Chapter 246 Breakthrough of the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder

Before long, a bolt of purple lightning shot out from the surging sea and sped toward the sky at an extremely fast speed.

In an instant, they arrived thousands of meters above the ground, and then purple lightning exploded, revealing Kyle's figure within it.

Kyle lowered his head slightly, a claw mark running across half of his chest, from which blood gushed out continuously.

But this only looks terrifying on the outside. In reality, the internal injuries are not serious. The wound is only about one centimeter deep, and Kyle's skin and flesh have not been completely broken.

Even with this kind of injury, it is actually considered quite serious for him now.

Aside from Im, whom he had never fought, the only person Kyle knew in the world who could inflict such injuries on him was David D. Jones.

The other so-called sea kings simply do not have the strength or the qualifications to inflict such an injury on him; in fact, it is almost impossible for them to even injure him.

If we follow the power rankings given by David D. Jones, he is currently at the pinnacle of the King level, meaning there are very few people in the world whose strength can reach the King level.

Based on his current estimation, even Rocks back then was only at the initial King level.

The gap between the initial King level and the peak King level is not small.

Not to mention the difference between the peak King level and the peak General level.

The current admirals and pirate kings are only at the admiral level, with the stronger ones reaching the pinnacle of the admiral level. No one has yet reached the king level.

Therefore, even if all these people attacked him together, it wouldn't put any pressure on Kyle at all.

Of course, he was only referring to the people he knew who possessed that ability; those he didn't know were excluded.

For example, what if Joy Boy wasn't dead? Then wouldn't the other side also have that kind of strength?

Although the possibility is rather small.

But who can really explain this?

Kyle looked down and saw a faint layer of black energy surrounding the claw marks on his chest. This black energy severely limited Kyle's physical regeneration ability.

That's right, this is the divine and domineering aura of Davy D. Jones.

It was precisely because of this divine and domineering presence that Kyle's injuries did not heal immediately.

but--

Kyle had experienced this situation many times before and had experience with it, so he naturally had ways to deal with it.

Suddenly, purple lightning surged from Kyle's body, and countless tiny purple lightning arcs converged towards the black energy at the wound.

The moment the two came into contact, a series of crackling sounds erupted.

It was as if countless small explosions were happening.

During this process, the black energy was continuously worn down and dissipated by the purple lightning.

Just a dozen breaths later, the black energy completely disappeared.

Without the suppression of this black energy, the flesh at Kyle's wound began to sprout new tissue at a visible speed, constantly connecting with each other.

In a short while, Kyle's wound was completely healed, and his delicate skin was smooth and delicate, with no trace of the wound.

Not long ago, his Purple Heaven Divine Lightning underwent a slight change, becoming significantly stronger.

Both its speed and attack power are much stronger than before. After the strength increased, Kyle discovered that his Purple Lightning could restrain this divine dominance to a certain extent.

It is the ability to diminish the divinity inherent in Haki that allows Kyle to handle Davy D. Jones's divine Haki with such ease.

It only takes a little time, unlike before when it would take at least several days to slowly grind away the divine nature within its domineering aura.

After his Purple Heaven Divine Thunder became even stronger, Kyle also discovered that his Purple Heaven Divine Thunder seemed to have reached a bottleneck.

He could clearly feel a sense of being stuck, just like the feeling he had when his domineering aura reached a certain limit and he felt that his strength had reached a bottleneck and was difficult to improve.

Therefore, Kyle can confirm that his Purple Heaven Divine Lightning is indeed stuck at a critical juncture where he is about to undergo a transformation.

Fruit awakening?!

Kyle wasn't sure if it was this thing, but he was certain that once he crossed this threshold, his strength would definitely see a significant, even substantial, improvement.

This is an intuition!

The problem now is that he has absolutely no idea how to break through this bottleneck, and he has no idea in which direction to break through.

Just like when he was stuck at the bottleneck of domineering aura before.

……

Kyle paused for a moment, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

But this thought soon disappeared.

Forget it, if I don't have any ideas, I won't think about it anymore. There's always a way when the time is right, and when the opportunity comes, a solution will naturally come.

Just like his previous domineering attitude, he also knew that he was stuck in a bottleneck and didn't know which direction to seek a breakthrough.

But sometimes things just happen by chance.

His curiosity about Pluto led him to the underwater ruins of the ancient Wano Country, where he met Davy D. Jones, learned about the concept of divine power from him, and finally experienced divine power firsthand from him.

Thinking of this, Kyle couldn't help but smile.

David D. Jones is right. Even if you have reached the pinnacle of the King level, it is indeed difficult to break through to the Demigod level without luck.

Kyle's situation was like that before, but now—

David D. Jones was his luck; as the saying goes, meeting you was my blessing.

This statement perfectly illustrates the situation of Kyle and David D. Jones.

Having experienced Davy D. Jones's divine dominance, Kyle, though still unable to break through that bottleneck in a short time, now knew how to break through and how to open a door.

During this period, every time he came to fight David D. Jones, it was to try to widen the gap.

As he had predicted, after these battles, his understanding of divine dominance had deepened considerably, and he was now only one step away from truly comprehending it.

And it won't take long to get over this, Kyle is certain of that.

A few more times should be enough?

Once he masters divine dominance and breaks through to the demigod level, he will properly 'repay' his benefactor, David D. Jones.

Hehehehehehe!!!

As for now, back to Marineford!
