Talking about Shanks, remember when he was walking in Whitebeard’s ship, the absolute bottom tier fodder, in Marine World probably comparable in strength to a random foot soldier who just got recruited, were passing out in Shanks’ presence.
Rare Admiral and Lower Rank means your head explodes in Saturn’s presence, looking at him in the eye means you die in his presence.
This is much more impactful aura flex than whatever Shanks did in Whitebeard’s ship as a matter of fact the most impactful and menacing there is in One Piece and clearly aura in One Piece generally is Conqueror’s Haki.
Which there is Conqueror’s Haki emenating all over Saturn, from the circle he appeared from, around his demonic aura, behind him. He isn’t launching Advanced Conqueror’s Haki like Shanks did against Green Bull, it is simply his aura emanating.
I am still not sure it is a devil fruit, we might be on the verge of seeing the highest level of Conqueror’s Haki and a form created simply from Haki. That black aura doesn’t seem like it’s Awakening neither does that circle but maybe it is.. that remains to be seen. But I am almost certain Conqueror’s Haki we will see from Imu and Gorosei are above anything we’d see from Roger or Shanks or Rayleigh or who ever else.
If Conqueror’s Haki literally represent the concept of ruling over others, then no one has done it on bigger scale than Imu and Gorosei who have been ruling the entire world for centuries, the world that has Yonko and Admirals living in it, where we had a Pirate King, Rocks D. Xebec, Sword God Ryuma, Strongest Swordman in the world, Strongest Man the world, Strongest Creature, Hero of Marines you name it, that world has been ruled for not decades but centuries by these 6 entities.
So their Conqueror’s Haki should also be at the very top of the world, in history, maybe behind likes of Joy Boy and Ryuma who we know nothing about yet so it’s not even worth talking about. Of course what Imu will show in terms of Conqueror’s Haki will be even greater than what we will see from Gorosei but Gorosei will surpass what we have seen from Shanks, Roger Rayleigh etc.
And if Gorosei have the strongest Conqueror’s Haki behind Imu, they should be the strongest fighters behind Imu as this is what we know about Haki.
Anyways what I am trying to say is Gorosei will represent whole different level of power, power than we have not seen before, power beyond Kaido, beyond Akainu, beyond Shanks, beyond even Roger and Whitebeard. Gorosei are just above them.
