They staked their lives against each other!
Both treasured every chance to hone their strength, hoping the other would grow stronger and withstand more attacks so they could master even stronger Haki!
But in the end, there had to be a winner and a loser!
A new generation raced ahead, while their predecessors had already reached the finish line.
If a ceiling existed in a world of extraordinary powers, that would surely be a tragedy.
Those powerhouses standing at the summit could only watch time pass and their own condition decline.
Meanwhile, the younger generation grew stronger with astonishing talent, gradually climbing to the summit to challenge them!
Only in a world without a ceiling could the strongest keep forging ahead, leaving those who came after to pursue them in despair.
Shane had distinguished himself in this era, successfully reaching a stronger realm that no one else had attained.
And so he had shattered the ceiling!
For Roger, Rayleigh, and Whitebeard, that was a blessing!
They still had a path ahead!
Shing!
Roger unleashed a slash with thirty percent Pure Black Blade King's Haki, a hint of joy entering his eyes.
His Listening to All Things had also grown more proficient after its breakthrough and awakening.
Throughout the battle, he attacked Shane constantly on both the physical and spiritual levels.
If anyone dared approach their battlefield, they would probably lose their mind before their head could even be cut off!
Yet Shane's fists were already displaying sixty percent!
Both men's talents were astonishing.
Roger had gone from attempting it to mastering it, creating something from nothing and reaching thirty percent. Even among kings, he was one in ten thousand.
Shane had gone from ten percent to sixty percent, his rate of growth crushing even Roger's. He was utterly inhuman!
