Sky Island Bika.
Rhodes stood on the edge of the deck of the dilapidated government ship, talking to the five old stars on the other side of the phone bug, and hung up the phone bug.
Lafitte, who was standing next to him, as well as Helding, Luo and others on the coast, all heard the entire conversation clearly, but no one made a sound.
After Rhodes hung up the phone, the air fell into silence.
"Hey… "
I don't know who made a laugh, which seemed to be the beginning. Everyone present laughed. Lafitte had an evil smile on his face, Luo Heiran smiled, Hailding and others grinned...
No one showed any fear because of Ross's provocation to the Five Old Stars.
They are the Ghost Hand Pirates.
Everyone standing here, whether it is Lafitte or Luo, or Haildin of the giant clan, etc., is either a person who goes his own way, or a warrior with a proud heart.
Even though their power is still very weak now, far from being comparable to the World Government, they even appear to be extremely weak in front of the Yonko Pirates.
but.
That's just for now.
The will belonging to Ross, in the battle with the general, in the process of killing the Celestial Dragon, in the conflict with the Golden Lion, in the battle to annihilate CP0... has long been implemented in the entire group of the Ghost Hand Pirates.
Everyone in this group has a common attitude towards the future, which is confidence, just like Jinbe who shouted "just four emperors" to BIGMOM, like Zoro who wants to become the world's greatest swordsman, like he wants to become the Pirate King Luffy.
Even if the strength is not strong enough, the will can no longer be shaken!
Whether it’s the Yonko, the Navy, or the World Government!
Whether it's survival in the cracks or a life or death crisis!
Looking at the grinning giants, looking at Lafitte who was grinning evilly, looking at Trafalgar Law with his mouth slightly raised, Ross saw the 'power' condensed between them.
The moment Ross also smiled, something seemed to wake up in his body, like a seed that fell to the ground and finally pulled out a bud.
It was a breath.
An aura similar to the Armament Color and the Knowledge Color, but different from these two.
…
Half a month later.
There is a huge open space on the side of Sky Island Bika.
The sand giant Rhodes is joining forces with the metal giant Statham to fight against the thunder giant Haildin. However, even if the two join forces, they are still defeated by Haildin's power.
Haldin is the strongest among all giants, and the Thunder Fruit is even more powerful. Although Rhodes and Statham are also developing their own fruits to become stronger, no matter the speed of growth or the starting line of strength, , are far inferior to Hailding.
"It's hard to beat this big guy. The captain really did something terrible."
Luo Guiwei, carrying the demon sword, sat on a raised island cloud not far away, looking at Haildin who was shining with thunder in the field, his eyes flashed and he murmured.
Lafitte stood beside him. The two of them seemed to have just finished practicing and were taking a break.
"The sand and metal are fine, but the power of thunder is possessed by the giants... Hahahaha, I can only say that fortunately they are not enemies."
The other side.
Ross was walking alone in the air. He applied three times the gravity to himself and used the moon step under the three times the gravity.
Moon Step is a very physical move, and the distance it moves in the air is not long. Under triple gravity, it becomes even more difficult. Even Ross has only recently reached triple gravity to perform Moon Step. The degree of stability of one's body in the air.
call!
When the physical exertion bottomed out and sweat stained his forehead, Ross ended his practice, fell back to the ground, and dragged his tired body back to the palace and came to a large bathroom.
There was a hazy mist in the bathroom, and there seemed to be someone vaguely there. Ross ignored it and took off his clothes, walked into the water, and soaked his body in the pool, leaving only his head exposed.
"Is today's practice over?"
On the other side of the pool, Robin put a white bath towel on his body without changing his expression, continued to soak in the water, and asked in a calm tone.
Ross looked back and said: "No, I haven't exercised much. I plan to adjust it today."
Robin asked calmly: "So this is the reason why you came to the women's bath?"
“…”
Ross glanced at Robin and said, "How is your arm recovering?"
"It's okay to grab something light."
Robin's jade hand gently brushed the water, causing a ripple, and said: "It feels like I will be almost recovered in about ten days."
"The recovery speed is faster than Luo expected."
Ross lay in the water and opened his mouth. Since he was a person with abilities, most of his body was immersed in the water, and his body was also in a limp state.
Speaking of which, there is a very special talent in the talent system called 'Water Element Affinity'. Ross once asked the talent system what this talent meant, and the talent system gave him a response.
That's right.
This talent is to get rid of the side effect of turning into a landlubber after eating a Devil Fruit, so that the body can be closer to the sea again and no longer rejected by the sea.
In addition, this talent can also have the characteristics of underwater breathing, ignoring water pressure, etc. It will cost 2 free talent points to select it.
However, the distortion fruit itself can hold up the wall of distortion and repel the sea water, so Ross has no idea of using this talent, unless he encounters some danger and falls into the sea and is too late to use the power of distortion to repel the sea water. Only then can it be possible to temporarily save lives.
Wow!
After soaking for a while, Robin stood up from the pool wrapped in a white bath towel. The towel wrapped her tightly so that nothing could be seen.
Ross glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, and with a thought, he summoned the talent system.
He has not used the 110 proficiency points he got from killing the CP0 deputy director before. He did not have an overload of exercise today, just to adjust and use these talent points.
Looking at the translucent talent system interface, Rhodes did not think about it and first focused 40 points of talent proficiency on agility enhancement.
Buzz!
Golden light swayed gently in the water patterns, and the general-purpose panel changed.
Agility enhancement: 300 (top enhancement)
Physical Strengthening: 500 (full value)
Spiritual heart: 0 (primary strengthening)
Tenacity: 50 (intermediate strengthening)
After gaining these 40 points of proficiency, the agility enhancement has reached the 300-point level. With this improvement, even if there is still a big gap between him and Kizaru, he is still different from the previous CP0 deputy chief, or Qingzhi. There is basically no difference.
Ross decisively filled the remaining 70 proficiency points directly on the twisted fruit.
Firearms Shot: 50
Melee Combat: 100
Twisted Fruit: 600
Navy Six Style Shave: 0
Paper painting of the Sixth Form of the Navy: 0
Sixth Naval Style: Moon Step: 0
Wisdom and domineering power: 100
Armed color domineering: 50
With these 70 points of proficiency, the total proficiency of the twisted fruit has reached 600 points, and finally the gray 'distorted space' branch has turned into an activateable green!
At the same time, Rhodes also saw the conditions for activating the twisted space.
5 free talent points!
