Chapter 268: Overheating

[Superheating]: Continuous heating to completely evaporate the water in the steam to form superheated steam.

William was able to rely on steam as power because the volume of water expands more than a thousand times after boiling and vaporizing, and these vapors are compressed in William's body to provide powerful energy.

But the premise of all this is that William's body has enough "strength" and can lock the expanded steam, and before mastering the skill of "life return", William can only raise the temperature of the steam to about 100 degrees, because he can't lock the steam.

If you want to compare it, William's body at that time was like a steamer for cooking, when the water boiled and the gas expanded, it was easy to blow open the lid and slip away, in this case, no matter how much it was heated, it was difficult to continue to raise the temperature of the steam, all that could be done was to continue to add water, and then sit back and watch the steam slip away.

This also leads to the fact that the increase in Wilhelm's temperature and the rate of vaporization are slow and gradual.

So initially, even if William was able to easily fill a large area of space with steam when he used the steam fruit, in fact, it just looked amazing, and the actual power was not very good.

After mastering the "return of life", William found a way to prevent the escape of gases, and was able to control the concentration of gases in the body, which was equivalent to sealing the steamer by various means, on the one hand, the temperature could continue to rise, and on the other hand, the energy generated by the expansion of the gas could also act on itself.

This is the origin of William's Devil Fruit ability specialty, [Steam Power].

But after this kind of improvement made by relying on the "return of life" reached a certain point, William faced a new bottleneck, that is, the strength of the "container" that held the steam.

The gas expands, the vapor pressure increases, and because the outlet is locked, the pressure exceeds the ultimate strength of the vessel, which leads to an explosion.

In this case, William set his sights on one of the six moves - the iron block.

The essence of iron is to drum up strength in the well-trained body, so that the user's body has a hardness comparable to steel, so that even bullets and knives are difficult to penetrate.

William, as a person with natural fruit ability, is not very eager for the ability of the iron to ignore bullets and knives, what he really cares about is the skill of the iron to improve the strength of the body.

The so-called [Overheating] is a move developed by William by combining the ability of the Devil Fruit, the return of life, and the iron block.

Use iron to strengthen your body, use life return to lock in steam, and use the fruit's power to continuously heat up.

Moreover, in this process, the iron and life return are combined, and after locking the steam, the heat loss becomes extremely slow, so that the increase in the temperature of William's body continues to increase, and the speed of water vaporization and expansion is much faster than before, so in the state of [overheating], the temperature of William's body has reached more than 1,000 degrees, and has more explosive and destructive power than usual.

Wisdom and brains, it may seem that they cannot provide much assistance in battle, but in fact, they are catalysts and bonus tools for combat power, and the use of Devil Fruits, taking different combat styles against enemies with various abilities, and integrating their various skills to draw inferences from one another, and even integrate them, all require brains to think.

William himself is an extremely flexible person, and he is good at drawing inferences from one case and touching others, so that he has gained the expertise of [Integration].

Smart people will inevitably become weaker because of their flexible minds and good thinking, and their strength will be weakened, which is nothing more than the wishful thinking of anti-intellectuals who do not like to use their brains.

Although the Golden Lion Shiji was surprised that William's image suddenly changed drastically, he still sneered disapprovingly: "That's it? ”

Shiki floated in the air, his body getting taller and taller: "You're in the sky right now, this is my home field!" ”

The golden lion Shiki raised his hand, and the entire island was affected by his fruit ability to float in the sky, so as his fluttering fruit ability was activated, the sea water outside the village suddenly stirred, turning into a huge wave and rolling towards William on the shore.

JET-Moonstep!

There was a loud bang, and it was like an explosion under William's feet, and in the heat wave, the rubble splashed, and the steam overflowed, and William's whole person had disappeared in place.

The next moment, William had already appeared in front of the golden lion Shiki in the sky and slashed at his waist.

Although the golden lion Shiji was stunned, his reaction was not slow, and he quickly raised his right leg and used the sword under his feet to block William's attack.

The moment the swords met, the golden lion Shi Ji gritted his teeth, William has the [Strong] specialty, coupled with the current [overheated] state, the strength is unimaginable to ordinary people, the Golden Lion didn't expect this, and William collided hard, his knees bent involuntarily, and he hurriedly activated the Devil Fruit ability, flew backwards, and unloaded his strength.

William suddenly appeared before, and the golden lion Shiji thought that it was caused by the explosive jump, and he wanted to use the flying ability of the fluttering fruit to attack the other's weaknesses with his own strengths and open the distance between him and William.

But he didn't expect William to follow him, after the attack just now was blocked by Shiji, he didn't fall down, but stepped on his feet in the air, and every time he stepped down, there was an explosion under his feet, and the steam was swirling, and the whole person caught up with the golden lion Shiji who flew with the ability of fluttering fruits at a very fast speed.

In fact, William's vapor fruit was originally able to make him "float" in the air, as early as not long after eating the vapor fruit, William had already used the principle of hot air rising and water vapor density to increase his ability to stay in the air, but floating and flying are two different things.

William, who used to float on the characteristics of steam alone, was like a balloon, although he could be in the air, but if he relied on this alone, he had no ability to move at all, so he used the principle of steam jet to provide thrust to control his action in the air.

Later, after William mastered the moon step, he combined the two to truly realize "flight" - he could move freely in the air.

Therefore, on the entire battlefield, whether it is William's side, or the Golden Lion Shiji and his group, they have seen a strange scene that is difficult to see in their lifetime, and there are sonorous sounds in the sky from time to time.

The two figures, one gold and one red, kept moving through the sky, and the steam emanating from William's body even pulled a white line behind the two of them.

The leaders of the two sides fought directly in the sky!
