He held his long blade across his body, trying to withstand the blow with the dual defenses of gravity and Haki.
The next instant, Lorne appeared out of thin air before Fujitora.
His right fist was already drawn all the way back, every muscle in his body tensed to its limit, like a fully drawn bow.
"Break!"
Lorne roared, driving his right fist into Fujitora's Cane Sword with overwhelming force.
Clang!
The instant fist met blade, an ear-piercing metallic clang erupted.
Terrifying sound waves spread outward in a ring, stripping away layers of the hard ground.
The stalactites on the hall's vaulted ceiling could not withstand the vibrations. They broke off and fell, only to be shredded into dust by the force in midair.
Boom!
The tremendous impact erupted fully at the point of collision.
Fujitora felt an irresistible force surge through his blade, brutal and wild, carrying the will to destroy everything.
The ground beneath his feet collapsed instantly, and his legs plowed two trenches several feet deep through the stone slabs.
"Urgh!"
Fujitora grunted, sliding backward uncontrollably under the tremendous force.
"Hold!"
Fujitora clenched his teeth, trying to suppress the impact with gravity.
Yet the power coming from Lorne's fist was like one raging wave after another, unending.
Crack!
The ground behind Fujitora could no longer withstand the pressure and exploded.
That punch sent him flying, blade and all.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fujitora's body smashed through three stone pillars, each as thick as a person could encircle with both arms, before slamming into the stone wall at the far end.
A huge crater instantly caved into the wall, and countless chunks of rubble buried him.
For a moment, only the rustle of falling rubble remained in the hall.
Such monstrous strength... it nearly shattered my Armament Haki!
