After the endless lasers swallowed Sakazuki's figure,
the falling lump of magma swelled and churned wildly, taking human form.
Sakazuki reappeared.
Ignoring Charlotte Linlin for the moment, he activated his power to detonate the spearhead inside Whitebeard.
The spearhead did not explode. Instead, it acted like a rocket engine.
