Come Over Here

"Come on, Shanks!"

"I feel stronger than ever right now!" Ryan provocatively declared, his confidence overflowing. He wanted to use this battle to completely transform his Conqueror's Haki and break through to Ultimate.

"Fine!" Shanks tightened his grip on Gryphon. He could tell Ryan intended to use him as a stepping stone, using him as the whetstone for his breakthrough.

If that was the case, what was the harm in giving him a hand? Shanks had absolute confidence in his own strength. Even if Ryan broke through, he still would not be Shanks's opponent.

Still, Shanks was deeply shocked that Ryan could find an opportunity to take his Conqueror's Haki a step further during their battle.

After all, Conqueror's Haki was the most unique of the Three Types of Haki, and it was extremely difficult to improve further.

Conqueror's Haki was intangible and insubstantial. Most people who awakened it for the first time released it unconsciously.

Due to its unique nature, Conqueror's Haki could not be improved or strengthened through training like Observation Haki and Armament Haki. It could only be strengthened when its wielder's own spirit grew stronger.

That was why Shanks had been so shocked as Ryan's Conqueror's Haki steadily grew stronger in battle.

This was an entirely new path!

Of course, Shanks did not let himself be distracted during the fight. He remained fully focused, waiting for Ryan to make his move.

"What's going on?" Shanks looked completely bewildered.

Just as Ryan's momentum reached its peak and he was about to charge in, the aura around him deflated like a punctured balloon!

Shanks: "I've already taken my pants off, and this is what you show me?!"

Ryan, the culprit, was equally dumbfounded. What was going on? Why had it suddenly vanished? That incredible power from just now
