The sea breeze carried a salty tang.
On Soufrabi's beach.
The pressure was so heavy it was hard to breathe.
Razor stood there.
The fourteen devil Nen beasts behind him radiated unsettling power.
Fine beads of sweat formed on Gon's and Killua's foreheads.
But Luo Ye rubbed his hands together excitedly.
He said he would stand still and take every ball.
