Chapter 49 - Hancock's Strength Level, Millet-Millet Fruit

In the original story, Enel, who possesses unique Observation Haki and can increase the voltage of his lightning to 200 million volts, would have a bounty of over 500 million berries if he were wanted in the Blue Sea.

In other words, Enel, with his Observation Haki and 200 million volts from the Rumble Fruit, would be a top officer in a Yonko pirate crew, like Portgas D. Ace, even in the strongest sea of the New World.

So, what about Hancock, who has unique Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and a 300 million volt Rumble Fruit?

There's no doubt she'd be a top officer with a bounty starting at 500 million berries.

Even Kahn can confirm that Jack, known as the "Jack the Drought", with a bounty of one billion berries for his tusks, is far inferior to Hancock.

In other words, Hancock's current strength also ranks her among the top officers at the billion-berry level.

But she's only a top officer.

There's still a gap between her and the Big Mom's right hand, Hancock.

Observation Haki alone isn't as good as Charlotte Katakuri's future sight.

And a 300 million volt lightning strike isn't a fatal threat to Katakuri, who has mastered fruit awakening, Marco with his regenerative blue flames, and King, with the physical toughness of the Lunarian tribe.

Not to mention, besides these abilities, Katakuri, Marco, and King have much stronger Armament, Haki and combat experience compared to the current Hancock.

These three might be inferior, let alone Benn Beckman, who's said to have strength rivalling his captain.

Although she hasn't reached the level of an emperor's right hand, Hancock's current strength makes Kahn very satisfied.

Because Hancock can't beat the mate, and the mate can't beat her.

After all, Logia Rumble Fruit has speed advantages far beyond Katakuri's special Paramecia, Marco's Mythical Zoan, and King's Ancient Zoan.

To be precise, she has teleportation.

With her lightning voltage soaring to 300 million, Hancock's electric field is much stronger than when she was twelve years old.

As long as she activates her electric field, Hancock can move at lightning speed, ignoring all obstacles within the field.

And the electric field is invisible, meaning even the Paramecia Barrier Fruit can't stop Hancock's teleportation.

Reaching the highest level of officers and with teleportation more convenient than the Glint-Glint Fruit, Hancock is just like Kizaru. Facing weaker opponents, she's like a major threat.

Against stronger opponents, she can still hold her own even if she can't win.

After awakening Conqueror's Haki, mastering advanced use of Armament and Observation Haki, and even learning Conqueror's Haki infusion like Yamato, Hancock is akin to Benn Beckman or even Rayleigh beside Kahn.

Just like Hancock said, as long as she doesn't face the world's top overlords, she can handle anything.

Kahn can indeed count on her to help share the burden.

Leveraging the advantages of being a traveller, Kahn made a quick assessment of Hancock's strength, then closed his eyes again with a smile, continuing his search for the Paramecia Millet-Millet Fruit.

While Kahn continued searching, Robin and the others familiarized themselves with their new bodies.

However, unlike Hancock, whose strength had drastically improved, Robin and the others' improvements from nine, ten, eleven to eighteen years old were less dramatic.

If the world's strength were digitized with a maximum level of 100, then mastering two-colour Haki at twelve, and with the Logia Rumble Fruit, Hancock's level was forty or fifty.

By eighteen, her level had skyrocketed to at least seventy, achieving dozens of jumps.

As long as the Rumble Fruit goes further and she masters advanced Conqueror's Haki, she'll reach level 80 or 90, becoming one of the superpowers standing at the world's highest peak.

As for Sonia and Robin, if they were at level 10 and level 15 before, now they're only at level 20 or 30.

Yes, when they were eighteen, they couldn't beat twelve-year-old Hancock.

Only Mary is an exception.

Mary, with her Paramecia Castle Castle Fruit ability, can transform into an 80-meter-tall castle. Even Kahn, at 15 years old, usually needs two or three punches to destroy her.

For Hancock, it would take several 300-million-volt lightning strikes to bring down the castle.

Certainly...

Although Robin, Sonia, and Mary's current strength hasn't improved much, in the next few years, their strength will increase significantly.

Because the age of eighteen to twenty-eight is the best growth period.

At this age, Robin, Sonia, and Mary will train in Haki and Rokushiki, making rapid progress.

In a few years, Robin will become stronger than the original Kalifa and master both Armament and Observation Haki.

Mary will be the mobile warehouse and shield of the group.

And Sonia is destined to become one of Kahn's strongest fighters.

The biggest beneficiary of this trip to Wano Country is undoubtedly Hancock.

Not only has her strength dramatically improved, but she has also become an unparalleled beauty, even surpassing Scarlett.

Next in line are Robin, Sonia, and Mary.

Only Kahn experienced a huge loss.

Not only did he almost become the shortest in the group, but he also couldn't pat the maids.

What's even more annoying is that they tried to prank him.

Luckily, fate still favours Kahn.

A week later, after searching the area around the Amigasa Village, Kahn finally found a Devil Fruit with a special spiral pattern hidden in a gap covered by flowers and plants in a valley below a waterfall.

This Devil Fruit is the Paramecia Millet Millet Fruit that Tama ate in the original story.

Why is Kahn so sure this is the Paramecia Milletr Millet Fruit?

It's simple...

Because Kahn read the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia" from someone else's memory.

Finding the Paramecia Millet Millet Fruit finally brought Kahn some comfort.

At least he had some gains.

After carefully wrapping the Paramecia Millet Millet Fruit with a mind shield, he brought it back to Mary, asking her to take out a treasure chest from her castle form, place the Paramecia Millet Millet Fruit inside, and put it back in the treasure house.

Then, with blue telekinetic waves radiating from his body, Kahn used his power to lift Robin, Sonia, Mary, and Hancock, who had become familiar with their new bodies over the week and flew away from Wano Country.

This trip to Wano Country was undoubtedly rewarding for Kahn and his team.
