Lorne's right fist, drawn back at his waist, suddenly shot forward, and the pure golden Grit roiling around him condensed over his knuckles into a seemingly solid pillar of destructive light.
Magellan's pupils abruptly shrank to pinpoints, and every hair on his body stood on end.
How can he charge so fast?! Even my Observation Haki can't fully track his movements!
Magellan roared inwardly, crossing his arms before his chest as every last bit of toxin within him erupted without restraint.
"Poison Way: Venomous Armor!"
Deep purple venom gushed wildly from every pore in Magellan's body, forming a semisolid poison shield several feet thick that tightly encased him.
"Stop it!"
A beastlike roar tore from Magellan's throat as Armament Haki coated the venomous armor's outer layer like ink.
Even if you're immune to venom, this poison armor reinforced with Armament Haki is as hard as steel!
Only one of the Four Emperors could break through this defense head-on!
Magellan gritted his teeth, veins bulging wildly beneath his skin.
Yet the instant Lorne's iron fist touched that purple-black poison armor, dazzling golden light tore straight through the viscous venom.
Haymaker, True Damage calculation!
Boom!
The Haki-coated poison armor, strong enough to withstand a battleship's heavy artillery, shattered inch by inch like brittle paper under the blow powered by fully stacked Grit.
The pure true damage encountered no resistance, ignoring the dual defenses of the venom shield and Armament Haki to strike Magellan squarely in the chest.
Crack!
An exceptionally sharp sound of breaking bones rang piercingly through the enclosed hall as Magellan's ribs instantly caved in beneath the crushing fist.
Impossible... the Haki and poison armor couldn't even stop it for a thousandth of a second?!
This force... it's penetrating my flesh and pulverizing my internal organs directly!
Magellan's eyes instantly
