Thousands of meters up in the sky.
Boom, boom-
Explosions rang out continuously as their attacks collided.
A trace of madness crept into Weevil's vacant expression.
"Damned bug!"
"Where am I?! Where's Mom?!!!"
"Aaaaaah!!!"
He raised his naginata high and swung it down at Sote.
Humm-
After what seemed like a slight delay, a massive slash erupted, tearing through everything ahead as it hurtled toward Sote.
Sote raised his hand and waved.
Countless fragments of the warship gathered and reassembled.
They formed a composite fist several meters tall, and he placed his hand on it.
Dense Armament Haki instantly coated it, turning it pitch-black.
He smashed it forward. Like a rocket, the enormous black fist hurtled toward the slash, trailing a blast of air.
Boom-!!!
A mushroom cloud rose.
Under the tremendous force of the explosion, the warship shattered completely.
With nowhere left to stand, Weevil began plummeting.
The warship's fragments reassembled into an enormous arrow. Coated in Haki, it shot toward Weevil like a black meteor.
Veins bulged on Weevil's arms as he swung his blade at the enormous arrow.
A thunderous crack exploded across the sky.
Even coated in Armament Haki, the enormous arrow made from the warship's fragments showed signs of breaking apart.
But Weevil's descent accelerated several times over as the enormous arrow drove him downward.
Meanwhile, Sote had somehow appeared farther below.
Pitch-black, flowing Armament Haki coated his arm as he narrowed his eyes at Weevil, who was hurtling down toward him.
He lined up his target, and the muscles in his right arm swelled.
He aimed at Weevil's lower spine and drove his fist into it!
Crack-
With that sharp crack, Sote could clearly feel Weevil's lower spine break, but the damage was nowhere near as severe as it should have been.
Because...
