Red continent.
Riding the bubble cable car, a group of people from the World Government escorted a large amount of items to Port No. 3 on the edge of the Holy Land.
"Finally delivered... heavenly gold."
Finally setting foot in the port, some government officials breathed a sigh of relief.
Escorting heavenly gold is not an absolutely safe job. Although there are CP0 escorts all the way, there are still cases of being robbed occasionally.
and.
The collection of heavenly gold is not something that can be accomplished peacefully. The unscrupulous people in some countries say they are so poor that they can't even afford food and cannot pay the heavenly gold. They really all deserve to die.
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
Some government officials spoke to people in CP0.
The person from CP0 waved his hand and said: "Next, it will be delivered to the hands of the world's nobles."
"Yes, please escort me there."
The officials of the World Government will return to Pongol Castle, and the remaining transfer work will be carried out by CP0.
Several CP0s nodded. This was not their first time escorting Tianshangjin.
And at this time.
The captain of CP0 suddenly looked in a certain direction strangely.
"What's wrong?"
asked the person next to him.
Captain CP0 released the Haki of Insight and Sensation, but couldn't sense anything, so he couldn't help but shake his head.
"nothing… "
It must be an illusion.
Just after a few people left with Tianshangjin, the void suddenly twisted next to a certain red rock in that direction, and a figure emerged, it was Ross.
He did not choose to invade directly from above the Holy Land, because according to the intelligence he learned, there was some kind of special equipment for real-time monitoring over Mariejoia to prevent anyone from trying to invade or cross from the sky.
Using distorted light and sound, he advanced from the bottom of the sea and easily arrived on the red earth continent.
but.
I just had a face-to-face encounter with the captain of CP0, but he was almost discovered. Distorting light and sound makes it impossible to avoid seeing and hearing.
And the only way to avoid being exposed is the trick he just used... space concealment.
Using the ability to distort space, he distorts the surrounding space and wraps himself up. In this way, even if he sees and hears Haki, he can only pass through the distorted space and cannot touch Ross's body.
certainly.
This ability also has a flaw, that is, when it is used, the whole person seems to be stuck in a quagmire, making it difficult to move.
If you want to move in this state, you have to maintain the space that wraps you like a quilt, and at the same time continue to pull the space further ahead to move.
Although Ross can indeed do it, it consumes too much physical strength and moves too slowly, so this ability can only be regarded as a simple ability to become invisible in place.
"Heavenly gold..."
Rhodes looked at the direction where CP0 and the government officials were leaving, his eyes unwavering.
He has seen too much of the ugly side of this world, and he will no longer be moved by it in his heart.
The Tianlong people have been in that position for long enough. Even without him, they will be overthrown sooner or later.
But now that he is here, the person who does this will not be a revolutionary army or a pirate king, but him.
Take a step forward.
Rhodes followed the people escorting the Heavenly Gold and quickly crossed the man-made green forest in the first half of Mariejoia and arrived at the center of power of the World Government, Pongol Castle.
This is not a tall building, but when viewed from a distance, it gives people a majestic and majestic aura.
even.
Even the Navy Headquarters Fortress that Rhodes once destroyed is not as good as this castle that does not seem to have much defense.
Because it represents the center of the world government, and the highest power of the world government stands here.
“Pongal Castle…”
Ross looked at the castle with a little glimmer in his eyes.
He did not crudely use the color of seeing and hearing to perceive, because there are many strong people who are proficient in the color of seeing and hearing. Once he uses the color of seeing and hearing to perceive, the other party will also be able to discover his existence.
I have to say it.
Rhodes is not very afraid of the Five Old Stars.
Because the Five Old Stars are just the five highest-status people among the Celestial Dragons, as Celestial Dragons, they hold power, but they may not have much combat strength.
Will the Celestial Dragons fight
I'm afraid not in my lifetime.
If you haven't experienced a real battle, you won't be much stronger anyway. Even if you use the government's intelligence department to collect the top Devil Fruits, you probably won't be stronger than the admiral.
What really matters to Ross is the people hidden behind the scenes.
Why does Doflamingo know that the fruit of the surgery can use the immortality surgery? There is no doubt that someone in history must have used this procedure.
What would happen if a person lived for hundreds of years
There may be limits to physical strength and the like, but things like sight, hearing, color, and weaponry will probably reach a terrifying level.
At least Ross was sure that if he lived to be hundreds of years old, he might be able to beat himself with one hand.
certainly.
Care does not mean fear.
Now he... is recognized as the strongest in the world!
He has never had any fear of the World Government a long time ago, and now that he has become the strongest person in the world, it is even less possible for him to have any fear!
"If nothing else, the Soul Soul Fruit should be placed in the core warehouse, but it still needs to be confirmed."
Ross murmured softly.
There is a huge warehouse in the Holy Land Mariejoia, which stores all kinds of weapons, contraband and other things.
In addition to this warehouse on the surface, there is also a core warehouse, which stores extremely precious things. Even the Tianlong people are prohibited from taking things from the core warehouse without the permission of the Five Old Stars. .
As for the location of the core warehouse, Rhodes learned from the intelligence, which was a favorable situation for him.
Uh-huh!
Rhodes used Distorted Light to refract the image of a government official in his memory onto himself, replacing his own appearance.
After looking at Pangle Castle in front of him, Ross just walked over.
Not worried about being found out.
Except for the top-notch seeing and hearing colors, ordinary seeing and hearing colors can perceive people's movements, but they cannot replace the eyes.
Therefore, the external image created by distorting light can still confuse most people.
soon.
Ross walked to the main entrance of the castle. When the guards outside the castle saw Ross, they bowed to Ross without any obstruction.
After entering Pangle Castle, Rhodes walked around naturally. After going around in a circle, he began to look for accurate information about the Soul Soul Fruit.
Although he has not done intelligence collection work for a long time, his level in this area will not lag behind.
It didn't take long.
Rhodes received accurate information. The Soul Soul Fruit was sent to the Holy Land Mariejoia one day ago and was recorded and stored in the warehouse. It was indeed included in the core warehouse.
