One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

Sengoku looked at the three admirals and said, "You can take your share. Sakazuki and Kuzan will secretly protect the ships transporting the enhancement stones later."

The three generals also stood up from the sofa.

Strengthening stones are great stuff.

A lewd smile played on Kizaru's lips. "Now perhaps I can try to strengthen the Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi again..."

"I wonder how terrifying a weapon enhanced to +13 or even +14 would be!"

Chapter 66 Strengthening from Scratch

Admiral Kizaru had long harbored this idea in his mind; his Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi was formed by condensing light energy particles using the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Even if it breaks.

It can also be reassembled and strengthened 12 times.

Nothing beats strengthening oneself, no matter how much gold or silver one possesses, provided one doesn't touch their "retirement fund."

And next up is the time to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, so being strong is the most important thing.

Strengthening is power!

I'm getting old, and my abilities have mostly reached their limit.

He thought to himself, "I may not exert myself fully, but I still need to have a few trump cards up my sleeve. That way, I can feel at ease. After all, Whitebeard is a terrifying guy!"

Hearing that Kizaru wanted to further enhance the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi.

Everyone in the room became interested, their eyes gleaming as they stared at Kizaru.

A glint flashed on the frog-shaped glasses on Sengoku's face, and he said with a hint of anticipation in his voice, "This idea can indeed be tried now. I've never seen a weapon that has been enhanced 13 times before, so it's a good opportunity to see the difference between enhancement 12 and enhancement 13."

"At the same time, it also helps us understand the probability involved."

He had considered using a batch of enhancement stones for experiments, but the number of enhancement stones was scarce, and it was necessary to improve the navy's military strength.

It's nothing.

This time, nearly 2 enhancement stones were distributed to some of the naval admirals, which can be considered as something entrusted to them for private handling. How they are disposed of is entirely up to them.

The issues that Sengoku was most concerned about were the difference between strengthening to level 13 and level 12, and the probability of such strengthening.

Vice Admiral Tsuru sat quietly on the sofa, his eyes gleaming, and said, "Then let's take this opportunity to give it a try. The production efficiency of the enhancement stones should be much faster. The greatest use of the enhancement stones is to help naval commanders with strong combat power improve their combat strength."

"Strengthening 13, or even 14 and 15, are things that our navy needs to test."

While enhancement stones can strengthen cannons and warships, these items are very easy to fall into the hands of pirates. The only option is to target the most powerful pirate crews.

Only by working from the top down can we solve the real problems.

A few days ago, she and Sengoku had witnessed the upgraded 12-level "Pacifista" firsthand, whose combat power was in no way inferior to that of a vice admiral.

He is even several times stronger than a giant general.

However, it also has its flaws.

That is, the mechanically made "pacifists" are not flexible enough. Even now that they have "intelligence", the mechanical pacifists cannot use their physical strength to burst out at speeds that exceed the speed of sound like humans.

Unable to flexibly control body tilting, turning, bending, or twisting.

They also cannot use Armament Haki or Observation Haki.

The Pacifistas are powerful in their attack capabilities and toughness; even elite naval admirals would have to put in considerable effort to destroy them.

Very strong!

Combined with the Ink Dragon Mech, the robots' combat power is considerable. If there were more of them, they would even be stronger than the combined combat power of "100,000" elite naval troops.

Sengoku nodded, agreeing with Vice Admiral Tsuru's words: "The Navy's combat power had already reached a saturation point. Now, with the emergence of enhancement stones and mobile armor, the Navy's combat power has been enhanced like never before, so we must make use of it."

The three admirals, two admiral trainees, numerous vice admirals from the Navy Headquarters, as well as myself, Garp, and others.

Before Hill invented the Reinforcement Stone and the Mobile Armor.

That was when the navy was at its strongest!

In a few years, when the older generation of generals retire, their careers will only gradually decline.

This is also part of the reason why he insisted on making the Ace execution plan and executing him worldwide.

Akainu's cold expression softened slightly. "Last time, it was proven that the enhanced weapon was indeed effective against Kaido, able to break through his defenses. However, the wounds healed too quickly, making it impossible to continuously inflict damage in the same spot. Unless you restrain him, it will be difficult to kill him."

"Perhaps after upgrading to level 13 or 14, we can inflict even greater damage on him, thus increasing Kaido's recovery time and giving us a chance to kill him in battle!"

