West Sea.
Augus Island.
In the middle of the street, the pirate captain Rhodes, carrying a huge machete on his shoulder, looked at a box of treasures placed in front of him and asked the pirates under his command:
"Is all the treasure here?"
"That's pretty much it!"
"Okay! Let's go!"
Rhodes nodded with satisfaction, greeted the pirates under his command, asked them to pick up the treasure box, and planned to leave the island.
However.
After walking a few steps, they suddenly noticed that a young man wearing a leather hat had appeared at the end of the street.
The young man had a pistol on his left waist, a short sword on his right waist, and a piece of yellowed paper in his hand. He lowered his head and was looking at the paper in his hand as if no one else was there.
"Where did this kid come from?"
Rhodes was slightly stunned. The civilians on this island had been looted by them a long time ago. They were so scared that they didn't dare to go out. The young man in front of him came out of nowhere and actually dared to stand in front of them. Could it be that Still want to stop them
The pirates under his command were also a little stunned, but they all smiled. One of them flicked his wrist, took out a gun and aimed it directly at the young man at the end of the street.
"Hey! Boy, if you don't want to die, get out of the way!"
The young man was pointed at a gun, but he calmly raised his head. He did not look at the gun pointed at him, but looked directly at the captain of this group of pirates, Rhodes.
"The bounty is 16 million Baileys, is that Lord Machete?"
"You have some discernment, kid. Get out of here before I get angry!"
Rhodes raised his chin slightly, showing a hint of pride. For pirates, they all hope that they have a very high bounty. The bounty of 16 million beli is not low, which is why he has always been very proud. A place of pride.
"It's good that you didn't admit the wrong person."
The young man nodded, gently threw away the paper in his hand, and said: "Then, I will accept the head of 16 million Baileys."
boom! boom! boom! !
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the young man quickly pulled out the pistol from his waist and fired six shots at Rhodes and others, emptying the bullets.
Many pirates obviously did not expect that the young man in front of them would dare to take action against so many of them, and at such a fast speed!
Six gunshots were fired and five people fell to the ground!
The only shot that missed was shot at Lordes, who blocked it with the huge machete on his shoulder.
At this time, the piece of paper thrown away by the young man slowly fell to the ground. It was a reward notice, and the wanted person on it was none other than 'Machete' Rhodes!
not far away.
Although Rhodes blocked the young man's shot, he was too late to stop it. He watched helplessly as all five of his men were knocked down, with a look of rage on his face.
"You... damn!!"
He roared angrily, waved the machete in his hand, and rushed towards the young man. The huge machete suddenly slammed down, and the strong wind alone gave people the feeling of being cut in half by a knife.
However, facing the knife from Rhodes, the young man did not panic. He calmly put away the pistol, then clasped his hands in front of him and clamped directly towards the machete.
"court death!"
Rhodes laughed evilly when he saw this. His machete was not only huge, but also made of a special material. It was hard and extremely heavy at the same time. Most people might not be able to hold it even with a sword. The young man in front of him actually dared to take the knife with his bare hands. I really don't know. Life or death.
but.
Almost the moment the young man's palm touched the blade, Rhodes's expression changed, because a strange force suddenly enveloped the entire machete.
Click! Click! !
Before the huge machete could cut down, it was directly twisted in a spiral under the action of that strange force and turned into a ball of twists!
Immediately afterwards, the power continued to spread upwards, covering Rhodes' hands in horrified eyes.
Click!
Rhodes let out an earth-shattering scream, and the machete that had been twisted into a twist was scattered on the ground along with blood, and some twisted and shapeless bones and flesh.
"you you… "
Rhodes fell to the ground and looked at the young man in front of him in horror, "You are the pirate hunter, Ghost Hand Rhodes!"
"Guessed it right, but unfortunately there is no prize."
Ross smiled, drew out the dagger hanging from his waist, stepped forward, swiped the sword, and a head flew into the sky with blood.
at the same time.
A crisp electronic sound sounded in Ross's ears.
"The bounty is 16 million Baileys. 'Machete' Lordes has completed the hunt and received a reward of 45 points of talent proficiency and 1 point of free talent."
Hearing the electronic sound coming from his ears, Ross's face showed a hint of joy.
"It's my first time to hunt down a pirate with a bounty of 16 million. The reward is really generous, and I can even get free talent points."
He used to be an intern in another world. He came to the world of One Piece inexplicably a year ago. He also installed a talent system in his mind. By hunting pirates with bounties on his head, he could gain talent proficiency and free talent points.
With this talent system, he has been doing quite well this year, and now he can easily deal with even pirates with a bounty of 16 million beli.
Ross had an idea.
Three strange, translucent trees that only he could see appeared in front of him. There were three names on the top of the tree crowns: Life, General, and Fight.
Among the life talents, there are all kinds of messy talents such as sailing, cooking, music, etc. Rhodes currently only has a little bit of sailing.
General talents include three major items: strength enhancement, agility enhancement, and physical fitness enhancement, plus minor items such as running, jumping, and flexibility.
To activate a minor talent, you need one free talent point, and to activate a major talent, you need two free talent points. Rhodes currently only has one major talent that enhances agility.
The final combat talent has always been Ross' current specialization direction.
After clicking on the combat talent, the translucent tree was enlarged, and the trunk above turned into branches. Most of them were gray and dark, and only a small part was golden.
The golden ones are activated talents, while the gray ones are not yet activated.
At present, the only talents that Rhodes has activated are firearm shooting, melee combat, and twisted fruit. The proficiency of these three talents is marked at the back.
Firearms Shot: 50
Melee Combat: 80
Twisted Fruit: 50
Among them, for the two talents of firearms shooting and melee combat, if the proficiency reaches 50 points, it is the proficiency level, and 100 points is the control level, and the full value is 200 points.
"You don't need to upgrade firearms shooting. Mastery level is enough. Let's upgrade melee combat to Mastery level first."
