"Attack! Resist it with Haki! Or blow yourselves up! We cannot let that bastard Shane keep using this power. If we can't stay rational for even a short time, we'll be in grave danger!"
Saint Nusjuro roared, but even with three times his Haki, he could only protect himself. He could not rescue the other two Elders.
At first, they had been considering which of the two to choose so that four Elders could fuse. Now even that had become a distant hope.
