The moment the two sailing ships came alongside each other, Vice Admiral Deep Sea let out a roar from beneath his black face covering. He leaped high into the air, clearly intending to force his way aboard the Explorer.
"Get down!" Sifa sprang up to meet him. Flames erupted beneath his feet, carrying him above Constantine. Lightning danced along the Calamity Spear in his hand as he brought it down in a savage cleave.
In midair, Constantine could not change his position. He could only raise his saber horizontally to block.
The lightning-forged spear shaft struck his saber. Streaks of silver serpents darted down and slithered across Constantine's body, numbing him all over and stiffening his injured muscles.
At that moment, thunder rumbled in the sky, and silvery-white lightning crashed down!
Constantine's pupils had only enough time to contract before the lightning struck him. He was blasted back and slammed heavily onto the deck of his flagship.
His tricorn hat was shattered by the lightning. Beneath it, his nearly black-blue hair had been curled backward in thick locks, smoke rising from it.
Constantine himself convulsed on the deck. Only after Sifa landed did he barely manage to climb back up and raise his saber to attack, but the numbness in his limbs made his movements falter.
Sifa was already charging toward him. He raised his left hand and clenched it into a fist. Crimson flames howled together, forming a massive fist that Sifa drove viciously into Constantine.
Great Fire Fist!
With a violent explosion, waves of flame spread in every direction, igniting the sails and setting scattered debris ablaze. Constantine's flagship caught fire everywhere.
Constantine himself was blasted away, rolling repeatedly as he smashed through wooden crates and barrels before crashing into the cabin, punching out a huge, irregular hole.
