Inside the jump tunnel, starlight stretched into a line as the Thousand Sunny Correction hurtled towards its war-torn homeland at top speed. In the tense atmosphere, Nami, watching Allen's continuous breakthroughs along the way, couldn't help but ask, " Allen, just how strong are you now...? We need to know for sure."
Allen withdrew his attention from the distant battle situation, pondered briefly, and sorted out his own power system. He knew that a clear understanding was a prerequisite for effective coordinated combat.
"By the standards of our world," Allen said slowly, "his pure energy level and destructive power should have stabilized at the peak of the ' Four Emperors,' touching a higher limit. But the core of my power lies more in the control of 'authority' and 'essence.'"
He elaborated on his current abilities:
I. Core Origin: Spacetime Torch Dragon Fruit ( Awakening /Sublime State)
• Essence: It has Transcendence the realm of ordinary Devil Fruit and is closer to the embodiment of the rules. The physical body and the dragon soul are perfectly united, and as long as the Spacetime Brand remains, there is a possibility of reunion.
• Energy Source: Deeply bound to the world's fortune, it can draw energy from spacetime itself and has extremely strong restorative power.
II. The Authority of Time (Deepening Control)
1. Time Manipulation: Wide-range slowing, acceleration, and stagnation (effect diminishes against stronger targets). Can locally Time Acceleration on oneself or objects it touches (for recovery or attack).
2. Limited Future Interference: Within an extremely short time (a few seconds), a small number of time branches can be perceived, and a small "correction" or "selection" can be made to the future of oneself or directly contacted objects at a huge cost (such as avoiding a fatal attack or ensuring that an attack hits a weakness). The success rate and cost increase with the magnitude of the interference.
3. Past Information Retrieval: Observe the past information flow of non-living entities. Extremely minor "information repair" can be performed on inanimate objects (such as repairing minor damage to items).
4. Time Anchor: Allows setting a short-term time "save point" for oneself or a specific target. When severely damaged or in an unfavorable state, one can pay a price to revert to the anchor point state (long cooldown, huge cost).
5. Time Attack Skill - Morning Flowers Gathered at Dusk: Extremely concentrated Power of Time, forming an invisible impact. The victim will be forced to experience the rapid passage of their own life (from the peak of youth to old age) or an endless cycle of critical painful moments, causing double damage to the mind and body. It consumes a huge amount of energy, and its effect is weakened for those with long lifespans or strong wills.
III. Spatial Authority (Expanded Creation)
1. Space: Folding /cutting: Skillful use greatly improves range and precision.
2. Space Creation (Prototype): Kingdom in the Palm - It can create unstable micro-space bubbles in the palm of your hand (currently only the size of a grain of rice), and the internal time flow rate can be finely adjusted, with the potential to develop in the direction of "creation".
3. Spatial Structure Control: Strongly stabilize or destroy local spatial structures.
4. Short-distance spatial travel: No doors or passages are needed; near-instantaneous teleportation can be achieved within a small area.
5. Spatial Defense/Attack Skill - Severed Realm: Creates an extremely thin yet incredibly strong "spatial rift" in front of the user or at a designated location, almost completely isolating all energy and matter transmission, making it an extremely powerful defensive barrier. It can also be used as an invisible cutting blade.
6. Spatial Channel Technique - Wormhole: Creates a temporary, small, stable spatial channel to achieve instantaneous teleportation over short to medium distances (limited by the number of people and the size of objects). It is more energy-efficient than short-distance travel and is suitable for tactical relocation or surprise attacks.
7. Spatial Annihilation Technique - Kingdom Returns to the Void: The ultimate application of " Kingdom in the Palm ". It forcibly pulls the target (or part of the target) into and imprisons it in a miniature space in the palm of your hand, and then detonates the entire miniature space, causing everything inside to return to Void. It consumes an extremely large amount of energy and requires a very high level of spatial control. It also requires a long recovery time after use.
