Byrnndi World raised his right hand and took an iron ball from his belt. He weighed it in his palm, then closed his fingers around it.
"More-More: Fiftyfold."
The iron ball swelled in his hand.
He drew his arm back and hurled it.
The ball tore through the wind toward Ark Maxim.
Just then, a streak of white Sword Qi flew from the ship.
The iron ball split in two.
Byrnndi World froze.
His gaze shifted from Ark Maxim to Kuina.
She was a girl in her early teens, holding a gray sword. The force of her slash still lingered along its edge.
"A Supreme Great Swordsman?"
Byrnndi World's brow furrowed.
A twelve-year-old Supreme Great Swordsman.
No one in the New World would believe it.
"Little girl."
Byrnndi World narrowed his eyes, his voice tinged with doubt.
"How old are you?"
Kuina did not answer.
She gripped her sword and watched him, waiting for his next move.
Naruto sat watching the man using Geppo in midair. A smile slowly spread across his face.

He wanted that fruit.
Naruto took a step forward.

World's pupils contracted.
He had been using Observation Haki to track the presences aboard Ark Maxim. But for an instant, Naruto's presence had vanished entirely from his senses, only to appear out of nowhere right in front of him.
"You..."
Byrnndi World did not get to finish.
Naruto's fist was already there.
