Facing Magellan's Poison Dragon.
Bondrewd strolled forward. His heavy-looking black mechanical armor "walked" across the snow without leaving so much as a footprint.
He clapped his hands together in front of his chest with a crisp clap.
A high-intensity, nanosecond pulsed electric field unfolded, sending an invisible conical force field toward the three poison dragons.
Magellan's Observation Haki instantly delivered an eerie warning of immense energy unlike anything he had ever experienced. Amid the ice and snow, every hair on his body stood on end.
The three poison dragons gave off brief white flashes in unison, then vanished on the spot as though rubbed out with an eraser.
Visually, it was remarkably inconspicuous.
-BOOM!!!!!
As they disappeared, a brief, piercing blast erupted out of thin air.
A tsunami-like shock wave spread outward, "sweeping away" the snow and exposing a huge circle of brick paving.
When the shock wave swept past Bondrewd, it flowed smoothly around him, leaving a narrow, cone-shaped safe zone behind him.
The circular clearing now resembled a pie chart with a ninety-percent sector.
First, Magellan heard a crackling like shattering glass, almost as though he were hallucinating. Then the overwhelming blast sent him flying.
"Oh my... did I overdo it a little?"
Watching Magellan get blasted away by the shock wave, Bondrewd touched the side of his helmet with a hint of "embarrassment."
When he said he could "simulate" the Venom-Venom Fruit, he only meant its "appearance."
He had no idea what the Venom-Venom Fruit's "poison" was actually made of. He had avoided showing off with conventional "chemical reactions"-if they failed, that would be genuinely embarrassing.
So, with an abundance of caution, "Sephiroth" had used Dielectric Breakdown to physically erase it. He hadn't expected the resulting Coulomb Explosion to make quite such a racket.
