One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

Chapter 79 Hextech Comparable to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit

Sengoku was pleased to hear Sith readily agree, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Sith, don't be reckless. Although I have high hopes for your strength, the New World and Paradise are two completely different places."

"Furthermore, you'll likely be fighting Whitebeard or Kaido's men this time. Just so you know, their overall strength is much greater than Big Mom's."

Sith was badly injured while saving Kizaru, and his bandages were still on. Sengoku was worried that something might happen to him.

"Don't worry, Marshal Sengoku. You know how strong my body's recovery ability is."

Sith laughed and jumped a few times to prove that he was perfectly fine.

"Besides, the navy is under a lot of pressure right now, and we absolutely cannot afford any more accidents."

Sengoku nodded helplessly: "Yes, we desperately need a battle to prove that the navy remains the greatest hegemon at sea!"

News of the major incident at Sabaody Archipelago has spread, and it is bound to deal a significant blow to the Navy's prestige.

The key issue is that the damned giant seemed to have detonated explosives before he died, turning the Celestial Dragons to ashes along with him. Even if the Navy wanted to regain some face by putting him on trial, there was nothing they could do.

Of the three admirals, Akainu and Aokiji were busy putting out fires everywhere, Kizaru was still injured and had not recovered, and the admirals all had their own tasks to attend to. Sengoku simply couldn't spare any manpower to go to the New World.

However, if Whitebeard and Kaido were to actually fight, it would be impossible for the Navy not to intervene.

If those two pirate crews use the war as a cover to harass the World Government's member states in the New World, or if one side completely annexes the other, causing the balance of the New World to shift, it would be a very serious matter.

Sengoku was silent for a moment, then patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, this time it's up to you!"

"Once you return successfully from your mission, I will definitely pressure the higher-ups to give you a generous reward, including this one!"

Sith immediately gave a standard military salute and loudly declared, "Rewards or anything like that don't matter."

"Soldiers are all very simple-minded; they only want to be loyal to justice!"

Sengoku then spent another half a day explaining the details of the mission before Sith left the marshal's office.

"Finally, we're going to play high-level matches."

Walking under the starry sky of Marineford, Sith unconsciously revealed an excited smile.

He was no longer satisfied with simply dominating the weak in the first half of the Grand Line; only by honing his skills in a place like the New World could he become stronger.

That way you can get even more lucrative rewards!

In addition, the Sith had long been eyeing the monsters of the New World, intending to gather information about the Poneglyphs from them.

The more he learned about what had happened in the past hundred years, the better his chances of surviving the apocalypse. This was precisely his main purpose in taking Robin in.

His gains in the Sabaody Archipelago were quite substantial, giving him enough capital to travel to the New World.

Using his identity as "Ymir," he wreaked havoc on Sabaody Archipelago's richest island while also plundering a considerable amount of cash and treasure. He currently holds a huge sum of Berries, not even less than Doflamingo's reparations.

On the way back, Sith silently started drawing lots. After spending hundreds of millions, he finally drew a decent Hextech item and a top-tier piece of equipment.

Lightning Strike (Gold): Increases attack speed by 20%.

【Statikk's Blade: Each attack generates lightning, dealing electric damage to enemies】

"Finally, we have everything."

Sith nodded in satisfaction.

To avoid having more information gathered about him, he doesn't plan to use the identities of the Joker and the Giant for the time being.

His new lightning-based abilities are precisely what he has prepared for his new identity.

This time when he goes to the New World, he doesn't plan to just stand by and do nothing as a Marine. It's a rare opportunity for Whitebeard and Kaido to fight, how can he not stir up some trouble?

We should at least make up for Whitebeard's original regrets and help them conquer Wano Country!

He remembered that there was a historical inscription stone on Ghost Island, and he thought he could take this opportunity to make a copy and see if he could obtain important historical information.

Furthermore, Kaido has occupied Wano Country for so many years, his warehouses must be filled with an astonishing amount of wealth, and he is very interested in looting them.

Forget about the white-bearded guy; the money Old Deng stole was either mostly distributed among his sons or used to support his hometown, so there was practically nothing to be gained from it.

However, this alone is not enough to get to Kaido's base. Sith paid a heavy price and immediately upgraded several Hextech Gundams.

[Newcomer LV2: Creates an identical clone, lasting 72 hours. Upgrade requires 25 billion Berries]

[Night Hunt LV3: Enters stealth mode for 60 minutes. Attacking will prematurely end stealth mode. Upgrade requires 10 million Berries]

[Lightning Strike LV3: Gain some lightning power; upgrade requires 30 billion Berries]

That should be about right!

These three Hextech items are essential for his future actions, especially Lightning Strike, which, as he expected, will grant him some of the power of lightning after upgrading.

Comparable to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

"Before heading to the new world, let's go meet that guy."

Sith glanced in the direction of Sabaody Archipelago and disappeared into the night.

late at night.

In the shipwrights district of Sabaody Archipelago, a small bar still has its lights on.

The bar was empty at the moment. After all, the signboard clearly read "Knocking on Bamboo Bars," which scared away most customers. Moreover, a major event had just occurred on the island, and even the pirates did not intend to stay here any longer. Many people had already left Sabaody.

However, the proprietress didn't seem to care, sitting behind the bar and slowly wiping the glasses.

The shop owner next to him was also leisurely reading a newspaper, occasionally yawning.

The shop was very quiet until someone pushed open the door, and the wind chimes tinkled.

Shaki immediately stopped wiping the cups, while Rayleigh remained reclining in his chair, glancing up casually and smiling, "What bad luck, sir, we're about to close."

"But that's alright. Judging from your attire, you don't seem to be planning on drinking, do you?"

Standing before them was a man in a black cloak, with short white hair and a tall stature. His well-defined muscles were faintly visible beneath the wide cloak, but what was most striking was his face.

He was wearing a mask with seven colorful rings painted on it, three green ones arranged diagonally at the top and four red ones forming a square at the bottom.

Reilly had never seen this pattern before, but based on his intuition from years of spending time in casinos, he felt it might be inspired by some kind of card game.

Sith smiled slightly behind the mahjong mask: "Mr. Rayleigh, Ms. Shakky, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night."

"You may call me Seven Tubes. I'm here to ask you about the Roger Pirates back then."

There's no need to beat around the bush with someone like Rayleigh; he cut to the chase and stated his intentions.

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in Rayleigh's eyes, and a strong Conqueror's Haki pressed down on Sith.
