Seeing Kaze's Susanoo about to meet the falling meteor head-on.
Everyone on the ground held their breath.
Though they believed in Kaze's strength, the sight before them was still far too shocking.
Kaze, meanwhile, focused all his attention on the meteor.
If he merely wanted to destroy it, it would not have been difficult for him at all.
He would not even need a complete Susanoo.
Even his main body could pierce through the meteor as long as it was coated in Armament Haki.

A wisp of green smoke drifted into the night sky.
The surroundings abruptly
