One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

We can only take it one step at a time.

Once the number of pirates decreases, the Navy will no longer need so many Marines, and a large number of Marines will be able to return to civilian life.

More energy will be devoted to naval education and training.

It will gradually form a virtuous cycle.

This world needs not only fierce fire, but also slow cooking.

Vegapunk nodded: "The design of the battle cloud ship is mostly complete and will be finished soon."

"I will definitely complete this task in the shortest possible time!"

His heart was filled with excitement, because the emergence of the "cloud ship" was a revolutionary tool that would completely change the "Age of Exploration".

We are entering an era of flight!

The air is much safer than the sea, and cloud ships are also much faster!

"Dr. Hill, you will take control of the cloud ship and conduct a takeoff test!" Ain was eager to see the cloud ship flying in the sky.

Chapter 210 Warring States Period: Something Big Has Happened

"Alright, let's see what it feels like to fly with this somersault cloud carrying the ship!"

Hill also wanted to see how the cloud ship would perform during flight.

Whether this thing is better or not, we'll only know after it takes off.

He looked at Ain and Vegapunk and said, "You two sit down first, and remember to fasten your seatbelts."

For passenger safety, all seats are equipped with seat belts.

As for Hill's strength, he naturally doesn't need such things.

Ian and Vegapunk immediately sat down in their chairs, fastened their seatbelts, and replied expectantly to Hill, "They're all fastened."

"Dr. Hill, we can begin the experiment!"

"Ok!"

Hill nodded and then walked into the control room of the cloud ship.

The control cockpit is very simple, with only two seats and a windshield; there isn't even a control panel.

Sitting in the chair, he gave the command directly to the Somersault Cloud: "Fly upwards to a height of 500 meters!"

The order has been issued.

The cloud ship immediately began to rise into the air at a very high speed, giving people a feeling of weightlessness.

"Reduce the rate of ascent!"

Hill immediately changed his command, and the cloud ship's ascent speed immediately decreased, and the feeling of weightlessness disappeared.

It felt like riding a roller coaster at an amusement park.

Thankfully, they were wearing seatbelts, which prevented Ain and Vegapunk from being thrown out, but even so, it gave them a fright.

"That takeoff was too fast!" Ain looked shaken, placing her hand on her ample chest to calm her rapidly beating heart.

Then, somewhat relieved, he said, "Thanks to Dr. Hill for suggesting a seatbelt; it turns out it can serve this purpose."

She hadn't understood the purpose of the seatbelt before, but now she does.

If it weren't for the seatbelt, she might have been thrown out.

Vegapunk also spoke up, saying, "This thing doesn't have as many preparation procedures for setting sail as a warship."

"It has many advantages: it's fast, requires less manpower, ignores ocean waves, and is safer to fly in the sky than on the sea..."

Cloud boats have many advantages; their simple control system allows even one person to operate them completely.

Warships are different; they require at least ten people to be on board.

In the event of a major storm, this number of people might not be enough.

It can be said that cloud ships possess many advantages that warships cannot.

Under Hill's control, the cloud ship also rose to a height of 500 meters.

Looking down through the windshield, you can clearly see the outline of the entire factory and also have a view of most of the naval base.

"Fly straight ahead!"

Hill continued to issue commands, maneuvering the cloud ship.

The speed of the somersault cloud was beyond imagination; he could only feel the whistling sound of the wind crashing against the glass in front of him.

"Fortunately, the materials we chose were all very hard; otherwise, at this speed, the cloud ship would probably have been damaged."

"The speed can be reduced."

This speed is even faster than that of an airplane, but fortunately, the Somersault Cloud can be commanded to slow down.

Furthermore, if a "combat cloud ship" is to be built, the hull can be made even more robust.

Ain, in the passenger cabin, exclaimed excitedly, "What speed! This speed is several times faster than a warship!"

"I will be able to spend less time going anywhere in the future."

The clouds outside the window rushed past, and when compared to the naval base, one could sense the cloud ships flying rapidly.

"Anti-gravity technology is truly something else. Even aircraft built with this kind of speed can't match it." Vegapunk was also greatly shocked. With his technology, he could naturally build aircraft.

However, those aircraft were only used by individuals to fly.

Instead of flying like a cloud ship, almost like a house taking off, it can still maintain such a high speed.

This made him even more eager for the "anti-gravity technology" of the Somersault Cloud.

Vegapunk looked up at the sky. Although his view was blocked by the wooden planks, it could not stop the desire in his heart: "Maybe one day, we will break out of this sea."

"To witness the vast universe!"

"I wonder if there are other intelligent beings outside this ocean."

"Do other civilizations also exist?"

His heart was pounding with excitement; perhaps under Dr. Hill's leadership, the Navy would break free from the constraints of this vast ocean.

Arrive at other planets.

Control cabin.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound of a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric telephone snail) rang out.

Hill immediately reached into his pocket, took the Den Den Mushi out, and answered the call.

The Den Den Mushi perfectly mimicked Sengoku's tense and anxious expression, even showing cold sweat on its face.

I don't know how Den Den Mushi (snail phone) senses things.

The Sengoku Fleet Admiral's anxious and angry voice came through the Den Den Mushi: "Hill, something terrible has happened!"

"Sakazuki has been severely injured by the pirates. I've already sent Kuzan with men to provide support. Now, immediately take the Pacifistas from the Science Unit and the Ink Dragon Mechs to provide support!"

"I'll tell you on the way!"

"Borsalino will follow you too!!"

Upon hearing Sengoku's voice, Hill's expression changed: "I understand!"

I'll contact you later!

He hung up the phone. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he knew it was definitely a big deal.

Marine Admiral Sakazuki was attacked by pirates, including Akainu, one of the Navy's strongest fighters.

"Somersault Cloud, return to base immediately!"

"Heading to the port."

Hill gave the order, and the Somersault Cloud quickly changed direction and flew towards the base.

The somersault cloud is very fast.

A moment later, they appeared at the port.

This immediately attracted the attention of countless naval soldiers who were fully equipped and ready to depart in the port.

"Look up at the sky, what's that?!"

"There's something flying in the sky, and it looks like a house!!"

"Reporting, Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, an unidentified flying object has appeared in the sky!!!"

"Fire or not?!"

"How did that house fly away?!"

"・・・"

The soldiers were terrified, but fortunately Hill had contacted the commander on the warship beforehand.

This prevented the navy from launching an attack.

The flying squirrel stared in awe at the nearly three-story-high flying structure in the air, exclaiming in surprise, "This must be Admiral Hill's latest invention!"

"How can such a large house fly so fast? How is that even possible?"

The sight of the white and yellow clouds below the building filled him with curiosity.

Countless naval soldiers also cast curious glances.

The cloud boat landed on the port from the sky.

Hill walked from the control room into the cabin and said to Ain and Vegapunk, "There's an urgent mission. You two go down first."

"I'm going to use the cloud ship to take people there to provide support!"

Chapter 211 An Unprecedented Pirate Alliance

Ain and Vegapunk's expressions changed. Although they didn't know what had happened, they knew something was wrong.
