Kuta looked down at them. Their eyes were full of awe, and the hatred they had felt toward his crew over Wiper's death was gone.
After all, if he had merely been a man, they would have resented him even if they could never avenge Wiper.
But right now, Kuta did not feel human to them.
For a true god, they felt only awe. They did not dare harbor the slightest grudge.
Kuta lowered his hand and glanced at the Shandia People below, then turned toward Kuina and the others. A trace of helplessness crossed his eyes.
Within his Space Domain, he could stretch the distance between anything or anyone until they seemed close enough to touch yet impossibly far away. But it had no effect on him.
No matter how large he made the space or how far he stretched it, everything remained the same from where he stood.
So even if he wanted to go down and watch with Ahua and the others, he could not.
"Forget it!"
Kuta raised his Wine Gourd and took a swig, then looked down with a soft laugh. "Welcome to the Divine Battlefield. First up, we have Kuina of the Silver Hair Adventure Crew."
"Kuina, you're up."
Robin released Kuina's hand and smiled at her.
"You've got this!"
The Ahua Trio raised their hands to cheer Kuina on.
Within Kuta's domain, they were not worried about Kuina's safety. But her opponent was a man who called himself a god and wielded the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, said to be the strongest Logia. To beat him, Kuina would probably have to give it everything she had!
Kuina smiled, then turned toward the vast, disc-shaped arena ahead. Fierce fighting spirit blazed in her eyes.
She bent her knees and sprang upward.
Boom!
The ground caved in
