"Black Lightning Secret Technique Collapse!"
As Yas's roar, brimming with madness and fighting spirit, rang through the skies, his fist, wreathed in a vortex of pitch-black lightning, finally slammed squarely into Zephyr's broad chest!
Boom!
An extraordinarily muffled explosion rang out, like a depth charge detonating on the seabed ten thousand meters below.
Zephyr's mountainlike body shuddered violently. The majesty and indifference that always filled his face instantly gave way to unbelievable pain and shock.
"Pfft!"
A great mouthful of blood sprayed uncontrollably from his mouth.
He could clearly feel a violent, chaotic surge of black lightning energy, brimming with destruction, piercing straight through his battle-hardened flesh, which could withstand magma, and his steel-hard Armament Haki like hundreds of millions of tiny venomous snakes, rampaging through his internal organs and tearing them apart!
This power was the very "Internal Destruction" he took such pride in!
But enhanced by Yas's absurd "Black Lightning," its destructive power was ten times more violent than his original technique! Ten times more overwhelming!
"You... monster!"
Zephyr used every ounce of strength he had to force those words through gritted teeth.
His massive body could no longer remain airborne. Like a sandbag struck by a giant hammer, he hurtled backward helplessly, plowing a deep trench a thousand meters long through the sea before barely coming to a stop.
He lowered his head and glanced at his chest. It was completely unscathed.
But his internal organs seemed to have endured a magnitude-twelve earthquake. They were already displaced and ruptured, a complete mess.
He was injured.
As a Former Marine Admiral and the supreme commander of the Holy Knights, he had actually been severely wounded head-on by a sixteen-year-old Marine brat using his own technique!
This humiliation was worse than death!
Yet Yas was hardly in better shape.
