A vast expanse of Chakra descended like rolling waves, engulfing the tens of thousands of pirates of the Blackbeard Pirates first.
Hikaru had never attempted an illusion over such a vast area, nor had he ever tried to control so many people. But in order to precisely target every pirate's consciousness, he used even greater power than when he had saved people in Dressrosa. His perception precisely and delicately locked onto every pirate.
