Chapter 659: SFDI - 659
When the giant golden figure took shape and destroyed the Golden King Hotel, everyone on top had already retreated.
Several Overlords, with their respective partners, the Demon Dragon Magicians, flew into the air to assist Drake in fighting the giant gold figure.
Meanwhile, the others landed on the ground and confronted Tesoro’s three subordinates.
The three men who emerged from the wave of gold had all changed appearance—they were now clad in full-body golden armor.
The armor expert Erza commented, "What a luxurious and magnificent armor!"
Mr. Tanaka let out a strange laugh. "Sulululu, this isn’t ordinary armor—this is the golden armor made by Lord Tesoro’s ability!"
Baccarat drew the greatsword on her back and pointed at the crowd. "This armor can strengthen us. In short, we are now invincible!"
As she spoke, Dais already swung his giant golden axe, spinning like a windmill toward them.
Erza transformed into her Black Feather Armor, raised her hand, and blocked the descending golden axe with her serrated greatsword, then raised both arms to push Dais backward.
Kagura crouched behind her, releasing blades of light from her hands.
"Gravity Blade: Crescent Moon!"
Facing the crescent-shaped slash coming toward him, Dais concentrated his Armament Haki into his forehead, forming a black mark, and then charged headfirst.
The slash was directly deflected and shattered, and Dais’s feet slammed into the ground, cracking the surface.
Dais’s head shook, his eyes blank, looking as if he was on drugs, and he roared, "So satisfying! Give me an even stronger attack!"
Mr. Tanaka kept burrowing into the ground and jumping out from different places, firing bullets from his pistols from various directions.
But strangely, the bullets only flew past Gray and Julia, never hitting them.
Gray saw through Tanaka’s plan and said, "Are you deliberately missing to scare us? You’re such a despicable guy."
"Sulululu, yes, just enjoy this despair!"
Gray’s ice spear shot straight toward the source of the voice, but Mr. Tanaka had already burrowed underground again.
Gray sneered. "I don’t really like playing whack-a-mole!"
Baccarat walked through the crowd, touching each of Tesoro’s men in black suits.
The next moment, the giant golden figure from the distance stomped the ground as if crushing something underground. A massive crack suddenly appeared, and the black suits Baccarat touched screamed and fell down.
With a proud look, Baccarat began introducing her ability as if planting a flag: "I am a luck-user who ate the Luck-Luck Fruit. Not only can I steal others’ luck, but I can also freely use that luck."
She then arrogantly stuck her greatsword into the ground and threw out a gold coin.
The coin rolled on the ground and somehow ended up at a black-suited man’s foot. The man stepped on the coin and then fell backward, crashing into someone holding a rocket launcher.
The man with the rocket launcher was accidentally triggered, and the missile shot out, exploding in a distant ruin.
The ruin was blasted apart, and a broken water tower collapsed, heading straight toward Sasu and others below.
Susanoo activated, and the skeletal arm extended, swinging a Chaka Blade to cut the water tower in half.
"Luck? How laughable. In the face of absolute strength, luck is useless!"
Stella floated in midair, glancing at Baccarat.
She had seen this kind of ability before, in her own world.
It was long ago, during the Seven-Star Sword Dance Festival, when her opponent from the Akatsuki Academy was named Tenkami Shino.
His supernatural ability was called "Goddess Excessive Blessing," a rare causality-interference type. It could create a series of coincidences through wishes, achieving results that Shino desired—completely illogical!
His ability was far more exaggerated than Baccarat’s. He could even wish for an opponent’s death and cause their body’s precise functions to malfunction.
When Gintoki fought him, his heart temporarily stopped beating, nearly killed by him.
But in the end, Gintoki won. The goddess’s blessing could make things develop as Shino wished, but if that was impossible from the start, it was useless.
For example, Shino’s power couldn’t defeat Gintoki, just like how Baccarat wouldn’t be able to defeat Sasu and others now.
So, Stella confidently flew upward, heading for the real battlefield above.
Erza’s slash formed a sword web, colliding with Dais’s axe. In the final strike, both weapons were pushed apart simultaneously, but Kagura had already jumped into the air, wielding her sword for a downward slash.
Dais opened his arms wide and faced the attack with his chest!
"Gravity Blade: Naraku!"
The slash turned into a terrifying straight line, sweeping across, and Dais swung his giant axe to meet it.
"Wow! Can it be even stronger?"
The golden armor combined with Armament Haki’s double-layer defense allowed Dais to block Kagura’s slash without injury.
Erza, wearing her Seishin no Iki (Pure Heart) armor, inhaled a white mist, and the prism-like patterns appeared at her jawline.
"Different from Katakuri’s Armament Haki?"
Compared to Erza, Katakuri, who had fought her, was not only strong in Observation Haki but also highly skilled in Armament Haki.
In the original story, he even swelled Luffy’s rubber arm with top-tier Armament Haki, relying on it to enhance his power.
The so-called wrapping, hardening, or flowing techniques are just applications of Armament Haki—there’s no such thing as an advanced level.
They’re just different ways to apply Haki: wrapping for attack enhancement, hardening for defense, and flowing for internal damage.
Katakuri combined hardening and wrapping, increasing his rice cake hardness while boosting attack power.
Dais’s level, however, was clearly inferior; he only used hardening to build a powerful defense.
But that also allowed Erza to analyze Armament Haki more intuitively.
The effect of Seishin no Iki combined with the striped pattern made Erza more focused, and her sword began to show signs of special fluctuations.
It wasn’t quite Haki yet, but it was a prototype!
Kagura drew her sword into an Iai stance, aiming at the increasingly frantic Dais.
"Gravity Blade: Nage!"
The slash became a terrifying straight line, rushing forward. Dais swung his giant axe to block it.
"Ah-oh-oh-oh!"
Roaring, Dais actually split the slash, but his giant golden axe also shattered into pieces.
As the fragments fell, Dais saw Erza wielding her sword behind him.
With a flash of the blade, Erza appeared behind Dais and swung her sword.
Crack!
The golden armor on Dais cracked, and he collapsed to the ground with a loud thud.

Mr. Tanaka was still frantically burrowing, but just as he was about to hit the ground, a pool of water suddenly surged and condensed into Julia’s body.
Mr. Tanaka could pass through all inorganic matter, but he couldn’t pass through living tissue.
He looked down and saw that many areas of the ground had been covered with water—he immediately guessed that Julia could move her body through water at any time and needed to reach a place without water coverage.
Just as he was about to pass through a nearby wall, Gray suddenly rushed in front of him.
’Water is also inorganic, so it can’t hurt me!’
Thinking this, Mr. Tanaka was struck and a flower-shaped ice crystal appeared at his wound.
At that moment, he saw that the ice sword in Gray’s hand was actually red, mixed with Gray’s blood—no longer just inorganic.
But by then, it was too late to realize. He lost consciousness in the extreme cold.
---
The inexplicable appearance of banana peels, bombs rolling nearby, and the suddenly cracking ground caused Sasu a lot of trouble.
His attacks either missed or hit someone unknowingly blocking Baccarat, which only fueled his anger.
Baccarat also panicked now. Her stored luck was being depleted too quickly—so quickly that it made her nervous.
The gap in strength was too large. She didn’t have enough luck to turn the tide now.
Sasu approached Baccarat and said coldly, "If your luck were really good, you wouldn’t have appeared in front of us in the first place!"
Susanoo’s skeletal arm grabbed the exhausted Baccarat, slamming her into the ground.
