"Is that... Whitebeard and Golden Lion's presence?"
Far away over a stretch of sea, Rono was flying through the air when he keenly sensed energy fluctuations coming from the distance.
Ever since becoming a Demigod-level powerhouse, Rono's strength had reached an entirely different level.
The range of his Observation Haki could span hundreds, even thousands of nautical miles.

Whoosh! Roar! Rumble!
The instant the Great Bisento struck Lion's Might, a powerful
