Ohara, the coast.
Saul ran desperately, shielding Robin from behind.
With a small part of his head sliced off, his consciousness was already growing hazy.
Suddenly, Kuzan's voice sounded behind him:
"Ice Block: Partisan."
Two spears of ice shot toward him, whistling through the air.
Relying on his Observation Haki, Saul forcibly twisted his body and dodged the ice spears.
But he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Crack-
A bolt of lightning struck in front of Saul. Enel took form, cutting off his escape route.
Enel glanced at the young Robin, then looked coldly at Saul.
Wearing a black trench coat, Kuzan landed behind Saul, cold vapor rising from his body.
Saul could hardly believe his eyes:
"Kuzan..."
Kuzan remained expressionless:
"Well, well."
"If a former Marine stopped a Buster Call, we'd be a laughingstock."
Saul pushed himself up and said in a low voice:
"Kuzan, are you proud of this attack?!"
"You've got it all backward!!!"
"You should know that too!"
"This whole thing is about making an example of them!!!"
"The government is willing to erase all of Ohara for that!"
"Ohara is a scapegoat!"
Kuzan's sunglasses concealed his expression:
"If it's for the sake of the entire world, then there's nothing we can do."
"Besides, these scholars did break the law."
"Justice changes form depending on where you stand."
"I don't intend to condemn your justice, either."
"But..."
"If you stand in our way..."
"I can't just sit back and watch."
Boom-!!!!
The evacuation ship out at sea instantly exploded into a massive fireball.
All four on the coast whipped their heads around toward the evacuation ship.
Shock appeared on Enel's, Saul's, and Kuzan's faces.
Robin's face was filled with terror. This scene would likely haunt her nightmares for the rest of her life...
