《One Piece Talent System》 CHAPTER 1 HUNTING West Blue. Augus Island. In the middle of a street, Pirate Captain Rhodes with a huge machete on his shoulder looked at a box of treasures in front of him, and asked several of his pirates subordinates, Are the treasures here? Almost everything Good! Lets go! Rhodes nodded with satisfaction and told the pirate subordinate near him to move all the treasure to his ship and planned to leave the island. But After only walking a few steps they suddenly found out that at the end of the street, without them knowing, a young man with a leather cap had suddenly appeared. A pistol was hung on his left waist and a short sword on his right waist. He was holding a yellow paper in his hand. He had his head lowered as he was looking at it. Rhodes gave a slight glimpse and thought: Where did this brat come from? The civilians on this island have long been robbed by them. They were just too scared of them to come out. The pirates did not know where this brat came from and dare to stand in their way, does he still want to live? The pirate crew was left slightly surprised, but they all smiled. Someone shook their wrist and took out a gun and aimed directly at the young man at the end of the street. Hey! kid, if you dont want to die, then get lost! The young man who was at the receiving end of the gun looked up, not looking at the gun pointed at him but directly looking at Captain Rhodes standing next to his crew. A bounty of 16 million Berries, Machete Rhodes? Rhodes was surprised and said, Kid you sure have guts for casually saying my name, get lost before your father here gets angry! Rhodes raised his chin slightly showing a trace of arrogance. For the pirates, everything depend upon the bounty placed on them, and the 16 million berries bounty placed on Rhodes is not low in this area of sea, this fact gives him his pride and thats where his arrogance comes from. Its good that I didnt get the wrong person.The young man nodded and gently dropped the paper in his hand and said: Then 16 million berries Rhodes, your head is mine. bang!bang!bang!! As soon as his voice fell the young man violently pulled out the pistol at the waist and shot six bullets at Rhodes and other pirates. The pirates apparently did not expect the young man would dare to take the initiative even when facing so many of them, but he did and the speed at which he shot was so fast that they didnt realize until after the shots were fired. The young man fired six bullets and five pirates fell to the ground! The only bullet that failed to hit was shot at Rhodes, which was stopped by Rhodes with the huge machete on his shoulder. At this time the paper that was thrown away by the young man slowly fell to the ground, and it was a bounty reward order. The wanted character on the paper was the Machete Rhodes! At Rhodes position. Although Rhodes blocked the bullet fired at him but he had no time to stop other bullets, he watched as his five men were all knocked down, his face turning red in anger. You damn!! He screamed and waved his huge machete in his hand and rushed up against the youth. The huge machete slammed down and it was the wind produced from the swing that gave people a kind of feeling. The feeling of splitting in half. However facing Rhodes attack, the youth did not panic. He hurriedly put away his pistol and then he put his hands directly in front of him to catch the machete. . Courting death! Rhodes sneered at this sight in front of him. His machete was not only huge, but the material that it was made from was very special. It was very hard and extremely heavy. Most people couldnt hold his weapon even if they tried. To dare to catch his machete, he doesnt know if the young man in front of him wanted to live or die. The machete slams down towards the young man. But, Almost as soon as the young mans palm touched the blade, Rhodess face changed, because a strange force suddenly enveloped the entire machete. Kacha! Kacha!! The huge machete did not cut down the young mans palm and it is directly twisted continuously under the influence of that strange force turned into a twisted shape. Then the strange force continued to spread and in front of Rhodes horrified eyes the force covered his hands completely. Aaahhhh! Rhodes made an earth-shattering scream as the machete that had been twisted into a twist, accompanied by his blood and some distorted boneless meat spilled over the ground. You you Rhodes fell to the ground and looked at the young man in front of him in horror. You are Pirate Hunter, Ghost Hand Ross! You guessed it correctly, unfortunately, there is no prize for you. Ross smiled and pulled out the short sword hanging from his waist. Stepping forward a sword swept out and a head flew up into the sky with blood. At the same time, there was a crisp electronic sound in the ear of Ross. The bounty of 16 million Berries, Machete Rhodes has been hunted, received rewards; 45 Talent Proficiency, 1 Free Talent Point. Hearing the electronic sound in his ear, Ross showed a touch of joy on his face. This is the first time that I had killed a pirate with a bounty of 16 million berries, the reward is really rich and I even got a free talent point. He used to be an intern in another world. One year ago, he came to One Piece World inexplicably. He also had a Talent System in his mind and he was able to get Talent Proficiency points and Free Talent Points by hunting the pirates with a bounty on their head. With this Talent System, he has been able to power up in the past year and now, he could easily deal with even pirates with the bounty of 16 million Berries. Ross thought about his system interface and three translucent singular trees that only he could see appeared in front of him. The top of the canopy had three names, Living, General, and Battle. Living-type talent, which is a variety of messy talents such as sailing, cooking, music, etc. Ross only has a navigation talent from this. The general type of talent has three main talents of strength enhancement, agility enhancement, and physical enhancement, plus some minor talents like running, jumping, and flexibility and others. . To activate a minor talent, he needs a one Free Talent Points. To activate a major talent, he needs two Free Talent Points. Ross currently only activates one major talent of Agility Enhancement. The final battle type talent has always been Rosss current specialization direction. After opening the battle type talent the translucent tree was enlarged and the trunk above became a branch. Most of them were gray and dark, and only a small part was golden. The golden color is for the activated talents. And the gray color is for talents that have not been activated yet. At present, Ross has only three battle talents, Firearms Shooting, Close-Combat Fighting and Distortion Fruit, which are labeled with the proficiency of these three talents. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 80 Distortion Fruit: 50 Among them, Firearms Shooting and Close-Combat Fighting are two talents with 50 points in Proficiency level,100 points for Control Level and Maximum Value of 200 points. Firearms Shooting doesnt need to be raised anymore for now as the Proficiency level is enough. Lets put points in the Close-Combat Fighting and raise it to the Control Level. CHAPTER 2 TALENT SYSTEM Ross looked at his two talents: Firearms Shooting and Close-Combat Fighting, and quickly made the decision. He looked towards his newly acquired 45-point in the proficiency and decided to put 20 points on Close-Combat Fighting talent. Whoosh! When the proficiency of Close-Combat Fighting talent reached 100 points, a golden light flashed and the label on the right side of the tree changed from Proficiency level to Control Level. At the same time, Ross felt that his body suddenly became a lot more flexible and a lot of fighting skills seemed to directly brand themselves into his brains. The remaining 25 points can be put into the Distortion Fruit. Ross looked at his third talent Distortion Fruit while pondering. Distortion Fruit is not the ability activated by the Talent System but he accidentally got it in an extremely dangerous encounter. Due to the crisis at that time he could only gamble and eat it, without knowing what type of devil fruit it was. But after eating the said fruit, the Talent System activated and the battle type talent tree got a huge branch labeled as Distortion Fruit. The basic ability of this devil fruit is to distort everything that the owners body touches. Even materials as hard as steel can be easily twisted into a fried dough twist. It seems to be ordinary at first but in the Talent System, it has an extremely powerful evolutionary direction! On this huge branch, there are multiple smaller branches which are the evolutionary direction of the devil fruit such as Light Distortion, Gravity Distortion, and Space distortion. Even with all these cheat abilities, there is also an extremely powerful ability, Time Distortion! To fully fill the Distortion Fruit talent, it requires a lot of proficiency points. Light Distortion: 100 Gravity Distortion: 300 Space Distortion: 600 Time Distortion: 1000 Unlike Firearms Shooting and Close-Combat Fighting these extended abilities are additional branches in the tree so, in order to activate them, it not only requires sufficient proficiency points but also free Talent points. Because of this situation, he was surprised to get a Free Talent Point after hunting Rhodes. Counting the 1 Free Talent Point that he didnt use for a long time and now 1 point for hunting Rhodes, Ross now has 2 Free Talent Points. Ross still had 25 proficiency points and he quickly used them on the Distortion Fruit. For the promotion of any talent on the talent tree will require proficiency points and if any talent managed to reach up to 50 or 100 points, then his overall strength will be greatly improved. After hunting a pirate of this level I can finally put a point in the first talent branch of Distortion Fruit. After putting proficiency points in his fruit he felt that his control over the devils fruit has improved a lot. Ross nodded and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes. Light Distortion. This branch of talent seems to be useless but it has great growth features such as Light Distortion to create an illusionary image, doppelgangers and so on. It can even distort light and directly deprive any enemy of his vision making it a very strong and useful talent. Unless someone has mastered the Observation Haki, they will be greatly constrained and limited under Light Distortion ability. Observation Haki. As soon as he thought of the Observation Haki Ross couldnt help but look up. At the top of the talent tree, there were three talents: Observation Haki (Kenbunshoku Haki), Armament Haki (Busoshoku Haki) and Conquerors Haki (Haoshoku Haki) But these three talents were now grayed out, indicating that he has not yet reached the conditions to activate these talents and what those conditions are he doesnt know, it may be that his Free Talent Points are not enough, it may be that his physical strength is still not up to the level of practicing all three types of Haki. Eh? Just as Ross eyes glanced at the talent tree and planned to go out, he accidentally discovered that there was a region in which a talent changed from gray to green. Green color means that a talent can be activated. Marines Rokushiki Is this talent unlocked? There are six talents in this area of Marines Rokushiki which are Shave(Soru), Moon Steps(Geppou), Strom Leg(Rankyaku), Iron Blocks(Tekkai), Paper Drawing(Kami-e) and Finger gun(Shigan). Among them, Paper Arts(Kami-e) and Shave(Soru) have become emerald green and other talents Moon Steps(Geppou), Strom Leg(Rankyaku), Iron Blocks(Tekkai), and Finger gun(Shigan) were still gray. Should I raise the points of Closed-Combat Fighting to the Control Level which will satisfy the activation conditions for Paper Drawing(Kami-e) and Shave(Soru). It seems like my speculation was correct, I will need to have a certain physical strength to meet certain conditions or activate certain specific talents to unlock Other talents. Ross secretly nodded and looked at the Paper Drawing(Kami-e) and Shave(Soru) while thinking. To activate Paper Drawing(Kami-e) and Shave(Soru), I will need 1 Free Talent Point. He now has two Free Talent Points and can activate both talents at the same time. The problem is that the Free Talent Points are not something that can be obtained by hunting pirates. He had hunted four or five Pirates who had a bounty of about 10 million berries in half a year before he got 2 Free Talent Points. Finally, Ross decided to activate the ability Shave(Soru), one of the six-technique of Marines Rokushiki. Shave(Soru) is a kind of high-speed moving body technique whereas Paper Drawing(Kami-e) is a kind of dodging technique. If a situation is really dangerous he can escape with Shave(Soru). It is impossible to activate Paper Drawing(Kami-e) in the process of running away. He has left behind a Free Talent Point as a reserve so that if the Distortion Fruits proficiency ever reaches the limit, and if he isnt able to activate Light Distortion ability, it would be a very embarrassing situation. Whoosh! After adding one Free Talent Point to the emerald green colored branches of Shave(Soru), the branch quickly flashed and suddenly turned into a golden color while at the same time a force was quickly poured into Rosss body. Ross closed his eyes and his eyeballs continued to rotate. Only a few seconds have passed but for Ross, it seemed like he had trained continuously for three whole months. When he opened his eyes, Sorus Steps were already deeply imprinted into his bones and memories. Ross breathed a sigh of relief and immediately tried it. Soru! Rosss entire body seems to disappear suddenly. With very fast and outrageous speed, he rushed out. He was so fast that ordinary people cant even see him! After practicing Shave(Soru) for a few more times, Ross returned to his original position while breathing slightly harder and in his eyes, there was a little hesitation. While in the state of Shave(Soru), the speed at which I can move is at least two or three times more than my normal speed, but the physical exertion required is also several times more than then in his normal speed. But the overall performance is quite good and satisfying. In Agility Enhancement in the General type talent point, his speed is very fast. With the help of Shave(Soru), pirates with less than 20 million bounty would not be able to do anything to him, they could wait to be killed, and would not know how to respond to his speed. I guess, its time to go now. Ross breath became steady and he grabbed Rhodes head which is worth 16 million Berries, left the street and soon came to the shore. Two boats were docked on the shore. One was slightly larger, with a pirate flag hanging, and the other was a little smaller. It was Rosss boat. The pirate ship was naturally the ship of the Machete Pirates. There were two pirates left from the original crew on the ship but Ross had already cleaned them up when he arrived. Paa! Ross threw Rhodess head on his boat, jumped on it with a light leap. He then skillfully untied the rope, hoisted up the sail and paddled away. In the Living type talent branch, the only thing he has is sailing. After all, this is the world of One Piece, he would in a very difficult situation if he doesnt know sailing. CHAPTER 3 MARINE BASE Ross was located in the Ookisa sea area. The islands here were much more densely distributed. It was one of the five biggest sea areas of West Blue. Although its only a sea area of ??West Blue, the pirates in this area were much stronger than East Blue. The bounty of the strongest pirates in this part of the sea can go up 35 million Berries and there are many pirates with the bounty of 20 million berries. However. So far only four pirates, whose bounty exceeds 10 million berries were killed by him. The present age is the Great Age of Pirates that started ten years ago. Although Yonk (Four Emperors) have already formed their own territories, the Seven Warlords of the Sea were still scattered and has not yet formed social order. For Ross who want to punch Yonk (Four Emperors) and Shichibukai and kick the Marine Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), he still has a long way to go. After half a day. Ross came to an island closest to him with a Marine base division on it. The island was not very big. There is only one small town on the island which is where he often spends his time. That is Ghost Hand Ross! Residents in the town saw Ross walking into the town from the shore and they all showed a frightened expression. Some people took their children back home and some people closed their door tightly. Pirate Hunter job that involves hunting pirates is not a very glamorous job compared to being a Marine. After all most of the Pirate Hunters are in this business to acquire some money. Ross didnt care about it. He didnt like pirates, and he didnt like Marine. The pirates had no place to go. They were running on the sea chased by Marine. Marine had to obey orders and their orders restricted them everywhere. There are some people in the Marine whose very being is more disgusting than the pirates. In comparison, Pirate Hunter is a much more relaxed career. Its Ghost Hand Ross! Why has he come here again? It seems like it has only been less than half a month since he was here! Rosss arrival made the Marine division appear chaotic and countless Marines were alarmed. Many recruits and military sergeants saw the head in Rosss hand and their faces showed a bit of fear. Their forehead had beads of sweat on them and they swallowed their saliva from time to time. Not long after he came to the base, the highest chief of the Marine Division, Captain Moby came to the hall wearing a Marine cloak with the word justice. Who is it this time? Captain Moby calmed down, but his expression didnt look so good. Their Marine base has not been able to catch any pirates with a bounty of more than 10 million berries for two or three months. On the other hand, Ross, a Pirate Hunter, had completed three such bounties in just two months. He had done what thousands of marines couldnt do. Although the murderous pirates being killed is a good thing but this kind of thing often symbolizes their incompetence as a Marine that they actually need to rely on a Pirate Hunter to kill the pirates. Machete Rhodes bounty of 16 million Berries. Ross took the head from his arms and gently pressed it on the table, and hinted for Captain Moby to come over and compared it to the wanted poster. Captain Moby heard his words and looked a little surprised. Rhodes was killed by you? He had once led the Marines to hunt down Rhodes but he escaped before they could capture him. He didnt expect that only a month after that incident Rhodes was killed by Ross. He only had to look at the head on the table once and he knew that it did belong to the pirate machete Rhodes. You will have to wait, I need to report this to higher authorities. Captain Moby stared at Rhodess head for a few seconds then looked at Ross deeply and turned and walked back into his office. Not long after that Captain Moby came to the hall again, saying: It has been confirmed, the posted bounty will be sent soon. Captain Moby said, and then his next sentence was a little unpleasant: Marines are presently recruiting new recruits. Headquarters asked me if you would like to join Marine. If you like to join you will be directly given the military rank of Marine Commander. Join Marine? Ross touched his chin and said, Forget about it. I have no such ambitions. Catching bounties are enough to survive daily. Moby snorted. He didnt want to see Ross join Marine. It was Headquarters who asked him to come over and ask him. Now, Ross has refused which is good. A few hours later. Rhodes 16 million bounty was sent over in a backpack. Ross opened his eyes and as he was too lazy to count he got up and left the base with the money. Captain, are we going to do nothing? Commander Leica stood next to Moby and watched Rosss departing back with clenched teeth and a cold expression in his eyes. What? What do you want to do? Moby glanced at Leica and snorted heavily. If you want to recover your lost prestige, go and do your work! Arrest all the pirates who are running rampant everywhere! Leica was berated by Moby. The muscles on his face twitched and he lowered his head, but nobody realized that when he lowered his head, his expression was extremely icy. After leaving the Marine base, it was already close to midnight. Ross was not afraid of someone robbing him in the middle of the night and he carried the backpack of money to the coast then sat on his own boat and after driving the boat, he returned to where he lives. This is a medium level island. There are seven or eight towns on this island and there is a bustling city in the center. The place where Ross lives is one of the towns. When he came back it was already the next morning. Eh, Ross, you are back. Did your trip went smoothly? Are there any injuries? Did you eat something? We just cooked, come over and eat? The residents of this town were very enthusiastic about Ross because a few months ago the pirates patronized the town and it was Ross who stood up. He defeated many pirates and saved the people of the town. Ross smiled and greeted everyone in the town and returned to the small house where he lived. He threw the backpack with money on the bed and lay down on the bed to rest. He slept the entire day right until the afternoon. After waking up Ross counted the money he currently has. There are more than 40 million Berries here. It is enough for me to buy a big ship but the crew is a problem Rosss face held a little hesitation. Nico Robin is on this small island hiding in the underground dark intelligence agency in the central city. Ross wants to recruit her as a crew member but once she gets on the boat he along with her will be wanted by the Marine and she and he can only become pirates of the sea. In the end, it is still about strength, I am still not strong enough. If I had enough strength then whether it is a pirate or a Marine no one would dare to provoke me even if our identities are exposed. Ross shook his head and left the house. He planned to go out to eat something. After he comes back, he will work hard to increase his strength. Although physical training will not improve his Talent Proficiency, this improvement is independent of the Talent System. His current physique is not strong, so there is a huge room for improvement. CHAPTER 4 SCAPEGOA A portion of seafood noodles. When he came to a small restaurant in town, Ross found a place to sit down and greeted the owner before giving his order. The restaurant owner naturally knew Ross. After grinning at him, he poured a glass of water for Ross and then he walked into the rear room of the restaurant and tied his apron. Ross drank the given water while thinking about what direction to take for the next training. Suddenly A disturbance on the street interrupted Rosss thoughts. He looked up and saw a large team of Marines holding guns and swords walking through the streets and searching around for something or someone. What are they doing? Rosss face showed a strange expression. Could a pirate have sneaked into the town? As he sat there and watched the Marines search around, a Marine soldier suddenly saw him sitting in the restaurant. Hes here! The Marine first glimpsed at him and then immediately bellowed for his comrades as he raised the gun in his hand and pointed it directly at Ross. Almost in the exact moment, the Marines on the entire street rushed over surrounding the restaurant and Ross in the center as numerous guns aimed at him. Criminal Ross surrender now! Dont try to resist you are surrounded by us! A Marine Lieutenant Commander rushed to the front, raised a long sword in his hand and shouted at Ross with a serious look. Ross was still holding the glass of drinking water in his hand as he looked at the scene in front of his eyes change suddenly. For a moment, he stared blankly. Youwhat are you doing? He looked around in his surroundings. He was alone in the entire restaurant. His eyebrows gradually wrinkled and he put down the glass of water he was holding and asked the numerous Marines. Um? The Marine Lieutenant Commander frowned but he immediately put a cold expression on his face, and shouted loudly: Dont feign ignorance, the crime you have committed is impossible to disappear. Allow yourself to be seized without putting up a fight. Me? Committed a crime? Ross had a strange expression on his face, annoyed, doubtful and a multitude of expression crossed his face. I am a Pirate Hunter and I hunt pirates, am I guilty for that? What the hell? The Marine Lieutenant Commander saw that Ross was still feigning ignorance and he couldnt help but shout: Quickly come out and surrender, otherwise we will use attack! The expressions on Rosss face gradually turned cold. He chose to be a Pirate Hunter because, on one hand, he needs to hunt and kill pirates for the Talent System and, on the other hand, he didnt want to be pursued by Marines and get into conflict with them. But not wanting to be in conflict with Marines does not mean that he is afraid of them. Without rhyme or reason, Marines are saying that he is a criminal and wants him to surrender and put him in handcuffs. What the hell is this? Can you tell me first what crimes have I committed? Ross looked coldly at the Marines outside. The Marine Lieutenant Commander heard what Ross said and his expression turned to anger: When you are being judged, you will know what crimes you have committed! After his voice fell, he directly issued the order and the numerous Marines pulled the trigger and fired countless bullets towards Ross. Bang! Almost at the instant the Marines opened fire, the ground under Ross burst and broke like a spider web and the table in front of him also shattered at the same time. He was like a ghost as he rushed out of the restaurant. Where is he? How did he vanish?! The Marine Lieutenant Commander was shocked. He slashed with his sword but nothing was cut as Ross had disappeared from the restaurant into thin air. Not far from the restaurant Ross stood on a roof behind a chimney, glancing at the town below him and found that the entire town had been surrounded by the Marines, and on the distant shore there were two Battleships docked. He could not help but frown at this situation. Such a big movement Besides hunting the pirates, I have not done anything that will alarm the Marines. Now it seems that something has happened and the charges have been thrown on my head. Ross was annoyed from the bottom of his heart and his eyes were showing traces of anger, whoever framed him will pay. This is not over! But first, he needs to figure out what is going on here. Ross came down from the roof and came to an alleyway waiting for a moment a team of Marines passed by him and he pulled the last Marine from the team into the alley with one hand on his mouth. If you dare to scream you will lose your head. Ross took out a dagger from his pocket and pressed it against the marines neck. He looked at him coldly and slowly let go of his hand from the marines mouth. The marine soldier was terrified and he wanted to shout out loud, but the sharp and cold dagger on his neck made him feel as if his neck was pinched. Ross asked coldly: The first question, what is your purpose? II.. The marine soldier looked at Ross while trembling in fear. He was afraid that if Rosss hand shook, his neck will be cut off. Ross put the dagger a little farther away and said coldly: Quickly speak! The orders are to arre.. arrest Ghost Hand Ross The marine soldier saw the dagger move away and he breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still looking at Ross with fear and a stuttering answer came out of his mouth. Ross nodded and stared at the marine soldiers eyes, asking coldly: The second question why are you trying arrest me? The soldier took a moment as he didnt expect Ross to ask such a question. A strange and confused look passed in his eyes, but he still answered with a stutter under the threat of the dagger. Yes it is because of the massacre of the Tarot town you are the prime culprit. When he heard this, Ross frowned and was about to ask what the Tarot town massacre was, but suddenly there was a big noise outside the alley. Hes here! Seeing that he has been discovered by Marine, Ross was too lazy to ask again. He was obviously bewildered that he was framed for Tarot town massacre. As for what the Tarot town massacre was he knew of a place where he can ask about it. Whiz! Ross once again uses shave(soru) and his body flashed and disappeared into an alleyway, leaving behind the marine soldier who had just survived a disaster. He leaned against the wall with a puzzled and doubtful expression. He doesnt know why we want to arrest him? The West Blues Marines were completely different from the original works East Blue Marine. In the original works East Blue, after catching a big pirate with a bounty of 1500 million Berries, you can directly rise to the captain level from a military officer. The reason for that is that in the East Blue the highest bounty a pirate have is only at 20 million Berries. But, in the West Blue, the highest bounty pirates can have gone as high as 50 million Berries. Even in this sea area where Ross is currently located, the highest bounty is more than 30 million Berries. Therefore West Blues Marines face much more difficulty in promoting than East Blue marines. That is to say, the overall strength of West Blue Marines is much larger than East Blue marines and the marines in the West blue are stronger than any Four seas except for the Grand Line. If any pirate with a bounty of 20 million or so meets a Marine Captain, he will basically turn around and ran away because the possibility of his escaping is very high, as it is almost impossible to win against such marine because each Marine Captain has at least arrested pirates having a bounty of 30 million berries. But, After Ross selected shaving(soru) , this talent, his strength is enough to overcome any of the average pirates having a bounty of 30 million Berries. So under the encirclement of Marines, Ross did not take much effort to get rid of Marine on his tail and left the town behind. CHAPTER 5 UNDERGROUND INTELLIGENCE ORGANIZATION Because he didnt want to be hunted by Marines on the island, Ross made a situation where it seemed like he had already escaped by a boat on the sea and then quietly returned to the island. This method may not necessarily be able to deceive Marines for long, but it doesnt matter to Ross how long he has, he just wants to figure out what the situation he is in. I should go to Ghale City. Ross took a long look at the town where he lived for the past year. After shaking his head, he turned around and walked along the path towards the bustling city in the middle of the island. There is an Underground Intelligence Organization in the city. A large part of the information on many pirates he hunted was obtained from there. Along the path, and passing over the mountains. Two hours later. Ross wore a leather jacket with a low hat that hides most of his recognizable features and was walking on the streets of Ghale City. He did not deliberately hide his whereabouts and the people of the Ghale City also did not react much. It seems that the things that happened in Tarot town have not spread here yet. But what Ross wants to know is not just about the Tarot Town, He also wants to know who made him take the fall for the said situation and get rid of him and solve this situation if possible so that he wouldnt be pursued by the Marines. Just as Ross walked to the location of the Underground intelligence organization, there were suddenly a lot of newspapers spilling from the sky in the streets not far away from his position. Many people picked up the newspaper and looked at it. Unbelievable! Ghost Hand Ross actually looted and slaughtered a small town? Didnt he hunted down several pirates with bounty more than 10 million berries?! Many people looked at the newspapers and they were shocked. Rosss footsteps paused. He pulled the brim of his hat down again and walked over to the crowd and quietly picked up a newspaper. The Tarot town massacre. Only around 70 people lived in the town. The town that was always warm was looted and slaughtered overnight. The whole town was burned into ruins. After careful investigation by Marines, the chief culprit was found to be Pirate Hunter Ghost Hand Ross. Rosss face was getting darker and darker as he read the newspaper. At this time, the voices of the many passers-by next to him were also passed into his ear. I didnt expect that Ghost Hand Ross would be turned out to be such a terrible pirate! I have already said that Pirate Hunters are similar to the pirates as they are all guys who go after pirates for money. It is not unusual that one of them would do this kind of thing. I hope Marines can capture this guy. The fingers holding the newspaper gradually exerted force and the newspaper in his hands crumpled. Ross was silent for a moment, then he turned and walked into the alleyway next to him while throwing the newspaper in a trash can. After crossing a few streets. Ross came to a tavern, which was empty. Only the boss sat at the counter, yawning. Ross walked into the tavern, glanced at the boss behind the counter. He didnt talk to him and directly walked towards the inner room of the tavern. He then pushed open the door and walked down a staircase leading Underground. The stairs were extremely narrow but he arrived at the end, they suddenly widened and there was an open room with many fine tables and chairs like a high-class tavern. this is really big news! Ghost Hand Ross this guy. Tsk tsk, now that this has happened, we will definitely lose a business colleague in the future. Not just that but the Marines will definitely release a bounty. I dont know how high his bounty will be, but I dont think it will be any less than 20 million Berries! Several Pirate Hunters sat on the couch and held several newspapers in their hands, discussing. It was at this time that Ross walked down from above. As soon as everyone saw Ross, their arguments came to an abrupt end. All eyes converge on Ross and at that time everyones reaction was different, some sneered, some raised the corners of their mouths, and some showed anxiety. There was no expression of anger on Rosss face, instead, there was a calmness that made peoples heart palpitate. He glanced around the hall indifferently. There was silence in the tavern. No one was making any jokes or doing anything. Although, the situation that Ross is currently facing was very bad, and he may even be captured for Marines bounty, but Rosss strength is recognized as powerful among the Pirate Hunters. Most of the other Pirate Hunters works by forming teams and most of the targets are pirates with a bounty of less than 10 million. Even if they hunted a pirate with more than 10 million bounties, it is only occasional and not something that they can do regularly. But Ross was different than them. Ross is a solo pirate hunter and he does not work with any group, despite that he alone has hunted several strong pirates with bounties more than 10 million berries in just a few months of time. This shows that his strength is very powerful and in the underground world or in the pirate hunters circle, strength means everything. When Ross saw that no one was talking, he retracted his gaze and walked straight into the interior of the hall, pushed a door open and walked inside. When the door was completely closed, many people in the hall sighed. Huu, I didnt expect him to come here at this time It seems that Marines encirclement failed completely. They are really useless as ever. Someone said as he picked up a glass of wine and sipped from it. I dont know to what level this matter will eventually develop to. Right, what do you think he is here for? He cant be Pirate Hunter now. The person next to him shrugged: Who knows? Maybe he wants some intelligence on Marines and then flee from here. Within a room in the Underground building. Compared to the outside, it was much quieter here. The sound canceling effect was also very good. After the door was closed, the voices discussing outside were unable to pass through. The interior room is not large. It only had a sofa, a bookshelf, and a desk. Behind the desk sat a middle-aged man with a thick beard. He had a cigar in his mouth. He is the leader of the Underground Intelligence Organization. Terun. Next to the desk. A girl who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a black shawl was carefully sorting out a pile of documents as if silently memorizing them. The girls appearance was very immature but Ross recognized her directly when he first saw her a few months ago. It was Devil Child Nico Robin from the original work. In the current timeline, she is still struggling to survive by hiding in the Underground world. She is currently a key figure in this Underground Intelligence Organization. Relying on her strong memory, she can remember all kinds of information so that it can be handed over at any time. Ohh, Ghost Hand Ross? I didnt expect you to come over at this time. Terun was sitting behind his desk as looked up at Ross. The current circumstances surrounding you are not very good. Ross calmly looked at Terun and said, You must know about my reasoning to come here, then you should know what information I want. Teruns mouth raised slightly and he put the cigar in his mouth down: Is it about Tarot town? I have inside intelligence here but with your current identity, selling the intelligence to you will bear a lot of risks so the price needs to be doubled. Ross stared at Terun for a moment. No problem. CHAPTER 6 CAPONE FAMILY Very well. Terun smiled and turned to look at Nico Robin next to him. The inside intelligence on Tarot town, we havent burned it yet, right? Give it to him directly. Sixteen-year-old Nico Robin nodded and her little hand flipped a few times. Soon, she took out two sheets of paper and walked over to Ross to hand the paper. Two intelligence reports on the town, without any encryption. Ross took two sheets from Robins hand and looked at them. After Robin passed the sheets, she quietly returned to her original position and continued to organize and memorize the mess of intelligence in front of her. If you ask Ross to choose a person to be his assistant from the people he has contacted so far, he will definitely choose Nico Robin. Although she is much younger than in the original work, she has a bounty of 79 million Berries at the age of eight and she has actually been able to survive in West Blues Underground World until now. Her abilities are almost indisputable. If he wants to form a crew, except for her, Ross had also carefully considered Trafalgar law and others. Both are careful, and their attitude matched with his style of doing things. But They are all people who want to become pirates and Ross will have to consider things very carefully. Also at the present time, he does not intend to become a pirate without any rhyme or reason. Its not his black pot. Why should he carry it on his shoulders? Since the Marine side is a group of idiots, then he would have to uncover the person who shifted the blame on him and bring justice. There are not many words written on the paper. After Ross finished reading, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled. He clenched the slip of paper in hand and pondered. He had thought that it was the work of some pirate group who had framed him. But he didnt expect that instead of pirates, it involves the underground criminal syndicates forces of West Blue. Capone Family is the criminal syndicate family of Capone Bege, one of the supernovas in the original work. Ross thought for a moment and gradually his face turned cold. No matter what kind of influence they have, but after framing him for something that he didnt do, they think that they can just sit back and relax, then they are completely mistaken. I need information on the Capone Family in this area. Ross looked up at Terun who had stood up without him noticing. Terun flicked the cigar ash, thinks for a second and says: I know what kind of the information you want and I have it, but the price for that information will cost you a lot. No problem. After Ross nodded, Terun looked at Robin on the side. Tell him. Robin nodded and walked towards Ross and after her eyes slightly come into contact with Rosss eyes, she narrated the information that Ross needed in a low voice. After Ross wrote down the information, he took out a few stacks of money from his backpack and threw it to Terun, after that he turned and left. Robins eyes stayed on Rosss back for a few seconds before returning back to the stack of intelligence files on the table. Ross left the inner room, and under the different gazes of the numerous Pirate Hunters in the outside side, he left the Underground base. Something unexpected happened to Ross as he ran into a patrol of marines who were inspecting in all directions, just as he came out of the base. Ghost Hand Ross is here! Someone screamed and immediately there were several guns aimed at Ross and they fired. Ross did not have Marines Rokushiki Tekkai (Iron Body), nor Armament Haki in his possession. Even ordinary firepower can cause certain damage to him. Annoying! Ross stepped his foot on the ground and flashed into the opposite alleyway. He was really annoyed with this group of Marines who were chasing after him. He had the idea of ??destroying all the Marines but he repressed that idea down. Whizz! Ross was rushing in the alleyway and suddenly there was a figure dressed in the marine costume racing after him at the same speed as him. Ghost Hand Ross, quickly allow yourself to be captured without putting up a fight. You will not be able to escape today The man was one of the Commander at the nearby Marine base. He had defeated and arrested pirates with the bounty of 1800 million Berries. Surprisingly, he can also use Shave (Soru) of Marines Rokushiki! He can even use Shave(Soru)? Ross glanced back at the Marine Commander from the corner of his eyes. The same military ranks in different regions, but differences in strength is huge. East Blues Marine Commander may not even able to defeat pirates who have a bounty of 10 million Berries, while in the Grand Lines, there are many Devil Fruit users among the Marine Commander, as for the Marine Commander of New World, they can even use Armament Haki. You want me to surrender without putting up a fight? After the Marine Commander had chased him to a street, he suddenly roared and his entire body charged at Ross back and suddenly punched. Ross turned around impatiently and received the punch. I have other things to do. I have no time to accompany you Marines to play, so get lost. Boom! Both of their fists collided with each other, the strength possessed by Marine Commander was weaker than Ross, so he takes two steps back while his entire arm was numb. Ross spread out both of his hands and swept over the wall on one side of the alleyway. The walls suddenly twisted and collapsed, and smashed down directly in Marine Commanders face. When the Marine Commander saw this, his pupils shrank slightly and when he rushed out of the collapsed wall, Ross had already disappeared. Sure enough he is a Devil Fruit user and twisting the wall, no wonder they call him Ghost hand The Commander looked at the distorted wall and his mind wandered back to the punch Ross threw. His forehead was overflowing with a cold sweat and he was a little scared from the bottom of his heart. Even though Marine had laid a tight pursuit circle on the island, and bombarded the guns on Ross, making him cut a sorry figure, but with the Marines Rokushiki Shave(Soru), he still rushed out of the encirclement. His ship was already gone. He directly stole a small boat on the side while dropped down hundreds of thousands of Berries, then he left the island by boat. The information given to him by Robin about Capone Mafias in this sea area was very detailed, specifically the detailed location of the base built by Capone Family in this sea area. Haig island. This island is not far from the place where Ross was located. Its about two days journey. Ross had once gone to that island when he was hunting pirates and was not unfamiliar to it. Sailing all the way into the sea, he would no longer be pursued by Marine. Even if they are obviously Marines, they can not easily lock onto Ross position in the vast sea and chase him. If they could reach that level then the pirates will not be spread unchecked in this world. However In the process of sailing something unpleasant happened. It was when a news bird landed on his boat with newspaper. He had bought a newspaper and found out his new bounty poster. Ghost Hand Ross, Dead or Alive, 22 million Berries. Marines really took swift action. Ross has been often been hunting pirates everywhere around this time. Very rarely does bounty posters leave his hand. But now holding his own bounty poster, he feels very bad. Being issued a bounty for arrest by Marines and being pursued all over the sea by them is a particularly annoying thing for Ross, so he has never wanted this situation to occur. And now there is an even more serious problem. In this situation even if he destroys Capone Mafia and throws the truth at Marines, would they retract his bounty order? At these thoughts, Rosss face gradually became gloomy. He finally took a deep breath. In any case, he had to go to Haig Town and see who had got him into such a troublesome situation as they had already touched his bottom line. CHAPTER 7 IF THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE Haig town. At first glance, it seemed like an ordinary town but the residents of this town are living in fear and trepidation because there are often a large number of Capone Mafia members appearing in the town. These gangsters collude with local authorities and even have inside trading with Marines. Many times they arbitrarily kill and set fire to anything they hate and Marine only do a symbolic inspection. Center of the town. In a building which has a simple exterior but very luxurious interior. In a hall on the top floor of the building, a tall fat man wearing a black suit was sitting there watching the information in his hand that had just been sent to him. He shook his head while looking at the report with disdain. Marines are still useless as always. If you had surrounded the place in advance then you cant let a Pirate Hunter escape, that is just pathetic. The man saying this is Capone Leckie. He is one of several High-Level members of the criminal syndicate Capone Family and is responsible for the development of his Underground organization in this area. A man in a black suit with glasses stood next to him and said: The strength possessed by Ghost Hand Ross was a bit unexpected. Leader, do you think that this will involve us? What involvement? I have already investigated all the information on Ghost Hand Ross, he has always been alone. Can he even fight us alone? Our troops will not lose even if they have to compete with the entire Marine division. Hewont be able to do anything to us. Leckie shook his head disdainfully and picked up a glass of red wine on the table. However. Just as he put the glass of red wine on his lips, the entire building suddenly shook with a dull roar and the red wine in the cup spilled on him. Leckie was furious as he stood up after putting the glass down. What? What happened? LeLeader Leckie, this is not good, someone has invaded from outside! A Capone Mafias subordinate frantically ran over from outside, and reported to Leckie with a terrified look on his face. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the atmosphere in the entire hall froze, while the maids hand who was trying to clean Leckies suit trembled, her eyes revealing a panic-stricken look. Leckie was startled and asked: Who has invaded? Are they Marines or Dupo Mafias bastards? Why was there be no news? No not Marine nor Dupo Mafia. Its Ghost Hand Ross, he rushed in alone! The member of the mafia trembled in fear. Leckies eyes were wide open, Ghost Hand Ross? Did he come alone? What are you guys doing then, go out there and kill him using all of our forces! Just as he finished giving orders there was a loud bang at the door and the exquisite red oak door exploded, sawdust was flying everywhere and at that moment a figure came in. Who is Capone Leckie? Rosss clothes were a bit messed up, but the expression in his eyes was completely different, the moment Ross eyes fall upon them, they felt their entire body froze up, and they felt as if they were standing outside in a blizzard. The several people in the hall couldnt help but turn their gaze towards Capone Leckie, and Rosss gaze also shifted towards him. The situation in Tarot town was done by you, wasnt it? Ross looked indifferently at Capone Leckie. Capone Leckie was shocked by the intimidating aura produced by Ross, but after all, he was also one of the high-level officer of the Capone Family. He quickly calmed down and said coldly. What about it? As Capone Leckies voice fell, members of Capone Mafia rushed in and the hallway outside was completely packed with people. Its good that I did not found the wrong person. Ross didnt care about the Capone Mafia members outside who came from all over the place. After confirming that it was indeed Leckie, he nodded as he shook his wrist and took out a pistol, fired six shots from his gun instantly killing six criminal organization members who rushed in. Ross followed that act by throwing the pistol aside and rushed directly towards Capone Leckie. Ross was surrounded by hundreds of people holding guns and other weapons, the situation was not very good for Ross, so he did not intend to waste any time. Dont be too arrogant, boy! Capone Leckies eyes were filled with coldness and anger, he quickly took out two pistols and shot at Ross. Ross avoided the bullets shot at him by Capone Leckie by using Marines Rokushiki Shave(Soru). Damn! Capone Leckie didnt expect Ross to avoid his bullets at such a close distance. After the barrel of the gun was emptied, he pulled out a long sword at his waist and prepared to fight Ross out. Rosss eyes were indifferent, he did not retreat and also didnt draw the sword. Instead, his five fingers clenched into fist and slammed into Capone Leckies sword. Buzz! Ross didnt use Armament Hakis, but his hands were wrapped in distortion power working exactly like Whitebeard Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but the color on his hands was not white but it was colorless and transparent and distorted the air present around it. This is the new ability that Ross can display after his Proficiency in Distortion Fruit has reached 75. He can attach distortion power directly to his fist. Although he cant do any long-range attack, he still has the ability to deal with any sword bare-handed! Ka! When Capone Leckies sword touched the partially distorted area around the fist, the entire sword was forced into the air by a force and it became very difficult to move the sword even by an inch! Devil Fruit User Capone Leckies pupils shrank but at this time he was already unable to change anything. He screamed, his hands still clenching the hilt of his sword and tried to chop it down. But even though he tried his best, the long sword he held was still twisted and broken at a speed visible to the naked eye. Kacha! Kacha! Eventually, the entire sword was twisted into a spiral form of iron. Ross took back his fist and held the twisted sword in front of him in his hands. The twisted sword was smashed into a ball of iron, and he threw the ball at the door, smashing the head of a rushing criminal organization member. you Capone Leckies was finally frightened, he flinched as he took a step back, he saw a window and rushed toward it, planning jump out of it to escape but was stopped. Ross suddenly appeared behind him pulling his collar and pressed him against the wall. Tell your men to get out.Rosss indifferent said. Capone Leckie as the High-Level officer of the Capone Family has experienced big and small fights many times, but it was the first time he had seen someone rushing into his base alone and take control of it like this. Feeling the hand that was pressed on his neck, he realized that there was no strange power to it but fear begins to spread in Capone Leckie heart as he remembers the scene of his own sword that was twisted into a spiral iron piece. Dont, dont come in! You all go out! He shouted. Many members of the criminal organization looked at each other blankly before going out one by one. Ross glanced at the door and slowly returned his gaze towards Capone Leckie, his hand still holding his neck and pressed him against the wall. No one is going bother us now. You what are you doing? I can give you money if that is what you want, just name the price. For Capone Leckie, at this moment the most important thing is his own life. Since Ross is Pirate Hunter, in his opinion he would want nothing but money. No, I am not interested in money. Ross shook his head, released Capone Leckie, took a piece of paper from his arms, and threw a recording device at him. I dont like being a scapegoat for others. The Tarot town incident has nothing to do with me. I need you to tell the truth to the Marines. When he heard Ross, Capone Leckie suddenly looked at him. He looked at the pen and paper that Ross threw on the floor and suddenly shook his head. It turns out that you want this Sorry, even if I did this, it wouldntwork, because I didnt do this, I didnt frame you. Not done by you, what do you mean? Rosss brow was slightly wrinkled. Capone Leckie raised his mouth slightly and said: Want to know who is behind this? I can tell ah ah!! He didnt finish the word as the muscles on the whole arm were twisted into a terrible curve, and a terrifying sound was emitted as his muscles collapsed. Who did it? Ross asked indifferently. You, damn it Capone Leckies was frightened and angry, he cursed at Ross but was only able to complete half of the sentence before he looked in Ross eyes and suddenly stopped. In the face of death, he eventually retreated and his tone weakened as he slowly said: Its Marine Commander Leica. This is what he proposed. All of the specific things were done by Marine and have nothing to do with me. There was silence in the air. Marine Commander Leica Ross muttered in a low voice, the expressions on his face couldnt be described in words and he looked at Capone Leckie, suddenly shaking his wrist. Kacha!! One of Capones Leckies arms was twisted into a twist, and the flesh and blood cracked. It was terrible, and he almost passed out from the intense pain. I want to hear the truth.Rosss indifferent said. Under the pain, Capone Leckie couldnt help but curse and said, You you damn bastard! I am telling the truth! Are you? Rosss backhanded him, and the other arm of Capone Leckie twisted again. After repeating the process several times while asking questions, there were only broken pieces of meat remains in the hall. It seems he is telling the truth. Ross slowly retracted his hand as he bypassed the body of Capone Leckie and came to the window, looking out into the blue sea in the distance. This incident was initiated by Marines. Ross already suspected this from the beginning. After all, this kind of thing is too big. If there are no marines involved then it is almost impossible to plan this thing. The problem right now is Whether the entire marine base was involved in this or was it done by Leica alone? Ross has been avoiding a head-on conflict with Marines because he really doesnt like to be wanted for life and to be given a bounty, but that doesnt mean he is afraid of marines! Your plan was brilliant, Marine. Ross smiled. He plans to go to the Marine base to make a final decision. He did not want to have a bounty on his head, nor does he wanted to become a pirate, but if there is no other choice then he must become a pirate And he will turn the entire world completely upside down! CHAPTER 8 CHARGES INTO THE MARINE’S BASE Marine Branch. In an office at the highest floor, Marine Commander Leica listened to the latest intelligence report given by his subordinate, and the expression on his face gradually became somewhat ugly. Haig town was attacked by Ghost Hand Ross and Capone Familys Capone Leckie was brutally murdered by him?! As a Marine Commander, his salary is not high and capturing the pirates is an inherent job, he cant get a bounty out of it. He can only get military exploits, so he has always had a close relationship with Capone Mafia. Some time ago Capone Mafia slaughtered the Tarot town and gave him a part of the money looted from there to let him cover up this matter, but he got a sudden inspiration and he did not cover up this matter but deliberately planted some clues to pin this thing on Rosss head. And as the matter stand, he not only completed his deal with Capone Mafia but was also able to frame Ghost Hand Ross for it. By doing this Marines prestige will not be constantly damaged by that pirate hunter. Its like killing two birds with one stone. What he didnt expect, however, was that Rosss strength was a little beyond his expectations, as he escaped the encirclement of the marines. Now. Capone Leckie, who he often traded with was killed by Ross in his own base camp, which means that Ross probably already knows the truth. Thinking of this, Leicas face becomes gloomy and he snorted. So what if he knows the truth he had already been labeled as a ferocious pirate. Even if he publish the truth, how many people will believe it? Marines are always on the side of justice. For the civilian population, Marines are always the most credible. Ross is charged with the crime and it is impossible to escape from this. The only trouble is that if this matter continues to drag on, then it may be known to Captain Moby and other Commanders. After all, Tarot towns situation was handled by him, but the other Commanders have the power to inquire about this matter and they will, if the current situation continues to escalate. In that case, he will be in great trouble. If he wants to avoid trouble, then he must arrest or execute Ross as soon as possible. Just as Leica was thinking of a solution, a Marine soldier rushed into his office and ran towards Leica. Commander Leica! Someone found traces of Ghost Hand Ross on the island! Where? Leica stood up suddenly. The Marine soldier rushed to report: It is said that he appeared in the West Coast. Captain Moby and Captain Tamo have already taken some people there. A Marine Lieutenant Commander standing next to Leica said with a strange look on his face: Is that guy crazy? He is unexpectedly walking directly into a trap in our Marine base? Leicas also frowned as this situation was a bit strange. Could it be that Ross knew that he had secretly arranged something and planned to look for him to trouble him? Thinking of this, he had a look of disbelief on his face as he couldnt believe it. But it is Marine Branchs base! Ross directly went to Haig town. Does he also dare to come to the Marine Branchs base? Leica didnt dare to believe it and was even more uncertain of the situation, just then there was the sound of disturbance in the base, and even sounds of gunfire. . A Second Lieutenant Marine rushed in with a terrifying look and reported: Commander Leica, Ghost Hand Ross has rushed into our base! What did you say? Leicas eyes widened. He expected Ross to be difficult to deal with, but he never imagined that Ross was so crazy and daring that he would come to a Marine branch base! He is a madman! There was a slight hint of fear in Leicas eyes. He can sit in the position of the Commander, so of course, he has the strength to back up his position and he has also fought with many dangerous pirates, but someone like Ross who dared to come to the Marine branch base to find him. He has never met someone like that before! Did you Notify Captain Moby? The current situation had been notified to Captain Moby and others and they are currently rushing back here. But Im afraid that they wouldnt be able to reach here in time. Leica pressed down the fear in his heart. He bit his teeth and yelled at his subordinates. How many people are there at the base? Gather them all, and kill Ghost Hand Ross at all costs! Yes! The second Lieutenant Marine responded and rushed out. Leica listened to the gunshots and all kinds of sounds from outside and as he was waiting, he felt uneasy and angry so he walked back and forth as he waited for Ross with his five fingers clasping the hilt of his sword on his waist. You also go out and command the soldiers! After two steps, he looked towards to the second Marine Lieutenant Commander. Yes! The Marine Lieutenant Commander took a deep breath and picked up a musket on the table and walked toward the door. Just as he pushed the door open, the entire door suddenly had a strange twist and it was directly blown up, and countless sawdust flew at a time. The Lieutenant Commander subconsciously fired the gun but a hand pulled out of the sawdust and grabbed the gun directly. Kacha! The musket was broken into two pieces in an instant. The Lieutenant Commander was shocked. He suddenly retreated and tried to pull out the long sword at his waist to resist. But he wasnt quick enough, Ross entered one step faster and rushed towards him. He punched his chest, sending him flying and slamming painfully on the wall. Long time no see, Commander Leica. Ross smacked off the sawdust on his clothes and turned to look at Marine Commander Leica. His eyes were calm as they looked at him. The expression on Leicas face was incomparably ugly. He pulled the sword out of his waist and put it in front of him, looking coldly at Ross, Do you realize what you have done? You have attacked a Marine base! So what? Ross stepped toward Leica, and tauntingly said: For a pirate with a bounty of 22 million Berries, what is a single Marine base? Scoff! Under the pressure of the approaching Ross, Commander Leica finally couldnt help but hold his sword with both hands and chopped it at Ross. Ross didnt retreat and punched the coming sword. Kacha! Leicas swordsmanship is almost the same as that of Capone Leckie, that is to say that it is impossible for it to break through the layer of distortion power attached on Rosss fist. The sword is stopped in mid-air, and the entire sword is twisted into scrap iron. Leica was shocked, but before he could react, Rosss other fist slammed directly between his chest and abdomen. Bang! This fist was wrapped in the power of distortion, so his internal organs are shifting as blood is spurted out of his mouth, he directly falls to the ground. Stop! Just as Leica vomited blood and fell to the ground, some people directly rushed in from the destroyed entrance. It was a group of people dressed in the marine Justice outfit, it was Captain Moby and others. Ross saw Captain Moby rushing in, his wrists shook as he pulled out the sword at his waist and placed it on Leicas neck. Back off. Moby looked at the scene, he was angry and he shouted: Ross, do you know what you are doing?! I certainly know what I am doing. Ross stared at Moby and said, But I dont know what you guys are doing by framing people, so I came over to asked this question directly. Leica kneels on the floor as he heard this sentence, his face changed, and he endured the pain in his body to say: Mo Captain Moby, kill him! Bang! Ross stepped on Leicas back putting him directly on the floor, his sword continuing to press against his neck. You have no right to speak now. CHAPTER 9 EVERYTHING WILL BE TOO LATE Previous ChapterNext Chapter Captain Mobys eyes flashed in anger, but at the same time he noticed something that wasnt right, so he asked Ross in a sinking voice: What do you want to ask? The first question, are you also involved in the Tarot town incident with him? Ross did not intend to beat around the bush. Moby frowned and didnt answer, but asked: What about Tarot town? What do you mean? Ross stared at Moby for a while, reached into his sleeves, and threw the recording at Moby. Moby took the recording device and frowned, and it quickly played the talk between Ross and Capone Leckie. As their conversation was broadcasted Captain Moby, who was present at the scene, and several Commanders suddenly looked at each other. Obviously, they did not expect this kind of thing! Damn! Mobys face showed a very angry expression, staring at Leica, who was being stepped on by Ross and he wished that he could cut Leicas head with his own sword. The expressions of several commanders colonels were also darkening. As for the officers and soldiers, they all felt as if they were listening to a fantasy story. Lieutenant Commander, take everyone out! When Moby heard half of the conversation, he directly pressed paused the recording device and gave a command, letting Lieutenant Commander take all the Marines soldiers out of the room. . He looked up at Ross and said: I have neglected this matter, but things have already gotten to this point so I cant provide an explanation for you. I need to report this to my superior. Ross stood there calmly and didnt talk. Moby took a deep breath as turned and walked out of the room, went to his office, dialed Den Den Mushi on the table, and quickly connected to the Marine Headquarters. Is it Rear Admiral Strawberry? I have something to report to him. Marine Headquarters. This is the core of Marines power, and it controls the numerous Marine bases and Marine divisions spread across the entire sea. In a large office on the second floor which is responsible for connecting the various Marine branch bases, receiving their reports and issuing various instructions. How can there be such a thing?! Listening to the report from the West Blue Marine branch, Strawberrys narrowed eyes jerked open and his face changed. Although it is only a divisional thing, this kind of thing can involve Marines prestige and face. Once it is not handled well, it will cause a lot of trouble for them. He quickly stood up and walked to a separate office next to him. Vice Admiral Doberman, there is a troublesome matter here Marine Vice-Admiral Doberman sat in a chair and listened to Strawberrys report with a slight frown. After a few minutes, he said: This thing can never be spread out, otherwise Marines will lose their reputation and face in West Blue, and the people will lose their faith in the government and condemn it. Then how should we proceed. Strawberry inquired in a low voice. Doberman hesitated slightly before revealing a hint of indifference on his face, saying: Clear everything, Execute this matter and after that the report that was going to be reported is that the murderer was killed on the spot under the pursuit of Marines, and Commander Leica died fighting the murderer. Although Strawberry guessed that Doberman might decide this way, he couldnt help but say, But that Ross didnt do The bounty orders have already been sent, are you planning to report it to the government and let the government withdraw it? Doberman interrupted Strawberrys words and said with an indifferent gaze. Its just a Pirate Hunter. Compared with Marines prestige, you should be clear about what is more important. Strawberrys expression changed a few times, and finally, he sighed and complied with the orders and left Dobermans office. Doberman shook his head and continued to browse the documents on the table. Complete execution? After receiving the order from Marine Headquarters, Moby did not reveal any unexpected expression on his face. In fact, he also decided to do the same, because only by doing so can the impact of this matter be minimized. For Ross, a little Pirate Hunter, its almost impossible for Marine to admit their wrongs and take back the wanted order! After hanging up the Den Den Mushi. Mobys expression became completely indifferent as he left the room and returned to the office of Commander Leica where Ross was. The atmosphere in Commander Leica office was very strange. Ross was stepping on Commander Leicas back as he stands there calmly, while the other commanders had confused embarrassed look on their face. Originally they thought that Ross was a murderer who slaughtered an entire town, They did not expect this to be led by Leica and Capone Mafia, and Leica even framed him. Captain Moby. Seeing Mobys return, several restless Commanders turned around and looked at him at the same time, waiting for Moby to announce their superiors orders and decision. Moby walked slowly to the front of the crowd, looking at the Ross who stood on Leica, and said: The Headquarter has given their orders. Whiz!! At the moment when his voice fell, Moby suddenly moved and he pulled out the long sword at his waist as he rushed toward Ross. The power of this sword is far stronger than Leica and Capone Leckie, and the tip of the sword even overflows with faint sword energy! Ross retreated to the edge of the room, avoiding the sword. However, Leica was not so lucky, as he was already in the attack range of Mobys sword and he was directly split into two halves! Startled by the sudden change many commanders who were present did not have any time to respond. .. Captain Moby! Headquarters order, everyone directly involved in this matter is to be executed. Seeing that Ross had avoided his attack, he did not pursue him immediately. Instead, he announced the order given by the Marine Headquarters to several of his subordinate commanders. Several Marine Commanders looked at each other in dismay. Ross is not a murderer, but if they carefully think about it, how can Marine and the government recover the already issued bounty for a Pirate Hunter. What a brilliant scene. Ross stood by the wall and spoke. His mouth twitched slightly as if he was laughing, and he seemed to ridicule the marines. This expression made the few commander in the room shudder for some inexplicable reason. Then, starting today, I am a pirate. Moby looked at Ross with a cold face and said: You cant leave here today, there is Leica who has framed you dead, accept this as my apologies as you rest in peace! Whiz! Moby rushed to Ross again, and the sword in his hand chopped out. Rainstorm! His sword was wrapped up in weak sword energy as he waved it up and down, like a storm, covering Ross in the center. He did not give Ross any time and space to dodge ashe planned to directly kill Ross who had his back pressed against the wall. However. In the face of Mobys stormy offensive, Ross did not panic. He looked up at Moby, his body suddenly looks like a piece of paper. Moby is attacking Ross left and right with his sword energy but he is not able to hit him no matter how hard he tries. Then, Ross stabbed with his own sword and the stunned Moby tried to dodge but was too late as he was stabbed by Ross attack. This is Kami-e (Paper Drawing)! How can you use Marines Rokushiki?! There are many different techniques that are similar to Soru, so even if Ross uses Soru, no one will be able to identify it but those dodging patterns are very familiar and there is no doubt that it is definitely Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marines Rokushiki(Six Power)! Ross didnt answer. With Kami-e (Paper Drawing)s dodging ability, he moves with his sword and made a few attacks on Moby. He started the Distortion Fruit ability and twisted the two swords together. Turning them into a few sections of scrap iron. Bang!! Ross punched out and Moby subconsciously crossed his arms in front of him, and when Rosss fist connected with his arms, a sharp pain suddenly came from them. His two arms, under Rosss Distortion Fruit ability, were directly twisted into a fried dough twist, covered with blood and bones and looked terrifying. Several commanders finally awoke from their stupor and reacted, they all came forward to support the Captain. At the same time, they pulled their swords out one after another. Buzz! Rosss arms jerked up and the ability of Distortion Fruit was fully launched. All the swords and fists that held them were completely stopped in mid-air, and then the power of distortion exploded. All swords collapsed. Ross stared indifferently at Captain Moby, who was shocked. He lifted his leg and stepped on him as blood and flesh scattered under his feet. Several commanders who saw this were shaken by this scene, they felt chills on their backs and revealed fear. Amidst the silence. Ross slowly walked toward the wall on one side. Go and tell the high-level Marines who issued the order. I didnt want to become a pirate. You forced me to be a pirate. Rosss tone is calm and chilling. Combining the tone with blood and gore in the place it seems to be giving the feeling of hell. The Marines all shuddered as if they had heard the whisper of a devil. Although right now I am just a insignificant nobody, and about whom maybe you wouldnt care even a bit, but please remember what I said. Your behavior today determines the future direction of this sea. I hope that one day in the future, you would not regret the order issued today because by then everything will be too late. Bang! When Rosss voice fell, he had already reached the wall and he raised his hand and pressed it on the wall, and the area about two meters on the wall suddenly twisted and collapsed, then he jumped out. There was only destruction remained in his wake and the sound of his voice that will reverberate in the ear of the marines that were there. CHAPTER 10 RECRUITING ROBIN Previous ChapterNext Chapter Marine Headquarters. Dobermans office. Bang! Doberman slaps his desk in anger and cracks appeared across the hard wooden table. The whole person stands up directly and his face is full of anger. Who the hell does he think he is? Arrogant! Really arrogant! Although there are countless pirates in the sea, he has handled many ferocious pirates as Vice-Admiral, but there are not many who would dare to go against the Marine Headquarters, and those who do, most of them are from the New World. A little nobody pirate hunter from West Blue dares to talk like that, he must really be insane! Vice Admiral Doberman, the strength possessed by this Ghost Hand Ross is not something that West Blues marine divisions can handle. How do we deal with him? Strawberry stood in front of Dobermans desk and asked with a cold expression. He had some sympathy with Ross at the beginning but after killing Moby and blatant disregard of Marine executives, his sympathy turned into anger. Doberman took a heavy breath and pressed the anger in his heart down. He coldly said: Notify all the branch bases of West Blue, put Ghost Hand Ross on the list of dangerous pirates, and hand his information over to all branches! Yes. Strawberry nodded in silence. Branch heads of every West Blue branches are different. There are some bases which have a Rear admiral as a commanding officer. Rear Admirals are strong, they are one of the main forces of the Headquarter and they are released by the headquarter to the four seas. Their strength is enough to suppress the area where they are located. In the face of the giant colossus which are Marine and World Government, all arguments are in vain. Compared to Ross, it is obviously easier for people to believe in the World Government and Marine and they will believe in the governments news report. Marine represents World Government, so it is easy enough for them to distort the truth and present what they want to the world. Arguing? Protesting? Everything is useless. So from the moment, Captain Moby tried to kill him, Ross had already made a decision. Since Marine executives decided to brand him as a pirate, then he wouldnt let them down! In order to quickly defeat Captain Moby, Ross learned Kami-e (Paper Drawing) in Marines Rokushiki, although it took one Free Talent Point, the effect was also significant as he quickly killed Moby and he did not fall into the situation where he was surrounded by Marines. After rushing out of the Marine Branch, Ross came to the south bank of the island, where his boat was docked. I dont know how Marine will declare my crimes. Ross rowed off the coast and looked at the boundless sea and shook his head. It did not matter. From todays on he is the Captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates. After today, Marine will probably increase my bounty, and they will start to encircle and hunt for me in the West Blue area. It is even possible for them to send a Rear Admiral and their fleet. If I run around without any information, it will be easy for me to fall into an ambush and encirclement. Ross did not hesitate. Since he has become a pirate he will have to face the pursuit of Marines. It is obviously impossible to rely on this small boat. He needs a ship of medium-size or above, and he also needs various pieces of information. For him, there are two routes to become strong, one is to get strong on his own, the other is to kill pirates, and to kill pirates he needs information on them. Thus, The first crew member that he needed became very clear. Hiding in the dark Underground world, and knows a lot of intelligenceNico Robin. Then lets go to Ghale City. Ghale City. Underground intelligence organization base. Nico Robin is standing beside a desk, reorganizing and remembering the intelligence on the table. She passed the archaeological doctoral exam at the age of eight, and her memory and analytical skills are almost indisputable. In the months of working for this intelligence organization, no matter how complicated the intelligence was, she could quickly remember it and as soon as someone asks her about it, she can tell it to them immediately from her nearly photographic memory. All recorded. Robin put down the last paper and closed her eyes slightly. After a few seconds, she opened them again and nodded at Terun sitting at his desk. Terun took a sip of coffee from the cup and nodded with satisfaction. Good, go and burn these intelligence reports. Giving shelter to Devil Child Nico Robin who has a bounty of up to 79 million Berries is not a small risk for him, but Robins ability in intelligence processing really makes him satisfied. Otherwise, he would have already thrown Robin to Marines and received the bounty. Robin grabbed the pieces of paper on the table and walked to the side, quickly disposing of these intelligence reports and then returning to her place. If I remember correctly, you should be sixteen now. Terun looked at Robin with a teacup In his hand. Yes. Robin nodded. Terun rested leisurely on the back of the chair and the corner of his mouth raised with a little curve. He said: Its a good age. If it was not for the bounty of 79 million Berries on your head, you would be a perfect assistant. Robin was silent. Terun looked at Robins and slowly lowered the teacup and asked. In addition to organizing the intelligence reports, what else can you do, can you dance? I can not. Robin shook her head. Thats boring Terun stood up, his eyes on Robins body as he slowly walked over to her and tried to touch Robins chin with his finger. Robins face changed slightly and she took a half step back. After Robin backed away, his fingers couldnt touch her chin, Terun halted his movements as a frown appeared on his face. He took back his fingers which were in the air and said with a lecherous look in his eyes: Take off your clothes, Nico Robin. What? Robin was stunned. Terun saw Robins in a dazed state and said again with more force in his tone: I told you to take your clothes off, you didnt hear me? This request Robins pupils shrank as she took a step back. She didnt know how to deal with it. She was 8 years old when a bounty was placed on her head and from then on she has been hiding in the Underground world for eight years. She has seen too much darkness for so many years, but this was the first time that she encountered a situation like this. What? You dare to defy my orders? When Terun sees Robin backing up, the expressions on his face sank. You can do anything. Isnt that what you said when you came to me? I took a huge risk sheltering you, not to mention the bounty of 79 million Berries I could have gotten If I had turned you to marines. As soon as Terun mentioned the bounty of 79 million Berries, Robins expression changed and she bit her lips. It is because of such a high amount of bounty that she has been hiding in the underground world for eight years. In order to survive, she had to do her best. If it was not for her calmness and wisdom which is far beyond ordinary people, it wouldve been almost impossible for her to survive till now. In order to survive, she has done her best. This kind of humiliation, even if it is unbearable she will endure. After all which is more important, survival or dignity? She bites harder and harder and her teeth are deeply embedded in her lips. She didnt realize but blood dripped out of her lips slowly. Terun looked at Robins appearance as even in this situation she is calm and composed but for him who wants to have some fun, it is a bored expression. Looking at your appearance, it seems that you havent experienced it yet?Its really is too bad. Because of your high bounty, you can be caught by Marine at any time. Once you are caught, there is no chance for you to experience this. Robin was silent. Survival is so difficult for her. Does she have to give up the last shred of her dignity? Just as despair surged in Robins heart. Bang! The door made of oak was suddenly forcefully banged open from the outside. The door lock collapsed directly, and the wood chips splashed around. Who?! Terun, who was observing Robins reaction, was suddenly interrupted by this sound and could not help but become angry and turned to look at the door. Ross walked in from the door. He arrived half a minute ago because the door was locked and waited for a little. He didnt expect to walk into such unexpected moment. Its you? Terun saw Ross and suddenly frowned. Your door is broken, I hope you dont mind. Ross under Robin and Terun surprised gaze arrived in front of Robin and said: It seems that you are not very happy here. Would you like to change your status and become part of my crew? Ross didnt like beating around the bush and asked directly. Robin is a very smart person. In the current situation, she only needs to be given a choice. When he heard what Ross said and seeing that Robin had not reacted yet, Terun opened his mouth with gloomy expressions. Ghost Hand Ross, what is the meaning of this, you plan to poach my assistant in front of me? Yes, Ross responded calmly, and it made Terun choke on his spit. So, what do you think? Nico Robin. Ross looked at Robin. Robin was slightly startled. This is the first time that someone has taken the initiative to pull her into any group of any sort. Even though Robin is still very young, the calm mentality possessed by her is not something that her peers and ordinary people would have. She analyzed the current situation in less than a second and then nodded calmly. I am honored to join your crew, Captain Ross. CHAPTER 11 40 MILLION BOUNTY Previous ChapterNext Chapter Good. Ross smiled. It is very easy and pleasant to communicate with Robin, who is calm, smart and intelligent. It is one of the reasons why Ross has always had Robin in his list of people he would recruit. Terun looked at the scene in front of him and gawked slightly, then he talked in anger: Damn you, Nico Robin, you dare to betray me who has been hiding your identity for the past six months Bang! However, he couldnt continue with his ravings as the sound of gunshot suddenly came from inside the room. Ross didnt know when he took his pistol out, and before he knew it the pistols muzzle already had smoke coming out of it, while Terun was standing still slowly looking down at his chest. In the middle of his chest, there was a large hole, from which blood rushed out, and his suit was stained with blood. You He didnt expect Ross to shoot him. Rosss left hand was still holding the pistol and didnt tremble at all, so he pointed the gun at Terun and asked: Did you just bully a member of my crew? Bang! Bang! Bang! There were three consecutive gunshots, and Terun had three more holes in his body, he revealed an unwilling and unbelievable expression and fell into his own blood. Robins expression changed slightly as she looked at the scene, but it recovered in an instant, still maintaining a calm expression, saying: I dont know the detailed identity of Terun, but he should belong to a larger intelligence organization. If he dies, it may cause us some troubles. Oh. Ross slowly retracted the pistol and said: A big intelligence organization?can it be bigger than Marine and World Government? Robin shook her head saying: Of course not, it is impossible. Ross turned to look at Robin and smiled: So I dont have to worry about any trouble, because I am a pirate now. If Captain feels its ok, then there is no problem. Robin nodded lightly. Robin doesnt really care about the troubles this situation will bring, She is the Devil Child with a bounty of 79 million Berries from the World Government. This bounty is highest in West Blue and even the most powerful pirates of this sea have less bounty then her. The World Government and Marine already want her life. The situation is already worse for her and it can not get any worse. How many people are there in our crew? Including you, two. Ross responded calmly: Therefore I need a ship now, as well as some guys to do odd jobs, and then slowly look for the official crew. Robins receptiveness to the imagination was much better than Ross. Not only did she instantly substituted into crew members role, but she was also not surprised by the fact that there were only two of them on board the ship. There are a lot of ships on the island port. We should be able to find a suitable one. As for the people who can do odd jobs, release your name to them, and most of them can be recruited. Its too much trouble. Ross shook his head and said: You should have information about the pirates in this area of sea. I need information on pirates with the bounty for more than 20 million Berries. Although he decided to become a pirate, Rosss pirate crew are going different from most of the worlds pirates and even more different from the pirate crew of Strawhat Luffy. The looting and the slaughtering of civilians will only scare the civilians. World Government and Marine will not be alarmed and fearful, only angry. Even if he wants to kill He will not slaughter civilians. His preys are the famous pirates of the sea as well as Marines and the World Government who dared to provoke him! His biggest card is not Distortion Fruit, but the Talent System. By hunting pirates, he can get proficiency points and Free Talent Points, and can easily improve his strength! From West Blue to Grand Line, from Grand Line to New World and when he reached the end of the world, then the world will shudder. Pirates with a bounty of 20 million Berries or more. When she heard Ross, Robin was slightly startled. Is he going to rob a pirate group and then take over directly? By doing this the risks are undoubtedly higher than just grabbing a ship at the dock, but she did not doubt Rosss strength. So far Ross has hunted many pirates with a high bounty, and he even rushed into Capone Mafias nest and killed Capone Leckie. After thinking for a moment, Robin said: Flo pirates, Captain one-eyed Flo, bounty 27 million Berries, appeared three days ago near the Kurle sea area. It is not far from here Good. Ross nodded and told Robin calmly, Before I was a Pirate Hunter, the Ghost Hand Pirates I built would not rob civilians. We would hunt for powerful pirates at the sea, and the danger would be higher as well. You have to be mentally prepared. There are many different kinds of pirates in the sea who are characterized in a disorderly mess; there are ferocious pirates who want to plunder civilians, adventurer pirates like Strawhat Luffy, and pirate hunters who hunt other pirates, and many more. Hawkeyes of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, before becoming the Seven Warlords of the Sea, aimed at hunting pirates, with a black blade running amuck across the sea until he met Red Hair Shanks. Even after he became Seven Warlords of the Sea(Shichibukai), Hawkeye will still sometimes go out to sea to find some pirates to hunt to pass the time. For the purpose of hunting other pirates. Robin whispered in her heart. She was hiding in the dark underground world for many years. She was capable of accepting any type of darkness, but in her heart, she was still a kind person with the kindness in her heart that darkness could not erode. She can accept this kind of goal with all of her heart. One day later. Marine and World Government released a new announcement. Ghost Hand Ross is ferocious, he treacherously sneak attacked the marine base, killing Captain Moby and Commander Leica. This news has spread throughout the West Blue. And Rosss bounty has increased from 22 million Berries to 40 million Berries, becoming one of West Blues only ten pirates with a bounty of more than 40 million Berries. The entire West Blue shook! Whether its his standing as one of the top pirates in West Blue or the killing of two high ranking Marine officers. Their thoughts suddenly shifted to Ross, who suddenly appeared out of the blue with a bounty so high that he reached into top ten of West Blue. Killing the Captain of a Marine Branch, a fearful fella has come out of the West Blue. Some pirate looked at the newspaper and whispered. For someone to actually achieved the bounty of 40 million Berries. Who exactly is this Ghost Hand Ross? A Pirate Hunter revealed greedy and ferocious look in his eyes. Besides the pirates and Pirate Hunter. The more frightened were the civilians. He slaughtered all the residents of a small town, and he also murdered a Marine Captain. What are Marines doing, why arent they quickly capturing this guy and execute him? For the vast majority of the people, there is no chance for them to know the truth. All they can access are government announcements and news on government newspapers. The truth of everything is written by the government and Marines. CHAPTER 12 PREY APPEARED Previous ChapterNext Chapter Three days later. Kurle sea. A boat rises and falls with the waves. Saying that it is a boat is a bit of a stretch. In fact, it was a two-story cabin. One floor can be used to store fresh water and food, and the other can be used for living. There are two rooms on the floor where people can reside, which can accommodate 34 crew members. It seems that there may be a storm. Ross stood on the deck and looked up at the sky. The navigational talent he got from the Living system was at the proficiency level. So even if it was not comparable to the Namis terrifying talent as a navigator with the protagonist aura, it was not too bad. Otherwise, Ross who goes out to sea to hunt pirates by boat every day wouldve had long been swept by the storm to god know where. With his current strength, it is too difficult to protect a small boat under the storm. Robin, hang full sail, and paddle, let us leave here. Okay. Robin looked a little worried about the weather. When she heard Rosss command, she put both of her arms in front of her, and the Flower-Flower Fruits(Hana Hana no Mi) ability was launched. Arms immediately appear on the mast and an arm dropped the sail. At the same time, on the six oars placed on the side of the boat, there were many more arms gripping the oar and were forcefully paddling. This Devil Fruit ability is very convenient in some respects, and it is obviously a completely correct decision to let Robin join. Very capable. One person can be compared to a group of people. Ross couldnt be more satisfied with his evaluation of her. If she was not set as a manager, it seems there would have been no need for any odd-job crew member. Hualala! Under the actions of Robin, the sails were blown by the sea breeze, together with the six paddles that swept quickly, the boat sailed rapidly on the sea. Ross was not idle. He continued to observe the sky while he was at the helm. He quickly got them out of the danger zone under his good navigation skill. In order to escape the storm, we have already penetrated Kurle sea. There are seven small islands in this sea area, two medium-sized islands, and the nearest one is only about two hours away. Ross looked at the sea map and compass tools and judged where they were. From the information obtained from Robin, this Flo pirate group was seen in this sea six days ago, the pirates generally do not stay fixed on an island for a long time, because once they get Marines attention then they will provoke big trouble. Flo pirate group appeared in Kurle sea, there are freshwater and food supply source on the Deere island, according to the style of this pirate group, it is possible that they will plunder a land in this sea before leaving. Robin recalls all the intelligence analysis of the Flo pirate group. Then lets go to the nearest island first. Ross made the decision. He had hunted pirates before. After getting the intelligence from Robin, he went straight to the sea to look for them. During that time his luck was very good. He went out eight times and he was successful five times. Captain, you have a bounty of 40 million Berries and your reputation has been spread far in West Blue. You need to pay attention to your identity. If you are exposed, it may cause a lot of movement. It doesnt need to be so troublesome. There is only one small Marine branch nearby, there is no base, and by the time they react, we will be already gone. Ross shrugged. Although Robin is calm enough, she has survived her past years by escaping and hiding, she did not survive by being seen, although her bounty is as high as 79 million Berries, the actual fighting capability she possessed is not even comparable to a pirate who has 20 million Berries bounty. When she heard Ross, she was slightly startled. Robin realized that her thoughts were unnecessary. Ross had single-handedly rushed into the Marine Branch, killed the branch captain and then rushed out safely. It feels good to not hide. Soon. Ross and Robin arrived at the nearest island, where they did not receive any information on the pirates, so they left towards to the next island. There is a branch of Underground organization on the second island, Ross and Robin are both people who have been in the Underground world for a long time, and soon found the needed intelligence. Half a day ago, the Flo Pirates looted the Mokor island. After they robbed Mokor Island, the Marine Branch will definitely send Battleship there to pursue and exterminate them. According to the route, they will definitely not take this and this Ross and Robin analyzed for a while and soon planned their route. After leaving the island, they followed the set route. Why arent Marine able to end the Great Age of Pirates? There are a large number of pirates and their strength is uneven. Another reason is that chasing any pirate in the sea is troublesome. Many times, as long as the pirates quickly leave the island, then even if marines want to pursue it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. The analysis and tracking that Ross and Robin have done is also only a probability. They figured out two routes that Flo pirates couldve taken. On the deck. Ross took the telescope and looked around in the sea, while Robin stood next to Ross, holding a sea map in her hand. The route with a 70% probability is really much higher than the route with a probability of 30%. The route you and I have analyzed is really correct. Ross looked from the telescope for a while, and his action suddenly paused, looking at the direction for a moment and handed the telescope to Robin. Robin picked up the telescope and observed the same direction for half a minute. She put the telescope down and said, I need to be close to them to confirm. Ok. Ross nodded and steered the boat towards the target. As the distance gradually closed between them, the outline of the shadow in that direction gradually became clear, and the entire ship was clearly visible from the telescope, and the sign on the canvas hung on the ship was also seen. It was a sign of a skull that was blindfolded in one eye, it was the Flo pirate group. The prey has finally appeared. After Ross confirmed the target, he whispered quietly. The Talent Proficiency obtained by hunting pirates is according to the bounty placed on them and has a rough distribution interval, which was discovered by him by researching the Talent System. For the pirates of the same level, the first one will give a lot of Talent Proficiency, but for the second one the proficiency will be cut in half, and for the third one it will be halved again. In other words, for the pirates that have a bounty of 20 million Berries, hunting two or three will get him the maximum value, more would be just a waste of time. And. The first time he hunts any pirate with a bounty amount in a certain range, it seems that he is sure to get Free Talent Points, and the second time and third time hunting the pirates within the same range is only a probability. If I can get Free Talent Points in this hunt, it means that my judgment is correct, Ross inwardly whispered. A few months ago, he hunted four or five pirates with the bounty of seven or eight million Berries. The benefit was halved, so he shifted his target to 10 million pirates, and the higher he hunts the higher reward he got. For him, who want to keep getting stronger, he needs to constantly kill the pirates. 20 million, 30 million, 50 million, 120 million, and the ultimate goal is no doubtYonk (Four Emperors)! CHAPTER 13 ONE-EYED FLO Previous ChapterNext Chapter Flo Pirates. The entire crew on the ship, with or without any problem in the eyes, wears a one-eyed cover to blindfold the right eye. This is Captain one-eyed Flos order. There is a boat coming over! Its a small boat. A pirate standing in the sentry position, seeing Ross boat in the distance, reported. As soon as they heard that it was a small boat, the numerous pirates on the ship lost their interest, because a small boat means that there will be no treasures that are of any worth. But, Some people also showed a strange expression and ask the sentry post: They are taking the initiative to come here? Didnt they see our pirate flag? Yes! They seem to be accelerating. The sentry post didnt care at first, but after noticing that Rosss boat was charging full speed towards their ship, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Under normal circumstances, when normal ships spot a pirate ship, wouldnt they immediately turn around and run away? Taking the initiative to rush over when coming across a pirate group only Pirate Hunters would do! When he thought of it, the sentry post was immediately shocked. Reporting to Captain, it may be a Pirate Hunter! Pirate Hunter? As soon as they heard the word Pirate Hunter, many of the pirates faces changed. Someone quickly went to the cabin and reported to Captain Flo. One-eyed Flo was taking an afternoon nap and was very annoyed when he was woken up by his men. He yawned and went to the outside deck, and looked at the boat in the distance: Pirate Hunter? I am one-eyed Flo, I have a bounty of 27 million Berries, which Pirate Hunter dares to provoke me, they are really tired of living! Exterminate them for me. One-eyed Flo rubbed the back of the head as he gave the order to attack to a pirate nearby. Yes! Several pirates responded and quickly filled the cannon with gunpowder, aimed at the boat that Ross was riding and started the bombardment. A cannonball drew a arc, and fell into the sea, creating huge waves in the sea. Bombarding? Ross took a deep breath and said: Robin, you go inside the cabin first. Ross power of distortion in present condition can prevent attacks from the general sword, but the bullets fired by the guns, and any sword attack with slight sword energy, he cannot block them head-on, not to mention cannons. Fortunately, the bombardment done by this pirate group was not as orderly as Marine, and seems to be even somewhat messed-up as they were unable to form dense and terrifying cannonball hail. Moreover. Ross didnt intend to block the cannonballs although he will be hard pressed to stop them. He didnt need this boat anymore. He just needs to rely on the boat to get close to the Flo Pirate Ship, after getting close he could make a hard jump to the ship by Soru. Whiz! A cannonball struck towards Ross and Rosss foot stepped hard on the floor of the boat. He escaped to a distance and avoided the cannonball. Bang! The shells crashed on the bow of the ship, and the sawdust flew in every direction and a cloud of smoke floated over. Indeed, it is not a simple thing to use the fruits ability to stop the shells or to cut open the shells with a sword. In the face of a situation where he can die or get seriously injured by cannonballs, Ross was extremely calm because, with his current agility and speed, he was able to avoid the cannonballs that had come from afar. Bang! Bang!! As the boat approached the Flo Pirate Ship, the hit rate of the cannonballs began to get higher and higher, and it became more and more difficult to avoid them due to the close distance. Ross calmly looks at the Flo Pirate Ship ahead, he has focused his maximum attention such that any shadow that flies over, he will instantly avoid it. Captain, if this continues, then we wont be able to approach the ship. Robin hid in the cabin with several large holes in it, observing the situation outside, and made a mouth on the pillar next to Ross, to tell him of her observation. Rosss eyes swept towards the lips on the pillar. He was not surprised as the ability of Flower-Flower Fruit(Hana Hana no Mi) in which a part of the body can be made anywhere. He responded calmly: Relax, we dont need to get too close. Fifty meters Forty meters Thirty meters Ross stared at the ship with all of his focus and judged the distance. This distance is enough! Rosss gaze flashed, and he jumped without hesitation to the top of the boat. Then he stamped hard, smashing the part of a boat, and jumped towards the ship creating an arc in midair. He fell down onto Furlow pirate groups pirate ship. On the Flo pirate groups ship, many pirates were looking at the boat that was crumbling in the bombardment with an evil smirk. Seeing a figure suddenly jumping up from the boat to come to their ship, all of them were stunned. Be careful! Captain! Someone is here! By the time pirates reacted, Ross had already hit the Flo pirate groups sail. He landed on the sail, and light as a feather dropped down on the mast. The distance of this jump is obviously not something that ordinary people can do. Many pirates revealed shock. Some people looked upwards. They vaguely felt that Rosss figure was a little familiar, and then thought of something, their faces drastically changed. You are Ghost Hand Ross! You have Killed the Marine Branch Captain and have a bounty of 40 million Berries! Very good, I dont have to introduce myself. Ross calmly glanced at the pirates below, and jumped down directly onto the ships deck. He said while looking at the pirates in front of him: Flo pirate group, I dont have to offer apology, right? My boat was broken by you so, therefore it is regrettable but I am gonna have to take your ship as compensation. The pirates standing next to Ross couldnt help but swallow their saliva. Although they are also tyrannical pirates, the news said that Ross is extremely vicious, he not only slaughtered a small town but also killed the captain of the Marine Branch, his degree of madness is far higher than theirs! I thought it was a Pirate Hunter who didnt have eyes. I didnt expect you, Pirate Hunter no, pirate, Ghost Hand Ross. One-eyed Flo walked out from the back, his one-eye staring at Ross was slightly narrowed, revealing a dangerous look. Although Ross is notorious, he is also not easy to provoke. What about the bounty of 40 million Berries? After all, he is alone! Want my ship, how about joining us? One-eyed Flo spread out his hands towards Ross, and said: With your strength, if you join forces with me, there will be few people in West Blue who will be our match. If Ross was a Pirate Hunter then he would have already started fighting, but Ross is already a pirate and he is alone. If he can get him on his ship to be a combatant, then the Flo pirate group will be able to run amok in the West Blue. Bounty of 27 million Berries, one-eyed Flo. Ross slowly moved forward, his eyes indifferent: Are you planning to be my subordinate? Flos face sank and sneered: It seems that you havent figured out what kind of situation you are in, Ghost Hand Ross. As his voice fell, many of the nearby pirates pulled out their guns and swords, readying for battle. CHAPTER 14 NAMED SWORD ‘HAPPY SPRING’ Previous ChapterNext Chapter Facing the numerous pirates, Ross expression was still calm and indifferent. Its you who doesnt fully understand the situation. Whiz! Almost at the next moment, Ross moved, and arrived at the right side of the ship and punched, and sent a pirate flying, followed by kicking a pirate into the sea. At the same time, his left hand has already pulled out his gun from the waist, aiming at the pirate group, and Bang Bang Bang. fired six bullets from his gun. Everything happened almost instantaneously. Except for the one-eyed Flo who went on alert the moment Ross moved, the rest of the pirate almost failed to react. Until Ross shot six bullets and knocked down seven people in succession, they finally reacted. Open fire! Kill him! The rest of the pirates, almost all of their foreheads were overflowing with cold sweat. Everyone was shocked by Ross frightening speed. For a while, they were feeling afraid, but being pirates for a long time, their instincts allowed them to quickly raised the guns in their hands and shoot. About 67 pirate simultaneously aimed at Ross. Bang! Bang! Bang! The bullets hit the boat and the wood chips flew. However, Ross had already left his original place as he directly rushed into the crowd. Be careful! He is here! In this kind of close combat, the role of guns is obviously not big, many pirates decisively pulled out their sword to fight Ross. Ross faced the swords and did not evade as he directly punched his fist wrapped in the power of distortion, and collided with the swords. Kch! Kch! The swords made of fine iron stopped in midair under the influence of the power of distortion. They were like rubber, and were forcibly distorted and broken! Ross fist turned over and shook, and the power of distortion was bombarded out from his fists, attacking the several nearby pirates. The bones within the pirates issued scalp numbing crack sounds, and they all distorted into fried dough twist. Ah! This what power is this?! The remaining pirates who saw this scene, their movements stagnated. They were terrified and fear began to spread in their hearts. If it was only about fast speed and accurate marksmanship then it would be fine, but this kind of unknown fist power that can turn people into soft mud causes people to feel fear! Is it cause of Devil Fruit? One-eyed Flo looked at the retreating group of his subordinates as Ross punch twisted the bones of another pirate, his pupil could not help but shrink. He doesnt have the Devil Fruit ability, but he has seen how people with Devil Fruit ability fight. He knows that Devil Fruit users are very troublesome and difficult to deal with. Ghost Hand Ross, are you really unwilling to work with me? I can make you the first officer on board, second only to me. Flo placed the sword horizontally in front of him and looked at Ross with a calm expression. In his eyes, the useless subordinates that were killed by Ross were not worth caring about. Instead, Ross, such a powerful guy was someone he wants to recruit. Ross looked indifferent and didnt speak. After repelling the nearby pirate, he directly charged towards Flo, turning into a afterimage and swiftly attacking. Damn, then die! Flos one-eyed flashed with faint anger, and he held the hilt of his sword with both hands, chopping his sword towards Rosss head. Flos swordsmanship gave Ross the feeling that it was a lot worse than Colonel Moby, but the power of this sword was similar to that of Moby, and it sparked with faint sword energy! Eh. Is it a Named Sword? Ross was a little surprised but his expression didnt change. He nimbly moved, avoiding Flos frontal attack as he punched towards Flo. Flos reaction was extremely fast. Both of his hands tightly grasped the sword and pressed down, while Ross twisted his body and dodged. Open fire! Kill him! Flo competed with Ross to gain the upper hand, and entangled with Ross, while he ordered his subordinates, to attempt to distract Rosss attention. However, at this moment, Robins voice came from the back end of the ship. 30 Fleur. !! Several pirates that have guns have arms growing out of their shoulders, knocking down the guns in their hands and twisting their necks. Dont interfere with Captains Battle. Although, Robin was currently only sixteen years old, with the ability of Flower-Flower Fruit(Hana Hana no Mi), she can still deal with a group of ordinary pirates. Many pirates were scared by Robins ability, and one-eyed Flo also felt cold in his heart. He didnt expect Ross to have a helper and a Devil Fruit user at that. There were no problems on Robin side, so Ross looked back at Flo once again. Flo was stronger than an average Marine Commander. With a Named Sword in his hands, his strength is similar to a Marine Captain. But. This strength is still inferior to Ross. Even if Ross didnt want to break the Named Sword in Flos hand. Flo still quickly fell into a dire circumstances. Soon, one of his arms was punched by Ross, and the flesh and bones all got distorted, covered with blood. The Named Sword also flew out and inserted nearby into the ships deck. Hiss Flos face showed painful expression, and his eyes became very flustered. Looking at the slowly walking over Ross, he endured the pain and said: Dont dont kill me, if you want the ship, I can give it to you, I I can be your subordinate. Rosss stepped forward with an expression face. His fist slammed down, and Flos voice stopped. After killing the one-eyed Flo, listening to the clear system notification sound transmitted into his ear, Rosss eyes flashed with a trace of satisfaction, and then he turned and walked aside, picking up the sword that had just been taken from Flo. Robin, do you know this sword? He looked at the sword and didnt recognize it, so he asked Robin who wasnt far away. Robin walked over and looked at the sword in Ross hand and hesitantly said. I am not familiar with the swords, but I recorded all the information about swords. This sword looks like a 21 O Wazamono grade sword, Happy Spring. 21 O Wazamono grade sword? Ross was a little surprised. He thought it was just one of the 50 Ryo Wazamono Grade Swords. He didnt expect one-eyed Flo to have a 21 O Wazamono Grade Sword in his hands. The best swords in this world are the 12 Saijo O Wazamono Grade Swords. There are only 12 of such swords in the entire world. Next are the 21 O Wazamono Grade Swords, there are only 21 of such swords. Of course, with his current Distortion Fruit ability, he cant generate vibrations via weapons like the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, so the sword has only one use for him, that is to show his status. Getting one of the 21 O Wazamono Grade sword is a nice surprise that really satisfies him. After killing one-eyed Flo, he obtained talent reward. 50 Talent Proficiency points. 1 Free Talent point. This was the first time that he had hunted a pirate whose bounty reached more than 20 million berries. He got 1 Free Talent point, and 50 Talent Proficiency points, which means that the first branch of Distortion Fruit can be finally unlocked without any surprise. CHAPTER 15 LIGHT DISTORTION Previous ChapterNext Chapter Ross didnt rush to call out the Talent System. Instead, he turned around and looked at the back where the remaining pirates were suppressed by Robin. There are thirteen remaining. Robin stood next to Ross and reported to him. When the numerous pirates saw Ross killing one-eyed Flo, even though some of them has a little bit of strength, they revealed panicked and fearful expression. Dont dont kill me, Captain Ross, I am willing to surrender to you. Me too, me too! They even took the initiative to throw away their weapons. Ross looked at the remaining thirteen pirates, and shook his head indifferently: There are too many of you here, I dont need so many subordinates. Looking at the fearful pirates, Ross slightly paused, and then calmly said: You have thirteen people now, but I only need five people. When they heard Ross, the remaining 13 pirates breath stagnated. He will only take five people, the meaning is obvious, that is that among them only 5 can live while the remaining 8 must die. You want us to kill each other Someone bit his teeth and opened his mouth, but he didnt even finish talking as suddenly his chest was pierced by a blade, following that blood splashed out in all directions. The pirates present were not the kind of pirates like the Straw Hat Pirates. Each one is a cruel and fierce existence. There are also many smart people. They obviously cannot fight against Ross, so the only way to survive is to obey. Bang! Bang! Someone took the lead, and the remaining pirate immediately howled at each other and started killing each other. Soon, only five people were left standing. Although the five people stopped fighting, they were still very vigilant. In the event that Ross changes his mind and says that he only need three people, the one who relaxes his vigilance will die first. Ross glanced at the five people, then turned to Robin and said: Robin, the rest will be handed over to you. Yes, Captain. Robin nodded and commanded the remaining five pirates to clean the bodies and blood on the ship, while Ross arrived at the deck alone. With a single thought. The three big trees of Talent System were called out by him. Ross directly opened the Battle-type talent department and found the huge branch of Distortion Fruit. Distortion Fruit: 75 He only requires 25 more points in Talent Proficiency and he can activate the Light Distortion ability, Ross thought, then directly put 25 proficiency points in it. A green light flashed, and the proficiency of Distortion Fruit reached 100, and the branch of Light Distortion ability changed from gray to activatable green. To activate Light Distortion, it requires 1 Free Talent Point. Activate it. Ross put 1 point of Free Talent Point directly on the Light Distortion branch. In an instant, a strange force poured into Rosss body, fusing with the Distortion Fruits power within his body. Sure enough, some changes have appeared. Ross felt the changes in his body and muttered. It was difficult to describe the feeling in words, but there is no doubt that the ability of Distortion Fruit has been further developed. He reached out with his hand which was shaking. In his ordinary palm, a group of phantoms appeared out of the air and under the deliberate manipulation of Ross, these phantom images froze and suddenly changed into a lot of hands. Robin, who was standing underneath and commanding the pirates to sweep the decks, couldnt help but see the changes in Ross. When did Ross steal her Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) ability? Ross stood there constantly waving his arms, creating afterimage after afterimage to familiarize with the newly acquired power. Its just illusions Using the power of Light Distortion, his arms were like illusory images, without any substantial attack power, but they are extremely confusing. Imagine in a battle, suddenly throwing countless fists, all of them looking similar, even if only one of them is true, it is undoubtedly very difficult to resist. In other words. Whichever opponent fights with Ross, their sight will be greatly interfered, unless they rely on sound and other senses to judge Rosss position. Otherwise, they will be greatly limited. For those who havent grasped Observation Haki or know Kami-e (Paper Drawing), their eyes would almost be the most important method for sensing. In the case of visual interference, their strength will be greatly reduced. Now if Ross meets another person at the level of Marine Captain, even if he had to fight three or five at the same time, he will be able to deal with them easily. Effective range of Distortion Fruit ability has also increased. Familiarizing with the newly acquired ability, Ross also perceived that the power of distortion he can mobilize is much powerful than before. If before, the effective range of power of distortion was a radius of two meters by taking him as the center, then now, the effective range of power of distortion has reached a radius of nearly five meters. This level of distortion power is enough to deal with Mobi and one-eyed Flos attack, that is to say, in front of that kind of power, there is no need for Ross to dodge next time and he could directly stop those attack with distortion power. Ross even felt that the bullets fired by ordinary guns could be also withstood by distortion power, but he did not want to experiment that. The strength of the fruit has increased and the consumption of physical strength has also increased a lot. Feeling the changes in the body, Ross revealed hesitation on his face. The use of Devil Fruit undoubtedly consumes too much stamina, especially this Paramecia type Distortion Fruit. Now, the Distortion Fruit ability has upgraded by twice as much, which means that in a situation where he erupts of with his full strength, his physical exertion would be even faster, putting a greater burden on his body and spirit. It seems that I need to choose the Physical Enhancement in General type talent as early as possible. At present, the situation is not bad. But once the Gravity Distortion ability is activated, I am afraid that my bodys strength will not be able to keep up with the Devil Fruit ability. The current strongest people in the sea were undoubtedly the Four Emperors; Whitebeard, but the reason Whitebeard is powerful not just because of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi). Although the Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) is very powerful, it is impossible to exert the amount of power that Whitebeard does without a terrifying strong body that can withstand the shocks. There are 25 proficiency points left. If a situation arrives that requires explosive power, I will just put the points in Distortion Fruit. If I need speed, then I will go with Soru or Agility Enhancement. Ross thought for a moment and eventually left 25 proficiency. Anyway, he can call the Talent System at any time and then instantly select the options in it. After closing the Talent System, Ross continued to familiarize himself with the Light Distortion ability. Two hours later. Robin came to Rosss side and reported to him, who was training his ability, Captain, the deck and the cabin have been cleaned up, and I have spotted a Marine Battleship in the southwest direction which is heading towards us. Depending on the size, it should be a medium-sized Battleship. CHAPTER 16 TALENT SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION Previous ChapterNext Chapter On the blue sea. A medium-sized Battleship from the Marine Branch was sailing at full speed. Reporting Captain, we have discovered the fleet of the Flo pirates! Is that so? The Marine Captain who commanded this Battleship, came to the deck and picked up the telescope and looked at a dark spot in the distance. He immediately saw Flo pirates ship stopped in the middle of the sea. As the distance got close, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, because the Flo pirates ship was obviously broken and seemed to have just experienced a big battle. All staff prepare to battle, once they enter the range of cannons, immediately start the bombardment! Marine Captain frowned and pondered before he gave an order. Marine Battleship? Ross draws back from practicing his new ability, took the telescope from Robins hand, and looked at the direction Robin was pointing, and immediately saw a Battleship coming towards them at full speed. Robins eyes flashed slightly, and whispered to Ross standing next to her: Barring any surprise, they should be coming for Flo pirates. Hmm. Ross nodded. Anyway, whether they were coming for Flo pirates, or for them, there is no difference now. Just as Ross put down the telescope, a familiar and crisp system sound came from his ear. In view of the fact that the hosts living environment has changed and the host has a unique view of darkness and justice, Talent System will carry out suboptimization. The optimized content is as follows Besides hunting pirates, Host can also receive Talent Proficiency points and Free Talent Points as a reward by defeating the Marines who came after host to kill him. Moreover, the reduction in reward is not shared with hunting pirates. Note: The reward is only valid for the highest-ranking military officer in the Marine who is after host, and the lowest has to Marine Rear Admiral. Ross listened to the sound coming to his ear. After being slightly startled, his face could not help but reveal a smile. This optimization is obviously what he would like to see. After this optimization, the host can directly check the hunting reward range corresponding to the pirates bounty amount, and defeating reward range corresponding to the position of a high-ranking Marine military officer in the system panel. Ding! The suboptimization is complete! The second optimization also makes Ross be startled slightly. After the final sound of the system fell, his thought moved and opened the Talent System. In the upper right corner of the Talent System page, there is a special bonus symbol that was not available before. He looked and it opened. Hunting Pirates: 5-8 million Berries has hunted 3 people 8 -10 million Berries has killed 2 people 10 C 12 million Berries has hunted 2 people 12 C 15 million Berries has hunted 2 people 15 C 20 million Berries has hunted 1 person 20 C 30 million Berries has hunted 1 person Left of Hunting Pirates list, records the number of pirates that he has hunted so far, and it clearly indicates each reward interval and decreases interval, which is exactly in line with Rosss previous conjecture. By hunting multiple pirates in the same bounty range, the Talent Proficiency reward will decrease, and the first time a pirate is hunted in the new range, Free Talent Points will be acquired. For the bounty of more than 30 million, there are multiple intervals. 50 million is a dividing line. And after 100 million and 500 million is a dividing line. After 500 million, there are only three remaining areas, 500 million to 800 million, 800 million to 1.2 billion, and above 1.2 billion! Its very clear division, but the strength of many pirates in this world cannot be directly divided by their bounty. Ross looked through from top to bottom, then turned to look to the right. Defeated Marines: Marine Rear Admiral has defeated0 people Marine Vice-Admiral has defeated0 people Admiral has defeated 0 people Marine Fleet Admiral has defeated0 people On the right of the Defeated Marines, everything is zero as Ross has not yet defeated any Marine of Rear Admiral. This is a bad division, a branchs Rear Admiral and Headquarters Rear Admiral are both Rear Admiral, but the strength disparity between them is huge. Ross shook his head. Not distinguishing between the branch Rear Admiral and the Headquarters Rear Admiral means that he will only get a small part of the reward, and he is not very satisfied. After quickly reading the new query page, Ross withdraws from the Talent System. When he looked at the sea in the distance, the Marine Battleship had already pulled a lot closer, and there was no need to use a telescope to see the outline of the Battleship. Wind is blowing from southeastwind approaching from six degrees Robin, hang the full sail, lets leave here. Ross looked at the direction of the wind and said to Robin after a little thought. The deterrence of Marine Battleship is not a small matter. The cannons loaded are far superior to the Pirate Ship in terms of firepower. In addition, they are going against the wind. If they forcibly rushed forward, they wouldnt even get the chance to get close, before their ship will be bombed into pieces. Marines on the Battleship would collapse at the first blow, but in the face of a medium-sized Battleship, even a Rear Admiral of the Marine Headquarters will retreat. Most of the time. Marine can chase pirate everywhere because the Marine Battleships artillery fire is extremely fierce, not every pirate can block the bombs, at least the current Ross cannot. Yes. Robin is also very much aware of the deterrent power of a Battleship. If Ross has not given the order, she would have already ordered the pirates to open the full sail and leave. The five pirates also knew the horror of the Marine Battleship, and they were already prepared. When they heard the instructions from Robin, they immediately hanged on the sails. In the distant, the marines on the Battleship saw that the Flo pirates were going to flee, and they started chasing after them. They even fired a few bombs to tentatively attempted to break the Pirate Ships mast, but it was impossible to hit because of the distance. Although the cannons on the warships are strong, they are too heavy. Even with the turbines installed, they cant catch up with the pirate ship when the wind reaches a certain level. After all, the vast majority of pirates will run after they had robbed the place. Few pirates will make heavy warships to confront Marines. Flo pirates ship is a lightship. Finally. The battleship can only look at the Flo pirates ship getting farther and farther away, becoming a black spot on the horizon and disappearing at the end of their field of vision. It would have been good if I had chosen Gepp (Moonwalk). Ross stood at the top of the cabin and looks at the sea that stretches to the horizon then shook his head. If he had learned Gepp (Moonwalk), he can directly traverse the sea by air, ignoring the Battleships artillery fire, cross towards the Battleship, and then sink the Battleship. But. Most of the Battleship was led by a Marine Captain of a certain division. There was no reward for defeating Marine Captain. So Ross had nothing to gain or loss. With the Talent System, it will not be long before he can ignore the Marine Battleship, and by that time if any Marine Battleship dares to chase him then they will be sunk into the sea! Whiz! Ross jumped from the top of the cabin and came to Robin. Robin, how much supply is on board? There are enough supplies for a group of seven people to survive for two or three months. Robin thought slightly before answering. Ross nodded and said, Okay then, I need you to sort out all the information you have on the West Blue pirates, especially pirates with a bounty of more than 15 million Berries. No problem. CHAPTER 17 WHITE BLADE PIRATES Previous ChapterNext Chapter Sea calendar, 11th month of the 1508 year. Ghost Hand Ross killed one-eyed Flo having a bounty of 27 million Berries. He captured the ship of the Flo pirates, and formally formed a pirate group called Ghost Hand Pirates, and added a pirate flag with skull and a skeleton hand forming a fist pointing upward. Sea calendar, the start of the 12th month of 1508 year. Ghost Hand Ross led the Ghost Hand Pirates, and killed the Captain of Cullo pirates with a bounty of 17 million berries in the Kingdom of Turta, and defeated the local kingdom who came to the encircle him, gradually becoming famous. Sea calendar, at the end of 12th month of 1508. Ghost Hand Ross led the ghost hand pirates, and killed the Captain of Blood pirates with a bounty of 25 million Berries, and defeated the West Blue T19 branch of the Marines, which made the West Blue Marines shocked and terrified. His prestige greatly rising. Sea calendar, at the start of the 1st month of 1509. This year is also called the eleventh year of the Great Age of Pirates. Ghost Hand Ross successively eliminated the captain of Hammer Pirates who had a bounty of 28 million berries and Leopard Pirates with a bounty of 19 million berries in Pirate town Bagh. Later, he also killed the widely known in the sea, Pirate Hunter Blood Hand and his group, who were trying to kill him. So far, his reputation has spread far and wide and no one dared to question his bounty of up 40 million Berries. Its been more than two months since he had captured the Flo pirates ship. Until now, Ross had killed 2 pirates whose bounties were between 15 to 20 million Berries and 3 pirates whose bounties were between 20 to 30 million. Since he had hunted pirates in a certain interval repeatedly, the rewards also drastically decreased, so Ross only got 80 points of Talent Proficiency. Fortunately. When he had killed the Hammer Pirates with a bounty of 28 million berries, Ross got an extra Free Talent Point, which is very satisfactory for Ross. He continues to hunt and kill the pirate below 30 million bounties but the rewards have become very low, and it is a waste of time. So, Ross has completely shifted his eyes to the pirates with more than 30 million bounty. Kingdom of Smale. This is a large kingdom of West Blue. It is one of the 170 countries which are under the World Government, and its king is eligible to participate in the World Council. In a tunnel of some city, Ross is wearing a leather cap with his back against the wall. He looked at Robin, who was also wearing a hat and said: How is the situation inside? Is there anything wrong with the intelligence? Robin was using the ability to spy inside the building next to her. After observing for a while, she retracted her ability and nodded to Ross. There is no problem with the intelligence. In the center room on the top floor is the location of the shady transaction, and the Captain White Blade of the White-Blade pirates is inside. The White-Blade pirates Captain is White Blade. No one knows his real name. He is only known by the name White Blade. His sword arts are very high and he was once a Pirate Hunter, but then he turned into a pirate with a bounty of 35 million Berries. This is not the first pirate that Ross was eyeing that has a bounty of more than 30 million berries, but he was the first target that he had looked for, which took nearly half a month. This is the first time that I will hunt a pirate with a bounty between 30 million to 50 million berries. I will definitely get 1 Free Talent Point. In that case, I can finally put a point in the Physical Enhancement in General talent. Ross lifted his hat slightly and stretched his body. These days, in order to improve his stamina, he threw all the tracking and intelligence aspects to Robin, and he did his best to do physical training. Training while putting his entire strength and energy, Rosss stamina has also grown a lot. He has already adapted to the improved power of the Distortion Fruit, and had put 30 points of proficiency on the power of distortion, which has upgraded the power of distortion. Wait for me here. Ross took the 35 million Berries reward poster of the White Blade from Robins hand, then told her to wait before turning around and raising one of his hand to the wall in front of him. Buzz! The power of distortion acts on the wall. Under the precise control of Ross, the wall is not collapsed, but he made enough space on the wall to climb. Ross stamped on his foot and jumped up. While stepping on the recessed position, his hand once again grabbed the wall at a higher position and took a leap again. Whiz! Whiz! After two consecutive jumps while borrowing strength, Ross jumped onto the roof and disappeared. Being wanted by Marines, and hostile to the World Government, but he still tirelessly hunt pirates. He is really a strange Captain. Robin stared at Ross who disappeared into the sky and muttered. Most of the pirate are hostile to each other, especially in the Grand Line and even in the second half of New World, a fierce fight often happens when they meet by chance. But Ross acts, not only when he accidentally encounters pirates, but also takes the initiative to hunt all the famous pirate, as if he must step on blood and bones of others, to become the most fearful existence in the West Blue. Robin shook her head and started her ability to continue observing inside the building. In the center room on the top floor. It is a dark room which has all the curtain pulled and there is no place from which sunlight can come. There are oil lamps in the room. There are about twenty people in the room out of which some are standing and some are sitting. It took more than half a month but I finally got in touch with you. An old man with a gray beard and a ceremonial hat sat on one of the sofas with a cane in his hands, opposite to a swordsman wearing a white jacket. The swordsman in a white jacket is the Pirate Captain White Blade. I heard that you are willing to pay a high amount of money. White Blades body leaned forward slightly, with a dangerous smile on his face. The old man in the ceremonial hat said: Yes, 40 million Berries, this is our compensation for the request. Thats a lot. The White Blade leaned back on the sofa, saying: Lets talk, what do you want us to do? I need you to destroy Capone Mafias Underground base in the Kingdom of Smale. The development of Capone Mafia has seriously affected our organization. The old man in the ceremonial hat showed coldness in his eyes. When White Blade heard this, he could not help but reveal a hint of ridicule. I see, the criminal organization that you secretly support in the Kingdom of Smale couldnt even get rid of a foreign force. It is really interesting that you ask a pirate to help you. The old man narrowed his eyes and said: No, they can, but it will be counterproductive. It will cause big trouble for me if my influence and power were to be discovered. So I can only deal with it secretly then do you accept this mission or not? Accept. The White Blade was straightforward and said: But it is very troublesome to make problems with Capone Mafia, 40 million Berries is not enough, I want 50 million Berries. 40 million berries are already very high. The old man looked at the White Blade with a sullen look. He didnt seem to plan to add extra money, but White Blade used a handkerchief to wipe out his scabbard, his appearance as if he didnt care. When the situation was in a stalemate, the ceiling on the top of the crowd suddenly transmitted an odd sound. CHAPTER 18 YOUNG CAPONE BEGE Previous ChapterNext Chapter Kch! Kch! The White Blade and the old man simultaneously looked upward and saw that strange distortions and cracks had appeared on the entire ceiling. The cracks spread in all directions and suddenly together with the chandelier above collapsed and fell down. Whats going on? Everyone present froze but White Blade reacted very quickly. Raising his sword, he split the ceiling that was falling down into two halves. The ceiling fell down about two meters away, and the sunlight shone in from the hole above, making the somewhat dark room brighter. Interesting, Kingdom of Smale and pirates have made a deal, but regrettably, your deal most likely wont get to finish. Rosss voice spread throughout the room from the hole. Then, Everyone saw a figure wearing a fur hat, one hand pressing down on the fur hat on his head, jumped down from the hole, and fell lightly above the ruins. Who?! Audacious, who are you? The crowd present was startled. They showed a vigilant and fierce expression while staring at Ross, who had suddenly entered. The first thought of the old man wearing the ceremonial hat was that Capone Mafia has found their secret deal and suddenly sneaked in, but when he saw Ross appearance, his pupil immediately shrank. You are Ghost Hand Ross! In addition to the White Blade pirates, they also tried to contact the Ghost Hand pirates in private, but because they could not find any contact information, they finally gave up on them. He had contacted White Blade pirates with great difficulty. He didnt expect for the Ghost Hand Pirates Captain Ghost Hand Ross to suddenly rush in uninvited. Ghost hand, Ross. White Blade pirates Captain White Blade, looked at Ross standing on the ruins, his brow slightly wrinkled and gradually revealed a dangerous look. The name Ghost Hand Ross has spread throughout the West Blue region in recent months. Whether it is a pirate or criminal organization or Marines, he has annihilated all of them. He is a terrifying person who comes after powerful people purely for hunting. Are you here for me? White Blades fingers gripped the hilt of his sword and asked Ross in a sinking voice. Ghost Hand Ross suddenly appeared here, he does not think that Ross came here to play. By Rosss behavior, it appears that he is here for him. Yes. Ross nodded and calmly answered White Blades question and slowly came down from the destroyed ceiling ruins and then headed towards him. White Blades subordinates were completely subdued by the imposing manner that Ghost Hand Ross, this given name brings. As for the members of the criminal organization of the Kingdom of Smale, they were also shaking. Looking at Ross approaching, White Blades face gradually turned gloomy. Besides solemn expression in his eyes, they also had a hint of killing intent and anger. He is a big pirate with a bounty of 35 million Berries. He has been sailing in the sea for several years, but Ross name had just become famous in the past two months. For Ross to daring to look for him, he will show him who is the prey! Flowing blade, behead evil! White Blade held the hilt of his sword and fiercely shouted. He suddenly unsheathed the sword in his hand, stepped forward, and chopped sideways towards Ross, cleaving Ross from the left abdomen to the right shoulder. The sword seems to have cleaved Ross into two halves, but at the moment he chopped out, White Blade inwardly shouted. Not good! Because he clearly felt that his sword hit nothing! Whiz! Sure enough, in the next moment, from a position very close to him, a fist came towards him. At this moment of life and death, he desperately turned around and defend with his sword. When the fist wind attacked over, he blocked it with the point of the sword. But, After the fist wind fiercely fell down, the sword in his hand produced a kch sound, and suddenly distorted and broke. Together with the sword his arms, his arm also distorted into broken bones and flesh. Aaaahhhh!! White Blade screamed and covered his badly mangled arm. He stepped hard on the floor, retreating at full speed without the slightest bit of hesitation, trying to escape by knocking and breaking wall at his back. But before he could hit the wall, Rosss figure flashed like a phantom and swept the delicate blade clenched in his hand towards him. White Blades head accompanied by blood soared in the sky. His face had disbelief written on his face. He didnt dare believe that he could only make two moves before he was defeated and killed by Ross. Phantom image Is this his ability? Damn, his movements should have made a sound, why didnt I discover it earlier White Blade sunk into darkness and completely lost consciousness. At the same time, a familiar systems sound resounded beside his ear. 35 million Berries bounty, Pirate Captain White Blade has been hunted. Reward obtained, 60 Talent Proficiency points, and 1 Free Talent Point. Listening to the sound coming beside his ear, Ross calmly looked at White Blades body that had fallen down in a pool of blood, and slowly straightened. With his current strength, even if White Blade can detect that he has distorted the light and created an illusory image similar to reflection in water, he will still not be his opponent. He used Light Distortion ability just so that he can quickly finish the fight. Because the speed of this battle is too fast, only one move decided the winner, two moves have decided the life and death, that most of the people present werent even able to react. This. this Lie, its a lie, right? How can boss lose in one move White Blade pirates looked at the corpse of the fallen White Blade, and revealed incredulous look in their eyes. Their eyes also contained shock and fear. The black ceremonial hat wearing old man from the criminal organization of the Kingdom of Smale was also a bit shocked. He didnt expect Rosss strength to be more fierce than the rumors. The 35 million Berries White Blade was defeated so quickly! To their horror. Ross raised his head up and calmly looked at White Blades subordinates. He didnt want to let these people go. His body flashed and then he waved his sword to get rid of them. Sha! Sha! Sha! The pirates wanted to escape, but Ross was using Soru, there is no chance for them to escape. They were all killed. Killing the last pirate, Ross stopped. With the Blade Happy Spring in his hand which was dripping with blood, he turned to the criminal organization members of the Kingdom of Smale. The black ceremonial hat wearing old man has cold sweat dripping down on his forehead and he barely maintained his calm as he said, The strength of Captain Ross is stronger than rumors. It is a great honor to be able to see it with my own eyes. The scene was quiet. Seeing that Ross still stood there and did not move, but he also did not attack them so the old man paused and carefully continued: I dont know if Captain Ross would like to make a deal with us. We just need you to destroy Capone Mafias Underground power in our Kingdom of Smale. We are willing to pay 50 million Berries. Ross stood there, watching the black ceremonial hat wearing old man calmly, letting the blood on the swords tip drop on the exquisite woolen blanket on the ground. He didnt spoke, so no one present dared to speak. There were only a few faintly discernible sounds around them, extremely low, but the unsteady breathing sound echoed in the surrounding. Starting with the Flo pirates. So far, not counting the White Blade pirates, Ross had already annihilated five pirate groups. These five pirate groups have some treasures, all of which add up to around 20 million Berries. White Blade pirates ship should also have some. If I can add 50 million Berries on top, there will be about 80 million Berries. Flo pirates ship is transportation means for only the initial stages to him. He still needs a more powerful and faster ship. The 50 million Berries should be enough for him to find a boatman to build a new ship. Moreover. There is some conflict between Capone Mafia and him that cannot be resolved. Ross was pondering in his heart. Just as he was about to make a decision, Robin suddenly came in from outside and interrupted his thoughts. Captain Ross! The situation has changed. We are surrounded by people from Capone Mafia! Robins tone was a little grave as she said to Ross. Unn? Ross was a little surprised. He glanced at the black ceremonial hat wearing old man and found that he was astonished. It seemed that he did not expect Capone Mafia to surround him. Ross walked to the window and raised the corner of the curtain. He glanced outside and saw that the street outside was completely blocked. There were hundreds of Capone Mafia members who had surrounded this place completely. The weapons held in the hands of the members of the Capone Mafia were not only the guns, but they also carried a lot of massive portable artillery! A war-like scene. Rosss gaze changed slightly. His eyes swept through the members of Capone Mafia, and soon fell on a young figure holding a cigar in his mouth who was standing in front of the crowd. That man is Capone Bege? CHAPTER 19 RAZE THIS PLACE TO THE GROUND Previous ChapterNext Chapter Capone Bege, one of the main decision makers of Capone Family, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will soon take full charge of Capone Family. Robin stood behind Ross and whispered Capone Beges information. Because Capone Bege is one of the Worst Generation together with Luffy, so Ross knows about him more than Robin. Listening to Robins report, he did not show any surprised expression. Damn Capone Bege, how did the Capone Family suddenly launch such a large-scale operation without us knowing about it? The black ceremonial hat wearing old man walked to the window and looked at the Capone Mafia members below who were like an army. His face becoming extremely ugly. Capone Bege led a large number of members of the criminal organization, stopped on the street in front of the building, and his subordinates quickly occupied the streets and other buildings around them, and the weapons were all aimed at the building. Your actions are too slow. Your lack of speed has inevitably lead to failure, so, its quite regretful that everything will end here. Capone Bege was holding a cigar in his mouth as he looked up, with the muscles on either side of the cheeks moving up slightly, revealing a terrifying smile. His smiling face revealed confidence that everything was in his hand. Damn it! The black ceremonial hat wearing old man couldnt understand how the news leaked out. He bit his teeth and pushed open the half of the window, to talk to Capone Bege: What do you want to do? Capone Bege?! Of course its to kill you all before you make a deal with White Blade pirates by the way coming here solved another trouble, Ghost Hand Ross. Capone Bege looked at the old man at the window, and his tone was not anxious. This sentence stunned not only old man but even Ross and Robin. He thought he was accidentally embroiled in all this. He didnt expect it to be not an accident, but something planned in advance. You are inside, right? Ghost Hand Ross! If you are inside, I think that guys of the White Blade pirates should have already been killed by you. Capone Bege holding a cigar in his mouth looked at the top floor of the building. Ross pushed open the half of the window, glanced at the numerous guns that were aimed at them, and looked calmly at Capone Bege, saying: How did you know that I was here? Lack of intelligence will lead to such a result I am very clear about White Blade pirates contacts, and I unexpectedly discovered it during investigation that you are also tracking White Blade pirates. Capone Bege looked at Ross, his tone neither fast nor slow. Ross once killed Capone Leckie, one of the high-level member of Capone Family, and by killing him Ross has incurred Capone Familys hatred. After discovering Rosss movements, it was natural for them to investigate all the way. Ross turned his head and glanced at Robin. Robin looked serious as she whispered to Ross: All the intelligence we collected before came from the Underground world. Capone Mafia is in charge of a large part of the West Blues Underground World. I was a little careless. No. Ross shook his head slightly: Its not your fault. My actions are too predictable as we did not hide deliberately. It is normal for Capone Mafia to know our whereabouts as they are in charge of the intelligence network. Ross turned his head and again looked at Capone Bege below. He said in a indifference voice: I am really lacking in intelligence, but you explained so much, do you think you have complete control over the situation? Capone Bege spread out his hands and a large number of members of the criminal organization behind him grinned evilly. Yes, because of the large disparity in military strength. Even if you work together, you can only die. Compared to other criminal organization organizations that compete for territory and power, Capone Bege is very different. He finds pleasure not in competing for power and money, but to watch other people in chaos and despair. The old man listened to Capone Beges words, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes. He couldnt help but clench his fists, and shouted at Capone Bege looking fierce while feeling cowardly in heart: Capone Bege! Dont forget where you are standing. If you dare to do anything here, my organization Bang!! His words have not finished when a sound of gunshot suddenly resounds on the street. Dont know when but Capone Bege had a gun in his hand. The muzzle of the gun was emitting smoke, while the old mans body froze. There was a bloody hole between his eyebrows. His body shook and he fell from the top of the floor. Noisy. Capone Bege said indifferently as he maintained the motion of firing the gun: So, the unnecessary drama ends here, raze everything to the ground! Bang! Bang! Bang!! Just at the moment when Capone Bege ordered, there were countless guns and artillery fired at the building where Ross was, not only aiming at the top floor but they attacked the entire building. Countless bullets and artillery, in an instant, smashed all the windows and glass in the building, bombing the streets and shaking the streets, letting a large group of civilians who were escaping in the distance, showing a frightened expression. Inside the building. When the black ceremonial hat wearing old man tried to threaten Capone Bege, Ross put down the curtains of the window and turned to Robin and said: Lets go, we need to go down. Yes. Robin was a little nervous, but after observing Ross calmness, she also calmed down. She had tried to find out about Rosss character over these past few months. He is similar to her and can remain absolutely calm in the most situation. And it is the same in this situation. Not only Ross is calm, but he is also reacting calmly, which shows that he has a way to deal with this situation and was not facing a desperate situation. Bang! However, before Robin could go downstairs together with Ross, the black ceremonial hat wearing old man was shot by Capone Bege, and then it was full-scale gunfire on their building! Boom! Boom! Boom!! The surrounding glass shattered in an instant, and countless bullets accompanied by shards of glass scattered around in the room. Robin subconsciously had to lean over to avoid the fire from the window, but before she leaned over, Ross had already stepped forward and hugged her from the side. Buzz! Glass fragments and bullets landed on Rosss back, but affected by some strange power, they changed directions. At the same time, the floor under Rosss feet also distorted by the Distortion Fruit, and then suddenly collapsed. Boom! Boom! Boom!! With a thunderous sound, Ross took Robin from the top floor and fell to the bottom floor of the building. There was no basement in the building but Ross who fell to the first floor still exerts the power of Distortion Fruit. Hualala! Under the power of distortion fruit, the thick ground distorted and collapsed, and a circular area with a radius of about two meters collapsed and a hole of the same size appeared, which continued to extend downward. When the hole reached about three meters deep, Ross stopped the ability. After releasing Robin, he raised his hand to the top and blocked the numerous stones that had been shattered and collapsed, creating an underground space that could not be attacked by any artillery. Kch! Kch! Ross held up the collapsing stones until they were completely distorted and condensed into a block, then he let go of his hand and looked at the girl in front of him: I didnt expect them to launch an attack so quickly. It was too late to run away. I can only deal with it in this way. It doesnt matter, I dont mind. Robins black pupil stared at Ross quietly in the dark for a while, and the corner of her mouth curved a little. She sighed softly, patted away the dust on her shoulders and clothes, and then quietly examined the current situation. CHAPTER 20 ACTIVATING PHYSICAL ENHANCEMEN T Previous ChapterNext Chapter Bang! Bang! Bang!! The bombardment was concentrated on the building and the terrain surrounding the building was razed. Capone Bege knows that Rosss personal strength is not to be taken lightly, so when they have absolute military strengths advantage and to make sure that Ross died in the gunfire he still hadnt given the order to stop the bombardment. Ross couldnt be given any chance to survive. Underground. Listening to the muffled roars that came from above, Robin looked at the Underground space that Ross had made with his ability, and was inwardly thinking. Ross can make such an Underground space, and it doesnt look exhausting, which means that they can get out of this place at any time. Looking at Ross, who doesnt seem to have any intention to do anything. That is to say that he doesnt want to leave like this. Sure enough, he always act like this. What am i looking at? Are you going to ask me why didnt I create a underground passage and directly leave? Ross who was looking above noticed Robins gaze on him and asked her. Robins right hand was holding the elbow of her left hand and the fingers of her left hand were resting on her chin creating a thinking pose. She shook her head when she heard Rosss question: No, this kind of question does not need to be asked. Directly running away does not conform to Captains style. Ross slightly smiled. He did not respond but looked up again and quietly listening to the sound of the guns and the buildings collapsing. Robin only guessed a little bit. Indeed, with his style, it is impossible that he would directly escape. As for the second reason, it is not easy to create such space underground by using the power of Distortion. Making an Underground passage would cost a lot of stamina, and the stamina that he is going to spend making that passage will be enough for him to kill hundreds of Capone Mafia members. The worst generation, the criminal organization godfather Capone Bege Barring any surprise, you may have to be removed from the list of eleven people of the Worst Generation. Ross calmly muttered to himself. He will not be merciful because the other party is a character from original work. Since he chose to be his enemy, he must bear the consequences. In front of Ross was the translucent Talent System Interface called out by him that only he could see. The Living Department still only has the Navigation talent. There are five talents in the active talent branch of the Combat department. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 130 Shave(Soru) of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Among them, Distortion Fruit has an additional active branch of Light Distortion. The General Department only has Agility Enhancement active. Physical Enhancement belongs to the General Departments talents and requires two Free Talent Points to activate. Now Ross has the activation conditions. In the early stage, the agility enhanced was very formidable, and it was and still is a huge advantage. After all, most of the Battles rely on the guns, so Ross had endured the pain and consume 2 points of Free Talent Points to activate Agility Enhancement in early days and put in 50 proficiency points in it. But for current Ross, the importance of stamina has been fully manifested. Without powerful stamina, the powerful Devil Fruit ability cannot be afforded. In the long run, whether it is for other aspects of development, or for the better development of Distortion Fruit, strengthening of stamina is very necessary for him. Hu. Ross breathed a sigh of relief and chose to activate Physical Enhancement. Buzz! Just as the Physical Enhancement talent turned from green to gold, Ross felt a heat flow well up in his body. In a short period of time, his body and spirit has been enhanced by almost 50%! The talents of the General Department are different from the talents of the Combat department and they are divided into five stages. As long as it is activated, even at zero proficiency which is a Basic Level enhancement, the promotion rate is about 50%. After each additional proficiency point added, an additional one percent increase is added. When the proficiency reaches 50 points, it will be changed to Mid Level enhancement, and the total promotion will reach 150%. Going up again. Ross only knows that 100 points are for High-Level enhancement, 200 points for Top Level enhancement, and 500 points for Maximum Value. He doesnt know how much can it be enhanced after reaching these boundaries, because Agility Enhancement only has 50 proficiency points. Basic Level Physical Enhancement is very good, but it is not enough After adapting to a large amount of physical strength upgrade, Ross took a deep breath and directly put 50 proficiency points in it. Basic Level Physical Enhancement turned into Mid Level Physical Enhancement, and Rosss physical fitness is once again promoted. Narrow Underground space. Robin thought about the situation outside and the situation that they might encounter next. Suddenly, she looked at Ross who was standing close and vaguely felt that something had changed in him, his muscles under the shirt seemed to slightly swell a little? Misconception? Robin doubtfully stared at Ross for a moment and finally shook her head and unconsciously averted her gaze. She is only sixteen years old, and she is still a few months away from the age of seventeen. Mid Level Physical Enhancement Ross took half a minute to adapt to the continuous physical strength promotion. I have to say that the upgrade of Talent System is perfect and overbearing. Even if it is continuously improved in a short period of time, there is no side effect, and it doesnt even take too long to adapt. Under the Mid Level Enhancement, Ross clearly felt that his control over the power of Distortion Fruit was greatly enhanced. For Ross, the Distortion Fruits power is a very heavy weapon. When he fully wields it, it will naturally put a lot of burden on the body, and it also consumes too much stamina. But. If the strength of the body is greatly improved, the heavy weapon from before will become like a wooden stick in the hand of an ordinary person who is waving it around, even at a full swing, it can be easily wielded. There are still 85 proficiency points left. Ross glanced at his remaining Talent Proficiency points, and after thinking about for a moment, he finally decided to not leave behind anything. So, he used them all. After all, the current situation is not good. There are 300 people above belonging to the same organization, and more importantly, they were carrying artillery whose destructive power cannot be compared with ordinary guns. 85 proficiency points. Rosss final choice was to put another 50 points in the Physical Enhancement bringing it to 100-point in High-Level enhancement and the remaining 35 points are put in the Distortion Fruit. The proficiency reaches a 100 points in the Physical Enhancement which is at High-Level, which makes Rosss muscles perfectly rounded, and the body under the thin shirt becomes perfect. Perfect enough that if he was stark naked, it will cause countless girls to scream. Of course. Robins is a calculative and calm girl, even if she is aware of the strange changes in Ross, she will only be a little surprised and after that, she will ignore it. Many of Talent Systems talents are not completely independent but have a number of complementary effects on each other. Rosss Physical Enhancement reached High Level, and his physical strength increased by nearly three times. Even without the Agility Enhancement, his speed has improved. Similarly. Shave(Soru) in the Marines Rokushiki did not have any proficiency points put in it but it still improved thanks to the Physical Enhancement. However, these talents affected by Physical Enhancement, their increased couldnt be compared to directly putting points in proficiency points. CHAPTER 21 COULD NOT HI T Previous ChapterNext Chapter After selecting a series of talents, Rosss talent skills tree was changed beyond recognition. Combat Department. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 165 Marine Rokushiki C Soru: 0 Marine Rokushiki C Kami-e (Paper Drawing): 0 General department. Agility Enhancement: 50 Physical Enhancement: 100 With the High-level physical Enhancement and the 165 proficiency in the Distortion Fruit ability, various aspects of his have been greatly enhanced. His physical strength has strengthened by three times which allowed him to withstand the further improvement of the Distortion Fruit ability. Now the range of Distortion Fruit should reach nearly 15 meters, which means from where he is standing he can completely distort the area of ??15 meters around him. This power of distortion is enough to withstand normal guns bullets, and even against those portable cannons. After all the upgrades were completed, Ross adapted to his enhanced strength while waiting quietly for the bombardment to end. On the ground. The continuous bombardment continued on for less than two minutes and the broken building could no longer withstand it. Amidst the smoke and fire, the building collapsed. The stones that splashed around also bruised several criminal organization members who were too close. Tell the guns teams to stop and cannoneer to continued the bombardment. Capone Bege had a cigar in his mouth as he calmly stood at the front of the crowd. He was facing the collapsing buildings without retreating while giving orders in a deep voice. Yes! The members of the criminal organization members armed with guns ceased firing. As the buildings had fully collapsed, their guns did not have much effect. The remaining cannoneers are still firing cannonballs continuously and bombarding the wreckage of the collapsed buildings, and there is not a single part of the building which was not broken as a result. Bang! Bang! After another ten minutes, the walls of the building could not be seen as they were all broken to pieces, which were mixed with countless iron filings and debris. Godfather, the cannonballs are all used up. Its about time to stop. This level of concentrated firepower is enough to kill anyone and even if Ghost Hand Ross is an iron man he would have been broken into pieces. A captain who led many gunners went to Capone Bege and reported. Capone Bege stared at the broken ruins and finally nodded and spit out a ring of smoke. Almost, let the gunners keep two cannonballs while fired everything else. It will be regarded as a salute to the funeral. Yes. The captain responded and quickly conveyed the order. Listening to the sounds of gunfire that was slowly weakening, many Capone Mafia members looked at the wreckage of the building with an evil smile on their faces. To dare provoke Capone Mafia, this is the end for him! Did he think we are powerless because he is a pirate? Pirates always have to come ashore. In the middle of ridicule and evil laughter of the many Capone Mafia members, the sound of gunfire has finally stopped completely, and the wreckage has become almost flat, leaving only smoke and weak flames. Capone Bege walked next to a member of the criminal organization holding the camera. Is it all recorded? No problem boss the entire process was recorded. Thats good, we can take this recording to the Marines for the bounty Capone Bege smiled a little, he is not very interested in money, but to have strong firepower, money is essential. After all, Ghost Hand Rosss has a bounty of 40 million Berries. If it is coupled with the Pirate Captain White Blade, it is 75 million Berries, enough to purchase a large number of weapons for his troops. However. Just as Capone Bege commanded his men and planned to evacuate, he heard few voices from the piece of ruins that had turned into debris. Hearing the sounds, the members of the Mafia were first stunned for a moment. They thought that a cannonball that did not exploded had blown up at this time, but soon they found that their conclusion was wrong. Huala!! Following countless debris and iron pieces splashing out, a figure drilled out from the ruins filled with smoke. His body was completely clean, and not only his shirt was not the slightest bit tattered, but there wasnt even a little bit traces of burns. Ross patted the burnt black dust stuck on his shoulders, as he slowly stepped out of the smoke-filled ruins. Did you really thought that it is finished? Capone Bege. Ross calmly looked at Capone Bege in the crowd. Heh. Capone Beges face looked a bit ugly and his teeth put force almost biting the cigar in the mouth, but he still coldly said: I didnt expect you to be still alivebut if you had escaped the mass bombardment, you should have kept hiding and not come out like this. Do you think that with your strength you can reverse this huge disparity in power? If I dont try it, how would I know? Ross glanced at the guns and the cannons that aimed at him and his eyes calmly returned to Capone Bege. After his voice fell, he did not move forward to fight but took a gentle step forward and walked out of the ruins and toward Capone Bege step by step. The atmosphere is very strange. Being pointed out at by the countless guns, Ross did not seem to see the guns and cannons that were aimed at him at all. He was very calm as he slowly stepped forward. Kill him! Capone Bege stared at Ross, who was walking towards him step by step, for two seconds. His eyes flashed with murderous intent and he shouted loudly. Bang! Bang! Bang!! Suddenly, countless guns aiming at him fired at the same time. Bullets and artillery all hit Ross, but they strangely penetrate passed through Ross. Ross was still slowly moving forward step by step. He completely ignored the gunfire as if it had never happened. Thiswhat is going on?! The ferocious faces of Capone Mafia members couldnt help but turn dumbfounded. They helplessly looked at guns spitting fire, but they couldnt cause Ross, who was slowly moving forward, to stop the slightest bit. Capone Bege was also slightly shocked, but soon he recalled all the information about Ross. There seems to be a piece of information about him that shows his ability to create illusions. Is that illusory image? Where is his main body? Capone Bege had a grave expression and he didnt dare to show slightest bit carelessness. He raised his concentration to the max, intending to respond to Ross surprise attack that may appear at any time, and looking for Ross real position. Ross could only use distort light and couldnt distort the sound, but because of the violent gunfire in all directions, it has overshadowed the sound of his slow footsteps, so that Capone Bege couldnt detect it. The situation on the ground was just an effect similar to the refraction of light in water. But, after learning that Ross seen by his eyes is a illusory image, Capone Bege quickly responded, and ordered his subordinates: Dont aim, and just randomly shoot at the central area. The mafia members who were shocked by Rosss ability, after hearing Capone Beges command were slightly shocked but they quickly executed the command and began to shoot at the ground, firing 360 degrees around them without leaving a blind corner. This attack has had some effect. Some of the bullets in the field showed a strange distorted scene in the void after the shot, as if space was folded and the shooting route changed into an arc. Even if it was just a simple visual distortion, it looks very shocking. There is no effect at all! Damn, what is this ability? The members of the mafia finally revealed panic on their face. CHAPTER 22 SEASTONE WEAPON Previous ChapterNext Chapter However. Compared to the panic of his subordinates, Capone Bege was extremely calm. After he sensed that Rosss main body was really somewhere here, he decisively gave an order in a low voice. Victor! Give it to me. A strange lanky young man grinned and pulled out two delicate and bizarre guns from his waist and continues to fire bullets towards Ross. These singular bullets scatter around, and one of them happens to be at the position where the Ross body is located. Um? Ross instinctively perceived the threat. He did not have the ability to withstand the bullets of the thin young man and quickly dodged. The bizarre bullet was able to rub against Rosss waist, although it was only a moment, Ross was still keenly aware that his Devil Fruit could hardly destroy the bullet. Without a doubt, they were Seastone bullets! In this sea for the things that can restrict the Devil Fruit ability, Seastone is undoubtedly the most restrictive thing, even more than the sea water! Many of Paramecias Devil Fruit abilities, such as Strawhat Luffy rubber ability become soft and weak when he falls into the sea but the body still remains in the rubber form, but Seastone can turn the Devil Fruit ability back into the original form and flesh and blood become completely ordinary that can be hurt. For Ross. His Distortion Fruit is more inclined to twist something when it is launched. In addition to Light Distortion, the body needs to touch the substance to take effect. Any bullet that touches his body will be affected by the power of distortion at the moment of touching. But the Seastone bullets are different as the moment they touch his body, they will make his body unable to use the ability. On the field. Although the light is still distorted which greatly interferes with everyones vision, Rosss body dodged and the illusion of light refraction is naturally completely synchronized. Ross can control the phantom and his bodys movements at the same time but it will not have any meaning and it will take a lot of energy and stamina. Capone Bege perceived that Ross evaded the Seastone bullets, he once again revealed a confident look. When I know that you are a Devil Fruit user, do you think I will not prepare anything for you and just act rashly? Seastone weapon, you really are well prepared, but Ross calmly listened to Capone Beges words, but did not do anything instead he responded calmly: So what? Even if you have a Seastone weapon, you have to be able to hit me first! Whiz! Whiz! Almost at the moment when Ross voice fell, the illusion in the field suddenly stepped forward, and he rushed to the crowd at a very fast speed. Seastone weapon restrained Devil Fruit ability, but it cant restraints other abilities and for Ross, in addition to Devil Fruit ability, his physical strength is also three times stronger! Originally, his physical strength was already much stronger than that of ordinary people and he was three times more powerful than any ordinary person but now with the physical enhancement, his already strong body became a lot stronger and the effects are extremely terrifying. Even the effect of Soru of Marines Rokushiki is increased, even if there is no extra proficiency in it, his current speed is comparable to those that have been training in it for many years. Scoff! Scoff! Rosss figure swiftly passed through the crowd. Wherever he went, flesh, blood, and bones burst and the scene looked like a grand feast from hell. Originally his speed was extremely fast and with the visual interference produced by Light Distortion, no one could capture his silhouette and launch an attack. Damn! Capone Bege didnt expect Ross speed to be so terrifying, and his ability to use illusion became even more troublesome when his speed was already so fast. Even though his subordinates have some extraordinary powers but even if they try to fight him they will lose as they are no match for Ross. Seeing that in a short amount of time his subordinates suffered dozens of casualties, and they are still increasing as the time passed on. Capone Bege has no choice but to order his subordinates to evacuate. Everyone, stop firing. Victor, Leckie, stop him! The way the Ross slaughter his men is way too horrible. Almost everywhere you can see a piece of flesh and blood and in some parts, there are people who had been twisted into dough twist. Those members of the criminal organization who held the guns and firearms did not know how to attack and had long been become fearful and resigned. They heard their Bosss orders and retreated. At the same time. Two of Capone Bege subordinates, Victor and Leckie, pulled out a few poles of different colors which seems like they were made of steel and ran towards Ross. Seastone weapons are difficult to make into the shape of a sword. Poles are the easiest to make. It is much easier to make than handcuffs. It can also be used as a sword when facing a Devil fruit ability users because they only need to hit hard and the seastone will be able to damage any Devil fruit user. Dont resist and allow us to capture you! You are not the first Devil Fruit user that we have killed! Victor and Leckies faces were ferocious and after judging the real position of Rosss body they separated to left and to the right to intercepted Ross in the center. Although the illusion produced by Light Distortion still causes great interference towards guns and cannons,you can still rely on sound in the battle. Ross looked at Victor and Leckie who were surrounding him and glanced at the Seastone weapon in their hands, saying: Seastone weapon This is a real limitation on my ability, but you have made a big mistake? What? Victor and Leckie were slightly stunned by Rosss tone. Seastone restricting ability is not your ability, it is just a tool, for the real battle you have to look at the persons own ability. After saying that, Ross suddenly pulled out the Named Sword Happy Spring from his waist, and clashed with the two approaching men. Buzz! Under Rosss wave, Invisible sword energy rushed out from the sword and swept directly toward Victor and Leckie. Although Ross does not have any sword arts talent, Close-Combat Fighting also contains a small part of the sword arts like slash, cuts, and stabs, etc. In many cases, it can also be used as a brute force Like Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) of Marines Rokushiki. And his present physical ability has met the standard by which it has become possible for him to activate Rankyaku (Tempest Kick), and in this case, he is holding a Named Sword so it is easy for him to produce sword energy from a simple cut. Victor and Leckie couldnt see the invisible sword energy cuts, but they suddenly felt fear, they instinctively became aware of the coming danger and subconsciously placed the Seastone poles in front of them. Bang! Almost at the moment when the sword energy was in contact with the Seastone poles, a terrifying giant force spread through the Seastone poles and came towards them. Seastone can withstand the Devil Fruit ability, and can even block many top swordsmans cuts, but they can not completely neutralize the violent energy cuts. This is badAhhh! The power of this guy This attack directly pushed them back three or four meters. Although they were able to stop themselves, their entire arms were numb, as they looked at each other in horror. They completely lost. They are not afraid of any simple swordsmen or Body Technique experts, who can be killed with large-scale intensive firepower. They are not afraid of Devil fruit ability. With Seastone poles and Seastone bullets, it is enough to deal with them. But. A person who can almost crush their existence in terms of body and sword arts, but at the same time is a Devil Fruit user who can ignore the guns artillery. He is a big trouble! People at this level of existence will be able to acquire a place for them even in the Grand Line, his reward of 40 million Berries is way too low when compared to his strength! In a distant place. Seeing Ross hit the Seastone weapons of Victor and Leckie, forcing them back three or four meters, Capone Bege could no longer remain calm. He clearly didnt expect Rosss Body Technique and sword arts to be so terrifying such that Ross could easily run amock in the West Blue. CHAPTER 23 REAR ADMIRAL BASTILLE Previous ChapterNext Chapter After determining that his battle plan has failed, Capone Bege put away his guns without any hesitation and turned to leave. Dont you think its too late to leave now? Of course, Ross wouldnt easily let Capone Bege go. He calmly spoke and at the same time stepped forward, rushing towards Capone Bege. Capone Bege, the character who stirred up a lot of trouble in the original work is indeed not an ordinary man. He could still respond to his Soru. Bang! Bang! Instantly when Ross started pursuing him, he resolutely turned around, jumped back, pulled the trigger and fired a series of Seastone bullets towards Ross. Ross can easily ignore any ordinary bullet, and even if it is a high-standard large lead bullet, it can be blocked by his current Distortion Fruit ability, but he still needs to be a little respectful to the Seastone bullets. Whiz! Ross leaned to the side to avoid the bullets, and at that moment Victor and Leckie, who were repelled by him earlier, clenched their teeth and rushed towards him. If Capone Bege is killed by Ross, they will definitely die too. As long as they can block Ross, there is still a chance for them. Are you willing to die for him? Ross looked calmly and indifferently at Victor and Leckie, who rushed to block him and gently adjusted the sword in his hand. Then, I will fulfill your wish. Buzz!! Although Rosss sword arts cant be called anything special but with his strong physical strength and speed, his cuts are still extremely powerful. The sword fell and although it was not wrapped in sword energy, it created heavy wind pressure. It seems to have mountain cleaving and splitting earth might, making peoples breath stagnate. We need to block this! Victor and Leckies hearts jumped fiercely but at this time they could only clench their teeth, held the Seastone poles in their hands and cooperate to block Ross sword. Clang! The sword and the seastone poles intersected and the sparks flew out in all directions due to the collision. Seastones texture is extremely hard, even Happy Spring, one of the 21 Great Grade swords(O Wazamono grade swords) cannot cut that no matter how much power Ross applies. But Ross sword has a very strong and violent power contained in it and it pressed against Victor and Leckie who were holding the Seastone pole. Kch! Kch! Ross double-handed sword with his power alone put Victor and Leckie under tremendous pressure and even the ground under their feet showed signs of cracking. Although Victor and Leckie were barely able to resist, both of their faces flushed red and their arms trembled, clearly suffering from overexertion. Ross was disinclined to fight them any longer and his hands holding the sword pushed down hard. Chiii! Sword energy with a brute force rushed out and cut the ground in front of Ross, forming a crack of about three feet, and Victor and Leckie were naturally directly defeated. Ross didnt pause and his face was calm and indifferent as he ran the sword through Victors heart. Victor! Leckie screamed, he spared no effort and smashed the Seastone pole towards Ross, but both his arms had already lost their strength. Where would he still have the energy? Ross backhanded his sword and sent Leckies seastone pole flying, he shook his wrist, and then a head followed by blood flew into the sky. Killing Victor and Leckie seemed to be a trivial matter for Ross. He didnt gave them another glance. He turned around the sword and looked at Capone Bege who had escaped towards a street. Whiz! Ross stepped on the ground and cracks like a spider web appeared on the ground. He was like an arrow fired from a bow as he sped forward, sticking close to the ground. Almost instantaneously, Ross has crossed the street and caught up with Capone Bege in the middle of the second street. Bang! Bang! Capone Bege heard the movement behind him, and without even seeing he fired a row of bullets towards Ross and forced him to evade as Bege continued to escape. Even though the distance was very close, Ross, who was focused, easily avoided the Seastone bullets. Seven, Five. Now you should not have any more bullets. Ross calmly says and in one step came behind Capone Bege with Happy Spring in his hands waving out mercilessly. And just as Capone Bege was about to lose his head, a figure wearing a coat with justice written on it suddenly came in between them. Clang! Ross sword stopped at a half-foot distance from Capone Beges head. What prevented him from this was enormous shark sword! The enormous shark sword covered the back of Capone Beges head and occupied all the space between Happy Spring and Capone Beges head. The atmosphere solidified. Ross slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at Marine who had suddenly emerged. His insignias were different from the colonel he had seen before. It was the insignia of the higher rank and he also found the person in front of him very familiar. I finally found you, Ghost Hand Ross. The tall Marine holding the shark sword and wearing a strange bull-head mask said indifferently, as he blocked Ross Happy Spring in midair: I am from the West Blue T4 branch base. You can call me the Bastille or call me Rear Admiral Bastille. Bastille! Ross thought and remembered who this person was. He was a Vice Admiral who, in the original work, had followed Admiral Fujitora to Dressrosa to carry out a mission, but right now he is only a Rear Admiral in West Blue. There are not many Marine bases in West Blue, and most of them are on islands. The highest officer is only a Marine Captain in them. But, now to capture Ross, if you look in the whole West Blue, there are only a few Rear Admiral bases. The cigar was still in Capone Bege mouth. Yes. The operation to annihilate Ghost Hand Ross was planned by him for many days and even if he failed by some unexpected circumstances. He still has a plan ready for that. This information of retreat path, he had received two hours ago, and that also happened to be the time when marines arrived and landed on the ground. He turned to look at Ross, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, like a winner ridiculing a loser, saying: Before taking any action, you must consider the risk of failure and thoroughly plan your evacuation. Chiii! Ross took back Happy Spring, Happy Spring, and the Shark Cutter scraped and a few sparks flew, but there was no damage on the sword. Is the West Blue Marine already degraded to the extent of being commanded by a criminal organization? Ross looked calmly at the Marine Rear Admiral. Bastille snorted and put the enormous Shark Cutter on his shoulder. He said: Its just a report from the public So are you going to surrender, or are you going to wait for me to beat you half to death before taking you? He didnt like the criminal organization and he was even more disgusted with receiving assistance from the criminal organization but the Marine Headquarters had issued the order to capture Ghost Hand Ross no matter what and that order has been on his desk for a few months already. The scene was quiet. Ross calmly glanced behind Bastilles shoulders at Capone Bege, who stood a few meters away. He suddenly laughed. Why are you laughing? Bastille asked with a frown. Ross slowly raised his head, revealing an expression that he had never revealed before. It was hard to tell this expression as a smile but it was really a smile, only it was cruel and bloodthirsty and also a little bit cheerful. Marine Rear Admiral. Its really..not a bad Marine rank. CHAPTER 24 *HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter Bastille did not understand what Ross meant. Whether Ross felt that his rank was very high, or very low, he could not see it from Rosss expression. Ross expression was as if he is looking at his prey, but this expression was very strange and laughable in Bastille eyes. Prey? He is the captain of the West BlueT4 branch and not the Marine Captain of those branch divisions. His strength has already surpassed the pirates that have the bounty of more than 50 million Berries and he had defeated more than one of those pirates! Such that before long, with his achievements and age, he will be able to transfer to Headquarters to serve a post or to a large base on the Grand Line and become a Vice-Admiral. Ross dared to show him this kind of look? Ridiculous. And the Marine branch that he leads has already docked two Battleships on the shoreline. Even if Ross wants to escape, he will be bombed by close-range bombardments, including people and ship. It seems that you are not willing to surrender Bastilles aura changed from calm to fierce in an instant and he unknowingly revealed a ferocious expression on his face under the bull-head mask. But there is no doubt of that when he held the handle of his Shark Cutter, the pressure of a strong expert was revealed and it made Capone Bege in the distance look dignified. Godfather, Victor and Leckie are already The guns group have at least 114 casualties and the artillery team has at least 19 casualties. The loss is very heavy. There were scattered members of the criminal organization as well as a large number of Marine forces who came over here and members of the criminal organization reported to Capone Bege. Marines attitude towards the members of the criminal organization is very unfriendly, but due to the orders of their superiors, the criminal organization members such as Capone Bege were ignored. The loss is very serious, but it does not affect the overall situation. Capone Bege said with a calm expression, as he had a cigar in his mouth while looking at Bastille and Ross who were confronting each other in the distance. Although Bastille is proud, he doesnt look down on Ross. Any pirate that has the ability to throw West Blue into chaos, he needs to face them seriously. Chiii! His both hands gripped the handle of the Shark Cutter as he fiercely waved it towards Ross. A heavy momentum, bringing along a terrifying and invisible attack, swept obliquely towards Ross. This enormous Shark Cutter can very easily shot out formless attacks by only relying brute force, not to mention that Bastilles own sword arts were also very extraordinary. However. Such a powerful attack also has its weakness that is the speed which is too slow, Ross only needs to step slightly to one side to avoid the attack. Soru. Rosss gaze was like a lion staring at its prey, calm and steady, as he stepped forward and rushed towards Bastille. Bastille had read all the information on Ross and he knew that Ross could use Soru of Marines Rokushiki and has the ability to distort steel and even bullets, so when Ross rushed over, he didnt panic, and lifted his huge Shark Cutter and with a mighty force slammed it downwards towards Ross. Haaa! Because of the close distance, this attack was more difficult to dodge than the previous attack as it directly chops downwards towards Ross. However, just as the sword fell, Ross body suddenly just like a piece of paper, swayed and dodged the attack. Kami-e (Paper Drawing)! After avoiding Bastilles sword with Kami-e (Paper Drawing), Ross raised his hand and punched at Bastilles stomach. Even though Bastille was extremely tall, almost twice as big as Ross, he doesnt dare to face Rosss attack head-on. He did not hesitate and used Soru to avoid Rosss fist and at the same time attack with his sword at Ross back. Whiz! Ross looked calm as if everything was within his expectation, he leaped gently and turned over in the air and extended his hand and pressed it on Bastilles Shark Cutter. Kch! Even though it was in contact for only an instant, the enormous Shark Cutter distorted and cracks appeared on it. One-third of the sword had distorted into a spiral shape. Seeing that his Shark Cutter was damaged, Bastille immediately flew into rage. Both of his hands lifted the broken Shark Cutter high into the sky. Suddenly, he seemed to split into three and as he chopped down, three different attacks unexpectedly hacked down. Is this the combination of Kami-e (Paper Drawing) and sword arts Ross lightly snorted but did not choose to withdraw as he greeted one of the sword by clenching his fist and slamming it towards the attack. Originally one-third of the Shark Cutter has been damaged, weakening Bastilles attack power, but Bastille still used this type of scattered attack expecting it to finish Ross but to Ross, this attack has already been weakened, so why wouldnt he dare to face it head on? Buzz!! Ross directly evaded two of Bastille three attacks and punched towards the last attack. The moment the formless attack touched Ross fist, it froze in the air and its form appeared, flickering. The power of distortion and sword arts attack collided and a powerful explosion erupted out in midair, forming a violent whirlwind, blowing in all directions. Rumble! The intangible sword energy produced by Bastille attack twisted and exploded under the power of distortion. It turned into innumerable numbers of small sword energies, which splashed out in all directions, leaving slight cracks on the ground and the walls. At the same time, with the help of attacks momentum, Ross suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the front part of Bastilles Shark Cutter. Kch! Kch! Even though Bastille retracted the sword without any hesitation, his Shark Cutter was still struck by Rosss palm. In an instant, the entire front part of the sword completely distorted and was squeezed into a iron ball covered in irregular cracks. The middle part of the Shark Cutter was also greatly affected. Distortions and cracks appeared on the entire sword and edge of the sword, leaving only the third of its part at back still intact. Rear Admiral Bastilles Shark Cutter! That is the Paramecia Distortion Fruit ability in the intelligence? The numerous Marines in the surrounding saw that Bastilles weapon was almost completely destroyed by Ross and they revealed a look of surprise. Some Marine Captains had cold sweats on their foreheads. They didnt expect Ross to be even more powerful than the Rear Admiral Bastille. If Bastille lost to Ross, the following consequences would be unimaginable! Snipers! Aim at Ghost Hand Ross! The officers above Lieutenant Commander come with me to help Rear Admiral Bastille! Several Marine Captains of the T4 base looked at the situation and made a quick decision to support Bastille by joining forces with him so that they can suppress Ghost Hand Ross together. Bastille thought he was enough to suppress Ross, but he didnt expect Ross to be so powerful. Even he was helpless against him. The decision made by the Marine Captains in the distance was correct. Although he would lose face, he was still a Marine. For a Marine, they dont care for process and only care about the result. Chapter 24 Destroying the sword CHAPTER 25 WEST BLUE TREMBLED Previous ChapterNext Chapter In the distance, Capone Bege felt that it was not looking good as he directed his subordinates to clean up the mess while watching the fight between Bastille and Ross. Even a Rear Admiral of T4 base cant deal with Ghost Hand Ross? This group of Marines are too useless Especially when he looked at the Marine snipers trying to snipe Ross from far away, he couldnt help but bit the cigar in his mouth hard as his eyes became even more gloomy. Bang! Bang! Two gunshots sounded. Finding an opening, two snipers aimed at Ross and fired. And as expected, the instant the bullets touched Ross body, their direction got reversed. Seastone bullets are extremely hard to manufacture and extremely expensive, so it is naturally impossible for the Marines of West Blue to gather these bullets in large quantities. What! Damn! The bullet reversed their course and shot towards the two Marine Lieutenant Commanders who had attacked Ross. Holes appeared on their bodies, knocking them down directly. Dont shoot! Bullets are useless against this guy! Bastille saw the situation and hurriedly gave the order to the Marines. And at this time, Ross moved. Under the siege of more than ten marine officers, Ross had no hesitation or intention to stop as he threw a punch directly converting three steel swords into scrap iron balls, followed by two Lieutenant Colonel who flew backward with a bang sound, not knowing whether they are alive or dead. Bang! Bang! Rosss speed was too fast compared to those Lieutenant Commander and Commander, even if they could also use Soru. Compared to Ross, their speed was a lot worse. They couldnt resist Rosss attack and they all got beaten down with blood and broken bones flying out. Even Marine Captain who could react to his speed were helpless against him. The swords in their hands would turn into a scrap iron the moment they attacked and even their arms and bodies werent safe as they would be directly twisted into a dough twist if they were touched by Ross. Damn! Bastille cursed angrily. If Bastille, carrying the half-broken Shark Cutter, was not constantly attacking Ross, then the several Captains colonels would have long ago gotten defeated because their huge-crowd tactics did not have any effect on Ross. The power of Distortion Fruit can forcibly distort all the things touched by the users body. Although it is impossible for it to attack at a long range, in close combat, its powers are very similar to Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi). Unless someone hold a weapon made out of Seastone or have the strength that reached a level where they can use Armament Haki to resist the power of Distortion Fruit. Otherwise, they will be defeated and killed when they encounter it! Blood and broken bones splashed out in all directions. Ross stepped on the rubble and rotten meat and fought against Bastille and other Marines. His expression remained unchanged from beginning to end. He was still so calm. There was no frown on his face seeing the blood or bones around him. This calmness was palpitating and frightening to Marines. This guy Devil He is a Devil! The Several Marine Captains besieging Ross had fear spreading in their hearts. Crazy and lunatics guys are nothing new for these battle-hardened Marines, but someone like Ross who held the absolute indifference to life and death is the most terrifying person they have ever encountered. A calm madman is the most dangerous. Its time to withdraw. Not far away, when Capone Bege saw the situation, his heart sank gradually and he finally could not hold back and gave orders to his remaining subordinates to withdraw. Almost at the time he gave his orders and was about to take off with his men, several Marine Captains who were struggling to support Bastille in holding back Ross finally collapsed. Kch! After a few more hits, Ross finally turned Bastille shark blade into a scrape of iron and the weapon became completely useless. Bastille lost his weapon and couldnt attack Ross any longer. Several Marine Captains who were barely breathing were killed by Ross on the spot! Bastille looked at the broken bones and bodies of his subordinates before looking at Ross who was slowly walking towards him, he clenched his teeth and became angry and panicked. Rear Admiral Bastille ! Open fire! In the distance, many Marines panicked and opened fired on Ross, but all the shots fired towards Ross became useless, without exception, in front of his distortion power. Rosss right-hand clenched into a fist as he slammed it towards Bastille. Tekkai (Iron Body)! Bastille did not hesitate to show Marines Rokushikis Tekkai (Iron Body), trying to defend against Rosss attack but under Rosss fist, his defense which could withstand bullets was broken! His muscles which are comparable to the hardness of steel were distorted and his inside gave a kaccha sound under the influence of the power of distortion. Bang! Ross stepped on the defeated Bastille. Although he couldnt see his expression under the mask, he thought it would be a panic and fear. A Marine Rear Admirals head, I dont know if I can make some High-level Marines feel a little regret? No, maybe it will only make them angry. Ross suddenly smiled and put a little force into his feet. Like a rotten watermelon, the flesh and bones burst open in all directions. All the remaining Marines who tried to shoot and come forward to support Bastille stopped and looked at the hellish scene, their hearts stopped beating and their breathing stopped. Their bodies petrified, their muscles are stiff and their brain seems to be unable to think. Whether it is turning around and running away or fighting desperately, they could not decide on any action. This is the state where after suffering from deepest fear, their brain seemed to have stopped. But this is just the beginning. Ross slowly retracted his foot and his face returned to his usual calm expression. The fight was over and there was not a drop of blood on him and his clothes. Although his clothes were slightly damaged and tattered, they were still clean which is very different from the bloody hell around him. After killing Bastille, Rosss ear rang with a clear and familiar system sound. West BlueT4 branch base Marines and Rear Admiral Bastille have been completely defeated and the award obtained is, 80 Talent Proficiency points and 1 Free Talent Point. The reward is not low. Ross slightly smiled and turned his head and looked in Capone Beges direction who was trying to escape. Now, there is only one last thing left With one step, he had already crossed over dozens of meters and with another step he crossed the same distance. After continuing running for two streets in succession, Ross took one step and leaped in mid-air, lightly falling in front of Capone Bege, who was fleeing. Looking at the extremely ugly visage of Capone Bege, Rosss calmly said. Game Over. Two days later. The latest news, along with newspaper spread throughout West Blue. Ghost Hand Pirates, Captain Ghost Hand Ross, in the Kingdom of Smale, recklessly fought Capone Family criminal organization, and killed the criminal organizations godfather Capone Bege with utter disregard to order, causing great damage to the peace of the Kingdom of Smale. West BlueT4 branch base, base chief Bastille led Marine to attack the White Blade Pirate Group and in the process of killing White Blade pirate group they were ambushed by Ghost Hand Ross and were unfortunately killed, all accompanied soldiers and officials died. Ghost Hand Ross is a cruel and sinister monster. Marine Headquarters will send a Headquarter Rear Admiral to take care of Ghost Hand Ross! Other than that. Ghost Hand Rosss bounty has been upgraded by the Marine to 64 million Berries, surpassing the original West Blues highest bounty of Double Sword Dillo, Captain of the Double Sword Pirate group, making his bounty highest in the West Blue. The news spread fast and the West Blue trembled! CHAPTER 26 *HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter On the sea. The ship with a pirate flag was rapidly moving through the sea. In the top cabin of the ship, Ross was sweating as he was doing the most basic push-ups on the reinforced floor. On his shoulders, he is carrying two huge steel dumbbells; this weight was enough for him to exercise. Nine hundred and ninety-three, nine hundred and ninety-four Ross constantly lifts up his body and the muscles on his arms were completely taut. The torso that seemed to be no different from any average person had enough power to smash any pirate with the bounty of 50 million berries. Nine hundred ninety-nine, one thousand! The counting of numbers continues. When the number reached one thousand, Ross finally stopped. Putting the weights on his shoulders down to relieve the tension on his shoulders, he lied down on the floor to rest, breathing heavily. Sweat continually flows out of his body, soaking the floor. Thump! There was a knock on the door outside. Ross lay there, too lazy to get up and open the door, so he directly said in a lazy voice: Come in. Here is your Lemon tea. Robin walked in with a plate and there was a teacup on it. She saw Ross lying there without any care and smiled slightly at him before placing the plate on the table next to him. Ross rested for a few more seconds before he got up and took the cup from the table and drank it in on go. Where are we now? According to Captains calculation yesterday, we should have arrived near the Kano Country, Robin whispered. Although she was not very proficient in navigation, she has asked Ross to teach her and she has also learned quickly while on the sea, so right now she has learned more than enough to be a navigator of a regular ship. Naturally. Whether its Ross or Robin, their navigation techniques are not enough to sail the Grand Line, after all, the climate on the Grand Line is really weird and unpredictable. Ross doesnt want to waste any Talent Proficiency points on the Navigation talent, not to mention that he was often too lazy to measure the wind direction of sea maps himself. That will waste too much practice time. So no matter what, this ship still needs a professional-level navigator but this is West Blue, If it was the East Blue, Ross would not mind abducting the Loli version of Nami. Have we already arrived in Kano Country? Ross gradually calmed down the feeling of weakness and fatigue from his body while hearing Robins report and put the cup down: If the information is correct, we should be able to find Polar Bear pirates in Kano Country which has 45 million Berries bounty on them. Robin nodded: There should be no problem with the information, but this Kano Country is not a friendly country. I know. Ross smiled. Kano Country controls a huge official pirate force, the most powerful of which is the Happo Navy. The leader is Don Chinjao, who once sailed on the Grand Line, with the bounty of 500 million Berries and later has his head flattened by Garps fist damaging his strength greatly. Kano Countrys influence is strongest in the Grand Line, West Blues side only has some reserve force, except for maybe Leader Don Chinjao who is enjoying life here in retirement, but it is unlikely that we will encounter him. Captain seems to know Kano Country very well. Robin looked at Ross in surprise as she was going to report to Ross what she knew about Kano Country. Only know some things. Ross shrugged and said: In addition to the Polar Bear pirates, the keel and trunk materials of our new ship are also in the Kano Country and after acquiring them we can then go directly to Shipwright Town to find a shipwright to build us a new ship, otherwise we have to go far away to get the materials. Robin stood by and listened quietly, without interfering with Rosss decision. Ross is not the strongest person she has ever seen, but he is the calmest and confident person among the people she has ever seen. Yes, it is self-confidence. This kind of emotion is not something that he wears on his face but its a kind of emotion that is hidden in the depths of his eyes and only occasionally he reveals this emotion. Because she has been observing Ross keenly, she has captured this several times. This kind of self-confidence makes it difficult for her to describe it and some of it is incomprehensible. It is like an inexplicable calmness of the world. In addition to self-confidence. Rosss calmness and determination are what she has encountered so far and neither the leader of the Underground organization or the pirate leaders can compare to it. Even if his strength is enough to cross the West Blue unhindered, he still insists on doing a lot of exercise and practice every day, although many times he also loves to enjoy shoulder massage and the like Since Captain has already considered it, I will withdraw first. The thoughts on Robins mind were fleeting. She smiled at Ross and said. Ross nodded and she left the room. Hu! Seeing Robin close the door, Ross grabbed the towel and wiped the sweat remaining on his face and shoulders and planned to do another exercise. Talent System gifted talents, especially the Physical Enhancement and Agility Enhancement of the General Department, are based entirely on his own strength. Simply put. If his own strength is 100 pounds, after the Basic Level Strength Enhancement is done, it will be raised to 150 pounds. And if his own strength is 1000 pounds, then after the Basic Level Strength Enhancement it will be raised to 1,500 pounds instead of 1050 pounds! The General talents are not fixed upgrades. His current Physical Enhancement proficiency is at 100 points, bringing about three times his own self-based improvement and his training exercise will also bring about three times as much improvement as anyone else who does not have the gift of Physical Enhancement. In this sea. Most people, even if they try their best to practice, it will be difficult for them to reach the level of Garp and Whitebeard in their lifetime, even half of their level is hard to reach. For Ross, he only needs to exercise his body to a one-third level of Garp and under the blessing of Physical Enhancement, he will be directly promoted to Garp level! Although it is difficult to exercise to one-third of Garps level. Ross is not a mathematician and cant figure out anything precise, but he just needs to know that his training is more effective than others. Speaking of proficiency, I have not used the Proficiency Points I got from killing Bastille and the guy who had 34 million Berries bounty. Ross did not hesitate and called the Talent System out. It has been two months since he killed the Marine Rear Admiral Bastille. In the past two months, he only killed a pirate with 34 million Berries bounty but his accumulated money has already reached 90 million Berries. Thats why he came to Kano Country, he will chase the Captain of the Polar Bear pirate group who has the bounty of 45 million Berries and purchases the main material for a new ship. Talent System Interface. At the bottom, there are Rosss remaining Talent Proficiency and Free Talent Points, which are 1 point for Free Talent Points and 110 points for Talent Proficiency. CHAPTER 27 GEPPō MOONWALK CHAPTER 27 GEPP (MOONWALK) Previous ChapterNext Chapter Ross first glanced at the Battle Talent Department, then decided to switch the talent interface to the General Talent Department that has Physical Enhancement in it. He quickly swept his eyes over, and something unexpected caught his eyes on top of the Battle Departments Talents Tree, a branch that he didnt know when but it changed from non-active gray to activatable green. The name of the branch is Observation Haki! The activation conditions of the Observation Haki has been fulfilled, making Ross surprised, and he subconsciously looked towards the other two types of Haki as well. However, the branch that indicates Armament Haki was still gray which means that Rosss current body is still not up to the standard of practicing and utilizing the Armament Haki. It seems that Observation Haki can be activated but Armament Haki cant. Is it because I activated Kami-e (Paper Drawing) and I already had some rudimentary knowledge about Observation Haki? Ross revealed a thinking expression. Kami-e (Paper Drawing) in Marines Rokushiki also has high dodging rate but this ability is used to dodge fists and swords. But if someone wants to use Kami-e (Paper Drawing) to dodge rains of bullets, it will not be possible for even Admiral Kizaru with his Pika Pika no mi(Light-Light Fruit). It is only possible for someone proficient in Observation Haki. If it is because of Kami-e (Paper Drawing) that I reached the standard for activating the Observation Haki, then does that mean that if I put some proficiency point in Tekkai (Iron Body) I will be able to reach the standard for activating Armament Haki Ross looked at Tekkai (Iron Body) in Marines Rokushiki, hesitating. Ross has reached the standard for activating Tekkai (Iron Body) talent two months ago when he activated the Physical Enhancement of the General Talent Department and improved it, but he has not been willing to use his Free Talent Points to activate it because it is not really useful for him. He now has only 1 Free Talent Point but he has three options. First, activate Observation Haki. Second, Tekkai (Iron Body) of Marines Rokushiki to meet the criteria for activating Armament Haki. Third, Gepp (Moonwalk)! Its better to raise some Physical Enhancements first and see if there are any changes afterward. Ross hesitated for a moment before he made his choice. He finally decided to upgrade his physical strength first. Anyway, the benefits of improving physical strength is much more at present and it will not be wasted. Switching to the General Talent Interface, Ross put 50 proficiency points in Physical Enhancement and the Physical Enhancements Talent Proficiency increased from 100 to 150. Buzz!! Ross felt a heat flow within his body starting from his heart and pouring down to his lower body before spreading to his entire body. This whole process only took a few seconds. Ross looked at his arm, perceiving some changes in his body before muttering to himself: Without a large degree of promotion, the effect of 50 proficiency points is not very obvious He looked at the Battle Department Interface. He found that it was still the same as before. There were no special changes. Armament Haki was still gray color which means that it is inactive and Gepp (Moonwalk) in Marines Rokushiki is also gray. There are still 60 Talent Proficiency points left. Ross thought in his heart that with 60 Talent Proficiency points, the abilities of the Distortion Fruit will be greatly increased and his body will be able to fully withstand the fruit improved power, so overall his abilities and power will be greatly improved. On the other hand, the Physical Enhancement of the General Talent Department has reached 150 points in proficiency and with another 50 points he will be able to reach High-Level Physical Enhancement, and his physical strength will definitely skyrocket. In that case, without any doubt, Armament Haki and Gepp (Moonwalk) will enter an activatable state. Improving the Battle power or improving the survivability and flexibility. With my current strength, in the West Blue, unless I encounter Don Chinjao or any high-level characters from the Grand Line, it will be easy to suppress anyone else. But even if I promote my strength a few time it will be very difficult for me to fight against Don Chinjao, a monster that has a 500 million bounty on his head, so Ross analyzed and finally made a choice. He put 10 Talent Proficiency points on the Distortion Fruit and another 50 proficiency points on the Physical Enhancement again. Buzz!! The progress bar of Physical Enhancement advanced from 150 to the position of the High-Level Physical Enhancement threshold line, while below the characters High Level, there was a golden light flashing, changing from gray to gold color. At the same time, a massive amount of energy emerged from Rosss heart and spread toward his whole body, soaking every muscle, every cell in this rich energy. At this moment. Ross could even feel that every cell in his body transmitted eagerness. They were eager to absorb this strange energy. After what seems like a long time the strange power within Rosss body began to subside but every cell in his body still desire this energy and they desperately swallowed the fading power. Finally. The Energy in his body completely subsided, the cells throughout Ross entire body violently swayed for a while before gradually calming down. High-Level Physical Enhancement This time, the promotion is extremely obvious for Ross. Although it is less than doubled, his overall power has increased by at least 60% to 70%. If converted, High-Level Physical Enhancement should improve the original body by five times and the Mid-Level Physical Enhancement should improve the original body by three times. Coupled with the improvement brought about by his continuous practice over the past two months, he is now able to compete with Rear Admiral Bastille by only using his Physical strength. After adapting to the changes in his body. Ross took a breath and switched back to the Talent interface of the Battle department. This time, the talents of the Battle system has been completely renewed. Many talents that could not be activated before have all changed from gray to green. Marines Rokushiki all turned into emerald green, Observation Haki and Armament Haki also became green and even the Haoshoku Haki (Conquerors Haki) became green meaning now all of them could be activated. However, Ross turned his eyes and looked away. Compared to Haoshoku Haki (Conquerors Haki), he cared more about the immediate usability of the selected talent, he will choose these powers later in the future when he has more free Talent Points Armament Haki. Ross looked at the Armament Haki. It is impossible to say that he is not eager for this power for it is a type of power that will enhance his powers even further. But he eventually chose to activate Gepp (Moonwalk). Now that his strength is enough to run amuck in West Blue freely, Armament Haki is not something that is practical for him right now as even with this, he will not be able to deal with the monster, that is, Don Chinjao. But if he learns Gepp (Moonwalk), he will be able to cope with most of the situations on sea, land, and air, He can even encircle a Marine Battleship without fear with Gepp (Moonwalk) and can directly sink the Battleship! I have not hunted pirates above 50 million Berries Bounties, then the next goal is almost certain After the activation of Gepp (Moonwalk), Ross took a breath. When he gets the new ship, he will destroy the West Blue double sword pirates and get a Free Talent Point, then he will activate Armament Haki after which he will put the Grand Line on his agenda! CHAPTER 28 PIRATES HARBOR Previous ChapterNext Chapter Since he selected Gepp (Moonwalk), Ross naturally wants to try it. Although the abilities indicated in the Talent System are activated in two ways, directly implanting into his brain and body strengthening, Ross has if he doesnt try, then he would feel uncomfortable symptom. He pushed the door open. Ross arrived at guardrail in the cabins corridor and lightly put pressure under his feet and jumped up, before landing on the top of the cabin. Robin was sitting at a table in the direction of the deck and noticed Rosss movements. She turned her head and looked at him. When she saw that Ross has no new orders for her, she returned her gaze back. However. At this time, she saw that Ross suddenly leaped into the air almost reaching sentry posts position above the sail. Then, Ross did not stop there, nor jumped to the Sentry post position, instead, his feet tread in the air, as if stepping on solid air, he jumped once again. Leap! Leap! Leap! It seemed like Ross was stepping on an invisible staircase, climbing up into the sky. Although the distance of elevation is not very high after each step, after dozens of steps, he turned into a small black dot in the air. Is that Gepp (Moonwalk)? Robin looked at Ross, who was treading in the air without any support and couldnt help but be slightly startled. She knows that Ross can use Kami-e (Paper Drawing) and Soru in Marines Rokushiki but this is the first time she has seen him using Gepp (Moonwalk). She has never been clear about where Ross has learned Marines Rokushiki techniques. Although most of the Marines from the Marine Headquarters recruiting camp can perform few techniques of Marines Rokushiki, Gepp (Moonwalk) is still very rare because of the difficulty of learning which is much higher than Soru. In the air. Ross continued to use Gepp (Moonwalk) twenty times in a row and arrived thirty or forty meters from the boat in the sky, before feeling numbness in his legs and feet, so he stopped. Gepp (Moonwalk) is not a move that helps with walking in the air. Instead, it uses powerful force and extremely fast speed to fiercely strike and pressing the air, causing the air to become something that can be stepped on. Not only does it cost a lot of stamina, but it is also very difficult to control. On the ground, he can cover more than 10 meters in a single step but by using Gepp (Moonwalk) in the air, it is difficult for him to even cover a one-meter distance. If it was not for the Talent System ability to directly infuse all the process and experience directly into his brain and strengthening the body, then he may not even be able to do this much. A short stay in the air nearly 50 meters from the sea, Ross is overlooking the sea below him, feeling the sea breeze blowing in his face, revealing a smile. That is Kano Country? At the height of almost 50 meters, looking out into the distance, Ross could vaguely see something in the shape of a small island at the far end of the horizon. Since it can already be seen, it means that the distance is not very far. After taking a look, Ross took his gaze back and crashed towards the boat below, eventually falling back on top of the cabin. However, because he didnt control his strength and point of descent, he broke the top of the cabin and almost got stuck in it. Ross slightly tilted up the corners of his mouth and glanced to the left, and happen to see Robin looking at him in surprise from not far away. However, Robin just looked for a moment before she took back her gaze and continued to read her book with a calm expression as if she didnt see anything. Ross came down from the top of the cabin, commanded the handyman on the ship to repair the cabin and came to the deck. After two breaths, he again used Gepp (Moonwalk). Gepp (Moonwalk) is a very good training method to temper his body for the current him. Carrying a heavy load or what not, with his current physique is already very average. If the weight is too heavy, his boat will not be able to bear, and if it is too light, it will not be effective. But Gepp (Moonwalk), which does not require any heavy load, is still very stamina consuming exercises and it would be better to train it. When the numerous handymen saw that Ross was able to go towards the sky, they were even more awed by Ross. They did not dare to be lazy, and quickly hammered the ship to repair the cabin. Kano Country. This is a country of pirates. Because the king is qualified to participate in the World Council, Marines rarely comes to visit the country, resulting in a large number of pirates frequently gathering in the country. However, the pirate gathered here at most will have a small skirmish between them and would not dare to disturb the order of Kano Country. Chinjao the Drill of Happy Navy with the bounty of 500 million berries is not someone one can mess around with, he was once a powerful existence within the Grand Line, even with his head becoming flat due to Garps fist and losing his drill he is still someone to be feared. And its not just Don Chinjao, there are many pirates in this country and the Happo Navy which has once sailed on the Grand Line has over thousand pirates. These pirates are not as strong as Don Chinjao but they are still to be feared as the core members of this pirate group had trained in Hasshoken which is a technique by which they can manipulate vibration. All of them are pirates that were known in the Grand Line and not something that West Blue pirates can defeat. Ross Pirate Ship is getting closer to the harbor of Kano Country. Sure enough it is a country of pirates, so many Pirate Ships, so blatantly anchored at the harbor. Looking at the port of Kano Country, where a large number of pirate ships with pirate flags hanging onto them were anchored, Robin looked calm on the outside but she is still a little surprised. Ross stood next to her and looked at the harbor in the distance and smiled. Maybe its rare in West Blue, but on the Grand Line, such countries are everywhere. Has Captain ever been to the Grand Line? Robin was slightly surprised as she turned to look at Ross. She could keenly sense Ross tone. This level of understanding of the Grand Line was as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Ross touched his chin and said, You can say that. As his boat slowly moves towards the dock of the harbor, it caused stir on the dock. The Ghost Hand Pirates are famous in West Blue sea. The pirates on lot of pirate ships, as well as the workers on the dock, looked at the pirate ship that was coming in, and they all looked shocked. Its the Ghost Hand Pirates! I heard that Ghost Hand Ross had killed a Marine Rear Admiral and his bounty got higher, he now has 64 million Berries Bounty on his head, which is 5 million more than the double sword pirate group! A lot of pirates whispered as they looked at the Ghost Hand Pirates ship. What the World Government has published in the newspaper, that Ghost Hand Ross ambushed the Marines that were in the process of pursuing another pirate group, was for the purpose of deceiving ordinary people, which pirate would be so idle to voluntarily attack Marines?! There is no doubt that Marines must have taken the initiative to pursue Ross. However, Ross strength was beyond their expectations, and even a Marine Rear Admiral couldt deal with him and got killed on the spot! The increase of bounty to 64 million Berries is not something casually done. Naturally. There are many people who are not afraid of the Ghost Hand Pirates entering the dock. A guy with a plain face was looking at them, he was a sailor to others but in the dark, he is one of the official members of the Happo Navy of the Kano Country. Ghost hand pirates A heavyweight guy came today. The people of the Happo Navy watched the Ghost Hand Pirates enter the harbor, chatting and laughing with each other with cigarettes and wine, without worrying about any trouble. Even if pirates came from the Grand Line with bounty as high as 80 million or even hundreds of millions of berries. They would not dare to cause any trouble in the Kano Country, saying nothing of the Ghost Hand Pirates who have never been to the Grand Line. To provoke the Happo Navy pirates, it will be useless for the troublemaker to even hide on the Grand Line as they would be found and killed! CHAPTER 29 TREASURE TREE ADAM Previous ChapterNext Chapter You guys stay here and guard the ship. When the ship docked at the harbors terminal, Ross gave an order to the handymen and took Robin to the shore. Several handymen did not show any puzzled expression. Although they have some strength, the Ghost Hand Pirate flag hung on the sail represents strength and there are not many guys who would dare to come here and make trouble with them. Ross glanced at the many eyes that looked at him and calmly took Robin out of the harbor and headed deeper inside Kano Country. Although Kano Country is a country of pirates, it is different from Hancocks Amazon Lily Island. It is not a country that makes a living by looting others. This country is one of the largest lumber trading sites in West Blue. Entering the Kano Country, he can see all kinds of handyman sweating while carrying wooden logs of different colors and gasping for breath as they passed through the streets. Where is the ship wood trading center? Ross casually found a short-clothed handyman, took out a silver coin from his pocket and flexed his finger and the silver coin made a crisp sound, flipped a few times in the air and fell back into his hand. The handyman saw the gun and sword hanging at Rosss waist and was a little bit afraid, but when he saw the silver coin in Ross hands, his eyes immediately lit up and he said: The ship wood trading center is on the South Bank and here is the wood trading center for house use. Ding! Ross thumb flicked and the silver coin flew again, falling into the hands of the handyman, then he took Robin and turned towards the south bank. Walking on the streets of Kano Country, although he cant say that pirates can be seen everywhere, there are quite a few people carrying guns and swords, but most of them were calm and poised. Even if any fight appears in the street, they will be quickly stopped by the Kano Countrys guards and brought to the open area for them to freely resolve it. Kano Country does not prevent a foreign pirate from killing, but they are not allowed to fight in places where there are residents. It is necessary for them to fight in an open place and they will collect the corpse for free. To build influence, a force maintaining order is necessary. Robin walked down the street and looked at the scenery with a thoughtful expression. Kano Country is the area where lumber trades occur. Naturally, there will be a lot of pirates who come here to buy wood for their ships. It is impossible for the general guards to defeat pirates on their own, but forming a huge official pirate force of their own is different. It seems like this should be the case, and it is this worlds flaw. The government and Marine dont take any action on this place and ignore it. Ross ridiculed. Pirates are cancer, World Government and Marine are also cancers. They only maintain order, and not justice while justice and order are very different. Along the way, there werent any pirates who dared to provoke Ross and Robin. The identity of Devil Child Robin, although recognized by many pirates, but once they see Ross walking in front of Robin, these pirates shrunk their neck. In the recent rumors wherever Ghost Hand Ross went, then no matter if one is a pirate or Marine, all of them are killed without mercy. He is one of the most dangerous existence of West Blue. Soon Ross and Robin arrived at the South Bank. The scenery here was completely different from the West Bank. A large amount of wood piled up everywhere, many of them were extremely large. It is not something that ordinary people can move. More than a dozen people are needed to move even one of them. People are transporting wood for ships and they are all under a giant wheel cart and trolleys and a group of people are pushing them towards the beach. Its Ghost Hand Ross! Some people recognized Ross and many pirates were shocked on seeing them. They hid on the side as no one wants to be killed by this Pirate/Marine killing machine. Many Pirates escaped, but someone still took the initiative to come up to him. It was an old man with a hunchback, he is one of the people selling boats here. Do you require wood for ships? We have the best types of wood for making keels and masts and we have many types here. Take me there to have a look. Ross didnt know much about ships, but he learned more about it from Robin. So now he has the basic idea about ships and he could talk to the old man with a hunchback. The old man with a hunchback led Ross, pointing in front towards a few huge pieces of wood, saying: That is red oak, there to the side is iron thorn wood, and then there is iron sandalwood To built speed-based ship, what type of wood is best? Ross looked at a few huge pieces of wood and asked showing neither approval or disapproval. The hunchback old man heard the question and said without thinking: If you are in need of speed, Iron pear wood is naturally the best to make the keel. The mast can be of iron sandalwood, enough to withstand huge wind. Ross thought a little and looked at Robin next to him and continued to ask: What kind of wood is needed for a ship of about forty meters. Forty meters? The old man with hunchback laughed and said: Thats really good. I just acquired a few matching goods. The price is very cheap. Together with the mast, nine million Berries will do, would you like to take a look? Nine million Berries? Ross took a moment and stopped. The hunchback old man is embarrassed: This price is already very cheap No, it doesnt feel too expensive but its too cheap. Ross interrupted the hunchback old man, put a hand on his chin and after a little thought, asked: Do you have Treasure Tree Adam wood here? Treasure Tree Adam should be the best wood in the whole World, the original Strawhat Luffys Thousand Sunny Go is made of Treasure Tree Adam wood as the main material and its speed and toughness are almost impeccable. Puff! The hunchback old man is pondering what kind of wood is going to be recommended by Ross. When he heard Ross, he almost squirted the water he drank a moment ago: Treasure Tree Adam? Do you know how high the price of that wood is? I ask if you have it? Ross asked calmly. The hunchback old man scratched his head and hesitated. Finally, he said: I dont have it here, but there is a branch of Treasure Tree Adam wood, the length is about 41 meters. I heard that it will be auctioned in two days. But I can remind you that without a one or two hundred million Berries, you shouldnt even think of buying it The old man saw that Ross had completely lost interest in his woods. He couldnt help but mutter as he saw that Ross did not respond and then shook his head and walked away. Ross looked at Robin next to him and smiled: I didnt expect our luck to turn out so well, I could get the branch of Treasure Tree Adam. And the size is right, but the money may not be enough. Robin also heard of the name of Treasure Tree Adam and as an archaeologist, she knows that this type of wood is the very best this sea has to offer. Ross smiled and shook his head. The money will be enough. There are pirates here everywhere. Isnt there another two days? Lets go and find the Polar Bear Pirates first. CHAPTER 30 POLAR BEAR PIRATES Previous ChapterNext Chapter MarineT4 branch base. Since Bastille was killed by Ross in the Kingdom of Smale, the Rear Admiral post has been vacant and the last remaining Captain has temporarily taken the post one month ago. A month ago, a Battleship dispatched by Marine Headquarters arrived at the T4 branch base and took over the affairs of the T4 branch base. The highest officer was Rear Admiral from the Marine HeadquartersOnigumo! Headquarters Rear Admiral will usually become Vice-Admiral of any branch they are placed, but Onigumos mission is to take full responsibility for Ghost Hand Ross and exterminate him, so its just a mission for him and not a demotion. Base Office. Onigumo is sitting behind the desk and reviewing the documents. For him who is a Headquarters Rear Admiral, its easy to handle a branch base. And just as he read a document and prepared to sign it, the Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang. Onigumo connects the telephone. This is the T4 branch base. Reporting to Onigumo Rear Admiral, the scout of our division has found the traces of Ghost Hand Ross in Kano Country, how do you want to deal with it?! Um? Upon hearing the discovery of Ghost Hand Ross, Onigumos expression suddenly became serious. He looked at the sea map on the table and found Kano Country. Kano Country is at least three days away from the T4 branch base. There was a branch base which is only a day away from the Kano Country but even if he deploys all of the marines in that base it will obviously not going to be enough to deal with Ghost Hand Rose. There is no way to assemble a strong force in such a short time and Kano Country is also a very troublesome place. Onigumo hesitated for a while before ordering that they will not be taking any action rashly and they will temporarily observe Ghost Hand Ross, after that he hangs the Den Den Mushi while thinking of a solution. Soon, his eyes flashed, it seemed that he had thought of something. Kano Country. Here is the entertainment industry of Kano Country. Many well-dressed people are coming and going and there is also a group of pirates passing by. On the top floor of a three-floor bar, it seems to be much more harmonious than the chaotic scene at the bottom. There are many women in the center who were exposed to the waist and swaying, and many people in the outer ring on the left and right side were drinking. Suddenly. The door on the third floor was pushed open and a young man with a leather cap followed by a girl with a black shawl came in. Due to the loud commotion everywhere in the hall, Ross and Robin walked in and did not attract any attention. After a single glance at the hall, Ross sat down in a seat not far from the door and casually examined the scene in the hall. One, Two, Three Robin stood next to Ross, staring calmly at the scene in the hall and quickly leaned over to Rosss ear and whispered: Almost all of them are here. Ok. Ross nodded and regained his gaze but he was not in any hurry to get started. Instead, he took a glass of champagne from the waiter and took a sip. Robin stood quietly waiting, not urging and disturbing, she always knew what she should do. Ross took a couple of sips from the champagne and put the cup on the table next to him. When he was about to stand up, a drunk man suddenly leaned over and swept his eyes on Robin, Smiled: Kid, your female companion looks pretty good, how about letting me borrow her to play? Compared with the women in the hall, most of the women here are no older than 14 or 15, undoubtedly 17-year-old Robin looks quite mature and beautiful compared to them. Robin heard such rude words but she did not show any expression on her face and continue to stand calmly behind Ross, but her eyes revealed a slight contempt in them. Go away. Ross sat there and spit out a word without lifting his head. What? The drunk pirate stared at him and took a moment to understand Ross words before slowly grinning and lowering his body trying to see Ross face and said: I havent heard such bold words in a long time, I am a member of Polar Bear Pirates, you kid When he spoke, his head was already low and the position of Ross sitting there was close to his head and he saw Ross face clearly. His voice gradually became weak and eventually stopped. Oh, it turned out to be the Polar Bear Pirates. Ross lowered hat was raised a little, his eyes calmly looking at the pirate in front of him and he said his abrupt words. Youyouyou are The pirate who was completely drunk saw Ross face and he was instantly half awake. As a member of the Polar Bear pirates, he had seen the bounty of the Ghost Hand Ross and he also knows that the bounty placed on his head is ranked first in the entire West Blue. His eyes were full of fear, his legs could not help but become a little soft and he wanted to turn his head to inform his own Captain, but his body was stiff and unable to move. I am planning to talk to you about your Captain. Ross slowly stood up and pulled out a gun from his waist before pointing the gun at the pirates head under his scared gaze. Bang! A gun firing sound resounded. The entire hall was quiet for a moment, then chaos emerged. The Captain of Polar Bear pirates, after hearing the gun sound turned to look at the direction of the sound, just to see one of his crew members fell back to the ground and he also saw the face of Ross who was standing up. You are He glanced a little and lightly narrowed his eyes. On the street outside. The gun sound suddenly came from the third floor of the bar and the people nearby were shocked. Many people looked up to the third floor of the bar after the gunfire sound and soon saw a large group of people fleeing from it. Gunfire?! What happened? Which pirate is making trouble here?! Just as many people were amazed and confused, when the patrols in the distance heard the sound of gunfire coming from the third floor of the bar and in that moment a figure flew out from above. Bang! The figure on the street is not a human figure but a monster Bear in a human form. The claws all strangely twisted and his face still has a terrified expression on it. Suddenly, the people on the street were shocked and they all ran away to the sides of the street making space, and their gazes turned astonished as they recognized the figure. That isCaptain of Polar Bear pirates! 45 million berries bounty pirate? How could he be in such a horrible condition?! Some passers-by recognized the half-man and half bear-like existence and could not help but suck in cold air and some looked at the top of the bar with horror in their eyes. Who can make the pirate with a bounty of 45 million Berries so miserable? ! Whiz! Just as they were horrified, a figure jumped from the top of the bar and walked directly to the captain of the Polar Bear pirate group who was trying to get up. ! Captain of the Polar Bear pirate group coughed up blood and could no longer maintain his form. The white hair on his body quickly subsided and he turned into a middle-aged pirate wearing a jacket. Damn You bastard! The middle-aged pirate, who has changed into his human form showed a crazed and fearful expression on his face. He did not ask for mercy. Instead, he struggled to pull out the handgun from his waist and shoot at Ross. Ross eyes were calm and he fiercely stamped his feet. Kch! Kch! The chest of the middle-aged pirate caved in and a large amount of blood spewed out from his mouth and the hand holding the guns finally fell to the ground. The many passers-by next to him, who had not yet been awoken from the shock of seeing the Captain of the Polar Bear pirates, saw the indifferent figure stepping on the body of Captain Polar Bear and could not help but swallow their saliva. That person seems to be Ghost Hand Ross! Captain of the Polar Bear Pirates who had the bounty of 45 million Berries and has a Zoan devil fruit power that turned him into a bear lost so miserably to Ross and it seemed like Ross did not put any effort in defeating him. The pedestrians around, whether it is the nobles of Kano Country or some pirates who were enjoying life and drinking, cant help but retreat upon seeing this scene. CHAPTER 31 ROBBING PIRATES Previous ChapterNext Chapter Out of the way, out of the way! What happened here? The patrol guard of Kano Country quickly arrived to the street and after seeing the body lying at the center of the street and the youth wearing the leather cap, their faces changed. Ghost Hand Ross! The body on the ground was a little non-human, but after careful examination, they also recognized that it was the body of the captain of the Polar Bear pirates. Did Ghost Hand Ross fought with the Polar Bear pirates here? The patrol captain was a little nervous. This level of a pirate is not something he can handle. If there is a civilian or a nobleman who is injured because of this fight then it will be very troublesome. Fortunately, after asking some questions from the surrounding people, he found that no aristocrats and civilians were injured and the patrol captain was relieved. Although there are rules in the entertainment street that prohibits fighting and killing here, such rules are only to restrict ordinary pirates and protect the civilians and nobles of Kano Country. By the time the chaos in the entertainment street subsided, Ross and Robin had already left and as Ghost Hand Ross said nothing, the killing of the Captain of the Polar Bear pirates became a hot topic of discussion on the same day. Killing the captain of Polar Bear pirate group, Ross got 15 points of Talent Proficiency, he didnt intend to keep it and directly assigned them to the Distortion Fruit. After adding 15 points of Talent Proficiency, the total proficiency of Distortion Fruit has reached 190 points and the range of its effect has become much larger. For Ross current physical strength, he can fully bear the increase in power of Distortion Fruit. But he may not be able to use it flexibly when it reached around 230 or 240 points. The wealth of the Polar Bear pirates is quite a lot, more than 30 million Berries. After destroying the Polar Bear pirates, Ross took over all of the Polar Bear pirate groups wealth and searched their Pirate Ship, which together had more than 30 million Berries. Robin looked at the box of money piled up in front and said: It should be that all the treasures that Polar Bear pirate group looted during this time have just been disposed of in Kano Country. Ross nodded. There are no such things as gold and silver jewels in there, all of them are Berries, so he can save his time. Now we have more than 100 million Berries, but if you want to buy the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam, I am afraid it will not be enough. Robin understands the worth of the Treasure Tree Adam. Ross threw the money-filled box into the cabin. So, we will have enough. He does not bother to do things like looting civilians, but robbing pirates is a different matter. If he lacks money, he will rob another pirate. Just in a day and a half. Ross broke the rules of killing in Kano country and started slaughtering all the pirates in Kano country. A total of six large pirate groups were killed by his hands and small pirate groups defeated were countless. At first, Ross didnt plan to behave recklessly and begin a slaughter. The result was that he didnt expect that after he killed three pirate groups, a large number of smaller pirate groups will collude together to form a giant single group and secretly spreading the rumor that he wanted to kill all the pirates. Uniting every single one of them against him. Naturally, there is no need to mention more about what happened to them. The pirate groups assembled has two pirates that had 30 million bounties on their head, but for Ross and Robin who make their mission to kill these pirates, there was nothing the pirates could do. When Ross started to kill them and successively sank two Pirate Ships, the color of the sea on the shore became blood red and the temporary alliance of the pirates collapsed completely. This incident has undoubtedly alerted the official forces of Kano Country, but Kano Country allowed the situation to develop and did not intervene. After slaughtering a large number of pirates, Ross also made up nearly 300 million Berries. Other than that. He also got 25 points of Talent Proficiency. For the allocation of the 25-point Talent Proficiency, Ross did not hesitate and directly put the 25 proficiency points into the Distortion Fruit and by doing that the total proficiency of the Distortion Fruit became 215 points. If the physical strength is strong enough, the ability to improve Distortion Fruit is undoubtedly the most profitable. The 25 proficiency points have enhanced the ability of his Distortion Fruit. Currently, he is standing in the cabin of his own ship. If the ability of Distortion Fruit is applied to the hull, the entire ship can be covered! In other words. If Ross is facing a Battleship now, as long as he can reach the Battleship by using Gepp (Moonwalk), he can use his fruits ability to instantly distort the whole Battleship! And at this level of power of distortion, the general artillery and even the large-caliber artillery on any Pirate Ship will not affect Ross and he will be able to block them easily. Unless it is heavy artillery, there is no threat to Ross. The power of Distortion Fruit and my physical strength have finally reached equilibrium again. Now I have to raise my Agility Enhancement as soon as possible. Feeling the power of distortion flowing within his body, Ross muttered. Now, even if he faced two or three people of Rear Admiral Bastilles level, they will not be his opponent. Even if they uses the Armament Haki, if their Haki cultivation is weak, they may not be able to block his present Distortion Power. But in terms of agility and speed, his current speed is only a little faster than Bastille. If he meets a speed-type opponent or who can use Observation Haki, he will easily fall into a troublesome situation. In the first place, he is a strength based fighter and not speed based. Nowadays, due to the rapid increase in his physical strength and fruits ability, his speed is somewhat unable to keep up with his progress and it becomes a weak point. Captain, the auction will start in an hour. Robin knocked on the door and walked into Rosss room, reminding Ross. The auction time and location of the Treasure Tree Adams branch, which have long been inquired by Robin, are the finale items placed on the auction by the Kano Countrys officials. Lets go. Ross turned around and saw that Robin was sprouting four hands and carrying four huge suitcases, he couldnt help but smile and took two suitcases from her hand. Captain is really considerate. Robin grinned, after being with him for so long, she was familiar with Rosss personality and occasionally showed some playful behavior. No, its just that the four arms are too eye-catching. Ross grinned and walked by Robin. Robins mouth slightly curled into a smile, the extra two arms turned into petals and disappeared before she put on a hat and followed Ross on the shore and walked toward the treasure wood auction site. CHAPTER 32 AUCTION Previous ChapterNext Chapter Kano Country receives some valuable wood every year. These woods are very expensive and often difficult to sell, so they are generally put together in large auctions for trade. The auction site was located in the open-air timber area on the south bank of Kano Country. When Ross and Robin arrived, there were already a large number of people gathered there, who were mostly merchants from all over the world, with some pirates mixed in. There are a large number of various types of woods on the site, the most conspicuous of which is undoubtedly a giant wood of about forty meters long. It is the branch of Treasure Tree Adam, which is regarded as best in hardness or flexibility and its toughness is above that of steel! The branch of the Treasure Tree Adam, it shouldnt be the one that was used to build the Thousand Sunny Go in the original work. Looking at the branch of the most conspicuous Treasure Tree Adam from far away, his eyes flashed with suspicion, but he shook his head. How can it be so coincidental, not to mention that its the 11th year of Great Age of Pirates. After Ross retracted his gaze, he found a place on the periphery and sat down. Soon. The timber trade began and the auctioneer in a suit walked onto the stage, first introducing a five- or six-meter-long crimson wooden stake. It was the trunk of crimson oak. Whether it is used to make tables or chairs or sofas, it is very luxurious. Ross is not interested in this. He calmly listened as some nobles shouted, bidding for it. Five million Berries once five million Berries twice Deal! The man in charge of the auction delightedly dropped the hammer and began to introduce the second rare wood. In the blink of an eye, two hours passed and occasionally there were some rare types of wood for ships but no matter the size or quality it was not as good as the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam. Ross just looked at a few of them before looking away. Biddings for treasure wood of ships were comparatively fewer than furniture wood, as most nobles were not interested in wood for ships. Finally, One by one the all kinds of woods in the auction site were traded away and it was the turn of the last item. The wood was dark red and exudes an ancient aura. Finally its the turn of todays best item. The man in charge has already been speaking continuously for a few hours and he was a little tired, but at this time he forcefully cheers himself up and waved his finger to the last piece of wood. There is an island that has experienced countless wars. Although the island was hit by a hail of bullets, and the residents of that island died and the city also changed into ruins, a big tree survived and stood tall. There are only a few such trees in the world and the most powerful of them is called Treasure Tree Adam! Its right! Its the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam The starting price 100 million Berries! As the suit-wearing man screamed out the word 100 billion Berries, the auction site was quiet and only some sounds of discussion could be heard and no one immediately bid. The man in the suit was a little anxious and worried that the branch of Treasure Tree Adam would not be sold but finally, someone bid. 100 million Berries. It was a businessman sitting in the front row and he only called the base price. 110 million. Some people started to bid and all of them were businessmen. They all thought that if the branch of this Treasure Tree Adam were sold in the right hands, they will be able to easily earn more than 100 million Berries. Several merchants started to bid on the Branch and slowly the price of Treasure Tree Adams branch reached 150 million Berries. This price has already caused many businessmen to retreat. The price is too high for them and the risk of reselling is too great. In the event of any mistakes, they will not be able to earn much. 200 million. Ross finally bid. Suddenly raising the price from 150 million Berries to 200 million Berries, the nobles, and businessmen present were a little shocked, the price of 200 million Berries, for them is already somewhat unbearable. At the same time, some pirates who wanted the Treasure Tree Adam branch but didnt have the money and planned to snatch it halfway also looked in the direction of the voice as they wanted to see the person who called this price. Is that person Ghost Hand Ross! When some pirates eyes fell on Ross, they were shocked. Many pirates looked at each other and saw the fear in the others eyes. No matter which merchant and noble bought the branch of this Treasure Tree Adam, they all planned to let them go halfway before robbing it, but if Ross is the one who bought it, then the best ship wood is as good as gone for them. Robbing Ross? What a joke! The water on the shore of West Blue is still bright red now! Maybe some of them would dare to steal from Ross but it is definitely not going to be them. In addition to pirates, those businessmen and nobles did not directly recognize Ross, but when they heard the people around them, they quickly reacted and looked different. The guy is a pirate, Ghost Hand Ross. Can a pirate even come up with so much money? The price of 200 million Berries itself is already a bit high and the bounty price on Ghost Hand Ross is also very high considering that he is one of the most dangerous pirates in the West Blue, they obviously have a lot to think about. Ghost Hand Ross. The expression on the face of the man in charge changed greatly. There are a lot of pirates here, he knows that but he didnt expect a pirate to bid in the auction and he bid 200 million berries to buy the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam. There are too many unstable factors in this situation. However, he also thought that The Happo Navy Of the Kano Country is in charge of the auction site and is fully responsible for it and he was relieved. In addition to the merchants, nobles, and pirates, there are still some people that have been stealthily staring at Ross from the beginning. When they saw Ross bidding for the branch of Treasure Tree Adam, these people all showed different expressions on their faces and quietly retreated behind the crowd and disappeared. One secondtwo seconds Except for some muffled discussions, the auction site remained quiet, no matter whether it was a businessman or a nobleman, no one bids again. 200 million Berries, deal! The man in charge shouted a few times, seeing that no one dared to compete with Ross and finally took a deep breath before closing the deal. At the same time as the hammer fell, the man responsible for the auction site immediately came to Ross to talk with Ross and invited him: Sir, please come here for the delivery. Good. Ross calmly stood up and followed. The people responsible for the order of auction site were wearing Kano Countrys Happo navy special uniform. Facing Ross, they are very serious and vigilant. All of them hold weapons. Obviously, the existence of Ross West Blue is very high and they do not dare to let their guard down. 200 million Berries, check it out. Under Rosss signal, Robin opened the three boxes behind her and quickly took out 200 million Berries. The person in charge of the auction was slightly startled as he didnt expect Ross to actually pay the price of 200 million Berries, but when he recalled that Ross seemed to have killed a lot of pirates these days, it was not a surprise that he has gotten so much money Since he is willing to pay, then everything is fine. The person in charge relaxed a lot and he smiled. He came forward and quickly counted the stacked Berries. I have counted, and there is no problem, the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam is yours. CHAPTER 33 CHASING Previous ChapterNext Chapter Harbour. Under a lot of peoples greedy gaze, after the huge Treasure Tree Adam branch was firmly tied, Ross reached out and pushed it into the water. 200 million berries Treasure Tree Adam branch, no matter who it was they were a bit jealous, but Ross slaughtering pirates a few days ago is still remembered by them and even if there are any thoughts about it, most of the pirate will wait and see before taking any action. He got the branch of Treasure Tree Adam. If he builds a powerful Pirate Ship, I am afraid that Marine will never be able to stop him again. Oh, I dont think Marines will let him easily make a Treasure Tree Adam ship. Maybe the army that encircled the island is already on the way. Many people looked at Ross ship from afar while discussing spiritedly. Ross did not pay attention to the gazes around him. After pushing the branch into the water, he let the handyman on the ship untie the rope, pull up the anchor and slowly leave the port. Go to the Shipwright town. On the east side of Kano Country, there is an island which is the famous Shipwright Town, one of the most famous places of West Blue where ships are built. This town doesnt have any Shipbuilders, only Shipbuilder apprentice. He already has the most important Keel of the new ship, while the rest of the materials are available in the Shipwright town, and buying those materials with the remaining 90 million Berries will be more than enough. On the deck. Ross looked at the distant scenery and said: When we have a new ship, we can finally step into the Grand Line. Grand Line Robin stood by his side and there was a glimmer of light in her sea-like eyes. For her, the only thing her heart longed for is to find the Poneglyph steles hidden all over the world and to understand the secrets of the Void Century. Poneglyph, from the information that she has secretly collected over the years, they are mostly in the Grand Line. Grand Line also known as the pirate grave is naturally very dangerous. From time to time, there will be news that some of the strongest pirates of the sea were thoroughly defeated in the Grand Line, but that is a place that she must go to achieve her dream. She silently glanced at the back of Ross. She didnt know why but she has a feeling that if she continues to follow Ross, she will be able to achieve her dream. As the ship traveled towards the Shipwright island, the Kano Country gradually became blurred in their field of vision and they gradually left the island far behind. Just as the Kano Countrys island gradually turned into a small black dot, from the direction of Kano Country, there was a blurry shadow of a ship following them. Robin quickly discovered the ship that was quickly catching up to them. Captain Ross, we seem to have been targeted. Oh? Marines? It seems to be the Happo Navy of the Kano Country. Robin and Ross came to the stern and looked at the ship that was catching up to them. Robins eyes flashed. As the ship approached, its shape became clearer and clearer. Although it was huge, it was not a Marines Battleship. Right. Ross looked at the pirate flag of the ship and did not reveal any emotion on his face. He said calmly: After all, it is the country of pirates. How could they let me take away the Treasure Tree Adam branch which is worth 200 million Berries so easily? Ross ship was a light sailing ship but because of the heavy Treasure Tree Adams branch, it greatly affected the ship speed. It was not long before it was caught up by Kano Countrys Pirate Ship. On the Pirate Ship of the Kano Country, there were a lot of pirates holding weapons. Perhaps the other pirates were scared of the slaughter done by Ross and they would not dare to ask for any trouble but these pirates were different as their boss has been on the Grand Line! For them, any West Blues pirate is like a normal person without any powers. Sure enough, I cant run fast with a heavy piece of wood tied to my ship. The younger brother Boo with three axes on his back and the Vice Leader of the Happo Navy, Sai was standing on the deck, as they grinned while looking at the distant Ghost Hand Pirate Ship. The Vice Leader Sai took out a small long-handled blade(Bisento) and stood in front of Boo. His expression looked cold and serious. Leader Don Chinjao is not here, so he is in charge of the ship. Today is the 11th year of the Great Age of Pirates, Sai has not taken over the position of the Happo Navy and Boo is just an ordinary cadre but both have followed Leader Don Chinjao on the Grand Line. Reporting! The enemy ship has entered the firing range. As the two ships got closer, a member of the Happo Navy came forward to report. Do not fire. Sai shook his head and said: We dont want to break the piece of wood, its something worth 200 million Berries. Boo yelled at his brother: The Treasure Tree Adam branch should not be that easy to break but forget it, they wont be able to run away even if we do not fire. The distance between the two ships was getting closer. The two sides do not need to use a telescope as they can see the people on both sides of the ship. On the bow of the ship is the 13th generation members of the Happo Navy, Sai, and Boo, but I did not find Leader Don Chinjao among them. Robin scouted as she reported to Ross. Ross nodded. Leader Don Chinjao who has the bounty of 500 million berries is not someone he can deal with now. If Don Chinjao is on the ship, he can only find a way to destroy the Happo Navy ship and flee. If Don Chinjao is not here Ross eyes flashed with a cold light. He looked at the ship of the Happo Navy in the distance and judged the distance between the two ships. His tone was calm while giving orders. Keep the distance, I will come back when I am done. By the time Ross voice echoed in Robins ear, he had already arrived in the air, lifting his foot in the air and taking two steps. He crossed the sea directly and landed on the Happo Navy ship. Under the astonished gazes of the pirates of the Happo Navy, Ross fell on their deck and landed smoothly. What. Gepp (Moonwalk)? Boo and Sai turned their heads and looked at Ross. They showed a little surprise on their faces. Following Don Chinjao to the Grand Line, their knowledge was not too light. They are still able to recognize Gepp (Moonwalk). Gepp (Moonwalk) is a very difficult ability in Marines Rokushiki. Even in Marine, only the Captains and above can use Gepp (Moonwalk), and Ross using Gepp (Moonwalk) left them a little surprised. But. Even if he can use Gepp (Moonwalk), its too arrogant of him to come to their ship alone. Although Ross is known in the West Blue as one of the most dangerous pirates, it is limited to West Blue and it is nothing to them who have been to the Grand Line. West Blues most dangerous pirate, your courage is really not small. Let me see how much skill you have to back that courage. Boo took down an axe from his back and indicated to the numerous ordinary pirates to draw back before he grinned and rushed towards Ross. Sai originally planned to do it himself but he saw that Boo had already gone up and he didnt plan on stopping him. He folded his hands on his chest and stood in the same place. However. Just as Boo was about to reach Ross, Ross suddenly stepped on his feet and a strange force fell directly on the ships board. Kch! Kch! The power of the Distortion Fruit was centered on the area where Ross put his foot before spreading rapidly in all directions and the entire ship strangely distorted in the middle. Damn it! This guy wants to break our ship! Boo was dumbfounded for a moment before he immediately become angry. He jumped up while roaring and charged towards Ross, the axe in his hand maliciously falling upon Ross. CHAPTER 34 DISTORTION VS HASSHOKEN Previous ChapterNext Chapter Facing Boos axe, Ross did not show any fear and his eyes were calm as he indifferently raised his left hand to directly greet the incoming axe. Seeing Ross dares to block his axe with his bare hands, Boo snorted in his heart and relentlessly increased his strength intending to chop Rosss hand in two. However. When the axe touched Ross hand, the imaginary scene of blood spilling and the arm being cut off did not appear. Instead, the entire axe got stuck in the air by a strange force. Ross spread out his fingers and he grasped the blade of the axe with one hand and the other hand turned over and twisted, the steel axe looked like a bamboo pole as it was being distorted into a spiral shape that continues to spread along the shaft of the axe. Not good! Boo was shocked and he did not hesitate to release his hand from the axe while his other hand clenched into a fist and he fiercely waved it down towards Ross. This punch seems to be ordinary but when it was thrown, it was wrapped in a strange force as if it contains a force that is irresistible. It has appeared! Its Eight Punches Hasshoken of Sir Boo! Many of the Happo Navy troops in the distance holding swords and guns in their hands looked shocked seeing this scene. As an ordinary member of the Happo Navy, they were not qualified to practice Hasshoken. Hasshoken is a fighting style that only the core members of the Happo Navy can train. Not long ago, Boo used Hasshoken to kill a big pirate with a bounty of more than 40 million Berries! Faced with Boos Hasshoken, Ross expression did not change. He threw away the distorted axe before his five fingers clenched into a fist which was wrapped with distortion power and then he welcomed the incoming fist. Bang! The moment when Ross and Boos fists collided together, the vibration force and power of distortion produced a fierce sound and force with their fists being the center, just like a cannonball exploding in the air. Happo Navys cadres and Leaders practices Hasshoken punches which are essentially the manipulation of vibration force that can ignore the armor and other defenses. Ross power of distortion can also distort steel and ignore other defenses. However. The Hasshoken is a practiced technique whereas the power of distortion is derived from the distortion effect of a Devil Fruit. Together with the various reinforcement of the Talent System, Ross power of distortion is still far stronger than Boos Hasshoken! Bang! The force of vibration and the force of distortion in the air was frozen for less than a second before the vibration force is forcibly defeated by Rosss force of distortion. And the force of distortion continues towards Boos fist all the way up, and with various cracking sounds, his arm was completely distorted. Ahhhh! Boo screamed, his eyes showing pain and horror. He didnt expect that his Hasshoken has not only failed to ignore Ross defense but instead, he was defeated by Ross power! Many members of the Happo Navy looked at this scene and they all revealed incredulous looks. How is it possible.Sir Boos Hasshoken was actually defeated in close combat? What did that guy do? Boo! When Sai, who was holding a halberd in the distance saw this scene, his face changed. He thought that Boo might not be Ross opponent, but he didnt expect Boo to lose this quickly. The two moves made by Ross decided the entire fight and also took one arm of Boo. Such vicious means. Sai glanced at Boos injury with traces of anger in his eyes, and then coldly looked at Ross before he walked towards him with his halberd. Dont. Ross says in a plain tone: It should be said that if you dare to rob me of something, you must be prepared to pay the price. He stepped on his feet and the hull began to collapse again. Sai muttered and ignored the destruction to the ship. Instead, he said with a blank face: Thats right, its true that Boos skills are inferior to yours and Strong preys on weak as it is the law of jungle and it is also the way of the world However, to make my subordinates look like this, as the 13th generation head of the Happo Navy, no matter what the enemy must pay the price! At the moment when his voice fell, he fiercely jumped forward and the halberd in his hand swung towards Ross. Thats right, everyone is prey to the strong. Ross calmly said as he avoided the halberd by using Kami-e, while his fingers clenched into a fist and he punched towards Sai. Sai snorted while holding the halberd with both hands and placing the halberd in front of him, blocking Ross fist. Bang! Ross fist fell, and the power of distortion suddenly broke out, but Sai roared and shook both of his arms holding the Halberd hard. He had resisted most of the force of distortion and the Halberd showed only a slight distortion on it. Its blocked! That weird attack! The People of the Happo Navy in the distance saw this scene with awe. Compared with Boo, the older brother Sai is much stronger. Not long ago, he even defeated a big pirate with a bounty of 100 million berries on the Grand Line! On the deck. Perceiving a strange power on the Halberd that blocked his power of distortion, Ross slowly spits out a word with a glimmer in his eyes. Armament Haki . For a trivial pirate to recognize Haki in West Blue sea, you are really knowledgeable. Sai smirked and fiercely revolved the halberd while tightly gripping it with both hands before chopping down towards Ross, again and again, launching storm like attacks. So what if you have Devil Fruit ability? It doesnt work in front of me! Really? After a little surprise, Ross expression returned to a calm look. Armament Hakis ability can certainly withstand any Devil Fruits ability, but Armament Haki is also divided into ranks. Sai in front of him can only surround himself with Haki and he cant do the hardening part. Wanting to ignore his Distortion Fruit abilities with only this level of skill is a big joke. Between the devils fruit and Haki, which is strong and which is weak has never reached a conclusion. The weak fruit ability cannot overcome Haki but a weak Haki cannot resist an extremely strong devils fruit ability! In the face of Sais storm-like offensive, Ross did not use Kami-e (Paper Drawing) to dodge the attacks but he clenched his fingers into a fist, the power of distortion gathered on the fist. Distortion Impact! He hit Sais halberd attacks in the sky with one punch and the force of distortion burst out, crushing every attack in an instant. His punch hit the center of the halberds blade. Sai only felt that a powerful and strange force was fiercely rushing towards him along the blade. Even if he tried his best to push his Armament Haki to its limit, he still couldnt stop the blade from distorting and breaking! Bang! Eventually, the Halberd in his hand was completely shattered and his body flew upside down. The sleeves on his arms were turned into pieces and his fingers were slightly shaken as they suffered some damage. It turns out that this is your full strength? Then I really underestimated you. His face became a little gloomy and he tightly clenched his trembling fingers. In that case, Ill take this fight seriously now. Bujao.gen! Sai angrily roared as he fiercely rushed towards Ross. Instead of waving his fist, he leaped in the air, turning over one of his leg in mid-air, his heel surrounded by Armament Haki, brought along powerful force as it kicked down on Ross head. Without any fear, Ross used the power of distortion to its limit and without any reservation, rushed up towards Sai. Bang! The Power of distortion and The Armament Haki clashed with each other as a collision between feet and fist occurred and the air in surrounding started to crack similar to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) attack, and aftershocks spread out in all directions. Originally under Ross power of distortion, the ship was severely damaged. Taking the center of the deck as the center where the two of them fighting, cracks like spider webs spread out in all directions. CHAPTER 35 KILLED Previous ChapterNext Chapter The deck is collapsing.! Quickly back off! The people of the Happo Navy watched as the cracks on the deck spread all the way to below their feet and panicked, they rushed back toward the rear. Some people even tightly held the guardrail at the edge of the deck. Boo stood on the side with one twisted arm, and couldnt help but feel shocked as he watched the aftermath of the confrontation between Ross and Sai. On one hand, he hadnt expected Ross to equally fight with Sai and on the other hand, he was surprised that the aftermath of their confrontation was so intense. Bang! Finally, with a roaring sound, the power of distortion and the vibration force completely blew up and Ross fist shook as he took a small step back. Before Boo and the members of the Happo Navy could become happy upon seeing this scene, Sais foot issued cracking sound of joints twisting and his body flipped over, falling down three meters away on the ground. Crash! At last, the deck could no longer sustain it. With Ross and Sai as the center, it started to collapse. Ross jumped and retreated to the guardrail on the edge of the deck. Sai also jumped with the help of one leg to the guardrail on the other side. Sais expression was extremely serious. Obviously, his leg that collided with Ross did not appear to be agile and it was slightly trembling. Although it was not completely broken in the previous collision, it was obviously severely twisted. Hasshoken that have been passed down from generation to generation in the Happo Navy seems to be pretty mediocre. Ross had a slightly sour muscle on his arm. He looked calmly at Sai across the deck as he forcibly stretched his, dispelling the feeling of numbness by force. Whiz! Having withstood the aftershocks of Hasshoken technique, Ross leaped forward and rushed towards Sai leaving an afterimage with his speed. This guy Sai didnt expect Ross to withstand the aftermath of his Hasshoken so easily. One of his legs still has no strength. He lowered his face and stared sternly at Ross who had rushed towards him. He clenched his right fist and punched in the direction of Ross. Bang! When two fists collided, Sais Hasshoken punch was obviously weaker than his leg attack and this attack is not as good as the previous one. Under Rosss punch, the guardrail on the bottom of his feet collapsed directly. His entire body was embedded in the wood. Kch! Sai struggled hard to get out of the wood. He jumped back trying to avoid Rosss second punch but Ross did not give him any chance and rushed up directly. Whoosh! Ross punched and his single punch suddenly turned into countless fists like an Asura with countless hands, as they fell upon Sais face. Sai was shocked. Although he immediately captured Ross original punch with weak Observation Haki, he couldnt evade or counter it. He could only lay his arms on his chest and use Armament Haki on them to resist Ross punch. Bang! Ross punched between Sai arms. Even though the distortion force on his fist would be weaker when applied with Light distortion, it was a solid hit and Sai had no time to perform his Hasshoken! His weak Armament Haki was obviously not enough to withstand Ross power of distortion and the muscles of his arms were distorted by distortion force. Hiss! Sai suck in a breath of cold air. Even though he tensed his muscles and bones with all his might and retreated backward, the muscles on his arm still suffered severe sprains and bruises under the blow, and both of his arms immediately swelled. Undoubtedly, the terror of Distortion Fruit was revealed. Only a strong body and Haki are not enough to completely withstand the power of distortion, every time you take a punch you will be damaged. No one can resist it. It is very similar to Whitebeards Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi ). This is bad! In the distance, Boo covered his injured arm and watched the scene with a sinking feeling in his heart and he ordered the members of Happo Navy who were next to him: Everyone attack! Kill that kid! Yes! Members of the Happo Navy were frightened by the fact that Ross was suppressing Sai, but when they heard Boos order, although their foreheads were overflowing with cold sweat, they gritted their teeth and rushed up with all kinds of swords and artillery in their hands. Bang! Bang! Bang! The disordered bullets flew towards Ross, and some portable cannon spewed fire, shooting cannonballs towards Ross. Facing the bullets and cannonballs covering the entire sky, Ross did not retreat. Instead, his eyes slightly flashed, and he opened both of his arms and made a hugging movement in the void. Buzz!! All the bullets and cannonballs that were fired at him, had their flight trajectory strangely distort under Ross region and shot towards Sais head. Damn! Sais pupils shrank and he tried to retreat, but one of his legs has not recovered yet and his arms had swollen big. His flexibility has already fallen to the bottom, and even though he can use a little Observation Haki, he cant completely avoid all bullets and cannonballs. As blood splattered out in all directions, Sais eyes widened and he held the guardrail of the deck, barely able to stand. Finished. I will give you a dignified death. Ross calmly looked at Sai who was seriously injured and yet still standing. He drew out the Named Sword Happy Spring from his waist and step forward. Chii! Blood gushed out and Sais body slowly fell to the ground. ___Silence. All the members of the Happo Navy who were rushing up with knives, guns, and artillery in their hand froze in their place and the guns in their hands stopped shooting bullets. The time seemed to stop. Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and there was almost an expression of horror and disbelief on their faces. Sai is dead. They, who had even campaigned in Grand Line, though it was just an ordinary campaigned. No one thought that Sai, the Vice Leader of the Happo Navy would die here, died in the trifling West Blue! You you actually killed the Vice Leader This, if this is known by that person In the silence, they didnt know whose voice was trembling. Leader Don Chinjao has many descendants, but the most outstanding and the most he was concerned about is Sai. He has long planned to train Sai into the thirteenth generation leader. Looking at Sais position as substitute-vice leader of the 13th generation of Happo Navy at such a young age, everyone can see his position in the heart of Leader Don Chinjao. No one knows how Don Chinjao will react to this. Perhaps the name of the man who has not traveled in the sea for many years has been gradually forgotten by the world, but how could they possibly not know, being members of the Happo Navy. Don Chinjao The Drill! Before the Great Age of Pirates, he was an existence that was able to move unhindered in the sea, with a bounty of 500 million Berries! How could this be. On the other hand, Boo looked at Sais fallen body. His breathing was almost stagnant, and his heart almost stopped beating. Thinking of the scene of his grandfathers anger and madness, the cold sweat on his forehead is constantly dripping, he is afraid that even he may get torn into pieces by the angry old man! Boo looked at Ross eyes, and his eyes flashed with horror, fear, disbelief and so on. You are finished It wouldnt matter even if you hide in the Grand Line. You will be chased to the ends of the earth by him Chii! A sword light flashed and Boos voice stopped abruptly. Ross gently pulled out the tip of his sword and blood gushed out along the edge of the sword. He looked straight ahead and didnt look at Boos fallen body. He spoke calmly: If someone wants to kill me then let him come. How can anyone who fears neither the Marines nor the worlds governments be afraid of an old man who has become rusted with time? CHAPTER 36 OBSERVATION HAKI’S NOTES Previous ChapterNext Chapter After killing Sai and Boo in succession, even though Ross has spent a lot of stamina, he still has more than enough to deal with the remaining Happo Navy members. As Sai and Boo were hidden under the reputation of Happo Navy and Leader Don Chinjao, the bounty of 30 million Berries and 20 million Berries respectively was only symbolic. They gave Ross 10 points of Talent Proficiency as a reward. The whole ship was on the verge of crumbling after the big battle, but Ross searched it before the ship completely collapsed. To Ross surprise, he got an unexpected surprise as he chose to not immediately destroy the ship, and instead chose to search it. Observation Hakis training notes Sitting in his cabin, Ross looked at the notes which were less than two pages long in his hand with a glimmer of joy in his eyes. He didnt know whose notes these were, but there is no doubt that these notes will come in handy for him now. He must possess the power of Haki in this world. Although he knows the existence of Haki, he does not know the specific method to practice it. Now, the training method is in his hands. If he can comprehend Observation Haki on his own by these notes then he can save 1 Free Talent Point in the Talent System. The only regrettable thing is that the notes on the practice of Armament Hakis were not found. Observation Haki, the sixth perception ability, which is independent of the other five senses is a strong ability which is able to predict attacks from enemies outside the line of sight. The main points of its training are Looking at the two pages in his hand, Ross concentrated his thoughts and showed a serious and thoughtful look in his eyes. Strictly speaking. These two pages only contain main points of Observation Haki and not a complete practice method but because Ross has a certain understanding of the power of Observation Haki, with these main points, he is able to explore and derive the complete practice direction. After carefully reading the two pages of notes, Ross remembered them all. After a moment of contemplation, he walked into his training room and began to transform the environment of the room. Quickly. Ross hung many ropes from the ceiling of his room and various ball-shaped sandbags of different sizes hung below them. This is the environment layout of a practice room that was previously found on the Happo Navy ship. It is obviously used to practice Observation Haki and Ross has recreated it in his own ship. Observation Haki and Armament Haki are a potential force that everyone has and they are qualified to practice it once they are strong enough. After arranging the room, Ross went to the center of the room and stood. After recording the positions of the sandbags around him, he closed his eyes and tried to concentrate all his energy and attention. Then he suddenly attacked and hit the nearest four sandbags causing them to fly out. Whirl! Whirl! Four sandbags suspended by ropes in the air were flying out. Because of the different sizes and the force and time of Ross hitting, the trajectories of the four sandbags were all different. Some even hit other sandbags. Bang! Bang! Ross listened to the sounds coming from sandbags, He closed his eyes and punched two sandbags coming at him causing them to fly back, but he was hit in the head by the other two sandbags because of his inaccurate judgment. Its very difficult to judge an attack without relying on vision. Ross opened his eyes and looked at the four sandbags swinging around. Then he closed his eyes again. Lets start with these four sandbags. Although there are only main points of training Observation Hakis and no specific method on the notes, it is not difficult for Ross to figure out the basic practice method, direction, and route according to the layout of the room seen on the Happo Navy ship. Bang! Bang! Ross closed his eyes, punched again and hit the four sandbags causing them to flew out, then he concentrate on perceiving the flight trajectory of the four sandbags. He punched out four times and this time was a little better than the last time. He punched out four times and hit three sandbags, but these three punches are not hit in the right position, there is some deviation. Its coming back again. Ross opened his eyes for a moment and closed them again. Ross again threw four punches and hit three sandbags. As he gradually adapted to this exercise method, this time he was more precise than last time. After training for a while, Ross thought of the 10-points of Talent Proficiency he acquired when he killed Sai and Boo. The promotion of Agility Enhancement should also be helpful in practicing the Observation Haki. He called the Talent System and put these 10 points of proficiency to Agility Enhancement. The total proficiency of Agility Enhancement has reached 60. The improvement brought by Agility Enhancement is not only speed but also response time and more sensitive perception. These 10 points of Talent Proficiency went up, giving Ross the feeling that a part of weight has been lifted from his body and his body became much lighter. Continue. After adapting to the changes of his body, Ross exhaled and continued to hit the sandbags, practicing Observation Haki. Kano Country. Two Battleships were docked at the dock on the South Bank, while the many Pirate Ships on the South Coast had already dispersed and disappeared. Only wreckage remains of the Happo Navy Ship? Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo stood on the deck and shook his head as he listened to the report by his subordinates Marine. Happo Navy is the official Pirates of the Kano Country, They are similar to Shichibukai, as they are generally not pursued by Marines. As one of the subordinate countries of the world government, Kano Country has some connections with Marines. Before that, he had contacted the top authority of Kano Country to let them stop Ghost Hand Ross. But he didnt expect Ross to easily leave. Sure enough, pirates are unreliable. Onigumo eyes showed a trace of indifference. A Marine Captain next to Onigumo frowned and whispered: Rear Admiral, what are we going to do next? Ghost Hand Ross has destroyed the Happo Navy ship, Happo Navy will certainly not give up Onigumo snorted coldly and said: You want to say that we watch at the side and let them deal with him? What else our navy could do if we cant even catch up to him. We cant let this situation continue or we will lose our standing in the Headquarter. Yes. The Captain who was reprimanded bowed his head. Onigumo looked at the sea in the distance and a cold light flashed lightly in his eyes. He said: That fellow bought a branch of Treasure Tree Adam. He should be planning to build a new ship. Most likely he is going to the Shipwright Town. Unfortunately, I will not give him the opportunity to ride on his new ship! Relay my orders, each branchs Battleship will divert their course, the target is Shipwright Town, and completely destroy the Ghost Hand pirates. CHAPTER 37 KOKONOR FITZ Previous ChapterNext Chapter Shipwright town harbor. Three days have passed since Sai and Boo were killed. Kano Country is not far from the Shipwright town, so even if it is a slow ship, it will still arrive at noon on the fourth day. In Ross training cabin, five sandbags were swinging around Ross. He stood in the middle of the sandbags with his eyes closed as he kept punching the sandbags. In most cases, Ross could hit five sandbags and occasionally he will hit nothing and he gets hit by the sandbags. It is more difficult then he imagined to master the Observation Hakis. After three days of continuous practicing, he is able to find a glimpse of the way but it will take time to truly cross that. Haki is a hidden force that everyone has, but most people are unaware of it or unable to sense it. The first step in practicing Haki is to sense the existence of Haki and control it and then continue to develop it to strengthen Haki. The first step is undoubtedly the most difficult. Just as Ross closed his eyes and tried to grasp the special perception in the dark and his own Observation Haki, the door of the cabin was knocked and Robins voice came from outside. Captain Ross we have arrived at Shipwright towns harbor. Got it. Ross exhaled, opened his eyes and stopped the swinging sandbags and stayed at his position for a while. He recalled the training process in his mind. Then he got up and walked out of the cabin. Coming out of the cabin, he can see the harbor of the Shipwright town. Shipwright Town was not big, much smaller than the Kano Country, and was just a medium-sized island. However. The harbor here was much larger than the harbor in the Kano Country and there was a lot of cargo piled up on the harbor. This is not Kano Country, pirates may not be welcome here. Robin walked over to Ross side. Ross said indifferently, Pirates dont exist so as to be liked by people. Lets go. As before, they left the handyman on board. Ross and Robin got off the ship and landed on the dock. In the hope of finding the best Shipwright, Ross found a worker carrying wood on the dock and threw out a gold coin at him and asked straightforwardly: Who is the best Shipwright here? The worker was frightened to see Ross get off a pirate ship, but when he saw a gold coin thrown over to him, after staring blankly at it his timidity dropped a little. After hearing Ross question, he pinched the gold coin and suddenly smiled. We have very good Shipwrights here. But If you want to ask for the best Shipwright, it should be Old man Fitz. He rarely makes ships for others, but the few ships he made are very famous. You said old Fitz is it Kokonor Fitz? Robin was shocked to hear the workers words and asked him a question. Yes. The worker nodded. He hadnt built a ship in a long time. Probably not many people knew that he is in our town. Ross looked at Robin a little strangely and asked: Who is Kokonor Fitz? Robin put her finger on her chin, revealed a thoughtful expression and said. Well, Ive heard of Red-Haired Shanks ship when I was gathering information before. It seems that he made Red-haired Shanks ship. Red-haired Shanks is New World Yonk (Four Emperors). Ross interrupted Robins speech and looked at the worker in surprise. It is speculated that the hometown of Shanks was somewhere in the West Blue. He didnt expect that the Shipwright who had made the ship for Yonk (Four Emperors) would be here. Where is he? Go straight along this road, turn right after two blocks, theres a shabby cabin where he lives. The workers pointed out the way to Ross. He took Robin along that direction and turned right after crossing two streets. And at once he saw a shabby single-story cabin from afar. Outside the cabin, a group of seemingly angry people were gathered. Captain, are we being cheated, the best shipwright lives in this broken-down place? A man with a scar on his face frowned at another man with a broad-edged sword. The man with the broad-edged sword narrowed his eyes too and said: Lets call him out and see for ourselves. Hearing the captains words, a man came up and kicked the door of the wooden house and said: Hey! The guy inside, get out! Our captain wants to see you! Silence. The man kicked the door hard again, but there was still no movement in the cabin. Just when they thought that there was no one inside, there was a sudden cough in the cabin. Cough! Cough! Really, I cant sleep well even for a nap. With a coughing sound, the door of the wooden house was pushed open. An old man about fifty or sixty years old with a gray beard and worn out clothes came out from the inside. Looking at the old mans appearance, the group of people all frowned and some people couldnt help but say: This guy is really the best Shipwright? How dare that damn bastard lie to us! Hey, if you are looking for the best Shipwright? Then you didnt find the wrong person. My skills are not bad. Old Fitz covered his mouth and coughed twice, taking a case of wine from the waist and took a sip, which made him feel good. Hearing the old mans words, all the people present looked at each other, some of them were not convinced. After hesitating for a moment, someone said: Our captain wants you to build a ship for him. Oh. Old Fitz nodded and calmly said, Not doing. The group of people was stunned. One of them showed irritation and pulled out his pistol and said, Hey! Old fellow, do you know who our captain is? If you dont want to die, cooperate! Your captain ah Old Fitz spoke in a drawl. Suddenly, his wrist shook and a pistol was in his hand. A precise shot pierced the pirates head. He raised the pistol and blew at the muzzle and sighed: I really dont want to know. Damn! They apparently did not expect that this ugly old man would dare to start a fight with them. After a moment of stunned silence, they were furious and pulled out their respective weapons before surrounding old Fitz. But just then, clear footsteps were heard behind them. Coming through. Ross walked behind two people put his hands on their shoulders and pushed them to both sides. The body of the two people rotated and distorted a few times, their bones cracked and they fell to the ground. The numerous pirates were shocked by the sudden change in the situation. When they turned and saw Ross, their pupil shrunk and revealed panic in their eyes. You are Kch kch! Ross kept on walking forward, and wherever he passed, the sound bones cracking and twisting was heard. A pirate tried to escape in terror but Robin who was following Ross broke his neck with Treinta Fleur Strangle. Old Fitz didnt care about these pirates, and even when Ross appeared, he didnt care but when he saw Robin behind Ross, his body abruptly froze. OlOlivia? No, you cannot be Olivia Robin, who has always looked calm, after hearing the name of Olivia was stunned for a moment and for the first time she lost control of her expression. Olivia! Full name Nico Olivia, one of the archaeologists of OHara and also the biological mother of Nico Robin! CHAPTER 38 BATTLESHIP ARRIVES Previous ChapterNextChapter Ross looked at Old Fitz and looked at Robin again as surprise expression flashed in his eyes. He didnt expect to meet someone who was familiar with Robins mother. Youdo you know Mom?! The seventeen-year-old black-haired girl looked at the old Fitz, her fists slightly clenched as she asked in a rare sobbing voice. Old Fitz looked at Robin and leaned his head back and sighed: Naturally, I sailed with her for some time in search of the history of my family. Devil Child, Nico Robin, although she never said she had a child, I should have long thought of it. Old Fitz eyes flashed with a trace of self-blame. Robin bit her lips. She who always seems to be able to remain calm in any situation revealed a trace of sadness and pain on her face. Old Fitz was silent for a moment and said, Want to know something about your mother? If you want to know, come in and sit down. Ill tell you everything I know. Robin was silent and turned to look at Ross. Just listen to it you want to hear. Its still early anyway. Ross nodded at her. Old Fitz looked at Ross before smiling at him and said: Ghost Hand Ross, You are different from the rumors spread about you, the governments newspapers are really bad. Old Fitz opened the door of the cabin and invited Ross and Robin together. The environment inside the cabin is the same as that of the outside. There is nothing special about it. Things like books, newspapers and so on are piled up everywhere and the cabin is incomparably messy. Old Fitz didnt reveal any embarrassed expression and brought out two small wooden stools for them to sit while Ross and Robin ignored the messy environment and sat down without any awkwardness. From Old Fitzs mouth, Robin learned a lot about her mother, Olvia. Her face remained calm and silent and she did not shed any tears. Obviously, once again, she hid all of her emotions. That is everything I know about your mother. Old Fitz finished his last sentence, took up the wine bottle and took a sip, his eyes slightly gloomy. Ross did not know much about Robins mothers past, nor did he pay much attention to it. But some of the things that Fitz disclosed in his narrative made Ross very surprised. There are three ancient weapons in this world, Sea King Pluton, Poseidon, and Uranus. Among them, Pluton is a ship and it is rumored that anyone can destroy an island with this ship. The construction of Pluton was the ultimate weapon created by the combination of all the top Shipwright and scientists in the whole world at that time. And the ancestors of old Fitz were one of the Shipwrights that built the Pluton! In order to trace the origin of his blood and that periods history, old Fitz boarded Olvias ship and went with a group of archaeologists to find the lost history, but only a few of them were found in the end. There was a moment of silence. Old Fitz took another mouthful of wine before talking with Robin and Ross. Okay, thats all. You two shouldnt be idle to talk to an old man like me. Whats the matter? Say, it wont be building a ship, right? Just want to ask you to help build a ship for me. Ross saw that Robin had her head bowed in silence, so he said to the old man Fitz. Fitz shook his forehead and said, I knew it He looked at Robin and looked at Ross again. He said helplessly: Really, you cant let an old man enjoy his old age? Help you build a ship. If the government knows, this old man will have to hide in another isolated island. Ross slightly smiled and didnt speak. Since the old Fitz and Robins mother have a deep friendship and Robin was now wanted by the World Government as a Devil Child and a crew member of his ship, it was clear that the sentimental old man would not sit idly by. Sure enough, after looking at Robin, Old Fitz sighed and said, No way, I cant just sit back and ignore the only heir of my old friend. It seems that my old bones are going to be used one last time! Having said that, he stood up and asked Ross: Dont tell me that you dont have any material ready. Just coming and finding an old man to build a ship. This old man cant make it out of nothing for you. Ross shook his head. The materials are here, but I only brought a main material the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam. The old Fitz eyes flashed slightly before saying: Is this the 42-meter Treasure Tree branch? So that wood fell into your hands, good! With this wood as the keel, this old man will surely build a ship so fast that no Battleship will be able to catch it! His ancestors were responsible for Plutons power unit. Although the things of that time were already lost, Kokonor is still standing at the top of the world in designing ships for speed. Thank you very much, here is the reward. Ross put the bag filled with 80 million Berries in front of him. Old Fitz grinned and did not refuse. Instead, he raised his hand and took it. After opening it up and looking at it, he said, Enough, even if you buy the best supplements, there are still 20 million Berries that will be left and I wont have to worry about drinking in the future He stood up and walked towards outside while carrying the bag of money at his back. After two steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Ross: Thats right. Marine has taken a thorough look at you. Im afraid that with the governments intelligence capability they will soon know that youre here. Even if I pull a bunch of Shipwrights together, it will take at least seven days to complete the ship. If a Battleship comes in within seven days Rest assured. Ross stood up and calmly accepted the conversation, saying, There will be no Battleship to disturb your shipbuilding. I will deal with that problem. Old Fitz smiled as he saw Ross exiting his wooden house. Robin stood up and followed Ross out. As she passed Old Fitz, she whispered Thank you. Youre welcome. Old Fitz answered and closed the door. With old Fitz, the top Shipwright leader and a group of other Shipwrights called in, all the other materials for the ship were selected that day. As for shipbuilding drawings, old Fitz had designed a speed-based ship a long time ago but because the main material had to be the strongest wood, he had not been able to build it. This branch of Treasure Tree Adam was just right for it. The design is often the most troublesome part and if this part is skipped directly, the speed of building a ship will be greatly accelerated, it was because of this that old Fitz said that the ship will be completed in seven days. While Old Fitz was working day and night with many shipwrights to build the ship, Marine Headquarters Rear Admirals fleet of five Battleships approached the Shipwright town. Finally. The Marine fleet arrived in Shipwright town on the afternoon of the next day CHAPTER 39 KENBONSHOKU OBSERVATION HAKI CHAPTER 39 KENBONSHOKU (OBSERVATION HAKI) Previous ChapterNext Chapter Report! Ghost Hand Pirates are discovered on the north shore of the Shipwright town! On the Marine Battleship, a sentry post stood on a high place, lowered his telescope and reported to Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo, who wears Marines justice cloak underneath. Not Surprising. Onigumo, with a shimmer in his eyes, looked in the direction of the north bank and snorted: Transfering me from Headquarters to West Blue for a pirate that has never been to the Grand Line, so far finally I can complete this troublesome mission. For a single pirate of the West Blue, The entire Marine Headquarters in charge of West Blue jumped up and down, covering up the facts, communicating with the government, chasing Ross and even sending him to West Blue, which he had been annoyed with. Tell the fifth Battleship that their route is to remain unchanged, they need to block the escape route, the other Battleships turn their course and surround the North Shore! Yes. A colonel next to him immediately nodded. They did not expect that an ordinary Pirate Hunter would cause so much trouble after becoming a pirate. First, the colonel was killed and then the main branch base failed to catch him. Finally, the Marine Headquarters was forced to send a Rear Admiral. Fortunately, this trouble can finally come to an end here, blocked by their five Battleships, plus some other battleships which are late, but they are also driving this way, There is almost no possibility of them escaping from the Marines, Ghost hand pirate group is destined to be destroyed here and become history. Shipwright town West Bank. Old Fitz and three Shipwright were constantly working and four or five physically strong workers are constantly carrying planks, and the whole ship had begun to take shape. While beating on the ships deck, Old Fitz inadvertently glanced at the distant sea and saw a dark shadow gradually approaching the Shipwright town. Thats aMarines Battleship! So fast? Old Fitz didnt expect Marine to come so soon. There is no Marines branch base near Shipwright town and the nearest one is more than ten days away. If Marines reaction is slower, then it will be too late for them to stop him from building a new ship. What he didnt expect was Marine had assembled so many Battleship fleets and only took two days to arrive here. He only thought that the nearest Marine base Battleships would be here in ten days, but he did not think that Marines had already assembled a fleet and had been following Rosss ship! Obviously. He underestimated Marines will to kill Ross. If there are only one or two Battleships then with Ross strength who is the strongest pirate of the West Blues, he may be able to deal with them but five Battleships are different and the Battleship formation is very terrifying. Although old Fitz has built many ships that are famous in the sea, he has never boarded any Pirate Ship. He had no problem dealing with a small pirate who dared to rob him. But in the face of the Battleship level combat, There is nothing he can do. As long as you can get on this ship, even if there are more Battleships, you could have easily outrun them, but now If only I could have a few more days. Old Fitzs fist clenched tightly. At this distance, even if Ross was aboard his previous ship, he would not have the time to get rid of the Marine fleet. Five Battleship fleets were formed. Such a huge battle force obviously meant to destroy Ross directly without giving him any chance at all. How can I protect Olivias child here Old Fitz twisted his eyebrows together and racked his brains trying to find a way to help Ross and Robin escape from here, but nothing comes to his mind. He knows a lot of people, even Red Hair Shanks has a deep friendship with him, but in this situation, even if he can inform the Shanks in New World asking him for help, It is not possible for Shanks to appear here out of thin air. He doesnt have enough time! All the ways he can think of, he cant implement them due to the shortage of time, Marine Battleships came so soon that they might have been chasing behind Ross all this time. This is really troublesome. Shipwright town North Shore. In the training cabin of the old ship, Ross was standing at the center of five suspended sandbags, punching one punch after another and constantly beating the sandbags swinging around. His ship is being built here and he is taking all the time he has to exercise, trying to master the Observation Haki as soon as possible. He exercises every day and practices every day, Ross is sometimes very tired but he never stops because he knows clearly that if he stops one day because he is tired, then there will be the next day and the third day. He didnt want to make fatigue an excuse for laziness. And. As early as the Talent System first appeared, the system voice mentioned the phrase I suggest that the host should not rely too much on the system. Although Ross does not know the drawbacks of relying too much on the system, the reminder itself fits his idea, because the system, as it appears, is likely to disappear someday. If it should disappear, would everything of itself disappear with it? Because of this, Ross has always maintained the habit of practicing every day. Although the system may not disappear out of thin air, his exercises will not stop. Hu! Hu! In the process of punching and beating sandbags, Ross gradually entered a state of extreme inner calm, as if he could feel every muscle in motion and the airflow brought by his breath. His perspective suddenly became the third party, watching his body standing there, punching and swinging sandbags. This feeling Ross thought it was strange. This is the first time he has entered this state. In past practice, it has never appeared before. In this state, he seems to be able to observe every detailed change of his own. This state is also recorded in the notes. This is a state in which every muscle and every bone of the body can be perfectly controlled in detail. Once in this state, Observation Haki is very close to being learned! The power of Observation Haki is not so much the potential of the human body as it is a force that will be ignored in most cases. For an average person, their body is too weak and the Observation Haki is also very weak that it is almost useless. But. Even many ordinary people, in the face of death, at the moment of life and death will feel as if time has become extremely slow as if they can see the trajectory of bullets fired at them. In fact, in the state of near death, the spirit is strongly stimulated, leading Observation Haki to be completely stimulated in an instant, thats the feeling that appears at the life and death moment. Naturally. Ordinary people can at most trigger a moment of Observation Haki because of the stimulus of life and death. Most of them can no longer grasp that state after the event, and the burst of Observation Haki will quickly return to the original state. But for people like Ross, what they have to do is to observe the existence of Observation Hakis under normal conditions and master the power thoroughly! Peace Observe calm Ross tries his best to be not affected by this strange state of mind, to keep his mind calm and to observe his every move. He doesnt know how long ago it took and under the repeated mechanization, Ross suddenly noticed a strange thing that lingered on his body like an airflow for a moment. Un? Ross was shocked and instantly broke away from the state of complete calmness and the strange airflow disappeared instantly from his perception. No mistakes thats it! Rosss eyes showed a trace of excitement and he was not depressed that he had withdrawn from that state because as long as he could observe this state the first time, then he would certainly be able to observe this state a second and third time. When he is fully aware of the existence of Observation Haki, it is not far from controlling and using this force! Hu! Ross took a deep breath and calmed his mind, ready to continue practicing. However, at this time, the door of the practice room was suddenly pushed open from the outside and Robin appeared at the door with a grave expression, saying: Captain, Marines are here! Ross raised his hand and pressed it against the sandbags that had been swinging around him. He said, it only took them two days? It seems that they have been watching us while we were in the Kano Country. Robin nodded, murmuring, There are three medium-sized Battleships in several directions, not excluding the possibility of other Battleships. The standard arrangement for other two small Battleships and West Blue Marine branch bases should also have two medium-sized Battleships and four small Battleships. Five Battleships! Even though Robin knew Ross strength, her heart was faintly worried when she detected five Battleships coming. That is to say, this time the Battleships are either assembled from several branch bases nearby or from outside the West Blue. Ross took over. Yes. Robin nodded. For West Blue, its a powerful fleet that can sweep in all directions, even if the ten pirate groups of West Blue with an individual bounty of over 30 million berries group together, they all have to flee in front of such a fleet! Pirates who have never set foot on the Grand Line have little chance of setting off waves before such force. The presence of such a large fleet in West Blue is enough to show Marines determination to kill Ross and the importance it attaches to this. Ross smiled: Five Battleships, A Rear Admiral sent by the Headquarters to catch me, They really think highly of me. He tidied up his slightly messy shirt, went to the door of the cabin and walked past Robin and came out on the deck, looking out into the distant sea. Far away. Marines Battleships are clearly visible! CHAPTER 40 DESTROYING BATTLESHIP Previous ChapterNext Chapter Four Battleships were slowly approaching the North bank, near Rosss ship. Many of the Marines on Battleship were serious and they were waiting with their swords in hand. The man they wanted to arrest was Ghost Hand Ross that turn the West Blue upside down, even if they are led by a Rear Admiral sent by Headquarters. They would not dare to become careless. Reporting to Captain, the enemy ship is about to enter the shelling range, Do we start the bombardment? On one of the Battleships, a Lieutenant Commander in charge of the cannons asked a Captain on the ship. The captain looked at the Ghost Hand Pirate Ship in the distance and said: The Command Ship hasnt issued any orders so we will wait Captain The Lieutenant Commander hesitated for a moment and couldnt help but say: Forgive me for saying this but Ghost Hand Ross is fierce, ruthless, and cruel, everyone weve met calls him a Wicked Devil. We should try our best to avoid confronting him head-on and break his ship and sank him directly into the sea. It makes sense, but do you want to give orders beyond our power? And that Ghost Hand Ross may not be on board. When the captain said it, he snorted and said: Dont worry, we have Rear Admiral Onigumo from Headquarters. Even if Ghost Hand Ross is really a wicked devil, hell have to go to hell obediently! In the middle of their conversation, the command from the main ship finally came. Prepare the cannons, aim at the enemy ship and start preparation for the shelling! Following Onigumos orders, Marines on five Battleship ships breathed a sigh of relief and acted one after another, filling cannonball into the barrel of the cannon and aimed them at the Pirate Ship of Ross. Five Battleships only need a single round of simultaneous fire to destroy a pirate ship like that of Ross, There will be remain nothing that is intact after the bombardment. However. Just as several Battleships were approaching Ross Pirate Ship and the ship was about to enter the bombardment range, a figure suddenly jumped up and landed in the sea and started rushing towards them over the sea. That is a man? Its Ghost Hand Ross! That guy can run on the sea! Looking at the silhouette of the rushing, many of the Marines were first a stare, and then they all reacted. They were all eyes wide and surprised. Looking at the moving figure in the sea, many Marines on the Battleship stared at first, then reacted one after another, their eyes wide, showing surprise. Looking at Rosss figure that was heading towards one of the Battleship, Several Marines on the Battleship reacted and the captain shouted directly: Dont let him approach! Aim at Ghost Hand Ross, start firing! Many of the Marines on Battleship had already prepared for the bombardment. When they heard their Captain command they suppressed the shock in their hearts and turned the barrels angle slightly, aiming at Ross. Bang! Bang! Bang! In the midst of the smoke, countless cannonballs flew towards Ross like a raging Rainstorm. The area around Ross who was running towards them on the sea was completely covered. Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo was standing on the main Battleship with a cigarette in his mouth as he watches the scene and spits out a puff of smoke saying: Did he really think that the cannons on the Battleship are ornaments. For him to directly rush at the Battleship? Even I wouldnt dare to do this. There was a hint of ridicule on his face. However. Almost at the next moment, the water spray from the cannonball on the sea fell back on the sea and all mockery on Onigumos face solidified because Ross figure was still running towards them and there were no scars on his body, even his clothes were not wet from the water. How is this possible? Onigumo was surprised. Just as he frowned and wanted to continue looking, several cannons on Battleship launched another attack, once again enveloping the area around Ross. Again the cannonball fire failed to leave any trace on Ross, whether it was the cannonball rain or splashing water, Ross passed directly through them. No! This time Onigumo finally noticed something wrong. Because Ross was not affected by the cannonballs and the sprayed water and he didnt even have any water on the soles of his feet as if he had no weight at all. Rethinking about all of Ross ability in the Intelligence, Onigumo suddenly screamed in a loud voice and said, Be careful! Thats the illusion he made with his ability at sea However. It was obviously too late to notice now. He saw that Ross, which was running on the sea, was already close to a small Battleship. After jumping up, he jumped directly to the Battleship. With a sound, Ross stepped on the ships deck. It was obvious that at sometime Rosss Illusionary body merged with his real body. You On the Battleship, Marine Captain watched as Ross landed on his Battleship with a look of horror and panic, he tried to make his subordinates Marines fire their guns at Ross. But. Before he can even give his orders, he saw that the ships deck beneath Ross feet suddenly started to twist. The shipboard made of hardwood suddenly seems to become like wave. With Ross as the center, it started to twist in all directions and the whole hull makes an unbearable sound of kch kch. Bang! Bang! Bang! In their panicked state, the Marines started to fire their guns at Ross, but Ross has no intention to dodge, his hands were stretched out on both sides and the bullets that touched his hands and body got twisted around or stopped still. Under the horrified gaze of the Marines on several other Battleships, this small Battleship, which is tens of meters long, appears to be twisting and folding in the middle, its like an invisible giant holding a model ship in both of his hands and he is exerting force from both sides of the ship and finally the small ship completely collapsed! Damn it! When Onigumo saw this scene, he shouted angrily. The cigarette in his mouth had already been bitten by him. He looked angrily at the location where Battleship had collapsed. The ship was twisted by a rigid spiral and turned into a twist-like Battleship. After losing the power of distortion, the ships deck collapsed and shattered completely. At this time, Rosss figure also jumped from it, charging into the second Battleship. Fire! Stop him! Marine on the other Battleship looks at Ross who was rushing towards them, behind him a twisted ship with almost all Marines were dead. However, even as the captain on board gave his orders and countless cannonballs fired at Ross, they all passed through him without having any effect on him. Obviously, at some time, Ross who was running on the sea became a phantom image again. Bang! In the continuous bombardment, Ross figure rushed towards the second Battleship. He pressed his hand on the bulkhead of the Battleship cabin and the power of distortion violently ignited, the entire cabin showed a strange twist as it turned into a spiral cake like figure. Stop Him! A Marine Captain with a long sword in his hand rushed towards Ross with a roar. The long sword in his hand slashed out wrapped in weak sword energy towards Ross. Ross had no intention of avoiding it and his other hand lifted to block it. The sword energy fell towards his hand like a snake. It twisted a few times and then collapsed and broke, and then the captains sword was also pinched between his fingers. Weak sword arts. The power of this sword is comparable to Captain Moby, but for him now, it can be pinched between his fingers. CHAPTER 41 ROSS VS ONIGUMO Previous ChapterNext Chapter Kch! With a slight force from Ross fingers, the long sword twisted and broke, At the same time, a twisting force was transmitted along the long blade and bombarded the Captains body, letting blood gush out of his mouth as he flew backward. Then he stepped on his feet and the entire ship again showed strange ripples that spread in all directions. Eventually, countless boards overturned and the entire ship folded violently in the middle and broke apart. After destroying two Battleships in succession, Ross stood on the broken Battleship and gasped for a moment. After adjusting slightly, he jumped up and landed on the sea. Destroying Battleship takes less stamina than Ross though. Despite the enormous burden placed on his physical body by the power of distortion, it took only about 20% of his actual physical strength to destroy two Battleships in such a short period of time. This consumption is completely affordable. Whiz! Ross continues to charge towards the next Battleship. His body is actually running on the surface of the sea. In the case of Gepp (Moonwalk), the air can become a pedal to step upon, so it is naturally much easier to use seawater as a pedal. With the power of his current Distortion Fruit, the phantom formed by refracting light can be as far as twenty or thirty meters away from his original body, enough to make the gunfire on the Battleship unable to find his true location. Crash-Bang! After an ineffective cannonball fire, Ross stepped up and out of the sea. He jumped up and landed over on the next Battleship. He is here! Damn! What should we do? Seeing Ross once again ignoring the cannonball fire and jumping up from the sea and onto the Battleship, numerous Marines on the Battleship showed some horror on their faces. However. Almost immediately after Ross jumped on the battleship and landed, a single powerful sword energy strike came from the West direction intending to cut his head. Faced with the sudden attack, Ross did not panic, He hugged his hands from both sides and clamped the sword energy between his palms and then he rotated in the air throwing the sword energy towards the sea. Sneer! The sword energy fell into the sea and cut a fissure of more than ten meters in the sea. Looking at the aftermath of the attack on the sea, Ross eyes slightly fluctuated. He had guessed who wielded the sword that attacked him. There was no doubt that the only one who could display this level of sword arts was the Rear Admiral Onigumo from the Marine Headquarters. Ross also had a little impression of Onigumo, He vaguely remembered that during the War of the Best in the original story, Onigumo cooperated with Admiral Kizaru and captured Captain Marco of the First Division of the Whitebeard Pirates by clasping seastone cuffs on his wrist. Ross turned his head and looked in the direction from where the sword energy came. There. A figure is Wearing a Marine Justice coat with a brown-purple hair and a Marine justice plaque embroidered with a military officers badge and standing on the top of the cabin. It is the Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo! He held a sword in his hands and was coldly staring at Ross. Yes Its Rear Admiral Onigumo! Oh, We are saved Many Marines on Battleship did not see when Onigumo arrived on their Battleship, but they were relieved seeing the power displayed by Onigumos sword. Ross strength is too terrible for them to resist and the only person that can take him down is the Rear Admiral Onigumo, an elite marine sent by the Marine Headquarters on Grand Line! As a Rear Admiral of the Marine Headquarter, Onigumo has a prestigious reputation on the Grand Line and he had also defeated pirates with bounties of over 100 million berries so it is natural that he will not have any problems dealing with Ross. With him on the Battleship, it was like eating a reassurance pill for many Marines present, Their panic and fear faded away and a calm feeling replaced them. Ghost Hand Rossyou bastard Onigumo looked at Ross on the deck with cold eyes and said: Do you know how much responsibility I have to take for losing two Battleship! At the same time as his last sentence fell he suddenly turned into a shadow, rushing towards Ross, with his sword wrapped in a powerful sword energy force descending at Ross. Whiz! Rosss footsteps turn as he also shows Soru of Marines Rokushiki. After avoiding the sword, his body turned as he attacks Onigumo with his one leg. Onigumo snorted as he blocked the attack with his sword. Buzz!! Ross kicked Onigumos legs on the side of the blade and the power of distortion jumped up, causing Onigumo arms to slightly shake with the blade. There is a huge power gap between the branch Rear Admiral and Headquarters Rear Admiral. One is responsible for the defense of their respective sea area whether it is the East, North, South, or West Blue, while Headquarter Rear Admiral is responsible to guard a section of the Grand Line! As the Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, Onigumo is not only proficient in Marines Rokushiki, but he can also use two different types of Haki. After the standoff, the two men retreated a few steps. If losing two Battleships make you this angry, then I am sorry because this is just the beginning. Ross looked at Onigumo and said calmly, I said this when I was forced to become a pirate, I hope you dont regret the orders that were issued at that time. Onigumo was silent when he heard Ross words. Regret? A little bit. But what he regretted was not that Ross was classified as a pirate, but that Lieutenant Colonel Leica a waste of Marines who couldnt even deal with Ross in the very beginning. At this point, there is no possibility of any reversal. Marines can never give up their prestige for a single individual. Only by putting Ross down to the bottom of the sea can the majesty of Marine be demonstrated and the pirates on the sea can be deterred. From your refusal to join Marines, I can see that there is no justice in your heart, Even if we didnt do anything, you will surely be on the road that is opposed to justice, so whatever you say does not have any significance Onigumos coldly said and he stepped forward, his left hand holding a sword sweep and his right hand holding another sword chops at the same time creating a cross shape sword energy to cut Ross. A good excuse. Rosss face flashed with a trace of sarcasm, He punched out hitting the center of the cross-shaped sword energy, The power of distortion suddenly broke out and the cross-shaped sword energy was twisted and crushed, creating a deep crack on the surrounding Shipboard. After smashing Onigumos sword energy, Ross suddenly stepped forward with a strong power of distortion wrapped around his fist and punched towards Onigumos chest. He was too lazy to start an argument with a Marine. There is no room for reconciliation between him and the Marines. By killing Marine captains and rear admiral he can get Talent Proficiency points. In his eyes, Marines are just his prey. Buzz!! Onigumo crossed his two swords and resisted Ross attack then he violently swung his swords at Ross direction. At the same time, he jumped up and swept his legs. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick)! The two sword energies with strong horizontal foot power are interwoven with each other forming a network of sword energies, which cuts towards Ross. Ross eyes were indifferent, his hands were separated up and down and he tore the web of sword energy by pulling it up and down and then he stepped right through the middle. Distorted Tempest. As he stepped out, his whole body suddenly shook and it was divided directly into three figures, which surrounded Onigumo from three different directions. The original power of Distortion Fruit, in terms of Light Distortion he could only refract light to this extent, Ross has been able to use the distortion of light to create two phantom doppelgangers that are identical to himself. Such phantom doppelgangers have a certain impact, even for people who can use Observation Haki, because when they see a fist coming, even if they know it is a phantom, most people will still make instinctive evasion or take defensive actions. CHAPTER 42 LIFE RETURN SEIMEI KIKAN CHAPTER 42 LIFE RETURN(SEIMEI KIKAN) Previous ChapterNext Chapter Such Insignificant skill. Looking at the three identical Ross, surrounding and besieging him, Onigumo snorted and expanded his Observation Haki. He swept the two phantom doppelg?nger with his two swords and at the same time attacked Ross with his sword energy. Although creating phantom doppelg?nger consumes stamina and takes up part of the power of distortion, Onigumo is more affected and it is more difficult for him to attack Ross with all his strength. Zi Zi! Ross hands were empty as he grabbed Onigumo sword energy attacks, twisted them into a ball and threw the sword energy ball back towards Onigumo. Onigumo used Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) and kicked towards the incoming attack, but at this time, Ross followed up and punched out with his fist wrapped in the power of distortion. At the same time. The other two phantom doppelg?nger also punched towards Onigumo, one from left and one from the right. Although He knew that the left and right are the phantom doppelg?ngers, Onigumo still instinctively reacted to avoid Ross attacks. Bang! The fists and swords intersected and the swords coated in Armament Haki in Onigumos hands showed sign of instability. The two swords also tremored violently, giving a buzz! It seems that you cant cope with this Insignificant skill. Ross sneered, he stepped on his feet and used Soru, His entire figure moved sideways as he surrounded Onigumo with his two phantom doppelg?ngers constantly switching his position with them. Onigumo hummed gloomily and suddenly closed his eyes. Instead of watching Ross attacks, He only used Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of the Marines Rokushikis and Observation Haki to captured Ross position, while holding his swords in both of his hands with Armament Haki coating them completely. Armed! Around the two swords, the Armament Hakis colors shook violently. Suddenly, they gathered together. The colors changed from surrounding the swords and became attached to them, turning the two swords into pitch-black colors. The strength of Armament Haki is high and low and at the high-level, Armament Haki can be used to achieve the hardening effect. Even at just the basic Hardening, it has already surpassed the basic level of Armament Haki and entered the high level. Armament Haki hardened Ross stared slightly but did not show any fear. He thought intently before putting away the phantom doppelg?ngers and roused up the power of Distortion Fruit. Distortion Fist! Two blade stream caress cut! Onigumo combines two swords and chops strongly. Buzz!! Ross power of distortion hit Onigumos cuts hard in the air and the fist and sword did not connect perfectly but stopped about half an inch apart from each other. At its center, the collision of sword energy and the chaotic power of distortion badly interweave and collide, making a nurturing and crackling sound, as if there was static electric current in the air. Bang! The waves of sword energy and the power of distortion finally burst apart and the aftermath of the collapse surged in all directions, leaving the deck beneath Ross and Onigumo totally disfigured and shattered. In the aftermath, Ross took two steps back, while Onigumo staggered the same way, stepping back two steps as they have almost equally hit each other with all of their strength. Devil Fruit can be developed to this extent. Onigumo opened his eyes and looked at Ross with a solemn look in his eyes. He thought that he could easily catch a pirate like Ross who had never been to the Grand Line using his strength, But he didnt expect that even when pushing his Haki to its limit it will result into this situation. Fighting with a West Blue pirate was somewhat unacceptable for him, he is a Rear Admiral, who is stationed at the Grand Line Marine Headquarters. And just as Onigumo started thinking about tactics, Ross attacked again. Distortionflash! Buzz!! In the space around Ross, the light suddenly dimmed and at the same time, a brilliant light suddenly came out of Ross eyebrow, like a flash, piercing Onigumos eyes, making his eyes painful as he involuntarily closed them. Now that the power of distortion has been able to make two phantom doppelg?nger, it can naturally converge light in an area to form a strong flash attack. Ah! This flash not only hurt Onigumos eyes but also made several Marines, who was watching from a distance, cover their eyes and scream, feeling a sharp pain in both of their eyes. Whiz! Ross stepped forward and punched Onigumo. Onigumo, unable to concentrate because of the pain in his eyes, was forced to fight with a sword and staggered back under Rosss punch. Bang! Bang! Ross showed no mercy. Knowing that the other party had Observation Haki and soru, he did not waste his stamina by moving back and forth. Instead, he fought directly and a series of blows poured down towards Onigumo like a gale Rainstorm. Onigumo has become extremely confused for a while, although he can use Armament Haki to protect his body, He cannot completely resist Ross power of distortion, with each punch, he feels extream pain in his arms. Get away from me! After being forced to retreat for more than a dozen steps, Onigumo roared while jumping up and swept his legs across and unleashed Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) toward Ross face, waving his swords in succession, sending out more than ten sword energy attacks. Bang! Bang! Bang! Ross raised his hand and pressed all the sword energies in front of him as if he is holding countless snakes. After a twist, all of them collapsed under the power of distortion. Onigumos eyes have been restored, but he has given up on opening them, He was really bothered by Ross tactics of restraining his vision. Youve pissed me off, West Blue kid! He looked at Ross and said in a cold voice, Do you know why Im called Onigumo? Thats because As his voice fell, a strange momentum suddenly appeared all over him. The hair spread over his shoulders and back suddenly floated one by one. The floating hair, bundled up and twisted together, eventually turning into six spider-like legs, the six black spiders legs took out six swords from the coat he was wearing and he held eight blades in his current posture! Life Return (Seimei Kikan)? Ross watched the strange changes on Onigumo, his eyes flashed, his impression of Onigumo was not deep, he always thought that Onigumo has the ability of the Zoan Devil Fruit model: Spider, but he did not think that Onigumo was a high-level body skill user. Life returns (Seimei Kikan) ability, even those who are proficient in Marines Rokushiki, have a little grasp on this technique, This is a top-notch body skill by which the user can freely control their body, hair and even internal organs. You havent been to Grand Line, but you have such knowledge that you recognize not only Haki but also the Life Returns (Seimei Kikan), It is quite surprising. Onigumo grinned and grinned terribly. In the War Of The Best in the original work, Life Returns (Seimei Kikan) has become Onigumos normal skill, but now it is his ultimate stunt, in order to press Ross down, he has no reservations anymore! CHAPTER 43 REVERSAL Previous ChapterNext Chapter That appearance Can hair also move? Not far away, a group of Marines, whose eyes were pierced by Ross attack and were painful and tearful, gradually recovered and when they saw what Onigumo looked like, they were all shocked. One Captain, who followed Onigumo from Headquarters, his eyes flashed with awe and he said, Its Life Return (Seimei Kikan). Ive only seen it twice, but I didnt expect that Rear Admiral Onigumo would use it against Ghost Hand Ross. Rear Admiral Onigumo use this skill, this Battle is probably going to end here. Some Marine, who followed Onigumo from Headquarters, watched the scene and murmured in awe. On the field. Onigumos shawl is arising and his hair is condensed to form Spider legs. He holds six swords. He looks terrifying, Onigumo really deserves the name of Demon Spider. What you felt just now was the sword arts of the second blade stream and now I will use eight blade stream! His face was fierce and indifferent and the moment his voice fell, He stepped down and rushed towards Ross. Six swords held by spiders legs, together with two swords held by his hands, slashed vertically and the strong sword energy interwoven directly into a sword energy net. Almost at the moment when the sword energy cuts came out, he leaped into the air, swung his legs violently displaying Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) and kicked out two energies in the void, intertwined with the net of sword energy that fell head-on towards Ross. Disorganized Sword Arts. Ross motivated the power of Distortion Fruit and condensed it in his hands and pulled the net of the falling sword energy and tore it up. Though it was difficult, it was still torn by him Its impossible for the sword arts displayed by your hair to reach the level of your hands. Ross stepped over the torn web of sword energy and went up to Onigumo, his eyes calm and indifferent, his fists swinging fast. Onigumo held two long swords in both hands to take Ross fists on the front, while the other six swords fall towards Ross head and face. Thats true, but these six swords are extra, and you only have two hands! Zi Zi Zi! Six long swords interlaced into a dense network of swords, which completely surrounded Ross. Even though Ross displayed Kami-e (Paper Drawing), he still could not avoid all of them and was occasionally hit by swords. Cuts tore his clothes in an instant and left a bloodstain on his skin. But because the Distortion Fruit power can cover his entire body and the strength of the six swords is far less than those held in Onigumo hand, the real damage to Ross is very slight. However. After a while, Ross still had more than ten bloodstains on his body. His whole body was dripping with blood and he looked terrifying. Onigumo, opposite him, was also not very happy either. One of the six swords wrapped in his hair was completely broken, two were badly damaged and only three swords remained intact. As for his arm, which is in the constant hard struggle with Ross, gradually develops muscle strain. In the case of Life Return (Seimei Kikan), Onigumo can hardly use Armament Haki hardening, so It is very difficult for him to resist the power of distortion. Why do you still have to resist, fall under justice, it is your destiny! Onigumo controls seven swords, constantly attacking Ross like a madman, the offensive is like a Rainstorm whose goal is to completely tear Ross apart. Justice? Ridiculous! Ross clothes were broken and his whole body was bleeding, but his face was still cold and calm and without any emotion, it was a terrifying sight. He punched out one punch after another, constantly smashing Onigumos sword energy, and bombarding them. In the process, although his wounds were increasing, his heart became calmer, like a spring in a quiet valley. In Ross eyes, Onigumos falling swords attacks gradually changed from frenzy to traceability and he gradually seemed to be able to see the tracks of those attacks. It wasnt known when it started. But Onigumo sword attacks started to only touch Ross body and then gradually Ross body become untouchable by those swords. Ross used Soru with his feet easily. His entire body is like a fish in water. He tosses and turns around, avoiding all the sword attacks of Onigumo. Over time, Onigumo gradually realized that something was wrong. It was clear that he had an advantage, but suddenly that advantage gradually turned into a disadvantage. Ross dodging is very similar to Kami-e (Paper Drawing) in Marines Rokushiki, but it is somewhat different. Kami-e (Paper Drawing) is only a pure state of evasion. Once you want to launch an attack, you must exit Kami-e (Paper Drawing). Ross pays equal attention to attack and evasion and his every action is flexible with accurate judgment. This is Observation Haki! Onigumo couldnt help but widen his eyes and look at Ross in front of him with an incredible look. If Ross could use Observation Haki, he would have used it a long time ago. There is only one possibility for him to use it now He learned it in Battle! Any Haki has the possibility of a direct awakening in Battle and Onigumo has met such people who awoken their Haki in a battle but all of those people he encountered were in The Grand Line or in The New World. It never occurred to him that Ross, a pirate from West Blue would be able to comprehend Haki! How can he suddenly awaken Haki without experiencing battles on the Grand Line, Without experiencing life and death, Without experiencing great and terrifying pressure, how can he suddenly awaken Haki?! Onigumos heart trembled, Now Ross is using the Observation Haki and his tricks now have no advantage. And. Due to the special nature of Distortion Fruit which is similar to quake fruit, even if it can be equally divided in strength, but the twisted effect is constantly superimposed, the receiver body will be continuously affected and step by step it will fall. Its like boiling a frog in warm water. By the time Onigumo notices the seriousness of the situation, his arms are starting to feel numb. His sword arts have become very slow. Bang! As Ross dropped another punch, The Armament Haki surrounding Onigumos sword blade was forcibly dispersed and the whole sword was in a state of an unbearable burden, showing signs of twisting and fragmentation. The situation of strength and weakness has been reversed completely! Many Marines in the distance watched this scene, all of them were shocked and are in denial. It was clear to them that Onigumo had been suppressing Ross. Why did the situation suddenly changed? It seems that your justice is coming to an end. Ross calmly watched Onigumo, who had been shocked out of his mind by him, He stepped forward and followed him directly and punched out, crushing Onigumos sword in his left hand. Damn it! Onigumo is grinding his teeth and his face showed a grim expression. He raised his left hand and took a sword from one of his hair, trying to continue the fight with Ross, but Ross dropped another punch. His arm muscles had been severely sprained and he could no longer resist it. The punch freed both of his left and right hands swords and under the influence of the power of distortions, the muscles and bones were overwhelmed. If he were not in the state of Life Return (Seimei Kikan), it would be very difficult for him to even move his fingers. Bang! Ross took another step forward, swung his arm violently and all the swords on Onigumos hair were shattered and the shattered swords fall on the ships board. Rear Admiral Onigumo! Many Marine looked at this scene and couldnt help but scream and all the faces were filled with horror. Ross stared at Onigumo, who could not believe that he would fail. There was no mockery or excitement in Ross eyes, only the dreadful calmness. He looked so coldly at Marine Rear Admiral, who was numb and unable to move. Actually. How to carry out your justice has nothing to do with me, I will not care, but if you want to put your justice on me, then I can only say You have picked the wrong person to fight from the beginning. Kch! The sound of the broken bones echoed on the silent deck. Throughout Battleship, there was silence. CHAPTER 44 MARINE HEADQUARTER VIBRATES Previous ChapterNext Chapter Far away. On the other two Battleships, all Marines stared at Ross and Onigumos Battleship, but it was very difficult to see clearly because of the distance. The sounds seems to have stopped. Is it over? Ghost Hand Ross should be overwhelmed by Rear Admiral. Someone listened to Ross and Onigumos battle on Battleship, and the constant battle sound ceased. They could not help but look at each other and show their concern. Naturally. Rear Admiral Onigumo is a Headquarters Rear Admiral of the Grand Line, Ghost Hand Ross will definitely be suppressed by Rear Admiral The Rear Admiral of the West Blue has a cigar in his mouth as he says with a dull tone. However. Almost as his voice fell, a sudden noise came from the distant Battleship, the cracking of the planks and the entire hull of the ship seemed to be violently shaking under the influence of some force. What happened?! Many people were startled and intent to take a closer look at it when the Battleships hull suddenly burst with an overwhelming sound and the whole ship was constantly twisted and shattered from the middle. Bang! With countless Marine staring in horror, the Battleship twisted and folded in the middle and was cruelly destroyed like the previous two Battleships. Battleship was destroyed! How is it possible! Rear Admiral Onigumo is on that Battleship! Many Marine officers were shocked and looked incredibly at the destroyed Battleship. Some even grabbed the sentrys telescope to look at it. Crash! The collapsed Battleship splintered on both sides, causing a huge wave of water below it which surged in all directions. And on the broken wreckage of the Battleship, a blood-drenched figure is standing there, like a god-killer coming out of the battlefield, which is terrifying. That is, Ghost Hand Ross! Looking at the bloody figure and judging his identity, Marines on the remaining two Battleships showed horror in their faces. The ship was destroyed and Ross appeared on the wreckage. What about Rear Admiral Onigumo? Could it be that Some people have an almost unbelievable idea in their hearts. Their eyes show a tinge of fear and they couldnt help but shake their heads with that knowledge. Impossible! No Way! Onigumo is a Rear Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, how is it possible for him to lose to a pirate from West Blue? However. Just as the group of Marines was shocked and horrified, the blood-bathed figure suddenly stepped under his feet and jumped up coming out of the wreckage and rushed towards the two remaining Battleship. He is coming! Damn! Where is Rear Admiral Onigumo? Many Marines were in shock, they still could not believe that Rear Admiral Onigumo would be defeated by Ross until Rosss figure arrived at their Battleship, they began to fire at Ross with their knives and guns in panic. Bang! Bang! Bang! The bullets flew but they couldnt cause any damage to Ross. When he stepped on his feet, the ships board was twisted and broken and he directly fell to the lower levels of the ship. Then a strong power of distortion centered on Rosss position spread in all directions as if the center of the ship had been hit by some severe impact and the ships plates were stacked like waves. Kch! Kch! The fourth Battleship, under Ross power, was also totally destroyed and shattered! Withdraw quickly withdraw! Marines on the fifth Battleship in the distance saw the tragedy of the fourth Battleship and finally recovered from the incredible fear and horror. The Captain on board looked at the wreckage of the Battleships in horror at the distant sea. The whole Battleship was in chaos. On the wreckage of the fourth Battleship. Ross stood in the center of the broken ships deck, watching the fifth Battleship, which fled in the reversed direction, gasping violently and barely standing. In the fight with Onigumo, he almost consumed most of his stamina. If he hadnt finally succeeded in understanding Observation Haki, even if he could still win, he would surely have won miserably. After destroying the third Battleship and the fourth Battleship, the remaining small part of his stamina has completely reached the bottom. Now, he has almost no power to move. If the fifth Battleship had turned its cannons and fired one round, that scene wouldve been extremely dangerous. However. Ross had no worries. Firstly, He knew that Marines psychological endurance on the fifth Battleship was very weak when Onigumos life and death were unknown to them and their four Battleships were destroyed. Secondly, After killing Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo he got another 40 Talent Proficiency Points. If the fifth Battleship really dares to fight him, it would have been no big deal to put these 40 Talent Proficiency Points into Physical Enhancement for a temporary recovery. Headquarterss Rear Admiral strength is remarkable, I underestimated him. Looking at the fifth Battleship in the distance, Ross shook his head and looked at the bloodstains on his body. He couldnt help but whisper. His present physical constitution is far from ordinary peoples comparison, all the bloodstain on his body are no longer bleeding and all of them are forming scabs. After a while. Robin drove the Pirate Ship slowly through the ruins. By the time the ship approached, Ross had recovered a little of his strength. With a hard step under his feet, He jumped up and landed on his ships deck. Captain Ross Seeing the blood marks on Ross, Robin couldnt help but reveal a trace of surprise and quickly came forward. Its all right. Ross waved at Robin to show that he was okay and at the same time asked her to bring the medical box and simply clean up his wound. Seeing that all the wounds on Ross were skin injuries and they were already scabbing, Robin was relieved as she made several hands and wiped Ross carefully with a cotton ball. Marine Headquarters. Inside an office on the top floor of the fortress, there is a plaque on the wall of Absolute Justice. This is Marine Headquarters Admiral Akainus office. Akainu sits at the back of his desk with Marine Justice Cloak decorated with gold shoulders, holding a document and looking at Vice-Admiral Doberman standing in front of him. Doberman is reporting to him about his work. There are no problems with these things, I am happy with your work, but Akainu listened to Doberman report on his recent work, first affirmed his work, but then raised his head and stared at Doberman. Whats going on in the West Blue? As a Marine Headquarters Admiral, he oversees the overall situation of the entire sea, although most of the time he is focused on the Grand Line and New World, He will still occasionally pay some attention to the East, the West, the North, and the South Seas. Doberman listened to Akainus mention of West Blue, and his eyes changed slightly, bowing his head: Because you were busy with work, I have not reported to you. I didnt expect you to hear about it. I am going to report it to you after I have finished processing it. After all, it is only a small matter of West Blue. It is not that troublesome to handle. Akainu snorted and said: Small things? About that Ghost Hand Ross, but it took a lot of effort to cover it up on the part of the government and it almost made Marines look like rookies! A pirate of West Blue naturally cant get into his eyes, but if it comes to Marines face, its not a trivial matter. It was my mistake. Doberman bowed his head deeply and said: Ive sent Onigumo to West Blue. As he reported a few days ago, he had tracked the exact location of Ghost Hand Ross. I think he can put an end to this in the next few days. Hearing Dobermans words, Akainus indifference converged a little. He picked up a pen, checked Dobermans papers and handed them over. Just as Doberman bent over and was about to leave, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open and a Marine Captain came in sweating. Report report! The West Blue Fleet, led by Rear Admiral Onigumo, suffered a heavy defeat in the fierce battle with Ghost Hand Pirates, Ghost Hand Ross destroyed four Battleships and the life and death of Rear Admiral Onigumo are unknown! The room was silent for an instant. The air is solidifying. Akainu stared at the Marine Captain and turned his head. His eyes showed anger, which made the temperature of the room rise slightly. What did you say?! The Marine Captain shivered and dared not speak. The expression on Dobermans face was completely stiff and his heart was violently shaken and the documents in his hand were almost unsteady. Onigumo actually couldnt handle a West Blue pirate! An unimportant person who they thought they could handle at any time, became huge trouble for them! The impact and seriousness of the Ross incident are now beyond his expectations. Great Age of Pirates, April 11. Ross defeated Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo at West Blue Shipwright town, sinking four Battleships. The news was sent back and the Marine Headquarters shook! CHAPTER 45 WEST BLUE VIBRATES Previous ChapterNext Chapter Three days later. Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo, led a fleet from West Blue branches to pursuit Ghost Hand Pirates and was defeated and lost four Battleship, his life or death is unknown, this news spread across the sea. On this day, the entire West Blue boiled. This fake! What a joke, even the Rear Admiral sent by Headquarters Countless people were holding the newspaper and their faces were full of horror and unbelievable looks. No one thought that a Rear Admiral that was sent from Marine Headquarters, could not cope with the Ghost Hand Pirates. It is more incredible that this pirate group is only a force of the West Blue and not a powerful force on the Grand Line. As the news spread, not only West Blue but also some of the pirate forces on the Grand Line also got news and the Ghost Hand Pirates gathered a lot of attention. On The Grand Line. On a Pirate Ship of the Happo Navy, a fat old man with a lush, gray beard and bald head in a green shirt is looking at the newspaper in his hand. He is the twelfth generation Leader of the Happo Navy, Don Chinjao. Sais death means that hes not as skilled as a man who killed him and there is nothing to say about death at sea, but it is unforgivable that he killed the next generation Leader of the Happo Navy. He tore apart the newspaper in his hand, his eyes burning with anger. Wait for me, kid, Ill find you sooner or later! On the other side of the sea. A pirate with 90 million berries bounty took the newspaper and said: Did he kill the Rear Admiral of Marine Headquarters? theres a great guy in the West Blue Somewhere in a bar, a one-eyed pirate reading a newspaper while drinking grinned: Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo, the bastard had come to chase after me before, but he died in the West Blue. Sooner or later, it looks like youll come to Grand Line. Who knows? But Grand Line is not West Blue, so high-profile intrusion into Grand Line may not be a good thing, he has already attracted a lot of attention. In most cases, the pirate forces fight each other because there is only one big secret treasure and The King of Pirates is the only that can have it, So only by defeating all competitors, can someone stand on the top of the entire sea. Two days before the completion of the new ship. Inside the old ships cabin, Ross stood in the center of six swinging sandbags with his eyes closed, His fists were clenched and he was beating the swinging sandbags incessantly. In his confrontation with Onigumo, although he realized and displayed the Observation Haki, It was not stable. It could only be regarded as a beginner level. He could only display it when he was fully absorbed and entered a special state. Haki cant be mastered without intense training and Armament Haki hardening also requires a lot of Battle experience to master. The same is true for Observation Haki. Even after awakening it in Battle, it will still require a lot of Battle experience and individual practice, in order to polish it to a perfect mastery. Bang! Bang! Bang! Over time, Ross was no longer confined to a fixed position but began to move gradually. He closed his eyes, threaded through a large number of swinging sandbags, hit those flipping sandbags accurately with his fists and occasionally sidestepped to avoid a few. Before my battle with Onigumo, I have always been at a disadvantage in terms of speed. Otherwise, even if Onigumo masters Observation Haki, I can rely on my flexibility and speed to avoid most attacks. Ross evaded the sandbags as he recalled the previous Battle. Now, his speed has improved a lot compared to before. Because of the 40 Talent Proficiency points, he got after killing Onigumo, he put all the points in the Agility Enhancement and now the proficiency of Agility Enhancement has reached 100 points, crossing the threshold towards High-Level Agility Enhancement. In terms of speed and reaction speed, They are nearly doubled compared with the previous one. If he fought Onigumo again, even if he doesnt use Observation Haki, he wont need to fight to the point where the Win and the lost is undetermined. Moreover. The improvement of Agility Enhancement brings not only speed and reaction rate but also more sensitive senses and perceptions, which greatly reduces the difficulty of practicing Observation Haki for Ross. With stronger senses and perceptions, Ross can easily detect the presence of Observation Haki and he constantly tries to control it during his exercise. He wants to be able to use the Observation Haki as much as he wants and not just use it instinctively in a battle. Bang! Bang! There were twelve sandbags hanging in his room. They were all swinging freely in the room at different speed. The size and directions of each sandbag were completely different. With his senses of hearing, Ross accurately avoided every sandbag and hits every falling sandbag with his fist Its still a bit difficult to control Haki as I want. Ross kept avoiding and waving his fists, enduring the spiritual burst of fatigue until he could no longer perceive the sandbags that had hit him and he stopped. Observation Haki does not consume much stamina, but it does consume spirit. Even Ross can only exercise by taking breaks. However. Over the past three days, Ross has gradually found the direction to fully grasp Observation Haki with his own exploration and by the points recorded in the reading notes. All that is left is practicing persistently. Just as Ross stepped out of the practice room and went back to his room, intending to take a sip of water before his short rest, Robin suddenly came from around the corner. She came over with a newspaper. Captain Ross, In todays newspaper you occupied a big page. Ross took the newspaper from her hand and glanced at the part about himself. They were all official words, The crimes of a wicked pirate, being evil and so on. The government is still as rubbish as ever. He shook his head and found a new Bounty order from the bottom of the newspaper. Looking at the amount on the Bounty order, Ross smiled a little and said: 92 million Berries, at last, I am no longer a captain whose bounty is not as high as his crew. Robins bounty is 79 million Berries, which has been a bit higher than Rosss bounty and now he finally has more bounty reward than her. Robin chuckled and said, Sooner or later, Captains bounty will be even higher. The new 92 million berries bounty also caused a violent earthquake in West Blues Pirate Hunter circle. Together with Devil Child Nico Robin on board, Ghost Hand Pirates has a total bounty of 171 million Berries. This huge bounty reward undoubtedly makes countless pirate hunters eyes red with greed and it also caused tremendous jealousy in a large portion of other pirates in the West Sea. But. Even if they are jealous, no one dares to make a move against Ghost Hand Pirates. Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, a fleet of five Battleships, this lineup was completely defeated by Ross, this real terrifying record was suffocating. CHAPTER 46 GHOST SHADOW SHIP Previous ChapterNext Chapter In the Morning after three days. Ross is still practicing Observation Haki in his practice room same as before. Now his manipulation of Observation Haki is becoming more and more perfect. Hes only a short distance away from mastering this power completely. While Ross was exercising and trying to cross that short distance, Robin came to the practice room and told him that the new ship had been completely completed. Its finished. Ross grabbed the towel, wiped his neck and forehead and lightly stepped out of the swinging pile of sandbags, came to Robin and said, Come on, Lets go and have a look. They left the North Bank and walked along the familiar streets of Shipwright island and soon arrived at the new shipbuilding site on the West Bank of Shipwright island. Before they arrived, they saw all kinds of waste and sawdust everywhere. Obviously, in order to build a ship at full speed in seven days, waste and other things are left in the outer ring as there is no time to transport and dispose of it. Moving forward, a forty meters long ship came into their view as they passed through the waste. The ships hull is dark in tone, streamlined, without any particularly high cabin. The whole ship is like a long shuttle. Looking at its appearance, it can be seen that the ship is designed to absolutely crush other wide sailing ships in terms of speed. Here you are. On the starboard side of the ship, Old Fitz was making the final measurements, noticing the arrivals off Ross and Robin. He wiped the muddy sweat from his forehead and came over, he grinned and introduced the ship to Robin and Ross: Ghost Shadow Ship! As the chief Shipwright who designed the entire ship and was responsible for its construction, he is the only one who is qualified to name the ship. He guided Ross and Robin to the side of the boat, pointing to the hull design and the building path on the ship: I cut the size of the freeboard and installed vertical triangular sails. The hull is made of heavy Silverwood, strong enough to surpass any ordinary steel. Not to say whether it can reach any part of the sea, but at least among other sailing ships, no ship can surpass it in speed! Old Fitz patted his chest and showed a touch of pride. It was a ship that he had designed a long time and now it was finally built with enough money and with a perfect keel backbone. Except for those special powered Ships, none of the ships he knows can match Ghost Shadow Ship in terms of speed. What a magnificent ship. Robin looked up at the entire Ghost Shadow Ship with a glimmer of appreciation in her eyes. Ross stood next to her, smiling. He was totally uninterested in firepower and the like. What he needed was a speed-based ship, supplemented by firmness and durability. Its a great honor to have the fastest sailing ship in the world. Ross smiled. Old Fitz waved his hand and said, No, it should be. Without the Treasure Tree Adam branch you got, it would not be able to withstand the pressures of design and speed. Without the tens of millions of Berries, I would not be able to buy so many Silverwood hulls. Whats more At this point, Old Fitz looked at Robin and paused. I also hope that you can take Robin and leave the government and Marines far behind! Ross looked at Old Fitz and responded earnestly, Robin is my crew member and I am responsible for all of my crew members. Old Fitz stared at Ross and with his life experience, he could not see any sign that Ross was lying, so he grinned. All right! Dont you want to see what it looks like? Lets go and have a look! Old Fitz boarded the deck with Ross. Since the entire ship does not have too many overtop structures, the upper level of the entire hull is extremely open and it is almost parallel to the sea level and has been neatly organized There is enough room on the deck for a full dance party. Old Fitz smiled and led Ross and Robin into the cabin. The mid-level building belongs to the main body of the cabin and it is also very open. There is a hall-like room in the center, with counter sofas and other things, such as a ballroom. Simultaneously. A large practice room is also designed here, which is made up of Golden Oak and special tough steel, which is stronger than Silverwood and can withstand great pressure and weight. There are also designs in places like the study room. Although there are not many books in it, Robin still shows a sunny smile. As for the bottom layer of the ship, it is a common cargo hold that can be used to stores all kinds of things. There were not too many cannon muzzles on the hull. Together, there were only eight cannon muzzles on both sides and Ross was probably too lazy to bother with even those eight. After looking at all the rooms and the entire hull, three of them returned to the deck. Ross looked at the deck under his feet, surprised. Almost perfect. Hahaha, although I havent built a ship for many years, I havent forgotten how to built them. Old Fitz grinned and answered Rosss praise directly. After two steps, Ross turned to Old Fitz and said, This is almost a perfect ship and the only flaw I can see is that it is lacking a Shipwright. Old Fitz seemed to have guessed Ross would say that. He took the bottle out of his bosom and took a gulp of wine and intentionally went to the side of the ship and looked at the sea. But its even more awkward for an old man to be Shipwright. I didnt go to a Pirate Ship when I was young and I wont go to one when I am already this old. The Sea belongs to you young people. Having said that, he turned his head and there was a glimmer of sparkling in his eyes. I only hope that you can take this ship and take Olivias child away from the government. Ross was not surprised by Old Fitz words. Red Hair Shankss ship was designed and built by him and he didnt board Shanks Ship. The only one that can make him willing go on board as a shipwright is Robin, but the possibility is very low. Pity. Ross shook his head and stopped inviting. Old Fitz looked at Ross and Robin and laughed, then slowly walked down the gangway at a slightly faltering pace. Ross looked at the sea in the distance, his eyes twinkling for a moment as he turned to Robin and said, With a new ship, its time for us to get some new crew members. Next I need two pieces of intelligence, one about the whereabouts of Double Sword Pirates of West Blue who has a bounty of 59 million Berries, and the other for Demon Sherrif Laffittes whereabouts. This is also Ross final mission before leaving West Blue and embarking on the Grand Line. The Double Sword Pirates are the prey that Ross had chosen a long time ago. As for Demon Sherrif Laffitte, he was one of the main crew member and the Navigator of the Blackbeard Pirates in the original work. Now that we want to turn the world upside down, we can just add fire to the group by pulling an Evil Clown. Besides, Ross has always wanted to find a navigator and does not want to work as a Captain and a navigator. Every day, besides practice, he spends a lot of time observing the weather and drawing sea map. Nami is currently too small and far away in the East Blue, and Laffitte, who should be living in the West Blue, is undoubtedly a good choice for a Navigator. The only problem is how to get that person on board. At this point, Ross is not going to rush to think about it, at least he is going to meet him first. CHAPTER 47 DOUBLE SWORD AND DEMON SHERIFF Previous ChapterNext Chapter The shipbuilding area is not far from the coast. After the ship was completed and Ross and Robin saw it, Old Fitz commanded several other Shipwrights to pull the long and thick ropes towards the coast. Ross watched as they struggled to pull the ropes and shook his head and walked to the stern position, pressing one hand on the stern and pushing forward. Buzz!! Originally a large group of Shipwrights pulled the ship desperately to move it forward bit by bit. The same ship is now being pushed forward by Ross with one hand and the ship glided forward on the sand. Wow, wow! Its moving! Many Shipwrights and porters pulling the ship in front noticed that something was wrong. Looking back, they found that the whole ship was moving forward and they could not help but scream as they moved to both sides. When many Shipwrights and porters saw that it was Ross who is propping up the stern of the ship with only one hand, driving the whole ship forward, they could not help but stare at the old man. This guy Is he still human?! A single man is pushing the entire ship forward. What kind of strength it is? Only the Giants are able to do that! A short time ago, a naval battle took place near the North coast. Although the Shipwrights and porters knew about it, they did not know the exact details. They always thought that it was a group of pirates and Marines who exchanged fire and the Pirates finally killed the Marines. Crash! Ross pushed the ship to move fast. After a moment, he pressed his hands on the stern of the ship and pushed it even harder. The whole boat slammed forward, cut open the waves and went into the sea. After the ship entered the sea, Old Fitz boarded the ship again and went to the bottom of the ship to inspect it. After finding that there was no problem, he returned to the shore. The porters on the shore and the handymen on the Ross ship are rushing to carry all kinds of goods, most of which are fresh water and food, as well as other materials from the old ship. By noon, everything was finally settled. Bon Voyage! Old Fitz stood on the dock, waiving at the Ghost Shadow Ship which was gradually moving away with the wind. There was a glimmer of light in his muddy eyes and as he thought this should be the last ship he built which is heading out into the sea. Ross looked at Old Fitz on the shore, smiled as he looked at the shrinking harbor, he turned around and looked at the boundless sea in front of him. So. The worlds fastest sailing ship is here, The World Government and Marines treat me as someone who can be easily eliminated by them, I dont know if you are ready Half a month later. West Blue, Somewhere on the western edge of an island. Nico Robin came to the edge of the cliff and looked at the Ghost Shadow Ship, which was parked not far below, and jumped forward. Countless arms flew out of her arms and combined into a small wing that fanned as she fell. With a slight impact, Robin fell lightly onto the deck. You Came back so soon. Ross was sitting in front of a set of tables and chairs on the deck, watching Robin fall lightly on the deck and he leaned back on his chair and relax his leg muscles again. Thanks to my good luck. I have acquired information on both matters. Robin came over with a smile on his face. There is a reward for meritorious service. Ross sat up straight and chuckled. Robin smiled at him and said, Whats the reward? Next time you come ashore, fill up all the shelves in your study. Ross snapped his finger. Then I would have to thank Captain first. Robin slightly smiled and regained her serious expression and said to Ross, As for the Double-Sword Pirates, just yesterday, a great event happened in Yate Sea Area. The Double-Sword Pirates defeated the Marine Fleet of T6 base. Oh? Ross eyes flashed slightly and he said: These Double-Sword Pirates are good enough to defeat a Marine base Fleet of West Blue. Currently, in the West Blue, There are not many pirates who have a bounty of more than 30 million berries and because Ross has killed many of them and he even killed pirates who had a bounty of 20 million berries, the pirate force has entered a state of recession. And now in this period, the Double Sword Pirates defeated an entire Marine fleet, which is undoubtedly once again inspiring West Blues evil forces. No, its not just about strength. Robin shook her head and said with slight solemnity: It took only three years for the Double-Sword Pirates to rise up and cross the West Sea. When they defeated an entire naval fleet, it also revealed a piece of important information. What kind of information? Ross asked. Robin responded: Double Sword who is the Captain of the Double Sword Pirates has a bounty of 59 million Berries but he is not the real Captain of the Double Sword Pirates, There is a hidden existence in the Double Sword Pirates. Interesting. Ross had an interesting look on his face. Robin took a deep breath and looked solemnly: The existence behind the scene is the Captain of the Ghost Sword Pirates on the Grand Line Ghost Sword! Three years ago, The Ghost Sword Pirates were ambushed and defeated by Marines in the Grand Line. Marines claimed that The Ghost Sword Pirates had been destroyed by their whole army. But the Captain of The Ghost Sword Pirates did not die, but fled the Grand Line and returned to the West Blue. As a behind-the-scenes presence, he created The Double Sword Pirates. His former bounty is 98 million Berries! At this point, Robin looked seriously at Ross and said, Shall we change our plan and not collide head-on with The Double-Sword Pirates? She knew that Ross was eyeing the Double-Sword Pirates, but The Double-Sword Pirates were obviously a big problem. Their Captain could escape to the West Blue under the Marine encirclement and then he supported West Blues Top Pirate Group. His mind and strength are obviously not to be underestimated. No, We are still going ahead according to the original plan. Ross chuckled and said, If we are going to change our plans because of someone who got defeated on the Grand Line, then how can we go to the Grand Line? Robin knew that she could not possibly change Ross decision, She did not reveal any unexpected expression. Instead, She smiled and said: Then theres the second information, about Demon Sherrif Laffitte, a former security officer who was deported by the state because of abuse of his authority Coincidentally, this former Sheriff and the position of the Double Sword Pirates are on the same sea. Isnt that just right? Ross stood up and took out the sea map: Its better to accomplish two goals at once. Where are they? Water Gold sea, Robin responded softly. Ross nodded and looked at the sea map, he took out the compass and judged their position. He said, Its not far. At the speed of Ghost Shadow Ship, if we go at full speed, we can reach that sea in about five days. So turn the rudder, hang the sails, lets go to the Water Gold sea! CHAPTER 48 ARRIVAL Previous ChapterNext Chapter Damn! Why bother appearing again and again in West Blue! In Vice-Admirals office in Marine Headquarters, Doberman looked at a document on his desk, listened to the reports from his subordinates and couldnt help but yell at it. Previously, because of Ghost Hand Ross, he was reprimanded by Akainu and was almost driven out of Marine Headquarters to pursue Ross himself. Now, only half a month after Ross incident,Double-Sword Pirates emerged. To replace the Captain with a fake, that bunch of bastards from the G8 branch base! After reading the report carefully, Doberman could not help but shout angrily at the G8 base on Grand Line. Apparently, the G8 branch base defeated Ghost Sword Pirates but failed to capture the Captain Ghost Sword. Someone grabbed a fake one to replace the original for military merits. Now that things have been revealed, the other side has directly put forward the push-off method, indicating that they do not know anything. Under such circumstances, it is impossible to directly dismiss the responsible Marines from their posts and prosecute them and at the worst, they would be criticized for being tricked by pirates and some of their military merits are going to be deducted. Vice Admiral Doberman, what should we do? Unless a base commander on the Grand Line leads the team, the problem known as The Ghost-Hand Pirates will not be solved at all. The Double-Sword Pirates are also difficult for anyone in the West Blue to deal with. A Rear Admiral, who oversees the West Blue, asks a question. It is impossible to dispatch a Grand Lines Vice-Admiral to the West Blue, which will cause problems in the deployment of the Grand Line forces and the Admirals will not agree with it. Dobermans hand slammed on his forehead. On one hand, is The Double Sword Pirates, and on another is much more troublesome pirates which are The Ghost Hand Pirates. He never thought that the West Blue would be so difficult to deal with. Just then, a Rear Admiral next to him suddenly thought of something and whispered, Vice Admiral Doberman, after The Ghost Hand Pirates replaced their ship in the Shipwright town, their latest course seemed to coincide strangely with that of Double Sword Pirates Oh? Doberman was slightly shocked, thinking about Ross whereabouts. He knew that Ross targets both Marine and Pirate, which made him think a little. If the Ghost-Hand Pirates and the Double-Sword Pirates encounter each other, they may fight to kill each other and it is likely that both of them will be injured, then there may be a slight chance for us Let the nearest West Blue branch be ready to monitor their actions and always supervise their actions, Let the orders be clear that no one is going to act without authorization! Yes! The Rear Admiral replied. Ghost Shadow Ship, practice room. More than ten heavy sandbags of different sizes were hanging there and swinging constantly. Ross had his eyes closed, but as if he could see in all directions, he avoided every sandbag with great precision. More than half a month has passed since Ghost Shadow Ship was built and Ross Observation Haki has been thoroughly mastered. In The Talent Systems Interface, Observation Hakis branches have become activated gold. Today, he alternates between ten or more sandbags, which is as simple as eating and drinking water for him. Even if it is bullets, He can easily avoid them by using Observation Haki. Other than that. Ross has not put down his Physical Strength Strengthening exercise and the Devil Fruit ability exercise, Distortion Fruit and Physical fitness have slightly improved, His power of distortion range has become a little larger. Distribution Fruit, a Devil Fruit, seems to have innumerable development capabilities in The Talents Tree of The Talent System, but it is not so simple to operate in practice. Ross tried to develop the Gravity Distortion ability without the systematic upgrade of the system but he ultimately failed. His Power of Distortion could not even touch the imaginary gravity. Obviously, it is very difficult to shift from the material distortion to distorting illusory forces. Without The Talent System, it would probably be impossible to do it at all, just like Whitebears Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), no matter how powerful it is, it will not shatter the real space and time. It will only shatter the atmosphere. But Ross was able to Distort the direction of the sound. Ross has made a little progress. The doppelg?nger phantom has become much more confusing. Compared with gravity, the sound is still more traceable. Almost there. Ross exercised for a while in the practice room with constantly swaying sandbags, then he walked out of it and came to the corner of the room, with several extremely heavy loads on his back and started to do simple push-ups and squats. He had previously thought about using Seastone to exercise, but when he killed Capone Bege, he forgot to collect Seastone poles and bullets. Later, it became very troublesome to buy them again. After several islands, they could not even be bought on the underground black market. Hu! Hu! In the constant ups and downs, Ross, who was naked in the upper body, began to sweat which dripped constantly on the cold floor. The weight he carries is a very special mineral material in the world. It is very sturdy, but its weight is higher than that of steel. A small piece of this material weight similar to a large piece of steel. With his current physical ability, carrying a large load of this weight on him is also a very effective method to exercise. One hundred and thirty-one, one hundred and thirty-two Ross kept counting in his mind. Half an hour later. After a thousand push-ups, Ross got up and drank some water. After ten minutes of rest, he started another thousand practice squats. His training for physical fitness was one group at a single time and one thousand of it. When a thousand squats were done, even with his physical strength, he was breathless, so after a little rest, he took a shower and suspended practicing. Leaving the practice room, Ross arrived on the upper deck. Robin was sitting on one side of the deck reading elegantly, while the ships handyman was busy cleaning the deck, afraid to become lazy. We will reach The Gold Water sea in one day. Ross came to the place where Robin was sitting, took out the compass and the sea map and put it on the table. After measuring it for a while, he judged their current position and asked Robin: What about the islands there? According to the collective intelligence, Water Gold sea is a chaotic sea. There are no countries. There are twenty-one islands, one of which is a large island, six medium-sized islands, and the other fourteen are small islands. Robin made a statement about the information on the Water Gold sea, which she had collected before and combined with Ross sea map judgment, she quickly determined the location of each island. Ross bypassed a small island in front of him and pointed to a medium-sized Island Island in the rear. This small island only has one small town so we dont need to go there This is a chaotic sea without a country, here the forces of Underground are complex and any kind of information can be easily obtained. Robin nodded. Two days later, Ghost Shadow Ship arrived at the designated Island and anchored near a remote cliff. Ross and Robin went towards the island to collect more information. The collection of information was easier than he imagined, Although neither of them had gathered any information about the exact location of Demon Sherrif Laffitte, the location of the Double-Sword Pirates was determined. CHAPTER 49 ATTENTION Previous ChapterNext Chapter Water Island. This sea is called the Water Gold Sea because of the names of the two largest islands here, one is called Water and the other one is called Gold. Among them, Gold Island is the largest island, which is large enough to accommodate a country, while Water island is second only to the Gold Island, which can be measured between a medium-sized Island and a large size island. Ross and Robin boarded the island and were walking down the street. The street style here is very dark. Whether it is a pedestrian or a beggar who is kneeling in the corner, their eyes are fierce. Compared to Kano Country, which is still somewhat orderly, here is a pure disorderly zone. Some of the Underground forces of the West Blue controls the situation here and the Capone Family was originally one of them. However, due to their heavy losses against Ross, their power has dropped and they have already withdrawn from here. Bang! Suddenly, a gun firing sound came from the front causing countless people on the street to show vigilant eyes as they noticed a thin man with a gun in his hand and a strong man lying in a pool of blood in front of him. He sneered twice and turned away. Sure enough, its a Lawless place. Ross said plainly as both Ross and Robin have been in the dark world of the Underground and these types of situations are nothing new to them so they were not surprised. After walking for a while, they came to a busy street. Ross looked around and said, Lets gather information separately and come back here in half an hour. No problem. Robin lowered her hat and gently nodded. Although she rarely trains, Ross occasionally points out various methods to develop her devil fruit. Now she has no problem dealing with pirates with a bounty of 20 or 30 million berries and because of the special abilities of her devil fruit, she can completely ignore large scale battles. Ross and Robin separated. After walking for a while, he saw a tavern in front of him. He put his hands in his pockets and went to the counter to order a glass of wine. He asked casually: I heard that Double Sword Pirates have appeared on this town recently? Shh! Behind the counter, a beautiful woman was startled when she heard Ross words. After putting the wine in, she lowered her voice and whispered, What do want?. Ross smiled and put two gold coins on the table and said, Just want to inquire about it. It seems that you know something. The price of a glass of wine here is at most one silver coin. When she sees two gold coins, the womens eyes suddenly started to shine and she showed smiled at Ross, She accepted the two gold coins without any hesitation. Then she leans slightly down and muffles her voice: They came here two days ago and fought with many people when they left. They killed dozens of people. The bodies were everywhere and It took a long time to clean them up. It was a group of terrifying guys Its said that even an entire Marines fleet was destroyed by them. Speaking of this, the women paused and looked at Ross sitting there wearing a leather cap showing only half of his face and whispered, They seem to be recruiting people near the West Bank. It is said that one needs to have some strength to join them. You are not planning to join them, are you?. Near the West Bank? Thank you very much. Ross took a sip of wine, stood up and looked up to the women behind the counter and Slightly smiled before saying As for me joining them they cant afford it. As his voice dropped, Ross turned and left the tavern. The women looked at Ross back and her eyes widened slightly, as Ross stepped out of the tavern, she suddenly reacted and grabbed a stack of wanted posters beside the table and turned them upside down one by one and quickly pulled out one of them, looking at the familiar face she could not help breathing a cold breath. The bounty of 92 million Berries Ghost Hand Ross! In the past two days, the two most terrifying Pirates of West Blue have arrived on this island. Today, The Ghost Hand Pirates and The Double Sword Pirates are far superior to other Pirates in The West Blue. If they collide, it would definitely cause a big event that will alarm the entire West Blue! At the Separation point. Ross came back here early and waited a moment before he saw Robin coming from the other direction. She came to Ross and lowered her voice and said: Double Sword Pirates are recruiting people at their large fleet stationed near the West Bank, Demon Sherrif Laffitte It is said that someone has seen him in this town in the last few days. Oh? Laffitte is here too? Ross looked at Robin unexpectedly and thought a little. Then he said:Its just right that the normal people of the island hear that Ghost Hand Ross is confronting the Double-Sword Pirates. Theres no reason to avoid this big scene. Lets go directly to the West Bank. Robin nodded as Ross thought exactly the same as her. ! Ross flicked his finger and he pushed his cap down from the front and moved forward. Almost everyone on the street is wearing rags and the atmosphere is depressed and dark, almost everyone is staring at the two people on the street, As Ross and Robin, who are dressed up in a different way are naturally the focus of their attention. When Ross flicked on the top of his hat, he stared at various people in secret and he could hear shocked sound coming from many corners of the street. That guy is Ghost Hand Ross! Its really him! Almost at the same moment, the atmosphere of the street changed dramatically. Ross and Robin walked forward and nobody dared to stand in their way. They all retreated back on both sides. Most people did not even dare to look at Ross for fear of causing trouble. Compared to the Captain of Double Sword Pirates, who has been anonymous for many years, the name of the Ghost Hand that recently swept through West Blue is undoubtedly more awe-inspiring and fearful. The streets became unobstructed. Ross took Robin across the street and headed all the way towards the West Bank. Those who could sense Ross direction along the way could not help but think of something and stare at their back shocked. They seem to begoing towards the West Bank! What is there in the West Bank? Most people are very clear that the Double Sword Pirates are recruiting powerful people to board ships in the West Bank. Will Ghost Hand Ross is going to join the Double Sword Pirates? The answer is no doubt a no! It is rumored that the Captain of Ghost Hand Pirates, Ghost Hand Ross has always had the hobby of hunting the strong. West Blue originally had a large number of pirates with the bounty of more than 20 or 30 million berries and he killed most of them, So far, no new person has come up to take their positions. Now that Ghost Hand Ross is heading towards the West Bank to find the Double Sword Pirates, His goal is already clear to most. He most likely regards the Double-Sword Pirates, which regained the first position of West Blue, as prey!! Ghost Hand Ross is going after The Double Sword Pirates? This is big news! If they fought, the outcome is really hard to predict. One is a person who killed a Rear Admiral that was sent by the Marine Headquarters and the other person has been to the Grand Line Many people looked at Rosss back and murmured with a tremor in their hearts. I think that Ghost Hand Ross has a better chance of winning. It was a Marines Headquarters Rear Admiral that he destroyed recently and not a branch Rear Admiral that other Pirates destroyed. Someone spoke quietly. One person shook his head and replied, Ghost Swords bounty is 98 million Berries, and this was three years ago, on the other hand, Ghost Hand Ross has never been to the Grand Line! Grand Line is known as the Pirate Graveyard. Many of the most powerful pirates in the East, West, North, and the South Blue couldnt do anything in the Grand Line and they died there. Ghost Sword entered the Grand Line and had a bounty of 98 million Berries, then he returned to the West Blue, His strength is undoubtedly terrible. As Ross moved closer to the West Bank, even the Underground forces, who controlled the island, were shaken by the news. For a time. The eyes of the whole island are focused on West Bank CHAPTER 50 RECRUITING Previous ChapterNext Chapter About ten miles away from the island, a Battleship slowly stops there The highest officer of the Battleship, A Rear Admiral of the West Blue branch, put his hands on the guardrails of the deck and looked far in the direction of the island where only one black spot could be seen. His expressions are extremely tense and grave. Do we have eyes on The Ghost Hand Pirates and Double Sword Pirates Headquarters ordered him to remain on standby here. Once there was a situation where both sides were wounded or one side died and one side was seriously injured, he would immediately appear and suppress both sides down so he could not help feeling nervous. If he could finish the mission, He would acquire enough military credits to get him transferred to Headquarters as a Rear Admiral and it would not be a big problem to become a Vice-Admiral after a few years. Although its shameful to watch Pirate kill each other and take advantage of their situation, history is always written by the winners. Once the mission is completed, it can be reported to the world that a Marine defeated the Ghost Hand Pirates and Double Sword Pirates. On the West Bank of the island. There arent many ships docked here, because there are three large ships at the dock that are comparable in size to Marine Battleship, all flying the flag of Pirates with two swords. Unlike Ross elite route, the Double-Sword Pirates follows a fleet route, with a large enough number of people and large sailing ships to fight head-on with any general Battleship. Naturally. Although the number of pirates of the Double Sword Pirates is huge, not everyone can be recruited and at the very least they must have a certain level of strength to join. At this moment, there are many pirates of Double Swords Pirates and many people trying to join them. In the middle of the field, a strong pirate with a long scar is standing. As long as you can take three punches from me and still stand, you can join us. Who else wants to try?! His hands were folded in front of him, his head held high as he stood there with imposing manners. People gathered here looked at each other and soon someone came out of the crowd on their own initiative and put on a guarded stance, and said, Will we really be able to join the crew by taking three punches? Yes, my strength is generally average on board, so it will suffice if you can block my three punches It looks like you are ready. The pirate grinned and suddenly showed a fierce expression. He stepped forward and punched the man who tried to join. Boom! The man tried to block the blow by folding his arms in front of him, but the force of the punch was obviously beyond his expectation. Under the punch, the bones on his arms cracked and he flew backward, bleeding out of his mouth. What, so weak. The fist-wielding pirate saw this scene and he was very disappointed by the results and then looked at the others with a grin and said, Who else wants to try it? Our Double-Sword Pirates are going to the Grand Line soon. This is your last chance to join us! All the people gathered here looked at each other for a while, and many of their faces showed fear. After hesitation, they retreated and did not go up. Some people are eager to join the Double Sword Pirates, but the rule of blocking three punches of the pirate in front of them left them discouraged. No one?! The pirate stood there with an expression of discontent on his face. Yesterday another man stood here alone, but there have been many people who have come up to challenge him. Today, its his turn and no one has come up to fight. As soon as they come up, you break all of their bones with your strongest punch. Only someone who has muscles for a brain would dare to come up. Pirates were laughing and scolding at him behind his back. Ah? Is that true? The pirate grabbed his hair and showed a trace of embarrassment, but still forced his mouth to say: The last punch was not my strongest, anyway I cant help but use all my strength and that guy is not qualified to join us. Just as the group of Pirates laughed at each other, a sudden new crowd gathered behind the already existing crowd. A young man in a leather cap separated from the crowd and walked all the way forward. Every persons eyes quickly looked at him. Oh? Someone is coming up. Then the Pirate turned and looked at Ross, who was slightly thinner than he was, with his stout arms in front of him, he grinned: This time I will not use my full strength. At the moment his voice fell, a bloodthirsty look flashed through his eyes and he swung a fierce punch at Ross, saying that he wouldnt use his full strength, but the current punch is not any bit weaker than the previous punch. Boom! Just when many people thought that Ross was going to fly out by blocking the punch like the previous one, the pirates punch was slammed and steadily accepted and Ross only slightly raised his hand to block it. This Blocked?! The crowd of onlookers showed surprise. It was surprising that Ross, who was not well-built, could block such a heavy punch with one hand. Obviously, it was somewhat incredible! Many of the pirates leaning towards the shore were stunned and they were surprised. They didnt expect that anyone could block the punch of the big man so easily. Quickly. One of the many pirates stepped into the arena. He was a Double-Sword Pirates cadre in charge of receiving new members. Ross could block the big mans full punch with one hand so he will be able to block the remaining two punches easily. Obviously, he was fully qualified to join them. Hey! Whats your name? Ross. Ross responded plainly. The cadres of Pirates slightly frowned, he thought that the name was somewhat familiar, but he grinned: Ross? Congratulations, you can join our Double-Sword Pirates! However. As he said this, suddenly there was a silence in the field. All the voices seemed to be pinched, and if a needle fell to the ground at this moment it could be heard clearly. In this silence, the atmosphere gradually became strange. No one was shocked, no one was envious and countless pairs of eyes stared at Ross in the field. Their eyes were constantly changing. Most of them were stunned as if they had seen something incredible. There was silence. Did you make a mistake? Ross calmly looked at the Pirates cadre in front of him and said: When did I say I wanted to join you, or say Are you going to invite me as a Captain? In the past, if someone dared to say this many pirates will immediately kill him, but now with the strange atmosphere in the field, the cadre and the pirates of the Double Sword Pirates are also aware that something is wrong. He looked at Ross face and his smile faded away. A drop of cold sweat gradually overflowed from his forehead and slowly flowed down to his cheek. You you are CHAPTER 51 DOUBLE SWORD DURLO T Previous ChapterNext Chapter I have already said my name, but most people like to call meGhost Hand. Ross gentle said and as his voice fall, his five fingers slightly exerted themselves. Kch! Kch! A strange force spread along his fingertips. The horrified eyes of the big pirate who was punched by Ross was instantly filled with pain. A scream was stiffly strangled in his throat but before he could call it out, His bones made a few twisting sounds as he turned into a pool of mud and fell to the ground. Hiss! The surrounding crowd took a cold breath in fear seeing this horrifying scene, All the people gathered here are involuntarily retreating. In a flash, a large open space opened up. Ghost Hand Ross The Double Sword Pirates cadres looked sweaty at the young man in front of him. If he could not recognize Ross at this time, he would not be a cadre of The Double Sword Pirate Group. Looking at the tragic situation of the big man, he gritted his teeth and said, There is no interactions between Double Swords Pirates and your Ghost Hand Pirates. Are you looking for war? The person who punches me will naturally die. Ross easily said and at the same time, he retracted his hand which was being stared at in horror by countless people. It looked plain, but it was the palm of the Ghost Hand. He looked calmly at the two Double Sword Pirates in front of him and said, As for war If you are willing to surrender, theres no need to go to war. Submission? What a joke The cadres of the Double Swords Pirates, gritted his teeth. He also had a bounty of 10 million berries on his head. But before the Ghost Hand, his body was still stiff and oppressed. It was difficult to pull out his weapon while facing Ross directly. Ross slowly walked forward, extending a hand and pressing towards the head of the cadre of the Double Sword Pirates. His eyes were calmed as he said: If you dont want to surrender, you can die. The cadre and the other pirates of the Double Sword Pirates wanted to pull out their weapons to resist, but they were stiff and their instinct wanted them to run away. Their legs were filled with lead. They could not move at all. They watched as Ross hands press down. At this moment, two swords made of energy suddenly came from the direction of the shore and shrouded Ross figure in the sword energy. Kch! Ross stretched out his hand and slanted, accurately shooting at the point where the two sword energies intersected and the two longitudinal sword energies twisted and broke instantly. A man with two slender swords in his hand and wearing white ceremonial cloths appeared on the shore and slowly walked towards them. Its not good to bully my subordinates, Ghost Hands Ross! With his appearance, the atmosphere in the field suddenly changed. Captain of the Double Sword Pirates Double Sword Durlot! Some people whispered in fear. Before Ross was born and the Ghost Sword appeared, Durlot was the first pirate to hold the highest bounty in the West Blue. Later, Ross swept the West Blue and Ghost Sword emerged from behind the scenes. His name was gradually obscured. But there is no doubt that the Captain of the Double Sword Pirates was once the strongest pirate in West Blue and he still has that fearsome strength and reputation! Suspended bounty of 59 million Berries, Double Swords Durlot If I was still a Pirate Hunter, I might be interested in your head, as for now Ross said in a gentle tone and as his voice fell, a strange force suddenly spread from his legs and poured into the earth. Puff! On the ground just ahead of Ross, the soil suddenly twisted and surged, wrapping the cadre of the Double-Sword Pirates rescued by Durlot in it and squeezing him into the center in horror. Looking at this scene, the expression of the Double-Sword Durlot instantly cooled down. He stopped and looked at Ross and coldly said: All those who dare to provoke the Double Sword Pirates are dead. Thats a coincidence. Ross suddenly smiled and said: What I want to do now is either destroy you or be destroyed by you. Very Good! Double Sword Durlot was angry and the image of Ross in his eyes has become that of a madman. He coldly said: When you go to the Grand Line, you will probably have to fight with me. In that case, Its better to win or lose in West Blue! The moment his voice fell, he inserted the two swords back into their sheaths at his waist, then suddenly stepped forward and pulled them out at a nearly invisible speed. Two sword flow, Iaijutsu(Quick Draw)! !! !! Two extremely fast sword energies flew towards Ross position intending to cut him directly into pieces. They are Fighting! I dont know who will win. Seeing the Double-Sword Durlot and Ghost Hand Ross finally started to fight, the large crowd that has long since withdrawn towards a long distance away as they looked at the fight between Ross and Durlot from afar, They can not help but reveal a bit of tension and attention. Although Ross bounty has gone up to 92 million Berries and his name is feared in the West Blue, The Double-Sword Durlot is not an easy opponent and both of their strength and names are famous so no one knew who will be the winner. On the field. Two swords of energy surged in. In terms of sword energy alone, the power behind the two swords is not far from that of Onigumos, but there is Armament Haki involved in Onigumos attack, which is far from Durlots. So for Ross, this type of sword energy is almost no threat. Zi Zi! Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Ross raised his hand and pointed it directly at the center of the intersection of the two sword energy, the two flying sword energies were forcibly contained and after a slight distortion, they turned into many small light spots. This time, many people are shocked and their pupils shrank sharply, revealing an incredible look. My attack Looking at this scene, Durlots face also showed some surprise. His attack, no matter in terms of speed or power, was almost the fastest but Ross not only responded to it. He also easily resisted it. Ghost Hand Ross strength is somewhat unfathomable! Sand coffins. After blocking Durlots attack, Ross opened his palm and gave it a direct shake. In addition to the Light Distortion, Distribution Fruits ability can only be extended by conduction of matter and in this beach environment, the power of distortion can naturally be spread far and wide with the help of sand! Crash-Bang! The sand beneath Durlots feet suddenly twisted and surged, twisting and twisting toward him. Weird tricks. As Ross had just killed his subordinate cadres with this trick, Durlot was on guard but he still felt troubled by the sudden entanglement of sand. He rushed out of the scattered the sand without giving the sand a chance to wrap him up. He charged directly towards Ross. Two swords flow Fury Slash! He put the two swords horizontally and rushed toward Ross. The two sword energy were mixed together and turned into a powerful sword energy sweep. Is this your strongest attack? Rosss voice was calm when he faced the sword energy sweep. He reached out with both hands and grasped the energy forcibly between his hands, then squeezed it toward the center. Buzz!! Under the influence of Distortion Fruit, the grand sword energy was expelled into a ball of glittering light consisting of sword filaments. The next moment, Ross held the sword ball in one hand as he stepped out in one step directly transforming into a shadow as he charges towards Durlot. CHAPTER 52 GHOST SWORD YARROW Previous ChapterNext Chapter Durlot was sure that he was not Ross opponent when Ross defeated his attack empty-handed. He did not hesitate to step back when he saw Ross rushing towards him. But. Just as he pulled back, the sand under his feet rushed towards him, wrapping around his ankles. Although he broke away from the entanglement of the sand, he was delayed for some time and Ross had already rushed up to him and pressed the sword energy ball down on him. ! Durlots pupils contracted sharply as he could not avoid Ross attack. He could only bite his teeth and roar, laying his swords crosswise in front of him and cut hard at the sword energy ball. Zi Zi Zi! The sword chopped on the ball of sword energy that was crushed by the power of distortion, A sharp sizzling sound came from the sword like fire being mixed in the water. Durlots two swords trembled with his arms as they were under tremendous pressure. About two seconds later, Ross pressed the sword energy ball, which Durlot did his best to resist, finally, the energy of the ball was exhausted its powers and broke into many light spots. Durlot was relieved. But. Nearly the next moment, Ross fingers were gently placed in the middle of Durlots two swords and he pinched those swords with his fingers. With a buzz, a twisting force erupted and spread up along the blade and covering Durlot with it. Not good! Durlot was shocked and hurriedly released the handle of the sword, but he was still affected by the power of distortions. His bones and muscles twisted and his whole arms blew up and blood flew out. The Double Sword Durlot is defeated There was absolutely no need to fight, He is weak compared to Ross. Someone whispered and there was a bit of shock in his eyes. From Ross fight with Durlot and to Durlots defeat, there were only a few attacks. Even looking at the crowd from afar, most of them are more optimistic about Ross victory, but this quick scene of the victory and defeat still made many people surprised. Ross is stronger than Durlot! Cough! Cough! Blood spilled from Durlots mouth without stopping. Looking into Ross eyes, he finally showed fear as he struggled to get up. Ross didnt intend to give the loser a chance to survive.With a gentle step under his feet, the sand and gravel on the shore surged like a wave, wrapping the struggling Durlot in it. Immediately afterward. Ross reached out his hand in Durlots direction and shook it violently in the air. Boom! A frightening and palpitating voice sounded in the sand as if it had broken something, blood slowly overflowed from the twisted sand and there were no signs of life. At the same time, Ross ear sounded a familiar system sound. Hanging bounty of 59 million Berries, Double-Sword Durlot has been defeated, received a reward of 70 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Point. This is the first time Ross had killed a pirate whose bounty is between 50 million and 100 million Berries. There are a lot of Talent Proficiency points and even 1 Free Talent Point. After killing Double-Sword Durlot, Ross ignored the horrified and fearful eyes in the distance and looked up at a ship on the shore, precisely to the top of the mast of the ship. There. A man wearing a cloak and carrying a sword is sitting there quietly. He is the behind-the-scenes controller of the Double Sword Pirates, With a bounty of 98 million Berries, Ghost Sword Yarrow! Even when Durlot was defeated and erased by Ross, he did not make a move but sat there with looking at the fight with great interest, He was looking at Ross. Very soon. The crowd in the far field also turned their heads with Ross eyes, looking up at the top of the mast of a ship on the coast and they saw a figure clad in a cloak. Ghost SwordYarrow! Someone called out the name of the man clad in the cloak subconsciously. At the same time, he took a deep breath and showed awe on his face. In this Great Age of Pirates, there is almost no one that doesnt know the existence of the Grand Line and for most of the people, the Grand Line is a place where legends and nightmares coexist. West Blue is one of the origins of pirates. In the past decade, there have been countless pirates of all kinds, but it is only Red Hair Shanks that has become famous and more powerful on the Grand Line! Even to the extent that. More than 95% of the Pirates fell on the Grand Line and were buried there, becoming a signpost and warning signs for later generations. Like the Ghost Sword Yarrow, He is one of the pirates who made a name for themselves on the Grand Line and then returned to the West Blue,Looking at the entire West Blue only a few have accomplished this feat. Very good, very good. Ghost Sword Yarrow, clad in a cloak, sat at the top of the mast of the ship and looked at Ross. Suddenly, he smiled slightly and jumped down from the mast and landed on the shore. Ghost Sword Yarrow, who fell to the shore, was less than 30 meters away from Ross. He walked up to Ross and stopped about ten meters away from him, without even looking at Durlots body buried in the sand. It seems that you dont care about your crew. Ross looked at the calm expressions on Ghost Sword Yarrows face who was standing 10 meters away and said. Ghost Sword shook his head and said: No it should be said that no one has been removed from my list of crew. At this point, he paused and looked at Ross with great interest and said, If you can kill Durlot so easily, youre far more powerful than most of the waste from the West Blue, so Your goal must be the Grand Line? Ross looked at the young man in the cloak and did not reply. Instead, he calmly opened his mouth and said, If you come here just to say such nonsense then I dont think you need to waste more of your time. Hey. Ghost Sword Yarrow snorted and said disapprovingly: Why are you so anxious, we have plenty of time before entering the Grand Line. What I want to tell you is the horrors of the Grand Line are far more terrible then you can imagine. Even if a large fleet is formed, there is a danger that the whole army will disappear at any time. Now in the West Blue, the only worthwhile pirate in the new generation that I can see is you. Are you interested in a partnership? Not interested. Rosss tone was flat. Ghost Sword Yarrow grabbed his hair and looked at Ross seriously. He said: I am very serious. It is just a partnership. Our status will be equal. Dont you want to consider it? Speaking of this, he shrugged helplessly and said, I really dont want to Kill a talented newcomer like you in West Blue. CHAPTER 53 ROSS VS GHOST SWORD YARROW Previous ChapterNext Chapter As his voice fell, the atmosphere in the field suddenly changed and the gentleness and repression suddenly became sharp and harsh. At this moment. Whether it is the Double Sword Pirates or the people of the small town, they cant help but stare at the duo in front of their eyes, revealing a look of incomparable attention and tension. Ghost Sword Yarrow invited Ghost Hand Ross into a partnership with him, which was enough to set off a huge wave of news in the West Blue and the last semi-threatening remark also showed the arrogance and domineering attitude of Ghost Sword Yarrow, the pirate who survived the Grand Line. Partner with you Ross looked calm and said with a slightly longer tone. Just as Ghost Sword Yarrow smiled and thought that Ross was going to accept his offer, the latter part of Ross sentence came out lightly. Didnt you escape the Grand Line with your tail between your legs? Ghost Sword Yarrows smile solidified on his face, his face gradually became depressed and cold, palpitating and even if someone looked at him from far away, he would still feel a sharp chill on their body. For him, the failure to break through from the Marine Fleet on the Grand Line and be forced to flee back to the West Blue to reconstitute his fleet anonymously was the greatest shame he had ever suffered and the most unacceptable thing he had ever done. Very good. You have great courage as expected of someone who killed a Rear Admiral of the Marine Headquarters. You really are good and I wanted you to join me, well it was worth a shot but unfortunately, you will be killed here Slowly, he pulled out a red monstrous sword from his back. His eyes were cruel and fierce and as he looked at Ross a fierce and evil momentum surged up in them In the face of the cruel and oppressive wicked momentum, Ross expression is always the same as before. It seems that there was no emotion in his eyes and he was totally unaffected. If you can do it, then try it. Whiz! Almost at the moment when Ross voice fell, Ghost Sword Yarrow shot out. His Battle style was quite different from that of his predecessors, He was extremely decisive and ferocious. After failing to recruit Ross, he immediately decided to kill Ross in the West Blue, killing a disaster now to save future troubles in the Grand Line journey. Sneer! Before he reached Ross, his sword came out. Ghost Sword Yarrow is surprisingly fast, almost a quarter faster than Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo, which is a little bit beyond Ross expectations, but only a little. Bang! Faced with a sudden rush to the front and the incredibly fast sword of Ghost Sword Yarrow, Ross had already launched the observation Haki earlier and he fully captured Yarrows actions, he mobilized the power of distortion in advance and punched out. With the Ross fist, the power of distortion slammed into Ghost Sword Yarrow blood colored swords energy. Ghost Sword Yarrow was evidently less powerful than Ross in terms of pure power and was directly pushed back. What? For Ross to be able to react to his sudden attack and make a precise response, it is a bit beyond Ghost Sword Yarrows expectations, although he did not use his maximum speed, It looked like Ross also did not put much effort in his attack. After a punching Ghost Sword Yarrow back, Ross raised his foot and stepped lightly. The ground suddenly surged under his feet and the sand rushed toward Ghost Sword Yarrow. I have already seen through your attacks and it will have no effect on me. Ghost Sword Yarrow recovered from Ross unexpected reaction speed. Faced with Ross counter-attack, he did not panic but hummed softly. He stepped on his feet and suddenly turned into a shadow, passing through the sand at a tremendous speed. Do you know why I am called Ghost Sword? Not because of sword arts, but because of my footwork and speed, no one can see through it. GhostSteps! Shi! Shi! Shi! Just as Ghost Sword Yarrows voice fell, three blood sword energies were suddenly fired from three different directions towards Ross in the center. It was a sword energy attack that Ghost Sword Yarrow performed from three different directions in an instant with his speed! Ohh? Its a good speed, but still Its too slow. Faced with three sword energy attacks from three directions, Ross responded in a calm tone and with a few slight twists of his body, he almost magically passed through the gap between the three sword energies. Three blood sword energy cuts on the four sides of the beach and the surrounding sand has a huge crack of about 20 or 30 meters. Its totally invisible What kind of speed is that? The brief confrontation between Ross and Yarrow dazzled all the Double Sword Pirates and the people of the small town. After Yarrows Ghost Steps which is similar to soru, his figure has completely disappeared in most peoples eyes. Even those who have some strength can hardly see a trace his shadow and they cant respond to it. Yarrows speed is astonishing and Ross way of avoiding the attacks is also shocking. He wriggles his body in such a way that he avoided three sharp sword energy attacks from three different directions. This level of Battle, they cant understand it anymore. I dont know which side will win I Cant guess. Many people show concern and nervousness, Ghost Hand and Ghost Sword, these two represent the peak pirate forces of the West Blue. No other pirate can compare with them and the outcome of this battle will undoubtedly determine the true power of the West Blue. This level of pirates, if they dont go to the Grand Line and stay in West Blue, they are completely capable of ruling this part of the sea! On the field. Ross faced Ghost Sword Yarrow, who was flashing around him and judged that his opponent speed was weaker than his. Instead of using soru and chasing him, Ross calmly urged power of distortion Doppelg?nger technique. Buzz!! Rosss figure flickered for two moments and four identical Ross figures appeared in the field. From a distance, there was no real difference between them. The four figures, together with the real body, stood in four corners, facing towards the outside and greeted the ghostly figure that flashed. Phantom Images? Troublesome tricks. Ghost Sword Yarrow, who was walking around in a ghostly way, looked at the four identical figures in the field and frowned. He couldnt use Observation Haki so he could only test them one by one. But when he tried to attack one, the four Ross figure lifted their feet at the same time, and the raging dust and sand rose wildly, sweeping in all directions. Whiz! Whiz! In the dusty sand, Ghost Sword Yarrows vision was greatly affected and four Ross figures flashed back and forth in the dust, which made him a little disoriented. Not only does he have to judge whether Rosss figure is real or not, but he also has to avoid being entangled in the sand covered by a strange force and the speed advantage he has is no longer exists. 54 FLOWING SAND- WATERFALL STREAM Previous ChapterNext Chapter In the dusty sand, the afterimages are constantly flickering and from time to time, there comes a sound of a sword. Occasionally, sword energy cuts through the diffuse dust and falls on the coastline, cutting a deep crack in the beach. Abominable. Ghost Sword Yarrow swung his sword and passed through a phantom doppelg?nger of Ross. After sensing the disturbance behind him, he couldnt help but curse and chop back with his sword reflexively. During the collision between the two, the distortion force clashed with the blood red sword, His sword wined sadly and even his arms were sour and numb. Whiz! Ghost Sword Yarrow barely blocked Ross punch. Without hesitation, he retreated more than ten meters away from Ross and swapped his sword to his left hand before shaking his right hand forcefully several times, which alleviated the feeling of sour numbness. He couldnt use Haki and his endurance for the power of distortions is much weaker than Onigumos. If Ross hadnt dispersed some of the power of distortion to control sand and his phantom images, this punch would have destroyed his arm. I Cant fight this guy in close combat. Rosss strength was somewhat out of his expectation. He and Ross fought three or four times in front of each other. Each time he was attacked by that weird force. If he hadnt been blitzing every time, he would have withdrawn decisively when he was exhausted. Im afraid my arm is half-useless at the moment. Sigh! Ghost Sword Yarrow dared not confront Ross head-on, he began to use sword energy and launch long-range attacks against Ross, but because of the dust and the phantom doppelganger, he could not carry out his attack at all. Most of his attacks were meet up by sand on the shore. Ghost Sword Yarrow realized that this type of attacks are useless against Ross and he is wasting his stamina, He finally stopped attacking Ross. He dropped a little and held the hilt of his sword with both of his hands. His figure suddenly flashed on the battlefield. Ghost Step, Flash Shadow! Chi! Chi! Two huge bloody sword energy, one from left and one from right cut the battlefield, sweeping the dusty sand and Ross doppelg?nger and his real body with it. Are you giving up on your fancy tricks? Faced with this attack, Ross calmly opened his mouth and retracted his doppelg?nger, and withdrew the power of distortion from the sand, while focusing the power of distortion on his hands, facing one of the sword energy attacks. Zi! Although the bloody sword energy is powerful, it is still stiffly suppressed under Ross all-out power of distortion and the sword energy was held between his hands, Ross threw back the sword energy. Observation Haki accurately captured the route of Ghost Sword Yarrow attacks, which was a pre-judgment attack, The sword energy attack was thrown back by Ross as it flew towards Ghost Sword Yarrow. Do you want to use my own attacks against me? Its really is bad behavior. Ghost Sword Yarrow looked at the bloody sword energy that came towards him and snorted. The sword energy in his hand was smashed into the air with a violent wave. Ross ignored Ghost Sword Yarrow and suddenly bent over and laid his hands on the beach. Bang Bang! Power of distortion operated by both hands is much more flexible and fierce than foot control. In almost an instant, the beach with Ross as the center and tens of meters in radius stirred up crazily. When it comes to large-scale attacks, Ghost Sword Yarrow is not the only one who can use them, but the current environment is just right for him to release a certain trick. Flowing Sand Waterfall Stream! Ross took a deep breath and the power of distortion erupted. Not good. Ghost Sword Yarrow had noticed that the situation was not right in the vicinity as early as when the sand was surging and his vigilance increased sharply. He planned to pull back and stay away from Ross to avoid the upcoming attack. But things were much worse than he thought. Because the sand was mobile, Ross manipulated only a part of the sand, causing all the sand on the beach to roll up and a wave similar to a Tsunami rushed toward him. And. The general direction of the attack is surging from the shore towards the sea, that is to say, that there is no retreat at all, unless he hides in the sea!! Ghost Sword Yarrows face changed as he watched the Tsunami like sand attack coming towards him. Not far away. Everyone who was looking at the battlefield on the shore saw this scene and they felt that their mouths were dry and they were shocked. Fake its fake Is this the power of the strongest pirate in the West Blue, the power of Ghost Hand Ross Such power is already an unacceptable level for them. In their opinion, this type of power is not something that a human being should possess! Ross stood behind the raging sand waves and calmly launched Observation Haki, feeling the situation behind the sand waves. The battlefield, under his control from the beginning, had changed from the shore where the ship was. Now behind the waves was the open sea and there was no place for Ghost Sword Yarrow to escape. His speed is faster and his footwork is also flexible. But there is nothing but sea behind him and all the possible escape routes are blocked and there is no room to dodge! If the opponent retreats into the sea, the advantage of the speed cant be bought into play, Ross will be able to hammer a squirrel in the sea with the advantage of Gepp (Moonwalk) not to mention a much larger target. Its over. Ross mind flashed with every single possibility and he calmly whispers. Behind the waves. Although Ghost Sword Yarrow is not a Devil Fruit user, he also knows that once he retreats into the water, he is giving up his speed advantage. It is likely that he will never have a chance to came back ashore, so he can only take a deep breath and swing his sword in the face of the coming waves. One Blade flowDecapitation Dance! He held his sword in both of his hands and unleashed a series of attacks. The sand waves that hit him were constantly broken. Because of the wide coverage of the sand waves, the power of distortions was dispersed. The sand waves split open and the raging sand waves could hardly bind his body. While constantly breaking the sand waves, Ghost Sword Yarrow rushed towards Ross position and indifferently said. Your attack range is large enough, but the power behind it is too weak. This type of attack must put a big strain on you. If you want to spend more of your stamina, then try it. Consuming stamina, your thinking is too simple Not Yet! Standing behind the sand waves, controlling the sand waves to kill Ghost Sword Yarrow from all directions, Ross heard his words clearly. As the voice fell, Rosss power of distortions condensed together again. He used his five fingers to force the power of distortion and slammed it down. Crash! Under Rosss all-out manipulation, the sand in front of him began to roll and surge, rising gradually like a real wave, turning into a terrifying sand wave off the height of more than 20 meters! Ghost Sword Yarrow on the shore looked at the scene in front of him and his face finally showed a hint of horror and fear. He didnt expect Ross to be able to create such a powerful attack even when he was manipulating a large area of sand. Damn it. He gritted his teeth, held the sword hilt in both of his hands and looked fiercely at the coming waves. Marine Vice-Admirals fleet cant kill me, a newcomer to West Blue One Sword, Ghost Shadow Decapitation! A reddish sword energy bursts out from above his sword blade, He inserted his blade into the sand wave and tore the sand wave open from the bottom to up, revealing a small town and Ross behind the sand wave. But before Ghost Sword Yarrow has the time to be happy, the slashed area of the wave collapsed and fell head on him, closing a gap between them in an instant. No! Ghost Sword Yarrow was completely covered by the gushing sandstorm. CHAPTER 55 DEMON SHERIFF LAFFITTE Previous ChapterNext Chapter The heavy sand waves fell heavily and most of them plunged into the sea. A huge spray of water was set off on the sea that tumbled backward. After that huge piece of sediment has fallen, it was faintly visible that some of the small shrimps and crabs were struggling and there was still a region of sand that was violently twitching as if something was trying to drill out. Ross looked calmly at the squirming area, He pressed his hands together as the power of distortions surged from his body and whistled into the earth. SandstormGreat Burial! Boom! Everything that was originally crushed by the huge waves of sand, again started to madly twist and squeezed under the influence of the distortion force and collapsed toward the bottom and the beach area of a few tens of meters roared and directly Collapsed! At last, all the sounds disappeared. The remnants of shrimps and crabs burst open one after another and a deadly silence fell on the entire beach. At the same time. Ross heard a familiar system sound in his ear. He straightened up and gave up on the idea of checking again for any life sign with his Observation Haki. Ghost Sword Yarrow with a bounty of 98 million Berries has been killed, Rewards gained are, 35 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Point. 