Clang!

The pitch-black blade collided viciously with the Tyrannosaur's fangs, sparks flying everywhere as the shrill scrape of metal made everyone's eardrums ache.

The instant he re-formed, countless pale silver particles gathered rapidly at his fingertips, becoming millions of hair-thin silver needles. Wrapped in Armament Haki, they swept toward Page One like a torrential downpour.
