Bab 48: Three Hundred Million Volts, The Bottleneck
When arriving at the area where Amigasa Village is located, Kahn and his group didn't enter the village; instead, like Shinobu, they temporarily lived in a bamboo forest that can be seen everywhere in the Kuri region.
Mary can transform into a castle tank, allowing them to enter the castle whenever they want to rest.
On the way, Kahn also informed Robin and the three sisters that there might be a top-tier Devil Fruit hidden in the Kuri area.
Robin and the three sisters weren't surprised by Kahn's knowledge. Even in Wanokuni, which is isolated from the outside world, there is a Paramecia-type ability user who understands that Kahn's Observation Haki must be incredible and always active.
Moreover, Kahn often uses his Observation Haki to eavesdrop on various conversations in crowded places, collecting information that might benefit him or be useful in the future.
Hancock, still young and physically fit but unable to use her Observation Haki like Kahn, made a decision in her heart. Once she is fully accustomed to her new body, she will also turn on her unique perception 24/7, using it to gather useful information from conversations.
Little did they know, Kahn's vast knowledge wasn't from eavesdropping and reading minds but because of his advantages as a time traveller.
After choosing the bamboo forest as a temporary residence, Kahn and his group went to an open space near the sea and started working on their own tasks.
Mary took out a gorgeous one-seater sofa from the castle, and Kahn sat on it, closed his eyes, and released his Observation Haki to its fullest, focusing on finding the Paramecia-type Millet-Millet Fruit.
Meanwhile, Robin and her daughters were getting used to their eighteen-year-old bodies. Transitioning from petite dwarfs to tall, long-legged forms, the four Robin girls, who haven't mastered Life Return yet, needed time to fully control their new bodies and reach their full potential.
During this process, Hancock displays strength that leaves Robin and the two sisters speechless, even making Kahn open his eyes in surprise.
Zizizi...
At this moment, Hancock was surrounded by blue and white electric light. Especially on her small hand, the electric snakes were thicker and more intense than the lightning surrounding her body. The air around Hancock's hand even seemed to ripple, indicating the amazing electric heat emanating from her.
Those electric snakes were high-voltage electricity.
"One hundred million volts... one hundred and twenty million volts... one hundred and fifty million volts..."
Hancock constantly consumed physical energy, transforming it into lightning and electric heat, forming high-voltage electricity that soared at a rate of tens of millions of volts per second.
Previously, the current generated by physical energy conversion never exceeded 100 million volts. Now, the electricity produced by Hancock started at 100 million volts and approached 200 million volts within seconds.
"Two hundred million volts... two hundred and ten million volts... two hundred and twenty million volts..."
Within a dozen seconds, the voltage in Hancock's hand surpassed the 200 million volts that Enel, at thirty-seven years old, was known for, and it continued to rise.
However, after breaking through 200 million volts, Hancock's smooth forehead and beautiful cheeks began to sweat, indicating her strain.
At 100 million volts, Hancock could increase the voltage by 10 million volts per second. But now, raising the voltage by 10 million volts took over ten seconds.
"Two hundred and eighty million volts... two hundred and ninety million volts... three hundred million volts!"
Two minutes later, Hancock still managed to push her voltage to another level, reaching 300 million volts.
Even though this was 100 million volts more than Enel's maximum of 200 million, the electricity in Hancock's hand remained blue and white. While 300 million volts might sound terrifying, natural lightning ranges from 100 million to one billion volts.
As the most powerful Logia-type Rumble Fruit user, the voltage Enel could produce naturally should be higher than 200 million volts. However, Enel's maximum was limited to 200 million because he ate the Rumble Fruit too late and had a weak constitution. Over the past two decades, being bullied has hindered his development. Even at his peak at 37, Enel's physique couldn't match Luffy's pre-Second Gear strength.
Despite having Observation Haki, Enel couldn't awaken another Haki by the age of thirty-seven.
Hancock, on the other hand, was different. Though she appeared ordinary, she was a genius who mastered two types of Haki by the age of twelve, indicating her physique was far from average.
In the theatrical version, Hancock's physical prowess is so strong that, when using Armament Haki, she can break a mountain with a single kick. It's similar to Rayleigh, who, despite being an "ordinary person," could still swim from Sabaody Archipelago to Amazon Lily at the age of 78.
Hancock is also such an "ordinary person," with physical abilities far superior to Enel's. This is evident from the fact that she could produce tens of millions of volts at the age of twelve.
However, at eighteen, Hancock, who could raise her voltage to 300 million volts, was not satisfied. She had a vague feeling that breaking through another stage would bring a huge qualitative change. But even if Hancock converted all her physical energy into lightning, only the current amount and coverage area increased. The voltage remained stuck at 300 million volts.
Seeing Hancock's inner thoughts, as well as her regrets and unwillingness through his Observation Haki, Kahn's ruby-like eyes were thoughtful. He might have a way to help Hancock break through this bottleneck. In fact, he had more than one way.
