Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

From the moment the Sparaletta family was destroyed, the Hogg Joint officially took over Dirk Street.

In three days, under the direction of the accountant, they largely took over the Sparaletta family's assets and recruited a new wave of people.

The number of people in the Hogg Joint successfully rose to fifty, and the territory they controlled more than doubled.

"Not bad, strengthening the forces you lead can indeed improve your luck."

Inside the most luxurious house on Dirk Street, Shimizu sat on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought, but in reality, he shifted his attention to the panel.

When he entered the DC world, the panel's progress bar was at 17.3 percent, which gradually rose to 17.9 percent over time.

After taking control of the Cole Gang, this data soared to 19.8 percent within two days.

It may not seem like much, but in reality, the Hogg Street controlled by the Cole Gang was just an ordinary street in Gotham's slums.

Gotham has countless streets like this.

After destroying the Sparaletta family, it rose to 20.8 percent.

Even if Batman couldn't defeat him, wanting to cause him trouble could easily affect his expansion.

Moreover, the Hogg Joint now needs to digest the Sparaletta family's assets, and the average quality of these people does not meet Shimizu's requirements.

"In that case, I should focus on learning knowledge during this time, and also train these thugs under my command. I don't expect them to be comparable to the regular army, but at least they have to look like the elite of a large gang."

Shimizu had never done the job of training a team in the past, but he could simplify some of the skills that could be learned in the Ninja School without chakra and use them to teach.

Then, combine it with the regular military training methods of this world. He could ask Aman about this, or at worst, he could spend money to hire some retired officers to teach.

As for whether his subordinates would be dissatisfied, Shimizu believed they would.

The power he established with Black Gold was completely sufficient. At that time, he would reward the members who performed well with some bonuses. The carrot and stick would be enough.

The more than 700,000 US dollars left by the Sparaletta family, after paying a portion to the Penguin, had another 100,000 as bonuses for various subordinates. The remaining 500,000 plus the protection fees and shop commissions from the two streets were enough to maintain the gang's training and normal operation. The excess was saved for purchasing materials to upgrade Black Gold in the future.

Thinking of this, Shimizu picked up the book on mechanics written by Silas Stone on the table.

"Wind Style: Air Current Dance!"

Streams of air swirled around the training ground of the puppet base, stirring up dust.

Shimizu had already learned the ninjutsu Air Current Dance.

"Very good, next is the experiment. Use the principle of Air Current Dance to accelerate the airflow into the pneumatic device, and then use the principle of Gale Palm to pressurize it."

Shimizu manipulated the Fatty puppet with both hands, carefully operating it.

He couldn't form hand seals now, so he couldn't use the method of directly casting ninjutsu through his main body to speed up gas compression.

But he didn't need to fully release the ninjutsu, he just needed to transmit his wind attribute chakra through the chakra threads, roughly reproducing a part of the effect of the two ninjutsu within a small range.

As long as the energy storage speed and power of the pneumatic device could be slightly improved, it would be a success.

The air rushed into the air pump, and then was rapidly compressed under the action of the piston and the wind style chakra, and finally the air valve was opened.

Under the action of high pressure, internal energy was rapidly converted into mechanical energy, causing the Fatty puppet's fist to pop out in an instant, bombarding a huge rock.

The broken rocks scattered, and dust flew, causing Scorpion in the next room to stop and look out the window.

"That guy's puppet super strength ninjutsu has become stronger again."

Scorpion looked at Shimizu for a while, then turned back and continued to modify Black Ant and Salamander.

"The gas aggregation speed has increased from 10.3 seconds for a single pneumatic pump to 7.4 seconds. The power increase is unknown, but it should be significant. Next time, I can consider letting the clone learn how to make a pressure gauge and put one in, so that the changes in air pressure data can be brought into the formula for calculation later."

Shimizu walked to the Fatty puppet and carefully observed it after removing its arm.

"The cylinder has undergone slight deformation. Next time, I have to replace it with better materials to make the cylinder, and I also have to redesign a cylinder structure, use graded multiple air valves to separate and change the distribution of air pressure, focusing on enhancing the strength of the high-pressure air chamber, and can also accurately control the punching force in stages..."

Shimizu checked while modifying the design drawing on the panel on the spot.

After the modification was completed, the Fatty puppet's rating did not increase.

Because this only slightly enhanced the puppet's load-bearing capacity and control ability. The increase in the upper limit is not in the puppet, but in Shimizu, the person using the puppet.

"The money for the materials should be enough. There was still a little left before, and I also received a certain percentage of the reward for the last S-level mission. I can also modify Little Boy together by the way."

The next day.

The last day of the holiday.

Through the internal channels of the puppet troop, Shimizu easily purchased the materials he needed in the warehouse and began to upgrade Fatty and Little Boy.

The modification of Fatty was carried out step by step, and the modification of Little Boy was even simpler.

The design concept of this puppet itself is very extreme. In addition to the necessary attack methods, all the points are added to the speed.

Therefore, it is actually very difficult to deeply modify it, because the main body of Little Boy is made of extremely light materials, which leads to insufficient strength of the main structure.

If you want to modify it, you either have to make a major change from the inside to the outside, which is almost equivalent to recreating a puppet, or make small modifications to the corners, and it is very difficult to continue to improve.

However, Shimizu found an idea.

Spring.

This is a component that is used in many industrial machines, and it is also used in some puppets, acting on various mechanisms.

Shimizu's purpose is to install springs on the soles of Little Boy's feet and leg joints, and use chakra threads to move the puppet to store energy for the springs when manipulating the puppet.

Little Boy's quality is light enough, so there is no need to worry about the spring deforming and not being able to recover due to long-term heavy pressure.

The only requirement is that the selected metal must have both strength and toughness.

Fortunately, although Sunagakure is poor, the Land of Wind is rich in minerals, and there is also the Third Kazekage, a humanoid pulse detector, so there are many stocks of qualified metals in the puppet troop.
