One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Whether it was the original CP9 team members, the two CP9 examiners, or even other CP department heads in the distance, they all noticed this place and rushed over.

At that moment, they all stared in disbelief at the incredible scene.

Kitahara Tsune stood atop the tower, next to the fallen Rob Lucci.

His white suit was so conspicuous at that moment that it seemed almost glaring.

His clothes weren't even scratched!

The strongest in 800 years has been defeated?!

Or were they defeated so easily?!

You were defeated by someone from another training base?

Whether it's the instructors' level, the intensity of the training, or even the standards for selecting orphans, they are all one in a hundred on Guanhao Island, which is dedicated to training CP9.

Standing out from the crowd and surpassing Lucci, who was from the previous generation, he is a monster among monsters.

How did he manage to do that?

What no one knew was that Kitahara Tsune had his own cheat code.

Each of those terms was constantly enhancing his physical fitness.

[Resilience], [Strength], [Swiftness]... each of these attributes elevates Kitahara Tsune's already formidable physical abilities to an even higher level.

The values ​​of these attributes are not fixed; the stronger Kitahara Tsune's physical attributes are, the greater the bonus these attributes will give him.

With the help of these terms, Kitahara Tsuneo learned the Six Styles even more smoothly.

With continuous improvement through diligence, he eventually made great progress in the Six Styles and achieved Mastery of the Six Styles.

And just now...

As Kitahara Tsune and Lucci continued to spar with the Six Styles techniques, the Six Styles skills that Kitahara Tsune displayed continuously brought him a constant stream of attention and understanding.

【Six Styles Peak (Blue)】: Your understanding of the Six Styles has reached its peak. All kinds of Six Styles techniques are easy for you to master. You will be able to learn the various techniques of the Six Styles more easily and take the correct measures in battle.

【Six Styles Mastery】 is changed to 【Six Styles Ascending to the Peak】.

Kitahara Tsune instantly understood some of the things he hadn't understood before, and finally grasped the secrets of the Six Styles.

Rob Lucci, he was indeed a genius.

However, what Kitahara Tsune possesses is an unparalleled physical stat for his age, achieved through stat boosts and years of training, as well as a profound understanding of the Six Styles.

The surrounding silence was gradually broken, and everyone, from the examiners to other CP departments, was now buzzing with discussion.

The title of the greatest genius in 800 years is about to change hands.

At this moment, Rob Lucci, who was lying on the ground, stirred and gradually regained consciousness.

He looked at Kitahara Tsuneo standing to the side, his lips moved, and a faint smile actually appeared:

"You're still better; I've lost."

"But next time, I'll definitely win!"

Kitahara Tsune looked at Rob Lucci and nodded: "Impressive, Lucci. I'll probably never forget you in my life."

With Rob Lucci's own admission of defeat, the curtain fell on this battle.

"No way, Lucci really lost?!"

Gabra rubbed his eyes, feeling utterly incredulous.

He cheered for Kitahara Tsune earlier because he didn't think much of Lucci and Kaku, but he didn't expect Lucci to actually lose.

He originally thought he would be happy to see Lucci lose, but when Lucci actually lost, he felt a little uneasy.

Kalifa, standing beside him, looked at Kitahara Tsune with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Since arriving on this island, the strongest person she has ever met is Lucci, and she firmly believes that Lucci is the strongest.

Now, the title of strongest has been transferred to Kitahara Tsune. Thinking about her previous views and attitudes towards him, Kalifa couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

The other CP department leaders kept asking Lushchi what had just happened.

"It's an internal matter for CP9, so let's not ask any more questions."

Having brushed these people off, Ruschi looked at Kitahara Tsuneo and Rob Lucci, whom he had helped up.

"Then, Kitahara Tsuneo, you are number one. When carrying out missions, you are the commander."

After saying that, he looked at Lucci: "Lucci, you are the second in command, responsible for assisting in the command."

"Yes, sir."

The next battle was a fight between the remaining few.

