The battle erupted in a way beyond ordinary human comprehension!
There was no probing, no warm-up.
Facing Gern's brutally unreasonable ability, Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army renowned for his calm, brooding demeanor,
displayed for the first time before the world the terrifying power that had earned him the title of "the world's worst criminal"!
A Special Paramecia user of the Hurricane Devil Fruit, he possessed the ability to control the weather-all forms of wind.
Dragon suddenly swept both arms forward, the cuffs of his dark green coat billowing!
"Wind Hole: Dragon Pierce!"
"Hah!!"
With his low shout, a tunnel more than ten meters in diameter shot out from the bow of the Red Force,
a gray-green vacuum passage composed entirely of ferocious, supremely compressed hurricane winds, instantly tearing through everything ahead!
The air was violently forced aside with an explosive boom!
The sea below split open, seawater churning madly to either side and exposing the dark, unfathomable seabed beneath!
The wind tunnel's speed, concentrated force, and focused destructive power far surpassed any natural storm as it hurtled straight toward the charging Gern!
"Hmm?!" Gern's pupils contracted slightly. He gripped Eight Desolations with both hands and held the blade across his body!
Pale vibration particles surged wildly over the pitch-black blade, forming an invisible shield that vibrated constantly at high frequency!
BOOOOM!!!!!
The enormous gray-green blast of wind slammed into it!
There was no deadlock!
An utterly terrifying impact surged along the blade of Eight Desolations and crashed into Gern like a tsunami!
The speedboat shattered in an instant, and he was hurled backward nearly a hundred meters,
his feet plowing two long trails of boiling steam across the sea!
Even as Dragon Pierce drove Gern back, Dragon's figure had already transformed into a blur of green
