One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

"Enhancement stones?!"

The white-bearded man's eyes flickered slightly, and a smile played on his lips. "I didn't expect the underworld to be able to get their hands on enhancement stones. If they want to auction them off, it seems they've invited quite a few people this time."

"Kurarara... What an ambitious guy."

The news of the strengthening stone spread throughout the entire ocean some time ago, causing quite a stir at the time.

Marco, standing nearby, was also quite surprised. "I've heard that enhancement stones can amplify Armament Haki, and by a significant amount, enough to fundamentally change a person's strength."

"They're actually putting something like this up for auction?"

He then frowned and said, "It seems that Doflamingo is just trying to stir up trouble in this sea."

The fact that such a powerful item is being put up for auction is clearly an attempt to strengthen other powers in the world and plunge this ocean into chaos once again.

Marco suddenly laughed again, looking at Whitebeard with great interest, "Dad, let me go and take a look at this auction. If the enhancement stones can make your Armament Haki stronger, I'm afraid even Kaido won't be able to withstand your attacks."

Old Man Whitebeard is known as the strongest man in the world.

If we use enhancement stones to enhance Dad's Cloud Cutter, wouldn't Dad become even more powerful?

Whitebeard didn't agree immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then you and Vista will go together this time. Remember to find out about Ace. I'm still a little worried about him."

“Okay, Dad,” Marco replied.

On an unnamed island in the New World.

A crackling sound came from the forest; it was the sound of dead wood and branches burning.

Shanks stood shoulder to shoulder with the round, almost spherical Lucky Luke, his right hand holding a wooden goblet-like wine glass.

It was filled with purplish-red wine.

His face showed a joyful and intoxicated expression, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and he sang a pirate song.

Raki Lu, standing beside him, was completely focused on the delicious chunk of meat in his hand.

Dozens of people were having a banquet around a bonfire.

Ben Beckman sat quietly on a fallen tree trunk, one foot on the trunk, his arm resting on it, a cigar between his fingers.

He chuckled. "These guys always get completely drunk at every banquet they hold."

His face always carried a calm and quiet demeanor, giving people a very reliable and trustworthy feeling.

He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and with a cross-shaped scar on his left temple, he looked quite like a gangster boss.

Suddenly.

His expression shifted, and he slightly turned his head to look into the forest. "Ah, it's the newcomer, Loxda."

Ben Beckman came into view of a man with a red afro and a red scarf around his neck.

Lockheed Martin.

Bounty: 9400 million Berries.

Loxda walked up and stood in front of Beckman, saying, "Beckman, the boss is drinking, so I won't disturb him. There's something I need to tell you."

Beckman glanced at Rockstar and said, "Sit down. I'm sorry you had to deliver the message to Whitebeard last time."

He never expected that Whitebeard would be so disrespectful to Shanks, tearing up the letter Shanks had written himself, and even Shanks himself had to go to the letter.

They didn't give Shanks any face either.

In the end, they parted on bad terms.

Loxda scratched his head and gave a straightforward smile as he declined, "No, no... I'm just a newbie now, you're the first mate."

"what..."

Beckman smiled and said, "We don't have that many rules in the Red-Haired Pirates. If we tell you to sit, you sit. Once you join the Red-Haired Pirates, we're all brothers."

After saying that, he picked up a bottle of wine next to him and handed it to Loxda, who was flattered.

The man in front of you, named Beckman, is the vice-captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, a notorious number one pirate on the high seas, and many people are intimidated by his name.

He sat down next to Beckman, feeling somewhat uneasy, and stated his purpose: "The world on Earth has extended an invitation to the Red-Haired Pirates to participate in the auction of the Enhancement Stones."

"Enhancement stones?"

Beckman took a deep drag on his cigar. "The invitation? Let me see it."

He reached out and took the invitation from Krosda's hand, confidently reading it and muttering to himself, "The seas are about to turn chaotic..."

After putting the invitation away, Beckman said to Krosda, "Alright, I understand. I'll tell the captain after the banquet."

···········

All nations.

It is a sea area composed of numerous islands, and the entire Whole Cake Island is ruled by the Big Mom Pirates.

