Conqueror's Haki Contained Within the Straw Hat!

The golden light that had erupted above the Holy Land slowly faded. Saint Garling and Sengoku stood rooted to the spot as they stared at the bottomless ravine before Tsugikuni Yoriichi.

Shanks had vanished without a trace, and his presence had completely disappeared from the Holy Land as well.

Sengoku stared at the scene before him in shock, finding what had just happened utterly absurd.

Shanks was incredibly powerful. Even without Observation Killing, his Conqueror's Haki alone could have caused Sengoku enormous trouble. Yet someone like that had failed to withstand even a single slash from Tsugikuni Yoriichi.

Compared to the last time Sengoku had seen Tsugikuni Yoriichi, Yoriichi's strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

Sengoku found this difficult to comprehend. He had traversed the seas for so many years and seen countless geniuses, but Tsugikuni Yoriichi was the first person he had ever encountered with such unparalleled talent.

No one's growth in strength could be limitless. The limits of the body, the limits of Devil Fruit development, the limits of Haki.

Humans were human precisely because they had limits. There would always be things that no amount of effort could accomplish.

There was always a realm in this world that humans could never reach through hard work alone.

But the shackles of human talent seemed not to exist for Tsugikuni Yoriichi. At least, as far as Sengoku remembered, he had never seen Yoriichi's strength stagnate.

He improved every day. From the day Sengoku had first met him, Tsugikuni Yoriichi had never stopped moving forward.

And now, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's terrifying strength had long surpassed the world's other powerhouses by far too much. He had already reached an entirely different dimension.

Even a powerful pirate like Shanks could not last a single move against Tsugikuni Yoriichi. Sengoku could not imagine
