Nutrients- Vitamins, Amino Acids, electrolytes. The speed up and harder pumping blood made all of these flow through Leroy at a much faster rate, causing the burning of Carbohydrates, specifically glycogen, to be used up for more. Nourishing his muscles to a point far beyond his natural normal state, and mixed with the Adrenaline caused this to be expounded even more.
And all on top of that, with the greater use of oxygen, oxygenated his blood and muscles. Meant that his explosive power in both his fast twitch muscles and slow twitch muscle fibers were expounded, and that it could be sustained.
If it weren't for his rubbery constitution, the harder pumping along with the faster pace, would've likely torn a valve, which was of no concern with how elastic it now was (Though not as elastic as other parts of his body.)
Tie this all together in a technique, and it meant that Leroy's power was bolstered by multiple fold. Pushing his body to its limits and beyond.
It made his body feel hot, but not unbearably so. And gave his hands a tingling feeling like the jitters of caffeine or that of tense muscles.
"Gear…Second?" 'His body is steaming. Like harsh exertion of hysterical strength, or intense training. All that redness, it would mean that his heart is beating faster, or harder. He's just done what I did.'
"Yeah. I went through a bunch of names, but Gear just sounds right. Like shifting gear position on a boat's engine." He started, referring to an Engine Telegraph. "I gotta say, despite how I despise you. I'm glad I went through all that I have." He looked up, giving a cocky smile to the metal man
"I don't think I could've pulled this off if it weren't through all this struggle." All of the struggle, all of the fighting against tough people that may have even put the likes of his past opponents in a tight spot, it made his body more elastic, stronger, more under his control.
"Phew…." Leroy raised a hand to aim, shifted his footing into his typical stance, fisting pulling up to his check, the steam of his body, and the gentle wind, fluttering his sash, hair and the simple white, rolled up sleeve shirt he wore.
"All this, and it won't even matter. Pointless." Fonias raised his hand again, and twisted the notch three more times, to its max output. Tick tick tick tick, tick tick tick, tick tick tick tick.
Leroy's gaze hardened. Fist tightening. "Gomu Gomu no…" Fonias Launched forward! "Soru!"
"HYPER SHOT!" Leroy yelled as Fonias shot forward at astonishing speed! Only for Leroys fist to utterly out pace and intercept him! The impact was monstrous! It cracked through the Cermite, and sent Fonias flying backwards and crashing into the far wall!
By the time he landed, the shock wave of the sound barrier's eradication finally wooshed around. Each one of his punches had a shockwave that was intense, each one followed by a smoking trail from his steam.
"Gah! Hah! Hah…" Fonias head shot forward, looking around, but Leroy was gone! Only for his breach to catch in his throat, Leroy appeared in front of him again! Swinging a monstrous left hook! Slamming into the elderly man's skull and sending flying across the roof! Skidding so hard that he caused a deep trench across the concrete structure!
"Hyper…" Leroy Vanished again! But he had stretched his out behind himself! "Arbalest! Both his palms slammed into Fonias, struggling to even stand! Sending him flying backwards again in a brutal beat down! "So-"
Fonias Attempted to dash past Leroy and evade! But Leroy hand grabbed the side of his helmet, crinkling and wrinkling the material like fabric "Gotcha!" He gave that sneering smirk, before shifting into a grimace of concentration! Tossing him away!
Cratering again, Leroy had vanished! Leaping into the air and shooting his leg high into the air! "Hyper Mortar!!" The Captain slammed his foot into the back of Fonias! Shattering more armor! "And!" He then shot his hands forward and gripped his concrete! Folding his knees up up! He reeled himself in! Slamming into Fonias's Neck!
"Guillotine!" It snapped and cracked the man's neck and mechanical parts!
"Hrngh…" Leroy shuffled to a stop. A surprised look on his face as a groan of pain came out of the man's throat. He was struggling to get up, but eventually, made it to his feet. "Hah…Hah…"
"Not. Done, Yet." He stumbled backwards, neck bent out of shape, arm the same. Only to click back into place. His hands gripping the side of his face, and snapping it back into shape!
Steam continued to rise from Leroys body. 'Guess I haven't put enough effort into my strikes' "You're a tough Son of a bitch, I'll give you that. But I'm getting past you…"
"Gum Gum…" He shot a hand backwards, twisting and spinning it taught! Steam rising from his limb! "Furchtlose Wand!" Fonias went into a horse squat, arms at the side. Ready to take the strike head on! Leroy dashed forward! "Hyper Javelin!"
Ka Thoom! The fist impacted with such power, such astounding strength that the spiraling fist caused the remaining metal to swirl while the ceramite shattered! Then Sending him zipping across the remaining few meters of the roof! Across the gap! And slamming through the Citadel through wall after wall and then out the other side and into the rapid seas!
"Hah...Phew…" His fist snapped back into place. Looking to his steaming red hands, gripped a few times. "Now to figure out how to stop doing this…" He relaxed his hands and gave a long deep breath and shook his arms out. The redness fading, and the steam dissipating. Leaving only a few streaks of sweat and a cool chill, the tingle disappearing
"Ah…That's better."
"What the fuck was that?!" Standa shot to his feet. Fist gripped as he looked around and then to his feet, the rumbling like thunder was a few miles away.
"I don't know…" A call suddenly came through the rotary phone, the speaker on. "Director Leery! The Grand Royal Judge has been evacuated! But it seems there's been a breach of some sort near the middle levels!"
The man on the phone was cut off as a scream outside of the window caught everyone's attention. "RAVEN!"
"Raven! I'm Here!" Leroy stood on one of the pillars at the edge of the building, voice bellowing so loud that the rest of the crew could partially hear him
