Electric Current Drive Twenty Thousand Volts! S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Reaction (Seeking early reads! Seeking monthly tickets!)
Just as One Piece Lynn was preparing to head to the Sabaody Archipelago to plot for the Magnet-Magnet Fruit.
Marvel Universe.
Lynn sat on a bus, rushing toward another city.
He looked up and glanced at the bus's final destination—New York.
As an international metropolis, New York ranked at the forefront of all America in terms of its population and number of superheroes.
Even if the people at the base had connections with the military or even the upper echelons of America, they would likely have to act with caution within the city of New York.
Lynn's current goal was to find a place to peacefully cultivate his Electric Current Drive, as well as his Chakra and other powers.
After leaving the Unknown Land, he had shared and acquired One Piece Lynn's Observation Haki and Armament Haki.
Although these Haki were weak, Lynn discovered something.
Both Observation Haki and Armament Haki could blend exceptionally well with the electricity from his Electric Current Drive and his lightning-attribute Chakra.
It was somewhat similar to Enel, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit user in One Piece.
When Observation Haki was used in conjunction with electrical abilities, it could read an enemy's "electrocardiogram," predicting the trajectory of their attacks.
Most importantly, it allowed him to hear the inner voices of others.
One had to realize that only by cultivating Electric Current Drive to the level of Magnetic Field Rotation could one typically hear the inner voices of those nearby.
But if Observation Haki were cultivated to its peak and then combined with Electric Current Drive and lightning-attribute Chakra, it would grant Lynn the ability to read people's hearts.
As for Armament Haki, it could be used for hardening by coating the body surface or weapons, or it could be flowed and projected to release shockwaves.
Not only that, but Lynn also discovered that the electricity from his Electric Current Drive and his other abilities could be combined with Armament Haki.
Even Chakra could be infused with Armament Haki, achieving a power where 1+1+1 was greater than three!
A few days passed quickly.
During this time, Lynn switched buses several times and used the Transformation Technique to change his appearance into countless different people.
In this period, his Chakra reserves had increased several times over compared to before.
If it continued to climb, Lynn would truly be able to call himself a human Tailed Beast.
Furthermore, his Electric Current Drive had been cultivated to the terrifying level of 200,000 volts.
Stepping off the bus, Lynn found an alleyway without any security cameras.
By the time he emerged again, he had transformed into the appearance of yet another person.
I need to find a place to test my current strength and integrate my various techniques into a martial art that belongs to me.
He took out a mobile phone he had purchased to check for any abandoned factories or other suitable locations nearby.
Soon, he found an abandoned football field on the map.
"This will do."
Ten minutes later, Lynn arrived outside the abandoned football field.
On his way there, he had even spotted that famous superhero, Spider-Man, among the city's skyscrapers.
The moment he saw Spider-Man, Lynn was somewhat stunned.
Because in a certain sense, Spider-Man was somewhat similar to them, the Mutants.
It was just a pity.
Lynn, as a Mutant, was treated like an animal to be studied and hunted down.
But Spider-Man was different; those superheroes were not like them, the Mutants.
He shook his head, sweeping the thoughts from his mind.
Lynn exerted force with his hands and vaulted over the wall with extreme ease, entering the abandoned football field.
However.
It seemed the football field was not entirely empty.
Looking at the man whose body was constantly leaking sand, Lynn's face remained devoid of any expression.
"I only came here to rest; I didn't mean to..."
"Rest?" A cruel smile appeared on Sandman's face.
With the police and Spider-Man all searching for him outside, how could he possibly believe the words of the kid in front of him?
"You found my tracks and you still want to rest?" Sandman's right hand slowly absorbed the sand from the ground. "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
Clearly, the entire abandoned football field had become the base of operations for William Baker, the Sandman.
For some reason, Sandman could control sand at will to change his physical features.
He could even manipulate sand to launch attacks.
Ordinary physical attacks had absolutely no effect on Sandman.
"I was just passing through."
Lynn raised his head, staring fixedly at the Sandman before him.
His face was shrouded in shadow, revealing only a deep, pitch-black silhouette.
A low voice drifted over slowly.
"I don't want any trouble."
"But you've already found some!"
Sandman grinned hideously. His arm connected with the ground, transforming directly into a terrifying palm six or seven meters long and four or five meters wide, which he slammed toward Lynn.
He was certain that with one fierce strike from his giant palm, he could finish off the guy in front of him.
And he wouldn't have to worry about his whereabouts being exposed.
However.
"Armament Haki, Electric Current Drive, 200,000 Volts!"
The man's low voice came from ahead.
The next second—
BOOM!!
A muscular arm, wreathed in black-and-gold electricity, violently pierced through the massive palm made of sand.
Terrifying power erupted instantly, sending countless grains of sand flying to the ground.
Not only that, but wisps of blood flowed from the spot Lynn had pierced.
This was the utility of Armament Haki: it could touch the physical bodies of Logia-type Devil Fruit users.
Although Sandman was not a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, his body lacked a solid form, yet he could still be touched through Armament Haki.
Intense pain radiated from Sandman's palm.
He hurriedly retracted his hand.
Sandman could clearly see that his palm, which usually could be repaired with sand, now had a bloody hole punched through it.
This bloody hole required him to constantly absorb sand to recover.
Seeing this wound, his pupils contracted sharply.
William the Sandman jerked his head up, staring intensely at the man before him.
"Who... who are you?! Why can you inflict a wound on me?"
His heart was filled with shock.
One had to know that even Spider-Man could not cause him any substantial harm.
Yet this person, whom he had assumed to be an ordinary man, had injured him with a casual punch.
This left William Baker feeling utterly terrified.
Being able to injure him meant that the opponent could kill him completely.
Lynn stepped slowly out of the shadows, his eyes locked onto the Sandman, carrying an inexplicable sense of oppression.
"Just now... you said I had found trouble?"
A chill ran through Sandman's heart.
The man before him was definitely a terrifying figure he could not afford to provoke!
"It's... it's a misunderstanding, buddy." He swallowed hard several times, trying to explain.
"A misunderstanding?" Lynn remained expressionless, unmoved.
"But it seems I've already found some trouble."
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Inside the Director's office.
Nick Fury, with his dark skin, bald head, and single eye, was holding a file.
"Why would Magneto and his group suddenly take action?"
"I heard it's because they discovered a Mutant with astonishing potential," Black Widow said.
She had been out on a mission, but after learning of the Brotherhood of Mutants' movements, she had been recalled by Nick Fury.
"Mutants..."
Nick Fury stared at the video on his computer, lost in thought.
The video showed the footage of Lynn's previous battle with Cavan's squad.
Seeing Lynn wipe out those fully armed soldiers, a flicker of disgust crossed Nick Fury's eyes.
"These guys... they are still so uncontrollable.
Since Magneto and his people want to find this Mutant, we cannot let them succeed."
He raised his head and looked at the Black Widow before him.
"Natasha, take Bruce Banner and go to New York to find this Mutant, then bring him back."
"New York?" Black Widow raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Yes, New York. We have already detected his mutant energy appearing in New York," Nick Fury said indifferently.
"The original intention behind the establishment of S.H.I.E.L.D. was to protect all of America.
If he does not cooperate and begins to destroy the city, you may take him out at any time."
