Chapter 22: What Happens When You Fight Against The Son Of Destiny
Rumbling...
On the vast White Sea, in the cloudless sky, a sudden thunderbolt echoed, audible even to the residents of Birka Island not far away.
However, when the residents of Birka Island looked up, the sky remained sunny without a single dark cloud.
It was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, almost like an auditory hallucination.
But it wasn't an auditory hallucination.
If someone were on the coast of the southern area of Birka Island at this time, they would see a blue and white light appearing out of thin air above the sea, forming a huge light cluster.
On the surface of this blue and white light group, numerous electric arcs of varying sizes and thicknesses were constantly crackling.
If you looked closely, you would see that this blue and white light group was formed by lightning.
The thunder just now was the sound effect produced when the blue light group turned into a huge blue-white beam of light and blasted towards the pure white sea.
Boom--!
Under the deafening thunder, the beam of light blasted a huge hole in the endless White Sea.
This hole was large enough for a 100-meter-long medium-sized sailboat to pass through smoothly.
After the huge hole appeared, a blue and white medium-sized two-masted sailing ship defied gravity and fell, passing through the hole and landing in the White Sea at an altitude of 7,000 meters.
This sailing ship is Kahn's Ship.
The blue-white beam of light just now is Hancock's masterpiece, which is also Enel's best move in the original story - God's Judgment.
"What terrifying destructive power? Is this the power of a Logia?"
Looking up at the huge hole in the sky, both Sonia and Mary were amazed.
Robin, as if recalling something, said with a slight haze in her beautiful eyes, "It's normal because Hancock's Logia Rumble Fruit is one of the top natural elements, no less than the three most famous monsters in Marine Headquarters now, even more comprehensive than their Logia abilities."
"Exactly."
Kahn nodded and echoed, "The reason why the Logia Rumble Fruit is called the legendary and invincible ability in various popular science books is because of its comprehensiveness. It's incomparable."
"Logia Rumble Fruit has four basic abilities: electric heat, electric wave, electric field, and electrotherapy."
"Electric heat can enhance the attack of lightning and quickly melt any metal it touches."
"Electric waves can enhance perception and, together with electric fields, can shield the signal of Den Den Mushi."
"The electric field allows Hancock to turn into lightning, ignoring obstacles with teleportation-like movement."
"Electrotherapy is a life-saving skill. As long as the head and heart are intact, it can save a life."
"Furthermore, these four abilities are just the basic abilities of the Logia Rumble Fruit. As Hancock grows stronger, she can use these four basic abilities to create more extended skills. She can even develop new abilities that surpass those of previous Thunder Fruit users, defining them as a fifth basic ability."
"Uh-huh..."
Hancock nodded repeatedly.
With the help of Kahn's knowledge, Hancock found her growth path in less than a day.
Likewise, Hancock took less than a day to develop God's Judgment, which is capable of fixed-point strikes and other abilities like lightning metallurgy.
In Hancock's hand now, she held a staff made of gold.
This is her weapon!
Gold conducts electricity, allowing Hancock to release the power of lightning much faster than without the gold staff.
And this golden staff would not hinder Hancock's daily life.
When not in use, she would use Metallurgy to turn the golden staff into a wrist or protective gear.
While chatting, their ship crossed the 7,000-meter White Sea again and descended towards the Blue Sea.
"Master, where are we going next?"
After their ship landed back on the sea, Robin calmed down, returned to her usual self, and asked,
Kahn, who had been paying attention to Robin, knew she was recalling the destruction of Ohara. He raised his hand and touched Robin's head, then looked towards the Sabaody Archipelago, or more precisely, the direction of the Red Line, and said without blinking, "Although Hancock and Mary have both become Devil Fruit users, you're still too weak now."
"However, when I was in West Blue, I overheard some information from an undercover agent of a CP organization."
"If that information is true, I might have a way to save you more than ten years of hard work and directly obtain powerful abilities."
"And the key to that information lies in the second half of the Grand Line..."
After a slight pause, Kahn smiled and said, "So, our next stop is - the New World!"
...
Robin and the three Boa sisters found it incredible that Kahn could help them save more than ten years of hard work. However, seeing Kahn didn't want to elaborate, they didn't press the issue. Instead, they were filled with anticipation for their upcoming journey to the New World.
So, after returning to the Blue Sea, their ship headed straight for the Red Line.
In less than a week, their ship returned to the Sabaody Archipelago.
But this time, Kahn and his crew didn't stay long in the Sabaody Archipelago.
After a simple resupply, Kahn wrapped the Grandigne with telekinesis, soared into the sky, and entered the New World by flying over the Red Line.
Flying is an incredibly convenient ability, no matter which world you're in.
Those who can fly are always more threatening than those who cannot fly.
And people who can make objects fly are considered extremely dangerous in the eyes of world rulers.
Golden Lion Shiki, Kaido, and Kahn are such existences.
Especially Golden Lion, with his Float-Float Fruit, can make entire islands fly.
In the eyes of the Marines and the World Government, Golden Lion Shiki's ability, like Whitebeard's Tremor Tremor Fruit, has the power to destroy the world.
If it weren't for the rudder sticking out of his head, Golden Lion Shiki's Conqueror's Haki would have remained unchallenged.
In the deep sea prison, both his legs were cut off, and his unparalleled dual-swordsmanship was also hindered.
Shiki wouldn't need to live in seclusion, nor would he be surpassed by his junior Kaido, nor would he be left far behind by his former companions Whitebeard and Charlotte Linlin.
It's a pity there are no "ifs" in life.
Because Kaido opposed Luffy, in less than a month, he witnessed a nobody he could defeat with a single strike grow strong enough to challenge him.
As a legend of the previous era, Shiki lost because he opposed the Son of Destiny.
Going against the Son of Destiny is what happened to both Golden Lion and Kaido.
