As Garp swung a punch down at Oak from above, Shanks and Rayleigh each slashed at his legs from below. From behind—
"Buddha Shockwave~"
A palm from Sengoku's enormous Golden Buddha form, carrying a shockwave, slammed toward Oak's back. At some point, frost had silently crept onto Oak's shoulder, freezing half his body.
