Was Pantos weak?
Of course not. As a titled Legendary, he ranked among the stronger Legendaries.
And [Destroyer] was an exceptionally powerful class.
This class had only one ability from beginning to end. All its abilities from the first through the Fourth Tier were prerequisites for the Authority of Annihilation.
Specialization meant power!
The Authority of Annihilation was an extraordinarily powerful force, whether used for offense or defense.

So Pantos certainly was not weak.
He could even rank in the top five among the eleven Legendaries present!

This was mainly because Conqueror's Color Haki was rooted in the Will Attribute.
And after reaching Legendary, the strength of a Legendary also depended primarily on the Will Attribute.

it was his Conqueror's Color Coating that consumed more energy.
Fortunately, Dunn was a physical-side Classholder, and his recovery was fast enough.
However, once Dunn mastered using Armament Haki and Conqueror's Color Coating simultaneously,
that situation changed completely.
Conqueror's Color Coating resisted and entangled the