1 point free talent point? Rosss calm eyes finally flashed a slight fluctuation and he smiled, 35 Talent Proficiency points are not much but 1 Free Talent Point is a greater reward for him. Counting the rewards of killing the Double Sword Durlot before, These two pirates have actually provided him with 2 free talent points. This trip is undoubtedly extremely satisfying for Ross. It looks like Captain won. Robin stood far behind the crowd, looking in the direction of the beach, with a slight smile. Seeing the result of the battle, even though she knew Ross well, she was still surprised by the one-sided victory. Ross did not have such strength when she first joined, but in just over half a year, Ross strength rose rapidly. From the first time she saw a Battleship flee, till now where he can destroy several Battleships. Branch Rear Admiral, Headquarters Rear Admiral, Grand Line Pirate Every opponent was unconsciously defeated by Ross. Looking at the distant coast, Robin could not help but think that the Marine generals who forced Ross to become a pirate should have some regret at this time. Is it over? Theres no movement. The people of the town looked at the shore from afar and after a moment they came back from their shock, but when they overcome their shock, their hearts became more agitated again. There is no movement, that is to say Ghost Sword was killed! Returning from Grand Line with a bounty as high as 98 million Berries, that big pirate failed to compete with the meteor-like rise of Ghost Hand Ross of the West Blue! It shouldnt be That this is the rise of another Red Hair Shanks level character. Some people shudder at the thought of regularly publishing newspapers, defined by the government as one of the worlds most dangerous pirate. The captain of the fearful Red-Haired Pirate with a bounty so high that they cant help but shudder. Little is known about The Grand Line in West Blue, but the existence of Red Hair Shanks, Whitebear Edward Newgate, is well known. No. Someone came back from his shock and shook his head when he heard the words of the people next to him. Its not that easy. Do you know what kind of pirate Shanks is? There are many pirates in this sea, but there are only four people standing on top of everyone. He is one of them! West Blue has produced Red Hair Shanks, which some people feel ashamed, while others are proud of it, just like East Blues birth of The Pirate King Roger, which will not be forgotten. But. The man nodded, took a deep breath and said, But here in West Blue No one can challenge his position anymore, He is the strongest pirate of this generation of the West Blue While the people of the Town were arguing, Ross, who killed Ghost Sword Yarrow, came towards the three Double-Sword Pirates Ships docked on the shore. Ross never feared anyones revenge, but he did everything in his power to avoid future troubles. That that guy is coming! pull up the anchor The pirates on the three ships of Double Sword Pirates were still shocked seeing their Captain being killed by Ross. When they saw that Ross was walking towards them, their faces changed dramatically, showing fear. Some people took firearms, some filled the cannons shells and some people tried to escape from the ships. The scene was extremely chaotic. Boom! Boom! Three Pirate Ships were destroyed one after another after several guns and cannons sounds rippled off the shore. The Double Sword Pirates had a lot of pirates with a total bounty of 20 million. Although the proficiency acquired by killing them was very small as he only gained 5 Talent Proficiency Points, which is better than nothing. After the destruction of the Double-Sword Pirates, he got a total of 110 Talent Proficiency Points and 2 Free Talent Points, which is a bumper harvest. Whiz! After destroying the last ship together with a large number of pirates, Ross jumped back to shore and did not rush to use up his Talents and Proficiency points, but stepped lightly and disappeared from the publics sight after a few flashes. Behind the crowd, Ross appeared next to Robin and asked her, Did you find any trace of him? No. Robin shook her head. The only mission given to her by Ross was to find Demon Sherrif Laffitte in the chaos. The Demon Sherrif, however, doesnt seem to have come over or he is very skillful in hiding himself from her search using Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi). Hmm Ross touched his chin and thought a little. Suddenly, his eyes flashed and he turned to look down into a dark street not far away. Hao Hao I was found. A suppressed laugh came from the depths of the street. Whiz! Almost immediately after the sound came out, Ross stepped down and rushed straight into the dark street. When Ross rushed in, a figure hiding deep in the street jumped up and turned over the roof. Ross jumped up and chased him. After several tosses and turns, Ross eventually caught up with the figure by using his Observation Haki, It was a white-skinned man with a tall ceremonial hat on his head and a crutch in his hand. He was the navigator and The Fifth Fleet Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, Demon Sherrif Laffitte. CHAPTER 56 RECRUITING A NAVIGATOR Previous ChapterNext Chapter Compared with the character in the original series, he has not changed much and he doesnt even look too young, but his hiding methods and tricks are dazzling. If Ross had not locked him firmly with his Observation Haki, he would not have been able to find any trace of him after several moves. I dont have any ill intends and I dont see anything I shouldnt have seen. Seeing that he couldnt escape from Ross, Laffitte decisively gave up on fleeing, He stood on the roof of a house and looked at Ross, showing a very helpless expression and gently spread the cane in his hands. Ross calmly looked at him and said: You dont look like a Law abiding person So, are you interested in joining me and making the world turn upside down? Laffitte was slightly surprised and various thoughts flashed through his eyes. Then he put one hand on his chest and made a gentlemans bow. He smiled and said: I will be honored to join The Ghost Hand Pirates, Captain. He has been constantly learning about the world and the situation of the West Blue and he has even gotten a lot of details about Pirates, the Ghost Hand Pirates has gotten famous recently and now they are on the top of West Blue. As a restless person, he naturally did not plan to live in peace and security.He always wanted to find a chance to join someone strong and roam around in this world. Although he didnt plan to join someone so early, Ross went out of his way to invite him. Rejection may not be a good thing. Smart people will always make the smartest choices. Ross slightly smiled. Ross. Laffitte, I am good at hiding and sailing. Laffitte put his hand on the corner of his hat, with his head slightly beneath his side and his fingers gently lifted the corner. He looked like an orthodox gentleman, totally out of line with the name Demon Sherrif. It was easier then Ross imagined to recruit Laffitte.Laffitte has nothing to pack up or he seems to hide everything in his body, but Ross doesnt know where he hides it. The trip to Goldwater sea ended with Laffittes joining their crew. Ross crossed two streets with his new Navigator and found Robin. Nico Robin, Responsible for Intelligence Ross introduced Robin and nodded to Robin: Laffitte, Our new navigator. Both of them are highly intelligent and in some ways, Laffitte is better than Nico Robin. After all, Robin puts her wisdom on her subjects of learning. Speaking of it, Marines has been watching you in the dark. After a brief greeting, Laffitte rotated the red cane in his hand and smiled at Ross. Ross shook his head said: There are naturally Marines on this island because of the two strongest pirates, dont bother. Before entering the Grand Line, I dont think Marines will come to find any trouble with us. Thats true. Laffitte put down his cane. He intended to say that if he did not mind then he could pull Marines Eyes out and torture them and even send some false intelligence to the Marines, but It didnt look like he needs to mention it. If there is nothing else, you can go to the ship and consider the next stageThe Grand Line! Grand Line, thats a very challenging place, huh, huh. Laffitte smiled and his laughter and expressions were filled with a strange style. Then, you will be responsible for the next drawing of sea maps and the choice of sea route. When the ship arrives, I will give you the sea maps and compass. Ross said as he walked away, while Laffitte and Robin followed him from left and right. Walking on the street, all the way unimpeded, even if someone noticed Ross, they were all shocked and they hid on both sides of the street,carefully watching Ross walk away. Quickly. Ross returned to his ship with Laffitte and Robin and did not encounter any trouble on the way. Marines did not dare to do anything to him. More than ten miles away from the island, on a Battleship which is preparing for the attack on the island, A Marine branch Rear Admiral asked his subordinate on Den Den Mushi with a serious and nervous look: How is it, what is the result?! The Double Swords Pirates were completely annihilated Nothing was left, Ghost Hand Ross won the fight without any losses on his side and another weird man followed them to their ship. When he heard that Ross had won a great victory without being hurt in both battle, Rear Admiral knew that there was nothing that he could do and when he heard that a strange man accompany them to Ross ship, he could not help asking: Weird man did you took a photo?! It has been taken! Okay, submit the photo quickly. They have failed to arrest The Ghost-Hand Pirates and the Double-Sword Pirates, They have to at least submit some new information, otherwise, they will get in trouble with the Headquarters. After he hangs up on the Den Den Mushi, a Captain whispered to him, Rear Admiral, shall we continue to Chase the Ghost Hand Pirates? The Rear Admiral looked annoyed at Captain words next to him. As a Rear Admiral, he looked at the pirate but didnt dare to go. It was a very shameful thing for him and then this guy had to ask a clear question. We are Temporarily on standby for further orders! A few days later. Ross is sailing through the Goldwater sea, the news of the defeat of Double Sword Pirates was published by various newspaper news agencies, with various newspaper broadcasts spread throughout West Blue. On a route to the Grand Line, the Ghost Shadow Ship was sailing at full speed and Ross was standing on the deck of the Ghost Shadow Ship with a newspaper thrown by a news bird. Shocking! West Blues hegemony is in twists and turns, changing ownership again. After reading half of the newspaper Ross threw the newspaper into the sea and said helplessly, What these messy news agencies have published is no more reliable than what the government has published. Robin covers her mouth and laughs lightly. Its impossible for them to publish accurate news honestly, but Captain, youve become the focus of news agencies in West Blue. Ross shook his head and asked Laffitte, who was observing the direction and course of the wind at the top of the mast. Whats the direction and speed of the wind? How long will it take us to reach Berros town? Berros Town It is the closest island to Grand Line in West Blue, similar to East Blues Logue Town, which is considered as the last island before the Grand Line. Without any surprises and with the speed of the ship, it will take us one month to reach the Berros Town, Captain. Laffitte leaped and floated down from the mast like a piece of paper. Ross nodded and said: The problems of navigations are up to you. Laffitte is responsible for navigation and even if he is limited to a navigator, it saves Ross a lot of time. Captain may rest assured. Laffitte slightly bowed and smiled as Ross returned to his cabin. Before embarking on the ship, his knowledge of Ross was limited to all kinds of intelligence and news. In the past few days, he had a more detailed understanding of all aspects of Ross and he more and more confirmed that Ross is a valuable Captain to follow. Turning the world upside down, Im looking forward to it, huh-huh. CHAPTER 57 ARMAMENT HAKI Previous ChapterNext Chapter Walking into the cabin, Ross went all the way to the exercise room. After closing the door, he willed and before his eyes appeared a translucent Talent System panel that only he could see, where three Talents Trees stood quietly. Living Talent Tree is unchanged for a long time and there is still only one Navigation Talent on it. Now, with his new navigator, Ross would like to take back the 1 Talent Point he spent to learn navigation, but apparently, the system will not let him easily take the points away. The Battle Talent Tree is also refreshing after it has been activated. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 215 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) by Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki:0 Observation Haki shows a golden activated state, meaning that Ross can indeed save one Free Talent Point by self-practicing. As for Talent Proficiency, it brings an extra bonus, but self-exercise does not increase Talent Proficiency. The General Talent Tree has also changed a lot from the previous one. Agility Enhancement: 100 (High-Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 200 (Top Level Strengthening) After killing the Double Sword Pirates, Ross gained 2 Free Talent Points and 110 Talent Proficiency points which allowed him a lot of choices. Observation Hakis strength is enough for now. If I encounter an enemy whose speed is faster than what I can see, hear and feel, even if I could perceive his actions, I wouldnt be able to respond to them physically. Ross thought a little and ruled out the two options, Observation Haki and Agility Enhancement. His speed and strength are in balance and the improvement in Speed and Observation Haki will have very little effect on his overall strength. As for Physical Enhancement After such a long period of exercise, his physical fitness is much better than when he just arrived at the Top Level Physical Enhancement. Even if the strength of Distortion Fruit is enhanced further, his physical fitness is enough to bear its burden, so he is not in any hurry to fill in that particular proficiency. The last remaining option is Distortion Fruit. If all 110 proficiency points are put in it, then the basic conditions for activating the branch of Gravity Distortionwill be reached in an instant. If I put 85 proficiency points on Distortion Fruit, only 25 proficiency points can be used to improve my physical fitness I dont know if such a disparity of advancement can afford a huge increase in the power of distortion. Ross thought it would be nice to have a few dozen more Talent Proficiency points, but there may have been new choices at that time. Talent Proficiency points and Free Talent Points were always scarce resources. In addition to proficiency points, 2 Free Talent Points also brings several options. Armament Haki can undoubtedly be activated, Haoshoku Haki can also be activated and even Strength Enhancement in the General Department, etc., are all within the options. Due to the scarcity of Free Talent Points, the best solution is naturally based on the practicing Armament Haki to activate it, but currently, Ross does not have any practice method of Armament Haki and without any clue, he can not practice Armament Haki. He can also hope that he will be able to awaken Armament Haki in battle. Hakis practice methods are difficult to obtain in the first half of the Grand Line. They can only be obtained in the second half of the Grand Line, New World. Without Armament Haki, the situation would be very dangerous when encountering someone with a Logia Devil Fruit abilities. Ross thought it over for a long time. Armament Haki Ross watched the trunk of the Talents Tree representing Armament Haki and took a deep breath before choosing to consume one Free Talent Point to activate Armament Haki. Buzz!! The remaining Free Talent Points changed from 2 to 1 and the Armament Hakis green branch flashed with a golden light and turned into a golden color. At the same time. A lot of knowledge about Armament Haki was sent to Ross mind. He closed his eyes as his body kept shaking. Within a few seconds, he consciousness experienced three-month Armament Haki training. A slight heat flow gushes out of his heart and runs through his entire body, bringing a slight increase in Ross physical fitness, while a will hiding in his body, which has never been stimulated was released and a very weak Armament Haki enhances one part of his body. Hu! When Ross opened his eyes, his senses have changed a lot. In addition to feeling the power of Distortion Fruit in his body, he can now feel another kind of power contained in his body which is quite different from his Devil Fruit power. Busoshoku (Armament) Haki It is slightly similar to Observation Haki in origin, but major parts of it are completely different. As Ross wills, an invisible breath comes out of him and surrounds him on outside. The skills activated by the Talent System have always been complete without any default and the Armament Haki around Rossbody is flexible and free from any sense of stagnation. This is Armament Haki Ross manipulated the aura around his body, muttered a sentence and then his eyes twinkled slightly, he concentrated his thoughts on his arms and control the convergence of the Armament Haki. Buzz!! The gathering of Armament Haki formed a strong aura around Ross arm and squeezed and condensed under Ross control, but when it was about to form a black hardening, it suddenly broke apart and the aura dispersed. Ross tried twice in a row and failed to harden Armament Haki. As for the cause of his failure, he found it all at once. Insufficient strength. Perceiving Armament Haki around him, Ross shook his head. First, his Armament Haki is too weak. Second, his physical strength is not strong enough. Although his physical strength is more abnormal than any ordinary person, it is still a little far from the Armament Haki hardening. Being able to mobilize Armament Haki is just a startup skill. By practicing enough to form Armament Haki hardening, then one has thoroughly mastered this kind of Haki. Thinking about it. Ross still gave up the idea of ??putting proficiency points in Armament Haki. There is still a month to go before he officially enters Grand Line. After Armament Haki is activated, there is no need for practice. Even if it does not meet the hardening criteria in one month, some improvements can be made. As long as he has a certain level in Armament Haki, even if hardening is not achieved, he will be able to do something against a Logia Devil Fruit user. For him. Distortion Fruit is still his main development direction. Armament Haki can mainly be used against the BUG-like ability of elementalization. After all, it is unrealistic to try to raise all of his abilities to the top at the same time. Ross intends to reserve the remaining 1 Free Talent Point until the proficiency of the distortion fruit reaches 300 proficiency points after which he can activate The Gravity Distortion ability which may require 1 Free Talent Point. There is still 110 Talent Proficiency Points Ross looked at the branch of Distortion Fruit. He didnt add it up just a little. He directly put 45 Talent Proficiency Points in it. In a flash of light, Distortion Fruits proficiency turned to 260. Meanwhile, Ross suddenly felt a burning sensation in his body. The power of distortions rose rapidly in that burning heat. In a few seconds, the power of distortions had risen dramatically. CHAPTER 58 RED HAIR SHANKS PIRATES Previous ChapterNext Chapter Ross closed his eyes and quietly felt the heat and the power of distortion in his body. When the heat subsided, he opened his eyes and clenched his fist. Previously the range of his Distortion Fruit power was a radius of about 30 meters with him as the center and after putting 45 proficiency points in it, the range of his Distortion Fruit power has increased to 50 meters! Ross can clearly feel that his power can not only easily cover an entire ship, but also extend outward, even to the bottom of the sea. Whitebeards Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) can trigger sea shock, and the Distortion Fruit can naturally do similar things but Distortion Fruit has a smaller range than Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi). My body can still bear this level of power. After perceiving the changes in his body, Ross muttered. Power of distortion has skyrocketed and the burden placed on his body has naturally increased a lot but since Ross physical fitness has always been ahead of his Devil Fruit, so after this surge, his physical strength and the power of Distortion Fruit can be improved and can reach a balance. After a little hesitation, Ross put 20 Talent Proficiency points to Physical Enhancement and then assigns another 30 Talent Proficiency points to Distortion Fruit. Buzz!! After the Talent Proficiency assignment, Rosss body changed slightly again and the range of Distortion Fruit reached nearly 70 meters! Sure enough, with the increase of proficiency the power of distortion fruit will increase more and more but the increment in Physical Enhancement is getting smaller and smaller. Ross felt the changes in the body and his eyes flickered. Such a divergence also means that In addition to allocating a large number of Talent Proficiency points to Physical Enhancement, he also needs to further exercise his body to adapt to the continuous strengthing of his Devil Fruit power. He originally intended to put the remaining points in the distortion fruit for its proficiency to reach 300 but Ross eventually assigned the remaining 15 proficiency points to Physical Enhancement. To activate Gravity Distortion he needs to spend more than one Free Talent Points. Even if the proficiency of the power of distortion reached 300, the Gravity Distortion will not be activated in a short time. So this is not as good as balancing his physical fitness and his Devil Fruit strength, which is also beneficial to practice Armament Haki. After assigning 110 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross talent panel changed again. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 290 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki:0 Armament Haki: 0 Distortion Fruit is only 10 proficiency points away from the second branch which will activate the Gravity Distortion, while Marines Rokushiki is all zero. Maybe after the physical enhancement and the Agility Enhancements proficiency reach the upper limit of 500, He will allocate some proficiency points to Soru and Gepp (Moonwalk). Agility Enhancement: 100 (High LevelStrengthening) Physical Enhancement: 235 (Top LevelStrengthening) The General Talent Department has not changed much. The power of Distortion Fruit has more than doubled and his original body is little weaker than his Devil Fruit ability. Ross shook his head helplessly, even though he finally replenished the Physical Enhancement by 15 proficiency points, His body still couldnt keep up with the increase in the power of distortion. Naturally. It also has the advantage that when Ross breaks out with all of his strength, the power of distortion will reach a terrifying level and Marine Rear Admiral Onigumo, who once suppressed him by virtue of his strength, will not be able to resist his current power of distortion. I dont know how strong I am currently, how much worse am I compared to a Vice-Admiral of the Headquarter. Ross thought for a moment. Headquarters Vice-Admiral and Headquarters Rear Admiral are also quite different. It is quite difficult for a Headquarters Rear Admiral to be directly promoted to a Headquarters Vice-Admiral, most of the Headquarters Rear Admiral need to be placed outside the branch base to serve as a branch Vice-Admiral for a period of time and only after gaining some military merits, they can return to the Headquarter. Regardless of his own affordability, He should be able to compete with a weak Headquarters Vice-Admiral and he is not an opponent to most of the top Headquarters Vice-Admiral. After thinking about the strength of Onigumo, Ross roughly judged what level he is now. Before entering the Grand Line, it is rare for someone to have abilities that surpass Headquarters Rear Admiral and can deal with a Vice-Admiral in general. Next step is to continue to exercise my physical body and Armament Haki. Ross regained his thoughts and quickly set a short-term practicing route for himself. Since his Devil Fruit abilities are too strong, which brings a certain level of burden on his body, He will focus on his physical training for some time. And it will be beneficial for his Armament Haki training as it also requires a strong physical body. I still have to use the biggest weight and then double the number of push-ups and squats, one set for one thousand, one set at a time. After simply setting up the practice plan, Ross came to a lot of weights, picked out the heaviest one and started to exercise after wearing it. Half a month passed quickly. Because Laffitte was responsible for navigation, Ross had more free time. He spent a large part of it on his training and some part of it on rest and relaxation. Robins Devil Fruit ability is also useful for massage and the effects are very good. Although this is a strange trend for Robin, Ross did not intend to make her a Battle oriented member. If such a good girl exercises and put muscles all over her body, it will not be a beautiful picture to imagine and he will surely suffer from headaches. Ghost Shadow Ship is not far away. On the windy and sunny sea, a Pirate Ship is slowly sailing. There is no wicked and fierce atmosphere that is found on any usual Pirate Ship but the atmosphere is relaxing. It seems that the people on board dont care whether they will encounter merchant ships or not, much less whether they will encounter Marines. All of them are enjoying themselves, drinking and eating meat. Naturally. If a Marines Battleship were here, they would have turned around and run when they saw the Pirate Ship, because the pirate flag hung on the sail of the ship was enough to frighten the whole ocean! How does it feel to be back home? Beckman took a cigarette and came to the Red Hair Shanks standing at the front of the deck. Shanks stood there relaxed in his cloak and slippers, looking at the vast sea ahead, smiling and saying, Not bad. Nearly twenty years Looking at the sea, Shanks muttered that it had been nearly twenty years since he got on Rogers ship as a trainee, thirteen years ago Roger became The Pirate King and eleven years ago Roger started The Great Age of Pirates. Of all Rogers crew, only he got Captains straw hat and he did not disappoint Rogers former crew members. After Roger started the Great Age of Pirates, it only took him 11 years to become one of the four emperors galloping on the Grand Line and New World. Naturally. It only took Roger a few years to conquer the Grand Line and became the King standing at the top of countless pirates. First lets go back to my hometown, then we go to the East Blue Shanks gently touched the straw hat on his head. Beckman laughed and said, Hey, suddenly coming to the West Blue without saying a word and then going to East Blue again. Marine and the government are afraid that we would make a mess. Let them go around. Shanks slightly smiled. If the Government and Marines want to deal with them, they must send at least three top-level Battle forces. Otherwise, they will not be able to do anything. The Government will not provoke a world-class war randomly. Beckman has considered all these things before taking any action. Just as Shank was enjoying the sea breeze, the ships sentry post suddenly shouted at him. Boss! There is a Pirate Ship over there! CHAPTER 59 BRUSHING PAS T Previous ChapterNext Chapter Ghost Shadow Ship. Laffitte is standing on the sentry post at the top of the mast, one of his hand holding the wooden guardrail and his other hand holding a telescope, looking in the distance. Long ago, he found a dark shadow on the far sea, which could be judged as a ship, but he was uncertain as to what it was. As the two ships approached, the shadow gradually became clear. That flag is When he saw the flag on the ship, Laffittes expression suddenly changed slightly and those expressions looked strange on him as he always looked like a gentleman who rarely shows any emotions. Whiz! After judging it for a second, he jumped from the mast and landed on the deck below, He said to Robin, Call Captain up, that ship belongs to Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates. Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates?! Robin was shocked. She thought it would be a merchant ship or ordinary Pirate Ship, but she didnt expect that it would be Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates, which are a terrifying force on the Grand Line. Quickly. Robin found Ross in the exercise room, and when Ross heard about the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates, he came to the deck with a serious expression. Taking the telescope from Laffittes hand and looking carefully at the ship coming in from the distance, he said thoughtfully, It is indeed Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates Calculating the time, it is now the August of the eleventh year of the Great Age of Pirates. According to the original plot, Shanks arrived at the East Blues Foosha Village around this time and stayed there for about a year. Captain, should we avoid them? Laffitte proposed from the side. Although he is very optimistic about Ross and boarded Ross ship, he is not an idiot. At this time point, it is undoubtedly a suicide attempt to act against Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates, a world-renowned existence. Ross put down his telescope and looked in the direction of the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirate Ship. He calmly said, Dont panic, change our route slightly so that we wont collapse against them head-on and we will pass by them. This is also very dangerous Laffitte is slightly worried. Ross stood on the bow of the ship and he doesnt intend to circumvent his ship around in a big circle to avoid Shanks. If he encounters the Beast Pirates or BIGMOM Pirates, he might avoid them temporarily, but he doesnt need to do that for Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates. In other words, Yonk (Four Emperors) is also his target, but that is the ultimate goal It is indeed too early to meet Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates at this time. Ross looked at the gradually approaching Akagami (Red Hair) Pirate Ship, whispering in his heart. Looking at the fast approaching Akagami (Red Hair) Pirate Ship, Robin cant help but show a little nervousness. Few people can make her nervous, but a Marine Admiral Aokiji has made her deeply afraid of him and Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates is the existence that even a Marine Admiral dares not dare to provoke. As the distance between the two ships gradually narrowed, the course of the two ships became very clear. It was not the opposite, but two parallel lines that did not intersect. They would pass each other at a distance of about thirty or forty meters away. Robin and Laffitte were nervous, but Ross remained calm as if the ship in front of him is only an ordinary merchant ship. One hundred meters Ninety meters As the distances of ships further narrowed, the people on the ships on both sides became clearer and clearer. Ross had clearly seen the figures standing on the bow of the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates. One of them is wearing a black cloak and a yellow straw hat. He is one of the New World Yonk (Four Emperors), Red Hair Shanks! Forty meters Thirty meters When the distance between the two ships reached 30 meters, the shortening was stopped. At this distance, Ross and the Shanks standing on the bow of the ship were almost opposite to each other and they could almost see the expression on the others face. This distance was not fixed but increased over time and became forty or fifty meters until the two boats completely passed each other and nothing happened. Hu! When Akagami (Red Hair) Pirate Ships hull was thoroughly brushed parallel to Ghost Shadow Ship, Laffitte and Robin almost both took a long breath and looked at each other and they found that both of their foreheads was covered with fine sweat stains. Only Ross remained calm and his face did not betray any of his emotions. Its all right. Keep Going, our goal is Berose town. Ross turned around and spoke in a light voice and at the same time, he entered his cabin and disappeared. On the other side. On the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates ship, there are still a large number of pirates who are drinking and eating meat and most of them dont even know about the passing Ghost Shadow Ship. Even if they knew they wouldnt care much and continue to talk and laugh while eating and drinking. Standing at the bow of the ship, opposite to Ross, Red Hair Shanks returned to his mind with a slightly different look in his eyes when the hull of the Ghost Shadow Ship has completely passed by him. That man just now Whats wrong? Beckman turned to Shanks and asked, Do you want to stop them? No. Shanks shook his head and said with a slight twinkle in his eyes, Just That mans eyes just gave me a very unusual feeling. I have a feeling that we will meet again. Really? Beckman took a puff of his cigarette and smiled. Nobody knows for sure about this kind of thing, but he didnt expect to meet someone who made Shanks has a premonition in West Blue. Just now that guy should be Ghost Hand Ross of West Blue. I read it in the newspaper before and I think theyre going to the Grand Line for us to see them again, but its not that easy. This is just a chance encounter, for any pirate to see them they have to first conquer the first half of the Grand Line and this single step has taken countless lives. This premonition of Shanks may be just a hunch. After passing the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates ship, the Ghost Shadow Ship returned to its calm state again. Laffitte continued to control the course. Robin continued to read her books, occasionally directed the handyman to do some cleaning work on the ship, or assisted Laffitte in collecting and sailing, while Ross returned to the practice room and continued to exercise, practicing Armament Haki. Armed! Standing in front of a hard steel wall, Ross stretched out his fist and muttered while controlling his own Armament Haki to gather on his fist. Compared with Armament Haki, which has been enhanced a lot more in half a months time, The constant concentration and cohesion gradually changed from surroundings to attachments. It became more and more strong, but it still could not form the black hardening. Not enough. Ross shook his head and punched the iron wall. Bang! Even if the Armament Haki has not reached the degree of hardening, He only surrounded his fist in his will without the hardening and he did not use his Devil fruit powers but he still left a fist shape on the solid iron wall. Very well, if it goes up at this rate, in half a month I should be able to gradually touch the Armament Haki hardening level. CHAPTER 60 WAITING FOR YOU Previous ChapterNext Chapter Half a month later. When Ross finally reached the edge of Armament Hakis hardening for the first time, Ghost Shadow Ship arrived at Berros town, the last island of West Blue before the Grand Line and it is similar to Logue Town of East Blue. Although there are often pirates landing here, the arrival of Ghost Shadow Ship at the port still caused a tremor on the dock. As the strongest pirate force of West Blue, the name of the Ghost-Hand Pirates is very well-known and they are already very famous. First, lets collect enough fresh water and food for our future journey. When the ship was docked, Ross stood on the deck and looked at Laffitte and Robin and said: You also need to buy a Log Pose, which is a must-have item for the Grand Line. Understood, Captain. Laffitte shook the red stick in his hand, laughed and walked down the ramp. As a navigator, leave the matter of Log Pose to me. No matter how talented Laffitte was in the original series as one of the 10 captains of Blackbeard Pirates, here hes a West Blue native who hasnt stepped into Grand Line. He is not very familiar with things like Log Pose but with Ross with him, He will not step into the Grand Line without preparation. Go ahead. Ross nodded and handed the mission of acquiring a Log Pose to Laffitte. Robin slightly smiled while heading for the ramp and said, Im going to buy fresh water and food. His two crew members took over the missions and Ross found that he didnt seem to have anything to do. He didnt have any interest in going ashore, so he sat down on the Ghost Shadow Ship and waited for them to finish their mission and return. Meanwhile. News of the arrival of the Ghost Hand Pirates in Berros town also spread rapidly to the Marine branch stationed in Berros town. Boom! Marine Captain Yukimura, the highest chief of the division, slapped his hand on the table and stood up violently, saying, Ghost Hand Pirates are here?. Yes Their ship was spotted at the port. Standing in front of Yukimura, Marine Lieutenant Commanders forehead was overflowing with cold sweat as he asked nervously: Captain, what should we do, should we surround them?! Yukimura also had a serious and tense look, shaking his head in a dignified manner, he said: No, I will report to Headquarters first. As a branch Captain stationed in Berros town, his strength is not comparable to that of West Blue Captain and he will not be promoted to the Rear Admiral rank next but he will be transferred to Marine Headquarters as a Headquarters Captain. Nevertheless, Ross sank an entire West Blue fleet led by Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo, once any conflict occurred between him and Ross, he was not sure if he would walk away alive. Quickly. Intelligence passed back from Yukimuras office to Marine Headquartersoffice in charge of West Blue. A Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral worked in this office. Onigumo was the most outstanding member of this office. Nobody expected him to fall in a place like West Blue. From the initial indifference to Ross who was a small time Pirate Hunter and then he became a Pirate. The current state of the office is entirely different, now the mere mention of the name of Ghost Hand Pirates left the entire office in chaos. Doberman soon arrived at his office as he was personally responsible for all matters concerning Ghost Hand Ross since Onigumos defeat in the West Blue. Berros town It seems that he is finally going to step into The Grand Line. Listening to the nervous voice coming from Den Den Mushi, Doberman murmured a little and said, Captain Yukimura, for the time being, dont act against them, dont fight with the Ghost Hand Pirates. Er Yes! Yukimura heard Dobermans order and was surprised but he still answered immediately. Almost any pirate who appears in Berros town will be encircled, suppressed and pursued by Marines under his leadership. At least three or four out of ten Pirates will be defeated by him in Berros town, but this is the first time that he will not move against Pirates. He also knows that with the arrangement of Marines in the Berros Town, he can deal with pirates with the bounty of 35 million, but he is not strong enough to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates. Now that you want to come to Grand Line, come in. Ill wait for you on The Grand Line Grand Line is not like West Blue, You wont be able to act recklessly here. Doberman glared at the Den Den Mushi. He is not afraid of Ross coming to Grand Line, but he is afraid that Ross will not come! If Ross stays in the West Blue, it will be really hard to get rid of him. Any branch base of the West Blue does not have enough strength to suppress Ghost Hand Pirates and its not easy to move people from Headquarters or the Grand Line to West Blue. Its very troublesome to deal with. But. It will be different if he comes to the Grand Line! Once he enters the Grand Line, he will officially enter the region that ??Marines guarded heavily. The military deployment on The Grand Line is far from what West Blue can match. The highest chief of each branch base is a Vice-Admiral, with more experience and strength than Onigumo. And there are a large number of Pirates on the Grand Line whose names are better known then Ghost Hand Pirates. Maybe Marines wont even need to deal with Ross as he may perish on the sea by some pirate hands. Notify the Marine branches nearest to the Reverse Mountains and give me a close look at all the pirates entering the Grand Line. Once I find the Ghost-Hand Pirates, I will attack them immediately, they must be eradicated! Doberman does not intend to give Ross any more opportunities to grow. Yes! Many Marine Rear Admiral responded by dialing the Den Den Mushi to various branch bases to deliver Dobermans orders and their serious look gradually turned to a relaxed one. Once Ross enters the Grand Line, he will no longer be under their jurisdiction. Secondly, the strong and tyrannical forces placed on the Grand Line had the abilities to deal with any pirate under the bounty of 120 million berries. They cant deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates in the West Blue but on the Grand Line, he is nothing to the Marines. Berros town. Ross naturally didnt know about the actions of the Marine Headquarters and even if he knew he wouldnt care, Marines are waiting for him but they dont know that he is also waiting for them, waiting to meet them on the Grand Line. There are many pirates on the Grand Line with the bounty of 100 million, 200 million, or even 300 million berries and even the Seven Warlords of the Sea can be found there For Ross, its like a hunter walking into a hunting ground, looking at all those preys from afar and grinning. Those beings will be the cornerstones of his climb to the top of the world. From the moment he enters the Grand Line, He will be closer to killing those who regarded him as a trivial man and ordered his annihilation. CHAPTER 61 *HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter The first to return was Robin with a team of porters that worked with the handymen on the Ghost Shadow Ship to carry fresh water and food constantly filling the Ghost Shadow Ships storage. When I passed through the Marine branch on the road, I explored the surroundings and found that Marines were all assembled inside. Maybe we should expect some trouble. Robin standing next to Ross was overseeing many porters carrying food and fresh water on board, she looks at the Marine branch base building standing in the middle of the Little Town and laughs slightly. Ross sat on the guardrail of the Ghost Shadow Ship deck and without looking up, said Come on. Theyre lucky if they dont cause any trouble for us. Robin slightly smiled with her chin in her hand and said: Marines here are probably afraid of us, but the news that were here must have been sent back to the Marine Headquarters and there will probably be Marines soldiers waiting for us on Grand Line. Naturally, she knows that Marines wont fight them here, She is worried about the Marines on the Grand Line. However, how could Ross not understand her reminder? He turned to Robin and, with a slightly playful stretch of his finger, gave her a gentle click on her chin and said, I can imagine that But If Marine wants to fight us, then let them come. After being teased by Ross, Robin didnt have any blushing expressions, but instead smiled and stared at Ross. Ross looked at her for a few seconds and naturally regained his gaze and looked into the distant sea. He said: It is already the end of November of the eleventh year of the Great Age of Pirates. If he remembers correctly the Robin is 17 years old now and her birthday should be on February 6. That is to say, in another two and a half months, she can take off the Loli title. ??? Robin felt that Rosss sentence was incomplete and there might be the second half of the sentence, but Ross did not say it and she was confused. Half a day later. Laffitte returned to the ship and came to Ross. His wrists swayed as he has a watch-like tied to his wrist, but at the center of the watch was not a dial, but a ball and a pointer. Is this it? Captain. Ross took the thing from Laffittes hand. After a little observation, he nodded and said, Yes, this is what replaces the sea maps and compass on the Grand Line. Ross hands the Log Pose back to Laffitte and lets him study and observe it by himself. Half a day later. Food and fresh water filled the storage compartment of the Ghost Shadow Ship. At Rosss command, Ghost Shadow Ship untied the rope, set sail and left Berros town and headed straight towards the Reverse Mountain! While the Ghost Shadow Ship was leaving the Berros town, Marines on Berros town immediately reported the current situation to Marine Headquarters, but it had nothing to do with Ross. As the Ghost Shadow Ship moved closer to the Grand Line, the weather and currents began to become unpredictable and the waves became more turbulent and the undercurrent surged. Ross arrived on deck and watched the course of Ghost Shadow Ship with Laffitte. Under their control, Ghost Shadow Ship did not wander into the Calm Belt but went to the Reverse Mountain. Grand Line and Red Line divide the planet into east, west, north, and south. The ocean currents of the four seas will gather at one place and finally flows into the Grand Line thats the Reverse Mountain. Based on his memory, Ross is calm about the changes in the current, although it is West Blue and not East Blue, which was passed by Luffy and others, its a minor gap. . Behind the mist in the sea, there is a magnificent red wall-like structure that stretches all the way to the end of the line of sight. It is the Red Line. Robin stood on the deck and looked at the Red Line, saying:What a spectacular sight Thats Red Line Laffitte had a strange smile on his face, but his excited eyes revealed that his heart was surging like a wave. Even Ross looks at the spectacular and magnificent Red Line which divides the whole world, has a thrill of excitement in his heart, Looking at the real deal is a very different experience. While looking at Red Line, Ross looked at the parallel Grand Line. Reverse Mountain is the starting point of the first half of the Grand Line and the end of the second half of the Grand Line. The final island, Raftel, is mostly hidden in the mist. But. Without the guidance of the Road Poneglyph, No one can find Raftel, even if he directly cross the Grand Line through the calm belt, he wouldnt be able to find Raftel. He would only be able to move around like a headless fly in the sea. Ross only looked at it and then took his eyes back, because he was not interested in the so-called Raftel, or the so-called ONEPIECE, he was just a little curious about them. Crash! As the Ghost Shadow Ship gradually approached the Reverse Mountain, the sea currents became more and more violent and the entire ship slammed towards Red Line. Under the control of Ross and Laffitte, Ghost Shadow Ship sailed into the canal of the Reverse Mountain and climbed all the way up to the top of the mountain and finally rushed into the Grand Line! At the same time. In front of the Twin Cape Lighthouse on the end of the Reverse Mountain, an old man was sitting there reading the newspaper, He turned his head in the direction of the Reverse Mountain canal. He is the Warden Crocus of the Twin Cape Lighthouse and the doctor of the Pirate King Roger Ship. Well, Another Pirate force has stepped into the Grand Line and he doesnt know where this batch will go. Crocus put down his newspaper and looked towards the Ghost Shadow Ship at the Reverse Mountain Canal. He often reads newspapers and news from all over the world. He has a slight impression on the Ghost Hand Pirates, but it is just a little impression. Because this is the starting point of The Grand Line, there have been countless pirates pouring in here in eleven years, but out of them all very few people can make a name for themselves on the Grand Line, perhaps the Ghost Hand Pirates will just be one of those no-name pirates. So with only a single glance, Crocus regained his gaze. A few days later. The news that Ghost Hand Pirates had left West Blue and drove into the Grand Line spread all over West Blue. While countless pirates and Marines breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes converged on Grand Line. Grand Line, known as Pirates Graveyard, has silently devoured a large number of pirates that dominate West Blue for more than a decade, many of which had a bounty as high as 80 million berries. Now. The Ghost Hand Pirates had also stepped into the Grand Line, whether they turned into a small wave that was annihilated on the Grand Line or a storm that will sweep through the Grand Line, no one can say for sure. Chapter 61 To The Grand Line CHAPTER 62 VIOLENT STORM Previous ChapterNext Chapter In the stormy Rainstorm, there are huge waves on the sea, wrapping the Ghost Shadow Ship and taking it up and down, which makes it difficult to maintain a stable course. How long till we reach the first island? Under the command of navigator Laffitte, Robin used her ability to constantly change the sails and barely controlled the ships course in the storm. Many handymen also worked hard to support her. Laffitte stood there with a serious expression and looked at the Log Pose worn on his wrist. He said: Its hard to judge. Its the first time Ive entered the Grand Line. I didnt expect the weather and currents here to be so troublesome. Now Im off course. No harm. Ross stepped out of the cabin and stood steadily on Ghost Shadow Ship which was rising and falling with the waves. As long as we keep sailing in the direction pointed by Log Pose, we will surely reach an island. It is not clear which island Ross will arrive at. There are at least 7 routes on the Grand Line and only one of them was traveled by Straw Hat Pirates. Crash! In the raging Rainstorm, a wave of about 20 meters high appeared from the front, sweeping across the sky and smashing down against Ghost Shadow Ship. Be careful! Laffittes face changed. Robin was also shocked. She was a Devil Fruit user. It was very dangerous for her when the waves fell and there was nothing she could do to stop them. Just in a short time, Ross pulled out his Named Sword Happy Spring out of his waist, his sword was surrounded by Armament Haki as he cut the sword against the waves. Siii! Ross sword energy released by his Named Sword Happy Spring is as powerful as Onigumos Rankyaku (Tempest Kick), which split the nearly 20 meters high from the center and Ghost Shadow Ship sailed from the middle of the waves. The strange weather on the Grand Line cannot stop someone who is really strong and it can only stop those ordinary pirates. Hu, Captains sword arts are also very unreal. Laffittes eyes flickered slightly and he expressed his respect and admiration for Ross at the right time. Ross stood with his hands down and his eyes calm. After the Ghost Shadow Ship crossed the waves, the scene changed instantly. There were two different shadows in the left front and right front of the fog. One was a Pirate Ship and the other was an ice block of nearly 100 meters in length! Pirate Ship is found in the left front and huge ice blocks are found in the right front. After Robin saw the situation in the fog, she immediately reported to Ross. At that moment, the undercurrent suddenly surged violently and Ghost Shadow Ship was instantly wrapped up by the undercurrent and slammed into the direction of the huge ice block. Not far away. While Robin found a group of pirates on the nameless Pirate Ship, they also found the existence of the Ghost Shadow Ship. Compared with Ghost Shadow Ship, they seemed to be in a lot of confusion in the stormy Rainstorm and their sails seemed to be broken by hail. Boss! There is a ship over there, A Pirate Ship! The Captain of Pirate Ship listened to his subordinates report and frowned in the direction of the Ghost Shadow Ship. Now that the ship hull was badly damaged, he did not want to clash with other Pirate Ship in such stormy weather. But just as he was about to order a diversion to avoid Ghost Shadow Ship, he suddenly saw that Ghost Shadow Ship was wrapped up by the undercurrent at the bottom of the sea and crashed towards the huge ice block in the distance, accelerating all the way and seemingly unable to stop. What?! Dont panic. Watch out for undercurrents on the sea floor and stabilize the ships hull first. The Pirate Captain watches this scene, his eyes twinkling and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, if the other side is hit by the huge piece of ice to, it will crush them, this small advantage can be used by him. Its not so much as the Ghost Shadow Ship crashing into the huge ice block floating on the sea but it is the opposite. The huge ice block is crashing into The Ghost Shadow Ship which is in between his own ship and the ice block, so if the ice block crashes into The Ghost Shadow Ship then his ship will be saved. However. Before Ghost Shadow Ship is hit by the huge ice block, a figure flew up from the Ghost Shadow Ship and stepped out into the gale Rainstorm and fell towards the huge ice block with a lot of astonished eyes on his figure. Someone jumped out of that ship. That guy is flying in the sky? Am I dreaming? Many of the pirates on the nameless Pirate Ship are looking in the direction of the Ghost Shadow Ship. Seeing this scene, they are a little surprised and amazed. And in the next moment, Ross figure has fallen onto the huge ice block. Kch! When Ross figure fell, the huge ice block cracked under the influence of the power of distortion, centering on Ross position and spreading in all directions. Bang! Eventually, the huge 100-meter wide ice block was completely destroyed by the power of distortion and turned into numerous small pieces of ice that shot in every direction. Ghost Shadow Ship, which was about to hit the ice, easily crushed the many small broken ice blocks and stabilized. The unnamed Pirate Ship, along with its pirates, including the Captain, has long been shocked by this scene and many people have revealed an almost unbelievable look. That iceberg broken Is this a dream? The Pirate Captain could not help but swallow as he watched the scene. He was also an unusual pirate in North Blue, with 13 million Berries bounty on his head but he was frightened by the storm. That huge ice block still scared him. When he noticed that the Ghost Shadow Ship in the distance is seemed to be turning on its bow and sailing towards his ship, a sudden look of horror appeared in his eyes. Fast! Turn quickly! Crash! The undercurrent of the sea surged again, happily wrapping his ship and took his ship to the distance, away from the Ghost Shadow Ship. As Ghost Shadow Ship disappeared into the fog, The Pirate Captain wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and he was still a little frightened. His subordinates looked at each other with a sigh of relief. I think We should go back to North Blue. Uh huh. Everyone nodded in perfect agreement. Ross, who has smashed the huge ice block and returned to the deck of his ship, watched the nameless Pirate Ship quickly disappear in the mist wrapped up in the sea undercurrent. For these nameless Pirates hovering in the beginner area of the Grand Line, Ross is like a High-Level warrior who has returned to the novice village, so he has no interest in the chickens of the novice village. Experience doesnt add up at all by killing these low-level beginners and the acquired money is not worth the effort put into killing them. Stable routes, continue to move forward. Ross looked up at the gradually turning sunny sky and instead of heading for the Pirate Ship, he headed into the direction pointed by the Log Pose. Laffitte bowed and said, Okay, Captain. In this chaotic weather of sometimes sunny and sometimes windy Rainstorm or even snow, Ghost Shadow Ship rides through the most chaotic sea in the world and arrives at the first island on the route in the first half of the Grand Line. CHAPTER 63 STARED Previous ChapterNext Chapter Luton town. This is Ross first island on the Grand Line route. This small town is not chaotic, but orderly. The Ghost Shadow Ship, which arrived at the port did not cause any movement here. It seems that people here are accustomed to pirates. This is the Grand Line It doesnt seem to be anything unusual. Walking into the town, Laffitte spun his red cane and looked around. Maybe. Ross was calm and not interested in whether the island was unusual or not. Log Pose needs to stay on the island for a while to record the magnetic waves of the islands to point to the next island, so we have to stay on this island for a few days. Laffitte looked at the Log Pose worn on his wrist and noticed that the needle of the Log Pose was not fixed like it as supposed to be and it was constantly shaking, he said: Understood, I will report immediately when the magnetic waves are fully recorded. Ross nodded and said, Well, for now, you can all move freely. Laffitte swung his cane in one hand and pulled his hat eaves in the other, saying: Whoop I really want to explore the island of the Grand Line. Robin nodded and said: I am also interested in the history of this island. The three of them separated, Robin went to explore the history of Island, while Laffitte went to find something interesting for him. As for Ross, he found a noodle restaurant and ordered a Ramen. On the harbor pier, in a dark room, a man pushed open a door and came inside a room, he switched on the light of the room, illuminating a messy hall, clapped his hands and shouted: Guys, the prey is here! There was a lot of alcohol in the room and similarly, there were a lot of people lying in the middle of the room. There were also a few dancing girls with a good figure in the middle of the room. The scene was very chaotic. Someone heard the shouting, rubbed his head and opened his eyes, saying: Oh, its Walter, What prey made you run so fast? I havent even woken up yet. Last night Stop, this prey is extraordinary! Walter stopped him with a gesture and shouted again at the people lying in the room. When everyone was woken up, he took out a bounty poster and patted it on the table in the middle of the crowd. The amount of money on the bounty poster was 92 million Berries and the photo and the name marked below is undoubtedly Its Ghost Hand Ross! The crowd was the Pirate Hunter Gang gathered here. There were countless new Pirates who sailed into the Grand Line and fell into their hands. They cut their heads and took their bounty. 92 million Berries?! I am not mistaken! When the half-asleep crowd saw the bounty reward, they were instantly awoken and stared at it. The pirates they usually hunt has at most 30 million bounties on their head, A single Pirate with a bounty of 92 million Berries has not appeared on this island and it is completely outside of their hunting range. Hey, Walter, do you want us to die, thats a strong pirate with a bounty of 92 million Berries, we wont be able to deal with him! Someone stared at the bounty order and spoke quietly. When Walter heard this, he grinned and said, Its not what you think. This guy doesnt come down from the top, hes a newcomer from the bottom! From the top down, it refers to an island from the Grand Line, where someone sails backward, and from the bottom up, it naturally refers to the newcomers who have just arrived from the four seas. What? Several people present heard the words and looked at each other instantly, showing a look of disbelief in their eyes. Does a newcomer have a bounty of 92 million Berries on his head? No kidding. They have been Pirate Hunters for so long, but they have never heard of such a high bounty reward for a newcomer. I didnt believe it at first. Walter grinned.I saw their pirate flag on the dock just now. I went to check it specially and found out that this guy really is a newcomer. He is a pirate from the West Blue. They are called Ghost-Hand Pirates If some pirate from the Grand Line has a bounty of 92 million Berries, he would not dare to provoke him, but it is a different matter if the said pirate is from the Four Seas. The bounty reward does not represent absolute strength, but the assessment of the threat degree of a pirate by the World Government. In the four seas, a pirate with a bounty of 50 million Berries may not be able to compete against a pirate who has a bounty of 30 million Berries on the Grand Line. Really? Hearing Walters affirmative tone, many people still have some doubts, but they still showed a thoughtful expression. Some people thought for a moment and couldnt help but say, But the 92 million Berries bounty is a little too exaggerated, even for a pirate coming from West Blue, Im afraid it will be very difficult for us to deal with him. Thats not necessarily true. Walter smiled and reached out and put another bounty poster on the table. Look at this woman. Shes also a crew member of the Ghost Hand Pirates and there is a bounty of 79 million Berries on her head I checked and she is the Devil Child of OHara, The Government apparently offered such a high bounty on her because they wanted to cover something up. Hiss! Seeing another high Bounty poster on the table, the people present were stunned for a moment and were left breathless. 92 million plus 79 million, this is more than 170 million Berries, they had a busy year and the total bounty they gathered by hunting pirates together may not amount to this much money! I will tell you one more thing, Eileens ladies are probably watching them and they wont let them go either. If were late, such a large amount of bounty will slip away from our hands. Once, there was a pirate who had a bounty of more than 60 million berries on his head and he arrived at their island. They hesitated and did not go after him. As a result, Eileen group took him down and they were only slightly injured, turned out that the pirate strength was very low and the reason that guy had such a high bounty was that he killed many civilians in the South Blue. Hearing the other Pirate Hunter gangs such as Eileens and others had been eyeing the 92 million berries pirate, several peoples eyes finally turned red as they looked at each other and then clapped the desk and stood up. Yes! This time we must not let Eileens and others take the lead! More than 170 million Berries bounty, killing these two pirates will be enough for them for a few years! At the same time. Several other Pirate Hunter gangs who lived in the town almost all stood up at the same time and the eyes were greedy and excited as if they were a shark who has smelled blood. An invisible storm is brewing over the town. CHAPTER 64 QUARREL Previous ChapterNext Chapter The history of this island has been completely destroyed by the war. Robin walked on the edge of Luton town and inspected the small town and shook her head. After all, it was one of the first islands on the Grand Line. There are always pirates here and conflict is a common thing here. Unless there were something unspoiled things like the Poneglyph stone tablet, there would be no history left. After exploring the town, she returned to the original road, where she met Laffitte. It looks like youre going back, Miss Robin, but some of the guys on this island dont seem very friendly to us. Laffitte leaned on the red cane and smiled at Robin. Robin calmly said, Yes, Ive found out, so Ill go back to Captain as soon as possible. As an intelligence officer on the ship, she was naturally aware of those spying eyes on them, but she did not want to deal with them, but still in line with the duties of an intelligence officer, unless they had to deal with the situation, they would first report to Ross. Laffitte still had an elusive look, smiling and nodding at Robin. Whether it is Robin or Ross, or Laffitte, their emotions and psychology are always hard to figure out, except that the first two faces mostly remain calm in most situation, while Laffitte remains weird. Quickly. Robin and Laffitte found Ross at the harbor pier and Ross was watching a group of handymen carrying fresh water and food on board. Ghost Shadow Ship has a large bottom cargo hold. Fully stocked Freshwater and food are enough to support them for more than a few months. They only used about half of their cargo to reach Luton town from Berros town, but stocking the ship with more fresh water and food is definitely not a bad thing. Every time the ship arrives at an island, they have to try their best to fully stock essential things. Some of the ingredients purchased were noodles from the noodle shop, which tasted good. Ross thought Robin could learn from it and cook for him later. Captain, I have a message for you. Arriving at the dock, Laffitte waved his red cane and smiled at Ross. There seems to be a lot of Pirate Hunters on this island. Were already being targeted. It turned out to be Pirate Hunters. Ross nodded. He had long noticed that someone was staring at him in secret, but he didnt know whether it was Pirate or a Marines scout and he never paid attention to it. I know, dont worry about it. Seeing that Ross wasnt very worried, Laffitte whirled his cane and said: I hope these poor Pirate Hunters dont come over to find trouble, or they will be in big trouble. However. For the many Pirate Hunters gathered on Luton town, a bounty like Ross is very enticing and he is a newcomer who has just stepped on the Grand Line from West Blue, he is like a fresh fat fish on a chopping board, which cant be let go easily. Just as the freshwater and food supplements got stocked in the ship, a group of about a dozen Pirate Hunter came out of the west side of the pier. In this group of Pirate Hunter, the leader was a woman of unusual appearance, with a huge machete on her shoulder, an unusual rough face is not enough to describe her face that makes people unable to look straight at her. Immediately afterward. Another group of people came over from the east side of the dock. It was also a personal gang of about ten people. The leader was a fat man carrying a heavy machine gun, wearing a leather cap and smoking a cigarette. Seeing the two groups gathered together, the handymen carrying things on the docks showed fear, they put down the things in their hands and quickly hid. Hey! Eileen, this fat sheep was first discovered by us, get out of here! Walter, carrying a heavy gun, grinned at the rough-looking Eileen, with a wicked look on his face. Hehehe. Eileen opened her scarred eyes and sneered at Walter. When did you first find out? If you dont want to die here then scram! Walters eyes were exposed to the cold, and the tone was harsh: Smelly women, just because we let you go the last time dont think of us as weak, we are not afraid of you! Eileens eyes were cold when she heard the words. Both sides pulled out their weapons and prepared to confront each other at the wharf where Ghost Shadow Ship was located. When the situation was in a deadlock, another group of people came from the south of the pier, led by two middle-aged men, one tall and one short. They were unequal in height but looked alike and they brought more than a dozen people with them. Hey hey hey, what a lively scene? Corbelo, Barthes Are you also going to join in when you came so late? Walter looked coldly at the newcomers. Although we usually have a first come first serve rule, this is not the case right now. The tall man Corbelo grinned. Ghost Hand Pirates have a total bounty of 170 million Berries. It is already very extraordinary. You just want to eat it all, arent you afraid that you will break all your teeth?! Barthes stood beside him and smirked, Thats it. There is a pirate with such a high bounty, Im afraid, it will not be so easy to deal with him. If you can deal with him you will suffer heavy casualties, Can you survive on this island afterward? Corbelo and Barthess words made the tension in the field a little smoother. Eileen and Walter also loosened their weapons. I think its best to cooperate, 170 million Berries, even if the three of us divide it equally, it will still be a lot of money and if someone isnt satisfied, we can just wait till we have the money and fight again. Corbelo grinned. However, Walter snorted and said, You can cooperate with me, but you cant cooperate with this smelly lady! well work together to kill her first! When Eileen heard this, she suddenly showed a dangerous expression and said coldly, Walter, I think you really want to die right now! The situation in the field once again changed. However. Just then, a voice came into the arena with a slightly weird note in it. Laffitte was standing on the guardrail of the Ghost Shadow Ship, spinning a red cane and looking down at the three groups of Pirate Hunter. I say If you guys want to fight each other can you do it someplace else, our Captain and we are getting a little bored. Walter, Eileen, and others have always taken Pirates as prey, so they didnt care at first. But when they heard Laffittes words, some people turned their heads. Who are you? It seems that there is no bounty on him, a worthless fellow. Several Pirate Hunters looked at him with disdain. Others grinned at Laffitte and said, Dont worry, you wont need to be bored soon, because your journey ends here. CHAPTER 65 SHOWING THEIR STRENGTH FOR THE FIRST TIME Previous ChapterNext Chapter Ah, thats terrible news, but my journey has just begun and I dont want to end it here What do you think? Laffitte was not angry but he showed a strange smile. As soon as the first half of the sentence was finished, he disappeared silently. When he appeared again, he had already come behind the person who had just spoken, and there was a gun in his hand. ?! The people present stared at first as they were shocked because no one noticed how Laffitte suddenly came to their side, it was as if he used magic to suddenly disappear and then reappear at their side. Having a gun pointed at him, the Pirate Hunters forehead overflowed with a cold sweat, he did not expect a worthless Laffitte to suddenly disappear and then instantaneously reappear next to him. So Do you think thats the end of your journey? Laffitte still has a weird expression on his face. Bang! Almost as the cold sweat on the forehead of the Pirate Hunter slipped down from his cheek and the crowd reacted, pointing the weapon at Laffitte, Laffitte fired his gun. There was a bang sound as blood splashed and the Pirate Hunter shook, with a look of panic on his face and he fell to the ground. Damn! Kill Him! Many Pirate Hunters watched the scene, looking furious. After aiming at Laffitte they open fired and for a time the only sound that was heard was that of guns firing. But each person only fired for two or three times and then stopped pulling the trigger because Laffittes figure had disappeared again like a phantom. I am sorry about Captain. It seems that they will not kill each other. Laffitte appeared beside Ross, and the gun in his hand has disappeared and no one knew where he was hiding it. He apologized to Ross for attacking without permission. Ross didnt mind: Its Okay. At this time, many Pirate Hunter also found that Laffitte had returned to the Ghost Shadow Ship and could not help but point their weapon at Ross, Robin, and Laffitte, standing on the side of Ghost Shadow Ship. This time Eileen or Walter, instead of clashing with each other, looked at the two-man and one woman on the Ghost Shadow Ship. They were apparently shocked by Laffittes ghostly ways and the main point was that Laffitte didnt have a bounty at all. They didnt expect him to be strong. In addition to Laffittes completely respectful manner towards Ross the pirate with a bounty of 92 million Berries, Ross presence exerts heavy pressure on them. They dont seem so easy to deal with. Corbelo put away his smile and his face became very grave. He said to Walter and Eileen, Private things should be put aside first. This time, we really have to work together. Otherwise, Im afraid well really lose control of Luton town because of the heavy casualties on our part. There are many Pirate Hunters on Luton town, but they mainly belong to the three big gangs. Many foreign Pirate Hunters are excluded by them. Humph! Eileen snorted, but said nothing, apparently agreeing with Corbelo, and Walters solemn eyes expressed his intent. Since they are not so easy to deal with and no one can handle them alone with certainty, lets work together for a while and then divide the bounty. The Pirates with the bounties of 171 million Berries must possess some skills but this is the Grand Line! Walter silently stared at Ross and his companions, took the lead in pulling the trigger of the shoulder-mounted heavy machine gun and the dense bullet shower immediately swept towards Ross, Robin, and Laffitte. At the same time. Many gun-wielding Pirate Hunters also aimed at Ross and his companion and open fired, those who were carrying portable cannons, fired a cannonball towards them. Whiz! Whiz! Robin and Laffitte both retreated toward each side, Laffitte pulled out his gun to fight back and Robin crossed her arms, intending to launch an attack using her powers. However, at this time, Rosss voice was heard. Stand back, I will deal with Although Robin and Laffitte worked together to deal with this group of Pirate Hunters, Ross did not intend to stand by, but to solve it quickly. He did not like to watch a useless farce. Dense bullets were fired on Ross, all of them fixed there, all of which showed signs of distortion Ding Ding Dong! Ross hands were empty and the bullets that were stuck on him were all twisted and squeezed by a strange force, the bullets were instantly gathered in front of him and were crushed into lumps of iron. This Hes a Devil Fruit user! Walter and others stared for a moment and were immediately shocked. Although Devil Fruit users are common on the Grand Line, they still have a strong deterrent. Crack Ross threw away the pieces of iron made from the bullet and shells, he flashed and jumped off the side of the ship and landed on the dock. Come on, lets fight together! Although they dont know what Ross Devil Fruit power is, Walter and others havent seen any Devil Fruit user, and even if they are a little scared, they are able to remain calm. Among the crowds shouts, countless people pulled out their swords and rushed up to Ross. The shining swords fell fiercely on Ross. But. A strange scene appeared. All the swords touching Ross body were like mud. They twisted and bent directly and become L-shaped. The swords that stab at Ross were like snakes. Ross calmly walked forward, all the swords falling on him were twisted silently. He stretched out his fingers and stroked them gently. All the people who had been touched by his fingers showed strange twists in their bodies and their upper and lower bodies were directly separated. Damn! What kind of ghost power is this! This scene finally scared everyone, whether it was Walter or Corbelo, they were all horrified. To be a Pirate Hunter, you have to distinguish the scope of your prey. If you dont know it clearly, you will have no chance against them, just like now. Ross voice was flat, his was moving forward and wherever he went, or when his fingers touched any Pirate Hunter, their bodies were separated. In the past, Ross could only break or twisted bones and tendons of any human being, but now he can do it from a deeper level of distortion, extending from the surface to the level of cells. Where ever his fingers touched, there was no sound of bone breaking or anything like that. Even on the half-amputated bodies of Pirate Hunters, whose bodies were separated, there was no blood. It was such a weird separation of the whole body. Abominable! Eileen was grinding her teeth as she watched an unstoppable Ross step forward. Instead of flinching back, she held a huge machete in both of her hands and fiercely cut at Ross. The machete fiercely falls towards Ross. However. Faced with the huge machete, Ross showed no expression. He took back his finger and bent his finger at the coming machete as if he had no strength at all. !!. The bullet didnt even make a sound. The huge machete seemed to have turned into mud and Ross finger passed directly over it, dividing the whole machete into two parts. Thats really ugly. Ross eyes showed a rare look as he could not bear to look straight at it. When he lifted his foot, the sand under his foot surged directly, wrapping the other side around it and then twisted and squeezed. Nevertheless, Ross eyes were still not cured. He closed his eyes and used his sense of smell. The remaining seven or eight Pirate Hunters, who watched as Eileen was crushed and killed by Ross in seconds without any resistance were terrified. Hell! Is this guy really a newcomer pirate who just stepped into the Grand Line?! Looking at the Ross in the field, their backs were filled with cold sweat and fear quickly gripped their hearts. They stepped back carefully and then began to turn and flee. You came here to kill me dont expect to leave here with your lives. Ross eyes were calm and held a hint of indifference. He raised his hands and held them at the fleeing hunters, the sand under his feet rushed wildly, covering all the seven or eight people who fled. As Ross fist tightened sharply, there was a popping sound like a tomato being trampled on and afterward, there was no sound. Great Age of Pirates 12 year in January, the ghost hand Pirates stepped on the Grand Line in Luton town, one of the starting islands, He killed all the local Pirate Hunters gangs, showing his abilities for the first time on the Grand Line! CHAPTER 66 MOTION OF MARINE Previous ChapterNext Chapter On every Grand Line route, every initial island is the gathering place for Pirate Hunters, which is also the first test that all pirates who set foot on Grand Line need to go through. Only by passing this step can they become a pirate of the Grand Line. After killing the three Pirate Hunter gangs that control Luton town, no one dared to fight them. Ross and others spent three days on the island. After the magnetic storage of the Log Pose was full, they left the Luton town and headed towards the next island. At the same time. Marine Headquarters has already received news of Rosss appearance in Luton town and they have also determined Ross route. Compared with the numerous islands of West Blue, the first half of the Grand Line also has a large number of islands, but on the Grand Line the navigation depends upon the Log Pose and Eternal Pose, plus a Log Pose needs to stay on the islands for several days to store magnetism. Routes are easy to judge. And corresponding. Marine owns almost all of the Eternal Pose of the islands in the first half of Grand Line. Once deployed, Marine can reach their designated location directly without the trouble of Log Pose. Hes really here. Very well, I wont give you any more chance this time Transmit orders to the G8 Branch Base! Doberman listened to the reports from his subordinates about the appearance of Ghost Hand Pirates and the following slaughter that took place in Luton Town, his eyes revealing a killing intent in them. He did not intend to give Ross an opportunity to continue his journey and get stronger, He will work together with other Marines to eradicate Ross on the starting point of the Grand Line. Under his command. Within the G8 Marine base nearest to Ross route, the atmosphere became serious. Numerous Marines with solemn expressions were ready for departure and a large number of Battleships gathered quickly. Marine seldom initiates obliterating actions against pirates, but once they really focus upon a group of pirates, it is almost impossible for the pirates to escape! Because. In this sea, the most powerful forces are not the New Worlds Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, not even Seven Warlords of the Sea, but World Government and Marines! This is the period where Marines are the strongest. Zephyr hasnt broken his arm, Garp hasnt retired and the strongest older generation are still at their peak and there are currently three Marine Admirals, Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru behind them. It would be difficult to send troops to the sea to destroy a Yonko force, but if one of the Four Emperors forces were to engage Marine head-on, there was hardly any chance for the Yonko force to win! It has been five days since they left Luton town. In the Ghost Shadow Ship practice room, Ross is standing in front of a square piece of steel, clenching his fists and punching it continuously. He is practicing Armament Haki. With Ross current physical strength, even while using beginner level Armament Haki, any punching bag will burst open under a single punch and only the block steel can withstand his punching power. Armed! In the process of punching, Ross constantly manipulated Armament Haki around his arm to make it cohesive. Finally, after several tries, Armament Haki is condensed to a certain extent, producing a qualitative change, which instantly turned his fist black. Bang! He punched the square steel block and the sound produced shook the whole practice room. This punch leaves a very obvious punch mark on the huge and strong steel block. I can only succeed about one or two times out of ten Ross looked at his fist and before he could swing it again, the dark color on his fist could no longer be maintained. Once again, The Armament Haki on Ross fist collapsed. Starting from changing the focus of his practice and upgrading his physical fitness and Armament Haki, his physical fitness and Haki have been continuously improving. By the time he arrived at Luton town, he had been able to occasionally release Armament Haki hardening, but in most cases, it collapsed and could not be perfectly controlled. And now. Over the past five days, he has gradually mastered the real point of Armament Haki hardening and his Armament Haki is strong enough to support the hardening of both of his fists. He has been gradually able to control the strength of Armament Haki hardening slightly. Haki is up to standard, but it would be easier to harden if it could be strengthened a little more Ross looked at the square steel in front of him, with a hint of thought. Compared with Armament Haki, he did not practice Observation Haki during this period, but his Observation Haki is not low. Because Observation Hakis practice and its use are related to keeping calm, Ross can keep calm in most cases, so he is better at Observation Haki. In addition to Haki. Ross has not fallen behind in the development and practice of his Distortion Fruit. Although right now his focus is on Armament Haki, Distortion Fruit is still his most important power. From the Battle on Luton town, where he lifted the power of distortions slightly and extended it to a deeper level, it was clear that he had taken full control of the upgraded power of distortions. Ross walked out of the practice room and was about to find something to drink and he happened to see Robin sitting at the table with a cup of lemon tea on it. He walked over and took it. Robin put down her book and showed a palpitating smile and said. Captain, can you stop being so casual? Dont worry, I dont mind the casualness, where are we now? How far till the next island? Ross asked as he put down his cup and looked at the sea. The distance between Luton town and Elias Island, at the speed of Ghost Shadow Ship, it should be about ten days. Laffittes figure appeared this time, responding to Ross. Ross nodded,looking at the sea and thinking. Robins eyes paused for a moment on the cup Ross put back on the table, put down the book in her hand and said to Ross, We may be blocked by the Marines on the next island. Oh? Ross turned to Robin. Robin said in a positive tone: Before, on Luton town, I gathered information about several islands in the nearby sea and found that Marines G8 branch base is very close to our route. Its almost impossible for the ordinary Pirates who has just set foot on the Grand Line to attract an all-out encirclement and suppression from a Marine branch, but theGhost-Hand Pirates are different, It is impossible for Marines to not move against them. The Marine branch on the Grand Line is not comparable to the West Blue branch, here they are equipped with at least two Vice-Admirals branches and a large number of Battleships. The heavy cannons loaded on the large Battleships are far more powerful than the small cannons. It will not take them long to destroy a ship like Ghost Shadow Ship in the case of concentrated bombardment. CHAPTER 67 ARRIVAL Previous ChapterNext Chapter G8 branch Rosss eyes flashed lightly and said: We can only follow the Log Pose, we cant bypass the next island. This kind of thing cant be avoided. If they want to come and fight us, let them come. Robin gently smiled and sat back in the chair, saying: Captain is still so confident. Although she had a smile on her face, her tone was not relaxed. Ross actions have angered Marine executives and she is also wanted by the World Government and before entering the Grand Line, they have already turned the West Blue upside down, attracting a lot of attention. In this case, once their whereabouts are revealed, Marine will inevitably go all out to encircle and suppress them and will not give them the opportunity to grow up, because they are obviously far more dangerous than other Pirates. Compared with other Pirates crew, their crew recruited people along the way and grew up slowly. As soon as they stepped into Grand Lines second island, they will be faced with the full encirclement and suppression of the Marines massive forces. This will be an unavoidable and most dangerous encirclement and suppression. Only by escaping from this siege and suppression can they really stand firm on the Grand Line without any fear of capsizing at any time. Since they are coming for us and we cant escape, then let them come, I am not afraid of them. Ross responded calmly. As he said, since they cant avoid the Marines then they must be prepared to face them and this is not a desperate situation. On the contrary, this will be the beginning that will make the Marine Headquarters fear him! I didnt want to become a pirate. You made me one. Now, Im here. I dont know but are you ready? Ross looked at the moving sea in the distance, his eyes flashed slightly, then he went into his cabin and went back to the practice room and began to exercise again. Five days later. Ghost Shadow Ship arrived at the second island of the Grand Line, Elias Island, a large island with a country, the kingdom of Elias. In the face of oppression, people can always stimulate more of their potential, perhaps because of the forthcoming decisive battle, Ross physical fitness and Haki in these five days improved a lot. The otherwise unstable Armament Haki has gradually stabilized and the failure rate of Armament Haki hardening has become very low. As long as Ross is absolutely calm and focused, there will be almost no failure. This is only a short distance away from mastering Armament Haki hardening thoroughly. And If he encounters a Battle, this line will be quickly crossed. In the One Piece World, Fights are always one of the most effective ways to stimulate your potential. It will take at least one week before the Log Pose can record and store the magnetic waves of this island. Looking ahead at the Elias island, Laffitte glanced at the Log Pose worn on his wrist. No problem. Ross stood in front of the deck and looked at the island in front of him, instructing everyone to drive the ship to the west side of the Elias island, below a cliff and to drop the anchor there. The purpose of not stopping at the port is to avoid the direct bombardment of the Marines after the direct exposure of their ship at the port, although he is not afraid of the bombardment, the Ghost Shadow Ship is different, although the ship is very strong, but If the ship is bombarded with a large number of Big cannons on the Battleships, even if it is not sunk, it will be badly damaged. Can you go up? Ross looked up at the cliff about 30 meters above and asked Laffitte and Robin. Laffitte glanced up and said, No problem. This height I can give it a try. Robin judged and responded slightly slowly. Oh! After Laffitte finished, he flicked his stick lightly and two white wings appeared behind him. With a flicker, he flew over the cliff. Devil Fruit, what ability is it. Ross wasnt surprised to see this. It was Laffittes ability in his memory, but he had no intention of asking. Cien FleurWings Robin watched Laffitte fly up. She took a deep breath, crossed her hands in front of her and started her ability. Suddenly, countless arms gushed out with the petals, joined together on her shoulders and formed two wings and she flapped them hard and flew up. Robins figure is perfect, slender waist and slender legs are not to be criticized, but flying is hard for her and it was obviously not because she was fat, but because the development of her devil fruit is not enough. Ross looked at the scene and shook his head slightly. Your fruit development is a bit poor, should we redevelop it? Ross said. Crash! Robin barely flew to about twenty-five meters, and finally could no longer control the wings composed of countless arms. The wings collapsed into petals and disappeared. However, instead of falling directly, she leaned on the edge of the cliff and prepared for it and made arms at the edge of the cliff, like a trestle and stepped up step by step. Ross watched as Robin walk up like this, feeling that the plot seemed a little wrong, but he still silently retrieved his slightly open arms. Seeing that Laffitte and Robin had already boarded the island, Ross turned to the ships handyman and said, You guys, if theres any trouble on this side, let me know immediately with Den Den Mushi. Den Den Mushi is so convenient for Marine to use. Ross Naturally cant let it go. After Laffitte got on board, he has been searching and equipping them. Now there are three of them. One is placed on the ship and the other two are held by Laffitte and Robin. Yes! Captain! The handyman was awed by Ross. After Laffitte got on board, Ross let Laffitte hypnotize and brainwash their group. Their loyalty has basically reached the Maximum Value. Whiz! After giving the order, Ross leaped and made a few empty steps in the air. He used Geppo and rushed up towards the cliff in a flash. Laffitte and Robin were waiting on the edge of the cliff. Robin and I will go and Laffitte you can act alone and keep in touch with us if anything happens, Ross said to Laffitte. Yes, Captain. The wings on Laffittes back have long since disappeared. He slightly smiled and put his cane behind his back and bows to Ross The three of them walked towards the island and then separated on the edge of the Elias kingdom. At the same time. Somewhere in the sea, led by two large Battleships, plus three medium-sized Battleship fleets are sailing at full speed on the sea, only four days away from the Elias island! CHAPTER 68*HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter The Kingdom of Elias. This country is very developed in its services and is one of the most famous hot spring countries in the world. Various hot springs can be seen everywhere and some world famous people often come here to experience high-grade hot spring baths. In the independent corner of an upscale spa, there is a single spa room with a radius of about 45 meters. The facilities in the room are elegant and luxurious. Ross is lying quietly on the edge of the spa with his eyes closed. There are also largely shared hot springs outside, but he prefers separate hot springs pools. If Robin wants to come in, Ross will not mind. Since he became a pirate, he has rarely enjoyed leisure. When he was a Pirate Hunter in West Blue, he used to relax between hunting pirates, but now he spends most of his time on his ship sailing at sea. While Ross was relaxing and stretching, there was suddenly a depressed sound. Puru Puru Puru.. Ross opens his eyes and walks out of the water, he grabs a clean towel and wipes himself, then he goes towards his clothes and pulls out a Den Den Mushi from the pocket. After the connection was established, Laffittes voice came from Den Den Mushi. Captain, Ive found something that might be very useful here. Oh? What is it? Ross asked as he dressed. Laffitte hides in a corner and speaks into the Den Den Mushi in a slightly low voice. A special Log Pose, with three Poses on it, it is said to be High-Level Log Pose from the second half of Grand Line, which can point to three islands at the same time. Listening to Laffitte, Rosss eyes flickered slightly. He naturally knew about this kind of Log Pose, but he didnt expect to find one in the first half of the Grand Line. The question is can this Log Pose be used in the first half of the Grand Line? But if you think about it carefully, the three-arrow Log Pose itself is an upgraded version of the ordinary Log Pose, which can be used in the New World, So it is very likely that it can be also used in the first half of the Grand Line. Where are you? Ross asked Laffitte after a little thought. If the three-arrowed HIGH-Level Log Pose works in the first half of the Grand Line, he will not be confined to a single route, so that even if a Marine Admiral wants to come after him, he must first determine his exact location. Beth Street Laffittes voice was vividly imitated by the Den Den Mushi: That Log Pose seems to have come from a private dark exchange and now theres fighting between at least three groups of Pirates. Obviously, Ross is not the only one who wants the Hig- Level Log Pose. If its available in the first half of the Grand Line then its one of the best navigational equipment for most pirates. Watch it and wait for me. Ross heard Laffittes words and quickly put on his clothes, he pushed open the door and went out, He said to Robin in the lounge, Lets go to Laffitte. Robin put down the newspaper in her hand, looked blankly at the Captain who had recently invited her to soak in the hot spring, then stood up and followed. Beth Street. The screams and the sound of gunfire went together and a large number of people fled crazily. Some of them were well-dressed and some were only covered with bath towels, but nobody cared much about it at this time. The streets have become a battlefield for several groups of forces, three of which were pirates and one was the local criminal organization, fighting in chaos. Captain, you are here. Ross and Robin appeared at a roadway entrance and Laffitte emerged from the darkness at the right time, lifting his cane and pointing in one direction. The Pirates over there now owns the Log Pose and they are now under siege by three other groups. They tried to broke through twice but failed. Now they have retreated to the three-story building. I see. Ross nodded, after looking at the building in the distance, he walked straight out of the lane and walked over to the three-story building. By this time, the streets were already in a mess, smoke and rubble were spread everywhere. Everyone was looking for shelter from guns. Few people were huddled together. Ross swaggered out and immediately attracted a lot of attention from people in several directions. Captain, someone is coming! Hiding behind a bunker, a Pirate Captain looked at Ross at the street not far away, his eyes were shimmering with cold fury and he said, He is not one of our men, kill him! Bang! Bang! Bang! At his command, four or five pirates around him immediately opened fire on Ross, and a heavy shower of bullets hit Ross head-on. Strangely enough, Ross just turned his head a little and shrank his shoulders in the rain of guns and walked safely through it without a bullet hitting him. Not hit? The Pirates were surprised. The Pirate Captains eye flashed and he murmured, No, the bullets were evaded This fellow is not an ordinary person. Be careful! People who can avoid bullets are quick and agile. If he hadnt had a bounty of 50 million Berries and had seen the strongest people in all walks of life, he would have withdrawn decisively by this time. Ross did not deal with the chaotic pirate and criminal organizations. His goal was to get the Log Pose first so that the pirates in the building would not jump into the wall and destroy the Log Pose and he gets nothing. After several rounds of bullet fire, Ross approached the three-story building, where some people opened fire on Ross, but all were evaded by Ross. Damn it, why cant you get hit?! Because Ross did not show any overwhelming power, the pirates in the building were amazed, but they were not terrified enough to run away. Finally. Ross came to the bottom of the three-story building and went straight through the main door, he clapped his hands on both sides and a series of bullets fired in the front changed their trajectory and hit back in the opposite direction. Two pirates fell to the ground in a splash of blood. Whiz! Ross no longer concealed his speed and in a flash, he was upon the last pirate in the lobby on the first floor, with his foot on the pirates chest, he calmly asked: Where is the Log Pose? WithCaptain The pirate saw two of his companions die without resistance and then he responded with a trembling voice to Ross eyes, which had no feelings for life. Where is your Captain? Upstairs third floor Ross loosened his legs indifferently and walked over him, heading for the second floor. When Pirate saw Ross walking past him, his unprepared back was facing him and his fear subsided slightly. Instead, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the guns on the ground. Bang! But before he could aim the guns at Ross, the floor on the first floor was suddenly overturned by some strange force. From the two sides to the middle, it was instantly closed together and everything in the middle was squashed together. Ross did not look back, nor did he stop, and went up to the second floor. Chapter 68 New worlds Log Pose CHAPTER 69 SUCCESSFULLY ACQUIRED Previous ChapterNext Chapter There were five people on the second floor. Three guns and a portable cannon were all aimed at the stairway. At the moment Ross appeared, they fired at him. Bang! Bang! Bang! More than a dozen bullets, together with a fist-sized cannonball swept towards Ross, but strangely, all of them were fixed in the air at the moment they touched Ross. is the ability! Hell! Several pirates on the second floor were shocked when they saw this scene. One of them gritted his teeth and waved his sword and slammed into Ross. Bang! Ross raised his hand, his wrists leaving afterimage after them, he strokes the fixed bullets and cannonball and all the bullets and cannonballs were reflected back. Before the mans sword hit Ross, more than ten bullets hit him leaving ten holes in his body. The sword in his hand was blown up by the cannonball and he was left there bleeding. This When the remaining four pirates saw this scene, they were all shocked. Ross strength was incredible. They were not his opponents at all! Without waiting for the four pirates in front of him, Ross kept walking towards the stairway leading to the third floor. When he came to the stairway, the ceiling on the first floor surged under his feet, twisting violently and squeezing toward the center. Puff! The four pirates were wrapped up in it without any resistance and four popping sound was heard at the same time. Blood stained the walls and ceilings on the second floor. Ross went towards the third floor. Captain, that guy is coming up! The third floor is already in chaos. Although there are many people here, they have to deal with the guns and cannons firing at them from outside and now they had listened to the terrible news from downstairs with shock and terror. The leader of the Pirates, a man with a brown beard and a triangular cap, he calmly listened to the motions on the second floor. He took pulled an axe from behind him and said, Dont panic. Whiz! Just as Ross walked up to the third floor, The pirate captain held the axe in his hands and tried his best to attack him. An axe slammed down towards Ross. Before the axe fell, a strong wind that seemed to tear the flesh of human beings and make their skin crawl appeared. Nevertheless, in the face of this horrible axe, Ross had no intention of avoiding it at all. He just raised his hand and prepared to take the falling axe with one hand. Courting Death! The brown-bearded pirate saw that Ross has the intent to block his axe with his bare hands and his eyes flashed angrily, he pushed his axe with all of his strength and the axe slams down towards Ross planning to smash him into two pieces. And the instant that the axe touched Ross palm, the violent wind was stifled by a strange force between the axe and Ross palm. And the huge axe blade was directly frozen in the air as it was grasped by Ross with one hand, the axe couldnt even move forward by a single centimeter. The power contained in it was rigidly blocked down! This is impossible! The brown-bearded pirate pupil violently contracted and his face showed a look of horror and incredulity. He had used his full power which was enough to cut solid iron plates. He could even cut a solid wall with his axe, but the man in front of him actually blocked his axe bare-handed! Without waiting for him to do anything again, Ross slightly pressed his five fingers and the axe suddenly twisted under the power of distortion, the power of distortion spread all the way down to the axe handle in the blink of an eye, Turing the entire axe into scrap iron. Clang! Ross casually threw the scrap iron on the ground and under the horrified gaze of the Pirate Captain, he stepped forward and lunged at his wrist with his fingers, taking away the Log Pose on it. Damn it! Seeing that he had been robbed by Ross and his crew has suffered heavy losses by Ross hand, The Pirate Captain was angry and resentful as he said. So what if you steal it, you are also trapped here and you cant get away! You dont need to bother about that, you are already useless to me. Ross looked at the three-arrowed Log Pose in his hand and gently put it in his pocket and then indifferently glanced at the Pirate Captain and his crew in front of him, lifting his foot. Buzz!! The power of distortion erupted from Ross foot and spread in all directions. It expanded from the third floor to the first floor, covering the whole building in an instant. Then Ross raised his hand and suddenly clenched his fist in the void. Bang! Under the horror and fear filled eyes of the pirates, the walls, ceilings, and everything were all twisted in a weird spiral and the whole building suddenly twisted and squeezed toward the center. In the eyes of the other three forces outside who surrounded the building. They felt as if the building was suddenly grabbed by an invisible giant, with one of his hand holding the upper part of the building while the other hand holding the lower part and twisting the entire building. The whole building was squeezed into a ball-shaped structure! This what happened?! Looking at this scene, almost everyones face showed a bit of horror, even the pirates with 45 million berries bounties on their head were scared as they watched a three-story building twisted and squeezed into itself. When the building was completely twisted into a ball, it remains suspended for a half second before it suddenly exploded, turning into countless gravel splashing in all directions. Boom Bang Most of the buildings around the rubble collapsed and two Pirates and many members of the local criminal organization were smashed into a mess. The surroundings were destroyed almost instantaneously. It was when the building was completely destroyed that Ross emerged from it, without any blood or even any damage to his clothes and landed on the ground in the middle of the street that had been destroyed and he was almost completely exposed to the members of pirates and criminal organization. Looking at the figure in clean shirt and autumn cloak, with slightly wet hair and calm and indifferent eyes, everyone could not help but swallow their saliva and stare at each other. Without a doubt. It was this man who twisted the building into a mass of ruins. Although they did not know how he did it, the scene just now has shocked everyone. It seems that Captain has already succeeded. On the roof of a building not far away, Laffitte laughed as he avoided the splashing stones. Laffitte and Robin saw Ross in the middle of the street. The atmosphere in the field stagnant for a few seconds. Neither the members of the criminal organization nor the other two Pirates did anything about it. Obviously, the scene just happened was too horrible for them to know whether to fight or retreat. But them not moving didnt mean that Ross would stand still. Just a few seconds later, Ross glanced calmly across the crowd and stepped forward. Bang! The power of distortion was poured into the earth and the ground suddenly surged like a wave, spreading in all direction. The terrifying momentum shook the entire street. Hard rocks are much more difficult to twist and manipulate than sand, but Ross current power of distortion still covers an area of tens of meters in a circle. Whathell What power is this The remaining two Pirate crew and the criminal organization members were hit hard and all the surviving people were horrified and they didnt think much before fleeing in in all direction. The audience was shocked! Even Laffitte and Robin could not keep their faces calm watching the streets within tens of meters surge like waves. Watching the near-destroyed scene the ordinary people and nobles fled to distant places. After a long time. It was not until the countless rocks that had been raised in the street fell back that everything was quiet and Laffitte breathed softly and said. It seems that following Captain Ross was the correct choice. CHAPTER 70 MARINES ARRIVE Previous ChapterNext Chapter On Beth Street, the top floor of a four-story hotel. In front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the center of the hotel, a figure that looks like some kind of long ostrich is standing there wearing a high ceremonial hat, looking at the battlefield in the distance with great interest. Is it Ghost Hand Pirates? He is one of the emperors of the Dark World, President Morgan of the Great News Agency, who was associated with BIGMOM Pirates and controlled a large number of news agencies and newspapers in the world, with whom even the World Government had a little cooperation. He knows something about Ghost Hand Ross, who took some big actions in West Blue and stepped into the Grand Line and he even specially arranged some small newspaper pages for him. So he has finally arrived in the Grand Line, He is quite strong. His gaze crossed several streets and his eyes were like that of a bird, staring at Ross location and looking at Ross. Morgans looked for a few seconds and took a cup with his hand, sipping tea in his mouth and turned to look at the border area of the Kingdom of Elias, with a smile on his face. If he can survive this crisis, then the title of the most dazzling supernova in the first half of the Grand Line will belong to him. In the direction Morgans looked, there was a large amount of Marine rushing into the street! Marine G8 Fleet Arrive in Elias! Beth Street. After killing a large number of pirates and criminal organizations members, Ross did not chase down the small fries that had been frightened and fled crazily but turned to Robin and Laffitte. After finding Laffitte and Robin on a roof, Ross took the Log Pose out of his pocket and threw it at Laffitte. See if it works. Laffitte accurately reached for it and looked at it and murmured, Its impossible to judge it just by looking at it like this. We cant deduce it until our Log Poses magnetism is fully stored. If the direction indicated by the single arrow Log Pose is one of the directions indicated by the three-arrow High-Level Log Pose, then it will be clear that the three-arrow High-Level Log Pose is usable and can be directed to three islands without being fixed on a single route. Then we will wait. Ross nodded, before confirming that the High-Level Log Pose can be used, it is impossible to throw away the original Log Pose and sail the sea. If that new Log Pose didnt work then it will be a very troublesome thing. Just as Laffitte picked up the new Log Pose and put it on his other wrist, Robin who was standing a little far from the building, suddenly rushed forward with a heavy face. Captain! Marines are here. When Ross and Laffitte heard Robins words, they looked in the direction Robin was pointing. They saw that there were a lot of Marines on the streets. The original chaotic streets were restored to order because of the arrival of Marines, but these Marines obviously did not come for the outbreak of Battle here. Looking at the scale and level, they obviously had only one goal That is Ghost Hand Pirates! They are quite fast. Ross stood there, his eyes calm and indifferent as he looks towards the streets where a large number of Marines quickly surrounded the Beth Street. Captain? Laffitte turned to Ross, revealing a look that asked `Fight or retreat. Ross looked at the large number of Marines that surrounded him and his eyes flashed. He quickly made a decision and said, You and Robin will go back to the ship. Let me try out the strength of these Marines. The Marine base on Grand Line is planning to attack him, They will most likely be led by a Vice-Admiral, followed by Marine Rear Admirals and a large number of Marines elite and powerful lineup. Laffitte and Robin may be able to cope with a group of Marine elites, but the situation is bound to become very unfavorable in the face of the siege of Marine Rear Admiral and countless elite marines. As for himself, he has no fear of the army tactics and he has a certain confidence in his own strength. Even if he can not fight, it will not be a problem for him to retreat in such a mixed street. At this time. The speed advantage of Ghost Shadow Ship is vivid. Even if they cant deal with the Marines, as long as they board the Ghost Shadow Ship and retreat, Marines will only be able to watch the Ghost Shadow Ship disappearing in the horizon with all her might. Sorry, Captain, I want to play with these Marines a little and Miss Intelligence will be able to return to the ship by herself. When Laffitte heard Ross words he shook his cane with a smile on his face. Okay. Ross nodded calmly. The most prominent feature of Laffitte and Robin is that they dont get lost like Zoro and they wont get distracted by any beautiful women like Sanji. In most cases, they dont need to bother him. Okay, you both be careful. Robin nodded calmly next to him. Laffitte and Ross were confident that they could get away from Marines siege. Naturally, she would not stay to cause trouble. Besides, the Ghost Shadow Ship needed her to take charge as to prepare her for sailing at any time. Suddenly, Marine restored calm to the chaotic Beth Street and countless civilian and nobles were all settled down in town and no longer fled in panic. However. There are also many people who showed a strange expression. The battle just happened here and In less than an hour, Marine came. It was a little too fast. Normally, they didnt come until the fighting has finished and everyone has escaped! Have you discovered that there are a lot more Marines then normal Someone watched the line of Marines move forward, occupying all the streets in all directions and surrounding the entire Beth Street. The man next to him seemed to have just recovered from the chaos. He shook his head and said, Who knows? Maybe its to protect somebody. After all, this is the most famous hot spring country in the world. Apart from tenryubito, who disdains to live with ordinary people, many nobles like to come here for vacation and leisure. No. Someone shook his head and the light in his eyes twinkled. He said, Im afraid its not as simple as protecting someone. Look over there There is a Vice-Admiral here. Looking in his direction, they saw a man in Marine Justice Cloak with Vice-Admirals epaulets embroidered on his shoulders. He was walking in front of all Marines with a fierce face. He is the Vice-Admiral Dalmatian of Marine G8 Branch. Behind Dalmatian, there were three Marine Rear Admiral Rear Admiral Atheus, you lead the second team from the west, Rear Admiral Hez, you lead the third team from the south, Rear Admiral Roma, you lead the fourth team from the north, you must lock all the Ghost Hands Pirates in Beth Street area! Remember, once you find Ghost Hand Ross, dont fight, just report to me! CHAPTER 71 FIGHTING Following Dalmatians orders, the three Rear Admirals responded and swiftly turned around and sped away with their Marine ranks without any hesitation. Dalmatian watched the three Rear Admirals go away calmly and then led the first team to the east entrance of Beth Street District, closing the last gap. Ghost Hand Pirates The pirates that gave so many headaches to Doberman, lets see if you are worth the effort. Dalmatian rubbed his fist as he walked with a slight grin on his face. He and Doberman became Marines at the same time. Doberman made more contributions than him and he became a Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral before him. But he was not far from that position, It will take him a year and a half at most to become a Vice-Admiral of the Headquarters. He had heard about Ghost Hand Ross and he knew that one Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo had fallen by Ross hands, so even if Ross only has a bounty of 92 million Berries and he has just entered the Grand Line from West Blue, he would not be careless. There are four Rear Admiral in the base and he had bought three of them with him, together with a large number of elite troops, he had bought nearly three-quarters of the forces of the G8 branch base with him! He will not give Ross an opportunity to escape and grow. At this time. Marines goal is to wipe out the Ghost Hand Pirates and they quickly spread out and covered the entire country. Ghost hand Pirates? Never heard of them, There is such a big movement to capture some unknown pirates? Someone looked at Marines and frowned. Someone snorted alongside him and said, Do you think Marines are that idle and has nothing to do to but deliberately deploy such a huge force? I have read about The Ghost Hand Pirates in the newspaper, They are said to be the most ferocious Pirates of West Blue. Even the fleet led by Headquarters Rear Admiral was defeated by him. Headquarters Rear Admirals fleet was defeated? thats a terrifying guy This piece of news surprised many people in the vicinity, even ordinary civilians know that the rank of the Rear Admiral is a very high position and some can attain it. Im afraid that it was the Ghost Hand Pirates who made such a big move just now. The news spread everywhere. A large number of civilians and nobles were evacuated from Beth Street under Marines escort. They had already run out because of the sudden outbreak on the so the evacuation was extremely easy. Bounty of 92 million Berries, I did not expect that this level of pirate will appear here, its a little scary, but fortunately I already got out A Marine Vice-Admiral has been dispatched. With such a huge force, these Ghost Hand Pirates may not be able to live for long so we dont need to worry about it. Some businessmen and aristocrats gathered together to talk about it. For them, pirates are there most hated existence, especially this level of Pirates, once the pirates attack them, they will be robbed and killed. Marine sent such a huge force, which undoubtedly made them feel calm. The scene of thousands of Marine soldiers surrounded the entire block is very shocking. Although the power displayed by Ghost Hand Ross was somewhat terrible, Marine has Vice-Admiral with them! Even a pirate with the bounty of 200 million berries will not attract such force. Beth Street area. The people here have been already evacuated and the entire block has become oppressive. Marine, armed with swords and guns, keeps pushing along the street in a carpet-like manner. Rear Admiral Atheus pulled out his sword and walked in front of the team with a solemn face. Keep your spirits up! Dont be careless. The pirates we are dealing with this time are not ordinary. Even if we have a large force, we may suffer heavy casualties!! Yes! Many Marines soldiers responded, all of them knew about the Ghost-Hand Pirates, but they were not too afraid to walk behind a Rear Admiral and many Marines Captains. As they walked for a while to a slightly darker block, Atheus stopped at the front and stared sharply at a figure in front of them. Huh-huh, Rear Admiral? Theres such a huge force Get out here with your hands up. Atheus pointed his sword at Laffitte, the official crew of the Ghost Hand Pirates had a total of three people, although Laffitte did not have a bounty, his appearance has long been photographed. Pointed at by countless guns, Laffitte did not show any signs of panic. Instead, he showed a strange smile and said, What if I saidNO? Then execution on the spot! Atheuss eyes flashed and he used Soru to rush towards Laffitte. If he met Ross, he would immediately let his subordinates notify Dalmatian and be alert and delay for a time, but when he met a guy who didnt even have a bounty, he didnt have to be so cautious. However. Laffittes method was somewhat unexpected. When he rushed to Laffitte and thrust a sword through Laffittes body, he realized that he was only stabbing a piece of cloth. Huh? Atheus stared a little and turned his head and saw Laffittes figure behind the Marines, spinning his mahogany cane. Then something unexpected happened. Marines fired the guns in their hand at each other and killed them. Some of them rushed towards him and shouted. Damn it! What did you do?! Atheus looked angry as he didnt expect Laffitte to have such methods. He avoided the bullets from his subordinates and rushed towards Laffitte. Laffitte smiled and said, Whoop, just a little hypnosis. Laffitte is entangled with Marines led by Atheus, while Rear Admiral Hez, on the other hand, meets Ross who is waiting quietly at an alley entrance. Seeing Ross, Hezs face showed vigilance and alertness. He also signaling his subordinates to inform Dalmatian, then he pulled out two exquisite guns and pointed them at Ross. Ghost Hand Ross, You are under arrest, dont resist or you will be executed here! Ross looked at Hez with a blank expression. If Kizaru was in this position, he might raise his hands in surrender, but he remained calm. Ross didnt have much interest in fighting a Rear Admiral. A meaningless threat. He spoke calmly and gently and did not rush over. Instead, he opened his hands and pointed them towards Hez and the Marine while making a strangling motion with them. Bang! Suddenly, the earth cracked under the influence of the Distortion Fruit and spread far away. In Hezs area, several buildings on both sides collapsed and squeezed towards the center like rubber under the actions of the power of distortion. CHAPTER 72 2 REAR ADMIRAL Previous ChapterNext Chapter What the hell! Looking at the buildings on both sides of the street twisting and collapsing, many Marines holding guns in their hands showed a look of horror and a trace of fear in their eyes. Block! Block it! Even though the Marines were terrified, they still pulled out their swords or some even went barehanded and charged into the collapsed building in an attempt to destroy and prop it up. However, even if they work together, they still couldnt stop the collapse of the building. And the power of distortion was transmitted through the building and into their bodies, causing a sharp pain in their bodies, they felt as if their muscles have been separated. Rumble! As the building was twisting, the walls gradually collapsed and countless stones splashed down. The entire street seemed to squeeze into a ball. And at this moment, sword energy suddenly burst from the end of the street, splitting the squeezed street and leaving a crack on the ground! Whiz! A figure rushed into the street. He was short and stout, dressed in Marine justice cloak, with Rear Admirals shoulder band embroidered on his shoulder. It was Rear Admiral Roma of Marine Branch. Hez, are you okay? After Roma cut the collapsed building and rushed in, he shouted at Hez who was trying to block the collapsed building. Hez rubbed his wrist and shook his head as he looked towards Ross in the distance with fear and said, Im all right What about Vice-Admiral Dalmatian? Almost here. Roma responded quietly and turned towards Ross, holding the handle of his sword in both hands and saying, Lets stop him until Vice-Admiral comes. Hez nodded as his expression returned to seriousness, he stood with Roma. Ross killed Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo, they also know that they were not as strong as Onigumo much less Ross who killed him, but if they work together, they should be able to block him for some time, as long as Vice Admiral Dalmatian arrives, Ghost Hand Ross will be stopped! Escape? Ross looked at Roma in the rescue field with a calm expression. He didnt want to talk but when he heard Romas words, he couldnt understand something. He said: what makes you think that Im going to run away? In this sea, in most cases, pirates run away when they meet Marines. Even if the Marines force is not enough to defeat them, there are few pirates who would want to confront Marines. The reason for this result is that in this sea, pirate forces are as many as stars and like stars, they are scattered, while Marine forces are a single entity. Even if some pirate kills the Marine who pursued them, it will only irritate Marine and they will chase him relentlessly and the pursued pirate will lose his opportunity to fight with other pirates. Apart from the Revolutionary Army, there are few pirates who are confronting Marine and the government. Most of the time when pirates meet Marine, they will turn around and flees regardless of the strength of Marines forces. But. Ross is not one of the pirates mentioned above. When he meets Marine, his first reaction is never to run away but to confront the marines. The main reason for this is because the Marines forced him into becoming a Pirate. Moreover, the existence of the Talent System makes Marines contradiction with him irreconcilable, The only relationship between them is that of a hunter and his prey. Romas expression changed slightly when he heard Rosss words. In the past, when a pirate met Marines they ran away but from Ross attitude, he did not seem to have any intention of retreating, but he intended to confront them! Madman. This is Romas evaluation of Ross and his confrontation with Marine can no longer be described by the word rampant, in Romas view, it is simply incomprehensible behavior. The next moment, Ross moved. With a gentle step under his feet, Ross used Soru and turned into a shadow. He suddenly charges towards Roma and Hez, with his left and right hands clenched and attacked them separately. Here he comes! Watch out! Hezs intention was to confront Ross without retreating, but he was afraid as Ross wanted to fight them which is incomprehensible and he is strong enough to defeat them. When Ross rushed in, the two men, who had already been on guard moved at the same time. Roma held a huge sword in both hands and broke out with a fierce sword attack against Ross fist. One Sword Flow, Power Strike! At the same time, Hez accurately captured Ross figure and jumped backward to avoided Ross punch while the two guns in his hands were firing at Ross with a series of Seastone bullets that had just been filled in. Bang! The heavy blow from the giant sword collapsed under the power of Distortion Fist and Roma flew backward, his arms were sore and the giant sword was completely twisted. As for the series of Seastone bullets fired by Hez, Ross simply turned his head and shoulders slightly and avoided all the bullets. The Seastone bullets which have a weak effect in front of a strong Haki can be avoided or blocked by both Observation Haki and Armament Haki. Even. Some peoples physiques are strong enough that the seastone bullets wont even be able to penetrate their skin. This is a Marine Rear Admiral on Grand Line? There seems to be nothing different. By performing some subtle moves, Rosss is able to avoid the seastone bullets. He looks up calmly at Hez and suddenly disappears like a bubble. Watching Ross disappear suddenly, Hez was horrified. He only felt a chill on his back and he did not hesitate to enter the state of Kami-e (Paper Drawing) in Marines Rokushiki. Whiz! The next moment, Ross appeared on his left side and punched. Hez was able to avoid Rosss frontal punch with Kami-e (Paper Drawing), but half of his shoulder was still touched by Rosss fist. It was just a little scratch, but in less than a second, the power of distortion was poured into his shoulder, causing his entire shoulder to suddenly show a strange twist. Ah! Hez covered his arm and retreated with horror and fear in his eyes. At the same time, Roma, who supported him saw the abnormal twist in Hezs shoulder and cold sweat flowed on his forehead, he slammed the giant twisted sword in his hand towards Ross. Ross didnt retreat. His eyes were calm and indifferent. He directly grabbed the sword blade with his hand and the power of distortion surged from his hand as he squeezed the huge sword with his five fingers. Kch! With a slight effort from his five fingers, the two-meter-long sword broke off from the middle and the rest of it was spirally twisted, spreading towards Roma. CHAPTER 73 DALMATIAN Previous ChapterNext Chapter Roma did not hesitate to let go of his hand and retreat but he was still a little bit affected by the power of distortion and there was a sharp pain in the palm of his hand. He was shocked when he saw the dense blood inside his palm, which was heart-rending. Rear Admiral Roma! Rear Admiral Hez! Not far away, many Marine lieutenants and soldiers watched as Roma and Hez attacked Ross together and seeing that both Rear Admiral wouldnt be able to defeat Ross they were shocked. Roma and Hezs strength is second only to Atheus and Vice-Admiral Dalmatian in their G8 marine base. In the past, even if they had more than a dozen elite marines lieutenants working together against them, they were not Roma and Hezs opponents in training. Even a Headquarters Rear Admiral wont be able to defeat them when they worked together but now they are being suppressed by Ross. The gap in strength is far too wide. In the panic, the Marine Captain reacted and ordered the marines to pull out their weapons and attack Ross. Quickly give them cover fire! Support Rear Admiral Roma and Rear Admiral Hez! Under orders, the Marines rushed up with weapons to attack Ross even though their hearts were filled with fear and horror, After all, they were the elites of the G8 branch base. Ross calmly looked at the Marines who were rushing toward him. For Marine, he can remain neutral as long as they are not monsters in human form or provokes him, but all those who try to attack with him will be regarded as enemies. Ross will kill his enemies. Bang! Ross raised his legs and step on the ground under his feet. A power of distortions poured into the ground and spread in all directions with him as the center, Ross spread the power of distortion to the limit. Distortion Whirlpool strangulation! In the next moment, the ground beneath Rosss feet suddenly moved and the thick bluestone bricks broke apart inch by inch centering on Ross and began to twist and rotate. Ten meters twenty meters thirty meters The range of rotation expanded in all directions at an extremely fast rate until it becomes a circular area centered on Ross with a radius of nearly fifty meters covering all the Marines who were trying to attack Ross. In a short period of time, the entire area, whether it was stone, mud or building, is turned into a wave-like whirlpool which rotated counterclockwise. What happened? What did that guy do?! The ground the ground is moving! After Marine noticed the abnormality of the ground and the buildings around them, their hearts began to feel a kind of inexplicable fear. The initial speed of the ground rotation is not fast, but it gradually becomes faster. In a short second, many Marines cant keep standing up and they fall on the cracked and moving ground. Two seconds. Many buildings in all directions began to collapse one after another. Three seconds. With Ross as the center in the circular area of 50 meters, everything is completely turned into a mud-like whirlpool. The earth is cracked and no good road can be seen. All the stones are broken into small pieces and surged like debris flows. Five seconds. All the buildings collapsed and turned into rubble. Many Marines did couldnt even scream out as they were buried in the mud like ground and many broken limbs and bones could be seen, some lieutenants struggled reluctantly in the whirlpool but they could not escape it at all. As for the two Rear Admiral, Hez and Roma, although they have the intention to stop Ross, both of them have an injured arm. In this whirlpool, they are only able to protect themselves. They can only watch as this piece of land become a grinding disc that smashed everything and took many lives away. Fifty meters away. There were also many Marines gathering here but at this moment all of their faces were fearful and frightened and no one dared to step into the whirlpool at all. How short is the time of five seconds, all the Marines watched as everything in the 100-meter area turn into ruins, crushing and rotating everything, which is a shocking scene that is difficult to describe in words! Seven seconds. The vast majority of Marine Captains and soldiers died, leaving only two or three Marine Captains and Roma and Hez who still had some strength to support themselves. Finally. Just as time passed to the eighth second, a roar came from a distance. Damn, stop it! Almost at the moment when the roar fell, a figure rushed into the whirlpool and attacked Ross with his black fist which was coated in Armament Haki Hardening. Marine Vice-Admiral, Dalmatian is here! Faced with Armament Haki coated punch, Ross wasnt surprised and he remained calm. As early as Dalmatian roared, his Observation Haki had accurately captured his every action. Ross retrieved the power of distortion that had been poured into the ground beneath his feet and quickly shifted the power of distortions to his arms. His fingers clenched into a fist as the power of distortions converged on them, faintly showing a visible twisted curve and he confronted Dalmatian. Bang! The Armament Haki coated punch and the power of distortion coated punch clashed with each other. Almost instantly, a sonic boom was heard and the turbulent waves swept away in all directions, covering the entire Beth Street area and even affecting the battlefield where Laffitte and Atheus were fighting. In the aftermath, many ordinary Marine soldiers who were too close could hardly keep themselves at their original position but they couldnt open their eyes. It seems that your Vice-Admiral finally reached my Captain. Laffitte grabbed the brim of his hat with one hand to keep it from blowing away and looked at the Rear Admiral Atheus with a light smile. Atheus was covered in blood but none of it belong to him but came from his Marine subordinates. He looked at the huge collision in the distance and slightly narrowed his eyes and coldly said: It looks like it, your Captain will be finished soon and you will also die. Oh, Im afraid thats not necessarily true. Laffitte raised a strange smile on his face and said: Maybe its you who will be finished, Mr. Rear Admiral Atheus did not react at Laffittes words. Instead, he calmly stared at Laffitte and indifferently said, No, youre wrong. You dont know the power of Vice-Admiral Dalmatian at all. If you did, youll never say anything like that. Youll only feel Despair! CHAPTER 74 SHOWDOWN Previous ChapterNext Chapter The aftermath rippled away. The whirlpool stopped and the area around Ross stopped spinning, The entire street was silent. The ground in the entire area is full of bright red color, among which are the bones of Dead Marines. In the middle of the area, Ross is standing there in a punching position and opposite to him stands Marine Vice-Admiral Dalmatian, also in a punching position. The fists of the two men were against each other, trembling constantly, apparently in a struggle. Finally. Ross swayed and stepped back two steps while Dalmatian also stepped back, his arms shaking slightly and he could not see who had the upper hand Dalmatian came angrily and tried his best to interrupt Rosss slaughter but in the end, he could only interrupt Rosss Whirlpool strangulation and he did not gain any advantage, which made him a little surprised. Vice-Admiral Dalmatian! Roma and Hez survived Ross attack and looked between the confrontation between Ross and Dalmatian, Dalmatian stopped Rosss attack and they were relieved and felt as if they were given a new life. Dalmatian stared coldly at Ross, signaling Roma and Hez to step back. Roma and Hez looked at each other and quickly stepped aside to deal with their injuries. Vice-Admiral Ross, who had stepped back two steps looked calmly at the Dalmatian in front of him and glanced at his shoulders which held a High-Level badge representing a Marine Vice-Admiral. Coming from a small area of ??West Blue, It took him nearly two years to face a Vice-Admiral, he relied on his own efforts and worked step by step to reach this stage. Dalmatian looked around and he saw a startling sight. Even though he had chased countless pirates and seen many villages slaughtered by pirates, he could not keep his calm when he saw this scene. It is reasonable that Headquarters will define you as the most ferocious and dangerous pirate, such cruel means I will never let you go to sea again! Dalmatians heart was burning with anger and he coldly stared at Ross. Listening to Dalmatians words, Ross has no fluctuations in his heart. Those who dare to attack him will be regarded as enemies by him and he will not give any kindness to his enemy. It was Marines who brought me to this point, isnt it? Ross looked at Dalmatian calmly. Upon hearing this sentence, Dalmatians face became gloomy. As a Marine Vice-Admiral, he has access to much inside information. When he received orders to deal with Ross, he also received all the information about Ross. In fact, he did not think that Dobermans choice and judgment were wrong but no one could have imagined that an ordinary West Blue Pirate Hunter that killed a Marines branch captain would grow up at unimaginable speed and become a more and more troublesome existence for Marine. Its no use talking more, lets just fight! Dalmatian did not want to think about it anymore. After he spoke calmly to Ross, he stepped down and rushed towards Ross. As a master of body and Haki, Dalmatians speed is very fast, in only a few seconds he rescued Roma and Hez while crossing several streets and simultaneously attacked Ross and made him stop his Whirlpool strangulation. Whiz! Almost in an instant, he closed the distance between him and Ross and punched Ross face. Rosss heart is always calm and in this calm state, Observation Haki can be used to its limit, although Dalmatians speed is much faster than his, but with Observation Haki, he can still react to it. Boom! This is the second confrontation between Ross and Dalmatian. Dalmatian used a full-speed raid, while Ross counter-attacked with frontal confrontation. When their fists collided, Dalmatians Haki failed to reach the limit. Rosss power of distortion was able to mobilize a few points and the match was equally good. However. This time, Ross did not let Dalmatian take the initiative, but at the end of the fight, the power of distortion was completely stimulated and the fists were quickly swept out and directed at Dalmatian. Dalmatian snorted and did not have the slightest fear. Both of arms were coated with Armament Haki Hardening as he faced Ross. Bang! Bang! Bang! In the fight, Ross gradually recovered from the state of an excessive explosion and the power of distortion began to play wantonly. After more than a dozen punches, Dalmatians Armament Haki apparently begin to fell and completely broke by a stiff shook. Dalmatians Haki and strength are better than Onigumo but since he is not a swordsman, his attack power is not much stronger than Onigumo. Compared to it. Rosss current strength is already a lot stronger than when he faced Onigumo. Even as he was attacked by Dalmatian, he responded in a hurry. Even standing still, he can still repel Dalmatian attacks! Dalmatian, who was repealed by Ross, felt a slightly sore feeling in his arm. His face changed. Looking at Ross, he revealed a thoughtful expression. Distortion Fruit, I didnt expect you to develop this fruit to this extent. He had once seen the power of Distortion Fruit before. He had killed a pirate with this Devil Fruit when he was still a Captain. At that time, this devil fruit has caused him some trouble, but it was only trouble and not something he couldnt deal with. Now, over the years, his strength is tens of times stronger than it was before, but when the fruit reappears and falls into Rosss hands, it exerts far more power than the pirate he once met. You seem to have seen the power of this fruit. Ross responded calmly and his heart didnt seem to have any emotions. Devil Fruit will reappear somewhere in the world within a few years after its last user had died, so it is normal for the Distortion Fruit to have previous users. Yes, that guy was a lot weaker than you Its hard to develop such a weak fruit to this level. Dalmatian said indifferently. No. Ross said gently, Youre wrong. Theres no weak fruit. Any Devil Fruit can become strong, it just depends on the person who had eaten the fruit. Naturally, the ability to develop the power of Distortion Fruit to this level is inseparable from his own hard work. Whiz! The moment his voice fell, Ross suddenly charges into Dalmatian and launched a bold counter-attack. Even though Dalmatian is faster than him, with the Observation Haki, he can catch his opponents actions in advance and even if his speed is slower then Dalmatian he can still keep up! Distortion Fist! Ross clenched his fingers and punched. Dalmatian coldly looked at Ross. Even though Rosss punch was more powerful than before, he did not show any fear. You arent the only one who has eaten a Devil Fruit. CHAPTER 75 POWERFUL SUPPRESSION Previous ChapterNext Chapter Buzz!! Almost instantly, a force surged out of Dalmatians body and his skin suddenly changed into a black-and-white speckle. His ears also lengthened downward, hanging on both sides of his cheek and became two long strips of ears. At the same time, his upper body muscles also swelled for a half circle. Zoan Devi Fruit: Model Inu, Dalmatian form! As one of the weaker Zoan dog devil fruits, the ability of this Devil Fruit can bring about a limited increase but ultimately there is a certain improvement, especially for Dalmatian, he has a strong physical body and Haki so this increase is an all-around improvement. Vice-Admiral is using his Even Vice-Admiral cant deal with that guy without using his devil fruit abilities But in the form of a semi-dog, Vice-Admirals strength and speed are not comparable to what they were before. Roma and Hez have handled their injuries simply and are standing nearby, blocking Rosss possible escape route. They cant resist Rosss power, but they dont need to resist for long at all. It will only take a moment for Dalmatian to catch up if Ross tries to run away. In the field. Dalmatian, who has become a semi-dog, has turned his fingers into a half-claw and half-hand form. He clenches his fist and the Armament Haki hardens his whole arm in an instant as he went up against Rosss fist. The two fists suddenly collided in the air. This time, both sides went all out and exerted their strength to the limit. An explosion occurred and the fragmented land in the center of the two men once again cracked. This time. Ross didnt retreat and his body shook slightly, while Dalmatian staggered and took a step backward. Obviously, the full power of the distortion fruit is still higher than his half-dog form. This scene fell into the eyes of Roma and Hez and others and they all a little surprised, They didnt expect Dalmatian to lose in this battle. No wonder that Onigumo was defeated by your hands, You really are skilled. Dalmatian opened his mouth and said in a deep voice and his eyes were fierce. He retreated half a step and At the moment he retreated, he bent his finger and snapped at Ross. Shigan (Finger Gun)! Puff, puff. Two holes appeared in Rosss shirt at the chest area instantly, revealing a pale skin inside, but the Shigan (Finger Gun) which is more powerful than bullet was annihilated by the power of distortion when it touched Rosss body. Distortionflash! Ross ignored Dalmatians Shigan (Finger Gun) and swiftly shifted his fist and swung out. From his finger appeared a ray of light which instantly made Dalmatian close his eyes. Whiz! Ross rushed in close to Dalmatian and punched him. As a master of physical and Haki, Dalmatian naturally has the Observation Haki, but this sudden flash caught him off guard and he couldnt avoid Rosss punch. He can only rush to put his fists on his chest and cast Armament Haki on them. Boom! Under Rosss punch, Dalmatian flies backward and even under Armament Haki his arms stiffened and had soreness in them. Damn! He cursed as he could not open his eyes. He could only sense Rosss actions and respond to them by utilizing Observation Haki. Ross rushed up against Dalmatian and continued to punch him. Undoubtedly, the power of distortions used with his fists is the most effective way to deal with the strong opponent who had a strong body and Haki and the other means are more suitable for creating opportunities. Bang! Bang! Bang! Dalmatian and Ross fought several times in succession and his arms became numb. He knew that it was not going well and jumped up by using Geppo. However, Ross snorted and also used Geppo and rushed up in the air and chased after him and continued to punch Dalmatian. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick)! Ross is stronger than Dalmatian expected. Although his eyes have recovered, he still has some headaches in the face of Rosss air pursuit. He decisively used Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) and kicked towards Rosss head, but Ross stopped his attack and turned it into a ball which he threw back at Dalmatian. Boom! Dalmatian swings his fist and smashes the ball shape energy thrown by Ross, but he also falls into a passive position. As Ross continues to chase him, he gets a straight punch on his shoulder. Even though he used Armament Haki hardening on his shoulders to resist the punch, Rosss tyrannical power of distortion still invaded the inside of his shoulder, leaving his arm completely numb and immovable. Whiz! Dalmatian didnt think about it and immediately landed on the ground. Ross would use Geppo to fight him in the air. It was obviously a foolish choice because he needed to use his power to swing his fist and his power has already halved. Rosss Devil Fruit ability can ignore everything. Whether its Haki or just simple strength, it can break them all and the strength of his punch is similar on the ground as well as in the air. Whiz! Seeing that Dalmatian fell, Ross did not hesitate to follow him and both of them landed on the ground at the same time and at the moment of landing Ross raised his foot and the ground under Dalmatians feet suddenly collapsed in Distortion. Power of distortion can be transmitted directly through the earth and as the distance increase, the power of distortion weakens so it will not have any effect on Dalmatian who has a strong physical body but it is suitable for catching enemies by surprise. Dalmatian was caught off guard by a sudden drop in the soles of his feet. Ross stepped forward and rushed up. Dalmatian could not avoid him and was forced to defend himself with his better arm. Bang! Ross dropped a punch and Dalmatian flew backward again. His one arm was heavily numb and the other arm was slightly better, but it was too hard to clench his fist. Rosss ability to use light was something that his Observation Haki had failed to warn him off, so after Ross caught him off-guard, he decisively seized the opportunity and forced him into retreat. After being attacked again, Dalmatian had some difficulties in dealing with Rosss offensive. He could only escape halfway and try to recover his arm strength by avoiding him. Ross could not give him a chance to recover and pursued him. This How could this be, He caused the Vice-Admiral to retreat. Many Marines watched as Ross caused a Vice Admiral to retreat which was unbelievable for them. Dalmatian is undoubtedly the strongest person in the G8 branch, even if the other Rear Admiral joined forces to attack him, they would not be Dalmatians opponent. But now in the whole Battle from the beginning to the present, Dalmatian did not seem to have the upper hand and he has always been suppressed by Ross! What Even the Vice-Admiral cant resist him. If it went on like thisthen Im afraid that the situation will be dangerous. CHAPTER 76 MORGAN’S SHOCK Previous ChapterNext Chapter Seeing that Dalmatian is having some difficulties facing Rosss fierce offense, Roma and Hez looked at each other and charged into the Battlefield as fear gripped their hearts. With the addition of Roma and Hez, Dalmatian who was about to lose finally got a breathing opportunity, but it was only a slight one. If Dalmatian, Roma, and Hez were not injured, they would be able to cope with Ross at their peak power. But now Roma and Hez are half-disabled and Dalmatian is also in a difficult position because of the special effect of the power of distortion. Even if they work together against Ross, it will be difficult to reverse the situation. Bang! Bang! Bang! Even though Ross is facing three enemies, his eyes are indifferent and there are no signs of retreat. His attacks are getting more and more fierce. Especially the injured Roma and Hez cant stop Ross power, if Rosss attack grazes them they will end up puking blood. During this period, Marine Captains tried to rush in to support them, but even Roma and Hez were barely able to participate. The Marine Captains simply did not qualify to join in on such battle and in a flash, they fell on the spot. For Ross with the power of distortion, once he gains the upper hand, the opponent has almost no chance of counterattack. He will only fall into the wicked cycle where his arms get gradually destroyed by the power of distortion, which makes it increasingly difficult to exert force. This Watching Ross take on three enemies, relying on his own strength to completely suppress Roma, Hez, and Dalmatian, all the Marines are scared and their eyes revealed an incredible look in them. Ghost Hand Ross is too strong! The two Rear Admiral of the G8 branch base together with Vice-Admiral Dalmatian are in a losing position and they cant seem to turn the situation around! At this time, the remaining Marines can only look at them. They are not qualified to intervene in such Battle. Finally. After beating Dalmatian back with one punch, Ross grabbed Romas split sword with his hand and shook the sword for some time as the power of distortion spread all over Romas Body and he died a horrible death. Then, under Hezs horrified eyes, Ross stepped in front of him and kicked him in the chest, sending him directly to the building behind him, but he died before hitting the building. Two Rear Admiral are instantly killed! Dalmatian was stunned, but it was too late for him to provide support. He tried to take this opportunity to attack Ross from behind and kill Ross with his punch, but after kicking Hez Ross punched him back. Bang! Dalmatian could no longer resist the collision between their two fists. Armament Haki on his fist was crushed by Rosss power of distortion and the bones in his arm broke completely. Dalmatian endured the severe pain in his arm and tried to fight back with his other arm as he punched toward Ross, but Ross didnt give him a chance, With a backhand punch, Dalmatians other punch was smashed and his bones completely disintegrated. Marine Vice-Admirals head, I accepted it. Ross calmly said as his fingers held a knife and he swung it horizontally, without any blood splashing, a head flew into the sky, his face was still shocked. Dalmatian predicted that Ross would be difficult to deal with. After all, even Onigumo lost to Ross, but he had no idea that even though he brought three Rear Admirals with him to the siege and suppression, he still ended up with such a tragic defeat! The audience was silent. Dong! This is the sound of a flying head that fell on the ground. In the silence, a sea breeze blew. Ding Dong. This is the sound of Marines swords falling to the ground. The first sound, then the sound sounded one after another, No one knows how many weapons fell off the hands but the sound continues to echo in the quiet street. This is really big news. On the street 100 meters away, on the window of the top floor of a hotel, the cup in the hands of Morgan fell silently to the ground and turned into countless pieces. A frontal defeat of an entire Marine branch elite troops, killing a Marines Vice-Admiral and two Rear Admiral alone, such strength may not be much in The Grand Line but Ross is only a newcomer to the Grand Line! Looking at Ross, Morgan faintly felt that he had just seen the rise of the most dazzling Supernova of this era and he even hoped that this person will be able to shake the New World Yonk (Four Emperors) in the future! Its time to collect information and prepare a news report. West side of the Beth Street area. Laffittes figure jumped up on the top of a two-story building. There was a trace of blood on his mouth, but like always there was a strange smile on his face, which was white enough to make millions of beautiful women feel ashamed of themselves. It made anyone who saw him feel horrified. On the street, Atheus was barely standing with his sword. His condition was much more miserable than Laffittes. There were scars all over his body and his clothes were already dyed red. Other than that. The streets were full of Marines bodies, some of them died by Laffittes hand, but most of them were killed by Atheus, apparently, the soldiers were under Laffitte hypnosis. If Atheus had not been very similar to Onigumo, Doberman, and others, he would have already collapsed in this Battle. Whoop, killing your men, thats a terrible Rear Admiral. Instead of wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, Laffitte smiled weirdly and stared down at Atheus and whirled his red cane with ease. Atheus looked up at Laffitte, his eyes were cold and indifferent as he said, They died in order to not let you continue to endanger the sea. Whiz! The moment his voice fell, Atheus jumped onto the roof and a sword fell on Laffitte, who had been prepared to dodge the attack. Nothing more had happened, the Battle over there seems to be over. After avoiding Atheuss sword, Laffitte did not fight back but turned to look at the center of Beth Street, where Ross and Dalmatian and others were fighting and the violent noise that has not stopped from the beginning stopped. Atheus did not turn around to look, but he also noticed that there was no movement there, he stared at Laffitte and said indifferently, It seems that your Captain has died. You are a little stronger than I expected, but you cant escape. It seems that you have a lot of confidence in your chief, but just like you, I am also very confident about my Captain. Laffitte laughs. CHAPTER 77 REGRETTED? Previous ChapterNext Chapter Atheus was actually worried about Dalmatians ability to defeat Ghost Hand Ross, but Roma and Hez had not come to support him so far, which clearly showed that besides Dalmatian, there were Roma and Hez on the battlefield. Ghost Hand Ross is not a big pirate with a Bounty of 200 million berries. His Vice-Admiral is stronger than him and the two Rear Admirals are somewhat weak but this lineup is enough to deal with Ross. The only problem is his side. Although Laffitte was not much better than him in the frontal battle, the other side used strange methods to make him consume his stamina faster and he also suffered a lot of injuries. Now he was only fighting him to delay him and not to win. But the Battle over there is over and if he drags his fight a little longer then help will arrive and he is sure that he will be able to cope for a short time. With that in mind, he stared at Laffitte and continued to attack. But. Almost at this moment, a voice was heard. You are not finished yet, Laffitte. I am very sorry Captain, but I am almost finished. Laffitte turned his head and apologized in the direction of the sound. Atheuss expression solidified. His head was a little stiff when he twisted it and when he saw Ross, his heart could no longer remain calm and his eyes showed an incredible look. How can it be! How did Ghost Hand Ross appear here? Arent Vice-Admiral Dalmatian, Roma and Hez joining forces in the siege?How could he come here?! He had a terrible idea in his mind, but he could not believe it at all. But Ross was standing behind him and Dalmatian and Roma did not appear and did not catch up. I say, you seem to be distracted. Laffittes voice interrupted his thoughts, He did not know when Laffitte appeared next to him, holding the mahogany cane and stabbing his heart. Atheus tried to dodge in panic, but it was too late. Although he avoided the heart, he was still penetrated by Laffittes mahogany cane. Atheus suddenly understood why the Headquarters was so serious when it issued the order and even said that they could postpone the attack and unite the forces of the two branches for encirclement and suppression. At that time, Dalmatian and their group of Rear Admiral thought that it was unnecessary. Now it seems that they have miscalculated and underestimated the strength of the Ghost Hand Pirates. Although there are not many Ghost Hand Pirates and only three official crew members, their strength cannot be measured by the number of crew members alone. Goodbye. Laffitte pulled out his cane and sent it forward again. The cane passed through Atheuss heart precisely. When it was pulled out again, Atheuss body slowly fell to the ground. Watching the last Marine Rear Admiral fall to the ground, Ross looks thoughtful and thought that he may be able to put Observation Hakis notes into practice again and give them to Robin and Laffitte. Marine Headquarters. In an office near the top floor, three Headquarters Vice-Admiral were sitting on chairs and sofas, one of whom was Doberman and the other two were Momonga and Yamakaji. Dalmatian people have already found the Ghost Hand Pirates and they should have handled it in by now Is it unstable to have the G8 branch base solely responsible for the Ghost Hand Pirates? Yamakaji sat there and asked Doberman on the other side. Doberman hasnt answered yet. Momonga, who has been keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes and said: Dalmatians strength is not far from us. This time he mobilized three Rear Admirals in the base. It is the most prudent response. Doberman murmured, It takes at least a month for the other branch bases nearby to reach the sea under the responsibility of the G8 branch. If we wait, the possibility of accidents will be even greater. Now we can only place our hopes in the G8 branch. I hope Dalmatian will not let us down. Doberman didnt mind going out in person to deal with Ross unless the journey was too far away, but it would probably take at least two months for him to lead the army to find Ross from Headquarters. Therefore, it is the best choice to send out emergency troops from the G8 Branch. Waiting. The Den Den Mushi on the desk rang and the three Headquarters Vice-Admiral in the room suddenly became serious. Doberman walked to the desk and picked up the microphone to answer it. I am Headquarters Vice-Admiral Doberman. Dang Dang! This is the sound of the microphone falling on the red oak table and colliding with the table, which echoes in the quiet office. Momonga and Yamakaji were started. What happened? Dobermans fingers slightly trembled and he did not know whether it was from anger or from shock. The expression on his face was hard to describe in words and he fell back a step. When Momonga and Yamakaji saw this, they couldnt guess what had happened. Momonga stood up and took over the microphone that had fallen off the table. At the same time, Yamakaji came to Doberman. Is it the annihilation of the Ghost Hand Pirates? Did the siege fail? Doberman seemed to use all his strength to suppress the feelings in his heart and went to the sofa next to him. He was in an extremely unstable state. The encirclement and suppression failed, Dalmatian and three Rear Admirals all died in battle. When he uttered the information he had just heard in a very depressed tone, he suddenly felt an irrepressible emotion in his heart. Why? Why did things go so far? It was just a small person, but again and again, that small person has defied all odds and became someone who is out of their control, now they cant seem to do anything to him. Captain Moby told him that the situation was under control, Rear Admiral Bastille told him that Ghost Hand Ross would soon be sent to the Judicial Island(Enies Lobby) for trial, Onigumo told him that he would be back soon, Dalmatian told him that he would not give Ghosts Hand Pirates any chance Inexplicable. He thought of what Ross had said from West Blue. Although right now I am just an insignificant nobody and about whom maybe you wouldnt care even a bit, but please remember what I say. Your behavior today determines the future direction of this sea. I hope that one day in the future, you would not regret the order issued today because by then everything will be too late. The sentence that was relayed by the divisions Lieutenant Commander echoed in his ear, making him see Ross standing in front of him, stating it in a calm voice with a calm face. Regret? Doberman was in a trance for a moment, but he was a Headquarters Vice-Admiral after all. The next moment he recovered and his eyes became clear again. Yes, there are some regrets, regrets that he did not pay attention to it earlier, he did not send Onigumo to West Blue earlier, he did not destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates in the sea earlier. Doberman we need to initiate a conference. When Momonga heard the report from the Den Den Mushi on the other side, he hung up the Den Mushi and was silent for a moment. He turned to Doberman, took a deep breath and said with a serious expression. Doberman and Momongga looked at each other and finally nodded and Yamakaji sighed and nodded: I will report it. Usually. Only at Shichibukais pirate level can Headquarters be eligible to hold separate meetings for them. But now the situation is that the G8 branch base is almost completely extinct. The reconstruction and reassignment of the G8 branch base alone involve too many problems, not to mention the follow-up treatment of the Ghost Hand Pirates. CHAPTER 78 PROMOTING STRENGTH The Kingdom of Elias. The remaining Marines of the G8 branch base, under the direct command of the Headquarters, took their Battleship and evacuated the Kingdom of Elias. Ross, Laffitte, and others continued to stay on the island, waiting for Log Pose to record the magnetism, while Ross wrote down his understanding of Observation Haki in accordance with his own practice route. I dont know if you understand the power of Haki. I have compiled my perceptive information on Observation Haki. You can have a look. In a living room, Ross handed Laffitte and Robin the sorted information, which contained four pages and it was much more detail than the one he had originally obtained. Armament Haki cannot be practiced by them right now but the threshold for practicing Observation Haki is low, Some people even have a natural sense of seeing and hearing and Robin and Laffittes fighting style is more suited for the Observation Haki. Haki? Ive read about it in the literature. Its said that there are three kinds. Robin received the sensational information from Ross. OHaras is the birthplace of all knowledge in the world. She has read about Haki, but it is something similar to popular science books. After Robin looked at it, she quickly wrote down the contents with her perfect memory. When she had learned everything in it, she handed the information to Laffitte. After Laffitte took it, he looked at it and suddenly shrugged his shoulders: According to this information, I seem to already have this ability and forget when it will be used, huh, huh. Although I havent understood your abilities, I wouldnt be surprised if you could already use it. Ross nodded and he was not surprised. As a crew member of the Black-Beard Pirates in the original series, how could he not have some talent? He had noticed several times that Laffitte might be able to use it, but he never asked. Laffitte didnt lose the information, he laughed and then continued to look at it. He remembered it carefully. He carefully remembered that although he could use the sense of seeing and smelling, he could only use the power instinctively. There were also many flaws in the manipulation, just like Ross who had just awakened his Haki and had not yet mastered the sense of seeing and smelling thoroughly. While Laffitte and Robin pondered over the Observation Hakis data, Ross sorted out the harvest from the defeat of the G8 branch base. Dalmatian and two Rear Admiral were killed and his arm was bruised by the other partys Armament Haki. Fortunately, it didnt hurt his bones and muscles. He had been asking Robin to help apply the medicine for two days and he had almost recovered. I Better recruit a ship doctor soon. Rosss eyes flashed and then he called up the Talent System page. The Marines of the G8 branch base was defeated. Although three Rear Admiral and one Vice-Admiral were defeated, the reward for defeating Marines is different from that of hunting pirate. Not all of them are superimposed, but only the highest chief of the team is counted. Ross got 100 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Point. Looking back at his fight with the Vice Admiral, Ross did not hesitate and put 10 Talent Proficiency points on the Distortion Fruit. Buzz!! A golden glow flashed as the Proficiency of the Distortion Fruit reached 300 points. At the same time, the Gravity Distortion branch became greens activatable state and the activation conditions were also displayed, requiring 3 Free Talent Points. Sure enough, it requires more than one point but 3 Talent points are too much. Ross rubbed his eyebrows. He now has 2 Free Talent Points. He cant activate the ability of Gravity Distortion. Besides, Gravity Distortion needs 3 points and the Space Distortion will require even more. In the future, Free Talent Points really needs to be saved. After hesitating, Ross did not continue to add points to the Distortion Fruit. Instead, he switched the Interface to the General Department. After looking at the remaining 90 Talent Proficiency Points, he assigned 25 points to the Physical Enhancement and 50 points to the Agility Enhancement. The talent page of the General Department has changed. Agility Enhancement: 150 (High LevelStrengthening) Physical Enhancement: 260 (Top LevelStrengthening) In his previous battle with Dalmatian, Rosss speed was not as good as the other side. He relied solely upon the unexpected opportunities created by Distortion Fruit to carry out the fight. If Dalmatian had the advantage of speed, it would not be easy for him to win. In fact. The battle seemed to be a crushing victory because Marines made many mistakes in decision-making. One of them was that Marine miscalculated Laffittes power. Otherwise with three Rear Admiral teaming up with Dalmatian would have caused Ross to escape a head-on battle. The second is that two Rear Admirals were too stretched trying to confront Ross in a frontal assault and they were badly injured by Ross, each of whom had discarded an arm, greatly reducing their strength. Thirdly, Dalmatians fought poorly as he was influenced by Rosss fierce tactics and words. If Dalmatian had used all advantages then he would have won. No matter which one of these three problems were handled well, it will not be a complete defeat and they wouldnt get completely destroyed by Ross. This time, Marines encirclement was indeed cautious enough and there were many troops. However, their strategy was too poor. The choice of separate encirclement and suppression led to the destruction of the regiment. Naturally. Now with 50 points in Agility Enhancement and 25 points in Physical Enhancement and 10 points in Distortion Fruit, Ross has improved a lot compared to his previous strength. Even if Dalmatian and the two Rear Admirals come at him with their full strength they will not gain the upper hand. For the remaining 15 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross thought a little and did not put them into Physical Enhancement or in Distortion Fruit, but switched back to the Battle interface and put them in Observation Haki. His Observation Haki was somewhat slow in capturing the action of Dalmatian. If he encounters a person who is faster and more physically better than Dalmatian, he is likely to fall into a disadvantage, so he must improve this talent. Ross does not pursue speed advantage, but he can not be at a disadvantage, otherwise, the impact on Battle will be too big. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 300 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki: 15 Armament Haki: 0 If my physical ability can keep up, it will be fine to put 100 points on the Distortion Fruit at once. Ross perceives the changes in the body and muttered. However. After the power of distortion reached 300 points, it was apparent that it crossed a certain limit and Rosss power impact range soared to about 100 meters. Because of this, he had to put 25 Talent Proficiency Points into Physical Enhancement to adapt to the skyrocketing power of distortion. I dont know how strong I am today, compared to a Headquarters Vice-Admiral. Rosss eyes showed a hint of thought. Headquarters Vice-Admirals are strong and there is a huge strength gap between them. For example, Doberman and other Vice-Admiral, who are only recently promoted are obviously weaker than Tokikake, Momousagi, or Garp whose strength is close to an Admiral. Vice-Admirals position is the pinnacle of many Marines life. Some people were promoted to a Headquarters Vice-Admiral twenty or thirty years ago, but they have stayed in this position for 20 or 30 years. Their strength may be slightly improved but it is far less than Admirals standard. Ross pondered for a while because he had not fought with any Headquarters Vice-Admiral. It was still difficult to judge how strong he was, but the only thing he was certain of was that he is still a long way from a Marine Admiral. Any Marine Admiral can easily destroy an Island. What is the scope of an island? The average island has a diameter of 10 kilometers. Aokiji can freeze the sea in Ice Age without knowing how much area it would cover. Compared to it. The Power of distortion only works within a hundred meters. That is to say, once a Marine Admiral spotted him and found his exact position, his strength today does not qualify for any resistance at all. Journey to the next island begins Its time to find new prey. Ross took a deep breath and his eyes flashed. It was difficult to find a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million berries in West Blue, But in the first half of Grand Line, with three arrows log Pose, there were still many opportunities to find it. CHAPTER 79 IMPORTANT MATTERS Previous ChapterNext Chapter Marine Headquarters. This is a high-level conference room. Only the Marine generals above Vice-Admiral are eligible to speak. As for the Rear Admiral officers, although they are eligible to come in, they are only qualified to listen. The room was quiet, without any noise. In silence, only Marine Fleet Admiral Sengokus voice slowly heard in the hall. Therefore, the re-establishment of the G8 branch base will be decided according to the above methods. In Addition Sengoku pulled out another document, which was about the Ghost Hand Pirates. He pressed the file on one hand and turned to look at Doberman. He said: Who can tell me what is going on with this Ghost Hand Pirates? Sengoku took over the position of Fleet Admiral recently and he had only recently adapted to the work of a Marine Fleet Admiral. Unexpectedly, at this time, such a huge matter happened on the sea. Doberman stood up and bowed his head deep at Sengoku. I am willing to take responsibility for the improper handling by my subordinates. Sit down. Sengoku looked at Dobermans eyes and glanced over the many Vice-Admirals in the field. It is necessary to maintain Marines face and prestige. If Marine loses their prestige then the wicked forces on the sea will become more rampant. As for Ross, after knowing the causes and consequences, Sengoku was angry and speechless. A small hole in the wall was failed to be filled three or five times. And now, That small hole has caused the entire wall to collapse. It is impossible to revoke Rosss suspended bounty. Even if he reports it to the government, the government wont agree to it and they will order his annihilation. Once Marine loses their prestige, the consequences will be very serious and it may even affect the entire sea. Therefore, in Sengokus view, it is necessary to sacrifice Ross for worldwide justice. Although this is somewhat unfair to Ross. Naturally. Since Ross killed a Marine Captain of West Blue, the so-called injustice has ceased to exist. Whatever the cause, the cruel killing of a Marine is an unforgivable crime. Sengoku also heard about Onigumo accident when it happened. After all, it was the defeat of a Headquarters Rear Admiral, but he didnt take it seriously. He just ordered Akainu to take full responsibility for it. As a Marine Admiral, Akainu cant even look at a pirate of West Blue or even make a special trip to the sea, so its still up to Doberman to approve the dispatch requests and provide their documents. The order to mobilize the G8 branch to encircle and suppress Ross was also issued by Akainu. But. Neither Vice-AdmiralDoberman nor Akainu expected the G8 base to suffer a tragic defeat. A Vice-Admiral, along with three Rear Admirals were killed in battle. When Sengoku finished his sentence, Akainu sat there with an ugly expression on his face. The problem is that we cant make minor mistakes into big ones. If there are mistakes, we must fill them up quickly Ghost Hand Ross acts unrestrained and he is cruel. In order to maintain Marines prestige, he must be exterminated as soon as possible. Sengoku said this. After looking at Akainu, his eyes turned to Aokiji, and he murmured, Its up to Aokiji to fully handle this situation. Originally Akainu was responsible for the incident, then this matter is transferred to Aokiji by Sengoku. Many Vice-Admirals present were naturally aware of the significance. Although Sengoku did not blame Akainu and Doberman, this is no different from the criticism and accusation. Akainu sat there without saying a word. Doberman kept his head down and was afraid to look at Akainus expression. On the other hand, Aokiji, who heard Sengokus order, nodded. It was rare to see him being serious at any meeting. On one hand, Ross was indeed extremely wicked. On the other hand, Nico Robin was on Rosss ship. The handling of the matter was dealt with. Although Akainu was not blamed, he was removed from this matter and it was handed to Aokiji. Sengoku looks at the people present and then prepares to adjourn the meeting. But. Almost as his voice was about to be uttered, there was a sudden knock at the door. Then he saw a Rear Admiral rushing in with a newspaper in his hand. He said in some panic: Something went wrong! He sent the newspaper to Sengoku and Sengoku only glanced at it. He suddenly felt a buzz in his head and he looked carefully. His fist was already tight without him knowing. He saw that in the newspaper, an entire page was dedicated to The Ghosts Hand Pirates and Ghost Hand Ross. The most important issue is the content of the report! <> The title alone carries a tinge of irony. The elite troops of the Marine G8 branch lead by the Vice-Admiral Dalmatian and the branch Rear Admirals Roma, Hez and Atheus were defeated by The Ghost Hand Pirates. According to some true information, The Ghost Hand Pirates have also previously defeated Marines encirclement and suppression and slaughter Marines. It is a miracle for any Marines to survive him. But Why is that? Why is he killing Marines? For this, we have to go back a year What happened in West Blue at the beginning was unveiled, occupying almost most of the space on the page with a strong sense of irony in its tone. Seeing this, Sengoku could not hold back. Bastard! Vains were popping on his forehead and his fist was pinched. He wanted to kill the person who wrote this news report with one blow. At the same time, newspapers were sent to the conference room one after another and a copy was placed on everyones desk. Everyone picked up the newspaper and read it. Thats how a Pirate Hunter finally became a pirate under Marines guidance. According to reliable intelligence from West Blue and from the Grand Line, the Ghost Hand Pirates has never looted any town and they never slaughtered any civilians! All those who fell by their hands were either Pirates or were Marines. Well, this budding man No, how far can Supernova, who has risen strongly, go against Marine?lets wait and see. Bang! Sengoku finally couldnt hold back. He punched the conference table with one hand, creating a spider-web-like crack on it and nearly tore the newspaper apart with his other hand. Damn! Whats going on in this report, what happened to this newspaper? What is the government doing, how can this be distributed to the sea?! The meeting room was silent. The expression on everyones face became ugly and Sengokus roar made them all shudder. As for the Rear Admirals, they were already sweating. Something happened. Something terrible has happened! CHAPTER 80 HIS NAME RISES IN THE SEA Previous ChapterNext Chapter Written by Morgan, one of the emperors of the Dark World and fueled by numerous forces, including revolutionaries, a large number of newspapers were spread all over the world. Even though the Marine and the government responded quickly and collected and destroyed the newspaper in an all-around way, it still caused a huge wave all over the world. Even if only a few people saw the newspaper,in the case of word-of-mouth transmission, it spread all over the world. For a time, the name of the Ghost-Hand Pirates has earned the focus of the world. The government made every effort to cover up and published newspapers in succession, stating that the story about Ghost Hand Ross was tactics of some wicked forces had secretly discredited Marine, but it was still difficult to completely eliminate the impact. World Government and Marine Headquarters were all overwhelmed. Marine. The anger of the government poured down and Doberman was almost dismissed directly. Sengoku and Akainu came forward to retain Dobermans Vice-Admiral position, but still removed most of his power. This unexpected newspaper pushed Ross to the top of the storm! Fufurfurfur, hunting pirate? Confronting Marine? Its a crazy fellow, but Im afraid thats the end of it as he had completely angered the government and Marine.. On the deck of the Donquixote Family Pirate Ship, Doflamingo lay on a lounge chair and looked at the newspaper in his hand, laughing strangely. Just entering Grand Line and he is pushed to the top of the wind and waves. It will be hard for him to survive, but if he can survive Somewhere on the sea, Hawkeye looked at the newspaper in his hand and took a sip of red wine. East Blue, Foosha village. Boss, read this newspaper. The news on it is very interesting. Lucky Roo, who held a piece of meat in one hand and a newspaper in his other hand, came to Shanks and handed it over. Shanks smiled and took it. After looking at it, he was surprised and said, This kind of newsthe government and Marine must be busy. Beckman sat next to Shanks, with a newspaper in his hand and a cigar in his mouth and a slight discoloration in his eyes. This kind of newspaper cant appear in the sea. The author is really bold. Im afraid there is a force like the Revolutionary Army behind the scenes. Ghost Hand Pirates, Ghost Hand Ross This name is also somewhat familiar. Looking at the pirate flag in the newspaper, Beckman quickly remembered the encounter in West Blue, It was the same pirate flag pattern. Its not an ordinary fellow, but the government should have labeled him as a must-kill person. Marines and the government will only be able to solve this problem and free up their hands by killing him. Theres still a long way to go for him to see us in the New World. Beckman dropped the newspaper and glanced at the Shanks next to him. He shook his head and laughed, feeling that this kind of thing was still too illusory. For the chaos caused by the Ghost Hand Pirates, the worlds major forces have all cast their eyes, some gloating, some ridicule the government and Marine and some have noticed Ghost Hand Ross. However, most people hold a negative attitude towards the development of the Ghost Hand Pirates, because the government and Marine are undoubtedly thoroughly enraged by them. How terrible will the government and Marine, who are outraged, be? Nobody knows. Because the people who know it have long been hidden in the dust of history. On the shore of Elias Kingdom. Ross has returned to the Ghost Shadow Ship, Laffitte continues to stay on the island and waits for the magnetic storage to be full, while Robin re-enters the island after Ross returns and enters the underground world of Elias to collect more intelligence. The intelligence of the Grand, especially for the pirates who have a bounty of over 100 million berries. Ross was sitting on the sofa in a wide lounge on the Ghost Shadow Ship, his eyes were closed when a knock came at the door and Ross opened them. Come in. Robin, wearing a lavender-colored jacket and shorts, came in through the door. Her figure was almost the same as that in the original series, but she looked younger. Ross sat up straight and smiled at Robin, saying: Coming back so soon, I thought that you would be slower than Laffittes. After the Marines were defeated by you, the dark forces of the Elias Kingdom became afraid of us and it became much easier to collect all the information. Robin walked over to Ross and said: In the first half of Grand Line, counting Captain, there are seven pirates with over 100 million bounties on their head. I have collected Information about some of them Counting me? Ross captured the extra content of Robins words. Robin tilted her head and gently smiled. She placed two bounty orders on the coffee table in front of Ross. One of them was Rosss bounty order, which had a bounty of 200 million Berries on it. In addition, another is Laffittes bounty order, which amounts to 80 million Berries. My bounty hasnt changed much, but with Captain and navigator, our overall bounty has reached 359 million Berries. If you improve your strength and fight some famous opponents, your bounty will increase too. However, as an intelligence member, you can try to not participate in Battles. Ross took the bounty poster and looked at it and Robin smiled faintly, the more hidden the intelligence members are, the less they are concerned and they are safer that way. And Ross didnt say that to protect the only eye-catching girl on board. Robin nodded slightly and put a few bits of information on the table, along with a bunch of bounty posters. This is the first half of the Grand Line, except Ross, there are six pirates who had bounties over 100 million berries. Naturally. Some of these data are detailed while others are missing a lot. Two Pirates have no specific location in intelligence. In the other four Pirates, only two have confirmed location. Ross picked up the data and examined it carefully. He put aside the four missing and inaccurate locations of Intelligence and continued to look at the remaining two. Bounty of 230 million Berries, Blood Wolf Pirate Captain, Blood Wolf Rennes, appeared in Water Seven half a month ago This distance is a little too far. Ross shook his head when he saw it. He had just arrived at the second island on the Grand Line and Water Seven was close to the Sabaody Archipelago. Putting this information aside, Ross looks at the last piece of information. Bounty of 180 million Berries, Iron Wall Pirates appeared at the port of Elfa seven days ago, the port of Elfa Rosss eyes glimmered with thought, and if he remembered correctly, the place should be on their route and not very far from the Elias Kingdom. Although the Log Pose on Grand Line is a fixed channel, if there is an Eternal Pose pointing to other islands, one can easily change their route or retrograde. Ross also collected an Eternal Pose pointing to the Kingdom of Elias, one can never have too many Eternal Poses. Among the information collected by Robin, even the Captain of the Iron Wall Pirates, Iron Wall Ravarro have some special abilities, He has eaten a Paramecia Devil Fruit Barrier-Barrier Fruit. If he remembers it correctly then this Devil Fruit will belong to a newcomer after ten years, that is to say, even if he does not kill Ravarro, he will not survive for long. Captain. Compared to the information of other Pirates, I think you need to look at this newspaper. Just as Ross confirmed that the Iron Wall Pirates will be his next target, Robin suddenly interrupted his thoughts and put a newspaper in front of him. Huh? Ross took a look at the newspaper and his eyes changed dramatically. This its really something that I didnt expect. This newspaper will push us in an unpredictable direction. Robins tone was a little heavy. The government and Marines will be totally enraged and once they suppress this matter, we will be treated with a bloody pursuit. Ross stared at the newspaper for a moment, put it aside, and suddenly gave a light laugh. But isnt it pleasant? Such news has been distributed to the sea, The Marine and the government are probably in a mess now. Although the report will lead the situation into an uncontrollable direction, there is no doubt that it is as refreshing as the appearance of a public toilet in front of you when you have an upset stomach. Captain Robins eyes flashed a trace of anxiety and she sighed softly in her heart. It was pleasant that the truth was revealed, but the situation that followed might become extremely difficult for us. The situation of originally defeating the G8 base to had a firm foothold on Grand Line would be completely destroyed. Marine and the government are bound to do something next and once they strike, they are bound to wipe out The Ghost Hand Pirates completely. CHAPTER 81 DEVIL FRUITS AND HAKI Previous ChapterNext Chapter Two days later. Log Poses magnetic force was finally full and Laffitte returned to the ship. One of the directions pointed by the single arrow Log Pose is same as one of the directions pointed by the three arrows Log Pose, which is undoubtedly good news for Ross, The previous robbery was not in vain, and the future routes will become flexible. Lets first go to Elfa Port. Ross gave his instructions to Laffitte. Its very difficult to lock a pirate in West Blue, but on the Grand Line, every pirate needs to stay on the island to record and store the magnetic force and their route is limited to a large part. With the speed of Ghost Shadow Ship, its much easier to catch up with a Pirate Ship. Okay, Captain. Laffitte responded by putting the old single arrow Log Pose in his pocket and looking at the three arrows Log Pose and sea map to navigate the Ghost Shadow Ship. Seven days later, Ghost Shadow Ship arrived at the next island. It took only two days to store the magnetic force and then they set sail again. It took them five days to reach another island. Ghost Shadow Ships speed advantage combined with Laffitte, a navigator, was fully utilized. It took only 20 days to cross three islands and arrive at Port Elfa. Ghost Shadow Ship practice room. Bang! Bang! Bang! Continuous Bang sound was heard, Rosss hands are clenched into fists, as if wearing thin black gloves, punching one punch after another on a piece of square steel, dents continuously appeared on the steel. In his fight with Dalmatian, although he did not use Armament Haki, he was always observing Dalmatians Armament Haki until the end of Battle. Fights have always been the most effective way to develop human potential in this world. After only a few days with Dalmatians Battle, Ross completely mastered Armament Haki hardening. Distortion fist! In the constant swing of his fist, Rosss eyes suddenly flashed and his heart raced, He suddenly stimulated the power of distortion, pouring it into his fist and gave a fierce blow. Bang! Under Rosss fist, the front of the square steel showed a spiral Distortion crack. If Ross had not withdrawn his ability quickly, the whole steel might have broken up. Looking at the square steel, Rosss brow slightly wrinkled. He looked down at his fist and saw that the Armament Haki attached to his fist had collapsed. Cant Haki be perfectly integrated with fruit power After mastering Armament Haki hardening, Rosss next practice direction is to combine Armament Haki with his Devil Fruit power. Devil Fruits ability and Armament Haki are not two conflicting abilities, they can be perfectly integrated with each other through control. Doflamingos line, Luffys rubber, which can be directly attached to Armament Haki, Whitebears Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) can hit Akainu with one blow, apparently with Armament Haki in it. Otherwise. Logia user can use elementalization to filter out the damage from the shock and only accepts the ordinary punch of Armament Haki, which is not serious enough to vomit blood on the ground. However, Devil Fruit such as Distortion and Earthquake is obviously different from the solid Paramecia such as wire and rubber. The two Devil Fruit abilities of wire and rubber can be almost perfectly superimposed with Armament Haki and have strong attack power. Distortion and Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) are already very aggressive and both of these abilities belong to non-physical abilities, so Armament Haki is only used as an auxiliary effect and is mixed into the ability. The first two can be called a combination, while the latter two are additional. Its almost impossible for Logia and Paramecia to avoid Armament Haki attacks. if the power of distortion can be attached to the characteristics of Armament Haki, then it will be something different. Because of this, the combination of earthquake and Haki or Distortion and Haki is obviously much more difficult than wire or rubber Haki combination. Ross has been trying for more than ten days, but he can not attach Armament Haki to his Distortion Fruit capability. Even to that extent. When Ross exploded out with the power of distortions, the Armament Haki hardening on his fist could not be maintained as it would be affected by the power of distortions and collapse. Whitebeard is able to attach Haki to his vibration, which means that there is a way to attach Haki to his Devil Fruit abilities Ross looked at his fist and his eyes glittered. Now that someone could do it, it showed that the road was feasible. He couldnt do it now because his Armament Haki was not strong enough and his control of Armament Haki and fruit ability is slightly inadequate. Maybe his control and development of Distortion Fruit will surpass Whitebeard in the future, but now he is still far from Whitebeard, who stands at the top of this world. Just as Ross was about to continue his exercise, a knock on the door came from outside, followed by Robins voice. Captain Ross, We have reached Elfa Port. I see. After the Ghost Shadow Ship docked in Port Elfa, Robin and Ross went to the island and split up to collect information about the Ironwall Pirates. At the same time, in the corner that nobody noticed, a World Government intelligence member in plain clothes took out a Den Den Mushi and reported solemnly to the other side. Reporting, the Ghost Hand Pirates have appeared on Port Elfa! Continue monitoring. On the other side, the chief of the Intelligence Department, after hearing reports from his subordinate, silently ordered him to continue monitoring and quickly transferred the intelligence to the top. At the same time, this intelligence was also handed over to the Marine Headquarters. As a result of the extremely wicked impact of the Ross incident, not only Marine Headquarters but also the top management of the World Government have been eyeing the Ghost-Hand Pirates. Ordinary Marine branches obviously cant deal with Ross and the Ghost-Hand Pirates. At least, a Headquarters Vice-Admiral must sit on the island that they are arriving. And to be safe, two Headquarters Vice-Admiral should be dispatched and more than three Battleships should be led. Should Headquarters send Battleships and Vice-Admiral? No, I suggest leaving it to CP9 to deal with secretly. Port of Elfa If I remember correctly, there are two more islands on this route, which is Crocodiles territory. Is that right? In that case, it would be possible to postpone the deployment of troops. It would be a better choice for Crocodile who had just signed the Shichibukai Treaty, to deal with the Ghost-Hand Pirates than for Marine to send out heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Ghost-Hand Pirates. If the Crocodile can kill the Pirates, then his Shichibukais position will remain fixed. If Crocodile is killed, then his position on Shichibukai is obviously not enough to balance the Grand Line, they can just change the members to avoid big trouble in the future. CHAPTER 82 ALCARIA Previous ChapterNext Chapter Alcaria. Inside a luxurious building, in a room on the top floor, Crocodile was sitting on the sofa, holding a cigar and watching the Den Den Mushi, which he had just hung up and he smirked and snorted. Ghost Hand Pirates They are really taking me for a casual squad. I dont have time to deal with your troubles for you. He is not interested in the Ghost Hand Pirates. As for the Ghost Pirates, who seems to be hunting other pirates, he did not care much either. He had been to the New World and he returned, he even challenged Whitebeard. Although he lost miserably, a pirate with a bounty of 200 million berries is undoubtedly not in his eyes. Just as Crocodile put the Den Den Mushi back in his pocket, a knock on the door was heard and a man with his chin covered came in. The man with his jaw covered came in the front of Crocodile with a respectful look and whispered: Mr. Crocodile, Iron Wall Pirates appeared in Elfa Port ten days ago, they seem to be coming here on their own. Huh? After looking for them for more than a month, I didnt expect them to come here on their own. Crocodile indifferent eyes flashed with a ray of light, he was more concerned about the Iron Wall Pirates than about Ghost Hands Pirates, because Iron Wall Pirates had what he needed. Previous efforts to deal with the Iron Wall Pirates were also aimed at robbing him of what he needed. As a result, he was escaped by his opponent. Keep an eye on the Iron Wall Pirates and report to me as soon as they appear. Elfa Port. Whether it is Ross, Robin, or Laffitte, they are very good at acquiring information. In a single day, they collected all the information that Ross needed. The Iron Wall Pirates with a bounty of 180 million Berries left Elfa Port ten days ago. Although their exact route is unknown, Robin has got an important intelligence, Apparently, the Iron Wall Pirates fought Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The two sides had once fought in a certain place in the sea and Iron Wall Pirates were defeated but the Captain and important cadres escaped. And. After appearing in Elfa Port, the Iron Wall Pirates inquired about Crocodile in the Underground world. That is to say the purpose of Iron Wall Pirates is probably to go and fight Crocodile. Ross listened to Robins intelligence and his eyes flashed with a whisper of a thought. Crocodile has only recently become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea with a bounty of only 81 million Berries, but his strength can not be measured by this bounty, he is a Logia Devil Fruit user, even with obvious weaknesses, he can run rampant in the first half of the Grand Line without Haki. But. Compared to the time when Luffy went out to sea, Crocodile is much younger. Even the Baroque work agency has not yet been formed and he has not gone to Alabasta. His reputation is not high even though many pirates with the bounty up to 170 million Berries has suffered in his hands. But after ten years, the Barrier-Barrier Fruit will be eaten by someone else, so the Iron Wall Pirates were probably completely destroyed by Crocodile. My prey cant be taken away by others, even if that someone is a Shichibukai. Rosss eyes flashed, although it seems that it will cause him some trouble with Crocodile, he cant let go of the first killing reward of the pirate with over 100 million rewards. By killing Iron Wall Pirates, he will get 1 Free Talent Point and the Gravity Distortion branch can be activated. After a little thought, Ross calmly said: Since this Iron Wall Pirates are going to find Crocodile, then we just have to find the location of Crocodile, Robin did you collect the intelligence on Crocodile? Crocodile has stayed in Alcaria for the last month. Robin nodded, consistently capable and reassuring, She is left arm of Ross. After reporting the information on Crocodile, Robins eyes flashed with thought and she said to Ross: Shichibukai is a pirate that can plunder and loot with the government permission. When we go towards Crocodile, the government will probably take this opportunity to deal with us. There is such a possibility, but Crocodile is not a person who will listen to the World Government. It is unlikely that he will cooperate with the Marines. Even if he really comes after us then lets let him. Rosss gaze is flat. Even if he was the original 10-year-later Crocodile, Ross was not afraid of him, not to mention that he has just become a Shichibukai. If he comes after him, he would just deal with him. Although the bounty of 81 million Berries is a bit low, Shichibukai may have a special bonus. Captain. While Ross and Robin were talking, Laffitte also returned with the Intelligence, carrying an umbrella-handle-shaped mahogany cane in one hand and courteous said: The information you need has been collected, the Iron Wall Pirates is on their way to Alcaria. They should not have reached there yet. Ross turned to look at Laffitte and said: It is aligned with the information Robin and I collected but you seem to have collected more accurate intelligence. I am very honored. Laffittes smile and flickered his wrist and took out an Eternal Pose and said: Iron Wall Pirates bought an Eternal Pose to Alcaria in the Underground world and I also got one. Good job. Ross looked at the Eternal Pose in Laffittes hands and nodded. With an Eternal Pose, he could reach Alcaria without having to go through the islands one by one, or even wait for the magnetic field to be fully stored in Elfa Port. After basically determining the route of Iron Wall Pirates, Ross and Laffitte returned to the ship and hung up full sails and headed for Alcaria at full speed with the fastest Ghost Shadow Ship. Ordinary cargo ships will take at least fifteen days to reach there but the Ghost Shadow Ship reached their destination in six and a half days. Finally reached. Standing in front of the deck of the Ghost Shadow Ship and looking at the large island in the distance, Ross took a deep breath. He didnt want Iron Wall Pirates to be robbed of their heads by Crocodile. If thats the case, he might have to take Crocodile head to vent his anger. Buzz!! Looking at Alcaria, Ross stood on the deck and suddenly raised his right hand and shook the empty space below. Under Rosss control, the power of distortion quickly spread into the sea, stirring a wave and directly carrying the Ghost Shadow Ship to the direction of Alcaria. Ross now has the ability to make waves and accelerate the ship without damaging the hull, but the stamina cost is not small, so he rarely does it. Crash! The Ghost Shadow Ship, which was extremely fast, left a white line on the sea and It took only two minutes to cross the 10-minute journey. As soon as he arrived on the shore, Ross converges and Laffitte and Robin quickly decelerate the Ghost Shadow Ship and it was finally docked on the shore of Alcaria. I hope its not too late. If my prey is robbed, then pray, Crocodile Ross jumped and set foot on the island, his eyes were calm and indifferent. CHAPTER 83 DISTORTION VS BARRIER Previous ChapterNext Chapter Alcaria island. This is a large island, where the Kingdom of Alcaria sits. This country is not a country of pirates, but one of the 170 subordinates allies affiliated with World Government. On a street, on the roof of a building, Ross and Laffitte stood looking at a group of people at the end of the street. There is no doubt that it was Iron Wall Pirates that Ross was eyeing. Ross asked Robin to stay with the ship and boarded the island with Laffitte, looking for the Iron Wall Pirates and the Iron Wall Pirates were also searching for Crocodile. In this search, Ross and Laffitte quickly discovered the Iron Wall Pirates and also found their large force. Hanging bounty of 180 million Berries, Iron Wall Ravarro and hanging bounty 70 million Berries wrestler Hanu, their main members are here. Laffitte turned to look at Ross. Do you want to go? Captain? Naturally. Ross stood on the edge of the roof, looking at the Iron Wall Pirates members gathering not far from the street below as if watching a group of monsters who provide experience. Whiz! The next moment, Ross jumped from the roof and landed on the street, straight in the direction of the Iron Wall Pirates. The people of Iron Wall Pirates were heading in the direction of Ross. Many people in the street recognized the Iron Wall Pirates and hid from them in fear. That is Iron Wall Pirates! Hey, is that Iron Wall Pirates that destroyed thirteen towns? Its said that their total bounty is more than 300 million berries. Why did they come here? The Captain of Iron Wall Pirates is a Supernova with a bounty of 180 million Berries. The total bounty of these pirate force is 300 million berries, which undoubtedly means that they have a very prestigious reputation in the first half of the Grand Line. However. As Ross leaped from the roof and headed in the direction of Iron Wall Pirates, countless breathing sounds soon came around. No, that man looks a bit like Yes its Ghost Hand Ross! Although many of the people present had not read the newspaper about Ross, they had more or less heard about it, but even so, a big pirate with a bounty of 200 million Berries appeared in the street, everyone still panicked and retreated. I heard that he has never looted civilians? Who knows this kind of thing But there seems to be some movement there, it seems to be Iron Wall Pirates! Someone turned to look at the other side of the street and his pupils shrank violently and there was a shudder in his heart. Iron Wall Pirates! Although there was no such thing as Pirates in the limelight, the slaughtering of 13 towns was still astounding and horrifying and more importantly, the Iron Wall Pirates and the Ghost Hand Ross appeared on the same street. Coincidence? No, if you remember correctly, the Ghost Hand Pirates seems to hunt other Pirates! Someone thought of this and couldnt help but stagnate as a terrifying and horrible thought appeared in his heart. Would the Ghost-Hand Pirates collide with the Iron Wall Pirates here?! With countless stares of shock, nervousness, or fear, the crowd disappeared in the street between Ross and Iron Wall Pirates. The Iron Wall Pirates saw Ross and stopped one by one. Ghost handRoss. Standing there, Captain Ravarro of Iron Wall Pirates, looked at Ross across the street, squinting slightly and said, After causing such big movement, you still dare to show up so casually? No, its not a casual appearance, but a show for you. Hanging bounty of 180 million Berries, Iron Wall Ravarro, I heard you are strong. Ross took two more steps forward, stopping only ten meters away from the Iron Wall Pirates. Ravarros slightly raised his mouth and said to Ross. Youve beaten up an entire Marine branch and your strength is good, but its not wise to block my way. Im looking for someone to settle accounts and I dont have time to play with you. Really? Ross gently lifted his foot and said: I really want to play a game with you Only one person can survive the game. Bang! Rosss raised foot slammed down and the earth in front of him slammed into a Distortion, showing a wave of terrifying ripples, rolling toward the mighty crowd of Iron Wall Pirates. It seems that you are tired of living. Ravarros face turned cold in an instant, he is famous for exacting vengeance. Otherwise, he would not put together a large force and came here to fight Crocodile. Anyone who dares to provoke him has been sent to hell by him! Protection barrier! His forefinger and middle finger were curved and folded together, a transparent glass barrier appeared in the middle of the street, inserting into the Underground fiercely. Bang! The Power of distortion surged along with the earth and hit the barrier, letting the glassy barrier suddenly show a strange Distortion and depression. For the first time, Ravarro met a person who could shake his barrier and his eyes flashed, but he didnt panic and raised his hand and pushed forward. Barrier Impact! The barrier that was Distorted and bent like rubber bounced back into the original shape and a repulsive force bursts into the front colliding with the power of distortion released by Ross. Bang Long! Suddenly, the earth in front of the barrier cracked and spread to both sides. Instantly, a deep ravine about 10 meters wide was split and the ground in front of Ross was all fragmented, It was similar to the aftermath of a magnitude 10 earthquake. The buildings on both sides of the street were completely smashed in the aftermath of the attack and the countless people were shocked. This Is it still human?! Without even moving, they destroyed a large street and two buildings. This scene falls in the eyes of many people. They were undoubtedly amazed by them and they were shocked. Cant it be destroyed? Ross looked at the barrier that was deformed by the power of distortion but it suddenly bounced back to its original shape. His eyes were calm and he did not show any surprise. Devil Fruits ability, in many cases, is also restrained. For example, the Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit can almost crush the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, making the barrier completely obsolete, but if a Zoan fruit faces the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, it cant do anything. A single punch that can destroy a town, will not be able to break this small barrier. And his Distortion Fruit works against the Barrier-Barrier Fruit. Although it cant destroy the barrier, it can deform the barrier like rubber. It really scared me. You are the first person who can shake my barrier But, thats it! Ravarro looked at Ross indifferently and his eyes flashed with ferocity as his hands raised and he waved violently. Barrier Impact! Whoosh! The two-sided barrier appeared silently in the position where Ravarros hands were closed in the middle, sandwiching Ross in the middle and squeezing toward the center at a very fast speed, intending to squeeze Ross into a meat paste. CHAPTER 84 ULTIMATE MOVE Previous ChapterNext Chapter Faced with the incoming two-sided barrier, Ross raised his hand and pressed it on both sides. Buzz!! Under the influence of the power of distortion, the glass barrier with almost unbreakable characteristics instantly distorted like dough. Distortion Fruit and Barrier-Barrier Fruit, regardless of the relationship between the two, their powers are purely based on the degree of development of the fruit. if Barrier-Barrier Fruit development is strong enough, it can withstand the power of the Distortion Fruit and if Distortion Fruit is stronger, it can naturally distort the barrier. In terms of fruit development, how can a single Ravarro be comparable to Ross, who has been working hard since he acquired the Distortion Fruit? That Devil fruit is very good, unfortunately, Its development is too poor. After the barrier was forcibly torn apart, Ross rushed straight toward Ravarro and in a single moment, he was already in front of Ravarro. !!! Ravarro was shocked and did not hesitate to retreat to the rear. Although he was cruel and sly, he was not a fool. Since Ross could make dough out of his barrier, he could probably make dough out of him. Ravarro raised his hands and shouted angrily as he retraced toward the rear. Barrier Ability Hammer! The fluid-like barrier emerged from his palm and turned into a glass-like giant hammer that hammered down on Ross under his control. Ross was expressionless raised his hand and punched towards the sky. Bang! His fist collided with the barrier hammer and a loud sound broke out in an instant. An air wave centered on the impact site rippled in all directions. Ordinary people who have retreated or fled, even outside a few streets are struck by the loud sound which left their ears ringing and even members of Iron Wall Pirates are stunned! How can it be That guy actually distorted bosss barrier and also caught the Barrier Hammer! Many Iron Wall Pirateswatched the brief confrontation between Ross and Ravarro and they were shocked. Since they followed Ravarro, they have never seen Ravarros barrier destroyed. Whether its a powerful swordsman, a spring-fruit man, or Vice-Admiral of the Marine branch, all of them are helpless in front of Ravarros barrier. Not to mention that when a Distortion is formed on the barrier, the barrier disappeared. Ghost Hand Ross no wonder hes called ghost hand. He must be quite strong. Can those hands break Captains barrier? Iron Pirates deputy Captain, wrestler Hanu looked at Ross and Ravarros Battle and suddenly yelled at his subordinates: Aim at Ghost Hand Ross! They are ferocious pirates that run across the sea. There is no such thing as fighting alone. When confronted with an enemy, it is natural to kill the enemy by all means. Under Hanus order, the Iron Wall Pirates crew members who were immersed in the fight woke up and picked up their weapons, some pulling out swords and some pulling out the guns. It was then that they heard a voice coming from the building next to them. Huh-huh, please be quiet and dont disturb our Captains Battle. Laffitte was sitting on the sign of a store, holding a mahogany cane with a strange smile on his face, looking down at the Iron Wall Pirates. With a bounty of 80 million Berries, In the Ghost Hand Pirates, he is currently second only to Ross, so his name is quite famous. Demon SherrifLaffitte. Hanu recognized Laffitte and his face sank in an instant. He shook his arms. His muscles relaxed and tightened. He showed a ferocious look and said, How about wrestling? Laffitte, Hanu, and other members of Iron Wall Pirates on this side, while Ross and Ravarros Battle on the other side, have shown a nearly one-sided situation. Whiz! Rosss figure flickered as he came to Ravarros side. His right hand clenched into a fist and he punched Ravarros head. Ravarro did not hesitate to launch the Barrier-Barrier Fruit ability, creating a small barrier between his face and Rosss fist. However. Ross fist hit the barrier and the direct Distortion caused the small barrier to hollow out like a dough and his fist hit Ravarros face. Kch! Ravarros mouth was bleeding and he spits out two of his teeth and his right face was swollen, which was the result of a barrier that counteracted most of Rosss strength, otherwise, he wouldve been killed. Bastard Die! Ravarro was beaten by Ross and lost several teeth. His eyes were bloodshot and he was furious. He screamed as his hands slammed toward Ross. Instantly, numerous fluid-like objects emerged from the void, which did not form a barrier but they were separately transformed into a glass-shaped sword, suspended in the air, which then attacked Ross frantically. Because the toughness of the barrier is almost impossible to break, even the King Punch which can smash an entire kingdom could not shake this barrier, so the sharp blades formed from this abilities needs no other words. However. In front of Rosss Distortion Fruit, this toughness doesnt exist as the development of his fruit is far ahead of Barrier fruit. Crash! Ross put his hands out and grabbed them. He pulled the swords together and then smashed them into a glass ball. He threw it out with his backhand and ripped the remaining swords away. Then Ross took a step and he rushed forward again towards Ravarro. His right hand was clenched into a fist as he punched it out. Bang! Although Ravarro once again created a barrier between Rosss fist and his chest, the barrier was still turned into a dough under the influence of the power of distortion. It was deformed by the Distortion power and Rosss fist collapsed on his chest. Ravarro flew backward and the ribs on his chest made broken sounds as blood gushed out of his mouth. Even if the barrier counteracts most of his strength, his ribs were almost broken by the blow. I take back what I just said. You have developed this fruit well Its just that youre not as strong as I am. Ross spoke calmly to Ravarro, who had vomited blood and flew backward. Looking at Ravarros tactics today, its much better than the green-haired guy ten years later. The bounty of 180 million Berries looks a little lower to Ross. Ravarros back slammed into the distant building, but at the moment of touching the building, a barrier appeared between his body and the building, blocking most of his impact. His body fell to the ground and he covered his chest with a violent cough. Youare the first person to hurt me. Ravarro raised his head and stared at Ross with palpitating, cold eyes and said in a chilly voice, But if you want my head, you have to have the courage to bet your life on it! Buzz!! He lifted his legs and stepped forward. The fluid barrier emerged from beneath his feet and spread rapidly. He pushed the size of the barrier he was currently able to stimulate to the limit. Almost instantaneously, a giant barrier of about three meters high appeared in the field and the glassy barrier wrapped Ravarros body. Looking at this scene, Ross narrowed his eyes. Ohh? He probably knows why Crocodile couldnt kill Iron Wall Ravarro before. CHAPTER 85 REALLY LOST A LO T Previous ChapterNext Chapter Bang! Ravarro took a step forward, stepping on the ground with a glass-shaped enclosure made up of barriers and creating an inch long crack on the ground, he looked like an all-metal machine armor fighting god. This is my absolute defense! Ravarros voice came out of the inside of the barrier and although it became a little weak, it still entered Rosss ear clearly. So, despair! With a fierce smile on his face, he rushed towards Ross as his huge fist was wrapped in a barrier, he hammered towards Rosss head, wrapped in terrifying momentum and tried to beat Ross into a bunch of meat pies. Ross looked at the fallen fist, his eyebrows gradually wrinkled and he retreated to the rear. Whats wrong? Didnt you have a good fight just now?! Ravarro grinned fiercely and continued to chase Ross, punching continuously, while Ross kept avoiding his fists and showing a slight unwillingness. Chop! Ravarro pushed Ross back with his fist and closed his hands together. The barrier flowed into a glass sword, which fell sharply at Ross. Ross took a step toward the side and the sword fell into the street creating a ten-meter-wide crack in the street instantly splashing gravel and mud. Not far away, members of Iron Wall Pirates, who are fighting Laffitte, saw Ravarros ultimate ability that forced Ross to retreat and their confidence boosted. That! Captains absolute defense! No one has ever been able to destroy it and it has crushed all enemies! Many pirates were amazed. Once Ravarro used this trick to defeat the Marine fleet led by a branch Vice-Admiral, and there was no resistance. On the field. Ravarro swung a sword that cut off a house on one side and walked to Ross with a mighty grin. Whats wrong? he muttered. Do you feel despair?! With a cruel grim expression, he controlled the clothes of the barrier and raised the transparent sword, intending to end the Battle quickly. But. It was at this time that Ross spoke up. Its a big loss Did you finally realized that it was a mistake to provoke Iron Wall Ravarro? Ravarro held a high-spirited posture and looked at Ross, coldly saying: Unfortunately, its too late! The moment his voice fell, he turned his power to the utmost, wrapping the sword with unprecedented terrifying power and boldly split against Ross! Its really a big loss this time Looking at the power of Ravarros sword, Ross repeated what he had said before, he closed his eyes slowly and clenched his fingers into fists that trembled slightly. Such strength and he only have a bounty of 180 million Berries, it is too bad! Rosss fist swayed upwards and slammed at the sword in Ravarros hand. The strength of this Ravarro is enough for him to have a bounty of 300 million berries, but his actual bounty is only 180 million Berries, two grades lower! Ross was angry. After bending the sword of the barrier, he grabbed it with his back hand and pulled it violently. He pulled the whole barrier together with Ravarro and smashed it with one punch. Bang! The punch hit the glass-like barrier and water-like ripples appeared on it. The entire barrier was made into a paste by the power of distortion that broke out from Ross. Bang! Ross raised his foot and kicked Ravarros barrier armor, slamming it into the side of a building. Whiz! Ross disappeared and appeared in front of Ravarro, his fist slamming down and hitting the pasty armor that had not yet recovered. Like the crisp sound of glass breaking, the barrier bursts directly from the center, the power of distortion falls on Ravarros body through the barrier, causing him to spurt blood from his mouth and his ribs broke. After the series of attacks, he couldnt react at all and his face was filled with horrer and fear. .. All the barriers disappeared instantly and Ravarros body fell on the ruined streets. The wrestler Hanu was expressionless. Members of Iron Wall Pirates, too, were expressionless and there was no noise in the air. Laffitte also stared for a moment, then gently smiled while reaching up and lifting his hat. Cough! Cough! Ravarro was still alive. He coughed twice and tried to get up, but the severe pain in his chest made him unable to even flip his body. Ross walked toward Ravarro, step by step to his side, stepping on his chest and saying, Why is there a bounty of only 180 million Berries Cough! Cough! Ravarro vomited blood violently, blood spilled from his nose and mouth. He looked at Rosss face and listened to Rosss inexplicable words. Fear spread in his heart. What is this man talking about? Is he a madman? But how can a madman have such strength?! Your strength, your bounty should be a lot higher, even if it was 20 million higher Ross spoke to himself. Listening to Ross, Ravarros inner fear spread and gradually occupied his whole heart. He suddenly coughed violently and said to Ross, Dont Dont kill me If you want money, I have many precious things here Ross looked at him without any emotions. Ravarro cried, No! No I have I have ancient weapons Maps His eyes were full of fear. Maybe he would not fear a cruel pirate, but there is a madman in front of him who easily defeated him and said things he didnt understand at all. He didnt have the pride to wait for death after losing. Ravarro reluctantly raised his arm, reached into his clothes, and pulled out a very old, somewhat tattered drawing. Look the ancient weapons you want whats there Looking at this scene, Ross showed a strange look for the first time. Ancient weapons? ! It is rumored that the three ancient weapons that existed before the establishment of the World Government, Uranus, Sea King Poseidon, and Pluton. The Pluton is a ship that can destroy an island and Sea King Poseidon is a mermaid Princess who can communicate and command all Sea Kings in the sea. As for Uranus, it is still unknown. Ross reached out, took the old map from Ravarro and slowly opened it, but with only one look, his eyes showed a strange look. Ancient weapon Map of Sea King Poseidon? Yes, it is. Ravarro responded with a tremor. Ross went on looking blankly. Sneer! The power of distortion in Rosss body was activated, ripping the old map into numerous fragments in an instant and scattering everywhere. Looking at this scene, Ravarro was stunned. That is the map of ancient weapons! Once its out there, there will be countless pirates who would want this, Crocodile found him just for this map and he wanted to kill Crocodile because Crocodile knows he has this map. But Such a precious thing was actually destroyed by Ross. Is he really a madman? ! Stupid. Rosss expressionless said before using the power of distortion and without any blood spilling Ravarros body is silently separated. Looking at the fragmented body with a trace of despair on his face, Ross spoke in a voice that only he could hear. My eyes have the ability to understand all the truth in this world. The Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi, who lives in the fishermans island is the ancient weapon, Sea King Poseidon. As for this treasure map, it may be a graffiti that the ancients people used to paint hundreds of years ago. I am afraid I dont know how many people have been turned around by it. When they search for it they die without finding any trace of ancient weapons. They dont know the truth. CHAPTER 86 CROCODILE Previous ChapterNext Chapter Hanging bounty of 180 million Berries, Iron Wall Ravarro, has been killed, receiving a reward of 80 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Point. The familiar system sounded in his ear and Ross who had previously been annoyed that Iron Wall Ravarros reward did not match his strength, finally shook his head. The level of bounty is undoubtedly affecting the level of reward. The bounty orders of this world are not something that is sent out casually but it will be based on the degree of harm caused by someone, then that person will be discussed by the government and Marine at various levels before the final result. Perhaps a pirate with a bounty of 150 million berries may not be able to win against a pirate with a bounty of 180 million berries, but the bounty of tens of millions or billions of berries is obviously incomparable. The bounty may not represent strength, but to a certain extent, there are still standards of strength in it. Naturally. Apart from Shichibukais (Seven Warlords of the Sea) bounty that was fixed at the time of signing the agreement. Ross also thought about whether Shichibukai would have a special reward, but the system did not give him an answer. Now, Gravity Distortion can be activated. Rosss face reappeared with a smile. In fact, he also considered his ability to develop Gravity Distortion, but he could not even touch the edge of gravity. Perhaps without the Talent System, Distortion Fruit development limit wouldve been same as Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) of Whitebeard. The Tremor Fruit can only produce pure material Distortion effect, which is the limit of the world. After all, it is difficult to shatter space even with the Whitebeards Strength. On the other side. Just when Ross killed Ravarro, Laffitte took advantage of the distraction moment of Hanu, the wrestler, to precisely pierce the red stick into the heart of his opponent. Laffitte is stronger than Hanu. Even in the face of a group of pirates, he is more skillful. When the pirates are distracted, he will naturally not engage in heroism, but seize the opportunity to quickly kill is opponents. Iron Wall Pirates collapsed after Hanu fell to the ground. Ross didnt rush to count his harvest. Instead, he turned to look at Laffittes direction. After jumping, he waved his hand and shattered the ground instantly smashing seven or eight pirates. Kill them all. Ross seldom kills ordinary Marine soldiers who only attacked him solely on command. He is not a murderous butcher, but for pirates that slaughtered dozens of Towns, Rosss heart has no fluctuations. Yes, Captain. Laffitte would not have any objection to harvesting life. Smiling in the street, Laffitte sent a Pirate from Iron Wall Pirates to hell. Iron Wall Piratess strongest Captain and Vice Captain have been killed and other pirates that have a bounty of 10 or 20 million berries are not their opponents and they were all killed. Clench! Rosss Happy Spring pierced the heart of the last pirate. Should we find the rest of Iron Wall Pirates and kill them? Watching the last pirate fall, Laffitte smiles at Ross and asks. Let Marine do the washing. Ross shook his head as his purpose was achieved and the pirates that were killed at the scene was already handy. As for continuing to chase the Iron Wall Pirates it is not his job. Happy Spring was pulled out and the bloodstains were shaken off. Ross put his sword in the scabbard and decided to call Laffitte back. However, at this time, he suddenly looked at the street on one side. Patter He doesnt know when but there was sand on the street over there, which was carried by the wind and blown from unknown places. At the next moment, a dark shadow appeared from the deep part of the street, which was slowly coming towards his direction. He wore a gray fur coat with a cigar in his mouth and a scar across his cheek beneath his eyes. Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile! So I was late a group of unfavorable guys. Crocodile walked up to the street and looked at the tragic scenery on the street. The extinction of the Iron Wall Pirates did not enter his eyes. After a sweep, his eyes fell on Ross. Iron Wall Pirates came to the Crocodile to fight him, so naturally, they are not going to anchor their ship on the port and like the Ghost Shadow Ship, they docked their ship on the edge of Alcaria and sneaked into the island. By the time Crocodiles men found Iron Wall Pirates, Ross had already fought with Iron Wall Pirates and when Crocodile heard the news, he immediately came here but he was still a step late. The Battle between the Ghost Hands Pirates and Iron Wall Pirates ended much faster than he expected. Seven Warlords of the Sea, Sand Crocodile, What are you doing here? Ross looked at Crocodile and asked in a quiet tone. Crocodile indifferently looked at Ross. At the end of the cigar in his mouth, a thin wisp of smoke drifted upward, forming a silk thread and escaping over his head. Not far away, besides Iron Wall Ravarros body, sand quietly poured into his clothes, rolled up and explored inside and outside. No! Crocodile looked at Ross and his gaze gradually became cold. He knew about the ancient weapon map. Ravarro would definitely not place it anywhere else and will carry it on himself. After all, his name was Iron Wall, which was supposed to be never broken. And Ravarro has nothing now. The Map It was taken away by you. Crocodile stared at Ross and said in an indifferent voice, No wonder youre still bold in your current situation. You also want that power. Ross heard Crocodiles words and his eyes showed a glimmer of light in them. No wonder Crocodile would attack Iron Wall Pirates. No wonder Iron Wall Pirates would come to his door again. Neither side wanted to let the news out. Unfortunately. The map was fake. If it was a map of Pluton and Uranus, it may have been true. But it cant be true about the Sea King Poseidon. Moreover, Crocodile went to Alabastan a few years later to acquire the ancient weapons Pluton, which clearly proved that. You mean that fake map? Its been ripped off by me. Crocodile narrowed his eyes and showed a dangerous expression. To deceive him, he should make up a better reason than that, destroying the map, even fools wont believe it. The government recently told me to take away your head. I didnt intend to pay any attention to it. I didnt expect you to come to my place and take what you shouldnt take His tone became cold and indifferent as if he were speaking to a dead man. Ancient Weapons are something that the more people know the more accidents will occur. It doesnt matter if Ross has the map or not, the outcome is already decided and he is doomed to die here. CHAPTER 87 DISTORTION VS SAND Previous ChapterNext Chapter Rustle At Crocodiles feet, sand spreads out constantly, and the broken earth is gradually transformed into fine sand under the influence of his ability. Looking at the hostile and murderous Crocodile, Rosss eyes were calm. He could completely guess Crocodiles inner thoughts, but he would not explain his own words. He had already said the truth and it was the other sides business to believe it or not. He will not bother to explain the qualification of ancient weapons. You can defeat the Marines and destroy Iron Wall Pirates. You are very strong, but I am not the idiots of the government and Marines! Crocodile slowly walked toward Ross. The place where he passed was covered with a layer of sand. Just as his voice fell, his eyes flashed as he suddenly moved forward and his right arm turned into Sand attacking Ross. Barjan (Cresent Shaped Sand Dune)! A crescent-shaped blade of sand appeared with the swing of his arm and swept towards Ross. The blade of sand contains a dangerous atmosphere. It will not split the human body, but it will drain all the living things it touches. In the face of this move, Rosss response is also very simple, his five fingers clenched into a fist as he punched the coming attack. Distortion Fist! Bang! Rosss punch hits the crescent-shaped sand blade and the sand blade instantly bursts apart. Before the dry force of the sand blade in the sand edge penetrated Rosss body, it was blocked by the power of distortion. He sighed. Why is it that no one believes the truth. After punching Crocodiles sand blade, Rosss eyes gradually calmed down and he said, Now that youve done it, you can bet your life on it. Since the truth is not believed, then whoever has the biggest fist will speak the truth. Their strength is the sole factor for testing the truth. For this kind of thing, life is really a good bet, it seems you are ready. Crocodile is not surprised that Ross has blocked his attack. He can make Marines suffer from losses. He is someone who has completely destroyed the Iron Wall Pirates, It will not be this easy to defeat him. He extended his right hand and slammed into the Underground. Bang! The ability of Logia Sand Sand Fruit was fully launched by him. In the original broken ground, countless cracks appeared in an instant, centered on the place he pressed and spread in all directions. The black soil with water changed from black to brown and finally yellow to at a visible speed. Almost instantaneously, the earth within a few tens of meters of the radius was completely turned into sand. This sand wrapped Ross in it and strangled him. Changing the terrain You want to create a more favorable Battle environment? Ross looked calmly at the street that had turned into a sandy field in a flash, without any fluctuation in his eyes. But youre not the only one who can control the sand, he said. Bang! In the next moment, Ross lifted his foot and the sand that swept over him exploded instantly under the influence of the power of distortion. Then Ross raised his hand towards Crocodile and shook it away. The sand under Crocodiles feet suddenly surged out of his control, wrapped around him and then squeezed him violently. Bang! Crocodiles body was squeezed and turned into sand, which soon reassembled and regained its human form. Using your ability to manipulate sand? He stared at Ross with no surprise in his eyes, but with a slight sneer. Are you competing for the control of elements in front of a Logia Fruit User? he said. At the moment his voice fell, Crocodile raised his arm and waved at Ross. In an instant. The sand under Rosss feet suddenly rushed toward Ross with lightning speed, turning into sharp sand blades and intending to cut Ross off from waist. This attack was already captured by Rosss Observation Haki. He raised his hand and directly pressed it on the sand blade. Bang! Rosss power of distortion can no longer control the sand, but under the power of distortion outbreak, Crocodile can no longer maintain the shape of the sand. The whole blade of the sand pops open, turning into countless sand particles and drifting in all directions. Just as the dust and sand drifted away, Ross stepped on his feet and he left a residual image as he charged towards Crocodile, he clenched his right hand into a fist and punched. Humph! Crocodile snorted and struck with the same unafraid fist. His fist instantly deserted and turned into a huge sandboxing almost double the size of Ross. Bang! Suddenly the two fists collided and the huge sand fist consisting of dust and sand exploded abruptly under Rosss power of distortion, revealing Crocodiles arms and fists. Ross did not stop this punch and continued to collide with Crocodiles fist. Crocodiles eyes were shivering and he was about to mobilize his powers to drain the water from Ross and turn Ross into a corpse. But before his powers could invade Ross, A violent power of distortions poured down on his arm. Bang! One of Crocodiles arms, under the power of distortion, was instantly turned into yellow sand and he flew backward. That attack was strong but I am a Logia User. This types of tricks wont work against me. Crocodile turned into the sand in mid-air and re-assembled in another place. His arm, which was exploded was instantly restored to its original state. Laffitte squinted slightly as he watched the scene from a distance. That is the elementalization of the Logia Devil Fruit, the most powerful of Devil Fruit, it really is something. Crash. After the yellow sand re-condensed into Crocodile shape, he lowered his voice and raised his hand to the ground. Sand Sand Fruits ability exploded wantonly. Ground Death(Erosion Samsara) Centered on him, the earth once again spreads towards desertification in all directions. Everything, whether earth, stone or architecture, is eroded by Sand Fruit, which has collapsed and powdered into yellow sand. Laffitte watched the scene and his face changed slightly as he leaped back a few times, jumping to the top of a building farther away, watching from afar. Whiz! Ross did not give Crocodile the chance to unleash his abilities wantonly. Instead, he stepped forward and used Geppo to rush towards Crocodile. Faced with the rushing Ross, Crocodile gave a cold hum, he lifted his hands up and the dust and sand whirled wildly around him in an instant, turning into a terrifying hurricane. Sables(Sandstorm)! CHAPTER 88 METAMORPHOSIS Previous ChapterNext Chapter Bang! Bang! Bang! Ross was wrapped in a large sand storm released by Crocodile, but he was not swept away by dust and sand. Instead, he used Gepp (Moonwalk) and forced himself out of it and punched Crocodile. Crocodile sank his face slightly, this brief confrontation gave him a clear idea of Rosss abilities. His physical strength was extraordinary and his fruit development was extraordinarily powerful. Almost no trick could stop Rosss steps. Even though he is a Logia user, it is not easy to fight Ross. But As an elemental ability, it will always be invincible. Crocodile did not think that his Logia would lose to Paramecia. After all, the consumption of stamina by Logia was lower than that by Paramecia. Faced with Rosss punch, Crocodiles right arm folded into a knife made from sand and slammed it towards Ross. However. Just as Rosss fist was about to collide with Crocodiles sand knife, a strange force suddenly gushed out of his fist and instantly covered it. Armed! Crash! Although this punch does not release the power of distortion, it still breaks Crocodiles sandknife with Armament Hakis hardening strength and his physical ability which he never neglects to exercise. Crocodile went to New World and even challenged Whitebeard. It was impossible for him to not recognize Armament Haki. He was so shocked that he could hardly escape. He could only clench his fist and wrap himself in the sand. Bang! Rosss punch shattered Crocodiles rushed sandbox shell and collided directly with Crocodiles fist. Even though Armament Hakis attack was far less powerful than his full-blown power of distortion, the punch still caused severe pain in the phalanges and numbness in Crocodiles fingers. Damn Haki? Ross used Armament Haki, which was obviously beyond Crocodiles expectation. He was shocked. All the contempt against Ross had disappeared, replaced by a very dignified expression. To be able to use Haki and or not are two completely different concepts against a Logia User. Without Armament Haki, A Logia User will not have any obvious weakness and they will be able to defeat their opponent. But once someone is able to use Haki, he will have a basic strength against any Logia User! Even the weaker Armament Haki still has the effect of capturing the Logia competent entity! The thing about Logia user is that they always think that they know everything and will always remain superior to others. Unfortunately you know nothing about my strength. Armament Haki attached to Rosss fist disappeared, avoiding a sandknife that Crocodile counterattacked with. At the same time, the power of distortion suddenly rushed out and he punched the coming sandknife, scattered it. If Rosss Haki had been able to attach to the power of distortions then this blow would have been enough to hit Crocodile hard. Crash! Crocodile turned into the yellow sand and re-coagulated dozens of meters away, his face gradually restored calm and the surprise just disappeared. It seems that you still cant use Haki very well. He once challenged Whitebeard and was seriously injured by Whitebeards punch. The power of the shock is somewhat similar to the power exerted by Rosss fist, but it is clear that Ross cannot attach Haki to his fruit ability. After all, it was Crocodile and he judged Rosss weakness by his attacks. It is enough to deal with you. Ross did not deny Crocodiles claim that he did not use Haki well enough, but Crocodile did not develop his fruit ability to the level of a Marine Admiral who could easily destroy an island. Whiz! Rosss figure flickered and in the next moment, he appeared beside Crocodile, his right hand clenched into a fist and he violently punched. The Power of distortion erupted, which turned Crocodiles body into a beach of scattered yellow sand again. Then Ross attached his left hand to the black Armament Haki Haki, exhibited the hardening of Armament Haki, grabbed the scattered yellow sand and pulled Crocodile. Desert Spada(Treasured Sword of the Desert)! Crocodile shouted angrily, raised his hand and split violently towards the ground, the whole ground split instantly from the middle, as if cut by something sharp, there appeared a ditch tens of meters in length and breadth. Ross avoided the attack and punched Crocodile with his backhand, he used Armament Haki in this punch, causing Crocodile to fly out. Bang! Bang! Bang! Crocodile continually attacked with Desert Spada that created various cracks in the deserted street, while Ross confronted him positively, He used Distortion Fist to smash his Desert Spada and Armament Haki armed punch to hit him. These trick wont work on me. Crocodile snorted, raised his hand and pressed it. The dust gathered and turned into a shield of sand, blocking Ross Armament Hakis punch. Ross didnt respond and he attacked Crocodiles sand shield with his other hand using the power of distortion and continued his attacks on the sand shield. The battle originally covered an area of about a hundred meters that had been turned to sand but under the Battle of these two, it gradually expanded to two hundred meters and three hundred meters. There what happened? The street disappeared and became a desert Countless people who were covered with dust and sand turned their heads to look at the direction of the sand and they were stunned and many of them couldnt believe what they were seeing. Bang! A sound echoed and the sand waves splashed in the area, they were tens of meters high could be seen clearly from hundreds of meters away. Bang! Another sound echoed. In the tremor, the wind was sweeping in all directions with dust and sand, which made it difficult for many people to keep in their original position. They had to hold onto the buildings next to them. The guards of the Alcaria kingdom have already arrived, but looking at the sand sea, they can only look at each other and no one dared to rush in. As for the general Captain of the Guard, although he has some strength, the source of this sand is undoubtedly Crocodile who is one of the Seven Warlords of the Seas, rushing in to stop him is obviously a joke. Who is fighting Crocodile? This is the strength of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea Many people look at the area which spreads hundreds of meters and was filled with sand. They can not help but feel their heart palpitate and they showed some awe and shock in their eyes. Bang! Another Bang sounded and a sand wave of about dozens of meters high was splashed in the center. Ross punched Crocodiles Desert Spada which caused the yellow sand to scattered. Then he punched Crocodiles chest. Bang! Crocodiles body collapsed again into a pool of yellow sand, but when he reformed again into a human figure, the expressions on his face were no longer as calm as before. The punch just now gave him a different feeling. Rosss strength was very different. Hakis fist could hurt him, but pure abilitys fist had no effect on him. But now, that pure abilitys fist has made his chest a little uncomfortable. Misconception?! Crocodiles face was somewhat depressed but Ross had already rushed over again and punched him again with his fist wrapped in the power of distortion. Crocodile didnt evade. He had tried to evade Ross several times before, but Ross has caught him. There is no doubt that Ross also has Observation Haki. With a shout of anger, he turned his arms into two huge blades of sand and swept towards Ross. Bang! Crocodiles blade of sand failed to hold for a second and it broke apart under the bang of the power of distortion, while Rosss fist was once again on Crocodile. The punch fell and Crocodiles face finally changed. If it was a Misconception before then this time, the pain in his chest cleared that Misconception. CHAPTER 89 *HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter Whats wrong? You seem surprised? Ross calmly looked at Crocodile. Its a common phenomenon to make progress in Battle. You dont think Im spending stamina meaninglessly. In this world, Fights are always the best catalyst for improving strength. Before Ross could not combine Armament Haki with the power of distortion perfectly, but in his confrontation with Crocodile, he gradually touched the key point of coexistence between the two, Haki with one hand, Distortion with another. Ross was going to look for opportunities to activate Gravity Distortion and use his new abilities to crush Crocodile, but its not fair for him to use it in this fight and its not in line with his direct and straight forward style of doing things and his principle of working hard on his own. So he only made preparations for the temporary addition method but did not implement it. Crocodiles face became ugly. Rosss Haki and fruit ability cant be perfectly combined. This is a big flaw and weakness. It is also because of this that he was able to stand against Ross until now. But now Ross is gradually overcoming this defect, and the final result of this Battle is clearly flying in a direction beyond his control. Desert la Spada(Adamant Treasured Sword of the Desert) Crocodiles face was twisted in anger and he used his Sand Sand Fruit to its limit, countless dust and sand rolled up, gathered in the air into various huge blades which surrounded Ross in the center. Under his control, these huge sand blades suddenly attacked Ross from all sides. Crocodile planned to make a quick and large move to finish this fight as soon as possible. Bang! Bang! Bang! Ross did not have any fear and he did not avoid any coming blade. He just waved his fist in front of him and punched them one after another and with every punch a sand sword fell and this attack did not affect him. Crocodile guides the sand in Underground with both hands and tries to form a spear to penetrate Ross but before the spear could come out of the sand, Ross raises his foot and the power of distortion pours into the sand, instantly destroying the unshaped spears. In front of Sand Fruit, Ross can hardly compete for control of sand, but in the same way, Crocodile can hardly manipulate sand on the ground at will. Dont you understand yet? Crocodiles offensive was disrupted and Ross stepped out of the sand and rushed towards Crocodile. From the beginning, I was fighting against you to exercise my abilities. Bang! As his voice fell, Rosss fist suddenly punched Crocodiles sand shield and broke his arms and shattered his head. Crocodile, who was shattered into yellow sand by Rosss punch escaped from the Underground and reformed his body dozens of meters away. This time, when he recovered, there was a blood spilling from his mouth and nose. Obviously, Rosss Last fist had done caused some considerable damage. This arrogant guy. Crocodile gritted his teeth and his eyes were filled with killing intent but by this time, he knew that the Battles balance of victory and defeat had begun to tilt. If he continues his fight against Ross then the chances of winning are very low. Crocodiles mind flickered and eventually, he chose to withdraw. But. By this time, he cant walk if he wants to. I seem to have said from the very beginning that since you have started, you have to gamble your life as I do with mine. Ross looked at Crocodile indifferently and he ran after him. Sables(Sandstrom)! Crocodile whispered and a dust storm appeared in his palm and he threw it at Ross. At the same time, he turned into yellow sand and flew away with the wind. Ross stepped on the foot and shot out like an arrow. His right hand was instantly covered with Armament Haki hardening and it was inserted into the yellow sand. Crash! Logias elementalization was directly captured and held in front of Rosss Haki. As Ross pulled, the yellow sand was partially pulled back revealing Crocodiles figure. Ross ignored Crocodiles dramatic expression and punched him. Bang! This time, Crocodiles body didnt even break up into yellow sand. Instead, it broke up a small part of his body. Crocodile flew backward and bled out of his mouth. ViolentSables (Sandstrom)! Crocodile felt the pain in his chest and gritted his teeth. He had been to New World, experienced numerous dangerous situations and even challenged Whitebeard, but he survived. It was impossible for a pirate newcomer to want his life! With a roar and a violent wave of his hands, the 100-meter-square yellow sand flew into the sky in an instant, bursting into an earth-shaking power and attacking Ross in a mad way. Far away. Many Alcaria civilians and guards saw this scene and were shocked, In the desert, such a scene is nothing, but here is the Kingdom of Alcaria, this scene was something out of a fantasy! In this place, such terrifying sandstorms erupted, so even for them who had lived on the Grand Line their entire life, they were shocked. But. Before they could recover from their shock, A loud sound erupted from the sandstorm. The raging sandstorm seemed to become static, it was instantly fixed on the spot and scattered downward. In the middle of the sky about tens of meters away, two figures appeared and Ross indifferent punched Crocodiles chest and Crocodiles blood dyed the scattered yellow sand. This is Seeing this scene, many people who know Crocodile are surprised. Compared with Crocodile, Rosss popularity is not very low and he is recognized by many people who are watching from afar in silence. So, A Shichibukais head, I will accept it. Ross took a false step in the air and instead of falling to the ground with Crocodile, he brewed all the power of distortions into his legs and slammed a back kick that hit Crocodile in the back. Kch! The sound of broken bones spread clearly and shock filled Crocodiles eyes, but his body completely lost control and he fell downward, eventually falling in the middle of a piece of yellow sand, splashing dust and sand. His eyes fell into darkness and his consciousness gradually shattered. Even at the last moment, he was not accepting this situation. As the most powerful Logia Devil Fruit user, he should not die here in the hands of a pirate newcomer like Ross. Ross watched Crocodile fall into the sand. There was no movement. After several seconds in the air, Ross also fell to the ground below. After a moment of silence, the people who were watching from afar were finally in an uproar. Everyone in the world had thought that The Ghost Hand Pirates who had provoked Marine and the government completely, would stop for a while, but they didnt even stop for half a month, killing not only Iron Wall Pirates, but also Crocodile, one of Shichibukais. Without a doubt. This will be big news that will shock the world again! Everyone present thought that no one could stop the rise of the Ghost Hand Pirates. On the other side. Ross didnt care about the reaction of Alcarias civilians, he landed in the sand below, next to Crocodiles body, which had gradually lost its vitality and it suddenly disappeared. After two seconds, Rosss face, which had remained calm, showed a smile. Seven Warlords of the Sea, Sand Crocodile, has been killed, earning a reward of 100 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Point. Chapter 89 Killing A Shichibukai CHAPTER 90 GRAVITY DISTORTION Previous ChapterNext Chapter Killing a Shichibukai really has hidden rewards, which is equivalent to the first kill of Marine Vice-Admiral. This is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for Ross. Counting the rewards from killing Iron Wall Pirates, he now has 180 Talent Proficiency Points and 4 Free Talent Points. It can also be deduced from Shichibukais existence of hidden rewards that the hunting rewards given by Talent System are not based solely on the suspended bounty of the World Government. However, in most cases, suspended bounty corresponds to the level of strength. Now that he thinks about it, Iron Wall Ravarro, who had a bounty of 180 million berries has a strength that was comparable to a Shichibukai but he failed to give him any additional reward after the hunt Well, people should be content and happy. Captain Ross, even a Shichibukai has been killed, so Shichibukais position is vacant Laffitte came up from a distance and looked at Crocodiles body lying in the Yellow sand, tilting his head and showing a thoughtful look. Speaking of it, Captain is absolutely qualified to serve as Shichibukai with your strength, but the government is mostly ready to kill us. So Shichibukais position doesnt need to be considered. Ross nodded, without the previous newspaper, he was likely to receive an invitation by the World Governments Shihibukai agreement after he has eliminated Crocodile. Now, whether the government or Marines senior officials, they are eager to kill him. Unless he has something that both the government and Marine are afraid of, Shichibukais position is completely untenable. However. Even the failure to serve as a Shichibukai did not affect Rosss next plan of action. The next thing to do is to take shelter from the limelight. I have already thought of a good place for us to go. Ross showed a deep gaze that seemed to hold everything. Has it been considered so soon? Captain is reassuring. Laffitte smiled which just shows a little respect. Come on, lets get out of here. Ross did not go to see Crocodiles body and walked away and Laffitte quickly followed. After destroying one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, plus the previous events, in Rosss vision, he will encounter the following situations: one is the assassination by CP from the governments intelligence agency and the other is in the form of encirclement and suppression by at least two Vice-Admirals from Marine Headquarter. Finally and worst of all, A Marine Admiral. Even if he has 180 Talent Proficiency Points and 4 Free Talent Points and his strength can be greatly improved. It is impossible for him to cross the huge power gap between Marine Admiral and escape once he encounters him. In the first case. The whole crew must be on high alert at all times. No matter which CP unit is, their strength will not be weak. If they ambush and assassinate their crew, the situation will be very dangerous. He may be able to deal with it but Robins situation will become very dangerous unless she stays with him all the time. As for the second case Its not going to be good either. With this harvest, Rosss strength will surely surpass those of Dobermans Headquarters Vice-Admiral. But when two Vice-Admiral and even three Vice-Admiral join forces, strength is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Laffitte and Robin are not strong enough to fight against Headquarters Vice-Admiral. Although relying on Talent System all the way to come here, all the enemies encountered were defeated by him, but Ross never regarded himself as Strawhat Luffy. Luffy could overcome any dangerous situation, including Kizarus attack, Aokijis attack and he survived Garps crazy training and came out even stronger. For Ross. Despite the smooth journey so far, as long as he encounters a real dangerous situation, maybe he will never be saved because no one will save him, He can only depend upon himself. So from the beginning to the present, before every action, he tried to take everything that would happen into account in advance. The news of Crocodiles defeat at Ghost Hand Rosss hand quickly passed back to the Marine Headquarters and the World Government and was also uncontrolled as the news spread to the entire sea. For a time, countless people moved! Every Seven Warlords of the Sea is a well-known strong man on Grand Line. People may not be able to name Vice-Admirals but a Seven Warlords of the Sea, even the Four Emperors of New World, will pay some attention to them! Many of the top powers judged that Ross would be pursued by the government and Marine crazily when the previous news spread across the sea, he will be silent for a long time or may even die. Unexpectedly. Just over half a month later, Ross reappeared and defeated one of the Supernovas offering a $180 million berries bounty in the first half of Grand Line and a Seven Warlords of the Sea! The rising trend seems to be true as the news said Unstoppable! At the same time. The government and Marine also issued an order urgently and all eyes were gathered at Alcaria. The whole sea was in turmoil and Ross who was in the center of that turmoil was standing alone on the edge of a cliff in Alcaria island, looking at the boundless sea. In the two Battles with Crocodile and Iron Wall Ravarro, he was not seriously injured. He was only chopped by Crocodile sand blade on his shoulders and the scars were not deep. He was slightly bandaged and Almost had recovered in three days. If he had a ship doctor, he might recover faster. Sii! Ross touched the bandage on his shoulder and gently pulled it off, revealing the dark brown scab inside. He stretched out his hand and the scab slowly fell off, revealing the tender skin inside. It seems that there will still be a little scar left. I should really recruit a doctor for the ship. As one Piece Worlds most decisive and handsome existence in his own view, a scar on his body is something Ross cant tolerate. Putting aside the messy ideas, Ross stretched his arm and felt that there was no problem at all. Then he moved his mind and evoked Talent Systems Interface. FinallyGravity Distortion. Ross took a deep breath and made a decision. He immediately placed 3 Free Talent Points into the second branch of Distortion Fruit, Gravity Distortion. Buzz!! A golden light flashed and the branch of Gravity Distortion was instantly activated, turning from emerald green to golden yellow and at the same time, a warm current instantly rushed out of Ross body. This warmth did not enhance Rosss body, nor did it enhance the power of Distortion Fruit, but it gave Ross a very strange feeling. The world that was originally in front of him had only the sky and the sea, the air and the earth, but at this moment, he seemed to see something different. CHAPTER 91 SUSTAINABILITY Previous ChapterNext Chapter Whoosh! This strange feeling lasted only a few seconds, then completely disappeared, but Rosss perception has become completely different, he can clearly perceive the existence of gravity and can use the power of distortions to directly interfere with it! Rosss mind moved, triggering the power of distortion, turning his bodys direction of gravity from downward distribution to upward and his body immediately flew towards the sky. The first time he used Gravity Distortion, Ross seemed to be somewhat uncomfortable. As soon as he flew into the sky, he made an Armstrong 720-degree spiral motion in the air, just like a headless fly. Bang! Ross dissipated the power of distortion, lifted his foot and cast Gepp (Moonwalk), which barely stabilized his body, but he was still a little dizzy. On the deck of Ghost Shadow Ship, anchored at sea, Robin was looking strangely at Ross in the sky tens of meters away, just in line with Ross, who was holding his body. Hmm Ross was silent for a moment and asked earnestly, Robin, Do you see God? Robin silently regained her gaze and did not pay any attention to her own Captain that has clearly gone mad. When Ross thought that this world did not have some kind of insecticidal and mosquito-repellent liquid, he stopped and did not continue to think in depth, but continued to try Gravity Distribution, his new ability. After a few minutes. Ross is suspended over Ghost Shadow Ship, flying from left to right and from right to left. Robin, who sat on the Ghost Shadow Ship, remained expressionless all the time.If she can, she would like to exert her ability to pull her Captain from the sky, but the consequences of doing so are probably beyond her ability, so she can only think about it. A few minutes later. With the power of Gravity Distortion, Ross has taken full control of the flight capabilities and has begun experimenting with the ability to combine this flight with Gepp (Moonwalk). Gepp (Moonwalk) is a means of walking in the air and it has to bear the limit of gravity at all times, but if there is no gravity, the speed of the Gepp (Moonwalk) will be a lot faster and if the direction of gravity can be changed as desired, In line with the movement direction of Gepp (Moonwalk), the speed can become even faster! Simply relying on Gepp (Moonwalk) will become frustrating if he is to face an airborne battle with Doflamingo or Kizaru and he will be at a great disadvantage, but if he has the ability to fly with Gravity Distortion, the situation will be completely different. Whiz! Whiz! It is difficult to combine gravity with Gepp (Moonwalk) in terms of movement. After all, Ross has just got the Gravity Distortion ability, but Rosss constant practicing has led his aerial walking to become more and more skilled. With Gravity Distribution, Rosss Moonwalk can be said to have become an upgraded version. Even if he didnt invest much proficiency in the Moonwalk, his instantaneous speed in the air would not be much slower than those of Headquarters Vice-Admiral, who are proficient in Marines Rokushiki. HuHu After exercising for about half an hour, Rosss Stamina finally couldnt support it. The Gravity Distortion itself was not very expensive for Stamina, but Gepp (Moonwalk) was a real stamina consumer. Under double consumption, his body still couldnt bear it. Controlling gravity, Ross slowly landed on the Ghost Shadow Ship deck. Robin took the book in one hand and silently picked up the juice on the table with the other hand and put it to her mouth without drinking or putting it down. Ross calmed down and looked contemptuous at Robin. What does this action mean? Being a Pirates Captain, cant he grab his crew members glass of juice? After a short break, Ross jumped to the cliff on the shore again. Instead of rushing to exercise, he called out Talent Systems Interface again. Without hesitation, he put 90 Talent Proficiency Points on Physical Enhancement. Buzz!! The golden light flashed and the Generals talent value changed rapidly. Agility Enhancement: 150 (High-Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 350 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancements Maximum Value is 500 points and today it has reached 350 points, which is very close to Maximum Value. Since Physical Enhancement is a passive percentage-increasing talent, it is not a fixed numerical increase. Therefore, Maximum Value means that Physical Enhancement is at the apex and can no longer continue to improve. On the other hand, it will mean that Ross passive talent bonus has reached a terrifying level. Maybe his own basic physical fitness just needs to be exercised to the level of Headquarters Vice-Admiral. With the great improvement of Physical Enhancement Maximum Value, he can directly reach the level close to Garp! The remaining 90 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross put them all in Distortion Fruit. Buzz!! The 90 additional Talent Proficiency Points of Distortion Fruit has made Rosss power of distortion boost from 100 meters to more than 200 meters. This level of power of distortion is far from the power of Whitebeard and Marine Admiral, which can easily shake a large island, but in this sea, it is a level that countless people can hardly reach in their lifetime! Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 390 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki: 15 Armament Haki: 0 Looking at the brand new Battle skill tree, Ross blinked and muttered: If only I could take back the talent point used for Firearms Shooting, I dont know if there will be any chance to take back the talent point in the future. When he first came to this world, he couldnt fight the guns with his strength. The guns were indeed something that must be mastered, but now it has almost no effect, Close-Combat Fighting is the ability that still plays a very important role even now. One is a loss but the combination of two is not a loss. After shaking his head, Rosss mind moved and the Talent System Interface disappeared. He shook his fist and felt the strength in his body, then suddenly lifted his foot and stepped on it. Bang Rumble! He applied Gravity Distribution to the 100-meter-square cliff wall, which instantly showed signs of widespread collapse. The stones broke apart and floated up. Although they had no direct contact with Rosss body during the suspension process, the gravity of Distortion was not restored. Instead, they were still in the state of Distortion and under Rosscontrol. Sure enough, the power will not disappear directly, but will gradually weaken. Rosss eyes flashed as he smiled. Previously, his power of distortion had to be transmitted through the medium of matter. Once there was a break between the substances, his power of distortions would be cut off instantly. Just like holding a knife. If the blade suddenly breaks, his power of distortions will be instantly cut off and can no longer act on the broken part of the blade, unless he touches it again with his body. But now. After the Gravity Distortion is activated, even if the medium of transmission disappears, his power of distortion will not be interrupted by the moment, but will still act on that part of the material! That is to say, even if the blade suddenly breaks, as long as the knife is used by his power of distortion, it is still under his control! Although the power of this partition will slowly diminishing over time, it is enough for Ross. There was an irrepressible excitement on his face, and he raised his hands and slammed them in front of him. Bang Long! The square of rock that was nearly a hundred meters long was completely ruptured and suspended in a place. Under the influence of Rosss ability, it slammed toward the center and turned into a huge meteorite with a radius of tens of meters. Suspended in the air, it looked like a perfect work of art. CHAPTER 92 LEAVING EARLY Previous ChapterNext Chapter Captains power is getting stronger again. Robin on the ship could no longer read the book quietly. She stood up and looked at the huge movement on the cliff and couldnt help but take a deep breath. Breaking off the 100-meter-long cliff and letting the gravel gather in the air, turning it into a huge meteorite, this power is simply ridiculous, It seems that it is no longer the power that Devil Fruit can do as a result of Distortion. As for the handyman who heard the sound on the ship, they have already fallen into a sluggish state. No Robin stared at the huge meteorite and her expression gradually changed. She seemed to see a fissure on the meteorite. As time went on, it continued to increase, and there were vague signs of collapse and fall. If such a big thing falls so close, even if it doesnt hit the hull of Ghost Shadow Ship head-on, the waves will probably overturn Ghost Shadow Ship! Kch! Kch! The signs of meteorite crushing are growing, huge and visible cracks have appeared on its surface and a cold sweat has appeared on Robins forehead. And just as the meteorite was about to collapse, Rosss figure flickered and jumped onto the meteorite and the power of distortion instantly covered the entire meteorite. Bang Rumble! Half of the meteorites crumbled and closed again. Almost there, I can control about it for twenty seconds after the partition Ross watched the giant meteorite beneath him, his eyes reflecting. After cutting off the meteorite, his power of distortion could last for 20 seconds remotely. Twenty seconds is enough. Its not Float-Float Fruit and Gravity Fruit after all. And as Distribution Fruit continues to develop, this time will probably continue to increase. Buzz!! Judging the state of disconnecting and direct contact, Ross no longer spent his stamina in maintaining such a meteorite in the air, he controlled it to fall slowly to the sea below and eventually to the bottom of the cliff bit by bit. Even if it fell bit by bit, it still caused waves upon waves which pushed the Ghost Shadow Ship away with the waves. Captain. Can you please dont do such dangerous things near the ship? With a sigh of relief, Robin showed a smiling face and stared at Ross who was not far away and there was a dangerous atmosphere in the air. Ross subtly avoided Robins question and said, Call back Laffitte. Its time. Were leaving tomorrow. Robin sighed. Okay. Very soon. Robin contacted Laffitte via Den Den Mushi and called Laffitte back from the island. Log Pose only stores one-third of its magnetism. If we leave now, well lose our route, Captain. Laffitte returned to the ship and realized that they were leaving tomorrow and was puzzled. Dont worry about that. The magnetic force is very strong in the place were going to go to. As long as we get close, we will forcibly seize the magnetic force on Log Poss. By then, the three arrows may point to the same island. Ross responded calmly. As a navigator, Laffitte is completely familiar with the navigation of Log Pose and Grand Line, but Rosss words still make him feel a bit strange, but he has no doubt. Since following Ross, all the experiences along the way have proved that Rosss decision is without any mistakes. Same day. Ross is training the newly acquired Gravity Distortion on the shore and is familiar with the soaring physical strength and power of distortion. He has been able to adapt to his powers that day and has been able to master his own strength. At noon the next day, Ghost Shadow Ship pulled up the anchor and lowered the sail. Captain, which direction do we go? Since Log Pose has not yet stored full magnetic force and the purpose of this trip is completely determined by Ross, Laffitte does not know the direction and asks Ross. It doesnt matter, just go in any direction. Ross stood on the deck and when Laffitte and Robin were somewhat obscure, he continued, Just go straight ahead, leave Alcarias field of vision first. Laffitte and Robin looked at each other with a feeling of being unreliable, but the two still did not question Rosss decision, they controlled the Ghost Shadow Ship and left Alcaria. When Alcaria gradually turned into a blurred black shadow on the horizon and finally disappeared from their line of sight, Ross standing on the deck looked up at the sky. So, the place we are going next is Sky island. The moment his voice fell, Ross raised his arm and gently closed his five fingers in front of him. Power of distortion spread rapidly, covering the whole Ghost Shadow Ship and then he turned the direction of gravity. Crash! Nearly forty meters long, Ghost Shadow Ship, under Rosss power, rose slowly from the sea, causing waves to surge. All the people on the ship were stunned.Several handymen looked around in horror. Laffitte was a little shocked. Only Robin showed a sudden look and looked up at the sky. As an archaeologist of OHaras, she is naturally aware of the existence of the Sky island. The Sky island is indeed a good place to take shelter from the limelight, but it is really unexpected to be able to send a whole ship to the sky. After Robin stabilized herself, she smirked. She didnt doubt that Ross had the ability to send Ghost Shadow Ship to the island because Ross never did anything that he was unsure of. Laffitte showed a strange expression. After hearing Robins words, he also smiled. Sky island?It seems that it really exists. Buzz!! When the ship rose to a position of thirty or forty meters from the sea, Rosss hand gently lifted up and the whole ship suddenly accelerated, rising rapidly toward the sky, getting higher and higher. The Sky island is a buffer space that Ross has set a long time ago. As long as the Gravity Distortions ability is activated, he will have the ability to enter the Sky island at any time. Moreover. There is also something on the Sky island that Ross cares about, that isLogia Devil Fruit, Rumble-Rumble Fruit! Today is the Great Age of Pirates in March of the 12th year. During this period, Enel has not yet got Rumble-Rumble Fruit. This fruit has not yet appeared, or it has already appeared, but it has not been found by Enel. As one of Logias strongest Devil Fruits, its power is beyond doubt! By acquiring the power of Rumble-Rumble Fruit, one may not be able to reach the level of a Marine Admiral, but with a little practice, it is enough to occupy a place in Seven Warlords of the Sea! Ross had the idea of this fruit a long time ago. Knowing it was on Sky island and leaving it to Enel was like seeing a pile of money by the roadside and not picking it up. Whether he has a chance or not, he has to take a look. Even if he already has the Distortion Fruit, he can have one of his crew members eat it to create a powerful Battle power. He can also eat a second Devil Fruit with the help of the Talent System, but the requirement of 5 Free Talent Points is too high. CHAPTER 93 SKY ISLAND Previous ChapterNext Chapter A few days later. In the Kingdom of Alcaria, a man on a bicycle came here and scratched his hair after a fruitless search. Ah Ra Ra, It seems that I am a little late. Aokiji left the Headquarters a long time ago. After getting the news, he immediately rushed to Alcaria. He thought that according to Alcarias magnetic storage days, it should be enough to arrive before the Ghost Pirates set sail, but he was still late. Its causing me a headache, Lets forget it, I will treat it as a vacation After shaking his head, Aokiji rode his bicycle away from Alcaria and the way the bicycle rolled was silently frozen into an ice road. A few days later, the fleet of the nearest Marine base in the Kingdom of Alcaria arrived and confiscated the body of Crocodile and reported the situation to the seniors of the Marine Headquarters. Cant you stop it? After getting the news, Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat down at the desk and rubbed his eyebrows. Contact Aokiji, where is he now? Aokijis departure from Marine Headquarters was naturally clear to him. Although Marine Admirals personal move for a 200 million-dollar pirate was a little over the top, Rosss influence was too bad for them. Aokiji was secretive and acting alone. Nobody knows. Just as Sengoku was about to contact Aokiji and ask questions, a Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly sounded, This Den Den Mushi was used by the secret agencies of the World Government. Hello? Im Sengoku. Sengoku frowned and answered the phone. There was a low voice on the other end of the phone. Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the government has given us full responsibility for the Ghost Hand Pirates, if necessary, Marine Battleship may be mobilized, I hope you Marine will cooperate fully. I see. Sengoku, after a little silence, responded by hanging up Den Den Mushi. He wasnt surprised that the government took over the matter of the Ghost Hand Pirates directly. Compared with Marine, todays top government officials are much more intense at killing Ross. And Rosss affair is already boiling. Its really not suitable to make a big move. Aokiji will travel alone. Thats why, its a good choice for the CP to deal with it secretly, in Sengokus view it is indeed a suitable choice. The time went slightly forward, six kilometers above the sea. The speed of the Ghost Shadow Ship is fixed to a certain extent, rising rapidly toward the sky, the sea below has become somewhat out of reach and there are plenty of clouds around it. After crossing the limit of six kilometers, looking up, they can almost see a vast white cloud hanging in the sky as if carrying another world. Buzz!! The rapidly rising Ghost Shadow Ship began to slow down. As the cloud level got closer and closer, Ross jumped to the top of the mast, raised his hand and reached out into the clouds. The Power of distortion under Rosss control was fired up against the sea cloud. In a crash, the Sea Cloud swung to both sides and was torn apart by Ross as he created a huge crack. Ghost Shadow Ship abruptly accelerated, crossing the sea clouds under Rosss open road and continuing to ascend upwards. A lot of fish and large monsters could be seen in the sea clouds. These monsters found the existence of Ghost Shadow Ship, but before they could come, Ghost Shadow Ship rushed to a higher place. Crash! Finally, at the top of the cloud, the whole sea cloud burst into a hole, and Ghost Shadow Ship flew up from it, hovered in mid-air, and slowly landed on the cloud. This cloud is like a sea of ??water, holding up the Ghost Shadow Ship. This is Sky island. Laffitte came to the side of the ship and looked down at the clouds holding the hull. He smiled and said, Its amazing that clouds can carry a ship. Ross nodded, the existence of the Sky island is very difficult for him to understand, but different worlds have different rules. This world is such a magical place that there is a Sky island. After looking at the surrounding environment, he asked Laffitte: Look at the Log Pose, is there any change? There is a change, the three arrows all point in one direction Laffitte looked at the High-Level Log Pose worn on his wrist and was surprised. The three arrows of the High-Level Log Pose usually point to the three islands. If it points in one direction, it means that the magnetic force in that direction is very strong. After carefully observing the changed Log Pose, Laffitte found that the direction indicated by the arrow was still oblique and upward and could not help but look in that direction. We need to go up?. Yes, this is the White Sea, We will reach the Sky island by going up for another three kilometers, first adapt to the environment here then we will go up. Ross nodded and said. This is the Sky island ten years ago from Luffys time. Any situation may exist. Yonk (Four Emperors) Hundred Beast Kaido also played free fall over the island, so in order to be safe, he first adapted to the thin air environment of the Sky Island. Half a day later. Gradually adapting to the Sky island environment, the impact on power became very small, Ross once again launched his ability, wrapping the Ghost Shadow Ship and rushed from the white sea and towards the Sky Island. Enel had the power of Rumble-Rumble Fruit before coming to the Angel Island, which means that Rumble-Rumble Fruit is not on the angel island, but in the Birka island that he will destroy in four years. Ross had a few memories flashing through his mind. After sailing in the direction indicated by the Log Pose, the island that they arrived is actually the Angel island in the original series. If they fall vertically from here, they will arrive at Jaya island and enter another route of Grand Line, which is the route taken by Luffy. However, Rosss purpose is not to cross the route, but to go to another Sky island Birka, so after arriving at the Angel Island, the only thing he needs to do is to find a map of the Sky island. The angel island is currently ruled by Gan fall and the arrival of Ross and others has not caused too much hostility to the Sky islands because occasionally there will be blue sea people arriving at the Sky island through several routes. There are things you care about herePoneglyph stone. Walking along the cloudy Bank of the angel island, Ross enjoyed the surroundings and spoke to Robin who was following him. The mission to get the map was handed over to Laffitte and on his side, he was responsible for touring No, taking Robin to find the Poneglyph stone that she cares about. Robin looked at Ross strangely, not in disbelief of what Ross had said, but in some ways wondering why Ross had come all the way here and how he knew that there was a Poneglyph stone tablet. Has Captain been here before? No, but nothing in this World can escape my eyes. The same is true for the Sky island. Ross said. Robin was used to her Captains style. She turned her head to smile and said, So, Captain knows what happened in the Void Century eight hundred years ago? Rosss face remained unchanged, and he said calmly, Truth needs to be pursued by yourself to make sense. If I told you now, you would lose your motivation to move forward. That makes sense. Robin covered her mouth and chuckled. Lets go. Ross turned to Robin and put his hand on her shoulder. Distortion Fruits ability was activated. They instantly broke away from the bondage of gravity and flew toward the sky. CHAPTER 94 ANCIENT WEAPONS Previous ChapterNext Chapter The feeling of being wrapped up by inexplicable power was strange. Robin couldnt hold her body for a moment and she almost turned over her head and feet, but she was still controlled by Ross. Is it on top? Robin did not resist and she let Ross take her upward while looking up at the sky while looking up to the sky, she saw the sky above has a deeper layer of clouds, which goes on upwards, seemingly endless. Ross put his hand on Robins shoulder and looked up at the clouds. Four hundred years ago, a part of an island on Grand Line was taken to the sky by the Knock Up Stream. It was called the ancient city of Shandora. This island was later called Holy Land Skypiea by the Sky islanders. Between the words, Ross has taken Robin out of Angel Island and flew to Holy Land Skypiea, which was not far from the angel island. Flying in midair, they can clearly see that Skypiea is standing on a huge vine, extending all the way to an unknown height, into the clouds above the sky. Captains understanding of history is really beyond my expectations. Robin looked at the huge vine, but there was something different in her dark eyes, which was obviously historical knowledge. Ross would know so much about it that she wondered if Ross had ever lived here. The Sky island people who live here have wings on their backs and Ross obviously dont have them and the people here will not tear out their wings. Ross smiled: I know more than you think. If you want to know more, we can do more in-depth understanding. ??? Robin always thought Rosss words were a little strange, but she couldnt say them. Very soon. The two flew over the sky of Holy Land Skypiea and Ross took Robin and flew straight up, following the huge vines, all the way up to the clouds and finally stopped on an island cloud. This Island cloud is not big, only tens of meters square and in its center stands a golden bell, which has remained here for 400 years. Looking at the golden bell, Robin involuntarily walked towards it. The golden bell, full of the ancient and brilliant flavor of historical civilization, has a fatal attraction for her. Poneglyph Near the golden bell, Robin saw the Panglyph branded on the base, or the whole golden bell, built with a stone tablet of Poneglyph. Robins hand gently stroked the words on the stone tablet, suppressing the emotions in her heart, silently reading the text on it and her eyes gradually became illusory. Ross came over and said, Can you read it? Robins eyes flashed, she paused for a second and whispered: This is Log the ancient weapon with the name of God, the seat of Sea King When he heard Robins words, Ross smiled a little and took over her words. Guide to the junction of Red Line and Grand Line, the island of the mermaid deep in the sea. Ugh? Robin looked at Ross with astonishment, Ross explanation behind the Poneglyph stone tablet was almost the same or almost the same in translation. If Ross had known so many hidden histories before and could explain them, it would be incredible for him to be able to read Poneglyph. In this world, only OHaras scholars can understand Poneglyph and she should be the only survivor of OHaras. Poneglyph, its not that hard to read. Ross calmly looked at the Poneglyph stone. The Sky island Pogeglyph stone, which logs the location of the ancient weapon Sea King Poseidon, clearly exists in Rosss memory. Before he asked Robin if she could interpret it, he just wanted to see if she would tell him the message of the ancient weapon Sea King logged here. However, although Ross knows the existence of Sea King Poseidon and that Plutons location is hidden on the Poneglyph stone tablet in Alabaster, he does not intend to touch ancient weapons prematurely. In the absence of a certain strength, it is meaningless to acquire ancient weapons. The government can easily take them away by sending a Marine Admiral. At least, the real deterrent of these weapons is only when he has the strength to confront aMarine Admiral. Robin bowed her head and was silent. At this moment, she had countless thoughts in her heart. Never had she experienced such a confusing moment. Does Ross really know the truth about the Void Century? Should she ask Ross? But if she really gets the answer, as Ross said, her life goal will completely disappear and then she wouldnt know what to do. Look here. Ross went to the base of the Golden Bell and pointed at another string of words inscribed there, interrupting Robins thoughts. Robin looked up and looked in the direction of Rosss fingers. Her eyes flashed with a trace of amazement again and her face showed a rare look of shock. I made it here. I will guide this text to the end of the earth Pirate Gol D. Roger! Pirate King Gol D. Roger! Did he come over the Sky island? Why did he write this kind of text? Robin vaguely felt that there was a line in front of her, a line that seemed to be able to connect all the clues together, but it was difficult for her to run through the line from her chaotic thoughts. In addition to OHaras scholars, there are others who can interpret Poneglyph. All the clues and secrets of Void Century have been learned by Roger and he put them on Raftel. Ross calmly said. Robin turned her head and looked at Ross. There was an incredible look in the pair of black eyes. There were clues and guidelines. Could it be that Ross went to Raftel? Ross slightly smiled and didnt talk anymore. Some people can be easily conquered by virtue of strength, while others, such as Laffitte, have a clear mind in addition to their strength. As for Robin, in the case of these two conditions, there is a third one, that is, to surpass her in knowledge. After all, Ross did not want a partnership like with the Straw Hats, but a relationship between Captain and the crew. Lets go. The depths of the island below are deep and there are ruins from hundreds of years ago. Ross didnt let Robins brains fill up for too long and he interrupted her thoughts and walked to the edge of the clouds, looking down at Holy Land Skypiea. After a little silence, Robin went to Ross and hesitated again and again. But, she did not ask her questions. She felt that Ross was right and she should personally pursue the truth. Chi Chi! Ross did not grab Robins shoulder this time. Instead, with a movement of his mind, the soft Island clouds on his feet were torn apart and he and Robin flew down. Robin was silent and thought of Rosss process of bringing her up before. She asked with a blank expression: Why didnt you use this method before? Ross responded with an unchanged look: The newly developed capabilities are not too skilled. CHAPTER 95 A GOD Previous ChapterNext Chapter Skypiea. Bang sounds and fierce clashes of knives and soldiers are constantly heard on the island, which is half-way above the current. Some people are fighting on this land. Four hundred years ago, Skypiea was washed over to the Sky island. The Sky islanders occupied Skypiea as a Holy Land and drove out all the remaining native Shandians on Skypiea. Since then, the war between the Sky Islanders and Shandians has lasted for four hundred years. Bang! The Angel islands current ruler,GodGan Fall, holds a long gun in his hand. A bullet flies out towards an attacking enemy and he shouts towards the many Shandians who are attacking. Skypiea is the Holy Land that God has given us and I will never allow anyone to attempt to refer to its existence Bang! The leader of the Shandians was a slightly younger warrior, Wiper, who carried a Burn Bazooka that used Breath Dials and flew towards a Sky Islander and shoots at him before saying: Those who have taken away our homeland are saying that God has given it to them? Thats ridiculous. Skypiea belongs to us! Many of the Sky Islanders heard Wipers words and shouted at him. That arrogant! Dares to desecrate Holy Land, go to hell! A large number of god guards swarmed up and fought together against Wiper and others. The number of Sky islanders was significantly higher than that of Wiper and Shandians. There was also a huge gap between their equipment configuration and military quality, but Wiper and other Shandians personal strength is extremely fierce and they have been at a stalemate with the Sky islanders. In the midst of their scuffle, two figures emerged from the depths of the jungle. War Robin watched the fight between the Sky island army and the Sandian people. Although she had struggled for years in the Underground world and had seen countless fights and war results, it was undeniable that deep in her heart, she still yearned for peace. Wars tend to drown out a lot of history, but the wars between the Sky Islanders and the Sandians started four hundred years ago and continue to this day. Ross calmly stood there with his hands on his back and looking at the battlefield in the distance. After watching it for a few seconds, Ross turned and walked toward the downhill path on one side. This is the upper part of Skypiea. The ruins below have been hidden for hundreds of years. No one has found them. Lets go down. Um. Robin looked back at the war in the distance. However. Before she could follow Ross for a few steps, a sharp arrow shot suddenly from a distance and towards her body with great precision. Robins face changed slightly. The arrow came so suddenly which made it impossible for her to escape. But just as the arrow was about to hit her body, a hand approached her, grasped the middle of the arrow and stopped it. Looking at the slightly trembling arrow in his hand, Ross shook his head. One thing he ignored was that the Sky island people could use Observation Haki. Observation Haki is also known as the Mantra in the Sky island. People in Sky island are really unusual in their ability to see and hear. Some people are even born with Mantra, that is Observation Haki. It would be strange not to be found at such a close distance. Whos over there? Is it the reinforcement of sinners? Dont hide! An-Sky islander guard with a bow and arrows looks towards the bushes and stared at the position where Ross and Robin were and squinted sharply. Ross shook his head when he heard a cold cry from the other side of the battlefield. He had no intention to meddle between the Sandians and the Sky islanders, but the other side almost hurt Robin with an arrow. His eyes flashed with indifference as he went out in the open. Ill teach them some etiquette. You stay here and Dont move around. ? Robins eyes flashed with doubts and she breathed. The arrow just came suddenly. If Ross wasnt there, she would probably be injured. Observation Haki is something that she should master as soon as possible. In the rustle of bushes, Rosss figure emerged, holding an arrow in his hand as he heads towards the battlefield, he asked calmly: Who shot the arrow. In the battle between the Sky Islanders and Shandians, Rosss appearance is extremely conspicuous, because whether they are Sky islanders or Shandians, there are white wings behind them, but Ross has nothing behind him and his image is quite different from that of everybody on the scene. Looking at Ross, someone frowned and thought of something. Bluesea people? Without wings and feathers, this dress is also strange. It is not uncommon for blue sea people to appear over the island. Many people quickly identified Ross. Holding the bow and arrow was the Vice Captain of the Sky Island White Beret army. After a little amazement, he quickly responded with a sharp look in his eyes. Did the blue sea people sneak into the Holy Land? It is strictly forbidden to enter the Holy Land Skypiea without permission, it is a felony of Grade Three! The Sandians looked coldly from a distance. A clergyman, second only to Gan Fall, looked at the situation from a distance and ordered the few soldiers next to him: Kill Him. Whiz! As he ordered, various arrows and a number of spears cut through the void and flew toward Rosss body and blocking his escape routes. Faced with this spear with strong wind, Ross did not mean to escape at all. He flexed his finger and flicked it lightly. The spear began to Distortion from the tip of the spear. The rest of the spears were all scratched against Rosss body and all were lost. It seems that I dont have to ask. Ross calmly looked at the Vice Captain of the White Beret Army and walked toward him, ignoring the rest of the chaos in the battlefield. Many Sky Islanders and Shandians, seeing Ross destroying the spears with a weird force were surprised, As they watched Ross coming towards them, a few people nearby hesitated and rushed up with their own weapons. Crash! However, before they could reach him, the ground under the feet suddenly rolled up like a mire and instantly surged up, wrapping them all in one, revealing only their heads. Rosss footsteps didnt stop at all. He walked forward step by step. The speed and the distance has taken with each step was almost identical. He looked calmly through the field and saw the shocked Sky Islanders and Shandians nearby. Generations pass and generations come again, but the earth lasts forever. Like the fish in the water, they cant live without water. No matter if they are Sky islanders or people from the blue sea, they cant live without the earth and soil Bang! Bang! Bang! As Rosss footsteps progressed, the earth of 100 meters seems to be turned into seawater and it surged crazily, embedding the Shandians and the Sky Islander in it. You The faces of Gan Fall and several priests changed dramatically and even Wiper and others looked at this scene with a somewhat shocked and incredible look. As Ross came step by step, the whole earth seemed to obey him and it had paved a path for him and everyone was bound and wrapped up by the surging earth and rocks. Holy LandSkypiea? All the land in this world is created by the gods. I gave it to you four hundred years ago, but you have forgotten prayer and piety. Ross went on, raising his hand to the lightly floating emptiness of the priests and Gan Fall, who struggled in the surging soil. Crash! The whole earth suddenly collapsed and rolled up like a wave and wrapped everyone in it. Distortion circled and turned into a mountain of about 100 meters wide. Everyone was wrapped in rocks and mud and it was difficult to get out of it even though they struggled. At this moment, everyones eyes to Ross changed, showing horror and fear and some of the Sky island people were shocked, their body trembled and they kneeled down. God? No, impossible! There is no god in this world!In the four hundred years of war, God never appeared Burning guns! Wiper gritted his teeth and roared as he fired at Ross with the cannon on his shoulder. The blue-and-white flame burst out from it and shot towards Ross. Ross had no intention of avoiding it and took no visible actions as the ground suddenly surged with countless stones and mud, swallowing the cannon in an instant. Humanitys greed led to war, which lasted for four hundred years. God was never your guardian, just as mortals would not care about the war between ants, why would a God care for a fight between you. It all started with a snap of the finger four hundred years ago. Ross stood there calmly, raised his left hand and gently snapped a finger. Crack! In an instant, the earth screamed and swelled and countless gravel mud wrapped around Wiper flew into the air, turning into a huge meteorite, flying toward the sky. With the passage of time, fine cracks gradually appeared on the rising meteorite and eventually, in front of countless people, it suddenly collapsed. The figure of the Wiper which was wrapped in countless rubble fell down, Wiper had lost his consciousness for a long time. This is a punishment for your stupidity. Rosss gaze swept across the audience and he immediately turned around, no longer looking at the rear and entered the depths of the jungle and disappeared. Great Age of Pirates, 12th of April. The god of the earth descends on Holy Land Skypiea and punished the greed of the mortals. The leader of the angels Gan Fall and the Shandia chiefs suddenly wake up, repenting and praying for their faults and sign the peace treaty together. The war, which lasted for four hundred years, came to an end. CHAPTER 96 7 MONTHS Previous ChapterNext Chapter After Robin explored the ruins of the ancient city of Shandora in detail, Laffitte also found the map of the Sky island and returned to the ship. The Sky islands are concentrated in the sky above the Grand Line. Although the number is not as high as that of the dense islands on the Grand Line, there are quite a few. On the maps Laffitte has just found, there are seven or eight islands. Birka Island is here. After carefully scrutinizing a few maps, Ross took out one of them and clicked on an island that was drawn at the edge. He said: The navigation of the Sky island is no different from the normal sea. Understood, Captain. Laffitte responded with his cane in his hand and did not ask Ross what purpose he was going to Birka. Rosss image in his eyes has been mysterious since he stepped on the island. What is Rosss purpose in going to Birka, it may involve the secret of his own Captain. Ross will say what he wants to say and he wont tell what he wants to hide so there is no point in asking. With the map, Ross and others marched toward Birka. In the meantime, both the Marine and the government on the Grand Line were going crazy looking for the trail of the Ghost Hand Pirates, but the Ghost Hand Pirates disappeared after leaving Alcaria and could not be found. Some people suspect that Ross and others have encountered a storm and were destroyed at sea, but this idea was too exaggerated. With the strength of the Ghost Hand Pirates, how can a storm destroy them? Marines frantic search with the government did not last long. Over time, it began to slow down gradually. There were still more things to deal with on the sea. It was impossible to put a lot of intelligence resources on the search for Ghost Hand Pirates for a long time. There is no intelligence at all They completely disappeared after leaving Alcaria? In this case, the mission cant be completed. A black curly-haired man with a pigeon on his shoulder stood on a World Government intelligence vessel loitering in the sea near Alcaria, he lowered the Den Den Mushi and frowned at the sea. A month later, Ghost Shadow Ship arrived at Birka. In just one day, Ross defeated Birkas local tribe Leader and all the fighters and occupied Birka and told Robin and Laffitte to secretly search for a Devil Fruit that might be hidden in a corner of the island. Two months later, Rumble-Rumble Fruit did not appear and Enel was found by Ross, but he had not eaten Rumble-Rumble Fruit and Ross was completely uninterested in him. Three months later, Rumble-Rumble Fruit still couldnt be found. With the passage of time, the news of the Ghost Hand Pirates on Grand Line was completely silent and many people who occasionally thought of the Ghost Hand Pirates were shaking their heads in secret. Ghost Hand Pirates They havent appeared for a long time, they were probably destroyed by the Government and the Marine. A Pirate Hunter sat in the tavern and shook his head. Who knows? they shouldnt have. The reward order hasnt been revoked yet. Ross is a huge spray in the surging sea, but the spray does not continue to blossom but is gradually covered by the rolling waves. Red Hair Shanks lost an arm! The strongest swordsman in the Sipka Kingdom has challenged Hawkeye! Conflict appeared between the Beast Pirates and the BIGMOM Pirates! The emergence of such big news is driving the times forward and the Ghost Hand Pirates are gradually forgotten with the passage of time. Seven months later, the Sky island Birka. Here the white clouds float and all the buildings are made of clouds. Looking like the heavenly kingdom, Battles voice comes from a huge open garden in the middle of the island. Whiz! Whiz! Rosss figure flickered back and forth, patted or pressed or pushed and his palm kept falling towards Robin. Robin had her eyes closed and she was constantly catching Rosss movements, or bending her head sideways and pushing Ross away with the palm of her hand. Ross speeded up a bit. Robins forehead was covered with sweat, but she could still keep away and occasionally get a little scratched. Observation Haki, you have almost mastered it. Ross finally turned away from her. She stopped moving, took back her hand and nodded lightly at him. In the past seven months, in addition to studying the history of Birka and the Sky island, Robin has been practicing Observation Haki, the Sky islands Observation Haki or Mantras practice routes is more clear and easy to learn than Rosss method. Robins mind is extremely sharp and she has a heart that can remain calm in most cases. She quickly learned about Observation Hakis practicing. Robin opened her eyes and said: With Captains constant tests, its natural to learn faster. She deliberately bit the test of the word. Rosss face remained unchanged and he said with a frank face: Then you have to thank me. Thank you very much for your guidance Captain. Robins mouth raised with a dangerous smile as she stared at Ross. Seven months Ross looked up at the sky and murmured in a low voice. He had stayed in the Sky island for seven months. For him, it was a little longer than expected. He had planned to stay for three to five months before leaving, but Rumble-Rumble Fruit wasnt found and the time was constantly prolonged. Its because he took various things for Granted. Even if he had guessed the location of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in his memory, it is not so easy to get it. Over the past seven months, he has been practicing all the time. He has mastered the ability of Gravity Distribution and has improved his physical fitness a lot. However. This practicing speed is obviously far less effective than galloping on the Grand Line, killing all the pirates and defeating Marines. Its time to leave. Ross breathed softly, without ant fights for seven months and only practicing repeatedly has become somewhat intolerable for him. He is bored now. Fortunately, Robin was here and he could test her for Observation Haki and the scenery on the Sky island was also good. Blackbeard has been attached to Whitebeard Pirates for more than a decade to acquire the Yami Yami fruit, but Ross will not do so because Rumble-Rumble Fruit is not so valuable to him. Moreover. If Rumble-Rumble Fruit appears years later and falls into the hands of a Sky islander and is eaten directly, it will be a waste of time. For him who has the Distortion Fruit and the Talent System, Rumble-Rumble Fruit is not a must-have, not to mention the ability of Gravity Distortion, he can come back to the island at any time, without having to bind himself here. And last but not least, he didnt want to make the name of the Ghost Hand Pirates disappear in the ears of those high-level Marines for too long. At Rosss side. When Robin heard that Ross was ready to leave after seven months, she couldnt help but blink. Living in the Sky island is much gentler than the sea. They dont have to think about the pursuit of Marine. She doesnt have to think about collecting intelligence. But staying here is impossible if she wants to collect the Poneglyph stone and know the truth of the Void Century. It is indeed time to leave. CHAPTER 97 RETURNING Previous ChapterNext Chapter So, are we leaving? Laffitte still looks as he did seven months ago and nothing changed. After being recalled by Ross, he pinched the edge of his hat and asked with a smile. For him, the seven months of the Sky island can be said to be very boring and the Devil Fruit that Ross asked him to search was not found by him. Naturally. The main purpose of the Sky island was to avoid the extremely dangerous situation that the Government and Marine will create, so although Laffitte was bored he understood the truth. Seven months without navigation, Your level of navigation should not have declined, right? Ross smiled at Laffitte. Laffittes strength has also improved slightly over the past seven months. Even though he is still not an opponent of Headquarters Vice-Admiral, He can handle a Branch Vice-Admiral for a while. As for Robin, shes a little stronger now than she would have been in the original series when she set foot on New World. Even if shes not as good as Laffitte, shes still capable of fighting a Branch Rear Admiral. Oh Captain will see it soon. Laffitte opened his arms slightly with his cane, revealing a smile. Give an order to the Birka tribe to continue to search for the Devil Fruit and as soon as they find it, they have to hand it to the chieftain for safekeeping. Ross gave a command. The people of Birka Island has been given a wave of deep hypnosis and brainwashing by him and Laffitte, especially the chieftain and many priests, who have been deeply hypnotized and brainwashed by Laffitte. Even if Rumble-Rumble Fruit appears, as long as it falls into the hands of these priests and chiefs, they will immediately hide it and wait for his return. All right. Laffitte made an aristocratic etiquette and turned to go outside. Ross thought about it again and after confirming that there was nothing missing, he walked with Robin toward the edge of the island and soon came to the dock and boarded the Ghost Shadow Ship. There were a few sailors on the board. Ross picked three Sky islanders in Birka, one man and two women. The man was strong, second only to the chiefs and priests of Birka. One of the two women was a skilled chef. The other is a seventeen-year-old priests servant candidates. Like a spirit, Ross feels that serving the priest is too wasteful and changed her destiny. Although Robin is very capable, its good to have someone share her burdens. Today, Rosss authority is unshakable on board, followed by Laffitte and Robin, both of whom belong to the ships main crew, while the rest are in the same position. Very soon. Laffitte returned the Ghost Shadow Ship after issuing Rosss command. Next stop, North Blue. After Laffitte returned, Ross calmly stated: It is time to have a ship doctor on board. For a long time, Ross had been considering the candidate for the ship doctor, wandering between the future poisonous DOC Q of Black Beard Pirates and Surgeon of Death Trafalgar Law. Since Law was too young, Ross has been searching for the intelligence on Doc Q, but he never found anything on him. He finally decided to change his choice and went to North Blue to find Trafalgar Law. Law is seven years older than Luffy. This year he should be around fifteen years old. Its the age when hes going to be out of his childhood and cant stand alone. Its the best time for Ross to recruit him. The location is fixed. It seems that Captain has already chosen someone. Laffitte showed a strange smile on his face. If there is a ship doctor on board, there is no need to worry about meeting a strong enemy, being severely injured and unable to cure the eventual death and the minor injuries and minor illnesses during the voyage on weekdays are also guaranteed. More importantly, Rosss vision is very high and the person who can be chosen by Ross may also be a reassuring presence in terms of strength. Lets go. After Ross nodded, Ghost Shadow Ship trembled and the sea cloud below swayed silently to the sides and there was a huge crack that was hundreds of meters long across the cloud sea. The Ghost Shadow Ship suddenly fell into the crack and eventually disappeared. A few days later. On a ship sailing on the sea and flying the flag of the World Government, a man in a top hat and a parrot standing on his shoulder was connecting Den Den Mushi to the other side. He is the World Government subordinates, known as the strongest CP9s member in 800 years, Rob Lucci. More than half a year ago, the mission of the World Government concerning the secret assassination and execution of Ghost Hand Ross and the secret arrest of Devil Child Nico Robin was given to him. Seven months they finally appeared, but how can they appear in North Blue Lucci listened to the intelligence reported by Den Den Mushi on the other side and frowned. Did the Goddamm Ghost Hand Pirates finally appeared?! Standing next to him, Spandam listened to the conversation between Lucci and Den Den Mushi at the other end, with a hint of irritation in his eyes. The government-supplied mission could not be completed directly because the Ghost Hand Pirates disappears, but if they failed to succeed, it will be hung on their heads no matter what the circumstances were. As the current chief of CP9, he has been delayed by a mission for more than half a year and can not get half the credit. He is very angry with the Ghost Hand Pirates. In the past, with the efficiency of Lucci and others, a lot of credits was earned, which is why his father specifically mobilized his authority and assigned him to CP9 to serve as Chief. As long as he stays in the CP9 for eight or ten years, it would be a natural thing to rise to the top of the government and then he would be able to overlook the whole ocean from the top. Lucci hates Spandam more than the pirates he defeated. He believes in the dark justice and sees weakness as sin and Spandams Battle power is as powerful as a soldier with brass in his hand. But as chief, he was trained to obey orders when he was young, and he could only press down his hatred of Spandam. He hung up the Den Den Mushi, turned to Spandam and said, Ghost Hand Pirates are in North Blue. I think we should go to North Blue now. What do you think? Spandam hesitated for a moment and finally gritted his teeth and nodded. Although he didnt want to run that far, The World Governments mission which demands speedy completion has been delayed for half a year. Now the Ghost Hand Pirates has appeared. If the government knows hes doing nothing on this side, its possible that condemnation orders will come down. Get the Marine Fleet of the North Blue ready for support No, let the branch base on the Grand Line send Battleship directly to North Blue. Ghost Hand Ross killed the elites of the Marine branch and destroyed one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea Crocodile. Spandam is very clear about his strength and although he trusts the strength of Lucci and others but for those who are afraid of death, the more secure it is the better. Lucci shook his head and was very unhappy with Spandam, but Spandam was the chief of CP9, making the decision that CP9 must abide by unless he betrayed the World Government. Unable to vent his frustration on Spandam, Luccis mood quickly shifted to the target, which was the culprit of their wandering around the sea for more than half a year There are still four months to go. Its the Mission deadline of one year. Dont disappear again for no reason Ghost Hand Pirates. CHAPTER 98 TRAFALGAR LAW Previous ChapterNext Chapter Great Age of Pirates, 13th year in January. North Blue. On a large island, the center is where the aristocrats live with the upper class, while the periphery is where the slums and garbage are stacked and the outer and inner layers are separated by a huge wall. In the corner of the outer slum in the darkness of a dark alley in the Underground world of the country, a boy in a hat is walking forward with a parcel. Trafalgar Law. Paramecia Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit, the second generation member of the Donquixote Family, left the Donquixote Family at the age of thirteen and mingled with North Blue Underground forces, three months before he turned sixteen. Law suddenly stopped and looked forward. Well, It looks like I was discovered? Deep in the roadway ahead, a voice came out with a trace of surprise when he realized that the teenager was still in place. Soon seven or eight shadows appeared deep in the lane and came towards Laws position. At the same time, some people came out from behind the lane and blocked him in the center. Law, who was still young, did not show any panic when he was surrounded by people. Instead, he said calmly, Im sorry, I wont see you today. If there are any injuries, try to put it off till tomorrow. The criminal organization of the countrys slums is extremely chaotic. Dead people are a common occurrence here, not to mention broken arms and legs. Law has been here for more than half a year. After receiving a lot of money for a broken arm, he has been mixed up in the Underground world. However. The people who appear today are not seeking medical treatment. Dr. Rado No, Trafalgar Law, thats your real name. Its amazing to have an excellent medical skill at a young age, but unfortunately, Im not here to seek medical treatment. The first person in the darkness revealed his face. It is a brutal face with a scar on his face. He only has one eye. His one eye is staring at Law, looking at him as a precious treasure. He grinned, but it looked very ferocious and said: Donquixote Family is offering 100 million Berries to the people who will bring you to them. So, in order to avoid suffering, you can only come with us without any resistance. When he heard the word Don Quixote, Laws face dropped slightly. The eaves of his hat covered his face and no one could see his expression which had become extremely cold and indifferent. He took off his large sword from his back which was bigger than him and said: It turned out to be the case, but this 100 million bounty will not be so easy to take. Hu. The one-eyed man did not put Law in his eyes and signaled two of his subordinates near him. The two subordinates grinned and walked toward Law. The bounty of 100 million Berries was so high that they might be able to get hundreds of thousands of Berries afterward. Naturally, they were a little excited. However. Just as they came towards Law, Law put his hand out and opened his fingers, a translucent cover appeared from his palm which magnified. ROOM! Shambles! Sneer! Almost in an instant, Laws body suddenly exchanged position with one of the people present. The demon knife in his hand was crying ruthlessly and in a moment he cut several people around him into pieces. Strangely those who were cut did not bleed, and they also screamed in horror as they watched themselves being separated from their bodies. Dead, I am dead! My body has been cut off what happened In the screams, some people found that they still seemed to be conscious, but they could not control the body that was cut. The panic slightly subsided, but it was replaced by horror. No wonder a little devil like you can make the Donquixote Family put a 100 million Berries bounty on you! Devil Fruit Looking at his subordinates, in an instant, the man with one eye was shocked, his pupils narrowed slightly and his voice was low. Its no wonder that the Donquixote Family will put a bounty of 100 million berries. It turns out to be Devil Fruit user, but even if he is a capable person, he is still a child! He snorted and pulled out a three-edged weird weapon from somewhere. He suddenly rushed toward Law. The weapon in his hand stabbed Law in the shoulder. He intends to let Law lose his ability to act first. After all, the Donquixote Family wants him alive and not dead. His dead body will get them less than 100 million Berries. However. Laws eyes turned indifferently in the face of his stab and his sword swept across him in a flash. In silence, his upper body and lower body were separated from the center and he fell heavily on the street floor. Sneer! Sneer! Law did not wait for the rest of the people to react and he flashed several times in the field at a very fast speed and the remaining people were all unloaded and cut into pieces of broken limbs and scattered. After defeating more than ten people present, Law stopped and his forehead overflowed with a trace of perspiration. For him who is less than sixteen years old, it is obviously not easy to display the abilities of Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit for a long time. I hope you can hold off until the doctor appears. Law indifferently glanced at the pile of broken limbs and the frightened head on the ground. The sword in his hands cut the walls on both sides of the street and cut the base of a building next to it, he put the sword back to its sheath, turned around and walked away calmly. Bang Long! Behind him, a building collapsed and all kinds of panic screams ceased. Law did not look back. Before being surrounded by people who had been rushed by the sound, he left the street quietly and entered another dark lane. And just as he was about to cross the dark lane, a strange voice suddenly came from behind him, almost close to his body position. Whoop Youve been found. !!! Almost instantly a creepy feeling eroded Laws body, making his back cold and bristling with sweat. His pupils violently contracted and he rushed forward without hesitation. He rolled several times in succession and flew ten meters away. Then he turned his head and looked back. There. Just a little behind where he had stood before, a strange white man, wearing a ceremonial hat and leaning on a red stick was smiling at him. Who are you. Law showed an unprecedented vigilance. He looked at Laffitte like an enemy. One hand is pressed on the handle of his sword and pulling it out silently. How on earth did this man appear without him noticing, He also appeared at such a close distance to him which means that if the strange man wanted to kill him, he had no resistance! It doesnt matter who I am. The important thing is My Captain wants to see you. Laffitte shrugged and his face still showed a weird smile. CHAPTER 99 CHIPS Previous ChapterNext Chapter After staring at Laffitte for a few seconds, Law said coldly, What if I dont go? Laffitte casually spread his hand and raised his mouth slightly. If you dont go, it will make me very embarrassed, because this is the mission Captain gave me. For Rosss fancy doctor candidate, he is a young man. Laffitte has some doubts in his mind, but if he is a Paramecia Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit user, then there is no problem. Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit. Even if he doesnt understand the power of this fruit, just by hearing the name of this fruit, he knows the fruit is related to medical practice. Seeing that Law was unmoved and still maintained a state of great vigilance. Laffitte smiled and leaned forward slightly. He said, Dont be so vigilant. Looking at you, you should be able to judge the strength gap between you and me? And You just dealt with a group of people and you seem to have consumed a lot of your stamina. Laffitte described it in a slightly weird tone. When that sentence fell, Laws expression became a little gloomy. When he was there, he used the ability of Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit but he did not find Laffitte hiding in the dark. Even Laffitte came here all the way, he did not find him. What do you want? After a few seconds of silence, Law spoke in silence. Even if he knew that he was mostly not Laffittes opponent, he could not go directly with people of unknown origin. Laffitte looked at Law and laughed and carelessly answered with a word. You. Upon hearing Laffittes answer, Laws face became gloomy again and the hand holding the sword became tighter and he was ready to fight. But Laffitte stood there and gave him a feeling of very strong oppression. The way that he had just appeared behind him was silent. It still makes his heart cold and the sword in his hand is screaming for a fight but he did not dare to rush forward. Dont show such great hostility. We are not in the same company with those people just now. We dont care about the 100 million bounty on your head. Laffitte saw that Law didnt intend to follow him. He could not help but shake his head and smiled lightly: Strictly speaking, we just want to make a deal with you. What deal. Seeing that the other party finally showed a little sincerity in conversation, rather than pure teasing, Law finally relaxed a little and asked quietly. Laffitte repeats Rosss words to him in no uncertain terms: We can kill Doflamingo for you and the price you have to pay is to be part of us. !!! Laws pupils contracted violently and his breathing became unstable. There is too much information revealed in this sentence. He never said that he would kill Doflamingo. How does the other person know that he wants to kill Doflamingo? And knowing that, that is to say, the other party knows all about his past, how do they know and what is their connection with Doflamingo? There are countless questions in his heart. One minute two minutes As time went by, there was silence in the dark lane. No one knows how long it took but Law finally spoke. He didnt ask any questions that came up in his mind, but he only asked a single question: Are you serious about killing Doflamingo? Who is Doflamingo, he is the captain of the Donquixote Family, he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and before becoming a Shichibukai, he had a bounty of 340 million Berries! Since Corazons death, he has been gnawing his teeth and hiding the idea of revenge on Doflamingo deep in the heart. He knows that his strength is too weak. Doflamingo and Donquixote Family are like a mountain, crushing everyone beneath them. It will take him at least Ten Years to kill Doflamingo. After hearing Laws words, Laffitte, who had been standing there calmly, finally smiled again. He knew that the mission had been completed. Instead of answering, he shook his wrist and from somewhere he suddenly pulled out a yellowish sheet of paper, which he lightly fluttered towards Law. It was a bounty poster and more specifically, Rosss bounty poster. No need to say anything, a bounty of 200 million Berries can prove that they indeed have the required power to deal with the Donquixote Family. It turned out to be him. Laws eyes also glimmered at the moment he saw the Bounty Poster. Although he was in the North Blue Underground world, he also has some information on the Grand Line. Seven Warlords of the Sea only has seven people and Doflamingo is one of them. More than half a year ago, One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was killed on the Grand Line. He still remembers clearly that the man who killed Crocodile was the one on the bounty poster. Ghost hand Ross. In order to destroy Doflamingo, he does not care about his life. He is willing to die if he can take Doflamingo to hell with him. The only problem is that his life far less valuable compared to Doflamingo, so this deal seems to be a bit unreal. He doesnt feel that his existence deserves to be comparable with the Donquixote Family. If it wasnt for Laffittes power that brought him great pressure. He would have already started to leave the room quickly, because who knows if the other party has cooperation with the Donquixote Family and intends to sell him to Doflamingo in a certain transaction. The value of the chips(bargaining material) is comparable, so its a transaction. Laws gaze moved away from the bounty poster and fell back to Laffitte and he murmured. I dont have the equivalent chips that I can trade with you. Thats right. Laffitte nodded: Even if you are a Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit user, you cant be compared to a Seven Warlords of the Sea, but thats Captains decision. He seems to think youre worth more than that Shichibukai. And, this is a deal you cant refuse, unless you are willing to destroy your own chips, hehe. At the moment when his voice fell, Laffitte standing there suddenly seemed to melt into the darkness and disappeared. He silently appeared on Laws right side and the red stick in his hand was lightly put on Laws shoulder. Law slowly loosened his grip on the handle of the sword. Not that he did not intend to resist, but that when he responded, Laffitte had already appeared less than a foot to his right and there was no room for resistance, so resistance was meaningless. Moreover. Thats when Law realized that he did have the same chips, the same chips that he had in his hands and could use for trading, derived from Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit. That is to say, when his fruit ability is developed to the extreme, it can give eternal life to others CHAPTER 100 THE CRISIS IS IMMINEN T Previous ChapterNext Chapter Coast. Laffitte walked ahead and Trafalgar Law followed in silence. They arrived at the Ghost Shadow Ship, which was parked on the shore. Laffitte jumped up and landed on the guardrail of Ghost Shadow Ship, turning his head to Law. Do you need help? No need to. Laws five fingers moved and a strange hemispherical cover emerged. It opened a range of more than ten meters. His figure flashed and appeared on the Ghost Shadow Ship out of thin air. Even if he had seen this ability in the past, Laffitte still clicked and this near-spatial mobility capability was not as powerful as it used in Battle. Captain, the person you wanted to meet has been brought. Laffitte turned and looked at Ross standing in front of the deck. Um. Ross responded, turned his head and looked at Trafalgar Law. There was no beating around the bush and he calmly said: Become a ship doctor for the Ghost Hand Pirates and I will level the Donquixote Family flat for you. Law watched as Ross stood there, dressed in a plain shirt and covered in an autumn cloak. He took a deep breath. After all, Ross had killed a Shichibukai. Even standing there, it brought him unprecedented pressure. After a few seconds. Law said: Doflamingo is not so easy to deal with. The power and influence of the Donquixote Family have penetrated both Marine and the government. Ross slightly smiled and said, You are right, they are not so easy to deal with. Even for me, its a long-term plan to get rid of Doflamingo, but anyway, it is easier than you alone having to deal with him. Law was silent for a while and said, When will you act? After returning to the Grand Line. At this point, Law had no choice but to join The Ghost Hand Pirates. Even if he refused, he could not get off the ship. Even if Ross didnt mean to deal with Doflamingo, he had to agree first and plan later. And just as Law took a deep breath and was ready to promise, Ross suddenly heard a purr. What Happened. Ross took Den Den Mushi out of his pocket. When he connected, Robins voice came from the other end of Den Den Mushi, which was very low and had a solemn tone. I met people from the government who are supposed to coming for us. Hearing Robins words, Rosss face slightly changed and his tone became serious. How are you now? Where are you? After tricking them twice, I temporarily escaped, but its not clear how many of them are here. Im now in Bailaw Street, East District. Well, try to keep yourself safe. Ross is not very worried about Robins safety. Her abilities are not so easy to grasp and the government wants to capture her alive. However, he did not want to encounter a scene where his subordinate was held on a gunpoint to make him surrender without a fight. After hanging the Den Den Mushi, Ross walked down the ship and said to Laffitte: Lets go to the East District. Understood. Laffitte nodded and followed Ross. Law looked at Ross and Laffitte, who were walking down the ship without paying any attention to him. He was slightly embarrassed and had a feeling of being forgotten. Just when he wanted to ask, he heard Rosss voice. One of my crew members is in trouble, please excuse me for a moment. You can stay here and wait, or you can leave at any time. Its not in the deal, but I will be responsible for every crew member I recognize and recruit, thats all. The voice echoed, and Law was slightly shocked. He looked ashore to find that Ross and Laffitte had completely disappeared. When he was coerced by Laffitte, his heart had already made some plans. He was not afraid of death, but if he died, no one would avenge Corazon, so he could not die. Even if Ross put forward some harsh conditions, he would eventually escape. However. Rosss attitude toward him was not the same as he imagined. So, stay or leave? Law fell into deep thought. East District Bailaw Street. This is a more prosperous area in the outer slums of the Agosta Kingdom. It can be regarded as an entertainment area. Many criminal organization members, local gangsters, and pirates often appear here. In a dark lane in the block, Robin put the Den Den Mushi in her pocket and calmly used her ability to spy on the outside situation. The members of the governments spy agency are completely different from Marines. In most cases, they are hidden secret operatives. It is extremely difficult to find them out from the endless stream of people and she is in a very disadvantageous situation. And. She had a brief encounter with one person before and recognized Marines Rokushiki, which had been deployed by the other party and immediately looked for an opportunity to dump the person, but the other party had no doubt confirmed her presence in the area. Robin did not act rashly. It was too dangerous to show up in this situation. It was better to stay where she was and wait for Ross and Laffitte to come and join her. One minute two minutes As time passed, Robins nervousness did not ease, but grew stronger and stronger, because, for a few minutes, she could not find any spies from the World Government from the crowd outside. The only advantage to her now is that she is hiding now and can use the ability of Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) to observe the street outside. However. About seven minutes later, something happened that made her feel a little heavy. A young man with a cap and a long nose appeared in the laneway, staring at the dark lane and suddenly said: You are there, Devil ChildNico Robin. The air sank into silence. After a moment of silence in the lane, Robins voice came out of it. How did you find me? Sound, I heard your breathing, You can fight against Blueno and you were able to seriously injured him, your strength is stronger than reported in intelligence. The CP9 messenger Kaku stood at the entrance of the lane and calmly said. Who are you. Seeing that the other party did not immediately start fighting, Robin did not rush but tried to get more intelligence. She also wanted to know who the government sent. Kaku has absolute confidence in his own strength and does not mind revealing information to Robin. In fact, he has reached this level and does not need to hide anymore. As he walks into the lane, Kaku calmly says, World Government intelligence Agency, Cypher Pole officer Kaku. Sure enough, CP intelligence agency Robin did not show any surprise. She saw the other person coming towards her position. Now she was no longer hiding. Her arms were staggered in front of her. Dos Fleur Clutch! In a shower of petals, Kakus body suddenly grew a pair of arms, tightening his neck and body and trying to instantly twist his neck. However, Kaku did not panic, but stood in the same place, letting those arms that grew out exert their strength and whispered calmly. Tekkai (Iron Body)! In an instant, all the muscles on his body were tight, as if they were turned into iron and it was difficult for Robin to twist his neck. Kaku calmly looked at Robin and said: You almost hurt Blueno, but it will not work on me. My strength is three times that of him! CHAPTER 101 CP9 Previous ChapterNext Chapter Robin also noticed that the level of Kaku was not comparable to the one she had encountered before. The Tekkai (Iron Body) used by the previous person was weaker than used by Kaku. Whiz! Without hesitation, she jumped decisively and with the ability of Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi), she turned directly from the side of the roadway and disappeared. When Kaku saw this, he jumped in the air without hesitation. He lifted his foot in the air and used Gepp (Moonwalk). He quickly found Robin and chased after her. Ochenta Fleur(Eight Flower)Clutch! Noticing that Kaku was much faster than her, Robin took a deep breath and turned, she crossed her arms in front of her and clasped her five fingers sharply. After seven months of practice on Sky island, her strength is much stronger than before, not only with Observation Haki but also with the development of the Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi). Petals are dancing. Countless arms gathered together and formed into four giant arms, trying to twist Kakus head and break his neck. You have a lot of tricks. Feeling the power that binds him, Kakus face changes slightly. Even if his Tekkai (Iron Body) can block it, his muscles will get a little sprained, just like Bluenos. After breaking free of the entanglement of the convergent arms, Kaku jumped, his legs swung violently in the air as he kicked out six or seven air blades with his legs in an instant that swept towards Robin. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) Chaos! Robins eyes flashed as she utilized Observation Haki to capturing the trajectory of the air blades. Her slender waist gently twisted and she avoided every air blade. Kami-e (Paper Drawing)? Seeing Robin avoid Rankyaku (Tempest Kick), Kaku was a little shocked, but he quickly reacted and rushed up toward Robin to fight her in close combat. However, Robin did not intend to fight Kaku. She crisscrossed her arms in front of her and used her power to trip Kaku. While he staggered, she ran to the distant street and rushed directly into the crowd. You cant escape! Kaku was angry, He also rushed into the crowd to catch Robin. He directly ran into the people and everywhere he went, whether ordinary people or nearby criminal organization gangsters, he hit them all and sent them flying. He couldnt use Gepp (Moonwalk) to chase Robin. He had just use Gepp (Moonwalk) and Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) against her and it resulted in him being tripped. Whiz! Whiz! Robin used Observation Haki to capture the movements of the crowd. The extremely agile and precise movements made Kaku unable to catch up with her and even a gap gradually began to open between them. But when she thought that she had escaped from Kaku, a strong wind suddenly came from ahead of her. It was like a bullet-like finger, ruthlessly coming towards her. Marines Rokushiki, Shigan (Finger Gun)! Whiz! At the critical moment, Robin suddenly became aware of the coming danger and moved her body to avoid the coming attack. After avoiding this attack, her face became a bit ugly as she had made a lot of noise and attracted the attention of her pursuer and his companions and this person was not Blueno who she had first met, that is to say, there were at least three people from the other side. Hey, Kaku, chasing after a woman and almost letting her run away, you are not doing a really good job here. After Jabras Shigan (Finger Gun) blocked Robin, he did not continue to attack her, but ridicule Kaku who was rushing from the rear. After Kaku rushed over, he stopped and he narrowed his eyes angrily and yelled at Jabra. Shut up! I wasnt going to lose her and It was me who found her. Ah? If I hadnt come, she would have run away. Do you think that would be any different than you not finding her? Jabra snorted and folded his hands on his chest. Kaku was annoyed and they quarreled for a while. Robin glanced around and quietly retreated, trying to retreat into the chaotic crowd and slip away, but before she could take a few steps out, a voice suddenly came from behind her. You two can stop it. Lucci stepped out of the crowd, looked at Kaku and Jabra and said, Catching Devil Child is just one of the missions, and theres more to be done. Although Kaku and Jabra still refused to glare at each other, they ended their quarrel. The three men stood in a triangle surrounding Robin in the center. Did you bring the Seastone shackles? Lucci glanced at Robin and asked Kaku. Kaku shook his head and said: They are with Fukuro. Tell him to come here. Lucci calmly said and then looked at Robin again and said: I advise you to not do anything, although the orders were to catch you alive, I can not guarantee that you will be without any injuries if you try to escape. Robins arms were half raised and paused in the air, but after biting her teeth slightly, she crossed her arms and clasped her fingers violently. Treinta Fleur(Thirty Flowers) Shigan (Finger Gun)! Almost at the moment when Robin started her ability, Lucci jerked forward with his right index finger stretched out like a bullet, wrapped in a strong wind that headed towards Robin. Robin was forced to give up on her ability to dodge Luccis Shigan (Finger Gun). Shigan (Finger Gun) Spots! Luccis face remained unchanged and his arm muscles tensed as one of his arms suddenly turned into a shadow and his fingers pounded towards Robin repeatedly, instantly sending out more than a dozen Shigan (Finger Gun). With the help of the Observatory Haki, Robins slender waists and legs tossed and rolled in this short instant, constantly avoiding Luccis blows, but although she utilized Observation Haki, her speed was far from Luccis. After avoiding more than ten Shigan (Finger Gun) in succession, her body was no longer able to respond to those attacks, even though she could still clearly capture the subsequent attacks. At this critical moment. The ground of this street suddenly shook under the influence of some kind of power. This shock made everyone stagger instantly and they became unstable. Lucci was forced to terminate his Shigan (Finger Gun) attacks to stabilize his body. CP9 Hiding in the dark and attacking one of my crew members. At the end of the street, Ross came slowly, glancing indifferently across the field. Too much. Thats too much. Even he didnt use his fingers to poke Robin yet. Listening to Ross directly identify their CP9 unit, Luccis eyes flashed World Government has 10 intelligence agencies as subordinated, eight of which are exposed on the bright side, that is CP1 to CP8, as for the hidden ones CP9 and CP0 directly belongs to the tenryubito and very few people know about them! According to common sense, no one should know the existence of CP9 except the government and Marine senior officials. Lucci glanced at the streets that had become empty. Instead of dealing with Robin, Lucci stood there indifferently, looking at Ross. It seems that the assassination plan is failed. The original plan was to first capture Robin and then start the assassination plan. Even if it fails, they would take Robin hostage and use her against Ross. But what they didnt expect is that catching a Robin was more troublesome then they thought which lead to the current situation. However. Its no big deal that the assassination plan failed because it was just a way to minimize the impact and silently erase the Ghost-Hand Pirates from the world. Now that they have met like this and with Him, Kaku, and Jabra here, the assassination plan is changed to Frontal combat! Kill Ghost Hand Ross and Capture Devil Child Nico Robin! CHAPTER 102 ROB LUCCI Previous ChapterNext Chapter Ghost Hand Ross, We finally met. More than half a year ago, the mission to hunt you down was handed over to us. Where have you been in the past six months? Lucci looked at Ross calmly with a cold face. Take a guess. Ross responded faintly and walked over to Robin. Seeing that she had no scars or injuries on her body, he turned his eyes back to Lucci and others. At this time, Lucci, Kaku, and Jabra also stood together, Lucci stood in front, Kaku and Jabra stood on his left and right sides. Im not interested in where you went, but because of your disappearance, we have very little time available for this mission. Luccis tone was cold. Ross gently took off the leather cap on his head and said, Thats a shame because its a mission that is destined to fail. With a flicker of his finger, he lightly threw his hat to the top of a wooden pole near the street. The scene fell into silence. Robin stood on the left side of Ross, while Laffitte stayed on the right side of Ross, forming a one-on-one confrontation with the enemy. I know all about you and I feel sorry for your initial experience, but you will die here because you wantonly killed many Marines and you are opposing the World government. Lucci reached out and grabbed at his chest, pulled off a camouflage cloth that was draped outside, revealed the tight black windbreaker inside and looked calmly at Ross, saying: No matter how fierce of a pirate you are, No matter how powerful you are, It is impossible for a single Pirate to oppose theWorld Government. Whiz! The moment his voice fell, Lucci moved like a bolt of black lightning, showed much faster speed than Kaku and Jabra and instantaneously appeared in front of Ross, sweeping at Ross with one foot. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) Sen(Line)! The powerful foot force, which was not known to the ordinary people, directly kicked a huge chop and swept between Rosss chest and abdomen and even included Laffitte and Robin in the scope of the attack. Today, less than nine years before Luffy went to sea, Lucci, and others in the original book hid their power for Pluton drawings in Water Seven and did not practice for five years. Today their strength is not much different from that time. Whiz Whiz! Laffitte and Robin reacted quickly and retreated toward the side. Ross stood in place, without any intention of avoiding the coming attack. He raised his right hand and grabbed that coming wind blade that held enough power to cut a building and Ross caught that attack with his bare hands. Zi Zi! The coming wind swipe touched Rosss palm and instantly turned into a tangible substance, making a nurturing sound, constantly bursting and trying to tear Rosss palm apart, tearing the layer of the power of distortion on Rosss palm. However, regardless of how this attack broke out, it was impossible for it to break the power of distortion on Rosss palm, This wind attack was held by Ross and in midair and then he threw it away like a small snake. Sneer! The attack was thrown away by Ross and it landed on the top of a building on one side and cut off the whole upper part of the building. The upper part of the building collapsed and crashed into the street. I dont know if I can compete against the World Government, but I do know that you are not enough to compete with us. Ross slowly put down his right hand. He didnt take a single step from beginning till now. Lucci stared at Ross and heard Rosss words. Instead of being angry, he said, Really Anyone can talk big. Whiz! Whiz! During Luccis confrontation with Ross, Kaku and Jabra quarreled again and charged towards their opponents, respectively. Kaku chose Laffitte directly because Robin was a woman, while Jabra decided to grab Robin to make fun of Kakus pride. Kaku pulled out the two swords that had never been used. He would not treat Laffitte as carelessly as he did Robin, but he will consider him his opponent. Demon Sherrif, Laffitte Lucci chose the strongest one and I dont want to fight a woman, so Ill have to let you be my opponent. Hoo hoo, One of the hidden spy agencies of the Government, CP9. I am very interested in you, now lets fight. Laffitte rotated the mahogany cane and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised as he politely accepted the fight. Hes good at sneaking and hiding and he is naturally interested in members of the World Governmental Subordinates Secret Espionage Agency and wants to see how good they are. On the other side, Robin stood there with a cold face and stared at Jabra. She had no fear in dealing with CP9 members in a one-to-one manner. Gaha ha ha ha Left it to Kaku who couldnt even catch a single woman even though he chased you for half a day. If I can easily catch you, then Kaku will not be able to raise his head in front of me. Jabra looked at Robin with a funny and sly smile on his face. Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! It seems that their minds are connected as six people attacked each other at the same time. When Luccis previous attack did not work against Ross, he judged that Rosss strength was not normal and he would need to use all of his abilities. His body swelled at a rapid speed and in a flash, he was taller than Ross. He had a huge body shape with his muscles bulging. His skin was covered with a pattern of leopards and his fingers became leopard claws. Zoan Neko Neko no Mi, Model: Leopard! Compared with countless messy Devil Fruit, the leopard-shaped fruit is among Zoans strongest, second only to the illusory and ancient Devil Fruit. Rankyaku Gaicho(Victorious Bird)! Lucci whispered as he leaped up in the air. The powerful force under the leopard form was completely under his control. His legs and feet were like blades, splitting sharply at Rosss position. Buzz!! In an instant, a huge chop, nearly 100 meters long, burst out from his leg and fell head-on towards Ross, This chop has enough power to destroy a large Battleship in an instant! Kaku and Laffitte, who were fighting were forced to leap further away under the enormous power of the blow. Such a great power Robin looked at the street that had been torn apart in a moment and her face changed slightly. Just now she felt that Luccis level was different from Kakus and now it seems that her instincts were right. Not far from her left, Jabra laughed like a jackal. Although I dont want to admit it, Luccis strength is the strongest among us. Not only that, but that fellow is the strongest person in the 800-year history of CP9! CHAPTER 103 ROSS VS LUCCI Previous ChapterNext Chapter Great Age of Pirates in 13th year. Bang! In a moment of tremendous chopping, a trench of nearly 100 meters in length broke out in the street. However, Lucci, standing in the air with Gepp (Moonwalk), did not show any relaxed expression but instead stared at the bottom with cold eyes. In the midst of the dusty street, Rosss figure gradually emerged. Ross was still standing in the same place, with a crack nearly 100 meters long, which was centered on him and was divided into two parts without any change in the ground beneath his feet. At this moment, Ross is holding his arm up and making a virtual grasping posture. As the dust gradually dissipates, he slowly withdraws his arm. Ross looked at the sky. Its a miscalculation At that moment, because the attack came too fast and covered too much area, the moment it touched his palm, it fell to both sides of his body. Its like a whip is thrown on a nail, leaving a trail of whipping on both sides of the nail, but the small area where the nail is located is in a nondestructive state. I was going to throw it back, but it was broken all of a sudden. Youre better than the Marine Vice-Admiral I met, but Im stronger. Ross calmly said and then suddenly disappeared, appearing over Lucci and kicking him with his foot. Lucci glared at Ross but did not avoid the coming attack and he also kicked towards Ross. Bang! Their feets collided in the air, Luccis foot was wrapped in a strong wind, exerting his strong foot strength to the extream. The blow was almost the same as that of Rankyaku (Tempest Kick). In terms of physical strength, Lucci in the leopard form is stronger than Ross, but Rosss strength comes from his body and not from a Devil Fruit. The two forces collided and surged in the air, making a tremendous noise that shook the surrounding area. Those who had already fled the street were shocked when they heard and felt the terrifying movement. Is this an earthquake?! No someone is fighting Are you stupid? Can a fight between some people produce such a big movement?! In horror and shock, countless people fled farther away. The loud voice alone forced them to cover their ears. Bang! A few seconds later, Ross and Lucci determined the strength and weakness of each other in just one move, Luccis condensed attack was defeated by the power of distortion and Lucci could no longer stay in the air, He fell like a meteor on the ground and created a small crater on the ground. Not far from the fight, Kaku and Jabra were shocked seeing this scene. For the first time, they saw Lucci fall into a difficult position in a face-to-face confrontation. Although Ross had attacked from the top and Lucci has attacked from the bottom and Rosss use of Gravity can also be submitted as a reason for Lucci defeat in this round, But Ross is the strongest person they have met so far! Cough! Cough! Lucci, who was thrown into the earth was not badly injured. As early as he fell halfway down, he launched Tekkai (Iron Body). Hes already stronger body got even stronger under Tekkai (Iron Body) and it made his body much harder than ordinary steel, but his body also possesses the strength and toughness that steel did not possess. You are quite strong. Lucci jumped out of the hole that his body has made and looked at Ross suspended in the air and snorted. It is a delight for him to meet a powerful opponent that made his blood boil with fighting intent. Rosss face was expressionless and his figure flashed. He suddenly rushed towards Lucci. He was in the air and his punch had already fallen. Whiz! Lucci didnt confront Ross head on this time, but his figure flashed as he retreated and then he bent his fingers and slammed them into Rosss direction. Some small air bombs were ejected from his fingers and rushed towards Ross. Ross did not escape and allowed the small air bombs to hit his body. These air bombs only pierced some holes in his clothes and then all collapsed under the influence of the power of distortion, without any effect. This little trick doesnt work for me. Ross fell to the ground, looked at Rob Lucci with indifferent eyes, then raised his hands and gently closed them in front of him. Bang! The whole street shook violently and under the slightly shocked gazes of Jabra and Kaku, like two gates, with Luccis location as the center, it burst open and then squeezed into the middle. Luccis eyes flashed with danger and he tried to avoid the wide-range attack. To his surprise, the power of distortion transmitted from the ground beneath his feet and directly penetrated his feet, making his feet slightly numb and slowing down his escape. It was this slow step that made him instantly caught in the middle by the uplifted earth, It was like a tiny mosquito was caught between two huge Iron Wall. Rosss power of distortion has been able to touch his opponents body directly through the earth. Although the power will be greatly weakened due to distance and multi-layered media, it can still cause some damage. Bang! The force of the blow was much greater than that of Tempest Kick, which Lucci had used before. The 100-meter-wide streets split from the center, then rolled over and squeezed into the center like waves and even miles away its momentum was deafening. Lucci Its too late, what the hell is this guy?! The rest of the CP9 forces finally arrived at the battlefield at this time. They looked at the hill-like thing that was tens of meters high and nearly 100 meters wide and they couldnt help but look at it in fear and surprise. Although after the governments heavy selection and trials, their physical fitness has become countless times better than that of an ordinary person. But this is the first time that they have witnessed such a scene where the street itself rose from the ground and formed a small hill. Kch! Kch! In silence, at the top of the hillside, mud, and rocks cracked and burst apart. Luccis figure jumped out and landed on the ground. Cough! Cough! Lucci coughed violently, he was bleeding from his mouth and his appearance was extremely bad. Fortunately, his physical body was very strong and combined that with his Devil Fruit Leopard shape and Tekkai defensive power, his injuries were not serious. Ross has no expressions on his face as he stared at Lucci. Although he only used less than half of the power of distortion to cast the attack, Lucci body in leopard shape was strong enough to withstand his attack with minimal injuries. If he can exercise his body to the limit then it will be terrifying. His body will reach a level where even Whitebeard will not be able to resist the power of a single Distorted punch. Zhe! Lucci stretched out his finger and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, He looked at Ross in the distance with slight dignity and said, It seems that our Intelligence has misjudged your strength. But If your strength only ends at this level, you wont be able to win. That clumsy trick will not work a second time! CHAPTER 104 SIX STYLES SECRET SKILL: SIX KING GUN Previous ChapterNext Chapter Lucci! Blueno and others were relieved to see Lucci rushing out of the cracked, bulging, and folded hills. At the same time, someone shouted at him. Lucci glanced sideways at Blueno and others and murmured, I dont require your help here. You and Kaku go and arrest Nico Robin as soon as possible. Dont let her run away. Blueno and others were still confident about Lucci. After looking at each other, they rushed towards Robin and Laffitte. Dont be so arrogant to discuss your plans in the middle of our fight. Ross calmly stood there and the power of distortion suddenly broke out, the entire street was shaken as the earth and stones were rolled up like waves and they were pressed directly toward Blueno and Lucci and directly involved everyone in the attack. The momentum of this blow is even bigger than before! Back off! Luccis eyes flashed as he leaped in the air and after a few flashes of Gepp (Moonwalk), he crossed over and slammed his leg towards Ross. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) Storm! Sneer! Sneer! Sneer! In the blink of an eye, seven or eight choppers hit Ross head-on, trying to force Ross to stop his attack. Ross no longer controlled the rolling street and he raised his hand as his figure flickered and he caught all attacks in his hand, The attacks were like seven or eight invisible pythons which turned into a glowing sphere under the power of distortion. Whiz! Whiz! The Gravity Distortion was cast out and at the same time, Ross used Gepp (Moonwalk) to close the distance between him and Lucci and he pressed the ball of light directly into Luccis body. Lucci did not intend to compete with Ross. Instead, he appeared on Rosss right side and kicked him violently. Ross predicted ahead of time as he turned his arm around and continued pressing the light ball toward Lucci. Bang! Luccis Rankyaku slammed into the light ball and the light ball collapsed as it slammed into the broken street, cutting the tops of several buildings. Rosss palm did not stop. At the moment when the ball of light collapsed, his five fingers clenched into a fist as he continued to throw a punch at Lucci. Whiz! At the moment when Lucci was about to collide with Ross, he used Gepp (Moonwalk) to disappear from the front and appeared behind Ross. Shigan (Finger Gun)! His fingers darted towards Rosss heart. Luccis speed is much faster than that of Vice-Admiral Dalmatian. After all, He is in Zoans leopard form and his physical strength is stronger than Dalmatian. However, even though Lucci is extremely fast, Ross with Observation Haki can still react without getting injured by Lucci. Whiz! Rosss body slammed on one side, avoiding Luccis Shigan (Finger Gun) and he punched Lucci back. In the case of air combat, Gravity Distortion can greatly enhance his flexibility and speed, making his speed similar to Lucci. Lucci saw Ross react to several of his attacks and fight back. He gave up the attack and jumped to a roof. Your response is not bad. Ross retracted his fist and looked indifferently at Lucci on the distant roof. Blueno and others are weaker than Kaku and Jabra. Although they have reached the battlefield near Robin, they are easily entangled by Laffitte. Only. Kaku was about to lose his fight but with Blueno and others support he was able to compete with Laffitte. Your abilities are too troublesome. Luccis eyes were low. It seemed that he was fighting Ross with speed, but in fact, he had to use speed to avoid Rosss attack. Fortunately, Rosss speed is a little slower than his, otherwise, if his speed was comparable to his, Luccis odds of winning will drop to near zero. Without any hesitation. Luccis thoughts moved as the muscles on his body contracted and shrunk, He used Life Return (Seimei Kikan) to increase his speed at the expense of reducing his strength. Whiz! Ross did not speak anymore and with a sudden flash, he dived towards Lucci, folding his right hand into a fist and flung it out with a violent blow. Lucci dodged Rosss fist, flashed to Rosss side and switched back. Ross reached for his wrist and in a flash, the two men made dozens of moves in mid-air. Bang! Even though Ross is inferior to Lucci in terms of speed but with the flying ability of Gravity Distortion and with the speed of Gepp (Moonwalk), he is not much slower than Lucci in the case of air combat. After dozens of moves, Lucci fell towards the ground again. Ross did not pause. As soon as Lucci fell he swooped downward, chasing Lucci and pressing down his hand and gathering power of distortion in his palms, he could almost see the weak Distribution curve formed in the air around him with the naked eye. Whiz! Lucci forcibly twisted in mid-air and fell dozens of meters away without being hit by Rosss palm, but Ross also fell to the ground the next moment. Almost in an instant, the soil around Lucci surged wildly and piled up and squeezed toward his position and there appeared cracks in the earth as if the cover had been peeled off, taking Luccis position as the center, forming a sphere. Ah! Lucci roared and his arms shook violently, breaking away from the state of Life Return (Seimei Kikan), tearing apart the crushing stones and dirt and struggling out of it. Almost at the moment Lucci rushed out, Ross was already waiting outside for him, his eyes calm and indifferent as he raised his fist and slammed it towards Lucci. Lucci couldnt escape the blow, but instead of panicking, he sank his face, folded his fists in front of him and pointed them at Rosss swinging fist. Rokushiki Ogi: Rokuogan(Six Styles Secret Skill: Six King Gun)! Bang! Nearly surpassing the Sky islands Impact Dial in power, this attack has more than enough power and it is concentrated on a single point, This attack and Rosss power of distortion collided against each other. This is the Six Styles Secret Skill: Six King Gun that condenses all the power into one point and does not have any negative after-effects on the users body. An extremely terrifying destructive power will erupt at a single point. However. When this kind of impact is concentrated in one point and encounters the chaotic power of distortions, it will not be able to maintain the state of convergence smoothly, but in the fierce conflict, it will collapse. Ross and Lucci were stagnating at the same time. Time seemed to be fixed for a moment. Then the whole street was centered on the place where the two confronted, setting off a terrifying aftershock. The air seemed to ripple and rush in all directions. The earth-shaking sound made Kaku and others in the fierce battle hundreds of meters away look sideways and the movements of their hands stopped at the same time. Did he use the Six Styles Secret Skill: Six King Gun? Its the first time Lucci has been forced to this extent. CP0 is superior to all CP organizations, while CP9 is a covert organization which is second only to CP0 and higher than all other CP organizations. Lucci is known as the strongest person in the past 800 years which means that his strength is absolute. Kaku and Jabra dont have their Devil Fruit right now. In the absence of the Devil Fruit, their power is half of Lucci, but once Lucci uses his Devil Fruits ability, his power will become several times higher and everyone in CP9 combined is not his opponent. CHAPTER 105 INSTANTANEOUS VICTORY AND DEFEA T Previous ChapterNext Chapter Bang! In the aftermath, a loud sound echoed and the dust in the center swings away. Ross stands in place, motionless and the ground beneath his feet shows traces of cobweb-like cracks. On the opposite side of Ross, Lucci failed to hold his figure. The impact of Six King guns was crushed by Ross power of distortion and he flew backward and crashed through one building and crashed into the second one. He blocked Luccis Six King Guns?! How can it be. Seeing this scene, The pupils of Kaku and others contracted and their looks were slightly sluggish. Looking at the fierce battle between Ross and Lucci and Lucci releasing the six king guns, the gap between their strength should not be this much. Lucci back collided with the second building as he vomited blood and walked out of the hole he made in the building and looked towards Rosss direction. He couldnt understand. How could Rosss power rise so much at once? When he launched Tempest Kick, he was only slightly inferior. Just now, he released Six Kings guns, intending to make a hard fight with Ross to create an opportunity to end the Battle. Unexpectedly, he went all out to fight Ross hard, but he lost instead! You didnt use your full strength before Luccis face became extremely depressed and gloomy as he looked at the Ross standing on the broken street. To deal with Lucci, who is faster than him, Rosss plan of action is simple. First, he will fight with ordinary punches and then uses Distortion Fruits ability to create a situation where Lucci cant use speed to avoid him and then he will severely injure him. Yes. Ross looked calmly at Lucci. At first, He only used less than half of his power and even with the last blow, he only used 80% of his power of distortion. Ross admires Lucci and CP9s intelligence gathering ability and he wanted to see if he can use that ability for his own so he did not actively try to kill Lucci and others, otherwise he might accidentally kill Lucci by attacking him at his full power and the situation will be unsalvagable. Whiz! The next moment, Rosss figure flickered as he charged towards Lucci. Luccis body was attacked by the power of distortion. Even though most of it was counteracted by the impact of Six Kingsguns and Luccis body was extremely strong, but it still suffered serious injuries. In particular, under the influence of the power of distortion, he could not display Tekkai (Iron Body). When he flew backward, he crushed a building with his back, and the impact injury was extremely serious. No way. Feeling the wounds of his body, Lucci knew that even if he used speed to avoid it, he would lose if he continued to drag it down. He took a deep breath and showed his determination in his eyes. Instead of choosing to avoid it, he put his fists together again. Using the power of Life Return (Seimei Kikan) to force down the injuries on the body. I dont plan to continue dragging it down, either. Seeing this scene, Rosss eyes were calm as his fingers folded into fists. Once again, the power of distortions in his body was completely stimulated by Ross and all of them converged on his fists. The air around his fists faintly presented a circle of Distortion. Distortion Fist! At the same time, Lucci also made a decisive move, he did not pay any attention to his injuries and all of his strength was completely focused on a single point. It was Luccis strongest blow, and although it was performed in a state of near-serious injury, it was almost as powerful as it was in its full-blown state, thanks to the ability of Life Return (Seimei Kikan). Sai Dai Rin: Rokuogan(Maximum Ring: Six King Gun)! Bang! Luccis all-out punch and Rosss earnest punch collided with each other violently, it was as if time had been fixed at this instant. The impact of this explosion is far more than the Hasshoken of the Sai of the Happo Navy that Ross encountered before. It exploded like a tough bullet, trying to break through the power of distortion blockade and penetrate Ross. But. Under his control, Rosspower of distortions is also completely condensed in one point. It collides directly with the impact of the Six King Guns. Luccis Six King Guns cant compete with Ross power of distortions. They just stand still for a second and then completely break up. Crash! The aftermath of the collapse of Six Kingsguns and the power of distortions almost instantaneously destroyed the upper part of the building where Ross and Lucci fought and then spread down all the way, completely destroying the whole building and shattering it into numerous splashes of rubble. Luccis figure flies backward in the burst of rubble, smashing three buildings in a row before creating a crater on the ground. He coughed out blood from his mouth and he was no longer able to maintain the shape of Leopard, restoring to his normal human form. Kaku and others have no time to support Lucci, or even if they could have time, their support will be useless. They can only watch Lucci and Ross final attack in which Lucci was completely defeated! Lucci Lost?! How could that be, that mans strength, even Lucci cant match it?! Kaku and others made countless judgments before they acted against Ross. They even judged that Lucci may be defeated in his fight against Ross. After all, a Shichibukai was killed by the other side. But. Nobody expected that Lucci would lose so fast. The entire battle was completely one-sided and Ross never gave any chance to Lucci to recover in the entire battle. There was silence. There was a dead silence. Lucci was defeated so quickly was a point they have not considered and they hadnt made any preparations for this scenario. At this point, only a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral or CP0 can make any decision for them. Over the collapsed building, Ross floated in mid-air seemingly unaffected by the gravity and glanced calmly at Lucci, whose life and death was unknown and turned towards Kaku and others. This glance made Kaku and others fall into the ice cellar. Damn! On the ruined streets. Lucci, Kaku, Jabra and many other CP9 members were lying on the ground unconscious with serious injuries on their bodies. After Lucci lost to Ross, the Battle outcome could not be reversed. Spandam who had been on board did not hesitate to leave Lucci and others and ordered his men to sail away, without even going ashore to explore the details of the battle. Is it hard for you to hypnotize them deeply?. Looking at the CP9 members lying on the ground, Ross asked Laffitte. Regardless of CP9s Battle ability, its intelligence collection ability is beyond doubt. If he can take over many members of CP9 and form the peripheral intelligence network of Pirates, it will not be necessary for him and Robin to make painstaking efforts to collect intelligence in the future. They were selected and trained and brainwashed at a very young age until they formally join the governments Intelligence Agency. Its very difficult to hypnotize them deeply. Laffitte showed a helpless expression, even with his ability, it was difficult to even brainwash the weakest member of members of CP9 organization. They hold extreme loyalty to the World Government Ross looked at the CP9 members lying on the ground, looking thoughtful, and suddenly asked, What if this loyalty collapses? Is there a possibility of deep hypnosis? Laffitte thought for a moment and said, Thats a good way to try, with some certainty. Ross nodded and said, Well What are you going to do? asked Robin. She could see that Ross intended to take over CP9, but it would not be so easy for a World Government Secret Government Intelligence agent to betray the World Government. Ross had a smile on his face as if he were holding everything in his hand. I wont do anything There is a great possibility that after the intelligence agents are defeated the World Government will choose to obliterate their existence. In addition, the Chief of CP9 is a waste and he will add fuel to fire to the failure of this operation to blame all the members of CP9. At Rosss words, Robins eyes flashed It turns out that you let the government ship leave here on purpose. She doesnt know how Ross knows about the chief of CP9, but since Ross says so, its probably not wrong. Ross always knows something that doesnt seem to be known by anyone else. Robin even wondered if Ross was the head of a top-notch Intelligence agency but there werent any signs of Ross contacting others. CHAPTER 106 MISERABLE CP9 Previous ChapterNext Chapter Holy Land Mariejois. This is the heart of the World Government. At the top of this stately and elegant building, in a very spacious hall, five people, sitting or standing, are all serious-faced. They are the core of the highest power of the World Government. One of them frowned and hit the table with his fist. Its them again, The Ghost Hand Pirates. Even CP9 couldnt handle them? Everyones face was full of anger. For the high-ranking people like them, the Ghost-Hand Pirates name could not even reach their ears before they caused a huge storm. But the Ghost Hand Pirates caused a huge storm, killing Crocodile who was one of the Shichibukai, This new rising power caused them some headaches. Different from the power of Yonk (Four Emperors). The Ghost Hand Pirates has no fixed place to stay and they wander around the sea and even disappeared inexplicably for six or seven months and no one was able to find them, even Marine Admiral Aokiji failed to find them. Every Marine Admiral is an extremely important Battle force, not only to deal with all kinds of things in the Marine but to also protect the tenryubito and they are also needed to deal with the Yonk (Four Emperors) that can make a big mess at any time. It is impossible for a Marine Admiral to hunt a single pirate force in the Grand Line. That seemingly small hole has become bigger. These Ghost Hand Pirates must be disposed of as soon as possible. With their dangerous behavior, if they continue to grow, the consequences will be unimaginable. Ghost Shadow Ship. After dropping the seriously injured and comatose CP9 crew and letting Laffitte spy on them, Ross returned to the ship with Robin. It seems that you have made a decision. Looking at Law who was standing at the deck Ross calmly said. With his current strength and status, It is not absolutely necessary for Ross to recruit Law as the ships doctor, but with Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit, his potential is undoubtedly the biggest. Law murmured, If you can kill Doflamingo, I can join you. Ross slightly smiled and without answering he made a gesture towards Robin, then turned and walked into the cabin and disappeared. Robin watched Rosss back disappear into the cabin and she turned to look at Law and held her chin in one hand and smiled: So, you can call him Captain the next time you see him. Law sighed. He didnt know whether the decision today was right or wrong, but since the decision has been made, he can only take a step forward. As Ross expected, Spandam put all the blame on Lucci and others in order to minimize his fault. Coupled with his father, World Governments senior official Spandine manipulating the internal operations, the government finally issued a killing order on Lucci. CP9 itself is a hidden organization which is independent of CP1-8. Now, not only are they completely exposed, but they also failed to complete their mission, so the existence of Lucci and others naturally loses its meaning. Very soon. The CP9 crew was hunted down by North Blue Marine. Because Lucci was seriously injured in Battle with Ross, and others were also injured, they could not resist the pursuit of Marine from North Blue branch, so they could only use Bluenos ability to flee continuously. Although they have been brainwashed and are loyal to the World Government since childhood, this does not mean that they will be willing to be disposed of by the government, especially when they are blackmailed by Spandam. For Ross. They have no hatred, they are not as powerful as him and it was due to their luck that they managed to survive. All the anger they have has been transferred to Spandam. Spandam that bastard sooner or later I will let him pay the price! Somewhere in the shady corner of an island, the wounded, woeful CP9 crew are staying and resting and Jabra is grinding his teeth in anger. Lucci sat there without saying a word, he lost his fight to Ross. He believed in dark justice. In his eyes, weakness is sin, but he is weaker than Ross. It wont work like this. We have to find a place to treat our injuries first. Kalifa watched Luccis condition and the injuries and anxious expressions of the people present. Although they all had some first aid, they were not doctors after all. The injuries on their bodies could not be effectively alleviated and treated under the circumstances of Marines constant pursuit. In particular, Lucci was severely injured and he has not yet recovered any Battle strength. Some days ago, he even needed other people to help him. Only in these two days can he gradually walk by himself. If they can completely recover from their Battle, let alone Lucci, Kaku, and Jabra, anyone of the CP9 members are not afraid of Marines pursuit from North Blue Branch, It will be easy enough for them to beat them down. In our current state, Marine will kill us once we show up. Fukuro shook his head. They are not very familiar with the environment of North Blue. Kaku murmured: The government and Marines pursuit will not be obvious, ordinary civilians will not know about our affairs, the only problem is how to raise funds for treatment. They are not pirates nor gangsters. Although they secretly executed countless disobedient people for the government, they only acted on their orders. And just as the crowd was meditating, a voice suddenly came from the end of the lane. You dont need to raise any money to get treatment. This voice changed the faces of all the CP9 people present, especially Lucci, who had been sitting there with his head down. He raised his head sharply and looked in the direction of the voice. There. Ross has appeared in the alleyway without them noticing his presence. His eyes were calm as he walked slowly toward the CP9 who was hiding in the depths of the alleyway. Its you Kaku, Jabra, and others with Battles strength stood up unconsciously and put on a defensive posture and stared at Ross with great vigilance. But when they thought of the fight between Ross and Lucci which was not long ago, Ross defeated Lucci and crushed them easily, they could not help but feel powerless. Ross was not very tall, but as he came and stood there, he gave them a feeling of suffocation, the scenes that lingered in their minds cannot be forgotten. Did you come here to taunt the losers? Lucci walked slowly to the front of the crowd and looked calmly at Ross. Ross smiled and shook his head. No, Im here for only one purpose. Thats to give you two choices. What choices?. First, work for me or Second, all of you can die here. Rosss voice was calm as it echoed in the dark lane. Kaku, Jabra, and others were angered and they said: What a joke, how can we work for a pirate. CHAPTER 107 *HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter The choice is yours. Ross stood there calmly, without raising his eyelids. He said lightly, I want to remind you that you are not the CP9 of the government subordinates, but the fugitive pursued by the government. On the other hand, you should know all about me and the Ghost Hand Pirates, my purpose has never changed, that is Hunting pirate. At Rosss words, Kaku and Jabra fell silent. Indeed. They are no longer the members of CP9, but the fugitives pursued by the government. Strictly speaking, there is no difference between them and Ross. As for Rosss second point Their information about Ross and the Ghost-Hand Pirates is clear. The Ghost-Hand Pirates never raided civilians but kept hunting pirates all the way. As for the murdered Marine, it was also a counter-attack against the pursuit and suppression. If Ross is the kind of pirate that plunders civilians, there is no acceptable possibility for them to work with him at all, but the fact is that Rosss behavior is not essentially different from them to some extent. Its not our Captain who led you to this situation. I think you know better than we do about the main person responsible for your current situation. Ha Ha Laffittes figure appeared silently. Ross didnt intend to use words to conquer CP9. It was impossible to do it. At most, it will shake the hearts of the CP9 members. Laffittes mission is to gradually pull them into the abyss of hypnosis when CP9s heart shakes. Spandam That bastard sooner or later I will make him pay the price for this. Under the psychological guidance of Laffitte, the faces of CP9 were full of anger, but this anger was not directed at Ross, but it was directed towards Spandam. He is greedy for life and is afraid of death, He always hides on the ship and does not come down, He let the Marines protect him and after the failure of the mission, he turned his head and fled without even saving them and he also dumped all responsibilities on them. Whoop, but if you deal with him, you will be going against the World Government. Laffittes voice seems to have some magic, CP9s members heart wavered and the belief in the heart gradually collapsed. However. Not everyone is gradually guided by Laffitte. One person stood at his original position without any changes in his expressions, whether it was Laffitte or the reactions of Kaku and others, he did not do anything. Rob Lucci. Weakness is sin, this is your point of view. Rosss faintly said, Luccis will is stronger than he expected, even now, he remains standing there without any expressions on his face, otherwise, he would have been affected by Laffitte. If Lucci at this time affects Kaku and others, it is likely to cause Laffittes guidance failure, leading to an irreversible situation. But a weak person become your chief and control your destiny. Isnt this a very sad thing? Laffitte is constantly guiding Kaku, Jabra, and others, while Ross continues to talk to Lucci, shaking Luccis heart with what he knows. Compared with other people in CP9, Lucci has more potential then all of them combined together. In the original series, he was defeated by Luffy. After being chased by the government, he actually returned and become the chief of CP0 and went he was able to fight Sabo who ate Flame-Flame Fruit without losing any ground. Ross will recognize such strength and potential, he is even willing to let him join his official crew. I wont interfere with their choice. Lucci was silent for a moment, then suddenly he opened his mouth calmly. He knew what Ross is trying to do and knew what Laffitte is doing. It cant change him or affect him. Hes still Rob Lucci, the strongest CP9 member in 800 years. He wont surrender to pirate or do anything for a pirate. However, he will not change the choices of Kaku and others. I am Rob Lucci. Weakness is a sin If one day you can be stronger than the government, then you are just But at least for now, youre not. I can be loyal to justice, but not to the enemy. Luccis tone is calmly narrated. When it comes to this, his thoughts move and his body suddenly expands, It was a little difficult to enter the leopard form. You are the only qualified enemy I have encountered. Ross looked at Lucci and there were a slight regret and loss in his eyes. He said: If you had met me a year earlier, it would have been a suspenseful Battle. Is that right? Thats a pity. Lucci had a slight smile on his face as he pounced on Ross. Bang! Luccis body stops and solidifies there with Rosss fist resting on his chest. Lucci! Kaku, Jabra, and others were shocked and puzzled. Luccis body quickly recovered from Leopard Mans form and fell aside. There were no new wounds on his body, but the internal organs of Luccis body had already been crushed. This is really Laffitte shook his head. Fortunately, he had almost completed the guidance and preliminary hypnosis. Lucci took the initiative to make a choice and didnt interfere with his work. Otherwise, he might lose a lot. Even so, he had to continue his work. Although Kaku and others were affected, their heart now has an even bigger flaw and he found an opportunity to invade it. On the other side. Ross slowly retracted his hand and shook his head. At the same time, a familiar voice was heard in his ear. Rob Lucci, the strongest CP9 member in 800 years, has been killed, a reward of 100 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 point Free Talent Points has been acquired. Looking at Luccis body, Ross muttered to himself, Whether its life or death, You were worth it. You were indeed a qualified opponent. Unfortunately, I met you too late. The death of Lucci adds hatred to Kaku and others, but this hatred does not point to Ross, but to Spandam, even without Laffitte guidance. When Ross first beat them, he didnt kill Lucci. It was a decent defeat. After a while. The remaining CP9 members joined The Ghost Hand Pirates. Laffitte completed the final guidance, He slightly smiled while looking towards Kaku and others, He performed a long brainwashing and deep hypnosis, just in line with Laws treatment to Kaku and others to synchronize, to maximize their loyalty. Kaku and others did not speak, although they decided to join the Ghost Hand Pirates, they were all in a low mood because of Luccis death. Very soon. The CP9 members and Ross returned to the Ghost Shadow Ship, Law was responsible for healing the injuries they suffered and Laffitte for further brainwashing and hypnosis. A month later, Ghost Shadow Ship returned to Grand Line with Kaku and others and placed them on a large island and issued a Den Den Mushi for contact. Ghost hand intelligence organization has been created. At the same time, the World Government changed the bounty amount of the Ghost Hand Pirates, Robins bounty increased to 80 million Berries and Laffittes bounty became 120 million Berries. As for the bounty of Ross, it was raised to 300 million Berries! Chapter 107 300 Million Berries Bounty CHAPTER 108 PROMOTING STRENGTH Previous ChapterNext Chapter Bounty of 300 million Berries! Before Ross, the top Supernova in the first half of the Grand Line was a pirate named Bartra who had a bounty of 280 million Berries. Now Ross has surpassed him in the first half of the Grand Line of this era, he has a bounty of 300 million berries which made him the top Supernova. In the first half of the Grand Line, a supernova with a bounty of 100 million berries read the new wanted poster of Ghost Hand Ross and he couldnt help but blink repeatedly when he read the reward. Oh, 300 million, what a big deal. Sabaody Archipelago. Another Supernova with a bounty of over 100 million berries, read the bounty order falling from the sky and slightly grinned: What a great guy, For someone who has completely angered the government and Marine and still lives to this day. It is unfortunate that he didnt meet us. A man next to him with a cigarette grinned and said, But were going to the New World soon, lets see if that guy can live till he reaches the New World. On a piece of sea. Don Chinjao, a bald man in a blue cloth, touched his bald head and looked angry: The younger generation man always runs around, but sooner or later this old man will find you! For the first half of the Grand Line, all the Supernovas which held the bounty of over 100 million berries paid attention to this news, because in the first half of the Grand Line anyone who has a bounty of over 100 million berries will be able to survive in the New World and they will have a chance to become one of the members in Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. Compared to it. In New World, there are many pirates with the bounty of over 100 million berries, but not many people will pay attention to this kind of news. Ghost Hand Rosss hanging bounty reaches 300 million! Dont you say that he had disappeared from the sea? What did he do now?! Many people were shocked to find Rosss bounty order, which changed from 200 million Berries to 300 million Berries. As the government tried to cover up the CP9 accident, the news of Rosss defeat of CP9 in North Blue did not leak out. Few people knew the inside story. Although there is not much news about Ross, the change in the bounty order has caused some waves on Grand Line and some forces who believe that Ross has been secretly dealt with by the government have once again focused their attention on them. Compared to other Pirates, the Ghost Hand Pirates is undoubtedly regarded by the World Government as a bone spike, a stab in the flesh that has to be removed. The government and Marines will never give up. They have raised the bounty on his head and I am sure that Marines will continue to chase to either suppress or kill the Ghost Hand Pirates. Never had a Pirates been able to shame the World Government and Marines several times before they entered New World. Never had a Pirates been able to survive the first half of Grand Line and reach New World after outraging the government and Marines! Ghost Shadow Ship. After placing CP9 and others on a large island in Grand Line, Ross gave them the first mission, which contained two submissions. First, to collect all the intelligence of Supernova pirate in the first half of the Grand Line, especially those who have a bounty of over 100 million, their location and specific routes. Second is to collect all Seven Warlords of the Sea Intelligence data, focusing on location information as well. I will kill some pirates in the first half of the Grand Line but I need to hurry and go to the New World as soon as possible. Any future actions taken by the World Government will include CP0, or Buster Call, or a Marine Admiral will personally come out. Ross stood on the deck and murmured as he watched the rolling sea. The exact existence of CP0 is not clear to Ross, but from the memory of Lucci joining CP0, their strength can be compared with a person who has eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit, they are the highest Battle power in the organization, Their strength will not be much weaker than a Marine Admiral. Buster Call has 10 large Battleships, five Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral and at least ten Headquarters Rear Admiral, which are second only to CP0 and Marine Admiral. As for a Marine Admiral The worst thing for Ross is to encounter a Marine Admiral, He is now strong enough to surpass the veteran Headquarters Vice-Admiral, but still, the huge gap between him and a Marine Admiral cannot be erased even with the assistance of the Proficiency Points he gained after killing Lucci. Marine Admiral is almost at the peak of both body and Haki. There is no absolute shortcoming. Even Kizaru, which Zephyr calls its over-dependence on fruit, has absolute capital to rely on fruit, and the speed of glittering fruit is too terrifying. Unlike Luffy, can a year or two be enough to reach a Marine Admirals in strength Ross pondered. His present situation seems to be at ease. In fact, it is at the edge of the cliff that he is likely to fall into the abyss at any time. If he wants to truly have the ability of self-protection, he must at least have the strength of a High-Level cadre of Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates or it will be even better if his strength is similar to a Marine Admiral! Thinking for a while, Ross shook his head and called out the Talent System. After killing Lucci, he had not used the 100 Talent Proficiency Points. Looking at the semi-permeable Talent System Interface, he thought about it and put 50 Proficiency points on Agility Enhancement. Speed is his current weakness and shortcomings. If he did not conceal his strength and create opportunities to hit Lucci hard, even if he would win in the end, but it would be difficult for him to catch Lucci if he wanted to escape. Lucci was a lot faster than him, not to mention Marine Admiral. If he meets Kizaru, he can easily play Ross on the palm of his hand by using speed alone. Buzz!! The golden light flashed and the panel of the General department changed. Agility Enhancement: 200 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 350 (Top Level Strengthening) After filling in 50 Talent Proficiency Points, Agility Enhancement rose from 150 to 200, crossing the threshold of Top Level Strengthening. After a burst of heat flowing through his body, Ross could almost clearly feel that his body had become extremely light and that lightness had no effect on his strength. Whiz! Whiz! He lifted his foot and utilized Gepp (Moonwalk), he circled around the Ghost Shadow Ship and returned to his original place. His speed was at least 50% higher than before. Such a surge will make up for the speed gap between Lucci and him in an instant, even slightly better than that! If he fought with Lucci with his current speed then he would be able to defeat him in speed and he will not have any weakness! The remaining 50 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross slightly thought and assigned 35 points to the Observation Haki and 15 points to the Distortion Fruit. Buzz!! The golden light illuminates from the bottom of the Battle Talents Tree and it flashes all the way. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 405 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki: 50 Armament Haki: 0 Distortion Fruits proficiency breaks through the 400-point mark to 405 points, which fits in with the seven-month improvement in the Sky island. As for Observation Haki, it also reached 50 points and it has soared. With his full concentration, it is easy for him to perceive the action of Robin who is taking a shower in the bathroom. However. He can only perceive actions and cant see the full picture. I dont know if I can catch Kizarus action now but It should still be very difficult. As Ross adapted to the improved Observation Haki, he thought and muttered to himself. CHAPTER 109 MARINES ARE MOVING Marine Headquarters. Aokiji sat yawning, rubbing his eyebrows in an office at the top of the fortress and said, Ah Rara, is there another one? The Ghost Hand Pirates are troublesome. Previously, he went to the sea for the Ghost Hand Pirates, he went out for a month and stayed outside for a month. He found nothing and finally returned without success. A Marine Admiral ran out alone for a month and accumulated a lot of things he needed to deal with. After returning, he was busy for a long time before he finished. Aokiji shook his head and couldnt help but think of Garp. Garp has repeatedly refused to be promoted to an Admiral and even now he is still a Vice-Admiral. Compared with Admirals position, Vice-Admiral is much easier. It does not need to be responsible for tenryubitos security, maintain tenryubitos power, or supervise numerous Marines subordinates to approve trivial matters in a sea. Right now he is a newly appointed Admiral so he is not as lazy as he was in the original series, He is doing his job as an Admiral. Oezi sea area Aokiji took out the sea map and looked at it for a moment. As a new Marine Admiral, he was responsible for a lot of trifles things of Marines. If he ran out again and again for a single pirate group, Marine would be in a mess. However, CP9 was destroyed by Ross, Shichibukai Crocodile was also killed by him and the branch Vice-Admiral was also unable to control the Ghost Hand Pirates. Even a Headquarters Vice-Admiral would be hard pressed in dealing with Ross. He had to authorize a Buster Call. The strength of the Ghost Hand Pirates requires a Buster Call to deal with them. Headquarters Vice-Admiral is also responsible for a lot of things. Mobilizing five Headquarters Vice-Admiral at one time and leading the army to leave Headquarters to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates will also have a great impact. Its really is a headache. Aokiji, with a pen in one hand and a chin in the other, fell into deep meditation and finally took out Den Den Mushi and silently gave several orders. Very soon. Under the command of Aokiji, Marine Headquarters took action and a total of six large Battleships departed from Headquarter. Its Vice Admiral Doberman and Vice-Admiral Momonga! Six Battleships and Vice-Admirals Are they going to launch a Buster Call? Lieutenant Marine of Headquarters was shocked to see the scene. Although Marine Headquarters often had large Battleship docked on its shore but this time six battleships were departed at the same time, led by Vice-Admirals and formed a fleet. Such forces were somewhat frightening. Its like a big war! On one of the Battleships. The atmosphere was suppressed. Headquarters Vice-Admiral Doberman walked up to the deck and pressed one hand on the hilt of his sword. His eyes looked coldly at the sea in front of him. Ill make up for the mistakes I made. This time I will execute you personally! Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral Doberman, working with several Headquarters Vice-Admiral from Marine Headquarters, Target Ghost Hand Pirates on the Grand Line! Half a month later, Oezi sea area. This is a sea on Grand Line, which covers two routes and consists of five islands. It is also called the Sea of Cherry Blossoms. The cherry trees on five islands in the sea are very flourishing. At the edge of one of the islands, the Ghost Shadow Ship is briefly docked. A pirate of over 100 million bounty is in this sea, but it is not yet clear which island he is at. Kaku and others are exploring intelligence through various channels in the Underground world. In the practice room of Ghost Shadow Ship, two figures are doing exercises, one is Ross and the other is Law. After boarding the Ghost Shadow ship and discoveringRosss practice methods, Law quickly joined in on those practices. Although he has become a ship doctor of the Ghost Hand Pirates and Ross has confirmed that he will deal with Doflamingo, he will not put all his hopes on others. In order to handle Doflamingo, he will naturally improve his strength as soon as possible. HuHu Law, who is a few months away from the age of sixteen, doesnt need to mention the gap between his and Rosss physical fitness. Right now he can only carry Rosss lightest weight and do physical exercises. In the other corner of the practice room, Ross not only carries a huge load ten times more than Laws but also used his Gravity Distortion to support himself with double gravity! After the proficiency of the power of distortions reached 400 points, Ross reached a new step for the displacement of gravity, which directly affected the gravity. Naturally. Theres still a big gap between his Gravity Distortion and the Gravity Devil fruits. Today, hes trying to stimulate Gravity Distortion and can at most utilized triple of normal gravity, far less than Fujitora, let alone pulling a meteorite from the sky. With the ability of double gravity, Rosss physical exercise effect has become obvious again. The special floor of the practice room can also bear Rosss maximum load with. Ross and Law were doing almost synchronous movements, squatting heavily, but every time Ross squatted, he could feel the mountain-like heavy pressure. On the other side, Law seemed a little silly doing those exact movements with the same expression. The only thing that was almost the same was the look in their eyes. The eyes of Ross and Law are very similar, both have their own goals, and their hearts are firm and unshakable. What they have to say is that Rosss eyes are slightly different from Laws. In his tough eyes, there is a hint of indescribability. Bang! Ross completed a set of squats and retracted the Gravity Distortion ability before putting the huge load aside, He sat on the floor gasping for breath. Almost at the same time, Law couldnt hold on and he threw away the load, leaned against the back wall and gasped violently. And just then. After receiving the latest intelligence from the peripheral intelligence organization, Robin found Ross, who is practicing in the practice room. Captain Ross, the intelligence has come, They have determined the position of the Moving Weapons Crs Bartra with the bounty of 160 million Berries Oh? Ross stood up and took a deep breath to maintain his image and looked at Robin. Robin first reported the intelligence in her hand and then asked Ross: So, should I contact our navigator now? Ross nodded and said: Notice Laffitte that as soon as the magnetism of the Log Pose is full, he is to come back to the ship, Our goal is Spring Island and I dont want my prey to run away. The pirates who have the bounty between 100 million and 200 million berries are good hunting targets for him, even if he hunts a pirate with the same amount of bounty a second time he will acquire 40 Talent Proficiency points, which is a considerable improvement and there is also a probability of gaining Free Talent Points. He now has 2 Free Talent Points. For the time being, he doesnt plan to mess around with them. The proficiency of the Distortion Fruit has reached 405 points. It is not far away from 600 points. At that time, the Free Talent Points will be needed to activate the Distortion space ability and that ability will require more than 3 Free Talent Points. For Ross. The first half of the Grand Line is a free map. Even if he killed pirates wantonly he wont provoke any of the Yonk (Four Emperors). After entering the New World, the pirates are either Shichibukai or they are under the banner of Yonk (Four Emperors). Even if he is able to stall the Marines and the government long enough to enter the New World unharmed, he would face the situation of New Worlds Four Emperors separatist regime. If he wants to rise in that sea than he would have to confront a Yonk (Four Emperors)! Before that, Ross had to safely break into New World under the bloody and ruthless pursuit of Marine and the government. This road is extremely difficult. But. As long as he stepped over, he would be very close to standing on the top of the sea. CHAPTER 110 METAL ATTRIBUTE DEVIL FRUI T Previous ChapterNext Chapter Spring island. It is one of Oezis five cherry blossom islands and one of the most prosperous islands. The climate on the entire island is spring all year round, so it is also known as the spring island. On a certain street in the spring island, there is a totally different atmosphere from the flowing cherry blossoms Tension, depression, and fear. What are you going to do? This is the greatest Cherry Blossom Manor in Spring Island. You cant do that! A thin old man fell to the ground and watched a group of pirates with wicked faces in the manor, grinding his teeth he struggles to open his mouth. Bang! One foot stepped on the old mans chest and restored him to the ground. The owner of the foot was a fierce wicked pirate with sharp teeth. He looked down at the old man under his feet and smiled fiercely at him. I heard, you dont welcome pirate here? The old man was trampled on and could not answer. That pirate snorted and said: What a joke, do you know what time is it? It is the Great Age of Pirates! Beauty and peace have been ended more than a decade ago! Since it is the greatest manor, you must have a lot of treasures here. If you dont want to die, hand them over! Another pirate, carrying a portable cannon, came to the side and grinned. The old man breathed hard and said, This is The most precious treasure here These cherry trees Ah? What precious treasure is the cherry tree? The two pirate looked at each other and couldnt help but ask again. At the time, there were dozens of pirate wandering in the manor and some people rushed into the villa in the middle of the manor. There was a burst of porcelain cracking in the villa. Quickly a few people came out of it and scolded, Nothing, not even a gold coin, where is the treasure?! After many pirates raged in the Sakura Manor, they all got nothing and quickly gathered under a cherry tree at the entrance to the manor. After many pirates rampaged around the Cherry Blossom Manor, they got nothing and soon gathered under a cherry tree at the entrance of the manor. Captain Bartra looked at the old man guarding the manor with a fierce face and lifted him up by the neck, saying: Damn, where did you hide all your treasures? This there is nothing you want here The old man spoke in a difficult tone and said, Like I I said These are the most precious things here Cherry trees that have grown for hundreds of years Bang! Bartra had a look of anger on his face. He specifically asked about the most famous place on the Island. The answer he received led him to this cherry blossom manor. After running here, there is nothing. There are only cherry trees in the manor? ! I see, you dont want to live! His eyes became extremely indifferent. He threw the old man to the ground. His arm suddenly turned into a silver fluid. In a moment, it solidified into a sword, which reached the old mans neck. The old man breathed hard, but there was no fear in his eyes. He just lay there dying and had no intention of resisting the long sword against his neck. Bartra stared at the old man for several seconds and suddenly grinned. Very good. Is this cherry tree the most precious thing here? Then I will take away your most precious thing! The moment his voice fell, he looked at the men around him and said, Burn it, burn all the trees, dont leave one! The old man, who had been waiting to die, heard this sentence and his eyes opened. He struggled violently to get up and grabbed the sword that Bartras arm had turned into. He said, You You cant do that! The manor is Noisy! Instead of stabbing the old man with a sword, Bartra kicked him away and let him fall into the distance powerlessly. The old man watched as Bartras men began to destroy cherry trees in the manor. Bang! A cherry tree was ignited by the cannonball and burned rapidly. The pink cherry petals turned golden red in the fire, like a sunset that would fade away. The old man struggled to get up to stop it, but his aging body was tortuous, and it was difficult to stand up, so he could only watch the scene with open eyes. Wicked devil you are a wicked demon And just as the old man was about to collapse, a voice suddenly came from a distance. Its a beautiful view. Ross and Laffitte came in from outside the manor. His eyes showed a touch of appreciation. After sweeping the whole cherry manor, they fell on the burning cherry tree. When Ross and Laffitte came in, Bartra and many other pirates saw them and they recognized them. For the first half of Grand Line Supernova, who had a bounty of over 100 million, he knew something about Ross and soon recognized Ross. You are Ghost Hand Ross! And Demon Sherrif. After recognizing Rosss identity, Bartra and others suddenly became serious. In the first half of todays Grand Line, Ross is the number one Supernova! No one thought that they would meet Ross here. Rosss eyes stayed on the burning cherry tree for a few seconds then he looked at Bartra and others and said, It seems a little too luxurious for your funeral. When Bartra heard Ross, his face instantly became gloomy. He knows about the somethings about the Ghost Hand Pirates. They destroy other pirates and they are not afraid of Marines, The only reason Ross would have come here is for his head. Are you looking for me It is not easy to take the head of a pirate who has 160 million berries bounty on his head. Ross smiled faintly. Whiz! Ross, standing there, suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, he had come to Bartra, and his palms fluttered lightly against Bartras chest. The power of distortion suddenly broke out. Bang! Bartras chest was instantly muddy as the spinning Distortion power distorted his whole body, but strangely he did not bleed, his entire body turned into a pale silver liquid. After flowing for a period of time, the liquid quickly rose and converged and became human again. Captain Captain is Unscathed. Seeing this scene, many pirates who had been shocked by Rosss speed, were relieved and grinned a little. So far, only one of the enemies they have encountered can hurt Bartra, but he was defeated in the end by Bartra. Although Rosss bounty is as high as 300 million berries, they still have absolute confidence in the terrifying ability of their Captain. What? Your fame is so great and you are only at this level. Spiral blade! Bartra smiled wickedly and flies out with a sudden wave of his arms and liquefies in mid-air, turning into two swirling blades that tangent to Rosss body. CHAPTER 111 *HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter Ding! Ross raises his hand and sweeps out the two swords. He looks at Bartra with narrowed eyes and said, Paramecia metal attribute fruit? Its an interesting ability. In the intelligence of Kaku and others delivered, there is naturally Bartras specific ability, but Ross did not care and only listened to Bartra having a metal attribute fruit. It now appears that this fruit is like the High-Level version of the Mochi-Mochi Fruit, which resembles the fruit of BIGMOM Pirates Katakuri, It has the ability to turn into a liquid state, somewhat closer to the shape of Logia. This is a very good ability. If it is trained properly, it will become very powerful and may surpass Logia Devil fruit! When he heard Ross, Bartra snorted and grabbed the hook blade arm that flew back to him and smirked at Ross, saying: Interesting? You will see it soon despair! Buzz!! His fist fluidized abruptly into an extremely sharp long gun and with one of his fists, it thrust violently into Rosss chest. Faced with Bartras blow, Ross closed his fingers and fluttered his fist lightly. Bang! The fist and the long gun collided together. Bartra imagination of the long gun running through Rosss fist did not appear. Instead, the long guns began to crumble from the gunshead and broke down all the way, restoring the shape of the arm. Then, under the ravages of the power of distortion, his arm burst open and blood and broken bones splashed around as he flew backward. Ah! Ah!! Bartra looked at his broken right arm and gave a scream. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely stiff. The expressions of those smirking pirates are all fixed on their faces. In the next moment, they were horrified. Captains arm How is it possible?! Hey, Captain are you kidding here, Captain! Quickly recover that arm! Several pirates reached out to Bartra, screaming and rolling and tried to walk, but they were all stiff and unable to take a step. In the field. Rosss eyes flashed with disappointment as he walked towards Bartra. At this level, its a pity that this fruit falls into your hands. No this is impossible Looking at the Ross coming over, Bartras eyes showed sorrow and fear. Rosss fist can actually break his metal form, which is harder than steel and completely destroying one of his arms. How on earth did he do that? A frog at the bottom of the well. Ross said the last word in a tone of indifference, lifting his foot and stepping down. Bartras whole body melted into silver metal liquid, but it was still useless. It burst with blood and broken bones when Ross stepped on it. Moving Weapon Bartra with a bounty of 160 million Berries has been killed and the reward is 40 Talent Proficiency Points. Huh-huh, Im afraid they dont even know what Haki is? They stood no chance. Not far away, Laffitte watched the scene, grinned and walked towards the remaining pirate. The rest of the pirate saw that their Captain has been killed by Ross and they were terrified of Ross and Laffitte and they turned and fled. Sneer! Sneer! Laffittes figure flashed in the field, killing seven or eight pirates in an instant. The remaining pirates scattered to try to escape, but Ross lifted his foot and stepped lightly. The ground rolled and surged, instantly turning into a huge ball of earth and stone, wrapping all the others in it, crushing and erasing them. Crash! After killing all the pirates, Ross raised his hand, rolled over the soil, and threw all the bodies and blood out of the manor. At the same time, it poured into the burning cherry tree, which prevented the fire from spreading. Coughcough The old man of the Manor looked at the scene. His dry eyes became wet. He coughed hard twice and barely stood up. He also recognized Ross and knew that Ross was a pirate, but Ross killed Bartra and others and prevented the fire from spreading. Whatever Ross was, Ross was the benefactor who saved the centuries-old Cherry Blossom Manor. Thank you Youre welcome. Ross looked at the burning cherry tree and asked casually, Are you the only one here? Yes, Im the only one left. The old man nodded and sighed softly. Reaching out and gently picking up a falling cherry tree leaves, Ross shook his head and turned to walk out of the manor and Laffitte quickly followed. Looking at Ross leaving, the old man took a long breath and re-sit back to the ground. Although a tree was destroyed, he managed to keep the manor. Ghost Hand Ross He is totally different from the image of the government report. On the contrary, it is similar to the gossip circulated in the previous period. Thinking of this, the old man shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed. What is Marine and the government trying to do with the world? After destroying Bartra, the main purpose of the trip has been completed, but they needed to stay here for 10 days to store the magnetic waves in Log Pose, Ross temporarily dispersed with Laffitte and others. The scenery on this island is rare and even Laffitte has some interest in cherry blossoms. It seems that there are some fantastic ideas in his head. Five days later. Walking along the cherry blossom street, admiring the scenery and the occasional beautiful girl, the Den Den Mushi in Rosss pocket suddenly rang. After connecting Den Den Mushi, Laffittes dignified voice came from it. Captain, we seem to be in trouble. There are five ships on the West Bank No, six Marine Battleships, large Battleships from Headquarters and they seem to have been ashore for a long time. Six large Battleships! And from Marine Headquarters! Such a force configuration is not comparable to that of Marine of any branch. They appeared on this island and their goal is undoubtedly the Ghost-Hand Pirates. Has they finally arrived, Marines from Headquarters? Hearing Laffittes words, Ross paused and murmured in a low voice, with a flicker in his eyes. Even with Kaku and others as peripheral intelligence networks, even with the speed of the Ghost Shadow Ship, it is impossible to avoid the Marine and the government that has eyes on almost every island. Shall I inquire about the details? Laffitte whispered at the other end of Den Den Mushi. No. Ross shook his head and looked deep into the end of the street. Theyre here This time, our Intelligence is a step behind. I hope we wont meet Marine Admiral. Ross is in a three-way intersection and the entire street has become empty without him knowing. Only the cherry blossoms are scattered silently. Tread! Tread! Tread! No one spoke. The three directions were almost simultaneous filled with dense footsteps. The footsteps came from far and near, clattering together like the last sign before the tsunami, depressed and suppressed. After a few seconds. In the street just ahead of Ross, there appeared a Marine general in Marines Justice Cloak, embroidered with Vice-Admirals epaulets and shaved with a dark purple Mosikan head. Almost at the same time, in the street behind Ross, a general Marine, wearing a brown jacket and a Marine justice cloak, came with a cigar in his mouth and he was wearing a necktie. Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral. Momonga! Cancer! Ross stared indifferently looking at the Marines gathered in silence and spoke into the Den Den Mushi in his hand: Laffitte, you and Robin go to the Ghost Shadow Ship and dont let any Marine break my Ship. After saying this, he hangs the Den Den Mushi and puts Den Den Mushi in his pocket. After a few seconds. From the last direction, Marines came from both sides and a scarred Marine general stepped out of it, forming a triangle with Momonga and Cancer and pinched Ross in the middle. Three Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral gathered on the Cherry Blossom Street. No one spoke, but the atmosphere of the street had become extremely oppressive and it was almost suffocating. In a state of repression. Doberman, who finally appeared, broke the oppressive and solidified atmosphere. He pressed his right hand on his blade and pulled the blade out of the scabbard slowly. At last we met. Ghost hands Ross. At the same time. The news of Marines six Headquarters Battleship appearing in Springs island also spread rapidly to all over the world, attracting numerous forcesattention. Three Headquarters Vice-Admiral, six large Battleship, Marine deployed such terrifying forces, what do they want to do?! Very soon. These forces began to acquire intelligence from various sources, and ultimately the intelligence was The Ghost Hand Pirates appeared on the Spring island a few days ago! It turned out that this was to exterminate the Ghost-Hand Pirates. Six large Battleships from the Headquarters and three Vice Admirals, Marines are serious this time. The atmosphere of the major forces who have heard the news is solemn. No matter how rough the sea is, the government and Marine must not be completely angered. This is the iron rule! Once offended, Marine and the government will come after you with full force and unless you were one of the Four Emperors, there was no way out of the ocean. The most terrifying force on the sea, the government, and Marine who dominated the world, finally showed its magnificence after being repeatedly shaken by the Ghost Hand Pirates. Chapter 111 Headquarters Vice Admiral CHAPTER 112 IMPLEMENTS THE NAME OF JUSTICE! Previous ChapterNext Chapter I didnt expect a Pirate Hunter from West Blue to be able to toss it to the present level, but it will all end here. Dobermans eyes had no mood swings. Ross was his fault, and now hes going to erase it with his own hands. Marines standing behind Doberman did not know the truth of what had happened. They were just looking at something different. They didnt expect Ross to bring three high-ranking Headquarters Vice-Admiral together against him. Unlike the branch Vice-Admiral, Headquarters Vice-Admiral is the real backbone of Marines, which largely represents the limits of ordinary people. As for Admiral and Fleet Admiral, they are on another level. Looking at the whole Marine Headquarters, apart from the retired and semi-retired ones, there are only a dozen or twenty people actually in office, far from the average Vice-Admiral branch. Three Headquarters Vice-Admiral! This is second only to the troop configuration of the legendary Buster Call. For Ross, a 300 million bounty pirate, three Headquarters Vice-Admiral terrifying lineups were mobilized, which is enough to see how much Marines top management attaches to the Ghost Hand Pirates and obviously they do not intend to give them any more opportunities! Qing! Momonga pulled out the blade and stared at Ross. Cancer also pressed one hand on the hilt of his sword and his eyes were cold. The whole street became silent and the Marines from the Headquarters were holding their breaths seeing this scene. Nervous! Depression! In this silent, repressed, volcanic field that was about to erupt, Ross stared at Doberman and said slowly: It was you. In the beginning, he only wanted to be an ordinary Pirate Hunter. He didnt need any orders from his superiors to hunt and kill pirate at will to improve his strength and gradually become stronger and go to the top. But because of Marines pride and Marines so-called face, the easy road with almost no crisis was completely cut off and there was no room for it. Indeed. From Marines point of view, it seems that face and prestige are really important, far more important than a common Pirate Hunter in West Blue. But that Pirate Hunter is him. Give your life for the so-called justice? Dont kid! He is not a saint! Ross never cheats his heart. Between kindness and evil, he chooses neutrality, between chaos and orderliness, he chooses chaos. He is very calm about his position. He never regards himself as so-called kindness and justice, nor does he take pleasure in killing and brutality. After judging Dobermans identity, Ross laughed instead. There was not a trace of anger in that smile, but only a slight irony. I didnt expect it. A West Blue Pirate Hunter that was ordered to be killed in a Marine base killed a Rear Admiral of the West Blue branch, then killed a Headquarters Rear Admiral of West Blue and then killed a Vice-Admiral on the Grand Line Its all very unexpected. Momonga and Cancers face sank. As for Doberman, the finger holding the hilt showed a slight tremor. Even as a Headquarters Vice-Admiral, who had gone through numerous bloody battles, this is a moment when it was somewhat difficult for him to control his emotions. Rosss tone is very dull, but because of this dullness, this sentence pierced into their heart like a sharp weapon and made Dobermans face extremely depressed. This is the last topic he wants to face. Do you remember what I said in the beginning Ross stood there, facing the three Headquarters Vice-Admiral, surrounded by a large number of Marine elites without any expression of fear and panic and spoke in a calm voice. Dobermans fingers holding the hilt of his sword continued to exert force on the hilt of the steel casting and the cigar in the mouth was almost bitten. Enough. Everything will end here! Doberman roared and the broken half of the cigar silently fell to the ground. At the same time, his body turned into a shadow and he was holding his sword with both hands with Armament Haki coating its edges, He attacked Ross with his sword. It is impossible to shake his heart with words. He is a Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral, he has arrested and executed many pirates in his life. The peace of the sea has merit that belongs to him and will never be erased! In any case, from the time Ross cruelly killed Marine, his sins will never be washed away, destroying the Ghost Hand Pirates will be absolute justice! Buzz!! Rosss eyes were calm and indifferent to Dobermans sword. He raised his hand as the Armament Haki surged and converged, instantly forming a black hardening and stimulating the power of distortion. He caught Dobermans sword in mid-air with his bare hands. No. Youre just saying the opposite. Its not the end, its just the beginning. As for the hypocritical justice Rosss eyes were calm as his fingers were pinching Dobermans sword slightly and the power of distortion erupted all the way up. Even though Doberman tried his best to stimulate Armament Haki and harden the blade with black Armament Haki, under Rosss power of distortion, the whole blade began to tremble, and its arms and fingers continued to tremble. Whiz! Just then, Momonga who was behind Ross made his move. His speed was very fast and almost instantly he came behind Ross. The blade in his hand burst into a green sword energy spiral, which ran through Rosss back. Sword flow stab! Looking at Momongas support, Doberman was sure to hold the sword handle with cool eyes and press the blade to Rosss palm without giving Ross a chance to escape. Ross snorted as he held Dobermans sword in his right hand and pushed his left hand in the opposite direction and grasped Momongas blade, shattering the sword energy around Momongas blade in an instant. Zi Zi! Momongas face changed slightly, but he didnt step back. Instead, he concentrated Armament Haki completely on his palm and blade, forming a left-right collision with Doberman. Ross would have suffered Dobermans chopping if he fought against his sword, and his sword if he fought against Dobermans chopping. Marines existence bears the name of absolute justice The last Headquarters Vice-Admiral Cancer, holding a sword that had not yet been pulled out of the scabbard, slowly approached Ross with an indifferent and stern eye. For the people who are afraid of wicked forces, our existence is of great significance. If you do not have justice in your heart, dont criticize Marines justice, boy! Qing! The moment the voice fell, he plucked his sword out of its sheath and cut it at Ross. All three Headquarters Vice-Admiral are top-notch swordsmen. Although their tactics and kendo are slightly different, they are very close in strength. This sword has no fancy sword energy, and all its power is concentrated on the blade, which is easy enough to cut off steel! Back off! Looking at the three Headquarters Vice-Admiral, the rest of the Marine elites did not come forward, but under the command of their captains, quickly retreated, all the way back to dozens of meters away, completely encircling the area. Theres no point in rushing to such a battlefield and there are three Headquarters Vice Admiral here, Ross will be defeated here! CHAPTER 113 1 VS 3 Previous ChapterNext Chapter Well said. There is really no justice in my heart. Watching Cancer slashing with his sword, Ross who was suppressed by Doberman and Momonga in the middle did not panicked but a replied in a gentle tone while both hands violently forced. Buzz!! Power of distortions burst into full swing and pounded on both sides of him. Momonga and Doberman felt a strange force pounding madly on their Armament Hakis defense. Both of them shook their arms and involuntarily retreated. After a move that made two Vice-Admiral retreat, Ross retracted his right hand and converged his five fingers into a fist that was surrounded by the power of distortion, with a vague sense of fury he rushed towards Cancers sword. But, to put your Marine justice on my head, I can only say you pick the wrong person! Bang! Rosss fist and the Cancers sword collided in the air, making a loud sound that instantly tore the earth between them. Under Rosss power of distortion, Cancers face changed. The outbreak of chopping was crushed by Rosss power of distortion as he staggered back by Rosss punch. The power of this guy has reached this level. No wonder Ross could kill Crocodile, Dalmatian and CP9 sent by the government. In the first half of the Grand Line, Ross is indeed a very dangerous existence with such strength. Fortunately, they are here to block him. Otherwise, if he continues to develop, he would have become a terrifying existence in the future! Moon Arc Cut! After Momonga was repulsed, he was first to stabilize his body and attacked Ross. At the same time, Doberman also attacked Ross with his sword, this is not a duel, nor a contest for sword arts, but he is here to carry out the name of justice and crush the wicked criminals. Whatever the process, as long as they can win, it doesnt matter! Three Headquarters Vice-Admiral launched a siege and occasionally the sword energy aftermath cut the streets by dozens of meters in an instant and cut off many cherry trees on both sides and countless cherry blossoms scattered all over the sky. Whiz! Momongas body turned into a shadow as he appeared behind Ross in an instant. Shallow green sword energy emerged from the blade of his hand. He drew an arc in the air and cut it towards Ross. Ross flew up and avoided Momongas sword. Meanwhile, his right five fingers converged into a fist as he punched Doberman making him skid backward by five or six steps as he left several deep footprints in the street. Sneer! Cancer swings his sword and it chops out with sword energy, this sword energy is filled with bloodlust as it strikes towards the lower body of Ross in mid-air. Ross holds up his hand and holds the bloody sword energy in his hand. He rubs his hands together and turns them into a red spiral sword ball. He pushes it towards Momongas back. Qing! Momongas sword was severely chopped on the blood-colored swordball, making a sound loud sound that splashed with sparks. He cut the blood-colored swordball hard, but in the explosion of Rosss power of distortions, he flew backward in an instant. Caresses Cuts! Funeral Song of Blood! Doberman and Cancer joined hands and they jointly switched their swords and cut them out, intersecting in the air, forming a crossed oblique sword energy, sweeping across. Rosss face remained unchanged and when he stepped on the intersection of the cross sword energy, the power of distortion exploded violently, turning the distortion of the cross sword energy pedal into a spiral and it falls apart in mid-air. Gravity Fist! He lifted his foot and slammed into the air and he swooped down as he charged into Momonga, who flew out and his right hand clenched into a fist and the ability of Gravity Distortion suddenly broke out. Momonga could not handle it with a sword. In a hurry, he could only raise his sword upwards. Armament Haki has completely surrounded the sword as he tried to block Rosss fist. Bang! Rosss fist fell and a heavy pressure different from the previous destructive power suddenly erupted that made Momongas body sink in the ground as if it was subjected to great pressure, his legs were instantly embedded in the ground! When Doberman and Cancer saw it, they rushed towards him. They attacked Rosss body with their two swords. Whiz! Ross turned over in midair and turned his right hand into his palm and grabbed Momongas sword blade, he moved his mind and the direction of gravity was changed drastically, from downward to upward in an instant. Momonga was resisting the heavy pressure but suddenly his body felt light and the presser lifted, the sword in his hand was grabbed by Ross and he suddenly has a bad feeling in his heart. In a hurry, he adjusted his body and without retreating he slammed towards Ross with the direction of the gravity distortion. Ross expressionless grabbed the right hand of the sword blade and shook it to the left. He threw Momongas sword towards Cancer and raised his foot to Dobermans sword blade. The three Headquarters Vice-Admiral are almost equal in strength because they are not competent and slightly weaker than Lucci in Leopard form in physique, the strength of Haki and the subtlety of sword arts are far higher than Lucci. And. As the swordsmans attack is more concise than the pure body, the three Headquarters Vice-Admirals chopping is stronger than Luccis in the pure attack. Among the three people, Doberman and Momonga and Cancer, there is no small difference in strength compared with Ross. Even if two of them join hands, they will be easily suppressed and killed by Ross, but the three of them join hands. It almost compensates for most of their defects and they are extremely flexible and adaptable. Rosss attack can knock out one person and the power of distortion can break through the defense of Armament Haki and left the arm numb and useless for some time, but two of them can cooperate with each other and Ross cant crush both of them at the same time. Sword flow, Final Variant! Blood Moon Cut! Death Mourning Sword! Doberman, Momonga, and Cancer, after being shocked back by Ross, stood on the front line. Three men made their sword attack at the same time. The three swords were interlaced in the air and interlaced into a web of sword energy, which covered Ross violently and blocked him in all directions. Rosss eyes surged, he lifted his foot and used Gepp (Moonwalk) and he did not retreat but slammed against the sword energy net with his five fingers clenched and the power of distortion raised to its limit. Buzz!! Rosss punch directly hit the core of the sword energy network. The power of distortions broke out wantonly, which could contain the whole sword energy network. After a slight standstill, the violent power of distortion broke the sword energy network. The broken sword energy splashed everywhere, splitting the branches and petals of cherry trees, and deep ravines appeared on the ground. After the net of sword energy broke, Ross was forced back by two steps. After all, the power of sword energy is a little weaker than that of the sword power attached to Armament Haki. Even if the three people jointly launched the sword energy network, Ross can still break it, but it is still quite powerful. Good cooperation. After breaking the net of sword energy, Ross regained some of his strength and he had almost figured out the strength of the three Vice-Admiral. If he had faced the three Headquarters Vice-Admiral before improving his speed, it would have been extremely difficult, or even almost impossible, to win. But. Now that hes faster than the three, his Observation Haki can clearly capture the movements of the three, plus the power of distortion full-blown attack is also 5 or 6% stronger than any of their attacks. One-on-one is a full-scale suppression and one-on-two is also doable. As for one-on-three Then he has to fight to see the results! CHAPTER 114 SUPERHEATING Previous ChapterNext Chapter Get your hands on it! Cancer looked at Ross indifferently. In fact, Rosss strength shocked him a little. He could even make a left-handed and right-handed dash under the siege of the three of them. If only two people came this time, not to say whether they could defeat Ross, They wouldnt even be able to retreat with their lives. When Aokiji made the three of them join hands, he still felt that they paid too much attention to it. Now, it seems that this decision is undoubtedly correct! You dont have any chance. Dont struggle. Momonga is also looking at Ross, trying to influence Ross with words, as long as Ross can show a little flaw, then the Battle will almost be over otherwise it will play like this, even if they win in the end, it will not be easy. Doberman did not speak, but his fierce eyes also expressed his inner feelings without concealment, and he would never give Ross any chance. The real fight will start now. Ross looked blankly at the three Headquarters Vice-Admiral who surrounded him in the center. Now that he had almost judged the strength of the three Vice Admiral, the real Battle should start! Bang! At the next moment, Ross lifted his foot and the power of distortion poured into the earth. The street with a radius of 100 meters suddenly swayed and instantly made everyone stand on shaky ground. Numerous Marines who surrounded the area dozens of meters away could hardly hold their own. They were in a state of confusion and staggered backward in horror. Ross ignored the other miscellaneous fish. The power of distortion spread from the earth and concentrated on the Momonga trio. The three men swayed and their bodies flew out. Whiz! At very fast speed, a shadow passed through the void. Ross appeared in front of Doberman, clenched his fists and punched out with a violent blow. Doberman spurred Armament Haki, lifted his foot and barely held his body while holding the sword in both hands, using his sword arts with a dignified face, his sword slammed into Rosss fist. Although his heart is full of killing intent, he will not be dazzled by this. Rosss strength is reflected in this short-term confrontation, he alone is not a match for him. Bang! Rosss fist fell and Dobermans blade was instantly contained in the position of the boxing bone. The entire body of the sword buzzed and trembled, even if it was attached to the dark Armament Haki, it still suffered a lot of pressure, the air on both sides of the sword front filled with a vague form of Distortion. After a stalemate for half a second, the ground under Dobermans feet collapsed, his legs were directly embedded in the mud, his forehead turned green as he fought with all his might. Iron-Cutting Sword! Momonga, holding a sword in his hand, rushed towards Ross at the first moment after he had stabilized his figure. He flew through the air with the blade in his hand which seemed to cut through the void. Ding! The power of distortion spread through Rosss left hand, He touches Momongas sword with his hand which produced a loud sound. The blade wrapped with the fierce momentum is stiffly contained in mid-air by Ross. The blade constantly buzzed and trembled but it was unable to go any further. After blocking Momongas sword, Ross suppressed Dobermans fist and violently forced Dobermans half-hard body into the mud, while jumping back to avoid the sword that Cancer had hit from the other side. Bang! After his legs fell to the ground, Ross sank low and Gravity Distortion was displayed violently. The whole earth was instantly centered on him, forming a terrifying motion like a wave. At this time, those Marine elites who had retreated hundreds of meters away were still affected by the aftermath of this force. They were unstable for a while, looking at the large pieces of soil and sand that were constantly breaking up and pulling up from the ground, all showing a certain degree of horror. The earth is cracking, no, its flying. This is the power of Ghost Hand Ross, its terrifying. Even though they are all the elites of Headquarters, they are still shocked by the strength of this level. At least in the face of such strength, they have little to no resistance! No, Vice-Admirals are in the range of this attack. Back off! Dont mess up! Keep the formation, prepare the cannons and Seastone and dont let that pirate escape. Vice-Admirals cant lose to a pirate!! There was Captain of Marine Headquarters shouting loudly and under his command, some of the chaotic Marine regained order and retreated further away. In the field. A huge block of soil with a radius of ten meters or even tens of meters rises from the ground. The cherry trees on it rustle and countless cherry blossoms are scattered in this area. After this huge piece of soil flew up, it began to run across the area, flying randomly with each other, two pieces of mudstone 10 meters in diameter collided together, instantly issued a landslide, countless mudstones wrapped in cherry blossoms were bursting everywhere. Sneer! Sneer! Sneer! Momongas face was repressed as he swung his swords and smashed the huge stones that hit him, but at this moment, Rosss figure suddenly appeared in front of him with his fist swinging towards him. Bang! Momonga raised his sword to resist the attack, but he could not resist the power of Ross. In the air, he was thrown out by Rosss punch and his back slammed into a mudstone with a diameter of ten meters. The mud was instantly tumbling, as if it were alive and swallowed Momongas body and made a chewing sound, trying to crush him directly. Kch! Kch! The next moment, there were cracks on the mudstone, the crack overflowed with a blue light that spread to the whole rock and eventually completely broke up, revealing Momongas awkward figure. The ability of this guy he can even manipulate gravity, be careful! He wiped a handful of sand from his face and shouted vigilantly. By this time, Doberman had already been in big trouble. He had been punched by Ross and half of his leg was embedded in the soil. When Ross was able to mobilize, he was the first to be swallowed by the cracked soil. Despite the armor of Armament Haki which was not damaged by the power of distortions contained in the soil, Rosss blow came to his head when the mud that sealed him was broken. Bang! In a hurry, Doberman could only fight with a sword. He was hit by Rosss punch and fell from the sky and hit the already destroyed ground and created one more crater on it. Dont be too crazy! Cancer watched as Ross charged towards Doberman who was on the ground and shouted angrily as he came from one side to support him and swung his sword at Ross. Ross kicked him back a few steps. Momonga rushed down from above using Gepp (Moonwalk) and slammed into Rosss back. CHAPTER 115 DARK PRISONER’S CAGE Previous ChapterNext Chapter QING! Ross avoided the attack and his figure created an arc as he charged into the ground below, the power of distortion dispersed from the ground. The soil gradually lost control and began to crumble and fall to the ground. Meanwhile, Rosss power of distortion was once again poured into the ground. Bang Rumble! Doberman, who was trying to struggle out of the earth, was wrapped in huge pieces of soil that were tens of meters long and flew up into the sky, colliding with the falling debris. Bang! Bang! Bang! Like the sound of heavy artillery, the sound of continuous explosion echoed in the air as the soil splashed everywhere, the cherry blossoms and dust filled the sky, Momonga and Cancers face were somewhat ugly as both of them charged towards Ross. Ross turned around and punched his left hand and his right hand at the same time, slamming into a Momonga and Cancer that had attacked him from left and right. Bang! At the same time, resisting a hard blow from the two men, Ross staggered and flew out toward the rear. He retreated more than ten meters in a row before he could stop. There was also a slight bloodstain on both fists, but it was not serious, just skin injury. Crash! The huge rocks in the sky finally broke up and fell down again, forcing Momonga and Cancer to retreat toward both sides. Among the huge stones, white sword energy overflowed from one of them before it was torn apart. Dobermans figure shook out of it. The cloak of justice was already fragmented and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth. Damn You He gritted his teeth and looked at Ross. Five fingers clasped the handle of his sword as he rushed towards Ross. Momonga and Cancer looked at each other and charged toward Ross from left and right. They joined hands with Doberman again. The power of distortion in Ross was boiling and he was recovering. He hummed softly as his figure turned into a shadow. He retreated backward and the bloodstains on his fists healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Physical Enhancement, It not only strengthens the body but also gives a partial self-healing ability. Naturally. In the General department, there is also the talent of Resilience for self-healing ability, but Ross did not activate it in order to save Free Talent Points. After successively avoiding the attacks of Momonga and others and tearing apart the sword energy released by the three people, Ross calmed down and took a deep breath before rushing up against the three Vice Admirals. The Power of distortion is released again and spreads in all directions. This time it is not Gravity Distortion, but Light Distortion and the Distortion sound developed by Ross himself! Insect Dark Stream! Buzz!! Suddenly, with Ross as the center, the 50-meter radius area was suddenly covered by the dark sky and the light completely disappeared. Momonga and Doberman lost sight directly and there was a continuous Buzz in their ears! Only the sound remained as if countless crickets were squeaking in their ears. What is that?! The whole area has become dark and I cant hear any other sound then insect chirping. The Marines, who retreated farther away, looked at the dark curtain with a radius of nearly fifty meters that suddenly appeared on the scene. They were shocked and didnt know what was going on. In the dark cage which was 50 meters in radius, Monmonga and other Vice Admirals were stunned and surprised. I cant see anything and I cant hear anything The three of them had a headache about Rosss ability to make so many troublesome changes and at the same time, they immediately calmed down and used their Observation Haki to capture Rosss actions. Losing sight and hearing completely, Observation Haki can capture Rosss movements but it is a little troublesome, plus they are three people, So Observation Haki not only needs to captures Rosss actions, but they also need to capture their peers actions. Otherwise, there will be no cooperation. But. Even so, it is still very difficult for Ross to form a perfect match with the previous one. Under the shadow of the dark cage, Ross is like a fish in the water, constantly running around, while attacking the three people recklessly. It seems that three people work together against Ross, but it seems that they are surrounded by Ross. Bang! Bang! In the absence of timely support from Momonga and Doberman, Cancer took two ofRosss punches in a row, his arms were numb and he had to retreat to the rear, standing between Momonga and Doberman. After shaking off Cancer, Ross opened his eyes in the darkness. Suddenly, he grasped the handle of Happy Spring at his waist, drew it out of its sheath and swung it out. Watch out! Momonga keenly captured Rosss movements and immediately sipped a low voice, but his voice was completely covered by the constant buzzing sounds and could not be transmitted to Doberman at all. Fortunately, both Doberman and Cancer have Observation Haki by which they were able to capture Rosss movements, but Rosss attack still gave them instant headaches. Observation Haki is also graded. The vast majority of people can only capture the enemys movements by utilizing Observation Haki and cant really replace their visual and hearing senses through it Unless they can achieve the foresight ability of Observation Haki and the three Vice Admirals has not reached that level. Moreover. Their abilities are not exactly the same, Momonga Observation Haki and Armament Haki are both more proficient, while Doberman is better at Armament Haki and Cancer is better at Observation Haki. Such a difference makes them unable to form effective cooperation in this situation where they have lost their senses of seeing and hearing. Even their actions have been delayed, fearing that their attacks will be exploited by Ross and injuring their peers instead. Qing! Qing! In the midst of chaos, who knows whose sword is fighting whose sword, there is absolutely no sound or vision, the only thing the three can rely on is Observation Haki. Ross is not very knowledgeable about sword arts, nor does he rely on the sword. He pulls out the sword just to create more chaos and create more trouble for Momonga. Damn it. No sound, no vision, and constant buzzing in their ears! In the confusion, Momonga was almost hit by Dobermans sword energy, although he barely escaped, he was caught by Ross after avoiding Dobermans attack, who punched him causing him to fly backward and almost made him lose his sword. We cant go on like this, we have to form some sort of defense against him. Cancer was a little anxious, but in such a situation, he could not hear Doberman and Momonga and was in a state of complete inability to communicate. It is difficult for them to form a back-to-back defense. They can only be swayed by Ross in the chaos, and he was constantly diverging and finding flaws in their attacks. For a time, they were suppressed by Ross! CHAPTER 116 *HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter This ability should not directly affect our eyes and ears Something is wrong Momonga forced himself to settle and a thought flashed in his mind. As he gritted his teeth, he quickly retreated toward the rear. He soon felt that his eyes could see and the Buzz in his ear disappeared as he left the dark cage. Sure enough, this ability only works within a certain range. Momongas eyes flashed a ray of light. Whiz! Whiz! After noticing that Momonga had retreated far away, Doberman and Cancer both came to their senses and moved further away. The three men retreated from the dark cage one after another, but they soon found that retreating from that dark area had no effect when Ross is coming towards them. The dark cage is centered on Rosss position and even if they are out of the cage, the dark cage will still move with Ross and will change its position. If they want to fight Ross, they have to go in the Dark Cage. And. Ross is faster than them. Even if three of them retreat in three different directions, Ross only needs to chase one and attack him which will create even more flaws. Sure enough, we still have to form some defense against him inside that cage. Doberman and Moognga all know how to fight in the constant confrontation, but Ross did not sit by and watch them form that kind of corner defense situation but continues to rush left and right, destroying the alliance of the three. Bang! Bang! Bang! Various sounds echoed from the Dark Cage and the Marines were shocked seeing sword energies coming from the battlefield from time to time and leaving cracks on the ground. No one knows how long it took but the dark cage gradually dissipated, revealing four figures. Doberman, Momonga, and Cancer are standing in a corner. They are still in constant confusion and confrontation. They are standing defensively against Ross. Thats why Ross no longer spends stamina to maintain the dark cage and let it dissipate. HuHu Both the Vice Admiral trio and Ross are breathing heavily. At the moment, Rosss shirt was tattered and there was a wound of about ten centimeters long on his left shoulder, blood stained a shirt and blood dripping on his fist, but most of the wounds are skin wound and there were no deep wounds. Compared to Ross, the three Vice Admirals are in a difficult position. Momonga looked at Ross with a sullen look. His left hand was hanging beside him. His entire arm was constantly shaking and it seemed that he could not use it in a short time. How are you? He asked Cancer. Cancer looked at his bloody right arm and shook his head as bones pierced through the flesh and blood. My right arm is out of use for the time being and I cant use my full powered sword arts. Cough! Cough! Doberman coughed violently. Blood spilled from one side of his mouth and his clothes were covered with blood and stones. None of them expected that their fight with Ross will lead to such a situation. Although Ross was injured, it was much lighter than them. He is Powerfull Doberman gritted his teeth and showed anger in his eyes. In the strange dark cage just now, every move is extremely grievous and they were passively beaten and they could only defend themselves fromRosss attacks. Ross is an excellent experienced fighter as it is clear that even with their numbers advantage, they have lost the power to attack actively. His stamina will empty soon, He cant keep using these attacks without some sort of pressure on his body. Momonga looked at Ross calmly and said, Hes Devil Fruit user. Its bound to take a lot of stamina to maintain that thing. Dont give him a chance to breathe. Cancer took a deep breath and nodded while looking coldly at Ross, his left hand holding the sword suddenly tightened and he attacked Ross with his sword energy. Whiz! Whiz! At the same time, Momonga and Doberman shouted loudly and rushed up from left and right. As Headquarters Vice-Admiral who had experienced countless fights, their battle instincts are good. Although their injuries are serious now, Ross staminas consumption must be more serious! If they were replaced by ordinary Pirates, the pirates would have to give up on their dreams and live the rest of their lives as cripple because they could only rely on themselves, but for Marines the situation is different, with the government and Headquarters as a strong backup, as long as they could win, everything would be all right! Sure enough. Faced with the pursuit of the three, Ross no longer exerted the ability of the dark cage but used the ability of Gravity Distortion to avoid the three peoples frontal attack. Single Sword Flow, Water Cutting Blade! Momongas eyes flashed and he suddenly gave a low cry. His trembling left hand barely reached over and grabbed the handle with his right hand. A blue light flashed over the blade, converged at the tip of the blade and swept out at Ross. This sword directly split out a huge sword energy of about tens of meters and it was very solid. It broke through the air and flew directly to Ross in mid-air. