After burying himself in training at Marine Headquarters for several months, then going through several major battles in a row after leaving, Noah had not checked his status panel in quite some time.
Compared to over half a year ago,
all his attributes had improved noticeably. His stamina in particular had risen by a full three points, growing far faster than his other two attributes. Noah could only sigh at the fact that he truly seemed uniquely gifted in that regard.
It was worth mentioning that
among all his combat skills, his hand-to-hand fighting ability had been the first to break through to Master level.
There were no shortcuts for improving that skill. Noah had built it up step by step through hellish training and real combat.
Only after this grueling battle with Kaido had he finally broken free from his cocoon and transformed, reaching the pinnacle of the world.
"I wonder when my Armament Haki and Observation Haki ratings will break through to Master level too."
Noah's eyes flickered as anticipation rose in his heart.
After the Har Island incident, the outside world had gone wild with rumors that he and Kaido had fought to a draw, causing a huge sensation. But in truth, he had been suppressed from beginning to end. If Akainu had not arrived with timely support, he would have certainly lost in the end.
Yet it was precisely because of that battle that he gained a fuller understanding of where his strength currently stood.
With world-class stamina, various damage-reduction passive skills, and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's high-speed teleportation,
he could now face any top-tier powerhouse head-on anywhere in the world and hold his own for a short time.
Even someone as powerful as Whitebeard, the man known as the strongest in the world, would be daydreaming
