One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

Akainu immediately used Armament Haki.

An aura of dominance flowed from his hand into the longsword, instantly causing a change.

Its domineering aura became even more intense, and its strength increased by an astonishing rate.

Akainu's expression changed, his eyes widening as he stared at the longsword in his hand. "My Armament Haki has increased this much?!"

"Is this the effect of the strengthening stones?!"

My heart was filled with disbelief.

Aokiji, who witnessed all of this, also looked surprised and laughed, "It seems that the enhancement stone is really a magical invention. Since Borsalino's Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi can be enhanced, then my Ice Blade should also be able to be enhanced."

"It seems we should all put more effort into our swordsmanship," Aokiji said with some emotion.

Since acquiring the Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit, his swordsmanship training has gradually fallen behind, and he has focused more on developing the fruit and Haki.

Now that we have the enhancement stone, which can enhance Armament Haki by nearly half, how can we not use such a "divine" weapon?

Akainu nodded. "That's true, but compared to swordsmanship, fists suit me better."

"I also enjoy the thrill of punching people, but it's quite troublesome to always carry a weapon," Lieutenant General Garp said with some regret.

He preferred the direct, hard-hitting style of boxing to swordsmanship.

Moreover, swordsmanship is not suitable for everyone.

Lieutenant General Tsuru suddenly laughed and said, "If you like using your fists, you can use enhancement stones to enhance your gauntlets!"

A single word brought joy to the person in my dream.

Karp slapped his forehead, his face beaming with delight, as happy as a child. "That's right! How come I didn't think of that?"

"Just reinforce the gauntlets."

Akainu, who was in the room, immediately became interested and took out a pair of black leather gloves from his pocket. These gloves were unusually tough and were not made of ordinary materials.

Akainu looked at Fleet Admiral Sengoku and pleaded, "Sengoku, I'd like to try using an enhancement stone to strengthen my gloves. If the enhancement stone can also amplify Armament Haki in the gloves..."

"Then let's give it a try." Sengoku smiled and readily agreed.

This is top news for the Navy. These people in front of us are the Navy's most powerful fighting force at present. If their strength can be further improved...

This is of great significance in eliminating pirates.

Akainu looked at Hill with curiosity and admiration in his eyes, "The Navy Science Unit is lucky to have someone like you. I'll leave these gloves to you. Please help me upgrade them."

Akainu, who is usually impolite to others, changed his attitude at this moment.

"It's alright, it's all part of my job." Hill naturally wanted to build a good relationship with the group of highly skilled marines in front of him, and he gladly accepted Akainu's goodwill.

One hand holds a gauntlet, the other a strengthening stone.

Hill was stunned.

Gloves come in pairs, so if you really want to enhance them, wouldn't it cost twice as many enhancement stones for each pair of gloves?

Two upgrades to level 12 equal 24 upgrades, which is equivalent to an investment of 240 million Berries.

How wealthy must one be to afford such an astronomical expense?

Hill, still hoping to give it a try, placed both gloves in her left hand and picked up the enhancement stone with her right hand, placing it between the two gloves.

At this moment.

Hill's actions drew the attention of everyone in the room. Whether it was Kizaru, who had seen the enhancement stone before, or Sengoku, their faces and eyes were filled with anticipation.

If the gauntlets can be successfully upgraded, then it means that Vice Admiral Tsuru's previous suggestion to use the upgrade stones on the cannons also has a very high probability of success.

In just a few seconds.

The enhancement process was completed under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Akainu was extremely concerned about the result, and the moment it ended, he immediately asked Hill, "How did it go? Did you succeed?"

"Ok!"

Hill nodded: "It worked!"

However, the slight disappointment on his face caught Sengoku's attention. "Hill, is something wrong?"

"Could it be that after the enhancement, the gloves no longer have the function of amplifying Armament Haki?"

Sengoku's question immediately made Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, and the others' hearts leap into their throats.

All eyes were fixed on Hill's face. Hill shook his head. "No, it's that you can only enhance one glove at a time. Enhancing a pair of gloves costs twice as much as a regular weapon."

He couldn't help but think of Zoro's three-sword style, which would be worth 360 million if he had three swords, and even more if Hachi had six swords.

On the high seas, there are also those who use multiple weapons, and the cost of upgrading them is simply astronomical.

Akainu said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if it costs twice as much. As long as it can improve my Armament Haki, it's no big deal!"

After all, as a naval admiral, his annual salary and the rewards he receives for capturing pirates are quite substantial.

Two hundred million pegories is a small matter to him.

Hill smiled. The group of people around him were not only at the pinnacle of strength in the pirate world, but their wealth also far surpassed that of many others.

The Navy and the World Government are truly wealthy and powerful.

