Under Chihane's keen Observation Haki, every attack Chiriku launched seemed feeble. None could even touch him.
No matter how hard Chiriku tried, he could only play lumberjack, destroying trees large and small throughout the forest without touching a hair on Chihane's head.
Still, with that logging speed, if he were in a world with two bears, someone would surely chase him down and beg to become his disciple.

With that, Chiriku planted his feet in a staggered horse stance. His hands formed delicate finger
