Raijin Island: Developing the Rumble-Rumble Fruit / Island-Destroying Spear of Sanction
Moreover, although it's described as an island-destroying move, '200 Million Volt Thunder Spear's is only half an island-destroying move.
This trump card could only barely break through Kaido's defenses, but Kaido would recover quickly after being injured.
It's impossible for Excalibur to completely evaporate Kaido's flesh and cells after breaking through his defenses, thus delaying Kaido's recovery speed.
To make the 'Thunder Spear' a trump card alongside 'True Name Release' Excalibur, Great Swordsman Slash, Raigo, Arthur must upgrade it to take its power to the next level.
But the one who ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was not Arthur, but the Holy Lance.
Arthur can use the Lightning Power within, but he cannot develop it.
To push the Rumble-Rumble Fruit beyond its 200 million volt limit, we'll need to find another way.
"Hiss..."
'Call out--!'
Strengthening is too early; Arthur's current goal is Kuzan's defeat.
With his Holy Lance fully charged, Arthur gripped the blue-white lightning pillar and, riding his King's Horse's steed, shot out as a beam of light.
After flying a certain distance, it hurled the lightning bolt in its hand towards a certain location.
In an instant, a sonic boom that caused ringing in the ears rang out.
'Boom--!'
Shortly afterward, another deafening explosion rang out, and a mushroom cloud rose into the air.
"Ding! You have won this battle. Total victories: 98!003"
This time, the system notification finally rang in Arthur's mind.
Only then did Arthur show a satisfied smile.
Just now, Arthur used his Observation Haki (A++) to foresee Kuzan's escape route and aimed at the location he was bound to pass through, not at Kuzan himself.
Unless it's directed at a person, even someone with exceptional Observation Haki and strong Intuition will react slightly slower.
Arthur caught everyone off guard.
As the system notification faded, a warm current, comparable to that of the Golden Lion, surged within Arthur's body, quickly spreading throughout his entire being.

Chapter 218 Raijin Island, the Development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit
With the Victory Index reaching (98), Arthur had been in a state of calm for more than half a year. After more than twenty rounds, including the strengthening brought by powerful figures such as 'Golden Lion' Shiki and 'Drought' Jack who met all the conditions of the system, his four-dimensional attributes finally entered the full (A+) domain.
Normally, he's in the (A+) range, but with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he's in the (A++) range. Now, whether it's his physique or his abilities, Arthur is among the world's top 'Monsters'.
As the warm current flowed through his body and gradually dissipated, Arthur felt his strength more than double.
This gave him more confidence in his upcoming plans.
But that's still not enough.
New World, Raijin Island.
Raijin Island is one of the three starting islands, along with Risky Red Island and Misteria Island. It is one of the islands indicated by the New World Pointer after entering the New World.
Compared to the islands of 'Rischiled' and 'Stelly', the dangers of Raijin Island far outweigh those of the other two.
This is an island surrounded by Raiu, where an umbrella is necessary to successfully land.
Just like Winter Island, which is covered in snow all year round, Raijin Island is also constantly engulfed in thunder and Inazuma, with streaks of blue and white lightning occasionally falling from the sky, giving people a sense of nature's wrath.
This is an island that, unless you are determined to take this route, choose to stay on the island and accumulate magnetic energy, making it an island that people usually don't want to approach.
As Arthur often said, lightning is the most destructive element in nature, and a force that inspires awe in humankind.
Like a god!
But today, this island, which few people choose to pass through, has welcomed an uninvited guest.
Moreover, this uninvited guest was unusual; not only was he not wearing a raincoat, but he also acted as if he were returning home, completely at ease.
The lightning in the sky seemed oblivious to him.
'Crackling and popping—boom!'
"Hmm~ 6000 volts, not bad lightning!"
An Inazuma struck down from the horizon, followed closely by a deafening clap of thunder.
Arthur stood atop a mountain peak, gazing at the scene, and sighed softly.
'Sizzle sizzle...'
As the evaluation faded, wisps of electricity began to swirl around Arthur.
'Crackling and popping~ Rumbling--!'
As soon as the electric arc appeared, thunder rumbled continuously across the sky filled with thunderclouds.
Numerous lightning bolts rolled within the thunderclouds, occasionally emerging with menacing eyes fixed on Arthur below, seemingly poised to strike at any moment.
"50 million volts discharge--"
Like Thor descending, Arthur slowly stretched out his hands, and the arcs of electricity swirling around him seemed to be attracted by a magnet, converging along his arms.
