One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

"With the Gourmet Cell, I can also improve my physical fitness by eating. However, the higher the level of the gourmet food, the better the improvement effect. Although the world of One Piece is different from Toriko, there are also high-level ingredients. Sea Kings are one of them. There are also powerful beasts on the island where Rayleigh taught Luffy."

“Even on the island where Usopp was swatted away by the bear, there’s food everywhere, which can quickly improve my physical abilities.” Hill’s mind raced.

He also understood that what he lacked most right now was combat experience; in fact, he had almost zero combat experience.

Other powerful individuals acquire their strength through rigorous training and repeated battles, while he achieved it almost instantly thanks to the system.

They are severely lacking in combat awareness and experience.

"It seems the task is quite heavy. Not only do we have to take care of the production of enhancement stones, but the next technology will also appear soon, making the task even more difficult. In addition, we also need to familiarize ourselves with the power of growth and combat. The task is arduous." Hill began to plan his next steps.

"I won't rest at night. I'll use the Golden Light Mantra to meditate, which is both a rest and a form of cultivation. It also helps me compress time and squeeze in time to learn combat skills."

Soon, Hill had everything arranged perfectly.

He picked up the Den Den Mushi in the office and dialed the number. Within seconds, a pleasant female voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Dr. Hill."

It was the voice of Vice Admiral Momousagi from the Navy Headquarters.

Hill immediately replied, "Vice Admiral Momousagi, this is Hill. I need your help with something."

the other side.

A heated discussion is taking place in the office of the Warring States Marshal.

“I cannot tolerate trading with pirates. I will not agree to send anyone.” Akainu’s face clearly showed his dissatisfaction.

The fact that the Fleet Admiral Sengoku had arranged for someone to trade with pirates was something he, who hated pirates, could not tolerate.

Sengoku had a bit of a headache, but he patiently explained, "This deal concerns the Whitebeard Pirates, and it's also an opportunity for our Navy to eliminate them!"

Having held this position for many years, Sengoku did not want the seas to remain in their current state. As the Fleet Admiral, he naturally dreamed of one day eliminating all the pirates.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With the Navy possessing all the advantages—timing, location, and popular support—they have a high chance of winning this battle. Their opponent is the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, and even Sengoku isn't 100% certain of victory.

But he didn't want to just watch this opportunity slip away right under his nose.

“If Akainu doesn’t want to go, then let this old man carry out the mission!” Vice Admiral Garp volunteered, seemingly determined to succeed in this mission.

Sengoku shook his head. "Garp, your personality isn't suited for this mission. Let Borsalino go instead!"

"The Blackbeard Pirates are currently on Banaro Island in the Grand Line. Complete this transaction as soon as possible. The Navy will then hold an important meeting regarding this matter."

Garp was dissatisfied and wanted to try again.

"The naval bases in the New World still need you to keep them in check. Only you, Garp, can keep those guys in line!" Sengoku rejected Garp's request without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Admiral Kizaru began his mission, heading to Banaro Island.

Chapter 18 Ace's Other Identity

Panaro Island.

After a fierce battle, the island was left scarred by the destruction caused by Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard Teach, and most of the flames had been extinguished.

Only a few scattered flames remained.

"Hehehe... We're about to complete the most important step in the plan." A glint flashed in Teach's eyes, and his evil laughter went unnoticed by Ace, who was already unconscious.

Van Augur smiled slightly: "That's fate! We missed out on Straw Hat Luffy, but we just happened to run into Fire Fist Ace."

"What's even more advantageous for our Blackbeard Pirates is that if the Navy starts a war with the Whitebeard Pirates, it will definitely attract the Navy's attention and most of their forces, making our plans go more smoothly."

"It seems that all of this was arranged by fate!"

He seemed to be in a very good mood. If this plan succeeded, the Blackbeard Pirates would become one of the most powerful pirate crews on the sea.

At that time, both wealth and fame will be within easy reach!

“Hahaha…” Fighting champion Burgess laughed loudly, “The Navy will definitely mobilize most of its forces to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, it will definitely be an epic battle.”

Burgess's face broke into an exaggerated smile, with a hint of anticipation in it. "What an exciting battle! There hasn't been a major event on the high seas for many years... and this time, it's our Blackbeard Pirates who are igniting this war."

The devilish police officer Lafayette twirled his cane with a smug grin on his blood-red lips. "Our days of hiding are finally over. From today onward, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy will both be focused on each other."

The entire Blackbeard Pirates crew was extremely excited.

at this time.

Van Oka's eyes lit up through his monocular scope, his face showing surprise and seriousness. "Captain, the Navy is here!"

A group of people looked out at the sea.

A naval warship is approaching at an extremely high speed, starting as a small black dot until its outline becomes visible.

Blackbeard lifted the unconscious Ace with one hand and headed towards the shore.

On a naval warship.

Wearing a gold striped suit and sunglasses, Kizaru transformed into a golden light and landed in front of the Blackbeard Pirates, taking in the entire situation at a glance.

"Blackbeard Teach... he became famous overnight, it really frightens me." Admiral Kizaru said with a sneer.