After listening, the others also agreed, saying that the Navy had been unable to kill Kaido by beheading, hanging, or any other methods.

According to incomplete statistics, he challenged the Navy and the Four Emperors on his own, was captured 18 times, and was executed 40 times.

Yet they still couldn't do anything about Kaido.

Kaido, the strongest creature in the sea, on land, and in the air, has such a formidable record!

Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, is known on this sea as the strongest man in the world in a one-on-one fight.

His dream was to start the world's largest war, a war that would sweep the globe!

Weak people are not worth Kaido's attention!

Because he was impossible to kill, he became a pirate who caused the Navy a great deal of trouble.

The appearance of enhanced weapons gave everyone hope of killing Kaido!

Sengoku's calm heart couldn't help but stir when he thought about being able to take down both Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, and Kaido of the Beasts.

In the office.

Kizaru drew the "Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi" from his waist. "Let me try to upgrade this weapon to +13. Even I'm starting to get excited!"

As he spoke, he took two steps forward, walked to the cart, and reached into the box to take out a strengthening stone.

Everyone present held their breath and stared intently at the Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and the enhancement stone in Kizaru's hand, hoping for the birth of a weapon enhanced to +13!

As the enhancement stone approached the Kusanagi Sword.

The strengthening stone emitted a strong light, and a corner of it began to merge into the Kusanagi Sword.

Seeing this scene.

A hint of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes.

Sudden.

next second.

The light on the strengthening stone began to flicker like fluorescence, its brightness changing like breathing.

At this time, nearly half of the strengthening stones were integrated into the Kusanagi Sword.

Seeing this scene.

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats instantly.

This situation doesn't look like a normal enhancement scenario at all. Is it really going to fail?!

Click... Click...

Tiny cracks began to spread from the point where the Kusanagi Sword came into contact with the strengthening stone, and they expanded and went further as they spread.

With a final bang, the entire Kusanagi Sword shattered, and fragments of the enhancement stone fell to the ground.

Kizaru's eyes widened in surprise behind his sunglasses, then he pursed his lips in a somewhat helpless manner: "It seems that my enhancement attempt has failed this time."

"The cost of forging a powerful enhanced weapon is truly terrifying."

Despite his words about how terrifying it was, his body betrayed him as he unleashed the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit. With a flick of his wrists, a gleaming golden longsword appeared in his hands.

+0 Heavenly Cloud Sword.

Chapter 67: The Enhanced Level 12 Eyepatch is Born

A hint of disappointment flashed in Sengoku's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He said, "As expected, there's a chance of failure when enhancing to level 13. I wonder if the success rate of enhancement is related to the material itself?"

He had already mentally prepared himself for failure. Seeing the Kusanagi Sword shatter made him wonder if the success rate of the enhancement was related to the quality of the weapon itself.

"It's hard to say. A weapon that has been reinforced 12 times is already harder than most other weapons. But we can let Hill study it himself." Lieutenant General Tsuru's eyes gleamed.

The question raised by the Warring States period is indeed worth further consideration and exploration, but these are not things they are good at.

Only by entrusting this experiment and analysis to professionals can we obtain the results.

In the office.

Admiral Kizaru continued to strengthen the Ame-no-Murakumo Sword "from scratch" by using one enhancement stone after another.

Obviously.

He was preparing to try again, aiming for Impact Enhancement 13.

He got up wherever he fell, and it was fortunate that he had a second weapon after his first one broke; otherwise, if it had been the Supreme Greatsword Twelve-Craftsmanship, he would have been much better off.

I bet it would break my heart.

Aokiji was a bit free, so he took a strengthening stone and lay back on the sofa in a relaxed and casual posture, somewhat like Ge You in a relaxed pose.

He looked at the enhancement stone in his hand over and over again.

This lying position made his already somewhat fluffy afro uncomfortable, as it pressed against the blindfold's strap on his forehead, which was tied behind his head.

He reached out to adjust the position of the rope, when suddenly a somewhat absurd idea flashed through his mind.

The enhancement stone should be able to enhance my eye patch, right?

An eye patch that can enhance Armament Haki?

Try?

I do whatever comes to mind, without any psychological burden; it's all about doing whatever I want.

Aokiji removed the blindfold from his forehead, his face showing complete relaxation, a hint of interest in his eyes, and slapped the enhancement stone in his hand towards the blindfold.

A bright light emanated from the strengthening stone, and it began to merge into his green eye patch.

When the light shines.
