Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 177: The Premonition of "Taking the Blame"
Observation Haki is a kind of "listening" power. By listening to the sounds made by the opponent's body, data can be collected to judge the opponent's next move, achieving the effects of early warning, reconnaissance and foresight.

This is an unavoidable process and phenomenon. The body makes faint sounds all the time, which are not controlled by subjective consciousness.

Even dead people are the same... bacterial proliferation and carbohydrate decomposition are also clearly perceived through the observation Haki.

If someone has no sound at all, don't doubt it...

He definitely ate the Silence Fruit...

Of course, in addition to judging the target's next action by the sounds produced by the body, Observation Haki has deeper applications.

Rayleigh once said that Luffy's perception of emotions is clearer than his perception of sounds, and that since he can sense other people's emotions, he must be able to master Observation Haki.

mood……

Katakuri can see five seconds into the future.

Foreknowledge...

Princess Otohime can hear the inner voices of others.

Mind reading...

As well as the little devil Momonosuke and Luffy, who "must die and may already be dead", can hear the voice of the elephant master.

The Voice of Everything...

It can be seen that Observation Haki is not just the collection and judgment of sounds, but also a mysterious way of perception that cannot be described in words. Compared with its actual development of various branches, simple prediction is actually inferior.

Observation Haki, which is one of the three top human powers along with Armament Haki and Conqueror Haki, is definitely not as simple as shown in the original work.

Just like Donte now, even if he only masters the most basic application, he can play Drake in the palm of his hand.

He knew Drake's maximum attack range, attack strength, and attack methods better than Drake himself... Although his strength and speed were still far from enough, facing an existence that saw through him completely, ordinary level of physical suppression seemed meaningless.

When he was about to swing, Donte even knew clearly the attack route that was following him and was prepared early.

This is a complete crushing!

……

Boom! !

A thick tail smashed down on his head, and a spider-web-like pit appeared on the ground. Dongte stepped back half a step as if taking a walk, and the tail hit nothing.

Then, Dongte raised his hand and cut horizontally, the sharp edge burst out, and the sword light rippled!
laugh……

"Ow!!!"

Deep scratches that could be seen through the bone appeared at the tip of the tail, and the hard scales prevented Drake from becoming a lizard with a broken tail. He screamed, kicked his powerful lower limbs, and rushed towards Dongte with his huge and ferocious head.

"Mu Da Mu Da..."

Dongte shook his head slowly, and just as the opponent was about to touch his body, he slightly turned sideways, dodging the sudden attack that was enough to break the steel plate with a gap of a millimeter. At the same time, he raised his weapon and exerted force with his arm muscles.

hum! !

Armament Haki, Entanglement!!

hardening!!
The sword blade suddenly turned black and purple, and the cold blade exuded a murderous intent. Taking advantage of this opportunity, it chopped down at the neck that was so close.

Chi… Ding!!
The sound of metal clashing and sparks flying!
Suddenly, the huge head twisted to the left, and after the sword had penetrated ten centimeters into the body, it actually bit the sword with its teeth!
"I didn't expect this... I thought you were going to take this opportunity to attack me..."

Dongte said slowly, and the next second he let go of his sword, clenched his right fist and hit Drake's nose. The fist wrapped in Armament Haki was like a heavy hammer, and one hit could kill someone! The nose is the most vulnerable and obvious facial feature of most creatures!
Drake was shocked, opened his mouth and jumped back. "Thank you!"

Suddenly, Dong Te changed his fist into a palm and caught the weapon. At the same time, with the help of the inertia brought by the punch, he advanced instead of retreating!

shave!
Run to the limit!

The two of them almost simultaneously unleashed their own acceleration skills, their speed was shocking. In the eyes of ordinary people, it only took a moment for them to appear from the center of the battlefield to the edge of the port.

However, the positions of the two people did not change at all, as if they had moved horizontally.

"what is that?"

"I don't know...did they discuss this?"

The soldiers were stunned, staring at the two people appearing in the distance, their hearts full of doubts and confusion.

But Drake was more surprised than them!

He decided to use the Limit Run at the moment when Donte used the Razor, and the characteristics of the use of the Razor determined that once it was activated, it could not change direction or change the landing point. Drake, who used the movement skill later, had the advantage of the landing point, and he only needed to avoid the opponent's movement path.

However, Dongte followed him as if he was moving horizontally, and the sword in his hand was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, slashing at him relentlessly. This showed that Dongte had anticipated the direction and landing point of his movement from the beginning, and he was completely seen through!

In a moment of surprise, the sharp blade came at him at high speed. Drake didn't have the strength to move a second time in an instant, so he could only twist his body as much as possible to avoid the vital parts.

laugh!
"Roar!!!"

The sword penetrated his body and made a hole at Drake's shoulder blade, not too far from his heart.

Drake was in great pain and swung his body wildly, trying to knock Donte away. But Donte was like duckweed in the wind, dodging every attack and occasionally backhanding him with a sword, leaving deep scratches on him.

However, his madness still had a certain effect. Facing Drake's crazy struggle, Donte had to dodge most of the time and couldn't find an opportunity to continue to hit him hard for a while.

The two men started fighting with each other. Dongte changed directions and swung his sword flexibly. The monster, which was more than six meters tall, was beaten and wailed continuously. It looked extremely miserable and anyone who saw it cried.

Seeing this scene, Ron nodded silently in the fortress office.

"The outcome is decided..."

Drake is not Luffy. He is a wild monkey who was able to catch the target by intuition alone when facing the spoon used by "Hundred Strategies" Crowe in the East China Sea. Therefore, even if he cannot use Haki, he can repeatedly defeat powerful enemies. His innate intuition is many times beyond that of ordinary people!
Now suppressed by Donte's observation Haki, every attack of Drake was seen through. Even though Donte was more seriously injured than him, the gap had been infinitely narrowed or even surpassed.

This is not a gap that can be made up by just working hard.

If you can, you can, if you can't, you can't.

Luffy was able to do it because he had extraordinary combat instincts, so he had the capital to fight desperately, but Drake had nothing.

Although the sword failed to hit the vital point and completely deprived him of the ability to resist, and the seriously injured Dongte could not hold on for too long, but if it was just to decide the winner...it had actually been decided.

Ron held the teapot calmly, crossed his legs and thought carefully.

"The next thing is Drake's matter..."

"If he wanted to escape, why didn't he flee back to the North Sea? Diving into the New World from Chambord and using warships to directly cross the Calm Belt would undoubtedly be more convenient and faster. Why would he head towards Upside Down Mountain? Was it an accident? Or is there another hidden story?"

Ron's mind was full of thoughts. After a moment, he sighed, "I hope nothing goes wrong. I already smell the scent of 'taking the blame'..."

At the same time, high in the sky, Doflamingo stood on an inaudibly thin silk thread, looking at the white and brilliant G10 branch beneath his feet, and smiled evilly.

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"
