Half a month later.
Cake Island Central Experimental Base.
This is the core top-secret area of the base. Except for Trafalgarro, Caesar, Robin and a few others, everyone else, even captains, must obtain Ross's permission before coming here, otherwise they are prohibited from entering.
"It's done, the third combat force."
In the slightly empty hall, Ross looked at the figure in front of him and nodded slightly.
The figure had a golden lion head, his head was half lowered, and he held a sword in his left hand and right hand. They were Kumu and Yingju respectively. His identity was self-evident.
Golden Lion... Shiki!
After Rhodes defeated the Golden Lion, he did not kill him on the spot. Instead, he took the half-dead man back to Cake Island and used Luo's surgery and Caesar's technology to transform and strengthen his body.
The golden lion, which was originally in an aging state, was strengthened by Caesar's technology and stimulated by Geertz's healing fruit. Its body cells regained a certain vitality, and its legs were reinstalled by Luo's transformation surgery.
It lasted a total of half a month.
Then came the implantation of Homitz, which is now complete.
Golden Lion Shiji—no, now it should be called the second most powerful puppet under Ross, the Shura Dao puppet.
Today, Ross can directly control three major combat powers, namely the incarnation of the hurricane, Katakuri of the evil ghost path, and the golden lion Shiki of the Shura path.
in.
The combat effectiveness of the incarnation of the hurricane ranks first. It is a combat effectiveness that can completely rival the admiral. And if the fight lasts for ten days and ten nights, it will definitely win in the end, because it does not have a body and its energy is almost inexhaustible. of.
In addition to the hurricane incarnation, the golden lion of Shura Dao ranked second.
Although Rhodes' soul incarnation cannot display his top-level swordsmanship, it can still exert some of it based on the memory of the body itself. Coupled with the domineering power of the Golden Lion itself and its recovery after being transformed by Trafalgar Law and Caesar, As well as the power of the Piao Piao Fruit, its combat power is even higher than Katakuri of the Demon Path.
Ranked third is Katakuri from the Demon Path.
It can be said.
These three combat powers are completely equivalent to the puppets controlled by Ross. They are not separate individuals. They can be regarded as the gun in Ross's hand and the sword in Ross's hand.
There is no doubt that with the existence of these three combat powers, Ross has already reached the level of a Yonko Pirates Group with the power of one person!
If this information is leaked, the World Government will definitely fight and eradicate Rhodes at all costs, but unfortunately, very few people know the secrets here, not even Fischerman and other captains know about it. The existence of puppet incarnation.
Trafalgarro stood next to Rhodes, looking at the golden lion puppet who opened his eyes and called Rhodes 'boss'. His eyes flickered and said: "The power we have now, even if we fight against the Navy Headquarters, we can't." It won’t be empty anymore.”
"almost."
Rhodes thought for a moment and calculated the combat capabilities of Garp, Sengoku, the three generals, the two alternate generals, and the former general Black-Wand Zefa. There was indeed not much difference.
After a simple calculation, Ross shook his head slightly and said: "But if the World Government is included, these combat capabilities are not enough."
“…”
Luo lowered his head and pondered.
The hidden strength of the world government will always only be visible to the tip of the iceberg.
Even the current power of the Ghost Hand Pirates has not made much progress in various intelligence on the World Government.
The only thing we know is that the general marshal of the army, Cyborg Kong, still has a tyrannical combat effectiveness that rivals that of a naval admiral. In addition, the new commander-in-chief of CP0 and the general Hei Jing, who was contemporary with Cyborg Kong, both have extremely high combat effectiveness.
Whoosh!
Ross controlled the puppet incarnation of Shura Dao, launched an attack on himself, and simply exchanged a few moves in the hall of this underground base.
After roughly judging the strength of this puppet incarnation, Ross stopped. As he expected, it was slightly stronger than Katakuri's puppet incarnation.
but.
Compared to the admiral in peak form, it should still be a little worse. After all, it is not the golden lion in peak form, but just a puppet incarnation.
But it would not be difficult to contain a naval admiral in a short period of time.
"It's almost... time to start preparing my plan."
Ross looked at the puppet incarnation in front of him and took a deep breath.
Once Blackbeard defeats Ace and hands Fire Fist Ace to the Navy, then war will be inevitable. During this period, the World Government and the Navy will enter a period of martial law. In a short period of time, they will only defend. Will take the initiative.
And the time between Ace's capture and the outbreak of the war at the top was also the time that Ross had already planned...to destroy the Beast Pirates in one fell swoop!
The new world has had so many rulers for too long.
Four Yonko.
It’s time to reduce one more number!
…
After leaving the core base.
Ross returned to Sky Island Bika, where Robin was still reviewing some important information, sorting it out one by one, and reporting it to Ross.
"The Straw Hats killed a Shichibukai?"
Ross took the newspaper from Robin's hand and looked at the report on it thoughtfully.
Although the Sand Crocodile no longer exists, and Luffy's group still took another route, there is still a Shichibukai on that route. In the end, he fought with Luffy's group and was completely defeated by Luffy.
After this battle, Luffy's bounty jumped to 100 million Baileys, and Zoro and Sanji's bounties reached 30 million Baileys and 28 million Baileys respectively.
"After all, he has the blood of the hero Garp and the leader of the Revolutionary Army."
Robin spoke at the side. Now she has a very clear understanding of Luffy's origin. Garp's grandson, the son of the dragon, the straw hat on his head also comes from the pirate king Roger, and later transferred to the red-haired fragrance. The hand of kes.
The intertwining of these pieces of information is quite remarkable.
"It seems Blackbeard is going to take action too."
Ross picked up an apple, took a bite, and put down the newspaper.
After Blackbeard's defection, the first period of his journey was to recruit partners from all over the world. During this period, he had no specific plan.
And when Luffy defeated a Shichibukai and created a gap in the Shichibukai, he immediately had a plan, that is, to become a Shichibukai first in order to develop.
"black beard?"
Robin took the newspaper off the coffee table and thought: "The intelligence forces have been keeping an eye on him recently, but he hasn't made much movement."
Rhodes said: "Keep staring at him."
"OK."
Robin responded.
Today, Robin was wearing a tight black skirt. Looking up from Ross's angle, one could vaguely see the looming subtleties inside. Her slender legs were so skinny that people couldn't help but want to pinch them.
Ross looked at it for a while, but finally couldn't hold it back and reached out to pinch it.
