One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

"I see."

While saying this, Hill was actually thinking that he needed to set up the gravity training room this time and strengthen it 12 times before making any further moves.

He doesn't ask for much; spending an hour a day on it is fine.

I wonder what special changes will occur in the gravity training room after being strengthened 12 times?

His heart stirred instantly, filled with anticipation.

Zephyr smiled slightly and began to explain some of Hill's problems in combat, while sipping his beloved "Sherry".

Her face was glowing; she hadn't been this happy in a long time.

Aokiji looked nonchalant, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Back then, I was just like Hill before me, receiving instruction from Teacher Zeff.

After listening to Zephyr's guidance, Hill silently kept it in mind. After thanking Zephyr, he turned to look at Aokiji and said, "Thank you for your guidance just now."

He had just spoken.

Zefa suddenly clutched his chest and coughed violently, looking pained. He immediately pulled a medicine bottle resembling a portable oxygen concentrator from his pocket with his left hand.

I took two deep breaths before I recovered.

Hill immediately asked with concern, "Instructor Zephyr, what happened?!"

"An old problem."

Zephyr nudged Hill, indicating that he didn't need help. "It's just an old ailment I had. It'll be fine in a bit."

This is a lingering problem he developed after getting his mechanical right arm replaced; many doctors in the navy have examined him over the years.

However, they were helpless and could only use medication to temporarily suppress their condition and relieve the pain and discomfort.

"Teacher, you should prepare for retirement sooner rather than later. Removing the mechanical right arm might be good for your health," Aokiji said with some concern.

Back then, Zephyr resolutely chose to equip his arm with a Seastone mechanical arm, not only to maintain strong combat capabilities, but also to better protect naval cadets.

He also repeatedly advised Zefa to retire early and take good care of his health.

But...

In recent years, there has been a growing number of outstanding naval geniuses, which has caused Zephyr to feel anxious. He does not want the navy to fall into a state of talent shortage in the future.

I'm still holding on.

He persisted in teaching soldiers in the navy, hoping to produce outstanding trainees with the same talent as the three admirals of the past.

"rest assured."

Zephyr gave a strong smile. "My body isn't as bad as you think, Kuzan. Little Hill was easily defeated by me."

"Wait a few years."

"With Hill around, I want to see the age of the Navy."

"I've heard that many new pirate crews have recently appeared on the high seas. How can our Navy afford to lose!"

As he spoke, he looked at Hill with high hopes, a kind smile spreading across his face: "Hill, I firmly believe in the future of the Navy..."

"This is your era!"

Zephyr himself was surprised by Hill's high expectations, as Hill's invention of the Enhancement Stone and the Mobile Armor had already proven him to be an unparalleled scientific genius.

In his mind, even Vegapunk, who was 500 years ahead of the world in technology, was inferior to him.

However...

Today, he witnessed another side of Hill: his formidable strength and outstanding combat talent.

With that kind of strength, he could easily be a vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters.

Of course, in addition to qualifications and experience.

After all, a qualified naval commander is not only judged by military strength, unless...

Zefa dismissed the idea, after all, there were very few general-level combatants even on this vast ocean.

Every strong person has experienced countless battles and killings.

Moreover, talent, hard work, and opportunity are all indispensable.

difficult!

Only three have appeared in the Navy over the decades, and all of them are Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

“My era?!” Hill was stunned, not expecting Zephyr to say such a thing, and then looked at Zephyr with a firm gaze.

With unwavering confidence, he replied firmly, "Of course it will be my era!!"

nonsense!

Even an ordinary person can perfectly grow into an invincible "hexagonal warrior" by adding points.

Is he confident?

confidence.

This was only to be expected, and Hill was simply stating the facts, and... even being slightly modest.

Correct!

Humble, Hill felt that it wasn't impossible for him to blow up a planet in the future, provided... he had enough attribute points.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing the confident and spirited Hill, Zephyr couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You're not modest at all, but that's how young people should be!"

It made him involuntarily recall himself, Garp, and Tsuru, the trio.

"Ah la la la... I believe that the era of Brother Hill will soon surprise the world." Aokiji's cold and lazy face suddenly softened a bit.

As if he had just thought of something, his expression turned cold again. "No, it might be earlier than expected. I wonder who leaked the news about the enhancement stone."

"Now everyone on the high seas knows about the strengthening stone, and Marshal Sengoku is currently investigating the matter thoroughly!"

There are definitely spies within the navy; that's beyond doubt.

The navy is too large.

However, this time it was not only because of the strengthening stone that Sengoku was so concerned, but also because not many people knew about this news.

He is a high-ranking naval officer.

An undercover agent?!

A name instantly flashed into Hill's mind—it had to be him!

There's no doubt about it!

Chapter 61 The clothes and pants shrank.

"Achoo~!"

In the mess hall of the New World Naval Base G-5, Lieutenant General Vergo, the branch base commander, suddenly sneezed.

"Lieutenant General Vergo, you have food stuck to your mouth," a soldier nearby reminded him.

"Ah! Thanks for reminding me!"

"They're there too!"

"Thank you!"

I've only taken two bites.

"It's up again."

·······

Yes.

The first person that came to Hill's mind was that guy named Vergo. He didn't know if Kuma was a spy, or if Admiral Kizaru was a mole.

But this guy is absolutely amazing!!!

Should we tell them about this? But what reason should we give to investigate that guy?

Just as he was thinking.

Aokiji spoke up, "Ara la la la... What's Hill thinking? Is it because you're out of alcohol? You can come to my place to drink with me next time. Drinking and sleeping are the happiest things in life."

Snapped!

Zephyr patted Aokiji on the shoulder and scolded, "Don't corrupt that kid. Everyone in the Navy knows that you and Garp spend all your time sleeping!"

He then looked at Hill with a smile and reminded him, "Don't follow this guy's example. Don't be fooled by his sleeping all day; he's developing his Devil Fruit ability."

“Okay.” Hill chuckled awkwardly, then answered Aokiji’s question earlier, “Currently, only important people like Vice Admirals and Admirals know about the Enhancement Stone. It has also been known to the Marine Headquarters for some time now.”

"There have been no problems so far. Is it because some enhancement stones were distributed to the naval officers in the branch last time, and the news got out?"

He intentionally narrowed the pool of candidates to branch officers, so that Zephyr and Aokiji could make connections and guesses in the direction he pointed out.

After listening, Zephyr nodded, "It's highly likely. It's precisely because the officers involved this time are at the rank of lieutenant general or higher that Sengoku has been having some headaches lately."

aside.

Aokiji glanced at Hill with some surprise. This was a question that the Sengoku Marshal had discussed with the three generals and Lieutenant General Tsuru.

The conclusion is similar, and...

He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Oh dear... this issue still requires evidence. Fleet Admiral Sengoku doesn't want to cause panic among the navy at such a crucial time, so please, Professor Zephyr and Brother Hill, don't say anything for now."

"Teacher, I'll be leaving now, but please take care of yourself!"

Finally, Aokiji said something with concern and then left.

Zephyr's eyes were filled with emotion, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly as he said nostalgically, "Kuzan, don't let his cold exterior fool you, he's actually my favorite disciple."

A proud smile graced his face.

Knowing Aokiji well, he naturally knew the justice that Aokiji yearned for. A look of nostalgia and regret appeared in his eyes. "That passionate little boy back then has become the cold-blooded Marine Admiral he is today. The only thing that hasn't changed is his heart."

Zephyr looked at Hill, then smiled with relief and said, "When people get old, they always think about their youth. Don't worry about it."
