Ross touched his chin, thought for a moment, and said:
"How do you like to bet?"
"Since it is your invitation, it is up to you to decide how to gamble."
Fujitora responded.
Ross reached into his pocket and fumbled around, and finally took out a coin. He stared at the coin and said, "I rarely play, and I don't know anything about complicated things. Why don't you settle on the simplest one?" How about the next one?"
Fujitora nodded and said, "It's perfect."
Ross smiled, put the coin between his fingers, made a pop-up shape, and said: "One side has words, one side has flowers, which side do you bet on?"
"Character."
Fujitora didn't think much about it.
Ross said softly: "Then I am the flower."
Ding!
The moment he finished speaking, he clasped his thumb on the middle of his index finger and flicked it gently. The coin instantly spun and flew into the sky. After reaching the highest point, it fell to the ground below.
Ross and Fujitora both captured the movement of the coins with their domineering aura.
It seemed like a simple bet, but in the hands of the two of them, it couldn't be that simple, because the two of them already knew the answer the moment it popped up.
Since it is a coin played by Rhodes, it must be controlled to fall with a flowery face.
Buzz!
Fujitora's expression remained unchanged. He held the wooden staff in his hand and suddenly took action. A strange force suddenly aroused and instantly enveloped the coin, causing the coin's movement trajectory to change.
Ross's face remained unchanged. He picked it up with his finger, and a wisp of wind came out and bounced on the coin. The falling coin's rotation speed instantly accelerated.
“…”
Fujitora's eyes with only the whites opened slightly, and he slowly brought the wooden stick in front of him. The gravity suddenly increased, pressing heavily on the coin, and the coin fell rapidly.
Zizzi!
Ross's eyes flickered, and in the surge of power, he activated the twisted gravity, destroying the gravity released by Fujitora, causing the coin's fall to suddenly stagnate and bounce back into the sky.
One of the two released gravity, the other released the power of distortion, and collided with each other on this street.
Click! Click!
I don't know when it started, but the ground between Ross and Fujitora began to shatter. It collapsed like a spider web at a speed visible to the naked eye, spreading in all directions inch by inch.
"This... this is..."
During the confrontation, Ross and Fujitora's courage was naturally revealed, and they collided in the void, making the hairs of the dozen or so murderers nearby stand on end.
Looking at the ground that was cracking inch by inch, everyone's hearts jumped violently, showing fear. Even though the cracking of the ground did not spread quickly and there did not seem to be any huge collisions, they all felt it deep in their hearts. A creeping horror.
Once you get involved, you will be shattered to pieces!
"Escape..."
"Run away!"
Someone finally reacted and, in a life-and-death crisis, broke free from the oppression caused by Ross, forcibly moved his legs and fled far away.
However.
The moment they all ran away, Ross in the field flicked his fingers with dull eyes, and shot out a twisting force while resisting Fujitora's gravity.
The force of distortion swept across, like the compression impact of sound waves, causing spring-like distortion marks to appear in the air on the entire street. Wherever it went, the bodies of the murderers were all twisted and squeezed together, even the screams None were sent.
The flesh and bones were continuously squeezed and compressed together, and finally turned into a tight and heavy blood-colored ball, rolling away along the street and disappearing at the end of the field of vision.
boom!
After doing all this, Ross's twisting power was activated and violently collided with Fujitora's gravity. His body swayed and he took a step back, while Fujitora was holding the wooden staff and his clogs. The ground slid continuously for nearly two meters before stopping.
The coin finally fell from the sky and landed on the ground. After rolling twice, it stopped. The upward side was engraved with lifelike petals.
“…”
Fujitora slowly stood up straight.
Ross stood there, looking at Fujitora calmly and smiling slightly.
"Concession."
Fujitora walked towards Ross. While passing by Ross, he paused slightly and said, "I will have to control my face from now on."
no doubt.
In terms of strength, Rhodes is one point stronger than him.
The strength is stronger than him, the will shakes him, and the statement makes him agree. Fujitora has no reason to refuse, not to mention that this last bet has indeed been lost.
"Stay full."
Ross smiled softly.
…
Coastside.
The Ghost Hand Pirates' ship is docked here.
Ross, Fujitora, Lafitte, and Robin walked from a distance and arrived at the shore. Ame no Shiru and others gathered on the deck early, and their eyes were focused on Fujitora.
The aura exuded by a strong man is obviously different from that of ordinary people. Hiruzen Ame can roughly judge that Fujitora has considerable strength, but to what extent, he is not sure.
"Seems like he has some skills."
"After all, he is the one the captain likes."
Fischerman shrugged. The person Rhodes liked could not be too bad.
Strolling along the gangway onto the deck, Ross stretched out his hand to Robin behind him. Robin handed his little hand over, holding Ross's hand and walked onto the deck.
Lafitte was third and Fujitora followed at the end.
"introduce."
Arriving on the deck, Rhodes smiled at Fujitora and said, "Combatant Hiryu Ame, sniper Fischerman, and ship's doctor Trafalgarro."
Ross introduced Ame no Shiru, Fischerman and others to Fujitora one by one.
The end.
Ross looked at Ame no Shiru and others, and briefly introduced Fujitora's name.
Ame no Shiru's attitude towards Fujitora was neither salty nor cold, while Fischerman was observing Fujitora with his tongue licking, trying to judge Fujitora's specific strength.
"I have admired you all for a long time."
After Rhodes introduced him, Fujitora smiled innocently at Ame no Hiryu and others. The smile looked harmless, and said: "I, the unknown person, am so valued by Mr. Rhodes. I feel deeply ashamed." , please bear with me in the future.”
"Too modest."
Trafalgarro hugged the demon sword and cried, and said to Fujitora: "To be valued so much by the captain, he must have extraordinary abilities."
Fischerman tilted his head and looked at Fujitora and said, "Since we are on the same boat, we should get to know each other better. I wonder what your abilities are?"
"Haha...it's just a small skill, nothing worth mentioning."
Fujitora touched the back of his head and smiled, like a harmless middle-aged uncle.
Ame no Hiru came forward with a cigar in his mouth, and he held the second generation Kitetsu in front of him. He looked at Fujitora and said: "I have nothing to do, and I have some itchy hands. How about we compare?"
Although Fujitora came later, his position on the ship cannot always hang in the air. He will eventually fall to where he deserves to be.
On this ship, status is determined not only by the order of boarding, but also by strength. Strength is even more decisive than the order of boarding.
after all.
This is a world of the weak and the strong!