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick)! Cancer gave a low cry and jumped, kicking four or five chops to block Rosss escape, while the sword in his left-hand slammed into Rosss chest. Ross was expressionless as he put his hand on Momongas huge sword energy. The sword energy displayed some elastic characteristics as it slanting from the side of Ross. Then. Ross punched and broke Cancers four or five tempest energy kick. At the same time, his fist matched with Cancers sword causing the Vice Admiral to retreat. But just then, Doberman rushed up again not giving Ross a chance to breathe as he needed to kill Ross here. Far away. Numerous Marines looked at this scene and their hearts were waving like waves. The Vice-Admirals are injured Ghost Hand Ross is also injured. He is Paramecias Devil Fruit. The more he uses his Devil Fruit, the more stamina he will consume. It should be over soon. A lot of people murmured nervously, some glanced at them with open mouths, while others dialed Den Den Mushi and contacted several Headquarters Rear Admiral who are protecting the Battleships and told them to come and reinforce the Vice-Admirals. On the field. Rosss stamina is near its end and the wound on his shoulder affected his actions. Under the aggressive attack of Doberman and others, he was constantly pushed back. Its really troublesome. He constantly resists the attacks of Doberman and others and there is a slight fluctuation in his eyes. These Headquarters Vice-Admirals are not only strong but their battle senses are also sharp. Looking at three Headquarters Vice-Admiral who were trying to make him use his stamina, Ross took a deep breath and his eyes shone cold. I didnt want to spend my Free Talent Points but my stamina and fitness are still lacking if I want to defeat these three Headquarters Vice-Admirals. Bang! Ross blocked the attacking Momonga with a punch, showed a little decisiveness on his face, and moved his mind to evoke the Talent System. System! Activate the General talentTenacious! Chapter 116 Talent Tenacious CHAPTER 117 *HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter A translucent system interface appeared in front of Ross and he switched to the Talents Tree of the General Department. As his mind moved, the branch named Tenacious was instantly activated in the branch of Physical Enhancement and then he put 40 Talent Proficiency Points he obtained by killing Bartra. Buzz!! Instantly, a warm current flowed from Rosss heart and through his whole body. His muscles, which had become somewhat weak due to overuse were rejuvenated. The bloody wound on his shoulder, which had not yet scabbed, began to heal at a faster rate. As for the scabs on his fist, they were constantly falling off and recovering. Bang! Ross shouted angrily and he clenched his left hand and punched Dobermans sword which resulted in Doberman flying backward. ??? Doberman thought that Rosss stamina was completely exhausted, so where does this strength come from which caused him to fly back and even made his arms numb. He wants to make a final struggle. Dont let him escape! Cancer was also slightly surprised by Rosss sudden burst of power but quickly responded, shouting a warning to Doberman and Momonga. The three men took a deep breath and all took their strongest defensive measures. They didnt intend to give Ross any chance to break through and rushed out. Central Place. The heat flow in Ross is slowly receding. This heat has been strengthening his self-healing ability and he has recovered a lot of his stamina. With the talent of Tenacious, even if the power of distortion is overloaded, there is no need to fear serious unrecoverable injuries. His slightly closed eyes slammed open as he took a deep breath and looked at the three Vice Admirals who were rushing towards him, he slightly grinned and with a single thought, the power of distortion in his body broke out. The last struggle? No, no, no, youre wrong. This will decide the final outcome! Take it! Bang! Bang! Bang! The power of distortion broke out as he directly punched Doberman and Momonga and he kicked Cancer on his chest. Dark prison! Meteorite array! In the next moment, the dark prison and the cracked earth filled with sand and gravel was manipulated by Ross and the area with a radius of sixty or seventy meters fell into darkness in an instant. In the darkness, the earth breaks apart and rolls over and strikes in a chaotic way, like a meteorite belt in the sky. Damn it how could he still have the strength to do In the darkness, Dobermans pupils violently contracted and his Observation Haki caught an attack coming from the front and he slammed his sword to defend against it. Bang! Under Rosss punch, he flies backward directly. His flighting route just ushered with two pieces of sand and stone more than ten meters in diameter which were squeezed in the middle and the rubble splashed in all directions and blood gushed out violently, dyeing the nearby stones red. Sensing that Doberman was in danger, Momonga and Cancer both screamed and rushed to support him, but Momonga was blocked by flying stones and had to make a path with his sword. Cancer alone rushed over in the dark. Ross looked at Cancer indifferently. He was the only person who could ignore the limitations of the dark cage because it was his own ability. Cancer cant hear Ross. Bang! A single full powered punch caused Cancer to flew out and the sword in his hand could no longer withstand the power of distortion and it broke from the middle. Of the three, Cancer was the most seriously injured. After his right arm was almost destroyed, his left hand was half weakened further with the loss of his sword and at least 30 or 40% of his strength was cut off. He was no longer capable of confronting Ross and at most, he will be able to restrain Ross for a few seconds. Impossible How could he still have such power When Cancer flies backward, his face becomes a little distorted. Its not unreasonable to believe that Rosss stamina was almost exhausted, How could he explode with such power. But no matter how unbelievable things are, they are placed in front of him. He flew out and landed in the chaotic rocks like an insect caught on the table. He was hit everywhere by countless rolling balls and his blood spurted out and stained the ground around him red. The outside world. Rosss sudden burst of power shocked all Marine. Is it not over yet? It was at this time that Rear Admiral Strawberry and another Rear Admiral arrived from a distance. A total of six Headquarters Rear Admiral were dispatched, three people were going to deal with Robin, Laffitte, and others, while the other three were on standby. After receiving information about current circumstances, one of the three was left behind on the ship to guard it and the other two quickly came over. What is that? Strawberry looked at the Dark Cage and asked. A Marine Captain next to him, recovered from him dismay and quickly explained to Strawberry what had just happened and described the entire battle process. So, It has the ability to isolate sound and vision Listening to Marines Captain explanation, Strawberry nodded and looked at the dark cage. He shook his head and laughed bitterly. Dobermans orders were conveyed in the beginning, but who could have imagined that it would cause such trouble in the future? Fortunately. It will all end here, the three Vice-Admirals are here and the other Ghost Hand Pirates are blocked on the island, it is almost impossible for them to get away. At the next moment, the dark cage in the field dispersed and light gradually returned to the dark area. Its over. The Rear Admiral watched the darkness fade and took a deep breath with cold eyes. But. Almost at the next moment, his and Strawberry, as well as the expressions of the many Marines in the room all solidified on their faces. The land in the field was already fragmented, It looked like a farmland that has been plowed many times. In this terrible battlefield, Cancers body was lying on a piece of gravel and his face seemed to have an unbelievable look. Doberman and Momonga, respectively, fell on both sides. Momonga leaned on his sword and barely stood. He gasped violently. Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth and his arms trembled constantly. On the other side, Doberman leaned back against a raised rock and barely stood, his chest was collapsing as he struggled to breathe. Unacceptable! At this moment, he could not accept the result of Battle in his heart! I didnt want to become a pirate. You forced me to become one. The sentence repeated by his subordinates seemed to have changed into Rosss voice, which echoed in his ears as if he had seen Ross say it indifferently in the blood and bones of West Blue. Did he decide the future direction of this sea? Dont make jokes!! Doberman coughed violently, his eyes were trance, angry, regretful and so on. All kinds of emotions erupted constantly and finally converged into a hoarse roar. You no faith no justice Even if you grow up to the present strength, its just an accident. Every pirate wants to dominate the future direction of this sea Dont be kidding by telling me that it was I who decided the future direction of this sea! Ross stood there, slightly gasping, recovering his depleted stamina. He looked at Strawberry and another Headquarters Rear Admiral who were coming towards him and his eyes returned to Doberman and he said. Well, you just watch. At least today, you couldnt make me fall here. Stimulating the remaining strength in his body, Ross displayed Gravity Distortion and floated up before crossing an arc in the sky as he flew away. Strawberry and another Rear Admiral looked at the scene and their fingers on the hilt of their sword couldnt help but squeeze, but they didnt dare to pull their sword to stop Ross. Doberman lost consciousness, leaving only Momongga still standing there. He gasped violently until Ross flew away and spoke to Strawberry and the Rear Admiral with great difficulty. You should stop him When the Rear Admiral heard Momonga words his face changed slightly and he shook his fist and said, I will chase him! Dont go. Momonga sat down slowly and watched the Rear Admiral before shaking his head and said, The best opportunity has been missed, now we cant do anything Having said that, he coughed twice and looked at Cancers body and he also looked towards Doberman whose life and death were unknown to him with a bitter bitterness on his face. Give orders to retreat. Vice-Admiral Momonga They looked at Momonga with slight astonishment. Momonga shook his head slowly and said, No more forced combat. It will only increase casualties and fail to defeat Ghost Hand Ross. The result of this encirclement and suppression is obvious, We failed. Great Age of Pirates on 13 June. The Marine fleet, led by three Headquarters Vice-Admiral, met the Ghost Hand Pirates in Springs island, where Vice Admiral Cancer died and Marine fleet collapsed. The news came out and shocked the world! Chapter 117 Disastrous Defeat CHAPTER 118 RETREAT ORDERS Previous ChapterNext Chapter Three Headquarters Vice-Admirals are really hard to deal with. Far away from the battlefield where he fought against the three Vice Admirals, Ross quickly landed on the ground, slightly staggering and muttering when he landed. At this time, the wounds on his shoulder and the wound on his fist had all healed up and almost all the bloody condensed blood had fallen off, but his forehead was covered with a drip of fine sweat stains due to excessive consumption of stamina. Doberman, Momonga, and Cancer were recently promoted Headquarters Vice-Admiral and there was still a slight gap between their strength and that of a veteran Vice-Admiral who had at least 9 years of experience, If they were veteran Vice Admirals then Ross would not have won even if he activated his Tenacious talent. Even to the extent that. If they were senior Headquarters Vice-Admiral, then two of them would have been sufficient to completely subdue Ross. Anyway, I was able to defeat them this time. Ross slowly walked towards the shore where Ghost Shadow Ship was. The last bloody battle with Momonga and others had almost exhausted the part of stamina that had risen after he had activated the Tenacious talent. Otherwise, he would not have noticed that the two Headquarters Rear Admirals were approaching and escaped directly. Headquarters Rear Admiral is still eligible to intervene with Vice-Admirals Battle. Ross pushed himself to his limit to win this fight, if the Momonga and others have brought two additional Headquarters Rear Admiral, then the outcome of the battle would have been very different. Naturally. With Gravity Distortions flying ability and his slightly faster speed than that of three Headquarters Vice-Admirals, Ross immediately escaped with the help of his ability once he senses that he has no chance of winning. Three Headquarters Vice-Admiral cant stop him with flying ability at all. As for the activation of the Tenacious talent, this is also within Rosss budget. He thought about whether to activate this talent a long time ago, but it has not been implemented. Physical Enhancement is one of the three main talents of the General Department, which is a comprehensive enhancement of the body, while Tenacious is a talent branch under the Physical Enhancement. Compared to Physical Enhancement, Tenacious specializes in the stamina and resilience, It provides a big stamina boost to Ross and it is also capable of bearing Distortion power overload and healing Ross of any hidden injuries! There was no system sound in his ear that indicates to defeat of Marines and he didnt get any rewards. Ross shook his head and felt his stamina recovering little by little. He took a deep breath and walked forward. On the coast. The Ghost Shadow Ship is quietly docked on a sandy beach. On the side of the Ghost Shadow Ship, there are a lot of Marine soldiers lying on the ground. The Battle here is still intense. Marines three Headquarters Rear Admirals led a group of elite Marines and they are fighting against Laffitte and others, although the Marines side had lost a lot of soldiers, the current situation is very unfavorable for Laffitte and others. Both Laffitte and Robin have the ability to be fearless of ordinary army tactics. Marine initially swarmed in and suffered a big loss, but the three Headquarters Rear Admirals are not just simple Marines. Whiz! Whiz! Laffitte is moving like a ghost and at the same time he occasionally fires his guns to support Robin as he fought a Headquarters Rear Admiral. Robin struggled under the attack of a Headquarters Rear Admiral. This Rear Admiral is a pure-body type powerhouse and not a swordsman. The advantage is that he is not a big threat to her Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi). But the disadvantage is that she cannot defeat him by using her Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi). On the other side. Trafalgar Law joined forces with Xilu to fight the last Headquarters Rear Admiral. Xilu is a sailor brought by Ross from the Sky island. He has Observation Haki and strong physique. He uses an axe as a weapon and can withstand the attack of the Headquarters Rear Admiral with Laws ability as support. However. Law is too young and even if he is only supporting from the side and not fighting the frontal combat, he is breathing heavily and his forehead overflows with sweat. He took a deep breath and turned his wrists. Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits ability was activated. He suddenly swapped the Headquarters Rear Admiral location with the sand next to Xilu, causing the Headquarters Rear Admiral to receive Xilus big axe. Qing! The Headquarters Rear Admiral, with a cold gaze, blocked the big axe with his sword which resulted in him staggering slightly and then he suddenly attacked Law with his sword energy. The sword energy cut a crack more than ten meters in length on the beach and Law did not hesitate to re-stimulate his ability to avoid the chop, but the sweat on his forehead was increasing. If it drags on like this, it will be more and more disadvantageous He looked at the battlefield with great dignity. Robin and his side fought bitterly. If Laffitte hadnt intervened from time to time and provide some help, they would have been defeated a long time ago and this continuous support also made it difficult for Laffitte to defeat the Headquarters Rear Admiral quickly. Its all so hard here, Rosss troubles are probably even bigger. Laws heart sank to the bottom. He was indeed close to his revenge on Rosss ship but the danger he encountered also increased a lot. Originally, he dealt with some bounty hunters at most, but now he was confronted with Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral, a character of this rank is someone he cannot defeat! If not for the abilities of Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit, he would not even have the qualification to intervene in this fight. Whiz! Whiz! Three Headquarters Rear Admirals kept attacking, forcing Robin and others to resist passively. Only Laffitte could spare his hands, but he could not deal with three Headquarters Rear Admirals alone. And just as the situation became more and more unfavorable, Robins Rear Admiral, who was trying to suppress Robin suddenly heard the sound of the Den Den Mushi in his pocket. Huh? His brows were slightly wrinkled and his fists slightly paused. Instead of taking out Den Den Mushi, he tapped his pocket directly. Rear Admiral Jon, whats the situation there? Its almost over. Jon responded quietly as he kicked a chop at Robin. Not finished yet?! A repressed and low voice came from the Den Den Mushi. After a pause, the voice became serious and said: Vice-Admiral Momonga has given his orders, everyone will retreat immediately! The voice came from Jons pocket and was clearly captured by Robin and Laffitte, who were present. Whoop Laffitte was a little stunned and he did not know what to think, But after some time the corner of his mouth was raised in a strange curve and Robins slightly dignified and tense expression was also slightly relieved. Jon and two other Rear Admiral heard the voice and all of them were stunned. Hey, what the hell are you saying? We will be able to defeat them in under a minute. Why are you telling us to retreat? Is this really Vice-Admiral Momongas command?! CHAPTER 119 COLD FEELING Previous ChapterNext Chapter Den Den Mushis voice paused, seemingly hesitating, but did not explain the reasons for the retreat, but solemnly exclaimed: Do you want to question Vice-Admirals orders? The news that three Vice-Admiral had been defeated by Ghost Hand Ross would be a devastating blow to Marines morale and he dared not announce it to the battlefield where Jon and others were. Jon listened to the harsh voice coming from the Den Den Mushi, but he could not help staring in place, somewhat confused for a while and looked towards his other two companions. Both of them also showed a trace of confusion. Retreating at this time will give the Ghost Hand Pirates a chance to breathe and they may even escape by their ship, Their ship is extremely fast and once they sail at the sea, Marines will not have any chance to capture them. Obey orders and withdraw! Although he didnt know what was going on, one of the Rear Admiral took a deep breath after a few seconds of silence and he was quite clear about the seriousness of the crime of disobeying orders. Jon and the other man looked at each other and saw each others eyes. After biting his teeth, he looked at Robin who was standing not far away. His muscles were tense and he took a big step forward. At least let me capture the Devil Child Whiz! He used his full power to attack Robin, He was planning to knock her unconscious with a single attack and then capture her. Robins eyes were fixed, her hands crossed in front of her chest and countless arms emerged forming a huge palm blocking Jon. Bang! However, the huge palm was only a slight hindrance and was crushed by Jons punch turning into countless petals, Jon then rushed toward Robin. ROOM! Not far from the situation, Law saw Robins situation and the demon knife in his hand moved as he used his abilities to try and save Robin, but as soon as his ability was released, a sign of collapse appeared and his ability collapsed. At the same time, Laws body also involuntarily fell to the front and he instantly fell to the ground in a kneeling position, barely clenching his sword for support. Did I over consumed my stamina? He felt the heavy feeling coming from his body and looked up at Robin. Whiz! Fortunately, Laffitte was there. He dodged and came to Robin, waving a red stick and stopped Jon. Whoop, if you hurt Miss Intelligence, Captain would be furious. Jons face became gloomy as he watched Laffitte defending Devil Child and his companions did not deal with Laffitte. Captain? Your Captain, Im afraid hes been escorted to Battleship now! After that, Jon shook his head and was ready to turn around. His companions were not going to do help him and he could not deal with Laffitte alone and catch Devil Child. But at this time. He suddenly realized that something was wrong. Robin put her arms down and Laffitte took back this red cane and the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, both of them were looking at something behind him. Not only Robin and Laffitte but also Law who was half kneeling on the ground and Xilu, with a huge axe, looked behind him. Law breathed softly, while Xilu grinned. In the eerie silence. Jon turned his head bit by bit and looked in the direction that Robin and others were looking at. At the end of the line of sight, on the beach about 100 meters away, a figure appeared and was walking slowly towards them. Jons pupils shrank sharply when he saw the figure. He stuck in his voice with an impossible sound, and a cold feeling rose from his back. Its not just Jon Even his two companions, as well as the rest of Marines soldiers, stared at the figure that came along, with an incredible look on their faces. Although the figure was slightly beaten up and there were blood spots on his body, but he was recognized by almost everyone here, he is the reason that they came here for Ghost Hand Ross! How is it possible, Werent the Vice-Admirals containing him? How could he appear here, What happened to the Vice-Admirals?! Jons face changed dramatically. At the same time. The other two Rear Admirals were also shocked. They suddenly thought of the inexplicable retreat orders. If Ross escaped from the encirclement, Vice-Admirals would definitely chase him and remind them to be careful about Ross and stop Ross. But now, Ross is here and what they receive here is not a careful and blocked order, but an order to retreat immediately. What does this mean? The three Rear Admiral didnt dare to think further. They only felt that a cold feeling spread all the way from the soles of their feet to the top of their head. Looking at Ross who was slowly walking towards them, three Headquarters Rear Admiral felt a little depressed and Marines felt a heavy pressure on his body. Retreat! Retreat! No one knows who shouted but many Marines responded immediately and fled. Jons heart beat violently several times, but he also retreated and rushed out trying to follow his two companions. But. Just as he tried to escape, the beach in front of him suddenly picked up like a wave and swept across him. Jons speed dropped sharply as his head crashed into the sand. He was shocked and struggled hard. He rushed out of the sand and headed upward on Geppo(Moonwalk). But just then Rosss figure appeared in front of him, floating in mid-air, looking at him with indifferent eyes. !!! Jon only felt a violent shock on his body and his heart felt like it would jump out from his chest, his whole body turned cold and he almost fell directly from the air. In horror, he used Gepp (Moonwalk) to escape Ross but Rosss fist has already fallen on him. Armed Tekkai (Iron Body)! Jon roared and utilized Tekkai (Iron Body) from Marines Rokushiki to its limit, along with Armament Haki and he raised his arms to try to block Rosss blow. Bang! Ross punched between his arms and a terrifying force rushed down tearing apart Jons defense. Even a Headquarters Vice-Admiral, such as Momonga struggled to resist Rosss Fist head-on and had to be back off to avoid it, not to mention a Headquarters Rear Admiral. CHAPTER 120 FRONT ROAD Previous ChapterNext Chapter Bang! Jon fell from the sky, accompanied by blood and slammed on the beach, hitting the beach and creating a human-shaped crater as numerous rocks splashed around. The other two Headquarters Rear Admiral saw this scene from far away and their heart was filled with horror and fear. They didnt even dare to came and rescue their comrade and fled in the distance. One move to defeat Jon! Even Vice-Admirals of Headquarters cant do it. Ghost Hand Ross is so powerful that it is hard to believe that he was just a small Pirate Hunter in the West Blue two years ago. Ross did not look at the other two Rear Admiral who had escaped. With his hands on his back, Ross floated back to the beach and headed for the boat. He felt a little stir and movement in the pit behind him. Its for you, Laffitte. Okay, Captain. Laffitte grabbed the brim of his hat and saluted Ross and then turned his cane towards the human pit. Ross, with his hands on his back, slowly climbed onto Ghost Shadow Ship and disappeared from the publics eyes. Robin smiled slightly and instantly relaxed. Not far away, Law breathed, sat on the beach and gasped. In a place where they cant see. Ross, who had just stepped into the cabin, stumbled and almost fell down. He barely stood on the bulkhead and restored a little stamina. He was almost empty on stamina just now. Otherwise, he would not leave the follow-up to Laffitte. No one can see it. Ross gasped violently for two times, then swayed back to his room, retreated from the cabin door and fell on the bed. It was the moment he opened the door that a familiar voice came to his ears. The Marine Headquarters fleet has been defeated and you are rewarded with 50 Talent Proficiency Points. When Ross heard this sound, he could not help slightly twitching his lips. As a matter of fact, the system would not drill any holes for him. Even if three Headquarters Vice-Admiral were defeated, they would still be settled according to a Vice-Admiral reward as long as they belonged to the same queue. Plus the Vice-Admiral award, which had been awarded once before, halved to 50. Well, forget it. Previously, he was worried that this time the system would judge that Marine fleet had not been defeated. So he would gladly take the 50 Proficiency Points. He only gained 40 Proficiency Points when he defeated his last pirate. With that in mind, Rosss mind moved and the system Interface appeared in front of him and after a little thought, he put 10 Proficiency Points in the General Departments Tenacious. The golden light flashed and the General panel changed subtly. Agility Enhancement: 200 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 350 (Top Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 50 (Mid Level Strengthening) The Tenacious talent was originally at 40 Proficiency Points and now with additional 10 Proficiency points, it directly broke through to the level of Mid Level Strengthening and instantly made Rosss stamina and resilience strengthen again. Compared to the two major talents of Physical Enhancement and Agility Enhancement, Tenacious Maximum Value is only 200 proficiency Points, while Physical Enhancement and Agility Enhancement Maximum Value are 500 points. In the Talent System, the highest Maximum Value belongs to the Distortion Fruit, which requires 1000 proficiency points, while Physical Enhancement and Agility Enhancement require 500 points respectively. As for others like Tenacious, Armament Haki, etc., Their Maximum Value is 200 points. Hu. After the Tenacious talent reached Mid Level Strengthening, Ross noticeably felt a lot more comfortable with his heavy body. After a slight heat flow flowed through his body, he lay there, his limbs gradually recovered and the side effects from overloading his Devil Fruit Power were gradually washed away. I dont know if I will get an Immortal body like that of Hundred Beast Kaido when Tenacious reached Maximum Value Ross touched his chin and thought. Tenacious alone should not be enough. Physical Enhancement should also be full and his basic physique has to be further improved for him to reach the physique of Hundred Beast Kaido. Looking at Talent Systems Interface, after a little thought, Ross put all the remaining 40 proficiency points in the Distortion Fruit. Now he can overuse his power of the distortion fruit with the help of Tenacious talent, It is not necessary for him to upgrade his physical fitness this time, He will be able to bear the 40 Point increase in the power of the distortion fruit. Buzz!! A golden glow flashed, and Distortion Fruits proficiency reached 445. After the upgrade, the full power of distortion obviously exceeds Rosss current physical body, but he has the Tenacious talent, as long as the gap is not very large, even if his body is overloaded with the power of distortion, he can gradually recover. Next time, A Admiral will come after me. Ross turned over and looked at the ceiling while meditating. Vice-Admiral of Marine Headquarters has been killed and Marine Admiral will surely be the next encirclement and suppression. Although his current strength is stronger than that of a senior Vice-Admiral, there is still a huge gap between him and a Marine Admiral. At least another two or three hundred Talent Proficiency Points will be needed for him to have the qualification to fight an Admiral. Before that, once he encounters an Admiral, the whole ship will be crushed. No rest. No pleasure. Its like running on the road with a lion on his ass. Once he stops, he will become someones dinner. Ross knows the danger of the road he has taken. For this reason, he has never stopped persevering since he was forced to take it because he will never fall halfway to rewrite the future direction of the sea! The pirate offering a reward of 100 million to 200 million berries is of little value now. Theres no need to look for them one by one for the time being. After he enters the New World, they will be everywhere In the first half of the Grand Line, The only valuable pirates are those who have a bounty of 200 million berries and Shichibukais are also valuable but I dont know if killing another Shichibukai will give me any rewards? Ross was thinking about his future and his targets. The Talent System has never had any loopholes that he can exploit. It wont make it easy for him to extract a lot of proficiency points. His only advantage today is that his strength is above the hunting line. He hasnt killed any pirate with the bounty of 230 million berries and with his current strength, defeating this level of pirates is nothing for him. Unless they are a pirate from the New World with a bounty of 300 million berries, No one possesses the strength to stop him. Dont let me down with the intelligence collection, CP9. Ross squinted and muttered. After defeating the fleet led by Headquarters Vice-Admiral, he will face the most dangerous period of time. Once he can get through it and has the strength to escape in front of a Marine Admiral, he will finally have the capital to cross the sea! CHAPTER 121 ALL PARTIES RESPONDED Previous ChapterNext Chapter Marine Headquarters. Vice-Admirals of Headquarters are second only to Marine Admirals and even some of the high-level meetings of Marine and the government. Vice-Admirals of Headquarters are eligible to participate. Even though Momonga and others were newly promoted Headquarters Vice-Admiral, their attack ended in defeat and even Cancer fell in the battle. Such an event undoubtedly caused an earthquake in the whole Marine Headquarters. Marine held an emergency meeting inside. All three Marine Admiral Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu were present. The outcome of the meeting was unknown, but the Marines outside could clearly see the depressing expression on Admirals and Vice-Admirals faces. The impact of this incident is too great. Almost everyone knows that Marine Headquarters goes from officers to recruits and that the government and Marine can only do their best to eliminate the influence and not completely suppress the matter. A few days after the incident, news about the Ghost Hand Pirates was taken by the news bird to all over the world and at the same time, the new Bounty Posters that were issued by the government also circulated. Devil Child Nico Robin, hanging bounty 85 million Berries! Demon Sherrif Laffitte, hanging bounty 150 million Berries! Surgeon of DeathTrafalgar Law, hanging bounty 30 million Berries! Great Axe Xilu, hanging bounty 64 million Berries! Apart from Ross, the bounty of his four crew members has reached 329 million Berries. Some Supernova Pirates in the first half of Grand Line, together with Captain, can hardly exceed that amount. In addition, there is a bounty poster that belongs to the Pirates Captain, Ghost Hand Ross, a reward level never seen in the first half of the Grand Line. 440 million Berries! This level of bounty is enough to be recognized as a strong man even in the second half of the Grand Line, the New World and in the first half of the Grand Line this level of bounty has never appeared in so many years! After receiving this message, the major forces did not shake as before, but they were silent as they did not know what to say anymore. If the government and Marine can no longer impose sanctions on them, then once they are based on New World, it is likely that they will change the pattern of New World Yonko (Four Emperors)! Many people have reached a similar conclusion. Even though the current strength of the Ghost Hand Pirates is far from reaching the level of Yonko, but their potential is horrifying! New World. In the Kingdom of Dressrosa in the back garden of the palace, Doflamingo is sitting in a reclining chair beside the swimming pool with a new newspaper in his hand. After reading the newspaper for a while, he drew out a bounty order from it. Although no one could not see his eyes under his sunglasses, several veins broke out onto his forehead veins. Surgeon of Death? Law you kid. Doffy, Law got on the Ghost Hand Pirates ship. What should we do? The sticky, sluggish Trebol crawled from one side to the side of Doflamingo, his face slightly deformed. He naturally knows something about Pirate Supernovas. But before today, even if Ghost Hand Rosss hanging bounty reached 300 million, he wouldnt care too much. After all. The first half of the Grand Line is completely different from the second half. The second half is called the New World. It does mean a new world. Only when someone strong enough comes to the New World, which is ruled by Yonk (Four Emperors) and have the strength to at least put a fight against the Yonko, then and only then are they qualified to run amok in the sea. But today, the news said that the Ghost Hand Pirates defeated an entire fleet led by three Headquarters Vice-Admiral and the bounty of the Ghost Hand Ross is increased to 440 million Berries! He knew what it means. Even Doflamingo only had a bounty of 340 million berries before he became a Shichibukai, although the current Doflamingo has the strength that will put him in the leagues with the 500 million berries pirates, The Ghost Hand Pirates are no longer an insignificant existence. Fufufufu, what to do? Nothing. Doflamingo stared at the bounty order for several seconds and his eyebrows suddenly relaxed. He threw the bounty order aside and gave a strange laugh. Having defeated the Vice-Admiral fleet of Marine Headquarters, can Admirals still sit idly by? So we dont do anything, lets just wait for Marine to catch the little devil Law for us. For Doflamingo, he is both a tenryubito and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It was easier to get a pirate with the bounty of 30 million Berries from Marines than to fight the Ghost-Hand Pirates to the death. Nah, thats right. Trebol also showed a smile. They had some ways to negotiate with Marine and deal with the government. There was no need to fight with The Ghost Hand Pirates. Doflamingo took a sip of wine from the glass and said: Mobilize our Intelligence department to collect all the intelligence about the Ghost Hand Pirates, preferably their location and quietly send it to Vergo for delivery to Marine. Oh thats great. Vergo was Donquixote Familys first official member and he is now undercover in Marine Headquarters and has reached a rank of Rear Admiral with a step-by-step promotion. If Rosss intelligence can be obtained and handed over to Marine, it will not only add to Vergos achievements but it will also attract Marine Admiral to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates, killing two birds with one stone. Somewhere in White town. The man in the green trench coat is staring at a newspaper in his hand. The survivor of OHaras, Nico Robin and the Ghost Hand Pirates, your situation is very dangerous Not far away, a golden-haired teenager was practicing with a fisherman, beside which a young girl sat on the top of the ruins and looked at them while smiling. Water Seven. On a Pirate Ship that was docked here, Leader Don Chinjao was standing there, staring at the newspaper with one hand and the other hand subconsciously touching his head. Marines are still useless as always. His biggest enemy in this life is Garp, but he cant beat Garp and he cant find Garps family. Since Sai died by Rosss hands, Ross became his second enemy. During this period, he has been looking for Rosss traces. Now he is located in Water Seven, not far from Oezi sea and the Spring island. He can arrive in the next island earlier than Ross and there is a great possibility for him to intercept the Ghost Hand Pirates, but the growth of the Ghost Hand Ross in just two years is astonishing. 440 million Berries! This growth rate is too horrible. In just two years, Ross is almost out of his control. If he waited for some time then Ross will become another Garp for him and by that time he can only bear the hate in his heart and wont be able to do anything. Whether to intercept the Ghost Hand Pirates in the next island, he is afraid that it is his last chance. That damn junior. I will use your blood to pay tribute to Sai. CHAPTER 122 THE ISLAND OF IMPOSSIBILITY Previous ChapterNext Chapter Somewhere on the sea. In the stormy Rainstorm, the Ghost Shadow Ship was sailing through the wind and waves. Occasionally, a huge wave appeared and was immediately overwhelmed by a strange force that could not shake the ship. No one knows how long the voyage lasted. The dark sky suddenly brightened. The storm Rainstorm disappeared in a flash. Looking back, it was still a strong Rainstorm behind. There was a very clear demarcation line with the center of this mild sea. The sky and the sea seem to be divided into two parts here. This kind of scenery is very different and shocking, but for Ross and others who have been sailing on the Grand Line for a long time and have seen all kinds of abnormal weather, this is nothing and they are just a little surprised. Well, you can see it already. An island. Laffitte took a long telescope and looked straight ahead, clearly capturing a black spot at the end of the line of sight, which was an island. After leaving the spring island, Ghost Shadow Ship drove straight away from Oezi sea and Ross chose the next island, which is one of the most difficult islands in the chaotic sea, The Impossible Island. This is a large island, but there is no country and it is divided between many forces. It is an island that often housed many pirate hunters and has various dark Underground transactions. Ross stood calmly on the deck, looking at the black spot at the end of the line of sight. There was a wet deck under his feet, but his clothes were dry. All the rainwater slipped aside as soon as it touched his body. Captain. Just then Robin came over and murmured to Ross, Theres a message from Kaku, One of the Seven Warlords of Sea Hawkeye Mihawk appeared on the Impossible island two days ago. Hearing Robins words, Rosss eyes finally fluctuated. Originally, He chose the Impossible island as their next destination. He didnt plan to g after any prey, He just wanted to use it as a transit station. He didnt expect to meet Shichibukai in this way. And this Shichibukai is completely beyond Rosss current goal. Hawkeye Mihawk, the worlds strongest swordsman is not someone he could defeat even if he doubled his current strength. I see. Ross nodded and threw the news aside, not planning to pay attention to it. Quickly. Ghost Shadow Ship approached the Impossible island and stopped at an unmanned shore. Ross, Laffitte, and Robin boarded island, leaving Law and Xilu to guard the ship. Robin will follow me, Laffitte you can move according to your wishes. Okay, Captain Ross. Laffitte has long been accustomed to such allocation of actions. He turned in one direction and disappeared on the island, while Ross took Robin and stepped into the island from the other direction. Him being with Robin wasnt something special. Compared with Laffitte, Robins memory is quite good. The eight-year-old Archaeology has proved everything. Now she has memorized almost all the pirates that can be targeted. Any pirate they come across can be instantly recognized by her. Her recognition abilities are much better than Ross. Today, Ross only remembers pirates who have more than 100 million berries bounties on their head and the various supernovas of the first half of the Grand Line, as for other He was too lazy to remember them and he depends upon Robin to provide all the information. Ross thinks that he should develop Robins talents very well. Impossible island Its not far from the Marine Headquarters and Red Line, I didnt think there was such a mess here. After stepping into a street, feeling the dark and oppressive atmosphere around it and the occasional dried-up bloodstains along the street, Robin lowered her hat a little and murmured. Its because it is surrounded by stormy seas. Ross said, The Violent storm sea they passed was part of a ring, wrapping the Impossible island in the center. Because of the greater risk of storm sea, even Marines Battleship could be overturned and destroyed so Marine and the government completely ignored this island In the dark. Ross and Robins figure attracted a lot of attention. Accurately speaking, Robins figure has attracted a lot of attention. In terms of stature, Robin is almost impeccable nowadays. Her slender waist and limbs are full of grace. Even if the eaves of her hat cover most of her face, she cant hide her temperament. In this inaccessible island, Apart from the central bustling area, It is almost impossible to see beauty at the level of Robin, so when Robin and Ross walked up to the street, they quickly attracted a lot of attention from the people in the dark. Where did you come from? You walked out with a woman so blatantly It seems that there are only two people. These gazes reveal a bit of greed and desire. This is the impossible island, It is a place which is ignored by Marines and the government. Law and order do not exist here. There are only guns and gunpowder! There are only two kinds of people who dare to walk in such a remote area with women in their eyes. One is a man of great strength and courage, and the other is a rookie who has no idea of what is going on here, who has just passed through the stormy sea and landed on this island by chance. So, which one is it? As Ross and Robin penetrated the streets, their eyes grew more and more, but although they were full of greed and desire, they did not rush up towards them. Instead, they restrained themselves. They were still afraid of encountering the first situation. Naturally. The most indispensable thing in the world is the people who never think. After Ross and Robin walked for a while, some people came out of the darkness and followed behind them. There were three people who slowly followed Ross and Robin from behind, They grinned as they pointed their guns at Rosss back. Bang! Bang! Bang! No one spoke. The three of them had a very tacit understanding between themselves. Its foolish to jump out and say a lot of nonsense to a fellow like Ross. The least valuable thing here is human life. Whoever he is, kill him first and then say, even if he really has the ability, they wont give their opponent the chance to show it. However. When the gunfire stopped and the smoke disappeared in the air, the grin on the three faces suddenly solidified because they saw that the bullets they fired did not leave bloody holes on Ross, but hovered in mid-air at the moment they touched Rosss body. Ross did not look back. As he stepped forward, he raised his right hand gently and snapped his finger. Patter! When the sound of finger-clicking sounded in the silent and dark street, the bullet hovering in the air suddenly turned and shot at the three men. In the splash of blood, the three of them had a frightening look on their faces and they wanted to scream but they could not make any sound. They fell silently to the ground, blood slowly flowed out and spread all the way through the street. Silence! It was not until Ross and Robin disappeared at the end of the street that innumerable breathing sounds came from the darkness. The eyes hidden in the darkness were tinged with fear. The bullets shot back, there is no mistake Devil Fruit User! Although this is the impossible island on the Grand Line and they are all the lowest people on this island. They have all seen Devil Fruit ability many times, a Devil Fruit ability user is obviously not the existence they can provoke. CHAPTER 123*HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter This is really an unsightly place. Walking out of the lonely street, Robin held the brim of her hat and pulled it down a little. Ross also reached out and pressed his leather cap lightly, covering most of his face, and said, This remote place should be nothing to care about. Lets go to Central Citytown. Robin silently followed Ross. After walking through a street the road gradually became wider and the environment also showed a clear change. From dark and dirty scenes, occasionally dried up bloodstains, it has gradually become a normal bluestone path. When they came to this area, although there were a lot of eyes on Ross and Robin, most of them were swept away and only a few eyes followed them but they were limited to snooping. Gradually. Ross and Robin arrived in the Central City District of the Impossible island, where the environment became quite different from the border, with luxurious taverns or casinos on both sides, It was a lively scene. The streets are flooding with people dressed like nobles and gentlemen, walking with young girls in their arms, followed by many guards. Lets go there. Because there is no exact intelligence and goal, He just wanted to see if he can find a valuable prey, Ross glanced down the street and walked towards a nearby casino. Into the casino, Ross casually exchanged 10,000 Berries worth of chips and lost while Robin looked around with her head down and finally shook her head at Ross. Lets go. Ross casually dropped the last bit of chips on the table, lost it and left the casino with Robin and went to another casino in the rear, which looked bigger. This time, Ross didnt even plan to exchange his money for chips. He was planning to walk in and turn around if he didnt find any prey. Unexpectedly, in this casino, Ross found a very unexpected person. Is it white? I won again. Im so embarrassed. An uncle with his eyes closed, wearing a lavender loose kimono and a beard is sitting on the side of a gaming table, one hand touching the back of his head, revealing a thick smile. Its him? Rosss eyes flashed as he watched the purple-clothed blind man sitting there. According to the normal historical development, two years after Luffy went out to sea, this blind man in purple clothing will participate in the world conscription and will be promoted to a Marine Headquarters Admiral with his monstrous-level strength! Ross has already recognized him. Issho or he will be commonly known as Fujitora in future! Ross had thought about the Battle crew on his ship. Laffitte was good, but he could not afford a strong position. Fujitora was one of the figures Ross had considered, but now the problem is that it was too early to meet each other. Although the other sides performance is to uphold justice and be kind to others, his style of action, whether it is the meteorite landing to deter Doflamingo or the fight with Fleet Admiral Akainu for justice without fear, reveals the arrogance of the strong everywhere. In fact. Any strong man has his own pride. It is almost impossible for him to attract Fujitora onto the ship without being stronger than Fujitora. Change 100,000 Berries into chips. Ross indulged for a moment before exchanging his money for chips at the casinos front desk, He walked toward Fujitoras gaming table and sat in on an empty chair. At this point, Fujitora had just taken over the chip that he had won and the dealer had handed over. Robin was next to Ross and she also noticed Fujitora. Even in a non-Battle state, Observation Haki can slightly feel a persons strength and Fujitora gives her the feeling that it is extremely heavy and oppressive! It is like she is looking at a towering steel fortress, there is a sense of insignificance that cannot be shaken by any means. This man Robins eyes showed her cautiousness but she did not speak. She knew that if she could perceive the difference between Fujitora and her then Ross must have noticed it long ago. She didnt need to remind him. When Ross arrived at the table and sat down, he exhaled and stared at the spinning wheel. He released his Observation Haki and began to capture the trajectory of the ball on the wheel. Please Make your bet. After the dealer turned the wheel, he waved to the public to place their bets. Ross stares at the ball, his Observation Haki stretched to its limit, a moment later, he gently pushes a few chips. Black. Fujitora, sitting on the other side of the table, caught Rosss movements, paused for a moment, pushed the chips out with a simple smile, and said, Ill bet black, too. As the rotation speed of the wheel gradually slowed down, the ball finally stopped and fell into a black grid. The dealer expressionlessly took back the chips betting on white and delivered the chips won by Fujitora, Ross, and others, then turned the wheel again. This time. Almost as soon as the roulette had just turned and the ball had just hit two laps, Fujitora gently pushed his chips out. White. Great Ross sighed softly, sure enough, Fujitoras Observation Haki was much better than his. He had not caught anything yet and Fujitora had already determined the final placement. He paused for a second and he pushed his stack of chips to the white betting point. The final drop of the ball is really white. Fujitora took the chips handed over by the dealers hand and showed an embarrassed smile while touching the back of his head and saying, Oh, It looked like my luck is good today. Half an hour later. Ross had 500,000 Berries in front of him and Fujitora had more than 900,000 Berries in front of him, they were surrounded by many people who bet with them. The dealers forehead has overflowed with a bit of cold sweat. Although Ross and Fujitora have not made many bets and they bet with a small amount but their successive wins have attracted countless people to follow their bets, leading to his loss here which is beginning to grow larger and larger. Im very sorry, but we need to repair the wheel of this table. The main people of the casino finally couldnt sit still and seven or eight people came over and prevented everyone from betting. Just then, Robin, standing behind Ross, leaned over Ross and whispered something in his ear. The one who just came down from the second floor is Mogel, The Ripper with 71 million Berries bounty on his head. I see. Ross nodded as he looked at Fujitora on the other side and laughed, Something needs to be done first, but before you go, you want to bet again. If you win, these chips will be yours. How about that? Oh, all chips? I wonder how you want to bet? Fujitora was gathering the chips in front of him. When he heard Rosss words, he paused a little and asked with both hands on the chips. Ross tapped his finger lightly on the roulette table that was being taken away by a group of casino staff, then the table suddenly jumped up and fell between Ross and Fujitora. This What happened? Everyone was shocked as looked at the scene. For a while, they were somewhat at a loss. Ross gently pinched the ball, threw it into the wheel, snapped his back finger and the power of distortion was slightly activated and the whole wheel moved rapidly. This way Fujitora nodded and thought for a second. He pushed the chip in front of him and said, If you try your best, I will bet on white. Kch! Kch! Under the action of the power of distortion, the whole roulette showed signs of fragmentation as it slowly stopped and after a few bounces, the ball finally fell onto the white grid. I lost. Ross stood up and was not depressed. He pushed the chips to Fujitora, turned and walked out of the casino, smiling. If we have a chance in the future, well have another bet. Well, then I will accompany you when we meet again. Fujitora nodded and smiled and stood up while collecting chips from the table. Chapter 123 Fujitora CHAPTER 124 EXTINGUISHES KILLS Previous ChapterNext Chapter Rosss Observation Haki had already been placed on the Ripper Mongel of the 71 million Berries bounty. He stepped out of the casino and looked calmly at Mongel, not far away and went straight to the other side. And I lost more than 100,000 Berries, damn it, the money is running out. Ripper Mongel is a unique family of the world. Their arms have three sections and are longer than the normal one. At this time, he is wearing a windbreaker while holding a blonde beauty and walking in the street, with a gloomy expression on his face. The blonde turned her head, smiled and said in a complimentary tone, Youre a big man who has a bounty of 71 million Berries. You can get a lot of money just by going out. Oh, its just too much trouble. Mongel grinned. He had no dreams of being the strongest in the world, nor of competing for ONEPIECE. He was a pirate in the first half of the Grand Line. He usually lived on an island that Marine didnt care about. He went out to rob and spend money again. However. Just as he was walking forward with his blonde in his arms, a strange wave came from the ground beneath his feet and then suddenly split in the middle, causing him to fall in. Ah?! The blonde girl was shocked. She didnt know how the ground suddenly cracked. She subconsciously reached toward Mongel to get him out of the crack. But before she squatted down, the cracked ground closed in the middle again. With a loud cry, blood gushed up and drenched her all over. Ah! Looking at the scene in front of her, she was instantly frightened and she screamed, the ground under her feet suddenly split, instantly swallowed her up and then disappeared. The people on the street saw this scene and they were frightened. The nearest people even sat on the ground, rolling back and forth in horror. What the hell! In their eyes, it was like the earth suddenly turned into a monster, opened its mouth, took two bites in a row, ate two living people in an instant and chewed them. The entire street became empty in the blink of an eye, leaving only Ross and Robin standing more than 20 meters away. The Ripper Mongel with 71 million Berries bounty has been killed, The rewards are, 15 Talent Proficiency Points. Listening to the voice coming from his ear, Ross gently retrieved his virtual hand. Lets go. He left with Robin and as for the Ripper Mongel, the great pirate with a bounty of 71 million Berries, his the sudden and inexplicable tragic death on the street spread quickly in the Impossible island. This is the first half of the Grand Line. All the people who have a bounty of over 100 million berries are called Supernova. And those who have a bounty of more than 70 million berries are already the strong ones. Now one of them died in the street unexplainably. The news would have shocked the whole island if it had happened in normal times, but now, just after it caused a little movement, it was immediately suppressed by another thing. Because compared to this matter, another thing caused a bigger movement. Pirate Hunters one-armed Carlos challenges the worlds strongest swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk, on this impossible island! Hawkeye Mihawk doesnt need an introduction. Since he defeated the previous generation of the worlds strongest swordsman and took over his position, so far no swordsman has surpassed him. His feet are filled with the bones of numerous swordsmen who challenged him and he is recognized as the strongest swordsman in the world. As for Pirate Hunters one-armed Carlos, his is also a famous big man. Four Emperors is undoubtedly standing at the top of Pirates and Pirate Hunters also has two people that are standing on the top of them, two people and one-armed Carlos is one of them, He once killed 550 million Berries big pirate in New World. The news of the duel between the two men spread and caused a big movement on the entire Impossible island. In the face of such a level of news, the Ripper Mongel of 70 million Berries could not attract any attention at all. All eyes converged on this battle!! Ruins street. It used to be a common street in the impossible island. Then the war broke out, causing the whole block to be completely destroyed, leaving only a few ruined walls and broken buildings. In the ruins, a figure with only one arm was sitting quietly with a red sword across his legs. One-armed Carlos That sword is the rumored 21 Great Grade swords, the Hot Moon? At this time, many people appeared on the edge of the ruins, standing above the broken walls, carefully looking in the direction of Carlos. For them, A pirate with the bounty of over 300 million Berries is the existence that can only be looked up to, not to mention Carlos, who hunted a pirate who offered a bounty of 550 million Berries! Even if you put that pirate in the New World, He will be a strong person! Will Hawkeye come? Sure, I have heard that Hawkeye will never avoid the challenge from a swordsman. As time went by, the atmosphere became more and more tense and depressed. Although everyone now knows that Hawkeye is on this island, people have only heard some rumors about the worlds strongest swordsman and have never seen him personally! No one knows how long it took. Sitting on the top of the ruins, one-armed Carlos suddenly opened his closed eyes and his eyes flickered and there was a vague surge of intentions in them. In the direction he was looking for, a man wearing a wide-brimmed black hat and wearing a black trench coat, carrying a black wide-blade, slowly came over. Hawkeye is here! That is, the worlds Strongest swordsmanHawkeye Mihawk! Is that the legendary black Blade on his back? Many people looked in the direction of Carloss eyes and saw Hawkeye coming by and their hearts were filled with awe. They dont even have the qualification to look up to this kind of existence! In the ruins. Ross stood in the corner, looking at Hawkeyes direction. His eyes flickered and he muttered:I dont know how far I am from you now. How strong is Hawkeye? There is no exact conclusion of this in his memory and whether it is the title of the worlds strongest swordsman or the duel with Akagami (Red Hair), the final result as a tie is enough to prove Hawkeyes strength! Robin stood next to Ross and gazed at Hawkeye, who was approaching. Although Ross had killed Crocodile, There is a big difference between him and other Shichibukais. Knight of the Sea (Kaikyfu) Jinbe is powerful and a link between humans and fishermen. DonQuixote Family of Doflamingo is powerful all over the world. Gekko Moria once challenged Hundred Beast Kaido and survived despite the collapse of his whole army Compared with these people, Hawkeye is a thorough loner! Without attaching to any forces or forming any allies, he sailed across the sea depending on his own strength and a place in Seven Warlords of the Sea with absolute strength! CHAPTER 125 *HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter Oh Hawkeye Mihawk vs. One Armed Carlos. Laffitte has already arrived in this ruin, but he did not contact Ross, but stood in another area, watching from a distance. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Hawkeye finally came to Carlos. You came. I thought you wouldnt accept the challenge because I was disabled. Carlos jumped from the ruins and held the hilt of his sword with one hand and looked at Hawkeye. Hawkeye slightly closed his eyes as he reached to his back and pulled out the Black Blade, He opened his eyes again and looked at Carlos, saying: No matter who the challenger is, I will never refuse, not to mention that you are a famous swordsman. Can you overcome this black blade and become the strongest swordsman, will you be able to take away this title. Hey Carlos suddenly pulled out his sword and attacked Hawkeye and in a flash a red sword energy swept across the earth, sweeping toward Hawkeye. Where the sword energy went, the earth was continually torn and cut and the crack in the cut was burning with a red flame. The sword of inflammation. Hawkeye slightly lowered his face and swung the black blade in his hand. The red sword energy fell on the black blade and was completely destroyed. For swordsman, sword energy is a mean of a long-range attack. The swordsmans strongest attack is actually a chop with his real sword. Whiz! Hawkeye stepped out and his figure disappeared instantly and in the next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of Carlos, the black blade in his hand suddenly fell on Carlos. Carlos swung his sword to resist, and the two swords collided violently in the air. Carlos showed a slight weakness and his arm sank slightly. He had to remove some of his strength. Bang! Some of the force that was removed fell behind him, instantly tearing the ruins behind it into a terrifying crack of more than a hundred meters. Ross, who watched the scene from afar, closed his eyes slightly. He did not know whether Hawkeye had done his best, but right now it is almost impossible for him to resist it without losing taking any damage. Compared with the worlds top powerhouses, there is still a big gap between us. Ross muttered a sentence in his heart and called out the Talent System. He hunted the Ripper Mongel for 15 Talent Proficiency Points, He distributed 5 points on Distortion Fruit and 10 points on Physical Enhancement, which improved his strength slightly. Bang! Bang! Bang! The fight in the distance quickly entered its peak state. The battle between the worlds top powers often takes a long time to decide the winner or loser, but swordsmen are generally an exception. Even if they are nearly the same strength, duels will often be won or lost very soon and the strength between Hawkeye and Carlos is not equal. Carloss strength, in Rosss view, should be very close to the Three Disasters, which is behind the Doflamingo and Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. At least. Ross still had the strength to fight against Carlos, even if he could not win, he would still be able to retreat. This is the strength of the worlds strongest swordsman Carlos is completely under pressure. Looking at Battle in the field, their opinions gradually moved towards Hawkeye and many people were murmuring with shock. At first, Carlos was able to compete with Hawkeye but after dozens of moves he was pushed into the downside. Now Carlos is showing signs of defeat. But for swordsmen, even in the bad situation, there is still the possibility of turning over. Carlos did not give up, but was alert and constantly attacking. Qing! After another move, Hawkeye stayed where he was and Carlos stepped back four or five steps. really strong. This is my strongest attack. If it cant beat you, then I lost. Carlos gripped the handle of the sword, grinned and his swordsmanship surged. His entire figure seems to turned into a fierce sword and above his blade, a golden flame suddenly ignited and rose. Hawkeye stood there calmly, without rushing forward while holding the long handle of Black Blade in both hands and preparing for the move. Sword flow, instant chop! Carlos raised his power to his limit and a light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly slams out and the sword in his hand seems to be turned into a golden light, cutting through the void and running through the field. In an instant, Hawkeye exchanged positions with Carlos. Is this is it over? Who won? The people who were watching this scene from afar took a deep breath. Under the watchful eyes of countless people, Carlos kept his sword in a posture. A crack suddenly appeared between his chest and abdomen. Blood rushed out. Carlos staggered and half knelt on the ground. On the other side, Hawkeye slowly retrieved the black blade and turned around. Its over. Ross shook his head, even if he saw it, he already knew the result of this fight. The reason why he came over was to measure the gap between himself and the worlds top powerhouse. Now that the gap has been judged, it is time to leave. However. Just as Ross turned and was about to leave, a voice suddenly echoed through the ruins, breaking the silence. Ah hoo hoo, finally found you. Ghost handRoss!!! In the ruins, a bald old man with a long gray beard came crashing into the ruins, where the ruins of the buildings continued to crumble and finally rushed to the ruins where Ross was. The huge moment of movement attracted the attention of countless people. Many people turned their eyes and saw a bald old man with a huge body and they were stunned. Is that person, is it legendary Someone stared at the bald old mans back, vaguely thinking of something and his face suddenly changed. Leader Don Chinjao! The legendary Big Pirate, although he has not appeared on the sea for many years and was branded in the memory of the people of that era but the bounty on his head in that year was more than 500 million Berries! And a name that Don Chinjao just called out is no less important than Don Chinjao at this time, He is a famous existence in this sea. Ghost Hand Ross! Hawkeye stood in the ruins not far away and looked sideways at Leader Don Chinjao, but soon he took his eyes back. He seemed uninterested and jumped out of the ruins. At this time, everyones attention has shifted from Hawkeye to Don Chinjao and Ross. Although Don Chinjao is no longer a figure of this era, and Ross is not as famous as Hawkeye, but for them, they are still someone that hey could not compare to! There were so many big people gathered quietly on this island. And look at Don Chinjao and Ross, what kind of resentment do they seem to have? Leader Don Chinjao, was it hard for you to find me?. Ross looked slowly at Don Chinjao. His eyes were calm and indifferent. When he killed Sai, he knew that Don Chinjao would come to him sooner or later. So he always collected Don Chinjaos intelligence and deliberately avoided him. After returning to the blue sea from Sky island, he did not pay any attention to Don Chinjaos intelligence. Now that the other party has come for him, it is not very unexpected. Chapter 125 Leader Chinjao CHAPTER 126 SHOWDOWN Previous ChapterNext Chapter Ah, ah, even Marines Vice-Admiral fleet was defeated. You are growing very fast recently. I cant delay my revenge for Sai. Don Chinjao came right in front of Ross, touched his bare head, squinted, and spoke gently to Ross. Ross looked at Don Chinjao indifferently and did not respond to him, He looked at Robin and said: Stand back, Robin. Robin nodded and glanced at Leader Don Chinjao with a dignified look. All the information about Don Chinjaos intelligence flashed through her mind as she leaped gently back toward the rear. Don Chinjao squinted and glanced at Robin indifferently. Is that Devil Child, the survivor of the OHaras incident? Ah hoo hoo, you younger generation is really bold. Before OHaras, Don Chinjao was a member of Garps generation. At that time, even Great Age of Pirates had not begun. He had heard the news of the destruction of OHaras, but that was many years ago. No matter what their identity is, as long as they are on my ship, they are my crew. Ross calmly stood there. As for Don Chinjaos current strength, he cant accurately judge it. In his memory, Don Chinjao can fight against Gear Second Luffy in Dressrosa, but later he was almost defeated by Lao G of Donquixote Family. The battle with Luffy was the last battle of his old age, but right now Don Chinjao is far from that time, his beard has not even turned into white, but remain gray. At least at his peak state, he is as strong as a high level Shichibukai. Its not clear how much strength he possessed after Garp hammered his head. Hee-ho-ho-ho-ho, its quite strong Haki. Don Chinjao slightly grinned. Suddenly, the drooping gray-white beard, unaffected by gravity, began to float upward in an unexplained form. His narrow eyes opened slowly, and a terrifying momentum rose gradually from him. As he stared at Ross, his eyes flashed with a fierce color and his tone suddenly turned cold and his murderous and repressed anger unfolded without hiding, he said: However, Sai was also the best descendant of the old man, who died by your hands. As the leader of the Happo Navy navy, this old man also needs to let you experience it! Buzz!! In the next moment, Don Chinjao clenched his fist violently and activated Armed Armament Haki and slammed down at Ross At the same time, a shocking Haoshoku Haki burst out from Don Chinjaos body and rushed in all directions. Bang! Rosss face remained unchanged as he clenched his right hand and met Don Chinjaos fist with his own. Two disproportionate fists suddenly collided in the air and a terrifying sound surged in all direction, cracking the gap between the two people, like a spiders web that gradually spread. This isHaoshoku Haki? Rosss eyes glistened slightly as he felt the breath bursting out of Don Chinjao, similar to Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Armament Haki, but totally different. The aftermath rippled away. Ross stood where he was, without retreating, and the ground beneath him fell apart inch by inch. Don Chinjao kept his fist-waving posture and the ground beneath him also broke into pieces. The spectators in the distance had fallen silent. They were all stunned by Don Chinjaos Haoshoku. But Don Chinjaos Haoshoku was not strong. Many people still stood, but most of them overflowed with a little cold sweat on their foreheads. What happened, how did you fall down? Some people looked at some unconscious people who were foaming in their mouth and not knowing the reason for it, they all panicked. Its Haki, Haoshoku Haki. There are people who have seen this type of scene before and said: But thats also a reasonable thing. Leader Don Chinjao had a bounty of more than 500 million berries in that time! 580 million Berries! This is the bounty of Don Chinjao who was at the peak of his power at that time and was able to compete with Garp! Although Don Chinjao was later beaten by Garp, who flattened his head, there is no doubt about his strength. Ah, ah, not only can you use Haki, but also recognize Haoshoku Haki. Your knowledge is quite good. Who did you learn your Haki from?! Looking at Ross who steadily withstood his punch, Don Chinjao snorted and stared at Ross. His gray beard seemed to be blown up by the strong wind, and the erupting Haoshoku Haki gradually dispersed. Who knows? Ross slowly retrieved his fist and responded calmly. He did not learn his Haki from anyone but he worked it out through day-to-day hard practice. Well, self-awakening? Thats not bad, but without the right exercise method, your Haki is weak and vulnerable! Don Chinjao gave a sudden shout of anger, his palms closed in front of him, his upper body turned sharply, his bare head slammed towards Ross. Hasshoken, Buto(Military Head)! Ross did not retreat. His right hands fingers closed and he suddenly clenched his fist. Power of distortion surrounded his fist and ran up against Don Chinjaos head. Don Chinjao was bald in the head due to Garp. Although he lost his main weapon, his Armament Haki was weakened. Bang!!! Rosss fist hit Don Chinjaos head with a thunderous bang. Almost instantly, the crumbling ground under Rosss feet broke apart inch by inch, and the ruined buildings around him could not withstand the aftermath of power of distortion, showing signs of cracks. In the reverberation of the attack, Rosss arm was shaking constantly and Don Chinjaos head and neck were shaking constantly, both sides were constantly stimulating their strength in this fierce collision and confrontation. Bang! For almost two seconds, Rosss power of distortion kept breaking out. With a low grunt, he smashed Don Chinjaos Hashoken apart and hit Don Chinjao in the head, knocking him down and causing him to fly out. Bang! Bang! Don Chinjao, who flew out, crashed into two buildings in a row and broke into the ruins. Leader Don Chinjao was hit! This is the strength of Ghost Hand Ross even the legendary figure is not his opponent? Many people can not help but feel shaken when they look at this scene from afar. Rosss suspended bounty has reached 440 million Berries, but he is only one of the younger generation who has just risen. But now, his punch has caused a legendary figure to fly backward, which undoubtedly means that Rosss power has already moved towards those of the older generation! However. In the tremor of a group of people, the ruins suddenly clashed, and the figure of Leader Don Chinjao rushed out of it. The broken stone debris on his body kept scattering, without leaving any damage. Ah-hoo, its a good move, but youre far from winning! CHAPTER 127*HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter Whiz! Rosss face remained unchanged as he was not surprised. He leaped and rushed up. Armament Haki was attached to his left arm and right hand. He fused with the power of distortion and hit Don Chinjao on his head like a windy Rainstorm. Garp punched Don Chinjaos skull and made him bald, but only bald, at most, reducing a little hardness, but Don Chinjaos fight ability is strong. Bang! Bang! Bang! In the face of Rosss attack, Don Chinjao fearlessly used his Observation Haki and clearly captured all Rosss movements and punched out one punch after another, confronting Ross. The earth was trembling and it was ringing. In a flash, the two men punched each other dozens of times. The loud sound produced from there punches was like a thunderbolt. It made the people around them cover their ears in horror and show their hard expressions. It was just the sound that made their eardrums buzz constantly and unbearable. Bang! Bang! Over time, Don Chinjao, who was fighting Ross on equal footing, began to sweat on his forehead and moved backward bit by bit under heavy pressure, leaving two plowing marks on the ground. Rosss power of distortion is constantly breaking his Hasshoken and affecting his fists, although his Armament Haki is extremely tyrannical and was able to withstand Rosss power but with these continuous attack, it will collapse sooner or later. Even if only a small part of it accumulates, it makes his arm numb gradually. Hateful junior! Feeling the numbness of his arms, Don Chinjao roared as his arms burst open and his head was instantly covered with Armed Armament Haki and he slammed into Ross. Bang! Rosss fist once again collided with Don Chinjaos head, this time with Don Chinjaos feet on the ground and Ross was in the air, after a few seconds of stalemate, Don Chinjaos body slammed back and he finally fell to the ground on his buttock, while Ross rolled over and stepped back. Don Chinjao touched his head and suddenly thought of the tragedy of being beaten bald by Garp. His face suddenly showed a fierce color. Ah Ah! With an angry roar, he charges into Ross and hammers his head hard. Ross punched Don Chinjao again and in the resulting aftermath, Don Chinjao flew backward again and smashed several buildings, but he was still unhurt. Ross watched the scene expressionlessly. After a slight relief of his spare energy, he suddenly rushed towards Don Chinjaos front. Once again, his fist shot down on Don Chinjao and his fists seemed to regard Don Chinjao as a human-shaped sandbag. Compared with Dalmatian and Lucci, Don Chinjao is a purer body strengthing type, His Armament Haki and Kenbonshoku (Observation) is at Proficiency level seeing as he was able to capture Luffys position while he was in the second gear. Besides. Don Chinjao also seems to have a Tenacious talent and is extremely strong in endurance and defense. Bang! Bang! Bang! Ross and Don Chinjao fought again and his figure kept flashing in the presence. In terms of speed, he was much faster than Don Chinjao and always occupied the position of active attack. Don Chinjao is huge and his Observation Haki is extremely strong. While capturing Rosss movement he keeps on defending and counterattacking and looks for a chance for initiating his own attacks. The arrogant younger generation You only have this much strength and you dared to provoke the government and Marines. Instead of letting you die in Marine Admirals hands, let me kill you and pay tribute to Sai! The accumulating effect of Distortion made Don Chinjao extremely uncomfortable and he could not help but roar as he flew towards Ross. Armament Haki on his head fired up and fell down sharply towards Ross. Hasshoken Ogi, Mukiryu Mukirikugi(Eight Impacts Fist Secret Technique: Drill-less Dragon Drill-less Nail)! Rosss face remained unchanged as he faced Don Chinjaos full-blown attack, he switched his fist directly to meet him. Compared with Don Chinjaos head, his fist is quite different in size. His slender arms, by contrast, seem to be broken directly by Don Chinjaos head hammer. But. When the two sides collided, a tremendous sound emerged, Don Chinjao was directly overturned by Rosss power causing him to fly out, He continuously smashed into three buildings, flying further away! After this move, Ross brought out the power of distortion and Armament Haki into full play. It was originally just a slightly integrated Armament Haki and Power of distortion. As the fight gradually continued, a perfect fusion of perfection between these two power appeared. His strength was already one point stronger than Don Chinjao. Don Chinjao relied on Armament Hakis strength, defense, and endurance to fight him. Now, with the continuation of the fight, it has gradually tilted the balance of Battle. Cough! Cough! Don Chinjao, rising from the ruins, felt only a tingling pain in his skull. He also realized that Rosss strength seemed to have risen a little, and his eyebrows were locked. However, as someone who has Haoshoku Haki, he will not retreat while facing someone from the younger generation, after roaring, he charged towards Ross. Bang! Bang! Bang! The fight broke out again, but this time, Don Chinjao fell directly into the leeway. Originally, he could collide with Ross a dozen of times and use his head for the final attack but now he is only fought less than a dozen times and he already feels his arm is shaking and going soft. Ross seemed to be somewhat disappointed with Don Chinjao but this was not noticed by anyone including Chinjao. Instead, he used Chinjao as a sandbag, he constantly trained his Haki and the power of distortion on him. Whiz! Whiz! In the continuous Battle, Ross is becoming more and more familiar with the combination of Armament Haki and the power of distortion, gradually grasping the knack and perfectly integrating the two forces. In addition, Rosss control of the power of distortion has become more and more sophisticated. He has a vague sense of being able to throw the power of distortions out from ant part of his body easily. But unfortunately, this feeling is only a flash away and it can not be grasped. Its over. Feeling that his stamina continued to drop in this fight and gradually lowered to the dangerous line, Ross took a deep breath while blinking his eyes and he no longer suppressed his powers. He clenched his right hands five fingers violently as Armament Haki and power of distortion perfectly combined and he punched Don Chinjao. Don Chinjao roared and went all out to inspire Armament Haki to fight Ross head-on, but only for a second and in the next moment, he was directly dropped to the ground, smashing the earth into a huge human-shaped hole. There was an incredible look in his eyes. How can the power of this junior suddenly Whiz! Without waiting for Don Chinjao to do anything, Ross suddenly fell from the sky and rushed straight into the pit. Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of continuous Bang sounds came from the depths of the earth and also caused the earth to constantly shake making many people that are standing on the ground to wobble. And when the sound of the Bang finally broke off and the vibration calmed down, a figure gently leaped out of the pit, seemingly with a little blood on his fist. Listening to the sound of the system reward, Ross calmly shook his wrist and silently peeled blood from his fingers, restoring the white and ordinary palm. There is no life in the pit. The audience was silent. Don Chinjao is he dead? The legendary pirate, defeated. Great Age of Pirates 13th year in July. The Ghost Hand Pirates Captain Ross encounters the legendary pirate Leader Don Chinjao, Both sides fought and after a big battle Ross completely defeated Leader Don Chinjao and killed him on the Impossible Island. The news spread and the sea shook! Chapter 127 Don Chinjaos Death CHAPTER 128 NEXT WILL BE A MARINE ADMIRAL Previous ChapterNext Chapter Marine Headquarters Medical Building. In a separate room in a high-rise ward, a man without his right arm and wrapped in bandages was sitting quietly at the window with a newspaper in his hand. He is Headquarters Vice-Admiral Doberman. After his fight with Ross in the Spring Island, he was badly injured. Despite the emergency treatment of the accompanying ship doctor on the Battleship, he had to amputate an arm. Because of the severe internal injuries, he almost lost his future battle ability. Because of this, Marine Headquarters did not impose any substantial punishment on him because of this serious defeat and even his Vice-Admiral rank, which had been on the verge of being stripped, was retained for him. Standing next to Doberman is a Headquarters Captain. These are all the announcements from Headquarters. You can either stay in Headquarters to process files or you can choose to work as a trainer in the recruiting battalion. Headquarters Captain looked at Doberman with some concern. He knew about Doberman and that Doberman had lost his battle ability. He would review documents and teach recruits at most in the future, so he feared that Doberman would not be able to bear the result. Doberman, sitting at the window, didnt react. He just held the newspaper in one hand and looked at it. His fingers kept pinching and kneading one end of the newspaper into a ball. The newspaper printed news of Hawkeyes duel with Carlos and Rosss killing of the legendary pirate Leader Don Chinjao. Vice-Admiral Standing on the side the Headquarters Captain got more and more worried, he was worried that Doberman wouldnt be able to accept it. He also knows about Ross. He was only a small Pirate Hunter in West Blue at first, but he grew strong very fast and eventually, Doberman paid a heavy price for it. This kind of thing may not be acceptable even to him. Um. Doberman took a deep breath and suddenly loosened the newspaper, putting it aside and said, I see. When you go back and report for me, you say Id like to stay in Headquarters to process documents. Vice-Admiral?! The Headquarters Captain showed a little surprise. He knew Dobermans style very well. He was tough and hard working. He believed in strength and absolute justice. He did not expect that after losing his strength, Doberman could accept the civil service of handling documents. Doberman slightly smiled and said: Even if I dont have any battle capabilities. I have experienced and seen more than you think. Go on. Yes. The Headquarters Captain nodded and left the room after saluting. After he left, the expression on Dobermans face changed gradually. Although he still kept smiling, the smiling became more and more fierce, and finally became a little crazy. Such an end, uh He gave a few horrible sneers, grabbed the newspaper and stared at the newspaper story about Ross. Loss of his strength is more painful to him than death, but he will not choose to die, because he has to watch and see Ross in even more worse position! Ill watch it. Pirate Ross. Having confronted Ross head-on, plus all the information about Ross, he knows Rosss character well, He is definitely not a person who is willing to submit to others. Arrogant! Aloof and arrogant! Even if he escaped Marines encirclement and suppression and entered New World, he will face a situation where the sea is his enemy and he will be squeezed between Marines and Yonko(Four Emperors). He would watch Ross defeated by Marines and taken to Impel Down, or defeated by Four Emperors and killed in despair by Four Emperors. Before that, he would live even in pain and he would never die without seeing Rosss last appearance. Impossible island. After defeating Leader Don Chinjao and killing him, Ross and Robin returned to the Ghost Shadow Ship, leaving Laffitte alone to move freely on the island until Log Pose magnetism was full. Leader Don Chinjaos bounty at its peak was 580 million Berries, and after hunting Don Chinjao, Ross was rewarded at the level of 580 million berries pirate and the reward wasnt cut because Don Chinjaos head was made bald by Garp causing a decrease in his strength. 1 Free Talent Points! 120 Talent Proficiency Points! Its more impressive than Rosss previous victory over the magnitude of Marine Vice-Admirals. These 120 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross thought a little, then made a choice and filled 50 points into the Physical Enhancement of the General Department. The Generals Talents Tree shines with a slight change. Agility Enhancement: 200 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 400 (Top Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 50 (Mid Level Strengthening) A warm current emerged from Rosss body, Strengthening his body and it disappeared after a few seconds, his Physical Enhancement also broke through 400 points, close to 500 points of Maximum Value. With the remaining 70 Proficiency Points, Ross was in a little hesitant, after a period of hesitation, he finally chose to add 50 Proficiency Points to Armament Haki. The Ripper Mongel was killed before and the 15 Proficiency Points were all added on the Distortion Fruit. The power of distortions has been enhanced, plus 20 points now, the promotion is big enough. And. Now he has been able to combine Armament Haki with the power of distortion, so he has to improve his Armament Haki, otherwise, its strength will be too weak. Most importantly, if he meets the Marines again, its probably going to involve a Marine Admiral. Todays three Marine Admiral, Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu are the top Logia powers. Currently, his Armament Haki can deal with the likes of smokers and Crocodile, but he will be dwarfed by the top powers, even when combined with the power of distortions, he may not be able to hurt the other party. In the War Of The Best, Marco and Flower SwordVista, two division Captains of Whitebeard Pirates, joined forces and used Haki to hit Akainu, but they were unable to cause any harm to him. Looking at the entire War of The Best, only Whitebeard was able to cause substantial damage to Akainu! Buzz!! The golden light flashed and the branch of Armament Haki which Ross had been neglecting was finally filled with some proficiency points. The 50 Talent Proficiency Points just pushed Armament Haki into Mid Level Strengthening and directly upgraded Rosss Armament Haki! Armed! In the practice room, looking at the square Iron Block in front of him. Ross raised his right hand and Armament Haki suddenly condensed into a dark hardened color and then he punched the iron block. Bang! His fist Bang struck the square Iron Block and gave a bang ring instantly. Even though the practice room had excellent sound insulation, it still reverberated in all corners of Ghost Shadow Ship. This punch directly put a deep fist mark on the iron block. It should be a little worse than Don Chinjao, but its not too much. Recalling Don Chinjaos Armament Haki strength, Ross slightly nodded, this level of Armament Haki has a little bit of capital against an Admiral. The last 20 points left are naturally poured on the Distortion Fruit. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 480 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki: 50 Armament Haki: 50 I dont know how far I am from Marine Admiral. After looking at the Battle panels, Ross muttered in his heart. CHAPTER 129 *HIDDEN* Previous ChapterNext Chapter After closing the Talent System, Ross took a deep breath and started to exercise. He had to adapt to the strength he had just raised. It was at this time that several figures passed through the messy ruins and quietly came to the shore, close to the Ghost Shadow Ship. That is the Ghost Shadow Ship? The headed person is petite and beautiful women, wearing a strange hat and a loose jacket on the upper body, it seems that there is only one jacket and there is no button, she is wearing a wavy short skirt on the lower body and a pair of sunglasses on her eyes. Standing behind her are two men wrapped in grey robes. One of them looked at the Ghost Shadow Ship on the shore and respectfully said: The same as in the intelligence, there should be nothing wrong. The three continued to walk towards the Ghost Shadow Ship. Almost as they came to the side of Ghost Shadow Ship, Robin appeared silently on the side of Ghost Shadow Ship, standing there looking down at the three people, with glittering eyes and making gestures ready to use her abilities at any time. Dont do it, we dont have any ill intentions, Nico Robin The woman in front looked up at Robin standing on the side of Ghost Shadow Ship. Her red lips opened slightly and her hands spread out slightly, indicating that she had no wicked intention. Robin was slightly startled when she heard her name, but instead of putting down her guard immediately, she asked in a low voice, Who are you? Belo Betty raised her hand and gently lifted the sunglasses up halfway and smiled. Revolutionary Army. I am the East Army, Army Captain, Belo Betty. Belo Betty smiled at Robin after declaring her name. I have already declared my name. Arent you gonna invite us to sit up? Revolutionary Army Robin was slightly stunned as she did not expect to encounter the Revolutionary Army here and it was one of the mysterious military Captains. In other words, it is difficult for her to connect the girl in front of her with the dangerous criminals wanted by the World Government all over the world, such as Revolutionary Army Captain. Miss Robin, please believe us, we dont have any wicked intentions. Standing behind Belo Betty, a member of the Revolutionary Army said to Robin in a sincere way, Light of Revolution Thats what we call you. Weve been looking for you for four or five years. Youre the only survivor of OHaras in the world. Hearing this, Robin lifted her hand and gently lowered it. The Revolutionary Army member saw it and smiled at Robins kindness: Now that we have found you, we will do our best to protect you from the government. This is the Order of the Leader. Leader? Asked Robin, with a slightly twinkling eye. The Commander-in-Chief of Revolutionary Army Dragon. The Revolutionary Army member, with a solemn and serious look on his face, spoke to Robin, with deep respect in his eyes when he mentioned Dragon. If someone is to be considered to be the most dangerous existence in the world, then there is no doubt that it will belong to the Revolutionary Armys Leader Dragon! Although Four Emperors are also extremely dangerous, they will not attack the World Government on their own initiative, nor will they attack Marine on their own initiative, nor will they deliberately subvert the governments rule. But Dragon is different. The sole purpose of the Revolutionary Army was to overthrow the rule of tenryubito and overthrow World Government. The governments intention to eradicate Dragon is much stronger than Rosss. If they can accurately detect Dragons location, they will send all CP0 members to attack him secretly and maybe even send more than two Admirals to kill him! Since its the Revolutionary Army, come up and sit down. Rosss voice came from behind Robin. He has been releasing Observation Haki in the exercise room. As soon as Belo Betty and others approached the ship, he noticed them, but he did not rush out. Instead, he went for a shower and changed his clothes before he walked out of the cabin. Ghost Hand Ross. Belo Betty gently smiled at Ross, jumped and landed on the deck. So, lets make a long story short. She came to Ross and Robin and her expression became serious. You are in a very dangerous situation now. We are all aware of the cause and effect of your deeds. Robin, If you are willing, we will do our best to protect you and escort you to the Revolutionary Army headquarters. As for your Captain, if you are willing to join the Revolutionary Army, we will do our best to help you out of danger, but only if you listen to our command. Once Robin interprets Poneglyph, it is bound to be a heavy blow to the World Government. From the governments refusal to study the Void Century and they even went as far as to destroy OHara to hide that. Ross is less important than Robin. Its not difficult to protect Robin alone. But when it comes to Ross and the Ghost Hand Pirates, she doesnt really want to be threatened by a Marine Admiral. The Revolutionary Army is now in development state. Only their Leader Dragon can oppose a Marine Admiral. Even if Ross joins the Revolutionary Army, Dragon cant keep away from his duties to protect Ross. Even if Ross is willing to obey their command, it is a lot of pressure for her. Ross slightly shook his head and responded calmly: I will not join any forces. Because of the existence of Talent System, he must act according to his own way, pirates are his prey, Doflamingo is also one of the people he wants to destroy, it is impossible to hide in the dark with the Revolutionary Army, so whether he joins the Revolutionary Army will not make any difference. Moreover, the government has to work hard to deal with the Revolutionary Army. Any exposed location of the Revolutionary Army will attract the governments frenzied pursuit. Once they are caught, they will be tortured. If I join your Revolutionary Army, the government and Marine will definitely pay more attention to me and the future will be even more troublesome. This is indeed the case. Belo Betty shrugged helplessly and said, But we have a strong Intelligence network, and we have more opportunities to avoid the government and Marines encirclement and suppression. Ross did not respond and turned to look at Robin. Robin slightly smiled and said, Im sorry, but my position is in line with Captain. Oh. Belo Betty snorted, seemingly anticipating that this might be the case. She did not intend to continue her persuasion. Instead, she walked toward the side of the deck and jumped back to the shore. After taking two steps, she seemed to think of something again and turned her head towards Ross, she lifted her sunglasses gently with one hand and looked solemnly at them. Marine Admiral has been following you. Youd better be careful about your recent actions I dont really want to hear the news that Marines caught you. Belo Betty smiled and puts down her sunglasses. Then, lets meet again. As for Rosss style, she recognizes it. He is not someone who will succumb to the power of Marine and the government. Even though he is weak, he also resists and in the process of that resistance, he has been hunting pirate and Marines. Unfortunately. Currently, the Revolutionary Army is hiding here and there with no fixed place. They are no better than Ross. She cant even cooperate with Ross to fight against someone like a Marine Admiral. I can only hope that Ross will be fortunate enough to survive the threat of a Marine Admiral. Although this will be very difficult. Chapter 129 Revolutionary Army CHAPTER 130 IDEA Previous ChapterNext Chapter Its a decisive decision. Watching the three Revolutionary Army figures disappear from sight, Robin turns to Ross and gently smiles, saying, I thought you would at least hesitate for a moment. Its impossible for me to submit to any type of commands. If I were willing to follow the orders, I might be a Marine now. Ross shook his head. He couldnt follow the Revolutionary Army to hide in some remote country. The purpose of the Revolutionary Army was to overthrow the tenryubito rule and overthrow the government. He was different. He became a Pirate because Marines and the government provoked him, so he would deal with Marine and government in his own way. A single Doberman is not enough. Although the original order came from Doberman, it was impossible for this series of events to be not followed by the government and Marine executives. Their attitudes were clearly very consistent. In the eyes of senior government officials and Fleet Admiral Sengoku and others, Rosss existence is far less important than Marines and the governments prestige. It is absolutely impossible for the government and Marine to publicly withdraw a pirates bounty and admit their previous mistakes. Well, just watch. A deep glimpse flashed through his eyes, then he threw his miscellaneous thoughts behind his head, turned to Robin and said, What about Devil Fruits ability training? And Armament Haki. A month ago, he had handed over the Armament Hakis practice method to Robin and Laffitte and others. They were getting closer and closer to the New World and it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the New World without Haki. Robin and others are not Battle members and Ross will not require them to have much strength, but they at least have to have the ability to fight in New World. Slightly stronger. Robin glanced at Ross and wondered what special training her Captain was going to give her. Ross snorted and lightly said. Is it? Lets test it out. For Laffitte, he has always had a free attitude, while he had pointed out the development of Devil Fruit and Observation Haki to Law. He had taught Armament Haki practice to Xilu and now it was time for Robin. What kind of test? Robin was not moved by it as she asked expressionlessly. Ross glanced at Robin, walked into the cabin with his hands on his back and said, Some ordinary tests. Robins practice speed is much faster than Ross expected and she can already utilize a weaken Armament Haki. Armament Hakis practice is not very difficult. As long as the physical fitness reaches a certain level, it can be practiced. However, this ability is easy to learn but hard to utilized. Many people always get stuck on the hardening process of the Armament Haki. Even Xilu, who had been brought down from the Sky island had been practicing for several months with Armament Haki and he was completely unable to harden with Armament Haki and Armament Haki learned by Robin was only a little bit better than him. Naturally. Its better to have something than nothing. Even a little Armament Haki around your arm can enhance your defensive and offensive abilities, and even a little improvement can be made. Its still hard to train a team that is comparable to the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates in a short time. After testing the strength of Robin and others, Ross couldnt help but sigh, why cant they work as hard as he did. Although these people are practicing under his supervision, most of them are passive except Law. Mission-like practicing does not have that kind of strong determination and belief. Instead of taking care of Law and Xilus practicing, Ross left the cabin and went to the deck and jumped suddenly and landing in the sea below, suspended above the sea. Distortion Fist! Rosss right hand five fingers converged and his eyes showed a serious expression. About three feet apart, He slammed into the sea below. Soundless and stirless. The sea was calm and the atmosphere was awkward. There is still no way to conduct air as a medium No, it should be said that the power of distortion cannot be released by air. Ross took back his fist and looked at his palm, revealing a touch of thought in his eyes. It is impossible to attach the power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) to the fist like Whitebeard and directly hit the front, which is a minor flaw of Distortion Fruit. If the power of distortion is fixed, it must be released from the air, if not then there is nothing. But in his fight against Don Chinjao, Ross was able to faintly touch upon that feeling. It felt like his power can be released from any medium. But in the end, he failed to catch it. Distortion FruitChop-Chop Fruitand Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi)representing Distortion, splitting, and vibration, why are there such big differences between them? There was a hint of confusion in Rosss eyes. The clown Buggys Chop-Chop Fruit can split his body and ignore the cutting of sharp weapons. This is a very chicken rib ability that is useful in remaining alive. But what if this ability is not limited to splitting himself, but everything that he touched in the outside world? There is no doubt that it will be an extremely powerful ability! Everything that is touched by this ability user will be silently cut apart and split. If the fruit is strengthened to its limit, maybe one stroke will be enough to divide an island, together with the people on the island, into countless pieces, showing an effect similar to Doflamingos birdcage. However, this splitting fruit cannot affect the outside world but can only affect the user. This leads to a very powerful ability to become a chicken rib ability that is far less inferior to Distortion and earthquake. Similarly. If Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) is like Chop-Chop Fruit, not outward but inward, turning itself into a human vibration machine, it will obviously become a chicken rib ability, It will only be useful in pleasuring a girl Rosss Distortion Fruit is similar to the earthquake and the split as he cant release Distortion into the air, but his body will not twist like a rubber. If Distortion Fruit really becomes an inward-acting fruit, it may become an alternative version of the rubber fruit that produces distinct characteristics. Really Is this difference due to the nature of the devil fruit? Ross meditated in his heart. If it is because of the difference in the nature of the fruit, then there should be six fruits in the world, the external Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), the internal vibrating fruit, the external Distortion Fruit, the internal twisted fruit, the external split fruit, and the internal Chop-Chop Fruit. If this is the case, then he got lucky by getting the Distortion Fruit. If got a vibrating fruit or twist fruit maybe it can create an alternative matchup with Robins Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi)? Forget it. Rosss mouth slightly twitched at its corners and he no longer thinks about it. CHAPTER 131 NOT A CLUE Previous ChapterNext Chapter Looking back, Ross began to think about another possibility, that is, the external shock of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), is perhaps the effect of Devil Fruit awakening? This possibility exists, but it is difficult to explain that when Blackbeard seizes Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) of Whitebeard, he is directly capable of producing external shock, unless the ability of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) seized by Blackbeard is directly the awakening state that Whitebeard develops to the limit. If so. So what I have touched before is the feeling that can release the power of distortion from the body and it is extremely rare among the abilities What about Devil Fruit Awakening? Apart from the Impel down Jailer who may have the Zoan awakening, Paramecia awakening has a very small reflection in Rosss memory, In his memory, only Doflamingo awakened his devil fruit and his Devil Fruit belonged to Paramecia category. If my fruit can be awakened, it will become interesting. Ross looked at his hands. For a long time, he had a vague idea that the ability to activate from Talent System, such as Light Distortion and Gravity Distortion might not be the normal abilities of the Distortion Fruit, but all the abilities that should be possessed only after awakening! Just because Talent System exists, he can use these capabilities ahead of time without awakening or development. If so, that is to say, when his fruit awakens, all of his abilities will be strengthened, resulting in a huge qualitative change! Ross is not sure if it can reach Marine Admirals level after such a qualitative change, but at least he can reach the same level as Doflamingo! Awakening Ross perceives the power of distortion in the body and keeps it flowing throughout his body, but he has no clue about the so-called awakening. There is too little introduction to Devil Fruits awakening in the original series. Right, I almost forgot about the CP9 group. They have been exposed to so many secret intelligence in the World Government and maybe they had been exposed to news like Devil Fruit Awakening. After thinking for a moment, Ross turned back to the cabin, took out Den Den Mushi, dialed Den Den Mushi of Kaku, the Intelligence team is headed by Kaku, although Jabra is a little dissatisfied. Den Den Mushi is quickly connected. Ross rarely communicates directly with Kaku, most of the times his orders are relayed by Robin, but occasionally he bypasses Robin to give orders directly. Kaku, have you ever been exposed to Intelligence about Devil Fruit Awakening before? Devil Fruit Awakening? On the other side of Den Den Mushi, a voice of doubts came from Kaku, saying, No, Ive never heard of it. Ill ask Jabra about it As he spoke, Kaku dialed Jabras Den Mushi and asked Blueno next to him. The answer was that they had never heard about Devil Fruits awakening. Im sorry Captain, but we can collect some intelligence about this. Good. Ross nodded, not surprisingly, to Kakus answer. Although CP9 is a powerful intelligence organization, Kaku and others did not have Robin like memory. They can forget something in their minds. They can only investigate when they need it. And now they have lost their CP9 status and can no longer mobilize the power of the governments intelligence agencies and the governments database. Right, I am going to report to you about the intelligence of Supernova and Shichibukai I will pass it on to you with the image Den Den Mushi. The sound of the documents flipping was heard from Kakus end. The image Den Den Mushi is a special Den Den Mushi capable of projecting images. There are many kinds of Den Den Mushi in the world. Ross has been collecting all kinds of Den Den Mushi and has made a room especially for Den Den Mushi alone. Keeping in touch with Kaku, Ross came to the Den Den Mushi room and looked at the rows of Den Den Mushi and the labels on the counter and quickly took out the image Den Den Mushi. Patter! After the image Den Den Mushi was opened, It immediately projected on a piece of white on the wall and issued rustling sound. After a few seconds, the other side was connected. After a flash, a clear image appeared, which was a map. This is a map of the Grand Line, far more clear than what Ross has today. It shows nearly half of the island in the first half and the small part of the island in the second half. On these islands, the location of pirate Supernovas and Seven Warlords of the Sea are clearly marked, including Doflamingo, Gekko Moria and others. Naturally. Many others, such as Hawkeye and Kumas location have not been marked on the map, and out of all pirate Supernova, three of whom who had a bounty of more than 200 million berries has entered New World. They all went to the New World Looking at the label of the map, Ross had to slightly shake his head. Now in the first half, only one of the pirates with a bounty over 200 million is left. There are still two between 100 million and 200 million, but the distance is too far and the uncertainty is too great if he runs that far. In addition to Supernova, one of Shichibukai fell into Rosss eyes, Shichibukai Gekko Moria, clearly marked as landing in the Devil Triangle sea. The devil triangle sea, which is close to the Impossible Island is almost connected to storm sea, forming a triangle and a circle. Good job. Ross saved the image and, after a little thought, he said to Kaku on the other side of Den Den Mushi: The next mission is to collect intelligence about Devil Fruits awakening, and the whereabouts of Sand Fruit, metal attribute and Barrier-Barrier Fruit. The owner of Sand Sand Fruit and barrier fruit and metal fruit died by Rosss hands. After the death of the Devil Fruit user, the devil fruit will regenerate somewhere in the sea after a while. So far, the only way to stop this regeneration and directly capture Devil Fruits ability is to eat the dark fruit of Black Beard Teach, which Ross does not have. These three fruits, even though they are not comparable to Rumble-Rumble Fruit, are also powerful and capable of creating three very strong Battle forces. If there is a chance to seize them then Ross will naturally get them. In addition, You should also pay some attention to Marines. If you find any big moves, report it to me immediately. Understood. Kaku responded before he hung up Den Den Mushi and ended the call. Ross put the communication Den Mushi in his pocket and he took out the previously saved image and he looked at it carefully for a moment, he went out of the cabin and came to Robins room and put his hand on the door. Squeak! The latch was drawn from the inside as Ross pushed the door open. Robin was leaning against the bed in a thin shirt, her slender white jade feet gently on the windowsill, her hairs were still wet as if she had just finished exercising and taking a bath. She looked at the book in her hand without raising her head and her face was calm. Whats the matter? Captain. Later, tell Laffitte to sail to the Florian Triangle. By the way, theres one more thing I want to ask you Ross closed the door behind him and went into the room. Youve seen Devil Fruit before. Have you heard about Devil Fruits awakening? Devil Fruit Awakening? Robin laid down her book and looked at Ross, with a flicker of thought in her eyes. She said, I do seem to have seen this word She recalled for a moment, shook her head at Ross and said, I should have seen the word but I didnt read anything about it. I wasnt interested in Devil Fruit at that time. I see. Ross nodded as he glanced at the smooth long legs of Robin on the windowsill and turned and walked away. CHAPTER 132 FLORIAN TRIANGLE Previous ChapterNext Chapter Leaving Robins room, Ross returned to the deck and looked at the boundless sea for a moment, then he jumped again and charged towards the sea below. With the power of Gravity Distortion, Ross floated on the surface of the sea, his feet gently stepping on a wave and the power of distortion suddenly stimulated and pours into the sea. Instantaneously. A funnel-shaped whirlpool appeared at Rosss feet. As he pondered, he floated down to the whirlpool and soon entered the sea. Ross stretched out a hand and pressed it on the nearby seawater, which was repulsed by the power of distortion, forming a spherical anhydrous space, like a special bubble of the Sabaody Archipelago. Very soon. Ross came to the bottom of the sea, this is the place near the shore with only a depth of ten meters, standing here and looking up he can see the sea surface. Looking at the surrounding scenery, Ross walked deeper in the sea. He doesnt know how long it took but the water above his head suddenly slammed towards him from both sides. In an instant, the water tens of meters above him split sharply in the direction of the separation of his palms. Whiz! Ross raised his foot and rushed out of the sea and took a step on the sea surface. Crash! Hundreds of meters around the sea surged suddenly under his power and it looked like the water has lost its gravity as it flew toward the sky, constantly converging and finally turned into a huge blue water ball that quietly suspended in the air, there were even some panicked fish in the blue ball that was suspended in the air. Is this my limit? Ross came over the water ball and stepped on the surface of the water ball. Such a wide range of water ball was almost the limit of his control, enough to wrap a large Battleship in it. Rosss stamina is consuming rapidly in the state of limit-triggered power of distortion. He tries to touch Devil Fruits awakening in the way of limit-triggered power of distortion. Ross flies up a little and his feet leave the surface of the water ball. At the moment of departure, Ross felt extremely laborious and as time went on his efforts to keep the ball in shape began to grow larger and larger. He tried to manipulate the gravity of the water ball without touching it directly but ultimately failed. Ten seconds later, the water ball began to crash down. Twenty seconds later, the water ball began to fall apart and large areas fell to the sea. Thirty seconds later, the water ball completely disappeared. Cant I do Ross looked at his palm. In his palm, a fist-sized water ball was suspended. Although it was suspended quietly, it would slide down silently every dozen seconds and then again become suspended when it touched Rosss palm. After repeating this several times, Ross shook his head and threw away the small water ball and again charged into the sea below, once again creating a huge water ball. Once. Twice. Three times. He doesnt know how many times he repeated this process. Every time his stamina runs out, Ross returns to the ship, drinks water, eats, massages his muscles and then returns to the sea again. In the tireless continuity, Ross has become more and more comfortable with the power of Distortion Fruit, even subtle enough to use the power of distortion to delicately cut the shell cooked shrimps. Period. Ross also occasionally experienced the special feeling he experienced while fighting Leader Don Chinjao, which seemed to release the power of distortion in the air but he could never translate this feeling into reality. Is it because the power of distortion is not strong enough? In practice, Ross is constantly thinking that the power of distortions is not strong enough, It is a strong possibility, just as physical strength being not strong enough to practice Marines Rokushiki. Seven days later, Log Pose magnetism was finally stored up and Laffitte returned to the ship, he used the three arrows of Log Pose to steer Ghost Shadow Ship towards the Florian Triangle. If the power of distortion is not strong enough, then I will use Moria to improve it. Ross thought. Ten days later. Ghost Shadow Ship drives away from storm sea and enters the foggy Florian Triangle Sea, which is not Morias home, but a special climate. It is the Great Age of Pirates at the end of thirteen years. Moria entered the sea only two years ago. There is no direction at all our line of sight is also greatly disturbed. In the midst of the fog, the Ghost Shadow Ship is slowly sailing. Laffitte stands in front of the deck, measuring the wind and current and observing the surrounding environment and shook his head helplessly. Ross stood beside him, looked around at the fog and asked Robin, How much food and fresh water do we have? According to Captains usage, its about a month and a half. Robin thought a little and responded to Ross. The biggest person on board is Xilu, but the biggest eater is Ross. Because his practice consumes a lot of physical energy, Ross can eat as much as Xilu, Robin, and others combined. Fortunately, at sea, they can take local materials to eat at any time. Rosss power of distortion can catch a large number of fishes in an instant and it is not difficult to dive into the seabed to sweep them up Ok Ross nodded and turned towards Laffitte: Dont worry about the direction of Log Pose. This sea is not that big. Well sail this sea in a circle and well have a chance to meet him. Morias terrifying three-masted sailing ship The Thriller Bark, though comparable in size to an small island, it is not a real Island and cannot be found through Log Pose. Ross only knows that he is in this sea area, but he cant guess an accurate position. Well, if that Gekko Moria ship is really that big, even if its foggy, it will still be possible to find it within a certain distance. Laffitte slightly smiled, he is a mysterious navigator recognized by Ross, although the fog of this sea is too serious, he still has his methods. Shichibukai, Gekko Moria Trafalgar Law also came to the deck, holding his demon knife sword in his arms and he leaned back against the deck. When entering the Florian Triangle Sea, Ross told everyone that their next goal was to defeat a Shichibukai, Gekko Moria. As for the reason Theres enough reason to kill another Shichibukai, to make big news, to rise in prestige or something. Laffitte, a restless person, is happy to find something to do. Do you feel cheated by Captain? Standing not far from Law, Robin gently smiled and said, Even if you didnt get on board, Captain may still move on Doflamingo when he gets to the New World. Law shook his head. Do not. Even if thats the case, Id like to stay here and be a witness. He gazed at the foggy sea, his eyes sparkling and there was no confusion or fear in them. There was just a trace of determination to avenge Corazon and destroy Doflamingo, at any costs. CHAPTER 133 THRILLER BARK Previous ChapterNext Chapter In the Florian Triangle sea, the Ghost Shadow Ship sailed slowly. Sailing in this foggy and gloomy sea, Ghost Shadow Ship feels like a fish in the water. Its color is dull. Now in this sea, it is like a ghost ship sailing out of hell. Seven days passed quickly, and within seven days, Ghost Shadow Ship encountered debris from time to time, some of which had been shaking and rotting in the sea for decades. Whoop, somethings coming. It doesnt seem quite fit Captains description. Laffitte, who spent most of his time sitting on the sentry post at the top of the Ghost Shadow Ship mast, suddenly noticed something. He stood up and looked ahead at the sea, his eyes glittering slightly. It was a huge ship, its hull looked shabby and worn out. It seemed that it was an old ship. Looking at the erosion and decay of the wood and sails, it was a ship from twenty or thirty years ago. Ross and others came out of the cabin to the deck. No, not this one. Looking at the approaching crumbling ship, Ross shook his head. Although it was very large, it was much smaller than the terrifying three-mast sail ship named Thriller Bark. Hearing that it was not the goal of the trip, Law and Xilu calmed down and as the broken ship approached, strange voices suddenly sounded from it. Squeak Squeak As if some wood was moving, and as if some broken door had been pushed open. When the two ships were staggered, a white skeleton appeared on the side of the broken ship, sitting there, smiling gloomily at Ross and others. There was silence on the Ghost Shadow Ship. Whether it was Laffitte, Robin, or Law, there was no screaming form this encounter, all of them were calm. Ross looked at the skeleton without expression. Suddenly, his figure flashed and he left Ghost Shadow Ship. The next moment, Ross appeared on the broken ship. Then. They heard a crashing sound. A few minutes later, Ross emerged from the stern of the wrecked ship, tidied up his sleeves, jumped forward, crossed an arc in the air and returned to Ghost Shadow Ship. Did anything interesting happen? Captain. Laffitte smirked at Ross. Ross shook his head and said, No, I just asked some questions from a skeleton who has lived here for decades. Okay, keep sailing. Law and Xilu looked at each other, then went to the cabin one after another and soon there was only Laffitte left on the deck. Five more days passed. Laffitte was initially interested in this piece of the sea but then he lost his interest. On that day, as he was leaning on the sentry post on the top of the ship, his ears moved and his eyes glistened in the fog ahead. That is In the fog, a huge shadow loomed, far from being comparable to the old wrecked ship and its size was similar to that of an island! And according to Laffittes observation and judgment, the shadow is not fixed, but moving on the sea, It is a huge ship! I finally found it. Whoop. Laffitte stood up straight, his bored expression was swept away as his mouth showed a hint of a smile and he quickly informed Ross and Robin. The Ghost Shadow Ship is gradually approaching the huge terrifying three-masted sailship. The main entrance of the huge ship is a huge mouth similar to a human mouth when it was open. Within the back of the misty, a gloomy castle emerged and the atmosphere seemed extremely depressed. Should we just go in? Captain? Laffitte looked at the front door with its huge open mouth. Instead of being afraid, he looked interested and turned to Ross. Ross nodded calmly. Morias strength is almost at the bottom of Shichibukai. Even if he swallows a thousand shadows and can break a small island in half which is comparable to Luffys fourth-gear Great Ape King kong gun, but the trick is extremely clumsy. And it is easy to lose consciousness. In contrast, Doflamingo not only has the original identity of tenryubito, but also holds the secret of tenryubito, and grasps the innumerable transactions and intelligence in the dark world. It will be a lot more difficult to deal with him. Crash! Ghost Shadow Ship sailed slowly into the interior of the terrifying three-mast sailboat and the rear gate closed silently, like a beast from hell, swallowing Ghost Shadow Ship in one gulp. After another voyage, Ghost Shadow Ship arrived at the shore. Xilu, you stay here and watch the ship. Ross jumped up and landed on the shore, giving a command to Xilu. Among all the people, besides him, Xilu and Laffitte have the strongest Observation Haki. Laffitte is obviously eager to learn Gekko Morias methods, so he had to leave Xilu behind to guard the ship. Xilu was not very adapted to the gloomy environment and nodded at his words. Lets go. Laffitte, Robin, and Law all landed on the shore, Ross slight smile and walked towards the gloomy Fort City in front of him. As the four advanced, the surrounding environment became more and more ghastly, the trees grew very strange, and even a large number of tombstones and graves appeared. Rosss face was dull, Laffittes smile was getting bigger and bigger, Laws face was expressionless and Robin was also interested in watching the scenes around her. Rustle! As the four moved forward, a rustling sound came from the dark woods, and then suddenly, the grave burst open, and a large number of skeletons and Zombies wrapped in bandages emerged from it. All of them made a gesture with their teeth and claws and made a strange sound of hoot hoot hoot. Ross: Robin: Law: Laffitte: oh. boom! boom! Bang! Bang! There was a burst of explosions in the graveyard, from which panic and screams were heard. The heads of several zombies flew up into the sky and the heads of several zombies touched their buttocks. Several zombies seemed to be real zombies, tearing their teeth and claws at their companions. Ross and Law stepped out of it without expression and went on to the Fort City of Moria. Robin grinned and smiled: This ability, its quite interesting. Only you find it interesting. Law screamed in his heart as he wielded the demon knife, his eyes were cold and indifferent. Laffitte swung his cane and smiled. Its an interesting ability to manipulate zombies Uh huh? His voice stopped suddenly and his ears moved slightly as if he had caught something. Meanwhile. Ross and Robins footsteps also stopped. The slowest reaction was Law, but when he noticed Rosss reaction, he stopped and looked around vigilantly. Robin stood there looking at the front, but her eyes were constantly turning to one side and finally, her arms were raised and slightly crisscrossed in front of her. What do you want to do? Mr. Transparent? Silence. More than a dozen arms appeared in the air, showing the shape of someone, which seemed to grasp something close to Robin. It is the ability of transparent fruit,Absalom. Ross casually looked at Robin as she had captured someone who was invisible by using her Observation Haki, Her haki has improved by a lot in such a short time. In fact, Using his Light Distortion ability, he can easily become transparent, but since Robin has learned the Observation Haki, it is impossible for him to sneak into the bathroom. Bang! Absalom struggled hard to break free of Robins hold and using his strength he was able to make 10 arms disappear, but in this process, it also showed his figure. His pupil contracted when his eyes fell upon Ross. He had planned to play tricks on Ross and others, but as soon as he got close, Ross and others noticed him. He stared at Ross and said in a solemn voice: You are Ghost Hand Ross?! CHAPTER 134 INVASION Previous ChapterNext Chapter It seems that you are not ignorant of the outside world. Ross looked calmly at Absalom, In this foggy sea news bird will not come, Moria mostly has other channels to get intelligence. With his hands behind his back, he asked indifferently, Where is Moria? Absalom stared at Ross with trepidation and vigilance. He did not answer Rosss question but prepared to step back. Suddenly, he bent his knees and launched his transparency powers. He also bounced into the darkness towards the rear. However, Ross snorted as he lifted his foot and gently stepped on them. The ground was like a blanket as it wrinkled in an instant. Absalom back hit the raised ground directly and was immediately squeezed into the middle by the mud bank used around him. Bang!! Ross held out his hand and grasped it from a distance. The surging earth suddenly tightened to the center, making a slamming sound as it turned into a raised grave. In his memory, this guy sneaked into Namis bathroom with transparency and Ross was not ashamed but jealous because he was able to use transparency to sneak into the bathroom while he could not use Light Distortions ability to transparently do things like sneaking into the bathroom. Lets Go. After killing Absalom, Ross turned and continued to walk towards the distant City Fort. Thriller Bark is the largest ship in the world. It is comparable to a small island. There is more than one City Fort on it. After Ross and others went deep into the section, there were several roads leading to different City Fortes. Rosss memory of this ship is not clear and even if he recalls it, there is no way he would be able to instantly form a map in his mind. Three roads, Ill go in the middle. Ross looked ahead at the three forks and chose the central road directly because the central road leads to the largest Fort City. Oh, then I will go this way Laffitte gently pinched the corner of his hat with his finger, made a weird laugh and went to the right side of the road. Finally, there was a left side of the road. Law walked past, carrying the devils knife and went towards the left path. Robin was thinking lightly. When she was about to choose, there was a strange sound coming from behind. She saw a three-headed dog appearing in the darkness behind her and growling at her. Ohh? Its so cute. Robin looked at the Cerberus showing a hint of surprise on her face. Her appreciation of ugly creatures always made Law and Ross want to vomit, but neither Law nor Ross is here right now. Central City Fort. In a dark room, Gekko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who is very fat is lying on a huge bed and at this moment, several figures hurried in and woke him up. Ah I had a nightmare. Moria rubbed his head and sat up on the bed. Thats great, Lord Moria. The bandaged zombie, headed by him said respectfully to Moria. Its three days since the last night raid. Youve been sleeping all the time. Weve prepared food for you for three days. This prey is very strong. It is the Ghost Hand Pirates which defeated Marines in the Spring Island. If you can get their shadow, it will definitely help you. The suspension bounty of Ghost Hand Ross is the highest one they have ever encountered. The suspension bounty of Ghost Hand Ross is up to 440 million Berries. However. Before becoming a Shichibukai, Moria had a bounty of up to 320 million Berries and even went to New World to challenge Hundred Beast Kaido, one of the Four Emperors (Four Emperors)! How can a measly Ghost Hand Pirates be stronger then Hundred Beast Kaido? The difference is too wide and far and this is his home, so they only have the excitement of doing meritorious deeds as they are sure that they would win. Moria squinted slightly as he heard his zombie subordinates words. Oh? Is that the guy who killed Crocodile,Where are Dr.Hogback and Absalom? Having arrived at New World and challenged Hundred Beast Kaido and he survived despite failures and loss of his crew members, Moria despises people other than Yonko, even Ghost Hand Pirates are nothing to him. There is no fear or any other emotion for pirates who have learned and seen one of the strongest existence of the ocean. Absalom has been dispatched. Call everyone The shadow of the Ghost Hand Pirates, if you can get it, will be enough to make my zombie Legion stronger and I will be closer to the position of the Pirate King. Moria showed his fangs and a strange laugh echoed through the room. West City Fort. Hogback, one of the three mysterious subordinates of Moria had just come out of the lab with a little blood on his hand. He took off his gloves and threw them aside. At this moment, a zombie came in from the outside and bowed to Hogback: Lord Hogback, Lord Moria has summoned you. Huh? Hogback glanced at the zombie and said, Really, I just got out of the lab and havent eaten a piece of pudding yet Shaking his head, he walked out the door. ! But just then, there was a sound of crashing outside, as if something had rushed in and started to beat someone up. With a wrinkled eyebrow, Hogback pushed open the door and went out, listening to the movement in his City castle, he could not help asking, What happened?! Lor Lord Hogback, someone broke in. A zombie ran towards him in panic and reported to Hogback: He is very strong. We cant stop him. Hogback now vaguely knew why Moria had called them all of a sudden. It looked like a group of heavyweight preys had come. He grinned and walked in the direction of the news. Very soon. After passing through several rooms, he came to a hall where a mess of books, murals, and carpets were cut into pieces, which were stuffed into shadows and turned into living objects. Youre the gifted surgeon Hogback? Law stood in the middle of the hall, holding the devils knife, looking at Hogback who was coming out of the inner hall. Hogback grinned, revealed four long, pointed beast-like teeth, and gave a strange laugh. He said, You are very knowledgeable, yes, I am the world-famous Dr. Hogback! Laws face was expressionless and he didnt do anything about it. The demon knife in his hand pointed towards the zombies he had cut open and said, Are these your masterpieces? Those zombies have obvious marks of cutting and stitching. Hogback showed a proud expression on his face and said, Naturally, my experiments Sucks. Law interrupted Hogbacks words gave him the second half of the sentence. Hobaks throat went stiff and his proud face froze in an instant and gradually became gloomy, staring coldly at Law and saying, What did you say? I said, Your masterpieces sucks. Law put the demon knife on his shoulders and said calmly, Whether it is stitching or other parts Oh, I forget to tell you, I am also a doctor. In front of Law, who owns Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit, Hogbacks so-called splicing operations are so rotten that they cant be worse, but they still have a high reputation in the world, which, in Laws view, is somewhat unbearable. Hogbacks face contracted as he bit his teeth and his eyes were filled with anger as he said: Kid, Youre ten years too early to comment on my medical skills! Die! The moment his voice fell, he shouted angrily at the many zombies that had already gathered inside and outside the room. In the instant, countless zombies rushed towards Law. Law calmly raised the sword in his hand. CHAPTER 135 HUNTING Previous ChapterNext Chapter City Fort in the east. Laffitte sneaked into it silently and his hiding skills were superb, but unfortunately, he was hit by the ghost of Perona, one of the mysterious four, through the wall. Affected by a negative ghost, Laffitte was not angry at his inadequacy. Instead, he stood up and showed an interesting expression, avoiding the rest of the negative ghosts and disappeared into the darkness of Fort City. The hide-and-seek game started on this side. Outside the area, a large number of zombies appeared to besiege Robin. However. Robins capabilities have been developed to a certain extent and she also has Observation Haki. Faced with this sea of people tactics, there is no pressure on her. With her own power, she will be able to defeat these large number of zombies. Central City Fort. Moria was waiting for the three mysteries to gather, but instead of them, Ghost Hand Ross of Ghost Hand Pirates appeared. Passing through the oppressed darkness, Ross appeared at the main entrance below the central City Fort. The huge front door was tightly closed, but Ross did not stop, let alone knock on the door and put his hand directly on the huge door. Bang! The power of distortions burst and the huge door instantly centered on the position touched by Rosss palm turned into a whirlpool-like shape. After a spiral Distortion, the door burst apart and splashed around in countless pieces of wood and iron. The big door was now destroyed and Ross stepped into the hall. At a glance, he saw several startled and bewildered zombies. Where is Moria? Ross asked expressionlessly. Several zombies looked at each and gave a strange cry. Instead of answering Rosss question, they fled in three directions. However. Before they could escape far, the floor suddenly rolled like waves, wrapping them in it and suddenly squeezed them and turned them into a bunch of bandages and broken bones. Ross stepped forward and looked up at the top of the City Fort. His Observation Haki had noticed a distinctive atmosphere on the City Fort. Top level. Gekko Moria was sitting at the dinner table and suddenly he shook with the entire fort that forced the pudding in his hand to end up on his head, He stood up embarrassed and in great confusion. What happened?! Moria was furious as he wiped his forehead, he suddenly stood up and screamed around and in the resounding roar, several zombies ran over in panic. Lord Moria, its not good, someone broke in! Its Captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates! Several zombies showed some panic on their faces and at the same time, they heard more intense sounds coming from City fort below, which made the whole City Fort shake-up, with a vague sense of being collapsed. Moria stared, and a few bloodstains appeared in his eyes. Damn it! He screamed angrily. Just as he was about to rush down, the top floor shook violently and then slammed and collapsed. A strange power shrouded the entire City Fort, turning the whole City Fort into rubber, screwed up the upper and lower parts and turned to the center to gather and squeeze. Bang Rumble! The walls began to collapse and collapse in a large area. In a violent sound, the whole City Fort collapsed completely. In the spattering of numerous rubble, Rosss figure was suspended in the air with his hands stretched out in front of him. Such a tremendous movement naturally shocked Hogback who commanded the zombies to deal with Law and it also alarmed Laffitte and Perona who were playing a game of Hide-and-seek. How could it be Morias City Fort Hogback looked at Morias City Fort with a stunned look on his face. ! A sword flashed and more than ten zombies were cut into pieces. Although they were immortal, Laws ability to cut them was also harmless to them. But It did not mean anything to Law. When he waved his finger, they were all randomly spliced into a pile of zombie balls and could not move. After killing a large number of zombies, Law looked at panicked Hogback and said, Im sorry, youre finished. Ill take back the name of a gifted surgeon. Crash! Below the collapsed City Fort, black shadows, like bats, flew in all directions, splashing the rubble around and Morias figure burst out of the ruins, with a little blood on his head, making him look terrifying. Looking at his collapsed City Fort, the muscles on his face kept twitching and finally turned into a rage as he looked towards Ross who was floating in the sky. Ghost HandRoss!!! How dare you destroy my City Fort! Shadow guns! His eyes were bloody, he shouted fiercely in fury and his arms were raised upwards. Bat-shaped shadows quickly converged, turned into a black spear and rushed towards Ross who was suspended in the sky. Faced with the fast, light-like shadow guns, Ross raised his feet expressionlessly and power of distortions fell suddenly. Bang! Under the impact of the power of distortion, the dark shadow angle guns, like a spear oppressed by a great force, showed a curved state and finally burst apart. At the next moment, Rosss figure flickered and he used Gepp (Moonwalk) to swoop down from the air and rushed toward Moria. Damn it. Moria was shocked to see Ross crushing his shadow guns with one foot because it looked as if he had crushed his shadow guns with physical brutality, which reminded him of his fear of being dominated by Hundred Beast Kaido. Fear flashed through his eyes. Moria gritted his teeth and gave a low cry. He suddenly disappeared and in his original place, a shadow doppelganger just like him appeared. Kagemusha(Shadow Warrior)! Bang! Ross punched the black shadow and the shadow became a myriad of black bats. His face was unchanged as he utilized Observation Haki to clearly captured Morias position and rushed toward Morias body again. So fast! Morias pupils shrank and his hands slammed toward Ross. Flying bats! Shadow Master! A large number of black shadows turned into bats and rushed towards Ross, making strange noises, trying to tear Ross apart, while a black, Moria-like shadow rushed towards Ross. Thats all you have, Moria. Ross stared at the black bats flying in his direction indifferently. He ran into them without any consideration. He was surrounded by the power of distortion and all bats touching his body were torn apart by his overwhelming power. CHAPTER 136 DISINTEGRATION How can it be Morias pupils contracted violently as Rosss rampant way of attacking completely ignored the way he attacked, It was almost identical to Hundred Beast Kaidos attacks. The fear in his memory came up again, a cold sweat overflowed on his forehead and he kept telling himself in his heart that Ross was not Hundred Beast Kaido. Kagemusha(Shadow Warrior)! Moria once again exchanged positions with his shadow. Now he can only summon two shadow doppelg?nger at a single time as it takes time for the shadow doppelg?nger to recover when it explodes. With fear in his heart, Moria struggled to bite his teeth and after switching positions, gave a loud and violent shout and used his strongest attacks. Shadows Asgard(Territory of Gathered Shadows)! In an instant, countless shadows crazily rushed towards Moria and taking him as the center they turned into a whirlpool, which was constantly swallowed by Moria and his figure grew with the swallowing. Originally as high as six meters tall, after continuous devouring, quickly reached seven meters Eight meters Nine meters Become a giant in a dark hue! I, absolutely impossible, like that time!! Moria, who swallowed hundreds of shadows gave a roar and punched towards Ross, This punch seemed like a landslide and could easily crush a Fort City. Whiz! Ross did not fight hard and deflected himself in the air, then bypassed Morias fist and came to Morias front. Clumsy ability, Clumsy moves. I heard that you have challenged Hundred Beast Kaido? I dont know how you could survive him with only these abilities. Rosss eyes were indifferent as his right hands five fingers folded and clenched and his fluttering fist struck between Morias chest and abdomen. If Moria can fully grasp this huge power and use it with great flexibility, he can at least rival Three Disasters, even if he is not as good as Hundred Beast Kaido, but it is not his own power, it can not be sustained and it can not be controlled and Moria rely too much on his subordinate. Bang! The fist which was totally disproportionate to Morias body fell on Morias body but made Morias huge body suddenly appear deformation, as if he had been hit between the chest and abdomen by a speeding train. His round belly suddenly turned into a whirlpool, under which Morias eyes it turned white and a lot of shadows gushed out of his mouth. Oh, your endurance seems to have increased. Seeing Moria, who was smashed by his punch and didnt fall completely. Ross looked calm and flew forward and punched him again. If your speed can reach your level of strength and endurance, it will be very difficult to defeat you, unfortunately, this is not your own strength, you can not control it. Ross looked calmly at Moria who was flying backward. Whiz! When his voice fell, Rosss figure flashed and rushed back towards Moria. Morias vitality was very strong as he was still alive. Coughcough Moria, who had smashed several buildings and smashed into the ruins, tried hard to lift up his body, but it was hard to do so. Did I lose just like that? My strongest attack Shadow Asgard is still weak just as it was at that time. He watched as Ross flew towards him and at this time his memory was very chaotic. Ghost Hand RossYou If you have the ability, go there, where the real nightmare lies Moria, who had fallen into the ruins, finally distinguished Ross from Hundred Beast Kaido and screamed. Nightmare, do you mean Hundred Beast Kaido? Ross slowly fell from the sky, suspended in front of Maria, and said with indifferent eyes, Unfortunately, you wont be able to see the day when I defeated him. Bang! Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gecko Moria, has been hunted, earned a reward of, 50 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Point. Ross slightly shook his head as he listened to the voice coming from his ear. It seemed that Shichibukai was among the hunting rules of the Talent System. As for Free Talent Points, it was mostly a bonus. After killing Moria. Ross fell back to the ground and judged the direction of the movement on the island and left. Almost half a minute after Ross left, a figure came slowly and stopped in front of Marias body. He held Den Den Mushi in his hand and exhaled a cold breath in the air. Moria is dead. Den Den Mushi was silent for a second at the other end and then came an angry voice, Did that guy do it again? He is killing Seven Warlords of the Sea one after another No. On the other side of Den Den Mushi came a second voice with a calm tone. Since he died in the hands of Pirates, it means that Moria is too weak to qualify for Shichibukai, so its better to change people as soon as possible. Since you are there, get rid of the Ghost Hand Pirates, dont let them continue their journey. On the other side of Den Den Mushi came the voice of a third person, in a calm tone. I think so too. Standing in front of Morias body, The unknown man slowly opened his mouth, hung up the Den Den Mushi, exhaled again and stepped away. In the direction of his exhaling, a white frost emerged on the broken buildings and the area is constantly overflowing with a trace of cold. Thriller Bark. The central city castle was turned into a ruin. In the west-facing city castle, Law slowly stepped out of it. The sharp end of the demon knife in his hand was still a little bloodstained. Hogback himself has little strength and the zombies, in general, did not pose a threat to Law, but even so, he spent a lot of stamina in the fight, he is still too young and weak after all. In the east-facing Fort City, Peronas body was suddenly thrown into a gift box on the bed. A frightening ghost popped up and frothed and she fainted in an instant. Laffittes figure flashed through the darkness. Periphery. Pieces of zombies screamed and wailed. They were all split into pieces by Robin. Robin didnt like the bloody scenes, but these strange trees and Zombies didnt bleed and she preferred ugly things so she enjoyed the demolition. After being defeated by Hundred Beast Kaido, Morias hard-earned forces collapsed in an instant under the impact of Rosss Ghost-Hand Pirates. Chapter 137 Bitter Experience! Aokiji Has it all been dealt with? Ross arrives first at the three-way fork road and glances at the split zombie trees and Cerberus and headed towards the newly arrived Law. Law carried the demon knife on his shoulder and said: I killed a doctor named Hogback. What about Laffitte? Ross looked around and found that Laffitte did not come and he was surprised. If Law met Hogback, then Laffitte should have met Perona and should have been the first one to come here. Just when Ross was surprised, Laffittes figure finally appeared. He came to the front and took out a cloak from somewhere and shook it in the air. Maybe Captain will be interested in this. Laffitte gently smiled, pulled back his cloak and revealed a small gift box. The ghost Princess Perona was tied up and placed in the gift box with a look of panic in her eyes. Ross: Robin slightly squinted, and Law stood with his head tilted irrespective. Ross exhaled, rubbed his eyebrows and said, The power of the ghost fruit may come in handy. Now that youve caught her, bring her with you. Laffitte had a slightly demonic smile on his face. Law lowered the eaves of his hat. Robin also took back her attention. After a little tidying up, everyone turned around and planned to leave. Perona was released, but she was still tied by a rope and could only whine. However. Just as the crowd came to the shore, their movements were all stopped. Tearful Perona, who was following them, almost ran into Ross in front of her and whined again. Suddenly, something went wrong and her voice stopped. Everyones eyes are looking towards the shore, where the Ghost Shadow Ship is, but the whole ship has turned into a beautiful ice sculpture. On the railing of the ship, sitting alone. Marine Headquarters Admiral Aokiji! Ah rara, I havent seen you for years and youve become a big girl, Nico Robin, but I am sorry, I cant let you continue sailing. Aokiji just sat there and looked at Ross and others calmly. His tone was very gentle and there was no redundant movement, but it brought a terrifying pressure to all the people present. On Rosss ship, there is no question of who doesnt know Aokiji as Kaku and others have already passed on the intelligence of Marine Three Admiral several times. The frozen sea, transformed into an ice sculpture of Ghost Shadow Ship, is a stiff dispel of his terrifying power. Robins forehead overflowed with cold sweat. If there was a person whom she feared most then there was no doubt that Aokiji had left her with fear and deep impression when she was very young. Laws face was so heavy that his pupils were shrinking violently. Even though he was very young now, he knew the horror of Marine Admiral very well. Although Laffitte remained calm, a light flashed through the depths of his eyes and his heart rate also increased. At this point, when they met a Marine Admiral, no one could remain calm. The same is true for Ross. He did not expect that Aokiji would appear on the Thriller Bark at this point in time and there was almost no sign. There was no chance to avoid him now. Ross is not Strawhat Luffy, no Garp, no grandfather who is kind to Aokiji, no Alabasta, and all the Marines who chased him are hell-bent on killing him, so no matter what Marine Admiral he encountered, he is in a very dangerous situation! The difference is that. Kizaru may play tricks slowly, Akainu may fight without saying a word and Aokiji may say two or three sentences. As Ross expected, Aokiji did not directly attack. Ghost Hand Ross. Aokiji sat there watching Ross and reached out and touched his chin. He said: I know everything about you. There is indeed some bad seeds inside the Marine. This situation is caused by lax management. It is our responsibility so I am going to apologize to you Having said that, Aokiji paused and his tone sank. But the things you did after that are unforgivable. I believe that as a man, you should know the consequences of your actions. Ghost Hand Pirates are dangerous, especially Ross. He knows better than anyone what will happen if he continues to let them go. He has his own justice and Rosss existence has touched his bottom line. Ross looked at Aokiji and thought about how to deal with him while he replied in a gentle tone. False words do not need to said here, Its the law of the jungle in this world, justice is dominated by power, if the person who controls power is me, then this would have not happened from the beginning. Since it is unavoidable, so fear, panic, and other emotions are all meaningless, meaningless things will not appear on Rosss face. Ah Lala, thats a terrible idea. Aokiji stared at Ross. He had his justice and principles. Ross hunted pirate and contributed to peace. But killing Marine was an unforgivable crime. There were no such things like doing good things that will eliminate the bad things in this world. Aokiji said nothing more. Turning to Robin on the other side, he said, Nico Robin, when I let you go, I said that we were enemies and that after you made a mistake, the first person to catch you will be me, unfortunately, You chose the wrong path. When Robin heard Aokijis words, she couldnt help but slightly bite her teeth and think of things happened when she was a child. Her hands were slightly clenched and she gritted her teeth. So, the destruction of OHaras is due to the so-called mistakes?! Aokijis eyes slightly widened when he heard Robins words. In fact. He used to have doubts about the existence of the government and the justice of Marine. He is not as determined to stand on the side of the government as Sengoku, nor does he insist on absolute justice like Akainu, He is constantly thinking about what justice was. In Marine Admirals position, he touched too many shadows. It goes without saying that Tenryubito knows too much about the governments massacre to cover up something. World Government, does it really represent justice?! However. Currently, Aokiji has just assumed Admirals post, he is not completely disappointed with the government and had not completely lost his faith in justice, but he still has his own beliefs. So after hearing Robins words, his heart just slightly fluctuated and he restored calm and slowly said, Breaking the law of the government is wrong. There is nothing more to say. Aokiji stood up slowly, half of his body slowly covered with a layer of ice. He looked down at Ross and others and said in a cold voice, You are dangerous elements, lets finish here as soon as possible. Chapter 138 Ice Age Kch! Kch! Almost at the next moment, in front of Aokiji, a large number of ice spears emerged, smashing the void and running towards Ross and Laffitte. Ross and others had been on guard for a long time, and at the moment Aokiji started, they made evasive moves one after another. I didnt expect to meet a Marine Admiral here Law took a deep breath and pulled out the demon knife. Even if the other party is a Marine Admiral, he would never easily fall here. He still had something to do! Laws movement is the slowest one. As early as his sword-drawing, Ross and Laffitte and others are already moving and counterattacking. After avoiding Aokijis ice spear, Ross came to the top of Aokiji in a flash, with his right fingers folded into a fist as he punched him. Aokiji raised his arm expressionlessly and waved his fist at Ross, but before his fist was up, a large number of arms suddenly appeared on his body, wrapping his body around. Silently, Laffitte appeared behind Aokiji and the mahogany cane in his hand jerked through Aokijis chest. Bang! At the next moment, Rosss fist slammed down on Aokijis body, Laffitte pulled out the stick and pulled back and Robin also dissipated her arms. Under the power of distortion, Aokijis body instantly burst into a large amount of crushed ice, spilling down on the already frozen sea. Can you use Haki? Sure enough, you cant be allowed to grow up anymore. Kch! Kch! The rapid condensation of ice once again gathered into the shape of Aokiji, who is unscathed! Ross had a glimpse of something his heart. He had just punched him. He was completely motivated and almost unreserved and he still couldnt hurt Aokiji. Aokiji used some way to avoid the damage! Was it Kenbonshoku(Observation) which captured the action and he was able to elementalize his body in advance or did Haki offset the damage? Whiz! When Aokiji regained his form, he suddenly left his place at a very fast speed and it seemed as if he had vanished out of thin air. In Rosss memory, there are very few scenes that express Aokijis speed. One of the most impressive scenes is that Doflamingos fingers had fallen in the moment he tried to kill Smoker, but Aokiji had frozen them in the air. Without doubt. Aokiji is not as fast as Kizaru in terms of speed, but he is someone who stands at the top of this sea and he is far stronger than anyone else here, including Ross! Almost instantly, Aokiji appeared behind Laffitte at a speed that even Rosss Observation Haki could only capture! Crash! Aokiji raised his hand and pressed it on Laffittes back. Laffittes face changed and he didnt know what to do. He suddenly turned into cherry blossoms and broke up. When he appeared again, he came to Robins side. He gasped violently, with a part of his back covered by a moraine-white frost, about the size of a palm, he apparently could not completely avoid it. Aokiji did not stop but showed up much faster than anyone else in the area. He came to Robins side and turned his arm into an ice knife trying to cut Robins neck. ROOM! Law, who had not been able to respond before, finally responded by swiftly switching Robins and Rosss positions. Instead of Robin, Ross gave Aokiji a fierce punch. Bang! The ice knife collided with Rosss Distortion Fist. After a stalemate for half a second, there was a dense crack in the ice and it finally burst apart. However, Aokijis expression did not change at all and his tone was indifferent. Ice Age! Buzz!! The bone-chilling cold spreads suddenly from under his feet and in an instant, it is shrouded in all directions. Its speed is so fast that even Ross cant stop it. Although the ice was contained by Rosss power of distortion, the three people, Law, Laffitte, and Robin, were frozen into ice sculptures in a flash. Distortion, Sonic explosion! Ross shouted loudly and the sound, under the influence of the power of distortion, suddenly surged, turning into a hoarse sound that could almost pierce the eardrum and explode in Aokijis ear. Aokiji didnt expect Ross to have this kind of attack. Immediately, his ears heard the sound and his head appeared dizzy for a moment and then he was punched by Ross. Bang! When the punch fell, Aokiji was once again turned into numerous pieces of ice falling into the distance. When he was reassembled, a trace of blood appeared on his mouth and he gently wiped it off with the back of his hand. You are quite strong, I didnt expect this. Ross looked at Aokiji, but his eyes were heavy. Taking advantage of the sonic boom opportunity, he delivered a full powered punch, which was one of the concealed means he had envisioned to deal with an Admiral and he was able to successfully implement it but the punch only caused a little minor injury to the other side. And Aokijis defense is very simple, that is Armament Haki, which is much better than Rosss Armament Haki. Even if it was due to the influence of the sound explosion, it did not form a hardening, but it also offset most of the damage. Afterward, the elementalization offset a part, so that the actual effect of Rosss punch could not be achieved. Kch! Kch! Laffittes ice sculptures shook a few times and were broken from the inside. He eventually used some Armament Haki to not get frozen into popsicles from the inside out. However, despite his break-out, his condition was very bad. His whole body was blue and he was in a state of severe frostbite. It seems that this time, our luck has run out, Captain. Laffittes mouth showed a bitter smile. With one mans power against their Ghost Hand Pirates, but it presented an overwhelming situation, this is Marine Admirals strength! They crushed the power of Gekko Moria Pirates and destroyed them in an instant, without any ability to compete! You go first, if you can take them with you. Ross took a deep breath. If Laffittes Armament Haki could be stronger and resist some of Aokijis freezing power, he would be able to join him and fight against Aokiji. If Robins Armament Haki can be stronger, she would not be instantly frozen into an ice sculpture. Fortunately, she would eventually use a little to not get completely frozen inside and outside into an ice sculpture but only frozen outside, similar to Laffitte, but worse than Laffitte as she is unable to break out. In Laws case, Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit might have survived. As for Xilu, looking at the Ghost Shadow Ship, which has been frozen into an ice sculpture, he doesnt have to guess the result. Total defeat! Neither Laffitte nor Rbion nor Law has the ability to work with him to deal with Aokiji. Although he cant deal with him himself, he can run away from one if he is alone. Okay, Captain. Laffitte restrained his old grinning expression, and the whole person was unprecedented solemn. His figure glittered like a ghost as he reached Robin and Laws position, they were taken together. Aokiji breathed out a cold, He indifferently said with a frosty face: I said, you dangerous people are better off dead here Whiz! Before the words were finished, Aokiji suddenly turned into a shadow as he charged towards Laffitte. But almost immediately, Ross moved at the same time. Although he was slower than Aokiji, his action was eerily ahead of time, as if his Observation Haki had risen sharply, blocking Aokiji. Huh? Aokijis eyes flashed. Ross shouldnt be able to react and act so accurately. He vaguely felt that Ross was a little different from before. Bang! Rosss punch fell upon Aokijis ice fist and their punches collided in the air, the ice kept growing and being crushed and ultimately Aokijis strength was better as the spread of ice caused Ross to fly back. Watching Laffitte disappear at the end of his line of sight, Aokijis eyes twinkle with cold and his figure rushes past in a flash. But it is at this moment that the frozen earth suddenly rolls up like a blanket, wrapping him in it in an instant. Again, Aokiji didnt expect this. Having been hindered, he finally lost sight of Laffitte. Although his Observation Haki could still capture Laffittes position, it became more and more blurred as the distance increased between them. Forget it Looking at the direction in which Laffitte fled, Aokiji shook his head and turned to look at Ross. Youre surprisingly calm to let your men run first. If Ross abandons Laffitte and others to escape by himself, Aokiji can defeat Laffitte in an instant and catch up immediately. There is no possibility of escape at all. But to let Laffitte flee with Robin and Law first, he could not defeat Ross in an instant. He could only chase Laffitte first, but he was blocked by Ross twice in a row and couldnt follow them. In the present situation, if he goes after Laffitte, kills Laffitte and others and comes back, he may not find Ross. Compared to other people. Eliminating Ross has a higher priority. Ross did not answer when he heard the Aokijis words. His eyes were calm and his entire body and mind were in a state of extream calm. This state is called Spirit Heart. It is a secondary talent on the Agility Enhancement branch of Talent System, similar to Tenacious, with the effect of Enhance his focus to the maximum! When concentration reaches its extreme, that is, calm to its extreme, Rosss Kenbonshoku (Observation) has almost reached its limit, and his own reaction speed has been elevated to its extreme because of extreme concentration. Although his bodys speed is much worse than that of Aokiji, Ross was able to block him twice depending on his current reaction speed and Observation Haki. Other than that. Killing Moria provided him with 50 Talent Proficiency Points, he put 30 points on the Distortion Fruit and 20 points on the Agility Enhancement. In this case, it is no longer possible to improve his physical fitness, only to maximize his speed and strength. Even if his body cannot bear it, he must have at least some hard-working capital, so as to have the possibility of final survival. The situation in front of him is the biggest crisis he has encountered since he came to this world! Chapter 139 Ross Vs Aokiji Hoo! Aokiji stood there, looking at Ross coldly, exhaling, leaving an icy mist in the air in an instant, revealing the bitter cold. Although youre growing faster than many people expected, no matter what you do, you wont be able to change the outcome of this fight. Whiz! The moment his voice fell, Aokiji jumped up with his arms crisscrossed in front of him and he suddenly formed two pikes, falling from the sky and smashing towards Ross. Ice Block: Partisan!" Aokiji, showing his real speed is still incredibly fast and these series of actions are done almost instantaneously. Ross seemed to be in an emotionless state, his eyes were calm as he stepped back to avoid Aokijis attack. Several people have gone, its impossible for me to let you go too. Aokijis eyes glimmered with cold as he stepped on empty air. His practice of Gepp (Moonwalk) is at its peak. He turned into a shadow as he arrived at rosss back and punched out. Ross couldnt evade. He could only turn around and hit back. Bang! With his fist wrapped in the power of distortion, it collided with the frozen fist, Rosss power of distortion burst into full swing in the air and rushed toward Aokiji, trying to disintegrate Aokijis body. However, Aokijis face is indifferent and his high-grade Armament Haki is surrounded by the power of the ice-ice fruit that turned into a bone-chilling cold that rushed towards Rosss body. Bang! After a stalemate for about a second, Ross power of distortion was crushed by Aokiji and he flew backward again. Ross, who flew back used Gravity Distortion in midair while utilizing Gepp (Moonwalk) to fly to a farther place. Aokiji is expressionless as he lifts his foot. Bang! On the route that Ross fled, a huge ice wall with a length of hundreds of meters and a width of several hundred meters suddenly rose from the ground and blocked Ross route. Rosss eyes twinkled as he used Gravity Distortion to change direction again and his figure crossed a perfect parabola in the air as he flew toward the sky. But before he could fly out of the ice barrier, Aokijis figure had already appeared above him using Gepp (Moonwalk) and he pressed one hand down on Ross. Ice Block: Avalanche! Almost instantly, a giant ice ball with a diameter of several hundred meters was born in the void and fell towards Ross below, wrapped in destructive power. Even Ross couldnt evade it in an instant because of its wide coverage. He was rubbed by ice ball and fell toward the ground below. Vector Distortion! Ross put his hands on the huge ice ball and pushed his power of distortion to the extreme, covering the whole ice ball, rigidly changing the direction of gravity of the ice ball, so that it deviated from the side and hit the huge ice wall. Bang! A tremendous sound was produced from the Thriller Bark. It sounds like an infinite glacier breaking up and countless pieces of ice splashing everywhere. Just as the huge ice ball hit the ice wall, Aokiji flashed up to Ross, turned his arm into white ice and pressed it against Rosss arm. Ross crossed his arms and squared in front of him. Bang! Ross crashed toward the ground and smashed into the shattered ice below. Coughcough Jumping out of the cracked ice, Rosss mouth was bleeding and he coughed twice and there was a trace of ice on his arm. In the past, he relied on the power of Distortion Fruit to constantly suppress the enemy. This time his power was suppressed from the opposite direction and not only his fruit ability but also his body, Haki or speed, he was completely suppressed. The only thing that can barely be said to be advantageous is the flexibility of the Distortion Fruit. Ice burst! Ross flicked his arm and the frozen traces peeled off inch by inch under the action of the power of distortion. Then he shouted angrily, and power of distortion suddenly poured into the frozen earth. Bang Rumble! The whole earth burst into pieces in an instant, with cracks hundreds of meters in length and width appearing. They broke apart rapidly and turned into huge blocks of ice and rocks and they rushed towards Aokiji in the sky. At the same time, Ross flew away from Aokiji and into the other direction without looking back, His purpose was still to escape. Even someone reckless and stupid like Luffy chose to run away when he and his crew were faced with an Admiral on Sabaody Archipelago because he realized the strength gap between them, So there is no need to mention Ross who was aware of the difference between their strength from the start. Huh Aokiji looked at the cracked earth and the huge ice and rubble flying toward him. He breathed softly and raised his hand against the coming rubble. Kch! Kch! His arm instantly turned into ice and spread all the way, freezing all the huge ice and rubble in mid-air, then he pushed the frozen rubble hard and made it a kilometer long and then he sent it away towards Ross. Ross had no idea of confronting him. He continued to run away. Soru and Geppo and Gravity Distortion were all brought to their extreme. His entire figure was like an arrow on the ground, lashing into the distance. However. Aokiji is still faster than him. As he dashed forward, the ground ahead gave a sudden bang and a larger wall of ice rose again, blocking his escape route. Ross tried to fly upwards as before, but the huge ice block, nearly a kilometer long, had fallen like hell, blocking all directions of escape. Looking at the size of the ice, Ross slightly gritted his teeth and slammed his foot on the ground and the Distortion broke down as he drilled into the bottom. Bang! The huge ice fell, wrapped in a terrifying impact and landed on the ground. Although Ross did not bear it head-on, the impact still penetrated the surface and hit him below. Ross ignited the power of distortion to the extreme, resisting this part of the impact, but when it was blocked, Aokiji appeared above the surface of the earth and the power of ice plunged into the earth. Kch! Kch! Ross withstood the impact of a huge icefall but could no longer completely withstand Aokijis freezing power and he was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture. At the same time, the Underground space created by the power of distortion collapsed and the whole earth collapsed suddenly and the crushed ice and gravel from above crashed down. Almost. Aokijis frozen body slowly returned to its normal state, breathing out a cold breath, looking coldly down at the ice and perceiving Rosss state. One second two seconds three seconds Five seconds later, Aokijis face changed slightly as a crack suddenly appeared on the ice like a spiders web spreading in all directions. Ross, who was covered in blood, rushed out of the Underground. His body was covered with frost everywhere. It was like a pedestrian coming out of a snowstorm. Without frost, there were a lot of scars and blood was spilled from the wound. Still alive. Aokiji looked at Ross with a solemn face and breathed out a cold breath again. Rosss body was scarred and there were also hidden injuries in his body that were overloaded with the power of distortion. He gasped fiercely and his eyes sparkled with inexplicable light. In this depressing situation, he suddenly laughed and his lips opened a little. Oh, how could I die without turning the world upside down? CHAPTER 140 THE DISTORTION LIGHT EXPLODES Your mind has gone astray. Aokiji shook his head slowly. A man whose mind had gone astray and whose will was very firm was terrible. Once left to their own devices, the worst can be that they become like Doflamingo, a Shichibukai, who has mastered countless dark deals and even made various deals with Yonk (Four Emperors)! In any case. Today, Ross cant be allowed to escape. Such a person can either be executed as soon as possible or be detained as soon as possible in Impel Down so that he can spend the rest of his life in the dark. Astray Do you think so? Ross gently smiled looked terrifying with his face covered with blood as he said, Me going astray, Isnt that the result of your so-called Justice. Marines justice, the darkness of the government, Straw Hat Pirates, the adventurer and the wicked who burned and plundered, and so on Ross doesnt really care. He did not want to distinguish between justice and evil. It was Marine and the government who forced the tag of evil on the top of his head and imposed the so-called justice on him. Since both the government and Marine regard him as evil, then he will be evil from now on and will become the real evil that makes the government and Marine tremble! Aokiji was calm and did not speak anymore. It was no use talking nonsense to a man who was determined and had terrible thoughts. It was not a voice but power that safeguarded justice. Aokiji disappeared in place in a sudden flash. The next time he appeared, he came to Ross, clenched his right hand into a fist, turned it into a huge frost fist and hit Ross. Bang! In the state of Spirit Heart, Rosss Observation Haki captured Aokijis movements. Although he couldnt react as fast as Aokiji, he still had time to react and slammed his fist against the coming ice fist. Aokijis frost fist crumbled and was hardly affected by the impact of his fists, while Ross flew straight backward. He is severely outclassed. Ross even feels that Aokiji hasnt done all he can and he is holding back his powers. After all, he can easily turn an island into an ice sheet, or even freeze the sea between two islands for up to a week. Accept fate? No, this idea didnt exist from the beginning. In any case, as long as he has not fallen, he will never give up. His strength today is far from Aokiji, but he is much stronger than the straw hats pirates that landed on the Sabaody Archipelago. He will not give up even if there is not a single possibility remain. Distortion, Sonic Explosion! Ross whispered, hissing and cracking again in Aokijis ear. However, this time, Aokiji was prepared. His ears were instantly frozen, filled with ice, and not affected by sound blasting. If the same trick worked on me twice then I would have no qualification to remain as a Marine Admiral. Aokiji breathed out a cold breath and charges violently towards Ross. But. Almost immediately as he approached Ross, Rosss eyes suddenly flashed with really bright light, like Kizarus lasers, piercing Aokijis eyes. Distortion, Light Explosion! Aokijis eyes ached and his movements deformed instantly. Ross did not hesitate to seize the opportunity, kicked out with one leg between Aokijis chest and abdomen and caused Aokiji to fly back from the impact. Ross did not escape this time. He knew that he could not escape now. Aokiji was hardly injured. He could recover in the next moment and come back. He flashed and rushed towards Aokiji. Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of punches and kicks poured down on Aokiji and while Aokiji remains mostly unaffected the constant attacks caused him to sink into the ice below him. Without any hesitation, Ross lifted his foot and utilized Gepp (Moonwalk) and Gravity Distortion and rose rapidly toward the sky, trying to break into the fog above and disappear. Whiz! Almost 100 meters away from Ross, Aokijis face was as cold as frost, with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, his eyes racing in cold pursuit, his arms staggering in front of him and waving violently. Ice Saber! His arms are like two swords. Instead of sword energy, he chops out two white sabers, revealing the cold power of the weapons. He sends them towards Ross in the sky at a very fast speed. Ross was forced to avoid them sideways. Aokiji speeds up again and catches up with Ross, he swings his hands violently and the ability of the ice fruit erupts as countless ice blocks appear in the sky, condensing into numerous sharp spears and like a wind Rainstorm, they rained down on Ross. Its still a little short Rosss eyes are low as the perception of the Observation Haki is limited. A few of them are able to cover an island like Enel. This is a sea of mist, with poor vision. To escape from Aokijis hands, he needs to escape and create an opportunity to escape from Aokiji Kenbonshokus(Observation) perception of distance. Kch! Kch! Faced with the falling ice spears, Ross could only keep fisting and smashing the spears. When a spear was about to fall on him, Aokiji flashed over to Ross and attacked him with one leg. Ross punched up but failed to stand still for a second and then flew backward under Aokijis power, He fell to the ground again. Ice Block: Partisan! Aokiji stood in mid-air, his eyes glaring and his arms are united which are turned into very thick pikes, He attacked Ross with these pikes as Ross was crashed into the ground. The fallen Ross concentrates the power of distortion and Armament Haki on the front and back and the power of distortion and Armament Haki offset most of the impact in a collision. However. Even so, he still suffered a heavy blow and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Because of the existence of Tenacious talent, his body is very durable. But In this case, where he was attacked repeatedly with heavy blows, his body is now on the verge of serious injury. If I go to this way, even if I have Tenacious talent, it wont last long He broke the ice on impact and had to drill out of it. Ross, who was breathing heavily, blinked eyes, constantly thinking about all the opportunities that might exist. If he got attacked just one more time, He will be seriously injured and will enter a situation where he cannot heal himself. His own strength will be greatly affected and then there will be no possibility of escape. Countless ideas flashed in his mind in the state of Spirit Heart and were excluded one by one until only one left. The only possibility is this In that case, lets try it. Ross took a deep breath and looked at Aokiji, who fell not far away. The light in his eyes finally settled. CHAPTER 141 *HIDDEN* In the previous fight just now. Every time he was hit hard, Rosss power of distortion was agitated once and it became more and more intense, especially the first time, as if it wanted to break through his body and burst out. He did not like gambling, but at this time, like Fujitora, he had to place his hopes on gambling. Whether a coin flying into the sky lands with a head or a tail depends on the last fight. Ice Block: Pheasant Beak! After Aokiji landed, he raised his right arm which instantly turned into a frostbird that charged towards Ross and wherever it went, the air seemed to freeze into ice. Faced with the attack, Ross took a deep breath, folded his hands in front of him, made a virtual grasp and rushed out in front of the ice bird. Distortion Impact! The power of distortion converges on both palms, vaguely letting the air appear in the form of Distortion. Rosss palms hit the ice birds head. Kch! Kch!! The Power of distortion is like a whirlpool. In Rosss palms, the constant explosion of the power of distortion on Rosss palms is raised to the limit. The ice bird slams into this whirlpool created by the power of distortion and breaks down from the head and finally breaks into pieces of ice that splashed around. Aokiji breathed out a cold breath and when the bird broke to its last point, he took a step forward and turned his arm into a spear and hit Ross hard, wrapped in a strong cold this attack flew towards Ross trying to spread freeze Ross into ice. Zi Zi! Under the impact of the spear, Ross utilized the power of distortion to its limit to resist. His whole body was pushed back bit by bit and the ice under his feet was filled with deep cracks and it constantly cracked, like plowing. At the moment, The power of distortion in Rosss body is boiling, constantly rushing up and down, gathering between his palms, colliding with the sphere that has come towards him. Its like a very tenacious spring that is under very heavy pressure. It closes up bit by bit and gradually tightens to the limit. Its compressed to the limit. His physique body that he has been exercising day after day, the Physical Enhancement that has always been the core of promotion, the talent that was activated not long ago, Tenacious All of this has been transformed into a force that fixed the spring so that the spring is gradually tightened to the extreme and not exceed the bearing limit. What is Devil Fruit Awakening? Zoan is an extraordinary body and regenerative ability, while Paramecia is from inside to outside, allowing forces to rush out of the body, no longer confined to the body and can act on the outside. The process from the inside to the outside is the most important and difficult one. Few people can do it, even fewer than rare Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit. The enormous pressure from Aokiji has become the great power of the compression spring and Rosss body has become the essence of the spring tenacious. Under constant confrontation, the spring was finally pushed to the limit and reached its highest and strongest limit. Then. It popped up violently. The mystery of Devil Fruits awakening is inspired at this moment. Ahhh! Ross burst out with an unprecedented roar, the ability to be oppressed to the limit, coming out with a fierce explosion in his body and pounding out from the palms of his hands. The Power of distortion turns into a terrifying whirlpool and the vast impact goes ahead, whether it is air or ice, or the earth. Everything falls apart under the explosion of power of distortion and everything is nothing in front of it at this moment. How could it be The expressions on Aokijis face changed for the first time. Ross made a sonic explosion and light explosion, which, although unexpected, did not shock him. People like Ross, who are powerful, always have some hidden attacks, an ace up their sleeves. But now this scene is no longer a hidden attack, but a change beyond his expectation, Ross clearly has reached his limit earlier and now he suddenly burst out with even more power! Kch! Kch! Aokiji did not hold back any of his power as he utilized Armament Haki and crossed his arms in front of him, to fight the coming Distortion storm. He doesnt know how long it took but the terrifyings force of distortion finally dissipated and the scattered ice was splashed in all directions and the dust slowly dissipated. On the field. Between Ross and Aokiji, there is an area of tens of meters, which is sunken by the ice-covered earth, as if it had been swallowed up by something. More precisely, its like a cylindrical area that under the influence of the power of distortions is swept up and strangled, all of which break up into extremely tiny debris. Devil Fruit Awakening? As Marine Headquarters Admiral, Aokiji naturally understood the concept of Devil Fruit Awakening. The only explanation that can explain Rosss sudden rise in power and its impact on a large area of nearby space is the Devil Fruit Awakening. Otherwise, Ross would not have been hit by him several times in a row and he would have to deal with it directly with all of his strength. Ross stood there and took a deep breath. There was an unspeakable fluency all over his body as if every pore was breathing. It was like a dehydrated fish has entered the water. This is the awakening of Devil Fruit. Devil Fruit awakening ability is free from physical restraint and can directly affect the outside world, just like Logia, directly transforming the power of distortions from inside to the outside world. Thank you for your help. Things finally got interesting. Ross slowly opened his eyes and looked at Aokiji. A faint smile appeared on his bloody face. Without Aokiji, he would not be able to practice by himself and he wouldnt be able to compress the spring to its maximum length that made it snape and awakened his Devil Fruit Power. Battles are indeed the most effective way to stimulate potential, especially when such one-sided repression is forced upon the body and the threat of death become very real. Aokijis face became a bit ugly. Such a change was entirely unexpected, but even if Ross had awakened his Devil Fruit Powers, as Marine Headquarters Admiral, he was still in control of the Battle victory or defeat. Next, its my turn to fight back. Ross looked at Aokiji with a twinkling eye and a strong sense of warfare and ferocity in his voice. He suddenly rushed towards Aokiji, with his right hands fingers pointing at Aokiji and tearing away. His fingers instantaneously emerged in a round, much more transparent than Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), with only a slight arc of light that burst out in front of him. Sneer! The outbreak of the power of distortion blatantly tore towards Aokiji, where the earth and air were all torn apart by the disintegration Distortion. Aokijis face changed slightly, his palms closed in front of him, and Ice-Ice Fruits ability was stimulated, instantly turning into a huge ice wall, blocking Rosss power of distortion. Bang! The Power of distortion falls on the ice wall, instantly giving it a shape of Distribution as a sudden depression appeared on the ice wall and then the ice wall bursts into pieces and turns them into splashes of crushed ice everywhere. Just as Aokiji was waiting for Rosss next attack, he suddenly could not find him. Seeing the fierce fighting at the moment before, Ross, who seemed to want to revenge on him, fled to the distance without turning his head after the blow, leaving only one afterimage behind. What a joke! Not to mention the injuries on his body, even in the state of full power, the gap between Aokiji and him cannot be directly reversed because of the fruit awakening, His strength only equals to that of Doflamingos was in the War Of The Best. Chapter 141 Awaken CHAPTER 142 LIVING Damn! After being played by Ross, Aokiji showed a wave of anger on his face and chased after him without hesitation. But before he could rush out far, the ice in front of him suddenly cracked weirdly. Under Rosss remote stimulation, it was as if two continental plates had collapsed and one was rising and the other was sinking. Blocked by a hindrance, Rosss back has disappeared into the fog and only his Observation Haki can still sense the location of Ross and he was getting farther and farther. Dont try to run away! Aokijis face was repressed and terrible as he continued to chase Ross. After the awakening of the devil fruit, Ross not only had the ability to remotely throw out the power of distortions like Whitebeard, but the power of distortions also increased dramatically. Correspondingly, the effect of Gravity Distortion has also improved a lot. By utilizing Gepp (Moonwalk), his speed is only a little slower than full-powered Aokiji. As for why it is a little slower Because Aokiji is not simply using Gepp (Moonwalk), every step he falls, the void condenses into a square ice cube, which is struck by his foot and he uses its force to make himself faster. Even this means has been exerted. Aokiji is very annoyed on the one hand. On one hand, the purpose of this trip was to destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates, but now not only Laffitte and others have escaped, but even Ross is going to escape! In an instant, they rushed out of the Thriller Bark and pushed farther and farther into the fog. Aokijis speed is still slightly faster than Rosss, but when Rosss power of distortion can be released remotely, there is too much room to slow down Aokijis attack and there is no need to fight Aokiji head-on. They ran after each other and disappeared in the sky. A few days later. In the fog, a wooden block that is about four or five meters wide and about seven or eight meters long is slowly floating on the sea and it is very strange as if it was driving itself to hell. On this wooden complex, Law is sitting in a corner carrying the demon knife, Robin is sitting there, Laffitte is standing on the edge with a mahogany cane, trying to catch fish in the sea. Sneer! Suddenly, he plunged the mahogany stick into the sea. A sharp piercing penetrated the water and instantly penetrated a fish swimming several meters below. Laffitte salvaged the fish, lit a flame and began to do simple processing. More than three days after escaping from the Thriller Bark, Robin and Law finally recovered and did not die of freezing. Its been three days. The food is good, but theres nothing we can do about freshwater. My ability can be used to break down a little fresh water. Law opened his eyes and opened his mouth in silence. With his present abilities and stamina, though extremely reluctant, he was able to produce a little fresh water needed to sustain the lives of three people. Thats okay, I dont know when Captain can come. Laffitte shrugged his shoulders as he handled the fish. Robin took out a white moving card from her pocket, stared at the card for a moment and shook her head slightly, saying: The direction has not changed for a long time. That card is Rosss, Vivre Card. Vivre Card represents a sign of a persons life and moves slowly in that persons direction. Ross collected Vivre Card materials after taking CP9 and made one for himself, Robin, Law, Laffitte, and Xilu. The five Vivre Cards were all torn up into four copies, each with its own name, and each was given to different people for preservation in order to know the crews life and location. Xilus Vivre Card has been completely destroyed and Rosss Vivre Card was half destroyed a few days ago, but it stopped being destroyed and remained intact. And. During these days, Rosss Vivre Cards direction of movement has been changing, indicating that Rosss direction has been changing, possibly entangled with Aokiji. Until four hours ago, the direction of the Vivre Cards movement did not change, so there were only two possibilities. One was that Ross did not move, the other was that Ross was coming to them. Either way, Ross should be out of danger. Well, it seems that Captain has got rid of Marine Admiral. Its really our Captain Whoop. Laffitte showed a smile on his face. A Captain who can get rid of a Marine Admirals pursuit, its an exciting thing. It means that they have a foothold in the sea. But this time its still our tragic defeat. Robins delicate five fingers folded gently holding Rosss Vivre Card in her palm and then sighed. Ghost Shadow Ship was frozen into ice sculpture by Aokiji and might be able to use it after recovery, but they could not return to the Thriller Bark to find the Ghost Shadow Ship. Moreover, Xilus Vivre Card was destroyed, which also indicated that Xilu should have died in Aokijis hands. As for other crew members and handymen, they were either destroyed by Aokiji or they are all in Marines hands. We are still alive, this is enough. Law, sitting on the other side, spoke quietly and calmly. Its a victory to survive against Marine Admiral. Laffitte raised his lips and said, Thats right. The fish is ready. Come and eat it. After sharing the fish, the three continued to drift in the mist. They dont know how long it has been. A dark shadow appeared in the fog, which flew in the air and gradually approached, falling into the perception range of Laffitte and others. Laffitte had just crossed his cane and showed a trace of alertness. Then suddenly he loosened his alertness and showed a smile because he had seen the shape of the dark shadow. Whiz! Compared with Laffitte and others, The shadow looked worse, his clothes were damaged everywhere with a lot of clotted blood on them, the shadow broke through the mist and landed on the raft. Welcome back, Captain. Laffitte smiled at Ross, pinched the corner of his hat and bowed to Ross. Robins face, which had been low for several days, also showed a slight smile. Hey Ross looked at Robin and others. Although they were more and more confused, he still showed a slight smile and laughed loudly without hiding it. Law sat in a corner and smiled. Laffitte followed Ross with a burst of laughter. The laughter spread out in the mist and passed to the depth of the mist. He laughed for a while. Ross and others returned to their usual calmness. Despite the loss of Ghost Shadow Ship and the death of Xilu at the hands of Aokiji, four of them are still alive, which is enough. It is impossible to meet Marine Admiral without paying any price. Were still alive. Were going to live. Then, the government and Marine will not live well! CHAPTER 143 SABAODY ARCHIPELAGO Marine Headquarters. You went there and they still escaped? Sengoku was standing behind his desk, one hand on the desk, his eyebrows depressed and his face looked contorted. Aokijis shirt was broken in a small part. He went to the side, took the teapot on the tea table and poured a cup of tea. After a sip, he sat down on the sofa and slowly said. Ghost Hand Ross, Demon Sherrif Laffitte, Devil Child Nico Robin, Surgeon of Death Trafalgar Law these four escaped. Sengoku slowly sat back in his chair, rubbed his swollen eyebrows and said, Has everyone else been killed? I can barely explain it to the government if thats the case. Aokiji went out personally to chase the Ghost Hand Pirates and four most important main crew members of Ghost Hand Pirates escaped. This is undoubtedly a great headache for Sengoku. Unknowingly, The Ghost Hand Pirates has grown to this point! At the same time. The World Government has also received this news and Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) are a little shocked by the fact that the Ghost Hand Pirates has been able to escape the pursuit of a Marine Admiral! Although Florian Triangle sea may be foggy and difficult to drive into with a large number of Battleships, it undoubtedly also shows the sharpness of the Ghost-Hand Pirates! What shall we do? Should we make him a Shichibukai? He wont accept it and doesnt this shows that the government is bowing to a pirate? Aokiji is up to his tricks again, How is it possible that Ghost Hand Pirates escaped from the hand of the government highest power Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) has some headaches at this time. Former Ghost Hand Pirates were a little nuisance for them and now that nuisance has turned into a big headache for them. Being able to survive the pursuit of a Marine Admiral, the threat of the Ghost-Hand Pirates itself has gradually surpassed the threat of their small influence! We absolutely cant let them go. Continue to look for the Ghost Hand Pirates and once we have the opportunity to move out, we must kill him, there can not be a fifth Yonk (Four Emperors)! The Sabaody Archipelago. This is the terminal of the first half of the Grand Line. Whichever route one takes they will eventually converge at this island and take it as a starting point for New World in the second half. Because of this, there is endless darkness beneath the surface of this beautiful bubble group island, slave trade, tenryubito, the wicked pirates who arrived at this island. Somewhere on the shore. A Pirate Ship is docked here and several coating craftsmen are painting the Pirate Ship, which seems to have been completed by about one-tenth. It should have just begun. On the shore, there are five or six pirates who stayed here to keep watch on the ship. They sit or stand, watching the coating craftsmen coating the ship and drinking and chatting. Suddenly. One of the people facing the sea sat upright, looked in the direction ahead and rubbed his eyes, saying, It seems something is floating over there. Really? Several pirates next to him looked in the direction that the man was looking at. They saw a black shadow in the direction they were looking at. The black shadow turned out to be a simple raft that is spliced ??together by a large number of wooden boards. There are still several figures on it. Its like a man in distress, but its really awkward, haha-ha. Thats what it looks like. I dont think they will have anything valuable. Several pirates sat on the shore grinning at each other. And as the raft drew closer, the figures on the raft became clearer and clearer. It was four dirty victims, with ragged clothes and hair. I say A man who had been staring at the humble raft looked at the gradually clear figure on the raft. Suddenly, he frowned and showed a look of incredulity. He said, Those people seem to be familiar. Look at the front one. Ah? Familiar? A pirate next to him gave him a strange look and subconsciously glanced at the direction of the raft and this eye also caught his gaze. The figure sitting at the front of the raft, although it looked very awkward, did give him a sense of familiarity as if he had seen him somewhere. Yes! I remember it. That guy looks like Ghost Hand Ross! At that moment, someone finally got an inspiration, remembered something, and suddenly stood up, showing a trace of shock, looking at the raft that was gradually approaching the shore. The people next to him were shocked when they heard the words. Ghost Hand Ross? The big pirate having a bounty of 440 million Berries on his head. Youre wrong. How did that character become like that? Its a little weird, but he does look like him! Could it be that they met a giant Sea King? Or was it Marines? Several pirates stood up and looked at the shadows on the raft murmuring in astonishment. At that moment, one of them suddenly grabbed the gun beside him and aimed at the man on the raft, showing a tinge of nervousness and excitement. If its the Ghost Hand Rosswe can become famous by killing a pirate who had a bounty of 400 million berries! Hey, are you crazy?! A man next to him looked shocked and said to him, Thats a terrifying figure that has a bounty of over 400 million berries! We only have a Captain whose bounty doesnt exceed 40 million Berries!! Dont make a noise let me aim first. The pirate, who held the gun, closed one eye and made an aiming posture, revealing his evil nature. He said: Even if it is really that Ghost Hand Ross, his appearance suggests that he has been lost on the sea for many days, He will fall s=down if you poke him too hard. Several others heard it, and their horror eased slightly. Looking at the motionless figures on the raft, it seemed that all four figures had died and their eyes sparkled. Its true, it seems that they are all starved to death, but it is safer to shoot them a few times first. Yes. Several people looked at each other, all showing a grin. They all took up firearms and artillery and aimed at the raft which was less than ten meters from the shore. Their faces are tinged with excitement and tension. This kind of opportunity is rare. Its just a chance for them to make them all famous in the sea! Bang! No one knows who fired first but all others followed that shot and open fired on the coming raft. A time-intensive bullet, together with two cannonballs, flew towards the tattered raft. Looking at the four figures on the raft, the first bullet was strangely stagnated about a meter away from the raft when it was blown up. Followed by the second and third Even the fist-sized cannonball was silently fixed in the air when it intruded a meter into the raft, as if it had hit an invisible wall. The air seemed to be still and silent, and the atmosphere became very strange. CHAPTER 144 EXTINGUISHES KILLS This this should be, Devil Fruit ability?! Idiot! He is not dead and he is able to use his strength! No one knows how long it took for the pirates who responded to it to finally show their horror on their faces. They are able to reach the Sabaody Archipelago. Although they are not members of the Supernova Pirates who have a bounty of over 100 million berries, they have encountered various kinds of crises. After this event, the fear spreads up immediately and they did not dare to continue to watch as they threw away their weapons and ran away. At this time, Ross, who was sitting in front of the raft, stood up slowly. In his slightly squinting eyes, he showed an indifferent color as his right hand poked out and pressed forward. Buzz!! The entire front of the air instantly showed a strange Distortion form, like a shock, bursting out suddenly. Dozens of bullets and two cannonballs, under this force, did not explode but were crushed to pieces of iron slag. Where this power of distortion goes, the sea on the shore is instantly depressed, followed by the land on the shore. It is also like an irresistible plow past by land, leaving behind a collapse and tunnel with a vertical width of 5 or 6 meters. Ah! Of the six pirates, only one barely avoided the power of distortions straight-line impact, while the other five were instantaneously trapped in it, stirred together with mud, rock, and seawater. I can finally take a good rest. In order to preserve his Stamina, in order to avoid the inability to resist an Admiral, Ross did not use his ability to directly carry the raft to the Sabaody Archipelago but only slightly push the raft, so the consumption of stamina was very small and with the Tenacious talent, This consumption of stamina was doable. He slowly retrieved his hand, stood up, looked at the Sabaody Archipelago ahead and suddenly disappeared from the raft. When he reappeared, he came to the only surviving pirate. Ahahthis is The pirate, looking at his companions fate, was already frightened and his legs were weak. He sat on the ground moving backward. He could not even see the corpses of his five companions which shows the strength of this pirate with a bounty of more than 400 million berries! Not to mention him, even if his Captain was here, in the face of such force, He would have no resistance! You should have a ship? Where is it? Looking at the pirate who was almost scared out, Ross asked in a gentle tone, but the pirate eventually turned pale and passed out in terror. Ross was a little dissatisfied, but when he thought that he had been floating in the sea for seven or eight days, his present appearance must not be handsome as before, but that of a wicked pirate, so he can understand. The ship should be. Laffitte and others went ashore and glanced at the Pirate Ship in the distance. The battered raft that had been scrambled up with Laws abilities was obviously impossible to use again. It would never be used again in their life. They needed a new ship to take their place temporarily. Laffitte looked at the Pirate Ship for two times and said with a crooked head, Its about the same size as Ghost Shadow Ship, but the quality is much worse. We lost our main ship. Sooner or later we have to find Marine to settle our accounts. Speaking of this, his eyes flashed with a trace of cold light, he has never eaten such a big loss, although it was Marine Admiral. But he went on Rosss boat in order to turn the world upside down. Those craftsmen are running away. Law was carrying the demon knife on his shoulder, pointing to a group of coating craftsmen who were running away and were frightened by Rosss move. This is the Sabaody Archipelago, right next to Marine Headquarters and if their arrival news went too soon, Marine Admiral will come for them again. After seven or eight days at sea, everyone was in a bad state. Robin said in a gentle tone: We can only blame our Captain for making such a big move. It was obviously not necessary. Rosss face remained unchanged as he said: I am still adapting to my newly gained power, my control is very weak. They will forget what happened. Laffitte laughed and walked towards the craftsmen. After a few steps, he caught up with them. The mahogany cane in his hand rotated, and a group of craftsmen stopped. Their eyes became blank as if they didnt know what had happened. Ross slowly walked towards the Pirate Ship and waved at Laffitte: Let them forget about these days and this doesnt need to be coated anymore. OK, Captain. Laffitte hypnotized the craftsmen with an evil smile on his face and the craftsmen lost their tools and disappeared from the shore. Robin approached the Pirate Ship and looked at the pirate flag above. She thought a little and said: This is the Pirate ship Azura Pirate Group and their Captain is Azura Phantom with a bounty of 40 million Berries. Only forty million berries and they just provoked Captain. What a bold fellow. Law spoke quietly. A year ago, Pirates with a bounty of 40 million Berries were an existence that was hard to deal with. But now he has absolute confidence even in dealing with 50 million berries pirates. Crack! Ross raised his hand and fired the power of distortion, instantly removing the one-tenth of the bubble film on the ship and slowly embark on the ship. We will use this ship for the time being. Ross looked at the ship briefly and said, There are two ways to get to the New World, one is through the fisherman island on the seafloor, the other is through the Red Line with the permission of the government, but we dont have these restrictions. He had been able to fly directly to the Sky island with the Ghost Shadow Ship for a long time with the ability of the Gravity Distortion. Now it is a breeze to fly a ship above the Red Line. Also. Even if he wants to go to Fishman Island, he can do the same. As a result of the Awakening of his Distortion fruit, he can easily exclude seawater from a certain range without coating the ship. The next thing is to take a rest, take a bath, and make a good adjustment. Here Ross slightly grinned and his eyes flashed with cold light. He said, Tenryubito often appears on this island. I heard Marine Admiral has a duty to protect them Whoop. I was wondering if the government would invite Captain to become a Shichibukai. Listening to Rosss words, Laffitte slightly grinned, showing a grim smile and Law gave a shrunk laugh, showing a cold expression. They wont directly find trouble with any Marine Admiral, but it doesnt mean that they cant get an Admiral into trouble and provoke them, The Marine admiral attacked them now they must be prepared to pay the price! CHAPTER 145 STRANGE GUEST PIRATES On the Pirate Ship, Ross and others took a break to tidy up their clothes. In the evening, the rest of the pirates returned, but before boarding the ship, they whirled around and were thrown into the sea by Ross to feed the fish, including the 40 million Berries Pirate Captain. Resting on the ship until the next day, Ross and others finally swept away the tiredness of drifting for a few days and all regained their vitality. After leaving Law to guard the ship, Ross, Robin, and Laffitte set foot on the Sabaody Archipelago. Laffitte, you are free to collect intelligence and I am going to get some new Den Den Mushi with Robin. The Ghost Shadow Ship is gone and so are all kinds of Den Den Mushi that he has worked hard to collect. If he wants to contact Kaku and others, he needs to reset some new Den Den Mushi. This is the Sabaody Archipelago at the end of the first half of the Grand Line and one of the largest trading places in the sea. It is not difficult to find a place to buy Den Den Mushi. Okay, Captain. Laffitte smiled and nodded, lowering the eaves of his hat and disappearing in the other direction. Ross and Robin lowered their hats and stepped inside the Sabaody Archipelago. In addition to being the largest trading place in the world, Sabaody Archipelago island is also the backyard of tenryubito, where the heavenly gold received by tenryubito is usually consumed to buy slaves or interesting things like Devil Fruit. Its a beautiful view. Looking at the huge Yarukiman Mangrove, the colorful bubbles everywhere in the street and all kinds of new transportation, Robin shows her smile. Although the external environment had little influence on her, she could accept the gloomy terrifying place of Florian Triangle sea or the Sabaody Archipelago, but obviously, she preferred the latter. Naturally, after all, this is the backyard of tenryubito, even if there are innumerable dark transactions in the dark, Its needs to be clean on the surface. Ross put his hands in the pocket of his new white overcoat and responded casually. Very soon. He and Robin found a place to configure Den Den Mushi. Ross bought four ordinary Den Mushi, one image Den Mushi and one video Den Mushi. After getting the new Den Den Mushi, Ross dialed directly. Captain, have you replaced the Den Den Mushi? What happened?! Kaku and others still dont know anything about Florian Triangle sea. After all, there is a lot of fog. Nobody knows what happened except Marine top executives and the World Government. Something has happened. Its a long story. Theres a chance you will hear it soon Have you collected new intelligence these days? Ross asked quietly. Kaku responded, Ah, theres a new intelligence gathered. Supernova strange guest Byron with a bounty of 230 million Berries appeared on the Sabaody Archipelago two days ago. Good, you worked hard. Ross affirmed the work of Kaku and others and hung up Den Den Mushi. Even without Luffys time, when eleven Supernovas gathered on Sabaody Archipelago, it was not bad to meet a Supernova with a bounty of 230 million Berries. Lets Go. Lets go and find this unfortunate pirate Supernova. After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Ross took Robin out of the dark laneway and was looking for the strange guest Byron with the bounty 230 million Berries. He has not yet killed any pirate with a bounty of 230 million berries, if everything went as usual then he will gain at least 90 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 point Free Talent Point. Once he starts beating up a tenryubito, the government will be angry and most likely a Marine Admiral will come, although Ross has the confidence to deal with an Admiral,the more strength he has the better. The Sabaody Archipelago is made up of seventy-nine Yarukiman Mangroves, or seventy-nine small islands. It is called the group island and its structure is extremely complicated. However. The strange guest Byron crew came here. To go to the New World, they had to coat the ship. It took a long time to coat a ship, even Dark King Rayleigh needed three days and three nights to finish the Thousand Sunny Go coating. If it is a larger ship, it will take longer. Half a day later. Ross and Robin searched for the intelligence about the strange guest Pirates and according to the intelligence, they came to the 27th island and eventually encountered them on a street. Ghost handRoss. Vice-Captain of strange guest Pirates, standing beside Captain Byron, looked at Ross with gloomys eyes and said, Are you trying to deal with us with this deliberate obstruction? As the first half of the conquest, their whole crew combined offered a bounty of nearly 400 million berries. Naturally, it was impossible for Ross and Robin to retreat because they met face to face. Any Supernova that conquered the first half of the Grand Lines sea can be reluctantly called the Conqueror in the first half, which is quite different from those who fish in muddy waters and only had 10 or 20 million bounties on their head. Although Id like to compete with you very much, its very close to Marine Headquarters. If you want to make trouble, how about going to the New World and doing it again? Strange guest Byron looked at Ross with a flat face.As a pirate with a bounty of 230 million berries, he naturally had his pride, but this place was not a good place to fight. Marines will arrive if there is a fight here. Dont bother so much. Ross took off the white gloves he had just bought, put them in his pocket, and looked at the quiet crowd of strange guest Pirates and said, You will all be dead before Marine can come here. Hum! It seems that you really want to die here! Strange guest Byron snorted and his eyes showed murder. He didnt want to fight here, but he could not ignore Ross for his arrogant remarks. On the street. When the two sides confronted each other, the civilians fled the street in a panic. Only a few brave people, or members of some forces, were still quietly hiding in the corner. Ghost Hand Ross, Devil Child Nico Robin and Strange Guest Pirates! Looks like its going to be a fight. There are more than 500 million rewards on one side and almost 400 million on the other. I dont know which side will win. The dark observers eyes sparkled with comments. If all the Ghost-Hand Pirates were present, they would undoubtedly prefer the victory of the Ghost-Hand Pirates, but now only Ghost Hand Ross and Devil Child Robin are present, while Strange Guest Pirates are close to the whole staff, with more than 30 people! Just a few months ago, Strange Guest Pirates left safely after destroying an island under the control of the Marine Headquarters fleet. Whiz! At the next moment, the Strange Guest Pirates moved. In a moment, more than ten firearms and guns were directed at Ross and fired, while the vice-captain of the strange guest Pirates pulled out his sword and waved his sword energy and cut the street. At the same time, Strange Guest Byron gave a sudden low cry and a hammer on the ground with a strange force through the earth suddenly burst out from under Rosss feet. CHAPTER 146 WINGS OF SKY Rosss expressionlessly waved his hand, after his Devil Fruits awakening, His powers are like a fish in the water. Its a far cry from his previous flexibility and his ability to exert his powers felt much better than before. Bang! Almost instantaneously, the bullets and artillery were fixed in the air and then turned into pieces under the power of distortion, followed by the violent power of distortion sweeping the entire street, strangling the crowds of the Strange Guest Pirates. As for the bizarre force under Rosss feet, he lifted his foot and stepped on it and it broke away without any effect. Eh You have got to be kidding me. He cant be this powerful! Compared to Ross, the crowd of Strange Guest Pirates, in front of Rosss revealed power, showed a certain degree of shock and terror. Where the power of distortion went, the whole street seems to be swept by a horizontal Ragon tornado and the buildings and the earth all collapse inch by inch and are torn to pieces. Strange Guest Byron pupils violently contracted and before he could do anything he had already been hit by the violent power of distortions that wrapped him in it. Earth shift! Aware of the threat of death, he did not hesitate at all and gave a violent roar, arousing his Devil Fruit abilities and pushing his hands in a ring toward the outbreak of the power of distortion. Bang! Rosss power of distortion, under the weird force he showed, turned a sudden sharp turn from forward to downward, and suddenly entered the earth. Almost instantaneously, the ground, more than ten meters square, was pulverized by the power of distortions and a huge pit appeared, which reached a depth of tens of meters and penetrated the root of the spread Yarukiman Mangrove in Algeria and exposed the water below. What? Looking at this scene, Ross looked a little surprised. Strange Guest Byrons was in a somewhat awkward state, but he did not suffer any substantial injury. His hands were still in the push position and he slowly recovered them while coldly staring at Ross. Its a terrible power, but it doesnt hurt me. Im a transferor who has eaten the Paramecia transfer fruit and can turn any force in any direction at will! It seems that for an unassuming person, you really do possess some skills. After a little surprise, Ross regained his calm. Meanwhile, with his right hand clenched into a fist, he punched in the direction of Strange Guest Byron and Strange Guest Pirates. I have already said that this power is useless on me! Byron screamed coldly, posing his body without fear and his arms pushed forward again, launching his devil fruit ability, this time intending to completely push back Rosss power. But. When his arms touched the power of distortion, his face changed. Although Rosss second attack was similar in scope to the first one, the power contained in it is more than doubled! The air presents a strange Distortion. Standing on the side, it looks like the space of the whole street is like a piece of paper, folded by bending! There is no doubt that there is an upper limit on the power that can be transferred by Byrons fruit power and Rosss power in hitting has undoubtedly exceeded the current upper limit that he can transfer! No, this is impossible Byrons arms supported the violent power of distortion that has struck his arms, It was as if a man was standing against a collapsed mountain, his arms were green as he tried his best to release the transfer force. The void of Distortion quickly wrapped his hands and his hands instantly showed a strange folding Distortion, followed by a little bit of spread that completely defeating his transfer force and wrapping himself in it, together with all the Strange Guests Pirates in the rear. Bang! The power of distortions spread out tens of meters in the street and finally burst with a sound. There was a terrifying crack in the street. The buildings on both sides were destroyed for the most part, as if half of the streets were instantly annihilated by a laser weapon 10 meters in diameter. There are people who hide in the lane and watch in secret. They are almost wrapped up by this force. They almost came face-to-face with this power that left them with chills on their backs and sweat on their foreheads. This Power is Horrible. This is the power of Ghost Hand Ross, who had a bounty of 440 million Berries! Strange Guest Byron with a bounty of 230 million Berries, has been hunted and the rewards are, 90 Talent Proficiency Points, 1 Free Talent Point. Previously, He had accumulated a lot of Free Talent Points, but it took 1 point to activate Tenacious Talent and It took 1 point to activate Spirit Heart. Only 1 pint remained after that. Now he got 1 point by killing Strange Guest Byron and he finally has 2 Free Talent Points. Taking a glance at the fragmented street, Ross regained his gaze. Lets Go. Killing the Strange Guest Pirates also reveals that he is in the Sabaody Archipelago. If the government and Marine are still eager to kill him, it will not take long for a Marine Admiral to come here. Robin slightly nodded and followed Ross, who was about to leave the street. But. Just as they turned and walked more than ten meters away, a voice suddenly came from the top of a nearby building. Oh Was I too late? The Strange Guest Pirates were killed and the 400 million Berries reward is gone. It was a thin man in a white cloak, sitting on the top of a ruined building, holding a handful of peanuts in his hand, throwing a peanut in his mouth and shaking his head at the ruins of Strange Guest Pirates, which had been completely destroyed and whose bodies could not be found. Ross stopped and Robin stopped at the same time. Those who hid in this Ruins street saw the men who appeared on the top of the broken building and were shocked. Someone thought of something and instantly showed Various emotions on their faces. Could it be that guy? ! Ross stared at the man in a white cloak at the top of the building and slightly narrowed his eyes and said: Pirate Hunter Wings of Sky Ficheux Erman. For pirates or pirate hunters, almost everyone uses guns and swords. It is too rare to see someone who doesnt use guns and swords. Among the swordsmen is Hawkeye, the worlds strongest swordsman. Among the guns users, there is naturally someone who is the strongest gun user in the world and that someone is Ficheux Erman. He is one of the strongest Pirate Hunters alongside One-Armed Carlos. Carlos died in Hawkeyes hands so he can be removed, Which left Ficheux Erman as the strongest pirate hunter. Wing of the Sky, he is really him! It is said that all the pirates that he had killed were pierced by peanuts. Although he is the strongest gun user in the world, Only a few people have seen his guns. When Ross read out the name of the man in the white cloak, many people in the dark breathe in, Carlos actually ranks behind Ficheux Erman. CHAPTER 147 SPEED FRUI The top of a broken building. Ficheux Erman chewed peanuts, turned to Ross and said with some hatred, Youve cost me 400 million Berries. Ross, who had worked for a long time before as Pirate Hunter has heard the name Ficheux Erman, the person who is standing on the top of Pirate Hunters. He looked at Ficheux Erman and said: 400 million Berries should be nothing to you, You must have been quite bored to come here. Ficheux Erman crooked his head and said, Yeah, its boring. Its better to change your goal, such as conquering the world Come to my ship. Ross slightly smiled and invited Ficheux Erman. He does lack a powerful gun expert on board. Ha? What did you say? Ficheux Erman looked at Ross in silence and said, I know you, a bounty of 440 million Berries, Ghost Hand Ross, but what about conquering the world? Are you crazy? As he spoke, he pinched a peanut and shot it towards Ross. Sneer! This ordinary peanut, at the moment he pops it up, presents a very weird superposition of speed. In a moment, it surpasses the speed of sound by more than double! Speed means power. In front of such speed, even a peanut grain has terrible lethality. Buzz!! After his Devil Fruit awakened, the power of distortion can be aroused by Rosss thoughts. At the rate of the explosion, the peanut invaded the three-foot area in front of him, then slowed down abruptly, moved forward inch by inch, and was finally crushed to powder. Ficheux Erman looked at the scene and was surprised and said: It seems that I underestimated you, but even if you have such strength, conquering the sea or something, your goal is still too impractical. Well, your bounty must be more than 440 million next time and I wont be fighting with you. Ficheux Erman dropped another peanut into his mouth and disappeared in a flash. A few seconds after he disappeared. Robin looked at the direction in which he disappeared and said with grave eyes, He is fast. He is indeed very fast, but its not his own speed. It should be his Devil Fruit ability. Ross nodded, thinking a little bit: He can instantly accelerate the Peanuts to that extent, if not mistaken, it should be Paramecia speed fruit. There are many devil fruits of the time branch. In Rosss memory, there are slow devil fruit, retrogressive devil fruit and so on. This speed devil fruit should correspond to slow fruits, one is slow devil fruit and the other is speed devil fruit. And just now on that peanut, he also attached to a strong enough Armament Haki, the penetration power of that peanut must be very strong. Even if he cant beat a Marine Admiral, His power level should be similar to mine. Its hard to tell who wins or loses without fighting. Ross judged Ficheux Ermans strength in his mind. It was too late for him to raise his arm to resist the speed of the peanut grain just now, but after the awakening of Distortion Fruit, his whole body could activate the power of distortion and form a wall of Distortion. Without breaking the wall of Distortion, no one could do any serious harm to him. Even if it can be pierced, it will be slowed down, so that he has enough time to avoid, such as the peanut just now. This is also the reason he could finally escape under Aokijis pursuit, otherwise, he would have been caught by him. My speed is still slower. Ross murmured, and his mind evoked the Interface of the Talent System. After Distortion Fruit awakened, although the power of distortion has improved a lot and he was able to release it outside of his body and into the air, the burden on his body is reduced a little and the devil fruit power and his physical body are once again in equilibrium so there is no need to fill the physical enhancement. After thinking about it, Ross put 40-Proficiency Points to the Agility Enhancement. Agility Enhancement: 260 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 400 (Top Level Strengthening) Spirit Heart: 0(Basic Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 50 (Mid Level Strengthening) After putting 40 points in agility, the distance between his body speed and Aokiji is much closer, and even if it is still not comparable, he will not fall into too great a disadvantage in the frontal combat. As for the remaining 50 proficiency points, Ross hesitated for a while. Now Distortion Fruit has reached 510 points of proficiency and has reached a balance with his body. If it continues to go up, the scores will be allocated to Distortion Fruit and Physical Enhancement, respectively, with little improvement. By contrast, If he put the 50 proficiency points on Observation Haki, Armament Haki, or Tenacious, Spirit Heart of General Department, he can make it break through the current stage, upgrade to Mid Level or High-Level Strengthening and achieve a huge single improvement. Thinking about it. Ross suddenly thought of something and immediately made a decision to put 50 proficiency points to the Observation Haki. Buzz!! The golden light flashed, and the Battles talent interface changed for a while and finally stopped. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 510 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki: 100 Armament Haki: 50 As the data is frozen, Ross clearly feels that his Observation Hakis range of perceptions has increased by a large margin, and the details that can be captured have also increased by a large margin. In the previous encounter with Aokiji, in the state of activating Spirit Heart, he concentrates and makes full use of Kenbonshoku (Observation) to capture Aokijis full-speed movement. If he encounters Kizaru, His Kenbonshoku (Observation) is obviously not good. Here is the Sabaody Archipelago, the possibility of encountering Kizaru is not small, with the 50 proficiency points to Kenbonshoku (Observation) and 40 proficiency points to Agility Enhancement. He can now keep up with Aokiji in speed and he can react and rely on the power of distortion while facing Kizaru. Robin, inform Laffitte to go back to the ship and you also go back. Marine Admiral has a good chance of arriving quickly. If it comes to Kizaru, he is not afraid, but it is not so easy to protect Robin and others. Laffitte and Robin and others are weak in strength after all. As for himself He doesnt mind playing a game of tricks with an Admiral. It would be even better if he could kill a few tenryubitos on the way and make the government and Marines top leaders jump like thunder. Now, he is not a small person who can be easily manipulated by the World Government and Marine! At the same time, Marine Headquarters. In the top office, Sengoku was standing in the middle of the room, frowning slightly at his subordinatesreports, just as Kizaru, dressed in a justice cloak, came in. Looking at Kizaru coming in, Sengoku nodded at him slightly and said, Ghost Hand Ross appeared on the Sabaody Archipelago, killing Strange Guest Byron, one of the Supernovas. The man who is defined as a wicked criminal is constantly killing pirates. Kizaru went to the tea table, poured a cup of tea, sipped it, and answered in a long tone. Sengokus face darkened instantly, but Kizarus statement was true. Although those pirates can indeed be sentenced to death, they have been deprived of their lives without legal trials, it is a contempt for the government and he is still a wicked criminal! Thats true. Now that hes on the Sabaody Archipelago, we cant sit back and ignore him. Otherwise, the government will condemn us again. Ill go there. Kizaru took another sip of tea, stood up and walked outside. To let him deal with Yonk (Four Emperors), he must be dragged and dropped at that point, but to deal with the existence other than Yonk (Four Emperors), it is a casual run for him. Grasping nature is merit and there is no loss in catching it, not to mention that Ross and others can escape from Aokijis hands doesnt mean that they will be able to escape from his hands. At least in terms of speed, hes much faster than Aokiji! CHAPTER 148 ROBBING Island No. 47. About a dozen people were slowly passing by the edge of the street and did not attract anyones attention. Even the ordinary people who noticed these people immediately regained their gaze. Many of the dozen or so people have a circular smiling face sign on their shoulders or behind their backs, which is the symbol of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Doflamingo. Walking for a while. More than a dozen people met a black man who had been waiting here in a dark corner. Did you bring it? Among the people from the Donquixote Family, the leader Gladius walked forward and asked the black man. The black man stood up and said, How can the boss give me something so important to carry with me? Im just here to connect with you and take you to our designated trading place. Huh, you are really cautious. Gladius snorted. The black man laughed and said, After all, you are the famous Donquixote Family. We are just small-time people. We naturally have to be on guard. Did you bring all the money with you? Gladius stared at the black man for two flickers and waved. Several Donquixote Family members behind him stepped forward and opened the suitcase, which was densely packed with Berries of the largest denomination. Looking at Berries in the box, the black man swallowed his saliva and said to Gladius, The deal was 400 million Berries and 500 million worth of ammunition, but I only see Berries here. Gladiuss face remained unchanged. Arms cant be traded here all at once. You can take us to the trading place, dont play any tricks! Come on. The black man smiled and said: Our boss has prepared things for you. Under the leadership of the black man, Gladius and others took up the loaded Berries and left the dark alleyway and headed for a shore dock. Just before they left, a shadow in a cloak suddenly appeared in the dark street. He gently lifted the cloak and looked in the direction of Gladius and othersdeparture, with a slightly weird smile on his face. Whoop, Donquixote Family, the next force to deal with What on earth is such a large deal? Just as Laffitte was about to follow him, The Den Den Mushi in his pocket suddenly sounded. He connected Den Den Mushi and on the other side came Robins voice calling him back to the ship to assemble. Well, I know, but Ive found something interesting here. A big deal for Donquixote Family could have an unexpected payoff for us. After a moment of silence on the other side of Den Den Mushi, Robin relayed Rosss message: Captain says you can move freely and be safe. All right. Laffitte raised a strange curve at his mouth, put the Den Den Mushi in his pocket, turned into a dark shadow and quietly followed Gladius and others. Gladius and others moved more and more remote towards the outskirts of the island, but Laffittes concealment and tracking abilities were beyond doubt and even so, he can still easily follow them, without anyone noticing. Finally. Gladius and the members of Donquixote Family came to a shore of the Sabaody Archipelago, where a medium-sized ship was parked alone on this remote shore. Boss, the people of Donquixote Family are here. The leading black man came to the side of the ship and shouted at the ship. Then they heard footsteps sound coming from the ship. Soon a man with a Captain cap and a brown beard came down with twenty men and a wooden box in his hand. Gladius glanced at the wooden box in the captains hand, waved to his subordinates and asked them to open it again and revealed a large number of Berries in it. Well, 400 million Berries The brown-bearded Captain looked at the box of Berries, his eyes flashing with greed and a smile on his face. He slowly opened the box in front of him. In the dilapidated wooden box, there is a Devil Fruit, which has a big difference from Zoan and Paramecia. The whole body is khaki in color and the surface looks like sand. LogiaSand Sand Fruit! Nearly two years after the death of the sand Crocodile, this Logia Devil Fruit finally appeared on the sea again! Donquixote Family trades in the dark world, all over the sea. After Aces death, they found his devil fruit, so it is not surprising that they will be able to find other devil fruits. This is Logias, Sand Sand Devil Fruit. Gladius looked at the exquisite Devil Fruit, and his eyes flashed. Although he had already eaten Paramecias explosion fruit but for this 900 million Logia Sand Sand Fruit, he still showed a serious and solemn look. With this Devil Fruit, Donquixote Family can easily cultivate a cadre or even a top cadre and expand its influence. Then, close the deal. Gladius took a deep breath and signaled his men to deliver the money, while at the same time he reached for the devil fruit in the wooden box. Whether the next step is to turn the tables directly, overturn the deal and recapture the Berries, or just complete the deal, this fruit is the most important, he has to get his hands on it. However. Just as Gladius was grabbing at the sand fruit, a thumb-sized cylindrical object suddenly flew over from a distance and landed in the field. Bang! Before it fell, it burst apart abruptly, instantly turning into a mass of fog and instantly covering the area of tens of meters squared. The brown-bearded Captain was shocked. Subconsciously, he had to retrieve the wooden box in his hand. Gladius looked very mad when he saw it. He stepped forward and grabbed it. But. Just as his finger was about to touch the wooden box, a mahogany cane popped out of the mist, banged the wooden box in the brown beards hand out, and knocked on the back of his hand. Gladius had a pain in the back of his hand and a flash of anger in his eyes. Who? Who Dare to intervene in their Donquixote Family deal! In anger, Gladius did not retreat, and his fingers shook, throwing a bunch of explosive projectiles in the direction of the mahogany cane, enveloping the area. Bang! Bang! Bang! The violent explosion in the field blew and instantly dispersed the diffuse smoke, which was also mixed with the screams of the accidentally injured men, but Gladius could not care so much, the sand fruit must not be robbed. While the after-effects of the explosion were still continuing, Gladius jumped through the smoke and charged towards the wooden box and picked it up with his right hand. Dare to destroy Donquixote Familys business Grabbing the wooden box in his hand, Gladius regained his indifference and snorted coldly and looked down at the area which he had blown up. When the mist cleared, there was no shadow in the area, only one cherry petal. He is quick to escape! Gladius looked slowly at the wooden box in his hand and opened it slowly. But the moment the box opened, the expression on his face became stiff. The box was empty, and Devil Fruit had disappeared, replaced by three pink cherry petals, echoing the flock of petals on the ground, as if laughing at him for being an idiot. Damn it! Damn! Damn it!!!! Who is it, who is it?! Gladiuss face was blue and green as he gritted his teeth, his face showing sorrow and anger and he was about to launch his Devil Fruit ability to blow up the area, but no matter how he looked, he couldnt see any traces anymore. The only thing that impressed upon him was the mahogany cane, the one hidden in the fog, and the only shadow of his figure. CHAPTER 149 DARKNESS Sabaody Archipelago Ross doesnt know anything about Laffitte, but hes going to go against Donquixote Family sooner or later. Its easy to do it one step ahead of time. Whats more, the deal Laffitte found may be something of high value, such as one of the Great Grade Swords. Ross no longer needs to use his fist to stimulate the power of distortion after awakening his fruit power. He can easily concentrate the power of distortions on weapons such as swords, and then throw them out, just like Whitebeards shock ability. If he could get a good sword then it will be even better for him. After letting Robin and Laffitte return to the ship first, Ross searched for a persons existence on the island according to his memory Roger Pirates Vice Captain, Dark King Rayleigh. Dark King Rayleighs hanging bounty is as high as 2 billion Berries, but now Ross cannot defeat Rayleigh and will be beaten by him, he also has no plans of self-abuse, the reason why he intends to find Rayleigh is to see whether he can get some useful information from Rayleighs mouth. Ross knows a lot of secrets from his memory, but there are more things that he doesnt know. Compared to him, Rayleigh knows a lot more and a lot of information has a great effect. Unfortunately. After searching four or five islands, he could not find any trace of Rayleigh and a lot of time has been passed and a Marine Admiral will be coming here soon. Time to go. Ross didnt mind fighting Marine Admiral, but he didnt plan to fight Admiral in the Sabaody Archipelago. First of all, he certainly couldnt fight. Second, even if he could, what about another Admiral? Marine Headquarters is right next to Sabaody Archipelago. And just as Ross turned around, judged the direction, and began to return, there was a strange silence on the road ahead. Immediately afterward. He saw that in the distant streets, pedestrians stopped, like dominoes, kneeling down one by one and bowing to the ground as if to welcome the emperor. In the silence, everyone dared not breathe. At the end of the street, a man with bubbles on his head was sitting on the back of a slave, who crawled hard on the ground on all fours. World Nobletenryubito! The descendants of the kings who founded the World Government 800 years ago have the Supreme privilege, and all laws do not hold true for them and any offensive act will be regarded as a death penalty that can be killed on the spot. There is nothing fun today. Saint Charles rode slowly on his slave and yawned, showing a silly look. Several subordinates beside him followed respectfully and did not dare to answer at will. At this moment, he casually skipped and saw a young girl kneeling on the left side. His eyes flashed and his head looked at her for a second. It looks pretty good, Lets choose her as the wife of my new house. Yes. The subordinate next to him immediately responded respectfully and said, Go and handle the procedure for welcoming Mrs. 21 to Holy Land Mariejois right away. At the same time, several subordinates with indifferent faces approached the girl on her knees, ignoring her panic expression, and seized her. The people next to them saw this scene, all of them were full of horror, but no one dared to say anything. They were all sweating kneeling on the ground. The whole street except for the girls panic and crying is dead silence. It is a death sentence to commit a crime against tenryubito. Offending a tenryubito will directly invite a Marine Admiral on their head! TheSabaody Archipelago is the back garden of tenryubito. Nobody dares to offend tenryubito here. Even the wicked pirate and Supernova in the first half of Grand Line who sailed here are all unanimous in their choice and tolerance when facing tenryubito. As for those who have not yielded, they have fallen under the hands of Marine Admiral, paying the price for their actions, and writing a bloody warning for later generations! No one dares to speak. No one dares to do anything. Everyone watched as Tenryubitos guards grabbed the girl and slowly moved on. Some of the people who knew the girl gritted their teeth and their hearts were filled with grief. What was the point of their existence? But no one dares to stand up even if they are angry. Despite the azure blue sky, the threats of tenryubito and the World Government, as well as Marine Admiral, seem like a mountain of black clouds, which are pressing against the sky, making it difficult for everyone to breathe. However. In this silent repression, Tenryubito, sitting on a slave, suddenly flashed a glance of anger and looked ahead at the street. Hey, that fellow, dont you want to live? How dare you stand there! In front of a kneeling street, there is a figure standing there, standing is only the most common posture, but here, in front of tenryubito, it is extremely rare. The people there, listening to the sound of tenryubitos anger, looked up in horror and at the figure standing in front of the street. At this time, someone dared to stand? Humanity Ross looked at Saint Charles with indifferent eyes. His voice was calm and gentle. He said, How can you kneel down to the garbage? On a quiet street, Rosss voice echoed clearly and all the people who were kneeling there were all horrified and their eyes were wide open. Who is this guy? Didnt he know what would happen if he said that?! Saint Charles was there and it was the first time he had ever heard someone dared to say such a thing in front of him. In a moment of anger, his ugly face was completely deformed, his angry teeth were gnashed, his breath was aroused, and his hands were pinched dead. TraBastard Seeing Tenryubito shivering and unable to speak clearly, the guards and attendants next to him were somewhat shocked. One of them shouted at Ross: Do you know what you said?! Do you know who he is, hurry and kneel down and pray for forgiveness! While squatting, several guards stepped forward. But before they came to Ross, a strange force suddenly came and crushed several peoples bodies into the street in an instant. Together with the area several meters square, it collapsed suddenly and a huge pit appeared. See this scene, many people kneeling on both sides of the street, are showing some surprise, He dares to offend tenryubito, he is indeed not an ordinary person ah. He ispirate Captain of Ghost Hand Pirates, Ghost Hand Ross Some people looked at Ross and recognized his identity. His eyes were slightly widened as no one thought that there would be a pirate standing up at this time. No It should be said that he never knelt down from the beginning. Hes not afraid of Marine Admiral?! If you offend tenryubito, youll attract Marine Admiral. Many people were in a trance, and once again there was depression in their hearts. A Pirate stood up and provoked Tenryubito, but what about that? In the past, pirates have provoked tenryubito, but they have been overwhelmed by Marine Admiral. If the privileges and identities of tenryubito are the sources of their inner grief, then the existence of Marine Admiral is like the heavy black clouds in the sky! That will never fade, the dark cloud of despair! CHAPTER 150 LATE KIZARU You You damn bitch, dare to Saint Charles watched Ross slap his subordinates bodyguard and press them to the ground, disappearing without a trace and he finally responded. In addition to the anger in his heart, He couldnt help but feel a trace of fear. This person is not an ordinary untouchable, but a daring madman who dares to offend him! Its the Captain of Ghost Hand Pirates, Ghost Hand Ross! Standing behind him, the attendant recognized Ross, and a cold sweat overflowed on his forehead, A pirate who has a bounty of 440 million Berries on his head is not someone they could deal with! Saint Charles gritted his teeth, with a touch of anger and ferocity on his face, and roared, So what? Call Marine Admiral over to me! This Pirate is mad at this level, what are the Marines wastes doing! Listening to the angry roar of Saint Charles, the attendant behind him nodded sweatily. This situation needs to be notified at the Marine Headquarters for a Marine Admiral to come over. But before they dialed emergency Den Den Mushi, a strange force suddenly spread from the end of the street. This force is perfectly controlled, roaring through the middle of the street without touching the kneeling people on both sides of the street and binds all of them. Im sorry. Marine Admiral or something, Ive seen it once. Ross looked at Tenryubito and his men indifferently. With a swing of his outstretched hand, Ross crushed all the attendants and guards who tried to stand in front of Tenryubito and plunged them into the earth. Saint Charles saw this scene and at last, there was a look of panic on his face. He fell down from the slave and looked panic-stricken. However. It was precisely because he fell and sat down that he saw the slaves he was riding on. As if he had caught a life-saving straw, he twitched the chain in his hand and pulled the explosion ring on the slaves neck. He panicked and said: Quick! Hurry up and block him! However. The slave did not respond. Instead, he looked at Ross, who was coming slowly, and grinned, with an expression of relief. From the mans eyes in front of him, he clearly saw the kind of look that would never be touched by anything outside. It was the eyes of the strong. You useless thing, Useless! Saint Charles kicked the slave with his foot, but the slave turned his head and looked at him with a pair of bloodshot eyes and his heart trembled. Bang! A sound blew and the explosion ring on the slaves neck burst and fell into a pool of blood. Rosss eyes swept over the slave and did not stop too much and once again fell on Saint Charles, his figure shook and then he appeared silently in front of Saint Charles. Youyou, untouchable, what do you want to do? Saint Charles had a look of panic on his face, eyes wide, and a fear of death lingering in his mind as he watched Ross close by. He never thought about death in his life. He is World Noble tenryubito. Even if he offends a Marine Admiral, he would not say anything to him, let alone kill him. Is this man mad? But. No matter how horrified and fearful he was, Rosss eyes remained unchanged as he raised his feet calmly and stepping down at his feet. Almost at this time, a golden light shining in the sky, like a round of the sun came, In the golden light, a figure rushed toward this location at his fastest speed. But. It was too late. When the golden light finally arrived, Rosss feet also fell. The power of distortion was instantly agitated, and Saint Charless body, together with the ground more than ten meters below, was shattered and eventually buried in the sea through Yarukiman Mangroves roots. You Kizaru, who was able to arrive, looked at the scene. His wretched face showed unprecedented vibration. Ross actually killed a tenryubito! He never expected to encounter such a thing! Not to mention killing a tenryubito, even if one tenryubito was offended, it was a crime of death. It needed Marine Admiral to be dispatched and maintained and now a tenryubito was killed and he was killed in the Sabaody Archipelago, not to mention him, even the government and Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) have to bear the great pressure brought by the tenryubito community! The audience was silent. Not even Kizaru had thought of it, let alone the people kneeling on both sides of the street, they all looked incredibly at the huge hole where Tenryubito had disappeared. Unlike Kizarus emotions, this scene falls into their eyes like a faint light, tearing apart the dark clouds that oppress the whole world. Tenryubito, are not gods! Tenryubito can die too! In dead silence, Kizaru slowly spoke. After all, he was a Marine Admiral who had experienced countless incidents and countless Battles and soon recovered from the shock of his heart. In this case, this is very bad. Kizaru stared at Ross, narrowed his eyes a little, and said, Ghost Hand Ross, do you know what youve done? I had some doubts about you being similar to that dangerous old man, but now you look like At this point, his tone stopped and he did not go on talking, while the half-sentence he had pressed down was Like Revolutionary Army Leader Dragon! Its not Aokiji. Ross turned slowly and looked at Kizaru. He was not surprised by Kizarus arrival, because it was very close to Marine Headquarters, and Kizaru would be the fastest person to arrive from Headquarters. And Aokiji chased him in Florian Triangle sea for several days before he was finally shaken off by him. Although Florian Triangle sea is foggy, it is an indisputable fact that he failed to catch him. It is also a surprise for Kizaru to deal with him. Ross looked at Kizaru indifferently and said: You can only blame yourself for being late. Its a real headache now. I originally came here in a relaxed mood. Kizaru recovered a little bit of trivial tone, but still with a trace of depression. It doesnt matter whether he catches Ross or not before. He doesnt really care about it. He just wanted to try. But now a tenryubito died in Rosss hands and he was killed on the Sabaody Archipelago, if he did not catch Ross, he would not be able to explain to the government and tenryubito! Originally ambiguous, it has become necessary to defeat Ross, which makes Kizaru, who has always been lazy, very angry. Marine Admiral, Kizaru! People on both sides of the street were also paying attention to Kizaru at this time. As the residents of Sabaody Archipelago, They all knew the Marines three Admirals. Someones voice trembled slightly and pronounced Kizarus identity and code. Why dont anyone dare to offend tenryubito, even ordinary pirates? Its because offending a tenryubito will bring down a Marine Admiral! Without Marine Admirals protection, Tenryubito would have long been tortured and killed by angry people. Why would they dare to overrule the world? Can you survive? Ghost Hand Ross Ignoring the privileges conferred by the World Government and the heavenly World Government, a tenryubito was killed here, a tenryubito who made everyone feel bitter and hateful. Whatever Rosss identity, a pirate or Revolutionary Army, in the hearts of all, has become a ray of dawn piercing black clouds, but this ray of dawn, now encountering a huge crisis, that is, Marine Admiral, representing the black clouds that oppress the whole sky! CHAPTER 151 *HIDDEN* Because Tenryubito is dead, there is no need to continue kneeling, standing up is not against the law, many people began to quietly retreat, and a large number of Marine began to surround the area. This is the Marine Admiral that upholds justice. Its ridiculous. On the way back, many people were looking at Kizaru. They didnt know who had lowered their voice. They mocked him with a voice that only they could hear. However. This sentence, however, is so clear that it goes into the ear of Kizaru, who expanded Observation Haki to prevent Ross from escaping, and this sentence made his face more gloomy. Tenryubitos running dog. The so-called justice is to bully us for tenryubito. A sentence, from the mouth of the people, uttered with a very low voice, except for themselves, even the people next to them could not understand. But this sentence, all of them have clearly entered Kizarus ears. Ghost hand, Ross Kizarus face looked ugly and he wasnt going to waste any more time. He stared at Ross, and with a sudden twinkle, he came near Ross and kicked him horizontally. He had originally planned to tease Ross by asking him if he had been kicked by the speed of light. Now he is not interested. His only purpose is to defeat Ross and send him to trial as soon as possible. Buzz!! When Kizarus foot came two feet away from Ross, Ross could hardly keep up with him until he reached the distance of two feet, but strangely, his foot slowed down sharply and turned into a shining golden light. Rosss movements were slow in Kizarus eyes, but he was also blocked by Rosss power of distortion and finally, Rosss arm was raised and blocked in front of his leg. Bang! Rosss arm blocked Kizarus foot, but he still collapsed and flew out, knocking down two buildings in a row before stopping. You dont seem to be as fast as you think, Kizaru. Ross landed on a clearing. Despite flying upside down and smashing two buildings, he was not injured. The impact was completely blocked by the walls of Distortion. His current strength is no match for Kizaru, but he will not be injured by Kizaru. After his devil fruit awakened, the gap between him and Admiral is still there, but it is not huge like before. Would you please hold your hand?! Kizarus voice came from a distance but suddenly came behind Ross the next moment, he kicked Ross with one foot again and said, and Let me explain to tenryubito. Bang! Rosss Observation Haki captured Kizarus action. He was too close to react, but now its enough to turn around and he once again blocked Kizarus attack. After two brief encounters with Kizaru, Ross realized a point clearly Kizarus speed is faster than Aokijis, but its not the speed of light, and its far from the speed of light. As expected. Rosss eyes were calm. He had guessed that Kizarus speed is probably the upper limit of human consciousness. Now it seems that it should be the case now. Kizarus fruit speed limit is the speed of light, but his nerve response cant reach the speed of light. To attack, the idea of attacking is necessary before the body can implement it. How can the human mind reach the level of light speed, complete a series of control over the body in an instant and move a long distance and kick it out? Therefore, Kizarus speed limit is his reaction speed, which is also the limit of human neural response. Distortion Impact! Ross, who was kicked again by Kizaru for the second time used the Gravity Distortion. The direction in which he flew turned into a parabola from backward, slanting to the sky, and punching Kizaru at the same time. Kizaru stood on the ground, his slender legs kicked out violently and attacked Ross from afar. A bright golden light suddenly burst out and collided with the invisible power of distortions in the air. Zi Zi! The Golden Light penetrated Rosspower of distortion and came to Ross, but there was only a little light left, and it exploded. Rosss hands were empty and the aftermath of the explosion was contained in his palm as it was stopped in the palm of his hand, he then turned sharply and pressed toward the void behind him. Almost at this moment, Kizaru appeared in Rosss back and kicked him. Bang! There was an earth-shaking explosion in the sky, and the bright golden light instantly shone on the nearby streets, affecting the whole island and making countless people look up to the sky in horror. Look, what is that?! The golden light dissipated and there were two suspended figures in the sky. One was Ross and the other was Kizaru, Ross was slightly confused, while Kizaru was somewhat calm. Almost at this time, Ross blinked and sipped low. Distortion, Sonic explosion! Aokiji has suffered from this tactic under his command, but he may not tell Kizaru about it. Ross is not stingy with his tactics. He is now fighting against a Marine Admiral and only by using the sonic explosion technique can he achieve some results. As for light explosion, it is mostly ineffective for Kizaru whose body is light, in the case of Light Distortion An alternative fruit ability cant compete with a single fruit for light control, just as it cant compete with Sand Fruits ability to control sand. Buzz!!! Sure enough, Kizaru didnt know Ross had this trick. In an instant, his ears were buzzing and his head was swooning. Without hesitation, Ross rushed towards Kizaru, wrapped in the power of distortion, and smashed Kizaru in the head. Bang! Kizarus ears are fiercely Buzzing! His mind is dizzy and he cant make a dodge action. In a hurry, he can only wave his arms and display Armament Haki to fight. Ross hit Kizaru with a punch Bang, which shocked his arm instantly. He also sank sharply, but rather than falling down weirdly, he was sucked into the air by Ross Gravity Distributions ability. Knee hit, swing, sweep, cross kick Utilizing Kizarus current weakness, Ross quickly attacked him from all directions and because Kizaru was unable to use his speed to avoid him, He had to face Rosss attacks directly in Close-Combat and little by little Kizaru was beaten. After a series of attacks by Ross, Kizaru, who was severely affected by the sonic explosion, could only fight in an awkward fashion. Because he relied too much on his devil fruits, once he was affected, he could not play the advantage of the speed and he sucked at Close-Combat Fighting. Ross broke up his rack three or five times and smashed his chest and belly with a knee bump. Puff! Even with Armament Haki, its impossible to take Rosss knee bump without receiving any damage. Kizaru sprayed blood in an instant and felt a fall between his chest and belly. You You see this, right?! The people were shocked to see Ross killing tenryubito and they were stunned when they saw the fight between him and an Admiral. What did they see? Marine Headquarters Admiral Kizaru, was a hammered by Ghost Hand Ross? And he is still vomiting blood? Distortion hammer! Ross noticed that Kizaru had almost recovered after the knee impact. His hands were hammered together and he hit Kizaru with a sharp hammer. Kizarus arms crossed over his head and he waved, but he was still turned into a golden light as he was hit by Ross and dropped to the ground below. Chapter 151 Beating Kizaru CHAPTER 152 ESCAPING Bang! A sound came from the ground and the golden light burst, smashing several buildings. After hammering Kizaru from the sky, Ross did not hesitate at all. The Light Distortion and Distortion sounds started at the same time as he disappeared silently from the sky and he appeared in the distance. Hello Kizaru, good-bye Kizaru. Cough! Cough! In a burst of golden light, Kizaru recovered his form and he coughed violently and his mouth was still overflowing with a trace of blood. He was completely angry. Even if he dealt with Yonk (Four Emperors), he had never suffered such a loss. Sensing that Ross had escaped, Kizaru had an angry look on his face and he suddenly turned into a golden light and rushed into the sky. Do you want to leave after doing such a bad wicked thing? Whiz! Whiz! Kizaru was so fast that even though Ross had flown far ahead of him, he was still catching up quickly, but Ross was not afraid as he pulled out his Named Sword Happy Spring from his waist and attacked towards Kizarus direction. Sword of Distortion! Above the blade, there is a power of distortion visible to the naked eye. Then under Rosss sword, it bursts out in a sudden linear burst and cuts diagonally towards Kizaru. Kizarus body turned a little golden light, and his hands shook. A golden sword was formed and waved at Ross. Ama no Murakumo(Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven)! Bang! The power of Distortion collided with the laser in the air and exploded violently again. Ross faces Kizaru while holding the Happy Spring in both hands and slamming it towards Kizaru, while he continues to retreat under the power of Gravity Distortion and Gepp (Moonwalk). Kizaru flickered in a series of crisscrossing Dexterity choppers and eventually came to Ross by virtue of his fruit power and Hakis ability to break through Rosss obstruction. The golden sky fell sharply from the clouds and swords, colliding with Happy Spring in Rosss hand. After a second of freezing in the air, Rosss power of distortion collapsed and the whole person fell downward. In midair, Ross turned sideways. Whiz! Kizaru turned into golden light to catch up with him and kicked hard. Ross hit him with a backhand punch. In the collision between the fists and kicks, Ross once again flew out and was in midair. He used the Gravity Distortion to shift direction and continued to fly toward the coast while holding the Happy Spring in his right hand. Yasakani no Magatama (Comma Jewel of Eight Shaku). Kizaru, facing Rosss successive chopping, closed his hands in front of him, shot the sky cluster cloud sword into golden photons and disappeared. At the same time, his arms crisscrossed, fantasizing countless lasers, and sprayed at Ross. Bang! Bang! Bang!! The Yasakani no Magatama (Comma Jewel of Eight Shaku) directly included all the large areas in the attack range. Every laser fell on the earth and a sound broke out like heavy artillery. During the continuous bombing, Rosss figure was slightly awkward and rushed out of the smoke. His swords were in front of him, and his shoulder and leg clothes were damaged. Distortion Strike! With both hands clasping Happy Spring, Ross slammed his sword. The power of distortion of this sword is directly in the form of a wide-scale attack, like an invisible Dragon tornado, where the void seems to be Distortion. Whiz! Whiz! Instead of hitting Ross hard, Kizaru made a quick ascent with speed, avoiding Rosss trick, pausing for a moment in midair and then turning to dive again. They ran after each other and soon hit the shore all the way. Kizaru is here, get ready! Laffitte had returned to the ship and by this time the battle between Ross and Kizaru had already been noticed. As the golden light and Ross approached, they all held their breath. Whiz! Just as Ross arrived on the coast and Kizaru was within the reach of Robins Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi), Robin resolutely put out her hand and crossed her arms in front of her. Treinta Fleur! Clutch(Thirty Flower! Clutch)! Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) is the ability to visualize arms directly on all objects within a certain range. Although Kizaru is fast enough, the launching of Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) ignores the moving speed of objects. Bang! Kizarus body instantly collapsed into a golden light and although he could breathe enough to regain his original shape, the wrinkles on his face became a little more. In the match with Aokiji, Robin was frozen in the ice without doing anything, but the battle still made her Armament Haki grow by a lot, although still weak and it can not cause any substantial damage to Kizaru. But it can still affect him. ROOM! Just when Robin interfered with Kizaru, Law also launched his ability. The translucent cover instantly expanded and Ross was enveloped in the cover, followed by a finger. Whoosh! Rosss figure disappeared in the sky and when he reappeared, he came to the ship and in the previous original location of Ross appeared a bomb made by Laffitte. Kizaru was still kicking sideways, and the bomb exploded in front of him. You dont have to send us away, Kizaru, We shall meet soon. Ross waved to Kizaru, and power of distortion started. The bottom of the ship splashed a huge wave and the whole ship crashed and sank into the sea. In the face of Aokiji, it is almost useless to flee into the sea. The other party can freeze the sea in an instant, or even chase down all the way, so he can only flee up. In the face of Kizaru, on the contrary, he cant run-up to the sky as he will be killed. It is the right way to flee to the bottom of the sea. Glint-Glint Fruit cant get to the sea, nor can it freeze the sea. Kizaru turned into a golden light and rushed out of the explosion. It was also unexpected that Ross had sunk into the sea with his ship in an instant, which was totally beyond his expectation. First of all, the ship was not coated. Second, Ross used the power of distortion to sink the ship into the sea, which was much faster than anything else. With the interference of Robin, Law, and Laffitte, he could not stop them for the first time. He is not Aokiji, he cant freeze the sea. Yasakani no Magatama (Comma Jewel of Eight Shaku). Looking at the vast sea, Kizarus face was covered with wrinkles and his eyebrows were all crowded together. He could not help but cross his arms and launch a wide-ranging attack against the power of the sea, trying to get Ross and others out of the sea bank. He attacked close to half a minute and almost boiled the nearby seawater, but he never saw any traces of Ghost Hand Pirates. The ability to enter the sea is a dead-end, but Ross is not an idiot and a fool. Since he chose to sink into the sea, he definitely has a way to survive under the sea. Finally. Kizaru turned into a golden light and returned to the shore, looking at the sea, his face showing unprecedented distress. He did not do anything this time. He couldnt stop Ross from killing tenryubito, didnt capture Ross and the crew of the Ghost Hand Pirates escaped. Now I really cant explain this. CHAPTER 153 OVERNIGH In the sea. Kizarus Yasakani no Magatama (Comma Jewel of Eight Shaku) fired at the sea and it covered a wide range of underwater areas, but his attack was not hitting any coated ship or submarine, but a ship under the maximum escort of Rosss Distortion Wall. Although the lasers could penetrate Rosss Destruction wall, their speed and power were greatly slowed down and no serious damage could be caused to the hull. The ship sank diagonally all the way down, and soon Kizarus laser was no longer visible. That is Marine Admiral KizaruLogia Glint-Glint Fruit, these Marine Admirals really eat some good things. When Law saw that the laser had disappeared, he was completely safe and pushed the demon knife into its scabbard. Robin stood in front of the deck guardrail, looked up at the sea above her and after a while retracted her eyes, saying, He is extremely fast, similar to that Wings Of Sky, I could hardly catch his movements. There is still a difference. Ross also pushed the Happy Spring to its scabbard around his waist and shrank the area of the Distortion wall around the ship to slow down his stamina consumption, while his eyes flashed. Glint-Glint Fruit gives an unrestricted body with limited response speed. Speed Fruits acceleration ability ignores the optic nerve response speed, but the body cant be elementalized. One is limited by the speed of reaction, the other is limited by the bodys ability to withstand its power, in general, there are certain restrictions to them, otherwise, it is almost an invincible ability. Robin and Law understand Ross meaning and thought to themselves. Speaking of it, your ability, too, is limited by the speed of response. Ross turned to look at Law next to him. Laws Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit is capable of exchanging positions within the ROOM range. It can be exchanged with sandstones and even air. But it is limited to Law reaction speed, The faster his reaction, the faster is the speed of exchange. And because of space movement, it is not limited by physical strength, but his ability will consume a lot of stamina, which can be regarded as a kind of limitation. As Robin and Law pondered, Laffitte looked up and turned to Ross and said, Captain, I got this from Donquixote Family before. He shook his wrist and a delicate Devil Fruit appeared in his palm, the Logia Sand Sand Fruit that was taken from Gladius. Ross recognized the Sand Sand fruit, one of the three fruits he especially told Kaku and others to collect. Logia Devil Fruit is different from Paramecia and Zoan in appearance. It is the easiest type to judge. For example, Flame-Flame Fruit has flame color and there is swirl flame pattern on its entire body. Logia Sand Sand Fruit Ross took the Sand Sand fruit from Laffitte and looked at it carefully in front of him. He smiled and said, Donquixote Familys trading network is huge and its doing a good job. Whoop, It is indeed. Laffitte raised the corner of ceremonial and looked at Law next to him. They also have to deal with Donquixote Family and one of the reasons for dealing with Donquixote Family is the existence of Trafalgar Law, Their ship doctor. But this fruit cannot be used for the time being. All four of them are Devil Fruit users, They dont really have any use of the Sand Sand fruit right now. Ross measured Sand Sand Fruit and said:Rest assured, it will come in handy sooner or later. Logias fruit will be a powerful Battle force as long as its used well. As he spoke, he put Sand Sand Fruit away and looked around him as it grew darker. He originally intended to fly over the Red Line, but since he has already descended into the sea, it is better to go from the Fisherman island, so as not to encounter Kizaru when flying to the sky. Dressrosa. Inside the central City Fort, Doflamingo is sitting on a sofa with a Den Den Mushi in his hand, listening to the news from Den Den Mushi, with a sinister smile on his face. Running to the Sabaody Archipelago and killing Saint Charles? He has always been concerned about the intelligence of the Ghost-Hand Pirates. As far as he knows, the main ship of the Ghost-Hand Pirates has disappeared and the bounty order of Great Axe Xilu has been withdrawn. Only three Captain cadres headed by Ross are still fleeing and have become bereaved dogs. Unexpectedly, the group ran to the Sabaody Archipelago and retaliated by killing a tenryubito! Doflamingo used to be a tenryubito, but because of a series of things he lost his tenryubitos identity, even if he took his fathers head to Holy Land, he still didnt get approval and couldnt get back the identity of tenryubito, so he hated tenryubito very much. The Saint Charles family was one of the tenryubitos who opposed him in regaining his identity. Fufufuful, interesting, I reckon there will a major mess in Mariejois soon. Doflamingo couldnt help but laugh and his strange laughter echoed in the City Palace. Trebol also slid crawling over the ground, flicking his nose and grinning: Hey hey hey, Ghost Hand Pirates killed a tenryubito. Its really good news. Doflamingo has to deal with both the Ghost Hand Pirates and Tenryubito. Now that the Ghost Hand Pirates has killed a Tenryubito, there is no more pleasant news. Just as Doflamingo and Trebol laughed, the Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang again. Puru Puru Puru! Doflamingo took over the Den Den Mushi with a smile on his face. I am very sorry, young master. From the other side of Den Den Mushi, it was the voice of Gladius and his tone was extremely depressed. Sand Sand Fruit was taken away during the transaction. Doflamingos smile froze on his face for an instant. Trebol beside him also stared. His tone was very annoying. What did you do Gladius? How could someone rob us? Who dares to break our Donquixote Family deal?! Subordinates Willing to take responsibility and punishment. Gladius said in a dry voice: The situation was special and it was not possible to confirm the identity of the other party. However, according to the survey, it should be Demon Sherrif Laffitte of the Ghost Hand Pirates. This sentence made the atmosphere in the City Fort suddenly fell into a strange silence. Doflamingos face is completely stiff. He cant smile anymore. At the same time. Ghost Hand Ross killed tenryubito Saint Charles in the Sabaody Archipelago and confronted Marine Headquarters Admiral Kizaru and injured him, This news quickly spread in the entire sea. If the news about the Ghost Hand Pirates in the past just shocked the big powers, this piece of news left the entire world in silence. Killing a tenryubito! Fighting and injuring a Marine Admiral! It is simply an incredible event of dreams. The weak Ghost Hand Pirates who could have fallen at any point by in front of the irritated government and Marines previously has grown up to this point where they dared to kill a tenryubito and injured an Admiral and escaped. Overnight, the sky turned upside down! CHAPTER 154 *HIDDEN* Marine Headquarters. At this moment, the Marine Headquarters has already become a mess. Walking in the corridor one can see a large number of Marines rushing in and out of the headquarters, some people with a trace of cold sweat on their forehead. In the top office, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was covering his forehead with a very depressed face. Aokiji went after Ghost Hand Ross and Ross ran away from the sky. Kizaru went after Ross, As a result, the other party ran away from the sea. Naturally, that was not the point right now. The point was that Ross killed a World Noble tenryubito in the Sabaody Archipelago. Sengoku! Youre coming to Holy Land right now! And Aokiji, Kizaru, come along too! On the other end of Den Den Mushi, the voice of the former Marine Fleet Admiral, the current Commander In Chief Steel Bone Kongs came. It was only a few years since he left Marine Fleet Admirals post and now Marines had caused so much trouble that now Tenryubito has gone to Mariejois and scolded government officials at all levels. Yes Commander Kong. Sengokus eyebrows were almost twisted together, his fists pinched and his heart was furious, but at this time he could not break out and only responded to the voice on the other side of Den Mushi. In this office, there are a total of six people, in addition to Sengoku, Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu the three Marine Admirals, plus two special Vice-Admirals Crane and Garp. Hahaha, did that kid kill a tenryubito? Garp had just arrived at the office, and he had just heard about it. As soon as he came in, he grinned and laughed unconcernedly, instantly destroying the oppressive atmosphere. Garp! Sengoku stared at Garp angrily and shouted, How can you still laugh at this time? Dont you know how serious this is?! Garp saw Sengoku angry and forcibly suppressed his smile and waved his hand at Sengoku. In his eyes, tenryubito is a group of trash. It gives him quite a pleasure to hear that one died. This is one of the reasons why he has repeatedly refused to be promoted to Admiral. Once he became Admiral and a tenryubito was offended, he would have to be dispatched immediately to give tenryubito a head. This is undoubtedly something Garp cant stand and he wont run to give tenryubito a head. Sengokus face turned blue, but there was nothing he could do with Garp. He turned to Kizaru and Aokiji and said, Kizaru, Aokiji, come with me to Holy Land. Kizaru did not have a foolish attitude at this time, and the whole person seemed a little withered, not afraid, but this troublesome thing was spread out by him, which is really the first time since he became Admiral. Aokijis face was not very good either. Although his attitude toward tenryubito is not good, in Florian Triangle sea before, if he could catch Ross, it would not cause such a troublesome event now. Akainus face is not very good-looking, although these incidents have nothing to do with him, but Rosss affairs, if calculated from the beginning, still involve him here. This time its really Its a terrible mess. Crane watched Sengoku and Aokiji and others walk out of the room. He shook his head and there was a glimmer in his wise eyes. Garp found a pack of cactus shellfish and sat down on the sofa, eating and saying, Let that fellow do his Pirate Hunting in peace and stability. Akainu left the office. Because it happened in the eyes of the public and it was too late to block the news, it was impossible to press it afterward. Whats more, the government and the interior of the Marine are already in a mess. Three days later, countless people were watching. About the new bounty for the Ghost Hand Pirates, Surgeon of Death Trafalgar Law 60 million Berries, Devil Child Nico Robin 120 million Berries and Demon Sherrif Laffitte 200 million berries. As Captain, Ghost Hand Ross, the principal of the murder of tenryubito, his suspended bounty jumped to a terrible height 1 Billion Berries! Whether escaping from Marine Admiral or killing World Noble tenryubito, there is no doubt that he can afford the terrifying bounty of 1 billion Berries! This kind of reward does not need to be halfway in advance, even in the second half of the Grand Line, New World, this bounty also jumped to the front, reaching the level of Three Disasters, second only to the Four Emperor! And all of this, Ross and his party still do not know it. Nine kilometers under the sea. At this depth, the pressure from the sea has become terrifying, the surrounding sea has become dark, and Rosss control of the Distortion wall has shrunk to almost the edge of the ship. In fact, Ross and others can no longer determine how many meters deep the seafloor is. Fisherman Island is recorded as 10,000 meters deep, but in fact, the whole fisherman island is spherical and its diameter is not only 10 kilometers, so the fisherman island is still in the deeper seafloor. The so-called 10,000 meters is just a proxy for very deep and very deep. No one knows how long it has been. Even Ross was under tremendous pressure, his forehead gradually overflowed with sweat, and a dark sea floor finally appeared bright. Looking in the direction of the light, a planet-like island is wrapped in a huge double-layered bubble, suspended in the sea. At last, this is the rumored Fisherman Island Robin stood not far from Ross and when Fisherman Island finally appeared, the worry in her eyes slowly dissipated, turning to Fisherman Island, her eyes twinkled. Law and Laffitte also came to the bow and looked in the direction of Fishermans Island. Even though their personalities were calm, the scenery of Fishermans island was still amazing. Ross did not speak. He sank the ship to Fisherman Island with the power of distortion. His stamina was in constant depletion. Even with Tenacious talent, he had already seen the bottom. When he saw the Fisherman island, he immediately controlled the ship to dive towards the Fisherman island. The slow-dive ship, under Rosss power, accelerated abruptly and did not go around the Fishermans Islands front door. Instead, it went straight through the bubbles above the slope. Buzz!! Fisherman Island is wrapped by double bubbles. There is no seawater in the center of the two bubbles. Generally, if a ship runs hard, it will fall directly to the bottom. But Rosss ship has no such problem. After passing through the first bubbles, it shakes a little and hovers in the air immediately. Allowing the ship to hover and float in the air is much easier than proposing a wall of Distortion that protects the entire ship from the deep seabed. Huh! Ross breathed a sigh of relief when the ship got into a double bubble. Originally, he planned to bypass the Fisherman Island and get to New World directly through the sea channel, but he overestimated himself. He did not have such strong stamina. Chapter 154Bounty Of 1 Billon Berries CHAPTER 155 MJOSGARD Ross adjusted slightly to control the ship through the second layer of bubble and landed on a beach clearing near the edge of the Fishermans Island, where it quickly and steadily stopped. Pirate Ship? Some of the Fishman on the beach, seeing the fallen Pilate Ship, showed some strange eyes, not all of them showed fear. If it had been in the first few years of Great Age of Pirates, when Pirate Ship had rushed into the Fisherman Island, all the Fishman would have dispersed and fled for their lives. But. Since Whitebeard has inserted his flag into the fishermans island and listed the fishermans island as his own territory, the pirates passing by here have barely dared to rush to the island to hunt down the mermaids and Fishman. The weak pirate will be blocked directly from entering and the powerful pirate with the high and strong strength is very clear about what kind of existence is Whitebeard. Almost no one provokes Whitebeard before entering the New World. Mermaids, such rare species. Laffitte stepped down from the boat and looked at the distant mermaids, who either hid or jumped into the water, laughing and appreciating most of them. Law carried the demon knife on his shoulder and whispered, It doesnt seem that they are afraid of pirates. This is normal because its Whitebeard territory. Ross walked slowly from the rear, his eyes slightly deeper: If Whitebeards power can be much larger and bigger than the World Government, then he will be the actual World Government. There is only a power in this world and there is only a strong and weak one. At New World, at the level of Yonk (Four Emperors), the division of power and territory is clear and everything in their territory is also sheltered by them. At this level, the so-called government and pirate are hard to distinguish clearly. If the governments existence is defined as order and the existence of pirate is defined as chaotic, then at the level of Yonk (Four Emperors), there is no longer chaos, but a corresponding order. If the power of Whitebeard Pirates is to be much larger and bigger than the World Government, then there will be something that looks like Whitebeard Government and Tenryubito Pirates, which seems ridiculous but seems to be the case. Every year, tenryubito collects heavenly gold from all over the world. All the people have to hand over their savings to supply tenryubito. In fact, it is called legal plundering. World Government. Its essence is a bigger and they are just more orderly Pirates, nothing more. No wonder theres a change in the system where he can be rewarded by killing Marines To understand this, Ross also has a deeper understanding of Talent Systems reward rules. The essence should be hunting the strong. So killing Lucci of CP9 got him some rewards, By Killing Shichibukai, he will get more rewards but killing a tenryubito awarded him with nothing, because in the systems judgment, the tenryubito killed by him is only garbage that has privilege but no strength. Come on, lets go in. Breathing the air of the fishermans island on the beach, Ross opened his eyes and walked towards the inside of the fishermans island. Now that he has come to Fisherman Island, he will take a break and stop by to see the Sea King, one of the three ancient weapons Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi! Of the three ancient weapons, Ross knows best is Sea King, who can communicate with Sea Kings of the ocean and command the powers of Sea Kings. Whatever biota is the strongest in the world, in front of the Sea King class, whether it is human or the giant clan, all of them have to stand aside. The Giant Elephant Zunisha carrying Zou, Whose single trunk attack defeated one of the three Disasters Jack and there are more than a dozen sea kings of that size and power in the sea. These super-large Sea King classes may not have any chance of defeating Marine Admiral and Yonk (Four Emperors), but it is easy for them to destroy an Island. The so-called power to destroy the world is not the power of being invincible in the world. It is the power that can ruin the world. If Shirahoshi issued an order to destroy all the islands in the world, then Yonk (Four Emperors) and Admiral can do whatever they want to stop the Sea-kings but there will still be countless islands destroyed by the Sea Kings. This is the so-called destruction of the world. Whether it is Uranus or Pluton or Sea King, they are all nuclear weapons, Ross will not let them go in another hand until he has the power to truly control and protect the lockboxes. But by the time he has the strength to fight Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, even against the Marine Headquarters, the ancient weapons will be in his hands and he will have all the powers in this world! The other side. Somewhere in a delicate street paved with shells, a ship flying the flag of World Government appeared, but the whole ship was broken, the mast was broken, a piece was missing at the edge and it seemed to have been gnawed on by the Sea Kings. A lot of Fishman and mermaids were gathered in amazement and at this time, a gun sound rang in front of the ship and echoed on the street. Wheezing! Wheezing! The beasthow are all dead this bunch of useless waste Tenryubito Mjosgard was lying there breathless, bloody, with a gun in his hand and a wisp of smoke at the mouth of the guns. Since Jinbe had recently accepted the Shichibukai Treaty as Seven Warlords of the Sea, he was very unhappy with the full amnesty of the fisherman slaves. As a tenryubito, he came to the fisherman island by ship to try to catch the slaves himself. As a result, he was attacked by the Sea Kings halfway and his attendants were completely destroyed in order to protect him. Get the mask, fish! Mjosgard lay there with the gun in his hand pointing to the fishermen around him. Although he became weak because of serious injuries, he still showed strong rampancy and incomprehensibility. KhAh The stench of the fish here is killing me. I dont want to bring the mask, hurry up and save me, idiots! Many Fishmen and mermaids looked at Tenryubito lying there with serious injuries using the look at me and I look at you policy. No one knew how to deal with it for a while. Its the first time that Tenryubito has come to the fisherman island. When Mjosgard raised his hand to his gun and saw all the fishermen and mermaids standing silent around him, he cried out with great difficulty, You fools, call the doctor, huh Call Ill die if I am not treated. By this time, the guards of Dragon Palace had arrived. The Captain looked at the scene, hesitated, turned to the guards behind him and asked, What about the medical team? They are already here, but what exactly should we do with that fellow There was hesitation on the guards face behind him. As a member of the fisherman island, it was almost impossible to say that he would have a good feeling for tenryubito. Moreover, the tenryubito was so aggressive and arrogant that he thought them as his slaves even when he was dying. While the guards hesitated, the fishermen of the Sun Pirates and Jinbes subordinates slowly came forward with weapons and stared coldly at Mjosgard. There are several of them who used to be slaves to tenryubito. Hey! What do you want to do?! The guards and the Fish-men around them were shocked when they saw the members of the Sun Pirates coming forward. Some people opened their mouths nervously and asked. Instead of paying attention to them, the people of the Sun Pirates walked towards Mjosgard step by step with a cold face and a look of destructiveness in their eyes. CHAPTER 156 HE WAS KILLED BY ME Stop it, you guys. Hes tenryubito. Once you do anything to him, even Shichibukais amnesty will be directly ineffective! Watching the Sun Pirates move towards Mjosgard, someone nervously tries to stop them. The fish-man of the Sun Pirates ignored the call and the first one pulled out a gun and pointed it at Mjosgard and said indifferently: On land, your dignity can only be maintained by Marine Admirals compulsory mission, but here is the seafloor. As long as the islanders remain silent, Your death will be counted as a shipwreck. Hearing this sentence, the surrounding fish-men and mermaids suddenly realized something. Thats right. Ill keep silent! Is that all right?! Many fish-man began to clamor for it. They have hesitated before but now things have changed. Some even showed fierceness and are thinking of killing Mjosgard themselves. The first fish-man looked at the dying Mjosgard, but he lost his interest in torture. His eyes twinkled with a cold light as he pulled the trigger. Whiz! But just then, a figure rushed over, rescued Mjosgard, and blocked the bullet fired at Mjosgard with her shoulder. Shes Otohime, Princess of Fishman Island! His Royal Highness!! Seeing this scene, the faces of the fish-man and mermaid around them changed as no one thought that Otohime would rush over and would be injured. Everyone put down your guns The injured Otohimes forehead overflowed with sweat. She raised her head slightly with difficulty, looked at the fish-man with guns beside her and opened her mouth in silence. On one hand, it is impossible to watch a Tenryubito being killed by the fish-man because of her kindness. On the other hand, if Tenryubito is rescued, it may bring some changes to the status of Fishman Island. Not far away. The six-year-old mermaid Princess Shirahoshi and the other three princes came close, watching Otohime hurt, Shirahoshi and her shark and others all showed panic and worry. While Otohimes voice was slightly painful, trying to get the nearby fish-man to put down the guns, Mjosgard behind her picked up his gun and pointed to Otohime. But But wicked fish Seeing this scene, all the fish-men in the vicinity were angry. Jinbe standing in the crowd shouted and was about to rush over, but it seemed a little too late. Bang! Mjosgard pulled the trigger. A bullet shot at the princess Otohime, but because of Mjosgards weakness and trembling wrists, it did not shoot straight at Otohime and seemed to pass her by. But just as the bullet hit halfway, an invisible force suddenly spurred from a distance, crossed a ripple in the void and hit the flying bullet straight. Bang! Almost instantly, the bullet was completely destroyed and the force that caused the air to appear with a strange Distortion, after destroying the bullet, fell on the ground again and instantly created a finger size hole on the ground whose bottom couldnt be seen! At the top of a shellfish building not far away, Ross slowly retrieved his finger, stepped out with indifferent eyes, and appeared in the scene in a flash. Her Highness the Princess! Human?! Many fish-men looked at Otohime in horror and worry as Ross suddenly appeared on the scene. Otohime then realized that the tenryubito behind her had fired his gun at her, She watched as Ross suddenly appear on the scene and recalled the sound of the gun and that she was not injured. She was slightly shocked and soon realized what had happened. Garbage will always remain garbage. Ross looked at Mjosgard with indifference. After being rescued by Otohime, He fired on Otohime back, He tried to kill someone who saved him. It was probably only Tenryubito who could do that. Ross stood there, noticing Otohimes gaze behind him, and without waiting for the other person to speak, he calmly said, This tenryubito, let me handle it, Princess Otohime. You are Otohime watched Rosss figure slightly. Ross is human. It can be seen at this moment, but Rosss figure made her a little familiar, but she could not think of this familiarity in this instant. She didnt know what Ross was going to do about tenryubito. When she was about to say something, the guards at the rear had already rushed up and blocked her behind. It is impossible for them to let the Princess continue to take risks You, you are humanyou lowlife worm, what did you just say Mjosgard was shocked by the sudden appearance of Ross. In response, he also found that Ross was human. When he thought of what Ross had just said, he immediately showed a trace of anger. He is a World Noble tenryubito and this human being dares to say that he is garbage! His anger was overwhelming. He raised his gun and tried to fire it at Ross, but before he could take aim at Ross, there was a sound of pulling the trigger. Can I kill him? Captain. Laffitte appeared next to Mjosgard with a strange and sinister smile on his face, holding a gun in his hand. The guns muzzle rested on Mjosgards head. It was the first time since he was born that Mjosgard had a gun pointed at his head. Youyou His eyes showed fear again. He thought Ross, a human being, would not dare to resist him. He did not expect him to be madder than those Fish-man, He directly pulled a gun on his head. Kill me, dont Dont kid me. Im Tenryubito. How dare you Do you know a Saint Charles? Ross stood there, looking down at Mjosgard and interrupting his words with a trace of horror and disbelief. Mjosgard coughed violently, and his eyelids began to faint because of serious injuries. Cha Saint Charles? Well, I killed him. Rosss calmly said. Mjosgards expression was instantly solidified on his face. His eyes showed a trace of horror and incredulity. Naturally, he could not believe Rosss words, but someone dared to say that he killed a tenryubito, which was already enough to categorize his as a lawless madman! Panic filled his whole body, and with serious injuries, he was finally and completely unconscious and he fell to the ground. Laffitte still pointed his gun to Mjosgard, waiting for Rosss order. Ross looked at Mjosgard, who had fallen unconscious, and was about to wave at Laffitte, but he thought about something and changed his mind after a little thought. Take him back and let Law give him a little treatment. He may come in handy. He has already killed one Tenryubito and it will require a little effort to kill another. Its better to keep one alive. Among Laws Surgeon Fruit abilities, one is called mind-exchange surgery, which allows two people to exchange their bodies, or their minds and hearts. In a sense, this ability is actually a kind of old surgery, but it needs to be replaced and the cost is too great. Law doesnt have the ability to do a heart-exchanging surgery, but if he continues to exercise, he will be able to comprehend it sooner or later. At that time, the tenryubito may be of some use. Death in some places Its much more meaningful than dying on the fish-man island. CHAPTER 157 INVITATION AND REJECTION Wait, where are you going to take him? Princess Otohime looked at Laffitte, who was taking the tenryubito away and couldnt help but ask, she didnt hear what Ross said to Laffitte because Ross used the sound Distortion, only Laffitte could hear it. Somewhere where he truly belongs. Ross turned to Otohime and smiled gently. This is not the place to talk. If you can, can you take me to the Dragon Palace? Otohime had known about Tenryubitos gun before and she guessed Ross had saved her. When she heard Rosss words, she looked at the crowds of fish-men around her and finally nodded slowly. At that moment, Jinbe finally remembered Rosss identity and looked at Ross with a look of surprise in his eyes and said, Your Highness, hes the Captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates, Ghost Hand Ross! Rosss killing of Tenryubito and Intelligence of the fierce battle between him and Marine Admiral has not yet been delivered to the Fishman Island and his impression of Ross remains on the pirate with a bounty of 440 million Berries. But even a pirate with a bounty of 440 million Berries is a terrible figure. The Sand Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, died by Rosss hands. I already know. Otohime nodded slowly. She thought of Rosss identity faster than Jinbe, but she did not break it. On one hand, she did not discriminate against pirates and on the other hand, Ross had just stopped Tenryubitos gun for her. Jinbe also knows that this is not a place to talk. Although Ross is a dangerous person, he cant make any conflicts here anymore. Otherwise, so many people, even the princess, are here. He has no confidence to protect so many people while fighting Ross. Everyone scatters, Thats the end of tenryubitos story. No one should pass it on. Jinbe stared at Ross for a moment, took a deep breath and opened his mouth to tell the nearby fish-men and mermaids. His prestige was still very high among them. The nearby fish-men and mermaids nodded in succession. But Ross, just in case, let Laffitte hypnotize the people here and let them forget what happened before. Only a few people, such as Jinbe and Otohime, were unaffected by hypnosis. Treat Her Royal Highness as soon as possible! The medical team came quickly and put Otohime on the stretcher and quickly dealt with the wound on her shoulder. At this time, Princess Shirahoshi, Megalo, and other princes also ran over, surrounded by medical teams, heading for the direction of the Dragon Palace. Megalo, Shirahoshi Im fine. Otohime smiled at Megalo and Shirahoshi and others and made herself look as if she was doing nothing, signaling them not to worry, while looking at Ross not far away and saying, You must thank him. Compared to the back scene that happened behind Otohime, Megalo, Shirahoshi, and others have seen the scenes of Ross more clearly. Although Ross is a human being, they still feel very grateful. Ah Arigato(Thank You), Ross Sama In Shirahoshis big eyes, there seems to be a trace of tears that have not been wiped off. Because of Rosss appearance, this time she did not wake Sea Kings ability and did not call the Sea Kings. Ross slightly smiled at Shirahoshi who is much bigger then him at only six years of age. Otohime is thinner than him. It is hard to believe that they are mother and daughter. Isnt Neptune having an affair? Ross thought of something wicked in his heart. That is, the Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi. Robin came to Ross next to Shirahoshi and others who were walking in front of Otohime and put her fingers on her chin, revealing a touch of thought. The legendary ancient weapon, Sea King Poseidon. Um. Ross nodded and said with a Distorted voice: I stopped her awakening, if this power got awakened in publics eye, we would have to trouble Laffitte to do group hypnosis, but as a mermaid Princess, She will awaken this power sooner or later. Robins eyes flickered slightly, wondering what to think of, and finally gave a light sigh. What happened in that Void Century? Why did it leave behind the Poneglyph stone tablet? Why did it leave behind the ancient weapons that could destroy the world? What did the World Government want to cover up? Everything was a huge mystery in her mind. However. After becoming a crew member of the Ghost Hand Pirates and all the way to here, the distance to truly open this mystery is no longer a distant distance to reach! Dragon Palace. When Otohime returned to the Dragon Palace City, she was immediately taken to the medical room for treatment and Ross came to the front hall. The entire hall was so magnificent that even many palaces in the human world were far less brilliant than here. Large pearls, corals and other things that are extremely precious to human beings can be seen everywhere in Dragon Palace. There are so many treasures hidden in the seafloor. At this time, Ross is sitting on a chair and in front of him is Knight of the Sea (Kaiky) Jinbe. In general, Jinbe will not enter the Dragon Palace, but a dangerous character Ross has come in so he must also follow up. Shichibukai, Knight of the Sea (Kaiky) Jinbe After Ross enjoyed the view of the Dragon Palace, his eyes returned to Jinbe and there was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes. If he had met Jinbe earlier, he might have thought about Jinbe, Shichibukai, but now he has killed two people Crocodile and Gekko Moria and Doflamingo will sooner or later die by his hands. In the case of continuous decline, the significance of killing Jinbe is very low. In contrast, it is more important to hold the fish man island in hand. Thank you for saving Her Royal Highness Nevertheless, I dont know what you want to do, but I hope you dont mess around here, otherwise, this old man will stop you. Jinbe looked at Ross with a solemn look. Ross came to Dragon Palace as a pirate and it is natural that he would have the worst intentions. If he was at sea, he had absolute confidence to fight Ross, but on land, he was not absolutely sure of winning over a pirate with a bounty of 440 million Berries. Dont be so hostile. Ross looked at Jinbe and said, What would you say if I asked you to give up your Shichibukai position and asked you to join the Ghost Hand Pirates? Jinbe shook his head and refused, Im sorry that I cant join you. Although you are kind to Her Royal Highness, I still need Shichibukais identity to protect the safety of the Fishman island. Thats a pity. Ross leaned gently against the back of the chair and looked up at the ceiling covered with shells and pearls. In the past, he had been faced with various threats and had no time to think about the direction of the future, but now that he had the strength to defend himself under Marine Admiral, his mentality had changed. What is his ultimate goal? Yonk (Four Emperors)? Pirate king? No None of them. Since killing a tenryubito on Sabaody Archipelago, Ross has had the intention of replacing the World Government. Although it is more difficult than defeating all Yonko(Four Emperors) and becoming the King of Pirate, it is not absolutely impossible for him to do with the advantages of the Talent System. If one day, he really defeated Marine and defeated the World Government, then the Ghost Hand Pirates would remove their Pirates name and become the new ruler of this world and all the main members on his ship would become one of the rulers. Like the 20 Kings who founded the government eight hundred years ago. Naturally. He will not say these words, because so far it is only a possibility, and the preliminary plan has just begun. CHAPTER 158 SEVERE WARNING Robin did not follow them to the Dragon Palace, but in accordance with the instructions of Ross, she went to find the Poneglyph stone monument of the Fishman Island and Law and Laffitte did not come, so there is only Ross in the main hall. Not long after, a male mermaid wearing a crown came in. His Highness Neptune. When Jinbe saw the other party come in, he immediately saluted him. Although he was Seven Warlords of the Sea and the leader of the Fishman Island today, he was still very respectful to the Royal family. You dont need to be so formal, Jinbe. Neptune looked at Jinbe with a laugh and said, You havent been to Dragon Palace for a long time. As he said, he turned to look at Ross and said: Thank you Lord Ross for saving Otohime, I have already made people prepare a banquet, please be sure to accept my thanks. It was nothing, how is his Highness Otohime? Ross asked Neptune. Neptune laughed and said, Its nothing serious, but she was rushing out to find you and was stopped by me. Shell come back later. She is injured, she needs to rest. Ill stay in the Dragon Palace for a while. By the way, the tea here is very good. Ross said with a slight smile. Jinbe saw Ross come to Dragon Palace and nothing happened. Neptune appeared very calm and his heart gradually eased down. However, he still does not trust that Ross who is staying in the Dragon Palace, so he requests Neptune to stay in the Dragon Palace, and Neptune naturally agreed. A few days later. In the huge garden of Dragon Palace, Princess Shirahoshi, a six-year-old mermaid, is sitting on a lawn next to the Poneglyph stone that has been found and moved here by Robin. Although Robin prefers things like Cerberus in the Florian Triangle sea, but Shirahoshis appearance is still very easy to the eyes, plus she is the body of the ancient weapon Sea King Poseidon so Robin keeps close contact with her and Shirahoshi soon started calling her Sister Robin. On the other side. The princess, Otohime, was wearing a bandage on her shoulder and she looked almost recovered. Two days ago, she learned the news from Sabaody Archipelago. Ross has killed a tenryubito and left in a fierce battle with Marine Admiral. Her heart was shocked. Not only she, but Neptune and Jinbe were also shocked. It was unexpected that Ross had made such a big event! That tenryubito, are you going to kill him, too? Doing so will only incessantly infuriate the World Government, and it doesnt make any sense Otohime tried to persuade Ross. Ross calmly responded: I dont intend to kill him now, but to make the World Government angry, thats the point in itself. How can it be said that it doesnt make sense? Otohimes tone of voice was stagnant as Rosss attitude was more than that of the fish-men in the Sun Pirates. She could not help but show a complicated look and did not know how to persuade him anymore. Just then Ross turned to her and said, Youre going to save Tenryubito and get a vote from him for the migration of the fish-men to shore. Ugh? Otohime was shocked as her intentions were completely exposed to Ross. She was trying to retort a little. Not only did she was unable to persuade him, but she heard Rosss voice suddenly become a little solemn. Ross stared at her and said calmly and profoundly, Dont think too much about equality, Otohime. Even if you get the signature of a tenryubito and the consent of all the fish-men, can you guarantee that the human attitude towards the fish-men and mermaids will be the same as yours? This Otohime is stunned. Ross continued in a cold voice: Dont say anything like You believe that humans and fish-men can understand each other. Before you have absolute strength to ensure the safety of your people, letting them go ashore is tantamount to burying the whole Fishman Island! Otohime fell into silence, Rosss words pierced her heart sharply, like a slap in the face, piercing the part she had been reluctant to think about. Yes. Even if fish-man and mermaids can accept peaceful coexistence with human beings, can humans do it? Maybe, but she cant guarantee it and that will be danf=gerous for her people. In Rosss previous words, thinking of Equality and Coexistence is too much. But your Fishman Island is not completely powerless, Jinbes strength neednt say much, Shirahoshis ability is also extraordinary. Rosss words slowed down as he turned to look at Shirahoshi and Megalo playing with Robin in the distance with a faint smile. Shirahoshi? When Otohime heard Rosss words, she slightly startled. Ross mentioned Jinbes strength and Its easy to understand. After all, he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. But Shirahoshis ability made her think she had heard something wrong. What ability can a six-year-old Mermaid Princess have? Ross does not intend to hide anything from Otohime as Shirahoshis ability will awaken sooner or later. Instead of exposing her to an unconscious awakening, it is better to let Otohime shelter Shirahoshi in advance. The Fishman island should have had a legend, there will be a princess who will be born here once in a while who would have the power to communicate and command every Sea King in the sea Ross said, pausing for a moment and in Otohimes astonished eyes, he said gently, Yes, Shirahoshi is that princess. !!! Otohime looked a little shocked and incredible at Shirahoshi in the distance. She could not believe Rosss words, but Ross obviously had no need to deceive her. But Shirahoshi, she Before, when you were in danger, her ability almost immediately awakened, but I stopped it. Its better not to expose it. Ross interrupted Otohime, turned to her and said, How to protect Shirahoshi? I dont need to say much about it. You know the meaning of that power very well. Otohimes forehead overflowed with a trace of perspiration. She glanced at Shirahoshi deeply and nodded slowly. So instead of collecting meaningless signatures, its your responsibility to protect Shirahoshi, because its not just about the safety of Fishman Island, its about the whole world. Ross slowly told Otohime. He didnt say anything and later overthrew the empty words of World Government to the status of the Fishmans Island. Although his current identity enables him to say such things, it is not necessary. He just needed to wake Otohime up and tell her Shirahoshis ability, and she will know what she should do. She was blinded by her kindness and peaceful coexistence. As for whether he will use the power of Shirahoshi in the future, it is not within his consideration. That is the future, at least not until he becomes a Yonk (Four Emperors). CHAPTER 159 BLUSTERY After waking up Otohime, Ross turned and walked in the direction of Shirahoshi and Robin. At this moment, Robin has sprouted a lot of arms scratching Shirahoshi and letting her keep rolling. Good Its itchy, Sister Robin. Stop it Shirahoshis tail kept shaking and tears seemed to be coming out of her big budding eyes. Robin smiled and lowered her arms. It was at this time that Ross came over. Ross Sama. Shirahoshi saw Ross and immediately greeted in a respectful and soft voice. Ross looked at Shirahoshi and smiled, then nodded lightly at Robin, indicating that there was nothing wrong with Otohime. Seeing Rosss friendly attitude, Shirahoshi gradually abandoned her timidity and asked Ross as innocently as a child could, Sir Ross, Sister Robin said that there are forests on land and there are real sky and sun. Is it true? I really want to go up and see it. Its true. Ross smiled and said meaningfully, When you get older, I will take you to the land to play. You are too young to leave home for now. Shirahoshi listened and the little child thought it was reasonable and nodded his head hard. Well, um! Thats a promise. Ross had an innocent smile on his face and extended his little finger at Shirahoshi. Shirahoshi also gladly reached out her little hand and touched Ross with her little thumb. After signing the abduction agreement with Shirahoshi, Ross turned around again and looked at Otohime, the princess who was coming towards them. If theres anything that cant be handled and is related to Shirahoshi. If its inconvenient to inform Whitebear Pirates, please let me know at any time. Are you leaving? Otohime nodded accepting his future help and also captured Rosss tone of separation. Ross gently smiled and looked up at the sky above the Fishman island, with a deep look in his eyes. This time, when they set out again, they would arrive at the second half of the Grand Line, which is also the main battlefield New World! After saying goodbye to Otohime, Shirahoshi, and others, Ross and Robin left Dragon Palace and went all the way to the place where their ship was docked. At this point. The guards of the Fishman Island have assisted Laffitte and others by sending the supplies to the ship and they have already coated the ship. Coating the ship on land is difficult and expensive, but the machine that produces bubbles in the Fishmans island can make a huge bubble that wraps a ship at once, so the coating becomes very simple. The coated ship slowly sailed away from Fishman Island. With the wall of the Distortion to control sailing on the seabed, although he can use the Distortion Fruit to move it at once and take complete control of it, but the consumption of stamina is too big, the next place they will arrive is New World, no one knows what will happen, so he naturally has to save his stamina to deal with all possible things. Great Age of Pirates, 15th years. New World. The Ghost Hand Pirates Captain Ghost Hand Ross with a bounty of 1 Billion Berries, This news has quickly spread throughout the New World and also fell into the hands of Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates and various forces. In the first half of the Grand Line, Someone who could receive a bounty of 1 Billion berries has never appeared before. It can be said that since the opening of the Great Age of Pirates, even in the history of the past, there has never been anyone with that high a bounty in the first half of the Grand Line! 1 Billion! Even the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates who sits above all, Who regards the first half of the Grand Line as Paradise and the latter half as their own playground, cant help but look at Rosss bounty poster. One billion Berries, well, there is a little devil coming this way, but dont provoke me. Yonk (Four Emperors) BIGMOM looked at the one billion bounty poster, opened her mouth and smiled and then she threw the bounty order aside, picked up the cake on the table and ate it. Everyone in New Worlds environment knows that it is extremely difficult to survive in the cracks left behind by Yonk (Four Emperors) pirates and someone who acquired a Billion bounty on his head in the first half of the Grand Line will never live in the cracks(Territories not under Yonko). And he will definitely challenge a Yonk (Four Emperors)! However. As one of the Yonk (Four Emperors), she has encountered too many challenges. Most of the challengers cant even see her face, because they couldnt get past her generals. As Emperors, there is their pride. The name of Yonk (Four Emperors) is never self-proclaimed. Every one of the Yonk (Four Emperors) has experienced countless Battles and accumulated numerous bones under his feet. These bones form the throne of the Emperor. They never fear the challenge of the latecomers, they only sit on the throne, watching the latecomers walk hard to them and lose before their desperate power. One billion Berries Another Yonk (Four Emperors), Hundred Beast Kaido, did not give much comment. He took a sip of wine and threw the bounty order aside, grinning. If you are courageous, then come and challenge me! Over the years, No one has appeared that made him excited for a fight. He just goes ahead and picks fights with Yonk (Four Emperors) or sometimes a group of Marines, which can make him a little excited. He has already reached this level. Somewhere along the coast, Red Hair Shanks holds Rosss bounty poster, his eyes twinkling and murmuring, while Beckman flips through the newspaper, smoking a cigarette. Beckman suddenly smiled and said: Your hunch is quite accurate, Shanks. With the corner of his eye, he looked at the text in the newspaper and the photograph of Ross. His eyes were deep and he said, This fellow, He is really going to see us again. Moby Dick. Whitebeard, still at his peak, was sitting on the deck, drinking, looking at the newspaper in his hand and the bounty poster clipped to it. Gura ra ra ra, there comes another little demon. He had a slight impression of Ross, but the impression remained that when a particular newspaper shocked the world, many people felt that the ghost-hand Pirates would be quickly wiped out by the furious government and Marine. But the result is that in a blink of an eye, the Ghost Hand Pirates has grown to this point and it is enough to enter his eyes. I heard these guys like to hunt pirates. They are pirates for the purpose of hunting pirates. First Division Captain Marco stood next to Whitebeard with his head tilted to its side. The Third Division Captain Diamond Jozu sat down and grinned. They wouldnt come for us. In this sea, everyone knows what will happen if you mess with us. Thats right. Marco smiled. Whitebeard glanced at Marco and Jozu, raised his hand and threw the newspaper and the bounty order in his hand into the sea. CHAPTER 160 SEA KINGS Seabed. How is that tenryubito? Ross took back his eyes from Fishman Island, which was gradually fading away and asked for Law. Law leaned against the side of the bulkhead and said with a slightly deep look, He wont die, but that guys last name Its Donquixote! Donquixote, Mjosgard! The same surname as Doflamingo, obviously his identity belongs under the Donquixote Family. For 800 years, Tenryubito is not a single entity, but a huge group. Doflamingo belongs to one of the Donquixote family. Oh? His last name is Donquixote? Rosss eyes also flashed with light. He didnt expect the tenryubito caught in the Fishmans Island and the Doflamingo family to have a cousin. After his eyes glittered slightly, he calmly said, Youre not mistaken. Doflamingo used to be a member of tenryubito, but he lost his tenryubito identity because of some things. Why is Doflamingo able to spread the dark trade all over the world? His strength is far less than that of Yonk (Four Emperors) and his power is far less than that of Yonk (Four Emperors), but the trading network in the dark world is the core of the whole world. One of the reasons is that his original tenryubito identity! Although this identity has lost its privilege, he is still a tenryubito. With the identity of a tenryubito, he can do too many things, not to mention that Doflamingo knows a lot about the secrets of tenryubito and Holy Land, which are enough to shake the world. Tenryubito Its more trouble than I thought. Law also knows exactly what Tenryubitos identity stands for. He knows that when he arrives at New World, the first thing he has to deal with is Doflamingo. He originally thought that Doflamingo was just an ordinary Shichibukai, but after boarding Rosss ship, he was constantly exposed to the secret intelligence about Doflamingo, which made him gradually realize that Doflamingo was not a very easy existence to deal with. It involves a lot! Dont worry, my promise to you will stand regardless of his identity. Ross calmly told Law after seeing his face. He didnt care about justice and didnt care about evil, but he would do it for the agreement he had agreed to. This is his guideline. Law looked at Ross and took a deep breath, slowly saying: Thank you. The ship gradually left the Fishman Island, slowly passed through the hole at the bottom of Red Line under Ross and Laffittes control, and finally came to the sea on the other side. As the ship floated up, a huge whirlpool of white snake-like currents suddenly appeared on the dark seafloor, winding and leading to an unknown end. Its a whirlpool! Be careful. Laffitte immediately warned, and Ross calmly controlled the ships rapid ascent, bypassing the eddy current with the help of Distortion. Although he has enough strength now, it is still difficult to fight against this level of natural power. After all, it is the bottom of the sea. After bypassing the whirlpool current, the ship did not encounter any more crisis and went up smoothly. Robin took a shower while the ship was moving up and Ross went into the bathroom to wash as well. Crash! The ship finally rushed out of the sea and came to a hail-covered sea. At the same time, the bubble-wrapped around the hull quietly broke and disappeared at that moment. The hail was raining all over the sky and crashing into the hull. Law and Laffitte fought back, and Ross came out in a white overcoat. Buzz!! With the power of distortion swinging, large fist-sized hailstones were fixed in mid-air, sliding along both sides of the hull and eventually falling into the sea. This is the New World. With Ross sheltering the hull, Laffitte also made room to view sea maps and High-Level Log Pose on his wrist. However, It is difficult to judge the sea here and their location is undetermined, although there are three arrows on the Log Pose, it is difficult to know which islands they are pointing to and it is necessary to arrive at one of them first before determining their location. Very soon. Laffitte decided on the direction and sailed to the island where Pose was the most stable. The Ghost-Hand Pirates are all calm individuals, They are not impulsive like Straw-Hat Pirates, They naturally wont go away with Poses weird Island. Crack! Crack! Crack! As the ship continued to sail, the hail began to grow bigger and bigger, and even hail the size of a human head appeared, which was enough to break through the hull in an instant, but all were blocked by Ross. It was a correct decision not to use the power of distortion to bring the ship from the bottom of the sea. No one knew how long it took but the ship finally broke out of the hail-covered sea and came to a place that looked very calm, no matter the wind speed or the current, it did not seem unusual. It seems to be safe for the time being. Ross slowly lowered his arm and the wall of the Distortion that sheltered the hull was taken back by him. But. Almost immediately after Rosss voice fell, a sound suddenly came from under the hull. The whole ship flew up abruptly, rose suddenly, and came to the sky tens of meters away from the sea, and tilted over. Hmm?! Law and Laffitte and others were shocked and quickly pulled the things around them to stabilize their bodies. Robin was also surprised and unsteady and fell in the direction of Ross. Ross calmly reached out and took Robin in his arms, but instead of looking at her, he looked down at the bottom of the ship with a sharp look in his eyes. Sea Kings! Laffittes gaze was fixed on the sea below. Just coming out of the hail sea, They entered the sea where such large Sea King exists and this is not even the Calm Belt. Sure enough, New Worlds sea is messy, the first half is a paradise compared to here! Hiss! An extremely harsh humming sound came from under the hull that left Laffitte, Law, and others eardrums Buzzed. Rosss eyes twinkled and the power of Distortions voice came out, dispersing the sound near him and Robin and he released Robin and flew to the side of the ship. Now. The whole ship was crowned in mid-air by the head of a giant Sea King with a body of thousands of meters in length. The ship was like a snack in front of the Sea King. At this time, the Sea King also found the ship on top of his head. The humming sound came because of this. A pair of huge eyes, the pupil was transferred to the top of the head. It suddenly shook his head and threw the ship up and whipped its tail. What is the concept of the power of the tail of a sea king which is thousands of meter long? It is sufficient to destroy a street in an instant! Humph! Ross snorted and waved his arm and the power of distortion came out and the hull was lifted. At the same time, He punched the huge tail that was slamming towards him. CHAPTER 161 *HIDDEN* Bang! After a slight standstill, Rosss power of distortion finally gained the upper hand, smashing the tail down into the sea and causing it to bleed. The Sea King suffered a big loss, but instead of fighting with Ross in fury, it hissed with great wisdom and went to the bottom of the sea and disappeared. Whiz! Ross fell back on the ship, controlling the ship to fall back to the surface. Leave this sea as soon as possible. I can still deal with this kind of Sea Kings. If we encounter one a few times larger, it will be very troublesome. Ross spoke quietly to Laffitte. He spent a lot of stamina in the hailstorm sea and now if he took the ship to the sky and sailed away from the sea, he might be too consumed to control what happened next. Laffitte nodded, he also knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately informed Robin and Law to turn the rudder and headed for the island that was previously planned. Like Calm Belt, this sea seems to be a paradise for the Sea Kings. From time to time, they can see a huge wave rising on the sea, which is a giant sea King turning over. Underneath the ocean floor, there are huge black shadows, which make people astonished from time to time. If only Shirahoshi was here. Ross completely utilized his Observation Haki and is ready to take the ship to the sky at any moment. At this time, he thinks of Shirahoshi and cant help but shake his head. After another period of sailing, a slightly blurred shadow appeared in the sea on the left side of the route, and some unstable waves appeared on the sea surface. Sea Kings No, there seems to be a ship Laffitte stared at the sea over there, his eyes flashing with surprise. He could not help but take out his telescope and look at the distance over there, which was even more surprising. Whats wrong? Law asked Laffitte. Laffittes eyes twinkled as he said: Someone is fighting a Sea King, but calling them people would be wrong, they are a little big, they should belong to the Giant race. Their ship is like a snack to the Sea King, which is about a kilometer in shape. It can be seen on the left side of the black hull, but it has a length of hundreds of meters, close to the medium-sized Sea King. Giant? Sea King? When Ross heard Laffittes words, his eyes flashed a strange color. After a little thought, his eyes flashed and he said, Put the ship over and see whats going on over there. All right. Laffitte nodded and changed the course and sailed in the direction of the shadow. Although it is very dangerous to stay in this sea, Ross can fly to the sky with his ship at any time, even in the case of the particularly troublesome Sea King, it is always safe. Very soon. The shadows became clearer and clearer as a medium-sized Sea King, about 300-400 meters in size was fighting against five giants on board a ship. To be exact, the giants accidentally drove their ship into the sea and suffered attacks from the Sea King. Fortunately, the Sea King is not a large Sea King. Moreover, they are all giants and they have good strength and can fight against it. However. Its just a reluctant confrontation. The giants are all over 20 meters tall, but there is still a big gap between them and the medium-sized Sea King. Even though they are giant fighters with great strength, they can only fight defensively. Hajrudin, thats not the way to go. We have to get out of here as soon as possible. The New Giants-Pirates navigator Road attacked with his knife and cut a bloody hole in the skin of the Sea King and shouted at his Captain Hajrudin next to him. Shipwright Stansen knocked on the Sea Kings head with a giant club, but he was thrown back by the vibrations and fell into the distant sea. Damn Road, Why did you bring our ship to this ghastly place! Although the Giants are brave and like fights, they are not likely to die with an apparently unstoppable Sea King but they will be defeated. Besides, this is the sea. In case the ship is damaged, a few of them will be in trouble. But. Even if they wanted to go, the Sea King had been provoked and it was attacking constantly, defeating their attacks and then pulling out its tail in an attempt to destroy their ship. Hajrudin roared and punched, blocking the Sea Kings tail. His strength was the strongest of all, and he could still fight a little. However. The Sea King is a monster with two tails. The first tail was blocked by Hajrudin, while the second tail fell beside Hajrudin and hit the ship. This is Bad! Hurry up! When the giants saw this, they were in a panic and tried to rush up to resist it, but it was too late. If the ship was destroyed, they would have to wonder with the wood in their arms. At this critical moment, a strange force burst out from a distance, making the surrounding air present a strange Distortion shape turning it into the shape of a fist, with tens of meters of huge air fist ruthlessly slammed on the tail of the Sea King. Bang! This Sea King is obviously far smaller than the one Ross encountered before. Even if Ross hits it from a long distance away, it still caused cracks in the skin of the Sea King and blood was spilled. Roar! The Sea King, whose tail was hit hard, finally went a little crazy under the severe pain. Its other tail rolled violently and caught Hajrudin as it opened its terrible mouth and swallowed Hajrudin in one gulp. Hajrudin struggled to break free of the tail, but he was in mid-air and there was no way out of it. He fell into the mouth of the Sea King and was about to be shattered by the terrible teeth. And just then. A black shadow suddenly flashed past, leaving a remnant in the air at a very fast speed. It flashed like a sword in front of the head of the Sea King. Buzz!! With a sword wrapped in the power of distortion, the Sea Kings head was cut in unimpeded. With some shocking gaze from Hajrudin and others, the Sea King, which was hundreds of meters in shape, was cut in half stiffly from the middle. Strangely, there was no blood on the incision, but it was so smooth that it did not look like it had been cut by a sword, but rather like a mass of rubber mud twisted into two sections from the middle. There seems to be something wrong with your route, Giants. Ross floated in mid-air and looked at Hajrudin, who had fallen into the sea and splashed a wave and three other men and one woman, five giants in all. Speaking of this, the female giant is quite beautiful, just like the enlarged version of Nami and because of her larger size, Ross can see a lot of things from his point of view. If he remembers it correctly, these five people should be members of the Hajrudin Giant Pirates who have appeared in Dressrosa. Chapter 161 Giants CHAPTER 162 GATHERING Hmm Looking at the Sea King which was struggling after being split into two before stopping, Hajrudin wiped his face with seawater. After a moment of silence, he looked at Ross floating in the sky. Thank you for your assistance. The other giants also reacted and did not climb towards their ship but they smiled innocently and kindly, with undisguised gratitude in their eyes. If not for Ross, they would at least lose the ship, even suffer serious injuries, and die at sea. Ross is a benefactor to the giants. Youre welcome. Ross slightly smiled with an indescribable look in his deep eyes. He knows Hajrudin and several other giants, presumably, they are the five-man group of Pirates, the New Giant Pirates that Hajrudin has formed. Compared with humans, the lifespan of giants is much longer, reaching hundreds of years and their character is really frank and militant. Almost every one of them is a fighter. Soon. Hajrudin and others climbed back onto the ship and Ross and Laffitte and others also came to the Giant Pirate Ship of Hajrudin. This is Shipwright Stansen, he is my idiot navigator Road, this one is our cook Goldberg and the beautiful ship doctor Gerth. Hajrudin introduced his crew and then went to Ross to perform a giant etiquette. My name is Hajrudin and I thank you for your help again. Call me Captain Ross, its okay, no need to thank you. Ross smiled as he preferred the frank and brave nature of the giant race to the intriguing and conspiratorial nature of the human race. The only pity is that the giants are so big that they are equal to moving targets in the eyes of the strong people. But if it can be changed a little, it will be totally different! Goldberg, the chef of the new giant Pirates, quickly produced barbecues and other dishes, as well as wines from his hometown Elbaf to entertain Ross and others. Although the meal is big and the portion is a little large, it tastes good. Hey, Did you just entered the New World, the Ghost Hand Pirates I seem to have heard of this name. Road seems to be a bit overwhelmed. After drinking a few bowls of wine, he is a little drunk. The beautiful ship doctor Gerth looked at Roads appearance and couldnt help but say: Idiot, Ghost Hand Pirates are the world-famous pirates, didnt you see the newspaper two days ago. Although they are giants, they can read newspapers or anything with the help of a magnifying glass. As she said, she looked at Ross with respect and said: Captain Rosss hanging bounty has already reached a billion Berries! They worshipped other Giant captains who had sailed the sea and bought glory to the race of giants and even those warriors had a bounty of only 100 million Berries. The formation of the New Giant Pirates is to reinvigorate the glory of the giants so that the name of the giant is once again spread throughout the world. Pooh! One Billion Berries?! Road sprayed a drink on Goldbergs face and he waked up from his slight drunkenness in an instant. He was now full of respect for Ross, who had defeated the Sea King in one move and now he has become somewhat revered character for him. The Giants are a race that is extremely advocating for strength. When Ross and Laffitte and others were in the fishermans island, they already knew the news of their new bounty so they showed no surprise. If you kill tenryubito and escape under the hands of a Marine Admiral, you will get a bounty of one billion berries. Captain Ross, Lets drink together! After wiping the wine from the angry Goldbergs face, Road lifted up a huge bowl, spoke to Ross in silence and poured it down in a murmur. Ross did not refuse. He picked up the small bowl he had brought from his boat and took a sip. Anyway Hajrudin picked up the wine bowl and looked at Ross. His aim is to restore the prestige of the giants. Ross is not only a benefactor who saved them, but he is also a powerful force with a bounty of one billion berries. If he joins the Ghost-Hand Pirates, he will soon be able to restore his prestige. As a giant, even if there is a possibility that Ross will reject, he will not hide his thoughts, but just when he intends to speak out, Ross suddenly opens his mouth. What are your plans for the next step? If you want to reinvigorate the power of the giant race, why not join us? I will make you into an invincible Giant Regiment. Ross has already seen Hajrudins thoughts. The giants are not good at concealing their emotions. They are almost always written on their faces. Treating the Giants is not the same as treating human beings. They dont need to maintain absolute prestige, So he will ask them first to join him. The Giants admire strength and grace and now they have the righteousness and strength. They dont need too much toss and even Laffittes hypnosis is not needed. Hajrudin didnt expect Ross to offer an invitation, which is totally different from his request for membership. It fully demonstrates the importance Ross attaches to them. Almost without thinking about it, he immediately carried the wine bowl and said: I am willing to join! Although we only have five people now, we are all the bravest fighters of Elbaf. Sooner or later, one day, we will be famous in the world! Gerth and Road and others showed their solemnity when they saw each other. They all held their bowls. Their attitudes were completely identical to their Captain Hajrudin. Rosss strength had completely conquered them. Ross puts the wine bowl in front of him and smiled slightly: Rest assured, that day will come soon when you are famous all over the world. As he spoke, Ross poured himself some wine and the spicy drink flowed all the way from his throat to his stomach, which seemed to ignite a bit of his blood. Hajrudin and others also drank the wine and officially joined the Ghost Hand Pirates as subordinates. Since you have become my subordinates, then Ross put down the wine bowl and reached out in his pocket to feel a delicate Devil Fruit with a seemingly sandy surface. Logia Sand Sand fruit! This is a Logia Devil Fruit, Sand Sand fruit, I think you should all know the power and value of a Logia Devil Fruit. Ross pinched the twig of the sand fruit and placed it in front of him, his eyes circumvented it, looking at Hajrudin and other Giants. Although there is only one Snd fruit right now, We will acquire other powerful Devil Fruits in the future, Five Giants with strong Devil Fruits, It will be enough to make the sea tremble. CHAPTER 163 SAND GIAN Looking at the fruit of sand in Rosss hands, Hajrudin and others showed some surprise. They didnt expect that Ross would give them a Logia Devil Fruit as soon as they joined. Logias Devil Fruit, they are naturally aware of their value and power! No We havent done anything for Captain yet. Instead, we were saved by Captain. Logia Devil Fruit is such a precious thing that you should use it. Hajrudin hesitated and didnt reach for it. Ross smiled and said: We are all Devil Fruit users and for those who joined us in the future, lets leave that to the future. Its better for one of you to use it or it will remain uselessly with me. As he said that, Ross placed the fruit of the Sand on the floor in front of them. The huge size of the Giants is the target, but if the Giants get the power of Logia, it will be completely different, turning into a real sand giant, a giant of sand! In the face of such power, the Vice Giant-Admiral of the Marine Headquarters is nothing. Perhaps an existence like Doflamingo can resist it, but the following characters hardly have the possibility of resisting this giant regiment! Whats more. Giants can also learn Armament Haki and Kenbonshoku (Observation)! By the way, Hajrudin, I dont recommend you to use this sand fruit, because there may be a stronger Devil Fruit, Naturally. Its up to you to choose it. Ross reminded Hajrudin. He once had the intention of developing a dual-Devil fruit body and holding both the ability of thunder and Distortion, but for him today, its not worth spending 5 Free Talent Points to acquire the dual-devil fruit ability. After eating the thunder devil fruit, his speed will at most reach the same level as Kizaru and in terms of a purely offensive force, it may not be comparable to his power of distortion and thunder fruit is not powerful at the start and it still requires time to develop. After recruiting Hajrudin and others, Ross had plans to build war weapons like Thunder Giant, Sand Giant, and Metal Giant! This Hajrudin carefully pinched the Sand Sand Fruit, which, although small enough for him to plug the gap of his teeth, it still gave him a very heavy feeling. This heavy feeling is called trust! Although he shouted to reinvigorate the power of the giants, Ross had no doubt that it was just a start-up dream and he then gave them such a precious Devil Fruit as Sand Sand Fruit to actually realize that dream. It was a kind of trust that could be appreciated! Finally. Hajrudins eyes were still shining and he bowed to Ross and said, Thank you, Captain Ross, for your trust. We the New Giant Pirates will never let you down! Ross smiled and said nothing. Laffitte, who sat next to him, looked at Hajrudin and other giants and then turned to Ross next to him, revealing a look of hypnosis is not needed at all. After deciding to accept the Sand Sand fruit, Hajrudin no longer hesitated. The character of the Giants has always been straight. After discussing with Gerth and others, he finally gave the Sand fruit to his navigator Road and Road became the giant of Sand. With that little fruit of sand in his eyes, Road opened his mouth and threw it into his mouth like a soybean. Gudu! The fruit of sand entered his stomach, and in a few seconds, a force surged through him, rapidly changing his body. His shoulders and hair, silently scattered into the sand and silently restored to its original state in the dust. My arm Road tried to stand up, but he accidentally turned his hands into sand that shattered and scattered around. He couldnt help exclaiming, but he quickly responded, which was due to his ability. As a giant warrior, his adaptability is good, and he quickly adapted to Sand Sand Fruits ability, and because he is a giant, the power of Sand Fruit is not towards the withering and withered but towards the pure power. With his original height of more than 20 meters, he has transformed into a huge sand figure of nearly 100 meters. The heavy strength contained under his one punch is enough to turn over the previous Sea King in an instant. Ross exchanged a punch with him and couldnt help but praise his power. Devil Fruit would not work if you are touched by seawater and it will be limited by Seastone. You should know all these points, Contact me on the Den Den Mushi and I will leave a Vivre Card, it is a little small for you so dont lose it. Ross organizes trivia for the New Giant Pirates. The Den Den Mushi of New Giants-Pirates is a really big Den Den Mushi, He doesnt know where they got such a giant snail came from but such a giant Den Den Mushi is a good thing. You can rest assured that if there is a Battle, you can call us at any time, we will be waiting for your orders! Hajrudin and others opened their eyes to Ross. The Giants never feared Battle, and now they would like to fight for Ross right away. Ross nodded and jumped back and returned to his ship. At this time. Both ships have left the Sea King infested sea and entered a relatively turbulent area. After Ross sorted out everything, he temporarily separated from the New Giant Pirates. He doesnt need their power yet and they are huge and too eye-catching. Looking at the ship of New Giant Pirates, which was gradually getting away from his eyes, Ross stood in front of the deck, his eyes flashed as he whispered: I need to return to the Sky Island and I need to tell CP9 to collect the intelligence on the Metal and Barries Devil Fruits. Just as Ross thought about it, the current at the bottom of the ship suddenly became ten times fierce, pushing the entire ship to accelerate rapidly and sail towards the distance. Ross looked back and frowned slightly. As he was trying to control the ships flight, Laffitte, standing at the top of the sentry post, suddenly lowered the telescope. Captain, there is an island in front! Ross heard Laffittes words and looked in the direction Laffitte looked at. As the current pushed the ship forward rapidly, a blurred shadow gradually appeared in that direction. But the current on the bottom of the ship was obviously not so obedient. As the shadow of the island became clear, a sudden sharp turn almost threw Robin and others out of the ship. Ross raised his foot and the power of distortion rushed out and covered the ship. Looking at the shadow of the island that has become clear, Ross said: Since we are already here, lets go. CHAPTER 164 *HIDDEN* Icefield Island, West Bank. Ross and his party docked here. The weather on the island was very strange. The sea was still full of a spring breeze, but there was vast white snow on the island. Once they stepped on it, they finally felt a cold. In the New World, Log Pose doesnt need that long to store magnetism. Most Islands take only half a day, but they still need to go to the island. New Worlds climate is more strange than the first half of the Grand Line. Robin breathed out the mist, put on a white coat and a thick velvet cap and followed Ross out of the ship. Its still Law that stayed on the ship and Ross, Robin, and Laffitte boarding the island. We will search the Island, if there is no Poneglyph stone or something of value, we will come to the ship after half a day. Ross also wore a brown fur coat, although his body was completely resistant to this cold, he did not want to make it too eye-catching. Laffitte nodded, after looking at the snow around with interest, he disappeared into the snow with his mahogany cane and he seemed to have some thoughts about the flying snow all over the sky. Ross and Robin went all the way and soon entered the island. The environment inside of the island is not the same as they imagined. It is not because of the cold and no one is going out. It is extremely lively. The people who live here are all muscular and strong and some people carry extremely thick logs on the street with one hand. Ross and Robin, even in their overcoats, were still slightly conspicuous among such crowds, so they moved a little closer to remote areas. Rosss eyes flickered slightly as they went deep into City town. He hadnt noticed before that there was a flag covered with ice and snow hanging over the city building in the center, the winter wind blew down the ice and snow on that flag and revealed the pattern behind it. Its a weird design like a bulls skull, but in this world, its almost a banner that everyone knows, because it represents one of the Yonk (Four Emperors)! Beast Pirate Domain Ross stared at Citytown and muttered, but still did not stop and continued to move and explore the island, even if it was the domain of the Beast Pirates, he will still explore the Island. If there is anything good, then he will rob it, what about Yonk (Four Emperors)? Compared to the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, the Beast Pirates is a lot worse. Ross and Robin hid in the remote streets and soon explored the small town. Although it was small, it had a large population and the island produced a special kind of Icestone with high value, so there was a lot of wealth on the island. But now Ross is not interested in money. On a snow-covered hillside, Robin reached out and gently pulled the snow from a crack, looking at the layers of stone in the crack, thinking about something. This island should have been formed in the last few hundred years, and it does not seem to have been formed naturally, but because of some force Really? Ross was slightly surprised. He didnt doubt Robins words. Robin is an authentic archaeologist, but he couldnt imagine any power that can create an island. This kind of power is very different. There is only one small town, but the island is a medium-sized island, at least for the time being, he cant make such an island. While Robin was thinking, The Den Den Mushi on Ross suddenly sounded and when he answered it, Laffittes voice came from the other side. Captain, I found the ship of the Beast Pirates. Ohh? What direction? Ross heard the words, his eyes slightly condensed as he asked. Laffitte was hiding in the snow at this time. The white cloak on him and the ice and snow were almost integrated. He couldnt see where he was. He looked at the ship of the Beast Pirates, which was docked at the shore while facing the Den Den Mushi. This is the east port. Got it. Ross nodded and hung up the Den Den Mushi. His original careless attitude has already become serious and his laziness has faded. He rushed towards Robin and said: Lets go to the East Coast port. Since he has encountered the ship of the Beast Pirates, how can he not take a look? If he encounters Hundred Beast Kaido, he will turn around and leave, but if its any other, Their high bounties would be beneficial to him and he may even get somr=e good treasures Ross slightly opened his mouth. Many of the worlds forces have defined the Ghost Hand Pirates as the mad Pirates and defined him as a madman who doesnt know what to fear. Since everyone is already calling him a madman, Then looking for trouble with a Yonk (Four Emperors) must be a reasonable thing. Both the government and Marine are anxious to immediately arrest him and put him in Impel Down, so if he adds Hundred Beast Kaido to the list of people who want him dead or imprisoned, then it really doesnt matter to him. Icefield Island, East coast. Keith, one of the subordinates of the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates was putting his hands on his chest and standing in the snow not far from the shore, watching people on the Icefield Island bring boxes of treasure. Icestone is a very valuable thing and this island has a natural Icestone mineral deposit vein, So naturally it will cause the greed of millions of people, but this is the territory of the Beast Pirates and no one dares to seize or do anything here and as a condition for this protection, the people of this Island need to pay tribute to the Beast Pirates every six months. Although the amount of tribute is very large, It is still better compared to the situation where they will be madly robbed and killed by various pirate forces, So it is natural that they will pay tribute to the Beast Pirates to avoid the situation where they all get killed and robbed. Its a little less money this time. Keith, bare-shouldered and showing his strong brown muscles, walked slowly to several boxes, opened them, counted them and asked casually. The nearby Icefield town leader scratched his back awkwardly and said, Im sorry, Lord Keith. Icestone sales have been poor for some time recently All right. Keith interrupted him and said impatiently, I dont need to here these messy stories, I know, but if you dare to deceive us, you know what will happen! I wouldnt dare. The Leader of Icefield Town bowed his head in fear. In this sea, the Beast Pirates are the pirates that cant be provoked, because of their Captain Hundred Beast Kaido of the Beast Pirates is a madman who has no fear of anything and he is virtually immortal! Maybe if you provoked Whitebeard, Akagami (Red Hair), and hid in the first half of the Grand Line or somewhere else, they wouldnt bother to pay attention to you, but if you provoked Kaido, even if they hid in the Marine Headquarters, Kaido would rush into the Marine Headquarters like a madman! So far, Kaido has done countless crazy things, but no matter whether it was Marines or other Yonk (Four Emperors), no one was able to kill him. The madman who cant be provoked! This is the definition given to the Hundred Beast Kaido and the Beast Pirates by the major forces at the sea. Chapter 164 Beast Pirates CHAPTER 165 FEARLESS While Keith was leading his men to check the money from the Icefield Town, Ross and Robin were standing in a direction not far away and the light shifted and distorted around them and the light in the area around 100 meters of them distorted and nobody noticed them. That isOne of the Elite pirate from the Beast Pirates Silver Ape Keith with a bounty of 350 million Berries. Robin looked at Keith, who was more than three meters tall and she recognized him. Any of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates is basically composed of High-Level Pirates, Elite pirates and a large number of lower-level members. High-Level pirates in Whitebeard Pirates are Captain class pirates in the top ranking, Three Disasters in the Beast Pirates and four generals in BIGMOM Pirates, offering a bounty of almost 800berries. As for the Elite pirates below them, Their bounty varies, generally, from 200 million to 600 million berries, Any pirate with a bounty of less than 200 million berries are small captain or lower-level members, Pirates with less than 100 million berries bounty belong to the bottom. Naturally. Even the bottom members are still the official crew members of Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. The influence of Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates is enormous. Besides the formal members, there are many non-members. Strictly speaking, these people are at the bottom of the bottom. Elite Pirate of Beast Pirates. Ross looked at Keith not far away with a glimmer in his eyes and he thought about whether he would encounter Three Disasters, but it was a bit of a fuss for Three Disasters to personally take the tribute. If you do something to him, Kaido will probably come after you. Robin stood beside him and whispered. She was too familiar with Rosss character that she could guess what Ross wanted to do just as Ross was familiar with her. Ross grinned and his eyes flashed with a bloody glow. He said: Since killing tenryubito, hasnt the world regarded us as mad Pirates? In that case, its not right to let the world down. Suspended bounty of 350 million Berries. This level of the first kill, he has not yet taken! After his words fell, Ross stepped forward in the snow. Suddenly, his figure flashed and he traveled in a perfect parabola and came into mid-air, directly above Keith and others. Distortion fist! Rosss right finger closed and the invisible power of distortion converged on his fist, turning into a near-transparent faint halo and as he punched, it rushed downward. Distortion Fruit is different in effect from Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi). The shock of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) is scattered in front as a whole, while the power of distortion can condense into a cylindrical chaotic attack. As for the split fruit, if it can awaken, it may form a line. Buzz!! After the punch fell, the air instantly formed a weird Distortion, like being baked by high temperature and flame and it fell head-on towards Silver Ape Keith directly below. Keith, as an Elite pirate of the Beast Pirates with a bounty of 350 million Berries, is naturally not an ordinary figure. Almost when Ross came over his head, he realized something was wrong and when Ross launched his attack, he was able to react. Roar! Zoan apes fruit and ape-like ability were inspired by him in an instant and his entire figure suddenly turned into a silver-backed giant ape, with his arms folded in front of him in the roar and he also stimulated his thick and Tenacious Armament Haki. Rosss Distortion Fist hit him on both arms and there was an obvious pause, but Keiths sullen face was also suddenly overflowing with veins as he was under tremendous pressure. Ah!! After a stalemate for about two seconds, the ice sheet under his feet couldnt stand it and it was completely broken which caused him to enter the Underground by the hard punch of Ross. Pirates offering a bounty of 350 million berries are common in the New World but that did not mean that they are weak but they still wont be able to deal with the likes of Ross, the difference between their strength is completely different. Rosss current strength is at least at the level of the Three Disasters. As for who is stronger and who is weaker than them, He needs to fight them to know for sure. This What happened?! Keith was buried into the earth by something. Naturally, it caused a huge movement. It splashed a wave of snow that rushed in all directions. The Beast Pirates and the indigenous people of the icefield town were all shocked and turned pale seeing the attack and its following result and they retreated. And when the wind and snow dispersed, they saw Rosss figure fall from the sky and dive toward the hole. Somebody dared to do something to Lord Keith! Whether it is the indigenous people of the Icefield Town or the members of the Beast Pirates and Keiths subordinates, They were stunned watching this scene. They are the members of the Beast Pirates, Keith is one of the smaller leaders in the Beast Pirates! Whos so daring to do something to Keith? Doesnt he know what the consequences will be? Who is it?! There was an angry roar from the ape-shaped pit. Keiths ape-like body leaped violently and rushed out of the pit. There was a trace of blood on his mouth and anger in his eyes. But almost as soon as he jumped out of the pit, Ross dived down and punched him in the head with the same attack. Keiths face changed, but he could not avoid it in mid-air. He could only lay his arms on his chest again and stimulated his Armament Haki to resist the coming attack. Once again, he was thrown into the pit and the ice burst. This time. The broken ice layer spreads in all directions, directly letting the area of ??tens of meters in a circle show the horrible cracks like a spiders web, causing countless people to be astonished. That that guy seems to be Ghost Hand Ross! At this time, someone finally recognized Ross. Although Ross was a newcomer to the New World, the news of the bounty of one billion berries and the killing of a tenryubito has already spread throughout the New World. Some people have cold sweat on their foreheads and their eyes were filled with horror and fear. As the members of the Beast Pirates, they have always attacked others and no one has dared to attack them and only the people of other Yonko Pirates would attack them. Ross is the first one to attack them without being affiliated with any Yonko! Zoan fruit Its vitality and toughness are really strong. After two consecutive punches put Keith into the ice twice, Ross looked inside the pit and his Observation Haki captured Keiths figure and he said in a calm voice. If It has been any other ordinary person without a Devil Fruit or a pirate with a Paramecia then he would have been seriously injured by Rosss punch. Zoans Devil Fruit vitality, defense, and toughness are very high. Keith had resisted his attacks hard and only suffered some minor injuries. CHAPTER 166 BOUNTY OF 300 MILLION BERRIES Bang! As the ice crumbled and broke, Keiths figure burst out of the crater and fell on the cracked ice, gasping violently. Looking at Ross, besides anger, his eyes also showed a trace of fear in them. He also recognized Rosss identity. But. This is not the reason why Ross attacked him. How long it has been since he was last attacked by anyone after joining the Beast Pirates? Keiths eyes flashed with anger and he said to Ross in an extremely cold voice, Ghost Hand Ross Do you know what you are doing?! If he hadnt realized that he couldnt defeat Ross, he would not have talked nonsense to Ross and would have already killed him. Yes. Ross nodded and said calmly, I heard that Beast Pirates cant be provoked, so I want to provoke them. Keith: ??? The indigenous people of Icefield Town and the members of the Beast Pirates are all in a state of dismay. They are all dumbfounded after hearing Rosss reason to attack. Just because the Beast Pirates cant be provoked, He came just to provoke them. This style of action is crazier than Jack the drought. Distortion Cut! Ross whispered and pulled out the Happy Spring from his waist and swung it at Keith. A Distortion cut of about three feet long burst out like a crack in the void. Keith instinctively felt the threat. His legs pressed hard as he jumped up in an instant. He avoided Rosss cut and slammed towards Ross with a roar. Ape King guns! This punch has brought Zoans fruit speed and strength to the utmost and he used his Armament Haki to its limit, No matter his strength or control, he is far from those in the first half of the Grand Line and any newly started Supernovas cant match him. Faced with Keiths punch, Rosss face remained unchanged, He used his sword to stab towards the coming enemy and the power of distortion condenses above the tip of the sword. Qing! Keiths black Armament Haki, attached to his fist, collided with Rosss sword tip making a crisp sound and their movements froze for a second.After a second, Rosss sword tip pierced his Armament Haki and penetrated into his fists. Feeling the pain coming from his fist, Keith did not stop, but gritted his teeth and continued to exert his strength into his fist. Rosss sword was like a needle to him in his Silver Ape form. Although it hurt a lot, the injury was not serious. Buzz!! Happy Spring is squeezed between the two forces, showing a curved posture. Interesting. Seeing that Keith trying to break his Happy Spring, Ross snorted, his left index finger pointed out and stabbed towards Keiths eyes and the two power of distortions ran like sword waves towards Keith. Keiths Kenbonshoku (Observation) has already captured this attack, but his left fist is entangled with Ross and he can not break away, so he can only swing his right arm to resist in a hurry. Sneer! Rosss two attacks of the power of distortion pierced Keiths right arms Armament Haki, leaving two bloody holes in his right arm. Meanwhile, Happy Spring also jabbed into his fist until only the handle remained outside. Ross retracted his left hand, his eyes were cold as the power of distortion erupted violently and poured into the hilt of Happy Spring and fired fiercely above Happy Springs blade. Bang! Keiths fist, even though huge and covered with strong Armament Haki couldnt resist the berserkers power and finally burst completely from the inside. Keith Sama! Members of the Beast Pirates all looked a little shocked with horror in their hearts when they saw this scene. Although Ross has a bounty of 1 Billion Berries, He is only a newcomer to the New World and he got that monsterous bounty because he killed a tenryubito. Keith is a Beast Pirates member with a bounty of 350 million Berries on his head. He has fought in the New World for ten years. All of his titles and his bounty are based on his strength. Now. Less than a moment after these two met, One had won and one has lost and Keiths tragic defeat left them terrified and shocked. He He shouldnt be this Keith, whose arm was destroyed, roared and waved his legs in an attempt to fight back but he was kicked back by Ross and quickly put down. Keith flies out directly when he was kicked back by Ross and he smashes on the distant ice wall creating an inch deep cracks on it. His Silver Ape form also retreated and he regained his human form. He looked at Ross who was coming towards him with a calm face and no fear on his face. Crazy Lunatic, ignorant Kaido Sama will not let you go! He had seen too many lawless Supernovas and every single one of them thought that they had conquered the entire sea after they had conquered the first half of the Grand Line, but eventually, they all fell before the unshakable throne of the Yonk (Four Emperors). Ross, a Supernova, though a little special and strong, is a little too far behind their emperor Hundred Beast Kaido, and will certainly pay for his arrogance! I am looking forward to it. Ross calmly said as his sword pierced through Keiths throat. At the same time, the system synth sounds in his ear. Hanging bounty of 350 million Berries, Silver Ape Keith has been hunted and killed, receiving a reward of, 100 Talent Proficiency Points, 1 Free Talent Point. With this 1 point Free Talent Points, Ross finally accumulated 3 Free Talent Points and he can now look forward to the Distortion Fruit reaching the 600 proficiency and him activating the Distortion space ability. There is silence between heaven and the earth, only the sound of the winter wind whistling. Keith is dead. Killed by Ross. Whether it is the indigenous people of the Icefield Town or the people of the Beast Pirates, they have never thought of such a situation. They did not expect to encounter the Ghost Hand Pirates, they did not expect the Ghost Hand Pirates to ignore the name of Hundred Beast Kaido and kill Keith. Crazy Madman Many people couldnt help but shudder at the thought of Hundred Beast Kaidos anger. Looking at Ross, who was calm from beginning to end and didnt seem to know what he had done, all the people of the Beast Pirates felt the muscles on their faces twitching constantly. People who have never seen Hundred Beast Kaido cannot imagine what kind of hell he can unleash. He is still as decisive as ever. Thats really our Captain, hehe. Laffitte emerged from the snow far away and came with Robin, with a strange smile on his face. He had no fear of killing the Beast Piratescadres. Maybe they would have retreated from the name of Yonk (Four Emperors) before, but since they escaped twice from Marine Admirals, they already have the confidence that belongs to powerful Pirates. What about Yonk (Four Emperors)? They come to the New World and sooner or later they will flip a Yonk (Four Emperors)! CHAPTER 167 The rest of the Beast Pirates, Ross killed the ones with higher bounties and left a few more strong for Laffitte and Robin to practice, but they still killed every single one. Finally. With 100 proficiency points gained from Keith, Ross received 120 Talent Proficiency Points, which is a huge reward. Other than that, no treasures were found on the Beast Pirates ship, neither any named blade nor any Devil Fruit. Ross also thought about whether he could find a Devil Fruit he needed from the Beast Pirates ship. But it seemed that all of his luck has been used on the Sabaody Archipelago. After destroying the Beast Pirates, the Log Poses magnetic force was already full. Ross and Laffitte and others returned to the ship and set off to leave the Icefield Island. Returning to his room, Ross called out the Talent Systems Interface. After a little thought for a while, he bites his teeth and decisively put 100 Talent Proficiency points on the Physical Enhancement. His Physical Enhancement has reached 400 points and with this 100 points, he will reach the Maximum Value. Although this kind of distribution is a bit too biased towards physical fitness, it can increase his physical fitness to the limit and it may provide some unexpected effects. Buzz!! In the golden sparkle, the Proficiency bar of Physical Enhancement began to advance rapidly, from 400 to 420 440 Eventually, it reached 500 of Maximum Value! Agility Enhancement: 260 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value) Spirit Heart: 0(Basic Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 50 (Mid Level Strengthening) At the same time that the general panels are changing, a huge heat flow is pouring out of Rosss heart and like a hot spring wrapping his whole body, It is making every cell of his body come alive as if breathing, They are being moistened and Strengthen by the heat flow. A trace of pain, a trace of itching, a trace of pleasure. It seems as if a long time has passed and It seems that only a few seconds have passed. The feeling gradually faded from Rosss body. He stood up and walked to the mirror and looked at his body shape. There were no bulging muscles on his body, and there were few changes compared with before, but he could clearly feel the hardness of his skin. Ross pulled out Happy Spring and dropped it gently against his arm. He didnt use Armament Haki and power of distortion, just a normal flat cut. Sneer! With the sharpness of Happy Spring, there is only a white mark on his skin and it cant break his skin. Although he didnt use too much power, he didnt use Haki to defend and he only used his body as a defense! Ross came to the cabinet, took out a gun and fired the gun at his palm, the bullet bounced off his skin at the moment it touched his palm, leaving no mark on his skin. His skin is not as hard as steel, but still looks like ordinary skin, but with the Tenacious characteristics, like a layer of tough rubber, ordinary bullets can no longer penetrate his skin and ordinary knives and swords can be completely ignored. This means that the average Seastone bullet is almost ineffective on Ross. Because this is not something brought about by the ability of the fruit, it is the defensive character brought about by his simple constitution. And just as Ross judged what strength his body had reached, the sound of the system suddenly sounded from his ear. The host Physical Enhancement has reached the Maximum Value and received an additional bonus for the Maximum Value All the physical branch talents, the proficiency is increased by 50 points. Upon hearing this sound, Ross finally showed a smile on his face. Really! Physical Enhancement, a major talent that reaches Maximum Value, has additional special rewards! Ross called the General Interface of the Talent System and when he looked closely, the data changed a lot. Agility Enhancement: 260 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value) Spirit Heart: 0(Basic Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 100 (High-Level Strengthening) Spirit Heart belongs to the Agility branch, so there is no change, but Tenacious comes under the Physical Enhancement branch and has directly improved by 50 proficiency points and reached High-Level Strengthening! At this moment, Ross also clearly felt that there was a heat flow in his body again, and his stamina and recovery abilities were boosted dramatically. Previous Ross encountered Marine Admiral and could barely support and escape at most. The three days of Aokiji and Florian Triangle sea had actually been Rosss limit. And it was just an escape, not a positive Battle. Aokiji and Akainu competed for the Fleet Admiral position on Punk Hazard and it took 10 days and 10 nights for a winner to be decided, showing the strong stamina of a Marine Admiral! Today, he is no longer inferior to them in the stamina department. Unfortunately, there is no talent that activates the other branches of Physical Enhancement, but looking at this reward, it should be applied to all branch talent of physical ability. Once activated, it will automatically increase by 50 points. Ross looked at the remaining 3 Talent Proficiency Points with a little hesitation and eventually did not activate the other branches of Physical Enhancement. At present, his physical strength is enough, and it is not significant to improve physical enhancement branches. Besides, how many Free Talent Points are needed to activate Distortion space is not known. After raising the Physical Enhancement to Maximum Value with 100 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross looked at the remaining 20 proficiency points and directly put them on the Distortion Fruit. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 530 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki: 100 Armament Haki: 50 Distortion Fruits proficiency reached 530 points and Ross clearly felt that his power of distortions had improved a lot, If he had fought Keith with his present strength then he wouldnt have to make a third attack as his first two attacks wouldve been enough. He is finally getting closer to the strength of a Marine Admiral. Marine Admiral represents a peak, regardless of speed or strength, Haki, stamina, etc., They are all at a peak level that is limited by human potential. And the Three Disasters have powers similar to an Admiral or they are second only to an Admiral, or one or two of them are at Admirals level, while the others are not as good as Marine Admiral. Such a presence can compete with Marine Admiral, but the odds of winning are low in the end. Ross is almost at the same level now. Power is power for pure physical power, and for Ross, it represents the strength of the power of distortion, which is still weaker than that of an Admiral. As for other aspects, except for Hakis weakness, others are very close. When one or two abilities reached the level of a Marine Admiral then they have the qualification to fight against an Admiral and when all of their abilities reach the level of an Admiral, that is the real strength of Admiral! As for Yonk (Four Emperors) Ross personally believes that Yonk (Four Emperors) should be at the Admiral level in all aspects with one of their ability being extremely prominent and thats the reason that they surpass any Admiral with their strength. If Whitebeard is stronger than Admiral in terms of power, Akagami (Red Hair) is better than Admiral in terms of Haki and Hundred Beast Kaido is stronger then them in terms of his Physical Body, Marines cant do anything to them The definition of the worlds power has become very clear in front of Ross. Chapter 167 Physical Ability Max Value CHAPTER 168 CP9 & CP0 Somewhere in the sea. The main ship of the Beast Pirates is sailing slowly on the sea. Its sunny and windy. Theres no bad weather, but the atmosphere on the ship is very depressing. Keith Hundred Beast Kaido sat on the deck with his knees in front of him and there was a bounty poster in front of him. It was the bounty poster of Ross and the bounty of 1 billion Berries was clearly printed under the head. As the Captain of the Beast Pirates, he has little clear memory of the bottom and lower members, but he still remembers the main members of the three Disasters like Keith and others. Beside Kaido, many people of the Beast Pirates stood trembling and sweating. The atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating. Gurgle, Gurgle, Gurgle Hundred Beast Kaido lowered his face and remained silent for seconds. He picked up the bottle beside him and took a murmuring breath. No one dared speak during the whole process. Until Kaido put down the wine gourd, a person hidden in the darkness not far away, slowly sounded, the voice is very low and depressed, full of murderous as it said: Now that we have been provoked, even a billion super-newcomer have to be buried at the bottom of the sea. Lord Kaido, let me go. He is the main figure of the Beast Pirates, one of the three major disasters. On the other side. Ross, coming out of the practice room, took a shower, went to the deck, sat down in a reclining chair and called to Robin, who was reading a book not far away. Robin still sat there in a concentrated reading position, her entire body motionless, but Ross was sitting in the reclining chair with a pile of arms, kneading Ross. Ross: When did this woman become so lazy? Just as Ross was going to tell Robin that massage needed her attention, The Den Den Mushis voice suddenly rang from Robins pocket. Oh! All the arms were turned into petals and Robin closed the book and took the Den Den Mushi out of her pocket. After receiving the call, Kakus voice was heard from the other side. This is Kaku. Is there any new intelligence? Robin asked quietly. Kaku seemed to be avoiding something. His voice was very low. He said, Well, there have been many accidents. Now we are in danger, so I can only make a long story short. Listening to Kakus words, Rosss eyes flickered slightly and he rose to Robins side. Neither of them spoke, waiting for Kakus narrative and report. We found the Paramecia Metal Attribute Devil Fruit. But when we discovered it, the fruit had been paid tribute to a Tenryubito and because of the urgent situation, we could only sneak into the Tenryubitos ship. We stole the Metal attribute fruit and left the ship, but we were discovered by the CP0 members on board and are now being tracked by them. In Kakus short sentences, Ross and Robin quickly learned what had happened. Kaku and others, in order not to let the Metal attribute fruit be brought back to Holy Land by tenryubito, chose to steal metal attribute fruit immediately, but the Tenryubito on the ship was accompanied by CP0 escorts and they were discovered. Now they have the Metal attribute fruit, but they are not opponents of CP0. They are being tracked by members of CP0. Once found, the Metal attribute fruit will be taken back. Whats your position? After Ross listened, he did not ask for more specific information but directly asked Kaku and others about their specific location. Kaku reported his exact location on a large island in North Blue, near Holy Land Mariejois, called the Kingdom of Ghalela. I see. Ill be there soon. You try to delay the time. Ross responded with a sigh of relief. Since it is in North Blue and not far from Holy Land, it is not far from them and they can arrive faster. And there is a large island and it is still a country, as long as the people of CP9 can hide and play hide and seek with the people of CP0, he can catch up. Leave it to us. Kaku and others were all relieved to hear Ross coming at once. They are not afraid of delaying time, they are afraid that Ross will not come or because something cant be done. In that case, they can only rely on themselves to find a way to get out. It will be very difficult. After all, they are confronted with their former boss and intelligence department. The highest level of the organization, CP0! Captain, theyll be here soon, its time for us and the CP0 guys to play a game. Kaku hangs up on the Den Den Mushi and looks at his companions, revealing a confident look. Today they are much better than they were when Ross defeated them. Jabra has mastered Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Armament Haki. Others have mastered at least one type of Haki and they are confident in evading CP0 members. After all. Those two CP0 members are not Captain, They are just ordinary members of CP0. On the other side. Hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Ross called Laffitte and Law. Ross took out the map and placed it on the table. After a little research with Laffitte, he determined a route. Because he can take the ship to the sky, there is no need to circumvent the Calm Belt, which is a Sea King settlement, so they can sail straight and reach the Ghalela Kingdom of North Blue. If the current and weather are smooth, it should take less than half a month to get there If Ghost Shadow Ship was still there, seven days would have been enough. Laffitte shrugged when he mentioned the Ghost Shadow Ship. Listening to Laffitte, Ross murmured slightly. My power can control the current and keep it going for a long time. It wont take us more than ten days to reach our destination. Now his stamina has become very strong. Even if he takes a ship to and from Fishman Island, it will be more than enough. Distorting current for a long amount of time will naturally be no problem. Than, it shouldnt take us more than ten days. When Ross said that he was able to control the direction of the current for a long time, Laffitte responded instantly, he has taken into account the strange currents on the Grand Line when he mentioned fifteen days route before. After judging the approximate time, Ross and others did not stop and immediately turned their course towards the Ghalela kingdom of North Blue. For the Metal attribute fruit, Ross must go there! Metal attribute fruit is a special Paramecia. The body can be transformed into liquid metal. To some extent, it is even more suitable for giants than general Logia. With the metal attribute fruit in his hand, He will then go to the Sky Island and he will be able to acquire the Rumble-Rumble Fruit if there is no accident and with these Devil Fruits he will be able to create three big Elements giants. In that case. The giant regiment he will build, even if it was initially formed, has a very strong fighting force. Whats the Beast Corps, the Army of Nations, the Scientific Force? In front of such a regiment, all of them will be defeated! CHAPTER 169 DIFFICULT POSITION Holy Land Mariejois. In front of tenryubitos mansion somewhere, a tenryubito was furious. He was Mjosgards father and as his son was missing at the bottom of the sea. He was naturally very angry. What do the government and Marine are doing? And you CP0, find my son! Yes The government officials in front of him are all sweating. As for a few CP0s members, they lowered their faces and said: You should have Saint MjosgardVivre Card. Please give it to us. We will find Saint Mjosgard soon. Vivre Card Mjosgards father frowned. He did have this kind of thing, or all tenryubito had these kinds of things, but he basically never took it out and used it. After that, he forgot where he had left it. But he also knew the effect of this thing. Without this, he wouldnt be able to find his son and it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Although he was angry, he hummed and went into his house. Wait here! I will look for it. This The government also has a preservation Vivre Card there. If we cant find it, we can go to the government to get it. A government official bowed his head and spoke. Mjosgards father turned his head and screamed, What are you waiting for here then? Go and find it, you worthless dogs! Yes Yes Government officials repeatedly responded and several CP0 members quickly left and disappeared into the streets. Over the Calm Belt. A ship is flying about two kilometers above the sea. Even if its a super-giant Sea King, it cant touch most of the ships body without rushing out of the sea, so its basically safe. Calm Belt has a very wide range. In the past, it was difficult for Ross to fly over Calm Belt with a ship, but now it is no longer a problem. After flying for about three days. The ship left the Calm Belt and drove into the North Blue sea. Ross controlled the ship into the sea. After a short break, the power of distortion ignited and the bottom of the ship was instantly distorted and the whole ship sailed toward the Ghale Kingdom. At this time, it is no longer necessary to look for the location of CP9 and others. With their Vivre Card, he can find Kaku and others more accurately. The Kingdom of Ghale. On the roof of an abandoned building, in a slightly dark room, Kaku and others are dressing each others wounds. Jabras injury is the most serious among the people, but he has Zoans Devil Fruit, which is strong in endurance and tenacity so he can bear it. Next is Kaku, Kaku, and Jabra, who, when repeatedly found by CP0, make some fight planes against CP0 and then use Bluenos door fruits to find a chance to escape. This process has lasted several times in these days. The members of CP0 are either selected from a young age and the talented people join directly after training, or they are promoted from the elite of CP1-9. Despite the fact that only two CPOs were chasing them and they were just ordinary members, they were still better than Kaku and Jabra and even if they joined forces, they could barely resist them. Its the third time that weve been discovered, Did we really chose such a bad hiding place every time. No, it should be said that their searchability is too strong, after all, they are our top boss and they are also the most elite members and the predecessor of the CP9 . Kalifa dresses Jabras wounds and replied. They have high self-confidence in what to sneak in, hide and track, but if they are faced with the top CP0 organization then it is quite different. In other words, we should remain vigilant and we can continue to resist the current situation. Kaku sat in the corner, wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth with his finger, and said, Its been a week. We need to be ready for another week. Ross and others have arrived at New World and they are naturally well aware that the journey from the New World to Ghale will take at least half a month, not to mention that Ghost Shadow Ship is now gone and any other ship will slow them down. One week Kalifa grinned bitterly. This week they have spent a lot of means to escape alive. They have no idea what to do next week to prevent repetitive means that will certainly not work in front of CP0s elite. Fortunately, there is the fruit of Blueno, otherwise we would have been done a long time ago. Jabra dressed his wound, but instead of worrying about it, he showed his smile. Bluenos door-door fruit is the best way to escape, but the defect is that he did not develop the fruit enough and they cannot move a long distance. Otherwise, if they can move around from island to island then they wouldnt be afraid to be found. I will go out to get something to eat, the whole island is under martial law, but as long as I dont encounter CP0, there should be no problem. Kalifa took a deep breath and spoke quietly to the crowd. Now that Kaku and Jabra, their two major forces are low on stamina and are seriously injured, the mission to go out to find food naturally falls on her who is basically unharmed. I will go with you. Fukuro stood up. He only had a wound on his forehead and he was hardly hurt. The reason why he and Kalifa were least injured was that each time they went first because one was a woman and the other kept stolen metal attribute fruit. As he spoke, Fukuro took out a slightly glossy Devil Fruit that looked like metal and handed it to Kaku for protection. Good. Kalifa did not refuse. She could not take too many things alone. If she took too many things, it would not be easy to conceal and sneak in. If someone accompanied her, it would be much better to investigate and sneak in. The two left the hiding place and sneaked away toward the nearby streets. At this time, They can see the guards of the Ghale Kingdom patrolling every other section of the street, the tribute to the tenryubito was stolen, the people of the Ghale Kingdom are naturally terrified, afraid of the anger of the tenryubito and they are doing their utmost to help CP0 search for the thief. But. For Kalifa and others, three or five ordinary guards are just like children who can be easily teased, as long as they do not encounter CP0, there is no problem. Kalifa and Fukuro quickly sneaked into a shop, stole a lot of food and water and slipped out quietly, sneaking in the dark lanes and going to the gathering point. But. What neither of them noticed was that a pair of eyes appeared in the darkness, staring at them with a touch of coldness. Kalifa and Fukuro avoided patrols by guards and returned with food and water to the top of the abandoned building where they were hiding. CHAPTER 170 ARRIVEL Seeing Kalifa and Fukuro back, Jabra asked. Did you encounter any trouble?. No. Kaku and other people nodded, took food and water and immediately began to eat, for them, food and water are still very important as they could restore some stamina. But. Almost as soon as they ate half of it, Kaku suddenly had a bad feeling and his passive Observation Haki caught something and he gave a subconscious roar. Get down! Jabra and Kalifa immediately bowed down in accordance with Kakus voice. Almost instantly, a terrifying Rakanyaku (Tempest Kick) cut straight across and cut from one corner of the building to the other. The upper part of the entire abandoned building was cut into two sections by this Rankyaku (Tempest Kick)! Bang Long! The entire upper ceiling that was cut was smashed into the street below. Found you, CP9 traitors. Two masked CP0 members, using Gepp (Moonwalk) appeared next to the cut-off building with a cold look on their faces, There wasnt even any killing intent on their faces, It was filled with emotionless indifference, indifference to the traitors must be erased. Damn it to hell, how did they found us so soon Kaku looked at the two CP0 members and gritted his teeth in anger. The two members of CP0, one is tall and thin and he seems to be from the Long Legged clan, the other one is shaped like an ordinary human being. The long-legged member overlooks Kaku and others and said indifferently: You have used the same hiding methods several times in a row, If we cant even find flaws in that, How can we be your boss? But your ability has indeed created a lot of trouble as this little game between us should have ended the next day. The other ordinary human member coldly said. The moment his voice fell, his eyes were shimmering with cold light and his middle index finger and ring finger were all bent and he threw a bullet-like attack at Kaku and others. The air turned into a whirlpool which took a shape of a bullet and burst out rapidly. Shigan (Finger Gun) Chaos! Knowing the power of this move, Kaku and others naturally dare not be careless. Jabra did not hesitate to turn over and drag his tired and injured body and barely used a Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) to face the coming attack. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) collided with the Shigan (Finger Gun) in the air and burst in the air like a firecracker and at this time, the CP0 member attacked with his foot. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick)Storm! As a member of the long-legged clan, the strength in his foot is much stronger than that of normal humans. His Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) is also far stronger than Jabra as it directly transformed into 100-meter-long sword energy and covered the whole abandoned building in an energy storm. Whiz! Whiz! When Kaku and others saw it, they had no plans to fight it head-on and they stepped back. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) Storm hit the abandoned building and instantly the building burst apart directly, causing numerous residents and soldiers of the Ghale kingdom to show shock and retreat toward the distance. Lets Go! Air Door! After Blueno jumped down, he immediately came to Kalifa and Fukuro who had recollected the metal attribute fruit and opened a door in the air, ready to send them away first. But before Kalifa and Fukuro got in, a figure suddenly appeared next to Blueno, swaying and kicking fiercely. Blueno immediately used Tekkai (Iron Body) and the immature version of Armament Haki, but his shoulder blade was almost broken because of the kick and caused him to fly back. Fukuro tried to catch Blueno on the side, but he couldnt resist the impact and flew back with Blueno. I dont want to see it anymore You escaped with that troublesome ability. The long-legged member of CP0 looked coldly at Blueno and immediately turned to look at Kalifa and said in a cold voice: From the moment you betrayed the government, you should have known what will happen, Now say goodbye. Kalifa was frightened and turned back to try to escape but her speed was far less than that of the CP0 member and Kaku and Jabra were not there. Whiz! The Long-legged CP0 member sweeps Kalifa with one foot. Even Blueno, who is good at Tekkai (Iron Body) and can use an amateur version of Armament Haki cant resist the others move, let alone the one who is not at all good at it. She will undoubtedly die on the spot after being hit. Although Kalifa is good at the Observation Haki, the other party as the member of CP0 will also use Kenbonshoku (Observation) and it is deeper than her, so she was only able to barely catch the attack and her face is somewhat white. Kalifa! Kaku and Jabra, who had no time to support her, shouted out. And just at that time, the earth suddenly shook with strange rhythm. The ground under the feet of the long-legged clan member suddenly protruded upward for a period of time! This is not the ending that everyone expected. As the was ground suddenly raised, the attack of the long-legged CP0 member shifted its direction and it was dangerously washed from the side of Kalifa and the wind generated from that cut her hair a few times. It can be seen that this attack was quite dangerous. Who?! The attack of the long-legged CP0 member was disturbed by the raised earth. After he stabilized his body, he immediately gave a loud cry. They already know the ability of Kalifa and others and there is no one among them with an earth-related ability and the ground cannot be raised without the use of an ability, so that means that someone else was here. So was it fun dealing with my subordinates CP0. Rosss figure stepped up from the end of the street and the disturbance that was just made was precisely what he had done at a critical moment. When he arrived at this island, he found that the Kakus Vivre card had become unstable, which means that he was in a crisis, so he immediately rushed here at his full speed and he arrived at a critical moment. Its you?! The Long-legged CP0 member saw Rosss appearance and his pupils shrank sharply. He had made several guesses about the partners Kalifa and others had, but he had never thought it would be the Ghost Hand Ross! CP9 had dealt with Ghost Hand Ross before and was completely defeated by Ross. Even Lucci seemed to have died in Rosshands. How could they possibly become Rosss subordinate? CP9s Kaku and others are professionally trained, and coercion has no effect on them. It is almost impossible to threaten their cooperation or subjugate them. Captain Ross Kaku and others finally breathed a sigh of relief when Ross appeared, especially Kalifa, who had survived the attack, gasped violently and regained a little blood on her pale face. Lets go! The Long-legged CP0 member stared at Ross and took a decisive decision to retreat immediately. Ghost Hand Rosss strength is very clear to them. They need their chief and elite members to have the capital to arrest him. It is meaningless to fight him with just their strength. And. Knowing the connection between the Ghost Hand Pirates and the CP9 party, they can also explain this failer to their superiors. CHAPTER 171 KILLING Dont you think its too late to leave now? Ross said in an indifferent voice and then he disappeared at the end of the street like a bubble. When he reappeared, He is already directly above the head of the long-legged CP0 member! What? The long-legged member showed a trace of horror. Faced with Rosss ruthless leg attack, he could not respond and he could only instinctively exerting his foot strength to the maximum and lift his legs violently. The two-legged collision occurred in the air and centering on the collision point, a burst of air suddenly bursts out and like a stone thrown in a calm lake, ripples spread in all directions. Bang Long!! Almost at the next moment, the ground beneath the CP0 member started to break apart creating a spider web pattern centered on the place where the Long-legged member stood. It broke apart inch by inch as if it had been under the pressure of a mountain. It spread over ten meters all the way and then the whole ground collapsed. The long-legged CP0 member couldnt even scream as his entire body was buried into the collapsed underground by Ross and the blood-splattered. Another CP0 member saw this scene and his soul almost left his body out of fright, He and his companion, although not elites but are strong members and his companion couldnt even resist one attack from Ross. What a terrifying strength! Escape! There is only one thought left in his heart. But as he wanted to escape, Kaku and Jabra surrounded him from left and right with cold looks on their faces. They are very happy to chase him. Now it is time for payback. Bang! Bang! The CP0 member made every effort to repel Kaku and Jabra, trying to break into the street to escape, but after being blocked, he completely lost any chance. Rosss figure flashed in front of him. Shigan (Finger Gun)! His Observation Haki caught Rosss figure and he gnashed his teeth and used Shigan (Finger Gun) at Rosss head, He was ready to die and he wanted Ross to die with him. However, Ross also pointed his finger at the coming Shigan (Finger Gun). Distortion! Boom! Two fingers collided in the air, as if two bullets collided together, instantly swinging a circle of ripples and the air presents a Distortion shape. Almost in the next moment, the index finger of the CP0 member began to collapse from the fingertip and under the effect of the power of distortion, it turned into small round particles. Under Rosss Distortion finger, the palm of his finger, together with the whole arm, were all connected by one finger, and the bones and flesh were all turned into rounded particles. CP9 Kaku and others watched this scene and all of them were shocked in their hearts and minds. In the past, Ross has defeated Lucci after a long battle head-on, but even Lucci could never beat CP0 members this easily. CP0 members are almost all proficient in the six styles of Marine and Haki, the strength of these two people and the previous Lucci was also similar, but in front of current Ross, They couldnt even resist a single attack! Captain Rosss strength I thought we had grown a lot stronger but it seems that Captain has jumped several levels and his strength has grown to a more terrifying level. After seeing Rosss strength, Kaku and other peoples pride, which is caused by their strength, vanishes in a flash. After defeating the second CP0 member, Ross did not kill him immediately, but knocked him out and waited for Laffitte to come over and see if he could get some useful intelligence out of him before killing him. Only these two? Ross turned his head to look at Kaku and others. Kaku nodded and showed a slight embarrassment. It was a little shame that so many of them were defeated by two people of CP0 and almost got wiped out. If Ross and CP0 have a good battle with each other, then they wouldnt be so embarrassed but he directly defeated them and it looked like it took very small effort out of him to defeat them. Ross thought that there were many CP0 members here, but it turns out that there were only two and these two almost killed his intelligence team who had learned Haki. Ross went on to ask, What about that tenryubito? Is he still on this island? Kaku shook his head and said: He left a few days ago, the tenryubito didnt care much about a Devil Fruit and left the island, leaving only these two to hunt us. Ross nodded and continue to ask: What about the metal attribute fruit? Here it is. Fukuro came up and took out a metal-glossy, irregular-shaped Devil Fruit, the Paramecia Metal devil fruit. Ross took the metal attribute fruit and took a look at it and confirmed that there was little possibility of making a mistake about the shape and color. After measuring it, he pointed to Kaku and other: Well Youve done a good job. Despite being chased so badly by the CP0s members, it was the metal attribute fruit that was eventually acquired and the intelligence provided by them for a long time was very beneficial so Ross gave a good comment. When Kaku and others heard Ross, they were a bit embarrassed. How is your Haki practice going? Ross put the metal attribute fruit away and asked Kaku and others. Usually, the contacts between him and CP9 are all related to Intelligence. Basically, he hasnt examined the practicing situation of CP9 members. Although CP9 is definitely not the main force of battle but as an Intelligence department, it still needs to have a certain amount of strength. Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Armament Haki are almost mastered by me, and Jabra is almost the same Blueno only knows Armament Haki and Kalifa is practicing Kenbonshoku (Observation), Fukuro only knows a little of both. Kaku reported the situation to Ross. Not everyone has mastered the two types of Haki, which is what Ross expects. For talented members such as Blueno and others, it is better to be proficient in a single type of Haki. There is no need to force something that they are not good at and they will all work together anyway and rarely would they act alone. Not bad. Ross nodded, his requirements for Kaku and others are not very high, Kaku and Jabra can reach the level of ordinary CP0 members, Kalifa and Blueno and others can reach the level of Kaku before. A moment later, Laffitte rushed over and tried to hypnotize and coerce the CP0 member, but the result was a failure. Hypnosis was totally ineffective on CP0 members who were much stronger than Kaku and others and torture was also ineffective. Dont have wishful thinking, I wont say anything. The CP0 man sneered and said, Dont think you can cross the sea unhindered. The power of the government is far beyond your imagination, Ghost Hand Ross Just wait till they show it, you will know what true despair is. I am looking forward to it. Rosss indifferent said and seeing that he couldnt get any information out of this man, he showed no mercy. The Power of distortion swayed, killing the CP0 member. It seems that because these two CP0 members are only ordinary members, he has not received any reward after they were killed. Ross gave a bad comment in his heart, but with the metal attribute fruit, this action is not meaningless. Next, you will come with me to the New World and focus on the intelligence of Donquixote Family members at the cadre level, report back at any time you discover something new and continue to search for the Barrier-Barrier Fruit. After finishing, Ross directed Kaku and others to follow him. CHAPTER 172 Golden Lion Shiki Ghale islands shore. Rosss ship was docked here. After killing the two members of CP0, Ross and Laffitte returned to the ship with the CP9. CP9 members have suffered some more or fewer injuries. Although they have been bandaged, they are treated by professional surgeon Law on the ship so their healing process is much faster. You caught a tenryubito? When they learned that Ross was holding a tenryubito on board, Kaku and others were shocked. Although they knew Ross had killed a tenryubito in Sabaody Archipelago, they did not expect a live one on board. Standing next to Ross, Kalifa put a finger on her chin while thinking something. As far as I know, every tenryubito has a Vivre Card placed inside the government so that they can be rescued in time of the shipwreck. You caught him on Fishman Island and the government should have reacted by this time. She looked up at Ross and said that the government and Marine would probably find their place because of this tenryubito. When Ross heard Kalifas words, he immediately thought about it. Vivre Card was something he had ignored before, but it was not so easy to locate someone precisely based on Vivre Card. What should we do, Captain? Kill him now? Laffitte stood not far away and spread his hand at Ross. Ross thought for a while and said, Its not so easy to find people with Vivre Card. Besides, weve been moving all this time. Next, well go to Sky Island. Captain is right. Vivre Card can only provide direction, but its not so easy if the direction is always changing, plus the impact of the current Climate also changes things. Law was carrying the demon knife and leaning against the side of the cabin. A live tenryubito has many uses and it will be too wasteful to kill him directly. Even if they threw him to one of the Yonk (Four Emperors), even then it will be more useful than killing him directly. Yes, and this tenryubito can also be used as bait The government does not know who caught this tenryubito. Rosss eyes flashed with cold light. Without knowing the specific intelligence, tenryubito was like a bait that constantly attracted CP0 and Marine until Marines would found out that it was he who caught the tenryubito. Thats the first thing. By the way, Kalifa, you seem to have eaten Bubble-Bubble Fruit? Ross turned his head to look at Kalifa. The fruit should not be available to Kalifa for years, but Kaku and others have been looking for Devil Fruit recently and Ross has approved the free use of the fruit except for any Logia and the metal or barrier devil fruit. Bubble-Bubble Fruit, which Kaku and others would not use, naturally fell on the only woman, Kalifa. Yes. Kalifa pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose. Ross said thoughtfully, Thats a good ability. After leaving the Ghale kingdom, Ross Distortion took control of the ships oblique flight to the sky and then he went into the bathroom to test the Bubble-Bubble Fruits ability. Robin glanced at him and regained her gaze. High Altitude. This is already a cloud-like area, except for the birds that can survive at high altitudes, there are only a few white clouds left. And in that cloud, there suddenly appeared a huge dark shadow, slowly moving in the sky, It was an island! Ross Distortion Fruit still doesnt have enough power to make an entire island float in the sky. This is the power of Paramecia Float-Float Fruit, whose owner is one of the legendary big Pirate. Golden Lion Shiki! Almost got caught up in that storm On the island, Golden Lion was standing on a hillside looking up at the sky. His face was very unhappy. What he feared most was the storm, which could easily cause problems on the island. While Golden Lion was worrying about the weather, a subordinate suddenly rushed over with a look of shock on his face. Shiki Sama, theres a ship flying in the sky! Oh, that must be mine Golden Lion subconsciously wanted to say that it is his own ship, but just when he finished the first half of the sentence, he realized that he did not control the ship flying in the sky! Golden Lion, slightly surprised, immediately asked for directions and his entire figure crossed an arc in the air and he quickly flew to the edge of the island, looking far away. Over there. Sure enough, between the clouds and mists, a ship could be seen flying diagonally towards the sky and Golden Lion was absolutely sure that it was not his ship. Its kind of interesting Gravity fruit? Or some other gravitational fruit? Golden Lions eyes flashed an interesting look. As one of the legends that sailed in the peak times of Whitebeard, Roger and others, a ship flying in the sky did not surprise him. There are many who had the ability to make a ship fly. But only his Float-Float Fruit can make an entire Island Eternally float in the sky! Whiz! After a little thought, Golden Lion still chased the ship up as the ability to control the ships flight in the sky matched with his flying Pirates ship ability. If he could make that person into his subordinate, he could share a lot of things with him. On the other side. Golden Lion noticed the existence of the ship. Ross and others naturally discovered the island flying in the sky earlier. Laffitte and others were shocked. Even though they have been to the Sky island, the Sky island is a special cloud layer, which is quite different from the apparently floating island of the earth in the air! This is the ability ofFloat-Float Fruit. Robin stared at the flying island in the air and spoke quietly. In her slightly distant memory, she had heard that a pirate could float an entire island in the sky and the name of that pirate has become a legend. Yes, Golden Lion Shikis Float-Float Fruit. Ross stared at the floating island and his eyes flashed. Although Fujitora could also suspend a large number of ruins into the sky, it would be impossible to imagine that an entire island could float at 10,000 meters in the sky in an almost Eternal way. When Ross mentioned the name of Golden Lion Shiki, the faces of the present people immediately changed. The only person to have escaped from the Impel Down! An existence similar to Whitebeard and Roger before the Great Age of Pirates! A legendary character who once invaded the Marine Headquarters alone and fought Garp and Sengoku, destroying the Marine Headquarters by almost half and was finally defeated! Every single one of his deeds is earth-shattering. Chapter 172 Golden Lion Shiki CHAPTER 173 HAOSHOKU Looking at the floating island, Ross blinked and remained silent. Golden Lions bounty was also very high. Although the bounty was eliminated after he got captured and put in Impel Down, He received another bounty after he escaped from the prison. Although it was not as high as before, it still reached 1.7 billion berries! A bounty of 1.7 billion! If he can defeat the Golden Lion then the proficiency points he will receive will be enough to make his strength improve by a lot, but the problem is that the strength of Golden Lion completely corresponds to this bounty! After encountering Luffy, his defeat made no sense to Ross and he wasnt mentioned. But Golden Lion was able to break into the Marine Headquarters and fight Garp and Sengoku at their peak before getting defeated and imprisoned, But their fight still destroyed nearly half of the Marine Headquarters. Even if his legs were broken in the escape and his intelligence becomes abnormal, his strength will not have decline too much. At least it will remain at the level of a Marine Admiral. Not good. Ross meditated for a moment but still gave such an assessment that Golden Lion Shiki was not in his prey category for the time being. But just as Rosss ship continued to fly up and was about to be separated from Golden Lions island, a figure cut through the clouds and sped through. Somebodys coming! Hes fast. Laffitte and others were aware of the rushing figure and they were instantly alert and almost the next moment, the figure crossed an arc and landed on the deck of the ship. Hello, hahaha Its a great ability to fly a ship. Whos your Captain? Golden Lion, who landed on the ship, grinned with his cigar in his mouth. Although he did not unleash his Haoshoku Haki, he is a legendary pirate and his aura is very special and his momentum is also revealed in an instant and it got to a point where Kaku and others couldnt even breath properly. Looking at the uninvited Golden Lion, Ross stood there, his eyes calm. Im the Captain. Im sorry theres no wine onboard to entertain you, Golden Lion. Golden Lion looked at Ross and slightly narrowed his eyes. Although he stayed in the sky, he was not ignorant of the current things at sea. Ross with a bounty of one billion Berries was enough to enter his eyes. When he saw Ross, he recognized him. He thought it was a nameless person but he didnt think that it was a pirate with a little fame. It was undoubtedly an unexpected pleasure for him and his solicitation was even more intense and Ross can call out his title. It seems that he is also not ignorant. You are called Ghost Hand Rosshahahahaha, how about joining the Golden Lion Pirates?! After Golden Lion stared at Ross and looked into his eyes, he suddenly smirked and showed his, raising one hand and making a fist in front of his body. He said, If you join me, the sea will be in our pocket sooner or later! Since he was imprisoned in Impel Down, his old subordinates are all scattered and now only a few of them follow him, Now in the state of loneliness, His subordinates are not battle-ready. A pirate with the bounty of one billion berries, regardless of his strength or fame, is eligible to join his Golden Lion Pirates and he can become a sharp sword in his hand! I really do want to control the sea, but Ross opened his eyes calmly and even with the momentum of Golden Lion, there was no movement or change. Im not interested in being someone elses man, he said. Hey. Hearing Rosss neat refusal, Golden Lion suddenly snorted and put down his fist. He slightly raised his head and said: Although I havent paid much attention to the sea for a long time, I still know a little bit. Do you think you can beat those Yonk (Four Emperors) with your words? For Golden Lion, all the Yonk (Four Emperors), except Whitebeard who is from his generation, others rose much later than he did and they naturally belonged to the younger generation in his eyes. How can I know if I dont try? Ross calmly responded. Golden Lion stared at Ross and suddenly looked up and laughed. A sound of haha hahaha echoed in the clouds. Meanwhile, a rage of chaos erupted from the Golden Lion and burst out in all directions. HaoshokuHaki! Almost in an instant, the nearby clouds were severely affected, as if the whirlpools are being stirred up and as if the sky and the earth were fading! This Haoshoku Haki is not something that the likes of Don Chinjao can compare. Fukuro and Kalifa fell down and are unconscious. Blueno is barely hanging on but his breathing is stagnant and his forehead is overflowing with cold sweat. As for Kaku Jabra and Robin, they are all under great pressure. Laffitte was the only one who could keep his expression fixed and Ross was still standing there with calm eyes. Haoshoku Haki Feeling the subtle shock and oppression from the surface, Ross muttered in his heart, this is the second time he has experienced Haoshoku Haki. Looking at Ross and others, Golden Lion gradually stopped laughing and his figure slowly floated up as he looked down at Ross. Its good to have such courage, but its not enough. You dont have enough strength. Its just empty talk! Even Golden Lion himself is sure that he cant beat Whitebeard alone and he is naturally scornful towards Rosss arrogant attitude. Nevertheless, he knows very well the mentality of a newcomer like Ross, who has just risen up. Its normal to be arrogant for them who had just conquered the first half of the Grand Line. Only by realizing the difference between failure and the real strength can he curb that arrogance. Do you understand the gap, Ghost-Hand boy! He flew to a place about tens of meters away from the ship. His eyes became quiet and his legs were lifted up as he swept them violently. The famous swords that replaced his leg were suddenly burst with terrifying sword energy that cut towards the ship directly below him. This sword energy is much stronger than that of the Vice-Admiral Ross met. The only thing that can match it in his impression is Hawkeye Mihawk, the worlds strongest swordsman! Without a doubt. Golden Lion is also a swordsman standing with the top sword masters of the World! The purpose of this sword energy attack is not to destroy Ross and others, but just to destroy the ship, He is trying to make Ross feel the gap between the strong and let him surrender to him. But. Subjection to the strong or something, such a mentality from the beginning, does not exist in Rosss mind, a person playing the game, will he submit to the NPC in the game? The answer is no! Whiz! Almost at the moment of Golden Lions attacked, Ross flew into the air, his eyes calm and indifferent and he punched the coming sword energy. With his power of distortion, he cant knead it into a ball, but that doesnt prevent Ross from breaking it with his power! Bang! The huge golden sword energy collided with Rosss fist and as if a golden crescent was cutting steel quickly, golden lights were splashing around. For about a second, the two forces stalled and the huge golden sword energy could not maintain its perfect arc. Distortion broke in the middle, rubbed the sides and fell into the clouds below and cut a white cloud into two sections. Ross floats in the air and looks up at Golden Lion as he slowly retrieves his fist and his eyes are calm. Gaps are meant to be filled up. Pop Golden Lion was surprised that Ross was able to block his attack, but he still snorted. The stronger Ross is, the more he wants him to become a part of his crew. He waved his legs again and kicked in the void one after another and instantly swept out seven or eight golden energy attack that falls down toward Ross like a gale of Rainstorm. He is not holding back anymore. Although he intends to recruit Ross, Battle is Battle. If Ross is so easy to die, it means that Ross is not qualified to join his crew. CHAPTER 174 ROSS VS GOLDEN LION Lion Thousand Cuts! Golden Lion displayed his sword arts to the fullest. Even though he lost his legs and replaced his feet with two swords, the essence of the sword arts is embroidered to deep into his body and he still can attack with his full powers. Seven or eight golden sword energies rushed towards Ross. Whiz! Whiz! Ross unleashed his Observation Haki and entered the Spirit Heart state. Every single sword energy is captured by his haki. He controls the gravity and lifts his foot in the void. He danced like a wire and his figure flickers rapidly as he drilled into the net of sword energy and charged towards Golden Lion Shiki. He pulled back his right hand and punched out. Your Kenbonshoku (Observation) practice is good. Shikis eyes glimmered and he didnt retreat while facing Rosss punch, His right foot jerked up and slammed down towards Ross. Bang! This sword instantly collided with Ross fist that is wrapped in the power of distortion, The sharpness of the sword covers the power of distortion as it collided with Rosss fist. Rosss fist is covered with the hardened Armament Haki and sparks are splashing around as he clashed against Golden Lions sword. Bang! Golden Lion Shiki chopped off Rosspower of distortion, but could not completely block the power of distortion. Under the influence of the power of distortion, his face changed slightly, and his entire figure circled and flew backward. At the same time, Ross also flew backward under Golden Lions sword and stopped about tens of meters away from his previous position. There was a slight bloodstain on his right hands fist surface, but it got scabbed and recovered in a moment. Besides. Most surprisingly, Ross also had a trace of blood on his forehead, where he had no contact with Golden Lions sword but he was still affected by Golden Lions chop attack. In his memory, Rayleigh and Kizaru fought against each other on the Sabaody Archipelago. Although his blade was blocked by Kizaru, the aftermath left a small wound on Kizarus face, which is what happened here. Naturally. The wound on his forehead is very shallow and it recovered in the blink of an eye. With hisTenacious talent, this small wound would not cause him any trouble. Is this the sword arts of a Swordsman Ross touched the scabbed forehead and the scab fell off silently. He looked at Golden Lion with a slightly twinkling eye and said, It doesnt seem like much. Golden Lions clothes and hair had obvious wrinkles under the influence of the power of distortion, but he was not injured. He snorted when he heard Rosss words. Ill let you know in a minute! Whiz! Golden Lion Shiki swooped down and flew towards Ross, swinging his legs and kicking at him. A terrifying sword energy, nearly a kilometer in length, cut through the sky and the clouds and fell. Chop! The coming attack did not cover the ship in its range and Ross did not confront it, He flashed and avoided the sword energy and rushed towards Shiki. Both figures are extremely dexterous, one wearing white, one wearing a yellow coat, flipping up and down in the air, like gods fighting in the clouds, From time to time golden energy burst out and cut through the clouds. Qing! Qing! Ross and Shiki confronted each other. After several wounds appeared on his fists, Rosss eyes suddenly shone with a cold light. Light Distortion suddenly burst into action. The empty space of tens of meters around him suddenly darkened and a strong light burst from his eyes and pierced into Shikis eyes. Suddenly, Shiki closed his eyes involuntarily with pain. Ross seized the opportunity to appear in front of him in an instant and kicked out fiercely with his leg. Golden Lion Shiki was affected and had no time to swing his sword for his defense. He could only block this attack by laying his arms in front of him and defend with Armament Haki. Bang! Shikis Haki is similar to an Admiral such as Aokiji. In the case of complete passive defense, Ross power of distortion cannot be completely offset. He is hit by Rosss leg, and Shiki instantly fell towards the clouds below Ross had almost figured out Golden Lion Shikis strength by this time. Shiki was extremely flexible in air combat but not as fast as Kizaru. As for his Haki, it was similar to Admiral such as Aokiji. The only outstanding things about him were his sword arts and Haoshoku Haki. But. Even if Golden Lion was a genius swordsman, losing both legs and replacing them with swords, the power of sword arts will be weakened and it is not much stronger than that of a Marine Admiral in the attack. The only thing that cant be measured is Haoshoku Haki, Shikis Haoshoku has more or less an impact on Ross, but so far Golden Lion has not used it for a second time. Whiz! Golden Lion Shiki fell into the clouds and Ross did not hesitate to step into the air and catch up. This brat thousand cuts! Golden Lion Shiki still cant open his eyes, but with his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, he has already captured Ross actions. He coughed and kicked violently in the air. More than ten sword energies broke out from the clouds, interlaced into a big net and cut off towards Ross. The net not only enveloped Ross but it also included the hull of the ship far away in the attack area, forcing Ross to resist it. Bang! Ross opened the web of sword energy and Golden Lion Shikis eyes recovered. His eyes showed a touch of anger as he rushed towards Ross. Originally, Shiki regarded Ross as a rising youngster of the younger generation. As a result, Shiki did not think that he would lose to a youngster. He was naturally a little annoyed and angry. Qing! Golden Lion chopped off with his sword, Ross avoided and counterattacked with his leg. Golden Lions other leg swept horizontally and hit Rosss leg together. The Power of distortion and sword energy collided again. Rosss trouser feet were cut instantly, and a blood mark appeared on his skin. I still cant resist Sensing that his Armament Haki and the power of distortion still could not completely block Shikis sword attack, Ross looked calm and after several feuds with Golden Lion, he whispered. Distortion sonic burst! Its hard for the same trick to work twice in front of the top powerhouses, but different tricks are different. Golden Lion didnt realize that Ross had so many strange tricks and he was caught off guard. His ears Buzzed and his mind shook violently. Originally, he already had a problem of half of the rudder inserted in his head. At this time, he was attacked by a sonic attack by Ross, which immediately caused old injuries to resurface and for a time his entire mind went blank. Bang! Ross punched and the power of distortion slammed on the Golden Lion Shikis chest. The intense pain made Shiki instinctively use Armament Haki to resist the attack, but he still spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward. Coughcough! This bastard Golden Lion was hit hard and although his eardrums were still ringing, he finally regained some consciousness, He kicked and swept without hesitation and produced several sword energies tangentially in front of him, blocking Rosss subsequent offensive attack. CHAPTER 175 MOMENT OF LIFE AND DEATH Shiki looked at Ross who broke through his sword energy and continue to rush in. Golden Lion Shikis eyes showed a trace of blood and in such a situation, whether he or Ross, had already made their final decision and all kinds of recruitment ideas had been thrown behind his head. You are dead! Zanei! Shikis feet swing fiercely and his sword-arts were fully displayed by him, A cross-shaped golden sword energy shot towards Ross. Just as Ross evaded the sword energy, Shiki stormed down, swinging his two swords in tandem, launching a series of fierce attacks. Distortion Fist! With his Maximum Values Physical Enhancement and the Tenacious Talent, even if his Armament Haki is not strong enough, Ross is not afraid of Shikis melee attack and facing hard blows of Golden Lion Shiki. But in the face-to-face tactics, Golden Lion Shiki suddenly burst out with powerful momentum and a violent Haoshoku Haki fierce pressed on Ross. The Haoshoku Haki, which forced Ross out of Spirit Heart, had a huge impact on his Observation Haki! Rosss face changed. Its impossible that he alone is the only one who has tricks like Distortion and sonic booms. Golden Lion Shikis Haoshoku Haki created the biggest trick and impacted Rosss Haki. When his Observation Haki was seriously affected, Ross could not immediately recover and capture Golden Lions actions, so he had to go all out to implement the power of distortion and hit the whole front area. Golden Lion suffered a lot of injuries when he was affected by both light and sonic booms. What would happen if he is seriously affected? Things are bound to get worse! A duel with a swordsman like Golden Lion Shiki is more dangerous than a fight with a Marine Admiral because in many cases, life and death and victory or defeat are almost instantaneous events. While releasing the power of distortion, Ross did not hesitate to whisper in his heart, System, Activate a Talent of General Branch Rock! Rock! This is the second branch capability under General Department Physical Enhancement. If Tenaciouss character is to greatly enhance stamina and resilience, then this Rock Talent greatly enhances the defensive capacity of the body! Since the Physical Enhancement has reached Maximum Value, the Rock Talent immediate activation with 50 proficiency points and reached Mid Level Strengthening state, which directly increases Rosss physical strength by a large margin! At the next moment. Sneer! Golden Lion Shiki seized the opportunity and swept with a fierce sword attack which cut Rosss power of distortion directly and cut between Rosss chest and abdomen area by directly piercing his Armament Haki, leaving a deep bloody mark on Rosss body instantly! If Ross had not temporarily activated the RockTalent and the strength of his skin and flesh had been greatly enhanced, it would have been impossible to escape the fate of a broken stomach without being split in half. Faced with sword arts, life and death are almost instantaneous! Not good. Not far away from Ross on the ship, Law, Robin and others saw this scene and their faces changed. Fighting in the Sky with Golden Lion Shiki is unfair for Ross. Float-Float Fruits ability to float an object after touching it, which is almost Eternal and unrestricted. And Ross has to control the ship so it would remain floating in the sky and it required a constant power to do so which is distracting to Ross! Treinta Fleur(Thirty Profusely Blooming Flowers)! Robin blinked and took a deep breath and she used her ability. Golden Lion Shiki, who was trying to continue his assault, suddenly had countless arms appear on his body, twisted and tightened him in an instant, curbing his next move and his reaction. The Battle between Ross and Golden Lion, even a single detail can have a huge impact and Robin, who disregarded injury to herself, broke the game again in an instant. Bang! Rosss power of distortion hit Golden Lion Shiki fiercely, Causing Golden Lion to fly upside down again, bleeding into mist and falling towards the clouds. Although Robin quickly regained her ability which contained Golden Lion Shiki, she was still affected by Rosss power of distortion. Her Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) arm, which was transformed into the body, was also affected. A pair of white and tender arms were instantly filled with bruises and redness. ROOM! Law took a look at Robins injuries and directly transferred his medical box from the cabin with his ability and immediately began to treat Robin. Ross who is battling against Golden Lion Shiki has recovered his Observation Haki. Naturally, He also perceived Robins injuries. Anger flashed through his eyes and Spirit Heart start again and he rushed towards Golden Lion Shiki. His chest and abdomen were severely damaged and he was almost ripped open. He could only squeeze with the strength of his muscles and rely on Tenacious talent to let flesh and blood grow slowly, which seriously affected his strength. However. Golden Lion Shiki is no better condition than him! His Distortion Fist is not so easy to bear, especially in the case just now, Robin forcibly intervened in Battle at the expense of receiving injuries on her own, resulting in Shiki getting more serious injuries! Damn it! Golden Lion Shiki coughed violently, At least two ribs in his chest were broken and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth. Looking at Ross, his eyes also showed a trace of madness. For a pirate, especially for a big pirate like him who had encountered many life-and-death situations, He had fought legendary pirates like Roger and Whitebeard alone many times, but so far, no one was able to kill him! Bang! Bang! Golden Lion was hit hard and it seriously affected his strength. Every time he collided with Ross, the injuries on his body got worse and blood continued to spill from his mouth. Ross also got more and more injured in each confrontation and the wound on his chest and abdomen that just got healed after a little bit of granulation was torn again, this type of flesh and blood tear pain, No average person can stand it even for a few seconds without fainting. Its not good to go on like this Looking at the battle situation in the distance, Laffitte and other people showed anxiety on their faces. It was difficult for them to get involved in this kind of Battle. Robin had the right to intervene because of the particularity of her ability and the consequence was that her arm was seriously injured and had to be treated for a long time. As for the others, Even if Kaku and Jabra used Gepp (Moonwalk) to rush towards the battle, they would be rushing towards their death, they wouldnt even be able to resist Shikis sword energy. And as for him. On the one hand, the power gap between him and Ross or Golden Lion Shiki is huge, on the other hand, Ross and Golden Lions Battle is too entangled, and it is difficult for him to get involved. Robins arm is now being treated by Law, the only one other then Robin who could intervene in the battle using his abilities and even then his ROOM may not even work at this distance be available. Bang! Bang! As the air exploded, Ross and Golden Lion Shiki fought a bloody battle. Their thoughts had changed from an initial indifferent encounter to a bloody rage that threatened to kill each other. CHAPTER 176 LIMIT SURGERY As their injuries worsened, it was hard to see who would fall first, a voice of Den Mushi came from Golden Lion. Puru-Puru-Puru-Puru The voice of Den Den Mushi brought Ross and Golden Lion, both of whom were fighting, to a pause. Huu Huh Ross gasped violently and his eyes flashed as he judged the situation. Although the pain made it hard to think, he could still keep a little calm with Spirit Heart. If he continued to fight, Both of them will be buried here no matter who will win. It is not worthwhile for him to continue fighting with Shiki. Golden Lion Shiki calmed down for a moment and reached the same conclusion as Ross. For him, it was unacceptable and ridiculous to fight against someone who is as strong as him and he is from the younger generation. He is the legendary pirate who once fought against Whitebeard and Roger, Is his strength similar to a junior? Silence. Golden Lion Shiki reached into his arms and connected the Den Den Mushi in his pocket. As soon as Den Den Mushi got through, there came a very anxious voice: Shiki Sama, theres a storm in the south Please come back and transfer the island direction soon! Golden Lion repressed his anger and did not reply. Instead, he stared at Ross in the distance. Two seconds later, he murmured, Ghost boy, I remember you! I will also remember this and sooner or later I will defeat you, Golden Lion Shiki. Ross looked coldly at Shiki and it was unexpected that such a situation would happen. Especially, Robin who was seriously injured. The function of her arms was important for Robin. Even if she could recover, it would mean that Robin would be in a state of self-recovery for a long time to come. Golden Lion Shiki glanced coldly at Ross and his figure suddenly crossed an arc and flew toward the distant island, and controlled the island to move in the direction with no storm. At the same time. Ross glanced at Shiki indifferently and flew back to the Ship. Law was ready and as soon as Ross returned to the ship, he came over and examined Rosss chest and abdomen wounds with a heavy face. Captains vitality is amazing. This kind of continuous healing and tearing wound, If it was any other ordinary person, I am sure he or she would have died several times over. The examination revealed that Rosss wound was serious, but he was recovering slowly because of his strong vitality. Law breathed out and his eyes flashed. It seems that such a serious wound does not even need to be stitched. It only needs disinfection and dressing. It is also an incredible thing for him. However. He had already seen his Captains vitality before and he was not very shocked. While disinfecting Rosss wound, he took out a bandage and dressed it. Ross allowed Law to bandage his wounds while looking at Robin not far away, saying: How is Robins hand? Ive dealt with the congestion and the damaged part needs to be repaired. My ability can handle the details. Law quickly bandaged Rosss wound and responded quietly to Ross. For other doctors, It would be impossible for them to treat the arm affected by the power of distortions, but Law can use Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits special ability to completely decompose the whole arm, remove all congestion, and do a bit of processing, then finally re-join the arm. Law can treat Luffys penetrating chest wound so Robins arm wounds can definitely be healed, but it will take a long time to recover completely. Robin has no Tenacious talent and it will take at least a month or two for her to completely recover. Listening to Law, Ross nodded and went towards Robin not far away. You dare to attack at that moment You are quite bold. Now Robin is sitting in a deck lounge chair, her arm has been temporarily separated by Laws Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit, but the pain can not be separated or be transmitted. She did not show any painful expression and said with the usual calm manner: If anything happens to Captain, we would have all fallen down from here. On the one hand, this sentence is saying that losing the control of Ross, everyone will fall down to the blue sea together with the ship, on the other hand, it is saying that the status and achievements of the current Ghost Hand Pirates are all tied to Ross. If anything happens to Ross, The bounty of a billion berries and their chance of becoming the next emperor will all disappear and they will fall back to blue sea not far from the throne of the sky. As for whether there is a third meaning, nobody knows. At least Ross cant see anything in Robins manner. Ross looked at the table next to him and shook his head as he looked at the fully decomposed fingers, skin, flesh, and bones separated using the Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits,He put his hand gently on Robins shoulder. Have a good rest. Ill ask Kalifa to take care of you. Under Rosss control, the ship soon flew over the White Sea. Three days have passed since the fight with Golden Lion Shiki, during which Law has been treating Robins arm injuries almost continuously. Only his Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit can decompose and heal this serious Distortion contusion from any section. Robin, who is temporarily unavailable to use both of her arms, lives with Kalifa for the time being. Kalifa takes care of her most of the time, and Ross often passes by. Robins indifferent personality did not shame her when her hands were unusable and she needed to be fed. Only when Kalifa left and Ross helped her eat, did she show little feelings, but only a little. Other than that. Bath and toilets are also handed over to Kalifa and nothing strange happened, which made Robin smile a little when nobody was around. Thats almost all In Laws medical room, Law is doing the final treatment for Robins arm, which was in a tragic state before, and now they have almost recovered. Most of the flesh and bones have been reassembled by Law. Because Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits ability is similar to the concept of space, and its nature is very special, any object that is cut and reassembled will be as seamless and perfect as before. So. The reconnection of the assembled bones and muscles is almost the same as before. CHAPTER 177 * You have been working hard. Ross is standing nearby, watching Law do the final healing and stitching work. His wounds have almost completely healed in three days. As for Robin, this is just the second step. In fact, reassembly is the most difficult part, because before, Law decomposed almost all the damaged areas into the limit that he can control. This is not a jigsaw puzzle. Every inch of flesh and bones should be restored to their original position without any deviation. Its Nothing, This is my main job as a doctor. Once again, Law examined it carefully to make sure that there were no major problems. After closing the outer skin, two arms appeared on the operating table, which still looked bruised and swollen, but their interior was no longer in the same messy situation as before, which was impacted by the power of distortions. The three-day operation is over. After finishing the final work, Laws forehead also overflowed with cold sweat, This is the first time for him to exert his medical skills to the utmost. In this case, it would be fine to send for Robin. Ross looked at the two arms on the operating table and said, I am still not used to seeing this scene even though I have already seen your abilities many times. There is no trace of cutting on the arm, which is also the perfect feature of Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit. As long as it is cut by Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits ability, there is no need for stitching at all, as long as it is cut by his abilities, it will be restored as before. Law took off his medical gloves and wiped the sweat on his forehead. Yes, but its still necessary to wear a bandage. Follow-up recovery is also important. Some internal injuries cant be cured directly. It takes time. It should take one to two months. Lets go. Ross nodded and with one finger, the whole table was suspended in the air silently. Law brought medical kits and bandages and other items and followed Ross to Robins and Kalifas rooms. In the room. Kalifa, carrying a pot of tea, gently poured tea in a cup and handed it to Robin and said, Didnt you ever think about what would happen if your arm couldnt be cured? For your Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi), the hand should be the most important thing. Kalifa adjusted her glasses on her nose and her eyes flashed: Losing your hand means losing your ability. For a ship, it is equivalent to losing its function. Robin gently smiled and said, In that case, you cant think about so many things. As for what happened Its already happened. It doesnt make sense to think too much, does it? Kalifa sighed softly. When she worked for the government, she had seen too many times how people were immediately and ruthlessly obliterated by the government. Especially for the intelligence staff, once they became obsolete, there was only one end, that is, to die. Robins injury is very serious. Although Law is sure that it can be cured, there is still a chance that it couldnt be cured. You can see it really. Hehehe Robin gently smiled, and there was a faint glow in her eyes. A long time ago, she would not have worried about such a problem, even in a dangerous situation, she would not choose to make a move, but would choose to protect herself and escape. When did it start, she recognized this crew and Ross as her Captain? It wasnt when she first met Ross. At that time, she just wanted to change her hiding place. Just then, a knock came from the door. Kalifa put down her cup, went to the door, opened the latch, and admitted Ross and Law in. How do you feel? Ross walked in and came over to the table in front of Robin, using the Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits ability to divide the arms and shoulders and although they were in a separate state, even at a great distance, they were conscious. Robin sat there looking at Ross and smiled slightly and said, I am Okay. Although the repair is basically completed, it has not yet been completely cured. Next, you should pay attention to not using your fruit power and try not to do any movements with your hands and arms. Law walked over with the medical kit and warned Robin. Soon. Re-attaching the arm after three days, there was no accident, but her arms hanging there with a bandage seemed very strange and affected Robins beauty. After completing the medical work, Law reminded her a few more times, then left the room with the medical box and closed the door, leaving only Ross, Robin, and Kalifa. How long are you going to watch this messy look? After Law left, a moment later, Robin asks Ross next to her while looping her head. Ross touched his nose and laughed, You dont look so embarrassed How are you feeling now? Much better than before. Robin responded as even Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits ability to separate her arms from her shoulders is quite odd for her, but shes also a Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) user who can adapt to any situation, but in the end, shes more used to this. Ross nodded and went to the window and glanced at the white clouds outside the window. He said, We will reach Birka in a few days, We will stay there until you recover. Ross turned around and said, By the way, do you need to go to the toilet? I can help Robin: In her heart, she silently retracted her previous evaluation of her own Captain. Now. The world governments CP0 organization is in turmoil, starting with the inexplicable loss of two members in the North Blue Ghale kingdom as a result of the pursuit of the original CP9 traitor. This alone makes the government and CP0 very vigilant. CP9 knows many secrets of the government. Now it has not only betrayed the government but also seems to be associated with a powerful force that can kill two members of CP0. This is not good news. Other than that. About the tenryubito Mjosgards Vivre Card, it is also continuously shifted the direction in a short period of time and finally even began to slant upwards, pointing to the sky, so now CP0 took a few circles around some area and found nothing. And most importantly, the Vivre Card pointed towards the direction of North Blues Ghale kingdom, which may be coincidental, but if not coincidental, it shows that CP9 traitors are in the company with those who secretly imprisoned Mjosgard. The World Government attaches great importance to this and has issued an order to rescue Mjosgard, ensure the safety of Mjosgard and demand that CP9 traitors be eradicated as soon as possible. A few days later. Rosss ship arrived at the Sky Island Birka. Although it has been a long time since they visited here, Rosss influence is still here, as well as the deep hypnosis effect of Laffitte. In the palace in the center of Birka, the chief came out with a delicate wooden box, bowed to Ross, handed it over and said, We have found what you are looking for. Oh? Ross took the wooden box and gently opened it, a Devil Fruit with lightning ripples was lying in the middle of the wooden box. Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit, one of the closest fruit with invincible abilities! CHAPTER 178 BIG GIANTS He thought it would go through many twists and turns, but he didnt expect that it would be so easier to get it than he thought. His memory of the world is enough to grasp what the world is heading for. To be able to reach this point today is because of the existence of the system is on the one hand, and his grasp of the direction and context of the world is another aspect. Without Robins intelligence, he would not have been able to hunt down pirates so quickly and smoothly. Without Laffitte as a navigator, he would have to spend a lot of time navigating and would have been much weaker than he is now. He might not have been able to get through Aokiji. It finally fell into my hands. Looking at this Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Ross muttered softly. If it had been before, he would have been very happy, but because of Robins affair, he had no feeling of happiness or anything like that. He just accepted Rumble-Rumble Fruit plainly. Good job. After appreciating the chiefs and the priests, Ross stepped into the palace with Robin and others. This palace was built later, making the Sky Island Birka a stronghold similar to the base camp. With Rumble-Rumble Fruit from the chieftain and metal attribute fruit, the preliminary formation of the Giant Regiment is near at hand. Ross stayed at Birka for a week. After Robins hands recovered a little, they left Birka and went to Bluesea with Laffitte. After finding the Giant Pirates, they took five of them to Sky Island. For the five giants like Hajrudin, it was the first time that they had landed in the sky. In a huge courtyard with White Island clouds, Hajrudin and five other giants were sitting there, while Ross was standing in front of them, putting two fruits in front of them. This is Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit, one of the strongest Devil Fruit, and Paramecia metal attribute fruit, which is also very good Devil Fruit. Ross looked up at Hajrudin and others and said calmly, These two fruits are now given to you, and I will use your strength in the near future. Hajrudin and others looked at the two Devil Fruits and couldnt help but show some shock. Although Ross said before that it would soon be possible to find a stronger Devil Fruit to build the Giant Regiment, they didnt expect it to be so fast, and one of the fruits wasThunder Logia fruit! Self-turning into lightning, A Devil Fruit which can control the lightning! There are no new crew members and you are the most suitable users. Ross, speaking calmly to Hajrudin and others, said, However, using these two Devil Fruits means that you will experience numerous cruel Battles in the future. If you dont pay attention, you will probably die on the battlefield. Its up to you to decide whether you want to be a fighter or not. Kaku hasnt eaten a Devil Fruit yet, but people in CP9 are better suited for intelligence. If Rumble-Rumble Fruit is used by Kaku, it means that Kaku will become the main Battle force and board the ship, so that the already weak intelligence link will be weakened again. Besides. The price of eating these two fruits is that there will be countless bloody and cruel Battles. Next, whether its against Doflamingo or Four Emperors, They have to fight! Giants are all fearless fighters. Hajrudin looked at the two Devil Fruits, and after a few seconds of silence, he looked at Ross with a fearless look in his eyes. Will the Giants admit that they are not soldiers? Its impossible! The status of a soldier is the glory of every giant! As for the cruel Battle and the bloody battlefield, for a real fighter, its not a bloody field, but a paradise! I swear in the name of Elbafs fighter that I will sweep away all the enemies for you! Hajrudin did not refuse. He picked up Rumble-Rumble Fruit, took the giant oath with great seriousness, and swallowed Rumble-Rumble Fruit down. The giant race will strive to fulfill even ordinary promises. As for the oath, unless they are dead, they will always fight for him! Crack! After eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, An electric arc started from Hajrudins hair. The nearby Law and Stansen were forced to retreat to the distance. That lightning-like light, from his head, began to spread all the way to his feet and eventually covered him in thunder and lightning and turned his body into a body of thunder! Thunder Giant Hajrudin is born! Crack! Lightning continued to shine wrapping Hajrudin and causing his huge body to fly up, His black hair has become a white thunderstorm as they flew up. Without knowing how long it took, Hajrudin gradually adapted to this power, He slowly dissipates the power of thunder and lightning and fell back, His fists fell to the ground, kneeling at Ross on one knee. Ross watched calmly. In the future, you will be one of the glories of Elbuff for hundreds of years to come, Thunder Giant Hajrudin. The remaining second metal attribute fruit eventually falls on Shipwright Stansens head. As Shipwright, using metal attribute fruit is naturally more like a fish in the water. Gudu! After swallowing metal attribute fruit, Stansens hair changed from black to silver grey and spread all the way to his roots. His skull had a metallic luster which spread all the way to his feet. Stansens body quickly turned into a pool of liquid silver metal, scattered all over the ground, and then quickly coalesced. Stansen stood up, raised his arm, and turned one arm into a huge silver hammer, pointing to the sky. Metal Giant Stansen Is born! This is the end. Thunder Giant Hajrudin, Metal Giant Stansen, and the Sand Giant Road have all been born. Among them, Road is already familiar with Sand Sand Fruits ability. He is much better at using it than the previous user. He can even make solid armor out of sand that can withstand bullets and cannonballs. Thank you for your gift. Stansens giant hammer of the wrist was restored to its original state. Like Hajrudin, Stansen performed the most solemn rituals of a giant race towards Ross. Ross nodded and said: The three fruits of thunder, metal, and sand are all very suitable for your giants abilities. In the next period, I want you to stay in the Sky island and exercise the abilities of these three fruits And Ill teach you something else. I will obey your orders. The Giants like Hajrudin echoed. Ross stood in his place, standing with his hands on his shoulders, and said gently, Well Lets start now, Goldberg and Gerth step back a little. Goldberg and Gerth nodded and retreated to the distance. As they retreated about 100 meters away, Ross raised his hand slowly and suddenly flashed into the air, punching Hajrudin. Battles are the best way to train! Especially for those with logia and special Paramecia abilities like Hajrudin, they cant be hurt without the use of Armament Haki, and Ross can use them as sandbags. The battle with Golden Lion Shiki made Ross feel a sense of crisis. Although he could escape from any Admirals hands, he can only escape. Any little accident could lead him into a huge crisis. Strength. He must continue to improve his strength! Until he can really be equal to an Admiral or even beat an Admiral! CHAPTER 179 1 VS 3 Bang! Rosss fist fell and Hajrudins huge body broke into a thunder and lightning. Stansen and Road were stunned, but they were both giants who had undergone countless battles. They were almost three times as old as Ross and they responded instantly Captain, be careful! Stansen growled and manipulated the unskilled metal attribute fruit and suddenly his arm turned into a silver-shining metal sword, which slammed towards Ross. The strength of the metal produced by metal attribute fruit is related to the body and as a giant whose body is much stronger than that of ordinary human beings, the metal produced by using this fruit is naturally extremely hard. Kch! Ross punched with his backhand and the power of distortion burst out. The metal sword was stiff in the air for a second, which resulted in dense cracks and it finally broke apart. Road was hesitating in joining hands with Stansen and Hajrudin. He saw Ross break Stansens metal sword by his punch. At the moment, he shouted loudly. His entire body expanded instantly from a giant 30 meters high to a terrifying shape nearly 50 meters high. The sands were flying all over the sky, and in his body, they condensed into horrible armor of sand, He looked like an enlarged version of Road! Roads hands were empty and the sand condensed and turned into a huge spear of sand. With a shout, he through it towards Ross. Rosss face remained unchanged and he replies with a backhand punch. Bang! The Power of distortion is fully unleashed and Roads sand spear is broken. Just then, a thunderbolt suddenly swept from one side as Hajrudins body turned into a flash of thunder and he punched Ross at an almost unbelievable speed and the thunder roared. Ross Observation Haki is operating at full efficiency and he had already entered the Spirit Heart state, but his brows are still wrinkled as he cant evade this attack. Rumble-Rumble Fruit is the same as Glint-Glint Fruit in terms of speed. It allows speed to reach the upper limit of consciousness directly. But unlike Kizaru, Hajrudin is a giant. His punch is not only fast but also covers a large area. Even when he perceives the trajectory, it is difficult to avoid it. Bang! Among the three devil fruits, The thunder fruit is still the strongest. Even if Hajrudin had just got Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the lightning punches were continually intertwined with Ross power of distortion in the air. Rosss eyes flashed violently. The Power of distortion erupted and defeated Hajrudins fist, Ross grabbed the thunder and lightning with both hands. Crack! The sky-thunder net was pulled by the power of distortion and instantly turned into a Distortion Thunderball in his palm. It was held by his right hand in one hand and he pressed it directly to Metal Giant Stansen. Metal should be restrained by thunder and lightning, but thunder and lightning cannot cause any real damage to Stansen, It will just paralyze his body for a moment. The Giant of sand! Once again, Road made a bold move. He grasped a huge yellow sand blade with both hands and swung at Ross. The whole cloud burst all the way in an instant and was torn open and it created a huge crack. Compared with the other two, he has the Sand Sand Fruit for some time now and as a giant fighter, he naturally keeps developing his capabilities. Not bad. Seeing the power of this attack, Ross nodded slightly, He kicked out and stepped on the crack in the yellow sand that had broken down all the way. The Power of distortion broke out, instantly curbing its tear. Stansen saw the situation, his arm turned into a huge blade and once again he swept it towards Ross. Crack! Hajrudin rushed over again and he imitated Road as he held his hands high and the thunderbolts broke up all over the sky, turning into a thunder axe, which he held in his hand and threw it towards Ross. In an instant, Thick lightning covered the entire courtyard instantly. Due to the inaccurate control of Hajrudin, even Gerth was covered in the attack. Zizi! The thunder and lightning had an impact on Stansen. Because of the conductivity of the metal, the thunder was attached to Stansens metal sword and it cut down irresistibly against Ross. Ross folded his arms on his chest and they were surrounded by dark Armament Haki as he resisted Stansens sword, while the power of Distortion was stretched out, blocking thunderstorms from the sky. The Thunder and the metals full blow, even he had to fight while giving his all. It seems that youve all adapted well. Zizi! Hajrudin scattered the thunder and lightning because Gerth and Goldberg were also shrouded in the range and were electrified by his thunder and lightning, but both of them were powerful giants and only suffered some small injuries and their hairs got erected. Ross also dispersed to the Power of Distortion and he stood in the field looking at Hajrudin and the other three giants, and said calmly, These three fruits, either Logia or Paramecia comes with a special constitution, The Paramecia fruit have the ability of elements similar to Logia. However, even with the elementalization of Logia, there is still a weakness, that is, Armament Haki which can negate the elementalization and directly attack your physical body and I did not use Haki just now. When they heard Ross, Hajrudin and others were all looking at each other. Ross watched as Gerth and Goldberg had retreated farther. He stood in the field and looked up at Hajrudin and others. He said gently: Next, I will use Haki. Hajrudin and others took a deep breath and showed a sense of war. They did not show any fear. As giants, there was no fear at all. Whiz! Rosss figure suddenly flashed into mid-air and he raised his hand and punched Road. Road has not dissipated the armor of the sand. Under Rosss fist, the armor of sand outside his body cracked inch by inch by the power of Armament Hakis and the power of distortion and caused him to fly out. However. Despite being flying out by Rosss punch, the armor of sand offsets most of the damage, and the giants physique is much stronger than that of ordinary people. This punch is like a punch thrown in a fight between two ordinary people, although the punch is painful but it does not have a strong effect. And more importantly, for Logia users, this armor of sand can be regenerated indefinitely! Logia has the ability to elementize. Flexibility is a development direction, but corresponding to it, the ability to manufacture and control the element indefinitely can also be developed in another direction Thats pure power! It seems that you have found a way to deal with Haki users. Ross thought Roads armor of sand was interesting before, but now it looks more and more interesting. Even if the enemy can break his armor of sand by using Armament Haki, he can regenerate it indefinitely with only one thought. Unless its a very strong attack that can destroy the armor of sand at the same time, and severely injure his tough body, it wouldnt mean much to him. Ross had just punched using sixty percent of his power and Road only flew back without any serious injuries to his body. If Road continued to develop this fruit and then enhanced some of the strength and the defense of the armor of the sand, even the existence at the level of Doflamingo would be hard pressed to take him down in a short time. CHAPTER 180 POWER OF THUNDER Whiz! Rosss figure flashed again as he charges towards the Metal Giant Stansen and he volleyed a series of punches on his body without giving Stansen any time to react. Stansen growled and the silver-colored metal surged, turning into a steel shield, blocking him. Rosss remote power of distortion hit the extremely heavy steel shield and broke it. Roar! Hajrudin didnt wait passively and after Ross punched Stansen, he roared and the Rumble-Rumble Fruits ability broke out. The whole area was like a thundering sea. The thunder and lightning surged in this area, covering the area of hundreds of meters in a circle. Faced with Hajrudins wide-ranging indiscriminate attack, Ross blinked and stretched the Wall of Distortion, prevented thunder and lightning from invading his body as he rushed toward Hajrudin. Ross wonders whether the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is the reason for this tremendous increase in perception, or whether Hajrudin is better than others in that area as he perceives Rosss movement and when Ross punched him, he also punched back at the same time. Crack! The thunder gathered in the sky and turned into a thunderstorm Dragon. It hit Ross and the thunder and the power of distortion collided in the air, and finally the burst apart. The thunder and lightning filled the area, showing Rosss figure in the air. At this time, Ross still maintained a punching posture. He slowly recovered his fist and gave a sigh of relief. Not bad. He did not intend to exert all his efforts just now, but the power of thunder was still strong enough to almost break through his wall of Distortion. So he had to break out with all the power of distortion, which completely annihilated the thundering current in the void. Seeing that Hajrudin and others still want to continue, Ross waved his hand to stop the three. Thats about it for now. Next, you will practice each other. If you are free, I will teach all of you the use of Haki. Even Kung Fu Dugongs can use Armament Haki. The Giants are naturally even better than human at using it. Haki is the potential of all life in this world. Ross speculated. Hajrudin with Rumble-Rumble Fruit will be very good at Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, while Metal Giant Stansen will mostly be good at Armament Haki. After learning to combine his Armament Haki with metal, His attack and defense will probably surge to an amazing degree. As for Road with his armor of sand, a means he has explored himself is more important than Haki. If he can make a giant soldier of sand hundreds of meters in shape than he will be very strong, Haki is meaningless in the face of absolute strength and shape. Quickly. Road and Stansen are fighting in this huge courtyard, while Ross teaches Hajrudin the details and practices of Observation Haki. Ross used the Light Distortions ability to close Hajrudins vision and then he launched attacks on him from every direction in the dark, allowing Hajrudin to sense and dodge. This way, Wrong! Bang! This time its on the top of the head. Your reaction is slow! Bang! Since Hajrudin is a Thunder Giant, as long as his opponent doesnt use Armament Haki, They will not be able to defeat him, so Ross is training him on Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki and uses Hajrudin as a fixed sandbag, constantly punching him. Before Rosss understanding of Kenbonshoku(Observation) was not deep enough, It was even worse than that of Sky islanders, and teaching Robin the practice methods of Kenbonshoku(Observation) was too slow. Now, His Observation Haki is not weak even from the standards of the New World. His understanding of the Kenbonshoku (Observation) is far from being comparable but many details can be easily pointed out. Also. Rumble-Rumble Fruit, a Devil Fruit, does have a special bonus towards the Kenbonshoku (Observation). Like Enel whose Kenbonshoku (Observation) haki can cover an entire island. Normal people cant do it at all. Under the special addition of Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Hajrudin is learning very fast. In just seven days, he found some tricks, and ten days later, he could initially use Observation Haki, which was very weak, while Ross began to speed up the attack and continue to improve the difficulty. What is the concept of a giant with Rumble-Rumble Fruit? Or in other words. What is the effect of a giant with a faster speed than humans and at the same time that giant has Observation Haki, an extremely powerful attack power, and abnormal metamorphosis? The answer is that he is becoming more and more powerful and in getting more tune with his powers, just like the real Thor! Rumble-Rumble Fruit is indeed stronger than sand and metal fruits and it has more than one advantage. If Ross isnt short for Free Talent Points, he would be willing to trade 5 Free Talent Points for the ability to eat another Devil Fruit. According to the current acquisition rate of the Free Talent Points, he has to make a choice between the use of double devil fruit and the ability of Distortion space and time. In Rosss view, the branching ability of space and time is more valuable! Whats more. With 5 Free Talent Points, He can activate more powerful branching capabilities. Just like the large-scale Kenbonshoku (Observation) feature, it is not exclusive to Rumble-Rumble Fruit. It also has a corresponding talent in the Talent System. It is the talent Void under the agility branch, which only consumes 1 Free Talent Point. Naturally. Ross doesnt think this ability has any strong effect. He doesnt have the hobby of observing all the beautiful girls on an island at the same time. Half a month later. On the training ground, Hajrudin is confronting Road fiercely. The Thunder has little restraint on the sand. Moreover, Roads sand armor is strong enough and can be regenerated indefinitely. It is a big battle with Hajrudin. However, Hajrudins Ruble-Rumble Fruit is still stronger after all. Every punch and every move makes Road extremely depressed. Especially when Hajrudin manufactures his Thunder Axe or Thunder Hammer, Roads sand armor can be destroyed in a flash by those things. On the other side. Ross was standing there, With Armed Armament Haki on his arms as he continues to punch the metal shield in front of him that Stansen lifted. Bang! Bang! Bang! Under Rosss successive punches, the metal shield kept ringing with loud Bang sounds. While exercising Stansens Armament Haki, Ross is also exercising his own Armament Haki. He has become a little weaker in terms of Armament Haki and now that is dragging him back a little. Although Armament Hakis weakness is not very obvious with the powerful support of the Distortion Fruit, it is still there. Any detail weakness may be the key to success or failure when it comes to dealing with a top power like a Marine Admiral. Your Haki is too messy! Bang! Gather up and focus on it! Bang! Ross continues to punch on the shield and scattered Haki, which Stansen had gathered together, while Stansen had sweat stains on his forehead, which made it difficult to control Hakis convergence on the shield. Giants are stronger than humans. They also have a distinct advantage when practicing Haki, but it also raises another problem, that is, they are too big and Armament Haki is more difficult to control for them. All in all. Its not much different from human practice. CHAPTER 181 CP0 Chief Not far from Birka, a ship approached slowly, with a peculiar flag hanging on it, a cross of five circles. There is almost no one on the blue sea who wouldnt recognize this flag because it represents the ruler of the world, the upper power of MarineWorld Government! This is Sky Island On the deck of the ship, a CP0 member wearing a white cloak and wearing a white ceremonial hat was standing there, staring at the Sky Island Birka. Next to him, four other CP0 members were also standing. The direction of Vivre Card pointing is here, Theres no mistake, Saint Mjosgard is here and CP9 traitors may be hiding here too. A CPO member with Vivre Card spoke quietly to the CP0 Vice Chief in front. Compared to the other nine organizations from CP1 to CP9, CP0s internal system is completely different, not only are they their top boss, but also the largest organization. CP1 to CP9 missions are almost always about exploring Intelligence, but CP0 has only one mission, that is, to serve tenryubito, always obey tenryubito, protect tenryubito. How many tenryuubito are there? Today, Holy Land has 19 tenryubito family names. Even a rough calculation will put their number to be more than 100 people. Ten or eight CP0s are obviously not enough to shelter the hundreds of tenryubito. So the organization of CP0 is huge, including not only the members promoted from CP1 to CP9 but also those talented people who have been brainwashed since childhood. Their number is larger than all the other intelligence organizations put together! They are one of the main forces of World Governance! CP0 is divided into ten units, each of which is headed by a Division-Captain, and on top of the ten Division Captain, there are Vice Chief and Chief, with great authority! How did CP9 traitors get involved with the Sky islanders? A CP0 member spoke in a low voice, with ruthless and indifferent eyes, but there was a little doubt in his voice. CP0 Vice Chief murmured, No, there must be something else involved in this matter. Two of our members were easily killed and there was not any news about that. This incident happens on the Ghale Kingdom and we didnt even know how they were killed As CP0 Vice Chief, he seldom goes out and spends most of his time on Mariejois, He is responsible for mobilizing CP0 to protect tenryubitos going out to the sea. This special trip to the Sky island was due to the unexpected death of two former members, and those who dared to kidnap a tenryubito must not be ordinary people. Anyway. Daring to kidnap tenryubito is already a capital offense. A member of CP0 stood there, looking coldly at Birka Island in the distance. Sky Island, Birka. A moment after the emergence of the World Government ship, the message reached Rosss ears. Knowing that kidnapping a tenryubito would lead to CP0, Ross could not be unprepared. Long ago, he had ordered Birkas patrol team to patrol the outskirts of Birka for 24 hours and report it as soon as they encountered any ship coming towards them. At the moment, Ross is sitting in the palace, holding a spoon in his hand, feeding Robin whose arm has not yet fully recovered. The ship of World GovernmentPrey got hooked. Rosss eyes glittered when he heard Kalifas report. Robin thought and murmured, Maybe its not that simple. The kidnapping of a tenryubito combined with the previous Ghale kingdom incident, The people coming this time may not be easy to deal with. Even if they are not easy to deal with, We have to at least try. Ross slightly smiled and handed the spoon to Robin, saying, The World Government cant send all the CP0s main force for a tenryubito. If a small number of troops want to rescue a Tenryubito from me, thats delusional. After feeding Robin another mouthful, Ross stood up and put the spoon in the bowl and said to Kalifa, Okay, come on, Ill take care of it. Yes. Kalifa nodded and went with him. Walking into the palace lobby, Laffitte and Law had already been waiting here, including the CP9 Kaku and Jabra. During this period Ross and the Giants were practicing, Kaku, Jabra, and others were not idle. They were also working hard and practicing. Several people made great progress. As Laffittes strength has reached a certain level, his growth has slowed down.With Laffitte and Kaku joining hands, they have been able to fight with him and fight back. Do we need to call the giants? Laffitte asked for Ross. Rosss eyes sparkled: Gerth and Goldberg are not needed. Let Hajrudin and others come. By the way, Call over the left and right priests. The purpose of this time is to annihilate them, dont let any of them go! The Left and right priests are the two most powerful Sky islanders of Sky island Birka at present. Because they are proficient in Observation Haki, they also have a certain strength. All right. Laffitte nodded with a smile and then his figure flashed and disappeared outside the palace. We will go first. Ross looked at Law and Kaku and said calmly, He walked out of the palace with them and walked towards the shore of Birka, and soon came to the east bank of Birka. The World Government ship was almost docked at this time and at the moment of landing, five figures on the ship flashed past and fell to the shore of the east coast. Then. The governments battle staff quickly lowered the rope ladder and came down one by one from the boat. A sense of oppression gradually spread over the Birka island. Dont hide there, come out! CP0 Vice Chief stood at the forefront, looking ahead, his eyes flashed and he suddenly spoke looking in one direction. When his voice fell, in the direction behind the white island cloud, Ross and Kaku and others slowly walked out and came toward them. Kaku calmly looked at his former boss, and the five members of CP0 and said: We just arrived. Its you who are sneaking around. Law was carrying the devils knife on his shoulder and looked calmly and indifferently at the people from the World Government. When seeing Ross and others come out, the faces of CP0 members slightly changed. As CP0 members, they recognized Ross and Law! So its you Ghost Hand Ross! The kidnapping of tenryubito was originally related to you. This Sky island seems to have become your territory, which is quite unexpected. Vice Chief of CP0 stared at Ross. Ross had killed a tenryubito in Sabaody Archipelago before, and he has already been listed on the elimination list of CP0. He has become one of their missions. Now it seems that instead of two missions, the three missions are combined into one mission! CP9 traitor clearance, rescuing tenryubito And the eradication of the Ghost Hand Pirates! There will be many things that you didnt expect. Ross stood on a soft Island cloud as he looks towards the CP0 members and said with a calm voice. One of CP0s Division Captain stood behind Vice Chief and said coldly, As long as you are exterminated, everything can be handled slowly. A CP0 member next to him glanced over the Ross and others and said, Is this it? It seems that your journey will end here! Ross only had four men on his side and this time they had five men in the main force alone, not to mention the hundreds of government subordinates who had come with them. And. Among the five of them, besides Vice Chief, there is another Division Captain! The three other will be enough to capture Kaku and Jabre the two CP9 traitors and the Surgeon of Death Law will be defeated by the Division Captain. As for the most powerful of them, Ross, their Vice Chief is also enough to deal with him and the Chief will not let him run away. This is a one-sided situation! Chapter 181 CP0 Chief CHAPTER 182 GOSHAWK FRUI Do it! CP0s Vice Chief decisively issued the order after judging the strength gap between the enemy and them. Now Demon Sherrif Laffitte and Devil Child Nico Robin are not here. He intends to make a quick decision and take down Ross quickly so as to avoid some extraneous problems. The rest of the CP0 members also know this point. Since The Sky Island has become Rosss territory, they may have to face Sky islands forces later. Although they also have hundreds of government elites and have the strength to defeat thousands of enemies themselves, In the end, it is better to avoid problems by making quick decisions. Whiz! Almost immediately after the order was issued, The five main members of CP0 charged towards their opponents, three of them went towards Law, Kaku, and Jabra, while Vice Chief jumped up and charges into Ross, his right foot suddenly turned into an eagle claw as it slammed toward Ross. Zoan bird-bird fruit, Goshawk form! Rosss face is expressionless as he punched back and the power of distortion bursts out. The air around them is stirring with the power of distortion and all the sky island clouds began to collapse by this power. CP0 Vice Chief instantly came under tremendous pressure as he faced Rosss punch, but he soon recovered and covered his entire body with Armament Haki to resist Rosss punch while his sharp Eagle claws touched Rosss fist. Zhe! Rosss fist instantly hardened, showing a dark Armament Haki shape. Although CP0 Vice Chiefs physique is extraordinarily strong with astonishing claw strength and even his Armament Haki is stronger than Ross, but under the impact of the power of distortion, most of this claw power was eliminated before it grabbed Rosss fist, although some sparks splash around but it could not leave any trace on Rosss arm. Blocked CP0 Vice Chief did not expect Rosss fist to be so hard. He thought that even if he could not penetrate Rosss fist, he could at least leave a serious wound on Rosss fist, but his claw could not break Rosss skin at all. Ross snorted and punched forward. Bang! CP0 Vice Chief could no longer resist Rosss power and he flew backward. In mid-air, his body suddenly turned into a giant hawk and after hovering a little, He turned into a form of half-eagle and half-human and rushed towards Ross. Are you the highest chief of CP0? It seems that your strength is only so-so. Ross watched the CP0Vice Chief rushing towards him indifferently. Instead of letting his opponent attack from above, Ross bent his hands and slanted them from the top left and the top right, staggering them in front of him. Distortion Net! The power of distortion cut through the Void as if space was instantly smashed. The staggering power of distortions forms a large net that directly covers the head of CP0 Vice Chief. Watching Ross use this trick to deal with him, CP0 Vice Chiefs eyes suddenly flashed with a touch of cold anger. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) Hawk strike! His eagles clawed feet kicked up fiercely, splitting several horrible chops in the air in an instant, intertwined with Rosss Distortion Net. CP0 Vice Chief sprinted forward with Armament Haki attached to his hands and tore apart the rigid invisible web. Shigan (Finger Gun)! He bent his fingers and his forefinger stretched out. The Armament Haki instantly wrapped around his finger and turned it into a steel-cast finger which slammed towards Ross. Rosss eyes were indifferent and he pointed out his backhand finger. Bang! Two fingers collided in the air, bursting out with their powers causing CP0 Vice Chief to fly backward by several meters and Ross also backed away, apparently, they were equal in this power contest! In this short encounter, Ross has almost understood the strength of CP0 Vice Chief. His strong body is almost comparable to Golden Lion Shiki in physique, His speed and Haki are also similar to him, but his attack power is weaker than Shiki. His attack powers are close to Aokiji or Kizaru, but still a little weaker. CP0 Vice Chief, who flew backward by several meters, steadily looked at Ross in mid-air and said, No wonder you can escape from a Marine Admiral with this power Ross didnt respond and rushed toward him. However. At this time, A Division Captain who has been on the sidelines has shot towards Ross. He judged that it is difficult for the Vice Chief to defeat Ross quickly. Even if the current situation is in deadlock, He may not win in the end. For the CP0, The mission completion is the most important thing and the process is not important, as long as Ross is defeated here, it will complete their mission. Tekkai (Iron Body), Heavy Fist! CP0 Division Captain is a purely physical body powerhouse. He walked to the side of Ross with Gepp (Moonwalk) and punched. His fist was covered with Armament Haki as it fell toward Ross. At the same time, CP0 Vice Chief is also rushing over. Rosss face remained unchanged and punched both sides. Buzz!! Two power of distortion, like a visible shock wave, burst out on both sides under Rosss fists and hit the Vice Chief of CP0 and The Division Captain. CP0 Division Captains strength is obviously weaker than the Vice Chiefs. He is weaker in both Haki and the body. Under Rosss attack, he immediately flew out. Qing! CP0 Vice Chief took advantage of the Division Captains involvement and broke through Rosss power of distortion and gripped Rosss fist once again. This time it also produced a spark and his claws broke through Rosss Armament Haki, but when he touched Rosss skin, he only left a white mark! How can it be?! CP0 Vice Chief had a look of surprise on his face. Before, he could not hurt Ross. Now, with the Division Captains involvement, he broke through Rosss Armament Haki but still failed to hurt the other party. This is somewhat surprising for him. Rosss Armament Haki is not strong, but his body and skin Tenacious levels are far beyond his expectations! Nothing is impossible. Rosss eyes were indifferent and his right hand snapped back and pulled at CP0 Vice Chiefs claw. The CP0 Vice Chiefs claws were retracted but he flipped in midair and slammed two punches at Ross and showcased Marines Rokushikis Tekkai (Iron Body) which covered his fist and it was also covered with Armament Haki. Ross crossed his arms in front of him and flew backward taking the chief with him. Bang! The Power of distortion broke out and hit the Vice Chief, dropping him from the sky and he suddenly broke into the thick island cloud. Maximum Value in Physical Enhancement, coupled with his Tenacious talent and Rock Talent, Rosss Armament Haki is much weaker than the Vice Chief, but his skin is blunt and almost non-human in power and durability! Whiz! Whiz! CP0 Division Captain and Vice Chief rose to the skies and again stormed toward Ross. CHAPTER 183 BEING TAKEN TO THE THRESHING GROUND During the brief confrontation, due to the involvement of the Division Captain, Ross was hit on the shoulder by Vice Chiefs Claw, but this claw only left three blood marks which swiftly healed. Rosss terrifying Tenacious skin and resilience made CP0s Vice Chief and Captain brow wrinkled. In this case, it is almost impossible to win against Ross in a short time. Light burst! Rosss eyes were cold and after getting his shoulder injured, he spits out a word. A bright light pierced the eyes of the Chief and Captain instantly. He rushed forward and went straight to CP0 Division Captain and punched him. The Division Captains eyes were still painful but he was able to sense Ross coming towards him and he folded his arms in front of him and covered them with Armament Haki and Tekkai (Iron Body) trying to resist, but he still fell from the sky. Bang! Bang! Bang! The Vice Chief responded much faster than the Division Captain did because he was a physically strong man, and his instinct for Close-Combat Fighting was much stronger than him. Even though his eyes were severely affected, The Vice Chief still responded to Rosss onslaught in a series of ways. The two men struggled in the air for a short time. Tobu Shigan Mitsubachi(Flying Finger Gun: Three Plectrums)! CP0 Division Captain once again rushed out from the island cloud. His clothes were broken and his figure looked beaten, but he was not seriously injured. His eyes narrowed and he attacked Ross. Ross could not resist the flying Shigan (Finger Gun) with his pure flesh. Without hesitation, he unleashed the wall of Distortion to resist the flying Shigan (Finger Gun) coming from behind, while he continues to attack CP0 Vice Chief. The effects of light burst and sonic boom have played an excellent role in dealing with Admiral such as Aokiji, but in the face of these two, the CP0 Vice Chief and Division Captain, who are only good at close combat, the effect is not as good as before. Thats what Ross expected. The Vice Chiefs strength is not much different from a Marine Admiral. In the case of one-on-one against him, it takes a long time to get the winner. If you add a slightly weaker Division Captain than the difficulty increases again. But. Because of the existence of the Rock and Tenacious talents, these two people who are almost purely physical attack types are not as powerful as the Golden Lion Shikis sword arts, they would also not win over him easily. Ross is stuck in a deadlock on one side, and in a short time, its hard to tell the winner from the loser, while the situation on the other side is gradually turning to the one-sided situation. You should be very clear about the consequences of betraying the government! One of the CP0 members looked at Kaku indifferently and kept attacking to defeat Kaku. Even though Kaku has improved a lot in the past half month on the Sky Island, before all of them could not defeat two CP0 members together, now he is fighting one on one and he cant defeat him alone. As for Jabra, the same is true. He can barely defend alone, but as time goes on, he will gradually lose. On the other side. Law is also fighting using his Devil Fruit ability. Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law, Ive read your information, you have eaten the Surgeon-Surgeon Devil Fruit, with this ability, if you are willing to work for the government, I can spare your life. Dont waste your breath! Law looked coldly at the CP0 member in front of him. Now. Hundreds of government elites have gathered on the shore on the governments Battleship, including Marine Rear Admiral-level figures, waiting for orders from the CP0. Do it! Be Quick! A CP0 member ordered, although the situation was clearly in their favor, the sooner Battle was over, the better, they also have to rescue a Tenryubito. Under the order of CP0, hundreds of government elites echoed with one voice and they all held their weapons. They surrounded the Ghost Hand Pirates with cold faces and joined forces with CP0 to completely defeat Kaku and others. But. Almost at this time, a handful of yellow sand suddenly spread from a distance, then turned into a terrifying wave as high as tens of meters, whistling over the entire coast. Sand?! The governments elite and CP0s members face changed slightly. Someone snorted and pulled out a sword from his waist and charged into the sand waves, slamming out a sword and smashing the sand waves that were tens of meters high. But. Before he could get happy, the yellow sand suddenly gathered behind him and shaped into a giant ten of meters tall which also had a sand soldier with him that fell down on him. The attacker got buried in the cloud and his life and death remain unknown. The audience was shocked. Road raised his hand to the sand soldier, opened his mouth and looked ahead at the elite government and CP0 members and his eyes showed the excitement of preparing for a big fight. Is this the Army of the World Government? I am from the new giant Pirates, the giant of the sand, Road! Come and try this! With his roar, the yellow sand gathered in the sky and turned into a huge armor of sand. With a terrible forty-meter-sand sword in his hand, he swept fiercely against the government member. Not good! CP0 members saw the situation and their faces changed, one of them gave up on pursuing Kaku and swiftly shifted his direction and kicked out that created a huge arc of energy that can withstand the huge sword of sand. The CP0 member frowned when a giant emerged with a Logia ability. Giant? They could get this kind of fighting powers after eating a Logia fruit?. But Thats not going to change your ending! That arc of energy blocked the giant sword of Sand, two of his companions are enough to deal with Kaku and Jabra and he can deal with this giant. But. Before he could attack, a silver steel double-edged battle-ax hovered over from a distance and smashed into the scene. Several government elites nearby did not even scream but were smashed into a mass of flesh by the huge battle axe. The huge battle axe liquefied rapidly and became a silver-shining metal, flowing in one direction and joined with the figure coming out of that direction. Thats a lot of people. Let me be your opponent! Metal Giant Stansen grinned, under the suns mapping, his teeth are filled with heart-rending terrifying metallic silver. When Stansen appeared, not only the three CP0 other Division Captains but also CP0 Vice Chief and The Division Captain, who were fighting with Ross were stunned. At their level of strength, They can naturally see how strong the two giants are, Their presence here almost completely leveled this completely one-sided battlefield! Another giant with Logia Powers? No, it should be a special Paramecia, how can such Battle force come into being The three other CP0 Captains are no longer as calm as they were before. As for the governments elite, the giant with an armor of the sand is terrible, the giant of the sand is tens of meters high and now there is another Metal Giant, all covered with metallic silver, There faces is full of cold sweat and they feel soft in their legs. One of the soldiers, holding the fire guns, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and whispered: There shouldnt be a third one. As soon as this sentence came out, there was silence all around him and dozens of people next to him all cast a terrifying look at him. Crack! As if to confirm his bad luck mouth, a ray of lightning condenses in the Void and turned into a full-body Thunderbolt, which is held in the hands of a giant with a height of dozens of meters. The giant came down from the sky with a battle axe wrapped in thunder and lightning and smashed it into the scene. The thunder and lightning instantly intertwined into a power grid and surged in all directions. Bang! Almost instantly, the elite forces of the World Government fell in pieces, and they had little resistance in front of the thunderstorm. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of government elites close to each other spat out black smoke and fall to the ground and a burnt smell slowly drifted away in a silent battlefield. CHAPTER 184 THE PRESTIGE OF GIAN The whole scene was silent, leaving only the sound of silk currents. Ross and the Vice Chiefs fight had stopped. Ross was suspended in mid-air, his slightly broken white overcoat fluttering gently in the wind, his eyes were calm and indifferent, without any surprise in them as if everything that had happened has been expected. Both CP0 Vice Chief and The Division Captains expressions have become extremely ugly. When Metal Giant and the Sand Giant appeared, There was still a possibility of fighting on their side, but when Hajrudin emerges with the force of thunder, it means that the two sides forces are completely reversed! We cant win withdraw! The CP0 Vice Chiefs frowned and judged the current situation and he came to the conclusion that it is almost impossible for them to win and he issued. But before his orders were conveyed, three more men appeared on the battlefield, namely the right and left magistrates of the Sky Island Birka and Demon Sherrif Laffitte. Here we are. Now its our turn. Ross calmly looked at the CP0 Vice Chief and many other government elites and his voice suddenly turned cold, which made people feel as if their bones were freezing, Let the fight begins, Dont let anyone leave here! Whiz! The moment his voice fell, Rosss figure suddenly flashed as he charged towards CP0 Vice Chief, His right hands five fingers were closed and the power of distortion was fully stimulated, He used his Armament Haki to the extream and punched his opponent. The Vice Chief was forced to parry the attack and his talons connected with Rosss fist. Qing! During the spark splash, The Vice Chiefs body was slightly sunken, while Ross turned his body, volleyed one leg and kicked it in the Vice Chiefs leg. The Vice Chief toppled over to one side, while his steel-like eagle wing swept toward Ross, waving a chop that tore the air. Rosss expressionlessly grabbed and held the wing attack in his hand and as if he had grasped a whip, he flicked it backward toward the CP0 Division Captain. Bang! CP0 Division Captain had intended to attack Ross, but he was swept away by Rosss counter-attack on the Chief and flew backward. On the way back, a white, lightning-shimmering axe slammed into his back. Armed Tekkai (Iron Body)! The Division Captains face changed dramatically and he was unable to avoid the coming strike and was forced to use Tekkai (Iron Body) and Armament Haki to cover his body to meet with Hajrudins thunderbolt axe. Bang! As a giant fighter, Hajrudins own strength is extremely strong. He can compete against the ten thousand ton weight attack used by Donquixote Family elite member with his physical strength alone. Now with the support of Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his strength is soaring. The axe fell, crushing the Armament Haki of the Division Captain and cutting his Tekkai (Iron Body) muscles and leaving a deep black blood groove behind his back. It hurts, this strong Because he is a strong pure physical body expert, CP0 Division Captain has not lost the Battle of strength yet. He fell into the island cloud, bounced up violently, gritted his teeth and looked at Hajrudin. He rushed out and came to Hajrudin, passing through with a note of Shigan (Finger Gun). Hajrudin was indifferent to it. His huge body suddenly turned into a thunder arc and he disappeared from the view. When he appeared again, he came behind the Division Captain and grabbed him in the palm of his hand. Lightning strike! Crack! Five extremely thick thunder currents, centered on Hajrudins huge palm, snapped apart, then suddenly closed-back, mercilessly intertwined in the center of his palm and the brilliant light pierced the peoples eyes who looked directly at it and blinded them for a moment. The Division Captain was still hit by thunder attack even with the full-body application of Tekkai (Iron Body) and Armament Haki, His clothes were broken and his hairs were completely burnt. Coughcough It was totally unexpected that Hajrudin, who was so huge in size, could still have that degree of speed and reaction. The Division Captain coughed violently and struggled hard to get out of Hajrudins palm. Vigorous fighter Hajrudin looked down at the Division Captain who is gasping violently and said, But Captain asked for total annihilation. As a soldier, its worth dying on the battlefield! Hajrudin turned his right hand and pressed his huge palm to the next and a terrifying thunderbolt several meters thick struck down again, causing countless people to be shocked. The giant who is in charge of thunder is like the God of thunder. The limelight is stolen by Boss Hajrudin. Road watched Hajrudin dealing horrible thunder strikes one after another and he could not help but grin as he stared at the elite soldiers of the government. He roared and his body started to get enlarged again, from fifty or sixty meters to seventy or eighty meters! The horrible armor of sand condenses in his outer body. His hands were raised and suddenly the sand gathers all over the sky, turning into a huge blade of sand in the air and he swept it down on the members of the government. What the Hell isDamn It! Is this hell?! The elite soldiers of the government watched this scene and all of them had a chill crawled on their backs, They had hardly fought in any war. In the face of dozens of giant sand soldiers whose widths exceeded several meters and whose lengths were nearly forty meters, few of them could resist falling from the sky! The huge blade of sand fell from the sky with a devastating blow and in a flash, this attack almost wiped out nearly 70% of the hundreds of government elites. The rest are either injured, or they barely have the strength to block the giant Sandman attack on them.You are rushing to get in the limelight faster then Hajrudin! Metal Giant stood nearby and watched the scene. He couldnt help speaking to Road, He was dealing with a Captain of the CP0 team at the moment. The CP0 captains weapon was a sword. After colliding with him one after another, he suddenly pulled him in front of him. The sword in his hand stabbed in the giants abdomen. However. Even with the Armament Haki coating the sword, it only penetrated a little bit of skin and only the tip of the sword was buried in the giants body. Compared with the giant body, the wound created by the sword tip cannot even be counted as an injury! As a special Paramecia metal attribute fruit user, His body can be turned into a liquid flow metal and can also be turned into a high-hardness body that is as strong as Seastone. The giants themselves are extremely strong and with a little Armament Haki covering their body, their defense has reached an appalling level. This attack Its a lot worse than Captains fist. The Metal Giant stared at the CP0 captain and snorted. The stabbed area suddenly liquefied, swallowing the other partys sword and spreading toward the other partys body. The CP0 Captain face changed dramatically, He did not expect this level of defense on Stansens body, He did not expect that the giant can harden his body to this degree. His sword was swallowed up and he is forced to retreat. CHAPTER 185 PUNCTURING Among the three giants, The Metal non-Logia Giant is the weakest, but as a giant whose original spirit is extremely strong, the power of metal attribute fruit is fully exerted by him. Thousand Metal Needles! The shouted angrily at the CP0 captain and his entire body suddenly liquefied into hundreds of sharp swords, all wrapped in silk Armament Haki, bursting out. For him, it was similar to a needle, but for ordinary human beings, the hundreds of needles were like sharp swords, like a dense rain of swords, covering the entire front. And. Each of these swords is equivalent to the full force of the giant! Armed Tekkai (Iron Body)! The face of the CP0 captain has changed dramatically. Because the attack coverage is too large, and the distance is too close and fast, he has no time to escape. He has to use Tekkai (Iron Body) and Armament Haki. Ding-Ding The dense rain of swords was like bullets from a gun and they struck him hard causing sparks to fly as he flew backward and then the sound of the piercing steel gradually appeared. Even though his armed Tekkai (Iron Body) was strong, it could not withstand the continuous intensive blows. His Armament Haki was gradually broken and the swords left bloodstains on him. Finally. When the swords finally stopped shooting like a bullet, The captain figure was backed by a hundred meters away from his original position. There were blood marks and blood holes all over his body. Although not deep but they were extremely frightening. Only at this level?" He looked coldly at the distance. His body was much shorter than the Metal Giant. He controlled the contraction of his skin and muscles and used Life Return (Seimei Kikan), forcing all the bloodstains and caves to stop bleeding. Still alive, I didnt expect you to survive this move. Stansen looked at the CP0 Captain and he said with an unchanged face, How about another one then? At the moment his voice fell, the swords that were scattered all over the place stood up instantly, surrounding the CP0 captain in the center and stormed towards him under the dramatic change of his face. On the other side. Laffitte teamed up with Law to defeat another CP0 Division Captain. As for the two priests, they joined forces with Kaku to completely suppress the last CP0 Division Captain. Jabra, on the other hand, pursued the elites of government who tried to escape from Road. It seems that my subordinates are still stronger. Ross and the Vice Chief confronted each other fiercely in the air above 100 meters and while facing each other, they both paid attention to the battle below. The Vice Chiefs face has become extremely ugly, He originally intended to annihilate Ross and his Ghost Hand Pirates, He did not expect Rosss side to have this level of combat power, the situation was completely reversed! Boom! Ross took advantage of the influence of the other partys words and the battle situation below and punched with the power of distortion through the other sides arms defense and hit him between his legs. The Vice Chiefs face instantly turned purple and sauce and he retreated. Ross had a hard time grasping the Vice Chiefs flaws. He would naturally not let him go easily. His eyes were cold and his legs swept obliquely. After being blocked, Ross hit in the front again. Bang! Bang! Bang! The Vice Chief fell into an extremely disadvantageous position under the storm like attacks of Ross. He could only be beaten passively. After defending against Ross dozens of time, His defense was finally broken by Ross and an opportunity presented itself to Ross. Ross did not hesitate. He pushed forward with his hands together and hit him in his chest with the power of distortion. Puff! The Vice Chief spewed blood from his mouth and his entire figure rolled down from the sky and smashed into the island cloud below. In this world, Battle between the strong, except for swordsmen, will almost take a long time, because the body and Haki are all strong enough to a certain extent, not a single move can determine life and death and victory or defeat, a single or two flaws are difficult to control the battle situation. However. Having suffered Rosss attack, the balance of victory and defeat between the two has become completely tilted. Originally Ross had a slightly lower chance of winning, but now it is completely reversed with Ross now occupying an absolute advantage. Hajrudin! When The Vice Chief landed in the island cloud, Ross rushed down and shouted at Hajrudin not far away. Hajrudin understood something as he left aside the beaten CP0 Division Captain, who had fallen into defeat, he threw out the thunderbolt axe in his hand and threw it to the place where the CP0 Vice Chief fell. Cracking! The axe of thunder falls down and instantaneously turns into an interweaving of thunder streams in the sky. It centers on the landing point and turns into a convergence of dense thunder nets. At last, it condenses into a line and pours into the holes of island cloud ruthlessly. The CP0 Vice Chief, who had endured Rosss blow, was hit by this horrible thunderstorm, and his hairs were completely burnt, even when he used the Armament Haki, he could not resist the attack. Vice Chief!" The surviving CP0 members, as well as the governments soldiers, could not help but panic seeing this scene. No one expected that they would encounter such situation on the mission to rescue the Tenryubito from Sky Island! Its over! Rosss eyelids flashed with a cold light and at the moment when the lightning flow disappeared, He just rushed into the islands cloud pothole, opened the wall of Distortion and punched the CP0 Vice Chief. Although Hajrudins blow did not cause any serious injury to the Vice Chief body because of his strong physique and Armament Haki, it made his opponents body temporarily paralyzed by thunder current, and Ross wanted this paralysis effect! Bang! Due to the short term paralysis of his body, The CP0 Vice Chief was forced to put his iron-like wings in front of him to resist Rosss attack. Rosss power of distortion itself also has paralysis characteristics, which were not obvious before because of the other partys strong physical strength, but it is now fully reflected. With one blow, CP0 Vice Chiefs arms became numb and sour. Bang! Ross punched out again, pushing him deeper into the island cloud. The power of distortion is spurred to the extreme and Ross showed no mercy and the power of distortion is constantly superimposed as he continuously punched him. Cant go on like this! CP0 Vice Chief felt his arms were becoming more and more numb and he was gradually beginning to lose his consciousness. He tried to get rid of the current situation, but Ross carefully designed the situation and it will be next to impossible for him to get out of this situation alive. Deep in the island clouds and facing Rosss attack, he had no room to move. In the face of Rosss fist, he can only continue to resist. The only advantage he has is that the island cloud is not so hard. Even though Ross kept burying him deeper into the cloud, his back was not too badly impacted, but this could not save the situation. Bang! Bang! Bang! Ross did not know how many punches he had delivered. They fell straight in the island cloud of Sky island. Finally, they made a hole through the island cloud of Sky island Birka from top to bottom, pierced the clouds below, and came out below the white sea. CHAPTER 186 STRIKES TO KILL! CP0 Vice Chiefs mouth is constantly overflowing with blood, his arms have already withdrawn from the shape of the wings, and the soft mass of bones was broken into several sections and he is seriously injured. It was hard to get out of his current predicament. He immediately struggled to display Gepp (Moonwalk) and tried to escape. But. His wings have been broken by Ross, how can there be a chance for him to escape? Ross did not use Distortion Fist anymore. The high-intensity and high-load continuous punching just now imposed a heavy burden on himself and he had almost reached his limit. Distortion Heavy pressure! Ross glared indifferently at the Vice Chief while holding him with both hands and suddenly the gravity pressure on them increased by nearly ten times and the two men immediately fell in a straight line towards the blue sea ten thousand meters below them. Falling from a height of 10,000 meters is already terrifying. Now with ten times the gravity, the two are like two meteors, breaking the void and falling straight down towards the blue sea. The Vice Chief finally showed a panic look on his face and he used his all to try and break free, but the Gravity Distortion completely contained his seriously injured body and he wasnt able to get away. Finally. The two fell from the Sky island and towards the blue sea at a very fast speed and a hundred meters away from the blue sea, Ross threw the Vice Chief into the sea and buffered himself. Bang! In such a situation, Even the Vice Chief couldnt stabilize his falling body with Gepp (Moonwalk) and he slammed into the sea and instantly made a few hundred meters waves. Even if he tried his best to use Tekkai (Iron Body) and Armament Haki, he still couldnt resist the impact and his spine broke in an instant. Crash! Rosss body slowed down from a hundred meters in the midst of the splash and stopped at a position ten meters away from the sea. At the same time, he opened the wall of Distortion and excluded all the waves and water around him. As the waves gradually subsided, The Vice Chief was no longer visible on the sea. Ross was suspended in mid-air, slightly gasping and looking down at the sea. After a few seconds. Rosss ear rang with a clear system sound. World Government Secret Intelligence Agency, CP0 Vice Chief Ille has been killed, receiving a reward, 110 Talent Proficiency Points, 1 Free Talent Point. Listening to the voice, while confirming that the CP0 Vice Chief was dead, Ross exhaled and a smile appeared on his face. Vice Chief of CP0 did not disappoint him at all and he got a high reward from hunting him. It is extremely difficult to kill a man of such an existence. Even a Marine Admiral might not be able to kill such an existence and the opposite is also true and it is almost impossible to meet someone at this level. First, he seized the flaw, then he expanded the flaw and then he relied on Hajrudins assistance and let the other party fall into an absolute disadvantage situation where he could only resist. Finally, relying on the power of distortion, the flaw continues to expand, and finally make up for the fatal hit of falling into the sea. If any problems arise in any link of Rosss plan, the other party wouldve escaped by the virtue of the ability of the eagle fruit, which can fly at an undisputed speed in the air, even Ross is inferior to that speed. Whiz! Ross slowed down the power of distortion in his body a little bit and without looking for the CP0 Vice Chief, he looked up at the sky, and flashed up and flew back towards the Sky island. At the moment on the Sky island, The Battle has gradually come to an end. Hajrudin steadily suppressed the CP0 Division Captain even after helping Ross, this time without giving the other party a chance to breathe and he finally killed him. In addition. The first to end the battle is Laffitte. After killing his opponent, he and Law still have some stamina left, but the two did not intervene in any Battle, but instead stood in the side, keeping the encirclement, not letting anyone escape. Its an excellent Battle experience for everyone to fight against the government elites and the CP0 members. Finally. When Ross returned to the Sky island, most of the Battles were over, leaving only Metal Giant Stansen who had not yet fully defeated his opponent. Speed is indeed one of his weaknesses. Although the CP0 Captain has been seriously injured, he keeps avoiding him. They have a feeling that neither of them can do anything about each other. Ross looked at it for a moment, but he didnt show any other expression. He didnt expect Metal Giant to have any more speed. It was a Metal Giant, Not a Transformer. Strictly speaking, the weapon fruit of baby5 should be considered as the upper-level Devil fruit of the metal attribute fruit. The weapon that the body can project is not only cold weapons but also hot weapons. That fruit can produce a kind of jet device of speed type to increase the speed. Bang! Bang! Eventually, the CP0 Captain died in Metal Giants hands and was cut into numerous pieces he was surrounded by and could not escape, plus his stamina was exhausted. Your speed is a little slower. Its holding you back. After Stansen killed the CP0 captain, he recovered his shape and touched the back of his head with a slight sense of shame. No harm. Ross doesnt mind saying, Your fruit is not good at one-on-one Battle. If you work with Hajrudin and Road, it may have some unexpected effects. The Giant Regiment created by him is not a type of solo combat in itself, but a one-to-many weapon of war, and can be freely combined with each other to form a special battle form. CP0 Vice Chief physical strength and Haki were among the best and he could withstand Hajrudins lightning strike in perfect condition, but if that lightning strike is combined with the metal attribute fruits sword strike, the power will almost be superimposed and he may not be able to resist it. Same. If the sand armor is placed outside the Metal Giant, under the multiple defenses, He may be able to run wild in the Marine Headquarters and even demolish the Marine base under the eyes of Marine Admiral. Oh, I understand. Stansen nodded his head when he heard Rosss words. Before Rosss training, he had been a one on one combat expert. He had not been able to work with Road or Hajrudin. Although each of the giants is a strong fighting force but there are also ways to form battle cooperation between each other. Often three or five people form a group, they can build a very strong local fighting force. Now after eating Devil Fruit, their personal strength has increased sharply, but they have forgotten these means of the local battlefield. Left priest, you go and clean up the battlefield. Ross looked at Birkas left priest and gave an order to the other party and turned to look at the shore, which had a broken government ship. The ships flanks seemed to have been hit by sand soldiers, destroying a large area. Lets look around, The governments ships may have good things, hehe. Laffitte came to Ross and stood crookedly with a mahogany cane in his hand, staring at the government ship, his eyes twinkling. Ross Kenbonshoku swept the ship, confirmed that there was no one on it and he walked towards it. CHAPTER 187 Talking To Gorosei The World Government ship. This is a large ship, enough to accommodate nearly a thousand people, and there are many internal rooms, but because Ross does not intend to keep the ship, he swept through the rooms one by one and the walls were destroyed directly. Ross and Laffitte and others searched separately and quickly swept the ship over. They found almost nothing of value. Ross is not surprised either. After all, this ship came here with a rescue mission. However. In one of the rooms on the ship, Ross found a large number of books and various materials. Although he was not interested in books, he kept the books in the room and sent them out of the ship. Robin injuries are not good yet, so she cant sort out the data for the time being, but Kalifa can also do these kinds of things for the time being. Move back. With his ability, he destroyed the ships deck and pulled out a large number of materials and books along with the whole room, placed them on the ground of Birka Beach, and asked Road to move them to the palace. At that moment, there were some fragmented hulls in the rear, and suddenly there was a sound from Den Den Mushi. Puru-Puru-Puru-Puru Along with the voice of Den Den Mushi, there was the voice of Laffitte. Captain Ross. Ross turned around and saw Laffitte coming out of the ship, holding a Den Den Mushi, which was making constant noise, and handing it over to him with a look of inquiry. Ross had an unexpected look on his face, He took over the Den Den Mushi and looked at it twice. After a little reflection, Ross picked up the microphone and connected the Den Den Mushi. Ille, whats the situation? Did you found him? From the other side of the Den Den Mushi came a calm, ordinary and plain voice, which showed a superior momentum. Ross vaguely guessed who was on the other side of the Den Den Mushi and said plainly, If you mean Vice Chief of CP0, unfortunately, you cant see him anymore. The voice on the Den Den Mushi on the other side became silent. About two seconds later, a very cold, apparently different voice came along, accompanied by a very depressing atmosphere. Who are you? My identity should not be so hard for you to guess. Ross said in an indifferent voice, he basically confirmed who was on the other side of the Den Den Mushi, the core of the World Government, the supreme ruler on the bright side Gorsei (Five Elder Stars)! Less than two seconds after Rosss voice passed, a third extremely cold voice came from the Den Den Mushi. Ghost hand, Ross It was you who kidnapped Mjosgard. There are very few people in the world who dare to do anything to a tenryubito and can kill CP0 Vice Chief. Yonk (Four Emperors) wont do such a boring thing as kidnapping tenryubito. Its easy to guess who it is combined with a few bits of intelligence and clues theyve got before. Sensing that Ross is on the other side of the Den Den Mushi, Ille and others must be in a very bad situation or they are already dead. The atmosphere in the top office of the government where Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) is located has become depressed. All five were gloomy-faced. Even as the highest authority of the World Government on the light side and with the power to move all the Battle Heads of the Headquarters, They cant cross the Den Den Mushi to catch Ross out of thin air. Even if they hate Ross deeply, they cant do anything about Ross, at least for the time being. What do you want, Ghost Hand. Kidnapping Mjosgard, what are you going to do to him? Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) did not coerce, but asked indifferently, one by one, because they knew that their threats would mean nothing to Ross. Ross dares to kill a tenryubito in the Sabaody Archipelago, Threats will have no effect on this existence unless they grasped Rosss true weakness. Havent decided yet. Ross said in a plain tone. In the office of the highest level of World Government, The Den Den Mushi vividly showed Rosss expression and tone and two of Gorshsei (Five Elder Stars) instantly show anger in their eyes. As the core of the power of the World Government, few people dare to speak to them in such a tone. Although the remaining three did not show anger, they were also pressing the fire in their hearts. One of them took a deep breath and murmured, You can make conditions, ransoms and so on. What do you want in exchange to release Mjosgard? We can talk about it. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) are the highest authority of the World Government. They are the highest in tenryubito. The Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) who just spoke has the surname of Donquixote. The full name of Mjosgard is Donquixote Mjosgard. The Donquixote family is considered a heterogeneous family because of Doflamingo. After being removed from tenryubito, Mjosgard is one of the few remaining descendants of that family. Talk? When Ross heard the words of Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), he said slowly: If you withdraw the bounty order on me first. I dont mind talking to you. Impossible!" Almost immediately after Rosss voice fell, a Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) began to speak coldly. Another Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) also spoke quietly: Say another condition, the ransom can be opened as you like. What a Joke! Ross is one of the most wicked new generation pirates that World Government created by manipulating public opinion. If they suddenly withdraw his bounty order, does it mean that the government is bowing to a pirate? ! Not to mention a single Ross, even Yonk (Four Emperors) is out of the question!! World Government represents the worlds most supreme authority, they would never bow to anyone, they didnt bow to the Revolutionary, They didnt bow to the Whitebeard Pirates and they didnt bow to the Pirate King Gol D Roger! Naturally. Their real goal is that as long as Ross offered any terms, no matter how high the ransom, after negotiation can be falsely promised, in the delivery time, they would seize the opportunity to kill the Ghost Hand Pirates. Afterward, the external news will be reported as the secret plan of the World Government, and the Ghost Hand Pirates will be wiped out. Being rejected by an indifference individual, Ross had expected it and there were no unexpected expressions on his face. That He smiled, a light, sunny smile, and said, What else do you five Idiots want to talk about? Pop! This is Den Den Mushis hanging voice, echoing in the office on the top floor of the World Government. Five iron-blue faces were clearly reflected on the clean glass table. The whole room was silent. Standing in white, a Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) holds his sword handle tightly with his five fingers. At this moment, even with their temperament and self-restraint, there are signs of a volcanic eruption. How many years it has been. Who dares to call them Idiots? Even Garp, who had argued with them, Sengoku, who argued because of his will, or Steel Bone Kong, never dared to say such rude words. Perhaps Yonk (Four Emperors) would call them so, maybe the lawless Big Pirate would say that, but those could not get into their ears. And Ross. It was a near face-to-face joke. The Den Den Mushi showed Rosss tone and his expression in front of five of them perfectly and clearly. No one knows how long did it take for a Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) to calm down and open his mouth indifferently: A lawless younger generation, Just because of his little strength, he thinks that he can shake the world. They are the rulers. Ross is just a pirate, A crazy and a fool pirate. For them, if they dont hesitate to pay a great price, even the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates can be annihilated, For the Ghost Hand Pirates to survive till this day, it is their luck. The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) in white whispered in a gentle tone: Let the intelligence agency and Marine continue to spy on them. Its like a completely unequal gamble. The Ghost Hand Pirates must win forever in order to survive, and they only need to win once and the Ghost Hand Pirates will cease to exist. So the only thing they need is patience. Chapter 187 Talking To Gorosei CHAPTER 188 SPACE BRANCH Sky Island Birka. Ross stood on the edge of the deck of the broken government ship, after talking to the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) on the other side of Den Den Mushi, he hung up the Den Den Mushi. Laffitte, standing next to him, and Hajrudin, Law, and others on the coast, all heard the whole conversation clearly, but no one spoke. After Ross hung up the Den Den Mushi, the air sank into silence. Hee No one knows who made the laughing noise and as if a dam had been broken, everyone present began to laugh. Laffitte had a weird smile on his face, Law was smirked, Hajrudin and others yelled No one showed any fear of Rosss provocation against the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars). They are the Ghost Hand Pirates. Everyone standing here, whether its Laffitte or Law, or Hajrudin and other giants is either a self-indulgent person or a proud fighter. Even though they are quite weak compared to the World Government and with their current strength they cant even stand in front of Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. But. Thats just for now. With Rosss will, in the encounter with the Admiral, in the process of killing tenryubito, in the conflict with the Golden Lion, the annihilation of CP0s forceThis will have already been implemented in the whole group of Ghost-Hand Pirates. Everyone in this group has a common attitude towards the future, that is, self-confidence and a dream that they must accomplish, like Jinbe who proclaimed Luffy as The Pirate King in front of Four Emperors BIGMOM, like Zoro who wants to be the worlds strongest swordsman, like Luffy who wants to become King Of Pirates. Even if their strength is lacking currently, their will is unshakable! Whether it is Yonk (Four Emperors) or Marine or World Government! Whether its survival or a life-and-death crisis! Looking at the grinning giants, looking at Laffitte, who had a sly smile on his face and looking at the Trafalgar Law, whose mouth was slightly raised, Ross saw the power condensed between each of them. At this moment when Ross smiled, in his body, it seemed that something had been awakened, just like the seeds that landed, and finally, a bud was drawn. That is a breath. Similar to Armament Haki and Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, but at the same time different from the two. Half a month later. On the west side of the Sky Island Birka, there is a huge open space. Road, the giant of sand, is teaming up with the Metal Giant Stansen to fight against the Thunder Giant Hajrudin, but even as they teamed up, they are still defeated by Hajrudins power. Hajrudin is the strongest of all the giants and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit grants a very strong ability. Although Road and Stansen are developing their own devil fruits and becoming stronger, their growth rate and the starting line of strength are far less than Hajrudins. Its hard to win against this big man. Captain really made him quite terrifying. Law, carrying the demon knife on his shoulder, sat on a raised island cloud not far away, looking at Hajrudin, His eyes twinkled and he murmured as the thunder flashed. Laffitte stood next to him. They seemed to have just finished their practice and were taking a break. Sand and metal attributes are good but the power of thunder is something else entirely Hey, we can count ourselves lucky that this fruit didnt fall into enemy hands. On the other side. Ross was walking alone in the air, applying three times as much gravity to himself and using Gepp (Moonwalk) under three times as much gravity. Gepp (Moonwalk) is a tricky move that consumes a lot of stamina and it doesnt cover long distances in the air. It is extremely difficult to perform this move under three times of gravity. Even Ross has only recently achieved three times the weight of Gepp (Moonwalk) stability in the air. Huh! When his Stamina was consumed and his forehead overflowed with sweat, Ross ended practicing and fell back to the cloud and he dragged his tired body back to the palace and came to a large bathroom. The mist in the bathroom was hazy and vague. Ross ignored it. He took off his clothes and undressed. He went into the water and soaked his body in the pool, revealing only his head out of the water. Todays practice is over? On the other side of the pool, Robin put a white towel on her body and continued to soak in the water and asked quietly. Ross looked back and said, No, I havent done much exercise. Im going to adjust it today. Robin calmly asked: So thats why you came to the womens bath? Ross glanced at Robin and asked, How are your arms? They have recovered enough for them to take something light. Robin gently brushed her hand across the water, bringing up a ripple, and said, It feels like they should be recovered in another ten days or so. The speed of recovery is faster than what Law expects. Ross lies in the water and opens his mouth. As a Devil Fruit user, most of his body is immersed in the water and his body is also feeling weak. Speaking of the Talent System, there is a very special talent called Water Element Affinity. Ross once asked what the Talent System meant, and the Talent System responded to him. Thats right. This talent removes the side effect of eating a Devil Fruit and he would be able to swim in the sea and would no longer be rejected by the sea, That is to say, his weakness to sea will be removed. In addition, this talent also has the characteristics of underwater breathing, ignoring water pressure and so on. It requires 2 Free Talent Points to activate it. However, his Distortion Fruit itself can hold up a wall of Distortion and repel the seawater, so Ross has no intention of activating it unless he encounters any danger like if he falls into the sea and has no time to use the power of distortions to exclude the seawater, Activating the talent then may save his life and give him an advantage over the enemy. After soaking for a while, Robin stood up from the pool with a white bath towel wrapped around her. This bath towel wrapped around her tightly and he couldnt see anything. Ross glanced at it and took his eyes back and moved his mind to evoke the Talent System. He has not used the 110 Proficiency Points he got after killing the CP0 Vice Chief. Today, he has not exercised overly, just to adjust and use this part of the talent system. Looking at the translucent Talent System Interface, Ross did not hesitate and put 40 Talent Proficiency points into Agility Enhancement. Buzz!! The golden light flicked away in the water pattern and the General Talent panel changed. Agility Enhancement: 300 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value) Spirit Heart: 0(Basic Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 100 (High-Level Strengthening) Rock: 50 (Mid Level Strengthening) After putting 40-Proficiency Points into Agility Enhancement, It has reached proficiency of 300-points. With this improvement, even if there is still a big gap between him and Kizaru, there is basically no difference between him and the previous CP0 Vice Chief or Aokiji. The remaining 70 Proficiency Points, Ross decisively put them directly into the Distortion Fruit. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 600 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) by Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki: 100 Armament Haki: 50 With 70 Proficiency Points, the total proficiency of Distortion Fruit has reached 600 points, and finally, the branch of the Distortion Space has become an activatable green! At the same time, Ross also saw the conditions for activating the Distortion space. 5 Free Talent Points! CHAPTER 189 INFORMATION Ross now has only 3 Free Talent Points. He is 2 points away from activating Space Distortion ability. The first killing rewards for the four stages between the bounties of 100 million and 500 million have been obtained. If his luck is bad, then it would be extremely difficult for him to get 2 Free Talent Points. However. Even if he could not activate the ability of Distortion space for now, Ross has finally made a big stride in his attack strikes, reaching the same extent as a Marine Admiral! Currently, his attack, speed, and physique are similar to Marine Admiral like Aokiji. The only thing he lacks is the strength of Haki. Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Armament Haki need to reach 150 Proficiency Points to reach the level of Aokiji. Rosss eyes showed a hint of thought. Naturally. Even if his two-types of Haki is still a little behind an Admiral, but in terms of attack, speed, and physical fitness, he can barely match a Marine Admiral. If there is Laffitte or Hajrudin working side by side, they can basically make up for this part of the gap and achieve real confrontation. On one hand. Rosss own strength has been able to withstand an Admirals attack and he will not be easily put down, on the other hand, Laffitte and Hajrudin can not match up against the power of an Admiral. If the Admiral wants to kill his subordinates first with all his strength, that flaw will probably be caught by Ross directly and he will hit hard. In other words, A single Marine Admiral cannot deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates, Now the Ghost Hand Pirates are powerful enough to withstand an Admiral. Its almost time to take the next step. After using up the Talent Proficiency obtained by killing CP0 Vice Chief, Ross shut down the Talent System Interface and looked at the ceiling and murmured. His Observation Haki sensed Robin dressing in the lounge, and Ross said to her, Oh, by the way, call Kalifa when you go out. Robin paused but did not respond. After dressing, she left the lounge as if she hadnt heard anything at all. Ross lay in the water, feeling Robins movements. Oh, woman. Two days later. Ross sent CP9s Kaku and others to New World in the second half of Grand Line at once and asked them to start collecting all the intelligence about Donquixote Family. Naturally, this Donquixote Family refers to the power of Doflamingo, not the tenryubito group living in Holy Land Mariejois. As for the original crew such as Laffitte and the giants such as Hajrudin, they remained on the Sky Island practicing. In just a month, their practicing was not done at all and their mastery over Haki was somewhat weak. Rosss plan this time was to let them master at least one type of Haki. Half a month later. Robins arms have just healed and she has not yet begun practicing. As for everyone elses improvement, Laffittes practice for Haki is the earliest, and today he is at the top at Haki except for Ross. His Observation Haki has reached a certain level and his Armament Haki can now be hardened. As for Trafalgar Law, He has mastered Observation Haki for now and he has been working on the Armament Haki. He can use a little bit of Armament Haki but he can not harden it yet. Hajrudin, because of the particularity of Rumble-Rumble Fruit and the fact that he is the strongest and gifted giant of all, His Observation Haki is nearly as strong as Laffitte! As for Armament Haki He and Law are almost the same, it still cant be hardened. The gap between Armament Haki surrounding and Armament Haki hardening is very big. New Worlds pirate can use a little more than one type of Haki and some are experts in both types of Haki, or the female warrior of Amazon Lily can mostly use Armament Haki surrounding. But only some of them could use Armament Haki Hardening. For the giants and Law and others, Rosss requirement for them to be at least be able to use Armament Haki Hardening, which is not feasible. Metal Giants practice focus is on Armament Haki. Now its just beginning to bear fruit. He occasionally exhibits Armament Haki hardening but only occasionally and he still lacks control. Theres still a long way to go before he can really improve it and control it. Road is the initial master of Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki and has initial mastery of Armament Haki, His Kenbonshoku (Observation) is not as good as Hajrudin, and his Armament Haki is not as good as Stansen. Bang! Bang! At this moment, on one of Birkas coasts, Ross is fighting alone against the three giants and five crew members, including Laffitte and Law. In the case of five people joining forces, it also caused tremendous pressure on Ross. Laffittes strength today is not inferior to a senior Vice-Admiral. Hajrudin is even slightly stronger because of his Rumble-Rumble Fruit, plus the rest of the two giants Tenacious defense and Laws space movement is making it difficult for Ross to defeat them now. Bang! Ross punched out and smashed Stansen and Roads steel Sand wall while backing off at the same time and colliding with a thunderbolt coming from Hajrudin in the air. At this moment, Ross has already entered the state of Spirit Heart and almost has taken all aspects of his capabilities to the limit. Whiz! Laffittes figure flickered as he appeared in front of Ross and his mahogany cane turned into a dark color, and it poked towards Rosss chest. Ross took back his fist that hit Road and others and reached for the mahogany cane. ROOM! At this time, Laws voice came and Laffitte suddenly disappeared and when he appeared again, he came to the back of Ross and his mahogany cane continued to poke towards Rosss back. Clang! Rosss back was instantly covered with a dark layer of Armament Haki and with his Rock and Tenacious defense, he blocked Laffittes stab. A glimmer of light passed through his eyes, pointing at his back towards Law, a power of distortion to cut through the void, and went straight towards Law. Laws face remained unchanged and he once again used ROOM and disappeared. Shackles of sand! Road and Hajrudin and others seemed to communicate with each other. Suddenly, they shouted loudly. They even scattered the armor of sand for defense. The waves of sand rushed towards Ross from all over the sky. Just as Ross was about to avoid it, Law and Laffitte appeared over him, blocking him by a joint blow and he was instantly covered with yellow sand. ! Ross falls into the sand and opens the wall of Distortion in an instant. Although the shackles of the sand wave are strong, it is not strong enough for him to be restrained of his actions. But what Hajrudin and others want is not to tie him down completely. Its just to create an instant opportunity. At this moment, Metal Giant folds his arms in front of him and turns them into a huge spear, he flew out in the air and stab the spear towards Ross. At the same time. Hajrudin shouted loudly and turned into a white thunderbolt. He caught up with the steel spear and poured a thunderbolt into it. Crack! Supported by the force of thunder, the steel spear seems to be transformed into a huge to horrible flying arrow, powered by the thundering current, its speed rises sharply, enclosing the power that seems to run through everything. ElbafSpear Gun! CHAPTER 190 WIND AND RAIN Good cooperation Looking at the coming attack and judging its power, Rosss eyes twinkled and he drove the power of distortion to its limit and utilized Armament Haki to counter against the coming violent blow. The fist collided with the spear in air. Under the attack of power of distortion, the thundering stream is scattered like a flash of electricity. It is like a thunder being blocked by a certain force and the thunder scattered in all directions. The steel spear pierced the power of distortion bit by bit in the package of the thunderstorm, touching Rosss fist bone, but it also remained rigid in mid-air. Bang! A violent sound echoed as the attack eventually exploded on the coast. The terrifying aftermath made Laffitte and others take a defensive posture. When the threads of thunder dispersed, they saw Ross suspended in the mid-air several meters high and he slowly retrieved his fist and under his feet was a sandy beach. The power of this move is very strong. Ross took a gentle breath and nodded at Hajrudin and Stansen. If he hadnt upgraded the power of distortion to 600, he would probably not have been able to withstand the blow and would have suffered minor injuries. Thats all for now. You can continue practicing. Ross stopped Hajrudin and others who seemed to want to continue to fight. His figure flickered as he flew into the distance, landing on the chest doctor Gerth. Gerth and Goldberg also participated in the practice. Both of them have general talent in Kenbonshoku (Observation). Their Armament Haki is a little better, but not much stronger. So far, they are just in the beginning phase. Without a Devil Fruit, they are far less powerful than Hajrudin and others. Ah, Captain? Gerth looked back at Hajrudin and others and then looked down at Ross on her chest. Because of the big difference in body shape, Ross was like someone from Dwarves Race to them. Falling on his exclusive seat, Ross looked up at Gerth and said, Dont worry, well find Devil Fruit for you and Goldberg sooner or later. Hajrudin and others are making steady progress, while Goldberg and she are making slow progress. It is impossible for the two of them to say that there is no urgency. Captain Gerth looked at Ross, somewhat ashamed, and said, We havent even done anything for you so far. Even Hajrudins strength is given by you. Its totally impossible to repay your kindness. Goldberg stood by, very serious and said respectfully: Even if our strength is still weak, but we will fight for Captain at all costs. Ross slightly smiled, not talking but he is still thinking about what devil fruit is more appropriate besides Barrier-Barrier Fruit, or simply leaving one person as a non-ability user to avoid an awkward situation where all others fall into the water and they have no one who could rescue them. Lying on Gerths chest for a while, Ross flew up and began to guide Gerth and Goldberg on their Haki practice and then he set off to do his Gepp (Moonwalk) practice. Whiz! Whiz! This time, Instead of exerting gravity on himself, he used Gepp (Moonwalk) and climbed higher into the sky. As the altitude rose, the clouds gradually disappeared and the air became extremely thin. It became extremely difficult to perform Gepp (Moonwalk) in these conditions. In addition, breathing has become more difficult. At this altitude, a large part of the Sky Island world can be surveyed, and at a glance, he can see the structure of the Sky Island. Void Looking at the quiet and dark Void, Rosss eyes flashed brightly and he saw the moon gradually appearing from the end of his gaze. Enel yearns for the infinite earth. If he remembers correctly, there should be a special mechanical civilization on the moon, but with his current ability, he can not fly from here to the moon. Maybe after he activated the branch of Distortion space, he would be able to reach there. Whiz! As his lung functions gradually approached their limit, Ross stopped staying and flew downward, quickly returning to the Ski island area and practicing in the clouds above the Sky island. What he has to do now is to adapt to the sky-high power of distortion and to achieve full control of it, in addition to slightly improving his physical fitness. The surging power of distortion, together with the recent successive heightening of physical strength, has once again reached a state of balance, he can fully exert his powers and his body can withstand it. The first month passed. Robins Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) has reached the point where she can make doppelgangers. The second month passed. Metal Giants Armament Haki can now be hardened. Goldberg and Gerth have initially completed the practicing of two-color Haki. The third month passed. Hajrudin can now use Hardened Armament Haki and his Observation Haki has reached the level of Ross. During these months, Marines and the government did not send any troops to kill them on the island. Obviously, Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) did not intend to send a large number of troops to the unknown places like the Sky island. Ross and others stayed on the Sky Island as the government does not intend to send any troops to be killed here because the basic impact does not affect the blue sea, but as long as Ross sets foot on the blue sea, they will immediately send a powerful force to encircle him! Annihilating a Yonk (Four Emperors) is too costly, but to annihilate the Ghost Hand Pirates, they dont need to be afraid. Also. Over the past few months, intelligence about Donquixote Family has also been continuously transmitted to the Sky island and handed over to Ross. Kaku and others got a lot stronger after experiencing Sky islands training methods. The strongest two, Kaku and Jabra, are still weaker than CP0 members, but the gap between their strength is not very big. Their ability to spy on intelligence is also remarkable. However. Although Kaku and others have a strong intelligence-gathering ability, Donquixote Familys intelligence network and trading network are all over the world and they have insider dealings with many forces. While they were spying on intelligence, there were a few clues in front of Doflamingo, but for the time being, they could not compose effective information. Revolutionary Army, or Sitting on the throne of Dressrosa Palace, Doflamingo listened to his subordinates reports, showing a hint of thought. Donquixote Family has dealings with many forces and its hard to gather any information on them. Over the years, there have been countless members of various forces who have sneaked into Dressrosa, but most of them have been turned into toys by Sugar. All the secrets about the Donquixote Family are hidden in the dark Underground. However. Not long ago, he got an intelligence report from a special channel, that is, the Ghost Hand Pirates defeated the CP0 forces on the Sky Island but it is still unknown what exactly happened. Marine Admiral failed to kill you, CP0 also suffered a loss, fufufufu Ghost Hand Pirates are getting more and more troublesome. Doflamingo has a hunch. The next target of the Ghost Hand Pirates is probably him! This kind of hunch is not inexplicable, but an undetermined conclusion that is vaguely obtained through the news of Trafalgar Law and a series of intelligence analyses. And one thing is certain, Trafalgar Law is never going to be able to stay with the Ghost Hand Pirates while forgetting about his past. If you want to deal with me, then come. Doflamingo stood up with a wicked smile on his face and said, If you really want to come at me, then its time to get ready. The government and Marines have already hated you guys for a long time. Fufufufufufu. No matter whether its about Law or the accident with the Sand Sand Fruit, he will not easily let the Ghost Hand Pirates go. If the other party dares to come to kill him, then all the more better! As the original tenryubito and with his identity of Shichibukai, only Four Emperors can make him fear anything in this sea. The Ghost Hand Pirates are not qualified. CHAPTER 191 JUDGMENT OF CRANE Great Age of Pirates at the beginning of sixteen years. The Ghost Hand Pirates sailed from the Sky Island Birka and quietly returned to the blue sea. Although the process of returning was silent, the purpose of this time is no longer to simply survive, but to completely turn the world upside down! Once we show up, or expose the intelligence about our location, we will be immediately targeted by the government, so before that, we must prepare the intelligence and the plan to avoid temporary changes. The ship sailed slowly on the sea and sailed towards an island, not far from Dressrosa. Relying on the three arrows of the High-Level Log Pose and some maps of the New World. Ross and others determined where they were when they returned to the blue sea, with two islands separated them from Dressrosa and the final buffer zone. Once they step into Dressrosa, all hell will break loose! Our advantage is that with the three arrows of the Log Pose, the government and Marines would not know that our goal is Doflamingo, nor can they determine which island we are going to arrive next. We can use this to respond to their plans. Law, carrying the demon knife, stood beside the table where the sea map was spread and opened his mouth in silence. Robin looked thoughtful and said, Youre right, but we cant ignore the possibility that the government and Marines guessed our purpose, and Doflamingo, as the core of the Dark Trading Network, wont be surprised at our attack. Laffitte smiled weirdly and said: The tenryubito on our ship can attract the attention of the government and Marines. If we designed this perfectly enough, it will be like a powerful battle force. Ross stared at the sea map and looked at it. After considering it for a while, he said: With our current situation, once we show up, we are going to attract attention and the governments, Marine, and Doflamingos intelligence agencies will focus on us. As long as we reveal a little more information about the route, some people can infer our purpose. So be as concealed as possible, at least we can not be exposed before reaching the second island and the tenryubito may come in handy, we have to design this carefully, do you have a plan? Ross asked Laffitte. Laffitte smiled: I have a plan. Ross nodded and without asking for any detailed inquiry, went on: This time the aim is to destroy Doflamingo, but besides that, we also have to hit the government hard! Speaking of this, Rosss eyes glimmered with cold light. When Robin looked at Ross, she couldnt help but raise her lips and gently smile. She said: It seems that Captain has plans. Ross, Robin, Law, and Laffitte, all four are cool and able to develop a plan for the battle. Under the discussion, all aspects of the government, Marines, and Doflamingo are completely spread out. Perhaps, in terms of strategy and intelligence quotient alone, the people present are not as good as Marine Vice-Admiral Great Staff Officer Tsuru or Akagami PiratesVice Captain Beckman, but together, they can take many details into account. The first island appeared on the horizon during the detailed arrangement and discussion. The giants are too big, it would be best if they do not go to the next island. Although no one knows they are our fighting force yet, we should try our best to cover them up and avoid any accidents. I think so too. Ross nodded, everything is for the sake of security. The Ghost Hand Pirates are not the Straw Hat Pirates, there Captain does not have the Marine Hero as his grandfather, he does not have Dark King Rayleigh as his master, he did not gain his dream to become a pirate from Akagami (Red Hair), he does not have Revolutionary Army Leader as his father. They will be ruthlessly chased by the Marine and the government to kill them. Soon. Ross, Laffitte, and others landed on the first island, avoiding exposure as much as possible, and purchased ingredients and items they needed. Nevertheless, the government and Marine, together with Donquixote Family, have built an Intelligence network that is terrifyingly, even though the Ghost Hand Pirates have not shown their bodies and faces and they are concealed under Rosss ability. Only when they buy food materials, can they show the shadow of a black cloak, which still becomes put the traces on them by the government and Marine. Naturally. Because there are too many such traces, and most of them are meaningless false intelligence or coincidences, it will be several days before Marine and the government use exclusion method to find the traces before ruling them out by investigation before seizing them. Not long after Marine got Intelligence, Doflamingo also got information about Ross from Marine through his channels. However. Doflamingo frowned at the fact that this might be the Ghost-Hand Pirates and he only has intelligence on them appearing on that island. The second intelligence about the Ghost-Hand Pirates finally appeared ten days later. When this intelligence appeared, and then the first intelligence before it appeared in series, the government and Marine finally got a little valuable information. Marine Headquarters. In one of the conference rooms, Headquarters Vice-Admiral sat on the sides, one of the Headquarters Vice-Admiral pointed to the sea map and said: There will be three islands on this route, but its hard to guess which one they are aiming at Others, including Doberman sitting in the corner were also mumbling. And just as everyone was talking, a gentle and clear voice came, If you judge by probability, then the greatest possibility is Dressrosa. In the direction of the voice, sitting in a plain-clothed Vice-Admiral, everyone saw her moment, showing a tribute. Headquarters Vice-Admiral and Chief of Staff, Crane! These three routes, except Dressrosa, point to the Universal Sea and the Beast Sea unless they want to compete for the status of Four Emperors right now Naturally, its not impossible. The Ghost Hand Pirates once killed a main member of the Beast Pirates on the Icefield Island. With Kaidos character, if Ross appears on that route, he will not let his go. Cranes hair is nearly a half gray, but her tone is very calm, she said, bit by bit linking all the bits of intelligence to form a clear context. She also mentioned Yonk (Four Emperors), mentioning the characteristics of the Ghost Hand Pirates, mentioning the character of Ross, mentioning Trafalgar Law. At last. She took a sip of tea from her cup to moisturize her dry throat. She added, At present, there are too few effective bits of intelligence, only so many can be analyzed, the possibility is about half. About half the possibilities that they will go to Dressrosa and the other half is that they will go to one of the areas controlled by Yonk (Four Emperors). This possibility is somewhat of a tangled number. An Admiral is required to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates and with half the possibility, how should they mobilize? The people present did not have the power to decide. Half the possibility Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat in the main position. Now Akainu and Aokiji are not in the Headquarters, only Kizaru is here and in order to deal with all kinds of things, Headquarters must keep at least one Admiral here. If Kizaru is dispatched, in case of any unexpected situation, it will be difficult to deal with the problem of manpower, and Garp will be expected to take care of something He still wants to be Marine Fleet Admiral for a few more years so he cant let that happen. CHAPTER 192 CP0 COMES On the other side. In the palace of Dressrosa, Doflamingo also got the intelligence, but he reached a different judgment from the Crane. He is almost certain that the Ghost Hand Pirates are coming to Dressrosa. There is no such thing as detailed inference and reasoning, but only his intuition! Marines need to deal with various issues rationally, but for a pirate, they often deal with things with their intuition and even Doflamingo is no exception to that. It seems that you are really coming to me, fufufufu Doflamingo doesnt look down on the Ghost Hand Pirates, the Ghost Hand Pirates escaped from Marine Admirals and killed the tenryubito, which is enough to threaten him. So he will not only pay attention to it, but he will also concentrate all his attention on it to deal with the upcoming battle, which will probably be the most intense battle since he occupied Dressrosa! After thinking for a moment, Doflamingo took out a Den Den Mushi and contacted the World Government. As a former tenryubito and the creator of the worlds largest trading core in the Dark Underground, he is the most special of all Shichibukai, with influence spreading throughout the criminal organization, Marine and even within the government. The guy you want to annihilate the most is coming to me now, fufufufu, dont know what you plan to do? Five days later. The Ghost Hand Pirates landed on the last island before Dressrosa and began to map out the island, they were indirectly exposed here. When the news was delivered to the Marine Headquarters, Crane and Sengoku and others almost immediately confirmed that Rosss target route is the site of Seven Warlords of the Sea Doflamingos country, Dressrosa! Despite the fact that it was a little late, Sengoku immediately ordered the Battleships to depart and led by Marine Admiral Kizaru, three large Battleships heading for Dressrosa. On the other side. On Dressrosas side, Doflamingo has also recalled all of his cadres from outside the country. The people still dont know what happened, but the various forces on the sea have gradually captured a feeling like this is only the eve of the storm. Donquixote Family, the core of the dark world, has a trading network all over the world. Once something goes wrong, it will immediately affect the whole world! And just as countless forces in the world looked at Dressrosa with uncertainties and surprises, Ross and his party finally arrived. Here it is, Dressrosa. Looking ahead at the Island, Law took a deep breath and recalled the scene of Doflamingo killing Corazon. He could not help but squeeze the demon knife in his hand and again look at the Island with cold eyes. He knows that his current strength is not enough to kill Doflamingo, but he has his participation and planning in a series of plans against Doflamingo! In order to avenge Corazon and kill Doflamingo, he has done almost everything he can now. In this war. Doflamingo is bound to pay for what he did that year! Laffitte stood on one side of the deck, leaning his body and carrying a mahogany cane, saying: I think Doflamingo may already know that we are here, hehe. Lets go. Ross looked calm and opened his mouth as the ship gradually landed and jumped to the shore. He was wearing a black windbreaker, without any cover, so he stepped into Dressrosa, all the arrangements have been completed, now there is no need to cover up, all that is left is the decisive battle! For him, Doflamingo is a prey who will give him at least some Talent Proficiency point and if he can give him a Free Talent Point. That would be great. Laffitte gently smiles and follows Ross. Robin and Law are also behind and a group of four people marched toward Dressrosa. They cross the street, heading towards the palace in the middle of Dressrosa! They are coming. How daring, coming here without any cover, fufufu In the central palace of Dressrosa, Doflamingo stood at the window with a strange smile on his face, as if he had everything in the palm of his hand. He turned and walked out of the front door of the palace, pointing to the dark figure and saying, Now that the guests have arrived, its time to go out and greet them. The four top cadres of the Donquixote Family gathered together, even Vergo, who was undercover in the Marine, arrived in Dressrosa a few days before the formal order was given to the Marine. Naturally. Vergo wont show up. Hell lead Marine and act on behalf of Marine against the Ghost Hand Pirates because everything is a decision of the upper class and it wont expose or arouse suspicion. When Ross and other four people came outside the palace of Dressrosa, headed by Doflamingo, the top three cadres except for Vergo also stepped out. Both sides are a group of four. Ghost Hand Pirates After all, I met you. If I remember correctly, did you take something from me that you shouldnt take? Doflamingo looked at Ross and others, with a weird curve rising from the corners of his mouth. Ross is wearing a black trench coat and Laffitte and others are standing behind him wearing dark clothes, which were especially changed in the previous Island. Do you mean Logias Sand Sand Fruit? He looked up at Doflamingo, Doflamingo was taller than Ross, but he couldnt take advantage of his height to gain momentum over Ross. Doflamingo stunned before he smiled and said: I thought after you grabbed something from me, you will forget who it originally belonged to. No. Rosss gaze calmly said: If you dont have the ability to guard it then its not yours." This is the way the world is. The emergence of civilization and wisdom just makes the jungle develop in a more unique direction. The essence has not changed. The strong will live and the weak will die, this is the way that the world works! Doflamingo smiled a little, but immediately he laughed a little more. Instead of responding, he turned to Trafalgar Law behind Ross and said: Law, the little devil is finally back, the seat of the third-generation member of the Donquixote Pirates has been reserved for you, fufufufu. Doflamingo doesnt want to kill Law. Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit is so powerful that if hes willing to obey him, in some ways its worth even more than Hobi Hobi no Mi which is eaten by Sugar! Hearing Doflamingos words, Law raised his calm face sharply and said calmly to Doflamingo: From the moment Mr. Corazon died, the meaning of my existence is to revenge Mr. Corazon. You should go to hell to repent, Doflamingo! Fufufufu Doflamingo listened to Law, not showing any anger, but laughed and said, Should I say you are brave or foolish, Law, Im sorry to tell you that today your opponent is not me. As Doflamingos voice fell, six people with different heights, all wearing a white trench coat and wearing a mask, slowly walked out from the dark. The white hue contrasted sharply with the dark tones of Rosss group. The highest level of the World Government intelligence organization. CP0! CHAPTER 193 DECISIVE BATTLE PROLOGUE Although not afraid of the Ghost Hand Pirates, but there are easier ways to clean up the Ghost Hand Pirates, Doflamingo naturally will not brainlessly lead his subordinates to a bloody battle against Ross. It is undoubtedly the best way to use the power of the government. CP0! Trafalgar Law looked at the six people who came over. There is no doubt that these six people are members of the World Governance Subordinate organization CP0, and the Chief of CP0 is probably one of them! Ghost Hand Pirates, hand over Saint Mjosgard and you will be shown a little mercy. Walking in the forefront is a thin, tall high-masked man, his voice is as cold as the winter wind as he said one sentence to Ross and other people, he is the CP0s Chief! Whether it is the order of the annihilation the Ghost Hand Pirates issued by Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), or the protection of tenryubitos vocation and mission, the Ghost Hand Pirates are ranked first in their annihilation list! Knowing that the Ghost Hand Pirates are going to find their own trouble, Doflamingo naturally cant do nothing, knowing that the government hates Ghost Hand Ross, he naturally immediately contacted Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and CP0, and Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) showed almost no hesitation and they sent the CP0 Chief directly! Marine as a force on the bright side attracts great attention with their every move, but the CP0 is hidden in the dark is different, its actions are completely secret, not known to the outside world! As Captain expected. Laffitte looked at the six CP0 members who were present, smiled softly with a crooked head and said, I dont know which one is Chief and which one is the Division Captain? The six people of CP0 are all indifferent and no one spoke, they just stand there and it formed a palpitating momentum so that the atmosphere in the field is extremely heavy. Ross stood there quietly, looking at the strongest person with his Observation Hakis perception. There was no fear in his eyes, but only calmness. Its almost time. What time? The eyebrows under one of the CP0 masks are slightly wrinkled and there is a vague feeling that the coming event will not be very good. Nearly the next moment, a Den Den Mushis voice suddenly sounded from one of them. The mans face under his mask was a little ugly. He took out the Den Den Mushi and answered. Ah, ah Hurry up and save me, you bastards. Hurry up! Those pirates tied bombs on me. Its timed! On the other side of Den Den Mushi came Mjosgards voice of crying and scolding, calling out for help while scolding the CP0 members, he was apparently scared and he wet his pants. The sound spread and the scene suddenly became strange. The originally suppressed atmosphere was instantly destroyed. Although all six CP0 people wear masks, Ross and Doflamingo can almost guess how ugly the face under the mask is becoming right now. Doflamingos eyebrows twisted together as he didnt expect Ross to prepare for this situation beforehand, and since it came out, the Tenryubito bound by a time bomb must not be here and the crying voice on the Den Den Mushi confirmed his judgment. Ross looked at the six CP0 members and said: I think you have already understood the specific situation. After 12 hours, the bomb will explode. As for where he is, you all know. If you start now, as long as you dont encounter too bad weather, you should arrive just in time." The CP0 Chief stared at Ross and finally spit out a word, Well Played. For CP0, their duty, or the most important mission, is to protect the security of tenryubito. No matter the case or situation, the safety of tenryubito should be put in the first place. The meaning of their existence is being the hardest shield of tenryubito. No. 3, No. 4, you two stay here, others come with me. CP0 Chief didnt know what plans Ross had laid out on another island, but the Tenryubito was still alive. He couldnt delay anymore and made a quick decision, leaving two Division Captain behind and taking the other three with him. They must arrive on the island as soon as possible, then they have to find the tenryubito on the island and save him. As for leaving two people behind, it is also necessary to do. These two are Division Captain and with their and Donquixote Family combat powers, there should not be too much problem. When they come back, or when the Marines arrives, the situation will be back in their control again. Marines Battleships are already on the way and it shouldnt be long before they arrive here. Whiz! Whiz! After the order was issued, the four CP0 members immediately disappeared, leaving only the 3rd and 4th in their original place. The eyes of the two men were gloomy, with a little anger in them. No one has ever dared to threaten a Tenryubito, forcing their CP0 into such a passive, must-do situation. Seeing the departure of the four CP0 members, Ross looked calmly in front of him without any waves of surprise in his heart. It seems that he had already foreseen this scene. He turned his head and looked at Doflamingo and said slowly: The obstacles are almost over. Next, its time to clear up the grievances between you and my crew, Donquixote Doflamingo. Doflamingo stared at Ross and suddenly he laughed again and said, The means to remove the main force of CP0 was good, but it doesnt seem to change anything. Marines will be here in at most half a day and only depending on the four of you, What can you do in half a day? He opened his hands and his face showed an unruly smile. As Doflamingos voice dropped, Diamante, Trebol, and Pica, the three top cadres of Donquixote Pirates, slowly stepped forward and stood in line with him. At the same time, a large number of Donquixote Family members rushed to the square in front of the palace, divided into spades, plum blossoms, hearts, and diamonds. The Bomber Gladius! Machvise! Lao G! Donquixote Familys cadres are almost all gathered here. Everyone is a famous strong man on the sea. If it wasnt for no bounty for Shichibukais subordinates rule then every one of the cadres would at least have a bounty of more than 200 million berries! Even though CP0 has withdrawn its main force such as CP0 Chief for the sake of tenryubito, the two remaining are Division Captains and with them are the main members of the Donquixote Pirates and they bring extremely strong oppression to their opponent! Now. In some buildings not far from the palace, many civilians have seen this scene, all of them look at this side, with a shocked look on their faces. For they have never seen the Donquixote Familys cadres and members converging in such a dense manner. His Majesty, and Sir Diamante Incredibly, are all Donquixote Family cadres here? Is a battle about to start here? Look at those people in the middle, they seem to be the Ghost Hand Pirates! After the people of Dressrosa recognized Ross, all of them were surprised and stunned. Looking at this, it seems that the Ghost-Hand Pirates are going to fight the Donquixote Family! Those people who have not been turned into toys are naturally worried, but when they see Donquixote Familys huge force and the presence of top cadres such as Diamante, their worries ease a little. But. Unlike the light side, all those who have been turned into toys are looking in the direction of the square and they are all shocked and there are totally different emotions in their hearts. Sugers devil fruit can turn a person into a toy and erase their existence from everyones mind. Every day, they have to do day-to-day work for the Donquixote Family. Their family cant recognize them and they are forgotten by everyone. What they want most is that Doflamingo can be knocked down so that they can recover their bodies and expose the darkness! Now. The emergence of the Ghost Hand Pirates seems to give this desire a glimmer of light! Go and report this to the soldier Captain, something big has happened! Can you win? Ghost Hand Pirates Compared with the ordinary people who were kept in the dark, the toys, after getting the news, acted secretly. For a time, the entire Dressrosa surged! CHAPTER 194 CONFRONTATION! You are wrong, Doflamingo. Standing behind Ross, Law slowly pulled out the demon knife and glanced coldly. Were not just four people and half of the day is more than enough to kill you! Donquixote Family is not strong, Doflamingo himself is not that strong either, the important thing is that Doflamingo knows the secrets and have various secret cards, once he is touched, it will lead to Marine and even the government coming after that person. So once you plan to deal with Doflamingo, you have to kill him with one blow! When he heard Law, the smile on Doflamingos face finally turned into a sneer. He drew his five fingers across and suddenly made a sharp stroke towards Law. Pretty arrogant, Law, you little devil Goshikito(Five Color Strings)! Qing! Ross pulled his sword out of its sheath and Happy Springs cross-blade blocked the five wires that can cut steel easily. His eyes were calm. Even in the face of Donquixote Familys huge power network and the encirclement of two CP0 Division Captain, there was no fluctuation in his eyes. Doflamingo grinned as he saw Ross blocking his attack on Law. His smile was wicked and filled with arrogance. Law this little devil ran away from Donquixote family after stealing something valuable. Now I have to discipline my subordinates and its not your turn to intervene. At the moment when his voice fell, Doflamingos five fingers jerked, and countless wires converge, turning into a terrifying whip, slamming toward Ross. Overheat (Excess Whip String) Ross holds the Happy Spring in an expressionless grip and surrounds the blade in the power of distortion and wields the sword against that very thick whip. Under the agitation of the power of distortion, he cuts it rigidly! LawLawLaw, I thought you were planning to fight me. Ross stared at Doflamingo and said those words in a gentle tone, the moment his voice fell, his whole body flashed toward Doflamingo. Start! Almost at the moment Ross moved, Robin, Law, and Laffitte all reacted. Robin raised her hands falsely and instantly produced countless arms, killing nearly a hundred ordinary soldiers of Donquixote Family. Then Law opened the ROOM and instantly switched his position, he swung his sword and cut dozens of Donquixote Family members into two segments. Then Laffitte shot into the crowd like a black shadow and enemies began to fall like dominoes falling to the ground as blood-spattered. So arrogant Diamante came to Laffitte with a long sword and a cold face. He swung it out and collided with the stick in Laffittes hand. All of a sudden, sparks splashed. Immediately afterward, the rest of the cadres and ordinary members also flocked towards Law and Robin, they thought that they will quickly defeat Robin and others with absolute numbers and strength. Simultaneously. Two CP0 Division Captains also charged toward Ross planning to launch a raid on Rosss back and ready to assist Doflamingo to quickly defeated Ross. But almost as the whole square flashed and countless Donquixote Family people flocked up, a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky. Boom! Like a waterfall, the thundering flow descended from the sky. The first to land was a white Thunder condensed battle axe. When the earth fell, a burst of thunder and lightning broke out. All the hundreds of Donquixote Family soldiers in all directions were electrified. And almost in the next moment, in the thunderlight, countless thunderbolts converged and turned into a giant that was raising the thunder axe that swept towards Donquixote Family. Crack! The thick thunder was like a stream of water and as the axe swept out almost hundreds of ordinary soldiers in front were wrapped in lightning strikes. Even the cadres of the Donquixote Family were caught off guard and were hit by the Thunderbolt. Even if they used Armament Haki to resist the attack, it still left a scorch mark. Thunder? Doflamingo saw the scene from afar, and his eyebrows twisted. The two Division Captain also blinked a bit but they did not pay any attention to it. Instead, the two Division Captain joined hands and continued to rush towards Ross. Sword of Distortion! Ross was fearless. With a wave of his sword, a power of distortion flicked out and turned into a half-moon arc. At the same time, he chopped that arc toward three people, the two Division Captain, and Doflamingo. CP0 Division Captains strength is slightly weaker than Doflamingos and even with Doflamingos awakening of Devil Fruit strength still lags far behind current Ross. Bang! Bang! Bang! Under Rosss blow, the Division Captain and Doflamingo teamed up to deal with it but they still couldnt face the attack and they had to retreat. And just when Ross was facing three enemies, the battlefield in the distance changed again. No one knows from where but a silver light came to the battlefield. It was like a stream of water, but it was very heavy. It gathered in the scene and turned into a giant cast in iron and steel. The Giant held the giant sword in both hands and slammed it. Bang! Under the absolute power, even if there are no sword art skills, the sword still opened the square sending dozens of Donquixote Family members flying out and attacking the highest cadre Diamante in a magnificent manner. Diamantes face changed and his hands cleaved violently with his sword. Hangetsu Glaive(Half Moon Glaive)! Bang! The eruption of green sword energy forced Metal Giants sword to be contained, but when the sword energy invaded Stansens face, it was very small, leaving no trace on his body surface. When the two giants appeared, they completely stirred the entire battlefield and turned the momentum of the fight to them. The shocking momentum was transmitted in all directions, shaking the entire Dressrosa! The Giants? With Devil Fruit powers Picas sharp voice sounded, watching the members of the Donquixote Family have no resistance in front of the two giants, he could not help but express his anger. All of a sudden, he sank into the earth and mobilized his devil fruit. In the surge of the earth, a stone giant stood up, as high as hundreds of meters high, even bigger than Hajrudin and Stansen! Go to hell! Giants! Pica controls the huge stone mans fist and punches sharply at Hajrudin, but Picaa speed to Hajrudin who is a Thunder Giant and proficient in Observation Haki is slower then ants crawl, He did not even deliberately to pay attention until the fist is closed and his entire figure disappeared in lightning. Pica found that Hajrudin was outrageously fast and he couldnt even catch his figure with his Observation Haki and he couldnt help but frown. He turned his head to stare at the Metal Giant and punched again. But. Just then, a handful of yellow sand suddenly surged up from the earth and turned into a huge sand fist that flung against Picas fist. Bang! The sand fist collided against the stone fist and a massive sound was heard. The square land collapsed in an instant. Countless members of the Donquixote Family flew out in the aftermath, and their faces were full of horror. This level of power is no longer something that ordinary members like them can intervene! Even Gladius and other cadres are gloomy at the moment as none of them expected the Ghost Hand Pirates to have such a strong fighting force! The Giants are very strong. After eating a Devil Fruit, especially a Logias Devil Fruit. Every single one of the giants is like a huge and almost invincible army! CHAPTER 195 DISTROTION VS STRING Sand Sand Fruit" Pica looked at the huge sand fist blocking him, and his eyes showed anger. This fruit originally belonged to the Donquixote Family and was stolen halfway by the Ghost Hand Pirates. Donquixote top cadre Pica your opponent is me! The giant of the sand, Road appeared. Instead of making armor of sand, he reached for Picas huge stone mans leg. Wither! The ability of Sand Sand Fruit was launched, the giant stone mans leg instantly desertified and scattered. The stone giant, who had lost one leg, could not keep its figure and fell to the left. Even though Pica tried to control it, it only moved a little bit and eventually, it collapsed on a part of Dressrosas palace. Bastard!! Picas angry and shrill voice rang out. Road opened his mouth and laughed. He had known Donquixote Familys distribution of forces from Ross long ago. The plan was very clear. It was him who will deal with Pica. Although the Rock devil fruit is also very powerful, in the face of Logias Sand Sand Fruit, he can easily turn the huge rock into crushed sand that can be controlled by him. The three giants appeared, and the battle situation turned on its head! Doflamingo watched as his subordinates fight with the three giants and he could not help but frown as he watched the scene of serious death and injury. He looked coldly at him and said, I have underestimated you a little, Ghost Hand Ross. The Ghost Hand Pirates who were hunted like dogs are now showing a power that is unpredictable! Metal Giant and Sand Giant are all right. Pica is at a great disadvantage and Diamante can hardly stop the destruction of the Metal Giant, but they can still make restraint and confrontation. The Thunder Giant alone is more terrifying then both of them, almost no one can stop him and even the cadres of the Donquixote Family cannot resist the power of the thunder. He must make a quick decision! Doflamingo took a deep breath and there was a shimmer in his dark glasses. His figure flashed as he charges into Ross and kicked in the air. Athlete(Leg Shave String) Shigan (Finger Gun), Fury! Rankyaku (Tempest Kick), Triumphant Bird! At the same time, the two Division captains also attacked, both of them are strong body expert, the vast majority of the people in the CP0 are strong body experts. Faced with the joint attack of the three people, Ross showed incredible speed as his body abruptly retreated and as he got out of the three mans attack range he counterattacked with a backhand sweep with his sword and a violent power of distortion shot out in front. Buzz!! The air in front of Ross showed a strange Distortion. The faces of Doflamingo and the other two people changed and they utilized their Armament Haki to resist Rosss attack. Even so, under Rosss attack, the three were still shocked back! Compared to the previous battle with CP0 Vice Chief, Rosss attack strength has truly reached the level of a Marine Admiral! The power of this guy Doflamingos face became extremely gloomy. In this brief encounter, he had already judged that Rosss strength is extraordinary and he is almost above him in speed and attack. And more importantly, the Ito Ito No Mi (String-String Fruit) showed very little restraint in front of the Distortion Fruit, the original sharp string lost its sharpness under the power of distortion. Whiz! Rosss eyes were as tranquil as water and he didnt plan to give Doflamingo a chance to think about countermeasures. His figure suddenly flickered as he came in front of Doflamingo. Currently, he is able to control the power of distortion to a near-subtle degree, he can attack in wide range pattern and he can also condense it into a line or even shrink to a point! Not good! Doflamingo, aware of the power of Rosss attack raised his hand without hesitation. Kumo No Sugaki(Spiders Web)! The innumerable silk threads interweave into a large web and his arms and the part of web his arms touched condense into a dark layer of Armament Haki. But even so, the whole spiderweb wall showed a weird Distortion the moment Rosss sword touched it and like an ordinary spiderweb covering a bird, the spiderweb wall completely collapsed under an unequal force. Siii! At the moment when the spiderweb wall was broken, Doflamingo avoided the attack while going sideways. The Distortion strike fell on the ground and instantly cut the ground into a crack of hundreds of meters long! The two Division Captain saw Doflamingo in distress and immediately offered support. They attacked Ross from left and right. Rosss face remained unchanged as he slightly raised his left and right arm and his elbows slammed toward both sides. Bang! The two different powers of distortions erupted on both sides and the air turned into a whirlpool-like Distortion and hit the two CP0 Division Captains and caused them to fly backward. Doflamingo sank low and crossed his hands and slammed them towards Ross, two extremely thick super-twisting whips hit Ross, but the Happy Spring in Rosss hands swept them away. Siii! Siii! The two super-twisting whips that were enough to cut a town in half were cut in two parts under Rosss sword, the two whips fell to the ground and disappeared. Ross held his sword in both hands and slashed it at Doflamingo. Instead of concentrating the power of distortion into a single line, Ross hit the entire front area of him. Kumo No Sugaki(Spiders Web)! Doflamingo spread his hands and cast multiple spiderwebs wall. Buzz!! When the power of distortion falls, the multi-interwoven cobweb wall presents an appalling depression as if it was withstanding a tremendous impact and it reached its limit in half a second. Under the terrible Distortion depression, the cobweb threads broke off one by one, and eventually collapsed completely and Doflamingo dropped from the sky and smashed into the palace. Ross ignored the two Division Captains and directly charged into the palace. Killing the Division Captains will give him nothing as he has already collected the reward for killing one on the Sky Island. Today, his only target is Donquixote Family and the only prey he cares about is Doflamingo. Crumbling Earth! Ross, who fell above the palace, did not rush into the broken palace, but raised his foot and poured the power of distortion into the palace. The next moment. In front of the astounding eyes of countless Donquixote Family members and the civilians of Dressrosa, the huge Dressrosa palace appears as if a pair of invisible hands pinching the upper and lower ends of it and then turning them in different directions. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the palace, which is more than a hundred meters high became broken ruins under the power of Distortion. A shocking scene presented itself in front of everyone! CHAPTER 196 AWAKEN VS AWAKEN Damn Inside the palace, Doflamingo with Armament Haki covering his arms holds the walls on both sides to resist the invading power of distortion. Although he was able to resist Ross powers with the help of the two Division Captains, Deoflamingo realized clearly that even with the help of two CP0 Division Captains, he could no longer hide his strength, otherwise, he would not be able to fight Ross at all! Bang! Bang! Rosss two strikes repelled the two Division captains and he charges into the ruins of the palace that had turned into a spiral like a twist. And almost at the moment before he rushed to the ruins, a strange force suddenly shrouded the entire ruins and the ruins began to turn into white silk, which eventually spread from bottom to the top. String fruit awakening! Did he finally use it? Ross looked at the ruins of the palace, which had turned into countless white silk threads. Since the awakening of his Distortion Fruit, Ross has been exerting the power of awakening and now he has a real attack force comparable to a Marine Admiral. Doflamingos strengths in all aspects are inferior to a Marine Admiral. Only by using fruit awakening can he be qualified to fight against an Admiral, but he is only qualified to fight against them and not win. If he doesnt use his fruit awakening then he doesnt even have that qualification. Doflamingo is inside the Palace, his face is morphed into a very depressed expression as he did not want to expose his fruit awakening ability, after all, the awakening of the String Devil fruit is his ace in hole, By utilizing his ace card, his strength or defense will surge to a terrible point and he doesnt want anyone to know about it. But faced with the Strong and outrageous power that Ross displayed, he had to expose his power if he wishes to live. Ever White! Since it has already been exposed, Doflamingo, who has a strong temperament, will naturally not be immersed in depression, but will use all of his powers, killing Ross here! Under his control, some of the ruins of the Palace turned into countless white strings which tangled toward Ross in an instant and the endless white strings seemed to have turned into waves as they surged madly towards their target. For him to be pushed this far Diamante, who is fighting Metal Giant and other top cadres of the family such as Pica who is fighting the Sand Giant are all looking at this scene with flashing eyes. They are the only top cadres who know that Doflamingo has the power of awakening. Nobody expected Ross to be so powerful that Doflamingo had to use his Devil Fruits awakening power. Ghost Hand Ross is really not a guy to be taken lightly, but since Doffy used his Devil Fruit Awakening, it should be enough to reverse the situation. Trebol, who is protecting a special person Sugar in the Underground port, looks at the image projected by the Den Den Mushi and cant help but sneeze. Sugar on the side was carrying a basket of grapes, and she was also looking at the projected picture. She ate and whispered to Trebol while she was eating. Youre too wicked, You should go die! I wont die, I wont listen to a stupid brat like you! Hey hey hey, although there have been many accidents but the situation is still under control. Trebol looks at the picture projected on the projection. Neither Trebol nor Sugar was aware that a figure wearing a high ceremonial hat was hiding in the darkness tens of meters away from them. Hoo Huu. Distortion Cut! Faced with the incoming white strings, Ross gripped the handle of his sword with his five fingers and poured the power of distortion and converge it on the handle, splitting the coming strings with a fierce sword wave. Siii! The power of distortion splits the white string from the center into two halves and sword attack runs all the way through the earth, cutting a crack hundreds of meters in length. The first half of the white silk line stopped and collapsed in the air, but it was again condensed in the next moment and attacked Ross. For the String fruit, awakening means qualitative change! Currently, Doflamingos attacking powers are still inferior to Ross but the gap is not very large, although his body is weaker than Ross, but in terms of Haki, Doflamingo is above Ross. In front of the existence of this level, there are few people who are good at all aspects. Most of them are outstanding in one or two fields, such as speed, physique, attack and so on. Is it faster or stronger? No one can master everything. Looking at the white string wave, Ross blinked and put the Happy Spring into its scabbard. He swooped down and waved his fist into the white string wave. Bang! Bang! Bang! As if a group of magic dances, silk threads continue to explode and converge. Inside the ruins of Palace, which is being affected by the String Devil fruit, there are successive bursts of depressed sounds echoing from there, like a bee flying into the closed flower bones, constantly bumping back and forth. The Two CP0 Division Captain saw this scene and they both stood still. About half a minute later, the consecutive sound stopped and the white waves burst apart. Doflamingos figure flew upside down from the white line and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Whiz! Rosss figure also rushed out of the Palace ruins as he continues to attack Doflamingo without giving him any chance to breathe. Before reaching Doflamingo, he punched directly. Doflamingo releases the Spiders Web and he was successfull in removing some part of the power of distortion before it hit him causing him to breaks into a building. After smashing into the building, he used his powers to turn the building into strings and continues to attack Ross. Not far away, the two CP0 Division Captain saw Doflamingo use a special force but he was still not Rosss opponent, They couldnt help but look at each other and rush up again. At this moment. The news that Dressrosa was in chaos and completely reduced to battlefield had already been transmitted to Marine Headquarters, and Sengoku rubbed his eyebrows with some headache as he listened to the report on the battlefield over there. If he had been decisive at that time and sent Marine Admiral directly in advance, he would not have caused this kind of trouble, but even now, with two CP0 Division Captain, there should be no major problems. As long as Kizaru catches up, the situation can be put under control again. For him. Although Doflamingo is also a garbage in the sea, He is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea that signed the agreement with the government. He could not be defeated by Ross. Although they are all pirates, Doflamingos existence, however dark, at least balance the sea, while Ross has made the sea a mess, making the government and Marine lose face countless times. They can never let Ross continue to sail anyway! CHAPTER 197 DESIGN Off White(Shield White String)! Doflamingo waved his hands and the earth surged like a wave, blocking Rosss fists coming towards him. Bang! The fist fell and the line of distortion collapsed. Doflamingo folded his arms in front of him and displayed Armament Haki to resisting the aftermath of the power of distortion, then picks his finger and the string behind Ross slammed toward him. Originally, A String Devik Fruit User is good at air warfare, but in front of Ross, air warfare is obviously a foolish tactic. Doflamingo abandoned air warfare completely when he realized that Ross was faster in the air than he was, and turned to ground warfare with the power of awakening. Tekkai (Iron Body) punch! The fist of the Division Captain slammed toward Ross. The powerful force behind the punch made a wind pressure and turned it into a huge fist, which went to the back of Ross. Ross waved off Doflamingos string attack and then shoved it out before turning around and breaking the Division Captains long-range punch and then he turned back and continued to attack Doflamingo. Now only one CP0 Division Captain is left against him, because when Doflamingos abilities awakened, the gap between their strength became very small, and the two of them are basically wasting their fighting power, so the other one begins to deal with the other Ghost Hand Pirate members. After he used his devil fruit awakening powers, Doflamingo was only slightly weaker than Ross and add a Division Captain with him, the battle was stagnant for a time. On the other side. With Donquixote Familys many cadres and top cadres working together and one Division Captain assisting, the three giants and Law and Robins offensive could be stopped. The situation is gradually turning in favor of the Donquixote Family. Its beyond my expectation for you to have such a strong fighting force, but my subordinates arent newbies either, fufufu Doflamingo teamed up with a CP0 Division Captain to deal with Ross. Although he was slightly inadequate, he was able to support and noticed the situation on the other side. He could not help but send out a sneer, trying to influence Rosss mind. However. At this moment, Ross has already entered the state of Spirit Heart and his emotions are completely unaffected by foreign objects. His entire figure is like a miniature version of Whitebeard, dashing and crashing. Even Doflamingos full awakening shield white string line can only block Ross for the time being. Buzz!! Distortion light burst out, temporarily affecting Doflamingo. Ross punched and broke the shield white string line and caused Doflamingo to fly out. The blow almost stifled Doflamingos bizarre laughter in the middle, causing him to fall apart in pink feathers and a little blood spilled from his mouth again. Your laughter is terrible, so stop laughing. Ross regains his fist with indifferent eyes and breaks through the interference of the CP0 Division Captain with a backhand blow and charges into Doflamingo again. Doflamingos face turned a little black, with a faint look of anger. His hands waved violently and numerous strings converged, turning into ten very thick spikes, with the purple Armament Haki covering their tips. Dont be too arrogant God Thread! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! The holy bullets that were condensed burst out in an instant and rushed towards Ross, covering all of Rosss dodge routes. Ross was not afraid. He stepped forward and the Power of distortion was activated. He grabbed several white lines and pulled them hard on both sides. The Tenacious thread was torn apart by the rigid Distortion. The Battle is still going on. While Doflamingo was concentrating on fighting Ross with all his might, a strange force suddenly swung away from Donquixotes Underground area and instantly swept across the island. Underground factory. Laffitte stood there in a black cape, laughing and not far away from his lay Sugar with foam in her mouth caused because of her fainting, Trebol stood near Sugar with an extremely ugly expression on his face. For the war against the Donquixote Family in Dressrosa, a careful plan had been drawn up as early as in the beginning. All the members of the Donquixote Family and almost all of their fighting powers were listed by Ross and he made detailed plans for the war. So to speak. Everything that happened so far is within the expected range! If you know everything about the Donquixote Family and know all the Doflamingo hidden cards and you still cant do this then its just questioning the IQ of Ross, Robin, and others! You areDemon Sherrif Laffitte! Trebol had an angry and panicky look on his face. He had no idea that the Ghost-Hand Pirates would know about Sugar and would target her. This is a big trouble! Dressrosa, the country of pirates, or the country of toys, has always been a symbol of light, and the government has supported the legal plunder of it by a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, which can suppress all public opinion. But. Once the darkness hidden in the light is exposed, this so-called achievement will turn into a huge scandal, which can not only destroy the status of Doflamingo Seven Warlords of the Sea in an instant but also seriously damage the prestige of the government! On the ground. The exotic power gushing out after Sugar fainted has no effect on Ross and others, but it changed all the toys who are forgotten human beings. One by one, they are restored to their original shape. What happened?! Doflamingos Kenbonshoku (Observation) noticed this and his face changed instantly. The CP0 Division Captains also perceive the changes on the island and reveals a strange expression, toys are human beings, even they did not know that. After being turned into toys, everything about them will disappear from everyones memories, Sugar can be said to be the deepest hidden card of the Donquixote Family. It seems that my subordinates arent newbies either. Ross calmly threw back Doflamingos words at him. Doflamingo suddenly turned his head and looked at Ross. The pupils under the sunglasses contracted violently. His face became very ugly and his heart was shaken. Theres no doubt about that. Its Sugar! For the sake of safety, Trebol was sent to protect Sugar secretly and not to participate in the Battle. It was only for the sake of safety but unexpected, something really happened. But. How did Ross know about Sugars secret? Doflamingo is no longer as calm as before. Once something happens to Sugar, Dressrosas dark screen will be instantly exposed to the whole world. The influence of public opinion will put great pressure on the government and they will definitely cancel his Shichibukai identity. The series of consequences that have been triggered are almost unimaginable. This must not be exposed at any cost! CHAPTER 198 THE DARKNESS OF THE WORLD Doflamingo gritted his teeth in anger and his face became extremely depressed and various thoughts flashed through his mind and he finally showed a touch of decisiveness. Even if this island is completely destroyed and everyone is wiped out, the darkness of this country of toys cannot be exposed to the whole world! Birdcage! While blocking Rosss attack, he moved his hand and lifted it toward the sky. The earth instantly surges with a bunch of white strings and they converge toward the sky and then divides into numerous silk lines and like an umbrella, they covered the whole island! Doflamingo, what are you doing?! The Division Captains face changed. He didnt know about sugar, but he knew about the ability of birdcage because Doflamingo had used it before. Doflamingo said coldly: Everything here must not be exposed. You should be very clear about this. Even if you ask Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) now, you will definitely get the same answer! The Division Captain blinked a few times. Thats right. If any dark deed done by any of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is exposed then it will indeed cause huge damage to the face of the government. The Seven Warlords of the Sea has signed a treaty with the Government which means that everything done by them shows that the government is behind them. The government will do everything in its power to stop the spread of the scandal that can harm them and cover it up. If it cant be stopped, they will definitely use Buster Call to bury all scandals on the seabed! Birdcage Ross looked up at the sky, at the birdcage that covered the entire island of Dressrosa, and a trace of light flashed through his eyes. Everything, including this step so far, has been done in perfect accordance with his expectations. Doflamingo is just one of the purposes of this trip, and another is to let the government and Marine know. What will it cost them to force him into becoming a pirate! Almost immediately after the birds cage covered Dressrosa, several figures came out from a boat that had been docked on the shore somewhere in Dressrosa. It has finally begun. Captain is a genius, He even predicted this situation Kaku and others looked at the island, which was covered by various lines, and could not help but take a deep breath. Its time to work! In the next moment, several people took out the video Den Den Mushi and went to different places using Gepp (Moonwalk) and some ran along the shore of Dressrosa. The birdcage can sever all the radio waves inside the island, which is the ultimate method for Doflamingo to cover everything, but it has a small problem, that is, it has no effect on the outside of the island! Now, several people switched on the video Den Den Mushi to record the events, at the same time. Sabaody Archipelago. Kalifa opened the image Den Den Mushi The Kingdom of Sith. Blueno turned on the image Den Den Mushi Fleetland island. A Sky islander opened the image Den Den Mushi There are seven or eight large islands surrounding Dressrosa and they are prosperous area, everything that happened in Dressrosa, it was projected there. Even special screens were set up in some islands such as Sabaody Archipelago by Kalifa to receive the signal directly banned to show the live scenario, so anything that will happen in Dressrosa can be instantly viewed here! Look, what is that? What a strange image, this What is this? Many civilians saw the image and at first, they found these images strange but they soon saw the innumerable scenes of slaughter and fighting in the streets of a birdcage-like island. From toys turning into humans, the ordinary civilians and scouts from various forces and even members of the Revolutionary Army, Marines, and the government people fell into chaos at the moment they watched the scenes from the Den Den Mushi. It looks like Dressrosa! That country of toys? How could it be like that? Countless people look at the projected pictures with stunned faces. They have seen this country countless times in the newspapers and it was full of sunshine and joy-filled the streets and now it has become such a hell. Like a stone falling into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves! In just a few minutes, these projections began to spread all over the world. This time, the scope was too wide. By the time the World Government responded, it was too late. This is the so-called enthusiastic and passionate country? The country which is developing very fast under a perfect pirate? God What the hell are the government and Marines doing! Numerous people clenched their fists, some showed anger, some showed fear, and some were at a loss. This effect was spreading to the whole world. Marine Headquarters. Damn It! Sengoku looked at the incoming picture and punched the table in front of him causing it to crack. He shouted angrily: Who can tell me what kind of foolish thing Doflamingo is doing? Hasnt Kizaru arrived yet?! At the same time, the top level of the World Government, Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) faces also became ugly to the extreme. Such a picture is broadcast all over the world. Its like stepping on the face of the government and crushing it for a few feet! Even if Doflamingo is destroyed and even if the Ghost Pirates become twice as powerful to any Yonk (Four Emperors) force. It is still nothing in the eyes of Gorsei (Five Elder Stars). But. The impact of such an event can be described as unprecedented and it is almost the worst situation that has happened since they came to power! The losses are not measurable in terms of combat power anymore. No one would have thought that Dressrosa was hiding such darkness in it. Whats more, the Ghost-Hand Pirates announced all this in a live broadcast to the entire world! Rosss phrase youre five idiots some time ago, is just like the sole of a shoe now that is slapping their faces hard at this moment. How can they salvage the situation? The five people almost began to think about how to salvage the situation in the first place, but this kind of event that has spread so wide is not something they can cover up by simply arranging some lies. Idiots! Cut off all the signals right now! Five Sir Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), this event is being broadcasted on many islands at the same time. We can not cut off all the signal at the same time! There was an trace of anxiousness on the face of government officials. The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) bit his teeth: Then cut them off one by one, let the Marines also move out. Make sure that the impact is kept to a minimum range! At this moment. The broadcast picture began to become more and more wicked, Doflamingo had tried to slaughter the entire island to cover up the truth. The CP0 of the government subordinates also assisted him and even the Vice-Admiral Vergo, who represents the Marine side, is assisting Doflamingo in his massacre. Let CP0 and Marine stop for the time being. No, no signal, we have no way to contact them. Doflamingos birdcage now completely isolates the interior of Dressrosa, making the two Division Captain, and the Marines unable to hear the governments orders and signals, and they do not know that everything is being broadcast to all over the world! They are still in a bloody massacre of unknown origin. At that moment, an official rushed over with panic on his face and said, Not good, the broadcast was also found in Kel Island! And Nicot Island! What? Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) faces changed again. It has been ten minutes since the incident broke out. As a result, the broadcast has not been fully disconnected and it is growing and spreading. Its the Revolutionary Army, That bunch of bastards! A curse escaped from the mouth of a high-level government official. At this time, not only the Revolutionary Army but also those who are oppressed by the government and hate the government, are all too keen to seize this opportunity, such as this kind of thing that can cause serious damage to the government without any hard work, why not seize it?! In a short period of time, the scope of broadcasting not only failed to be contained but grew larger and larger, spreading to the world as the more time passed! The whole battlefield of Dressrosa is in front of the world. Facing the world! CHAPTER 199 ROUTING Inside the Birdcage. Except for Ross and his people, nobody knows whats happening right now. The current events are being broadcasted all over the world, whether its Doflamingo, CP0 or Vergo, everyone in the World is watching them without them even knowing about it. I dont know where you got this information, you know the secrets of Dressrosa, Ghost Hand RossBut in that case, we can only completely bury this secret on this island! Doflamingo spoke in a cold voice, waved his hands and the whole street turned into innumerable white silk strings, sweeping madly towards Ross. Boom! Ross was suspended in mid-air, and with a backhand wave, the white strings were disturbed by the power of distortion. Its almost time. Not telling Doflamingo what happened, nor telling CP0 what happened, because Ross now doesnt care about all the enemies on this island. What he wanted was a wave that will spread all over the world, striking fiercely on the face of the World Government and Marines. Since they claim to be just, he will completely open up the dark side of the so-called justice. Distortion, sonic explosion! Rosss eyes shimmered in the light, and the sound exploded. Almost instantly, the loud hoarse sound exploded in the ears of Doflamingo and the CP0 Division Captain, making both of their eardrum Buzz and causing them to get dizzy! Ross dived down towards Doflamingo and before he arrived, his fist wrapped in the power of distortion fell in midair. Buzz!! The air was hit and getting a Distortion shape, the fist slammed down. Under the influence of sonic boom, Doflamingo could not control the ability of string awakening. He could not defend against Rosss strike with a white shield line. He could only lay his arms on top of his head and use Armament Haki on them in an attempt to resist Rosss attack. But. Doflamingo wasnt able to resist Luffy in his fourth gear with Armament Haki alone and Rosss current attack power is even stronger than Luffys fourth gear! Bang! The earth under Doflamingos feet suddenly collapsed. Blood flew from his mouth and his whole body was slightly distorted, he crashed into the bottom of the pit he created. Damn it! CP0 Division Captain got rid of the impact of the sonic boom and saw this scene and was surprised. Although he doesnt know what happened to Doflamingo, that was a really heavy blow! Diamante was aware of the crisis and tried to rush in to help, but was forcibly stopped by Kyros, who had rushed out of the darkness and had changed from a toy to a human figure. The other Division Captain tried to rush over, but he was attacked by Hajrudin and was contained in midair and could not get rid of Hajrudins speed. As for Vergo and others, they are farther away and have no time to support. Coughcough! At the bottom of the pit, Doflamingos Sunglasses showed signs of fragmentation. He coughed violently and bled constantly from his mouth. He didnt expect Ross to have such strength to make him use Armament Haki to resist a blow and he also did not expect to receive such injuries from Rosss attack even after he used Armament Haki. Shield white string! Watching Ross dive down from the sky, Doflamingo takes a breath and displays the white shield string and at the same time, he also used the spiders web, a double defense against Rosss attack. At the same time, he exerted the ability of string fruits to repair his injuries and temporarily restrained and replaced his Distortion muscles with strings. Bang! Bang! Rosss fist fell and the white string shield collapsed in half, another fist fell and the white string shield collapsed completely, followed by a footfall, the innumerable cobwebs of the spiders web showed a terrible distorted shape, sinking towards the bottom of the pit, and then one by one the tension broke off. The CP0 Division Captain tried to come and help, but Ross shook him off with a backhand punch. He did not have the ability to block Ross in a positive way. Only when Doflamingo blocked Ross, he was able to make some involvement by virtue of his physique and speed. Whiz! Doflamingo grabbed his finger, cut the line off the ground near him, flew from one side and fled to the distance, bringing the speed to his limit. Rosss Kenbonshoku (Observation) had already perceived Doflamingos escape movement and he calmly followed him, chasing him all the way. Its not easy to completely defeat and kill someone at Doflamingos level, if he wants to escape, Even a Marine Admiral wont be able to stop him much less killing him. But. Now in the interior of the birdcage, coupled with his injuries, Rosss airspeed is no less than his and the escape conditions are not available, where would he escape to?! That isDoflamingo! And Ghost Hand Ross! The civilians of Dressrosa, at this moment, saw the crazy escape in the sky, Doflamingo was using his strings to trap Ross and trying to escape his pursuit but behind him, Ross was unstoppable, wherever any string hit him, it was broken by Ross. By this time, everyone knows the truth behind Dressrosa, and the highly popular Doflamingo has become the embodiment of evil and demon. Kill Doflamingo! Hurry up and end it all Looking at the approaching birdcage, many civilians were angry, crying and praying. Nearly seven hours have passed since Ross and his party boarded Dressrosa to fight Donquixote Family. The result is that Doflamingo is completely defeated and Donquixote Family is in a festering defeat. If you want to escape, you have to remove the birdcage, but if you remove the birdcage, everything here will be made public, and you will lose Donquixote Family and all your status. Ross followed Doflamingo in the air and continued to pull closer and said with a cold voice and his words affected Doflamingos mind. Doflamingo was also aware of the situation and he was grinding his teeth constantly, he did not expect Ross to push him to this level, but in his view, there was still hope. As long as a Marine Admiral can arrive on time! Seeing that words could hardly affect Doflamingo, Ross stopped talking and caught up calmly. After a blow broke the thread of Doflamingos defense, the aftermath of the power of distortion finally reached Doflamingos back. Doflamingo staggered in the air, bleeding again from his mouth. He flew forward and crashed through a building. He forced a change of direction and continued to escape. Whiz! Whiz! Ross is well aware of Doflamingos current state. If he takes at most one attack like that, he will lose the ability to escape. If he takes two more strikes, hes basically not far from death. CHAPTER 200 ICE-COLD Keeping up with Doflamingo and walking through the streets, Ross kept breaking through the cobwebs made by Doflamingo and drew closer and punched out again. Boom! Doflamingos entire body slammed forward and a large amount of blood spilled from his mouth. This time he was finally unable to escape and his figure swayed as he fell to the side. At this time, Deoflamingo landed near the edge of the cage, and the center of the cage was shrinking here. He stumbled to the ground. But when he landed, he was stunned as he took an inadvertent glance, because the cage had been contracted for a long time, and there was not much room left and he can see everything that is happening outside the cage. Just outside the birdcage, he saw a figure walking in the air using Gepp (Moonwalk), holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand, and recording something in the direction. Doflamingo stared. He is a person who is good at strategy and calculation. Almost instantaneously, a terrible thought came into his mind. Does it mean that everything about Dressrosa is being broadcasted live? Ross slowly fell behind Doflamingo, glanced outside the birdcage to look at Kaku who is holding the video Den Den Mushi and his gaze returned to Doflamingo. Doflamingos expressions were stiff as he turned his head a little bit and looked at Ross. If, from the beginning to this moment, even though he had completely lost the chance to escape, he still had no fear of Ross, then when he realized that everything in Dressrosa had been recorded by the Den Den Mushi outside the cage, a trace of fear finally arose in his heart. How could this be! This is not about the gap in strength anymore, but it is as if every step he took was already anticipated by Ross and he prepared counters for those steps, his plans were completely seen by Ross from head to toe and anything he do will become Rosss further design! It is as if in the course of the game with his opponent, he found that every move he took was designed by his opponent, and everything that happened from beginning to end is within his opponents calculation! You Doflamingos body is stiff and his heart is cold. The only person who can make him feel this way is Great Staff Officer Tsuru of Marine Headquarters, that is the reason he turns his head every time he sees a crane, because in the past he was almost beaten and killed in his confrontations with her, each and every step he took were accurately predicted by the other. Now, theres one more person like this and that is Ross in front of him! Looks like youve found something. Unfortunately, you are almost finished, and then its time to contribute your final role. Ross gazed calmly at Doflamingo, stepping forward with a knife-like arm, slanting toward Doflamingo. Doflamingo has already lost his ability to resist. Siii! With a power of distortion knife, Doflamingos head was cut off in an instant, rolling down to the ground not far away, and the pair of sunglasses broke. Seven Warlords of the Sea, Heavenly Yaksha Doflamingo, has been hunted and killed, earned a reward, 25 Talent Proficiency Points, 1 Free Talent Point. Listening to the synthesized system sound coming from his ear, Ross breathed in his heart. Although there was not much proficiency, he got one Free Talent Point and it more than made up for all the preparations. With Doflamingos death, the birdcage that covered the entire Dressrosa quickly dissipated, and the scene was clearly broadcasted to all over the world. Kaku watched the birdcage dissipate and took a video to Den Den Mushi and flew closer to Ross. Ross saw the nearby Kaku and looked at the video of Den Den Mushi. He knew that the footage recorded by Den Den Mushi should be broadcast live to the world. He looked calm. You should know everything about Dressrosa. But what I want to say is that I am not a savior Its just that I cant get used to the fact that some people get away with these things, so Ill make the darkness public. Thats all. With such a sentence, Ross turned and disappeared into the ruined streets. Kaku and others did not close the video Den Den Mushi, but looked at the ruins of Dressrosa, found several better locations on the ruins, fixed the video Den Den Mushi that will now continue to record the follow-up Battle situation of Dressrosa without them. On the chaotic battlefield in front of the palace, the Den Den Mushi rang on the bodies of the two CP0 Division Captain as soon as the birdcage disappeared. What did you say?! Hearing the words coming from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, their faces hidden under the masks changed instantaneously, only to feel a sense of coolness pouring on their bodies from head to toe as if they had been thrown a basin of ice water. As the Division Captains of CP0, they are naturally aware of the consequences that will follow by making this whole thing public. This is probably a real hit on the World Government in 800 years! The birdcage has disappeared On the other side, Vergo, wearing the justice cloak of Vice-Admiral, Marine Branch, watched the disappearance of the cage in the sky, and his heart sank. He knew what the disappearance of the cage meant. At this time, the Den Den Mushi on his body rang. In silence, he received the Den Den Mushi, and a cold voice with repressed anger like a volcanic eruption came from the other side. Do you know what stupid thing you did? Vice-Admiral Vergo! After hearing the news from the other side of Den Den Mushi, Vergo was just like the CP0 Division Captains and others and he instantly felt ice running from his head to toe. Even if Doflamingo is defeated, as long as they are all alive, there is still a chance to make a comeback with the identity of an original tenryubito and the core of the Dark World trade. But. If everything that happened in Dressrosa is made public, then Doflamingo will be completely finished. The government would not be able to tolerate such events at all! With the governments style of action, they are bound to push the matter out of ignorance and all onto Doflamingo, in order to save the face of the government as much as possible. Its over. Vergo was standing still in the same place, and he knew that this time it was completely over. Dressrosas Battle continues. Ross spends almost a third of his stamina against Doflamingo. After killing Doflamingo, Ross took part in the battle against the Donquixote Family. After receiving the news from the government, the two CP0 Division Captains gave up on the Donquixote Family decisively and escaped one step ahead of time. Sneer! Laffittes mahogany cane penetrated Trebols heart, and their Battle ended up narrowly victorious by Laffitte, who himself suffered minor injuries. He gasped for a moment, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and watched Trebol fall to the ground, his smiled slyly and picked up Sugar who had not yet woken up. CHAPTER 201 KIZARU ARRIVES On the other side. With the loss of two CP0 Division Captain, the remaining members of the Donquixote Family were totally unable to resist the attack of Hajrudin and others, not to mention the attacks done by Ross. After a short while, only two or three Donquixote main family members were left and the other cadres were basically dead and wounded. Whiz! Rosss figure flashed past, and Happy Spring in his hand cut across the Rock Giant Pica. His Observation Haki accurately captured his physical position and killed him. With the death of Pica, the Donquixote Family was completely defeated. !! Both Road and Stansen recovered their original form and their bodies were filled with many injuries. The strength of Donquixote Familys cadres and the highest cadres were still of a certain level. Even though they had very high defense, they could not remain intact under siege with an enemy. As for Hajrudin, his injuries were much lighter and he was only slightly injured. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is close to invincibility, but not completely invincible. There is almost no completely invincible Devil Fruit in this world. Captain Ross, what you want is brought. Just after Ross killed Pica, Laffitte came out of the rubble, carrying a small box with legitimate carrots in it The Hobi Hobi no Mi ability user Sugar. Good job. Ross sensed Sugars situation and nodded at Laffitte, Sugars ability can still play a big role in some cases. Last time, he also wanted to capture Perona for this reason but that was interrupted by Aokiji. He doesnt know if she was caught by Marine or went someplace else. This time, he will not lose Sugar. After Law confirmed Doflamingos death, the hatred in his heart finally dissipated, but he was not confused nor lost as now he had only one identity, Ghost Hand Pirates Surgeon of Death. Ross, the Dwarves Race found this. Robin came up from a distance and there was a little blood on her shoulder but the injury was not serious. She was the only one on the ship who occasionally called Ross by his first name. Walking next to Ross, Robin took out a delicate Devil Fruit. Barrier-Barrier Fruit? Ross looked at the exquisite Devil Fruit, which consisted of a small layer of bi-colored barriers and his mind flashed as he immediately thought of something. Robin nodded and smiled: It should be something that Donquixote Family got and havent had the time to give it to anyone. It was the right choice to kill Doflamingo. Ross slightly smiled, now Hajrudin and other giants have increased their experience of actual combat and he also got the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, plus Sugar, it can be said that their overall strength has increased dramatically. However. Now is not the time to stay and count the harvest. A Marine Admiral is likely to arrive at any time. Dressrosa is still a place of right and wrong and is under the World Government. At least for the time being, they cant occupy it as their place. Its time to go. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ross nodded and immediately ordered the evacuation and a group of people quickly retreated toward the area where their ship was located. Kaku and others have already taken the lead. But when a group of people crossed the ruined street and quickly retreated toward the coast, something that Ross expected but was not a good thing happened. Buzz!! The brilliant golden light cut across the horizon, from Dressrosas shore with the incredible speed as it shuttles towards the ruins of Dressrosa, rushing to catch up. Marine Headquarters Admiral, Kizaru! You go first. Rosss face remained unchanged when he saw the golden light coming towards him. Kizaru was bound to arrive here sooner or later with his speed, but as long as he had killed Doflamingo, it was already too late. Now, he is no longer the same person he was in the Sabaody Archipelago. At that time, it was necessary to use the ability of sonic boom to make a short-lived fight with Kizaru. But now, even if the odds are low for him to win, if he wants to retreat then Kizaru wont be able to stop him. Then well withdraw first, Captain. Be careful. Laffitte and others are very aware of the gap between them and a Marine Admiral and now it is not the time to fight with a Marine Admiral. Everyone except Ross has been injured and their stamina consumption is also very serious and they are temporarily unable to support a second battle. Hajrudin and other giants wanted to support Ross, but eventually, they pulled out. Whiz! Kizaru tried to go straight ahead of the crowd and stop everyone, but Rosss figure flashed as his Observation Haki caught Kizaru in advance and blocked him. The 25 Talent Proficiency points that Doflamingo provided were decisively put to Observation Haki by Ross. To deal with Kizaru, Kenbonshoku (Observation) is more important and with the addition of 25 points, his Kenbonshoku (Observation) proficiency has reached 125 points and he is basically at the same level as a Marine Admiral and he can capture Kizarus movements more clearly. Really, can you stop tossing around like that, ghost-handed pirate regiment Kizaru, who was stopped, frowned, his tone was still the habitual and wretched voice, but his face was very depressed. Killing a tenryubito! Killing Shichibukai Doflamingo! Broadcasting the Dressrosa event to the world! Every single one of these things is worse than other and not to mention him, even Sengoku has to be severely reprimanded by the Five Elder Stars and has to take some responsibility. Ross looked at Kizaru and said in a calm tone: Then let me ask you, why did the Marine and the government frame me, I just wanted to be an ordinary Pirate Hunter. Ordinary Pirate Hunter? Kizaru reveals a look that said stop kidding me here. When you were in the Sabaody Archipelago, you made me lose a lot of face. If I dont catch you this time, I really wont be able to explain this to the World Government. Kizaru knew that Ross was delaying the time, but he did not try to bypass Ross to chase Laffitte and others and slowly said. Whiz! Just as his voice fell, Kizaru took a step forward and kicked Ross in front of him with a golden swing of his legs. The speed was so fast that the average person could not even notice what had happened. Even today, Ross still couldnt reach this level of speed, but his Observation Haki can perceive it ahead of time. Boom! Ross folded his arms in front of him, blocking Kizarus kick and the power of distortion stiffened the laser explosion. Then Ross kicked back, his leg wrapped in the power of distortion, to Kizarus waist. Kii! Kizarus body instantly became golden light, then he condensed on the right side of Ross, his fingertips flashed and he shot four or five lasers with explosive power towards Ross. Ross looked calm and punched back with his backhand. Bang!! With a violent sound, the laser exploded and Kizaru and Ross both retreated and withdrew from the envelope of the aftershocks. This seemingly equitable short encounter, but it makes two peoples moods have a completely different change. Ross is relieved. He has determined his power of distortion. It is indeed at the level of a Marine Admiral, enough to make a frontal collision with it, and will not fall into any major disadvantage. Kizaru is shocked. He was amazed at Rosss strength and speed. He was sure that Ross was far from as strong as he is now in the Sabaody Archipelago. In just over half a year, Rosss strength had soared to this extent. How did he do it? CHAPTER 202 FIGHT ONCE MORE Your strength has actually increased so much. Its horrible. It seems that I really cant let you continue sailing again. Kizaru squinted, his figure suddenly turned into a light and he appeared behind Ross kicking towards him at a very fast speed, forcing Ross to resist. Bang! The golden light exploded like a heavy cannon, destroying a piece of ruins in an instant. Zephyr commented that Kizaru relied too much on his devil fruit and rarely practice body techniques, but Kizarus Glint-Glint Fruit has the qualifications to be relied upon and his laser explosion attacks have great power. Whiz! Rosss figure rushed out of the explosion area and the dark-colored hat pressed tightly against his head. After blocking Kizarus blow, Ross pulled out the Happy Spring from his waist and slammed it out. Kizaru captured Rosss attack intentions in advance, and his figure split from the middle into two, turning into two golden lights flashing toward the rear, avoiding Rosss attack. As a Marine Admiral, there is no reason why he would not be able to elementalize in advance. Aokiji was pierced by Whitebeard in the war and he used Kanbonshoku (Observation) to capture the attack in advance and reacted, leaving himself unscathed. Ama no Murakumo (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven)! Avoiding Rosss attack, Kizaru wiped his hands together and turned them into a golden sword, splitting up against Ross. Ross was not afraid and he also waved his sword. Qing! The two sword attacks collided in the air, first sparkling like the sound of gold and iron, and then the power of distortion and the flash of explosion collided, making a violent sound. Ross holds his sword in both hands. Although he is not proficient in sword arts. His Close-Combat Fighting is also a skill that involves all kinds of attacks with the sword. With the power of distortion, even if each sword attack seems ordinary, but it has enough power to kill a Vice-Admiral in seconds. Ding-Ding! Kizaru uses his extremely fast speed to constantly collides with Ross. Glint-Glint Fruit is also extremely aggressive in attacking. In addition, it has already been developed to an extream point and only awakening it will increase its power now. Using his powers, he can compete with Ross and shuttle constantly in the ruins. Kizaru waved his sword as a sword broke out. Rosss eyes flashed and he kicked backward toward Kizaru who was also attacking with his raised legs. But Rosss power of distortion surged, turning Kizarus entire body into a golden light that smashed into the ruins in the distance, triggering a violent explosion that destroyed several buildings around him. Just as Ross was trying to retreat, a golden light shot out of the smoke and ran straight to Rosss back. Ross was forced to avoid it. Then a few golden rays came out of the smoke. Kizaru held up a finger and slowly stepped out of the smoke without any damage. Marine Admiral is Marine Admiral after all. Ross defeated the incoming laser and his eyes flashed. The last time he used his ability to create flaws and made Kizaru suffer a small loss. This time, he is also going to use every single trick he has to create flaws. Although it seemed like he was fooling around but in fact, Kizaru has been in a state of complete seriousness, and a completely serious Marine Admiral, can reveal very few flaws! After all. His Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Armament Haki are extremely strong and his speed is at the peak of this world. The last time I was playing around, you used this trick to escape from me, if I were to be messed by your little tricks again, where would I put my old face? Kizaru seemed to see through Rosss thoughts and said his sentence with carelessness and then he once again turned into a golden light and slammed toward Ross. Ross waved his sword. They fought a big battle and soon reached the video range of Den Den Mushi, fixed on some ruins by Kaku and others. The picture continued to be broadcast to the whole world. Thats Marine Admiral Kizaru! Did a Marine Admiral really go out to deal with Ghost Hand Ross? Is this the so-called justice of Marines! Someone looked at the scene in the picture and could not help speaking with sarcasm. Its easy to fool ordinary people with government influence but in the current situation, the government and Marine cant fool them with this matter in a short time. Their prestige has plummeted in the eyes of civilians all over the world. Run! Dont let the Marines catch you! There are a few radical civilians who have even stood on the side of Ross, supporting him. A concept that is terrible for the Marine and the government. When people no longer support Marines but instead support pirate, where will their justice go? Kizaru knows that his fight with Ross is now being broadcasted, but he is helpless. He cant let Ross escape from Dressrosa. Ross must be arrested here. In any case. As long as Ross is arrested, they will have a way to suppress public opinion, shirking all blame on Doflamingo and Ross, and then use the time to slowly dilute the impact of this matter. It doesnt matter how dark the process is. They just need the results! Bang! Bang! Ross and Kizaru continue to fight fiercely in the sky, spattering a golden aftershock from time to time, and any landing on the ground can cause an explosion, even injuring civilians, which makes the Marines look even worse for people who are watching this fight all over the world. In fact, Ross also caused damage to civilians in this fight but many people have already ignored this. A bad person who has done bad things all his life and suddenly does a good thing one day, he will be considered to have been reformed, but a good person who has done good things all his life does a bad thing one day and he will become a hypocrite. Today, Marine and the government have undoubtedly become such a person, so all the spears are pointed sharply at Marine and the government, completely ignoring the destruction caused by Ross. Oh, it hurts. Kizaru was brushed by Rosspower of distortion on his shoulder during his confrontation with Ross. Although he used Armament Haki defense, his whole shoulder still suffered from an instantaneous pain. Kizaru was injured and Ross also did not get out unscathed. A big hole appeared on the cloths around his chest and abdomen area and a black mark were stuck on his skin, he seemed to have endured a laser attack. Ross had to rely on Armament Haki and his Rocks physique to resist it. When I see you next time, youll feel more pain. Ross was wounded but did not show any pain. Instead, he looked at Kizaru calmly. The moment his voice fell, his whole body suddenly flashed as he flew toward the shore. Laffitte and others have already boarded the ship, and they have been off the coast for a while. Now he only needs to fly to the ship and sink it into the sea again, so they can slip away. He had no intention of fighting Kizaru, not to mention the consumption of stamina in the fight against Doflamingo, he currently cannot win against Kizaru. How could I let you escape twice in the same way? Kizaru knows Rosss intentions very well. With a flash of light in his eyes and a flip of his wrist, a beam of light shoots from his hands and bounces off the ruined streets. Yata no Kagami(Eight Span Mirror) CHAPTER 203 HOPELESS SITUATION Almost instantaneously, the light crossed the Ross in the air, appeared in front of Ross after a reflection and Kizaru disappeared from the sky, suddenly coming in front of Ross and kicked him. Rosss face remained unchanged as he punched out with his right hand. Bang! After a short exchange with Kizaru, Ross kicked back and continued to retreat to the coast. Last time Kizaru could not block him and this time he wont be able to stop him if he is giving his all in escaping. But. This time, Kizaru didnt seem to have any ideas about stooping him by himself. He was just delaying his flight to the shore, by any means, in order to slow him down. Ross could not completely ignore Kizarus attack and involvement, and his flight did become extremely slow with Kizarus involvement. At his speed, from the battles location to the coast, he could reach in at most a dozen seconds, but with Kizaru delaying him, it dragged on for ten minutes. At first, Ross thought that Kizaru was not willing to let him escape. So he tried his best to stop him and tried to inflict more damage on him. But as the fight continued, he realized that he was wrong. Because. In a previous encounter, Kizaru had a chance to give him a hard blow on the back, or even seriously injure him, but Kizaru gave up that chance and continued to go around to his front to block his escape, preferring to give up the chance to attack him on the back to block him here. Kizaru this guy Ross noticed something was wrong. There was no point in delaying him. He would eventually walk away unless Kizaru was waiting for someone. What kind of people can play a key role in such a situation? Aokiji? Akainu? However, this place is still a few days away from the Marine Headquarters. Can it be that the Marine expected this situation as early as a few days ago, sending two Marine Admirals to Dressrosa? Its almost impossible! Not to mention that the World Government has already sent the CP0 to ambush him here in advance, even if there were no CP0 members, dispatching an Admiral and several Headquarters Vice-Admiral to Dressrosa is already their limit. What is Kizaru delaying and waiting for? Ross couldnt think about it in a short time, but Kizaru wanted to stop him here, even if he gave up the chance to seriously injure him, and he could not easily break through Kizarus blockade. One minute Two minutes After another five minutes, Ross finally rushed from the original battle location to the shore of Dressrosa. By this time Laffitte and others had been sailing away from the coast for a long time, because they knew that Kizaru alone would not be able to stop Ross. If they could leave early, Ross would not have to take them with him to escape. Seeing the ship with Laffitte and others in it, it has become a tiny shadow on the horizon, almost disappearing at the end of the line of sight, Ross slightly relaxed and after a hard fight with Kizaru, he charges towards the sea. Already at sea, Kizaru can hardly stop Ross from drilling into the sea. But. Almost as soon as Ross swooped toward the sea level, a huge and terrifying sword energy suddenly came from the distant sea far the sword cut an abyss into the sea nearly a kilometer long! This sword energy cuts up from the sea and down to Ross! Rosss face changed when he saw the sword energy. He thought of Golden Lion for the first time. But the feeling that the sword energy gave him was totally different from that of Golden Lion. It was a totally different style. Distortion Fist! Ross did not hesitate. He sank low and completely aroused the power of distortion. He smashed a hard punch at the incoming sword energy. After breaking the sword energy, he continued to rush to the sea. Theyre finally here The moment Kizaru saw the appearance of the sword energy, the expression on his face finally relaxed, and the face that remained depressed all this time finally showed a relaxed and indecent smile again. After Ross blocked the sword energy, he flashed in front of Ross and continued his fight with Ross to stop him from charging into the sea again. Distortion, sea explosion! Ross took a deep breath and knew that he was in crisis. He slammed low and Gravity Distortion launched against the sea. In an instant. The whole sea area turned upside down, and the seawater of nearly a thousand meters was rolled up in a sultry way, flew into the sky and rushed over to Kizaru. Kizarus face changed. He didnt expect Ross to have this kind of attacks. He was forced to avoid on one side. He was a Devil Fruit user. If he was touched by the sea, it would be a direct defeat. Whiz! Controlling the sea to push Kizaru back, Ross took advantage of his ability to push the walls of Distortion apart and continue to rush downward in the frenzied waves. Almost as soon as he approached the sea, the sword energy that had appeared before, once again broke through the sea. This time, the distance it was sent out from was obviously much closer than before, and the power was also a lot bigger, spilling hard at the huge currents that Ross made. Its you. Rosss eyes flashed as he had long anticipated that the unknown sword arts user would stop him from escaping into the sea again. Without hesitation, he turned his hands over and grabbed the front end of the sword energy as if he were holding the head of a snake. Ross screamed and launched the power of distortion to forcibly hold the sword energy, and pushed it to the rear, where Kizaru was preparing to use his Eight-foot mirror. Seeing that the sword energy was coming in his direction after being thrown by Ross, the wrinkles on Kizarus face became more define and he was forced to stop his attack to resist this sword energy. Whiz! Ross continues to charge into the sea. He doesnt know who sent the sword energy, but the strength of that person is not inferior to Kizaru, and it is not nearly inferior. It is a character close to Kizarus level. Watching Ross use his counterattack to get rid of Kizaru and the unknown sword arts strong blockade and was about to rush into the sea, a bullet burst into the sea, shooting at Ross. The bullet wasnt very fast, but it seemed to have predicted Rosss position in advance, and it contained a very deep layer of Armament Haki! The third person! Ross had a cold feeling crawling up in his heart. He expected Kizaru to appear. He even expected the worst situation. Kizaru and Aokiji appearing at the same time, but did not expect that three people with similar power level would come here! There is no doubt that this bullet was not released by the unknown sword arts user. Zhe! Faced with the bullet that broke through the sea and was very close, Ross was forced to sidestep the bullet and continue to rush into the sea. Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Three bullets burst through the sea again, striking Ross in different directions. These bullets are not very powerful, but they seem to anticipate all Rosss reactions and evasive movements in advance, and each one hits the point where Ross would find it most difficult to deal with them! Kenbonshoku (Observation) PinnacleFuture Prediction?! A single thought flashed through Rosss mind. Under the pressure of three bullets, he was unable to rush into the sea and was once again blocked by Kizaru. When the waves finally faded, the two people who fired the sword energy attack and fired the bullets finally showed their stature. That is a Battleship. The flag of the chief of staff, The Crane, hangs on the Battleship. On the deck of Battleship, The Crane stood in the center, on her left was a fair woman in a pink sleeve with slender legs and bright red lips, holding a Named Sword Konpira in her hand, looking calmly to this side. Marine Headquarters, Admiral alternate. Momousagi! Standing on the right side of the crane is a man in a tea yellow coat with his hands in his trouser pockets, a cigarette in his mouth, and a smile in the direction of Ross. Marine Headquarters, Admiral alternate. Tokikake! It turned out to be them Rosss gaze calmed down. As the Admiral candidate for the Marine Headquarters, it is natural for them to have the strength that is close to Kizaru. A current Headquarters Admiral, two Admiral candidates, and Great Staff Officer Tsuru with an unknown strength. This is Hopeless Situation! CHAPTER 204 TRAPPED You almost didnt make it. Momousagi stood beside Crane holding the Named Sword in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Tokikake smiled and said: Its not that I almost didnt make it, but your sword arts didnt do any better, you still need to train your skills. Momousagi: The Crane ignored the two. She was dressed in a justice clock of Marine. She stood on the deck wearing the justice clock of Marine, her back slightly bent. She looked at Ross from afar, her eyes slightly muddy, seemingly showing a trace of regret. She had been chasing Doflamingo for the longest time, so after judging that Ross might have been targeting Dressrosa, she rushed here in her own Battleship. Momousagi was like her sister. After hearing the news, she took the initiative to go with her. Tokikake heard Momousagi travel and immediately followed up. So the three started traveling with Kizaru. Kizaru took the first step in the emergency of Dressrosa. They just arrived. Doflamingos defeat is not unfair. The Crane said slowly. Rosss approach has been similar so far and he always had a plan before dealing with the pirates he killed. In her judgment, it is clear that before coming for Doflamingo, he has already made various plans and there was no luck involved in his defeat. Ross looked at Crane and said nothing. In fact, the arrival of Crane was slightly predicted by him, but Momousagi and Tokikake would follow her has been completely beyond his expectation. The situation today is even worse than facing two Marine Admirals. If Momousagi and Kizaru were the only ones, he would still be able to escape from them, but Momousagi Tokikake, plus Kizaru, were almost equivalent to three Marine Admiral standing in front of him and he is not clear about their powers. Just like Aokiji, he can still escape from Akainu or Kizaru, who is also Marine Admiral with almost similar strength, if he faced them alone, but on one to three, he almost has no hope. Vice-Admiral Erman, you go after the Ghost Hand Pirates. Instead of dividing Momousagi and Tokikake, the Crane directly allowed the accompanying fleet to divide three large Battleships and chase after Laffitte and others in the direction they left. The intention of this arrangement is to let Laffitte and others have a chance to escape, but also to leave Ross completely alone without giving him any chance. Now. Kizaru did not attack directly, Momousagi and Tokikake also did not continue their attacks, but even if none of them did anything, the kind of oppression they brought was still unprecedented. The fact that things have developed to the present level has exceeded the initial expectations of anyone. I am no exception, but in any case, if you continue to develop like this in the future, it will surely bring an era of uncontrollable chaos This era cannot become more chaotic. The Cranes battleship gradually approached the coast, and she slowly said those words to Ross, with a slight regret in her eyes. No one could have imagined these consequences, turning Ross from a Pirate Hunter to a wicked criminal who is trying to subvert the government, but its no longer meaningful to think about the cause when things get to this point. Even if she knew that Ross had no choice, that Ross was angry, and that she would have probably done the same in his place, she still could not make any concessions. Great Age of Pirates, it has been sixteen years, and the future is on the verge of an irreversible wave of turmoil. One day, one day, the world will be overturned. How long can you stop it? Ross floated on the surface of the sea, looking calmly at Crane. The Crane looked down at the rough sea and said slowly, What you said may come to pass in the future, but just as you refuse to yield to the power, Marine and justice will not yield to the turbulent future. Well, we shall see. Rosss figure dropped as he charged into the sea surface. Tokikake looked at the scene and gently shook his head and said, Will you not come with us without a fight? So be it, we will not let you go. In the face of Kizaru Momousagi and him, surrounded by the power of the three, everyone knows that Ross has no chance to escape, including Ross himself, but even if faced with a desperate situation, Ross is as Crane said, will never bow down to power! Whiz! Just as Ross swooped into the sea, Kizaru came out and his figure flashed in front of Ross, kicking at him. Ross punched out and the power of distortion surged, triggering explosions that rang on the sea, splashing a huge wave. Cloud piercing! Momousagi gently grips the handle of her sword and used on Gepp (Moonwalk). She rushes toward the waves and the Named Swords in her hand smashes out at an incredible speed, cutting the waves into countless pieces that are still frozen. In one of the pieces, Ross was exposed. Kizaru pointed out, and a laser burst into the air and flew toward Ross. Ross grabbed the laser with his backhand and power of distortion erupted, causing the laser to fail to explode, he threw it back at Momousagi, who was flying over to him using Geppo and he continued charging into the sea. In any case, even if both Momousagi and Tokikake are incompetent, they can still chase him down into the sea, but as long as he can rush into the sea, he has the possibility to escape. But. Rosss goal is clear enough, and Kizaru and Momousagi are also very clear about this. Alas Tokikake stood on the deck sighing and he pulled out a gun and fired in the direction of Rosss dive. It was Kenbonshokus extreme prediction ability that every bullet was fired at Rosss weakest point, forcing Ross not to rush into the sea. Blocked by Tokikake, Momousagi and Kizaru continued to rush toward Ross. Kizaru is obviously the most powerful and Momousagis movements are a little slower. Her expression is calm, but her eyes are still a little bit complicated. As for Tokikake, he only blocks Ross when he breaks through Momousagi and Kizaru. Even so, Ross cant get out of the encirclement. The gap in combat power is too great. With his current strength, even in full swing, the results of one-to-one matches with Momousagi and Tokikake are unknown, let alone one-to-three, and Kizaru is fast enough to be abnormal. Even though Momousagi and Tokikake were not very militant, Kizarus face-to-face encounter with him still blocked all his escape possibilities. 4 Free Talent Points. How can I use them to seize the opportunity? Ross keeps going from left to right, and his thoughts are flashing, but no matter how he uses them, it seems to be a desperate situation. Even if his strength surges by one or two percent, as long as Momousagi is fully committed, she will be able to equalize the situation again, and even if his strength increases by two or three percent. Tokikake will try his best and still be able to suppress him. Give up, you cant escape. Momousagi slightly shook her head and said to Ross as she watched the scars and bloodstains gradually appear on his body, but he still showed no signs of giving up. Tokikake also stood in the air using Gepp (Moonwalk) and said: There is no hope for you at all. Anymore struggle will be meaningless, give up. If you can still run away from the three of us, you can even come and go from the Marine Headquarters as you wish. Kizaru formed a triangle with Tokikake and Momousagi, surrounded Ross in the middle. Chapter 205 Haoshoku Awakens Now. At the outskirts of Dressrosas ruins, many civilians also gathered. They could not help but clench their fists as they watched the battle not far from the shore and the siege laid by a Marine Admiral Kizaru and others on Ross. Three on one, its really despicable. This is the time to clean up the mess? We dont need the Marines! Marines pursuit of the Ghost Hand Pirates would have been normal if they hadnt gone through anything before, but now Ross has become the benefactor in the eyes of Dressrosas civilians and he had saved their island. And now not only a Marine Admiral but there are also two more people besieging Ross. For them, theres a lot of irony in their hearts. The highest battle power and they use it to suppress someone who saved us when they didnt. Many of their voices were muffled, but for Kizaru and others who are proficient in Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, they clearly heard their words and their faces were not looking very good. However. There are two Marine Admiral candidates and one current Admiral and they did not lose their emotional control, but Momousagi and Tokikake slowed down their attack on Ross and only stopped Ross when he was about to escape. Bang! Momousagis sword energy was smashed by Ross but it also prevented Ross from fleeing, and Kizaru turned into a golden streamer. Whiz! Ross holds the handle of Happy Spring in both hands and charges into Kizaru. At the moment, he has two sword marks on his body. Even with Armament Hakis defense, plus Rocks talent, his body is still bloody, which is the case when Momousagi is not fully committed in attacking him. In addition, Kizarus light-speed kick was applied to his shoulders, his clothes were broken and half of his shoulders were scorched black. But. Even though Rosss body is badly damaged, the light in his eyes never faded, and his mind never sank for a moment. Qing! Qing! Kizaru confronted Rosss fierce attack and continued to fight with Ama no Murakumo (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven). Rosss offensive was still very fast, and he had to block every move, otherwise, he would give Ross a chance to escape. In order not to give Ross any chance to escape, he would be beaten back by the full-blown Ross. Seeing that Ross did not choose to escape, but chose to compete with Kizaru, Momousagi and Tokikake stood in the air, and both of them slightly shook their heads and did not attack. If Ross chooses to run away, they will try their best to stop him, but if Ross doesnt escape, they wont join forces with Kizaru to besiege Ross. As Admirals alternates, they all have their own will and pride and they are not doing this simply because of the words of the civilians. Bang! Bang! Bang! Every blade that Ross splits and confronts with Kizarus Ama no Murakumo triggers a violent explosion, and in the aftermath of the explosion, he does not retreat at all. Under Rosss almost aggressive attack, Kizaru has been retreating to resist and he finally can not fully withstand it, his mouth is unconsciously overflowing with a trace of blood. Really Kizaru was not happy seeing that Momousagi and Tokikake didnt come to attack Ross and left it to him, but because of his position as an Admiral, its hard to call Momousagi and Tokikake to siege Ross with him. Whats more, with Rosss current state, he will barely have any stamina left and his injuries are quite serious, if he can not defeat Ross even now than there is no need for him to go back to the Marine Headquarters. Yata no Kagami(Eight Span Mirror)! Kizaru flickered in the golden light and arrived behind Ross at an incredible speed and kicked out with a violent kick. Ross slammed his elbow against Kizarus foot, but Kizaru was faster, with a flash of light on his foot, he offset a little bit and kicked Ross in the upper arm. Boom! Ross flew out and squatted on the shores of Dressrosa. Coming to the shore, with Momousagi and Tokikake not far away, Kizaru feared that Ross would try to run away and wrinkles appeared on his face, he charged toward Ross on the shore. Bang! Bang! Bang! Kizaru showed the fearsome strength of a Marine Admiral and suppressed Ross in the downwind with one mans strength. Of course, Ross has been injured and his stamina is almost spent from the continuous battle, but this battle also showed him the true strength of Kizaru as a Marine Admiral! Give up, even if you try everything, you still wont win. Kizaru slammed his feet and grabbed Rosss flaws. He kicked Ross back again and said with a tight voice. Give up? Ross rose slowly from the ruins, even though his mouth was bleeding, but his eyes remained unchanged. Even with the presence of the Marine Admiral Kizaru, even with his almost exhausted stamina, even with Momousagi and Tokikake standing behind Kizaru, even if this is a desperate situation He will never give up! Distortion, Cut! Ross held his sword in both hands and slashed hard at Kizaru. Kizaru saw that Rosss stamina was almost exhausted. He rushed over with a relaxed face and waved the Ama no Murakumo sword in front of him to parry the coming attack and sword in his hand and collided with the power of distortion. Zizi! The golden light would have normally disintegrated like debris, but currently, the Ama no Murakumo sword cut Rosss power of distortion bit by bit, pressing against him bit by bit. Tokikake put his gun back to his waist, and Momousagi put away her Named Sword. Its over. Some of the civilians of Dressrosa closed their eyes, some clenched their teeth and clenched their fists, but they couldnt do anything. .Even if they wanted to help Ross escape, they didnt have that ability. They could only watch as Kizarus sword began to oppress Rosss sword and reversing Ross by little. Desperate? Yes, desperate. Is this the end? No, it shouldnt end like this, it wont end like this! His stamina is almost exhausted and he has almost lost the battle as Kizarus Ama no Murakumo sword inches closer and closer to Rosss body, even in this desperate situation, he will not give up, his will must remain unshakable. Suddenly. A terrible power suddenly burst out of Rosss body. It was not the limit that broke through after exhausting physical strength. It was the power that was originally hidden in Rosss body. Under the pressure of this desperate situation, with his unwavering will, it was thoroughly inspired. At the moment when this power appeared, the heavens and the earth seemed to become quiet. The civilians of the Dressrosa in the distance, who were clenching their fists and teeth became fixed on a single spot for a moment and like dominoes, they began to fell one after another and only a few people were able to keep their consciousness. On the gradually landing Battleship, the Marine soldiers who were about to disembark were all fixed on the spot before beginning to fell down one by one. The faces of Momousagi and Tokikake changes seeing this scene. Haoshoku Haki! Kizaru bears the full brunt of this violent Haoshoku Haki, causing him to feel strong oppression on his body, he feels as if a large stone has been tied to his body and he can barely move. As a Marine Admiral, he has experienced the Haoshoko Haki of the Yonk (Four Emperors), among which Akagami (Red Hair) is the strongest, and todays Ross broke out with Haoshoku Haki, although it is slightly inferior to a Yonk (Four Emperors), but it is like a wild adult wolf that had been set free! However. Kizaru was not surprised that Ross had Haoshoku. Is it the first awakening? The power hidden in his body is terrible, but what if you awaken your Haoshoku? You cant use it consciously and you will still lose here He was not afraid, because Rosss stamina was almost exhausted, and even if he awoke this terrible power, he could not turn over any waves. CHAPTER 206 DETAINED Thats right. As Kizaru has judged, Rosss stamina was almost exhausted, even if he awakened Haoshoku Haki, he did not have any power left to continue the fight. But this Haoshoku Haki is not just imposing, it also represents Rosss will. Ross held the Happy Spring in both his hands and he erupted with Haoshoku Haki with the last of his stamina. There was no retreat in the eyes, just battle intent. Kizarutake this! Buzz!! The power of distortion emerged from Rosss body. This is Rosss overdraft stamina, this is the outbreak of Haoshokus oppression, this is Ross in despair, this is the strongest blow on display! You! Kizarus face changed dramatically. He didnt expect Ross to attack with such power in this situation. Because he was oppressed by Haoshoku Haki and is very close to Ross, he couldnt avoid it. Distortion Collapse! Bang! The power of distortion broke out like a tsunami. Its twisted into a smash, like a landslide, sweeping toward Kizaru. Kizarus Ama no Murakumo sword completely melted into light and Kizaru was also turned into a dots of light, flying backward, running through five or six buildings in a row and finally crashing into a special building made up of Seastone. Finally. The Ama no Murakumo Sword was completely turned into a light scatter. Kizaru was also turned into a group of light that was blown up by Rosss attack and flew out toward the rear. After running through five or six buildings, he slammed into a special building made up of Seastone. The light instantly collapsed and returned to Kizarus form. The impact could no longer be removed and his back was hit hard causing him to spit out blood. Pop! Kizaru fell to the ground and his clothes were broken including the Justice clock of Marines and the word Justice was destroyed. He coughed violently, and once again, a mouthful of blood spilled out of his mouth. He barely stood up and a distortion appeared on his wrinkled face. On the other side. After delivering the attack, Rosss stamina was completely spent as he used all of his powers in his last attack and the last remaining stamina was squeezed out. Ross, who was seriously injured, held the somewhat broken Happy Spring in his hands and slowly inserted it into the ground in front of him. He held his sword hilt in both hands. Stand still! Great Age of Pirates, 16th year in February. Seven Warlords of the Sea Doflamingo, as well as the Donquixote Family, suffered a full-scale invasion by the Ghost Hand Pirates and they were wiped out. The Dressrosa regime returned to King Rikus family. The Ghost Hand Pirates Captain, Ghost Hand Ross got surrounded by the Marine Headquarters Admiral Kizaru, and the Great Staff Officer Tsuru, the alternate Admiral Momousagi, the alternate Admiral Tokikake he was eventually defeated. The news spread and the world shook. For the captured pirate. Marine generally has two methods of disposal, one is execution and the other is imprisonment. Generally, for Devil Fruit Users, they are eternally imprisoned in Impel Down, such as Golden Lion, World Destroyer and so on. Their devil fruit powers are too uncontrollable. After killing them, the devil fruit will regenerate on the sea after some time. If they are obtained by other pirates, there will be another fierce wicked existence. On the other hand, for the fierce wicked pirate, Eternal imprisonment in Impel down is even more fearsome than the threat of death, Each layer of the prison is specially designed to look and feel like hell so that even if prisoners cant die, they can never get rid of the hell-like fear until their natural death. Naturally. If the person caught is the cadre of the subordinates of any Yonko pirate group or the cadre of the Whitebeard pirate group, they will most likely be directly executed, lest Yonk (Four Emperors) run to invade the Impel down. For the Captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates, Ghost Hand Ross, Marines and the government finally made a decision. To Impression him in Impel Down. Forever. Yonk (Four Emperors) territory. Red Hair Shanks drank the wine and took a copy of the latest newspaper that had just been sent. So, he was defeated. He was stunned as he looked at the newspaper. It was a completely unexpected result. For someone like Ross who was wild and dared to face the government and Marines. He was defeated by Marine. The newspaper article, without accident, pushed all the bad events of Dressrosa onto Doflamingo, pointing out that Ross was one of the culprits of Dressrosas destruction and was routed and arrested by Headquarters Admiral Kizaru who arrived in time. In Sabaody Archipelago, he ran away from Kizaru after killing a tenryubito ran and that same person got defeated and captured by Kizaru? The government is reporting some messy things. Beckman sat next to him, holding a newspaper and smoking a cigar. There are no mentions of the Crane, Momousagi, and others in the newspapers, but anyone can guess that Rosss captured wasnt as easy as it was reported in the newspaper. Akagami (Red Hair) was silent for a moment and threw away the newspaper. No matter how it happened, Ross was arrested and according to the newspaper, he will be detained in Impel Down for the rest of his life. That is to say, his premonition seems to be a failure. Whitebeard territory. Bullshit News. After reading the newspaper, Fourth Division Captain Thatch threw the newspaper aside. First Division Captain Marco looked at the newspaper for a long time. Rosss uproar over Dressrosa was still evident. They also saw the content of the broadcast at that time. Finally, they saw Kizaru arriving, but Rosss response was obviously calm. How did it suddenly got turned around, why did the news say that Ross got defeated and captured by Kizaru? Judging from Rosss tremendous momentum in the Dressrosa incident, both his strategy and strength are extraordinary. He should not be a person who is easily captured by Marine. Father, what do you think? Marco was silent for a moment and turned to look at Whitebeard. Whitebear took a huge glass and took a murmuring breath. What the government said was all bullshit, but it should be true that the kid was caught. He shook his head, Ross was defeated by the Marines. It was beyond his expectation. When Ross stepped into the New World with a bounty of a billion berries on his head. He thought that he could turn the sea upside down and even walk up to him. He didnt expect that everything would stop here. Being imprisoned in Impel Down, no matter how prestigious and honorable he was before, everything will become history and eventually, he will be forgotten and buried by time. As for the jailbreak or something. The only person in history who has escaped from Impel Down is the Golden Lion, who lost two legs in the process and has not been seen for more than a decade. Hundred Beast Kaido was slightly annoyed and shattered the newspaper. How did that kid got caught by Marine, such waste! He still wanted to see what kind of guy Ross was who dared to provoke him. Even if he didnt think that Ross would be his opponent, Ross was already captured before he can start looking for him. Its a pity that I couldnt take that guys head with my own hands, but even when I was locked in Impel Down, I couldnt get out. Lets just forget it. One of the Three Disasters sitting next to Kaido said. Kaido poured a mouthful of wine and said, Thats it. After being caught and pushed in Impel down, I am too lazy to go and look for him there. No one needs to mention that name anymore. CHAPTER 207 THIS IS FATE On some island. Two hours after the Dressrosa incident, CP0 Chief arrived and boarded the island to search for tenryubito Mjosgards location across the island. With the efficient action of CP0 and the collaboration of a large number of government elites, tenryubito Mjosgard was quickly found in a low house. Mjosgard was tied to a bomb. He was not dead yet, but he could not bear the psychological pressure and was in a coma. Get out of the way. CP0 Chief spoke quietly, letting the crowd get away, he took down the bomb at a very fast speed and threw it out. The bomb slammed outside and exploded. After saving Mjosgard, the government members behind him rushed quickly and put him on a stretcher. The accompanying medical team immediately set out to check the situation of Mjosgard. Seeing the result, everyones faces changed. They saw that Mjosgard was still alive, but there was a hole in his chest and his heart was missing. He was still breathing normally without his heart. It is the ability of Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit. CP0 Chiefs face became very depressed and the people around him were afraid to even breath out loud, they were played by Ross from the beginning to end. They have successfully saved Mjosgard, but his heart is missing from his body, what is the meaning of this rescue, the life of Mjosgard is still in the hands of Ghost Hand Pirates! Den Den Mushi. CP0 Chief took a deep breath and took the Den Den Mushi from his subordinates and dialed Five Elder Stars, he suppressed his anger and reported the matter. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) were also silent. It was unexpected that Ross had been caught by the Marines, but now there is such a problem. Mjosgards heart was not in the hands of Ghost Hand Ross. It seems that it must be with his crew. Did the Marines caught them?! I am terribly sorry, Lord Gorssei (Five Elder Stars), Marines said that they were still chasing them. Trash. The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) showed a little annoyance on his face. That group of people will definitely make a fuss about the heart, maybe we have to let go of Ghost Hand Ross. Absolutely Impossible! One of them said with a serious tone. Someone sighed: If they ask for that kind of request, maybe we can agree to it, and arrange a heavy force when releasing Ross, capturing them all. It wont be that easy. A Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), wearing a white robe, shook his head and said, What if Ross escaped even with all of our preparation? What would we do then? In general, the requirements of ransom can be promised but it is absolutely impossible to release Ghost Hand Ross. As long as Ross is not there, the Ghost Hand Pirates will amount to nothing. Sooner or later, they will be arrested one by one. The last Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) words were conclusive. Somewhere on the sea. A Pirate Ship is anchored at sea. On the deck of the ship, Laffitte and Law are surrounding a table with a beating heart. They didnt agree to let go of Captain directly. They have to get the heart first and trade at the same time. This is no doubt a trap. Laffitte said helplessly. Law calmly said: The structure of Impel Down. I have studied it according to intelligence. With a few of us alone, there is basically no possibility of intrusion Robin is silent. Recalling the memories of the moments when Ross has shown confident eyes in front of impossible odds, she could not believe that Ross was caught by Marine. When he was still weak, Aokiji struck and Ross escaped from him, but he fell in Dressrosa. Cant you come out? Is this really over? Marine Headquarters. In a closed room, Headquarters Vice-Admiral Doberman is holding a copy of intelligence, the latest intelligence about Ross. The report says that Marines had completed the delivery and transferred Ross to Impel Down Prison. Its over. Doberman put down the intelligence and lay down in the reclining chair. His gloomy-depressed face finally showed an expression that could not be described in words. Being detained in Impel Down Prison on the deepest level 6 Eternal Hell. Ross can now only wait for his death in silence and his name will be slowly swallowed by time, no one in the sea will remember Ross. Humm! After all, Doberman snorted, and a fulfilled smile slowly appeared on his face. The smile revealed a little slyness and a little happiness. He has never had such pleasure since the accident with Ross started. Although he can no longer fight, he is still a Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral, who approves documents every day and can play chess and chat at other times. And Ross. He wont be able to walk free anymore, He is imprisoned in Impel Down and the darkness will be his only companion. This is the end of the violation of justice, this is the end of him as a pirate, this is the end of his fight against Marine and the government! A white city. The Revolutionary Army Leader Dragon, wearing a green cloak, was sitting on a stool, holding a newspaper in his hands, looking at the contents of the newspaper with a depressed look on his face. During this period, the Revolutionary Army has developed rapidly, and the reason is that Ross had severely torn apart the dark side of the government and severely damaged the prestige of the government and Marine. But. Ross was arrested. Despite the battle of Dressrosa before the arrest, the prestige of the government in the world has been hit hard by an unprecedented degree, but this will be the last time that something like that would happen. He sent his intelligence personnel to inquire about the intelligence of Rosss escorting ship, trying to block halfway, but the intelligence content he heard was that Crane, Momousagi, and Tokikake were escorting Ross to Impel Down. Even if he sent all of his men, it is impossible to break through this level of defense and if he went out personally, the situation will be even worse, because the entire route of the Marine escort ship is very close to the Marine Headquarters. Pity Dragon finally put down the newspaper and sighed. But even if Rosss era is over and the Ghost Hand Pirates will soon become history, the aftermath of the Dressrosa incident is still slowly expanding and their Revolutionary Army can quickly develop the forces with this help. We can only do this. In the world, all the forces were still reeling from the aftereffects of the Dressrosa incident, for the defeat of Ghost Hand Ross, for him being captured by Marine, and for him being imprisoned. Ross was handed over by Marines, with Seastone shackles on both his hands and feet, he entered the Impel Down. Pushing forward into the prison, the interior is dark, full of frightening atmosphere, from the depths, he can occasionally hear a roar and a sad scream, which makes people shudder. But. Rosss eyes remained calm. Squeak The doors of Impel Down slowly closed and the last rays of light disappeared, the darkness eventually enveloped everything. CHAPTER 208 ETERNAL HELL After the events of Dressrosa, Ross was completely exhausted, he was shackled in Seastone chains and on the way to Impel Down, he was only given a little bit of freshwater to survive. Rosss wounds did not show their ability to recover when his stamina was severely spent and he could not recover, the wounds on his body has only been initially healed up to now. Ghost Hand Ross, a big pirate with a bounty of one billion As a pirate with a bounty of up to one billion berries, the queue for escorting Ross is also extremely luxurious, vice superintendent Hannibal, Deputy Warden Domino, and Jailer Sadi. Jailer Sadi looked at Ross, who was slowly moving forward in shackles, with an exciting look on her face and said, He looks like an ordinary person, but since hes a pirate with a bounty of billion berries, he should be able to withstand heavy interrogation. I cant wait any longer, hehe. She had no interest in the monsters imprisoned in level three or five, and ordinary people cant withstand her torture. Someone like Ross is the most perfect prisoner for someone like her. Im not going to give you such a dangerous person to torture as Administrator, Satie. Hannibal glanced at Satie, then put her hand on her mouth and said: Such ambitions arent good. As vice superintendent, I have to abide by the rules of Impel Down. Chee, boring. Satie grinned and was too lazy to pay attention to Hannibal. The crowd moved slowly, accompanied by the sound of shackles rubbing against the ground until they came to a huge boiler. The inside of the boiler was boiling water, called the warm water of hell. Prisoners strip naked here before entering the city, they are thrown into the boiling water to disinfect, then change into prison clothes, and are escorted to the designated detention area. Oh, oh, its time to undress. Domino stayed outside and did not follow, but Satie followed in excitedly, with a small wicked smile on her face, staring at Ross. Two Jailers came forward and tore Rosss clothes violently. Some of the newcomers Jailers were next to him, this is the first time that they had seen a pirate with a bounty of billion berries being pushed to advance in Impel Down. They looked at Ross whose clothes were being torn apart like any ordinary pirate and he was pushed into the boiling water. I have never seen a pirate with a bounty of billion berries, this doesnt look great. Never Seen? Recruits, this is Impel Down, no matter how strong you were before, as long as you committed a crime and were caught here, youre just a prisoner here. A Jailer Captain stood in front of the queue and said in an indifferent tone. The slightly tense atmosphere, with Jailer Captains words, instantly dispersed. Yes. Even if he was a strong person, hes just a prisoner now. Seeing the pirate with a bounty of a billion berries being treated like any ordinary person, without resistance, many Jailers are no longer nervous. Gulp Gulp! Soaking in boiling water for a moment, a chain was agitated by a wheel disc and pulled Ross out of the boiler, holding the shackles on his hand. Always silent, no words. Even though his body was washed by boiling water, Rosss face did not show any change. He seemed like a person who has lost his soul, with no pain, no sensation, at his disposal. Not a word. Satie looked at Ross who looked like an ordinary person, he doesnt seem particularly strong, but every muscle is ripped on his body. She showed a more excited expression but she cant do anything. A pirate with a bounty of billion berries is above her paygrade. After Ross changed into prison uniform, Chief Magellan appeared. I am Chief Magellan. According to the governments judgment, youre going to be escorted to the sixth floor of Impel Down, Eternal Infinite Hell, where you will be confined for the rest of your life. He looked at Ross without any pity in his eyes. In his view, this is the price pirates like Ross should pay for their actions. Ross did not respond. Seeing that Ross was like a piece of wood and had no response to everything, Magellan lost all of his original interest, shook his head and waved to his subordinates. Soon. Ross was escorted to the sixth floor of Impel Down under Megallanns personal escort. In the sixth floor of Impel Down, there are countless strong people who once galloped the ocean. Many pirates with a bounty of more than 100 million berries are not eligible to enter this floor. Most pirates here have a bounty of 230 million berries, or even more than 500 million berries. Hey, there comes a newcomer. Very respectable appearance, he is qualified to be detained on the sixth floor, he should be a great character. Many people in the darkness looked up at Ross, who had been escorted in, with all kinds of eyes, but most of them did not know Ross. Ross has only been famous in recent years, but in recent years, not many pirates have been detained on the sixth floor of Impel Down. Hey! Newcomer, how much is your bounty?! Someone was sitting in prison and shouted at Ross with a boring look. Ross did not respond. He kept his head down and walked silently until he came to an empty cage, where handcuffs and shackles were all fixed on the larger Seastone chain. And connect the entire cage to the Impel Down as a whole. Ohh? Separate cell? A prisoner on the sixth floor noticed something unusual and could not help showing a little difference. The prisoners advancing the sixth floor of Impel Downy are also divided into upper and lower levels. Generally, two or three hundred million berries pirates are not held in isolation, but are divided into groups of two or even three and are held in the same cage. There are not many people on the sixth floor who are eligible to be enjoy solitary confinement, and each of them is a great person who once shocked the world. If I remember correctly that guy seems to be Ghost Hand Ross, his bounty was 200 million Berries. Someone looked at Ross, vaguely thought of something and whispered. When the people next to him heard what he said, they immediately turned their heads and looked at him with a bland expression. Only 200 million? Separate prison? You made a mistake! When were you locked in, that news is too old. When I came in, he seemed to have a bounty of 440 million berries and he was the most popular Supernova. In the cage not far away, a pirate snorted. His hanging bounty is only 230 million berries. Although he is New Worlds pirate, he is far less famous than Ross when he was locked in. Naturally, Ross, a pirate who is famous all over the world before he even entered the New World made may pirates unhappy, he included. Now that Ross is captured, he is a little happy. The most dazzling Supernova, what about it, isnt he the same as us, to be caught by Marine? Detained in Impel Down. They are all prisoners. Even if its 440 million, its too much to be in solitary confinement. Has he done anything else? I dont know that. Many pirates of Infinite Hell were awakened and looked at Ross in his separate cage. Shut up! Magellan listened to their talk! And finally couldnt hold back. He shouted angrily at the crowd and said with a cold face: Dont talk in my ear, Ghost Hand Ross doesnt do anything worthwhile. But his bounty is one billion berries, more than the waste like yours! One billion! Hearing this reward, there was a silence in the infinite hell. Many people have been shocked, even those pirates with a reward of 670 million or even 780 million have revealed a little bit of disbelief. This motionless, wood-like newcomer, has a bounty of one billion? ! Interesting. In the deeper part of the darkness, there are voices that seem to have not been spoken for many years. Some beings open their eyes and take a slightly interesting look at this side. Can you tell me what this kid has done? Magellan. I dont have time to accompany you in your nonsense. Magellan responded coldly, closing Rosss door and leaving infinite Hell with his subordinates, leaving countless strange eyes on Rosss cage. CHAPTER 209 CONFLIC Wearing a prison uniform. Sitting alone in a separate cell. It wasnt until Magellan and others took the elevator to leave the sixth floor that Ross lifted his head a little. He calmly looked at the heavy Seastone shackles bounding his body. For him, being captured and imprisoned in Impel Down is within his calculations, this is his last insurance plug because he is very clear that if he ever lost to the Marines, he will not be directly executed, but will be imprisoned here. There is more than one way to get out of here. Whether it is six years later when Luffy will make a big rush throughout Impel Down, or by activating the Living system Unlock in the Talent System, or the Battle systems Life Return (Seimei Kikan), and the General Departments Water Element Affinity, all of them can help him get out of these Seastone shackles. But. This method can only be used once. Once he went out from here, he would expose his resistance to Seastone to the World. Marines and the government will deal with him in a different way later. He will be executed on the spot after they catch him again and he will not be detained in Impel Down again. In other words, if he chooses to go out from here and continue to be an enemy of the world, there can be no more mistakes, no way back, no failure. Lets do that first. Ross breathed, closed his eyes slowly, and did not immediately break the chain. Now his injuries have not fully recovered, his stamina is exhausted and his physical fitness is low, even if he immediately break free, there will be no recovery time and he can not fight against Magellan in his current situation. Next. He will wait patiently, waiting for his body to recover, waiting for the best chance. Hey! Newcomer, you are called Ghost Hand, how is it on the outside now, what big news has happened recently, can you tell me about it, there is nothing to do here and I am going to die of boredom here. In a prison, some of the prisoners returned to their normal habits after the shock of Rosss bounty subsided and one of them asked Ross some questions. Here is Eternal hell. This is no Crimson hell where bladed trees torment prisoners, no wild beast hell where various dangerous animals torture prisoners, no starvation hell where prisoners are tormented with hunger and heat, no Blazing Hells hot, no Freezing Hells ice-cold This is just endless loneliness. Even if you were strong in the sky and crossed the sea and saw countless amazing things, once you enter here, you can only stay alone in the cage, facing the passage of time until the end of your life. And so. As soon as newcomers come here, many of the pirates being held here will ask them what happened outside, listening to their story, and barely have fun for the boring days. Ross didnt talk, he still sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Someone saw Rosss appearance and could not help but frown. What is with this guy, is he a piece of wood, were we fooled by Marine? Who knows? Others also shook their heads. Throughout the history of the sixth layer of Impel Down, almost no one can be as calm as Ross when they were locked in. Screaming loudly, yelling to let them go out, yelling at the prison, saying that once they go out, they will destroy it, or they will speak well and will be embarrassed In short, there are no appearances like Ross, so numb and indifference. Rosss performance is not like someone who has just been locked in. It is like someone who has been locked up for more than ten or twenty years and has become numb to his situation for a long time. Hey, boy, I am talking to you, are you deaf?! When the pirate who spoke to Ross noticed that Ross completely ignored him, he couldnt help but yell at Ross and said: Just because your bounty is one billion, you wont talk to the likes of us with less bounty?! Buzz!! No one knows which pirate got annoyed and used Hooshoku Haki to oppress the cell where Ross is. Although many of them are pirate with a bounty of two or three hundred million berries, there are even pirates with a bounty of more than 500 million or even more than 600 million berries here. There are also a few people who have Haoshoku Haki! Hmm, let him get a taste of real power. When that Haoshoku burst out, there were people grinning in the darkness and another Haoshoku intertwined and came agitating towards Ross. Generally, those who are locked into the sixth floor, those newcomers who are particularly disobedient and likes to shout and make noise. Everyone gets annoyed but they still have a way to teach them a lesson. That is Haoshoku Haki! A persons Haoshoku Haki is of little use, but if multiple people intertwined their haki and erupt it at the same time, they can create a frightening momentum. Buzz!! Buzz!! Buzz!! It is like a stone that stirs up a thousand waves. To use Haoshoku Haki to teach the disobedient newcomers a lesson, this is almost the consensus of many pirates in eternal hell, or use it when they encounter some new people yelling all day, bothering and annoying them. At this moment. At least six or seven Haoshokus sprang up and rushed toward Rosss cage. Haoshoku intertwined and collided in Void like a black thunderbolt. This Haoshoku Haki, although some of the Haoshoku Haki channels were scattered and not perfectly controlled, others were well controlled and eventually all intertwined in Rosss cage. The heavy Haoshoku Haki seemed to had fill Rosss cage-like seawater for an instant. The repressed ones are completely incapable of breathing. The pulsating Haoshoku even makes the chains squeak and slams and it hits Ross body, trying to tear the prisoners clothes of Ross. In this heavy pressure, Ross opened his eyes. He glanced indifferently at the direction that Haoshoku Haki came from and from his body erupted Haoshoku Haki that is stronger than the six or seven coming towards him and it slammed out. Do not reach out for a yard after taking an inch. ! This time it was a real Haoshoku conflict. The Seastone chain on Ross squeaked, and the black lightning in the air was intertwined, swaying the terrifying aftermath and heading in all directions. Eternal hell is noisy again. This, what should we do? What can we do, let them go at each other, or would you rather go down there. Inside Warden room, Wardens, who are monitoring the Eternal Hell on the sixth floor, can not help but change their faces and swallow their saliva when they see this scene. Haoshoku clashes in the Eternal Hell can be seen as long as they stay long enough. Although these people are now shackled and imprisoned, the horrible Haoshoku alone shows how fierce the criminals were. Zizi! The Haoshoku conflict in Eternal Hell gradually subsided. Hey, is that Hooshoku Someone said that and slowly looked back at Rosss cage. Since Ross had Haoshoku, their little trick didnt mean much to Ross. If Ross does not have Haoshoku, they can barely control Haoshoku to press against Ross, but if Ross has Haoshoku, they will not be able to do this. It will form chaotic Haoshoku conflicts, intertwined, unable to concentrate, and no one will be able to do anything. Forget it. Lets wait for the next newcomer. No one knows who said it but many prisoners gradually recovered their gaze. Chapter 210 Shiliew of the Rain Eat and drink. The meals delivered in Eternal Hell are made of the Sea King-like meat captured by the blue-gorillas. They have very high calories and energy. Although the total amount is not much, it still makes Rosss body gradually improve and his body gradually heals. As time went by, his body recovered day by day. Occasionally, he looked at the prisoners in the prison around him and showed his hunger for the points. Half a month later. The sixth floor of Impel Down welcomes a newcomer from the New World with a bounty of 330 million Berries berries. After being imprisoned, it was not calm and it took some time and external help for him to calm down. This prisoner was not as difficult to communicate as Ross and soon chatted with people in the same cell. In the process of chatting, he also talked about Ross. Killing tenryubito! Killing Shichibukai Doflamingo! Broadcasting the dark side of the government in Dressrosa to the world! One after another thing has been said from his mouth, and the prisoners in Eternal Hell have also been amazed by the deeds of Ross. Its not easy and damn near impossible to kill a tenryubito and then escape Sabaody Archipelago, how did he do it?! Almost all of the pirates present had experienced Sabaody Archipelago and tenryubito, but most of them chose to be patient. Nobody wanted to play against Sabaody Archipelago and Marine Admiral. His journey was really dazzling. Someone listened to the story with a surge of emotions, he clenched his fist and said, I would have also killed a tenryubito if I was out, the waste was not good enough. One of the people next to him scoffed mercilessly and said, Cut the crap, depending on your skill, after killing a tenryubito, you would have been beaten to death by an Admiral. Pity. Someone looked at Rosss cage and shook his head.Its dazzling enough, but it also attracted too much hatred from the government and Marine too early. No wonder it wasnt a long journey. If he would have crossed through it, he may have been able to replace one of the Four Emperors. The people next to him heard it and they all sighed. That pirate spoke again: Thats not to say. If I hadnt been caught, I would probably have killed one of the Yonk (Four Emperors) by now. The people next to him laughed and mocked and said, Save it. Im afraid you wouldnt even be able to see Four Emperors in front of you. Its just out of a bit of boredom that they can have fun with each other. On the other side. In a separate cell, Ross sat quietly, his injuries had completely recovered, but since a small portion of food and freshwater was rarely supplied each time, his physical energy was not recovered. His whole body is sore and weak after wearing Seastone, Ross can still judge that his physical fitness should be restored to about 60% or 70%. At this level, the next recovery will slow down because of the supply of food and freshwater. Its only enough to sustain life. Hold on Ross is not in a hurry. Here he does not need to consider all kinds of dangerous things. This so-called prison is like a place where he can really rest. It is like going home here. The prisoners around are all talents. They can always be there to get some fun out of boredom. Once he acts, he will need to finish it all the way, so he must ensure that everything is perfect, he would rather wait for a while, wait for his body to become better. Ten days later. On the sixth floor of Impel Down,a special prisoner was sent here. Magellan, you bastard! Warden Shiliew of the Rain, wearing heavy Seastone shackles, was pushed by Magellan into a separate cell and copied onto the Seastone wall, which was integrated with the cage. His face was so depressed that he seemed to have been poisoned by Magellan and it had not yet been completely alleviated. This is Eternal hell, I just killed some trash, Are you going to lock me up here? Magellan! Shiliew of the Rain looked at Magellan with a depressed face. At the moment, his toxin had not completely disappeared, and the seastone shackles were so heavy that even those who were capable could not escape. Magellan pushed Shiliew of the Rain on the wall, exhaled a poisonous mist, and said indifferently, I am the Chief of Impel Down. The lives of all prisoners are decided by me, not by you who kills them for pleasure. You will stay here and reflect on it. Shiliew of the Rain stared at Magellan and finally vomited out two words, Very good. Remember, youre a capital offender now. Magellan stepped out of the cage of Shiliew of the Rain. Giving unlimited detention on the sixth level of Impel Down is actually one of the death penalties, because there is no big difference between unlimited detention and direct execution, and the former is even more torturous. Shiliew of the Rain stopped talking and looked coldly at Magellan closing the prison door, closing his eyes and sitting in the darkness. Now. Almost all the prisoners who were pushed in Impel Down prison looked at this side in amazement. Someone wants to say something, but because of Magellans suffocating poison suffocation, he swallowed it, and it was not until Magellan left the sixth floor that there was an uproar. Hey! Its Shiliew of the Rain! The Warden of Impel Down is now the same as us, prisoners of Eternal Hell? Hahahaha, interesting! A lot of people grinned and looked at Shiliew of the Rains cell with a mockery on their faces. This man was still outside looking at them like they were insect some days ago. For them, its interesting if a new person comes in. But now that new person is the Warden of Impel Down. Although its not clear what exactly happened, its only necessary to know that Shiliew of the Rain has become a prisoner like them. Sitting in the dark, Shiliew of the Rain looks cold and doesnt say anything. No one knows who was the first to erupt a Haoshoku Haki, and then, like the storm Rainstorm, seven or eight Haoshoku Haki emerged and stormed away towards Shiliew of the Rain. Shiliew of the Rain is a master of sword arts. He is also affected by his body condition as he still has toxin residues in his body, he has not recovered. Under the impact of the violent Haoshoku, there is still a vague pressure. The feeling of sinking into the sea. Depressed, depressed. Although these did not cause any substantial harm to him, but it made him extremely uncomfortable. He was angry when he suddenly turned from Warden into a prisoner. Now he is ridiculed and oppressed by the prisoners on the sixth floor. It is like suppressing a volcano. And at this time, a voice was sent from the prison opposite him. Noisy. The voice was very cold. At the moment of the launch, a strong Haoshoku Haki broke out, and the combination of the seven or eight Haoshoku was destroyed for a moment, and the air was humming. Shiliew of the Rain slightly glanced up and looked up at the opposite cell. Ross, who is tied to the heavy Seastone chain, is sitting there, and Haoshoku Haki gradually converges from his body. He looks at Shiliew of the Rain and said slowly: If you can go out, what do you want to do? CHAPTER 211 EXIT? Going out? Shiliew of the Rain hasnt thought about it yet, but Ross reminds him that he is aware of his situation and is likely to never get out. Since Magellan has imprisoned him in Eternal Hell, it was obviously not a joke. This time it was a real thing, I am afraid there will be no chance of being released. Shiliew of the Rain lowered his head and said nothing. At this time, the aftermath of the Haoshoku conflict also slowly dissipated. The people in the nearby prisons first wondered why Ross would actually favor Shiliew of the Rain and then they heard Rosss words. Go out? If I go out, I must destroy the Marine Headquarters! I want to kill Whitebeard! The prisoners around them began to bite their teeth and open their mouths, but soon some of them sat back down and said, Dont dream. Its impossible to get out of here. The only case of escaping from here is Golden Lion, who lost two legs more than a decade ago, and after Golden Lion escaped from prison, the defense here became tighter. Many people shook their heads and sighed. For a time, the atmosphere in the whole Eternal hell became depressed and no one came to laugh at Shiliew of the Rain and dreaming to escape from Ross. Ross did not care about the reactions of many prisoners. In fact. Most of the prisoners on the sixth floor were extremely fiercely wicked, slaughtering civilians and destroying Citytown on the island, killing a city full of people just because they could not find alcohol. In comparison, Shiliew of the Rain is also addicted to killing, but as he said, he is killing the garbage of the sea. As for the subsequent killing of Warden Jailer Anyone who was a Warden and was imprisoned in the Eternal Hell for several years, Im afraid he will have to carry a knife to kill after coming out. The anger and hatred in his heart cant be erased by three or two strokes. Its totally meaningless to say what you can do after getting out, it will never happen. Shiliew of the Rain was silent for a moment, then said slowly. He knows Ross, and although he has no friendship with Ross, Ross just helped him out of the siege and he got a head start and one day to recover. Rosss faint smile:What if I could really go out? Really go out Shiliew of the Rain fell into silence again. If he could go out, he would make Magellan look good. This ragged Warden job was too long for him. He will go to the sea to kill happily. Dont be crazy about it. Wait a few more years, you wont have this idea, newcomer. Some people in the nearby prisons heard Rosss words. Some people spoke with a hint of sarcasm. Even if Golden Lion escaped, he lost two legs. You are far worse than him. Every person who is imprisoned had the idea of breaking out of prison, but with the passage of events, it is a little bit of despair, a little bit of elimination of this idea. Because its impossible. Now even if Golden Lion is here, he cant reproduce the escape, because the guard is much tighter than before, and Magellan is a monster himself. Ignoring the words of many prisoners, seeing Shiliew of the Rain not talking, Ross can roughly guess the fluctuations in his heart, so he slowly said: If I can go out, I can let you go out, how about coming aboard my ship? Hey Shiliew of the Rain looked up and slightly grinned and heed. Although Ross was looking for little hope, his eyes sparkled. I know everything about you. It would be nice to go out and stir the world upside down with you. This time, the prisoners in the adjacent prison did not make any ironic sounds. They just glanced at them and then ignored them. They dont want to talk about it now. Ross slightly smiles and then he closed his eyes and stopped talking. Shiliew of the Rain slightly shook his head and thought of it as a meaningless agreement. He threw it directly behind his head, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing and rested. With the participation of Shiliew of the Rain, not only will it be easier for Ross to escape from prison, but after that, the Ghost-Hand Pirate regiment will also have a change in strength. Shiliew of the Rain and Magellan, known as Iron Wall of Impel Down, he is rumored to be equal to Magellan in strength, but to see him defeated by Magellan and locked up in Eternal hell, he should be a little inferior to Magellan, but not by much. In Rosss opinion. Magellans strength is basically the same as that of a Marine Admiral. Once he was destroyed by the Black beard pirates, most of his banned poisonous soldiers were the awakening of poisonous fruits. Shiliew of the Rain, as a strong sword arts expert, should be no less aggressive, His Haki speed and other aspects should be close to Admiral, the gap should be in the resistance aspect. Marine Admiral was very resistant. Akainu was attacked by Whitebeard in anger. He hammered his waist. Even then, he still jumped out and chase Luffy. He dealt with many Division Captains of Whitebeard pirates. Even after the event, he and Aokiji fought in Punk Hazard for ten days and ten nights. From those ten days and ten nights of the fight, It can also be seen that Aokiji and Akainus physique is not much different. If Shiliew of the Rain was attacked by Whitebeard, he would not be able to sustain serious injuries and will lose his battles ability even if he did not die on the spot. Naturally. Even if the strength of Shiliew of the Rain is second only to Admiral, the gap is not very big. But it is only him now. After going out from here, if he meets Kizaru again, he promises to pay a big payback to Kizaru. One day Two days Three days Time continues to flow through. As time goes by, even though the food and freshwater sent every time are only able to sustain their life, Ross gradually regains his full potential and strength with the talent Tenacious. The residual toxins in the body of Shiliew of the Rain have long since faded away. As a Warden, his food is better than Ross, and he is basically completely recovered. Almost. On that day Ross opened his eyes and his eyes glittered slightly. The world has forgotten him for some time, and its time Its time for the world to remember him again! He turned his head and looked at Shiliew of the Rain, who was sitting in the dark. Hey, are you ready to go out? Hm? Shiliew of the Rain slightly looked up at Ross and didnt understand the meaning of Rosss words. Listening to Ross. Is there a chance to go out now? ! But he and Ross were bound in heavy Seastone shackles, and even a non-devil fruit user could not get rid of them, let alone Ross. As for the keys, they were all in Megallans place, and no one else could touch them. After a while, Shiliew of the Rain asked with a stunned tone: You mean you can go out now? How to get out? Even though he talked with Ross frequently these days and knew that Ross was an extremely cool person, he was shocked to think that Ross was joking. Going out? How to get out? ! CHAPTER 212 TRUE HELL Its very simple. Rosss face showed a smile that Shiliew of the Rain couldnt understand. At this time, the prisoners in the nearby prison also heard the conversation between Ross and Shiliew of the Rain, blinking their eyes and showing surprise and strange expressions. What are they talking about? Going out? What is going out, is he wants to go out, is he crazy? Everyone is looking at Ross with inexplicable expressions. It is true that people driven mad by Eternal Hell are there. Is he gone mad? And just under these strange and inexplicable gazes, Rosss mind moved, and only the translucent Talent System he could see appeared in front of him in an instant. There are three options. First, activate Life Return (Seimei Kikan), he can control his hair to try to unlock Seastones shackles, or shrink his body out of the shackles, but the chances of failure are high. Second, activating Water Element Affinity takes two points of Free Talent Points, but hes not sure how hard the heavy Seastone shackles are and whether he can break them down. He also has to break the shackles of Shiliew of the Rain and theres the possibility of him collapsing. Then. The best solution is the third, Living talent unlocked. These are the questions that Ross has thought about countless times these days. He has no hesitation and spent 1 Free Talent point, which activated the second talent of Living in addition to navigation. Buzz!! In almost an instant, knowledge of all kinds of locks was instilled into Rosss mind. In a few seconds, he seemed to have opened countless locks all over the world. The Seastone chain that binds his hands and legs and the body is also full of flaws in the eyes of Ross at this moment. Kch! Under the restraint of the chain, Ross raised his hand slightly, put his finger in his mouth bit by bit and gently bite the front of the little finger with his teeth. He let his nails grow long for this. With his present physique, the Tenacious degree of his nails is no different from that of ordinary steel. This nail is very long, he tore it down with all his strength, totally ignoring the pain. After the nail was torn off, the wound healed rapidly in the resilience of Tenacious. Ross pinched the long nail and plunged it into the lock of Seastones shackles. After exploring the internal structure, he pulled it around. Kch. The lock is open. Under the gaze of Shiliew of the Rain, Ross pulled the chain around him and opened the three locks of the handcuffs, ankles and the chains around the body with his nails. He took off all of them and stood up straight and stretched hard. Crack! The bones, which had not been moving for a long time, made a noise at this moment. They were clear here, and there was silence in the Eternal hell. Ross stretched his body and came to the door, as the inserted nails turned. Dang Dang. The door opened. Ross came out. This is really Shiliew of the Rain breathed and watched Ross come out of the cage to the door of his cage, revealing an expression that seemed to have never woke up in his dreams. As for the other prisoners in the cage, they were all stunned and unresponsive. Warden indoor. Seeing Ross come out of the cell like this, many Wardens were shocked. They looked at each other, and cold sweat on their foreheads began to flow. Its a big deal! Quick Report this to the Administrator! Eternal hell. In Shiliew of the Rains cell, the Seastones handcuffs and shackles fell to the ground with a bang. He rubbed the tightened wrist and looked up at Ross. You can really get out. With a slight grin on his mouth, he glanced at the Den Den Mushi, which was watching them. There is a monitor of Den Den Mushi, we are already exposed. What are you going to do next? Are you afraid of Magellan? Ross stepped out of the cell and looked calmly at Den Den Mushi. Shiliew of the Rain snorted: Its not your style to ask this question, but I need to get my sword back first. It should be in Magellans storage room. Listening to Shiliew of the Rain mentioning the sword, Ross blinked lightly and said: My sword was destroyed before. Is there a good sword here? Oh, there is one, but I dont know if you can control it. Shiliew of the Rain thought for a moment and said: There is a demon blade the back of the storage room. Its useless if you dont use it properly, but that blade is one of the most powerful ones. When Ross heard that it was one of the supreme sharp blades, his eyes flashed slightly and he said, Is it a demon blade? Im not a swordsman. It doesnt matter if it goes well or not. It can be used. Thats good. Shiliew of the Rain walks up to the stairs to the upper floor, looks at Ross standing still and asks, Youre not coming with me? Ross said with a faint smile and a cool look, I intend to make the world a bit more lively. Hey Shiliew of the Rain looked at Ross and glanced at the cells around him. He guessed Rosss idea and gave him a smirk. Anyway, he is not the warden anymore so he wouldnt care if Ross releases the prisoners or anything. Ross stopped talking, just stood there and watched Shiliew of the Rain leave. At this time. Many prisoners in the Eternal Hell have already responded, all showing unprecedented excitement, Ross can actually open the shackles of Seastone, they can actually come out! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape from here! Ghost hand, let me out, I am willing to serve under you! I want to go out too! Magellan is very terrifying, I can help you deal with him! If we all join hands, this world will be ours! Many prisoners, who could stand up, almost all stood up. Their faces were full of excitement. Especially the prisoners in several cages beside Ross, their whole bodies were attached to the door of the prison. Ross slowly removed his gaze and looked at the prisoners around him. Unfortunately. To deal with a Magellan, I dont need your help, but you do have a role, and now its time to contribute to your role. There was an unusually vicious smile on his face in the darkness. After a few minutes. Chief Magellan seemed to have a rolling venom running all over his body. He stepped out of the downward elevator and came to the sixth floor of Eternal Hell with a gloomy and depressed expression. However, the scene of Eternal hell made him stunned. This is a living hell! It seems to be a real hell! Within that cage, blood and broken bones splashed everywhere, and there was blood flowing on the ground as if it had turned into a river of blood. He doesnt know how many people died here! CHAPTER 213 SPACE DISTORTION Damn it! Magellan thought Ross would liberate more prisoners. After seeing this, his face changed slightly and his pupils shrank sharply. Many of the prisoners imprisoned in Eternal Hell are Devil Fruit users with special troublesome abilities. Once killed, these Devil Fruits will be reborn on the sea. In a way, this is no better than releasing prisoners! Ghost hand Ross! Stop this madness! He angrily released his Observation Haki and located Ross in the depths of Eternal Hell and rushed toward him. If Ross releases a large number of prisoners, he is confident that with the power of his poisonous fruit, he can hold the door of the sixth floor and block everyone here, but Ross did not release prisoners, instead, he started killing them here, which is totally unexpected! So you finally came. Ross slowly said as another prisoner in the cage collapsed under the power of distortion. He slowly turned his head and looked at Magellan, who was rushing towards him. His eyes were calm and indifferent. He could not even remember who he had killed. This is the sixth layer of Impel Down, Eternal Hell, where some of the worst prisoners are held, although there is no one at the level of Yonk (Four Emperors) here, but pirates with a bounty of 230 million, or even 560 million, can be found everywhere. He had killed a pirate with a bounty of more than 800 million berries, as for the pirates with the bounty of 200 million, 300 million, or even 400 million berries, he will not receive any rewards for killing them at all. Even if he hunted pirates in the same bounty area for four consecutive times, the profits would diminish and he would no longer receive any rewards. After this massacre, his reward was also terrifying. 265 Talent Proficiency Points! 3 Free Talent Points! Even though the activation of the Living systems unlocked talent cost 1 point, he still accumulates 6 Free Talent Points, which satisfies the conditions for activating the Distortion space. Poison Dragon! Magellans eyes seemed to be bursting with anger. He didnt even talk to Ross. He rushed towards Ross and with a wave of his hand the purple poison liquefied into a purple Dragon and poured towards Ross. Prisoners in Eternal hell were killed like this, this responsibility must be borne by him alone, even if he captures Ross again, he will be demoted! Wall of Distortion. Ross raised his hand and pressed it forward. The power of distortion interwoven into a barrier to block the poisonous Dragon. The Poison Dragon rushed into the wall of Distortion, instantly bursting into poison. Magellan did not stop. He continues to charge towards Ross. As soon as he opened his mouth, a cloud of poisonous clouds swung away in an instant, pouring in from all sides and surrounded Ross in the center. Buzz!! Rosss hands jerked forward and the power of distortion swayed, and the poison cloud rushed away. He rushed toward Magellan and slammed it out. Magellan crossed his arms in front of him. Buzz!! Ross shook his hands violently and the power of distortion swung open and the poisonous cloud was dispersed. He rushed towards Magellan again and punched him in the distance. Ross didnt intend to taste Magellans poison. His eyes glistened and he jumped up just right to avoid the collapsing poison attack. Damn it! Dont irritate Magellan here. Ghost Hand Bastard! Some of the survivors of Eternal Hell, who were not attacked by Ross and who were physically strong enough to resist Rosss attack, were now affected by Magellans poison. They could not help but roar. Crash! Magellans venom surged from all directions, leaving almost no escape routes. Ross used the wall of Distortion and blocked the venom from the attack, while Magellan slammed forward with a wave of his hand and a huge squid shaped venom smashed down. The giant poison soldier barely broke through the outer wall of Distortion and spilled a little poison and burst towards Rosss face. Ross put his head on one side and the poison flew past him. System, activate Distortion Space. Faced with Magellans furious attack, Ross had no time to deal with proficiency in detail and could only activate the branch of Distortion Space as quickly as possible. Buzz!! In the Talent Tree, the moment when the branch of the Distortion space is activated, a strange feeling is born from Rosss body. The world in front of him seems to have changed and the structure of the space and its veins can be clearly seen. And his power of distortion, as if it can touch the essence of space, let it bend and fold. Poisonous flow! Magellan noticed that Ross seemed to lose his mind for a moment. Without hesitation, he seized the opportunity and with a loud roar, the turbulent venom gushed out of him like a river, rushing towards Ross and sweeping Ross in it. Faced with the torrential poisonous current, Ross recovered from his temporary loss of consciousness. His eyes shone with strange light and he waved his hand to the poisonous stream and gently pressed against it. Buzz!! A strange scene appeared. Suddenly, the turbulent flow of poison changed from three-dimensional to a single-dimensional and the whole area curled up as if the space of this area had been compressed into a sheet of paper. Hmm?! Magellan was shocked but immediately took a deep breath. He suddenly flashed aside, opened his mouth and threw out countless poison balls, which hit Rosss body. Ross is experiencing the amazing feeling of folding Space Distortion. Faced with Magellans blow, he reaches out a finger and pokes it right in front of Void, as if it were inserted into something sticky, stimulating the power of distortions to spin and agitate. Oh! The space is agitated by Ross, forming a head-sized whirlpool, which engulfs all the poisonous balls that come in. Ross cant break up the space of the world, but the space of the world in front of his power of distortion seems to become something like a sticky paste and elastic rubber, which can be stirred up as long as enough strength is exerted. Boom! The Distortions vortex reached a limit, terminating the rotation, resembling a spring that was forced to its limit, then the Distortion was reversed and recovered at a faster speed, and is squeezed into a dark terrifying mass, smashing Magellan head-on. Magellans face changed slightly as he noticed that the dark substance was his poison, but its concentration had been compressed to an astonishing degree, even he dared not touch it. Weird power. Avoiding the substance, Magellan looked calmly at Ross, who was about to start again. Whiz! As Ross stepped forward, a strange force swung open. The space between the two suddenly collapsed and he was forcibly pulled closer. Ross clearly took only one step, but in a strange way, he appeared on his right side and punched him. How could it be Magellans pupils shrank, and what his Observation Haki perceives is so weird that its hard to describe in words. Rosss movement cant be described in simple actions but in another weird way. Faced with Rosss unexpected approach and attack, he had no time to perform other tricks, he could only use Armament Haki and his poisonous fruit to protect his body and wave his arms. Boom! Ross dropped a punch, the venom splashed everywhere and Magellan flew out. CHAPTER 214 STRENGTH RISING Using the ability of the Distortion space to take Magellan out of the way, Ross finally had the time to call out the Talent System Interface and digest the rewards he just got. 265 Talent Proficiency Points. For Ross, this will lead to a great promotion. Without any hesitation, he took the lead in putting 25 points of proficiency on Kenbunshoku and 100 points of proficiency on Armament Haki. With these two increases, his Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Armament Haki both reached 150 points, 50 points short of Maximum Value, and it had completely reached the level of a Marine Admiral Aokiji. After filling up all the shortcomings with Marine Admiral, 140 proficiency points remained, Ross decisively assigned them to Tenacious talent and the power of distortion. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 680 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) by Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki: 150 Armament Haki: 150 Haoshoku Haki: 0 The power of distortion has been continuously filled with 80 proficiency points, reaching 680 points, which has brought about an increase in Rosss attack power. As for the specific effect, it should be exerted in detail in Battle. The remaining 60 points of proficiency, in order to balance the problems caused by the surge in power of distortion, was completely filled by Ross into the Tenacious talent. Agility Enhancement: 300 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value) Spirit Heart: 0(Basic Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 160 (High-Level Strengthening) Rock: 50 (Mid Level Strengthening) Tenacious is only 40 points short of Maximum Value in proficiency, and for Ross, follow-up improvements are basically unimpeded. After consuming 265 Talent Proficiency Points, Rosss strength has already changed dramatically. Before, in a one-on-one confrontation with a Marine Admiral, the odds of him winning were only one or two percent. Now, even if he cant crush them, his odds of winning are at least 70% or above! In the face of a Marine Admiral, his odds of winning are more than 70%, which is already a very high level! The next step, its time for the world to really turn upside down. Ross took a deep breath and sensed that the staggering heat in his body was gradually dissipating. He shook his fist and looked at the rushing venom, and his eyes flashed smoothly. Now that his strength has been enhanced, he can test it here on a suitable sandbag in front of him! Whiz! He rushed up and fought with Magellan. Impel Down Prison, Storage room. This is where the prisoners weapons and special items, such as antidotes for Magellans various poisonous gases and poisons, are placed. Shiliew of the Rain killed the gatekeeper Warden and kicked the main entrance and went to the storage room. He almost didnt have to look for it. Instinctively, he walked in one direction and saw a sword that had been placed on a shelf and had been stained with some dust. The second generation of the 21 O Wazamono grade sword. They dont even know how to give it good maintenance? He took off the second generation O Wazamono grade sword. He pulled out a handkerchief from the cabinet, wiped the dust off the handle and sheath of the sword, and pulled out the blade in half. After nodding in satisfaction, he hung it at his waist. After retrieving his sword, he turned his head and glanced at the storage room. He skillfully opened a cupboard, took out a cigar and a box of matches, lit a cigar and took a puff. Hoo! After spitting out a puff of smoke, he went deep into the storage room. After crossing several cabinets, a closed-door appeared in front of him. Shiliew of the Rain came to the door, pushed it open and entered. The room was very small and empty. The only thing that was left was a devilish sword in the middle of the room. 12 Saijo O Wazamono grade sword. Cursed Blade Murasame. Because of the evil spirits contained in it are too strong, it is easy for ordinary people to be affected by it and even their temperament changed and they get more and more crazy, losing any and all reasoning. Therefore, this sword is not with the government and Marine but sealed in the Impel Down prison. A Warden once opened the room because of his curiosity, but he was affected by the aura of the Cursed Blade Murasame. When he came out with it, he cut himself down. After that, the room was strictly forbidden to approach. I dont know if that guy can use it. Looking at the sword that was inserted on the ground without a scabbard, Shiliew of the Rain puffed out a puff of smoke. He was not afraid of the evil and cursing breath carried by the Cursed Blade Murasame, but this sword was not compatible with him. He was not used to it and it will affect his sword arts, so it was useless. Hey, its already fighting. After pulling out the Cursed Blade Murasame, Shiliew of the Rain sensed the fierce battle that is going on the sixth floor of Impel Down, he stopped staying and walked out of the storage room and headed straight for the Eternal Hell. Deputy Director Hannibal did not dare to stop Shiliew of the Rain. As for the other Warden, they all shivered in front of Shiliew of the Rain, and they do not have any will to stop him. Marine Headquarters. Doberman is sitting in the office, listening to reports from his subordinates about the Ghost Hand pirates. They escaped again? He frowned slightly and said, Without Ghost Hand Ross, the rest of the miscellaneous fish shouldnt be so difficult to deal with. What is Vice-AdmiralErman doing? After Ross was detained in Impel Down, Marines and the government have been chasing after the remaining Ghost Hand Pirates, but because Laffitte had Mjosgards heart in his hand, the government and Marine were afraid to go too hard to deal with it. A Headquarters Rear Admiral standing next to him said: The governments request is to recapture the heart of Mjosgard, and then start with them. This is too difficult. Doberman meditated for a while, putting down the papers in his hand and saying, They cant take advantage of Mjosgards heart every time, tell the vice-admiral that if he sees a chance, he must wipe them out. Without Ghost Hand Ross, they are nothing. Next to him, the Rear Admiral nodded and said: Its impossible for the government to release Ghost Hand Ross. Its impossible for them to sneak into Impel Down. Sooner or later, the Ghost Hand Pirate regiment will be completely eradicated. Doberman smiled slightly at that. And just as he was about to say something, a Captain suddenly burst in from outside, saluted him, and said in a tense and hurried tone, Vice-Admiral! Emergency meeting! Hmm? Doberman stood up, his face unchanged as he went through an emergency meeting once or twice every week. He walked outside the door and asked the Captain casually, What happened? An accident in Impel Down! The Captain, with a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, was walking along with him and said: I heard that Warden Chief Shiliew of the Rain betrayed the Marines and tried to escape from prison with Ghost Hand Ross. The situation is critical. Dobermans footsteps instantly stopped. CHAPTER 215 CURSED BLADE MURASAME Marine Headquarters, emergency meeting room. Damn it, Shiliew, that guy Sengoku stood there with one hand on the table and the other on his forehead, showing a very painful and angry expression. The consequences of the betrayal of Shiliew of the Rain were extremely serious. He is someone originally standing on the side of the government and he suddenly stood on the opposite side of the government. And most importantly, if only Ross alone tried to escape from Impel down then Magellan and Shiliew would have been enough to suppress him, but now there is another one who is trying to escape and that someone is Shiliew of the Rain with the same strength as Magellan. The problem is big! Magellan alone cant resist it! In the unlikely event that Ross releases a few sixth-level eternal hell prisoners, the great confusion and chaos that they will cause is definitely not something that can be suppressed by Magellan alone, and it is likely that they will overturn the entire prison. Aokiji hasnt returned yet?! Sengoku looked to the side, towards a Rear Admiral and asked, The Rear Admiral shook his head with cold sweat on his forehead. In the emergency meeting room, the Vice-Admirals had already come up with dozens of plans in a matter of minutes and Battleships are already ready to head towards Impel Down. Id better go first, Mr. Sengoku. Kizaru took a cup of tea and stood up after a few seconds of silence. In any case, Ross can never escape from Impel Down. Although there are other pirates in the Eternal Hell, most of them have been weakened by time. Only Ross is still the youngest and with most of his strength and no one knows how far he can go. Ok. Sengoku nodded in silence. Nowadays, it is not the time of war. They dont need to face the pressure from Yonk (Four Emperors). For the turmoil in Impel Down, it is natural to send a powerful force to subdue the situation and not give the other party any chance. Notify Aokiji, tell him to go to Impel Down as soon as possible and not come to the Headquarters. As Kizaru walked out of the meeting room, Sengoku spoke again to the men beside him, then slowly sat down in his seat and breathed. I hope that there will be no big problems. Impel Down. Eternal Hell. Ross and Magellan are fighting each other, after his strength has skyrocketed, Magellan has been completely suppressed by Ross alone in the Eternal Hell, even with Megallan using the poisonous giant, he is still being suppressed by Ross and he can barely support himself. At this time, Ross could leave at any time if he wanted to, but his purpose was not limited to that. He was also looking for an opportunity to continue killing the pirates when he fought with Magellan. Hateful Watching many prisoners die at Rosss hands, Magellan roared and manipulated the poisonous giant to rush up, trying to stop Ross, but because the poisonous giant would destroy the Eternal Hell, his movements were somewhat shrunk, which made it more difficult to block Ross. Crash-Bang! Rosss wrist flipped, and the poison was directly deflected, not by Distortion, but by the power of distortion bending the space in front of him! Magellans poisonous giant is something that he developed after the awakening of his poisonous devil fruit. It can erode all the surrounding materials and make all the stone and steel become highly toxic. It also has the characteristics of infiltration and erosion that will work on other devil fruit users. But. This kind of erosion is limited to the substance and it can not erode distortion caused by space! Rosss figure flashed as if he had pulled through space. He came to Magellans side and punched Magellan. The Power of distortion erupted violently. Boom! Under the power of distortion, the poisonous giant bursts out with countless poisonous liquid in an instant and scatters in all directions, as if it had turned into a whirlpool. Magellan, who is hiding in the poisonous giant, tried his best to resist the attack but still could not completely block it. He was still hit by the power of distortion. The poison splashed and flew backward. Troublesome ability. Ross could not help shaking his wrist as Magellans poison seeped through many cages and poisoned many prisoners half to death. He had just grasped the ability of the Distortion space, he is not used to this ability and he is still a little afraid of Magellans poison and does not want to be touched by it. At this time. Shiliew of the Rain returned to the Eternal Hell and stared at the scene in front of him. Venom Demon: Jigoku no Shinpan(Poisonous Giant Soldier: Hells Judgment)! No prisoners were released, but Ross seemed to have been slaughtered a large group of them. More importantly, Magellan actually used the poisonous giant in Eternal Hell! It is almost impossible that Magellan will release this ability in Eternal Hell because once released, it can easily erode the surroundings and poison a large number of prisoners, which is difficult to control. But. Magellan had already used this taboo ability. Theres no doubt that Ross brought him extreme oppression, even a threat to his life before he was forced to use it! He is too strong Shiliew of the Rain looked at Ross, who was suspended in midair, and his eyes flashed slightly. Although he originally planned to team up with Ross, he still had a plan to compete for Captaincy. This is a world where strong ruled, the Captain will obviously be the one who is strongest. It seems that Rosss strength is much stronger than he imagined. At least he himself is unable to pressure Magellan in the Eternal Hell to the point where he is forced to display poisonous giant. Have you brought it? Rosss voice passed over to Shiliew of the Rain. Shiliew of the Rain converges and throws the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand at Ross. He said, This is no scabbard, you can use it directly. Crack! Ross raised his hand and caught the Cursed Blade Murasame. Almost as soon as he held the hilt, a vaguely mad will burst out from the sword edge, rushing toward his body, resembling an imposing momentum. Killing, tyranny, madness, despair, death The chaotic atmosphere interweaves and tries to invade Rosss mind. Buzz!! Ross didnt even think about it. His Haoshoku Haki fired up and wrapped itself all over the sword edge of Cursed Blade Murasame, like a grinding wheel. Cursed Blade Murasame emitted a chaotic breath for a while. Although it is a demon blade, it is only a weapon. It is impossible for it to confront an existence like Ross who has an extremely strong will. The breath quickly regains the edge of the knife. But. Its sword edge is still full of chaos and arrogance and there is a faint feeling of it wanting to break free from Rosss hand and it is not easy to it in the palm of his hand. Its really hard to use, no wonder you didnt use it. Rosss eyebrows wrinkled slightly as he said calmly. A top swordsman like Shiliew of the Rain has not been able to make the demon blade obedient, it seems that in order to make it obedient, its necessary to use his power of Distortion along with his strong will. Cursed Blade Murasame Bastard! Shiliew, do you even know what you are doing?! Magellan emerged again from the venom and saw the sword in Rosss hand. He stares at it and then looked at Shiliew of the Rain. Shiliew of the Rain took a cigar and took a puff. The smoke-filled his mouth. Thanks to you, Ive stayed long enough in prison. Now, as you can see, Im working with him, and then Do give me more advice on how to get out. CHAPTER 216 ROUTING The sword of Distortion. Ross holds the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand and ignores its failure. For him, the sword is just a tool to condense the power of distortion, not use sword arts to launch attacks. Sneer! With a swing of his sword, he seemed to cut a gap in space, and the power of distortion flew abruptly in Magellans direction. Magellan and Ross have been fighting each other for some time now and Magellan had already had a certain understanding of Rosss ability. At this moment, without taking this attack head-on, he decisively turned around and avoided it and once again condensed the poisonous giant, while manipulating the two poisonous streams, one left and one right to the Ross. Whiz! Shiliew of the Rain decisively stepped back. He knew the power of the poisonous giant and he did not intend to touch the venoms at all. Well, do you want to release some of the prisoners here? After withdrawing a distance, Shiliew of the Rain pulled out a half-sword and asked Ross. Ross asked: With you and me, cant we leave this hell without outsiders help? Shiliew of the Rain grinned, swung a sword and killed a prisoner who was swearing loudly in the cell. With him and Ross, they could naturally go out even if there was another Admiral in their path. Venom Road(Poisonous Path)! Magellan tried to control the venom to not spreading too much and he slipped silently into the venom from the poisonous giant. As the venom slipped, he came directly in front of Ross and punched at him. The poisonous giant grabbed Ross, and he put his hand on Rosss back. You can move quickly with poison Ross had already seen Magellans speedy movement in the poison. His eyes remained unchanged. His left hand suddenly made a motion to grab the air in front of him. It is clearly caught in the air, but it seems to have grasped something substantial and slammed it. A weird scene appeared. Magellans poisonous palm clearly attacked Ross from behind and formed a pincer attack with the poisonous giant, but strangely the back attack hit the poisonous giant instead of Ross. Looking in the other direction, Rosss position hasnt changed, it was as if space overlaps here. Void Puncture! Rosss eyes flashed with light as he pulled the space to let Magellans attack fall on the giant, while Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand suddenly stabbed Magellan. Magellan did not hesitate to dodge backward. But. At the moment when he stepped back, space showed a strange change again. The sword that was clearly going to fall was suddenly elongated from his perspective, ignoring the distance, and continued to stab him. Hmm?! Magellans pupil shrank sharply, an attack with a distance that he should have been able to avoid, but his Kenbonshokus perception was telling him that the sword appeared on his chest in some strange way through a distance that it should not be able to reach. In dismay, Magellan couldnt avoid it, only waving his arms. Sii! Rosss Sword Pierced Magellans arm, penetrating his opponents Armament Haki and piercing Magellans arm. What is that ability? Not far away, Shiliew of the Rain watched this scene, and his pupils shrank slightly. In his view, Rosss sword was suddenly stretched, reaching a distance of thirty to forty meters, and piercing Magellans body. But with his Kenbonshokus perception, Rosss sword was still the original length, not stretched, but it was strangely close to Magellan even with that large distance. Its like the distance between Ross and Magellan, which should have been at least thirty or forty meters was forcibly contracted by some kind of power and became less than one or two meters. Damn it! Magellans arm was injured by Rosss sword and he retraced backward in the venom, and the venom spread along the sword edge to Ross. Ross waved his backhand and the space of distortion was restored. The sword that looked like a strangely elongated sword also recovered to its original size. Looking at the poison on the sword edge and the wound on Magellans arm, Rosss eyes flashed slightly. Its still not skilled enough. Zizi! The venom tried to erode the Cursed Blade Murasame, but the Cursed Blade Murasame was a Supreme Grade sword. Even with Magellans poisoning awaken ability, it cant be easily destroyed, otherwise, it would not be a Supreme Grade Level sword. Rosss power of distortion poured into the Cursed Blade Murasame and the venom that made the noise peeled off the blade and dripped onto the ground, dyeing the ground with a sultry color. Ghost hand, we should go. Shiliew of the Rain watched this scene, gradually regaining his dignity and murmuring to Ross, Magellans poison fog has eroded this Eternal Hell, we could be poisoned if we stay here any longer At this time. Eternal Hell is already full of poisonous fog, Ross has been holding up the wall of Distortion to repel the poisonous fog, plus his body can resist a little poison, so it is not a big problem for him. However, as the ability of the poisonous awakening fruit gradually penetrates into the poisonous mist as the Battle progresses, the horrible toxicity contained in it will be able to seriously damage even Ross, so he does not want to touch any of that. In this confined room, Magellans poisonous fruit is extremely terrifying, which is one of the reasons why he can compete with Ross until now. He always has to keep a little strength to deal with the poisons coming from the cracks. Wait a minute, I need to try two more tricks. Ross floated in the air and a sword breaks through the thick poison fog and rushes towards Magellans body. The Power of distortion is fully aroused and the sword is aiming to kill. This time, instead of using the Distortion Space, he actually boosted the power of distortion from the front, making everything in front of him show the shape of Distortion. Crash-bang! Magellan manipulated the poisonous giant and it waved its huge fists that collided with Ross. The poisonous giants collapsed from the top under the power of distortion. Magellan was once again flown out. Ross stepped out, followed Magellan, and punched with his left hand. With this punch, he gave up the defense of the Distortion Wall. It was an all-out blow after breaking through Magellans poisonous giant. Boom! Magellan used his arms to block the coming punch, but the power of distortion still hit him hard. The venom was splashed and his armored Armament Haki was also smashed. A mouthful of blood flew out and he fell deeper into the prison. Zizi! When Ross punched Magellan, the poisonous mist also touched his shoulder. He immediately used the wall of Distortion and repelled the poisonous mist. But there was still a little swelling and ulceration on the shoulders. Fortunately, his Tenacious talent has been raised to a certain extent and it can resist the slight toxicity of erosion and let the skin slowly recovers. Lets go. Ross rushed out of the poisonous mist and came to the entrance to the Eternal Hell. Shiliew of the Rain had already been waiting here and the poisonous fog of the ink green color was everywhere in the Eternal Hell. Although Magellan tried to control the poison mist and did not flood it into those cages, this kind of thing could not be done very well. Most of the cages were eroded by the poisonous fog. It seems that Magellan cant be the Director anymore. Shiliew of the Rain looked at the tragedy in Eternal Hell and grinned and rushed up with Ross. Dont try to escape! Magellans roar came from the poisonous mist, accompanied by a lot of venoms, coming to the entrance, trying to chase Ross and Shiliew of the Rain. Ross and Shiliew of the Rains eyes twinkled, they turn around almost at the same time, waving their swords. Bang! Sword energy and the power of distortion were poured into the venom. Rosss power of distortion opened the venom and landed on Magellans body, while Shiliew of the Rains sword cut Magellans chest at the same time, leaving a terrible scar. Magellan flew out again and fell into the depths of Eternal Hell. He should not be dead yet. Who cares. Ross and Shiliew of the Rain looked back at the poisonous mist that pervaded the Eternal Hell and regained their gaze. They turned around at the same time, leaving behind two shameful impressions in the history of Impel Down. CHAPTER 217 KICKING KIZARU At the entrance between the sixth and fifth floors of Impel Down, Vice Administrator Hannibal led a large group of Jailers and guards to guard the entrance and saw Ross and Shiliew appear. Everyone was breathing heavily and showing a little fear. Warden Shiliew No, criminal Shiliew, and criminal Ghost Hand Ross, what have you done to the Director?! Hannibal held the weapon in her arms but her voice was trembling. This fear did not come from Ross, but from Shiliew of the Rain, he was a Warden here for a long time and everyone is aware of his strength. Shiliew of the Rain gave a hello and a strange expression appeared on his depressed face. Who knows? He turned to look at Ross and found that Ross also had the same expression on his face and the meaning was basically the same, so at the next moment, the two men rushed forward at the same time. Killing without amnesty! Screams and panic swirled here in an instant. Faced with Ross and Shiliew of the Rain, even if many Wardens took out their weapons such as the special Seastone net, they could not put up any resistance and were destroyed by the general slaughter. The two started from the fifth floor and pushed all the way up. No one could stop them even for a moment and the blood that flowed created a small stream and turned the Impel Down into a real hell. 40 Talent Proficiency Points, not bad. At the bottom of Eternal Hell, he couldnt get any rewards out of the pirates with 200 million bounties. In the process of killing from the fifth floor till here, Ross harvested 40 points of Talent Proficiency. Without any hesitation, he directly put the 40-talent proficiency points into the Tenacious talent, so Tenacious talent jumped from 160 to 200, and it finally acquired Maximum Value. Zizi! After reaching the Maximum Value, the slow-recovering poisonous wound on his shoulders got recovered in an instant, the healing effect of the Tenacious talent has reached a point where it can instantly heal such wounds. In addition, after reaching the Maximum Value, Tenacious talent also got a special final ability, that is, everything can be regenerated except the head and heart. In other words. Whether his arm is severed, or other organs are broken, or the neck is severed, they can be regenerated under the Maximum Values Tenacious talent, he just doesnt know how long it would take to regenerate. I should be able to resist Magellans poison and kill him. Ross looked at the depths of Impel Down, showing a hint of speculation, wondering if he could kill Magellan before he left, he may be able to get some rewards. However, at this time, a golden light flashed from the entrance to Impel Down and rushed in and turned a figure. Kizaru arrived! Its Admiral Kizaru. Shiliew of the Rain pulled out his half blade without showing any fear. He had long ago dealt with Kizaru and others when they had not yet become Admiral. Although he hasnt fought against him for many years, he doesnt have any fears. Even if he cant beat him, it will not be so easy for Kizaru to stop him, not to mention Ross. You arrived at a perfect time. Ross took back his eyes on looked towards the depths of Impel Down and again turned towards Kizaru. How about I go and kill Magellan and you block Kizaru for a while?. Shiliew of the Rain: He found out that Ross is a more dangerous person than him. Whether it is his mentality or character. He had just killed various prisoners and other Wardens and he still wants to kill Megallen. Kizaru has already perceived the horrible situation Of Impel Down. He only felt a headache coming in. At this moment, when he heard Ross, his wrinkled face was pulled down completely. Ohh, talking about killing the Director of Impel Down while I am standing in front of you, where do you think you are standing right now? This is not a place where you can do whatever do you want. In Kizarus view, Ross should have joined hands with Shiliew of the Rain to injure Magellan this badly. Now he has arrived, although Magellan is badly injured, as long as he comes up in time and works with him, there is a great possibility that Ross and Shiliew of the Rain will be caught again. Ross looked at Kizaru and said in a low voice: This is the third time Ive met you, Kizaru. Do you remember what I said in Dressrosa, I said that I would hurt you more if I met you again. Oh? Kizaru squinted slightly and stared at Ross. Whiz! In the next moment, Ross suddenly lifted his leg at Kizaru from a distance of about ten meters and kicked it out. Kizaru thought it was a long-range attack and was ready to dodge, but almost at the moment he was about to dodge, the distance between the two men was suddenly narrowed. Boom! Ross kicked Kizaru on his stomach. Blood flew out of Kizarus mouth and his face was distorted in the pain. He flew back toward the rear. He was smashed and pushed against the wall of Impel Down creating a big hole in the said wall, his figure disappeared and people inside could see blue sky and clouds through the hole he created. Shiliew of the Rain: What do you think of the previous proposal? Ross turned to look at Shiliew of the Rain. Shiliew of the Rain mouth twitched slightly as he wanted to say something. However, at this moment, a cold chill suddenly came from outside the main entrance, freezing the sea outside the Impel Down instantly into ice, the frost spread through the main entrance and came towards Ross and Shiliew of the Rain. Aokiji. Shiliew of the Rain and Ross leaped at the same time and rushed out of the Impel Down. When they came outside, Aokiji was standing not far away, half of the body was turned into ice and he is breathing out a white mist. Whiz! The golden light flickered from the sky and fell not far from the ice. It condensed into Kizarus shape. There was still blood spilling from the corners of his mouth and his face was still distorted from pain. Aokiji looked at Kizaru and frowned before asking, What the hell happened to you? Kizarus mouth twitched slightly and the wrinkles on his face squeezed a little tighter. I think I knew Rosss attack methods very well so I got careless and was kicked by Ross as a result How could he say that to Aokiji without his pride being trampled? This is shameful! Whats more, hes still a little confused, not by the kick, but just what happened to that foot he was kicked with, he has not yet figured it out. Magellan had never fought against Ross, so he kept his vigilance against Ross, but Kizaru had fought against Ross many times and he had never saw Ross use this method so he wasnt able to figure out what had happened and how he was kicked. Lets go. Ross took a look at Aokiji and Kizaru. Two-to-two will soon turn into two-to-three. There was no point in continuing this play. As for the ability of Distortion Space, he is not familiar with it. The only thing he knows is that Distorting the Space requires a lot of power of distortion. Otherwise, Magellan will not only be pierced by his arm and Kizaru would not be simply kicked away. CHAPTER 218 DEPRESSED KIZARU Lets go. Shiliew of the Rain also didnt want to face two Admirals plus Magellan. He and Ross instantly turned into two black shadows and flew away towards the frozen ice. After we have exhausted so much effort to get you in, how can we let you go so easily, stay here. At the moment when Aokijis voice came out, he rushed out from the flank position. His impression of Ross still stays with the Florian Triangle sea. Although he is wary of Ross, his vigilance is not great. Most of his attention is focused on Shiliew of the Rain. Icicle! Kchkch! The ice spread out of Aokijis arms and approached Ross and Shiliew of the Rain from the air at an extremely fast speed, trying to freeze the two. Ross raised his hand and grabbed the frozen ice directly. The power of distortion rushed out and the icicles burst open instantly, turning into countless ice cubes. On the other side. Shiliew of the Rain drew his sword from the sheath. Instead of chopping off the ice attack, he flashed across the air and appeared behind Aokiji. Ah ah Aokijis body had a crack in its waist and he was chopped into two segments, but it seemed that his Kenbonshoku had captured Shiliew of the Rains action and he had elementarized ahead of time to avoid being chopped in two. At that moment, Kizaru turned into a golden light and he suddenly flashing in front of Ross, with one foot twinkling and kicking at Ross. Bang Long! The foot pierced through Rosss body in an eerie way. A laser burst from Kizarus foot, and hit the ice below, causing a violent explosion. Hm? Kizarus eyes flashed with amazement. Phantom? No! My Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki captured his real body! Just when Kizaru was stunned, Rosss body which was like a phantom, moved sideways, It appears as if Kizarus legs had passed through his body. Boom! Ross punched out and the power of distortions erupted in the front. Kizarus face changed and he quickly used Armament Haki for defense. His arms were stacked in front of him, but the strength of Rosss punch was beyond his expectations. It was completely unstoppable and he was directly pushed down and broke into the ice. Hey, what are you doing? Aokiji was trying to suppress Shiliew of the Rain and suddenly, he saw Kizaru being suppressed by Ross in a single move. His face changed and he was annoyed. Kizaru usually acts like a fool, but why is he doing that now, he is not serious at all, cant he see the seriousness of the matter?! Go down! Ross punched towards Aokiji, cooperating with Shiliew of the Rain. Aokiji was unable to face the attacks of Ross and Shiliew of the Rain. While resisting briefly with the ice wall, Aokiji retreated downward and avoided the pincer attack. However. Just as Ross and Shiliew of the Rain got rid of Aokiji and Kizaru for the moment, Magellan finally burst out of the Impel Down. The wound cut by Shiliew of the Rain in his chest and abdomen area was wounded by straw bandaging, but the blood was still oozing out. Poisonous flow! Magellan exhaled and the venom rushed up towards Ross and Shiliew of the Rain. Aokiji saw Magellans injuries and his eyes showed a little sadness. The wound was obviously cut by Shiliew of the Rain. It seems that Shiliew of the Rain has improved a lot over the years. Magellan, how are you? I can still fight. Magellans face was repressed as he looked at Ross and Shiliew of the Rain. He said: Its my responsibility as the Warden to guard Impel Down and to not let the prisoners escape, I cant let them escape. Aokiji jumped up and made a huge ball of ice in the air, smashing Ross and Shiliew of the Rain and headed towards Kizaru, who had also rushed out of the ice: Borsalino, Ghost Hand Ross is handed over to you first. Kizaru opened his mouth. He is already thinking that Aokiji seemed to be doing something wrong. What is it with the Ghost Hand Ross is handed over to you first, dont say it so easily, okay? There was hardly much time to talk in Battle, especially when Ross and Shiliew of the Rain were withdrawing together. The ice ball was just broken. Aokiji joined Magellan and charged towards Shiliew of the Rain, leaving Kizaru alone to face Ross. Get Lost! Ross looked at Kizaru with a blank face. His Haoshoku Haki burst out and suppressed Kizaru in an instant and then he stepped out of Distortion Space. After that, he came directly to Kizarus left side and swept towards him. Kizaru now has enough vigilance against Ross, but Rosss sudden appearance next to him still shocked him as Ross was not so fast! And. How did Ross come over at once, even his Observation Haki couldnt understand it. In short, it was like Whoosh and then he flashed on his side. Boom! Faced with Rosss weird ways and speed, Kizaru did not know how to deal with him for a while and was forced to fight a defensive battle again. Faced with Rosss enhanced power of distortion, he could hardly resist it. Once again, he was flown out by his attack, this time directly into Impel Down. Aokiji: %#*# Magellan, who was seriously injured, had just made a few moves when he saw Kizaru flying out again. One time maybe from his carelessness, but the second time. Can he still be playing around?! Kizaru crashed into the Impel Down City, leaving Aokiji and the seriously injured Magellan apparently unable to stop Ross, they were simply shaken off by Ross and Shiliew of the Rain. Because Magellan was seriously injured, he was unable to catch up and the ability of poisonous fruit is great within the closed environment of Impel Down is much worse in the outside world. Therefore. Aokiji could only watch Ross and Shiliew of the Rain join hands, drop him and Megallan on the ground at the same time, and then sweep to the distant horizon, turning into two shadows. A golden light flashed out of the Impel Down and it condensed into Kizarus form, Kizaru saw Magellan lying there and Aokiji standing there and for a while, no one spoke. What about those two? Did they run? Aokiji looked at Kizaru, his face darkened and asked him, Hey I say, What are you doing? You couldnt stop him and was kicked twice? I Kizarus throat moved a bit as if it was stuck in something. He actually wanted to say that it was three times, but he couldnt say anything when he looked at Aokijis face. A bitter expression appeared on his face as he said: How can you say that the strength of that fellow has changed a little bit more than before, it was as if he was stronger than me! You can ask Magellan. Aokiji looks at Magellan with a blank expression. However, Magellan was dragging his badly injured body in Battle, when Ross and Shiliew of the Rain were completely gone, he was extremely angry and he fell directly in a coma. Kizaru looked down at Magellan, who was in a coma, and his mouth twitched slightly. He looked up again to see Aokijis gaze, revealing an innocent expression. Then report it like that. Aokiji sighed, he is too lazy to argue with Kizaru and he rushed to some of the Marines: The medical team, hurry to save some people! Looking at Aokiji, Kizaru felt that his chest was blocked and he couldnt spit out. He could only wrinkle a bitter melon face and say nothing. What the hell is going on here?! CHAPTER 219 ETERNAL POSE Seeing that Aokiji and others did not catch up, Ross slowed down after flying for a while. However. He didnt cover Shiliew of the Rain with his Gravity Distortion. Anyway, the other party had already used Gepp (Moonwalk) and Shiliew wasnt a girl. Ross liked him as a general potential teammate but not to the point where he would take him flying with him. Where to go next. Shiliew of the Rain looks at Ross. From the previous battle, he has judged that he is not Rosss opponent, the gap between their strength is clear. Rosss strength is mostly higher than Aokiji or Kizaru. Since Ross is better than him, he doesnt mind being ranked second. What Log Pose did you find back there? Ross asked Shiliew of the Rain when Shiliew of the Rain went to take the sword, he brought a Log Pose with him. Shiliew of the Rain heard the words and took out a Log Pose from his pocket and threw it at Ross. Single arrow? Eternal Pose? Ross looked at the Log Pose and his expression changed slightly. He looked at the direction Pose was pointing to and then combined with the position of Impel Down, his face suddenly turned a little black. Thats not really an Eternal Pose for the Marine Headquarters, is it?. Do you still have other Log Pose? Ross looked at Shiliew of the Rain with a frown on his face. Shiliew of the Rain shook his head and said: I only took this one, what happened? Cant we use it? Rosss mouth twitched and he said: It works, but this Log Pose points to Marine Headquarters. Shiliew of the Rains face suddenly stiffened. He didnt know anything about sailing and Log Pose. This Log Pose is also a handy one. The problem seems to be a bit serious. How about going back and taking another one? After a little hesitation, Shiliew of the Rain asked Ross. Ross said: We can take it, but if we go back, we wont necessarily be able to get out again. I dont care much, but you may get hurt. Indeed. Its totally different to want to go back and take something. After all, they are only two people. No matter how strong Ross is, its impossible for him to block two Marine Admiral. Any flaw in it will lead to very dangerous consequences. In my opinion, lets go to Marine Headquarters. Ross took the Log Pose and after a little thought, his eyes flashed slightly. Shiliew of the Rains face changed suddenly as he said: Stop kidding me, Marine Headquarters is not someplace where we can just go because we want to. Us going there is equal to going to our death No. Rosss eyes sparkled. Theres been such a big thing going on in Impel Down, Magellan has been seriously injured and Aokiji and Kizaru are mostly going to help deal with it for a day and a half, they wont be able to get back in a short time. Shiliew of the Rain retorted: Marine Headquarters is not as simple as you think. There are other forces besides them. Sengoku, Garp, and Akainu are not simple characters. So what? Ross shrugged at Shiliew of the Rain and said, Were just going to rob a Battleship. Were not going to destroy Marine Headquarters. We just need to rob a Battleship when they arent paying attention to it. Listening to Ross, Shiliew of the Rain almost believed it. He thought for a moment and murmured, But in our condition, its too much of a risk, we will lose most of our stamina by the time we reach the Marine Headquarter. In short, its too dangerous. Ross laughed. Thats easy. Not far away is Aokijis frozen ice. They havent flown far yet. Ross comes over the ice and breaks it down with his sword. Shiliew of the Rain had just wanted to say that it was too slow to float this ice cube on the sea, and in the next moment, the ice flew straight up and instantly came into mid-air, to Rosss feet. This ability does not consume too much stamina. After Shiliew of the Rain started a little, he flew over with Gepp (Moonwalk) and landed on the ice. This time, his expression was uncertain. Finally, he made a decision, he said: In that case, its up to you. Dont put us both in jail again Oh, if you are caught again, youll probably be executed directly. That kind of thing only happens once. Ross faintly smiled, he flew in the direction of the Marine Headquarters by controlling the ice. Marine Headquarters. Fleet Admiral Sengoku stood in his office, listening to intelligence coming from Impel Down. His face grew darker and darker and he rested his hand on the table. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly left the office and came to the other side of the United Front office where Vice-Admiral had gathered. The whole United Front office was silent, and the Marine Vice-Admirals could roughly guess the result from Sengokus expression, but no one spoke and they were looking at Sengoku. Doberman stood in the corner, he would like to hear better news. When he arrived at the United Front Office, Sengoku laid his hands on the table and, after a few seconds of silence, raised his head slowly and looked at the numerous Vice-Admiral in the office. Ghost Hand Ross and Shiliew of the Rain Escaped. Impel Downs Eternal hell was severely damaged. The prisoners on the upper floors and Wardens were also slaughtered. Chief Magellan was seriously injured and is receiving urgent treatment Sengoku slowly stated the report he received from Den Den Mushi. There was silence in the entire office. Great Staff Officer Tsuru, sitting next to him, put her hands on the table and put her chin on her hands. She sighed, I didnt expect this would be the result. Our efforts are ruined. Admiral cant stop him. Impel Down couldnt contain him. And this time theres Shiliew of the Rain with him. It looks like hes mostly going to work with Ross. What will the Ghost Pirate regiment look like? Unpredictable. Nobody dares to think about it. The atmosphere of the entire United Front Office was low. The Ghost Hand Ross should have been executed from the beginning. Vice-Admiral said in a low voice. No, they should have been defeated earlier, before they could pose a threat. Before Ghost Hand Ross stepped into the Grand Line, he should have been executed. The Vice-Admirals in the office said one after another, but the atmosphere in the office remained depressed, they were not eased by their words. At this point, who should take responsibility? No one knows who does it first. They looked at a figure in the corner. Although they immediately withdrew their gazes, the people next to him looked at that figure one after another, consciously looking at the past. The person in that corner is Headquarters Vice-Admiral Doberman. Faced with the peoples eyes from time to time, he lowered his head and pinched his fists, his nails almost embedded into his flesh, and his face became terrible at this time. Why? Why is it that you were able to get out of Impel Down safely! What the hell was Magellan doing, what are the two Admirals Kizaru and Aokiji doing? Why continue to torture him? CHAPTER 220 NOISY HEADQUARTER Twenty minutes later. Under the control of Ross, The ice approached the Marine Headquarters at an extremely fast rate. Are you going to fly like this? Shiliew of the Rain seemed to have a black line on his forehead, suppressing the strange feelings in his heart, because he found that Ross had no signs of slowing down, but seemed to plan to rush. Ross didnt answer Shiliew of the Rains question, but instead asked an irrelevant question: Would you use your Observation Haki whenever you are free? Of course I wont. Shiliew of the Rain answered without thinking about it. He would not use his Observation Haki anytime and anywhere and what does that have to do with the current situation. Ross calmly said, Then no one will find us. Buzz!! The Light Distortion and Sound Distortion are activated simultaneously and the traces of the ice block were instantly retracted from the sky. Unless someone carefully perceived them by using Observation Haki, the Marines will not notice any abnormalities. Looking at the Marine Headquarters getting closer, Shiliew of the Rain knows that Ross has his reason to do so, but he still shows a trace of fear on his face, but when the two fell to a corner of the Marine Headquarters port, the fear on Shiliew of the Rains face became strange. No one found them out. No, it shouldnt be said that no one found them, but they seemed to be invisible. It was obvious that others had looked in their direction but they couldnt see them. I can use my ability to manipulate light to become invisible, I can also conceal sound and make it silent, Ross explained this to Shiliew of the Rain calmly. For people like Shiliew of the Rain, Ross never expected to be able to make the other person submit from the heart at once, but he didnt need the other person submit, he just needs him to obey him first. And the combination of absolute power and infinite mystery, Shiliew of the Rain will not be able to raise any anti-oriented ideas and will behave as his second in command. Naturally. Maybe even the second in command will not be able to sit down in the future. Shiliew of the Rain has already roughly guessed this but when listening to Ross, his eyes still flashed with a hint of fear, but Ross is now his own Captain. The stronger and more mysterious he is, the better it is and he does not want to follow a useless Captain. Shiliew of the Rain looked at the Battleship in the port and said, Are we going to take the ship now? You can sneak into the building with your ability. It should be a lot easier to get a Log Pose. Thats right. Ross nodded with a light in his eyes that made Shiliew of the Rain a little scared and said, But since Marine Headquarters is here, I cant just go. Let me go and explore first. Explore? This is the Marine Headquarters. You just got out of Impel Down and now you want to explore the Marine Headquarters. What are you going to do after your little exploration, destroy it? Shiliew of the Rains forehead overflowed with a cold sweat, already feeling that his Captain was a little crazy, the performance put on by him in Impel Down was completely different. Sure enough, is this a kind of guy that will live safest in prison? Wrong. Its not in prison. You hide here first and try not to expose yourself. Ill go in and have a look. Ross gave a command to Shiliew of the Rain, hid Shiliew of the Rain in a corner, took the broken ice quietly into the sea and then walked towards the Marine Headquarters. Shiliew of the Rain looked at Rosss back with a complicated look and a trace of sweat on his forehead, muttering: Its really bad for you to mess with this guy, Marines Marinford. Here is the Marine Headquarters, also known as the worlds strongest fortress. The huge harbor is like two round arms hugging each other, surrounded by the round sea, once frozen into ice, it can form a platform huge enough to accommodate 100,000 people. Further up the front square of the Marine Headquarters fortress, Rosss impression of the Marine Headquarters is limited to his memory, this is the first time he had seen the grandeur of the Marine Headquarters. Along the way, there were Marine lieutenant and even officers who appeared and passed by him but they were not able to detect his presence, as long as someone does not use Observation Haki, they will not find Ross. Except for someone who is blind, no one will be bored enough to use Kenbonshoku (Observation). Naturally. Ross would not choose to go head-on which is a highly exposed method, but he will fly in mid-air, just to skim over Marine Headquarters. The battlefield of the War Of The Best is presented itself to Rosss eyes. Very good base. Rosss eyes twinkled with an inexplicable light, which seemed to others to be vague and crazy. What does the Great Sage Equal to Heaven wanted to do most when he jumped out of the Eight Diagrams Stove? Create Havoc in heaven! What does he want to do the most after coming out of Impel Down? Destroy Marine Headquarters! Quietly covering his traces, Ross fell to the corner of the fortress, found a single Marine Captain in a secluded corner and grabbed his neck from behind. Kch! After killing the Captain, Ross put on the others clothes, using Light Distortion to make his face look slightly deformed, and at the same time, his cap is slightly lowered as he goes inside the Marine Fortress. The inside of the fortress was quiet, with a repressed atmosphere, and occasionally a little voice was heard about the event in Impel Down. Rear Admiral, where is Vice-Admiral Garp? Ross quickened his pace a little and went to the high floor. When he saw a Rear Admiral, he took the initiative and greeted him as if he was looking for someone. The Rear Admiral was holding a stack of documents and heard a few words from Ross: Vice-Admiral Garp does not seem to be in the Marine Headquarters. What Ross stare is in place. The Rear Admiral seemed to be in a hurry. After responding, he hurried away. Although he vaguely felt that Rosss face was a bit strange, he did not really think about it. Here is the Marine Headquarters, the worlds strongest and most fortified fortress and because of this, the vigilance of the many Marines within it has also dropped a lot because who would dare to come to the Marine Headquarters to cause trouble. Garp is not there, very good. The expression of Ross stare turned into a sneer and he then went upstairs to the floor where Marine Admiral was. The atmosphere here is solemn, as the true core of Marines, or the highest level of Marines, both in the facilities and rooms, it is extremely spacious and bright. Ross did not release his Observation Haki to judge the existence of Admiral and Sengoku, because when he perceives them, they will also be able to perceived him and this time he needs to be quiet. Quickly. He came to Akainus door, knocked on it and went in. The room was large, but Akainu wasnt there. Only one Rear Admiral seemed to be working on something. He saw Ross pushing the door in, and Rear Admiral raised his head subconsciously. CHAPTER 221 BEING FURIOUS Hasnt Admiral Sakazuki returned yet? Ross asked the Rear Admiral. The Rear Admiral shook his head and said, Not yet. Ross oohed and left the room without a trace and closed the door. Then he ventured to investigate Kizarus and Aokijis rooms, confirming that neither Kizaru nor Aokiji had returned and they were still in Impel Down or halfway on their way. Aokiji, Kizaru, Akainu, all three Admirals are not there! Marine Hero Garp is not there either. That is to say, the only remaining powerful forces in Marine Headquarters are Fleet Admiral Sengoku and alternate Admirals Momousagi and Tokikake, plus a retired Admiral Black Wrist Zephyr. This is not enough staff Ross showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth. After a cold light flashed in his eyes, he came quietly to the bottom of the Marine Headquarters fortress. After hiding his traces, he took out the Cursed Blade Murasame from his waist and gently inserted it into the base of the Marine Headquarters fortress. The Toughness level of Marine Headquarters is beyond question. Even Whitebeard was only able to shatter its top and middle structure with his powerful attack and failed to completely blast the entire fortress and completely collapse the fortress. But. This Tough defensive power was easily penetrated by Rosss sword wrapped in the power of distortion like tofu. Although there is Seastone in the internal structure of the base, it can still be destroyed in front of current Ross. He holds the Cursed Blade Murasame, and after concealing his traces, he inserts the blade into the bottom of the fortress. The more obvious traces of the stones are connected along the trail. Its like taking a chainsaw and turning it around a very thick tree. At last. Leaving only a small portion of the connection, Ross stopped and calmly returned the Cursed Blade Murasame to its sheath and turned to the port. Youre back. Shiliew of the Rain hides in the darkness. He has been quietly releasing his Kenbonshoku (Observation), but he only released it in a radius of ten meters around him. When Ross came back, he noticed it in advance. When he saw Ross holding the handle of the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand, Shiliew of the Rains face changed slightly, with a vague idea that was not very good, and he couldnt help asking, What have you done? Nothing, I got the Log Pose we needed, and by the way, I processed the Marine Fortress a little for the next Big scene I will make in the Marine Headquarters! Ross grinned, revealing his white teeth and smiling in the sunshine. Sneer! The next moment, Ross swung his sword at the harbor. A large Battleship in the harbor, under Rosss sword attack was crushed. It broke from the mast inch by inch, spreading all the way down and finally, it was completely broken into pieces! Shiliew of the Rain: His eyes widened almost instantaneously and he lost his voice. Hey Buddy! This is the Marine Headquarters! It was already a mad plan to sneak in here to steal a Log Pose, shouldnt we just run away now? Suddenly, the whole harbor was blown up in an instant by sudden changes. Many Marines first stared, then all showed their horror. A large Battleship was destroyed! It was the Battleship docked in the Headquarters Harbor. It was destroyed by some kind of power. Who did it? Who is so courageous that he dared to destroy a Battleship in the Marine Headquarters? Damn it! Save those people! Someone invaded the Marine Headquarters, sound a level one alert! After the Captains in the harbor reacted, they screamed, and several Rear Admiral and Vice-Admiral almost immediately pulled out their swords and looked vigilantly around the large Battleship. At this time, Ross no longer hides his traces, so his body shape was revealed and he walks to the front of the harbor. Shiliew of the Rain shook his head a few times before following Ross. It seems that the main force of Headquarters is not there, but it will still be very dangerous to do this. He guessed Ross might have found out that Aokiji, Kizaru, and the other main players were not there, but as Fleet Admiral, Sengoku must be in the Marine Headquarters, plus there could be some other existence, and the risk of their capture was great. Isnt it dangerous to compete with Yonk (Four Emperors)? Ross asked a question, slanting his sword across the harbor and sweeping away. Sii! The harbor made of one of the worlds strongest minerals, under Rosss sword, was instantly cut open with crack thousands of meters in length. The outer side of the ring wall is cut in an instant! You are Captain, Ill just follow you. Shiliew of the Rain saw that the situation had already become like this. Now he stopped thinking about everything else. His eyes showed a cold shimmer. He also shot a sword attack at Battleship inside the harbor. Sii! Sii! The sword directly cut the two large Battleships from the center, as if cutting the model of the two ships but also opened an abyssal crack in the sea below. That that is Ghost Hand Ross! andShiliew of the Rain! The Marines on the harbor finally saw the figure of Ross and Shiliew of the Rain. After seeing them, almost everyone was stunned. Didnt these two people just escape from Impel Down? How come they suddenly appeared in the Marine Headquarters! However. Ross and Shiliew of the Rain didnt give them any time to think. The two seemed to be in the contest, and they shot their sword attacks in succession. The sword light and the power of distortion interlaced with each other and destroyed them. Even the strongest marine fortress harbor was like a piece of bread under their swords. It was continuously cut apart and various large Battleships were constantly being destroyed. Damn! Stop it! A headquarters Vice-Admiral, furious, snarled at Ross and attacked him with his sword arts from far away, but his sword energy was weaker then Shiliew of the Rain and it couldnt do anything to him, not to mention Ross. Ross lifted his left hand in the air and pressed it. The sword energy was like a snake, and it was contained in midair. Then Ross grabbed and pinched it with his left hand. Boom! The sword energy instantly collapsed. Once upon a time, a Headquarters Vice-Admiral can pose a great threat to him, but now those same Headquarters Vice-Admirals, except for Garp, Momousagi, and others at their level, are almost powerless against him. Finally. Just as Ross and Shiliew of the Rain destroyed the harbor in less than half a minute, an angry roar came from the Marine Fortress. Stop this madness for me! Fleet Admiral Sengoku rushed out of the top office and was in mid-air, giving off a golden glow and displaying his devil fruit power. Zoan Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu! Sengoku, transformed into a golden Buddha. He didnt expect Ross to join hands with Shiliew of the Rain to escape from prison. Whats more, Ross and Shiliew of the Rain were so bold that they would attack Marine Headquarters after escaping from prison! Lawless! Absolutely lawless! CHAPTER 222 ROSS VS SENGOKU Buzz!! Sengoku launched himself towards them in the form of a giant golden Buddha and attacked Ross and Shiliew of the Rain with a terrifying shock wave. Todays Sengoku is still at his peak power and the entire Blackbeard pirates vomited blood when hit by this attack at the end of his tenure and flew backward, he was able to confront Whitebeard at his peak period. This palm has not yet fallen. The terrible shock caused the fragmented harbor to break up again inch by inch, and numerous cracks appeared on the gravel as they were broken into a grain of sand. Distortion shock! Faced with Sengokus attack, Rosss eyes surged with battle intent. Now, he can deal with any Admiral in one on one combat and he has a great chance of victory against them. Only the existence at the level of Garp, Sengoku, and even Four Emperors can arouse his battle intent. Ross also launched a palm filled with the power of distortion. If Sengokus shock wave is to make a circular arc and impact in front of it, and Whitebeards Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) is a form of space fragmentation, then Rosss power of distortion is to make distortion appear in space. The empty Void seems to be transformed into something transparent and sticky, squirming and squeezing together, light and sound, all of which are naturally distributed here. Bang!! An earth-shattering sound rang. Under the angry blow of Sengoku and the hard shock of Rosss all-out efforts, the ruins in the center of the two men completely collapsed and exploded, shaking the earth and shaking the whole Marine Headquarters. Most of the base was cut off by Ross, leaving only a small connected area of the Headquarters Fortress, which also showed a little fragmentation under the shock. However. At this time, everyones attention was focused on the harbor and nobody noticed the anomaly of the headquarters fortress. At this moment in the harbor. Rosss power of distortion completely slammed against Sengokus attack. In the aftermath and squalor, the whole person only retreated three or four steps in the ruins and then stabilized his figure. And Sengoku, who is opposite him, also retreated a little backward in two steps. He was able to match the attack of Fleet Admiral Sengoku! How can it be Some of the Vice-Admirals and Rear Admirals of Marine Headquarters watched this scene with horror in their eyes. Many of them had followed Sengoku, who was once an Admiral and they had seen Sengokus strength many times, but Ross was able to block this strength head-on. This kind of strength is more terrifying than the rumors! His strength has reached this level? This is bad Looking at Ross in front of him, Sengoku couldnt help but be shocked by the strength displayed by Ross. He had just attacked in his anger but he did not hold back his strength at all. However. Although this strength has outperformed Kizaru and others but in the face of two Admiral, he will be defeated, he may not be so easy to escape. Sengoku does not understand how Ross escaped from Impel Down and then came to the Marine Headquarters as if nothing had happened. Is it really because of Kizarus sloppy attitude and lack of seriousness, as the Aokiji report suggests? Sengokus anger rose again as he watched the almost fragmented harbor being destroyed. As the Marine Fleet Admiral, the harbor of Marine Headquarters was destroyed and he would not be able to escape responsibility. Marine Fleet Admiral, Sengoku, this is the first time we met, its really different. Ross, who was much smaller than the Golden Buddha, stood quietly in the ruins and slowly retracted his palms and calmly looked at Sengoku. Sengoku is overwhelmed with anger and his face is cold as he said: Although I dont know how you escaped from Impel Down but here is the Marine Headquarters, Youre not qualified to go wild here! You troublesome boy! After the voice fell. Sengoku looked sideways at Shiliew of the Rain behind Ross and said with an ugly face, Shiliew, is this your choice? A Warden turned into a pirate And what?. Shiliew of the Rain holds the second generation demon blade, sipping a cigar, he looked at Sengoku and said slowly: I was locked in the sixth floor of Impel Down, never to see the sky again. Sorry, I dont like that kind of living, so Now, I am with him, and I will take care of his enemies in the future. Sengoku heard this and he became angrier. He bit his teeth and stared at Ross and Shiliew of the Rain. He suddenly jumped up and slammed his palm towards them. If this is the case Then I as the Marine Fleet Admiral will execute you two here on the spot! Buzz!! The impact was not much more violent than the previous one, but it was pushed down from the top, not only containing the impact force but also the attack power from Sengoku. On the spot, if you can do it, you are welcome to try it out. Rosss eyes narrowed and he held the Cursed Blade Murasame. He poured the power of distortion into the blade of the Cursed Blade Murasame, holding the hilt and slamming it towards Sengoku. Buzz!! The power of distortion surrounds the sword edge, allowing the surrounding Void to appear in the form of Distortion, forming a sharper, nearly single-point attack than the last time, colliding with Sengokus impact attack. The shock and Distortion frenzies intertwine, Sengokus impact cant contain Cursed Blade Murasames penetration, and Ross power of distortion cant contain Sengokus gold-cast Buddhas hand. Ding! Under intense pressure, Sengokus Golden Palm touched Rosss sword tips and made a crisp jingle. At the same time, the aftermath of the shock and the Distortion confrontation finally erupted and swept the land apart and cracks appeared on Rosss feet, spreading in all directions. Shiliew of the Rain can still hold his figure. As for some Vice-Admirals and Rear Admirals nearby, they are forced to use their power to hold back their figure in the aftermath. The weak Marine soldiers are swept back by the strong wind and fell into the sea with countless stones. I dont know how long it took. The aftermath dispersed. Ross stands on the ruins, the only piece of the area that is slightly intact is at his foot and it also presents a dense crack in it. He held the position of holding the sword, pointing its tip to the sky, against Sengokus dark golden palm. Sengokus strike was finally exhausted, and he still couldnt do anything to Ross. He could not help turning over and landing more than ten meters away. The shape of the big Golden Buddha is really hard. Ross slowly retracted his sword and opened his mouth to Sengoku. He did not hesitate to let his body bear part of the impact. He concentrated the power of distortion on the sword edge and tried to pierce Sengokus palm. But Sengokus Buddha form, combined with the terrible Armament Haki, was so defensive that it could not be pierced at all. But. Sengoku was more shocked than Ross. He had just attacked with all his strength and Ross was able to withstand his impact attack and Ross did not even show any signs of injury. His impression of Rosss ability is that he should be a Paramecia, not a Logia user that can withstand the impact of his attack without taking any injuries, which shows that Rosss physique has become strong to inhuman level! CHAPTER 223 FIERCE STRUGGLE Its completely blocked Shiliew of the Rains clenched the hilt of his sword and converges a little. He originally planned to fight Sengoku with Ross if Ross could not resist him alone. After all, now he and Ross are like a grasshopper on a rope. There is no other way. Its unrealistic to turn around and run away. If Ross falls, he cant escape alone. Sengokus expression is slightly repressed. The first hit was out of aggression, while the second hit detected Rosss physique and Armament Haki, both of which had no weaknesses. If you cant find a weakness for a person of Rosss level, it will be extremely difficult to deal with him. Once you find a weakness, its easier to win using that weakness. Whiz! The next moment Sengoku shot out again, his huge body shape did not affect his speed as he jumped and came in front of Ross, a palm pressing towards him. This time, instead of an intense explosion, he abandoned some of his offensive power and tried to find Rosss flaws with speed and defeat Ross with a consistent strike. But. Just as he rushed to Ross, Rosss Observation Haki had already captured his movements and he took a step toward the left. The whole person suddenly crossed a large distance and appeared on the right-wing of Sengoku and swept his foot towards Sengokus back. What?! Sengokus pupils shrank. Although his Observation Haki was strong, it was not up to the level of Future Prediction. Rosss trajectory in his perception was very weird as if he had done something he should not have done. In the face of Rosss unexpected move, Sengoku could not cope with it. He could only upgrade his defense to the highest level. His waist was also directly attached to a deep layer of Armament Haki, turning it into a dark golden color. Boom! When Ross kicked, Sengokus body seemed to be a huge golden ball, slamming toward the ruins on one side, slamming and smashing a watchtower. All of Marine, who looked far away from this site didnt expect this scene to appear, showing a look of horror. Fleet Admiral Sengoku was kicked by Ross! Bang Long! The stone watchtower was broken and Sengoku re-appeared in the ruins. He was not injured, but his face looked very unsightly. Ross had just moved and he couldnt figure out what was going on. Ross has shown great strength in attack, speed, defense, physique, and Haki, almost without any shortcomings. Such strength has far exceeded the analysis and judgment of Ross in Intelligence. Wicked Sengoku could not help grinding his teeth at the thought that Ross might have joined Marines in the beginning. But because of the garbage on the bottom of Marines, Ross now stands on the opposite side of Marine, and Sengoku couldnt help but hate it. But at this point, there is no use thinking about it at all. This thought is only flashing in Sengokus mind for a moment, and he once again rushed towards Ross. No way out. I have to fight. Even if he knows that he cant do anything to Ross alone, he has to stop Ross from destroying the Marine Headquarters. Otherwise, once he gets out of here, Marines face will be completely stepped on by Ross alone and they will become a laughing stock to the entire world. Bang! Bang! Bang! Sengoku and Ross continued to fight, with Distortion and shocks erupting, the whole port shaking, and waves surging from time to time. Shiliew of the Rain on the other side saw Ross completely blocking Sengoku and he looks at the Vice-Admirals and Rear Admiral nearby with a grin on his face and attacked them with his sword. Shiliew! At this moment, a cold and low voice came from the distance and a figure rushed over, holding a sword, and shattering Shiliew of the Rains sword energy. Seeing someone coming towards him, Shiliew of the Rains snorted, he and Momousagi go way back. I havent seen you for many years, and your sword arts have grown a lot. Shiliew Are you serious? Attacking the Marine Headquarters with a pirate Momousagi took a deep breath and shouted at Shiliew of the Rain. She used to talk to Shiliew of the Rain many times about sword arts. She didnt expect Shiliew of the Rain to join the pirate camp. Shiliew of the Rain took his cigar and said, Yeah, so whats next, can you stop me, it depends on how your sword arts have developed. Whiz! Shiliew of the Rain didnt show any mercy. The sword fell and the sword edge showed a bloody and suffocating rush as it fell toward Momousagi. Momousagi, as a top swordsman, naturally would not show any carelessness in this battle, she also immediately entered the battle state, glaring at the coming swing of the sword and planning to counterattack. Ding-Ding! The light of the sword was staggered and the figures of the two men fought here. Ah how did it become like this. Tokikake came late, looking at the harbor and covering his forehead with a headache. He first looked in the direction of Momousagi and said: Thats a swordsmans fight, I cant participate in it, otherwise, shell annoy me afterward. Turning his head to look in the direction of Ross and Sengokus fight, Tokikake showed a trace of surprise in his eyes. He had seen Ross fight a few months ago and he was sure that he had seen all of Ross power in that battle. Ross did not possess this level of strength at that time and now he can go against Sengoku without losing any ground and he may be able to win this one on one fight. But now. In just a few months, Ross already has the strength to confront Sengoku and he is almost his equal in battle, this growth rate is almost incredible! He knew that Ross had been detained in Eternal Hell for a few months, is it possible for someone to explode with so much strength while being detained in prison? Or Did Ross deliberately locked himself in Impel Down? Either way, Tokikake felt terrible. After his face changed, he rushed towards Ross and joined forces with Sengoku to press Ross. Shiliew of the Rain is all right. Everyone already knows him and his strength well, but Ross is someone who he couldnt understand it at all. Now he came to the Marine Headquarters. If they let him go. Maybe hell attack the Holy Land Mariejois someday! Whiz! Faced with Tokikake, who was attacked him from the flank side, Rosss eyes flashed and he launched the Distortion Space and punched directly at Tokikake in an attempt to repel him back directly. However, Tokikake is better than others. His Observation Haki has reached the pinnacle level and he has received the ability to predict the future. He already saw the scene of Rosss fist crossing the space. Immediately afterward, his face changed and he made an action to avoid it. Sengoku, this guys attack seems to ignore the spatial distance! I know. Sengoku responded with a deep voice, he has already understood this after fighting him for such a long time. If he still couldnt detect the ability of Ross, he would not be a Marine Fleet Admiral. However, he was aware that this method could not be solved in a short time. He could only use his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki to response in time. Its like everyone knows Kizaru is the fastest in the world, but no one can find any way to deal with Kizaru in this aspect. Chapter 224 5th Emperor Whiz! Sengoku rushed to the front of Ross and slammed him out. Ross dodged Sengokus attack and appeared behind Sengokus back and stepped down and trampled Sengoku down from the sky. At the same time, Tokikakes attack came from behind. Ross backhandedly resisted Tokikakes attack and caused Tokikake to flew out. Just then, a shock came from below and flew Ross out. With Sengoku alone, it was hard to win or lose in a short time, but with Tokikake present in the battle and his ability of future prediction, Ross gradually lost interest in Battle. After all, its Marine Fleet Admiral. One-on-two is still too hard. Ross wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a gentle tone while being suspended in the air. Dont make unnecessary struggles, Ghost Hand Ross, We wont let you run away after you destroyed the Marine Headquarters in this way, I must use your life to defend the majesty of Marines! Sengoku looked sternly at Ross. He was not confident in blocking Ross in one-on-one confrontation but with Tokikake and his Future prediction ability, it would be difficult for Ross to escape. He was confident that he can hold Ross here. But. At this time, Ross suddenly showed a strange expression, saying: Destroying this way Do you think it is just like this? When he heard Ross, Sengoku started a little and did not understand what Ross meant. But at that moment, Tokikake on the other side seemed to see something. There was an expression of horror on his face and he stood with his mouth open. Bad Thats terrible! The next moment, he saw Ross stepping out to the right, and the whole person had already arrived in front of the Marine Fortress, punching a punch and slamming into the Marine Fortress. Sengoku didnt know what Ross was going to do, but he was instinctively aware that he should stop this, but he couldnt match the movement of the Rosss Distortion space, and it was too late to do anything. What is he trying to do? Many Marine recruits in the Marine Headquarters also saw Ross, who appeared in front of the huge fortress, and saw Rosss punching action. Destroying the Marine Fortress? This huge Marine fortress, standing in Marinford, is made from one of the worlds toughest ores. It is also filled with Seastone and has a unique design. It is not so weak as to be shaken by one blow. Rosss fist fell silently as countless people watched, the power of distortion swung open and hammered into the Marine fortress. Bang! In the next moment. Everyones face changed and their mouths widened little by little, whether it was a Rear Admiral or a Vice-Admiral, or even Fleet Admiral Sengoku, they all stared dead and stared incredibly. Only to see! After Rosss fist fell, it was like the space in front of him became empty. His attack hit and ripples spread out and the layers swayed. His punch hit the center of the fortress, in the middle of the two characters of Marine. The seagull-shaped one represents the flag of Marine. The logo representing Marines, under this punch, showed signs of fragmentation, like a whirlpool of Distortion has collapsed on it. But. This is not the real scene that shocked and horrified the people. What really shocked everyone is that the Marine Fortress which gives them an indestructible, strong and ultimate feeling, broke off from the bottom and collapsed towards the Citytown behind the Marine Headquarters under Rosss fist. One punch! The Marine fortress collapsed! Quick Quick, theres Citytown behind, you cant let it fall down! Tokikake saw this scene in advance with his Future Prediction and took the lead and responded with horror, rushing toward the collapsed Headquarters fortress. Fleet Admiral Sengoku also woke up from his dream state and his face changed dramatically, he ignored Ross and followed Tokikake and rushed toward the collapsed Headquarters Fortress. At the rear of the Headquarters Fortress is the Citytown where the family of Marine lives! No matter who it is, their relatives live there and even Sengokus relatives live there. If the fortress collapses, the consequences will be unimaginable! Block it! Sengoku tried his best to rush to the bottom of the collapsed fortress when the fortress collapsed nearly two-thirds and tried to prop up the collapsed fortress. However, the weight of this fortress is terrifying. It is almost impossible for human beings to support such a terrifying fortress weight with their bodies. Sengoku can break this fortress, but it is not so easy to carry it up! Quick Come and help!!! Tokikake is also holding on to the collapsed Marine Fortress while screaming at the Venice-Admirals and Rear Admirals who are still watching in the horror. Ordinary people simply cant resist this, even Rear Admirals has little effect, only those Vice-Admirals can be used to support the collapsed fortress. Because the fortress is too big, except for Sengoku, who is in the form of a big Buddha, no one else has any foothold at all. They can only tread on the Geppo (Moonwalk) to fight hard. Its like a mayfly shaking a tree! This Momousagi, who is confronting Shiliew of the Rain, is also stunned seeing this scene. She didnt expect to see such a scene. Under the shock, she couldnt compete with Shiliew of the Rain and charged towards the collapsing Marine Fortress. The entire Headquarter is in a mess right now. Screaming and shouting came and went like a fire at home. Everyone rushed to fight the fire. But they could not save nither could they put out the fire. Shiliew of the Rain looked at the collapsed Marine Headquarters and stared at it for a long time until Ross walked over to him, he put his sword in its scabbard. Sure enough, joining him was the correct decision. When Sengoku and others rushed to pick up the collapsed Headquarters, Ross flew back to the ruined port and waved at Shiliew of the Rain. The two grabbed a Battleship and Ross used Gravity Distortion to fly it in the sky to go away. This bastard Sengoku screamed while he was carrying the collapsing Marine Headquarters. He had already noticed that the base of the Marine Headquarters had been broken, but there was no way he could give up and he could not free his hand to stop Ross. Even if his heart is roaring and even if he cant wait to kill Ross 10,000 times. At this time, he can only let Ross and Shiliew of the Rain fly away. Great Age of Pirates, 16th year. Ghost Hand Ross teamed up with Shiliew of the Rain and seriously injured Impel Down Chief Magellan, They escaped from Impel Down and created a legend of them being the second one to escape in the history of Impel Down and almost completely destroyed the entire Impel Down Prison. Half an hour later, Ghost Hand Ross and Shiliew of the Rain hit the Marine Headquarters, destroying the Gulf of Marinford and the fortress of the Marine Headquarters, making a horrible situation and leaving, The Marines failed to stop them. Three days later. Ghost Hand Rosss hanging bounty was raised to 1.7 Billion Berries, Shiliew of the Rains bounty was posted at 1.1 billion Berries and the news spread throughout the sea. Thats what its said in the last two paragraphs of a news report. When we all thought that he became a history, he escaped from Impel Down and rushed into the Marine Headquarters, destroying the Marine Fortress and leaving. There is no doubt that the Grand Line finally ushered in the fifth Emperor that ruled it And that Emperor is Ghost Hand Ross! CHAPTER 225 FINAL FORM New World. Somewhere in the sea, a Marine Battleship is sailing on the sea. This Battleship is the Battleship that Ross and Shiliew of the Rain robbed from the Marine Headquarters and Ross took the opportunity to take it directly across the Red Line to the New World. Then Ill go there and settle down first. Ross stood on the deck, looking at an island shadow at the end of the horizon and looking down at Log Pose on his wrist. Shiliew of the Rain stood beside him and saw the far island. In that case, will your men be able to catch up? Maybe Marine and the government will come sooner. Rest assured. Ross said plainly, Although they cant get in touch for the time being, they have my Vivre Card in their hands, and the news of our escape must have spread all over the world by now. Thats good. Shiliew of the Rain took out a box of matches, lighted a fire and lit a cigar and took a sip, and asked, What are you going to do next? I havent decided yet. Ross turned and paced to a chair on the deck and sat on it. After the addition of the Shiliew of the Rain, the Ghost Hand Pirates force has grown directly, but there is still a certain gap compared to the Yonk (Four Emperors) forces. Shiliew of the Rain has an advantage over people under Four Emperors, whether they are Three Disasters or General Stars, but apart from Shiliew, only Hajrudin can reach the level of Three Disasters or General Star, he lacks high-level people. He would be able to stop Yonk (Four Emperors), but Shiliew of the Rain and others cant beat Yonk (Four Emperors) subordinates. If he can recruit a third Disasters-level force in his regiment, even if they wont reach the level of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, they wont be far from it. Except for Whitebeard, they would be able to face any other Yonk (Four Emperors). After destroying the Marine Headquarters fortress and leaving the Marine Headquarters, Ross received an unexpected reward, 100 Talent Proficiency Points. Although he did not defeat any Admiral and did not defeat the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, destroying the Marine Headquarters seems to be an event recognized by the Talent System. 100 Talent Proficiency Points. Ross thought about it a little and put 20 points of proficiency to Distortion Fruit so that Distortion Fruits proficiency jumped over 700 points. After crossing the 700-point proficiency barrier, Rosss power of distortions did not show any dramatic increase. Since Distortion Fruits proficiency reached more than 600, the increase has not doubled as before but slowed down. From 500 points of proficiency to 600 points of proficiency, his power of distortion has increased by almost three times, but from 600 to 700, the improvement is less than doubled. However. Based on Rosss current strength, even if it is upgraded once, it is extremely terrifying, just like raising the envelope from five kilometers to six kilometers, compared with raising the envelope from one hundred meters to three hundred meters, even if the former only increases by 10%, it is several times more than the latter. For the remaining 80 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross hesitated for a moment and tried to fill in Agility Enhancement and perceived its own changes. Not surprisingly. In addition to the most direct increase in his speed, the improvement of agility also increases the speed of power of distortion cohesion and launch, and even the speed of Distortion space. Ross is now in a very strange field in terms of speed. Depending on the ability of Distortion Space, he can be faster than Kizaru under certain circumstances, but if its pure positive close combat, hes still slower than Garp and Kaido, who are at the peak of physical skills, let alone comparing with Kizaru. In addition. The launch of the Distortion space also takes time. Although his opponents did not grasp this point well in the confrontation with Kizaru, Sengoku, and others but this weakness will be grasped sooner rather then later if he continues to fight. Therefore, the speed of his body and the speed of the distortion space are still the most important to him. After perceiving the improvement of Agility Enhancement and the speed of the Distortion space, Ross slightly thought about the 80 Talent Proficiency Points to Agility Enhancement. Agility Enhancement: 380 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value) Spirit Heart: 0(Basic Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 200 (Maximum Value) Rock: 50 (Mid Level Strengthening) The Agility Enhancement reached 380 points and there was only a gap of 120 points from the Maximum Value. According to Rosss judgment, when his Agility Enhancement gets to the Maximum Value, his nerve reaction speed should exceed that of Kizarus and with the ability of Distortion space, his speed will completely exceed Kizaru. If the talent Rock is completely full and Armament Haki is also full, the Tenacious degree of his body will not be much different from Kaido, maybe there is a similar possibility. If the Distortion Fruit is full, even if Time Distortion is not activated, it will definitely surpass the peak of Whitebeards shock power in the pure power of distortion. His speed ?will ?surpass Kizaru, his power will surpass Whitebeard, His body will surpass Kaido, His Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki will reach the level of Future Prediction This will be his final form! Not far away. Shiliew of the Rain was standing on the outer edge of the deck and looking at the sea. A news bird suddenly flew over. Hey, the newspaper is coming. He grinned at the news bird with a cigar in his mouth, pulled a coin out of his pocket, popped it into the pocket around the news bird neck and took a newspaper in his hand. The news bird humanized a salute to Shiliew of the Rain, flapping its wings and flying away. Where did you steal the coin from? Ross put away the Talent System and looked down at Shiliew of the Rain. He had planned to mourn for the news bird but it seems that Shiliew of the Rain had no desire to kill anything but human beings. Shiliew of the Rain opened the newspaper and looked at it as he said, I found it in Battleship and grabbed a little Well, sure enough, the news of the destruction of Marine Headquarters cant be covered up. He grinned with pleasure. Destroying the Marine Headquarters Fortress! In a sense, this is even more of a big event than the invasion of the territory of the Yonk (Four Emperors), enough to make an uproar in the world. Although the destruction of the fortress was entirely a matter for Ross alone, he did not have any credit for him, but he had some light and was painted with a little ink on the report in this newspaper. His bounty directly reached Billion Berries. It can be said that his reputation has changed overnight, from being second to Magellan, he suddenly became a terrifying existence in the Grand Line Its no accident that his bounty is 1.7 billion Berries. Ross glanced at the newspaper in his hand and his face showed a hint of laughter. CHAPTER 226 GOVERNMENT’S ACTIONS Shiliew of the Rain continued to see the bottom of the page and saw the depiction of the so-called Fifth Emperor. He couldnt help but grin and said: Maybe the whole world has been turned upside down by now. Then, if you develop with peace of mind for a while, stabilize the position of the Fifth emperor. Im afraid it would be difficult to develop with peace. Ross shrugged, saw Shiliew of the Rains eyes, and said, I have killed one of Hundred Beast Kaidos men before, it wont be long before that fellow will come knocking on my door. Shiliew of the Rain: However, after witnessing the madness at the Marine Headquarters, he has adapted to Rosss behavior, Ross has the guts to destroy the Marine Fortress, Compared to that, Hundred Beast Kaido is not so terrible. As a top swordsman, despite choosing to follow Ross, Shiliew of the Rains goal is not reaching the level of just one of Four Emperors. At this level, people naturally look higher. Above Yonk (Four Emperors) is the King! Only by surpassing Yonk (Four Emperors) can you really reach the top of this Grand Line. No matter whether Ross and Kaido have a fight now or later, this confrontation is something that will definitely happen, its just a matter of time. Lets go. Ross took the newspaper from Shiliew of the Rain. After carefully reading it, he threw the newspaper aside and stood up, looking at the island that was approaching in the distance. Kch! He lifted his foot and gently stepped on it. The entire Battleship began to break down bit by bit from his position. Eventually, the entire Battleship was so broken and completely destroyed. Ross raised his hand and waved, the power of distortion sprung, sweeping the current below, charging the broken pieces of the battleship into the distance, and he glided with Shiliew of the Rain to the distant island. Soon. The two came to the shore of the island and boarded the island. This is a large island, and there is nothing on the edge, but the architecture inside the island is very prosperous, its either a country or one of the territories of a Yonk (Four Emperors). Ross and Shiliew of the Rain are not afraid of exposing themselves. If someone wants to catch them both, they would need at least three Admiral-level fighters. Obviously, three Admiral-level fighters cant be easily deployed. Besides, the Marine Headquarters is in a mess right now. Its necessary to urgently repair the Impel Down and the Marine Headquarters and they cant afford to deploy all of their top-level fighters. Wherever you go, the law of the jungle will never change. In the slum on the outskirts of the island, Ross and Shiliew of the Rain watched a shabby poor man surrounded by a group of people getting beaten and spitting blood on the ground. The group eventually left and the poor man who was beaten lay there, not knowing whether hes alive or not. Other people in the neighborhood did not know what the reason was and did not go to rescue him. So you have to be strong. Shiliew of the Rains gentle said and followed Ross through the street. Although the poor people on the street and the gang of former assailants failed to recognize Ross and Shiliew of the Rain immediately, they instinctively perceived that Ross and Shiliew of the Rain were not easy to mess with and they all gave a wide berth to let them pass, showing completely different attitudes. Yes, thats why we should be strong. Ross smiled faintly, he did not see the murderers or the poor, so he crossed the street with Shiliew of the Rain and disappeared at the end of the slum. After passing through the slums, what appeared in front was the gradually prosperous area. Ill get some money and change my clothes by the way. When he escaped from prison, Ross dressed in a few clothes that fitted him, but he still looked very different. He walked with Shiliew of the Rain and looked like a valet. Shiliew of the Rain didnt care about his clothes. When he was put into Eternal Hell, he was not changed into prison clothes. He was wearing his own clothes, and when he came out, he was still wearing his own clothes. Good. Shiliew nodded, approaching a restaurant. Ross walked down the street, glanced around, looking for someone who didnt look good, and then calmly educated him and took the tuition. After a while. Ross returned to the restaurant, completely replaced with his nondescript clothes, dressed in a very elaborate shirt and a dark trench coat. The Cursed Blade Murasame was wrapped in black strips and hung around his waist, hiding in the dark windbreaker. This blade was very uncomfortable to use at first, but after several days of training, it has been much easier to use. Oh, it looks much better. Shiliew of the Rain cut off a bloody cow and put it into his mouth. Ross ordered a nine-point steak and said, Never make me look like a follower Next, Ill stay in this island for a while, but I didnt realize that the world-famous Happy Street is right here. Ill look at it later. Now that Robin is not around, there isnt even a capable person who can collect and categorized intelligence. Oh, do you like that kind of place? Shiliew of the Rain said in a less enthusiastic way, Whats the meaning of that place? Its all about women who are powerless. Its better to look for places like arenas or something similar. ??? Ross looked at Shiliew of the Rain in a weird look. Shiliew of the Rain said strangely: Whats wrong? Is it anything I said? No, its nothing. Ross shook his head and said, Lets split up then. Happy Street. This is one of the most famous entertainment blocks in the world. The whole street is full of places like casinos and bars. Every now and then, a nobleman passes by with one or two beautiful women in his arms. If he remembers it correctly, the ruler here should be one of the secret undercover agents of the World Government subordinates CP0, Stussy, Queen of the Pleasure District. However. Killing a normal CP0 member will produce no rewards for him at all so Ross isnt interested in her at all. To come here is simply to enjoy and see if he can bump into luck and meet Fujitora again. If he can get Fujitora aboard, it will be much less difficult to fight against the Yonko(Four Emperors) pirate regiment. When Ross stepped into Happy Street, in a luxury building in the middle of Happy Street, a beautiful figure was standing at the window with Den Den Mushi in her hand. Ghost Hand Ross and Shiliew of the Rain are here, do you want to take action. They need to be dealt with in the long run. On the other side of Den Den Mushi came the voice of one of the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and he said in a low voice: But you can try it, any means can be done. Understand. Stussy nodded gently and hung up the Den Den Mushi. On the other side. One of the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) was sitting in his office of the highest level of the World Government. He thought that Ross was able to get out of Impel Down. He didnt expect his strength to increase to this level, he even destroyed the Marine Headquarters fortress. Although Rosss power is not enough to compete with Yonk (Four Emperors), whether its his current strength or his name at the sea, it is no exaggeration to call him the Fifth Emperor. This is the situation that Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) didnt want to see at first. Marin Fort and Impel Down are rebuilding. If we want to deal with Ghost Hand Ross and Shiliew, we have to mobilize at least two Battle forces above the Admiral level. Can we even do that right now, is it even appropriate? No matter whether we can or cant, we have to do this. A Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) squinted and said: Compared with Whitebear and Hundred Beast Kaido, Ghost Hand Ross pose a greater threat to us. They would rather let other Yonko(Four Emperor) exist than let Ross develop. Whether it is Whitebeard or Hundred Beast Kaido, they generally dont take the initiative to find trouble with the government, nor will they take the initiative to attack the Marines. But Ross is different. Whether it is the Dressrosa incident or the Impel Down escape or the attack on the Marine Headquarters, it proves that Ross is a threat to the government, both in strength and in thought! Ghost Hand Ross and Shiliew of the Rain will not be so easy to annihilate but they have provoked Hundred Beast Kaido before, and with Kaidos character, he will not let them go easily. If thats the case, maybe you can pass the message to Kaido. We cant put all of our hopes entirely on Kaido. We must also send troops out The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) talked to each other and eventually turned the plan into a single order and gave it out. CHAPTER 227 STUSSY Happy Street. Located in the central luxury hall, there are some high-end sofas, tables, and chairs, and at the forefront is a delicate stage. This is the most central place of Happy Street. Various beautiful women will take turns to perform on stage. If she is fancied by someone, she can be taken away after spending a sum of money. Naturally. This only happens within the Happy Street area. In a corner of the hall, Ross was sitting there in a very lazy position against the soft sofa, holding a glass of wine and looking at the dancers on the stage. I didnt expect you to come here, it was my mistake to not welcome you, Mr. Ross. In the rear, a beautiful woman wearing a white hat came slowly and sat opposite to Ross, smiling gently at Ross. Rosss eyes shifted from the dancer to her, and after only one look, he recognized the identity of the other party, Stussy West, Queen of the Happy Street. Naturally. This is only one of her identities, and the other is the member of Cipher Pole, the highest level of World Government intelligence. Apart from being powerful enough to protect Tenryubito, CP0s hidden members also involved in many roles in the dark Underground world and the organization itself is enormous. You know me? Ross took a sip of wine and asked plainly. Stussy smiled and said, I read about your deeds in the newspaper that I got a few hours ago. Nobody expected you to come out of Impel Down and do something so earth-shaking. Now Im afraid that even the Four Emperors will be shocked. Speaking of this, she paused a little, and smiled lightly: Right, forgot to introduce myself, I am the owner of Happy Street, you call me Stussy. That is really disrespectful, to call someones name directly like that. Ross had nothing to do at this point so he doesnt mind playing with the CP0 undercover agent to see what tricks she could make. Stussy grinned slightly and looked like Princess, she looked like an aristocrat whose identity as a hidden CP0 membership could not be seen from the surface alone. I cant afford the word disrespect. You are now the Fifth Emperor of the New World. It is my pleasure to be here. With a faint smile, she turned to the dancer on the stage and said, Ruth is one of our trump cards. How do you like her? How many points would you give her? Ross is also looking at the stage. The dancer had blonde hair, fair skin, like a fairy, wearing exquisite and bare clothes, covering only a few key parts, each of her action is fantastic. Well, 87 points. Ross looked at her for a while and replied without hesitation. Stussy smiled and said: Its Mr. Ross, who really has a good eye. Ruth only has 87 points. I dont know what kind of beautiful person can get the full score here for you. The remaining 13 points are not so easy to get. Ross glanced at Stussy with a slightly deeper look. Stussy felt vaguely what Ross was saying, but could not understand it. So she stopped talking and responded with a smile. After a while, she looked at the dancer on the stage, Ruth, and said: I didnt expect you to come today, I havent had time to arrange a special program, but the girls here are free for you. Oh? Ross looked over at Stussy and said, So, are you free? Stussy put her hand on her chin and said: I have a lot of young and beautiful girls here. You dont want to look at an old women. As she spoke, she noticed that Rosss glass was empty, and her eyes glittered slightly. She waved to the waiter not far away and signaled for a drink to come. Soon. Two glasses of fine wine were placed on the table. Heres my signature wine. Would you like to try it? Stussy took a glass from the table and took a sip, smiling at Ross. Ross lifted his glass, sniffed it under his nose, and nodded. Not bad But when Stussy thought that Ross was going to drink, Ross gently put the glass down and suddenly raised his hand and snatched the one in her hand. But still this wine glass looks better. Stussys face remained unchanged, and she said with a smile, You like it. Ross slowly lowered the glass and a bit of amusement flashed in his eyes, he leaned forward, pointed his finger at Stussys chin, and said, Its almost time for the little tricks to stop. Can you tell me what your CP0 will do next? Understanding the words, her ears violently trembled. Stussy reluctantly kept her town fixed, said: What are you talking about? CP0 is the governments intelligence agency. Although I have some intelligence channels, how can I know how they act? Really? Ross smiled and pushed his palms forward and pinched her tender neck. Stussy subconsciously wanted to resist, but her mind flashes, knowing that no matter whether her identity is really exposed or not, resistance is meaningless in front of existence like Ross. So she did not make any resistance. Madame Stussy! Stop it! What are you doing?! The people in the hall noticed the abnormalities on this side and instantly became confused. Ross pinched the jade-like neck of Stussy and his five fingers were lightly forced, he saw that she did not put up any resistance, only revealing an innocent and praying eye, he could not help but gently smile. If he hadnt known the plot, he would have wondered if his memory had gone wrong. So shes one of those who can remain patient, thats easy to do, lets see how long can you endure? Rosss thoughts moved and Haoshoku Haki swung open in an instant and there was a moment of silence in the hall. Whether it was the dancing ladies who tried to rush over with their weapons or the frightened aristocrats, they all acted in a moment and fell unconscious one after another. His fingers moved down Stussys neck, grabbed her collar, and suddenly pulled hard. Sneer! The white dress top instantly shattered. Huh Huh Please, please dont do that. Stussy gasped, her hands blocking her body, her eyes sparkled with fear, and she still looked like an ordinary person. Ross stood up, looked at her lightly, bypassed the coffee table and walked towards her. Sigh! Stussys dress was torn apart in an instant. She retreated timidly but never used Marines Rokushiki or any other power. Ross was not in a hurry, so he slowly went forward, watching her retreating steadily, and finally pressed her on the brilliant wall. CHAPTER 228 MEETING AGAIN Just when Ross was going to do something. Suddenly a shock came from the window on one side. A man in yellow leather appeared at the window. Instead of looking at Stussy, he stared at Ross in suspicion. Ghost Hand Ross? Werent you being held in Impel Down?! Wings Of Sky, Ficheux Erman! He met Ross once in the Sabaody Archipelago and later heard that Ross killed a tenryubito. He was amazed at Rosss boldness. Then came the Dressrosa incident and the news that Ross was defeated by Marine and imprisoned in Impel Down, Eternal Hell. Unexpectedly, nearly a year later, he met Ross in Happy Street! I was getting bored, so I came out. Ross turned his head and looked at the Ficheux Erman, who appeared in the window and faintly said: I havent seen you for a long time, but I didnt expect you to be here. There was a burst of Haoshoku Haki and I thought it was someone strong here, I didnt expect it to beIts amazing to be able to come out of Impel Down. Well, am I bothering you? No. Ross pushed his palm forward forcefully and the wall pressed by Stussy instantly showed dense cracks. Then the whole person ran through the wall and disappeared. Ficheux Erman frowned, and his mouth shook slightly. Its a merciless start. You really are a dangerous person. Ross shook his head. No, she would have probably caused some trouble for me down the line and she will attract the influence of the mysterious forces of the government, so it is almost here. Ficheux Erman: ??? Ross took back his fingers and turned to look at him. It seems that you didnt read todays newspaper, but it doesnt .matter I am missing a sniper on board. Here we go again Ficheux Erman rolled his eyes and said, Look at what youre doing, everything about you is so dangerous. If I get on your ship, wont I be chased and beaten by Marine Admiral every day? Ross smiled faintly. If youre talking about a team of Marine Admiral, thats about the same, but if its just a Marine Admiral who leads the team, I dont think hes going to chase after me. Well, your tone has certainly got bigger after escaping from Impel Down. Ficheux Ermans mouth twitched slightly and after looking at Ross, they moved almost at the same time. He made a sharp leap in the rear, crossed an arc and landed on the far roof, while Ross smashed through the window and ran after him. Seeing Ross coming after him, Ficheux Erman grounded his teeth and took out a handful of peanuts from his pocket and shot them at Ross. I remember that your bounty is one billion. I havent got such a high reward before. Its good. If you can win then Ill go with you on your ship. If you cant win then I will accept the reward of one billion. Good. Ross looked calmly and waved his hand. The peanuts that suddenly flew over were all fixed in the air. They turned into a whirlpool of Distortion and were finally kneaded into a ball. Seeing this scene, Ficheux Ermans eyebrows slightly wrinkled, he is vaguely aware that Rosss strength was much stronger than the last time he met him, with a serious look in his eyes, he took out a coin from his pocket. Destruction artillery! The coin was attached with Dark Armament Haki as it ejected toward Ross. At the moment of its pop-up, the coin accelerated wildly under the power of Speed Fruit and like a thunderbolt arc in the air, it broke through the speed of sound in an instant and headed for Ross. Bang! How can it be! Ficheux Erman looked at the scene in front of him, his pupils shrank sharply, and he couldnt help but make an incredible sound. In front of him, Ross was suspended in midair, his body motionless, he just extended his palm and caught his destruction artillery with his open palm! Good ability. After Ross commented, he pinched the coin and immediately attached it to the power of distortions. The air distorted around the coin as it rotated as if it was an invisible whirlpool. Sii! Ross tossed the coin back. Feeling the power of the blow, Ficheux Ermans face changed dramatically. He dared not give a second thought to it. His wrist shook and a golden gun was in his hand. Boom! He pulled the trigger at the incoming coin, and a bullet with golden light burst out, shooting precisely into the center of the coin. The bullet accelerated abruptly under Speed Fruit, wrapped in a strong impact force, crashed into the power of distortion, and eventually burst into the air with both bullets. Cant win Ficheux Ermans eyes showed a dignified look at the result of the collision. He had just basically done his best, while Ross looked understated, but the result of the confrontation was evenly divided. In other words, the current possibility of him winning over Ross is extremely low! It slipped away. Sensing that it was difficult to outdo Ross, Ficheux Erman was amazed at Rosss change in strength, and at the same time, he decisively inspired Speed Fruit. The whole person suddenly accelerated and disappeared into a shadow. However, just as he retired, Ross moved and stepped forward in Void. Buzz!! The strange power swayed and space was layered with Distortion. The whole person seemed to accelerate in time. In the blink of an eye, he jumped seven or eight times in a row. Ficheux Erman, who came to a faraway place, looked at Ross with amazement. After he took a step, he caught up with him and appeared on his side. Whiz! Ross sweeps at Ficheux Ermans leg. Ficheux Erman did not hesitate to avoid it and under Speed ??Fruit, his movements are still much faster than Ross. Ross stimulated the power of distortion, sweeping directly to the front. Boom! Although Ficheux Erman avoided the front leg sweep, he was still flying backward by the power of distortion, smashing three or four buildings in an instant, and smashing into the street. Cough! Cough! How could this be Ficheux Erman coughed violently and his mouth was filled with blood. He stood up with the rubble and looked at Ross floating in the air in the distance. He had some doubts about life. When he met Ross in the Sabaody Archipelago, he thought he had a sure chance of winning, but it was difficult to kill Ross and it was in the Sabaody Archipelago, so he gave up. But. In just one year, he met Ross again and he couldnt even beat him! No, its not that he cant fight, but that hes almost crushed. Unknowingly, theres already a huge gap of strength between Ross and him. It was at this time that a newspaper was blown by the wind and just fell in front of him. Glancing carelessly through the newspaper, his eyes were instantly fixed. Escaping from Impel Down! Destroying the Marine Fortress! New Worlds fifth emperor! The lines written in the newspaper made Ficheux Ermans heart vibrate and when he looked at Ross again, he had an incredible look on his face. CHAPTER 229 STATUS DISPUTE Ross did not attack again, looking down calmly at Wings Of Sky Ficheux Erman. In the Sabaody Archipelago, he did not really have a good chance to win against Ficheux Erman, but now he has overtaken Ficheux Erman in all aspects except for speed. Although his speed is a bit slower, it can also be compensated by other aspects. It is difficult for Fitchux Erman to escape from his hand when it is a one-on-one fight. Whiz! The confrontation between Ross and Ficheux Erman continued for a short time, but it was very big. It had already alarmed Shiliew of the Rain on another street, and he heard the news. Seeing Ross in the air and Ficheux Erman below, Shiliew of the Rain squinted slightly and said, Whos this guy? Shiliew of the Rain has some concerns about the various types of pirate prisoners, but he has little knowledge or interest in Pirate Hunter. But. Shiliew of the Rain doesnt know Ficheux Erman BUT Ficheux Erman has heard of Shiliew of the Rain, there are some descriptions of Shiliew of the Rain in the newspaper. Looking at Ross and Shiliew of the Rain, Ficheux Erman knew that he couldnt escape. He looked up at Ross and finally showed a bitter smile. You win. I am willing to join. If it was the former Ross, he would not easily bow his head even when facing the other side and Shiliew of the Rain, but now Ross is not like his old self. He escaped from Impel Down and created chaos in the Marine Headquarters and is regarded as the fifth emperor! As one of the emperors of the sea, in this situation, he can lay down his pride, because the other side is already above him in both strength and fame, besides, Shiliew of the Rain is also a follower of the other party. Welcome. Ross smiled and fell from the sky. Shiliew of the Rain pushed back his blade into its scabbard. He stared at Ficheux Erman with a little momentum. Ficheux Erman is willing to join Ross and is willing to become Rosss subordinates, but his attitude towards Shiliew of the Rain is different. In the face of Shiliew of the Rain, he is not afraid. You must be strong if you caused the Captain to invite you. Shiliew of the Rain does not hide his own intentions. In the pirate group, Rosss status is definitely unshakable, but the people under Ross are going to have a difference. Now that he has identified his position as No. 2 in the Ghost Hand Pirate Regiment, he naturally wants to establish his position in front of the newly joined Ficheux Erman. So do you. How about a contest sometime? Ficheux Erman narrowed his eyes and stared at Shiliew of the Rain. He said before that he joined the team after losing. He fled immediately after finding that he might not win. As a result, Ross cut him off. He was also a face-saving person. He had already made decisions and choices. But joining the Ghost Hand Pirates, he could not be the cadre at the end of the ranking, how to compete for the highest position under Ross, in addition to Ross, other people who also want him to obey, but it is not so easy. Okay, lets get out of here first. Ross doesnt mind Ficheux Erman fighting against Shiliew to determine their position, but this is not the place for two of them to fight and Ficheux Erman was hurt a little so its not fair. After Rosss voice fell, Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman both converged. Whether it is Shiliew of the Rain or Ficheux Erman, they all have to listen to Ross. The authority of the Captain is unquestionable. After a few hours of rest. Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman are still in conflict with each other. After all, it is necessary to use a Battle to determine the status of both sides. Ross did not forcefully stop it. Because this kind of thing prevents meaningless quarrels later, the three people came to the island on the east coast. With the strength of both of you, it may take serious injuries to distinguish the victory from the defeat. This is not the case at this time. Ross stopped and yelled at Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman. Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman looked at each other and they did not intend to fight for life, just to test who is strongest among them. Shiliew of the Rain murmured, Then use injury for the win or lose. Whoever gets hurt first loses. Ficheux Erman shook his head and said, No, its too hasty. Its better to base it on three times. Whoever has minor or major injuries three times loses. Yes. Shiliew of the Rain nodded. They retreated to stand face to face at a distance of ten meters, while Ross came to a reef and looked at the battlefield with his hands on his back. Start. As Rosss voice fell, Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman moved at the same time. Whiz! Shiliew of the Rain crossed a blood-red arc and the second generation demon blade in his hands cut across the battlefield instantaneously, directly spanning more than ten meters. Ficheux Erman evaded Shiliew in an instant, pulled out two golden guns and fired at Shiliew. Ding! Shiliew swung his sword and the bullet collided with the blade and was cut in half by his sword edge, but it also made his blade Buzz! Blood Cross Sword! The blade flips, sweeps, splits and cuts the bullet. At the same time, it triggers a cross stars bloody chop and sweeps toward Ficheux Erman. Ficheux Erman dodged. Shiliew of the Rain stepped out one step and followed him sharply, he swung his sword across and waved a hollow Blood Sword energy, Ficheux Erman leaned back and bent into a huge curve, avoiding Shiliew of the Rains chopping and pulling the trigger at him continuously. Snapshot! Bullets burst out of his gun chambers, carrying golden sparks, and attacked Shiliew of the Rain at the speed of breaking through the sound barrier. Each bullet was wrapped in a tremendous impact. One Sword Flow, snake belly sword! Shiliew of the Rains second-generation demon sword turned into a blood-stained shadow, sweeping in all directions, cutting the flying bullets and enveloped Ficheux Erman in the attack area. Ficheux Ermans body, under the influence of Speed Fruit, is like pressing the fast-forward button, twisting sideways and so on. Every action is fast and out of line. He has more than enough edge in his attack power like Shiliew of the Rain and he occasionally fires his gun to fight back. Snee! Ficheux Erman was the first to be injured after dozens of consecutive battles. His sideburns were brushed by a sword edge, which belonged to Shiliew of the Rain and could not be completely avoided. At the same time, however, a bullet grazed Shiliew of the Rains shoulder, leaving a scar on Shiliew of the Rains shoulder. Splitting! Shiliew of the Rains glare is cold, holding the second generation demon sword, he suddenly split out one after another blood-colored sword energy, like the wind Rainstorm generally that shrouded Ficheux Erman, trying to block all of his escape directions. Chapter 230 The Crew Gets Back Together Ficheux Erman twisted his body and kept dodging among the sword energy, but some At this point in the battle, both of them generally know each others strengths.of the blades of the sword energy attack were too strong to penetrate through the crack, so he fired a bullet, which instantly shattered the sword energy. Shiliew of the Rain keeps pushing forward, trying to fight Ficheux Erman in a close-range battle. As a swordsman, he is naturally strongest in close combat, while Ficheux Erman keeps his distance from Shiliew of the Rain as he is naturally good at long-range attacks. Zi Zi! From time to time, bullets and sword energy fly uncontrollably in the direction of Ross, but both bullets and sword energy slowed down sharply within three feet of Ross as if they were eroded by some force, one by one they are contained and eventually annihilated. Shiliew of the Rain is very close to Ficheux Erman in terms of strength. The difference between them is that one is a swordsman and the other is a gunner. The two continued to confront each other. Ficheux Erman took advantage of his Speed Fruits ability to kick Shiliew in the lower abdomen when he was close to him, but at the same time, he was also affected by Shiliews sword energy that left a bloodstain on his back. Both sides have been injured twice, and both their attack and defense have become extremely cautious. However. Even if their strength is closer to each other and they are more cautious, the passage of time will eventually be able to divide the winners and losers. Ficheux Erman was the first to be injured for the third time, and a blood mark was drawn on his temples. You win. Ficheux Erman stopped and muffled at Shiliew, not very happy with the results, but in a life and death battle, he was not sure who would win. It was hard to say who would live or die. Compromise. Shiliew returned the second generation demon sword into the scabbard at his waist after consolidating his position of the number two. His expression is much better than that of the Ficheux Erman. In any case, the battle between the two men had been done. After looking at each other, Ficheux Erman was a little dissatisfied, but he said nothing. They both turned to look at Ross. However. When they turned their heads, they found that Ross wasnt looking at them. Instead, he was standing on the huge reef, standing with his hands on his back and looking at the distant sea. Looking in the direction where Ross was looking, they saw a black shadow at the end of the sea. Looking closely, it was faintly recognizable that it was a ship. Are they your subordinates? Shiliew came over and asked. Ross didnt answer but continued to stare at the black shadow, until the shadow got closer and closer and it became clear and clear: Here they are. The ship was a huge ship and the entire hull was extremely large. It was not a large sailing ship, but a giant ship that Hajrudin and others took. For them to come here so quickly, it seems that Laffitte and others were in this sea area and after discovering that he has come out of Impel Down, they come all the way to here. Ficheux Erman also came over and stood on the other side of Ross. If Ross can stabilize his position as the Fifth Emperor, then the Ghost Hand Pirates will become one of the five emperor pirate group, this ship is the foundation of the future. Crack! As the ship approached the shore, a figure had already flashed towards the shore, wrapped in a thundering arc and it appeared almost instantaneously on the shore. Youre back. Hajrudin looked at Ross with a hint of excitement. He had planned to break into Impel Down to rescue Ross several times before, but he was stopped by Law and Laffitte, who calculated that he would have almost no chance of success. As a militant giant, he will not give up because of the extremely low success rate. He even nearly fell out with Laffitte, Trafalgar Law, and others and almost directly led other giants to charge into Impel Down. Well, I am back. Ross nodded back at Hajrudin. Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman looked at Hajrudin with a slightly surprising eye. From their perspective, it was easy to see that Hajrudin had the power to control thunder and lightning. A Giant ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit? Rosss ship is filled with Crouching Tigers and Hidden Dragon, just the Thunder Giant of Hajrudin. If they fight, they will not have absolute certainty to win. After all, Rumble-Rumble Fruit is one of the closest invincible fruits in the legend. Now. The ship gradually come ashore and the people on board began to jump one by one to the shore. Welcome back, Captain. Laffitte put his hand on his hat, took it down using his fingers and put in on his chest and welcomed Ross by bowing to him with a weird smile on his face. Trafalgar Law was carrying the demon sword on his back and did not speak, but he also had a cold and resolute smile on his face. Captain Ross! The giant ship doctor Gerth rushed over. She wanted to embrace Ross, but she couldnt do it because of her figure. So she grasped Ross in the palm with both hands. The five giants came ashore one after another. The last to come was Robin. Like Law, she hid her emotions best and one could hardly see her inner feelings. She walked over to Ross and came next to Ross. Gerth suppressed the emotions in her heart and put Ross down. She apologized: No Sorry, Captain, I was a little excited. Its Nothing, dont mind. Ross smiled at her, he may have to been seriously injured just now if he was an ordinary person, but he is not an ordinary person, even if Gerth uses all of her strength, she wouldnt be able to deal any damage to him. Rosss gaze swept through Laffitte and others, and finally fell to the nearest Robin and he looked at her for half a second before smiling. However. Just as Ross was walking towards Robin, Robins nose moved slightly, and her smiling expression fluctuated slightly, staring at Ross with a mirth of laughter. What did Captain do before? The smell of perfume is quite heavy. Rosss movements were slightly stiff, and he glared at Gerth. Without waiting for him to speak, Robin smiled and said: Gerth never used perfume. Laffitte and Law and others saw this scene, they all looked over and saw it as if they didnt see it, and Shiliew of the Rain ignored it and went to Laffitte and others. As for Figuex Erman, he blinked and thought of something, and a little smirk was present on his mouth. Dont mind the small details. Ross took his eyes back from Gerth and responded to Robin without changing his tone, and walked forward, passing by her side. As he walked past Robin, Ross used the ability of Distortion to send a message in her ear: Something small has happened. Ill talk to you in the evening. ?? Robins face remained unchanged, with a faint smile, and she did not respond until Ross walked past her. Ha ha. CHAPTER 231 PURSUIT OF MARINE Two new cadres will be added to the ship in the future. Ross saw everyones emotions calm down and came to the front of everyone. He said in a calm tone. First, he introduced Shiliew of the Rain and said, Combatant, Shiliew of the Rain. Another person who makes the Iron Wall of Impel Down together with Chief Magellan, he has long been famous, oh Laffitte picked his ceremonial hat and said to Shiliew of the Rain. Trafalgar Law stood there calmly. Robin stood quietly on the side of Rosss side and glanced at Shiliew, and she regained her gaze and did not speak. As for the giants, they all stood there and did not speak. Ross is their Captain, the decision was made by Captain. Even if he recruited a hundred people, they would not speak. So, please take care of it later. Shiliew of the Rain doesnt mind. Its impossible to integrate instantly into a new group that has already been formed. He doesnt mind if he does integrate or not. He only recognizes strength. After introducing Shiliew of the Rain, Ross pointed to the Facheux Erman not far away. Sniper, Ficheux Erman, Pirate Hunter ranked first, the Wings Of Sky, but from today on he is not Pirate Hunter, but the pirate that fell to the sewer. Ficheux Erman is speechless, his introduction is a little more than the introduction of Shiliew of the Rain, but what the hell is that? Just because I didnt join when I was first invited? After all, You still couldnt escape from Captains offer. Robin stood at Rosss side. She has been with Ross from the very beginning and she had met Fuceux Erman in the Sabaody Archipelago, but the Ghost Hand Pirates at that time was far from being comparable to the present. Ficheux Ermans strength was very threatening at that time to them. Ficheux Erman had no choice but to spread his hand and said: Who wouldve thought that your Captains strength would increase this much in such a short time, I can only join now that I have lost. Robin smiled. Navigator, Demon Sherrif Laffitte. After introducing Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman, Ross turned around and introduced the Ghost Hand Pirates cadres. Ship doctor, Surgeon of Death Trafalgar Law. Intelligence, Nico Robin, part-time Captain Secretary. For others, Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman looked at them and nodded slightly, It was slightly different for Robin, whose position on the ship was obviously very special. Ghost Hand Pirates, Giant Warrior Pirates Captain, The Thunder Giant Hajrudin. The Giant of sand, Road. Metal Giant, Stansen. The other two are the chef Goldberg and the ships doctor Gerth. Ross briefly introduced Hajrudin and others, but after he introduced them, he thought of something and asked Goldberg: Did you use the Barrier-Barrier Fruit? No. Goldberg shook his head, after the Dressrosa event, they got the Barrier-Barrier Fruit but because Ross was not there, the fruit was left unused and kept there. Ross thought a little. The Barrier-Barrier Fruit is a good fit for Gerth, but he preferred to find the Heal-Heal Fruit in the Tontatta Kingdom of Dressrosa, which was more in line with Gerths ship doctor status. If Trafalgar Law is the worlds top surgeon, then she can eat the Heal-Heal Fruit and become the top physician with the fruits ability. Even Fire Fist Ace, whose chest was penetrated, there was a possibility of treatment if a top internal and external surgeon was there. After thinking for a while. Ross took the Barrier-Barrier Fruit handed over by Laffitte and placed it in front of Goldberg. Use this fruit. You dont have to worry about kitchen utensils in the future. It is obviously just a joke to use the power of Barrier-Barrier Fruit to make kitchen utensils. The real power of this fruit is also very strong as it can almost ignore most types of attacks. A simple physical attack, that contained the power to destroy an entire town cant shake the barrier created by the Barrier-Barrier Fruit unless it has the special ability or Armament Haki attached to it to a certain extent, Only then can the barrier be destroyed and even then it would be quite difficult. After giving the Barrier-Barrier Fruit to Goldberg, Ross turned his head towards Shiliew of the Rain and said, If I remember correctly, you are not a Devil Fruit user. Do you have a specific type of Devil Fruit in your mind? Shiliew of the Rain grabbed his cigar and said, Not yet. As a top swordsman, he doesnt care much about Devil Fruit, but he doesnt directly say that he doesnt want to be a Devil Fruit user. Devil Fruits ability is so varied that he may have a favorite type in the future. After the introduction of each other is over, everyone returned to the ship. Chef Goldberg quickly brought out a portion of meat and wine and put it on the deck. The people sat down on the deck one by one. After Ross had a bowl of wine, all the people except Robin, who was sitting next to Ross, took up the bowl and poured it in one gulp. What happened during the time I was gone? Ross asked Laffitte and others, who seemed to be all right, but after he was imprisoned in the Eternal Hell, the government and Marine were sure to pursue Laffitte and Robin. Robin was eating and telling Ross what had happened during that time. It was roughly the CP0 of the government subordinates that were after them, but because Mjosgards heart was still in their hands, they dared not be too hard. They tried to divide the Ghost Hand Pirates, call Laffitte and others in the distance and then steal the heart, but Laffitte and others are smart people. It is clear that the intention of CP0 is not so small. As for the slightly dull giants, they are completely loyal to Ross. It is difficult to shake them. As for Marines. Also because of the heart of Mjosgard, they were just chasing after them for appearance and didnt dare to push too hard. Making use of Laws Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit capability to take Mjosgards heart seems to be the most correct decision now, otherwise, even if Laffitte and others have some strength and ingenuity, it would not have been easy for them to avoid CP0 assassination and Marines pursuit. When did you find me coming out and coming over here? After listening to Robins statement, Ross vaguely thought of something and asked. Robins eyes flickered slightly, and she said, When you came out of Impel Down and rushed into Marine Headquarters, we saw a change in the direction of Vivre Card, but we were not sure what was going on. We thought you were taken to Marine Headquarters for execution. And then? Ross ate a piece of meat and continued to ask. Robin stated: From the Vivre Card, we decided that you shouldnt be in a very dangerous situation, so we eventually rejected the possibility of you being sentenced and speculated that maybe you have broken out, so we drove the ship into the sea near Red Line. After that, the Vivre Cards direction changed again and we came here directly. Ross swallowed the meat, and his eyes flashed slightly. Theres no need to mention the Marine for the moment but the CP0 people have been following you for all this time to steal or take the heart back. That is to say, people with CP0 may have gathered on this island. As soon as she heard Ross, Robin immediately understood it and said with a serious look: But they didnt do it, obviously they didnt have enough power to deal with us, that is to say No need to guess. Laffitte got to the side of the ship, looking at the distant sea, interrupted the words of Robin, and turned and smiled: Marines are here. Not far on the sea. Five Marine Battleships are coming towards them! CHAPTER 232 DECISIVE BATTLE! Five large Battleships! As Battleship approached, two tall figures, one of them wearing a yellow striped shirt, were visible on the front deck of the two Battleship in the middle. As for the other one, he was wearing a dark red suit and white Marine Justice Cloak. It was Marine Headquarters Admiral Akainu! Marine Admiral Akainu. And Kizaru. The people on the ship stood up and looked far away at the five Battleships. Laffitte looked carefully with a telescope and found that Aokiji was not there. He turned to look at Ross and said: Aokiji is not there, are we leaving? Captain. Without Aokiji, it means that the sea will not be frozen, and the ship will not be restricted. Almost as soon as the five Battleships appeared and approached, on the far side of the coast, six figures emerged, all wearing white cloaks, which were the CP0s Chief and members! Two Marine Admiral, plus CP0 Chief, the government and Marines annihilation of the Ghost Hand Pirates, is clearly undiminished. CP0 Chief and there are two Admiral, they really did unleash a terrible force in order to deal with us. Law stood on the outer edge of the deck, carrying the demon blade on his shoulder. There was no overly worried expression on his face as he turned towards Ross. Todays Ghost-Hand Pirate regiment has the ability to retreat before such a lineup. However. Looking at the approaching Marine Battleship and the surroundings CP0 Chief and others, Ross stood there calmly, with no change in expression. If we ran away every time we meet an Admiral than how can we call ourself the Fifth Emperor and rule the New World! Rosss words swung calmly on the ship and changed the look on Laffitte and others faces. They were shocked at first than each of them showed a trace of bloody excitement. No one showed any fear. Yes. The days of running away after seeing a Marine Admiral have long since ended. Now the Ghost Hand Ross is the Fifth Emperor of the New World, and they are already the crew members of the Fifth Emperor. How can they retreat in front of a mere Admiral! Now that they have caught up with them, lets have a fight! Sure enough. Shiliew of the Rain holds a cigar and grins. He knows that with Rosss personality, its impossible for him to retreat directly from a Marine Admiral. Since being locked into Eternal Hell, Shiliew of the Rain has been trying to vent his anger and frustration, jailbreaking and destroying the Marine Fortress was although a lot comfortable, but it did not seriously scratched that particular itch. He was in a disadvantageous situation in Impel Down and later in the Marine Headquarters, the situation was not good from the start as there were just two of them, but now, all the crew has gathered, and now facing the Marines is completely different! War! Without Ficheux Erman, the situation on their side would be a little weaker, but with the addition of Ficheux Erman, the situation on their side would not be much worse than that on the other side. I knew it would be like this. Compared to Shiliew of the Rain, Ficheux Erman had some headaches and he put his hand on his forehead, revealing a bitter smile, but since Ross is going to fight, then he will fight with his Captain Against that Marine Admiral! Stansen grounded the ship completely on the beach. Everyone looked at the coming Battleship, and the CP0 members on the other side, all clasping their weapons or fists, and the mood and the emotions were generally surging, which were of the intense warfare and boiling blood. Finally. They have come to this point. They have become the Fifth Emperor of the New World and now they will defend their position! This time is the current crew, all of their fighting forces are gathered together, even in the face of CP0 Chief and two Marine Admiral, there is nothing to fear, the next big step is to fight! On the Battleship. Many Marines had been ready to intercept but they found that the Ghost Hand Pirate regiment did not mean to escape, but they put their ship ashore and stranded it, putting on a decisive position. Stupid. Akainu stood in front of a Battleship, his Marines cap was slightly lowered and he said in a slightly sneering voice, Did he really become this overconfident after coming out of Impel Down that he would confront us head-on, or is he betting that the Headquarters will not give them much trouble because of our shortage of hands, Is he really that much of an fool? Dont underestimate them, Sakazuki. Kizaru and Ross have fought against each other many times, he knew that Ross is not an idiot person and he must have a reason for doing this, so he warned Akainu. But. For Ross and Shiliew of the Rain alone, even with other crew members, wanting to deal with their joint action with the World Government secret agency CP0, it is indeed too arrogant. I wont let them escape. Akainu stood there, looking coldly at the coast, his right arm emitting a hot temperature, faintly turning into the bright red color of magma, which belonged to the power of a Marine Admiral so that all around Marine showed the color of awe. This time, the Ghost-Hand Pirate regiment will obviously not fight a fleeing battle, but they will confront them head-on, and the tactics and strategies formulated before will naturally change immediately. Report! The enemy has enters the shelling range! After judging the distance, a Marine soldier reported to Kizaru. At this moment, all the Marines on the Battleship could hardly suppress the tension in their hearts. Many people had sweat running on their foreheads. If they were facing an ordinary small pirate group, even without a Marine Admiral leading them like Kizaru and Akainu, they will not be too nervous. But. The group in front of them is already the almost recognized Fifth Emperor Of the New World, and not long ago, their captain broke into the Marine Headquarters and completely destroyed the Headquarters fortress! Most of the Marines on the Battleship have witnessed the scene of Ross destroying the Marine Fortress. Even with two Admirals with them, it is difficult to suppress the tension in their hearts. This will definitely be a hard battle! Looking at the current situation, it seems that the Marines are going against a Yonk (Four Emperors)! Full-scale shelling. Kizaru stood on the deck and ordered the shelling to start. The command went on instantaneously, and numerous Marines passed orders in succession. The sound of full-scale shelling echoed over five Battleships and various heavy cannons had been filled with cannonballs and set on fire. Bang! Bang! Bang! The heavy cannons on the large Battleship instantly ejected a huge cannonball and the cannonball slammed toward Ross and other people on the shoreline. This kind of giant cannon is far beyond that of ordinary portable artillery. Even if it is a strong one, Armament Haki will be able to sway in the explosion. Seeing that the dense first round of shelling is about to fall. Shiliew of the Rain reacted. Rain Falls! Almost instantly, he pulled his sword out of its sheath and a blood sword energy cut through the void and swept across the sky, going towards the giant cannonballs, all of them were fixed in mid-air. Half a second later, cracks began to appear on the cannonballs from the middle in front of many stunned Marines. After splitting into two, they exploded in the air. Impel Down City WardenShiliew of the Rain! In the smoke, I dont know who spoke in a slightly trembling tone, and countless Captain Marines forehead was dripping with sweat, showing a trace of fear. CHAPTER 233 GETS RID ONE AFTER ANOTHER He is already a traitor! Dont be afraid, we have the Marine Headquarters highest Battle force Admiral standing here with us, continue to fire, kill the Ghost Hand Pirates! Some of the Vice-Admiral and Rear Admiral, who can keep the things settled, immediately shouted at their subordinates after they have restrained the shock in their hearts, and instantly suppress the diffuse fear. Seeing the two Admiral Akainu and Kizaru standing in front of the Battleship, the numerous Marines swallowed and the fear in their eyes subsided. Yes, we have Admiral here! Dont be afraid of these pirates! Marine Lieutenants raised their swords and shouted and refilled the cannonballs, ready to launch the second round of volleys on the coastline. However. Almost at this moment, Shiliew, who blocked the Cannonballs, moved. With a sneer on his face, he jumped up into the air, and his sword attack fell on a Battleship. A group of garbage, die! Buzz!! The blood-red sword energy tore the sky apart and swept down toward the Battleship below. The length of the swords energy was more than hundreds of meters. At a glance, many Marines showed horror and fear. At this time, a golden light suddenly ushered in. I cant let you destroy a Battleship as soon as you come up. The golden light converged into Kizarus form, holding a brilliant cloud sword in his hand and sweeping it down, exploding Shiliew of the Rains bloody sword energy. Immediately afterward. Kizaru turned into a golden flash as he charged towards Shiliew in the air, he abruptly came in front of Shiliew and kicked him hard with a swing leg. Shiliew was prepared with his right leg was raised and Armament Haki was attached to it and the light speed kick from Kizaru was blocked, the momentum was surging. What is worth protecting a group of garbage, Kizaru. Its absolutely ruthless, Shiliew of the Rain. After joining the pirates, you immediately changed your methods to that of a pirate. Kizaru squinted at Shiliew of the Rain and said, Theres nothing I can do about it. I can only take you back as a prisoner and put you in Impel Down again. Bang! At the moment his voice fell, Kizarus foot and the part touched by Shiliew of the Rain blasted open, like a heavy artillery explosion, swaying a terrifying wave in the air. Shiliews withdrew from the aftermath. His face was cold, his body was bloody, and he faced Kizaru fearlessly with a sword. Ding-Ding Dong! So they fought in the air for a time. Blocking Admiral Kizaru, so thats the power of one of the Iron Walls of Impel Down Many Marine looked up at the fierce battle between Kizaru and Shiliew of the Rain and felt dry-mouthed. Even a few Headquarters Vice-Admiral looked shocked by the terrifying momentum. Artillery! Continue bombing! As Shiliew of the Rain confronted Kizaru, Marine Battleships second round of cannon fire began, not only from heavy cannons but also from small and medium cannons. For a time, the cannonballs seemed to be like Rainstorm, and they fell on the shoreline with a loud crack, as if they intend to break the entire coastline. At that moment, thunder exploded in the field. Thunders Net! Bang! The Marines saw the thunder interweaving convergence in the sky and in the blink of an eye, half of the sky seemed to be converted into a lightning arc. The intertwined Thunder wrapped all the cannonballs in it, letting all the cannonballs be in the air, and then one after another they burst apart. In the intertwined thunder, a giant covered in white thunder stood in the sky and the terrifying momentum shakes the whole audience for a moment. Thunder GiantHajrudin! There were Marine soldiers looking at the Thunder Giant, showing the hit of fear on their faces. Dressrosas War was broadcast all over the world. In addition to the most dazzling Ross, Thunder Giant Hajrudin was the most eye-catching one. Its thunderstorm force could be said to sweep the whole scene, almost no one could match it, and it exerts Rumble-Rumble Fruits invincible ability thoroughly and vividly. This power is actually obtained by a pirate. A headquarters Vice-Admiral on Battleship had a rather ugly face. He took a deep breath, held a long sword in his hand, jumped forward, and a sword fell on Hajrudin. Crack! Hajrudins huge thunderclap shook and an arc burst out and instantly collided with the sword energy produced by the Vice-Admiral, annihilating the sword energy in an instant. Then Hajrudin grasped the empty air in front of him and the thunder gathered in the sky and condensed into a white thunder axe. Then he disappeared from the sky. After a thunder arc flashed, he came directly to the front of the Headquarters Vice-Admiral and attacked him with his axe. Crash! The white axe blade is intertwined with thunder and it contains the power of destruction. The Headquarters Vice-Admirals face changed, although he is proficient in Observation Haki but it is too late for him to escape, he holds the sword in both his hands, using the Armament Haki to its maximum capacity. Bang! The thunder arc flashed and the Headquarters Vice-Admirals hair instantly became burnt, and the whole person flew back to the Battleship below, and fell to the deck, barely keeping steady. Hajrudins pupils glittered with thunder arcs and without any pause, he clasped the handle of the axe in both hands and slammed the axe down onto the Battleship, where the thunder poured down like a waterfall. Not good! Block It! The faces of three or four Headquarters Vice-Admiral on several Battleships changed, and they all rushed over. Their sword energy was intertwined in the field, and the power of several people was able to block Hajrudins blow. Todays Hajrudin has made the Rumble-Rumble Fruit powerful enough, and although his strength is not at the level of Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman, but hes not very far apart. His strength combined with thunder powers is terrifying! Up! A full three Headquarters Vice-Admiral surrounded Hajrudin and they did not dare to face him alone and joined forces. They fought with Hajrudin and caused the sky to shine with golden light and thunder to flash across it. After two rounds of volley, the Battleships are already very close to the coast. Ross and Akainu are far away, and both of them can almost see the expression on each others faces. Rosss expression was always calm as he stood with his hands on his back. The Marine Justice clock behind Akainu was constantly shaking in the sea breeze, and a repressed momentum spread across the field. Do it! Just as Ross and Akainu stood opposite each other, six members of CP0, located inside the coastline, flashed under the light, and suddenly charged into the coast at the orders of CP0 Chief. By this time the shelling was over, just as they were entering the battlefield. The six members of CP0 are CP0Chief, the newly promoted CP0Vice Chief, and one sub-Captain, three ordinary members. Their overall combat effectiveness is even stronger than that of the Donquixote Family. CHAPTER 234 BATTLE The most annoying mouse that is sneaking from behind, get out of here! Just as the CP0 people rushed over, a roar echoed on the field, and the terrifying sand waves swept up and overwhelmed toward the CP0 member. The giant of the sand, Road! Almost at the moment when the sand was diffuse, a silver shadow glittered into countless blades, crossing the sand and shooting at everyone in the CP0, wrapped in horrible sharpness and hardness. Metal Giant Stansen! The two giants came out one after another, slowing down the offensive of CP0 members in an instant. Two ordinary members and one sub-Captain were dragged by them. CP0 Chief did not want to entangle too much with the Sand Giant and Metal Giant. They knew the Ghost-Hand Pirate regiment very well. The two giants were extremely difficult to get past. They could not be killed in a short time, either in body or ability. Whats more. The purpose of the CP0 Chief is to recapture the heart of tenryubito Mjosgard. Just as they crossed the Metal Giant and the Sand Giant, a depressed roar suddenly reverberated on the battlefield, they looked up only to see the fourth giant Goldberg rushing towards them. Dont even think about getting past me! Kill him. The CP0 Vice Chief did not stop but opened his mouth and ordered the CP0 Vice Chief who was following him indifferently. The CP0 Vice Chief responded by calmly charging into Goldberg. According to their intelligence, only the three giants such as Hajrudin and Road are extremely difficult to deal with. The other two giants are just ordinary giants. Although they are much stronger than human beings, the CP0 members are not afraid of them, in front of their level of combat, they can defeat a giant in one stroke. Whiz! The CP0 Vice Chief jumped up and slammed his legs against Goldberg, slamming a hundred meters wide of Rankyaku (Tempest Kick), and then traversed it in a moment, going to the Goldberg. But almost immediately after the chop fell, Goldbergs enormous palm slammed in front of him, and a strange glass barrier suddenly appeared, blocking the tempest kick. Iron Wall GiantGoldberg! Zhe! The tempest kick of a hundred meters wide fell on the barrier and was completely erased, not even a trace could be found of it as it was stopped in an instant! What?! The CP0 Vice Chief was taken aback. He didnt expect Goldberg to have this kind of ability. He tried his best to kill the other party in an instant, but the result was that his attack was blocked by the other party! Goldberg sees that the attack of the CP0 Vice Chief cant hold against his own barrier, surging with warfare, he controlled the barrier to protect his body and rushed towards the other side. The barrier area that Barrier-Barrier Fruit can manufacture is limited, but this limitation will continue to increase its area as the ability of the devil fruit continues to develop. For the giants, after eating Barrier-Barrier Fruit, the base area of the barrier is enormous. After covering the body surface, it is like steel armor! Damn! CP0Vice Chief tried to break through Goldberg, but Goldberg was fearless after wearing a barrier armor, not only blocking him but also fighting other CP0 members. In desperation, the CP0 Vice Chief can only join forces with his subordinates to suppress the three giants and prevent the three giants from causing greater damage on the rest of the battlefield. CP0 Chief caught the rear situation of the Battle and his face under the mask was very indifferent and cold, he did not expect the Ghost Hand Pirates to have hidden this strength. But it is impossible to reverse this situation with this alone! There is Marine Admiral Akainu holding Ross on the front, no one behind Ross can stop him, Laffitte cant, Trafalgar Law cant. In front of his top fighting power, even if everyone joins hands, they will be killed. Standing on Battleship, Akainu, who had not yet done anything, saw CP0 Chiefs action, and his eyes flashed. His face raised slightly as he looked down at Ross. You escaped from prison carelessly, and did some damage in Headquarters while I was away, because of this, did you lose your eyes? Ghost Hand Ross. Akainu looked at Ross indifferently. If Ross and others chose to flee at the beginning, it would have been very difficult for them to fight any battle. But Ross chose the most foolish action that is to fight them. Now he is stuck in a stalemate. Even if he wants to flee, he will pay a price. But. Just as CP0 Chief was about to rush to the front, a helpless voice suddenly sounded. Youre CP0 Chief, I cant help it. Ill be your opponent for the time being, but dont put too much weight on it. Sneer! Along with the moment when the sound fell, a fierce sound broke through the air, and he saw something that he didnt recognize shot at him at a very fast speed. CP0Chiefs face changed slightly, subconsciously waving his arm to resist, using Armament Haki and Tekkai (Iron Body). Bang! A loud bang sounded. CP0 Chief was shocked by the strong impact and the whole man swayed back two steps. At this time, he also saw clearly what the thing that was shooting at him was, it was a coin! He looked up and looked forward, and the face hidden under the mask became very ugly as he stared at the figure appearing in front. Wings Of Sky, Ficheux Erman you actually joined the pirates! No way, I like to gamble and I lot a particular bet so I joined them, and being one of the crew members of a Yonk (Four Emperors) No, the Fifth Emperor did not seem like a demotion. Ficheux Erman pinched two coins and flipped them back and forth between his fingers. As the number one Pirate Hunter, the reputation of Ficheux Erman is not small in Marine and the government, CP0 Chief naturally recognizes him. On the field. Akainus face suddenly solidified in the moment Ficheux Erman appeared, while Ross, who had been calm, said in a slow way: If I remember it correctly, Doberman should be your subordinate, that is to say, everything about me, you should know the whole process clearly. While speaking, Ross looked up at Akainu and said with a dull look, Now, I want to ask if you have a little bit of Regret? Akainus fists were pinched tightly, showing a fiery red color. His whole face looked very depressed and gloomy, watching Ross, half of his arms gradually turned into magma. Now he hates to scold Doberman, but what he wants to do right now is to kill Ross with magma bank on the spot! By Now. Ghost Hand Pirates Laffitte, Law, and others also made all the moves. With Vice-Admirals, Rear Admirals and other captains and soldiers of Marine Headquarters and members of CP0, the war has broken out in an all-round way. Unknowingly, you have gained tremendous combat power, but even so, today, this place will be your burial ground! Akainu slowly said. Rosss side has more battle power in form of Fuceux Erman, which was beyond his expectations, but even then, this battle just turned from a one-sided battle to a fierce battle. As a Marine, it is absolutely impossible for him to back down in the face of pirates! Today it is necessary to defeat the Ghost Hand Pirate regiment! As his voice fell, Akainus eyes shone with cold light and the whole man jumped up, his arm turned into a huge magma fist that fell head-on towards Ross. The decisive battle broke out! CHAPTER 235 THE KEY TO VICTORY AND DEFEA Big fire! With Akainus punch, the magma surged into a huge magma fist, wrapped in horrifying temperature and momentum, and fell head-on to Ross. Many Marine, caught up in the fierce battle, felt a scorching heat sweeping the battlefield, and could not help looking sideways, with a look of surprise and awe in their eyes. Admiral Akainus power! Magma this is Admirals ability! Not everyone has seen Akainus attack and power. Some ordinary Marine soldiers feel awe in their hearts at the moment. Meanwhile, their spirit rises with Akainus attack. Bang! The magma fist suddenly fell. Ross stood there, his eyes were calm and his face remained unchanged. Faced with the magma fist that had dropped with terrible heat, Ross raised his right hand directly and put his hand on it. Buzz!! The Power of distortion suddenly broke out. Under Rosss power of distortion, Akainus magma fist begins at its top, assuming a Distortion shape, as if it had been inserted by something and churned into a whirlpool, and spread all the way. Feeling Rosss strong power, Akainus glare sank and with a low cry, the magma fruits power was once again stimulated, and the magma fist surged up, turning into a fiery hot magma and rushing towards Ross. Bang Long! The magma and the power of distortion collide in the air and just like an invisible wall of air traversing in the air. The magma rushes to the wall of the air and splashes around without going forward. Some of the nearby Marines were fleeing into the distance in horror. Finally. The flow of magma was rigidly contained in mid-air, and Ross only kept the position of the prospector from beginning to end, without any change. It is as if his body and the ordinary palm had stopped the magma in the sky, the scene is unbelievable. Akainu couldnt break through the blockade of Rosss power of distortion. His eyes were slightly sunken as his strength was restrained, he jumped backward, leaving behind a large swath of magma surging in Void. As just as Akainu retreated, Ross pressed his palm forward and folded his five fingers gently, grabbing them together in the middle. Crash!! Under the surge of the power of distortion, the magma that permeates the sky surges like a whirlpool. It is crudely compressed into a sphere of red magma with a radius of less than one meter. The sphere of magma is still flowing like a condensed spiral. After compressing the magma, Ross raised his hand and the ball of the magma was suddenly pushed forward by him, falling into the camp of thousands of Marines. Bad Terrible! It is the magma of Admiral Akainu, run! Countless Marine Captains fled frantically under the magma in horror. But. The moment the magma ball landed, the power of distortion disappeared from it and just like a bomb, the ball of magma burst open and turned into a mass of magma splashing around, sweeping the battlefield. This is Akainu looked at the scene with a gloomy face. He stopped the magma ball, but only two directions of magma were blocked. The Marine force in several other directions was devastated. He looked gloomy in the face, charges violently into Ross, and punched. Rosss face remained unchanged and his eyes were shining with cold light with his fist ready for attack. Bang! The magma and Distortion collided in the air and broke out with great momentum. The hot magma bursts everywhere and Akainus figure staggers back two steps, while Ross is steadily standing in place. Apparently Rosss current power of distortion has already surpassed Akainus magma frontal attack power! Boom! After Ross forced Akainu back, he followed him and punched Akainu in his waist side. Akainu slammed his elbow and collided with Rosss fist. Ross reached into his clothes and plucked it violently. The Cursed Blade Murasame was held in his hand, facing Akainu with a fierce chop. Crash! Akainu was instantly split in two by Cursed Blade Murasame. As a Marine Admiral, with his proficiency in Observation Haki, it is not difficult for him to detect attacks in advance and avoid them in advance. Zi Zi! The magma swelled on the ground, and the shape of Akainu suddenly appeared on the right side of Ross. His eyes were cold, and the magma hand-pulled fiercely toward Rosss face. Inugami Guren(Dog Biting Crimson Lotus)! The speed of the blow was very fast, but Rosss Observation Haki had already perceived it and he had crossed his sword in front of his body. Qiang! The magma hit the sword edge of the Cursed Blade Murasame, and it was splashed around in an instant. Ross held the handle of the Cursed Blade Murasame in both hands and swept forward. Buzz!! The Power of distortion hits the whole front area and Akainu, though elementarily avoiding Rosss sword edge, cant avoid a wide range of frontal attacks and is sent flying backward by the attack. Admiral Sakazuki! The Marine in the vicinity was shocked to see this scene. No matter how they look at it, Akainu is clearly falling on a disadvantage in front of Ross! This is the strength of the Ghost Hand Ross that destroyed the Headquarters Fortress! Now. Shiliew of the Rain and Kizarus confrontation is barely balanced, but as time goes on, Shiliew of the Rain is bound to gradually fall into a disadvantageous position. On the other side, CP0 Chief and Ficheux Erman are fighting hard, but like Shiliew of the Rain, once the battle prolongs, Ficheux Erman will gradually lose out to CP0 Chief. Ficheux Erman and Shiliew are still a little bit worse compared to the power of a real Marine Admiral, and thats where the balance of victory and defeat can be determined. Except that the battlefield of the two men was not optimistic. The other battlefields were fiercely fierce. Thunder Giant Hajrudin, who faced three Headquarters Vice-Admiral alone still had the upper hand and Rumble-Rumble Fruits power was fully exerted. Laffitte faces a Headquarters Vice-Admiral alone but also shows a state of ease. He has a great chance of winning as the battle continues. Also. Robin continued to strangle the ordinary Marine soldiers. Officers below the Captain level could not resist her wide-ranging attacks and were instantly killed in seconds. Trafalgar Laws strength has also grown and with several giants jointly attacking against CP0 Vice Chief and others, their battle is also extremely fierce and it will difficult to win in a short time. From the point of view of the situation, Ross has the upper hand, Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman are slightly inferior, others are in the middle of the fight. In other words. The final victory of Battle will be decided by six members, Ross, Shiliew of the Rain, Ficheux Erman and Marine Admiral Akainu Kizaru and CP0 Chief! If Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman cant resist the Admiral and CP0 first, it is their defeat, and if Ross is the first to defeat Akainu, it is the Win for Ghost Hand Pirates! The key to winning or losing. Its in Ross! CHAPTER 236 ROSS VS AKAINU Inugami Guren(Dog Biting Crimson Lotus)! After being pushed back by Ross, the magma quickly converged and formed a body. Akainu waved his hand before Ross rushed over, and the magma surge turned into a fierce wicked dog shape, spinning and swallowing up to Ross as a whole. Ross snorted and stepped forward without evasion. He swung the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand and the power of distortion surged out, splitting the magma in half in an instant. The residual power of distortions poured down and ran the rest of the magma on the ground, making a sizzling sound, unable to condense again. Whiz! Akainus eyes were cold and he clenched his fists and punched towards Ross violently. The magma suddenly turned into countless fists and poured down like the wind Rainstorm. Rosss thoughts moved and the power of distortion came out, the space layers in front of him folded and bent, and Akainus magma fists fell to both sides, without even touching him. Sneer! Ross held the sword in his right hand and stabbed forward. The Power of distortion surges above the sword edge, eventually turning into a glowing ball, bursting out from the tip of the sword and shooting directly at Akainu. Akainu saw that his attack was blocked by Rosss uncanny ability and his face changed slightly. Faced with Rosss attack, he retracted his arms and folded them in front of him. Bang! Glowing, the Distortion Void ball, the moment it touched Akainus arms, a terrible power of distortion erupts and sweeps away. Akainu muttered and the whole man instantly collapsed into magma that spread in every direction and for a time no human form. Bakuretsu Kazan(Exploding Volcano)! Akainu, scattered in all directions, did not panic but gave a violent roar. The scattered magma shone with terrible fluctuations and suddenly rose to the sky. During the overflowing magma surge, it seems to be a volcanic eruption scene, tilting down to Rosss head, to bury Ross under the magma! Distortion! Ross looked on indifferently and backhanded with a sword. Sneer! The horrible magma, under Rosss full-blown sword of Distortion, split instantly from the center and was stiffened by Rosss sword. After cutting off the magma, Ross stepped forward and directly appeared in front of Akainu and attacked him with his sword. Akainu was ready, pushing his hands forward, and the magma whistled as the whole man fell down. Since Ross has already demonstrated this ability many times before, it has already been logged into Marines intelligence data and Akainu has already seen the intelligence report about Ross in advance, knowing the various capabilities of Ross, and has been careful. Snee! Ross split the magma with his sword, while Akainu retreated ten meters away. With your current powers, it is impossible for you to easily defeat me who is a Logia user and you should be able to see that this battle wont last long for your teammates. Akainu stood there with a slightly raised face, clearly standing at the bottom, but he looked at Ross with a kind of overlooking eye. Really? Rosss face remained unchanged and in response, he swooped down towards Akainu. Distortion, light explosion! A brilliant ray of light was fired from the Cursed Blade Murasames edge and pierced Akainus eyes at the same time. Its useless! Akainu roared and half of his head turned directly into magma, unaffected by light. His Observation Haki sensed Rosss movements and punched him. Bang! Rosss blade split and the power of distortion collided with magma and eventually, the power of distortion gained the upper hand, pulling Akainu out again and leaving a bloodstain on Akainus shoulder. However, this blood mark was only a minor injury so Akainu didnt care. He snorted, waved his hand sharply, and hit Ross with another huge magma fist. Whiz! Ross stepped forward to the right and suddenly crossed the space and appeared to the left of Akainu. The Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand splitted towards Akainu. Akainus body was turned into magma and instantly condensed on the left side of Ross. When it was not yet completely formed, a magma fist had already come over. Rosss eyes were bright and indifferent, and his left hand was shaken into a fist. Bang! The two fists collided in the air and a huge momentum broke out. The waves surged in all directions. The magma continued to smash and splattered and Akainu was once again pushed back. Ross took advantage of the situation to move forward and did not use the distortion sonic boom. Since Akainu has been prepared for the optical attack maethod then he must be also ready for the sonic attack method. In front of the top powers, it is not so easy to create a chance to counter-attack by using the same strategy. Just like Whitebeard in the War of the best, if it had not been for his physical injury, he would not have exposed so many flaws, and his powers would have been even more terrifying. However. The Sonic explosion is a small tool that can not be used right now, but Ross has other positive explosive power, and even if this is known in advance, the enemy would still be unable to resist it and will be affected. HaoshokuHaki! Bang! As Ross stepped down, a horrible Haoshoku Haki skyrocketed and circled in all directions, sweeping the entire battlefield. Whitebeard didnt use Haoshoku Haki in the War of the Best because the Whitebeard Pirates had too many people and they were mingled with the Marines. Even with a top-notch control, it was impossible to distinguish between the enemy and the friends. But. Currently, Ghost Hand Pirates is a very small group of people, taking the elite route. For Ross, he has enough control to use Haoshoku Haki and avoid only a few people on his own side. Buzz!! Haoshoku Haki swept the entire battlefield and hundreds of Marine soldiers movements were fixed in an instant, their eyes turned white and they began to fall to the ground like dominoes. Even Marines Lieutenant officers were only able to stay awake, and the Vice-Admirals and the Rear Admirals were greatly affected and cold sweat ran down on their forehead. ThisHaoshoku Haki! The Marines who had not fallen to the ground watched the people around them fall down one after another and felt a tremor in their heart. They looked in Rosss direction and their eyes already showed a tinge of fear. Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman, who had fallen slightly in their battle, also stabilized the situation under the effects of Haoshoku Haki, allowing Kizaru and CP0 Chief to put their efforts into action at the moment. Akainu was the most affected. Akainu, standing in front of Ross, was the first to feel the effects of Haoshoku Haki at the moment of its outbreak. Even though he knew Ross had Haoshoku Haki and was on the alert in advance, he could not immunize the effects of Haoshoku on himself. In front of Haoshoku Haki, Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Armament Haki are almost restricted and influenced at the same time. Sneer! Rosss Haoshoku Haki shocked the audience and he attacked Akainu with his sword. Akainu was influenced by Haoshoku Haki, and he knew that the situation was not good. He did not hesitate to choose to avoid the coming attack. He would rather bear the aftershock of Ross power of distortion. However. The fall of Rosss sword did not inspire the effects that Akainu had imagination. Instead, it was a false trick to pick it up high and put it down gently. If his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki was not affected, he would not be deceived by this kind of trick. Under the influence of Haoshoku Haki, both the mind and the two-color Haki are affected at the same time, showing great flaws for a time! Whiz! At the next moment, Rosss figure flickered, catching up with Akainu in the retreat, he clenched his fist punched. Akainu can no longer avoid it. He was forced to raise his arms to stimulate magma surge while trying to rally Armament Haki as hard as he could to resist Rosss punch. But he was originally inferior to Ross in terms of power and now it is hard to resist. Bang! The punch fell and the magma splashed around. Akainu barely resisted for a second, and the whole person flew backward toward the rear. The power of distortion hit his body, causing him to spurt out blood from his mouth which was burned and evaporated by magma. Crash! He hit a reef on the coast, smashing it and splashing it. CHAPTER 237 COMPREHENSIVE SUPPRESSION Cough! Cough This is After breaking the reef, Akainu gathered his body again in a piece of magma. He had a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, his clothes were broken, and the whole person looked bad. Kizaru and others were also surprised to see Akainu injured. If the Battle between him and Ross stayed at a standstill, they had a good chance of winning, but if Akainu could not stop Ross, the situation would be quite different. It can be said. If Ross and Akainus Battle remained in a deadlocked to the end. The only one who would be able to stand from the Ghost Hand Pirates in the end would be Ross and they will have two Admirals and the CP0 Chief to face him as they would be able to beat Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman. But the Ghost Hand Pirates cannot afford the luxury of remaining in Deadlock in this Battle, no matter which side, it can not be so stagnant, especially Ross, to win this fight, he must beat Akainu as fast as possible! Whiz! After pushing Akainu, Ross barely stopped. He followed him with the Cursed Blade Murasame and continued to attack Akainu. With the previous blow, the balance between him and Akainu is completely skewed, but even so, the whole Battle end game is still unknown, because Akainu still has the power to fight, he is a Marine Admiral and also a Logia user, his endurance and Tenacious are very strong. Even if Whitebeard made a full-powered attack, he couldnt directly abolish Akainu. Blasting stars! While charging towards Akainu, Ross raises his foot and strikes the ground and the Gravity Distortion excites and covers a large area of the coastline. Almost instantly, the whole earth burst apart inch by inch, flying up to the sky with seawater and gravel, and wrapping Akainu in it. This What is this?! Run! Many Marines have also been shrouded in the attack, while fighting Akainu, Ross will not let go of this chance to kill a large number of Marines. Seawater and gravel sediments rushed to the sky, engulfing a large number of Marines. Dai Funka(Big/Great Eruption)! Akainu was also wrapped in one of the sand and gravel, and then there was a depressed cry from the sand. Bang! Magma burst out, shattering the sand and gravel apart and many Marines nearby were affected by the aftershocks. They were swallowed up by the magma almost instantaneously and they could not even scream before dying. It turns out that killing the Marines is also the justice of Marine. Ross spoke calmly and suddenly took a step forward. The Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand fell sharply, wrapped in the power of distortion space. Akainu was smashed by the blade and the dangerous situation triggered the unconscious elementalization transformation, Akainu fell down but the attack still left a terrible wound from the eyebrow to the chest. No. They sacrificed their lives to exterminate pirates! Akainu gloomy looked at Rosss face and did not waver at his words. He shouted angrily, raised his hands sharply and burst out with countless magma fists that shot at Ross. Akainus words changed the faces of some Marines nearby, but in front of the enemy on the battlefield, their brain had little time to think, they could only listen to Chiefs orders and continue to rush towards Law and others. Good reason, then, pleaseSacrifice yourself for the extermination of a pirate. Ross floated in midair, looking down at Akainu below, and raising his hand with cold eyes. A giant meteorite with a diameter of nearly 1000 meters, which has been composed of sand, rocks, and seawater, falls head-on to Akainu with Rosss command. Akainu sneered and said with a cold voice: I cant die halfway as a Marine Admiral unless trash like you are wiped out on the sea Dai Funka(Big/Great Eruption)! Bang! Akainu slammed into the sky, his arm turned into an unprecedented giant magma fist, crashing into the horrible meteorite. The terrifying collision sound shook the whole audience instantly, and the sea surged with violent waves. The island seemed to tremble for a moment and numerous Marines were unstable, and some were even directly wrapped up in the aftershocks, rolling without resistance. This huge blow brought the whole battlefield to a standstill for a moment, and Law and Robin and others had to retreat to resist the aftermath of the outbreak. Crash! The seawater on a giant meteorite nearly kilometers in diameter was eventually consumed by Akainus magma, and the sediment and rocks were swallowed up by magma, turning it into a terrifying magma ball. Watching Akainu block the terrifying meteorite and create such a terrifying magma ball, many Marines spirits were lifted in excitement. But. In the next moment, Ross, suspended in the air, splits his sword. Crash! Under the astounding eyes of countless people, the vast ball of magma was split into two halves by a sword. The aftermath of the power of distortion swelled down, and Akainus body instantly exploded. Although Ross didnt gather much strength in this attack, Akainu was at the end of his efforts to resist the meteorite. Even if he tried his best to stimulate Armament Haki to resist, he still couldnt stop it. Coughcough Once again, Akainus body gathered and this time his forehead was bloody, and there was bright red blood flowing from his mouth and nose. He coughed violently as if he had been seriously injured. Seeing this scene, Kizaru and others changed their faces and tried to rush to support Akainu, but were blocked by the sneering Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman. Whiz! Kizaru just shot a smashing laser and couldnt make it anymore. Ross raised his hand and grabbed it. The laser was pinched in his hand and condensed into a thumb-sized twilight ball, which he threw at Akainu. Bang Long! Akainu raised his hand and the magma splashed, blocking the golden laser. Ross continues to rush towards Akainu, who has been injured twice, although not to the extent of serious injuries but such injuries will gradually affect his performance. Bang! Bang! Bang! Faced with the injured Akainu, Ross holds the Cursed Blade Murasame and attacked him continuously with his sword and collides head-on with Akainu, never giving Akainu any chance to avoid him or his attacks. Akainus Kenbonshoku (Observation) is very strong, but Rosss Kenbonshoku (Observation) is also very strong, Akainus Armament Haki is tyrannical, and Rosss Armament Haki is not inferior to his! In the constant collision, Akainu was completely suppressed in the downwind and he could only continue to fight while retreating continuously and the magma continued to explode. How could this be. Admiral Akainu is Many Marines looked at this scene with fear in their eyes. This is not the kind of balance of power at the beginning of the fight, the means of each others confrontation, but now the Admiral is being completely suppressed by Ross! On the other two battlefields, Kizaru was leveled a little because of his support for Akainu, while CP0 Chief gained the upper hand, but it was only the upper hand. He was not as strong as Ross and the situation wasnt in his complete control. If it goes on like this, it will be bad. A Headquarters Vice-Admiral, who was entangled with Hajrudin, felt a chill in his heart. Even though Hajrudin was extremely difficult to deal with, he did not show any fear, but now his forehead was overflowing with sweat. If Akainu cant stop Ross, the result of this Battle will be their defeat! CHAPTER 238 ABSOLUTE DEFENSE! Akainu, who was getting beaten back and forth by Ross in the eyes of the public, was naturally very angry. His constant roaring and screaming stimulated the ability of magma fruits to its the limit, making the earth seem to be turned into rolling magma, but he was still unable to stop Rosss offensive. Every time Akainu tried to overload the outbreak and restore the situation, Ross relentlessly returned to the outbreak and knocked it back. Bang! Bang! A sword is shining, mixed with the power of distortion and the magma is being splashed everywhere. At the same time, the coastline is being torn apart and the sea waves are getting stacked. After dozens of fierce confrontations, Ross suddenly punched Akainus magma back and kicked it out and slammed his punch between Akainus chest and abdomen. Puff! Akainu spewed out blood, and the whole person flew backward. To withstand such a blow, even if his body is stronger than other people and even with his strong Armament Haki his element offsetting most of the damage, his viscera is still severely impacted, and it will be difficult for him to recover for a while. Yata no Kagami(Eight Span Mirror)! When he saw Akainu flying backward, Kizarus face changed, and after repelling Shiliew with a hard blow, a flash of light came from him as he came towards Ross. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick), Extreme! Almost immediately after the Kizaru attack fell, CP0 Chief suddenly roared and pushed Ficheux Erman back just for a moment and attacked Ross from behind. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick), Violence! As if they were of the same mind, when CP0 Chief attacked, the CP0 Vice Chief also made a concerted effort tt break through the giants blockade and hit Ross from his right side using Rankyaku (Tempest Kick),. At the same time, the various Headquarters Vice-Admiral in Marine, also forcibly supported Akainu by and used their own long-ranged attacks on Ross. Dai Funka(Big/Great Eruption)! At this moment, Akainu is also forced to cohere his body. In the mad roar, a terrible blow erupts. Half of his body seems to turn into a fierce magma beast. His black and red body emits palpitating heat and roars at Ross. In this short moment, the top combat powers on the field almost simultaneously launched a storm of attacks on Ross, and all attacks were concentrated on one point! Not good! Thats terrible. The faces of Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman and others have changed. Their strength is slightly inferior to that of Kizaru and CP0 Chief. It is too late for them to try to support Ross. They can only block Kizaru and CP0 Chief and ensure that they wont continue to issue a follow-up attack. As for everyone elses face changes, Trafalgar Law used ROOM, trying to transfer Ross out of danger, but because of the areas attack wrapped in the influence of tyrannical Armament Haki, coupled with the Distortion of Space, led to a situation where he wasnt able to transfer Ross. It is also very costly to make such a joint blow. One of the Headquarters Vice-Admiral was directly hit by the Thunder of Hajrudin and his body was blackened as he fell to the ground, and the advantage that Kizaru and CP0 Chief had in their battle before was also put into the water. But. This joint attack is also incredibly powerful, because this is a combination attack done by of many powerful people, even if it is not the strongest attack that they can do at their peak stat, but together, the momentum of this attack is more than any Admiral attack! Even if it doesnt kill Ross on the spot, he would be seriously injured and unable to fight any longer! As long as Ross is seriously injured, this Battle will be completely transformed into Marines victory. Even if Akainu cant take on the seriously injured Ross, he would be able to hold him in deadlock and depending upon Rosss injuries he may even be able to defeat him. That situation combined with other local advantages, everything will end. Bang Long! Under the indifferent gaze of Akainu and others, but with the change of Robins face color and the nervous and anxious gaze of Ghost Hand Pirates, the overwhelming attack finally converged at Rosss position and exploded. The attack performed by this group of people is so powerful that it is hard to imagine. The ray of light blasted, accompanied by the roar of the magma, the momentum of Rankyaku (Tempest Kick), and the attacks that the Headquarters Vice-Admiral desperately sent to rescue Akainu were all intertwined. The area was covered almost instantaneously and there was a blast that covered hundreds of meters area. The entire coast and the earth seemed to have collapsed. It was like an earthquake, and the island was also shuddering! Crash! The sea surged up into the sky, rolling and surging. Damn It! Captain Trafalgar Law, Robin, and others almost put down the fight in their hands and looked at the center of the lingering aftermath. Akainus half body recovered to its original state. He wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and looked at the center of the explosion with indifferent eyes. No one could resist such an attack. Even Hundred Beast Kaido would not remain intact after receiving such a strong attack. At most, he would recover quickly with his immortal body after being injured. The aftermath gradually dissipated. In that scene, a huge cave appeared in a regular circular shape, covering hundreds of meters of squares and the bottom of the cave was still vaguely flowing with magma. Is he dead? A Lieutenant Marine watched this scene and couldnt help mumbling. But almost in the next moment, their eyes were all stagnated, staring at the center of the pit, their faces frozen, gradually showing an almost unbelievable look. There. Ross was floating quietly in the middle of the sky, His eyes were calm with no change from their previous calmness and his expressions were the same, even his clothes did not have a trace of breakage. His figure looked like a phantom as if that attack just passed through his body without doing any damage to him! This is impossible! Akainus face changed dramatically as he watched such an unbelievable scene. He released his Observation Haki to perceive the situation and he perceives true flesh and blood. That is not a phantom, it is the body of Ross! The expressions on Kizaru and CP0 Chief faces are also changed dramatically, showing a shock, How is Ross able to remain unscathed by that attack? How did he do it? There was complete silence. Nothing is impossible, you dont know enough about my strength and by the time you understand my strength, everything will be over. Ross, holding the blood-red Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand, was suspended in the air, overlooking Akainu in the distance and saying calmly. At the moment when his voice fell, he stepped out, crossed the space abruptly, and came in front of Akainu. Resisting the joint efforts of all the people is naturally the ability of the Space Distortion. Since gaining the power of Space Distortion, Ross has used it for countless times. His mastery of this power has gradually become more sophisticated and he can even create an absolute field of space around him by distorting the space. This move is not invincible. But. Unless its an attack that breaks up space or an Armament Haki thats strong enough to destroy the power of distortion, or a space ability like piercing devil fruits, its impossible to shake the walls of this Distortion space. Any attack will be lost due to the spaces Distortion. This is a more perfect and powerful absolute defense than the Barrier-Barrier Fruit barrier! CHAPTER 239 TOTAL BOUNTY After blocking the sudden alliance of Akainu and others, Ross once again took a step out of Distortion space and came in front of Akainu, sweeping Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand. In the face of Rosss attack, although it is not clear how Ross blocked such an attack, Akainu forced his mind to restrain those thoughts and resist Rosss attack. But. His heart gradually sank to the bottom of the abyss. Such a combination attack did not hurt Ross and it failed to reverse the situation, the fight is still the same and nothing has changed, he is still in the same situation as he was before, unless Kizaru and others can beat Shiliew of the Rain and Fuceux Erman faster and came to help him against Ross. Sneer! Ross swung his sword and cut Akainu from his waist. Akainu elementalized himself in advance, and at the moment of his body was splitting, he waved toward Ross, and the magma surged rapidly, showing the head of the dog to Ross. Rosss left hand clenched into a fist and swayed. Bang! The fists intersected and Akainu froze for a second, and the whole person rolled backward. Ross stepped out and suddenly caught up with Akainu. The power of distortion continued to erupt, suppressing Akainus actions, slamming into him like a blasting hammer and slamming his entire body into the collapsed land. Kizarus face is already depressed and he flickers around, trying to join forces with Akainu to deal with Ross and Shiliew of the Rain, so as to fight them jointly and even join the CP0 Chief and win. Get out of here! Faced with the rushing Kizaru, Ross stared coldly and kicked out with a violent kick. Its the fourth time he had fought against Kizaru, and Ross is a little tired of the fight between them, the Glint-Glint Fruit user can no longer bring up any strong warfare. Boom! Kizaru collided with Rosss foot, and after a second of rigidity, the whole person still turned into a streamer and flew backward, unable to compete with Ross in the front. Shiliew of the Rains face is cold as he charges into Kizaru. As the person who is fighting against Kizaru, he had let Kizaru support Akainu several times now. This is a bit of embarrassment for his part. Although Kizarus fruit ability is too flexible and too difficult to deal with, he is also a top swordsman and the Number 2 character in Ghost Hand Pirates. Qiang! Shiliew of the Rain broke out with his strength, Kizaru resisted in a hurry, his forehead was swept by sword energy, and there was a bloodstain. The wrinkles on his face suddenly squeezed more. Youre not at all merciful to start with. Will you be merciful? Shiliew of the Rain snorted and continued to storm towards Kizaru. With Kizarus blockade, Akainu was once again alone and he was timely drilled out of from the Underground and to stabilize the situation, he attacked Ross with a torrent of magma. But. Even so, Ross hasnt been injured so far, but he has been injured several times in a row. After fighting Ross several times, he falls into a disadvantaged position. Dead! Rosss eyes were cold. Instead of giving Kizaru and others a chance to support him this time, his eyes flashed with a cold light. He shouldered Akainus magma fist and slapped his elbow on Akainus chest. Injury with injuries! Because Rosss defense is watertight, he has suffered no injuries so far, Akainu neglected Rosss fierce means, and now with these sudden encounters, it is too late to change tactics. Boom! His elbow wrapped in the power of distortion, Akainu flew out a hundred meters away, he felt his internal organs began to shift in his body and he almost spit out blood from his mouth, and the coughed out blood even contained the parts of his internal organs! Having withstood such a blow, he has been completely subdued! On the other side. Ross, who resisted Akainus magma fist, had no shoulder pierced by his attack because of his Armament Hakis defense, plus with his Rock and Maximum Value of Physical Enhancement, he only received severe burns and burns. But alarmingly, his apparently badly burned shoulder, his scorched skin, was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the flesh and new skin underneath were growing rapidly. It only took a few seconds. The large black skin has become a crusted dead skin, starting to peel off from the edge, revealing the fresh skin inside the white. This guys body Seeing this scene, Akainu gritted his teeth and his pupils contracted violently. Rosss body had such a terrifying recovery ability. How many methods is this guy hiding? This resilience, in his memory, seems to have been only possed by Hundred Beast Kaido, even Garp does not have such a strong self-healing ability. Sakazuki, its time to withdraw. Kizaru saw Akainu taking a heavy attack and finally completely lost the battle intent. If Akainu is finished, then it will be his turn. Although he has absolute confidence in his speed, Ross has a space-like ability, by which he can keep up with him and he does not want to be beaten by Ross. Akainu was full of unwillingness, but it was also clear that this battle is done. Completely defeated. At this moment, Marines morale has also dropped to an all-new low point. Even the Headquarters Vice-Admiral have almost lost their fighting spirit, not to mention the remaining Marines. Retreat! Following Kizarus orders, a Headquarters Vice-Admiral gritted his teeth and screamed out for a retreat. The siege and suppression done by Marines were defeated by the pirates and they were forced to retreat, which is undoubtedly a great shame for Marines. The only thing better is that there are Kizaru and Akainu on it, so the blame will not fall upon the head of Vice Admirals. Basterds CP0 Chief saw that Marine chose to retreat, and he couldnt help but grit his teeth. There was a reluctant look in his eyes, but there was no way. Marine chose to retreat, and he had to go, and he had to help Marine retreat. Otherwise, no matter which side Ross pursued, there would be heavy casualties on either side. Yata no Kagami(Eight Span Mirror)! Kizaru began to release a wide range of attacks, covering the Marine retreat. Ross continued to storm towards Akainu, trying to kill Akainu on the spot. CP0 Vice Chief got rid of the giants and rushed to support them and Akainu teamed up with them and fought back. Finally. The five battleships were destroyed and the last one was in tattered condition. Kizaru and others helped each other and reluctantly evacuated to the remaining Battleship to cover the evacuation of Battleship. At this point, Marines are completely defeated! Two Admiral, plus CP0 Chief, laid a joint attack on the Ghost Hand Pirates and failed! On the sea. Ross continues to pursue and seemingly never stooping. When Battleship sailed hundreds of meters away on the distance sea under the power of CP0 Chief and others, Ross heard a sound in his ear as he was trying to chase them on the sea. Marine Headquarters, World Government, joint operations led by Admiral and CP0 Chief have been defeated, awarding 140 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Points. When he heard this sound, Rosss action paused. Stepping on Gepp (Moonwalk) and following Shiliew of the Rain, Ross stopped and squinted at the Battleship in the distance: Do we still pursue? Forget it. Looking at Battleship, which has sailed too far, Ross shook his head. Only he and Shiliew of the Rain could chase them across the sea. Even with Akainu being seriously injured, they had no advantage. Shiliew nodded and followed Ross to return to the coast, he actually consumed a lot of stamina, and he was also subjected to a laser by Kizaru. The wound was not serious, but it also affected his battle state. On the shore. Road, the giant sand and others who could not chase the Marines across the sea, stood at the shore and watched from afar. They saw the Marines fighting and fleeing farther and farther, Ross and Shiliew of the Rain finally returned, and their tense spirit finally relaxed. Each of their figures seems a bit beaten up, many people have some small injuries, including Ross, but no serious injuries. Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke. Rosss gaze gradually swept away from Shiliew of the Rain and others, and finally, a smile appeared on his face, dispelling all the depression under the sunlight. What Ha ha ha ha I dont know who did it first, but everyone followed him by laughing, laughter echoing across the coast, so many aborigines people on the island looked at this way showing awe and admiration. Although many people did not watch the complete fight scene but they saw the second half of the Battle, they saw Ross taking on the joint attacks of the Marines without being injured, they saw Ross pounding Akainu on the ground, they saw the Marines retreating in front of Ghost Hand Pirates. Destroying the terrifying powerhouses of Marine Headquarters This news is rare and not exaggerated. Even Marine Admiral was defeated by them. Its unbelievable. This is the Ghost Hand Pirates the Emperor of the New World, the Fifth Emperor! The people muttered in awe, looking at the people on the shore who were laughing. A few days later. As a result of the battle on the Island, the news spread throughout the world. Even if the government and Marine tried their best to cover up with words to safeguard the dignity of Marine and the government, they could not hide the fact that the encirclement and suppression campaign had completely failed. The siege and suppression of Marine Admirals were defeated! If the former Ghost Hand Ross and Ghost Hand Pirate Regiment were only known as the Fifth Emperor of the New World and they did not enough power to safeguard that name. Then after this battle, in the eyes of countless people, they are almost equal to the position of New Worlds Fifth Emperor, standing at the top of countless pirates! Subsequently. Ghost Hand Pirates new bounties are also spread to the world. Captain Ghost Hand Ross, Bounty of 1.7 Billion Berries! The Killer Shiliew of the Rain, Bounty of 1.1 billion Berries! Wings Of Sky FicheuxErman, Bounty of 1 Billion Berries! Demon Sherrif Laffitte, Bounty of 380 Million Berries! Surgeon of Death Trafalgar Law, Bounty of 270 million Berries! Devil Child Nico Robin, Bounty of 200 million Berries! Also. The giant regiment, which was previously incomplete with bounty, was also released with new complete bounties. Thunder Giant Hajrudins bounty reached 530 million Berries, Sand Giant got 300 million Berries, Metal Giant Stansen received 250 million Berries, Iron Wall Giant Goldberg got 220 million Berries, and the last Gerth received a 50 million Berries bounties. The total bounty of the Giant Regiment has reached 1.36 billion Berries, and the total bounty of Ghost Hand Pirates is more than 6 billion! Maybe there is a slight lack of power distribution and their sphere of influence, but overall, there is nothing missing. Someone looked at the Ghost Hand Piratess bounty posters on the table and snorted, and took a deep breath to make a final conclusion. It is enough for them to be tied with the four other! CHAPTER 240 KAIDO’S ACTIONS Marine Headquarters. In a temporary room. Doberman just received a real-time report from the front line and then returned to his room. At this moment, he sat there, without a word, and the whole room was silent. Kizaru and Akainu joined forces with CP0 and carried out a comprehensive encirclement of the Ghost Hand Pirates. And even with that kind of line up, they failed, and this time the other party didnt flee. It is a complete defeat of the Marines and the governments joint army! The Ghost Hand Pirates has grown from a small pirate group to the Fifth Emperor who can stand firm in New World! Dobermans hands were shaking. His hands were on the table, his fists clenched tightly and because of that, his hands trembled slightly. If he had not been injured in the previous battle, he would surely have gone to the front line in this campaign of encirclement and suppression. Such campaigns of encirclement and suppression has failed Even two Admirals joining forces with CP0 Chief and their members failed, so how can they get the Ghost Hand Pirates now? Assigning the three Admiral to chase them is almost impossible as Fleet Admiral Sengoku cant afford the responsibility if something unexpected happens. Marine cant go out to deal with a Yonk (Four Emperors), and its equally impossible to send a huge force to New World to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates because the uncertainty is too great. Doberman clenched his fists. Suddenly. He thought that this is not desperate. New World has Yonk (Four Emperors) in addition to the Ghost Hand Pirates! Yes, there is Yonk (Four Emperors), the guy who has provoked Hundred Beast Kaido, and Kaido will find him sooner or later. At that time, there is a chance to kill the Ghost Hand Pirates Doberman looked up suddenly, his eyes shining again. Impel Down has a lot of big named pirates that are being held in because of this reason. Because they overdraft their stamina in their fight and then they are taken by Marines. Marines dont care about the process, they only care about the result. If the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Beast Pirates fought than Marines only needs to send an Admiral out to observe, there is a great chance to become a fisherman and capture Ross who will be weaker after his fight. It doesnt matter if Kaido has an immortal body and they cant kill him or imprison him, but its enough if he can exterminate Ross and the Ghost Hand Pirate regiment. Hu. Doberman took a deep breath and relaxed his fists slightly. He regained his calm, with a cold shimmer in his eyes. At this time, a Marine Captain suddenly came in from the outside. Reporting. Vice Admiral Doberman, this is a document sent to you by Dr. Vegapunk of the Science Force The Marine Captain came in and handed over a sealed document to Doberman. Vegapunk? Doberman narrowed his eyes slightly and motioned the Captain to retreat. He slowly tore open the envelope and took out the document from it, he looked at it carefully and his expression immediately became cloudy and uncertain. New World. Somewhere on the snow-capped island, there is a hole. Hundred Beast Kaido sat cross-legged, with two long black beards fluttering and shaking, and in front of him was a set of bounty posters, the top of which was a bounty of 1.7 billion Berries, which was Rosss bounty poster! Kaido touched the back of his head. Very capable, that kid Marines caught him and he just came out, he destroyed the Marine Headquarters and fought with Marines again. Marines arent really getting any better at all. Hearing the low and dissatisfied voice of Kaido, the subordinates of some of the Beast Pirates next to him glanced at each other and swallowed their saliva. Someone took out Rosss bounty order, saying: But Kaido Sama, we cant underestimate this Ghost Hand Ross, destroying the Marine Fortress in front of the Fleet Admiral and leading the Ghost Hand Pirates to win against Marine Admirals Huh? Kaidos drooping eyelids suddenly opened and stared at the pirate who spoke. Suddenly. Kaido stood up, his huge body standing in the cave, and a terrible momentum exploded in the cave, causing everyone around him to sit on the ground in horror. Underestimate him So what?! Kaidos voice exploded here like thunder, making peoples eardrum Buzz! Who do you think I am! Did you ask me if I agree or not before you become an Emperor in the New World?! The voice dropped. Kaido picked up the wine gourd and poured it into his mouth. He said in a cool voice after drinking, Go, call Jack and others back, we are going to teach a kid that he cant be an Emperor in the New World! At sea. The Giant Pirate Ship of the giant family is sailing on the sea. After the battle with Marine and the defeat of the Marines, the people took a little rest on the island, loaded and unloaded some food and fresh water, then boarded the ship and left the island and sailed the New World. Whoop, the wind has changed. On the deck, Laffitte was measuring the wind direction and current. After noticing the change of the wind direction, he turned his mahogany stick and shouted at the rear: Put up the side sail and get wind in the west! As Laffittes voice fell, a bunch of strange-looking toys rushed out, unfastened the rope of the sail, and began to hang the sail according to Laffittes instructions. These toys naturally come from sugar. After catching the sugar from Dressrosa, she has been detained on the ship. These toys were attacked by Ghost Hand Pirates. After being caught by Laffitte and others, they changed sugar into toys to act as free handyman and sailor on the boat. In the presence of Laffitte and Law and so many terrifying people, how dare sugar not obey. One of them is plain weird, the other wants to slice her up for research, and even give her biochemical modification. Naturally. Because Ross mentioned the usefulness of sugars ability, Laffitte and others are just making the best use of it. In addition to intimidating her and using her abilities, she is locked in a separate small room. Ghost Ghost Hand In the sugar room, Ross did not know when to go in, but in the room, Sugar was shrinking in the corner of the bed, pulling the quilt, and looking at Ross while trembling. For her, Ross can be described as the most terrible existence in the Ghost Hand Pirates. Doflamingo was defeated by Ross, not to mention, he escaped from the Impel Down, destroyed the Marine Headquarters, and defeated Marine Admiral! Call me Captain. Ross calmly opened his mouth and stared at Sugar, and thought thoughtfully. Sugars ability is very useful, but it also has a corresponding danger. After all, one will become a toy when they are touched and will be forgotten by others. This is a very terrifying ability. However. It was precisely because this ability was too dangerous that Laffitte hypnotized Sugar so that she dared not walk out of the small room or disobey the people on board. Ship, Captain Sugar huddled there in fear, trembling, wondering what Ross was going to do with her. CHAPTER 241 BRACELE She had previously learned from Laffitte and others that Ross had ordered her not to be killed and they kept her on board, but then Ross went into the Impel Down, and this matter had no further context and they did not know how to deal with her, so Laffitte and others put her under house arrest. And now. Ross is back. How would he deal with her, or how would the fate play her, they are all tied to Ross. If he thinks she is too dangerous, he is likely to handle her in one sentence. It is also possible for him to throw her to Trafalgar Law for some terrifying transformation tests. In short, Sugars heart is filled with fear at any point. Your abilities are a little too dangerous, and you used to be a DoflamingoFamily member. If you dont obey Well, it would be a pity to kill you. Ross put his hand on his chin and thought. In fact, he has many ways, whether it is Laffittes deep hypnosis, or after Law has mastered the soul exchange surgery, where he would be directly able to exchange Sugars soul for a reliable person and there would be no problem. No, dont kill me Sugar was scared by Rosss out loud thoughts, and she looked like she was about to cry and said with fear in her voice, I will be very obedient! Although Laffitte and others did not intentionally frighten and torture her during the period on board, they made her timider, and at the moment it seemed that she was going to be scared unconscious. Ross stared at her calmly for a moment and said, Theres only one way to live. Thats obedience. If you start with the crew and behave well, you may be promoted to a cadre in the future. um! Sugar nodded. After eating Hobi Hobi no Mi, in addition to the body being fixed at the same age and no longer growing up, the mind is also become fixed at this age in some aspects, which may be the side effect of Hobi Hobi no Mi. Then, you can move freely on board, but you must wear this glove. Ross nodded and took out a very thin glove from his pocket, the end of which was connected with two metallic colored rings. Thats the characteristic Seastone explosion wristband. With his current level of Observation Haki, hes not afraid of other people to sneak attacks even when he is sleeping, he can remain vigilant and he is not worried about whatever tricks Sugar has up her slives, but other people are different, in the event that Sugar turned someone into a toy, they will all suddenly lose their memories of that person and it will be very troublesome. Its ugly. Sugar looked at the pair of gloves and couldnt help but say but as soon as she looked at Rosss eyes, she became so scared that she quickly took the gloves and put them on. The slightly delicate Seastone explosive wristband fits perfectly on her slender wrist and cannot be pulled directly off the front of her palm. When the Seastone wristband was placed on the wrist, her body suddenly became a little soft, but still kept normal. It seems that there is no problem. Ross used Observation Haki to capture the action of the toys outside and noticed that the toys did not show signs of turning back to human beings, so he slightly nodded. Seastones limitations on the human body vary from person to person. This Seastone wristband is a small-scale trait that can limit Sugars hands without making her powers totally ineffective. Sugar wearing a pair of small gloves sprouted a lot more than before, and Ross thought it should be Misconception after her `danger had been eliminated. Seastone Sugar senses the changes and knows that the wristband is Seastone, but the wristband is idiosyncratic, and it takes a lot of effort to take it off after wearing it. And after she put it on, she didnt have the strength to take it out. This wristband should not be taken down casually, and dont let your toys take it out for you. If you take it, it will be like this. Ross took a slightly larger wristband from his pocket, and when he closed it again, the entire wristband exploded and it was filled with smoke. Ah-ah! Sugar was shocked, her eyes shone with terror, and she looked at Ross with a look that said he was a devil. Rosss eyes flashed with a glimmer of satisfaction and he turned to walk outside the door, saying: Come on, follow me out. Sugar looked at the wristband she was wearing, muttered twice, and finally sighed and went out honestly. Devil! Making this kind of thing! They are all bad guys, go and die, die, die! Go to hell! She kept cursing in her heart, but there was nothing she could do about it. The wristband was set up just right, so she couldnt resist at all. Its impossible to stealthily turn anyone into a toy, she can only obey orders honestly. In the hall. Because this is a giant ship, the hall is huge. Several giants and Trafalgar Law, Nico Robin, and others are gathered in the hall. Captain has been in for a long time, he wont be turned into a toy, would he? Goldberg, who knew Sugars ability, scratched his scalp and showed a worried expression. Gerth knocked on Goldbergs head and said, Do you think Captain will be as stupid as you?! Ficheux Erman leaned on the corner of the huge sofa and smiled and said: If he becomes a toy, we would have lost our memory of him. Now you should worry about how Captain would torture the child. Maybe she would be thrown out? To correct you, shes not a child. Shes not much younger than you. Law sat on the other side, carrying the devil blade in his arms, and opened his mouth to Ficheux Erman. Oh, I forgot. Ficheux Erman tapped his forehead. Robin sat on the shoulder of Gerth, the giant ship doctor, tilting her head slightly. But anyway, shes still a child physically. Hmmoh As soon as this sentence came out, Ficheux Erman and others suddenly felt a little weird and the conversation seemed to be offset in a strange direction. Just then Laffitte came in from outside and said, The wind is all right, and the toys havent changed back. It seems that the wristband experiment was successful. How could it fail? Trafalgar Law spoke in silence. The wristband was made by him and Laffitte, using his abilities to cooperate with Laffittes fantastic ideas and techniques. The inside is Seastone, and the outside is an explosive core similar to a slave collar, but the weight has been reduced a lot, the power has also been reduced a lot, focusing more on the limitations of Seastone. The first one was the slightly larger wristband that Ross blew up. At that time, he, Robin and Laffitte all put on their experiments to make accurate measurements. Whoop, anyway, that ability is too dangerous. If she is allowed to move freely onboard the ship, no one can rest assured without this special prop. Laffitte laugh. CHAPTER 242 WHICH OF THE FOUR… Just as everyone gathered in the hall, Ross walked out of the inner cabin. Behind Ross, Sugar, wearing a compact glove and wristband, came out with her head drooping, looking weak. Whats the matter? Is Seastones weight too big? Robin couldnt help but ask as she saw the pitiful look of Sugar. Ross reached for Sugars hair and said, No, it shouldnt be Seastones problem. Come on, laugh! Ross told Sugar as he talked to Robin. !!! Sugar was inspired in an instant, and the whole person became much more energetic. Robin: She eventually came over with black lines on her head and took Sugar away from Ross. In fact, Sugar was able to remain safe on the ship because she protected her from time to time. Other things aside, Sugar on the outside is just a little girl, but because of Hobi Hobi no Mis ability, Robin hasnt been in much contact with her. Now she wears a safe wristband, and all her worries and precautions can be put down. Hey. Sugar was picked up by Robin, her eyes widened and she immediately becomes spoiled. Robin liked her like this and could not help but smile and touch her head: Since youve been brought out by Captain, youre now the crew member of this ship. Dont be afraid. Ross: Looking at Robin in silence, Ross asked, Is it too late for me to shut her back now? Robin stared at Ross with a smile and shook her head. Yes. Click! Now Robin is against him?! Rosss eyes were slightly wide and he glanced at Sugar. As a result, Sugar was shocked and buried her head in Robins arms. The picture had an inexplicable familiarity. Yes. Anyway, its a loli, not a puppy, who depends on Robin. He doesnt mind if she depend on him at night. With this in mind, passing Robin, Ross casually said, If you want a child so much, I can give you one. Robin: ??? This sentence is naturally said with a distorted voice and others werent able to hear it but Sugar heard it and her body instantly stiffened and hot air came out of her head. Even if her body is that of a little girl, her mind is mature and she understands a lot of things. But then again Ross glanced at Sugar, if he used Seastone to completely suppress Sugars ability, would she change from Loli to being similar to Robin in an instant? But then the clothes will certainly burst in an instant. He does have the opportunity to experiment. Well, as you can see now, Sugar will temporarily become a trial crew member. By the way, dont touch her wristband without authorization. Shiliew of the Rain wasnt interested in her. He sat in a corner and continued to wipe the second generations demon blade with cotton balls. Law was not very interested either. He just looked up slightly. Ficheux Erman glanced at Sugar and laughed, Trial crew? That is to say, you still need to go through Captains tuning to get right? Its a wicked hobby, Captain. Ross shot a sharp look at Ficheux Erman but he was too lazy to pay any more attention to him. At this time. Sugar is also observing newcomers such as Shiliew of the Rain. First of all, Shiliew of the Rain is definitely an absolutely dangerous person. He may be a knife in the face of the other party. As for Ficheux Erman, he looks better, but it doesnt seem to be a person who respects the old and loves the young. Sure enough, she can only be close to Robin on this ship. Now lets talk about what happened next. Ross restrained his expression, and his eyes became calm. Everyone in the room saw Rosss appearance, and they all turned serious. Shiliew of the Rain put down the second generation demon blade. Looking at Ross, Law sat up straight, and the other lazy people all converge. Robin also put Sugar down. This is the Ghost Hand Pirates. Sugar looked on as the lazy people with various chat and jokes became a concentrated entity, Laffitte and other people-centered on Ross and she shrinks her head standing on the side of Robins legs. The situation among the crew and captain seems to be a partnership, but its just an appearance, which exists within the scope of Rosss permission. In fact, all life and death depend on Ross alone. The dominance and cohesion of this pirate group are vividly reflected in an instant. We have stored enough food and fresh water on the previous island to last the ship for the upcoming three islands. The next island will be Dressrosa. That is to say, after crossing three islands, the ship would need to stop at Dressrosa to load supplies and freshwater and then we sail towardsYonk (Four Emperors) territory! Ross opens slowly, stating the next route. Him going to Dressrosa also has other means, one is to load fresh water and other supplies and the other is to try to find Heal-Heal Fruit. If he cant find it, it wouldnt matter and it would not take much of his time. But with Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit in combination with Heal-Heal Fruit, this ship will become the worlds top medical institution and no one would be able to match the medical capabilities of this ship. After that. Crossing Dressrosa, they will sail to the sea of ??the Yonk (Four Emperors)! Although New World still has a lot of islands outside the jurisdiction of Yonk (Four Emperors), those islands are either unsuitable for domination because of their poor environment or mobile islands like Zou, which are hard to find. And that type of island is even worthless even if it is found. Even if they are attacked by force, the locals will not accept domination, let alone become subordinatesforces. Instead, they will waste their strength in the process of attacking. And so. The seas ruled by Yonk (Four Emperors) are the most suitable seas to take in the New World, and they are basically divided up by them. Some of these territories are caught in the middle of two Yonk (Four Emperors), and there are even islands in the center of the three Yonk (Four Emperors), which is the fuse of conflict between the Yonks (Four Emperors). The conflicts between Four Emperors are often due to the fact that both sides want to compete for territory. The fight starts with a common crew member, to a confrontation between cadres, which eventually evolves into a full-scale war. Naturally. New World is much better now than when the Four Emperors were first established. Many of these similar islands have been attributed separately between them, unlike the first few years where there was almost a continuous battle and the whole New World was in the midst of war. But thats why Ross, as the fifth ruler of the New World, has a hard time gaining a place corresponding to his status. He is bound to fight with Four Emperors! In silence. Shiliew of the Rain spoke slowly to Ross and said, Which od the Four Emperors are we moving against? For current Ghost Hand Pirates, they have the power to fight against any Yonk (Four Emperors), but to defeat a Yonk (Four Emperors), it is not that easy. Every Yonk (Four Emperors) has established its own status in countless killings and wars, and in addition to Yonk (Four Emperors), they have powerful subordinates! Chapter 243 Max Value Kenbonshoku Observation Haki We are in a somewhat conflict with Kaido, but the guy is strong. Laffitte stood by and spoke. He had investigated Kaidos information and looked at a random passage with numbness on his scalp. Rushed into the Marine Headquarters by himself! He is the only one that is singled out by other Yonk (Four Emperors)! His subordinates the three major disasters are only below him in terms of strength. This is a monstrous power level for any organization, including Marine and the government! Kaido is tough. Ross nodded and acknowledged Laffittes judgment. The government and Marine have captured Kaido many times and they have tried countless methods to kill him. They must have tried the method of feeding two Devil Fruits, but Blackbeard can accommodate two Devil Fruits with his special physique, so it is normal for Kaido to ignore the clash between Devil Fruits. For the Hundred Beast Pirates, even if they can defeat the other side, or even kill the Three Disasters, you cant do anything to Hundred Beast Kaido, and killing Kaido is even more impossible. Perhaps when the power of distortion is enhanced up to 800 or 900 points, and combined with Maximum Values Armament Haki, Kaido may be killed, but not yet. What about Akagami (Red Hair)? Ficheux Erman squinted his eyes. Laffitte said, Akagami (Red Hair) seems to be a little easier to deal with, but looking carefully at this guys information A large part of it is missing. What do you mean? Shiliew of the Rain frowned. Ross took over Laffittes words, calmly saying: Akagami (Red Hair)s intelligence is too secretive, it cant be explored at the moment, and it has a lot to do with the government. As a crew member of Roger, he mustve seen Raftel. It is not clear what he is hiding. Arriving at Raftel, it is a place worthy of incurring the jealousy for Shiliew of the Rain, but he also has a connection with World Government, which had him alarmed. In this case, only Whitebeard and BIGMOM are left. Trafalgar Law speaks quietly. Compared to other Yonk (Four Emperors), Whitebeard is the strongest standing on top of the sea from the Great Age of Pirates. One of the three legendary pirates and the one who is called the Strongest in the World! Nowadays, even with the passage of time, Whitebeards reputation has not declined but has penetrated into the heart of countless people, he is feared and awed by countless people. BIGMOM is easier to deal with than Whitebeard. Ficheux Erman whispered, saying: A few years ago, I had seen the power of Whitebeard. Even now, there is still a big gap between him and all of us. Laffitte retorted: Whitebeard is getting older, maybe hes not as strong as he once was? No one can sit in that position all the time. Others listened to the words of the two and joined the discussion. Ross quietly listened to the arguments between Laffitte and Ficheux Erman but did not say anything. After a while, he slowly said: There is no need to worry about this. After Dressrosa, we will enter the sea under the jurisdiction of Yonk (Four Emperors). As for who to deal with, we can leave it until then. In fact, what I want to tell you is that out of these four pirate groups, we have to overturn one, and I want to let you prepare in advance, nothing more. When they heard Ross, the atmosphere in the room was a little silent. Laffitte crooked laughed, and said, If youre ready, you would have already done it. Well wait until you make a decision, Captain. It doesnt make sense for me to come out of Impel Down and not remove one of the Four Emperors. Shiliew of the Rain smirked and continued to wipe the blade. For the current Ghost Hand Pirates, even if they face Yonk (Four Emperors), they will not have any fear. Marines were defeated in front of them, and Yonk (Four Emperors) is the same! Coming out of the hall. Ross walked next to Robin and said: Notify Kaku and have them collect the intelligence of the other Yonko Pirates and specially BIGMOM Pirates, and help me find someone else Currently, the Ghost Hand Pirates are strong enough on the surface, but they are still lacking in terms of strength if they want to defeat a Yonk (Four Emperors), they need to add another to combat force. The candidate has been selected by Ross for a long time now and he had even let Kaku and others inquire many things about the other side and he has a lot of understanding with regards to this person. Now. The Ghost Hand Pirates had developed to this step and Ross now has a certain confidence in inviting the other party to board the ship. After Robin nodded, she laughed and said: You really miss him very much. Hey! How strange that sentence sounds. Ross glanced at Robin and walked right to his room. He pushed the door open with his right hand. As he entered, he pulled Robin into the room with his left hand. Bang! The door slammed shut. Half a day later. After telling Ross the history of several countries and teaching Ross how to use and write ancient scripts characters, Robin came out of Rosss room and walked towards her room. Ross put on a loose shirt and walked to the outside deck. After defeating Marine, he received 140 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Point. He hasnt used them yet. At this moment, the translucent Talent System Interface emerges. After looking at the General Department and the Battle Department, Ross fell into thought. Today he has two options. One is to continue to improve the power of distortion and body and let his power of distortion move closer to the level of Whitebeard and the second is to upgrade Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Armament Haki to Maximum Value. What Ross is thinking about is whether Kenbonshoku (Observation) can achieve the Future Prediction after reaching the Maximum Value. Future Prediction is a strong assistant to have in a fight, but it is not so strong to become a cheat like broken ability because it can only see a certain kind of future. Once the choice is changed, the future will change accordingly, and it is impossible to predict the future after being changed. And. This ability also has time constraints and it cannot see the future for too long. Otherwise, the Future Prediction alone is almost an invincible ability, but Tokikake and Katakuri are clearly not invincible and they are even weaker than Admiral. Lets try it out. After hesitating for a moment, Ross chose to upgrade the two-types of Haki. He put 40 Proficiency Points on the Agility Enhancement to maximize his sensitivity. Agility Enhancement: 420 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value) Spirit Heart: 0(Basic Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 200 (Maximum Value) Rock: 50 (Mid Level Strengthening) Agility Enhancement has increased by 40 points, Ross has improved sharply, and Kenbonshokus control has become clearer. Then. Ross put 50-Proficiency Points to the Observation Haki. Buzz!! In the golden twinkle, Observation Hakis proficiency has risen all the way to Maximum Value! CHAPTER 244 TRUE DAMAGE At the same time, Ross also felt that his Kenbonshoku (Observation) has been enhanced all the way, its coverage has become wider and wider, and the details that can be perceived have become stronger. In his perception, a little spray is incomparably clear, and everyone seems to move much slower as if time is slowed down. Naturally. This is not a slowdown in time, but a special effect of his keenness and explosive growth of Kenbonshoku (Observation). In this state, even Kizarus movements will be slowed down by many times and can be clearly captured by him, no longer as vague as before. Spirit Heart. Ross was inspired and entered the state of Spirit Heart. In this state, Observation Haki was further developed. He stared at the sea in front of him, and time seems to freeze at this moment. Ross, who inspired the Observation Haki to the limit, tries to break through the shackles of its surface to see the scene that belongs to the future. But. As Ross Kenbonshokus Observation limit increased, he failed to see a picture of the future. Instead, things were moving more and more slowly, as if the whole world has become stationary. This state Ross felt something was wrong and tried to get out of this state, but it was difficult to do. It took him some time to get out of this state completely and when he got out he found out that his back wet with cold sweat. There is a problem with too much sensitivity and perception. If the world becomes too slow, it will feel like the days are passing by when only seconds have passed in real-time. Fortunately, Rosss spirit is strong enough to bear it. Future Prediction, it really is not so easy to get. Ross once again called out the Talent System Interface and at the end of the trunk of the Observation Haki, there was another small branch, the name of the branch is Future Prediction! The color of this branch is green, showing that it is ready to be activated. To activate Future Prediction, he needs 2 Free Talent Points. A big trap. The corners of Rosss mouth twitched slightly. He had a hard time in even acquiring 1 Free Talent Point, after much hesitation, he still did not activate it. Activating Distortion space cost 5 Free Talent Points. The Time Distortion must be at least 5 points, or even 7 points. He must save Free Talent Points as much as possible. As for Future Prediction Since it is possible to practice the ability and activate it, then he will try to practice and activate it! For the remaining 50 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross did not hesitate, and all of them were placed on Armament Haki. After the golden light flashed, Armament Haki also reached the Maximum Value. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 700 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) by Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki: 200 (Maximum Value) Armament Haki: 200 (Maximum Value) Haoshoku Haki: 0 After Armament Haki reached Maximum Value, like Kenbonshoku (Observation), it also has a small branch with the name markedTrue Damage. Activating it also requires 2 Free Talent Points. True Damage, what is this, an attack that cant be blocked? No, it should be harm that will not be immune. There was a flash of thought in Rosss eyes. In the War Of The Best, Marco received many laser attacks from Kizaru and all of his wounds would recover in a flash, some of Kizarus attacks must contain Haki, but none of them were effective. But, Garp punched Marco and Marco was unable to offset that damage with his ability. Armament Haki can attack a Logia user, but the damage is still partially offset by the elementalization. Armament Haki could also hurt Luffys rubber body but most of the impact will be offset by the properties of rubber. The limit of Kenbonshoku (Observation) is Future Prediction. The limit of Armament Haki maybe this ability. No matter what ability, there is no concept of offset damage! Naturally. Its just a guess on Rosss part, and hes not sure if its true, because he doesnt have it yet and doesnt plan on using his Free Talent Points to activate it. I dont know how strong I am today, how am I compared to Kaido. Ross shook his fist and felt the power in his body as his heart rose and fell like an ocean. Dressrosa. After nearly half destroyed by the war, the whole country has taken on a new look after half a year of reconstruction. As king Riku chose to rebuild the palace at last and live on the ruined kings high ground, the reconstruction of the country was very fast. Its completely rebuilt. Walking beside Ross, Robin looked at Dressrosas environment and smiled, she could see the reconstruction of the country destroyed by the war. Naturally, there was some happiness in her heart. Laffitte and others were sent by Ross to Greenbitt to look for Heal-Heal Fruit. Hajrudin and others were responsible for loading food and fresh water on board. As for Robin and Sugar, they were taken by Ross. Sugar silently followed Robin. It was a return trip for her, but nothing like it had ever been, as a special member of the Donquixote Family, she had always been hidden away in the Underground factory, rarely making it to the surface. That is, Ghost Hand Ross! And Nico Robin! The people who walked in the street, noticing Ross and Robin, were first surprised, then they showed different expressions, some were slightly timid, while others were happy. For them. Ross saved the country. No matter how much the World Government tries to mask the truth and smeared Rosss reputation around the World, on this island they cant. Because everything happened under the eyes of people, it was clearly seen by everyone. Sugar walks by with her head down. She doesnt want to be recognized. There were too many people who got turned into toys by her. There must be a lot of them on this street. She was wondering what she would do if someone cursed her or tried to avenge her death. Wearing the wristband, she couldnt do anything. However. Walking beside Ross and Robin, she was gradually shocked to find that no one around could see her and they only saw Ross and Robin. Ross strolled down the street and said with a mild look on his face, You are my crew after all. I cant let you get yelled at all the way. Ross never thought of himself as a messiah or as a savior of this country, he only wanted to deal with Doflamingo, and he couldnt think of himself that way. Not biased towards justice, nor inclined towards evil, occupying eternal neutrality in chaos. For him. His crew will always come first no matter what. CHAPTER 245 DIFFICULT ROAD AHEAD Walking. There was a sudden commotion from the crowd, and the royal guard led the way in the rear, escorting the crowned King Riku and others. And King Riku and others havent arrived yet, and a little pink-haired girl arrived in front of him. Please, are you Mr. Ross? Asked the little pink girl, with big, lovely eyes, addressing Ross with a childish voice. It was Princess Rebecca of Dressrosa, King Rikus granddaughter. Ross looks down at Rebecca, who is only ten years old now, and some of his memories come out and he cant help smiling. Robin on one side became quite fond of Rebecca, and said: if there is no other person with the same name here, then it should be our Captain. Thank you very much. Rebecca bit her lip and bowed towards Ross, thanking him with a childish and pure voice. If it werent for Ross, she wouldnt know that the one-legged toy soldier protecting her was her father Kyros. You know, a princess shouldnt bow to others. Ross faintly smiled, It doesnt matter if youre a Pirate or a Princess. In his opinion, this kind of girl is a cute creature, different from the ordinary people around her. It was at this time that King Rikus voice came from behind. No, Rebecca should thank you. Surrounded by soldiers, King Riku came through the crowd. As the King of the land and an elderly man, his face and manner were calm and unrevealing. He looked at Ross with the most solemn expression, and said, Allow me to express to you, on behalf of all the people of Dressrosa, our utmost gratitude. Many years ago. He was framed by Doflamingo, stripped of his status as king, and reduced to a sinner in Dressrosa, all of which seems like hell to him as a king. But more than half a year ago, Ross came to Dressrosa, breaking the light of the surface and revealing all the darkness to the public and fought and defeated the devil so that the country can enjoy the sunshine again, which is a great grace towards him and the people of Dressrosa. Your majesty All the people nearby were surprised to see King Riku slowly bowing to Ross. A guard tried to stop him, but his outstretched hand stopped in midair. However. King Riku wasnt able to bow before he was stopped. Please, King Riku, were pirates. Robin stops King Riku from saluting and speaks softly to King Riku. After the Dressrosa incident, it became a place where the Worlds attention converged. Not only did the Revolutionary Army secretly protect it, but also all the major forces were secretly staring at it. The World Government could not easily impose Buster Call on it to destroy the country. To do so would be to create a bigger mess than the Dressrosa incident. But. If King Riku bowed to a pirate, it would give the World Government a chance to make a great fuss about Dressrosa, even if they couldnt do anything to it. Nico Robin King Riku was stopped and turned to look at Robin and became a little silent. Ross slowly opened his mouth and Distorted his voice and said King Riku so only he could hear. This is not a place to talk. It just so happens that I want to talk to you. I dont know if your palace is rebuilt. With that, Ross took Sugars little hand and walked through the crowd on one side with Robin, disappearing in an instant. Kings Plateau. Dressrosas palace was finally being built and is still under reconstruction. The temporary palace is on the former Kings Plateau, where King Riku and other royal families live. Robin and Ross, standing in the garden of the Kings Plateau, looking out at the view of the garden. If word got out about the bow you took towards a pirate, thered be a lot of fuss because you are still part of the World Government. World Government King Riku sighed. After all this, how can I trust the World Government again? In fact, he wanted to quit the World Government, but the real royal family in charge of Dressrosa was the Donquixote Family eight hundred years ago, and it was only when the Donquixote Family moved to the Holy Land Mariejois that King Rikus ancestors took over the throne. Therefore, Dressrosa is one of the original orthodox countries to join the World Government. Even if he is the king, he has no right to withdraw from the World Government. Robin sighed. However, she had a clear understanding of Dressrosas history before and after and understood King Rikus situation. No matter how dissatisfied he was with the World Government, he could do nothing. Ross looked at the Sunflower Garden in Kings Plateau and said: If there is a huge regime that can oppose the World Government, what choice will you make, King Riku. Well King Riku was startled. As one of the Five Emperors, it is obviously not possible for Ross to say such unreasonable words, but for there to be a regime that can opposite the World Government, which has not been opposed in 800 years! Even the Four Emperors wouldnt oppose the regime of the World Government. The only reason that the World Government didnt want to fight them is that it would cause too much impact and loss and they had just let the Yonk (Four Emperors) let go, otherwise, not a single one of Yonk (Four Emperors) has the power to fight against the government and win. To establish a regime that is opposed to the government, it is not enough to plant flags on some islands. In addition to having enough power to contend with the government, countries far more than the islands in the New World should choose to join. Otherwise. Its just a joke. This is a much more difficult goal to achieve than becoming a pirate king. Even if Ross is already one of the five emperors, it is almost impossible for him to establish a faction that opposes the government even with King Rikus help. If there is a new government that is fair and just, I am willing to join. King Riku slowly opened his mouth. There was no one here but himself and Ross and Robin, so he didnt mind saying something that would turn the World Government against him. Rosss faintly smiled. This is the beginning and this is the first country that had joined him, although there is still a long journey ahead. Defeating all Yonk (Four Emperors), going to the apex of Yonk (Four Emperors), become the Pirate King and even this is not enough, he must have at least three forces powerful enough to rival Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. Only then would he have the capital to fight against the World Government. On the site, even if all the sites of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates are brought together and the whole New World is included, it will barely meet the regime standard. Naturally. All of these are goals that are too far away right now. The biggest problem hes facing now is Yonk (Four Emperors). How to beat Yonk (Four Emperors) and take their place is what Ross is currently considering. It is extremely ridiculous for the Emperor to be empty and powerful without any territory. In the eyes of countless forces in the whole sea, including King Riku standing here, they all know very well that the Ghost Hand Pirates will inevitably collide with other Yonk (Four Emperors)! Will it be a reshuffle, or splitting the sphere of influence into five pieces, or will there eventually be someone annihilated, restoring the former Yonk (Four Emperors) pattern? No one knows. The only thing to know for sure is that the sea will never settle down! In the coming battle of the five sovereigns, the entire New World will be affected, and the second half of the Grand Line may become a battlefield! CHAPTER 246 HEAL-HEAL FRUI While Ross was enjoying the scenery with Robin in the garden on Kings Plateau, a figure appeared in front of him in a dark arc. The figure was wearing a high-top ceremonial hat and holding a mahogany cane, he was Laffitte. Captain Ross. Laffitte bowed slightly to Ross, holding a mahogany stick in one hand, his other hand turned into the void and a fine Devil Fruit appeared in his hand. The fruit you were looking for. A few people went to Grinbit to find Heal-Heal Fruit, and the results were that it was easier to find than they had thought. They first encountered Dwarves Race, and the Dwarves Race didnt even need hypnosis. Laffitte literally said a few words which included Rosss name and the Dwarves Race began to launch a full scale invasion on their own island to help Laffitte find the Devil Fruit. Under a large-scale search, Grinbit was quickly turned over and they eventually found the Heal-Heal Fruit hidden in vines in a hole. Well, it went better than I thought. Ross smiled as he took the delicate-looking Heal-Heal Fruit from Laffitte. Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits medical strength does not need to be mentioned, Heal-Heal Fruit being able to cure all internal injuries is not just empty talk, its ultimate ability can even restore all wounds! Even if the internal organs are damaged or even missing, under the ability of Heal-Heal Fruit, they can be restored, the only drawback is that the ultimate ability has to be used at the cost of ones life. Lucky day were having today. Robin stood by and looked at the exquisite Heal-Heal Fruit with a smile. Now they have the Heal-Heal Fruit with them and there is also the Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit. As long as they are not fatally injured and die on spot, there is a cure for almost everything. It is two-layered insurance. This is very good. And with our next step is to fight a Yonk (Four Emperors). It is also an early preparation. Ross slowly opened his mouth, took a closer look at Heal-Heal Fruit, put it in his pocket, and motioned for Laffitte to return to the ship. Laffitte lifted up his ceremonial hat, smiled and flashed, disappearing from the Kings Plateau and headed for the coast. Lets go. Ross also walked forward, and he reached out to Void. Buzz!! The space in front of him is suddenly folded and distorted, forming a Distortion channel. Ross takes Sugar by the waist with one hand and Law bin with the other, and steps forward. With this step, the three figures suddenly crossed hundreds of meters from the Kings Plateau and appeared on a roof in Dressrosa. The limit of space that Ross can fold currently is about a kilometer, which means he can fold space in any direction he chooses and get away. Whiz! Whiz! He can also use this ability several times in a row, just like flash steps. When the final step falls, on a ship anchored on the shore, Void suddenly bends and Ross is seen taking one step and landing on the deck. Captain. Road, who had been watching the ship, became alarmed at the strange movement, but seeing that it was Ross, he dropped his guard down. Ross nodded towards Road and put down Sugar before asking Road: Where is Gerth? Loading freshwater and fish over there. Road pointed to the side of the ship. For the Heal-Heal Fruit, the most suitable user is naturally Gerth. As a giant, she is large enough and has a strong vitality, her life expectancy is far longer than the average human. Gerth can heal other giants using the Heal-Heal Fruit and she may be the only one who can stand the consumption to heal the other giants. For the time being, treating ordinary humans such as Laffitte and others, the effect is likely to increase greatly, and the consumption may be reduced by several times. So that even with using the ultimate ability, life expectancy will only be reduced by a little bit. After Ross nodded, he headed in the direction pointed by Road, the Giants are bigger so they are easy to find and Ross was able to see her at a glance. Whiz! As he stepped down, the whole man flashed onto Gerths shoulder. Captain? Gerth did a double-take, turned her head and looked over her shoulder and found Ross sitting there with a smile on his face. Ross stood on her shoulder and took out the Heal-Heal Fruit and put it at her red lips. Heal-Heal Fruit was like millet and it fell into Gerths mouth. What? Although the Devil Fruit is tiny compared to her size but like a human eating a grain of sand, it still doesnt taste good. Gerth felt bitter in her mouth and couldnt help but say: Captain, what did you throw? Devil Fruit. Ross flew up and came to the front of Gerth, responding to her. Gerth had guessed the Devil Fruit possibility. Ross couldnt have shot anything else in her mouth. After the bitterness passed, she noticed a force coming out of her body. It was a very gentle force that flowed to every part of her body and she felt the warm comfort of that area. It flowed to her feet and wrists, and all the small bruises and her tiredness vanished. This is Gerth put down the bucket in surprise and looked at her hands. If none of her fellow giants had Devil Fruit then she also wouldnt want one, but now that her fellow giants had eaten the devil fruit, she also had a very strong desire for Devil Fruit, because everyone else was much more powerful than she was. Heal-Heal Fruit, you need to figure out the specific properties and effects of this devil fruit by yourself, just know that the scope of this fruit is not limited to treatment, but also eliminate fatigue, supplement stamina, and various other extraordinary effects. Ross looked at Gerth and smiled. Although Heal-Heal Fruit is not a Battle oriented devil fruit, its role is unquestionable in a fight. Imagine Aokiji and Akainu fighting for ten days and ten nights in order to compete for the position of the Fleet Admiral. Finally, Akainu was slightly better. In this process, If Aokiji received a dandelion that can restore some of his Stamina and heal his injuries, the results of the entire Battle will be directly reversed! You have Devil Fruit now, Gerth. Hajrudin came to the ship with a large barrel and smiled at Gerth, they were joined by Goldberg and others. The Devil Fruit users are the majority population of this ship. Gerth had never had the Devil Fruit ability and now she had also got it. This is the end. The Giant Corps finally has five devil fruit users giants! You carry on, and let Gerth think about her own strength. Ross spoke to Hajrudin and the others, and flew to the ship. When he came to the ships deck, Shiliew of the Rain seemed to have just returned. Did you give it to her? Heal-Heal Fruit He had a cigar in his mouth and looked at Gerths direction. His eyelids hang down and said, This is fine. When he heard Shiliew of the Rain, Ross wondered: Whats wrong? Did you wanted the Heal-Heal Fruit?! There are very few non devil fruit users on board today, and Shiliew of the Rain is one of them, but Shiliew of the Rain is a character who has nothing to do with healing! Its nothing. Shiliew of the Rain shook his head and looked faintly: I was just thinking about the situation when I met the enemy. Would it be more interesting to cure him after attacking him, and cure him again before killing him with one blow Ross glanced at Shiliew of the Rain with a blank expression and turned toward his cabin. Not even going to ask. Lets just forget that I heard that. CHAPTER 247 EVERYONE PREPARING Future Prediction In the ships practice room, Ross holds a piece of Seastone in each hand to make himself weak and to suppress the power of distortion and avoids the bullets being fired around him. To stimulate Observation Haki to the limit alone is not to touch the ability of Future Prediction, but it is to plunge ones consciousness into an infinite extension of time. To practice Future Prediction, a more specific approach is needed. Bang! Bang! Bang! Robin conjured up a dozen arms, each holding a handgun and she kept firing them at Ross. Your body becomes weak while holding the Seastones so its not easy to avoid a bullet even if your Kenbonshoku (Observation) is fully aroused. From time to time, it will be hit by the bullets. However. With Rosss current physical strength, the bullet will only leave a simple white mark on him even without him using the Armament Haki to defend himself. If it wasnt clear how strong Ross was and that the regular bullets were at best toys to him than Robin wouldnt have accompanied him to this dangerous training. Bang! Bang! Robin shot randomly with so many guns and it became even more difficult for Ross to predict the paths of the bullets even with his Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Ross had to keep the Spirit Heart state active all the time to avoid the bullets. Its hard to avoid all bullets as his body got more and more bruised, it is difficult to avoid all bullets even with using Kenbonshoku (Observation) to perceive their paths. In this state, if he wants to avoid all bullets perfectly, he must have the ability of Future Prediction, to see the flight trajectory of all bullets in advance and to stand in the position that avoids all the bullets in advance or put himself in a position that can pass through the bullet net. Poof bursts! Poof bursts! In a series of elusion, Rosss forehead soaked with sweat and he was ultimate hit by two bullets in his chest and stomach and could no longer hold the two Seastones. The two Seastones fell to the ground, and Ross sat on the ground and gasped. All right? Robin came over and looked at Ross. She saw a slight white dot on his chest and stomach and her eyes flashed slightly. Although Ross stamina is mostly drained but under the strong resilience brought by the Tenacious Talent Maximum Value, the white point that was shot by the bullet disappeared in a few seconds. Its all right. Seems to have got the hang of it. Ross calmed his breath and slowly opened his eyes with a thoughtful look in them and his mind was constantly reminiscing about the practice process. This practice is still slightly dangerous. For example, if he is hit in the eyes, the problem will be very big. However, with Rosss current resilience and his recovery speed, even if his eyeballs are hurt, they can be recovered without a problem. Dont ask me to do this again. Robin looked at Ross and opened her mouth with a deadpan expression. Even though she knew that Ross would not be hurt, she still felt uncomfortable shooting guns at him. Ross recovered back from his thoughts and saw Robins appearance. He couldnt help but raise his lips and said: How can I quit halfway and you promised that you would help me train. You didnt say it was this kind of training. Robin stared at Ross with a blank expression. Ross gathered the middle finger and the first finger and made a gun posture with his hand. He moved the hand made gun towards Robin and said, You cant go back on your promise. Come, lets continue. If you dont shoot me, I will shoot you. ??? Robin stood up and glanced at Ross before walking out of the training room, ignoring Rosss threat. Ah. After resting for a few hours, Robin came back to help Ross with his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki training. The ship has already left the Dressrosa at this time, heading deeper into the New World, and just after Ross completed another workout session and feels that he is closer to activating the Future Prediction ability, the intelligence from Kaku and others was delivered. The Beast Pirates made a big move? In the bathroom, Ross wiped the water off his face with a towel, his eyes flashing as he listened to the news from Robin nearby. The details? We cant find out. We only know that the Beast Pirates have completed mobilized their forces and left the island they were anchored upon. We cant find out what their target and purpose is. Robin said slowly. No one dares to follow the ships of a Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirate group. It is possible to detect that the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates has gathered all of their combat forces and left the center of their territory. Which is already enough to alarm the intelligence of all parties. He could be coming against us. Ross thought for a moment and made a judgment. Kaido might not have paid attention if Ross had been weak enough to challenge the Beast Pirates, but now that he has been proclaimed as the Fifth Emperor of the sea, its a different story for Kaido. What should we do, should we bypass the established route? Robin came over and put the bathrobe on Rosss body and asked. Their originally proposed route is very close to the territory of the BIGMOM Pirates and it is also very close to one of the territories of the Beast Pirates. Their destination is an island on the border of the two sides. Now that the Beast Pirates party is on the move. If they want to avoid them, they have to bypass their original route and take the route between the territories of Whitebeard and Akagami (Red Hair), so Kaido will have to run into either Akagami (Red Hair) or Whitebeards Territory. No. Stay on course. Ross pulled on his bathrobe and stepped out of the bathroom, he straightened his hair and said with a glint in his eye, Since Kaido wants to fight, lets fight! Since confrontation with other Yonk (Four Emperors) is only a matter of time, it is better to start now. If he can defeat the Beast Pirates than it would be better. If he cant beat him, Ross doesnt think Kaido can do the same either. The Ghost Hand Pirates combat power is now fully formed, they are strong enough to rival any pirate group. There is no possibility of being a one-sided fight and being crushed and killed. Then we are ready for war. Robin said faintly. Currently, she is not the scared little girl who escaped from OHaras, and Devil Child that has been hiding under the pursuit of Marine. She has experienced many battle many times and she has trained with Ross many times too. Even if she doesnt like to fight, she can now utilize the hardened Armament Haki, she is also proficient in Observation Haki and she has developed her Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) and she can now create doppelg?ngers with her powers. Her mentality and strength have been promoted by a lot since the time when they all got chased by Aokiji and had to flee. Let everyone know. Ross said quietly. Robin nodded and exists the room and passed the message to the rest of the Ghost Hand Pirates. Hundred Beast Kaido? Shiliew of the Rain pulled out the second generation ghost blade and looked at the sharp blade, his face showing a calm and heart-wrenching smile. The Beast Pirates, isnt it? Ficheux Erman sighed as another headache came to him, he sighed again and said: Since its a fight they want than a fight they will get! Ho, ho, ho, the world is going to be shocked again. Laffitte wiped his black ceremonial hat and made a creepy laugh. Kaido? I finally got to this step. Trafalgar Law put the demon blade on his shoulders, his eyes flashing with sharpness. I heard that the Beast Pirates are very strong. The giant of the sand, Road said slowly. Hajrudin, with a calm face, clenched his fist in front of him and said: Any enemy can be beaton in front of the Giants Corps! Lets fight for the glory of Elfbuff and Captain! Everyone in the Giant Corps is filled with fighting sprit. As pure warriors, there is absolutely no fear in their hearts. Even if the other party is the Beast Pirates, it is the same! Ghost Hand Pirates. All staff prepare for war! CHAPTER 248 ALL PARTIES FOCUS World Government. The highest level office. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) are either sitting or standing, their expressions are full of seriousness, they just received an intelligence report from New World, about the movements of the Beast Pirates. Kaido is acting. Should we set out a Marine Admiral? The Ghost Hand Pirates have already penetrated deep into the New World, and deploying an Admiral is too big of a move and may cause unnecessary trouble. The five people are one person and one sentence. The Yonk (Four Emperors) who regards New World as their own territory does not allow powerhouses at the level of Marine Admirals to enter their territorial waters at random. This is tantamount to infringing on their faces. If the Ghost Hand Pirates fights with the Beast Pirates, other Yonk (Four Emperors) may not intervene, but if a Marine Admiral is dispatched, other Yonk (Four Emperors) will definitely interfere. In my opinion, it is better to let CP0 secretly follow them. Not a bad idea. Seconded. Within the New World, it is almost impossible to send more Marine Admiral level forces to fight a war with Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates as the consequences would be extremely serious. Moreover, the Ghost Hand Pirates are in their heyday, It would be difficult for even three Marine Admiral classs combat power to knock them down, so it is not meaningful to send more people. And if the CP0 secretly travels and follow them and once the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Beast Pirates lose people on both sides, it would be a great opportunity to fish in troubled water. Assassination. They will kill. These are the things that CP0 is best at. Under the command of Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), CP0 Chief led the elite assassins of CP0 and quickly set off from the Holy Land Mariejois. This time, there was no big fanfare and they all dressed up and went to the New World. At the same time. Hundred Beast Kaidos action news is also rapidly spread in the Underground World and falls into the ears of countless forces. Although Yonk (Four Emperors) pirates cant compete with the government, they are the emperor of the New World. Once they act, it will trigger a huge moment. Kaido is acting. Its not a separate action. This time he brought he entire fire power. Is he going to attack someone? Looks like the Emperor War is starting. Someone, speaking slowly and with a deep eye, had suspected Kaido might be going after the Ghost Hand Pirates. Emperor War! This was almost always happening in the era when Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates were first formed, but now the time is the Great Age of Pirates, seventeenth year, this type of war hasnt happened in a long time. The Ghost Hand Pirates appeared and finally broke the balance of the New World which let the entire New World enter the chaotic pattern again! Kaido is moving. In the Akagami (Red Hair) territory, Shanks holds a sword and sits on a reef on the shore. Lucky Roo took a bite of meat and said, Do you want to act? Boss. No. Akagami (Red Hair) shook his head and said with a deep light in his eyes: Let them fight. The presence of Ghost Hand Pirates has broken down the balance. This war is bound to break out. It is inevitable. This is the wave of the times and cannot be stopped. Beckman stood on the shore and looked at the sea where the waves were rising. He took a cigarette and said: The sea, which has been calm for several years, is about to swell again. Whitebeard territory. Kaido has gone in search of a ghost. After all, he lost his man and was provoked by Ghost Hand Ross, it is quite normal for him to move against them Marco said to Jozu, then turned to look at Whitebeard, saying: Father, who do you think will win? Whitebeard folded his hands on his chest and sat on the deck of Moby Dick. He said: Gulalala, the Ghost Hand boy hasnt come to fight me yet and yet Kaido moved When he heard Whitebeard, Marco couldnt help but smile. He said: The last time someone provoked you was three years ago and in the end, he was punched out of the Island by you. But that Kaido is strong. He isnt like some washed out Marine. The Ghost Hand Pirates has encountered a hard scorpion this time. BIGMOM territory. Kaido Yonk (Four Emperors) BIGMOM is sitting in the Whole Cake Island, stuffing a snack into her mouth and saying, Well, it seems that he was really provoked by that Ghost Hand Boy. When it comes to the Ghost Hand Pirates, BIGMOMs expression is not a happy one. The Totto Land she built to accommodates countless species in the world, but there is no giant here. She always wanted to take the giants under her control, but because of her old past, the relationship between the giants and her was bad. And. The character of the Giants is rather unyielding, and even if she is strong, it is impossible for them to yield to her, they would rather die first. Now, on Rosss ship, there are five giants which formed a Giant Corps, and they have all become devil fruit users, which makes her extremely unhappy. The power that she wants with her whole heart and she did not get it, instead, it is thrown into the bosom of others and became the battle force of others. Even if the Kaido guy doesnt do it, I will kill that Ghost boy sooner or later. To encroach on the power that I want, I will never allow it! BIGMOM said, and there was a hint of madness in her eyes. Katakuri, the Head of the Four Sweet Commanders stood beside BIGMOM, his eyes open and indifferent: No need to be so angry, Mother, they may not be able to survive in Kaidos hands. That is also true. BIGMOMs expression slowly calmed down and she put a piece of bread into her mouth. The ordinary people are still in the dark, but the major forces have already received the news and the entire New World is showing a brewing undercurrent. After seven days, Ross and others finally arrived at their destination island. Duka Island! In the ruins of Duka Island, which was originally a bustling kingdom and was later destroyed in the war. The civilization had disappeared and it looked like this belongs to ancient times, it now belongs to some barbarians. The barbarians combat power is very strong, but because their number is small and their behavior is too brutal plus with the many powerful beasts on the island, so the island is not favorite by Yonk (Four Emperors) and this became the island located outside the territory of Yonk (Four Emperors). If we go further, we will enter the Totto Land sea area and the Hundred Beast sea area. We will rest here today. Ross walked down from the ship and looked at the island, which was covered by the forest and he could see a lot of remains covered by tree vines. From here on, it is the territory of Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. Kaido is now in motion, but he doesnt know where he is, so Ross has to prepare for the war every step of the way. There seems to have a long history on this island. Robin boarded the island and headed towards a vine-covered area in the forest and pulled a stone with the words carved from the vines and carefully observed it. Well, there may be a Poneglyph here. Ross followed her and said to Laffitte and others at the rear: Dont be too dispersed, try to be on the area along the coast. If someone from the Beast Pirates appears, let me know immediately. Yes, Captain. Laffitte echoed. CHAPTER 249 COLD FRUI An ancient civilization destroyed by war Robin walked through the forest, plucking the vines from time to time to see the remains of the pieces buried in the mud, each with a long history, at least hundreds of years ago. What she wanted to see most is the Poneglyph stone, but this kind of thing is not so easy to find, at the least, she had to explore this island and it may even be buried in Underground. Roar! In the middle of the search, a sudden roar came from the bushes, and a great silverback ape sprang out of the bushes and charged at her with a roar. Robin crossed her arms and utilized Armament Haki: Hardened, but she was still pushed back by the huge impact force and only managed to stop after five or six steps. It is indeed a dangerous place. As Ross stands to one side, he realizes that the silverback ape is still trying to deliver a blow to Robin and he delivers one with the power of distortion. Bang! Perceiving the danger, the silverback ape hurled a huge fist at Ross with a roar. Two disproportionate fists collided with each other and the silverback ape was hit with such force that its massive body flew backward, breaking three thick trees in a row before it came to a Halt. It vomited blood from its mouth and its huge eyes revealed humanized fear. The ape fled into the depths of the forest and disappeared. Not dead. Ross took back his fist and surprise flashed in his eyes. He didnt use all his strength just now, but he still used about a third of his power. With his current strength, even a third of his power is extremely terrible and even with that, the giant ape survived. There are many incomprehensible creatures in this world. For example, Luffy needs to unleash Gear Forth to defeat the so-called giant beast in his two years of practice. It seems that this is just a similar existence. No wonder that Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates are not interested in this island. Robin withdrew her gaze. She was not afraid of any danger in Rosss company, but the great silverback ape was a little more powerful. Naturally. Today, Ross is sitting in one of the top positions of the sea in terms of power, if not the strongest, then he certainly is almost there, so some giant beasts are nothing to him. The two continued to move deeper into the forest. In the continuous inspection of the relics, Robin gradually found some clues, and after checking some temporary carved words, her eyes glistened: This island was destroyed by the World Government Buster Call? A few hundred years ago? Ross asked as he walked beside Robin. Robin shook her head and said: There should be no Buster Call at that time, but it should also be some sort of order to destroy the island. Look at these traces. The time of destruction should be about 600 years ago. Ross calmly said: This is not the first time that we have seen the evidence of World Government destroying the island to cover up their secrets. Robin didnt speak. The situation of this island reminded her of her hometown, OHara. She was not in a good mood and continued to walk towards the jungle in silence. Going forward, Ross perceives something and his eyes flashing slightly, saying: Someoneno, it should be the so-called barbarian. In front. In the depths of the jungle, they saw a group of people wearing rough linen cloths around their waist with naked upper bodies were besieging a huge tiger with a body size of seven or eight meters. The tiger was so powerful that it could tear a tree half a meter in diameter with one stroke, but it was still beaten by the barbarians, covered in blood and routed. Obviously. Barbarians who can survive on this dangerous island are also equipped with certain strength. Uka! In the midst of the siege, one of the great savages gave a great roar, and with the terrible force of his stone spear, he sprang to his feet and fell upon the tigers head, piercing it. The tiger gave a roar and fell to the ground, struggling for a few moments before becoming motionless. Armament Haki. Ross and Robin appeared on the treetops not far away, and their eyes glanced toward them. Similar to the Sky Island whose people are naturally proficient in Observation Haki, the barbarians on this island seem to be naturally proficient in Armament Haki, which is also the source of their strength, otherwise, they wouldnt be able to compete with those beasts. Yi? And just as the savages were beginning to gather up their prey, Ross gave a cry of surprise at what he saw, in one of the savages shabby knapsacks, a strange fruit, all blue, with a strange pattern. Devil Fruit! It was only one look and Ross was 90 percent sure that it was a Devil Fruit. Originally Ross was not interested in these barbarians, but they got a Devil Fruit out of nowhere, which made him narrow his eyes a little. Blue Devil Fruit There was a flicker of surprise in Robins eye, she used her ability to make a pair of eyes at close range, and carefully observed the Devil Fruit, thinking a little: It looks a bit like Logias Ice-Ice Fruit, but thats Aokijis ability, and it looks like Paramecia, it might be the Cold-Cold Fruit. Cold-Cold fruit? Ross had a thoughtful look in his eyes. Oven, the fourth son of the BIGMOM Pirates has the fruit ability called Hot-Hot Fruit, which is Paramecia, using which he can make himself hot and can exert the power of low-class magma. Not surprisingly, this Cold-Cold fruit should also be a low-end version of Ice-Ice Fruit, a Paramecia that gives your body a very cold temperature. The ability of this fruit is not weak. After thinking a little, Ross made a decision to take it. The Hot-Hot Fruit can heat the sea and make the seawater boil. The Cold-Cold fruit must also have the power to freeze the sea. Although it is difficult to compare with Aokijis Ice-Ice Fruit, its development limit is not necessarily weak. Moreover, the power of the frozen sea is not something weak in this world. Huh! Almost as soon as Ross and Robin were observing the Devil Fruit, the barbarian who seemed to be the leader, suddenly raised his head, showing a vigilant expression. After bellowing a few confusing phrases, he turned towards the direction of Ross and Robin and looked towards their position. Although Ross had used Light Distortion and sound distortion to be invisible, the other party still seemed to find them out. It seems that they can also use Observation Haki. Rosss face remained unchanged, the fact that they had been secretly observing it for so long means that this group of savages had very average knowledge of Kenbonshoku Haki. Its quite different from their Armament Haki. Chapter 250 Beast Pirates At the call of the barbarians leader, the others took up their arms and looked warily in the direction of Ross and Robin, all with fierce expressions. At this time, Ross also dissipated the Light Distortion and Sound Distortion and appeared in front of them. Whiz! He jumped down from the treetop and calmly looked at the many barbarians in front of him. He points to the Cold-Cold fruit in one of the simple bags, saying: That, give it to me, in exchange for two of these, prey. Ross made a few simple gestures. However. Many barbarians did not pay attention to him but instead set their sights on Robin, who was next to him. Woman? Woman! They spit out very strange words. Ross turned to look at Robin and said, Do you understand them? Its probably not something very friendly. Robin slightly narrowed her eyes. For the simple language used by the barbarians, she just happened to understand a little bit. It seems that women are very important to them and they look as if they are going to rob me. After roughly judging the meaning of the other party while watching their excited faces and the movement of encircled, Robin translated it to Ross. ??? Rosss eyes dropped and his expressions become cold, he looks back at the barbarians who are surrounding them. He has no interest in any more deals. He said, Tell them, they must die after they angered God. Robin She looked and didnt talk. Whiz! Whiz! At this time, the barbarians moved and they threw the spears in their hands towards Ross, trying to kill Ross directly and then bring Robin back to the Horde. Almost as soon as they threw the spear, Ross put his hand forward. Buzz!! The power of distortion swayed and the spears wrapped in Armament Haki and even in Armament: Hardening slowed down in the air as if they had fallen into the mud, after a difficult push, they completely solidified in the air. Seeing this scene, many barbarians showed surprised expressions and shouted at each other in incomprehensible words, as if to warn them. Annihilation. Rosss eyes were dull as his palms darts forward and pressed down in Void. Bang! The power of distortion broke out, letting the surrounding void area appear in the form of Distortion, many barbarians were suddenly shrouded in it like cockroaches and fell down. At the same time, Ross grabbed the blue Devil Fruit with his left hand and took it back. Oh! A group of barbarians waved their weapons and madly inspired the Armament Haki, but in the face of Rosss power, they could only stand for a second and all of them collapsed. The power of distortion fell down and killed everyone in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the area around the barbarians collapsed in the area of tens of meters. Robin looked at the scene calmly, without any expression of sympathy. From the words and actions of the barbarian just now, she can roughly think of what kind of end will a civilian ship or a merchant ship will get after crashing in this island. Moreover, the strength of these barbarians is extraordinary and their strength is similar to the pirates with the bounty of 100 million berries and even then those pirates may have the same ending as civilians in the hands of these barbarians. This is the depth of the New World. Compared to here, the first half of the Grand Line is paradise! Can you confirm that this is indeed the Cold-Cold fruit? Ross observed the blue Devil Fruit in his hand and handed it to Robin. Robin took over and recalled the Devil Fruit book she had seen in her childhood. Her memory was impeccable and she can recall everything she had once read. The impression is not very deep, but there should be no other similar fruits. If its not the Paramecia Cold-Cold fruit, it should be some other cold property fruit in Paramecia indexes like cold chill or cold weather fruit, it can make cold and or ice, but its not very likely, the Cold fruit has a similar pattern. He heard Robins words. Ross nodded, the cold fruit also has the power of the freeze the sea. However, in his opinion, if the Cold-Cold fruit is developed well, it may not be much worse than the Ice-Ice Fruit, lowering its own temperature and affecting the outside world. Negative 50 degrees, negative hundred degree, absolute zero The power of each magnitude is totally different. If it can reach absolute zero, it is equal to the ultimate power of cold, and Ice-Ice Fruit may not be able to compete with it. Lets go. Harvesting a valuable Devil Fruit, Ross is in a good mood. But just as Ross put the Cold-Cold fruit in his pocket, Robin suddenly made a noise and walked over to the area that was collapsed by Ross and looked down. Underneath it, it was an ancient relic buried in the depths of the Underground. Along with the huge potholes that Ross created, a huge square stone could be seen in the dimly light and Ross and Robin had guessed its nature at a single glance. Poneglyph Stone! Although Robin speculated that there might be a Pondeglyph Stone Tablet on this island, if it didnt happen to collapse here, it would not be found until the whole island was turned over. This is a bit unexpected. With a small laugh, Ross reaches down to the Underground ruins, and the light thrashes around with Light Distortion that makes the whole underground area seem as bright as day. Robin jumped into the ruins and walked over to the Poneglyph stone and carefully studied it and Ross stood by and acted as a light bulb. I do not know how long it has been. Robin jumped up from the ruins and sighed. The Poneglyph tablet was recorded with the glory of the Duka Kingdom of the Duka Island, but six hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Duka was destroyed. The ruins are all that remains that are preserved to this day. Ross doesnt know how much history was buried in the Underground as Robins mood was slightly lower. Ross stretched out his fingers and gently pushed a strand of hair in front of her forehead. The times are moving forward. There are always people and countries that become history, but as long as you think, sooner or later you will find all the history you want to know. Robin nodded lightly. The two passed through the jungle and returned to the ship. After a day of rest, Ross once again accompanied Robin into the jungle to find more ruins of Duka Island. After a total of three days of exploration, the entire island was explored almost once and they came face to face several times with the barbarian tribe, all of which were put to an end with Rosss power. The fourth day. At the end of the coastline, a black shadow appeared. That is a ship. Immediately after the first shadow appeared, the second shadow, the third shadow the shadows formed a fleet that is heading towards the direction of Duka Island. There is no earth-shaking momentum, but just to see the ships sailing to this island, it brought a kind of daunting oppression, No one knows when the blue sky was gradually covered by dark clouds. Trafalgar Law stood up and Laffitte leaped from the mast, Shiliew of the Rain walked out of the cabin Finally here. Everyone looked at the fleet that was coming, and someone whispered in a low voice, and the light shone. The fleet came from Yonk (Four Emperors). BeastPirates! CHAPTER 251 SO IT BEGANS Quick! Look, its the ships from the Beast Pirate regiment! A special hot air balloon is floating in the sky, looking in the direction of the Duka Island and the sea surrounding it. There are three people on the hot air balloon, One of the three men on board, with a telescope in hand, looked nervous and excited as the ship headed towards the Ghost Hand Pirates. Big news! This is the exclusive big news! Morgan put down the telescope, and the excitement in his eyes was unstoppable. He said, Get us a little closer, this distance will be very vague. No! Morgan, any more close and we will be discovered by them! The two men stood at the back of Morgan and heard Morgans orders. They all wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads and repeatedly dissuaded him. It would be nothing id the Beast Pirates and The Ghost Hand Pirates ignored them after discovering them but if not then it will spell a disaster for them. After all, they are two of the five emperors! Its the same thing, just a little closer, just a little bit. Morgan indulged a bit, he had a good relationship with BIGMOM and had a little bit of contact with Kaido but he has only seen the Ghost Hand Pirates once. His two subordinates bite their teeth, and finally control the hot air balloon to get slightly closer, and by this time, the Beast Pirate ship was already to the Duka Island! The clouds are densely covered. On the shore of the Duka Island, Ross stands on a reef with a calm look, allowing the seawater and tumbling waves to slap on the reef. Behind him, Shiliew of the Rain and others are all showing their fighting spirits. At last. As the Beast Pirates ships approach, Ross and others were able to see the tall figure at the front of the deck of the main ship in the center. He stood there, his face heavy with muscles, and without speaking, but already with a terrible dignity and power which gradually came upon them as the ship drew near. Yonk (Four Emperors)! Hyakujuu No Kaido (Hundred Beast Kaido)! On the other three ships, the High-Level cadres of the Beast Pirates stood at the forefront of the deck. They were also the three major disasters of the famous New World. They were not inferior to Shiliew of the Rain in terms of strength. Kaido Sama, it seems that the Ghost Hand Pirates are gathering on the shore. A member of the Beast Pirates stood next to Kaido and after observing the situation on the coast, he reported it to Kaido. His face did not show any fear, even though the Ghost Hand Pirates name shock the world, but they belong to the Beast Pirates, why would they fear an upstart newcomer who doesnt know his limits? Even if it is the Whitebeard Pirates, Kaido alone has fought them out more than once! Kaido didnt respond to his men. At this moment, his eyes converge and land on Ross on the shore, and Ross is also looking towards Kaido from the distance. Kaido is an old emperor of the New World, while Ross represents the peak of the New era. The conflict between Kaido and Ross represents the collision between the old Emperor and the New Fifth Emperor! The fleet approached the coast and began to slow down. Hundred Beast Kaido stared at Ross and was somewhat surprised by his imposing manner in front of him and he also noticed that Ross wasnt showing any fear being in his presence. He slowly said: Ghost kid, what you said in the Icefield island, you should have not forgotten. I remember. Ross said in a calm voice, looking at Hundred Beast Kaido calmly and said, I just wanted to see if the Beast Pirates truly cannot be offended. When he heard Ross, Kaido was not angry. Instead, he slightly grinned and showed a rough smile. A horrible momentum suddenly burst out of him and pressed towards Ross. Haoshoku Haki! For Kaido, what he hates most is nonsense. Since Ross has provoked the Beast Pirates, then it is as simple as ending it with a war! Under Kaidos Haoshoku Haki, the clouds in the sky seem to have been towed and rolled up in a frenzy. For a time, it seems that the sky is going to crack, and it is rolling over. Buzz!! Ross, with his steady, piercing eyes, stared at Hundred Beast Kaido, and at about the same time, his Haoshoku Haki was also inspired and collided with Kaidos Haki. Crackling! Two Emperor-level Haoshoku Haki suddenly collided in the sea, and for a moment, it seemed to explode with countless black bolts of lightning, intertwined in the Void. Although the two people did not physically strike each other but just the collision of their Haoshoku Haki has brought about an earth-shaking power, the violent waves kept rolling in the sea and some also lifted towards the sky! Whiz! In the next moment, Ross made a bold move, he took a step forward in the void and then he caused the rolling waves solidified in front of him and then violently rolled back. The Gravity Distortion inspired and shrouded the entire surface of the sea in front of it. For a time, the whole sea was roaring wildly and the waves in front of the Beast Pirates were flying in the sky up to hundreds of meters high. What happened? Ohh, this is not good! The numerous members of the Beast Pirates become unstable in an instant. As the hull of their ship flies into the sky, their faces are filled with horror as soon the sea will lay its claim over their life. And almost at this moment, Hundred Beast Kaidos face sank and his figure suddenly flashed, breaking the waves and giving rise to an overwhelming force that charged towards Ross. Ross is the one who started first, so hes not going to be polite anymore! The huge body, inspired by the horrible Armament Haki which is condensed on his fist, this punch, whether it is the amount of power or the level of Armament Haki, exceeds all the characters that Ross has seen so far. But. Faced with Kaidos punch, Ross did not show the slightest fear, he gave up the control of the sea and the power of distortion gathered on his fist in preparation to greet Kaido. Under the intense gaze of countless people, Hundred Beast Kaido and Rosss fists collided with each other on the coast. Buzz!! The disproportionate size of the fist, at the moment of its touch, does not cause any side to fly backward but makes the nearby Void seem to be frozen for an instant. Then. Under the shock of countless eyes, the air centered on the spot where Ross and Kaidos fists struck, like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, rippling in all directions. The reef just below them was almost blown to pieces in the aftermath of a single attack, and the ripples rippled on the shore like a blow from a great sword, shattering the whole shoreline! The waves are rolling. Some members of the Beast Pirates regiment stepped in to land the ship back out to sea, but by this time most of their attention was focused on Ross and Hundred Beast Kaido. Kaido Samas attack was blocked Sure enough, hes not just a guy with a name. Many of the Beast Pirates members saw this scene, and at the same time they were shocked and they also took a deep breath. Since Ross can block Kaido, it would be a tough fight. CHAPTER 252 SHOWDOWN Zi Zi! Rosss struggle with Kaido continues and this one is not based on the stamina and power of distortion, but also the power of Haoshoku Haki. On the other side. Shiliew of the Rain with a cigar in his mouth and his blade in his hand looks at Ross and Kaido for a second, then he moves towards the Beast Pirates Ships. Captain has already started, then I should start too. He has been unable to hold back his bloodlust and now that Ross and Kaido have begun the fight, there is no need to wait and be patient. Whiz! Almost in a single moment, Shiliew of the Rain suddenly came to the air, and the second generation ghost blade was slowly pulled out by him. The sword edge full of evil spirit suddenly solidified into a cold. This icy wind spread from Shiliew of the Rains hand and extended all the way to the tip of the sword. Negative fifty degrees. Shiliew of the Rain slowly spit out a word and then the blade in his hand suddenly smashed out with blueish sword energy and went towards the Beast Pirate ship. The Cold-Cold fruit was finally taken by Shiliew of the Rain, and after eating it, within a few days, he combined the power of this fruit into his sword arts. Kch! Kch! The sea surface was swept by the sword energy and under the horror-stricken eyes of thousands of people, it condensed into ice inch by inch. The huge sea current suspended in the air that day was also swept by sword energy of Shiliew of the Rain and condensed into a huge ice ball thousands of Meters in diameter. Ice sword arts? One of the members of the Beast Pirates looked at the huge frozen ice ball in the sky and his eyes flashed for a moment, then he suddenly charged into Shiliew of the Rains sword energy and broke the sword energy, he held the surface of the ice ball with his arms. Ahhh! With blue veins overflowing on his forehead, he gave a sudden roar and the huge hockey ice ball was pushed by him and hit Shiliew of the Rain and others on the shore. When Shiliew of the Rain saw this, he raised his eyebrows and said, I made a mistake. Instead, I helped them He spoke quietly while holding the second generation ghost blade and suddenly attacked the huge ice ball, the huge ice ball with a diameter of thousands of meters was cut from the middle and spillted up in two equal parts and dropped on the two sides of the coast. Are you one of the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates? After cutting open the huge ice ball, Shiliew of the Rain looked at the man opposite to him and asked, I dont know which one you are? Why dont you guess. The man didnt answer. After answering the question with another question, the man suddenly charged towards Shiliew of the Rain. As one of the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates, the other partys strength is extremely tyrannical, which seemed to be neck and neck with Shiliew of the Rain. However, they were on equal ground in terms of strength because Shiliew did not fully grasp the ability of the Cold-Cold Fruit. If Shiliew can completely control the ability of the Cold-Cold Fruit and develops it to a certain extent and combined with his own sword arts, his combat power can fully reach the level of a Marine Admiral! Hey, you guys over there, Ill show you something nice. Seeing Shiliew fighting with one of the Three Disaster, Ficheux Erman didnt wanted to be outdone, and he clasped six coins in his hands and sandwiched them between his fingers. He crossed his hands in front of him and swept them towards the ship of the Beast Pirates. Sii! Sii! Six coins flew out in the air in an instant, and with the help of Speed Fruit, they lashed at the Beast Pirates ships at a terrible speed. The cadres of the Beast Pirates failed to react on time. In the rush, they could only block four coins. Two of them hit the bow of the ship and the bomb of the ships deck was exploded and the others fell into the crowd! Son of a bitch! Someone from the Beast Pirates Regiment roared, looked angrily at Ficheux Erman, and suddenly rushed out of the ship, heading straight for Ficheux Erman at amazing speed. Damn you! He looked at Ficheux Erman with a murderous and cold. Undaunted, Ficheux Erman lurched back from the attack to avoid it and at the same time, he reached for the revolver guns around his waist and started shooting them. Here, Ficheux Erman and Shiliew of the Rain and two of the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates have started fighting and the other members of the Beast Pirates finally flicked and jumped ashore. The war broke out completely! It has started In the air far from the battlefield, Morgan, who is on a hot air balloon, is looking at the battlefield from afar. He said: I dont know if it will bring an end to a legend, or will the Ghost Hand Pirates will be annihilated and become history. The two subordinates behind him were nervous and excited. No matter what the outcome of this war is, it will certainly shake the world, and it is even possible for this war to completely rewrite the situation of Yonk (Four Emperors) and lead the times to an unpredictable future! Bang! In the violent collision between Ross and Kaido, the final blow was exhausted and both retreated. There was no land behind Kaido and he fell into the raging waves, while Ross rolled over from the reef and landed on the coast. In this collision, almost no distinction can be made. Hua! Kaido is known as the strongest creature in the sea, land and air. It is not a big thing for him to fall into the sea. He came out of the sea in an instant. He spread his hands and came out of the sea wather step by step and reached the coast. Your strength is good, ghost boy Whiz! At the moment when his voice fell, Kaido stepped out suddenly. He charged towards Ross with his huge body at a very fast speed. When he punched, the shocks created by the power behind the punch swayed the entire coast. But. If you only got this much then you arent worth more than a mosquito! Bang! The fists of the two men collided again, once again inspiring a terrible power which got blasting in all directions, it seems that the entire island is shaking and no one dares to stay near them. He is Strong and fast At the same time as Kaido threw his second punch, a glint entered Rosss eyes as he began to judge Kaidos power. Kaido, whose physical strength has reached an appalling level, is not very strong in pure attack, certainly not as strong as Whitebeard was at his peak state, otherwise, Whitebeard would have lost his title as the worlds greatest. But. This so-called not strong attack combined with the defense of his immortal body, its power is still enough to pulverize a mountain and break an entire small island! Kaidos defense and resilience does not need to be measured and judged. It must be the worlds number one. As for his speed and attack, it is no less than Aokiji or Akainu and other Marine Admirals. And. Since Kaido is a strong physical attacker, his Armament Haki and Observation Haki are more refined and strong than any Marine Admiral. Rosss Kenshoken (Observation) Haki has reached the Maximum value and his Armament Haki is close to reaching that value, so Kaido will be weaker than him in this respect. But he still has an extremely terrifying presence! His Battle power is stronger than everyone Ross had encountered so far! Ross had a rough idea of Kaido in his mind, but his mind was not in any chaos and he was quite excited. He wanted to know what his strength was now! War! Instead of suppressing the excitement, Ross took a deep breath and let it boil, bringing out all the power of distortion and fighting Kaido with it. CHAPTER 253 THUNDER VS DROUGH Whiz! Whiz! When Ross and Kaido confronted each other, the other Beast Pirates also rushed to the coast, and the giants led by Hajrudin greeted them. In front of the three giants of Sand, Metal, and Barriers, the many Zoan abilities users in the Beast Pirates were as small as toys. Even if they had a large number and are crazily rushing at the giants, it is like a group of dogs besieging a giant elephant, the giant elephant will shake off or even kill a lot of them just by moving, so that the group of dogs can do nothing to them and the defense of the elephant will not be easily punctured by the dogs. Your opponent is me. Trafalgar Law holds his Kikoku blade and looks on impassively at a group of members of the Beast Pirates. Today, he has grown much faster than the original and is now as strong as Laffitte who is a little weaker then Doflamingo. The Beast Pirates members were cut horizontally and vertically under Laws ability. Even the pirates with a bounty of 400 million berries were defeated easily in front of him and they were not his opponent even when they all rushed towards him. Here we go. Robins eyes were calm. It has been nearly six years since she came from West Blue as the first person to follow Ross. In these six years, she has experienced numerous practices and bloody battles, encountered Marine Admirals, and fought against various powerful opponents. Now, her strength is not what it used to be. In the case of a one-on-one, her fighting power is inferior to that of the fast-growing Trafalgar Law, but now she has the doppelgnger ability. Although she cannot produce thousands of doppelgnger but creating seven or eight doppelgngers is no problem. These doppelgngers have the same strength as her original body and they can use Armament Haki, every single one of them is enough to fight the elite pirates of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates! What are you all doing? Watching the attacks of the Beast Pirate Regiment being forcibly restrained by the Giant Regiment and Laffitte, Law, and others, the last of the three Disasters, Jack the drought appeared on the shore and showed a trace of bloodlust in his eyes. He took a step toward Robins doppelgnger. With one move the Doppelganger turned into petal and disappeared, even when using the Armament Haki to augment her defense, her doppelganger still failed to block the attack. Kill them all! Jacks voice spread on the battlefield and with a repressed and heart-rending face, he began to rampage on the battlefield, whether it was Law or Laffitte, they were forced to retreat and could not fight. And just when he charged towards the Giant of Sand and broke his sand armor defense with one strike, various bolts of thunderous lightning dropped from the sky. Crackling! Among the thunderbolt arcs, Hajrudin clenched his fists and punched Jack. Jack also punched back and both retreated. Leave him to me! Hajrudin stared at Jack and his expressions were calm, and Road and others saw it and continued to fight with the other pirate of the Beast Pirate group. Of all the crew members of Ross, Law was not the fastest riser, the fastest riser was Thunder Giant Hajrudin, with the help of Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he has now entered the power level of Doflamingo ladder! Who are you? Jack attacked twice but Hajrudin completely blocked him, his eyes filled with blood as he asked him in a deep voice. I amLighting! Hajrudin stood in the thunder light and responded with a cold voice at the same time, the thunder is being wantonly stimulated in his body and the crazy thunder flow spread in his body, so that he was taller than Jacks body and he was becoming more and more huge, emitting the glow of thunder and lightning. 200 million volts, Thors Form! This is the ability that Hajrudin has only recently developed and was directly used by him. Jack looked up at the Thunder Giant Hajrudin, which was tens of meters high. His face changed and he looked a little suppressed, but he still roared and pulled out the scimitars and slammed them into Hajrudins leg. Hajrudin held the empty space with his hands, and an arc of thunder and lightning condensed in his hands. He roared and threw the thunder towards Jack. Bang! The terrifying arc of lightning swept up the coast and some members of the Beast Pirate group, who came too close were left blackened by the lightning, spewing smoke from their mouths and causing casualties within their ranks. Law was also in the range of attack. He did not hesitate to use ROOMs ability to leave the range of lightning strike and told Hajrudin at the same time: The scope of the attack is too big, Hajrudin. Got It. Hajrudin replied and turned to look at Jack. Although Jack has rough skin and thick meat and with the defense he got from the Ancient Zoan Fruit: Model Ancient Mammoth plus his extremely strong Armament Haki, he is very durable. But even with all that, it became impossible for him to remain unscratched under the lightning attack of Hajrudin. He is angry. His eyes are red with anger as he roared and charged towards Hajrudin. However, as a Thunder Giant, Hajrudin not only has a tyrannical attacking power but he also has a speed that is completely inconsistent with his size. He avoids Jacks front charging attack and slammed a lightning strike against Jacks back. However. Jack who has a bounty of a Billion Berries is not easy to deal with, not to mention that he is one of the main pillars of the Beast Pirates as one of the Three Disasters. He is like a skinny and equivalent weak version of Kaido. It doesnt look like he can be defeated in a short time. Hajrudin noticed that Jack was very strong and had a strong defense and he was not suffering from too much injury. He even healed at a certain speed. Hajrudin could not help but slowly open his mouth. It is difficult to kill Jack who is very strong and has a tough defense and Hajrudin is in the process of fighting with him. From time to time, he will come with a large-scale attack or long-range lightning strike. The Beast Pirates members are miserable with these lighting attacks. In addition to the Three Disasters, there are a large number of pirates in the Beast Pirates that have a bounty of more than 340 million Berries. After some started fighting with Laffitte and others, there are still some left. But. The fighting force on Rosss side is extremely flexible, such as Trafalgar Law and Laffitte, or extremely resistant as the giant regiments is able to take the advantage of their large size and power to fight with enemies, but unable to form a victory. Moreover, Shiliew of the Rain, Ficheux Erman, and Hajrudin, respectively, almost all had the upper hand on the Three Disasters, and they were able to make a small effort to deal with other cadres of the Beast Pirates. The situation is in a deadlock. It is extremely difficult for anyone to win or lose in a short time. When the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Beast Pirates struggled with each other, the fight between Ross and Hundred Beast Kaido had already entered the peak state whre both of them are using almost all of their powers and punching each other. Bulky Fist! After avoiding Kaidos frontal attack, Rosss figure flickers to Kaidos rear using Distortion space and he delivers a punch on Kaidos back. On Kaidos back, the dark Armament Haki emerged, which resisted Rosss strike, but the force behind it was still there which caused Kaido to squat forward. Whiz! Ross continued to move forward and slammed into action, while Kaido rolled over and folded his arms in front of him, slamming his legs against Ross as he resisted Rosss attack. Boom! Ross fought back and Armament Haki condensed. After getting hit by Hundred Beast Kaidos attack, Ross, suspended in midair, did not fly directly upside down, but only briefly, before placing his foot on Kaidos chest. Bang! Kaido couldnt avoid it. Under Rosss foot, the earth under his feet was broken like a spider web, and his legs embedded in the sand. After all, Ross was faster than Kaido, and even if Kaido had a top-notch Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, Ross was usually able to attack him ten times before Kaido had a chance to find him. CHAPTER 254 1 DAY AND 1 NIGH It doesnt hurt. Kaidos body jerked, and the earth instantly burst apart as he suddenly jumped up. His huge hand grasped into a fist and he slammed into the air. Rosss figure flashed and he appeared on Kaidos back again by using Distortion space. Boom! Kaido responds in advance by stiffening his attack with a wave of his arm, reaching out with his right hand and grabbing Rosss body. As Kaidos Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Armament Haki are top even among the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, Kaido naturally got adapt to Rosss space movement, although he still cant handle it completely but he doesnt take much time to react. Pa! With one kick, Ross distorts Kaidos hand so that it cant be pulled together. Then he comes up front and punches Kaido in the head. When Kaido saw it, he simply didnt evade and let the attack hit him. When Ross attacked, his palms slammed from the left and right, like a fly. Buzz!! Ross punched Kaidos nose and the terrifying power of distortion broke Kaidos Armament Haki, causing his nose to be hit hard and blood to burst out. At the same time, Rosss body also appeared in the middle of Kaidos palms. Even in the final moments of him getting out of there by using Distortion space, he was still affected by the attack. Kaidos attack is not as strong as the original attack of Akainu, Kizaru, and CP0 Chief, but because his Armament Haki is more powerful and Kizaru and Akainu, it reaches the top level. Even though it cant break the space, it can directly fight with the power of distortion and bring the distortion to a level again. In this regard. Ross is not very surprised. If the space class ability can be used to defeat Kaido, then two Admirals would have teamed up to suppress Kaido and then they would casually use Bluenos Door-Door Fruit to open the door and close the door with air, cutting Kaidos body in half but thats not possible. This would obviously be not so easy. Although Kaido cant break the space, he can directly fight against the power of distortion with his top-level Armament Haki, so that the Distortion Space is re-smoothed and the playing ground become levelled where the space abilities do not hold much of an advantage over him. Kchkch! Appearing not far away, Ross stretches his body, crackling all over his bones, and looks at Kaido with flat eyes. Your attacks are the same, it doesnt hurt. Kaido is not as aggressive in his attacks. Although he is pretty scary with his ultimate Armament Haki, Ross is also pretty much equipped with the high-level Armament Haki, plus the fact that it takes a certain amount of strength to get past the Wall of Distortion, plus his Tenacious talent and Rock talents are most useful in this scenario. Kaido also noticed Rosss strength at this time. Ross has a similar speed to Akagami (Red Hair) but also has a much stronger body than Akagami (Red Hair). His attacks are also extremely powerful. His Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Armament Haki are at the top level and his Haoshoku Haki is also not weaker than his. Ross has the advantage in speed and slightly better attack power. And his advantage is that he has the strength of an immortal body, which can withstand Rosss attack completely, even if he is hit by a blow on his weaker spots and he gets a nosebleed, he can instantaneously heal from it. I havent had such a Battle in a long time. Kaido doesnt think about winning or losing anymore, but instead, hes got a rare burst of energy as he charged towards Ross and continuing to punch Ross. It doesnt matter who wins or loses. The most important thing is to have a good fight with Ross, thats enough! Me too Its been a long time since Ive had such a tough opponent. Ross watched the oncoming Hundred Beast Kaido, and as he punched him, he slowly opened his mouth to reply and continued his fight with Kaido. With the Distortion of space and the direct confrontation with Kaido, the Battle between the two of them lasted from morning to evening, and they entered the depths of the island from the coast. There was still no victory or loss, or even no advantage or disadvantage. Some surviving barbarians on the island were shivering in the distance. Even the Leader among them had no resistance to the power of Ross and Hundred Beast Kaido and fear and horror were plastered on his face as he shivered. This little power is too weak! Hundred Beast Kaido resisted Rosss punch, his head turned a little to the left, then he jerked his head and punched Ross. Ross snorted and utilized distortion space. With a sudden twist, Ross avoids Kaidos fist, to the right of it, and slams down with a backhand. Your speed is too slow. Boom! Kaido waved his arm and blocked Rosss blow. Ross clenched his fists and the power of distortion condensed on top of his fists as he rushed towards Kaido and launched violent rainstorm-like attacks and continues to punch him again and again. Kaido roared, confronting Ross face-to-face and punching him with the same ferocity and speed causing the whole earth to cause violent tremors. It was as if the entire island was shattering. After dozens of consecutive punches, Ross gives a loud gulp and flees, catching Kaido on a break and kicking him hard in the chest. Boom! Kaido suddenly flew upside down, smashing through the forest and flying back for nearly a hundred meters before coming to a stop. There was a trace of blood on his mouth, and a blue-purple footprint appeared on his chest, but as time passed, the footprint quickly became shallower and shallower until it disappeared completely. Ah cant die. Kaido stood up again, wiped the blood from his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood-tinged spit, and touched the back of his head as if he were still at the battle. He slammed his legs and ran across the ground, and the whole person rushed into the ropes again. It was difficult for Ross to make a fatal attack on Kaido, even if he made an heavy attack and hit Kaido on the head with a heavy hammer, he would at best stun Kaido briefly. In turn. It is almost impossible for Kaido to seriously hurt Ross. With Rosss current defense, unless Kaido caught him off-guard and hit him in the back with an all-out attack, it would only be possible for him to cause Ross to spit out blood but not hurt him badly. Coupled with the resilience of Tenacious Talent, he is no worse than the current Kaido, so Kaido cant do anything to Ross. The battle between the two was almost a stamina contest. Simple talking about stamina, Ross is still inferior to Kaido, but Battle is not like running a marathon. Ross punches Kaido on the chest and damages him. It takes Stamina to recover this damage. One day and one night passed. The fight between the two does not see any results. As for the coastline, Out of the Beast Pirates and the Ghost Hand Pirates, only three Disasters and Shiliew of the Rain are able to fight and everyone else has a short pause because of stamina consumption. In this kind of intensive Battle, Laffitte, Law, and others do not have the stamina that can last them a day or night, not to mention the injuries they received in the fight. Shiliew of the Rain and others are better, but after a day and night of fighting, they are also taking a temporary rest. After the two sides retired to a certain distance, they were watching the fight between Ross and Kaido. Their fight was going on for a full day and night now, but instead of becoming weaker, the battle between Ross and Kaido became more and more intense. That Ghost Hand Ross was able to take on Lord Kaido at this level After all, the opponent is the acknowledged Fifth Emperor. Someone screamed: But, except for the Whitebeard, no one is the Kaido Samas opponent. Keep your eyes on that Shiliew of the Rain and others, dont let them interfere with Kaidos fight. Yes, keep your eyes upon the Ghost Hand Pirates. One of the Three Disasters sat cross-legged and slowly said. They had a fierce battle with the Ghost Hand Pirates for a day. The final outcome was that the Beast Pirates lost more than a dozen people and dozens of people were injured, and there wasnt anyone dead at the other party. They will continue to fight, the Ghost Hand Pirates will certainly have casualties, but they are also bound to suffer heavy casualties. Then there is Kaido, there is absolutely no need for them to worry about him. As long as Kaido defeats Ross, the Ghost Hand Pirates will surely collapse! CHAPTER 255 TERRIFYING KAIDO Ho ho ho! I havent seen Captain fight so hard in a long time. Laffitte stands at the top of a tree, looking out over the open battlefield between Ross and Kaido, deep in the island. His enemy is Kaido after all. Law took a sip of water and replied in silence. Ficheux Erman shrugged and said: It looks like were not going to be able to finish this fight in two or three days. The Beast Pirates guys arent going to wait two or three days. So what? Shiliew of the Rain wiped the second generation Ghost Blade with a cloth and said: They are just extra heads on a chopping board. In this battle, Shiliew of the Rain had a claw mark on his chest. The wound was not deep, and it did not affect his battle proficiency. It was simply wrapped up. Laffittes clothes were broken but he did not receive any serious injuries, and the others were mostly fine except for Metal Giant, who had a laceration on his chest and abdomen. Metal Giants wound was also caused by the fact that he had rushed to the rescue Robin after she came under siege during the fight. The wound has been stitched up and with Gerths Heal-Heal Fruit ability, It is already close to healing withing this half-day. At the moment. Its night on the island. In the darkness, Ross and Hundred Beast Kaido were still engaged in fierce confrontation. In the face of the most top power in the sea, night and day had little influence on them. Observation Haki was almost used to perceive and move in the fight, with a low visual dependence. Distortion, Restraint! In the darkness, after he and Kaido twist and land, a burst of power of distortion pours into the earth with a step, and the sand and stones surge wildly, twisting towards Kaidos legs and binding them. And in the next moment, Ross rushed toward Kaido. Boring little trick. Kaido is arrogant but he has the strength to be arrogant, he pulled his legs and the distortion area of about ten meters around him was blown up and he punched Ross and crashed into the air with Ross. The two fists interlocked and Rosss face remained unchanged. He stepped in the void and the whole man leaped toward the head of Kaido. Ground vine strangle! Bang Long! With the explosion of the power of distortion, the earth surges crazily around thousands of meters, and huge blocks of sand and stones burst into the air and fly towards Kaido. There is a power of distortion in the sand, which may not hurt Kaido, but the impact of these sand blocks is enough to make Kaidos feet squat. Ooooooo! Faced with numerous sandstones that were hitting him in all directions, Kaido howled and instantly blasted the sandstones. But at this moment, Ross rushed out of the darkness and hit Kaido on his chest. Kaido had no time to counterattack and was forced to cross his arms and block the coming attack in front of him. Under the Ross attack, his body swayed slightly and he stepped back toward the rear. Bang! A huge sandstone with a diameter of hundreds of meters came and slammed into Kaidos left shoulder. Kaido did not get hit, but his entire body tilted to the right, revealing an opening. Without hesitation, Ross pulled his sword out of its sheath and plunged it into Kaidos back. Buzz!! The power of distortion is condensed on the blade. Kaido utilized his Armament Haki to resist the attack and Rosss blade created sparks when it came in contact with Kaidos body and it did cause some damage. Huh? ! Kaido bellowed and tried to grab him with his sword. Without the slightest hesitation, Ross pulled his sword back decisively. With one step back, he was already tens of meters away. MMMM!!! The wound on Kaidos lower back overflowed with the blood but it quickly became crusted and detached at the speed visible to the naked eye, eventually healing completely. As one of Yonk (Four Emperors), he has lost many times because he has singled out other Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates and Marines. He has suffered many sword injuries and has been pierced by Akagami (Red Hair). Even Akagami (Red Hair) couldnt kill him. Is that all there is? Is there anything better? ! Show me something more interesting! Being stabbed by Ross, Kaido didnt get angry but instead licked his mouth, showing a heart-rending expression with a horrible smile, and he suddenly charged into Ross again. Ding ding! Ross is shaking from left and right, holding the Cursed Blade Murasame, constantly resisting Kaidos attack. The Distortion space needs to fully stimulate the power of distortion. It consumes a lot of stamina. Ross does not use distortion space on all of his attacks on Kaido as it will only waste his stamina. Fighting Kaido is not the same as fighting Akagami (Red Hair). If youre dealing with Kaido, its no big deal in terms of the Armament Haki, physique, and resilience of Ross, but if hes dealing with Akagami (Red Hair), he would have to be very careful, because he would be dealing with a swordsman, a single mistake and a single hit, thats all it would take to end his life. Boom! Kaidos fist kept falling, and finally, with a Bang, he broke Rosss power of distortion and knocked him back a few meters. Its my turn. Rosss feet stepped on the ground that created cracks for dozens of meters, but his face remained the same and he calmly raised his head to look at Kaido. His confrontation with Kaido till now consists of him using the power of distortion on Kaido and caused him any amount of damage that he could and then Kaido will burst out with his power and Ross would conserve his strength while defending himself. It was better for him to have this kind of rotational fight. If Kaido continuously bursts out with all his power then this fight would have concluded a long time ago as no one knows what terrible physical power exists within Kaidos vast body. Whiz! As Ross stepped out, he suddenly reached Kaidos legs, where the blade of his sword struck him with sharp precision. Kaido didnt have the slightest fear of this attack as his Observation Haki had already caught Rosss movements. He immediately attached a black-painted Armament Haki to his legs and kicked Ross. Bang! Sparks are splashing. The tip of Rosss sword cut through the Armament Haki, leaving a bloody mark on Kaidos leg, but it couldnt penetrate his tough muscle and hurt his hamstring. Since Ross was the first to take the shot, Kaido caught him in action and kicked him sideways, slowing him down by a beat and weakening him by a beat. Whiz! After piercing Kaidos leg skin and leaving a wound, Ross didnt pause. His figure flickered as he avoided Kaidos huge palm. He came to Kaidos back, holding the hilt of his sword with both hands. With a sudden burst of power of distortion, he steps forward. Distortion, Spatial Cut! CHAPTER 256 SPATIAL CU ! Just the next moment. Rosss figure suddenly appeared on Kaidos back and at the same time, a terrifying Distortion arc appeared in the void, connecting the two points that Ross crossed. This Distortion arc runs through Kaidos chest and abdomen and then bursts open. Sii! Sii! Sii! The power of distortion leaves a white scar on Kaidos chest and belly, and the tiny tearing sound comes from inside him. This is what Ross has figured out in this fight as he continues to use the ability of Space Distortion, this sword attack needs a large amount of power storage time, but once it is displayed, it must pass through two points. Because it is instantaneous cut in space, it is almost like a man id passing through Kaidos body with a sword! Zi! Countless tears appeared on Kaidos body that seemed to be broken by the edge of the sword, When the sound of sword edge ceased, Kaidos body standing still and his mouth began to drip blood down to the ground below. Kaido looked at his chest and abdomen, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes, not understanding how Ross managed to get the attack inside him. The attacks done on his outside body does not matter, all of them are resisted by his body, but the attack inside his body is not trivial, even if the scope is very small, but the power of distortion twisted his internal organs together and cracks appeared everywhere on them. If the power of this move got any bigger, it would be very dangerous for him. Pity Ross stabbed his sword to the ground, panting slightly. Although it is not clear what is happening in Kaidos body but it is possible to guess what Kaidos body is going through by seeing the blood spilling from his mouth. Unfortunately, this is a slow build-up attack and the opportunity is not easy to find to use this attack and the current attack range is too small. The palm-sized area of ??Kaidos body that was just struck was far from fatal and in front of Kaidos massive Body, it can not be even considered as a serious injury. Kaidos body is certainly different from that of a human being, but to what extent, even now, Ross only has a rough estimate of his strength, which cannot be accurately determined. If he was still a normal person, breaking a head or heart would be enough to kill Kaido, which means that with a little more precision Ross could have killed Kaido. But. If Kaidos body is similar to that of Marcos phoenix immortal Fruit, not to mention the heart and head, everything can be regenerated, this is the world of Devil Fruit, any magical abilities are possible. Naturally. This hit is almost as serious as the total amount of damage Ross inflicted on Kaido before this. It is a tremendous drain on Kaidos stamina. After all, no one can restore their wounds indefinitely, not even Marcos fruit can do that. This little trick had a bit of power. Kaido quickly recovered from his internal wounds, he forgot what had happened and he looked up at Ross and opened his mouth, saying those words in a cold tone. Its a pity that you couldnt hit any key organs. Ross had been overcharged and he was a little spent and Kaido had been injured and had not able to attack, but Kaido had recovered and he had recovered from his injuries. The key? There is no such thing. Kaido snorted and suddenly charged into Ross, and launched a storm of attack. Although his preference is suicide, it does not mean that he wants to die in Rosss hands. He likes to commit suicide because no one can kill him, even he himself, but if there is a force that can kill him. Then, he will not ask for death even if he has a problem with his brain. That kind of death is meaningless. Unless Ross can beat him in one on one combat and kill him! Clang! Clang! Under Kaidos storm-like attacks, Ross continued to retreat. In the process of parrying, he also stimulated the power of distortion, causing the earth to continually collapse, condensing a piece of sand and stone and smashing into Kaido, blocking Kaidos fierce offensive. In a flash, the two of them hit a distance of 1,000 meters, leaving the island in a mess. Under the great power and domination of Ross and Kaido, the dominant beasts, such as the silverback giant ape and others, almost ran away, hardly daring to look at them. After Kaidos continuous attack, a heavy punch hit Rosss blade and sparked flew as Ross got slammed into the Underground. The ground cracked open and cracks like spider webs generally spread in all directions. Utilizing the power of distortion and Armament Haki to resist Kaidos punch, Rosss arms became slightly numb, but the problem is not serious, and the power of distortion in his body has been increased. Distortion, Spatial Cut! Ross once again concentrated his power and hold the hilt of the blade in both hands and rushed out of the Underground. However. Kaido, as the king of one-on-one fights, will not remain a constant target. One of the things that Kaido learned was that it didnt take much notice, and the other was that Ross used his power to create opportunities. This time it was not so easy to hit. Rosss figure suddenly broke the Void and appeared tens of meters away, but Kaido avoided the spatial path that Ross had cut, only missing the edge of his shoulder. MMMM!!! A Distortion crack appeared in the void and disappeared quickly. Kaidos shoulder is attached to the dark Armament Haki, with a slight distortion of the muscles due to the penetration of the power of distortion with spatial movement. With a cold face, Kaido raised his hand and rubbed it against his shoulder, where the tendon quickly returned to its elastic, rubbery nature, and Kaidos terrifying resilience was revealed. A better opportunity must be created to use this trick again. Looking at Kaido, Rosss eyes flashed. While this move can move across space and is incredibly fast, its forward movement gives opponents a chance to dodge. Although he injured Kaido, he also consumes a lot of his energy. It is, after all, an explosion of power. Whiz! Kaido didnt stop too much this time. After seeing the Ross attack and seeing that Ross was breathing heavily, he decisively rushed forward, wanting to beat Ross. However, he is not very strong in attack, and Rosss physique and recovery ability are also extraordinary. He cant beat Ross as Ross can move instantaneously with his Space Distortion and can avoid Kaidos attacks. In the process of evading, Ross is calmly judging his current position. During the battle with Kaido, he was in the Spirit Heart state and remained absolutely calm, even though he was in a fierce battle with Kaido. Even though he couldnt judge every move correctly and most of them were instinctive, his thoughts remained clear throughout the Battle. Close to them. Finally. After another collision with Kaido, Ross flew backward and landed dozens of meters away, his eyes flashing with a cold light. Lets do this! CHAPTER 257 UNITE ONE TO STRIKE It is natural to treat Hundred Beast Kaido with a certain amount of respect. One cannot just think about a single person alone, but he had to use his teammates who can make a difference. Sii! Almost without waiting for Rosss signal, a burst of cold ice sword energy suddenly broke through the air and slammed into Hundred Beast Kaido. And at the same time that the slash came, a bullet came with a loud sonic bang, which seemed a little bit slower, but it was a lot faster than the sword attack and both of these attacks arrived at the same time. Shiliew of the Rain! Ficheux Erman! In the process of confrontation with Kaido, Ross led Kaido in the direction of Shiliew of the Rain and others, and he finally fell into the attack range of Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman and others! Huh? ! Kaido grimaces but doesnt get angry when he senses someone is interfering with his Battle, this had happened against the other Yonkos more than once before. His arms crossed in front of him, blocking the sword energy and the bullet that came. Bang! The cold sword energy burst, leaving a little frost on Kaidos arm, and the bullet was also fried and smashed, leaving a subtle white spot on Kaidos arm. Defying Shiliew of the Rain and FicheuxErmans strike, Kaido doesnt step back and the pride of one of the Yonk (Four Emperors) was displayed! Thunder Strike! And just as Kaido blocked Shiliew of the Rain and the Ficheux Erman attacks, the third attack came down. It was a terrifying torrent of wail electricity that ran right across Kaidos body. Crackling! Kaidos hair flew up under the lightning strike, and for a time his hair was scattered but Hajrudins Thunder didnt leave any burnt wounds on him! Bathing in the thunder, Hes like a god! However, just as the thunder arc was flashing, Rosss figure flashed and appeared directly above Kaido. He did not perform the Spatial Cut, because there was no time to save energy, he directly concentrated a pure power of distortion on the sword edge and chopped Fiercely at Kaidos head. Due to the triple efforts of the members of the Ghost Hand Pirates, Kaido was unable to parry Rosss blow and he was unable to move his body and was forced to tilt his head to one side. Clang! In the shower of sparks, Rosss sword edge cut deep between Kaidos shoulder and neck, several inches below the bone! This body is a little too hard Ficheux Erman appeared in the treetop not far away, looking at Kaidos body with a heavy look in his eyes. It was a blow from Ross, and in this case of all-out power attack, he had not able to cut off Kaidos arm. Shiliew of the Rain holds the second generation Ghost Blade, sipping a cigar and he said with a flash of light in his eyes: If it was so easy for him to be killed, He wouldnt be Hundred Beast Kaido. I once participated in the execution of Kaido, and those Marine Admiral teamed up with each other and still failed to kill him. It sounds too exaggerated. Laffitte shrugged and looks at Kaido without a hint of hidden fear. It sounds exaggerated, but judging from their joint attack and Rosss sword, Im afraid the truth is similar to what Shiliew of the Rain said. Ahhh! Kaido bellowed and tightened his muscles to squeeze the Cursed Blade Murasame which caused the blade to not penetrate further in his body and he attacked Ross with his other hand. Ross gave up his intention to destroy Kaidos shoulder blade, Ross whipped out two-handed Blade Murasame, avoiding Kaidos grasp. It was no small feat to be caught by Kaido, but just as Kaido could not be cut through his skull in an instant, he could not be caught by Kaido. Minus one hundred. Shiliew of the Rain took a breath, and the cigar he was holding in his mouth suddenly turned into ice, and the burning cigar butt also went out instantly, forming a layer of frost. He held the second generation Ghost Blade and took advantage of the opportunity as he rushed toward Kaido, trying to strike Kaidos heart. But. Almost at this moment, a sharp crack in the air came from not far away. Ross and Kaidos fight are closely watched by Shiliew of the Rain and others. The people of the Beast Pirates are naturally watching the fight at this moment. When Ross and Kaido are found moving in the direction of Shiliew of the Rain and others, they immediately set off and rushed over. They did not have any time to block Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman and others attack and the second attack chance will not give a chance. Kaido came with them this time. It was obviously not a plan to be singled out. They couldnt let Shiliew of the Rain and other join forces with Ross to besiege Kaido. Bang! Shiliew of the Rain was blocked in midair. Your opponent is me, Shiliew of the Rain! Get your guns out of my face then roll over and die! The Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates arrived first and went straight to Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman, followed by numerous cadres and the beasts, and they roared and attacked. A moment ago, Kaido was attacked by Shiliew of the Rain, which hurt Kaidos shoulder. They were worried about being punished by Kaido. At this time, under the eyes of Kaido, they all desperately attacked without holding back their strength. Rainstorm cuts. What Ross has just cast is not Spatial Cut, there would be no time to do any adjustment after the outbreak of the aftereffects so in order to avoid Kaido after catching him, he flickers to Kaido back immediately, in the blade in his hands fell like violent Rainstorm onslaught. Bang! Bang! Bang! Every attack that landed on Kaidos back produced a Bang or dull thud as if a thousand cannonballs had struck Kaido, which tottered and fell forward. In the process of falling, the wound on Kaidos shoulder gradually healed. He held his arms around the ground and rolled over, slamming his elbows toward Ross. Whiz! Without saving the power of distortion, Ross avoids Kaidos elbow-knock and, before Kaidos shoulder is fully recovered, he delivered another burst of power of distortion against his chest. After retreating several dozen meters, Kaido finally recovered from his shoulder injury, he bellowed and swung his fist at Ross. Your strength is getting smaller and smaller, Ghost Hand Boy! Now. After nearly two days and a night of intense fighting, Rosss stamina has been depleted, and although his normal stamina has not decreased but when it did, it was obviously inadequate. Its enough to beat you! Ross opened his eyes with a cold look in them. He judged the consumption of Kaido to be about the same, because there was a distinct feeling in his heart that Kaidos stamina was not as strong as it had been, and it was obviously that he did not have infinite stamina. So many attacks that caused so many injuries, it is impossible for them to have no effect. Both of their Stamina has been depleted by more than half, which means that the final victory of this Battle is getting closer! CHAPTER 258 REINFORCEMEN Duka Island. The battle between Ross and Hundred Beast Kaido has been going on for two days and nights. The news of the encounter, which Morgan had telegraphed a day earlier, had not been written as a press release, but only as Underground news, spreading through the dark Underground world. All parties have learned the news of the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Beast Pirates fighting in the Duka Island. At the same time, they were also nervous. In particular, some of the forces affiliated with Kaido. However, However, no one was trying to get to the Island of duka where the fight was taking place. The fight between the two emperors was not easy to watch, and it was already two days ago. The first line of news is firmly locked in Morgans hands, and Morgan has made a fortune from it, and there are not many people who are concerned about the battle between Ghosts and Beasts. In addition to Morgan. Marine and World Government also received the intelligence report from Duka Island in the first day. As for how they received it so quickly, it is also very simple. Most of the news birds in the sky belong to World Government subordinates and some of those news birds carry Image Den Den Mushi on them. Although they couldnt get too close and caused the picture to become blurred but it can be used to judge the current situation of Duka Island, the entire Marine Headquarters has entered the highest preparation and they may dispatch their forces at any time. Bang! Bang! Ross and Hundred Beast Kaido continue to fight. The entire island has been beaten into a mess, and there is hardly any good place left here. The animals living on this island were also caught in the center of the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Beast Pirates and even though they are very strong, they are nothing compared to Shiliew of the Rain or the Three Disasters. For Ross and Hundred Beast Kaido, their first battle was not over, but for Shiliew of the Rain and Three Disasters, it was their second battle. This time. The Beast Pirates gradually gained the upper hand by virtue of the number of people. People like Shiliew of the Rain are difficult to deal with human tactics, but Robin and Laffitte are not strong enough to ignore the influence of human tactics. Once Robin and others are suppressed, it will immediately affect the 300 million bounty elite pirates who have the qualification to intervene i the battle of the Three Disasters! Such a layer of influence will eventually lead to the slope of the winners and losers. The power of the Ghost Hand Pirates is still too weak in the middle and lower layers. But. Despite gaining the advantage, the Beast Pirates were unable to defeat Shiliew of the Rain and others within a short time, let alone support Kaido and kill Ross. To intervene in the Battle between Ross and Kaido, the person intervening must be at least at the level of the Three Disasters, otherwise anyone weaker then them will be instantly killed. Sure enough, they are still too strong In the process of confronting Kaido, Ross did not completely ignore the battlefield where Shiliew of the Rain and others were located. He noticed that they fell into a disadvantage situation and could not help but whisper. If the Ghost Hand Pirates has the full strength in their middle and lower levels, the situation at this time would have been their superiority, or if they had another member at the level of Shiliew of the Rain, then they would be able to instantly equalize all the disadvantages and even occupy a great advantage. Boom! Distracted by the battlefield of Shiliew of the Rain and others, Ross was hit by Hundred Beast Kaido punch and flew backward, breaking several giant trees before coming to a halt. You were distracted. Kaido said with a hint of irritation in his voice. Ross is fighting against him and he is still distracted and not paying attention to the fight which made him angry. The annoyed Kaido began to explode, his huge fist slamming on the ground, and the whole earth suddenly fell apart, creating an abyss of cracks all the way to Ross. Whiz! Ross jumped into the air. He has very little stamina left, and Kaido in front of him is probably about the same. Ross really wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill two of the Three Disasters, but once he starts, Kaido will not just let him do whatever he wants. The Three Disasters cant stop him and similarly, Shiliew of the Rain and others cant stop Kaido. The deterrent power of Yonk (Four Emperors) is here. Otherwise, Kizaru can go to any of the Yonk (Four Emperors) territory every day, throwing a Yasakani no Magatama(Comma Jewel of Eight Shaku), and the power of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates will dwindle and the Marine would be able to take care of all the pirates. Deterrence is relative. Now Ross has the only advantage on this side, Gerth has not yet started and her Heal-Heal Fruit can not only cure the wound but also restore little bot of stamina when the stamina is exhausted so that people can regain their peak strength in a short time. This is enough to reverse the battle, but once forced to use this ability, it means that both sides will have serious deaths and injuries! Distortion Fist! After avoiding Kaidos attack, Ross came to Kaidos back and punched. Kaido backhanded, his fists colliding with Rosss in the air, and Ross fell back ten meters, Kaido staggering back two steps. While Ross and Kaido continued their Battle and Ross tried to finish off Kaido before Shiliew of the Rain and others had a major problem, several ships under the flag of the Beast Pirate regiment arrived at Duka Islandisland. The reinforcements arrived! Kaido made a sudden decision in dealing with Ross and he didnt bring his entire naval force and only brought the pirates in the nearby area and the rest of his force was to arrive later. Now two days and nights had passeed and the fight is still going on which gave the Beast Pirates enough time to arrive here. Reinforcements? Shiliew of the Rain stepped on Gepp (Moonwalk) and was suspended in midair, and saw the ship of the Beast Pirates that had arrived on the shoreline. There was a trace of blood in his mouth and his eyes were filled with cold light. The reinforcements of the Beast Pirates will not have any pirates of the Three Disaster caliber, but there are still many pirates with a bounty of one or two hundred million. The situation on their side is not favorable. Once the other partys reinforcements come over, the situation is bound to turn sharply. When the time comes. Im afraid well have to rely on Gerths powers. Shiliew of the Rain is confident that he would be able to kill one of the Three Disasters, but the problem is that after killing the other party, it would be difficult for him to retreat, and he will likely die there. Reinforcement Ross also noticed that the reinforcement of the Beast Pirates had appeared and various thoughts flashed in his mind. He couldnt help but take a deep breath and a decision came to his mind. He watched the Hundred Beast Kaido panting slightly and burst out with the remaining power of distortion in his body. Kaido noticed the sudden surge of power in Ross but did not show any fear, the powerful and overbearing looking Ross, rushed forward. Bang! The disproportionate body of the two men collided in the air. Ross took the power of distortion to the limit. He didnt try to kill Kaido with the tricks at this moment, but he used every remaining power and send it to the most useful place at this time. CHAPTER 259 VICTORY AND DEFEA (TN- Gerth-> Gerd) A sword cut, hammer strike, Distortion space, teleport steps In the state of Spirit Heart, Rosss final burst of power strikes were almost flawless, and there was no trace of flaws left for Kaido. After dozens of moves, he finally grasped the situation with speed. Bang! Bang! Bang! The Cursed Blade Murasame was shaken out by Kaido, but Ross didnt care and didnt fly over to pick it up again, he rushed towards Kaido and started punching him without any break. Under the series of continuous strikes that Ross formed with his speed, it was difficult for Kaido to form an effective counterattack method which forced him to continuously parry and dodge and continued to retreat under his feet. No moves. Every attack is filled with a pure power of distortion, each punch is on the spot and hit Kaidos body, Ross attacked with a stormy Rainstorm offensive, suppressing Kaido and his last the last punch caused Kaido to fly backward. Instead of stopping, Ross bellowed as Kaido flies backward, squeezing out all the remaining power of distortion from his body. With one step, he catches up with the Kaido. It was difficult for Kaido to make any counterattack at the moment, so it was only possible for him to deploy Armament Haki fully, with his body curled up and his arms folded in front of it, trying to form a defensive position. One punch, two punches, three punches Rosss fist is constantly falling on Kaidos body and the black-colored Armament Haki on Kaidos body began to sound like a drum. The ninth punch the tenth punch! With the last attack filled with all of Rosss remaining power of distortion, it smashed on Kaidos chest, completely breaking the other sides Armament Haki, causing Kaido to spurt out blood, the whole person crossed an arc and flew backward. Wherever he went, whether it is trees or rocks, they were all broken, and he couldnt stop himself from flying backward. Whats that? Look Out! On the battlefield where Shiliew of the Rain was located, the people noticed that Kaido flew from a distance. They were stunned at first, and then their faces changed dramatically, and they retreated toward both sides. There is a pirate who couldnt escape and the pirate with the bounty of over 100 million berries was smashed by Kaidos body. It is like a pedestrian being hit a truck, and the bones in his body got smashed as he screamed. Kaido Sama! Noticing that the figure was Kaido, a number of pirates form the Beast Pirates showed an expression of surprise. Finally. Hundred Beast Kaido flew out of the island and accidentally hit a ship under the flag of the Beast Pirates, and the ship was suddenly broken and shattered. At the same time, he finally stopped flying backward and fall into the sea. There was silence. How Three Disasters from the Beast Pirates and many other pirates looked at the scene and their faces changed dramatically. Their boss, Hundred Beast Kaido, was beaten and sent flying into the sea without any further noise. In other words, Kaido lost to Ghost Hand Ross? How is this possible! There is a trace of disbelief on everyones face as they believed that no one in the world today can beat Kaido in a one-on-one situation except Whitebeard! The Beast Pirates, which originally occupied the upper hand, all paused at the same time and got distracted. Shiliew of the Rain and others naturally would not let go of this golden opportunity and they all tried their best to suppress the Beast Pirates. Go! Getting caught off guard, several pirates from the Beast Pirates who had the bounty of two or three hundred million berries got killed, the rest of the pirates woke up from their stunned state at this time like a dream and they knew that they had lost the war and fled to the coastline. The Beast Pirates retreated! ! Shiliew of the Rain and the others ran after them for a while, then they stopped one after another. All of them were panting violently, including Robin, who was covered with blood and bruises. This is Did we win? Ficheux Erman gasps violently with a sweat stain on his forehead and a bloody claw mark on his back, deep in the bone and he was badly injured. Looks like it. Trafalgar Law took a deep breath and managed to hold his breath. He had a wound on his abdomen, which he did not know what it had pierced and it was very serious. Laffitte was a little better, but there were also a few blood marks on his body. He looked at the direction of the Beast Pirates retreat and suddenly turned around: Captain? Hundred Beast Kaido smashed through the battlefield and destroyed a ship that had just arrived under the flag of the Beast Pirates, but Ross did not come. Robin lightly glimpsed and her face changed, saying: Gerd! Yes. Gerd responded by sprinkling a healing dandelion on Ficheux Erman and the others, giving them some relief while sprinting in the direction where Kaido came from. Across a distance of several kilometers, Gerd and Robin saw Ross in a ruin. At this moment, Ross is holding the Cursed Blade Murasame, which he had just picked up, and he was gasping heavily with a trace of blood in his mouth and there were some dry blood marks on his body. Captain! Gerd came forward. Ross waved at Robin and Gerd and said, Im fine. Im just short on stamina. Did that Kaido guy got up? After the final attack on Kaido, Rosss Stamina and Haki were thoroughly bottomed out, and even using Observation Haki to continued to perceive got tough for him. Robin saw that Ross was fine and she was relived and told Ross. Broke a ship and fell into the sea without coming out. Well, his situation seems about the same as mine. Ross gradually stopped breathing heavily. Gerd stepped forward and put her hands in the air and a strange glow emerged from her hand, falling to Ross and wrapping Ross in it. This is the power of Heal-Heal Fruit. Hiss!! Rosss sour and weak body, under the cover of this strange light, felt cool and he gradually recovered a small amount of stamina. This healing effect can only be used once for a short time. It cannot restore stamina or damage indefinitely. How do you feel? Gerd whispered to Ross after the twilight had cleared. Not bad. Ross gave Gerd a thumbs up, his Observation Haki spread out and covered the battlefield in the distance, and he noticed that all the people of the Beast Pirates had retreated to the shore. Robin tore off a piece of clothing and simply wrapped a wound on his shoulder and said, Shall we pursue them? With Gerd and her ability of Heal-Heal Fruit, they still have the power to go after the Beast Pirates even though they were badly injured. Ross is trying to affirm Robins question and go to the coast to chase the Beast Pirates, but in the next moment, his Observation Haki perceives something else. So here they are On the other side of the island, there is also a ship docked. Rosss Observation Haki could only detect the general shape of the ship, not Battleship, but a regular sailboat, but that was not the point. The point is that there are several familiar people on the ship. We dont have to chase the Beast Pirates, there is a guy who is looking for death and he is coming here. Ross converges on the Observation Haki and saves his stamina before saying calmly, and a cold light flashed through his eyes. There can be no mistake. The few breaths he has just felt arethe highest level of World Government intelligence. CP0! CHAPTER 260 KILLING OF CP0 Duka Island. Kilometers away in the sky. The head of the big news agency, Morgan and two of his men had not slept for days, but there was no sign of sleepiness on their faces. Incredible. The Beast Pirates were repelled back! Morgan put down the telescope in his hand and there was a shock in his eyes. Although the Ghost Hand Pirates have created countless miracles, he was more inclined towards the Beast Pirates winning this war. After all, Kaidos existence as an undead monster that countless people fear is not just empty talk. But now. The one that was defeated was the Beast Pirates! Although the Ghost Hand Pirates suffered from injuries but the situation of the Beast Pirates is similar! Being able to repel the Beast Pirates means that the Ghost Hand Pirates have completely stabilized their position as the Fifth Emperor, and the situation has completely overturned in the New World Yonk (Four Emperors) pattern! But Master Morgan, they are in trouble. That is the government! Morgans two subordinates suddenly opened their mouths nervously, as they saw a new situation. They were paying attention to Duka Island and the ordinary sailing ship that arrived at Duka Island could not escape their observation. At first, they did not care about them, but when the people on the sailboat came down and boarded the island, they became vaguely aware of them as they recognized them. Huh? Morgans face also changed. He picked up the telescope and looked at the line that went deep into the Duka Island and went straight to the location of Ross and others. His pupil was slightly shrunk. That isCP0! Is the government going to step in? It looks like the Ghost Hand Pirates pose an unprecedented threat to the government right now. This is the battlefield of the Beast Pirates and the Ghost Hand Pirates. If the Ghost Hand Pirates are annihilated by the government in their weakened state, Kaido will not be happy afterward, he will be furious. Although there are constant conflicts between Yonk (Four Emperors) and almost all of them have a default principle, that is to never allow the Marines or the government to interfere in their confrontation! Hmm. It seems that they are determined to do this. Morgans eyes flickered as he noticed that instead of slowing down, the CP0 crowd accelerated and charged towards the resting ground of the Ghost Hand Pirates. At this time, the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Beast Pirates are all exhausted and almost everyone is injured, and they are at the limit of their physical strength. The situation of the Ghost Hand Pirates will be extremely dangerous if CP0 attacks them now! I dont know if the Ghost Hand Pirates can safely withdraw. Morgan muttered in his heart. On the island. CP0 Chief wears a mask, and ??leads the Vice Chief and three captains, five in all, to the location of the Ghost Hand Pirates. This time they have two missions, one is to recapture the heart of tenryubito Mjosgard, the other is to do their best to destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates, especially Ghost Hand Ross, they can kill him directly on the spot, there is no need to arrest and bring them to trial. Right ahead. Sensing that they were getting closer, CP0 Chief spoke quietly, saying, Be prepared, even if they and the Best Pirates are hurt, dont be careless! Dont worry, Chief. Its really unbelievable that they were able to repel the Beast Pirate, but they couldnt have done it without paying a heavy price. Next to him, the Captain and Vice Chief opened their mouths. Everyone here is proficient in Observation Haki and they can perceive the situation of the members of the Ghost Hand Pirates. It is obvious that they are either injured or their stamina is exhausted. Even if this is a Yonk (Four Emperors) level pirate group, they will be too easy to destroy after they had fought with the Beast Pirates and they are injured! Whiz! Whiz! The group quickly walked through the nearly fragmented island, which was hit, and was getting closer and closer to Ghost Hand Pirates and Ross. In the ruins. Trafalgar Law is doing the simplest treatment for Shiliew of the Rain and others. Everyone is basically seriously injured. Although there is no medical box and the like, but with the ability of Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit, Law was able to perform some emergency hemostatic procedures. Too late. Just after Law dealt with Hajrudins wounds, his eyes flickered toward the distant ruins, and he slowly opened his mouth without dealing with the injuries of giants like Road and others. The giants wounds are relatively large, and the most troublesome and slowest to deal with. The CP0 people obviously wont give him time to deal with them. Hajrudins wounds are very small and very few. It can be considered as a matter of time before he heals naturally. The scum of government Shiliew of the Rain took a cigar, put it in his mouth, struck a match, took a puff, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and spat out a puff of smoke. So they are finally here. Ross stood beside him and spoke quietly. Whiz! Whiz! Almost at the moment when the Ross voice fell, the figure of the five people of CP0 appeared from the ruins in the distance and they rushed toward them at a very fast speed, and finally fell in front of Ross and others. Shiliew of the Rain and others stood in the ruins, looking at the rushing CP0, with indifference in their eyes, even Ficheux Ermans face is showing a hint of cold and killing. I didnt expect you to be able to repel the Beast Pirates. CP0 Chief slowly came forward, his eyes cold and inconspicuous, sweeping over Ross and others, saying: I was planning to intercept your runaway plan after your defeat, but I did not expect to come here to deal with you. Having said that, his tone suddenly became extremely fierce, saying: So where is the heart of St. Mjosgard?! If it isnt the CP0, you are good at seizing the opportunity. Trafalgar Law stands with Kikoku on his shoulder, looking at the five CP0 with a cold look in his eyes. But youll never get that guys heart back in this life. CP0 Chiefs eyes flashed with a cold light and he no longer wasting time and said: You dont want to hand it over? It will only make your death more miserable! He knows that if he continues to drag the time, he will only let Ross and others restore some of their stamina. This time, the Ghost Hand Pirates are the weakest and they would not put much of a resistance. They need to move now! The next moment. Five people from CP0 suddenly rushed out and rushed to Ross and others. Boom! CP0 Chief punches Ross, and Ross doubles his fists in front of him, calmly blocking his blow, without shaking. CP0 Vice Chief used Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) and kicked Shiliew of the Rain, Shiliew of the Rain crosses his swords in front of him and blocked the energy attack, but the whole person took a step back, the injuries are not the main point, the main point is stamina. Whiz! Ficheux Erman is able to avoid the hit of CP0 Division Captain. Hajrudin took advantage of Rumble-Rumble Fruits Thunder force to actively throw a huge thunder, shrouded the remaining two CP0 Division Captains. In terms of stamina consumption, Hajrudin is the lowest, and is still in a state of half stamina. Logias abilities does not consume much stamina, not to mention he is still a giant. Hey, hand over the heart, you should be very clear about the current situation, you dont have the power to fight us now. CP0 Vice Chief observed the situation and said in a plain and indifferent tone. Although Hajrudin is trouble for them, other people are obviously at the end of the rope, with only Hajrudin, there is no possibility of a comeback! CHAPTER 261 3 MINUTES Not as mighty as last time. CP0 Division Captain opened his mouth at Ficheux Erman, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. The last time Ficheux Erman blocked their Chief, it was hard for them to leave with their life. This time, in the face of his attack, he was forced to evade. Its a bit shameful for us to come to you at this time, but the world never sees the process, only the end result. CP0 Chiefs slowly said with a hint of condescending tone and he suddenly punched Ross once again causing Ross to stumble back four or five steps. Thats right. Except for the Pirate King Gol. D. Roger, who used his death to kick-start the Great Age of Pirates, almost all of the other famous Pirates have lost their names in history. Like Golden Lion, there are very few people who remember him now. Before in the era of Roger, Garp became a Marine hero because he defeated various pirates who were famous, but now the world only knows Marine hero Garp and they had forgotten the names of the pirates he had defeated to earn that name. If Ross remained locked up in Impel Down without being able to come out, his name would have gradually disappeared in history, until no one mentions it. No matter what you have done before, no matter what the process is, it doesnt matter. The only thing that matters is the end result. Its really hard for you to escape from Impel Down. But if you are against the government, then your demise id just a matter of time. Its all over now! CP0 Chief takes another step forward while saying that. Bang! He punched out and Ross held his arms in front of him to block and was knocked back a few meters. But at this time, Ross that was shaken back did not have any solemn expression on his face, instead, he looked up slowly, his eyes were plain and watery, and his face was just calm. Youre right. Its time to stop. I dont want to see your masked face again. His voice was low and slow and at the moment his voice fell, he extended his right hand and gently snapped his fingers. Snapped! The snap of his fingers gave chief CP0 Chief a sudden sense of distress. He gave a low roar and rushed up to Ross, trying to defeat him as quickly as possible. But at this moment, Gerd, who had retreated to the rear with Robin, opened her eyes with the shape of petals on her chest, closed them and opened them again. The ability of Heal-Heal Fruit in her body was suddenly aroused. Chiyupopo(Healing flower)! Buzz!! In between her palms, the white light instantly emerged, showing a white petal shape that suddenly split. Half a dozen petals flew apart and disappeared into the bodies of Ross and Shiliew of the Rain. Although the CP0 members found this scene, they failed to stop it. Their faces changed slightly and they vaguely felt a bad feeling. Only three minutes, finish this as soon as possible. Gerd took a deep breath and yelled at Ross and others. Healing flower. It is not a healing ability, but a special power that can restore a person to full strength for a short period of time. With her current power, she can only maintain this effect for three minutes. However, within these three minutes, even if the body is in a state of serious injury, that seriously injured person can still exert his peak strength without being affected by any injury! Oh, thank you very much. Shiliew of the Rain feels the change in his body, and gives out a gentle reply, giving off a completely different atmosphere. He looks at the CP0 Vice Chief with a changed complexion. Three minutes are enough. Ficheux Erman said in an indifferent tone. At the same time, Trafalgar Law also pulled out the Kikoku, Laffitte is also smiled, looking forward to the coming fight, including the Giants such as Road. Ghost Hand Pirates In their peak condition! CP0 Chief and others saw this scene, and their faces changed dramatically. They can clearly perceive that the atmosphere of Ross and others has become completely different from the previous ones. From the sluggish state of stamina exhaustion to a moment full of energy! Retreat first! Go! It seems to last only three minutes. At the same time as his face changed dramatically, CP0 Chief captured the information revealed by Gerd, and he directly ordered his subordinates to retreated. They just have to wait for three minutes and the situation will come under their control! Dont you think its too late to go now? Ross slowly opened his mouth, his voice was cold and indifferent, he stepped forward and the whole person suddenly crossed the space and came to the escape path directly in front of the CP0 Chief and punched him. Feeling the power behind this punch, CP0 Chiefs face has changed dramatically, but before the speed of Ross and the attack range of the power of distortion, he cant avoid it. Bang! Ross, in his prime state, has the power that he cant match. Although the strength of CP0 Chief is extremely strong and he is also in his peak battle state, under Rosss punch, he flew backward after resisting for only a second. You just had a very good time right now attacking me like that. Shiliew of the Rain exhaled a puff of smoke and watched the CP0Vice Chief go backward quickly. With a cold snort, the cigar immediately froze from the root, and he suddenly rushed out. ! Shiliew of the Rain slashed and wrapped his sword in a cold chill. CP0 Vice Chief utilized Armament Haki and the Reinforced Tekkai (Iron Body), sparks flew as his body resisted Shiliews sword, but a chilling force instantly spread in his body, letting his body surface emerge with white frost! Three minutes, to send you into your next life. Law said in an indifferent tone and pulled out Kikoku, He inspired the Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits ability and the whole person suddenly exchanged position with the stone in front of CP0 Division Captain and Law smashed him with his blade. CP0 Division Caption was forced to retreat and he could only inspire Armament Haki to resist the attack. ! Laws blade slammed on his arm and sparks appeared, it failed to cut him but left him staggering. Thunder! Hajrudin turns into a flash of lightning and slammed the thunder down on the Division Captain, but the CP0 Division Captain has to bite his teeth and resist. Crackling! Hajrudins attack was a serious one, obviously not something that the Division Captain could withstand completely, and he was blackened in a moment, with black smoke coming out of his mouth. Although he was not killed, he was paralyzed and was hit hard. In addition to the slow speed of several giants such as Road and Stansen, Laffitte and Robin all attacked. In a short period of time, several people of CP0 are seriously injured! Damn it! CP0 Chief saw that his subordinates had been defeated in a moment, and his face hidden under the mask had become extremely ugly. Originally this three-minute time, It could have been used upon the Beast Pirates if they had waited a little before attacking, but now everything seems to be over for them. Laws Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit moves very fast, and Robins Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) ignores the speed and can strike at a distance, not to mention Ross himself. As for the Ficheux Erman, his Speed ??Fruits speed, in addition to Rosss Distortion space and Laws space exchange, is almost unbeatable, it is comparable to the existence of Kizaru. Escape? ! It doesnt exist for them in the current situation! If the combat power is equal, the delay time can be delayed, but in the face of the peak powered Ghost Hand Pirates, the gap between the two sides is more than doubled! CHAPTER 262 COMPLETELY DESTROYED Bang! Ross punched and caused CP0 Chief to squat back. At the same time, his sword slashed and the blade instantly penetrated the space and came to the chest of CP0 Chief. Distortion, Broken Thorns! CP0 Chief was caught off guard and his right chest was pierced instantly. At the critical moment, he grasped the blade with his hand and was able to stop its movement! The CP0 Chief is a Zoan Devil Fruit user, but Ross couldnt identify the species because his semi-human form was a bit ugly. Boom! As CP0 Chief grabs the blade, Ross takes a step forward and kicks him sideways on his right shoulder. CP0 Chief hit the ground, leaving a huge crack in the broken ground. Distortion Fist! Rosss eyes are indifferent, and as he drew his sword back, he struck the ground below. Bang Long! With the explosion of power of distortion, the earth within a radius of tens of meters collapses like a vortex. The power collapses and the earth-shattering power is erupted, shaking all directions. When the momentum stops, CP0 Chiefs figure leaps out in a panic. His clothes are broken, and a trace of blood spills from the corner of his mouth. The whole person looks disheveled. He doesnt hesitate to continue to retreat without any intention of fighting. Whiz! Ross took a step forward and suddenly caught up with him. In the face of Rosss attack, CP0Chief can only be forced to fight back, he is very strong in physical skills and his fighting skills are better than Ross. But Ross is better than him in speed and long-ranged attack patterns. Even if his physical skills are extremely strong, they are useless here. After struggling with more than ten moves in a few seconds, he was once again hit by Ross and smashed upon a piece of raised ruins not far away. If he didnt have Zoans devil fruit ability with strong recovery and defense and wasnt focused on retreating and fought against Ross while focusing on his defense, it would be impossible for him to get seriously injured at this time! Pretty durable. Rosss voice was indifferent. The other side seems to be in a very embarrassing state, in fact, in his perception, the injury is very shallow. After all, the combat power of the CP0 Chief has reached the standard of Marine Admiral in all aspects. As the peak combat power of the sea, there are many people who can suppress an admiral, but few can crush an admiral. Give him a day, he has more than 90% confidence to kill this CP0 Chief but three minutes time is little too short. But. With more than double the strength of the Battle, two minutes later, the Battle on the other side was almost over, with the CP0 Vice Chief getting seriosly injured and two of the three Division Captains getting killed. The seriously injured CP0 Vice Chief and the last CP0 Division Captain are not a threat anymore and Hajrudin alone can deal with them. Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman decisively charge into the direction of CP0 Chief. Overspeed Destruction Artillery! Ficheux Erman popped a coin that suddenly accelerated under the power of Speed ??Fruit and hit the back of CP0 Chief. CP0 Chief just broke free from the ruins, facing the attack of the coin, he pushed his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki to the limit and barely avoided the coin. But. Just the next moment, Shiliew of the Rain attack came. CP0 Chief couldnt avoid it. He can only get low with his huge claws covered with the dark Armament haki and shoot at the blade. Snapped! He resisted Shiliew of the Rains sword edge, but at the same time, half of his body was eroded by the cold and covered with a layer of frost. Just then, Ross stepped out of the air and came to his front, punching him on his chest. Puff! Even if he tried his best to utilize his Armament Haki, he still couldnt resist Rosss attack. He flew backward with a mouthful of blood pouring out of his mouth. At this moment, Ross flashed and came to his back and kicked him. Boom! Like kicking the ball, the upturned CP0 Chief is kicked back by Ross and spits out a big mouthful of blood again. White Blade! Destruction Artillery! Shiliew of the Rain and FicheuxErman both attacked, one after the other. CP0 Chief was barely able to cross his arms in front of him, but faced with joint attacks of the two, he still could not resist, and the whole person fell back again. Ross calculated the time and it was almost three minutes, Rosss eyes glowed with the power of distortion, condensing on his fist. Buzz!! The void around the fist presents a view of Distortion. CP0 Chief has just been attacked by Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman. He is flying upside down in the air, unable to dodge or even turn his Armament Haki to fend off the attack. Bang! Rosss fist fell against the back of the CP0 Chief who was flying backward. The opponents scattered Armament Haki was broken by the power of distortion impact almost in a flash. The furious power of distortion hit the body of CP0 Chief. Even if he was a user of Zoans ancient ability with high defense and high recovery rate, he still couldnt resist the attack. His entire body is suddenly reversed into a shrimp shape. He began flying at a faster speed. Bang Long! CP0 Chiefs body hit the ground a hundred meters away and at the moment of impact, the whole earth was set off with ripples, like a meteorite crashing on the ground and a great momentum erupted out and spread in all directions. World Government Secret Intelligence Agency, CP0 Chief Ryan, has been hunted, receiving a reward, 140 Talent Proficiency Points, 1 Free Talent Point. As the synthetic sound of the system rings in Rosss ear, his abundant power fades like the tide, and the whole person falls to the ground quickly and landed smoothly. Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman also swayed and were barely able to stand still. Is he dead? Dead. Ross nodded. Because he had been specially treated by Gerd before, the effect of the flower of healing still had some effects left and he still has a trace of stamina. He stepped on it and rushed towards Hajrudin and others. Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman looked at each other and stagger to catch up. At the moment. Lafitte, Law and other peoples strength has also faded, and they have lost their battle efficiency. However, the CP0 Vice chief has also suffered a lot, and his whole body is burnt black. At this moment, he is fighting against Hajrudin. Lightning strike! Hajrudin made a lightning arc and attacked the CP0 Vice chief. If CP0 Vice Chief had been in his prime condition, he would have been able to avoid this attack by using his Observation Haki, but now he has been hit by a thunderstorm. Whiz! And just as the lightning arc dissipated, Ross appeared in his back, holding a two-edged Blade Murasame to stab him mercilessly across his chest. There was a spatter of blood. CP0 Vice chief widened his eyes, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes. He tried hard to turn around, but his strength dispersed like the tide, and finally fell to the ground. There is no sound. There is no reward for killing the CP0 Vice chief this time. Wasteful effort. Ross shook his head and pulled out the Cursed Blade Murasame. This is the end. In addition to the only Division Captain who was deliberately left behind, the other four, along with the Vice Chief, are all completely destroyed. Time Just four minutes! CHAPTER 263 FIVE EMPERORS Lets go, we will leave here first. The CP0 Vice Chiefs head was rolled on the ground After assisting Hajrudin to kill the CP0 Vice Chief, Ross pulled back the Cursed Blade Murasame and said to everyone around him. Using the healing flower to forcibly restoring themselves to the peak state and killing the CP0 group, but now they have no fighting power left. Although the Beast Pirates and Kaido may not be able to pursue them in the case of a CP0 sneak attack, it is still safest to evacuate the island as soon as possible. Gerd, dont let him die, hes still useful. As he made his way off the island, Ross turned and pointed to the half-dead CP0 Division Captain that Law had shouldered. He is especially left alive, not for the purpose of being a hostage, nor for getting turned into a toy robot by Sugar, but for being the lab rat for Trafalgar Laws Personality Transplant Surgery. Yes. Gerd nodded and put a faint halo of light in the body of the Division Captain to maintain his vitality, and quickly catch up with the team. This is the end. The war that lasted nearly three days and three nights finally came to an end. On the balloon, Morgan and his assistants watched the whole process of the war and now they wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads and looked at each other. Its finally over. I didnt expect the Ghost Hand Pirates to have the ability to fight back They originally thought that Ross and others would be in danger encountering CP0 at this time, but it was almost opposite to what they have imagined as within a few minutes, the CP0 team was annihilated. After fighting fiercely with the Beast Pirates and killing the elites of the Beast Pirates and forcing them to retreat back, they still have the power to kill the CP0 assassination unit, which is undoubtedly amazing! This time, the New World is going to enter the era of the Five Emperors. Morgan took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth with a trace of vibration in his eyes. A few days later. Ross led the Ghost Hand Pirates and fought against the Beast Pirates led by Kaido for three days and three nights in the Duka Island, and finally, the Ghost Hand Pirates repelled the Beast Pirates. The world shakes! It is also from this day that the quotation marks on the word Fifth Emperors were taken away, the rule of Yonk (Four Emperors) was declared to end, and New World completely entered the era of the Five Emperors. World Government. Holy Land Mariejois. In the highest-level office, Gorsei (Five Elder Stars)s expressions are all suppressed and solemn and the whole room is filled with a palpitating atmosphere. The balance has been broken. Someone slowly opened his mouth. The situation of Yonk (Four Emperors), coupled with the Shichibukai system, the existence of the Marine and the government, can maintain the balance of the sea without excessive chaos. For Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), they dont care about some local struggles. They dont even care about the New World. It doesnt matter to them to let Yonk (Four Emperors) rule a sea. In the world as a whole, giving up a bit of sea seems trivial. But. The emergence of Ross is the beginning of the collapse of the balance. The Shichibukai system, under the continuous killing of Ross, has become a system on the verge of collapse due to the Dressrosa incident, although two new Shichibukai have been recruited subsequently. The pattern of the Five Emperors will also completely break the balance of Yonk (Four Emperors). Coupled with the complete hostility of Ross with World Government and Marine, the next developments are likely to be more and more unfavorable to the government, unless other Yonk (Four Emperors) can stop the development of the Ghost Hand Pirates. The balance of the world is impossible to sustain forever. The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) with a sword said cold said: Maybe its time to do a Cleanup. When the word Cleanup was mentioned, the room suddenly fell silent. After a while. For the time being, lets wait and see. The chaos of the New World will not reach the whole world so fast. Its not the time to stir up Mr. IM for the time being, The Gorosei next to him said with a solemn tone Yes, the Ghost Hand Pirates are now in the gap between us and Yonk (Four Emperors). To expand their power, they would enter more than one conflict with other Yonk (Four Emperors). It is not advisable to intervene now. Let the intelligence department pay close attention to the follow-up events of the New World. New World. Somewhere on the sea, the Ghost Hand Pirates Ship is slowly moving forward. The hanging bounty hasnt changed. It seems that there wont be much change in a short time. Laffitte sat in a chair and looked at the new newspaper he got today and said while shrugging his shoulders. Is the CP0 thing suppressed? Shiliew of the rain sat not far away, with a cigar in his mouth. Laffitte nodded and spread the newspaper and said: There is no mention of them at all. As expected. Ficheux Erman threw a peanut into his mouth and smiled. But we repelled the Beast Pirates. This news is enough. Todays Ghost Hand Pirates need prestige and fame. Why can Yonk (Four Emperors) shelter an island while just planting a flag and no one dares to invade it? It is because the name of Yonk (Four Emperors) resounds throughout the sea, and people who have some brains are afraid to make trouble in the territories under the banner of Yonk (Four Emperors)! The Ghost Hand Pirates did not have the qualification to insert the flag before, but by repelling the Beast Pirates, they now have the capital to occupy their territory. Bathroom. Robin is taking a shower with Sugar. In the previous battle, sugar did not direct her toys to participate in the war. Although her toys also have certain combat power, the power of Hobi Hobi no Mi is better to be hidden. She will not be allowed to participate in the front battlefield until she absolutely has to. Robin had a long wound on her shoulder, and there was a bruise under the neck of her back. Although it had faded a lot, it was still quite obvious. But. There are two ship doctors, Law and Gerd. Its not difficult to leave no trace of any wound. I say, it seems that you cant take a bath for your injury? Just as Robin was rubbing her hair, Ross came in with a bathrobe, walked not far away and asked as he took off his coat. He rarely takes a bath alone. Because water is important, you must save it. As early as the moment when Ross pushed the door, Robin had already noticed it, but on this ship, there is one who can enter the bathroom without getting in any trouble. Thats about it for today. Robin replied without any changes on her face and continued to rub the foam on her hair. But. Her heart did waver, and Sugar could not keep calm. She stared at him and then jumped into the bath. This jump is good and because it is the Devil Fruit ability, it is necessary to keep the head out of the water, but her whole body has been drilled in, and the body is stiff and cant move at once. She cant get up in the bathtub. This ship is a ship built by giants. The proportion of the bathtub is naturally several times larger, and the depth is also several times deeper. Even if it is impossible for Robin to completly fill the tub with water and she can only fill it about one-fifth, but even so, it is enough to drown the Sugar. Ross: ??? Seeing this scene, he was also getting depressed, his fingers rushed to the surface of the water and the power of distortion was utilized. In a flash, the water splashed all over the place, and he fished up the sunken sugar, with black lines all over his face. Whats going in your little head? What is with this sudden suicide action? It seems that Sugars mentality has some problems, and she needs to be guided more. Hobi Hobi no Mis ability is still very useful, and it cant be ruined casually. Whats more. Drowning in the bathtub would probably be the most tragic death of any Devil Fruit user. However, Sugar cant answer Rosss question at the moment. Her eyes turn white and she has obviously drunk a lot of water. Ugh Robin stood aside and sighed. There was no fluctuation in her heart. She just wanted to beat up her captain. CHAPTER 264 MIND REPLACEMENT SURGERY Sugar fainted, this is not a trivial matter. Hobi Hobi no Mis ability failed, and the toys on the ship instantly returned to human form. However, these people who have been turned into toys are of ordinary strength and boldness. Ross unleashed Haoshoku Haki and instantly stunned everyone. Shiliew of the Rain took the sword into the scabbard. Even Fujitora with his Kenbonshoku (Observation) couldnt have been able to perceive the specific picture, and naturally no one can do it. Its not clear what happened. They only know that something unexpected happened in the bathroom, which caused Sugar to faint. Captain really did drop the ball. Ficheux Erman licked his mouth. Although Sugar kept her ten-year-old appearance because of Hobi Hobi no Mi, it was still a 10-year-old appearance. What did Ross do to cause her to faint? Having said that, Whitebeard likes to accept his son. BIGMOM likes to throw banquets. Kaido likes to commit suicide. It seems that their own Captains preference is also normal. Dont talk about Captain so casually. Laffitte chuckled at Ficheux Erman, not guessing whats going on in the bathroom. Shiliew of the Rain and others did not care. Who doesnt have special hobbies? Which one of them is not a weird on this ship, let alone Ross who id the Captain. Inside the bathroom. After giving Sugar a first-aid and reviving her, Ross wrapped her in a small bathrobe when she was still confused, lest she fainted again. The toys outside have been changed back to people, but they are all in a coma. Go change your clothes and let Laffitte lead the way and change them back to toys one by one. Ross spoke to Sugar and opened the wristband she wore. Sugar sat up and slowly began to realize what was going on. It was hard to describe what had happened, and a thousand words finally gathered into one word. Pervert. Huh? What did you just say? Ross looked at sugar and asked. Sugars expression went a little stiff as she thought about Rosss terrifying powers. I I said nothing. Go to work. Ross stared. Sugar immediately wrapped herself in her bathrobe and sprinted out of the bathroom. As Sugar runs out of the bathroom, Ross stands up, kneads his brows, and says, You cant be a little worry-free. Its really troublesome. Ah. Robin wiped her hair and put on her bathrobe to leave the bathroom. After the shower, Ross came to Laws lab. CP0s Division Captain is being handcuffed by Seastone shackles on his hands and feet, and his body is tied with an iron lock. Even if he is not an ability user, he has no chance to break away. On the other side, there are three pirates. These three were toys, but Sugar removed her ability and changed them back to human shape for Law to test. The purpose of the experiment is mental surgery. For those who have reached a certain level, it is almost impossible to hypnotize and brainwash them, because their will is strong enough to be completely difficult to shake. For example, the Three Disasters level people. Even if you can brainwash them into hypnosis, it is not something that can be done in a day or two. It requires years of torture, destroying their heart, and then repeated hypnosis and brainwashing to make them become the war power of Ross. And it is still not safe to do so. But. Mind surgery is completely different. In Rosss opinion, the value of this ability is superior to Hobi Hobi no Mi! People like CP0 Division Captains cant be brainwashed at all, but they can use mind surgery to replace a soul that is relatively easy to brainwash. Thus. Although it is difficult for the new soul to control CP0 Division Captains body perfectly and display its original strength, it is easy to display five or six percent power, and over time, it can adapt and display its original strength. In other words, the ability of mind surgery can create powerful combat power in batches! This is one of the reasons why Ross has not recruited middle and lower crew members all the time, because there is no need to in front of mind surgery, and he can even swallow other Yonk (Four Emperors) in the future! Not yet successful. Law looked at Ross, who was walking into the lab, and shook his head at him. He said: A variety of adverse reactions will occur after the mind replacement surgery, and further improvements are needed. Ross asked Law: Are they unable to withstand CP0 Division Captains body and Will? Law shook his head and said: Not just this problem, I still have not mastered this ability, and this guy is not cooperating. For Mind Replacement Surgery, Law has only recently mastered this ability. First, he is not proficient in using it. Second, the strength of the CP0 Division Captain is relatively too strong, which is not something that ordinary peoples souls can carry. Just like an ordinary persons soul is replaced by Hundred Beast Kaidos body and then asking him to wave a big blade over forty meters, it would obviously not move. The scope of the mind replacement surgery is that the two people who are replaced cannot have too much difference in terms of the soul, or the strength of the will, otherwise they cannot adapt. This way Ross showed a thoughtful expression. Its natural to do experiments with pirates. Later, they would need to let the brainwashed loyal soldiers on Sky Island to carry out soul replacement and control the body of Division Captain to become the combat power of the Ghost Hand Pirates. However, CP0 Captain seems to be very difficult and the Three Disasters and the Four Sweet Generals who are stronger than him, the difficulty is procedure would be undoubtedly higher. As for Yonk (Four Emperors) Hundred Beast Kaido, I am afraid it is even harder. Yes. Ross has always been planning to kill Kaido. Since it is difficult to kill Kaido physically, it is entirely possible to change the mind and start from the soul to destroy Kaidos soul. And in this way, with the use of mind surgery, he can even get a powerhouse at the level of Kaido! But. To do this, he must first have the ability to completely suppress Hundred Beast Kaido, to completely deplete Kaidos stamina, and to suppress his movement. Secondly, Laws strength must reach a certain level. Otherwise, under the influence of Kaidos momentum, it would be difficult for him to successfully use his abilities. Finally, he must also find a person who can withstand the terrifying body and Will of Hundred Beast Kaido. This person must also be able to fully trust and obey him absolutely. The above points must be met at the same time. Try another 10 days or half a month and there should be no problem. However, if the mental strength of those who are replaced is average, they can only exert about one-tenth of the physical strength of CP0 Division Captain. Law took a sip of water and slowly said to Ross. The CP0 Division Captains combat power is almost the same as that of Momonga and other headquarters Vice Admirals that Ross once met, and he is even a little stronger. But if the combat power is reduced by 80%, then he may not even be as strong as a Headquarters Rear Admiral, which is of little significance. After all. CP0 Division Captain, this level of a fighter is not a cabbage that can be found at any time and anywhere. Dont worry about it for the time being. After thinking a little bit, Ross gave a look at Law and told him to not be too anxious. In fact. Ross also considered that the strength of the will of the soul was not strong enough, and he had the most suitable capacity in front of him to fully satisfy this need. That isSoul-Soul Fruit of BIGMOM! With the ability of Soul-Soul Fruit, it has the power to make Soul Incarnation. With the ability of Soul Incarnation, forget CP0 Division Captain, even Three Disasters and even the body of Hundred Beast Kaido can be controlled in no time! And with the soul incarnation and Laws mind replacement, the Battle Powers will be absolutely loyal, and there is no possibility of betrayal. But. It is not easy to get Soul-Soul Fruit. Ross doesnt have the ability of darkness fruit, nor does he have the bizarre physique of BIGMOM. To get Soul-Soul Fruit, he must first destroy BIGMOM, then wait for Soul-Soul Fruit to appear again in the sea and try to capture it. The whole process can be said to be extremely difficult. On the one hand, BIGMOM, as one of Yonk (Four Emperors), is not so easy to destroy. On the other hand, after destroying BIGMOM, finding the Soul-Soul Fruit that reappears somewhere in the sea is also difficult. Once it was eaten by someone else, he would have to kill that person again and continue to wait. CHAPTER 265 RANK Soul-Soul Fruit As he left Laws lab, Ross had a thoughtful look in his eyes. There is not much difference between the forces of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, just like the BIGMOM Pirates, maybe BIGMOM is slightly weaker than Kaido, but it is only a slight difference, and the BIGMOM Pirates has Four Sweet Commanders, which is better than Beast Pirates Three Disasters. With the current strength of the Ghost Hand Pirates, it is easy for them to fight the BIGMOM Pirates and even defeat them. However, it is very difficult, or almost impossible, to completely destroy the BIGMOM Pirates and even kill BIGMOM. But. Soul-Soul Fruit is another extremely important part of Rosss plan. Its impossible to fight against the World Government with the power of a single Yonk (Four Emperors). Even two Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirate groups are not enough. In addition to the marines on the surface, the internal structure of the World Government is also complex. The last one, marine fleet admiral Steel Bone Kong, is now hidden powers? Yonk (Four Emperors) is the rising power of this era. The World Government has stood here for 800 years. There is no obvious fault between their upper and lower layers, but it is a huge force handed down from one layer to another. Its essence is far beyond the comparison of any one of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. There is also Im above the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), the hidden Ancient Weapon Uranus all this is an unknown force. And so. Acquiring the Soul-Soul Fruit is a must! Just like Blackbeard aimed at the Yami-Yami No Mi, with the intention to make the his forces strong in batch by virtue of the dark fruit and seize the strong devil fruit ability in batch, Rosss intention is to continuously expand the power of Ghost Hand Pirates by virtue of the ability of Soul-Soul Fruit and Law. But. If he wants to completely destroy the BIGMOM Pirates, he still lacks the combat power to do so. Ross finally converges his thoughts and returns to his room. With a thought in his mind, he called out the Talent System Interface. After destroying the CP0 unit, Ross got 140 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Point. At present, his Free Talent Points have accumulated to 3 points. 3 Free Talent Points. Such scarcity forced Ross to not waste any point at the moment. He even thought about how to use the Soul-Soul Fruit. If possible, he would use the worlds technology to let an object eat the Devil Fruit and combine the Cursed Blade Murasame and Soul-Soul Fruit into one and turned it into a real Demon blade which could cut the body as well as the soul. If this method does not work, only then, he would go back and consider the method of double devil fruit ability. The Power of distortion needs to be improve continuously Ross looks at the phantom talent system interface, and after a little thought, he put 50 Talent Proficiency Points into Distortion Fruit. Buzz!! A golden light flashed and changes in the interface appeared in front of him. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 750 Soru of Marines Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) by Marines Rokushiki: 0 Marines Rokushikis Gepp (Moonwalk):0 Observation Haki: 200 (Maximum Value) Armament Haki: 200 (Maximum Value) Haoshoku Haki: 0 Distortion Fruits proficiency has increased to 750 points, and Ross also clearly feels that the power of distortion in his body has been enhanced. In terms of pure attack, he should not be too far away from the peak state of Whitebeard. For the remaining 90 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross put 50 points into the General Departments Rock Talent. As for the last 40 points, he considered it again and again and finally put them on the Agility Enhancement. In fact. Ross has considered putting them in Gepp (Moonwalk) as he uses Geppo with Gravity Distortion to walk and fight in the air. He has been exercising Gepp (Moonwalk) and even using Gravity Distortion to aggravate his workouts, but even then, it is impossible for him to surpass the level of Garp without decades of practice. But. Thanks to the existence of Agility Enhancement, coupled with the improvement of the air movement by Gravity Distortion and the spatial movement of the Distortion space, Ross felt that the methods for his body to remain in the air didnt need to be increased anymore. He just needs to bring the Agility Enhancement to Maximum Value. His speed would be almost the same as Kizaru. Kizaru may be a little faster at close range and faster when moving over long distances. If he had Agility Enhancement with Maximum Value, it would have been much easier to deal with Hundred Beast Kaido. Buzz!! After the golden light flashed, the General Department of Talents Tree changed. Agility Enhancement: 460 (Top Level Strengthening) Physical Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value) Spirit Heart: 0 (Basic Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 200 (Maximum Value) Rock: 100 (High-Level Strengthening) Agility Enhancement has reached 460 Proficiency Points, while Rock talent had reached 100 points, breaking through the level of High-Level Strengthening. Not to mention the improvement in agility, the defense brought by Rock talent reached 100 points which is obviously a big increase. In the past, a bullet hitting Rosss skin was able to leave a white mark on his skin. Now It would not even leave the white mark. Even a cannon may not break his skin toughness, let alone the tenacious muscles of the lower layer that are better than steel. And. This kind of defense is based on not using the Armament Haki. Once Armament Haki is used, his defense will no doubt increase. Today, even if Ross does not use the power of distortion, his physical body power and Haki alone are enough to fight a Marine Admiral. Once the power of distortion is used, killing an Admiral will not take too long. Before. In the Battle between Ross and Kaido, he was able to beat Kaido to a draw, and eventually, Rosss stamina was exhausted because of his flexibility and using Distortion ability to distort space several times in a row, especially with the last attack that consumed a lot of his stamina and also Kaidos, which is why the battle ended in a draw as neither side was able to continue fight. If they repeat the previous battle once, when Kaido fully understands all the capabilities of Ross and makes the right response, it would be Ross who would exhaust his stamina first. But. Now that his speed power and defense have improved by one point, the situation is completely different. When he meets Hundred Beast Kaido again, Ross didnt have to use the ability of Distortion space to get some openings to attacks. His speed is now enough to fight with Kaido, and maybe even run Kaido out of his stamina! If it was a coincidence before, this time it is real power. Coincidence can be cracked, but real power cant. With Kaido, even after all the previous moves, He has a 60% chance of winning which over half, and he has a 70% chance against BIGMOM. Ross clenched his fist and felt the power of ascension. His eyes glistened. For him to have a winning chance of 70% against any Yonk (Four Emperors), this is already a very powerful force. On this level of standing at the top of the sea, who can have 100% assurance over others?! Any mistake in one move may lead to the rewriting of the whole war situation. Just like the gap between level 97 and level 98 and level 99, its not that big. But if a skill is misplaced, it will have a great impact on the final victory of the battle. In the eyes of current Ross. If the whitebeard of the peak state is counted as Level 100, then he now at level 99, Kaido is about level 98, and BIGMOM is estimated to be at level 97. As for Red Hair Shanks, its hard for Ross to judge his power level because of the serious lack of information, but theres no doubt that its within the range of 97 to 100. As for Marine Admiral. The standard is above 95. This generation of Admirals like Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru, doesnt have much power difference between them and someone like Garp, Sengoku, are no doubt within the 97 to 100 range. Naturally. One thing Ross is pretty sure of is that with his Talent System, the level 100 is not his limit. CHAPTER 266 GOAL, BIGMOM After using 140 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross made a mental move and the semi-transparent Interface of Talent System disappeared. He walked out of the room, came to the hall and sat on the sofa to rest. He is considering how to destroy the BIGMOM Pirates in a safe manner. As one of the Five Emperors of the New World, his every move will attract the attention of the world. The contradiction between him and Kaido has not diminished. Once he starts with BIGMOM, it is hard to say how Kaido will act. Kaido and BIGMOM used to be the crew members of the Rocks Pirates of the last era. In addition, Kaido also owed a big favor to BIGMOM. Although these things do not necessarily make Kaido support BIGMOM, it is undoubtedly true. If he wants to deal with BIGMOM, he must make a quick fix. With the current power of the Ghost Hand Pirates, it is difficult for them to quickly defeat any Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. If they could, they would be ranked first in the ranking in the Five Emperors. Captain. Just as Ross was thinking, Lafitte came in and asked Ross: Shall we first go to Kono island to rest and return to Dressrosa, or to the country of peace and invade the territory of the Beast Pirates? After leaving the Duka Island, their ship has been sailing at sea for seven days. There is not much food or fresh water left. Next, they could either retreat from Duka Island and return to Dressrosa or they could continue to invade the territory of Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates and start the invasion war. Ross looked at Laffitte and said: There is no way for me to kill Hundred Beast Kaido. Even if we invade the Beast Pirates Sea, we wouldnt be able to expand our territory to gain a foothold. Yes. Laffitte nodded The other three Disasters are all right. But Kaido cant be dealt with. It is a really big trouble. Trying to tear a piece of meat from the territory of Kaido is very serious. But then again, tearing of meat from any other Yonk (Four Emperors) is equally serious. No Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates will choose to stay back when their territory is occupied by someone else. I am considering the feasibility of dealing with the BIGMOM Pirates. Said Ross with a hint of thought in his eyes. Laffitte thought for a moment and said: In dealing with the BIGMOM Pirates, your fight may be a lot easier, and our fight will be a lot harder. The Beast Pirates Corps established by Hundred Beast Kaido is almost based on Zoans benchmark, and the Non-Zoan ability users are rare. Because of this, the force of the Beast Pirates Corps is not very much, or it is much smaller than the BIGMOM Corps. Different from the Beast Pirates. The BIGMOM Pirates accepts all races, with her children as its core cadres, and builds a complete and huge Totto Land. Big Moms subordinates are extremely numerous. Among them, the strength of the Four Sweet Generals at the top is also the same as the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates. Under these circumstances. Rosss fight with BIGMOM will be easier than his fight against Kaido, but they will be in trouble when faced with the huge force of the BIGMOM Pirates. If Ross is the first to win, they will win the battle, but if he cant support them quickly than they will lose this time. Yeah, our strength is not enough Ross has the confidence to win against BIGMOM in a shorter period of time, but this short period of time may be more than one day, and the overall odds of his forces winning against BIGMOM Pirates are not particularly large. For current Ross, he is almost sure to escape under any circumstances, but it is different for Robin and others, it will be extremely dangerous for them. And just when Ross was thinking about it. Hajrudin came to the hall and walked towards Ross. He paused a little and whispered: Captain, I received a message from my hometown. The soldiers of Elbaff want to join us. Can we go towards Elbaff? Now the Giant Corps has already become famous in the world with the Ghost Hand Pirates. With the exception of Gerd, the power of the other four giants has resounded throughout the sea, almost re-emphasizing the glory of the Giant Pirates, and the country of Elbaff naturally began to take pride in Hajrudin and others, some of whom are young and eager to become a member of the Giant Corps. Elbaff? Ross came back to his senses and looked at Hajrudin. After a moment of thinking, he nodded. This is a good opportunity. The Giants are soldiers who have received rigorous training from an early age. Their battle power is very strong. Even without Devil Fruit, their strength is on par with the pirates with a bounty of tens of millions of berries. And the Elites of the giants like Hajrudin, under his full power, caused Machvise, the member of Donquixote Family to fly upwards towards his death in the original story and at that time he didnt even eat the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. The power of the Giants is also what BIGMOM is most eager to get. Hajrudin saw Ross promised and couldnt help but smile and he saluted Ross, I thank you on behalf of Elbaff, the giant warriors will not let you down! I believe in the power of the Giants. Ross looked at Hajrudin with a light smile on his face and said: I wont talk about the other giants but you five have been doing very well, I am very satisfied. Hajrudin and others dont need to be mentioned for the time, Gerds abilitythe healing power is very good, and it is one of the indispensable forces for the Ghost Hand Pirates. Laffitte stood on the side and showed a smile on his face. He said, Hohohoho, if there are giants, it will be much safer to deal with the BIGMOM Pirates. Huh?! When he heard Laffitte, Hajrudin was suddenly stunned and said, To deal withBIGMOM Pirates? If there are no accidents, the next thing we will deal with is the BIGMOM Pirates. Ross spoke quietly, knowing Hajrudin and the personal grudges between the Giants and BIGMOM. Hajrudin clenched his fist and it was difficult for him to suppress his emotions for a while. That monster BIGMOM almost destroyed Elbaff and she was the vilest and hateful existence in his heart. He wanted to kill her for a long time but he knows that he is not an opponent of Big Mom, even if he had Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he only had the possibility to fight with BIGMOM. Before, when Ross and Lafitte discussed their next goal and when they chose one of the two Yonko Pirates to deal with, he wanted to propose to fight against BIGMOM Pirates. But. His hatred against BIGMOM is a personal grievance. Today, he and the whole giant regiment are unable to repay the kindness they owed to Ross. How can they have the cheek to propose to fight against the BIGMOM Pirates in front of Ross? He thought that after the previous war, Ross would fight with the Beast Pirates to the end. Unexpectedly, it was at this time that he learned that they were going to fight against the BIGMOM Pirates. In the name of Elbaff, the Giant Corps will do its best to help you to kill BIGMOM Pirates! Hajrudin squatted on one knee and showed unprecedented firmness in his eyes. Laffitte looked at Hajrudin with a slight surprise and guessed that Hajrudin might have a personal grudge with BIGMOM, the relationship between BIGMOM and the Giants are indeed too bad. CHAPTER 267 ELBAF Half a month later. Elbaf. Todays Ghost Hand Pirates can go wherever they want to go except for the Marine Headquarters and Holy Land Mariejois. Even if the World Government is always watching and sends out a force with high mobility and fast action after them, they wouldnt be able to do anything because the cost of encircling an Emperor Pirate in the sea is too great. Were back, Elbaf, its been a while. Gerd stood on the deck and looked far ahead at Elbaf. Ross, who was sitting on her shoulder, raised his eyebrows and said, I thought you said it was more than ten years since you left Elbaf. Yeah, its been a little bit longer. Gerd smiled. The life of a giant is several times that of human beings. A duel between two giants can last for a hundred years. The life of a Giant is very dull in terms of time. A few years seem like a short time to them. It had been only two or three years since they had followed Ross, a time that would have been like a nap for giants like Gerd and Hajrudin and in that short amount of time, they had become world-renowned giants. Once again, the giants were given a new voice and they became the glory of Elbaf. Look, they are back! On the shore of Elbaf, many giants are waiting here. They have been waiting since they learned that Hajrudin and others are coming back and are here for almost half a month. Ohh, Its Hajrudin! The giant people who sat there all stood up, including some giant children who were not very tall. Naturally, they were much taller than normal adults. The youngsters of the giant clan are all cheering and jumping up. In this past year, they have heard about the news of Giant Regiment one after another and they looked towards them with a trace of worship in their eyes. Are you Arnon? You have grown up a lot. Hajrudin stepped out of the ship and watched as a group of teenagers rush in and he touched one of their heads with a smile on his face. The life of the giants is long, ten years is only equivalent to three or four years of human life for them, these young giants are actually 20 or 30 years old, but they are still in early adulthood. In addition to Hajrudin. Road and others have also been welcomed by the entire population of Elbaf. For a long time, the entire shore was extremely lively, with numerous giants grinning happily. This is really the feeling of the past. When it comes to Blue Ogre and Red Ogre, they havent come back for a hundred years. Their duel is taking a bit too long. Someone grinned and mentioned the Two Captains of the Giant Warrier Pirates. It was then that one of the giants asked Gerd about Ross, who was sitting on her shoulders. Who is that? Is it human? Since the BIGMOM incident decades ago, Elbaf has not seen any humans visitors anymore. Looking at the small form of Ross, these giants are very curious. This is our Captain, Ghost Hand Ross, Gerd said, her eyes smiling and her voice slightly respectful. He is Ross Sama?! Standing next to the giant teenager, Arnon stares a bit towards him. The story of Hajrudin and the Giant Pirates has been spread in Elbaf, where the Ghost Hand Pirates affair is also mixed. Almost all the giants know that Hajrudin is currently under the flag of the Ghost Hand Pirates and the name of Ross is no stranger to them. But Arnon stares at Ross and shows a little disbelief. He doesnt look like the legendary strong man. Hes a little too skinny. Not to mention that compared with the adults, even if he is to be compared, he is a little short and it looks like his little slender arms and legs can be broken by a slight twist. Ghost Hand Ross? Some giants nearby also discovered Ross, and they showed a lot of different expressions. For Ross, the Fifth Emperor of the New World and the one who Hajrudin is currently working for, they are naturally clear about him. Their idea of ??Ross is that he is incredibly terrifying, but the current image is somewhat hilarious. Its like normal people often hear about the terrifying existence in the sea, but suddenly one day they see him and find that he is a Dwarves race only the size of a palm. Thats the same kind of funny feeling. Is it wrong? Someone whispered. Nearby a person is also shocked and said while being a little unconvinced: this Its not quite what we thought it would be. They havent seen Kaido and Whitebeard, but BIGMOM lived here for a while, and the body of BIGMOM is not much different from the size of the Giant. Does such a thin and small body really have the amazing power in the rumor? I am very sorry, Captain Ross. Gerd saw the faces of the giants and looked at Ross apologetically. Ross didnt mind and said with a smile: Its All right. If he saw someone from Dwarves Race, known as the worlds strongest power, he will also have the same doubt and funny feeling. Ward! Just when everyone was suspicious, Hajrudin shouted at the one who was whispering and said: Captains strength is ten times stronger than mine. If you doubt Captains power, then come and fight me first! The Giants have always been straight and simple, just like Dwarves Race and the Giants have almost no concept of lying. When they heard Hajrudin, many giants were a little surprised. They didnt expect Hajrudin to think that his strength was ten times weaker than Ross. They wouldnt doubt Hajrudins words, but the results were a little too unbelievable. Are you telling the truth? Hajrudin The Giant named Ward pushed his way out of the crowd and tilting his head to look at Ross and then back to Hajrudin, he is a giant of Hajrudins age, who had fought and contended with Hajrudin from childhood, and who had stayed in Elbaff when Hajrudin went to the sea. As for Hajrudins fame in the outside world, there was no such emotion as jealousy. While he was happy for Hajrudin, his heart was also a little emotional. His last fight with Hajrudin was already more than ten years ago. Dont you believe it? Hajrudin stared at Ward without a smile and raised his chin slightly. Do you still want me to teach you again? Ward grinned. Youve always lost more, Hajrudin, he said. In the last ten years or so, youve grown stronger. As he said this, he went to Hajrudin, intending to compete with him. Many giants on the side saw this and retreated to both sides. They also wanted to see how much stronger Hajrudin, who had made a big name outside, has gotten. CHAPTER 268 HOW BIG THE WORLD IS… Watch out! Ward walked towards Hajrudin and put on a battle stance. He roared and rushed into the front and punched Hajrudin. However. Faced with Wards fist, Hajrudin did not make any dodge and block action, he stood on the same spot with a cold and solemnly look, letting the fist hit on his face. Ward stared. He did not expect that Hajrudin would not dodge or counter-attack. He was unable to take back his fist. To his surprise, it hit Hajrudin on the cheek, but it felt as if his fist had hit empty air! Zi Zi! Hajrudins face and chin suddenly turned into white lightning. After being broken up by the punch, he recovered to his original state without any damage. This What happened?! Many Giants were shocked when they saw this scene. There are also giants who have gone to the sea and they recognized this ability of thunder and lightning, and said: its Devil Fruit, Logia Class Devil Fruit! Thunder? Hajrudin has such power. No wonder he is called the Thunder Giant! Many people were shocked. Even the Giant Patriarch old Jorul, who was 400 years old and had white hair and a rickety body, opened his turbid eyes and looked stunned. Ward punched the empty air and his body fell a little forward. He stabilized his body and looked at his fist and looking up at Hajrudin again. It turned out to be like this. No wonder the outsider gave you a Thunder title His face sank a little. The thunder represented such terrible power that even though he was a giant, he was no match for it but he could not easily give up. He clenched his fist, drawing strength from his body, and gave a sudden roar. Elbafguns! Buzz!! As he punched out, a powerful impact suddenly hit Hajrudins body. Lightning strike! Hajrudins unshakable eyes finally flashed with a little wave. He didnt stand still anymore, but he shook his fist and hit Ward with a blow in the burst of thunder arc. Crackling! The thunder arc was intertwined in the field, breaking Wards Elbafs guns almost instantaneously and hit his body, making him instantly stunned. Wards whole body was in the same place, and his body and mouth were filled with black smoke, which dissipated in the air. Splash! Half a second later, Wards whole body fell to the ground and hit it. One Move Many Giants looked at this scene and couldnt help but reveal a bit of shock. Ward is also a very strong warrior. He once dueled with Hajrudin many times, winning more and losing less. But now, even Hajrudins single move cant be stopped by him and he was defeated in an instant! Gerd looked at Ward, who was hit by the thunder and did not show any unexpected expression. She was very clear about how far the current Hajrudin and others were. And the power to do this comes from Ross. This is an unrequitable favor. They will only fight for Ross with their life! Cure. Gerd breathed a sigh of relief and pointed her finger at Ward. A glimpse of the white light flew out and fell into Wards body, giving him emergency treatment. The doctors in the Giants stepped forward to check Wards condition and breathed a sigh of relief. Hes fine, take him back. Turning around. The look in the eyes of many Giants has changed as they looked at Hajrudin. Some people have shown a little awe. Todays Hajrudin is quite different from that of the past! While in awe of Hajrudins Power, some people cant help but think that Hajrudin said that Rosss strength is ten times stronger than him, and they couldnt help but look at him. Hajrudin will not lie. Even if he exaggerated a bit, Ross is definitely better than Hajrudin! With Hajrudins strength now, he can defeat Ward with one hit then how strong is Ross? His incredibly thin and small body contains more power than Hajrudin! Ross sat on Gerds shoulder, his hands crossed on his lap, his expressions were calm as he looked at the giants and he said. I often listen to Gerd talking about Elbaf, saying that the Giants are natural warriors, and I do believe that the Giants have extraordinary strength. But. Ross pointed to Ward who was carried down and said: This power is not enough. When they heard Ross, many Giants looked at each other and no one spoke. They were thinking about what kind of power Ross, who is better than Hajrudin, has. Under the watchful eyes of countless Giants, Ross flew up from Gerds shoulders, overlooking the ground below. His eyes were light and his right hand gently pulled out the Cursed Blade Murasame. Do you know how big the world is? If you dont know, Ill show you. As his voice fell, Ross raised the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand and swayed it at the sea. Bang! A sword falls and the sea is overturned! They can only see the sea, which stretches for several kilometers, surging into the sky and it seems to rush into the clouds, turning into a vast and majestic waterfall, stretching to the end of the sky, connecting the sky and the sea together! Countless giant fish, even sea king, are struggling over the waterfall. Their huge eyes seem to be full of panic and confusion. It is difficult to describe this picture in words. All the giants, at this moment, are all in a state of stupidity. The eyes of countless people are filled with this unbelievable scene, and their hearts and minds are shocked! Compared with the vast waterfall-like waves across the sky, Rosss figure floating in the sky is as small as a black spot. But. There is no need to exude any grandeur. Just this picture alone will be forever frozen in the heart of all giants! The power of Captain I am still far behind. Hajrudin murmured. Gerd looked at the waterfall-like sea across the sky, with deep respect and worship on her face. Such power, even for the giants, is hard to reach in their life. On the sea. The Captain is messing up again. The look on Ficheux Ermans face was priceless. Even if it is to deter the giants, Law sighs, this is a bit too much. Robin tilted her head and said, So what. He is still the Captain The vast waterfall stopped in the sky for two seconds and then began to fall towards the sea. It fell into the sea, making the whole sea crazy and turbulent, setting off a terrible wave, and coming to the direction of Elbaf. Ross swept the waves that had been pressed across and took the Cursed Blade Murasame back and turned his back, not looking at the waves that swept through. Whiz! Just the next moment. Shiliew of the rain blows a puff of smoke, shakes his head a little and rushes out of the ship, he pulls out the second generation ghost blade and stabs it into the wave. Frozen Crime. Whoosh! The surging waves take the place where his sword edge pierced as the center and freeze in all directions. In a moment, the surging waves turn into a shocking iceberg. Really Its boring enough. Shiliew of the Rain pulled out the blade. Rosss Kenbonshoku (Observation) found out the following things and he silently gave Shiliew of the Rain a victory in his mind, and positioned himself calmly in the sky, overlooking the many giants in Elbaf. CHAPTER 269 TRANSACTION Ross and others stayed in Elbaf for ten days. Originally, three giants intended to join Hajrudin, but when Hajrudin told them that their next goal was to deal with BIGMOM Charlotte Linlin, there were five more giants in an instant. There are not many giants. Eight giants are equal to the strength of an army. Naturally. The giants without devil fruits ability are also limited in strength. Among them, Yura and Sindra, the two elites, have the ability to deal with ordinary cadres of the Donquixote family, while the rest are inferior. In fact, Hajrudin has already gained the reputation of becoming a leader of the giant clan. In this case, its ok to draw more giant forces, but Ross thinks that eight are enough. In the future, he may not even be able to find eight suitable devil fruits for them. There is a shortage of Devil Fruit. On the deck, Ross thought a little, then said to Laffitte: The heart of tenryubito, you squeeze it twice in a while, and when the government contacts, you say that we want to trade the heart for Devil Fruit. The heart of tenryubito is no longer important. If it can be changed to several Devil Fruits, it will be off good use. Oh, I understand. Laffittes face showed a wicked smile, and after nodding, he walked into the cabin. Three days after leaving Elbuf, the World Government called the Den Den Mushi of the CP0 Division Captain and contacted Lafitte. What do you want? On the other side of Den Den Mushi, the low voice of Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) came. The Ghost Hand Pirates squeezed the heart of Mjosgard for two or three consecutive days. They definitely had a plan in doing this. But guess what, there was nothing they could do to get Mjosgard heart back from them, even though the last call with Ross had been very unpleasant, they still had to contact him again. Hahaha Captain said if you want to get back this heart, use Devil Fruit to trade. Laffitte took Den Den Mushi and replied with a smirk. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) became silent on the other side. Its not because Ross wants Devil Fruit, but because Ross actually let his subordinate talk to them. Is he even giving them any respect? Who are you, Ghost Hand? One of Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) asked and he was forced to swallow his anger. Laffitte grinned and said: No name, I dont think it would enter your ears. As for our Captain, he is taking a shower. Bastard!! A Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) slaps the table and almost couldnt control his emotions. Intelligence said that they went to Elbaf. A Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) snorted and said: It may be that he recruited a new giant crew in Elbaf, so he needs devil fruit to continue to build the giant Corps. Hes crazy. Those muscle brained idiots There was a flash of anger in the eyes of a nearby Gorosei (Five Elder Stars). They want to annihilate Elbaf, but there are many giants in the Marine who are Vice-Admiral and are at many other posts. The World Government also has the power of the Giants in their forces but if they destroy Elbaf, their homeland than they will retaliate and join forces with Ross. It would be like stabbing themselves in the foot with an axe in their own hands. Five people temporarily cut off the Den Den Mushi and talked to each other. Devil Fruit is not a precious thing for World Government. Some tenryubito even take it casually, but if it falls in the hands of Ross, the situation would be completely different. The terrible power of the Giant Corps is famous in the world. Now the whole world is clear about the tyrannical power of the Giants who eat Devil Fruit. Finally. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) still made the decision. Did you finally make a decision? Laffitte stood leaning against the wall with a sly look. He knew that Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) were discussing, but he was not in a hurry. After a moment, he asked with a smile. Trading with the government is a dangerous thing, so Rosss attitude is naturally to trade with them, and it doesnt matter if he doesnt get anything. There is no loss for him. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) has not been urged to do anything for a long time, but at this time, they can only suppress the anger in their hearts. One of them said: Yes. Well, lets talk about quantity. As the world government, there should be a lot of devil fruit with you, right? I believe you will not care about ten or eight, ho ho ho ho ho ho. Stop Dreaming. A Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) spoke in a deep voice. Your identity is that of a pirate. It would be very costly for us to encourage your power. We can trade a Devil Fruit with you at most. Laffitte smiled and said: Then Captain will be very dissatisfied, maybe he will do something unethical. Are you threatening us? A Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) said with a cold face. Laffitte said: No, dont misunderstand, I am just reminding Naturally, our Captain is kind and will not take a life just for fun, a Devil Fruit can be traded, but it must be a Logia. Impossible! A Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) dismissed the suggestion immediately. The value of Logia Devil Fruit is clear, even the weaker Logia user is almost invincible for those who dont have them. If its a Paramecia Devil Fruit, you need to give two and if they are Zoan than three. How to trade, you have to decide yourself, and whether you want to trade or not is all up to you. Laffitte smiled and hang up the Den Den Mushi after finishing the last sentence. Ross was standing opposite him, standing with his back against the wall, his hands stacked on his chest. He saw Lafitte hang up and said, thats a good talk. His reasons for letting Laffitte talk to Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) on the one hand is that he is too lazy to communicate with Gorsei (Five Elder Stars). On the other hand, Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) is just the core of power in the government, in five people. There are other existences above them. They belong to the category of subordinates, which is very reasonable. Lafitte smiled and said, I dont know if the government will agree. Who knows? Ross didnt care to say: Even if they agree, the government wont simply send Devil Fruit out. After a while. The phone on the World Government side was dialed again. This time it was not called by Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), but a government official. He spoke quietly. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) Sama agrees to trade with a Logia Devil Fruit, but the trading location needs to be specified by us. Oh you specify the trading location. If it is specified in Mariejois or Marine Headquarters, I am afraid it is not a transaction, but coercion. Lafittes tone was filled with sarcasm. The government official said: It will not be specified in Mariejois and Marine Headquarters, but it is impossible for you to specify the location. Dont forget that you are a pirate, which is the least credible. Laffitte held down Den Den Mushi and turned to look at Ross. Tell them to designate sea area at most, Ross said quietly. We will determine the Island. Lafitte repeats Rosss words. The government officials there fell silent and didnt respond for a long time. He seemed to ask for the opinions of Gorssei (Five Elder Stars) and finally gave a reply in a few minutes. Ok. CHAPTER 270 ARRIVING CRISIS World Government is willing to trade with a Logia Devil Fruit, which was a bit unexpected for Ross, who had expected to go with two Paramecia or three Zones. But. This Logia must not be a very strong Logia Fruit. This is certain, otherwise, the government will never take it out, and it is mostly something like a Smoke-Smoke fruit. However, a Logia fruit will always remain a Logia fruit. Without too much development, it will be able to exert its great power. There are few Paramecia Devil Fruit that can be compared with Logia Devil Fruit as soon as paramecia come up. There are many Paramecia Devil Fruit that needs to awaken before they can compete with Logia. Finally. World Government made a deal with Ross, and the location was determined to be New World, Flame Island, which are hot all year round and rarely inhabited. Flame Island Laffitte looked at the map and marked the location of the Flame Island, thinking of something. The sea area given to Ross covers seven or eight islands. This flame island is one of them. However, the government chose this island and they definitely had some other purpose. The obvious point is that the island is closer to the Marine branch base on the Red Line. Its unclear if the other party has any other ideas, as there are few intelligence sources on Flame Island. Do you really want to do this dangerous business with the government? Its impossible for the government to let us take away a Logia Devil Fruit easily, said Ficheux Erman, his eyes flashing. Of course, we are going. Ross snorted and said: Since the other party took out a Logia Devil Fruit, why wouldnt we go? But we dont need everyone to go, I can do it alone. For current Ross, with his Space Distortion ability. Although it is impossible for him to win against two Admiral in a fight but if he wants to run away then even if Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu fought against him, he will still be able to. It is extremely difficult to kill a top combatant. No one has been able to kill Kaido so far, and Ross has entered the category of people who are extremely difficult to beat. It would be very hard for anyone to defeat him much less kill him. Alone? Are you sure? Shiliew of the Rain paused for a moment and looked at Ross seriously. Robin refused: No, the risk is too great. Ross gently smiled and stretched his finger across Robins cheek. There is a risk in dealing with the government, but in some ways, I am at lower risk if I am alone. If World Government intends to take this opportunity to encircle the Ghost Hand Pirates, they will certainly send out Three Admiral or more battle powers, they will probably send out at least two Admiral plus two Admiral alternates candidates, or an Admiral or a government internal battle force. In such a situation, the odds are very low for them. Once they fight, even if they can evacuate finally, it is normal for casualties to occur. In turn. If Ross goes alone, though the danger will be concentrated on himself, there is no such thing as encircling and chasing with the power of Distortion Space. Kizaru himself may not be able to catch up with him, let alone other people. Seeing that Ross had made a decision, the people present at the scene looked at each other and didnt talk anymore. As their Captain, Ross made a decision, it is naturally irrefutable. Even Robin did not refute this time, but after returning to the room, she tried to let Ross dispel the idea of ??going alone. If Laws strength was stronger, I might have brought him, but unfortunately his current ability does not meet the standards I need. It wont be easy for him to get out if he is encircled. Ross is still not going to bring anyone. He wants to leave alone, there is no need to talk about his ability, but if he brings another person, even if it is Ficheux Erman, he may not be able to guarantee their safety. Flame Island. This is an island with three volcanoes, one of which is an extinct volcano and the other two are active volcanoes but they only erupted once in recent decades. The atmosphere on the entire island is extremely hot, but there is still vegetation growing here, some of which seem strange. This place is a good choice for the deal. On the edge of the island, at the foot of one of the volcanoes, the alternate Admiral Tokikake took out a wooden box with a sweat on it and stood there, seeming to have been there for a while. Looking at the sea, he saw that there was no shadow of any boat. Tokikake shook his head, picked up the wooden box and looked at it carefully, then opened it gently. Inside the box is a weird Devil Fruit. Look at the shape, there is no doubt that this is a Logias Devil Fruit, it is light blue in color, and the pattern above it is like a piece of creeping candle. Is that the one? Somehow, Ross appeared behind Tokikake, looking calmly at the wooden box in Tokikakes hand, or looking at the Devil Fruit in the wooden box. For the arrival of Ross, Tokikake did not show any surprises. His Kenbonshoku (Observation), the peak of Future Prediction, had seen the emergence of Ross in advance. Yes, thats it. Tokikake turned his head, with a cigarette in his mouth and he looked at Rosss gaze with a hint of complexity and a slight sigh. Even if the other party didnt want to be Marine, you can force the other party to go to this step from being a pirate hunter. Why did they bother? Is that the heart of tenryubito? Tokikake looked at the heart that Ross was holding in his hand, asking for a beating heart. He must confirm. Ross is expressionless, holding the fingers on the heart lightly and squeezing it a little. Tokikakes mouth twitched slightly. Before Den Den Mushi rings, he takes out the Den Den Mushi out of his pocket one step in advance and then connects it at the moment when the Den Den Mushi rings. There seems to be no problem. After confirming the message from the other side of Den Den Mushi, Tokikake nodded and took back the Den Den Mushi and he took out the Devil Fruit out of the wooden box and motioned to Ross: Count to three and lose at the same time? Sure. Tokikake nodded, staring firmly at the heart in Rosss hand and said: One Two Three! At the moment of counting to three, he did not hesitate and threw out Devil Fruit directly, because he had already seen Ross throwing the heart in advance. He is very clear about Rosss ability. Without taking the heart to his hand, he doesnt have any strength to snatch his heart in midair. Even if he predicted ahead of time, he just confirmed that Ross didnt cheat him. The two steadily caught what the other party had thrown. Logia Devil Fruit Ross looked at Devil Fruit in his hand and his eyes flashed slightly. At the moment it came in his hand, Ross confirmed that the Devil Fruit is indeed a Logia Devil Fruit. The only question is what kind of Devil Fruit this is. He still cant recognize it and needs to get it back to identify it. Sorry. After taking the heart, Tokikake didnt observe it and put it directly into his pocket, while looking at Ross who was still watching Devil Fruit. Whiz! Whiz! Almost at the moment when his voice fell, two figures rushed from left and right, sandwiching Ross in the middle. One of them turned into a golden glitter, it was Marine Admiral Kizaru, and the other person in wearing the Justice Clock with pink cuffs, it was Momousagi! The crisis arrived! CHAPTER 271 CALM Flower Dance Of Thousand Souls! Momousagi held his Named Sword in his hand, and the sword arts of the top swordsmen show up. Its sharp edge seems to cut the nearby voids into sections as it sped towards Ross. Kizaru, on the other side, is also shooting a series of intense lasers at Ross at its most extreme speed, blocking the front and all the dodging areas of Ross. But. Faced with the attacks of Momousagi and Kizaru, Ross closed his eyes. Bang! Bang! Bang! The loud bang sound exploded in the air as the attacks hit the air. Only for Ross to put the Logia Devil fruit in his pocket, and the whole person came out of the explosion area like a phantom. From the beginning to the end, Ross did not use any strength to resist the sword arts or the laser attacks. The strong sound from the void was completely caused by the collision between the sword arts and laser. From the perspective of Momousagi and Kizaru, their attacks seemed to pass through the body of Ross but then it turned into a confrontation between the sword arts and laser. And in the direction of Momousagi and Kizaru. The figure of Ross in front of them disappeared out of thin air as if space had been pulled and forced together, completely bypassing Rosss body. This ability is troublesome Tokikake had already foreseen this scene, but he gave a slightly painful look because even if he had known it in advance, he could not have figured out how to crack it. As a result, Tokikake has no choice but to attack Ross. But. Still oblivious to Tokikakes attack, Ross strolls toward the shore and ignored the sword arts or laser attacks, they had no impact on him and they couldnt even touch his clothes. Tokikake and others Armament Haki is also very strong, but there is still some slight gaps in their strength compared to Kaido. It is these gaps that make it impossible for them to break through the wall of Rosss space! Ice Age! Just as Ross walked to the shore, a low-voice sounded and the whole sea was instantly frozen and turned into a vast ice surface, and the ice spread to the shore. Aokiji appeared! Two in-service Admiral, two alternate Admiral, Marine Headquarters four top battle power has gathered here! What is this concept? BIGMOM would have been bombed on the spot by this amount of power and even Kaido would be suppressed, even if it is Whitebeard, he would hate to face four Admiral-level combat forces! The condensed ice layer was wrapped in extreme cold and it came to Rosss feet in a flash. But. It still didnt have any impact on Ross! Ross strolled along under the furious attacks of the four men and stepped onto the frozen sea without any movement on his face or even lifting his eyes! How is this possible! Aokiji was shocked Last time intelligence report said that Ross had some kind of strong defense. But it didnt say that he would be able to walk leisurely like taking a walk in the garden while facing four Admiral level powers. This is too exaggerated. This scene also caused serious discomfort for Momousagi, Kizaru and others. Obviously, their Observation Haki can sense that Ross is there, but no matter what type of attack they hit him with, it cant touch him at all, what the hell are they supposed to do here? Bang! Bang! Whether Aokiji made Ice walls or made huge icicle pucks and hit them on Ross but it didnt do anything and he was unable to stop Rosss footsteps. Ahh Are you kidding me? He released several moves in a row and found that there was no moves left for him to use. Finally, he stopped. His pupil contracted in his eyes, but at the same time, he also showed an undisguised shock. Eight Shaku Curved Jewel (Yasakani no Magatama)! Kizaru flew into the sky, and countless dense light dots fell down on Rosss body, causing the frozen sea to roar and burst. But Ross seemed to completely ignore his existence as he walked out of the area hit by the laser under the watchful eyes of everyone. Go To come out This is serious. Kizaru turns into a golden light and falls on the ice in the distance. His tone is still a little indecent, but its a little shaky. Its obviously filled with shock! Ross did not launch an attack, because the Wall of the Space Distortion is completely isolated him inside and outside. To attack him, they must first disperse the wall of space. So he gave the opportunity to Aokiji, Kizaru, and others to attack him to test his defense. And. There is no need to attack anymore. To stroll away while being attacked by two alternate Admiral and the two Marine Admiral. This scene would be enough to shock the world! How could this be. Momousagi clenched the hilt of his sword and bite her teeth slightly. For the swordsman, watching the enemy ignore her and just walking through before her eyes, it is no doubt that this scene is great destruction of her sword heart and will! With her unwillingness, she condensed her sword attack into a single point and condensed her Armament Haki on the sword edge, an amazing wave spread from her sword edge, as if her whole person has turned into the handle of the sword edge of the cloud. Under the psychological influence of Ross, her sword even shows signs of breaking through her former self, which is even stronger than Shiliew of the Rains sword arts! Swords flowSakura Robbery! Whiz! The moment the sword was cut out, it seems to have crossed a certain threshold and reached a perfect condensation with the Armament Haki. The sword, with the petals of pink cherry blossom, thrusts itself into Rosss heart, without being distorted by the Distortion. But. This is the limit. Her Armament Haki is a little bit worse and because of that, it is already impossible to break through the wall of Space Distortion with the sword arts. Its impossible to cause any attack. Not bad. Rosss dull eyes, for the first time, shifted their angle and he looked at Momousagis sword through the Space Distortion Wall that stabbed towards his heart. The Space Wall Distortion is the maximum output of his power of distortion. The breakthrough of the sword shows that the attack power of Momousagi is more powerful than Aokiji or Kizaru. But this is also understandable, because she is a swordsman, and most of the swordsmen are sacrificing defense in exchange for the ultimate attack. Ding! Ross didnt disperse the Space Wall Distortion and didnt give Tokikake and Aokiji any chance. He raised his right hand and condensed the Black Armament Haki on his finger and slammed it against Momousagis sword. Breaking through to the Wall of Space Distortion is also the limit of Momousagi. The power behind this sword can be utilized by a few in this world. Under the Ross push, it is finally crowded out by the Space Distortion. Ice Block: Pheasant Beak! Amaterasu(Heavenly Illumination)! Aokiji and Kizaru realized that Momousagi has broken through Rosss weird defense and thought that it was an opportunity and launched an attack without hesitation. But because Ross never let go of the Wall of Space Distortion, the attacks still didnt cause any damage to Ross. No use! Its impeccable. Tokikake had already seen this scene, so he didnt join in the attack, but shook his head. It can be seen from Momousagis attack that can break through Rosss strange defense that this ability of Ross is not an absolute defense that cant be broken through. But there is no doubt that to break through this defense, you must have a very high-quality Armament Haki, or Momousagis Momousagis latest breakthrough in sword arts. Other than that. All attacks cant break Ross defense. Aokiji and Kizaru are Logia users and Logia attacks are difficult to attach with extremely high quality Armament Haki, and he himself cannot do it because he practices Kenbonshoku (Observation) and is not good at Armament Haki. Chapter 272 2 Billion Bounty Only if Garp was here. Tokikake sighed in his heart. In fact, Garp was also informed about this operation, but Garp did not want to participate in it. Aokiji and Kizaru did not give up and continued to attack Ross, trying to make an opportunity for Momousagi. Under the influence of Ross, Momousagi broke through her limit and continued to attack Ross like a storm. Now she is even better than Aokiji or Kizaru in terms of simple attacks. Her overall strength has reached the level of Aokiji and Kizaru. Bang! Bang! Bang! Aokiji and Kizaru did not give up their attacks, even though they felt that the attacks were ineffective, they still continued to attack. There is no such thing as an absolutely ineffective attack in the world. Just because a strong Armament Haki can easily block the gunfire does not mean that the gunfire is completely ineffective, it still can cost their Haki and their stamina. And. Since Momousagi can break through the strange defenses of Ross, it shows that Rosss defense is not completely unsolvable. Under the violent attacks of Aokiji and Kizaru, Momousagi entered a strange state and her mind completely seemed to merge with the blade. After stopping for two seconds, she grasped the hilt of her sword with both hands and her eyes suddenly burst out with a sharp light that had never been seen before. Buzz!! A stronger sword attack than before surged up. She suddenly looked up and looked at Ross, and her eyes were just like a sword. Heart sword flow Flash! Almost in an instant, she appeared in front of Ross and the blade fell down with a sharp chop. The pressure of the sword blended perfectly with her Armament Haki and when she reached the Distortion Space Wall, it became slow, just like cutting Into a paste. Despite some difficulties, this sword broke through the blockade of the Distortion Space Wall. Ding! Faced with Momousagis attack which once again broke through the Distortion Space Wall, Ross bent a finger and bounced off the blade again. At the same time, he looked at her and blinked slightly. A breakthrough in Battle? I didnt expect that I would meet this kind of thing. But, this will stop here. Rosss eyes are calm again. At the moment when Kizaru and Aokijis attack stops, he moved away with Space Distortion and appeared a kilometer away. Momousagi can break through the limit at this time. If he continues to fight here like that, the battle may be overturned. There are many special abilities in this world, such as Barrier Barrier fruit, which is also able to resist the attack of an Admiral whose Armament Haki hadnt reached the limit. However, its obvious that the Barrier Barrier Fruit alone cant be the opponent of an Admiral and using it is also time-consuming and stamina consuming. Todays Ross is able to get out without being injured in front of four Admirals but when it come to fighting, he cant defeat them and he wouldnt be able to kill an Admiral in a short time. But. The special nature of the Distortion Space Wall is like the divine power of the universe, wisdom, wave, and earth. Unless it is a space-based related ability or a force that can destroy space, he is immune to all other attacks. Whiz! Kizaru turned into a golden light trying to catch up, but when he first arrived at Rosss position, Ross once again crossed the space. After several consecutive times, he is far away from Aokiji and Momousagi and others. Kizaru did not dare to catch up with him alone and could only helplessly return. The four people gathered again and no one spoke as they looked at each other. Apart from Momosagis depression, the faces of the other three were also unnatural. Four people ambushed and they originally intended to encircle the entire Ghost Hand Pirates. The result came as Ross alone was able to calmly escape from the siege laid by these four people. Sure enough, he has grown into a big problem. Aokiji rubbed his eyebrows as he finally began to have a headache. The frontal attack of Whitebeard Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) is unstoppable, Kaidos undead body is unkillable, and Akagamis (Red Hair)s Haki is enough to fight against all Devil Fruit abilities. These Emperors of the sea, they each have a special ability and now Ross is undoubtedly one of them. A space barrier that cannot be broken. He can come and move freely. There is no doubt that Rosss most prominent point is his flexibility, even if he is surrounded by four Admiral-level combat forces, he can easily escape depending upon his flexibility. In a sense, Rosss existence is even more troublesome than Hundred Beast Kaido and Whitebeard! Just when the atmosphere between the four people was depressing. In the distance, some of the stationed Marines arrived late and they looked at the positions of Aokiji and Kizaru. Over there! Is battle over so soon? Looking out over the frozen sea, A Rear Admiral said in a doubtful tone. A Vice Admiral squinted a little and said, It seems that only one person came from the Ghost Hand Pirates. Its reasonable for the fight to end soon. If there is only one person, facing the lineup of Momousagi, Tokikake, Aokiji, and Kizaru, it is normal for that person to be apprehended or killed soon. Many Marines quickly went towards them, and someone took out the seastone shackles. However. As the distance gradually approached, the Vice-Admiral and Rear Admiral found that there were only four people in the frozen sea, such as Aokiji Kizaru and other two and there were no other figures. Aokiji turns around and looks at the many Marines running over. He says in a low voice: Lets go. Admiral A Vice-Admiral looked at Aokiji and said: The murderer just Cant you still see it? He ran away! Tokikake blew a cloud of smoke at the Vice-Admiral and interrupted him. Numerous Marines have stopped when they heard Tokikakes words, all showing a blank and incredible expression. Ran Away? He was able to run away even when facing Aokiji, Kizaru, Tokikake, and Momousagi? What Are you kidding The Rear Admiral wasnt convinced and he almost subconsciously spoke out. Tokikake glanced at Rear Admiral, but he was too lazy to talk again and turned away directly, and Momousagi and others did not speak, and their expressions were all a little low. Seeing the appearance of Tokikake, Aokiji, and others, many Marines are shocked. Even if they dont believe it anymore, there seems to be only one answer at the moment. The enemy is really gone. He walked away under the combined siege of four Admiral forces! A few days later. World Government updated the Bounty orders, Rosss bounty increased to 2 Billion Berries and Shiliew of the Rains bounty increased to 1.2 billion, and the bounty of others remained basically unchanged. Two billion bounty! This is already a high and appalling amount. With the renewal of the Bounty order, the things happened on the flame island quickly spread in the sea. There are few people who know about the trading business between Ross and World Government. Why did Ross appear on Flame Island, only a few people know what is going on. But. What countless people know is that in the two Marine Admirals and two Admiral alternates laid an heavy ambush against Ghost Hand Ross and Ross was able to get away by himself! Ross retreated in the face of the four Admiral-class combat powers, the leader of many organization are full of unbelief when they heard this news. Its like a fantasy! But. Even if you dont believe it, the facts are irrefutable. No one knows the process of the fight, and no one knows how Ross went away, but from this day, in addition to the Undead Hundred Beast Kaido and the worlds strongest man, Whitebeard, there is another face in the sea. Monsters who can retreat in the face of Admirals and one more name got added in the category of these monsters. Ghost Hand Ross! CHAPTER 273 STICK-STICK FRUI Failed. What happened to the Marine?! In Holy Land Mariejois, Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) learned the news of the failer of Marines and their faces were extremely depressed and they even vaguely revealed a bit of anger. But After listening to the briefing in detail, all five knew that Aokiji and others were not to blame. Spatial capabilities Can Distortion Fruit be developed to such an extent? Why havent we heard of it before? Holding the sword, the Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) kneads his eyebrows, feeling only a dull pain in his skull. If its a space-based ability, theres really nothing else you can do except maybe use the same space-based ability or maybe the most developed version of the Armament Haki. The only good news is that Momousagis sword arts have improved. A Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) sighed and took a cup of tea on the coffee table. Momousagis own strength is not far from Aokiji and others. Now, with the improvement of her sword arts, it is enough for her to be qualified for the position of Marine Admiral. As a woman, it is not easy to achieve this level of sword arts. In history, Greatest Swordsman in the Worlds position has never been seated by a woman. Momosagi certainly has some hope. But what to do with the Ghost Hand Pirates. A Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) still moved the subject back to the Ghost Hand Pirates. This is a problem that they have to face now. Previously, they also considered Ross and other Yonk (Four Emperors) to fight each other, but now, no matter how they look, they can only admit that Ghost Hand Pirates has gradually grown better than others Yonks (Four Emperors)! That is to say, in the future battle, the Ghost Hand Pirates will likely be the winner in their future confrontation, and it is still a big problem for them that they are beginning to get headaches. Do you want to ask them to move? A Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) proposed. Next to that Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), another one hesitated: Let them out? But what you said is that it is also time to report things to Sir Im. At the time when Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) were talking, a government official suddenly knocked on the door. Lord Gorsei (Five Elder Stars)! Its the phone call from the Ghost Hand Pirates! Upon hearing this, the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) looked at each other. Four of them didnt open their mouths. They didnt want to answer it, but the last one still said: Come in. Lets listen to what he wants to say. Hearing this, the government officials outside pushed open the door and put a Den Den Mushi on the tea table in front of the Gorosei and Lafittes voice came from Den Den Mushi. Ho, ho, ho. How are you? Im sorry to say that your plan against our Captain failed. Although you did escape from it this time but do you really think that you will be this lucky every time. Gorsei is not angry and one of them speaks indifferently. Laffitte smiled and said, No, but its not what you think. As I said a long time ago, if you dont follow the rules of trading, we can do some unethical things, like The same goes for non-compliance. When they heard Laffitte, the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) felt a bad feeling in their hearts. The Gorosei (Five Elder Stars), which belongs to the Donquixote Family, frowned. What are you going to do? Well When we eat apples, we usually dont eat the core, so we gave you the pulp and kept the core. Lafitte is at the other end of Den Den Mushis smiled wickedly and hangs up the Den Den Mushi. At the same time, he looks at a small piece of wriggling meat in the plate in front of him. That is a piece of meat from inside the heart. With the ability of the Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit, the heart can be continuously divided, so cutting a small piece from the center and then splicing it together is no problem for it. Laffitte picked the piece of meat and gently pinched it. Patter! The meat is broken. On the other side. When the Gorsei saw that theDen Den Mushi was hung up, they faintly became aware that something bad was going to happen. Sure enough. A few minutes after the Den Den Mushi was hung up, an emergency call went directly to the Den Den Mushi in their pocket. A Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) suppressed the bad feeling in his heart and slowly took out the Den Den Mushi and answered it and listened to the news from Den Den Mushi. The faces of the five people were getting darker and darker as they listen to the report from the other side. The atmosphere is depressed. Damn you bastard! The Gorosei with the surname of Donquixote finally couldnt help but slap his palm on the tea table in front of me. The tea table made a sound and broke into pieces of glass and splashed around. The other side. On the sea surface of the New World, two giant ships sail side by side. One of them was inhabited by Ross and Robin, together with the cadre Hajrudin and the giants Gerd, whom Ross designated as the special cadre. Another big ship was inhabited by giants such as Road and Goldberg. In the current Ghost Hand Pirates, Shiliew of the Rain and others are all cadres and Hajrudin, the giant leader, is also one of the cadres, while Sugar and Gerd are defined as special crew members, and can also be considered as special cadres. Whether it is Sugars Hobi Hobi no Mi or Gerds Heal-Heal Fruit, their role is extraordinary and they belong to the category of need to protect at all cost. Other ordinary giants are general crew members. Naturally. The Giants who followed Ross such as Road and Goldberg, now have different code names such as the giants of Sand, and their status is higher than other giants. In one of the ships, in one of the halls, Ross took out the Logia Devil Fruit from his pocket and threw it to Robin. Patter. Robin reached out and took the Devil Fruit and a flash of thought appeared in her black eyes. This doesnt seem to be a Logias Devil Fruit. Huh? Ross looked at Robin strangely. If he remembers correctly, this shape pattern should belong to the Logia class Devil Fruit. Did he got played by the government with a similar Devil Fruit? Robin hesitated slightly before saying: How to say this, the name of this Devil Fruit should be called Stick-Stick Fruit. It should be difficult to define whether it should be classified as a special Paramecia or Logia. When he heard Robins words, Rosss mouth suddenly twitched a little. He knew about the Stick Stick fruit, which came from Trebol, the top cadre of the Donquixote family. That snot used to be so gross. This fruit can indeed turn the body into a slimy state, similar to Katakuris Mochi-Mochi Fruit, which should belong to the special Paramecia, similar to Logia. He didnt really want this Stick-Stick Fruit, so after Trebols death, Ross didnt let Kaku and others pay attention to the news of Stick-Stick Fruit. He didnt expect it to fall into the hands of the government and then he made a deal with it. Whats the matter? Robin looked at Ross strangely and felt that Ross was not looking good. Its nothing. Ross shook his head and restored to his calm appearance. Although this fruit is a little gross but it should vary from person to person, Trebol likes to make a gross state, in general, he should have been able to maintain his normal form. Moreover, the power of this fruit is also good. It has characteristics like glue, which can be used to control and sticky. It can also explode in case of fire, causing huge damage. It is not totally unacceptable. Todays giant regiment really needs a devil fruit of partial restriction type to form a more complete group to play a more powerful role. CHAPTER 274 NEWS OF FUJITORA The ownership of the Stick Stick Fruit was finally given to Yura, the giant elite warrior. The Sticky Giant sounds too low, so Ross thought about it a little and gave the name Biochemical giant, which fits well with the Stick-Stick Fruit. After possessing the power of the biochemical giant, the possibility of destroying the BIGMOM Pirates is already a bit bigger, but it is still not a decisive factor. To say. The BIGMOM Pirates are not as simple as they look on the surface. The Four Sweet Commanders are ranked from high to low. In one-on-one situations, they are not inferior to Shiliew of the Rain, Ficheux Erman, and Hajrudin and they are even better than them. Moreover, the Chef Streusen of BIGMOM Pirates is not a simple character. He can turn the huge City Fortress that is comparable to Citytown into a cake snack. He is the first person to follow BIGMOM and the co-founder of the BIGMOM Pirates. Even if his strength is weaker, he should still be at the level of the four sweet commanders. Each Yonk (Four Emperors) has its own strong points, such as the invisible strength of Whitebeard, the undead body of Kaido, and the strength of the BIGMOM Pirates is greater than her own power. There was no need for a plan to deal with the BIGMOM Pirates. The only thing to consider is Kaido and the World Government, Ross said calmly. But as long as the fight is over quickly enough, that shouldnt be a problem. If, as you said, there is a Chef hidden in BIGMOM that can rival the battle power of three disasters, it will have a great impact on the war situation. Laffitte revealed his thought. Shiliew of the Rain and the other two people can deal with the top three sweet commanders and with the strength of Trafalgar Law, there shouldnt be a problem for him to handle the last one for some time, the Giant Corps and Robin can deal with the BIGMOM Pirates subordinates. Their overall situation is now in place to defeat the BIGMOM Pirates. But the extra presence of a sweet commander level fighter can be difficult to deal with. It is indeed a problem Law said thoughtfully, he had completed the Personality Transplant Surgery for CP0 Division Captain and replaced it with the soul of a loyal and Sky Island person. But there is a problem, in the complete state of CP0 Division Captain, he can indeed fight against a sweet commander level combatant for a short time, but that Sky island person can not display the full strength of the CP0 Division Captain body, even if he is completely adapted, I am afraid he will only be able to display about 70% or 80%. Originally he would be inferior to a sweet commander level combatant and then he got weakened by two or three percent, he is obviously not their opponent. Its Ok to kill a sweet commander in advance. Ross spoke in a calm voice. Although it is a bit shameful to sneak attack and kill a sweet commander but if he takes the lead in sneaking into and sneak attack, with the exception of Katakuri that can use Future Prediction, even if the other sweet commanders are not killed by a single move, they would still suffer a heavy blow and they will completely lose their Battle force. Sneak attack? Everyone in the room thought about it. Neither Laffitte nor Shiliew of the Rain or Ficheux Erman are good people. They will not care if they do a sneak attack. As for Giants, although they advocate battle, as Yoruru once said, BIGMOM is not a human, but a wicked monster in human skin. It doesnt need sympathy and nobility to deal with a monster! However. Just when Ross was going to make a decision, the Den Den Mushi on Robin suddenly sounded. Robin walked out of the room and took Den Den Mushi to answer. After a minute. She returned to the hall and said to Ross: It is the information reported by Kaku. The person you are looking for has been found. Oh? Ross heard the words, and his eyes suddenly flashed. Who is the person he is looking for? No doubt he is a powerful person, who can make the overall strength of the Ghost Hand Pirates soar. With that man, he had once met. Fujitora Isshou. Naturally. The current Fujitora has not yet joined Marines, and there is no Fujitora codename. His name is Isshou. There is no doubt about how strong he is. Even Shiliew of the Rain, whose strength is now almost the same as Admiral, may not be better than Fujitora. And. Compared to other people in Ghost Hand Pirates, Fujitora is a person with a sense of justice, Ross does not like to do something for justice, but these things can be done by Fujitora. The Ghost Hand Pirates is nominally a Pirate group, but Rosss goal is not becoming a Yonk (Four Emperors), nor becoming a Pirate King. It is to overthrow the World Government and establish a new regime. And so. Positive characters are still necessary. A man with the strength of Marine Admiral with a sense of justice, he will not bow down to authority and will not get lost on his way, he will not get nosebleeds after seeing a beautiful woman There is no doubt that such a crew member is the most suitable at present. The first half of the Grand Line? Hearing the location reported by Robin, Ross and Lafitte took out the sea map and determined the location. The place where Fujitora appeared was not in the New World, but in the first half of the Grand Line, and even in the first half of the first half, which is a hemisphere separated from them. Do you want to go? Robin looked at the sea map and asked Ross. Ross thought a little and made a decision. Lets go. After learning a lot about Fujitora from various sources, he was 30 to 40 percent confident that he would get him on board, and 70 percent more if he added that they were going to deal with the BIGMOM Pirates. With 70% confidence, Fujitoras strength is worth a visit. Once Fujitora joins in, it would be no longer a headache for him to kill BIGMOM Pirates. He will also have a territory completely, so he doesnt have to run around anymore. After the order was issued, Ross left the hall. It seems that the Captain is very concerned about that Isshou. Shiliew of the rain sat in the corner, took out the match, slid out the fire, lit the cigar and took a sip. Although Ross did not disclose complete information about Fujitora, how can he not speculate that this Isshou will have extraordinary strength. Ho ho ho ho, He met him once a long time ago. Lafitte knows a little bit more, but he has reservations about the strength of Fujitora because when he meets Fujitora, he is still in the first half of the Grand Line. But. He can be valued by Ross, and even caused him to run to his location in person, his strength must be comparable to Three Disasters, otherwise, with Rosss current identity and abilities, he wouldnt care much about him. Ficheux Erman sat there with his legs raised and his mouth slightly curled. For him to have caused so many of us to go there. We still have a big reputation. I hope he can have the ability to match this motion. They are now the Fifth Emperors of the New World. Not everyone has such a big face. If that person is better then he and Shiliew of the Rain, then all would be good, if he is weaker than them, then their reputation will be dragged. After all. He doesnt know where this Isshou came from and its a name he has never heard of before. Its not famous at all. Lets wait and see. Shiliew of the Rain spit out a smog and left the hall. CHAPTER 275 THE BRAIN IS A GOOD THING In the first half of the Grand Line. On an island. In a noodle shop, a blind man wearing a purple cloak and a black belt was eating noodles on a wooden bench, beside which was a wooden walking stick and clogs. He didnt look untidy, but he looked unremarkable and unimportant. There was no doubt about his identity, and it was only a few years later that he would join the world draft and be promoted to Admirals Fujitora Isshou without changing the course of history. It is now the Great Age of Pirates in September of the 17th year and is close to the Great Age of Pirates 18the year. Luffy went out towards the sea in the Great Age of Pirates 22nd year, and Ace went out to the sea in the 19th year. Bill, please. After eating up the noodles and leaving the soup only at the bottom of the bowl, Fujitora standing up and slowly fumbled for a note from his pocket. After feeling around for its face value, he handed it to the noodle shop boss. The boss smiled and gave Fujitora his change and handed it to him and said: Here, take it, and take your time. Fujitora has been eating here for ten days and he is a frequent visitor who comes frequently in the short term. Fujitoras smiled thickened as he put the change into his pocket and took the wooden pole on the ground, he slowly walked out of the noodle shop and walked along the side of the street. However. Just as he walked into a somewhat remote and dark street, a dozen people suddenly came out from all directions and surrounded him in the middle. Fujitoras face did not change at all. He walked forward calmly, and the wooden staff touched the ground little by little, and finally touched a persons foot. He touched the back of his head and apologized: I am very sorry, this old man cant look at things, can you give me a little space? Of course. The man opened his mouth slowly, but there was a wicked smile on his face. When he got out of the way, he raised his foot to trip Fujitoras leg. However, Fujitora is taking a normal step and it seems to have seen the same but it just passed over the outstretched leg that was there to trip him. The man was slightly surprised but smiled at random. Suddenly he grabbed the Fujitora by the shoulder and hung his arm on his back, saying: I say, if I remember correctly, you won a lot in the casino this month? Your luck is really good. Although Fujitora doesnt go to casinos every day, he has gone to casinos at least a dozen times in more than a month, and although he doesnt win much each time, he leaves when he wins a fixed part, but because of the number of times, its normal for him to be stared at. Yeah, my luck seemed to be good during this time. Fujitora touched the back of his head and smiled, not angered by the rude behavior of the other party. Nearby, a dozen or so people with fierce looks in their eyes smiled at each other as they looked into Fujitoras eyes. Usually, they will not find someone to start trouble with, and naturally, they have to inquire before they start. But after some investigation, their eyes were fixed on Fujitora. In their eyes, Fujitora, a blind man with blind eyes, had no influence. A guy who came alone was just a fat sheep to them! Hey, hey, yeah. The man holding Fujitoras shoulder slowly let go of his arm, and suddenly grabbed Fujitoras collar with his other hand and said. So, our luck is also very good Your eyes are already damaged and you are blind. If your legs are broken, it would be terrible, so to avoid this situation, how about paying little berries to save your legs? One of the people nearby grinned and pulled out a sword with a clanging sound, deliberately making Fujitora hear the sound. Fujitoras complexion remained unchanged, but his head was slightly lowered. Its a good thing that I cant look at things. There are so many I cant bear to see a dirty and despicable person. Buzz!! Almost for a moment, a strange force swung away. The young man who was holding his collar suddenly felt a change. He felt that a force of gravity was suddenly pressing on him. The whole man seemed to be carrying a heavy mountain, and his bones were making sounds. In his surprise, he pulled Fujitoras collar hard, but he still couldnt resist the force. The ground under his feet was broken. The whole man was also forced to fall on the ground, with blood spilling from his mouth. He couldnt even struggle. More than ten people nearby didnt feel anything strange. They noticed that their partner fell down. They thought he was teasing Fujitora. They didnt find anything wrong until they found that there was blood spilling from their partners mouth. Hey! Keto? What happened to you? This playing is going overboard! The group of people was shocked and finally their faces changed as they pulled out their weapons. What have you done?! Someone watched Fujitora with vigilance and asked with a sigh of anger. Fujitora didnt answer. Instead, he used a wooden stick to light the ground, walked forward, and stepped over the fallen murderer. Seeing this scene, the faces of the people nearby changed. Anger flashed in their eyes and one of them aimed a gun at Fujitoras head and shot at him. Bang! A bullet shot towards Fujitoras head. But. Shockingly, within a foot of the area around the Fujitora, the bullet slowed down as if it had preceded by some terrible force and could no longer advance until it landed with a clatter. Fujitora stops. He slowly picks up the stick and holds one end of it. This Whats going on? What did that guy do?! Seeing that the bullet was actually fixed and then dropped, all of them showed a shocking expression, and their foreheads were overflowing with sweat. And just when their hearts were shaking and they didnt know whether to continue for a while, the clear footsteps suddenly came from afar. Tread! Tread! Tread! It was the sound of wooden clogs on the stone path. At the end of the street, a figure came slowly. He was dressed in a black cloak and clogs. His appearance was not untidy, but it was not beautiful either. The brain is a good thing. That person slowly came over, glancing at the murderer who had been crushed to the ground, and more than ten people with guns and swords around him, and said, Pity you guys dont have any. When they heard the voice, the eyes of more than ten people who were present began to shift. They all had a little cold sweat on their forehead. When they saw Rosss appearance, one of them said with a quiver in his tone. You are you There was a look of horror on his face. Even when Fujitora stopped the bullet with some strange ability, he did not show such an expression. Not only was his forehead overflowing with cold sweat, but his entire back was filled with sweat. The people next to him reacted slowly, but after the reaction, their faces changed dramatically. They all took a breath of cold air and felt their legs and feet softened for a while. Ghost Ghost Hand Someone shuddered and said the name, and the whole man sat down on the ground. Grand Line. Fifth Emperor! CHAPTER 276 SURGERY Fujitora paused for a moment, ignoring the dozen or so assailants around hin. Instead, he looked up in the direction Ross had come and opened his eyes, which were white with no pupils. Long time no see. Ross took another two steps forward, stopping three meters away from Fujitora and smiled at him. When they last met, he still needed to run for survival as a new Supernova and was followed by Aokiji and almost lost the entire group. And now. He is already one of the Five Emperors of New World, overlooking this Grand Line. He doesnt need to dress up so exquisitely, show any momentum, or even show any eyes deliberately. Just his plain appearance is enough to make countless people fear it. I have encountered some embarrassing things, let your excellency laugh. Fujitora slowly put down the wooden staff and looked at Ross with an amiable smile. Ross said with a smile: In this world, how can we avoid all the filth and evil? Even if we close our eyes, we will always meet them. Its very difficult to stay out of their way. Listening to the conversation between Ross and Fujitora. More than ten people nearby didnt relax because they ignored them. Instead, their fear grew stronger and stronger because the blind man they attacked could talk to Ghost Hand Ross like an old friend! Its like seeing a ghost, isnt he just an ordinary blind man? ! The group of people are all frozen in place. Some people have the idea of running away in their hearts. But their legs are like lead. Its hard to lift them. The whole person seems to have become a clay plastic wooden tire. They can only watch Ross and Fujitora talking from the sidelines. Ugh Fujitora sighed when he heard Ross. Indeed, as Ross said, in this era, they cant avoid it. This is a Great Age of Pirates, a chaotic era in which countless pirates and wicked people are running rampant. Even if the government and marine maintain order, they are only limited to a certain extent. The world has broken down. But to behave as your excellency would only make the confusion worse. Fujitoras slowly said. Since he met Ross on that island, he often paid attention to the news of Ross. Although he didnt deliberately inquire about it, he basically knew it in the newspaper. From the newspaper, he knows Rosss past and knows why Ross has become a pirate and he is very clear about Rosss actions along the way. He is not clumsy. Contrary to his simple and honest appearance, he has a clear mind. Ross appeared here and took the initiative to find him, he does not think it is a coincidence, because Rosss current identity represents something too heavy for it to be a coincidence. If it wasnt a coincidence, then he would have a pretty good idea of ??what Ross wanted to do. World Government, is it God? Ross gently smiled and did not answer Fujitoras question but asked one. Fujitoras hand holding the stick was slightly pinched. Ross looked at Fujitora and said slowly: They are not gods, just the rulers of the world, nothing more. The world, as you can see, is sick. Rosss hand stretched out from his cloak and he spread it gently, and said: With the world governments method of taking the medicine to press the disease will only get worse and worse. If you want to cure it, you only need to have surgery. You need to have a large-scale operation to eliminate all the lesions from the root. Fujitora understood what Ross meant. Inside, he was also shocked by Rosss thoughts. After a few seconds of silence, he said in silence: The existence of the government is the stability and order of the world itself. You have never thought that once the operation goes on How much blood would flow? Surgery is not done in one step. Ross said faintly: There is still a lot of preparation work, such as taking medication in the early stage, anesthesia and disinfection, and then it is the turn of the knife. When he heard Ross, Fujitora was silent. As Ross said, he cant turn a blind eye to everything in this world. He has ambitions and convictions, and he alone cannot change the world, so he needs to choose a path. Being a Pirate is impossible because pirates are the root of this chaos, and apart from pirate, the only thing left is the Revolutionary Army and the World Government. The Revolutionary Army tried to overthrow the World Government, but their actions began with the dissemination of ideas and rebellions, and indeed, like their names, were revolutionizing the world. There is no doubt that the revolution is to shed blood and sacrifice. In the normal historical process, Fujitora finally chose the government and chose Marine between the fight of the Revolutionary Army and the government. And now. There was one more choice in front of him, that is, to join the Ghost Hand Pirates. Although they are named as pirates, their aim is to hunt other pirates and they do not rob the civilians, and do not slaughter people for the fun of it, they only reveal the darkness of the world. Rosss previous statement was very clear to him. He had already told him directly that the purpose of the Ghost Hand Pirates was to eradicate the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates! Then? And then they will cut our way to the world government to rebuild a new order. Now Ross is not a nameless pawn, but one of the Five Emperors who rules the sea. With such an identity, he can say so much to a nobody and his attention is also very clear. Fujitora is a man with a clear mind and pride. Why not join marines now? On the one hand, he hasnt made a choice. On the other hand, he doesnt like to start from being a pawn, so when he joins, he can directly show his shocking strength in the world conscription and let the world government break the standard promotion in becoming a Marine Admiral step by step. In the communication between Ross and Fujitora, more than ten assailants were sweating and afraid to move or say a word. Among them, there are people who have a good brain. They can guess a little about the conversation according to Rosss words, but they dont dare to think about it. Some people want to cry. They finally locked in a fat sheep and was going to get a large sum of money. How could this lead to them getting involved in the matter of the Fifth Emperor? But. The preparation for this operation, based on my ability, can not be completed, I am in need of your help. Ross looked at Fujitora and sent out an invitation. Fujitora was silent for a few seconds and eventually refused: I am just a nameless person who cant even look at things. I am not worthy of your attention. Rosss face doesnt change. He had expected Fujitoras reaction and said calmly: I believe in my vision. Besides He paused a little and Distorted his voice and sent a message to Fujitoras ear. Really?! Fujitoras face changed for a while. Ross slightly smile and did not respond, he just looked at Fujitora. Fujitoras face was a bit sullen, and his hand holding the stick became tight, and he did not speak. How about this. Ross looked at the silent Fujitora and waited quietly for a moment before saying, I remember that I had an agreement with you last time to gamble with you again. What do you think? Fujitoras face is low, and he doesnt know how many thoughts flow in his heart. Finally, he wipes out all the thoughts and nods to Ross seriously. I am free to accompany you. CHAPTER 277 FUJITORA EMBARKS Ross touched his chin and thought a little before saying: How about a bet? Since its your invitation, its up to you to decide how to gamble. Fujitora opened his mouth to respond. Ross reached into his pocket and felt for a coin. He looked at the coin and said, I seldom play. I dont know anything about complex things. Why dont we decide on the simplest one? Fujitora nodded and said: Its perfect. Ross smiled, put the coin between his fingers, made a pop-up, and said, One side is the word, one side is the flower, which side do you take? Word. Fujitora didnt think much of it. Ross whispered, Then Ill take the flower. Ding! At the moment when the voice fell, he flicked his thumb gently in the middle of his index finger, and the coin whirled and flew to the sky. When it reached the highest point, it fell to the ground below. Ross and Fujitoras Observation Haki capture the movement of coins at the same time. It seemed like a very simple bet, but in their hands, it cant be that simple, because at the moment of the pop-up, they already knew the answer. Since its a coin played by Ross, it must be controlled to fall on the flower surface. Buzz!! Fujitoras face was the same. He held a wooden stick and suddenly put out his hand. A strange force suddenly aroused and suddenly shrouded the coin, which changed the movement track of the coin. Rosss face remained the same. He flexed his fingers to pick up the coin. A ray of wind came out and bounced it on the coin. The falling coin turned faster and faster. Fujitoras white-eyes opened slightly, and the wooden stick in his hand was slowly taken to the front. The gravity suddenly intensifies, pressing heavily on the coins, and the coins fall rapidly. Zi Zi! Rosss eyes flashed and his power is surging. He utilized Gravity distortion to destroy the gravity released by Fujitora, which makes the coin drop abruptly and bounce back to the sky. Two people release gravity and one person releases it with the help of the power of destruction, the two powers collide with each other on this street. Kch! Kch! I dont know when the ground between Ross and Fujitora began to break up. At the speed visible to the naked eye, it broke down like a spiders web and spread in all directions inch by inch. This this is Under the confrontation, the spirit of Ross and Fujitora naturally revealed. They collided in the void, making more than ten murderers nearby all sweat. Looking at the crumbling ground inch by inch, all of them had a violent leap of fear in their hearts, even though the cracks on the ground were not spreading fast and there seemed to be no huge impact. However, they all felt a kind of creepy terror in their hearts. Once they got involved in it, they will be crushed! Escape Run! Finally, someone responded. Under the crisis of life and death, he broke free from the oppression brought by Ross and forced his legs to run away. However. At the moment when they fled one after another, Ross in the field slid flat and shot a trace of the power of distortion against Fujitoas gravity. The power of distortion sweeps through, like the compression impact of sound waves, making the air in the whole street appear with a spring like distortion traces. Everywhere, the bodies of those murderers are all squeezed together by destruction, and even their screams cant be sent out. Their flesh and bones are constantly squeezed and compressed together, eventually turning into a compact and heavy bloody ball that rolls along the street to the far end and disappears at the end of their field of vision. Boom! After all this, Rosss power of distortion was distorted and Fujitoras gravity strikes him so violently that his body shakes and he takes a step back. Fujitora is holding the stick, and he slips back on the ground for nearly two meters before he stops. The coin finally fell from the sky and landed on the ground. It rolled twice before coming to a stop. On the upward side, lifelike petals were engraved. Fujitora slowly stood up straight. Ross stands there, calmly looking at Fujitora and smiling slightly. I give up. Fujitora took a step toward Ross and as he passed him, he paused for a moment and said, Ill have to manage my face in the future. No doubt. In terms of strength, Ross is better than him. His strength is stronger than him and his will shakes him, Rosss statement makes Fujitora admit that he has no reason to refuse, and this last bet is indeed lost by him. You have to guarantee to give me food until my stomach is full. Ross gently smiles. On the coast. The Ghost Hand Pirates ship is docked here. Ross and Fujitora, Laffitte, and Robin came from a distance and came all the way to the shore, Shiliew of the Rain and others gathered on the deck and their eyes gathered on Fujitora. The feeling of a strong person is obviously different from ordinary people. Shiliew of the Rain can roughly judge that Fujitora has considerable strength, but to what extent, he is not sure. He seems to have some skills. After all, ain he is a person that Captain himself wanted. Ficheux Erman shrugged, the person chosen by Ross couldnt be too bad. Walking along the ramp to the deck, Ross reaches out to Robin at the back. Robin hands her small hand over to him and takes Rosss hand to the deck. Laffitte is in third place and Fujitora is in the end. Introduction. On the deck, Ross called Fujitora and smiled slightly: Combatant Shiliew of the Rain, Sniper Ficheux Erman, Ship Doctor Trafalgar Law. Ross introduced Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman and others to Fujitora. Finally. Ross looked at Shiliew of the Rain and others and briefly introduced Fujitora. Shiliew of the Rains attitude towards Fujitora is not salty, while Ficheux Erman observed Fujitora, trying to determine Fujitoras strength. Ive heard a lot about you. After Rosss introduction, Fujitora told Shiliew of the Rain and others with his innocent smile, saying: Its a shame that some nobody like me is so valued by Mr. Ross. Please do me a favor in the future. Too modest. Trafalgar Law said to Fujitora while holding Kikoku: If you can be so valued by Captain, you must have extraordinary skills. Ficheux Erman looked at Fujitora and said: Since we are on the same ship, its time to get to know each other. I dont know what your abilities are? Oh My Insignificant skills are not strong enough to be mentioned. Fujitora touched the back of his head and smiled like a middle-aged uncle who is harmless to humans and animals. Shiliew of the Rain came forward with a cigar in his mouth. The second-generation Ghost blade was taken to the front of him and he put it across. He looked at Fujitora and said, I have nothing to do, and I have some itching hands. How about a duel? Although Fujitora came to the crew later, his position on the ship cannot hover in the air in suspense. In this ship, the status of the position, in addition to the order of the ship, must be determined by strength, and even strength is more decisive than the order of boarding. After all. This is a world of predators! CHAPTER 278 FUJITORA VS SHILIEW OF THE RAIN Laffitte and Ficheux Erman and others all looked at this scene with different expressions. They were very interested in Shiliew of the Rain and the newbie on the ship. Ross did not stop them. In this ship, its normal to define status by strength. Except for sugar and Gerd, who have special abilities, and Robin, who has a special status, other people are generally arranged in this way. In fact, Ross was planning to give Fujitora the vice-captain position, but Fujitora is new to the ship, so even if he is stronger than Shiliew of the Rain and others, he will not make such a big jump. And. Whether the position of Vice-Captain should be given out or not remains to be discussed for Ross, because unlike other cadres, vice-captain has higher power than other cadres, and has the right to direct the whole pirate regiment when the captain is not available. Fujitora is reassuring, but this position matters a lot. Faced with Shiliew of the Rains outspoken challenge, Fujitora paused a little and said slowly: Since you want it, then Ok. This is not a place to start, lets sail first. Shiliew of the Rain grinned a little but did not start and put the second generation ghost blade back to his waist, he looked at Ross and Laffitte not far away. Ross nodded and walked into the cabin with Robin. The ship set sail quickly and drove off the island and came to a gentle sea. Shiliew of the Rain looked at the place. After a slight flash in his eyes, he jumped and came to the sea surface. His body was instantly covered with white frost, and the moment he stepped on the sea, the force of ice and cold froze the sea, causing it to freeze in all directions. Since the Cold-Cold fruit is Paramecia Devil Fruit, it is naturally not comparable to Aokijis Logia Ice-Ice Fruit, and the frozen sea is not large enough, but it is enough as a temporary battlefield. In fact. Under the development of Shiliew of the Rain during this period, he has gradually touched the core of the Cold-Cold fruit, which is to exchange extreme cold for an extremely high attack at close range. Cold condensation in sword energy is a remote attack method. In fact, the cold contained in sword energy is not strong. But. When the cold-cold fruit is fully activated, his body and his sword will be extremely Cold in temperature which will also affect the surroundings, and the enemy will be greatly affected when dealing with him in close combat. Imagine two swordsmen fighting in close combat. In the constant collision of swords, ones swords suddenly coagulate a temperature of -100 degrees or even lower. The impact will obviously be severe. Powerful. Fujitora, standing on the edge of the deck, lowered his head to the bottom and, sensing that the surface of the sea had frozen into ice, slowly stepped forward and fell onto the ice below. Holding his cigar, Shiliew of the Rain pulls his sword out of his scabbard, half of his body is covered with frost. Now he has good control over the Cold-Cold fruit, so he doesnt freeze his cigar into a lump of ice as he did before. Excuse me. Compared to Shiliew of the Rain, Fujitoras expression remained calm, and there was no change in emotions on his face. As he slowly opened his mouth, he leaned forward and grasped the handle of the stick. Buzz!! A sword was suddenly pulled out and he waved it toward the sky. A strange force suddenly shot out of the sword and disappeared in the blue sky. Ficheux Erman and Lafitte are all staring at Fujitora. They cant help but look up at the sky when they perceive Fujitoras action, showing some strange expressions. They can perceive that Fujitora has released some kind of power to the sky, but they dont know what Fujitoras purpose is. Huh? Shiliew of the Rain also looked up at the sky, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes. But very soon. The doubts in his eyes turned to surprise. He saw that above the blue sky, a little red dot had suddenly appeared and it was getting bigger as it fell into the field. Meteorite?! Shiliew of the Rains face changed. Ficheux Erman and others also showed shock. The power of this meteorite does not need to be said, but someone who can call out this strong power form the unknown sky. Isnt this power a little too big? Snow Frost Sword! Looking at the falling meteorite, Shiliew of the Rain took a deep breath and focused his entire attention on it, he stimulated the Cold-Cold fruit ability and suddenly split out a sword attack. The falling meteorite was split in half from the center by Shiliew of the Rain, while the burning flame subsided and was covered by cold erosion. But. The meteorite, which was cut in half, did not decrease its impact, but still fell down with the intent to destroy everything in its path. Sword Net! Shiliew of the Rains eyes were cold, and he again split several sword attacks. His sword energy interweaved into a big net, tearing the meteorite into countless pieces. At the same time, Fujitora opposite him swung his sword and a heavyweight hit the other half of the meteorite, which remained stationary for a second before bursting open. Bang Long! The broken meteorite pieces eventually fell on the ice, causing a violent sound and breaking up the frozen ice. Countless ice cubes splashed around and slammed towards the hull. Ficheux Erman saw it and took a deep breath. He shot out a handful of peanuts and shattered the splashing ice cubes. Laffitte and Law also attacked to resist the aftermath. The ice burst open and splattered and after the ice cubes were gone. They saw Shiliew of the Rain suspended in the air using Gepp (Moonwalk), and he looked at Fujitora and said. Look at you. Shiliew of the Rain slowly said, Even if you are blind, few people with two good eyes can have your strength. It is an Insignificant skill. Fujitoras faint smile, he also judged the general strength range of Shiliew of the Rain, Naturally to determine the strength of Shiliew of the Rain, a single temptation is not enough. Shiliew of the Rain also knows that Fujitora is very strong, but he doesnt know how strong he really is. After he sinks his face slightly, he uses Gepp (Moonwalk) to charge towards Fujitora. Ice Blade! The extremely cold sword, containing the temperature of 150 degrees below zero, cuts into Fujitora. Fujitoras face remained unchanged as he waved the sword in his hand, gravity condensed on his blade and he released it towards the rushing form of Shiliew of the Rain. Gravity Blade! Bang! Compared with the trial tactics just now, this was a pure frontal assault from both sides. Shiliew of the Rains sword arts combined with the extreme cold of the Cold-Cold fruit, coupled with Armament Haki, has developed the ability to harness the Cold with a sword and cut down everything. Fujitora on other hand has condensed the gravity together, forming a high-intensity weight, resulting in an effect similar to the Rosss Distortion Fruit, allowing the air to appear in a Distortion form. Kch! Kch! The broken ice below is broken again in the aftermath of this attack. The aftermath of the attacks swayed in the sky, sweeping in all directions. This time, instead of sitting still, Ross tried to deflect the horrid reverberations that rippled across the sky. When the aftermath is gone. The figures of Fujitora and Shiliew of the Rain were revealed. They saw that Fujitoras face was calm, and nither his blade nor his clothes were stained with frost or damaged. In front of him, Shiliew of the Rain had a crease on his clothes, which made it obvious that he was inferior in terms of strength. Shiliew of the Rain stared at Fujitora. Fujitoras strength can reach this level, which is beyond his expectation. If he is able to grasp the level of Cold-Cold fruit a little higher only then he can compete with Fujitora. Now, if it is a life and death fight, his victory chances are less than 40%, and they are at most only 30%. CHAPTER 279 TEA PARTY Lets call it a day. Ross stood on the deck and looked up at Shiliew of the Rain and Fujitora in the sky. Shiliew of the Rain, who did not eat the Cold-Cold fruit has about the same strength as Ficheux Erman, which is a little less than an Admiral, and after eating the Cold-Cold fruit, his strength diD not soar to the level of an Admiral but it is in the region between Ficheux Erman and an Admiral level powerhouse. If Shiliew of the Rain was stronger, he can continue to compete with Fujitora, but now, the strength of the top and bottom combatant has become clear to the crowd. Amazing. Ficheux Erman muttered. He had expected Fujitora to be as strong as he was and at best, as strong as Shiliew of the Rain is now, but he did not expect him to be even better than Shiliew of the Rain. Compared with Marine Admiral, this strength is absolutely not to be outdone, and even defeating a Marine Admiral is not necessarily impossible. No doubt. On this ship, Ross is the only person who can beat Fujitora. After Shiliew of the Rain looked at Fujitora, he snorted and fell to the deck below. He wasnt very happy that Fujitora was stronger than him. Fujitora had a flat attitude and took the stick blade into the stick and then fell back to the deck. Set sail, lets go back to the New World. Ross opened his mouth and said, he also looked at Fujitora at the same time, then he left the deck and went into the cabin at the back. Fujitora understood, and the stick in his hand was put on the deck. Buzz!! With a loud sound, the ship, which had been frozen on the ice, broke free from the broken ice and flew away under the control of Fujitora. Only Ross was able to fly with the ship before. Now with Fujitora, Ross as Captain will naturally not do this hard work anymore. The news about the emergence of the Ghost Hand Pirates in the first half of the Grand Line was also known to World Government and Marines, but this time both Marines and World Government remain silent and just made a surface job that is to remain alert and ready to go. One of the Five Emperor Pirate regiment wandering on the sea costs too much to deal with and the ability of Ghost Hand Ross is extremely special. He can retreat calmly in the face of four top forces. Im afraid that the most difficult pirate regiment to eliminate will belong to the Ghost Hand Pirate regiment. They sailed all the way to the Sabaody Archipelago. Ross took the ship into the sea, and went towards the Fishman Island and saw Shirahoshi who had grown up, but it will take another few years for her to grow up completely. From the New World to the first half and then return to the New World. The entire round trip took nearly four months. During the four months, New World was calm, and each Yonk (Four Emperors) stayed on their respective sites. There was no conflict between them, and there was no friction. But. Everyone knows that this calm is like the surface of the sea and in the depths of the sea, there is already a dark tide! The Ghost Hand Pirates acquired the name of Emperor and are the Fifth Emperor of the New World but so far they have not acquired any territories. An Emperor with power and no territories is plain weird. The style of doing things of the Ghost Hand Pirates is far cry from what people would consider safe and sound, that is to say, the so-called calmness of these months is just the surface look and a huge storm is brewing behind the scenes that will sweep the entire sea! Kaido or BIGMOM? Some forces are speculating about where the next conflict point of the Ghost Hand Pirates is. New Worlds territories have been taken away by Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, and if the Ghost Hand Pirates wants to gain the status of the five emperors. It is necessary for them to fight with any original Yonk (Four Emperors) and take their territories, the starting point will be the first conflict. But. It is not so easy to take away the territory that belongs to any of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, because they are on New World, and even the government and Marine cant do anything to them! Even though the sea has been calm for four months, the Ghost Hand Pirates has never faded from anyones attention. The first thing that countless people do when they pick up the newspaper every day is to find out if there is any news about the Ghost Hand Pirates. And just as the World gave people a feeling of brewing Strom, the BIGMOM Pirates, one of the Five Emperors, sent out an invitation that made many people have headaches. Yonk (Four Emperors) BIGMOM Charlotte Linlins tea party! The New World has countless terrifying things, in addition to the weirder wicked weather than the first half, there are also Yonk (Four Emperors) like Hundred Beast Kaido, and invitations that cant be rejected, which includes BIGMOMs tea party! No one dared to ignore BIGMOMs tea party. For those who had ignored the invitation after receiving it, they got buried in history, and even their names are not remembered. The Tea Party, has it started again? The leader of an underground force rubbed his brow and he was starting to get a headache. If you receive an invitation, you must go. If you go, you must bring a treasure box that BIGMOM likes. The gift placed in the treasure chest is also a very troublesome thing. They cant put something that is too bad for they would die and they cant put something precious because then their heart will bleed. It is also distressing. When was the first tea party, when is it now? Morgan, the president of the big news agency was drinking tea and reflecting, How many tea parties will this make? He looked up at the dark sky. Unconsciously, the sea that has been ruled by Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates for many years now have Five Emperors, but this situation will not last. This tea party Its hard to say if it will happen again. Morgan murmured in his heart, holding the invitation and returning to the room. Fishman Island. Ross, who was playing with Shirahoshi, received intelligence from Robin who received it from Kaku and others about the BIGMOM Pirate group. BIGMOMs Tea party? Sitting on Shirahoshis shoulder, Rosss eyes showed a strange color. Although Shirahoshi is large in size, her skin is much whiter and softer than that of Robin, and she is the only one in the world who can compete with the Pirate Empress only by virtue of her beauty. Naturally. The temperament of the Pirate Empress and Shirahoshi is very different, and the gap between their temperament is huge. Ah, who is BIGMOM? Shirahoshi is kneeling on the beach at the moment, with a small hand holding her chin and a curious look on her face. She doesnt know anything about Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. Robin looked at Shirahoshi with a smile and said: A terrible woman who is also the enemy we will deal with next. Is she Scary? Shirahoshi listened to Robins description and said timidly. Ross smiled at her and said: Dont listen to her, shes not that terrible, she is just an old woman. Really? Shirahoshi still trusts Ross, but she also trusts Robin, and her fear only subsided a little, she said with a pitiful voice: But why do you have to fight her? Because she did some hateful things to Hajrudin and other Giants. Ross pets Shirahoshis head and said: BIGMOM once ruined Hajrudins hometown. Hajrudin and others are also in the Fishman Island and Shirahoshi had met them once. Because Hajrudin and others were very big, she was very impressed. Good too Hearing Rosss words, Shirahoshi opened her mouth and said in a low voice. Although the words expressed dissatisfaction, her tone was timid and weak, with no trace of anger or any other emotion. Shirahoshi, the mermaid Princess, seems to have been born with no emotion of anger. CHAPTER 280 DECISION Its late. Its time for you to go back and have a rest. Ross floats up from Shirahoshis shoulder and smiled at her. Shirahoshi nodded cleverly. After sending Shirahoshi back, Ross landed next to Robin and walked through the garden of Dragon palace, saying, I plan to make the Fishman Island my territory, but this will be done after killing the BIGMOM Pirates. Fishman Island is now inserted with the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates. There is no doubt that we will fight against the Whitebeard Pirates once they do this. In that case, Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates are about to be beaten all over. Robin was at Rosss side from the very beginning and she had grown so accustomed to the idea of ??a single man whose powers make the sea shake. If one day Ross doesnt do something, shell find it unreasonable. After Robins smile, she turned and asked: BIGMOM Pirates, how are we going to do it? This tea party will be a perfect opportunity. Ross slightly smiled with a flash of deep light in his eyes and said: Although I did not receive an invitation, I think they will welcome me to the party. Thats good. Robin smiled. Ross plucked a gem from a nearby coral and examined it for a few times, and finding that it did not look as good as it did in nature, he put it back. There are worse ideas. He reached out and touched Robins chin with bright eyes. Really? Robins expressions remained the same as she smiled and stepped back, letting Rosss fingers fall through, her whole body suddenly turned into petals and she disappeared, it was just a doppelg?nger of Robin made by the Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi). Rosss hand pauses in the air, then he shakes his head and laughs. He takes back his finger. If he had used Observation Haki, he would have found out that it was just a doppelg?nger. Buzz!. His Observation Haki was launched as he searched for Robins location in the Dragon Palace and noticed that Robin was staying with Sugar. Rosss eyes were calm, and he didnt mind. He still took a step, disappeared, and went to the perceived position. Fishman Island beach. The two ships Ghost Hand Pirates are docked here. In the central hall of one of the ships, there are two sofas with several wooden chairs around it and a huge round table and coffee table. The structure is extremely simple, but because it is a giant ship, the sofa is very large, and the chair is a small chair specially made. As for the round table, its also very big. The tea table is a special small tea table. The decoration scene looked a bit funny. At the moment. On the wooden coffee table, various bounty reward posters are placed on it and a dagger is nailed to the coffee table. There are many bounty orders below, and there are other materials. These are the bounty posters of the BIGMOM Pirates, all suspended bounties are higher than 100 million Berries, the information is scattered and there is some information about their abilities. Some of this information was supplemented by Ross. Its called a steel balloon, and the ones that come out of it are all twisted melons and dates. Smoking a cigar, Shiliew of the Rain scowled from the other end of the table. In fact, you are also a melon. Ross did not say this. He looked at the wanted posters and searched the pictures in his memory, and added the ability he remembers on the persons posters with a pen. There are not many things that can impress Ross. In addition to the sweet commanders, there are only Perospero and Oven, who had a bounty of about 450-500million berries. In addition to numerous wanted posters. In the middle of the coffee table, there is a picture of the only person whose face can be seen clearly, Charlotte Pudding, who is different from others. She did not have a bounty, but because of the special nature of Memo-Memo Fruit, Ross asked Kaku and others to get a photo and marked it. Memo-Memo Fruit Trafalgar Law looked at Puddings photo thoughtfully. Memory is the root of the will. If you can tamper with the memory at will, the Personality Transplant Surgery and this ability can complement each other in a sense, and this ability has a little connection with Sugars Hobi Hobi no Mi. Thats about it. Ross briefly commented on the last piece of information and sat up straight, indicating that Laffitte and others could view and remember the information at will. Being able to know the opponents abilities ahead of time is undoubtedly an advantage. With the addition of Fujitora, the Ghost Hand Pirates now has the ability to destroy the BIGMOM Pirates, but in order to avoid and minimize unnecessary casualties, Ross has provided all the information that he remembers and also asked Kaku to collect information about the BIGMOM Pirates. Fujitora doesnt look at things and sits there in silence. The difference between the Ghost Hand Pirates and other Pirates has been clearly reflected from here. Unlike other pirate groups, which have no order at all, the Ghost Hand Pirates has a rigorous intelligence chain. Pirates are chaotic but the Ghost Hand Pirates are orderly. From his point of view, they dont even seem like a Pirate crew, but like a regular army. Katakuri, Kenbonshoku (Observation) Future Prediction? Shiliew of the Rain stared at Katakuris bounty poster, as well as the intelligence marked on it and his eyes narrowed slightly. Katakuri will probably be his opponent without any surprise. When everyone looked at the bounty poster, Robin turned to look at Fujitora and said: Do you need help? Fujitora cant see from his eyes, but there are many ways to solve his situation on this ship, such as Personality Transplant Surgery with a short change of body and he will be able to read it again, or just use Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit plus Heal-Heal Fruit to cure the eyes. Its good to read the information a little, apologies for the trouble. Fujitora apologizes to Robin. Robin didnt care as she smiled and told him the information, nor did she ask Fujitoras plan for his eyes. Ross had told her that unless Fujitora mentioned it himself, she wouldnt have to ask. Hows it going over with the clocks? Seeing Robin heading towards Fujitora, Ross asked. In Marines, all officers above the rank of captain have corresponding justice cloaks, while CP0 also has special white cloaks. Compared to Marine and the government, Pirates ranks seems to be a lot more confusing. No matter which Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, there is no common image. The Ghost Hand Pirates had been the same so far. But. Ross still feels better. After considering the cloak, clothes, hats, cloaks and so on, he finally chose the cloaks, and the color of the cloaks was determined to be black, which is acceptable to all. The cloak is an overcoat that hangs over the outside and it is also a piece of cloth that wraps the whole body. It is relatively simple, and people like Shiliew of the Rain also think it is good. The other things are too troublesome. The cloak can be carried with you, wrapped and torn at will, and can be torn apart at any time. Moreover, it will not affect their battle powers. It should be almost finished. Robin responded to Ross: It may be sent here at any time. CHAPTER 281 CLOAK Almost at the moment when her voice falls. There was a sound of a small cart outside the hall. Sugar was sitting on a small cart with her legs raised. She had a stack of sweets in her hand. Two toys pushed the cart and pushed her to the hall. Here we are. Ross turned his head to look at Sugar and walked over to the stroller. In the small cart, there is a stack of black cloaks of different sizes, but they are very delicate. The edges of the cloak are embroidered with a little bit of dark gold. They are handmade by the best stylist of Fishman Island. Two toys released the stroller and left the hall. Sugar also jumped from the stroller. She turned to look at the black cloak in the stroller and couldnt help but groan. Its ugly. The only person who cant accept the black cloak is her, but the minority obeys the majority and her resistance is invalid, and the green color she liked was unacceptable to Ross. Ross glanced at Sugar and reached out and tapped on her forehead. I heard. Woo Sugar covered her forehead and looked at Ross with anger and grievances. It is really hard to see! Well, it looks good. Shiliew of the rain came over with his cigar in his mouth, picked up a black cloak that matched his figure, shook it open and looked at it. He didnt like it very much, but he was still satisfied. Hohoho, the merfolk craftsmanship is not bad. Lafitte picked up a cloak that fit him as he already used a clock. The cloth and workmanship of the cloak in front of him were much better than the one he used. He was very satisfied. Trafalgar Laws attitude was unrecognizable. After taking his own, he returned to the coffee table and continued to study the information of the members of the BIGMOM Pirates. Not bad. Ross looked at Robins black cloak and licked his mouth. Robin didnt fit in the black cloak but it seemed to work very well. Finally, there was only Sugar left, and she refused to wear the smallest cloak. However. The refusal is invalid. Although Ross wont let her in the battle, she still has to wear the cloak, which is a symbol of the official crew and the symbol of the cadres of the Ghost Hand Pirates. For example, among giants, only Hajrudin and Gerd have made cloaks. One of the reasons for that is because a giants body size is too big and making cloaks for them is very troublesome, and the other is that they both are the representative of the giants. One is the Leader of the Giant Corps, and the other is the special member with the power of Heal-Heal Fruit. Road and others will naturally have no opinions on this, and their blood was surging with emotions, because todays cloaks are only released for the first time, and there will be more in the future. In their opinion, this cloak represents the recognition of Ross, and in order to get the recognition of Ross, they will do their best to fight! All right. Ross put the smallest cloak on the protesting Sugar, and after looking at her eyes, he couldnt help but laugh. Sugars little green hair, coupled with this black cloak, this image is really funny and it is no wonder that she protested so wildly. Super ugly Sugar went to the mirror and looked at it, muttering, with an unhappy expression on her face. It looks so cute. Robin stood behind her and smiled. She thought sugar was cute now because of her unique aesthetic. For the first time, Sugar was unable to maintain a unified opinion with Robin. Ross smiled for a while and said, Put it away. You dont need to fight on the frontlines. You dont need to wear it if you dont like it, dont put it on, but Having said that, Ross paused and said seriously: Dont lose it. If you lose it, you will be waiting to be tidy up! No need to wear such ugly things, Sugars small head nodded like a rattle. So, its time to set off. Rosss expression calmed down again, and with a little quietness in it, he said: Lets go to BIGMOMTotto Land! Cake island. This is the core of the Totto Land field and the home base of the BIGMOM Pirates. At this time, Cake Island is extremely lively and full of happy atmosphere. Because Soul-Soul fruit can extract soul fragments and give life to all the deadnon living things, many things in this island are living life, such as flowers, grass, trees, even rivers, and mud. These things are also known as Homies. A guest from the Underground World arrives at the Cake Island and heads to the Cake City Castle in the center of the island under the direction of members of the Homies and the BIGMOM Pirates. At the bottom of Cake City Castle, its bustling and full of smile and laughter. It doesnt look like the territory of one of the Yonko(Four Emperors), but rather like coming to the fairy tale world. At this time. A carriage stopped in front of City Castle and a group of people came down from it. The first to go down was an obese middle-aged man wearing a pair of round glasses and a green velvet coat. He had a knife scar on his face and a cigar in his mouth as he slowly moved forward. Its Du Feld. A resident of nearby cake Island, who recognized his identity, was slightly shocked and said: Is he also on the invitation list? It is said that 30% of the usury in the underground world is related to him. Immediately after Field, the black-skinned man wearing a Captains hat and coat folded his hands on his chest and stepped down the carriage. Its Umit, the king of shipping. As expected, he was invited again. Umit is one of the worlds kings of the Underground and has only recently become famous. He has been here once, this time it is his second time. Although in the Underground world, there are many people who have a headache for BIGMOMs tea party but at the same time, this tea party is also a symbol of status! It is related to the BIGMOM Pirates, and ones status must reach a certain level before they can be eligible to receive the invitation letter of the BIGMOM tea party, not everyone can come here. This so-called tea party, although apparently created by BIGMOMs personal interests, is also an opportunity for many underground world emperors to interact with each other. Its like a party attended by the top nobility of the earth. Ah, is this the legendary Cake City Castle? Another famous figure in the underground world stepped down from the carriage, holding a bottle of wine in his hand and looking at the huge cake City Castle, showing a trace of wonder. Its Mr. Giberson. Some people recognize his identity and cant help but take a breath. This person controls a large range of economy and transactions in the underground world, which was second only to Doflamingo before. After the downfall of Doflamingo, he has gradually taken over all transactions in the underground world. In the past two years, he also had a deal with the BIGMOM Pirates and he became one of the invitees of the tea party. These are all big guys There are some followers of leaders of other forces and as they looked at the big man getting down from the carriage, they cant help but inhale and murmur. This is the Emperor of the New World, the tea party of BIGMOM The emperors of the Underground world are all gathered here! CHAPTER 282 FULL CREW At the entrance to the Cake City Castle. Because there is still a lot of time before the tea party began, people are not in a hurry. They enjoy the scenery and walk towards the cake City Castle. You are Umit. Oh, if I remember correctly, you should be Peclo. What can I do for you? I didnt expect the famous shipping king to know my name. Peclo smiled and said, Its so nice to see you here. In the future, I may have some business for you, can you give me your Den Den Mushi number? It would be convenient to contact you in the future. No problem. Umits attitude is gentle. He is also the same underground world emperor as him. There is always something useful between them. However, they do have to talk about specific things. After Peclo and Umit exchanged a message. Peclo greeted Morgan, Giberson and others greeted each other with a smile. Its obvious that this is not the first time theyve met. But. When his eyes fell on the last one of the team, a man in a black cloak, he was a little stunned, he vaguely felt that the persons face was a little familiar, but he could not remember who the other was. At this time, Umit and others also noticed that Peclos eyes were strange. They looked at the direction where Peclo was looking at and they suddenly saw the man wearing the black cloak. What? How come there are six people? Giberson rubbed his eyes. If he remembers it correctly, there should be five people coming down from the carriage. Right, but the guy with the black cloak has become six! Where did this extra person come from? This makes everyone jump in their hearts. If the environment of cake island is not as gloomy as that of the Florian triangle sea and if it wasnt like a fairytale kingdom. Maybe all of them would have died of fright. Oh, I seem to have been discovered. The man in the black cloak gave a burst of gloomy laughter, and his lowered head slowly lifted up, revealing the face which was blocked by his high ceremonial hat. When they saw him clearly, all the people in the surroundings went still. Morgan was stunned, and then his face suddenly changed, showing a touch of shock. You you areDemon Sherrif! He has been paying close attention to the Ghost Hand Pirates. Naturally, he recognized Lafittes identity in a flash, and his heart suddenly fluctuated like a storm. This is Cake Island! Ghost Hand Pirates, Demon Sherrif actually appeared here! Demon Sherrif? That Ghost Hand Pirates Several people nearby took a breath of cold air when they heard the name. Even if they were all emperors of the underground world, they were still terrified in front of the name of the Ghost Hand Pirates. Will Ghost Hand Pirates come to BIGMOMs tea party? At this time, members of the nearby BIGMOM Pirates also discovered Laffitte, and their faces underwent drastic changes as they shouted. Giberson and others noticed that things were wrong and they stepped back toward the rear. This is a matter between the Five Emperors, even if they are the emperors of the Underground world, they have no capital to interfere here at all. Demon Sherrif Laffitte, how did you get here?! Baron Tamago, who was stationed under the Cake City Castle, rushed over and looked at Laffitte with a stern look. Demon Sherrif Laffitte is definitely not on the invitation list of the tea party! He knows this very well! If you ask me how I got here, it would be a long story. Laffitte smiled and took out his hands out of the cloak and gently lifting the edge of his ceremonial hat. Baron Tamagos face became cold and he said: Mom always wanted to find you guys and kill you, I didnt expect you to deliver yourself to our door. Since the Ghost Hand Pirates went to Elbuff, BIGMOM has reached the limit of her tolerance. Killing us? Laffitte was a little surprised before he smiled like usual and said: We only want to participate in the tea party today, but there is no invitation, I dont know if we can go in? When Baron Tamago heard Laffittes words, his brow was slightly wrinkled, and he was keenly aware of the special words that came out of Laffittes mouth. Us? Who else is here?! At the same time, he spoke sharply, showing unprecedented vigilance and looking around. At this time. A carriage stopped not far away and a figure in a black cloak came down from it and stepped to Lafittes side. And I. He was carrying Kikoku on his shoulders and his eyes were calm as he slowly answered. Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law! Baron Tamago said coldly: Is there more than one person? What is your purpose in breaking into the cake island? Is there anyone else?! With the squandering of Baron Tamago, the BIGMOM Pirates have begun to gather more and more, constantly pouring out from the Cake City Castle, including many cadres with hanging bounty of 200 million or even 300 million berries. And almost at the moment when the Baron Tamago voice fell. From the small carriage, another figure emerged, also wearing a black cloak and that figure came towards Laffitte and Laws side step by step. Ghost Hand Pirates, Intelligence member, Nico Robin. Robin, who came down from the carriage, had a hint of laughter on her face. Ghost Hand Pirates Sniper, Ficheux Erman. Ficheux Ermans figure turned into an arc. No one knows when he came out. He stopped suddenly beside Lafitte and others, with his mouth slightly turned. Ghost Hand Pirates Combatant, Shiliew of the Rain. Shiliew of the rain, with a cigar in her mouth and a black cloak, came out from behind the carriage and puffed out a mouthful of smoke at the BIGMOM Pirates in front of him. Ghost Hand Pirates Combatant, Issho. Fujitora walked out of the back of the carriage with a wooden stick and a black cloak, and came to the field step by step and introduced himself with a calm voice. Giant Corps leader, Hajrudin. In a flash of lightning, Hajrudins figure appeared in the field and his huge body was also wrapped in the same black cloak. At last. In the center of the crowd, space suddenly presents a ripple-like Distortion, like a drop of water falling into a calm lake. Ghost Hand Pirates Captain, Ross. In the space vortex of Distortion, Ross stepped out, wearing a black cloak and calmly looking forward. A silence. There is only the rustling of the wind. Baron Tamago, who looked stern before, had already spilled cold sweat on his forehead when Ficheux Erman and Shiliew of the Rain appeared, and he was no longer boasting or in command. As for Giberson, Morgan, and others, their hearts are rolling like the waves, and their eyes can show the full extent of their shock. Ross and others didnt deliberately show any power or momentum, but at this moment, wearing their uniform black cloaks, they looked just like the arrival of death, which is starting to suffocate countless people. Ghost Hand Pirates. Came to Participate! Chapter 283 Ghost Hand And BIGMOM There was silence. Can you make way? Ross draped in a black cloak, steps towards the Cake-City Castle and calmly opens his mouth to Baron Tamago, who is blocking the front. Baron Tamagos forehead overflowed with a trace of cold sweat, but he felt that it was difficult to breathe. As a cadre of the BIGMOM Pirates, he was very aware of the strength of the emperors such as BIGMOM and Ross. The gap between his and an Emperors strength is similar to the gap between heaven and earth! Creak! Creak! Fujitora, holding the same clog followed Ross in silence, only the clogs creaked slowly on the floor. Baron Tamago was stiff and didnt dare to stop them and he could only watch as Ross went towards the Cake City Fort. All the members of the BIGMOM Pirates were standing in the same place. Although they were all armed with weapons, no one dared to go forward and their back was wet with cold sweat. Som Something big happened! The hearts of Morgan and others were beating violently as if they were about to jump out of their throats. They watched helplessly as Ross and others in black cloaks entered Cake City Castle. It was not until Ross and others all disappeared behind the door of the Cake City Castle that the oppressive atmosphere like the collapse of the mountain gradually calmed down. Ghost How can the Ghost Hand Pirate come here? Gibersons forehead was filled with a trace of cold sweat and he was already completely awake from his slight drunkness. Next to him, Du Felds voice was extremely tense and he murmured, Is he here for business? But it doesnt look very much like that. It doesnt matter what they do, Its not like we can stop it. Morgan got rid of the repressed atmosphere. While he was also nervous, his eyes flashed with a touch of excitement like never before. All will be unprecedented big news! Cake City Fort. No matter if it was the cadres of BIGMOM Pirates or the ordinary members, when they saw Ross and his entire group wearing a black cloak, they all looked frightened and no one dared to stop them. As for the Homies which were injected with souls, such as the door, stairs, etc., they could not make any resistance in the face of the threat brought by Ross. This is how the entire group came to the top of the Cake City Castle. Now. At the top of the Cake City Fort, BIGMOM Charlotte Linlin, Katakuri, and others have already known everything that happened below. The sky was covered with dark clouds. It seems that there was going to be a storm. Open the door. Coming to the top of the Cake City Castle, Ross reached a closed-door and released his horrible haki and said in an indifferent tone. The doors face showed an expression of fear and it opened itself with a squeak. Behind the door, a large number of tables and chairs with countless snacks are placed everywhere. This is the open-air hall on the top floor of the Cake City Castle, and also the site of the tea party. With the opening of the door, the open-air tea party had no atmosphere of any kind of pleasure or joy but it seems to sink into a thick haze of depression. I didnt expect you to come to my tea party. In the center surrounded by countless people, BIGMOM stood up and looked at Ross and others, with a smile on her face, and said: So this is really the magnificent Ghost Hand Ross. Next to and behind BIGMOM, Katakuri, Smoothie, Cracker, and Snack stood in the four nearest positions. To the left are the eldest son of Charlotte Family, Pelospeaw and there are Oven, Minister of Gelato, and Minister of Cheese. To the right, there are pirates with a bounty of 300 million berries such as Compote, Sanzi Dafu, Minster of Butter, and Minister of Nuts of Charlotte Family. There is no confusion. Even in the face of the Ghost Hand Pirates, one of the Five Emperors, there was no panic on their faces, some of them wore solemn expressions on their faces and people on the whole top floor stood in order. Im sorry to have come uninvited without informing you. Ross took another two steps forward, just in front of a table. He pinched a piece of cake on the table and put it into his mouth to taste. Its not bad. At last, someone couldnt help speaking at Ross. Charlotte Familys eldest son, Perospero looked at Ross with a sullen face and said, Ghost Hand Ross, what are you doing here?! Ross looked towards him and didnt answer his question. At this time, BIGMOMs eyes shifted from Ross to Hajrudin wearing a huge black cloak, with slightly flashing eyes, saying: You are Hajrudin? I didnt expect you to remember my name. Hajrudin spoke in a cold voice. BIGMOM lived in Elbaf for a while when she was a child. Although he was not a member of the Lambs Family or a partner of BIGMOM at that time, he was in the same island, and at that time, he was similar in age and they knew each other. It is also because of this that he hates her as BIGMOM destroyed their town and killed the Giant hero Yuroru, he will do anything to kill BIGMOM. Well. Brings back a few bad memories. BIGMOM stared at Hajrudin, memories of Elbaf flashing through her mind and she said: So, do you now represent the attitude of your giants? No. Hajrudin said coldly: I am now a subordinate of the Ghost Hand Pirates, but Elbafs attitude will always remain the same. I will never forgive you for the SINS you once committed! BIGMOM didnt show any anger but instead laughed. She turned to look at Ross and said, So you came here to fight today? Although it was said with a smile, the second half of this sentence reveals a kind of chilling morbid cold atmosphere, although there was no Haoshoku Haki release, the oppressive atmosphere came from the Yonk (Four Emperors) itself and it was enough to make ordinary people lose consciousness! Yes. Ross nodded and looked back calmly. When they heard Rosss statement, the guests who received the invitation from the outside were not the characters and werent members of the BIGMOM Pirates all had sweat on their foreheads, they swallowed and subconsciously retreated. From BIGMOMs question to Rosss simple answer, they will know what will happen next. Emperor War! Between the Ghost Hand Pirates and BIGMOM Pirates! They just came to attend BIGMOMs tea party, unexpectedly, they got involved in an Emperors battle, everybody regrets so much that they want to die, how can they get involved in this kind of thing! Now theres a lot of fun There is a murmur among the population. A person nearby twitches a little at the corner of his mouth, with cold sweat on his forehead, and says, Are you sure you want to watch the excitement and die here? This is an Emperor war! Even if they are all leaders of major forces in the dark world and they all have big names. But in this level of a collision, they are like a small boat in the stormy rain, which may capsize at any time. At this time, how can you have the heart to see the scenery! CHAPTER 284 TEN THOUSAND THUNDER Very well. It seems that guy Kaido hasnt made you suffer enough. BIGMOM narrowed her eyes and a heart-rending momentum surged from her body and swept in all directions. Almost at the next moment, she slammed her hand and pulled the clouds floating on her head, turning it into a black ray of thunderclouds. Dont think that if you beat Kaido, you will win against me! Thunder! Accompanied by BIGMOMs anger, her right hand slammed towards Ross and others in front of her and a thunderous lightning bolt hit towards them. Purple lightning surged in the field, covering hundreds of meters in an instant. It vaguely felt like the dark clouds in the sky were triggering the flash of thunder. One hit! Thunder This is Yonk (Four Emperors) No, the power of one of the Five Emperors, BIGMOM! There is a leader in the dark underground world. He shrinks in the corner and looks at this scene. He only feels a shiver run down his spine and cant help murmuring. However. Almost at the moment when the purple thunderbolt was shrinking and about to dissipate from the Void, a brilliant white ray of thunder burst from the center. This white thunder appeared instantaneously and it has spread over the purple thunder, and the vast momentum has invaded all directions, it is directly poured into the dark clouds of the sky! Looking from a distance. Like a white light through the sky! How could Mamas Thunder was actually swallowed up! Looking at this scene, someone from the BIGMOM Pirates was shocked and was wearing an unbelievable expression on his face. Is this kind of thing a Thunder? Hajrudins body is shrouded in white thunder arcs as he looked towards BIGMOM standing in the distance, revealing a cold look in his eyes, as if a God is overlooking the world. He lifted his huge Thunders left hand and slammed into the sky. Let me show you real thunder Thousand Thunder, Heaven Prison! With a roar of Hajrudin, the dark sky between them seemed to be suddenly rendered by white thunder, as if the whole sky had been turned into a sea of thunder. And almost in the next moment, the thunder was like rainstorm as it shoots down towards the Cake City Castle. The thunder was thick as a water column, shocking countless peoples minds. Ghost Hand PiratesThunder Giant Hajrudin! There was the Leader of the dark forces huddled in a corner, his face gaping at the scene in front of him. One of the people beside him looked at the sky. He was also looking a little white on the face as he said: There is no mistake. As the intelligence said, this is the ability of Logia Rumble-Rumble fruit! Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit! One of the closest invincible fruit abilities in the world. According to the rumor, only a few natural disaster fruits can be tied with it! Bang Long! Under the shocking and horror-filled gazes of countless people, the thunder filled in the sky shot down and in a moment, the upper part of the Cake City Fort was filled with smoke as countless thunder arcs were shooting down at it. The attack was focused on BIGMOM and the cadres around her and occasionally there was an uncontrolled thunder fall that fell to the edge. For a time, the top layer of the entire Cake City Fort turned into a thundering sea. When the lightning arc dissipated. The surviving people looked at the center of the thunder attacks with a stunned look on their faces. There, the BIGMOM Pirates were not completely destroyed because of this attack. I dont know where but countless biscuit shaped giants appeared, and they were holding a biscuit shield. The biscuit shields were black and scorching, but they blocked the Thunder and did not affect the many of the BIGMOM Pirates members below. BIGMOM Pirates Sweet Commander, Cracker! Some of the surviving voices trembled a little to call out the identity of the other party. Four Sweet Commanders third place, Thousand Hands Cracker! Bounty 860 million Berries! Its Brother Cracker. We are saved A number of members of the BIGMOM Pirates also broke out in a cold sweat and were relieved to see Cracker holding off the thunder attack with a biscuit soldier. Crackers body is hidden among a biscuit soldier as he looked up at the thundering Hajrudin and said in a slightly sinister tone: The only Thunder power which can swallow my Mamas thunder should be the rumored Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Your luck with this big guy is really good, but youre not qualified to shout just because of this skill! Hajrudins Kenbonshoku (Observation) has already captured Crackers body position, by virtue of the Rumble-Rumble Fruits powers, his Kenbonshoku is second only to Ross and Fujitora in the Ghost Hand Pirates. He has seen the information about the Sweet Commanders of the BIGMOM Pirates. Whether I am qualified or not, you can figure it out by yourself! Hajrudin opened his cold eyes and raised his hand and grabbed it towards the void, ut suddenly turned into a thunderbolt spear and he hurled it towards Crackers body. Cracker didnt expect Hajrudin to find his body in a moment, and his face changed, He utilized Armament Haki and controlled the biscuit soldiers to block the thunder attack. Bang! The Thunder spear hit the biscuit shield and the shield burst open. The terrifying power passed through his Armament Haki and the biscuit shield was broken. The shell of the biscuit soldier was also broken. Cracker was forced to fend off and block the attack with his sword. Seeing that Hajrudin and Cracker had already started, Shiliew sipped the cigar and snorted, saying: The nonsense will be finished here, it is time to start. Buzz!! His eyes flashed with a cold light and the second generation ghost sword was suddenly pulled out and sultry frosty sword energy went towards the front area of BIGMOM. Ice blade flow, Strike! This sword energy not only cuts the floor, tables, and chairs but also freezes everything everywhere into a white frost with an amazing force of ice! Seeing the power of this attack, Perospero and Ovens faces changed, revealing a very stunned expression. Ghost Hand PiratesShiliew of the Rain! The power of this sword, even though it is a long-range attack, is still extremely terrible. With their Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki perception, they can feel that if they tried to block it, they will be badly hurt. Just in that frosty energy, everything was cut and frozen, but when it came to BIGMOM, the ground squirmed strangely. Grunt! The originally solid City Castle ground suddenly turned into something like a rice cake. It condensed into a huge square fist in the void and attached to dark purple-colored Armament Haki. Weird, rice cake! Bang! The box-shaped fist and the frost sword energy hit each other, the whole fist was covered by the ice-cold energy for a moment, and the center of the fist was also cut with a deep crack, but it also broke Shiliews energy attack. The screaming energy of the ice shattered in all directions and all the cakes were frozen into ice. Shiliew of the rain looks at this scene, puts the blade across his body, squints his eyes slightly, and looks at a figure standing behind the square fist. A little bit of skill. The person who blocks his attack, his identity is naturally self-evident, he is the user of Paramecia Mochi-Mochi Fruit, had his fruit awakening and is the Head of the Four Sweet Commanders. Katakuri! Bounty of 1.57 Billion Berries! CHAPTER 285 FUJITORA AC King to King. I wont let you near Mama. Katakuri looked at Shiliew of the Rain with deep eyes and there was no surprise on his face from beginning to end. His Observation Haki had already initiated and all the future events so far were seen by him in advance. Shiliew of the Rain grinned, his eyes revealing a dangerous expression. Really? He lifted his foot and the ground instantly burst apart as he used Marines Rokushiki Soru while holding the second generation ghost blade and suddenly rushing toward the front. However. Katakuri didnt panic and he even rushed forward one step ahead, and his arm squirmed into a huge mace wrapped in a purple-colored Armament Haki and it hammered toward Shiliew of the Rain. Katakuri is similar to Shiliew of the Rain in the Armament Haki department. His Observation Haki is no doubt stronger than Shiliews. He may even be the strongest on the field in that department, so although his speed is inferior to Shiliew. But based on his Future Prediction Kenbonshoku, he has enough power to make up that gap. But. In terms of pure attack, he is obviously weak. Even if Mochi-Mochi Fruit is not afraid of the Cold-Cold fruit, there is no mutual restraint, and even the rice cake will be frozen, but it will be harder, which means that his attack powers are still inferior to Shiliew of the Rain. The overall gap between the two is very small and the odds of Shiliew winning are not very large, he at most has only a 60% chance which is slightly higher than what Katakuri has against him. They are fighting Neck to neck. This is the first time I saw Brother Katakuri struggling in a fight Members of the BIGMOM Pirates saw Shiliew of the Rain and Katakuri fighting against each other and their faces could not help but be somewhat suppressed. Katakuri can be said to be an almost symbolic existence within the BIGMOM Pirates, second only to BIGMOM himself! FicheuxErman threw a peanut into his mouth and was a little dissatisfied: Shiliew, this guy really robbed me of my opponent. According to the original plan, he was to deal with Katakuri. With the speed of Speed Speed ??Fruit, even if katakuri can predict the future, he cant do anything about it in a short time. He just needed to get hold of Katakuri and put him down. Then Shiliew will quickly deal with Smoothie and would win faster, but now Shiliew of the Rain and Katakuri are fighting against each other, then he can only deal with Smoothie. In this way, the difference in strength between them is not large, and it would be difficult to win or lose in a short time. Destruction Artilarry! Ficheux Erman shook his head helplessly, but he still took out a few coins from his pocket and aimed them at the cadres of the BIGMOM Pirates before shooting them out. The coins suddenly accelerated in the Void, surpassing the speed of sound in a moment and leaving a wave of blasting sounds in the air, and suddenly hit the crowd. Bang! Bang! Bang! A few bangs were heard. Some of the leaders of the BIGMOM Pirates blocked the attacks, some of them were injured by the attack of Ficheux Erman, and the one with the worst luck was directly flown out. Bastard! When the Four Sweet Commander Smoothie saw this scene, she was enraged and rushed toward Ficheux Erman. She was very clear that she could not let Ficheux Erman attack continuously. Ficheux Erman raised his eyebrows and looked at Smoothie who rushed over. I have to think about how to deal with her. Boom! Almost in a flash, Ficheux Ermans actions seemed to become a phantom. He pulled out his guns and shot a few bullets within a second, hitting them towards Smoothie. Smoothie is at the second place within the Four Sweet Commanders. Although her Observation Haki is far from Katakuri but she is also quite proficient in using it and she side-stepped in front of the bullets to avoid them completely. Let me see how fast you are. Boom! Boom! Smoothie and Ficheux Erman rushed toward each other in an instant. While Katakuri was fighting Shiliew of the Rain and Smoothie was fighting Ficheux Erman, many of the cadres of the BIGMOM Pirates also attacked Trafalgar Law, Laffitte, and Robin. The three of them joined forces to defend against the attacks of many cadres, and they struggled because of the quantitative gap. Great The BIGMOM Pirates are really powerful, they completely blocked the Ghost Hand Pirates attack! Watching from the corner, the leaders from Underground forces looked at the chaotic top floor of the Cake City fort, could not help but be shocked. Even if they are famous people in the underground world, they have never seen such scenes at the level of an Emperor War, let alone visited the scene in person. After all, it is the home ground of the BIGMOM Pirates, the Ghost Hand Pirates are in for a hard fight. Someone took a deep breath and said after looking at the battlefield. Ross and BIGMOM are not mentioned for the time being as they havent moved. The remaining members such as Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman and Thunder Giant have been completely blocked by the Sweet Commanders, and the remaining Trafalgar Law and others have been struggling because of the number gap. And the more serious problem is that there is still one Sweet Commander left on the side of BIGMOM Pirates! Now. The sand giants such as Road have come to the bottom of the Cake City Castle and are killing unstoppably to get here. However, it seems that even if the giant regiment gathers here, it will still be the BIGMOM Pirates that will have the advantage if they fight head-on. Because it is their home turf and the number of people in the BIGMOM Pirates is too great. In addition to the Four Sweet Commanders, there are four people with more than 500 million berries bounties and more than ten people between 300 million and 500 million bounties. The Yonks terrifying forces are undoubtedly revealed here! On the powers of the subordinates alone. The BIGMOM Pirates are stronger than the Beast Pirates! Since they have come here, It would be a disgrace for them to return empty-handed Some people blinked and thought secretly. Before the Ghost Hand Pirates repelled the Beast Pirates and although they did not know the specific situation but the Beast Pirates did not eat any big losses and at that time, it was the Beast Pirates that took the initiative to attack and they fought far from their territories which led to their defeat. But now. This is the base camp of the BIGMOM Pirates, and the fighting is happening during the tea party where the power of the entire BIGMOM Pirates is gathered here! The war should not become a joke. When someone noticed Fujitora standing next to Ross, who none of them knew, they couldnt help but say, By the way, who is that guy? Dont know Is he a new member of the Ghost Hand Pirates? The person next to him shook his head as he didnt know Fujitora. When they looked closely, they found that this guy seems to be a blind man, his eyes are invisible. What can he do in this situation? Just as some people wondered where Fujitora came from, why a blind man can wear the black cloak of the Ghost Hand Pirates and it seems that he has a high status. Fujitora slowly raised his head. While this old man does not look at things so my ability is limited, but I will have to do my best. The voice was calm and gentle. At the moment of falling, Fujitora held the stick and suddenly pulled out the stick sword and slammed it into the sky. A strange force was instantly hit into the sky. After a few seconds. A Meteorite started to drop from the sky! CHAPTER 286 METEORITE FALLS What did he do? When Fujitora pulled out his sword and slashed his sword into the sky, many people who stared at Fujitora were slightly bored, showing a look of uncertainty and looking up at the sky. And almost a few seconds later, in the sky that they were looking at, more than a few miles above the sky, three meteor-like points of light appeared, growing larger and larger, and falling straight down. They are three extraterrestrial meteorites! Huh, Is this for real. There should be a limit to jokes! Seeing this scene, the dark world forces that are hiding in the corner are full of horror and were wearing unbelievable expressions. Meteorite! How did the blind man do it! This kind of meteorite falling from the sky is not a joke. It is even possible that the whole Cake City Fort would completely collapse down, where they will all be affected, there will be no place and use for them to hide at that time! Seeing the meteorite that descended from the sky, many members of the BIGMOM Pirates are also in a state of sorrow. The original blind man is also a terrible existence! The last of Four Sweet Commander Snack hasnt taken any actions yet, looking at the meteorites falling from the sky, his face can not help but change as now was not the time to think how Fujitora has done it, it is more important to think how they would resist it! If there was only one, he will be able to stop it, but there are three, even if he tries his best, he can at most resist two at most, and the other one can only be resisted by Oven. However. When the three meteorites were getting closer, Snack discovered that he was too naive. The three meteorites were just falling in a triangle shape and he couldnt stop the two at the same time. The BIGMOM Pirates faced the falling meteorites and fell into chaos for a time. Countless people showed a look of horror. Candy Wall! Charlotte Family eldest son Perosperos pupil violently contracted. He waved his lollipop cane and hurriedly mobilized the ability of Lick-Lick Fruit, creating a candy shield that blocked one of the meteorites. Bang! The meteorite fell down and squatted on the candy shield. In a flash, the whole candy shield barrier was torn apart, melted in the scorching heat and smashed and the meteorite continued to fall. Charlotte Familys third son saw it and his face colors suddenly changed, he immediately rubbed his waist and released a cloud of smoke, the smoke in the Void condensed into a magical demon which waved a knife that slammed into the meteorite that broke the candy wall. As the meteorite was blocked by the candy wall, the fall of the tide had weakened, and the sword of the demon was split into two halves from the middle. But even so, the split two meteorites, still under the terrible influence, seem to be able to completely collapse the top of the Cake City Castle! Butter! At this moment, other members of the Charlotte Family rushed in a row, and at the same time, the cream cheese splashed over the sky, continuing to delay the fall of the two meteorites, and finally, it was able to reduce the fall of the two meteorites. Bang Long! The two meteorites parts were wrapped in butter and cream package and they hit the ground, There hitting the ground still caused the whole Cake City Castle to shake violently as if to collapse completely. The meteorite here has stopped, and the other two meteorites have also caused a major crisis. The fall of the three meteorites can be said to be in no particular order. Its easy to split open falling meteorite, but its not so easy to completely eliminate the impact potential of its falling. The second meteorite fell and the Sweet Commander Snack put all his efforts in blocking it. As for the remaining third one, it was falling and no one can stop it! At a critical moment. A small figure jumped up abruptly, the sword in his hand stabbed at the falling meteorite, and the tip of the sword was instantly inserted into the meteorite. Under his stab, the falling meteorite, which was burning with fire, slowed down abruptly. Then, the whole meteorite turned into a huge, buttered bread and fell on the top of the Cake City Castle under the astonishing gaze of countless people. Huhhh saved! Its the chef! The members of the nearby BIGMOM Pirates saw this scene, and the horror in their heart finally faded slowly. Head Chef of the BIGMOM Pirates. Streusen! The first person to follow BIGMOM, or the hand that guided the growth of Charlotte Linlin, to guide Charlotte Linlin onto the pirate road, and eventually become one of Yonk (Four Emperors)! Streusen, the head chef who turned the meteorite into a buttery bread, jumped over and jumped onto the buttery bread, looking at Fujitora with a dignified expression. There are still such tricky people Look like there is big trouble this time, Linlin. In the BIGMOM Pirates, most people call BIGMOM Mother or Mama. In exception to a large group of ex-husbands of BIGMOM, he is the only one who is qualified to call her Linlin! BIGMOM also saw the fall of the meteorite, but she did not stop it, because Ross stood in front of her and all of her attention was focused on Ross. Well, well I didnt expect your people to be very good. Yours too. Ross responded calmly, BIGMOMs children are also very strong, but no one seems to have inherited BIGMOMs steel balloon physique. When BIGMOM was five years old, she can hit the sword of the giant hero Yuroru and kill him. Her terrifying body can be described as unprecedented. As Yeluru said, BIGMOM looks like a human being, but in fact, she is a wicked god draped in human skin. If this physique can be passed on to future generations and passed on to children, this world would have already renamed itself as Charlotte. At this time. Sand Giant, Metal Giant Stansen, Iron Wall Giant Goldberg, Biochemical giant Yura, the four giants finally joined forces to block the BIGMOM Pirates. The situation is finally in a stalemate and Ghost Hand Pirates no longer in lack of combat powers. Chef Streusen and Sweet Commander Snack teamed up against Fujitora, although Streusen himself is also very strong but after all, he is older, and Snack is also the weakest of Four Sweet Commanders, no matter which one, if the two of them fought alone against Fujitora, they will lose. Only in the case of teaming up can they compete against Fujitora. Since everybody has already started, then I have to start too, are you ready to give me your head? BIGMOM. Ross calmly looked at Charlotte Linlin. BIGMOM is much bigger than Ross. When she heard Ross, she was not angry. Instead, she laughed and showed a dangerous expression. Well, well! There are a lot of people who want my head, but in the end, they have become my Homies. Your soul is also very strong, and you will make a strong Homiesz! As soon as her voice fell, she slammed her hand and grabbed the corner of the sun above her head, slamming it down and turning it into a hot flame, wrapped around her wrist. Skyfire! CHAPTER 287 FIS Bang! The blazing fire that roared down swallowed up Rosss area in an instant, and broke upon the ground, resulting in a huge burnt hole. Hit! The members of the BIGMOM Pirates looked at this scene and couldnt help but feel good but then they had cold sweat spilling over their foreheads. They saw that in the burning area, Ross stepped out without any damage. The burning flame could not even ignite his clothes. He was standing here but it seemed like his real body was in another space as the fire couldnt even hurt him. Is that all you can do? Ross calmly looked at BIGMOM and his eyes flashed through, and the power of distortion suddenly ignited, and the Void around BIGMOMs body was suddenly destroyed. The air is like a whirlpool in the sea, with BIGMOMs neck as the center, and the Distortion of space is needed to cut off her head. Divine! The power of distortion suddenly broke out! In the face of Rosss blow, BIGMOMs Observation Haki did not capture any clues until the space Distortion appeared where she finally noticed that something was wrong. She attached the dark Armament Haki to her entire upper body for a moment, as one of the Yonk (Four Emperors), her Armament Haki is undoubtedly also the top level. It has carried the Distortion space or the power of Distortion in the Distortion space. Stronger than I thought. There was no surprise in Rosss eyes, and his tone was calm. This is a method that he developed recently to directly hang and attack the enemy in the far space of distortion. The advantage of this method is that it can launch quickly and there is no trace to follow. Moreover, it can instantly distort the space where the vision reaches, and the attack ignores the distance. The disadvantage of this attack is that the power of this long-range attack is not strong, nor can it be incorporated into Armament Haki. For those who have strong Armament Haki, or for the logia whose body can be elementalized, this move has no great effect. But. For non-Logia users and for those whose Armament Haki is not strong, it can be said that as long as the enemy reaction is slower, they will be killed instantly by the Distortion Space! Well, it looks like it wasnt just luck that allowed you to beat that Kaido. BIGMOM touched her undamaged neck and grinned from her big and throbbing mouth, she smiled cruelly at Ross and rushed towards him. BIGMOM is not fast and she is slower than Kaido and she seems to be at a disadvantage when it comes to agility. But. Facing the rushing BIGMOM, Ross didnt have any thoughts to avoid. Instead, he clenched his right hand and the air showed a Distortion as he punched towards the rushing figure. At the same time, BIGMOM is also a punch towards Ross. Bang! The moment when the two fists collided, it seemed that a black-painted thunder burst and spread in the Void, and instantly traversed the entire sky, tearing the dark clouds of the sky into cracks, it looked as if a mirror has been broken. This is not a simple collision of forces, but a Haoshoku conflict between two of the Five Emperors! Crackling! The simultaneous outbreak of Hooshoku Haki of Ross and BIGMOM swept the entire battlefield almost instantly, setting off a terrifying hurricane that swayed in all directions. The members of the nearby BIGMOM Pirates were almost instantly wrapped up in the middle of it, and they were rewinding to the periphery. Even those cadre-level characters were retreating. Under the two conflicting terrifying pressures, their foreheads overflowed with cold sweat! Haoshokus conflict. The same Haoshoku as Mother. Sure enough, this guy had it. The Sweet Commander Smoothie, who is fighting with Ficheux Erman, paused after being affected, she took a deep breath and muttered in the direction of Ross. As one of the Five Emperors, Ross could not be justified without Haoshoku Haki, so no one was surprised at the moment of the Haoshoku conflict. But. The power of this Haoshoku conflict is a bit too fierce! The two different Haoshoku Haki, which are lingering around Ross and BIGMOM, set off the momentum of the two and it looked as if the world was eclipsed. Fortunately. Most of these two Hooshoku are in conflict and confrontation. The impact on the surrounding battlefield is only a few residual waves that leaked out. Otherwise, the whole BIGMOM Pirates regiment can be suppressed by the Haoshoku of BIGMOM alone. The Haoshoku of the two Emperors can be superposed and at that time, even the Sweet Commanders will find it hard to resist! Crackling! The lacquered black thunder constantly spreads in the Void, as if the Void has been torn apart and cracked into a crack, it is filled with terrifying power. The Haoshoku clash lasted for nearly twenty seconds before it finally subsided, and it was almost at this point that Rosss fist lurched forward. Bang! BIGMOM was shocked by the fact that the ground below her feet cracked instantly. Though she stimulated the Armament Haki to its limit, she still shifted inch by inch under Rosss power of distortion and finally flew out! BIGMOM, flying upside down, instantly shattered the battlefield and tore a dark crack in the ground behind. Just like a cannonball, BIGMOM smashed into the outer wall of the top of the Cake City castle and fell down on the Citytown below just like a meteor. Mother! Seeing this scene, Smoothie and others could not help but exclaim. No one thought Ross and BIGMOMs first encounter would end up with BIGMOM being hit head-on and flying out! What in the name of The dark forces leaders hiding in the corner were shocked as they watched this scene. They thought that it might be an equal outcome and that it might be BIGMOM who was slightly inferior, but they did not expect that BIGMOM would be hit by the front and fly back! This is the strength of one of the three monsters among the five emperors! Being able to face four of Marines top combat forces and repel Hundred Beast Kaido, this person may have surpassed Whitebeards world-class monsters! Dont panic, Mother is fine. Just as the BIGMOM Pirates were in chaos, Katakuri said, his Observation Haki had captured the specific process. Although BIGMOM flew out of the battlefield, she was not injured and she just fell to the City town below. As one of the five emperors, BIGMOM is actually a monster. It seems that she has never been hurt so far. Guns and Cannons wont work against her, and her tough body is called a steel balloon! Resilience aside. In terms of physical defense, BIGMOM is no less powerful than Hundred Beast Kaido! This is an innate ability of the Soul-Soul Fruit and it is just scratching the surface, BIGMOM is truly terrifying, almost nothing can hurt her body as if her body really sealed a wicked magic. CHAPTER 288 EARTH-SHAKING This City Fort is an eyesore. After BIGMOM flew back, Ross also noticed that BIGMOM was not injured, but he did not pursue her and instead glanced at the Cake City Fort. He doesnt like the fairytale style of this place. Even the Fishman Island style is ok compared to this, when the BIGMOM Pirates are destroyed, he will try his best to change the style of the place. As for the Cake City FortNaturally there is no need to keep it. Distortion. Under the gaze of many people, who were either thrilled or horrified, Ross raised his hand and looked at the Castle with an indifferent gaze, a surging power of distortion instantly penetrated the whole Cake City Castle. Like a waterfall, it pours down and covers the whole Cake City Castle, and the mighty power of distortion breaks out. It acts on the Cake City Castle of the size of City Town, making the whole City Castle rotate from the bottom, breaking and rising. This is bad! Katakuri foresees the future events and his pupils contract violently and he tries to rush to stop Ross. However, Shiliew of the Rains sword light flashed, forcing him to block the attack and remain in the place. What is he going to do?! Others dont have Katakuris Future Prediction ability, but they are also vaguely aware that something bad is about to happen. All of them are showing unprecedented tension, and a chill appeared in their hearts. The eyes of countless people gathered on Ross. Now. On the City Town outside the Cake City Castle, Morgan and others are watching the scene on the Cake City Castle from a distance. After seeing BIGMOM flying backward and falling onto City Town, She broke several houses, Morgans face was filled with shock and fear. But before he could say anything, the huge Cake City castle in front of him seems to be held by invisible hands form both up and downside and seemed to be twisting and a Distortion appeared on it. Bang Rumble! With a large and shocking sound, the rotating Distortion of the entire City Fortress was finally twisted into a twist by the hard Distortion! Inside the City Fort, Homies and countless members of the BIGMOM Pirates were instantly destroyed under Rosss tactic! Throughout the Citytown, countless people seemed to have lost their voices. As for the top of the City Fort, it is also in a mess at the moment. Rosss subordinates, whether they are Law or Robin, or the Giants Corps, all of them have the ability to fly and they are not afraid to fall, so when Distortion appeared on the entire Cake City Fort, their expressions remained the same. In contrast, the people of the BIGMOM Pirates are frightened. CityCity Fort is Are you kidding me? This power Not to mention the surviving ordinary cadres, even the High-Level cadres such as Oven and Dafu, and even the Four Sweet Commander Smoothie and others are shocked. The power of this one strike is enough to destroy the very earth they are standing upon! Ghost Hand!!! Just as the City Castle continued to be destroyed, and was about to collapse completely, a sharp roar came from City Town below. Standing above a thundercloud, BIGMOM flew up into the air and looked at Ross at the top of City Castle. Her eyes seem to be burning with anger. She suddenly took off her hat, which turned into a strange long sword. Spear of Elbaf Mighty Nation! BIGMOM holds the hilt of the sword in both hands and displays the ultimate moves of the giants. This move can fully exert all the power in the body of the giant and attack all using all the forces. For the physique of terrifying BIGMOM, the power inspired by this move is also earth-shaking. A terrifying slash, which is thousands of meters in length and width, seems to brush the sky and earth into white in an instant and split towards Ross on the Cake City Castle. Spear of Elbaf Hajrudin, who is fighting Cracker, looks at this scene with a little anger and says, You arent worthy of using this attack, Linlin! However, Hajrudins rage had no effect and the blade descended in a moment with the same crushing force. Faced with this move, Ross did not retreat. Because this move not only shrouded him in the attack range but also included Robin and the Giant Corps in the attack range. It was enough to split the whole Cake City Castle in two! He closed his right five fingers and clenched them into a fist. The void around his fist appeared a round of distortion. Facing the huge chop, he swiftly punched out. Distortion fist! Bang! ! ! This is the second collision between Ross and BIGMOM. The first time was a confrontation with Haoshoku Haki, and this time it was the strongest blow of BIGMOM, colliding with Rosss full-fledged Distortion Fist. The City Fort, which has been distorted into a twisted crumbling cake, collapsed in the collision of this blow and began to collapse layer by layer. A bright ray of light covers the sky. Whether it is the High-Level cadre such as Oven, or the Sweet Commander Katakuri, it is difficult for them to intervene in this attack at this moment. All of them are forced to stop the confrontation and struggled to stabilize the shape on the collapsing Cake City Fort. In the Citytown below, Morgan is taking the photos by using his Den Den Mushi. At this moment, he is also holding a video recording Den Den Mushi. He looks at the terrifying momentum in the sky, showing a touch of inner shock. This is the confrontation between two of the Five Emperors! In this sea, in front of the Five Emperors, the Supernovas of the first half and the super newcomers are really like childrens playing games! Crash! The Cake City Castle collapsed layer by layer, and many ordinary members of BIGMOM Pirates hiding in the city castle were almost destroyed. The cadres on the top floor, due to its collapsing layer by layer are all struggling to keep their bodies stable. With the broken city walls, they fall into the ruins. BIGMOM, her powers really cant be underestimated. Robin used the ability of Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) to transform countless arms and combined them into wings and flew in the sky for a short time, and looked up at Ross and BIGMOM. Shiliew of the Rain also used Gepp (Moonwalk) and did not fall with the collapse of the Cake City Fort. The power gap has not shrunk at all. He muttered in his heart, after getting the ability of the Cold-Cold fruit. His strength was improved, but the gap between his and Rosss strength did not shrink at all. Bang Long! Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the cutting strike across the sky finally broke away completely and turned into an earth-shaking bang, which exploded in the sky. The reverberations of the wave caused a crack to be formed in the middle of the sky, which stretched across the whole sky like an abyss. On the top. Ross was suspended in the sky, the after waves turned into strong winds, and the black cloak on his body was constantly shaking in the wind, but it could not affect his body. BIGMOMs all out attack is blocked by him! CHAPTER 289 BIGMOM STRENGTH! In just two moves. Ross already has a general understanding of the specific strength of BIGMOM. In terms of speed, she is weaker than Kaido. In terms of physique, she is comparable to Kaido. In terms of attack, she is better than Kaido in terms of the existence of Elbaf Sphere and the tactics of thunder and fire, she is not much worse than current Ross. Her Armament Haki and Observation Haki are also top-notch. Kaidos body is a monsters body, and BIGMOMs body is also a monsters body. It has been abnormal since childhood, and now it is even more abnormal. It is like breaking the limiter of the human body. All potential is naturally developed to the extreme, which is similar to a thin version of a certain bald-headed individual. Your speed is slower and your recovery ability is not necessarily comparable to Kaido, so I will win this battle. Rosss eyes flashed and he rushed toward BIGMOM. Even if BIGMOMs attack is similar to his and her physique is better, the odds are stacked against her because of the speed difference! No one can guarantee that they will win against a Yonk (Four Emperors), and todays Ross cant, but as long as the winning balance is tilted a little, it is enough to for a chance in the fight! And. Because BIGMOM is not fast enough and she doesnt have Kaidos Immortal Body, once she is defeated, it will be the end for her, there is no possibility of an escape! Thunderbolt! Faced with rushing Ross, despite her slower speed, BIGMOMs top Kenbonshoku (Observation) still captures Rosss movements. She grabbed the thundercloud under her feet and her right arm was surrounded by crackling thunder arcs as she punched him. Bang! With this punch, the thunder of Homie Zeus and the Armament Haki are superimposed perfectly, and the clash with Rosss power of distortion is so intense that both of their arms are shaken badly. Ross, who was shaken away by BIGMOM, didnt stop at all. His other hand clenched and he punched out again. The double punches were banged quickly to give full play to the advantage of speed. Bang! Bang! Bang! BIGMOM, with her arms around Zeus, repeatedly confronted Ross, but because she was a little slower than Ross, she was forced to fold her arms in front of her after a dozen moves to defend against the onslaughts of attacks. In general, Ross storm-like attacks continues and he had already punched more than ten times and the power of distortion erupts like a series of impacts, hitting BIGMOMs relatively huge arm, which makes the void vaguely present with a form of distortion. Finally, the thundercloud at her foot cant bear it, and it collapses under the heavy pressure. BIGMOM entire body also falls straight to the ground and crashes into the ruins of City Town. After BIGMOM crashes to the ground, Ross clenched his right hand into a fist again. With a rapid cohesion of power of distortion, he swung his fist into the air and hit the ground with a sudden blow. DistortionGuns! Bang! The whole cake island was hit by Ross and the island shook as if there was a Magnitude-10 earthquake. Countless houses were cracked and the aftershocks of the attacks were set off on the sea, setting off a terrible wave. When the after wave disappeared, there was a huge hole hundreds of meters around in the area directly below Ross and it seemed like a meteorite had fallen out of the sky. At the bottom of the crater. BIGMOMs arms were stacked on top of her head, showing a resisting posture. There are a few scratches on her arms, but it seems that there are just a few scratches. She slowly put down her arms and looked at Ross in the sky. There was no anger on her face and she said with a serious and cold voice. Feuer(Heavens Fire)! As the voice dropped, she swung her arms up. The fairy-tale sun floating above her head burst into a blazing flame in a flash, like a volcanic eruption, turning into a towering fire pillar, and went towards Ross in the sky. Doesnt homies need the energy to attack? Seeing this scene, Rosss eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and his figure moved across a large span in the sky, avoiding the attack of the pillar of fire. The rules applicable to ordinary people also apply to the top powers such as Ross. After an all-out attack or several all-out attacks, even if there is some stamina left in the body, there will be a short vacuum period. No one can keep fighting for several days and nights with their full powers. Even Kaido cant do it. In general, after an outbreak, they require a short time to rest and they will only use general attacks. The same is true for Ross. But. The Homies next to BIGMOM, Prometheus and Zeus, two things made from BIGMOMs own soul seemed to remain unaffected by this rule. These Two Homies can continue to attack with their full strength just after BIGMOM had used her all-out attacks, it looked like they might not have to rest even for a little in a battle. There is no Weak Yonk (Four Emperors). Ross muttered in his heart, reining in his previous disdain for BIGMOM. But. Even if BIGMOM can use Homies, made by Soul-Soul Fruit, to maximize the vacuum period after the full-scale attack, the balance of the winning and losing will still not change much! Being slow and not flexible is BIGMOMs Achilles heel! Whiz! After avoiding the Fire Column, Ross charged towards BIGMOM and came behind BIGMOM and slammed into her back. BIGMOMs Kenbonshoku (Observation) has already captured Rosss actions. At the same time, her right arm has surrounded the thunder and flame at the same time, and attached to Armament Haki. Thunder and flame, plus Armament Haki, the three forces are almost perfectly intertwined, forming a heart-throbbing force that faced against Rosss fist. Bang! In the collision, Ross took a step back because of the breathing period. But in the next moment, Ross figured appeared to the side of BIGMOM and without spending any time and effort, he kicked her directly. Boom! BIGMOM was too late to make any sort of counter-attacks against Ross and was forced to cross her arms in front of her. After forcing BIGMOM to block this foot, Ross flashed and the ability of Space Distortion was utilized. One moment his figure was in front of BIGMOM, and the next he is on her back, punching BIGMOM in the back. Bang! In the face of Rosss unpredictable speed, BIGMOM couldnt keep up with the attack rhythm even if she tried her best to inspire the Observation Haki. After that, she got punched and was thrown back. Thunderstrike! Heavens fire! And almost at the moment when BIGMOM was sent back flying, the souls of the two BIGMOMs Homies Prometheus and Zeus simultaneously attacked and fire and thunder intertwined and swallowed Ross in an instant. Ross didnt waste his stamina to use the Distortion space to resist this attack and he instead used his whole body Armament Haki to resist it and rushed out of the thunder. Go away! Rosss eyes flashed with a cold light and his arms slammed to the sides as the power of distortion broke out and hit the thunderclouds and fire clouds. With a cry of power of distortion, Prometheus and Zeus are thrown into a distortion of cloud and flame. But. Even if they were broken by the attack, the two groups of thunder fires quickly recovered in the next moment, and it seemed that they had the power to not die. CHAPTER 290 BIG MOVE: SPATIAL SWORD! Being slightly blocked by thunder cloud and fire cloud, BIGMOM recovered and rushed towards Ross again. The fat body is like a steel cannonball, which contains a heart-rending power. Ordinary homies are influenced by your Haki and they cant even get close to you. But Prometheus and Zeus are different. They are made from my soul. BIGMOMs face showed a trace of ferocity smile full of wicked meaning. Her hands thrust into the body of thundercloud and flame, as if she had put on the fist ring of thundercloud and flame, and attacked Ross. Ross has Haoshoku Haki, and he can suppress ordinary people with his immense will General Homies who are made with the souls of ordinary people, naturally does not have the qualification to intervene in this level of a Battle. However, Zeus and Prometheus are different. Because they are the soul incarnation of BIGMOM, they will not be suppressed by Haoshoku Haki. They can not only assist BIGMOM in her attacks but also has some intelligence to do some self-attack. Youre right. Ross blocked BIGMOMs thunder fire attacks and said: My Haoshoku really cant suppress them, but they are not immortal, are they? There was a hint of coldness in his eyes. Although it seems that they broke up and then recovered, in fact, it is impossible to have no damage. Ross can clearly sense the weakening of the will of these two thunder fires. In other words, as long as they are broken up a few times, they will be destroyed. Without the interference of these two, even if it would not be an easy task but he would have a chance to kill BIGMOM. But. Ross didnt plan to do something so troublesome as it would cost him time and his strength which will make the later fight a hard one. His eyes were shining with cold light. Before today, he had figured out several new tricks and he will just use BIGMOM to test them out one by one. After two collisions with BIGMOM, he drew his sword out of its sheath. Divide! The cold words spit out. In the next moment, Rosss figure disappeared out of thin air and suddenly divided into four, standing in four corners, surrounding BIGMOM in the center. It seems that there are suddenly four identical Ross! This is not a phantom, but an application of the Distortion space, which allows Ross to appear in four different positions at the same time, like drawing four black dots on a piece of paper, and then folding them in four ways that will make the black spots stacked together. What is this? There was a moment of doubt in BIGMOMs eyes. Her Kenbonshoku was able to detect that Ross was real in all four directions, and not one was a mirage. Four identical Ross, with same indifference eyes and made exactly the same movement, and slammed from four directions. Phantom Spatial Sword! A whistling and killing breath rises from the sky! Faced with Rosss weird tricks, BIGMOMs pupils contracted and for the time she didnt know how to avoid them. She could only surround her body with thunder fires and attach Armament Haki to the whole body to prepare for the counterattack. But. By the time she decided to passively defend, it was already too late. The most correct way to avoid or block this attack is to not worry about four directions at all, just one direction, which is equal to four directions at the same time, because this is just the form of space Distortion. But many wouldnt be able to do this in the middle of a battle and would only defend which would be right up Rosss alley. Long before Ross pulled out this attack, he had speculated that BIGMOM would probably try and defend against it. Si! Si! Si! Si! Almost instantaneously, all can see Ross in four directions, flickering and disappearing at the same time. In a dazzling way, he continuously flashed from four directions. With the power of distortion, BIGMOMs body is completely wrapped in it, as if she had become a hedgehog in an instant. In the end. An unknown number of hits attacked her body in a single second that explodes at the same point. Ah! BIGMOM is aware of the coming crisis, and at the critical moment, she suddenly bumps into the distance to try to avoid these attacks, but she was only able to avoid the key point, and her shoulder is still wiped by this force. Almost in an instant, the diffuse power of thunder and fire were completely torn apart and her top Armament Haki didnt resist long either. Finally, the attacks came to her final defense: her strong body. Multiple defenses were torn open instantly. Her arm, which had never been hurt, seemed to be bitten by some terrifying beast. There was a huge gap in it and when the blood gushed, everyone could see the bones in her arm! BIGMOM was hit hard! Not good! How come The BIGMOM Pirates Four Sweet Commanders and Oven and others were observing BIGMOMs battle against Ross even though they were fighting tough opponents. Barely twenty into BIGMOMs fight with Ross, there was a huge hole in his arm that seems to have been ripped apart by knives and spears, and there was a look of near disbelief in everyones eyes. In their memory, BIGMOM had never been wounded in Battle except for the weak time when the nuns photo was shattered! Neither guns nor cannons could hurt BIGMOM and the occasional Supernova pirates that made it to her were useless. But now! In the fight against Ghost Hand Ross, she was seriously injured in the confrontation that had only been going for less then half an hour. She suffered such a huge blow in this short amount of time. Ghost Hand Rosss strength is a bit too ridiculous! You used the stupidest way to deal with it Rosss figure finally appeared behind BIGMOM. He was leaning on his sword and had sweat on his forehead, breathing slightly heavy. This trick is also a trick that fully utilizes Space Distortion. It is one of his most recently developed tricks. It is also very costly for him, and it is almost overloaded. His strength is originally stronger than BIGMOMs, even if he is only slightly stronger, but strong is strong, and in this case, she is weaker than Ross. Faced with Rosss big move, she chooses the wrongest way to deal with it. It will naturally be not good for her! This trick is different from Instantaneous Cut-Spatial Cut. The Instantaneous Cut-Spatial Cut is an attack that requires stamina and can be easily avoided in the presence of a top-notch Kenbonshoku (Observation). This trick is to control the space around you, then use the space ability to put yourself in four positions at the same time, and then attack at the same time, cutting horizontally. The innumerable attacks are like a hedgehog, all centered on one point. After the attack is completed within one second, the power will be superposed and exploded in an instant. There is only one perfect solution, that is, just pick a single direction and hit Ross hard with every ounce of strength. Other than that. Once you choose the stupidest place to resist the attack and want to defend against it than you will fall into an irreversible situation! Naturally. If the opponents speed is extremely fast, almost the same as Kizaru than there is a chance to escape or leave the attack range before the attack is superimposed and exploded. Speaking of it, because this is the first time that Ross had used this attack in actual combat, it is not yet perfect. If he changes the target to Kaido, who is a little faster, he may be able to avoid it at the last moment. But. BIGMOM couldnt dodge because her speed was severely short! This is one of the reasons why Ross chose to use this move. Since he intends to use a big move, he should choose the most suitable and effective thing. The results today are obviously very good. This is a very useful and heavy trick! CHAPTER 291 DEVELOPING RAPIDLY AFTER A SUDDEN TURN This situation is not good. The Head of the Four Sweet Commanders in the BIGMOM Pirates, Katakuri looked at the scene, and there was a slight flash of light in his eyes. Because Ross and BIGMOM were too far apart and he was focused on his fight against Shiliew of the Rain, he could not be distracted. So he didnt foresee this scene. And even if he did foresee this event, it would be difficult for him to interfere at such a long distance. Shiliew is not an easy opponent and his combat powers are on per with him. His sword-arts combines the coldness of Cold-Cold fruit has a strong attack power. Nagare Mochi(Flowing Mochi)! Katakuri acted and used his Devil Fruit ability and the ground in front of him suddenly squirmed, turned into a sea of mochi, a few pieces of land creeping up, instantly entangled the lower part of Shiliew of the Rain, trying to devour Shiliew of the Rain in one go. At the same time, Katakuri was also rushing toward Ross. But. Almost in the next moment, the creeping ground like rice cake suddenly stopped creeping, and a layer of cold frost spread out in an instant and swung in all directions. Under the freezing force of extreme cold, the extremely viscous rice cake is frozen into a block of very brittle ice. The part of rice cake that binds Shiliew is split like glass in an instant. If I let you interfere with Captains Battle, where would I put my pride then? Shiliews eyes had a hint of coldness in them and he suddenly swung a sword at Katakuri. The sword edge swept away with the cold force. Katakuri made a leap to avoid the blow, but Shiliew had already rushed in and attacked him again and while he was distracted, he pushed him to stop and confront him. The sword edge flashed, leaving a few blood marks on Katakuri. The moment the blood mark appeared, it was frozen by the extreme cold and looked like a bloody crystal has condensed there, and it was abnormally terrifying. MAMA! When Smoothie saw that BIGMOM was injured, she also exclaimed and attacked Ficheux Erman to distract him and tried to rush towards BIGMOM. But FicheuxErmans sheer speed makes it harder for her to get rid of Ficheux Erman than it is for Katakuri to get rid of Shiliew of the Rain. Dont disturb Captains Battle, or Captain will be angry at me. Ficheux Ermans body flickered and it was in front of Smoothie. Get out of the way! Smoothie screamed and slammed her fists at Ficheux Erman. Ficheux Ermans body turned into a residual image and while he avoided the attack on one side, he kicked Smoothies lower belly at a very fast speed. Smoothies sword was cut in the air and he Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki caught Ficheux Ermans movement, but the whole person was still thrown upside down by Ficheux Ermans accelerated kick. Speed ??is power. Under Speed ??Fruits time acceleration, Ficheux Ermans body skills are also extremely strong, and the power of each kick is unquestionable. The only flaw in him is that with a physical attack, he needs to withstand the anti-shock force because of the force. It is mutual. His physique is not as strong as Rosss, so he seldom uses body skills. In most cases, he uses speed fruit to speed up things like coin bullets. Faux Pass. When he kicks Smoothie to fly backward, Ficheux Erman also shows his teeth a little, and his lower leg is a little sore. He raises his gun and shot Smoothie three times. Three bullets burst out and Smoothie found herself in an inverted flight, barely avoiding two bullets, the third bullet could not be avoided completely and was shot in her shoulder, the whole shoulder was pierced instantly. Dman It Smoothie twisted her arm and the wound instantly healed together. This is not true healing, but using the fruit ability to coagulate, it is similar to the ability of Doflamingos thread that he could use to repair his internal organs. Ficheux Erman saw it and smiled and continued to attack. As one of the Four Sweet Commanders, she would not be easily defeated by him, but the BIGMOM Pirates would be stopped here. Ding Dong! Chef Streusen joined forces with Snack, and he attacked Fujitora. Streusens sword arts are not very impressive, but his sword is able to turn everything it touches into food, which forces Fujitora to use the Armament Haki to defend his blade. After perceiving BIGMOMs injury, Streusen screamed in his heart and he wanted to support BIGMOM but the strength of the two of them was just enough to deal with Fujitora. Supporting BIGMOM is simply a fantasy, and they could not support her at the moment. GravityBlade! Fujitora also noticed that Ross had the upper hand and hit BIGMOM hard. He also discovered that Streusen and others were trying to support her. He didnt hesitate to inspire his ability. The stick blade in his hand wrapped the Void like the gravity of Distortion and a mountain-like pressure collapsed upon Streusen and Snack. Aware of the terrifying power of Fujitoras outbreak, both of them had to work together to resist it. For a while, they were even distracted to see the battlefields of Ross and BIGMOM. With the trust of his Excellency Ross, I will do my best. Fujitora suppresses Streusen and Snack on by one as the terrifying heavy burden on them makes them seem to bear the weight of a heavy mountain in every move. No one nearby can interfere with the battle of Fujitora, as long as one enters the area around Fujitora, they will be affected by this gravity. In addition to the Four Sweet Commanders, only high-ranking cadres such as Oven can resist a little. Other ordinary cadres, it would be impossible for them to even move once they enter the gravity field. Crackling! In the whistling of the Thunder, Hajrudin was holding a Thunder Giant Axe, fighting with Cracker, even if Cracker made a large number of biscuit soldiers, with the speed of Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Hajrudin is still able to fight him to a standstill. He also noticed that BIGMOM was hit hard, and Crackers pupil contracted. He controlled a large number of biscuit soldiers, trying to interfere with Rosss Battle. But. Seeing that he wanted to interfere with the confrontation between Ross and BIGMOM, Hajrudin instantly broke out with his powers. Even if I cant beat that wicked demon by myself, its absolutely impossible for me to let this guy interfere with Captains Battle! 200 million volts, El Thor(Judgment of God)! Accompanied by a roar, Hajrudins whole body exploded with lightning, and his whole body suddenly expanded to be like a god. His body was filled with white thunder, and his skin and clothes were all turned into white lightning. In a sudden burst, Rumble-Rumble Fruits powers are safely stimulated by Hajrudin, and thunderbolts surge over him. Bang! He chopped it out with a sudden stroke, and the burst of thunder was like a waterfall, which washed out more than ten biscuit soldiers nearby, making them full of thunder, turning into a burnt state, and burning a raging fire. Damn It! Cracker looked at the rushing Hajrudin and couldnt help but bite his teeth and was forced to give up control of the biscuit soldier who he sent to support BIGMOM. His sword slammed towards Hajrudin. Hajrudins speed was extremely fast. After sweeping a batch of biscuit soldiers, an axe was wrapped in countless large thunders and like a thundering six-pointed star, it cut towards Cracker. Bang! In a frontal collision between Cracker and Hajrudin, after a few seconds of deadlock, the whole person flew back in a panic. His purple hair became a little burnt, and there were burn marks on his body. Obviously, Hajrudins thunder power is stronger than his! Elbafs Guns! Majesty! Hajrudin raised the axe of thunder in both hands, and with a sudden roar, all the power was concentrated in one point and burst out. Crackers face changed dramatically, and the whole man retreated to the rear, controlling five or six cookie soldiers to block his front area, but he was still attacked as his cookie soldiers have smashed apart one by one and turned into burnt debris. Bang! This attack finally hit Cracker, Cracker waved his sword to resist the attack but was sent flying backward, he utilized Armament Haki to block the thunder, but could not resist the impact of Hajrudins attack. His chest became stuffy and blood spurted out. No one can support BIGMOM, and the Four Sweet Commanders are all blocked. The situation of the stalemate between them has changed dramatically in a blink of an eye. In just half an hour of play, the BIGMOM Pirates have already failed! CHAPTER 292 DESTROY THE HEAVENS AND EXTINGUISH THE EARTH! BIGMOM, who was severely injured, after staring at her wound for several seconds, made a strident and squealing noise like a wild animal, which pierced the clouds and made the whole battlefield a mess in an instant. Her Haoshoku Haki burst out accompanied by the harsh scream and even Katakuri and other Commanders, or Shiliew of the Rain and others were all strongly influenced and suppressed. A moment ago, she was hit hard by Ross. In the next moment, she once again showed the power of a Yonk (Four Emperors)! This is a shrill screaming sound, combined with Haoshoku Haki even made Rosss eardrum Buzzed and it also affected the whole island! Too noisy. Ross frowned, snorted, and with a sudden Distortion clears the shrieking sound around him and locks on BIGMOM. Zi Zi Zi! Everything became centered around BIGMOM and the visual explosion sounds from every directions were gradually suppressed and eventually confined to an area of ??about ten meters. The scream that suppressed the entire audience was suppressed by Ross alone! Lets see how long you can do this. Ross is floating in the air, one hand pressing the Void in front of him. The void forms a visible cover that encloses BIGMOM and completely isolated her scream. In this case, the sound wave in the cover area is very terrifying, because it is reflected back and forth by the power of distortion, even Ross would not want to step into that area. But. BIGMOM, the screaming sender, does not seem to be affected by the overlapping sound waves of the Distortion reflection, and it is still screaming. In the area of ??ten meters, it seems to have become a space of Distortion. The sound waves visible to the naked eye are swaying in the continuous Distortion. Although the ground is absorbing some of it, it is constantly superimposed. Once it breaks out, the power would be unimaginable! You stay back. Ross suppressed the scream of BIGMOM and also noticed that if the sound wave broke out, it would a completely different story for him and his crew. When Robin and Laffitte heard Rosss words, they quickly responded and quickly retreated to the distance, while the BIGMOM Pirates also stare in place and had not fully recovered from the previous influence of the scream. That guy not good! Katakuri stared at Rosss direction. After a flash of light, his pupil suddenly shrank, as if he had seen a terrifying picture, and rushed towards the nearby people. Retreat and stay away from MAMA and that guy! Katakuris prestige was second only to BIGMOM herself in the BIGMOM Pirates. He rushed and quickly responded to the people around him, and retreated in panic. One second, two seconds, three seconds Time has passed so slowly at this moment that the eyes of those who look back and forth in the direction of Ross and BIGMOM are nervous, revealing palpitations and panic. Nine seconds ten seconds! When the time reached the tenth second, the sound wave that was suppressed by Ross was finally burst out and the reason for the explosion was that the ground could no longer absorb the sound waves that were constantly reflected and superimposed. Bang Long! An earth-shattering noise rang. In the area where BIGMOM was standing, the whole earth collapsed and cracked, spreading in all directions, and even Ross was swept in it. Ross also didnt expect the squeal of BIGMOM, and the Distortion will transform it into a nuclear bomb. Without any doubt, he raised his Armament Haki to the limit and also used Space Distortion to defend himself. In the eyes of countless people who are shocked and horrified. The Cake Island with BIGMOM as the center started to collapse from nearly a kilometer away. It was like a giant meteorite striking from the sky, and the terrifying aftershocks spread in all directions. Almost for a moment, the houses on the streets around the city were destroyed. The weaker, slow-moving people were directly smashed into a flesh and blood. This sound waves, in fact, can no longer be called sound waves, in the case of countless reflection superposition and countless compression, it is similar to a sonic bomb! Wherever it went, it destroyed the earth! Qi Shiliew of the Rain swung a sword, and the invisible intention of the sword forced the aftermath of the frontal impact to split. As Fujitoras face sank and his sword swung, the earth flipped under the weight of gravity, forming a huge wall that stood in the way of the fallout. It happened that Robin was also nearby, and she went straight to the rear of Fujitora. Law used ROOM and quickly and retreated to a very long distance. Laffitte and Ficheux Erman also performed extremely fast and also reached the far-flung places where the aftermath was weak. The Logia Giants, such as Hajrudin and Road felt no pressure because this aftermath does not contain Armament Haki, their bodies are instantly broken by the impact, but it does not matter. Compared to it. Under this attack, the BIGMOM Pirates were severely affected. In addition to the small impact on the Commanders and others, Oven and others were not seriously injured. The lower cadres and the bottom figures were almost wounded in pieces. In some serious cases, there werent even bones remained and the lighter ones were seriously injured and numb! When the aftermath is gone. The whole cake island is already in a mess, and there is no one intact building. The entire island is shaking! Its too terrifying I almost died. Morgan and others were not aware of it and they were just people who followed Robin and others to flee together, but they still survived, but at the moment they are still afraid. This is the Battle between the Five Emperors! Not to mention that there is a great deal of danger to their lives, even if they are far away! How is BIGMOM? Morgan took a deep breath and thought about it, looking at the center of the island. Over there. Just like the explosion of a giant cannonball, a huge Pit with a diameter of more than 1000 meters appears like a sinkhole, which is shocking. In that pit hole, two figures appeared. Rosss cloak was broken, and his other clothes appeared a little broken. He stood at the bottom of the pit with the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand and a trace of blood on his mouth. I miscalculated, but it seems to have worked. Although he looked distressed and even miserable, his face did not show any wrong expressions, because BIGMOM was in a worse state than his! In front of him, more than ten meters away. The huge BIGMOM was standing there covered in blood, with hardly a piece of intact skin in her whole body. She was like a wicked devil just climbing out of hell! But she is still alive. And her breath did not weaken much. GhostHand A depressed and terrifying sound came from the mouth of BIGMOM, who was covered in blood. It made everyone feel creepy! There was a faint color surprised on Rosss face, but there was no fear. Is it just a skin injury? The steel balloon is worthy of its name, but with such a skin injury, she would not be able to hold it for long. BIGMOMs body is strong and the noise she makes doesnt show any internal injuries during the final burst. But a scar can be regarded as a skin injury, then what about the entire surface of the skin being destroyed? With the blood pouring out, BIGMOM doesnt have Kaidos ability to recover quickly in this situation, even without internal injuries, she will not last long! You Die The sound seems to come from the most depressing parts in hell and continued to come from the mouth of BIGMOM, who was covered in blood. She opened her scarlet and blood-stained eyes and it seemed like a devil waking up from hell. Whiz! Staring in Rosss direction, she directly rushed towards him! CHAPTER 293 VIOLENT BIGMOM Bang! Bang! Bang! BIGMOM, who is surrounded by her blood, seems to have inspired all the power, vitality and potential in her body. Under this rush, it is a different speed than before! Although this speed is still not as good as Ross, it is even faster than Kaido! Bang! Ross, undeterred by BIGMOMs ferocity, competence up his right fingers and shook BIGMOM with a low fizz. After several seconds of deadlock, BIGMOMs wicked burst of power slightly changes Rosss face. She burst through the power of distortion with a huge and bloody fist, making Ross fall backward and fly out. Ghost Hand Ross pushed back How could this be?! Originally seeing the tragic situation of BIGMOM, many members of the BIGMOM Pirates were depressed and lost all morals and fighting spirit, but BIGMOMs sudden violent attack causes them to smile, her violent attack pushed Ross back for the first time and they are all ecstatic. This should be the real power of BIGMOM! What Ghost Hand Ross, what Fifth Emperor, they are all trash! Her speed is getting faster and her power is getting stronger Ross, flying upside down, steadied himself in the air and looked into BIGMOMs eyes with a certain amount of respect and scrutiny. For BIGMOM, this is the end of the line. But. Even ordinary people, in the face of death, are likely to break out with unprecedented power, let alone a big monster such as BIGMOM! In the dying situation, the vitality is fully aroused, all the hidden power of the body, all the potential, are completely gone! Thinking of Whitebeard dragging his injured body in the War Of The Best while being repeatedly attacked by three Admiral, and even beating Akainu enough that it would have killed ordinary people several times, but he could still continue to fight and not only did he hit Akainu, but he also fought against the Blackbeard Pirates. A Yonk (Four Emperors) is not so easy to kill. But. Today, he is going to lay the foundation stone of climbing to the top with the blood of a Yonk (Four Emperors)! Distortion Fist! In the face of the incoming BIGMOM, Ross screamed and punched. In the collision between the two fists, BIGMOMs blood sputtered and turned scarlet, and Ross stumbled back again. Come back! There was a ferocity on his face, and he once again charges towards BIGMOM. The near-death person falls into a rampage, but its just a near-death counterattack, and the overload outbreak is not the unique ability of any one person! Bang! Bang! Bang! Loud sounds blew constantly. In front of BIGMOM, who is on the verge of death and has completely gone bereaved, it is difficult for Ross to play with speed, and every blow is pure strength! With Maximum Tenaciouss Value and Rocks physique and his top-level Armament Haki and Kenbonshoku (Observation), Ross doesnt have any fear. What about a near-death outbreak? If he was forced to the brink of death, he would also be able to break out with earth-shaking power, but its impossible to force him to the brink of death just with BIGMOM alone in front of him! What to fear? Bang! Bang! Bang! The loud sound of Bang blew continuously at the bottom of the sinkhole. The power of the Battle between the Five Emperors is displayed incisively and vividly at this moment. Every blow makes the whole cake island seem to tremble and make countless people afraid. Under the condition of overload explosion, Ross is fighting against a rambling BIGMOM, although every blow will push him back slightly but he is without fear as he continues this bloody fight! The joy on the faces of BIGMOM Pirates, who had seen BIGMOM explode with more power and overpower Ross, faded. In particular, Katakuri and other faces are even more ugly. MAMAs state She cant support it for a long time. Perospero, with a trace of blood on his face, looked at the battlefield in the distance and opened his mouth in a somewhat ugly way. He could see that this was just a kind of overload outbreak of overdraft life in the dying state of BIGMOM. Its impossible for the outbreak of nature to last forever! Ordinary pirates may not be able to see it but these strong pirates can fully judge that if BIGMOM cant beat Ross in this explosive state, then they will be defeated! And. Looking at the current situation, Ross is completely able to resist BIGMOMs violent power state! Shit. Katakuris face is very gloomy, his eyes sweeping toward Fujitora and others, saying: Even if we want to help, those guys wont sit back. With their strength, it was almost impossible to get past Fujitora and the others to support BIGMOM and defeat Ross quickly! The atmosphere was oppressive. Everyone had the worst possible outcome in mind, but no one spoke. In the silence, the eldest son, Perosperso spoke slowly. There is no way. If Mother is defeated by Ghost Hand Ross, BIGMOM Pirates will die here with her. Even if Mother can defeat Ghost Hand Ross, she would be too injured to be treated and we would have to stop here! Only the last case scenario in which Mother can defeat Ghost Hand Ross without many serious injuries and with timely treatment can we continue to survive! At this point, Perospero paused and dropped his face a little. Be well aware Our fate lies in the Battle between Mother and Ghost Hand Ross! Perosperos words put a chill on the BIGMOM Pirates, especially Katakuri, who could see that BIGMOM had little chance of beating Ross. And such a serious injury, overdraft vitality burst, even if she really can defeat Ross, It would probably be impossible for her to be treated. Once BIGMOM dies. Where will the BIGMOM Pirates go? Without the Battle power of a Yonk (Four Emperors), even if other people survived, it makes no sense, the entire pirate group will completely fall apart! On the field. The fight between Ross and BIGMOM is on its final leg. Under the fierce attack of BIGMOM, Rosss body had already begun to show scars, burned by the fire, injured by the thunder But these injuries, before Rosss incredible resilience, were instantaneous healed. Naturally. Under the frenzied onslaught of BIGMOM, Rosss stamina consumption was also at an all-time high, far higher than in his previous battle with Kaido. With the Distortion space, he can temporarily retreat, but in the state of BIGMOM, if he retreats, she is bound to find Shiliew of the Rain and others directly. In that case, it will inevitably lead to tragic results, and the BIGMOM Pirates will also be able to completely dominate the battle once again and the situation will become extremely bad. Whats more. Ross is not going to fall to the point where he chooses to escape in this situation and let others fend off the rampage of BIGMOM. Once he has the idea of relying on others in his mind and wants to go to the top, he will be put in a heavy shackle. He can leave the chores to his subordinates, but in a battle like this, he can never back down. This is not only the tempering of the flesh, but also the tempering of the will! Whats more. Even if BIGMOM goes on a rampage, Ross doesnt plan to win by just surviving her rage-filled rampage. Its not his way and its not his style. Looking at the whole body bathed in blood, it looks like there is no rational thought in the mind of BIGMOM and Rosss eyes twinkle with a cold light. This statelets see its limits! CHAPTER 294 ANNIHILATION Bang! Bang! Bang! BIGMOM was bleeding all over, and she still kept punching Ross again and again. With his speed exceeding that of BIGMOM, Ross flashed sideways in the crack, and his body was like a piece of paper as he escaped BIGMOMs punches. The punches missed their target but they still fell on the ground like mountains, shaking the ground and shaking the survivors on cake island. A Continuous struggle. Ross has confirmed the status of BIGMOM, who seemed to has a high Battle instinct at this time and she will avoid any dangerous attacks on herself instinctively without showing any flaws. Even when he casts instant kill attacks, BIGMOM can avoid them with her speed and dangerous instincts. But. This form also has a very big shortcoming, that it is basically a double-edged sword in which she wouldnt be able to see any flaws in her opponents which is the same for her opponent as Ross cant see any flaws in her attack, but this is a disadvantage for BIGMOM as she wont be able to turn the situation around! In other words, Ross can do whatever he wants to do and he doesnt have to fear the flaws in the exhibition process, and he wont be caught BIGMOM! Losing reason in a battle is the prelude to death! After avoiding BIGMOMs various punches in a row, Ross folded his hands in front of him and stepped forward. He stepped back to the tens of meters, and his eyes flickered. Buzz!! The power of distortion in his body suddenly broke out between his palms! How terrifying is Rosss power of distortion today? Even Hundred Beast Kaido would need to go all out to match his attack power and he still would be a little inferior, and BIGMOM overdraws the vitality of her body and she still can barely make Ross retreat! Almost at this moment, the power of distortion in his body was completely stimulated by Ross and condensed on the palm of his hand, the Void around his palms suddenly appeared in the form of Distortion, as if there was a translucent vortex! But. This step has just begun! Product! Staring at the rushing BIGMOM, Ross stepped back again and backed out of the distance of dozens of meters, avoiding BIGMOMs punch. Meanwhile, he spoke in a low voice and his two hands attached to the dark Armament Haki, which seems to be under great pressure. His forehead is also instantaneous overflow with blue veins as if they had already reached on the verge of their limit! Buzz!! A depressed Buzz sound suddenly swayed. The distortion of the power of distortion around Rosss hands, which originally had a diameter of nearly one foot, was suddenly reduced to only a few inches. And as the vortex continues to rotate and shrink, the translucent power of distortion gradually becomes a gray tone and a strange energy that can be seen with the naked eye appeared! you die! BIGMOM mouth made a fierce beast-like sound. There was no rational existence in the bloodshot and scarlet pupils. There was just madness and she ignored what Ross was doing and continued to rush towards Ross. Ross can no longer use the Distortion space, because the power of distortion has been out on his hands in full force, facing the BIGMOM attacks he continues to use his body to escape. Bang! Bang! BIGMOMs continuous punches were all avoided by Ross, but one of the punches hit Rosss shoulders. Ross was still sent flying back into the ruins. What the hell is Ghost Hand Ross doing? The members of the BIGMOM Pirates have revealed a look of surprise and doubt. Before Ross and BIGMOM were facing each other in frontal combat, but suddenly Ross changed his style and began to constantly retreat to avoid her attacks. Because the distance is too far, no one dares to approach and because Ross and BIGMOMs battle area is filled with Haoshoku Haki, It is difficult for Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki to penetrate past it and they can only see the situation with their naked eyes. Perosperos eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, muttering: Is he on his last legs too? Or does he intend to use this way to exhaust and kill Mother It may be because he has no more strength left. Oven stood and said in a quiet voice. We have never seen MAMA in this state before. It seems that there is no need for her to rest and she can continue to erupt with her full power in her every attack. Ross and Mother have been fighting for some time now, maybe he has no strength left, Lets go and help Mother. No. Katakuris Kenbonshoku (Observation) Hakis Future Prediction suddenly showed him something and he hurridly shouted to stop others from rushing forward, while others Kenbonshoku (Observation) could not penetrate into the battle area, he could still look a little. Katakuri stared at the field and barely perceive something confusing. He said in a low voice: That Ghost Hand Ross seems to be preparing for something Preparing What? When he heard Katakuri, Perospero and others were stunned. In the field. Ross, who had been put in a ruin by BIGMOMs punch jumped out of the ruins just before BIGMOM rushed into the ruins, he still maintained his posture of overlapping palms. At this time, the gray vortex that wandered around his palm was compressed to less than an inch, and the color began to become darker and deeper, moving closer to the darkest color. In this process, even his Armament Haki, which was condensed on Rosss palm was stirred up and caught in the vortex, it compressed and squeezed! Ho Ho BIGMOM continues to charge into Ross while strange sounds were coming out of her mouth. Ross stepped on Gepp (Moonwalk) in the air and rushed to the sky to avoid BIGMOM attack, but BIGMOM instantly took Thundercloud and rushed towards Ross. At this moment, Rosss body has become a little heavy, avoiding BIGMOMs two attacks, he kicked out and collided with BIGMOMs fist and the whole man fell down to the ground below. Bang! The earth collapsed and several cracks of more than ten meters in length appeared. This scene also made the BIGMOM Pirates feel great! But almost as BIGMOM swooped down from the air and was about to charge into Ross again, Ross, who is trapped in the earth, jumps out from the crack. Between his palms, the strange vortex has disappeared. Although I have done it once before, the difficulty of doing it in practice is different from that of a Battle. Ross stood on the ruins and looked at BIGMOM in the sky. There was no panic in his eyes. There was only calm, like a silent pool. He opened his palm. In the palm of his hand, there is a little black ball floating. Its not appropriate to call it a ball, because no matter which direction one looks it from, it looks more like a deep vortex. It is impossible to describe it by the round on the paper, and difficult to describe it by the three-dimensional ball, because there is no concept of space above it and space is distorted into an incomprehensible form. The only thing that can be perceived is that. There is only chaos. Looking at the BIGMOM rushing towards him, Ross opened his hand and gently stepped back and retreated to a few hundred meters. Ho BIGMOMs mouth made a weird sound, as if instinctively aware of the danger, and also changed direction in an instant to avoid the floating black ball and continue to charge into Ross. The next moment, however, Ross raised his hand, touched his middle finger with his thumb, and crossed his index finger in a staggered gesture. Transfer. With the Distortion of the surrounding space, the whole person appears inexplicably hundreds of meters away, in front of the black ball! Ho! Ho! BIGMOM made a frantic noise as if she was about to wake up, but it was too late to do anything else. After the overdraft force moved BIGMOM back to the spot, Ross opened his clasped thumb and forefinger silently, his eyes calm, and softly uttered a word. Annihilation. His voice fell. The black ball in front of BIGMOM Suddenly broke! Chapter 295 BIGMOM’s Death Kch! A sound similar to a glass being shattered sounded. There was a white crack in the middle of the black ball like a deep whirlpool, which spread to the whole black ball in a flash. Bang! A smudge of white light instantly covers the entire sky. It was as if the nuclear bomb had exploded here or as if a star had collapsed here, the bright white light forced everyone to close their eyes, unable to look at it so that the whole heaven and earth seems to turn into a white world, that white light enveloped the whole cake island for an instant. There are no waves left. There is only the bright white light. When the white light gradually dissipated, everyone opened their eyes and looked at the center and almost all of them were shocked. They saw that. In the area of thousands of meters around, a huge sinkhole had appeared, and everything inside it disappeared without a trace, as if swallowed by something. There is no trace of being burnt, no trace of an explosion and everything in that pothole had simply disappeared in the void, everything is annihilated! At the center. The figure of BIGMOM appeared there and it did not disappear. No attack can make the powerful body of a Yonk (Four Emperors) disappear. However, BIGMOMs body is now broken, and there is no intact area in her whole body. In many places, there is only an exposed skeleton. There is no blood. It was a body that looked completely wilted, and all the blood inside it was drained, it was annihilated with the black ball that exploded, leaving only a few remains. Thousands of meters away, at the edge of the sinkhole, Ross was standing there looking a little pale, but there was no scar on his body, or the scars have already recovered. The range of attack is still a little larger. Looking at the remains of BIGMOM, Ross murmured. The release of the technique Annihilation is basically to use all his power of distortion to the limit, and then move BIGMOM back to his original place. By the time the move happened, the black ball is already overloaded. He himself has not completely exited the core area, but he was still a good distance away to retreat safely. Moreover, And the power of distortion can cancel out the Annihilation, so although he was affected, he didnt end up in a miserable situation. What is it to be killed by your own tricks? He who loses his reason is doomed to perish. Ross straightened up and looked at BIGMOMs body, his eyes slowly opening. If they were in a sensible situation, no other Yonk (Four Emperors) will give him such a long time to use Annihilate, nor will they give him the chance to move back. But BIGMOM lost her rationality and she didnt take this into account. Bounty of 1.9 billion Berries, Yonk (Four Emperors) BIGMOM, Charlotte Linlin, has been hunted, rewards 150 Talent Proficiency Points, 2 Free Talent Points. The systematic synthetic tone, which comes late and rings in Rosss ears without any emotion, offers him the prize of hunting the Yonk (Four Emperors), far more than any previous round of hunting. Hu. Ross closed his eyes slightly, slowly recovering his consumed stamina, and the condition hed just been struck into by the aftermath of his own Annihilation. BIGMOMs physical wreckage can no longer stand still, so it falls in the muddy soil and falls to the bottom of the crater. At the same time. On the entire cake island, all of the Homies made by the Soul-Soul Fruit, lost consciousness, lost their lives and regained their ordinariness. Homies are The people of the BIGMOM Pirates were still in the dark and dazed until they found the Homies chess soldiers around them all closed their eyes and lost their vitality, and they finally woke up. After they woke up, their faces were filled with unbelievableness. Homies have all disappeared, which means that the ability of Soul-Soul Fruit has come undone, which means that one of the Five Emperors, BIGMOM is dead! No not like this Someone shook his head and stepped back with an unacceptable expression on his face as if he wanted to laugh but he couldnt feel any smile on his face. How can Mother be defeated, impossible, this is not true, Katakuri Sama, please say that this is not true! Katakuris expression, as early as the white light covered the island, had no warmth at all and his face is filled with silences that have never been seen before. Because of the interference of Ross and BIGMOMs Haki, and because the distance was too far, he couldnt foresee the future there, but at the moment when the white light appeared, he knows that it is over. He could guess that Ross was preparing a strong attack. However, BIGMOM in that state didnt have any sense and didnt try to deal with it. He was so far away that it was too late for him to even think about involving himself. Besides, he couldnt force his way through Shiliew of The Rain. BIGMOM Pirates are over. Katakuris hand with the weapon slowed, and his eyelids eventually drooped. Rosss strength is good enough to suppress BIGMOM, and Rosss Battle experience and his strength are the limits in Katakuris eyes. Impeccable Battle. Under the circumstances that the battle power is strong, the entire battle became well-organized, and Ross was able to sharply capture all the flaws of BIGMOM. For BIGMOM that has lost her sensibility, he has also quickly found a way to deal with it. Not bad. BIGMOM is it dead? At the edge of the island, Morgan boarded a special aircraft, pulled by countless seabirds, and flew in the air outside cake Island, looking at the scene from afar. He slowly lowered the telescope, and the shocking color in his eyes was hard to fade. That was BIGMOM! After the Great Age of Pirates started, she is the king who ruled the New World for nearly two decades! He thought that this battle may be won by the Ghost Hand Pirates because he has already known that it is Ghost Hand Pirates style, but he did not expect that BIGMOM would die here. The Emperor has fallen! He cant imagine what kind of waves will be set off in the sea tomorrow, and how the whole world will be impacted by this news. Its over. Fujitora looked far away from the field, and his Observation Haki found that BIGMOM was no longer alive. He spoke in a low voice, but his heart was full of ups and downs. Hes much faster than I thought. Shiliew of the Rain sipped the cigar and turns the edge of his second-generation ghostly sword and stabs it into the ground to hide the fluctuations in his heart. No one can calm down. Even they, Ghost Hand Pirates, cant calm down. Especially for Laffitte, Trafalgar Law and other people who have followed Ross for a long time, they have a faintly unreal feeling. Was BIGMOM killed like this? The best deal of my life Ficheux Erman whispered. Once upon a time, Ross said to him that he didnt care about overturning the sea, but now Ross really killed a Yonk (Four Emperors) in her own territory. He smiled faintly, his eyes were filled with self-confidence and there was a smirk on his face which was infinitely magnified at this moment. If someone now asks him if he regrets joining the Ghost Hand Pirates, his answer must be regret a fart! CHAPTER 296 CHASING DOWN Since BIGMOM is finished After Shiliew of the Rain spat out a mouthful of smoke, his eyes slowly moved towards the BIGMOM Pirates gathered in the distance, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, as he said: We should also start killing. As Shiliews voice fell, Trafalgar Law and others gradually regained their gaze and turned to look at the many pirates of the BIGMOM Pirate group. Trafalgar Law picked up the Kikoku Blade and said, Except for keeping Katakuri and Pudding alive, the rest need to be dealt with. This is the established plan that Ross issued before the battle. Katakuri and Pudding must be captured alive, they can try to capture other Commanders alive but it is also not a problem if they died because they need to be merciless in a battle. Captain has finished his battle, we cant hold Captain back too much. Ficheux Erman gently smiled and his figure suddenly became a residual image as he suddenly charged towards the members of the BIGMOM Pirates and a coin shot out of his fingers with fast speed, the coin broke the sound barrier instantly and its impact power was similar to the power of a heavy cannonball. At the moment when Ficheux Erman started, Shiliew of the Rain and others also moved together and rushed towards the BIGMOM Pirates one after another. In terms of momentum, they were already rolling over. Seeing Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman and other people rushing over, Katakuris eyes flashed with a trace of light. He looked at his side and saw that his brothers and sisters were terrified, he regained his gain and said: Go! Its impossible to win. Get out of here! Katakuris voice slashed through the panic and the BIGMOM Pirates regained clarity and a little morale. Even if they have to run out of here and they dont know where to find a place to live, they cant just die here. Its better to be alive than dead. Retreat! Perospero also bit his teeth and waved the candy cane in his hand, indicating that everyone would retreat to the west coast, where they had their fleet and ship. The entire BIGMOM Pirates scattered and ran, they desperately ran in the direction of the West shore. They dont have any intention to fight a war now, they only have the desire to survive. But. Someone did not escape. When everyone turned around and ran away, he stood in the same place and looked at Ficheux Erman and other people who were rushing over with a deep look in his eyes, blocking the pile of coins that Ficheux Erman threw. Katakuri Perospero, who was also about to leave, glanced at Katakuri. Katakuri didnt look back and said in a calm tone: It is impossible for everyone to withdraw from here. Someone must stay to occupy their time take care of our younger siblings, Brother Peros. Perospero was silent for a second, and his steps stopped as he finally replied: I know. After saying this sentence, he also withdrew with everyone. At this time, someone also found that Katakuri had stayed behind. Brother Katakuri! Why The people paused, and although they had already thought of the reason, they still showed an unacceptable expression on their faces. Lets Go! Dont let Katakuri sacrifice his life in vain! Perospero bit his teeth and yelled at them. It was at this time that Shiliew of the Rain and others swarmed and instantly drowned Katakuris figure. Even though Katakuri was strong and even had the Future Prediction Kenbonshoku (Observation), it was still impossible for him to outdo Shiliew of the Rain and others in front of him who were as strong as him. Buzz!! Fujitoras gravity holds Katakuri down in the same place and Ficheux Erman kicks Katakuri upside down, and Shiliew of the Rain follows and created a frost sword that freezes Katakuris figure. The ice seal did not last long, and there was a trace of cracking at the next moment. Go after the others. Fujitora spoke as he walked towards Katakuri while holding his sword. Shiliew of the Rain and others did not question Fujitoras strength. They did not bother Katakuri and forced their way towards the fleeing BIGMOM Pirates. Kch! Katakuri broke free from the ice with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth, but his face still showed a faint solitude. He poured the power of his awakening Devil Fruit into the earth. Nagare Mochi(Flowing Mochi)! Purr Purr! Under the awakening ability of Mochi Mochi fruit, the land of 100 meters suddenly turns into a creeping sticky mochi, which entangles Shiliew and other people, and at the same time, it turns into a wave sweeping down towards them. Hajrudin turned into a thunderbolt and disappeared in an instant. Shiliew of the Rain snorted and raised his hand and smashed it out, tearing the earth and freezing the mochi. But. It was a move that eventually blocked everyone but Hajrudin. Buzz!! Fujitoras gravity blade tapped the ground, and a horrible gravitational pressure pressed against Katakuris body, sinking his entire body. Katakuri is willing to stay and try to block all of them. Fujitora appreciates this courage and determination, but it cant erase the things that this Pirate group had done. With more than 1 billion bounty on his head, Katakuri has destroyed countless city towns and killed countless innocent people. Its only human nature to stand up for a brother or sister, but I also have my pride and Im not going to let you do whatever you want. Fujitora rushed towards Katakuri. Katakuri looked at Fujitora and sighed in his heart, knowing that it is almost impossible for him to circumvent around Fujitora. I can only do so much. He spoke as he look towards Perospero and others, and then suddenly made a fist and condensed a huge mochi fist, and smashed it toward Fujitora. Bang! Fujitora crossed his sword across his body and held it in place by gravity, unable to swing or move forward. Even though Katakuri has the ability of Future Prediction, there was still a gap between him and Fujitora in terms of strength. Even if he is desperate and breaks out with all of his power and leads himself to a near-death rampage, even then it was still impossible for him to level the gap between them and he would be suppressed by Fujitora. Crackling! Hajrudin was not deterred by Katakuris Mochi waves and rushed towards the fleeing pirates with the maximum speed of Rumble-Rumble Fruit. After a few flashes, he caught up with the BIGMOM Pirates. Thunder Punishment! A huge thunder stream with tens of meters in diameter condensed out of his huge Giant body and was thrown towards the BIGMOM Pirates. Aware of the terrible power of the Thunder stream, many people in the BIGMOM Pirates were frightened and panicked. Hard Biscuit Shield! In desperation, Cracker turned back and waved his arms. The biscuits gathered in the void, forming a shield with Armament Haki attached to it and stopped Hajrudins strike. CHAPTER 297 THE WORLD SHOCKS After blocking Hajrudins blow, Cracker tried to continue to escape, but Hajrudin flashed into the crowd and his entire body turned into thunder. The terrifying thunder stream instantly spread in all directions and instantly enveloped more than ten people. 200 Million Volt Bari: Boruto Vr(Electrical Discharge)! Under Hajrudins wide-range attack, seven or eight people were instantly stunned by Thunder. The rest of the people only barely resisted with Armament Haki and their hairs were burnt. Bastard When Cracker saw it, he couldnt help but bite his teeth and slashed his sword at Hajrudin. Roll! Pretzels! The blade attached with black Armament Haki suddenly spun up and slammed through Hajrudin. Crackling! Thunder and sword blade interweave and burst and flash spread in Void. Hajrudin ignores other pirates and stared at Cracker, he raised his hand and condensed a thunder hatchet, he swung it towards Cracker with a strong wave. Bang Long! With a bang, cracker leaped out of the intertwined thunder arc, trying to fight and retreat, but Hajrudins huge body was so flexible that it followed him in a flash. Under the onslaught of Hajrudin, Cracker retreated several times. In the face of Rumble-Rumble Fruits power and speed, Cracker has no chance of escaping, he is completely stuck in place and has to concentrate on dealing with Hajrudin. At the same time. Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman and others also arrived, chasing after the BIGMOM Pirates and the BIGMOM Pirates fought back. Just when the frontal offensive and defensive battle turned into a unilateral pursuit battle and the war began to continue, Gerd, who had been staying on the ship, boarded the cake island and headed for the sinkhole. Captain! Looking at Ross standing on the edge of a sinkhole, leaning against the Cursed Blade Murasame, she took a deep breath and quickly used Heal-Heal Fruit. A ball of light emerged from her chest, fluttering in the air and quickly falling on Rosss body, it wrapped Rosss body and quickly healed some of his lost stamina. Huh You came at the right time. With the recovery of Heal-Heal Fruit, Ross finally breathed out a sigh of relief. Although the aftermath of Annihilation was blocked by himself and his self-healing ability healed almost all of his injuries, but the amount of Stamina he spent coupled with the overload ability caused the muscles inside his body to fall in fatigue state. Because of this, he did not go after the remaining members of the BIGMOM Pirates. It has become somewhat difficult for him to exert much strength in this short period of time and it will take some time for him to recover. But. With Gerds her Heal-Heal Fruit ability, this problem is not so big, although he will not be restored to a good state at once but he will be able to eliminate his fatigue in a short time and restore a little of stamina is no problem. Taking a deep breath, Ross slowly calmed down his breathing and recovered a lot after Gerds healing ability. He stepped out of the sinkhole. After gently nodding at Gerd, he took another step. Whiz! Space was suddenly pulled, and with one step down, he was directly on the battlefield where Fujitora and Katakuri were engaged. At the moment, Katakuri had been completely outmaneuvered by Fujitora. Sword of Distortion! Rosss eyes were calm and he swung his sword at Katakuris back. Katakuri had already foreseen Rosss attack in advance, he couldnt do anything about it. Instead, he was forced to growl and stop Fujitoras blow with all his might, while leaning over to avoid Rosss attack. But Rosss attack is not focused on a point but on the entire front area. Oh! Katakuri was suddenly hit by the power of distortion and turned into a thick mochi, which rolled out towards the distance, with blood spilling from the corners of his mouth. Fujitora slightly looked up and didnt give up the opportunity, and immediately took out his blade. Buzz!! Katakuri could not escape from the sudden explosion of the gravity blade. The whole man and the earth around him collapsed into the ground and blood rolled out from his mouth. Ross saw that Katakuri was seriously injured and Fujitoras presence is enough to hold Katakuri down. He turned his head and looked at the other battlefield. After stepping out, he suddenly came to the rear of Cracker. Huh?! Cracker is fighting against Hajrudin and is actively trying to resist Hajrudins attack. He has seen Ross raid Katakuri and cooperate with Fujitora to hit Katakuri badly. When he realizes that Ross has disappeared again, he already had a bad feeling in his heart. Whiz! Rosss foot slammed into Crackers back. Cracker gritted his teeth, he resisted Hajrudin in front and launched the Biscuit Devil Fruit ability, turning a biscuit on the back to shield and inspiring Armament Haki to the limit. But. Under Rosss feet, his Armament Haki, which was used to the limit, was still unable to resist. The whole cookie shield failed to hold for even half a second and was kicked to pieces by Ross. Breaking the shield, Ross hitsCrackers back. Boom! Cracker flew out in front of him and slammed into Hajrudin, vomiting blood from his mouth. At the same time, he roars wildly and took advantage of this situation to swung his sword at Hajrudin. Hajrudin held the Thunders axe in both hands and his face sank a little. Instead of giving way, he roared and chopped up against Crackers sword. Bang! The thunder arc exploded and spread across all directions. Hajrudin stumbled back a step, while Cracker was stiffly restrained. His body fell to the ground, numb and stiff under the thunder. Sneer! Ross stabbed through Crackers chest. Bounty of 860 million Berries, Cracker, has been hunted, rewards, 60 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Points. He has acquired the first kill reward for 800 million to 1.2 billion bounty pirates in Impel Down, this is the second time that he had killed a pirate at this level and he did not expect to get 1 Free Talent Points, it seems that this time his luck was good. In addition to the reward of killing BIGMOM, this hunting operation has already netted him 3 Free Talent Points, plus the 3 points that he had accumulated before, he now has 6 Free Talent Points. As for Talent Proficiency Points, there are already 210 points! Hoo Crossing the space several times in a row, hitting Katakuri and killing Cracker, Rosss stamina that was recovered was finally bottomed out again and his whole body was in a state of exhaustion. He glanced at the battlefield of Shiliew of the Rain and the BIGMOM Pirates, which was already far away. He finally shook his head and did not force himself to rush. He will call it a day here. Ross waved at Gerd not far away, and Gerd walked over. He jumped to Gerds chest and leaned back, saying: Take me back to the ship. His clothes and cloak have been broken in the aftermath of Annihilation. He now has no clothes on his body. With the power of Light Distortion, he has made black cloak-like things to cover himself. The touch of the skin makes Gerd realize that Rosss current state is not the same as it looks. However, as a giant, there is no shame in treating those of the Dwarves race like Ross. She smiles and responds immediately and walks towards the coast. If the Battle of Katakuri and others was still in suspense when BIGMOM was defeated, then the Battle was completely out of suspense when Ross attacked Katakuri badly and killed Cracker again, Out of Four Sweet Commanders, One was killed while the other was seriously injured. Great Age of Pirates, Eighteen years. One of the Five Emperors BIGMOM Charlotte Linlin Died in the confrontation between the BIGMOM Pirates and the Ghost Hand Pirates. After a few days, the news spread throughout the sea, setting off a huge wave that swept the whole world, and after hearing this news, countless people were silent as they were shocked to their core! From the rise of the Ghost Hand Pirates to become the Five Emperors, after breaking the pattern of the Yonk (Four Emperors), everyone knew that New World is bound to fall into chaos, and may even have fallen. But. No one thought that the era of the Five Emperors which lasted for less than two years, and there was a fallen emperor, and the BIGMOM Pirates were shattered! New World. Returned to the Yonk (Four Emperors) era again! CHAPTER 298 ASSIGNMEN Cake Island. The original City Fort, which was big enough to rival a City town, and the countless buildings on the island, have been turned into ruins, and the entire island has almost been destroyed. In the ruins, Gerd and others set up a temporary camp. In the follow-up pursuit of the BIGMOM Pirates, Chef Streusen was attacked by Hajrudin and Ficheux Erman and was beaten to death and the remaining cadres were also seriously injured. BIGMOM herself and the Sweet Commander Cracker died on the battlefield, Katakuri and Charlotte Pudding were successfully captured, and the remaining Sweet Commanders Smoothie and Snack, who were heavily wounded, eventually fled the Cake Island and are now missing. They escaped? In the makeshift camp, Ross looked at Ficheux Erman and others who had failed to catch up with Smoothie and Snack, with his hands on his chin and said a quiet tone. Ficheux Erman and others look somewhat ashamed. They were supposed to be able to eliminate Smoothie, Snack and other remaining pirates. However, due to the special nature of Totto Landsea, when they reach the sea, their ship got stuck in the candy made by Perospero and they were unable to pursue them. And. During this period, there were a large number of other reinforcements that came from other islands to block them. Although these small soldiers werent a threat to them at all but because they were on the sea and their numbers were large, by the time they dealt with the resistance, Smoothie and others have already escaped and they couldnt chase after them. Ross didnt talk, and no one dared to speak in the field. Ross, who killed BIGMOM in front of them, is no longer someone who they would dare to stand against. Its a big joke to even think about it. When it comes to important things, even if Fuceux Erman had to worry about it. Forget it. Rosss voice finally broke the silent atmosphere. He lightly shook his head and stood up. The two remaining Sweet Commanders are running so he will let them run. Anyway, BIGMOM is dead and just two of them wont be able to make any big waves. Ross took a step to the top of a relatively high building wreck nearby, overlooking the whole cake Island, he looked at the distant coastal sky with a profound vision: From today onward, Totto Landsea is ours. Seeing that Ross is no longer focused on the running two Sweet Commanders, Ficheux Erman and others were relieved. At the same time, hearing Rosss words, everyones emotions were surging. Why is the pirate on the top of the New World called an Emperor? Because they have their own territory and they ruled an area of the sea like an Emperor, all the islands and countries in their territories belong to them. Now BIGMOM has been killed in battle, and more than half of the BIGMOM Pirates have been killed or injured, which means that they have completely quit the stage of the New World and they wont be able to return. However, this piece of land that once belonged to BIGMOM Pirates has changed its ownership and become their territory. In the future, we will be true Yonk (Four Emperors). Robin stood under the ruins where Ross stood and said with a soft voice. There was nothing wrong with her wording. From the moment BIGMOM died, the Five Emperors changed back to Yonk (Four Emperors). Seven years. It took them seven years from West Blue to reach here today. This was a long journey, but for this sea, it is an incredible rise, from being nameless pirates to the Emperor who ruled the New World! Whitebeard was already a strong pirate before the Great Age of Pirates and after that, he became a pirate that stood at the top of this World, BIGMOM and Hundred Beast Kaido were also pirates before the Great Age of Pirates and they were a terrifying figure in the world. As for Red Hair Shanks, he was once a member of the Roger Pirate. Whereas. Ross belongs to a new generation of pirates, he is from a different era then Whitebeard and Kaido. From the moment when Ross annihilated the BIGMOM Pirates, it also became evident that the era of Whitebeard and others is about to die, and the Grand Line will usher in a new generation of rulers! Captain Ross, what about this cake island? Laffitte came to the ruin and looked around and headed for Ross. The Cake Island is the main island of Totto Landsea and the former base of the BIGMOM Pirates, but it has now been destroyed. If they were to rebuild it, it will take a lot of time. Rebuild. Ross thought a little, and responded calmly: But this will not be our core territory, our core territory will be in the sky. Now that he has the Totto Landsea as his territory, Sky Island can also move here. With Rosss current ability, its not difficult for him to push Birkas Sky island to the top of the Cake Island, not to mention that Fujitora can help with that hard work. Understood. Laffitte was a little shocked and immediately understood the meaning behind Rosss words and agreed with a slight smile on his face. The Birka island is indeed a place that is suitable as a core territory. Their Ghost Hand Pirates does have the ability to arbitrarily go up and down the island. Shiliew will be in charge of dismantling the flags and destroying all the remnants of BIGMOM Pirates, Ross spoke to Shiliew of the Rain. There must be remnants of the BIGMOM Pirates on other islands in the Totto Landsea. As for the remnants of the BIGMOM Pirates, Ross had no intention of taking them in or letting them go. He has no prisons and other things to held them here. So he will simply execute them all. The job of executioner was left to Shiliew of the Rain. Yes. Shiliew of the Rain was polishing the Second Generation Ghost Blade. When he heard Rosss words, he grinned and was satisfy as he gets to kill more pirates. Ross glanced at Shiliew of the Rain and reminded him calmly: Dont move against the Innocent civilians, dont let me be an Emperor without any people in my territory. Understood. Shiliew of the Rain slightly closed his eyes. Ross turned to look at Laffitte and said: We have acquired all the territory of the BIGMOM Pirates and after Shiliew cleaned the remnant of the BIGMOM Pirates, you will handle the people and calm them down. Laffitte, who has hypnosis and brainwashing ability, will have no problem doing his mission Shilew cleaned the remanent of BIGMOM Pirates. New World is the sea ruled by Yonk (Four Emperors). People living in the New World know what to do in order to survive. Ross is not worried about disobedience. After receiving the monitoring work, I will hand it over to you, Isshou. Ross turned to look at Fujitora and said: The BIGMOM Pirates are over, maybe there are some dark forces and pirates who want to fish in troubled water. If anyone dared to invade Totto Landsea, you know what to do with them. Totto Landsea has been ruled by the BIGMOM Pirates for many years. Under their constant looting, there is a lot of wealth accumulated here. Now that the BIGMOM Pirates are finished, someone might take advantage of this opportunity to go to the edge of the island to profit themselves, he will not allow that to happen. Whoever dared to do it, they would need to be reminded that the Ghost Hand Pirates are not friendly. I will do my best. Fujitora nods slowly as he holds the sword. The mission is exactly what he is willing to do as it is equivalent to maintaining the security of Totto Landsea and he has no problems with it. CHAPTER 299 DEGREE OF HARDNESS The missions have been allocated separately for suppression, appeasement, and maintenance. Leaving Ficheux Erman aside, Ross directly turned to Trafalgar Law and said after thinking a little: What do you think of my plan to build this Cake Island into a special base to be responsible for the custody of pirates and the research of your mind replacement surgery? Besides Katakuri and Pudding, they also captured Hot-Hot Fruit Oven and some other little cadres of BIBMOM Pirates. Ross does not intend to build the Cake Island into a resident Citytown but intends to make it into a special base. Except for the High Level cadres such as Shiliew of the Rain, others are prohibited from entering without permission. It works. Trafalgar laws eyes flickered a little as he nodded seriously. The construction of a special City base here to imprison Katakuri and others and allow him to conduct secret experiments gave him a very high status and authority. Then do it. Ross nodded, saying: Make the Giant Corps assist you in the process and build a temporary base first to lock people who were caught, you can subsequently build slowly again after that. Trafalgar Law nodded. At this time, all the people present basically got their mission and only Ficheux Erman was left. It was a little embarrassing situation. Ross finally turned his head to him and looked at him. You go to pick up Kaku and Jabra. You used to be Pirate Hunter. You must have contacts with the Underground forces. Its up to you to handle the transition between the BIBMOM Pirates and the Underground forces. In addition, the intelligence organization needs to be expanded, and you will be responsible for it. The Ghost Hand Pirates intelligence network was formerly sufficient but now that they rule the Totto Landsea, their Intelligence network is far from sufficient and needs to be expanded. The Underground forces that were originally subject to BIBMOM Pirates were also handed over to Ficheux Erman. No problem. Ficheux Erman responded immediately. He naturally had contact with many Underground Forces. Although it was a bit marginal to build the intelligence network or something, he took into account the two missions at the same time. His position was still in the original position in the Ghost Hand Pirates. After assigning the missions to each of them, Ross went to Robins side and said, Although this island has been made a little ridiculous, there is more than one Poneglyph stone here collected by the BIBMOM Pirates. I will take you to look for them. If he remembers it correctly, the Poneglyph stone was in the Cakecity Castle, but the Cakecity Castle was as big as a City town and now it had collapsed. It was not easy to find the Poneglyph stone that could not be found by Observation Haki. Robin didnt expect the BIBMOM Pirates to have more than one Poneglyph stone, which made her a little surprised, she followed Ross to the ruins of the Cake City Fort. Crash! Crash! Ross presses his hand to the ruins of the Cake-City Castle and waves, and the ruins come to life in a distortion of power. A moment later, when Ross waved a large piece of debris away from the City wall, a red corner was exposed beneath it. With a flash of his eye and with another wave of his hand, another piece of debris was broken and floated away, finally revealing the original appearance of a huge Red Poneglyph stone tablet. Red Robin looked at the Red Poneglyph stone tablet and her black eyes flashed with a glimmer of light as she said: Is this Road Poneglyph? Except for Road Poneglyph, the rest are not red. Ross walked over to the red Poneglyph stone and gently stroked it. There are four Road Poneglyph, each pointing to four different locations in the New World, connecting four points into a quadrilateral, and the intersection of the two diagonal lines will reveal the position of Raftel. Ross was not interested in what was on the Poneglyph stone structure, even if it was a Road Poneglyph that led to Raftel. The only thing he was interested in was the sturdiness of the Poneglyph stone. For World Government, the Poneglyph stone monuments are undoubtedly a huge threat. If they can destroy a Road Poneglyph or destroy a few other Poneglyphs, the hidden history from 800 years ago will be completely buried. But. Even with the World Governments ability, they cant destroy the Poneglyph stone monument! Ross has also encountered Poneglyph stone monuments several times. He has also tried to use his ability to hit Poneglyph to measure its hardness. The result was that the Poneglyph was completely unharmed. The Poneglyph stone is made of unknown material but it is stronger than Seastone and as if it has an extremely special ability, it is even immune to the destruction of the Devil Fruit ability! Buzz!! Ross presses on the corner of the Poneglyph stone monument and the power of distortion rushed towards the Poneglyph stone monument, but in the moment of touch, it is like a blow on cotton, which is completely useless. The Poneglyph stone monument is not affected at all. The first time Ross tried it, he did not have much strength, but now he is already standing on the peak of this sea and he is still unable to destroy the Poneglyph stone monument! Armed! Without giving up, Rosss right hand five fingers clenched into a fist and dark Armament Haki was attached to his fist, forming a blackened hardening and he punched the stone. Bang! There was a Bang, and where Rosss fist fell, it was like a drop of water falling into the calm lake. The Red Poneglyph monument rolled up to the distance under Rosss fist and stopped after rolling to dozens of meters. Robin, who was carefully studying the Poneglyph stele looked at Ross silently. Sure enough, it cant be destroyed. Ross walked to the side of the Poneglyph stone and observed it for some time. He didnt see any traces left by his punch. It seems that even with his current strength, he still cant break the Poneglyph stone. The material of this Poneglyph stone tablet seems to have two special properties, one of which is capable of resisting Devil Fruit and the other is able to resist extremely strong physical powers. It was like a metal in Rosss memory which could absorb physical impact, Vibranium. Robin came over and looked at the Poneglyph and said: Because it cant be destroyed, the ancient people used it to log the history. Its not that. Ross stood up and said: It cant be destroyed because the destructive power is not enough. If my strength is increased by two or three times or even ten times, then even this solid thing can be destroyed. Robin did not look at Ross. She fingered the words on the Poneglyph stone tablet and studied it thoughtfully. Ross wasnt interested in ancient writing. He walked aside and smashed the ruins again, revealing another Paneglyph stone in ordinary color. Jinbe has not sent the third piece of Poneglyph as he would do in the future. There are only two pieces of Poneglyph in BIGMOMs hand, one is the Road Poneglyph and the other is Information Poneglyph. You should be more interested in the contents of this piece than that one. Ross said to Robin who was still working on the Red Road Poneglyph. He has encountered an Information Poneglyph along the way and now this is the second. There are nine pieces of Information Poneglyph and they are Robins goal. She wants to know the Void History and they are the thing that can tell her everything. CHAPTER 300 FALLING ISLAND Robin was not in a hurry. After quietly studying the Red Poneglyph, she went to the Information Poneglyph and seriously studied it. As Robin was studying the Information Poneglyph, the sky outside suddenly became dark, and the air seemed to become somewhat depressed. What is that? Trafalgar Law, who was clearing away the debris, looked up into the sky with a startled look on his face. He saw a huge black shadow falling towards him. As the shadow got closer and closer, its shape becomes clearer, it is a huge island similar to the Cake Island! Hey, whats the matter? Are you doing it? Shiliew of the Rains pupil narrowed slightly as he turned to look at the nearby Fujitora. Fujitora looked up at the sky, and his Observation Haki perceived the huge island that was falling towards them, and his face became grim. No, we are in trouble. The island has not yet fallen, and a terrifying oppression has shrouded the entire Cake Island, leaving Ficheux Erman and others with surprised expressions on their faces. An island is falling from the sky! With their strength, even destroying the Cake City Fort which is as big as any Citytown will take a lot of effort, not to mention destroying an island. This is an island thats going to fall down and flatten everything on the cake island! Ross looked up at the sky and saw the island that was getting closer and closer with the huge wind pressure and heavy momentum, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Even if it is Fujitora, there is no way for him to make an island fall from the sky. There is only one person who can do this. That is Golden Lion Shiki! You are looking for death, Golden Lion. There was no hiding the murderous intent in Rosss bleak eyes. He once encountered Golden Lion Shiki and fought a bloody battle against him in which both sides lost. He still remembered it, but the Golden Lion was not easy to find as he continues to float in the sky and he couldnt pinpoint his location. Unexpectedly, today, after defeating the BIGMOM Pirates, Golden Lion dropped an island on the top of the cake island. As the island was getting closer, a burst of manic and unspeakable laughter sounded and because the entire sky was covered by the island, it was impossible to see where Golden Lion Shiki was. Jihahahaha! I didnt expect that the little devil I met will one day really replace a Yonk (Four Emperors), I am giving you a big gift today, take it well! If Golden Lion had done this to Ross just after he took on BIGMOM Pirates and killed BIGMOM, the consequences would have been unthinkable. At that time, it was impossible for Ross to have the strength to resist an island falling from a height of 10,000 meters. Even if he could survive, others would surely be killed and injured. Hearing the maddening laughter of Golden Lion, the killing intent on Rosss face slowly subsided and calm was restored in his eyes. Whiz! Rosss figure flickers as he charged towards the bottom of the island. Distortion Gravity Distortions ability was instantly used by him. He held the bottom of the huge island with one hand and tried to hold the island in midair. But this island is a large island, and he didnt know how high this island fell down from. Its potential is the extent of destroying the sky and destroying the earth. Even though Ross inspired the power of distortion to the limit but it only slowed down the decline of the island. Its Golden Lion. Laffitte, Trafalgar Law, and others have already guessed what had happened to the island, and the voice of Golden Lion just made them determine that this situation was created by Golden Lion Shiki. However, faced with the island that fell from the sky, they could do nothing. Whiz! Fujitoras figure rose towards the sky, his staff blade pulled out and plunged into the bottom of the island. The power of gravity fruit was aroused and applied to the whole island. In terms of pure attack power, although he is inferior to Ross but in terms of gravity control, he is a Gravity fruit ability user and he is naturally more proficient in it than Ross. Buzz!! Under the influence of the Gravity Fruit, the island, which was ready to ravage the earth, once again began to turbulent and its falling momentum weakened sharply but it still continued to fall. With the strength of Ross and Fujitora, they are enough to support a falling Island, but this island fell from a great height and its acceleration power is not so simple, it has enough power to destroy anything in its path! If the Golden Lion went to the Holy Land Mariejois or the Marine Headquarters and dropped a few islands every once in a while then even if there are many powerful masters in the Holy Land and the Marine Headquarters, they would still be beaten and broken. No one can survive the crash of an island. And thats where the terrifying abilities of the Float-Float Fruit lies! Golden LionShiki Shiliews face was sullen, he remembered the name, Golden Lion. When Golden Lion escaped from Impel Down, he was just a Jailer and had just entered the Impel Down. In the face of this huge island, Shiliew of the Rain did not know how to deal with it. Finally, he pulled out his sword and struck the bottom of the island with the back of his blade, which stopped the falling trend of the island once again. Trouble. Ficheux Erman kneaded his brows in a headache as his Speed ??Fruit couldnt seem to help in this situation, but he was forced to pick up rocks and keep throwing them at the falling island. Each stone is like a heavy cannonball and produces loud sounds as they hit the bottom of the island, causing the sinking of the island to continue to slow down again. Now. The falling island is less than two hundred meters away from the Cake island! Ah! The giant of the sand, Road, roared with his arms outstretched, and the sand surged all over the sky. He created two huge arms of sand and held them to the bottom of the island. Hajrudin turned into a thunder and flew to the bottom of the island, with his arms put on the bottom of the island, he also worked with Ross and Fujitora and others to support the island. Mil Fleur: Gigantesco Mano(Thousand Flower: Gigantic Hand)! Seeing that the island was getting closer and closer and the speed of falling is getting slower and slower. Robin takes a deep breath and instantly transforms countless arms, forming two huge arms to the bottom of the island. Crash! The sand is being constantly broken. When the island continued to fall and reached a distance of tens of meters, Metal Giant and the Iron Wall giants successively shot and held up their arms against the bottom of the island. Under the joint efforts of the people, the falling island was finally contained and float above the cake island! The falling momentum was finally wiped out and everyone was relieved. After the devastating fall dissipated, Ross and Fujitora alone could hold the island in midair. Call Finally, he managed to hold the bottom of the island in one hand. He looked at the Fujitora nearby and said, Lets put it to the north sea. Good. Fujitora replied quietly, and together with Ross, they moved the island to the north shore of cake island and lowered it, merging it with cake island. When the waves subsided, Ross looked up to the sky, but there was no Golden Lion in sight. Robin. Have the Sky island people keep an eye on the Golden Lions movements and report it to me immediately if they see him. Rosss tone was calm and terrifying at the same time. Golden Lion has already been included on the list of people he wants to kill. No one likes the situation where an island falls on the top of your head from time to time. Fortunately, there was only one, if there had been two islands, the trouble would have been a lot bigger. Chapter 301 Future Prediction The joy of defeating BIGMOM Pirates disappeared completely with the gift from Golden Lion. Is that guys brain back to normal? He really is a hidden danger to us. Ross stood on the island that was dropped by Golden Lion as he looked towards the sky. From Rosss point of view, Golden Lion has brain problems. He ran away from the government and decided to experiment on some mutant beasts that will fight for him but the ability of Float-Float Fruit itself is extremely terrifying countless times than any beasts! With Rosss current strength, he can break up a large island without any problems, but to break a large island that fell from a height of 10,000 meters is a completely different matter! With his current power of distortion, Ross can barely smash apart a large island that falls from a height of 10,000 meters, but the impact alone is enough to cause him instant injury. This is also the reason why he did not destroy the island just now and used Gravity Distortion to put the island on the sea. If Golden Lion had just dropped two islands, Ross would have run away. Besides. Now the Cake Island is in ruins. If any base is built upon Cake Island and then attacked by this kind of attack, it will cause big trouble. The idea of ??getting the Sky Island directly above the Cake Island and using it as a core base seems to be the most correct way. It can effectively prevent the Golden Lion method of attacking them and it must be implemented as soon as possible. He has one of the most broken abilities of One Piece World. Ross thought for a moment and finally sighed. It seems that the ability of Float-Float Fruit doesnt need to be developed by the person who has eaten its Devil Fruit. It is also very easy for that person to float an entire island. This is really a broken ability that cannot be more broken. Its fair to say that giving this ability to someone with a little brain is enough to bring World Government to a crashing halt, not to mention Yonk (Four Emperors). It is no wonder that the World Government caught Golden Lion twice and put him into Impel Down both times. If such Devil Fruit is eaten by someone with a brain who is also an enemy to the World Government, the problem will be too serious. Ross also felt the power of the World Government for the first time. Times are constantly changing, the Rox Pirates Age, the Roger Pirates Age, the Great Age of Pirates, the Yonk (Four Emperors) era but the World Government has been standing there for 800 years without being shaken. Imagine that there are countless metamorphic abilities in this world, and there are countless terrifying characters that can be created using these abilities. Even in that case, the World Government can stand on its feet, and its essence is far from comparable by any force. Strength, influence. Ross shook his fist, feeling the lack of strength. Even though he has been able to destroy a Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirate group, but when facing the World Government, his power is still seriously insufficient, and it is time to enter a period of development. After pondering for a while, Ross thought a little and called out the Talent System. After hunting down BIGMOM and killing a Commanders, he got 210 Talent Proficiency Points, which had not yet been allocated. Agility Enhancement is full With a little hesitation, Ross assigned 40 Talent Proficiency Points to the Agility Enhancement. Buzz !! While the golden light flashed, a strange force runs through Rosss body, stretching his perspective and slowing everything down. This is not the effect of Observation Haki, but after the Agility Enhancement reaches the Maximum Value, Rosss sharpness has greatly improved! Agility Enhancement has reached the Maximum Value, and the Talents in Agility Talent Branch has increased by 50 Proficiency Points. As the Agility Enhancement branch of the large talent reached its Maximum Value, Rosss ear was also filled with an emotionless system sound. The Talent System Interface of the General Department has undergone tremendous changes. Agility Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value) Physical Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value) Spirit Heart: 50 (Mid Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 200 (Maximum Value) Rock: 100 (High-Level Strengthening) Since Spirit Heart is a sub-branch of the Agility department, after Agility Enhancement reaches the Maximum Value, the Spirit Hearts proficiency also increased by 50 points. Spirit Heart Ross recovered from the trance caused by the sharp increase in acuity and looked at the Interface of the General Department, vaguely aware that his perception had changed. He released Observation Haki subconsciously, and looked up. His Observation Haki perceives everything within a few kilometers circle area with him as the center, but this does not seem to be much different from before. No, thats wrong. Ross frowned slightly. He still felt that after Agility Enhancement was raised to Maximum Value, his perception was different from before, and Kenbonshoku (Observation)s perception was also slightly different, but he couldnt point out the specific difference. Subconsciously, Ross thought about it and entered the state of Spirit Heart. Suddenly. The whole world seemed to pause in front of Ross as if time had stood still, everything and everyone had entered a state of stillness and everything was silent. In this silence, Ross saw a seagull passing over his head, and saw a sea breeze blowing, shaking the crown of a large tree a few times. This process lasted about ten seconds. Suddenly. Ross stepped back from that state, dazed, he looked up into the sky just in time to see a seagull passing over his head. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he turned to look at the tree in front of him just in time to see a sea breeze blew through causing the crown of that big tree to shake a few times. This is A look of suspicion flashed through Rosss eyes. He thought about it, and once again entered the state of Spirit Heart. A white butterfly fluttered its wings and flew past his eyes. Zi! A few seconds later, he exited from that state, and the picture in front of him suddenly broke. Just a few seconds later, Ross saw a white butterfly flapping its wings and flew past his eyes with exactly the same picture and the same trajectory. No mistake. Ross took a deep breath and smiled. This is The Future Prediction! After Agility Enhancement reaches Maximum Value and Spirit Heart talent is increased by 50 proficiency points, he finally had the same ability of Future Prediction as Katakuri and Tokikake under the condition of Spirit Heart! Although he can only see the future within ten seconds, theres no doubt that this will be a game-changer in future fights! If BIGMOM had this ability, it would have been extremely difficult for Ross to kill her. If Hundred Beast Kaido had this ability, he would have beaten Ross blue and black in their previous fight. Kenbonshoku (Observation) Extreme, Future Prediction. This is not an ability that can be obtained by simply relying on practice. Even if many people practice this for a lifetime, they may not be able to take their Kenbonshoku (Observation) practice to the level of Future Prediction! Chapter 302 Element Exemption The only drawback is. Kenbonshoku (Observation)s Future Prediction ability can only see a corner of the Future that has not been changed, just like Ross sees a butterfly flying by, but if he catches the butterfly and changes the Future trajectory, the Future of the second half cannot be predicted again. In short, in the long river of time, the Future Prediction ability can only see one of the tributaries and it can not see the endless changes that will occur. Seven seconds. Ross carefully realized for a moment and made sure that he could foresee the future within seven seconds in advance, and the long future could not be seen again after a change is made within that time frame. And as his Kenbonshoku (Observation) continues to improve, this time limit will continue to extend. Whiz! Whiz! When Ross moved under his feet, he suddenly disappeared and appeared tens of meters away in a flash, and then with another flash, he returned to his original position. After Agility Enhancement reached Maximum Value, his physical speed has reached a terrifying level and his reaction and agility can be said to be above than Kizaru! Glint-Glint Fruit is undoubtedly an extremely scary ability in terms of speed, but the movement of this ability is also limited by Kizarus consciousness and reaction speed. After Ross Agility Enhancement reached Maximum Value, he already surpassed Kizaru in short-range speed, and in linear movement and long-distance movement, Ross also had stronger space folding and space jumping ability to counter the speed of light. It took 40 Talent Proficiency Points to bring Agility Enhancement to Maximum Value, and Ross still has 170 Talent Proficiency Points. After a little thought, he allocated 70 points to Distortion Fruit. Buzz !! After the golden light flashed, Ross could feel the power of distortion in his body strengthened again and this power has reached to the point where it is no difference from Whitebeards frontal distortion attack at his peak. Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 820 Marine s Rokushikis Soru: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) Marine s Rokushiki: 0 Gepp (Moonwalk) of Marine s Rokushiki: 0 Observation Haki: 200 (Maximum Value) Armament Haki: 200 (Maximum Value) Haoshoku Haki: 0 After glancing at the changes in the talent interface of the Battle system, Ross switched back to the Talents Tree Interface of the general system. With the remaining 100 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross put them all on his Rock Talent, which completely filled the Rock Talent. Now his physique is not enough to support the burst of overload of power of distortion. Before he dealt with the annihilation of BIGMOM, the final aftermath made him suffer. This is undoubtedly caused by his lack of physical fitness. General Interface. Agility Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value) Physical Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value) Spirit Heart: 50 (Basic Level Strengthening) Tenacious: 200 (Maximum Value) Rock: 200 (Maximum Value) After the Rock was clicked to Maximum Value, Ross felt an indescribable surge of power flowing through his body. This force wrapped his viscera, washed through his flesh, tempered his bones, and finally flowed along the blood vessels on the surface of the skin, completely covering him. About ten seconds later. As the power wanes, Ross clenches his fist and feel his body at the moment, reaching a monster level. He doesnt need Armament Haki at all, his body is enough for him to resist the bullet or cannonball! When the Tenacious talent reached the Maximum Value, Ross acquired the ability to become a Pseudo-immortal, consuming stamina to regenerate all the internal organs of his limbs except his heart and skull. When the Rock talent reached the Maximum Value, Ross also received a special ability, which is Element Exemption. When being attacked by forces such as ice, fire, and thunder, he will absorb the power of elements such as ice, fire, and thunder by 30% and he will only suffer 70% of the injuries. No doubt. If the hardness and toughness of the skin are counted as weakening of physical damage, then this Element Exemption is a great weakening of the magic type of damage! The strength of Rosss body today has reached a certain extreme. Coupled with the Physical Enhancement Maximum Value and the Tenacious talent Maximum Value, it can be said that his physical fitness is not much worse than Kaido. With the ability of such an Element Exemption, he has almost reached a level similar to Kaido, even if he stands there and lets Aokiji Akainu and Kizaru attack him, they still wouldnt be able to kill him! Kaidos body should also possess the characteristics of this Element Exemption. Ross gladly took another deep breath, his eyes flickered slightly. Yes. Marines had tried countless ways to kill Kaido and certainly had tried to get Aokiji Akainu and Kizaru to attack him with their full force, but the fact that Kaido was still alive showed that fire, ice, and light were no threat to Kaido. Kaidos body is already powerful and unmatched. Ross has identified it personally, and that body can also absorb some elemental damage, plus his Armament Haki and Kaidos natural bodys toughness. The three Admiral can only suppress Kaido and they can not kill him. And the same is also true for Ross today. The three Admiral will be able to suppress Rosss body if he is just standing there but they wouldnt be able to kill him and he also has the ability to move in space that Kaido does not have. He can out of their siege in an instant. Coupled with the ultimate Future Prediction of Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki with top-level Armament Haki and the power of distortion comparable to the peak Whitebeard Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), it can be said that Ross is able to stand at the peak of this world by his strength alone. He is strong enough to steal Whitebeards Strongets in the Sea Title! Also. As long as he wants, he can come and go freely from the Marine Headquarters. It is almost impossible to kill him or catch him! It has been more than seven years since he came to this world and got the Talent System. Finally, he has gradually promoted all the powerful talents of the Talent System to the Maximum Value. In my current state, Whitebeard is probably no match for me. The only threats left are those hidden within the World Government Ross looked up at the sea, his eyes gleaming. He hasnt fought Whitebeard yet, and he doesnt know exactly how strong Whitebeard is, but he cant be much better than Kaido. In any case, he thinks he has more than a 60% chance of winning. Among the people he knows, those who can threaten him have basically ceased to exist, and those who threaten him remain unknown. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) Im Uranus Aside from the Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) on the surface, Ross doesnt think theyre any better than Whitebeard in terms of strength, but the hidden king of tenryubito, and the Ancient Weapon Uranus which could potentially be in World Government hands are unknown powers. After thinking about it for a moment, Ross took back his thoughts and stopped thinking about it. The ability endowed by the Talent System is extra. Although all his talents have reached the Maximum Value, he can still continue to develop his potential and improve his strength. And the proficiency in Distortion Fruit is not full, and the Time Distortion ability has not been activated. When all of this comes in his hands, then no matter how many hidden cards the World Government has hidden, he will take them out one by one! CHAPTER 303 ACCIDEN New World. Beast Pirates Territory. Hundred Beast Kaido was sitting cross-legged with a newspaper in his hand, frowning. Is that old woman dead? He asked. Pretty capable, that Ghost Hand boy The overall strength gap between Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates is not very large, except for the Whitebeard Pirates, which is recognized as the strongest pirates within the Yonk (Four Emperors), the other three Yonk (Four Emperors) are not much different when compared in strength. The Beast Pirates may be slightly behind the rest of them. Because of the personality problems of Hundred Beast Kaido, the power of the Beast Pirates is weaker than that of BIGMOM Pirates. Although Kaido himself is stronger than BIGMOM, his subordinates only have Three Disasters, and the BIGMOM Pirates have Four Sweet Commanders and Chef Streusen. Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Kaido picked up the gourd and gulped it down, keeping his eyes fixed on the paper. Just at this time. Kaido Sama. A pirate came panting up to the Hundred Beast Kaido and gasped, We We found the remnants of the BIGMOM Pirates. Should we destroy them? Ohh, the remnants of BIGMOM Pirates? Hundred Beast Kaido put down the newspaper and looked at his subordinate with a touch of contemplation on a slightly depressed face. Long ago, he owed BIGMOM a big favor, and though he had put it in the past and now BIGMOM is dead. After thinking for a while, Hundred Beast Kaido issued an order. Half a month later. Cake island has been rebuilt for half a month, and it has already built a rough but magnificent building that houses the captured pirate and others. The Ghost Hand Pirates have also completed a certain expansion in this half month, and finally, they can be regarded as an official huge force from the isolated pirate group they were before. The Sky Islanders occupy a large part of the said force and they can be regarded as a direct subordinate of Ghost Hand Pirates, while the remaining part is composed of some of the forces that surrendered but their number is relatively small because Ross does not accept any pirate to join him. Right above the cake island. At an altitude of about 10,000 meters within a sea of ??clouds, an Sky Island is suspended. It is Ross and Fujitora who have worked hard and spent nearly ten days pulling the Sky Island Birka here. The remnants of the BIGMOM Pirates have become the subordinates of the Beast Pirates? Inside the palace in the center of the Sky Island Birka, Ross listened to Robins report, with an unexpected look on his face. The remnants of the BIGMOM Pirates should be composed of Smoothie and Snake, two of the Four Sweet Commanders with a bounty of more than 500 million berries and three or four pirates with a bounty of more than 300 million berries. Such a force has become the subordinates of the Beast Pirates. It can be said that the Beast Pirates had immediately got rid of their last place and have become the first place in Yonk (Four Emperors)! Even the Whitebeard Pirates should find it difficult to win against the new Beast Pirates. Two of the Four Sweet Commanders and the rest of the BIGMOM Pirates are a powerful force that can not be neglected and they have all joined the Beast Pirates! Yes, I didnt expect it. After taking a sip of the Sky islands special drink, Robins eyes flickered. I thought Kaido would destroy them and even if he didnt destroy them, he would accept them as his subordinates, she said. Thats not the case. Ross shook his head, his expression returned to their previous calmness as he said, BIGMOM and Kaido have had a lot of entanglements before. I even suspect that among the cadres of BIGMOM Pirates, someone is the son of Hundred Beast Kaido Robin paused for a moment and said, Is this true? Maybe? Ross shrugged and said, Although Im not sure but if you look at it this way, its normal for those surviving guys to join the Beast Pirates and become Kaidos subordinates. During this half-month period, Ross also sent Shiliew of the Rain and Ficheux Erman to hunt down the BIGMOMs remnants members but the sea was too big. BIGMOMs remnant members have lived on the Totto Landsea and they are extremely familiar with the area and Shiliew and Ficheux Erman werent even able to touch the shadow of the other party. In general Ross took a drink in front of Robin and took a sip before continuing: It is unrealistic to destroy the Beast Pirates in a short time now. Robin glanced at Ross and said, Is it delicious? It tastes good. Ross smacked his lips and said, The drinks here in the Sky island are very good. They taste like happy water in the fat house. Fat House Happy Water? Robin looked strangely at Ross. Ross touched his chin and said, Well, Ill make one for you sometime. As he spoke, Ross put down his drink and reached out to rub his hand over Robins slender waist, all the way up. Robins face tilts over its body in disgust. She got up and left the room, a moment later she brought back a stack of dry yellow wanted posters and put them on the coffee table in front of Ross. Heres the new wanted poster and the paper, she said. Ross took a glance at the newspaper and found that the picture of an island smashing down was published in the newspaper. In addition, it also described the complete details about Golden Lion who once escaped from Impel Down. Up until now. Known as unescapable Impel Down, only two people have escaped from there successfully, one was Golden Lion, and the other was Ross. The conflict between Ross and Golden Lion is still a mystery. No one knows why Golden Lion appeared after Ross killed BIGMOM Pirates, but this news undoubtedly shocked the world. Many people who have experienced the three-legged era of Golden Lion, Roger, and Whitebeard know the terrifying power of Golden Lion. Even if Ross is now the Emperor of the sea and even eradicated the BIGMOM Pirate group, but Golden Lion is a legend of the previous generation, and he is undoubtedly a huge threat! The bragging is pretty good. Ross casually swiped the content of the newspaper. Golden Lion is a threat, but thats because of the special nature of Float-Float Fruit, But with his legs gone, he doesnt have enough powers to be a threat to Ross in direct combat. He didnt have time to use up his talent points before, and he had just finished his fight against the BIGMOM Pirates and he was in bad condition. There was nothing he could do if Golden Lion chose that moment to drop an island on his head. But now. He wouldnt be helpless against his tricks nor against him!! After putting down the newspaper, Ross picked up the stack of bounty posters again. The first one was his bounty. The amount of bounty has reached 2.5 billion berries! Hanging Bounty is actually of little significance at the level of Four Sweet Commanders. Even if a Marine Admiral takes action, he may not be able to kill one of the Four Sweet Commander, especially someone at the level of Katakuri. Even if he cant fight, he can still escape if he wants to. But. Hanging bounty represents the World Governments assessment of the threat level. Today, Rosss threat level is obviously higher than before. CHAPTER 304 DISMISSES AND REORGANIZES Fujitoras bounty has also popped up. With Morgans photos and reports, Fujitoras strength undoubtedly shocked the World Government. They did not expect that such a strong Battle force would be deployed under the Ghost Hand Pirates. Fujitoras suspension bounty is tentatively set to one Billion Berries. A billion, thats low. Ross glanced at Fujitoras bounty poster and set it aside. Shiliews bounty has reached 1.4 Billion Berries as it has increased a little. This suspension bounty is almost fixed, and it is almost impossible for it to be raised again. For one thing, Shiliew of the Rains strength cannot reach the level of Yonk (Four Emperors). For another, Shiliew is a subordinate of Ross. His threat degree exists and is calculated by relying on Ross. Ficheux Erman is close behind him with a bounty of 1.2 Billion Berries. Thunder Giant Hajrudin also has a bounty of one Billion Berries. With Hajrudins current strength, he really does deserve a bounty of one Billion Berries. Well, youre worth 300 Million Berries Ross flipped through two more bounty posters and turned to Robins bounty poster and found that Robins bounty had reached 300 Million Berries, and he could not help laughing at her. Robin sat on the couch and continued drinking, unmoved. The hanging bounty of Laffitte and Trafalgar Law, among others, has all gone up, including all the giants, with Ghost Hand Pirates now offering a total of more than 10 Billion Berries in Bounties! The bounty of over ten Billion Berries! Ghost Hand Pirates offer total bounty is enough to make countless people tremble. After turning over the bounty posters, Ross put the stack of bounty posters on the table, leaned back on the soft white cloud sofa, and said to himself: Its time to dissolve the Ghost Hand Pirates. Dissolve? Robin tilted her head and looked at Ross with a little flash of surprise in her eyes. Ross nodded and said to her: Its not a dissolution in a literal sense. Do you think that the current Ghost Hand Pirates can be divided into positions such as Battle regiment, Doctor regiment, and Navigator Regiment and others? The current Ghost Hand Pirates have taken over Totto Landsea and transfer the troops of the Sky Island to the Cake island. They now have direct subordinates and have formed a huge force. Under these circumstances. Its impossible for the Ghost Hand Pirate regiment to be combined in one ship with the structure of battle member, doctor, and navigator. Instead, it will be divided into a huge fleet. Robin immediately understood what Ross was implying. She nodded gently as Ghost Hand Pirates should indeed undergo a reorganization. How are you going to restructure? Ross slightly smiled, he already had a plan in mind. A few days later. The Ghost Hand Pirates held a high-level meeting. The meeting completed the dissolution and reorganization of Ghost Hand Pirates. After the reorganization, the Ghost Hand Pirates has a completely different system from the previous one. First Division: Captain Fujitora Isshou, with the authority to control other teams. Second Division Battle Force: Captain Shiliew of the Rain, responsible for chasing down criminals and intruders. Third Division Support Force: Captain Ficheux Erman, responsible for supporting other forces at any time. Fourth Division Medical Unit: CaptainTrafalgar Law, Deputy Captain Gerd, responsible for Ghost Hand Pirates medical work. Fifth Division Giant Division: Captain Hajrudin, responsible for conquering islands and seas that do not obey the rule of Totto Land. Sixth Division Intelligence unit: Captain Nico Robin, who is responsible for direct contact with Ross, reporting intelligence to Ross, delivering Rosss orders, and managing intelligence. Seventh Division Special Forces: Captain Laffitte, responsible for special missions and secret missions, as well as protecting special cadres such as Sugar. Ross wanted to change his title to Spirit King, and then renamed Sky Island Birka to Spirit Palace, but the title would not be useful because he changed it by himself. Ross is not in a hurry. One day in the future, the World Government will be wiped out and replaced by whatever he wants to call himself. In the Sky Island Birkas palace, all the captains of the Seven Division were assembled. Ross stood in the center and listened to the intelligence report from Robin. He thought for a moment, and said, This organ trafficking organization will be left to Shiliew of the Rain. A few days ago. Shortly after he took over Totto Landsea, an island on the edge of Totto Landsea was neglected and invaded by a force called organ trafficking organization in the dark Underground world. This power seems to be somewhat related to the BIGMOM Pirates but the BIGMOM Pirates has become a past tense. Jumping out now at this time is them trying to die. He is sending Shiliew of the Rain instead of Hajrudin for the purpose of not leaving anyone alive! Got it. Shiliew of the Rain closed his eyes and replied. He likes killing people the most. After handing the mission to Shiliew of the Rain, Ross turned to look at Robin again, and said, Tell the Intelligence team keeps an eye on Soul-Soul Fruit and report it to me as soon as it appears. Yes. Robin answered softly. After Ross nodded, he said, Others can leave, Law. You stay. With Rosss voice falling, Shiliew of the Rain, Fujitora, and others left, leaving only Trafalgar Law to stay in his place. Ross walked to Law, and asked, Hows Katakuris situation? No success. Law shook his head. He only started working on Katakuri three days ago, but Katakuris will is too strong, and he also has the Observation Haki Future Prediction ability, he cant even separate his will. In order to perform Personality Transplant Surgery, the wills of both parties must be extracted from the flesh. Before taking the will of the CP0 Division Captain, it took a lot of effort to succeed. Katakuris strength is far above the CP0 Division Captain. So Listening to Laws statement, Ross looked thoughtful. Whether other peoples conscious can be transferred into Katakuris body and it becomes into his combat power is a key point. Once it can be completed, he can begin to deal with the Beast Pirates that has absorbed two Sweet Commanders. Now. In the eyes of all the major forces in the world, the Beast Pirates has become the No. 1 Pirates in Yonk (Four Emperors), followed by Ghost Hand Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates. Akagiami (Red Hair) Pirates are the weakest at this time. Although the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates are weak, Shankss secret relationship with the World Government makes Ross reluctant to attack the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates at this time. What about Pudding? Still in custody. Take me to see her, her abilities are very good, if you can use them, it will be much easier to transform Katakuri. Law nodded and went out with Ross and met with Robin on the road, Ross motioned to Robin to follow up with him. The three left the Birka Island and soon came to the Cake island, and entered the rebuilt secret base. CHAPTER 305 DUAL PERSONALITIES The base is simple, but the internal space is very large because it is built according to the shape of the giant family, even the giant family can enter. The interior was empty and there were basically no facilities, and no one was seen moving around. It wasnt until they came to Laws experimental area that someone finally appeared. It was the guards, and although Katakuri and the others were locked in Seastone cages, shackled to Seastone shackles, someone had to be a Warden to avoid any problems. Your Highness Ross! When the two guards saw Ross, they all showed awe and bowed their heads. Today, all the islands in the Totto Landsea are under Rosss rule. Although Ross has not made anything like a throne for the king, there is no doubt that Ross has replaced BIGMOM and is ruling this part of the sea. Hows everything inside? Ross asked them. The two guards replied, Everything is normal. When Ross, Law, and Robin walked into the interior, they immediately saw a scene similar to that of Impel Down, where many cages were placed and more than ten prisoners were held in them. In one of the cages, Katakuri was held in solitary confinement. Pudding, the only girl prisoner was also held in solitary confinement. Realizing that Ross and others came in, Katakuri looked up and looked at Ross and Law and others. His eyes were deep and bright, with no sign of yielding or decadent. He stared at Ross for a few moments, and suddenly his face changed slightly, and the whole person became a little bit severe, saying, What are you going to do to my sister?! Did you foresee anything? Ross looks over his shoulder at Katakuri with a faint smile on his face. Ignoring Katakuri, he turns to Law and asks, When hearts exchange, does the power follow the heart or the body? Devil Fruit abilities remain in the body. Law whispered. After the implementation of the Personality Transplant Surgery, the Devil Fruit ability will not be transferred due to the body exchange, and it will remain in the original body. Ross nodded and looked back to the side and saw Pudding in a separate cage. Woohoo dont lock me up here please, let me out, I will cooperate and do whatever Pudding saw Ross looking at her. She wore Seastone shackles and showed a pitiful expression on her face as she went on her knees with tearful eyes. Robin looked at Pudding with a frown, and said, She is a bit pitiful. Dont be fooled by her appearances. Ross smiled and patted Robin gently on the shoulder and said. If I am not wrong, this Pudding should have a double personality. All you see now is her disguise no, its just a superficial one. Yes, thats it. Law calmly opened his mouth. Although he was a surgeon, he also knew something about the dual personality and it was easy to test. Laffitte did a little hypnosis before and the results were revealed. He said to Ross: Because of her dual personality, Laffittes hypnosis didnt work on her, and it was difficult for her to cooperate. If they cant complete the hypnosis, then no one dares to release Pudding like this, if she finds something and opens Katakuris Seastone shackles, it will be big trouble. Is that so? Robin was a little hesitant. She has a lot of knowledge and she knew double personalities, but Pudding currently looked a bit pitiful. Ross laughed. If you dont believe me, let me show you, Law. Open the cage. Law removed the key and opened the cage door. Ross walked towards Pudding and reached the cage and let her out, and smiled at her: Youll do anything to get out of here? Woo Pudding looked at Ross in horror. Katakuri seemed to see something in the distance in his cage, his face suddenly showing a grim expression, his Seastone chains rattling as he struggled. Ghost Hand! What are you trying to do! Ignoring Katakuri, Ross smiled as he reached out to Pudding, who unconsciously tried to avoid him, but even though she was wearing Seastone shackles, there was no such thing as hiding from him. Rosss hand touched Puddings cheek, then slid down all the way into her shirt. Puddings body began to tremble until it reached a critical point, her personality on the other side could no longer be held back, and her poor cheeks became horrible for a moment, snapping at Ross finger. Ross didnt dodge and let her bite. With how tenacious his body is today, even if Puddings teeth are ten times sharper and ten times more powerful, it will not cause any damage to Ross fingers. Here, you see. Ross ran his fingers across Puddings tongue, twitched her palate, and tilted her suddenly blackened face in the direction of Law Bin. Robin looked thoughtfully: It really is. Snapping! A subtle power of distortion from the tips of Rosss fingers hit Puddings tongue, causing her to shiver, moan and relax her teeth. Ross pulled back his fingers calmly, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped it. Memo-Memo Fruit has the ability to delete memories and tamper with memories. Use this ability to clean Puddings memories. You mean Trafalgar Law showed a thoughtful expression. Ross nodded and said: Find a person to exchange body with Pudding first, then use her ability to wash her memory after the exchange, and then exchange it back. Law heard Rosss words and thought: If this is the case, then the double personality may be washed away, and then Laffitte will be able to hypnotize her. Listening to Ross and Laws discussions about how to deal with herself, Puddings darker personality trembled a little. She suddenly got up and fled towards the main entrance. Ross didnt turn his head but instead hit Pudding with a jolt of gravity that left her frozen in place, as if she were carrying a heavy mountain. Even without the Seastone shackles, its almost impossible for her to escape from Ross, even Katakuri wouldnt be able to do so at his peak power not to mention her. Ask Laffitte to come over. Ross says to Robin, then turns to Law and says, Try it now. If you can use Puddings powers to clean Katakuris memory, maybe you wont need to do Personality Transplant Surgery. CHAPTER 306 REWRITING Katakuri knew that he couldnt stop things from happening. He looked at Ross and said in a deep voice, It turns out that you have been planning this kind of thing, and doing this kind of thing. If it becomes known what you have done, youll be dead. Katakuri now pretty much knows what Ross and Law and others are up to by catching him alive and locking him up here. Whether it is tampering with deep memory hypnosis or Personality Transplant Surgery, once these things are transmitted, not only Marine and World Government will be greatly shaken, but even other Yonk (Four Emperors) will be afraid, They will do anything in their power to stop and eradicate the Ghost Hand Pirates! After all. This is depriving the Battle forces of other forces subordinates and incorporating them into their own. No force can tolerate this kind of thing. It is still in the trial period, and it is too early to succeed. Ross glanced calmly at Katakuri and said, By the time people discover it, nobody in the World will be able to stop me. Do you know why I wanted to destroy your BIGMOM Pirates? Ross said as he came towards Katakuris cage, and smiled, For the land of Totto Landsea? No, my purpose was always the Soul-Soul Fruit. This fruit is so valuable that it is too wasteful to put it in the hands of BIGMOM. For this reason, I destroyed your BIGMOM Pirates and Ill wait for it to be born again on the sea. Hearing Rosss words, Katakuris body trembled slightly. Soul-Soul Fruit Memo-Memo Fruit Personality Transplant Surgery When these factors are linked together, it is almost scary to think about it! If Ross is really successful, he will use this power to devour all high-level combat power of a Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. Let alone the remaining Yonk (Four Emperors), even Marines and the World Government will find it difficult to resist the Ghost Hand Pirates! Katakuris heart was cold. BIGMOM is expanding Totto Land to accommodate all races and combat power, while Hundred Beast Kaido has formed the Beast Corps to create an army of Devil Fruit Users. The Ghost Hand Pirates Everyone always supposed them to be creating the giants regiment, ruling everything by the strength of the giants regiment, but now it seems that the giants regiment is just a facade! Ross turned around and ignored Katakuri. Katakuri had no chance to escape from here, so he didnt mind telling Katakuri about his future plans, and maybe he could also shake Katakuris heart and make it appear flawed. Robin took out the Den Den Mushi and informed Laffitte to come here while Ross and Law took Pudding to another room. Behind them is a Sky island girl with small wings named Rika, Rosss assistant assigned to Law and she was also the target of this exchange. Puddings strength is not very strong and Personality Transplant Surgery is much easier to be performed on her, for Law it is as simple as creating his most basic technique ROOM. ROOM! Laws wrists trembled, and the translucent cover enveloped the entire room instantly. He asked Rika: Are you ready? Ready. Rika nodded seriously. Buzz !! Laws finger turned gently and two heart-shaped things flew out of Pudding and Rikas body and exchanged and flew into each others body. This ability to exchange minds is a bit like the Mind Transfer Jutsu of the Yamanaka Family of Konoha in Naruto, but it is just a two-way exchange instead of one taking control of another. Rika and Pudding went unconscious at the same time. After a while. Rika woke up in a daze and opened her blank eyes. She looked around. When she saw Ross and Law, she immediately remembered something and there was a hint of panic in her eyes. She quickly looked down at herself. It looks fine. Ross nodded and walked beside Rika, or walked towards Pudding where the soul entered Rika s body, and Gravity Distortion hit her, holding her in place. At this time. Pudding also slowly woke up. After opening her eyes and looking around, she gradually remembered what happened. Captain Law, Ross Sama, did you succeed? Lets see if you can use Memo-Memo Fruits abilities. Ross nodded and walked towards her, and opened the Seastone shackles with the key. Rika controlled Puddings body. She moved her fingers and stretched her body. Memo-Memo Fruit seems to have a strange power. Rika herself is not a Devil Fruit user. She is now controlling Puddings body with Devil Fruit ability. It feels weird. However, Memo-Memo Fruit is a special type of fruit. It is similar to Hobi Hobi no Mi. It does not need to be developed for one to perform with it, they can do it instantly. Come and try. Law spoke to Rika, pointing to Pudding. Rika nodded and came to Pudding and because Pudding was occupying her body, looking at herself had a strange feeling. However, she has been Laws assistant for some time. She is adaptable enough, and soon she shows a serious expression, trying to extract Puddings memories. Pudding was resisting, and a mass of film-like things was drawn out of her head instantly. It was the ability of Memo-Memo Fruit. Can you modify your memory? Ross asked Rika. After all, Rika was using Memo-Memo Fruit for the first time, and her proficiency was very poor. She hesitated slightly and said, It seems possible, but it is a bit difficult. What about creating memories? After a little thought, Ross asked again. Rika tried it a little and said, It seems to be doable, I feel I can conceive a picture and replace the content on this thing. It really is an ability which can be used without much development. Ross thought a little and said, Cut off all her memories and create a memory of her being born. Her life was created by me, and her ability was given by me. Let me try. Rika nodded and her little hand twitched hard, pulling the film out of a string, and soon pulled out a lot of memories, and her forehead was a little sweaty. After all, its not her own body, nor her own ability. But. After all, Memo-Memo Fruit is still a fruit of low development. Rika finally intercepted all of Puddings memory, and according to Rosss description, she created a Ross made man memory as the only memory of Pudding. After all this was done, Rikas forehead was sweaty and she was panting heavily. All right. Ross watched the whole process and looking towards Law and nodded. ROOM! Law immediately used Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits ability and exchanged Rika and Pudding back, the two women passed out again, and Ross and Law waited silently. Using Personality Transplant Surgery to exchange the body, and then rewriting the memory using the Memo-Memo Fruit ability, this is a method that Ross thought and it is not clear whether he can succeed. If it is not successful, then Rika can only replace Pudding. CHAPTER 307 NOT ABLE TO EXTRAC It was a white world. She did not know where she was, nor did she seem to have any consciousness of her own, but felt herself immersed in an opalescent halo, unaware of the passage of time. As if a moment had passed, and as if a long time had passed, the milky halo that enveloped her suddenly flourished for an instant and then began to spread out in all directions. As she lay curled up, she sat up slowly, rubbed her eyes, and found herself sitting in the middle of a huge flower with white clouds beneath its petals. In a daze. She heard a voice, and it was holy. From today on, your name is Pudding. My name is Pudding She felt that the name Pudding was strangely sweet as if it had been her birthright. And at this moment, she saw a figure in the front, deep in the white cloud and that figure instantly occupied all her memory. The Secret base. Inside The Laboratory. Laffitte looked at Pudding who was still in a coma, his eyes twitched slightly, and he said to Law: You mean, thats all thats left of her memory?! Yes. Law nodded. Laffitte rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a slight headache coming in and said, Its too much of a mess. If you do that, theres a good chance youll turn her into an idiot! Is it? Ross came out of the next room, touched his chin, and said, Did I make a rash decision? Laffitte thought it was Law who made the proposal, but it was Ross who made the decision. His expression suddenly became a little stiff, and he reached out and said, There is still a possibility that everything will be ok. After all, it is the Devil Fruit power, not the loss of all memory. When it comes to the mind, Laffitte is certainly an expert among experts. He can actually hypnotize a person into forgetting something. But he wasnt able to hypnotize Pudding because of her dual personality. Ok. Ross nodded, said: If something goes wrong, just put Pudding out of the coma, the Memo-Memo Fruits abilities may fail. There are not many Devil Fruit abilities in this world. Most Devil Fruit abilities will fail when the ability user is unconscious, such as Hobi Hobi no Mi of Sugar. The Perpetual Youth Devil Fruit ability of the Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit can be regarded as one of the exceptions. Neither the Perpetual Youth Surgery nor the removal of the heart will be invalid due to Laws coma or death. But. In Rosss opinion, the Memo-Memo Fruit capability will not fade away just because its user is unconscious as Pudding is now in a coma. While Ross was communicating with Laffitte and others, Puddings eyelashes twitched slightly and she slowly opened her eyes and woke up. What is this place She looked around blankly. When she saw Ross, there was a flash of light in her eyes, but then there was a hint of hesitation and confusion. She is already feeling as if something is wrong. Whats up with her? Ross and others have long noticed Puddings wakefulness, and seeing Puddings blankness, Ross asks Laffitte. Laffitte stepped in front of Pudding and stared at her twice, thoughtfully: It should be that the memory changes were too much, which makes her feel that her memories are false and unreal but she cant remember more stuff, so Im lost. As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, If its like this, its easy Ross looked at Laffitte. It doesnt look too bad. Laffitte smiled while spinning his red wooden cane and said: It can be said that this is one of the best situations, and her dual personality must have been washed away. As he spoke, he rotated the red wooden cane in front of Pudding and soon put Pudding into a state of complete obsession. Three days later. Under Laffittes multiple hypnotic piles of washing, the new Pudding is finally released and because the Memo-Memo Fruit has washed away all of her memories and her dual personalities, her current transformation is more perfect than all previous deep hypnosis done by Laffitte. With a normal thinking process and absolute obedience to Ross, no matter what instructions Ross issues, she will not hesitate to complete it. Moreover. Law also used Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits ability to remove her third eyebrow allowing her to look exactly like a normal human, without having to cover her forehead with her hair again. After two days of the trial period, Ross was satisfied with Pudding and made her another special member after Sugar. Secret base. Inside the Laboratory. Katakuris cage was opened, and Katakuri in Seastone shackles was lying unconscious on the cold ground. Pudding tried several times to extract Katakuris memory, but even if Katakuri was knocked out by Ross, she still couldnt extract Katakuris memory. Cant draw? Ross looked at Katakuri, who was unconscious, with a thoughtful look. He didnt worry about what Pudding thought when she saw her pictures in Katakuris memory. Now, Pudding is not only washed by the Memo-Memo Fruits ability, but also by Laffittes most perfect deep hypnosis so far and there is almost no possibility of her betraying them. But. For someone who is able to use Future Prediction and have the top-level of Observation Haki, Katakuris mental strength is undoubtedly top of the sea. What if we weaken Katakuris vitality to the utmost limit? Ross turned to look at Law and asked. Law shook his head and said, In that case, he may collapse directly. Ross asked: Will he die directly? Yes. Law nodded. Katakuri is now in a state of imprisonment and they can make him unconscious and they can naturally suppress his vitality to the limit so that he does not have the slightest resistance. But if they forcibly use the Memo-Memo Fruits ability to extract his memory, there is a great possibility that it will cause a direct psychological breakdown. In that case, Katakuris body will die directly! Hearing Laws words, Ross fell into deep thoughts. Soul exchange can only be done between living people and has no effect on dead people. Gekko Morias shadow fruit is capable of acting upon the dead, but the zombies created by that ability have too many side effects, such as being restrained by salt, etc., and their battle force will be limited and they wouldnt be able to use their Devil Fruit ability. What about your mind exchange technique? Ross thought for a moment and asked Law. Law glanced at Katakuri who was unconscious and said, I can use my abilities on him while he is in this state, but no one can bear Katakuris power right now. Katakuri is Head of the Four Sweet Commanders. To fully exert Katakuris power, the soul that is exchanged inside Katakuri has to be very strong, almost as strong as Katakuri. If only 70% to 80% of the strength is required to be exerted, then the requirements can be reduced, but it also needs to be second only to the strength of the soul of the Four Sweet Commanders. The only qualified people are Laffitte and Law, and they obviously will not use Katakuris body. Wait. Ross thought for a moment, shook his head and said, Lets hold the mind exchange technique until we find the Soul-Soul Fruit, we may be able to solve this problem then. CHAPTER 308 SCIENCE BASE Ross turned and walked outside the laboratory and saw Robin standing alone in the corner with her eyes lowered and her expressions were a little lonely. Taking a look at her, Ross walked over and after being silent for a moment, he said: Puddings Memo-Memo Fruit can delete and change memories. If you want, you can forget about that bad pasts. Robin raised her head and her eyes flashed with light but that light disappear in the next moment, a slight smile appeared on her face and she said, Some things cant be forgotten Yes. Ross smiled gently. For whatever bad things had happened, forgetting is tantamount to escaping. This is a manifestation of being not strong enough. A person with a strong heart will not choose to forget anything, nor will that person be entangled in the body and bruises, but they will train and their Spirit will not be broken. Robins heart is undoubtedly strong. Maybe there are some occasional thoughts about forgetting her past but those thoughts will be wiped out instantly. If her heart wasnt strong enough, she may have died in Ohara, or died on some island and would not have survived until now. No doubt. Ross also didnt want to see Robin make a weak choice. Just as Ross and Robin left the laboratory and were about to leave the base, the Den Den Mushi on Robin suddenly rang. Purupurupuru !! Den Den Mushis voice sounded Buzz! Buzz! Rustling, Robin took out the Den Den Mushi and connected, and from the other side of Den Den Mushi came the solemn voice of Kaku. Captain Robin. We found the World Governments hidden base of the scientific force! Among the World Government subordinates, in addition to Marine and CP0, there are organizations of various sizes such as the Science Force among various other forces and it is that same Science Force that Ross cares about. Because the method of Eating Devil Fruit by weapons and creating weapons like Devil Fruit Swords is one of the research achievements done by the top scientist in the scientific Force, Vegapunk. Using Devil Fruit to create weapons with the Devil Fruit powers, this is one of the technologies that Ross needs because after getting the Soul-Soul Fruit, he plans to inject the ability of Soul-Soul Fruit into one of the 12 Saij Wazamono Swords, Cursed Blade Murasame to make a Soul Slayer Blade. But. It appears in Rosss memory that all Devil Fruit eaten by all weapons were Zoan Fruits. The Soul-Soul Fruit belongs to Paramecia Type. It is still unknown whether it can still be used for weapons. In any case, he needs this technology. The Scientific Force Hidden base how did you find it? Ross heard Kakus report and paused slightly before speaking in the Den Den Mushi. Kaku was not surprised that Ross was next to Robin and he responded in a deep voice: Fukuro was caught by Marines and was sent to the secret scientific base and he sent us some information. Ross frowned when he heard that Fukuro was captured. Fukuro was captured? When did this happen? Three days ago. Kaku responded in a low voice: I thought we could deal with it, and after tracing him, we found that it was the Secret Scientific Base of the World Government so I can only report to you. At first, Kaku and others didnt intend to alarm Ross. They thought that Fukuro had only been discovered by Marine, and they had to find a chance to rescue him. However, he was taken to the Secret Scientific Base. Ross asked in a deep voice: Is he alive? Unclear, the Vivre Card is acting weird now. Kaku responded with a low tone. He had Fukuros Vivre Card in his palm. This Vivre Card did not burn, but it was strangely static and did not move in a certain direction. It was as if Vivre Cards perception was blocked by some force. Ross paused with his eyes flickering and said after some time. So its no longer possible for us to use the Vivre Card to locate the Hidden Scientific Base? Yes. Kaku nodded and said: However, the Vivre Card is still pointing in a general direction, as long as the Scientific Base does not move, we should be able to find it according to the direction. Ross rubbed his eyebrows. Kaku doesnt have to say it as Ross had already considered this possibility, the Hidden Secret Scientific Base may really have the ability to move around, just like Zou Island carried on the back by the ancient giant elephant. But whether its moves or not, he has to take a trip. Explain the direction and circumstances. Ross took the Den Den Mushi from Robin. First, he asked Kaku to report the situation in detail and at the same time, he said to Robin, Robin, call Laffitte, Law, Ficheux Erman, and tell them to prepare for action. Robin responded and immediately notified Laffitte and others. Since the Ghost Hand Pirate regiment is now a huge power that owns Totto Land sea, its every move is highly watched by various powers of the World. If the Giant Corps is moved too loudly, Marines and World Government will likely to act against them causing unnecessary trouble. As for Laffitte, Law, and others, Laffittes hypnotic ability is needed when understanding information. Laws Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit Space ability will also play a huge role. Ficheux Ermans speed is fast enough, and his flexibility can be considered as a guarantee for solving various accidents. Although the Scientific Base is mysterious but no matter how mysterious, they cannot possess the worlds top combat power. They would not be able to handle the current Ross. Once they are found, they will be destroyed. If it werent for the fact that Ross wasnt just out to destroy, but to get the Devil Fruit technology to use for weapons, and whatever else might be useful, he wouldnt have a problem going there alone by himself. Quickly. Ross learned specific information from Kaku. On a simple sea map, he roughly drew several moving tracks of Vivre card and calculated the sea according to time. Because Vivre Cards direction is now blocked by something, Vivre Card cannot accurately locate the Scientific Base, but Ross can still shrink to a sea area. However. In that sea area, there is no marked island! Sure enough there are no islands Rosss eyes flicker slightly, which means that the Secret Base is not an island that can be reached by Log Pose and whether it is an island or not is still up for debate. This is not surprising for Ross. There are a lot more people who would want to find a place like the Science Base with its artificial Devil Fruit technology, which exists in the Science Base, once it can be located on an established island, Kaido would have attacked it first. Therefore, the base of the Scientific force must be on an island without magnetic force or magnetic disorder, which will not be captured by Log Pose. Or it may simply be a mobile super-large ship, like the terrifying Thriller Bark of Gekko Moria which was similar to the size of an island. CHAPTER 309 CALM BEL The Scientific Force Base of the World Government eh. Since those guys captured one of ours, we really cant just ignore them, but just us? Ficheux Erman and Laffitte and others arrived one after another on the coast of the Cake Island. A medium-sized sailing ship is docked here. For this team of the Ghost-Hand Pirate regiment, the size of the ship, artillery, and even speed are not significant. Once enemy ships appeared in their area of ??sight, Ross could easily control the current and pursue at a speed much faster than any ship in this world. Five people is enough. Ross calmly responded to Ficheux Erman and then motioned Laffitte to come and study the sea map and described the specific situation to Laffitte. Laffittes current level of navigation is much higher than Rosss. Soon, the range of the sea marked by Ross is narrowed again. If the base of the Scientific Force Base will move, the sea range will be even greater, but even if such a base can move, the speed will not be very fast. It may still be possible for us to find it based on this sea. Laffitte held a pen to mark on the sea map. Ross took a closer look at Laffittes narrowing sea range. A small half of this sea was inside the Calm Belt, and the other part was in the second half of the Grand Line, on the edge of New World. What if we narrow it down to the inner part of the Calm Belt? Ross spoke suddenly. Laffitte was trying to say that Calm Belt could be ruled out, but when he heard Ross, he suddenly looked thoughtful. It is not impossible. Calm Belt is the home of the Sea Kings and there are countless giant Sea Kings in it. There are some Sea Kings which are too large that they can be compared with the Giant Elephant Zhunisha. Even the Disasters can be killed by just their casual attack and it is too dangerous. But it is also because of its danger that Scientific Force Base may have a method that can be used by them to built an artificial island in the Calm Belt. After all, Seastone is embedded in the bottom of the Battleships to blind the Sea Kings perception, which was researched by Scientific Force Base. If thats the case, the scope becomes even smaller. Laffitte pondered before responding. Ross nodded and glanced at the few people present, and said, Its not too late, lets go now and find this secret Scientific Force Base. Including Ross, there were five people on board. Ross, Robin, Trafalgar Law, Laffitte, and Ficheux Erman, except for these five, they only have some obedient toys that obey orders. Currently, Totto Landsea has established a rough governance system. Even if Ross is not there, it will not be a big deal, not to mention Fujitora, Shiliew of the Rain, and Hajrudin are still there. How to transform the Cursed Blade Murasame into a Soul Blade, Ross needs to get that technology for his plans! The entire group quietly left the Cake Island and Totto Landsea and sailed towards the edge of the Grand Line, near the Calm Belt. Because this time they were light-loaded and they were traveling on a medium-sized sailing ship with only four people, they did not alarm any forces. According to the information that the forces received, Ross and Robin usually lived in the Sky Island Birka and rarely come down so even the World Government did not notice Rosss actions. After a few days. With Ross manipulating the current at full speed, the ship sailed across New World to the edge of it and came near the Calm Belt. The two seas, Calm Belt and Grand Line, can be described as clear and distinct. On one side, the current is turbulent and the sea breeze is whistling. On the other, the sea surface is calm, without any wind and waves. Its like two trains crossing each other, with a very clear dividing line. Calm Belt Boss, are we really going in? Ficheux Erman didnt seem to have any good memories of Calm Belt. Looking at Calm Belt in front of him, his mouth twitched slightly as he revealed an expression that said that he didnt really want to go in. Ross is not afraid of the huge Sea King, which is the size of an island, but he will still get a little irritated if they continue to attack. Ho ho ho, you look a little scared. Laffitte stood aside and smiled, showing an expression that looked through Ficheux Ermans mentality. Ficheux Ermans eyes flickered and he retorted: Im kidding. Calm Belt, isnt it just a home for a little bigger Sea Kings? Ross didnt care about Ficheux Ermans words. He stood at the forefront of the deck, stepped on the guardrail and the power of distortion controlled the current underneath the ship and it rushed forward with the sailboat and he broke into the Calm Belt. Before he escaped from Impel Down, Calm Belt still have the ability to threaten him, but today, even if he is faced with a Sea King as big as an Island, there will be no trouble. Crash! Almost as soon as the ship broke into the Calm Belt sea and sailed less than a few kilometers, a Sea King with a length of hundreds of meters poked its head out and looked at Rosss ship. This Sea King can only be regarded as a small Sea King in this sea. After staring at the ship with its two eyes, it treated the ship as a snack and opened its mouth showing rows of sharp teeth, and snapped it. But. Almost at this moment, a magnificent momentum passed by instantly. Roll Out. Ross glanced indifferently at the Sea King and he controlled the current to pass by it. The Sea King was under the shock of Rosss HaoshokuHaki. Although it did not fell unconscious, it still showed a humanized expression of fear. It watched Ross ship passing by, and finally dived into the sea and disappeared. Rosss HaoshokuHaki can have an instant deterrent effect on small and medium-sized Sea Kings, but the effect on large Sea Kings will not be obvious enough, let alone the giant Sea Kings. But. The moment he entered the Calm Belt, Ross entered the state of Spirit Heart and he fully used Observation Haki and inspired the ability of Future Prediction. Once a large Sea King or a Super Giant Sea King which can attack the ship appears, he will be able to predict it seven seconds in advance and he will be able to completely avoid them. Sailing down this road can be described as safe. Although from time to time, outrageous Sea Kings emerge from the sea, they never managed to get a hold of Rosss ship. So. Ross controlled the ship in this way and swept back and forth a few times around the marked sea area but he did not see anything like an island or the existence of a large ship. Laffitte stood at the table covered with sea maps, his face reflective and thoughtful. Trafalgar Law, sitting next to Kikoku the demon sword, said, We have been here for a few days. If that base moves, then maybe its not in this sea anymore. The Vivre Card doesnt work, and it doesnt know the direction of that bases movement. The search range will greatly increase. In this case, even if we are fast enough, it will be difficult to find. Laffitte said in a difficult way. Just then, Ross came over from one side, glanced at the sea map and the mark made by Laffitte, and said, What if it was underwater? Impel Down is also built on the bottom of the Calm Belt, but only part of it is exposed on the surface. The government has no doubt the ability to build a building on the bottom of the Calm Belt. Underwater? Its not impossible Laffitte points to the ground with his wooden staff which gave a few beeps as he said, But in this case, we need to go underwater to find them. Even if Captain can take the ship into the water, it is still too dangerous in a place like Calm Belt. All the people present here were Devil Fruit Users. If they went into the sea and encounter a giant Sea King who attacked them and they were washed away by the seawater, they will all be finished. A Yonk (Four Emperors) died in the sea by drowning in it, that would probably be the biggest joke of the century. Anyway. Ross glanced slightly, and said, I will not be in any danger if I am alone. You go outside the Calm Belt and wait. Protecting a ship on the under-floor of the Calm Belt where the Sea Kings roam is very difficult, even for Ross, but if he is alone, there will be no problem. CHAPTER 310 BIOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION The seafloor of the Calm Belt is very deep. Because there are large and even supergiant Sea Kings here, the average depth can be described as the deepest sea in the entire world, and in this deep water, Ross is sneaking alone. Thanks to the ability of Light Distortion, Ross can still see far ahead even in the deep sea where there is nothing but darkness, not to mention that his Observation Haki can also be used in the sea. Although Rosss Observation Haki does not have the same kind of effect that Hajrudins does where he relies on Rumble-Rumble Fruit to expand the range to a great extent but there is no problem in covering three to four kilometers. That is. Rosss search range is a ball with a diameter of 3-4 kilometers centered on himself. This is the bottom of the sea After sinking to unknown depths, Ross landed on the ocean floor, which he estimated to be at least a few tens of thousands of meters deep. The mud on the seafloor is silent and unmoving, the whole seafloor looked dead, no one has reached this place for thousands of years. Ross didnt stop at the bottom of the sea and he quickly floated a few kilometers and then began a carpet search. His movement speed on the ocean floor is not slow. Occasionally, he will encounter the supergiant Sea King, but because Ross s body is too small for the supergiant Sea King, he is not even as big as their single hair, so he will not be noticed. One hour Two hours Three hours As time goes by, Ross searches continuously on the bottom of the Calm Belt, but he still found nothing. The most he sees are those Sea Kings swimming around. And just as Ross was wondering if he had made a mistake and the Secret Base was not here just as Laffitte had expected, he sensed something strange ahead. Sneer! Sneer! Sneer! A Sea King, nearly a kilometer in size, was swimming by when all of a sudden its body split and was torn to pieces and then dragged away by something. Ross blinked and immediately followed. The Sea King is cut into pieces of meat by some kind of mechanical thing. It looked a bit like a rough version of a large Pacifista. The first generation of Pacifista? There was a hint of thought in Ross eyes. It is not laser power that cuts the Sea King into pieces of meat but a special kind of silk thread. It seems to have a strong tenacity, comparable to the thread fruit capability of Doflamingo. The head of the Sea King bumps into the silk thread and cuts itself into pieces. Following this weird machine, Ross sneaked under the sea and finally came to a base hidden deep in the mountains below the sea. This can be regarded as a bulging mountain range on the bottom of the sea, which is extremely wide in Rosss perception. Due to the darkness, it is even difficult to see the overall appearance. This position should not reach a depth of 10,000 meters from the sea surface. Silence. Ross followed the weird machinery that dragged a lot of meat into the interior of the mountain, through a strange cave, to a gate made of steel. A cursory glance revealed the World Government logo on the door, while in one corner was the Scientific Force Base number zero was written. Base Zero Ross watched the door open and watched as the machine dragged the pieces of meat into the base with a wistful look. There are probably more than one Scientific Force Base, and this one is probably the most secretive of them all, hidden deep under the Calm Belt. Without making a sound. Ross used his Distortion space and Distortion Sound abilities and sneaked into the door as soon as the door closed. The inside and outside of the base are very different. Outside is a quiet mountain range, and in the dark, without any light, full of ancient and desolate, but inside the base, everything suddenly became a scene taken out of a sci-fi movie. The white lights are inlaid on the ceiling, making the entire base bright. The entire base seems to be made of some extremely strong ore, most of which is second only to Seastone. Number Nine is back. The meat looks pretty good this time. Two people wearing World Government Scientific Force Base uniforms stepped out and watched the huge machine pull the pieces of meat over with a smile on their faces. And just as they inspected the pieces of meat, one of them looked stunned and he felt weird for some reason and he said to his companion: Did you feel anything passes by us? Theres nothing there. His companion glanced around strangely and smirked: Are you not sleeping well these two days? This is the bottom of the Calm Belt! Well, it should be my Misconception. The man also shook his head, thinking that this is the bottom of the Calm Belt sea and it is needless to say that there are Sea Kings everywhere. Except for the submarines designed by Vegapunk that can reach here, this place is almost isolated from the rest of the world. Secret Base Center. In one of the deepest laboratories, there are a lot of strange peoples, they seemed to be human but they have animal arms or teeth. Some even have half of their body as some kind of crustacean, while the other half of their body looks like a mix between lion and tiger and looks extremely scary. Biological modification Is this the end? Vegapunk held up the reports, frowning. This is not a base for making the mechanical transformation, nor is it a place for making artificial Devil Fruit, but it is the Base Zero used for biological transformation. In fact, artificial Devil Fruit also originated from here, and SAD that is used for making an artificial Devil Fruit is also an important raw material for biological transformation. Whew, but its now possible to create Artificial Devil Fruit! Why bypass Devil Fruit to directly transform it! If we make Artificial Devil Fruits, we will have an unlimited army of people. Caesar stands beside Vegapunk with his arms outstretched and an excited smile on his face. Vegapunk dropped the file and said: Artificial Devil Fruit My original intention was to detach the Devil Fruit and get straight to the essence of its life, but are you going back to the Devil Fruit again? What are you talking about? Its Dont mention it again. Vegapunk continued to look down at the file. Caesars face changed for a while and he was feeling very annoyed and he quips: But the only thing you can test now as a semi-finished product is that Marine Vice-Admiral. No. Vegapunk turned the file to the last page and narrowed his eyes. His inner will is beyond my imagination. It cant be said to be a semi-finished product anymore, it can be regarded as the only finished product! Your transformation was successful? Caesars eyes widened instantly. The experimental bodies they can capture here are basically not very strong. Occasionally, some strong ones are caught and once they are transformed, their bodies will reject the transformation and they will even lose all the desire to survive in the process of transformation. Eventually, all the experiments failed. But just a while ago, a Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral volunteered to participate in the transformation, and in the process of transformation, he displayed a strong will and desire to survive, supporting two consecutive transformations! There are three rounds of Vegapunk transformation, which are divided into three stages. Now it seems that the third round of transformation has also succeeded! CHAPTER 311 99,999! Naturally. Vegapunk responded calmly. Although he succeeded, he was not very satisfied, because so far, only one subject has completed the third transformation, and most of the experimental subjects died in the first transformation, and only two have survived the second transformation, including the Marine Vice-Admiral. If they want to make the whole battle force consisting of these subjects. The subjects have to go through the third round of transformation, but according to the current success rate, they cant make it in batches. The inability to produce something in batches means failure to Vegapunk. But they cant be mass-produced. Caesar quickly gets to the point, too. A Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral who voluntarily participated in the transformation. This is something that they may not encounter for decades. A person with the physical fitness of Headquarters Vice-Admiral is not a cabbage that can be caught everywhere. In addition to having the body fitness of a Headquarters Vice-Admiral, they must also have a strong will to support three rounds of transformation in pain. Each of the three rounds of transformation has a high failure rate, and it is incredible that one can succeed. It can be said. Even with a Vice-Admirals physical fitness, strong will, and survival desire are met at the same time, the success rate of completing the third round of transformation is less than one percent. Not to mention that it is difficult to meet these two conditions. Yes. Vegapunk nodded and said: So Im going to suspend the Biological Transformation trials and having successful at one will be enough to get more resources from the government, The corner of Caesars mouth twitched, and when he was about to say something, a series of dense alarm sounded suddenly in the laboratory. Vegapunk and Caesar froze at the same time. Didididididi! Vegapunk quickly came to a monitoring screen and pressed several buttons in succession. The screen shifted to the cell area where the prisoners were held. In the cell area, the prison where Fukuro was held was destroyed by a strange force of Distortion, and Fukuro walked out of the prison. What happened! Caesars eyes glared at the screen and he was feeling inexplicable, how could the cage suddenly break? Vegapunk calmed his emotions and pressed a button. Starting Power Level analysis. Didi! The picture instantly became a scan-like thing, sweeping across the cell. With a series of sounds, the Power Level of all the prisoners in the cell were scanned one by one and appeared on another screen next to it. Most of the data are between 500-1000, Fukuros data is 1200, it seems that there is nothing abnormal. Strange, what the hell is Caesar stared at Fukuro in the screen, and while frowning, the entire screen suddenly glowed a red light and shook violently. On the other screen on the side, a label of Unknown Life Form appeared, and its Power Level data was 99,999! What the fuck! Caesars eyes almost popped out of their sockets. What the hell, is this machine broken?! Vegapunks pupil also shrank sharply. He vaguely thought of something and his face changed drastically, he grabbed the pager on the side and said, Release the thirty-seventh experimental body, quickly! While giving the order, he turned without hesitation and rushed out of the laboratory. Kch! Almost as soon as Vegapunk rushed out of the laboratory, the picture of the surveillance cell suddenly burst, completely broken, and the surveillance was destroyed by internal violence. Caesar stood there stupidly, reacting only a few seconds later and he screamed and also ran outside the lab but he could no longer find Vegapunk. Ross Sama! Fukuro bowed to Ross. Although he knew that Ross and others will most likely come here for him. This is a secret base and it can isolate all life-based detections, such as Vivre Card, so he was not sure how Ross would find him. He had some fear in his heart about this so-called biological transformation. If would be better to eat a Devil Fruit instead of getting injected with something weird and getting turned into a half-human, half-animal form that could not be changed back into a human being, that would have been worse than death! Good job. Ross smiled slightly at Fukuro. Even after getting caught, he was able to pass a message to Kaku and others and clearly pointing out that he was caught in the secret base of Scientific Force Base, Fukuro is undoubtedly using his intelligence capability to the limit. Being able to find this base is undoubtedly credited to Fukuro. Its my duty to explore various intelligence reports for Ross Sama. Fukuro spoke with gratitude as it was a great honor for him to be praised by Ross. After this mission, maybe he can be promoted. Ross looked up at the ceiling with indifferent eyes. Let me see what they are capable of that they dared to detain one of my people. Bang! As soon as his voice fell, Ross stopped hiding and punched in the upward direction so violently that the ceiling above the cell burst apart. Countless exclaims and screams occurred one after another. There is An intruder! What a joke, this is the Zero Base and it is also 10,000 meters below the sea. How could there be an intruder? Which prisoner ran out? The huge movement caused many people to startle and scream. They were stationed at Base Zero, and the Scientific Force Base soldiers guarding them soon arrived. Looking at the severely damaged cell, the Captain of Scientific Force Base shouted, calming the chaos slightly. How can there be an invader at 10,000-meter deep seafloor? Which idiot was so negligent that he accidentally gave the prisoner a chance to escape from the prison, but the prisoners here dont have much power except for one or two of them. Whiz! Just then, a figure flickered out of the cell. He was a very fat man and he is Fukuro of the Intelligence Unit 4 under the Ghost Hand Pirate regiment flag, a former member of CP9. Oh its you The Captain of the Scientific Force Base knows about Fukuro. He even met him once before and he also knew that Fukuro was now a traitor. Looking at Fukuro, there was a cold look in his eyes. Do you know where this is? This is Calm Belt seafloor! You cant get out and escape. Get captured without a fight. It turned out to be the bottom of the Calm Belt. Fukuro looked at the Captain of Scientific Force Base without any panic and smiled, But unfortunately, this place will soon cease to exist. Big words! The Captain of Scientific Force Base sneered. He knew that Fukuro was quite powerful but it is impossible for him to destroy this base unless Unless Unless The sneer on his face solidified. Looking at the figure coming out from behind Fukuro, his forehead gradually began to overflow with cold sweat and fear and panic appeared in his eyes. Can you tell me, where is Vegapunk? Ross looked calmly at him and asked. His Observation Haki can sense all life in this base, but he cant distinguish which one is Vegapunk, and there is also a strong presence in this base, but this strong guy gives Ross an inexplicable Familiarity. Is he Vegapunk? Where has he seen Vegapunk before? CHAPTER 312 MONSTER You are are are Looking at Ross standing in front of him, the Captain of the Scientific Force Base guard was sweating heavily. Although this is a secret base on the bottom of the Calm Belt, it also keeps in touch with the outside world. He may not recognize Four Sweet Commanders or the Three Disasters, but Ross who is one of the four pirates standing at the highest point of the sea, how could he not recognize him! Yonk (Four Emperors)! Ghost Hand Ross! Along with Whitebeard and Hundred Beast Kaido, he is the new generations monster that is giving more headaches to the World Government than Whitebeard and Kaido combined! Cant you speak well? Ross looked at him calmly and suddenly reached forward. There is still a distance of more than ten meters, but the space of more than ten meters is suddenly compressed by Distortion. Everyone saw Ross hand directly cross the ten meters of space and instantly grasped the captains neck and tugged him in front of him and lifted him up. Can you tell me, where is Vegapunk? Ross stared at him and asked again. The Captains face showed fear as he struggled hard, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldnt get rid of Rosss hands. Captain! Hurry, attack! Nearby, all the Scientific Force Base soldiers, too, looked horrified. Someone spoke in a quivering voice and shot at Ross with his gun. Bang! Bang! Bang! Suddenly, countless bullets shot towards Rosss head and his body. These bullets are specially designed by Vegapunk but they are not to deal with invaders, but to control the riot that the transformed creatures would cause. The transformed creatures, even if only transformed once, have more than 5,000 Power Level data. These bullets can deal with them so their power is undoubted. But. Before any of the bullets could reach within three feet of Ross, they were all contained in the air by the power of distortion and began to deform under the watchful eyes of countless people. Ross looked at this scene indifferently and then he looked at the soldiers of Scientific Force Base. Bang Long! !! The Power of distortion flooded into the ground. This kind of base building is made from ore and steel which are very strong but it is like a piece of paper in front of Rosss power of distortion. Almost instantly, the ground in front of Ross crumbled like a whirlpool, engulfing dozens of Scientific Force Base soldiers and wiping them out. Damn it! He is really Ghost Hand Ross! Hurrying to the spot, Scientific Force Base Head Captain and Vegapunks bodyguard Sentomaru looked at Ross in the distance, his pupils twitching, feeling a little scared. He is the Head Captain of Scientific Force Base and also a subordinate of Marine Admiral Kizaru. He is no stranger to Ross. But. This is the Zero Base of Scientific Force Base! How did Ross appear here! What? When Sentomaru looked at Ross, Ross also found Sentomaru. Although Sentomaru didnt play any major role in the original series but because of his unique shape, Ross still had some memories of him. With a toss of his hand, he flung the Captain out and threw him against the wall, breaking it into pieces and sending blood flying everywhere. If he remembers it correctly. This Sentomaru seems to be Vegapunks bodyguard, he should know where Vegapunk is. Ross looked calmly at Sentomaru, took a step forward and suddenly crossed a few dozen meters and appeared in front of Sentomaru. What! Sentomarus pupils narrowed sharply, and he attacked Ross with a fright. Ross swings his backhand. Bang! Sentomarus Armament Haki collapsed instantly, and the whole person flew backward like a ball, smashing into a wall and spitting blood. Where is Vegapunk? Ross strolled towards Sentomaru, asking him. Sentomaru gritted his teeth and barely stood up, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, No comment! Dont expect to get any intelligence out of me. My mouth is sealed. Then you are useless. Ross stared at Sentomaru indifferently, throwing a punch at Sentomaru. However. Almost immediately, a huge black shadow smashed into the wall and came hurtling toward it and punched and collided with Rosss fist. Bang! Two fists collided, and a loud Bang broke out. The entire Zero Base shuddered in the aftermath as if it was hit by an earthquake. The ground between the black shadow and Ross suddenly showed signs of cracking, spreading in all directions, eventually covering the entire hall, and then stopped. You are Looking at the creature in front of him, a strange gleam flashed in Ross eyes. What is this creature? Because Ross doesnt know if it should be called a human or something else. Although it still has a head with two arms, the entire body looked ugly. The surface area of the body is covered with a layer of silver-colored scale armor. With two white horns sprouting from its head like Hundred Beast Kaido. Its muscles are exploding, its body the size of a giant ape with a tigers stripes and skin on its head, its whole body looked a combination of countless creatures. The strangest thing is. Ross still felt a little familiarity from this creature. Dont you know me, Ghost Hand Ross The weird creature had a caracre-colored face, bloodshot and red eyes, and a grin on his huge mouth. He swung his fist with condensed Armament Haki, which seemed to explode with a Hundred Beast Kaido-like powers, onto Ross. Ross raised his hands expressionlessly. Bang! A bang resounded through the entire base again, and the ground at the feet of the two collapsed directly to the next level, which is also the lowest level of the base. I dont really remember it. Ross slowly retracted his hand and said indifferently, Are you Vegapunk? No. The creature looked wicked and said, Vegapunk gave me a new life and gave me the power to destroy you, Ghost Hand Ross! He roared and charged into Ross again, his fists waving constantly. Bang! Bang! Bang! In the constant bangs, Rosss figure receded and the ground under his feet continued to shatter. Is this the strength after that test finally succeeded? Sentomaru was standing in the upper corner, watching the creature below beating Ross violently, and there was a touch of palpitations in his eyes. What a terrible thing, even the Ghost Hand Ross Bang! !! Almost as soon as his voice fell, a shocking sound came from below, and Rosss figure flickered, avoiding the opponents punch, and levitating into the air. He kept searching in his memory, and finally fixed on a certain figure, he looked at the creature unexpectedly, wondering: You are, Doberman? Jihahahaha, do you still remember me? I thought you had forgotten, and I never thought you would come here alone Doberman seemed to be in a state of insanity, he growled and jumped into the air using Gepp (Moonwalk) and punched Ross. Die! Ghost Hand Ross! Bang! The blow made the air ripple with a terrible crack. Rosss gaze calmed down, his mind moved and the space barrier opened, and Dobermans punch passed through him without causing any harm. Die! Die! Die! Doberman howls and punches and the aftershock of these punches shatters the back walls but never does Ross any harm. Based on strength and speed alone, Doberman, who has become a monster today, does have two improved points, but he only has strength and speed. Both of his Armament Haki and Observation Haki were too weak in front of Ross eyes. Its I feel sorry for you. Facing Dobermans Rainstorm-like attacks, Ross was suspended in the air and sighed softly, and the whole person stepped forward. Sneer!!! In an instant, Ross crossed the distance between him and Doberman and appeared behind him. There was a terrible blood mark on Dobermans chest and abdomen. He looked at his chest in disbelief and put his hand to the wound. How can this way my strength is obviously Ross turned around and held the Cursed Blade Murasame. His eyes were calm and indifferent, with a touch of compassion, saying: This is not the strength you get from practice, relying on external forces to gain strength, it is never possible to reach the peak by yourself. You will never be strong enough. Sneer! Sneer! Sneer! At the moment his words fall, Ross suddenly disappears in Void, instantly turning into three shadows and he charged into Doberman from three different directions. In an instant, numerous sword lights crisscrossed, and Dobermans tough transformed scale skin was cut by Rosss attacks, showing horrible cracks. There was a hint of unbelief in Dobermans eyes. Why. I have gained much more power than I did before and I still cant win against Ross, I cant even fight against him. He cant accept it! The cracks spread in all directions, and Dobermans large, terrifying body eventually shattered into numerous pieces in the air and fell to the ruins at the bottom of the base. This this Sentomaru looked at the scene with a fearful look on his face. What kind of strength Doberman has after completing three rounds of transformation, he just saw it clearly, and each of his punch is almost enough to kill him directly! With that tough-to-terrifying body, even his own master may not be able to injure Doberman in a fight. But. Even such a monster was so vulnerable in front of Ross! Ghost Hand Ross, how much power does he contain in that body? CHAPTER 313 CEASAR Farewell. Ross floated in the air, facing the flat opening at the base of the base, then flew overhead to the top of Sentomaru and watched him calmly. Sentomaru gritted his teeth tightly, and there was an unwilling look in his eyes, and he said indignantly: Dont expect to know where that punk bastard is from me, he said angrily. Im the most tight-lipped man in the world and I wont tell you that the bastard went towards a submarine! Oh, he went to a submarine. Ross glanced at Sentomaru and instantly used his Observation Haki, covering the entire Zero Base, perceiving a certain direction of the Zero Base where a submarine was starting. Whiz! He ignored Sentomaru and rushed in that direction. Everywhere he went, the solid walls were broken by him. Occasionally, when he comes across the Seastone embedded in the wall, Ross punches and bangs it out, smashing it into pieces and continue to rush in the direction of the submarine. The submarines propeller has been activated, and the steel front door to the submarine has been almost closed, leaving less than a third of the last opening. Come on! Come on! On the submarine, Caesar hurriedly urged the Scientific Force Base members who drove the submarine. Even without Caesars urging, the Scientific Force Base member of the sturdy submarine was already full of fear. Although he had never seen Ross before, the name of Yonk (Four Emperors) was enough to make people fear. Purr! The submarine started, and the special propeller ejected a peculiar air current, which drove the entire submarine to the depths of the sea. Caesar was relieved to see the base behind him get further and further away, and the steel gate glinting white from its last crack. Get Saved No matter how strong the monster is on this kind of ocean floor, it wont be possible to catch up, oh Caesar wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sighed with relief, and made a strange laugh. But almost at this moment, in the last crack of the steel front door, a figure flashed through it, like a blackfish and instantly rushed into the water. Oh, no? Caesar happens to see this with a vague sense of foreboding. Want to run? Looking at the fast-moving submarine, Rosss eyes flash with indifference, his hands grasp the Void and a jerk of power of distortion spread at the bottom of the sea. ! At a depth of 10,000 meters, the submarine is engulfed by Rosss power of distortion vortex that covers an area of about a thousand meters. No matter what source of power the submarine tried to use to accelerate, it could not get out of the whirlpool, and finally caught up in the whirlpool currents, it began to spin and fall into the middle of the whirlpool. Ahhhhh! Its over! Its over! Caesar was flying around in the spinning submarine, tears and snot flowing out of him in horror. Because he is a Logia Gas-Gas Fruit user, he cant be knocked to death, but he is bound by this current, and it is still at the bottom of 10,000 meters in the sea. The user of the Ice Devil Fruit may be able to survive this, but the user of the Gas-Gas Fruit is going to die. Goo-dong goo-dong! The inside of the submarine became a mess, but the shell of this submarine was made out of an unknown material as It could withstand the water pressure of the 10,000-meter-deep ocean floor and it was ridiculously strong and it did not break in the whirlpool. No one knows how long it has been, it may be less than half a minute in the outside world, but in Caesars eyes, it seems to be a long time as decades seems to have passed in front of his eyes and the rotation finally stopped. Eh? Im not dead yet? Caesar affixed himself to the ceiling of the submarine in a mass of gas and noticed that the rotation stopped. He stares for a while and then reacted. Caesar responds with a triumphant smile, reaching over to stroke the submarines inner shell, and laughs. Ahhh, it is indeed a submarine made of Ademan alloy. Its all right, this solidity is perfect! Sii! Almost as soon as his voice fell, a wave of marks suddenly waved across the center of the submarine, and the shell of the submarine, along with his entire body, instantly appeared with a crack. Slap! The submarine, like an apple split by a sword, cut to the sides. Caesar, who was also cut in half, also had a stiff expression on his face. Since he was a Logia user, he was healed immediately after being cut, but the submarine was cut in this way, which also meant Caesar turned his head little by little, and his entire body instantly seems to fell into an icy cellar. You? Ross looked at Caesar shrouded in purple gas, frowning slightly, and he glanced again at the submarine, where there was only a Scientific Force Base soldier who had fainted. He naturally knows this Caesar knows and the Logia Gas-Gas Fruit ability. A scientist originally affiliated with the World Government, who was convicted of a poison Gas accident, he later escaped from prison and made artificial Devil Fruits with the help of SAD for Doflamingo and sold it to Hundred Beast Kaido. At this point in time, Caesar doesnt seem to have that gas incident. Where is Vegapunk? Ross frowned. He didnt want Caesar, but Vegapunk. Although Caesar was a bit useful, it was impossible for him to be compared with Vegapunk. Caesars eyes showed fear, and under Rosss unintentional momentum, he was so scared that he almost pissed himself and his voice trembled: Beck Vegapunk, that asshole, he has long slipped away. As soon as Vegapunk was mentioned, Caesar cursed Vegapunk countless times in his heart. Vegapunk was first onboard the biggest submarine and escaped the base when the Power Level data detector machine detected Rosss unreasonable data. By the time Caesar reacted, there was only a small submarine left. As a result, as soon as he sat up in the submarine and the chair was barely warm, Ross pulled a vortex and dragged it back. Caesar was broken inside. Ran? Ross frowned. From Sentomarus humorous response, it should not be possible for him to lie in that situation, and to leave the ocean floor, you must only take a submarine. And the submarine on which Caesar sits is indeed a bit smaller. Buzz !! Ross utilized his Observation Haki on the ocean floor, but its been half a minute, and probably longer, and theres no sign of a submarine. Ross looked at Caesar and asked in a deep voice, Which direction did he run away? This I dont know Caesar trembled as he answered. Ross rubbed his eyebrows and looked at Caesar, he took a deep breath and slowly said, Give me a reason not to kill you. CHAPTER 314 ONE SWORD (Notice- I am going out for a week with my friends so I am posting (30/01/2020) chapters today.) Ross doesnt kill Caesar after all. For his life, Caesar talks a lot about how there are three of Zoans Devil Fruit in the base, and how he can make an artificial Devil Fruit, a poison gas weapon, and so on. Naturally. What really saved his life was that he said he would be able to make the technique that will make weapons be able to eat a Devil Fruit. Ross carried Caesar back to Base Zero. In front of Ross who is a Yonk (Four Emperors), Caesar knew that he had a few options. Naturally, he didnt dare to mess with him at all. In a laboratory at Base Zero, Caesar took three Devil Fruits from three suspended glass-filled glass instruments and handed them to Fukuro next to Ross. Fukuro took the Devil Fruits and took them to Ross. Two ordinary Zoan, one ancient Zoan? Ross picked up one of them and placed it in front of his face for a moment and asked Caesar. Yes. Caesar said cautiously: These two ordinary Zoan are in the form of Crocodile and Praying Mantis, the one in the ancient type is the form of a dragon Ross raised a brow slightly, thinking of Drake, one of the Supernova and said, How many Ancient Zone Devil Fruits are there in the form of a Dragon? There are several, but there is only one here, and the government has another, which they have never given to anyone. Caesar showed a poor expression. Ross weighed the Devil Fruit in his hand without comment. The role of the ordinary Zoan Devil Fruit is not very great, but if it is used on the Giant Corps, it should be able to build on the basis of the giant body and then improve, it can be considered better than nothing. As for this ancient Devil Fruit, if used well, it is not impossible to create a battle power on the same level as the Three Disasters. Is there anything important here? Ross handed the three Devil Fruits to Fukuro for safekeeping and asked Caesar again. Caesar scratched his hair and said, This the experimental equipment is very important and the SAD produced Too much. Ross said calmly. This is the bottom of the Calm Belt. There are too many Sea Kings here and although he is not afraid of them but it is going to be very troublesome to bring a lot of things with Caesar and Fukuro. With some pain in his heart, Caesar found out the most important test equipment. In the process, he also found that Vegapunk destroyed all of his previous research data and he began to curse Vegapunk again in bis heart. Quickly. The collected experimental instruments are brought together and although they have been simplified a lot but they still piled up to a lot and they could have almost filled an entire small ship. Isnt this a little too much, Ross Sama? Fukuro looked at the stacked instruments and asked Ross. Ross glanced and thought for a moment, and said, Almost. That one Caesar puts the last piece of information on the instrument, looks at Ross, and hesitantly asks, How are we going to get out of here? This is a 10,000-meter deep ocean floor, and the kind of bubbles used in the Sabaody Archipelago is invalid here and will directly burst. In addition, there are countless terrifying Sea Kings at the bottom of the sea. Without the trait of a submarine that can shield against the Sea Kings, it is impossible to travel to and from the water and the base. Although Ross had taken him back with a submarine, it was near the base after all, and the submarine could shield the sense of the Sea King. Now the submarine is broken, and Ross, this monster in human form might be able to get out of here but how will he go up? !! Im thinking about it. Ross looked up at the ceiling above him and touched his chin with a thoughtful expression. Poof! Caesar has an urge to vomit blood. You told me to pack everything important here and you are just thinking about it now. Are you really making fun of me? Do you think that the government will cooperate with you and send a submarine here.!! This was Caesars inner thoughts, but he didnt dare to say it, and could only hold back the words that he wanted to say. Fukuro stood there, and when he saw Caesars appearance, he couldnt help but glanced at him disdainfully and said: Ross Sama must have a way. Caesar rolled his eyes, Ross subordinates are brainwashed thoroughly. Ross didnt bother with Caesar and Fukuro. He looked at the ceiling, thinking about the distance from the sea to the base, and also considering the effect of water pressure. Caesar, how many meters from here to the sea surface. Nearly nine kilometers. Caesar replied to Ross. Hearing Caesars words, Ross eyebrows suddenly stretched and said, Its shallower than I thought. I thought it was over twelve kilometers. Caesar grumbled, It doesnt make any difference. Nine kilometers and twelve kilometers, there is no big difference between these two types of the ocean floor. There is a big difference. Ross responded calmly as he reached into his waist with his right hand, and pulling out the Cursed Blade Murasame. Buzz !! The power of distortion condenses on the blade, blurring the space around the blade, making the blade seem unreal, it seems to be close but feels far away. Fukuro and Caesar both felt a sense of oppression. Neither of them knew what Ross was going to do, but they retreated subconsciously. Although I am not very proficient in sword arts, but Rosss fingers trembled slightly as he held the hilt and the blade in his hand swung upwards as if it were carrying tens of thousands of pounds of mud. The condensed power of distortion stirred up in an instant. Buzz !! Suddenly, a ripple ignited from Rosss blade and penetrated the ceiling unhindered, plunged into the sea, and rose at a terrifying speed. Nine kilometers Eight kilometers Seven kilometers As the ripple continues to rise, its speed also becomes slower and slower, but this slowness is only compared to the previous penetration speed. In fact, it is still very fast. Two kilometers One thousand The ripples came to the last thousand meters of seawater, and the power contained in them has become very weak compared to before, but the water pressure in the seawater at a thousand meters has weakened too much. Like a kind of microwave emitted from the seafloor, this ripple finally penetrated the sea surface and flew out from the calm sea surface of the Calm Belt. It was a complicated process and it took a lot of time in describing but it happened in less than a second. Silence. The sea, which was originally calm, seemed to become silent at this moment and appeared dead. Not only the surface of the sea, but the sea that had spread all the way from Base Zero to the surface of the sea, fell into a dead silence, and all the subsurface currents of the ocean floor stood still at that moment. This is Inside Base Zero, Caesar looks up at the ceiling and stares, not knowing what Ross just did. But just as he was about to ask, a crack appeared in the middle of the ceiling and the crack spread to both sides in a straight line, splitting into two in an instant. But even then, No seawater came pouring into Base Zero. Behind the cracked ceiling on either side was a clear blue sky, and the sun was pouring down on the base at a depth of nine kilometers. An Impossible path made by a single Sword! CHAPTER 315 THE CALMNESS AND STEADINESS IS IMPOSSIBLE (Notice- I am going out for a week with my friends so I am posting (30/01/2020) chapters today.) It is rare in this world to see a man fight against nature. In particular, Caesar and Fukuro have never seen anything like the power to cleave an entire ocean from the abyss, nearly 10,000 meters below the surface. Thats Master Rosss strength. Fukuro looked at the blue sky with a shocking expression on his face and muttered to himself. He even felt that the Whitebeard, known as the worlds strongest man might not be his own bosss opponent. Caesar stood aside, remembering the previous Power Level detectors detection of Ross. The data was 99999. This data is the upper limit of the detection instrument, that is to say that no specific value can be detected above it. Power Level Value. Strictly speaking, this is not a specific value of power, but a synthesis of data such as the strength, vitality, and flesh activity contained in the body. In addition to Ross, there is only one other person who can reach the limit of 99,999, namely Hundred Beast Kaido. After Marine captured Kaido in a siege, he tried to poison Kaido with poison gas but he failed completely. His gas had no effect on Kaido at all. This kind of monster, even a subject which has gone through the three rounds of Vegapunks life transformation and has developed all of its life potentials, they still cant reach this level Caesars eyes shook with a hint of fear at the same time. The kind of fear you feel in the presence of the seas top and highest power! Lets go. After cutting through the ocean floor and reaching the surface, Ross swung his cloak and used Gravity Distortion on the Fukuro and all the instruments and instantly flew overhead with the instruments and Fukuro. Caesar stared and watched Ross and Fukuro and the instruments flying upwards until the seawater began to flow from the ceiling, and the crack was gradually closed by the closed seawater. Then he responded, making a strange noise while flying up. Whiz! Fortunately, he reacted fast enough and wasnt blocked by the seawater, and flew out of the last gap. However, after flying out of the base, there was still a height of nine kilometers above him and the seawater had begun to close from both sides to the middle, wrapped in surging forces beyond human power. Wo ah ah ah Dont leave me here! Caesar is about to burst into tears and flies up and down with his ass almost glued to the water because of his average speed. The sea that had been cut off from the abyss began to close towards the center and it looked like a terrifying beast closing its mouth to the horizon to swallow Caesar into it. Caesar, who fought hard to fly upwards, was finally a little bit faster than the seawater. Before the seawater was closed, he rushes to the surface. Bang! Two pieces of Seawater joined and collided with each other, and at one moment the Sea was splashed with huge waves, causing numerous Sea Kings to pop their heads out of the Sea. The massive movement was too huge even for those large Sea Kings. Caesar jumps on Fukuro with tears running down his cheeks and says, Hey, I almost got drowned! Arent you flying? Fukuro slaps Caesar and gives him a lazy look. Ross ignores Caesar and continues to fly sideways with Fukuro and a stack of instruments. Caesar with a tearful face has some thoughts of wanting to run away but his survival instinct overwhelms his inner thoughts and he follows. At an altitude of about one kilometer, Ross stopped flying upwards and began to fly horizontally out of the Calm Belt. At the same time, he took out a piece of Robins Vivre Card to guide them to Robins direction. World Government. Inside the highest lobby. A Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) listened to the intelligence reports reported by his subordinates about the infiltration and erosion of several countries by the Revolutionary Army and looked a little solemn before saying. The threat of the Revolutionary Army is getting more and more serious, With the passage of time, the Revolutionary Army is no longer as weak as before and they had penetrated into many countries. The most important thing is that the ideas it spreads are extremely harmful to the World Government. But. They have never been able to find Dragon and they are still confused about the location of the Revolutionary Armys headquartered. There is no way for them to take out the Revolutionary Army. In the absence of specific intelligence, it is impossible to send Admiral forces to chase every trace of it day after day. We cant do anything for the moment. One of the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) raised a teacup and drank tea. The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) holding the sword next to it, points to the ground with the tip of his sword and said, The New World has stabilized during this time, which is a good thing. Good. The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) sitting on the sofa said in a deep voice: Although Kaido has gained the remaining power of the BIGMOM Pirates, it has become a bit bigger, but it has formed a balance with the Ghost Hand Pirates. In this way, the Ghost Hand Pirates have to remain quiet. For them, the most important thing is balance. As long as the sea is balanced and does not threaten the existence of the government, they wouldnt care even if the New World is given to Yonk (Four Emperors) to divide it among themselves!! Todays New World Yonks (Four Emperors) are divided and unless there are special circumstances, they cannot send troops to New World to destroy any of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates as that will cause other Yonk to take action and it will likely cause a World war. Coupled with the Revolutionary Army, there are too many variables for them to start a war now. Its a good thing that the Ghost Hand Pirates have to settle down. He has taken over the territory of BIGMOM. The Gorsei standing next to the sofa said lightly: Once you have the power to rule a sea and stand on the high places where countless people look up to you, the edge will gradually be smoothed. This world has always been like this. People who have nothing have the courage to fight, but once they have power and prestige, they will start to be afraid of losing, and they will become cautious and lose their former edge. When Kaido and BIGMOM did not become Yonk (Four Emperors), it was a world of chaos that led to war after war. But. With the establishment of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates system and the division of their respective territories, the sea is much more stable than in previous years. Although the Revolutionary Army is creating chaos everywhere, as long as Ross doesnt do anything and the other Yonks remain in stability, the world will not be chaotic, and it would not be a problem for them. Speaking of which, Vegapunk previously reported that the third transformation was successful. Oh? The Gorsei who were not responsible for managing the Scientific Force Base section heard his words and turned his head. Although they are not responsible for the management, they still have heard about the biological transformation reported by Vegapunk. After three rounds of transformation, they can even create a Marine Admiral level of combatant! I didnt expect Doberman to succeed where others havent. The Gorsei sitting while drinking tea said, Unfortunately, mass production of these subjects cannot be achieved, and the cost of failure is too high. Otherwise, the Shichibukai system would not be necessary. If Vegapunk can produce three or five Battle forces in batches, what balance does Shichibukai have? It can be discarded at any time. Even if it cant be mass-produced, it means a lot to be successful. The Gorsei with the sword solemnly spoke, the Marine Admiral-level Battle power is a rare power for the entire government. Vegapunk really did a great job this time! When can he be called? Lets ask him about his success. Several Gorsei talked to each other, intending to ask Vegapunk about the time when Doberman can join their battle forces again. One of them reached out to a Den Den Mushi and was ready to call Vegapunk. But at this moment, a government official rushed in and hurriedly looked at Gorsei and said: Gorsei Sama, something went wrong! Base Zero was attacked by Ghost Hand Ross and has now been completely occupied. All instruments and experimental items are gone. Only Vegapunk fled back! Kch. It was the sound of a teacup falling on the floor, and broken glass splashing around. There was silence in the entire hall, and only tea was flowing slowly on the ground. CHAPTER 316 KAIDO AND WHITEBEARD (Notice- I am going out for a week with my friends so I am posting (30/01/2020) chapters today.) Inside the Calm Belt, everything is calm but outside the Calm Belt, there is now a violent wind Rainstorm, the sea is undulating and the undercurrent is surging. And all of this is separated by a line. The weather conditions are quite different. Laffitte controls the rudder and directs the toy soldiers to sail and hang the sails so that the ship can be supported in the storm without being washed into the Calm Belt by the undercurrent. Its been twelve hours, Captain Ross hasnt returned yet Trafalgar Law stood on the deck, looking in the direction of the Calm Belt, with a look of worry on his face. As one of Rosss subordinates, he is naturally very clear about his Captains strength, but how dangerous the seabed of the Calm Belt is, he is also very clear about that too. Coupled with the mysterious Scientific Force Base, no one knows what will happen. Are we going to find Captain? Ficheux Erman leaned against the side of the cabin and said, they have Rosss Vivre Card and they can enter the Calm Belt to find Ross, but the Calm Belt is too dangerous for them. Robin held Rosss Vivre Card and there were no emotions such as flustered the dark eyes as she said: The Vivre Card has not changed, we will continue to wait. The fact that Rosss Vivre Card didnt show any abnormality indicates that Ross is not in any danger, so they dont need to worry about him for the time being. If they rashly break into Calm Belt and are besieged by a large number of Sea Kings, then the problem will be serious. While the group of people was waiting in the storm, Laffitte suddenly pressed the top of his ceremonial hat and looked at the sky in the direction of the Calm Belt. No need to wait, Captain is back. It seems that he found the base. Law straightened up, too, and he also looked in the direction of Rosss flight. He saw Ross carrying a lot of strange equipment, and the Fukuro, who was much fatter than Ross. Crash! There was a huge wave coming, and the ship was going up and down in the waves, and it looked like it was going to capsize, but just then the figure of Ross broke through the waves and landed on the ship. Hardly had he stepped on board when the power of distortion was thrust through the planks into the rough sea, forcing down the rolling currents and waves. Subsequently. Fukuro also landed on the deck. Good job, Fukuro. Law carried the Demon Sword Kikoku and said to Fukuro. Ficheux Erman also nodded towards him. Fukuro was able to send intelligence from the base of the Scientific Force Base, which is indeed a credit to him, but this base was not so easy to find. It seems that it was indeed under the sea. If it hasnt been for Ross, I am afraid no one would have found it. Captain, who is that guy? Laffitte pointed to Caesar with his red wooden cane. Ross put all the instruments on the deck steadily and said, Vegapunk escaped but this guy is also useful. As he talked, Ross turned to look at Caesar and said, But to make sure youre obedient, we still need to take some measures Law. Yes. Law responded as soon as Rosss voice fell and he suddenly shifted his position and appeared behind Caesar and his blade penetrated Caesars chest instantly. Caesar lets out a scream and backs away while clutching his chest, he was horrified to find a gaping hole in his own, while Law has a pounding heart in his hand. My heart Cut it into two pieces and keep them separately, one of them with you and other with Laffitte. Ross ignored Caesar and said to Law in a low voice and Law responded by cutting Caesars heart in half and tossing one piece to Laffitte. Laffitte held the pounding heart and tilted his head to look at Caesar. Well, then you have to be obedient, or you will die. Grunt! As his voice fell, Laffittes fingers squeezed the heart. Caesar suddenly feels a sharp pain in his heart area and falls to the deck, he instantly started to cry and was in tears, feeling that he has fallen into darkness. I I will obey, can I put my heart Ross ignored Caesar and walked directly into the cabin, while Law and Laffitte put away their respective hearts. Ficheux Erman added, This guy seems to be a Logia user, you two, be careful, dont let him steal his heart back and run away. Dont worry. Law lowered the brim of his hat and walked into his cabin. Back to Ross in the cabin, he thought of it and called out the Talent System Interface. After killing Doberman, he got 25 Talent Proficiency Points, which was a little unexpected to him. This reward value is obviously still based on Marine Vice-Admiral standards. He has defeated a Marine Vice-Admiral for the third time, he got 100 points for the first time, 50 points for the second time, and 25 points this time, which is estimated to be so much. Although the Battle power of that guy is not easy to measure, even a Marine Admiral would have found it difficult to deal with him, its a little loss Ross touched his chin and said to himself. The strength of the mutant Doberman is not well defined, because his Armament Haki and Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki were too weak, but in terms of pure strength and pure speed, he was a lot stronger and his body was very strong, he gave off a feeling of being a little Kaido. But its not bad to get rewards, even if its a little less, after all, something is better than nothing. Buzz !! Ross did not hesitate to put all 25 points on Distortion Fruit, and after the golden light flashed, Distortion Fruits total proficiency also reached 845 points. His physique today is strong enough to withstand this level of improvement, and even a 900-point power of distortion should not be a concern, but if he wants to raise it to 1000 points of Maximum Value, his current physique may still be slightly weaker and he would need to improve it. Although the three talents of Physical Enhancement and Tenacious and Rock have been set to Maximum Value, the improvement of the Talent System is extra. Rosss own potential has not been exhausted and can still be developed. With a thought, Ross put away the Talent System Interface and showed a touch of contemplation before saying to himself, Kaido is becoming more powerful, it is not easy to deal with him for the time being, should I start with Whitebeard Ross now has the absolute certainty that he can beat Kaido. Even if he cant kill him, his current power is enough to suppress him completely but his subordinates may not be able to deal with the three Disasters and the two of the Sweet Commanders. In comparison. The subordinates of Whitebeard, only the Captains of the first five teams have the strength of the Three Disasters, while Captain of the second team is still vacant, that is, there are only four generals. However, Blackbeard, who hasnt gotten the Dark Devil fruit yet is also an uncertain power element in the battle. He may also have strength compared to a Disaster. The Beast Pirates that merged the remnants of the BIGMOM Pirates, it seems that they are not much better than the Whitebeard Pirates. After all. Before Ross appeared, the Whitebeard Pirates were recognized as the head of Yonk (Four Emperors). CHAPTER 317 CONFLIC In the current situation, it is not just a simple matter of war in dealing with a Yonk (Four Emperors). Marine and the government are bound to smell the conflict and they will come to fish in the troubled waters and other Yonks may not be able to sit still. The root cause of the chaos that happened in the era of the previous Five Emperors was the inevitable result of the imbalance of forces, so no matter how chaotic it was, it cannot be stopped. But. After BIGMOM died in Ross hands, New World restored the Yonk (Four Emperors) era, which is tantamount to restoring balance, so once someone moves, the consequences will be great. If Ross led his main force and left the Totto Landsea. Will Totto Land be attacked by Marine? Will other Yonk (Four Emperors) intervene? These are all problems. Even if Marines dared to get involved in the Totto Land, Ross will also take advantage of that and deal with the Marine when they return after the battle, but all this must be prepared in advance. In terms of Rosss status today, it can be said that any decision he made is enough to set off a wave in the Grand Line and even the entire world. However. While Ross was contemplating, Robin suddenly opened the door and walked in from outside with a complex expression on her face and said: Our people are fighting the Whitebeard Pirates. The Whitebeard Pirates? Whats going on. Ross frowned slightly as he looked at Robin and asked in a deep voice. Robin held the Den Den Mushi in his hand and put it in front of Ross. The situation seems to be a bit complicated. Ask them yourself. Captain Ross? Shiliews voice was heard from the other side of the Den Den Mushi. Ross looked at the Den Den Mushi and his eyes flickered slightly as he asked, How did you end up in a fight with the Whitebeard Pirates, what happened? Its a long story, but I havent fought them yet. Shiliews voice was slightly subdued as he continued, Im on my way out now and as this is beyond Isshous jurisdiction. I have to ask you. Hearing that Shiliew had not yet fought against the Whitebeard Pirates, Ross estimated that the situation would not be much worse, so he relaxed a little and asked: Tell me more and dont leave anything out. Well Shiliew spoke slowly from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, recounting what happened during the days when Ross was away. The current Ghost Hand Pirates are aggressively expanding its intelligence unit. The subordinates of this unit have operating in many islands, including other Yonk (Four Emperors) territories. Just a few days ago. A member of the intelligence unit found a Devil Fruit on Proust Island, one of Island under Whitebeards territories, and was about to bring it back when the subordinates of the Whitebeard Pirates discovered him and the Devil Fruit. Devil Fruit, which appeared in Whitebeards territory, was first discovered by Rosss subordinate. Who should this Devil Fruit belong to? Obviously, the two sides could not reach a consensus. Although the pirates on the island were not the pirates directly affiliated to Whitebeard subordinates at all, they were just a group of the fleet of subordinate branches but the intelligence personnel on Rosss side were even weaker and Devil Fruit was eventually taken away. A Devil Fruit found by Rosss intelligence unit has been stolen. Is this really okay? !! Although the matter involves the Whitebeard Pirates, due to time constraints and the fact that Ross and Robin were dealing with the Scientific Force Base, the lower-level report was only submitted to Kaku and Kakus decision was to grab back the Devil Fruit. They are the Ghost Hand Pirates, and no one can grab things from them, not even the Whitebeard Pirates! And. The other party is not directly affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates. It is just a team of the local pirates that is attached to the Whitebeard Pirates. They are separated from Whitebeard by thousands of miles. Kaku made a decision and because he was in the nearby sea, he personally went out and he snatched back the Devil Fruit. However. The local pirate group was naturally furious and their Captain immediately ordered their ship to give chase and because they were familiar with this place, Kaku and others were eventually overtaken. Kaku didnt expect the opponent to pursue them so fast, and he rushed to fight in a hurry. Both sides fought a real bloody battle at sea. In the end, the two sides suffered heavy casualties. It was at this time that the situation changed dramatically. What started as the lowest members of the hierarchy turned into a bloody battle between Kaku and the Captain of the Local Pirates. They couldnt hold it anymore and reported it to the Whitebeard Pirates. So Is the Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates coming for them? Ross asked Shiliew after hearing the full story. Yes. Shiliew whispered coldly: Since a Captain has been sent by the opposite side, we cant be indifferent on this side. I plan to go there myself, but the conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates is not the responsibility that Fujitora can afford to give. When Ross was not in Totto Landsea, most of the things were handled by Fujitora, but there was also an upper limit on the things that Fujitora could handle, and one of such things that he couldnt handle is a direct conflict against a Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. He obviously couldnt make a decision on such a major event and it had to report to Ross. I know. Ross nodded and said: Whats the power of that Devil Fruit? Its not clear well its Paramecias Transfer-Transfer fruit. Shiliew really didnt care about the specific ability of the Devil Fruit, but the deputy Captain next to him whispered to him. Transfer fruit? There was a look of surprise in Rosss eyes. He was impressed that this fruit was one of the abilities of one of the pirates that had died in his hands. It can transfer all the attacks and all damage in a certain range, this fruit is extremely powerful! So, Captain, your decision is Shiliew held the Den Den Mushi and spoke slowly towards Ross on the other side of Den Den Mushi. Go ahead. Rosss eyes calmed down and he said indifferently, Show Whitebeard that not anyone can take something that is ours! I know. Shiliew grinned as if he had expected Ross to make such a decision. He followed Ross on his journey, but he had never seen Ross fear anyone. Even at the Marine Headquarters, he dared to break into it. He destroyed the Marines Headquarters fortress in front of Fleet Admiral Sengoku. These crazy things and such crazy decisions are something that made the Ghost Hand Pirates the most unprovokable existence on this sea! Pulu. The Den Den Mushi was hung up. Robin put the Den Den Mushi in her pocket and her expression did not change in any way because of Rosss words. It seems that she had already guessed this result. Made up your mind? The ability of the Transfer Fruit, if it is used by a giant, it will create a powerful force. Ross held up his teacup and took a sip. So this fruit Im taking it! Whitebeard cant keep it! CHAPTER 318 THE SUPPORT ARRIVES Etwall, Stourport sea. This is the sea ruled by Whitebeard, but it is located on the edge and the land occupied by Whitebeard is the largest of all Yonk (Four Emperors). Bang! Bang! Cannonballs pierced the sky, falling on the sea, and the exploding waves splashed everywhere. Three ships flying the flags of different pirate regiments were chasing a ship in two directions that appeared to have been in a major battle. On the mast of this ship, a flag representing the Ghost Hand was hung. On the deck. Kaku was standing there with one of his arms bandaged and hung on his chest. The bandage was stained with blood and another bandage was wrapped around his waist and the side of his waist was covered with a faint spillage of blood. Just then, a cannonball fell from the sky and landed straight on the top of Kakus head. Bang! A figure jumped up and charged into the sky and punched the cannonball off with his fist and fell back to the ship in the diffuse smoke. The figure seemed extremely battered and he seemed to have experienced a long fight. Blocking the cannonball for Kaku is Blueno, he gritted his teeth and looked at the three Pirate Ships of the Whitebeard Pirates that were following them. Kaku, we may not be able to stop this. Keep going Kaku was badly wounded, but he stood on the deck with a grim expression on his face. Captain Shiliew is on his way. Bang! A cannonball fell and hit the edge of the hull, shaking the whole ship. Soon a man covered with water came running out of the cabin in a panic and said, Kaku Sama, the ship has been blasted with a hole in the side. Water is coming in! Kaku gritted his teeth slightly and said, What about Snuggle? Ask him to help and plug the hole first! A hole was blown up on the edge of the hull. It was not easy to plug it naturally and he and Jabra and Blueno were all busy defending. They could only let others help. Yes! But then there will be no one on the starboard. It doesnt matter. We cant control that much. Kaku said in a deep voice, Anyway, this ship cannot sink! The nearest island was still some way off, and in his heyday, he might have been able to fly by using Gepp (Moonwalk), but now most of the people here are wounded, himself included and without this ship, they would be buried in the sea. Although Bluenos Door-Door Fruit can open the door by air and span a certain space, it has a large distance limit. Opening a door between two islands cannot be done by his ability. Kaku Bluenos face was a little dull as he asks, Can we still make it? The Whitebeard Pirates were moving fast but they were heading for their home base and the ships behind them had been chasing them for a long time. We must make it. Kaku said coldly, Captain Shiliew may not be able to come that fast, but the people in the nearest Third Division have already been dispatched. The Whitebeard Pirates are like a hornets nest and a swarm of bees will pop out instantly if something happens but the Ghost Hand Pirates are also the same! Now that the Ghost Hand Pirates influence network is gradually spreading out, people like Shiliew of the Rain will take some time to reach them from Totto Landsea, but there are people from other divisions who are closer and are dispatched earlier. Bang! Bang! Bang! Due to the great distances between the ships, several ships of the Whitebeard Pirates regiment subordinates were launching their cannonballs from a special long-distance cannon from afar as normal ranged weapons wont hit Kakus ship. There are a lot of people in the New World who could use Gepp (Moonwalk) or some similar technique but not everyone can and those who can are at least the level of a cadre. On these Whitebeard Pirate ships, there are not many cadres who can use Gepp (Moonwalk). Continue to push forward! Dont hold back, dont stop! On the three Whitebeard subordinates ships, the Captain and the cadres held their swords and continue to command their man to attack Kakus ship with cannons. But after all, a pirate ship is a pirate ship. Its gunfire power is far less than that of a Battleship. Even if there are three ships, the cannonball network formed cannot destroy Kakus ship in a short time. Kaku and his crews ship was a light sailboat that would have been a little faster, but due to hull damage, they cant escape Whitebeard subordinates ship now, so they have to keep running away. One hour Two hours Time passed little by little. The damage to Kakus ship was getting worse and worse, and it was gradually getting overwhelmed. At this time, two cannonballs suddenly crossed two arcs accurately and landed on the hull, one hit the deck and one hit the mast. Blueno blocked the one that was going to hit the deck but he could do nothing against the one that hit the mast. Bang! The cannonball hits the top of the mast and it burst into flames and smoke. Kch! The huge mast, about a third of the top part is now broken and splashed, and the sail is also broken along with the top of the mast, so it can no longer bear the wind. Good job! Hahaha, lets see where they run to now! On the three Whitebeard subordinates ships, a smirk appeared on everyones faces. The people on Kakus ship saw their masts broken and their faces changed. Without the sails, the hull had no power, and the people behind would immediately catch up with them. Ill do it! Blueno clenched his teeth and jumped to the mast, he grabbed the broken part of the mast and forced his arm to press it on the broken park. No way he wont last long. Kaku looked up and his face was still a bit depressed. If he was in his prime condition, with Bluenos power, he could hold on to the mast stiffly for a while. But after a naval battle and a chase battle that hasnt stopped yet, Blueno doesnt have much stamina at all, so he wont last long. Moreover, the mast was severely damaged and it was no longer possible for them to reach their previous speed. But. When Kakus fists were tightened, Blueno, holding the mast, suddenly looked up to the distant sea with a surprised expression on his face. Kaku! Our men are coming! Huh? Kaku heard the words and looked up and he saw three ship shadows appear on the sea horizon. The navigator standing next to Kaku took out his binoculars and took a look. He clearly saw that the three ships were flying the Ghost Hand Pirates flag, and the number three was marked on it. Its the reinforcement from the Third Division! He lowered his binoculars and almost jumped up in joy. The feeling of being on the verge of death and then suddenly getting a hope that they will live, no one could keep calm in that situation. Kaku took a deep breath and glanced through the telescope and said, Three ships it seems that a large army is dispatched. Although the CaptainFicheuxErman of the Third Division was not present, the deputy Captain and the cadres of the subordinates were also excellent and had regular contact with them. The Captain of the Intelligence Division is Robin, while Kakus current position is the Vice-Captain of the Intelligence Division, Jabra, Blueno, and others are the Third seat and the Fourth Seats in turn. CHAPTER 319 Damn! Its Ghost Hand Pirates! The Whitebeard Pirates subordinates also discovered the three ships flying the flag of the Third Division at the same time. The captain and many cadres all looked a little worried. They have been chasing Kaku and others for a long time and they have seems to be winning. However, the other party suddenly got reinforcements. How can they be happy? Their sails are broken, kill them before their reinforcements can reach them! The Captain of the Local Pirate Regiment named Citi Pirates looked at Kakus ship and others with a grim look on his face. One of his legs was broken. Now he had only one leg left and he was supporting himself with two crutches. He broke Kakus arm, but his own injury was more serious. Kakus arm had the chance to recover, and his leg was completely crushed by Kaku. Rest assured, Big Brother, we will get revenge for you! The Captain of the Black Mist Pirates was standing next to the Captain of the Citi Pirates with a wicked look on his face. Like Citi Pirates, they are also a Pirate Group under Whitebeard. The Citi Pirate Regiment and Kaku and other people fought hard, resulting in both of them having heavy injuries and heavy casualties. They were the reinforcements that arrived afterwards, and then started chasing Kaku and others. Full speed ahead, all of you! The Black Mist Pirates Captain raised his blade high and pointed it in the direction of Kaku and others and roared. Bang! Bang! Bang! The cannonballs were constantly being shot and the three ships quickly approached Kakus ship. Until they were within a certain distance, the Black Mist Pirates Captain slashed sharply with his sword. A blue sword energy broke through, completely cutting off the masts on Kakus ship! The distance is enough, come on! The Black Mist Pirates Captain, with an angry look in his face, began to slash repeatedly with his sword, bursting forth with continuous sword energy one after another. At the same time, the pirates of the other two ships also began to attack. Although they are not Division Captains, as Captains under Whitebeard, each one of them is a strong character. They can rule a domain in the first half of the Grand Line! Kakus ship which had been overwhelmed by the bombardment from close range attacks were now being pounded by long-range cannons in a short distance and by a variety of sword energy attacks. Kakus ships continue to crumble into pieces and it began to make an overwhelming creak. Is the distance enough?! Kaku and everyone else on the ship had now come to the stern, abandoning their resistance against the Whitebeard Pirates and looked far away at the Third Division ships. Blueno pressed his hands in the air while panting violently, staring at the coming support ship of the Third Division, just as the hull swayed violently and was about to collapse, his eyes flashed. All right! Air Door! The ability of door-to-door Fruit was instantly stimulated. A door like shape appeared in the air in front of him, and the rear of the Door was directly connected to the deck of the ship in the Third Division across a space distance! Lets go! Kaku whispered and everyone rushed inside the door. At the same time, on the Third Divisions ship, an air door appeared on the deck, and Kaku and others stepped out of the door one after another. All of them were bruised and their power and stamina was overdrawn. You look miserable, Kaku. The Third Divisions deputy Captain came up and looked at Kaku and others, and took a breath, saying, Is Devil Fruit still with you? Its here. Kaku took out a Devil Fruit from his pocket and put it back in his pocket. The Third Division deputy Captain nodded and said: Captain Shiliew is coming soon, and Lord Ross has already given an order. Master Ross order? Blueno sat on the deck as his stamina was overdrawn and he asked the Third Division Deputy Captain weakly. The Third Division Deputy Captain looked into the distance, looking at their sinking ship, the ship that Kaku and others had been riding on, and the team of Whitebeard Pirates that were chasing them. He smiled coldly before saying: Fuck them! What about the Whitebeard Pirates, their Ghost Hand Pirates had defeated the Beast Pirate and also killed the BIGMOM Pirates. Even though Whitebeard is the so-called legendary strongest pirate, but he is also an old man who is already old. Their Captain Ross is less than Thirty Years Old and he has just entered his prime! Kaku, you go inside and rest first, leave everything here to us. The Third Division Deputy Captain stepped forward and came to the front of the deck as he looked at the direction of the Whitebeard Pirate regiment, and coldly issued a combat order. Kaku and others didnt expect the Deputy Captain of Third Division to be so forward that he directly started a war, but as Ross had already ordered it, it should be the same. All ready to fight! Let that old man Whitebeard see what weve got! With the roar of the Deputy Captain of the Third Division, many of the members and cadres of the Third Division were eager to fight and they shouted together with him. On the one hand. Ghost Hand Pirates Captain, Ghost Hand Ross is the most brilliant and dazzling existence of this era. There is almost no one who is similar to him. He is the strongest combat power in the new era, and he is someone who has even destroyed Marine Headquarters! On the other hand. Laffitte has applied a small amount of hypnosis to all Ghost Hand Pirate subordinates and the official members are the Seven Members. This hypnosis has only one effect, that is being fearless! It stimulates the courage in peoples hearts so that there is no fear in them so that in the process of Battle, they will exert their 100% or even more than 100% combat power! On the sea The three ships of the Whitebeard Pirates had completely broken Kakus ship but they only found a few corpses. Damn it! Did they run away?! The Captain of the Citi Pirates propped his cane and looked down at the fragmented ship boards and corpses below. Kaku and Jabra and others were not found and he bit his teeth in frustration. The Black Mist Pirates Captains face is not looking very good either. They originally thought that they could destroy Kaku and others before the reinforcements came over, but Kaku and others used some weird abilities and just slipped away under their eyes. At this time. A pirate of Black Mist Pirates came over while looking into the distance and said, Captain, the guys over there seems to be coming here, I dont think that they are planning to run away. In their sights, the three Ghost Hand Pirates ships were already extremely clear, and all of them had their artillery fired out and they set out in their direction. But Ghost Hand Pirates assholes There was a trace of anger on the Captains face and he said: Is that so then let us see how good they are that they dared to come and fight with us! In this sea, they have never been afraid of anyone and now after the Ghost Hand Pirates robbed their Devil Fruit, and attacked the captain of the Citi Pirates. Today, they are going to kill them and bury them in the sea! CHAPTER 320 ALARMING ALL SIDES Marine Headquarters. In the top office, Fleet Admiral Sengoku is reviewing documents. Fleet Admiral Sengoku, urgent information! A Marine Rear Admiral rushed into the office in a hurry, reporting to Sengoku nervously: The Ghost Hand Pirates subordinates cadres and the Whitebeard Pirates clashed violently in Etwall in Stuart Potter sea area! Hearing the Marine Rear Admirals report, Sengoku suddenly looked up. It is not uncommon for the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates to clash against each other. Generally, as long as it does not involve a Yonk (Four Emperors) or a full-scale war, Marines generally adopts an attitude of surveillance. But. Ghost Hand Pirates is another case! Sengoku knows very well to what extent Rosss madness has reached, Ross is someone who had once overturned the Marine Headquarters in person. The subordinates of the Ghost Hand Pirate regiment and the pirate regiment under the flag of Whitebeard Pirates are involved in direct conflict. This will not be as simple as an ordinary war!! Etwall, Stuart Potter sea, that should be Whitebeards territory, why would the Ghost Hand Pirates fight against the Whitebeards there? Sengoku stood up and asked the Rear Admiral gravely. The exact reason is not clear, but it seems to be a fight over a Devil Fruit, The Rear Admiral says nervously. Sengokus eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, Whats going on with Totto Landsea and Whitebeard? Unclear for now. The Rear Admiral bowed his head and said that as even if there is a local war between the Ghost Hand Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates, they have just learned of this news and although Marines always kept an eye out at Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates all the time, it was impossible to for them to know everything about a Yonk (Four Emperors). Check it now! Sengoku shouted. The Rear Admiral answered and immediately turned and left the office. After Rear Admiral pushes the door away, Sengoku, standing there, leans over and supports the top of his desk with his hands, his face showing a terrible headache. Ghost Hand Ross! Ghost Hand Ross again! He had received word from the World Government intelligence agency a few hours earlier that Ross had infiltrated the Scientific Force Base zero and that all of it had been destroyed except for Vegapunk. And in less than a few hours later, the Ghost Hand Pirates clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates. It was like a spiny dolphin covered in thorns, which had to be pierced everywhere. After half an hour. A Marine Vice-Admiral hurriedly came to Sengokus office and reported to Sengoku solemnly about the specific movements of the Whitebeard Pirates and Ghost Hand Pirates. The Ghost Hand Pirate regiment was dispatched on a large scale, and the Whitebeard Pirate regiment has done something similar. Two of their Captains had set off a day ago. Convene a high-level meeting! Sengoku took a deep breath, a touch of gravity in his eyes. If it is only an ordinary war than they can still wait and see, but when it comes to Whitebeard Pirates and Ghost Hand Pirates Captain-level characters, it will likely evolve into a full-scale war! If Whitebeard and Ghost Hand Pirates fight, it is impossible for their Marine Headquarters to sit idly by and ignore it. They must start to act, but how to act still requires a meticulous strategy. At the same time. In Beast Pirates Territory, somewhere at sea. Ah, how did that Ghost Hand kid get up against that old man Whitebeard Hundred Beast Kaido listened to the report and rubbed his hair with one hand. Master Kaido, shall we act? A person sighed beside him: While the conflict between Ghost Hand Pirates and Whitebeard in going on, we can take all the territories of the Ghost Hand Pirates. Kaido sat there cross-legged and didnt respond. If he captured Ghost Hand Pirates territory while they and the Whitebeard Pirates are fighting, where would his reputation go?!! This kind of thought didnt exist in his mind at all. Instead, if the Ghost Hand Ross and Whitebeard really fought against each other, he would be quite interested in the fight itself and he was already thinking about going there. Akagamis (Red Hair) territories. Somewhere on the grass, people from the Akagami (Red Hair) pirates were gathering, talking and laughing with each other. The reason for this party was the visit of Hawkeye Mihawk. But at this time, everyones laughter had stopped, and there were only some low drinking voices in the field. It really is impossible to rest peacefully Listening to reports from his subordinates, Shanks sat there wearing a black cape while facing the shore, exposing a deep gaze. Beckman sat on a rock behind Shanks and took a puff of a cigarette and slowly said, Looking at this momentum, a war cannot be avoided. A Devil Fruit, unless it is something like the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, is not a particularly big deal for a Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. As long as either side slightly compromises, the conflict will immediately stop. The problem is that neither Ghost Hand Ross nor Whitebeard is someone who would compromise. Once both sides do not choose to concede, that war is inevitable! What shall we do, Boss. Lucky Roo took a bite of the meat and asked Shanks. Shanks lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly, then he slowly opened them and stood up and wrapped up his cloak on his body before saying: Get ready to go. Well, are we going to fight? Lucky Roo swallowed the meat into his stomach before asking. Beckman also stood up while his hands were patting his butts, and said: It depends on how much things will get messed up, Marine wont sit idly by, and Kaido may not stand idly by either. Ghost Hand Ross Sitting a short distance away, Hawkeye lowered his head, revealing a touch of contemplation. He had the impression of Ross when he defeated a swordsman who challenged him to a fight at an island. At that time Ross and Leader Don Chinjao fought. He was not interested in the Battle and left directly, but he did not expect that the man who was nothing in his eyes at that time would become a Yonk (Four Emperors). Do you know Ghost Hand Ross? Shanks heard Hawkeyes murmur and looked at him strangely. Hawkeye stood up and shook his head. It was just a meeting. At that time, he was still struggling in the first half. I didnt expect that in a flash, he had reached the current level. Hahaha, who would have thought? Shanks laughed when he heard Hawkeyes words. He and Hawkeye were no different in this situation. They had only met Ross once. Although he had a hunch at the time that he might meet Ross again. But who wouldve thought that by the time he met Ross again, the other party wouldve already become a Yonk (Four Emperors)? Do you want to come? laughter fell and Shanks looked at Hawkeye. Hawkeye groaned slightly and said, The government may call in the Shichibukai. If you dont mind, Ill take a free ride. After a few hours. The news of the conflict between the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates began to expand toward the entire sea at a very fast speed, and countless forces of all sizes got the news. This news got the Worlds attention! Almost all of them were nervous, whether they were related to the Whitebeard Pirates or the Ghost Hand Pirates. The destruction of the BIGMOM Pirates is still fresh in their minds. And the impact caused by their collapse, that big shuffle of the Underground world, also caused the whole world to be confused for a while, and the scope was extremely wide. Todays conflict between the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will probably only have a large impact and it would not be a small one! Chapter 321 ‘Flower Sword’ Vista Etwall, Stuart Potter sea. The Ghost Hand Pirates subordinates, Third Division Support Unit, and several pirate groups such as Citi and Black Mist Pirates under Whitebeard are still in fierce confrontation. For nearly four hours, both sides suffered serious casualties. Due to the shelling and side-to-side battle of the six ships, two of them were sunk, and only four were left. They were still in fierce fighting. Rankyaku (Tempest Kick)! Blueno kicked out Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) and swept at an opponents cadre, while the opponents cadre waved his blade to resist and slid out a few meters under the impact of Rankyaku (Tempest Kick). Due to the extension of the fighting time, in addition to the severely injured Kaku, Blueno and others rejoined the battlefield after eating and drinking and getting some rest. How long can you last? The cadre of the Black Mist Pirates subordinates looked at Blueno indifferently and said, Our things are not so easy to get, you have to pay the price in your blood! Whiz! He slammed into Blueno, his blade wrapped in Armament Haki as it chopped down. Blueno blinked and folded his arms in front of him. Armed Tekkai (Iron Body)! Armament Haki and Marines Rokushikis, Tekkai (Iron Body) were utilized at the same time. After resisting the opponents sword, Blueno kicked back and forced the opponent back. If he hadnt experienced a series of battles, with his Haki and strength, this cadre is not his opponent, but now he can only fight him as equals. On the other side. The Third Divisions deputy Captain is fighting against the two Captains of the Black Mist Pirates and White Blade Pirates. Ghost Hand Pirates has seven deputy Captains, with the strongest deputy Captain of the First Division, comparable to a pirate with a bounty of three or four hundred million berries, followed by the Second Division and Third Division and Sixth Division. The current strength of Kaku and others is not much different from any New Worlds pirates with a bounty of two or three hundred million berries. In New World, the two hundred or three hundred million bounty pirates are basically ordinary cadres of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. The two Captains of the Black Mist Pirates and White Blade Pirates in front of them, have a bounty of 200 million Berries and 220 million Berries, respectively. But. Both the Black Mist Pirates and White Blade Pirates had their stamina drained due to their previous chase battle against Kaku and others. At this moment, they have been fighting for more than four hours, but both Captains were unable to win against the Ghost Hand Pirates Third Division. Captains of the Whitebeard Pirate regiment subordinates, is that all?! Third Division Deputy Captain had bloodstains on his face and a lot of blood on his body, but he was still standing and was alert without any expression of timidity, his face was filled with a sullen expression. This bastard The Black Mist Pirate Captain was holding a broad-edged broadsword in his hand and he got angry when he heard the words and said, Dont be too arrogant Ghost Hand Pirates scum! Ding-Ding Dong! The two sides staggered with swords, the Third Division vice Captain took the opportunity to kick the Black Mist Pirates Captain in the chest and caused him to fly backward. But White Blade was on the side and he immediately came forward when he saw the situation, the Third Division couldnt make any extra pursuit and he could only continue to fight with White Blade, and couldnt end his previous opponent. Black Mist Pirates Captain returned to the battlefield to continue charge into Third Division vice Captain. The bloody battle continued and the casualties continued to increase on both sides. Of the remaining four ships, two more were gradually overwhelmed, and there were signs of destruction. Ghost Hand Pirates, these guys really have some strength White Blade Pirates Captains face looked a bit ugly. He judged that if this situation continued, although the opponent may not win, most of them will not win either, and it is most likely that they will lose everyone on both sides. One should know that this is the sea under the control of the Whitebeard Pirates. They are in their base camp and they are fighting a losing battle on both sides with the Ghost Hand Pirates. It will undoubtedly damage the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates. However, after White Blade Pirates Captain brandished his sword and made a hard fight with the deputy Captain of the Third Division, the shadow of the ship appeared on the sea level in the distance. Thats Captain Vistas ship! Black Mist Pirate Captain also noticed the change in White Blades expression and also glanced in that direction from the corner of his eye. He also saw the ship coming. Whitebeard Pirates, 5th Division Captain, Flower Sword Vista! Now Whitebeard Pirates second team Captains position is vacant, Vista ranks fifth in the Whitebeard Pirates, behind Whitebeard and Marco and other top-ranked Captains! I thought we could destroy you before Captain came. I didnt expect your resistance to be tough, but thats all for now! Black Mist Pirates Captain stood with a look of defiance in his eyes. This Ghost Hand Pirates Deputy Captain, although he has some strength, but faced with Captain Vista, he is nothing more than a chicken or a dog. After all, this is the territory of their Whitebeard Pirate group, how could the Ghost Hand Pirates act wildly on their territory! Captain this is bad. Third Division Deputy Captain also saw the ship sailing in the distance and the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates, and his face became ugly. As the deputy Captain of the Third Division Support Unit of the Ghost Hand Pirates, he may not know everything there is to know about the Whitebeard Pirates, but he knows enough. The Whitebeard Pirates has a total of nearly 1,600 people which are divided into 16 teams, led by 15 Captains, each Captain is a very powerful and brave figure. In addition to the 16 teams in the group, the Whitebeard Pirates also has 43 New World Subordinates Pirate groups. The Citi Pirates, Black Mist Pirates, and White Blade are just three of them. If one of the pirate regiments under the Whitebeard Pirates is coming, then it would not a big problem, but a Division Captain from the Whitebeard Pirates is coming here and it would cause a big problem for them. Reinforcement of the Whitebeard Pirates Vice-Captain, what shall we do? The look on the faces of the rest of Third Division also changed. In their current situation, there is no chance for them to escape. Once the remaining ships were severely damaged, a large number of people on both sides are entangled together, and there is no chance of separation. Seeing that the Whitebeards ships were getting closer, sweat appeared on the forehead of the Deputy Division Captain of Third Division and for a moment he didnt know what to do. On the ships of Whitebeards regiment. Fifth Division Captain, Flower Sword Vista is standing in the forefront of the deck, looking at the direction of the battlefield distantly. This is really terrible. Are the Ghost Hand Pirates mad? They dare to do whatever they want in our territory a cadre standing behind Vista side exasperated. Vista squinted slightly, saying: No matter how rampant they are, they hurt our companions, we must let them remember that this sea does not belong tho the Ghost Hand Pirates! Chapter 322 Vista And Shillew Of The Rain As the ship gets closer and closer to the battlefield, Vista judges the distance and there is a faint flash of sharpness in his eyes, he suddenly jumps and directly invades the battlefield! Whiz! He landed on the bow of one of the ships on a raised guardrail on the deck, and he jumped up again, flying to the second ship towards the rear and his eyes fell precisely on the Captains of the Black Mist Pirates and the White Blade Pirates fighting against the Third Division Deputy Captain. The Third Division deputy Captain is holding two swords and fighting Black Mist and White Blade. He bathed in blood and roared, trying to get rid of Black Mist and White Blade before Whitebeards ship arrived. But. The difference in strength between the two sides is not large. Even if he ignores his injuries and fights, it will be difficult to defeat Black Mist and White Blade in such a short period of time. And just as he attacked madly and desperately, suppressing the Captains of Black Mist Pirates and White Blade Pirates, a few strange petals suddenly floated from one side. Sii! The petals rubbed across his cheek, instantly leaving a bloodstained wound on his face. He used Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki and perceived that these are not just normal petals as they contain a sharp cutting edge similar to that of a sword! Startled by the sudden change, the Third Division Deputy Captain was suddenly shocked and he immediately turned back and leaped away, avoiding the weird petals that swept over. Captain Vista! When the Captains of the Black Mist Pirates and White Blade Pirates saw the petals, they immediately turned to look at the other side and they saw a man wearing a black cape with a high-top ceremonial hat on his head, and he is holding two swords in his hand. Flower Sword Vista caused the crazy Third Division Deputy Captain to retreat and he stared at him with a strong and calm smile on his face. Whitebeard Pirates, Third Division Captain Flower Sword Vista. The Third Division Deputy Captain also turned to look at Vista, feeling the looming threat that the swordsman in front of him posses and his expressions changed. Vista lowered his blade slowly and said, Do you know me? Under the pressure of Vista, Deputy Division Captain of Third Division did not show any fear and said: It would be strange if I didnt know you. So the subordinate got defeated and the Boss came out? Hearing the words of Deputy Division Captain of Third Division, Vista was not angry, and there was still a smile on his face, but his spirit was suddenly stirred up. He is a swordsman with two swords, but at this moment, he only holds one sword in his right hand. He raises the blade and lays it horizontally in front of him, and says, When an enemy comes to our door, how can we sit still and ignore him? Whiz! In the next moment, Vista rushed forward and slashed his sword towards the Deputy Captain of Third Division, and the petals fluttered everywhere. The Third Division Deputy Captains complexion changed and he unleashed his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki to capture Vistas movements, his two swords stood in front of him, crossed forward, and collided with Vistas blade. Cree! As the sparks splattered, a sharp attack came in, leaving a bloodstain on his shoulder. Your sword arts arent good enough. Vista looked at the Third Division Deputy Captain lightly. He pushes the blade forward with a strong force and immediately caused the Deputy captain to slide back. The gap in strength is revealed in an instant! Vista looked at the Captain of the Third Division who was forced to retreat. The blade in his hand doubled, and a distant sword split out. A huge sword energy erupted in an instant and rushed towards Deputy Captain. You are a hundred years too early to fight against us! Bang! The Third Division Deputy Captain is in a retreat and cannot avoid this sword energy. He can only force his sword to cross in front of him and try to parry it. However, the sword attack still caused him to fly back and he fell into the sea. Vista walked forward holding the sword and he came to the side of the board and looked down at the sea. There were many corpses floating in the seawater, and the figure of the Deputy Division Captain of the Third Division quickly floated out of the water, coughing violently, although he was not seriously injured, but he obviously could not compete with Vista. When Vista was about to go for the kill, he suddenly froze and looked up at the sea in the distance. He saw a large Pirate Ship flying the flag of the Ghost Hand Pirates which was riding in the wind and waves, coming at full speed in this direction! Blueno and others on the battlefield have also seen the ship coming at full speed, and they have all seen the pattern of the pirate flag hanging on the ship. Its the Second Division ship! Captain Shiliew is here! The down spirits were renewed in an instant. Vista still kept the smile on his face, but hesitation appeared in his eyes. He did not expect that the Ghost Hand Pirates would continue to send out reinforcement. This is their territory. Are the Ghost Hand Pirates really planning to fight them in an all-out war?!! Vista didnt do anything for the time being. Although he is not afraid as the Whitebeard Pirates cannot be afraid, but it is not a matter for him to decide to start a full-scale war with the Ghost Hand Pirates. If it can be resolved, the conflict can now be contained within a certain range. One minute Two minutes Three minutes The Second Divisions ship was finally close to the battlefield. Wearing a black cloak, Shiliew stood at the forefront of the deck, looking away from the direction of the battlefield. His face was slanted down and the corners of his mouth were raised slightly, showing his teeth. Whiz! He leaped forward and stepped on Gepp (Moonwalk). After a few vertical strokes, he had already landed on a ship in the battlefield, not far from Vista. Captain Shiliew! The Captain of the Third Division, who was drifting in the sea, screamed when he saw Shiliew. Shiliew turned his back to him and turned his head sideways to glance at him and said, Scott, you look like shit Did this guy do this to you? He held his cigar and looked at Vista. Ghost Hand Pirates, Shiliew of the Rain! Vista looked at Shiliew and slowly said, Ive heard your name a long time ago, but at that time you were still the Warden of the Impel Down. Really? Ive been out of that prison for a long time now. Shiliew is wearing a black cape as he looked at Flower Sword Vista and said: I am now the Second Division Captain of the Totto Land. Vista slowly said: The Ghost Hand Pirates, why did you come to our place to cause trouble, did you plan to give a statement or is it that you are ready to go to war. Shiliew squinted his eyes and said: Did you know what my Captain said? What? Vista sensed the changing momentum of Shiliew and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Shiliew exhaled a cloud of smoke and said with cold light flashing in his eyes. Kill without amnesty! CHAPTER 323 ICE VS FLOWER Whiz! Shiliew pulls his sword out of the sheath and he rushed forward so fast that he left a residual image and instantly charges into Flower Sword Vista. The second-generation Ghost Blade in his hand is wrapped in a cold aura and is suddenly cut off. Flower Sword Vista has been prepared for a long time and his swords are staggered, blocking Shiliews blade. Huh! The two mens swords collided together in an instant, and numerous petals emerging from Void, all of which were frozen into the shape of ice crystals. A bunch of lunatics. The smile on Flower Sword Vistas face froze and he revealed a grim look. Since the other party is determined to fight, then their Whitebeard Pirates wont held back anymore. If the other party wants to fight then they will fight! Nitoryu, instant cut! A flash of cold light flashed in Vistas eyes and he stepped forward and the two swords in his hands staggered, forming a sharp cutting edge. Huh! Shiliew waved his sword to resist the attack, his sword was steady as he blocked Vistas blow. An extremely cold force spread from Shiliews blade, freezing Vistas sword halfway. At this moment, Shiliews black cloak was already covered with a layer of frost. Where he stood, the ships board also condensed into irregular ice flowers, spreading slowly around, leaving ice marks on the board. Is this ice sword art no, this is Devil Fruit! Vista looked at his half-covered frost blade and frowned slightly. He thought that Shiliew was a swordsman with ice-like sword energy, but he was a Devil Fruit user. In their previous collisions, he has already noticed that the gap between the sword arts of Shiliew and him is not great but he does not have the ability of Devil Fruit. If the opponent can perfectly combine the fruit ability and sword arts, then his strength is undoubted above him. Armed! Vista took a deep breath and used his Armament Haki and wrapped it around the blade and instantly sharpened the sword edge, turning the two swords in his hands into a dark color. With the blessing of Armament Haki, the frost-covered on the blade also shattered. Humph. Shiliew snorted and stepped forward with the sword. In the past, his sword-arts were more inclined to killing and brutality, which is different from Fujitoras positive and rigid method that relies on gravity, but now he has begun to do this after the Cold-Cold fruit has been developed to a certain extent. This is his current strong style. Only those who are strong enough can exert the true power of this Battle method. Each move forces the opponent to collide with you directly, and each move can suppress the opposite, getting the opponent to step the opponent into despair step by step! Facing Shiliews sword, Vista was forced to parry the attacks. This pure trick, if he chooses to avoid, Shiliew will immediately make up the second and third sword attack, and he will inevitably fall into a disadvantageous position. For swordsmen who abandon their defense and only attack, once a certain party starts to avoid instead of parrying and counterattack, it means that the balance of the victory and defeat begins to tilt. Huh! Under Shiliews sword weight, Vistas feet sank in the ships floorboard and there was already fragmented shipboard, and an overwhelming squeak came. Shiliew followed the trend and continued to wield his sword and attack without giving Flower Sword Vista any chance to counter-attack. His Cold-Cold fruit and sword arts have reached a state of perfect combination. Today, if he confronts Fujitora again, the difference in their strength is already very small. If it is a fight between life and death, the possibility of his victory is close to 50-50! Captain Vista! Black Mist and White Blade saw Shiliew getting the upper hand and couldnt help but shake. This is the first time they saw a swordsman who could suppress Flower Sword Vista. Vista has always had the idea of ??competing with Hawkeye, but due to the uncertainty of Hawkeyes location, he could not find him and as One of the Division Captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, it is impossible for him to find Hawkeye by roaming in the sea, so it has been put on hold. In the eyes of Black Mist and others, the position of Greatest Swordsman in the World does not necessarily belong to Hawkeye. But now. Vista was so severely suppressed in front of Shiliew of the Rain! Its unbelievable Captain Vista has fallen into a defensive state. Ghost Hand Pirates, Killer, Shiliew of the Rain! Countless people looked at the battlefield where Shiliew and Vista were fighting. When they saw Vista being strongly suppressed by Shiliew of the Rain, they could not help but feel shocked. The people in the Third Division certainly have different thoughts. At this time, they were smirking and looking at the Whitebeard Subordinates Pirates. The numerous subordinates pirates of Whitebeard Pirates felt their heart sink. ! Ghost Hand Pirates Third Division Deputy Captain climbed up from the water, and came to the Black Mist and White Blade and smiled at them before saying: It looks like your Captain is not our Captains opponent. Black Mist and White Blade looked gloomy at him. The Third Division Deputy Captain shook off the water droplets on the blade and looked at Black Mist and White Blade and grinned, Come on! Wheres that confidence you had just now? Unexpectedly, Flower Sword Vista suddenly came and he almost overturned on his side. Fortunately, Shiliew arrived in time and saved them. And now that their support is here. Its time to kill! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! The second divisions deputy Captain led a number of cadres and all members of the Second Division into the battlefield. At the same time, on Vistas ship, many pirates of the Whitebeard group also poured into the battlefield. What had been a lull in the four-hour battle suddenly turned into a larger conflict, and it began to escalate. K ch ! K ch ! Shiliew and Vista smashed the ship and landed on the water, with Vista standing on a piece of wood while Shiliew of the Rain stabbed the blade into the water. Ice source The force of the extreme cold surged into the seawater along the blade of the sword, spreading in all directions, and instantly froze the square kilometer of the sea into a frozen sea ice island! Vista narrowed his eyes and glanced at the ice. You have created a good foothold He smashed the wooden board under his foot and rushed towards Shiliew, trying to take the opportunity to recover the situation around. Nitoryu, Up Stream! The two blades slashed up sharply wrapped in Armament Haki and cut left to right. Shiliew crosses the sword across his body before colliding with Vistas double sword! ! As if the grinding wheel rubbed against the steel, the sparks continued to splash. Nitoryu, Ascend! After the Vista double blade is cut up and picked up vertically, the blade takes another steep turn and is pressed down in both directions again, forming a series of fierce onslaughts. Shiliew was still using his sword to resist the attack and he was calm, he stepped back a bit under Vistas fierce offensive. Ding-Ding Dong! In the blink of an eye, Vista forced Shiliew back four or five steps, but he failed to do any harm to Shiliew as all of his attacks were blocked by Shiliew! Is that all? Shiliew blocked Vistas last attack and the blade was sent forward, pushing Vista out, he looked at him condescendingly and said, Its my turn. With the strength of the Cold-Cold fruit in his body, the consumption of his powers is almost restored. Negative two Hundred! Shiliews eyes flashed with a cold light and he stepped forward and turned into a residual image, and suddenly appeared in front of Vista. In the path he passed, a frost image visible to the naked eye appeared in the air. This is the cold force of Cold-Cold fruit. The frost shadow was formed by freezing the air! Ittoryu, Frost shadow! The sword blade with the cold force suddenly fell! CHAPTER 324 MARCO THE PHOENIX Nitoryu, Cross-Cut! Faced with Shiliews attack, Vista waved his blade to resist the attack while using his Armament Haki to the limit and condensing it on the sword edge and his body, resisting the cold power of Shiliews sword. Sii! The sword edge collided against each other and ice flower petals splashed around. This is not the ice flower petals that was unleashed from any blade it is the result of the collision of the two swords, because of the collision shock, a little ice force leaked into the air, freezing the air and formed a strange scenery. Shiliew slashed with his sword and moved forward step by step, leaving a layer of frost in the air all over the area where his blade passed, it was as if water was thrown into the air in a very cold environment and the water froze in the air and eventually formed ice shadows. Captain Vista When members of the Whitebeard Pirates saw this scene, they couldnt help but feel even more shocked. Some people tried to come up to support him but they couldnt even get closer. Shiliew blew out a cloud of smoke from his cigar and his eyes flashed coldly, the blade in his hand waved suddenly, wrapped in the power of extreme cold, and collided with Vistas double swords, rubbing his blades across. Siii! Sparks and ice petals appeared at the same time. With the force of freezing cold, in conjunction with Shiliews sword power, Vistas blades were briefly suppressed, making it slow to move. Shiliew took the opportunity to kick him. Boom! Vista couldnt avoid this attack and he was hit in the center of his chest with one foot and the flew backward instantly. A frosty footprint appeared on his chest in an instant, and ice began to spread toward the rest of his body. Is the Division Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates amount to only this? Shiliew retracted his legs and stared at Vista with his indifferent eyes. Although this attack will not end this Battle, Vista will undoubtedly fall into a huge disadvantage. Their next fight will probably take less than half an hour and it will end with him being victorious. But. Almost at the moment when Vista flew backward and was about to fall on the ice, a figure suddenly flashed past and appeared behind Vista. Sizzling. A faint blue flames burned and covered Vistas chest which had a clear frost footprint upon it, the blue flame quickly extinguishing the frost footprint. Hmm? Shiliew stared at the new figure and narrowed his eyes slightly. He hasnt seen this flame, but according to the Intelligence Department, this blue flame should belong to only one person in the Whitebeard Pirates. First Division Captain. Marco the Phoenix!! So there is anotheR Division Captain, this is troublesome. Blueno and others looked at the situation from far away and their faces changed suddenly. If it is the Division Captain of the First Division who is second only to Whitebeard himself in the Whitebeard Pirates then there is no doubt that this person is stronger then Vista. In comparison. Although everyone from the Whitebeard Pirates was shocked by Shiliews strength and ability to suppress Flower Sword Vista, they did not show any emotions such as panic, because they knew that there was also Marco!! Thanks, Marco. Vista stood up. Under the influence of Marcos regenerative inflammation, his chest frostbite had basically recovered. Marco, wrapped in blue flames, turned to look in the direction of Shiliew of the Rain and said coldly, The Ghost Hand Pirates are really a group of unreasonable guys. So what? Shiliew spoke indifferently as a flash of red light flashed in his eyes. Marco looked at Shiliew with a cold face and said, The thing you took from us must be returned to us honestly, and then you will get out of our place. Shiliew said coldly, What if I say no? Then thats war! Marco spoke coldly. As the situation has reached to this extent, it is no longer a conflict or something that can be calmed down. This will be an unavoidable war. You can think about it, you can leave here alive. Humph! Shiliew snorted slightly and closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them again, a scarlet and cold sharp edge appeared in his eyes, saying: Then come and have a try! Seeing Shiliew facing himself and Vista while being so arrogant. There was no hint of him putting them in his eyes. There was also a flash of anger in Marcos eyes. Since the Ghost Hand Pirates plan to go to war then they will not retreat either. On this sea, their Whitebeard Pirates has never been afraid of anyone! Bang! The two sides moved at the same time. The blue flames interweave and the deep cold sword tears the ice-bound sea, in the violent Bang, the innumerable ice cracks splashed everywhere. As Captain of the First Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marcos strength is naturally self-evident. His Mythical Zoan ability of the Immortal Beast has given him an immortal body. Unless his stamina is exhausted or the ability is contained, all attacks against him are meaningless! Huh! Huh! Shiliew fought with his sword against Marco and he performed dozens of moves in an instant. In the fierce conflict, Shiliew also noticed Marcos strange abilities. This ability of the undead body has great restraint for the swordsman. A swordsman is someone who abandoned their defense and focuses everything on the existence of the attack. With his immortal body, Marco can ignore the swordsmans strong attack, and at the same time, he can attack the swordsman with low defense. Troublesome ability Shiliews face was dull. If Marco fought against Katakuri than it would be difficult to say who would win between them but he thinks that Marco would have a slight advantage over Katakuri. But he was really frustrated about Marco because of his abilities, not to mention the Flower Sword, Vista next to him. Since it is war, there is nothing more to say. Flower Sword Vista looked at Shiliew fighting with Marco. After a pause, his eyes flashed sharply and he also rushed up. If there is a duel, it will naturally be one-on-one, but this is not a duel, but a war. The purpose of the war is to wipe out all enemies! Siii! Shiliew faced Vistas sword and was forced to fend against it but at the same time, he was also hit by Marco. He flew out to the side and broke the Pirate Ship frozen on the ice and was smashed into the bottom of the ship. A icy force spread from the cave instantly, freezing the entire lower part of the sailing ship into a frost, and the cough of Shiliew of the Rain was heard. Ah two verses one, this will be fun. Shiliews body was covered with frost and slowly walked out of the cave. Flower Sword Vista said calmly: It was a stupid act to wage war on us in our territory! Get ready to face death! CHAPTER 325 I have already said that this is our turf, this is not a place where your Ghost Hand Pirates can act wildly. Marcos eyes narrowed and his mouth curved up a little as he rushed towards Shiliew again without any hesitation. At the same time, Vista also stepped forward. Whiz! Whiz! Shiliew faced two Division Captains alone and one of them had a lot of restrictions on him and he immediately fell into a disadvantageous position and he could only continue to fight. Shiliew still made a mistake while successively parring the attacks. He was grabbed by Marco and was kicked in the shoulder. He rolled over and turned around in the air several times. Ittoryu, One Cut! Shiliew held the hilt of his blade with both hands and he inserted the sword edge into the ground before stopping its body and fully stimulated the power of the Cold-Cold fruit. The entire earth was covered with a layer of frost for a moment and spread out in all directions. Immediately. Shiliew turned up and each and every one of his movements seemed to pour out endless cold. He left a shadow of ice in the void as he moved around. When the sword blade waved out, it left a glow like moonlight. With Shiliews full power burst, Marco and Vistas offensive was slightly blocked. But the strength of the two Division Captain and Shiliew of the Rain are not different from each other, in the case of cooperation, Shiliew alone cannot deal with the two Division Captain no matter what he does, he will fall into a disadvantageous position bit by bit. Siii! Vistas sword energy left a bloodstain on Shiliews left shoulder. Whiz! Marco turned his legs into the blue claws of the Phoenix, leaving a claw print on Shiliews back. Under the joint onslaught of Marco and Vista, Shiliew suffered successive injuries and his body was getting more and more battered. Although these were minor injuries, the further the fight dragged on, the worse the situation became. Because of Marcos special abilities, even if Shiliew wants to attack Vista, it is impossible to defeat Vista first and Marco can always use his body to resist his attacks. Captain Shiliew The members of the Second Division and the Third Division were secretly anxious as they watched this scene, but there was no other way as they couldnt do anything, not to mention the lack of support, even if they can make it, it is difficult to intervene in Shiliew and Marcos fight, they could only look from afar. In comparison, the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirate group are in a strong position. Although the two-on-one situation is a bit disgraceful but they are all pirates and this is a war. There is only victory and loss in war and there is no justice. Kill them! For them to dare to invade our territory, let them see how powerful we are! The Whitebeard Pirates subordinates screamed, wielding weapons to keep attacking the Ghost Hand Pirates. Vista holds the double sword in his hands and he attacked Shillew with one sword after another. Suddenly, Vista moved violently while holding his two swords with both hands, splitting towards Shillews head, planing to cut him in half from head to bottom, the sword burst with mighty power and petals were flying everywhere. Shiliew could not escape this situation and he was forced to resist the coming attack with his sword. The huge unprotected gap in his chest was suddenly seized by Marco. Bang! Under Marcos foot, Shiliews body was bent into a bow shape as he flew backward, falling hundreds of meters away, and he coughed out blood from his mouth. If it is a Marine Admiral with Logia Devil Fruit such as Aokiji or Akainu, even if they were injured, it will not be serious for them, but for a swordsman such as Shiliew of the Rain, the damage of this attack isnt something that he can easily disregard. Although this blow alone will not cause serious injuries but if he took attacks like this a few more times, it will inevitably be unbearable. Have you given up yet? Marco looked at Shiliew who was standing upright again. With Shiliews strength, if he wants to leave, he and Vista may not be able to stop him, but looking at Shiliew of the Rain standing there, there is no intention to leave. It would be too late for Shillew if he wants to leave after being injured and if the two Division Captains let an injured Shillew escaped from them than they wouldnt have any face left to face their Captain. One to two, you have no chance of winning. Marco continued. Shiliew of the Rain loosened the hilt of his sword with his left hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and lowered his face slightly, but suddenly there was a heart wrenching smile on his mouth. Really? One-on-two wont win, but what if it was not one-on-two. When Shiliews words fell, Marco frowned slightly and he became consciously aware of something as he turned his head and looked back. He saw two large Pirate Ships appeared in his line of sight and these two ships were heading towards the frozen Iceland and they were only a kilometer away. The two ships have the flag of the Ghost Hand Pirates hung on it! Reinforcements coming again? Marcos face suddenly changed. Vista also frowned and said, This is trouble, but Father should also be on the way. Quickly. The ship approached the ice island and a human body flickered from the ship and turned into a thunderbolt and disappeared. When it appeared again, it was already on the battlefield. The figure was wearing a black cloak, and there was a faint arc of thunder fading up and down his body. Thunder Giant, Hajrudin! You look a little beat up, Captain Shiliew. Hajrudin looked at Shiliew who had many wounds on his body. Shiliew of the Rain said, I wont die yet. Here comes a tough guy Marco looked at Hajrudin who suddenly appeared on the battlefield, his face faintly dimmed as he naturally knew the name of Thunder Giant. And with the speed that Hajrudin had shown just now, he is definitely a very troublesome figure. Creak! Creak! Creak! From a distance came the sound of a wooden pole and wooden shoes on the ice. They saw Fujitora in a black cloak, holding a wooden pole in his hand as he walked slowly towards this side. Although his movements were slow and he showed no momentum, his very presence gave people an feeling of oppression and palpitations. Its really troublesome now. Vistas expression became ugly. The First Division Captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates, Isshou, bounty One Billion Berries! Although this bounty is not as good as Shiliews, the First Division is undoubtedly in front of the Second Division and Fujitora joined the Ghost Hand Pirates much later, and for such a person who joined late but still holds a position next to the Captain, he is undoubtedly powerful!! He will be much trickier than Shiliew! One moment it was two against one on their side and they had the absolute advantage. Now it was three against two and they were in trouble. We met for the first time, let me introduce myself, Totto Lands First Division Captain .. Isshou. Fujitora came towards Marco and Vista holding a wooden pole and he spoke quietly and slowly. He opened his eyes that were without pupils and only showed white eyes but he still looked in the direction of Marco and Vista. Although the Devil Fruit was found in your territory, Devil Fruit has always belonged to the person who had discovered it. So, can you please give in a little bit. Marco chuckled. If not? Fujitora slowly put the wooden pole in front of him, holding the handle of the pole in one hand, and slowly pulling out his blade and said, Then I can only remove the two of you by force. Chapter 326 Whitebeard Comes When Fujitora was talking, Shiliew and Hajrudin didnt talk. When Ross was absent, Fujitora represented the Ghost Hand Pirates and had a status similar to Vice-Captain. Although he could not decide some major events, he ranked ahead of them. Buzz !! As Fujitoras voice fell, the sword in his hand waved. The power of the Gravity Fruit was instantly inspired by him, spreading from the rod blade and shot into the unknown sky. After a few seconds, the end of the sky flashed with a bright light. A Meteorite fell! Meteorite? Marco and Vista looked up into the sky, both with a hint of shock in their eyes. This is the first time that they had seen Fujitoras ability. Before, they had just guessed that Fujitora was a troublesome character. Now it seems that there is no need to guess. This person may be even more troublesome than they had expected! Vista, step back! Marco took a deep breath and immediately made his choice. The two-to-three situation is extremely detrimental to him and Vista, and any type of confrontation is obviously not the right approach them. Whiz! Whiz! Marco and Vista quickly retreated tens of meters away. Fujitoras Observation Haki clearly captured the movements of these two people. He moved his head slightly and waved his sword in their direction. The meteorite changed the trajectory of its fall under the action of gravity and continued to move in the direction of the two. Dii! Seeing that they could not escape the falling meteorite, Marco could only roar while bathing himself in blue flames and turned into the full form of a Pheonix and charged into that meteorite. At the same time, Vista also raised the two swords in his hands and waved, cutting the meteorite from the center into two parts. Bang! The meteorite that was cut in half was shattered by Marco, and the rest fell on the Iceland surface, and immediately made this small ice island with a radius of nearly a kilometer fragmented! The aftermath swayed in all directions, and the war on the battlefield was contained for an instant. All of them could only keep their bodies still and standing in a difficult way, instead of sliding down the ice into the sea. You used too much excessive force, Isshou. Shiliew stood on the sloping ice surface as he looked at the torn ice island and spoke to the expressionless Fujitora, he then stabbed into the sea with his sword. Buzz !! The Cold-Cold fruits ability stimulated and the crushed ice island was frozen again. Im sorry, I forgot that this isnt on an actual island. Fujitora touched the back of his head and responded apologetically, but Shiliew didnt buy it. There is no way that Fujitora would be so careless. Just as Shiliew was talking to Fujitora, Hajrudin turned into a thunderbolt and came into the air, looking at Marco and Vista, and raised his hand sharply. One Hundred Million Volts, lightning strike! Crackling! With a wave of Hajrudins arm, a few thick, thunder-like rays of light suddenly emerged from the sky, violently splitting towards Marco and Vista. Marco and Vista just blocked Fujitoras blow and their faces didnt look very good in the face of Hajrudins attack. Whiz! Shiliew was too lazy to talk to Fujitora and rushed forward, charging into Marco and Vista. He was bullied by the two just now, and he must return the favor. Huh! Shiliew split out and his sword energy interspersed with thunder and cut to Vista. Vista was forced to defend with his sword, but he resisted the thunder and resisted Shiliews attack. Obviously, he couldnt stop all it all. The power of Frost struck his arm along the blade of the sword, making him stunned, he felt as if he took a sip of ice water in the hot summer. Kill without amnesty. Shiliew looked indifferent and continued to attack with his sword. Under Hajrudin, Fujitora and Shiliews attack, Marco and Vista were rapidly losing their ground, and the situation for them got even worse when they faced Shiliew previously. In a short time, Marco was blown up in flames and Vista was flying backward, his face scorched by lightning. If Marco had not resisted some of the attacks for him, his condition would have been worse. But. Even if Marco has the ability of a Pheonix, he cant be infinitely recovered. His stamina will be consumed by a lot and once his Stamina is exhausted, it is tantamount to him being finished. The ability of the Zoan fantasy beast Devil Fruit is even rarer than Logia. Fujitora sensed Marcos condition and his eyebrows moved slightly. Marco didnt respond. He looked gloomy, knowing that the situation is very bad. He has enough stamina to shelter Vista at a critical time, but once his stamina runs out, he will be slaughtered. Whiz! Whiz! Shiliew and Hajrudin continued to attack without any pause. After a few people had a fierce battle, Marco and Vista flew out again. Bang! Marco and Vista fell on the ice and splashed the ice cubes into the ice, almost breaking the ice island again. There was a bloodstain on the corner of Vistas mouth this time. Obviously, even if Marco had the ability not to die, it would not be possible for him to stop all injuries in front of Fujitora, Shiliew of the Rain and Hajrudin. However. Just as Shiliew rushed to the edge of the shattered ice field to continue his attacks on Marco and Vista who were embedded in the ice layer, a figure rushed quickly against the ice surface. Shiliews Observation Haki sensed someones movements and blocked the attack with his sword. The man did not repel Shiliew, but the unknown person was extremely flexible, turning like a feather in the air and falling smoothly onto the ice. Ah, to hurt them, you have to go through me first. The man had an orange Pompadour hairstyle, a scar on the left side of his left eye, and he looked at Shiliew with a smile on his face. His smile carried the confidence and perseverance of the strong. Whitebeard Pirates, Fourth Division Captain, Thatch! Gravity Blade! Fujitora was aware of Thatchs appearance. He sank slightly and clenched the handle of his sword and a violent gravity condensed on the blade, and he swung it out. Buzz!! The entire empty space in front of him seemed to be Distorted under the explosion of gravity. This blade did not have any trajectory of the blade light, so it irresistibly attacked Thatch. But almost at this time, a figure slammed against gravity blade while roaring, the ice under his feet shattered and his arms trembled in the end. This persons body was crystal clear, shining with diamonds. Captain Jozu! The Whitebeard Pirates showed ecstasy. Captain Thatch and Captain Jozu both appeared that is to say Someone looked up into the distance and as far as they could see, several ships bearing the Whitebeard Pirates flag appeared on the sea. One of them was the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, Moby Dick! Call Marco shattered the ice and broke free from the ice and fell beside Thatch and Jozu, staring at Shiliew of the Rain and others: I didnt expect the other partys support to come so fast. Fortunately, we came here on time. The sword flashed and the ice layer shattered as Vista jumped out of it. The four people looked at Fujitora and Shiliew from a distance, but they did not attack again and looked sideways to the rear. There. On the ship of Moby Dick, a figure held Bisento and stepped forward from the rear of the deck. The Bisento paused on the deck and made a dumb depressing sound. The figure with Bisento came to the front of the deck and stopped, he didnt exude any momentum and didnt have any fierce wicked expression, but the presence excluded by this person while standing there with an indifferent expression frightened everyone. The strongest man in the world. Whitebeard Edward Newgate! Chapter 327 Ross Vs Whitebeard Whitebeard Looking at the figure on Moby Dicks deck, whether it was Shiliew or Fujitora or others, they felt pressure from their very basic survival instinct. It is not the influence of Haoshoku Haki, nor is it the influence of any type of momentum, it is just the name of the Worlds Strongest that has shaken the sea for decades! Father! Father is here. The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirate looked at Whitebeard who appeared on the battlefield and they couldnt help showing deep awe and admiration. Whitebeard is expressionless as his eyes swept across the battlefield. He glanced at his deadly wounded subordinates and his eyes continued to roam around the battlefield and finally fell on some people such as Fujitora and Shiliew of the Rain. Did you guys enjoyed what you did? He didnt look angry as he looked at Fujitora and Shiliew and said, Devil Fruit or anything is a trivial matter, but to hurt my childrens like this. How are you going to explain this to me Ghost Hand! As his voice fell, Whitebeard looked up at the sky. They saw a shadow slowly falling from the sky, it is a Pirate Ship! When Pirate Ship landed on the ice, the figure standing in the forefront of the deck was clearly visible on the battlefield. He was wearing a black cloak and looked pale. Yonk (Four Emperors)! Ghost Hand Ross! Its your people who hurt my men, Whitebeard. Ross stood at the forefront of the deck, looking at Whitebeard calmly, and said, Dont you think that you should be the one to give me an explanation. The air was silent. Whitebeard stares at Ross for a few seconds. Instead of being angry, he laughs. The laughter was overbearing. Gurararara, I havent encountered such a crazy kid for many years. With his voice falling, a spirit of deterrence sprang up from Whitebeard. Even the ordinary pirates looked intimidated as they looked at Whitebeard from a distance! With Whitebeards momentum, Rosss expression remained unchanged. So, what do you want me to explain? Whitebeard stopped laughing. He held the Bisento in his hand and looked at Ross, his voice filled with wild and domineering might and his Haoshoku Haki was looming around him. Rosss face remained unchanged and his eyes were dull: The Devil Fruit was discovered by my people. It belongs to us. As for the injuries to my men, you can use your territory to make up for them, The Fishman Island. With Rosss voice falling, Marco, Vista, and others eyes were filled with anger. If this wasnt a conversation between Whitebeard and Ross, they would have been unable to hold back and would have already rushed towards him. You want the Fishman Island. Whitebeard heard Rosss words and grinned again, but this time his laughter gave people the feeling of falling into an ice cellar, and his momentum was vaguely like a volcano that was about to erupt. Rosss words made it clear that he didnt want to talk more. Since Ross doesnt want to talk, then Whitebeard naturally wouldnt talk nonsense. As a legend that ruled the sea for decades, his reputation is piled up with countless bones! If you want to go to war, lets go to war. What there to fear! His laughter ceased. Whitebeard looked down at Ross and said in a cold tone: Are you lying in bed and talking in a dream?! You want me to give you the Fishman Islan as compensation, did you hit your head, let me experience your skills and then we will talk about it! When his voice fell, Whitebeards left hand fisted suddenly and a white halo circled above his left fist, and he immediately punched in the direction of Ross. Bang! This punch hit the empty space in front of him, making the atmosphere suddenly appear like cracks in the mirror and a terrifying shock power suddenly burst out, and hit in front of him. Everywhere it went, it was just the invasion of the aftermath of the main attack, and the ice surface began to crack. The invisible shock force fell like a mountain that was irresistible! Insignificant skill. Ross opened his mouth and said in a calm tone. He punched in the direction of the shock. The Void Distorted around his right fist and it began to show a strange arc of Distortion. This punch hits the empty space and the entire space in front of him starts to collapse. Bang! The power of distortion and the force of the shock, collided against each together. Not good! Be careful. Although Marco and others are not in the middle of Whitebeard and Rosss air-borne attack but they were also in the scope of the attack impact radius. With almost no hesitation, everyone immediately retreated toward the distance. Bang Rumble! With the shocking attention of countless people, the Void between Ross and Whitebearddistorted like a dough and the terrifying aftermath erupted, which instantly caused the square-kilometer ice surface to collapse from the center, like a spider net that is generally spreading in all directions! Some pirates in the vicinity were rolled back without resistance as if wrapped in a storm, and they were unable to scream. The aftermath swept open in all directions. Even Fujitora and others looked grim and steadied themselves in the aftermath. The ice surface continued to collapse and shatter and the entire ice island trembled violently, the seawater continued to surge as if it was about to completely collapse. Shiliews face changed slightly and his blade was inserted into the ice again, which stimulated the power of Cold-Cold fruit and he began to continued to freeze the ice and increased the thickness of the ice to maintain the existence of this battlefield. Bang! !! !! After some time, the aftermath of the attack finally dissipated. In the central area where ??Ross and Whitebeard were became a no mans land. Although the ice surface was constantly frozen by Shillews power, it still showed a large area of ??spider web-like cracks. Pirates in all directions are even rolled out by the aftermath and fell hundreds of meters away! You do have some power. Whitebeard slowly retracted his left arm while staring at Ross, he squinted his eyes slightly. Ross also retracted his right fist while his face remained unchanged as he said, I am not that old that I wouldnt be able to move. Gurararara Even if you were too old to move, you are not the kind of kid who can only suck the milk! Whitebeards face was filled with pride as he held the Bisento in his right hand and laying it horizontally in front of him, holding the handle with both hands, and suddenly splitting it towards Ross. With the shock from Bisento, the attack range is even greater! If the previous blow was just a warm-up move, then in this blow, Whitebeard has already shown his true strength. One attack. Cracked the atmosphere! !! CHAPTER 328 WHITEBEARD STRENGTH Whitebeards Bisento split off the shock force and it hasnt even fallen, the power behind that attack makes people feel their breath getting stagnated as if a huge mountain is collapsing down which is unstoppable! It is now 18 years of the Great Age of Pirates, and there are four years to go before the War Of The Best. Whitebeard is 68 years old now. For ordinary people, this is already an old age, but for Whitebeard, even though he could not display the power he could in his youth but he still has the power to make the whole sea fear him! Bang! Facing Whitebeards attack, Ross pulled out his sword and wrapped the blade in power of distortion and cut across the empty space in front of him in an instant, splitting the space in front of him in half. The space in front of him was split, and the force of shock was naturally split apart crossing from both sides of Ross leaving him unharmed. Let me see how much strength you have today, Whitebeard. Ross held the hilt of his sword in his hand and he stepped forward and took a single step across space and came toward Whitebeard. He grasped the blood-red Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand and attacked. Bang! Whitebeard moved his Bisento to meet the coming sword. Cursed Blade Murasame and Whitebeards giant Bisento collided against each other. The slender blade looked small compared to the giant Bisento but it held enormous power and it was as heavy as mountain peaks. It trembled and the entire space around it also trembled with it. The Moby Dick under Whitebeards feet has been frozen on the ice island. Under the blow from Ross, the entire ship sank almost ten meters in an instant and the ice surface cracked! Buzz !! The aftermath of this attack swept open in all directions. Some of the Whitebeard Pirates cadres on Moby Dick as well as Captains of the lower rankings were forced to retreat under the aftermath of this blow. The terrifying sound produced by the sword and Bisento collision alone is terrifying, they dont qualify to intervene in such battle, even if looking at this scene from a distance, they only feel their heart palpitate! Bang! After a terrifying bang, Rosss body was pushed back into the air ten meters away. Better than I thought. In these three collisions, he roughly judged Whitebeards strength. It was at least twenty years after the Great Age of Pirates that Ace boarded Whitebeards ship, which is two years from now. At that time, Ace couldnt hurt Whitebeard even in his sleep which displayed some of his strength. The current Whitebeard has not entered a period of rapid decline in his strength due to the injuries which would happen two years later and his strength is not inferior to his peak strength from some years ago. Able to react with ease to a blow from Ross across space, able to deflect a blow from Ross that is close to his full strength. He is fast, his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki is at the top, his Armament Haki is at the top, his physique, Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) attacks are beyond terrifying, except for the current Ross, no one is on par with Whitebeard in terms of pure attack force! A little strength. The muscles on Whitebeards arms eased as he looked at Ross in the sky, and said, But if this is it, you still wont be able to win against me! When his voice fell, Whitebeard leaped up while holding his Bisento in both hands and he attacked Rosss head with it wrapped in a terrifying shock force! The Power of distortion has the power to affect peoples arms and body, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) is also this type of ability, with nearly the same characteristics. In other words. There was no such thing as the Distortion Fruit growing stronger and stronger before Whitebeard, and once he had the upper hand, he would be able to drive the enemy all the way to his death. Winning or losing will depend in their strength! Bang! Shock and Distortion collide again. The entire sky seemed to be torn apart under this blow. The Haoshoku Haki on Whitebeard emerged irresistibly and swallowed Ross. The Haoshoku in Ross body was also unwilling to surrender and it rushed out and stir up the conflict! In todays sea, apart from Red Hair Shanks, Ross and Whitebeards Haoshoku is arguably the best. Under the conflict of Haoshoku, dense dark clouds appeared and turned into a terrifying vortex, the entire world seemed to have divided into two! Crackling! Haoshokus conflict broke out and countless black thunders also emerged from the empty space. This is a shocking picture that is formed by two Haoshoku Haki conflicting with each other. Haoshoku Haki Marco and the others looked at the sky from a distance, and their faces were all a little solemn. Although the two waves of HaoshokuHaki were in opposition to each other, they could not show any expression of relief in the face of such a threat. Of course, no one was surprised that Ross had Haoshoku Haki. A Yonk (Four Emperors) without the Haoshoku Haki would be a strange thing. Well done. Shiliew of the Rain relights his cigar and he looked at Ross and Whitebeard He took a deep breath and exhales the smoke, and turns to look in at Marco and others. There was a glint of blood and fury in his eyes. Its time to kill these guys, too. With Shiliews words falling, Fujitora and the others all looked back from Ross and Whitebeard and turned to look at Marco and the other captains. Marco and others noticed the eyes of Fujitora and others and turned their heads. Under the banner of Ghost Hand Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates, the top combat force just stands on the ice tens of meters apart, facing each other at a distance, constantly raising the momentum. Step, step, step, The Whitebeard Pirates Sixth Division Captain and the Seventh Division Captain, and others all jumped out of the ship as the fight between Whitebeard and Ross started and they walked to the side of Marco and others and got together. At the same time, Ficheux Erman, Laffitte, and other Ghost Hand Pirates wearing black capes also walked to the side of Fujitora and others. The two sides have not yet started, and the conflict between the momentum has already made the air in the field extremely heavy, making countless people afraid to breathe. The people on the Ross side all wore black cloaks and the blackness was in a line, and it seemed to be in a line of power. Though there were not as many of them as Whitebeards fifteen captains, the power was better! In comparison. Although the Whitebeard Pirate regiment was scattered, as the Captain of Whitebeard subordinates, all of them had experienced numerous battles and were senior cadres of the top forces in the sea. No one showed any cowardice. Call Marco exhaled and said with a hint of indifference in his eyes, Lets show these guys what happens when someone hurts our companions! Kill! No one knows who shouted but the momentum of the two sides continued to rise and finally broke out like a landslide. Fujitora, Shiliew of the Rain, Ficheux Erman, Hajrudin Everyone from the Ghost Hand Pirates all moved together and stepped forward. And at the same time. Many Captains, such as Marco, Jozu, Thatch, and Vista, also rushed out at this moment, and their faces showed self-confidence and anger. It has started There are some ordinary pirates from the Whitebeard Pirates and some ordinary members of several teams under the Ghost Hand Pirates and they all murmured, with a slight tremor in their tone. This trembling was not fear, but tension and excitement as their blood surged. Ghost Hand Pirates vs Whitebeard Pirates. A full-scale War just broke out! CHAPTER 329 FIERCE COMBA In the sky, some kilometers away from the ice island, a white bird with a Video Den Den Mushi on its head is constantly filming the battlefield. The situation here is also transmitted to the Marine and World Government in real-time. At the moment. The whole of Marine Headquarters was solemn and was under the highest degree of martial law, and the Marine elite lined up in the square directly below the fort, ready to go at any moment. Ahrara, sure enough, there was a fight. In the top office, Aokiji leaned back in his chair and spoke. Do you want me to go, Sengoku? Kizaru tilted his head and looked at Fleet Admiral Sengoku, but he didnt want to go there, Ross is the only Yonk (Four Emperors) that he didnt want to encounter now. Sengoku looked at the slightly blurred picture in deep thought when all of a sudden an aftershock came from the battlefield and the picture collapsed and disappeared. The battlefield where Yonk (Four Emperors) clashes is not so easy to monitor. Ghost Hand and Whitebeard are fighting, no matter whether we can catch this opportunity or not, we cant remain indifferent. Akainu sat there, speaking with a serious expression. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for Marines to annihilate a Yonk (Four Emperors). Any of the forces of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates cannot be destroyed by casually dispatching one or two Admiral. It is concluded that it is possible to destroy them with great force, and this is only just to defeat, but if they want to kill them than it would be more difficult. But. If Yonk (Four Emperors) fought against each other, this would undoubtedly create an excellent opportunity for them. Once both Whitebeard and Ross are defeated, there is hope that they can destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates or they could even destroy both Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates at the same time for a fraction of the cost! Good. Fleet Admiral Sengoku nodded loudly. It is impossible to be unmoved by such opportunities. Marine had seized many of the seas strongest existence, and some of those people had even been able to compete against Whitebeard and Roger in there peak days, but Marine had defeated them all. A big part of it was because they fought against each other and gave Marine a chance. Sakazuki, Borsalino, you are responsible for this operation, set off immediately for Etwall, Stuart Potter sea. The news that the Whitebeard Pirates and the Ghost Hand Pirates were fighting against each other was quickly spread to all major forces after about half a day. It is no surprise to many leaders that the two sides are at war. Neither Ross nor Whitebeard seems likely to concede. But. No one can predict the consequences of this war. Bang! Bang! Bang! Expanding to a few kilometers of ice island, Bangs humming sound continued to blast. Fujitora fought against Marco the Pheonix, he relied on the power of gravity and absolute strength to steadily occupy the fight and Marco could not seek any advantage and could only defend. Shiliew was supposed to deal with Flower Sword Vista but he was blocked by Diamond Jozu. Needless to say, the defense of Jozus Armament Haki and Diamond Fruit is difficult. Even Shiliew has difficulty breaking hiss defense, but the cold-cold fruit of Shiliew still prevailed. Ficheux Erman and Thatch faced off against each other, both of them are flexible characters and they are vaguely comparable in terms of power. Sii! Flower Sword Vistas swords split out a sword energy and towards Hajrudin s huge body. However, Hajrudins Kenbonshoku (Observation) had already captured Vistas attack, and his body had been turned into a thunderbolt a while ago, he used his Logias form change to avoid Vistas slash. Immediately. Hajrudins figure flickered in front of Vista, holding a huge Thunder Tomahawk in both hands, and slashing at Vista. Due to the extremely fast speed, Vista couldnt avoid this attack. His two swords were crossed in front of him and the petals were flying as he defended against Hajrudins Thunder Tomahawk. The swords and axes clashed and made a loud bang. Snee! Vistas sword edge cut through the Thunder axe, but the terrifying thunder stream also attacked him and his hair and clothes exuding a little scorched smell. I didnt expect you to be so tough. There is a habitual smile on Vistas face, but it is not an easy one. He thought that Hajrudins body was so large that he could easily catch his flaw and defeat him but unexpectedly, Hajrudins Kenbonshoku (Observation) was extremely strong and his speed was too fast. After a fierce battle, he fell behind slightly. ROOM! Shambles! Law released Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits ability. His figure appeared behind a Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. He swung his sword planning to split the Captain in half. The Captain avoided the danger with a faint cold sweat on his brow. Cuerpo Fleur(Body Flower) Nine Body. Robin faced dozens of whitebeard pirates subordinates and her eyes flickered, her arms staggered in front of her and petals fluttered, and eight doppelg?ngers were created. Each doppelg?nger can use Armament Haki and they charge into the Whitebeard subordinates. Well, dont get distracted. Laffitte got close to a Captain and his Red wooden cane almost ran through his shoulder and the Captain was barely able to stop him. Compared to the Ghost Hand Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates are still more powerful. The mid and low-level combat power of the Whitebeard subordinates is stronger than the seven sub-teams that Rosss subordinates formed. But. Ross has a thousand weapons of war on his side! Sandstorm! The lower half of Rode, the giant of sand, turns into quicksand, and the upper half also presents a sand-like shape, creating a large area of sand on the ice island, he roared and rushed past carrying the sand. Wherever he went, the sand set off terrifying sand waves that were tens of meters high, crushing and devouring everything in front. Steel The giant soldier! The steel giant stands on the battlefield, with a body that is tens of meters high, giving people a sense of depression and fear. Countless people keep firing guns at him but the bullets were completely useless against his body and they only created a small spark. A lower-ranked Captain came forward with a sword and slashed on the calf of the Iron Giant. However. When he retracted his sword and backed up, there was only a tiny indentation on the steel forged calf. To the giant, this would was similar to a wound created by a needle. The iron giants fruit development level is not as good as Crackers biscuit fruit or Hajrudins Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but his body is harder and it is comparable to Seastone! Coupled with his Armament Haki at Proficiency level, it is extremely difficult to hurt him. Damn The Captain saw that his attack had little effect and the steel giant was still running rampant on the battlefield and could not help showing a distress expression. He is massive and is made of steel. How did the Ghost Hand Pirates created such a troublesome monster! CHAPTER 330 TWISTS VS SHAKE Just when the Giant Corps showed their great power and Captains and the cadres of the Whitebeard Pirates were suffering from it, a dark shadow suddenly appeared on the distant sea. The shadow was getting closer and closer and it finally came to the edge of the ice island. After crushing the thin ice layer at the edge, the shadow finally set foot on the ice island, exposing an extremely large body. Even a giant looked like a child in front of him! Oh-oh, hes finally here. Little Oars Jr.! The Whitebeard Pirates looked at the dark shadow and revealed a joyfull and smiling expression, and they all cheered for a while. At this time, Ghost Hand Pirates eyes also fell on the shadow and their expressions changed. Thats a bit oversized. Ficheux Erman opened his mouth as the expressions on his face changed, the Giants were already too huge. This Little Oars Jr. is bigger than the Giants! Although such a large body is a living target for his existence but to deal with ordinary people, this size has an absolute size and strength advantage! To kill our companions, unforgivable! Little Oars Jr. stood there like a giant mountain overlooking the battlefield and roared that shook a hundred miles sea around them. He rushed forward and every single step he took made the Ice island made by Shillew shake violently. He rushed towards the Steel Giant and raised his gigantic machete with both arms and cut it down. Huh! The great strength brought by his huge body made his sword carry a terrible force. Under the blade, he stabbed the Steel Giants head into his chest. Ah ah ah! The Steel Giant was cut, but he was not injured. He is a special Paramecia Metal attribute fruit ability user. Even if Oars has such a strong power, he cant do any damage to him without Haki. The huge sword, which was stabbed into his chest, was held by Metal Giants hands. With a loud roar, he broke out with amazing power and even tried to turn Little Oars Jr. over. Woo-oh-oh-oh-oh! Little Oars Jr. noticed the opponents strength and could not help but burst out with a roar. This is the first time that someone had dared to fight him with only physical power. His arms tightened around the hilt of the blade and a terrifying force broke out as he held down the huge sword and pressed it, trying to split Metal Giant completely. The stalemate between two powerful people stopped everyone nearby and they couldnt help but held their breath for a while. Kch! The sound of steel crumbling spread across the battlefield. Under the pressure of Little Oars Jr. and Metal Giant, the huge sword could not support its own weight and it was snapped by the force! Sii! At this point, a translucent Iron Wall in the shape of a big giant rushes in and slams into Little Oars right leg. Little Oars was hit by the translucent wall and took two steps backward. He barely fell down. In his anger, he pulled out his big hand and slammed it on the Iron Wall giant, and slammed it into Metal Giant. Kuang! Kuang! Kuang! The blast was so powerful that the entire ice island shook, but when Oars stopped, the Metal Giant and the Iron Wall were unharmed. The abilities of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit are absolute unless its the top-level Armament Haki or any Devil Fruit with restraining abilities, the defense of the Barrier Barrier Fruit is absolute. Not so good. The Metal Giant grinned and snarled while charging into Little Oars Jr. Entangled by the Giant Corps, even if Oars was even more powerful, it would be difficult for him to pass the Giant and attack ordinary members of the Ghost Hand Pirates. Just as the two sides fought, several loud noises broke out in the middle of the ice island. Call! The lingering aftermath was like a storm, which caused countless people to be shocked. Distortion fist! Ross held the hilt of his sword horizontally in his left hand and folded his fingers with his right hand into a fist and directly punched Whitebeard. Whitebeard showed no panic and he stands erect with a calm look in his eyes showing that he is still above everyone in this sea. He is the strongest and he punched back. Bang! !! The empty space in front of him shattered. Rosss power of distortion falls and the empty space in front of him seems to turn into a vortex and the fall of Whitebeards fist also makes space seem to be shattered and the earth is shaking. At this moment, Whitebeards strength is not much different from his peak strength, needless to say, Whitebeards Battle skills are honed from countless bloody battles. They are not as bold as Kaido, nor as unskillful as BIGMOM. Compared to the War Of The Best, even after getting stabbed in the back by his own son and taking the attacks of Akainu and Kizaru, he was still strongnot to mention now, right now Whitebeard in this state is undoubtedly terrifying! But. Rosss power is just as amazing! If it was when Ross fought against Kaido, he would probably not have been Whitebeards opponent, but now he has improved a lot compared to the time when he fought against Kaido, especially in attack powers which is not less than Whitebeard at the moment! Bang! The bright light flashes. Ross shook his body and stepped back, while Whitebeard also stuck to the ground with his Bisento, holding his body in shape. Whitebeard looked calm on the surface and didnt speak, but he still sighed in his heart, he was getting old. No one can stand on top forever. His Armament Haki is one point stronger than Ross, but the power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) can no longer withstand the wanton power outbreak of the youth in front of him, his Devil Fruit Powers are a little worse than Ross. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Ross today to face him equally, and he would be suppressed by him. Crack Cut! Ross is also very clear about Whitebeards state at this moment. Compared with the old Whitebeard, his young heart is surging and he is strong, he holds the sword in both hands and steps forward. Suddenly, his body was divided into six and he appeared in six different directions of Whitebeard at the same time. Insignificant skill. Whitebeard snorted and put his Bisento on the ice without any panic. Facing Ross in six directions, he turned his fists out and gave a sharp blow to both sides. Kch! His fist fell into the air as if it were shattering glass, but it seemed to strike against the substance, giving the atmosphere the appearance of ice shattering, and the force of shock broke out in all directions. Bang Bang Bang! Six bangs went off almost at the same instant. After blocking Rosss tactics with all-round attacks, Whitebeard immediately spread his hands and held the Bisentos handle, and waved fiercely at the empty space in front of him. There, Rosss figure just emerged. But. Whitebeard captures the position and movement of Ross with his top Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki but Ross has the ultimate Kenbonshoku (Observation) of Future Prediction! Ross, who had long foreseen Whitebeards move tilted to the side at the moment of his appearance, avoiding Whitebeards bisento and at the same time swiped his elbow in the direction of Whitebeard. Buzz !! The empty space in front of him collapsed by the power of distortion. Whitebeard couldnt withdraw his Bisento anymore and he had no time to throw a punch and was forced to fight with his arms. Boom During Rosss attack, Whitebeard shivered and stepped back and for a single moment, it looked as if Ross had the upper hand! CHAPTER 331 PEAK BATTLE Father! How is this possible Seeing that Whitebeard was repelled by Ross, many of the Whitebeard pirates were shocked, and some people had a look of shock and disbelief in their eyes. This is the first time that theyve seen someone who can fight back Whitebeard in a one-on-one situation! Except for Ross, even Hundred Beast Kaido couldnt do it. When Hundred Beast Kaido came to Whitebeard to fight him one-on-one, he was suppressed by Whitebeards terrifying fist, and it was almost impossible to fight Whitebeard in a one versus one situation. Fathers body Marco noticed Whitebeards direction and his eyes also changed, showing a little worry. As a doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates, he is the one who is most aware of Whitebeards physical condition. However, although Whitebeard has not reached the critical point of unbearable internal injuries, there is no doubt that he could not utilize his peak strength! Whitebeard is getting old after all! If it was twenty years ago, no one would have had the power to make him take a step back. Marco clenched his fists. On the field. After being repelled by Ross, Whitebeard didnt show any surprise. Instead, he clenched the Bisento and shouted and slashed it sharply at Ross. To this point, he has experienced too many battles. He was not always invincible, but he has reached the strongest position in countless battles. When did it start, the time when everyone around him started to call him the strongest? Whitebeard has forgotten. He only knew that when he was young, he had failed many times and he was even defeated, but in the end, all the enemies fell to his feet. Kch! Whitebeards Bisento fell and the empty space in front of him shattered like glass, and the shock force hit Ross. Ross was not afraid and he also split the shock force with his sword. Above the blade, there is a distortion of power visible to the naked eye. Under the sword, the atmosphere that was torn by Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) is destroyed by Distortion! The glass-like crack, under the power of distortion, looks similar to a line and they got distorted and squeeze before collapsing in Void. Bang! The aftermath swayed and the ice surface shattered. Ross stepped forward and instantly crossed the space and came to Whitebeards body, and raised his hand towards Whitebeard. Buzz !! Gravity Distortion suddenly swoops over Whitebeard. Whitebeard instantly became unstable and he leaped up after stabilizing himself, flying towards Ross. Shrouded by a strange power, Whitebeard didnt panic. His eyes sank as his right arm clenched into a fist in the air, and he swings it. Kch! He punched the empty space in front of him and the Void shattered again. Faced with Whitebeards shock power, Ross also threw out a punch. Distortion and Shock collided again, and each encounter produces an earth-shattering roar. After blocking Whitebeards shock fist, Ross waved his sword and Whitebeard who was in the air could only wave his Bisento to cut Rosss attack. When the two sides collided, Whitebeard could not use his strength in the air, so he flew backward and landed on the ice, crushing it as he landed. You cant protect the Strongest name forever, Whitebeard. Ross looked back at the Whitebeard. Even though he was much smaller than Whitebeard in comparison to his size, the momentum of the expansion made the air heavy. If Whitebeard is like the sunset that is going to fall, then Ross at this moment is like the shadow that gradually covers the earth when the sunset goes down, invading everything in the world! You have to take if you want it. Whitebeard has a calm look. His right arm holds the Bisento, and one can see the muscular bulge in his arm. At his age, the average person has long since become old. Whiz! !! Whitebeard and Ross shout angrily at the same time and charged into each other. With Whitebeards to battle skills and top-level Observation Haki, Ross rarely wastes his strength on any useless form. Whitebeards fighting method is that no matter what you do, no matter how you show it, he can always find you and defeat you with one punch and one strike. To deal with this kind of existence, head-to-head confrontation is naturally the best choice for Ross. It can maximize the elimination of Whitebeards fighting skills that are higher than him. And. In speed alone, Ross is faster than Whitebeard! When the power of the attack is similar, speed becomes the key factor in determining the victor. In the constant attack, Ross can always play more than Whitebeard! Bang! Bang! Bang! It was a series of confrontations to Bang again. Not knowing how many blades and punches he had thrown, Ross threw another punch faster than Whitebeard by force of speed, forcing Whitebeard to swing his Bisento and unable to keep up with Ross. Boom! !! Rosss attack is obviously not that easy to fend off, just as it is difficult for Ross to block Whitebeards attack with his arms. Under Rosss blow, Whitebeard slid back four or five meters, taking the brunt of the impact, and where his feet stood, there were two crevasses of broken ice, as if cut by an iron plow. Whiz! After Ross pushed back Whitebeard, he continued to storm on. Both sides know very well that if this fight continues, the winner will be Ross! Kch! !! Facing Rosss onslaught, Whitebeard lifted his foot and an earthquake erupted. The entire ice layer instantly shattered, and a severe shock spread towards Ross. Ross stretched out of the ground, ignoring the earthquake caused by Whitebeard. After reaching the air, he held the sword in both hands and fully used the power of distortion in his body, converging it on the sword edge. Distortion Buried sword! Buzz !! Its like a chaotic power of destruction is tearing all the voids into a paste and cutting them off towards whitebeard. As space is shaken, the trajectory of this sword is hard to describe in terms of the speed of the three-dimensional world. Bisento, Air Shock! Whitebeard sensed the power in Rosss move and he also showed a dignified expression. His arms clasped the Bisento and Armament Haki was used to his limit. In a roar, he fully inspired the power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi). Distortion and Quake. Two of the most destructive powers in the world, unleashed to their fullest extent by Ross and Whitebeard, collide in Void. No sound was made, and the entire world was silent for a moment. The power of this attack has surpassed the sound, making the world eclipse! Everyone on the battlefield, such as Marco, Shiliew of the Rain, and others, almost all stopped their movements and stared in the direction of Whitebeard and Ross. Countless lights came together. No one knows how long has passed and it seems like a moment has passed and at the same time it also looked endlessly long, then the two violent forces in Void are stirred together and finally turned into a dark swirl. The vortex was deep and dark as if it could devour everything, even if Marco and others looked at it from a distance, they felt a sense of fear. Finally. The black swirl slowly dissipated. Ross appeared in mid-air, holding the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand as he floated in the air and a corner of his black cape was fragmented. Below Ross, Whitebeard kept waving his Bisento and was slowly retracting his Bisento. Zi! The corners of his mouth slipped silently into a trail of blood. This attack was an attack which was the result of a long struggle between the two sides, and they tried their best to break out, and the level and result of this attack were also clear at a glance. Earthquake and Distortion, Whitebeard and Ross The aftermentioned figure. Won by a notch! CHAPTER 332 WHO IS THE STRONGES The sea breeze swept over the icy island. The cold island has added a bit of coolness to the already cold breeze. Ross was floating in the sky, his tattered cape quivering slightly in the wind. His figure looked a little funny, but no one laughed at him. Unfortunately I wouldnt have been able to fight against you twenty years ago. Ross looked at Whitebeard below him with calm eyes. If it was Whitebeard twenty years ago, the outcome of this battle would have been unknown no matter how much time passed, but it is Whitebeard now and unless Whitebeard does something else, this Battle will continue and his chances of winning will be lower and lower until they reached zero. No one can stand on top forever. Whitebeard knew very well that he couldnt always be the strongest, and sooner or later someone would replace his existence. But this Battle is not over yet. Without any sense of discouragement because of the injury, Whitebeards eyes are always like a pair of a cold glacier. He folded his fingers together and made a fist, and punched out. All at once. Bang! Ross raised his hand and pressed it down and the power of distortion swinging away, blocking Whitebeards punch. His eyes were silent and he entered the Battle state again. His figure flashed and came to the right side of Whitebeard. He slashed Whitebeard with his sword. Whitebeard waved his Bisento to block Rosss sword and he began to fight again with Ross. But. It was different from the beginning. Ever since that blow, Whitebeard fell into a disadvantageous position and was injured, each of these attacks created quivers on the hearts of Marco, Jozu, and others, making their hearts sink straight to the bottom of the sea. Everyone is unwilling to accept or even think about it, but no matter how you look at it, unless Whitebeard can regain his youth and time can go backward, the result of this battle is clear to everyone! Gotta help Father Marco resisted the heavy gravity pressing on him and wrapped himself in blue flames, and gritted his teeth and punched Fujitora continuously. He began to do his best to storm out, trying to break through Fujitoras blockade. Qing! Qing! Fujitora waved his stick blade and after blocking Marcos several attacks in succession, he slammed his backhand and broke out with a terrifying gravity, which collapsed on Marcos body and the blue flames collapsed. After the blue flames disintegrated, they quickly converged on the sky more than ten meters away and turned into the form of a Pheonix. Once the wings flew, it was necessary to charge into Whitebeard. But. Almost at this time, Fujitora also came into the air, holding his sword in his hand, his body was steady as he stood in front of Marco. Get the fuck out of my way! Marco gritted his teeth and rushed forward. Fujitora slashed out, forcing Marco back to the ground. You should be very clear that speaking here is superfluous. In any case, it is impossible for you to pass Marco gritted his teeth, knowing that it was difficult to get around Fujitora but he still relied on his Pheonix form fire and tried to fend Fujitora against the outbreak of frightening death. In the face of Marcos fierce and deadly attack, Fujitoras face was slightly grave. Instead of fighting with him, Fujitora brandished his staff and blade to fight with him and retreated from time to time. It seems that he was attacked by Marco and fell into a disadvantageous position that could only be paraded, but in fact, he stopped Marco in his place, leaving him no chance to pass. Even with the body of a Pheonix, Marco could not get around him! Bang! Ross and Whitebeard fought again and Whitebeard backs up again. Father! Jozu screamed angrily and slammed forward, knocking Shiliew of the Rain away for a few meters, trying to charge into Ross direction to support Whitebeard. Shiliew snorted and the blade in his hand waved, the power of frost spread and the ice at Jozus feet suddenly skyrocketed, freezing his lower body. Kch! Kch! Jozu struggled to break free. Shiliew swung out his sword and chopped it on Jozus back, and Jozus body flew out. There was also a scar on his back! In the case of frontal resistance, relying on the defense of the diamond and his strong Armament Haki, Jozu was able to block Shiliews attack, but it is obviously impossible if he wants to resist Shiliews sword without any damage to his back. Damn It! Thatch, holding a long sword in one hand and a short sword in another was also trying to support Whitebeard, but he could only defend against Ficheux Ermans attacks. You are getting distracted. Ficheux Erman opened his mouth and his figure suddenly came to Thatchs side and he kicked at Thatchs waist. Although Thatch instantly attached Armament Haki to his waist, he was still kicked by Ficheux Erman, and he still flew out. He was severely hit and his face turned white, and the corner of his mouth overflowed with blood. Bang! Ross slashed out and Whitebeard backed up again. Father! Vista couldnt keep calm anymore, he gritted his teeth and tried to charge into Whitebeard. But with a flash of thunder, a terrifying Thunder Giant, hundred of meters tall and gleaming white, came in front of him. This is Hajrudins strongest form. Thunder incarnation at 300 million volts is an enhanced version of 200 million volts. His whole body is surrounded by terrifying thunder power and every one of his moves can burst out with terrifying power of thunder. Bang! Hajrudin punched out and a terrifying thunder current burst suddenly and enveloped Vista. Vista waved his sword through the thundering stream and Hajrudin yelled again, the thunder turned into a beast, swallowing at him. On the entire battlefield, no matter whether it is the top-ranked Captain or the bottom-ranked Captain, no one can support Whitebeard. And. Except for the top-ranked Captains, such as Vista, Captain from the sixth position onward, even if they can support Whitebeard, it will not play any role at all. With Ross current strength, even if they can block the aftermath of his attacks, they cant stop Rosss frontal attacks and they will be killed immediately! Bang! Bang! Bang! The fight continues. Almost a day and a night have passed since the fight between the two Yonkos had broken out. Whitebeards naked upper body showed a variety of bruises and sprains attacked by power of distortion, and even blood stains cut by the blade. Ross stood on the opposite side, his lower half of the black cape was almost completely broken, and now it is covered on Ross body like a shawl. In addition, there were no scars on his body! It wasnt that he had fully recovered from his injury with his ability to recover, but it is that in the fight till now, Ross had not been wounded by Whitebeard! He is faster than Whitebeard. His Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki is capable of Future Prediction, and the power of distortion is also able to positively block Whitebeards Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi)s abilities. It is impossible for him to get injured! Over time. The Battle that had been locked in a deadlock changed as the entire Whitebeard Pirate regiment began to fall into a huge disadvantageous position because of Whitebeards unfavorable position. The Whitebeard Pirates are centered on Whitebeard. When Whitebeards fight is extremely unfavorable, almost no one can calmly go to Battle! In comparison. The Ghost Hand Pirates have high morale, countless people are surging forward while roaring and shouting ceaselessly, their momentum is surging. Their boss, their Captain, Ghost Hand Ross, one of Yonk (Four Emperors), Ross, who is still less than 30 years old, has suppressed Whitebeard, the worlds strongest man! The strongest! Ross is the Strongest! Some peoples hearts are surging, and countless people are shouting in their hearts. Before the Great Age of Pirates, it was Whitebeard, one of the three legends of the Sea. He took the position of the worlds strongest and right now, he is finally going to be replaced by the latecomers! The replacement will be their Captain, the boss of Totto Land, Ghost Hand Ross. This battle will be written into the annals of history, and they are writing new history in a stroke! CHAPTER 333 FINAL STRIKE Time goes by. The sky went through the day and fell into the night. On this frozen ice island frozen by Shiliew of the Rain, and from time to time, thunder and all kinds of light were mapped by the ice. When Whitebeard fell into a disadvantageous situation, the situation of the Whitebeard Pirates gradually collapsed, but because it was the edge of Whitebeards territorial sea, the support of the Whitebeard Pirates was fast, and nearly twenty Whitebeard subordinates pirate groups arrived one after another. In comparison. On the side of the Ghost Hand Pirates, the Support Unit has only four ships. With large-scale support, the Whitebeard Pirates barely stabilized the situation, but only barely. Because. In the middle of the battlefield, Ross and Whitebeard still fought and no one can intervene in their battle. No matter what tactics the Whitebeard Pirates uses, it is difficult to support Whitebeard. With Ross and Whitebeard at full blast, unless youre a top-five Captain, youre not qualified to support them, you wont even get close enough to the area where Ross and Whitebeard are fighting. Bang! Bang! The Whitebeard Pirates used strange abilities to interfere with Ross remotely, but those inexplicable lights, cannonballs, and other attacks stopped ten meters away in the air before they could get close and they were distorted and shaken. The aftermath of the earthquake and Distortion shattered them. Distortion, Frozen! Ross whispered as he used Gravity Distortion and the ice crumbled into countless pieces, freezing Whitebeard in it. Kch! Cracks appeared on the ice that covered Whitebeard. Whitebeard broke free from the ice seal but was attacked by Rosss sword. The character at the level of Whitebeard, even if the overall strength of Ross has a point better than him, it is still impossible for Ross to defeat him in a short time, he could only continue to expand their fight time and take advantage of his mistakes. Time goes by. Whitebeards stamina is obviously not as strong as it was and when the fight lasted for two days and two nights, it has begun to weaken. In addition, Ross continued to attack without stopping and Whitebeard could not ignore it, leaving many wounds on his body, which looked horrible. But. Even if his body was injured, the blood-bearing Whitebeard showed no sign of falling down. He looked like a blood-stained demon. His battle momentum was not weakened, but it was constantly rising. Thats a little bit like that, Whitebeard Ross attacked Whitebeard and as he looked at his steady and domineering figure, his eyes flickered slightly. In his memory, Whitebeard suffered countless fatal injuries in the War Of The Best and he was still able to nearly killed Blackbeard. It was very impressive for Ross. But. Ross is not afraid because of it. He just praised Whitebeards will and power. For Ross, if your will is strong, then mine is stronger than yours, if your power is strong, then mine is still stronger than yours! To step on the world! Bang! Ross continues to fight Whitebeard. Although Whitebeard was fighting while bathed in his own blood, all this effort was just his strong will. His aging body could not support such a high-intensity long-term war. Father! That bastard The Whitebeard Pirates subordinates were anxious, but they could only watch, it was almost impossible for them to get involved. The horizon was white, and two days and two nights passed, and the time came to the morning of the third day. Kch! In the collision between Distortion and the earthquake, the ice surface shattered, Ross leaped and fell behind the broken ice layer and Whitebeard also receded continuously, his chest heaving violently. Ross has more than a third of his stamina left, and Whitebeard has bottomed his stamina out after suffering a series of setbacks. On the surface, it seems that Whitebeards strength has not weakened in any way, but in fact, his body has reached its limit. Its just that his will is too strong. Last attack. In front of Ross, Cursed Blade Murasames blade was covered with a faint red glow that dripped to its edge. He looked at Whitebeard calmly. Instead of rushing in, he recovered and stored his strength in place, intending to decide the victory by one stroke. No one knows how long Whitebeards counterintuitive state will last. In this case, a one-shot decision is a right choice. Whitebeards chest was heaving violently and he was panting. He was aware of Rosss intentions and knew that Ross was accumulating his remaining power, intending to make a final blow. But facing Rosss plan, he couldnt do anything. It was impossible for him to rush and stop Ross. Are we there yet Whitebeards eyes cocked up slightly, looking behind Ross, or above, at the endless horizon. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Marco and others fighting hard. He saw them frantically trying to rush towards him to support, but they were completely blocked by Fujitora and others. I Whitebeards forehead was stained with sweat and blood and he could feel his body empty and powerless. His body felt like a block of dry rotted wood, no matter how he squeezed it, it seems difficult to squeeze any vitality. Whitebeards gaze fell on Ross. What kind of look is that? Words cannot be used to describe it, it is full of domineering, calm, hesitant, disobedient He was not dissatisfied with Ross, but he dissatisfied with how he had struggled with age, time, and the world and the sea! No. Even if he falls, it is definitely not here. Whitebeard withdrew his strength and looked at Marco and others. At this moment, it seemed as if all of their convictions had been brought together. In that withered body, a sudden power came from sources unknown. This power is surging as if it could break everything! Goo! The muscles on Whitebeards arm were tense as his arms clenched tightly at Bisentos handle, and his power surged wildly. Opposite him, the strength in Ross body continued to flow like a tide, and eventually converged into an overflowing pond. Come on! A sharp light flashed in his eyes. Whitebeard seems to have gained strength by his will again, but all this doesnt matter. At this moment, He has stamina and he has an advantage in all aspects. So what if Whitebeard has some of his strength back again! If he cant even win against Whitebeard, how would he take this world and overthrow the World Government that has ruled the world for 800 years! Whiz! Rosss figure flashed and he charges into Whitebeard. He held the hilt of his sword in both hands, and the terrifying power of distortion condensed on the sword edge, the power felt as if it could tear the sky, and he waved his sword toward Whitebeard, which was much taller than him. At the same time, Whitebeard clenched the Bisento in his arms tightly, and there was a flash of unprecedented light in his eyes. There was no roar or scream as he split his Bisento brazenly, wrapped in a shock halo that seemed to be able to break the mountains. At this moment. The world seems to be overshadowed! The world seems to have dimmed, and all the light has come to Rosss sword blade and Whitebeards Bisento. Fujitora stopped. Marco stopped. Shiliew of the Rain stopped On the battlefield, at this moment, almost everyone stopped moving invariably, looking at the battlefield that seemed to become the center of the entire world! CHAPTER 334 MARINE ARRIVES Time seemed to slow down an infinite number of times. Rosss blade cuts across Void, wrapped in the power of distortion, as if dragged in a heavy quagmire(A soft boggy area of land that gives way underfoot), and Whitebeards Bisento also cut across space in a half-moon arc and fell heavily. In the numerous light-gathering spot, Bisento and Cursed Blade Murasame finally collided against each other. Buzz!! Almost instantly, shattered traces appeared above the cloudy sky, as if the sky itself was getting torn apart! This strike is the one that Ross and whitebeard put all their efforts into. They used their ultimate Armament Haki and even the outbreak of Haoshoku Haki, tearing the sky and the earth apart. Kch! There was a sound like a cracked mirror. At the collision point between Rosss sword blade and Whitebeards Bisento, there are clear signs of fragmentation, like a quagmire of space, torn and kneaded like plasticine(A soft modeling material, used especially by children) under the collision of two forces. Aaaaargh! In the wanton outbreak of power, Ross fell in a daze and roars wildly. The power of distortion and Armament Haki intertwined, seemingly reduced to the essence visible to the naked eye, sharpened in Void. Whitebeards arm trembled violently, and it was under tremendous pressure as he pressed it down. Zizi! Tremor and Distortion, the former is the force that shatters everything, and the latter is the force that destroys all. Both forces are trying to destroy each other in a crazy conflict. It seemed as if a few seconds had passed, and it seemed as if a long time had passed, that force of constant fierce conflict finally showed a change. Ross power of distortion overpowered Whitebeards tremor force little by little and it also rushed forward little by little. Finally. Rosss blade swung hard. Tang! A golden iron symphony rang through the battlefield, and Whitebeards Bisento was swung open by Rosss blade, unable to press down. The power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) was also completely broken by Ross power of distortion at this moment! Its over. Ross took a deep breath and instead of recovering the Cursed Blade Murasame, which was being shaken by the force of the shock, he let go of his right hand, grabbed it in Void, pulled the scattered power of distortion, and punched Whitebeard on his chest. Whitebeards Tremor force was completely broken by Ross and his Bisento was up in the air and his front body was completely defenseless. Bang! Rosss fist landed on Whitebeards chest. Whitebeards chest suddenly sagged, and his huge body bent down instantly and like a meteor, he flew backward while blood was spurting from his mouth. Father! Marco and others watched this scene and they shouted out in horror and anxiety. Whitebeards body flew up in the air and crossed the entire battlefield, it flew over a distance of nearly a kilometer and reached the edge of the ice island, and eventually fell on the ice. At the same time. The Whitebeard could not hold the Bisento in his hand and it spun out, eventually landing on the ice. In a continuous clang, the giant Bisento bounced a few times on the ice, and finally stopped. Great Age of Pirates, Eighteenth Year. Ghost-hand Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates fought against each other in the Etwall Stuart Potter sea region. Later generations called it the Battle of Etwall. In this battle, one of the three legendary pirates who dominated the great pirate age of an era, Whitebeard, Edward Newgate was defeated! The title of the worlds strongest man, from this day on, changed ownership and it no longer belongs to Whitebeard and it belongs to a new legend. Yonk (Four Emperors). Ghost Hand, Ross! Not far from the ice islands where Ross and Whitebeard were fighting, ten Marine Battleships are watching this scene. At the forefront of one of the Battleship decks, Aokiji, dressed in the justice clock of Marine, is looking at the ice island. Is that, Whitebeard and Ghost Hand What terrible power. Kizaru whispered incoherently. This was not a sarcastic joke out of his mouth, but a terrible feeling from his heart! He could still feel the palpitations he felt by the collision of that power just now. If he was at the center of that attack. He would die! It looks like its over, Whitebeards breath is fading. Ghost hand has won. Aokiji let out a cold breath and murmured. He couldnt help but think of the scenes of his first encounter with Ross when he had met Ross on the Florian Triangle sea region as a Marine Admiral, how he had looked down on the Ghost Hand Pirates. But. It was in that situation that Ross had saved his crew members such as Laffitte and Law and Robin in a way that he hadnt anticipated. In a completely unexpected way, Ross awakened the power of his Devil Fruit, and even if Aokiji didnt realize it then, he still tried his best to stop Ross, but Ross escapes through the fog of Florian Triangle sea. After that. Ross went to Dressrosa and destroyed Doflamingo and was finally defeated by Marines. He was put in Impel Down, then he escaped and destroyed Impel Down and caused the collapse of the Marine Headquarters Which part went wrong? Aokiji reflected in his heart. If he had taken Ross seriously from the very beginning in the Florian Trianglesea, would there be no Ross now? But. There is no if. Ross now is already one of Yonk (Four Emperors), and just now, he defeated Whitebeard who dominated the sea for decades, taking the title of the worlds strongest for himself. Its our turn. Kizaru didnt think as much as Aokiji thought. After taking a breath, he said in a repressed tone. Ross defeated Whitebeard and he must only have a little power left in his body and the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates fought hard for so long, they must be at their limit. Now, even if they fail to completely eliminate the people on the island, they can take down two of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates and they can even capture or kill one of the Yonk (Four Emperors) themselves and make their pirate group disappear from this sea! Ah, its our turn. Aokiji turned back and stared openly in the direction of Ice Island. At this time, the Battleships were already close to the ice island. When the ice island entered the shelling range, a Vice-Admiral waved his hand. Bombard! Destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates! Under the order of the Vice-Admiral, the many cannons already prepared on the ten Battleships fired in a volley, firing on the chaotic ice island. Cannonballs fired by heavy cannons exploded on the ice island. The ice was splattering, and smoke filled the area. Although the Whitebeard Pirates and the Ghost Hand Pirates are extremely terrifying, all Marines know that the battle between Whitebeard and the Ghost Hand has been going on for almost three days and three nights! They also have two Admiral teams led by Aokiji and Kizaru, and even two of the most powerful Vice-Admiral, Momousagi and Tokikake. Kill all pirates and execute them on the spot! A Marine Vice-Admiral drew out his sword and said in a sharp and cold tone. Yes! During the bombardment, countless Marines responded and they pulled out the standard sword and set foot on the ice island, and swarmed to the battlefield! Starting from now. The battlefield is going to be taken over by the Marines! CHAPTER 335 MOMOUSAGI’S SWORD ARTS Father! Marco turned into his Pheonix form and flew in the direction of Whitebeard. This time Fujitora did not block him, or Marco in a nearly insane state rushed out of Fujitoras oppression. Cough! Cough! Whitebeard covered his chest with one hand and coughed violently and as he coughed, countless blood drops spilled onto the ice, it was really a shocking sight. Marco rushed to Whitebeards side and produced a mass of Peonix flame into Whitebeards chest, and prevented Whitebeards injury from becoming more serious. His Pheonix flames cant have much effect on people other than himself. It is impossible for him to fully heal Whitebeards injury in a short time, and at most, he can prevent it from becoming worse. Whitebeard stood up slightly. After Marco gave Whitebeard emergency treatment, he asked Whitebeard anxiously, Father, how are you? Whitebeard waved his hand at Marco. Just when he wanted to say something, countless cannonballs suddenly emerged from a distance and banged on the ice island. Damn! Its Marine! Marco looked back, only to find out that a large number of Marine fleet had arrived at the ice island, he could not help showing some of his anger. Whitebeard lost to Ross and was seriously injured. His condition is also very bad. After a long fight, his stamina has been exhausted and bottomed out. At this time, Marines had boarded the Island, these guys are really worse than trash! But. Marines attack target is not just them. The Ghost Hand Pirates will probably be targeted by the Marines as they also want to kill them all. The next situation will become extremely bad for them. Whitebeard was also looking in the direction of the Marine Battleships and a flash of coldness flashed in his eyes. He had indeed lost to Ross and although it was because of the aging of his body as he didnt have his peak powers but this fight was also considered to be upright and not disturbed and him losing was fair. And now. Marines wanted to take advantage of this situation at this time, this undoubtedly offended Whitebeard. At this moment, several cannonballs fell from the sky and fell in the direction of Whitebeard. Marcos eyes flashed and just as he was about rush forward to stop them, Whitebeard suddenly waved his arm. Kch! No one knows where the power came from, the air burst in an instant, allowing all the cannonballs to freeze in the air, and then explode one by one. Want to take away my head during this time? Marines, Im afraid youre wrong, I am Whitebeard! Whitebeard turned around and the momentum surged, he slammed out his hand angrily and punched forward, the force of the shock erupted. Kch! The air showed cracks like ice. The ice surface in front of Whitebeard shattered in a large area and blasted towards the Marines Battleships. Numerous ice pieces broke up, breaking the first half of many battleships. You have been pushed to this point and you still have such power, its really terrible, Whitebeard Whiz! A golden light flashed and Kizaru appeared on the ice island and said with a terrifying tone, but there was no fear on his face. If it had been Whitebeard in his youth, he wouldnt be appearing here. But now an old Whitebeard with severe injuries is standing here and he would have had no reason to be afraid of him as a Marine Admiral. As his voice fell, he stretched out his fingers and a bright light condensed and a few laser beams burst into the air and blasted towards Whitebeard. Yellow Monkey! There was anger in Marcos eyes, and he moved forward in an instant, reaching Whitebeards front and blocking Kizarus laser attack. With Kizaru ascending to the island, Marines also rushed towards ice island in a large group. They really did come here. Ross stared at Marines fleet from a distance with a gleam of light flashing in his eyes. And at this time, a cherry-colored sword light swept across and the ice surface was cut open by it. The sword energy aimed at Ross and fell down. Ross grunted and reached his hand out to grab the empty space in front of him and curbed the impact of the cherry blossom sword energy. Far away. Marine alternate candidate Admiral Momousagi appeared, standing with a large sword in her hand with the clock of Justice wrapped around her. Finally became a top sword user once and for all No, you should be infinitely closer to being a top sword user? Ross glances at Momousagi, opened his mouth and spoke indifferently. He has little experience with sword arts, but he does not know much about it. If he only talks about sword arts, he is now an ordinary swordsman. But. Is that all? The first half of Rosss sentence is stated and taken seriously, but the second half suddenly turns into something flat and condescending. As soon as he grasped the Void with five fingers, the cherry-colored sword energy was like a huge python, which was rotated by his Distortion and turned into a cherry-colored sphere, it kept shrinking and finally was held in Rosss palm before it broke and disappeared. Now Momousagi is almost the same as Aokiji and Kizaru and others and she is even stronger than Aokiji and Kizaru in attacks, but it is still not enough in front of Ross, even if Ross only has one-third of his stamina left, he is still not someone that Momousagi or a mere Admiral can win against. Its enough for you. Momousagis eyes remained unchanged. She seemed to have become integrated with the sword blade. In her eyes, only what was to be cut and what was not to be cut were left. Captain, in our state, I am afraid we cant fight the Marines. Laffitte stood not far away with his cane spread out in his hands and spoke helplessly to Ross. There were several wounds on his body and his appearance looked a little disheveled. Fighting with the Whitebeard Pirates for so long, it is impossible for anyone to remain unscathed, they are only a little hurt, but the main problem is their stamina. No, we cant Trafalgar Law gasped while holding the demon sword, Kikoku, but his eyes were calm, and he said, And there are still them. This them naturally refers to the Whitebeard Pirates. What do you think? Laffitte asked Ross. However, Marines would not wait for them to finish their discussion, the Marines who had rushed to the ice island, and after attacking the Whitebeard Pirates, they also aggressively attacked Shiliew of the Rain and others. Aokijis Ice Age strengthened the thickness of the ice island and it spread across the battlefield instantly, freezing countless people into ice sculptures. Whiz! Except for Shiliew, everyone jumped into the air and avoided Aokijis large-scale attack. ICEBALL! Aokijis figure flickered into the air and his eyes lightened with his steady arms, his arms instantly turned into surging ice cubes, and he struck away at Ross. Ross stood on the ice and raised his hand indifferently. Bang! The power of distortion erupted and instantly broke the surging ice. The spread of the power of distortion even hit Aokijis and his body broke into ice. Aarara Aokijis body was broken into ice cubes and fell to the ice island below. Chapter 336 Red Hair Shanks Shiliew was standing on the ice, half of his body had been turned into frost and his eyes stared coldly at the direction in which Aokiji had attacked Ross, he raised his sword and split it towards Aokiji. Wherever the sword energy went, the air showed a frozen form, as if a clear white line had been cut in Void. Kch! Kch! The broken ice quickly regained its shape in the air. Aokiji waved his arms, blocking Shiliews sword energy and ignoring the coldness contained in Shiliews sword energy. His body is Ice, and Cold-Cold fruits abilities will have no effect on him. Cold-Cold fruit against Ice-Ice Fruit, the former has great immunity against the latters power, while the latter is almost completely immune to the formers power. But. Shiliews strongest attacks are from his sword arts. Even if Cold-Cold fruit does not work for Aokiji, he can also rely on Cold-Cold fruit to have an extremely large resistance to ice. On the contrary, he is at an advantage against Aokiji. But all of this must be based on the benchmark power level of the two sides. The current Shiliew has been fighting for a long time and there is not much stamina left in him. He isnt Aokijis opponent at this time. Moon Arc! Momousagi rushed forward while Aokiji attacked Ross, splitting a sword again towards Ross. However, before this sword energy rushed to Ross, it was stopped by Fujitoras staff blade. The gravity crushed the sword energy and cut the ice island into an abyss. Momousagi looked solemnly at Fujitora. Ross retracted his fist and looked at Momousagi and Aokiji, and said, Want to kill two Yonk (Four Emperors) at the same time, dont you think your appetite is getting way too big? Whiz! At the moment his voice fell, Ross took a step forward and his figure suddenly came in front of Aokiji, he punched towards Aokiji. Aokijis face changed and he folded his arms in front of him. Bang! Rosss punch instantly broke through his Armament Haki, making his body break into ice cubes and splashing away into the distance. With Rosss words, Shiliew and others also showed a cold look on their faces. After fighting with the Whitebeard Pirates for so long time, a third party in the form of Marines suddenly stepped in their battlefield, anyone would be a bit angry in their hearts. Even those who let go of the Whitebeard Pirates would never make these Marines feel better! Kill! Dont be afraid, they dont have much power anymore! Three or four Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral rushed forward with a large number of Marines, all with murderous intentions in their eyes. The two sides rushed together in an instant and the situation has become completely chaotic. Aokiji, Kizaru, and Momousagi, the three of them have real Marine Admiral combat power, in addition, there is also a Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki Future Prediction user with powers only second to a Marine Admiral, Admiral Candidate, Tokikake. Coupled with a large number of Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral and Marine Elite force, after the fight between the Ghost Hand Pirates Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates, the Marines are undoubtedly the strongest player on the field. But. Even if they are the strongest currently, their strongness is also limited. If they come together to deal with one of the Yonkos whether it is the Ghost Hand Pirates or the Whitebeard Pirates, they would have the absolute upper hand and they could even defeat or kill them. But if they want to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates at the same time, then they are dreaming, even if the stamina of people on the Ross side is extremely consumed and many people are injured, but they are still not someone that can be easily defeated. If the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates are completely united, Marine will not be an opponent even if it has the top four combat power capabilities. However, the problem is that the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will not join up their forces together as there is also a fierce conflict between them and this situation has become a three-way fight. On this battlefield, the most noticeable existence is undoubtedly the Ghost Hand Ross who defeated Whitebeard and won the title of Worlds Strongest! Bang! Bang! Bang! Vigorous bangs kept coming. The wanton explosion of Rosss powers is almost like a weapon to destroy the world. No one can resist his power wherever he goes. Even Aokiji and Momousagi can only restrain him on a single side. Tang! Tang! Tang! Ross arm was attached to the dark Armament Haki and his fists hit Momousagi, colliding with Momousagis blade and sparks splattered everywhere. After a few punches that shook Momousagis blade and forced it sideways, Ross grasped this opportunity and punched against Momousagis chest with the power of distortion. Whiz! Momousagi stepped back decisively and condensed her Armament Haki. Taking advantage of the situation to retreat and defend herself with the Armament Haki, she felt a tightness in her chest that made her uncomfortable, but she managed to resist Rosss attack. Ross strides forward, edging past Momousagi and reaching for her blade. Momousagi is a swordsman. As long as her sword is taken away, her power will drop by half in an instant, and then there is the possibility of catching her alive. Once she is in his hands, with the help of deep hypnosis, mental surgery, and Hobi Hobi no Mi fruits ability, she could be turned into a battle power on his side. But. Just as Ross charges into Momousagi, a bullet cut through the battlefield and hit towards Ross temple on the right side, forcing Ross to give up his action of snatching Momousagis sword and flicking that bullet. Hey, dont be careless, Little Momousagi. Even if your sword arts have improved, this guy is still very good. Shouted Tokikake from a distance. Momousagi was tense when she faced Ross and she knew that she was in danger and was relieved by Tokikakes rescue. However, when she heard a little Momousagi popping out of Tokikake s mouth, she was annoyed for a while. Shut up! She replied in annoyance while holding her blade and slashing it towards Ross, trying to vent her anger on Ross. Ross became vaguely aware of why Tokikake failed to pursue Momousagi a hundred times. Bang! Ross pulls off two punches and hits Momousagis blade. After a two-second standoff, Momousagi was unable to fight with Ross head-on and flew back to the rear, landing a few dozen meters away. Looking at Momousagi as she flew backward, Rosss eyes flashed and he was about to take a step forward and continue his attack when a voice suddenly sounded in the confused battlefield. Stop! The voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the battlefield. As if it contained some inexplicable power, many people subconsciously stopped their movements in their hands, raised their heads, and looked in the direction of the sound. There. A figure wrapped in a black cape had stepped on the ice island and he is now standing at the edge of the ice island, his eyes swept across the battlefield. He has red hair and is not very tall. Like Ross, he has an ordinary human body, but he has a frighting momentum. Its him?! Why is he here The moment they saw that figure, everyone reacted differently. There was a shimmer of light in Whitebeards eyes, Aokiji, Kizaru, and others looks changed slightly, and Ross narrowed his eyes slightly. Akagami (Red Hair), Shanks! Someone called out the identity of the figure. Third place Yonk (Four Emperors), Red Hair Shanks finally arrived on the battlefield! CHAPTER 337 ONE MOVE On the battlefield. The Marines, the Whitebeard Pirates, and Ghost Hand Pirates are in a three-way confrontation. Although Marines have an advantage in this situation, it is impossible for them to completely destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates. The Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirate can defeat the Marines if they join forces, but there is no doubt that them joining forces with each other is simply impossible. Akagami (Red Hair) Marco stood on a bulging ice rock, looking in the direction of Shanks. Shiliew of the Rain slowly lowered his blade. Everyone slowly stopped attacking. In this completely melee situation, the appearance of Akagami (Red Hair) is enough to change the whole battle situation. Once he joins the battlefield, it will inevitably evolve into the largest battle since the Great Age of Pirates. And in that case, the situation of the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will be very bad, because the main cadres on both sides have reached their limit. Step, step, step. Shanks, wearing a wooden shoe, stepped on the ice and walked slowly into the field. He did not unleash his Haoshoku Haki. In this situation, releasing his Haoshoku is tantamount to provoking the three parties at the same time and a bloody battle will be inevitable by that time. We meet again, Akagami. Ross stood upright on the ice, looking at Red Hair Shanks as he approached, his voice relaxed. Last time they met, it was in the West Blue. At that time, he had not yet stepped into the Grand Line and was still struggling under the manhunt of Marines, fighting his way out of West Blue, and the gap between him and Shanks was immeasurable. But more than six years later, everything has changed. Today, he is one of the Yonk (Four Emperors), his strength stands at the pinnacle of the sea, and even Whitebeard is no longer his opponent. Rosss words caused the crowd to turn their eyes towards Ross and drift back and forth between Ross and Akagami (Red Hair), showing a few different colors. Has Ghost Hand Ross met Akagami? When is it? Why have they never heard of it? Oh. Shanks nodded and said with deep eyes: Time really does fly by. Aokiji stood not far away, looking at Shanks with a look of gravity and alarm and asked. What are you doing here? Although it is difficult for the Marines to destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates at the same time, there is no doubt that they currently have a great advantage. However, Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates appearance on the battlefield has completely changed the situation. Shanks stopped and turned to look at Aokiji, and he also looked at Momousagi, Kizaru, Marco, Fujitora, Shiliew of the Rain and others, and said: This Battle, it doesnt make any sense for it to continue. It will only endlessly expand the casualties. Marines will not reap any benefit here. What do you want to say? Momousagi coldly looks at Red Hair Shanks. Shanks stared at Momousagi for a moment and said, Im here to stop this war, this battle needs to stop now. Think before you speak, Akagami. Tokikake put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at Shanks and slowly said, Do you want to stop Marines from dealing with Pirates? Tokikakes voice dropped, and the atmosphere in the field suddenly sharpened. However. At this time, the ship of Akagami Pirates leaned against the ice. The deputy Captain Beckman, together with a large number of High-Level cadres of Akagami Pirates, stepped onto the ice island and walked towards the field. The presence of the Akagami Pirate regiment cadres immediately suppressed the atmosphere. Unlike those who have been fighting for three days and two nights, such as Marco and Shiliew, everyone in Akagami Pirates is in their peak condition! No. Shanks spoke slowly, saying, I didnt mean that. There are too many things that have to be fought because of my position. But this battle should stop here. If we continue, we will only continue to expand our losses. Ross looked at Red Hair Shanks, no one knew what he was thinking. In the War Of The Best, Shanks used a similar tough attitude to prevent the subsequent development of the war. Blackbeard did not want to fight against Shanks in Marine Headquarters, and Marines did not want to face Akagami while chasing Whitebeard Pirates and Blackbeard Pirates. However, this situation is completely different from the War Of The Best. Neither Whitebeard nor Ross is willing to compromise. A tough attitude will only make things worse, so Shanks shows a calm attitude. Shanks words silenced everyone. If Shanks did not appear on the battlefield, Aokiji and others will inevitably continue to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates and the Ghost Hand Pirates. Not to mention Whitebeard and the Ghost Hand, except that Ross who has kept nearly a third of his stamina. Everyone elses stamina is at its limits. If they continue to fight, even Shiliew and Marco has the possibility of dying here. Ross looked at Shanks. Akagami. Hmm? Shanks looked over. Clang! Ross reached over to the hilt at his waist and pulled the blade out. The next moment, Ross suddenly disappears and reappears in front of Shanks with the blade in his hand was wrapped in a chaotic halo of Distortion, and he smashed into Shanks. Shanks was a little surprised. At the moment Ross drew his sword, his hand was already pressed on the hilt of his own sword. When Ross appeared in front of him, his sword was already held in his hand and he waved it against Ross. Time seems to have slowed down. Under everyones attention, Rosss sword edge and Shanks sword edge approached each inch, and finally hit each other. Clang! Sparks splattered. A chaotic power of distortion erupted suddenly, swaying in all directions, breaking the ice surface under the feet of Ross and Shanks, and instantly expanding to a range of dozens of meters! At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky also cracked like an abyss with the collision of this sword! Ghost Hand! Among the Akagami Pirates behind Shanks, someones looks changed. In this unfavorable situation, will Ross choose to continue this fight? Kaido had some sense in him, and no matter how crazy Ross was, he wouldnt be a crazier beast than Kaido, who would fight off people until he fell down. Kch! Kch! After the ice surface under Ross and Shanks had been crushed by the power of distortion, a number of fragmented gullies appeared in the lower area, spreading in all directions. When everything stopped, everyone saw Ross and Shanks standing face to face, with their blades coming together. Apart from the ice at their feet, which had not been broken, a huge crater had appeared on the ice for dozens of meters as if a meteorite has crashed down here! Chapter 338 The War Ended Clang! Ross withdrew the Cursed Blade Murasame and put it back into its scabbard. He attacked with all his strength, and it was to test Shankss strength. His Haki is at the top, his sword arts is at top. Even if his arm is missing, the impact on his strength is not great. Lets go. Rosss gaze stayed on Shanks for a few seconds before he turned around and jumped to the edge of the crater before moving forward. Seeing this, Fujitora and others put their blade into the scabbard, Ficheux Erman also put his revolvers back to his waist, and the thunder arc on Hajrudin gradually disappeared. After glancing around at the Akagami Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines followed Rosss lead and headed out of the ice island. In the direction where Ross went, the people from Whitebeard Pirates and Marines swallowed their saliva and moved out of his way, they were too afraid of him to even consider stopping him. Momousagi looked at Rosss back, and her fingers holding the blades were lightly forced, but after all, she didnt take any action, so everyone just watched as Ross and his pirate crew went away. Shanks put his blade back in the scabbard. No one noticed that the ice surface was cracked where he stood with his feet, or under the soles of his feet. Whereas Ross had stood before, the ice directly under his feet was not damaged. There is no doubt that even after three days and two nights of fighting, Ross with only one-third of his stamina still has the upper hand in this hit! Shanks did not turn his head, but the corner of his eye moved to the end of Rosss back and it was closed back. That guy Beckman stood behind Shanks, in the middle of a crowd of Akagami Pirates cadres, puffing on a cigarette and staring deep into Rosss back as he walked away. He noticed the fact that Shanks had fallen slightly. Although Shanks was pushed only a small amount, it was caused after Ross defeated Whitebeard and was fighting for three days and two nights! There is no doubt. Whitebeard loss wasnt just based on Rosss luck! The title of the worlds strongest, from this day, it is indeed necessary to change the owner! What the hell do we do now, Kuzan. Kizaru stood at the edge of the battlefield and spoke to Aokiji. Aokiji took a deep breath and glanced indifferently at Shanks and Whitebeard, and finally turned around, saying, Retreat. Ross is gone. Although it seems that there is only one Whitebeard Pirates left and it is easier to deal with but Shanks will not remain indifferent. Once he orders a fight, Akagami Pirates will definitely join Battle. Although their Battle power this time is huge, it is not possible to fight against the full-powered Akagami Pirates while fighting against Whitebeard Pirates at the same time. A Marine Vice-Admiral clenching his fists, he was annoyed for a while, but Aokiji and others had already left, and he could only be forced to withdraw eventually. Marines recedes like a tide. Soon, only the Akagami Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates remain on the ice island. So, that went well. Shanks saw Marines withdraw and watched their Battleship leave, and he also looked in the direction of Whitebeard and others before turning away. Marco and others stood in place, surrounding Whitebeard, and staring at the departure of the Akagami Pirates, in the end, they did nothing. With the departure of the Akagami Pirates. The battle of Etwall, which was recorded in history, came to an end. In this war, Whitebeard, who stood at the peak of the sea for decades, was defeated by Ghost Hand Ross and lost the strongest in the world title. This is one of the biggest events since the beginning of the Great Age of Pirates! Totto Landsea, Sky Island Birka. More than half a month has passed since the end of the Battle of Etwall. Fujitora, Shiliew, and others have almost recovered from their injuries. With the existence of Trafalgar Law and Gerd and the internal and external combination of Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit and Heal-Heal Fruit, it is not difficult to cure ordinary injuries. This war harvest is the worlds strongest name. In the eyes of countless people in the world, the Ghost Hand Pirates has become the strongest pirate force that has surpassed the Whitebeard Pirates and dominates this era! On the Ross side, however, there is a headache due to the huge loss of middle- and lower-level combat power. In the battle. There were no casualties among the Captains such as Shiliew and Laffitte, but two of the deputy Captain had been killed and the middle and lower combat forces also had more than half of the casualties! The seven regiments members of the Ghost Hand Pirates are mostly recruited not from the attached pirate, but from the Totto Landsea and Underground worlds. This time the loss is too large and it is difficult to full these forces in a short time. This kind of middle and lower level force has a small impact on the overall Battle power of the Ghost Hand Pirates, but without so many people, there is no doubt that there is a shortage of manpower to manage the huge Totto Landsea. How many people have joined in these days. Inside the Sky Islands palace, Ross sat on the cloud sofa of the island and asked Robin. Robin came in holding a document and said, Thirty-seven, there are quite a few pirate groups that want to be attached to us, but you dont plan to accept them. No, I definitely dont want that kind of stuff. Ross shook his head. Why would he accept the kind of pirate who only knows to burn and plunder? Can they even manage Totto Landsea? As for the Battle power, he still wasnt short of it. From the beginning, he did not intend to receive such pirate groups that had burned and plundered. If they were to be received, he would probably throw them to Sugar and turned them into toy soldiers. After all, without the authority similar to that of the World Government, it is difficult to gather enough people in a short period of time with this conscription method. Robin put the documents on the coffee table and said. Although the prestige of the World Government has been suppressed many times because of Ross, it does eventually have more than 170 participating countries which is more than half of the worlds countries. And no matter how strong they are, they are still Pirate. Only 34 islands are ruled by him and out of those 34 Islands, 21 are small islands and 9 are middle-level islands. He only has four large islands. World Government Ross shrugged. If we want a similar prestige to the World Government, we at least need to unify the New World first. This is a huge project. The World Government currently rules more than 170 countries, that is, more than 170 large islands, and Ross only has four. And. These islands are all located in Totto Landsea. The area around his territory was taken up by either the Beast Pirates of ??Hundred Beast Kaido, Akagami (Red Hair), or Whitebeard and Red Line, or the Marine Headquarters. To expand his territory, he needs to fight a Yonk (Four Emperors) or fight Marines. I still need to get the Soul-Soul Fruit as soon as possible. Ross thought about it. With Soul-Soul Fruit, he would be able to annex the high-level combat power of other Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, giving the Ghost Hand Pirates the capital to confront the Marine Headquarters and even the World Government. Chapter 339 Germa 66 Just as Ross was meditating, the Den Den Mushi in Robins pocket suddenly rang. Hello? Robin took out the Den Den Mushi to answer. Laffittes voice came from the other side of the Den Den Mushi. Well, Captain Robin Sir Ross should be there, right? Laffitte used to call Ross Captain in the past, but since occupying Totto Landsea, the Ghost Hand Pirate group has disbanded and reorganized into seven Division teams, his title has been changed from Captain Ross to Lord or Sir Ross. Robin tilted her head and looked at Ross, passing the Den Den Mushi over. Whats the matter Laffitte? Ross took the Den Den Mushi and spoke, leaning softly on the soft white back of the Island Cloud Sofa. Laffitte gave a slight chuckle and said, Sir Ross should still have some impressions about the industries left by the BIGMOM Pirates. As one of the former Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, the BIGMOM Pirates power wasnt limited to Totto Land, it is involved in the dark Underground world of the sea, and most of these industries and businesses have been received by the Ghost Hand Pirates. Well, whats wrong with them? Ross frowned and sat up slightly to ask. Laffitte shrugged and said, The BIGMOM Pirates stayed at a dessert factory in North Blue and it was destroyed. I was supposed to receive it in the past. It was not long before Ross destroyed the BIGMOM Pirates. In the middle, they experienced the Scientific Force Base and the incident with Whitebeard, which led to the failure to completely accept the BIGMOM Pirates former industry. East Blue was not involved, West Blue was not involved, and North Blue was not involved. Laffitte was going to take over the industry bordering the Whitebeard Pirates territory this time but he got word that it was gone. Oh? Rosss eyes flickered slightly, and he wondered, Are there still some people who would dare to do such things at this time? Not to mention that he had just defeated the Whitebeard Pirates, even before that, they were the Yonk (Four Emperors) forces of the New World. Although the legacy industry of the BIGMOM Pirates has not yet been taken over completely, those who dare to stretch their paws at this time are really brave. No no no, its not what you think. Laffitte said with a slight sneer, The thing is this. The factory left by the BIGMOM Pirates is the Skoll Kingdom in North Blue. Just a while ago, there was a rebellion Ross didnt speak and he just took the cup and sipped tea. Laffitte continued: The rebels got a lot of money from somewhere, they hired a force, defeated the Kingdom Army of Skoll, and finally overthrew the Kingdom of Skoll. The factory was also in the war and it was severely damaged. Its a mess than Ross put down his teacup and commented. Laffitte said helplessly: That country is not a subordinate of the World Government so chaos is normal there. The BIGMOM Pirates also have the power there, but after we occupied the Totto Landsea, it has fallen apart. What are you going to do? Robin asked from the side. Ross touched his chin and said, North Blue is a bit far. Even if the new regime is destroyed, it will be very troublesome to govern a country. By the way, what is the source of the employed force. Laffitte laughed on the other side of the Den Den Mushi and said, The point I want to talk about is this power. They have no territories, but they have a special power that allowed them to participate in the World Council privileges, its Germa 66. What. At Laffittes words, Ross, who had not been paying much attention was caught off by surprise. The factory and the power that BIGMOM left there was gone after we destroyed the BIGMOM Pirates so they took off the flag and started their own business, Laffitte said. Germa found out later that it was the legacy of the BIGMOM Pirates and our people also found it. They were very self-aware and made a sincere apology. When he heard Laffittes words, Ross blinked again but he wasnt surprised bu his later words. Germa 66s Leader, Sanjis father Vinsmoke Judge is an extremely realistic character who treats the weak with disdain and only values ??strength and profits. And such a person will not be arrogant in front of true power. When Rosss people found something that they shouldnt have, they apologized immediately and didnt dare take any ownership of it. In todays world, the forces that cannot be provoked are the Ghost Hand Pirates. Even the Beast Pirates is not a terrifying as the Ghost Hand Pirates. Judge knew that Ross would be able to destroy them in minutes. If it was someone like Strawhat Luffy in his place thaa there would have been a fight, but he is a Yonk (Four Emperors) and the strongest pirate of the sea, Judge and his family wouldnt be able to survive the consequences and they knew it. Well, since they have already apologized and didnt know any better beforehand, let them go. Ross said indifferently. He had just fought Whitebeard and he was feeling a little lazy now and he didnt want to move just because a small force like Germa 66 had caused trouble. Moreover, Germa 66 has some strength. Although it is far worse than any Yonk (Four Emperors), its backbone and cannon-fodder forces are huge. To destroy Germa 66, he must dispatch Fujitora or Shiliew. If that was the case. Germa 66 will ask the World Government for help and cause a lot of follow-up troubles. Ross doesnt want to compete with the World Government and Marine for the time being. Understood. Laffittes smile and said: But the Vinsmoke family has the intention of joining us, oh yes, the Vinsmoke family is the family that rules Germa 66. Ok, I know. Ross sat there with his legs crossed and said, However, its a bit naive of them to think that they can join us just like that. Its already quite nice of us that we hadnt destroyed them. Now they want to use our flag to rule? Germa 66 is not valued in the World Government because it does not have a fixed territory, and it studies clones and transformations. The World Government can remove them from the franchise and destroy them at any time. In this situation, if they can get attached to the Ghost Hand Pirates, they would have the ability to show some power. Even if the World Government really removes them and wants to destroy them, they must carefully consider whether they will collide with the Ghost Hand Pirates. What do you mean? Laffitte also knows that Germas idea is too naive, how could they be sheltered by their Ghost Hand Pirates without paying any price. Ross touched his chin, thinking that there is not enough manpower to manage Totto Land now, and the clones that can be mass-produced by Germa 66, if added, would immediately make up for the severe vacancy in the middle and lower levels. Tell them they can consider it if they are willing to devote all of their staff to become our subordinates. CHAPTER 340 NEGOTIATION North Blue. Somewhere in the sea, several ships flying the flag of Germa 66 were slowly sailing on the sea. In a cabin, here is a furnished hall with aristocratic temperament, in which there are two sofas, glass coffee tables, and some seats. Germa 66s Leader, Vinsmoke Judge is sitting on a chair with a cup of hot coffee in his hand. What did they say? Judge asked his subordinate standing near the table. The Ghost Hand Pirates said that they can consider taking us in if we are willing to devote all of our staff to their subordinates, Said the man with a slightly embarrassed look on his face. Ohh, So grand. Niji, the second son sitting at the table, let out a whine. The eldest son, Ichiji, drank the tea and said quietly, After all, They are the Ghost Hand Pirates. They even defeated Whitebeard half a month ago. But thats a bit too grand. It makes us look like homeless people. Ha, ha, ha. The fourth son Yonji laughed as he leaned against the back of his chair. The only woman present in the room, Reiju, sat there without talking, and put a finger on her lips, revealing a thoughtful look. After a while, she said, After all, we ruined the industry they were going to take over without knowing it. Reijus words made Judges expression a little more relaxed. Although the Ghost Hand Pirates are powerful, the attitude expressed by them is a bit of an overstatement, but its understandable if you think about the fact that they destroyed the industry they wanted to take over. They should be grateful that the Ghost Hand Pirates havent come here to destroy them. If they hoped that the other party will just accept any of their requests that they are fools. All hands on it Judges face was pensive. Its not an unacceptable thing for them to become Ghost Hand Pirates subordinates. The other party is the strongest force in the world today, except for the World Government. The Germa 66, although they always wanted to dominate North Blue, had many difficulties and even faced the crisis of being delisted and eliminated by the World Government. Although North Blue is a lot weaker than Grand Line and even New World in the second half, it is not so easy to dominate. After all. There are quite a few pirates on the Grand Line that went out from North Blue, and many of these places are home to some strong presence. However, the current situation is also not optimistic. On the one hand, it is necessary to put all of their forces into becoming the subordinates of the Ghost Hand Pirates, which means bowing down to Ross and that is something that Hudge cant accept. After all, he also considers himself as a hegemonic power. What he wants most is to cooperate with the Ghost Hand Pirates According to the intelligence obtained by him, although the Captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates is very strong, the subordinates are seriously underpowered. This is also a normal thing. After all, the Ghost Hand Pirates do not accept other pirates in their ranks and they have risen in only a few years. In this case, their Germa 66 can provide the middle and lower levels troops to make up for the shortage of Ghost Hand Pirates. The problem is. The Ghost Hand Pirates wouldnt have a big problem if they didnt have them. It is nothing more than slow development for them and their governance may be troublesome for a short time. In contrast, they face the risk of being removed from the World Government, and they may also be erased by the World Government! How can we achieve a cooperative relationship Judge kept thinking. Dominating North Blue with the power of Ghost Hand Pirates and at the same time they provide enough middle- and lower-level combat power for the Ghost Hand Pirates, this cooperation is undoubtedly the most perfect. One month has passed. During this month, Germa 66 kept in touch with the Ghost Hand Pirates forces and they assisted Laffitte in receiving BIGMOMs industry in North Blue and providing various intelligence to the Ghost Hand Pirates. With a lot of effort, the relationship between the two parties has finally been completely relaxed, and it has reached a stage of preliminary cooperation. But. This alone is not enough. Moreover, because of their contact with the Ghost Hand Pirates, the World Governments attitude towards Germa has become much colder after learning a little about it. In this unfavorable situation, Judge made a decision to go to Totto Landsea and develop a further partnership with the Ghost Hand Pirates. This request was granted by Ross. So half a month later, at the beginning of the 19th year of the Great Age of Pirates, the ship of Germa 66 came to Totto Landsea. Cake island coast. Germa 66s Leader Vinsmoke Judge, with his three sons and Reiju, boarded the cake island. Was this the center of power for the BIGMOM Pirates? Judge glanced at the cake island. In his intelligence, it should have been the base camp of the BIGMOM Pirates. Although repaired and rebuilt after the war, Judge, who is often involved in warfare, still can see that this land has experienced a fierce war. Is that where it is? Judge takes a few steps and looks inquiringly at the huge factory in the middle of the Cake Island. This thing is a little too ugly to look like Rosss place. The person beside Judge was Laffitte. He shook his head and laughed. No, its not there. Its up there. As he spoke, Laffitte pointed to the top of his head. Judge and Niji and others looked up and saw the blue sky and white clouds floating, and they could see nothing. When it was beginning to get strange, a group of people came over, holding a pile of strange utensils in their hands, like a pile of weird shells. Captain Laffitte. The group came to Judge and others and they ignored Judge and saluted Laffitte respectfully. Laffitte said, Okay, send us up. Yes. The group responded, and immediately began to fiddle with the things in their hands, and soon made a large cloud of white clouds, and installed more than ten strange shells under the white cloud. Laffitte turned to look at Judge and others, and laughed: This is our special transportation and will take us to it. Oh. Judge stares at the strange cloud for a few moments then he walks up with Niji and Reiju. Laffitte followed them and said, Stand still. P! P! P! Just as Laffittes voice fell, the shells under the white clouds suddenly made a flapping sound, blasting a strong air current, pushing the whole cloud quickly into the sky. Oh oh oh! Unexpectedly this thing actually can take a person to fly, Niji and others are somewhat surprised. Chapter 341 Reiju and Robin Interesting. Reiju stood on the edge of the white clouds chariot, watching the rising landscape, holding her chin in one hand, with an expression of appreciation. Although with their memory metal armor and equipment, they can also easily fly into the sky, but never to the altitude of more than a kilometer. The air will start to get thinner, please be careful. Laffitte watched as they flew higher and higher and reminded Judge and others with a smile. Yes. Judge nodded as he also looked up into the sky. It now seems that the Ghost Hand Pirates base camp should be in the sky. This is really an unexpected thing. Although it is a little magical, it also meets the identity of the strongest Yonk (Four Emperors). Quickly. The white clouds came to the altitude of eight kilometers, and the huge white cloud could already be seen floating which was ten thousand meters away from the ground and two thousand meters away from them. Is this the legendary Sky Island? It really exists. Judge and others looked at the huge white cloud and spoke. They have heard about Sky Island more or less, but they have never seen it, so it became impossible for them to determine whether it really exists or not. Now it seems that Sky Island is not just a legend. The scenery is so beautiful. Reiju looked at the Sky Island Birka that was gradually showing its looks and couldnt help but sigh, showing a touch of envy, she really wanted to live here for a while. The White Cloud continued to rise, eventually reaching a landing site on the edge of Birka Island and Laffitte led several people up. This way. Without giving Judge and others much time to watch, Laffitte waved at Judge and others, leading several people to board Birka. Along the way, they encountered some Sky islanders with wings who saluted Laffitte respectfully. In Birka Island, Laffitte and other Captains are second only to Ross. As for the deputy Captains of various teams, most of them have not been to Sky Island, or they are not qualified to set foot in Sky Island. Even if it is a Captain, it is forbidden for them to set foot here without the permission of Lord Ross. Laffitte led the crowd to the grand palace in the center of Birka, and smiled at everyone as he spoke. This sentence was a bit of a serious reminder, which made Judges mind a little surprised, and his expression became solemn. As for Niji and others, because they are special transform humans, there are no human emotions in them such as fear, and their expressions have not changed. Walking into the palace. A Sky island girl with a delicate face, blond hair, and bi-colored pupils came face-to-face to them and smiled at them and beckoned everyone to come in, she would lead the way. Oh oh Angel? Niji and his two brothers saw the appearance of that Sky Island girl and they were all amazed by her looks and revealed an exaggerated expression. There was a hint of helplessness in Reijus eyes. Keep it down, you three. Judge coolly reprimands his sons, who are perfect warriors in every respect except one, they have a lustful personality. In this respect, they are almost identical to Sanji. Yes. Niji and others are naturally fully obedient to Judges orders. This is because they have been formulated to follow them from birth. They must not violate Judges orders. In any case, they must protect Judge. In fact, Judge has never treated his sons with love. For Judge, it is equivalent to training a close believer. Under the guidance of the girl from Sky Island, several people went deep into the Palace and passed through a delicate and magnificent pavilion, and came to an inner palace. Well, here they come. Ross had his hands crossed in front of him as he stood at the window on the side of the palace, and looked at the scenery on the Sky Island. He realized that Judge and others were coming and he turned his head and glanced at them calmly. Buzz !! The look wasnt harsh, it was calm and unruffled, but a sudden burst of Haoshoku Haki came over Judge and others. Wherever the Haoshoku Haki went, the ground made of white cloud in the palace was faintly cracked. However, because the palace is built by island clouds, it has a strong toughness, and it recovers quickly after cracks, just like water flow. Well Under the pressure of Ross Haoshoku Haki, Judges face changed and he began to feel that his breathing suddenly became heavy and he felt as if he was carrying a heavy giant mountain peak. At the same time, Niji and others faces changed. Although they did not retreat because of this, there was a trace of cold sweat on their forehead. Haoshoku Haki With three sweat stains on his forehead and a low murmur in his heart, Judge once again has a new definition of Rosss powers in his heart. Without any movement and just with his Haoshoku Haki, they were already run to such a point that they almost lost their Battle power! This is the most powerful man in the world Ghost Hand Ross! The coercion of Haoshoku Haki didnt last long and just a few seconds later, it disappeared silently and was taken back by Ross. By this time, Judge and others were already sweating. Especially Reiju, she is a very special existence as she is somewhat between Sanji and Niji and so on, while possessing human feelings, she also has a special physique and strong strength. It is also because she has the feelings of a normal person. When facing Rosss Haoshoku Haki, she was more affected than Niji and others, and her clothes were soaked with sweat. That man Reiju looked at Rosss figure, took a deep breath, and did not show any fear because of it. Instead, after Ross withdrew his Haki, she smiled softly. I like this Haki. Sit down. Ross walked over the window and motioned for Judge and others to find a place to sit. Judge slowed down and said, Your spirit and powers are really extraordinary, I apologize for the disturbance. Dont care. Ross casually came to the main seat and sat down. As a dignified Yonk (Four Emperors), he naturally had to show his powers a little bit. Akagami (Red Hair) went to Whitebeard and used Haoshoku Haki first. He thought this method was very good, and one burst of Haoshoku Haki was enough. Because Niji and others are transformed people, they have no fear of Ross but Rosss Haoshoku Haki still put a lot of pressure on them. However, even if there are no feelings of fear, it does not mean that there are no other feelings. They still feel solemn about Rosss existence, and no one has made any presumptuous actions. Quietly. The Sky Island girl who had previously led Judge and others appeared with a tea tray in her hands and put down a few cups of freshly brewed Sky Island specific brewed tea on the table. Judge saw this and his expression slowed a little, and the tension in his heart subsided slightly. The strongest man in the world, and the identity of Yonk (Four Emperors), plus the Haoshoku Haki just now, they are all the things which are very stressful to his heart, but this cup of tea is served, it shows that Rosss attitude is not so cold. Is the tea unique to Sky Island? It tastes great. Reiju took a sip of tea and smiled at Ross. Things that were previously affected by Haoshoku seemed to be nonexistent. Yes. Ross nodded and faintly smiled at Reiju and said: It is Sky Islands specialty, it is difficult for ordinary people to drink it. It must be said that Reijus elegant manners and generous personality won her a little goodwill. At least its better than Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji. Reiju smile: Then I must cherish this opportunity to drink. Ross took a sip of tea and said, Its not something rare. If you stay here, you can drink it every day. Reiju smiled, Is that okay? Judge sat beside her and drank tea but he remembered something for Reiju. He was still thinking about how to get closer to Ross, but he didnt expect Reiju to do it easily. Of course, he was happy as he looked at this situation, and it was much better than talking to Ross directly. Ross smiled faintly, just as he was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from behind him. The eldest daughter of the Vinsmoke family, Vinsmoke Reiju if I remember correctly, your ability seems to be poison? Its a really good ability to deal with the enemy. Robin came over and said with a smile. c CHAPTER 342 UNEQUAL Ross paused with a teacup in his hand. He didnt need to look back, he could feel Robins expression at the moment, her eyes were bent into a crescent shape, and there was a playful smile on her face. Is this Captain Robin? Reiju smiled and said, It seems that you have a thorough understanding of our intelligence, and it is an honor to be so valued by someone of your standing. The intelligence team is managed by me. I naturally need to have information upon the people who come to visit and it is also natural that I learn of their..abilities Robin tilted her head and smiled, her eyes were still like a crescent moon, and she sat down next to Ross. Ross sighed. Ignoring Robin and Reiju, he looked at Judge and said, You came here this time, are you going to talk about the so-called cooperation? Judge, who is trying to figure out how to come up with ideas, is relieved that Ross has taken the initiative to get to the point. He also ignored the smiling Robin who looked at Reiju and Reiju who smiled back at Robin and said to Ross: Exactly. Since Captain Robin knows us so well, I suppose you know something about us, Lord Ross. Ross said casually: I have heard some of it. Judge said: I used to be a member of Scientific Force Base and worked with Vegapunk, but later separated because of some things, but I still worked on lineage factors and cloning technology. Judge said while spreading his right hand, motioning Ross to look at Niji and Reiju, and the other two on his right, saying: A few of them are my children, and they are also the perfect works of science and technology. They are the most perfect fighters. Together with the equipment of science and technology, they can exert a great battle force. In addition to them, I can also make cloned soldiers who have beyond normal physique, they are not afraid of death, and they absolutely obey orders. This is also the power that countless North Blue nations fear. Speaking of this, Judges tone reveals a hint of pride. Although the power he possesses cannot be compared with New Worlds Top-Level forces, it can be said that it is difficult for any ordinary country to deal with his forces. He was able to defeat even the ordinary forces of the New World. Once, he helped the kingdom Army of a country in the New World to destroy the rebellion provoked by the Revolutionary Army. Its very nice. But youre also on the receiving end of something the World Government would love to have, Ross says in a neutral tone. Compared to Judge, the resources held by the World Government are undoubtedly incomparable to any power. Once they get Judges technology, they would be able to make clone soldiers in large quantities, and even mass-produce combat powers such as Ichiji and Niji! Ordinary clone soldiers are okay but Ichiji, Niji, and others are not weak. If they are produced in large quantities, it will undoubtedly be an extremely terrible corps! Thats exactly what I want to say Judges tone became somewhat depressing, saying: The government wants what I have studied for my whole life, but they will not let me rule North Blue, so I will not give them something that is mine for free. Judge has no ambition to rule the entire world. His highest goal is to rule the North Blue and let Germa stand at the peak of North Blue. If the World Government agrees with Judges rule over North Blue, he is willing to surrender his lineage factor technology and cloning technology. But. The World Government will not allow any single force to dominate North Blue, the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) will absolutely not stand for this. So this transaction can never be established. If you want to dominate North Blue, you must rely on your own strength or other forces. Obviously, it is difficult to rule alone but with the help of the Ghost Hand Pirates, Judge sees a glimmer of possibility. If he can get the support of Ross and the support of Ghost Hand Pirates, with his cloning technology and a Yonko force, he would be able to rule North Blue! So you plan to trade with me. Ross took a sip of tea and said lightly, You want to use my power to deter all forces, to discourage the World Government, and to use the Ghost Hand Pirates resources to dominate North Blue. Judge was not embarrassed by Rosss words, because all of this was already obvious. He solemnly said: This is indeed my idea, but at the same time, my power will also be put into your hands. With cloned soldiers and scientific power, you can have an army in a short time. An army that will obey orders without questions, an army that will charge at any enemy without fear. Whether it is governing the Totto Land sea or expanding outward to conquer other countries, you can use them. Judge still hopes to gain more autonomy. He doesnt mind being attached to the Ghost Hand Pirates, but he hopes to have a role similar to that of a prince. It sounds pretty good. Ross said lightly: But your strength is not necessary for me. This is an unequal transaction. And you guys are here. If I destroy you here, I can take over your power. In a bland tone, Ross spoke words that were extremely threatening. Judge looked pale and said: If we die here, the clone soldiers will commit suicide after destroying all data on the technologies. Then I can detain you all here. I have some interest in the modification of the bloodline factor, and you are well placed to study it. Ross said lightly. Why bother? Reiju said suddenly. She looked at Ross and whispered, We will send it with both hands, and all we need is just your shelter. Really, with both hands? Ross stood up and walked in front of Reiju and stretched out a finger to drew her chin and said, What if I want you? Cough. Robin coughed. Ross pretended not to hear her. Reiju didnt show any resistance, but smiled gently and looked up at Ross, and said, I cant be the one to decide that, it depends on whether my father agrees. Judge looked at Ross strangely, his thoughts flashed quickly, and said, Lord Ross, you arent you married yet? He suddenly thought that Ross seemed to be in his twenties? Because Yonk (Four Emperors) and the strongest names in the world are too dazzling, covering up the fact that Ross is extremely young. Thinking at this moment, Judge suddenly felt that it seemed possible to start from this point !! If Reiju can Oh? What do you want to say? Ross turns around and looks at Judge with a half-smile. Does he still want to be his father-in-law? Is this person that crazy? Judges eyes touched Ross expression and he froze for a moment, thinking of Rosss identity again. After a little struggle in his heart, Judge resolutely said: If Lord Ross is willing, I think Reiju will be willing to serve you. The perfect work of the bloodline factor is only Reiju and Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji. If he had to hand over one, there are only three left, which can be described as a bit of heartache. But if this can be exchanged for Rosss support for Germa, allowing him to dominate North Blue, it is totally acceptable! CHAPTER 343 INFORMATION Shout. No one noticed that Reiju let out a gentle gasp as Judge uttered the words. There was still a smile on her face, but no matter how she looked, the smile was a little sad. She didnt feel surprised when Judge made such a decision. At this time, she suddenly thought of Sanji and didnt know how Sanji is now. Is he still alive? She has very few feelings for the Vinsmoke family in which she has three brothers without human feelings, and a so-called father who only values ??strength and interests. Fine. Ross just said it casually, but he didnt expect Reiju and Judge to agree to his words. Now that this is the case, thats how it is. He had planned to bring Germa 66 over, otherwise he wouldnt let Judge and others set foot on the island. Robin glanced at Ross but said nothing. Speaking of the understanding of Ross, I am afraid that no one can surpass her anymore, sometimes Ross and she will suddenly quarrel a few times. He didnt think through his brain at all, he just came to think of anything, he didnt consider the consequences in advance and she was already used to it. Its just that. Why did she suddenly have the urge to use her signature 100 rounds of flower slap technique on Ross? Well. This is really the way of life for Germa. Judge saw Ross agree and although his attitude was a little bland, he still smiled. The existence of Ross, the dignified Yonk (Four Emperors), his style of conduct is extremely overbearing, and the thing Ross had promised will naturally be delivered. From today, Germa 66 is classified as the Eighth Division. Ross said arbitrarily, You will be the Captain. Other deputies and the like are up to you, and the management is yours. Ross also does not plan to intervene in managing Germa 66, nor does he intend to insert his own people into a large group of modified people such as Germa 66. As long as he can command and move them at any time, thats enough. Ross is an Emperor, he can throw the training of people towards Judge. That couldnt be better. Judge naturally has no opinion on this, and even wants to shake Rosss hand in gratitude. After Ross spoke, he turned to look at Reiju again, and said, Then Reiju will stay here, as a liaison between me and Germa, you can report anything to her. In addition, the clone troops on Totto Land will also be led by her. Now that hes decided to keep Reiju, Ross isnt going to waste her talents and he will use her as the go-between between the Ghost Hand Pirates and Germa 66. Germa 66 would be staying in North Blue for a long time. Only a few clones will be left on the Totto Land sea. The clones on this side will be led by Reiju and she would be responsible for the governance of Totto Landsea. Her personality also reassured Ross. People like Shiliew of the Rain are not fit to run a country. No problem. Judge nodded and he was happy to see that happen. Reiju will lead the cloning forces in Totto Land and can talk directly to Ross. This status is not as close as that of the Captains of Ghost Hand Pirates but it is second only to them. That way he wont have to worry about what might happen to him in North Blue and he can receive information about the Totto Land. Ross didnt bother Judge and looked at Reiju, waiting for her answer. Judge realized this and turned to look at Reiju. Reiju, what do you think? Asking her is equivalent to ordering her, Reiju cant disobey his order, this sentence just reminds Reiju to answer. Thats fine with me. Reiju calmly responded, Its my honor to be the liaison and the head of this side. Ross glanced at Reiju. Although she didnt reveal anything on the surface, Ross could detect the change in her heart. This is the partial perception of the emotional aspect after Observation Haki reached the extreme state. Ross doesnt know if this is the legendary Voice of All Things, but even if it is, it is probably only at the Basic Level stage, because he cant interpret Poneglyph by Observation Haki. At best, it is a slight capture of other peoples inner emotions, such as anger, sadness, and pain. Then we are done here. Ask Laffitte for the resources you need, Ross says to Judge and others. I want to have a clone army in Totto Land that is good enough for me within half a month. You can rest assured. Judge laughed: Science cant go wrong, as long as there are enough resources, such a perfect army can be produced at will. As he talked, he gazed at Ross and said goodbye, and at the same time gave Reiju instructions calmly. This order naturally allowed her to stay here with Ross. While obeying Ross, observe more of the situation here and report to him at any time. Without waiting for Reijus response, Judge took Niji and the other two out of the palace. Reiju sat there, holding the teacup and sipping the tea gently, as if she hadnt received her instructions from Judge, or didnt want to bother. Robin looked at Reiju and shook her head slightly. She felt a little sympathy for Reiju at this moment. After all, Germas intelligence was in her hands, she knew the origins of Reiju and others and knew about Judges personality. Now Reiju is equivalent to being traded as an item. Anyone who encounters this situation will not be very happy. Ross looked at Reijus lowered brows and walked past her naturally, whispering in her ear. Want to know what happened to Sanji? Reijus eyes froze and she looked up at Ross. Ross straightened up and smiled faintly at her. Come with me, Ill tell you. With that, Ross moved forward, not looking back to see what Reiju was doing. Reijus face flashed with surprise, disbelief, and so on, but she eventually followed Ross and followed him out of the palace. Sanji? The third child who died? There was a flash of surprise in Robins eyes. With Observation Haki, she could hear what Ross said to Reiju, and Ross didnt try to hide it from her. Of all the information she has gathered about Germa, only a few words were written about Sanji The third son of the Vinsmoke family died young in the war. A normal person would probably ignore this sentence, but because she had such a strong memory, it came back to her in a flash. Listening to Rosss tone. It seems that Sanji is not dead? There is something else hidden in this matter? Thinking about this, Robin was even more surprised and she wondered where Ross had gotten this news from. This has been the case for a long time. Ross always knows a lot of things. Now she is in charge of the entire Ghost Hand Pirates intelligence unit. All intelligence must pass through her. She is also the only source of intelligence for Ross. She doesnt know this intelligence, how did Ross know? The more she worked with Ross, the more she learned about him, the more she felt that Ross was hiding something else from her. But if Ross doesnt say something, she wont ask. Shell guess and do her job. Its her responsibility. CHAPTER 344 POTENTIAL Sky Island Birka. At the very top of this towering Palace, Rosss figure walked up the spiral corridor and reached the highest point, overlooking the entire Sky Island and clouds. Reijus figure followed Rosss back and slowly climbed to the top of the palace. So, Sanji is still alive Hearing a little information from Ross, her eyes flashed a tenderness. Although she hasnt been able to find any news about Sanji for a long time, she has always felt that Sanji might be alive, but now her feeling has been verified. As for whether Ross was lying to her, she didnt think about it at all. Once because of Rosss identity, and secondly, Ross had known the name Sanji. Although she didnt know how Ross knew this. Well, he is still alive. If nothing unexpected happens, you can meet him again in the future. Ross stood with his hands behind his back, looking far into the clouds. If nothing unexpected happens, Sanji will join the Straw Hat Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates will break through the Grand Line, participate in the War Of The Best and arrive at New World. But unfortunately. Luffys dream may not be realized, because Ross will not allow a Pirate King to appear in this World. He is Yonk (Four Emperors), being a Pirate King means being above him which is clearly impossible. After he overthrows the World Government, he will calm down the world and will not allow the Pirate King to appear. Unless. Luffy was able to run to Raftel before he overthrew the World Government and find the so-called ONE PIECE. Can I really meet him again? Reijus eyes flickered and murmured, Ross words had given her enough thoughts. Ross looked at the clouds in the distance and stared at the golden ray of the sun that is crossing the edge of the white clouds, then looked away and looked at Reiju. He watched Reiju think a little, and suddenly he felt a little curious about Reijus body and he released his Observation Hakis careful perception. Lineage factor This is another scientific product. Reiju noticed Rosss gaze and Rosss perception. When she turned her head to look at Ross, she did not avoid it, but instead tilted her head and asked: What is Lord Ross looking for? Im a little curious about what is the so-called Lineage factor is. Ross didnt hide his intentions and spoke with one hand on his chin. Reiju shook her head and said, I dont know much about this, my father never told us detailed things. As for the core technology of the Lineage factor, Judge has it firmly in his own hands, and he didnt even disclose it to Reiju and others, or it did not make sense to disclose it. He doesnt need to train Reiju and others into scientists, he just needs them to follow orders and be a powerful warrior. Ohh? Ross touched his chin and didnt doubt Reijus words. After staring at Reiju for a few more eyes, he beckoned at Reiju and motioned for Reiju to come over. Undeterred, Reiju came over, smiling gently and letting Ross look at her. Ross put his hand on Reijus shoulder, his fingers touched her skin, and he applied a little force to feel the hardness of her bones, which was completely different from ordinary people. Lineage factor modification. This is not so-called mechanized transformation, but something similar to genetic modification, which is the root of the Strengthening. Well Reijus eyes frowned as she felt a little pain, but she did not avoid it. Ross didnt press harder anymore either. He let go of his hand thoughtfully and ran his fingers across Reijus skin again, and finally looked in her eyes. There is a little mucus on his fingers. Poison? Ross frowned slightly and asked Reiju. Reijus ability is poison and he still knows it well. Reiju shrugged and said innocently: Instinctively, accidentally Do you need me to detoxify you? No need. Ross shakes his head and clears the mucus from his fingers with a pinch of power of distortion. Reijus poison is so ineffective for his physique today that it cant even numb his fingers. One only needs to know that he is not inferior to Hundred Beast Kaido today, even if it is Magellans poison, it would only be able to numb him. I should say as expected of a Yonk (Four Emperors) Reiju looked at Rosss finger and her eyes flickered lightly, she could naturally see that her poison had not affected Ross at all. Although the poison was not used by her in full force, it was just an instinctual reaction, but Ross could ignore the toxin, and even if she ignites it fully, I am afraid that it will not affect Ross. Your constitution is interesting. Ross smiled slightly at Reiju. He knew something about Reijus constitution, but he could not know it in such an external way in more detail. So does yours. Reiju also smiled. Ross stroked his chin and thought for a moment, saying, Things like bloodline factors, although they can give you extraordinary strength from birth, it also curbs your potential, how unfortunate. Humm? Reiju looked at Ross without understanding. Ross explained calmly: Everyones potential is the same. Those who are born with strong physiques are just born with a lot of potentials. Marines Vice Admiral Garp and Whitebeard, they are really strong people who are pushing their potential almost to the limit. And the way you use the lineage factor, although you are born with great power, the potential of belonging to humans is also curbed. It will be more difficult for you to develop and it will not even be possible to reach the limits of humans like Garp or Whitebeard. Reiju looked thoughtful and said: I see. This lineage factor sacrifices the future to shape the present. Although it is almost impossible for the average person to fully develop their physical potential, it is even more difficult for them after being transformed by lineage factors! The way forward has been fixed, and the limits of strength have been fixed. She can feel that since the age of sixteen, her strength has not improved in a long time. Dont you feel discouraged? Ross looked at Reiju and asked with a smile. Reiju smiled and said, Heroes like Garp and Whitebeard are just a few in the world. If there was no transformation of Lineage factors, maybe I would not be any better than ordinary people now. Not everyone has the idea to be the strongest in the world. Many people have never had this idea, and it is even more impossible to become the strongest, after all, they have denied this themselves. Its hard to say. Ross shook his head. If Reiju didnt have her Lineage transformation, she might be as good as the current Sanji, who is still a chef at a sea restaurant. But this is also inaccurate. Maybe she can continue to break her physical limits and make rapid progress all the way and may have stronger strength than now. Reijus current strength is inferior to Laffitte, Robin, and others, and it is not much different from the deputy Captain of various teams. Chapter 345 Fire Fist Ace World Government. Holy Land Mariejois. Germa came in contact with the Ghost Hand Ross. That Vinsmoke Judge, is he going to turn to a Yonk (Four Emperors)? Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and others received the intelligence of the meeting between Germa 66 and the Ghost Hand Pirates and all of their expression twisted. Regarding the science and technology mastered by Judge, their attitude is not as desperate as Judge thinks, but they do have an optional attitude towards him. Because. Vegapunk had fully research Judges technology and Vegapunks research now is much stronger than Judges technology. Named Pacifista, the mechanical transformation man is extremely powerful and it is only the first generation. Vegapunk is now studying the second generation and even plans to add Kizarus laser capabilities to it. In the face of Pacifista, Judges clone technology is just garbage. But. Although Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) has an optional attitude towards Judges technology, they do not want to see others get this technology, especially the Ghost Hand Pirates. The greatest threat to them today is undoubtedly the Ghost Hand Pirates. Although the current Ghost Hand Pirates do not have the ability to directly confront the government, it is already extremely difficult for them to destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates. And. He is different from other Yonk (Four Emperors). The management of the Totto Land by the Ghost Hand Pirates made Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and others feel gloomy. Their governance method is completely different from other pirates. It seems nothing to the average person, but to Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), it shows Ross ambition! Ross is not willing to be a pirate. He wants to build a real government! That technology cannot be obtained by the Ghost Hand Pirates. We seem to be unable to stop it. The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) argued with each other with angry and helpless expressions on their faces. Although the cloning technology is nothing, if it is obtained by the Ghost Hand Pirates, it can still become a little more powerful. After all, it can sharpen the already sharpened fangs. Lets give it a try, let our people stop Germa. Going to Totto Landsea to deal with Germa is obviously whimsical, but if Germa leaves Totto Landsea, they can try it. Half a month passed quickly. Within half a month, Germa 66 was attacked by Marine, but Laffitte and Shiliew of the Rain were there, defeating Marines troops. At this time, the World Government also announced that Germa 66 colluded with the pirates and has been removed from the World Government subordinates. Judge wasnt surprised about this situation and he was ready. It is precise because of the announcement of the World Government that Germa has been completely labeled with Ghost Hand Pirates. It didnt take long for Germa to be listed as the Ghost Hand Pirates subordinates of the Eighth Division which was the Scientific Force Base and this news spread throughout the world. Germa did not become a target for various other forces because it was expelled from the World Government as no one dared to mess with it for a while! After all. The Ghost Hand Pirates recently defeated the Whitebeard Pirates. While Ross became the strongest in the world, the Ghost Hand Pirates also became the most terrible force in the pirate world. Many people are not afraid of World Government because they are in collusion with the officials within the Government, as long as their fault is not exposed to the government and they do not offend Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) the rulers of World Government, the World Government is totally indifferent to minor crimes. But. The pirate faction is different. They dont care about anything and if you provoke them then they may come knocking on your door the next day! In this way, half a month passed in a hurry and a group of clone troops appeared in Totto Landsea, led by Reiju who is responsible for the management of three medium-sized islands and six small islands in Totto Landsea. In addition to the expansion of the seven teams during this period, there was no longer a shortage of staff. Sky Island Birka. Inside the palace. The Shift Devil Fruit, did you gave it to Dean? Ross sat there peeling the fruit and casually listening to Robins report. Dean is one of the giants and he can be regarded as the elite among them. In the previous battle with the Whitebeard Pirates, he also has a lot of merits. Although he is far inferior to Sand Giant and others, he is far superior to other giants. And. Dean also followed Ross long before any of the deputy captains and other members did. There is no objection to the merit of the battle, the qualification of the seniority, and he gave the Shift Devil Fruit to him. Yes, there is another cadre in the Giant Corps. Robin nodded, she also knew the power of the Shift-Shift fruit, and Dean who ate this fruit suddenly soared a lot through the ranks. Due to the special nature of the Shift-Shift fruit, his power is close to being stronger when it is stronger. The only thing he lacks is the two-color Haki. However, he is also struggling to improve on it. Do we still have no news about the Soul-Soul Fruit? Ross threw Sky Islands specialty fruit into his mouth and asked Robin. Robin shook her head. By the way, a newcomer pirate recently refused the Shichibukai invitation from the World Government. Oh? Ross hasnt followed Shichibukai for a long time, but Robin occasionally reports to him. Shichibukai can still enter his eyes, especially Hawkeye, the Greatest Swordsman in the World, whose strength is still unknown. The point is, this newcomer pirate is a Logia user. The giant pirate group was built with Logia Devil Fruits. This was Rosss plan from long ago, so if someone with Logias ability appeared, she would report to Ross. This happened to be that both Logia and Shichibukai were involved, and naturally there was no reason not to notify Ross. Robin took out a wanted poster and put it on the coffee table in front of Ross, saying: This newcomer has a 400 Million Berries Bounty on his head, he is known as Fire Fist, Ace! Oh, its him. Ross had already guessed about the person when he heard about Logia user. It is now the Great Age of Pirates 19th year. It was in this year that Ace went out to the sea. He quickly broke through the first half and became the Super Rookie of that generation. He even rejected Shichibukais invitation and set foot in the New World. Finally, he tasted defeat at Whitebeards hands and no longer wanted to be the Pirate King himself and switched to Whitebeards subordinates. Where is he now? Ross asked casually as he looked at the familiar face on the wanted poster. Robin said: He went to Fishman Island, but did not cause trouble in the Fishman Island, and should be able to go to New World soon. So Ross thought for a moment and said, Keep an eye on him. Now that the BIGMOM Pirates has been destroyed by himself, the course of Fire Fist Ace may change. Just Ace, a newcomer is not worthy of Ross attention, but his identity is not ordinary. He is the son of the Pirate King Roger and grandson of Garp of Marine. He can even involve Akagami (Red Hair) and Rayleigh. Understood. Robin nodded. Chapter 346 Ace Vs Laffitte New World. Somewhere near the surface of the Red Line. Suddenly the sea surged, and a huge bubble emerged from the water, enclosing a ship inside, and as the hull completely floated to the surface, the bubble also broke and cracked. Oh, we are finally out. On the ships deck, a young man in a fur cap stretched his arms vigorously. He stretched out a finger to help the crooked fur cap, and there was a ray of flame on his finger, and his identity was self-evident. Flame-Flame Fruit ability user, Fire Fist Ace! My body is fire. I feel uncomfortable surrounded by water. Boss, where shall we go next? Aces crew came over, experiencing the sea breeze of New World, and asked Ace. Ace glanced at the distant sea and a gleam of light flickered in his eyes and he smiled, I want to go to and find Akagami (Red Hair) first, and then Two months later. About 12,000 meters high. Ross is exercising his body by using Geppo (Moonwalk) and exerting Gravity Distortion, pressing it on his body and stomping on the air with his feet. Because of the Strengthening brought by the Talent System is an additional bonus, his physique can still continue to improve, and it must be improved. If not. Even if he had enough talent points, he would not be able to increase his power of Distortion with a Distortion Fruit, for his body would not be able to bear it. Rosss Gravity Distortion is now fully activated, and even though it is not as good as Fujitoras in terms of Gravity, it is extremely terrifying. And to perform Geppo(Moonwalk) in such conditions is putting an extremely terrifying pressure on his body. And this is a height of 12,000 meters, the air here is thin! The CP9 guys would have been unable to stand up straight, let alone walk, under the pressure of gravity, and performing Geppo (Moonwalk) would have been impossible for them. Purupurupuru!! As Ross continued to use Gepp (Moonwalk), his clothes soaked with sweat, the Den Den Mushi sounded. Ross lifted his feet and stomped and the empty space was struck by a loud explosion, leaving a layer of visible waves in the aftermath. At the same time. He conceded the pressure of gravity and stopped using Gepp (Moonwalk) and remained suspended in the air, and took out the Den Den Mushi. Whats up? Ross asked in a deep voice. Coming to the sky to exercise is a compulsory class every day and everyone is forbidden from disturbing him for ordinary small things. Fire Fist Ace entered the Totto Land. Robins voice was heard from the other end of the Den Den Mushi as she gave out an extremely brief report. Rosss expression paused for two seconds, he rubbed his neck making a kch kch sound and turned the Den Den Mushi off. Subsequently. He turned his head and headed down, he raises his foot and stomps the air that created a sonic boom. He charges into the Sky Island Birka at a very fast speed. Whiz! Just like a falling meteor, the distance of two kilometers is just around the corner. At the moment of landing, Ross changes the direction of gravity and lifts his feet to release the force. Eventually, he fell into the huge cloud-paved courtyard in the island and the island cloud at his foot rippled. Walking across the courtyard to the palace. Robin was already waiting here, holding a clean dress in her hand. Ross walked into the bathroom and took off his sweat-soaked clothes and rinsed briefly, then he walked out of the bathroom and took over the clothes in Robins hands. Did we fight with our people? Ross asked Robin as he dressed. Robin tilted her head and said, Well, it seems that he is trying to challenge you. Fire Fist is not weak. The average person is not his opponent. Laffitte has gone there. Ross buttoned a button as he heard Robins report and said calmly, Laffitte may not win against him. He may not win, but he wont lose either. Robin holding a black cloak came to Rosss behind to drape the cloak over Rosss back, and said, Shiliew of the Rain is planning to go over. Shiliew will be able to defeat him. Ross shook his head and said, Ill go by myself. Ok. Robin responded neatly and picked up the Den Den Mushi to inform Shiliew of the situation. Shiliew, who just wiped his blade, heard that Ross was going to go in person and he couldnt help shaking his head, and put the blade down again. He wanted to have some fun but Ross has grabbed the opportunity. But there is no way. Ross is the boss. Totto Land. Somewhere on a medium-sized island, the original cookie Citytown. In the streets of the little town, a figure bathed in flames confronts Laffitte dressed as a magician. Boss, that guy is a Division Captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates. Demon Sherrif Laffitte! Behind Ace, his crew reminded Ace gravely. Captain Aces hat was burning with a flame and a somewhat confident smile appeared on hIS face as he said, Before dealing with your boss, let me practice on you first. Ho ho ho ho ho, how young. Laffitte wasnt angry and instead, he showed a smile and slightly raised his head before saying, There are many people who challenge our Captain, but a large part of them cant even see Captains face. It s been a while since the Ghost Hand Pirates had become Yonk (Four Emperors). Occasionally, some Supernova, who conquered the first half of the Grand Line would come to challenge them. However, most of the newcomers cant even pass the level of Deputy Captain. Sometimes they cant even see the Division Captains, let alone challenge Ross. Because of Aces reputation in being the strongest Supernova in recent years, he is a very powerful newcomer of this generation. All other pirates in the same generation must be overtaken by Ace. Coupled with his Logia Devil Fruits ability, Laffitte chose to come over in person instead of sending a deputy Captain. Ohh? Ace smiled and said, But there will always be someone who can break it all. Fire Fist! The moment his voice fell, Aces eyes flashed and the flame of his right fist burst, waving at Laffitte. A blazing flame swept across the street at once, slamming against Laffitte. It is indeed Logias ability Laffittes eyes narrowed slightly as he jumped decisively to the top of a roof, avoiding Aces frontal attack. At the same time, he pulled out his handguns around his waist and fired at Ace continuously. Si! Si! Si! Three bullets wrapped ain Armament Haki flew out. As a Logia user, Ace is almost invincible in the first half of the Grand Line and he often ignores the attacks of others directly. But in the New World, he had already come in contact with Haki and it was clear that New Worlds people were very different from his opponents in the first half. Whiz! Ace did not hesitate and decisively chose to dodge. However, the angle of Laffittes bullet shot was tricky, and there was still a scratch on Aces shoulder, tearing his clothes, leaving a scar on his skin. If this had happened in the first half of the Grand Line, Ace would have been surprised when this happens, but it is not a surprise in the New World. His face sank slightly and his fingers moved in a gesture of guns. Fire guns! Bang Bang Bang Bang! The fingers instantly turned into flames, like the guns of the hand, shooting flames toward Laffitte. Laffitte shook his cloak and took out his red wooden cane and wriggled like paper through the flames, avoiding them all. Was that Observation Haki Aces eyes flickered slightly, but it seemed that he had already expected this and a trace of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Like Luffy and others, he is a clueless person, but in the process of battle, he doesnt know whether its a talent or something else, but he can often grasp a lot of details. Burst! As Ace read the situation, a slightly different flame suddenly burst out as it passed by Laffitte. The flames instantly turned into a raging fire. Laffittes complexion changed slightly, he jumped decisively and escaped towards the distance, and immediately tore off his lighted cloak and threw it onto the street below. Can sense my attack, or am I being careless? Ace said and waved his arms and the two flames waved away as if the two sword energy hit Laffitte. CHAPTER 347 ROSS APPEARS Laffitte frowned slightly and retreated under Aces strength. He doesnt have a wide range of attack methods, and Aces fire can hurt him, and he doesnt want to fight Ace in close range. For long-range combat, the Logia ability of Flame-Flame Fruit can undoubtedly prevail over his attacks. Great Many of Aces crew members who were watching not far away looked at Ace with great respect. The Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates are not so powerful. Yeah, A Division Captain, whose name scared countless people is noting in front of Ace. Because they had seen Akagami (Red Hair) with Ace before and had a party with the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates, they have no fear towards a Yonk (Four Emperors). Now looking at Ace showing his mighty power, forcing Laffitte to keep avoiding him, they all smiled. However. Laffitte, who was constantly avoiding Aces attacks, looked calm. He just didnt want to fight with Ace in close range but it did not mean that he wasnt without resistance nor was he overwhelmed. Whiz! Seizing a chance, Laffitte rushed towards Ace and punched him. His fist instantly clung to Armament Haki, and it became dark and hardened. Ace wasnt afraid and a Fire Fist waved towards Laffitte. Bang! A fiery flame exploded in the field. Laffitte backed out quickly in the flames, not wanting his clothes to be burned by the flames. Ace kept his fists and the flames tumbling fiercely, he roared and continued to rush towards Laffitte. Armament Haki can either be strong or weak. Laffittes Armament Haki is not strong. He is better at Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki. He is a bad matchup against any Logia Devil Fruit abilities, especially the Flame-Flame Fruit. Will we fight till one of us consume all of our stamina. Laffitte avoided the flames that Ace swept over and continued to step back, shaking his head slightly. Since his Armament Haki attacked Aces Fire Fist and was weaker in attack, then he could only rely on his Observation Haki to find a chance for an attack, or fight till Ace consumes his stamina. However, the stamina of Logia Devil Fruit users are all perverted, they use powerful abilities and their consumption of stamina is very low, much lower than those of Paramecia ability users. However. After retreating from Laffitte, Ace did not continue to attack, but looked at Laffitte from afar. Why, arent you planning on doing anything except retreat? He raised his head, his arms still burning with flames, and said, If you dont think you can win, call your boss as soon as possible. Laffittes expression sank when he heard this and a heart-wrenching expression appeared on his face. It doesnt matter what the rest of it is, he can treat him as a kid if he wants to, but if he wants to call Ross out, he cant pretend that he didnt hear such words. Cant deal with Fire Fist, Call Ross? You must be kidding! Who the hell does this kid think he is? I just cant pretend that I didnt hear it. Laffittes face showed a dark expression. However. Just when he was about to start, he suddenly noticed something and turned to look at the sky behind him. He saw a dark shadow breaking through the distant sky from at a very fast speed, like a meteor, and fell to this island. At the same time. Ace also noticed the appearance of the dark shadow and looked up into the sky and his eyes flashed with a strange light. What is that? Many of the crew members behind him also subconsciously looked into the sky and saw the dark shadow falling down. One second two seconds three seconds The shadows were getting closer and closer and as it was about to reach over the City town, it disappeared strangely, like black flashes. What the? Ace frowned as he watched the dark shadow suddenly disappear from his sight. Many other crew members also showed inexplicable expressions. They were just looking at the dark shadow and it disappeared in front of their eyes. But when they strangely retracted their gazes and looked back at Laffitte, they all stopped. They saw that a figure had appeared behind Laffitte without them knowing. I didnt notice him at all Ace looked at the figure and there was a hint of alertness in his eyes. He didnt even realize how the shadowy figure had appeared! At a slight pause in breathing and a change in complexion, Laffitte stopped his darkened expressions and saluted the newcomer. Lord Ross. I didnt expect you to come here in person. Ross! Ghost Hand Ross! There is no need to talk too much, just one word had already make Aces crew members breathe heavily. There stood the most powerful man in the world, Captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates, Ghost Hand Ross! Although they have all seen the wanted poster of Ross, no one expected that this man, who is called the most dangerous existence in the world, looks no different from ordinary people. They could not help but think of Akagami (Red Hair). While having a party with the crew of Akagami (Red Hair), they were all wondering, is this guy really a Yonk (Four Emperors) of New World? !! Wearing wooden trousers, stubborn beard, shirt buttons loosened, he had no image at all. If you compare him with Akagami (Red Hair), it seems that Ross actually had some standards. Are you Ghost Hand? Looking at Ross, Ace spoke with a smile on his face. Since going to the sea, he has not encountered any person who could defeat him along the way, and he had almost swept the entire first half off the Grand Line. The World Government tried to use Shichibukais position to solicit him, but he rejected it directly, and he didnt care. After visiting Akagami (Red Hair), he had only one goal. Win against the strongest person in the sea! And now. He finally came to Ross, or Ross appeared to him! Yes. Arent you looking for me? Im here. Ross turned around, facing Ace directly, his gaze remained on him for a brief amount of time, Ace looked no different from his memory. Ace took a breath and the figure of his mother and the Pirate King flashed in his mind, the goal and answer he was looking for. All this passed away in an instant. He looked at Ross, his eyes filled with fighting intent as he said: Then, lets have a fight! Captain Ace Seeing that Ace directly challenged Ross, many of his crew members swallowed their saliva. Although Ross looks no different from ordinary people, his reputation of the strongest is still there! However, they have followed Ace all the way here and they never saw Ace lose to anyone. Ghost Hand Pirates High-Level cadre and the Division Captain Laffitte was also completely suppressed by Ace just now. Maybe Ace can defeat Ross! As the newcomers who have just stepped into the New World, they have not really experienced the power of New World. In their eyes, as long as they win against Ross, they will reach the pinnacle of the sea. Although this is indeed the case, they are only seeing the tip of the iceberg of the power possessed by a Yonk (Four Emperors) in the real New World. Its way too early for you to compete against me. Ross had his hands on behind his back as he looked at Ace and said quietly, You are too anxious. For the vast majority of pirates, they have grown quickly in the first half, but their journey in the New World has been extremely slow. The more power increases, the harder it is to grow. It may only take a few years to reach the level of MarineRear Admiral, but it may take more than a decade to reach the level of vice-admiral. Even if he has extremely high talents and tried his best to train, it took him six years to climb to the position of a Yonk (Four Emperors). What about Ace? Planning to reach that position within a year? Do you refer to moving towards your goal as anxious? Ace hesitated, and there was no feeling of the younger generation facing the older generation, he only has the mentality like Luffy. Ross raised his head and glanced at the crew behind Ace and said casually, You think they and you can carry the name of Yonk (Four Emperors)? The crew members who were swept by Rosss eyes all felt an inexplicable palpitation in their heart and the forehead overflowed with cold sweat. Ace noticed that his crew was being looked at by Rosss spirit and his face sank gradually. No one is born to be a Yonk (Four Emperors) and these things are not important, as long as I can win against you, it will be enough! As his voice fell, the flames on his body suddenly rose and he turned into a fireman. Leave it to me, Lord Ross. Laffitte stepped forward. Ross reached out and stopped him. Step back. Yes. Since Ross had decided to do it himself, Laffitte naturally didnt have any reason to reject and he resigned and stepped aside. CHAPTER 348 ORDINARY FIS Zizi! The flames on Aces body continued to burn. Ross stood there calmly, without any fluctuations in his complexion, as if not facing a fight and just feeling the sea breeze. Aces momentum continued to rise. At last. When the momentum reached its zenith, he shot out. Hiken(Fire Fist)! The most common and most frequently used trick was used by Ace, a punch was thrown, and a fiery flame swept through. In an instant, this flame swallowed up the entire street! But. In the face of this explosion, Ross just stretched out his white palm and waved it gently. It was as if the wind had danced, and the blaze of flames had collapsed and annihilated in front of Ross with one wave! For a time. Countless people stared! Aces Fire Fist has no effect at all! Someone murmured in his heart and his heart vibrated violently. Although Ross had been expected to be very strong, he may be the toughest opponent Ace has faced so far. But he swipes the Fire Fist with a wave of his hand, he is a little stronger than they had expected! It has no effect at all. As Expected, If you can be defeated so easily, you will not be a Yonk (Four Emperors). Ace did not feel discouraged. After realizing that Ross was a bit strong, he was even warier of him. He must win! Hibashira(Fire Piller)! Ace leaped up and his arms swayed suddenly, and a towering flame spun up, turning into a pillar of fire, and falling down. The pillar of fire fell down and devoured everything in all directions. The blazing flame enveloped Ross for a moment, while Laffitte, who was not far away, stepped back to the distance, avoiding the aftermath of the flame. It Hit! Somehow it works. Many of Aces crew members also stepped back to avoid the aftermath, with a touch of excitement in their eyes. But. Just as their words fell, a calm voice came out of the flames, without any emotion in it. Is that all the power you have? Ross walked out of the flames and the blaze of flames scattered around his body, unable to reach even a trace of his clothes. Aces complexion changed slightly, and he couldnt help but take a deep breath. Rosss strength was still a little bit beyond his expectation, but along the way, he also encountered many powerful opponents, such as Marines Headquarters Vice-Admiral, but he had defeated them all one by one! This is just the beginning! Ace snorted and his arms began to glow with fiery flames, the flames condensed into a shape of a spear and he threw it suddenly towards Ross. Shinka: Shiranui(God Fire: Unknown Fire)! While throwing the flame spear, Ace didnt pause for a moment and rushed over again, his whole body burst into flame and the flame spear was continuously thrown towards Ross continuously. Bang! Bang! Bang! Each spear fell down like a heavy cannonball and kept exploding in the field. The tremendous momentum continues to erupt and the flames ignite and burn, forcing the onlookers to retreat. Boss Ace The blazing heatwave swept in all directions causing Aces crew to cover their faces and stared nervously into the field. Ace threw fire spears one after another, and his figure wandered around the field, like a magic weapon. But. Just as he threw more than twenty fire spears in a row, a fist suddenly emerged from the fire and landed on Aces stomach. The sky was full of flames. Aces figure was severely hit and he flew backward instantly, smashing a building and creating a human-shaped mark on the wall. The flames dissipated, and Rosss figure emerged from the flames, slowly retracting his fists. Boss Ace! No way. The faces of Aces crew members changed as it shows a bit of horror. Ace attacked for a long time and it had no effect. Ross just punched Ace like he was swatting a fly! How could the gap be so big! Cough! Ace, whose back had smashed a cobweb of cracks into the cookie wall, coughed up a mouthful of blood, broke free from the wall and jumped down. Well, your physics is not bad. Ross looked at Ace and spoke quietly. If someone totally relies on the fruit ability, their physical skill began to get very ordinary, Ace should not have been able to get up from this punch. Even if there is no fruit ability, Ace is very strong, which can be seen from Aces consistently winning against Luffy and Blackbeards evaluation of him as he fought against the Blackbeard Pirates. Ace gasped twice. You are the strongest opponent I have encountered so far! He took a deep breath and a look of determination and conviction appeared in his eyes. But he will win! Mirror fire! Aces flame exploded again, rising into a monstrous flame, sweeping away towards Ross. He knows that general long-range attacks have no effect on Ross, so while performing this trick, he also charged towards Ross under the cover of the mirror fire. Huh! Ross waved his hand, and the horrible mirror fire was broken apart by him. But at this moment, Aces fist mixed with flames appeared in front of Ross. Ross waved. Boom! Aces fist was blocked and the flame rolled back in Aces own direction, unable to invade Ross. Ohh, Haki? Ross glanced at Aces fist slightly with surprise. Not only did he feel the flame on Aces fist, he also felt a hint of Armament Haki on it. Unconsciously inspired? Self-awakening? He has to say that the talents of the brothers, Ace and Luffy really make many people jealous. Dont underestimate me! Ace roared loudly as his fist mixed with flames and faint Armament Haki and he punched it towards Ross. Ross looked calm as he began to observe Aces potential while waving his arm to parry Aces attack, despite Aces crazy onslaught, he always blocked all of Aces attacks. Even if its Haki, is it only that level? Ross muttered, after blocking Ace for more than twenty consecutive attacks, he punched out with one hand and broke Aces defense. No power of distortion is used. It was an ordinary punch. Boom! The flames froze all over the sky as Aces whole body moved, his body bent into a shrimp shape instantly, and the air vaguely rippled. His figure flew out like a stray bullet. Bang! Bang! Bang! Three buildings were smashed in a row and Aces back slammed against a stone wall before stopping, and blood spewed from his mouth. Ac Boss Ace He is not an opponent at all, how can this happen, but the strength of Ace boss is Many Ace crew members looked at this scene showing a bit of panic, even if they are stupid, they have realized something at this moment and what they have realized is the gap between Ace and Ross. Its like sky and earth, an insurmountable gap! Its not that Ace is weak, but Rosss strength his strength is a bit outrageous! CHAPTER 349 SOUL-SOUL FRUIT APPEARS Cough! Keke! Ace was embedded in the stone wall, coughing violently, with blood flowing from his face. With his cough, he kept spitting out a little blood. He struggled to free himself from the rock wall and fell to the ground, staggering over his body and almost falling, he was barely able to stand. How could the gap be so big He looked a little vaguely in Rosss direction, unable to remain calm. Although Laffitte was a bit tricky, he has the faith to overcome him with his power. However, Laffitte is already the top rank member of Ghost Hand Pirates. Even though Ross is the Captain, he shouldnt be too much better than Laffitte. But the truth is. Laffitte and Ross are not on the same level at all, it can even be said Laffitte is two or three levels behind Ross! Ace! Are you OK? Many of Aces subordinates came to their senses and rushed to help Ace. At this time, Ross also slowly walked towards Ace. You guys hurry up and run! Aces eyes regained clarity and he looked at Ross coming over, he pushed away his supporters and shouted at them to run away. At the same time, he crossed his hands in front of him and took a step forward. Enjomo (Flame-Up Net)! The fiery flames intertwined, instantly turning into a large net and appeared behind Ace, blocking everyone behind him. Captain! Ace, what are you doing ?! Heated by the blazing flames, many of Aces men were panic-stricken. However, their eyes were blocked by the flames, and they could no longer see Ace, and Ace did not talk to them anymore and stared firmly at Ross coming over. Our battle, its not over yet. That is to say, I cant chase after your subordinates until the end of your battle with me, right, you are quite smart and clever. Ross looked at Ace calmly. Ace didnt respond. He waved his arms, and the fiery flames shot wildly in all directions. Dai Enkai (Great Flame Commandment) The circles of flame swirled and turned into towering pillars of fire, converging towards the sky, and finally turning into a huge fireball, intertwined on the sky. Flame Emperor! Ace lifted the bright fireball like the sun with one hand, staring at Ross without flinching. Ross glanced at the fireball and could easily determine the power it contained. Ace is similar to Strawhat Luffy in that both have some of the characteristics of being strong at times and can grow in Battle. There is something to be said for the power of this move. Ahhh! The next moment, Ace screamed angrily while ignited all of his power and smashed the huge fireball like a sun at Ross. Ross stood right where he was, his right hand folded into a clenched fist, and he simply waved. He did take it a little more seriously. Bang! The huge fireball stopped short before coming to Ross fist. It was like a mass of mud, stirred by some force, and the whole fireball suddenly spun up and turned into a flame vortex. Hii! Under Rosss punch, Aces Flame Emperor was like a faint flame and collapsed! The whole street straight ahead seemed to be swept away by some kind of shock, the buildings were smashed to pieces, and the earth was thrown out of a gully that spread out into the sky! Aces body flew up high and he fell heavily on the edge of the battlefield. There wasnt any more movement. Its over. Laffitte watched this scene and stretched his body, he walked to Ross and said: He is a Logia user, maybe he is not dead yet, do you want to catch him? How are our people? Ross didnt answer, but looked at Laffitte and asked back. Laffitte said: There were some injuries but there was no death. That boy held back his power. Oh. Ross slightly nodded and said, Then ignore him. If he plans to stay, report back to me. After leaving a word, Rosss figure flickered, reached a height of hundreds of meters, and then crossed a black arc, flying into the sky. Inside the Sky Island Palace. By the time Ross returned, Robin had also received the specific event information. The power of Flame-Flame Fruit, dont you plan to make him stay? When Ross walked into the palace, Robin just happened to hang the Den Den Mushi and asked Ross. Although they cannot remove Devil Fruit from the user, just like Katakuri but it is also feasible to imprison and slowly transform them. We dont need to. The Flame-Flame Fruit is nothing, I want to see what happens next. Ross took off his coat and his eyes flickered. Ace didnt go to Whitebeard and ran over here to challenge him, this change in event surprised him. What kind of development will happen after he is defeated, it is something that Ross cant predict. Will Ace go to Whitebeard again? If not, then all the subsequent developments will be off-axis, and he will have to pay attention to future events. But. Ross is not very concerned about these things. With his status and power today, wars and the like are no longer sufficient to be called as key events. All he has to do is wait, wait for Soul-Soul Fruit to appear and take it into his own hands, and then use that fruit to exchange souls with Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit to execute the Yonk (Four Emperors) total extinction plan! After three months. Fire Fist Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates. Slightly unreasonable, but not unexpected. He defeated Shichibukai Jinbe then got defeated by Whitebeard and joined the Whitebeard Pirates Listening to what Robin reported to him, Ross rested his chin on one hand. Ace defeated Jinbe, but it was not unexpected, Ace fought him and he must have grown a bit in terms of power. However, he still joined the Whitebeard Pirates, which was something that Ross could think of, but he was still slightly surprised. Is this the so-called Mysterious Plot Armor? With a murmur in his heart, Ross ignored it and set it aside. At this moment, the Den Den Mushi, which was placed on the documents in the distance sounded. Robin picked the Den Den Mushi to answer. However. After listening to two words, her expression changed slightly. Ross, Soul-Soul Fruit appeared. It was such a simple sentence, but Ross, who was still leaning on the back of the sofa and was lying there lazily suddenly opened his eyes the next moment. In those eyes, there was an unprecedented sharpness, he looked like a hungry sleepy tiger who has smelled his prey for a moment! Where? There isnt any need to talk more and he just asked the simplest question. Robin took the Den Den Mushi in one hand and took a deep breath and said slowly: Holy Land Mariejois. CHAPTER 350 HOLY LAND MARIEJOIS Mariejois? Hearing Robins words, Ross was slightly surprised and said, Are you sure? The place where Soul-Soul Fruit appeared turned out to be Mariejois. This is probably the worst place in the world. The problem is that his intelligence agency has not penetrated into the World Government. How did they know that Soul-Soul Fruit has appeared in Mariejois? Its the World Governments Devil Fruit collection channel. Robin brought the Den Den Mushi over and put it on the coffee table. The voice of Deputy Captain Kaku from the intelligence team came from the Den Den Mushi. The World Government has been collecting various types of Devil Fruits. The Soul-Soul Fruit is one of the fruits discovered and collected by the World Government. By the time we got the news, it was too late to rob it. Devil Fruits are one of the fundamental forces in this world, especially those powerful Logia Devil Fruit, who can shape the top power in almost a short time. For Devil Fruit. The collection of World governments is undoubtedly more exaggerated than that of any single power. Ross sometimes even wonders whether Doflamingo got the Flame-Flame Fruit through World Government channels in the original series. After all, as the original tenryubito, he has connections with Gorsei (Five Elder Stars). But all of this ended with Doflamingos death, there is no longer an answer. World Government Rosss eyes flashed. The Soul-Soul Fruit was found by the World Government, and he was not surprised by it. No intelligence agency in the World can be compared to the World Government. The World Government can even monitor the Yonk (Four Emperors) forces and there are seagulls flying here and there all the time in Totto Land. Due to the high position, the space is too large to kill them and they are too many, so they can only ignore them. Can you be sure that it was sent to Mariejois? Ross asked in a deep voice. Kaku said: Maybe its not at Mariejois yet, but it should be almost to the Red Line, and now its too late for us to rob it halfway. Im very sorry, Lord Ross, if our intelligence was a little faster There was a hint of apology and blame in his tone. If they had gotten this information half a day ahead of time, they would have the opportunity to snatch the Devil Fruit halfway, but the fact is that they dont even have half a day. Once the Soul-Soul Fruit enters Holy Land Mariejois, it is equivalent to entering the forbidden area! Although Fisher Tiger climbed the Red Line and created trouble in the Holy Land many years ago by releasing slaves, the place where the slaves were detained was in the most general outer area guarded by Mariejois forces. Fisher Tiger just set a fire and opened some cages before fleeing. Something like a Devil Fruit, especially the Soul-Soul Devil Fruit which belonged to a former Yonk (Four Emperors), once it is acquired by the World Government, I am afraid that it will be immediately sent to the center of Holy Land Mariejois, to the most guarded treasure house! There is not only the base camp of CP0 but also the presence of the Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong and Gorosei (Five Elder Stars)! No one dared break into there. Marine Headquarters has been violated and Impel Down has been attacked and broken out from, but only Holy Land Mariejois remained untouched, even Hundred Beast Kaido, has not broken in that place! Once Hundred Beast Kaido tried to break into Mariejois, but before he could climb the Red Line, he was stopped by the Marine Admirals. You dont need to blame yourself. Ross calmly said, The governments intelligence agency is far superior to ours. For you to even get the news of Soul-Soul Fruit is a good thing, you have done a good job. Robin stood with a somber expression on her face, knowing how dangerous Holy Land Mariejois was. What are you going to do? It should be obvious by now I will go to the Holy Land. Ross sat up straight and took the teacup and took a sip, his eyes showed an unprecedented sharpness and he slowly opened his mouth. He needs to get the Soul-Soul Fruit. Even if the said fruit enters Holy Land or enters in the deepest parts of Hell, he will break into the hell and grab it from the devils claw if he needs to! It has been more than half a year since the war with Whitebeard. Except for his training, he has been idle for more than half a year. He couldnt even loosen his bones against his fight with Ace. This information came at the right time. Lets see what secrets are hidden inside Holy Land Mariejois! You are being reckless. Robin closed her eyes and spoke. She is familiar with Rosss character and knows that Ross cant be stopped by anyone when he makes a decision. Dont Worry. Ross touched her chin and raised it gently and said, Mariejois wont be able to keep me and theres a need to learn more about the real power of the World Government, so we wont be caught by surprise when we go to war with them later. The World Government knows almost everything about the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, including information about the Ghost Hand Pirates, but no one knows much about the World Government. The Void Century. The Empty Throne. Im who is above Gorsei (Five Elder Stars). CP0 Chief of the previous generation and the current generation and the previous Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong who is an Admiral Level Power House Everything is unknown and the center of Holy Land Mariejois is always shrouded in mist, like the abyss of hell, no one had dared to invade it and step on it for hundreds of years. Huu Knowing that she couldnt stop Ross, Robin exhaled and said, Wait a minute, Ill organize the World Government information. Since she cant stop him, she will help Ross in reducing the crisis as much as possible and hand over all the intelligence about Holy Land Mariejois to Ross. Good. Ross nodded. He has absolute self-confidence in his current strength and ability, but there is no such thing as enough information about your enemy. He should read whatever they have collected so far otherwise he may find himself in a situation where he had entered the Holy Land but couldnt find where the Soul-Soul Fruit is placed. Half an hour later, Robin returned while holding a few documents. The document contains the distribution map of Holy Lands Mariejois building structure, as well as information about the Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong, and other government High-Level officials. Mariejoiss structure is not complicated. The Red Line traverses the sea, dividing the Grand Line into the first half and the second half, while Mariejois is at the center of the junction. In the front is the heavily guarded New World G1 branch base, and in the back is Marine Headquarters Marineford. This defensive force is enough to deter countless forces and they dare not invade the Holy Land. Behind the G1 branch base and in front of Marineford, near the Red Line, there are two huge Red harbors. Officials from World Government, as well as Marines, boarded the towering Red Line and stepped into Holy Land Mariejois through the special transportation of these harbors. In front of Mariejois is a huge forest manor with artificial greenery. Deep down in the forest manor is the Pangaea Castle. That is the core of the power of the World Government! Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and the Chief Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong almost all stay in the Pangaea Castle, which is also the only place where Marines and government officials are allowed to enter. Along the Pangaea Castle, it is the Dragon Gate, which leads to Tenryubitos residence. Except for Tenryubito and their slaves and attendants, no one is allowed to enter that place, including Marine Admirals! Steel Bone Kong Ross held the Steel Bone Kong information profile in his hands and was lost in thought. The data shows the achievements of Steel Bone Kong. During his time as Marine Admiral, he defeated numerous well-known pirates with strong strength. However, he is now as old as Whitebeard. The information about Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) is completely vacant. Ross quickly flipped through the material and could not find the specifics of Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), let alone Im. At present, I am afraid that there are not many people who know that Im exists, and naturally it cannot appear in the data. Yes. Robin nodded, saying: Their information is completely unknown, but according to some clues, Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) should not have any Battle power. Its possible, Ross nodded. And even if they have some power, theyre not young, how much they can they fight. Even if the strength of Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) has reached the level of a Marine Admiral, they are old now and their power will be inferior in some aspects, their power would be close to Marco and Katakuri. For people like Marco and Katakuri, Ross can deal with them calmly and smoothly. But. All this is only based on the analysis and judgment of data. The specific situation would only be known once he is inside the Holy Land in person to really confirm it. Chapter 351 Arrives in Holy Land Red Line. Riding the bubble cable car, a group of World Government people were escorting a large number of items as arrived at Port 3 on the edge of Holy Land. Finally delivered the Heavenly Tribute. Some government officials were relieved to finally reach the harbor. Escorting the Heavenly Tribute is not a perfectly safe job, although CP0 escorts it all the way but occasionally looting occurs. And. The collection of Heavenly Tribute is not a thing that can be accomplished peacefully. Some countries and its people are going through poverty, they can not even afford to eat so it is even more impossible for them to pay the Heavenly Tribute. They are already on the edge of a cliff. It was a tough job for you. A government official spoke to the CP0 member. The CP0 member waved his hand and said, It was nothing, now it will be delivered to the World Noble. Yes, let me escort you over. The World Government officials will be returning to the Pangaea Castle and CP0 will perform the remaining transfer work. Several CP0 people nodded, this is not the first time that they had escorted Heavenly Tribute. And just then. A CP0 Captain suddenly looked strangely in one direction. What happened? The person next to him asked. CP0 Captain released his Observation Haki to feel everything in that direction but he could not feel anything and shook his head. Its nothing Maybe it was a misconception. Just after the Heavenly Tribute had departed, the Void Distortion suddenly appeared beside some red rock in the direction where that CP0 captain had looked. It was Ross. He did not choose to invade directly from above Holy Land, because according to the intelligence he had learned, there was some kind of special equipment to monitor real-time situations above Mariejois to prevent anyone from trying to invade and pass from the sky. Using Light Distortion and Sound Distortion, he moved from the bottom of the sea to the Red Line easily. However. He was nearly caught by the CP0s Captain and narrowly escaped detection. Light Distortion and Sound Distortion were unable to escape from Kenbonshoku Haki. And the only way to avoid Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki is the trick he just used To hide inside the Space itself. Utilizing the ability of Space Distortion to wrap the entire space around him, so that even the Observation Haki can only pass through the Distorted Space and cannot reach Ross body. Naturally. This ability also has its flaws, that is, he also gets trapped in a single position and it is hard for him to move in any direction. If he wants to move in this state, it is tantamount to maintaining the space that surrounds him like a quilt, while still moving the space ahead of him and around him to move. Although Ross can do it, but the consumption of stamina is too large and the speed of movement is too slow, so this ability can only be regarded as simple and will only be used to escape detection. Heavenly Tribute Ross stared at the direction in which the CP0 and the government officials leaving and there was no fluctuation in his eyes. He has seen too much about the ugly side of the world, and he will not be moved by this. Tenryubito has been doing these kinds of things for a long time now and nobody does anything to prevent it because they know that nothing will change. But now that he is here, the person who will do something about this and more will not be the Revolutionary Army or the Pirate King, it will be him. He took a step forward. Ross followed the people who escorted the Heavenly Tribute and quickly passed the artificial green forest in the first half of Mariejois and reached the World Governments center, Pangaea Castle. This building, which is not so tall gives people a majestic and grandeur feeling even when one looks at it from a distance. Even MarineHeadquarters, which Ross had destroyed, was no match for the seemingly defenseless Pangaea Castle. Because it represents the center of the World Government, the supreme power of the World Government stands here. Pangaea Castle Ross glanced at the Pangaea Castle, his eyes shimmering slightly. He did not use his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki to perceive the situation, because there is no shortage of strong people who are proficient in Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki inside that palace. Once he uses Kenbonshoku (Observation) to perceive something, the other party can also discover his existence. Just to say. Ross is not afraid of Gorsei (Five Elder Stars). Because Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) are just the top five people among tenryubito. As tenryubito, they possess a large political power, but they dont have much power themself and can only deploy powerhouses to do their bidding. Will a Tenryubito go to Battle? No, they wont. They have no experience of any real fight and they arent that strong to begin with anyway. Even if they use the governments intelligence department to collect the top Devil Fruit and eat them, they still wont be any stronger than a Marine Admiral. What really made Ross hesitate was the person hiding behind the scenes. Why would Doflamingo know that a Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit user can use Perpetual Youth Surgery? There is no doubt that someone must have used this operation in the past. What happens if a person lives for hundreds of years? There may be limits to physical fitness and the like, but things like Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki and Armament Haki will probably reach a terrifying level. At least Ross is pretty sure that if he lived for a few hundred years, he would be able to handle his current self with on hand tied behind his back. Naturally. It doesnt mean that he is afraid. Today he is recognized as the strongest person in the world! Since a long time ago, he has never had any fear of World Government, and now he is the strongest person in the world, it is even more impossible for him to fear the World Government! The Soul-Soul Fruit should be placed in the core warehouse, but it still needs to be confirmed. Ross murmured. Holy Land Mariejois has a huge warehouse that stores all kinds of weapons, contraband and the like. In addition to the warehouse on the side, there is a core warehouse, which stores extremely valuable things. Even Tenryubitos are prohibited from taking anything from the core warehouse without the permission of Gorsei (Five Elder Stars). For the location of the core warehouse, Ross has learned it from the intelligence, which is a favorable situation for him. Whoosh! Ross used Light Distortion to reflect the image of a government official in his memory onto himself, replacing his appearance. Looking at the Pangaea Castle in front of him, Ross walked forward. He doesnt need to worry about being spotted. Except for the top practitioner of Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, the general Kenbonshoku (Observation) users would only be able to sense human movements and not his figure. Therefore, the external image produced by Light Distortion can still confuse most people. Quickly. Ross walked to the main gate of the Pangaea Castle and the guards outside Pangaea Castle saw Ross and saluted at Ross and let him enter the palace without any obstruction. After entering the Pangaea Castle, Ross walked around naturally. After going around, he began to look for the accurate news of Soul-Soul Fruit. Although he hasnt done intelligence collection for a long time, he would still be able to do this. Not long after. Ross got accurate intelligence. The Soul-Soul Fruit was sent to Holy Land Mariejois one day ago and was logged into the warehouse. It was indeed included in the core warehouse. CHAPTER 352 VIOLENT BREAK Core warehouse. Rosss eyes flickered and he soon came to the underground area of the Holy Land Mariejois. Both the open warehouse and the core warehouse are located in Mariejois Underground area, except that the location of the core warehouse is more hidden and it has more defenses. Mariejoiss Underground. What emerges here is the very ugly side of the so-called Holy Land, those so-called Self-Walking Trails are all pulled by humans. Ross knows that the World rulers are an existence that wants to express the darkness hidden under the light, but in this world, it is a real thing. For World Government, it is not difficult for Vegapunk to study a mechanically-powered self-propelled trail, but they are willing to use an artificial pully system using humans because it looks more interesting to the Tenryubitos, and it also gives the untouchables something to survive upon. Silence. Ross body slipped into the darkness. After using Light Distortion, he became completely invisible. No one would be able to capture his existence unless his location was swept by Observation Haki. Mariejois Underground area consists of a huge space, but Ross already has intelligence on the map, and soon found the huge warehouse. There were four guards at the gate of this warehouse, and two guards were patrolling back and forth, but they didnt find Ross. Ross came to a wall of the warehouse. Gou! Ross reaches out and presses his palm against the wall and used a little of his Space Distortion power upon it. The wall grunted like mud and became embedded upon itself, and Ross crossed the wall in this step. After Ross entered, the wall was restored to its original state. Obviously, it was not the wall but the space that was distorted. Inside the warehouse. There was a dim light and a magnificent and wide scene presented itself to him, numerous standard swords and guns were neatly arranged here and they went on until his eyes can see. Although Marine Headquarters also has an arsenal, it is far from being comparable to the World Government. Whenever there is a lack of firearms on the Marine side, the government will move some of this stuff to fill the vacancy. Step, step, step. Ross was walking in the warehouse. Although he knew that there was monitoring in the warehouse, he didnt care. After using Light Distortion, the monitoring Den Den Mushi wouldnt ve able to capture his figure. Each step fell with a flash, and about a minute later Ross crossed the huge hall in front of the warehouse and went to the rear. Its here. There is a house like structure built by Seastone. The house is not large. Compared to the outer warehouse where the standard swords and guns are placed, it is much too small. This is undoubtedly the core warehouse. Seastone Ross frowned and reached the outside area of the core warehouse. This core warehouse is surprisingly thick in thickness and is likely to be made of a layer of Seastone, a layer of high-strength steel, and so on. Because the outer wall of the Impel Down is made in the same way as the core warehouse, it is not worse than the huge Impel Down in terms of defense. Although this kind of outer wall is not unbreakable like Pognlyph stele, it is not easy to break it either, because it is too thick and it is also divided into multiple layers, which can bear the force uniformly as a whole. Perhaps I can get inside using my abilities. Ross watched the outer wall of the core warehouse groan slightly. Although the inside and the outside are completely isolated, the power of space should be able to connect the inside to the outside, and he can directly penetrate into it in a way that crosses the space? Ross tried to use Space Distortion. However. This is the core warehouse, which is completely enclosed from inside and outside by Seastone and it is not so easy to cross. Seastone is like a magnetic field, which interferes with the radars position scan. And Ross s space movement has always shortened the long-distance space to a short distance, which is similar to the ability of walking thousands of miles in a single step. One step is equivalent to a long walk. This ability is not teleportation. It is fundamentally different from Laws Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit ability Shambles which does teleport things in the space. Ross has also been working on how to teleport himself directly from one space point to another but he has not been successful so far. Cant do it. The Distorted space in front of him finally recovered. That being the case There was a flash of coldness in his eyes, and he walked towards the thick wall. He clenched his fist and punched the wall. Bang! This punch is incredible. This is the punch that Ross as Yonk (Four Emperors) and as the worlds strongest man, went all out to make and in terms of the positive attack power, it can rival Whitebeard at his peak! Bang Long! The tremor of this punch shocked the Underground warehouse like an earthquake, sending weapons crashing down. The guards outside the warehouse also became unstable, their figures were shaking and swaying and they almost fell down. What what happened! Is this an earthquake ?! The guards managed to steady themselves and looked at each other in some kind of shock. They had never heard of an earthquake on the Red Line. Just when they were in doubt. Bang! There was another bang that shook the earth. This time it wasnt just the Underground, it was the Red Line on the ground, too, and there was the sound of crashing teacups inside the Pangaea Castle. What is happening! Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong stood up and shouted. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), located in the middle of the highest level of power, also nearly toppled along with the sofa and stood awkwardly looking at the broken teacups on the ground. ? All of them were stunned. Bang! Bang! Bang! Just as their expressions changed, a continuous stream of Bangs started to sound out and the entire Holy Land Mariejois shook with it! In the tenryubito residence behind the Dragon Gate, countless tenryubito screamed in horror and ran out in chaos. Some people were riding the slaves, and they screamed the slaves to climb quickly. As a result, they fell off the slaves back and were directly hit in the face by the overturned table. The whole Holy Land looked like it was full of chickens and dogs as the highest humans behaved like them. At the same time, on the outside of the Underground core warehouse, Ross was punching the wall, he punched again and again without holding anything back, hitting the outer wall of the core warehouse. Bang! Bang! Bang! Under Rosss continuous punch, the outer walls of the core warehouse were already visibly deformed and cracked, with steel layers barely visible inside. Under successive punches, the steel layer also shattered, revealing a special layer of ore further down. I dont know how thick the walls of the core warehouse is, how many floors it has, and what kind of relief frame it was designed with, but there is no doubt that it is not as hard as the Poneglyph stone. Seastones outer wall had little effect on Ross. Now, even if Ross doesnt use his Devil Fruit powers, he can literally shatter the average Seastone with one punch formed by Armament Haki alone. Seastone layer, steel layer, cotton black ore layer Layers of outer walls, hammered by Rosss fists, crack one after another and spread deeper. No one knows how long it has been. Bang! A loud Bang sounded and the entire outer wall was completely smashed, and Ross smashed a big three-foot hole in the wall! CHAPTER 353 COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF! Huh that was too hard. Ross looked at the smashed wall and touched his hand. I dont know if the stones and materials splashed inside the warehouse have broken the contents inside. If two people eat the same piece of Devil Fruit at the same time, only the first person can obtain the power of Devil Fruit. No matter how simultaneously, there will always be a chronological order on the time scale, even if it is a fraction of a second. If the Soul-Soul Fruit is broken, he will have to collect all the pieces, otherwise in case the World Government finds a piece and let someone eat it, it will be extremely troublesome. No hesitation. Although it was difficult to get into the cave that was three feet wide, Ross did not plan to continue to destroy it. He just raised his hand and pulled the space apart, stepping into it. When the inside and outside are completely sealed, Ross cant enter, but as long as there is a small hole, he can instantly expand the space of the hole, and then step in. He has to say. This core warehouse is still very solid. The design of the unloading layer and the stress layer is almost perfect. Even if Ross smashes like this, it will only smash a hole in the end instead of blowing up the whole structure. The space in the core warehouse is not very large. There are a number of quaint wooden cabinets and wooden boxes. Several wooden boxes were smashed by stones and their content were already visible. Some are Devil Fruit, others are sword blades, which seem to be swords from the 12 Supreme Grade Sword(Saijo O Wazamono), and others are also Raindrop shaped sapphires with half a palm-size. All of these are rare treasures. However, Ross only glanced at them and ignored all of them. His only purpose now is the Soul-Soul Fruit, he will first find the Soul-Soul Fruit first and then he will look at other things. Just after Ross entered the core warehouse. The severe earthquake stopped, but Tenryubito still suffered heavy casualties due to panic. Some people had so much bad luck that they even died from an artificial earthquake. Among the powers at the top of the Pangaea Castle is the Commander-in-Chief Steel Bone Kong, who is here, along with Gorosei (Five Elder Stars), ordering government officials to find out what happened. Report report to Commander-in-Chief, Lord Gorsei (Five Elder Stars). At this time, a World Government official ran in and said tremblingly: The source of the shock is Underground is from the core warehouse! The technology inside the World Government is unquestionable. Almost all kinds of monitoring devices and Den Den Mushi exist here. In such a situation that alarmed Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and Commander-in-Chief Steel Bone Kong, all government officials jumped and it took almost no time to find out the source of the problem. What?! Hearing the mans report, Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and Steel Bone Kong were stunned at the same time. What happened at the core warehouse? The outer wall was damaged. It was Ghost Hand Ross! Various types of Den Den Mushi are monitored in the core warehouse. In addition to the simplest image Den Den Mushi, there are also voice Den Den Mushi, a high-level radar instrument and life scanning instruments. After all, it is one of the most important places in the entire World Government so its security is high. Ghost hand? This piece of information stunned the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and their faces finally changed. Not only was the wall of the core warehouse destroyed, but someone, and that someone is Ghost Hand Ross. Thats not good! If the contents inside are taken away by Ross, let alone other Yonk (Four Emperors), even Marine Headquarters wont be able to contain the Ghost Hand Pirates! What about CP0? Send all the nearest ones over there! A Gorsei got out of his shock and shouted immediately. Ill go too. Commander-in-Chief Steel Bone Kongs complexion changed, he was very clear about the seriousness of this situation and immediately rushed out of the room and went straight to the core warehouse of the Underground base. With CP0 and Steel Bone Kong going, Gorsei (Five Elder Stars)s expression eased a bit. After the tension and urgency subsided, it was replaced by anger. How dare that lunatic come here! This is Holy Land Mariejois. The core warehouse is located directly below Pangaea Castle and it is the most guarded place! Many years ago, although the Fisher Tiger did create chaos up here but it was only in the outermost part of Mariejois, in the Underground Prison, where the slaves were imprisoned. A fire was set and he rescued some people before fleeing. Ross has invaded the center of Holy Land Mariejois, directly invading the Pangaea Castle and he even went to the core warehouse! Madman! A Gorsei spoke while suppressing his anger. At this time, another government official rushed in and reported to Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) about the damage at the Dragon gate. Several buildings collapsed due to severe shocks. The Tenryubito trampled on each other due to panic, seriously injuring four Tenryubito, 13 were slightly injured and two died. The Tenryubitos are now in extreme panic, demanding the deployment of Marine Admirals and all CP0 members to protect them. The government official reported tremblingly. The Gorsei listened to the report. Almost all of them were furious. Ross invaded the core warehouse here. Two Tenryubito died and four were seriously injured while the other Tenryubito asked all CP0 members to protect them. Waste! They could not help but think of the trouble that Fisher Tiger caused. That is because the fire was set off, and the Terryubitos who were frightened asked CP0 members to protect all of them personally. As a result, CP0 members did not go to deal with Fisher Tiger and by the time Marines arrived, it was too late, and everyone had already ran off. Pangaea Castle. Located in a special area, in a very strange room. Not many people are qualified to enter this room, and even the vast majority of government officials are unaware of the existence of this place, which belongs to the restricted area of ??the restricted area. Here it is, between flowers. In the middle between the flowers, a dark shadow was standing there, watching the surrounding rooms damaged by the quake, and there was a moment of silence. It looks like something happened, Lord Im. A figure emerged from the darkness. Im was still silent. The shadow asked, Do I need to go? Im: Holy Land Mariejois. Underground, the core warehouse. In the midst of the chaos, Ross finally pulled up a strange Devil Fruit with patterns that look like floating souls. Found it. During this time Ross had long remembered the pattern of Soul-Soul Fruit, and the moment he pulled it out of the wooden box, he recognized it. He decisively put the Soul-Soul Fruit in his pocket. He glanced at the Devil Fruits scattered all over the place. Although he didnt know about them, the worst of them was an Ancient Zoan. The precious ones are probably Logia and the Fantasy Beast like the Pheonix! Ive already got the Soul-Soul Fruit. I dont need to be too greedy. Lets pack the rest and take them away. Ross took off his cloak and the Void shuddered. Sii. All of Devil Fruits mess was collected by him, including 2 of the 12 Supreme Grade Sword(Saijo O Wazamono), and five or six pieces of sea treasures that even the Fishman Island did not have. He tore off a ribbon skillfully and tied the cloaks mouth, Ross carried the makeshift bag on his shoulders and walked towards the hole he had smashed before. He reached out and tear open space. Ross stepped forward to the outside of the hole. Then Ross saw, on the left side of the hole, a group of CP0 members stood there, the first of whom was wearing glasses and had a cold and depressing face, while on the right in front of the hole, a strong man with a Mohican head came forward. Each step he took, shock the place. He is the Previous Marine Fleet Admiral and also the current World Government Commander In Chief and his rank is above Sengoku. He is Commander-in-Chief Steel Bone Kong. CHAPTER 354 STRENGTH! AIR! Put down those things, Ghost Hand. Steel Bone Kong coldly looked at Ross. Although he didnt know what Ross had taken, everything in the core warehouse was extremely valuable and it was impossible for them to let Ross take any of it away. Ross was carrying a cloth bag, like a long-distance traveler, and he took a casual look at Steel Bone Kong, saying: Oh, its the previous Fleet Admiral. As the previous Marine Fleet Admiral and the current Commander-In-Chief, Steel Bone Kongs strength when he was young is beyond doubt and he is also a terrifying presence that shocked the sea. Before the Great Age of Pirates, the only one who had defeated him was the only old bat Patrick Redfield who had eaten a Zoan Devil Fruit Model Vampire, and no one else had beaten him. And the strength of Patrick Redfield better known as Red the Aloof does not need to be said, he did not have any crew members and he alone was strong enough to contend against Roge Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates and have similar strength to their Captain Whitebeard and Gold Roger! Naturally. These are the things of the last era. To tell me to leave these things here do you still have the ability to say that? Ross casually opened his mouth and replied while his eyes swept across the several CP0 members. As his voice fell, he took a step forward and his figure rushed out in the direction where there was no one. If it werent for Holy Land Mariejois and if he wasnt carrying a parcel on his back, he wouldnt have minded playing around with Steel Bone Kong. Now, he doesnt have any interest in fighting right now. Whiz! Almost instantly, Ross appeared hundreds of meters away. But just as Ross was about to continue to walk away, a figure rushes through with terrifying explosive power, with pure physical speed, and smashes Ross in the back with a violent punch. Before the fist fell, the shock of compressed air roared in. Ross turned around and punched back. Fighting fists, he was not afraid of anyone. Bang! The fist wrapped in the power of distortion and the dark Armament Haki fist of Steel Bone Kong slammed against each other. It was as if a bomb has gone off in the area as the sound made after two fists collided against each other finally explodes. The aftermath swings away. Ross remained motionless while Steel Bone Kongs arm trembled and he was forced to take a step back. Even the Commander-In-Chief Steel Bone Kong, who had terrified countless pirates and defeated many strong pirates was inferior to Ross! There is no doubt. For example, Ross, who is less than thirty years old, and is at the peak of his power, he is almost invincible in one-on-one combat! His single punch was enough to force Steel Bone Kong back but Ross fist was slightly tingling, because Steel Bone Kongs Armament Haki was stronger than his, but because of his bodys strong resilience, it was basically nothing and the effects will be gone momentarily. Strenght Fruit? Or is it something else? Why did this man even retire when he had this much strength. Pulling back his fist, Ross glanced at Steel Bone Kong. The power of that punch just now was not normal and it is a bit too prominent in terms of Strength. Its almost the same as Whitebeards full-strength attack. It is estimated that even Garps fist will be slightly inferior to it. Its a little strange to have such a fist power just because of the amount of physical powers. There are Devil Fruits that can only increase speed, but there are also Devil Fruits that can increase speed, strength and physical abilities at the same time. Then there must be a Devil Fruit that can enhance strength alone. Increase your strength to the limit. This is the ability of Steel Bone Kong. The name of Steel Bone must be because he has Steel-like bones that can withstand the explosion of such terrifying strength. Steel Bone Kong didnt speak, but he was astonished seeing Rosss strength. Although he is old and weaker than when he was young, his strength has not actually dropped much because of his physical fitness. Even if Ross won against Whitebeard, he doesnt have any fear, because when he was Marine Admiral, Whitebeard didnt have the strongest title in the world. But. The reality is that Ross in front, even if he hits him with all his strength, he can stop it, and make him fall back! Sure enough, you have grown to an extent that was impossible to estimate. Steel Bone Kong sighed in his heart. He knew things about Ross relatively late, but he was also one of the insiders. He only felt one thing about this matter and that was a pain in the ass. Whiz! After Steel Bone Kong was forced to retreat, Ross lifted his foot and flew into the air using Gepp (Moonwalk). His right fingers gathered to make a fist. But at this moment, a strange power suddenly came towards Ross who e=was using Gepp (Moonwalk) and he stumbled. Ohh? Ross blinked. Even if the air was thin at a height of 12,000 kilometers, and he added the strongest gravity to himself, it was impossible for Gepp (Moonwalk) to fail. And the weird power that enveloped him was also strange as it had taken all the air out of him in a moment, not only making him unable to breathe, but also tearing at his body to get all the air out of his lungs. Absolutely Vacuum! CP0s new Chief appeared under Ross, his eyes stared at the sky indifferently and then he punched towards Ross. Air cannon! Bang! A terrifying air column burst out violently, directly covering Rosss whole body, engulfing him in its power. The air hit the ceiling, and crack-like marks appeared on the extremely thick rock wall above! Bang! Bang! Bang! CP0s new Chief didnt pause at all. After releasing an air cannon, he flickered in several directions and punched out successively, hitting out several terrifying air columns in succession, enveloping Ross in the center. This power finally condensed and exploded, blasting the ground up and down, exposing the blue sky outside! However. When the compressed air erupted and the aftermath completely dissipated, Ross body appeared in the sky. He remained floating there and there wasnt even a scratch mark on his body! Space Barrier He pressed the Void in front of him with one hand and the empty space showed the shape of distortion. Even if the air is compressed even more powerfully and no matter how strong the impact is, it cannot break the space. this is the limit of the ability of the fruit. Ohh? Rosss eyes narrowed a he looked at the CP0 Chief and murmured: Logias Air-Air Fruit The World Government sure has many good things. Logia Air Fruit! There is no doubt that this is also a top-level Devil Fruit. The Vacuum Field attack alone is tantamount to a big killer. Anyone with insufficient physical strength will be killed by it. Not to mention the air cannon that compressed the air just now, I am afraid that it is more powerful than the bear paw attack of the Shichibukai Kuma, after all, this is the ability to dominate the air! CHAPTER 355 ATTRACTION! For the World Government. They just need to find a CP0 Captain or Vice Chief who can pass their tests in all aspects, and then give that person give the other party such an Air Logia Devil Fruit, and they would immediately create an existence comparable to a Marine Admiral, which is the foundation of World Governments strength. But now, much of it is on his shoulders. Whiz! Ross had no intention of fighting them right now and after blocking CP0s new Chiefs air cannon, he directly flew towards the sky. Although the air was still in a vacuum, making him unable to use Gepp (Moonwalk), he could still fly by using Gravity Distortion. Without air resistance, the flight could accelerate even more. Dont you dare run away! Steel Bone Kong roared and stomped towards Ross. With the strength of his foot, he stepped on the ground and directly caused spider-like cracks on the ground. It was also this explosive power that made him fly out towards the air in an instant. His figure seemed to have exceeded the speed of sound and he caught up with Ross in the sky and attacked him. Get out of the way! Ross had a bag in one hand and he could only use one hand. At this moment, he roared and turned his elbow towards Steel Bone Kongs fist. Armament Haki was attached to his elbow and Haoshoku Haki was emitted from his body. Bang! Steel Bone Kongs body shook. Because he was in the air, he could not step on the ground to release this force and he couldnt help fly sideways. You bastard, damn it. CP0 Chief yelled and was forced to put away the vacuum field, otherwise Steel Bone Kong would suffer, Ross could use Gravity Distortion and could fly, but their side couldnt use Geppo in the empty air and they were in a bad situation. Withdrawing from the vacuum realm, Steel Bone Kong immediately used Gepp (Moonwalk) and displayed the top-level Gepp (Moonwalk) and his figure left residual image as he chased after Ross. Whiz! Whiz! Ross doesnt care about Steel Bone Kong following him and continues to run away. He has the ability of Distortion space and he can appear a few kilometers away in an instant. Although not as perverted as using Teleportation, not many people can catch up with him at close range. Although Distortion space shortens the distance on the spatial scale, it takes time to launch, but it is faster than Steel Bone Kongs Geppo which is the strongest he has ever seen! Whiz! Whiz! Within a few steps, Ross had already left Steel Bone Kong behind. But just as Ross was about to shorten a longer space, and reached a few kilometers away in one step, a strange force suddenly enveloped him. Black Jail! This power seemed to be some kind of strong attraction, which instantly caught Ross figure and he was to be dragged back to the ground. Ross frowned slightly and his body shook, he forcibly got rid of this ability upon himself but he could not bear the burden he was carrying and they were pulled down by this power. The contents were sparsely scattered and flew down. Oh! Rosss eyes become red at this time. With a roar of rage, Ross directly used Distortion space, grabbing everything in his hands and pushing down hard. Space Collapse! Buzz!! Under Rosss push, the empty space with a radius of nearly a kilometer directly below him collapsed in a flash and pops down. Today, Rosss control of Space Distortion ability has been improved a lot compared to when he used it against Whitebeard. This is a new trick that he could not perform before, it is pure space oppression! Its like forming a wall of space. Unless its a top-level Haki or a Devil Fruit belonging to the space department, the people who faced this attack will either stay out of the way or be crushed into pieces by the collapsing space barrier! Tekkai (Iron Body)! Steel Bone Kong was the first to endure the oppression of space. He immediately folded his arms in front of him and exhibited Armament Haki to resist the coming attack. His Armament Haki is top-notch, stronger than the current Ross. Naturally, he can withstand the collapsed space or the power of distortion that caused the collapse of the space. But. He could block it, but he couldnt block it in the air while using Gepp (Moonwalk)! Before Rosss space collapsed on him, he was forced back to the ground from the sky and stood on the ground to resist. Air Wall! CP0s new Chiefs face changed, and he raised his hands up to create an air wall visible to the naked eye to block the collapsing space. But space and air can be seen at a glance. How can the air wall stop a Space Wall? Boom! When the two touched, the air wall almost collapsed at one touch, and it couldnt resist in the slightest. Rosss space wall directly crushed the air wall and continued to press downward. And at the same time. The third person who exhibited the strange power and shattered Rosss baggage also showed his body. He wore the same black cloak as Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), and his face was unemotional. Facing the collapsing space wall, he pushed forward with both hands. Black Prison! A strange force came and twisted before him into a black swirl, and even space was distorted before it! When the wall finally disappeared, he grasped it in his right hand, and the dark whirlpool suddenly compressed into a small black ball that flew skyward. What? With a slight frown, Ross was about to move away when the small black ball suddenly created a terrible gravitational pull, gripping his body and drawing him toward it. At the same time, the ground on the Red Line began to crumble inch by inch, and mountains of rock rose up, flying toward the black ball as if they had been attracted to it. I see Ross, who saw this scene finally realized something. There is nothing wrong. This is the Attraction Devil Fruit! It can be said that the Zushi Zushi no Mi(Fujitoras fruit), Fuwa Fuwa no Mi(Golden Lion Shikis fruit) are the real upper-level Devil Fruits related to gravity. But for gravity, Attraction is similar to being a Father to it because without attraction there will be no gravity at all and all the gravity-based Devil Fruit and Attraction fruit have an intercrossing relationship. Ross doesnt know the abilities of this Attraction Fruit, nor does he know this person, he is not one of the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), he is apparently a hidden character in Holy Land. So far, only three people have appeared. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) didnt appear, Im will not come here. Two of the top powers of the World government are not here but they still possess such power. Distortion! Ross swings his hand to counteract gravity. Both of these forces are invisible forces of nothingness and they are in a fierce conflict and confrontation in the Void. But. This gravity is a large-scale attack. Even CP0 Chief and Steel Bone Kong have been affected, and it is difficult for them to attack Ross for a while. Black Jail! The Attraction Fruit user raised his hands with a dull expression on his face, grabbing at the pile of Devil Fruits and Saij Wazamono swords, and gems scattered in the air. Rosss face changed, his right hand was severely pulled, and the power of distortion violently spread out. Bang! Two forces collided in Void. The Devil Fruits shattered into seven or eight pieces in a split second, leaving Ross bleeding. The two scabbards of Saij Wazamono swords also instantly deformed and shattered. As for the few gems, their texture was firm, just like Seastone. Although the chain attached to it was broken, the gem itself was intact. However. Compared to Ross, Steel Bone Kongs was injured in his heart and he almost sprouted out blood. The CP0 Chief knew about the preciousness of these things, his face is constantly twitching, the Air Fruit he ate was just one the fruits that got destroyed here! If Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) knew that the Devil Fruits in the core warehouse had been destroyed in seven or eight pieces, Im afraid all of them would growl and the sound of their roar would probably knock down the Pangaea Castle CHAPTER 356 HARVES Ross was angry and the power of distortion broke out desperately. Bang! The black gravitational ball was blasted hard by a Distortion Fist and the numerous lifted rocks and mountains fell towards the ground. At the same time, Rosss right hand jerked and the force of gravity was ripped apart, holding on to parts of each other and separating the top from the bottom. Naturally. Because Ross occupies the initiative, the direction of his tearing is in the direction of the Devil Fruits, and the Saij Wazamono swords and gems can only be left with the World Government. After the World Government is destroyed, these things would naturally become his. There are four Devil Fruits in total. Counting the Soul-Soul Fruit, there are a total of five. If each one is at the level of Air Fruit and Attraction Fruit, then this is undoubtedly the most vicious way to cut the fattest piece of meat on the body of the World Government! Whiz! Wrapping the four Devil Fruits in a robe, Ross didnt speak and flew towards the sky. Steel Bone Kong roared and set off after him using Gepp (Moonwalk). However, Rosss power of distortion was excited and after a few steps, he became a black spot in sight, and soon Steel Bone Kong was left far behind. Damn it Standing in the sky, watching Rosss figure disappearing, Steel Bone Kong clenched his fist, there has never been a moment where he was so angry! At the same time, he couldnt help but think that when this matter was known by Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and what kind of consequences would follow and he began to feel a pain developing in his head. We cant catch up. CP0s new Chiefs mouth twitched. He knows how terribly powerful the previous Chief was and now there were three of them here and nothing needs to be said about their strength. Their combined strength is definitely the top in the sea, but they still couldnt stop Ross! The last Attraction Fruit ability user was also suspended in the sky. Out of the three people except for Kong who used Gepp (Moonwalk), the other two had the ability to fly. He looked up in the direction where Ross was disappearing, and then glanced back. Black Prison, why are you here? Steel Bone Kong looked at the unknown persons face and couldnt help but groan. Black Prison is the same as Steel Bone or Iron Fist, both of which are titles used by people to call them. It is similar to Aokiji Akainu Kizaru who also has nicknames that are not linked to their real name. This person was an Admiral, who was with him for an era. When he was promoted to Marine Fleet Admiral, the other chose to retire and then disappeared. He did not expect him to appear in Holy Land today. Go ask Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) if you want to know. Black Prison responded with a stern expression and flew towards the Red Line below. Royal court guard. This is his current identity, he is directly under Im and he is his guard, he is above CP0, and only known to the Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) but they cant command him. Steel Bone Kong knows that there are many hidden things inside the World Government. With his current status, few things can be concealed from him. But. Because he is not a Tenryubito and has no aristocratic identity, he still cannot reach or cannot touch some of the most core things. Just like a country, the general was promoted to the Admiral Army and promoted to Fleet Admiral, but it was impossible for him to be promoted to the Emperor. The overall Commander-In-Chief position is the highest he would reach. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) Steel Bone Kong shook his head. He knows some things, but he doesnt want to consider it so much. His position is in the World Government, standing on the governments side, protecting the world, and nothing more. After learning of the loss, Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) was naturally furious. For a moment, five people almost lost their minds and ordered Marines to attack the Ghost Hand Pirates but they finally resisted. At this time, if Marines are dispatched to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates. There is no doubt that they will be destroyed. It was not enough to just to go with one or two Marine Admirals and bring Momousagi and Tokikake, They have to bring their entire force with them. If they do this, the risks involved are too great. Just in case. If other Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates knew about their plan then it will lead to various unfavorable situations like one of the Yonkos can attack the Marine Headquarters or the Holy Land, which would lead to an uncontrollable situation. And the biggest problem is that Rosss presence presents too much trouble. His personal combat power is the strongest in the world! Steel Bone Kong has personally verified Rosss power. If he was at his peak power, he can fight Ross, but now he is a bit worse than Ross because of his age. And Ross also has the best escape ability in the world! He retreated calmly under the four Admiral combat powers and this time, In front of the three major combat powers of Steel Bone Kong, CP0 Chief, and Black Prison, he was able to grab a few Devil Fruits before leaving. With this ability, it is possible for him to visit the Marine Headquarters again one day if he escaped. At the same time, his survival ability is also the strongest. He is like the combination of Kaido and Whitebeard, he is a very tricky and powerful character to deal with. What about the warehouse. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) asked the other officials after converging. The official in charge of the core warehouse had cold sweat running on his forehead as he said with some fear: Fourteen Devil Fruits are missing, Six Ancient species, three Paramecia, two fantasy beast species, two Logia Listening to the report, a Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) had blue veins overflowing his forehead. There are many ordinary Devil Fruits, and even tenryubito sometimes buys them for their entertainment and let their slaves eat them. But ancient species, Logia, and fantasy beasts, each of them are rare and precious items and the World Government has collected them after many years of hard work! Especially Logia and the fantasy beast species, it is easy to create a CP0 Chief-level fighter with those fruits. Fortunately, they have heard a rough report from Steel Bone Kong before, and they knew that Ross had packaged the Devil Fruits of the core warehouse and ran out with them so they did not lose their cool this time. Fortunately. Under the carpet search, some of the broken Devil Fruits pieces were still found, naturally, these pieces were only a part of it. This can be considered as making up for some losses. After all, as long as no one eats the other parts of the fragments, then these fragments are also effective. Half a day later. Sky Island Birka. Inside the palace, a few Devil Fruits were placed silently on a table. Robin was holding one in her hand and observing it. After looking at it, she put it back. Ross put on a loose bathrobe and walked out. How about it? Two ancient Zoan species, one fantasy beast, one Logia, and one Paramecia, Robin said to Ross. Ross picked up the Soul-Soul Fruit and asked, This is Soul-Soul Fruit, right? Robin confirmed: Yes. Thats good. Ross nodded, the other Devil Fruits are also important, but for him, they are not as important as the Soul-Soul Fruit. Putting the Soul-Soul Fruit in his pocket, Ross looked at the other four Devil Fruit and asked, What is the Logias ability? The Ancient Species Devil Fruits are also very strong, but they are nothing compared to Logia Devil Fruits and the Fantasy Beast Species Devil Fruits. It the Hurricane Logia Fruit. Robin didnt expect Ross to get four precious Devil Fruits besides the Soul-Soul Fruit, especially a Logia and a Fantasy Beast Type. Hurricane Fruit! It is also one of the top Devil Fruits, which can easily create storms. Hurricane Ross thought of the broken Devil Fruit, and could not help but have a headache. After rubbing his eyebrows, he continued to ask, What about the Fantasy Beast type? Zoan, Fox fruit, Fantasy Beast Medel: Nine-Tailed Fox. Robin picked up the Nine-Tailed Fox fruit with nine tail-like patterns on the fruit. Puff. Ross almost spit out the water he was drinking and said, Nine-tailed fox? Is there really anything like that in the world? Robin looked strangely at Ross, saying, The Fantasy Beast Species is originally a fantasy species, regardless of its existence or myth. Ohh. The corner of Rosss mouth twitched slightly. Mainly this Fantasy Beast Species reminded him of the Nine Tail Fox from the Naruto world. Even the Golden Buddha, the Pheonix, and the Vampire Fruit and the Nine Tail Fox fruit was nothing strange. CHAPTER 357 DEVIL FRUIT EXPERIMEN What are you going to do with these Devil Fruits? Robin asked Ross. There are Two Ancient Species Devil Fruits which can at least create a strong Combat Force that is comparable to a Captain and maybe even better. As for the Hurricane and the Nine Tail Fox, they would be able to create a combat power similar to the Three Disasters. Leave the Hurricane and the Nine Tail Fox Devil Fruit for the time being. The two Ancient Species Devil Fruit can be used as rewards to those who have high credit. Give priority to the giants. Ross thought slightly before replying. When the Giants eat Zoans Devil Fruit, they will get Zoans bonus on the basis of their already strong physique, which is more advantageous than ordinary humans. As for the Hurricane and the Nine Tail Fox, Ross does not plan to release them for the time being, especially the Hurricane Fruit. He has some plans for it in his mind. Like BIOMOMs Prometheus and Zeus, their powers were unquestionable. In the event of a full-scale outbreak, even if they are not as good as a Marine Admiral, at least they have attack power similar to that of the Three Disaster. And. Fire Cloud and Thunder cloud are purely soul incarnation made by Soul-Soul Fruit, which is a combination of Ordinary fire and thunder cloud. If Ross uses Logias Hurricane fruit to make a storm incarnation that belongs to him, then I am afraid that the strength of this incarnation alone would be comparable to a Marine Admiral! In this case, it is naturally unnecessary to feed this fruit to giants. Naturally. It is estimated that this kind of incarnation can not be produced indefinitely, after all, BIGMOM only had two, maybe two or three is Rosss upper limit. Understood. Robin nodded and gathered the Nine Tail Fox and the Hurricane Devil Fruit. Ross watched as Robin lock the two Devil Fruits into the safe inside the office, he pondered for a moment and then asked, Robin, help me investigate someone. Who? Robin closed the safe and asked Ross. Ross described the appearance of the Attraction Fruit ability user he encountered in Holy Land and asked Robin to paint a picture with a 77% similarity and then nodded. He almost looks like this. Ok. Robin put down her pen and looked at the picture and nodded slightly, she left the office with the picture and went to the intelligence department and told her subordinates to investigate the origin of this person. After handing over the Hurricane and the Nine Til Devil Fruits to Robin and asking her to investigate the Attraction ability user, Ross left the Sky Island Birka and landed on the Cake Island. Lord Ross. Today, the Cake island has completed its base, which is heavily patrolled and has seamless surveillance of Den Den Mushi. When Ross arrived, the guard on patrol saluted him respectfully. The interior of the base is no longer as empty as it once was and it is divided into three areas, the first of which is the medical area. This area is managed solely by Trafalgar Law and he is responsible for the rehabilitation of some of the seriously injured, as well as psycho-surgical rehabilitation, captivity tests and the like. The second area is Caesars lab. Although Caesar is in charge, Trafalgar Law has the control and surveillance of the lab, and the assistants around Caesar are also responsible for monitoring Caesars every move. Although Caesars heart is divided and kept separate, no one knows if he will perform any small movements. Such surveillance is also reasonable. As for the last area The construction of this area is the latest but this area occupies the largest plot of land. It is the clone manufacturing base, which is fully managed by Vinsmoke Reiju. After walking forward for a while, Ross met Reiju coming out of the base. Lord Ross, why are you here? Reiju saw Ross and greeted him with a smile. I need to talk with Caesar. Ross responded, he paused a little and said, Whats going on with the cloning of the army, how many people have you expanded? Reiju said: Because of sufficient resources, it has expanded to more than 200 people. Thats good. Ross smiled, he stretched his fingers and caressed Reijus cheek and said. Keep working. Facing Rosss frivolous behavior, Reiju didnt feel any discomfort. Instead, she groaned, and her pink tongue licked the corner of her mouth. Alas. Ross raised Reijus audacity by another level, but now there is a serious matter and he had to find Caesar, and he has no time to hang out with her. Going towards Caesars experimental area, he opened the door of the laboratory and directly walked in. Who! Without knocking Caesar heard the door pushed open, and he was looking angrily to the rear while holding a few test tubes, but when his eyes saw Ross, the annoyance on his face suddenly turned into a pleasing expression. Ah, its Lord Ross, youre here. During this time, Caesar was responsible for cooperating with Law for physical transformation. It is also not inappropriate to say that the transformation is because his current work is complicated. On the one hand, he had co-operated with Reiju to try to further increase the amount of strength and power of those cloned soldiers. On the other hand, he cooperates with Law to study the physical aspect. Devil Fruit, the object you were asked to prepare, are you ready? Ross enters and didnt even look at Caesar and asks pointedly. Caesar breathes a sigh of relief and says, That is already ready. Ross pulled out the Cursed Blade Murasame hanging from his waist and with a loose finger, the Cursed Blade Murasame was directly nailed to the ground, while he took out the Soul-Soul Fruit with his other hand. After taking out the Soul-Soul Fruit and the Cursed Blade Murasame, Ross stared at Caesar and said, A Paramecia Devil Fruit merging into an object, are you sure it is feasible? A Zoan Devil Fruit can be fused into objects, this Ross knows, but he has not seen a Paramecia Devil Fruit getting integrated into the object, Caesar told him that it is indeed possible but Ross still holds some reservation. This is indeed feasible. Caesar also knows that the current thing is important to Ross and said solemnly: I have been deeply involved in the study of Devil Fruit before, Zoan Devil Fruit fusion on an object is an experiment I participated in all the way and Paramecia Devil Fruit fusion As Caesar said, he pointed to a water glass not far away, and said, I did an experiment with Paramecias fruit not long ago, and the experiment was successful. If youre worried, we can do a second test. Ross turned to look at the distant water glass, and said with a little surprise: You did experiments with Paramecias fruit? Where did Paramecia Devil Fruit come from? Oh, it was sent some time ago. Your men must have collected it.. Caesar says, tilting his head. After a little surprise, Ross returned to peace. He is now a Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirate, with power all over the sea. It is very common for his subordinates to find Devil Fruits. The ordinary Paramecia Devil Fruit, which is not very valuable, is nothing and can be used in an experiment like this. Like the Spring Fruit, Ross doesnt think it has many effects. Going towards the water glass. Ross took it off the test bench, and when he touched the cup, he noticed a slight difference in the cup. Although it is different from Zoans fusion object, it becomes a life-specific animal, but it also seems to have self-life. Ross can reach its consciousness. With a thought. Ross controlled the water glass, using the ability of the Devil Fruit fused with the water glass, and then he saw that the water glass turned into a spring, and suddenly fell apart, bouncing in his hands. Spring Fruit? The corner of Rosss mouth twitched slightly. He was just thinking about it. The result was really a spring fruit. It seemed that Bellamy had no chance to play at all. Its true after Doflamingo got finished. Chapter 358 Soul Cutting Blade The Spring-Spring Fruit is indeed not a valuable Devil Fruit. Ross did not feel distressed by the fact that Caesar used it for experiments. Now that the fusion between Spring-Spring Fruit and a cup is successful, the fusion of Soul-Soul Fruit and the Cursed Blade (Yt) Murasame should not fail. Now that you have a successful example, you can start. Ross said to Caesar. Caesar took the Soul-Soul Fruit from Ross. When he was about to get the Cursed Blade Murasame, he suddenly thought of something, and said, Lord Ross, when a Paramecia Devil Fruit and an object is being fused. The process is a bit long and it may last for half a month to a month. Thats fine.Ross slightly nodded and said, Then Ill wait half a month. Compared to the integration of Soul-Soul Fruit into the Cursed Blade Murasame, half a month is nothing. Seeing that Ross nodded, Caesars anxiety disappeared and he turned to take the Cursed Blade Murasame. But. Almost as soon as his hand touched the handle of the Cursed Blade Murasame, a violent Will suddenly erupted from the Cursed Blade Murasame, attacking him as a whole. Kill! Crazy! Blood! Dark! With all kinds of terrifying Will attacking him, Caesar let out a strange cry and immediately released the handle of the blade. The whole person turned into a mass of gas and rolled several circles towards the distance. Then he looked at the Cursed Blade (Yt) inserted in the ground. This is Lord Ross, your Cursed Blade Murasame. Caesar looked at the Cursed Blade Murasame with a change of complexion and spoke with fear in his heart. He also has Rosss date here. Rosss sword is one of the 12 Saij Wazamono great grade sword, The Cursed Blade Murasame, which is now known to everyone in the sea. Cursed Blade Murasame has a terrifying legend and its masters in every generation have gone mad and crazy at the end of their life, but to many people, Ross is already crazy to the point of madness and no matter how the blade influence him, he wont go crazier. He and the Cursed Blade Murasame are a natural pair. I forgot that this Blade was not very obedient. Ross saw Caesars look and frowned. If Caesar cant control the Cursed Blade Murasame, it will be a bit of trouble to transform it. Its all right. However, Caesar began to calm down and said: Its just a weapon, Im a genius scientist Although the Cursed Blade Murasame is terrible, Caesar is not something to mess with either. In the test base, he has seen many Demons, Ghosts, or Biochemical Person, why would he be afraid of a blade? After getting permission from Ross, he quickly restrained the Cursed Blade Murasame by some means and sent it to the top of a test stand, putting the Cursed Blade Murasame into a glass vessel. Subsequently. Caesar took the Soul-Soul Fruit to the other side of the experimental equipment and tossed the Soul-Soul Fruit into a glass, exuding a strange liquid. He pouring the liquid into glassware. Zizi! The liquid touched the Cursed Blade Murasame and immediately made a noisy sound. If someone looks at it with a magnifying glass, they will see that the liquid is penetrating into the Cursed Blade Murasame at a slow rate and settling inside the sword edge. After Caesar finished, he immediately pulled over a special magnifying glass and stared at the Cursed Blade Murasame inside the glassware. After a while. He raised his head, showing a frowning expression. What happened? Ross, who hadnt left, came over while looking at the glassware and asked him. Caesar said a bit awkwardly: The material of this blade is a bit special No, it should be said that the self-Will on this Cursed Blade (Yt) is too strong and it is resisting the fusion of Devil Fruit a bit. What will happen then? Ross asked invariably. Caesar rubbed his hands and said, The Fusion will definitely not fail, but it may take more than half a month to a month, it may take more than a month. Ross asked: Whats the longest time? Caesar continued to observe the blade for a while with the magnifying instrument, thinking slightly: It should be no more than three months at the latest. Thats good. Hearing that the process would take no more than three months, although Ross frowned slightly, he relaxed quickly. Three months was nothing to him, and Totto Land needed to stabilize again. He had just attacked the World Government, it is inevitable that the World Government will try to find some trouble with him. Then I leave it to you. Yes. Caesar responded. It wasnt until Ross was gone that he was relieved. It was okay to face the others. But the pressure Ross as a Yonk (Four Emperors) excluded was something terrifying to him. Two and a half months passed. During these two and a half months, the World Government carried out multiple retaliatory actions. First, they hit some Underground forces associated with Totto Land, then smashed a site in West Blue that belonged to the Ghost Hand Pirates and it also began to clear the Ghost Hand Pirates force from West Blue. Ross didnt care. His actions at Holy Land Mariejois has been exposed, and the whole world knows that Holy Land was almost overturned by him. In this case, the World Governments shameful revenge operation looks like a cheap shot Naturally, this is the only thing that they can so. It is obviously impossible for the World Government to attack Totto Land. As long as the World Government is not coming to the Totto Landsea, Ross is too lazy to pay attention to it. The World Governments loss is too big this time. It is normal for Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) to go a little crazy. With the passage of two and a half months, Caesars mission of combining the Cursed Blade Murasame and the Soul-Soul Fruit was finally completed, and he was relieved and immediately reported to Ross. Ross didnt hesitate, and arrived at the base a moment later. Now. The Cursed Blade Murasame is quietly lying in the previous glass vessel, and the special liquid in the glass vessel has completely disappeared at this time and is completely absorbed by the Cursed Blade Murasame. The Cursed Blade Murasames blade has a little strange change, with a hint of unreal black shadows and a dusky sheen. The sword itself can reflect light and naturally has its special luster, but the Cursed Blade Murasame at this time looks different. The light and shadow it emits is not reflected by light, but originated from itself! It is glowing by itself! Be careful, this Cursed Blade (Yt) is fused with Soul-Soul Fruit, and I dont know what the Will inside of it looks like now. Caesar stood at the side and reminded softly. He has a deep understanding of the Violent Will contained in Cursed Blade Murasame. After integrating the blade with the Soul-Soul Fruit, he is even more afraid to touch it. No one knows how terrible the Will in this Cursed Blade (Yt) will be after its fusion with the Soul-Soul Fruit. It is no longer appropriate to say that its a Cursed Blade (Yt). Now it should be called Soul Cutting Blade. I know. Ross nodded calmly, still looking at the handle of Cursed Blade Murasame. As a dignified Yonk (Four Emperors) and as the strongest person in the sea today, how could he be afraid of a blade? Even if the Will of the blade is strong, it is just a sword that will be held in his hands. CHAPTER 359 FUSION Buzz !! !! As Ross hand touched the handle of the blade and he held it in his hand, a strange ghostly, illusory sheen suddenly erupted from the sword edge. This illusory luster does not have any substantial attack power, but it has caused the instability of Ross power, causing the power of distortion to swing away from Ross body. The empty space around Rosss body rippled instantly. Splashy! The glassware broke almost instantly, breaking into countless pieces of glass and flying in all directions. Standing nearby, Caesar, too, is distorted by the power of distortion. He loses his head and burst apart. Fortunately, he is a Logia user, and Armament Haki did not escape from Rosss body. This knockdown did not hurt him. But. Caesar was scared to death. The Cursed Blade Murasame has now become a real terrifying Cursed Blade (Yt) from the history. If Ross is affected by it and goes crazy, I am afraid that the entire cake island will be finished! Its not just the cake island, the Ghost Hand Pirates will probably be going to end as Fujitora and the rest of them together may not be able to stop the crazy Ross! Stay Hold on. Caesar crouched in the corner of the laboratory with a look of fear on his face. Kach! Kch! !! The Power of distortion stirred up, causing the ground to crack under Ross feet. Although the structure of this laboratory is not made from Seastone, it is also an extremely strong ore and special alloy, but it still couldnt bear Rosss dissipating power. The test bench in front of Ross was also distorted inch by inch under the dissipated power of distortion as if it had become twisted and it constantly crumbled. Countless experimental equipment was broken. Now. Ross could feel that the Will inside the Cursed Blade Murasame was rushing towards him frantically, with a frightening deterrent, and it wanted to make him fear. This is not the will of Cursed Blade (Yt), but the ability of Soul-Soul Fruit. Once he developed fear, the consequences were undoubtedly unthinkable. But unfortunately, Rosss eyes were calm and indifferent, without any slight fluctuation in them as he stared at the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand. If he had just arrived in this world, he might not be able to resist the power of Soul-Soul Fruit that incorporated the Will of Cursed Blade (Yt). But. At this moment, he is one of the Yonk (Four Emperors) of the sea! He is the worlds strongest who defeated Whitebeard! When it comes to Will, he doesnt think that many people would be able to beat him! With Soul-Soul Fruit, do you think you can retaliate against me? Ross had confronted the Will of Cursed Blade Murasame many times. As early as when he first got the Cursed Blade Murasame, he fought it many times. Each time the Cursed Blade Murasame was defeated by his fierce oppression, and it finally obediently surrendered. Now that the Soul-Soul Fruit is integrated with it, its Will has been increased and with the ability of Soul-Soul Fruit, it has begun to rebel again. Buzz !! !! !! While Ross spoke indifferently, his Haoshoku Haki burst out violently and a captivating force broke out, forcing the Will of Cursed Blade Murasame out from his body. At the same time, Ross fully gathered the power of Haoshoku Haki onto the sword edge of the Cursed Blade Murasame and attacked its Will with Haoshoku Haki. Ding-Ding! The Cursed Blade Murasames blade trembles constantly. Even though the Cursed Blade (Yt) had become frightening, even if it has combined with the power of Soul-Soul Fruit, under the impact of Ross Haoshoku Haki, it still has no resistance. What a joke! Even BIGMOM with Soul-Soul Fruit wasnt able to handle Ross, how could a blade surpass BIGMOM? Its obviously impossible. Under the strong oppression of Rosss Haoshoku Haki, the resistance formed by the Will of the Cursed Blade Murasame collapsed and was forced to be crushed by Ross Haki. What happens if the power of Soul-Soul Fruit is defeated? If you are a human, there may not be any strange changes, but the Cursed Blade Murasame is a blade and it does not have a human body and human will. In the previous confrontation, the Cursed Blade Murasame was the force that drove Soul-Soul Fruit to try to swallow Ross, but the power of Soul-Soul Fruit was like a fragile jelly in front of Ross. With a brutal Haki, Ross just crushed the jelly. Because the Cursed Blade Murasame does not have real consciousness, it is only a withdrawal of Cursed Blade (Yt), so after Rosss will slammed into it, his incomplete Will was broken up. The Will of Cursed Blade (Yt) and the power of Soul-Soul Fruit are completely broken up, and unknowingly, it has begun to form a subtle connection with Ross will. Well Ross was also slightly surprised. At that moment, he felt a strange connection to the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand and the blade seemed to become a part of his body, like the fingers on his hand, which can be driven at will. Even he could clearly feel that the power of Soul-Soul Fruit contained in Cursed Blade Murasame can also be inspired by his power. Although he doesnt know what happened, this is obviously a good thing. Uhh Lord Ross? Caesar who had retracted into the corner looks up after the Will of the Cursed Blade had gradually stopped, he looked carefully at Ross. Seeing that Ross was motionless in place, he couldnt help feeling terrified and asked tentatively. Ross did not respond as he was immersed in the feeling of him being completely integrated with the Cursed Blade Murasame, or that it became a part of himself. Lord Ross? Caesar asked again, seeing that Ross hadnt responded yet, and his heart was a little cold. If Ross is really controlled by the Cursed Blade (Yt), then something will happen, not to mention whether he will be killed by Ross, even if Ross doesnt kill him, Law and Laffitte will not let him go. They will crush his heart and he will die. However. In the midst of Caesars growing fear and he was on the verge of crying, Rosss eyes finally come back to life, as if he had been in a trance for a long time. He looked at the damaged testbed and the cracked ground under his feet, then turned to look at Caesar in the corner. Good job. Get Captain Law to repair the damage here. In Caesars fear, Ross speaks to Caesar. After saying those words, Ross walked out of the laboratory. The newly acquired Cursed Blade Murasame No, Cursed Blade Soul Cutting Blade was in his hand and he naturally cant wait to play with it. Hearing Ross words, Caesar was finally relieved, It is indeed impossible for the Ghost Hand Ross to be controlled by a mere blade. Now that hes done a good job, he knows that he is close to getting his heart back and he may become a direct subordinate of Ross. Chapter 360 Manufacturing Homies Leaving Caesars laboratory. Ross came to the place where the criminals were detained but saying that they were detained criminals were a bit too much as, In fact, most of them were those who were too brave and invaded Totto Landsea. Those who were left after being slaughtered by Shiliew of the Rain were used as Laws test props. It is Ghost hand! When Ross showed up, a lot of criminals showed their fear. Some of them come here thinking that Ross didnt deserve his Yonk (Four Emperors) title and he wasnt that strong and was only a lawless pirate, but the result was that they couldnt even defeat a Division Captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates and their defeat was devastating. Naturally. There are also those who are not afraid of Ross, and they looked at Ross with eyes filled with anger. Ross came to a fearless person and took out the Cursed Blade (Yt). He didnt ask What are you looking at? He raised his hand and stabbed the blade into that persons body. The man apparently didnt expect Ross to start hacking people, his face suddenly changed, but because he was shackled and tortured there, there was no room for him to move, he could only watch as the sharp blade cut across. But. Rosss sword didnt cut him, but passed him, sweeping the space and splitting the cage in two. Eh? This is Some of the people in the cage next to him looked over in disbelief, their faces changing as they wondered what Ross was going to do. The prisoner in front of Ross, though he was not struck by the blade, something rises from his body in a weird, soul-like mass. Sure enough. There was a trace of a smile on Rosss mouth, and Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand waved again. Sii! This one swept straight through the strange mass, cutting it open in an instant, and at the same time the prisoners eyes turned white and he fell back. This is one of Soul-Soul Fruits abilities. Soul Pocus, BIGMOM used this ability to speak directly to the human souls attachment to life, while striking fear into her opponent. She will demand that the person either give her what she desires or gives her their lifespan. If the person fears death for even a moment, Big Mom will be able to take their lifespan in any amount that she chooses; she can even take a persons entire remaining lifespan, instantly killing them. Once the fear appears, the life span will be overflowed with what is visible to the naked eye and will be stripped by the will of the Soul Soul Fruit User. The Cursed Blade, which combines with the Soul-Soul Fruit and turns into the Soul Cutting Blade, naturally has this ability. Ok Ross took a look at the Life, or Soul, that was around the Cursed Blade and after some time, he swung his sword. Under the control of Ross, the soul flew into a prison cage and merged with the cage, which also emitted light and underwent weird changes. When the light is gone. Eyes and mouth appeared on the cage. Boss! When the cage came alive, he became a living cage, and spoke respectfully to Ross. Obviously. While possessing the ability to strip soul and life, Ross also has the same ability to make Homies as BIGMOM did, giving life to something that isnt alive. What! The cage is alive! Several prisoners in the cage screamed strangely, watching the cage that had suddenly become alive, they looked at the talking cage, showing a bit of fright. Ross stared at the Cursed Blade Murasame for a few seconds, and then glanced at the living cage. Keep an eye on them, dont let the prisoners escape. Yes! Boss! The cage responded respectfully to Ross. The existence of Homies will be determined by the personality of the Soul-Soul Fruit user. Rosss personality is calm and the Homies created will also possess this trait. It looks like Soul-Soul Fruit No, Cursed Blade Murasames Will has become a part of me and had completely turned into my vassal. Ross murmured as he looked at the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand. He has also noticed that it is not simply a sword with the ability to eat Devil Fruit, but it is him with a situation similar to eating double Devil Fruits! However, the power of Soul-Soul Fruit is completely attached to the Cursed Blade (Yt). It will not increase or weaken and is completely fixed by Cursed Blade Murasame. This was obviously something Ross was happy to see. The Cursed Blade Murasame that obeyed his orders and the Cursed Blade Murasame which became a part of himself were clearly different. If it was the former case, then the Cursed Blade Murasame can be taken away by others. As long as others can suppress Cursed Blade Murasame, they can use the ability of Cursed Blade Murasame. But now. Even if other people take Cursed Blade Murasame, they will not be able to use its ability. Unless Ross is killed, the owner of Cursed Blade Murasame is only one, that is Ross. After confirming this, Ross looked at the prisoners in the cage and experimented, he stripped them of their souls and gave the souls to the cages and chains. During this process, Ross also gradually discovered the essence of Homies. The essence of Homies is life. He stripped off a prisoners 30-year life span, which would give the cage 30 years of life, or evenly distribute it to the two cages, each of which would have 15 years of life. This kind of life span does not come out of thin air, it does not become more or less, it is a kind of transfer of soul. And by this time, Ross had some inkling of why the retrograde fruit, the fruit that causes the body to age backward, was not so valuable. In this world, the life span of a person is related to the soul. The regressive fruit can only regress the body, but it cannot prolong the real life of the soul. Even if an old man were to regress to a few years, he would still die due to the exhaustion of his life. Only the Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit can really extend someones life! Yes. Not even Soul-Soul Fruit can extend someones life. Soul-Soul Fruit can strip other peoples lives, but it cant be integrated into living things. Ross cant extend his life by depriving others of theirs. Soul incarnation Ross said after doing several experiments with taking someones soul, he began to study another ability of Soul-Soul Fruit, that is, the ability to make his own soul incarnation. Soul is related to longevity, but it is an exception for the Soul Soul Fruit user. Making his own soul incarnation does not need to deprive Ross of his life. Ross recalls that BIGMOMs soul incarnation can be more than one or two. Those things that collect life in Cake Island every day are also BIGMOMs soul incarnation. There is no doubt that those things can also produce High-Level Homies like Zeus and Prometheus. In this case, Soul-Soul Fruit is indeed an extremely powerful Devil Fruit! If BIGMOM produces Homies with Hurricane, Ice, and other elements, it would be almost like taking charge of endless natural disasters with one persons power! Just think. Wherever BIGMOM went, thunder, howling flames, hurricanes, and frozen winds, and various elements will interweave and collide, I am afraid she would have been the strongest Yonk (Four Emperors) or even the Pirate King! You must know that High-Level Homies, such as Zeus and Prometheus are full of power, and their power is close to the level of Three Disasters, and they are immortal! After all. BIGMOM is just a creature born with a body like a monster. In many ways, she does not have the will of a real emperor, because she does not walk to the top one step at a time with her own efforts. If the Soul-Soul Fruit was in the hands of Whitebeard and Red Hair Shanks, they would have been more powerful than BIGMOM. CHAPTER 361 SOUL INCARNATION Lets make an incarnation of my soul first. After a moment of contemplation, Ross turned back and looked at the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand, his eyes flashed lightly. After being familiar with the power of Cursed Blade Murasame, he already knew how to make his soul incarnation, that is, to fuse part of his will with the power of Soul-Soul Fruit, and cut it out with Cursed Blade Murasame. Its here. What blends with the will of Ross is the power of Soul-Soul Fruit, not the soul and life, so for Ross himself, making this soul incarnation will not consume his life, but he only used Soul-Soul Fruit and Cursed Blade Murasame power. After deciding, Ross took a deep breath and calmed his mind and fused his will with Cursed Blade Murasame, and launched Soul-Soul Fruits ability. Zizi! Cursed Blade Murasames blade gradually shed a ray of dim light. This light grew stronger and finally reached a certain level, Rosss eyes flashed, and Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand flickered. Buzz !! The light was thrown out by Cursed Blade Murasame and it landed on the ground ten meters away, and after squirming, it turned into a black slime-like thing. There are eyes and mouths on the black thing, but they dont seem to speak. This is Homies, produced by Rosss will. It belongs to the soul of his incarnation. Even if it does not speak, he can perceive the consciousness of the other party. Obviously, this consciousness cannot be compared with Ross itself. It is like Ross dropping a drop of blood. Although this drop of blood has life, it is far from being comparable with Ross. It doesnt seem like much either Ross looked at his soul incarnation and frowned slightly. He doesnt think how strong the Will of this Homies will be, compared with himself. Will this Homie be able to control the body of a character like Katakuri? After frowning and thinking, Ross could not help but shake his head. In any case, he has to try it. Captain Ross. At this time, Trafalgar Law finally came after hearing the news. He called Ross more casually, he sometimes called him Lord, and sometimes he used Captain habitually. Ross doesnt care much about symmetrical calls. It seems to have succeeded. Trafalgar Law naturally knew that Caesar was responsible for the integration of Cursed Blade Murasame and Soul-Soul Fruit. Seeing those living cages in the cell, he knew that Caesar should have been successful. He was also present when attacking Cake Island before. He is no stranger to this kind of Homies, and it is clear that this is BIGMOMs Soul-Soul Fruit ability. But. It is now Ross ability. The fusion of Cursed Blade Murasame and Soul-Soul Fruit is indeed successful, but whether my incarnation can drive Katakuris body, I am not quite sure Ross watched the dim dark slime and shook his head. Trafalgar Law also looked in the direction of Ross and saw the slime and he had a little uncertain expression on his face. He didnt even know if he could use Personality Transplant Surgery on this. Lets go and give it a try. Can you strip Katakuris will now? Ross asked Trafalgar Law. Trafalgar Law nodded. Naturally. Its been so long, hed be a bit of a waste if he couldnt strip Katakuri of his will. Now hes not far behind the likes of Fujitora, Shiliew of the Rain, and even Ficheux Erman in terms of power. They soon arrived at the lab. Katakuri has been kept in the lab, but he doesnt look much different now than he did six months ago. The strong people of this rank cannot be imprisoned for a year and a half to wipe out their consciousness. Otherwise, the Eternal Hell on the sixth floor of Impel Down would be a joke. Sensing Rosss arrival, Katakuri opens his eyes. And he just kept looking at Ross. However, Ross has already reached the peak of the sea, and naturally, he will not be affected by Katakuris murder filled eyes, even if his killing intent is ten times more powerful, it would still be ignored. After Katakuri stared at Ross for a few seconds, he suddenly changed his gaze and looked at the dimly colored slime behind him. This is He is the original Head of the Four Sweet Commanders, and he is naturally very clear about BIGMOMs ability. This thing is obviously a Soul Incarnation. But BIGMOM has fallen into Rosss hands and the Soul-Soul Fruits abilities have all been lost, Homies and soul incarnation have died. That is to say that. Ross got the Soul-Soul Fruit! Lets Start. Ross didnt think of talking to Katakuri. Long ago, he had already said what to say, and now there is nothing good. Trafalgar Law nodded and his right hand moved. ROOM! The translucent dome opened instantly, covering the entire room. Immediately after Trafalgar Law raised his hand and Katakuris brows creased, his will and Laws ability confronted against each other. However. Compared with the time when they had just defeated the BIGMOM Pirates, Law has grown a lot. In terms of the ability of Personality Transplant Surgery, it has also reached the level of proficiency, which is no longer what Katakuri can resist. Even if Katakuri concentrated all of his Will, a heart-shaped thing was still stripped from his body little by little. At the same time. The slime-like Homie was constantly shrinking under Laws ability and finally turned into a heart-shaped thing. Exchange! Trafalgar Laws eyes flashed, and the Homie, who turned into a heart shape, penetrated into the inside of Katakuris body. At the same time, Katakuris soul flew towards Rosss body. Sii! Ross pulled out the Cursed Blade Murasame and stabbed it. Katakuris soul was pierced by the Cursed Blade Murasame and turned into a weird mass, surrounding the blade of the Cursed Blade Murasame, and finally absorbed by the Cursed Blade Murasame. After all of this, Ross and Laws eyes fell on Katakuri, and the eyes of both of them showed their interest. I dont know how long it has been. Katakuri, who was in a coma, opened his eyes slowly as if he didnt feel well, he twisted his neck and twisted his arms. Boss. After looking around for a moment, his eyes quickly fell on Ross body and he opened his mouth calmly at Ross. Ross was slightly relieved to see this. The Soul-Soul Fruit cut-out soul incarnation was used to replace other peoples souls to complete the Personality Transplant Surgery. It was obviously a success. Today, Katakuri has become a Homies under his control. The next problem is, Will this Homie be able to use Katakuris strength. CHAPTER 362 ROBBERY Sii! Sii! Not letting Law do anything, the Cursed Blade Murasame in Ross hands waved directly twice to cut off the Seastone chain, and Katakuri also stood up. How much power can you use? Controlling the body of Katakuri is the High-Level Homies made by Ross which, though far from the standards of Ross in terms of Will, is the equivalent of a small Ross with many of Rosss characteristics. Katakuri shook his fist and felt the power in his body. I dont know, He said calmly. Oh? Hearing the other persons words, Ross was slightly surprised, had he underestimated this slime? He stroked his chin for a moment and thought, Follow me. Yes. This Homie is similar to BIGMOMs Prometheus and Zeus. They only have a very simple consciousness. It responded to Ross and walked out. Arriving at a testing room deep inside the base, Ross signals to Katakuri to hit him. This room is specially constructed, the outer wall is made of the strongest steel, and there is a Seastone interlayer inside, plus a Stress release layer. Even if it is not as strong as Mariejoiss core warehouse, it is not too different. It is used to measure the power of various weapons. Cut Mochi! The Homies eyes flashed, revealing a calm temperament similar to Rosss. His arms suddenly swelled and turned into Mochi. With dark Armament Haki attached to his fist, he smashed into Ross. Ross didnt back up and waved his right arm. Bang! A huge Mochi arm smashed on Ross arm and a depressed Bang rang out but it failed to make Ross take a step back. Carry on. The light flashed in Ross eyes and he ordered the other party to continue. The Homie responded and immediately began to launch his attacks using his abilities. The Homie launched an attack on Ross and began to perform Katakuris tricks one by one. Bang! Bang! Bang! The battle continued and by the end, Ross had a smile on his face. He really underestimated his soul incarnation. After his soul incarnation took control of Katakuris body, he can exert his strength and it can reach as much as 90% of Katakuris original strength! The only flaw is that he cant use Future Prediction of the Kenbonshoku (Observation). But even so, he is already strong enough. The strength of this Homie is still in the rank of Three Disasters! It is indeed the soul incarnation of Captain Ross. Trafalgar Law stood at the door, looking at Ross and Katakuri in Battle, and his eyes changed slightly. He did not expect that Rosss soul incarnation could bring Katakuris strength to such an extent that it was a perfect fit! Thats enough. Faced with another attack from Homie, Ross punched out and the power of distortion broke out and the Mochi got distorted into a ball and flew out. The other party stopped immediately. Katakuri no, there is no need for that name anymore. Ross watched the other person slightly. He cant make this kind of soul incarnation without limit. If he had eaten this Devil Fruit himself, he might be able to make more than ten. But now, the limit of Cursed Blade Murasames affordability is probably five or six. For Ross, five or six is ??enough. A name emerged in Rosss mind as he thought about the number of six souls, plus the ability of the other side is Paramecia Mochi-Mochi Fruit. Six Paths of Pain Asura! There is no problem and it is in line with its identity. Ross decisively renamed the Katakuri in front of him as Asura of Six Paths of Pain! You stay in the base for the time being, put on a cape, and dont let anyone know who you are. After naming the other party, Ross gave an order to Asura. Although Asura is also his puppet, it is still fundamentally different from the Six Paths of Pain from Naruto World. The will of Six Paths of Pain and the will of the bodies he used are not different, and this Asurah and Rosss Will is disconnected. It is just like BIGMOMs relationship with Homies like Prometheus and Zeus. Naturally. Homies, produced by Rosss soul incarnation has some of Rosss characteristics. Ross didnt worry that he would be taken away by Nami as Zeus did. He is not BIGMOM. Yes. Asura echoed calmly. It doesnt have Rosss memory, but it does have some of Rosss will and his character is similar to Rosss, and it has a very simple sense. After dealing with Asura, Ross and Law returned to the laboratory. For those who are weaker than Katakuri, Ross does not intend to use his soul incarnation to make them puppets. After all, his soul incarnation will probably be limited at six. Every puppet he controls must at least reach the power similar to Katakuri, otherwise, it is not worth to control someone weak with his soul incarnation. And. After cutting out a soul incarnation, Ross cant cut out the second one in a short time. He must rest for some time, otherwise, it will damage his will. Asura will stay with you temporarily. Dont let him do anything unless he has to, and when he does, be sure to deal with the aftermath. Ross said to Law. Law understands the importance of this and nodded solemnly. If the news of Katakuri becoming a puppet of Ross spread out, I am afraid that other Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates will immediately feel threatened, and even if they do not join forces, they will be extremely wary of the Ghost Hand Pirates. Even the World Government and Marines will not sit still. This is enough power to shake the foundations of the world! Just think. If Ross alone controls six characters that are comparable to Katakuris strength, even if he attacks Marine Headquarters, it would be nothing! Besides, Katakuri is probably not the only character Ross will control after all. Hundred Beast Kaido is also one of Rosss targets! Thats the only way. Only by doing this would he have the power to fight against the World Government. After returning to the Sky island, Ross began to rest, intending to restore his mental fatigue and then cut out a soul incarnation to devour the Hurricane Logia Fruit. Using Logias Hurricane fruit to create a soul incarnation, it would be far more powerful than using ordinary storms to create it. Maybe the strength of this soul incarnation will be comparable to that of Asura! Ross had some expectations in mind. A few days later. The Intelligence forces collected news about Black Prison and handed it to Robin. Robin read through the intelligence and reported to Ross. Marine Admiral Yizhai, was from the era of Chief Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong It is said that no pirate was able to escape from his hands. Everyone who meets him was imprisoned in a dark prison. So he was called Admiral Black Prison! It turned out to be someone from the Old Era. Ross glanced at the intelligence lightly. In the previous era, Sengoku and Zephyr were the Marine Admiral, respectively. The vacant Admiral position, the government has always planned to let Garp succeed it, but Garp has repeatedly refused to be promoted. In the previous era before Sengoku, Steel Bone Kong and Black Prison Yizhai were Marine Admiral respectively. As for the third Marine Admiral seat, it was not vacant, and its possessor has a title and was known as Disaster. But. When Steel Bone Kong was promoted to Marine Fleet Admiral, Black Prison and Disaster Marine Admiral both disappeared from that period. Intelligence about Black Prison and Disaster was deliberately blocked by the World Government, and their information is now scarce and even their abilities are not known. But. Ross, who fought against Black Prison once, knows that the opponents ability is Paramecia Attraction Fruit, which is extremely powerful and that person is more difficult to deal with then the current Marine Admiral such as Aokiji or Kizaru. Moreover, Attraction Fruit is the superior fruit in the Gravity Devil Fruit branch. If Fujitora and Black Prison encounter each other, Fujitora will be in great trouble as he would not be able to fight him. If it wasnt for him to make a fuss in Holy Land and snatching things from the core warehouse, I am afraid that this Black Prison would not have appeared at all. He is undoubtedly one of the hidden powers of the World Government. Yes, there is one more thing. After commenting on the intelligence of Black Prison, Robin said, One of our subordinates merchant ship was looted. The robber was a Shichibukai. Ohh? When did Shichibukais guts become so big. Ross gave Robin a strange look. However, Shichibukais are rebellious characters, Sand Crocodile was the perfect example as he kept shouting to take Whitebeards head even when he didnt had the strength to do so, so Ross is not surprised. Ross asked, Which Shichibukai? Robin put her arms behind her and said, After the merchant ship came back, all the goods were gone, and the people on the ship were turned into stones. According to this intelligence, it should be the Empress of Shichibukai, Boa Hancock. Chapter 363 Pirate Emperess At the mention of Empress Boa Hancock, there was a hint of something interesting in Robins tone and she looked at Ross with a half-smile on her face. Rosss face remained unchanged. The Empress she is really not easy to handle. If I remember it correctly, the Amazon Lily Island should be in the Calm Belt. Yes. Robin nodded and said: Although I can get the sea map of the Amazon Lily, its a bit of a fantasy to be able to come and go freely in Calm Belt by sea map alone. There are super giant Sea Kings in the Calm Belt, even if it is Shiliew of the Rain, he would not be able to come and go as he please. The rest of the giant Sea Kings and large Sea Kings are also troublesome. Shiliew of the Rain can freeze the surface of the sea and the top powerful people are not afraid of going there, but if these Sea Kings swallow the ship in one bite, or break the ship with a tail then they will become afraid as they would have to swim in the sea which is already impossible for the Devil Fruit Users. But. Robins voice turned and he said: Its not impossible, Marine Battleships bottom surface is inlaid with Seastone to avoid the perception of the Sea Kings. Lets leave it to Captain Shiliew, I think hell be happy to do it. Robin smiled as she said that. To deal with a Shichibukai, as far as the Ghost Hand Pirates power is concerned, they only need to dispatch a few top-ranking teams. Ross thought of the scene where Shiliew ran to the Amazon Lily Island, and he couldnt help but say, When Shiliew starts, he doesnt stop, and if he robs a Marines Battleship. Its not guaranteed that Marines will not act. What do you mean? Robin tilted her head and looked at Ross. Ross calmly said: Ill go there once. The power of the Amazon Lily Island cannot be ignored. Maybe it will be our Ninth Division. Robin said with a smile: And Here I thought that Captain just wanted to see the legendary Pirate Empress. Ross pretends to not hear Robins words. What a joke! Even if Hancock is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the sea, what about it, he is a Yonk (Four Emperors) of the New World, he is the strongest man in the world, would he be charmed by a Female Empress. And taking into account the hatred Boa Hancock had for tenryubito, it is not absolutely impossible to make the Amazon Lily Island become the subordinates to the Ghost Hand Pirates and become the Ninth Division. The Empresss Battle Power is more than enough for her to serve as the Captain of the Ninth Division. Do I need to notify the entourage? Robin asked Ross. Ross shook his head and said, No need, just give me the sea map. Robin had already expected that and she handed him a folded sea map. The position of the Amazon Lily was marked on the sea map but it was not accurate, it was also locked in a small sea, which was much easier to find than the Base of the Scientific Force. Go early and return early, Captain. After giving the map to Ross, Robin said with a smile. Ross took a look at the sea map and thought for a moment, and said, You can go there too, maybe there is a Poneglyph in the Amazon Lily Island. Ross intends to let her follow him, which is a bit unexpected for Robin, but the smile on her face becomes a little more real when she hears that there might be a Poneglyph. Ok. Amazon Lily Island. Inside the Royal Palace. Hancock, who had just finished bathing, was wearing a luxurious bathrobe and she was sitting on the couch to rest, and finishing her slightly wet hair. And just then, a slightly impatient voice came. I heard you ransacked the merchant ship of the Charfield family?! The previous generation Amazon Lily Island Empress Elder Nyon came over with a snake stick. Some of Hancocks maids were shocked when they saw Elder Nyon, including the two at the door. They couldnt help but say, Oh Lord Elder Nyon, where did you come from? Hancock sat there, looking calm and said without looking up: Noisy, get out for me. Every time Elder Nyon appeared in her room was when she wanted some quiet, the guard at the door was useless, but she herself didnt know where she came from. Wait, Snake Princess! Elder Nyon waved her snake stick and called, Do you know the origin of the Charfield family? They are merchant subordinates of the Ghost Hand Pirates! Oh?! Ghost Hand Pirates? The Sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold who stood next to Hancock, suddenly heard Elder Nyons words, and their expressions suddenly changed. On this sea, people who have never heard of the name of Yonk (Four Emperors) almost never exist, and if they do, they are basically idiots. Besides. The Ghost Hand Pirates also defeated the Whitebeard Pirates some time ago, and Ghost Hand Ross became the strongest man in the world while the Ghost Hand Pirates became the most terrifying force in this sea, with a reputation that shocked the entire sea! The two sisters stared at each other and they could not help but think of the scene of looting merchant ships at that time. No wonder the Captain of the merchant ship was not afraid but said sternly that they were members of the Charfield family, but before the other party said the next few words, Hancock had already started directly, turning the Captain into a stone figure. She said she did not want to listen to others. Although Sandersonia and Marigold have heard of the Ghost Hand Pirates, they do not know that Charfield Merchant Family is the subordinates of the Ghost Hand Pirates. After the Captain was turned into a stone figure by Hancock, they didnt think much about it. They led their subordinates to carry things and robbed the merchant ship. Ghost hand? Hancocks jade-like hands were lightly moistened as they played with her soft hairs and there was a slight wave in the calm pupil. Her personality is very clear to everyone, she is extremely proud, narcissistic, domineering, and wayward, but she is not Stupid. Just like in the original series, the World Government sent Momonga to invite Hancock to take part in the War Of The Best. She knew very well what would happen if she did not take part in it. Even without Luffys participation, she was likely to go to the War Of The Best in the end. This is evident from her acceptance of the Shichibukai treaty even with her strong hatred of the World Government and Tenryubito. Yes, that Ghost Hand Pirates! Elder Nyon said with a look of calmness: This pirate group must not provoked. Snake Princess, you plundered their merchant ship. They will never forgive this. The Amazon Lily Island may be destroyed for this! Listening to Elder Nyons words, Sandersonia and Marigold were stunned and they began to show a little panic while looking at Hancock together. However. Hancock only stopped for a moment, but continued to brush her hair calmly with her fingers, and said, Its annoying, throw her out. Elder Nyons face froze, and she had a terrible headache. Wait, Snake Princess! You need to send someone to send their things back, maybe you can save the situation, otherwise Chapter 364 Arrival In Amazon Lily Island Otherwise? Hancock stood up, staring at Elder Nyon with an unfeeling indifference on his pretty cheek, and said, What if we plunder their merchant ships? Speaking of this, Hancocks frosty pretty face suddenly took on a delicate and pitiful attitude and said, This kind of thing will certainly be forgiven. Poof! The heartbeats of Elder Nyon and the many female guards present at the scene accelerated because of the expression on their Empresss face, they could not help but fell in love with her even they were both women. Freed from the charm of the Empress, Elder Nyon showed her teeth and said: Its not the time for you to act unreasonable, Snake Princess! Enough. Hancock walked to Elder Nyon and grabbed her hair, the cold and domineering expressions of an Empress were restored on her face. My ears dont want to hear your nagging anymore. Holding Elder Nyons hair, Hancock raised her hand and threw her directly out of the window as Elder Nyon let out a strange noise. Ah, Snake Princess, how could you treat Elder Nyon like this? The next guards were sweating from their foreheads. Hancock turned her head and two faint blushes appeared on her cheeks, showing a perfect expression, and said pitifully, If you are not careful The female guards present were once again hit by her charms. Yes, yes! No one can avoid being careless! After throwing Elder Nyon out, Hancock returned to the couch and said in a flat voice, You all go out, you too Sanda and Mari. The guards responded and left the room, while Sandersonia and Marigold looked at each other and saw the tension in each others eyes, but at the moment they had to leave the room helplessly. Time cant go backward, looting a merchant ship is looting a merchant ship, not to mention that the goods have already been consumed, and even if they were not consumed, it does not mean that the conflict can be resolved by sending it back as it is. Besides. They knew too much about Hancocks personality, and there was almost no possibility of her bowing to anyone. However, when they thought that this is the Amazon Lily Island, located in the Calm Belt, it is extremely difficult to come here, and it is even possible to meet the Super Giant Sea King, their hearts were a little more relaxed. With this location, the Ghost Hand Pirates may not be able to do anything to the Amazon Lily Island. After the guard and both of her sisters left. Only Hancock was left in the room. With a gentle sigh, she went to the couch. Two smooth white jade arms came out of her bathrobe and hugged her calf gently and she lowered her head. At this moment, she had only a bathrobe on her body. If someone stood in front of her, they would be able to see everything from her head to toe. The delicate and tender skin was perfect and flawless, plus the extraordinary Charm, and the slightest sorrow of anxiety between her eyebrows. Not many people can resist such beauty. Hancock is not stupid. On the contrary, hidden under waywardness and pride, she has a clever heart. She knew the Severity of this situation when she heard that the merchant ship they had robbed the other day belonged to the Ghost Hand Pirates. But this matter is not as easy to solve as Elder Nyon said. Shichibukais status is only attached to the World Government and they have provoked a Yonk (Four Emperors). It would be a miracle if the government and Marine send out help even if she seeks it. As for the return of goods, it is also a stupid idea. Besides, she also has her own pride. It is impossible for her to send back what she grabbed and then bow her head to others, even if she is dead. Otherwise. It would be impossible for her to have HaoshokuHaki. This world Hancocks slim fingers squeezed tightly, pinching dents on the skin of her calf, and she bit her silver teeth lightly, showing not tenacity but fragility. No matter how willful and domineering she is, there is always an unchangeable and most vulnerable place in her heart. This is evident from her past as she didnt want anyone to know that she was a slave. In fact. With absolute strength and Haki, how can she not be able to suppress a small island like Amazon Lily? But, Because of this, her strength is strong, but it has also stagnated on a level, including her Haoshoku Haki, which is also inferior to Doflamingo. Just as Hancock was sitting there alone, and all of her feelings were on the surface, a slight panic came from the door. Snake Princess! There are enemies! Hancock, who was still tightly pinching her calf and biting his silver teeth, took a deep breath the next moment, and all of her expressions instantly converged, restoring the attitude of the Empress Pirate. She pulled off her robe and threw it over herself. She stepped down from her seat, and as soon as she left the room she saw a nervous guard standing there. What enemy? Hancock asked. The guards voice trembled slightly. Its the Ghost Hand Pirates! Hancock glanced at her coldly and said, So youre scared like that? Useless things, get out of here! After a shout, she went straight out of the palace. Hancocks reprimand didnt break the guards mentality but instead changed the guards face a few times as she showed a hint of perseverance and she began to follow Hancock with her weapon. Amazon Lily Island, Coast. A sailing ship flying the flag of the Ghost Hand Pirates was docking along the coast, where a fierce clash erupted. A large number of fighters appeared on the side of Amazon Lily Island, and more people were still coming, but there were only two people coming down from the ship of the Ghost Hand Pirates. It was Ross and Robin. Faced with the flood of Kuja Warriors, their expressions were calm, and Ross didnt even make a move but stood there with both hands behind his back. It was Robin alone, who blocked all the Kuja warriors that had struck, and swept through them in a smashing manner, and no one could stop her. The current Robins strength has entered a bottleneck. She doesnt have a strong desire to become stronger, so this bottleneck has almost no possibility of being broken, and she doesnt even want to become stronger so it wouldnt even help to be persecuted by external forces. Besides, Ross doesnt care much. Her Battle power is enough now, and she doesnt need to be stronger. She is not a Battle member who rushes to the front to kill. But. Even so, Robins strength is not something that these warriors can withstand. In this world, Battle is a catalyst for improving strength. Robin has followed Ross for nearly seven years. From the bottom all the way to now, she is a member of the qualified Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates and her Battle powers are enough for her to get a bounty of 400 Million Berries. Even if she is not as good as Doflamingo and the Three Disasters, she is just a grade below that. She is still very powerful. Treinta Fleur, Hook! Faced with the Kuja Warriors, Robins eyes were calm, her arms were folded in front of her and countless arms appeared on dozens of people. Under a twist, their bones and muscles make a crackling sound. However, Robin did not kill them, because Rosss plan to come over this time was not to destroy the Amazon Lily Island but to insert the Ghost Hand Pirates flag on the Amazon Lily Island. Chapter 365 Robin Vs Hancock Stand back! Just when Robin defeated many Kuja Warriors and defeated them, Hancocks two sisters Sandersonia and Marigold finally arrived. Originally, they also had the idea of ??avoiding conflict with the Ghost Hand Pirates as much as possible, but seeing the conflict on the coast was overwhelming, and the people on their side fell to the ground one after another under Robins hands, they could not help yelling at them. Cien Fleur (Hundred flowers) Doppelg?nger. Robins face was light as her arms staggered in front of her and as the petals flew, two doppelg?nger emerged to meet Sandersonia and Marigold who rushed over. Sandersonia and Marigold were surprised by Robins doppelg?nger but they did not pause, each wielding their weapon and slashing down. Huh! On Robins thin jade arm, a dark Armament Haki emerged. Both doppelg?ngers staggered their arms and blocked the attack of the two. Haki? This level of Haki Sandersonia and Marigold are also strong women who can use Haki. From this hit, they were able to determine the intensity of Roins Armament Haki, which is far above them! On the Amazon Lily island, I am afraid that only their sister Hancocks Armament Haki can fight this person in front of them! But. At this point, even if the two women knew that it would be difficult for them to defeat Robin, they still choose to continue with their attacks. Robin smiled as she controlled the two doppelg?ngers to directly restrain the weapons of Sandersonia and Marigold, and her hands twitched. Kch! A crisp and tense sound sounded. The weapons in their hands were broken by Robins strangulation! Then, with a wave of her hands, Robin produced countless arms and turned them into two huge palms. With a single stroke from left to right, she took Sandersonia and Marigold out. How can this be, even Sandersonia Sama and Marigold Sama Many nearby female warriors could not help but tremble when they saw this scene. Their strength was much weaker than Sandersonia and Marigold, but now Sandersonia and Marigold are also defeated by this women! And. The most terrifying one is not the woman in front of them, but the man who stood on the shore from beginning to end without moving. Most of them do not know Robin, but many people recognize Ross, Yonk (Four Emperors)! Even if the Amazon Lily Island is isolated from the outside world. It is necessary for them to go out and plunder from time to time, and they occasionally get some newspapers or wanted posters. They have learned about the terrifying existence that is Ross, who stands at the peak of the sea. Cough Sandersonia and Marigold, who were slapped out, had bloodstains on the corners of their mouths and they stared at each other, seeing the discoloration in each others eyes. They have provoked the Ghost Hand Pirates and they had already guessed that the other party might not give up, but they did not expect for them to come to their door so soon. And the most important thing is. Ghost Hand Ross himself didnt do anything at all. It was just a woman who had taken them all out. The Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates are really terrifying! The rumored Amazon Lily island of Female Warriors. It doesnt live up to its reputation. Robin saw some people in the vicinity wincing but they did not rush up again. She couldnt help but stop and gently smile. Ross stood on the shore but his gaze was on Robin. He had never seen the scene where Robin easily defeated the enemy and scared the opponent. Speaking of which. Although Robin was kind in her heart, her external appearance was somewhat bitter and black. Naturally, the most important thing that makes Ross difficult to give up Robin is that this woman is too smart, she always knows when to do something and she occasionally gives Ross a wicked look to express her dissatisfaction. And when Ross needs something else, Robin can always quickly detect what he needs and there are not many people who can do this. At least Kalifa and Reiju are worse than Robin. Hearing a few sloppy words coming from Robins mouth, many female warriors were a little annoyed and gritted their teeth. Some people with a hot personality, under the stimulation of Robins words, charged toward Robin, trying to continue to fight against Robin. Boom! Boom! Robins face remained the same and with a slight smile on her face, she also came forward to meet the charging crowd. She doesnt have many skills in Close-Combat Fighting, but she is the person closest to Ross so no matter how bad, her body movements are light and flexible. Ross smiled as he watched the scene in front of him. Admiring Robins Battle powers as it does has a unique taste. But. Just as Robin wandered through the crowd and everyone fell to the ground as no one could resist, a figure suddenly appeared behind the crowd. Wearing a bright red cheongsam, exquisite earlobes wearing snake earrings, long black hair flying in the air as the limbs move, showing their suppleness. Perfume Femur! Boom! !! !! Hancock kicked out with the Mero Mero Fruit ability, breaking Robins doppelganger and spreading it out into numerous petals. Robin made a slight movement and looked over. Ah No introduction was needed, just a glance was enough for her to know that the woman in front of her was the Pirate Empress, the one that most people would dream of but would not dare to offend. Even with Robins current vision, she has to admit that the woman in front of her does indeed have the temperament in line with the name of the Pirate Empress. Are you the Ghost Hand Pirates? After breaking Robins doppelg?nger, Hancock didnt continue to fight against Robin, but stood there, asking in a slightly soft and proud voice. If Robin was a man, Im afraid she wouldnt even need to bother to say a word, but since its a woman, she wont be able to turn her into stone at first glance. Sixth Division Captain, Nico Robin. Robin looked at Hancock and examined the other side. She supported her chin with her finger and said, You looted the Charfields merchant ship. I think we should not be in the wrong here. Hancock expressions remained calm and she suddenly raised her had and said, I was very interested in their goods, so I took it over, did I made you angry? The first half of the sentence was normal, but in the second half of the sentence, she has already used the ability of the Mero Mero Fruit and coupled with her own charm, even Ross who is standing on the coast cant help shaking his head, his thoughts were almost hooked. Robin also had red cheeks and she immediately wanted to forgive the other party, but she immediately reacted and pressed down the discomfort in her heart. On the way, Ross talked about the Empress, saying that the charm of the Empress was strong, and coupled with the power of Mero Mero Fruit, it was a killer for men and women. She just smiling then as she didnt completely believe it. Now when she had confronted her herself, she knew that Ross was right and she was now getting a headache with an heartache and both were for different reasons. While she was figuring out what to do, Hancock spoke again, still uttering irresistible charm. Those goods are important to me can we not hold them? The second half of the sentence was said with a pitiful tone, and even with the light and dark character of Robin, she couldnt help it. Hancock charm power has an influence on anyone, plus her Haoshoku Haki, which can cause a sweeping effect under the double stack. If someones Will and Strength are below a certain range, they will not be able to show any resistance in front of her, and even if their Will and Strength is above, they still wont be able to exert all of their strength because of the initial impact. One must know. Even Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral stabbed himself in the leg to resist Hancocks power. Imagine if Hancock had stood on the top of the harbor during the war and unleashed her powers. If she had said, could you please stop beating me? Im so scared!, I am afraid it will sweep the audience immediately. CHAPTER 366 ROSS’S ATTITUDE Its fine if we dont pursue it. Robin took a deep breath and pressed down the restlessness in her heart and said calmly: As long as you give up the status of Seven Warlords of the Sea and lead the Amazon Lily Island to join us, the stolen goods are equivalent to internal consumption, so there would be no need Investigated. Hearing that the other party wanted her to give up the Shichibukais title and lead the Amazon Lily Island to surrender to Ghost Hand Pirates, it is naturally impossible to make such concessions with Hancocks personality. The title of Seven Warlords of the Sea, I like it very much, and I dont like to be obedient to others. Look at it this way, your ship suffered a weird accident, and all the members turned into stones Hancock spoke softly, still emitting her charms while looking weak. Under the ability of Mero Mero fruit, her charms are equivalent to a hidden attack. Robin coldly said: Do you think it is possible? Then dont blame me. Hancock lifted her chin slightly and suddenly turned into an afterimage. She rushed towards Robin and stretched her beautiful legs to draw a perfect arc in the air. Even if Robin had heightened her vigilance, when Hancock launched the attack, she could not help but look at the exquisite and fair skin at the base of Hancocks legs. Boom! It was this loss of mind that made Robin unable to attack and she could only wave her arm to resist the kick, and with a crosskick from Hancock, she was pushed away. Hancock didnt pause for a moment and continued to move forward, kicking continuously, the hem of the cheongsam fluttered with her side kicks, and from time to time, she exposed some captivating images. Boom! Boom! Boom! Under the influence of Hancocks charm and her attacks, Robin was forced to resist continuously. After blocking several attacks, she leaped backwards, folded her arms in front of her, and released her ability to deal with Hancock. But at this moment, Hancocks eyes flashed slightly, and a wave of Haoshoku Haki suddenly rushed out towards Robin. Ehh Under the influence of charm, her strength was greatly interfered with. Now, under the influence of Haoshoku Haki, Robins Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) ability suddenly failed. Apart from charm and Haoshoku, Robin at the moment is no less than Hancock in terms of body art and double-color Haki. There is not much difference between them. But add Charm and the dual influence of Haoshoku and the gap opens up. This is also the case where Robin is a woman herself and has followed Ross for years and seen all kinds of Haoshoku Haki. If not, a single charm or Haoshoku Haki influence can make a big enough difference. Bang! The fruit ability failed to launch, and Hancocks sidekick pushed Robin back. Although Robin had used Armament Haki on her arms, that Haki was also showing the signs of being scattered. If her Armament Haki is blown away by Hancock, the area hit by him will undoubtedly turn into stone fragments, which is extremely dangerous. Huu. Finding that she was not Hancocks opponent, Robin could not help exhaling. When she chatted with Ross before she came here, he had laughed and said that she could go and play with the Emperess of the Sea to see if she would be affected by her charms. It turned out that she was really attracted to her and she was clearly a woman Robin felt a pang of annoyance in her heart. Bang! At the very next instant, Hancock kicked off from the ground and continued to land a foot on Robins chest to completely defeat Robin. But just then the ground suddenly rolled over. Hua! A huge piece of earth was suddenly lifted up, like an earthquake, which made everyone on the scene unstable and shaken for a while. Hancocks kick kicked the tumbling rock and shattered it, but Robins figure had already receded to a safe distance. Hancocks eyes changed slightly, and she stared at the shore. There stood Ross with his hands behind his back, his eyes calmly looking at her. Robin was fighting her subordinates when she came here just now, and she focused all her attention on Robin while ignoring Ross on the shore. At this moment, she finally noticed Ross. It was obviously not Robins ability just now, and the perception of her Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki also told her the same thing. Being able to win against Robin, you are as strong as rumors made you out t be, you are fully qualified for the position of the Division Captain of the Totto Land Ghost Hand Pirates What do you think? Ross walked forward calmly. No momentum was revealed and he didnt even unleash his Haoshoku Haki, but as Ross walked step by step, the atmosphere in the field became suppressed. Hancocks eyes rarely reveal a trace of glimmer, leaving aside things like identity. In her perception, the man in front of her is, Very strong! Are you Ross ? Hancock asked Ross as he came over. There was no disgust in her tone, but there was a hint of inexplicability, which made Ross slightly wonder if his own charm had come back to affect Hancocks attitude.! Snake Princess, promise him. Elder Nyon came over with a snake stick from the back and said, If you join up with the Ghost Hand Pirates, even if you give the Shichibukais name, the government and Marines will not act lightly on the Amazon Lily Island. Looking at Ross who was standing at the same age as Hancock, Elder Nyon could not help but sigh. Hancock was already a rare Emperor of the Amazon Lily Island in a century in her eye, but Rosss existence still surpassed Hancock. At this age, this person standing in front of her is one of the Yonk (Four Emperors) and he had also dethroned Whitebeard and had taken the Strongest in The Sea title. On the strength of qualifications, Ross is undoubtedly the most dazzling existence of this era! As for Hancocks attitude towards Ross, she knew what was going on. Ross had killed some Tenryubito before. These incidents were widely popular and the news has even reached Amazon Lily Island. After Hancock got the newspaper, she lingered on it for a long time, and then she learned that one of Tenryubitos killed by Ross happened to be someone who had forced Hancock to eat the Mero Mero Devil Fruit. So far. Hancock only had a different attitude towards two people. One was Fisher Tiger, who saved her from a life of ??suffering, and the other was Ross, who directly killed the Tenryubito who had enslaved her. Hancock didnt speak. She seemed calm on the surface, but her heart was constantly rising and falling. Her attitude toward Ross is complicated. On the one hand, she is happy that Ross killed the Tenryubito and her hatred was vented. On the other hand, she does not want Ross to know about it, knowing that she was once a slave of Tenryubito. When it came to dealing with Ross, she didnt know what to do with him. Is he a Benefactor? Or the enemy? CHAPTER 367 TWIST THE MIND This king doesnt want to listen to other peoples ideas. Hancock finally spoke slowly. Regardless of Rosss attitude, she was reluctant to make acts such as surrender. She was proud and she could not live under anyone else. The title of Seven Warlords of the Sea can only be regarded as a cooperative relationship with the government. But the title of the Division Captain is different. This sentence was slowly spoken, with a hint of refreshing charm, making Ross faintly want to say you dont have to do it. But. Ross is so strong-willed that not many people in the world can compare with him. Naturally, he can resist Hancocks charm. However, the interference of this charm is real, and Ross frowned slightly. He was willing to appreciate the charm of the empress, but he was not willing to be affected by this charm. Silence. Ross put his fingers on Cursed Blade Murasame around his waist. The power of Soul-Soul Fruit was inspired and merged with the power of distortion, swimming through Rosss body and crushing all the restlessness in an instant. Then he looked at Hancock again and his eyes became calm, without any ripples in them. This is the result of Ross and Laffittes exchange and study of hypnosis and his combination of the power of distortion and Soul-Soul Fruit, resulting in a more soulful, or willful, ability. This ability. This ability can be called Distortion personality or Distortion mind. Its effect is to completely distort an emotion, lowering it to infinity and suppressing it, or to magnify it to infinity, leaving the opponent in a state of infinite anger or sadness. Naturally. This ability was recently researched by Ross and he is not very skilled. So far, it has only been tested on himself. Unfortunately. Ross put his fingers on the hilt of Cursed Blade Murasame, and said calmly, You only have two choices, one is to join actively and the other is to join passively. Hearing Rosss words, Hancocks eyes suddenly turned cold. Because she was once a slave of tenryubito, and later became the pirate empress, she did not accept this method of trying to force her. Naturally. Other methods will not be very good either. She belongs to a category of a self-centered person, and all of her judgments are based on herself. Snake princess, what are you hesitating about? Elder Nyon stood beside her and seeing the changes in the attitude of the two sides, she couldnt help but become anxious, and said to Hancock, You know who he is! In front of her is a Yonk (Four Emperors), Ghost Hand Ross, who defeated Whitebeard. He has now come to the Amazon Lily Island in person, if he is denied, the Amazon Lily Island will probably perish! However. Elder Nyons warning not only failed to have a positive effect but also stimulated Hancocks resistance as she said: Shut up for me! This King is the Emperor of the Amazon Lily Island! It looks like you are going to pick the second option. Ross looked at Hancock and said quietly. He is not a submissive character, and he would not be used by Hancock just because of her charm. It is extremely easy for this kind of woman to cause trouble. Ross is also considering that the other sides beauty and strength are pretty good, so he has the plan to attract them. But this solicitation also includes a premise, that is, complete submission! Whats the use of disobedience? It is absolutely impossible for this king to obey anyone. Hancock coldly said and expressed her attitude directly. Although Rosss overbearing character is not bad, but when it is applied to her, she wants to resist. Then, you can try to resist. Ross spoke quietly and took a step forward. Whiz! Almost instantly, Ross came directly to the front of Hancock, his speed was almost incredible. Even the Kuja Tribe Warriors present stared at Ross with vigilant and released their Observation Haki, but they could not make any response! Hancock barely caught Rosss movements, but she had no time to fight back. She could only cast Armament Haki and wave her arm. Boom! With one move, Hancocks figure flew backward. Snake Princess! Rosss sudden attack stunned everyone and the expressions of panic and teething were intertwined in countless people. Marigold and Sandersonia rushed forward immediately. No matter if he is Yonk (Four Emperors) or something, it is impossible for them to watch him her their sister! However. Ross had no intention of fighting Marigold or anyone else or even having him lift a finger. In the body like ordinary human beings, a rush of momentum soared away, and the black cloak shot up like a gust of wind. In an instant. The world seemed to have become silent! This Haoshoku Haki is far stronger than Hancock. With an unstoppable posture, it swept across in all directions. The female warriors of the Amazon Lily Island become stiff in place almost instantaneously and they began to fall to the ground. Even those Captains who can withstand Hancocks Haoshoku, under the Haoshoku of Ross, cant hold it, their eyes roll over and they fall to the ground. Ha Haoshoku Marigold and Sandersonia have barely kept their consciousness because they have followed Hancock all year round, but they are also shivering and sweat covered their body, they were unable to keep standing and they have to hold their arms to support their bodies. Looking at Ross figure, there was a deep horror and fear in their eyes. His Haoshoku Haki alone has made them lose their Battle ability, making it difficult for them to even move one finger. This is Yonk (Four Emperors), Ghost Hand Ross! Far away. Hancock, who was blown out by Ross in a single attack made a perfect turn in the air and managed to barely land smoothly and as she landed she was oppressed by Rosss Haoshoku. The Haoshoku in her body was oppressed, and immediately broke out to confront Rosss Haoshoku in the air, and instantly darkened the whole world. Creak. There was another person who had not fainted, Elder Nyon, but she was also holding the snake stick to just stand. Under the Haoshoku, the bones of the aging body creaked as if they were about to be crushed by oppression. Snake Princess She looked hard at Hancock. As the role of News Information, she is very clear that Hancock definitely cannot resist Rosss strength. What kind of confrontation will there be then! However. Hancock doesnt care about Elder Nyon. Although her Haoshoku Haki is weaker than Ross, after all, she has Haoshoku Haki and she is not affected by Rosss Haki. CHAPTER 368 MILD EMPRESS However, she noticed that Ross Haoshoku Haki was far stronger than hers and Hancocks eyes still flashed with inexplicable light. The wind gale howled centered on Ross and Hancock, swinging in all directions. In the conflict of Haoshoku Haki, Ross took a slow step and just walked towards Hancock, looking calm without feeling any pressure. However, Hancock faced Ross coming to her and the pressure on her was increasing little by little. Under such pressure, she finally could not stand up to Ross and tried to fight him. Slave Arrow! A pink peach heart emerged from her and her finger pulled the peach heart. The peach heart bounced like a bow and arrow, and countless pink arrows swept towards Ross. However, faced with Hancocks trick, Ross broke the pink arrows with just a wave of his hand. Armament Haki Hancocks pupils contracted, judging by Rosss strength, he is naturally able to broke her Slave Arrows with his Armament Haki and the Armament Haki just revealed by Ross is no doubt stronger than hers! This gap is like when she first learned Haki, facing the senior who taught her Armament Haki. This was a gap between a Master and a Novice A giant gap! But. Even though Ross showed her outrageous strength, she still didnt intend to give in, and sweat-stained her forehead and bit her silver teeth lightly. She didnt believe her charm could do nothing to Ross! Mero Mero Mellow(Falling-Down Drunk Sweet Wind)! Faced with Rosss figure which was getting closer and closer, Hancock made a peach heart with her fingers, inspiring the most fundamental ability of her Devil Fruit. As long as the enemy is affected by her charm, they will directly change into stones, unless their whole body is covered with Armament Haki. But. What makes Hancock feel incredible is that Ross faced her Mero Mero Mellow attack without any evasion and he walked directly over this wave of attacks and withstood it. Mero Mero Mellows pink light passed through Ross body, but it did not cause any impact on him. This is an almost unbelievable scene for Hancock! After eating the Mero Mero Fruit and escaping from Holy Land Mariejois, her charm has continued to increase with time. She has not met anyone who is completely resistant to her charms, let alone a man, even a woman cannot resist it. But in front of Ross, he completely disregards her charms and attacks. This attack was not blocked by Armament Haki, nor was it avoided, but it was directly ignored! No one has been able to do this. It means that the man in front of her wasnt affected by her at all! Shocked, Hancock even began to doubt her charms, Ross was normal and he is a man but her charm had no effect on Ross at all, which was a bit incredible! Is this all you can do? Ross stepped in front of Hancock and looked at her flatly. He naturally wouldnt explain to Hancock that he used the ability of Distortion to temporarily change his character into a disliked woman state. You Hancock looked at Ross and stumbled a little. There was a great panic and a fear in her heart. Her mood was completely disturbed by something that was totally unexpected to her. Ross looked at Hancocks appearance and judged Hancocks current state of mind, which is naturally the most fragile state of her will. Huh! The next moment, Ross pulled out the Cursed Blade Murasame. The power of distortion was used with the power of Soul-Soul Fruit, the two forces blended together and converged on the sword edge, and turn into a strange light. Distortion. In the interweaving of light, Ross quietly said aloud, and the blade in his hand suddenly pierced Hancock as she was too late to escape! Snake Princess! Sister! Elder Nyon and Sandersonia, among others, almost exclaimed when they saw this scene, their faces were full of horror. Hancock also stood there stingingly, looking down at the blade that penetrated her chest. Strangely, she didnt feel any pain. The blade penetrated Hancocks body, but the situation was weird as it did not spill any blood, as if it was not the body but the mind that had been pierced. Uh The original chaotic mind became completely disordered at the moment when Ross power of distortion poured in and was no longer under Hancocks own control. This is also the first time that Ross has applied his character change distortion ability to others and after the force had worked, he was a little hesitant to go in the right direction. After a few seconds of hesitation. Ross starts and ends the power again, then pulls out the blade. The blade was pulled from Hancocks chest, leaving no wound, not even her clothes were broken as if the blade had been an illusion. Now, whats your choice? After Ross pulled out the blade, he dissipated the power of distortion, and the cold sword edge was placed on Hancocks white tender neck again, letting her return from the trance. Because this is the first time he had used this ability, Ross did not make any big moves and he just suppressed out the superficial character of Hancock narcissism and willfulness. He didnt know what would happen to Hancock. Detecting the cold sword edge on her neck, Hancock didnt show any fearful expression but instead gritted her teeth slightly. This King needs some time to consider. Hancock finally said this. The domineering pride in her heart made it impossible for her to give in, but apart from narcissism and willfulness, she would not take the act of pulling all the people of the Amazon Lily island together with her. And Ross ignored her charm and influence, giving her a shock that still hasnt gone away. Silence. Rosss Haoshoku Haki receded like a tide. He looked at Hancock, lifted the blade and took it off Hancocks neck, put it into the scabbard, and stared at Hancock thoughtfully. He had no mind-reading skills, but the extreme Observation Haki allowed him to roughly capture Hancocks inner mood. He was also curious about his ability. When Ross stared at her in this way, Hancock felt a surge of discomfort in her heart. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and she turned and said, Dont stare at this king so rudely. It was okay for her not to speak but when she did speak, Ross was slightly stunned for a moment and stared at her with a gaze of interest. What is this? Is she being Proud or is she being a Tsundere? !! His new ability does not completely erase the personality of others but can cause enlargement and weakening of some definite traits. After weakening of her extreme willfulness and extreme narcissism traits, he has now formed this Empress? CHAPTER 369 WORLD SHOCK A few days later. Inside a hidden cave somewhere in the mountains behind the Amazon Lily Island. I didnt expect that there would really be a Poneglyph. Ross stood inside the cave, which was supposed to be extremely dark, but Ross used Distortion to change the light from the entrance to the cave, making the whole cave as bright as day. Bringing Robin to find the Poneglyph stele was just a way for him get her to come with him because in his memory, the Amazon Lily Island did not have such things as the Poneglyph stele, but after searching the Amazon Lily Island carefully, he did not expect to really find one here. What is the history of the Amazon Lily Island Robin came to the Stone Poneglyph and looked at it. This is an ordinary Poneglyph. One which has history of the Amazon Lily Island, it is not an intelligence Poneglyph or a Road Poneglyph. But. Even if it is an ordinary Poneglyph, Robin still studied it in detail. In the past few days, in addition to finding the Poneglyph stele, Hancock also finally chose to lead the Amazon Lily Island under the control of Totto Land. When it comes to attachment, it is actually just hanging a Ghost Hand Pirates banner on the island. Just like todays Fishman Island and the Dressrosa Kingdom, these two countries are under the banner of Ghost Hand Pirates and are listed under the Totto Land. At first, Ross thought about whether to get Hancock to Totto Land, but after thinking about it, it was better to let her remain on the Amazon Lily Island, so as not create a lot of trouble. After half a month. The Pirate Empress, one of Seven Warlords of the Sea, openly canceled the Shichibukai contract with the World Government and invested in the Ghost Hand Pirates. The news came and the world shook! No one expected that the lonely Empress would be conquered. However, Ghost Hand Ross, who stands in the strongest position in the world, does have this qualification. Countless people who have dreams of chasing the Empress, after being informed of the news, couldnt help sighing, and quickly gave up their unrealistic dreams. So far, there have been four Seven Warlords of the Sea accidents under Ross. In addition to Crocodile, Gekko Moria, and Doflamingo, the Empress Pirate also has an accident. What angered the World Government is that the Empress was not destroyed by Ross, but she gave up her Shichibukai status and joined the Ghost Hand Pirates! Basterds! Within the power of the World Government, a Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) couldnt help but curse. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) next to him blinked and said: Pirates are unreliable. When giving her Shichibukai status, we should have considered the current situation in advance. Should we destroy the Amazon Lily Island? A Gorsei suggested angrily. It would have been fine if Ross had destroyed the Amazon Lily Island but such a flagrant betrayal would undoubtedly be a great blow to the majesty of the World Government. If this kind of thing happens more often, many people will think that the World Government is not as powerful as the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Ghost Hand Pirates is more terrifying than the World Government. This idea is extremely dangerous. And. When the Pirate Empress joined Shichibukai, Vegapunk had not yet developed the kind of Battleship that could cross the Calm Belt. It is because of their helplessness of the Amazon Lily Island hiding in the Calm Belt that it was decided to make the other party a Shichibukai and the location of the Island was a very important factor in that decision. Now, with the Battleship that Vegapunk researched that can easily cross the Calm Belt, there is not much danger even if their forces enter the Calm Belt. The natural barrier of the Amazon Lily Island no longer exists. No. That Ghost Hand guy is not a stupid beast. Since the Pirate Empress had joined him, he must have predicted our next move. The Gorsei holding a sword stood there and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. The next person heard his words and said, Yes, maybe Ghost Hand Ross is now on the Amazon Lily Island and if we hastily dispatched troops to fight against him, we will suffer great losses. After some deliberations, there was no final conclusion. The matter was shelved by the World Government. After the Amazon Lily Island was listed as one of the affiliates powers of the Totto Land, Ross spent another week in the Amazon Lily Island and had an in-depth exchange with the female emperor Hancock on the future development direction and progress plan of the Amazon Lily Island and he also comprehensively explained the sustainable development methods. Ross spoke highly of Hancocks role The contribution of the Amazon Lily Island confirms that Amazon Lily Island has independent autonomy. The planning and governance are still decided by the female emperor alone. In addition, when Totto Land is threatened, Amazon Lily Island needs to send troops to help. A week later. Ross left the Amazon Lily Island by his ship, Hancock personally went to the dock to see him off, with a little red color on her cheeks, and the sea breeze revealed her legs. A sailing ship is slowly sailing on the sea. Robin, holding a newspaper she just bought from Newsbird, came to Ross, who was sitting on the deck, and said: 500 Million Berries, the government seems to be really angry. The newspaper published the news that the female Empress had unilaterally renounced the Shichibukai status and has become one of the subsidiary states of Totto Land. The World Government put out a bounty of 500 Million Berries to the Female Empress! The strength of the Empress is not weak. The reward of 500 Million Berries is not low, but it is not high either. Its okay. Ross took a look at the newspaper and laughed, Its best to irritate those five old things, World Government is in chaos, and the guy behind the scenes should jump out soon. Robin hesitated a moment and said, Isnt it a bit rash for you to let the Empress publicly renounce Shichibukai treaty and join the Ghost Hand Pirates. Now the other Yonko will keep a great vigilance against us, as will the World Government and Marines. Ghost Hand Pirates are huge. After defeating the Whitebeard Pirates, they are already ranked first in Yonk (Four Emperors). It is also because the Ghost Hand Pirates are too powerful. The Germa 66 joined them and now the Female Pirate Emperor joined with them, whether it is Marines or the World Government, or other Yonk (Four Emperors), they will maintain a great vigilance against the Ghost Hand Pirates. Just think. It is normal for the Four Emperors with a small strength gap to maintain a distance and balance with each other, but if the strength of one of the pirate groups is getting larger and larger, and gradually open a big gap with the other pirate groups, then this balance will be gradually broken. With the intelligence capabilities of the World Government, they will find out about the Empress sooner or later. Ross calmly said: Instead of having the World Government take the initiative to announce the withdrawal of Hancocks Shichibukai position and send troops to besiege the Amazon Lily Island, it is better for Hancock to give it up first. Totto Land is not afraid of anyone now because neither Whitebeard nor Akagami (Red Hair) will take the initiative to attack it and Marines and the government are the same. By making such big news, it is easier to attract strong people around the world who are willing to submit, forming a virtuous circle. Hearing Rosss explanation, Robin looked thoughtful. Clearing the table, Robin said with a quizzical chuckle, Hancock Since when do you call the Empress by her first name? A more intimate title will help to bring Totto Land and the Amazon Lily Island closer together in harmony, Ross says. Robin smiled and tried to say something, but Ross suddenly reached out and pulled. Caught off guard, she lost her footing and fell into Rosss arms. It doesnt matter who I call by name directly. Its only you who can call my name directly. Ross looked at Robin and said. Robin wasnt struggling and she looked at Ross with a smile, her eyes were bright, and her smooth black hair fluttered gently with the sea breeze. Rosss heart stirred and he looked down. CHAPTER 370 HURRICANE Time has crossed and the Great Age of Pirates has been going on for nineteen years and entered the twentieth-year. It is less than two years before the time when Luffy went to sea in the original work. After returning to Totto Land for a month, Rosss will is almost restored, and Cursed Blade Murasame has also adapted to the situation of bearing one soul incarnation and can make the second soul incarnation. Whether the soul incarnation can eat Devil Fruit or not is the main question now. Before producing the second soul incarnation, Ross convened Trafalgar Law and Caesar to discuss this issue. In recent decades, Soul-Soul Fruit has been held in the hands of BIGMOM, and it was not until her death that it fell into Ross hands. Whether Trafalgar Law or Caesar, they dont have any specific understanding of soul incarnation. But. The soul incarnation produced by Ross before can replace the personality and soul of others in the form of Personality Transplant Surgery, which is the basis of their judgment. Caesar pondered: Since the power of the Devil Fruit can be integrated into the weapon, the integration of soul incarnation should not be a problem. I dont think so. Trafalgar Law shook his head and said, Its not that simple. The incarnation of Lord Rosss soul is not strictly a specific material, and it has no form itself. Caesar countered: But soul incarnation can fuse imaginary flames and thunder, and directly make Homies. It should be easier to fuse with Devil Fruit. Caesar also knows about Homies, after all, Ross made a bunch of Homies in the base when he experimented. Even so. Trafalgar Law turned his head and said, But how can you be sure that the produced Homies will not be a talking Devil Fruit and not the actual element? This Caesar froze. There is no doubt that Ross wanted a Hurricane Homie and not a talking Devil Fruit with eyes and mouth. If the actual Devil Fruit doesnt work, I can try to extract the power of Devil Fruit Caesar said to Ross. Ross said: Like eating a Devil Fruit? Yes. Caesar nodded and said: But there are some differences. The way is to extract the liquid energy of a Devil Fruit. What you need may be something more abstract, which is more difficult, but it is not impossible. Ross touched his chin and thought: Then I will try to let the soul incarnation eat the Hurricane Fruit directly, if that doesnt work, then we will use your way. Ross can give life to the dead and make it into Homies, and he can also extract the soul from the dead, so he is not worried that the soul incarnation will be wasted after it is combined with the Devil Fruit. Besides. It does not matter if the soul incarnation is destroyed. Cursed Blade Murasame is capable of producing countless soul incarnations, but it can only afford the existence of about six soul incarnations. A simple explanation is that a fruit tree can produce hundreds or thousands of fruits in decades, but it does not mean that it can bear thousands of fruits at the same time. Only five to six soul incarnations can exist at a time. This is the current limit of Cursed Blade Murasame, unless its strength is increased. After the decision was made, Ross no longer hesitated. He pulled out the Soul Cutting Blade or the Cursed Blade Murasame, and his will condensed on the sword edge of the Cursed Blade Murasame and the power of Soul-Soul Fruit was condensed. This is the first tie that Caesar and Trafalgar Law had the chance to observe the abilities of the Soul-Soul Fruit up close and both of them were staring at Rosss blade intently. One second two seconds three seconds Rosss cohesive will is getting stronger and stronger, and a weird substance emerges from the blade, constantly writhing as if to drip from the blade. Just when the squirming mass reached its limit, Ross waved the sword, and an invisible sword light flashed, throwing the mass out. Slap! The creeping thing fell to the corner, and grumbled and rolled, turning into a strange dark light slime. Law had seen the soul incarnation once before, and he has also helped in making the first Incarnation so he was not surprised for long and his expression becomes flat. Caesar had a great interest in this Slime, but he knew that this was Rosss soul incarnation, and he was naturally afraid to put forward a request for research. Call. After making the second soul incarnation, Ross exhaled. The first soul incarnation was an immature work. As for the second soul incarnation, because he already has a certain experience, he deliberately raised it to the limit and only launched the ability of Soul-Soul Fruit and cut it out. This soul incarnation is at least 30% more powerful than the previous soul incarnation. It brings a heavy burden on Cursed Blade Murasame, but it is also placed by Ross with high hopes. Ross even wants a Homies that floats next to him at times like Prometheus and Zeus, and it would be best if it is several times stronger than these two. After exhaling a bit, Ross took out the Hurricane Fruit from his pocket. This Devil Fruit is similar to other Logias Devil Fruit, but the color is cyan, and the pattern on it is a rotating hurricane pattern. Raising his hand. The Hurricane Fruit crossed an arc in the air as it was thrown to the slime-like soul incarnation and finally fell into its mouth precisely. The soul incarnation made a swallowing movement. Ross looked on expectantly. But after the soul incarnation swallowed that Devil Fruit, its body suddenly froze, then it began to shrink rapidly to the center and was finally sucked into the inside of the hurricane fruit. Finally, the eyes and mouth appeared. Boss. The surviving hurricane fruit bounced at Ross. Ross: The last thing he wanted was to see this. But Ross still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and said to the Hurricane Fruit, Can you use the Hurricane Abilities? It seems, no. The hurricane fruit jumped twice and replied to Ross. Ross: The hilarious scene makes both Trafalgar Law and Caesar want to laugh, but neither dares to and holds back. Ross sighed and he waved the blade in his hand, and cut it out towards the hurricane fruit. The Hurricane Fruit shuddered and the eyes and mouth disappeared, and a weird mass wriggled out of it, turning into the image of Slime again. Ross walked over and picked up the Hurricane Fruit and looked at Caesar, saying: Lets go, we will try your method. Yes. Caesar nodded and took over the Hurricane Fruit and walked towards his laboratory. Chapter 371 Hurricane incarnation In the laboratory. In front of a delicate instrument. Caesar put the Hurricane Fruit in and started the machine. After a ding sound, the Hurricane fruit turned into countless pieces and was poured into a beaker. Caesar, who was already prepared, took the beaker to the test bench and carefully took a sealed test tube from the test bench and poured out the purple liquid in it. Zizi! The purple liquid was poured into the beaker, and a noisy sound was immediately heard. Caesar didnt hesitate as he immediately picked up another object containing the green viscous liquid and he poured it into the beaker and sealed the beaker. Zizi! The inside of the beaker seemed to boil, and it started to crackle. After a while, Caesar opened the beaker, and the contents of the beaker had turned into a thick black liquid and countless debris. Caesar carefully fetched a piece of cotton gauze. It is said that the cotton gauze is actually made of Seastone. This is a filter screen that is divided into extremely thin silk threads and reorganized. It belongs to one of the most precious instruments and he brought it from the Scientific Force Base. After filtering through the Seastone gauze, all the debris is filtered out, and the rest is a thick black liquid. Caesar dripped a few more strange things in it and then the liquid began to grunt, and countless gases evaporated and dissipated in the air. Finally. Half a cup of cyan liquid appeared in the beaker. It is a beaker, in fact, the beaker is also made of Seastone as the liquid in it is in a state that can be fused with any matter. This liquid Devil Fruit can be fused with any matter, but it will not be fused with Seastone, so only Seastone can be used to hold it. Caesar lifted the beaker with pliers and placed it on the central test bench. All right. Ross, who had watched the production of Caesar this time, had an understanding look on his face, knowing that his chemistry teacher from his previous life would not even be able to hold a candle to Ceasar. Without hesitation, as soon as Ross waved his hand, the slime-like soul incarnation squirmed over and swallowed that strange liquid. Buzz !! This time is completely different from before. When the strange liquid merged with Rosss soul incarnation, it immediately changed from a thick cyan liquid to a small group of rotating hurricanes. The soul incarnation slime shrank madly, rushing into the hurricane quickly, and the hurricane became bigger and bigger, and eventually reached the size of a basketball. Splashy! As the hurricane got bigger, a strong wind also rolled in the laboratory, just like a tornado, causing countless experimental equipment around to shake swiftly. It seems to be working, eh. There was a smile on Caesars face, but before he could smile any further, the wind suddenly increased sharply, and everything in the laboratory instantly flew up and rotated around it. Even Caesar himself couldnt get rid of the impact of the hurricane. He was blown into a mass of gas by the wind, and he began to twist into the center while spinning. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Caesar screamed and struggled desperately, but what was terrifying was that, with his strength, he couldnt get rid of the wind of that hurricane! After getting dizzy by the tornado, when he was almost unable to support himself, Ross yanked and caught a mass of gas, pulling him out of the hurricane. Ma Master Ross Caesar looked at the messy lab with tears. Ross smiled as he stared at the hurricane, he didnt look at Caesars expression and didnt look back: You can have someone rebuild it later. Whatever resources you need, you can ask for them from Law, After hearing this, Caesar finally wiped his tears. At this time, the rotating hurricane was finally getting smaller. Eventually, a ball of tiny Dragon tornadoes appeared in the air with eyes and mouth, looking at Ross. Boss. Ross has a subtle connection with the soul incarnation, and he can vaguely perceive how huge a force this seemingly miniature hurricane possesses! This is not Homies made with ordinary hurricanes in nature, but Hurricane incarnation made with Logias Hurricane Devil Fruit! One must know. The Hurricane fruit can be eaten by anyone, and it can create a powerful existence. This is a Logia Devil Fruit that is not inferior to Ice and Fire! Lets go. Ross beckoned the Hurricane Incarnation and walked out of the laboratory. The Hurricane Incarnation immediately followed, flying around Rosss head. Reiju came forward. She heard the movement and thought that something had happened, and hurried over. Watching Reiju rushing over, Rosss mind was surging for some playing, and he flicked a little towards the hurricane in rotation around him. Hoo! A gust of wind came out in an instant, blowing from the bottom up. Reiju didnt expect that there would be a wind in the base. Suddenly, her clothes were blown. Just when she screamed and subconsciously stretched out her hand to press, her clothes couldnt support because of the strong wind and were torn down by the wind. Er Ross paused. Breaking clothes was not what he had expected. The wind was a bit too strong! Reiju covered her body with her arms and the transfiguration device hanging around her waist was activated by her. The thick liquid surged and instantly wrapped around her body, turning it into a Battlesuit, blocking the wonderful sight. After all this was done, she looked at Ross, and asked weirdly, Master Ross, what is this ? Uh. Ross turned to look at Hurricane incarnation, and yelled, Look at what you did! The Hurricane incarnation looked aggrieved, But you ordered me to do it. Ross: He grabbed the Hurricane incarnation and put it between his hands. Reiju was still staring at him, she smiled with a playful expression and said: If Lord Ross has any opinion on my clothes, just tell me, why use this method? I cant resist your orders anyway. If Reiju had dared to whisper such things in his ear, Ross would have given her a taste of what it means to be powerless, and now Ross dragged the hurricane incarnation, as if twisting his ears, and took a step forward, the whole person disappeared out of thin air and left the base directly. Seeing Ross disappear, Reiju shook her head slightly. She cant help blushing at the scene when her clothes were torn up in a flash just before she was caught off guard. Although she has underwear and Ross hasnt seen anything, she does feel a little embarrassed. The Hurricane incarnation came to the outside world and Ross directly took him to a height of five kilometers, this location is in the middle of the Sky Island Birka and the Cake island. He let his hand loose and threw out Hurricane incarnation. Boss The Hurricane incarnation shuddered. Ross snorted and coldly said, Come on, show me what you can do. Show me your power. CHAPTER 372 2 MOVES The Hurricane Incarnation looked at Ross timidly, but it couldnt disobey Rosss order. After a while of grievance and fear, it forced its courage and closed his eyes and shouted. Gale force! As it yelled out, it was originally the size of a head and it began to swell in an instant, reaching a width of several meters in an instant, and it continued to expand, gradually becoming thicker and longer. At the same time, a strong wind screamed, blowing wildly towards Ross. If an ordinary person had been in Rosss position, they would have been blown away like a leaf in a storm in an instant, even Ross is forced to use his power of distortion to stay in the air and he is barely able to stabilize his body. What a trick. Rosss mouth cant help but twitch as he resisted the strong wind from Hurricane incarnation. He cant understand the names of these moves. The Hurricane Incarnation was still screaming with closed eyes and a gust of wind swept open in all directions and the white clouds that were blowing thousands of meters away were cleared. This is purely a violent and powerful outflow of power and there arent any tricks or moves. Sure enough, he cant expect the Hurricane Incarnation to have any Battle skills. Ross rubbed his eyebrows. He gave up the idea of ??fighting against the Hurricane Incarnation, he covered his body with the power of distortion and walked towards the Hurricane Incarnation against the violent wind, and his hand grabbed its body. The power is too scattered! Ross retorted after pulling the Hurricane Incarnation, the power of Hurricane Incarnation gathered all over his right hand and wrapped around his right arm. With Rosss thoughts, the violent hurricane began to shrink madly and the huge hurricane the size of tens of meters was instantly reduced to the size of a ball. Immediately. Rosss eyes flashed and his hand caught the ball-sized hurricane and turned it into a cyan ball that was rotating in his palm. This is not the normal Hurricane Incarnation, but the power of the Hurricane Incarnation that has completely erupted and it was all condensed into such a small ball. Whiz! Rosss figure flickered a few times as he reached thousands of meters away and he threw the ball in his hand at the surface below. The ball spins and flies towards the sea. At the moment it came in contact with the sea, the violent wind pressure inside the ball exploded and it swept madly in all directions. In a moment, a terrifying storm covered an area of ??tens of meters. The water in this area was cut into countless imperceptible fragments in an instant. The fish in the water did not even spill a drop of blood, and they were completely strangled without a trace, just like a spiral sword. Thats the normal power. Ross looked at the scene and nodded slightly. This kind of power is not necessarily inferior to Kizarus Eight Shaku Curved Jewel (Yasakani no Magatama) and under his control, it would not be difficult for him to fight against Kaido. After the outbreak, the wind pressure gradually disappeared, and a small Dragon tornado appeared in the center of it. It was the Hurricane Incarnation, and it looked at Ross aggrievedly. Boss Ross originally expected Homies made by his soul incarnation to be funny. The fact of however is that it does not depend on the body, but only on the illusory structure. There is almost no such thing as memory and thinking. Compared to the Homie Asura made from Katakuris body, this Hurricane Incarnation can be said to be stupid. Can that move be released independently? Ross shook his head and stared at Hurricane incarnation as he asked this. Hurricane incarnation asked blankly: Which move? Ross almost forgot that this Hurricane Incarnation has no memory and it only has a simple thinking ability. At this moment, he had black lines on his head. It seems that it is a little difficult to want Hurricane Incarnation to fight independently. After sighing in his heart, Ross calmed down. If it could not fight independently, it could always follow him. He can use the power of Hurricane Incarnation to attack at any time, and the conflict between the forces of the power of distortion and hurricane is not great. With the assistance of Hurricane Incarnation, even if he meets both BIGMOM and Kaido at the same time, he would be able to take care of them. Woohoo! Ross pulled the Hurricane Incarnation again. Anyway, the simplest method is to force this attack into its consciousness. The Hurricane Incarnation was dragged by Ross and under Ross control, it swelled up again and turned into a huge Dragon tornado, and then contracted again into a wind ball. This trick will be called Hurricane Annihilation! Ross threw the wind ball to the sea again. Bang! A big fish that was more than ten meters in length happened to pass by. Under Hurricane Annihilation, the fish scales were stripped off by Annihilation in an instant, as if weathered, then flesh and internal organs were cut apart. This process happened in a blink of an eye, and the whole fish disappeared out of thin air. After training for many times in a row, the Hurricane Incarnation finally memorized the trick by force and was able to launch it by itself without Rosss help. Ross also does not expect Hurricane Incarnation to remember many tricks, his main focus while training it is to develop the Hurricane Power. Hurricane Annihilation is a small-scale or near-monolithic explosive attack. Even Hundred Beast Kaido cannot ignore this attack. Its power is not worse than Akainus Meig (Hellhound), or Dai Funka (Great Eruption) and the like. Now with a small scale attack. It also needs a large-scale group attack. Hurricane The Hurricane Incarnation was dozens of meters away from Ross, it closed its eyes as it yelled while waving a small wire-shaped arm, its body suddenly expanded and then compressed again, turning into a wind ball and it hit itself on the sea surface. As it continued to erupt, the surrounding air gradually became extremely humid. This was because of the Hurricane Annihilation, which caused a large amount of seawater to be twisted into a mist. All right. Ross stopped the Hurricane Incarnation. Coming towards the Hurricane Incarnation, he once again pulled the body of Hurricane Incarnation and controlled the power of hurricane inside it and his figure flashed into the air hundreds of meters away. Buzz !! The Hurricane Incarnation swelled and turned into a huge wind pressure visible to the naked eye. When Ross thought about it, the wind pressure suddenly sent out countless minute wind blades that were almost invisible to the naked eye and flew towards the sea. Si! Si! Si! Si! Si! Si! Wherever the wind blade went, the sea was cut and shattered in an instant, it was like there was countless swordsmen in the sky, wielding their swords and attacking the sea. In this short moment, hundreds of slashes were sent out! Compared with Kizarus Eight Shaku Curved Jewel (Yasakani no Magatama), although the wind blades created by this trick will not explode, each wind blade is created with extremely strong wind pressure and has a strong cutting force, which is not inferior to that of an ordinary swordsman. I dont know how it compares to Kizarus Eight Shaku Curved Jewel (Yasakani no Magatama). Ross looked at the fragmented sea cut by the successive wind blades below, and stroked his chin to think. Chapter 373 Princess Vivi It is difficult to fight against two Marine Admirals at the same time. Especially this generation of Marine Admirals as all of them are Logia users and once they cooperate with each other, although their Battle force will not be doubled but their cooperation will increase their power. For example, Aokiji can fully release Ice Age and Hundred Beast Kaido and other Yonk (Four Emperors) can rely on Armament Haki to resist this attack but the speed at which they can utilize Haki will be affected. In this case, if Kizaru came and attacked them. Even Hundred Beast Kaido would not be defeated and he cannot be killed, it would also be impossible for Kaido to do anything and he would be completely suppressed. Relatively. The current Ross, due to the special nature of the power of distortion, can use Distortion space to ignore the attacks of Kizaru Aokiji and others, but in this way, Ross also does not occupy any advantage. But now with this Hurricane Incarnation, things are quite different. The Hurricane Incarnation is the wind in itself and because there is no physical restraint on it, the power of hurricane contained in it is almost endless. There is no concept for it to become exhausted! And as long as Ross does not die, it will also not die no matter what kind of attack it faces, they will not have any effect on it. This is the terrifying ability of the Hurricane Incarnation. What is a three-day, three-night battle, even a ten-days, ten-nights battle would be nothing for the Hurricane Incarnation. As long as Ross is willing, the Hurricane Incarnation can fly over the Marine Headquarters and blow up the Marine Headquarters for ten years in a row. This trick will be called Multiple Wind Blades. Ross doesnt even bother to name these attacks with some complex sentences like Eight Shaku Curved Jewel (Yasakani no Magatama), he just named it Multiple Wind Blades, simple and clear. After a few seconds. The Hurricane Incarnation returned to a small Dragon tornado. For the Hurricane Incarnation, this is an extremely powerful large-scale attack that cannot be used continuously, but after it is released once, it only needs to wait ten seconds before it can be released immediately, and there is no concept of fatigue and it can release these attacks in an unlimited Cycle. Now the Hurricane Incarnation has a single-area attack and a large-scale attack, so what it is lacking is a long-range attack. The Hurricane Annihilation must be released quickly after the Wind Ball has been formed. It cannot be delayed, and it cannot fly far enough to form a long-range attack. As for the Multiple Wind Blades, although the flight distance is far enough, the damage and power will decrease with the distance, and it is not a single burst attack. Buzz !! Ross pulled the Hurricane Incarnation. Under his control, the force of the hurricane gathered wildly, gradually emitting a bright light and turned into a cyan silk thread, held by Ross in his hands. When the power of the hurricane condensed to the limit, Ross grasped the silk thread and swept it at the sea. Sii! The thread passed by. The undulating sea suddenly became strangely silent, as if time was fixed here, and the waves of the entire sea stopped. And in the next moment. The sea directly in front of Ross was divided into two by a violent power and creating an abyss that stretches all the way to the end of the line of sight!! This attack will be called Mist Blade. Rosss nodded satisfaction. The three attacks he simply developed are all perfect applications of the power of the hurricane without much loss. After creating the three attacks namely Annihilation, Multiple Wind Blades, and Mist Blade, the next time step is to train the Hurricane Incarnation in them. Letting Hurricane incarnation remember three tricks at the same time is like asking Ross to recite three different English words at the same time. It is like pronouncing one thing while forgetting the other. Fortunately, Ross has a strong character. During the Hurricane Incarnation training, he was also practicing, but he just continued to practice what he does daily. After spending almost three months, Hurricane Incarnations simple thinking process finally remembered these three attacks and it was able to be released them without relying on Ross. Also. Ross also experimented with the fusion of hurricane power and the power of distortion to develop a higher-level version of Hurricane Annihilation. With the power of distortion as the core, the force of the hurricane surrounds it, and the center is filled with white light, while the outer ring is the hurricane blade that rotates constantly, like a fan. It looks a bit like a Rasenshuriken, in fact it is a Rasenshuriken. But. Compared to the Rasenshuriken, the power of this attack is even greater. If it breaks out, the area of ??a hundred meters will be shrouded in it and nothing will remain. Alabasta. This is the forefront of the first half of the Grand Line. Since Crocodile was killed by Ross, Alabasta has remained safe until now. But this safe and sound thing is only relatively speaking concept. In fact, this is a country on the Grand Line and there is no such thing as a completely safe thing. Not far from the coast. A Pirate Ship is docking here. On the deck of the Pirate Ship, a girl with sky-blue hair, about 14 or 15 years old, was tied to a mast by a rope and a white cloth was stuffed in her mouth. Woohoo! The girl was naturally unwilling to be tied up and constantly twisted her body, but no matter how she struggled, it was difficult for her to escape. A Pirate, sitting on the deck, glanced at the girl while smoking a cigarette, and grinned, Save your energy, we wont hurt you you are a precious hostage worth a Billion Berries! But, can such a poor country really take out a Billion Berries? A pirate came over, carrying a bottle of wine, and shouted. One of them narrowed his eyes and said, It is a kingdom. How could it not have a Billion Berries, but it really was so easy to catch a Princess. The legendary Grand Line is not so good! The girl tied to the mast is the Princess of Alabasta, Nefartari Vivi! These pirates are the overlords of West Blue. Soon after entering the Grand Line, they decided to do something big when they came to Alabasta. They originally intended to sneak into the palace but they were discovered by the guards so they ended up kidnapping the Princess. Dont count your chickens before they hatch. Alabasta is a country affiliated with the World Government. Marine will come at any time, An elderly pirate with a scar on his face said. So, they just have to give us the ransom in one day and if they dont pay the ransom, they cant blame us for this delicate Princess. A pirate took the conversation while holding a short knife in his hand and made two double strokes towards the princess tied to the mast, making Vivis body tremble lightly. One Billion Berries! Alabasta is not rich and they also have to pay the Heavenly Tribute every year. As the Princess of Alabasta, she knows how much of a burden the ransom will impose on Alabasta and her bound little hands clenched into fist. But as she continued to blame herself, she suddenly glanced at the sky in the distance and her expression froze. In that direction. A white cloud flew over here and there was a shadow on it. What is that? CHAPTER 374 ACTING Is Alabasta ahead? On the white cloud, Ross is sitting there with Robin sitting next to him and he is looking at the island in front of him, asking with his hand on his chin. Not so long ago. Kaku and others of the Sixth Division intelligence unit discovered that the new CP9 members dispatched secretly by the World Government were searching for the Ancient Weapon Pluton blueprints. At first glance, it seems that Plutons design plan really exists. If Ancient Weapon Pluton is obtained by the World Government, it will inevitably have a great impact. Kaku and others soon reported this situation to Ross. Ross naturally knew where Plutons blueprints were but he wasnt interested in the blueprints because he wanted to find the main body of the Ancient Weapon Pluton. After thinking about it. Ross decided to come to Alabasta to find out Ancient Weapon Pluton. With his current strength and the power of Ghost Hand Pirates, holding an Ancient Weapon and keeping it safe is no problem for them. Even if the World Government would not dare to take any actions against them. Moreover, even if the World Government really acts, the Ghost Hand Pirates arent just sitting ducks. Go down. Ross patted the white cloud under him. This white cloud is an ordinary island cloud, but Ross turned it into a flying Homie. Its speed is similar to that of an ordinary ship. It is better to be able to fly. Moreover, the speed can also be increased by the wind of Hurricane Incarnation. The Island Cloud Homie responded and lowered towards the island. Robin noticed the Pirate Ship on the sea but didnt care. For her now, she wouldnt care if she saw any Pirate Ship in the first half of the Grand Line. Ross ignored the Pirate Ship as well, but he inadvertently glanced with a little surprise in his eyes. Taking a closer look. The blue-haired girl tied to the mast, wasnt she Princess Nefartari Vivi of Alabasta? What is going on? Ross touched his chin and began to think. In his current position, what can make him pay a little attention to or care about is the pirates at the Shichibukai level. Besides Shichibukai, some of the more impressive plot characters can also attract his eyes. What happened? Robin noticed the change in Rosss gaze. While asking a question, she followed Rosss gaze and looked at the Pirate Ship on the sea below. Rosss attention to a Pirate Ship surprised her. Nothing, I just saw something interesting. Ross smiled. Unexpectedly, after the Sand Crocodile was killed by him. Alabasta still couldnt be at peace. Even the Princess was abducted. After thinking about overthrowing the World Government, it is necessary to establish a new kingdom and include all the countries in it. It is no accident that Vivi would be the sole heir of Alabasta, and she has also won the hearts of the people. It would be no problem for her to govern this country. At this time. Many pirates on the Pirate Ship also found that there was a shadow on the cloud above them. What the hell! Be careful, there are people on it! After all, this is the Grand Line. Many of the pirates on this ship have conquered West Blue and have seen many Devil Fruit abilities. It is not very shocking for them to see a white cloud floating in the sky. Vivi is the same. As Princess of Alabasta, she has also seen many Devil Fruit abilities. This kind of thing that can fly in the sky may be some special means of transportation. She just doesnt know who is riding on it. It stopped. When many pirates were dismayed, they suddenly discovered that the white cloud that was supposed to pass over from above them suddenly stopped in the air. This stop immediately made everyone wary, and many people took out their weapons and picked up their guns and made preparation for a fight. At the same time. Vivi also looked at the white cloud with some surprise. She saw the white cloud descend slowly, revealing two figures standing on top of the white cloud, a man and a woman, she had a little impression of the woman but the man was vaguely familiar to her as if she had seen him somewhere. The mans gaze was calm as he looked at her calmly. Immediately afterward, she heard the man raise his hand and made a simple gesture towards the woman next to him. The woman raised her arms and crossed her arms in front of her, posing in a strange pose, as if she is going to do something. Kch! Kch! Kch! Almost the next moment, a series of broken bones sounded in her ears. When looking around in amazement, she saw the pirates on the entire ship and all of their bodies showed a weird curve, which was a bend that exceeded the limit of human bones. Thud! Thud! Together with Captain Jackal of the Jackal pirates with a bounty of 40 Million Berries and all the other pirates on the ship fell down in this second, and the whole ship was silent. At the next moment, Vivi felt that the rope that bound her was untied, and at the same time, the white cloth in her mouth was also taken out and her freedom was restored. Suddenly. She heard the man say another word. Lets go. As his voice fell, the man smiled at her and the white cloud quickly carried the two and it flew towards the coast before disappearing from her vision. It wasnt until the figures of Ross and Robin disappeared that Vivi reacted. She stood up, first, she looked at the pirates that had fallen to the deck. When she realized that all the pirates had died, she took two steps forward and rushed to the side of the ship. But by this time she could not find the shadow of those two people. Those two people Vivi knew that those two people had saved her, but she didnt even know their name, but the man made her a little familiar, and she was already feeling that she had seen him somewhere. When Vivi was stunned, many human figures gradually appeared on the coast. The first one was Alabastas king, her father, Nefartari Cobra, and Alabastas guards were next to him. Sir, the ship has been spotted! The Captain of the guard was standing beside Cobra. When he saw the Pirate Ship not far from the coast, his face showed alarm and alertness. One person next to Cobra said, Your Majesty, please step back. However Cobra did not back away, but still walked in front of the team, looking at the Pirate Ship from afar, his expression seemed very calm, but it could not cover the anxiety deep within his eyes. But. When he and his guards arrived close to shore, they found that there was no sign of any Pirate on the Pirate Ship and there was only Princess Vivi who was standing on the side of the Ship, waving at them. CHAPTER 375 WHO IS HE? On the shore. You said two people killed all the pirates? Cobra looked at Vivi in surprise. He knew that Vivi would not lie, and said, Do you know who they are?! Vicki shook her head and said, I dont know. The man and woman who saved her from the Jackal Pirates left without talking to her or giving her the opportunity to thank them. Cobra turned to look at the guard next to him. There was a trace of cold sweat on the guards face as he said, All pirates have their neck bones torn off and listening to the Princess, it seems like something happened to all of them in an instant and at the same time Did all the pirate break the neck bone in an instant? There was a hint of shock in Cobras eyes. The origin of this group of pirates is already clear to him. It is the Jackal Pirates whose Captain Jackal has a bounty of 42 million Berries but listening to Vivis words, even Captain Jackal couldnt show any resistance in front of the man and the woman. Like his men, he was directly killed. Pell, the deputy of the Royal Guard, said in a deep voice, Your Majesty, although there is no specific outlook, according to the description of her highness, it should be some kind of devil fruit ability. Being able to kill a shipload of pirates in an instant while still separated by a distance, is obviously not a normal trick. Yes Cobra nodded, agreeing with Pell. This is the Grand Line. Devil Fruits are not uncommon here. Pell is also a Devil Fruit user. He ate the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Falcon, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a falcon. Correct. With a slight frown, Vivi made a thoughtful gesture and said, I think I have seen one of them somewhere. Because she could not see clearly at a distance, and because she could only see at a glance, he went away without giving her a chance to look at him carefully. Now she could only search by memory. Where? Hearing Vivis words, the people present couldnt help but become surprised. Vivie is Alabastas Princess. Although she is outgoing and often runs out of the palace to play as a child, she has much less contact with the outside world than ordinary people. Plus she was only fourteen, she had seen even fewer people. Much less someone with such a strong strength. If these two conditions are combined, it seems that it is difficult to find a matching character. These two are not Marine. Cobra asked Vivi after some thinking. Vivi nodded, although she couldnt see much clearly, but the clothes of the two people were obviously not Marines uniform. The group of people thought hard but they still couldnt think of anyone. Cobra finally shook his head and said in a deep voice: Anyway, they saved Vivi and if we have a chance to see them later, we must thank them in person. Vivi gave a nod and followed Cobra and others back to the palace, but she kept frowning and thinking. This feeling of familiarity but not figuring out who that person is, is very confusing. After some time. The crowd finally returned to Alabastas palace. Vivi and Cobra came down from Pells back and walked towards the palace together with Captain and others. After returning to the palace, Cobra picked up a wanted poster on the coffee table, and said to the guard, Inform Marines that the Jackal Pirates has been destroyed. Yes. The guard next to him answered. At this time, Vivi standing on the left side of Cobra stared and subconsciously took the Jackal wanted poster from Cobra. What happened? Cobra looked at Vivi strangely. Vivi looked at the wanted poster in her hands and a gleam of light gradually glowed in her eyes as she said, I remember, that person, I seem to have seen him on the wanted poster! Wanted poster? Cobra took a moment and then his face changed slightly, the people on the wanted poster were either Pirate or Criminals. Why would such a person save Vivi? He was still feeling a little unbelievable. However, Vivi seized this moment and did not intend to let it go. She said to Cobra, Father, where are the wanted posters issued by the government? Although unbelievable, Cobra said, In the archives, Im going to get someone well, there should be a little more. After ordering the guards to fetch the wanted poster, Cobra sat on the chair, revealing a touch of contemplation. If the person who saved Vivi was really a pirate, what was the purpose of the other party? No. In any case, Vivi was rescued by that person and no matter whether the other partys identity was pirate or not, they must thank the other party. The guards quickly carried a lot of wanted posters and came towards them. Cobra hesitated for a while and he told the guards to separate the wanted posters above 50 million Berries-who can easily destroy the Jackal Pirates as those people are definitely stronger than the Jackal Pirates. After filtering out the pirates with a bounty of more than 50 million Berries, the wanted posters were immediately reduced by a lot, but they still sorted out and stacked on the coffee table. Vivi pounced over and looked at them one by one. Because they are wanted posters kept in the archives room, they are arranged very neatly, and the amount of hanging bounty is arranged in order from high to low for easy inquiry. The top one is a pirate with a bounty of 50 million berries. After a look, Vivi lift it and look at the second one, and then the third one and then the fourth one, Seventh Sixteenth Thirty-first Vivi turned the wanted posters continuous and soon this stack of wanted posters were turned over by more than half, but she still did not find the wanted poster that could match the figure in her memory. Havent found it yet? Cobra sat next to her and he watched Vivi flipping through the wanted poster, seeing that she had turned over to the pirates with the bounty of over 200 million berries, he could not help asking. Vivi shook her head and continued to turn the Wanted Posters. She had only seen Ross slightly blurred face due to distance. When she turned to Robins wanted poster, she paused a bit, feeling that this was the woman she saw today, but she wanted to find the man and let it go. Later, the wanted posters of the Pirates with a bounty of 200 Million Berries were overturned and she began to look for him at a higher bounty level. 300 Million Berries 400 Million Berries 500 Million Berries Cobra looked aside, and when he saw Vivi turning over to the 500 million Berries pirates, he couldnt help shaking his head slightly. Did you remember it wrong? These upward pirates are all the characters in the New World, all of them are qualified to serve as Seven Warlords of the Sea, or they are the main subordinates of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates and if they move, even the Marine Headquarters will have a headache. Besides, he was still feeling a little strange, how could a pirate save Vivi. Not just Cobra. Even Vivi was feeling a little skeptical at this moment, because she had turned to the Pirates with a bounty of One Billion, and there were no more pictures in the back. Maybe Im really mistaken Vivi responded but she still continued to flip the wanted posters leaving only the last few. Red Hair Shanks Hundred Beast Kaido Ghost Hand Ross Subconsciously, Vivi had to turn over the last few photos, but at this moment, she suddenly stared and turned back the wanted poster she had just turned, she blinked at the person on the wanted poster. The atmosphere came to a standstill. Vivi took a deep breath and a look of shock appeared in her eyes, she still wasnt able to believe it and she looked at the wanted poster again. I found it! Cobra was lowering his head to think about the matter and he hadnt watched Vivi turning the wanted posters. At this moment, when he heard Vivis words, he couldnt help turning his head. The moment he saw that wanted poster, he was stunned. Its him?! Yes, it is him. Vivi took a deep breath and replied. After hearing Vivis answer, Cobras face changed suddenly. The nearby guards Captain, Lieutenant Pell, and others were all stunned, staring at each other, and could not help but take a deep breath. Yonk (Four Emperors)? It turned out to be a Yonk (Four Emperors). A Yonk (Four Emperors) appeared in Alabasta! CHAPTER 376 CLUES The cold sweat on Cobra and others all flowed down in an instant. The four most powerful pirate regiments of New World, Yonk (Four Emperors), are the headaches of the World Government and it is nearly impossible for anyone to destroy them. No matter where they appear, they will cause great storms. Four Yonk (Four Emperors) The Guard Captain was sweating coldly, and he took two steps back and almost fell down. Cobra took a deep breath and said, Calm down, that guy saved Vivi before, maybe things arent that bad. What would we say to the World Government? Bell asked in a deep voice. Cobra said: Marines should be coming soon. Dont rush to report this, but Marines coming over may cause some problems. Yonk (Four Emperors) and the Marine Headquarters are enemies and just one or two troops or armies will have no effect on them at all. If they fight in Alabasta, the kingdom will be destroyed. Fortunately, Ross didnt seem to have any hostility towards them. He saved Vivi on his way. The only thing that was not clear was what Ross wanted in Alabasta. Try not to alarm anyone. After thinking deeply, Cobra said slowly, Dont go looking for them too much, send someone to look for them secretly, and report to me when you find them. Yes. Bell nodded before turning around and walking out. And just when Cobra gave the order. To the west of Alabastas palace, the burial hall at Alabasta, also known as the royal tomb, was a solemn scene to see. At this moment, the figures of Ross and Robin are standing on both sides of the Royal Tomb. Both of them are searching for the underground secret road leading to the underground hall. Since Robin was not lurking in Alabasta before, she naturally did not know the location of the hidden staircase but both Ross and she are observant and thoughtful characters, and finding a secret passageway in this fixed area isnt difficult. Besides. If they cant find it, Ross can split the whole Royal Tomb with a sword. He didnt want to do that because he didnt want to attract any attention and since he had saved Vivi, it was better not to dig graves on her ancestors. Its here. After searching around, Robin finds an unusual place. Sure enough, it turned out to be the location that they were looking for. After opening it, a secret passage to the Underground appears. Ross came over and took a look around before saying, It should be here. Just go down and have a look. And he stepped in first, not afraid of traps or anything like that. Robin is curious about how Ross knew that there was a secret passage in the Royal Tomb. Ross knowing that Alabasta has clues to the Ancient Weapon Pluton is natural because this is one of the intelligence gathered by their intelligence forces. But the intelligence forces had no idea where the clue was, and she had no idea either, but Ross seemed to know all about it. Fortunately. She got used to Ross getting weird news from time to time. After a little curiosity, she slightly shook her head and followed him. After they get to the Underground area, a solemn structure appeared in front of them. Right in front of them is a square stone tablet. Poneglyph. When Robin saw this, her eyes flashed and she walked towards the stele, looked at the text above, and went through it word by word. Today, she has seen many pieces of Poneglyph, including several pieces of intelligence Poneglyph. She has learned a lot about the Void Centurys hundred years of history, but many parts are still unknown and in speculation. Well? Where does Plutons clue lead to? Ross came over and glanced at the Poneglyph stone and asked Robin. Robin walked forward while stroking a string of text in the corner of the stele, with a thoughtful look in her eyes. Then she nodded thoughtfully and said: There is indeed a Pluton clue here, whose location is at Alabasta. Coast. A Battleship came slowly and stopped at the coast. Whats going on, didnt the Princess was kidnapped? A Marine Captain on Battleship, clutching two cigarettes, frowns at the Pirate Ship not far away, and at a large number of Pirate corpses being carried ashore. We had a hard time here but the Princess is fine. The Alabasta guard, stationed on the shore, came up and the Leader opened his mouth to Smoker and others who had come up and down from battleship. He pointed to the bodies over there and said, The pirates has been completely destroyed, we were just waiting for you before dealing with the bodies. Smoker frowned. For the average marine, they would have been very happy to meet this kind of thing, because they dont need to fight and they dont need to work hard to get credit, its like a pie falling from the sky. But for Smoker who had hurried over here and found out that the matter had been resolved, leaving him only the job of dealing with the corpse made him feel a little uncomfortable. But even though he was unhappy, he didnt bother to say anything. Captain Smoker. Behind Smoker was a young girl with glasses. It was Tashigi. At this moment, she had just joined Marine and her rank was just Sergeant. Smoker looked at the corpses and said, Check them. Yes. Tashigi nodded and led a team of Marines towards the piled up corpse. It was okay for her not to check it. After this check, she was startled, only to feel that her back was a little cold, and there was a faint cold sweat on it and she couldnt help screaming. Captian Smoker! What happened? Smoker was already feeling a little uncomfortable and when he heard Tashigis scream, his eyes crunched up and he began to walk towards her. Tashigi took a deep breath while suppressing the shock in her heart and said solemnly, These bodies all of them had their necks broken and they were killed in a single attack. So? Smoker looked down at the corpses with no surprise expression. He had seen this kind of thing a lot, he had even seen corpses on a ship where the throat was cut out. Tashigi said: No, look at this. This is Jackal, the overlord of West Blue with 42 million Berries bounty. His death is similar to everyone else here meaning he died in the same way!" Hmm? Smokers complexion changed slightly, and he squatted to look closely. After seeing it, there was a depreressed look on his face. The pirate with 42 Million Berries bounty on his head was nothing to him, but it was not so easy to break the neck of such a pirate in a single blow. It is possible to say that a sneak attack is possible, but the entire ship was killed in one move and they all died in the same way. The possibility of a sneak attack is very small. CHAPTER 377 MEETS Who did this, was it you? Smoker turned to look at Alabastas Guard and asked at him. The Guard Captain hesitated when he heard Smokers question and replied. Im sorry, we dont know who did this. Ohh? Smoker froze. The Guard Captain spread his hand and said, When we arrived at the coast, we were prepared to fight till our death to rescue the Princess from the Pirates but when we arrived, the Pirates were already dead and the Princess was safe. Tashigi asked in a stunned and unbelieving manner: How the hell did that happen? But even if this did happen, how could anyone not even know who did it, Your Highness Princess should know. The Guard Captain responded: The Princess knows that it is a man and a woman, but she does not know them. Doesnt know them Smoker keenly captured the keyword and asked, That being said, the man and the woman were not from Alabasta, they were outsiders. The Guard Captain nodded his head. Smoker saw this and suddenly a touch of thoughtfulness appeared on his face. To have the ability to kill Jackal in a single attack, they would not be ordinary people. Even on the Grand Line, it would be a famous character. Listening to Guard Captains statement, it seems that the other side happened to encounter the pirate group on their way and successfully saved their Princess. Now they seem to have entered Alabasta. Mr. Smoker, what should we do next? Tashigi ordered to dispose of the bodies while asking Smoker. Smoker groaned slightly and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes as he said, Lets go to Alabasta and see whats going on. Maybe we can still meet these mysterious people. Although they saved the Princess of Alabasta, I still cant see whether they are good or not, maybe they have some other purpose. If any normal person rescued the Princess of Alabasta, how could they not contact the royalty of Alabasta and it would even be normal for them to ask for the king to entertain them, but the man and the women left immediately, without even leaving their name, which seemed a bit abnormal. Yes. Tashigi responded. After disposing of the corpse on the shore, a portion of the Marines were left on the Battleship and the remaining Marines were led by Smoker and they set foot on Alabasta. In this world, Marines are a very common sight, so the appearance of Smoker and others did not cause much shock, and Alabasta is still the same as usual. Smoker led the Marines to tour the streets of Alabasta all morning and found no abnormalities and no pirates. Maybe they are gone. Smokers face was pensive. The more he couldnt find those two people, the more he felt that the other party might have some other plans and it was likely to cause a big problem for them. This was the kind of intuition that he had developed for many years in Marines. Mr. Smoker, we have been searching for all morning, everyone is a little tired. Tashigi walked next to Smoker and whispered to Smoker, Should we stop first and eat something? Smoker did not resist and nodded. Okay. Many Marine soldiers carry dry rations with them and they began to eat them. As for some ranked officers, they went to some restaurants to order food. Smoker and Tashigi also went to a High Level restaurant. Alabastas dishes also have a unique flavor. Sitting at the table covered with a white cloth, Ross tasted a few dishes and found that the taste of the dishes was not bad. He couldnt help but smile. He thought that there would be nothing delicious in a desert country like Alabasta. After getting out of the Royal Tomb, he didnt rush to find the Ancient Weapon Pluton and he went to a restaurant with Robin to order some food. After all, he came from Cake Island to Alabasta and he hadnt eaten for some time. Not bad. Robin also nodded. When she cut a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, her expression suddenly flickered as she noticed something behind Ross. Robin was sitting right in front of the door and she could see the people who came in. At this moment, her eyes fell on the man and the woman who came in. Marines? Seeing one man and one woman wearing Marine uniforms coming in, Robin didnt reveal any change in appearance. For her today, unless a Marine Headquarters Admiral appeared, she wouldnt worry at all. And its not just her, Ross is also here and even if a Marine Admiral came here, they wouldnt dare to come to move against them, these two Marines should not be so stupid as to get in trouble with them, they should have just come over for dinner. What happened? Ross noticed a change in Robins gaze and instead of turning his head to look behind him, he ate a piece of meat and asked casually. Robin didnt care and replied: Its nothing But when her voice fell, Tashigi, who was ordering food saw her inadvertently, and suddenly stare. Because Robin was wearing a hat that was lowered to her head halfway and her face was hidden from sight, Tashigi did not see Robins face but it still made her feel a little familiar. As a Marine. The most important mission for them is to remember those Bounty Pirates. Realizing that Robin looked a bit familiar, Tashigi couldnt help but drop the menu back on the table and walked towards this side, tilting her head slightly, looking at Robins face for a while. Its rude to stare at others like this. Robin took a cup of tea and sipped from it and closed her eyes lightly and said casually. At this time Ross had already noticed Tashigi and Smoker and was slightly surprised, but then he calmed down and ate and drank tea without a care in the world. You Tashigi stared at Robin and frowned slightly, she raised the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said with some uncertainty: You should be Nico Robin, right? Robin smiled as she put down the teacup, she looked at Tashigi and spoke with an elegant smile on his face, You guessed it right, Marine. Tashigis complexion changed. Sii! !! Without hesitation, she raised her hand and pulled out the sword hanging around her waist, showing an extremely alert and serious posture while looking at Robin and she said: Ghost Hand Pirates, Sixth Division Captain, Nico Robin! What are you doing here! Hahaha I came here to eat, and please dont point that dangerous thing at me. Robin smiled lightly and did nothing, but the ability of Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) was already activated, and Tashigis sword fell down instantly. Several arms emerged from Tashigis body and grabbed Tashigis arm while twisted it behind her, and at the same time, one of the arms held her chin, completely capturing her figure. Hmm! Tashigi struggled hard, but she couldnt free herself, she was restrained in her place and she was feeling ashamed and angry, and there was still a little fear in her heart. And at this moment, a weapon suddenly swept from her back and directly swept at those arms on her body, and all the arms were scattered into petals. Oh. Robin sat there and she tilted her head and looked at Smoker, she put one hand on her cheek as she leaned towards the table and said, Its Seastone. Smoker looked at Robin with a depressed expression on his face. I didnt expect the Division Captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates to appear here what is your purpose here, Nico Robin! Rovin smiled lightly and said, Didnt you here before? I came here to eat. Smoker heard her answer and snorted coldly and a flash of coldness appeared in his eyes, he took a deep breath and said, Since you dont plan to explain yourself, I will capture you first and then I will slowly get the answers out of you. The moment his voice fell, his arms suddenly turned into smoke and his hand in the smoke holding his weapon swept across the top of Ross head and smashed towards Robins head. Squeak! !! With a cup in one hand and a kick at the table, Robin suddenly slid away with the chair by several meters, avoiding the strike from Smoker and she also took a sip of tea at the same time while showing a trace of surprise on her face. Ohh, a Logia user. Seeing Robins movements, Smokers eyes flashed angrily. It looked like Robin didnt put him in his eyes at all. In his anger, Smokers entire body turned into smoke and he rushed into forward planning to charge into Robin, he waved his weapon in his Smoke Hand and smashed it towards Robin. Captian Smoker! Seeing this, Tashigi picked up her sword and was about to rush over to help Smoker, but she suddenly noticed Ross who was still eating his food. Reminiscent of the man and woman mentioned by Alabastas guard before, she couldnt help but look slightly startled. Could it be that the Jackal Pirates were destroyed by Nico Robin and this person? The probability of this is very hight! These thoughts flickered in her heart and she immediately becomes vigilant. If this was the case, then this man is probably also a Ghost Hand Pirate! Tashigi held the hilt of the blade in her hand and turned around little by little. Robin and Smoker fought and the restaurant was already in a mess, countless people screamed and fled outside, but Ross continued to eat as if nothing was happening. In Tashigis eyes, Rosss side face was the first one to be reflected, he was neither white nor black. He had a very regular complexion. He didnt look particularly handsome, but he has a kind of special temperament, which was quite different from any aristocrat she had ever seen. The side of the face gave her a slight pause, but she recovered quickly and moved on to the front of Ross. This time. Rosss entire face becomes clear to her. The moment she saw Rosss full face, Tashigis hand trembled and she almost screamed out and the blade in her hand almost fell down. I will say this once I am eating, dont ruin my mood. Ross put a piece of meat in his mouth and looked at Tashigi as he said this. Tashigis hand was shaking constantly. She wanted to overcome the inexplicable fear in her heart, but she couldnt do it anyway. She wanted to attack Ross with her sword but the fact was that in front of her sat Ross and the sword in her hands almost became unstable! Im really impressed with your Marines. How did you get here at Alabasta? He asked dully as he ate. Tashigi tried to answer but her voice failed her at this time. Ross doesnt care if Tashigi answers him. He eats and says to himself, I remember the first time I had attacked Marine. That situation also started in a restaurant, they came there to arrest me. Since you recognized Robin, you should be able to guess who I am, so do you still plan to fight. Ross put another piece of meat in his mouth and chewed it before he asked. In fact, I didnt plan to do anything to you Marine. But you kept blaming me and it turned out to be like this. Is your pride really so important? At this point, no one can give in. You see that I am a Yonk (Four Emperors). Its impossible for me to run away after seeing you guys as I dont need to, and its impossible for you to sit by and watch my growing power. Sooner or later, I and the Marine Headquarter will have a decisive battle. Do you think that if I won, would I let Marine survive? Ross whispered, ignoring Tashigis ever-changing complexion, but every sentence made Tashigis heart tremble. Although she kept telling herself that Ross was a Pirate and he was talking wildly but his power and narrative tone made her powerless to refute. Its not that she cant speak. She doesnt know what to say now. Decisive battle with Marine Headquarters? Should Marine continue to exist? This kind of terrifying topic is not a question that a Sergeant Marine can answer at all! CHAPTER 378 WORDS I say, dont stare like this, dont you have something to say. Ross lowered the knife and fork and took the teacup next to him and took a sip, he looked at Tashigi who hadnt spoken yet. Tashigi forcibly calmed her mind and finally stepped back from her trembling state. She clenched her finger on the hilt of her sword and said: That kind of question has nothing to do with me! You are Ghost Hand Ross! Even if you are the Strongest in the world I will arrest you! As if she had gathered her courage, as she shouting this sentence, Tashigi slashed at Ross with her sword and she even couldnt help but close her eyes when she attacked. A sword fell. She did not feel her sword strike anything. Startled, she opened her eyes again and saw Ross still sitting there eating and doing nothing else. This is Whats the matter Even if her sword doesnt cut Ross, it should cut the table. Why didnt her sword cut anything? !! Tashigi looked at the sword in her hand and couldnt help but hesitate. Arrest me? Ross forks up a carrot and puts it in his mouth. Its an extremely difficult thing to do, even more difficult than being the Worlds Number One Swordsman. When Tashigi hears Rosss words, her dazed eyes suddenly freeze and she seems to have renewed her faith and fighting spirit and she attacked with her sword again. Sii! The sword passed through Ross and the table. The picture is exactly the same as before as if Ross sitting in front of her is just a phantom, the blade cannot cut any substance at all. Tashigi has a stunned expression on her face and she continued to wave her sword frantically, but she could not even cut off the corner of the table and the blade passed through everything as if everything in front of her was illusory. I say, why do you want to arrest me so much? Because youre Marine? Ross sat there motionless and asked casually. Tashigis intense breathing is not due to her stamina loss, but it was because of her shock, disbelief, and various other feelings she was feeling in the face of Rosss unknown powers. When she heard Ross question, she could not help but grit her teeth and responded: Im Marine, I naturally want to arrest all pirates Oh. Ross gave an understatement and said, What is the definition of Marine and Pirate? Does a person become a pirate just by hanging a skull flag on their ship? Those who dont hang the flag but burn and rob others, arent they pirate? Tashigi has never debated any issues such as this, or maybe it was because of her little Sergeant Marine position as she simply cannot reach such a point. What is a Marine? This kind of problem is understood and considered by Marine Admiral. Marine below Admiral does not need to consider so much at all, they only need to obey orders. Rosss words left her in a state of confusion and the thoughts in her head were turbulent, and she couldnt help saying: What banner they fly is not the key. Oh. Ross responded again as he put the last piece of meat in his mouth and took the handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said, Then you who is holding the Marine flag and defending the rights of Tenryubito, and protecting and extorting the Heavenly Tribute from all over the world. What are you? Tashigi froze. This sentence can be said to have pierced her heart and it instantly tore apart her so-called justice that was not so firm. Yes, the flag is not the key. Burning and looting is the key. Marines maintain Tenryubitos law and enforce Heavenly Tribute compulsory collection worldwide. Countries that do not pay Heavenly Tribute will be punished. Is this any different from a pirate? At this moment, Tashigi is in a trance. Thud! The blade in her hand could no longer be held and it just dropped to the ground. She has long been ready to die for her beliefs and she will never retreat even if she dies, but when she finds that the beliefs she is holding out are meaningless, the war between her determination to hold on to her beliefs in her heart was like melting ice and snow, and they would never exist again. She stilled for a moment and after some time, she fell to the ground with blurred eyes and various voices were constantly speaking in her mind. Ross lowered the handkerchief in his hand and stood up before glancing at Tashigi. Bang! Just then, the wall on his left side was suddenly smashed. Countless pieces of gravel were splashing around and he saw Smoker flew over and hit his back against the wall on the right. Smokers strength is very good. The Marine Captain rank is too low for him but he is not as good as those elite Headquarters Vice-Admirals. And even those elite Headquarters Vice-Admiral may not be able to beat the current Robin. Which of the main cadres of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates would be weak. Tashigi! There was a trace of blood on the corner of Smokers mouth as he hit his back against the wall. After stabilizing his body, he saw Tashigi lying on the ground. However, he yelled at Tashigi, but Tashigi didnt respond at all, and she was still sitting on the ground with glossed eyes. At this time. Smoker finally noticed Ross and his face changed dramatically. You are Ghost Hand Ross! Ross didnt respond and he just stood there calmly. Smoker glanced at Ross and then he looked at Tashigi, whose eyes were glossed over and she looked to be in a trance, he gritted his teeth and asked, What have you done to Tashigi?! Ross answered casually: I did nothing, I just asked her what it means to be a Pirate and what it means to be a Marine. I thought she was kinder, so I just talked casually. You baste Smoker gritted his teeth and tried to curse but he stopped himself forcibly. No matter how arrogant he is, he also knows the gap between himself and Ross. It is a gap that cannot be crossed at all and he cant even deal with Robin next to him. Lets go. Ross glanced at Robin as she walked in. Robin didnt even look at Smoker either and instead glanced at Tashigi and looked at Ross again. Ross said oddly, Think what Im doing. Robin showed a thoughtful gaze and followed Ross out of the shop. Smoker watched Robin and Ross leave, his fists clenched, but he still didnt dare to do anything. As for the Marine gathered around, they didnt even dare to come forward and they just watched Ross and Robin leave. Tashigi, how are you? After Ross and Robin left, Smoker took a deep breath then looked at Tashigi sitting on the ground again and asked Tashigi gradually recovered from her state. She was silent as she picked up her fallen sword and put it in the scabbard and stood up while saying: Im fine, Captain Smoker. Thats good. Smoker breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Ross really just asked questions and he didnt attack Tashigi. Tashigi lowered her head and remained silent for a while, and said, Im a bit tired, Captain Smoker. Can I go back to rest earlier? Go ahead. Smoker took a look at Tashigi and saw that she seemed to have been hit hard emotionally and said, That guy was Ghost Hand Ross, he is not a character you can handle now. It is normal for you to lose in his hands, and it is already quite fortunate that we got to keep ou lives with us. Ok. Tashigi nodded, absent-minded. Smoker could only shake his head when he saw this. He thought it was Tashigis defeat to Ross that made her took a big hit, and he didnt care. Failure is not terrible. Only the real strong people would have the power to come out of failure and become even stronger. Even Ross has been defeated and has been put in Impel Down and he got out and become a Yonko. CHAPTER 379 THE POWER OF ONE SHO Somewhere Underground. The sound of gurgling water rang in the wet Underground. This is an Underground River in the depths of an Island. It is said that the Underground River is actually connected to the sea. In the middle of the Underground River, a ship was docked here and an ancient atmosphere surrounded it, the surface of this ship is covered with moss as if it has been here for hundreds of thousands of years. Ancient Weapon-Pluton. Is this the legendary Ancient Weapon, the product of that time Robin came to Plutons side and ran a hand over the moss. She is not interested in the power of Pluton, but Pluton is an ancient Weapon that transcends the era, showing part of the history of that hidden era, and studying that part of history has already become her goal in life. Ive heard that one shot from this can destroy an island. This power is not small. Ross looked up at the entire Pluton ship. Like Whitebeard, or himself, they also have the power to easily destroy an island, and it is not difficult for them to sink an island into the sea. But to say that they can destroy a large island completely with a single blow, it will be very difficult even for them, Ross has not tried it and he is not planning to practice his punched with a large island as the target. Being able to rank alongside the Sea King Posidon Shirahoshi who controls the Sea Kings as an Ancient Weapon, the power of the Pluton ship is also unquestionable, and if a shot is fired at the Marine Headquarters, few people can stop it. Do you want to fire a shot at Holy Land when we go back? Ross laughed at Robin. Robin did not return his laugh: Thats practically forcing the World Government to fight against us. Are you ready? Robin knew that Rosss final goal was not to be a Yonk (Four Emperors) or the Pirate King but his goal is to destroy all pirates before overthrowing the World Government. Ahh, I am not really ready. Ross walked towards Robin and his hands stretched towards her waist as he hugged her from behind, and pulled her body close to his. But Im ready if you want me to. Robin made a bunch of arms to tear Ross apart from her and continued to study the history of Pluton. The Pluton ship is not an ordinary ship and it would be a bit difficult to navigate it. Ross and Robin boarded Pluton and studied it carefully, and only understood part of it. But. It doesnt matter if it can be used or not, Ross doesnt plan to sail to the market with Pluton. He going to use his Gravity Distortion to take the entire Pluton ship back to Totto Land for more stability. Lets go back and study it more thoroughly. Ross saw Robin continue to study Pluton and said something to her, he went to the stern of Plutons ship and used his power of distortion. Wee! The Pluton ship, which had been stationary for hundreds of years, finally moved again, though not with its own power. Ross controlled the current and pushed the Pluton ship forward in the Underground Underwater. As the water level increased, the Underground cave filled the end, and Ross directly opened the sea with the wall of Distortion and rushed the ship into the dark water. After traveling for hundreds of meters again, they finally rushed out of the cave and appeared at the bottom of the sea dozens of meters down and then quickly floated up. As the waves surge. The Ancient Weapon Pluton, which has been silent for hundreds of years, finally sailed the seas again! Lets go up! Ross took a deep breath and used Gravity Distortion which covered the entire Pluton ship and it slowly lifted the entire ship, then quickly elevated, and eventually disappeared into the sky. World Government. Pangaea Castle. The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) had learned of Rosss presence in Alabasta and have come together to discuss with each other in a solemn manner. Alabasta why did the Ghost Hand go there. The Nefartari Family is the only descendant of the first twenty who remained in the lower world In other words, they are traitors. Is there a secret collusion between the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Nefartari Family? After all, that family was descended from the king. Do they know something? A Gorsei said with a cold voice. They did not care about the Nefartari Family. Although they were descendants of the king, they chose to stay in the lower world without accepting the identity and power of Tenryubito. But if people in this family know some secrets and then they collude with the Ghost Hand Pirates, then it would not be a trivial matter. In fact. The Gorsei are now feeling a little restless with the current Ghost Hand Pirate. They wouldnt care much if the Ghost Hand Pirates behaves like Akagami (Red Hair) and Hundred Beast Kaido, by searching and snatching Road Poneglyph and they plan to conquer the Grand Line by setting foot on Raftel and becomes the new Pirate King. The Pirate King or Emperors arent much of a threat to the World Government and they will not affect the operations of the World Government and the Pirate King will attract countless challengers to him. The World Government is happy to see this result. But. Ross did not have any intention to become the King of Pirates, but he continued to develop steadily, especially the internal governance and external expansion of Totto Land, making the Gorsei feel a little uneasy. They always felt that Rosss purpose would not be as simple as managing Totto Land or as simple as remaining the Emperor of the sea. Right. Alabasta may have a clue to Ancient Weapon Pluton. A Gorsei thought of something and suddenly looked startled as he spoke. The other four heard this and their expressions changed. In addition to Ross, Nico Robin appeared in Alabasta, and Nico Robin is the only survivor of the OHara incident and the only person who can interpret the original text of history! This combination suddenly made Gorsei feel that something is bad. This is not good. If his purpose was Ancient Weapon, he might have succeeded by now! An Ancient Weapon in Ghost Hand Rosss hand This would be trouble The other Gorsei showed troubled expressions. The Ghost Hand Pirates is already the most annoying force. Now if they have Ancient Weapon, it will become even more powerful. According to this situation, if Marine Headquarters put on a stance against the Ghost Hand Pirates and fought them, even if they can win, I am afraid it will be a terrible victory, the casualties will be extremely severe! The Ancient Weapon cannot fall into his hands. A Gorsei spoke in a deep voice. But everyone was silent. They definitely didnt want to see Ancient Weapon fall into Ross hands, but how to stop it was a big problem. Its impossible to send the entire Marine Headquarters force to the New World to fight the Ghost Hand Pirates. This situation cant be stopped, all we can do is get the blueprints of Pluton as soon as possible, tell CP9 to move faster. A Gorsei holding a sword said in a deep voice: With the blueprints, Vegapunk can copy the Ancient Weapon Pluton! We can only do this. Several people nearby nodded or sighed. CHAPTER 380 EAST BLUE’S CHANGES Sky Island Birka. It has been more than three months since Ross brought the Ancient Weapon Pluton back, and he has been studying Pluton for more than a month and has become familiar with it. However, Ross did not place the ship on the sea and instead it was placed on the beach of Birka Island. Although the World Government knew the existence of Sky Island, it knew very little about the intelligence of every Sky island. Did Blackbeard defect? Ross was sitting inside the palace and was holding a newspaper, revealing a thoughtful look. It was published in the newspaper that Blackbeard Teach killed the Whitebeard Pirates Fourth Division Captain Thatch and defected from the Whitebeard Pirates. Its really big news. Robin also looked at a newspaper in her hand. She put a hand under her lips, revealing her thoughts and said, This Teach, who calls himself Blackbeard, seems to be an ambitious guy, he killed the Division Captain Thatch and defected from the White Beard Pirates and his strength is not average. Ross said: Its not only that, if you investigate this person carefully, you will know that the scars on Akagami (Red Hair)s face were because of him. Oh? Robin was slightly surprised, it seems that she still underestimated this Blackbeard Teach. The Whitebeard Pirates is missing one Division Captain. Their forces are greatly damaged. Do you want to grab some islands over this time? After being surprised, Robin asked Ross. Ross shook his head and said, We will not occupy Whitebeards territory for the time being. If we move against Whitebeard at this time, the New World will be completely chaotic. A deeper consideration is that if he is fighting against Whitebeard, it is hard to guarantee that Kaido will not take the opportunity to take action. In addition, with the World Government and Marine, he may not be able to earn anything by then. The Whitebeard Pirates suffered such a big incident, whether Marines or other Yonk (Four Emperors), all the eyes were focused on the Whitebeard Pirates. Its been 21 years since the start of the Great Age of Pirates. Ross glanced at the date in the corner of the newspaper and couldnt help but murmur. It was close to the time when Luffy went out to sea. And Luffy arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago Island soon after going out to sea, which means that it would not be long before the War Of The Best happens. Although the world is already saying that this era is the era of Ross and the Ghost Hand Pirates. But. From Rosss point of view, this is just empty words. He can deal with one Yonk (Four Emperors), but he cant fight two Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates at the same time. If this era belongs to him, then it should be completely dominated by him. The War of the Best, for Ross, will be the prelude to the next era! This era will really belong to him at that time! Robin, get our forces ready. Ross put down the newspaper and stared forward with a deep look. It wont be long before this world would be changed. Robin stood quietly and didnt ask anything. She could feel the chaos at this moment, which would erupt sometime in the future. After half a month. The Beast Pirate Regiment attacked the Whitebeard Pirate Regiment. The Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates fought against the Beast Pirates. The Marines stepped into the New World and confronted the Whitebeard Pirates and were repelled. Although Whitebeard lost to Ross and lost the strongest position in the world, as long as he is still alive, the Whitebeard Pirates cannot be easily destroyed. In just a few months. The New Worlds situation is rapidly changing and it can be said that successive wars have broken out, but one of the Yonko, the Ghost Hand Pirates stayed securely in Totto Landsea, gathered their forces in Totto Land and they did not step out of their own territory. No action was taken by Ross and no one dared to come to him to look for trouble, whether it was Marine or other Yonk (Four Emperors), even Kaido didnt want to fight Ross now. During this time, Ross did only one thing, that is, training. Training again and again and then training again. Most of his strength comes from the Talent System, so his strength still has a lot of room for growth, and he can go further. Before the annihilation of Katakuris consciousness, the system considered Ross to have killed Katakuri and he received 20 Talent Proficiency Points and the power of distortion increased slightly, reaching 840 points. The chaos of the New World came to an end after several battles. Neither the Beast Pirates nor Marine had any benefits. The sea was calm again, but under the calm, there was a dark tide forming. After that. Time began to pass and soon the 22nd year of the Great Age of Pirates arrived. The several battles that broke out in New World seemed to have become yesterdays news. The Whitebeard Pirates were in crisis and they got out of it. While peoples eyes remained on the Whitebeard incident, East Blue, one of the four seas, the weakest sea after the execution of Pirate King Roger, suddenly erupted with a huge accident that was unexpected to everyone. Beast attack! Thousands of beasts appeared in East Blue and attacked various Citytowns and countries. In just half a month, it caused numerous casualties and several countries were destroyed. The entire East Blue was in a state of chaos. Some of these beasts were ordinary while others were mutations caused by injecting special drugs into local beasts, each of these beasts had great strength and ordinary guns and artillery had little effect on them. After the Beast outbreak, the World Government was shaken! The beast attack did not happen suddenly, but there was a prelude, that is, the threat issued by Golden Lion Shiki to the World Government. The source of all of the chaos is one of the three legendary pirates that havent been seen for twenty years since he escaped from Impel Down. Golden Lion Shiki! Damn It! That Bastard! A Gorsei screamed when he heard this news. East Blue was the weakest sea and it is also one of the most stable sea ruled by the World Government, but now it is reduced to a paradise for beasts! This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to World Government rule! To appear at a time like this. Call the Shichibukai, we cant let this situation continue as it has, we need to stop it! After the emergency meeting of Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), they informed the Marine Headquarters on the one hand and demanded that Marines take immediate action and they also issued a Shichibukai summon that had not been seen for many years! Hawkeye Mihawk! Knight of the Sea (Kaiky) Jinbe! Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma! The Shichibukai received the World Governments emergency call order one by one as soon as possible and the concentration place was East Blue! On the other side. In Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was shocked when he received the news. After his initial anger, he immediately dispatched a large number of Battleships and combat power to East Blue. Garp, who has been in a semi-retired state, already rushed to East Blue in a Battleship as soon as he learned what has happened. East Blue is his hometown. If Foosha village is also attacked by beasts, will it be okay? Damn Bastard. Golden Lion Shiki! Standing at the forefront of the Battleship deck, Garp, with an expression of anxiety, was also clenching his fist at this moment and there was a trace of rare anger in his eyes. This time he was so angry that if he finds Golden Lion this time, he would tear him apart with his bare hands! CHAPTER 381 GOING TO EAST BLUE New World. Moby Dick. Whitebeard was sitting there with a bottle, looking at the newspaper, and saying to himself, Golden Lion after so many years of planning, you finally appeared? After Golden Lion escaped from Impel Down, he had come to drink with him once and said that he would disappear for a while, and there was no news of him for 20 years. Sabaody Archipelago. Somewhere in the bar, Dark King Rayleigh held the bottle and looked at the newspaper in his hand, his eyes were a little deep: Do you have to do this kind of thing at this time? Although Roger and Whitebeard often clash against each other, they can sometimes sit and drink together, but Golden Lion and Roger Pirates have always been enemies. Now Golden Lion is suddenly doing this kind of thing in East Blue, even with Rayleighs temperament, he is a little angry. If it wasnt for his age, he might go to East Blue. The first half of the Grand Line. Somewhere in the sea, a ghostly boat is following the waves. In front of the boat, there is a miserable scene. Countless ships and planks are scattered around. Countless corpses float on the sea. The flag hanging on the ship flag of East Blues Krieg Pirates. There was only one person on the boat. Greatest Swordsman in the World Hawkeye Mihawk! There was nothing to spend time on the sea and he happened to meet the fleet of the Krieg Pirates, who set foot on the Grand Line from East Blue and then he destroyed it. While Hawkeye was sitting in a small boat and continuing to pursue the last ship of the Krieg Pirates slowly, the Den Den Mushi in his pocket suddenly sounded. On the other side of Den Den Mushi was the World Government representative. After conveying Shichibukais emergency call order, he briefly described the specific situation. Golden Lion Shiki Hanging up Den Den Mushi, Hawkey showed a thoughtful look. Golden Lion, like Roger and Whitebeard, is a legendary pirate of the last era. When Golden Lion became famous in the sea, he was not the Greatest Swordsman in the World, just a little famous swordsman. Looking at the sea in the distance, Hawkeye took his boat and headed for East Blue. Although he has no problem with the World Governments Shichibukai convening order, he himself is going to the sea to pass the time, and it is not a problem to go there. Whats more, this Krieg ship seems to come from East Blue and Hawkey recalled the words of a pirate shouting that they are the strongest fleet of East Blue. Shichibukais emergency call. The massive operation by Marine was combined with the name Golden Lion Shiki, one of the three legendary pirates, a large number of pirate groups willing to follow Golden Lion. For a time. The eyes of the whole world are all gathered in East Blue! Sky Island Birka. Inside the palace. After the East Blue incident broke out, Ross naturally got the news as soon as it happened. After getting the news, his first reaction was that of being surprised. In his impression, Golden Lion is indeed engaged in some monster mutation, but it should not be this time and he was defeated by Luffy before he could launch his plan. Counting the time, Im afraid Luffy hasnt gone to sea for long now. Is it because of me? Ross showed a touch of thought. In fact, he guessed correctly, because he had a deep conflict with Golden Lion. After he defeated Whitebeard, Golden Lion was shocked and accelerated his plan, which was finally implemented one step ahead of schedule. The government has issued an emergency call for Shichibukai, and Marines have also dispatched a fleet. Garp is said to have rushed back to East Blue overnight. What are you going to do? Robin stood next to Ross and asked. Her tone was calm, but there was also a hint of coldness in this calmness. Obviously, Golden Lions act of making fierce beasts and slaughtering in East Blue made her very unhappy. Shichibukai are called? It looks like World Government is angry too. Ross shook his head and a flash of indifference flashed in his eyes as he said, But Golden Lion, I still have a bill to settle with him. He always had the subordinates intelligence team looking for Golden Lion, but because the Golden Lion flies in the sky all the year-round, ten thousand meters high, unless he takes the initiative to expose himself, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and no one can find him at all. Right now. Golden Lion appeared in East Blue. In this case, Ross naturally has to go to Golden Lion to settle accounts in person. Today, Ross often regards the world as his own possession. The fact that Golden Lion went to East Blue to slaughter wantonly was an unpleasant thing for Ross, and his previous hatred with Golden Lion was still unresolved. After Ross made his decision, he stood up and said to Robin: Call Issho. Yes. Robin nodded and took out a Den Den Mushi to inform Fujitora. Ross doesnt plan to bring Robin this time to East Blue, Shichibukais convening order plus Marines large-scale dispatch, Garp, and Revolutionary Army Leader Dragon which may also be in East Blue. Although Robins strength is also good, in the presence of Hawkeye, Tyrant Kuma, and Marine Admiral, she still has a lot of weakness and does not have the ability to protect herself. The purpose of this trip to East Blue is to personally end the Golden Lion Shiki. It is the best choice to bring the powerful and capable Fujitora. The only trouble was that after taking Fujitora to East Blue, Shiliew of the Rain had no one who can suppress him in Totto Land, but Ross didnt think Shiliew of the Rain would dare to defy his orders. Speaking of which, this time is really unfortunate. The Straw Hat Pirates directly entered the hell mode of the game. Thinking of Luffy, Ross couldnt help laughing. The beast raid, coupled with Marines large fleet, and the emergency call of Seven Warlords of the Sea, this East Blue situation is nothing less than the outbreak of top war! You need to know that the Luffy group at this moment cant even set foot on the Grand Line. If they are unlucky, it is possible for them to die in East Blue. Straw Hats? Robin had already informed Fujitora and was puzzled when she heard Rosss words. Ross thought that the Straw Hat Pirates had no fame and was unknown and said: Well, it is a little pirate group with a little fame, but Captain of this small pirate gang is the grandson of Garp, and the cook on the ship is Reijus brother Sanji. Robin heard that and couldnt help become surprised, and said, Garps grandson became a pirate? Ross didnt care: His son is the leader of the Revolutionary Army. Robin was stunned this time as she said, Dragon is Garps son?! Seeing Robins amazement, Ross realized that this intelligence had not been revealed. Except for a few people such as Dragon and Garp, even Ivankov did not know this. Yes. Ross nodded said, You should be able to find some clues if you go into the details. CHAPTER 382 3 BIG INFLUENCE East Blue. Somewhere on the sea, a small sailboat was sailing downwind with six men on board. Do you really plan to go to Grand Line with five people? Sanji smoked a cigarette and looked at Luffy. Luffy stretched his waist and smiled, Ah, I want to bring Nami back soon, and then set off immediately. Although Nami snatched Going Merry and ran away, he had long decided that Nami would be his navigator. Dont underestimate the sea so much. Sanji glanced back. Although he didnt know much about Grand Line, he was still more aware of its terribleness than Luffy. Luffy held his chin and said, If we are all together, then there is no problem going to the Grand Line because it is a paradise there. Paradise? Its the pirate graveyard. Sanji said strangely. Luffy smiled and said, That Old Boss told me when I left the restaurant that some people call the Grand Line a Paradise! Just as Luffy laughed, there was a creepy voice from Zoros younger brother Johnny. Youre so naive Big Brother! Johnnys forehead was stained with perspiration as he looked at Luffy and others with innocence: You guys dont know Grand Line, so this time, if you know something about it, brother Zoro will come back with us! Its time to eat, Sanji, cook something for me. Luffy stretched his back and ignored Johnnys words. Johnny stared. Listen to me! Do you know why the Grand Line is called the pirate graveyard? Because there are three major forces there, one of which is Seven Warlords of the Sea! Shichibukai? Luffy and others couldnt help looking at him when they heard this. Johnny put a finger up and solemnly said: Yes, they are seven pirates recognized by the World Government. Shichibukai can plunder towns and other pirates not related to World Government alliances, although they are called World Government running dogs. But they are strong! The Hawkey who defeated Brother Zoro was one of Seven Warlords of the Sea! Zoro leaned against the edge of the ships board, and his eyes flickered slightly. It didnt take long for his injury to be dealt with, but because his vitality was strong enough, a shallow layer had formed under the bandage. Are there as many as six people as strong as Hawkeye?! Usopp was startled, and he couldnt help showing his horror-filled face. Johnnys forehead was stained with sweat, saying: This is just one of the three forces, and the other one is the Marine Headquarters! Everyone at the scene had dealt with Marines to a greater or lesser degree. Luffy had also defeated a Marine Captain with Zoro before, and they were not too surprised to hear it. Johnny took a look at Luffy and others and took a deep breath and said with a very depressed expression: And in addition to Shichibukai and Marines, the third remaining force is Yonk (Four Emperors)! Johnny, who is a Pirate Hunter is more professional at his job than Zoro, who just hunt pirates to eat food because he was lost and had no money. There is no doubt that he is more professional and has a better understanding of the major forces and pirates of this sea. Yonk (Four Emperors)? Sanji spit out smoke. Johnny Shen said: Yes, those are the four most terrible pirates in the world. Even the World Government and Marines have no way to take them on and those who provoke them. They all die with miserable endings. They are so powerful that they can rule a sea, like Emperor, so they are called Yonk (Four Emperors)! Amazing. Luffy was a little excited when he heard Johnnys words, and said, Its decided, well set off right after we get Nami back! Puff! Johnny almost spits out blood, and he wanted to stab Luffys head to see what was inside of it. Hey! Do you know how terrifying Yonk (Four Emperors) is? The legend is that Kaido has an undead body, and that Ghost Hand, his strength is recognized as the strongest in the world Lets eat dinner! Luffy ignored Johnnys words and stood up with a little excitement and walked towards the cabin, while Zoro and others took a look and followed him into the cabin. This is Cocoyasi Village, located northwest of East Blue, also Namis hometown, and it is currently being ruled by Arlong Pirates. A small ship is slowly sailing towards this island. On the ship, two figures sat opposite to each other. One of them held a wooden staff and his eyes were closed tightly. There were two scars on his eyes, while the other person looked flat and leaned against the side of the ship. Well, we dont seem to be late, there hasnt been an attack here. As the island was getting closer and closer, Ross stood up and looked in the direction of Cocoyasi Village. He released his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki and it was easy for him to determine that the village had not been attacked by any beast. Due to the large scope of East Blue, even though Golden Lion raised the banner of Flying Pirates and recruited a large number of pirate regiments, it was still not enough for his slaughter plan to cover the entire East Blue. The mutant beasts started from the southwest of East Blue, and this Cocoyasi Village was in the ??northwest sea. Golden Lions plan is to create fear through massacre, which will deter the World Government and he would be able to rule the entire East Blue before expanding to other seas. Ross knows from various intelligence that a sea area not far from Cocoyasi Village has fallen, and Cocoyasi Village is likely to be the next target of Golden Lion. Golden Lion can fly in the sky and no one can find him but since he is going to launch an attack here, it is impossible for him to hide in the sky all the time, after all, he has to show himself. Ross doesnt plan to go to the sky to look around. Since Golden Lions plan is to rule East Blue, and this Cocoyasi Village is already his next goal, he just needs to stay here and wait for him to show himself. The government and Marine would also know the intelligence we have acquired. Fujitora sat on the ships side and slowly said with his staff in his hand. Ross didnt care: It doesnt matter if they know, Im only going to settle an old account with Golden Lion this time. If they dare to come in for trouble then they can only blame themselves. Speaking of which, a faint flash of light flashed in Ross eyes and the Haki which belonged to Yonk (Four Emperors), the worlds strongest appeared for a moment. What about Shichibukai, and what about Marine Admiral? He is looking for Golden Lion to settle accounts. Whoever dares to step in, they would be dealt with! Still domineering as always. Fujitora smiles. He was not very clear about the grudge between Ross and Golden Lion, but just looking at Ross attitude, he knew that it must be revenge, and there was no need to ask why. Furthermore, the massacre of Golden Lion in East Blue and the creation of the terrifying beasts also made Fujitora unhappy, so when he learned that Ross was going to East Blue and asked him to follow, he immediately came. Uh uh? Ross smiled and his Haki dissipated for a moment, but at this moment, he suddenly glanced at the ship in the distance, and could not help but become surprised. That ship is Going Merry? Chapter 383 Who Is Arlong? Ross didnt know what stage Luffy and others journey had taken and didnt deliberately ask the intelligence team to inquire about it, because now East Blue is in chaos, it is difficult to say whether the route of Luffy and others has been affected. However, this Cocoyasi Village is Namis hometown, he is still very clear, so it is not surprising to encounter Going Merry here. Both ships sail along the coast of Cocoyasi Village. Ross did not deliberately manipulate the current to increase the speed of his ship, so Going Merry sailed a little faster, and gradually approached the ship that Ross and Fujitora were riding on. Almost immediately after Rosss ship docked, Going Merry also docked. When Ross and Fujitora stepped off the ship, a figure on Going Merry also jumped off the ship, with short orange hair, no doubt it was Nami. Now 18 years old, she has a perfect figure that is only a little inferior to Robin. The orange short hair adds to her beauty. Hey! You two! Immediately after Nami jumped off the ship, she shouted at Ross and Fujitora, Who are you? What are you doing here? Cocoyasi Village occasionally has outsiders, but once they are known by the fisherman, they will come to snatch all the money they have and throw them into the sea. Having seen such miserable scenes many times, Nami naturally would not sit idly by. Ross glanced at Nami and chuckled: We are just passing by here, we are going to get something to eat and take a break before going. Nami had already guessed that Ross and Fujitora were passing by. Hearing Ross words, she immediately put on a cold face, saying: Foreigners are not welcome here. Hurry up and get out of here! Ross was slightly shocked at this but he saw that Nami was alone on the ship, it was likely that she had taken Luffys ship, which means that the island is currently ruled by the fisherman Arlong. In this case, Namis attitude is also normal. Fujitora, holding a wooden staff, stood beside Ross and said, Is this your territory? We are sorry to bother you. Seeing Fujitoras kind attitude and normal tone without any anger in it even though she has spoken harshly. He was blind, and Nami was determined not to let the two honest people in front of her be persecuted by Arlong. Do you know who Arlong is? Nami showed a cold and arrogance look and said, This is the territory of Arlong Pirates. There is no place to rest here. If you dont want to die here, just leave! Arlong? Fujitora scratched his head, a little confused, and said, Im so sorry, I am a little ignorant, I wonder who this Arlong is? Seeing that Fujitora didnt even know who Arlong was, Nami was even more sure that the two of them had come here unintentionally, otherwise, it would not have been possible for them to run so boldly. Its not important for you to hear it. You just need to know that staying here will be life-threatening. Leave, dont blame me for not reminding you! Nami said as she walked up the island. With such intimidation, the two should leave consciously, she thought so. This Arllong seems to be someone strong. After Namis back disappeared from the view, Fujitora turned to look at Ross. Ross smirked as he nodded and said: Yes, he is well-known in this area, he has a bounty of 20 Million Berries. Fujitora said with smirk: I forgot it was East Blue. This is so embarrassing, this Arlong sounded like Shichibukai Hawkeye-level characters, but in the end, his bounty cant even match a Shichibukais men. This Arlong actually has a little bit of history. Ross smiled and said, Before, like Jinbe, he was a member of the Sun Pirates. Later, when the Fisher Tiger died, he and Jinbe parted ways. Ohh. Hearing Jinbes name, Fujitora nodded. Knight of the Sea (Kaiky) Jinbe, one of Shichibukais, is indeed someone strong. Since this Arlong has this connection with Jinbe, he would not be a nameless person. Lets go. Lets go to Island. Ross walked towards the interior of the island. Although it is likely that this will be the next attack area of ??Golden Lion, he will not wait here. Fujitora thought of Namis cold voice before letting them leave here, and could not help but shake his head and followed Ross and walked deeper into the island. Arlong Park. After warning Ross and Fujitora, Nami came all the way to here. Oh, you came back, you have been out for so long this time, whats the harvest this time? Arlong was sitting on a deck chair and he saw Nami walk into the park and grinned at her. If he calculates, Nami should have saved up 100 million berries. He would not let go of such a good navigator, but he did not intend to break his promise, so he had to think of a way to control Nami without breaking his promise. Nami didnt know what Arlong was thinking. After working hard for so long, she had saved 100 million Berries, and her goal of redeeming Cocoyasi Village is about to be achieved. With this in mind, she feels slightly sadder for Luffy and others. Just as Arlong grinned and smiled and as he prepared to have a banquet, a loud roar suddenly came from outside the Arlong Park. Roar! This roar, Buzz! Nami was shocked and she almost fell straight down, only to feel a buzz in her head, she could not help covering her ears, revealing a hint of horror, not knowing what is happening. What happened?! Arlongs face also changed and he was also shocked by this voice and he suddenly stood up. The Fishman all around looked at each other and no one knows what happened. That Boss Arlong, I seemed to have heard from that Captain Nezumi that there are beasts in the nearby sea, and they have also attacked several islands Beast? Arlong snorted, and said, What fierce beasts, us Fishmans are the real fierce beasts. Come with me, we will be eating this beast meat tonight! Almost as Arlong finished speaking and when he was going to go outside, the wall of Arlong Park has smashed apart and a silver-backed giant ape with a shape of five or six meters smashed into the wall and came in. Ah! The wall was smashed and Nami screamed and ran away to the other side of the Arlong Park. Seeing that the wall of the Arlong Park was smashed into a piece, Arlong was furious. When he looked at the silver-backed great ape, a cold light appeared in his eyes. How dare you break in here Whiz! He walked towards the silver-backed great ape. Chapter 384 Bartholomew Kuma The Silverback Great Ape roared and waved a huge fist at Arlong. Arlong also punched back with a cold look on his face. Boom! Two fists collided, and a muffled sound broke out. Everyone on Arlong Park saw a change in Arlongs complexion. After a stalemate for a second, Arlongs figure was pushed back by several steps! Boss Arlong! How is this possible Seeing this, the nearby Fishman couldnt help showing an unbelievable look. The Fishmans punch power is ten times stronger than that of humans, and Arlong is the best among them. The bounty of 20 Million Berries is not in line with the real strength of Arlong. How can he be repelled by a mere beast! Where did this beast come from? !! How come, Arlong was Nami, who was not far away, watched this scene with a look of shock on her face, she did not expect that Arlong would be pushed back. Even Arlong cant seem to beat this beast! Under the eyes of everyone, he was repelled by the Silverback Giant Ape and finally, Arlongs face finally showed rage and he rushed towards the Silverback Giant Ape with an angry roar. After avoiding the Silverback Great Apes punch, he snapped on the Silverback Apes legs, his sharp teeth pierced the fur and he tried to tear off a piece of meat. However. The Tenacious muscles of the Silverback Great Ape were beyond his imagination. Arlong tried to bite a bit, but he could only tear out a small piece of meat. Compared with the huge size of the Silverback Great Ape, this small piece of meat is nothing. His leg was bitten on by Arlong and the Silverback Giant Ape was completely furious. He angrily slapped Arlong causing Arlong to fly out and hit the wall. This Nami, who was hiding in the corner was shocked in her heart as she watched this scene. In her eyes, Arlong, who was almost invincible, was getting beaten up by a gorilla! Boss Arlong! When several nearby Fishman saw this scene, they all exclaimed, and took out their respective weapons, surrounding the Silverback Giant Ape. But before they could act, a roar suddenly came from outside Arlong Park and the already broken wall was cut into countless pieces! A Giant Praying Mantis, roughly the size of the Silverback Ape, showed his figure. There is a second one! Seeing this Giant Praying Mantis, everyones face changed dramatically. Just from one look, everyone can tell that this Praying Mantis would not be easy to deal with and the its power would not be any worse than of the Silverback Great Ape! When all the Fishman were feeling a little panicked, a white cobweb suddenly fell from the sky, instantly blocking a corner of Arlong Park. They saw a black spider about the same size as Praying Mantis and the Great Ape, walked in directly from the wall, and it looked creepy and scary! Gulp! Someone on the scene swallowed their saliva. This group of Fishman, who usually consider themselves above mere humans, were feeling panicked at this moment. This In the corner, Nami, who was a little bit scared because of Arlong being blasted by the Silverback Giant Ape, finally came back to herself in this moment. After looking at this scene, her face changed dramatically. Arlong and Arlong Pirates would be defeated, but what would happen afterwards? In the eyes of these monsters, they are probably just food. Although Arlong is hateful, he has not slaughtered the entire population of Cocoyasi Village. But if these monsters occupy this place, it will be countless times worse than that of Arlong! Namis forehead overflowed with cold sweat. Thinking of the seriousness of the problem, she could not help biting her teeth, and her thoughts flashed quickly, thinking about how to solve the current problem. But these are the monsters that even Arlong cant deal with, how can she think of a way to deal with them, no matter how much she thinks, she cant think of a way. The Silverback Great Ape growls and charged towards Arlong, who was flown by it. Arlong took a bite out of his leg and the Silverback Great Ape hadnt forgotten it. Bang! Bang! Bang! Arlong, who was followed by the Silverback Great Ape, was hit hard by the Silverback Great Ape. At the same time, other Fishman were also fighting the Praying Mantis and the Spider Monster. After a few brawls, they all screamed and were defeated. The entire Arlong Park is already in a mess, the walls on all sides have been shattered, and the three monsters are running wild around here. What should I do Looking at this scene, Nami didnt feel the pleasure from the fact that the Arlong Pirates were defeated. Instead, her heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley. Just then, Ross and Fujitora appeared in the distance. Is that a creature made by Golden Lion? It really is fierce. Fujitora released his Observation Haki and perceived the three monsters, and couldnt help but say. He put his hand on the handle of the staff. However. Ross waved his hand to stop him, saying, This Arlong Pirate group is not a good thing. Let them fight first. Hearing Ross words, Fujitoras raised hand dropped down. At this time, Nami, who was scared also found Ross and Fujitora. Did these two people take her warning as a sideshow, they came here and the key is that the situation is worse than even she had expected! Why are you two still here! Nami opened her mouth at Ross and Fujitora as she walked towards them, gritting her teeth, Get out of here if you dont want to die! When Fujitora was about to say something, Ross spoke first: Dont worry, I wont die here yet. Nami was almost stunned by Rosss words. Is this person crazy? Cant he see the three terrifying monsters here? And just when she wanted to say something, a scream came and she couldnt help looking at that direction where the scream came from and she immediately saw a scene that made her tremble. She saw. Arlong, the Fishman getting caught by the Silverback Giant Ape and with a scream, he was torn in half by the Silverback Giant Ape! This scene scared her so much that she turned pale. This is the end its over Even Arlong was torn apart by the terrifying monster. Who else on this island can stop these monsters? However. Just when she was trembling, Ross and Fujitora next to her seemed to be aware of something at the same time, and looked up in one direction. They were looking in the location of the Praying Mantis monster. At this moment, it had shredded two Fishman into several halves with its sharp sickle blades and treated them as fish, stuffing them in its mouths to eat. But. This is the final action taken by this monster. A weird force suddenly hit Praying Mantis head, making it suddenly stop and its head exploded! Praying Mantiss body trembled and fell down. In front of its body, a figure appeared. It was a man nearly seven meters tall, wearing black and white clothes, holding a book in his arms. Ugh? Nami stared at this scene. She looked dumbfounded at the figure holding the book, her eyes were so wide that they might have fallen out of their sockets, that Giant Praying Mantis monster was killed by this person? Tyrant, Bartholomew Kuma. Ross, standing next to her, whispered this persons identity. Now that the government has convened the Shichibukai, the Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma is naturally among the ones who responded and his speed and strength are beyond doubt. Ross was not surprised that he rushed here so fast. CHAPTER 385 NAMI’S SHOCK Bartholomew Kuma(Bear)? Nami, who was standing next to Ross, heard Ross words and with a hint of shock on her face, she turned her head slightly to look at Ross. Ross said: He is one of the pirates that have become the subordinates of the World Government, he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and use of one of Paramecias Devil Fruit. The palms of his hands are said to be able to repel everything, including air. Before he became a Seven Warlords of the Sea, he had a bounty of 296 Million Berries! 296 Million Berries? !! Nami felt dizzy and her heart tremored. She didnt know much about Seven Warlords of the Sea, but what is the concept of the 296 Million Berries? The bounty of the Fishman Arlong is only 20 Million Berries, this persons bounty is ten times of that! After killing the Praying Mantis monster, Bartholomew Kuma turned to look at the other two monsters. His body flickered and his figure suddenly disappeared. When it appeared again, he was already in front of the Silverback Giant Ape. Because the monster is very dangerous, he didnt intend to be merciful, he raised his bears paw-like hand and slapped it on the head of the Silverback Giant Ape. Buzz !! A shock wave suddenly erupted and the head of the Silverback Giant Ape was torn apart by Bartholomew Kumas slap, and its entire body was sunken down and embedded in the ground. Immediately afterward, his body flickered again, and he came to the front of the spider monster. With a push of the palm of his hand, there was a bears paw-like impact in the air, which ran through the body of the spider monster in an instant. The spider shook for some time and stopped moving. From the appearance of the Tyrant Bear to the killing of three mutant monsters, it took only a few seconds. Nami in the distance looked at this scene and felt her mind go blank. After killing the three monsters, Bartholomew Kuma didnt detect the existence of Ross and Fujitora and he turned his head to look behind the broken Arlong Park. So its you, Bartholomew Kuma. A man with a red nose and a wine gourd came out from the direction Bartholomew Kuma was looking at and that person seemed to know the Tyrant Bear and spoke without showing any fear. Bartholomew Kuma looked at that person blankly and said in a gentle tone: Have you partnered with Golden Lion? Vasco Shot. Not far away. The shock in Namis heart eased a little, she looked at Vasco Shot who was confronting Bartholomew Kuma and could not help showing a look of suspicion. Who is that person ? Vasco Shot. Rosss eyes narrowed as he looked at Vasco Shot. He had a little impression of this person. He should be a member of the future Blackbeard Pirates, but right now he should be detained on the Sixth Floor, Eternal Hell in Impel Down. Ross thought that this person and many others may have escaped from Impel Down at the time of his own escape. Now he seemed to have joined Golden Lion. Vasco Shot? Namis eyes were suspicious, and her tone was filled with doubt. Ross didnt know much about Vasco Shot, but he didnt expect that Fujitora next to him knew a lot and took over the conversation. The fierce wicked pirate has slaughtered many people in several towns because of his drunkenness more than a decade ago. There is a 400 Million Berries bounty on his head, but Marine had arrested this person and put him in prison. Fujitora held the handle of the staff blade and there was a hint of doubt on his face. 400 Million Berries! Namis heart was shaking again. What kind of monsters these people are, there is someone with a bounty of 400 Million Berries, what kind of joke is that! She has always wanted to save One Hundred Million Berries to buy Cocoyasi Village from the Fishman Arlong, and it took her ten years to do so, but the two people in front of her, any one of them are worth far more than One Hundred Million Berries! You will not succeed in your purpose. Where is Golden Lion? Bartholomew Kuma didnt say much but instead vowed at Vasco smoothly. Vasco took off the gourd on his back and he grinned and said, Do you think Ill tell you so easily? Bartholomew Kuma was silent, then he took off his gloves. Vasco hesitated and said, I heard that you have become Seven Warlords of the Sea these years. I dont know if your strength has improved a little compared to before. Buzz !! At the next moment, Bartholomew Kuma rushed towards Vasco with his palm in front of him and the ability of the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi fruit was launched, and a bear-like shock wave was instantly launched into the air. Vasco had no fear and punched back. Bang! The impact collided with his fist, and a heavy sound came out instantly. The air rippled and a terrifying power wrapped in a terrifying air, swept away in all directions. Oh! The airwaves formed by the aftermath of this confrontation surged in, and Nami, who was standing on the ground far away became unstable and stood backward. After taking five or six steps back in a row, she finally couldnt maintain her balance and fell backward but she didnt fell down and accidentally bumped into Rosss chest. Ross reached out to hold Namis body and let her regain her balance. This, what is this, are they still human?! Nami, who was standing still, was still shocked as she looked towards Bartholomew Kuma and Vasco in the confrontation. Bang! Bang! Bang! The Bang sound kept blasting in the field. Vasco, who had been imprisoned for many years made no improvement in his strength. H is not Kumas opponent. After more than a dozen moves, he has already fallen into a disadvantage. Tell me the whereabouts of Golden Lion, you cant win against me. Bartholomew Kuma flickered behind Vasco and slapped him before asking about Golden Lion in an emotionless voice. Vasco also did not expect that he would no longer be a match for Bartholomew Kuma, but how could he give up at this time, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he continued to charge into the Tyrant Bear. The aftermath of the fierce fighting between the two continues to erupt. Nami, who was standing and watching in the distance, looked shocked again and again, and only felt that there was some blankness in her mind. Compared with Bartholomew Kuma, Arlong was like a miscellaneous fish! While shocked, Nami suddenly thought of the villagers of Cocoyasi Village, and could not help but become horrified. Wha..! What about everyone! I I have to tell everyone to run away, and you two should also leave here as soon as possible. Nami said nervously and worriedly and then ran towards the village. However, Ross stopped her and said, Do you want the villagers to leave this island? I dont recommend you to do this, because there may be many mutant beasts in the sea. So what should I do?! Nami panicked for a moment. Ross calmly said: Dont panic, I dont think the villagers will come to this site and as long as they stay away from the Battle Center, there will be no problem. Listening to Rosss analysis, Nami relaxed a little and looked at Ross a little differently while thinking where is Rosss confident come from for him to remain so calm in this situation. CHAPTER 386 AOKIJI APPEARS And just as Bartholomew Kuma fought fiercely against Vasco. A dazzling sword energy suddenly burst into the air, hitting Vascos body, wrapped in a power that seemed to be able to cut off everything, it was irresistible! Sii! Vascos complexion changed, and he turned his entire body sideways to avoid the dangerous sword energy, but his cheek was still scratched by the sword energy and a bloodstain appeared on his face. This terrifying sword energy continued forward, splitting the fragmented of Arlong Park from the center, and spreading all the way to the end of sight! Ahhhh! Nami screamed in horror and she was so scared that she almost jumped as the line swept by the sword energy was only ten meters away from where she stood. Until the sword energy completely disappeared at the end of the line of sight, Nami looked at the abyss-like gully where the earth was cut off and her voice was trembling as she asked. This whats this?! She looked in the direction where the sword energy came from and in that direction, she saw a man in a black trench coat with a ceremonial hat on his head, he was holding a large Black Blade (Kokut) in his hand as he stood there quietly. Ross glanced at this new arrival and said, That guy is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, The Greatest Swordsman in the World, Hawkeye Mihawk! The world the Greatest Swordsman in the world?! When Nami heard Ross words, she just felt her heart trembling. Although she didnt know anything about Sword but for someone to be able to claim the position of the Greatest Swordsman in the World is undoubtedly the most terrifying existence on this sea! What the hell is going on today, why are these terrifying guys appearing one by one in Cocoyasi Village! Nami felt dizzy. After Vasco dodged his first attack, Hawkeye did not attack a second time and he calmly put the Black Blade (Kokut) on his back. Hawkeye It is naturally impossible for Vasco to not know Hawkeye. He is no longer as relaxed as before and cold sweat spilled from his forehead as she said, Two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea appeared here? Although the Tyrant Bear is powerful, if there is only one person, he may be able to defeat him, but if Hawkeye is added to the situation then the problem will be serious! And just as Vascos face sank, a voice suddenly came from a distance. Hawkeye I didnt expect you to respond to the World Governments call. They saw a man with a Western sword hanging from his waist coming from a distance, he had a wicked smile on his lips as he stared at Hawkeye. Hawkeye turned to look at him. Abbate Skjod Law. Do you know me? Skjod Law smiled in a strange way. Hawkeye looked at him and said calmly, It would be strange for me to not know you. Im very interested in Golden Lions plan, so I plan to cooperate with him. If you want to destroy our plan, I can only fight against you. Skjod Law said as he pulled out his sword. Far away. Fujitora stared at Skjod Law from afar, leaning on a wooden staff, and saying: Pirate Hunter, Abbate Skjod Law, has he also joined Golden Lion? Abbate Skjod Law? Nami stood aside, faintly feeling that she was about to hear another extraordinary characters information with a strange name again. As expected. At the next moment, Ross calmly said, Pirate Hunter Abbate Skjod Law, who once hunted a pirate with a bounty of 430 Million Berries, he is the strongest Pirate Hunter swordsman, I did not expect him to join Golden Lion. Namis head was dizzy for a while, and she couldnt help but ask again, Then who is that Golden Lion? Ross glanced at her and said: He is one of the three legendary pirates before the Great Age of Pirates who stood with Roger and Whitebeard Edward Newgate. They fought each other countless times and he also pushed the King of Pirates Roger into a corner once. Nami felt that her heart wouldnt be able to bear it anymore. And just as Ross voice fell, Hawkey in the field looked at Skjod Law and pulled out the Black Blade (Kokut) from his back again and said: Im not interested in your plans. Well, then its my pleasure to fight you. Skjod Law, as a swordsman, naturally had the idea of challenging ??Hawkeye, the Greatest Swordsman in the World. At this moment, holding the handle of the sword, a sharpness appeared in his eyes, and the sword in his hand fluttered. Buzz !! A black coat of sword energy flew out of the sky, like a thunderbolt cutting through the void. Hawkeye swept his sword and the brilliant sword energy swept across, colliding with the black sword energy in the air, and a loud Bang erupted. Sii! Sii! Sii! The two sword energy meet in the air and eventually exploded, turning into countless tiny sword energy splashing in all directions, cutting the earth. Nami made another terrifying cry as the ground that was less than three meters away from her was cut into two deep trenches by the broken sword energy! Ross stood there while frowning slightly. He has been using his Observation Haki to search the Golden Lion, but until now, Golden Lion has shown no signs of showing up. Bang! Bang! The fierce confrontation between the four men in the battlefield continues, the Tyrant Bear and Hawkeye were obviously better than their opponent, after a brief confrontation, they slowly began to suppress their opponents. The battle of the four people is earth-shaking. Arlong Park has long been reduced to broken ruins that cant be broken again. In other words, Its completely gone. Looking at the four men and the huge aftermath that erupted with each of their attacks, spreading in all directions, Nami just felt herself go numb. And just as the fierce fight was going on. Cold air suddenly came from afar, and a figure appeared at the end of their line of sight wearing the Justice Cloak of Marine Justice, riding a bicycle towards this side. Where the wheels of the bicycle rolled over, the ground condensed into ice, and the ditch-filled ground was filled with ice, making the ride extremely smooth. Who is this time again Nami was a little numb at this point and she just asked with an almost dead voice. She felt like she a small stray fish stuck between a group of sharks. Looking at these sharks one by one, she was filled with a deep sense of weakness. She has already considered Hawkeye and others as monsters, and she doesnt even want to consider them as normal humans, but fortunately, there are two more normal people beside her. Marine Headquarters Admiral, Aokiji. Ross watched the silhouette that was riding on the bike and calmly spoke. This introduction was rare and short, but it made Namis mouth twitch a bit. The highest-ranking officer she had ever seen was just a Rear Admiral. What is an Admiral? Ahhhhh, I was slow. Aokiji rode his bicycle and stopped not far away, he scratched his head and parked the bicycle on the ice and headed for the battlefield. Aokiji didnt plan to let the Tyrant Bear and others fight alone. Now that Golden Lion has caused too much trouble and it must be resolved as soon as possible, or he wont be able to explain it to the Marine Headquarters or the World Government. After taking a few steps forward, he pressed his hands to the ground. Ice Age! CHAPTER 387 DID THEY KNOW? Kch! The ground touched by Aokijis palms instantly condensed into ice which began to spread in all directions and the broken Arlong Park turned into an Ice Sculpture in the blink of an eye. This ice spread at an incredible speed and it also caught the flaws exposed by Vasco in his fight with Tyrant Bear and instantly froze half of his body on the ground. Nami was numb looking at the scene. Her face was completely expressionless. She looked at Ross and Fujitora next to her. Seeing that Ross and Fujitora were equally expressionless, she recovered from the sense of detachment from reality. Damn! Vasco had long noticed the arrival of Aokiji, but he was entangled by the Tyrant Bear, and he could not respond at all. His body was frozen at this moment and he immediately used Armament Haki to break the ice, but Tyrant Bears palm pressed against his chest. Buzz !! A shocking wave entered his body. Blood spit from Vascos mouth and his blood splattered on the ice, leaving a bright red color on the white surface and he was feeling powerless. I didnt expect you to be here, Vasco, it was really hard for you to escape from the Impel Down, what are you doing here? Aokiji walked towards Vasco and scratched his head, he suddenly remembered something and said, Golden Lion had caused a lot of trouble. Can you tell me when he will come over? Hmm Vasco lost his ability to resist but he still laughed. So, you are thinking that Golden Lion will come here? Let me tell you something, he wont come. Aokiji frowned when he heard Vascos words. Can you tell me, where is he now? Well, he is in the sky. Vasco grinned and smiled before licking his lips, and said, As for his specific location, I dont know. You cant ask any more questions. Aokiji frowned and turned to look at Skjod Law who was fighting Hawkey. He didnt believe Vascos words, so he walked towards Skjod Law, and also hit him with Ice Age. Hawkeye frowned slightly when Aokiji interfered with his Battle, but he didnt say anything, and he eventually put the Black Blade (Kokut) back on his back. Aokiji froze half of Skjod Laws body, rendering him powerless. Has it become a trend for Pirate Hunters to become Pirates? This is really distressing. Aokiji rubbed his eyebrows and when he saw Skjod Law, he thought of other things and felt a headache coming in and he questioned Skjod Law with a severe tone. Skjod Law is also fearless. Although his voice is weak, his tone still has a hint of evil in it and he gives the same answer as Vasco. They were just sent down by Golden Lion. Golden Lions Flying Pirates base camp is a few islands floating in the air at a height of 10,000 meters. These islands will move back and forth in the sky without a fixed position. It will be difficult now. Aokiji looked at Skjod Law and Vasco, he rubbed his brows as the headache that was coming has finally settled on his head. Capturing Skjod Law and Vasco would be great merit in normal times, but the core of everything now lies in Golden Lion, and it will be useless without capturing Golden Lion. Hawkeye and Tyrant Bear didnt bother to interfere. They both planned to leave, Hawkeye was standing there with his sword on his back and the other was standing with a book in the distance and watching coldly. And just then. Ross, who was standing a few hundred meters away with Nami and Fujitora, shook his head. It looks like I cant count on the Marines, I have to torture the information out. As he spoke, Ross walked forward. Nami was in a state of numbness, and when she saw Ross suddenly walking in the direction of Aokiji and others, she was shocked and couldnt help but say: Hey, you what are you doing? Ill see if I can ask for some valuable information. Ross said something without looking back and continued to move forward. When Nami heard Rosss words, she couldnt help but widen her eyes and said, Are you crazy?! There are all monsters over there! Ha ha ha, dont worry. Fujitora stood beside with a smile on his face, feeling Namis nervous expression as she seemed to want to step forward to hold Ross, he interrupted her movements and said: Nothing will happen to him. Nami panicked. How could he be fine! You cant see, you dont know what kind of monsters those guys are! While Nami was trying to pull Ross, the expressions of Aokiji, Hawkeye, Tyrant Bear, and other people present changed at almost the same time. Everyones eyes came together as they looked in one direction. Ohh? When they saw Rosss figure, whether it was Hawkeye or Aokiji, almost all of them showed a hint of shock on their faces. What surprised them wasnt Ross being here, but how did Ross appear? In their perception, Ross seemed to pop out abruptly, without showing any signs or movements! Immediately afterwards, their eyes turned to Fujitora and Nami, who appeared from nothing behind Ross. If only Ross appeared alone, they could explain it with his strength, but now three people suddenly appeared, and there was no trajectory of their path at all, that is to say, the only way for Ross to appear so abruptly is if Ross and the other two stood there from the beginning, and none of them noticed! When this thought popped in their head. Whether it is Hawkeye or Aokiji, their faces changed and a variety of expressions appeared on their faces because the situation they thought was too terrifying! Hawkeye always wanted to find a chance to see how much gap there was between himself and Ross, but what happened right now made him remain silent. Ghost Hand Aokiji stared at Ross and his whole body turned into ice, and he was already in the highest level of alertness. Even if Hawkeye and Tyrant Bear are here, he cant relax in the slightest, not to mention that he doesnt know if Shichibukai like Hawkeye and Tyrant Bear will fight Ross. Even if Hawkeye and Tyrant Bear do fight with him, there is another one over there. Ghost Hand Pirates First Division Captain! Fujitoras strength is beyond doubt! As for the woman next to Fujitora, she seems to be an ordinary person in their perception, but staying with Fujitora and Ross, she is probably not an ordinary person and she may be a person with some weird ability. At this time. Nami, standing next to Fujitora, has already thought of something. Even if she is stupid, she realized that the situation was somewhat wrong. Aokiji and Hawkeye and others seem to know Ross clearly, and especially the Marine Admiral, Aokiji, who is looking at Ross like he was an enemy! They recognized him?! Naturally. A voice came from behind Nami, answering Namis question. They saw the third Shichibukai, Knight of the Sea (Kaiky) Jinbe appeared in the back as he walked slowly towards this side, he glanced at Nami and said strangely: Do you not know? Because the Fishman Island has become Rosss territory, Jinbe also often deals with Ghost Hand Pirates, and his relationship with Fujitora is even very good. Seeing Nami standing next to Fujitora, he subconsciously thought that Nami was a member of the Ghost Hand Pirates, but now it seems that something is not right. What do you mean? Namis eyes were blank. Although Jinbe felt strange, he still replied: He is one of the Yonk (Four Emperors), how could anyone not know him. Nami asked weakly, What is Yonk (Four Emperors) ? Jinbes lips twitched. He had roughly guessed that this woman was not a member of the Ghost Hand Pirates at all, and she should be an ordinary civilian from the East Blue. Having thought of that and hearing Namis question, Jinbe replied: Well, the Yonk (Four Emperors) are the four pirates standing at the apex of the sea. The apex of the sea? !! Nami stared and asked: That means he is strong? Jinbe glanced at Rosss back and said: If you ask someone about him, they would say that he is not only powerful but he is also The strongest in the world! CHAPTER 389 WHO IS THAT PERSON? Ross noticed the change in Namis gaze and he enjoyed the look of shock on her face. After coming over, he said at random: With a Marine Admiral here, you dont have to worry about the safety of the village, oh yeah, its better if you dont go out to sea recently, maybe I will see you again in future. After leaving such a sentence, Ross walked towards Fujitora, Fujitora knocked on the ground with his wooden staff, and the frozen ground broke into a stone platform and it supported them to fly into the sky. Seeing that Ross had left, Hawkeye also looked back, he turned away with the Black Blade (Kokut) on his back and Tyrant Bear disappeared with a flash. Jinbe stayed, watching the silence for a while. About Arlong, Im very sorry. Since he came here, he naturally knew the situation here, he knows that Arlong ruled here. Since the girl in front of him is an aboriginal here, she should be the one oppressed by Arlong and Jinbe chose to apologize. It wasnt because he couldnt handle Arlongs affairs. He let Arlong come to East Blue, and he never bothered to see what he was doing afterward. You are Nami turns around a little stiffly so that she has time to examine Jinbe carefully. When she sees Jinbe apologize to her, she also stares, wondering what the other party has to do with Arlong. Jinbe said: I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Jinbe, the current boss of Fishman Pirates. It is my oversight that I didnt saw what Arlong was doing here and let you suffer. Seven Warlords of the Sea. Its another Seven Warlords of the Sea, and it sounds like this person is the leader of the Fishman. However, she has seen Marine Admiral, Greatest Swordsman in the World, Yonk (Four Emperors), Nami is a little numb to Jinbes identity. Cocoyasi Village. On the coast, Ross and Fujitora returned to their small ship. Now that they know that Golden Lion is going to Loguetown, it is natural for them to go towards Loguetown. Lets go to Loguetown, thats the next target of Golden Lion, Ross said briefly to Fujitora. Fujitora paused, feeling no surprise. Holding the stick, he said, Loguetown, where the Pirate King Roger was executed. It was the place where the Great Age of Pirates began. Its perfect to end the Golden Lion there. Ross looked at the sea and then with a thought, the power of distortion poured into the sea and rolled up a current that pushed the ship to sail away. And not far from Rosss ship. A fierce battle was erupting on the sea. A mutant beast in the sea found Luffys group on a small ship and launched a fierce attack on Luffy and others. Although this mutant beast is not a fish and is also affected in the sea, its strength is still extremely fierce. Even though Luffy, Zoro, and others joined forces to fight, they were still forced into a disadvantageous position by the mutant beast, and the ship was already broken. Damn it! This guy is too tough! Sanji kicked the mutant beasts head, only to feel a pain shooting up his foot bone, it was as if he had kicked an iron plate. Roar! The mutant beast roared and attacked Luffy and caused Luffy to flew out. Fortunately, Luffy is a rubber man and he can ignore this kind of blunt attack, and he was holding the ship with both hands when he was about to get hit. Although his figure flew out, his arms that were still holding the board also stretched a lot and he bounced back. This bastard My wound Zoro held the sword, but cold sweat dripped from his forehead, the wound cut off by Hawkeye on his chest got opened and blood spilled. The fierce battle tore his unhealed wound. But when the straw hats were in a hard fight, a small ship in the distance came out like a yacht. Seeing the route, the ships will not run into each other and they will pass by. A ship! In the fierce battle, Usopp first spotted the approaching ship and screamed at Luffy and others. Zoro gasped sharply, enduring the pain in his chest, and glanced in the direction Usopp had pointed. Its a small ship. Nothing can help us, lets kill this monster first. Sanji was tired but he still had a cigarette in his mouth and he didnt forget to take a sip. Luffy saw his companions in a desperate situation and he roared while stretching his right leg as hard as he could. Gomu Gomu no Tomahawk! Bang! The foot that fell from the sky was wrapped in huge power, and it kicked it on the mutant beasts head, and the mutant beast that was kicked was completely submerged in the seawater and splashed a huge wave. A few seconds later, the mutant beast surfaced again, but instead of attacking Luffy and others, his eyes turned white and it floated on the sea, apparently stunned by a heavy blow from Luffy. Shout Got Saved Sanji and Usopp watched this scene and released a long sigh of relief. If they couldnt beat it anymore, this ship would have sunken. But. Almost as soon as they were relieved, the fainted mutant beast drifted away to the distance on the sea. Coincidentally, it was on the course of the ship sailing in the distance. Usopp touched the cold sweat above his head and glanced at the direction of the mutant beast, he first hesitated and then judged the distance with his sniper abilities, the ship and the mutant beast were likely to hit each other! This is bad! Usopp screamed in his heart, but immediately comforted himself, the ship would surely avoid the dizzy mutant beast, after all, it looks so conspicuous and had such a huge body. As Usopp watched, the small ship came sailing through the waves and Huh! The ship directly pressed the mutant beast, sinking the mutant beast to the bottom of the sea, and generally continued to sail away from the wind and waves without any change. A few seconds later, the mutated beast woke up and appeared on the surface and it slowly turning its head to look at Luffy and others, its fierce eyes showing an angry look and it roared. Luffy: Zoro: Sanji: Almost everyones expressions sank at this moment as they looked at the mutant beast that was rushing over, they felt a little desperate. Luffy did his best to hit him and he was only successfull in knocking out the monster and it was hit by that damn ship again. This is simply murder! But. When Zoro and others gritted their teeth and could only brace their heads to face the beast, the ship in the distance stopped suddenly, as if it had hit something. In the cabin of the ship, Ross glanced out unexpectedly and shook his head and smiled, There is something wrong, Issho, go and help them. Fujitora also noticed the situation outside, he took hold of the wooden rod and nodded, and pushed the door open and walked outside. He looked at Luffy and others who were again in a struggle. We seem to have caused you a little trouble Sanji and others heard that and they almost vomited blood from their mouth in anger. A little trouble? Does this look like a little bit of trouble? But seeing the appearance of Fujitora, they are not surprised why the ship ran into the beast, because Fujitora is obviously a blind person! Why is a blind person sailing in the sea? Anyway, Im very sorry, but please get out of the way. Fujitora held the handle of the staff blade and rushed at Luffy and others. Ah? What do you want to do? Sanji was busy but he heard Fujitoras words. What is he going to do? But at this time, its too late to do anything, why do you have to hit the monster that has finally passed out? Anyway, it is a little trouble, let me take care of it. Fujitora said sincerely and kindly. Luffy and others looked at each other. Although they didnt know what the blind man would do, they still instinctively believed in him and stepped back. Almost as soon as Luffy and others pulled back, Fujitora pulled out his staff blade and he swung forward sharply. Gravity Blade! Buzz !! In an instant. The sea seemed to have collapsed! Under the shock and horror-filled gaze of Sanji and others, the monster was shrouded in some strange power, and in just one second, it was squeezed and crushed and turned into countless pieces of meat and bones! At this moment. Everyone looked dull and their faces were blank. This, this Usopp stared at the scene in horror, almost speechless. Fujitora put the blade back into the scabbard and directed a friendly smile at Luffy and others and said: It hasnt been very safe at sea recently, try not to go to sea for some time. After he spoke, Fujitora turned and entered the cabin. The waves rolled up, and the ship once again broke through the wind, it hurried away and disappeared from their eyes. After the ship disappeared at the end of their field of vision, Sanji and others came to their senses and there was only one idea that remained in their hearts Who is that guy? !! Chapter 390 Meeting Tashigi Again East Blue, Logue Town. After leaving Cocoyasi Village, Ross quickly arrived here with Fujitora, but he seems to have come a little earlier, and Logue Town is looking peaceful. Ross didnt care. Since hes early, he is drinking morning tea here. It doesnt matter if he wait for a while. A few days later. Somewhere in the teahouse. Fujitora sat across from Ross and drank morning tea with Ross. The weather was cloudy and the light rain was falling, which made the small town, which had been calm, seem to have some dark tide. From time to time, a team of Marines can be seen patrolling the streets and their patrol frequency had increased by a lot. The atmosphere around here seems to have changed. Leaning over the window drinking tea, Fujitora sensed the orderly passing of the Marine outside, the unusual atmosphere that was gradually filling the small town, and spoke slowly and quietly. Ross was reading a newspaper and he looked up and glanced out the window. If we know that this is the next target of the Golden Lion, he said, Then the World Government and Marines must have found a way to get the information. If the government knew that, it would probably send out heavy troops to guard it. Fujitora spoke slowly, with a slight solemnity in his speech, but not a steady one. Ross smiled and said, Apart from the fact that theyre trying to stop Golden Lion, even if they came after me, wouldnt it mean that they would have to move the entire Marine Headquarters to Logue town, is that even possible? Except for Garp and Sengoku, who can pose some threats to Ross today, Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru, and others have almost no ability to threaten Rosss life. Fujitora continued to drink tea. Just then, out of the corner of his eye, Ross suddenly looked out the window at a figure passing in the alley. Hes here too. Hearing Ross words, Fujitora looked up at Ross, revealing his inquiries. Ross retracted his gaze, not looking at that fleeting figure, and said, Leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon. Fujitoras face changed slightly, and he said, Revolutionary Army also got involved in this? I dont think so. Ross shook his head and said casually: I think hes mostly here for some other purposes. Fujitora was lost in his thought. At this time, another familiar figure appeared before Ross and walked straight into the tea house, ordered a cup of tea, and sat down in a place, it was Tashigi. Her eyes were somber and gaunt, and she was not in a Marine uniform, a far cry from her last encounter with Ross. Well. Ross looked at Tashigi and gave an involuntary tut. It looked as if she had not recovered from the last shock he had given her. Quickly. The tea was served, and Tashigi took it and said thank you and drank the tea. Rosss words had been ringing in her head for so long, and when she saw things from a neutral perspective, she could no longer see Marine justice as her calling. It was precisely because she was absent-minded every day that she overturned the teacup several times. Smoker was annoyed and helpless and she was temporarily suspended from her job and Smoker told her to take a good rest. Ugh. Tashigi wanted to get that voice out of her mind, but she couldnt do anything. She sighed while drinking tea. At this moment, she inadvertently glanced at Ross and Fujitora sitting in a corner, and because she was directly facing Ross, she saw Rosss face and could not help but stare. Do you come here for tea? Ross waves at Tashigi and smiles casually. The shock in Tashigis eyes slowly subsides. Her mouth is closed and her expression changes in an uncertain way. In the past, she would have already pulled out her sword, but now she is in a state of confusion and she cannot control her body and she walked over. The Ghost Hand Pirates First Division Captain Walking towards Ross, Tashigi also saw Fujitora, and soon recognized Fujitoras identity. Why are you here? Tashigi remained silent for a few seconds and asked a question. Ross sipped his tea and said, I can go wherever I want, but since you have asked, um I came looking for Golden Lion to settle accounts with him. Golden Lion?! A few months ago, Tashigi would not have been able to think of Golden Lion Shiki, a Legendary Pirate that has dissappered for 20 years. But recently, the entire East Blue was in chaos because of Golden Lion and the news of Golden Lion was spreading everywhere, and she naturally recognized his name. Yes. Ross didnt care and spoke: That guy almost killed me once, plus hes done such a nasty thing in East Blue, its time to send him to hell. Tashigi was speechless for a while. If Ross was a Marine Admiral, she wouldnt find it weird to if he said such a thing, but Ross is one of the most terrifying pirates in this sea. Not knowing how to respond to Ross, Tashigi bit her lip and couldnt help but say a little ironically, But you dont do less wicked things than Golden Lion. Ross glanced at her and said with a frown: You mustnt talk nonsense. What bad things have I done. Please, Sergeant Marine, tell me some of those wicked things that I have done. You Tashigi was speechless for a while. She has read a lot of newspapers and learned a lot about Ross from inside Marine, but the description Ross had in those newpapers were always Wicked, dangerous, and heartless Pirate, and after he became a Yonk (Four Emperors) who ruled Totto Land, he became even more evil but the newspaper never said what he had done. But there is almost no intelligence that can be specific to a certain thing. That is to say you only know that I have done wicked things, but you dont know what wicked things I have done. Ross glanced at Tashigi and slowly. Tashigi gritted her teeth for a while, but couldnt find anything to refute. All right. Ross finished the last sip of tea in the cup, he said, The tea is finished and Im leaving. Do you have any questions? Tashigis expression changed for a while, and she stopped talking until Ross had stood up and walked out, and then she gritted her teeth and asked, What is justice?! What. Ross couldnt help chuckling and said, You really asked a very difficult question. No one can answer this question. Everyone has an different answer. Then what is your answer. Tashigi continued to ask, she knew that asking a pirate about Justice was weird and ridiculous, but she just wanted to hear Rosss answer now. I have no answer. Ross walked to the door of the tea house and gave Tashigi a completely unexpected answer, he glanced at her and said, Why do I have to worry about what Justice is? CHAPTER 391 THE TANGLED WARFARE STARTS Loguetown. The Straw Hat Pirates have just arrived here. Why are ao many Marines here. On the street, Zoro, who was going to buy a blade avoided a Marine patrol and frowned slightly. Few civilians could be seen along the way, and Marine, who was patrolling the streets from time to time, walked by. Why is this town so alert? Although Zoro is a big fool, he still has some reason. He knows that if Marines found him in this place, it will definitely cause a lot of troubles. Although he wont be caught by Marines, he and Luffy and others will have to escape as soon as possible and he wouldnt be able to buy a blade for himself. Seeing Marine patrolling past him, Zoro stepped out of the alley that he was hiding in and looked for the Blade shop. However. As he walked across the street, he suddenly noticed a man and a woman who were coming from the street in front of him, a sword hung on the waist of the woman and a sword hung on the waist of the man. Hey. Tashigi, who was following Ross, noticed Zoro, and at the same time noticed the swords on Zoros waist. Her low mood was instantly lifted as she looked at the Famed Blade (Meit). This is is this 21 Wazamonos sword?! Tashigi held up the glasses on the bridge of her nose and couldnt help walking towards Zoro and looked at the sword on his waist for observation. Zoro was startled and took two steps back subconsciously, and said: Hey! What are you doing ?! Tashigi, looking naturally dull, finally noticed Zoro. After staring at him for some time, she apologized again and again and also looked for a hole to hide herself in. Zoro sees Tashigi apologizing again and again and says, Well, you seem to know a lot about Swords. Ah, I did a little research on them. Tashigi was embarrassed as she said, Well, can you show me your blade? Zoro handed over the blade generously while looking at Tashigis Sword and said after thinking for a moment, You are also using a Famed Blade (Meit). Yes. Tashigi took Zoros blade and she also heard him speak of her blade and she took the blade off and handed it to Zoro, and said, It is one of the 50 Skillful Grade Swords(Ryo Wazamono Grade Swords). As she spoke, she pulled out Zoros sword and recognizing that it was indeed the real thing, and could not help but praise it. Although he was a little speechless about Tashigis behavior, Tashigis understanding of the swords was a good chat for Zoro. Yes, is there a shop selling blades nearby? After Zoro retrieved his sword, he asked Tashigi. Tashigi nodded said, Are you going to buy a blade? There is one over there. Ill take you there. Thank you. Youre welcome. Tashigi agreed and then thought of Ross next to her. When she looks over her shoulder, she sees that Ross is not impatient. Instead, his eyes linger on Zoro for a few seconds. The three walked towards the distant shops together, and Zoros gaze was constantly on the Cursed Blade Murasame around Rosss waist along the way. Are you a swordsman? Zoro looked at the Cursed Blade Murasame and looked at Ross again and asked suddenly. Although Rosss blade seemed to be a Famed Blade (Meit), he did not feel any Similar feeling on Ross, which means that Ross should not be a swordsman. Yeah. Ross nodded and said indifferently: I am indeed not a swordsman. Hearing Rosss admission, Zoro could not help but shake his head lightly and regretted that a Famed Blade (Meit) fell into the hands of someone who was not a swordsman, but his pride would not allow him to take the Famed Blade (Meit) from Ross hands, even if Ross is not a swordsman. The group of three quickly came to a blade shop. But. Just as Tashigi was going to lead Zoro in, Ross suddenly looked up, and grabbed Tashigis collar and dragged her back. Bang! With a loud noise, a huge monster fell from the sky, and the Blade shop collapsed instantly from above as the monster roared. This monster that fell from the sky noticed Ross and the other two for the first time and bloodlust appeared in its eyes, it raised its claws and hurled it at Ross and others. So it finally started. Ross looked at the monster without any emotion on his face. Instead, he released his Observation Haki and began to look for Golden Lion traces throughout the Lougetown. At the same time, Zoro saw that Ross and Tashigi were both Stunned and immediately pulled out his sword, slamming the monster against it. You two, move quickly! He had battled with this monster before, and Zoro knew the strength of this monster, even if he had recovered from his injuries, it would be difficult for him to deal with this monster, not to mention that there are two people beside him. Zoros voice had just fallen and more roars came from above. Three or four monsters descended from the sky in succession, and they successively fell on this street, smashing several buildings, and a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from their bodies. This Tashigi looked at the monsters and her pupils contracted sharply. She had gone out to fight against these monsters once before, but the result was that she couldnt beat them at all, and it was still Smokers attack that killed the monster. Faced with four or five monsters exuding their terrifying aura, Tashigi could not help shaking a little, even if she pulled out her own sword, there wouldnt be anything that she would be able to do. Damn there are so many. Zoro also saw many monsters appearing one after another, and he couldnt help but grit his teeth. If it only one then he could still fight hard so that he could only escape. Bang! Bang! Bang! The surrounding buildings were constantly getting destroyed by many monsters. The monster in front of Ross slapped Zoro out in one shot. Then it continued to attack Ross and Tashigi. Not good! Zoro was flung sideways and could not help but curse. Just then, Ross looked up and glanced coldly at the monster. He released his Haoshoku Haki, stopping the monsters movement for a moment, the monster was barely able to hold his body without fainting, but it momentarily staggering back. Seeing this scene, Zoro looked shocked for a moment. What happened? Although he doesnt know what was going on but the monster suddenly stood with unstable feet, which is obviously a good thing. He guesses that the monster tripped on something. It was then that Zoro saw the Luffy and others gathering not far away, they were in a battle with a monster, as the buildings collapsed around them. Hey! Luffy! Zoro called out over there. Luffy and others heard the sound and looked at Zoro. Luffy, Sanji said, looking grim and speaking in a slightly nervous voice, There are too many of these monsters for us to deal with. We need to get out of here as soon as possible! Although Luffy had mussels for brain, he also knew that he couldnt fight with so many monsters. He responded and ran back while running with Sanji and others in the direction of Zoro. And this time. Countless Marines also flooded the streets, fighting with many monsters. Some Marines fought with these monsters with their bare fists and some of them cut the monsters apart with their sword. Luffy and others are shocked as they saw this scene. Hey! Whats up with these Marines? Usopp swallowed and asked, looking horrified. These groups of people can deal with these monsters directly, they can fight these monsters single-handedly, Isnt their strength a bit too exaggerated? They are the elites of the Headquarters. When Tashigi heard Usopps words, she couldnt help but whisper back. Although she was suspended from her job, Marine Headquarters had deployed a large number of elites to defend Lougetown. She still knows that these people are Captain and even Rear Admiral from Marine Headquarters. CHAPTER 392 WHO? WHERE? Headquarters? Marine Headquarters? Sanji heard this and his forehead overflowed with cold sweat. Everyone looked at each other, and they suddenly thought that they should not stand here as they were pirate. After Luffy defeated Krieg, the Marines had put a bounty of 20 Million Berries on his head! Okay, I think we should go. Usopp spoke while trembling. But Sanji glanced at the crowd and gritted his teeth, No! Miss Nami is not here, she is still in the town! Luffy took a deep breath and said solemnly, Hey, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, lets pick up Nami and leave! Although this island has become the battlefield between monsters and Headquarters Marines, Nami is still in the town, and he cant just turn away like this. A monster snarled and rushed towards them. Luffy waved his fist, Zoro pulled out his sword, Sanji rushed up, and the three of them rushed together to fight against the monster. But before the three mens attack fell, a shock suddenly erupted from the side. Gyogin Karate (Mermaid Karate) Hyakumaigawara Seiken(Hundred Tile True Punch)! Bang! Only a Bang was heard, and the monster, which could not be beaten by the efforts of Luffy and others, was smashed open on one side of its body, resulting in a huge hole. And behind that monster, a fat figure appeared, he is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Knight of the Sea (Kaiky) Jinbe! Seeing this scene. Everyone was shocked. Its okay for someone to fight alone with that monster, they could accept that but this kind of punch that can kill a monster in seconds, isnt it mean that this guy is monster among monster? Usopps whole body shook and he couldnt help screaming, Who the hell is that guy! He is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Knight of the Sea (Kaiky) Jinbe. Tashigi held her sword to her chest and was breathing heavily. She was also taken aback by this bloody scene, but her emotions soon settled down. Seven Warlords of the Sea! Zoro, Sanji, and others looked at each other, they could not help but think of the three forces of the Grand Line mentioned by Johnny. This guy is the same Shichibukai as Hawkey, no wonder he is outrageously strong. Usopps forehead was full of cold sweat. Even Shichibukai appeared here, whats going on? Sanji looked at Jinbe, who continued to attack other monsters, and a chill spread across his spine, he said, I think we got ourselves involved in something extraordinary. Tashigi took a deep breath and couldnt help thinking of what Ross had said before, and what to do with Golden Lion. Could it be that Golden Lion would really appear here? Thinking about this. She couldnt help but glance at Ross next to her. No wonder Marine Headquarters had sent out so many heavy hitters of the Grand Lines to guard here, no wonder Ross appeared here, it turns out that this town was getting targeted by Golden Lion! Dont just stand here, look for Nami. Zoro remained calm in this situation, speaking loudly to Luffy and others, while also looking at Ross and Tashigi, saying, There doesnt seem to be a safe place here, youd better leave here soon. After hearing this, Tashigi stared a bit and looked at Ross next to her. Then she finally noticed something. This group of people didnt seem to know Ross!! Nami! Luffy yelled because he didnt know where Nami was. Immediately after Luffy shouted, Namis response came from a ruin not far from here. I am here! Nami got out of the ruins and saw Luffy and the others from a distance. With a look of joy, she immediately ran towards Luffy and the others. But before she ran halfway, a monster rushed over to her. Not good! This is bad! Nami! Luffy, Zoro, and others rushed towards the other side, but they were too late and they wouldnt reach Nami in time. And at the critical moment, the sound of wooden staff suddenly sounded from the ruins. Tuk, Tuk, Tuk. Leaning on his staff, Fujitora emerged from the nearby ruins, looked up at the monster, and opened his white eyes, which had no pupils. He raised the wooden staff in his hand. Buzz !! A force of gravity fell instantly and the monsters entire body immediately crushed to the ground and it couldnt move. Under the terrifying gravity, the entire area appeared to be cracked. Its that Ossan (Uncle)! Luffy, Zoro, and others stared for a moment as they saw the scene in front of them, and immediately thought of the boat incident where they had first seen Fujitora and saw his power, they could not help but look shocked. That Thank you very much. Nami saw that the monster was unable to move under the weight of Fujitoras cane, and shivered to thank Fujitora, thinking of what she had learned about Fujitora. This is no ordinary blind man, but a giant pirate with a bounty of more than a billion Berries! Youre welcome. Fujitora replied in a kind voice. Seeing that the danger on Nami was lifted, Luffy and others were finally relieved. Usopp wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and couldnt help but said, Thats one strong man, who is he? Tashigi looked at Fujitora and said with some difficulty, He is Ghost Hand Pirates First Division Captain, Issho, he has a Bounty of 1.2 Billion Berries. At this point, she could not help but glance sideways at Ross and saw that he was not paying attention to the scene in front of him, but was looking somewhere to the right side as if there were something there that caught his eye. A Pirate! 1.2 billion Berries! When Luffy, Zoro, and others heard this sentence, it immediately set off a hurricanes in their hearts. East Blues Admiral Krige only had a bounty of 17 Million Berries, Luffy defeated him and got a bounty of 20 Million Berries. The bounty of this person is 1.2 Billion, and the fraction is ten times that of Luffy. What is this concept? Wah! 1.2 Billion Berries, how is that possible! Usopp couldnt help but scream in disbelief. Tashigi looks at Usopp and is about to say something when suddenly there is a sound of kchkch in the street not far away. Ice Age! They saw the ice spread from the distance and the ruins of the street was instantly frozen! Bang! Bang Bang. Aokijis figure flew out upside down, smashing into several broken buildings, breaking into translucent chunks of ice not far in front of Luffy and others. These ice cubes quickly gathered, and instantly condensed into Aokijis body. He looked at the street in the distance, his face somewhat depressed. Ahrara, I didnt know youd be here. Seeing Aokijis figure, even Tashigi was shocked, but she was no longer surprised when she thought of Ross who was also here, and the Golden Lion might still attack here. Compared to Tashigi. The nearby Luffy, Zoro, and others saw Aokiji, who was broken into ice cubes and re-condensed and also froze the street in an instant. That guy What ability is it? Thats Admiral Aokijis Ice Logia ability. Tashigi took a deep breath and responded, her direct Chief Smoker is also a Logia User, his ability is to turn into smoke, but smoke and ice are obviously different from each other. Smoker and Aokiji are completely incomparable to each other. Admiral? Did you say Admiral? Sanji caught Tashigis words and couldnt help turning his head towards her. Hes an Admiral from Marine Headquarters, Ross replied casually. Marine Admiral! Sanji and others almost gasped at Rosss words. Even though they dont know much about Marines, they also know the rank of Admiral, which should be close to the highest in Marine. This kind of guy actually appeared here! Ross didnt care about Sanji and others but looked in the direction where Aokiji flew out from. There. A man in a green cloak came out from that direction. He seemed a bit surprised. He was only going to take a look at Luffy who was about to set foot on the Grand Line. However, he did not expect that the defenses of Loguetown suddenly became so severe, it seemed to have become a battlefield. The sudden outbreak of Battle made him unable to hide. After being exposed, he immediately encountered Aokijis attack, and he had to fight back. It was indeed unexpected. Dragon looked at Aokiji and slowly said, Is this where Golden Lion is going to attack? No wonder there is such a big battle here. Compared to Dragons calmness, Aokijis attitude seemed very different. The appearance of Dragon was completely unexpected to him and even Marines hadnt thought of it at all. Their plan was only to deal with Golden Lion, and now, Dragon was added to that equation. No matter what, I cant let go of you, you are a major criminal of the World Government. Aokijis eyes changed for a while, but he still opened his mouth slowly. He rushed towards Dragon and raised his hand, a huge ice ball suddenly fell from the sky. The immense momentum attracted countless peoples eyes and Luffy and Zoro and others were even more shocked. Facing Aokijis attack, Dragon grunted coldly and he raised his hand and punching out Bang. His fist-bumped against the Iceball. Bang! There was a loud blast and the ice ball, which was dozens of meters in diameter, was blasted by Dragons punch, and turned into countless pieces of broken ice! Seeing this scene, Luffy and others expressions had already become stiff. Who are they? Why are they here? And What am I doing here? CHAPTER 393 CHARGE Thats Revolutionary Armys Leader, Dragon! Looking at the figure confronting Aokiji, Tashigis face changed several times, and she finally opens her mouth with a look of shock on her face. In recent years, the Revolutionary Army has become more powerful, and their spread of ideas has threatened the World Government in many ways. Compared to Yonk (Four Emperors), Dragon is a criminal valued more by the Government and Marines! Revolutionary Army Leader?! Nearby, Sanji, who had been shocked by the previous scenes was shocked again and he was close to having a heart attack. He did not know much about Yonk (Four Emperors) or Shichibukai, but he knew a lot about the Revolutionary Army. Because Dragons messages often appear in the East Blue newspaper and the Revolutionary Armys power in East Blue has also grown, even subverting a country not long ago! With a shock in his eyes, Sanji looked at the Dragon who was fighting with Aokiji. He couldnt help saying, How could such a big man appear here Okay, now I really think that we should go. Usopp was so scared that he began to feel weak in his legs. A reminder from Usopp finally made Zoro and others wake up, and the entire group, including Luffy, immediately decided to leave. But. Just as Zoro is about to call for Ross and Tashigi to leave together, a roar of pride and laughter appears in the sky. Jihahahaha! This is a big enough scene now, we have Marine Admiral, and Seven Warlords of the Sea and even the Elites of the Marines and World Government are here, it is quite a welcome! Golden Lion appeared in the sky, his hands were stacked in front of him as he remained suspended in the dark sky, overlooking the entire Loguetown. At the rear of the Golden Lion, a ship was slowly floating, carrying numerous pirates in black, all showing the fierce wicked expression. Aokiji stopped his action and Dragon followed suit and then they backed away from each other. His face was somewhat depressed and he coldly looked at Golden Lion floating in the sky. The Marine lineup originally set up here was to defeat Golden Lion and arrest him, but now there is an unexpected person, Revolutionary Army Leader Dragon, which has made things messy. In World Governments priority list, Dragons priority is undoubtedly above Golden Lion, but their primary mission this time is to not deal with Dragon but to capture or kill Golden Lion, which makes the current situation a mess to deal with. Aokiji, you little boy, I havent seen you for twenty years and now you have become a Marine Admiral. Golden Lion floated in the sky overlooking Aokiji and he spoke while holding a cigar in his mouth. He and Garp did fight a lot back then. He also has quite the impression of Aokiji who was Garps follower, but it was just an impression of a follower. Aokiji stood in place while looking for any weakness in Golden Lion. At first, he was really just a follower. He could only watch the fight between Garp and Golden Lion. But now he is already the highest battle force of the World Government. He is a Marine Headquarters Admiral. In comparison, Golden Lion is just an old lion with a broken leg. Just at this time. A woman in a Marine cloak of justice with pink sleeves appeared, holding a gleaming sword blade in her hand. She looked up at the sky and said: Deal with Dragon, leave Golden Lion to me. Marine Headquarters Alternate Admiral Momousagi! Okay. Aokiji didnt budge either. Although their strength was not enough, they could not let Dragon run away anyway, at least he could keep Dragon busy. As for whether Momousagi can defeat Golden Lion or nor, that isnt even a question, because Momousagi is not weaker than him now. If Momousagi cant defeat him then he wouldnt be able to defeat him either. Besides, Aokiji didnt think that Golden Lion with broken legs would still possess the powerful strength he had in that age. A woman? Golden Lion glanced down at Momousagi below, his eyes showing disdain, and he said, You want to stand deal with me? Can you even swing that sword on your waist? Golden Lion has an impression of Aokiji but he has no impression of Momousagi. Momousagis level was even lower than Aokiji in the year he was active. As the top three legendary pirates, he naturally would not remember or have any impressions of a Rear Admiral. Golden Lions words annoyed Momousagi for a moment. Her eyebrows rose and her eyes flashed with anger and then she became calm. She lifted the blade in her hand and swiped it at Golden Lion. Sii! A golden sword energy suddenly swung off, and in an instant it traversed the whole sky, seeming to divide the dark sky in one stroke! Momousagis sword attack instantly attracted Zoros attention and his expressions changed. That woman. This level of attack is far from what he can do right now, a womans sword arts is even fierce to this extent. Looking at Momousagi, Tashigi couldnt help showing a hint of awe on her face. As a swordsman, she had been fascinated by Momousagi for a long time. Its Vice-Admiral Momousagi She is the nearest thing to an Admirals existence and she is also said to be the next Admiral! Another monster has appeared. Sanji and others hearts have become almost numb. Golden Lion didnt put Momousagi in his eyes. However, Momousagis shocking sword arts stunned him, he muttered and swung his right leg. Zanpa (Slash Wave)! Buzz !! A similar golden sword energy burst out, colliding with Momousagis sword energy and their collision erupted in the sky and they both exploded. When the sword energy was broken, although Golden Lions eyes were still full of arrogance, the contempt and disdain has disappeared as he looked at Momousagi now. This woman is very strong! Boom! Boom! Boom! Momousagi used Gepp (Moonwalk) and rushed towards Golden Lion in the sky, her face was cold and killing intent rushed out of her body in waves. Golden Lion didnt speak and he clashed against Momousagi with a cold face, his legs swayed continuously, and a fierce confrontation between him and Momousagi started in the sky with dozens of attacks getting used in the blink of an eye. Ding-Ding Dong! Momousagis eyes flickered with coldness. When her sword was swung out, Armament Haki condensed on the sword edge, which made Golden Lion unable to resist the attack and his body flew back more than ten meters. You are already so old, you should have found a nice small place for your eternal rest. Knocking Golden Lion back, Momousagi said coldly and she continued to rush forward with her sword in her hand. Obviously. Golden Lion who disappeared for 20 years and has Broken legs is no longer Momousagis opponent in terms of Sword Arts! Golden Lions face sank and he said, While I was sailing and conquering the sea, you were still suckling at your mother tits, Dont be so arrogant kid! Ding-Ding Dong! The two continued to fight together. With the flexibility of Float-Float Fruit, Golden Lion has stabilized the situation. Although Momousagi will use Gepp (Moonwalk), Gepp (Moonwalk) is not as flexible as Float-Float Fruit. In terms of flexibility, the two are fighting together, and it seems that the winner and loser wont be decided in a short time. At this time, Luffys group was ready to retreat. But. Just when they were leaving, numerous pirates in black clothes jumped off from the ship in the sky, and several people were emitting a strong presence. Hundreds of pirates jumped off the ship, looking at the Marines in the town with wild faces and grinning. Kill the Marine! Kill them all! The crowd roared and rushed toward the Marines. At the same time, a Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral on the Marines side also raised his sword and said: They are going to come over! Team two, team three, team four! Attack them with me! Yes! Countless Marine responded loudly and quickly formed a queue of nearly a thousand people. Marines and Pirates just charged at each other, and the momentum was surging, shouts of kill sounded as they rushed towards each other. Luffy was stunned. Zoro was stunned. Sanji was stunned. They were in a position that, unfortunately, was the center of the charge! Ahhhhh! Its over! Its over! Usopps tears and snot almost came out, and he wanted to run away, but on one side was Marines large force, and on the other was the Pirates large force, they were completely caught in the middle! CHAPTER 394 SHOCK PART 1 When the Marines and Golden Lion subordinates launched a decisive charge against each other, Ross eyes could not help but recover from Golden Lion and Momousagis figure in the sky and he looked at the changing Marines and Pirates and he also saw that he happened to be in the middle of their charge. He glanced at the Marines on the left side and the Pirate on the right side and he could not help but frown. What the hell are these guys doing? Is my existence so low that they have ignored me?! Although he didnt show his momentum and power, he also didnt hide his body this time, he is just standing here and everyone can see him! When Ross spoke, Nami, who was panicking, noticed him behind her. She saw that Ross was standing there muttering to himself and she was stunned. Is he here too? !! The moment she saw Ross, Namis heart was violently shocked. What happened the other day in Arlong Park was deeply imprinted in her mind and she could still see that scene as if it happened just now and she couldnt get them out of her mind! Stop this farce immediately. When the Marines and Pirates were about to smash together, Ross spoke coldly, and he also walked towards the Golden Lion. Zoro, who was caught by the momentum of Marines and the Pirates felt stiff and was pulling out his swords with gritted teeth. When he saw Ross walking forward, he stared at him. Hey, you At the same time. Luffy, Sanji, and others also looked at Ross. They have already seen Ross and Tashigi when they united with Zoro but they just kept getting shocked again and again and they didnt have the time to ask Zoro about them. Now seeing Ross suddenly walking forward alone, as if he didnt notice the Marines and the Pirates rushed from both sides, they could not help but stare at him. Who is that guy? Sanji couldnt help but ask Zoro. Zoro was about to say that he doesnt know but he stopped when he saw Ross figure getting up from the ground, that guy was actually flying. Wow! Flying! That guy is flying! When Luffy saw this scene, he couldnt help but widen his eyes instantly, and stars appeared in his eyes. It was also at the moment when Ross rose from the ground that the Vice-Admiral who was leading the Marines against the charge of Pirates saw him and was shocked. His footsteps suddenly stopped as he looked at Ross. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead and back and his eyes became unfocused. That guy is He is the Yonk (Four Emperors) Ghost Hand Ross! Why is he here? Not only a few Vice-Admirals but even the Rear Admirals next to them and the Pirates opposite to them recognized the figure that had just risen to air and they couldnt help but show horror-filled expressions on their faces and some of them even took many steps back and gulped down their saliva. Some of them still remembered the scene where Ross destroyed the Marine Headquarters Fortress, they were there when Ross had attacked the Marine Headquarters after he escaped from Impel Down and that fear was still lingering in their hearts! Ghost Hand! At the same time. The four people, Aokiji, Momousagi, Dragon, and Golden Lion all saw Ross instantly and every one of them had a different expressions on their faces. Aokiji was not surprised by Rosss appearance, because Ross obviously obtained the next attack plan of Golden Lion from Vasco, so it is normal for him to appear here. And. He also communicated with Marine Headquarters and made sufficient preparations in advance. Momousagi was one of those preparations, but the appearance of the Revolutionary Army Leader Dragon completely disrupt their plans and Momousagi had to step out so that Aokiji can deal with Dragon while she dealt with Golden Lion. Even if they have other back up plans, it is already their limit to deal with Golden Lion and Dragon at the same time. If they also had to deal with Ross, it would be nothing but a horrifying nightmare! In the sky. Ross looked at Momousagi and Golden Lion, and said gently: Golden Lions head in mine, I want to take it down with my hands, you Marines should stand aside. His tone is very gentle, but in an instant, the domineering exhibition that belongs to Yonk (Four Emperors) and the Strongest in the World is vividly displayed! Dont speak nonsense! Momousagi frowned, she snorted and said, Its Marines job to arrest the Golden Lion. How can we let a pirate intervene in our matter! Although it seems like a good thing for Ross to deal with Golden Lion, how could they give up in such a place. Facing the confrontation between the two major pirates, Marines didnt even dare to step in and they stood by and watched. Once this news spread to the outside world, Marines prestige and their face would be completely swept away. This is not a request, it is a notice. Ross spoke out in a flat voice, and as he finished speaking to Momousagi, he called out without looking back, raising his voice. Issho! Hai(Yes). Fujitora held the wooden staff in his hand and he stepped on a stone post that raised into the sky. Stop her. Leave it to me. Fujitora pulled out his staff blade and he also opened his pupilless eyes, he calmly looked in the direction of Momousagi. Momousagi knew about Fujitora, but Rosss attitude of throwing her off at his men makes her so angry that she cant help but strike a blow at him. But. Fujitora slashed out with his sword in the next moment, blocking Momousagis attack from reaching its intended target. Your Excellency Marine, I will block you here, please guide an Old Man. The Ghost Hand Pirates, First Division Captain Momousagi took a deep breath, knowing that Fujitora could stop her attack, it was impossible to deal with Ross while he is here and finally she set his sights on Fujitora, showing a calm expression on her face. As for Fujitora, she doesnt have much information on him. According to the information learned by various intelligence, the strength of this First Division Captain is likely to be above that of Shiliew of the Rain! CHAPTER 394 SHOCK PART 2 And this time. Rosss gaze finally turned to Golden Lion. I didnt expect you to grow to such a degree that even that Whitebeard lost to you I didnt even believe it at first when I saw the news in the newspaper. Golden Lion stared at Ross and suddenly reached out his hand, saying, With your current power and my plan, we can join hands and easily control the world, join me, Ghost Hand Ross! Although Ross is a junior to Golden Lion, he had become a Yonk (Four Emperors) and he had also defeated Whitebeard. Rosss status in his eyes is different from before. However. As soon as he had finished speaking, Ross had already attacked him with his sword. There is no need for you to speak nonsense! Buzz!! This sword, wrapped in a violent power of distortion, erupted towards the Golden Lion in an instant, shattering the empty space around Golden Lion. Golden Lion didnt expect Ross to attack suddenly, but he also responded immediately, his legs swayed and Armament Haki covered the sword on his leg and he splitted it towards Rosss sword. And. Golden Lions slash and Ross Distortions slash collided against each other, and after only a stalemate for half a second, it immediately crashed. The furious power of distortion sent Golden Lion flying backward by a few hundred yards in a flash! One strike! And that had already decided the outcome of this battle regardless of any future fight! Momousagi, who was fighting Fujitora, saw this scene and she couldnt help but take in a cold breath and a little vibration appeared in her eyes. This is the strength of The Strongest in the World! Golden Lion, who was fighting equally against her was like a broken kite in front of Ross and he was also blown backward by a single attack from Ross. Golden Lion couldnt even withstand Rosss powers for even half a second and was blown back! Momousagi couldnt help but think of the scene where she defeated Ross in Dressrosa with the help of Kizaru and Tokikake. At that time, Ross was far less capable than he is now. She is sure that Ross at that time may not have won against her even if they fought one on one. But now after so many years, although her strength has also improved, Rosss strength is soaring, leaving her completely behind! Why on earth is that? Are my efforts insufficient? But I have never neglected the Sword Arts Training and had trained even hard but the gap in strength was still increasing between her and Ross. On the other side. Aokiji is shocked, he also can not help but secretly sigh, Ross has become even more powerful. If he were to fight Ross alone, he wouldnt even be able to save his life, not to mention defeating Ross, that is just a wild dream at this point. It seems that from Rosss escape from Impe Down was not just based on luck and after he had escaped from Impel Down, his strength is soaring day by day and his rising strength and influence can no longer be stopped. The Strongest in the World Dragon stared at Rosss figure from a distance, and there was a deep expression in his eyes. Although he is not afraid of Ross, he also has to admit that Ross is more powerful than him. If they fought against each other in a life and death fight, the one to die would most likely be him. He had heard about Ross long before, and even tried to recruit Ross and Robin into the Revolutionary Army, but Ross had refused them. He thought at that time that Ross would be defeated by the Marines In fact, he was indeed defeated by Marines and sent to Impel Down Prison. But no one would have thought. Ross who was locked in Impel Down was able to escape intact and he also took the Warden leader Shiliew of the Rain with him and after they were gone from Impel Down they destroyed the Marine Headquarters and since then Ross and the Ghost Hand Pirates have become unstoppable! Even Aokiji, Momousagi, and others are shaken by Rosss strength, not to mention Luffy, Zoro, and others below. Everyone was shocked. Shichibukais who killed these monsters in one hit, Admiral from Marine Headquarters, and Golden Lion Shiki who is one of the Three legendary pirates from Gold Rogers era. Every single one of these figures is bigger than the other and the short confrontation between Golden Lion and Momousagi is already a fantasy fight in their eyes. But Ross attacked Golden Lion and caused him to flew back with a single attack, this kind of terrifying strength is not something that they can imagine right now and their minds are almost blank! What happened? Can anyone tell me what happened? !! That guy, what is Zoro watched as Ross flew towards Golden Lion and attacked him with a single attack and by the dull expressions on his face, it looked to him as if Ross wasnt even giving it his all, which also means that Ghost Hand Ross was holding back. Ghost Hand Ross. Tashigi stood beside and answered Zoros question. She looked up at Ross in the sky, with a touch of complexity in her eyes, saying: He is one of the Four Strongest Pirates that are currently ruling the Grand Line. No, it should be said that he is the Strongest Pirate. There were three Shichibukai who died under his hand. BIGMOM, one of the former Yonk (Four Emperors) also died at his hand and he also destroyed the Marine Headquarters after escaping from an inescapable prison. There are no people in the world who can stop that guy Tashigis voice was not loud, but as she spoke, it was like a thunderbolt that had exploded in the hearts of Luffy and others. They are not very clear about the term Yonk (Four Emperors), but they know who the Shichibukais are. Hawkeye is also one of Shichibukai and the Greatest Swordsman in the World. There is no doubt about his strength in their heart. But. There were three Shichibukai who died by Rosss hand! Marine Headquarters is undoubtedly the main Marine base and it should also be the most heavily guarded place in the world, but that kind of place has been destroyed by this man! That guys bounty how much Nami received the least impact. She looked at Tashigi a little numbly, but eventually, she couldnt help but asked a question she always wanted to ask. Tashigi glanced at Nami and said slowly: Three Billion. There was no need to say any extra words. It was only a simple number but it surpasses all the previous bounties they have heard or seen, Hell, the bounties they have seen couldnt even come close to Rosss bounty. Everyone within the hearing distance was shocked and their mind became blank as they tried to process this information. The current Bounty. 3 Billion Berries! CHAPTER 395 ESCAPE How is this possible Golden Lion, who flew back by hundreds of meters, was finally able to stabilize his body, but at this moment he was shocked and was staring at Ross. Although he lost his legs in Impel Down, he still has absolute confidence in his strength. Even if he is not as good as Whitebeard, he shouldnt be much worse. But now. Ross just punched him and he felt as if a mountain has collapsed on him! Golden Lion was stunned, he felt as if he was dreaming. He swung his legs and fully exerted his sword arts. He also used Armament Haki to the limit. Lion: Thousand Slice Valley! Countless golden sword energies were woven into a dense sword net, which rushed towards Ross. This attack would have seriously injured Ross previously. However, the current Ross has a calm face as he faced the overwhelming golden sword energy, he clenched his left hand and punched it out. Bang! The violent power of distortion exploded in Void. The Golden Sword energy in the sky is like a gust of wind as it was destroyed and shattered, one after the other by Ross. Too weak. Watching Golden Lions sword energy getting destroyed by his punch, Ross didnt felt any pleasure in his heart and muttered with a sigh. Since defeating Whitebeard, Ross has no measure of his strength. On must know that after defeating Whitebeard, Ross did not stop training himself. Although at his current level, any type of improvement has become very also but he has always maintained a process of improvement. He didnt even know how strong he is today. Impossible! This is impossible! Golden Lion saw his all-out attack getting smashed by Ross and he couldnt accept it and kept muttering to himself. Even when he faced Whitebeard, this didnt happen! Nothing is impossible. You just dont know who you are facing. Ross looked at the Golden Lion from a distance and said in a soft tone. He took a step forward and the space between him and Golden Lion was shortened by Distortion. He stepped down and was already in front of the Golden Lion and he punched Golden Lion again. Bang! !! !! Golden Lion tried his best to resist, but he was still slammed down and he flew out, like a golden hairball, drawing an arc in the air, and quickly fell into the distant sky. Ross didnt pause. After punching Golden Lion, he lifted his foot in the air and stepped out. He rushed towards the distance and quickly caught up with Golden Lion and they both disappeared into the sky in an instant. As Ross disappeared. Momousagi and Aokiji have regained their attention and they only have one idea in their minds. Golden Lion might die this time. Destroy the pirates! A Vice-Admiral from the Marine Headquarters reacted quickly after Ross and Golden Lion disappeared. He waved his sword and roared at the many Marines. Although the morale of the Marines was restrained because of Ross, they were better than the Golden Lion subordinates. At this moment, when they heard the order of the Vice-Admiral, they pressed the shock in their hearts and raised their guns and sword while yelling. Luffy and others also woke up from their stupor, only to find that they are still in the center of the battlefield, and the situation has not changed! But. While Zoro and others were sweating and looking alarmed, Dragon, who was fighting Aokiji moved his right hand towards them. A strange force rushed out as the dark sky suddenly becomes windy and strong wind suddenly sweeps the whole Lougetown and blows towards the Marines. Do you want to assist some Pirates?! Aokiji sighed and immediately stepped forward to try to stop this, but although he blocked Dragon, he could not stop the wind that whistled across the battlefield. Countless Marines swayed by this howling wind, it was difficult for them to stabilize their bodies and even Luffy and others were almost blown away. This is a good opportunity! Lets go! After Sanji took a few steps back in the wind, a look of joy appeared on his face and he yelled at Luffy and Zoro and others. But although the Marine side was getting battered by the wind, they were only pushed back a little. Marines and Pirates who were rushing towards each other left no space for them to retreat. And just then. A Marine Vice-Admiral wearing a dogs headgear and indistinct appearance suddenly rushed out of the Marine camp, killing many of the Golden Lion subordinates pirates by himself. He has dark Armament Haki attached to his fist and began to punch down and with each punch, the area around him vibrated as if an earthquake was shooking the Lougetown and the ground directly in front of him shattered and numerous pirates were knocked out by the shock. Look what you all did at East Blue! The Vice-Admiral, wearing a dogs headgear, roared as he entered the pirates camp, punching one pirate after another and no one could resist him and pirates began to fall down from his punches. The howling of the wind, coupled with the explosion of the headgear wearing the Vice Admiral, finally opened a huge gap in the battlefield. Great! Sanji and others looked relieved. At this time, Luffy was staring at the figure wearing a dogs headgear. Lets run, Luffy, what are you staring at! Sanji sees Luffy in a daze and pulls Luffy out. Luffy was dragged away by Sanji, but he was still looking at the Marine Vice-Admiral strangely, and said, That guy is a little familiar. How could you be familiar with a Marine? Hurry up! Sanji ignored Luffys nonsense and he dragged Luffy out and ran all the way with Zoro and others, they finally took the opportunity to escape from the gap. Instead of escaping with Luffy and others, Tashigi stood like a woodcarving until a smoke passed over the battlefield and appeared near her. Tashigi! What are you doing?! Ah! Smoker San. Tashigi was awakened and looked at Smoker. Smoker held two cigars in his mouth and said, How could you let these guys slip under your eyes, they are East Blues Straw Hat Pirates! What? Tashigi was stunned as she heard this. She had been with Luffy and others for a long time, she didnt feel anything similar to a pirate from Luffy and others. But this was actually the Straw Hat Pirates!! Smoker looked at Tashigi, he was annoyed and speechless for a while. Tashigi had become a bit of an airhead since their last meeting with Ross and Robin. He thought she would gradually get better. But why is this woman getting more and more foolish, what is going on here? CHAPTER 396 THIS IS THE STRONGES On the horizon. Below the cloud, a sword energy cuts through the cloud, splitting the cloud into two, turning into a ripple across Void, as if to cut everything into two pieces. Directly in front of the sword energy, suspended above the sky, Ross faces this terrifying sword energy with nothing more than a wave of his hand. Buzz !! The power of distortion erupts, turning the air directly ahead of him into a swampy vortex. The Sword Energy hits the surface of the vortex and is immediately sucked in, shattering within the vortex. There is no need to struggle, Golden Lion. You are nothing but a remnant of the last era, you should have retired from the sea a long time ago. If you find a place to rest in peace, I will not disturb you. With an understated strike, Ross breaks Golden Lions Sword Energy and then he slashes it out with his own blade against Golden Lion. Sii! The Sword Energy seems to cuts through space. After traveling a distance of over tens of meters in the blink of an eye, the Sword Energy cut towards the head of Golden Lion. Golden Lions predicted this attack with his Observation Haki and he immediately swung his right leg and took the Famed Blade (Meit) Dead Wood and met Rosss Sword Energy. Slash! The Sword Energies collided against each other and sparks splashed around. Golden Lion is a pure Sword Arts and Haki expert while Ross is an expert in the Power of Distortion combined with Haki. A long time ago, Ross was inferior to Golden Lion, but today there is a wide gap between the two. Buzz !! The space above the Golden Lion erupted with a Buzz! It was as if some invisible bomb had exploded there. Golden Lion couldnt withstand this power, and the Famed Blade (Meit) Oto, which was embedded in his leg and connected to the bone made a kchkch sound, and almost broke from his leg. Golden Lion flew hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye, and the severe pain in his leg made his forehead full of cold sweat. With a gleam of blood in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and looked at Ross. Bastard! Devil! If it was twenty years ago, how could this little Ghost have shown such arrogance in front of himself! Golden Lions heart is full of anger and unwillingness. This is not an unwillingness to his strength, but an unwillingness to aging and the running of time. Im Golden Lion Shiki! Golden Lions eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Ross from afar, the roots of his teeth biting were bleeding and his tone was filled with the arrogance of one of the Three Legends of the previous era. That era couldnt kill me, and the inescapable prison Impel Down couldnt keep me down. It wont be easy for you to take my head, little brat! At this moment, Golden Lion seems to have returned to his peak period. He had his back to the sun, his long blond hair spread out like a lions, his whole body exuding a strong presence and he reached out and grabbed his right leg. Kch! The Famed Blade (Meit) Kogarashi that has been connected to his bones that had healed for twenty years, was ripped from his leg. Blood was dripping from the hilt of the sword, and even fine bones coagulated with it. Ross looked at the scene, but did not respond, he placed the blade in front of him and his eyes showed peace and calmness. Compared to Whitebeard, Golden Lion is a swordsman, and things like sword arts dont decline much with age. Now. After 20 years, Golden Lion has regained his sword, which is equivalent to restoring his identity as the greatest swordsman standing at the top of the sea in the last era and he will fight the final battle with Ross. But Ross is not afraid of the peak power of Golden Lion and Whitebeard. How can a desperate Golden Lion in his later years surpass him? Silence. Blood was dripping from the fracture on the right leg of Golden Lion. But Golden Lion didnt look at his legs, he just held the bloody Famed Blade (Meit) Kogarashi and placed it in front of him and lined it parallel to his brows. The anger of losing to Roger, the anger of hearing Roger was executed by Marine, the anger of being locked up in Impel Down Eternal Hell Everything, everything is intertwined. Golden Lion looked up. Chop One. The ultimate level of Kendo, the realm of the Great Swordsman where one sword is equivalent to countless swords and it can cut open countless cannonballs, countless swords can also be attributed to one sword and one sword had the power to cut off an island! Buzz !! This is the ultimate sword arts of Golden Lion Shiki. He did this now not to defeat Ross, but to show his dignity as a legend of the last era, the last dignity he wanted to protect which belonged to the pirate who stood at the top of this sea at one point in time. There is no earth-shattering sword energy, there is only a tiny golden light. All of his strength is concentrated on this point. Qiang. In the face of the Golden Lions sword, Rosss Observation Haki Future Prediction had already predicted this scene in advance and he had already put the Cursed Blade Murasame into its scabbard. If thats the case, I will also try my best to take you. His right fingers folded and clenched into a fist. It had been a long time since he had used the full power of distortion, and all of that power came out and circled on his fists. The full-bodied power of distortion produced a distortion of the Void around his fist, a distortion of the darkness in which even the light curved. Finally. Ross raised his fist. It was silent, the blow seemed to shatter the sound, no sound was heard, the blow seemed to shatter the light, and the area suddenly plunged into darkness. Right in front of Ross, the area with a diameter of nearly 100 meters is completely turned into a black sphere of silence, where the power of distortion woefully intertwined, shattering everything. Bang! It wasnt a Bang sound as all the sound was muffled. Its as if the firecrackers were pressed under a bowl and a muffled sound was heard when it exploded. The black zone splintered and hit the sky with a touch of Distortion, scattering a cloud above Golden Lions head in a flash and vanishing into the endless sky. Golden Lion stands tall in the air. The sword in his right hand came down slowly and stared at Ross. After a few seconds. You won He uttered the last word and lost his strength, the Famed Blade (Meit) withered in his hand fell off and he fell towards the sea below. Ross watched as Golden Lion silently fell towards the sea. Its a kind of inexplicable feeling. However, he doesnt know what its like. Maybe Whitebeard once had this feeling, but its not as strong as him at that time. There was no excitement, no blood, no sense of Battle, even if Golden Lion had grasped his sword in his last act of dignity and delivered a blow with all his might. This is a change of mindset. Because their standing position is different. In the past, Ross used to stand at the bottom of the steps, looking up, climbing, challenging, but now hes at the top of the steps. This is the strongest. The one who is standing at the apex of this World. Chapter 397 The Third Incarnation After half a month. Cake Island Central Experimental Base. This is the top-secret area of ??the base. Except for Trafalgar Law, Caesar, Robin, and some selective people, no one is allowed to get in here even if they are Captain, they must get Rosss permission before coming here. Its done, My third Battle force. In the slightly empty hall, Ross nodded lightly at the figure standing in front of him. The figure has a golden lion mane and he stood with half bowed head, he was holding two swords, one in each hand, namely Oto and Kogarashi and his identity is self-evident. Golden Lion Shiki! After defeating Golden Lion, Ross did not kill him on the spot and brought him back to the Cake Island. He used Laws Surgery method and Caesar technology to transform and strengthen Golden Lions body. Golden Lion, who was originally aging, was Strengthen by Caesars technology and healed by Gerds Heal-Heal Fruit ability, and the cells in his body recovered a certain amount of vitality and his legs were re-installed by Laws reconstruction operation. These process lasted for half a month. Then came the Homies implant, which is now complete. Golden Lion Shiki-No, he should now be called Rosss second strongest battle force, Asura. Currently, Ross has direct control of three major Battle forces: The Hurricane incarnation, The Preta Path Katakuri, and the Asura Path Golden Lion Shiki. Among them. Hurricane incarnation is the top-level Battle force and it ranks first. The Hurricane incarnation has the ability to face off against a Marine Admiral. And it can fight continuously for ten days and ten nights without tiring, if it is a battle of attrition then the Hurricane Incarnation will win. After the Hurricane Incarnation, Asura Paths Golden Lion came in second. Although Rosss Soul incarnation cant perform the top-level Sword Arts of Golden Lion, he can still use muscle memory attacks plus with Golden Lions Haki and his now recovered state thanx to Trafalgar Law and Caesar and with Float-Float Fruits power, Golden Lions Battle Power is still the Preta Path Katakuri. In third place is Katakuri, the Preta Path. It can be said. These three battle forces are completely equivalent to the puppets controlled by Ross. They are not separate individuals. They can be regarded as guns in Rosss hands and swords in Rosss hands. There is no doubt that with these three Battle forces, Ross has reached the level of a Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates with his own strength! If this information is leaked, the World Government will inevitably fight Ross at all costs and eliminate Ross, but unfortunately, only a few people know about the secrets here and even Division Captains such as Ficheux Erman did not know the existence of Rosss Soul Incarnation. Trafalgar Law, standing next to Ross, looks at the Golden Lion puppet and his eyes flashed. He spoke to Ross. The power we have now, even if we fight the Marine Headquarters, we will be able to take them and probably defeat them. Almost. Ross pondered a little bit and calculated the battle powers of Garp, Sengoku, three Admiral, two alternate Admiral, and former Admiral Zephyr and Kong. After a brief calculation, Ross shook his head slightly and said, But if you count the World Government, our current Battle Forces are not enough. Law lowered his head. The hidden power of the World Government will never let them see more than the tip of the iceberg. Even the current power of the Ghost Hand Pirates has not made much progress on the intelligence of the World Government. The only thing that they have learned is that the Commander-in-Chief Steel Bone Kong still has a powerful Battle Power that rivals that of a Marine Admiral. In addition, there is also CP0s New Chief and the previous Admiral Black Prison with Steel Bone Kong, the Government has an extremely high battle force. Whiz! Ross controlled the Asura Paths incarnation and launched an attack on himself and made a few simple moves in the lobby of this Underground base. After roughly judging the strength of this Soul Incarnation, Ross stopped and as he had expected, this Soul Incarnation is a little stronger than Katakuris Soul Incarnation. But. Compared to a Marine Admiral, it should still be a bit worse, after all, it is not the Golden Lion in his peak state, but just a Soul Incarnation. But holding off a Marine Admiral for a short time will not be difficult for it. Also its time to start preparing my plan. Ross looked at the Soul Incarnation in front of him and took a deep breath. Once Blackbeard defeats Ace and gives Fire Fist Ace to the Marines, the War Of The Best would become unavoidable. During that period, the World Government and Marines will enter the period of Martial Law in the army. They will only defend in a short time and will not take the initiative to attack. The time between the arrest of Ace and the outbreak of the War Of The Best is also the time Ross has planned to destroy the Beast Pirates in one fell swoop! New World has so many rulers and it has been that way since the start of the Great Pirate Age. Four Yonk (Four Emperors). Its also time to reduce one more! After leaving the core base. Ross returned to the Sky Island Birka. Robin is still here to review some of the more important intelligence and report them to Ross after finishing them one by one. The Strawhat Crew defeated a Shichibukai? Ross took the newspaper in Robins hands and thoughtfully looked at the report. Although Sand Crocodile no longer exists, Luffys group is still on another route and there was still a Shichibukai on that route and eventually that Shichibukai fought against Luffys group and were completely decimated by Luffy. After this battle, Luffys bounty had also jumped to 100 Million Berries, and the bounties for Zoro and Sanji have also reached 30 Million Berries and 28 Million Berries respectively. After all, Luffy has the bloodline of the Marine Hero Garp and Revolutionary Army Leader. Robin opened her mouth speak as she now knows the origin of Luffy. He is Garps grandson and Dragons son, and the Straw hat on his head also came from the Pirate King Roger and it was given to him by Red Hair Shanks. These pieces of information are intertwined together, which is very incredible. It seems Blackbeard is doing well for himself. Ross picked up an apple and took a bite out off it while putting the newspaper down. After his defection, Blackbeard spent the first period of his life soliciting partners from all over the place. During this period, he had no specific plan. And when Luffy defeated a Shichibukai and made a gap in Shichibukais ranks, he immediately had a plan, that is, to become a Shichibukai first in order to seek development. Blackbeard? Robin took the newspaper from the coffee table and thought, I recently let the intelligence team keep tabs on him, but he havent made much movement. Ross said: Keep eyes on him. Ok. Robin answered. Today, Robin is wearing a tight, short black dress. When she looks up from Rosss Angle, she can barely see the subtle undertones, and her long legs are so creamy that he cant help but want to squeeze them. Ross looked at them for a while, but he couldnt hold it and pinched them with his hand. Chapter 398 The Ability to Manipulate the Earth Ten thousand meters above sea level. The White Sea. Is this the Sky Island?! Going Merry rode the rising currents and eventually broke through the White Clouds and reached all the way to the White Sea 10,000 meters above sea level. Nami walked to the side of the ship and looked down. She didnt see the seawater, but only a white cloud that was acting just like seawater. Cloud, how can a ship float above the cloud? She was shocked and puzzled at the same time by this phenomenon. Luffy and others were a little short of breath at this moment because it was the first time that they came to the White Sea at a height of 10,000 meters, but they had special constitutions and they gradually got used to the low air. The Log Pose is still pointing to the front. Nami watched the direction where Log Pose was pointing and randomly instructed Sanji and others to sail and steer in the direction of Log Pose. After sailing for about half a day, an island finally appeared in front of them, showing a milky color, it looked like a heavenly scene. Look there! Its Sky Island! Luffy and others saw the Sky Island in the distance and finally screamed with excitement. A place like Sky island is almost like a dream scene to them but now it is real and they have arrived here. And just when Luffy and others finally arrived at Sky Island. On Angel Island, somewhere in the watchtower, a quirky toy saw Going Merry coming from a distance and jumped up suddenly. Report! Report! There are intruders! The toy immediately reported to the Sky Island Captain outside the watchtower. Immediately afterward, the Sky Island Captain searched for the Priest and reported the news of an outsider at Angel Beach to the Priest of Angel Island. The Priest was shocked when he heard about it and immediately walked into the central palace. An intruder? Sugar was sitting on a White cloud chair while holding a bunch of candy and grapes, she put a grape in her mouth and tilted her head at the Priest who had just came in. The Sky islands have been completely conquered by Ross and they have become Ghost Hand Pirates territory. Angel Island is also one of them. Sugar came to Angel Island for a holiday before and found that she liked the scenery here, so she simply stayed here and Ross didnt care much, and let her stay at Angel Island. They look like blue sea people. We should have received the intelligence if these people had come from the top of the west. But we didnt receive any intelligence. The Priest told Sugar. Sugar has a special status in Sky Island and she has the same status as Gan Fall and she is always in touch with Ross and manages the toys, while Gan Fall manages the entire Sky Island and they dont have much conflict. The incident of the invaders in the Angel island is reported to Sugar first. Troublesome. Sugar ate another grape and said, Catch them all. What? The priest stares for a moment. Sugar ate the grapes one by one, and said, Isnt there enough trouble on Skypieas side? Dont bother me with such things. Ok The Priest resigned reluctantly. Just after the Priest left, a huge figure in the hall turned to Sugar and said, Isnt this the kind of things that should be reported. That figure is the Giant Iron Wall, who is responsible for keeping Sugar safe. Barrier-Barrier Fruits ability to produce an all-dimensional Barrier that will not open nor break for 10 days or half a month unless the enemy is a top-level Armament Haki user or had an ability to control the Barrier. At that time, they only need to call for support and Ross will naturally be able to arrive soon. Does it even matter? Sugar poked five grapes with five fingers and then put them into her mouth one by one, and said, Anyway, they will become a toy and no one will remember them. The Iron Wall Giant was speechless for a while, but he still honestly chose to report the situation. Although he is responsible for protecting Sugar, he is also responsible for guarding and he would not allow Sugar to do something too capricious or exaggerated. In the sky far from Angel Island, across nearly half of the Grand Line and directly above the Cake Island, and also where the Sky Island Birka is located. The Strawhat Pirates arrived at Angel Island? Ross, who just got up for breakfast, heard the report from Robin next to him, and couldnt help shaking his head lightly. Luffys journey still couldnt avoid Sky Island. However, it can also be said that Angel Islands magnetic force is too strong. As long as any Ship appears in the sea below its location, the direction of Log Pose will be pulled to the sky. Generally, as long as you stay away from the sea, Log Pose will point to other islands, but with Luffys personality, it is no surprise that he must have wanted to go up when he heard about Sky island. Yes. Robin held her chin in her hand and chuckled, Sugar intends to grab them all and turn them into toys. Well, that would be interesting. Ross snorted but he didnt blame Sugar for it. Being defensive is part of her nature. Robin chuckled and said: But I put a stop to it. The Strawhat Pirates have dealt with a Shichibukai recently and those priests alone might not be able to win against them. And if we sent out the Iron Wall Giant then there is a chance that Sugar will be put in danger by then. Its not worth the effort. Once Sugar loses consciousness, the toys will all turn back into people and there would be a lot of Chaos and every single person turned by Sugar will come again to challenge Ross or to break into his territory. Once they are transformed into a human form, there will be chaos. Although the threat they would possess is not great, it will be a lot of trouble. Well, let her stop fooling around. Ross nods. Luffy and his gangs battle power cannot be called strong or weak, and its hard to tell if hes going to suddenly break out and go into Second and Third gear on the island. Robin finished talking about Luffy, and suddenly looked right, saying: Yes, except for Luffy, there is still trouble with the Angel Island. Oh? Ross ate a piece of cake and looked towards her. Robin said, Its the Holy Land Skypiea It is the half-broken part of the Jaya island on Sky Island. Recently, a guy calling himself a God emerged there. The priest over there went on a crusade and the whole army was Obliteration. Calling himself a God? There was a weird look on Rosss face. It wasnt Enel, was it? He had found Enel before, but he didnt pay attention to him. But the question is, in his case, how did Enel get the ability to invade Holy Land Skypiea and wipe out the whole army led by the conquest team? What about more specific intelligence? Ross asked at Robin. Robin thought a little before replying: Because of the previous annihilation of the army, only a small amount of intelligence was passed on. The guy who called himself a God seemed to have the ability to manipulate the earth. ??? Three question marks popped up on Ross head. He had deliberately installed a force on the Angel Island before. He used the power of distortion to control the earth before, but now there is really a Devil Fruit user that could control the earth? If that guy is really Enel, then Ross has to say that his luck is too good, Rumble-Rumble Fruit was snatched by him and he still got a powerful Devil Fruit that can be used to control the Earth. Stone fruit? Or Earth fruit? Ross couldnt help asking Robin. The former is the ability of Pica who was one of the subordinates of Doflamingo, that guy could manipulating rock and the latter one is one of Logias abilities, which belongs to the Upper Level of Devil Fruits. The Stone fruit can only assimilate the nearby earth, soil and the like, and cannot actively produce rocks and soil. Once it is at sea, it has no effect. The Earth fruit is one of the Logia Devil Fruit that can directly produce rocks and soil. The gap between the two is still large. Unclear. Robin shook her head and said, There is too little intelligence to judge. Ross pondered for a while, he stood up and said, Well, Ill go there and see whats going on. If its really the Earth Logia Devil Fruit, I can make another powerful Soul Incarnation. CHAPTER 399: LUFFY’S DECISION Angel Island. The emergence of Luffys group did not cause any trouble in the end. The Sky Island was completely under Rosss rule, so the appearance of a few blue sea people was not a big deal and the people of the Sky Island were accustomed to this. Because not everyone in the Ghost Hand Pirates can set foot on the Island and those that do are normally Captain Level cadres. This status is relatively high, so Luffy and others were also warmly welcomed on Angel Island by the people on the island. Amazing! There are toys at work! Luffy saw a group of toys holding various tools and rebuilding a building in a hurry, and he could not help but stare at them with stars in his eyes. Zoro put a hand on his chin and said while hesitating a little, As a matter of common sense, toys should not work. Do you think there is any common sense here? The existence of Sky Island itself is incredible! Namis eyes twitched slightly as she heard Zoros words. Sanji thoughtfully said: Indeed, the Sky Island itself is incredible, maybe this is the legendary heaven there are also many beautiful ladies over there !! Boom. Nami slapped Sanji back in his head. She looked at the recording shell she bought and said, These toys should be one of the special tools, after all, even these shells have various uses. They are not some special tools. A member of Sky Island Army, The White Beret Army was following Luffys group and when he heard Sanji and others, he said, These Toys are completely different. What? Luffy and others heard the words and turned around. The Armys member said, Those toys were human before, and it was Sugar Samas ability that turned them into toys. Hearing these words, Luffy and others stared for a moment, and Sanji frowned, and said, They were humans before? Why did you turn them into toys? This is no joke. The Armys members said positively: The law of the Sky Island states that for crimes above the third level, the penalty is to take away their human body and make them work as toys to pay for their Sins. Hearing this sentence, Sanji was startled and he glanced at a toy in the distance and said: In other words, they were all criminals before? So theres no problem turning them into a toy?! The Army member nodded and said, Well, humans cannot be harmed by becoming a toy, and they must obey the orders of the Army superiors. I see. Zoro and others nodded slightly. The existence of Sky Island itself is very special. There is also such a special punishment system. Naturally, this punishment system is also quite good. It can make criminals work as toys and pay off sins. It is much better than being kept in a prison cage. But after the reminder of the Army member, their gazes at the toys were no longer the same. Speaking of which I saw a lot of toys along the way. Do you have such a high crime rate in Sky Island? Sanji walked and asked suddenly, confused. In their view, the atmosphere of this Sky Island can be said to be peaceful. Even if there is a crime, it should be rare. The Army member shook his head and said: Only a small part of those toys are criminals of the Sky Island. Most of them are some pirates on the blue sea. Puff! !! This sentence made Sanji almost spit. Pirates of the blue sea arent they also the pirates of the blue sea? !! Just then, Luffy suddenly said innocently: Ah? We are also the pirate of the blue sea. The air was suddenly silent. Ugh? The White Beret Army member stared at them. Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Almost the next moment, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp waved their fists together, knocking Luffy to the ground for a moment, beating him hard. That, um, he just said that we are adventurers on the blue sea. Nami slammed Luffy while explaining to the Army member. Ohh The Army member looked at Nami and others strangely. Sanji kicked Luffy a few feet, with a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately gave a fake smile and shifted the topic: That, do you have any more scenery that we can watch? This, since you are from the blue sea, you wont know much of anything here, so I will slowly take you to tour. The White Beret Army member laughed and said. At this time, Zoro and others finally stopped moving. Luffy, who was swollen and red, stretched out a hand while barely supporting his body and opened his mouth to say: Those toys Boom! Nami punched Luffy, who was barely supporting his body, with her fist again. After the farce, the White Beret Army member took Luffy and others along the way to explore the scenery and food of Angel Island. After a long walk, they finally came to the coast of Angel Island. This is not the place where Luffy and others stop their ship, but the coast on the opposite side, looking far away, they were just in the opposite direction of Holy Land Skypiea. Is that land?! Seeing Skypiea in the distance, or half of Jaya Island, Sanji and others were taken aback. They did not expect that there would be land on Sky Island. Where The Army member looked at Holy Land Skypiea in the distance, with a look of embarrassment on his face. Sanji noticed his expression and couldnt help turning his head and asking, Whats wrong? Well, the earth you see everywhere in the blue sea is very precious to us, and in the sky, this is the Holy Land, which God gave us four hundred years ago and which we have been guarding ever since. At this point, the Army members face showed an inexplicable expression, saying: But just a few days ago, someone invaded the Holy Land and occupied it, claiming to be God, saying that Holy Land is his Domain and he alone is the master. Really? Zoro and others turned around. The Beret Army member squeezed his fists and said, Yesterday, Lord Priest led a part of our Army there, but in the end, the whole army was overwhelmed. At this point, he showed an unwillingness and grief on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, But sooner or later, we will take the Holy Land back! Hearing this, Luffy and others were silent for a while. After a while, Luffy raised his lowered head violently. He did a fist-fisting gesture on his chest and said, Ossan, you have helped us for so long and you even bought food for us Let us I will take it back for you! CHAPTER 400 I AM … GOD! Dont get involved in other peoples affairs! Nami punched Luffys head while comically showing shark teeth. However, Luffy was unmoved and Zoro also hesitated and he put his hand on the hilt of his sword and Sanji lit a cigarette and spit out a smoke, saying: It is a very important place for you and the beautiful young ladies, leave it to us. For a while, high emotions surged. They were no longer the same people they were in Louge Town where they could hardly breathe in the face of the great powers. Now they were on the Grand Line and they had already defeated a Seven Warlords of the Sea. They already have their own strength and they are pretty confident! In other words, it is. Blind Confidence and their egos are inflating. Ugh? The Army member nodded absently. These are strong enemies and even Lord Priest couldnt deal with them, we have already reported the situation to Totto Land However, before he finished speaking, he saw that Luffy and others directly charged towards the shore and jumped onto the two boats on the shore. After launching, they rushed towards Skypiea. Seeing this scene, the members of the Beret Army was shocked, he tried to stop them but it was too late, he couldnt get on a boat to chase after them as it was against the rules and he could not help but panic. Those guys this is bad! His look changed continuously, and eventually, he reacted. He immediately turned around and ran up to Island, looking for Captain and the Priests to urgently report this situation. Holy Land. Skypiea. At the very center of this land is a temple. Usually, only the Priests and Gan Fall are eligible to come here for sacrifices rituals, but now this place has been occupied by a group of people. In the courtyard outside the shrine, Enel stood there and he tilted his head and drew his ears, and said, That is to say, this place was also occupied by that Totto Land Power. This should be the case and we got this information from interrogating those guys. A Sky Islander following Enel bowed his head and reported. Enel snorted and stepped on the ground and the mud rushed around him instantly. He grabbed a handful of mud and said: The Earth is something that only a God can control! I took this place and I will stay here and let those people know who the True God is! The attendant watched in awe as Enel took control of the earth. He followed Enel because Enel had the ability to conjure up dirt at will, which was equivalent to conjure up gold and diamonds at will on the blue sea! What are you going to do next? He asked, bending over towards Enel. Enel cocked his head and said, I will take care of that Angel Island over there. Its a Sin for them to not respect a God that exists in their world. And just as Enel was about to go and take down the Angel Island first, one of his subordinates suddenly ran all the way towards him. Enel Sama! Some people from the blue sea broke into the island! Enel frowned when he heard the words of his subordinates, and said, Blue sea people? Why didnt you catch them?! These guys are really strong, we cant deal with them. The guard member sweated coldly, kneeling down at Enel, his voice trembling. Enel said unpleasantly, So useless forget it, for them to dare to step into this Holy Land without Gods permission, let me personally punish them! Holy Land Skypiea. Its a mess in a forest, apparently, this is a scene after the battle. This place belongs to God forbidden! A Sky Islander lay on the ground with blood spilling from the corners of his mouth. He looked hard at Luffy and the others and screaming: You you dare to break into here God God Enel will never let go! Enel? Luffy stood there and looked down at him, he shook his fist and said, Im going to find him and blow him out of the sky! He has occupied the Holy Land of other people and now he is calling himself a God. Sanji took a breath and spit out the smoke and said coldly, You have really upset the Beautiful ladies of the Sky Island! You Bloody nosed, two-bit chef. Zoro said disdainfully as he rests one of his hand on the hilt of his sword and said, I dont know if this Enel guy uses swords, but I want to fight him. Sky Islander: What are these people saying? Are these blue sea people all crazy? After being speechless, he didnt come up in a breath and his head tilted and he passed out. Really Nami stood behind the team and came over at this moment while rubbing her eyebrows and saying, You three are way too energetic! What if that Enel is very powerful! Sanji threw away his cigarette butt and said, Miss Nami, dont worry, we even defeated a Shichibukai before. If you are really scared I will protect you, hehehehe Bang! Nami punched Sanji on his face. Your presence feels even more dangerous. Just when the entire group had sorted it out and was about to move on, Zoros face suddenly changed and he said, Did you guys feel that? What? Nami looked at Zoro strangely. And at this moment, Sanjis face on the other side also changed, he looked down at the ground below and said, Its not right, the ground is moving! As Sanjis voice fell, the intensity of the earths jitter became stronger and stronger, and finally, it was felt by Usopp, Nami and others. One second two seconds three seconds With the passage of time, the entire earth seemed to have completely experienced an earthquake, it was surging violently and turning into waves. Hug the trunk! Sanji let out a roar and all the people immediately charge towards the next tree and hugged the trunk. Bang! Bang! Bang! After a few more seconds, the earth in the field burst into the sky, rising like a fountain, toward the sky. They saw the whole ground cracking inch by inch and the surrounding trees all fell down, a section of soil continued to rise and finally turned into a mountain-like thing and spread all the way to the end of sight. At last. The earthquake stopped. Zoro and others raised their heads, looking up at the rising rock. They saw a figure walking slowly from a distance. This bulging mountain rock seemed to be welcoming his arrival and he walked all the way from the highest place. Are you guys fooling around in my Holy Land? Enel stood high, overlooking Luffy and others and spoke slowly. Sanjis face became very grave, and he stared at Enel. Who are you? ! Enel smiled, with a patronizing expression, and said: I am God! CHAPTER 401 THE POWER OF EARTH LOGIA God? Sanji smiled coldly and said, How can there be a God who robs someone of Holy Land? Enel narrowed his eyes with a dangerous gleam in them and said, What do you know? The earth is something that only I can control, and also Sky Island. Not only all Sky Island people should worship me but even that Ghost Hand should do the same! He used to live on Birka, and Birka was conquered by Ross and then all the Sky Islands became Ross territory. And when he was in Birka, he had been imprisoned. Later, he found a chance to escape secretly and he secretly survived for so long. Finally, he got the power of God and truly controlled the power of the earth! Not only to occupy this Holy Land. He will also take back all Sky islands from Ross! Ghost? Whos that? Zoro carried his sword in his hand and asked Enel feeling as if he had heard this name somewhere. Enel glanced down at Zoro and said, You dont know, all the Sky Islands are under the rule of that Blue Sea Man, but he is just a blue Sea Man and everything should belong to God! Boom! Luffy smashed a stone next to him with his fist and looked up at Enel and said coldly, I dont care about some Ghosts or something, I just want to beat you up! The moment his voice fell, Luffy jumped up and his arms stretched sharply, and he punched hard at Enel. Enel looked at him like that. He had no intention to dodge. Boom! Luffys fist fell and smashed into Enels chest, instantly creating a large hole on Enels chest, but no blood appeared. Scattered in that hole was the soil that was visible to everyone. The soil was surging quickly, and the hole quickly refilled. Seeing this scene. Sanji and others faces suddenly changed. How could this be?! Usopp couldnt help but ask in horror. And at this moment, Zoro frowned and pulled out his two blades and waved sharply at Enel. Nitoryu Otoro(Reply Climbing Tower)! Sii! Two swords flashed. Two distinct cracks appeared on the elevated platform composed of uplifted soil. The cracks spread all the way up and passed through Enels body, splitting Enels body into three sections. However, the same thing happened to Enel and the fissures on his body shattered like dirt, he recovered at the next moment and even yawned. Boom! Sanji flew up and kicked Enels head, explodignEnels head, but there was still no blood, and only the dirt was broken. Enels entire body, it was as if it was composed entirely of mud! Ahhh! Monster! Chopper screamed with a terrified expression on his face. Sanji fell back, he looking at Enel while gritted his teeth slightly, and said, He has a Logias Devil Fruit ability! Enel tilted his head and looked at Sanji. So it turns out that you arent just some Blue Sea person who knows nothing. That guy also seems to have some Devil Fruit ability, but it should be just Paramecia. While talking, Enel glanced at Luffy again. Paramecia, how could it be better than Logia which controls the very land you stand upon. At the moment his voice fell, Enels face showed a cold expression. When he presses Void with his hand, the ability of Logia earth fruit is instantly activated. Gods sanction! Gong! With the touch of Enels hand, a torrent of earth swirled and gathered in the sky, eventually turning into a nearly 100-Metre-Wide running meteorite that crashed toward Luffy and others below. No way Nami couldnt help covering her mouth, looking at the sky with a hint of horror. Luffy and others faces changed, and they had already defeated a Shichibukai. They already had the self-confidence of the strong, but Enel did a single attack, and the huge meteorite fell towards them but it gave people an unstoppable feeling! Gomu Gomu no Tomahawk! Santoryu Ogi: Sanzen Sekai (Three Sword/Blade Style Secret Skill: Three Thousand Worlds)! paule Shoot(Shoulder Meat Shoot)! After being shocked Enel attack, Luffy, Zoro and Sanji attacked together and hit the huge stone ball. After the two sides held each other for a second, cracks appeared on the huge stone ball and it was finally broken by Luffy and others and scattered in all directions. Quite capable. Enel looked at the scene without any change in expression and said: It seems that your strength is good. Before I go to deal with that Blue Sea Man, you would do just fine as an appetizer. Luffy punched Enels body, but Enel no longer allowed this attack to land on him and flashed sideways, avoiding Luffys fist and holding Luffys arm back at the same time, Enel yanked Luffy arm. Luffy was caught off guard and was dragged directly by Enel and Enel waved his fist, and a huge rock fist slammed into Luffy causing him to fly out. Whiz! Whiz! Zoro and Sanji saw the situation and they did not hesitate to support Luffy, but Enel pressed his hand back to the ground, and the ground under their feet broke apart and spread forward. Countless stones smashed towards the unstable Sanji and Zoro. The two desperately resisted but they were still pushed backward. He pushed back all three of them Nami covered her mouth with her hand and her pupils contracted violently, she did not expect that Enel, who had robbed Holy Land, had such terrifying power! Naturally, Luffy and others would not easily lose. After being flown out by Enels attack, Luffy was not hurt because he was a rubber man. He yelled and continued to rush over. Humph! Enel snorted and swung his hand back. Hua! It was this light wave of his hand that sent the whole side of the earth surging like the waves of the sea, directly engulfing Luffy. Damn it! Sanji and Zoro let out a cursing sound and rushed to help, but Enel threw back his hand and the surging ground caught up with them. Like a torrent of mud and rocks washed away everything in their path, Luffy Zoro and Sanji were all swept away, the three people struggle desperately but they were unable to resist. Stop! Enel watched the scene lightly and then he grabbed the empty air in front of him with his hand. The earth torrent that was sweeping in all directions suddenly stopped, and Luffy Zoro Sanji and others were all swept into it and molded into a dirt mountain, and only their heads were revealed and the rest of their bodies was buried in the mud mountain. Enel looked at Luffy and others and slowly passed by them, saying, You cant escape, you will be trapped here to the end of your life, this is the punishment for those who offend God! CHAPTER 402 ONE FIST PART 1 Dont be kidding me You jerk! Luffys body was sealed inside the dirt mountain, but half of his head was exposed outside and he kept shouting without showing any weakness. Instead, he continued to struggle, yelling at Enel. He opened his mouth and inhaled wildly, and the gas kept pouring into his body. Kch! Kch! The earth and the parts of the mountain around him gradually showed signs of fragmentation. After all, this is just a soil mountain formed by the solidification of soil, not a mountain composed of solid rocks. Enels gaze flashed as he saw Luffy still struggling like this. When he was about to block his escape route with another wave of his hand, Luffys position suddenly burst into pieces. Siii! Because Luffy emerged from the trap, Zoros arm beside him was also released. He shook the hilt of his sword and broke out of the ground and fell to the ground. Thanks, Luffy. As Luffy and Zoro got out of the mud mountain, Sanji also broke free and kicked a part of the dirt mountain and rescued Nami Chopper and others. Enel looked at Luffy and others and his expressions still didnt change, he raised his hands at Luffy and others and waved them towards them from a distance. Bong! Millions of tons of dirt piled up in a mad rush to form a giant fist a few meters in diameter that slammed at Luffy and others. Let me do it. Luffy, his body now inflatable, let out a shout at Zoro Sanji and others as if he had developed some new trick, and pumped his bodys air into his arm, which swelled suddenly. The inflated fist is the equivalent of Enels earth fist. Luffy hits the earth made fist with his own fist. Two huge fists hit each other. Bang! A low Bang sounded. After a few seconds of stalemate between the two sides, Enels Earth made fist showed signs of fragmentation which began to spread all the way back, eventually breaking apart completely. And Luffys fist was unstoppable and continued to push forward and reached Enels body, Luffys giant fist shattered Enels body and smashed toward the rear. Good job! Luffy! When Usopp and Chopper saw this, they showed a touch of excitement on their faces. Nami also showed a hint of joy. Unexpectedly, Luffy had such a powerful punch, he broke Enels attack in front of them with only one punch and beat Enel. But. Before they had much time to be happy, a mass of dirt gathered and formed Enels body in the distance. This time Enels face was not expressionless, his attack was broken by Luffy, which made his face a little bit hung up, and he was thoroughly angered. You have succeeded in angering me, Blue Sea Person. Enel coldly looked at Luffy and others and as his voice came out, the ground began to shake violently, and countless amounts of soil madly rushed towards him. Enels voice continued to come from the soil. The power of the Earth is not something that you Blue Sea People can even begin to imagine much less defeat it, not only you but that Ghost Hand all of you are just ants waiting to be stepped on in front of God who could control all of this! Under the shock and horror-filled gazes of Nami and others. The mad surge of mud grew bigger and bigger and finally turned into a giant soaring between the heavens and the earth, with a body like a giant of the earth that spans thousands of meters! Gods Form! Enels voice came from the high sky. The terrifying giant is so huge that it makes a bowing motion at Luffy and others. The shape of this giant, let alone the normal giants, even Oars cant compare to it! You should be proud that you forced me to reveal this form Enels voice came from the Earth Giant and the depressed tone echoed on the island. At this moment, not only the people on Holy Land Skypiea but even the people on the remote Sky Island saw the terrifying giant standing between heaven and earth. Countless people looked at that giant with a shocked look on their faces. This what the hell is this! A Priests voice shivered. Sugar also moved silently and she walked out of the palace, she looked at the Earth Giant which was standing in the distance and her face changed for a while, and her pupils contracted. Whats that?! It should be the power of the man who occupied Skypiea. The Iron Wall Giant appeared next to her and replied with a somber expression on his face, This is getting troublesome now, I didnt expect his power to reach this level. Having said that, his face contracted a little as he said: Although this power cant break through my barrier but I also cant stop him, he can easily destroy this island if he wants to! When Sugar heard it, she panicked. If Angel Island is destroyed, she would have to carry a portion of the blame and in such a terrible incident, even if she only carries a portion of the blame, I am afraid her punishment would be more then just a ban on her candies. Hurry up, notify the Totto Land! I have already notified them. The Iron Wall Giant wore a depressed expression as he looked at the ugly Earth Giant towering over anything he has ever seen, and said, Im afraid that by the time Headquarters send someone over here, it would be too late. The atmosphere of Angel Island fell into mass panic. At the same time, on Holy Land Skypiea, Luffy and others looked up at the towering Earth Giant. In addition to the shock in their eyes, they could not help but feel like an insignificant being faced such a thing. This is crazy! The Earth Giant in front of them is almost comparable to this island, and they are not on the same level at all. Even if they try their best, they would only be smashed like a bug under that Earth Giant! This is the end. Enels depressed voice came from the Earth Giant. The Earth Giant raised its leg which was big enough to destroy a Battleship and the leg slowly came directly above Luffy and others and then stepped down. CHAPTER 402 ONE FIST PART 2 Luffy and others were shocked and their pupil contracted as they saw this scene and cold sweat ran down on their foreheads. At this time, Sanji took the lead in responding and shouted: Escape! Run! Sanjis voice awakened the shocked Nami and others, and everyone fought desperately to flee to the distance. Fortunately, the Earth Giant was not fast and they desperately tried to escape, and eventually escaped before the foot fell and trampled the area. The problem is that although they escaped the area which was trampled by the Earth Giant, the severe impact and shock caused by this foot fall still swept directly at Luffy Zoro and others! Boom! Boom! Boom! Everyone was blown out by that fierce impact. After being pushed back to tens of meters away, the crowd stabilized their bodies, and when they struggled to get up, they looked at the huge giant, but their backs were filled with cold sweat. Even if it is Luffy, it is difficult for him to raise any battle intent at this moment. It is not fear, but they do not know how to fight faced with such a huge monster! They thought that after defeating a Shichibukai, they would never have to run away as they did in Louge Town, but they didnt expect that after coming to the Sky Island, they would once again encounter a monster that made them feel desperate! Such a huge thing, even those monsters in Lougetown wouldnt be able to deal with it. Crash! While Luffy and his men were stiff, the giants legs were lifted up again. Enel had missed them this time and he had increased his speed a little. But the foot stopped in mid-air before it could go down, for Enels attention had shifted from Luffy and others to a figure directly in front of him, arriving at some point in the face of the Earth Giant. Luffy and others who were desperately escaping the trampled area of ??the giant looked up and faintly saw the figure floating in the sky. That is Everyone has a vague sense of familiarity as they saw this scene. After Namis eyes flickered a little, her pupil couldnt help but shrink as she recognized the figures identity. Even if she was far away, she still recognized this figure, because this figure has left an everlasting expression on her! Ghost Hand Ross! The person with a Bounty 3 Billion Berries the Strongest Man in the World! The moment she recognized Ross, Nami finally thought the Ghost Hand spoken by Enel. There was no doubt that he was referring to Ross. In other words, the ruler of this Sky Island was Ross, the big pirate standing on the top of the world! After thoroughly trying to understand the current situation, Nami looked at Ross in the sky, but her eyes couldnt help but change because the Earth Giant was so huge that Ross looked like an ant in front of it! Even if Ross is the Strongest Man in the world, faced with such a big Giant, I am afraid Namis eyes were filled with endless tension. Blue Sea People Enel depresseds voice came from the Earth Giant. The Earth Giant is controlled by him which is equivalent to him having the whole body of the Earth Giant and the sound of his voice is also loud that even the people on the remote island can clearly hear it. It really is you. Ross flew in the air while staring at the Earth Giant from a distance. His Observation Haki swept over and caught Enels body directly. He did not expect that it was really Enel and looking at him like this, he had really eaten the Logia Fruit, the upper-level fruit that could control earth Enels luck was really good. I didnt know I had this kind of power. Enels Earth Giant raised his giant hands and said: I am the real God! Ross looked at him indifferently, and said, Talking so much crap, cant you just fight? Enel was silent for a second and his depressed voice was heard all over the world. As you wish! Let me grant you this honor, Blue Sea Man Gods punishment! With Enels voice falling, the Earth Giant raised his arm and smashed into Ross in the air. Compared with the giant of the earth, Rosss body size is just like the gap between a mosquito and a human. The huge fist that hit towards Ross in the air was like the collapse of a mountain with an irresistible force. The sky seems to be falling down! Seeing this scene, Luffy, Zoro, and others faces changed but at this moment, they couldnt do anything at all and they could only look at the scene from the bottom. On the distant Angel Island, countless Sky Islanders are also feeling horror and fear. Although they cant see Ross from a long distance, they can hear Enels voice and they know that Ross has appeared and they also know that Enel is communicating with Ross and confronting him. Ross has ruled the Sky island for so long with absolute power and with the help of Laffittes hypnosis powers and his Distortion power, he had a thriving governance. It can be said. Rosss status in Sky Island is not only that of a god who had overwhelmed everything with absolute power but he is also an existence of awe and admiration to countless people. Despite Enels sheer strong force now, no one is going to give in to the idea of ??surrender, they are just looking in that direction with a worried face. His Highness Ross Gan Fall stood on the edge of the Angel Island, his face filled with worries. If Ross lost to this guy, they wouldnt be able to resist this terrifying power. By that time, it would be difficult for anyone to predict what the Angel Island would look like. Under the intense and worried attention of countless people, the Giant Earths arm finally swayed and smashed towards Ross. Just at this moment. Ross stood flat in the sky and also stretched out his right hand. He also pinched his fingers together and raised his fist, thus meeting the huge fist that Enel swung over. Even Rosss whole figure is not comparable to that of Giants fist and he looks like a mosquito, let alone Ross fist, which is almost as small as the tip of a needle. Just the next moment. The two fists collided against each other. The World seemed to have become silent and almost no sound was made, or even if there was a sound, it was just an extremely depressed muffled sound. It was as if the sound itself had been completely broken. At this moment. Countless faces glazed over, from Luffy and others to Gan Fall, On the Angel Island, the Iron Wall Giant responsible for protecting Sugar also looked at this scene with stunned silence. Everyone saw a Giant that was so large that it was comparable to that of an island, it towered between the heavens and the earth but the Giants entire right arm had disappeared without a trace, along with its right arm, half of its head and half of its chest had disappeared! Looking over at the huge hole. They saw that the higher clouds were divided in two from the center, exposing a clear blue sky, and spread all the way to the distance until the end of sight! Chapter 403 Defeating Enel There was silence between heaven and earth. Only the Giant of the Earth, who had lost his right arm, and half his chest and head, still stood between heaven and earth and did not fall. Its impossible Thats impossible! Enels voice came from the Earth Giant. The voice turned with a shudder and it was filled with fear and horror. Since receiving the power of the Earth Fruit, he had always felt that he has never been more stronger, especially when standing on the land of Skypiea, it seems that he can destroy an island by turning his hands. But. Even if he has such power, he is still not Rosss opponent! God Sanction! Enel bellowed, and the other arm, still in the air, rushed at Ross again, with a thick frown on its face. However, Ross just punched out again. Bang! There was a loud bang from their collision. The power of distortion filled the giant arm of the Earth Giant, and it spread all the way to his body so that his arm and the rest of its body were all broken. Kch! Kch! The Earth Giants whole body began to crack like an Egg and the soil blocks continue to fall off, eventually falling apart completely, and turning into countless clumps and scattered and countless parts of Earth splashed around. Seeing this scene, Luffy and others were completly stunned and they slowly came back to themselves with a shock in their eyes. Far away. On the top of the Angel Island Palace, Sugar looked at this scene from afar, but also took a long breath as she didnt have to worry about being punished by Ross. The Iron Wall Giant stood beside Sugar, his eyes were full of awe and admiration, and he couldnt help saying: Ross Sama is really too strong, I am still far behind him. After all, he is already the Strongest in the World. Sugar couldnt help whispering. Before she was taken away from Dressrosa, Ross was still a long way from becoming a Yonk (Four Emperors), at best, he was at Shichibukais level, but that time has passed, he has already reached the apex of this world. Her status as a special cadre of Ghost Hand Pirates is also rising. She can eat as much candy as she wants in Angel Island, and she can play whatever she wants. Hua! A big chunk of dirt hits Luffy and others in the face. This part of the earth seemed to be alive as it kept squirming and it struggled into Enels shape and made to stand up. But before it was fully condensed and formed, Ross fell from the sky, stepped on its head and he forced him to the ground again. Enel struggled desperately. Boom! Ross stomped again and the power of distortion hit Enels head and he fainted completely and no longer struggled. After putting down Enel, Ross turned his head to look at Luffy and others not far away, and raised his eyebrows slightly as he did not expect them to be on this Island and said: We meet again. That is When Nami saw Rosss eyes fall on her, she couldnt help but smile. She raised her hand to say hello to Ross and didnt know what to call Ross. Ross didnt care what she behaved like but asked her: The question is why are you here? Cough, cough, this Nami coughed twice, trying to say that they came here to deal with Enel, but Enel just beat them down and he was defeated by Ross in two moves, but she couldnt speak. Usopp was a bit afraid of Ross. Seeing Rosss expression was not good, he could not help but said quickly: Well, we heard that someone had taken Holy Land and we came here to help! Ohh? Ross glanced at Usopp a little strangely as he didnt quite believe what he had said. In his opinion, it should be Luffys idea to break into Holy Land to defeat someone strong, or Zoro got lost and brought the rest of them into Holy Land. He turned to look at Nami, and asked her, Is that true? Ah that, thats it. Nami responded quickly to Ross. Usopps instinct is to lie, but Nami is about the same, but with Rosss right hand on the hilt of the sword, and a little bit of soul-soul Fruit, Nami cant lie. Seeing this. Ross touched his chin. Since you broke into Holy Land because you want to deal with this guy, its understandable, you didnt violate the law of the Sky Island. The moment his voice fell, Ross raised his hand and patted Luffy and others. Buzz !! Before Luffy and others could respond, everyone was shrouded in some weird power and all of them flew up and soared into the sky, they accelerated in midair and flew towards the Angel Beach on the Angel Island in the distance. Usopp and Chopper screamed in fright. The crowd finally fell on Angel Beach, but because Angel Beach is a soft island cloud, their bodies became embedded in it and looked very funny. After patting away Luffy and others. Ross looked down at Enel, who was under his feet, with a slight smile. I didnt expect it to be the Earth-Earth Fruit. If it was the Stone-Stone Fruit used by Pica, the highest cadre of the Donquixote Family which had limited ability and has little effect at sea, but the Logia Earth fruit is at a completely different level! As one of Logias Devil Fruit abilities, the Earth Fruit may not be as good as Light, Ice, and Magma in terms of pure attack, but it is undoubtedly the greatest in terms of defensive properties. Just like Enels trick. The average person would have been swept away by a giant of that size, which had the ability to heal itself, and Enels tiny body, hidden deep within the Earth Giants body, was impossible to reach. It would take a force of Rosss magnitude to knock Enel out so easily. If it was anyone else, they wouldnt be able to do so. Even if Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru may be better than Enel, but that doesnt mean that they would be able to quickly finish the battle. Its a pity. After chuckling, Ross shook his head again. If this fruit was obtained by him, then he could have directly produced a peak level battle force like Hurricane incarnation, which is directly at the Marine Admiral level. Now that Enel has eaten this Devil Fruit, he can only make Enel into a puppet and it would be difficult for Enels Battle Powers to reach the level of a Marine Admiral. But. Enels battle strength can be directly displayed because no one in the Blue sea knows him. Unlike Golden Lion Shiki and Katakuri, if they appear, it will definitely cause an uproar. They cannot be used until the final battle or as a last resort. CHAPTER 404 CAPTAIN CONVENED! Enel was eventually taken back to the Cake Island Base. Ross cut out the fourth Soul Incarnation and made Enel into the fourth puppet, Enel of Naraka Path with the power of Logia! In terms of rank alone, the Earth Fruit is above the Mochi-Mochi Fruit of Katakuri, but the Devil Fruit of Katakuri has already awakened and is not much worse than the Earth Fruit, and Katakuri is proficient in Haki, so Enel is not as good as Katakuri. But. The Earth fruit also has its strengths, that is, it can easily create a huge giant of the earth, and it has a strong defense and regeneration ability! When it comes to large-scale attacks, Enel should be above Katakuri and the difference between their strength is not that much! Its almost time. Ross looked at the puppets in front of him, and the hurricane incarnation floating beside him and his eyes flashed. He turned around, took a deep breath, and said to Trafalgar Law: Notify all Captains, except for the Eighth Division and Ninth Division, all members are to come to the Cake Island base to gather! Finally Theres going to be a big move. Trafalgar Law, who had not stretched his muscles for a long time, answered, and went out at once, to inform the captains. Since their war with Whitebeard, the Ghost Hand Pirates havent had a full Captain rally in a long time. Somewhere on an island. Fujitora, who was betting on the dice in the casino, heard the whisper from the person next to him and raised his head slightly, his face showing a hint of innocence. Are you going to start? Somewhere on the sea, Shiliew of the Rain split a Pirate Ship in half, stepping on Gepp (Moonwalk) in midair while slowly retracting the blade and holding the cigar: Trash, for them to dare invade Totto Land Immediately after his voice fell, the Den Den Mushi in his arms rang and after Shiliew of the Rain answered, his eyes flickered slightly and he grinned, revealing a sense of happiness that had never been seen before. He turned around and dropped a few steps and returned to his ship, he ordered his subordinates: Set Sail, We are going back to the Cake Island! In a tavern, Ficheux Erman hugs a beautiful woman in one hand and he was burying his head in the chest of another with an intoxicated look on his face. Just then, the Den Den Mushi on Ficheux Erman sounded. Who?! A little displeased at the interruption, but after listening to Den Den Mushi, Ficheux Erman was so surprised that he stands up, nearly causing the two women to fall. On an empty plain somewhere. More than a dozen giants have gathered here, practicing and fighting each other. For the giants, they can spend a hundred years on a trivial matter. Their views on time are very different from humans. A few years are nothing for them. Hey! Hajrudin! All Division Captains are being called in! The Sand Giant Road came to Hajrudin while holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand and grinning at Hajrudin, and said, It looks like we are going to fight again. Hajrudin opened his eyes, and there was a flicker of light in his eyes. He stood up and said in a deep voice, It is our glory to fight for Captain Ross! Somewhere in the peaceful auditorium. Laffitte was holding the red wooden cane while leaning back on a chair, listening quietly to the piano music that rang through the auditorium. Just then, the Den Den Mushi rang, breaking the harmony of the piano. Well looks like its about to begin. After answering the Den Den Mushi, Laffitte stood up and smiled at the pianist, saying, Thats all for today. One day later. Inside Cake Island. Except for Captain Judge of Eight Division, Captain Boa Hancock of Ninth Division, and Captain Nico Robin of Sixth Division, all the other Captains are here! Due to the large territorial waters of Totto Land, plus many Captains responsible for different things, some Captains have not been here for one and a half years. Captain Shiliew, you seems to have become stronger again, Hohoho. Laffitte walked beside Shiliew and felt that Shiliews aura seemed to have changed, and he could not help but smile. Shiliew didnt answer. He held his cigar and gave a dangerous smile. Boss Ross hasnt come yet. Ficheux Erman curled his lips and said, We seem to have come here a little early. I knew I should have had some fun with those ladies. Trafalgar Law glanced at him and said, I dont know whats in it for being early, but if youre late for something like that, I think your bird might die. Ficheux Erman shuddered. Although Trafalgar Law is ranked below him, he is now more closely related to Ross, and the remark was offensive in itself, but he did not dare to pursue it. While the Captains were talking to each other, there was a sound of footsteps from outside the door, and Robin came in first. She was wearing a black cloak with the words Six embroidered on its sleeve. Fujitora and others are also wearing these cloaks. The cloaks cuffs are marked with One, Two, Three, Four and Five. This is a new cloak belonging to Totto Land Division Captain. Captain Robin, you are here. Ficheux Erman greeted Robin. He didnt care much about the other Captains, and he wasnt even afraid of Shiliew of the Rain and Fujitora, but he couldnt ignore Robin because the relationship between Ross and Robin couldnt be clearer. Isnt Lord Ross here yet? Laffitte also looked at Robin and asked a question. Robin took her own seat and said to Laffitte and others: He will be here soon. Almost as soon as Robins voice fell, footsteps sounded again. The door was pushed open again. A figure came in first. He was like a corpse with his head lowered and his arms hanging down, he walked into the door without a word and stood by the door. Then, a small Dragon Tornado visible to the naked eye flew in. The little Dragon tornado had eyes and mouths, and looked around curiously. At last. Ross came in, dressed in a black cloak and embroidered with blood-red cuffs. There were no Numbers on the cuffs, only two blood-colored lines. Master Ross. Boss Boss. Captain. The captains spoke to Ross when they saw him. They had been following Ross for more than a year and two years, and Rosss strength and style had made all the Captains feel at their ease. Even Shiliew was only dissatisfied with the position of Fujitora and he had no thoughts of rebelling against Ross. Everyone is here, good. Ross looked at the many Captains who were present and pointed his finger at the corpse-like figure next to him, saying, This is one of my puppets and he will be participating in this operation. His strength is not inferior to everyone present here. When Ross said this, the eyes of everyone in the room flashed. Naturally, they will not question whether Rosss words are true or false, but if they are true and this puppet has the strength close to them than Ross has a secret power that none of the Captains are aware of except for those who are involved in it. CHAPTER 405 LET THE BEASTS BECOME HISTORY! The Hurricane incarnation here is also not inferior to everyone here. After simply explaining that the corpse-like thing was his own puppet, Ross spoke again and pulled the hurricane incarnation. Buzz !! The Hurricane incarnation was deformed and compressed instantly by Ross, and turned into a wind ball with a bright white light, faintly exhaling a heartbreaking aura. Everyone present here was a strong man who was proficient in Haki. Their Observation Haki simply perceived this scene and they all know how terrifying the power contained in this wind ball is! In addition to the newly-added Eighth Division and Ninth Division Captain in these years, two powerful Captain-level combat powers were added at once, and Ficheux Erman and other people present could not help but look at the changes with shock. The Ghost Hand Pirates have become stronger and it is naturally a good thing, but it also means that Ross authority will become more terrifying. Even these people here are not necessary for the Battle power for Totto Land. Naturally. They are also very clear that they are the original Division Captains who established Totto Land. As long as they do not violate certain principles, they will always remain at the Division Captains position. The reason why the Eighth and Ninth Division were not notified this time is that this operation will be a covert operation and will not be made public. Ross walked to his position, and glanced at the Division Captain on the left-hand side and the Division Captains on the right-hand side, and said in a deep voice. The Division Captains present have actually guessed what will happen next, and Fujitora and Robin and others have already known for a long time. Thats right. Our next move is to Destroy the Beast Pirates! This sentence sounded in the hall but it did not make any waves of surprise. Even the expressions on the Division Captains faces did not change. Its not the old-time now! At that time, it was very difficult for them to defeat the Beast Pirates, let alone destroy them. But today, they are already the Strongest Pirate Force in the world! In this sea, apart from the World Government, there is no force that can make them concede, not even the other Yonk (Four Emperors)! It looks like the death knell of the Beast Pirates is about to ring, Hohoho. Laffitte smirked and broke the silence and laughter rang in the hall. Ross is very satisfied with the many Division Captains present here. No one disputed against his words and no one asked for reasons. This is his favorite situation. So. Now, lets talk about the main points of this operation. After a pause, Ross said slowly: The Beast Pirates are now camped in the Country of Peace, and the location of the Country of Peace has been locked by our intelligence team. This time, we will take the initiative to invade the Country of Peace. Kaido and the leader of the Country of Peace Black Snake are now in a cooperative relationship. The specific intelligence about this Black Snake is not clear, but his strength will not be inferior to the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates, otherwise, there wouldnt be a relationship as Kaido would have killed him. Having said that, Rosss tone became a little more serious. That is to say, this time we are facing the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates, the two Sweet Commanders of BIGMOM Pirates that fled and the Black Snake. Fujitora would have no problem in dealing with the most powerful of the Three Disaster and the same could be said for the Hurricane incarnation and Shiliew of the Rain as both of them could suppress the remaining two Disaster. Ficheux Erman and the grown-up Trafalgar Law are enough to deal with the remaining two Sweet Commanders. As for the Black Snake, Hajrudin would have no problem in dealing with him. As for the other Battle forces of the Beast Pirates. The Giant Corps, the other Division Captains, and the Naraka Path Enel are enough to deal with them! As for the Hundred Beast Kaido, he would be naturally dealt with by Ross himself. In their previous encounter, he was unfamiliar with his new abilities and was only able to draw a tie with Hundred Beast Kaido, but now his strength is completly different from that time! Even if Kaido becomes even stronger and improves on his Haki and powers but his improvement is far less than Ross, and it is impossible for Kaido to compare with Ross. That is to say Are we the only ones who are going? Fujitora asks Ross after listening to his brief introduction. Ross didnt answer. Robin stepped in to answer the question, her lips lifted, her eyes relaxed, and she said, Besides the Captain, there is the legion of Giants and the present Division Captains, including the Eighth Division Captain Reiju. Fujitora heard that and nodded slightly. If this is the case then they will not carry any other forces and even with these forces, it is enough to turn the country on its head. Even if they cannot destroy their enemy, it will not be too difficult to defeat them. When would we act? Shiliew asked slowly as he exhaled a puff of smoke from his cigar and a faint wisp of ice appeared on his body, giving the ground a frozen texture beneath his feet. Ross looked at him, smiled slightly, and said: Right now. There is no advance notice, and a notice is direct action. Not to mention the Beast Pirates, it is impossible for even the World Government to know anything in advance and before the invasion of the Country of Peace, I am afraid that no one would know anything. The Battle power of the Beast Pirate Regiment and the specific battle plan will be read carefully by Robin, and Ross narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Division Captains, saying, Failer is not allowed in this battle. I want to make the Beast Pirates into a history! Just as the Division Captains and many others assembled on the Cake Island. On the Grand Line, the Straw Hat crew arrived at Water Seven and finally made a big noise there as they confronted the new CP9 of the World Government and eventually defeated the new CP9 and rescued Franky. This news caused the World Government a big headache. The World Government had never thought that the CP9 would be defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, causing Plutons designs to fly away from their grasp. And. When the World Government questioned Marine Admiral Aokiji, who was in charge of the matter, Aokiji shied away from that by saying that the spy organization Cypher Pole had been involved in this matter and he could not intervene making the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) angry with him for a while. The Water Seven incident has attracted the attention of the World Governments senior management. Various intelligence agencies have never discovered that many Division Captains of the Ghost Hand Pirates have gathered together and they are heading towards the depths of New World together with the Giant Corps and many Division Captains. Their marching goal, the Country of Peace. The route they were taking is the sky! The possibility of being found at sea was almost eliminated and by the time the World Government became aware of anything, the incident will be over. They cant be stopped by anything and the Ghost Hand Pirates will completely turn the world upside down again with their action. CHAPTER 406 EARLY The Country of Peace. At a height of about three kilometers from sea level, a ship is flying in the clouds and moves steadily and smoothly. Ross and Fujitora take turns to control the ship as they alone can maintain it in the sky. Is that the Country of Peace? Trafalgar Law came to the deck and looked down, he could see the obliquely lower area. An island covered by a special current appeared. Laffitte stood by the side and looked at Eternal Pose before he said, If this Eternal Pose isnt broken, then yes, this is the Country of Peace. Lets go down. Ross said calmly and he raised his foot and stepped on it gently, the power of distortion was used and the whole ship began to land downward, and finally came to the shore of the Country of Peace and entered the sea smoothly. With one step, Shiliew with a cigar in his mouth leaped from the deck and landed on the shore, and looked ahead. Tuk, Tuk. Fujitora, holding a wooden staff, slowly walked down the ramp. Ficheux Erman and Laffitte and others also jumped down one by one and landed on the shore, and finally, the Giant Corps and others also come down. Are we going straight to Kaido? Shiliew asked Ross. He couldnt wait any longer. The last time he fought against the Beast Pirates, they had ended that war in a draw and he couldnt kill his opponent. This time, the forces gathered here are for the purpose of destroying the Beast Pirates and he was naturally aggressive. Lets go for morning tea first. On the contrary, Ross was not in a hurry, and said casually: It is right to let them come here, let alone we havent had breakfast yet. Laffitte laughed hearing Rosss words and Trafalgar Law smiled thinking that Ross had come to the Country of Peace to drink morning tea. Looking at this sea and the area, how many people can do this kind of thing? !! Lets go. Ross said casually and then walked forward, Shiliew and others followed behind him, showing different expressions on their faces. Thats right. They would just drink morning tea and wait for Kaido to come to them. The entire group walked forward and soon came to a small town called Leak Town, which is a small town in the Country of Peace. On the edge of the Leak Town, there is a teahouse, Ross and others walked around casually. Excuse me, what do you need eh ?! There was a young girl who was about the same height as Hancock in the teahouse. She was a little taller than Ross. She was wearing a cute kimono, and her eyes were pure and moving. She looked at Ross and others with a look of surprise. The people in the Country of Peace are dressed differently from those in other regions. The appearance of Ross and others has a strangeness, which is clearly incompatible with the Country of Peace. You are Outsiders?! The tea house waitress, Daisy looked at Ross and others in amazement. Ross looked at Daisy and said to himself, She is pretty. She is just a little taller. Robin smiled and said, I think youre a little shorter. Ross: Ross turned his head and glanced at Fujitora, Ficheux Erman, and others, and they all looked at the front of themselves with an expression that said that they didnt hear anything. Ross went over to Daisy and while he was talking about serving tea, his other hand whipped out and a tiny power of distortion shot out from his sleeve and landed on Robins chest. Uh. Robin flushed but she calmed down instantly. With a trace of her fingerless movement, a hand sprouted from the inside of Rosss cloak, gripping toward something. Ross, looking unchanged and defending himself against Robins attack with Armament Haki, says, Your teahouse is a little small. Bring a table outside. This Daisy was still sweating from her forehead and she didnt know how to deal with the current situation for a while. The Country of Peace has been closed for a long time and due to the influence of the special currents, there are very few foreigners who can reach the Country of Peace and all foreigners are regarded as criminals and they are all arrested. Daisy bit her lips and said, You guys should leave here quickly. This country is very unfriendly to foreigners. It may attract the soldiers to come here later. Dont worry. Ross waved at Daisy and said indifferently, We just came here for morning tea and well talk to Hundred Beast Kaido later. Daisy was speechless and the corner of her mouth was twitching. In this Country of Peace, who doesnt know the name of Kaido, he is a powerful pirate that is cooperating with the Black Snake and now, even Black Snake seems to have just become Kaidos men! Are these people crazy? And at this time, a woman wearing the same kimono came out, she was the boss of this tea house. Daisy, go make tea. Tsuru said to Daisy. Daisy stared for a moment and said, Ohh? But then Tsuru shook her head and said, Its okay, just go and make the tea. These people dont seem to have come here looking for their death. Besides, they want to drink tea. How can we stop them from drinking tea in a teahouse? Daisy bit her lip, her hesitation flashing on her face and she eventually walked into the tea house. Now were going to be implicated. She sighed inwardly. Very soon. A table was moved out and Ross sat down at random. Fujitora, Shiliew, and others did not mind and sat around the table. Daisy bit her lip and silently came over with the teapot, pouring tea one by one for Ross and others. And at this time, someone in the town not far away found Ross and others and he could not help but burst out in exclamation and the news spread quickly. A lot of outsiders have appeared in this town! This news spread through the small town at a rapid speed and even spread to the entire area before spreading to the whole Country of Peace. Just as Ross was finishing his first cup of tea, two strange-looking men appeared in town, their faces were filled with a cold expression. Well, its the Giver Daisy who is pouring the second cup of tea for Ross and her pupils shrinks slightly, her hands cant help shaking, and the tea spills on the table. Ross heard Daisys words and couldnt help showing a thoughtful expression. Givers, arent they the guys who ate Artificial Devil Fruit? But, isnt Caesar in my hands now? Thinking of this, Ross could not help but shake his head slightly. It seems that even without Caesar and Doflamingo, Hundred Beast Kaido still got Artificial Devil Fruit through other channels. But this should be normal, after all, there must be more than one scientist who knows how to make artificial Devil Fruit, and Vegapunk is probably not the only one. Boss, this Daisy didnt want to pour any more tea and turned to look at her Boss. At this moment, Tsuru was standing at the entrance of the tea house, watching the two Givers appearing from afar. Her eyes turned to look at Ross and others. The two Givers were getting closer. CHAPTER 407 GATHERS Outsiders have the audacity to show up here so blatantly. They have guts! Both Givers were natives who became Artificial Devil Fruit Users. At this moment, they have just arrived at this small town and saw Ross and others and their expressions turned cold. One of them had a huge machete in his hand, and his arm had long silver hair, like an orangutans arm. However. Neither Ross nor Fujitora looked at him. He came to the place closest to Shiliew and was about to use his machete to cut it down. There was a flash of coldness in Shiliew of the Rains eyes. He snorted, picked up the teacup and poured tea in the teacup. Kch! Kch! When the tea was poured, it condensed into ice and spread outward in an instant, directly freezing the orangutan like arm before freezing the entire body of the Giver! Seeing this scene, Daisy suddenly showed a look of shock and a look of unbelief also appeared on her face. Frozen, why is this The remaining Giver saw this scene and stare for a while, and then a look of horror appeared on his face. His expression suddenly became tense, and he did not dare to move forward. He yelled, You What have you done?! His tone was fierce, but there was a hint of trembling and fear in it. Shiliew was too lazy and completly ignored him. Run. Sitting next to him, Trafalgar Law took a sip from his teacup. Instead of looking at him, he looked at the table and said in a flat voice, If you want to live, run away. Even your bosss boss would be afraid to come here, so run away. Hohohoh, you scaring people. Laffittes smile and his figure suddenly disappeared silently, a dark shadow flashed and he appeared behind the Giver. The Giver only felt that his scalp was going explode and the hairs on his body were standing up. He almost wanted to escape, but a red wooden cane blocked him in an instant. Dont run away. Laffitte smiled and said with certain hypnotic magic in his voice: Go and tell Kaido that the Ghost Hand Pirates are here for a visit oh no, it should be said that the Ghost Hand Pirates are here to play, go. As Laffittes voice dropped, the Givers mind was filled with Laffittes words, which echoed back and forth. He ran as fast as he could and disappeared. And at the same time. Laffittes figure flickered as he disappeared again and when he reappeared, he was back where he had been sitting and he picked up the teacup again. The tea here is ordinary. Ficheux Erman took a small sip took a sip and said what he wanted to say, he looked over at Fujitora and said, Dont you think its hard to swallow? Fujitora smiles and takes a sip of tea, and says, A simple meal is enough to keep you satisfied. Ficheux Erman was speechless and said. Why drink rough tea when you can have good tea? Several people spoke one by one. After a long time, the shocked Daisy and Tsuru finally woke up. Tsuru had already guessed that the people who appeared here were not ordinary people and she was right. The Givers didnt even have a chance to touch any one of these people! But Ross and others seemed to be trying to challenge Kaido, which makes her heart sink. Kaido is terrifying and this a fact known to everyone in the Country Of Peace, Kaido is even more terrible than Black Snake! You guys Daisy looked at the Givers ice sculpture that had been frozen into ice and looked at Shiliew. Although she had returned to her senses, her eyes were still filled with shock. Ross glanced over at her side and said: Are you worried about us involving you, but if there is danger, there will also be rewards, drink your morning tea once, you will not drink it in vain. She tried to say something, but Robin interrupted. Robin took a sip from her teacup and said, Dont worry. It was your bad luck and your good luck to get caught up in this situation and it wont be long before your life will be different. Just as Ross and others continued to drink tea. Hundred Beast Kaido was sitting cross-legged in a sumptuous hall in the heart of the Kingdom of Peace, some miles away, taking a sip from a wine gourd. You are saying that the Ghost Hand is here? He took a sip of wine and looked at the person in front of him. His subordinate trembled and said: Yes! According to the Giver, he should be that Ghost Hand, and it seems that all the Division Captains are here. Oh. Hundred Beast Kaido snorted and put down the wine gourd, saying, In other words, they are here to fight. It should it should be the case. The subordinate shuddered and looked nervous. He is very clear that the Beast Pirates power had expanded over the years but the Ghost Hand Pirates are terrifying, once they fight, only one of the two is coming out that fight! What kind of madness did that Ghost Hand have for him to come to the Kingdom of Peace without a word to wage a war against them, he was just like their boss Kaido, he was a lunatic! Worororo! Kaido stood up and a domineering momentum suddenly swayed inside the palace. He grinned from ear to ear and said, For that Ghost Hand by to come to my territory for war, go and call Jack and others! Yes, Lord Kaido. The subordinate trembled in response and immediately ran out of the palace. In addition to Kaido in the palace, there is also a person sitting in the dark, he is the King of the Kingdom of Peace in all but name, the Black Snake. The Black Snake slowly opened his mouth and drank wine before saying: The Ghost Hand Pirates, arent they the strongest pirates in the sea? They do have some skills. Kaido touched the back of his head before taking the gourd and took another sip. The Black Snake said slowly: Since they have reached the Country of Peace, how can we not be indifferent, we must teach them a hard lesson. Following Kaidos order. Many Beast Pirates cadres in the Country of Peace gathered together at the fastest speed, and the Three Disasters were not far away at the moment, and they soon arrived. Ghost hand has that guy come to the Kingdom of Peace?! Smoothie, the former member of the Sweet Commanders of the BIGMOM Pirates suddenly stood up after learning this news and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. Snack standing next to her said coldly: He is so arrogant that he dared to come to the Country of Peace alone and came to the base camp of the Beast Pirates. This time, he will pay for his arrogance with his blood! Beast Pirates. Complete assembly! CHAPTER 408 POWER OF ONE FIS Now. All the villagers in town have disappeared without a trace, all of them had gone into hiding, and some of them had even fled to distant places. The only one left was Daisy and Tsuru who did not flee, because it was meaningless to escape as many people had seen them with Rosss entire group. Somehow we got involved in this kind of thing. Tsuru and Daisy are staying near Ross and others, also near the teahouse. The expressions on their faces cannot be determined. Tsuru frowned thoughtfully and said. If you have a chance later, you can run away, To where? Daisy said with a hint of helplessness in her tone, where can she escape in this Country of Peace. Tsuru said, Try to escape from the Country of Peace. Daisy shook her head, and when she was about to say something, the earth suddenly began to tremble slightly. Her face shifted slightly, sensing the direction the movement was coming from, and she couldnt help looking in that direction, but there was nothing there. Dong! Dong! The tremor of the earth began to grow stronger as time went on. The nearby Tsuru also noticed that something was wrong and looked up in the direction that Daisy looked. Although there was nothing in that direction, a depressive aura had already shone over to this side and the entire sky seemed to have become cloudy for a moment. They are coming here. Ross glanced at the teacup on the table. The remaining half of the tea in the teacup was now rippled as the earth trembled. Shiliew and others are still sitting in the same place, all looking the same, all the people present are already standing at the apex of the sea, and these situation doesnt scare them, especially not when they had come here for this. Thunk, thunk, thunk. As the sound got louder and louder, many dark shadows appeared in that direction. At first glance, everyone was of a different strange shape, and all were men of power. The Beast Pirate Regiment army! With the emergence of the Giver Legion, the larger shadows gradually became clearer. It was a huge mammoth, it was the drought Jack one of Three Disasters! As time went by, on the other side, there also appeared the figure of a tall woman, the former BIGMOM Pirates Commander, Smoothie! How come This number is too exaggerated, no, even the Three Disasters Tsuru and Daisy stared at the dark figure, and couldnt help feeling a bit of suffocation, even though the other party was far away, but the feeling of oppression seemed to be surging upside down. In the face of such a huge army, let alone ordinary people, even another army would be scared shitless to the point where they wouldnt be able to pick up their weapons. Lets go. Ross was the first to get up and put down his cup. Fujitora and others rose to their feet and followed Ross as the entire group walked towards the Army of Givers. Tsuru and Daisy also saw this scene and they couldnt help breathe heavily, this group of people really wanted to fight against the Beast Pirates! Step! Step! Step! The Three Disasters have appeared, the two Sweet Commanders have also appeared together, in addition to these five people, there is also one other person who is not weaker than any of the five people, there is no doubt that he is the Black Snake. Behind these six men, a heavy, mountainous figure appeared, and every step it took seemed to shake the ground. It was Hundred Beast Kaido! That guy is Ghost Hand Ross? He doesnt look like much. Some of the native people in the Giver Army watched from afar as they came, they stood in front of Ross and someone spoke. Ross had no huge body and no special appearance. He doesnt look like a strong person and instead, it looked like he could be knocked down with a single punch. Watch me as I fill him with my arrows A Giver narrowed his eyes and grabbed his bow and arrow, he aimed at Ross from far away. If he could shoot Ross with an arrow, that would be a great achievement. How could you shoot someone that Lord Kaido wants to deal with? The person next to him shook his head to stop him but he did not stop. He wanted to shoot this Ross and if Ross is accidentally shot to death, it will be a great success. But. Before the Giver could fire his arrow, Rosss entire group stopped, and Ross, in his black clock looked at Hundred Beast Kaido. It has been a long time since I last saw you, Kaido. Buzz !! !! This sentence fell and a stream of Haoshoku Haki spread directly in front of the person with the bow and arrow. The Giver felt like a rat who was standing in front of a Lion, he felt an irresistible pressure that was crushing his chest, making his breathing extremely heavy. Ross ordinary-looking figure was suddenly magnified infinitely at this moment, completely occupying all his pupils. Immediately. His eyes rolled upwards and white foam spewed out of his mouth. He couldnt bear the shock of Haoshoku Haki and just passed out. Under Ross Haoshoku Haki, the Givers Legions march has stopped in an instant, and dozens of Givers in the front fell down one after another like Dominos. It wasnt until Hundred Beast Kaido also released his Haoshoku Haki that Rosss momentum was stopped. You came to my place and used your Haoshoku Haki, it seems like you really want to decide a victor this time. Ghost Hand Boy Just because you defeated that Old man Whitebeard, do you think that you can also defeat me. Hundred Beast Kaido didnt show any anger, but instead, he stared at Ross and an oppressive aura swelled up naturally. Ross spoke frankly: Yes, I came here to destroy you. Seeing Rosss straightforward purpose, Hundred Beast Kaido grinned at Rosss directness as it felt very much in tune with his temperament, and said: Want to take away my head, you can come and try! Whiz! Almost as soon as Hundred Beast Kaidos voice fell, Ross himself took a step forward and disappeared abruptly. When he reappeared, Ross was already in front of Kaido. He was floating in the air, his right fingers were folded into a fist, and the power of distortion surrounded his fist. Buzz !! !! Ross punched at Kaido. Hundred Beast Kaido roared and he also punched out with his fist. The Dark Armament Haki attached to his fist also inspired his own power to the extreme. No one had thought that Ross would attack directly after saying a few words. The Givers who were closest to Kaido failed to make any response as two earth-shattering forces collided against each other. Bang!!!!! Two fists of disproportionate size collided against each other in the empty space. The entire Void seems to have turned into a lake in an instant, with visible ripples that swing in all directions centered on the collision of Ross and Kaidos fists. Almost for an instant, the earth at Kaidos feet began to roll like the waves, sweeping away. The power of one punch was world-shaking! CHAPTER 409 OUTBREAK Ahhhh! Countless Givers were terrified. They were directly involved in the aftermath without any resistance. The Givers who were too close got their entire body fragmented and they died in a matter of seconds, and those who were a little further away got heavily injured and blood sprayed from their mouth, the sound of broken bones could also be heard from their bodies. Only the main Cadres of the Giver, True Fight, and the higher-level cadres like Three Disasters and others kept their body shape intact in this aftermath, but they all took a deep breath and retreated. Ghost Hand Smoothie stared at Ross whose fist had collided against Kaidos fist, despite her hatred, a shudder appeared in her eyes at this moment. Even if she was a former Commander, in front of Ross at this moment, she could not bring up any Battle Intent, because her Observation Haki could perceive how big the gap is between herself and Ross. And. More importantly. Smoothie felt very clearly that Rosss momentum and power today has surpassed that of his power at the time of BIGMOM Battle! You seem to be getting stronger, Kaido. As Rosss power of distortion and Kaidos fists collide, the aftershock swings away, causing the earth to roll like an ocean wave and he also opens his mouth and said to Kaido. At the moment his voice fell, Ross lowers his voice and plunges forward with his right fist, pushing Kaidos fist forward. Boom! The turbulent power of distortion suddenly exploded. Everyone present saw Hundred Beast Kaido pushed directly towards the rear, and the great bulk of him fell and retreated a few meters by taking a dozen steps in succession, and then his figure got dragged back to a distance of a few meters. Seeing this scene, Shiliew and others did not show any unexpected expressions, but the many people of the Beast Pirates and even the Three Disasters and others showed a stunned and shocked expression. Kaido Sama! How how is that possible! Countless people exclaimed. Hundred Beast Kaido was repelled head-on by Ross, and was beaten back by one punch! The Three Disasters know how strong Hundred Beast Kaido is. Even if they do their best and attack Kaido, Kaido would be standing still without even taking a step back in front of their attack but at this moment, Ross threw him back! You got stronger. Ross looked at Kaido and slowly retracted his fist, and said, But I have also become stronger. Hundred Beast Kaidos face was calm and no one could see any expressions on his face. Whiz! Ross didnt stop. He raised his foot in the air and immediately used Sound Explosion. He stepped on Gepp (Moonwalk) and rushed towards Kaido, and then punched again. The current Kaido may have gotten a little stronger, but Rosss power is already comparable to the peak of Whitebeard, or it may be even better! Bang! Another punch fell. The ground beneath Hundred Beast Kaidos feet cracked directly and the cracks spread in all directions like a spiders web, the veins of Kaidos massive arms were bursting out but he could not resist the force behind Rosss fist! Kaido Sama! One of the Three Disasters screamed and he wanted to come forward subconsciously, but at this moment, a small Dragon tornado flew out of Ross sleeve. The little Dragon tornado came directly into the air, waving his small arms visible to the naked eye, and issued a crisp, super fierce shout. Ahhhh! Multiple wind blades! Its adorable appearance, however, cannot hide its potential and terrifying power. Inspired by Rosss soul incarnation, the power of the Hurricane Fruit was led out and it instantly turned into a storm that covered the sky. Countless wind blades swept towards the entire Beast Pirate group. Those wind blades fell on the Givers and almost destroyed some of them, no one could resist this attack and wherever they went, the earth was also cut with cracks! Damn it! Get away! Jack the Drought yelled and appeared into the shape of a Mammoth, hitting the Wind Blades hard and crashing into the hurricane, which prevented multiple blades form attacking the Beast Pirates. At the same time, the other two of the Three Disasters also acted in unison but before they could start to move, a few light spots appeared in the sky, breaking through the cloudy sky. It was a few meteorites that fell from the sky! I will also do my best. Fujitora held the Staff Blade and was just in front of one of the Three Disasters. Immediately after, Shiliew waved his blade across the ground and the cold wave swept across the ground, instantly freezing the entire front and spreading all the way towards the last of the Three Disasters. The Three Disasters were blocked for a moment, with Smoothie and Snack both in a daze, but just because they didnt move, doesnt mean no one was looking for them. Watch out! Ficheux Erman charged towards Smoothie. ROOM. Trafalgar Law walked towards Snack, his eyes were calm and indifferent, behind the two, Rosss Nakara incarnation followed. The Nakara incarnation directly blocked the BIGMOM remnant party. The alive Oven and Perospero are in front of him. Oven and Perospero had the bounty of over 500 Million Berries, but faced with Nakara incarnation, they are blocked and they cant move forward. Hohohoho. Laffitte waved his staff and he saw that one of the sides was having little difficulties so he simply walked here to fill the Battle Force vacancy here. Robin folded her arms gently and said. Here we go. Her eyes were calm, even if she is on such a battlefield, it will not cause any ripples in her heart. This is the growth of the Ghost Hand Pirates, this is the growth that allowed them to stand at the peak of the sea. On the other side, Thunder Giant Hajrudin was directly looking for the Black Snake of the Kingdom of Peace, he embraced the void with both hands and a huge thunder ball fell out of the sky and it rushed towards the ugly face of the opponent. Lets go! Let this army of Givers know the power of our Giant Corps! The Sand Giant Road and others roared at this moment and Road set off a towering wave of sand, bound with countless steel sword and he pushed it toward the Givers. From Rosss punch to the present, within half a minute, the Battle had burst into full swing. And far away. At this moment, both Tsuru and Daisy are showing a shocked look on their faces. Whether it is the meteorites falling from the sky or the frozen land, the strength of Rosss team is undoubtedly beyond their imagination! Especially Ross who was able to push back Hundred Beast Kaido by using his own powers. Daisys eyes were already full of shock. Its unbelievable that Rosss body which is similar to ordinary people and which is even a little shorter than herss posses this kind of power! CHAPTER 410: THE BEGINNING OF THE COLLAPSE Bang! Bang! Bang! For a while, sounds of fighting filled the Country Of Peace, the was between two of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates seemed to tear the entire country apart and countless people evaded and rushed out in panic, but there was no place to retreat. The civilians of the Country of Peace are even more terrified. Various people who are hiding in a remote area of ??the country are also shocked by the violent earthquake. The two people in the teahouse were also panic-stricken as they saw a mountain peak getting collapsed by the earthquake. And nine miles away from the Kingdom of Peace. On the entire battlefield, the most powerful and shocking battle is between Ross and Hundred Beast Kaido. It can be said that every one of their hit is like an earthquake and the aftershocks release terrifying waves of energy. Not to mention ordinary people, even pirates with bounties of tens of millions of Berries wouldnt be able to do anything at this battlefield, it would be near impossible for them to even resist the aftermath. There is no doubt that Ross had only brought the Elites of the Ghost Hand Pirates which is not a problem seeing that except for Captain and Division Captain, those so-called elites can only be used as cannon fodder in this level of battlefield. Bang! Bang! Bang! Each time Rosss punch fell, he knocked Hundred Beast Kaidos body back and even directly embedded half of his body into Underground. The last time he fought against Kaido, he could only fight against Hundred Beast Kaido by virtue of his speed and the special ability of the Distortion space. This time, he simply suppressed Kaido by relying solely on the positive outbreak of the power of distortion! There is no need to use forces such as Distortion space. That guy how could he be so strong The Beast Pirates observed Ross and Kaidos Battle from a distance and their faces were filled with panic. Many of them who have followed Hundred Beast Kaido from the very beginning are also shocked in their hearts. Even Whitebeard could not strike Kaido back with his fist. Hundred Beast Kaido also did not expect that Rosss strength would reach such a level, such growth in strength has far exceeded his expectations. In this world, there is a limit to the growth of strength, and when it comes to a world-class peak battle force such as Marine Admiral, it is difficult for them to improve their strength even by a little. Even a Devil Fruit couldnt do it. Otherwise, wouldnt Garp eat a Devil Fruit that could increase his speed and power by a hundred times, wouldnt it take just one punch from him to shatter the entire Grand Line? However, the fact is that at the level of Garp, Devil Fruit has little effect on him and they cannot improve his strength by much. But. Rosss existence, however, seems to defy this rule! In just a few years, Hundred Beast Kaido now felt that he was no longer Rosss opponent at all. Perhaps Ross might not have beaten him in their previous two fights, but currently, he had almost no chance of winning in a One-on-One fight! Bang! Ross punched again with his Distortion Fist, hitting Kaidos arm. The Power of distortion passes through Kaidos defense and hits his body, hurting him and the corners of his mouth overflow with blood. Currently, the pain and damage caused by Rosss Distortion Fist is even above the all-out attack of Whitebeards Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi)! Kaido was beaten without being able to do any counterattack and Ross attacked him freely. He hasnt been able to let go in a long time as he fully unleashed his Battle power. Fortunately. Kaidos physique is strong enough to handle his brutal beatings. Otherwise, this Battle would be like his many previous Battles where he would win without any effort as the opponent would be long dead. The stronger the strength, the harder it is to find excitement in the Battle, which is a pity for those who love Battle. Ross was vaguely aware of what it was like to be a certain Bald Man in a certain world. Bang! Another punch fell. Kaido crossed his arms and blocked the punch above his head. He was already using his Armament Haki to the limit. The two forces continued to conflict in Void. Rosss arm jerked slightly, and with a loud roar, his fist pressed down as he put even more power behind it. Boom! Kaidos resistance failed. The ground at Kaideos feet collapsed in a fragmentary form, and several hundred meters of the area directly turned into a pit. Kaido also fell into the Underground, and the earth and stones splashed around. Cough! Kaidos mouth and nose are full of blood. Lord Kaido! Jack the Drought, one of Three Disasters was closest to Kaido. He looked at this scene and blood appeared in his eyes. In his eyes, Kaido is almost invincible. No one can fight him in a one-on-one match and now that same Kaido was hit by Ross so badly! Youre distracted. At this moment, Fujitoras voice came from above Jacks head. Fujitoras eyes were closed and the sword in his hand had been pressed against Jacks head and a terrifying gravity was pressing down upon him. Jacks face changed drastically and he roared and tried to resist but it was too late. He only felt his head getting hit hard and he instantly became drowsy, his neck also made a kchkch sound. When the power of the gravity blade dissipates. Jack climbed out of the collapsed earth pit with difficulty, only to feel that everything in front of him is moving around in circles and after taking two steps, he finally couldnt hold it and his eyes rolled over, Jack the Drought passed out. One of the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirate Regiment, Jack The Drought Defeated! Jack! Jacks defeat also triggered a series of chain reactions. Another one of the Three Disasters not far from here watched this scene and his expression change dramatically. His tactics quickly became flawed. The person who id fighting him is the Second Division Captain Shiliew of the Rain. Shiliews strength today has truly reached the level of an Admiral and he is almost on par with Fujitora. He noticed a flaw in his opponent in front of him and there was naturally only one end result. Siii! Shiliews blade penetrated his opponents chest. An extremely cold force spread from the blade and starting from the internal organs to the flesh skin, the entire figure of his opponent is turned into an Ice sculpture, the expression of horror and unwillingness were still on his and they would remain there Eternally. I didnt expect you to defeat your opponent faster than me. Shiliew drew out his blade and turned to look at Fujitora while exhaling a cloud of smoke. Fujitora also put the blade back into its scabbard and lowered it gently, he touched the back of his head and smiled broadly while saying, Its just a fluke. Humph. Shiliew snorted. He knew Fujitoras character, he is modest on the surface and held pride within him, otherwise, he wouldnt have been able to hold him down until now. In the current Totto Land, he doesnt have any ideas about Ross status. Instead, he paid attention to Fujitoras position, he still has a hope to grab it. CHAPTER 411 DESPAIR With the defeat of the two of the Three Disasters, the battlefield where the remaining BIGMOM Pirates were fighting also brought major problems. Dont look over there. Ficheux Ermans voice rang in Smoothies ears. She didnt know when he had appeared on her side and a bullet shot precisely into Smoothies body. Smoothies Kenbonshoku (Observation) perceives Ficheux Ermans movements, but due to the distraction, and the fact that Ficheux Ermans bullet is accelerated, she has difficulty in avoiding it and she barely moved her body back a bit. Si! The bullet crossed her chest, leaving four blood holes. The severe pain made Smoothie scream. Although she immediately used her ability to close the wounds, she inevitably fell on defending position. Ficheux Ermans figure flickered and he had already taken advantage of Smoothies wounds as he fired three consecutive shots at Smoothies heart and neck. Smoothie barely avoided them. Bang! Ficheux Erman kicked Smoothies lower abdomen with one kick and he kicked her upside down, she spits blood from her mouth but she still insists on standing up. But at this moment, a light flashed. Si! Si! Si! Smoothies body instantly broke apart in eight pieces. With Trafalgar Laws ability, her arms, legs, and feet, as well as her torso were all cut open. Although she was not physically harmed, she completely lost her Battle ability. Hey! Dont interfere with my Battle, you bastard. Ficheux Erman looked at Trafalgar Law with dissatisfaction. Law was holding the Cursed Blade (Yt) Kikoku and he was standing before the body of Snack and spoke calmly, You were moving to slow. Its over, Beast Pirates. Laffitte fired a shot that penetrated Perosperos head, he glanced at the battlefield with an evil glint in his eyes and spoke to himself. Another Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates has fallen in their hand. Under Rosss command, the pace of their progress cannot be stopped, this has already become a trend, where they would sweep and shock the world again and again with their feats! Just like the Pirate King Roger. In the early days, Roger also fought against Whitebeard Pirate, Golden Lion Shiki, and others. He even fell into a disadvantage and was cornered by Garp several times. But each time he survived, each time he became a winner, victory after victory which laid the foundation for his ascent to the top of the sea! It can be said that at some point, the Roger Pirates were unstoppable. Sweeping the sea, both Golden Lion and Whitebeard retreated in front of the Roger Pirate because they knew that if they fought desperately, they will be defeated by the Roger Pirates. The Pirate King. Trafalgar Law was also quiet. Yes. Currently, Ross with his trend of sweeping the world is no different from the Pirate King, because neither the Whitebeard Pirates nor the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates can stop Ross. To go to Raftel or to collect the Road Poneglyph, it is just a matter of time. The trend is here! There is nothing that can stop them. Unfortunately, Captain is not interested in being the King Of The Pirate. Laffittes smile. He squinted his eyes and a deep light appeared in his eyes as he looked far away towards the direction of the Red Line and also the direction of World Government, Holy Land, Mariejois. The Beast Pirates were defeated by them. They have long defeated the Whitebeard Pirates and the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates wouldnt be able to go against them no matter how strong they are. Now on the whole sea, the only one standing at the top is Ross, standing in front of the Ghost Hand Pirates and their only opponent is the World Government! Far away. The only remaining one of the Three Disasters is still in a battle with the Hurricane Incarnation. Damn He gritted his teeth and looked pale, almost skeptical of life. Because of this Hurricane Incarnation which only posses a simple thinking process and has the IQ of a child was able to block him and was pushing him back! Not only was he blocked, but the more sad thing was also that he couldnt beat it! He cant beat a mental retard! You son of a bitch, what the hell is that He smashed various wind blades with one punch and roared towards the Hurricane Incarnation. Wind. The Hurricane incarnation replied while continuing to build momentum and attack him. The last of the Three Disasters felt that he might become mad before he was killed. Obviously his opponent was mentally retarded but he couldnt beat it. This feeling was the most painful in this world. At this time, a figure appeared on his left and right side. Ice Mourning Sword! Gravity Blade! Fujitora and Shiliew both kept their faces calm. They both pulled their swords at the same time and two attacks came from both sides, squeezing the last of the Three Disasters in the center. At the same time, the Hurricane Incarnation also shouted and compressed the violent wind, hitting from above, and pouring it into the skull of the last of the Three Disasters. Squish! Its like falling into a meat grinder. Under the combined attack of the three Admiral-level Battle forces, the Last Disasters failed to emit even a scream, and he was crushed into countless blood-red crystals that scattered all over the place. Even Ficheux Erman in the distance couldnt help but get stunned as he watched this scene. So miserable. Fortunately, he is from the Ghost Hand Pirates and not from the Beast Pirates. With the three Disasters and the remaining BIGMOM Pirate Regiment all defeated, the last one, Black Snake was also close to getting defeated. Thunder Spear! Hajrudin yelled and innumerable thunder and light turned into a spear of thunder and he threw it towards Black Snake. Black Snake barely blocked the attack but he still stumbled back. Currently, Hajrudin has fully developed the power of Rumble-Rumble Fruit. His strength has even surpassed Ficheux Erman, reaching the ranks of Fujitora and Shiliew. In front of him, the Black Snake was obviously not his match! Crackling. After hitting Black Snake with his attack, Hajrudin stopped his pace and did not attack immediately. Instead, he floated in the air and looked at Black Snake with cold eyes while his body was interweaving between thunder and lightning. Black Snake gritted his teeth and looked at Hajrudin in the air, but then the hairs on his neck stood up to their end and he subconsciously looked around him and saw a figure walking slowly along with two revolvers in his hand. Totto Land Third Division Captain, Ficheux Erman! He looked in the other direction and saw a man carrying a long blade. His eyes were calm and indifferent, and he came slowly to this side. Totto Land Fourth Division Captain, Trafalgar Law! His forehead was overflowing with cold sweat and he turned his head slightly. He looked behind him from the corner of his eyes and saw two figures approaching him from left and right, and the aura around the one person was really frightening. Everywhere he went, there were traces of ice on the ground, and the other person is holding a wooden staff while he came towards him at a steady pace. Totto Land First Division Captain, Fujitora Issho! Totto Land Second Division Captain, Shiliew of the Rain! Its over. Laffitte also turned his cane and walked from a distance and then Robin appeared, and finally the Hurricane incarnation turned into a small Dragon tornado and came from the sky. Seven teams, seven Division Captain. Surround the Black Snake in the center. At this moment, all the blood drained from Black Snakes face as he became pale and there was only one emotion left in his heart, that is Despair! Chapter 412 Marine’s Shock Bang! Bang! Bang! Each time Ross punched out, Hundred Beast Kaido couldnt resist it and flew backward, his stamina was also consumed a lot. From sky to the ground, and from the ground to the coast, a town was completely shattered, and even the entire area around the small town was completely shattered. Finally. Ross threw a punch and hit Kaidos body, causing Kaidos body to fly out for many kilometers and smashing the ground into thousands of huge horizontal trenches and then, everything was completely silent. Yonk (Four Emperors) Hundred Beast Kaido Defeated! From now on, there is no Yonk (Four Emperors) as there are now only Three Emperors! It looks like its over. Judging that Kaido was making no movement and he also didnt get up, Fujitora and others who had completely defeated the remaining Beast Pirates looked at this side. With Rosss current strength, it is naturally not difficult for him to break Kaidos undead body and kill him completely, but killing Kaido in this way is a wasteful act, Ross intends to make Kaido into one of his fighting powers. Anyway. This battle is finally over. Or it should be said that the battle was over incredibly fast, and many people have a vague and unrealistic feeling about it. A Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirate, were they really destroyed so easily? It is not that the Beast Pirates were weak, but the strength of the Ghost Hand Pirates is too strong. Even if Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates appear in the Country of Peace now, the Ghost Hand Pirates can still continue to fight again and defeat the second Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates! This way, Totto Lands territory has been expanded by half. Laffitte smiled as he watched this scene. Because Ross was not interested in becoming the Pirate King or anything like that and they have also destroyed the Beast Pirates, it meant that theyre almost at war with the World Government, the monster that has ruled the World for 800 years. Whether it was the Pirate King Roger of the last era, or the Pirate Rox before him, or any invincible character before him, no one has been able to shake the World Government. But. To the current Ghost Hand Pirates, the defeat of the World Government does not seem to be a distant task anymore. Its over. At the edge of Leak Town, Daisy and Tsuru both noticed that the constant earthquake had disappeared. They looked up and saw that the battlefield in the distance was already in a mess. Their minds became blank for a second as they saw the scene in front of them. They saw that the leader of the Giver was killed like a chopped melon. They saw that the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirate Regiment were killed by Fujitora and others. They saw that the Black Snake, the leader of the country was surrounded by Fujitora and others and issued an unwilling roar, which was extremely miserable in the end. It turned out that these people had killed the Beast Pirates. For them, this is a scene of unrealism and they felt as if they are dreaming, but even if they dream, they dont think that they have the imagination to make this all up! The Kingdom of Peace is about to change. Tsuru took a deep breath after a long time and slowly recovered, she looked at the battlefield from afar and spoke in a deep voice. Because the Country of Peace is closed to the outsiders. After the destruction of the Beast Pirates, it took some time before the news was passed on to Marined and World Government. Marines and the World Government are shaking as they heard this news! How is this possible! Fleet Admiral Sengoku was standing in his office against the table with a grim expression on his face. Are you kidding me? He actually attacked and killed the Beast Pirate silently! The overall current combat power of the Beast Pirates is still above the Whitebeard Pirates and Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates, they are the second strongest Pirate force after the Ghost Hand Pirates. And their Captain is the Hundred Beast Kaido, who is known as undead and unkillable monster. Marines have caught the Kaido many times before and they have tried everything to kill him, but they could only watch as Kaido escaped from them again and again without them being able to do anything. But. In just a few days, they have received the news that the Beast Pirates were completely destroyed by the Ghost Hand Pirates! So terrible, the Ghost Hand Pirates Kizaru was sitting on the sofa in the office. He was at a loss at the moment, and he slowly spoke after a long time. Although his tone was still filled with ridicule, the expressions on his face were more serious than ever and he was also greatly shocked. They are still discussing about Fire Fist Ace who was captured by Blackbeard Teach and sent to them. What should they do, should they fight against Whitebeard? But between their discussion, they got the news that the Ghost Hand Pirates had destroyed the Beast Pirates. The atmosphere was low throughout the conference room. Even Sengoku was slowly sitting back in his chair, wondering what to say for a while. The rise of Ross was so rapid and so unexpected that in just a few years, he has grown to become one of the Yonk (Four Emperors), and he had led the Ghost Hand Pirates to become a behemoth that runs across the sea unimpeded. They have also destroyed another Yonk (Four Emperors). One of the reasons why they were really shocked was that they did not get any news about this matter which means that the Ghost Hand Pirates did not dispatch their whole army at all! Even in that situation, the Beast Pirates were still destroyed! The current Ghost Hand Pirates have truly become a lingering cloud, pressing on everyones heads. It was okay before today. After today, Ross would take over Kaidos territory and then annexed a portion of Kaidos power. Even if the Marine Headquarters went out to fight against the Ghost Hand Pirates, they may not have much chance of winning. Even in the era of Pirate King Roger, no pirate forces have never grown to this point! Even Roger, the Pirate King did not bring them such intense oppression as they are getting from Ross! This is a new era. It is indeed a new era. This is an era that belongs to Ross. Everyone else must walk by the edge, not Shichibukai, neither Yonk (Four Emperors) can go against him! Until now, they could still say that the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates were still tied with the Ghost Hand Pirates, but how could they say that now? Or to put it another way. Can anyone stop Ghost Hand Ross from becoming the Pirate King? No. No one can stop him. Even though Ross has not gone to Raftel, with his current power and current strength, he can already be regarded as the Uncrowned King, The Pirate King overlooking the sea! The meeting room was quiet and no one spoke for a long time. At the same time, inside the World Government, the same severe tremors as Marine Headquarters are also happening. From high-level officials to the Commander-In-Chief Steel Bone Kong, to Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), almost all of them were shocked. How is this possible! Such a big movement and we didnt even know about it until the end, are all people in the intelligence department sleeping?! A Gorsei (Five Elder Stars)s angry roar came from the room. They panicked. They panicked for the first time in their life. CHAPTER 413 UNSTOPPABLE SITUATION Even when Ross came to the Holy Land and took many precious Devil Fruits and escaped, they didnt panic then. They still sat at the heart of that power. But now, they can feel that their position is getting unstable. The ability to destroy the Beast Pirates silently in a very short period of time shows that the Ghost Hand Pirates power has become terrifying to the point that even the Beast Pirates couldnt resist it, Ross and the Ghost Hand Pirates can completely surpass any Yonk (Four Emperors) now. The Beast Pirates are gone, but Kaido may still be alive. A Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) forced himself to calm down and speak slowly. The person beside him shook his head and said, Since he started a war against Kaido and defeated him and his men, he must have some countermeasures against Kaidos unkillable body. Dont forget that he defeated Whitebeard before and that was also thought to be impossible. The emotions of the five people here seemed a little low and unstable. By destroying the Beast Pirates, he took over Kaidos territory. His power has grown by a lot and even the Marine Headquarters may find it difficult to suppress them. Kaido was defeated so quickly and so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard. But how could that bastard Kaido lose so quickly and it would be meaningless to send troops to deal with them at this time, and there is still a problem over at the Marine. A Gorsei held his sword and gritted his teeth. The next person took a deep breath and said, Since its too late to stop them now, we can only find a way to minimize the problem. Let the Marine do it, they could publicly execute the prisoner and that would bring Whitebeard over and then we could defeat him. While Ghost Hand Ross takes over Kaidos territory, we would destroy Whitebeard first so that Marines can free up all of their energy to deal with the Ghost Hand alone. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) quickly made a decision. Then. Half a day later, the news spread across the ocean, triggering a category 12 hurricane and earthquake all over the world. Ten days later, news of the public execution of the Second Division Captain Fire Fist Ace of the Whitebeard Pirates spread out, the execution will take place at the Marine Headquarters! The news came out and created an uproar in the world! On the surface, it looks like a sentence of execution, but anyone with a bit more brains knows that this sentence of execution is almost a declaration of war against Whitebeard! Marines are finally targeting a Yonk (Four Emperors)! Someone was holding the newspaper in his hand and spoke with a trembling voice. Yonk (Four Emperors) has been at sea since the Great Age of Pirates, and despite the rise of the Ghost Hand Pirates and the fall of BIGMOM, Marines has never made any bold moves against any Yonk (Four Emperors). No, it should be said that. Marines were faced with failure in all the battles they fought against Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates. Otherwise, they would not have left the situation where four Yonk were ruling the New World. But this time, the public announcement of the execution of the Whitebeard Pirates Second Division Captain has already shown Marine s firm attitude, that is, War! They are telling Whitebeard that if he dares, come and fight us! Looks like the Worlds situation is going to change again. Someone put down the newspaper and looked up at the sky, only to feel that the sky seemed to be covered by clouds. If the announcement of public executions caused a world uproar, then another news that followed immediately caused the whole world to fall silent in shock! In the newspaper, a single piece of news occupies the entire page with only one line of big characters in it and each word is shocking. The Beast Pirates were destroyed. There were only a few very short words occupying the entire front page. The newspaper was sent by seagulls all over the world. Many people who picked up the newspaper stared at the news first, then they suspected that today should be April fools day, then they opened the second page. Then there was silence. Water Seven, Sabaody Archipelago, Dressrosa. Every island covered by the newspaper and at that moment, they all fell into an eerie silence, the sound gradually disappearing. One moment, they were trembling for the turbulence that would be caused by the final battle between Marines and Whitebeard. The next moment, they were stunned by the next news. Sea calendar on July 17, 1520. The Ghost Hand Pirates went to the Kingdom of Peace and defeated the Beast Pirates. One of the Yonk (Four Emperors) who has been ruling the New World for 20 years, the Beast Pirates were destroyed and they withdrew from the stage of the sea and became history. The destruction of the Beast Pirates also announced the unstoppable rise of the Ghost Hand Pirates and the prelude to subvert the entire world was also completely opened on this day! Somewhere in the sea. The Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates were drinking, but everyone stopped at this moment. Shanks looked at the newspaper in his hand and remained speechless for a long time, and Beckman next to him had an unprecedentedly solemn look on his face. After a long time, Shanks finally sighed and threw the newspaper to the ground. There is no way to stop this. The rise of Ghost Hand Pirates cant be stopped, and no one can stop Ghost Hand Ross. Coupled with Marines declaration of war against Whitebeard, the world has entered the age of chaos that is even more chaotic than the Great Age of Pirates. This is the general trend, Unstoppable. Even if he is one of the Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates, in front of such a situation, he is already powerless to stop it and he can only watch as the massive wave swept everything in its path. There are not many options left for us. Beckman said slowly and quietly, We can either fight against this era or we can just exit and leave the stage. This battle has not yet begun but Beckman is very clear that the Whitebeard Pirate will lose as it would be impossible for them to defeat the well-prepared Marines, not to mention that Whitebeard is old. After the defeat of the Whitebeard Pirates, there will be a confrontation between two major forces in the world. One is the World Government, and the other is the Ghost Hand Pirates! No. Or now, they should now be called Totto Land. The Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates, although they are also one of the Yonk (Four Emperors) forces who are at the top of the sea, they are now sandwiched between the World Government and the Ghost Hand Pirates, and there is no room for survival. This is ridiculous. Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates were separatists in the New World, the new pirates entering the New World will inevitably go against Yonk (Four Emperors) and they will either choose to join them or would be destroyed. Only those Shichibukai can survive in the New World from Yonk (Four Emperors) and these Shichibukai only survive in the cracks. And now. Their Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates have now faced with a situation where they were also squeezed into the gap. What should we do now, Shanks. Beckman took a deep breath and turned to look at Shanks. Shanks came to the deck and looked far into the sea, he breathed in the sea breeze and looked at the sunset in the sky and didnt speak for a long time. Chapter 414 Kaido’s Death The Country of Peace, Central City. After the destruction of the Beast Pirates, the Ghost Hand Pirates completely occupied the Beast Pirates territory, but the entire takeover process inevitably had some collisions in various aspects. Fortunately, the Eighth Division of Totto Land is a clone army of Germa 66, which can provide enough troops with sufficient resources. As for the Ninth Division Amazon Lily Island, almost all their people are soldiers and they can also deploy one or two teams. Three days have passed since the Beast Pirates were destroyed. In the past three days, the Eighth Division Scientific Army and the Ninth Divisions female soldiers have each dispatched a unit to participate in the takeover mission of the Beast Pirates territory and they have arrived. With Shiliew, Fujitora, and others overseeing this entire process, this part of the matter basically does not require Rosss attention. Each of his Division Captains are able to take care of this situation by themselves and they can crush all the opposing forces in their takeover process. And at the moment. In the central palace of the Kingdom of Peace. This is the deepest temple. As soon as the Beast Pirates were overthrown, Ross took this place for himself and listed it as a forbidden area, where no one can go unless they are permitted. At this moment in this hall, there are thick chains, all of which are Seastone chains. These Seastone chains firmly bind Jack who is still alive and other survivors of the Beast Pirates. But. Even in the chains made out of Seastone, the imposing manner of these men still filled the hall with a sense of oppression, this is like the scene from the Eternal Hell in the Impel Down Prison! In addition to the surviving Disaster and Smoothie and others, at the center of this place, there is a thick mountain-like figure, he is exactly the Hundred Beast Kaido! So, how about it? The Cursed Blade Murasame in Ross hands is resting on Kaidos shoulder. The power of distortion presses upon Kaidos body, leaving Kaido in an immobile state. It is not difficult for Ross to kill Kaido, but Kaido has such strong Battle power that he does not want to waste it. He wants to wipe out Kaidos soul and make him into his strongest puppet. Not yet. Trafalgar Law was standing in front of Kaido. He released the power of Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit, trying to pull Kaidos soul out of his body, but he was under pressure. At this moment, his forehead was overflowing with cold sweat as the power of Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit had been fully used, but it was still difficult for him to strip Kaidos soul out. Then continue. Rosss face remained the same as a weird power emerged from the blade of his hand, and pierced Kaidos body fiercely, which was Soul-Soul Fruits ability. Kaidos body is too powerful, and his soul is almost completely combined with his body. It is obviously impossible to extract his soul by relying only on the ability of Trafalgar Law, otherwise, Kaido would already be dead. But. Ross, who owns Soul-Soul Fruit can use the power of the soul to continually weaken Kaidos soul in the case of absolute repression. More than two days have passed since he defeated Kaido and had imprisoned him here and he is constantly attacking his soul to weaken it. During this period, Ross and Trafalgar Law both did not eat or drink and they have been here all this time. Even Ross had to admire Kaidos physique. Although he also has a near-immortal body, which is not much different from Kaido, if he only talks about the flesh, his body is incomparable to Kaidos. But. While suppressing Kaido and constantly attacking Kaidos soul, Ross is also constantly studying the secrets of Kaidos physical strength and he has made many discoveries. In this world, the way to get stronger is to tap into the potential of the human body, and for someone like Kaido, the potential of his body is almost certainly fully activated and his cells are in an improved state. It can be said that the flesh and blood in Kaidos body did not lose his vitality due to his potential being fully tapped, but it far exceeded ordinary people. Improved cell activity? Ross had a rough idea of ??Kaidos physical strength, but finding a way to make his body match Kaidos activity was a slow process, not a quick one. What on earth are you doing? Jack who was chained by Seastone watches Ross and Trafalgar Law doing something to Kaido. However, neither Ross nor Trafalgar Law answered him. Buzz !! Under the spiritual impact of Ross Soul-Soul Fruit and the physical destruction of Distortion Fruit, Kaido didnt even have a chance to wake up under the double pressure and could only passively bear Ross damage to his body. One hour two hours three hours In a blink of an eye, another half day passed. Even with Rosss current strength, he felt a little tired at this moment. After all, he defeated Kaido and then captured Kaido and put him here and has been working for about three days and nights. Nearly. Trafalgar Law is also constantly using his Personality Transplant Surgery ability, trying to extract Kaidos soul from his body. Compared to Ross, his strength consumption is much smaller, but because his strength is far less than Ross, these three days and nights work has built up some deep fatigue. But at the moment. There was no sign of weariness on his face, but a gradual glow of excitement as he sensed that Kaidos mind was no longer unshakable, but was gradually loosening. Its like a screw that has been welded to death. There is rust at the welding place, and a fracture gradually appears. Under strong screwing, it can be rotated little by little. Its good! Ross took a deep breath and held the hilt of the Cursed Blade Murasame, inspiring the power of Soul-Soul Fruit to the limit, as if the waves were constantly impacting Kaidos soul. Kaidos soul has been slumped and shrunk under the constant impact in these three days and three nights, and gradually no longer closely connected with his body. Finally. ith the joint effort of Ross and Trafalgar Law, Trafalgar Laws eyes finally flashed and he drew his right hand. A heart-shaped thing was taken out of Kaidos body, which is exactly Kaidos mind, which can also be called the product of soul contraction! Here. Ross saw Kaidos consciousness being pulled out and with a decisive wave of his sleeve, a black thing rolled out of his sleeve, which is exactly the soul incarnation he made in advance. Under Trafalgar Laws ability, the soul incarnation was compressed into a heart-shaped object and flew into Hundred Beast Kaidos body and eventually disappeared. And at the same time. Ross lifted the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand and stabbed it at Kaidos soul. The sword penetrated Kaidos soul and the power of Soul-Soul Fruit burst out, covering it instantly. Life strip! Kaidos Soul is strong, but it cannot stand up to the power of Soul-Soul Fruit, which ultimately stripped Kaidos soul of its vitality. Just as Kaidos soul was completely destroyed, a familiar voice that had not been heard in a long time began to ring in Rosss ears. Yonk (Four Emperors), Hundred Beast Kaido, has been hunted, received a reward of 80 Talent Proficiency Points and 1 Free Talent Points. Sure enough, if he kills Kaido in this way, he can still get some rewards. Ross murmured and called the Talent System. He did not hesitate and put all 80 Proficiency Points into the Distortion Fruit. Buzz!! With the flash of light, the data of Distortion Fruit increased to 900 points, which is only 100 points away from the final 1000 point Maximum Value mark! Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 900 Marine s Rokushikis Soru: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) by Marine s Rokushiki: 0 Gepp (Moonwalk) of Marine s Rokushiki: 0 Observation Haki: 200 (Maximum Value) Armament Haki: 200 (Maximum Value) Haoshoku Haki: 0 In addition, Rosss accumulated Free Talent Points has reached 6 Points. He doesnt know how many talent points it will take to activate the Time Distortion ability, but according to the previous incremental judgment, it should take about 7 points. Time Distortion. From the material to the unreal time, it also represents the power of distortion which will reach another level and he wouldnt be just close to being invincible, but he really will be invincible! Chapter 415 Beast Incarnation The improvement brought by the 80 Proficiency Points in the power of distortion has also made Ross feel very clear about his strength. It is obvious that his strength has increased. If he was able to beat Yonk (Four Emperors) like Hundred Beast Kaido steadily before he couldnt deal with two Yonkos at the same time, now, even if he had to deal with Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku at the same time, he would be able to fight them both at the same time without losing any ground! His current power is not something that a strong man can contend against. There need to be at least two people with the strength similar to that of Garp and they must join forces to fight him! Trafalgar Law couldnt see the Talent System Interface but he couldnt help glancing at Ross with a flash of confusion in his eyes. He didnt know if he had seen the situation wrongly. Rosss breath, which should have been drooping from exhaustion, was suddenly stable again and it is also much stronger than before. It should be a Misconception. Trafalgar Law finally shook his head. Both of them turned to look at Hundred Beast Kaido, who was just sitting there, Hundred Beast Kaidos heavy body, sitting there just like that was motionless. But. The next moment, Hundred Beast Kaidos eyelashes flickered. Both Ross and Trafalgar Law captured this movement with a gleam of light flashing in their eyes, they stared at Hundred Beast Kaidos face. The eyelashes continued to tremble and the eyelids eventually became too high. Hundred Beast Kaido looked around blankly, then he noticed Ross and instinctively spoke to Ross and called him Boss. Kaidos incarnation spoke to Ross as Boss and Ross and Trafalgar Law both breathed out a sigh of relief. It seems that there was no unaccepted accident. Hundred Beast Kaido was successfully made into an Incarnation! But. Hundred Beast Kaidos state at this moment is obviously not as good that of Katakuri. His movements appear a bit stiff and unnatural and he stands still when he stands up, and almost falls down. And not far away, seeing Hundred Beast Kaido speaking to Ross and seeing his strange state, the wakeful Jack could not help but slightly widen his eyes. Kaido Sama What the hell have you done?! On the other side, Smoothie who was also watching this scene was stunned, she faintly felt something familiar and could not help but show a shocked expression on her face. Although she didnt know what Trafalgar Law did, as one of the former Sweet Commanders of BIGMOM Pirates, she knew that Ross used the ability of Soul-Soul Fruit. What he got out before was a soul incarnation! Did Ross inject the soul incarnation into Kaido? But how is this possible! Smoothies eyes are filled with disbelief. She knows that the souls extracted from soul-soul Fruit cannot be injected into living things, let alone into other humans. But she couldnt explain what she saw just now! Going by Kaidos appearance, it is obvious that he is made into a Homies! However. Ross didnt bother to reply but instead looked at Hundred Beast Kaido, or should he say his Beast Incarnation. Cant you control this body? He showed a doubtful look. If Kaidos body was replaced by his to control it then it would be easy to do so, but the Soul Incarnation is only an incarnation and it only possessing part of his will, and it seems that it is a bit difficult for it to control Kaidos body. No, I am just a little unfamiliar with it. Hundred Beast Kaido spoke to Ross. The sound was still the heavy tone of Hundred Beast Kaido, but the tone was similar to Ross. He raised his arm and shook his fist, then lowered his arm and walked around the place. At first, his pace was stiff, but as time went on, he began to get smoother and smoother. Thats fine. Ross looked at the scene and finally nodded slightly. As long as his incarnation can control Kaidos body flexibly, the Incarnation of Hundred Beast Kaido will become the strongest of his subordinates, he will be even stronger than the Hurricane Incarnation. The undead can rampage on the battlefield to their heart content. Congratulations, Lord Ross. Trafalgar Law stood aside and took a deep breath before speaking to Ross. He is the one who knows all the puppets and incarnations of Ross. He also knows how powerful these puppets and incarnations controlled by Ross are! His reincarnations were originally strong enough to match the Three Admiral, now coupled with Hundred Beast Kaido, it can be said that Ross alone can already go to war against the Marine Headquarters! A single person is more powerful than a Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirate regiment! Hmm, try to adapt to the strength of this body. Ross spoke to the Beast Incarnation. Hundred Beast Kaidos body had no special ability but the only ability it does have is an undead body that is already overpowered. And this characteristic also makes his soul incarnation not being able to control his body perfectly. Yes. The Beast incarnation responded to Ross. At this time, Ross finally felt a little tired. Although his power of distortion has been greatly improved, he defeated Kaido and then suppressed Kaido for three days and nights. He constantly tortured Kaidos soul with the ability of Soul-Soul Fruit. He was spiritually tired. Dont let people know about the existence of the Beast Incarnation. Ross opened his mouth slowly at Trafalgar Law and glanced at Jack and Smoothie at the same time. Keep watch over both of them. He wont mention Smoothie but Jack is barely qualified to make his puppet, but he has already cut out the incarnation that controls Kaidos soul, and cant cut another one in a short time. His soul incarnation will need about half a month to adapt to Kaidos body. I know. Trafalgar Law responded to Ross. He naturally knew that the Beast Incarnation could not be exposed, which also includes Golden Lion incarnation who also can not be exposed. These are hidden combat powers that will be used against the Marines and the World Government. When they finally did show them to the world, whether its Marine or World Government, they would be shocked! Walking out of the palace, Ross came to sleep in a room that had been arranged by Robin in advance. He fell asleep for nearly ten hours. After waking up, the tiredness of exerting strength for several days and nights finally subsided and Rosss spirit was restored again. Ross stepped out of the room and glanced at Robin who was reading in the outside hall, he rubbed his eyes and said, How long before Fire Fist Aces sentence? Ten days. Robin replied while reading a book. Ross nodded slightly and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He walked to Robins side and took a sip of her juice on the table. The Ghost Hand Pirates still need to receive the territory of the Beast Pirates and acclimate it into their territory and managed it. It will also take some time for the soul incarnation to adapt to Kaidos body. As for Jack, he can be made into a puppet in ten days. The War of the Best is not the right time for his decisive battle against Marines and the World Government. But. There is no problem in going to the Marine Headquarters to giving Marines and the Government a big surprise. How can he be absent from things like war? CHAPTER 416 CHAOTIC SABAODY Just as Ross put down the juice glass and the sound of Den Den Mushi suddenly rang out. Robin reached into her pocket and takes out a Den Den Mushi. Hello? When Robin answered the Den Den Mushi, her expressions didnt change much. After a couple of minutes, she hung up the Den Den Mushi and turned to Ross and said: A Mermaid was caught by a slaver in Sabaody Island and is now being auctioned at the Sabaody Archipelago island auction. The Fishman Island is now a territory of Ghost Hand Pirates and because of Shirahoshis special identity as one of the three Ancient Weapons. Therefore, Ross has always been more concerned about the people of Fishman Island. Although Jinbe can handle most of the things but if there comes a situation where Jimbe cant intervene or couldnt help then they would send out a Division Captain. Mermaid? Ross heard Robins words but he did not show any unexpected expression, he put his finger on his chin and thought, if the timeline is correct, the captured Mermaid must be Keimi. Should we send someone there? Robin asked at Ross. Although a Mermaid being captured is nothing but the Slave dealer dares to attack a Mermaid, which means that they had attacked the Ghost Hand Pirates. Ross rubbed his neck and said, No, Ill go there myself. The War between Whitebeard Pirates and the Marine Headquarters should begin soon, Ill stop on Sabaody Island along the way. Robin came to his side and sat down while sipping her juice, Who are you going to take with you? The situation on Totto Land hasnt settled down yet. No one knows whether the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates will take any actions. Marines are now fully prepared to confront Whitebeard, and they would pay special attention to the other Yonko Pirates and the World Government must be staring at Totto Land secretly. No One. Ross said casually: Marine Headquarters is not Holy Land Mariejois, it is enough to bring the Hurricane Incarnation and the Naraka(Hell) Incarnation. With his current strength, and with the strength of Hurricane Incarnation and Enels Naraka Incarnation, it can be said that the three peoples Battle power is enough to reach the level of a Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirate! Mariejois and Marine Headquarters are not that far away. Robin calmly said: If you intervene in Whitebeards Battle, its impossible to guarantee that World Government will not take action, but this is indeed a good time to weaken Marine and the government so are we ready to take the fight to them. Almost. Ross put on his cloak and said, I will hand the Totto Land to you in my absence. Let Issho take care of external threats, Im leaving. After the words fell, Ross walked out of the palace and disappeared. Seeing Rosss back disappeared completely, Robin could not help but shake her head lightly. She was not the strongest in terms of strength, but she was the first person who followed Ross. Recalling the days when she struggled in West Blue, and now, she wouldnt even bat an eye while standing in Marine Headquarters. Thoughts fluttered like dreams. Sabaody Archipelago Islands. A figure on a stone platform glided smoothly across the sky, then fell in a straight line, and fell to the Sabaody Archipelago Island. At the moment of landing, the stone platform moved rapidly and became like Enel, but then it broke down again and melted into the earth and disappeared. I see. Ross is holding a Den Den Mushi in his hand and Robin is on the other side of the Den Den Mushi. He had just arrived in Sabaody Archipelago, and Ross was not surprised to hear from Robin that the Straw Hat Pirates had fought off a Tenryubito and had saved the Mermaid Keimi. Its quite similar to the original plot. Ross hung up the Den Den Mushi and thought internally. The Naraka(Hell) Incarnation has elementized into the form of dirt and integrated into the Underground. As for the Hurricane incarnation, at this moment it has turned into a small vortex Dragon tornado, which entangles a strand of Ross hair, letting that strand of hair keep spinning and flying. What is this plot? The Hurricane Incarnation asked dumbly. Ross didnt answer the question, but looked at the island in front of him and walked forward. If there is no change in the plot then the Straw Hat gang will meet Kizaru here, and then they would be rescued by Bartholomew Kuma who will send them to different islands. But. Ross didnt want Luffy to reach the Amazon Lily Island. In addition, the Straw Hat group had saved the Mermaid Keimi, so it was okay to save them this time. As he walked forward, Ross unleashed his Observation Haki and spread it towards the entire island, but the Sabaody Archipelago Islands is not a single island, but a group of islands. In addition, there is chaos everywhere in Sabaody Archipelago at this moment. With his Kenbonshoku (Observation), it is difficult to find people accurately in such a large range. Coincidentally. Before Ross could go far, there was a loud noise in front of him, which led Ross to look that way with his Kenbonshoku (Observation). Bang! A bright golden laser exploded on the ground. Eustass Kid, one of the current generation Supernova managed to avoid the attack but the attack still grazed him, leaving a scald on his abdomen. Shit He covered his wound in the abdomen and looked forward with a cold face. A huge figure was standing right in front of him and there was a little smoke coming from the edge of the mouth. Apparently, the laser was released by this person. This figure is made in the form of Shichibukai Bartholomew Kuma, it is a special war weapon, a Pacifista! Bounty 315 Million Berries, Pirate Captain, Eustass Kid. The Pacifista stared at Eustace, speaking mechanically. Kid stared at the Pacifista in front of him with anger on his face and said, Seven Warlords of the Sea? Why is a Shichibukai here? The Pacifista unit has not been made public yet and Kid who is no stranger to Shichibukais appearance naturally regarded this figure as Kuma himself. The Pacifista did not answer. Its setting procedure is to capture pirates and log all intelligence information of the bounty pirate. At this moment, it directly locked Kid. Whiz! The fat body, at a speed and sensitivity that was seriously inconsistent with the appearance, rushed towards Eustass Kid, the bright light gathered in his palm and a laser beam directly came out of it. Kids pupils shrunk and he quickly rolled over to one side, avoiding the attack. He had suffered a little loss just now, and naturally, he didnt dare to take any attack head-on. But. Pacifistas attitude and attack also made him completely angry. It seems that you are not going to give way, Bartholomew Kuma As one of the Supernova who had conquered the first half of the Grand Line, Kid naturally has his arrogance. Although his journey was not as dangerous as Luffys where he met not one but two of the Shichibukai and defeated them but it is impossible for him to be afraid of a Shichibukai. CHAPTER 417 PACIFISTA Ahhhhh! Kid groaned and attracted countless swords and guns towards him by some kind of force, converging into two huge arms, hammering hard at the Pacifista. He used his Magnetic Fruit Power, he possess the power to use magnetic force to attract and control all metal. Bang! The blow sent the Pacifista flying upside down. Kid sneered and was ready to walk forward. Wait, Kid. Before Kid could turn and walk away, a voice came from behind him. The owner of the voice is also one of the Supernova, Apoo. He looked at the direction where the Pacifista was blown away too great interest and said: Its not over yet. Just as Apoos words fell, the dust dispersed and the Pacifista stood there unscathed, his eyes twinkling like lights. His eyes fell on Apoo. Bounty 260 Million Berries, Pirate Captain, Apoo. Kids face looked a little gloomy as he couldnt beat the Pacifista down, and the other partys attention was still on Apoo next to him, which made him feel a little bit uneasy. This guy is weird. He doesnt look a bit human. Apoo watched the Pacifista with interest and when he saw the Pacifistas eyes returning to Kid, he couldnt help but tilt his head and said, Is it prioritizing? Is he choosing his target according to Bounty? Si! Si! Si! Almost immediately after Apoos voice fell, the Pacifista opened his mouth and sprayed three laser beams in succession towards Kid. Kid waved his hands and countless scattered swords and guns gathered in front of him, blocking the laser attacks. Countless fragments splashed around in the explosion. But at the same time, more fragments came together in a rush and finally turned into a larger arm, hammering fiercely towards the Pacifista. No one can stand up after taking this attack! Bang! A loud sound echoed loudly in the field. They saw that the Pacifista was embedded in the ground by Kid, like a radish, and there was a wound on his head, and blood was flowing out of it. Humph! Kid grunted while dissipating his power and was about to leave. But Apoo tilted his head and spoke weirdly, Are you just going to leave like this? How could a Shichibukai be killed so easily by you? Arent you a bit too confident? Bang! Almost as soon as Apoos voice fell, the ground showed signs of cracking and the Pacifista came out of the pit, and a laser shot towards Kid. Although Kid avoided the laser, the aftermath still struck him, causing him to fly backward and hit his back against the wall. Oh, is it my turn? Apoo looked at the Pacifista after seeing Kid getting stuck, he turned his head to the Pacifistas direction and could not help grinning. It is impossible for him to remain neutral in this case. He is a pirate but the enemy in front of him is also quite tricky. But. Just as he stood up and prepared to respond. The Pacifista in front of him suddenly stopped moving and turned his head 90 degrees, and looked to the right, his eyes flickered like a flash. This scene made Apoo startled for a moment and Kid, who freed himself from the wall, also subconsciously looked at the direction where the Pacifista was looking at. Buzz !! The Pacifista didnt speak but shot a laser directly. The laser exploded in the distance as if something had been hit, and the dust spread everywhere. He changed his attack target again? Apoo showed a strange expression. He guessed that the person in front of him was some type of weapon or something, and would give priority to attacking people with higher bounty and higher threat, but now, he suddenly changed the target of his attack. In other words, there is someone more powerful than him or Kid. Could it be Dark King Rayleigh? Both Apoo and Kid were at the auction site and they had seen Luffy punching the tenryubito and also had a scuffle with Marine for this, and they had also seen Rayleighs appearance in the middle. And while Apu was guessing, the dust gradually dissipated and a figure emerged from that direction. Hey. Ross walked out of the dust and looked at the Pacifista, and said, I say, hasnt Vegapunk set up a program on you that stops you from attacking pirates with bounties of 1 Billion Berries? He had already sensed the fight between the Pacifista and Kid and Apoo, but he had no intention to get between them. But he didnt expect that as soon as he walked by, this Pacifista would attack him with a laser, which made Ross a little unhappy. Hey its true. That guy, he is Kid and Apoos subordinates saw the figure appear and they all stared at the figure for a while, then their expressions changed dramatically and their foreheads were filled with cold sweat. Even Apoo and Kids expressions changed for a moment. In silence. The Pacifista turned to stare at Ross and said mechanically: Bounty of 3 Billion Berries, Pirate Captain, Ghost Hand Ross. Although the tone of the sentence is the same kind of soulless, mechanically-synthesized tone it used to pronounce Kid and Apoos bounty, it still caused a storm in the hearts of Apu, Kid, and others. Ghost Hand Ross! Its really him! How could he be here! The worlds strongest Kid had a cold sweat on his forehead, and even with his defiance, he couldnt help but slightly shiver as he looked at Ross. Even taking a deep breath, he couldnt calm himself down. The man who stands at the top of the sea! Si! Si! Before waiting for Kid and others to respond more, the Pacifista opened his two hands and the bright light gathered in his palms and turned into two lasers and came towards Ross. But under the gaze of Kid and Apoo, in the face of two lasers with great power, Ross just raised his hand in the void pressed it. Silence. The two laser beams were fixed in Void as if time were still. Rosss eyes were dull and his fingers folded as he grabbed at the Pacifista in the distance. Crackling! Everyone saw the void in front of Ross getting deformed and the Pacifistas body that had suffered two full-strength attacks from Kid and did not have much damage, was, like a piece of paper under this force as it got squeezed. The entire body quickly deformed, as if being grasped by an invisible large hand and then it was kneaded and completely turned into a mass of scrap iron! Watching this scene. Whether it was Apoo or Kid, they were shocked, their breath was almost stagnant and their backs were soaked with cold sweat! CHAPTER 418 BREAKING How is this possible Shichibukai At this moment, both Kid and Apoos men were covered with cold sweats and fear awe-filled their eyes. Even the Captains Kid and Apoo were shocked. Spike! Shichibukai Tyrant Kuma was killed in one shot! This is the strength of the strongest man in the world! After Ross broke the Pacifista with one hand and slowly retracted his palm, he turned his head to look at Kid and Apoo not far away and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes. He held no grudges against the two men but the two of them were unruly and slaughtered civilians. They had too much blood in their hands and he didnt like them very much. Is this the new generation of Supernova? The quality is so poor. Ross lifted his head slightly and opened his mouth. As early as Ross looked over, Apoo and Kids heart made a strange noise. At this time, when they heard Ross words, they had a chilling feeling. The next moment Ross stood there speaking the second half of his sentence. Quality is so poor, dont go and become a shame the New World. Buzz !! Ross lifted his foot and stepped on it gently and a loud noise broke across the ground. Kid and Apoo, together with their subordinates, were shaking, their feet were unstable for a moment and they all showed great horror. Not good! Go! The two didnt even think about it and directly gave up their intention to fight with Ross, they turned around decisively and stabilized their bodies before ordering their subordinates to run away. But Ross did not pay any attention to the fleeing pair and with his five fingers close and a flock of power of distortion condensed on his fists, he waved his hand in the direction of Kid and Apoo. Buzz !! The surging power of distortion burst out. This is Rosss unprecedented power after killing Hundred Beast Kaido and the power of distortion after it reached 900 points. Even Ross himself doesnt know how powerful his full-strength punch is today so he just casually waved his hand, it is just like an ordinary person throwing a punch at random in the air. Bang! As if to destroy. Kid and Apoo both sense the driving force behind them and fought back with all their might. But they cant hold it for half a second and their abilities crumbled like a rotten piece of wood. The huge fist print formed by Air Distortion continued to fly towards the rear and eventually hit the Mangrove. Boom! In the middle of the huge mangrove, there was a terrible Distortion and it collapsed and cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally. The whole giant mangrove had a terrible Distortion in the middle, which caused it to collapse and shatter at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. In the end. In the middle of the giant mangrove, half of it was shattered by RossDistortions blow, leaving a clear fist-shaped hole! I seem to have pushed it too hard Watching the shattered Mangrove, Ross retracted his fist and scratched his hair. Kch! Kch! The shattered half of the Mangrove remained supporting the remaining area and the upper part of its body gradually began to crack apart. In the end, the entire Mangrove collapsed to the side in front of countless peoples shock and horror gaze. Ah, no! The Mangrove again Lord Kizaru is too messy! Some of the Marine on the distant island saw this scene and they could not help but feel their scalp tingle and their hands began to sweat. Because a tenryubito had been beaten, a Marine Admiral had to go out so Kizaru himself came and broke a Mangrove with a kick. When the marines saw another broken Mangrove, they thought it was Kizaru again. Even if Mr. Kizaru were an Admiral, breaking two pieces of Yarukiman Mangrove would be condemned by the World Government. Kizarus subordinates are Rear Admiral and some officers and at this moment, they all wore a helpless expression. At the same time. On the other side, the Straw Hats also encountered a Pacifista. They fought together, but they were still pushed back by the Pacifista, their battle was extremely fierce and difficult and dazzling laser attacks were continuously emitted, causing explosions everywhere. The Pacifista can be regarded as something like the discriminator of the strong. It is almost difficult for any Supernova that has not yet entered the New World to fight against them. Even if the pirates were to win, they would have to use all of their forces. But. For those of the New World with bounties higher than 340 Million and the strong ones who can use Haki, the Pacifista is very average in front of them and they can be easily dealt with. Diable Jambe Dragon kick! Santoryu Ogi Nine Demon Flash! Gear Third! Giant Round Ball! The three main battle forces of the Straw Hat Pirates, Sanji Zoro and Luffy, all attacked in unison. Bang! Under the three strongest attacks, the bruised Pacifista finally cracked from inside and its body stopped moving. After this attack, Luffy became a small version of Luffy, he was panting with his tongue out and Zoro and Sanji were also breathing hard, they were close to their limits. Its not moving! Amazing, you guys. Usopp gasped in relief. Sanji lit a cigarette and gasped, Hoo, we have to find a place to take a good rest before we can fight. If a Marine Admiral showed up here, we wont be able to face him. I agree. Nami also agreed at this moment. Luffy gradually recovered, he also knew that he and his companions were powerless to fight again and spoke while his tongue was still out, Hoo hoo makes sense but you guys have to wait for me for a while. And just as Luffys breathing calmed down, heavy footsteps suddenly came from a distance. Their breathing abruptly stagnant, their bodies stiffened and they turned their heads, and they saw another Pacifista coming out of the ruins. Oye is this a joke? Another one?! When Sanji and others saw this scene, their faces changed dramatically, and Usopp and others showed their horror and fear. No way. Nami was holding the weather stick. At this moment, her pupils contracted violently, and she said, How many of these guys are there! Huh! The Pacifista locked Luffy and others and opened his hand and the bright light gathered and a laser shot out. Damn it! Retreat, Luffy. Sanji avoided the blow and said to Luffy in the distance: No matter what this guy is, we are already powerless to fight again, and we will be dead if we fight again. Everyone cant stay together, run away! Luffy knew the importance of this matter and reluctantly avoided a laser while speaking to his crew. CHAPTER 419 CAN YOU HELP OU Bounty 300 million Berries, Pirate Captain, Strawhat Luffy. The Pacifista locked Luffy and his eyes flickered a few times like a light bulb and as he rushed towards Luffy, his palms continued to emit lasers. Luffy evaded and fled with the crowd. Smoke bomb! Usopp gritted his teeth and picked up his slingshot and a smoke bomb hit the foot of the Pacifista, creating smoke everywhere. Good job Usopp! Sanji and others immediately ran away. But the smoke didnt have much effect on the Pacifista. It directly jumped out of the smoke range and continued to pursue Luffy and a laser shot down again. Even if Luffy avoided the frontal attack, he was still enveloped by the aftermath and flew out. Luffy! Zoro saw this scene from afar and could not help but grit his teeth, he wanted to help but he doesnt have any more fighting power. But. Before he could make a choice, a voice came from in front of him. You still care about others, Roronoa Zoro. Zoros pupils narrowed sharply and before he could respond, he was kicked out. Bang! The ground exploded and Zoro coughed up blood and was bruised all over his body. Zoro!!! Seeing this from a distance, Luffy and others couldnt help but look at the figure who attacked Zoro, and they also showed gritted their teeth. Kizarus figure was revealed in the smoke. He wont be getting up. Kizaru stood there and he put his hands in his pants pockets and glanced at Zoro, who was down on the ground and said, Pirate Hunter Zoro, Bounty of 120 Million Berries Why is a Pirate Hunter becoming a Pirate again, It really brings up a lot of bad memories. Kizarus eyes narrowed and a hint of cold light appeared in his eyes and he slowly said, Just one attack and you fell down. Have a good rest in your afterlife then. When his voice fell. He directly lifted his foot and the bright light gathered. Kizaru feels disgusted seeing any pirate becoming a pirate hunter and God knows if they will also become an existence that cant be cleaned up. If he can get rid of them, it is naturally best to get rid of them as soon as possible. Zoro! When Usopp and Brook saw this scene beside them, they couldnt help screaming in horror, and they saw that Zoro had no ability to evade, and could not help but be shocked. Sanjis face in the distance also changed and he bit his teeth and said, Not good, that idiots body is at its limit Sii! Usopp shot a projectile at Kizaru but that projectile directly penetrated Kizarus body without harming him. At the same time, Brooke rushed forward and stabbed Kizaru with his sword. The sword also penetrated Kizarus body but failed to penetrate any real substance. We cant even stab him at all, what the hell is going on here! Both of them panicked when they saw that their attacks were useless. Kizarus eyes narrowed and he said slowly and indifferently: Its no use, I am a flash man who ate the Glint-Glint Fruit, it is Logia Ill take you out first. Kizaru squinted, he raised his foot and slammed down. But just in time, a flash of light suddenly broke through the air and swept across the battlefield in an instant, and cut into Kizarus body. Kizarus complexion changed slightly as he could not kill Zoro now. He immediately scrambled and turned his hand into a sword with a radiant golden light, blocking the incoming sword light. Tang! Kizaru blocked the attack, but Zoro was saved. So you are also here Dark King Rayleigh Kizaru narrowed his eyes and looked at Rayleigh, who came towards him with a sword in his hand. Now that the Marine Headquarters has to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates. They dont plan to deal with Rayleigh. It is impossible for Marine to deal with two legends at the same time. If they catch Rayleigh, it will cause a war against Red Hair Shanks and Ghost Hand Ross may also join up against them. If that happened, the Marine Headquarters will be gone. Three Emperors battling Marines? Im afraid Marine really would become history! I heard many times that you are on this island. It turned out to be true Kizaru watched Rayleigh and spoke slowly. Rayleigh stepped in front of Kizaru and said, If you get rid of the wanted notice, Ill be able to live here for the rest of my life. Kizarus eyes narrowed as he said, How can the crimes of pirate be forgiven much less the crimes of the Vice-Captain of the Roger Pirates Oh. When Rayleigh heard Kizarus words, Rayleigh gave a thoughtful look and said, If you dont mention it, I would have forgotten about it. It looks like someone just didnt want to get rid of the wanted posters, and it just kept turning into this situation. Kizaru: It seems that you have not changed your habit as a pirate, but even we have to be fully prepared to deal with you. Kizaru didnt want to talk about this subject and looked directly at Rayleigh. Rayleigh held the sword and said, Well can you give me some face and let them go, Kizaru. You have to forgive me. Kizaru raised his head slightly and said: This Pirate group attacked a tenryubito. If we dont catch them, the Marine Headquarters will not be able to raise their heads in front of tenryubito in Holy Land Mariejoi. The scene was at a standstill for a while. But just a few seconds later, two more Pacifistas appeared and they came over from the other side. The three Pacifistas sandwiched Luffy in the middle. This scene made Rayleighs eyes flicker, and his heart gradually sank. Although the Pacifista was nothing for him, but in this situation where he already has his hands full with Kizaru, it was impossible for him to support Luffy and others. Kizaru is well aware of this and is in no hurry to confront Rayleigh. At this time, Luffy and others who was surrounded by three Pacifistas in the center were all sweating. One of them was already so difficult. How can they fight three of them? But. Just as the situation was almost rigid and frozen, a voice came suddenly. These guys saved a Mermaid. If I didnt save them, I would lose all authority and respect over the merfolk on Fishman Island. The voice sounded a little ridiculous, without the slightest sense of fear in it, but when it came, the faces of Kizaru and Rayleigh changed. Kizaru was shocked and Rayleigh was also shocked, but compared to Kizaru, Rayleigh was shocked but he was also happy in his heart. He didnt expect him to come here. Since he is here, it should be all right now. Rayleigh knows that Fishman Island is Rosss territory and he also knows that Luffy and others saved the Mermaid Keimi, and the reason that Luffy hit the tenryubito was also caused by Mermaid Keimis arrest. CHAPTER 420 RUN Ah! Its that uncle! Luffy watched Ross appear from a distance and suddenly made a sound. Ross was lost in thought as he heard this. Unconsciously, did he already becomes an uncle-level character? Seeing Ross appearing, except for Luffys grinning face, Zoro and Sanji and others almost went rigid, showing a bit unnatural looks on their faces. But. This situation is a lot better then them facing Kizaru. Kizaru was just standing there, he had originally come here with a relaxed and happy mood to deal with a few misbehaving childrens, but then Rayleigh came out to rescue the Straw Hats and now Ross had actually appeared! Is his luck really so bad that he always encounters Ross in such situations? Its only a few days since Ross killed the Beast Pirates and now he ended up on the Sabaody Archipelago Islands, is he interested in their next war against Whitebeard? A chill ran down Kizarus spine at the thought. The more he thought about it, the worse it looked. And just then. The three Pacifistas launched attacks on Luffy and others, it doesnt matter to them about who Ross is, they are all mechanical reformers. Their set procedure is to arrest or kill pirates. Bang! Bang! Bang! Three laser attacks were suddenly launched from three directions, and Luffy and the others rushed sideways, evading in all directions. Nami also screamed. Although she jumped up, she was still shocked by the aftermath and flew into the sky. The direction she flew back was towards Ross. And Sanji flew upside down with her. Snap! Ross watched Nami and Sanji flying upside down and stretched out his left hand to catch Nami. As for Sanji, he slammed onto the ground. Watching Ross catching Nami with one hand, Sanjis face was filled with black lines as he raised his head from the ground and his lips twitched. Thanks thanks The caught Nami glanced at Ross in shock. After being put down by Ross, she thanked Ross with a trembling tone. And just then, a Pacifista rushed over. Miss Nami, hurry up! Sanji saw the Pacifista rushing over and jumped up, he shouted at Nami to run while he planned to block it a little. But Nami didnt respond to his words and looked at the Pacifista which was rushing over, she opened her mouth and tilted her head towards Ross next to her, and said pitifully: Can you save us? Nami looks at Ross with big, pitiful eyes, coupled with the slightly embarrassed look due to the fight, it was quite protective. Sanji standing next to them almost vomited blood. Whether Ross is going to step in or not, asking Ross for help is the way to go, but why does his heart feel so cold? Ross glanced at Nami and didnt know how much of it was real or faked, but he didnt hate her because she was good enough. Can. Rosss response was one short word. This incident was originally caused by Luffy and others when they rescued a Mermaid of the Fishman Island, which was equivalent to Luffy doing his work for him. Buzz !! The Pacifista rushed over, without showing any worries about Rosss existence, it opened his mouth directly and a bright light gathered and struck towards Nami and Ross, he planned to take out both Nami and Ross together. Rosss Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki had already captured the laser attack. He looked up dullly and just flicked his fingers. Snapped! The golden laser was turned by Rosss finger and flew back along the trajectory, just as the moment when the Pacifista closed his mouth, the light poured into it. Bang Bang. There was a crackling sound of broken parts coming from Pacifistas mouth. Seeing the laser that stunned Zoro and Luffy and others flying back under Rosss finger, Nami couldnt help but feel her throat dry. Kizaru watched as his old face crumpled into a bitter expression. Even if Rayleigh didnt bother to stop him, he didnt dare to step forward and intervene. Do you really care about these kids? Ghost Hand Ross. Ross turned his head and glanced at Kizaru, saying, Mermaid Islands Mermaids are prohibited from being capture and trafficking as a slave. It is my rule. I did not expect some people to ignore my rules. Kizaru is now getting a headache. He also knew that this incident was caused by the trafficking of a Mermaid, but he did not expect that Ross would come in person for a Mermaid, which was a bit too exaggerated! In the past, Whitebeard sheltered Fishman Island. Although no one dared to invade the land, many Mermaids were occasionally captured and Whitebeard did not care about it all. But here with Ross, its all about taking care of everything thats in his territory. I say. Ross tilted his head and looked at Kizaru. Seeing that Kizaru was still standing still, he said, Are you a bit stupid? Im here and you havent left yet. Where on earth did you get the courage to stand alone in front of me? Did you forget the beating you received last time. Kizaru stared for a moment. Before he could react, Rosss fist had appeared in front of his face. Buzz !! A power of distortion erupted, hitting the entire area in front of him. Kizarus Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki had captured the power of this attack and he is terrified, and he did not hesitate any longer and fled away. But even so, he was still hit by the power of distortion and the attack flash exploded in the air and he fell to the ground like a meteor. After punching Kizaru, Ross didnt chase after him. Kizarus strength is not worthy of him now, but he is still fast enough, faster then him. If Akainu was here, he wouldnt have minded killing him but Kizaru can run back to the Marine Headquarters. Admiral? Watching the golden streamer disappear, Ross retracted his fist and a touch of mockery appeared in his tone. Recalling the events in which he was chased by Aokiji before and fled into despair by Kizaru, now he only needs one punch and these Admiral have to run away. Escape Escape a Marine Admiral Sanji and others watched this scene and even though they were a little familiar with Ross, knowing Rosss identity and name, but they still felt a wave in their hearts. Even a Marine Admiral had to run away in front of Ross! Now Luffy, in particular, looked at Rosss figure, and there seemed to be a row of little stars in his eyes, and he said, Too so awesome. With some longing in admiration, even a Marine Admiral had to turn around and run away when he saw Ross. This is the strength he desires for becoming a Pirate King, the freedom he yearned for! No one can stop and no one would want to stop, even a Marine Admiral would clear the way for you. CHAPTER 421 THE TIME WILL END Bang! Bang! The remaining two Pacifistas are still pursuing Luffy and Zoro and others. Ross looked at the two Pacifistas and flicked his fingers and hit the two Pacifista with the power of distortions the size of a finger. Boom! The accurate power of distortion hits the chest of the Pacifistas and the chest of the Pacifistas is hollowed out instantly, like a swirling Distortion, and the precision of the internal mechanism crackled and distorted. OK, you can leave. After destroying the two Pacifistas, Ross retracted his fingers and looked at Nami next to him. Nami gradually came back to herself, she smiled and said, You who saved us again, thank you, but we were all seriously injured in order to maintain your rules. Oh? Ross glanced at Nami and said, Serious injury? Where are you injured? Come and let me check it for you? When Sanji heard this, he instantly felt dazzled, and just when he was about to say something, he was held down by Zoro. What are you doing, you idiot nosebleed man? Ah?! What did you say? You Sword Freak! Sanjis anger instantly shifted to Zoro, both of them were seriously injured, but at the moment it seemed like everything was fine with them. Namis expression stiffened slightly when she heard Rosss words. This Come, let me check it carefully and see how I can compensate you. Ross glanced at Nami and walked directly towards her. Nami was startled and took a step back, and said, Well, Im okay, Im not so badly hurt uh You were being greedy now, did you really forget who I am. Ross didnt stop and walked in front of Nami and stopped, looking at her with eyes filled with amusement and said, Ill check you for minor injuries. Nami panicked and looked involuntarily at Luffy and others. But Zoro was still arguing with Sanji, and Luffy and others seemed to see nothing. He distorted the Light and sound and also distorted the space. Ross didnt want anyone to see anything. Even Rayleigh couldnt see through the Space Distortion while using Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, he can only perceive that space is disappeared by Distortion with Ross and Nami and he cannot feel anything more specific. Three minutes later, the screen shook a bit and returned to its original state. Nami bit her lip and looked at Ross angrily, and then puffed out her cheeks, looking pitiful. Nami, whats wrong with you? Luffy noticed that Nami was a little weird and couldnt help asking. In their eyes, Ross just stood in front of Nami and spoke two words with Nami. No its nothing. Nami looked at Ross wrongfully and responded to Luffy. Ross turned a blind eye to her grievances. She was asking for it. You are a little hurt and some places are still bleeding. Well, if you encounter any danger in the future, you can go to Totto Land to hide. Ross casually said to Nami. Nami was still feeling aggrieved but she had already been taken advantage of, and thinking about it would not bring any benefits to her so she said, Where is Totto Land? My territory in the New World, Ross responded casually, no longer paying attention to Luffy and others, but turned to look at Rayleigh. Rayleigh has been on the sidelines since Ross appeared, and he doesnt care what it looks like until Ross sees it. Ross smiled faintly at Rayleigh, and said, I have heard much about you, Rayleigh. You are overpraising me. Rayleigh smiled and said, A long time ago, I heard that someone killed a tenryubito in Sabaody Archipelago. At that time, I wanted to see who had such big courage. Unfortunately, I never had a chance. Today I finally saw you. Rayleigh is a legend on this Grand Line but compared to Ross today, he is no longer that famous. Today, Ross can set sail for Raftel and reach it anytime he wants. Among the Yonk (Four Emperors), only the Red Hair Shanks has not been defeated by Ross, but he is not likely to be Ross opponents. As for Marine Admiral, they were also hammered by Ross. Even if Ross had not reached Raftel, many people have started to call him a Pirate King in this era. He had defeated all Admirals, he had defeated all Yonk (Four Emperors) except for one and if he is not a Pirate King then who is? Even though Ross has not acknowledged or expressed interest in Raftel, there is no doubt that the top pirate of this era is Ross! It was only a moment of courage. Ross shook his head and said, There is no absolute strength needed to do that kind of thing. You cant use strength to describe it, you can only say that it was impulsive. When Rayleigh heard Ross, he couldnt help laughing, and said, How long have you been a pirate at that time? Isnt being young means being impulsive? Yes. Ross nodded and said leisurely: I was too impulsive when I was Young. But I am still that impulsive and I will remain so in the future. This sentence reminded Rayleigh of that year. When he first boarded Rogers ship and fought with Roger on the Grand Line, his Captain also did a lot of impulsive things, and Roger was braver than ever. Now, he cant help but feel a little lost. To be young. Gone forever. Whitebeard is old too. Looking back, Rayleigh couldnt help sighing again, saying, Before, Marine and the government wouldnt have dared to make such a decision. If Whitebeard was in his peak condition, although Garp and Sengoku would have been able to suppress him, they wouldnt have been able to prevent Whitebeard from destroying everything. The power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) is enough to destroy the Marine Headquarters. Even if the Marines won, it would be a terrible victory. Marine wont choose to fight Whitebeard with such a great price involved in it. The times are moving. Ross stared deeply: A New Era is coming. Yes. Rayleigh nodded and said: I dont know if my old bones would allow me to see that New Era. The current time is different from the previous time. The world entered the Great Age of Pirates 22 years ago after the death of the Pirate King Roger, but at the same time, this Great Age of Pirates is also believed to belong to Whitebeard. Golden Lion cut off his legs, Roger was executed, and no one could compete with Whitebeard. Whitebeard stood at the pinnacle of the sea, so the time belonged to him. And a few years ago. From the moment Ross defeated Whitebeard, it can be said that this era belongs to Ross. However, this era belongs to Ross, but it is still called the Great Age of Pirates. Its name has not changed. It is still the age when the government ruled the world and the pirate was numerous. And at the moment. In the dialogue between Ross and Rayleigh, the New Era mentioned is a truly brand new Era, an era no longer named after any Big Pirate! Although the World Government is still huge and stable, the appearance of Ghost Hand Pirates, the construction of the Totto Land, and the development of the Revolutionary Army have already threatened the existence of the World Government itself. Rayleigh knew it. The Era belonging to the World Government would likely come to an end soon! CHAPTER 422 PREPRATION Ross appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago and that caused a shock in the Marine Headquarters, shocking the whole Marine up and down as they were confused about Rosss intentions. Is Ross going to intervene in their war against Whitebeard? To Ross, Whitebeard was the enemy, but Marines were relatively more hostile and much stronger than Whitebeard Pirate. Report, Fleet Admiral. A Headquarters of Rear Admiral hurriedly walked into the highest office and reported to Fleet Admiral Sengoku: The First Division Captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates has now returned to Totto Land, and the Second Division Captain Shiliew of the Rain is still in the Beast Pirates territory. After hearing the report from Rear Admiral, Sengoku felt a little relieved. It seemed that the Ghost Hand Pirates that had just destroyed the Beast Pirates were busy taking over the Beast Pirates territory. They should not be able to free up their troops for the time being to intervene in the coming war. What about the other Division Captains? Aokiji whispered, sitting on the sofa. The Rear Admiral reported: The Sixth Division Captain is nowhere to be found, and the rest of the Division Captains have traces of being in the country. Sengoku thought for a moment and said, Dont be careless, let people keep an eye on Ghost Hand Pirates and report to me at any time they move. Yes, Sir! The Rear Admiral responded and exited the office. After his departure, Aokiji raised his head slightly and said, Since the Ghost Hand Pirates forces are on the Country of Peace, we can rest assured that only Ghost Hand is here, and we can deal with it. Sengoku is also nodded. As long as the entire Ghost Hand Pirates personals arent dispatched and only Ghost Hand Ross came, the Marine Headquarters is not afraid. They can divide up to two top combat powers to suppress Ross, and the remaining Battle power is still sufficient to deal with Whitebeard. In fact, there is no need for Marine Headquarters to build up their troops against the Whitebeard Pirates at all. The reason for the big buildup is to make a complete plan on the one hand, and to prepare for other possible situations! The Admiral Candidates Momousagi and Tokikake, and Zephyr with hidden troops will not appear on the front battlefield unless the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates also appears and attacks Marine. Just the three Admirals and Shichibukai will remain on the front and they are enough to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates. Sabaody Archipelago Island. Somewhere in a Tavern, Ross was sitting face to face with Rayleigh. Its not clear if the Straw Hats are going to get news of Aces execution and go to war, and Ross isnt very interested. It doesnt matter whether they go or not. After chatting with Rayleigh for a few moments, he thought that Rayleigh was quite good, so he followed Rayleigh to this bar, drinking and chatting. Rayleigh While Ross and Rayleigh were talking about New World, a voice came over, and the Mermaid Keimi, with short green hair, came in from outside. She has been hiding here since the accident. You must be Keimi. Ross took a sip of wine and glanced at Keimi sideways. Keimi noticed that Ross was there and was stunned, she was shocked and said, Are you Ross Sama?! As a Mermaid of the Mermaid Island, she knows naturally about who protects the Mermaid Island and no one has dared to offend the Mermaid Island in these years. Even. Rosss attitude towards Fishman Island is far more than that of Whitebeard. He didnt say anything about the island. Even if there was a Mermaid who was caught by the slaver, the Ghost Hand Pirates will dispatch someone to kill the slavers and rescue the mermaids. After several consecutive times, there was no slave organization that dared to touch any Mermaid. Today, it was purely a few slave traders who found Keimi on the land. They got greedy and planned to run away after selling her. Do you not know me? Ross watched Keimi and smiled slightly, and said, I do go to Fishman Island sometimes. I havent seen you before. Keimi murmured, even if she was a mermaid, she couldnt know anything about Ross, let alone the fact that Ross was a protector of the Fishman Island. You had a hand in saving Keimi today. Seeing that Keimi was a bit squeamish, Ross looked back at Rayleigh and laughed. Rayleigh ??smiled and said, Keimi and I have known each other for a long time now. I had intended to be slaves and blackmail the buyer. I didnt expect such a thing to happen, and it was right to save her. Ross nodded and after having a drink with Rayleigh, he said to Keimi standing there: Sit, dont be so restrained, how is Jinbe doing now. He also asked this question casually. Jinbe has never given up the post of Seven Warlords of the Sea. On the one hand, he has contacted the government, and he has also assisted Whitebeard everywhere. On the other hand, as the protector of the Fishman Island, he has also been associated with the Ghost Hand Pirates. But. When the war is about to come, it is impossible to pedal three different ships at the same time. The World Government, which once turned a blind eye will never accept this situation now. Jinbe opposes the governments war against Whitebeard. Rayleigh took over a topic that Keimi didnt know much, saying: There are many islands sheltered by Whitebeard. No matter who wins or loses in this battle, the sea will not remain calm. Jinbe wants to stop the war, but he was locked up by the World Government, he should be in the Impel Down. This result was not unexpected by Ross. But. Its only a matter of time before the world is in chaos, and even if Whitebeard doesnt fall in the War of the Best, how can he possibly sit in Yonkos place for much longer at the ripe old age of 72? Ross is only thirty-one years old, and there is still a long way for him to go before aging. It can even be said that the War of the Best was the last time where Whitebeard could show off his majesty so that Whitebeard would not have to die on the couch because of injuries. If there was no War of the Best, with Whitebeards constantly falling body, maybe in two or three years, it will fall and wouldnt rise. If Whitebeard loses, what are you going to do. Rayleigh stared at the bottle, his thoughts fluttering as if asking himself. Ross calmly said, Ill take over his place. As soon as Whitebeard died, all islands sheltered by Whitebeard would be affected by various pirates and dark forces. However, this time, Ross has prepared several teams to be ready. If Whitebeard died, then he will take over all of his territories. The sea will be yours. Rayleigh opened his mouth slightly. Although he and Roger also swept the sea and pushed Whitebeard and Golden Lion back, they could not defeat Whitebeard and Golden Lion. Or it can be said that they could defeat them but they couldnt destroy them. Today, Ross is already the strongest person in the sea, and the Ghost Hand Pirates are already the strongest pirate force. Even if Whitebeard and Akagami (Red Hair) join forces, they may not be able to resist Rossoffensive attack in the future, let alone Whitebeard. Most of them will lose their lives. Now only Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates would be left after the War of the Best and it is even more impossible for him to do anything to stop Ross. Do whatever they want. This is the future Totto Land. Ross slightly shook his head and said in a leisurely tone: Its hard to say. Isnt there a mountain that nobody has climbed in eight hundred years? World Government? They wont be able to sit there much longer, Rayleigh said with a faint smile. They did destroy OHara but the answer will come out someday. Unfortunately, I am not interested in history, I am only interested in creating the future. Ross sipped calmly. Rayleigh hesitated for a moment, then laughed and didnt speak further and only drank. CHAPTER 423 WAR Nine days later. The Strawhat Luffy gang broke into Impel Down and released some pirates such as Knight of the Sea (Kaiky) Jinbe, but in the end, they were one step behind and failed to rescue Fire Fist Ace. Blackbeard, who arrived later, pushed forward and defeated Chief Magellan. He finally released a large number of prisoners from Eternal Hell. At this time, the prison ship escorting the Fire Fist Ace had reached the Marine Headquarters through the acceleration of the Gate of Justice and the great whirlpool at sea. Now. The entire Marine Headquarters represented a solemn scene and hardly any Marine could be seen with a smile or anything like that, and no one could laugh at this time. The Vice-Admirals and Rear Admirals stood there with a serious expression on their faces and many officers and soldiers stood there with them, their expressions were tense and solemn, all holding their swords or guns. 100,000 Marine Elite! Highest level of war alert! Everything is prepared to welcome one of the three legendary pirates, Whitebeard, Edward Newgate! Dont relax your vigilance! No matter what happens, there are only three hours left, and then it would be over! The Giant Vice-Admiral yelled at the 100,000 Marine on Justice Square. Standing in front of Marine Headquarters are five of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. In addition to Greatest Swordsman in the World Hawkeye Mihawk, and the tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, the rest are pirates that have emerged in recent years. Some have bounties up to Four hundred or Five hundred Million Berries, and some are Pirate Hunters. With such a big army, Seven Warlords of the Sea and 100,000 Marine elite with three Marine Admiral, if Whitebeard is sensible, he would remain in his territory and live out his old age. One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea smiled and said. Naturally. Everyone at the scene knew that with Whitebeards character, it was impossible for him not to come, he will definitely come here. For such a character, it is a shame to die on the sickbed, and only the battlefield is their destiny. Admirals are here! Below the execution platform, three chairs were placed there early. At this time, Akainu Kizaru and Aokiji, one by one, stepped out of the Headquarters and came to the execution platform, and sat down on the chairs. All three wore Marines Justice clock and didnt speak, but as the three sat down in their chairs, they seemed to push out a clam and peaceful feeling which caused the tense Marines to relax a little. Three Marine Admiral! Marine Headquarters highest Battle Force! These three people sat under the execution platform, as if three mountains were standing behind them, which made countless Marines feel at ease. On-time. Fire Fist Ace was fettered in handcuffs and was finally taken to the execution platform. Then came out Fleet Admiral Sengoku of Marine Headquarters and the Marine Hero Garp. Sengoku and Garp walked all the way to the execution stand and Sengoku said to Garp: Thats it, Garp, Im going to announce everything. Do as you please, Im going down. Garp responded with a low emotion and then came to the bottom of the execution platform and stood with Chief Staff Tsuru. Its not your fault. Tsuru glanced at the silent Garp and spoke. Garp grinned, covering his emotions with a big laugh, and said, Are you being gentle with me at this time, Tsuru Chan. On the execution platform, Ace heard Garps voice and he opened his eyes and glanced at him, the expressions in his eyes couldnt be more complicated. Ace! Name your father! Sengoku picked up a speaker Den Den Mushi and went to the execution stand, saying righteously. Ace closed his eyes and said, My Father is Whitebeard. Wrong! Sengoku interrupted Ace and said, Your mothers name was Portcas D. Rouge, and she had an affair with a man who was once the biggest criminal in the world. Later, he came to be known as the Pirate King. Speaking of this, Sengokus tone suddenly became incredibly sharp, shouting to the world: Yes! Your biological father is the Pirate King Gol D Roger! There was a moment of silence in the audience. In the Sabaody Archipelago Island and many other islands, people were using Den Den Mushi to remotely watch the Marine Headquarters scene were also silent. The blood of the Pirate King is still in this world! Hawkeye was also looking sideways and glanced at the execution platform with the light from the corner of his eye. The news was slightly unexpected to him. In Lougrtown that year, he was also one of the witnesses who saw Rogers execution and he had also heard the words Roger had spoken that started the Great Age of Pirates. Ace gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. Naturally, he didnt approve of this information being published. In his heart, the only father he had is Whitebeard. And just as Ace gritted his teeth, and the whole audience was in an uproar, and countless people couldnt help talking about it, a Marine Rear Admiral suddenly came over in panic. Fleet Admiral Sengoku! There was an obituary, the Gate of Justice has been opened without anyone issuing instructions, and we are unable to contact the power room! What?! Sengoku turned his head, his face suddenly changed. He immediately raised his head and looked out to the distant sea, only to see the misty sea. Without the Marines knowing anything, many ships have gradually appeared. These ships gradually showed their shape. It was a completely different Pirate Ship. Take a closer look. There are as many as thirty or forty ships! Attack?! Wait a minute, we havent seen Whitebeard yet. Seeing the emergence of the large fleet of pirate, countless Marines appeared nervous. As everyone searched for Whitebeards trail, a huge shadow emerged from the sea surface of the harbor, and then countless bubbles murmured. At the top of the Marine Headquarters fortress, Distortion appeared in the space and even if this location was observed with Observation Haki, the abnormal shape here can not be detected. No one knows when but Ross had appeared here was just sitting there as if he had been here for a long time. So he looked down at the harbor and looked at the gurgling bubbles, his eyes flickered slightly as he spoke. The plot hasnt changed. Under the shock and unexpected gaze of countless people, Moby Dick, wrapped in a coated bubble, got out of the water! Wearing a large salamander jacket and holding the Bisento, a figure walked out step by step and came to the front of the deck. The end of Bisento collided with the ships board, making a sound, without any confusion and anxiety. This figure had a naked upper body, and although he is old, his boldness still makes many Marines tremble! Whitebeard. Edward Newgate! With the emergence of Whitebeard, the War of the Best has finally kicked off! CHAPTER 424 BEGINS Kch! Whitebeard flexed his sturdy, muscular arms and hammered them into the air. The power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) was used and blows the air around it like cracks on the mirror surface, spreading in all directions. Father Ace was restrained on the execution platform and as he watched this scene, he could not help but grit his teeth and shouted, Why did you come here! It was my fault that I went out alone and got caught. Ace is not a fool. He knew in his mind that Marine Headquarters put such a large lineup not only to execute him but also to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates! But. As Garp said, Whitebeard will still come here. His Second Division Captain was being publicly executed. Regardless of the cause and effect, he will definitely come. This is Whitebeards nature. Before Ross and after Roger, he ruled this era for more than a decade. No, I let you go, Whitebeard said calmly. At the same time, Marco and others also folded their arms in front of them and said, Yes, I heard that too. You have suffered a lot, Ace. In any case, the cause of this incident was that Blackbeard who killed Fourth Division Captain Thatch and Ace went to sea to kill him. Although there is a willful factor in it, no one could bear such a thing. You wait, Ace! Well save you! Marine Headquarters, get ready to die! Countless pirates grinned, fearlessly facing Marine Headquarters, with a wicked and unruly look on their faces, yelling. Below the execution platform, although Aokiji Akainu and Kizaru were still sitting there securely, there Observation Haki was all open and they were ready to go. Its time to start. Theres a lot of trouble coming. As the three men spoke one by one, the earth began to tremble slightly. The tremor grew larger and became a violent earthquake. Millions of people looked at MarineHeadquarters in horror and saw a huge tsunami on either side of MarineHeadquarters, which was large enough to cover the entire Marine fortress. Here we go. The guy started the earthquake, turned it into a tsunami. Garp, who has fought against Whitebeard countless times, glanced down at the tsunami and said, The earthquake man with Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), Whitebeard, Edward Newgate! Right now. Countless people watching the Marine Headquarters scene through the broadcast showed a shocked face, even if most of them were living on the Grand Line, but this level of power is still not something they can recognize with their current thinking process! This is the power of Whitebeard! Too frightening. He caused a tsunami, its incredible Many people couldnt help muttering. Some people cant help but think that Whitebeards power is already so terrifying. Then what about Ross who had defeated Whitebeard and recently destroyed the Beast Pirates. How terrifying should he be? Splash!! A huge wave was pouring down to engulf Marine Headquarter and just in time, Aokiji stepped out into the air, where the ability of ice-ice Fruit was aroused. Ice Age! Two ice branches spread out, inserted into the huge ocean waves, and in a blink of an eye, the huge tsunami enough to devour Marine Headquarters was frozen into two icebergs! This scene has caused countless shocks. Thats Admiral from Marine Headquarters, Aokiji! He froze the terrifying tsunami. In the face of this level of power, countless people feel their insignificance, and they are not at their level at all, even those Marine generals began to feel the same. After freezing the tsunami, Aokiji tentatively attacked Whitebeard. Aokiji, you little bastard. Whitebeard punched the empty space in front of him without any hesitation. Kch! The air ruptured suddenly, a force of shock hit the entire front area, hitting Aokiis body causing his body to be shattered instantly, and the ice fell into the sea below, but then the entire sea area in the harbor was frozen. The scene fell into a brief silence. After stagnating for a few seconds, A Vice-Admiral of Marine Headquarters waved his blade and yelled, Bombard! Destroy the Moby Dick! With the issuing of this order, the stagnant battlefield finally broke out again, countless pirates rushed off the ship, stepped on the ice, and rushed towards the harbor. At the same time, numerous Marines generals on the Marine side also dispatched one after another. The war broke out! When the Marine Headquarterss forces and the Whitebeard subordinates pirates rushed together, a splendid sword energy suddenly broke into the air. This sword energy is so immense that wherever it went, countless people were forced to retreat and the harbor frozen by Aokiji is also divided into two under this sword energy! Thats Greatest Swordsman in the World, Hawkeye Mihawk! Someone looked at this scene and couldnt help looking at the direction in which the sword energy came from and he suddenly saw the figure holding the Black Blade (Kokut). Many people in the Sabaody Archipelago islands are also shocked at this moment. This sword attack is too exaggerated, are they really human?! Bang! Under the shocked gaze of countless people, the vast sword energy suddenly stopped and was stiffly resisted by a figure which lifted the sword energy into the sky where it eventually disappeared. Blocking Hawkeyes attack was the Third Division Captain, Diamond Jozu. You have to take out the king as soon as possible if you want to finish this war. Kizaru looked at the battlefield and stood up and walked forward. He had been wounded by Ross in the Sabaody Archipelago island and has almost recovered in these days. However, it still made him unhappy for several days. At this time, when the war broke out, he was naturally unhappy and planned to vent out his anger. Whiz! Kizaru turned into a golden light and suddenly appeared in mid-air, and a sphere made out of light struck towards Whitebeard. He can do nothing against the Strongest person in this world but he can fight against an old guy who has lost the strongest name in the world. But. His attack failed to hit Whitebeard and it was blocked by First Division Captain Marco. You cant aim at the king from the get-go. Marco flew up towards Kizaru without any hesitation after blocking his attack, he fought against Kizaru in the sky and forced Kizaru to fall to the ground. Stopping Kizarus attack, another strong man. Whitebeard Pirates First Division Captain, Undead Marco, I heard that no matter what injuries he suffers, he can recover under that blue flame! Someone looked up at the sky at Marcos figure and said with a bit of fright. CHAPTER 425 ARRIVES Giant Unit, pay attention to the enemies in the air. After Kizaru fell back to the ground, he said to the Giant Unit. The Giant Unit of Marine Headquarters responded in unison and then stepped forward to join the battlefield. Giant Unit The Third Division Captain Diamond Jozu stared at the Giant Unit rushing towards them and he could not help but think of the Giant Corps of the Ghost Hand Pirates. The Giant Corps of Ghost Hand Pirates and the Giant Unit of Marine Headquarters in front of them, are not in the same level in any way! Especially the leader of the Giant Corps, Thunder Giant Hajrudin, even he would have difficulty in dealing with him and Marco would only be able to fight him on equal terms! Youre a long way from that fellows Giant Regiment! With a roar of rage, Jozu cracked the ice with a thump of his fist, struggling to lift an iceberg-like mass of ice and threw it toward the Giant Unit. Akainu looked at the huge ice cube, and his face became gloomy. It wasnt the ice cube that made him unhappy, but what Jozu had just said. The Ghost Hand Pirates Giant Corps has now become the worlds most terrible army, with powerful Devil Fruits users such as Thunder, Sand, and metal gathered together to create a terrifying combat power that is enough for Marine Headquarters to have a headache! And by comparison. The Giant Unit on the Marine side feels like children playing in the sand. Its not that Marines and the government dont have powerful Devil Fruit, but on the one hand, they are reluctant to use it on giants. On the other hand, they are worried that once the Giants eat the Devil Fruit, their strength would increase too much and they wouldnt be able to control them. A combination of factors led to the creation of a Giant Unit that was neither weak nor strong. But compared to the Giant Regiment under the command of the Ghost Hand Ross, the Marines Giant Unit is a joke. The forces that fought for Pirates would never be comparable to the forces that fought for Justice! Unable to find a retort to Jozus words, Akainu had to squelch his face and cover up the Giant Unit in the name of Justice and blow out his fist in anger. Bang !!!!!! The huge fist of the magma swept away the huge ice cube without a trace and then turned into numerous volcanic bombs, hitting the whole harbor. Despite the current melee situation in the harbor, Akainu does not care about his own people at all, as long as most of the attacks hit the Whitebeard Pirates, he doesnt care. Bang! Bang! Bang! The violent attacks hit the ice surface and the area shook for a while. Under the eruption of the volcanic bombs, the general pirates and Marines could only scream and escape around as it was difficult for them to resist it. With the appearance of Little Oars Jr., the battle is finally into Whitebeards favor and finally, Oars fell and completely penetrated the bay. But. There is no doubt that the invasion of the bay was a long-established strategy on the Marine side, otherwise, it would be difficult to enter the bay directly with Sengoku and the three Admiral with Seven Warlords of the Sea guarding it. After putting Whitebeards side into the harbor and under the command of Sengoku, a special battle plan was already ready. But. Before waiting for Marine to implement the battle plan, a voice suddenly came from above. No one has noticed it yet. Ross, who is sitting on the top of the Marine Fortress, also raised his head and looked up with interest. It still fell. With the sound of crumbling ice, a Battleship falls from the sky and into the battlefield, along with Knight of the Sea (Kaiky) Jinbe, Ivanov, and Strawhat Luffy gang! Everyone, including Whitebeard, was stunned for a few seconds. Its your family again, Garp! Sengoku couldnt help but scream at Garp as he reacted. Garp opened his mouth wide and stared. He did not expect Luffy to come at the Marine Headquarters at this time! The man everyones talking about, Straw Hat Hawkeye looked sideways at the boy who had made Akagami give his hat and arm. Sengoku gave Garp an angry look, then turned to look at the battlefield again and looked at Knight of the Sea (Kaiky) Jinbe, and clenched his fist, Is this your choice? Jinbe! Yes! I wont be a Shichibukai anymore! Jinbe stood beside Luffy and responded, I will rescue Ace this time! This is Marine Headquarters. Standing on the other side of Luffy was Zoro holding his blade. He looked up at the execution platform and said, Hey Luffy, your brother is there. Huh, all big and ruthless characters are here. Sanji lit a cigarette and took a sip, pretending to be relaxed but he actually felt extremely heavy pressure in his heart. In this battlefield, Shichibukai are not the leader. Marine Admiral and Whitebeard are the top fighting forces in this war! Are you afraid? Zoros head didnt turn as he asked this. Sanji was immediately irritated when he heard this: You are the one who is afraid, idiot green algae head! The two started to quarrel but Luffy took a deep breath and rushed forward, beating two Marines in a row, saying: Ace! Im here to save you! Hey, Luffy. When Zoro and Sanji saw Luffy rushing out, they could only take a deep breath and rushed forward. But before waiting for the three men to run out, a magnificent sword energy swept across the battlefield and instantly stopped in front of Luffy and others. Hawkeye Zoros eyes suddenly set and he looks away at the figure holding Black Blade (Kokut) in the distance. He didnt think he could win against Hawkey now, and it was unexpected for him to meet Hawkey here. Nami also noticed Hawkeye and couldnt help bursting into tears. Hawkeye is here, Marine Admirals are also here. What the hell are they doing here! Hawkeye also glanced at Zoro and secretly said, This battlefield is too early for you. Huh! Without waiting for Hawkeye to step forward, the Whitebeard Pirates Fifth Division Captain Flower Sword Vista rushed over to block Hawkeye and did not give Hawkeye a chance to attack Luffy and others. Seeing that Hawkeye was blocked by another swordsman, Zoro also came back to himself and followed Luffy and rushed forward, and the three of them went forward under the cover of Ivankov and Jinbe. As Luffy and others broke into the battlefield, the situation in the war also changed, and countless sights focused on Luffy, making him inexplicably become the center of attention. CHAPTER 426 AWE-INSPIRING Luffy brought a group of prisoners from Impel Down, as well as a Shichibukai, Jinbe, who are not ordinary Battle forces, which has caused a considerable impact on this battlefield. Marines who had a big advantage before were stuck on being defensive. Ready to launch a battle plan! Sengoku stood on the execution platform while looking at a chaotic battlefield, he was holding Den Den Mushi in his hand and said in a deep voice while staring at Whitebeard from a distance. The Whitebeard Pirates, along with the Straw Hats, darted into the square below the execution platform, while Marine began to fight and retreat, retreating from the ice in the harbor to the square and constantly blocking the attacks of the Whitebeard Pirates. Shortly after Sengokus order was issued. About twenty Pacifistas appeared at the back of the battlefield and began a willful attack on members of the Whitebeard Pirate regiment as ordered. Bartholomew Kuma no, is World Governments human weapon? Marco stared at the Pacifistas in the back and spoke. Whitebeard also glanced at the rear at this moment but he spoke with a deep voice: Dont care about the enemies behind you, kill the enemies in front! At this time, if the division of troops deals with the Pacifista forces, it will undoubtedly greatly delay the rhythm of the attack on the square. Whitebeard sees it very clearly. And at this time. The Captain of the Squard Pirate, Squard appeared on the Moby Dick where Whitebeard stood. Squard, are you all right? I contacted you just now. Whitebeard glanced sideways at Squard. Squard said: Ah, Im fine, Father, some of our men were seriously injured. As he spoke, he stepped forward. Whitebeard didnt care either. But when Squard came up, a small number of people, such as Admiral Akainu on the Marine side and Fleet Admiral Sengoku hid an imperceptible glimmer in their eyes. At the next moment. In a situation where no one on the Whitebeard side thought of it, Squad turned suddenly and stabbed Whitebeard in the chest. Whitebeard hardly raised any vigilance against Squard. In addition, he was too old to avoid the sneak attacks by Ace in his sleep two years ago. Under Squards blade, he failed to make any response! But. Before Sengoku, Akainu, and others could show their relief, at the top of Marine Headquarters fortress, Ross fired a silent single shot. Siii! A stone flew through the air and blinked across space with a power of distortion, and hit Squards blade with perfect precision. Whitebeard is someone who fought with him. How can he let Marine use this insidious means to weaken Whitebeards combat power. Ross said calmly to himself. Snap! The stone hits the edge of Squards blade. This big blade wrapped in Armament Haki shattered in an instant under the impact of the stone.!! Huh?! Seeing this scene, almost everyone was stunned. Their Kenbonshoku (Observation) had been open, and they had turned their heads to find the location where the tone came from, but in this chaotic battlefield, they cant find where the stone came from! Squard! What the hell are you doing?! Marco was also stunned by this and then he flew back violently, hitting Squards face with his fist. Whitebeards eyes also flashed with a strange color, Sengoku and others may have failed to notice something more specific, but the nearest one, he was aware that the stone that smashed Squards blade was condensed with a force that he is very familiar with. Is he here too? Whitebeard raised his head and glanced at the battlefield, but he could not find Rosss figure. Unable to find Ross, Whitebeard had a thought in his mind, but he did not intend to continue the search. Instead, he glanced coldly at Sengoku on the execution platform coldly. Why did you do that, Squard! Marco angrily pressed Squards head and yelled at him. Squard gritted his teeth and said: Dont pretend to not know anything Marco, dont you plan to use our lives to exchange Aces life, isnt that your deal with the Marines! Now we have no retreat, arent we under attack? Idiot! Marco was furious and scolded. Even if he didnt know the specifics, he also guessed that Squard was most likely deceived by the Marines. Fortunately, someone stopped that blade. Otherwise, it would be difficult to imagine, what would have happened to Whitebeard who got stabbed by his own son! To say that I betrayed my sons Whitebeard looked at Sengoku, put the Bisento in his hand on the ships board and slammed his fists, knocking on the Void on both sides, and the force of the shock burst out, destroying the two icebergs formed by Aokiji and creating an escape route. This blow directly opened the way for the pirates to flee. The so-called betrayal was naturally a piece of false news. As a pirate, decide what you should believe! Whitebeard shouted loudly: Those who dont fear death, come with me! With a roar, Whitebeard held the Bisento and finally jumped from the deck of Moby Dick and suddenly charged into the battlefield. Damn it. Sengoku looked at this scene and couldnt help but scold. Their plan didnt work, let alone weaken Whitebeard, their failed plan enraged Whitebeard. Its like giving the enemy a BUFF. Bang! Bang! Bang! Whitebeard, who had entered the battlefield, burst out with a terrifying power under his anger. Although he is much weaker than the time when he fought against Ross a few years ago, on this battlefield, he is still unstoppable and invincible! Every time the power of the shock broke out, it was a nightmare power for Marines, which shattered the surface of the ice and the square and countless people flew upside down. Bastard. Looking at this scene, Akainu couldnt help but curse his heart, and he rushed forward with a punch and the magma exploded as he hit Whitebeard. If we let you run wild, this island wont be able to take. Gurararara, then try to protect it. Whitebeard grinned and his right fingers folded into a fist and the white shock power condensed on his fist as he waved furiously against Akainus fist. Bang! The shock collided with the magma. Although Whitebeards body is old and he is not as powerful as Ross, but his powers are still terrifying without being stabbed or secretly injured. During the collision of the two fists, the magma continued to burst and shatter, and the concussive force finally prevailed. It bluntly attacked and pushed Akainu backward.! ICE BALL! Aokiji saw that the situation was not good and he immediately came to support Akainu, but before he could take any other actions, the ice ball was directly shattered from the inside by Whitebeard. Whitebeard grasped the Bisento with both hands and slammed it forward. Kch! The atmosphere directly in front of him seemed to break apart like ice. The terrifying shock power swept over and Aokijis body shattered and flew backward. In the distance, Kizaru let out a cursing sound but at this point, he had to bite the bullet. He came up to Whitebeard in a flash, his fingers glinting, and shot a few lasers at Whitebeards chest. Huh! Whitebeards Observation Haki has already been opened. At the moment, under the condition of no attack, he was able to respond to Kizarus speed completely. His right arm bent forward, defending himself with Armament Haki. Then Whitebeard punched out and Kizarus figure had to be converted into golden light, his ability was not suitable for a frontal hard fight and Whitebeards attack range was too large. Short burst. The Three Admiral took turns in battle and were all repelled by Whitebeard! The strength of the once strongest man in the world shook the battlefield and made countless people tremble! CHAPTER 427 RESCUE Ice Age! After Aokiji was pushed back, he immediately re-condensed his body. Although he was a little embarrassed, as Marine Admiral, he was not injured by Whitebeard. He hit Ice Age and froze towards Whitebeard. At the same time, Akainu also launched an attack on Whitebeard and Kizaru also launched several lasers after retreating to a long distance. However, the Division Captains of Whitebeards Pirates are not newbies, and they were strong and also how can Whitebeard be defeated by three admirals? Fuck Off! Marco charged towards Akainu and kicked him. He was also annoyed at Akainu at the moment because it was Akainu who swindled Squard and almost caused him to stab Whitebeard. Humph! Diamond Jozu also charged into Aokiji with Armament Haki all over the body and slammed into him, he forced Aokiji to pay his attention to him. As for Kizaru, he was also caught by several Division Captains nearby. The top five Division Captains of the Whitebeard Pirates are all comparable to the levels of Three Disasters and the Four Sweet Commanders. Although the lower-ranked Division Captains are not as good as the Three Disasters, they are pirates with a bounty of 450 Million Berries. They can keep an Admiral busy. With Whitebeards personal deployment, the entire battlefield has completely entered into a full-scale war, the huge momentum has caused countless people to tremble. This is Whitebeard Pirates! Too frightening. Its unbelievable that Whitebeard is this strong, how powerful is that Ghost Hand Ross who defeated him. Someone couldnt help but think of Ross and the Ghost Hand Pirates. They were shocked in their hearts. The Ghost Hand Pirates defeated the Whitebeard Pirates, but it really existed! Watching Whitebeards great power on the battlefield as he rushed towards the execution. Sengoku frowned and rolled his sleeves, saying: It seems that we cant stand idly by, Garp. Garp didnt respond. He just sat there with his head down, as if the battlefield below had nothing to do with him. Sengoku who watched couldnt help but scold him. In the situation where Whitebeard was too powerful and Garp didnt take action, Luffys group remained unimpeded on the battlefield and they rushed forward and finally rushed to the execution stage! Ace! Luffy looked at the execution platform and screamed. Ivankovs subordinate Inazuma immediately created a ladder leading to the execution platform. Looking at Luffy rushing up, Sengoku couldnt help but scrunch his eyebrows, and he planned to stop them but before he could even start, Garp, who was sitting there with bowed head, finally raised his head and rushed out. Garp Seeing Garp rushing out, Sengoku was slightly relieved, but thinking of the relationship between Luffy and Garp, he couldnt help but feel a weird feeling in his heart and could not help but scold Garp for doing stupid things. Garps Battle power is beyond doubt. The Marine Hero before the Great Age of Pirates, who once defeated Kaido and BIGMOMs Captain Lockes, strictly speaking, Roger is half a generation younger than Garp. In todays battlefield, if Garp is determined to block the way, except for Whitebeard, even Marco cant fly to the execution platform! But. Luffy is his grandson. Garp gritted his teeth, but he couldnt swing his fist in the end. He was punched down by Luffy and fell below the execution platform. Why bother. Ross sat at the very top of the Marine Headquarters fortress and watched this scene while shaking his head. After Garp gave up resistance, Luffy finally rushed to the execution platform and then under Sengokus eyes, he opened Aces Seastone shackles with a miraculous twist,! Good job! Luffy! Zoro, Sanji, and others looked up at this scene and couldnt help but smile. However, because Luffy rescued Ace, no one noticed that Nami was surrounded by several Rear Admiral and Military Officers of Marine Headquarters, and her face became pale. Her attention also fell on Luffy and Ace. After recovering, she had already lost her team and was surrounded by Marines. Just when she wanted to call for help, the blades of several Rear Admiral had already been mercilessly hacked towards her. Although her strength is not bad, how can she be an opponent of Headquarters Rear Admiral? Even if she tried hard to resist, she wouldnt last a single attack against them. The weather stick that can stretch and shrink, grow long and short and release small thunderclouds and small rain clouds is useless at this moment. And just at the very moment. In the Void next to her, a hand came out suddenly from the empty space and grabbed her shoulder and dragged her back, and she disappeared from the battlefield. The few Rear Admiral and Military Officers who rushed over were all stunned and became dumbfounded. Shes gone! Whats the hell, what is her ability? This group of people is completely puzzled. As for Vice-Admirals and Admirals and others, all of their attention is now on Fire Fist Ace and Strawhat Luffy. No one notices the situation here. Marine Headquarters fortress roof. Distortion appeared in the Void next to Ross as if the mirror was refracting. One of his hands dived into the Distortion Void, grabbed something, and pulled back. At the next moment, Namis figure flew out of Distortions Void and fell in front of Ross. She didnt know what happened, and she screamed with her eyes closed. Hello Darling, stop screaming. Ross reached out and pushed her chin up, forcing her to stop screaming. At this time, Nami slowly opened her eyes and then looked around with a dazed look on her face. Where is she?! Here is She looked down and saw that there was still a scuffle on the battlefield. After Luffy rescued Ace, they were being pursued by Aokiji Akainu and others. At the moment, Ross was sitting there, wearing a black cloak, holding his knees with both hands, and looking at the battlefield below. You dared to come to such a place, should I applaud you for your courage or mock you for your foolishness. While looking at the battlefield below, Ross said casually. Seeing Rosss figure, Nami gradually realized what was going on. While feeling relieved, she couldnt help but feel strange. For a while, she didnt know whether to lean in or lean farther. I just saved you this time, consider it a compensation for the last time when I said that you could come to Totto Land. When Nami didnt speak, Ross said casually. When Nami heard it, she couldnt keep silent at all, and said, How could you do that! How could you take back your own words like this! Ross tilted his head and said to her, Thats also right, how about this, I suppose it would cancel out if I throw you back into the battlefield. As he spoke, Ross raised his hand and grabbed Nami. Nami was startled and quickly backed away, pitifully saying: How can such a big man like you haggle for small things. Well, it makes sense. Ross touched his chin a little and thought about it, he waved at Nami and signaled: Come here, come here, sit and watch slowly. Nami hesitated for a while and finally couldnt think of a good way to resist so she walked forward obediently. Unexpectedly, when she walked over to Ross and sat down, Ross did not put his hand on her, but still sat there with his hand holding his knees, looking at the battlefield below. This battle is almost over. Ross looked at the battlefield below and his eyes flashed, he muttered and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment. CHAPTER 428 THROWING DOWN End? Nami sat next to Ross, looking at the battlefield below and said: Its almost over, Ace has been rescued. The next step is to retreat. No, I didnt mean that. Ross shook his head and said, Even Akainu can only suppress and cannot win in a short period of time against the current Whitebeard. But Whitebeards body is aging too fast, and he is weakening. Even if he can leave this battlefield alive, how long can his body persist? One year? Two years? Without Whitebeard, Whitebeard Pirates is just a name. Ross spoke slowly. In this world, there are not many people who can escape their old age. Now. On the battlefield below, Akainu began a relentless pursuit of Ace and Luffy. In fact, Aces strength is no different from that of Three Disasters or Four Commander and he can temporarily hold down Marine Admiral powerhouse, but because he lost to Blackbeard first, and was imprisoned in Eternal Hell, he is already running out of juice. In this case, it is naturally difficult for him to confront Akainu who is more powerful than him. Ace! Seeing that Ace was getting beaten, Luffy couldnt help but exclaim and was about to step forward, but his body kneeled involuntarily, not listening to him. After continuous injection of Ivankovs hormones, his body has already reached its limit, but he has not yet noticed it. It is surprising that the Pirate King Roger and the Revolutionary Army Dragons son turned out to be brothers. The existence of your bloodline is a big sin. You will not get out of here alive. Akainu coldly said and suddenly turned towards Luffy. Although Ace is exhausted, he is the Second Division Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. After all, he can only injure Ace and it does not mean that he can kill Ace in a short period of time. The fighters on this battlefield are constantly changing, and fighting is meaningless. Whiz! With a horizontal motion, Akainu is in front of Luffy. Luffy! Ace turned around in a terrible fright. But before he can do anything, Zoro and Sanji, who are closer to Luffy realized that something is wrong and they both rush toward Luffy. Whiz! Sanji couldnt get close enough to prevent Akainus fist, so he said sorry in his heart and then he kicked Luffy on the shoulder and kicked him out. Akainus magma fist washes down and Zoro swings his sword to resist it. The blade is instantly swallowed up by the lava and the sword is destroyed. Damn It! Zoro stepped back and couldnt help but curse, but at this moment, he didnt care about his sword and said to Sanji: Hurry up and take Luffy away! Akainu didnt expect his attack to miss by Sanjis intervention. He could not help revealing a gloomy look and punched towards Zoro. Before his punch could fall. Fire Fist! Gosenmaigawara Seiken(Five Thousand Tile True Punch)! Ace and Jinbe, who had once fought against each other for five days and five nights at the time, were together in a tacit understanding to bring Akainu down. Bastard! Akainu had a look of anger on his face as he turned his head to attack Ace but before he could do it, a shadow suddenly enveloped him. His Observation Haki sensed the situation behind him and Akainus body suddenly stiffened, his heart screamed badly for prioritizing Ace and Luffy, and ignoring Whitebeard! Kch! Whitebeard coldly looked at Akainu and punched him. On the battlefield, there is no right or wrong. Akainu took advantage of Luffys inability to attack him, revealing his flaws and being caught by Whitebeard is naturally a cause and effect cycle. Bang! Akainu was crushed by Whitebeards punch and splattered into magma, and wriggled towards the distance, as he reemerged, he coughed out blood from his mouth. But, he is a Marine Admiral and it is impossible for him to be seriously injured by Whitebeard in only one attack and he immediately turned back to fight back. This time both sides can be said to have become angry. When Whitebeard came to Marine Headquarters, he didnt plan to continue to live at all. He ignored Akainus fist and hit Akainus head with his backhand. Bang! Whitebeard took Akainus punch in the chest, and at the same time, his fist also hit Akainus head, instantly buzzing Akainus entire mind! Akainu was knocked backward. Father! Admiral Akainu! The Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines were shocked when they saw this scene. Whitebeard, who had taken a hit from Akainu, was also thoroughly injured and tottered backward, but Akainu was in significantly worse condition and could hardly get up. Whitebeard took two steps back and stood again, he ignored the hole in the chest which was releasing lava as if it didnt exist, his whole figure looked terrifying. As I said before go light some birthday candles you magma bastard! As his words fell, Whitebeard held his Bisento with both hands and slammed it towards Akainu. Akainu was dizzy at the moment. Even if he knew that the situation was not good, he was struggling to stand when he saw Whitebeards Bisento falling towards him. Stop it! Whitebeard! Sengoku, who was not far away, let out a roar because Garp had not yet made a scene, he did not have to hold Garp down and at this moment, he suddenly revealed the shape of the Buddha and a shockwave was smashed over. The impact collided with the shocks condensed on the Whitebeard Bisento, and a violent sound erupted, causing the entire square to shatter. Marco, take everyone and go. Whitebeard stood there, without any intention of retreating. He knew very well that the Whitebeard Pirate regiment could not retreat with everyone, someone had to stay here. On this battlefield, the only person who can draw the attention of all the Marines is him and only he can take them all for some time. Others are not strong enough to do so. Attention everyone! Dont let any pirate escape! Sengoku knew Whitebeards thoughts and yelled at the Marines while charging towards Whitebeard. Ace has been rescued and if the others in the Whitebeard Pirate regiment retreated, then this war would be counted as their loss, even if Whitebeard was killed. Gurarara, your opponent is me! Whitebeard laughed loudly and waved his Bisento and slashed it towards Sengoku. The aftermath of the swing hit the square of the Marine Headquarters. The entire Marine Headquarters square broke apart under Whitebeards attack. The turbulence even shook the Marine Fortress at the back, as if it was about to collapse. The terrifying power caused Nami to scream and her figure became unstable because of the violent vibrations and she rolled over and fell to the side. This posture is very unsightly because Ross is sitting there with his legs up and when she fell over this time, she was right on top of him, her long, round legs going straight up, and Ross looked down just in time to catch a glimpse of the Holy Light. CHAPTER 429 TIME Fortunately, Namis posture did not prevent Ross from continuing to watch the battlefield below and as they were blocked by Distortion Space, no one could see them. Woo! Namis body twisted a few times and she finally jumped from Rosss body, but her expression at the moment was very interesting. Watching the battle between Sengoku and Whitebeard, Ross saw that she didnt move. Im in a lot of pain from your head, He said. Cant you say something? Nami would like to say that she wouldnt be able to hurt him even if she tried her best and when she hits her head against his, she felt that her head has been hurt and it left a red mark. Before she could say anything, the aftermath of the battle between Whitebeard and Sengoku exploded again, and the Marine Fort shook again and Nami lurched back again. But it wasnt a fall on Ross, it was a fall directly under the fort. Looking at the height of the Marine Fort, she cried out in alarm, but before she could fall headlong, a hand caught her ankle. Again. Ross grabbed her by the ankles, pulled her back, and took an unmarked glance at a spot, his face unchanged. Nami wanted to cry now. But she recovered quickly. After re-stabilizing her body, she could not help flashing the picture she saw when she almost fell and stared. She still vaguely remembered that she just saw a strange big guy under the Marine Headquarters and a strange group of figures. They dont look like Marines. Its almost my turn. Ross did not sit down again. He placed one hand on Namis bare incense shoulder, holding Nami steady and looking down at the battlefield. Nami came to her senses and when she heard Ross words, her big eyes flashed with surprise. What do you want to do? She asked. The following Marine Admirals, Whitebeard and so on are already terrible monsters, but this is the monster among monsters! Once he start, Im afraid it will be earthshaking! I am a Pirate. Ross glanced at Nami and said, In this case, I have to see if I can completly destroy the Marine Headquarters. Completly destroy the MarineHeadquarters Destroy the Marine Headquarters Marine Headquarters Nami wanted to cry but there were no tears, this really is a terrible purpose! While Ross was speaking, Blackbeard and his gang, who were hiding near Marine Headquarters, were finally discovered by Marines. Hahahahahaha, long time no see, Father, its nice to see you before you die, Hahahahaha! This burst of laughter came from the man that killed Whitebeard Pirates Fourth Division Captain Thatch and led to the outbreak of the war, Blackbeard Teach. Behind him are also the partners he has searched for after he defected from the Whitebeard Pirates, and the men he set free from Impel Down who has now joined his Blackbeard Pirate Regiment! At this moment. Countless lights come together. Sengokus face became a little ugly in an instant. Although he guessed that Blackbeard might be coming to do things, he did not expect Blackbeard to sneak into Marine Headquarters! How did you come here? Teach Whitebeards eyes moved from Sengoku to Blackbeard. His face was gloomy, his voice low, but there was a terrible fury in it. Meanwhile, through a special broadcast channel, the people looking at the battlefield also looked shocked. Some people called out the name of Blackbeard, while others recognized the murderous pirate behind Blackbeard! Colossal Battleship, Sanjuan Wolf and Crescent Moon Hunter, Catarina they are all Impel Down prisoners! The appearance of the Blackbeard Pirates caused Marines to freeze again. In Marine Headquarters at this moment. Both Momousagi and Tokikake are wearing the Great Justice Marine Clock, as well as the former Marine Admiral Zephyr are here. They were so close but I didnt even notice them. Blackbeard Teach Momousagis eyes flashed with a cold light and her hand pressed against the blade. Tokikake stopped her and said, Dont worry, the situation is still under control and we dont need to show ourselves for the time being. Marines only revealed a part of their powers in the War of The Best and kept most of their powerhouses hidden, their purpose for doing this was to prevent all unexpected situations. With all the power of Marine Headquarters, a Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirate force is simply not enough to fight against it. Even two or even three Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirate wont be enough to defeat them as long as Garp Sengoku and all others fight together. If there are really three Yonk (Four Emperors) in the Marine Headquarters, then the World Government wont just sit back and ignore it, they will soon send reinforcements and the situation will evolve into a bigger battlefield. In short. Marine Headquarters and World Government are not afraid of any positive confrontation! Teach! Whitebeard set aside Sengoku and shouted Blackbeards name and said in a low voice: Only you, You re the only one I will not call a son, Teach, you have committed the only untouchable rule on my ship, you have killed your comrade! When his words fell, Whitebeard suddenly punched toward Blackbeard and the power of shock raged and broke the ground directly in front of him. Although Sengoku was not on the front, he was forced to take back two steps. He looked at the scene with a sullen face but did not intervene. Whitebeard dealt with Blackbeard and Marines just looked at it. It was not necessary to waste their Battle power to deal with both sides at the same time. The goal of this war was to win and the purpose was to reduce the losses on their side and expand the losses of the enemy as much as possible. When Marco and others saw Blackbeard, they were all furious and tried to rush over, but Whitebeard stopped Marco and others. Dont come! Marco, Marco, Im going to kill this guy myself for what he did to Thatch! Whitebeards voice was heard as he suddenly attacked Blackbeard. Blackbeards Yami-Yami No Mi is indeed the nemesis of all Devil Fruit abilities, but it is only the nemesis of fruit abilities, and it is not useful for pure body attacks and Haki. In a few attacks, Whitebeard understood Blackbeards ability and immediately cut Blackbeards chest with his Bisento, knocking him to the ground. At the peak of his power, Whitebeard wouldnt even have to rely on the ability of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), he would have been able to kill Blackbeard just by using his Haki and Physical attacks. But. Blackbeards side is not limited to Blackbeard alone. There are many pirates behind him and many of them have a bounty of 400 Million or more than 500 Million Berries. At the order of Blackbeard, they finally came together and attacked Whitebeard. About time. Standing at the very top of the Marine fortress, Ross saw this scene and finally murmured slowly, dispersing the space distortion barrier. Nami noticed that something seemed to have changed around her and couldnt help looking at Ross. Im going to send Whitebeard on his next adventure. Ross stepped forward. Nami hesitated for a moment and was about to ask What about me, but she heard Rosss words. You stay here and dont move. I guarantee that you would leave Marine Headquarters without a scratch on you. Ross didnt look back and said casually: If you die here, I wouldnt be able to get back the interest of saving you for so many times. CHAPTER 430 QUALIFICATIONS Cough cough! Damn monster, bastard, why dont you die quietly! Blackbeard received a shock from Whitebeard and spewed out blood from his mouth, but his body was very strong and tough, just like cowhide. In addition to the special abilities of the dark fruit, Blackbeard managed to withstand a blow from Whitebeard without being seriously injured and dying. However, he did not dare to fight Whitebeard again and Whitebeards performance at this moment had already exceeded the common sense, any one of Whitebeards wounds are enough to cause ordinary people to die on the spot but Whitebeard is still standing and he is still fighting! Indeed, he is a monster! Kill him! Under Blackbeards roar, the pirates behind him pulled out their guns and swords and swarmed toward Whitebeard and attacked him. But before their attack fell, a buzzing sound suddenly came from above them. Buzz! They saw that the air directly in front of Whitebeard suddenly showed Distortion. No matter whether it was a bullet or a sword, it could not pass through this Distortion form. This is The expressions on Blackbeards face froze. Many people in the Blackbeard Pirates also stopped and their expressions froze. Fleet Admiral Sengoku together with Marine Admirals were stunned at this moment and they looked at the area where Whitebeard was. Cant watch it anymore. In the silence, Rosss figure appeared from behind the collapsed scaffold. He wore a black cloak and with short black hair and ordinary clothes, he came over step by step. The entire battlefield was silent and everyone stopped! After all, he is the man I confronted, its really unsightly for him to be so humiliated before leaving. Ross walked slowly and spoke. There was a lot of cold sweat on the nearby Marine forehead and no one dared to stop him and even many people subconsciously backed away. Even if Ross did not show any momentum and did not release the Haoshoku Haki, but in this battlefield, his figure came step by step, but still like an unreachable peak, daunting! This is the deterrent effect of the Worlds Strongest name! Ghost Hand Blackbeard looked at Ross who was coming and his face became ugly. He didnt expect Ross to appear here. In his plan, before capturing Whitebeards Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), he had no plans to fight Ross at all. When Ross fought against Whitebeard, he was still a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. He had witnessed their battle with his own eyes and he also knew the terrifying strength of Ross. Compared to the aging Whitebeard, Ross is in his prime and peak! Even if he did get the power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), he would need a long time to deal with Ross, and at present, he does not want to fight Ross at all! Ross ignored Blackbeard and the Blackbeard Pirates. He raised his head and looked up at Whitebeard, standing there covered in blood. Ive come to see you off, Whitebeard. Whitebeard was silent for a few seconds and said slowly: Thanks for the previous thing. If Ross hadnt made a quiet move to stop Squards shot, he probably wouldnt have been able to save the Ace today, but unfortunately, he was leaving, and there was no way to repay Ross. It was a pity for Whitebeard to say that he owed him favor before he left. No thanks needed. Ross smiled and said, Your fight is opening the door to a new era, and Im the beneficiary. Whitebeard knew that Ross was right and the obsession in his heart gradually dissipated. Ill take your last contribution and as for Blackbeard, Ill take care of him. Ross looks at Whitebeard while taking out the Cursed Blade Murasame and uttering a word that many people find inscrutable. Buzz!! They saw the Cursed Blade Murasame in Rosss hand radiate a ray of light and entered Whitebeards body and interweaved with Whitebeards soul, sending this ray of soul to the sky. The era of Whitebeard, Edward Newgate concludes! At the same time, a familiar beep sounded in Ross ear. Whitebeard Edward Newgate is dead, and you get 50 Talent Proficiency Points. Ross calmly summoned the Talent System Interface and placed these 50 Talent Proficiency points on the Distortion fruit, bringing the power of distortion to 950 points, and also on the verge of the limit his body can currently bear. Then he turned his head and looked towards Blackbeard. Blackbeard was wondering how he could find a way to take Whitebeards power away from Ross when he appeared, but the last words uttered by Ross to Whitebeard left him feeling vaguely ominous. Hey, Ghost Hand, there is no hatred between you and me Blackbeard apparently did not want to confront Ross at this time and he could not help but lower his voice, saying: Whitebeard is dead, Marines are our enemy, let us join forces to destroy Marines first? Hearing Blackbeards words, Sengokus face suddenly changed. Ross appeared on the battlefield of the war. He had actually expected it. After all, Ross appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago a few days ago. The secretly arranged Momousagi, Tokikake, and other Battle forces were prepared for dealing with Ross, as for the Ghost Hand Pirates Marines and the Government were keeping an eye at them, making sure that the Ghost Hand Pirates remained in Totto Land and in the Country of Peace. That is to say. Ross was alone here and they had nothing to be worried about. However, if Ross and Blackbeard join forces, the problem will be serious. Marine Headquarters will face Ross, the Whitebeard Pirates Remnant Party, and the Blackbeard Pirate Regiment at the same time, and they will fall into a great crisis and may be destroyed in reverse! How is it, Ghost Hand? Blackbeard opened his hands and spoke to Ross. In fact, he was a little anxious in his heart. If he didnt quickly use his ability on Whitebeards body and strip off the power of Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), he wouldnt get it. Destroying Marine Headquarters, this proposal is very good, I happen to have this plan. Ross looked at Blackbeard and spoke slowly. The words made Blackbeard grin and he showed a smile and it also made Sengoku and others look pale. But then, Rosss next sentence froze the expressions on Blackbeards face. But, You what qualifications does a traitor of Whitebeard Pirates have to join me. This sentence is very simple and Rosss tone is also very proud, but when he spoke, there was no discomfort in his tone. Thats right. Ross is the strongest in the world, he was once the head of Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates and Blackbeard is just a traitor of Whitebeard Pirates. On the status of strength, why should Ross join forces with him? CHAPTER 431 CRUSH The expressions on Blackbeards face solidified and became a little ugly, but at the next moment, he opened his arms slightly and grinned: Bahahahahaha, it seems that I am getting underestimated. You are the man who took the worlds strongest title from Whitebeard. You are indeed very powerful, but the power I have gained is also Bang! Before he could finish speaking, Ross already waved his hand and a surging power of distortion suddenly burst out in the void, distorting the empty space in front of him and bluntly struck Blackbeard. Upon seeing this, Blackbeard yelled and suddenly released the power of the Yami-Yami No Mi, absorbing the power of distortion that had rushed towards him. But. To his horror, the intensity of the power of distortion burst out from Rosss understatement exceeded his expectations! The Yami Fruit can make all the power of Devil Fruit into nothingness, but it also has its limits. It is not that any ordinary person who gets the Dark Fruit can completely swallow the power of Whitebeards shock! Rosss power of distortion now is still above the shock power of Whitebeard during his peak period. It is not something that the Yami(Dark) fruit of Blackbeard can completely absorb! Bang! Blackbeards face changed drastically and he was pushed backward by the power of distortion. The members of the Blackbeard Pirates behind him saw this scene and all of their expressions changed as the distortion power headed towards them and they all tried to resist it by using Armament Haki. But even if everyone joined forces to resist, they still werent able to resist Rosss attack. The unbridled impact of the power of distortion shattered the ground directly in front of Ross, which also caused Blackbeard and others to scream and fly backward in all directions. Just one hit. It just took one hit to defeat all members of the Blackbeard Pirates! At this moment, Ross showed the power that silenced the entire battlefield, countless Marine and pirates were stunned. In the Blackbeard Pirates, Blackbeard himself is a Shichibukai, and everyone else is a murderous pirate with a high bounty and power on the sea. Even on the War of the Best battlefield, they are a huge battle force, but it only took a single attack from Ross to completly defeat them and it looked like Ross wasnt even trying! This is the strength of the strongest man in the world! That guy is too strong. At the very top of the Marine Fortress, Nami used her arm to block the stormy wind, and when she opened her eyes again to look at the battlefield, there was a little shock in the depths of her eyes. Luffy, Zoro, and others who had evacuated to the outside of the battlefield looked at this scene with stunned silence. The further they went into the depths of the Grand Line, the more they can realize the name of Ghost Hand, which represents a terrifying existence! In East Blue. They only knew that Ross is the strongest in the world, but they did not understand what this concept means. In the Sky island, they saw Ross hit Enel with a single blow and his power was shocking, but compared with a Marine Admiral that they later encountered, it seems that it is not much different. But on the huge battlefield of the War Of The Best, the power that Ross shows, once again refresh the name of the worlds strongest, the meaning that it stands for! It was not that Rosss power was only at that level. Rather the stage was not big enough! Without a large enough stage and no suitable opponent, it is impossible to show the level of strength he posses, but here on the battlefield of the War Of The Best, this is the huge stage that can truly show Rosss strength! Cough, cough Monster. Blackbeard struggled to get up from the ruins, his face was extremely ugly. He knew that it was too late to go to Whitebeards body at this time. He gritted his teeth and was extremely decisive at the moment. He reached his subordinates and planned to withdraw directly. But even if he wanted to withdraw, Ross didnt plan to let him go. Everyone saw Ross standing a hundred meters away and taking a calm step, and his figure disappeared. When he appeared again, he came directly in front of Blackbeard! He folded his five fingers in his right hand and punched Blackbeard. Kurouzu(Dark Water)! When Blackbeard saw this scene, a flash of cold light flashed in his eyes and he roared. He reached out with his palm and grabbed Rosss fist, fully stimulating the power of the Dark fruit. Under his overwork, the dark fruit barely eroded the power of distortion, turning the power of distortion into nothing. But. Rosss face did not change and he continue to punch forward. It is the Dark Fruits ability to absorb or nullify any other Devil Fruit abilities. But the current Rosss body and Haki are all comparable to the Hundred Beast Kaido! Buzz! Blackbeard absorbed the power of distortion, and there was a hint of joy on his face, but this hint of joy did not expand and it immediately solidified, he only felt a terrifying force coming from the arm coming towards him. This is not the power of a Devil Fruit, but the power of pure flesh and pure Armament Haki, reaching the limits of Armament Haki! Yes. Ross didnt use Free Talent Points onto his Armament Haki to develop the True Damage characteristic, but with his continuous training and the final battle against Kaido, it was completely awakened and reached the highest level! Bang! Under Rosss attack, Blackbeards arm almost got broken and he flew backward. Under Rosss punch, he flew nearly by half a square directly and smashed into the rubble! Captain! How come Many of the Blackbeards crew struggled to get up and when they saw this scene, the expressions on their faces stilled and shock appeared on them and there was a trace of fear in their eyes. They knew that Ross was very strong, but they also knew Blackbeards strength. With the Dark Fruit, all other Devil Fruit abilities would be greatly restricted in front of Blackbeard, otherwise, they would not be willing to follow Blackbeard. But. Even if he absorbed Rosss devil fruit ability with the Dark fruit, he was still punched around and flew back for nearly half the square with a punch of pure physical strength, Rosss strength was too strong and outrageous! Distortion Collapse. Instead of chasing after Blackbeard, Ross turned his head to look at the Blackbeard Pirates and grabbed them remotely. Buzz! The power of distortion oscillated and the area of ??a few hundred meters in a circle suddenly turned into a vortex visible to the naked eye and began to roll out. The expressions on the faces of the numerous Blackbeard Pirates changed and each of them exerts their abilities to try and break free from the vortex, but no matter how much they struggle, it was difficult for them to break free! Wrapped in that vortex, their center of gravity shifted and they all were caught in the center by the vortex. Boom! Boom! Boom! Their Armament Haki was like a paper in front of the vortex and it was crushed and smashed in an instant while the pirates with 500 Million or more bounties were like a soft persimmon, they were crushed by the vortex one by one and turned into blood and bone fragments, and then completely smashed into a pulp. When the vortex dissipated, the nine underlings of Blackbeard were all dead! Whiz! Ross stepped out again and reached across the square and rushed towards Blackbeard, who was about to get up and kicked him. Blackbeard roared wildly while inspiring the power of the Dark fruits to the limit, his figure swaying in the darkness, he gritted his teeth against Rosss power, but Rosss foot was like a collapsed giant peak, which could not be blocked by human power and one can only wait for that peak to step upon them. The darkness is embedded little by little. Finally. The darkness released by Blackbeard, like a black tympanic membrane, shattered by Rosss stepping on it, and the power of distortion was poured into the ground. Under the violent power of distortion, even though Blackbeards body was strong, it burst into a bloody mist in the blink of an eye. Kch! Kch! The power of distortion killed Blackbeard and then poured into the earth. Under the shock and horror of countless people, the entire Marine Headquarters centered on this point began to crack like a spider web, spreading in all directions! In a matter of minutes, from Rosss aggressive action to the present, the whole field of battle had changed. Blackbeard Pirates died! Marine Headquarters was crashed! Chapter 432 War Declaration As the Blackbeard Pirates collapsed, the stone in Sengokus heart fell to the ground. Go after the Whitebeard pirates with all your might. Dont let any pirate escape! Sengoku clenched his fists and ordered quietly while staring at Ross, he was ready to fight. His biggest worry was that Ross and Blackbeard team-up, which, together with the Whitebeard Pirates could really bring Marine Headquarters into crisis. But now. The Blackbeard Pirates has been killed, even though Rosss personal strength is almost beyond Whitebeard at his peak of that year, but with only one person, he wont be able to do much of anything in this battlefield. Even Sengoku was wondering what he could do to get Ross to stay at the Marine Headquarters permanently. Once they defeat Ross, no matter how strong his pirate group is, they will be destroyed! By then, there will be only one Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates left in the sea and the Great Age of Pirates would come to an end, Marines and the Government will make sure of that and the World Government and Marine will be firmly established in the whole world. Even if the Revolutionary Army is doubled in their strength, it is impossible for them to set off a storm. The Blackbeard Pirates are destroyed The war is over. Many people who watched the scenes of Marine Headquarters through the image of Den Den Mushi gradually recovered from the shock and couldnt help but mumble. The emergence of Blackbeard was a big event, and the appearance of Ross was even bigger, but Ross killed Blackbeard and the war should end here unless the Ghost Hand Pirates comes here to fight against the Marines, Otherwise, Marines victory should be set in stone. Although Fire Fist Ace was rescued, Whitebeard fell on this battlefield, and the entire Whitebeard pirate regiment suffered heavy casualties. In any case, Marines won. Now. On the battlefield of the War Of The Best, the Division Captains of the Whitebeard Pirates watched as Ross wipe out the Blackbeard Pirates and killed Blackbeard and Marco and others showed an understanding and complex expression in their eyes. Ghost Hand Ace looked at Rosss direction from afar, and for a while, his emotions were in turmoil. Although Whitebeard died, Ross undoubtedly protected Whitebeard from humiliation before death and also wiped out the Blackbeard Pirates. This is a kind of favor that is difficult to get rid of for the entire Whitebeard pirate regiment. In this sea, especially the Whitebeardpirate regiment, it is the most respectful of favor. After this battle. Even if they will not join the Ghost Hand Pirates, they can no longer stand opposite to them. Many people have already raised the idea of ??exiting this era. Anyway, this era has already belonged to Ross, they cant stop it, and now there is no reason for them to stop it. If they dont join, they will just wait and see. But. At this time, it is not time to consider these issues. The Admirals of Marine Headquarters are still chasing them. In addition, Aokiji directly froze the sea and their ships. It is not easy for them to evacuate in a short time. The battle is still going on and blood and death are everywhere. And in this fierce battlefield, in the middle of the cracked square, Ross figure slowly flew out of the huge crack and came into the air. What is he going to do? A lot of people looked up at Ross with a trace of doubt in their hearts. Ross flew into the air like this, under the gaze of countless people, Rosss figure stopped in the sky as he looked at the entire Marine Headquarters, his black cloak trembling constantly in the sea breeze. You Marine defined me as a pirate for the sake of face. Remember what I said, I said that you will remember what you did that day because your decision will affect the entire world. Rosss words spread calmly and reverberated clearly on the whole island, which made the movements of countless people stop. Marine Admiral and Sengoku, Garp, stopped and watched him. Everyones expression was gloomy, serious, or indifferent. Justice is written by the victor and defined by the strongest This world is ruled by the World Government. You have the power to say who is a pirate and who is your friend. I have a question now, Sengoku, my title of being a pirate, would you be taking that off now? Ross looked at the direction of Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku and spoke calmly. Sengoku looked at his face. The scenes of this moment were all broadcast to the whole world. He knew this very well and his eyes showed seriousness and solemnity: How can a pirate be forgiven? Even if you killed the Blackbeard Pirates, it cant make up for the crimes you did! Well. Ross smiled slightly as if he knew that Sengoku was going to answer in that way. He stood in the sky while overlooking the Marine Headquarters and said: Then, the war begins here. I, Ghost Hand Ross, the ruler of Totto Land Sea, here, at this moment, declare war on the Marines and the World Government There was no need for any harsh tone and no need for any domineering words, this simple sentence was said in a flat narrative tone but it caused the Marine Headquarters to fall in silence. Through the image of Den Den Mushi, countless people who watched this scene were also stunned at this moment and their minds suddenly become blank. Declare war! This is a declaration of war on the World Government that has ruled the world for 800 years! The Ghost Hand Pirates, which has been dubbed as pirates since the beginning, completely opened its fangs in the eyes of the whole world. Its target is not Yonko (Four Emperor), nor the Pirate King, but The whole world ! From this moment on, the definition of pirate to describe Ross and Totto Land has become somewhat inadequate. Whatever the final result of Totto Lands declaration of war on the World Government is, at this moment, it represents the struggle between two huge regimes for the domination of the World! At this moment. Whether it is Sengoku or Aokiji, the expression on their faces changes drastically. Are you serious?! Ghost hand! Sengokus pupils shrank violently, and there was a trace of disbelief and shock on his face. He didnt expect that Ross would come here, in this battlefield of the War Of The Best to declared war on the World Government and Marines! This is a declaration of war against the World! This is really no good. Aokiji had a tinge of awe in his eyes, and he knew exactly what Ross said. You know, even the Revolutionary Army, until now, has never really declared war on the World Government, but this is what Ross did! This is really a bit scary. Kizaru also couldnt keep calm. Although his tone was still filled with his habitual insignificance, it was more of a slightly suppressed shudder. Ross lowered his head and looked calmly at Sengoku. The war has already begun. First I will have this Marine Headquarters disappear completely. CHAPTER 433 ONE VS MANY Such arrogance! Sengoku looked at Ross in the sky and tightly squeezed his fists, he gritted his teeth and anger appeared on his face as he shouted at Ross: This is an island at the heart of the world, and it means a great deal to those who fear men like you, who fear pirates, who fear for their life, this is the Marine Headquarters and hope of Justice. The name of justice will never be destroyed. Ghost hand! No. Ross opened his hands slowly and raising his lips, saying calmly: You made a mistake, this is not a challenge, nor a declaration of war, this is a notification. As his voice fell, Ross raised his arms and his fingers snapped together. Buzz! As early as when he killed Blackbeard, he had already imbued the power of distortion in the Underground. At this moment, he blatantly opened up that power and swept the entire Marine Headquarters! The earth made the overwhelming sound of kchkch as it began to collapse. If one looked at it from above the Marine Headquarters, they will find that the entire Marine Headquarters seems to be held by an invisible big hand and it seems to be twisting it. Son of a bitch!! Sengokus forehead was overflowing with blue muscles. For a time, he was irritated and angry. He roared and jumped up as the form of Buddha appeared and he punched towards Ross. The terrifying impact swept away and hit Ross in the sky, trying to knock Ross away from the sky to prevent the destruction. But. Faced with Sengokus attack, Ross just countered it with his backhand. The surging power of distortion fell and collided with the impact, making the whole sky look like a waterhole, with visible ripples swaying in all directions. The sound of Bang sounded like thunder, exploding in the ears of countless people. Bang! The power of distortion seemed to be twisted into a majestic force, and the Storokus impact on it was crushed. Sengokus huge body also fell down from the sky and broke into the square. Seeing that Sengoku could not stop Ross, Momousagi and Tokikake, who were hidden in the dark could not care about the others and turned into two lights rushing out and hitting Ross in the sky. Go! Ross didnt look at the two people but a strand of his hair fluttered up and the small Dragon Tornado wrapped around his hair appeared. The Hurricane Incarnation suddenly expanded and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a terrifying hurricane that traversed the world and it rushed towards Tokikake and Momousagi. Countless Marine Officers of Military Headquarters were swept by the huge hurricane without even a bit of resistance. Even the Rear Admiral of Headquarters and even Vice-Admirals faced with horror and barely stabilized themselves in the strong wind. What is this?! Momousagi was caught off guard as she was suddenly faced with the Hurricane that swept through and was forced to slash it with a sword. This sword turned into vast sword energy and flew out of the air. The sword energy was able to cut the Hurricane Incarnation and stop it. But. It just stopped for a moment. The Hurricane incarnation isnt a physical entity, even if her sword arts are stronger and even with the top Armament Haki, they would only consume some of the energy of the Hurricane Incarnation and wouldnt be able to destroy it. Multiple Wind Blades! In the roaring gust of wind, a depressed sound came and then the Hurricane that seems to penetrate the world. The winds inside it suddenly began to condense, and turned into countless blue shimmering wind blades and rushed out, it was like a Wind Rainstorm that was sweeping down. Momousagi and Tokikake also had to wield their weapons to defend themselves. Stop for me! Garp gritted his teeth while standing in the ruins. In the end, it was impossible for him to sit idly by. He screamed and jumped up and slammed into the Hurricane, he utilized his Armament Haki and punched Ross. But before waiting for him to approach, Rosss eyes flashed slightly. Wii! The Marine Headquarters Island, which was about to be twisted into a twist, suddenly swelled up and there appeared a huge palm that seemed to hold up the sky. This palm snapped upwards and pressed Garp directly into the palm. Bang! Garp was caught off guard and was held down by the huge palm, falling down from the sky, and slapped in the long-shattered bay. Then, the Distorted ground of Marine Headquarters stopped collapsing but began to creep up, just like a giant caught in a pit, struggling to climb out of the bottom of the pit. Under the shocking gaze of countless people. The Hell Incarnation(Enel) formed by condensing nearly half of the Marine Headquarters, swelled up to the upper body and one palm pressed Garp to the bottom. Damn! Get off me! Garp roared out with rage and swung his fist, he tore the huge rock palm apart and dashed through the crack. But before he could rush out, the other hand rushed towards him again. Logia Earthy Fruit? Damn It, how come so many powerful Battle forces Sengoku looked at Garps fight and his face couldnt help but look very ugly. The violent wind that swept the world, as well as the terrifying rock giant, were not recorded in their data of the Ghost Hand Pirates. In other words, the Ghost Hand Pirates have two more top Battle forces! No wonder Ross dares to appear alone in the Marine Headquarters! Distortion Fist! Ross stopped releasing the power of distortion on the entire island and took a step in the sky, he suddenly came directly in front of Sengoku and punched him. This punch contains Rosss full-strength. His goal was not to destroy this island, from the beginning, his goal was Sengoku himself! Marine Ford is just an island, and even if it is destroyed, Marines can find other islands to rebuild Marine Headquarters. But. If the Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku is dead, even if someone can find someone to fill the position, there will inevitably be a huge Battle force gap! Sensing the power of Rosss punch, Sengokus face changed drastically, but at this moment he couldnt avoid it at all, because Rosss Distortion Fist is the same as Whitebeards Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) and it hits a large area and cannot be avoided in close range. Buzz! CHAPTER 434 HEAVY LOSSES PART 1 In this critical situation, Sengoku roared and fully excited his own strength. The power of the Buddha form was exerted to the limit and Armament Haki also covered his entire body as he pushed his palms forward to maximize the shock wave. Bang! This collision, the power that erupted, can be described as shaking earth and heavens. In just a moment, the swaying waves made all the Marines spurting blood out of their mouths and they flew backward, including Headquarters generals! In this collision, the land between Ross and Sengoku suddenly split into a terrifying abyss, dividing the entire Marine Headquarters in two, and the seawater also poured back, forming a river that runs through the island. ! In this collision. Sengokus impact is ultimately unable to withstand Rosss power of distortion. Rosss power of distortion has already reached as much as 950 points and the power is even more terrifying than that of the peak Whitebeard. Even if Sengoku goes all out, he alone wont be able to resist it! Puff! The shock wave was destroyed and the Armament Haki was also broken, the power of distortion hit the body of the big Buddha and Sengoku was slammed back and he reverted to his human form from the form of the big Buddha. He flew backward and spat out blood and collapsed into the ruins. Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Seeing that Sengoku was hit by Rosss attack and flew back and it was also a full-frontal attack from Ross, countless Marines on the battlefield couldnt help but show horror and worry in their expressions. They wanted to come forward to support their Fleet Admiral but the average Marine cant even survive the Hurricane Incarnation. The Earth Giant and the Hurricane Incarnation that stands between the sky and the earth, one soil and one wind, are like two gods standing there, their heights are much higher than the fortress of Marine Headquarters, even the Vice-Admirals of Marine Headquarters are finding it difficult to deal with them not to mention the average Marine soldiers. The Admirals Aokiji, Kizaru, Akainu, and other soldiers are chasing the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirate regiment. They had thought that there was only Ross in the back and the remaining people would not have any hard time in dealing with him but no one could have thought that Ross would be bringing the Hell and the Hurricane Incarnation and the Marines were concentrating on the Whitebeard pirate regiment as they fought and retreated from the Marine Headquarters! Sakura Feather Cut! Seeing that the situation was critical, Momousagi roared while holding the hilt of her sword in both hands and she suddenly used Gepp (Moonwalk) to move towards the sky and she waved the blade in her hand, the sword energy bloomed like a cherry blossom and a feather-shaped sword energy appeared and rushed toward the Hurricane Incarnation and cut the Hurricane Incarnation into blocks. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tokikake bypassed the Hurricane Incarnation, and because of the distance between him and Ross, he could only use his guns to fire two shots towards Ross. But. Although he has the Future Prediction, the highest form of Observation Haki, Ross can also use Future Prediction and he is constantly utilizing Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki and he can sense everything above him! In addition, Rosss Armament Haki and his physical strength have reached an alarming level. His Armament Haki is comparable to Garp and his physical strength is comparable to Kaido. Whiz! Faced with Tokikakes condensed bullets covered with Dark Armament Haki, Ross did not shy away or ignored them at all and continued to charge towards Sengoku. Three bullets were shot on Ross chest, and the dark Armament Haki appeared at three positions on Ross chest. These three positions happened to be the three positions that were shot at. Qing! Qing! Qing! The three bullets fell to the ground after sparking on Rosss body as if they had shot into a steel wall, Rosss skin just sunk a little and nothing else happened to him! What in the name of Tokikake looked at this scene and his face revealed a horrified look. Because Rosss Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki is stronger than his, he can only predict Rosss dodge or evade action but because both parties have Future Prediction ability, that is, they can change what will happen, the ability of Future Prediction can be seen as a mutual offset because they all participate in the future change that will happen. But what he didnt expect was that Ross Armament Haki and his flesh being so powerful that they directly ignored his attacks ad it looked like his bullet has smashed against a steel wall! Cough Sengoku was again sent flying backward by Rosss attack and smashed into the building behind the Marine Headquarters. He coughed in the ruins while covering his chest with one hand. He sensed Ross rushing over and was forced to grind his teeth to get up again to defend himself. The golden Buddha exuding a golden light and punched towards the rushing Ross. Ross also punched back. Bang! Between the punches, Sengoku was once again flown out by Rosss punch. If the previous attacks can be explained by Sengokus carelessness, then this blow has already shown the hard truth to everyone present. Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku is not Rosss opponent! There is a large gap between his and Rosss strength! The situation is not good. Tokikake saw the situation turn sharply and rushed over to try to help, but before he could approach, Ross punched back towards him and the power of distortion rushed towards him. Because both parties have Future Prediction ability, the future they see will not happen because they will change it and the illusion of being rewritten is equivalent to the ability itself getting canceled. Faced with this attack, Tokikake could barely avoid the front area and folded his arms in front of him to resist it but his figure was still pushed backe=wards as he flew back. Boom! He shattered several buildings in the back and eventually stopped on another. Rosss current strength has reached a terrifying level, Tokikake is a bit worse than Aokiji Akainu and Kizaru in terms of strength as he has not eaten a Devil Fruit, that is to say, that at this point in time, he no longer has the qualification to fight against Ross. Ross is almost completely immune to Tokikakes attack, and he can send him flying back with a single attack. Whether it is the two common types of Haki or Physique and strength, Ross suppressed him in all directions and it is a suppression of more than just one grade. How can he even fight against him?! And. CHAPTER 435 INVINCIBLE They know that Ross has already declared war on the World Government and the Marines under the eyes of the whole world! In this case, if Ross also killed the Marine Fleet Admiral in Marine Headquarters, the momentum of Totto Land might expand to an unprecedented level! At that time, I am afraid that there will be signs of response from all over the world. Those countries that have not joined the World Government will likely become Totto Lands subordinates, or even join the World Government. Eight Shaku Curved Jewel (Yasakani no Magatama)! Kizaru was the first to give up on chasing the Whitebeard pirates. His figure turned into a golden light and he suddenly appeared on top of Ross. An Eight Shaku Curved Jewel (Yasakani no Magatama) smashed towards Ross, trying to stop Ross from continuing to pursue Sengoku. But in the face of Kizarus attack, Ross just raised his hand. Bang! With one punch, the entire void was filled with Distortion and as if this fist could smash the sky, it rose into the sky. In a flash, all the lasers in the sky exploded and they looked like countless fireworks launching in the sky and the scene was huge and shocking. Rosss distortion punch reached Kizaru and he had a bad feeling in his heart as he tried to avoid it with his speed but he found that he had no time to avoid it. Boom! Kizarus body was hit by Rosss attack and his entire body burst into a golden light as he flew higher towards the sky. Ross kept walking and rushed towards Sengoku. After one step, he came to Sengokus front and punched him again. The Fleet This is not good! Quickly stop Ghost Hand! Seeing this scene, all the Marines finally panicked as no one would have thought that Rosss strength was so fierce to this extent. With his own strength, he defeated Sengoku, Tokikake, and Kizaru. In this battlefield, there is no one who can stop him! ICE Frozen! Aokiji noticed that the situation in the rear had turned sharply and there was a trace of horror and fear in his eyes. He couldnt help but give up the pursuit of the Whitebeard Pirates and turned back. Before he rushed over, his Devil Fruit ability was fully stimulated, and two streams of ice froze directly towards Ross. Faced with Aokijis obstruction, Rosss response was still a punch. Kch! Kch! Under Rosss punch, the fragmented square was once again torn apart as if it was hit by a meteorite. The ice released by Aokiji was also broken by the violent power of distortion in an instant. This power of distortion swept by unstoppably and enveloped Aokiji in it, directly breaking him into countless pieces of ice that flew to the ground of Marine Headquarters! Admiral Aokiji ! How is it possible, even Admiral Aokiji When the nearby Marine saw this scene, the horror on his face had reached an unprecedented level. If they didnt see it with their own eyes, they wouldnt believe that the highest Battle Power of their Marine Headquarters, the Admirals will be defeated by a single punch! This is no longer a simple difference between strength and weakness, but a gap in levels! Two punches. Two Marine Admirals were blown back and up! Ross ignored Aokiji and Kizaru and again charged into Sengoku. There was no fierce expression on his face and his face was filled with calm and indifference. Marine Fleet Admiral will definitely die today and no one can stop it! Akainu saw that the situation in the rear was not good and that he was the only one left who was still in the pursuit of the Pirates. It was difficult for him to continue to pursue the Whitebeard Pirates. He could only grit his teeth and rush back to return. He held his fist and the magma surged wildly, like a volcanic eruption, washing the broken square and hitting Ross. Bang! Responding to him is still a punch of Ross. Under Rosss punch, the magma completely exploded, splashing in all directions and the surging power of distortion swept through everything. Even if Akainu was already prepared and resisted with all his strength, he still couldnt completly protect himself! Ahhhhhh! The Power of distortion hit Akainu on his body, splashing the magma by his body, and eventually, his entire figure turned into magma and collapsed and he was blown out of the island! Ross walked towards Sengoku again. At this moment, on the entire battlefield, all eyes are almost concentrated on Ross, whether it is Nami and others, or the Whitebeard pirates, or the Vice-Admiral, Rear Admirals of Marine Headquarters, their eyes are surprisingly consistent and they all focused on just one figure. Their eyes were filled with one thing: Shock! No one can stop the power of one punch! Looking at the whole sea, who has the power to defeat a Marine Admiral in one move? Looking at the 800-year history after the establishment of the World Government, who can run wild in the Marine Headquarters?! Fleet Admiral Sengoku isnt even able to defend himself, The three Marine Admirals were blown up, back, and out by a single punch and Ross appeared calm during all of this, there is no fierce momentum, but at this moment, Ross is like a black cloud suppressing everything below, giving rise to desperate and helplessness emotions in their heart! Under the trembling and terrified gaze of countless people, Ross walked to Sengoku and punched him again. Sengoku has already taken a breather and recovered a little after Ross was blocked by Kizaru Aokiji and others for a moment, while Ross attacked Aokiji and others in a row, he was able to control his own breathing. But. Faced with Rosss fist, Sengoku was still unable to resist it and he flew back while vomiting blood. This is too On the head of the rock and earth giant, Nami, who was in a small pit, looked at Ross wearing a black cloak and sweeping the entire Marine Headquarters battlefield. Her mind had already become blank. Even in the East Blue or in Sky Island, everything she experienced was not so shocking as this current scene was. The more the status of the promotion, the more the strength of the improvement, the more clear the seas most elite forces, such as Aokiji and other Marine Admirals and any one of them is enough to nit just defeat but crush a country or their pirate group. But now. In the face of Ross, these Marine Admirals, who were almost invincible in her eyes got crushed one by one with a single punch. This is the real and pinnacle of power in this world! No one can interfere or stop him. Unstoppable. Even in this Marine Headquarters, there are no places that he cannot reach and there is no one who he fears, there are none of them, none of them exist who can stop him. Ama no Murakumo no Tsurugi (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven)! Ice Age! Aokiji and Kizaru had blood on the corners of their mouths but they still rushed back towards the battlefield. They both attacked Rosss back at the same time. But Ross ignored their attacks and continued on to Sengoku. The golden blade and the frozen land were all contained behind Ross, unable to break through the space of Distortion. Standing in the Marine Headquarters, countless top combat powers were helpless and the one making them feel such is taking a leisurely walk. At this moment, The Strongest In The Word is not enough to define Ross. Another word has appeared in everyones mind. Invincible. Invincible!! Chapter 436 Sengoku’s Death Kizaru and Aokiji couldnt help but see their respective attacks being ineffective, but neither of them stopped their attacks and continued to maintain their attacks by clenching their teeth. They know that Ross has the ability to control and use Space, which can neutralize almost all attacks, but at the same time, Ross cant launch an attack as it is equivalent to his body being in another space, he cant be attacked and he cant attack others. But. When Kizaru and Aokiji gritted their teeth and continue to attack to stop Ross, a figure flew by their side, kicking Aokijis waist and kicking him out. The figure was covered with blue flames, it was Undead Marco. Undead Marco Do you guys want To die? Vice-Admirals of the Marine Headquarters were taken aback and couldnt help but scream. Marco sneered and said: No way, we are the Whitebeard Pirates, we dont like to owe others any favor? Since Ghost Hand wants to destroy you Marines, then we would be helping him! Thats right. Flower Sword Vista slashed towards Kizaru, forcing Kizaru to terminate his attack on Ross and said: Ghost Hand Ross killed that bastard, Blackbeard, we owed him. If we dont pay it back soon, we wouldnt be able to sleep. Both Aokiji and Kizarus faces are difficult to look at, but at this time, they cant allow themselves to think about anything and they can only accept the current situation and try their best to stop Ross and now the Whitebeard Pirates. For a time, the golden light spread across the sky, and it was frozen for thousands of miles. Oh! Marco roared and his body got engulfed in blue flame and rushed towards Kizaru, Flower Sword Vista, Fire Fist Ace, and others also rushed towards to help. The Whitebeard Pirates Division Captains and Aokiji Kizaru fought once again. And at the same time. On the other side, Sengoku has fallen into the most critical situation in his life, even if Akainu has rushed to assist him but because he has been seriously injured, even if the two of them work together, it would be difficult for then to resist Rosss offensive! Bang! Bang! Bang! Rosss every punch caused the lava to splash everywhere and the ground that he hit began to broke apart, sending Sengoku backward. Ross was wearing a black cloak and with a pair of fists, he faced Sengoku and Akainu and he was overpowering them with ease. Ryusei Kazan (Meteor Volcano)! Akainu yelled loudly and the magma on half of his body surged wildly. At this time, he could not control the attack range and immediately urged his power to the maximum, striking it towards Ross. Now that the entire Marine Headquarters has been destroyed, it doesnt matter how much damage he will cause. Bang! Facing Akainus attack was again a simple punch. This punch was slammed into the magma that seemed like a volcanic eruption and like a rock spurting a thousand waves, it turned the vast magma into a vortex of Distortion, and then it broke apart. Immediately after Rosss attack wave, a wave of power of distortion collided with the shock wave from Sengoku in the Void and visible ripple appeared in the empty space and annihilated each other. Bang! Ross didnt directly pursue Sengoku, but this time he suddenly turned around and punched in the direction of Akainu and the powerful explosion of power swept through. Akainus condition is not much better than Sengoku. In the Battle with Whitebeard before, he was already close to being seriously injured, and then he suffered a blow from Ross. His condition is comparable to Sengoku and he is barely standing. This bastard how could this be Faced with Rosss punch, Akainu gritted his teeth and punched back hard, but his attack seemed to be like an ant in front of a car, Akainu only felt a strong strength that he could not resist. It is like a bulldozer rolling forward, no matter how strong the man is, he can only be pushed back by the bulldozer and he cant fight against it. Akainu gritted his teeth and his eyes were filled with unwillingness. Why. A West Blue pirate, a Pirate Hunter who becomes a pirate halfway. How could Ross reach such strength that he even overshadowed Whitebeard and he himself couldnt do anything against him? His heart was filled with unwillingness but it was impossible to make up for the gap in strength between him and Ross even if he felt resentful inside. In a stalemate of less than a second, he was completely disintegrated by Rosss attack and turned into a wriggling magma flying backward. Akainu! Sengoku saw Akainu flying back and his face changed abruptly, he saw Ross turning his head to look at him and a bad feeling rose in his heart. Ross punched Akainu and caused him to fly backward. After temporarily losing the other opponent, he looked at Sengoku and raised his foot to step out and he suddenly charged into Sengoku. Bang! The punch fell and the ground under Sengokus feet shattered into slag. Another punch fell, and the form of Sengokus Great Buddha has broken apart and half of his body was embedded in Underground. At this moment, Sengokus heart was filled with regret as he looked at Rosss figure standing in front of him. Why. Why didnt he kill Ross earlier? Why didnt he just kill him when they caught him, why did he imprison him in Impel Down? When Ross was weak, there were obviously so many opportunities to get rid of him, which could have avoided todays situation, but they missed those opportunities one by one. In the end, Ross completely grew up and became such a terrifying mountain now, even more terrifying than Whitebeard at his peak time! The original Whitebeard stood on top of the New World with his own strength and it was difficult for the Marines to destroy his pirate forces. You know, when the Great Age of Pirates just started, there was no Yonk (Four Emperors), but even at that time, Whitebeard stood at the peak and Marines could not take him down. Now, Ross is even more powerful than Whitebeard. Whitebeard only has the ability to defend and can make Marine unable to kill him, but Ross can in turn, occupy the dominant position and he has the strength and ability to beat Marines.! Sengoku! When Garp saw Sengoku in a dangerous situation, he shouted anxiously and punched furiously, breaking half body of the giant of the rock and earth and charged towards Ross. But at this time, Sengoku had fallen into a state of dying, he completely lost his Battle powers and half of his body is embedded in the earth and he has lost the ability to even move. Faced with Garps support, Ross punched blankly. Bang! Fist to fist. Garps Armament Haki, which stands at the pinnacle of the sea, is even a little stronger than Ross at this moment. In terms of pure power, he is also stronger than Ross, but all this vast and river-like unstoppable power was washed away in front of Rosss distortion. Power of distortion, with its ability to tear through everything, defeats Garps Armament Haki and dispersed Garps power and Garp staggers back. Not even Garp can stop Ross punch! No. It should be said that only Garp did not fly out directly after receiving a punch from Ross! Farewell, Sengoku. Ross punched Garp back with his punch and turned his head to look at Sengoku, his eyes were filled with indifference as he raised his feet and spoke gently. Although in the beginning, Sengoku may not have known about his affairs but later on, Sengoku must have known everything, and every pursuit of him must have been ordered by Fleet Admiral, the most powerful Marine. He made his decision then and now he has to suffer the consequences. With so many people staring in horror, fear, and pale faces, in the battle situation where Garp roared and Akainu was terrified, but they were too late to stop him and Rosss foot fell. The twenty-Second year of the Great Age of Pirates, Marine Headquarters Marin Fortress, in the War Of The Best, Marines current Fleet Admiral, the highest decision-maker Sengoku the Buddha Died while fighting! CHAPTER 437 CHASING Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Mr. Sengoku! The entire Marine Headquarters suddenly fell silent at this moment. Countless people stopped their movements and even some surviving Marines could not help but hug their heads at this moment, and their fighting intentions almost collapsed. Fleet Admiral Sengoku actually died in hands of Ghost Hand Ross, he was killed in the Marine Headquarters! What has the world come to be. All over the world at this moment, the people who watched this scene through rebroadcasting are stunned and murmured. Some people are scared, some are excited, and others are at a loss. People are fearful, they are feeling fear towards Ghost Hand Pirates. People who are excited are the people who were deeply oppressed by the World Government and they finally saw a light in overwhelming darkness. The people who are dazed do not know what to do. If the previous declaration of Ross was just a verbal declaration, then under the attention of countless people, beating and killing the Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku is the start of a real war! And. Ross killed the Marine Fleet Admiral in the Marine Headquarters. Rosss strength has already been fully demonstrated. There is no doubt that todays Ross and Totto Land are indeed the most likely to overthrow the World Government rule and establish a new dynasty in these 800 years! His movements are too fast. Somewhere in the White Citytown, Revolutionary Armys Leader Dragon was also looking at the scene of Marine Headquarters through the screen and he could not help shaking his head slowly. His goal is also to overthrow the World Government, but todays Revolutionary Army and Totto Land are too different. And. Rosss purpose is obviously not just to overthrow the World Government, but to conquer the world and replace the World Government and establish a new government. Under such circumstances, the Revolutionary Army, where should they go? With Totto Lands current power, even if he negotiates with Ross and tries to join forces with Totto Land against the World Government, the other party may not agree. And if the World Government is really overthrown, the Revolutionary Army will be in an extremely awkward position and will become the enemy of the new World Government Totto Land. Too strong. The orange-haired girl Koala stood beside Dragon, watching Ross kill Marine Fleet Admiral and standing on the ruins. Her eyes flashed with shock. She had a hunch that maybe the World Government would really be overthrown, but not by their Revolutionary Army, but by Ross and Totto Land! Marine Headquarters. Sengoku Dead. The Division Captains of the Whitebeard Pirates such as Marco, and Admirals such as Aokiji have already dropped their hands to their side and looked at this scene from afar. However, the sound caused by Sengokus death is not very big, because Whitebeard has also fallen here. As Fleet Admiral Sengoku was from the same era as Whitebeard, it is not a big deal to die in this Marine Headquarters. Next, its your turn. Under countless peoples attention, Ross slowly withdrew his indifferent eyes and glanced at the battlefield before looking at Akainu, who had blood on his forehead and on the corner of his mouth. This indifferent look surprised Akainu. He had killed the Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku, even if he defeated many Marine Admirals in the process, Ross consumes less than one-third of his Stamina. The remaining Stamina is enough to support him to continue to act arbitrarily on this battlefield! Whiz! At the next moment, Ross lifted his foot and his entire figure suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, he had already come directly in front of Akainu and punched him. The expressions on Akainus face changed drastically as even Sengoku couldnt bear Rosss fist so he naturally wouldnt be able to bear it. His only advantage was that he is a Logia Devil Fruit user, after offsetting the damage done by Armament Haki, his devil fruit will take part of the damage. In terms of physique and defense, he is not as good as Sengoku, but because Armament Haki cancels each other, the remaining damage received is reduced by the elements body, so his resistance is not weak. Boom! Rosss punch fell and Akainus arms were intertwined in front of him to resist it but his figure was still blasted back and lava splashed in all directions. No! Stop the Ghost Hand! Looking at this scene, Tokikake couldnt help but look upset, and shouted at the many Marines present. Garp paused in place after Sengoku died, but at this moment he slowly took his fist and took a deep breath. Anyway. He is a Marine! You have caused enough trouble, I cant let you go on here anymore! Garp held his fist and charged towards Ross, trying to block him. And at this time, the Hell incarnation wriggled again and pressed a palm of Earth Mountain against Garp. Leave it to me! Seeing this, Tokikake rushed up and blocked the huge giant palm. With Tokikakes helping hand, Garp finally got rid of the Hell Incarnation and rushed to Rosss side, waved his fist at Ross and smashed him. I said that one day you Marines will be sorry and now you are, and I just said that today I am going to let this Marine Headquarters sink into the sea. Ross looked at Garp who rushed over, and said calmly: Ill do what I have said I am Ghost Hand. Bang! He folded his fingers into fists and punched Garp. Garp also punched and the two fists collided in the Void. In a flash, it seemed to have the effect of Whitebeard Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), which made the air shatter. Like two fast trains, their fists hit the front together and the entire ground, air, and sound waves were all rippled layer by layer. Finally. With an earth-shaking sound, the earth between Ross and Garp split open and the crack spread all the way to the two sides of the entire Marine Headquarters. The seawater poured back into it, and once again a terrifying gap appeared. At this moment, Marine Headquarters would soon sink. All buildings have been turned into ruins and the two abysses split Marine Headquarters into four pieces. Ice Age! Seeing that the battlefield would make it difficult for everyone to gain a foothold, Aokiji took a deep breath and was forced to exert the power of Ice Age again, freezing the entire island into an ice island. There is no other way. The Battle forces on Rosss side are all top-level Battle forces, and there is no need for them to have a foothold. Many of their Marines have no footholds and they cannot fight without it. In fact, even if there is a foothold, there is no way they could fight in this battle. In the face of the worlds most powerful Battle force such as Ross, even the reserve Admirals like Tokikake would find it difficult to intervene in it, let alone other Marines. Teng! Teng! Teng! After trying hard to take Rosss punch, Garp finally couldnt resist a head-on fight and staggered back and every single foot he took back caused cracks to appear on the ground and the ice surface, showing how much pressure he is suffering. Old When Garp took more steps back, he couldnt help but sigh. If he was 20 years younger, even if he couldnt beat Ross but he wouldnt be pushed back by a single punch, he would not directly fall into such a big disadvantage. This is no longer a slight difference. Division Captains like Marco will not be affected by an Admirals attack but he was still blown back by Garp, which shows that his strength gap with Ross is already better than Marco and Admirals. The gap between them is even bigger. After punched Garp back, Ross did not chase Garp but turned his head to look in one direction, where the magma wriggled and gathered together, converging into the shape of Akainu. Whiz! Ross continued to chase relentlessly. Since this is the War Of The Best and he has been involved, killing the Marine Fleet Admiral is not enough! In this battle, the Battle force of the World Government will be completely cut off! CHAPTER 438 Cough cough Akainu coughed violently. Although his Armament Haki took some part of Rosss Armament Haki and his elementalized has weakened part of the damage but Rosss attack power is too strong and he still suffered some injuries which were unbearable. Every time he coughed, blood rushed out of his mouth. Bastard, Ghost Hand Akainu gritted his teeth, with a trace of grimace on his face, but at this moment he dared not fight against Ross anymore but fled to the rear without hesitation. As he chased down Luffy and Ace, many Division Captains of Whitebeard Pirates tried their best to block, and at this moment, his status was completely transferred. In front of Ross, he became the target of chasing, and Garp and other Marines tried to block. Ghost Hand, thats enough! As Ross continued to charge into Akainu, a purple-haired figure rushed out of the ruins. In the case that Garp was too late to support, he chose to support Akainu. He is the teacher to Akainu, Aokiji, and others, the previous generation of Marine Admiral, Black Wrist Zephyr. At this moment, Zephyr has not lost faith in Marines and he has not become detached from Marines, and still holds the position of chief instructor of the new camp. One by one, do you have to come here to obstruct me? Facing Zephyrs obstruction, Ross still punched him with a single punch. Boom! Even if he hasnt broken his arm, Zephyr in his peak state will not be the opponent of Ross at the moment, not to mention the old and broken arm Zephyr. With a single punch from Ross, Zephyr flew backward and with his power, at most, Ross suffered a one second blocked. Sengoku has been martyred and I cant let you continue doing as you wish here. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Garp rushed towards Ross again. He clenched his fists and attacked and at this moment it looked as if his momentum has been restored to the point when he chased the Pirate King Roger on the sea. Ross stared at Garp. As you wish! Bang! The moment his words fell, Ross punched Garp and Haoshoku Haki and Armament Haki broke out at the same time, rising into the sky and the vast oppression swept in all directions. Rosss current Haoshoku Haki is no less inferior to Akagami (Red Hair). It bursts out at the moment and shook the very earth he was standing on. People can see his Haoshoku Haki rising into the sky, turning the whole sky into a depression swirl. Bang! Ross, who burst out with Haoshoku Haki was like a god at this moment, and no one could stop him. With a punch, Garp was once again flying backward. Immediately after that, Akainus Ryusei Kazan (Meteor Volcano) exploded in the sky, which turned into countless magma splashes and rushed towards him and Zephyr also attacked at this moment. At this moment, Ross is already staring at Akainu. The strong people of this level are already at the top of the sea and it is difficult to defeat and kill them. Garp and others know this and they were trying to stop Ross and try to give Akainu a chance to breathe. But. Rosss murder intention is now decided. On the one hand, Doberman was originally a subordinate of Akainu. Needless to say, his enmity with Akainu is self-evident. On the other hand, in Marine, it is Akainu who inherited the position of Fleet Admiral. The two generations of Marine Fleet Admirals are naturally his most important targets. Bang! After repelling Garp and Zephyr, Ross pulled out the Cursed Blade Murasame and swept the sword towards Akainu. The sword waved out and directly disturbed the Void in front of him so that the area within a few hundred meters in a circle around Ross showed the state of spatial Distortion visible to the naked eye. Under this blow, Akainu exerted Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki to the limit and dodged desperately, but he was still grazed by Rosss sword edge, and his whole chest and abdomen were almost cut open! Admiral Akainu! Nearby Marine Vice-Admirals couldnt help crying out loud. If Akainu was in his peak condition and with Garp and Zephyrs with him, he could really stop Ross, but he was hammered by Whitebeard before, and then took a punch from Ross. He was seriously injured, even if Garp and Zephyr tried to block Ross, he can no longer defend himself. Whiz! Whiz! Garp and Zephyr gritted their teeth and continued to rush. But Ross faced the two of them, but he has no intention of giving in. The Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand waved horizontally and a slash of Distortion space hit the directly in front of him. Garp and Zephyr both punched with their fists and Armament Haki and power of distortion madly interweave and collided, but in the end, they were still unable to resist and were repelled by Ross! Another step down. Ross attacked Akainu again. Akainu was already seriously injured, and this time he could no longer avoid it. In the face of Rosss sword, he was forced to use his Armament Haki to the limit and wave his fist to resist it. Sii! Rosss sword edge flashed. The Armament Haki on the blade directly smashed Akainus Armament Haki and the Distortions edge flew over his arm. This time it was not lava splashing, but blood spewing! One arm rose into the sky. Ahhhhhh! Akainus arm was cut and he screamed, he retreated backward, his right hand covering the part where his left arm was cut and the magma surged, stopping the outflow of blood. After cutting off Akainus arm with one move, Ross ushered in the joint attack of Garp and Zephyr, still wielding a sword and slashing out, knocking them back in a hard way. Whether it is Garp or Zephyr, almost everyone on this battlefield can only watch at this moment. Ross is like an unstoppable devil, sweeping the entire battlefield, and there will be blood splashing as soon as his sword falls. Another sword. Akainu had a terrifying scar between his chest and abdomen. Another sword. Akainus right arm also flew into the sky. Another sword. A head full of unbelievable and unwilling expressions flew into the sky. Until the moment of death, Akainu had a hard time accepting the fact that he would die here, in the Marine Headquarters. He had dreams of becoming Marine Fleet Admiral, to eradicate all pirates, to end this Great Age of Pirates, and to wipe out the shame that Ross had brought him, but all of these became out of his reach at this moment. Unwilling. His heart was filled with unwillingness. His head fell on the distant ice and rolled twice, he was dead. After Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Marine Headquarters highest Battle force Akainu, one of the three Admiral is dead! The expressions of Aokiji Kizaru and others have long become frozen. Both Garp and Zephyrs movements were completely halted. A trace of despair came up in the hearts of countless Marines. Who can stop Ross! Too strong, too strong, ridiculously strong, almost incredible, even Garp was unable to stop Ross from rampaging on the battlefield as he killed wantonly! Is it true that Marines are going to be destroyed by Ross here today? CHAPTER 439 APPEARS PART 1 A figure stood in front of Akainus body. At this moment. Ross, dressed in a black cloak, looked like a god of death. Everyone has seen what he had done, everyone is afraid to even look him in the eye. The people who have seen these scenes through the broadcast were stunned and no sound escaped from their mouth, they stood rooted in their place and fear gripped their heart. The Marine Fleet Admiral is dead and a Marine Admiral is dead too. One must know that this is the doing of only Ghost Hand Ross and the main force of Ghost Hand Pirates is still in their territory. What would happen if every Division Captains and all the powers of the Ghost Hand Pirate are deployed? The secure Marine Headquarters, would they even be able to resist them? Would they be able to guard themselves against them? Im afraid not! The forces that can really overpower Marines are truly qualified to compete with the World Government and they are also qualified to declare war against the World Government! Ross slowly withdrew the Cursed Blade Murasame and he turned to look at the battlefield. He still retains more than half of his Stamina as killing Sengoku and Akainu was easier than he thought because of the 50 Talent Proficiency Points he had obtained from Whitebeard. These 50 Talent Proficiency Points raised Rosss strength a bit higher, allowing him to directly overpower and kill a Marine Admiral. The Marine Admiral Candidate Tokikake and the previous Admiral Zephyr did not have the strength to block him. But. Even after killing Sengoku and killing Akainu, Ross still did not receive any rewards from the system from defeating Marines. It seems that in this situation, the system had not considered him to destroy Marine. Thats it Rosss eyes flashed as he murmured and finally, his eyes fell on Kizaru. Kizaru noticed that Rosss gaze came towards him and his heart began to tremble in an instant. A bad feeling arose in his heart. Why is Ross looking at him? Did he plan to kill him too? Its too much! He had already killed Akainu and Sengoku! Ross glanced at Kizarus body, but he still looked away and finally looked his gaze on Zephyr who was standing not far away. Kizaru is not much injured now and coupled with the particularity of Glint-Glint Fruit, he should be the most difficult one to kill except for Garp. It would take too much stamina to kill him. In this case, it is better to kill Zephyr first and reduce Marines power and morals. Although Zephyr left Marines in the later period, there was a psychological and hatred between him and pirates. Especially after defecting to Marine, he acted even worse than Akainu. He never took anyone alive and he didnt care if the people with pirates were innocent or not, there was no possibility of surrender with him. Not good! Garp noticed the change in Rosss gaze and suddenly his face changed and he yelled: Zephyr! Carefull! But before he could finish his sentence, Ross has already moved out. He moved his sword from a distance and his attack fell towards Zephyr. Sii! This sword directly cut the space between Ross and Zephyr in half. The blade cut through the Void, spanning a distance of hundreds of meters, and cut towards the top of Zephyrs head. Zephyrs face changed drastically but it was too late to evade the attack. He roared at this moment and excited his Armament Haki to the limit, he waved his wrist to block the incoming attack. At the same time. His body also backed away, trying to relieve the force while resisting. But the power of Rosss sword is still strong and unmatched. Even if some of the power is spent on cutting space, it still slashes Zephyrs Armament Haki! Qing! This sword attack didnt just injure Zephyrs wrist but it was cut into it instantly and chopped on the bone making an acid sound. Seeing this, Garp shouted angrily and waved his fists as he charged forward. But Ross ignored this oncoming obstruction and after taking a step forward, he directly crossed the space and came in front of Zephyr. He waved the sword in his hand. Zephyr also knew that he was facing a life-and-death crisis, he roared and forced his power to the limit, vaguely regaining his peak state powers and attached the dark Armament Haki on his fist while striking against the tip of Rosss sword. Siii! Rosss Cursed Blade Murasame sword edge directly hit Zephyrs fist. This collision did not make any sound of gold and iron symphony but instead snorted, everyone saw that the tip of Rosss sword had already pierced through Zephyrs Armament Haki! Ross had an indifferent look on his face and he clenched his fingers around the hilt of the blade, he excited the power of distortion and condensed it on the blade before sending it forward fiercely. Qing! This sword penetrated straight through Zephyrs fist and penetrated his arm, the blade penetrated all the way and appeared behind his shoulder! The whole process took only two seconds, and Garp finally rushed over to their position. Ross shook his wrist and the blade directly cut through Zephyrs arm, piercing through it. Zephyr stumbled back, his face pale. Originally because his one lost arm, his Battle force had already dropped too much. At this time, this arm is also almost equal to being cut apart. With his old age and with both arms gone, he wouldnt have any battle force in the future. At this moment, Ross shows his powers to everyone and their was only one feeling in the hearts of everyone. That is Despair! Desperate, Hopeless, and him being Powerful! Ross crossed his sword in front of his body to block Garps fist and then continued to charge towards Zephyr. Once he decided to do something, he would not show kindness. Once he made up his mind to do something, it was impossible for him to show any mercy. Garp was feeling helpless and powerless as he couldnt stop Ross, and under the numb gaze of many people, Rosss sword penetrated through Zephyrs chest. Can anyone stop him? CHAPTER 439 APPEARS PART 2 A Rear-Admiral of Marine Headquarters watched this scene, the blade in his hand fell to the ground and he also involuntarily kneeled to the ground. It was not because he had no power or stamina to stand but he had lost his will to fight anymore. When faced with such a desperate situation caused by a terrible existence, there is no way that anyone would feel victory, forget about the desperate person, even a determined person will lose his will to do anything. The faces of Aokiji and Kizaru also had an ugly looking expression. At this time, no one knows what to do. It can be said that the Marine Headquarters can already declare its collapse no matter what happens next as they have lost both Battle powers and Command Power! But. Almost as soon as Ross beheaded Zephyr and countless Marines were feeling completely desperate, a dark shadow quietly appeared on the battlefield and a black vortex rushed towards Ross. Black Prison! World Government support has finally arrived at the Marine Headquarters! This black vortex is wrapped in a heart-wrenching power and the terrifying gravity contained in it seems to be able to annihilate everything. But. Rosss Kenbonshoku (Observation) has reached its peak and he has the ability of Future Prediction, he has long foreseen the arrival of Black Prison and he turned around and cut the coming black vortex with the blade in his hand. Wrapped around the sword edge is the power of distortion that cuts across the black vortex. The black vortex was instantly frozen there and the upper and lower sides of it were divided into two, and the vortex finally turned into a ray of scattered power that dissipated in the Void. You are finally here. Ross held the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand and looked at the Black Prison, but his face did not show any surprise expression, but instead, he said coldly: Only you? Do you really think you can stop me? However, just at the moment he finished speaking, his expression changed slightly, and his figure flickered abruptly, traversing a few tens of meters to the side. And at the same time. A thick thunder began to pour down from the sky like a column of water and fell to the location that was previously occupied by Ross. Avoiding the thunder attack, Ross looked up at the sky. There, a figure was floating in the air with inexplicable ability. He was wearing black clothes, and his face was no stranger to Ross. World Governments Highest Power core. One of the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars)! Master Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) A Vice-Admirals in the Marine Headquarters raised his head and saw the figure in the sky, his face could not help revealing a trace of shock. Few people thought that a Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) would come over in person. Even Aokiji and Kizaru took a deep breath at the moment to suppress the surprise in their heart. So you finally cant sit still anymore. Ross looked up at the sky and said lightly as his eyes flashed with a strange light. Not all Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) can be counted as a Battle force and Ross had confirmed this before the invasion of Holy Land Mariejois. What he perceives is that there should be at least two people in the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) with strong Battle power and they would at least be at the level of Marine Admiral. In fact. If Im, who exists under the shadow of the Tenryubito and is defined as king, then Gorosei (Five Elder Stars) would be equivalent to subordinates civilian generals, and naturally, there is a distinction between those who are good at governance and those who are good at Battle. I didnt get rid of you in the earlier days. It was our mistake to let you run free and not kill you from the very beginning and the result of our carelessness had produced a pirate and a criminal to this extent, if we have killed you before then we would not be seeing what had happened today. The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) looked coldly at Ross who was standing on the ground and said coldly. But Marine Headquarters is built to maintain peace and justice around the world, how can it be destroyed so easily. As his voice fell, he raised his hand towards Ross and launched another attack. Who is that? It seems that he is one of the highest power of the World Government Gorsei (Five Elder Stars)! The current scene made waves in the hearts of people who watched this scene from afar from all over the world. They had thought that Marines would be defeated here but the World Governments support arrived and one of them was standing at the top of the World Government, with the highest power, a Gorsei (Five Elder Stars)! In fact. For the whole world, the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) is a very mysterious existence. The world only knows that they are the highest power core of the World Government and the highest position of Tenryubito, but what these five people represent and what their specific identities are all mysteries. CHAPTER 440 DISASTER Seeing Gorsei a (Five Elder Stars) appear on the battlefield, Garp slowly lowered his fist. Garp doesnt have a good opinion on the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) or the Tenryubito. He only insists on the justice of Marines and not on the power of Tenryubito. Garps fighting intentions gradually subsided and at the moment when the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) attacked, he did not choose to attack Ross and retreated. But. The Gorseis strength still surprised the world. Heavenly Thunder! The Gorsei spoke with a cold voice and waved his hand in Rosss direction and the clouded sky was intertwined with countless thunder arcs that rushed towards Ross. Is this the ability to control the Thunder? Seeing this scene, Ross narrowed his eyes slightly but he did not have any intention of giving in. He directly clenched his fist and punched the coming attack. Bang! The thunder, as big as a bucket of water, had not yet fallen when it collided with the power of distortion in the void, it crackled and was finally violently shattered. The user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is Rosss subordinate but in this world, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit isnt the only thing that can control Thunder. Its like BIGMOMs Soul-Soul Fruit that can also control Thunder Cloud in the way of Homies and exert the power of Thunder. Among Zoan Devil Fruit, there are also special forms that can control the Thunder. But. Before people could recover from the thunder released by Gorosei and the shock of Rosss attack, the Gorosei charged towards Ross. At the same time, a strange and surging power swayed from him and rushed towards Ross. Earthfire! Before the men could get there, the already broken ground of the Marine Headquarters exploded with a Bang and the lava rose with the flames and swept toward Ross. Fire? Magma? Rosss eyebrows flickered slightly as he vaguely thought of something but he wasnt sure of it at this moment. The blade in his hand slashed sharply and slashing towards his front area and then split the skyward magma in half, splitting it from the center. The Earth Roar! Hurricane Roar! The Gorsei flicked his hands together and attacked Ross with different types of attacks one by one. With the waving of his hands, the debris rolled wildly like a mudslide while carrying the ice, while on the other side was a furious hurricane, carrying dust and ice all over the sky, coming towards Ross. Thunder and Wind. In a short span of time, the Gorsei has already revealed four elemental abilities, which is no longer possible by eating a Logia Devil Fruit, nor Devil Fruit of any Sacred Beast Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. Only one Devil Fruit user can possess this power. Paramecias Disaster Fruit! It is said that the ability to control all Disasters is known as one of the strongest and invincible Devil Fruit abilities, and its ranking should even exceed the Logia Thunder Devil Fruit! Thunder, Fire and Wind It cant be, this is Disaster Fruit! Marco and other Division Captains of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at this scene and the expressions on their faces changed, Marco took a deep breath and slowly spoke. This Devil Fruit has not appeared on the sea for a long time, so many people have forgotten the terrifying power of the Disaster Fruit. But. Marco still remembers that when he was very young, the Disaster fruit ability was once used to destroy many islands, and the user of this Devil Fruit was even able to defeat the Marine Fleet Admiral of that generation! The strength of this Devil Fruit is that it can almost ignore the Crowd tactics. Even if the user of this Devil Fruit faces two or three people with similar strength, he can still force down his opponents by continuously releasing various disasters! The Disaster Fruit. Ross confirmed this at the moment, he snorted and stepped forward, directly avoiding the swept debris flow and hurricane and rushed towards the Gorsei. The expressions on the Gorseis face didnt change as he saw Ross rushing towards him. He pulled out his sword and split towards Ross. At the same time, a frost aura appeared on the blade. When the sword was hacked out, a white cold air appeared in the void and the places it passed by seemed to become extremely cold and the land and the air all condensed into ice. Aokijis Ice-Ice Fruit, strictly speaking, is the ability to pure manipulate of ice, while the Disaster fruit is mastered by the disaster caused by the extreme cold, the Cold Disaster! As an Ice-Ice Fruit User, Aokiji can ignore the cold disaster, but others would be hard-pressed to resist one of the most terrible disasters in this world. Qing! The sword in Rosss hand was wrapped with the power of distortion and he waved it away, shattering the chill coming towards him. However, after the cold collapsed, it did not disappear. Instead, it spread out in all directions. In an instant, the temperature dropped by several dozen degrees in the area that was hundreds of meters around! Under this extreme cold, ordinary people will be frozen into ice sculptures in almost a moment. But. What shocked the Gorsei was that Ross who was covered by this extreme cold was still coming toward him, although his black cloak and his mouth and nose were covered with a layer of frost but his speed was not affected! Ross stepped forward and punched the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars). Bang! The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) utilized his Armament Haki and at the same time, he raised his foot and the whole earth shook as a large piece of soil appeared in front of him to block the incoming attack. But even so, he still stumbled back. In front of the current Ross, no matter whether it is Disaster or any bells and whistles, nothing can completly stop his attack! This guy his flesh and physical power is really comparable to that Kaido. The Gorsei was knocked back by Ross and his face became difficult to look at. Covered by his Cold Disaster, even a strong man like Garp wouldnt be able to remain completely unaffected unless he uses Armament Haki. And the Ross in front of him didnt even use Armament Haki at all, he ignored the extreme cold simply by relying on his flesh, his body has obviously reached a non-human level! Is that all? Ross punched the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and looked at him plainly while saying: Then, its my turn. The moment his words fell, Ross held the sword in both hands and suddenly thrust it into the ground. CHAPTER 441 STILL INVINSIBLE Buzz! The sword stabs into the earth and the power of distortion instantly pours into the earth, spreading in all directions and surging wildly. For a time, it was like the ability of Float-Float Fruit has been used and countless pieces of ice and rock began to float in the sky. The Gorseis complexion changed slightly, he had also noticed a force enveloping his entire body. He stepped on his feet and exhibited the Seismic capabilities of the Disaster Fruit. The violent shock of the whole earth collided against Rosss power of distortion. Bang! The Marine Headquarters seems to be boiling in an oil pan. Under the shocked gazes of countless people, it explodes in all directions, centering on Ross and the Gorsei. Fear. Ross held the Cursed Blade Murasame in his hand and he slashed it towards the Gorsei. The power of distortion combined with the power of Soul-Soul Fruit suddenly burst out and burst towards the Gorsei. The fear in Gorseis physic is awakened by this force, and coupled with Soul Distortion, the fear is suddenly magnified infinitely. The Goroseis eyes widened and his pupils contracted violently, his chest began to heave in and out at a faster speed and his breath almost got frozen, it was as if he had met his worst nightmare in reality in the middle of the night. Ahhhhhh! The fear in his heart was stimulated to the limit and the Gorsei roared, releasing the power of Disaster fruit desperately. Thunderstorms, Hurricanes, and Earthquakes erupted all around him for a while, sweeping in every direction and destroying everything nearby. But. At that moment, Ross took back the Soul Distortion power and pressed down with the palm of his left hand. Arc of Space! Under Rosss action, a strange Distortion curve suddenly appeared in the void in front of him, just like a few distorted mirrors and they were placed around the Gorsei, surrounding him in the center. The Hurricane, Thunder, and Fire released by the Gorsei hit the curved space and could not penetrate through it. After a turn, these attacks hit back towards the Gorosei. This is bad The Gorsei recovered from his fear and his heart screamed in fear but he could only release the power of Disaster and could not control it. Faced with various disasters that struck towards him from all directions, he could only condense Armament Haki on his body to resist them. Bang! Thunder and fire, wind and cold, all exploded in a flash. The crazy interweaving of various elements caused the Gorsei to scream, his black suit instantly shattered and many different wounds such as burns and frostbites appeared on his body. You are really strong, and the ability of Disaster fruit is really strong but its weakness is that it is so strong that you cannot control it freely. Ross waved away the Arc Of Space Distortion while speaking indifferently, the blade in his hand slashed towards the head of the Gorsei. In Totto Land. What else does Ross do besides training every day? He asked Robin and Reiju to take care of some things for him. When he is free, he goes to the Devil Fruit database and looks up the strongest Fruit. Disaster Fruit is one of the Devil Fruits that had left many impressions on Ross. This fruit in made for war, it can be said that this Devil Fruit is enough to bring victory to its wielder. The Devil fruit user would only need to release a few Disaster and the enemy will be basically close to annihilation. And in a single battle, it is also ridiculously powerful. Perhaps a simple earthquake is not as good as Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi), and pure Skyfire is not as good as Magu-Magu Fruit, but it is still stronger than either of them because it can unleash any kind of disaster! Two or even three disasters can become intertwined and that power would be extremely terrifying. But. It is also because the Disaster released by the Disaster fruit is too powerful, so it also has a shortcoming. Ross is also very clear about this shortcoming and that shortcoming is that this fruit is difficult to control. The Devil Fruit user wont be able to retract and control the released Disaster as the released disaster is equivalent to completely becoming a real Disaster. Master Gorsei (Five Elder Stars)! How is it possible even the ability of Disaster fruit Countless Marines of the Marine Headquarters were shocked at this moment. Originally, the Gorseis ability to use the Disaster made them feel shocked, but Ross actually turned such a huge advantage into a disadvantage in just a few moves and knocked down the Gorsei. His strength is too terrifying. Even the ability of Disaster fruit cant fight against Ross! Cough Fuck The Gorsei had a hint of fear in his eyes. He didnt expect that even with the ability of the Disaster fruit at his disposal, he wouldnt be able to do anything to Ross and Ross even turned his own attacks on him. Had it not been for the extraordinary life-nourishing fluid that Vegapunk had studied and injected into his body, he would have been badly wounded. Black Prison! Seeing that the Gorsei was in crisis, the former Admiral Black Prison who was not far away did not hesitate to attack and a force of gravity suddenly pulled the power of distortion on Rosss blade. Two forces interweave and collide in Void. His gravity is obviously not as good as Rosss current power of distortion and even if he goes all out, it can only make Rosss blade deviate a little. Qing! Holding the sword in both hands, the Gorosei blocks the oncoming sword with the help of Rosss deflating blade and he finally manages to avoid it and rolls on the ground. Lets do it together then. Seeing that the Black Prison had already attacked him, Ross let out a cold snort while holding the distortion Blade Murasame in his right hand, and the power of distortion in his left, and proceeded to deliver a ferocious blow. Black Prison assisted Gorsei with interfering with Rosss movements with the power of Attraction Fruit, interfering with Rosss power of distortion, making Gorosei have an easier time in using the Disaster Fruit. But With the passage of time, what shocked both of them was that even if they cooperated to deal with Ross in this way, they were still suppressed by Ross with his strength! The Disaster released by Gorsei was either destroyed by a punch or split with a sword attack and it had no ability to suppress Ross. As for Black Prisons Attraction Fruit, the remote release can indeed contain part of Rosss power of distortion but the problem is that even if a fraction of Rosss power of distortion is contained, the rest of his power is still not something both of them can deal with! Bang! Ross punched and broke the gravitational vortex released by Black Prison. He punched out again to destroy the wind and fire disaster released by the Gorsei. With one enemy and two of them, the Gorsei and Black Prison fought against Ross! Die! In the fierce battle, Rosss eyes flashed with a cold light and he suddenly attacked Black Prison and pushed him down with a stroke, and his figure suddenly disappeared using Distortion Space and appeared directly in front of the Gorosei. His figure suddenly turned into four, surrounded Gorsei in the center and four Cursed Blade Murasame, wrapped in the power of distortion severely slashed towards the Gorsei! Gorseis face changed drastically and he immediately roared and released four Disasters in a row, sweeping in all directions, and confronting the four figures of Ross. But. Under Rosss power of distortion, the four Disasters were cut apart one by one and the sword edge continued to sweep towards the Gorsei. Gorsei tried his best to evade these attacks but his body was still rubbed by the sword edge. Blood splattered in an instant and there was a terrible wound between his chest and abdomen. In a One against Two battle. Ross defeated Black Prison and hit the Gorsei and once again, his momentum rose to the peak, making countless people lose their voices! Still invincible! CHAPTER 442 NEXT TIME Too strong. The Division Captains of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at Rosss almost invincible posture and couldnt help whispering. The spirit of Ross at this moment is still above Whitebeard! He came to the Marine Headquarters alone, he beheaded a Marine Admiral and killed the Marine Fleet Admiral and he also suppressed the Gorsei, one of the world governments highest powers! Prepare to withdraw. Marco was also looking at Ross, but while his heart was surging, he took a deep breath with a trace of calmness in his eyes. Helping Ross to block the Marine Admirals and giving Ross a chance to kill Akainu and Sengoku had already made it so that they dont owe any favors to Ross. This is Marine Headquarters, which is very close to the World Government and the reinforcement of the World Government will come at any time. No matter how strong Ross is, he is only one person, and his Stamina cannot be infinite. After the World Governments reinforcements arrive, Ross may be able to leave easily, but they will not be able to leave at that time, so now is the time to withdraw. Its time to withdraw. Diamond Jozu also whispered. In fact, everyone is in a low mood now. No matter how miserable Marine Headquarterss situation is and no matter how defeated the World Government is, all of this wouldnt allow them to get back their father Whitebeard. Marco and others have already planned to retreat and as the fighting continued, they began to move to the periphery of the Marine Headquarters, fighting and retreating at the same time. Once Marco and others retreated, there was a chain reaction on Rosss side. Whiz! As he was about to go after the Gorosei to see if he could kill one of the Five Elder Stars here, a brilliant sword energy burst through the air and hit Ross. The Sword energy is not huge but it is shining and dazzling. It contains the power to cut everything and Armament Haki is also wrapped in it. This is Momousagis slash. What a pity When Ross waved his sword to resist the oncoming sword energy, the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) had already retreated a few tens of meters away. At this moment, Ross was suspended in mid-air and the afterglow of the corners of his eyes had also noticed the retreat of Marco and others. After all, Marco and others are only the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and they are not his men, they cannot always be here to assist him. To be able to hit Marine so hard, it was because of the assistance of the Hurricane Incarnation, Hell Incarnation and the Division Captains of the Whitebeard Pirates also helped him. Now that Marco and others are about to withdraw, continuing this battle obviously have no meaning. Ross didnt attack again but he didnt retreat directly, he retracted his blade and remained suspended in the sky, overlooking the Marine Headquarters indifferently. After Momousagi rescued the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), she did not attack again, she took a deep breath and stared at Ross. No one else took action without permission. Rosss strength put too much pressure on everyone present. Although they all know that Ross Stamina should have consumed by a lot but no one dared to attack him. In other words. Even if everyone works together against Ross, I am afraid that at least one or two people will die under Rosss counterattack and no one wants to be the one to die. Its a pity that I wasnt able to kill you here. Ross glanced at the Marine Headquarters but he did not care about the Admirals, such as Aokiji and Kizaru, who had quietly withdrawn and his eyes finally fell on the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars). The Gorseis face was filled with gloom. Although the wound between his chest and abdomen was forcibly closed by him using Life Return (Seimei Kikan) but his injury was too serious and it couldnt be erased. If it hadnt been for Momousagis timely support just now, even if he didnt die on the spot, he would have been seriously injured by Ross and would have been close to death. Pirate, it was impossible to make an enemy of the government and live. The Gorsei coldly said, No one can rebel against the world and become its enemy and live to tell the tale, no one can do it. Your so-called Totto Land will be destroyed sooner or later. Ross looked calm as he looked towards the Gorsei and said: It is good to be the enemy to the world, it sounds very good, but unfortunately, the tenryubito wont be representing the world for much longer. Today was not a decisive battle, you should be glad. Rosss momentum slowly converged. At the same time, the Hurricane incarnation also gradually shrunk, turned into a small Dragon tornado and came to Ross shoulders, and the Hell Incarnation also shed his earth giant avatar and fell back to the earth, and finally turned into the form of Enel. Under the Gravity Distortion of Ross, he flew to the sky and stood behind Ross without saying a word. Nami, who was above the rock giant, was lifted by a stone platform, and flew into the air, falling to the other side of Ross. During the whole process, some of the Marines tightened their weapons, but no one dared to take any action. The consequences of this overhead war are already too serious to be almost unbearable. If it continued, no one knows how to take responsibility. Live well in your last days. When Ross pressed his hand to Void, a vortex appeared in the space in front of him, and he opened a space portal. Standing in front of the space door, Ross turned his head to look at the Marine Headquarters and the Gorsei and others before saying: The next time we meet, this world will no longer belong to you. His dull voice spread out in the Marine Headquarters and Ross took a step forward, and the vortex of space suddenly expanded, enveloping him and everyone with him in it. Buzz! The vortex rippled, then turned into a ripple and slowly dissipated, and the figures of Ross and others had long disappeared. The Marine Headquarters is nothing more than ruins at this moment and there wasnt even a single building that was intact. All was left were the low faces of the Gorsei, Kizaru, and others. Great Age of Pirates twenty-two years. The Marine Headquarters declared public execution of the Second Division Captian of the White Beard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace. During the execution, the Whitebeard Pirate regiment attacked and eventually rescued the Second Division Captain Fire Fist Ace, while Whitebeard, one of the three legendary pirates eventually died in the battle. The war did not end with Whitebeards fall. With the arrival of Totto Lands ruler, Ghost Hand Ross declared war upon the World Government and another war broke out again, the Marine Headquarters ushered in an unprecedented defeat for themselves. Marine Headquarters Admiral Akainu, died! Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral Sengoku, die! In this battle, Marine suffered an unprecedented loss, and the Marine Fort was completely destroyed and shattered into pieces and became an island that is no longer suitable for human habitation. The Gorsei, the core of the World Governments highest power, appeared in a critical moment, but he wasnt able to recover the situation. Eventually, the two mysterious combat forces and Ghost Hand Rosss subordinate and the Whitebeard Pirates left separately. This battle later became known as the War Of The Best. And this battle was also the first official battle between the Totto Land and the World Government CHAPTER 443 NEW BALANCE Its over the war In the Sabaody Archipelago island, almost half a minute has elapsed after Rosss figure disappeared and countless people immersed in it gradually came out of their dream-like state. The war is over. Has the Whitebeard Pirates won? No, although Ace was rescued, Whitebeard was killed in battle and it cannot be counted as their victory. Did Marines win? No, although Whitebeard, one of the three legendary pirates, was killed, Marine Fleet Admiral and a Marine Admiral died and the Marine Headquarters was completely sunk. This is far from being linked to the word victory. This battle was initiated by the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirate took over the next war. But. Neither party is a winner. In this war, there is only one person, or a force, that has won a huge victory, that is Totto Land! In this battle, despite the involvement of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ross eliminated the two Battle powers of Marines, but why didnt the entire Ghost Hand Pirate Force show up? This world is about to change. Totto Land and the Government, who can win Many people looked at the sky and couldnt help but murmur. For the future of this world, these civilians can only feel dazed. Marine Flee Admiral and Marine Admiral are both dead, can anyone stop the Ghost Hand and Totto Land? Someone murmured. Maybe in the future, Tenryubito will no longer be the World Noble. Someone beside him shook his head and said, No, the government will not lose so easily, they have ruled the world for 800 years. The main force of Ghost Hand Pirates was not there but that was also the case for the Word Government, no one knows what kind of power they have. Many people couldnt help whispering after coming back to themselves. Where will this world go? Someone looked up at the sky and sighed. For these civilians, there is no way for them to make any changes before this wave that is about to change the entire world, they can only try their best to protect themselves. Anyone, in the face of the worlds ruling regime, when there is going to be a change, is confused and at a loss. Sabaody Archipelago Island. Somewhere on the coast, space swirled. Rosss Space Distortion ability cant take him too far, his current limit is from Marine Headquarters to Sabaody Archipelago island. When the space vortex dissipated, three figures emerged from it. Ross stood directly in front and the expressionless Hell Incarnation was on his left side and the dizzy Nami was on the right side. Because of the span of space and distance, she couldnt bear it for a moment. She felt that the sky was spinning, and it was difficult for her to maintain her standing figure and she began to fell to the side. Ross grabbed her and held her up. Nami could only hold Rosss arm at the moment and barely keep standing, after about half a minute, she finally recovered from the violent dizziness. Is this Sabaody Archipelago Island? She glanced at the surroundings and there was a dazed look in her eyes. Yes. Ross nodded and said: Marines and the government wont be able to control it for the time being. Nami recalled her scenes and scenes witnessed in the War Of The Best and couldnt help but take a deep breath. It was a little unimaginable. The ruler of Totto Land, who challenged the world, was now standing beside her. Are you going to find your friends? Ross casually asked Nami. Nami didnt know what to do for a while, and she nodded slowly after hesitating for a while as she heard Rosss words. Then go, they are also on this island, at Rayleighs place. Ross lightly smiled and said, If you want to take risks, just complete your adventure. When you dont have anything to do, come to Totto Land to take care of my finances. After saying these words, Ross stepped towards the distance and his back gradually blurred, like the water ripples as he disappeared. Nami looked at Rosss back and hesitated for a while, but she finally exhaled. Totto Land will go to war with the World Government. Now it is really not a good choice to go to Totto Land. Besides, she promised Luffy. She wants to be a navigator on Luffys ship until Luffy conquers the Grand Line and arrives at Raftel to become the Pirate King. After dropping Nami in the Sabaody Archipelago island, Ross took the Hell Incarnation and the Hurricane Incarnation and flew directly into the sky at 10,000 meters height and flew in the direction of the Birka island. At the moment, Ross flew while evoking the Talent System. On the Talent System Interface, there are 150 Talent Proficiency Points and 7 Free Talent Points. This 150 Talent Proficiency Point reward sounded in his ear when he left the Marine Headquarters, defeating the Marine Headquarters Battle force led by Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku granted him this reward. Also. He got 1 Free Talent Points. With these 150 Talent Proficiency Points, he would be able to raise his power of distortion to the max value of 1000 points, and with 7 Free Talent Points, it is enough to activate the final Time Distortion ability. However, Ross did not rush to use it, but continued to fly to Birka. His Stamina consumption was indeed quite large at this moment, leaving him only with 10% to 20%. At the present point, it can be said that the wheels of history have been rolled over, and the torrential rivers of the times are flowing down the river. After a few hours. Ross returned to the Sky Island Birka and took a bath under Robins service, he changed into a clean bathrobe and lay down on the soft bed made by island cloud to sleep. This sleep continued until the noon of the next day. Ross woke up and turned around, he opened his eyes and walked off the bed and came to the window as he stretched out. Its noon. Walking out of the palace and into the outer hall, Ross looked at Robin, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and said, Is there anything going on at the World Government? Theyre trying to minimize the damage, but this was an open war and there were many monitor seagulls in the sky and the whole world had watched everything. They cant cover and hide much. Robin put down the book and looked at Ross, who was approaching, and said, Totto Lands forces are almost done with the Peace Country and the leftover forces of the Beast Pirates have not resisted very much. As expected. Ross nodded as he heard this. He declared war on the World Government in Marine Headquarters, and killed a Marine Admiral and the Marine Fleet Admiral. Even stupid people know that the situation in the world is changing. In the former sea, World Government and Marines ruled at the highest point, Yonk (Four Emperors) were ranked under the Marines, and Shichibukai took the place behind them, forming a balanced situation. And now. The balance has not been broken but has become a new form. CHAPTER 444 PART 1 Totto Land has become the only huge force that can face off against the World Government. In front of the two huge forces namely Totto Land and the World Government, all other forces can only watch but do nothing, especially the Yonk (Four Emperors). The only Yonko that still remained is Red Hair Shanks. Red Hair Shanks did not appear on the battlefield of the War Of The Best from beginning to end. After the war, there has been no movement from his side. It seems that he has no intention of making any more moves in this situation. With what you did in the Marine Headquarters, we can completely reorganize the Beast Pirates territory in less than half a month. Robin than whispered to Ross: What should we do with Akagami (Red Hair) and Whitebeards site. Whitebeard is history. Ross came to the sofa and sat down, he took a cup of tea and took a sip, saying: Marco is a smart person, I dont think they will have any plans to compete with us. As for Akagami (Red Hair) we will wait until we receive Whitebeards site and see what they plan to do. In fact. Indeed, as Ross and Robin had foreseen, after Ross declared war on the World Government with the power of Totto Land, many forces had cast their requests for an alliance with them. Conquering New World seems to be a matter of time now and the resistance they would have faced is greatly reduced. For the forces trying to invest in Totto Land and become its subordinates, Rosss characterization is also very simple. As before, pirates who burn, kill, and loot will not be accepted and he will accept any normal forces. Totto Land has now become a World Government composed of a large number of countries. What use they have of the pirates who only knew how to burn, kill, and loot? For the follow-up governance of Totto Land, Ross did not worry about it. There is no need to think and talk about these things. You just need to build the world and have the power. Naturally, someone will rely on you and your power to govern the world for you. The real ruler of the World Government is Tenryubito, and Tenryubitos power is now unstable, and many countries have begun to implicitly evade the rules of the World Government, such as giving out the Heavenly Tribute to them. This is only one aspect of things that are not going to the World Governments way. After briefly discussing the subsequent development and expansion direction of Totto Land with Robin, Ross left the palace and flew upwards until he came to the sky, overlooking the clouds below him. Because he often comes to this height to train himself and with the strength of his body, even at this height, Ross basically feels no pressure upon himself. Lets start. The Max 1000 points. Ross took a deep breath and summoned the Talent System Interface. Looking at the Interface of the Talents Tree, his thoughts moved and 50 Talent Proficiency Points were put into the power of distortion. The Proficiency value of the power of distortion also jumped from 950 points to 1000 points. Buzz! With the addition of these 50 Talent Proficiency Points, the golden-red light appeared on Rosss body and gradually turned into a deep red. After surrounding Rosss body for some time, it was injected into Rosss body and merged with the power of distortion. At this moment, Ross only felt an explosive feeling in his body. It seems like the beginning of chaos, the birth of the world, and the power of distortion is expanding. The sheer expansion of the power of distortion made Ross feel the strain on his body, Ross also felt that his body is under heavy pressure and with his current physique, he he wouldnt be able to smoothly use this vast amount of power. It has improved so much Ross opened his eyes and felt the expanding strength of his body and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He had never thought that the last 50 Talent Proficiency Points would bring in so much improvement. At first, he had thought that it would be a huge improvement if his powers increase by one percent, but in fact, it has increased by more than 30 percent, it is almost a gap in the realm! One must know that even 30% power of distortion inside Rosss body is equal to the power of the Three Disasters and Four Sweet Commanders. It was getting very difficult and borderline impossible to increase his power even by 1% and at this time, his powers has skyrocketed to such a level. With his current strength, he has completely surpassed any Marine Admiral and he can even fight all of them at the same time without falling in any disadvantage. Its a bit difficult to control freely. Ross clenched his fists and murmured to himself, it has been a long time since he experienced this kind of jerky feeling because of the explosion of power of distortion inside his body and because his physical strength couldnt keep up with the power. He can feel that if his physical strength can fully keep up with the power of distortion, with his current strength, it is enough to sweep and crush Akainu Aokiji and others at the same time! After experiencing the jerky power of distortion, Rosss mind slowly calmed down and he once again evoking the translucent Interface of the Talent System, looking at the last branch of the power of distortion. Time Distortion. At the same time that the power of distortion reached the Maximum Value of 1000 points, the activation conditions of this branch have also been presented, and 7 Free Talent Points are needed. This is basically consistent with Rosss previous judgment. The words Time Distortion on the branch show green luster, which means they can be activated. Ross took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions. He decided to activate the Time Distortion ability without showing any hesitation. Sii. 7 Free Talent Points instantly return to 0. Chapter 444 Time Distortion PART 2 At the same time, the whole green stem starts to appear with a different color that spread all the way from the end, spreading a golden color, and the branch finally became pure gold. At the moment when Time Distortions branch was activated, Ross saw a strange change in the world, it is as if the whole world had suddenly begun to double in his perception. Looking carefully at it. It is not the world that has changed but now he can see every tick and every mark on the timeline! One dimension is a line, two dimensions are a surface, and three dimensions are a fixed space. With the addition of the fourth dimension, this space will show countless moments along the time scale. In simple words. Ross saw the Time itself. This is not the kind of Future Prediction ability of Observation Haki, but it is real, seeing the illusory existence of Time. It is just like before when Ross activated the Space Distortion ability and he began to feel the space and he realized that space has become perceptible and accessible to him. Now. Under this power, Time has become a substance that can be felt and touched by him. This is very weird. Ross slowly reached out with his hand, pressing the countless overlapping Spaces like the phantom, pressing on the Time Scale that was difficult to describe with anything, but he felt his hand becoming jerky and sluggish as if it had fallen into the mud. There is no doubt that Time Distortion is the addition of Talent System to Distortion Fruit, it is the ultimate ability and its strength is undoubted and so is the difficulty in using this ability effortlessly. Ross tried to stimulate the power of distortion to bend the time scale, but he could only bend it a little bit before it bounced back immediately. It turns out that time is flexible. Ross withdrew his hands and looked thoughtful. No wonder that people with Observation Hakis Future Prediction ability can see and change the Future without causing the collapse of time. Because time is flexible, even if someone changes the future of an events next moment, it will still bounce back and will not collapse. Just like what Ross is doing now, even if his Time Distortion power changes the time scale by less than half a second, it still wouldnt cause the time and world to collapse, it only causes this part of the effect and time bounces back to where it was before. This is Time Distortion Ross tried this two more times, but he could only affect the time scale in a very small quantity. On the one hand, time itself is extremely indestructible. On the other hand, the power of distortion in his body is still quite high compared to his physical power and he currently could not control it. If he overloaded the power of distortion to bend the time, he would be able to do it but in that case, he wouldnt know what would happen when the time scale bounces back, he cant predict that situation so he wont try it like this. It seems that I must continue to increase my physical strength. Ross stopped trying to use his new ability and blinked slightly. The ways to continually increase the strength of his physical body was not entirely lost on him, and he had already captured some of the mysteries of Kaidos body while studying its secrets. Moreover, Kaido is now one of his Incarnations. Taking some cells and flesh for research is naturally a trivial matter for him. I cant do that yet. Ross was not in any hurry and he put this issue aside and re-called the Interface of the Talent System. On the Talent System Interface, there are 100 Talent Proficiency Points that are still not used. The General Departments most powerful abilities have already reached a good proficiency level and reaching the Maximum Value for the remaining ones like Spirit Hearts and others would not be very meaningful. Ross thought about it and finally put the 100 Proficiency Points in Haoshoku Haki. The role of Haoshoku Haki is not only used to clear the cannon fodders, especially when he owns Soul Cutting Cursed Blade Murasame. Combined with Haoshoku Haki, the soul deterrence brought to his opponent is extraordinary. Improving Haoshoku Haki can also improve the power of mental shock ability. Buzz! 100 Talent Proficiency Points were put in Haoshoku Haki by Ross. As the golden light flashed, Ross also clearly noticed that the Haoshoku Haki contained in his body directly skyrocketed. If it bursts out, I am afraid that the characters such as Marine Vice-Admirals will lose their Battle power in front of his current Haoshoku Haki! Chapter 444 Time Distortion Chapter 445 2 Years Firearms Shooting: 50 Close-Combat Fighting: 100 Distortion Fruit: 1000 Soru of Marine s Rokushiki: 0 Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marine Rokushiki: 0 Gepp (Moonwalk) of Marine Rokushiki: 0 Observation Haki: 200 (Maximum Value) Armament Haki: 200 (Maximum Value) Haoshoku Haki: 100 On the Battle system panel, basically all the points are full, and the rest, such as Kami-e (Paper Drawing) and Gepp (Moonwalk), do not need to reach Max Value. His Agility has reached the Maximum Value and coupled with his Space ability, Rosss speed is completely comparable to Kizarus and he is even far above him. Shout. Ross thought and closed the panel. After exhaling, he landed downward and returned to the Sky Island Birka. After returning to Birka, Ross took an Eternal Pose and directly used the Space Distortion ability, continuously crossing the space along the direction of the Log Pose. After a moment. He arrived in the Country of Peace. Today, the Country of Peace is completely controlled by the Totto Land, Fujitora is overviewing the things here and the rest of the Division Captains has already taken the other islands of the Beast Pirates territory. However, even after occupying all the territories, it is necessary for them to eliminate all the forces belonging to Kaido, and then put their own people to control the islands. It will take some time. Ross is not concerned about these things as it is only a matter of time. Now that Totto Land is in full swing, the only threat to them is the World Government, and no other force, including the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates, can reach it. Even if Ross is not present and all the Incarnations are taken away. With Fujitora and Shiliew of the Rains battle powers, they are not afraid of Akagami (Red Hair) Pirate. Ross went straight to the forbidden palace area of ??the Kingdom of Peace. How is it, can anyone stand Jacks body? Before he walked in, Trafalgar Law had already appeared outside the palace. He was still inside the forbidden palace. In addition to Jack, who was imprisoned here, he also tried to use Personality Transplant Surgery to transform other combat powers for the Ghost Hand Pirates. No one is powerful enough to withstand Jacks body and the others are almost the same. Trafalgar Law spoke to Ross. Rosss Soul-Soul Fruit actually has a strong ability to hone the Will of others. Many members of the reserve team have improved their will after experiencing the magic of the Soul-Soul Fruit. Their original strength may not be comparable to the Pirates with bounties of 30 to 50 Million Berries but after passing through the Personality Transplant Surgery, they can almost perfectly control the body of an existence with a bounty of over 300 Million Berries. Their Battle power skyrocketed. Continue to try, if it is not possible, use my soul incarnation. Because of Jacks strength and his body, Ross has been interested in Jack. After all, he is really not bad and he is one of the Three Disasters. Understood. Trafalgar Law nodded while Ross and he walked into the palace. Hundred Beast Kaido was ordered by Ross to stay here after he became Rosss Beast Incarnation. Unless an enemy came in, he was forbidden to leave. Dont move. After arriving in front of the Beast Incarnation, Ross pulled out the Cursed Blade Murasame and coated the blade with a ray of the power of distortion and cut it towards Kaidos shoulder. Sii! The arc flashed through, and Kaidos shoulder was instantly cut. But in the next moment, the flesh on Kaidos shoulder squirmed quickly and new skin was quickly regenerated and gradually became the same as the original. After taking a piece of Kaidos flesh, Ross left the Country Of Peace. Trafalgar Law is a surgeon and there is very little research he can do on the cells. To study the essence of Kaidos body, it is natural to find Caesar. Quickly. Ross returned from the Country of Peace and came to the Cake Island base and delivered the flesh of Kaido to Caesars hands for research. Caesar was naturally excited when he got the flesh and blood of Kaido. Although his interest is more in the study of poisonous gas, he has long wanted to study the body of Kaido deeply as it is known as the undead body. Before Ross appeared, no one could help him get a piece of Kaido! I want to see the results as soon as possible. Ross saw Caesar took the piece of flesh and put it in a beaker and said plainly. Caesar was lazy and slippery sometimes. Caesar nodded again and again, and said with a smile on his face: Dont worry, Im a genius scientist! Leave it to me! If at the beginning Caesar had to work for Ross just because he was controlled by him then currently, he wants to work for Ross of his own accord. Even if he is in the laboratory, it is impossible not to know what is going on in the outside world. Today Totto Land has declared war on World Government. If Totto Land can defeat World Government, then he, as a member of Totto Land would be one of the architects of the new World Government. Even if his status is not comparable to those Division Captains, but to become the highest Scientific Force Base Chief and the greatest scientist in the new empire would probably be a casual thing to him. He had always wanted to surpass Vegapunk and now he had the chance to do so! After handing over Kaidos flesh to Caesar, Ross left the Cake Island. Time flies. Almost two years have passed since the war broke out. In the first six months, Marine Headquarters completed the reconstruction and relocation of the Headquarters to the original G-1 branch base and built a fortress that was better than Marinefond. Also. In order to fight against Totto Land, the World Government also started world conscription(Drafting Process) and re-established the highest combat strength of Marines. One year after the War Of The Best, Marine Headquarters completed their Battle Force reorganization. Aokiji succeeded as the Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral. As for the three Marine Admirals, they were Momousagi, Kizaru, and the Green Ox who was specially promoted by the World Conscription. It is worth mentioning that Tokikake was originally expected to be promoted to Admiral with Momousagi, but in the process of World Conscription, he lost a duel against the Green Ox. The world has always been about power, the strong lives and the weak die. Green Ox showed his strength and he is stronger than Tokikake. Even if Tokikake is old and had served the Marines for a long time, the position of the Marine Admiral still falls towards the Green Ox. During the restructuring of the Marine Headquarters, the friction between Totto Land, Marines, and the World Government continued and the Revolutionary Army also took this opportunity to fight against the World Government. Two years. Although there has never been a real fight that could be described as a War, at most a battle between Totto Lands Division Captain and Marine Headquarters Admiral have been initiated and there were no results as both parties retreated early but the atmosphere in the whole world has not been relaxed. Because both the strong and the weak civilians are well aware that this situation will not remain deadlocked for long and the situation between Totto Land and the World Government will soon come to an end sooner or later. That will be a vast battle beyond the War Of The Best and it will sweep the whole world! CHAPTER 446 DISSAPPEARED In this two-year period. In addition to the World Governments world conscription, Totto Lands expansion is actually much larger. Strictly speaking, as Marine Headquarters undergoes Battle Force reorganization in the first year, the World Government and the entire Marine Headquarters are actually shrinking, and they do not intend to collide with Totto Land at this time at all, and they have just created a defense against the expansion of Totto Land. In the first half-year. Totto Land fully accepted the territories of the Beast Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates. Marco and others finally chose to withdraw from the sea and they no longer have any idea of ??competing and winning. As for Fire Fist Ace, after finding the answer to his life, he also chose to quit. On the one hand, he no longer wants to pursue the status of Pirate king. On the other hand, Luffy is still moving forward for his dream and he didnt want to fight against Luffy. But he will also not join Luffy, so giving way is the best way. As the older brother, watching his younger brother set sail and chasing his dream is the best thing he can do. In the second half-year. Totto Land received the territories of the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates. The Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates also chose to withdraw. They were getting sandwiched between Totto Land and the World Government and the only choice they could make was to surrender to either party or voluntarily quit. Because once Totto Land and the World Government are about to start a decisive battle, it is unlikely that either side will see a Yonk (Four Emperors), and they will definitely take care of him first. Not having the strength to fight against Totto Land and the World Government and not wanting to join any side, Shanks finally chose to disband the Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates and retreated from the New World. That is also the time when Marine Headquarters completed the reorganization of its combat power and Totto Land completely ruled the entire New World and all the territories in the New World were their subordinates! Also. Totto Lands influence also expanded to North Blue and West Blue, which are also adjacent to the New World. They already have a lot of power in North Blue because of Germa 66. Under the powerful backing of Totto Land, they have nearly conquered the North Blue by more than half! As for West Blue, although they have no foundation there, it is still their first expansion area after Totto Land completely conquered the New World. In the second year. Totto Land conquered nearly half of West Blues site and their friction with World Government and Marines basically happened in the West Blue. For the New World and North Blue, which have been completely conquered by Totto Land, World Government gave up its plan to attack it in a short time and they only tried to stop the expansion of Totto Land in West Blue. The current Totto Land has nearly a hundred islands under its rules, although compared to World Government, it is still a lot less but there is no doubt that Totto Land has completely become a world government and they had established another empire! It is also worth mentioning that in the past two years, Luffy and the gang has not been broken up and they have entered the New World without showing any rashness. In the Wr Of The Best, all members of the Straw Hat Pirates realized their own insignificance. It was clear to them that if they went to the New World with their current strength than their hop hope for survival is too small. Finally, under Rayleighs proposal, they followed Rayleigh to learn Haki separately. And on this day. Luffy and others finally completed their training and bid farewell to Rayleigh in the Sabaody Archipelago Island and took the Coated Thousand Sunny Go to dive into the seabed and head towards the New World. But what puzzled Luffy and others was that they have already dived to the bottom of the sea below 10,000 meters and have found a passage to the New World, but they did not find the Fishman Island. Why didnt the Fishman Island appear Is it still in a deeper dept? Nami stood on the edge of the deck as she looked at the deeper seafloor and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes. According to her judgment and what Keimi had mentioned two years ago, Fishman Island should be right here but now it can not be found. There is no trace of Fishman Island. What Keimi had said at the time was that as long as they came to this sea area, they would definitely see the Fishman Island, because, in this deep-sea area, there are only large fishes and no Fishman Island. No Fishman Island Luffy was sullenly lying on the bow deck. He wanted to go to Fishman Island for an adventure, but now he cant find Fishman Island so he is naturally a little unhappy. By comparison, Sanji is even more depressed. He also wants to appreciate the beautiful figures of the legendary Mermaids. But now he only faces the dark seabed. In the heart of Totto Land, not far from Cake Island. On the sea here, a beautiful island is floating there. Looking at it closely. It is the Fishman Island that was supposed to be located below the Red Line! Because Totto Land has declared war on the World Government and Fishman Island is one of Totto Lands subordinates, it is obviously not a good choice to leave the Fishman Island in the position directly under the World Government and Marine Headquarters. Regardless of whether the World Government knows that Shirahoshi is then Ancient Weapon Sea King, Ross will not want to see the Fishman Island in danger. If not. Even if he destroyed the World Government and the Government controlled Shirahoshi and destroyed most of the worlds lives with the Sea Kings so that they would all die. How would that count as his victory? Relocating the Fishman Island is not too difficult for current Ross. His ability can be used underwater and it is not very laborious to lift a single Fishman Island. Seaside. Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi is lying on the beach and basking in the sun. Robin and Reiju and others are also lying next to her in swimsuits and enjoying rare leisure time. Ross simply lay on Shirahoshis body. His body weight was like the weight of a doll to Shirahoshi and Shirahoshi was a little happier compared to it because she could still chat with Ross while basking in the sun. Robin turned a blind eye to Rosss actions. You are growing up, Shirahoshi. Ross didnt come to the Fishman Island often after moving it over. He hadnt come in the last three months. It must be said that Shirahoshis body grew fast in the past two years and she became bigger every few months. Her current size is basically the same as that of the Giants. Actually Shirahoshi doesnt want to grow so big. Shirahoshi opens her mouth slightly sulkily. She is much bigger than her brothers, father, and her Mother queen, and in many cases, being smaller is more convenient. I think you look cute. Ross smiled. If Shirahoshi had been the size of a normal human, he would have lost some of his cute resting spots. At least there would be no way for him to sleep on Shirahoshis chest. Shirahoshi, as Mermaid, has a slightly lower body temperature than humans. It just gives people a cool feeling. As for the delicateness of her skin, it is enough to crush all giants, not to mention giants, even Robin cant be compared to her. If you want to compare, the Pirate Empress can be compared to her but the Pirate Empress wins in charm and temperament department, but Shirahoshis skin is even more delicate than Hancocks. CHAPTER 447 BUILDING UP Is is it? Shirahoshi spoke weakly. Ross sat there and looked at her with a smile: Naturally. While Ross was talking with Shirahoshi, a Den Den Mushi rang beside Robin lying not far away. She opened her eyes and answered the Den Den Mushi. Ok, I know. After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, she came to Shirahoshi and looked up at Ross sitting on Shirahoshis shoulder, and said, The Straw Hats has appeared in the New World. The existence of Luffy and the gang had little impact on the war between Totto Land and the World Government. Ross paid a little attention to them because of the existence of Nami. If she came to Totto Land to manage the finances in the future, it would be quite good. Where are they? Dressrosa, Robin responded softly. Dressrosa is also subordinate to the Totto Land. As long as they dont cause any trouble, dont pay them much attention, if they want to find Road Poneglyph, then let them find it. Ross didnt care. The entire New World has been under the control of Totto Land, and the content of the Poneglyph stone monument has been almost completely collected. Robin didnt need to go to Raftel at all, she has already learned the truth of the Void Century by translating the Poneglyph. The Empire they have built is also good. Not to mention the World Government. After all, history is just history, and time will not stop for anyone. After sunbathing for a while at the beach, Ross left the beach of the Fishman Island and went deep into the secret base of the Cake Island. There are darkness and depression here, in the darkness, there are five shadows. They are the Beast Incarnation(Kaido), Hell Incarnation(Enel), Preta Incarnation(Katakuri), Asura Incarnation(Golden Lion) and Whitebeard II Edward Weevil incarnation. Weevil emerged in New World after the War Of The Best and became Shichibukai of the World Government and hunted down the old party of the Whitebeard Pirate regiment, such as Marco, but he ran into the expanding Totto Land. Even the World Government was reluctant to confront Totto Land in the first year because Marines has not yet completed the reorganization of their combat power, so they wouldnt move against them let alone for a Weevil whose brain is obviously not working very well. Weevils strength is indeed very strong. He achieved a tie against the Third Division Captain Ficheux Erman, Ficheux Erman did not take advantage of Weevils weakness and even suffered a small loss. After Shiliew of the Rain learned about this, he had planned to go there himself but Ross also got the news and he stopped Shiliew and went there in person. In front of Ross, Weevil was naturally unable to resist even a few moves. After defeated him, Ross took Weevil back to the Cake Island and made him the fifth incarnation, the last incarnation Cursed Blade Murasame could bear. Five puppet incarnations, plus the Hurricane Incarnation. It can be said that Rosss strength alone is enough to defeat all the forces in the bright and dark areas of the Marine Headquarters, including Garp. Its almost time Looking at the five puppets incarnation that exudes different strengths and auras, Ross murmured deeply. The puppet incarnations are ready, and the Ancient Weapon Sea King and Pluton are also in his hands. As for Uranus he has searched for it based on the Poneglyph stone, but he has not been able to find it. The only thing lacking in the moment is he himself. Caesar had studied Kaidos cells and finally developed a special agent that can greatly increase the physical strength, but not everyone can bear it. Ross used this potion but because his physique is already outrageous, the improvement is not obvious. It only improves a little. Fortunately, there is an improvement. In addition to the medicine, Ross is also continuing to develop and enhance his physical potential based on his analysis of Kaido cells. As his flesh becomes harder and harder, Ross is gradually able to fully grasp the soaring power of distortion. The only difficulty is. The power of Time Distortion, Ross has not been able to master it so far. The time scale is elastic, and its not an easy force to master, and if a force like this isnt handled well enough before using it in a battle then the outcome would not be good for anyone, Ross included. So after his physical body broke through the final limit and he finally mastered increased the power of distortion, he began to train the ability of Time Distortion, trying to achieve perfect control. The weakened version of Caesars potion is very effective. Trafalgar Law appeared behind Ross and said: It is difficult for humans to adapt to that potion but Germa 66s cloned soldiers do not have this problem. All cloned soldiers are equipped with this agent and their strength has been increased by 50%. Thats good. Ross put his hands on his back and answered casually. To the current him, these are actually just small things. What he has to consider now is when to launch the final battle against the World Government! Get ready. Ross looked at the five puppet incarnations in the dark and turned slowly, he looked at the ceiling and as if seeing through the steel wall, he saw the boundless sky. The battle will soon come in the near future. Hearing Rosss words, even though Laws character was calm, he couldnt help but take a deep breath at this moment and his eyes flashed with a little light. The final battle Against the World Government! When he followed Ross in the beginning, he never thought that the Ghost Hand Pirates would reach the level they had today. At that time, he thought that it was enough if they could kill Doflamingo. But now. Totto Land has wiped out all the Yonks (Four Emperors) and governs the entire New World, they are confronting the World Government and they had secretly accumulated such a huge Battle force. This world has already turned upside down. CHAPTER 448 PART 1 Half a month later. Luffy and the gang arrived at Zou Island and found the first Road Poneglyph on Zou Island, and then they came to the cake island to find the second Road Poneglyph. During this period, Ross just chated with Nami and let Luffy and his gang leave, without stopping them, and let them go to the Country of Peace. Luffys group found the third Road Poneglyph in the Kingdom of Peace, which was originally Kaidos property. Then. They found the last piece of Road Poneglyph, and finally arrived at the final island Raftel and they found the last secret left behind by the Pirate King Gold Roger. If it was a few years ago, this would have been a piece of big news that would have shaken the whole world, but in the current times, this incident is almost next to nothing, it is like a drop of water falling into the ocean. The attention of the world is no longer on the name of the Pirate King. Because at the same time when Luffy and others arrived at Raftel, Totto Land started the conquest of New World in the core Cake Island their first battle force assembled and all the powers in the Totto Land assembled on the Cake Island! For the first time. And For the last time. Everyone knows what the full combat strength of Totto Land means, including the World Government. Such a big movement cant be hidden from the World Government. When the fighting forces were assembled in Totto Land, the World Government also began to prepare and when this news traveled to the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) in the Pangaea Castle. Almost all five people said the same sentence. Finally, they are coming. The front side of Cake Island. After Ross destroyed the BIGMOM Pirates, Golden Lion had once threw down an entire island on it, which was later flattened by Ross and now it is used as a training ground. At the moment, it is also a gathering plaza. The entire island was flattened by Ross so its flatness and spaciousness exceed the square area in front of the Marine Headquarters. Now. A lot of people have been scattered in this square, some of them are Living porters and handymen on Cake Island, and some are people from various teams. A ship is coming! Its the ship of Seventh Division! In the distant sea, seven ships, headed by a single ship with the symbol of the number seven slowly sailed towards the shore. Many handymen saw this ship and couldnt help but get excited. Although some of them have also seen the Division Captains before but today is going to be different as all the combat powers of Totto Land would be coming here and this id the first time for these lowest-level handymen of Totto Land that they would be able to watch a scene like this. Ooh, it seems like we got here first. On the ship with the number seven on the sail, Laffitte wearing a white down jacket and a high-ceremonial hat walked down and glanced at the square and smiled. Standing next to him was the Vice-Captain of the Seventh Division. He looked at the sea in the distance and said, Look, the people of the Third Division have also arrived. There. A ship with the number Three on the sail also approached the coast and behind it was a fleet of six ships. He wouldnt dare to be late, lets go. Laffitte smiled and walked towards the square while carrying the red wooden cane in his hand. The square was very empty at this moment. Laffitte led his Vice-Captain, as well as the rest of his Division members, and reached all the way to the front of the square. Behind him. There are thousands of members of the Seventh Division, all dressed in neat black cloaks and they all followed their Division Captain to the square, with the same number of them remaining on the ships. Its Division Captain Laffitte and the elites of the Seventh Division! Some people looked at the neatly-dressed people that had appeared on the square from afar. All of them looked calm, showing a faint sense of the majestic Seventh Division, and people could not help but murmur in awe. Shortly after the arrival of Laffitte, Ficheux Erman dressed in the same white, but with the number three behind him also boarded the square. Yo, you got here early. Ficheux Erman led his subordinates, who were about a thousand people, all the way to the front of the square. Except for his Vice-Captain, who was also dressed in the same white down cloak, the other members of his team wore all black cloaks with number Three neatly embroidered in them. These uniform coats and cloaks were naturally made in Totto Land half a month ago and they were fully distributed to everyone a week ago. Third Division Captain Ficheux Erman is here too! I heard that Division Captain Ficheux Erman was in West Blue not long ago and the Marines suffered a big loss in his hand. I didnt expect to see him here. There was a look of awe on someones face. Currently, Totto Land is ruling the New World, and the Division Captains ranks is second only to Ross who is the highest ruler an power of Totto Land. Usually, he is the big man who can only be looked at from afar. It is always right to come earlier if you can make it. Laffitte smiled at Ficheux Erman. He knew that Ficheux Erman had fought in a battle in West Blue, but he was later hunted down by Kizaru and had to retreat. After the Battle ended, he had received an order from Totto Land to gather all his people and he immediately rushed back here, but he was still the second one to arrive. If I hadnt made it, Im afraid I wouldnt have been able to wear this. FicheuxErman curled his lip and looked at the Elite Seventh Division and his Elite Third Division assembled in the square, all of them wearing black clocks with the number Three embroidered on the back and there was a wave of excitement in his heart. How long they have waited for all the Battle Forces to gather together like this? Even when attacking Hundred Beast Kaido, it was only some of the Division Captains that went to his Territory with Ross, and their full force wasnt deployed. This time it would be the whole gathering. All the battle powers and Elite of the entire Totto Land will be gathered here! CHAPTER 449 ENTERING THE STAGE In Totto Land, the Eighth Division and the Ninth Division are nominally similar to the other Divisions, but in fact, they are still special in the fact that they have a great level of autonomy. Todays Eighth Division, Germa 66, is responsible for managing and ruling the entire North Blue in Totto Lands name and they govern far more islands than other Divisions. Ninth Division has been stationed in the Amazon Lily Island but no one has ever seen Ninth Division being dispatched. Even if Totto Land has fought several local wars with the World Government, not one member of the Ninth Division has shown up, so many people have forgotten the existence of the Ninth Division. How can I not come to such a grand event. Judge walked down from the ship and he caught Laffittes words from a long distance due to the special scientific equipment he equipped and responded calmly to Laffitte. Next to Judge is the Vice-Captain Reiju and then Niji and others, all of them have calm expressions on their faces. Step! Step! Step! It was a thousand Clone Soldiers who followed Judge and others off the ship. These thousand Clone Soldiers are special products of Germa 66. They are all equipped with Scientific Equipment and have undergone a joint transformation of Caesar. Compared with ordinary clone soldiers, they are stronger and better. The thousand cloned soldiers were all wearing black cloaks and embroidered the number Eight on their backs. All of them were expressionless. Their footsteps were like the real army. Is that Germas invincible legion? I heard that they are all clone soldiers who are not even afraid of death Someone looked at the neat and magnificent Eighth Division team and couldnt help but murmur with a hint of awe. Judge led the Scientific Force Base team and came to the right of the Seventh Division to stand here. This is the position of the Eighth Division team. You are here, how is the situation in North Blue? Laffitte looked at Judge who came and asked with a smile. Judge said calmly: All the forces in North Blue have surrendered so there will be no rebellion, as for the World Government I dont think they would have the time to go to North Blue to look for trouble. Totto Lands entire team has gathered its fighting strength. With such a huge movement, the World Government would not remain deaf and blind. I am afraid they have already received this news as early as a few days ago. At this time, the World Government is also gathering its Battle forces from all over the World and they have gathered all the troops in Holy Land Mariejois and the new Marine Headquarters to prepare for the forthcoming World War. Oh, the Giant Unit is here too. Judge was chatting with Laffitte for a while and suddenly his eyes flickered as he looked at the sea behind Laffitte. There, a huge ship came amidst the wind and waves. Although there is only one ship, the size of this ship is many times larger than other ships. This is the ship of the Fifth Division Giant Unit. There is only one ship, but one ship also represents an Invincible power, the power to dominate the entire sea. In Judges eyes. In the other Division Teams, except for the Battle strength of Division Captain and the Vice Division Captain, the others strength is not worth mentioning. The only thing that makes him feel amazing is the Fifth Division Giant Unit. The number of members of the Giant Unit is very small, but all of them are giants. Each of them has a very powerful Battle force, and all of them are fearless to death. They all have the militant and brave character of the Giant family. In particular, the cadres, such as the Sand Giant Road, and others are like killing machines on the battlefield. Germa 66 was able to conquer the North Blue because of the Fifth Divisions largest contribution to the war effort. Wherever the giant regiment went, any country was terrified and they surrendered. They even caused many extreme headaches for the World Government and Marines. Bang! Bang! Bang! The Giant Corps ship leaned against the shore and a total of thirty giants stepped down from the ship one after another. Their pace was neat and every step they took caused a small earthquake. The first Giant to disembark the Ship had an upper naked body with black hair having a faint flash of lightning arc. He is the Fifth Division Captain, Thunder Giant Hajrudin! Fifth Division is the only team that does not have all black capes, and the Division Captain is not equipped with white down jackets, but even without a neat uniform, this unit is still filled with fierce and wild spirits, which makes countless people feel awe and fear! Currently. The Giant Corps has already become the most invincible Corps in this world! Long time no see, Hajrudin. Judge greeted Hajrudin. One year ago, after the Giant Corps assisted the Eighth Division in conquering the North Blue, they evacuated North Blue and entered the West Blue battlefield. Hajrudin looked down at Judge. For Judge, it was a long time not seeing him for a year, but for Giants whose concept of time is different from humans, it was the same difference in time between the morning and evening meal. Master Ross hasnt arrived yet? The Sand Giant Road stood behind Hajrudin and asked. He is the first Giant to get a Devil Fruit. Although he is under Hajrudin, he is the Vice-Captain of the Fifth Division. In the conversation between the Division Captains, the Vice Division Captains are very tacit and did not interrupt them, but the Giants do not have so many ideas, they have always been known for being straight. He probably wont arrive until everyone is here. Ficheux Erman shrugged and didnt care about Road Interrupting the Division Captains. Giants are Giants, and they are not the same as humans. Fujitora looked on as usual, and Shiliew didnt care much. Um the Fourth Division hasnt arrived yet. Road looked at the square and because he was a giant, he stood there and took a glance around him and he clearly saw that there were all One, Two, Three, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, all divisions are on the square except for the Fourth Division. Almost as he finished speaking, a huge sound of footsteps passed in the direction of cake island. Everyone looked up. They saw the Fourth Division Captain Trafalgar Law carrying the Cursed Blade (Yt) Kikoku and leading about 300 members of the Fourth Division to the side of the square. These three hundred members are not the elite of the Fourth Division, but the whole staff of the Fourth Division. As a medical force, the number of members in the Fourth Division is the smallest except for the Fifth Division, but because of the special nature of the medical force, its status is no different from other teams. In the eyes of other Division Captains, the relationship between Trafalgar Law and Ross is the closest except for Robin. The core base of the Cake Island and the core palace of the Kingdom of Peace has prohibited anyone from stepping in, even the Division Captains cant step inside. Only Trafalgar Law and Robin are an exception to that rule. With the arrival of the Fourth Division. In the whole square, Eight Division teams are listed in different formations, and because they are all elite from different Division teams, they all have strong momentum. The white down cloak of the Division Captains and the black standard cape of the Elite Members, their uniform arrangement in the square with their combined momentum seems to be suffocating! CHAPTER 450 TOGETHER Time passed by. Although the people present were the Elites and Division Captains of the Totto Land, but no one showed any impatience while waiting here because everyone knows who they are waiting for. He started from being an ordinary Pirate Hunter to becoming a pirate that ran across the sea, he then reached the New World and laid down Totto Land and finally establish the current Totto Land, facing the World Government across the sea. It can be said that even the Pirate King Rogers legend is no match for Ross. And Roger has been dead for 22 years, but Ross is alive and he is in the prime of his age! While everyone in the square was waiting quietly for Rosss arrival, a ship suddenly appeared on the distant sea. Another ship is coming. It doesnt seem to be ours. No, that seems to be the Ninth Division that has never appeared! Some people looked at the coming ship, and there was a little confusion in their eyes. Others recognized the origin of the ship, and their eyes shone. The Ninth Division, which has never appeared, is here today! When the ship docked on the shore, a woman wearing a purple cheongsam and with incomprehensible beauty stepped down from the ship. Her face was cold and noble, and her every move seemed to contain a charm that ensnares the mind, leaving countless people lost. Is that the Legendary Pirate Empress? No I should say that she is the Ninth Division Captain, Boa Hancock! Someone awakened from Hancocks charm and a trace of cold sweat spilled from his forehead as he spoke slowly and dignifiedly. Hancock led the female warriors of the Amazon Lily Island and came to the square step by step. She did not turn her head, but the afterglow of her eyes swept across the square. They are all unsightly men. With only one glance, she looked back. Are they the female warrior of the legendary Amazon Lily Island? They look pretty good. Judge stood at the forefront of the Eighth Division team and watched Hancock lead many female fighters and came to the position on his right, looking sideways. Among Totto Land, Judge is the Captain of the Eighth Division team. Although he is not closely related to the other Seven Division, he still has frequent contacts with them. But Ninth Division is completely hidden in the dark, no matter whether it is a war or a big event, they have never been seen before. This is the first time that many Division Captains present here have seen the Empress. Hancock glanced at Judge, and then withdrew her gaze as she did not desire to communicate with Judge. She came this time only for the War that will overthrow the World Government. Although the Amazon Lily Island is isolated from the rest of the world and she rarely leaves the Amazon Lily Island, she still keeps learning the latest news from Elder Nyon. Ross destroyed the Beast Pirates. Ross declared War on the World Government in Marine Headquarters. She knows all about it, she even knew about the local wars between Totto Land and the World Government that have taken place over the past two years. It was impossible for her to ignore such things, for in her heart, the things she hated most, were the Tenryubito, who ruled the world! In the old days. Tenryubito represented the sky and the world. No one was qualified to challenge the world, even Yonk (Four Emperors) Pirates werent qualified. The World Government was like an insurmountable giant peak, standing there, standing still, and making her feel numb and desperate in her heart and she never thought about revenge. But now. The dawn of the downfall of Tenryubito has appeared. The hatred hidden in the deepest part of that numbness and despair was ignited in an instant. Almost as soon as she got the news, she decided to participate in this war! She wound not pay attention to other things. She would not participate in the local war between Totto Land and World Government, but she will naturally come for the War against the Holy Land Mariejois! The place that has caused her pain for more than ten years, this time, it will be completely destroyed! The appearance of Hancock caused a lot of riots. Although Hancock did not deliberately release her charm power, it still distracted many people in the square. Fortunately, all those standing on this square are the Elites of Totto Land. Although they will be affected by Hancocks charm, if Hancock does not deliberately use her ability, it will not cause too great of an impact and they can still bear it. Time continued to pass, and half an hour passed in a flash. At last. A voice rang above the square. You are all here. They saw a special white cloud floating tool that slowly landed from the sky. There were two figures standing on the island cloud. One was Ross, and the other was Robin. Instead of letting Robin meet with Sixth Division in advance, she was asked to follow him directly, which was naturally Rosss opinion. The Division Captains of the Nine Division saw Robin standing at Rosss side with different looks, but no one said anything. They all silently withdrew their eyes. Standing in front of the Ninth Division, Hancock looked at Robin for a little longer, then hummed and looked away. At the moment in the square, the Giants of the Fifth Division are at the very center, and then two sides are filled with One, Two, Three, Four, and Six, Seven, Eight, Nine Divisions, a total of Nine Divisions, each lined up. There is no need to look so serious. Ross stepped off from the white cloud and came directly in front of the square. He glanced at the people on the square and smiled lightly, saying: But the momentum must be there. You are also the most Elite Members of Totto Land. The expressions on Shiliew and others faces did not change at Rosss words but the Elites Members in black cloaks all looked up. For them, Ross is a living legend. Many of them havent seen Ross before. They can hear Ross call them the Elites of Totto Land. For them, they also feel that this is enough glory for them. I think it goes without saying that you should all have guessed what was to be done in this meeting today. Ross looked down at the crowd below and said flatly: New World is already our turf, North Blue and West Blue almost all belong to the Totto Land, but there are still East Blue and South Blue and the first half of the Grand Line, these are still firmly guarded by the World Government. But it is a pity that Totto Land does not intend to let the World Government have it anymore, or that it is no longer necessary. Ross looked at the crowd in the square, he opened his arms slightly and said: Look at you standing here, I think that another war will end all this. And the goal of this war is to destroy Holy Land Mariejois! With Rosss words swaying in the square, whether it is the Elites of many Division teams or the Division Captains such as Shiliew of the Rain, they cant help but feel their heartbeat increase. Finally, this day has come! From struggling to survive on the sea to New World and competing with Yonk (Four Emperors), Totto Land has finally come to today, and it is only the last battle away from completely conquering the world! Many people present felt that conquering the sea, conquering the Grand Line, and becoming the King of Pirates were already very far away goals, but in a flash, they had already passed all this. The sea has already been stepped under. Now there is only one enemy left, which is the one who has ruled the world for 800 years The World Government! CHAPTER 451 Red Line. This is the central point where the Grand Line and Red Line intersect. It is also the original G1 branch base of Holy Land Mariejois and Marines and it is now the location of the new Marine Headquarters. Unlike Marine Ford, the new Marine Headquarters is closer to Holy Land, almost directly under the Red Line, and both of them can be said to be connected together, only separated by the height of the Red Line. Now. On the Red Line, the World Government is currently gathering its strength. Standing on the fort is World Government Commander-in-Chief Steel Bone Kong. He will take over the command of the battle against Totto Lands upcoming decisive battle. There is no other way. Marines alone cant fight against the current Totto Land, so Aokiji, as Marine Fleet Admiral is obviously not qualified to be the Commander-In-Chief of the war. And in this battle, Garp chose to retire as he had no intention to participate in this war, he only protects justice, not Tenryubito. Without Garp, Marine can be said to have one less Battle force. The Elites of the South Blue branch has not yet arrived? Steel Bone Kong stood on the fort and watched the coming and going of Marines and World Government subordinates troops. Reporting to Commander, they are almost here, and they will arrive in half an hour at most. A Marine Rear Admiral next to him reports. Steel Bone Kong nodded asked again: What about Vegapunks side, has the Battle force he studied come? It has arrived. The Marine Vice-Admiral, who was in charge of contacting Scientific Force Base, responded. Steel Bone Kong nodded, said: Thats a powerful fighting force comparable to Shichibukai. Even if Shichibukai has been torn apart, it can replace Shichibukais existence as the main fighting force. In the last two years. The Shichibukai plan was scrapped. Most of the Shichibukai were either dead or seriously injured and some of them withdrew, there are two people who were still sitting in Shichibukais post but they did not come to this emergency call. There is no doubt that these Shichibukai did not want to conflict with Totto Land at all. In a war where Totto Land and the World Government will collide head-on, even Shichibukai is very likely to become cannon fodder. With the order issued one by one, the elite of Marine and the government forces finally completed the assembly on the Red Line! 300,000 Elite Soldiers! They are not 300,000 ordinary soldiers as most of them are Elites, of which Marines occupies 200,000, and the government army has 100,000. Marines troops, in order of rank, have different standing positions in the front and rear. The lowest-ranking Marines and non-commissioned officers stand at the bottom of the ranks, and the officers in the cloak of justice went forward, and the generals go further. In front of the generals, there are a total of 20 Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral, of which the most central one is Tokikake, one of the Admiral candidates and his ranking in Vice-Admiral is naturally the first. Standing in front of Tokikake, there are three Marine Admirals of Marine Headquarters, the highest battle power of the World Government. Momousagi! Kizaru! And Green Ox! Vice-Admirals are all here And Admirals. These Elites members came from all over the world from all branch bases, they looked at the twenty Headquarters Vice-Admirals standing in front of them and Marine Admirals who are known as the highest Battle force, and they couldnt help but feel a bit excited. It is worth mentioning that one of the twenty Headquarters Vice-Admiral has also become another Alternate Admiral candidate. As a disciple of Garp, during the two years of confrontation with Totto Land, he went through numerous battles and made many breakthroughs in the Battle. Now he has mastered the top Observation Haki of Future Prediction. Although his strength is much worse than Luffy, who is now the King of Pirates, he still stands in the position of an Alternate Admiral and he is also known as the person most likely to succeed Kizaru. Reporting Commander Kong, Marine Headquarters Battle forces have been assembled. Aokiji stood at the forefront of the Marine camp, wearing a large justice clock of Marine embroidered with golden badges representing Marine Fleet Admirals position, and reported to Steel Bone Kong. Steel Bone Kong used to be Marine Fleet Admiral and when Steel Bone Kong served as Marine Fleet Admiral, he had just gotten promoted from Rear Admiral to Vice Admiral. Now two decades have passed. Steel Bone Kong is already the World Government Commander In Chief and he has also become Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral. Good. Steel Bone Kong nodded and turned to look at the other side. Report Commander Kong, the governments Battle Forces has been assembled! The person who reported this was a dark-skinned man who was the supreme commander of the government army. In a world where the sea occupies most of the area, government forces are much worse than Marines. Their usual mission is to protect the Red Line and Tenryubito. It can be said that Government forces often exist because of Tenryubito. But because of this, even though the Government army is much weaker than the Marines, it is still strong enough to fight. The Chief Leader of the Government Army has battle force equivalent to Aokiji and other Admirals while Vice Chiefs Battle power is not much different. Everyone, according to the order, arranged in strict order and wait until the enemy appeared, there must be no moment of relaxation! Steel Bone Kong spoke to the assembled Marines and government forces, and the slightly old voice exploded like a thunder in the square. Yes! Marine and the Government army echoed in unison. After giving his orders to the Marines and the Government forces, Steel Bone Kong looked back. There are ten teams there. They are World Governments spy agencies, referred to as CPTtroops, they have completed the assembly from CP0 to CP9! You are all here. Steel Bone Kong glanced at the crowd and his eyes stopped on the person at the center of the team and at the front. The person he is looking at is the CP0s New Chief. Although his status is one level lower than that of his Commander In Chief position, he is directly under Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and he can not command him at will without Goroseis orders. The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) has ordered that all my staff and I will be dispatched under the command of Commander. CP0s Chief murmured at Steel Bone Kong. Steel Bone Kong was not surprised by this. Since Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) has given him all the missions of formation and command, he will definitely not have a force that can do whatever they want under his command. During this extraordinary period, the CP forces must also obey his orders. Then Red Lines security work will be handed over to you. Once you find any trace of the enemy, you will immediately report to me. If you are too late and cannot come here then you will directly release the signal bomb. Steel Bone Kong ordered to CP0 and others. The members of CP0 and other spy agencies all responded with coldness, and then quickly assigned their own missions. So far. World Government Battle force has also completely assembled! CHAPTER 452 FALLS Holy Land Mariejois. Inside the Pangaea Castle, the war command headquarters. After the deployment, MarineAdmiral, Fleet Admiral, Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong, and chief Staff Officer Tsuru and others gathered in this office. Mariejois and Marine Headquarters are adjacent, Marine Headquarters can be used as the first line of defense, but in order to prevent them from directly attacking Holy Land from behind, Marine Headquarters is only a strategic point, and it is necessary to withdraw all Battle forces to Holy Land when necessary. Steel Bone Kong looked at the map on the table and propped the table with his hands. If all Battle forces withdraw to Holy Land, it would be equivalent to giving up the Marine Headquarters. The expressions on Aokiji and other Marines faces were not good, but there is no other way. For the Government, the importance of the Holy Land naturally exceeds that of Marine Headquarters. The question is, how will they attack? Great Staff Officer Tsuru put her arms on the table and her hands folded under her chin, she said: They have too many offensive methods, it is impossible to effectively respond to and guard against every possibility. Steel Bone Kong said in silence, It is indeed so, we can only try to respond to the most likely situation. The Marine Admirals who were present at the meeting all showed their indignant colors. And at this time. A Marine Vice-Admiral suddenly rushed into the meeting room, his face full of nervousness and his forehead filled with cold sweat as he said: Report! Our reporting Seagulls on the Totto Land have all been shot down, and we have lost all sources of intelligence! Sure enough, they wont easily let us perceive their intentions. The Great Staff Officer Tsuru did not show any unexpected expressions. When Whitebeard attacked, he also sank all the surveillance battleships and seagulls. All hands on deck! General Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong straightened his body and said with a strong tone: They are coming! Whether the world can still exist will depend on everyone here! Aokiji took a deep breath and did not speak. Kizaru took a sip of tea and said a sentence in his heart that he wanted to go home to support his old age. Momousagi showed no emotion and her hand always touched the sword sheath hanging around her waist, feeling the coldness of the sword sheath. Quickly. Everyone in the conference room pushed out the door and went to different positions. Kizaru, Momousagi, and Aokiji returned to Marine Headquarters, as they were the frontline Battle force guarding the Marine Headquarters. The speed and resourcefulness of the three of them are also the most appropriate. Once Totto Land attacks Holy Land Mariejois directly, they can also reach Holy Land from Marine Headquarters at any time. Green Ox was left in the Holy Land Mariejois with the alternate Admiral Tokikake, these two are responsible for the defense of the Holy Land because Tokikake has the ability of Future Prediction, once it is found that Totto Land had raided them from the rear of the Red Line, he can take the fastest reaction. Guarding on both sides of Holy Land are the government army and spy agency CP0. As for the overall army Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong, he and Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) and others sat together at the core of Holy Land Mariejois to cope with any possible situation. Dispersing the troops to attack from all directions, or concentrating their forces to attack from one direction, how would you choose, Ghost Hand Steel Bone Kong stands at the top of the fort and he overlooked the entire Holy Land Mariejois, everything is under his eyes. Time gradually passed. One hour Two hours Although the World Government has contracted all of its Battle forces to Holy Land Mariejois, the intelligence forces are still scattered on the sea. At this moment, even if he can get any position information about Totto Lands strength, it is worth a lot of money. To sacrifice a Battleship for this is nothing. But. Four or five hours passed and the Scout Battleship scattered in New World failed to detect any intelligence about Totto Land. The huge force assembled by Totto Land suddenly seems to disappear. It is hidden in the dark at the moment and it may appear from any direction at any time. Tension and Depression were spreading. All kinds of breathless atmosphere pervade the whole Holy Land Mariejois. As time went on, Steel Bone Kong and others did not relax their vigilance because they did not obtain any intelligence, because the General Great Staff Officer Tsuru analyzed that Ross has always been resolute and since he has completed the gathering of combat power, then there will be no delay. Today is bound to be the day of the decisive battle! And in this decisive battle, Totto Land has also issued an announcement to the world a day ago, in this battle, the World Government will be completely destroyed. Oh? Just as Steel Bone Kong, with his deep and penetrating eyes, looked down on Holy LandMariejois, sitting in the heart of town, waiting for Totto Lands attack, he suddenly sensed something was wrong. The air seems to be getting a little depressed. It is not the repression of the atmosphere, but the air becomes oppressive, as the density of the air throughout the Holy Land suddenly rises. At first, there was nothing, but as time went by, the air density began to rise and rise, making Steel Bone Kongs face suddenly changed. He had a vague idea. Could it be that Steel Bone Kong, whose face changed dramatically, looked up to the sky. At almost the same time, CP0s Chief, and Kenbonshoku (Observation)s Tokikake, Kirby, and others, all looked up to the sky. Oh No! Tokikakes face changed dramatically. Kirby, who guarded the Marine Headquarters, was also shocked, and said, It turned out to be such an attack this is not something we had expected at all! After Tokikake and Kirby and others first reacted, Aokiji Kizaru and others were almost aware and they all looked up to the sky. Countless Vice-Admirals and Rear Admirals of Marine Headquarters, as well as the governments army, all showed horrified and incredible looks on their faces. They saw that above that dome, at a height unknown, a dark shadow appeared, and the dark shadow was falling towards Holy Land Mariejois. When they looked closely, they found that it is not a dark shadow but an island, a large island, and a large island that can hold a country! That Island is falling! There is no doubt that this is the attack from Totto Land, the prelude to the decisive battle! Damn They can actually move an island to the sky. Steel Bone Kongs face became very ugly. It is not that they did not expect Totto Land to attack from the sky, but if an attack comes from the sky, there will be some time, which is enough time for Holy Lands Battle force to quickly gather. But. They had never expected an island like this falling directly from the sky! To be able to take an island to the sky, and still be such a large island, isnt that the power of the dead Golden Lion? Could it be that Float-Float Fruit was acquired by Totto Land? The ability of this Devil Fruit will bring a huge trouble! CHAPTER 453 ATTACKING Theres trouble up there! Holy Land is in danger! After the expressions on Momousagi and others faces changed, they all jumped from the Marine Headquarters and used Gepp (Moonwalk) to rush towards the Holy Land Mariejois above the Red Line. The falling speed of the island is getting faster and faster and it looked as if the sky is sinking. Many Tenryubitos inside Holy Land saw this scene and the expressions on their faces were beyond something that can be described as fear. They were Tenryubito, descendants of the Gods who created this world. How could they encounter such a terrifying disaster? Some Tenryuubito were so scared that they directly passed out and fell to the floor. There are also some older Tenryubitos with strong psychological endurance, whose faces are extremely ugly at this moment, and they are holding a delicate jade cane in their hands and thinking about one thing. Would our rule end here? No! This is not possible! The Lord is still in the Holy Land and they also possess many means and the World Government has never been shaken in the past Eight Hundred Years. No one can overthrow the World Government. It is impossible for anyone to take their Noble Tenryubito Status from them and push them down! How terrible are they to drop an entire island on us Kizaru was the first one to come over the Holy Land. His arms were staggered in front of him, and the bright golden light came together. He directly used Eight Shaku Curved Jewel (Yasakani no Magatama) and hit it towards the falling island. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of Bang and explosions erupted in the sky. However, if Kizaru wanted to stop a large island that is falling from the sky towards them with just an Eight Shaku Curved Jewel (Yasakani no Magatama) alone then obviously, he is still somewhat delusional. It suits me that the air is compressed so closely. CP0s Chiefs eyes flashed with a cold light. He snorted and his hands flicked toward the sky, he fired a high-density air compression cannon towards the falling Island. Like Kizarus Eight Shaku Curved Jewel (Yasakani no Magatama), this attack caused a constant explosion on the entire island, and countless stones splashed and shattered everywhere, turning into dust. Net! Momousagi didnt have any flashy attacks. In the moment when she rushed to the Holy Land, she directly cleaved towards the falling island with her sword. The sword energy was intertwined in an instant and rushed towards the island. At the same time, Aokiji is also using his Ice-Ice Devil Fruit, attacking the falling island with his ice attacks. World Governments subordinates top fighting powers have moved to attack one after another. For a time, it seems that the most beautiful fireworks in the world are intertwined and exploded above the sky. Kch! Kch! Withstanding so many top Battle force attacks, the falling island is finally unable to bear and there is a sound of cracking as it began to fall apart. Its breaking! Be careful! Commander Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong, who has never attacked said after the Island began to fall apart. It is not difficult to break the island, but after the island is broken, those fragments will not disappear but will continue to fall down, causing devastating disaster to Holy Land. Therefore, in order to elevate the disaster, these fragments must be blocked or destroyed. Ice Age! Black jail! Air swamp! In the moment when the island broke apart, many Marine Admiral and top Battle forces changed their means, large Ice cubes, dense air, and Gravity powers were used on the falling debris. Of the innumerable collapsed fragments, some were directly frozen, some were held in the air, and more were broken into more broken fragments, scattered around the periphery of Holy Land. It is the moment when the entire island is broken. A large number of black shadows appeared in the sky. They were people standing on the island, and as the island was shattered, they also suffered attacks from Aokiji and others. Gravity Blade! Rain! ROOM! Various abilities are intertwined in the Sky colliding against the attacks of Aokiji and others. Bang! Bang! Bang! As if to destroy the world, the deafening sound exploded between heaven and earth, causing a lot of Tenryubitos in Holy Land to become stunned by the shock and their ears began to bleed. Amidst the loud sound, countless debris splashed everywhere and the smoke was also filling the sky, covering the clear blue sky behind it. Whiz! Whiz! In the smoke, the next second when the sound was stopped, a large number of figures fell from the sky and fell directly onto the square of Holy Land Mariejois. Everyone saw that there were not many people in this group, but everyone was wearing a black cloak, and behind the cloak were written: One, Two, Three, and Four. The figures in black cloaks showed no signs of confusion, the number One fell to an area and the number Two fell to another area. And standing in front of this group of black cloaks is a completely different white from black, which is a large white feather down cloaks, and there are also One, Two, Three, Four, etched on the back. They seem to be ready for us. Fujitora stands in front of the Elites of the First Division, holding the scabbard of his Cane Blade in one hand and the handle of the blade in the other, maintaining the half-posture of the blade with the half-bowed body and closed eyes, and calmly said. Totto Land, First Division Team has reached here. Shiliew of the Rain held a cigar in his mouth and grinned, he pulled out the sword from the scabbard and followed Fujitora and said: Second Division has also reached here. Third Division Support Unit, Arrives. Fourth Division Medical Unit, Arrives. Trafalgar Law carried the Cursed Blade (Yt) Kikoku and his face slightly raised, his tone was quiet as he also added: Dont think anything medical troops, you cant fight in the front lines. Crackling! A figure intertwined with lightning arcs fell in front of many giants. The sound was like the sound of thunderclap that rung in the Holy Land. Fifth Division Giant Unit, Arrived. Oh, Sixth Division is also here. Robin wore the usual blue-purple shirt today, and she smiled and did not speak the same way as the previous five teams had. Obviously, she did not like to participate in this kind of self-reports that are though at the moment. Captain Robin, thatll take the edge off. Laffitte carried his red wooden cane and spread his hand at Robin and showed a helpless expression, then he turned his head to look at Steel Bone Kong and others, and lifted the ceremonial hat on his head. You guys are okay, Seventh Division Special Forces have also arrived. So, can your World Government stand up to this battle, or are you just waiting here to get wiped out? Judge wore a white cloak embroidered with the number Eight on it and came forward with a deep look in his eyes: Eighth Division Scientific Force Army has Arrived. Its time to put an end to what happened before. Hancock, wearing a gorgeous cheongsam dress stood in front of the Amazon Lily Islands female warriors and looked at the Holy Land Mariejois and she revealed a cold indifference in the depths of her eyes. CHAPTER 454 ERUPTION There is no need for Fujitora and others to self-report themselves. Steel Bone Kong and others have already recognized them. If they havent recognized who their opponent is after fighting for more than two years, they dont need to be a World Government and Marines top decision-makers. For you to suddenly break into Holy Land, We were careless. Steel Bone Kongs complexion is not very good-looking at this moment. Their original defense strategy was to keep the Totto Land out of Holy Land. If Totto Land tried to rush in, they would fall into their ambush and would pay a great price. But no one expected that Totto Land would come on an island and did their own trick on them and they directly sent the Division Captains and the Elites into the interior of Holy Land Mariejois! I havent seen you for years, Fleet Admiral. Shiliew of the Rain held the sword handle and looked at Steel Bone Kong from afar, he had seen Steel Bone Kong and he was once a subordinate of Steel Bone Kong, but now their relation towards each other is filled with complete hostility. Steel Bone Kong coldly said: I promoted you to become the warden of Impel Down and had high hopes for you. I didnt expect you to betray the Government and betray my trust in you. Promoted? Shiliew smiled and said: You shut me down in Eternal Hell on the sixth floor of Impel Down. Is that how you promoted me? Thats really great. Seeing that Steel Bone Kong wanted to say something else, the smile on Shiliews face suddenly turned into a cold and cruel grin as he spoke: There is no need to say more nonsense. He put his sword in front of him, and he opened his eyes. Get ready. World Government! Ghost Hand Ross is not here yet Steel Bone Kongs eyes swept over towards Shiliew and others, searching for traces of Ross, but he did not find them and he could not help but feel that something is wrong in his heart. He is not afraid of Ross appearing on the front, he is worried that Ross will remain hidden in the dark, because according to their intelligence analysis, Ross has a hidden ability that even Observation Haki cant find, it seems that he can fold space itself to conceal himself. But. But at the moment, he couldnt even look for Ross. Almost as soon as Shiliews voice fell, the Elites of Totto Land, under the leadership of Division Captains of each team, launched a fierce attack! Buzz! He saw Fujitora wielding a Cane Blade in his hand and three meteorites pierced the sky and fall from the sky, wrapped in hot flames. At the same time, Shiliew swept his blade away and the cold sword energy frozen in all directions and it seems that in an instant, Holy Land Mariejois is turned into a cold hell! ICE BALL! Aokiji moved and he suddenly came to the sky. First, he put his hand on it and the ice ball blocked the meteorite falling towards the Holy Land. Then, he pressed his backhand again and the ice appeared in the Void and Spread out and quickly froze toward Fujitora. Fujitoras face was calm, and with a wave of his Cane Blade, he shattered the ice. At the same time, Momousagis eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and with a sudden flash, she came to the front of Shiliew at a very fast speed. The sword in her hand was wrapped around with an aura that seems to be able to split everything with the force of a sword. Qiang! Shiliew blocked Momousagis attack with his own sword. You have become a lot stronger. The collision of this move was lightly understood in both minds. Although Totto Land and World Government collided continuously in the past two years, the two of them did not fight. Now fighting again, the strength of the two sides is still the same. To each other. Momousagi took a deep breath and pressed to quickly resolve Shiliews, holding the hilt of her blade in both hands, she started to fight with Shiliew of the Rain. At this time, Aokiji and Momousagi are facing Fujitora and Shiliew, and Ficheux Erman has already moved and the person he is dealing with is Tokikake who just arrived. Did you stay here in peace, Tokikake! In the past two years, Ficheux Erman and Tokikake have fought against each other several times, each time, regardless of up and down and even when fighting for three days and three nights, they could not determine a victor or loser even when they reached their limits. Tokikake actually didnt want to be entangled by Ficheux Erman, but he couldnt avoid Ficheux Ermans speed, even with the Future Prediction ability, he could only resist and fight back but he could not get rid of him. Whiz! After the three Division Captains and the World Governments three forces began to fight against each other, someone on the World Governments side also took the initiative to attack. He wore a white cloak, and it was a spy agency CP0. He was extremely fast and almost fell deep into the enemy territory in one step. He was planning to kill the members of the Third Division to destroy the Elites of the Third Division when Ficheux Erman confronted Tokikake. But. Before his figure rushed over, a shadow suddenly flickered, as if appearing out of thin air, and the shadow came directly to him. The two made a move at the same time, and with a loud sound, both of them stepped back two steps. Fourth Division Captain Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law. The CP0s Vice Chief Coldly looked at the opponent in front of him. Trafalgar Law held the Cursed Blade (Yt) Kikoku, and said with a constant face: Are you the Vice Chief of CP0? I have never seen you before, I wonder how many moves you would last against me. CP0 Vice Chief snorted and said: Dont become too arrogant less you die yourself, I know you are a doctor but you cant heal yourself after getting your head cut off from your body! Whiz! Whiz! When Trafalgar Law fought against CP0 Vice Chief, Laffitte and Robin also started to attack at the same time. At the moment they moved, they met another Vice Chief of CP0 and Vice Chief of the Governments Army. The Battle Power of these Vice Chiefs is not much different from Tokikakes, but Laffitte has already grown to this level in the battle for the sea in recent years. As for Robin. After following Ross around for so long, although she rarely appeared in the front of the battlefield, when Ross has something good that is useless for himself, he often shoves it towards her and he had also trained her. She had naturally reached to this level. CHAPTER 455 CHANGE PART 1 However, for Robin and Laffitte, this is almost the limit of their growth. It would be too difficult for them to further improve their strength to that of a Marine Admiral. Unless they experience multiple life and death fights and survives under the threat of death and breakthrough by themselves, only then they can hope to grow to the real Marine Admiral level of Battle power. Do it. Judge watched that the battlefield that had been completely separated into various fights, and he also waved the war spear in his face with a strong force and said: The people of CP will be dealt by us! Niji, Reiju, and others are not strong enough to deal with CP0s Vice Chief level powerhouse, but they can deal with the ordinary members of CP0, like CP9. Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! The Division Vice-Captains of the various teams rushed out together with the Scientific Force Base of Judge and fought with the Elite Intelligence Agencies and government forces. There are some similarities between the government army and the organization of CP0. One Chief is paired with two Vice Chiefs. At this moment, the Chief has not yet moved, and Vice Chief has already been attacked by one person. The remaining Chief blinked for a moment and suddenly charged into the battlefield, trying to defeat Niji and others as soon as possible. But. Before he could rush over, a pink arrow suddenly shot towards him. He sensed the danger and did not choose to confront it, he turned over to avoid it and then looked gloomy in the direction where the arrow had come from. Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock. Hancock stood there calmly. With her height, she was able to overlook ordinary people. She looked at Vice Chief of the government army and said softly, Dont Call out my name! When the second half of the sentence fell, Hancock had already rushed over and fought against the Vice Chief, the Second Chief of the Government Army. With Hancocks original strength, it would have been difficult for her to deal with people at the level of Vice Chief, but because Ross occasionally went to Amazon Lily Island to train her, her strength has also been improved. She was originally at the level of Shichibukai, and after some improvements in Haki, Devil Fruit ability, and her physical body, her strength had naturally reached this level. The two sides fought for a while. Totto Lands rebellion seems to be nothing more than this. The Chief of the Government army looked at the fierce battle on the field, and his eyes flashed with a cold light because his subordinates were completely caught in the melee, he could not stand it and suddenly rushed out. But before he could rush to the battlefield, a ray of thunder light struck towards him. For Elbaf, for the glory of Totto Land Thunder Giant Hajrudin was bathed in thunder and lightning and he looked like a Thunder God. He was at a high altitude and the sky had turned into a sea of ??dark clouds without anyone knowing about it. With his roar, countless thunder strikes fell like raindrops. Elbaf is now a subsidiary of Totto Lands, so for the sake of Elbaff, that is, for the glory of Totto Land. Asshole! Seeing this scene, the Government Army Chief couldnt help but reveal a look of anger. He set off on Gepp (Moonwalk) and attacked Hajrudin, forcing Hajrudin to resist and it prevented him from creating chaos on the battlefield. In less than ten minutes, the war has completely erupted and the entire Holy Land Mariejois is caught in the flames of war! An earth-shattering battle started on the Red Line. Because of the breadth of the Red Line, it also surpasses any large island in the world, so in this level of melee, it was not quickly fragmented. But. Even so, loud sounds of fighting came from Red Line and it is constantly getting damaged. One must know that standing on this battlefield, there are more than ten characters of Marine Admiral level strength alone, not to mention there are other characters who are only slightly inferior to Admiral. If a Marine Admiral wants to destroy an island, it would be a matter of minutes for him. With all of his fighting power, it is not difficult for a Marine Admiral to destroy a large island in a short time. Now. On the World Government side, there is also Commander Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong, CP0 Chief, Green Ox, Kizaru, and Kirby have not yet entered the battlefield. Kirby has just arrived, and others are guarding against Totto Lands other Battle forces, including those who have not yet appeared. including Ross. If Totto Land only has these Battle forces, even if Ghost Hand Ross is strong, it would be impossible for him to reverse this situation Steel Bone Kong looked calm and his eyes flashed slightly. Naturally, he clearly knows that Totto Land cannot only have these Battle forces. The Logia Hurricane and the Logia Earth ability users who have appeared in Marine Headquarters before have not appeared yet. And just as the huddle was forming on this side of the Holy Land, a dark shadow suddenly appeared on the sea not far from the Red Line, or at the end of the horizon. Looking at it carefully, it is a fleet of ships! Dozens of large ships sailed towards the Marine Headquarters in such a magnificent way, with One, Two, Three and other signs on their sails, they were the troops of Totto Land! A big attack. Steel Bone Kong heard the intelligence report and took a deep breath, saying: Let the Marines prepare for the battle, and have the Scientific Force Base put out the Pacifista force, put out every single unit! He had expected such a massive offensive situation, and the expressions on his face were extremely calm. Ordinary Pirate Ship, even the large Pirate Ships have insufficient firepower compare with Marines large Battleship. Whats more, the new Marine Headquarters fortress, whether its defensive power or offensive powers, it is equipped with heavy artillery and it is more powerful than the previous Marine Headquarters Marineford in every single way! It can be said that it is impossible for the World Government to be afraid of such a massive attack. With the order of Steel Bone Kong, the many Headquarters Vice-Admirals on the Marines side also made their preparations and calmly boarded the Battleships. Get ready to fight! Its just a small fleet, its impossible for them to defeat justice! CHAPTER 455 CHANGE PART 2 The Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral shouted at the soldiers and their roar hung in the air above Marine Headquarters, making countless Marine screams and respond to it with great momentum. Start the Bombardment! Sink them! Just as the fleets of both sides reached the bombardment distance, nearly a hundred Battleships on the side of Marine Headquarters fired their weapons in unison, and countless cannonballs fell like raindrops, falling down with cracks. Although the Totto Lands fleet also fired back with their weapons, their large ships were indeed inferior to Marines standard Battleships. In addition, there was a large gap in their numbers. The other side was also backed by the Marine Headquarters fortress with heavy firepower. Marines Battleship, their firepower is indeed extraordinary. There is also the heavy artillery equipped in the Marine Fortress and the firepower is indeed fierce. The cannonballs fell towards the Totto lands ships, but strangely, no one on the ship on the Totto Lands side showed any expression of panic or fear but instead, they talked and laughed at each other. Their attitude made the Marines side surprised as they were observing the enemys situation through the telescope. There is a large gap between their Battle force. Is there anything the other can do at this time? No matter what means they have, we have to defeat them as soon as possible! The Vice-Admirals of Marine Headquarters drew out his sword and roared, his eyes were filled with cold light, no matter what means the Totto Land side has, the dead will never be able to come out, they have to first establish the victory and defeat, everything else does not matter. However, when the artillery was adjusted on the Marine side and another bombardment was about to occur, the sea suddenly burst into blisters. They are finally here coming! You guys are really slow, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Its because of your power that it is twice as fast as our ship. Many people on the Totto lands side couldnt help but smile when they saw the bubbling sea, and they looked at Marines face, and there was a hint of teasing on their faces. At the next moment, a ship with a weird shape suddenly floated up from the water, causing splashes to splash around. Try this! Someone on the ship coming out of the sea grinned and then the ship fire a shot in the direction of Marine Headquarter. Bang! It is this artillery that is difficult to describe its power in words. Even Gods Judgement used by Enel in the original series pales in comparison to this attack, thats how much powerful this attack is. Everyones eardrums buzzed! They only saw that everything in front of them was turned into a pure white world by the bright white light, and they could not see anything. When their eyesight came back to them. Many Marines shook their heads and looked around for a few times, their faces showing a horrified and unbelievable look. They saw that there were nearly a hundred Battleships above the sea, and ten of them seemed to have evaporated out of thin air. They disappeared without leaving a trace, leaving no fragments. This what is this! That shelling destroyed 10 Battleships just now? Impossible! Even super heavy artillery would find it impossible to destroy 10 Battleships in an instant! The Marine Headquarters Vice-Admirals looked at the ship in disbelief. At this moment, a member of Scientific Force Base have cold sweat on his forehead, he stumbled a few steps and said: That is the Ancient Weapon, Pluton! Pluton! The sound spread, and suddenly many Marines showed shock. It is said to be the ultimate weapon that can destroy an island in one shot and it is actually real and it has also become a ship controlled by their opponents! We cant let them continue to fire! Quick, follow me! Marine Headquarters Vice-Admirals reacted and they could not help but look a little horrified, knowing that they can no longer fight the Totto Land with their firepower, they must switch to the side-to-side battle. But originally, they were stationed in Marine Headquarters, backed by the firepower of Marine Headquarters, but now they have to do an active attack and their advantage has disappeared in an instant. Coupled with Plutons terrifying firepower, the situation was completely reversed for a while! Holy Land. On the battlefield of Mariejois. What?! After receiving this intelligence, Steel Bone Kongs face changed dramatically. CP0s Chief stood next to him and he took a deep breath, his face was a little ugly to look at and he said with a deep voice: They really did got Pluton. The expressions on Steel Bone Kongs face is also very ugly at this moment, the opponent has Plutons firepower, then they will not have any advantage on their side, and they may even get defeated in the Battle below. Let the Scientific Force Base go to support as soon as possible. Steel Bone Kong finally spoke in a deep voice. On the Scientific Force Base side, Vegapunk has also developed a powerful fire weapon. Although it cant be compared with Pluton, it is a weapon that Vegapunk is proud of, so at the very least, it can fight it. After giving the order, Steel Bone Kong looked down at the battlefield and said coldly: We cant wait any longer, we have to go all-in! They had originally thought that they would be enough in the battlefield above and they also had an absolute advantage in the battlefield below, Marine Headquarters could not be captured, but now the other party took out the Ancient Weapon Pluton, and it had immediately reversed the situation. The following battlefield becomes unfavorable to the Marines, then they have to change their strategy in the battlefield above. They can no longer passively wait for Ross to show up and they must fight hard to gain an advantage as soon as possible! Kizaru, Green Ox, you go and join the fight! Steel Bone Kong quietly ordered Kizaru and Green Ox to join the battlefield, and he and CP0 Chief remained here to guard against the hidden Ross. I am coming too. The Alternate Admiral Kirby took a deep breath and followed Kizaru and Green Bull to charge into the battlefield together. Under such an unfavorable situation, it was necessary for them to storm the battlefield. To gain an advantage as soon as possible through the frontal battlefield, as long as the Division Captains of Totto Land can be defeated, then this war would be considered as their victory! CHAPTER 456 *HIDDEN* PART 1 It is needless to say that Kizaru and Green Ox are two major combat powers of the Marines and Kirby is a Marine Admiral candidate, their combined might is enough to set off some storms on this battlefield. The three major Battle forces rushed into the battlefield, immediately leaving the originally dominant Totto Land Side into a disadvantage, Totto Land was not directly defeated but the balance of combat power was obviously broken. Cant you stand it any longer? Trafalgar Law looked at Kizaru and Green Ox who had entered the battlefield and his eyes flashed slightly, and he said, Then they should also be coming out soon. Almost as soon as Trafalgar Laws words fell, the Void suddenly distorted and four people dressed in white feathers clocks like Division Captains came out. Although they wore the same big white cloak, the numbers behind it are not One, Two, Three, Four, nor Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, but Zero! Totto Land. Zero Division Team! Steel Bone Kong saw these four new players, and the expressions on his face suddenly changed slightly. In World Governments intelligence report, Totto Land had only Nine Division teams and he didnt expect there to be a Zero Division team! And they did not have anything on this Zero Division team, they have no information and they dont know about their abilities! Dont panic, so what if there is an extra team? We just have to deal with them Steel Bone Kong watched the turmoil of the battlefield and said, there was an extra team, and if they only had the power equal to Division Captains and Vice Captains then Kizaru and others could still suppress them. Haha. Dont compare our Zero Division team with other teams. The leading man of the Zero Division team looked at Steel Bone Kong and others with a slight smile on his face and said: The Zero Division team does not have a Division Captain, because the Battle power of the four of us is same, which means that we are all Division Captain! The moment these words fell, his entire body suddenly expanded, and the golden light flashed in the area. Mythical Zoan-Type Devil Fruit. Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu(Giant Gold Buddha)! Oh, this ability is not Kizarus eyes narrowed as he saw an unexpected scene where his enemy and the member of the Zero Division turned into the form of the Giant Gold Buddha. He said: So after Fleet Admiral Sengoku was killed in battle, his Devil Fruit was found by you. Although he spoke with a frivolous tone, his eyes clearly showed his worries and alertness. As a person who has followed Sengoku for many years, he is naturally clear about the battle powers of the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu(Giant Gold Buddha) and this is a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit. Even if this Zero Division Members Haki is no match for Sengoku, but with this Devil fruit, as long as his physical strength is good enough, it would be enough for him to approach the combat level of an Admiral! Which side are you looking at, Kizaru? Just when Kizaru was thinking all this, a figure suddenly appeared on the left side of him and spoke with a flat tone, and then this figure proceeded to punch towards Kizaru. Kch! The punch fell and the air seemed to have burst out like a mirror and the power of terrifying shock swept away toward Kizaru. Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi)! Kizaru screamed internally and his entire figure immediately turned into golden light as he tried to dodge backward, evading this punch, but the group of government troops behind him fell under this punch. Seeing the shape of the Giant Golden Buddha and the ability of Whitebeard appeared in the hands of the Totto Lands subordinates, the expressions on Steel Bone Kongs face finally changed. There are four people in this Zero Division team. Two of them have the ability of the Giant Golden Buddha and Paramecia Devil Fruit Gura Gura No Mi(Tremor-Tremor Fruit), what are the abilities of the remaining two people? Are you in a daze? Green Ox. The third person of the Zero Division team spoke coldly and half of his body suddenly turned into a magma that began to surge outwards, he punched towards the Green Ox and the magma flowed frantically and gathered into a huge magma fist, wrapped in amazing heat and power of destruction and rushed towards the Green Ox. Green Oxs complexion changed as he also pushed back against the attack with a punch. Logia Magu Magu no Mi(Magma-Magma Fruit)! Akainus ability! This is not good. CP0s Chief saw this scene and his heart suddenly sank, he screamed loudly and was planning to rush forward towards the fourth person of the Zero Division Team and he began to rush down decisively. From this trend, it seems that all four members of this Zero Division team are top-level Battle forces. The advantage brought in by the presence of Kizaru and Green Bull and Kirby is instantly resolved. If the fourth person of this Zero Division team also moves out, the situation will be reversed and the Totto Land will once again gain advantage! Oh, are you coming here to stop me? The fourth person of the Zero Division team is a female. She looked at the CP0 Chief rushing towards her and smiled gently. Her smile showed a charm like Hancock and at the same time as she smiled, nine white tails appeared behind her like a peacock and waved around like a whip and these tails rushed towards the CP0 Chief. Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyubi no Kitsune(Nine-Tailed Fox)! For the first time, the four members of the Zero Division team showed their strength in front of the world, and only this time, the entire battlefield has been shaken! Damn it to hell! Seeing that this newly emerged Zero Division Team of the Totto Land had really had four top Battle Forces, the expressions on the face of Steel Bone Kong was completely ugly. Even if these people are only a little bit worse than Kizaru and Green Ox in terms of strength but they can still keep them occupied and it would be near impossible for any single Admiral to defeat them in a short amount of time. We cant wait any longer. CHAPTER 456 *HIDDEN* PART 2 Seeing the situation once again entering stalemate and only he as the Commander Fleet Admiral is still on his own, Steel Bone Kong took a deep breath, and decisiveness flashed in his eyes. If Totto Land can hide such a powerful Battle Force as the Zero Division Team. Then their World Government naturally also has some hidden cards that they have not shown till now. Now that the current situation is getting unfavorable for them, then they must act as quickly as possible! Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! Almost immediately after that, Steel Bone Kong took out a Den Den Mushi and conveyed his orders, four or five powerful auras emerged from the Holy Land Mariejois Pangaea Castle. In the blink of an eye, five figures came to the battlefield. Three of them looked strange, but the remaining two were familiar, one of them was the Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, and the other was the former Marine Admiral Black Prison who had fought against Ross before! For you to call us out this soon, it seems that the situation is not good. One of the three strange-looking people said blankly. Steel Bone Kong said in a deep voice: Originally, I was planning to let everyone besiege the Ghost Hand Ross himself. Now, I must end the Battle on the frontal battlefield as soon as possible and force that Ghost Hand Ross to come out. The powerful Battle force that Ross showed in the War Of The Best has already caused the Government many headaches and they have been most vigilant against him since the beginning, so in order to deal with Ross, it can be said that they are fully prepared. But they didnt expect that the opponent would show their Zero Division team in this battlefield which made these preparations obsolete and they had to take out their hidden forces in advance. Because Steel Bone Kong knows that the Totto Land forces also have the Logia Hurricane fruit User and Logia Earth-Earth Devil Fruit users who have not shown themselves yet, they are also close to the top Battle force of the sea. I know you are here, why havent you come out yet?! Steel Bone Kong took a deep breath and looked up at Void in front of the battlefield, and spoke out. The object of this sentence is undoubtedly Ross who has not yet appeared. The Elites and the Division Captains on the Totto Land saw Five powerful battle forces coming out from the World Governments side and the expressions on their faces changed slightly but no one was flustered, because everyone knows that there is still some powerful hidden Battle force on the Totto Lands side. And more importantly, Ross has not made a move yet! Sure enough, there is still a lot of Battle force that they had not taken out. Rosss familiar voice echoed through the Void and spread across the battlefield. A Vortex Distortion appeared in the in Void and Rosss figure stepped out of it. He was wearing a very plain looking cloth, stepping on the clogs. He carried his hands on his back and his face had the ever calm expressions on them, he walked out of the distorted vortex without showing any momentum and he looked like an ordinary person. But. In this battlefield, there is no one who would dare to underestimate him even by a little, in the moment he stepped out of that vortex distortion, whether it is Kizaru or Green Ox, or any others, they all look at him with fixed gazes. They are not afraid of the Division Captains of Totto Land, because they can fight them even if they are strong and they would have a chance to win against them, but Ross alone is different from everyone, in the War Of The Best battle, he had proved this with blood lessons, even Marine Admirals and Marine Fleet Admiral werent able to stop him, not a single person can block him much less think about stopping him! Even. Two people working together will find themselves in danger if they go to deal with Ross. Rosss Battle power is already tough to a somewhat outrageous level, he is completely beyond the seas so-called peak combat strength! So you have finally decided to come out? Steel Bone Kong looked at Ross calmly and said with a deep voice: The World Government has existed for 800 Years and it has the power that you cannot easily step upon. If your Totto Land had continued to develop for one or two decades, maybe then your power would have been enough to really shake the existence of the World Government. But in this battle, you were too anxious and attacked before developing yourselves properly, and you will pay for taking that risk! Steel Bone Kongs voice echoed throughout the battlefield. He knows that Ross also had a Logia Hurricane ability user and a Logia Earth ability user, but what about it? Counting himself here, the World Governments Side has six top Battle Forces in this battlefield! And. The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), which holds the Disaster Devil Fruit has not yet come out yet and among Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), there is more than one person with powerful Battle power! Ghost Hand Ross formed a secret team in secret and he had the nerve to think that he could compete with the World Government and even wipe out the World Government. That would be his one and the biggest mistake in this battlefield! In todays battle, even if Ross cant be killed, at least the battle forces of Totto Land must be defeated, and then the Totto Land rebels will be completely wiped out slowly over the years! I didnt expect the government to have such power. Totto Land is a dangerous situation. In the Sabaody Archipelago island and other places, the surveillance seagulls flying in the sky continuously broadcast the situation on the battlefield, and countless people gathered here to watch the War. Even those who couldnt see it were in a flutter, for everyone knew that this battle would probably determine the future of the world. CHAPTER 457 MAGNIFICENCE At the moment. Not only ordinary people, but also Dark King Rayleigh, Hawkeye Mihawk, and others are also paying attention to the battle of Holy Land. Although they do not intend to participate in this war, they do care about this. Too far apart. Hawkeye looks at Ross, takes a sip of wine, and talks to himself. As the Greatest Swordsman in the World, he naturally has some ideas about the worlds strongest position, otherwise, he would not have tried to test Whitebeards strength in the War Of The Best. But ever since Ross was saddled with the title of the worlds most powerful man, he has had a hard time telling the difference between himself and Ross, and after the first world war, he found out the difference between himself and Ross. Now more than two years have passed since the War Of The Best. He doesnt think he had gotten much better, but Ross probably got better, because Ross is only over 30 now. The government is getting happy too soon. In a small town in the countryside, A Den Den Mushi was broadcasting the battlefield of Holy Land and Beckman, the Vice-Captain of Akagami (Red Hair) Pirates said while smoking. He knows what kind of person Ross is. He seems to be acting crazy, but he is not someone who would move without having any surety in his moves. Ross will not do anything purely for an adventure. But. Although he had guessed that Ross should still have some means, Beckman could not evaluate the final result of this war, because neither World Government nor Ross is someones that he could not see through, and he didnt know knew if both sides were hiding something. Really? Ross looked blankly at the battlefield below. His eyes were neither full of sorrow and joy, nor were there any battle intentions in his eyes, there werent any excitement and bloodlust, there was only calm in his eyes. From coming to this world and to reach this step, he has experienced too many Battles, even the Battle of Holy Land, the greatest battle in 800 years would find it difficult to shake his mind. Black Prison! In the silence, Black Prison next to Steel Bone Kong took the lead. He grabbed his hand and slammed it towards Ross. An extremely strong gravitational force pulled Rosss body, trying to drag Ross from the sky. However, despite the crazy explosion of gravity he exerted, he couldnt lower Ross even a little bit. Rosss figure seemed to have taken root in the sky as he stood without moving. Kurouzu (Dark Water)! Next to Black Prison, one of the three strange-looking people snorted and spread out his hands towards the sky, the dark substance rose like a flame, it was the Yami Yami No Mi of Blackbeard! It turns out that this Devil Fruit fell into your hands. Ross saw this scene and his eyes flickered slightly, but they only flickered by a little, and then his eyes restored to their usual calm. Magu-Magu Devil Fruit, the Big Buddha, and Tremor-Tremor Devil Fruit were all found by him, but the Secret Yami-Yami No Mi was never found, and it really fell into the hands of the World Government. After all, this is the governments bottom card, and I cant take you too lightly, so my guards will be your opponent. Ross had no intention to move. He was still standing in the sky. He indifferently waved his hand and the Void behind him suddenly distorted into a vortex. In the vortex, five figures emerged, plus a hurricane. Among these five figures and the hurricane, the hurricane is already known to the world, and the same is true for the Enel Incarnation. But the rest of the figure caused them to feel unbelievable. This is impossible! Those people are Out of the vortex of space, standing behind Ross were all of his Incarnations, apart from the Hurricane Incarnation and Enel Incarnation, there are Weevil Incarnation, Katakuri Incarnation, Golden Lion Incarnation and Hundred Beast Kaido Incarnation! Weevils name sounded through the sea in the past two years, and Whitebeards remnant party were defeated by him. Finally, he was wiped out by the forces of Totto Land because he was caught in the war between Totto Land and the World Government. As for Katakuri, although the BIGMOM Pirates have long become history, a big pirate with a bounty of more than one billion cannot be easily forgotten! The most attention belongs to the figures of Golden Lion and Hundred Beast Kaido. Arent they already dead? Steel Bone Kongs eyes were filled with incredible looks, not to mention that Golden Lion and Kaido should be dead, even if they are not dead, they should not be Rosss men! It seems that they are getting controlled. There is no lack of abilities that could control the bodies of others in this world, but I did not expect Hundred Beast Kaido to be controlled The two people standing behind Steel Bone Kong spoke. The people present were all the top strength of the sea. After waking up from the shock, it could be seen that Hundred Beast Kaido and others were all in a controlled state. But no matter what method Ross uses to control them, this is a group of powerful Battle force and they are enough to tear apart this battlefield! Whiz! In the next moment. The Beast Incarnation took the lead and roared, and his whole figure rushed out of the sky, he directly charged towards the Army General Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong and ignored everyone else. Seeing Hundred Beast Kaido rushing over, Steel Bone Kongs face suddenly became difficult to look at. Black Prison tried to block him but Hundred Beast Kaido directly attached Armament Haki all over his body and continued forward. The undead body has always been so domineering. Whiz! Whiz! Whiz! While Hundred Beast Kaido rushed, Golden Lion and other Incarnations also rushed towards the battlefield below, directly charging into Steel Bone Kong and others. The five Major Incarnations plus the Hurricane Incarnation instantly fought with six people including Steel Bone Kong and others, and this caused the Holy Land to completely enter the most intense battle state! On this battlefield, each person has his or her own opponent, but since all of them are the top-level powers in the sea, it is difficult to fix the opponent. Like Kizaru. In the fierce battle, he can free up his hand to help Green Ox from time to time. Trafalgar Law is another anomaly, where he can suddenly change positions with Fujitora and others and change his and others opponent, and strike the opponent with a surprise. The sound of Bang continued to explode in Holy Land. Hurricanes, Lava, Ice, Light, Darkness All kinds of Logia Devil Fruit gathered together as if to break the entire Red Line completely! At this moment. Both the people on the battlefield and those who are concerned about this battle are already speechless because the momentum caused by this battle is too great. The Rare Logia and Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit species, which are rarely seen at ordinary times, have emerged here in an endless stream, and the top-level battle powers have gathered here together. By comparison, the War Of The Best was simply a childs play! The Battle power that had converged on this battlefield is almost more than three times then the War Of The Best. This battle is the biggest battle since the World Government was established 800 years ago! CHAPTER 458 SIGH The Battle continued. Because the entire Red Line is made of solid rock, it is much stronger than the average island, so it is still standing firm in the battle between the top powers of this sea. The situation of the war did not show too many advantages and disadvantages to any side. The World Governments Battle Force and Totto Lands Battle Force were almost able to make a 50-50 situation. Under these circumstances. It will only take Ross making a single move to immediately break the deadlock between the two forces. But Ross never made a move. His eyes were flat and filled with calmness as he looked at the City Castle in the middle of Holy Land Mariejois, Pangaea Castle. He saw the Empty Throne in the Pangaea Castle and there were twenty swords in front of the Empty Throne embedded in the ground in front the throne, these swords were from the twenty kings who established the original World Government. Eight hundred years of history, it must have been really difficult for you. Ross looked at the Pangaea Castle with dim eyes and he slowly said, Today, I will let you become free. As his voice fell, in front of countless peoples eyes, Ross finally reached out with his hand and pressed it towards the Pangaea Castle. Are you finally making a move? The strongest man in the world Countless people are looking at this scene, they looked at Ross standing in the sky and when Rosss hand presses down, almost all of them show a nervous look and watched the scene that will happen next. On this battlefield. The most striking core is not Fujitora, nor Hundred Beast Kaido, nor Steel Bone Kong, nor any of the Battle Forces fighting below, there is only one core of the battlefield, that is the highest ruler of Totto Land, Ghost Hand Ross! As long as Ross exists, as long as Ross is undefeated, even if the situation becomes chaotic, even if the situation is not good for Totto Land, World Government cannot win! They can even say that the entire Totto Land is actually supported by Ross, and for it to reach such a height, it was all done by Ross alone! When Ross became a pirate, Rosss title was Ghost Hand Ross and this title has been followed to the present time, but its meaning is different from the original. The original title was meant to represent Rosss killing method. And now this title represents the rise of Totto Land. With one hand, Ross propped up Totto Land standing on the throne of heaven! Buzz! With the attention of countless people, Rosss ordinary and simple palm finally fell down and everyone saw Void getting distorted and collapsed. A huge palm print visible to the naked eye and filled with the chaotic power of distortion rushed towards the Pangaea Castle. Presumptuous! Stop! The Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) in the Pangaea Castle finally couldnt stay still any longer and two loud sounds spread out, and everyone saw three figures flying out together. One of the Gorosei had wind was wrapped in one hand and the thunder was wrapped in the other. It was the Disaster Fruit ability. The other person was wearing glasses and holding a sword in his hand. His muscles were covered with Armament Haki. Bang! The wind is roaring and the thunder is raging, and the sword energy slashed vertically. The chaotic attacks are intertwined in the sky, and the three Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) representing the peak force of the World Government show their powerful strength. Under their combined force, they firmly resisted Rosss attack. Quite Good. Ross saw the three Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) teamed up to block his attack and he overlooked the three of them and spoke calmly. A pirate that can develop his power to the point where it is today, we really look down upon you, but you alone are not enough to overthrow the World! The Gorsei with Disaster Devil Fruit ability spoke coldly. Last time at the Marine Headquarters in the War Of The Best, he teamed up with Black Prison and still failed to block Ross. The support came a little late, but this time, he is at Holy Land Mariejois and all the support he needs is here! Although the Totto Land Side had also shown many Battle forces that shocked them, the World Government was still able to resist it, and now Ross is the only one left they had to resist! No matter how strong Ross is, under the three of them, it is impossible for him to occupy any advantage, not to mention the existence of that person in Pangaea Castle, so Totto Land will lose today! The odds of Totto Land winning are zero! One Strike, Caresses Cut! The Sword-wielding Gorseis eyes flashed with a cold light and he violently attacked towards Ross. This sword was split, and the sword arts of the great swordsman were undoubtedly revealed, and as the superior of the World Government, this sword attack also contains a bit of dominance that neither Shiliew of the Rain nor Momousagi has. At the moment of his shot, the Gorsei with Disaster Devil Fruit ability and the third Gorosei also attacked together, the Hurricane Magma and the Air Cannon were shot by the Gorosei and rushed towards Ross. The momentum was shocking for a while. But. Faced with this massive three-man joint attack, Ross sightly shook his head without showing any emotion and sighed. Ugh. With this sigh, he gently raised his hand towards the coming attack. It was such a trivial movement, but it seemed to have touched a certain power above everything and that monstrous attack from the three Gorosei disappeared out of thin air. This scene stunned all three of Gorsei. Even Steel Bone Kong and others showed a feeling of anxiety and dismay at this time, because no matter who it was, they couldnt perceive how Ross blocked that terrifying joint attack! They have only felt Ross waving his hand and the attack disappeared out of thin air. Space Barrier? No, no, even the space barrier should be traceable. The Gorseis eyes widened, revealing an unbelievable look. Just the next moment. Ross sighed again and stepped forward. He stepped down, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of the Gorsei with Disaster Devil Fruit. Next to him standing a Gorsei who is proficient in body arts and his Observation Haki has also reached the level of Future Prediction, but he still couldnt predict Rosss sudden appearance! Damn it! The Gorsei showed horror on his face and by the time he moved to support his companion, it was too late. Ross palms had already fallen. Surging with the ultimate power of distortion, Rosss palm fell upon the Gorosei. The Gorsei with Disaster ability is splitting his eyes and desperately exerting his Devil Fruit ability to the max, but it is still impossible for a single person to resist Ross frontal attack. The power of Disaster was destroyed and decayed in a single blow, and Goroseis Figure flew out directly, blood spewing out of his mouth, and the sound of bones breaking out in the body was heard. Damn it! This is impossible! The Sword arts Gorsei had an incredible look on his face, and the sword in his hand slashed towards Ross. But. His sword had just been waved out, but he suddenly found that the sword had returned to its original position. The sword that he had originally wielded and attacked with had changed into a state that indicates that he had not wielded the sword yet. It was at this time that Rosss hand was pressed towards him. Ghost Hand, Ghost Hand, this name do still hold its original meaning. Ross sighed and his palm fell upon the Sword Gorosei. The Sword arts Gorsei also flew out and his whole body shattered and he splashes blood all over Holy Land. CHAPTER 459 FINAL FIGH The remaining Gorsei already showed a ghost-like expression. His face was filled with fear, and he made a hoarse voice in his mouth, trying to say nothing, but he could not speak for a while. Boom! The Gorosei stepped out with a jerk and utilized Gepp (Moonwalk), he wanted to rush back towards the Pangaea Castle. With a frightened face, he was about to cry out for help. But at the next moment, he went straight back to the original place he had started running away from, before using Gepp (Moonwalk), it was as if time had been reversed. The so-called Battle force at the top of the sea Ross looked at the remaining Gorsei who had a panicked expression on his face. There was a touch of emotion on Rosss face and for a time, there were thousands of thoughts flashing in his mind, but his palm still fell on the Gorosei. The power of distortion is gushing out, even if the Gorosei is desperately performing Armament Haki on his body to mount a defense, he is still defeated by Rosss power of distortion, and his whole body explodes in a shower of blood. Three strokes. Three Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) fell! At this moment, the entire battlefield was silent, and countless people looked up at Ross, whether it was Steel Bone Kong and other government Admiral, or Fujitora and other Totto Land Division Captains. Even the chaos of the war was brought to a halt. Not to mention Aokiji and others, even Robin, who knows Ross the best and is the closest to Ross, cant help being slightly lost at this moment. Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) just died? Even she had no idea that it would be so easy for Ross to kill Gor sei (Five Elder Stars). Looking at Ross standing in the sky, slowly withdrawing his hand, Shiliew of the Rain and other Division Captains of Totto Land were shocked and they could not help but feel strange. In the War Of The Best, Ross fought against the Fleet Admiral and a Marine Admiral and he still killed the Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Admiral Akainu, and even then they could still understand Rosss strength. But. At this moment, they are at a loss. For them, Rosss strength is already standing at the pinnacle of the sea, but Ross they are looking at this moment is so strange that they cant help but feel a little strange. This farce is almost over. After Ross killed three Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), he looked at the corpses of the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) without any emotion on his face and his figure fell on the battlefield and his eyes swept across the battlefield. At the moment on the battlefield. Steel Bone Kong stopped. Aokiji and Kizaru stopped. Momousagi and Green Ox also stopped. Fujitora, Shiliew of the Rain, and other Division Captains of the Totto Land also stopped. The power revealed by Ross is far beyond the imagination of anyone present here, he posses a power that they cannot even identify much less fight against it. Since he can kill the Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) in one move, he can also kill Aokiji, Kizaru, and Steel Bone Kong in one move. No one can resist Rosss power and the war had lost its meaning. God ? No one knew who it is but someone murmured in a daze. The Tenryubito has always regarded themselves as a god, but Ross, at this moment, can simply kill anyone present in this battlefield and not to mention one Gorosei (Five Elder Stars), he had killed three just now. Such strength is as incredible as a dream. Just like that of a god. Ross withdrew his gaze and did not go to the battlefield again. It doesnt matter if the World Governments officials are killed or not, as long as Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) is eliminated and tenryubito is eliminated, Totto Land can take over everything in the World Government. For those officials, its just a change in rulers. His gaze turned to Pangaea Castle and instead of looking at the last two Gorsei (Five Elder Stars), he looked towards the depths of Pangaea Castle. Its your turn. Rosss soft voice swayed in the sky. There was already silence on the battlefield and when Rosss voice was heard, everyone was either at a loss, or numb, or filled with bitterness, they all turned to look at the Pangaea Castle. As far as the world is concerned, everyone knows that Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) is the core of the World Governments power. Like the parliament, the five people each hold part of the power, but most people dont know that there is an existence of a King above Gorsei (Five Elder Stars). Master Im In the Pangaea Castle, the last two Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) stood behind a figure, and as they saw Ross looking at them through the window, their backs filled with cold sweat. Im standing in front of the two Gorosei did not speak, he just looked through the window, looking at Ross suspended in the sky and calmly stared at Ross. No one dared to speak, and the entire battlefield was silent. Ross didnt move and he just looked through the window, looking at the figure that even Gorsei (Five Elder Stars) would kneel to worship, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. Are you really Buzz! Ross whispered just halfway and a strange aura suddenly burst out of Im standing in the Pangaea Castle. This aura was like a tsunami, screaming in all directions, covering the entire Holy Land Mariejois in an instant, covering the entire Red Line! The wind became still. The clouds in the sky became still. The Elites of Totto Land, as well as the Elites of the Government Army and Marines, were all fixed there, and then fell to the ground like Dominoes. Even Fujitora, Shiliew of the Rain, Steel Bone Kong, Aokiji, and other top powers of the sea began to tremble in front of this powerful aura which is too large to describe in words. Their foreheads were filled with cold sweat, and their bodies began to stagger slightly. This is Haoshoku Haki. No, its hard to say that this is Haoshoku Haki as this is almost out of the scope of Haoshoku Haki, and even Red Hair Shanks Haoshoku cant be compared with it. On this battlefield, the only person who has not been affected, or that the impact is minimal, is Ross, who still stands in the sky. Sure enough. Ross gave a little sigh. He must have used the Surgeon-Surgeon Fruits ability or something similar to it, he is a king who has survived for 800 years, then as a king who has been in this world for 800 years, his Haoshoku Haki cannot be compared with anyone. Ims eyes were fixed on Ross. This Haoshoku Haki has already reached a level that can shatter the matter. The entire Pangaea Castle has long been fragmented under the impact of this Haoshoku Haki. But because of Haoshokus cover, everything seemed to be silent. Buzz! Im stared at Ross, and a strange power rushed out of his body. This is the power of Devil Fruit, but it is not a Logia, nor a spatial ability, but something above all of them. This is the Superior Devil Fruit to the Devil Fruits such as Slow Fruit and Speed ??Fruit. It is located in the Apex Paramecia Devil Fruitposition. It can truly be called the invincible Devil Fruit, Time-Time Fruit! Time. Ross felt the situation all around his body and he found that time was suddenly accelerated. The life span of a normal person is only one hundred years, and once the time is accelerated, these one hundred years can pass away in one minute, then naturally, that person will die. CHAPTER 460 NEW ERA No wonder, no wonder. Ross said while his hands reached into Void and gently torn it to two sides. The power of distortion and the time-lapse power that enveloped his body shattered by the rigid Distortion. Pity. Ross overlooked Im and shook his head slightly. If it was before he had mastered the power of Time Distortion, this power would have had a huge impact on him. Although it would not kill him, he would have to use his full-powered Armament Haki to the limit in order to fight against the power of this Devil Fruit. In that case, his body would have been under enormous burden and pressure. Coupled with Ims Haoshoku Haki, and thinking with his toes, Ross knows that he must have top-level Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Armament Haki so Ross wouldnt have many advantages over him. But now. After possessing the power of Time Distortion, the power of Time-Time Fruit can be weakened by him to the maximum, or even become invalid on him. Im is still silent. After surviving for 800 years, he seems to have lost his self-consciousness and has become a numbness being without feelings. Whiz! Ross dived, charging directly into Im. As expected by Ross, Ims Armament Haki, and Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki are indeed unprecedentedly powerful and he has survived for 800 years. The Armament Haki and Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki were both like Haoshoku, standing on a very high level and unassailable. However, Rosss Armament Haki and Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki are not too far behind Im, and his Haoshoku can also fight against Ims Haoshiku Haki after being upgraded. Rosss Time Distortion can offset the power of Ims Time-Time Fruit, and his Distortion Fruit is more flexible compared to it. Bang! Bang! Bang! The Battle of the two instantly smashed the Pangaea Castle. From the battle of the sky to the ground, the Red Line was getting smashed, again and again, hitting the Marine Headquarters and breaking it. The war has stopped. Its not about giving up on offense or giving up on resistance. Everyone is looking at Ross and Ims Battle. Although both sides still retain enough stamina and Battle power, it doesnt make much sense to fight now. Ross can easily destroy the Governments army, and Im can also easily kill the Elites of Totto Land. The victory lies only in these two people. The fierce battle continued, and both Ross and Im have been injured, but Rosss body has reached a level beyond Kaido and he also has the ability to heal himself, and it is also an undead body. In comparison, although Im has an immortal life span and a strong and unmatched body, after all, he has no immortality. Overtime. More and more wounds appeared on Ims body. Eventually, under Rosss attacks, he smashed Im on the entire Red Line and hit the sea below it and set off a monstrous tsunami. This is the end. Ross stood in the sky while breathing heavily. Looking at the sea where the waves were gradually calming down, he slowly raised his head and looked to the sky. The dark clouds in the sky were gone. And a clear blue sky was exposed. Has it ended? On the fragmented Holy Land, countless people looked at the scene and muttered. Steel Bone Kong and others felt the power in their bodies fading gradually, it was as if he had aged ten years in a flash as he began to shake his head and smiled bitterly. Lost. The World Government has lost after ruling this world for 800 Years. The year 1520, the first year of the Totto Land Era. The World Government, which had ruled the world for 800 years, was finally destroyed under the total attack of Totto Land, and both Holy Land and Marine Headquarters fell. Tenryubito, the former rulers, completely disappeared from this world. During all the subversion, there was a little confusion in all over the world, but Totto Land was resolute and quickly reorganized the new Marine Headquarters. Before the chaos on the sea appeared, it was suppressed. The Revolutionary Army, which has always rebelled against the rule of the World Government, finally chose to disband under the decision of their Leader Monarch Dragon, and Totto Land did not destroy the disbanded Revolutionary Army, leaving them alone to return to their home. As one of his hand propped Totto Land and his other hand conquered the world, Ross, at this time, has become a legend. Rosss past deeds have also been written, it has been written how he was forced to become a pirate. With the purpose of destroying pirate, he conquered the Grand Line, ruled Totto Land, and destroyed the World Government Everything is intertwined, like a brand new historical biography. Someone once asked Ross. He was framed as a pirate by the former World Government, what did he think at that time. Rosss answer was that he didnt want to be a pirate, but if he has no other choice but to become a pirate, then he can only turn the world upside down. Sky Island Birka. So Dragon is not going to manage Totto Land. Ross sat on the island cloud sofa, peeled an orange and put it in his mouth, and ate it. Let him be, then. Ross does not care much about the fate of Revolutionary Army Leader Dragon. It is too easy for him to destroy Dragon with his current strength. When he had the power to destroy everything, there was nothing in the world that he could not grasp. Strength can rule everything. If he cant beat someone then he would get even stronger. There is no problem with Marines, Fleet Admiral Isshou is doing very well. Robin flipped through the documents in her hand and reported to Ross at random. The newly formed Marine Headquarters, with Fujitora as Marine Fleet Admiral, the former Marine Fleet Admiral Aokiji was not killed by Ross but Aokiji does not intend to become a Marine again, and like Dragon, he retired. There is still a shortage of officials on the government side, but according to what you said, like the previous World Government, giving all countries the power of autonomy does not require too much trouble to manage them. Robin flipped through the documents and continued to speak. If each island was a City town then it would have been very troublesome to govern the world, but many islands are self-contained countries, so for all countries, they just had the people in World Government replaced. Not to mention. Because the New Totto Land does not have any Tenryubito and World Noble, there is no need to pay Heavenly Tribute for each country. Without the heavy Heavenly Tribute, there would have been a lot of poverty and famine but that wasnt the case in the peace. In addition, the big secret of ONEPIECE has long become a matter of the last era. The strength of Totto Land is unprecedentedly strong, and the world has gradually become stable. Ok. Ross casually responded and said: The world has settled down, basically nothing has happened, and its time to consider my wife. Robin stopped browsing the files. Ross snapped his fingers and said to himself: Hancock is a bit capricious, but after the demise of the World Government, she has gotten a lot better, Nami is also very good, there is no doubt about Reiju, Shirahoshi is also good, although her size is a little bigger, but that wont be a problem Rosss voice stopped at this point. Robin turned her head and looked at Ross with a smile. The petals emerged and Seven or Eight arms grew out of Rosss shoulders and neck and hooked Ross neck and back waist, and twisted Rosss body. Ross: Oh, dont mess around. Kch! (End of the book)
