At that moment, the battlefield fell into brief silence.
Garen once again became the center of attention, the protagonist in everyone's eyes.
Even Whitebeard, known as the strongest man in the world, could not help revealing an expression of astonishment and shock at the towering golden giant before him.
"Isn't that Fleet Admiral Sengoku's ability?"
That peculiar transformation, with a thousand-foot golden body for flesh and ten thousand zhang of Buddhist radiance for robes, made everyone realize something:
"How can one person have two Devil Fruit Abilities?"
Amid the noisy clamor of the crowd, Teach's expression became remarkably vivid.
The ability he had dreamed of possessing had actually appeared on his mortal enemy Garen.
Although Teach could tell from Garen's past displays that he definitely had not eaten the Dark-Dark Fruit, still...
This "Knight Fruit" clearly looked even stronger than the Dark-Dark Fruit!
Overwhelming disappointment and jealousy left Teach momentarily dazed.
It was not until a Marine officer, one of the first to realize they were still in the middle of a battle, slammed a fist into his face that Teach finally snapped out of it.
The most shocked person present, however, was San Juan:
He was the one and only mutated giant in the world. Everyone who saw him could only look up at him.
Because of the enormous difference in size between him and ordinary humans, San Juan had never once "looked straight at" an opponent from childhood to adulthood, aside from Sea Kings.
Yet the golden giant before him completely shattered San Juan's understanding of the world.
For a moment, he too fell into a brief daze like the other spectators.
But Garen had no intention of wasting time.
Because he knew his transformation would only last three minutes.
And he did not have a timer on
