Good ignored the injuries on his back and swung a heavy punch at Redfield.
With the destructive power surging through his fist, the air itself tore apart as the blow landed squarely on Redfield's shoulder.
Redfield winced in pain, the vibration of his bones from the destructive force leaving him with an excruciating sensation.
Even though his body was fully covered in Armament Haki, the agony was unbearable.
"This guy…"
At that moment, Redfield was shocked.
Good's Armament Haki was unbelievably powerful. But what surprised him even more was that, despite Good's mind containing only one thought, how could his counterattack to the ambush be so fast?
Redfield had launched his strike when Good was still attacking Bullet, yet Good was able to immediately follow up with another attack.
This was something Redfield hadn't anticipated at all.
His combat awareness and instincts were far too strong, as if they were innate.
Just then, Good's system voice rang in his mind:
[Replication progress of Observation Haki: 123%].
Good had been through countless battles. He had learned Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki through fighting, but his Observation Haki had always been slow to improve, with little progress.
Now, with Redfield — a peak-level master of Observation Haki — in front of him, his Observation Haki was skyrocketing in growth.
Good's heart stirred.
Although reading minds, the pinnacle effect of Observation Haki, was practically useless for someone like him who had sacrificed his intelligence…
After all, in battle, would Good ever rely on reading someone's thoughts?
Why bother? Just fight! What's the point of overthinking?
But whether it was useful or not, he was still interested in acquiring such a flashy skill.
Because of this, Good decided to fight two at once — both Bullet and Redfield.
The former for the Clank-Clank Fruit, and the latter for Observation Haki.
Good laughed loudly. "Since you're both here, let's dance together! You want to join in, right?"
Redfield flipped several times in the air before stabilizing and landing on the ground.
He glanced at Good, his eyes solemn.
He didn't understand what Good meant by "dance," so he immediately used his mind-reading ability.
But what he saw left him utterly speechless.
Good's head contained no complicated plans at all, only one single thought: Fight, fight, fight!!
"Is this guy's IQ cut off or something…?"
Redfield barely finished mocking him before his body stiffened.
The massive figure of Good had already lunged at him. He rolled away, but suddenly a wall formed from rubble behind him shoved him forward.
It was Good, using the Float-Float Fruit to control the ruins and block his escape.
If Good had consciously planned this, Redfield's Observation Haki would have caught it beforehand, allowing him to respond.
But Good hadn't. His actions were nothing more than instinct driven by his [God-Level Combat Awareness], making them unpredictable even to someone who could read minds.
That was the part that baffled Redfield the most.
Even Roger himself, despite being a powerful fighter, would still think during battle — about how to strike, how to counter.
But Good? Nothing. Just pure instinct.
He had already lost his chance.
Good grabbed Redfield's arm.
At that very moment, the furious Bullet lunged forward.
Good grinned, swinging Redfield by the arm. "Secret Technique: Human Tornado!"
Holding onto Redfield, Good began spinning him in a 360-degree whirlwind.
Even Redfield couldn't help but admire him.
"Even in the middle of naming his attacks, he just blurts it out on the spot!?"
Was this guy even human?
Truly, a brainless man!
But Redfield's struggles were pointless. Good's strength was overwhelming, locking him in a spiral, unable to break free.
The clash with Bullet followed.
"Seiryu Descends!!"
Suddenly, black lightning crackled.
On the battlefield, all the other powerhouses stopped fighting for a moment.
Sengoku was stunned. "Using a person as a weapon — and still wrapping them in lightning!?"
Whitebeard was equally shaken. "This brat has opened my eyes… If he weren't a Marine, he'd surely become the next Pirate King…"
At this point, in the hearts of all present, Good's strength was undeniable.
He had already surpassed Rocks.
Rocks had once fought against two Yonko-level beings, but that was against Roger and Garp at their absolute peak.
Now, Good required Yonko-level opponents just to hold him back.
Good continued tangling with both Redfield and Bullet.
Redfield tried several times to break away from the battle, but every time, Good dragged him back in.
"Why the hell is it just me and Bullet!?" Redfield thought in frustration.
He was still regretting his earlier sneak attack on Good.
This guy was insane.
After hundreds of exchanges, the sound Good had been waiting for finally rang in his mind:
[Congratulations, Host! Replication progress of the Clank-Clank Fruit increased!]
Good was overjoyed.
He hadn't been this excited about replicating other Devil Fruits before, but this one was just too cool.
Now, all that was left was to finish copying Redfield's mind-reading Observation Haki.
Abandoning Bullet, Good shattered the giant mecha with one punch before immediately turning and charging at Redfield.
Redfield's eyes widened. "!?"