The cost of a single warship in the headquarters is no less than one billion, and the cost of a Navy pacifist is roughly the same.

The navy is known as the master of the sea, and for good reason.

We have money and manpower!

Akainu seemed a little impatient, abandoning his usual composure and urging, "Sheele, hurry up and upgrade these gloves for me, I can't wait!"

"it is good!"

If no one else feels sorry for her, why should Hill feel sorry for her?

He was even hoping these people would use more enhancement stones, so that he would be the only one left to make enhancement stones, thus gaining a massive amount of points.

One enhancement stone after another disappeared.

It took a full 24 enhancement stones to completely enhance the pair of gloves in front of me.

+12 Gloves complete!

When Akainu picked up his gloves, he had a strange feeling. The gloves were so tough that even if you slashed at them with a sword, you might not be able to make a mark.

With intense surprise in his eyes, Akainu, who was usually stern, showed a rare smile as he put on the gloves.

"The gloves are more flexible, snug, and fit perfectly!"

As he spoke, he began to condense Armament Haki on his fist. The dark purple Armament Haki appeared on Akainu's fist like a burning fireball.

Karp's eyes lit up with stars, his gaze burning with fervor: "That punch was incredible!"

Chapter 14 Garp's Envy, Enhanced Cannon

"I've never bothered with weapons against enemies before, but now, please give me a pair of these gauntlets, no matter what!" Garp shouted urgently.

Like a child clamoring for a new toy.

Hill smiled slightly. Sure enough, no one can escape the "it smells so good" phenomenon. The temptation of something that can amplify Armament Haki by nearly half.

Don't push your luck too far!

Thirty-six of the eighty enhancement stones have already been used, leaving forty-four.

Kizaru's Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and Akainu's gauntlets have both been upgraded. Sengoku, naturally, couldn't afford to favor one over the other, so he asked Admiral Aokiji, "Kuzan, what are you planning to upgrade?"

Aokiji used the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit to instantly condense an ice blade. The crystal-clear ice blade was like a crystal sculpture, with wisps of white cold air floating on it.

The temperature in the entire office suddenly dropped, and Hill couldn't help but shiver. He thought to himself, "As expected of a Marine Admiral, he's really powerful. The power of this Logia-type Devil Fruit is too strong."

Hill could hardly imagine what it would be like for Aokiji to use the Ice-Ice Fruit's full power.

The three admirals of the navy have all undergone systematic study and training, as well as many years of combat, to be able to stand at the top of this sea.

Other Logia-type Devil Fruit users include Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit, Monet's Snow-Snow Fruit, Caesar Clown's Gas-Gas Fruit, and Crocodile's Sand-Sand Fruit.

In terms of strength, there is a world of difference between him and a general. Talent and hard work are both indispensable!

Aokiji said, "Let's strengthen this ice blade. Since Borsalino's Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi can be strengthened, my ice blade should be fine too."

Hill handed the enhancement stone to Aokiji, saying, "All you need to do is forcefully slam the enhancement stone into your ice blade."

Aokiji nodded to Hill and did as he was told.

The strengthening stone began to slowly integrate into the ice blade.

Again and again, until after 12 times, Aokiji finally stopped.

The original ice blade underwent an astonishing transformation, the entire sword resembling transparent crystal, which involuntarily reminded Hill of Yan Lu's "Han Guang Sword" from Qin's Moon.

This reminds me of the "invisible sword" in the storm!

Aokiji looked at the longsword in his hand with a look of amazement. "What amazing enhancement stone! This sword is in no way inferior to the Supreme Grade Swords, and is even more powerful than them!"

I couldn't help but marvel at it.

The ice blade before them was completely different from what they had seen before.

Sengoku also burst into laughter, "With the enhancement stones, our navy's combat power will be greatly enhanced. Those pirates will have a hard time from now on!"

A fierce glint appeared in Akainu's eyes as he laughed, "Not bad! With these gauntlets, those pirates should have a real headache!"

"Let's see which pirate can escape from me!"

Sengoku looked at Hill and said, "I'll have to trouble you again. I'll allocate some funds to your laboratory. For now, you can focus all your energy on making enhancement stones."

He then earnestly advised, "But you must take care to rest and don't overwork yourself. You are a scientific genius and extremely important to our navy."

Hill nodded.

He was overjoyed; he had achieved his goal. With the order from Fleet Admiral Sengoku, a large amount of funds would surely be sent, making it easier for him to produce enhancement stones.

Not only can you unlock the next item immediately, but you can also earn points to craft enhancement stones, open a lottery, and improve your strength.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Sengoku looked at the remaining enhancement stones on the table and said, "I'd like to try Lieutenant General Tsuru's suggestion. If we can really make the enhancement stones work on the cannons, that would be another great achievement."
