Afariya Island.
This is a large island, where the Kingdom of Alpharia sits. This country is not a country of pirates, but one of the 170 allies under the World Government.
On a certain street, on the roof of a building, Ross and Lafitte stood here, looking at a group of men with vicious faces at the end of the street.
There is no doubt that it is the Iron Wall Pirates who are targeted by Ross.
After Ross asked Robin to guard the ship, he and Lafitte landed on the island to look for traces of the Iron Wall Pirates. After taking over the Iron Wall Pirates, they were also searching for traces of Crocodile. During this search, Ross He and Lafitte soon discovered the members of the Iron Wall Pirates, and then found their main force.
"Ironwall Lavaro, who has a bounty of 180 million beli, and the wrestler Hanu, who has a bounty of 70 million beli. Their main members are all here."
Lafitte turned to look at Ross.
"Want to come on, Captain?"
"certainly."
Ross stood with his hands behind his hands, standing on the edge of the roof, looking flatly at the members of the Iron Wall Pirates gathered not far from the street below, as if looking at a group of experienced wild monsters.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Ross jumped from the roof, landed on the street, and walked straight in the direction of the Iron Wall Pirates.
The direction in which the Iron Wall Pirates were heading was towards Ross. Many people on the street recognized the Iron Wall Pirates and hid in fear.
"That's... the Iron Wall Pirates!"
"Hey, are they the Iron Wall Pirates who destroyed thirteen towns? I heard that the total bounty exceeds 300 million. Why are they here?"
The captain of the Iron Wall Pirates is Supernova, who has a bounty of 180 million beli. The total bounty of the entire pirate group is also as high as 300 million. He is undoubtedly famous in the first half of the Grand Line.
but.
When Ross jumped from the roof and walked in the direction of the Iron Wall Pirates, numerous inhaling sounds were quickly heard from all around.
"No way, that person looks a bit like..."
"That's right... it's Ghost Hand Ross!"
Although many of the people present had never read the newspaper about Rhodes, they had more or less heard about it. But even so, a big pirate who was offered a bounty of 200 million beli by the government appeared on the street. People still retreated in panic involuntarily.
"I heard that the Ghost Hand Pirates have never robbed civilians?"
"Who knows about this kind of thing... However, there seems to be movement over there, it seems to be the Iron Wall Pirates?!" Someone turned to look at the other side of the street, his pupils contracted violently, and his heart trembled.
Iron Wall Pirates!
Although the limelight during this period was not as high as that of the Ghost Hand Pirates, the reputation of having massacred thirteen towns was still shocking. And importantly, the Iron Wall Pirates and Ghost Hand Ross actually Appeared on the same street!
coincide
No, if I remember correctly, the Ghost Hand Pirates... seem to be an existence that hunts other pirate groups everywhere!
Some people thought of this and couldn't help but feel stagnant in their breathing. A terrifying thought vaguely emerged in their hearts. Could the Ghost Hand Pirates and the Iron Wall Pirates collide here? !
Under countless looks of shock, nervousness, or fear, the crowd on the street between Ross and the Iron Wall Pirates had completely disappeared at some point.
The people of the Iron Wall Pirates saw Ross and stopped one after another.
"Ghost Hand...Rhodes."
The captain of the Iron Wall Pirates, Iron Wall Ravalo, stood there, looking at Ross across from him, narrowing his eyes slightly, and said: "You have made such a big noise, how dare you show up so casually?"
"No, I didn't show up randomly, but I showed up specifically for you. The bounty is 180 million beli. Iron Wall Lavaro, I heard... you are very strong."
Ross took two more steps forward, stopped only ten meters away from the Iron Wall Pirates, and spoke in a calm tone.
Lavaro raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said to Ross: "You have defeated a naval branch. You are also very powerful, but blocking my way is not a wise behavior. I have to find someone to settle the accounts now, and I don't have time. Play with you."
"Yeah?"
Ross gently raised his feet and said, "I do want to play a game with you...a game where only one person can survive."
boom!
Ross's raised foot suddenly stepped down, and the ground in front of him suddenly twisted, showing terrifying ripples like ocean waves, crushing the people of the Iron Wall Pirate Group in a mighty manner.
"It seems you are tired of living."
Lavarro's face turned cold instantly. He was famous for his ability to retaliate, otherwise he wouldn't have come here to take revenge after being tricked by Crocodile.
Anyone who dares to provoke him has been sent to hell!
"Protection... barrier!"
The index and middle fingers of his hands came together and bent, and a transparent glass-like barrier appeared in the middle of the street and penetrated into the ground.
boom!
The power of distortion surged along the earth and bombarded the barrier, causing the glass-like barrier to suddenly show strange twists and depressions, like a piece of jellybean.
This was the first time that Ravaro encountered someone who could shake his barrier. A strange color flashed in his eyes, but he did not panic, but raised his hand and pushed forward.
"Iron wall impact!"
The dented and twisted barrier, like elastic rubber, bounced back to its original shape. At the same time, a force of repulsion suddenly exploded forward, colliding with the twisting force released by Ross.
Boom!
In an instant, the ground in front of the barrier cracked, spreading to both sides. A deep ravine about ten meters wide instantly opened, and the ground directly in front of Ross showed a fragmented scene, like ten meters. After a general magnitude earthquake.
The buildings on both sides of the street were slightly affected by the aftermath, and then completely collapsed amidst the roar and screams, causing countless people to look horrified.
"Is that human being?!"
With almost no movement, a large piece of street ground was destroyed, causing two buildings to collapse in pieces. Such a scene in the eyes of many people undoubtedly shocked them beyond measure.
Can't it be destroyed
Ross looked at the barrier that was twisted and deformed by the force of distortion, but suddenly bounced back. His eyes were very calm, and he did not show any surprise.
Devil fruit abilities are often restrained. For example, the surgery fruit can almost crush the barrier fruit and completely disable the barrier. However, if an animal type user faces a barrier fruit, they can even use one punch to destroy a person. Even the power of the town cannot break this small barrier.
However, his twisted fruit can be effective against the barrier fruit. Although it cannot destroy the barrier, it can twist and deform the barrier, flattening and rounding it like rubber.
"It really shocked me. You are the first person who can shake my barrier..."
"But that's it for now!"
Lavarro looked at Ross indifferently, a ferocious look flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hands and waved violently.
"Iron wall impact!"
Uh-huh!
The two barriers appeared silently as Ravaro closed his hands towards the middle, sandwiching Ross in the middle, and squeezing towards the center at an extremely fast speed, trying to squeeze Ross into a ball of flesh. .
