Chapter 268 Overheating
Demon Fruit Specialty, [Overheat].
[Superheating]: Continuous heating to completely evaporate the moisture in the steam, forming superheated steam.
William was able to use steam as power because the volume of water will expand more than a thousand times after boiling and vaporizing. These steams are compressed by William into his body and can provide powerful energy.
But the premise of all this is that William's body has enough "strength" and can lock the expanded steam. Before mastering the skill of "returning life", William can only increase the temperature of the steam to about one hundred degrees because he cannot lock the steam.
If you want to compare it, William's body was like a steamer for cooking. When the water boiled and the gas expanded, it would easily blow open the lid and slip away. In this case, no matter how much it heated it, it would be difficult to continue to increase the temperature of the steam. All he could do was to continue adding water and then watch the steam slip away.
This also leads to the increase in William's temperature and the speed of vaporization, which is slow and gradual.
So at first, even though William could easily spread the steam into a large space when using steam fruit, in fact, it just looked amazing and its actual power was not very good. It could hit the enemy's key points in a small range, and it would be okay to hit it unexpectedly. It spreads out on a large range and the temperature continues to drop, which is similar to helping people with sweat and steam.
After mastering the "return of life", William found a way to prevent gas from escaping, which can control gas to gather in the body. In this sealed space, it is equivalent to sealing the steamer with various means. On the one hand, the temperature can continue to increase, and on the other hand, the energy generated by gas expansion can also act on itself.
This is the origin of William's Demon Fruit's ability expertise and [Steam Power].
However, after this improvement made by "return of life", William faced a new bottleneck, which is the strength of the "container" that accommodates steam.
When the gas expands, the steam pressure continues to increase, and because the air outlet is locked, the consequence of the pressure exceeding the limit strength of the container will lead to an explosion.
In this case, William turned his attention to one of the six moves - iron blocks.
The secret of iron blocks is to bulge strength into the body that is trained in a solid body, so that the user's body has a hardness comparable to steel, so that even bullets and knives are difficult to break.
As a natural fruit abilities, William is not very eager for the ability of iron blocks to ignore bullets and weapons. What he really cares about is the skills of iron blocks to increase the strength of the body.
The so-called [overheating] is a move developed by William combining the ability of the devil fruit, life return, and iron blocks.
Use iron blocks to strengthen the body's strength, use life to return to lock the steam, and use the ability of the fruit to continuously heat it.
Moreover, in this process, the iron block and life return and locked the steam, the heat loss becomes extremely slow, which makes William's body temperature increase continue to increase, and the water vaporizes and expands faster than before. Therefore, in the state of [overheating], William's body temperature has reached more than 1,000 degrees, and has more powerful explosive and destructive power than usual.
Wisdom and mind seem to be unable to provide any assistance to combat, but in fact, they are catalysts and bonus tools for combat power. The use of devil fruits adopts different ways of fighting against enemies with various abilities, integrate their own various skills, and learn from one example or even integrate them. All of this requires thinking.
William himself is a very flexible person, good at learning from one example and learning from other things, thus gaining the expertise of [integration].
Smart people will definitely become weaker because of their flexible minds and good at thinking. They are just wishful fantasies of anti-intellectuals who do not like to use their brains.
Although Golden Lion Ski was surprised that William's image suddenly changed drastically, he still sarcastically said, "Just this?"
Ski floated in the air, his body getting taller and taller: "You are in the sky now, and this is my home court!"
The golden lion Ski raised his hand and the entire island was affected by his fruit ability to float in the sky. Therefore, with his ability to float, the sea water outside the village suddenly became turbulent, turning into huge waves and rolling towards William on the shore.
jet-Moon Step!
With a loud bang, William's feet seemed to be an explosion. The heat waves evaporated, gravel splashed, and steam overflowed, and William had disappeared from his original place.
The next moment, William had already appeared in front of Ski, the golden lion above, and slashed at his waist with a knife.
Although the golden lion Ski was shocked, he did not react slowly. He quickly raised his right leg and used the sword under his feet to block William's attack.
The moment the swords and swords were connected, the Golden Lion Ski gritted his teeth. William had the [strong] expertise, and his current [overheating] state, his power was so great that ordinary people could imagine. The Golden Lion did not expect this. He fought with William head-on, and his knees were involuntarily bent, and he quickly activated the ability of the Demon Fruit, flew backwards, and removed his strength.
William suddenly appeared before, and Ski, the Golden Lion, thought it was caused by relying on explosive power to jump. He wanted to use the flying ability of the Piaopiao Fruit to attack the opponent's shortcomings with his own strengths and to widen the distance with William.
However, William followed like a shadow. After the attack just now was blocked by Ski, he did not fall down. Instead, his feet stepped in the air. Every time he stepped down, a burst of explosion came from his feet, steam swaying. The whole person caught up with Ski, the golden lion who was flying with the ability of the Floating Fruit at an extremely fast speed.
In fact, William's steam fruit could have made him "float" in the air. Not long after he ate the steam fruit, William had already used the principle of rising hot air and lower water vapor density to increase his ability to stagnate the air. However, floating and flying are two different things.
William, who had floated by steam characteristics before, was like a balloon. Although he could be in the air, if he had this point alone, he had no ability to move at all, so he used the principle of steam injection to provide thrust to control the movement in the air.
Later, after William mastered the moon step, he combined the two to truly realize "flying" - he could act at will in the air.
Therefore, on the entire battlefield, whether it was William's side or the Golden Lion Ski and his gang, they all saw a strange scene that was hard to see in their lives. From time to time, a clanging sound came from the sky. When William and the Golden Lion Ski's swords fought fiercely, they would make a harsh friction sound every time, and even Mars was drawn.
Two figures, one gold and one red, kept passing through the sky, and the steam emitted from William's body even pulled a white line behind the two of them.
