With the current situation in the sea, dealing with one of the Four Emperors would require more than just a simple imperial war. The navy and government would definitely take action, and the other Four Emperors might not be able to sit still.
The root cause of the previous chaos during the Five Emperors period was the inevitable result of the imbalance of power, so no amount of chaos could stop it.
but.
After BIGMOM died in the hands of Rhodes, the New World restored the era of the Four Emperors, which was equivalent to restoring balance, so once it started to move, the consequences would be huge.
Rhodes led the main force to leave the waters of Wanguo. Will Wanguo be attacked by the navy
Will the other Yonko intervene
These are all problems. Although the navy dares to intervene in the realm of nations, Rhodes will also attack the navy when he returns from the war, but all this must be mentally prepared in advance.
Judging from Rhodes' current status, it can be said that any decision is enough to cause waves in the Grand Line and even the entire world.
However.
Just as Ross was meditating, Robin suddenly opened the door and walked in from the outside. He said to Ross with a serious expression:
"Our people are fighting with the Whitebeard Pirates."
"With the Whitebeard Pirates? What's going on?"
Ross frowned slightly, looked at Robin, and asked in a deep voice.
Robin held the phone bug in his hand and placed it in front of Ross, saying: "Things seem a bit complicated. You can ask yourself."
"...Is it Captain Rhodes?"
Ame no Shiru's voice came from the other side of the phone.
Ross looked at the phone bug, his eyes flickered slightly, and asked: "Why did you fight with the Whitebeard Pirates? What happened?"
"It's a long story, but I haven't gotten into a fight with them yet."
Yuzhiliu's voice was slightly suppressed and said: "Now I am on my way out. This matter has exceeded the scope of Yixiao Guy's disposal. I can only ask you."
Hearing that Shiru of the Rain had not yet started fighting with the Whitebeard Pirates, Ross estimated that the situation was not bad enough to start a war, so he softened his tone slightly and asked:
"Tell me more specifically."
"Is such that… "
Yu Zhixi stayed on the other end of the phone and spoke slowly, describing one by one what happened during the days when Ross was away.
Today's Ghost Hand Pirates are vigorously expanding the Sixth Division's intelligence unit, and their branch personnel are spread across many islands, including the territories of other four emperors.
Just a few days ago.
A member of the intelligence force discovered a Devil Fruit on Prost Island, one of Whitebeard's territories. When he was about to bring it back, he was discovered by someone under the Whitebeard Pirates.
The Devil Fruit appeared in Whitebeard's territory, but it was discovered by Ross's people first. It was obvious that the two sides could not reach a consensus on who this Devil Fruit should belong to.
Although the pirates on that island were not pirates directly under Whitebeard at all, but just a small team among the sixteen branch fleets under his command, the intelligence personnel on Rhodes' side were even more weak, and the demons The fruit was eventually snatched away.
The devil fruit discovered by the intelligence team was stolen. Is this okay? !
Although the matter involved the Whitebeard Pirates, due to time constraints and the fact that Ross, Robin and others were dealing with matters at the Science Force base, the lower-level report was only submitted to Kaku's level, and Kaku's decision It's to get back the devil fruit.
The Devil Fruit they found was snatched away by others. If Ross knew about it afterwards, what would it be like given Ross's character? !
No one can steal anything from them, not even the Whitebeard Pirates.
and.
The other party is not the Whitebeard Pirates. It is just a small team under the Citigroup Pirates that is attached to the Whitebeard Pirates. They are thousands of miles away from Whitebeard.
After Kaku made the decision, since he was in the nearby sea, he personally went out and snatched the Devil Fruit back again.
However.
After snatching it back, the Citizen Pirates were naturally furious. The captain immediately ordered the entire ship to pursue them. Since the place was in the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates, Kaku and others were eventually caught up.
Kaku did not expect that the other party would pursue so quickly, and he responded in a hurry. The two sides fought a bloody battle on the sea, both with real fire. In the end, both sides suffered heavy casualties.
This time the situation changed drastically.
What was originally just a matter for the lowest-level members turned into a bloody battle between Kaku and the Citizen Pirates, which is affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates. He could no longer suppress it and reported it to everyone.
"So...the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates has already dispatched?"
After Ross listened to Yu Zhiliu's detailed report, he asked Yu Zhiliu.
"yes."
Ame no Shiru said coldly: "Since the captain has been dispatched on the other side, we can't remain indifferent. I plan to go there, but a head-on conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates is something Fujitora can no longer afford. Responsibility."
When Rhodes was not in the Sea of Nations, most matters were handled by Fujitora, but there was an upper limit to what Fujitora could handle. He had a head-on conflict with the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. It was obvious that he could not make a decision on such a major matter and had to report it. To Rhodes.
"I see."
Ross nodded and said, "What is the ability of that devil fruit?"
"I don't know...well...it's a superhuman transfer fruit."
Yuzhiliu didn't care about the specific ability of the devil fruit, but the vice-captain next to him told him in a low voice.
Transfer the fruit
A trace of surprise flashed in Ross's eyes. He was very impressed with this fruit. It was one of the abilities of a certain pirate who had died in his hands.
It can transfer all attacks and all damage within the range, which is similar to the ability of great teleportation. This fruit is undoubtedly extremely powerful!
"Then, Captain, your decision is..."
Yuzhiliu held the phone bug and slowly spoke to Ross on the other side of the phone bug.
"Go ahead."
Ross's eyes became calmer and he said indifferently: "Let the white-bearded people show some respect. Not everyone is qualified to snatch our things!"
"I see."
Shiliu of the Rain grinned, as if he had expected Ross to make such a decision. He followed Ross all the way, but he had never seen Ross afraid of anyone.
Even the Navy Headquarters dared to break through.
Destroy the navy's headquarters fortress in front of Marshal Sengoku.
These crazy things and crazy decisions have determined that the Ghost Hand Pirates are the most untouchable beings on the sea!
Poof.
The phone bug was hung up.
Robin put the phone bug in her pocket, and her expression did not show any surprise or change due to Ross's words. She seemed to have guessed the result.
"Have you made your decision?"
"The ability to transfer the fruit, if used by the giants, can create a powerful fighting force."
Ross picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water, and said: "So this fruit... I want to decide! Even Whitebeard can't keep it!"
