"Well now?"
"That really sent him flying far!"
A mass of golden light rapidly condensed into a solid form above where Kozuki Oden had originally stood. Borsalino held one hand against his forehead and looked in the direction Oden had flown. The wrinkles on his face slowly spread as he revealed a half-smiling expression.
Boom!!
Kozuki Oden flew backward over a hundred meters and slammed straight into the wall. After a thunderous boom, thick smoke and dust obscured everyone's vision.
After kicking Kozuki Oden away, Borsalino showed no intention of stopping. Looking toward the smoke, he slowly raised a finger as a golden laser rapidly gathered at its tip.
"Ju—" A piercing whistle rang out as several lasers shot from Borsalino's fingertips, blasting toward the direction Kozuki Oden had flown.
Boom!!!
The lasers vanished into the smoke and dust, followed immediately by violent explosions erupting against the wall. Blazing firelight illuminated Marineford in the predawn darkness.
Terrifying shockwaves spread outward. The Marines stationed at the harbor instinctively raised their hands before their faces, bent their waists, lowered their centers of gravity, and struggled to keep themselves steady amid the storm.
"Admiral Borsalino!!!"
Kizaru's attack was immensely powerful, and the Marines of Marineford cheered in excitement.
Having such a powerful warrior standing on their side gave the Headquarters Marines tremendous peace of mind.
"So this is the Marines' greatest fighting force..."
