Blazing-hot white light engulfed the entire G-1 Fortress.
Bodies fell one after another as tens of thousands of ordinary Army soldiers died instantly.
They lost control of their bodies, and their sight was stripped away.
Their brains could still think, but the raging magnetic field threw their thoughts into utter chaos.
They did not even know what they were thinking.
Only those with powerful Observation Haki or awakened Conqueror's Haki could resist to some degree and keep their composure.
After all, both Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki could influence magnetic fields.
But that was all.
Armament Haki could not withstand the terrifying electromagnetic pulse.
It easily passed through the jet-black Haki, then poured into their bodies and wreaked havoc.
The nerves throughout their bodies and their biological magnetic fields were forcibly severed.
Under these conditions, the weaker ones could not even use Armament Haki. The Haki they had gathered was forced to dissipate.
Haki needed someone to control it.
Without that control, it was merely gas, offering no protection at all.
This was a secret weapon amplified by Byrnndi World. Its reach was broader and its power more terrifying than the two that had detonated during the God Valley War over a decade ago.
Back then, they had still been able to regain control of their bodies within a short time.
Now, they needed much longer.
Some could not regain control at all, becoming living dead for good.
The blast itself was not frightening. It was like a scorching gust sweeping over them in an instant.
But the terrifying electromagnetic pulse was the Magnetic Storm Bomb's true killing blow.
These pirates could not begin to understand technology like this.
Their instincts made them place too much trust in Armament Haki.
The best way to withstand a Magnetic Storm Bomb's detonation
