“…”
Looking at the islands, Ross' eyes flickered and he was silent for a while.
The bounty on the Golden Lion was also extremely high back then. Although the bounty was eliminated after being captured in Impel Down, after escaping from prison, the bounty was placed on him again. Although it was not as high as before, it still reached as much as 1.7 billion!
A reward of 1.7 billion!
If he can kill the Golden Lion, the talent point reward he will receive will be enough to increase his strength by a large margin. However, the problem is that the strength of the Golden Lion fully corresponds to this bounty!
Not to mention the encounter with Luffy and his gang, and their defeat under the halo, before the Golden Lion escaped from prison, he was able to break into the Navy Headquarters by himself, fight with Garp Sengoku at his peak, and destroy nearly half of the Navy Headquarters. exist.
Even if he breaks his legs in order to escape from prison and his brain becomes abnormal, his strength will not decline too much. At least he can remain at the level of a naval admiral!
"It's not easy to deal with."
Ross pondered for a moment, and finally made this assessment in his heart: Golden Lion Shiji was not among his prey for the time being.
But just as Ross's ship continued to fly upward, and was about to separate from the Golden Lion island, a figure cut through the clouds and came quickly through.
"somebody is coming!"
"high speed."
Lafitte and others were aware of the approaching figure, and they all looked wary. Almost at the next moment, the figure drew an arc and landed on the deck of the ship.
"Jie hahahaha... Being able to make a ship fly is a very good ability. Who is your captain?" The golden lion landed on the ship, grinning with a cigar in his mouth.
Although he didn't show anything like the overlord's domineering aura, the aura that belonged to the legendary pirate was also revealed in an instant, making Kaku and others feel heavy breathing.
Looking at the uninvited golden lion, Ross stood there and said calmly:
"I am the captain. Unfortunately, there is no drink on board to entertain you, Golden Lion."
“…”
The golden lion looked at Ross and narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he had been staying in the sky, he was not ignorant of things at sea. Ross, who had a bounty of one billion beli, was enough to enter his eyes. When he saw Ross, he recognized him.
He thought he was an unknown person, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a famous pirate. This was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for him, and he was even more eager to recruit. Moreover, Ross could shout out his title. See I don't know anything about him either.
"Your name is Ghost Hand Ross... Jie hahahaha, how about joining the Flying Pirates?!"
After the Golden Lion stared at Ross for a moment, he suddenly grinned, with a hint of dominance in his eyes. He raised a hand and made a fist in front of him, saying: "If you join forces with me, sooner or later this sea will be ours." thing!"
Ever since he was imprisoned in Impel Down City, his old subordinates have almost dispersed. Now there are only a few who are following him. He is alone, and not even one of his subordinates is capable of fighting.
Pirates with a bounty of one billion, no matter their strength or fame, are qualified to join his pirate group, and can become a sharp sword in his hand!
"Controlling the sea is indeed what I want to do, but..."
Ross looked calmly and spoke. Even under the momentum brought by the golden lion, his expression did not move or change at all, and said: "I am not interested in being someone else's subordinate."
"Hey."
Hearing Ross's clean rejection, the golden lion immediately let out a hey, put down his fist, raised his head slightly, and said: "Although I haven't paid attention to the sea for a long time, I still have a little understanding. Do you think that based on your words, Can you defeat those four emperors?!"
As far as the Golden Lion is concerned, among the four emperors, except for Whitebeard, who is of the same era as him, the others all rose much later than him, so in his eyes, they are all juniors.
"If you don't try it, how will you know?"
Ross responded calmly.
The Golden Lion stared at Ross for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and laughed. A burst of "Jie Hahahahaha" sounds echoed in the clouds. At the same time, a violent and chaotic aura suddenly spread out in all directions.
Overlord color... domineering!
Almost instantly, the nearby clouds were violently affected and stirred up like a whirlpool, as if the sky and the earth were eclipsed!
This domineering aura was far beyond what Qingjiao could match. Owl, Kalifa and the others immediately passed out. Bruno barely survived, but his breathing was stagnant and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
As for Kakugabra and Robin, they were also under great pressure.
Only Lafitte could remain somewhat calm, while Ross still stood there with calm eyes.
"Overlord color and domineering..."
Feeling the subtle vibrations and pressure coming from the body surface, Ross murmured in his heart. This was the second time he encountered the overlord's domineering force.
Looking at Ross and others, the golden lion gradually stopped laughing, slowly floated up, and looked down at Ross.
"It's great to have such courage, but courage alone is not enough. Without enough strength, it's just empty talk!"
Even the Golden Lion himself was very sure that he could not defeat Whitebeard alone, so he naturally scorned Ross's 'arrogant' attitude.
However, he understands the mentality of newcomers like Ross who have just emerged. It is normal to be arrogant and arrogant. Only by experiencing failure and the gap with the truly strong can he restrain his arrogance. heart.
"Feel the difference, kid with ghost hands!"
He flew to a place about tens of meters away from the ship, his eyes became as still as water, and he raised one leg and swept it violently. The famous sword Deadwood that replaced his calf suddenly burst out with a terrifying sword energy and moved towards it. The ship directly below cuts across.
This sword energy was much stronger than the lieutenant generals Rhodes had encountered. The only one who could compare with it in his impression was the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk!
no doubt.
The Golden Lion is also a great swordsman who stands at the top of swordsmen!
The purpose of this sword is not to wipe out Ross and others, but to rush towards the ship, trying to make Ross realize the gap between him and the strong ones, and to make him feel surrender.
but.
Surrendering to the strong or something like that, this kind of mentality did not exist in Ross's mind from the beginning. Would a person playing the game surrender to the NPC in the game
The answer is of course no!
Whoosh!
Almost at the moment when the golden lion struck, Ross flew into the air, with a calm and indifferent look in his eyes, and suddenly swung his fist towards the sword energy.
With his current twisting power, this kind of great swordsman-level slash could not crush it into a ball, but this did not prevent Ross from blasting it apart with his strength!
boom!
The huge golden sword energy collided with Ross' fist, like a golden crescent moon cutting steel rapidly, and golden light splashed everywhere.
The two forces were in a stalemate for about a second. The huge golden sword energy could no longer maintain its perfect arc. It twisted and broke from the middle, scraped the sides of the ship's hull, fell into the clouds below, and turned a white cloud away. Cut into two pieces.
Ross was floating in the air, looking up at the golden lion in the sky, slowly retracting his fist, his eyes calm.
"The gap is for catching up."
"Tsk..."
The Golden Lion was a little surprised that Ross was able to block his own blow, but he still clicked his tongue. The stronger Ross was, the more strength he could gain by becoming his subordinate.
He waved his legs again, kicking one after another in the void, and instantly swept out seven or eight golden sword energy, like a violent storm, crashing towards Ross head-on, without any intention of holding back.
Although he plans to recruit Ross, a battle is a battle. If Ross dies so easily, it means that Ross is not qualified to be on his ship.
