One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

Without saying a word, Sengoku began to infuse himself with Armament Haki, his face gradually shifting from shock to excitement: "It really...it really has increased by about half!"

excitement!

He was so excited that his tall and strong body trembled slightly.

His gaze instantly locked onto Hill, and he smiled with a mixture of emotion and delight: "What a genius! To be able to create such a magical thing is amazing. The enhancement stone can definitely boost the Navy's combat power by several levels."

"Then we'll be able to wipe out those vicious pirate forces on the high seas in one fell swoop!"

At this moment, he was full of confidence.

The appearance of the strengthening stone gave him a glimpse of a bright future.

A bright and hopeful tomorrow.

Sengoku walked up to Hill, his expression becoming serious. He patted Hill on the shoulder and said, "The Navy will certainly not treat you unfairly for your contributions, but this matter needs to be kept secret."

"So we can't let too many people know about it yet."

Hill nodded, indicating that he understood.

Sengoku returned the "Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi" to Kizaru, looked at the remaining enhancement stones on the table, and picked up the Den Den Mushi.

Not long after.

One after another, heavyweight naval figures entered the office.

Admiral Akainu, Admiral Aokiji, Vice Admiral Garp, and Chief of the General Staff of the Navy, Vice Admiral Tsuru.

Click.

Garp, eating a donut, made a crisp cracking sound as he shouted, "Hey, Sengoku, what's the rush to gather everyone here? Is one of the Four Emperors up to some trouble again?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru's focus was completely different. As soon as she entered the office, she noticed Hill's presence, but she had no recollection of Hill whatsoever.

However, from Hill's white research uniform, Tsuru immediately recognized Hill's identity.

Personnel of the Naval Science Unit.

Then, Tsuru noticed Kizaru, who was admiring a golden longsword, his face beaming with obvious happiness.

Immediately, a guess formed in my mind.

However, she didn't say anything, walked to the sofa, sat down, and noticed the pile of "stones" on Zhan Guo's desk.

Akainu's face was deep and somber, revealing nothing of his thoughts; he was as cold as a stone.

On the contrary, Aokiji, the Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit user, had a faint smile on his face: "Mr. Garp, I don't think it has anything to do with the Four Emperors. If it did, the atmosphere wouldn't be so light and cheerful."

The crane beside him nodded, agreeing with Aokiji's deduction.

"good."

Sengoku's face was beaming with excitement: "I called you here today because of the Naval Science Unit. This Hill has invented something that is extremely important for the Navy."

"Strengthening Stone!!"

He pointed to the pile of stones on the desk.

It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

All eyes were on the pile of stones on the desk.

Lieutenant General Garp, completely uninterested, picked his nose and said without any regard for appearances, "What's so special about this pile of rocks?!"

"Looking at it from all angles, it's just a pile of ordinary stones."

Chapter 12 Lieutenant General Tsuru's Sudden Idea

“Then you’ve misjudged!” Sengoku said with a mysterious smile. “Borusalino, show everyone your Ame-no-Murakumo sword.”

Kizaru walked to the center of the group and displayed the newly redesigned Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi to them.

Sengoku then said, "Everyone, take a look and see what's different about this sword compared to the others?"

Everyone couldn't help but take a closer look at the longsword in Kizaru's hand.

"Sengoku, you must be mistaken. This isn't Borsalino's Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi at all. Could it be some other longsword you found somewhere?" Garp immediately stepped forward and examined the golden longsword in Kizaru's hand from all angles.

He even reached out and touched the longsword.

It is completely different from Kizaru's previous "Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi".

Lieutenant General Tsuru frowned slightly. Of course, she knew it wouldn't be that simple. She saw the shadow of the "Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi" in this long sword.

The Warring States period wouldn't make baseless accusations.

Could it be that... this longsword really is the "Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi"? But what does it have to do with the so-called enhancement stone on the table?

This left Lieutenant General He completely baffled.

My mind raced, connecting the dots between them.

But when you connect light energy with 'stones' and combine them into this incredibly sharp longsword, a thought pops into your head: Could this longsword be made from these stones?!

Both Akainu and Aokiji had questions on their faces.

Sengoku stated definitively, "I can tell you all with certainty that this sword is the longsword that Borsalino conjured with his power, namely the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi."

