Knuckle was well aware of this, which is why his Nen ability was specifically designed around aura management.
His Nen ability is called Hakoware.
The way it worked was…
Bang!
During the fight with Gon, Knuckle seized the opportunity and hit Gon in the face with a solid punch.
However…
"It doesn't hurt at all?!"
While Gon was flying backward, he didn't feel any pain at all. On the contrary, he felt that the power in his body was gushing out!!
"Time is up; start calculating interest."
A voice rang out beside him.
A voice suddenly rang out beside him, making Gon turn his head in surprise, and then he was surprised to find that on his shoulder area, at some point, an angel figure that looked like a doll suddenly appeared.
On this chubby angel's forehead, a number was displayed: 350.
"What is this?!"
When Gon was confused, he suddenly found that the number on the fat baby angel's head had jumped again.
From 350, it immediately became 385.
"Your interest has increased."
Seeing this, Knuckle's eyes became serious and sharp.
After Gon showed his incredible potential and abilities, he no longer held back.
He directly used his own Nen ability.
"I've lent you my aura, and the interest accrues at a rate of 10% every ten seconds…"
He pointed his finger at Gon: "If you don't pay it back quickly, the interest will increase..."
During their conversation, the number on the chubby angel's forehead kept rising.
And its size also began to grow as the number increased.
"This is the Nen beast I manifested, Amortizing Power Redirector. It is immune to all forms of attack and will not actively attack others."
"It only follows the affected target and continuously updates them on the increasing debt…"
"Time's up. Interest calculation begins."
Knuckle's explanation and the sound of Amortizing Power Redirector's calculations sounded almost at the same time.
Even if Gon punched the Amortizing Power Redirector hard and knocked it out, it would still float back to Gon's side, leaving him helpless.
This was the power of Knuckle's Nen ability, designed using his exceptional calculation skills!
Knuckle straightened his back, crossed his arms, and proudly declared the mechanics of his ability: He lent his aura to his opponent by launching an attack.
The moment he lends it, his Nen ability, Hakoware, activates.
Then, he would conjure a Nen beast called Amortizing Power. The Redirector appears next to the opponent and displays the borrowed aura amount.
On its forehead is the amount of aura he has lent out, and every ten seconds, it charges 10% interest.
During the loan period, Knuckle cannot take damage, but of course, his attacks will also not harm the opponent.
The Hakoware uses compound interest, which is a high-interest loan calculated by compounding interest and rolling like a donkey.
If the accumulated debt surpasses the opponent's maximum aura capacity, they go bankrupt.
At that point, the Amortizing Power Redirector transforms into the Individual Ren Suppressor (I.R.S), forcibly putting the other party into Zetsu (Suppress/Null), a state where all aura is sealed for 30 days.
This is equivalent to making the opponent unable to use his Nen ability for 30 days, just like an ordinary person.
After the expiration, the I.R.S. will disappear on its own and leave a message: "Though it pains me, our agreed-upon 30 days have ended. I shall now take my leave. See you next time! Bye-bye!"
Then it disappeared from the spot, and the Hakoware would be lifted.
Additionally, Amortizing Power Redirector grows larger as the debt increases and constantly follows the target, no matter where they go.
At the same time, it will make a sound when calculating the interest, just like what I said just now: "Time is up; start calculating the interest!"
It is quite annoying, and it is immune to all attacks, which means it is harmless and invincible.
However, it can only calculate the interest within a radius of 100 meters centered on Knuckle. Beyond 100 meters, the interest and the 10-second timer for the next interest increase will be stored.
The next time it enters within 100 meters, it will start calculating again.
Furthermore, the Amortizing Power Redirector provides a tracking function.
As long as the opponent is within 5 kilometers, Knuckle can sense their approximate location. Even if the opponent leaves the interest calculation range, the Amortizing Power Redirector never disappears, following them endlessly.
"So you're using a high-interest loan system to gradually force your opponent into a state of Zetsu (Suppress/Null)?"
Gon was starting to feel overwhelmed by Knuckle's complex ability, and his eyes started spinning in confusion.
He was about to execute the special technique Lan taught him but got distracted by all the calculations.
But for Ging, who is a super academic master, such ability is quite interesting.
All in all, Hakoware was a double-edged sword with both pros and cons.
"That said, since it's a high-interest loan system, there must be ways to pay off the debt and remove the Amortizing Power Redirector…"
Ging also thought of some ways to crack this ability.
The first one is to let the debt accumulate until bankruptcy, then endure the 30-day Zetsu penalty and wait for the ability to expire.
The second one is to land an attack on Knuckle, which would likely allow Gon to repay the loan and cancel the ability.
The third one is to force Knuckle to deactivate the ability himself, perhaps by taking someone hostage and using them as leverage.
Just like Menthuthuyoupi did in the original timeline, he used Morel's life as a condition to threaten him and remove his Nen ability.
And the last and most popular solution is to use a Nen Exorcist to remove the curse.
