In Fish-Man Plaza, over a hundred thousand people looked up at the sky.
Armor gleaming with golden light, a greatsword blazing with fierce flames, and sword energy as magnificent and grand as a falling crescent moon.

"What?"
The once-arrogant Hody Jones was instantly stunned by an entrance straight out of a myth.
