Dialga's divine might commanded the field; a father and daughter's secret signal set their reunion!

Kizaru's fingers twitched slightly as the Glint-Glint Fruit's power raced through his body. Yet his supreme Observation Haki screamed a warning. He could clearly sense that if he dared make the slightest move, the man before him could immobilize him completely with the power of time the instant he attacked.

Time manipulation was one of the most absurdly powerful abilities. Even the light speed granted by his Glint-Glint Fruit meant nothing before absolute temporal stasis.

Those words
