"Boss! He ran!" Seeing Erid turn and flee, Jazz was furious and hurriedly called out to Ronglin.
But Ronglin remained unmoved by Erid's shout. His gaze followed the turning head as he scanned the surroundings. When Erid had appeared earlier, he had clearly sensed an immensely powerful aura nearby. Yet now, even after using Observation Haki, he could no longer detect it.
