Zephyr stared at Barn with resentment, his hideously twisted face making him all the more chilling.
Barn frowned as he thought.
Did fusing with my shadow let him master Conqueror's Haki...?
At Zephyr's words, Barn shouted back.

A massive white slash flashing with lightning appeared out of thin air, carrying an incomparably fierce blade
