For a moment the world seemed to stop.
The three humans, the two tamed monsters, the tens of titan-class monsters - even the mist itself - became completely still.
They all just stood there, stunned out of their mind.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*
Then the sound of an enormous explosion resounded thorough the area, followed by a shockwave that stirred the mist as it blew past all the beings still unable to grasp the situation.
That attack, that beam - it was pure insanity, it was nothing like all the previous golden beams that killed so many Sloth soldiers in the past days.
It was far, far stronger, far more horrifying... and the destruction that they've brought couldn't even be compared.
"...it's over..."
Shanks's weak gasp was perfectly audible in the heavy silence that befell the area.
The rat-faced man himself almost fell off the blue griffin slowly descending towards the earth.
