Kazan's ghost hand used a little force and crushed the cauldron. He left the sea water and felt the strength restored all over his body. He couldn't help but groan in comfort.
After a month, Kazan basically spent his life in this pot, and his body was swollen.
So to what extent is Kazan's immunity to seawater now?
Kazan doesn't know what his level is like. In short, even if his whole body is not submerged in the sea water, he can already 'struggle' powerfully in the water.
And if only a small part of his body enters the sea water, he can even use the ability of the Steel Fruit a little bit, which is similar to Aokiji and Charlotte Owen. They can also use the freezing and heating abilities by inserting their hands into the sea.
.
The reason why he strengthened his resistance to sea water is because when he was fighting with Shanks, Kazan accidentally stepped into a lake connected to the sea with one foot.
At that time, Kazan's resistance to seawater was basically zero, so much so that Kazan was immediately stripped of his strength. Even if he wanted to temporarily attach a layer of steel membrane to his body to separate the seawater like the emperor's armor, he was powerless.
He simply doesn't have the energy to use the Steel Fruit's ability.
But now the situation is completely different.
In the future, even if both feet fall into the sea during the battle, as long as Kazan reacts quickly enough, he can completely seal his body with a steel film before more parts of his body are submerged underwater, and then quickly leave the sea to avoid
The state of losing combat effectiveness.
"Then... there is one last situation to test."
Kazan asked for 'Yaksha' from Bellamy, a magical arm armor with part of the sea tower stone inlaid on the fist.
Then he tightly grasped the fist part with his right hand, and the familiar feeling of fatigue came again, but it was far less intense than when he was soaked in the pot.
However, the Sea Tower Stone is very different from sea water. Although the Sea Tower Stone is small in size, it concentrates the element in sea water that can make Devil Fruit users lose their strength.
Just the sea-floor stones on the 'Yaksha' made Kazan feel that at least half of his body was soaked in sea water.
He has lost about 70% to 80% of his strength, but he has not completely lost his ability to move and can still continue to fight.
"Next is the gap between steel... chemical and membrane."
Kazan first let go of Yasha, then used Iron to grab it, then released it, attached a steel film and grabbed it again.
"That's it..."
The situation did not change when the steel touched the sea tower stone, the body was still weak, and the ability of the steel fruit disappeared in an instant.
But when the steel membrane touches the sea tower stone, the ability is still there and the strength does not decrease, as if what it touches is not the sea tower stone.
What changes to steel is the body. Even if the arm becomes a steel arm, it is still your own body that touches the sea tower stone.
The steel film is a steel film attached to the surface of the body to separate the body from the outside world. What touches the sea floor stone is the film on the surface of the body, not his body.
"You have to pay attention to the situation in future battles..."
Since Kazan could turn his body into steel, he has never used a steel film. He only attaches a steel film to the knife when he wants to heat it.
After all, although the steel film is lighter, its defensive power is far inferior to that of steel, and the heat resistance of the steel film is not as strong as that of steel.
But now, the steel membrane is not so useless.
At least when facing enemies like Smog and Zefa who use seastone weapons, Steel Membrane is the best choice.
Even if the body is hit by the opponent's weapon, as long as the hit part is protected with steel film in time, the combat effectiveness will not be lost.
After stretching, Kazan threw the 'Yaksha' back to Bellamy.
Of course, leaving the cauldron this time was not because Kazan felt that it was almost done, or because Kazan didn’t want to soak in it anymore.
Although he really didn't want to take another dip, and after going to sea, he felt that it was almost done.
But the real reason is that Bellamy caught a big guy on the boat while he was fishing.
Kazan came to the stern deck and took a look at a strange creature surrounded by people.
???
Kazan felt that this thing had a faint sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember why there was a subtle sense of familiarity.
A small manatee... small here means young, and this little thing is at least three meters long.
"The manatee seems to be the kind that hasn't been weaned... This kind of sea animal should be in the Grand Line all year round. It appears here because it probably got lost during the migration of the race."
When Kazan heard Robin say that this thing was a manatee, the first image that came to his mind was the Kung Fu manatee in Alabasta, but... the gap was too big, it was obviously not the case.
Robin knelt down and touched the horns of the calf and the small ring on its nose. This thing touched Robin's cuteness.
It was precisely for this reason that it was not killed immediately when Bellamy caught it.
It happened that Robin was basking in the sun next to him and saw this scene, and stopped Bellamy's fist from falling, otherwise the calf would have been reborn not long after he was born.
Kazan doesn't think there's anything cute about this thing. There are fish scales and fins on the abdomen and back respectively, and the rest of the skin on the body is like that of a cow, except that the black markings on the cow's body are replaced by dark green ones.
"Moo..."
The little manatee looked pitifully at Robin with its big watery eyes, instinctively telling it that only the woman in front of it could save it.
"Throw it away."
"Ni-chan... if you leave it, it will be eaten by other fish soon!"
Robin took Kazan's ghost hand and spoke to him seriously, but his face was a little flushed, as if it was caused by excitement.
"..."
Kazan glanced at the three-meter-long manatee and felt a little confused, but a realization soon came to him: "Then keep it for a while?"
"Uh-huh!!"
Seeing that his aloof and mature sister Robin rarely had such a cute and girlish side, Kazan decided to save the life of this sea cow for the time being.
"We don't have milk on board for it to drink."
At this time, Monet said with a headache, there was no shortage of milk on the Caroso, but only papaya milk, which was only available to girls in the family.
Moreover, the baby manatee cannot drink papaya milk, so pure milk can be considered.
In the past, when Sugar and Perona were young, they did prepare pure milk.
However, ever since Sugar tasted papaya milk once when she was nine years old, she was immediately attracted by the sweet taste and stopped loving pure milk.
Therefore, the list of supplies they prepare before each voyage no longer includes pure milk, but only a large amount of papaya milk.
"It's okay. You can already see the next island. There should be something the manatee boy can drink there."
