Thunder's Recognition

The training ground had been completely transformed into a disaster zone.

The underground magma Sakazuki had detonated and the light bullets Borsalino had rained down crashed down at the same time—

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!"

The chain of explosions erupted like a cluster of volcanoes going out of control.

Garp did not even move his feet.

He casually raised a hand, as if swatting a mosquito, too lazy even to coat it in Armament Haki.

The smoke was swept away, and the air currents
