The air sizzles, and the crowd gasps in awe. Mihawk, unfazed, gracefully shifts his stance, the SHIING of his trusty sword Yoru glinting ominously.

Wielding Yoru with deadly precision, he meets the first meteor with a stunning display of strength—CLANG!—sending the molten fragment spiraling harmlessly away. With unparalleled grace, he twirls, using the backdraft to launch toward Akainu, Yoru gleaming with intent.

Akainu stands tall, magma shimmering at his command, embracing the relentless flames of triumph.
