With 120,000 points, it was just enough to restore 20 years of youth to each of the six Guardians.
In this way, it was a small reward for their decades of loyalty and hard work in supporting the Vongola family. However, these 20 years of youth wouldn't restore their full strength.
It would ensure that these powerful Guardians wouldn't be tempted to compete with Tsunayoshi and the others of the Tenth Generation for control of Vongola.
It wasn't that Timoteo didn't trust his Guardians.
But, in the history of the Vongola family, similar situations had arisen more than once, so he needed to be cautious.
As for the remaining 60,000 points, Timoteo trusted that with Reborn's character, he would undoubtedly use them to benefit Tsuna and his guardian.
It could be said that the Ninth, an old man nearing retirement, had made all the preparations necessary for Tsuna's rise to power!
In fact...
When Tsuna led his Guardians to defeat Varia and rescue him, Timoteo had already considered stepping down.
But at the time, Reborn believed the moment wasn't right, so Timoteo held off.
Now...
with the support of these 60,000 points, Timoteo was confident that Tsuna and his guardians would become the greatest leaders in Vongola's history!!!
In that moment, many thoughts raced through Timoteo's mind.
Yet, in reality, only a few seconds had passed.
After hearing Timoteo's plan, Reborn's eyes shone with understanding.
Finally, after agreeing to rejuvenate the Ninth's Guardians after the dinner...
Timoteo left the scene to attend to other matters, leaving the room empty for Leo and Reborn to discuss the details of the transaction.
As soon as Timoteo left, Leo shifted his attention to Reborn, his smile unchanged, and asked:
"So, Mr. Reborn, do you intend to spend the remaining points now, or later?"
"Let me remind you, since this world was just upgraded to Level C by the Transdimensional Chamber of Commerce, I may not be able to stay here much longer."
"Due to the different flow of time in the void zone outside this world and between other worlds, I don't know when I'll be able to return."
"I suggest you use the points as soon as possible."
As a high-ranking member of the Transdimensional Chamber of Commerce, Reborn was already familiar with the entire transaction process, including all available items and abilities for trade.
Leo skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point, encouraging Reborn to spend the points without delay.
Reborn, who had already learned about world ratings from Ace, quickly accepted Leo's advice.
Luckily, he had already thought of what to trade for when the Ninth made his exchange.
Reborn smiled, forming the characteristic "ω" shape that everyone was fond of.
Then he looked up at Leo.
Though Reborn, even standing on the table, barely reached Leo's chest in height, his presence was far more imposing than Timoteo's had been.
Perhaps this was the pride of the world's greatest assassin.
Reborn smiled and said:
"I've already decided what items need to be traded..."
"Please, Sir Leo, go ahead and exchange them as per the list."
As he spoke, Reborn reached up and touched Leon, the lizard on his hat.
With a flash of light, Leon transformed into a sheet of paper.
On the paper were neatly written lines of text.
"Oh? What a handy little guy."
Leo grinned as he accepted the paper that Leon had turned into.
Although he had already memorized the entire list with a glance, he still read through it as a formality.
The first name on the list was, unsurprisingly, Sawada Tsunayoshi, the future Tenth leader of Vongola and Reborn's direct student.
Next to Tsuna's name, the first item for exchange was Bond Evolution, a process that deepens the connection between trainer and Pokémon, allowing them to grow stronger together!
Leo wasn't surprised.
For trainers, the Bond Evolution, which cost only 1,500 points, was the most cost-effective choice in the market, enhancing both trainer and Pokémon across levels.
Considering that Tsuna and the others wouldn't have the means to easily accumulate points for new Pokémon without Vongola's support, Reborn opted for the standard Bond Evolution, rather than the more advanced version that allowed bonding with two Pokémon at once for 5,000 points.
Thus, Reborn chose the basic Bond Evolution for Tsuna and his six Guardians.
Following Tsuna's name, each Guardian's first item was also Bond Evolution.