"But this Ame-no-Murakumo sword has become completely different, and all of this is thanks to the enhancement stones invented by Hill!"

The words from the Warring States period instantly piqued everyone's curiosity.

I also want to know why the "Kusanagi Sword" has become like this, a golden greatsword.

Everyone understands one thing.

That means the key is the "strengthening stone".

This time, the way people looked at the enhancement stone was completely different; everyone was filled with curiosity and confusion.

Sengoku looked at Hill and said, "Since this is something you invented, why don't you explain the function of the strengthening stone to everyone?"

Hill nodded and smiled slightly. Facing several high-ranking naval officers, he was still a little nervous. After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he said, "The enhancement stone is a special invention of mine. It can be perfectly integrated into various things to give them effects, such as amplifying Armament Haki."

"Just now, it was the strengthening stone that changed Admiral Kizaru's Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi, transforming it from an energy lightsaber into a golden greatsword."

"It can also amplify Armament Haki by nearly half!"

His words were startling.

This instantly moved everyone present.

Garp exclaimed in surprise, "Did I hear that right? Armament Haki increased by half?!"

If his Armament Haki could be enhanced by half, then the strength of his Armament Haki would reach an astonishing level.

Let alone Sengoku or Akainu, even if the Pirate King Roger were to be resurrected, he was confident he could punch Roger so hard he wouldn't know where he was.

Akainu couldn't sit still any longer. He suddenly stood up from the sofa, his expression changing drastically as he questioned, "Is what you're saying true? How is it possible to amplify Armament Haki by half?"

“Strengthening Armament Haki is not a simple matter. If we want to improve our Armament Haki, we need to train for a very long time.”

Half of the domineering aura?

Even he couldn't figure out what that concept actually meant.

Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes gleamed with an astonishing light, completely unlike the gaze of an old man. "If the strengthening stones really have this effect, the Navy will usher in a completely new era!"

A startling aura burst forth from his hunched body.

He stared intently at Hill.

Sengoku said with utmost solemnity, "All of this is true, otherwise I wouldn't have called you all here. These strengthening stones are of great significance."

"However, it is also very expensive. The cost of a single enhancement stone is as high as ten million Berries. Weapons can be enhanced multiple times, which is quite costly."

"It's not suitable for widespread adoption across the entire navy, but it can be supplied to naval officers of vice admiral rank and above, which would significantly enhance combat effectiveness!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded in agreement with Sengoku's decision: "Indeed, only naval personnel who are proficient in Haki can fully unleash the power of such a weapon. It is indeed not suitable for widespread use. However, even so, the improvement in the strength of naval commanders is unimaginable!"

"Oh, right..."

As if remembering something, Lieutenant General Tsuru looked at Hill and asked, "You said before that this thing can enhance items. I didn't know that items like cannons could be enhanced?"

boom!!

Lieutenant General Tsuru's words exploded like a thunderclap in the office.

It stunned everyone instantly.

Strengthen the cannon with strengthening stones?

No one had ever thought of this direction before!

Hill himself only considered strengthening defensive equipment, such as armor, and did not include large-scale weapons like cannons in the scope of strengthening.

Lieutenant General Tsuru's words were startling.

Sengoku's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement: "If this enhancement stone could really be used on the cannons..."

"Just thinking about it is insane."

Akainu, however, didn't care. He walked up to Kizaru and said directly, "Let me try this sword. I want to see the specific effects of Armament Haki amplification."

No amount of words can express the depth and reality of actual experience.

He wanted to try out the weapon with the supposedly nearly 50% increase in power to see what it actually did.

"Give."

Kizaru's face was filled with excitement. "This sword will definitely surprise you. There is no sword that can satisfy me more than this one."

Upon picking up the Kusanagi Sword, Akainu sensed a different kind of light energy than before, confirming that the sword in his hand was indeed a sword.

"The sharpness of this sword... is astonishing, it's not necessarily inferior to those Supreme Grade Swords," Akainu commented, even though swordsmanship wasn't his forte.

However, his swordsmanship far surpasses that of most people.

Because his talent far surpasses that of ordinary people, he is a naval genius who has also achieved considerable success in learning swordsmanship.

Kizaru teased, "Try using Armament Haki."
