"Roar!"
A tiger's roar shook the air. The Purple-Red tiger roared and leaped, reaching the first island ahead in an instant.
Then it raised its head, opened its jaws with a roar, and slammed into it.
Boom!
An enormous shock wave radiated outward. The island hurtling forward at tremendous speed came to a halt, and rings of ripples swept rapidly across it.
