"One minute!"
Chaos fixed her with a sharp gaze and held up one finger, brimming with arrogance. "In one minute, we'll leave it to fate!"
The temperature inside his imposing golden armor kept climbing, and wisps of white steam poured out in greater and greater numbers, making Chaos look even more fierce and commanding.
They would settle the fight within a minute. Whatever happened, it would be over when the time ran out.
"I want you to give it everything you've got. Fight like it's kill or be killed."
"Even if I, the Golden Emperor, die, I'll die in battle."
"One minute. Whatever the outcome, I'll let you go."

"Are you going to use your Devil Fruit powers?"
Chaos kept up his kingly look of disdain, but inside, he stayed on guard.
He hadn't forgotten that she was a Devil Fruit user.
