"Damn it! Shanks, we can't keep this up."
They had been attacking for a long time without gaining any ground.
Facing a monster like this, even a Four Emperors crew was struggling to hold on.
Beckman looked gravely at Shanks, whose face was also showing fatigue, and said, "If we can't defeat this monster together, then no matter how many times we try, it'll be useless. We'll only end up at a disadvantage."
After all, they would grow tired!
But this monster would not!
However...
"I know!" Shanks understood their situation as well. Looking at the monster that showed no signs of weakening despite their relentless assault, he said with a bitter smile, "So this is the monster's complete form? I have to say, Uta's ability is truly terrifying."
