Chapter 283: Progress Under Pressure! Armament Haki's Transformation!
Chapter 283: Progress Under Pressure! Armament Haki's Transformation!
"These guys… they actually brought out Seastone weapons!"
Upon sensing what the CP0 agents were wielding, Uchiha Yi was momentarily shocked.
This made it abundantly clear—
The World Government was absolutely determined to eliminate him.
It made sense—
With the legacy of Rocks D. Xebec looming over them, the World Government could not afford to allow another potential threat like him to rise unchecked.
If they let Uchiha Yi grow, they might soon face an even stronger version of Rocks!
This could throw the balance of the world into chaos.
And if that happened, their iron grip on power would inevitably be shaken.
The God Valley Incident was still fresh in the minds of the Five Elders.
"Kill!"
Realizing that Uchiha Yi had noticed their Seastone weaponry, the CP0 agents stopped hiding their intentions.
They brandished their Seastone-infused weapons, making their attacks far more lethal!
Although the system had eliminated his Devil Fruit's drawbacks, it could not remove the natural suppression Seastone had over Devil Fruit users.
It wasn't a side effect—it was a fundamental law of this world.
Like how water extinguishes fire—
Seastone could seal a Devil Fruit user's abilities.
Even without the usual side effects of weakness or drowning, direct contact with Seastone would completely negate his Devil Fruit powers.
If that happened, he'd lose over half his strength!
And in this situation—without his Devil Fruit abilities, he was dead for sure!
The CP0 agents charged in again, their Seastone weapons gleaming, each attack now even more aggressive.
On top of that—
They were all Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, with fully awakened abilities.
They were tough, resilient, and nearly unkillable.
Unless their heads were severed, they could regenerate from almost any injury.
They were a pack of relentless monsters!
This alone was proof of how terrifyingly deep the World Government's resources were.
Compared to them—
The Revolutionary Army was still in its infancy, far from capable of overthrowing the World Government.
"Skin Transformation—Three Heads, Six Arms!"
Fighting against multiple high-level opponents, Uchiha Yi needed to maximize his efficiency.
In an instant, his body morphed.
Two additional heads sprouted from his shoulders, and two extra pairs of arms emerged from his waist and back—each wielding a blade!
At the same time—
He fully unleashed his Conqueror's Haki!
BOOM!
The sky darkened, storm clouds churned, and crimson lightning crackled around him.
The entire battlefield trembled—as if the world itself was being torn apart.
Combined with the influence of his Drawing Fruit's Awakened Power, it created an apocalyptic scene.
To the CP0 agents, it felt like a demon from hell had stepped into the mortal realm.
The air grew thick with malice and unrelenting bloodlust.
His three pairs of eyes scanned the enemies coldly—
A twisted, eerie smile playing on his lips.
If it weren't for the fact that his face was still recognizable, they might have thought someone completely different had replaced him.
Just from the visual presence alone, Uchiha Yi felt far more terrifying than before!
Even though they had Seastone weapons, the CP0 agents couldn't help but feel a slight unease.
"Kill!"
Despite the mental pressure, the CP0 agents quickly regained their composure.
They had already made their choice before coming here.
There was only one option—
Victory.
There was no room for failure.
No matter how powerful Uchiha Yi was, retreat was not an option!
Fight!
Fight!
Fight!
With this, the battle entered its second phase.
The intensity surpassed everything before!
"Secret Art—Life Return: Bear Palm Shockwave!"
The short-faced bear CP0 made his move.
As the other CP0 agents kept Uchiha Yi occupied, he concentrated all his energy into one palm.
His bear paw suddenly swelled in size—
To an uninformed observer, it might look like Luffy's Third Gear or even a Buddhist Palm Technique.
Then—
He slammed his massive paw down toward Uchiha Yi!
Even before the attack landed—
Uchiha Yi felt the air compressing, making it thicker and harder to breathe.
The oxygen levels spiked, causing chest tightness and coughing.
It felt like being crushed under millions of tons of weight.
If not for his insane physique, he would have turned into pulp on the spot.
"Strong!"
For the first time in a long time, Uchiha Yi felt genuine pressure.
Instead of fear—
His excitement soared!
Every cell in his body seemed to ignite, filling him with boundless energy.
Without consciously realizing it, he channeled that energy into his Armament Haki.
This pressure was like a hammer forging steel—
Tempering his Haki into something stronger!
Then—
In a single moment, his Armament Haki underwent a qualitative transformation!
It was no longer just iron—
It had become steel!
"Hahaha!"
"This is incredible…"
Uchiha Yi burst into laughter.
It felt like pulling an SSS-tier character in a gacha game—
You just had to throw them into battle, no matter their level.
The original story never explicitly divided the strength of Armament Haki.
It was only described as varying from person to person.
However, its usage techniques were divided into three stages:
1. Hardening & Coating
2. Emission (Flowing Haki)
3. Internal Destruction
The Wano Country "Ryou" Haki wasn't an advanced version—
It was just the name given to the Flowing Haki technique.
But now—
Uchiha Yi knew his own Armament Haki had reached an even higher level.
The difference was clear—
Like iron turning into steel.
To put it simply:
Unawakened Armament Haki → Raw Iron
Awakened Armament Haki → Refined Iron
Transformed Armament Haki → Steel
Thus—
Uchiha Yi dubbed this new level of power:
"Steel Realm" Armament Haki!
Now, his Haki was not just stronger—
It could coat his internal organs, drastically increasing his durability!
