As the Third Division prepared the combat suit for everyone, Shinra didn't hesitate and put it on, as this was what he had been waiting for. While he knew that the combat suit was created by using the body of the Kaiju that was disposed of by the Defense Force member, it didn't mean that this knowledge was widespread, since every country had its own specialty, advantages, and disadvantages, depending on technology, and type of material they used.
Also, as this was also a source of money for everyone, especially those conglomerates that made a deal with the politicians and military, it was impossible for the combat suit to be dismantled by him.
Or, could he?
Anyway, if this country were destroyed, all those people would lose everything. So, instead of money, in this world, what was needed was a power that could overcome every crisis.
So, after he gained the combat suit, he knew he should show it first.
Unlike everyone else, who quickly put on their combat suit, Shinra listened to Kikoru's explanation. "When you wear the combat suit, there will be an indication of how much you can unleash its combat power. The higher the better."
As she spoke, Shinra could hear a mechanical voice announcing the unleashed combat power of the participants, who were wearing their combat suits, ranging from 2% to the highest, which was about 18%, who should be the heir of the Izumo Tech, the company that develops military weapons, including the combat suit that was worn by the Defense Force, but—
"Kikoru Shinomiya, unleashed combat power, 46 percent!"
As expected, no one could be compared to Kikoru.
She might have appeared like a spoiled and pampered wealthy young lady, but the truth was that she worked hard to reach this stage where she could unleash a total of 46 percent of the combat suit.
At the same time, she was also the only child of the strongest soldier in the Defense Force, Isao Shinomiya, and her mother was also a powerful soldier, so there was a high chance that the talent of the two had been inherited by them.
So, what about his talent?
"Go and wear it, Shinra. I want to see what percentage of your combat power is."
Shinra's physical ability was like that of a monster, and his result was the highest in the history of the Defense Force, which was even higher than Isao Shinomiya's, Kikoru's father, and many of his predecessors, but his aptitude to wear the combat suit was different.
Shinra also didn't waste his time and wore his combat suit, which somehow stuck to him and merged into his body like it was part of his body.
'It's easier than I thought it would be.'
His body was hot, and he could feel his entire body grow tremendously as he felt the power of the Kaiju that was used to create this combat suit augmenting his physical attributes.
Everyone also stared at him, waiting for the result, wondering how much combat power he could unleash, but—
"10 percent!"
Oh...
Everyone sighed in relief, feeling that it was a normal number, but—
"20 percent... 30 percent... 40 percent..."
The percentage of combat power continued to increase, reaching 50%, and surpassed the combat power unleashed by Kikoru, who had been trained from childhood to become a soldier of the Defense Force.
"No way..."
"Is this possible?"
"What is he?!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, especially when they found out that it was Shinra's first time wearing the combat suit.
Still, the percentage continued to increase, causing everyone to lose their voices until—
"Uchiha Shinra, unleash combat power, 100 percent!"
"...."
When that announcement was made, everyone was unable to speak and stared at Shinra with shock and disbelief.
Yet, for Shinra, it was easier than he had imagined.
Among the Kaiju, a level existed that was known as the fortitude level, which is a way for the Defense Force to measure the creature's power and its potential threat to humanity. According to the Fortitude level, Kaiju are then classified power-wise.
First, and the weakest, was known as a Yoju, a smaller kaiju which usually has a fortitude number below 6.0 magnitude. Some Yoju can have a fortitude number above 6.0, which is about the same level as Honju, a strong Kaiju one level above Yoju, but it is a rare case.
Secondly, Honju, the biggest and most powerful kaiju, and the one who generates and guides all the other Yoju through their proliferative organs. Their fortitude level is usually above 6.0. A Honju with a fortitude level of 6.4 would require an entire Platoon of Defense Force soldiers to defeat it, and only a Captain or Vice-Captain could defeat one alone.
Usually, only Yoju or Hoju appeared in the area, but above them, a special case known as Daikaiju also existed—a distinct category of kaiju. It is the name given to particularly strong kaiju, whose fortitude level exceeds 8.0.
Lastly, the most powerful Kaiju known as the Identified Kaiju is extremely powerful and has a fortitude level of 9.0 or higher.
The combat suit is usually created by using the body and organs of the Yoju.
Yes, it might be possible to create a stronger combat suit or a weapon by using the body of the stronger Kaiju, but to use such a combat suit or a weapon was on another level since a human body wasn't strong enough to wield such a monstrous power unless they were like Shinra, whose body was special due to being a ninja and also gained the unique physical ability of the human in the world of One Piece.
Bellamy might not be the strongest, but he had the potential to become a pirate with 195 million berries.
While this guy might not be the strongest in the world of One Piece, it was a different problem in this world where most humans were just ordinary humans.
Naturally, wielding the 100% power of a combat suit that was created from the body of a Yoju was nothing for Shinra, as this type of Kaiju was the weakest that could be killed by him with a pure martial arts technique.
Yet, without a doubt, when he showed such an ability, it stunned all of them and caused all of them to be unable to react, especially when Kafka's unleashed combat power was about zero percent.
Regardless, while this combat suit was amazing as it could give a human's physical ability of that of a Kaiju, even if it was the weakest one, it was amazing, but naturally, this augmentation couldn't be done forever as it would take a toll on the body of the user and spirit.
Probably, no, in most cases, the majority of the soldiers of the Defense Force died young due to the combat forces and weapons that reduced their lifespan and energy.
This was also the reason why many soldiers of the Defense Force were young, since many of the older ones were either retired, moving to the management area, or had passed away in the mission.
Still, at that moment, without a doubt, the strongest soldier in the Defense Force was about to be born.
