It's not over yet!

The aftershock of the slash exploded across the sky.

Dark-gold demonic aura shattered the black crystal armor.

The last of its momentum was completely spent.

Zoro lost the force keeping him aloft.

Furious gravity seized him in an instant.

Like an out-of-control meteor, he plummeted toward the shattered ice field below.

The wind howled shrill and mournful.

The freezing air turned into sharp surgical blades, mercilessly scraping across his cold cheeks.

The sensation of weightlessness savagely tugged at his exhausted organs.

The ice surface below had long since become unrecognizable.

Pitch-black deep pits interwove with towering ice spikes.

Shattered rock formations formed deadly traps.

His falling speed grew faster and faster.
