Somewhere dark underground.
The sound of gurgling water resounded in the moist underground. This was an underground river deep in the island. It was said to be an underground river, but it was actually connected to the sea.
In the center of this underground river, a ship is parked there. It is full of ancient atmosphere and the surface is covered with moss, as if it has experienced hundreds of thousands of years.
Ancient weapon - Hades.
"Is this the legendary ancient weapon, a product made by that empire..." Robin came to Pluto's side and reached out to stroke the moss on it.
She is not interested in the power of Pluto, but Pluto is an ancient weapon that transcends eras and represents a part of the history of that era, and studying that part of history has long been her life goal.
"I heard that one cannon can flatten an island. This is quite powerful."
Ross looked up at the entire Pluto ship.
Whitebeard, or himself, now has the power to easily destroy an island. If no one stops him, it is not difficult to sink an island into the sea.
But it would be very difficult to completely flatten a large island with one blow. Rhodes had never tried it, and he would not be able to use a large island to practice boxing.
Being able to rank as an ancient weapon with the Neptune Shirahoshi who controls the Neptune class, there is no doubt about the power of the Pluto ship. When it fires a shot at the Navy headquarters, few people can stop it.
"Tell me whether you want to shoot at the Holy Land when you go back."
Ross smiled at Robin.
Robin said without looking back: "That means forcing the World Government to fight us to the death. Are you ready?"
Robin knew that Ross's goal was not to become a Yonko or a Pirate King, but to destroy all pirates and then overthrow the World Government.
"Well, I'm really not ready yet."
Ross walked up to Robin, stretched his hands from her waist, hugged her from behind, and said, "But I'm ready to give you a shot."
“…”
Robin conjured up a bunch of arms to pull Ross away, and continued to study the history contained on Pluto that belonged to hundreds of years ago.
The ship Pluto is not an ordinary sailing ship, but it is somewhat difficult to drive. Ross and Robin boarded Pluto and studied it carefully before understanding part of it.
but.
It doesn't matter whether it can be driven or not. Rhodes doesn't intend to drive the Pluto through the streets. Of course, it is more stable to use the twisted gravity to fly the entire Pluto ship back to the world.
"Let's go back and study it again."
Ross got dressed and saw that Robin was continuing to study Pluto. He said something to her, walked to the stern of Pluto's ship, and struck a twisting force into the current.
Wow!
The Pluto ship, which had been stationary for hundreds of years, finally moved again, although it was not driven by its own power.
Rhodes controlled the ocean currents and pushed the Pluto ship forward in the underground river.
The water level got higher and higher as it went forward, eventually filling the entire underground cave. Ross directly used the twisted wall to push open the sea water and rushed into the dark current.
After walking forward for several hundred meters, he finally broke out of the cave and appeared dozens of meters below the sea, then quickly surfaced.
As the waves roll.
The ancient weapon Pluto, which has been dormant for hundreds of years, has finally been revealed again!
"rise!"
Ross took a deep breath and exerted twisted gravity, which acted on the entire Pluto ship, slowly lifting the ship into the sky, then quickly rising up, and finally disappearing into the sky.
…
World Government.
Pongal Castle, Between the Powers.
The Five Old Stars had already learned the news about Ross's appearance in Alabasta, and gathered in the power room, discussing with each other with solemn expressions.
"Alabasta...why did Ghost Hand go there?"
"The Neferutali family is the only descendant of the original twenty people who stayed in the lower world..."
"In other words, a traitor."
"Is there some secret collusion between Ghost Hand and the Neferutali family? After all, that family was once a descendant of the king. Does it know something?"
The faces of the Wulaoxing people were a little cold and solemn.
They didn't care about the Neferutali family. Although they were descendants of the king, they chose to stay in the lower world and did not have the identity and power of the Celestial Dragons.
But if people from this family knew some secrets and colluded with the Ghost Hand Pirates, it would be no small matter.
In fact.
The current Ghost Hand Pirates make the Five Old Stars a little restless.
If the Ghost Hand Pirates attacked the red-haired and Kaido Kaido, snatched the historical text of the road sign, and pretended to conquer the Grand Line, set foot on Rafdru, and become the new Pirate King, they would not be like what they are now. So alert.
It's not like the Pirate King has never appeared in history. It will not affect the operation of the world government. On the contrary, it will attract countless challengers to challenge it.
On the contrary, the world government can be happy to see this result.
but.
Rhodes has no intention of becoming the Pirate King, but the continued stable development, especially the internal governance of the nations and the external expansion, makes the Five Old Stars faintly uneasy.
They always felt that Ross's purpose would not be as simple as governing all nations and becoming an 'emperor' who ruled over the sea.
"correct."
"Alabasta may have clues to the ancient weapon Pluto."
One of the Five Old Stars thought of something, and suddenly spoke with a solemn expression.
The expressions of the other four people changed when they heard this.
In addition to Ross, there is also Nico Robin who appears in Alabasta, and Nico Robin is the only survivor of O'Hara, the only person who can interpret the original text of history!
This combination immediately made Wulaoxing feel bad.
"Something is wrong."
"If his goal was ancient weapons, he might have succeeded by now!"
"Ghost hands have ancient weapons... Trouble..."
Several of the five old stars showed solemn and headache expressions.
Originally, the Ghost Hand Pirates were already their most troublesome force, but now if they had ancient weapons, it would be even more powerful.
Judging from this situation, if the Navy Headquarters gets ready to fight the Ghost Hand Pirates, even if it can win, it will probably be a miserable victory and the casualties will be extremely heavy!
"Ancient weapons cannot fall into his hands."
One of the Five Old Stars spoke in a deep voice.
But everyone else was silent. They absolutely didn't want to see the ancient weapons falling into Ross's hands, but how to stop them was a big problem.
It is impossible to send the entire navy headquarters to the new world to fight the Ghost Hand Pirates.
"There is no way to stop this matter. What we can do is to get Pluto's design drawings as soon as possible and let the people of CP9 speed up their actions."
The five old stars holding the sword said in a deep voice: "With the design drawings, Bega Punk can copy the ancient weapon Pluto!"
"It can only be the."
Several people around him nodded or sighed.
