Sonia's speed is as fast as a ghost. When moving in a small range, she's no less than Hancock's electric field teleportation and faster than Kahn's.
In a long-distance race, Kahn's explosive speed is second only to Kizaru and Hancock's Blink and Thunder.
Kahn's build is different from Charlotte Linlin's. Linlin lost the speed of a natural destroyer due to her bulky body and obesity, but her defence is unmatched.
But Kahn is the opposite. His normal-sized body makes his defence weaker than Charlotte Linlin's steel balloon, but in terms of speed, he is much faster than Charlotte Linlin.
When Kahn was a child, he tried running at full speed.
Because his speed was too fast and his strength too great, he crushed the ground beneath him.
This problem once distressed Kahn, and it took a long time for him to learn to control his power.
After eating the Devil Fruit, Kahn gained super-long-distance attack abilities, could transform into a full-body dragon, and wreak havoc on the earth with ease. Kahn hadn't tried running at full strength for many years.
However, for short-distance movement, Kahn is far inferior to Hancock and Sonia.
Kahn moves short distances using Soru.
For Soru, each movement involves a pause and a forward shake.
Getting back to the point.
After Kahn and the others finished sighing, Sonia, who had been changing shape back and forth, finally stopped, and her main body appeared in front of Kahn and the others.
After a few seconds, the phantoms around them disappeared.
At this time, Kahn asked again: "Besides the speed increase, do you have any other improvements?"
"Uh-huh..."
Sonia nodded and said: "In addition to speed, my strength has also increased many times, especially with these sharp claws. They seem to be able to tear everything apart."
"There's also resilience. I feel that even if I'm injured now, I can heal quickly.
"These are some of the characteristics of Mythical Zoan types."
Kahn said with a satisfied smile: "From now on, you will be the third force of the family."
Whether it was high hopes or Kahn's approval, Sonia laughed happily and assured Kahn firmly: "Master, I will definitely not let you down!"
"Congratulations, Sonia."
Hancock stepped forward, patted Sonia's arm, and said with satisfaction: "From now on, you will be my deputy."
"Yes, sister."
Sonia was originally positioned in the family as both a living maid and a combat maid.
Now that she has eaten the Mythical Zoan: Vampire Fruit, she's no longer suitable to be a living maid.
With this time, it's better to practice Haki and develop her fruit abilities.
Therefore, the positions of the five maids in the family are very clear.
Robin, the head maid of life, is responsible for taking care of Kahn's daily life and handling various family affairs, with Koala as her deputy.
Hancock—the head maid of battle, responsible for fighting and training soldiers, such as the Kuja warriors who will soon become the main force of the "Cross Family" and the forces that may become the affiliated pirate group of the "Cross Clan" in the future, which Hancock will manage with Sonia as her deputy.
As for Mary, her position is the most special in the family.
She is the family's mobile warehouse and Robin's good helper. When she needs to use her abilities, she can also immediately join the battle. Like Sonia before, she is both a living maid and a combat maid.
After reuniting with the three Boa sisters and letting Sonia eat the Mythical Zoan: Vampire Fruit, Kahn does not immediately transform into a dragon and uses telekinesis to take Amazon Lily away from the Calm Belt. Instead, he entered the palace first and participated in the family dinner Hancock had prepared.
"Hancock, where is your Grandmother Gloriosa?"
In the dining room, Kahn sat in the main seat, which originally belonged to Hancock, and suddenly asked her.
"My Grandmother left Amazon Lily yesterday."
Hancock replied truthfully: "She didn't want to move to the New World, so she left alone to find the previous Empress, the woman who followed Silvers Rayleigh three years ago."
"So that's it, that woman is the previous Empress." Kahn pretended to be surprised.
"Well, when I first heard the news, I was also taken aback."
Hancock sighed slightly, "I didn't expect that woman to be over forty years old, and she couldn't tell at all."
Not only that, when the other party was sixty-four years old, she still looked the same as now, Kahn thought to himself.
When Robin, Hancock, and Mary reach the age of 30, if they can't get pure gold by then, Kahn will go to Sabaody Archipelago to ask Shakky for advice on how to stop ageing.
The banquet started, and Kahn and his group enjoyed the Sea Kings feast prepared by the chefs of Amazon Lily.
This is one of the benefits of living in the Calm Belt.
As long as you have enough strength, the Sea Kings in the light-transmitting layer are an inexhaustible source of top-quality ingredients.
These ingredients are full of nutrition, acting as a powerful tonic.
It's also because of eating this kind of food since childhood and the perfect Haki system that the Kuja warriors met the conditions for practising Haki at a young age.
They mastered Armament Haki and Observation Haki.
While Kahn was savouring Sea King's delicacies and chatting with the three Boa sisters...
The ringing of the Den Den Mushi suddenly quieted the atmosphere in the restaurant.
After wiping his mouth with the handkerchief handed over by Hancock, Kahn took out the Den Den Mushi he was carrying and answered the call.
"Moshi Moshi, I'm Doflamingo."
Before Kahn could speak, the Den Den Mushi imitated Doflamingo's evil and charming expression and let out a unique laugh, "Fufufufu... I have found what you want."
After three years of cooperation, Doflamingo had brought the greatest benefits to the "Cross Family" every time, successfully winning Kahn's favour. The title had changed from "Mr Kahn" to simply "Kahn."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Kahn immediately expressed surprise and said, "Could it be that you have already found the Paramecia Golden Fruit?"
"Fufufufu... yes, do you want me to contact Umit and ask his transport ship to deliver the Devil Fruit to the New World for you?" Doflamingo asked.
"No, you keep it for me first."
Kahn immediately said, "I'll set off for North Blue later, and then you will hand it over to me."
"No problem, contact me when you get to North Blue, and I'll give you an address."
The Den Den Mushi imitated Doflamingo's nodding appearance.
"Nice job, Doffy."
Kahn also gave Doflamingo what he wanted at the right time and said with a smile, "From now on, the 'Cross Family' and the 'Donquixote Family' will be allies. After you enter the New World, I will temporarily lend you the flag of the 'Cross Family' and authorize you to handle the business of ammunition and medicine."
"Fufufufu... it's my honour."
With Kahn's promise, the Den Den Mushi immediately showed excitement.
What Doflamingo wanted more than arms was the flag of the "Cross Family" and the authorization for medicines.
The former would allow the "Donquixote Family" to enter the New World without being harassed by any forces other than the Yonko, and even the affiliated pirates of the Yonko would dare not touch them.
The latter was one of the top three bestsellers in the Underworld.
As long as Kahn lets him sell the medicine, Doflamingo can definitely command a super high price.
At that time, even a small agency fee could make him a lot of money.
Moreover, Doflamingo cared more about personal connections than agency fees.
The medicines from the "Cross Family" would allow him to build many relationships, and the contacts of the "Donquixote Family" would expand rapidly in the New World.
Compared to these benefits, a mere Paramecia Golden Fruit was not worth mentioning at all.
Not knowing what Kahn was going to do with the Paramecia Golden Fruit, Doflamingo thought he had made a fortune.