The rankings are basically linked to the Dao power value.

While there were many highlights in the battle, it inevitably seemed rather bland compared to the epic battle between Kitahara Tsuneo and Lucci.

After the battle officially ended, the eight CP9 newcomers boarded the naval warship that was leaving Guanhao Island for Enies Lobby.

However, the aftershocks of this battle are far from over.

On the contrary, like a boulder thrown into a lake, the ripples it creates will linger for a long time.

……

Naval Headquarters, Marineford, Admiral's office.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku was reviewing a series of documents.

A seagull suddenly flew in through the window, entered the marshal's office, and landed on the desk.

Sengoku calmly reached for the strip of paper tied to the seagull's leg.

Upon opening it, I found it was the list of CP9 agents for this year.

The Navy and the CP department are parallel departments and generally do not interfere with each other.

However, there are some pieces of intelligence that must be obtained.

Looking at the names on the list, Sengoku raised an eyebrow.

How come I've never heard of Kitahara Tsune...?

He got up, flipped through the mountain of documents piled up beside him, and finally found one.

The document records the orphans taken in by Guanhao Island at various times.

Among the latest batch of names, Rob Lucci, Kaku, Jabra, and other CP9 members are prominently featured.

It even includes Kalifa's name and specifically notes that she is Lucas's daughter.

"That's strange, where did Kitahara Tsuneo come from?"

However, Sengoku quickly dismissed the question, thinking that it was just a newcomer to CP9 and nothing to worry about.

He has more important things to deal with.

However, the name Kitahara Tsune still left a slight impression on his mind.

……

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, the City of God, a place of power.

The CP9 report has been placed on the Five Elders' desks.

In name, the affairs of the CP department are managed by "Legal God of War" Topman Vochuli Saint.

He was a burly old man, dressed in a black suit and white shirt, bald with two spiky mustaches and a birthmark on his forehead.

This confidential report was naturally the first one he read.

"Rob Lucci got defeated by a kid from the North Sea?"

"This Kitahara Tsune, he just came from the North Sea? He should be a more suitable tool than Lucci."

Topman Vocuri looked up at Spandane, who was kneeling at the door, trembling involuntarily.

"You did a good job with what happened in Ohara."

"These people are useful tools; you should make good use of them."

The current CP9 commander, Spandam, was overjoyed upon hearing the Five Elders' words and hurriedly replied:

"Saint Sevochuli, I will definitely not let you down!!"

"Being able to see the Five Elders even once would be enough for this lifetime," Spandam thought, especially since this was only the second time he had seen them. Snot and tears streamed down his face.

"In that case, there just happens to be a task here, so I'll assign it to you..."

Vocuri Saint tossed a document to Spandam and dismissed him with a few words.

……

Sea voyages have always been a time-consuming endeavor.

Even the World Government would need a considerable amount of time to travel from Guanhao Island to Enies Lobby.

Meanwhile, the impact of defeating Rob Lucci is gradually expanding.

Although he hasn't entered the public eye, the name "Kitahara Tsune" has caught the attention of higher-ups and left them with the impression that he is "a talented person".

The most obvious change is that Kitahara Tsune has now added more entries to his name.

[Exceptional Talent (Green)] has changed to [Genius (Blue)].

[Genius (Blue)]: Your talent is exceptional even on the boundless ocean. Your potential in learning, combat, and cultivation has been greatly enhanced.

There was also an entry he had never seen before.

[CP9's Strongest Genius (Limited): You are CP9's undisputed strongest genius. As long as you maintain this title, your comprehension and learning efficiency in all areas, including physical training, mastery of the Six Powers, combat intuition, and assassination techniques, will continuously improve with the stability of this title, without any upper limit.]

"This is exactly what I wanted!"

As he looked at the newly created entries on the panel, Kitahara Tsune's mouth slowly opened, and his deep laughter gradually grew louder until he could no longer suppress it, until the entire warship could hear his laughter.

His efforts over the years have finally paid off!
