Chapter 73: Haki’s restraint experiment on ghost fruit (3000 words)
What is this?
Adrian frowned slightly and instantly entered the ghost state, transforming into a free ghost. He used his flying ability to avoid the ten sharp rogue lines that were thrust towards him.
Threads covered with jet-black armed domineering power penetrated ten bottomless black holes on the empty ground, and their power was quite terrifying.
Flying in mid-air, Adrian tried hard to recall the relevant details about Armed Color Haki.
Armed Haki can significantly increase personal defense and attack power, and can also touch the entity of the 'natural' fruit ability user, but it cannot prevent the ability user from activating abilities like the 'Hailou Stone'.
To a certain extent, the armed color can even defend against the ability of certain fruits, but the premise is that the strength of the armed color exceeds that of the opponent.
A very obvious example is "Doctor Death" Trafalgar Law, a future supernova and one of the New Shichibukai.
Through the ability of the surgical fruit, Luo can unfold the 'operating table' that controls everything - the slaughterhouse ROOM.
Everything in this operating table space is controlled by Luo.
When facing some weak enemies, Luo can easily cut their bodies and even exchange their souls.
But facing enemies with extremely high domineering strength, Luo's 'scalpel' couldn't even cut their skin!
In the future "Battle of Dressrosa", Luo fought with Doflamingo and failed to cut Doflamingo's body with the "scalpel", but he was able to use the "operating table" to fight with Doflamingo. Doflamingo switches places!
It's not that Luo doesn't want to cut open Doflamingo's body, but that his armed Haki is obviously weaker than Doflamingo's and he can't do it at all!
In comparison, Vergo, who seemed to have cultivated his armed domination to a very high level, was cut into several sections neatly. This is the difference...
Doflamingo held his hands empty, maintaining an attacking posture while still not forgetting to test his words.
"Fufufufu... flying? What was that ability just now? A superhuman Devil Fruit user?"
Adrian ignored him and continued to release mini ghosts to test the power of Armed Color Haki.
"Five colored thread!"
The mini ghost bomb once again came into contact with the thread covered with armament-colored Haki.
This time, Adrian finally saw clearly and understood what was going on!
The [will] exerted on the mini ghost to control its actions was [offset] by the armed haki that also contained extremely strong personal thoughts!
This is the real reason why the mini ghost was detonated in advance!
If the ability of the ghost fruit is restrained by the armed haki, then the mini ghost should be directly 'popped' by the thread like a balloon, and there should be no explosion at all!
However, the fact is that the explosive effect of the mini ghost is still continuing!
in other words.
This is not restraint!
Even if it is restraint, it is not as obvious as imagined!
While he felt slightly relaxed, Adrian's thoughts were spinning.
As one of the few mini-ghosts that can directly launch [physical attacks] and be detonated in advance by armed haki, what will happen to the emotional ghost series that can [touch the depths of the soul]?
Will he be restrained by the overlord-colored domineering energy that also represents spiritual power?
Just do it!
Taking into account the negative buff of the negative ghost which was 'little harmful but extremely insulting', Adrian thought for a moment and chose another emotional ghost that had a slightly weaker appearance but the same actual effect.
The Ghost of Melancholy·The Moment of Sage.
‘Sage’s Hour’, a series of emotional ghosts for men.
Enemies hit by this ghost will switch to thinking in the upper body, and at the same time fall into the "selfless state" where the mind is relaxed and has no desires or desires. During this period, the enemy will subconsciously stay away from anything H or bad, and some severe cases may even begin to think about the true meaning of life.
The melancholic ghost with a light blue fluorescent appearance flew rapidly towards Doflamingo.
"Have you changed your moves?" Doflamingo's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly raised his palms in a reasonable defensive posture, "Line Shield!"
Countless threads were weaving in and out, and in just a short moment, a huge white shield with a height of three meters was formed in front of Doflamingo.
However, Doflamingo's behavior is reasonable, but that does not mean he is correct.
The emotional ghost is no better than a mini ghost. It has no physical properties. It only takes a short moment to successfully break through the blockade of the line shield.
At such a close distance and at the speed of the Melancholy Ghost, Doflamingo couldn't react at all. He couldn't avoid it and was directly penetrated by the ghost.
"What——"
Doflamingo was instantly shocked, but unexpectedly discovered that the blue ghost did not cause any real harm. He was about to sarcastically mock Adrian.
As his body trembled slightly, he felt dull for a moment.
The enemy, the battle, the Celestial Dragons, everything was forgotten by Doflamingo. At this time, the only thought in his mind was to have a cigarette afterwards.
After a few seconds.
"What a joke!"
