Oak knew very well that outfitting Shiki with non-original legs was unrealistic. Shiki could now mobilize Haki; leaving aside whether Trafalgar Law's Op-Op Fruit could still work on him, even if it did, the moment Shiki exerted even slightly stronger Haki afterward, those legs would still snap. Law's power could not possibly surpass Shiki's Haki.
And yet...
Oak glanced down at the severed legs of Shiki, who was floating mid-air.
In truth, having legs or not was not all that important to Shiki. Ever since meeting him, Oak had rarely seen the guy use his legs, as he always floated in mid-air just like now.
Let's fit him with a pair of prosthetic limbs!
Oak said to Law.
If they could not give Shiki a pair of legs, they would use prosthetics.
The two master swords that had previously served as his prosthetic limbs had been haphazardly slapped together by Shiki himself, and his craftsmanship was as crude as it could get. Not only had they failed to help Shiki, but they had also inflicted continuous damage on his body instead. However, having Law, a professional surgeon, attach them would be a different story entirely; prosthetics would surely perform much better than the two master swords without causing any harm.
Oak's gaze swept up and down over Shiki, and his Observation Haki swept out along with his line of sight.
At this moment, as Shiki was once again able to channel his Haki, his presence under Oak's scan was no longer as feeble as before, having recovered to the level of a top-tier powerhouse. Yet it was merely the entry threshold of a top-tier powerhouse, roughly on par with Benn Beckman, whom he had crushed to a pulp at Sabaody Archipelago, or perhaps even slightly weaker. It fell far short
