Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Pillars of lightning shot down from the sky.
Electric light scattered in all directions as airwaves churned.
With his Observation Haki fully unleashed, Golden Lion merely reached back and clenched his hand.

With a wave of Golden Lion's hand, the lion's head immediately bit toward the descending pillar of lightning.
