The Yarukiman Mangrove was severed cleanly in the middle.
The lower half remained utterly still, while the upper half soared into the air.
The astonishing sight drew wave after wave of screams.
Sea Roar Apu, Mad Monk Urouge, and Gluttonous Woman Bonney were also stunned by the scene.
They were certain that it had been Luo's power that severed the Yarukiman Mangrove, not Maud, who had been fighting Luo.
The smile that Urouge always wore suddenly became somewhat strained.
Bonney, meanwhile, struggled to swallow an unchewed meat patty.
Apu's restless limbs froze in midair.
"Hey, hey, you've got to be kidding me. With strength like this... how could his bounty be only two hundred million?!"
Apu stared at the Yarukiman Mangrove rising into the air in disbelief.

If he couldn't even block a Supernova's attack, wouldn't his reputation be completely undeserved?

Just a moment ago, they had clearly witnessed Luo's formidable strength.
Naturally, they had assumed that Luo and Maud would fight for dozens of rounds at the very least.
Yet in the next moment, Luo looked as though he had been defeated, his clothes slashed
