"Move further away?" Franky couldn't help but be stunned.
"Stop talking nonsense and do as I say!" Cavendish grabbed Franky's arm and quickly retreated.
Feeling the gradually rising temperature, Cavendish's expression became uncertain.
Originally, this feeling of heat rolling back and burning skin, according to his calculations, would only happen at noon.
However, it was still two minutes away from noon, and it had already reached this level.
This made Cavendish think of an absurd reason.
Could it be that he's getting stronger?
Messy thoughts flashed through his mind.
Cavendish hurriedly looked at Kai.
What first caught his eye was the rock under his feet, which was sizzling and burning.
It even showed a sign of melting inexplicably.
"Have you guys felt that the temperature seems to have risen a lot, and why are they running so far away?" Woof adjusted his collar and couldn't help but say.
Kaku's expression changed drastically, and a ridiculous thought flashed through his mind.
Looking at Kai, whose body seemed to have grown another circle, he shouted urgently, "Hattori, quickly investigate this madman. Has he become stronger!"
Become stronger?
Hattori's expression froze, saying, "How could he become stronger? There's clearly no sign of a Devil Fruit..."
"Stop asking and look quickly!" Kaku grabbed Hattori's arm.
If the feeling Kai gave him when they first met was that he was three meters tall, now it seemed that he was at least three and a half meters tall.
The bulging muscles all over his body, like a rock, not only gave people a feeling of more powerful explosive force, but also a cloud of rising white steam was evaporating from his body.
This subtle change might not be noticed for a while if they didn't pay attention.
However, once they paid attention, Kai's body had changed so much in just a few minutes.
The feeling it gave people was completely beyond description.
"K...Kaku, you're hurting my arm!" Hattori reminded him urgently.
Watching Kaku finally let go of his hand, he quickly pulled the zipper on his mouth to the end, saying, "The last time you were so nervous was seven years ago, when you peeked at the barmaid Nalin taking a bath and were discovered. Now you're suddenly being neurotic again."
"He clearly didn't use the power of a Devil Fruit, how could he become stronger!"
The dissatisfied words were muttered from Hattori's mouth.
However, the movements on his hands were unambiguous.
With his hands flying, the Six Styles Enhancement Technique, Combined Hand, was directly unfolded.
Immediately, Hattori looked at the data strength returned by the Combined Hand with a face full of indifference.
However, the scene that caught his eye made his pupils contract suddenly, and his expression became stiff at once.
"Hattori, what happened!" Kaku took the lead in capturing the change in Hattori's expression and grabbed his shoulder again.
"Power...Power Level... His Power Level has become 4,800, an increase of 1,000 points!" Hattori woke up suddenly and replied urgently.
"I just tried to test it a second time, but his Power Level is changing rapidly."
"Now it's 4,900..."
"No... now it's 5,000, and this data is still rising!"
The urgent words echoed in the surrounding sky, as if infused with magic, unable to dissipate for a long time.
Everyone present, whether it was CP9, or even Cavendish and Franky, was no exception.
A moment ago, Cavendish had doubts and guesses in his heart.
But all of that was speculation, and it was completely different from getting Hattori's confirmation.
According to what Hattori said, Kai's Power Level was changing every moment.
Then, when it reached noon, his strength would probably climb to its peak.
Then, how much Power Level would Kai have at that time?
7,000?
8,000?
Or 10,000?
A series of thoughts flashed through everyone's minds.
Kaku let go of Hattori's shoulder, glanced at the time, and shouted urgently, "He said just now that we have two minutes to defeat him."
"Now thirty seconds have passed."
"Lucci, stop dragging it out. Escanor is too strange, quickly kill him!"
The urgent shout rang out like thunder.
The distracted people woke up suddenly.
A moment ago, they had been suspecting that Kai's words were just a joke.
However, as Kaku said, this situation was simply terrifying to think about.
He was getting stronger every moment. What level would his strength reach after one and a half minutes?
Bang!
A dull and thunderous stomping sound rang out without any warning.
With a big step, Lucci stepped on the ground, and the floor under his feet cracked in response.
His figure disappeared in place like a ghost.
Reappearing, Lucci had already crossed dozens of meters and come behind Kai.
Six Styles Enhancement Technique - Razor!
Lucci's right leg muscles tightened, like an iron whip, and he chopped down on Kai's back with all his strength.
This was a powerful kicking technique that he had combined Shave and Tempest Kick, which could easily shatter an iron pillar.
Bang!
The dull sound of metal collision echoed.
The huge impact force swept back like a tide, and there was even a burst of wind.
However, this seemingly fierce and unmatched attack, landing on Kai, only made his iron tower-like body tremble slightly.
"Are you still playing around with probing attacks?" Kai turned his head to look at Lucci.
His right hand, like lightning, grabbed Lucci's ankle.
The sudden scene made Lucci and the others' expressions change at once.
Before he could react, Kai tightened the muscles in his right hand and swung Lucci up and slammed him on the ground.
Rumble!
The ground shook violently, and the thick floor shattered in response.
The huge impact force even smashed a deep pit into the ground.
The dust that was stirred up made the people in the arena dumbfounded.
In their eyes, they had never thought that the strongest person in CP9 would one day be swung up and slammed into the ground.
"It's your turn!"
Kai let go of his hand and didn't continue to pursue, saying slowly.
It wasn't that he liked to be a punching bag, but it was just the nature of Escanor in the original story.
His arrogance was that he looked down on everyone.
The quiet words, falling into his ears, gave people an extremely annoying feeling.
Especially, when placed in Lucci's ears, it was simply a shame.
Bang!
Lucci flipped out of the ruins, his face sinking at once.
"I haven't fought with anyone for a long time. Since you said you don't need probing attacks, then next, I'll finish you off as soon as possible!"
Roar!
The sound of a tiger and leopard exploded like thunder.
The sound of bones cracking rang out.
His body, which was more than two meters tall, quickly bulged.
Mottled yellow skin quickly covered his body, and sharp black claws spat out, flowing with a soul-stirring cold light.
In the blink of an eye, his body, which was originally more than two meters tall, reached more than three meters.
