Chapter 177 Xin Wang

Free Ship.

When Enel received the prayers of the Amazons.

Kong Tai also seemed to feel something, looked up at the sky, and a playful, mocking smile appeared on his face.

Enel is truly the pinnacle of long-range Observation Haki in the Pirate King world, and this distance is truly exaggerated!

He tried his own Observation Haki and could only sense the aura on Angel Island.

He couldn't sense Apaya at all.

If it weren't for his strong spirit and keen perception, he would have had a faint sense of being watched when this guy's senses arrived, and might not have even discovered this guy's peeping.

It wasn't that Enel's Observation Haki was that powerful, but his Rumble-Rumble Fruit was simply too monstrous.

Its speed was comparable to Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit, it could turn without assistance, its attacks were strong enough, it could greatly enhance the range of Observation Haki, it could also heal with electricity, and it could even power a ship…

If a modern person with knowledge of physics obtained this fruit, they would surely destroy the Rubber-Rubber Fruit in minutes.

If a scientist like Vegapunk obtained this fruit, he would surely become a true god of thunder in minutes.

After all, lightning not only has electricity, but also the high temperature, electromagnetic shock, and explosion brought by lightning!

Lightning could explode in air with high humidity!

And discharging would also produce a magnetic field, theoretically speaking, this was also an electromagnetic force fruit!

To place such an invincible fruit in the hands of Enel, who understood nothing, was indeed a bit of a waste.

Being defeated by Luffy was likely due to his arrogant personality and insufficient development of his fruit's potential.

He could only think so.

Could rubber really counter lightning?

Hmm…

He almost forgot.

This guy wasn't the Rubber-Rubber Fruit user, but the "Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika Form," the Sun God Nika fruit user, a god-level fruit user who could create lightning with his hands and have flames on his head.

If that were the case, it would explain why Luffy's rubber could counter lightning.

He was even immune to the high temperature and explosion caused by lightning.

One must know that the high temperature caused by lightning can reach tens of thousands of degrees. At such temperatures, everything could be vaporized in an instant.

Hmm…

It was also possible that this Rumble-Rumble Fruit was just a name, and it couldn't compare to natural lightning. Therefore, although 200 million volts was intimidating, the actual power output was very low, and it weakened to nothing by the time it reached people.

So it couldn't kill people.

Alas~

"I won't think about it anymore."

This thing couldn't be explained, and if he talked too much, there would be know-it-alls coming to educate him.

After all, people!

It was better to be ignorant. Seeking truth in a virtual world was truly a foolish act.

After all, he had encountered transmigration, so it was normal for lightning to be countered by rubber.

There were too many unexplainable things in this world, no need to get stuck on trivialities and pursue truth.

"What's wrong?"

Kuina turned her head, looked at Kong Tai's changing expression, took his left hand, and asked softly.

Kong Tai shook his head, withdrew his gaze, tilted his head to look at Kuina, and smiled, "Nothing, I was just thinking about some things randomly, and got too caught up in it."

"Haha!! But the guy we're looking for is indeed quite strong."

"Oh…"

Kuina looked at Kong Tai with a look of curiosity, "Strong?"

If Kong Tai said someone was strong, they must be strong, she just didn't know how strong.

"Mhm!"

Kong Tai nodded, then smiled and said, "I was just thinking too much because I sensed that guy's gaze just now."

"Gaze???"

Kuina turned her head and looked around, a hint of surprise appearing on her face, "Such a long distance, and he can sense us, then this guy's Observation Haki…"

"Observation Haki?"

Just then, Gan Fall stepped forward, walked to Kong Tai's side, glanced at the sky, then turned his head to look at Kong Tai and Kuina, and said seriously, "The sense of being watched that you mentioned, I think I know what it is."

"Uh…"

Kong Tai and Kuina turned their heads to look at Gan Fall simultaneously. Kong Tai didn't ask, he already knew this.

Kuina asked curiously, "Isn't it Observation Haki?"

"Observation Haki??"

Gan Fall touched the beard on his chin, raised his head, and chuckled, "Observation Haki might be what you people from the Blue Sea call it. We here call this ability 'Mantra,' a special ability that can hear the sounds within living beings."

"This ability, with training, can further enhance the range of perception, and even predict the enemy's next move. Enel's four priests all possess this special ability. Their perception can cover the entire Apaya, so as soon as someone arrives on the island, they appear immediately."

He paused slightly here, then continued, "And the sense of being watched that you previously felt should be from Enel. The range of this guy's Mantra can cover the entire God's Land. He can even hear any sound in the entire God's Land, so as long as you enter the range of God's Land, no matter who it is, there is no possibility of hiding from this guy."

"Hearing sounds???"

A string of question marks flashed in Kuina's head.

Then she turned her head to look at Kong Tai, "Is this Observation Haki?"

Although Observation Haki can sense the aura of living beings, after swordsmen have comprehended the realm of cutting steel, they can feel the breath of all things by calming their minds. As for sound, they can sense it at close range, but she had never sensed sound from such a long distance.

She could sense emotions, but sensing sound from such a distance was a bit preposterous.

And from such a far distance.

This was quite unbelievable.

"Mhm…"

Kong Tai rubbed his chin and thought, then looked up and said to Kuina, "How should I put it? It should be a special effect brought about by that guy's Devil Fruit ability!"

"Oh! So it's a Devil Fruit ability!"

Kuina nodded, then turned to look at Gan Fall, signaling him to continue.

From the look of Grandpa Fol, he clearly hadn't finished speaking.

"Mhm!"

Gan Fall stroked his beard and nodded, then said, "It should be as Kong Tai-san said, Enel probably hears people's voices through his Devil Fruit ability. After all, although I don't have Mantra, I've lived for so many years and understand it well. To hear sounds from such a long distance is indeed beyond the scope of ordinary Mantra."

Speaking of which, he raised his head, looking at the exit gradually approaching above, a flash of anger in his eyes.

"And it is precisely because of this ability of this guy that the residents of Angel Island have suffered immensely in recent years. Living under constant surveillance of their every word and deed is extremely hateful, yet they dare not show obvious dislike. They can only act cautiously in their daily lives, because being perceived as disrespectful by this guy would immediately incur divine punishment."

After speaking, he lowered his head, looked at Kong Tai and the two, with hope in his eyes.

"And at this moment, Enel should know we've arrived, so he will likely arrange his priests in Apaya to set up trials for us, waiting for us!"

"Let him wait!"

Kong Tai shrugged indifferently, turned to look at the exit ahead, his right hand swept across his waist, took down his wine gourd, and took a gulp.

"Rumble-Rumble Fruit…"

"God Enel!"

"If you want to know if that guy's lightning is just a bluff, we'll find out when the time comes. Anyway, that guy's lightning can't touch his body."

Kong Tai put down the gourd, looked at the exit above, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