"80 million volts discharge--"
"100 Million Volts of Discharge--"
"120 million volts of discharge--"
"160 million volts of discharge..."
'Rumble...!!'
The whisper was easily drowned out by the thunder, but the lightning on Arthur's arms shone even brighter.
As Volt's power increased, his arms gradually turned completely blue and white.
'Swish--'
At that moment, Arthur suddenly reached out and grabbed at the air. A golden light emerged from the space crackling with electric arcs, condensing into a slender, silver-white Holy Lance.
'Crack--Boom!'
Suddenly, an enormous bolt of lightning descended from the sky, as if absorbed by a lightning rod, and struck Arthur with perfect accuracy.
"200 million volts of discharge..."
The enormous bolt of lightning struck down, but instead of destroying the high ground where Arthur stood, it didn't even shatter a single pebble; instead, it was completely absorbed by some force.
After the lightning bolts dissipated into a sky full of sparks, Arthur's entire body turned blue and white. His golden hair seemed to have been enhanced with special effects, mixed with blue and white light, and even his emerald green eyes gleamed with an incomparably domineering electric light.
At first glance, it looks like a miniature '200 Million Volt Thor'.
However, he wasn't as rough Enel; instead, lightning transformed into his clothes, which enhanced his skin and hair color.
'Zzzzz... Boom!'
His blue and white body stood atop the highest point like Thor descending to earth. Arthur's aura was ferocious, but his expression remained perfectly calm.
The Holy Lance in his hand had somehow transformed into a completely blue and white weapon, becoming the '200 Million Volt Thunder Spear '.
If you were to accidentally toss it, you could shatter the island instantly.
But Arthur's goal was clearly not these things.
The Lightning Power within the Holy Lance has been mobilized to its fullest extent.
This is already the strongest power under Raigo.
However, this was only Enel's limit, not the limit of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Due to his understanding of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Arthur could only push his Lightning Power to a maximum of 200 million volts.
Because Arthur himself did not consume the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it is impossible to develop its Rumble-Rumble Fruit to a higher level.
Now, he wants to take the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to a higher level and break through the limits of his own understanding.
Arthur needs to rely on external power, namely the lightning of Raijin Island.
Just like when Kuzan was on Winter Island, it was as if he were on his home turf.
Raijin Island is also Arthur's home turf.
The place (Nuohaohao) was filled with the Lightning Power, making him feel extremely comfortable.
Moves like '100 Million Volts - Divine Judgment's and 'Thunder Dragon' can be used casually, and they consume less than a third of the usual amount of stamina.
Furthermore, Arthur sensed that he could unleash his ultimate technique, Raigo, which required a large amount of thunderclouds, at any time on this island.
'Crackling and popping~ Rumbling...'
Inazuma incessantly, and thunder roared without ceasing.
From the outside, the island, with its overcast sky and vast expanse of thunderclouds, exuded a pressure several times stronger than ever before.
Even the sea kings below the island can feel the pressure from the higher race, trembling and not daring to approach.
Suddenly--
Thick bolts of lightning, like a torrential downpour, struck down towards Arthur.
Chapter 219 Island-Destroying 'Spear of Sanction'
'Whoosh--!'
Bolts of Inazuma struck down, landing precisely on Arthur.
There was no sound of explosion. Instead, the blue and white energy shield formed by Arthur's '200 million volts of discharge' was twisted in a special way and flowed into the Holy Lance in his hand.
As the Lightning Power surged in, the Holy Lance in Arthur's hand, which was already dazzlingly bright, suddenly grew even larger.
Previously, it was a gentle pillar of lightning; now it is a long, slender spear with protruding blades made of lightning on both the top and bottom.
Even Arthur, the owner of the Holy Lance, felt the Holy Lance in his hand radiating an incredibly terrifying electric heat.
If '200 million volts' is the limit, the lightning compressed by the Holy Lance now is far more than just '200 million volts'.
'Crackling sounds~ Rumbling sounds... Whoosh whoosh!!'
Above Raijin Island, Inazuma and thunder continued unabated, with blue and white bolts of lightning striking down one after another, only to be absorbed by the energy shield surrounding Arthur and flow into the Holy Lance.
Repeating endlessly, in a loop!
The Holy Lance in Arthur's hand transformed from a pillar of lightning into a long spear. The spear's blue and white colors gradually merged together, sometimes turning white, sometimes blue, or sometimes half blue and half white, as if it were vying for control of the next form.
Arthur's right hand, which held the Holy Lance, had already obscured the barrel of the spear in his palm.
