Vergo looking as hurt as the Terminator with some strawberry jelly leftovers..
I didn't say he was trying his hardest though..
So taking damage weaken his bones or something or it weakened his Haki or both?
Usopp should be the prime example of that, of sheer will he was able to remain concious after taking 2 tons swing to the head.. Or Oden surviving boiling oil for 1 hour while holding the Scabbards.. As long as you have will power you good to go, that's how Luffy won against Katakuri too..
