"Bro, that was Joy Boy???"
Although he had expected it, Austin truly had not anticipated that this thing's oppressive presence would be this strong, especially that truly boundless outpouring of Conqueror's Haki.
Among the Twenty Kings, several Mythical Zoan Type Devil Fruit users were immediately shaken back into their human forms.
That even included that old schemer Imu.
"Who are you?"
Joy Boy noticed Austin first. This guy was peculiar; he could hear the Voice of All Things.
He could sense that it was as though the world itself was rejecting Austin.
But Austin did not answer. He merely swallowed and looked at the various figures surrounding the giant.
Mink Tribe, Lunarians, Poseidon the Mermaid Princess, people of Wano Country, Robot Emite...
No wonder they could stand against twenty of the world's strongest nations and their kings.
Even Austin had to admit that Joy Boy truly was the one.
"He should be impossible to kill now, right..."
East Blue.
"Mm... where am I..."
Appearing in midair, the legendary man slowly opened his eyes. As he fell freely, he felt over his body.
There was plenty of blood, and his wounds were all severe.
His body rubbed against the air, producing the howl of a falling wind.
But the sound of wind and waves was ever-present at sea, so no one noticed the figure in the sky, except for a short pink-haired runt.
Whether by coincidence or some instinctive premonition, he had been mopping the deck when he happened to glance upward.
A black shadow appeared, rapidly descending toward the ship they were on. It frightened him so badly that his legs gave out, and he collapsed to the ground.
That sight drew the attention of the other pirates.
They grabbed the pink-haired runt by the collar, seemingly berating him.
