"First, even Mom's Armament Haki couldn't completely offset the extreme heat produced by pure oxygen combustion. In other words, no one in this world could use Armament Haki to defend against their combined technique. And even better, the effect of pure oxygen combustion exceeded my expectations. I could even say that as long as something can burn, this move will ignite it at a touch. And once it catches fire, it'll burn completely to ashes, utterly wiped out!"

Considering that most of this world's strong fighters relied on evasive fighting styles, this seemingly inconspicuous improvement was just as significant.
