Wrath only staggered back two or three steps, while Satotz was forced to retreat seven ht steps before finally steadying himself. It was Satotz who had stopped Wrath’s punch. "I won’t let you y a hand on Mr. Larry!" Satotz stood his ground in front of Wrath. His stance was firm—like an unyielding wooden stake rooted in the depths of a raging ke. No matter how strong the current, he refused to be swept away.
Despite the clear differen power, Satotz didn’t waver. As a seasoned Hunter, fag oppos strohan himself was nothing new. He had long since grown aced to it. Because a fight between Nen users was never just about raw strength.***Name: SatotzStrength: B+ to A-ype: Manipution Abilities: Satotz possesses a unique ability that allows him to gee an invisible field that only he perceive. While the field is active, it steadily es his Nen, requiring careful aura ma. Within this space, aitive as performed by his oppo gradually increase their susceptibility to his trol. The more they repeat the same movements, the deeper they fall into his influence. Once a certain threshold is reached, Satotz impose a powerful restri, immobilizing them for aended duration. However, simply standing still does not tribute to this effect, f his oppos to either fight cautiously or risk being trapped.***This was why Satotz dared to face Wrath head-on. His Nen ability allowed him to trol his oppo by mimig their as. If Wrath kept throwing punches, Satotz’s ability would eventually force his body into aical pattern—against his will.
Larry had always found Satotz’s movements peculiar while watg Hunter x Hunter. During the first test, his posture while running through the underground tunnel had been unnatural—almost like a puppet being trolled by invisible strings. Now, seeing his Nen ability firsthand, it all made perfect sense.
"Hahahaha! This is fu’s do it again!" Larry snapped out of his thoughts as Wrath and Satotz tiheir furious exge of blows.
Within seds, they had already cshed fists seven ht times. Surprisingly, Satotz mao hold his ground in direbat. But there was a cost—his aura was depleting at an arming rate.
Satotz’s Nen was trated primarily in his fists, making his attacks powerful. However, to maintain his defenses, he had to stantly redistribute his aura to different parts of his body. He wasn’t just enduring Wrath’s attacks—he was maniputing the flow of his own aura with expert trol. This was the true art of Nen bat.
Fortification ("Ko") is a teique that bien and Ren, allowing the user to trate a high density of aura into a specific part of their body. This focused enha drastically increases both offensive and defensive power, making it highly effective in direbat. However, this teique es with a signifit risk—by trating aura in one area, the rest of the body is left vulnerable to attacks.
Flow ("Ryu"), oher hand, is a more dynamic teique that ehe user to shift aura fluidly across their body iime. This adaptability allows for rapid adjustments in both offense and defense, ensuring that the user reinforce a specific area just before an attads. Mastery of Flow requires both speed and precision; a skilled practitioner redistribute aura seamlessly, but any miscalcutioher uimating an ining attack or overpensating with excessive aura— be deadly.
Most mid-tier Nen users naturally synize their attack speed with their aura flow, but a ck of refined trol lead to serious weaknesses. Uimating an oppo’s power may result in insuffit defense, leaving them open to devastating attacks. versely, overitting too much aura for defense wastes valuable aura that could have been utilized for offense, disrupting their overall bat efficy. A true master—like Biscuit Krueger—could distribute aura with near-perfect efficy, ensuring not a single drop was wasted.
Satotz wasn’t at that level, but he was close. His experien Nen bat was the only reason he could hold his own against someone like Wrath—a top-tier Reinfort-Type fighter.
Wrath grinned wildly, his blood-red aura surging like a violent fme. The impact of each punch shook the cave, sending cracks through the rocky floor. Despite his brute strength, his oppo still hadn’t gone down. His excitement grew.
Satotz had mao hold off Wrath for a while, but ah a keen eye could tell that he wouldn’t st much lohe gap between them was still too vast.
Yet, Satotz himself didn’t seem too worried. In fact, his fidenly grew stronger. As aor, his Field Imitator ability thrived in battles against Enhancers like Wrath. Enhaype Nen users had one major weakhey were straightforward to the point of predictability. To put it simply, they were muscleheads who relied on brute force. And Satotz had fought enough of them to kly how to turn that to his advantage.
Wrath had no idea what was happening. With each csh of fists, Satotz’s Nen ability grew closer to activation. A battle between Nen users wasn’t just about raw power—intelligend tactics were just as important.
If Wrath had known how Field Imitator worked, he would have ged his approach immediately. But he didn’t. And unfortunately for him, there was no "if."
As an Enhancer, Wrath thrived on direbat. This kind of brawl was his favorite kind of fight. He was so excited about finally meeting a worthy oppohat he was already thinking about letting Satotz die with his body intact.
On Satotz’s end, this wasn’t his first rodeo. Whenever he entered an enemy, he would iionally disguise himself as an Enhancer—engaging in close-quarters bat right away. The first reason was that Enhancers rarely had "tricky" Nen abilities, making oppos lower their guard.
The sed reason was that the more the oppo repeated the same movements, the stronger his ability became. And ohe limit was reached— The fight would end instantly.
While Satotz focused on holding his ground, Piyon was far from idle. Her fingers moved rapidly over her pink rabbit-ear phoapping so fast they almost blurred. She knew she couldn’t directly participate in the fight. Her own bat ability was only at B-rank, and against someone like Wrath, she wouldn’t st three moves.
Instead, she did what she did best—gathering intel and analyzing the enemy’s Nen abilities. She khat the Seven Deadly Sins were infamous, but only a handful of people had ever survived to dot their abilities.
Luckily, Wrath’s ability was one of the easiest to figure out. He had no iion of hiding it, nor did he care if people knew. Simply put, healing himself by dealing damage made him a monster in long battles. So Piyon focused her sear potential weaknesses. She had no idea what Satotz’s ability was, either.
Like most Nen users, he kept it a secret. Unless someone had an Enhaype ability, they rarely shared how their Nen worked.
