Under the sea, Su Xiao slowly descended. He released about ten meters of Boundary Severing Thread, with one end connected to the spool at his wrist and the other wrapped around Spero's arm.
As Su Xiao sank, Spero was dragged downward by the Boundary Severing Thread.
Spero's eyes rolled white. His body convulsed as a large mass of bubbles poured from his mouth, his expression filled with agony.
Su Xiao didn't rashly approach Spero. Devil Fruit ability users lost all their strength in seawater—in other words, every Devil Fruit ability user was a landlubber.
