Then Lorne drew back his right fist.
"Haymaker!"
A massive golden shock wave erupted from his fist, carrying true damage that could ignore all defenses. It plowed a huge trench through the flagship's entire deck, instantly pulverizing every pirate and structure in its path.

The entire pirate ship began to break apart under that punch, seawater pouring in wildly.
Harris struggled out of the wreckage. The golden shock wave had grazed half his body, leaving mangled flesh and even stark white bone exposed.
