The air twisted, trembled, and rippled.
As the Conqueror's Haki of two world-class legends collided, interlacing bolts of lightning crackled through the air, dazzling everyone watching.
A heavy, solemn, suffocating pressure weighed on everyone's hearts, leaving them intensely nervous.

"The clash between those two!"
Standing on the Execution Platform, Sengoku looked down, his eyes already grave.
