Late at night, Bright's room.
Bright sat cross-legged on the large bed, experimentally swinging his fists.
King Elizabello had taught him the complete training method for King's Punch without holding anything back.
"So what exactly is this move good for?"
Tesoro, who had insisted on seeing what Bright could do, lounged in a chair at one side of the room and spoke lazily.
"Even if it really has the power from the legends, you have to charge up for an hour before throwing a punch. Isn't that too stupid?"
What kind of enemy would just stand there and watch you keep charging for an hour?
"Though if you can prepare beforehand, it might still have some use."
That was Tesoro's assessment.
Bright could not even be bothered to answer. A faint smile merely played across his lips.
He had finally figured out exactly what kind of move King's Punch was.
The hour-long, uninterrupted fist-swinging warm-up was essentially storing power.
Because the Elizabello Family's bodies were somewhat special, they could continuously accumulate power and store it within themselves before releasing it in a single instant.
Though calling it storage was not entirely accurate.
Because this stored power could not last for long. Once the warm-up ended, it had to be released immediately.
A more fitting description would be compressing a spring. The hour-long warm-up pressed the spring all the way down, then its instant rebound unleashed explosive power.
King's Punch was essentially a move that accumulated energy, then released it all at once with a geometric increase in force.
Naturally, this was meaningless to ordinary people. Normal bodies could not store power like springs; only the Elizabello Family's unique constitution could accomplish it.
But Bright could do it too.
The Giant Lanternfish's energy-storage ability allowed Bright to store energy inside his