The group of pirates in front of them was indeed not simple, and judging from the battle marks in the distance, the two sides had gone through a big battle, but only Blackbeard Teach had some battle scars on his body.

There were no signs of combat on the other crew members.

This further increased Kizaru's regard for the Blackbeard Pirates.

Blackbeard Teach wore a simple and hearty smile. "Admiral Kizaru, Fire Fist Ace, in exchange for a Shichibukai position."

"Plus a fortune of five billion peles."

Kizaru glanced at the unconscious Ace and said with a smirk, "The position of Shichibukai shouldn't be a big problem. Crocodile was recently stripped of his title, but this matter still needs the World Government's approval, so it can't be decided yet."

"But it's not a big problem."

"But we all think your request for 5 billion in treasure is a bit too much. You know, Fire Fist Ace's bounty is only 550 million Berries."

Five billion Berries is a huge fortune for the Navy, and it's certainly not something they would easily trade to pirates. If pirates were to acquire this wealth...

Recruiting a large number of pirates and purchasing weapons are all considered aiding the enemy. In the future, the Navy will be the one to suffer the trouble, especially since Blackbeard Teach is an ambitious and powerful pirate.

Sengoku has already told Kizaru the bottom line of the deal, and Kizaru has considerable autonomy over the specifics of how to proceed.

Upon hearing Admiral Kizaru's refusal, Blackbeard Teach's smile faded. "This is the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. His value cannot be measured by his bounty. Moreover, he has a very special identity."

"This news is absolutely worth five billion Berries!"

Blackbeard confidently stated that only a handful of people on this vast ocean knew Fire Fist Ace's true identity.

Kizaru's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, held a hint of surprise. "Oh, I'd like to know what other identity Fire Fist Ace might have that makes him so valuable. I'll see if he's worth 5 billion Berries."

"His identity is the son of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger. This information is worth fifty, right?!" Blackbeard Teach revealed the secret of Fire Fist Ace's identity after a moment's thought.

The shocking news broke.

The marines behind Admiral Kizaru all changed their expressions drastically, each one deeply shocked and stunned.

"What?! Fire Fist Ace is the son of Pirate King Roger?! That can't be right?!"

"How could Roger's bloodline still be alive in this world?!"

"Back then, the World Government and the Navy completely turned the entire South China Sea upside down to confirm that Roger's bloodline had no survivors!!"

"..."

Gol D. Roger, the only Pirate King on the entire sea, arrived at the final island, Laugh Tale.

It also ushered in the incredibly wicked "Great Pirate Era," leading countless people to become pirates in pursuit of One Piece, creating the most turbulent decade on the high seas.

During that period, pirates were a common sight on the high seas.

Countless civilians and naval personnel suffered greatly as a result.

It wasn't until the Four Emperors were established and the Seven Warlords system came into being that the seas returned to peace. That period was a dark age that no one can ever forget.

How could the bloodline of that utterly wicked "Pirate King" have survived?

Even Admiral Kizaru was deeply moved. His expression changed from lewd to extremely serious, and his gaze pierced through his sunglasses to focus on Blackbeard Teach's face.

He questioned her, enunciating each word clearly: "Is what you're saying true?!"

Blackbeard Teach's voice was firm: "It's all true!"

"then......"

He also truthfully recounted in detail how he learned the news.

Kizaru finally understood why the other party dared to ask for 5 billion Berries for Fire Fist Ace; Fire Fist Ace's identity was enough to shock the entire world.

"Back then, they searched the entire South China Sea thoroughly, but neglected their own people... Vice Admiral Garp must be having a real headache, right?!"

After Blackbeard's explanation, everything seemed to be explained.

"Fifty billion is impossible, at most ten billion Berries!" Despite the shocking news, Kizaru still did not intend to pay such a high sum of money.

The hot-tempered fighting champion, Burgess, immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "I've already told you Ace's identity, are you going to deny it now that you've got the information?!"

His fists were clenched so tightly they cracked, and the muscles on his thick arms bulged.

Chapter 19: The Deal is Made, Basic Swordsmanship

Lafayette, Van Augur, and Doc Q all had fury in their eyes.

The 5 billion Berry transaction is crucial to their future plans, as they will need to spend a lot of money on pirate ships, weapons, and recruiting pirates.

To establish a firm foothold in the New World, one needs not only great personal strength but also a powerful force. Every Yonko pirate crew has tens of thousands of members under their command.

Otherwise, how could they possibly compete with the navy, the dominant maritime power?

The number of navies is immeasurable, and they are spread throughout the entire ocean. A navy without power can be wiped out at will.

They were completely unable to accept that Admiral Kizaru had suddenly reduced the figure of 5 billion to 1 billion.

Kizaru sighed helplessly, “The Navy needs money in various places, and besides, the Navy’s money is allocated by the World Government. Where would we get so much money to do business with you? Besides, it’s an emergency, and we can only scrape together 10 billion Berries.”

That's a statement...

The Blackbeard Pirates didn't believe it. The Navy couldn't even come up with 5 billion Berries, so who would believe it?!