Veins suddenly appeared on Doflamingo's forehead, his pupils suddenly condensed, and an extremely violent aura gathered around him and spread towards the surroundings.
In an instant, extremely terrifying fluctuations broke out, suppressing the onlookers to the point of breaking out in cold sweat.
"Dover...he has never burst out with such a terrifying momentum..." Torebol was shocked, but then turned to ecstasy, "Under such terrifying overlord pressure, the guy opposite will definitely lose!"
"Dover... this is the Chosen One! This is our [King]!" Diamanti, who had long since struggled out of the influence of the negative ghost, also had wild eyes.
The other cadres of the Don Quixote family who were still awake were full of confidence in their young master at this moment.
Among the bystanders, only Tommy, who had hid aside early, was worried. He looked worriedly at the battle that was still going on in the sky, feeling very anxious inside.
At this time, Adrian also successfully collected the effect of [Overlord Color Haki] on the emotional series ghosts.
Not much different from what was expected.
As an innate soul qualification, Overlord Color Haki can indeed resist the influence of emotional ghosts.
Even if you are accidentally hit by the emotional ghost in advance, it is inevitable to be negatively affected, but you can also shorten the time of being affected by the burst of overlord color.
And for enemies who are releasing their domineering aura and whose energy and spirit are highly concentrated, I'm afraid the ghosts of the emotional series won't have much of an impact...
"Then there is only one remaining project." Adrian exhaled, "Test Haki's restraint on the ghost body!"
Mini Ghost·Nova Fire!
He once again released a large number of mini-ghosts and rushed towards Doflamingo, who was bursting with momentum.
Doflamingo, who did not dare to be careless at this time, also responded with dense string bullets. The thin strings made from his fingertips curled up into a ball and were fired at high speed like musket bullets, shooting down a large number of mini ghosts in advance.
A few scattered mini ghosts passed through the blockade of wire bullets and came to Doflamingo.
He quickly covered his feet with a layer of armed Haki, preparing to shoot down these troublesome ghost bombs.
However, at this moment.
Onimusha!
Adrian used his ability to instantly swap places with a mini ghost, while simultaneously activating his other two abilities.
[Six Styles·Return of Life·Iron Block·Iron Fist]! !
Bang!
The domineering right leg covered in armed color collided head-on with Adrian's fist, which was as hard as steel, making a loud noise like a cannonball and creating a violent air shock wave.
The next second, Adrian laughed heartily, and a blush caused by the rising blood appeared on his fair face.
"Hahahaha! That's it! [Armed Color Haki]! It's just [Media]!!"
He did not lose in this confrontation of strength. On the contrary, his fist continued to compete with Doflamingo's right leg!
Facing the [Ghost Body] that has been upgraded to the full level, Armed Color Haki did not show the 'targeting effect' it should have. Instead, it was directly consumed like a 'medium'!
Yes!
Doflamingo uses armed Haki as a consumption medium, thereby using his real body to touch the body under the [Ghost Body]. This is the real situation of the battle scene at this time!
In other words, Armed Color Haki can't cause any additional damage to the ghost body at all!
What can really cause damage is still the power released by the enemy's body.
Give an example.
For example, if an enemy's own strength attribute is 200, through the bonus of Armed Color Haki, his strength increases to 300, and he obtains other additional abilities of Armed Color Haki.
But when fighting Adrian, the enemy still only has 200 real power, and the armed color haki can only exert the basic effect of [touch the body], and any other bonuses are non-existent!
This is the true effect of Armed Color Haki - [Touch Medium]!
Armed Haki can [touch] ghosts, but it can only [touch] without any other additional effects.
Adrian used Onimusha again, switching places with a mini ghost and leaving Doflamingo's side.
"Fufufufu... I understand, you are the [White Ghost] of Xihai, right?"
"That's right, Mr. Doflamingo, but don't you think it's a little late to recognize my identity now?" Adrian raised one hand high, and a ghost continued to expand with his movements. Get up, "Are you ready for the final defeat, Mr. Doflamingo?"
Huge Ghost·Glorious Moment!
In Doflamingo's expression dripping with cold sweat, a huge white ghost slowly appeared, covering the sky and almost everything around him.
With my current ability, I can't stop it at all!
Doflamingo looked up at the sky and shouted in despair: "Even if I want to destroy the Don Quixote family, I must at least know the reason!"
Poof——
There was a soft pop.
The huge ghost was popped like a balloon, and strong winds swept across the earth, but did no harm.
"It's just a joke, Mr. Doflamingo." Adrian, who was in a happy mood, smiled, "Actually, I'm here to do business."
A big chapter of three thousand words, the second update will be in the evening.