IV. The Power of Light and Darkness (Fusion and Sublimation)
1. Bright side:
• The Light of Life Creation (healing, nourishment)
• The Light of Nirvana (soothes energy and restores peace to all things)
• Light Healing Technique: Highly concentrated Light of Life forms a highly efficient healing beam that can quickly heal serious injuries, dispel curses, toxins, and other abnormal states. It is also remarkably effective in purifying darkness and undead creatures.
2. The Dark Side:
Darkness of Devouring and Concealment
• The Darkness of the Return to the Ruins (Temporary Concept Erasure)
• Dark Devour Absorption: Utilizing the devouring properties of darkness, upon hitting an enemy with an attack or during defense, it absorbs a limited amount of the opponent's energy, life force, or even a portion of their stamina, converting it into its own recovery. It is particularly effective against enemies that are pure energy beings or have abundant life energy.
3. Fusion of Light and Darkness: Power of the Primordial Beginning (harmonizing opposites, Definition the boundary between "existence" and "non-existence," the rudimentary source of all things).
V. Application of the Rules (New Area)
1. Law Simulation: By comprehending " Void " and resonating with the " World Seed ", one can briefly simulate the characteristics of various basic laws (fire, ice, gravity, etc.). Although the power is not as great as that of a specialist, it is extremely tactically deceptive and adaptable.
2. Law Resistance: Possesses extremely high resistance to the erosion of foreign laws, mind control, and conceptual attacks.
3. Will Fusion: Can guide and fuse the will traits of allies to form a " Will Lighthouse " or enhance one's own attack/defense.
VI. Ultimate Technique (Extreme Consumption)
1. Spacetime Returns to Annihilation: Causes the complete annihilation of local spacetime, returning to the origin.
2. My Way Is the Sea Route: Forcibly opening a spacetime Sea Route with free will, ignoring some rules and restrictions.
3. Space-Time Dragon Roar - Law's Return to Silence: A roar of laws containing its own "Dao", capable of interfering with, disintegrating, and covering the target's law system.
4. Definition Existence (Defensive): Anchoring one's own existence in an environment of absolute Void or denial of laws, and not being assimilated.
VII. Special Items/Status
• World Seed (Prototype): Contains the primordial power to stabilize and strengthen the World Barrier. It can passively enhance Allen's connection with the world. The effects of active use are unknown (requires further growth or specific conditions).
Dragon Soul Imprint: The essence of the soul is sublimated, and the will is undying.
In summary, Allen's current combat power cannot be simply measured by "destructive force." He is a powerful being on the rule-side, wielding the three supreme powers of time, space, and light and darkness, and possessing a variety of offensive, defensive, support, and control skills. New skills such as " Morning Flowers Gathered at Dusk Severed Realm Severance" (space defense), " Wormhole " (tactical mobility), " Kingdom Returns to the Void " (space annihilation), " Light Healing Technique " (high-efficiency healing), and " Dark Devour Absorption " (combat recovery) greatly enrich his tactical options, allowing him to play a crucial role in one-on-one battles, group battles, protracted warfare, and support roles. In specific situations (such as defense, resisting law invasions, and opening paths), he can Transcendence the Four Emperors in effectiveness. His destructive power in a direct confrontation may be comparable to that of a peak Four Emperors, but his methods are more diverse and difficult to defend against, and his survivability and endurance in prolonged combat are extremely strong. His future growth direction lies in cultivating the " World Seed," deepening his understanding of the " Power of the Primordial Beginning," and comprehending and integrating more fundamental laws of the universe.
After Allen's clear explanation, the cabin fell silent. Despite witnessing his growth along the way, the crew was still both impressed and reassured by his systematic understanding of the authority he now held.
"What a monster..." Zoro muttered to himself, a hint of eager anticipation in his eyes.
"Great! With you here, we'll definitely beat those guys!" Luffy was as confident as ever.
"Then, let's devise a strategy," Sabo's voice came through the communicator. "Based on Allen's abilities, we can coordinate like this..."
At the end of their journey home, the flames of war have already begun. And the Straw Hat Pirates, carrying newfound power and a clearer understanding, are preparing to deliver a crushing blow to any invaders who dare to once again trespass upon their home!
