Ross exerted a little force with his five fingers, and the long sword twisted and broke. At the same time, a twisting force was transmitted along the blade and bombarded the colonel, causing blood to spurt out of his mouth and fly out upside down.
Then he stepped on it, and strange ripples appeared on the entire ship again, spreading in all directions. Eventually, countless ship boards overturned, and the entire ship suddenly folded from the middle, and then broke apart with a crash.
After destroying two warships in a row, Rhodes stood on the broken warship and took a breath. After making a slight adjustment, he jumped up and fell to the sea.
Destroying warships consumes less physical energy than Ross imagined.
Although continuously stimulating the power of distortion with all his strength in a short period of time would place a heavy burden on his physical energy, destroying two warships only consumed about 20% of his physical strength.
This consumption is completely affordable.
Whoosh!
Rhodes continued to rush to the next warship.
His body is actually running on the sea surface. When he can use the moon step, the air can become a pedal, so it is naturally much easier to use the sea water as a pedal.
With his current power of the twisted fruit, the distance between the phantom formed by refracted light and his body can reach 20 to 30 meters, which is enough to make the artillery fire on the warship miss the target.
Wow!
After a burst of ineffective artillery fire, Rhodes stepped on his feet and made a splash on the sea. He jumped up and landed on top of the warship.
"He's coming!"
"Damn! What to do?"
Seeing Rhodes once again ignoring the shells, jumping up from the sea and rushing onto the warship, many sailors on the warship showed a bit of panic.
However.
Almost at the moment Ross jumped onto the warship and before he could land, a powerful sword energy came from the west and slashed his head down.
Ross was slightly startled, but not panicked. He hugged his hands from both sides, clamped the sword energy between his palms, and then spun his whole body in the air, twisting with the sword energy. After that, he threw the sword energy towards the sea.
laugh!
The sword energy fell into the sea and cut a crack of more than ten meters in the sea.
Looking at the aftermath on the sea, Ross's eyes fluctuated slightly, but his expression was very calm. He had already guessed who swung this sword. There is no doubt that the only one who can display this level of swordsmanship is the one from The Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters is a ghost spider.
I also have some impressions of Ross, the character of Ghost Spider. I vaguely remember him as the one who cooperated with General Kizaru in the original book to put the sea tower stone shackles on Marco, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates 1st Division, during the war.
Ross turned his head and looked towards the direction of the sword energy.
over there.
A figure with brownish-purple hair and a navy cloak of justice embroidered with the epaulettes of a general officer is standing on the top of the cabin. It is the Rear Admiral Ghost Spider of the Navy Headquarters!
He held a long sword in each hand and was staring at Ross coldly.
"It's... Major General Ghost Spider!"
"Yes, saved..."
Many sailors on the warship did not see when Ghost Spider arrived on the warship, but when they saw the power of Ghost Spider's sword, they were frightened and relieved.
Rhodes' strength is too terrifying for them, and they cannot resist it at all. The only person they can suppress Rhodes here is the elite major general sent from the Navy Headquarters on the Grand Line, Ghost Spider!
As the Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Ghost Spider has a great reputation on the Grand Line. He has even suppressed pirates with a bounty of over 100 million, so it is no problem to deal with a mere Rhodes.
Having him on the warship was like taking a piece of reassurance for the many sailors present. The panic and fear gradually subsided, replaced by calmness.
"Ghost-hand Ross... you bastard..."
Ghost Spider looked at Ross who stepped onto the deck, his face extremely gloomy, and said coldly: "Do you know how much responsibility I have to bear for the loss of two warships?!"
When the last sentence was spoken with an angry tone, he stepped on his foot, and his whole person suddenly turned into an afterimage, and rushed towards Ross. The two swords in his hands carried a powerful force, and crossed towards Ross. fall.
Whoosh!
Ross turned his steps and also performed the shave in the Sixth Marine Style. After avoiding the sword, his whole body flew into the air and swept towards the ghost spider with one leg.
Ghost Spider snorted coldly and blocked the attack with the horizontal sword.
Buzz!
Ross's leg kicked the side of the Ghost Spider's sword, and the twisting force suddenly aroused, causing its arm and the blade to shake slightly.
There is a huge gap in strength between the branch major generals and the headquarters major generals. One is responsible for guarding places like the east, west, north, south, and the other, while the other is responsible for guarding the Grand Route!
As a rear admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Ghost Spider is not only proficient in the six naval styles, but he is also able to use the two-color Haki freely!
After a stalemate, the two of them each took a few steps back.
"If the loss of two warships annoys you, then I'm sorry because this is just the beginning."
Ross looked at Ghost Spider and said calmly: "I said it when you forced me to become a pirate. I hope you won't regret the order you gave me at that time."
Ghost Spider was slightly silent after hearing Ross's words.
regret
A little bit really.
But what he regretted was not that he characterized Rhodes as a pirate, but that he failed to deal with Lieutenant Colonel Laika, a waste in the navy, as early as possible.
When things have reached this point, there is no possibility of reversal. The navy will never make concessions for personal reasons. Only by suppressing Rhodes in the sea can the majesty of the navy be demonstrated and deter the young and vicious people on this sea. disciples.
"The Navy once invited you to join. From the moment you refused, it means that there is no justice in your heart. Even if there is no such thing, you will definitely go on a path that goes against justice, so sophistry is meaningless!"
Ghost Spider spoke coldly, took a step forward, held the sword in his left hand and swept it across, and held the sword in his right hand and slashed smoothly, swinging out a cross sword energy and slashing towards Ross.
"Not a bad excuse."
A trace of ridicule flashed across Ross's face, and he punched out, hitting the center of the cross sword energy. The twisted force suddenly exploded, twisting and shattering the cross sword energy, and the broken sword energy splashed on the surrounding ship boards. on the ship, cutting cracks into the ship's planks.
After crushing the ghost spider's sword energy, Ross suddenly stepped forward, with a strong twisting force wrapped in his fist, and hit the ghost spider's chest.
Buzz!
The Ghost Spider crossed his swords. After resisting Ross's blow, he suddenly swung out the two swords. At the same time, he jumped up and swept his legs.
Lanjie!
The two sword auras swung out with tyrannical leg power were intertwined with the sword aura from his two swords, forming a net of sword aura and slashing towards Ross.
Ross looked indifferently, spread his hands up and down, directly grabbed the incoming sword energy net and tore it violently. After tearing it off from top to bottom, he stepped directly through the middle.
"Twisting and dancing."
As he took one step forward, his whole body suddenly shook and split into three, turning into three figures, surrounding the Ghost Spider from three directions.
The original power of the Distortion Fruit could only refract light in terms of distorting light. But now, Rhodes can use the distortion of light to create two phantom clones that are exactly the same as himself.
Such phantom clones have a certain impact even on people who can use Haki. Because when they see a fist coming, even if they know it is a phantom, most people will still subconsciously dodge or defend. Actions.
