In an instant, a solemn and substantial domineering spirit of the strongest Conqueror burst forth from Shanks and rushed straight at Marco!
This was an all-out strike!
The Conqueror's Haki was like a flash flood, like a tsunami, surging towards Marco!
Not to be outdone, Marco also unleashed his strongest Conqueror Haki, more powerful, stronger, and more domineering than before!
Boom~~!
When the two top-level Conqueror Haki clashed, the roar sounded like a thunderstorm!
It set off an astonishing invisible storm!
Inside the huge tavern, countless dense cracks instantly opened on the ground!
Almost simultaneously, the tall tavern building, with its heavy walls, also began to crack. The cracks spread, even reaching the roof of the building, revealing the sky!
It seemed like lightning was sliding from the sky—terrifying!
It was as if the "space" of this tavern was divided in two.
One half was under Marco's "control."
The other half was under Shanks' "control."
It was as if each of them occupied half of the tavern's "space realm," using the half they occupied to continually collide, contend, and erupt into a powerful storm!
This storm was incredibly fierce, causing real damage wherever it swept through!
"He hadn't gone all out before?"
Shanks was slightly surprised. He thought that when Marco first arrived, the Conqueror Haki he unleashed was already his full power.
But under this clash of Conqueror Haki, Shanks was astonished to find that Marco's Haki was now much stronger than before.
This was clear proof that Marco had not been going all out earlier.
"Unexpectedly, Marco's Conqueror Haki has grown so powerful!"
Lucky Roux was shocked to his core, the barbecue leg in his hand fell to the ground, and his small sunglasses nearly slipped off in surprise!
Not just him, even Ben Beckman and others were stunned.
The Conqueror Haki that Marco now displayed had far surpassed theirs and was directly challenging Shanks!
After all, they were the top commanders of the Four Emperors' Pirate Crew!
Especially Ben Beckman, as the vice-captain of the Four Emperors Pirates, who was strong and domineering enough to defeat countless pirates in the New World!
"However, in this clash, the captain still holds the advantage."
Ben Beckman and the others knew in their hearts that while the battle seemed like an evenly matched showdown, Shanks' Conqueror Haki still held the upper hand.
Just as they said:
The half of the "realm" that Shanks "controlled" was faintly expanding, forcibly "pressing" against Marco!
Everyone present understood that this seemingly calm clash of Conqueror Haki was, in reality, incredibly perilous!
If one side couldn't resist, they would be completely crushed by the other in an absolutely overwhelming manner, even fainting on the spot and sustaining real damage!
Such damage, even Marco's Immortal Phoenix abilities couldn't heal!
While the Red Hair Pirates were all stunned, Marco received a prompt from the system:
"Ding!"
"The host competes with a top-level Conqueror Haki powerhouse, and amidst this life-threatening situation, the Conqueror Haki power has greatly increased! Please improve yourself!"
"Elevate, Conqueror's Haki!"
Marco did not hesitate and chose to improve on the spot!
Like the two abilities of Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki, Marco always chose to enhance himself on the spot to gain room for improvement, as he had done before.
He felt an immense surge of primal power born within his body, as if his Conqueror's Haki was constantly intensifying, growing thicker, more domineering, and more majestic!
Trample!!
Marco took a few steps forward, carrying the force of a commanding Conqueror's Haki, and unleashed a punch!
Boom~~!
An even stronger Conqueror's Haki erupted from Marco's fist!
Like a volcanic eruption, it was more powerful, domineering, majestic, and limitless than before!
Almost simultaneously, Shanks raised his hand and delivered a punch aimed directly at Marco!
Crack!
At the moment their fists collided, an extremely intense dark purple aura manifested in the air, centered on their fists, spiraling and continually bursting forth!
Under this astonishing dark purple energy, it seemed like the entire space was on the verge of being torn apart and shattered!
Boom~~!
An even more shocking storm swept out, blowing the roof off the tall tavern building and scattering countless chunks of debris!
Crack~~!
On the incredibly thick walls, countless cracks appeared one after another, spreading at an incomparably rapid pace like lightning—utterly amazing!
Even the marble floor beneath their feet began to fracture with one shocking crack after another, continuously spreading in all directions!
At this moment—
Shanks' expression suddenly changed.
"Still holding back just now?!"
Shanks was stunned to find that Marco's Conqueror's Haki was even stronger than it had been during their previous clashes, and its intensity was astonishing!
And it wasn't just Shanks who was caught off guard.
The likes of Lucky Roux and Ben Beckman were utterly shocked!
As the highest-ranking commanders of the Four Emperors Pirate Crew, they had witnessed all manner of storms and challenges, and there were very few things that could shake their resolve. But right now, the Conqueror's Haki displayed by Marco was one of those rare occurrences!
They had believed that Shanks had the absolute advantage!
Yet now…
They were shocked to realize that Marco had been holding back earlier!
The revelation left these top commanders of the Red Hair Pirates astounded. When had Marco's Conqueror's Haki advanced to such an incredible realm?!
While everyone was reeling in shock,
Once again, Marco received a system notification:
"Ding!"
"In this thrilling battle between the host and a top-level Conqueror Haki user, through the system's assistance mechanism, you have gained room for Conqueror's Haki improvement! Please elevate yourself!"
"Elevate!"
