Chapter:35

From the moment the Spaletta family was wiped out, Hogg United officially took over Decker Street.

In just three days, under the strict management of the Accountant, they absorbed Spaletta's assets, recruited new members, and expanded their control.

The gang's numbers grew to fifty, and their territory more than doubled.

Sitting in the most luxurious villa on Decker Street, Hirito leaned back on the sofa, his eyes half-closed, seemingly deep in thought.

But in reality—his mind was focused on the panel.

Before arriving in this world, the progress bar on Hirito's panel had been 17.3%.

With time, it had slowly climbed to 17.9%.

After taking over the Cole Gang, it jumped to 19.8% in just two days.

And now, with Spaletta's downfall, it had reached 20.8%.

"So expanding my influence really does improve my luck."

But—Hirito knew better than to move too fast.

"If we grow too quickly, it'll catch Batman's attention," he muttered.

Even though he wasn't afraid of Batman, he had no intention of fighting him so soon.

Batman wouldn't kill him, but he could still interfere and slow his progress.

Hogg United needed time—to digest Spaletta's resources, train their men, and consolidate power.

"Their combat ability isn't up to my standards yet."

Hirito had never trained a gang before, but he could use simplified versions of ninja training methods to improve them.

Some basic techniques didn't require chakra, and with a bit of adjustment, they could be adapted for normal people.

Aman, the former police academy dropout, would be useful in structuring a training regimen. If necessary, Hirito could hire retired military officers to drill them properly.

Would the gang resist?

Of course.

But Hirito had enough authority to make them comply—especially with Black Gold as a deterrent.

To motivate them, he'd implement a reward system.

The $700,000 left behind by Spaletta had been split up:

Some went to pay off Penguin.

$100,000 was given as bonuses to gang members.

The rest went into training, operations, and future upgrades for Black Gold.

Satisfied, Hirito picked up a mechanics book written by Silas Stone and began reading.

At the puppet corps training ground, Hirito formed a hand seal.

"Wind Style: Air Flow!"

A strong gust swirled through the field, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Hirito smirked.

"Finally mastered it."

His real goal wasn't the jutsu itself—it was to integrate the technique into his puppets.

"If I can enhance air compression speed, the Pneumatic Fist will be even stronger and faster."

Hirito placed both hands on his Fat Puppet, manipulating it carefully.

By channeling wind chakra through his chakra strings, he could replicate the effects of Air Flow and Fierce Wind Palm inside the air pump.

Hirito activated the modified air pump.

Air rushed in, compressed rapidly.

Wind chakra amplified the pressure.

The valve opened—

BOOM!

The Fat Puppet's fist shot forward, shattering a massive boulder on impact.

From the next room, Sasori looked up, his brows furrowing.

"That guy's puppet technique just improved again."

Sasori watched for a moment, then went back to modifying Black Ant and Salamander.

Hirito analyzed the results.

"The charging time was 10.3 seconds before. Now it's 7.4 seconds."

"The power increase is unknown, but significant."

His next step—install a barometer to measure air pressure changes.

"The cylinder slightly deformed from the pressure. I need stronger materials and a better structure."

Adjustments:

✔ Upgrade cylinder material.

✔ Redesign structure with multiple valves.

✔ Reinforce high-pressure air chamber for controlled power output.

With gang affairs settled, Hirito returned to the puppet corps warehouse and purchased the necessary materials.

The Fat Puppet's upgrade was a step-by-step process.

But modifying the Little Boy required a new approach.

The Little Boy's strength was its speed—but its lightweight build limited structural durability.

If he reinforced it, it would slow down.

So instead, he chose a different solution:

✔ Install springs in the joints and feet.

✔ Use chakra strings to store energy—then release it for bursts of speed.

With the right metal, the springs wouldn't deform easily.

And thanks to the Third Kazekage, the puppet corps had plenty of rare metals available.

Hirito grinned.

"This is going to be fun."
