"If you really forge a pair of black blade Enma fists, the Rokushiki masters of the future will probably find themselves in trouble, led in circles by you."
"If you didn't have that extraordinary physique and a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit on top of it, your whole body would have been cut in half in this short time alone."
"If they imitate you, each will die more horribly than the last!"
It wasn't as though Golden Lion had never seen powerful fighters with monstrously tough physiques.
Among the pirates, Linlin and Kaido both practiced sword techniques, following the path of a swordsman.
Their attacks still relied primarily on weapons.
There were two unusual cases in the Navy, too: Sengoku and Kong.
Those two used Haki to train their Rokushiki while also enjoying the enhancements of their Zoan powers.
But forging the Enma Black Fists Shane wanted was nothing short of a pipe dream.
"I never said future generations could follow my path."
"Unless they also have my physique and my abilities. In fact, I am already a weapon."
"What's wrong with refining a weapon into a black blade?"
Shane pushed his speed to the limit, meeting Golden Lion's gaze.
"How long can you maintain your current form? I can still control the flying Seastone spears until I've punched hundreds of holes through you!"
Shiki held a sword in each hand. He had never considered forging a black blade in his life.

When he came to Wano Country and saw that Kozuki Oden wanted to forge black blades at such a young age, with one of them even being a cursed blade that killed its master-
Even Golden Lion had been somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Kozuki Oden's strength to actually break through during their fight, either!
