Zephyr sent Rayleigh flying with another punch, then turned and took down another man. Just then, a furious roar came from his flank.
"Fish-Man Karate Secret Art: Buraikan!"
Sambel the Fish-Man leaped out of the sea, a sphere of water gathered in his hand as he glared ferociously at Zephyr.
Then he closed in and thrust his palm forward, aiming to blast Zephyr.
