Prometheus's fireballs posed little threat to Rubick, but he had no reason to take them head-on. He swung Sky Scar again and again, effortlessly cleaving them apart.

A column of flame as thick as a truck erupted from Prometheus like a spear. It shot through the swarm of fireballs and struck Rubick dead-on.
Rubick repeated that classic line to himself: Not even a dog would eat the Flame-Flame Fruit!
Prometheus's Divine Fire Thief burned at an incredible temperature. Even Akainu's magma back in the day had been no hotter. Caught off guard, Rubick took the hit directly to his less-protected abdomen.
