Boom!
The shockwave from Bullet's punch was still spreading, sending broken stone flying through the scorching air.
An eerie pause fell over the entire battlefield of God's Knights.
The arrow ribbons circling beneath Gunko's feet slowed for a beat. Shamrock's face darkened completely, and the remaining members of God's Knights instinctively turned to stare at the rubble.
Saint Green's gaze was fixed there too. The burns on his face still smoked, but even that pain could not overcome the chill in his heart.

Now even a senior member of God's Knights lay dead on this long avenue.
Saint Green's fingers tightened around his sword. Black-and-red lightning from his Conqueror's Haki raced along the blade, crackling sharply.

The ground beneath them could not bear the force and collapsed.
Boom!
Scalding magma burst from beneath their
