Port terminal.
Under the greedy gaze of many people, after the branches of the huge treasure tree were firmly tied, Ross stretched out his hand and pushed it into the water.
Everyone is a little jealous of the 200 million-beli treasure tree Adam branches, but the scene of Rhodes going on a killing spree a few days ago is still vivid in his mind. No matter how thoughtful they are, most of the pirates are far away. Wait and see.
"After getting the branch of the treasure tree Adam, if we build another powerful pirate ship, I'm afraid the navy won't be able to do anything to him anymore."
"Hey, I don't think the navy will let him easily turn Baoshu Adam into a ship. Maybe the encirclement and suppression army is already on the way."
Many people looked at Ross's ship from a distance and talked about it.
Ross ignored the gazes around him. After pushing the boat into the water, he asked the handyman on the boat to untie the rope, pull up the anchor, and slowly leave the port.
"To Boatman Town."
There is an island to the east of the Kingdom of Flowers. It is a famous boatman's town. It is one of the places with the largest number of shipbuilders in the West Sea. The people living in the town are either boatmen or boatman apprentices.
The most important keel of the new ship is already available, and the rest of the materials can be purchased in Boatman Town. There are still more than 90 million beli left, which is enough.
on deck.
Rhodes looked at the scenery in the distance and said: "When a new ship is built, we can put it on the agenda to embark on the Grand Route."
"The Grand Line..."
Robin stood aside, a hint of brilliance flashed through her eyes as calm as the sea. The only thing she longed for in her heart was to find the historical stone tablets scattered around the world and decipher the blank 100-year period. secret.
Judging from the information she has secretly collected over the years, most of the historical stone tablets are on the Grand Line.
The Grand Route, known as the Pirate Graveyard, is naturally full of dangers. From time to time, there will be news that the strongest pirate in a certain sea area was completely defeated on the Grand Route, but that is where she must go if she wants to achieve her goal. place.
She silently glanced at Ross's back.
She didn't know why, but she had an inexplicable feeling. If she kept following Ross, there seemed to be hope that she could achieve her somewhat unreachable goal.
As the boat sailed, the islands of the Flower Country gradually became blurred in the field of vision, and they were gradually moving away from the islands.
And just when the island of the Kingdom of Flowers gradually turned into a small black dot, there was a faint shadow of a ship in the direction of the Kingdom of Flowers, and the pursuers chased after it.
Robin soon spotted the boat that was quickly catching up.
"Captain Rhodes, we seem to be someone else's target."
"Oh? Navy?"
"It seems to be the eight-treasure navy from the Kingdom of Flowers."
Robin and Ross came to the stern of the ship and looked at the catching ship from a distance. Robin's eyes flickered slightly.
As the ship got closer, its shape became clearer and clearer. Although it was huge, it was indeed not a navy warship.
"That's right."
Ross looked at the pirate flag of the ship and did not show any surprise. He said calmly: "After all, this is a country of pirates. How could I be allowed to take away treasure worth 200 million Baileys so easily?" Where’s the tree Adam?”
Rhodes's ship was a light sailing ship, but it carried a heavy branch of the Adam tree, which greatly affected its speed. It didn't take long before it was gradually overtaken by the pirate ships from the Kingdom of Flowers.
On the pirate ship of the Flower Country, there are a large number of pirates with weapons in their hands.
Perhaps the other pirates were frightened by Ross's massacre and did not dare to cause trouble at all, but they were different. They were the famous Eight Treasure Marines in the Grand Line!
"Sure enough, you can't run fast dragging a piece of wood."
Abu, the cadre of the Babao Navy and the younger brother of Lao Cai, the deputy leader, was standing on the deck with three axes on his back. He looked at the Ghost Hand Pirate Ship in the distance and said with a grin.
Lao Cai, the deputy pillar, stood in front of Abu holding a small long-handled naginata, looking ahead with a stern and serious expression.
The leader Qingjiao is not here, he is in charge of this ship.
It is now the eleventh year of the Great Pirate Era. Lao Cai has not yet taken over as the pillar of the Eight Treasure Navy, and Abu is just an ordinary cadre. However, both of them have followed the leader Qingjiao and galloped on the Grand Route.
"Report! The enemy ship has entered the bombardment range."
As the two ships got closer, members of the Babao Navy came forward to report.
"No shelling."
Lao Cai shook his head and said, "Don't break that piece of wood, it's worth 200 million beli."
Abu tilted his head and said: "The material of Baoshu Adam should not be so easy to damage... But forget it, they can't escape even if we shell them."
The distance between the two ships is getting closer and closer.
Both sides can almost see clearly the people on both sides' ships without using telescopes.
"The people on the bow of the boat are Lao Cai and Abu, the thirteenth generation deputy pillars of the Babao Navy. The leader Qingjiao has not been found." Robin whispered to Ross while investigating.
Ross nodded.
The leader Qingjiao, who has a bounty of 500 million, is not someone he can deal with now. If Qingjiao is on that ship, he can only find a way to destroy the Babao Navy's ship and escape.
If Qingjiao wasn't there... A cold light flashed in Ross's eyes.
He looked at the Babao Navy ship from a distance, judged the distance between the two ships, and said calmly.
"Keep your distance. I'll come back as soon as I go."
When Ross's voice echoed in Robin's ears, he was already in mid-air. He raised his feet and took two empty steps in the air. He then directly crossed the sea, drew an arc, and landed towards Babao. Navy ship.
Under the somewhat surprised gazes of many pirates in the Babao Navy, Ross landed behind their deck and landed smoothly.
"Huh."
"Moonstep?"
Abu and Lao Cai turned their heads and looked at Ross, with a slightly different color in their eyes. They had followed the leader Qingjiao through the Grand Route. Naturally, they had a lot of experience. They could still recognize the moon step. of.
The ability of Moon Step is extremely difficult in the Sixth Form of the Navy. Even in the Navy, only officers above the general level can use Moon Step. Rhodes will use Moon Step to make them a little more powerful. Accident.
but.
Even if he could use the Moon Steps, rushing to their ship alone would be too arrogant and he would not take them seriously at all.
Although Rhodes is known as the most ferocious pirate in the Western Sea, that is only limited to the Western Sea. To those of them who have been to the Grand Line, it is nothing.
"The most ferocious pirate in the Western Sea is really brave. Let me see how capable he is."
Abu took off an ax from his back, signaled the many ordinary pirates around him to step back, grinned, and walked towards Ross.
Lao Cai originally planned to take action himself, but when he saw that Abu had already walked up, he did not stop him. Instead, he folded his hands on his chest and stood there watching.
However.
Just as Abu was walking up to meet Ross, Ross suddenly stepped on his foot, and a strange force fell directly on the board of the ship.
Click! Click!
The power of the twisted fruit was centered on the area where Ross stepped on, and spread rapidly in all directions, and the entire middle of the ship was strangely twisted.
"Damn it! This guy wants to damage our ship!"
Abu was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of anger, roared, jumped up, and rushed towards Ross, while the ax in his hand slammed down hard.
