Nen Ability
- Rental Pod (レンタルポッド 「謝債発行機」
Leol is Specialist and has ability to obtain other nen abilities. His nen ability is very similar to Chrollo Lucilfer, Skill Hunter. But however there is a small difference between the two. Leol Nen ability is called Rental Pod (レンタルポッド 「謝債発行機」), lit. "I.O.U. Dispenser". Leol's Hatsu allows him to temporarily borrow the nen abilities of other people. Leol must fulfill two conditions for each ability he wants to borrow.
- First, he must know the name of the ability or have seen it being used.
- Second, he must do the owner of the ability a favor, and confirm acceptance of the debt with a question (along the lines of "You owe me, alright?").
- Once Leol fulfills the conditions, the name of the owner, the name of the ability, and the number of times it can be used (once per favor done for the owner) are all automatically recorded in the I.O.U. Dispenser, a small device resembling an iPod.
If the owner of an ability dies, their information is automatically erased from the machine and their ability can no longer be used. To access another's Hatsu, Leol uses the dispenser to print out and tear up a receipt, which grants him use of the ability for one hour. During this time, the ability cannot be used by its original owner.
