On the top floor of a four-story hotel somewhere on Bays Street.
In front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window in the center of the hotel, a figure that looked like some kind of long-beaked bird was standing there wearing a top hat, looking at the battlefield in the distance with interest.
"Is it... the Ghost Hand Pirates?"
He is the president of the Dark World News Agency, Morgans. He controls a large number of news agencies and newspapers in the world, and even the world government has some cooperation with him.
Naturally, he also knew something about the ghost-hand Rhodes who had caused great troubles in the Western Sea and set foot on the Grand Route, and even specially arranged a small page in the newspaper for him.
"You're already here. This strength is no small feat."
His eyes crossed several streets, and his eyes were like some kind of bird, showing extremely sharp eyes, staring at Ross's position, examining Ross.
Morgans looked at it for a few seconds, held the tea cup in one hand, put it to his mouth and took a sip of tea, then turned to look at the place near the border of Elias Kingdom, with a smile on his face and said:
"If he can survive this crisis, he will be the most dazzling supernova of this era in the first half of the Grand Line."
In the direction that Morgans looked, a large number of navy rushed onto the street!
The navy's G8 branch fleet... arrived in Elias!
…
Bess Street.
After Rhodes killed several groups of pirates and a large number of gang members, he did not go after the frightened little fish and shrimps who were running away like crazy. Instead, he turned around and walked towards the location of Robin and Lafitte. .
After finding Lafitte and Robin on a rooftop, Rhodes took out the record pointer from his pocket and threw it towards Lafitte, "See if it can be used."
Lafitte reached out to catch it accurately, put it in front of his eyes, looked at it, and muttered: "There is no way to judge just by looking at it like this. We have to wait until the magnetic storage of our recording pointer is full before we can deduce it."
If the direction pointed by the single-arrow record pointer is one of the directions pointed by the three-arrow advanced record pointer, it obviously means that the three-arrow advanced record pointer can be used and can guide to the three islands. It will not fixed on a separate route.
"Then just wait."
Ross nodded. Before confirming that the advanced record pointer can be used, it is impossible to throw away the original record pointer and go to sea in a daze. If you can't find it at sea, it will be a very troublesome thing.
Just as Lafitte put away the new record pointer and put it on the wrist of his other hand, Robin, who was standing not far from the building, suddenly rushed over with a serious look on his face.
"captain!
"The navy is coming."
After hearing Robin's words, Ross and Lafitte looked in the direction Robin pointed and saw a large number of marines swarming onto the street about three or four streets away.
The originally chaotic streets were restored to order due to the arrival of the navy. However, these navy obviously did not come here for the outbreak of fighting. Looking at this scale and level, they obviously have only one goal... and that is the Ghost Hand Sea. Thieves!
"It came pretty quickly."
Rhodes stood there, looking calmly and indifferently at the large number of navy that poured into the streets and quickly surrounded Bess Street.
"captain?"
Lafitte turned to look at Ross, with a look asking whether to fight or retreat.
Ross looked at the large number of naval forces surrounding them, a look of contemplation flashed through his eyes, and he quickly made a judgment and said: "You and Robin go back to the ship first, and I will test the strength of these naval forces."
If they attack the naval base on the Grand Line, and the target is him, they will most likely be led by a lieutenant general, followed by multiple rear admirals, and a large number of powerful navy elites.
Lafitte and Robin may be able to deal with a group of navy elites, but facing the siege of multiple rear admirals and countless elite captains, the situation will definitely be very unfavorable.
As for himself, firstly, he is not afraid of the crowd tactics, and secondly, he has a certain degree of confidence in his strength. Even if he cannot be defeated, there is no big problem in retreating unscathed on such a mixed street.
At this time.
The speed advantage of the Ghost is clearly demonstrated. Even if it cannot deal with the navy, as long as it quickly retreats to the ship and sails away, no matter how hard the navy chases after it, it can only watch the Ghost disappear. On the horizon.
"Sorry, Captain, I want to play with these sailors for a while. Miss Intelligence Agent can just go back to the ship first." After hearing what Ross meant, Lafitte smiled and shook his cane.
"Can."
Ross nodded calmly.
The most outstanding feature of Lafitte and Robin is that they are worry-free. They will not get lost like Zoro, nor will they bleed heavily when meeting beautiful women like Sanji. In most cases, they do not need to worry. .
"Okay, be careful."
Robin next to him nodded calmly. Both Lafitte and Ross were confident in escaping from the naval encirclement. Of course she would not stay to cause trouble. Besides, the Ghost also needed her to control the ship and do a good job. Ready to go at any time,
The sudden arrival of the navy restored calm to the neighborhood that had been in chaos due to the gun battle on Bays Street. Countless civilian nobles calmed down and no longer fled in panic.
but.
There were also many people showing strange expressions.
There had just been a gun battle here, and less than an hour later, the navy arrived. The speed of arrival was a bit too fast. Normally, wouldn't they arrive after the fight was over? !
"Have you noticed that the scale of the navy's arrival is a bit too big..."
Some people frowned as they looked at the rows of marines who lined up to move forward, occupying all the streets in all directions, and setting up a positional battle posture to surround the entire Bess neighborhood.
The person next to him seemed to have just calmed down from the chaos. He shook his head and said, "Who knows? Maybe it's to protect some big shot."
After all, this is the country with the most famous hot springs in the world. In addition to the Tianlong people who disdain to coexist with mortals, many nobles like to come here for vacation and leisure.
"No."
Someone shook his head, with light shining in his eyes, and said: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as protecting a big shot. Look over there... the Navy and Vice Admirals are dispatched."
Looking in his direction, I saw a figure wearing a navy cloak of justice and a lieutenant general's epaulettes embroidered on his shoulders. He was walking in front of all the navy with a sharp expression. He was the lieutenant general of the navy's G8 branch, Dalmecia!
Behind Dalmecia were three rear admirals.
"Major General Asius, you lead the second team and enter from the west. Major General Xize, you lead the third team and enter from the south. Major General Rohan, you lead the fourth team and enter from the north. Be sure to clear the Ghost Hand Sea The whole band of thieves is blocking the Bess Block!"
"Remember, once you find Ghost Hand Ross, there is no need to fight to the death, report to me immediately!"
