Boom—!!!
A golden shockwave descended from the sky.
The entire harbor looked as if it had been struck head-on by an invisible giant palm.
The ground suddenly sank, and huge stretches of stone paving shattered at once. Rubble, wooden crates, and broken walls were instantly blasted into the air.
"Damn it!"
Teach's expression changed dramatically.
No matter how arrogant he was, he was not arrogant enough to grab Hancock with one hand and hold S-Snake with the other while taking a blow from Buddha Sengoku head-on.

She abruptly looked up.
Clearly, that palm
