Chapter 52: Owen Boils the Sea
"Hurry up and bring a strong rope to Brother Owen, yes, no matter how fierce the betta fish is, it is also afraid of heat!" As soon as Mousse's words fell, Eighth Sister Bray took out a long rope from the mirror world and threw it to Charlotte Owen.
It seems that this sister can't bear to witness when she commits a second offense, but she is still very reliable under normal circumstances......
After taking the long rope, Charlotte Owen immediately launched an "overheated" acceleration action.
Then before everyone even reacted, they saw that the rope had been knotted around the mast.
Owen, on the other hand, quickly slid down the side of the boat with a rope and plunged his booted feet into the water, "Turn me into dead fish, Atami Onsen!" ”
It stands to reason that the Devil Fruit ability cannot be activated in the seawater, but Owen, who usually looks a little reckless and unwise, has discovered a "loophole" in this iron law.
Seawater needs to be in direct contact with the surface of the body to contain the fruit ability, but the fruit ability can be displayed through the armor and even weapons on the body, and the latter is considered a part of the body by the Devil Fruit ability and will not be destroyed, which is where Charlotte Owen's ultimate move "Atami Onsen" comes from.
Originally, Charlotte Owen put on waterproof gloves and started it by hand, and half a year ago, after Mousse's reminder, he developed a way to use other parts of the body to start, such as now wearing waterproof boots to heat up in the water, which is more convenient and more efficient than using his hands!
As soon as Charlotte Owen's feet entered the water, countless bubbles appeared on the surface of the sea, and white mist quickly rose with it.
But before everyone's vision was completely obscured, the white fog quickly dissipated due to the rapid increase in air temperature.
At this time, as far as Mousse could see, the sea surface had been boiled, and the previous fierce bettas were scalded and jumped out of the water.
But this only prolonged their life a little, and in a short time, the betta fish flipped up their bellies and floated on the surface of the sea like those small fish and shrimp......
The heat caused Mousse to sweat just as much as everyone else on the boat, but he didn't feel any discomfort at all.
Because Charlotte Irving's trick "Hot Spring Atami" was much stronger than the last time Mousse saw it, it was a world of difference, and his heart was completely filled with shock and incomprehension: "Even if the sea is full of moisture, I should be able to see at least a few hundred meters away, and it is actually boiled?" It feels like a few seconds have passed, right? When did Brother Owen's move become so powerful? ”
The boiling steam made everyone on board sweat, especially Charlotte Castade, who was choked with fright.
She shook her neckline and fanned the wind very unladylikely, but she still didn't feel a little cool, "It's really hot, it's like a sauna, I can't stand it, I'm going to take a shower, do you want to come along?" ”
"Don't make a fuss, I have something to ask Brother Owen." Mousse blackened his face and pushed away Kastad's hand that had touched the top of his head.
Don't look at this sister as an adult, she still likes to be coquettish and cute, and she is very easy to panic when she encounters problems, just like a child who will never grow up.
I don't know if it's because of this, she was 45 years old when she appeared in the original book Cake Island, and she still looked as young as a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl......
"It's really an intensification of 'overheating.'" After hearing Charlotte Owen's answer, Mousse suddenly showed a look of "sure enough" on his face.
Since "overheating" can improve the overall state of the body, it stands to reason that the ability of the Devil Fruit based on the body should also be strengthened.
And because the heat output of the hot fruit itself is weak (even the most terrifying-looking Atami hot springs have a huge gap compared to the Akainu Meteor Volcano, or even just Ace's Yan Emperor, even more than the gap in their own strength. So no matter how strong it is, the body can also bear it.
"In other words, Brother Owen, your heating capacity in the 'overheated' state can be increased by a maximum of ten times? ...... Is it the same as your explosive power increase? But what can the body afford? After Mousse's question was answered in the affirmative, the joy on his face overflowed, and he couldn't hide it......
It is worth mentioning that due to the overheating state is equivalent to speeding up time, Charlotte Owen has worked hard against time, and the fruit development has made significant progress in just ten days, and the upper limit of temperature rise has exceeded 600 °C at this time.
Although even such a value does not look as scary as flames and magma, unless there is a special fruit ability, even the body of the world's top powerhouse is heated to such a temperature (note that there is a fundamental difference between the two if they are not exposed to such a temperature). He will surely die.
It's just that with the original heating speed, Charlotte Owen usually only has time to heat his skin to such a high temperature when facing a strong person who only has the opportunity to touch it occasionally, so he looks chicken.
But now that the "overheating" has intensified, and the heating rate has skyrocketed to more than ten times the original rate, it is completely different.
It's true that the Armed Color Domineering uses the usage that the Acrylic Rack said before can even defuse non-physical damage.
But the power of Owen's direct attack with his fists and feet under the "overheating" reinforcement is already quite amazing, and if the opponent consumes too much armed color domineering to defuse his fruit ability, it will be difficult to block his equally powerful heavy punch.
In fact, after the extremely enhanced heating power, Charlotte Owen's attack method is almost the same as the lava fist of the future Admiral Akainu, both of which have high temperature and impact power and super lethality.
Although it lacks the AOE ability and the flexible changes unique to the natural system, but only in terms of heating efficiency, Mousse even suspects that he has surpassed the current Red Dog, and Owen's fruit ability has not yet awakened, which means that there is still a lot of room for improvement!
Originally, Mousse was still a little worried that Owen would heat himself and the enemy again, whether he would be unbearable.
But as soon as Charlotte Owen said it simply, Mousse understood that he was simply overthinking, "Indeed, although the effect of heating itself is significant, in the end it is just heating a lump...... A ton of flesh and blood, with Brother Owen's ability to boil a radius of several miles of sea in the blink of an eye, this consumption is simply insignificant; As for the protection of the hot fruit from itself, it is a passive effect that comes with eating the fruit from the beginning, and it will not consume physical strength at all......"
In addition, if you only touch the target for a split second, it doesn't actually consume much because of the short time.
In the final analysis, Charlotte Irving's biggest problem before was actually the lack of "output power", due to the limitations of the killing method, the empty power could not be used.
In addition, the pure fruit ability (Luffy's use of the combination of physical skills and domineering when he opens the gear is counted separately) is not like the muscles that will be strained if they exert too much force in an instant, and the body can eat it if it can be used.
At most, it will not be able to be used continuously due to the rapid depletion of physical strength, and it will never cause any permanent residual damage.
