A tremendous explosion rang out.
Waves of scorching air surged outward, one after another.
At the center of the explosion.
Sakazuki, his entire body coated in Armament Haki, had his left hand clamped over Gairam's skull.
Beneath his palm, Gairam's eyes had rolled back, and he had already lost consciousness.

A fist-shaped indentation appeared in his chest.
He flew backward hundreds of meters and crashed into
