Kingdom of Elias.
This country is extremely developed in terms of services and is one of the most famous hot spring countries in the world. Various hot springs can be found everywhere, and some world celebrities often come here to experience high-end hot spring baths.
In an independent corner of a high-end hot spring bath, there is a separate hot spring with a radius of about four or five meters. The facilities in the room are elegant and luxurious. Ross is lying quietly on the edge of the hot spring with his eyes closed.
There are also large shared hot springs outside, but he still prefers individual hot spring pools.
If Robin is willing to come in, Ross doesn't mind two people.
Since becoming a pirate, it has been rare for him to enjoy some leisure time. When he was a pirate hunter in the West Sea, when he killed a group of pirates, he would often go to such places to relax for a few days. Now he spends most of his time on the boat. Sailing on the sea.
And just when Ross was relaxing and stretching his body, a dull sound suddenly came from the clothes he had placed not far away.
Puff, puff, puff!
Ross opened his eyes, walked out of the water, picked up a clean towel and wiped it, went to his clothes, and took out a phone bug from his pocket.
After the call was connected, Lafitte's voice came from the phone.
"Report Captain, I found something here that may be of great use."
"Oh? What is it?"
Ross asked while getting dressed.
Lafitte hid in a corner and spoke to the phone bug in a slightly lowered voice: "A special record pointer with a total of three pointers on it. It is said to be an advanced record pointer from the second half of the Grand Route. It can simultaneously Point to three islands.”
After listening to Lafitte's words, Rhodes' eyes flickered slightly. Of course he knew about this kind of record pointer, but he didn't expect it to exist in the first half of the Grand Route.
The question is... Can this kind of record pointer also be used in the first half
But if you think about it carefully, the three-arrow record pointer itself is an upgraded version of the ordinary record pointer. It can be used in the second half of the new world, and it is very likely that it can be used in the first half.
"Where are you?"
After Ross pondered for a moment, he asked Lafitte.
If the three-arrow advanced record pointer is also effective in the first half, then he will no longer be limited to one route. In this case, even if the admiral comes out to trouble him, he must first determine his accurate position.
“Bess Street…”
Lafitte's voice was perfectly imitated by the phone bug: "The record pointer seems to have emerged from some private dark transaction. There has been a fight here. At least three groups of people are robbing that thing."
Obviously Rhodes is not the only one who wants an advanced recording pointer. If this kind of thing is available in the first half, it will be one of the best navigation equipment for most pirates.
"Keep an eye on it for me and wait for me to pass."
After hearing this, Ross quickly put on the last sleeve, opened the door and walked out. He said to Robin who was staying in the lounge: "Let's go find Lafitte."
Robin put down the newspaper in her hand, glanced expressionlessly at the captain who had invited her to join him in the hot spring not long ago, then stood up and followed him.
…
Bess Street.
There were screams and gunshots, and a large number of people fled frantically. Among them were some fat otakus and beauties who were half-clothed and only wrapped in bath towels. However, no one cared about touching anything at this time. Blissful to the eyes.
The inside of the street has become a battlefield where several groups of forces are fighting. Three of them are pirates, and one group is a local gang. The fight is chaotic.
"Captain, you came just in time."
At the entrance of a certain alleyway, Ross and Robin appeared, and Lafitte also appeared from the darkness at the right time, raised the cane in his hand, and pointed in one direction.
"The pirate group over there, who currently holds the record pointer, is being besieged by three other groups. They failed to break through twice and are now retreating to the three-story building."
"I see."
Ross nodded, glanced at the building in the distance, then walked directly out of the alleyway and walked towards the three-story building.
At this time, the streets were already in a mess, with gunpowder smoke and war flames everywhere. Everyone was looking for bunkers to shoot. There were very few people fighting hand-to-hand. Ross walked out in such a swagger, immediately attracting several people. direction of people's attention.
"Captain, there is someone!"
The pirate captain hiding behind a certain bunker, holding a gun in his hand, looked at Ross on the street not far away, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said: "He is not one of ours, kill him!"
boom! boom! boom!
At his order, the four or five pirates around him immediately opened fire on Ross, and a dense rain of bullets hit Ross head and face.
But the strange thing is that in the hail of bullets, Rhodes just turned his head slightly, shrunk his shoulders, and walked through it unharmed. Not a single bullet could hit accurately.
"Missed?"
A pirate made a suspicious sound.
The pirate captain next to him had a solemn look in his eyes and said solemnly: "No, he was avoided... This guy is not an ordinary person, so be careful!"
The reaction speed and agility of a person who can dodge bullets are very important. If he hadn't had a bounty of 50 million beli and had met strong men from all walks of life, he might have made a decisive retreat at this time.
Rhodes did not fight the pirate gangs in the chaos. His goal was to get the record pointer first, lest the pirates in the building use the quick-thinking trick of jumping over the wall and destroy the record pointer, and then get nothing. .
After dodging several bullets, Rhodes approached the three-story building. Someone in the building also fired at Rhodes, but he was avoided by Rhodes.
"Damn it, why didn't you hit it?!"
Since Ross did not show any overly shocking power, although the group of pirates in the building were frightened and confused, they had not yet reached the level of jumping over the wall in fear.
finally.
Ross arrived at the bottom of the three-story building, walked in directly from the main entrance, clapped his hands to both sides, and the series of bullets fired in the face changed their trajectories and hit them in the opposite direction.
With blood splattering everywhere, the two pirates fell to the ground.
Whoosh!
Ross no longer concealed his speed, and in a flash, he trampled the last pirate in the hall on the first floor, stepped on the ground, and asked calmly: "Where is the thing?"
"At... at the captain's place..."
When the pirate saw his two companions dying without any resistance, and then faced Ross' eyes that were emotionless and regarded life as nothing, he couldn't help but tremble in response.
"Where is your captain?"
"Upstairs... on the third floor..."
Ross relaxed his legs indifferently, stepped over him, and walked towards the second floor.
When the pirate saw Ross walking over him and turning his back to him without any defense, the fear in his heart subsided a little and was replaced by a hint of ferocity. He gritted his teeth and grabbed the gun on the ground.
boom!
But before he could aim his musket at Rhodes, the floor on the first floor was suddenly overturned by some strange force. It was pinched from both sides to the middle, and instantly closed together, as if a tomato had been squeezed, and the juice flowed everywhere. splash.
Ross walked up to the second floor without looking back or stopping.
