"Get out of the way!"
"What's going on here?"
The patrol guards from the Kingdom of Flowers quickly came to the street. After seeing the corpse lying in the middle of the street and the young man wearing a leather hat, their expressions changed.
Ghost Hand Rhodes!
Although the corpse on the ground was a bit inhuman, after taking a closer look, they recognized that it was the corpse of Shirokuma, the captain of the White Bear Pirates.
"Is there a conflict between Ghost Hand Ross and the White Bear Pirates?"
The patrol leader was a little nervous. This level of pirates was beyond his ability to handle. It would be very troublesome if civilians or nobles were injured.
Fortunately, after some questioning and review, it was found that no nobles or civilians were injured, and the patrol captain breathed a sigh of relief.
Although there are regulations in the entertainment street that prohibit fighting and killing here, these regulations only restrict ordinary small pirates, and are more to protect the civilians and nobles of the Flower Country.
When the chaos in the entertainment street subsided, Ross and Robin had already left there. The ghost-hand Ross had a disagreement and killed Captain White Bear, which became a hot topic in the entertainment street that day.
…
By killing White Bear, the captain of the White Bear Pirates, Rhodes gained another 15 points of talent proficiency. He didn't plan to keep it and directly clicked on the twisted fruit.
After adding 15 points of talent proficiency, the total proficiency of the twisted fruit has reached 190 points, and its scope of action has also become much larger.
For Ross's current physical fitness, the increase in the power of the distortion fruit is completely affordable. I am afraid that it must be at least 230 or 40 points before his body can feel the pressure that is difficult to exert flexibly.
"The White Bear Pirates have a lot of property, more than 30 million beli."
After wiping out the White Bear Pirates, Ross took over all the properties of the White Bear Pirates and plundered them together with the pirate ships. The total amount was more than 30 million Baileys.
Robin looked at the box of money piled there and said, "It should be that all the treasures looted by the White Bear Pirates during this period have just been disposed of here in the Flower Country."
Ross nodded.
There was no gold, silver, jewelry or anything like that, it was all Pele, which would save him from having to think of ways to exchange it for Pele.
"This brings us to more than 120 million beli, but if we want to buy the branches of the precious tree Adam, I'm afraid it's still not enough."
Robin is very aware of the value of Adam the Treasure Tree.
Rhodes threw the box containing the money into the cabin.
"It will always be enough."
He didn't want to rob civilians, but looting pirates was not burdensome or stressful at all. If he was short of money, he could just rob more.
…
In just one and a half days.
Rhodes went on a killing spree in the Kingdom of Flowers, sweeping through all pirate groups. A total of six pirate groups perished in his hands, and countless small pirate groups were defeated.
At first, Ross didn't plan to kill so wantonly. What he didn't expect was that after he killed three pirate groups, a large number of people who slipped through the net secretly colluded with several pirate groups and secretly spread the news that he wanted to kill everyone. The pirates banded together to try to cause trouble for him.
Of course, the ending needs no mention.
Although the assembled pirate group has a bounty of 20 to 30 million, it is completely meaningless to Ross and Robin who ignore the human sea tactics.
When Rhodes went on a killing spree from the coast, sinking two pirate ships in a row, and turning the water on the shore into blood red, the temporary group of rabble completely collapsed.
This incident undoubtedly alarmed the official forces of the Flower Country, but in the end the Flower Country allowed the situation to develop and did not intervene.
After massacring countless pirates, large and small, Ross also collected nearly 300 million beli.
besides.
He also gained 25 talent proficiency points.
Rhodes did not hesitate at all about the allocation of these 25 points of talent proficiency. He directly allocated all 25 points of proficiency to the twisted fruit, bringing the total proficiency of the twisted fruit to 215 points.
When the physical strength is strong enough, improving the ability of the twisted fruit is undoubtedly the most beneficial. These 25 points of proficiency have greatly enhanced the ability of the twisted fruit in Rhodes' body.
Now, he is standing in the cabin of his ship. If he uses the power of the distortion fruit on the hull, he can cover the entire ship!
That is to say.
Now, when Rhodes faces a warship, he only needs to cross the sky with a moon step and land on the warship. He can use the fruit power to instantly twist the warship into a ball!
Moreover, with this level of twisting power, Rhodes can almost block ordinary portable artillery, or even large-caliber artillery on pirate ships, with his ability, and at most it will have a slight impact on him.
Unless it is a heavy cannon, there is no threat to Rhodes.
"The power of the distortion fruit and my physical strength have finally reached balance again. Next, I have to increase my agility as soon as possible."
Feeling the surging twisting power in his body, Ross murmured in his heart.
Now, if he were to challenge him head-on, two or three Major General Bastiu combined would not be his opponent. Even if they were able to use armed Haki, they might not be able to do so if their Haki was very weak. Can block his current twisting power.
But in terms of agility and speed, his current speed is only slightly faster than Bastiu. If he encounters a person who is extremely good at speed or can use his knowledge to be domineering, it is easy to fall into the trap of being able to beat him but not defeating him. Less than that, I was completely entangled in a troublesome situation.
Initially, his strength was speed.
Nowadays, due to the rapid improvement of physical fitness and fruit ability, the speed is somewhat unable to keep up, and it has become a shortcoming and weakness.
"Captain, the auction will start in one hour."
Robin knocked on the door, walked into Ross's room, and reminded Ross.
Robin had found out the auction time and place of the branch of the Adam tree in the past few days. It was placed as the final item in an auction of precious wood officially organized by the Kingdom of Flowers.
"Let's go."
Ross turned around and saw Robin conjuring four hands, carrying four huge suitcases. He couldn't help but smile and took two suitcases from her hand.
"The captain is really considerate."
Robin pursed her lips and chuckled. After being in contact with him for such a long time, she was familiar with Ross's character and would occasionally express some playful tone.
"No, it's just that the four arms are too eye-catching."
Ross shook his head and walked past Robin.
The corners of Robin's mouth curled up slightly, and the two extra arms turned into petals and disappeared. Then he put on a hat, followed Ross to the shore, and walked towards the rare wood auction house.
