"very good."
Terun smiled, turned to look at Nico Robin next to him, and said: "If you haven't burned the inside information in Tarot Town yet, give it to him directly."
Sixteen-year-old Nico Robin nodded, turned her little hand a few times, and quickly took out two pieces of paper, walked to Ross, and handed the paper over.
"Two pieces of information, not encrypted."
Ross took the two notes from Robin's hand and read them in front of his eyes.
After Robin handed over the note, he quietly returned to his seat and continued to organize and memorize the messy information.
If Ross were asked to choose one person to be his deputy among the people he has interacted with so far, he would definitely choose Nico Robin.
Although she is now much more immature than in the original work, she was put on a bounty of 79 million beli at the age of eight, yet she has been able to survive hiding in the underground world of the West Sea to this day. Her abilities are almost undisputed.
If a gang was to be formed, in addition to her, Trafalgar Law and others, Ross, had also carefully considered it. They were all thoughtful and well-thought-out people, and their behavior was very much in line with his style.
but.
These are things that Ross will consider carefully only if he really plans to become a pirate. At the moment, he doesn't plan to become a pirate for no reason.
It wasn't him who took the blame. Why should he take the blame? Since the navy is a group of idiots, it's up to him to find out the person who blamed him and beat him to death!
There weren't many words on the note.
After Ross read it, he frowned slightly and held the note with a look of thought. He thought it was a group of pirates who had done it, and he was blamed for it, but he didn't expect that it was not pirates involved, but Xihai. underground gang forces.
"The Capone family... is the gangster family of Becky Capone, one of the rising stars in the original novel."
Ross pondered for a moment, and his face gradually turned cold.
No matter what force it is, if you throw the blame on him after doing something and think you can sit back and relax, you are totally wrong!
"I need information on the Capone family in this area."
Ross looked up at Teren, who had stood up at some point.
Tren flicked the ash from his cigarette, thought for a moment, and said, "I know what information you want, and the price is this."
"no problem."
After Ross nodded, Tren looked at Robin aside.
"yes."
Robin nodded, walked to Ross's side, and after briefly meeting Ross's eyes, he recounted the information Ross needed in a low voice.
After writing down the information, Rhodes took out a few stacks of money from his backpack and threw them to Teren, then turned and left.
“…”
Robin's eyes stayed on Ross's back for a few seconds, and then returned to the stack of intelligence documents on the table.
After leaving the inner hall, Ross stepped out of the underground base under the looks of many pirate hunters in the outer hall with different expressions.
To Ross's surprise, as soon as he walked out of the alleyway, he ran into a group of patrolling marines.
"Ghost-hand Ross is here!"
Someone yelled, and immediately several guns were pointed at Ross, firing bang bang bang.
Rhodes doesn't know the iron blocks of Navy Six, and he doesn't have the aura of armament. Even ordinary fire guns can cause a certain amount of damage to him.
"bother!"
Ross stepped forward and dodged into the alleyway on the opposite side.
He was really annoyed by this group of marines who were chasing after them. He had the idea of wiping out all these marines, but he still suppressed it.
Whoosh!
As Ross was running quickly in the alleyway, suddenly a figure wearing a navy's cloak of justice followed him at the same extremely fast speed.
"Ghost-hand Ross! Capture him quickly!"
"You can't escape!"
That man was a lieutenant colonel at a nearby naval base. He once arrested a pirate with a bounty of 18 million beli. Surprisingly, he also knew how to use the Sixth Style of the Navy to shave!
"Can you even shave?"
Rhodes glanced at the naval lieutenant colonel who was chasing after him from the corner of his eye. He had the same military rank, but was in a different region, and his strength was also very different.
A naval lieutenant colonel in the East China Sea may not be able to defeat a ten million beli pirate, but a naval lieutenant colonel in the Grand Line has many Devil Fruit ability users. As for a naval lieutenant colonel in the New World, he can even use Armament Haki!
"Let's capture him without mercy!"
After chasing him down a street, the naval lieutenant colonel roared violently, stamped his feet, rushed toward Ross's back, and punched him fiercely.
Ross turned around impatiently and punched him.
"I still have things to do, and I don't have time to mess around with your navy. Get out of here!"
boom!
The fists collided, and the naval lieutenant colonel was still weaker than Rhodes. His arms went numb and he staggered back two steps.
Ross spread his hands and passed over the wall on one side of the alleyway. The wall suddenly twisted and collapsed, slamming down on the naval lieutenant colonel.
When the naval lieutenant colonel saw this, his pupils shrank slightly. By the time he rushed out of the collapsed wall, Ross had disappeared.
"Is he really a Devil Fruit user? He twisted the wall. No wonder he is called Ghost Hand..."
The lieutenant colonel looked at the twisted and crumbling wall, thinking of the punch he had just exchanged with Ross, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt a little scared in his heart.
…
Even though the navy set up a tight pursuit circle on the island, the bombardment of artillery fire made Rhodes a little embarrassed, but with the help of the navy's sixth-style shave, he still rushed out.
His own ship was gone, so he directly commandeered a small boat, threw down hundreds of thousands of beli, and left the island by boat.
Robin told him that the information about the Capone gang in this sea area was very detailed, including the detailed location of the base built by the Capone family in this sea area.
Haig Island.
This island is not far from where Rhodes is, only about two days away. Rhodes has been to that island before when he was hunting pirates, so he is no stranger to it.
Sailing all the way on the sea, he was not pursued by the navy again. Obviously, even the navy could not easily locate Ross's position on the vast sea and pursue him.
If it could really reach that level, then the world wouldn't be able to become overrun with pirates at all.
but.
Something unpleasant happened to Rhodes during the voyage.
It was a news bird that flew in the sky and was dedicated to delivering news newspapers. It flew to his ship. He bought a news newspaper and found a reward list for himself in the newspaper.
"The bounty is 22 million Baileys? The action is really fast."
Rhodes has been hunting pirates around during this time, and he often keeps the bounty list in his hand. Now he has a bounty list of his own, and he feels very bad.
Being wanted by the Navy with a bounty on his head and being hunted all over the sea was a particularly annoying thing for Rhodes, so he always didn't want this situation to happen.
and.
There is a more serious question. Under the current situation, even if he overthrows the Capone gang and throws the truth to the Navy, can he get the Navy to remove the reward order
When he thought of this, Ross's face gradually darkened.
He finally took a deep breath.
No matter what, he had to go to Haig Town, and getting him into such a troublesome situation had already reached the bottom of his intolerance.
