Ross did not rush to summon the talent system, but turned to look behind him, where he saw the remaining pirates who were suppressed by Robin, or who had lost their fighting spirit and were trembling.
"There are still thirteen people left."
Robin stood next to Ross and reported to Ross.
When many pirates saw Ross killing the one-eyed Flo, even those with some strength showed expressions of horror and fear.
"Don't... don't kill me, Captain Rhodes, I am willing to surrender to you."
"Me too, me too!"
Many pirates even threw away their weapons.
Ross looked at the remaining thirteen pirates, shook his head indifferently and said, "There are too many people. I don't need so many subordinates."
Looking at the pirates who were all showing fear, Ross paused for a moment and said calmly: "There are thirteen of you now, and I only need five."
After hearing Ross's words, the remaining thirteen pirates all froze in breath.
Only five people are needed, so Ross's meaning is obvious, that is, only five of them can survive, and the remaining eight people will die.
"You want us to kill each other..."
Someone gritted his teeth and spoke, but before he could finish speaking, a sword edge suddenly penetrated his chest, and blood spurted out.
The many pirates present are not the partners of the Straw Hat Pirates. They are all cruel and fierce existences, and there are also smart people among them. It is obviously impossible for them to fight against Ross. The only way to survive is to obey.
boom! boom!
Someone took the lead, and the remaining pirates immediately roared and started fighting each other. After a lot of fighting, only five people were left standing.
Although these five people have stopped fighting, they are still very wary of each other. If Ross changes his mind and says that there are only three of them, the one who relaxes his vigilance will die first.
Ross glanced at the five people indifferently, then turned to Robin next to him and said:
"Robin, I'll leave the rest to you."
"As you command, Captain."
Robin nodded and directed the remaining five pirates to clean up the corpses and blood stains on the ship, while Ross came to the deck alone.
A thought came to mind.
He summoned the three big trees of the talent system. Ross directly clicked on the combat talent and found the huge branch of the twisted fruit.
Twisted Fruit: 75
There was only 25 points of talent proficiency left before the first branch ability, Distorting Light. With a thought, Ross directly added 25 points of proficiency.
A flash of emerald green light flashed, and the proficiency of the twisted fruit reached 100, and the branch ability of twisted light also changed from gray to activateable green.
Activating Distorted Light indeed requires 1 free talent point.
"Activate it."
Rhodes used the 1 free talent point he just obtained directly on the branch ability of distorted light.
In an instant, a strange power poured into Ross's body and merged with the power of the twisted fruit in Ross's body.
"Sure enough, there were some different changes."
Ross murmured as he felt the changes in his body. It was difficult for him to describe this feeling in words, but there was no doubt that the ability to twist the fruit was further developed.
He stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
That ordinary palm created a shadow out of thin air. Even under Ross's deliberate manipulation, the shadow could be made motionless, as if many hands had suddenly appeared.
Robin, who was standing below directing many pirates to clean the deck, couldn't help but be startled when he caught a glimpse of Ross's changes.
When did Ross steal her flower fruit ability
Ross stood there, waving his arms constantly, creating afterimage after image, familiar with the newly acquired power.
"It's just a phantom..."
Using the ability to distort light, the arms and the like created are all phantoms and do not have any real attack power, but they are extremely confusing.
Imagine that in a battle, countless fists are suddenly thrown out, all of them look the same. Even if only one of them is real, it is undoubtedly very difficult to resist.
That is to say.
The opponent's vision will become a huge interference to Rhodes. Unless they can judge Rhodes' position based on sound and other perceptions alone, they will be greatly restricted.
For those who have not mastered the power of seeing, hearing, color, and paper painting, vision is almost the most important means of perception for them. When vision is interfered with, their strength will be seriously reduced.
Now, if Rhodes encounters a person of Navy Captain Moby's level again, even if he fights three or five at the same time, he will be able to deal with it easily.
"The range of the distortion fruit ability has also been increased."
After getting familiar with his newly acquired abilities, Ross felt the twisted power he could mobilize, which was undoubtedly stronger than before.
If before, the scope of his power of distortion was a sphere with a radius of two meters with himself as the center, then now, the scope of his power of distortion has reached a radius of nearly five meters. The ball!
This level of distortion power is enough to deal with the level of slashes from Moby and One-Eyed Flo. In other words, if Ross faces that kind of slash again, he no longer needs to dodge. He can completely use the distortion power to attack head-on. .
even.
Ross felt that he could resist the bullets shot by ordinary fire guns with the power of distortion, but he didn't want to test it.
"The power of the fruit has increased, and the physical consumption has also increased a lot."
Feeling the changes in his body, Ross had a look of contemplation on his face.
The use of Devil Fruit is undoubtedly very physically demanding, especially the superhuman type such as the Twisted Fruit.
Now the ability of the twisted fruit has more than doubled, which means that when he explodes with all his strength, his physical strength is exhausted faster and the burden on his body is greater.
"It seems that the general-purpose 'physical enhancement' has to be released as soon as possible. The current situation is not bad. If the twisted gravity is activated, I am afraid that the strength of the body will not be able to keep up with the devil fruit ability."
The strongest person on the sea today is undoubtedly the Four Emperors Whitebeard, and the reason why Whitebeard is powerful is not just because of the Shock Fruit.
Although the Shock Fruit is also a terrifying power, without a strong body that can withstand the force of the shock, it is simply impossible to exert the terrifying power of Whitebeard.
"You can keep the remaining 25 proficiency points as backup. If you encounter a situation that requires explosive power, just click on the twisted fruit. If you need speed, then click on Shave or Agility Enhancement."
Ross thought for a while and finally left 25 proficiency points. Anyway, he could call up the talent system at any time and click on it.
After turning off the talent system, Rhodes continued to become familiar with the ability to distort light.
Two hours later.
Robin came next to Rhodes and reported to Rhodes, who was exercising his abilities: "Captain, the deck and cabin have been cleared, and there is a naval warship coming towards us from the southwest. It should be a medium-sized warship. .”
