"Calamity Elegy!"
"Abyssal Undertow!"

At times, he unleashed sonic roars from his mouth that carried mentally corrupting effects.
At other times, he summoned filthy black water filled with sludge, raising massive tsunamis.
On top of that, he wielded a thousand octopus tentacles coated in Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.

This ensured that at least one of the five sand
