As the voice fell, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly changed, from gentle and depressing to sharp and harsh.
At this moment.
Both the pirates of the Twin Swords Pirates and the people in the town couldn't help but stare, showing extremely concerned and nervous expressions.
Ghost Sword Yaro invited Ghost Hand Rhodes to form a partnership. This was big news enough to set off huge waves in the Western Sea. And the last semi-threatening words also revealed that Ghost Sword Yaro was a sailor who had been to the Grand Route. The arrogant and domineering thief!
"Partnering with you..."
Ross looked calm and his tone was slightly longer. Just when Ghost Sword Yaro showed a smile, thinking that Ross was about to agree, the second half of Ross's words came out lightly.
"Escaped from the Grand Line with your tail between your legs?"
“…”
Ghost Sword Yaro's smile froze on his face, and his expression gradually became depressed and cold, which made people feel heart palpitating. Even if he just looked at it from a distance, he could feel a biting coldness.
For him, the failure of the Grand Line and being forced to flee back to the West Sea to reorganize the fleet incognito was his greatest shame and the most unacceptable thing.
"very good."
"As expected of the ghost who killed the Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters. The courage is really good, but it is a pity that you can only stop here."
He slowly pulled out a red sword on his back that looked very strange. He looked at Ross with a cruel and ferocious look, and a ferocious and evil aura surged up.
Facing the fierce and cruel aura that was oppressing him, Ross's expression was always the same as before, extremely calm, and his eyes seemed to have no emotion and were not affected at all.
"If you can do it, come and try."
Whoosh!
Almost the moment Ross finished speaking, Ghost Sword Yaro took action. His fighting style was completely different from when he spoke before, extremely decisive and brutal.
After failing to win over Rhodes, he immediately decided to eliminate Rhodes in the Western Sea and eliminate a scourge in advance for the future journey of the Great Sea Route.
laugh!
Before he even got close to Ross, his sword was already swung out.
The speed of Ghost Sword Yaro is surprisingly fast, almost much faster than the Major General Ghost Spider of the headquarters who used Shao. It was a little beyond Ross's expectation, but only a little bit.
boom!
Faced with a sword from Yaro, the ghost sword that suddenly rushed forward with incredible speed, Ross relied on the Haki he had already activated to completely capture the opponent's actions, mobilized the twisted power in his body one step ahead, and punched out.
The twisting power followed Ross's fist and collided with the ghost sword Yaro's slash filled with bloody sword energy, making a loud bang.
Ghost Sword Yaro was obviously inferior to Ross in terms of pure strength and was directly knocked back.
"Huh?"
For Ross to be able to react to his sudden sudden attack and respond accurately, it was indeed beyond the expectations of Ghost Sword Yaro. Although he did not increase his speed to the extreme just now, Ross seemed There was no sign of any difficulty.
After knocking back Ghost Sword Yaro with one punch, Ross raised his foot and stepped lightly. The ground under his feet suddenly surged, and the sand suddenly pressed towards Ghost Sword Yaro.
"I've seen through your moves a long time ago, and they have no effect on me."
Ghost Sword Yaro recovered from Ross's unexpected reaction speed. Faced with Ross's counterattack, he did not panic. Instead, he snorted softly. He stepped down and suddenly turned into an afterimage. , passing through the sand at extremely fast speeds.
"Do you know why I'm called Ghost Sword? It's not because of my swordsmanship, but because of my footwork and speed. No one can ever see through it."
"Shunpo... Ghost Shadow!"
laugh! laugh! laugh!
The moment Ghost Sword Yaro's voice fell, three bloody sword energies suddenly aroused from three different directions and strangled Ross in the center. Astonishingly, Ghost Sword Yaro relied on his speed to jump from three directions in an instant. Sword strikes from different directions!
"Yeah?"
Facing the three slashes coming from three directions, Ross replied in a calm tone. At the same time, with a few slight twists of his body, he almost magically managed to escape from the gap between the three sword energies. Passed through.
Three streaks of bloody sword energy cut into the beach on all sides, cutting huge cracks twenty to thirty meters across in the surrounding sand.
"Can't see clearly at all..."
"…what speed is that."
The brief confrontation between Ross and Arrow dazzled all the pirates in the Twin Swords Pirates, as well as the people in the town.
After Yaro performed a 'ghost step' similar to that of shaving, his figure had completely disappeared from most people's vision. Even those with some strength could almost only see a slight trace of residual damage. Shadow couldn't react at all.
Yaro's speed was frightening, and the way Ross avoided the slashes was also frightening. He simply twisted his body twice and avoided the rapid slashes from three directions.
They can no longer understand a battle of this level.
"I don't know which side will win..."
"Can't guess."
Many people showed concern and nervousness in their eyes. The ghost hands and ghost swords represented the pirate power that now stood at the peak of the West Sea. No other pirates could compare with it. The result of this battle was undoubtedly The real overlord of the Western Sea will be completely determined.
If a pirate of this level does not go to the Grand Route and stays in the West Sea, he is fully capable of ruling an entire sea area!
…
On the field.
Facing the Ghost Sword Yaro that was flashing around, Ross judged that his speed was weaker than the opponent's, so he did not chase the opponent, but calmly activated the power of distortion.
"The art of clone."
Buzz!
Ross's figure briefly flashed twice, and four identical Ross figures suddenly appeared in the field. Looking from a distance, it was impossible to tell the real ones from the fake ones.
The four figures, including the main body, stood at the four corners respectively, facing outside, facing the ghost-like figure that was flashing back and forth.
"Phantom? Troublesome trick."
Ghost Sword Yaro, who was walking back and forth on ghost steps, frowned when he looked at the four identical figures in the field. He didn't know how to use his sense of domineering, so when facing this kind of scene, he could only test them one by one.
But just as he was trying to attack one by one, the four Rhodes figures raised their feet at the same time, and violent dust and sand rose up crazily, sweeping in all directions.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the dust and sand, Ghost Sword Yaro's vision was immediately greatly affected. There were four more Ross figures flickering in the dust and sand, which made him even more dazzled.
Not only did he have to judge whether Ross's figure was real or fake, but he also had to avoid being entangled in the sand covered with strange power. The advantage in speed no longer existed.
