"Whoosh!"
Facing flames hot enough to scorch the air, Meru darted straight through them like a nimble cat. Not even a strand of her hair was singed,
A blur flashed past, and the claws in Meru's hand were about to pierce Vinsmoke's eldest son,
"Winch Strike!"
A green figure suddenly appeared beside Ichiji. A gust of air erupted where Meru's arm met his fist, and the blow sent her flying,

Yet Ichiji looked delighted rather than alarmed. His white teeth showed as he grinned,
"You fell for it, brat!"
"Fire Rain Burst!"
"Boom!"
The firestorm, already scorching hot, suddenly exploded like
