Water Island.
This sea area is called the Water Gold Sea Area because of the names of the two largest islands here, one is called Water and the other is called Gold.
Among them, Gold Island is the largest and is a large island large enough to accommodate a country. Water Island is second only to Gold Island and is somewhere between medium-sized islands and large islands.
Rhodes and Robin landed on the island and were walking on the street.
The street style here is very dark. Whether it is pedestrians or beggars squatting in the corner, their eyes show fierceness. Compared to the Kingdom of Flowers, which still has some order, this place is pure disorder. zone.
Some underground forces in the West Sea control the situation here. The Capone family was originally one of them. However, due to the heavy damage caused by Rhodes, their power has dropped sharply and they have withdrawn from here.
boom!
Suddenly, there was a shot from the front, causing countless people on the street to show wary eyes and pay attention. Suddenly, a thin man blew the gun in his hand and sneered at a strong man lying in a pool of blood. He turned around and left directly.
"It is indeed a chaotic place."
Ross spoke calmly. Both he and Robin had been in the underground dark world. They were already accustomed to this situation and did not show any surprise.
After walking for a while, they came to a busy street. Ross looked around and said, "Let's collect intelligence separately and meet back here in half an hour."
"no problem."
Robin lowered the brim of his hat and nodded slightly.
Although she seldom practices, Ross occasionally guides her to develop the fruit's ability. Now she has no problem dealing with pirates with a bounty of 20 to 30 million, and because of the fruit's special ability, she can completely ignore the crowd tactics.
Ross and Robin split up. After walking for a while, they saw a tavern in front of them. They put their hands in their pockets and walked in. They came to the counter and ordered a glass of wine, and asked casually:
"I heard that the Two Swords Pirates appeared in town recently?"
"Shh!"
A waitress behind the counter, who looked about as beautiful as Robin, was startled when she heard Ross's words. After putting down the wine, she hurriedly shushed and said in a low voice: "What are you asking about them for? !”
Ross smiled, put two gold coins on the table, and said, "I just wanted to ask, it seems you know something."
The price of a glass of wine here is at most one silver coin. When she saw two gold coins, the waiter's eyes suddenly lit up. She smiled at Ross, accepted the two gold coins without leaving a trace, then leaned over slightly and lowered her voice. :
"They came here two days ago. When they left, they got into a fight and killed dozens of people. Bodies were scattered everywhere. It took a long time to clean up. A group of terrifying guys... It is said that even the navy branch's fleet was Got killed by them."
At this point, the bridesmaid paused and looked at Ross, who was sitting there wearing a fur hat with only half of his face visible. She whispered: "They seem to be recruiting people near the West Bank now. It is said that they have to have a certain amount of people." You can only join if you have strength, so you are not planning to join them."
"Is it near the West Bank? Thank you very much."
Ross took a sip of wine, stood up, raised his head and smiled at the waitress, and said: "As for joining them... they have to be able to bear it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ross turned around and left the tavern.
The waitress looked at Ross's back, her eyes slightly widened. It wasn't until Ross walked out of the tavern that she suddenly reacted. She grabbed a stack of reward orders next to the table and rummaged through it, and quickly pulled out one from it. Looking at that familiar face, she couldn't help but gasp.
The bounty is 92 million Baileys…
Ghost Hand Rhodes!
What kind of wind has blown in the past two days has blown all the two most terrifying pirate groups in the West Sea. Now in the West Sea, the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Two Swords Pirates are far ahead of the other pirate groups. Above, are the twin stars standing at the top of the Western Sea.
If they collided, it would undoubtedly be a big event that would alarm the West Sea!
…
Point of departure.
Ross came back here early. After waiting for a while, she saw Robin walking from the other direction. She came to Ross's side and lowered her voice:
"The Two Swords Pirates are recruiting crew members to form a large fleet near the west coast. Devil Sheriff Lafitte... It is said that someone has seen him in this town, just in the past few days."
"Oh? Lafitte is here too?"
Ross looked at Robin in surprise, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This is just right. If you are restless at heart, you will have no reason to avoid such a big scene when you hear about Ross the Ghost Hand versus the Twin Swords Pirates. , let’s go directly to the West Bank.”
Robin nodded, and Ross's idea was exactly what she thought of.
Snap!
With a flick of his fingers, Rhodes flipped the round hat on his head from the front-end lowered to the front-end raised, raised his head and walked forward.
On this street where few people spoke and the atmosphere was depressing and gloomy, almost everyone had two or three pairs of eyes staring at them at any time, and Ross and Robin, who were dressed strangely, were naturally the focus of attention.
When Ross raised the brim of his hat, the three or five pairs of eyes staring at him secretly all condensed, and then the sound of gasps of air-conditioning could be heard from many corners.
"That guy is..."
"Ghost-hand Ross! It's really him!"
Almost instantly, the image of the chaotic street changed drastically. Ross and Robin walked forward. No one in front of them dared to block the way. They all retreated to both sides. Most people did not even dare to stare at Ross. , for fear of causing trouble.
Compared to Oni Sword, the captain behind the Two Swords Pirates who has been anonymous for many years, the name of Oni Hand, who has recently swept across the Western Sea, is undoubtedly more awe-inspiring and fearful.
The streets became clear.
Ross led Robin across the street, heading towards the west bank. People who noticed the direction Ross was heading along the way couldn't help but think of something, and all looked shocked.
"They seem to be... going to the West Bank!"
Most people are very clear about what is on the west coast. The Two Swords Pirates are recruiting capable people to board the ship on the west coast. Will a being of the level of Ghost Hand Ross join the Two Swords Pirates
The answer is undoubtedly no!
It is rumored that Ghost Hand, the captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates, has always had a hobby of hunting strong men. There were originally a large number of pirates in the West Sea with bounties of more than 20 to 30 million, but he killed a large group of them. So far, no one has been killed. Newcomers fill the position.
Now Ghost Hand Ross is heading to the West Coast to look for the Two Swords Pirates. His purpose is probably very pure. He is probably targeting the Two Swords Pirates who have regained the number one position in the West Sea as prey!
"Ghost-hand Ross, are you going to take action against the Two Swords Pirates? This is big news!"
"If a fight breaks out, it's really hard to tell the outcome. One is a major general who destroyed the Navy Headquarters, and the other has been to the Grand Line..."
Many people looked at Ross's back and murmured in shock.
"I think Ghost Hand has a better chance of winning. The one he killed not long ago was the navy's headquarters rear admiral, not the branch rear admiral the Two Swords Pirates killed." Someone said in a deep voice.
The person next to him shook his head and retorted, saying: "Ghost Sword's bounty is 98 million Baileys. This was only his bounty three years ago, and after all, Ghost Sword has never been to the Grand Line!"
The Grand Line is known as the graveyard of pirates. Many of the strongest pirate groups in the four seas, east, west, north and south, were unable to make waves when they reached the Grand Line, so they were submerged there.
The Ghost Sword was able to enter the Grand Line, earn a bounty of 98 million Baileys, and finally return to the West Sea unscathed. Its strength is undoubtedly extremely terrifying.
As Rhodes gradually approached the west coast, even the underground forces who controlled the island were shocked after receiving the news.
For a while.
All the eyes of the whole island are gathered here!
