Vongola Primo in One Piece - Chapter 417

Even with Iron Body, Aim couldn’t completely block the damage from Issho’s slash at such a close range, enhanced with Dying Will Flames.

As he was struck, Aim was sent flying and crashed hard into the rubble, a visible wound on his right shoulder bleeding profusely, staining half his body red. However, he didn’t have time to worry about his injuries. His eyes were fixed on Issho, trying to understand how he could launch such a precise attack despite losing his five senses. With all five senses stripped away, Observation Haki should be rendered useless.

“How is this possible?!”

Axe, who was fighting Xanxus, was equally shocked. Despite often mocking Aim’s habit of zoning out, he was aware of his colleague’s strength and terrifying ability. Even he would be helpless if his five senses were stripped away, unable to retaliate or comprehend his surroundings. But this external advisor chief, Issho, not only reacted but also precisely counterattacked, hitting Aim as he passed by, defenseless.

Issho’s five senses weren’t deprived?

But Aim’s halo had struck him!

“Oh my, I can’t hear anything right now, but I assume you’re filled with questions, right? I just learned of your ability to seal off the five senses. It’s truly terrifying and nearly defeated me.”

Issho suddenly smiled, his words far more agreeable than his situation suggested. He seemed to effortlessly ignore the power of Aim’s ability, capitalizing on a brief opportunity to injure him, not a near defeat at all. It was more like he had complete control over the battle.

“How did you respond so precisely? Wasn’t your five senses stripped away?” Even knowing Issho couldn’t hear him, Aim roared in disbelief.

As if hearing Aim’s thoughts, Issho continued, “Indeed, my five senses have been sealed. I can’t see or hear anything. Though I was blind before, this feels different. My ability to react comes from my Observation Haki.”

“Impossible! Observation Haki should fail alongside the five senses…”

Without waiting for Aim to finish, Issho addressed the obvious, “You must be thinking that typical Observation Haki fails with the senses. However, my Observation Haki underwent a special change about a year ago.”

Aim’s expression turned serious as he cautiously asked, “Voice of All Things?”

Voice of All Things, an advanced form of Observation Haki, was once possessed by the Pirate King Gol D. Roger. Aim had never encountered this power, so he didn’t know if his sensory deprivation ability could affect someone with it.

“No, I’m not that extraordinary. I call my ability ‘Mind’s Eye’ or ‘Sixth Sense.’ Your power is strong, sealing off the five senses, leaving most at your mercy. But my Mind’s Eye acts as a sixth sense.”

Issho grinned, pleased with his ability. After becoming the external advisor chief, he had seen the Vongola guardians’ prowess and never stopped improving himself. His efforts paid off a year ago with the development of this sixth sense.

The Mind’s Eye allowed Issho to perceive everything around him, akin to a high aerial view surveying the ground, including himself. Though he didn’t fully understand its workings, it was incredibly effective.

Aim frowned, never expecting such an opponent. Issho seemed tailored to counter him, with a sense beyond the five. The evolution of his Observation Haki into this troublesome ability was unsettling.

Aim had yet to consider his ability, which stripped away five senses, to be just as vexing to opponents.

“I planned to handle this easily, but now I’ll crush you head-on!”

Aim steeled himself, his Armament Haki covering his injury. As a CP0 officer, he wasn’t just a fruit user. His martial arts, especially Iron Body, were exceptional.

Without further ado, Aim charged, using Shave and Moonwalk, leaving afterimages as he approached Issho from behind, his Armament Haki-fueled Finger Gun poised to strike.

Issho, fully focused, readied himself. Despite the Mind’s Eye, it was new and must be fully mastered. The loss of his senses still impacted him.

“Dying Will Flame: Tiger Bite!”

Using the Dying Will Flames for propulsion, Issho swiftly turned, meeting Aim’s attack head-on with his cane sword.

Their clash echoed loudly, the force of their attacks shaking the battlefield.