Wheat Island.

It is an island managed by the "Pink Minister" Katakuri.

This is an island of bread made primarily of various types of wheat flour, including round and long loaves.

Katakuri was sleeping at that moment.

He closed his eyes, stood in the room with his arms crossed, because his belief was that his back should never touch the ground, so he slept standing up instead of lying down.

"Katakuri-nii-san...Katakuri-nii-san..."

A voice called out from outside the door. The voice was not loud and sounded very soft, as if the person was deliberately controlling their voice.

Suddenly.

Katakuri opened his eyes, his red pupils contracting slightly as the scene outside the door appeared. He lowered his hands and walked to the doorway.

Open the door.

"Brûlée, is something the matter?" Katakuri asked. His voice was somewhat cold, but unlike usual, it carried a hint of gentleness.

The person outside the door was Brulee. Although she looked like a very ugly and fierce old witch, she was wearing a happy smile at the moment.

She said, "Katakuri, Mom wants you to go to the Enhancement Stone Auction with Perospero."

"An auction of enhancement stones?" Katakuri's face showed surprise for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Then let's go take a look. I must complete the task my mother gave me, no matter what."

Chapter 87 The Strengthening Stone Was Cut Open

Happy Street.

This is a man's paradise.

It attracts countless men who linger there, even spending all their savings, and in rare cases, organ trafficking occurs.

Many people squandered their fortunes and eventually disappeared from this place; only a very few people know where they went.

Even beneath heaven lies endless darkness.

In a magnificent room, Stussy, known as the "Queen of Pleasure Street," propped her head up with one hand and held a steaming cup of coffee in the other.

Her posture was incredibly elegant.

Looking at the letters on the table, she muttered to herself, "The auction of enhancement stones... it seems this information needs to be reported to the World Government. However, this auction has gathered the evil forces of this vast sea..."

Under the sea.

Undercurrents were stirring as Doflamingo's auction invitations alarmed major powers around the world.

The Four Emperors, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Underworld, and so on.

at this time.

Punk Hazard Island.

With her lush, green hair, Monet stretched out her wing-like hands and pressed the switch on the laboratory door. After the door opened, she went inside.

In the laboratory.

A man over three meters tall with a pair of backward-curving ram's horns on his head is conducting an experiment.

This person was none other than Caesar Courant.

In front of him, in a transparent cup, lay a strengthening stone.

Caesar held a tube of reagent in his hand. The reagent was blue, and he slowly poured it into the stone. The liquid touched the surface of the strengthening stone, and soon...

The unknown liquid had already passed the enhancement stone.

Seeing this, Caesar Courland couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!!! Why is there still no response!!!"

"I've tried the decomposition potion dozens of times, but why can't I decompose the enhancement stone? What the hell is this thing?!"

"Even the hardest alloys and seastone can be broken down; they are completely powerless against the decomposition agent I personally concocted!"

at this time.

Monet slowly walked up as well. Seeing Caesar's appearance, she already knew the outcome. She said calmly, "It's been a whole day, and there's still no progress?"

The moment Doflamingo obtained the Enhancement Stones, he had a batch of them sent to his secret testing base in Punk Hazard.

It was handed over to Caesar Courant.

He was a member of the original research team MADS and the World Government Science Class, and worked with Vegapunk. He ranked second in the Science Class, only after Vegapunk.

He was also an exceptionally outstanding scientist.

They have developed inventions like "artificial Devil Fruits" that can make people incredibly powerful.

Caesar Coolie straightened up, turned to look at Monet beside him, and laughed, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh... only a day has passed. Give me a little more time, and I will definitely be able to crack the mystery of the enhancement stone."

Immediately, his expression turned fierce as he stared at Monet. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh... I am a genius scientist, my experiment has not failed."

"Wait and hear my good news!"

He then took out a notebook and a quill pen, carefully reviewed all the materials from the decomposition of the medicine, and wrote them down.

Monet was not intimidated by César Courland's fierce appearance and tone at all, and smiled slightly, "Then I wish you success soon."

"The sooner the enhancement stone is replicated, the better."

She then walked to the side, sat down, picked up a book, and started reading.
