"Ah, that's really bad news, but my journey has just begun and I don't want to end here... What do you think?"
Lafitte was not angry, but instead showed a strange smile. As soon as he finished the first half of the sentence, he disappeared silently. When he reappeared, he was already behind the person who just spoke, holding in his hand I don't know when there was an extra musket.
"?!"
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then they were all surprised, because no one noticed how Lafitte suddenly came to the side, as if it was teleportation in magic.
With the gun pointed at him, a trace of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the pirate hunter. He did not expect that the worthless Lafitte could suddenly appear next to him as if teleporting.
"So... do you think your journey is over?"
Lafitte still had a strange expression on his face.
boom!
Almost as soon as the cold sweat on the pirate hunter's forehead slipped from his cheeks, and everyone present reacted and pointed their weapons at Lafitte, Lafitte fired.
There was a bang of a gunshot and blood splashed everywhere. The pirate hunter was shaken for a moment, with a look of horror on his face, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Damn it!"
"Kill him!"
Many pirate hunters looked at this scene with angry expressions. After aiming at Lafitte, they focused their fire. For a while, gunshots continued to sound.
But everyone only fired two or three shots before they stopped pulling the trigger, because Lafitte's figure disappeared like a phantom at some point.
"I'm sorry Captain, it doesn't look like they're going to kill each other anymore."
Lafitte appeared next to Ross, and he hid the pistol somewhere. He apologized to Ross.
Ross said indifferently: "It doesn't matter."
At this time, many pirate hunters also discovered that Lafitte had returned to the Ghost Shadow, and they couldn't help but aim their weapons at Ross Robin and Lafitte who were standing on the side of the Ghost Shadow.
This time, neither Ai Yilin nor Walding clashed with each other, but looked solemnly at the three people on the Ghost Shadow.
Lafitte's mysterious methods obviously shocked them all, and the point was that Lafitte had no reward at all, he was a completely unexpected figure.
Coupled with the fact that Lafitte was completely focused on Ross and was respectful to him, Ross, the great pirate with a bounty of 92 million beli, exerted a heavy pressure on them.
"It seems like it's really not that easy to deal with."
Kebero put away his smile, the expression on his face became very solemn, and said to Walding and Ai Yilin: "Let's put aside the private matters for now. This time we really have to work together to deal with it. Otherwise, I’m afraid we will really suffer heavy casualties and lose control of Pruton Town.”
There are many pirate hunters in Pluton Town, but the three of them are the main ones, and many outside pirate hunters have been squeezed out by them.
"snort!"
Ai Yilin snorted coldly, but said nothing. She obviously agreed with Kebero's statement, and Walding's solemn gaze also expressed his meaning.
Since it's not that easy to deal with, and no one is sure to deal with it alone, let's join forces for the time being, and then distribute the bounty after killing them.
"The pirate group with a bounty of 171 million Baileys is indeed quite capable, but this is the Grand Line!"
Walding stared at the three Rhodes and spoke in a deep voice. He took the lead in pulling the trigger of the heavy machine gun on his shoulder. A dense rain of bullets suddenly fired at the three Rhodes.
at the same time.
Many pirate hunters with guns also aimed at the three Rhodes people and opened fire. Among them, there were even people carrying portable artillery, firing shells one after another in the smoke.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Robin and Lafitte retreated to both sides at the same time. Lafitte pulled out his gun and was about to fight back, while Robin also crossed his arms, planning to activate his ability.
However, at this moment, Ross's voice came out from the sound of gunfire.
"You guys stand back, I'll come..."
Although Robin and Lafitte teamed up to deal with this group of pirate hunters, Ross did not intend to stand by and watch, but planned to deal with them quickly. He did not like to watch farce.
The dense bullets shot at Rhodes' body, and they were all frozen there, with traces of distortion and deformation appearing on each bullet.
Ding ding dong dong!
Ross's hands were weak, and the bullets stuck on his body were all twisted and squeezed by a force, and instantly gathered in front of him, and were crushed into a ball of iron.
"this… "
"It's a devil fruit user!"
Walding and others were stunned for a moment, and then were shocked. Although Devil Fruit power users are very common on the Grand Line, power users still have a strong deterrent effect!
Snap!
After Rhodes threw away the ball of iron made of bullets and cannonballs, his figure flashed and he jumped off the side of the ship and landed on the pier.
"Go together!"
Although they don't know what Ross' Devil Fruit ability is, it's not like Walding and others have never seen Devil Fruit before, and they can still remain calm.
Amidst the shouts of everyone, countless people drew their swords and rushed towards Ross. The shining swords slammed down at Ross.
but.
A strange scene appeared.
All the swords that touched Ross's body were like ooze, twisting and bending directly into an L shape, and the sword that stabbed Ross was twisting section by section like a snake.
Ross walked forward calmly, all the swords twisting silently. He stretched out his finger and lightly swiped it. The bodies of all the people who were swiped by the finger showed strange distortions, and even the upper and lower bodies were directly connected. separation.
"Damn it!"
"What the hell kind of ability is this!"
This scene finally scared everyone, whether it was Walding or Kerbero, they all showed a bit of horror.
"As a pirate hunter, you must clearly distinguish the range of your prey. If you can't distinguish clearly, you will be like now, and there will never be a chance to distinguish clearly."
Ross spoke calmly, and kept moving forward. Wherever he went, or wherever his fingers touched, the bodies of the pirate hunters were separated.
In the past, Ross could only break people's twisted muscles and bones, but now, what he can do is like twisting from a deeper level, extending from the surface to the cellular level.
Wherever his fingers touched, there was no sound of bones breaking. Even the half-parts of the separated pirate hunters' bodies did not show any blood. It was such a weird separation of the entire body.
"hateful!"
Ai Yilin looked at the unstoppable Ross who was moving forward, with a look of gritted teeth and a ferocious look on her face. She did not flinch, but held the huge machete in both hands and slashed it at Ross. .
The sword was powerful and heavy, and there was an invisible slash following it.
However.
Faced with such a knife, Ross showed a dazzling expression. He retracted his finger and flicked it at the falling blade, as if he had no power at all.
Silent and silent.
This bullet didn't even make a ding-dong sound. The huge machete seemed to turn into soft mud, and Ross's fingers passed directly over it, and the entire blade was directly divided into two halves.
"It's... so ugly."
There was a rare look in Ross's eyes that he couldn't bear to look at directly. He raised his foot and stepped on it, and the sand under his feet immediately surged up, entangled the opponent, and then twisted and squeezed, making a bang.
But even so, it still couldn't heal the damage to Ross' eyes. If he had known better, he would have closed his eyes and used his sight.
“…”
The remaining seven or eight pirate hunters, watching Ai Yilin being crushed and killed by Ross without any resistance, almost all showed fear, including Walding and others.
Damn it!
Is this guy really a new pirate who has just stepped into the Grand Line? !
Looking at Ross in the field, a chill ran down their spines, and fear quickly took over their hearts. They subconsciously stepped back, one step or two, and then began to turn around and flee.
"It hurts my eyes... don't leave."
Ross' eyes returned to calmness, with a hint of indifference in the calmness. He raised his hand to hold it in the distance, and the sand under his feet surged crazily, covering all the seven or eight people who were escaping.
As Ross's fist tightened suddenly, there was a popping sound like tomatoes being stepped on from the rising sand, and then there was silence.
…
In January of the twelfth year of the Great Pirate Era, the Ghost Hand Pirates set foot on the Grand Route, and bloodbathed the local pirate hunter gang in Pluton Town, one of the initial islands, and showed their first prowess!
