Would Sakazuki really let Tsugikuni Yoriichi leave just like that?
If Sakazuki had come to Baterilla Island this time merely to see Tsugikuni Yoriichi off, then Marine Headquarters would never have dispatched him, the representative figure of the Marine Hawk Faction, in the first place.
After Sakazuki's Meteor Volcano fell into the sea, dense white mist enveloped Sakazuki's fleet.
However, not long after Yoriichi's evacuation fleet set sail, the thick mist was dispersed by a sudden burst of intense firelight.
An enormous mass of magma shot out of the mist, speeding toward the flagship where Yoriichi stood from the side.
