The enormous stone sphere plunged into the sea, throwing up a ring-shaped wave hundreds of meters high. The towering seawater swept outward like a tsunami.
That still was not enough. To ensure nothing could go wrong, Dawn manipulated vast, boundless waves of gravity, pressing them down upon the stone sphere sinking into the sea.
It was as though the invisible hand of an adult giant had slammed down from above, forcing the stone sphere straight toward the ten-thousand-meter-deep ocean floor until it vanished completely into the dark seabed.
"This should have taken care of him, right?"
"Any Devil Fruit user should be afraid of seawater! This is in the bag!"
Inside the Door-Door Fruit's Subspace, everyone finally let out a breath of relief. Their taut nerves instantly relaxed as they talked over one another. The worry and tension faded from their faces, replaced by barely concealed delight.
In everyone's understanding, no matter how strange an ability was, it could ultimately be attributed to a Devil Fruit. And seawater was the natural enemy of all Devil Fruit users. That was common knowledge etched into everyone's bones.
Outside, Dawn remained on the highest alert. His ragged breathing gradually steadied, and his top-tier Observation Haki spread toward the seafloor like a tide, trying to sense Imu's unique Haki.
The next moment, his expression changed abruptly, and he sharply turned his head!
At the bottom of the enormous crater beneath his feet, five strange and profound pentagram magic circles, each marked with a number, instantly appeared across the shattered ground. Wisps of black smoke continuously poured from the circles and drifted into the air, as though they connected directly to the heavens.
The dense, pitch-black smoke twisted endlessly. From afar, it resembled bolts of bizarre and unfathomable black lightning.
**Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
