Who Does It Count For?

The sky outside was dark and overcast, and the air grew increasingly heavy.

Dark clouds blotted out the sun as they gathered together, forming something like a massive vortex.

Everyone looked up at the sky, dumbstruck as cold sweat streamed down their faces.

"Gulp."

Their throats bobbed involuntarily as they nervously swallowed.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is fake, right?"

"M-Magma is falling from the sky?"

"Isn't this a little too outrageous?!"

"Magma that huge is practically like a meteor. If it hits someone, wouldn't they be blasted into pieces?"

"Blasted into pieces? You're overthinking it! Magma is that hot and that fast. Once someone gets hit, they'd probably melt on the spot, without even ashes left behind!"

"As expected, he's as strong as a monster!"

To be in the same class as monsters like them was simply tragic.

Compete? Compete my ass!

At the same time, Sakazuki shouted coldly, "Meteor Volcano!"

Borsalino had never expected Sakazuki to develop the Magma-Magma Fruit to such an extent. It was far beyond his expectations.

He had thought first