Additionally, Reborn had considered Haki—both Armament Haki and Observation Haki from the Pirate World—as standard skills.
Although similar abilities existed in the Vongola world, additional skills never hurt!
Influenced by the incredible power of Pokémon, Reborn was eager to see how the exclusive powers of other worlds would blend into his world.
Of course...
Since each person's fighting style differed, Reborn made some adjustments when it came to exchanging for Haki.
Most Guardians received the basic 1,000-point Armament Haki and 1,000-point Observation Haki.
However, for those like Lambo and Chrome, who weren't as skilled in close combat...
Reborn allocated 500 points for Armament Haki and 1,500 points for Observation Haki.
The Haki purchased would not immediately manifest in their skills.
Instead, it would grant them the ability to learn and practice Haki of the Pirate World.
Additionally, it would help each Guardian better understand and apply Haki.
Therefore...
even if the same amount of points was spent on each person, there would still be a noticeable difference in how each Guardian ultimately mastered their Haki, depending on their individual capabilities.
It ultimately depends on how Tsuna and the others develop their bodies in the future.
But…
perhaps because he wanted to take a gamble, Reborn spent an additional 500 points to buy Conqueror's Haki Enlightenment for Tsuna.
Although Tsuna has a rather mild personality, and it's unclear whether he has the potential to awaken this rare form of Haki…
Reborn confidently stated:
"I've never lost a bet in my life."
Finally, Reborn spent another 5,000 points to unlock the MEGA Evolution for Tsuna's Pyroar.
With this, Tsuna's combat power skyrocketed.
At full strength, it could even reach level 50!!!
In the world of pirates, this level of power surpasses that of a vice admiral!
For the relatively peaceful world of the Vongola, this kind of strength is simply unmatched!!!
As for the rest of the group, Reborn ensured that no one was left behind.
Alongside the standard enhancements…
Reborn redeemed Z-Moves for Takeshi's and Hayato's Pokémon.
Although Z-Moves aren't as long-lasting as MEGA Evolution, in an actual battle…
the explosive power of Z-Moves far exceeds the strength boost from MEGA Evolution.
This perfectly suits the fighting style of Tsuna's right-hand men, both of whom have the ability to unleash incredible power in critical moments!
Next...
Reborn spent 1,000 points to completely heal Chrome's body.
He repaired the internal damage caused by the car accident and even improved her overall physical condition.
This freed Chrome from relying on illusionary internal organs for survival, significantly enhancing her longevity and resilience.
At the same time, Reborn spent 2,000 points to get a high-quality Dusk Stone for Chrome, enabling her Murkrow to evolve when the time was right.
Regarding Pokémon that require items to evolve…
Aside from Chrome, there was another person on Tsuna's team who needed such an item.
That person, of course, was the solitary Hibari.
His Onix needed far more complex steps to evolve into Steelix than Chrome's Murkrow.
Reborn handled it in one go by spending 3,000 points to exchange for the highest-quality Metal Coat and a Pokémon Trade Machine.
For Ryohei, Reborn redeemed several combat gear items for the fearless fighter...
such as a headband to enhance mental focus, a trap to increase attack speed, and weights to improve training efficiency…
Altogether, this set cost nearly 5,000 points.
After all this, Reborn's point balance dwindled to just over 5,000.
With those remaining points, Reborn provided special training aids to the members of Tsuna's team who struggled with mastering the Six Powers of the Navy, giving them the insights they needed to fully grasp the techniques.
Finally, Reborn spent the last of his points on Thunder Affinity and Discharge Abilities for Lambo.
Each ability cost 2,000 points, totaling 4,000.
These enhancements boosted Lambo's attack power and further developed his unique skills, despite being only five years old.
And with that, Reborn had spent all 60,000 points, leaving nothing behind.
However, although the points were gone, they had been transformed into tangible powers that would forever remain in Tsuna and his team's bodies, as well as their Pokémon!!!
These enhancements granted them terrifying strength for all their future battles!!!
