November of the year 1508 of the Haiyuan calendar.
Ghost Hand Rhodes killed the one-eyed Flo with a bounty of 27 million Baileys, seized the ship of the Flo Pirates, and formally formed a pirate group named "Ghost Hand". The pirate flag is a skull with a vertical line. Skeleton hands reaching for the sky.
It was early December in the year 1508 of the Haiyuan calendar.
Ghost Hand Rhodes led the Ghost Hand Pirates to kill the Clow Pirates in the Kingdom of Turta, whose captain had a bounty of 17 million, and defeated the local Kingdom Army that came to encircle and suppress them, and gradually became famous.
The end of December in the year 1508 of the Haiyuan calendar.
Ghost Hand Rhodes led the Ghost Hand Pirates to kill the Blood Bull Pirates whose captain offered a bounty of 25 million Baileys, and defeated the Navy of the T19 Division of the West Sea that came to encircle and suppress them, shocking the West Sea Navy and increasing its prestige. .
It was early January in the year 1509 of the Haiyuan calendar.
This year is also called the eleventh year of the Great Pirate Age.
In the pirate town of Bagh Town, Ghost Hand Rhodes successively destroyed the Hammer Pirates whose captain had a bounty of 28 million and the Leopard Pirates who had a bounty of 19 million.
Later, he destroyed the famous pirate hunter "Blood Hand" and his gang who tried to kill him. By now, his reputation was far and wide, and no one dared to question his bounty of up to 40 million beli.
…
More than two months have passed since he captured the Flo Pirates' ship. Rhodes killed a total of 2 pirates worth between 15 and 20 million beli, and 3 pirates worth between 20 and 30 million beli.
Since the rewards obtained by repeatedly hunting pirates in a certain range will decrease, Rhodes only received 80 points of talent proficiency.
Fortunately.
When he killed the Hammer Pirates with a bounty of 28 million, Rhodes got an additional free talent point, which was naturally very satisfying to Rhodes.
If he continued to hunt pirates with a bounty of less than 30 million, the rewards would become very low, and it would be a waste of time, so Ross completely shifted his focus to pirates with a bounty of more than 30 million.
Kingdom of Smanr.
This is a larger kingdom in the West Sea, one of the more than 170 countries under the World Government, and its king is qualified to participate in the World Conference.
In an alleyway in the kingdom town, Ross was wearing a leather hat, leaning his back against the wall, looking at Robin who was also wearing a hat, and said:
"What's the situation inside? Is there any error or omission in the information?"
Robin was activating her ability to spy on the interior of the building next to her. After observing for a while, she withdrew her ability, nodded to Ross and said:
"There is no problem with the information. The central room on the top floor is where the dark transaction is. The captain of the White Blade Pirates, White Blade, is inside."
The captain of the White Blade Pirates, no one knows his name. They only know that his name is White Blade. He is extremely skilled in swordsmanship. He was once one of the pirate hunters and later became a pirate. The bounty on his head is as high as 35 million Baileys.
This was not the first pirate that Rhodes targeted with a bounty of more than 30 million, but it was the first pirate that he accurately found, and it took him nearly half a month.
"If you hunt a pirate with a bounty of between 30 million and 50 million for the first time, you will definitely get 1 free talent point. In this case, you can finally use the universal talent of physical enhancement."
Ross raised the brim of his hat slightly and stretched his body.
During this period of time, in order to improve his physical fitness, he left all tracking and intelligence matters to Robin, and he worked hard to train his body.
After practicing with all his strength, Ross's physical fitness has also grown a lot. He has adapted to the skyrocketing power of the distortion fruit, and has gained 30 more proficiency points in the power of distortion, raising the power of distortion by another level. cut.
"Wait for me here."
Ross took the 35 million beli bounty note from Robin's hand, gave her instructions, then turned around and raised his hand to press against the wall in front of her.
Buzz!
The force of distortion acted on the wall. Under Ross's precise control, it did not collapse the wall, but only made the wall dent into a place where one could climb.
Ross stepped on his feet and jumped up. While stepping on the sunken position, he grabbed his hand to a higher position on the wall again and took advantage of the situation to jump again.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After two consecutive leaps, Rhodes jumped onto the roof and disappeared.
"He is wanted by the navy and is hostile to the World Government, yet he tirelessly hunts pirates everywhere. He is really a strange captain."
Robin murmured as he watched Ross's figure disappear into the sky.
Most of the pirates are hostile to each other, especially in the Grand Line and even the new world in the second half. A fierce battle often breaks out when they meet by chance.
But Ross's behavior was no longer just a chance encounter and then a fierce battle. He took the initiative to hunt down all the famous pirates. He seemed to be stepping on blood and bones to become the most terrifying existence in the Western Sea.
Robin shook his head, activated his ability, and continued to observe the situation inside the building.
In the central room on the top floor.
This is a dark room with curtains drawn to block out all sunlight. Oil lamps are lit in the room, and about twenty people are standing or sitting.
"It took more than half a month to finally contact you."
An old man with a gray beard and a bowler hat sat on one of the sofas with a cane and said to a swordsman wearing a white jacket opposite.
The swordsman in the white jacket is none other than the pirate captain Bai Ren.
"I heard that you are willing to pay a high reward." Bai Ren leaned forward slightly, with a dangerous smile on his face.
The old man in the bowler hat said solemnly: "Yes, forty million beli. This is the reward for our commission."
"That's quite a lot."
Bai Ren leaned back again, leaned on the sofa, and said, "Tell me, what do you want us to do?"
"I need you to destroy the Capone gang's underground stronghold in the Smanle Kingdom. The development of the Capone gang has seriously affected our organization."
There was a hint of coldness in the eyes of the old man in the bowler hat.
When Bai Ren heard this, he couldn't help but show a hint of ridicule and said: "So it's so interesting that the gangsters secretly supported by your Silman Kingdom can't deal with an outside force and need to invite pirates to help."
The old man narrowed his eyes and said: "No, it's not that it can't be settled, but that this kind of matter cannot be dealt with openly. Using the power on the surface to settle it will cause a lot of trouble, so we can only deal with it secretly... Then, you guys will take over Don’t you want to accept this commission?”
"catch."
Bai Ren spoke straightforwardly and said: "But it's also very troublesome to provoke the Capone gang. Forty million Baileys is not enough. I want fifty million Baileys."
"Forty million is already very high."
The old man looked at Bai Ren with a sullen face, as if he didn't intend to add any extra money, while Bai Ren took out his handkerchief and wiped his scabbard, as if he didn't care.
Just when the situation reached a stalemate, an unusual movement suddenly came from the ceiling above everyone's heads.
