So... so dazzling!
"What is that?!"
A golden flash instantly shot into the sky, and Kizaru appeared overhead.
"Yasakani no Magatama!"
Countless lasers descended like a curtain of rain, engulfing Whitebeard. Yet Whitebeard stood calmly at the bow of the Moby Dick, leaning on Murakumogiri without moving.
"Hey, hey, why's it so dazzling?"
As the world's strongest man spoke, a figure flapping blue-flamed wings shot into the sky at high speed, meeting the dense golden lasers head-on.
