One Piece: Enhanced Supreme Grade Sword

Although Caesar Courland claimed to be full of confidence, he was somewhat bewildered after numerous attempts, having tried various methods without any success.

None of the components of this substance have been identified until now.

He couldn't help but curse inwardly, "This is infuriating! This thing starts to strengthen itself when you apply force... Ordinary cutting machines are useless; only laser cutting machines can do it."

"and many more..."

"If I upgrade my laser cutter to level 12, will it be able to cut through the reinforced stone?"

Thinking of this, Caesar's face lit up with surprise, and he began to enhance the laser cutter.

Not long after.

Caesar directly enhanced a laser cutting machine to a power level of 12.

Caesar placed the enhancement stone on the cutting table with great joy, full of confidence, and let out his unique laugh: "Whoosh whoosh whoosh... I don't believe that the enhancement stone is really indestructible."

After adjusting the angle, he pressed the button on the laser cutting machine.

The laser beam immediately struck the surface of the reinforced stone.

The cutting began.

Caesar stared intently through the observation window at the enhancement stone, feeling both apprehensive and expectant, because he wasn't sure if the enhanced 12 laser cutter could actually cut through it.

He had already tried many methods before.

But none of them succeeded.

His eyes slowly peeked out of their sockets, his palms sweating with nervousness.

one second.

Two seconds.

······

Almost every second felt incredibly long to Caesar.

A minute passed.

suddenly.

His pupils contracted, and his face immediately lit up with a joyful smile. He excitedly shouted, "Whoosh whoosh whoosh... It's moving! Finally, there's movement!!!"

Under the enhanced 12 laser cutting machine, the enhanced stone is being cut open bit by bit.

This instantly boosted his confidence.

Caesar immediately canceled the automatic cutting and personally operated the laser cutting machine to start cutting the reinforced stone, producing a lot of fine powder from it.

“There are no failed experiments. In my hands, Caesar Cullen, the secret of the Enhancement Stone will surely be cracked.” He turned off the machine, his face filled with intense confidence.

His voice and movements also caught the attention of Monet, who smiled slightly, quite pleased.

He thought to himself, "It seems that Caesar has made progress. I hope Caesar can complete the task assigned by the young master as soon as possible and copy the enhancement stone."

"With the enhancement stone, young master will surely become the Pirate King."

The smile on her face was sincere and beautiful. Monet was genuinely happy. As long as she completed the young master's mission, she could help him become the Pirate King.

That was her mission in life.

Meanwhile, Caesar took out the reinforced stone powder from the cutting machine and began to study its components and their proportions.

And he actually made a discovery.

"Is it made of sea stone? But I've never seen any other materials like it before..." He looked puzzled.

I just solved a problem.

More problems followed.

of course.

Being a scientist means constantly solving one problem after another.

Caesar Courant continued his research.

And the auction of the enhancement stones.

Under Doflamingo's control, the event officially began.

Chapter 88 The Big Shots Arrive, the Strong Gather

New world.

It was originally a remote island with very few people.

Now, however, the port is filled with one huge pirate ship after another.

When the people disembarking from the boat came into everyone's view, it immediately caused a commotion in the crowd.

"That's...that's the underground king of funeral homes—Dragu Pikelow!"

"and many more..."

"And there's Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency!!"

"The King of Shipping - Umit!!"

"Loan shark king—Louis Field!"

"Queen of the Pleasure Street—Stusey!"

"Gibson, a long-established brand in the warehousing industry!"

"All six kings of the underworld have arrived..."

"・・・"

Stussy, carrying a pink handbag like a high-society lady, looked at the other underground kings beside her and said softly, "It seems Doflamingo wants to get a good price for the enhancement stone, since he invited everyone here."

After saying that, he glanced at the sea and his pupils shrank, his face showing surprise. He said in astonishment, "I really didn't expect that even the world's number one swordsman, Hawkeye, who goes it alone, couldn't resist the temptation of the enhancement stone?"

The words "World's greatest swordsman Hawkeye" were uttered.

The other underground kings were all moved and looked up at the sea.

Morgans, the president of the World News Agency, had a sudden flash of inspiration. He stroked his chin with his wing-like hand and said with great interest, "It seems we'll definitely get a lot of news this time. It's a pity we don't know the outcome of his fight with Shanks last time, otherwise the newspaper's sales would have increased several times over."

"It's a pity."

The duel between the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, and Red-Haired Shanks attracted the attention of countless people, but no one knows the outcome.

Although newspaper sales were much higher than usual, it was still not perfect.

this time.

Morgans hoped to get good news and make the newspaper sell well.

"Deep Current," the shipping tycoon, said with a serious expression, "Even someone like Hawkeye has come. I'm afraid there will be quite a few more important figures appearing soon."

"Hopefully, nothing goes wrong at this auction, otherwise, if these people get angry, it'll be hard to handle."

The few kings who ruled the underworld knew all too well what kind of power these people possessed. For the past one or two decades, stories about these people had been circulating all over the ocean.

“Let’s go, let’s get to the auction house first,” said Pikerot, the king of loan sharks.

The group were all old acquaintances, and they began walking together along the street toward the auction venue.

at this time.

On the sea.

Mihawk, sitting with his legs crossed on the coffin ship lit by green candles, glanced to his left with his double pupil-like eyes. A pirate ship appeared on the sea to his left rear.

He recognized the ship at a glance by the flags fluttering in the wind.

That's the flag of the Red-Haired Pirates.

"I wonder if Shanks from the Red-Haired Pirates has come or not." Mihawk's eyes held a hint of regret.

Red-haired Shanks was the only opponent on this sea who could rival him in swordsmanship, but ever since that man went to the East Blue, known as the "weakest sea".

He then lost his left arm.

Shanks was originally left-handed.

From then on.

Mihawk then lost a worthy opponent.

He is invincible in the world when it comes to swordsmanship.

On the pirate ship.

The perceptive Beckman also noticed Hawkeye and chuckled slightly, "It's a good thing the boss isn't here, otherwise he'd probably be out drinking with Mihawk again."

And opposite Beckman.

He was Yasopp, wearing a star-studded cape and carrying a sniper rifle across his back. "That guy is a respectable swordsman."

"Our goal is the enhancement stone. I wonder if my sniper rifle will become even more powerful after being enhanced?"

He reached out and touched the sniper rifle on his back; he absolutely adored this rifle.

Beckman pulled a lighter from his pocket and lit the cigar in his mouth. "No matter what, we have to get a batch of enhancement stones. That's just how this world is..."

"Whoever is weak, we bully them."

After exhaling a puff of smoke, he looked at the island and said softly, "Enhancement stones are like weapons; they are key to determining the outcome of a war and are part of the bargaining chips for victory or defeat."

"This thing is far more valuable than many weapons and cannons."

"It will also take away many lives."

The ship gradually docked at the harbor, and the pirates on board immediately dropped the anchor and set up the gangway.

The appearance of Hawkeye, Ben Beckman, and Yasopp.

Instead of causing a disturbance, it plunged the entire dock into an eerie atmosphere.

Quiet.

tension.
