"So strong!" Onigumo's face was full of astonishment as he secretly marveled, his expression becoming graver than ever before.
Originally, he had always thought that no matter how formidable Vergo was, he could at most be slightly stronger than himself. Compared to those Admirals whose Might-Shaker reputation spread across the Four Seas and inspired terror at their very mention, however, Vergo was surely still far behind!
