One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

These pink "cute" longswords disintegrated, turning into countless cherry blossom petals that fluttered in the air.

It was like a heavy rain of cherry blossoms.

However, these cherry blossom petals were indeed formed by repeated slashing, and they are not for aesthetic purposes.

They are deadly weapons!

A single, gently fluttering petal is enough to instantly split a person in two, no exaggeration.

Ding ding ding!!

Countless petals collided with Zephyr's mechanical right arm, producing a crisp and melodious sound.

With a tearing sound, the sound of cloth ripping apart rang out.

A long tear appeared on the back of Zephyr's cloak of justice.

This startled him instantly, as the Armament Haki protecting his body began to tear apart!

Right now, it's just the cloak of justice on his back; if he waits until his Armament Haki shatters and the petals fall onto his body...

Zefa could definitely imagine that scene.

Knowing his body would be torn apart by the swirling petals, he steeled himself and unleashed a surge of power in his hands, repelling the surrounding petals.

But the next moment.

The petals in front of him increased rather than decreased, swarming in front of him under Hill's control to block his attack.

The two were originally more than ten meters apart, but they froze when they were only two or three meters apart.

Aokiji stared in shock at the scene before him, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ara ra... What terrifying sword techniques! Every petal is an extremely fierce slash. Beneath this beautiful sight lies a hidden killing intent that is not something an ordinary person can withstand."

"It's unbelievable that Hill's strength has reached such a terrifying level."

With his eyes completely focused on the battle before him, he was thoroughly engrossed in what was undoubtedly a spectacular sparring match.

He simply picked up the bottle, flicked his finger, and the cap flew off. He then took a large, satisfying gulp.

His already warm heart, nourished by the wine, revealed a rare happy smile on his face.

In the field.

The battle continues.

Hill hadn't expected this move to be so terrifying; the +12 Zanpakuto "Senbonzakura" was indeed extraordinary.

His own Armament Haki is not strong.

But this move was still incredibly powerful, much to his surprise.

The petals that filled the sky gathered in front of him, forming a pink wall that blocked Zephyr's mechanical fist.

Meanwhile, the other petals continuously eroded the Armament Haki emanating from Zephyr's body.

"Instructor Zephyr, hehe, how about that? Not bad, right?!" Hill said with a hint of pride. This time, Instructor Zephyr would have to admire him, wouldn't he?

Zephyr's cloak of justice was torn to shreds, with only a small section remaining behind his shoulders; the rest had been shattered by the sharp petals.

"Little brat."

Zephyr glared at Hill, a smirk playing on his lips. "You're getting ahead of yourself."

The words fell.

His arm suddenly changed; Armament Haki surged, forming a blackish-purple aura that enveloped his fist.

Not only that, the mechanical arm started its piston motion, hissing and emitting a large cloud of smoke.

He said earnestly, "Remember this punch well, kid!!"

boom!!!

In an instant, the cherry blossom wall shattered, scattering its contents in all directions.

The enormous mechanical fist slammed towards Hill.

Hill was startled and quickly recited, "The origin of heaven and earth, the root of all qi."

Through countless eons of cultivation, I will prove my supernatural powers.

Within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao is supreme.

My body was bathed in golden light, which enveloped me.

Instantly, his body was covered in a layer of gold. This appearance clearly showed that the Golden Light Mantra had not yet reached the point of transforming Qi into form.

It can only condense a layer of golden light on the surface of the body.

The faint golden light was not dazzling at all.

To be on the safe side, Hill instantly applied Iron Body and Armament Haki.

He was surrounded by three layers of outer defense.

Meanwhile, the internal copper sheet, iron frame, and steel reinforcement also serve as its defensive protection.

Three layers inside, three layers outside!

Bang! ! !

Zephyr punched Hill in the chest, and Hill felt as if he had been hit by a speeding truck.

Do not!

It's more than ten times more intense than this.

Suddenly, the blood and qi in his internal organs surged violently, causing him immense discomfort. A mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, and Hill was unable to control himself, spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

It crashed to the ground with a thud.

Dust billowed up!

Gravel flew everywhere.

Lost.

Hill lay on the ground, his eyes closed. He was not surprised by the result; he had never thought he could beat Zephyr with his current strength.

But losing feels so bad.

He opened his eyes, but dust obscured his vision.

This time I only lost to Zephyr, but if I lose to another enemy next time, will I have a chance to survive?

He asked himself the same question.

I'm afraid not.

At this moment, Aokiji slowly walked over carrying a bottle of sake, looked at Hill on the ground, and teased, "Oh my... Hill, you're not feeling too bad, are you?"

He then squatted down and handed over the bottle of wine, saying, "Want a drink?"

Hill turned to look at Aokiji, grabbed the bottle, and took a big gulp. The liquor burned, and the blood tasted salty.

Intertwined.

He immediately stood up. Although his internal organs were still a little uncomfortable and painful, he felt much better after lying down for a while.

Hill smiled and looked at Aokiji. "Thank you for the wine. It's very good. What's the name of this wine?"

"Sherry!"

Aokiji replied, "This is the sake that Zephyr-sensei and I love to drink the most."

He spoke highly of sherry.

at this time.

Zephyr also walked over, looked at Hill, and said with a smile, "Hill, you're really hiding your strength. I didn't expect you to be so powerful."

"However, you still have a lot to learn!"

Without any hesitation, he snatched the sake from Aokiji's hand and drank it heartily, "Good!"

Zefa laughed heartily, "Hahaha... It's still the taste I like, but one bottle isn't enough. Remember to bring a few more next time."

"It seems like we have a little drunkard here!"

"Hahaha...."

Because he was really happy.

A young and outstanding navy officer, he was also a genius scientist who invented the enhancement stone and mobile armor.

It's incredibly lucky for the Navy.

Chapter 60 Confidence Originates from the System

Hill's bottle was empty; he had drunk it all, and his body's cells were rapidly breaking down the substances in the alcohol.

My physical strength has recovered a little without me even realizing it.

"Thank you for your guidance, Instructor Zephyr. It made me realize that I still have many shortcomings, but I will definitely not lose next time," Hill said confidently.

Go back and quickly manufacture enhancement stones and mobile armor, then go on a lucky draw!

Iron Body, Armament Haki, Golden Light Mantra—these are just a few fancy techniques, but they're utterly useless when it really matters.

Next time, make sure to improve one of my skills first.

The attack is decent right now, but the defense is a bit lacking. Let's focus on improving the defense first.

What hexagonal warrior? An underdeveloped hexagonal warrior is nothing!

We'll talk about it later!

Zephyr nodded, quite satisfied, but instead of praising him, he warned with a stern face, "However, you don't need to rush, the Navy doesn't need you to go to the battlefield yet."

"Focus on researching your inventions first. Your inventions are far more important to the Navy than your strength."

Even one or two powerful individuals cannot change anything about this world.

Years ago, he realized that he couldn't rely on his own strength alone, and he began to embark on a different path.

This path has been successful so far, and the navy is now at its strongest in many years.
