Dark clouds churned across the dim sky. Lightning flashed, thunder roared, and fierce winds howled.
It was already the fourth day of Luo Han's battle against Roger and Garp.
On the sea, a Navy warship swayed as it headed toward Warship Island.
"This weather? If I remember correctly, it shouldn't appear around that island."
