A Raid on the Holy Land of Mary Geoise?

"Well done!"

Houka gave a thumbs-up. If Ancient Moon Ryuma had not still been inside Whitebeard Newgate, he would have hugged his son and praised him.

He had never expected all his sons to undergo such transformations in this war.

Kamui had split off a portion of Soul Fire. He probably was not far from awakening Conqueror's Haki.

Even while he was still stuffing himself, he could open a larger Rainbow Gate and let Rocks and the women out.

An excited Rocks joined the scramble
