World Government Ship.
This was a large ship, enough to accommodate nearly a thousand troops, and there were many internal rooms. However, because Ross did not intend to keep the ship, he directly swept it one by one, and all the walls were covered in it. was directly destroyed.
Ross, Lafitte and others searched separately and quickly scanned the entire ship, basically finding nothing of value.
Rhodes was not surprised. After all, this was a rescue ship.
but.
In a certain room on the ship, Rhodes found a large number of books and various materials. Although he was not interested in books, he still kept the books in this room and sent them outside the ship.
Robin is still injured and cannot organize the information for the time being, but Kalifa is also temporarily capable of organizing the work.
"Move back."
Using his ability to destroy the ship's planks, Rhodes pulled out a large amount of information and books along with the entire room, placed them on the ground at Bika Beach, and asked Rhodes to move them to the palace.
At this moment, a sound of a phone bug suddenly came from inside the already somewhat fragmented hull at the rear.
Puff, puff, puff!
Along with the phone bug's voice came Lafitte's voice.
"Captain Rhodes."
Ross turned around and saw Lafitte walking out of the boat, holding a buzzing phone in his hand, and handed it to him with a questioning look.
There was a look of surprise on Ross's face. He took the phone and looked at it twice. After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone and answered the call.
"Ile, how is the situation? Has the person been found?"
A steady voice came from the other side of the phone, and his tone revealed the aura of a superior person. It was ordinary and plain, and it was not an aura that could be cultivated in a short time.
Rhodes vaguely guessed who was on the other side of the phone, and said in a calm tone: "If you are referring to the vice president of CP0, then unfortunately, you can no longer see him."
“…”
The voice on the other side of the phone was obviously stunned.
About two seconds later, a voice that was obviously different from before and seemed extremely cold came over, accompanied by an extremely depressing aura.
"Who are you?"
"My identity shouldn't be that difficult for you to guess."
Ross spoke in an indifferent tone. He had basically confirmed who the person on the other side of the phone bug was. He was the core of power of the world government and the apparent supreme ruler...
Five old stars!
Less than two seconds after Ross's voice was transmitted, the voice of the third Five Old Star came from the other side of the phone, and his tone was extremely cold.
"Ghost Hands, Ross..."
"It was indeed you who kidnapped Musgarud."
There are only a few people in this world who dare to attack the Celestial Dragons and kill the CP0 deputy chief. The Four Emperors will not do such boring things as kidnapping the Celestial Dragons. Combined with the little information and clues they have obtained before, naturally they will not It's hard to guess who it is.
Realizing that the person on the other end of the phone was Ross, the current situation of Yiler and others was probably very bad. The atmosphere in the top-level government office where Wulaoxing was located became depressed.
All five people looked gloomy.
Even if he is the supreme power of the World Government on the surface and has the power to mobilize all the combat power of the Navy Headquarters at will, he cannot cross the phone bug and capture Ross out of thin air. Even if he hates Ross deeply, he cannot do anything to Ross. So, at least for now, nothing can be done.
"What do you want, Ghost Hands."
"What are you going to do to kidnap Musgarud?"
The Five Old Stars did not use coercion, but asked indifferently one by one, because they knew that threats did not mean anything to Ross.
Ross, who dared to kill the Celestial Dragons in the Chambord Islands, had no effect on dealing with such a lawless existence, unless Ross's weakness could be truly grasped.
"Not ready yet."
Ross spoke calmly.
In the top office of the World Government, the phone bug imitated Ross's expression and tone of voice so perfectly that two of the five old stars instantly showed anger in their eyes.
As the core power of the world government, there are only a few people in the entire world who dare to speak to them in such a tone.
Although the remaining three people did not show anger, they were suppressing their anger in their hearts.
One of them took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "You can put forward conditions, such as ransom, etc. We can discuss how to release Musgarud."
The five old stars jointly hold the highest power of the world government. They are the highest position among the Celestial Dragons. The last name of the five old stars who spoke is... Don Quixote.
Musgard's full name is Don Quixote and Musgard.
The Don Quixote clan was regarded as an "other" by Huo Minggu and Doflamingo's clan. After being expelled from the Celestial Dragons, Musgarud was one of the few remaining descendants.
"talk?"
After hearing what Five Old Stars said, Ross said slowly: "Remove the reward order on me first. I don't mind talking to you."
"Absolutely impossible!"
Almost as soon as Ross finished speaking, a five-old star spoke coldly.
Another five-old star also said in a deep voice: "For another condition, you can pay whatever you want."
joke!
Rhodes is the most vicious new generation pirate that the world government has manipulated public opinion and revealed to the world. If the bounty on him is suddenly removed, wouldn't it mean that the government is bowing to a pirate? !
Not to mention a mere Rhodes, even the Four Emperors would never be able to do it!
The World Government represents the supreme authority in the world and will never bow to anyone, not even the Revolutionary Army, not the Whitebeard Pirates, and not the Roger Pirates!
certainly.
Their real purpose is that as long as Rhodes offers any conditions, no matter how high the ransom is, they can pretend to agree after some negotiations, and take advantage of the opportunity to kill the Ghost Hand Pirates during the delivery.
Afterwards, the world government will report the news to the outside world and formulate a careful battle plan to annihilate the Ghost Hand Pirates in one fell swoop.
After being rejected indifferently, Ross had expected it, and there was no look of surprise on his face.
"That… "
He smiled, the smile was very light and sunny, and said: "What else do you five idiots want to talk about?"
Poof!
This was the sound on the phone, echoing through the offices at the highest levels of the world government.
On the coffee table that had been wiped as clean as glass, five livid faces were clearly reflected.
There was silence throughout the room.
“…”
The five old stars standing in white clothes clenched the hilt of the sword they were holding. At this moment, even with their magnanimity and restraint, there were faint signs of a volcanic eruption.
How many years.
Who dares to call them 'idiots'? !
Even Garp, who had quarreled with them, Sengoku, who had argued with them because of their conflict of will, or Cyborg Kong, no one had ever dared to say such rude words.
Maybe there are four emperors who would call them this, maybe there are big lawless pirates who would talk like this, but those things cannot enter their ears.
And Rhodes.
This was almost a face-to-face teasing. The phone bug learned all of Ross's tone and expression vividly, and displayed it perfectly and clearly in front of the five of them.
I don’t know how long it took, but the expression of one of the Five Old Stars calmed down and he said indifferently:
"Just a lawless junior who, with some power, thinks he can shake the world."
They are the rulers.
No matter how crazy Ross is, he is just a pirate.
For them, even the Yonko Pirates can be wiped out if they do not hesitate to pay a huge price. The Ghost Hand Pirates can survive to this day, but it is just good luck.
The five old stars in white clothes and holding swords said in a calm tone: "Let the intelligence agencies and the navy continue to keep an eye on them."
This is like a completely unequal bet.
The Ghost Hand Pirates must always win in order to survive forever, and they only need to win once, and the Ghost Hand Pirates will cease to exist.
So the only thing they need is enough patience.
