Bright's Observation Haki was very special.
He could hear sounds—many, many sounds. Not only the emotions within people's hearts, but even the sounds emitted by lifeless objects were crystal clear to him.
But this time, the sound he heard filled him with nothing but dread.
It was a sound that truly belonged to something powerful. Merely hearing it gave him an overwhelming sense of something invincible!
The last time he had heard a similar sound was when he found Pluto in the lava lake deep beneath Wano Country!
That was not something that could be resisted with flesh alone!
Bright realized it immediately. A true monster had arrived!
He could not keep stalling here. He had to leave the battlefield at once!
So he went all out without hesitation.
He shifted directly back into his Dragon Human form, lightning exploding across his body as he shot forward like a gale.
The two girls were wrapped in clouds and dragged behind him as they sped forward with him.
In an instant, Bright had nearly launched himself right in front of Charlotte Linlin.
"Do you take me for an easy target?"
Charlotte Linlin naturally assumed that Bright had chosen her as the weak point. Roaring in fury, she brought her greatsword down at him.
"Emperor Sword—Blasted Blade!!"
Black lightning coiled around the blade as it cleaved down toward Bright's head.
Bright pushed his Observation Haki to its limit, listening with all his might to every sound Charlotte Linlin gave off.
The sounds of her arms, the sound of the blade, even the sound of her Haki.
Even without seeing the future, he understood Charlotte Linlin's attack perfectly.
With a simple sidestep, he evaded the merciless, earth-shattering strike of the world's strongest woman. Then Bright threw a punch.
"Current Drive—Secret Art—King's Warrior Pierce!"
