Banagher smashed the button, and the Unicorn launched its payload. The First Responder flew like a whale; that is to say, terribly. It was a miracle and a testament to the Unicorn’s computing power that it was still in one piece at all. The hunk of wood reached its peak, and started its descent.

The Unicorn had predicted true. The First Responder was on target to crush the Sparda. There was no way Vergil’s Devil Fruit could stop a falling boat that weighed…

Banagher checked his display. Ten tons.

There was no way Vergil’s Devil Fruit could stop a falling boat that weighed ten tons. Once again, Banagher’s calculations bore fruit. But it was bad fruit, like a mushy blueberry or a bruised apple, or a pear. Vergil didn’t try to stop the boat. The optic feed zoomed in on the Marine captain.

He was using sheets of metal as steps to climb above his boat. He had his scabbard at his side, and then--! The First Responder split in two. The camera feed hadn’t picked up when Yamato left its sheath. Both halves of the thrown ship split off, missing the Sparda.

Vergil smiled coyly.
