Misty World!

Hawkins's move was not actually difficult to decipher. Even before Koby warned him, he had been able to spot the abnormalities in the soldiers at a glance, proving that even visual interference had some unknown limit.

But as Hawkins had said, how many people on the entire fleet possessed Observation Haki like he did?

The Marines' greatest advantage over pirates was their superior firepower!

Smoker thought grimly. This time, he turned precisely toward Koby. "Your Observation Haki is quite impressive, Koby."

"You'll take command from here. I'm going to deal with Hawkins!"

No matter how suitable an ability was for large-scale warfare, there was one problem it could not avoid: when faced with an opponent's absolute superiority in combat power, soldiers fought soldiers and generals fought generals. In the end, a straightforward battle was inevitable!
