bite!

Rhods raised his hand and swept his hands, and the two hook blades flew backwards. He looked at Batra, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Is Superman metal fruit? It's an interesting ability."

In the information Kaku and others investigated, Batra's specific ability was naturally included, but Rhodes didn't care and only heard a metal fruit.

Now it seems that this fruit looks like an advanced version of the Slash Fruit. Its body is similar to the glutinous fruit of the BIGMOM Pirates Katakuri, and it has become a liquid metal, which is a bit similar to the natural system.

This is a very good ability.

If you can awaken, you will become extremely powerful and may surpass the natural system!

Hearing Rhodes' words, Batra grinned, caught the arm of the hook blade flying back, and rushed towards Rhodes with a grin, saying, "Interesting? You will soon see... despair!"

Buzz!

His fist suddenly fluidized and turned into an extremely sharp spear, which stabbed Rhodes in the chest with his punch.

Faced with Batra's blow, Rhodes closed his five fingers and swung out a light punch.

boom!

The fist collided with the spear. The image of Batra's imagination of the spear piercing through Rhodes' fist did not appear. Instead, the spear began to shatter from the tip of the spear, shattering all the way, resting its shape as the arm.

Immediately afterwards, his arm burst and burst under the raging force of twisting, blood and broken bones splattered everywhere, and his whole body flew backwards.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Batra looked at his right arm that was broken in an instant and screamed in a shrill voice.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely stiff.

The expressions of those pirates with grim smiles were all frozen on their faces. In the next moment, they turned into incredible expressions, and were more shocked.

"How is the captain's arm... possible?!"

"Hey, kidding, Captain, Captain! You can definitely recover instantly!"

Several pirates stretched out their hands at Bat, who was screaming and rolling all over the ground, trying to walk over, but their bodies were all stiff and it was difficult to take a step.

In the field.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Rhodes' eyes and he walked towards Batra.

"Is this only level? It's a pity that this fruit falls into your hands."

"No...this is impossible..."

Looking at Rhodes walking over, Batra's eyes showed horror and fear.

Rhodes' fist could actually smash his metal form that was harder than steel, and hit his entity and completely destroy one of his arms. How did he do it?!

"Frog in the well."

Rhodes said the last word indifferently, and stepped on it.

No matter how much Batra's whole body melted into a liquid metal glowing with silver, it still had no effect. It was directly stepped on by Rhodes, and blood and broken bones splattered everywhere.

"The bounty of 180 million Baileys, the 'mobile weapon' Batra, has completed the hunting, received a reward, and has 40 points of talent and proficiency."

"Hohoho, I'm afraid I don't even know what Domineering is, right? I don't have the chance to know."

Lafitt, not far away, looked at the scene, grinned, and walked towards the remaining pirates.

The other pirates saw that their captain was killed by someone in a few seconds, and their backs were already cold, as if they were falling into an ice cellar. After they reacted, they did not dare to stay where they were, and they turned around and ran away.

Scream! Scream!

Lafitte's figure flashed several times in the field, killing seven or eight pirates in an instant.

The remaining pirates scattered and tried to escape, but Rhods raised his foot and stepped lightly, and the earth rolled and surged, instantly turning into a huge ball of soil and stone, wrapping all the others in it, crushing and erasing them all.

Hurry!

After killing all the pirates, Rhodes raised his hand and waved the soil, throwing all the corpses and blood outside the manor. At the same time, he rushed to the burning cherry blossom tree, preventing the fire from continuing to spread.

"Cough...cough..."

The old man guarding the manor looked at this scene, and his dry eyes became a little wet. He coughed twice in difficulty and barely stood up.

He also recognized Rhodes and knew that Rhodes was a pirate, but Rhodes destroyed Batra and others and stopped the fire from spreading. No matter what Rhodes is, he saved the benefactor of this hundreds of years of history.

"Thanks you……"

"You're welcome."

Rhodes looked at the cherry blossom tree that was gradually burning out and asked casually: "Are you the only one guarding this place?"

"Yes, I'm the only one left."

The old man nodded and sighed softly.

He reached out his hand and gently took the next falling cherry blossoms. Rhodes shook his head and turned around to walk outside the manor. Lafitte quickly followed.

Watching Rhodes leave, the old man breathed a long sigh and sat back on the ground. Although a tree was destroyed, he finally guarded the manor.

Ghost Hand Rhodes...

The image is completely different from the government's reports, but it is similar to the rumor that circulated some time ago. Thinking of this, the old man smiled bitterly and shook his head and sighed.

What exactly is the navy and government going to do this world?

...

After destroying Batra and his gang, the main purpose of this trip has been completed. In addition, the magnetic force of the recording pointer must be stored for at least ten days, so Rhodes and Lafitte and others were temporarily dispersed.

The scenery on this island is rare, and even Lafitte is interested in cherry blossoms, and seems to have some fantasy ideas.

...

Five days later.

Rhodes, who was strolling on the Sakura Street, enjoying the scenery and the occasional beautiful girl wearing a cheongsam, suddenly rang out the phone bug in her pocket.

After answering the phone worm, a rare, solemn voice from Lafitte came from the other side.

"Captain, we seem to be in trouble. Five ships appeared on the west coast... No, six naval warships are large warships from the headquarters, and they seem to have been docked for a long time."

Six large warships!

And it comes from the Navy headquarters!

Such a military configuration is not comparable to that of any branch's navy. When it appears on this island, its target is undoubtedly their Ghost Hand Pirates.

"Are you finally here? The Navy of the headquarters?"

Hearing Lafitte's words, a slight fluctuation flashed in Rhodes' eyes, he stopped and murmured in a low voice.

Even with Kaku and others as peripheral intelligence networks, even with the Ghost, the speed of the sea, it is impossible for them to avoid the navy and government that have eyeliners on almost every island forever.

"Do I need to find out the specific situation?"

Lafitte whispered on the other end of the phone bug.

"No."

Rhodes shook his head, looked deep at the end of the street, and said, "They have arrived... This time we are one step behind in the intelligence. I hope we won't encounter the Navy General."

Rhodes is located at a fork in the road. The entire street became empty at some point, with only cherry blossoms scattering silently.

Step! Step! Step! Step!

No one spoke, and the dense footsteps came almost at the same time in the three directions. The footsteps were connected from far to near, like the last sign before the tsunami, dull and depressing.

After a few seconds.

On the street directly ahead of Rhodes, a marching general wearing a naval justice cloak, embroidered with a lieutenant general's epaulette and shaved with a dark purple moxidan-headed shape appeared.

Almost at the same time, a marching general wearing a brown jacket, a naval justice cloak, and a cigar in his arms led his team to the street behind Rhodes.

Lieutenant General of the Navy Headquarters.

Squirrel! Mozambia!

Rhodes stood indifferently, staring at the navy gathered silently, and slowly said to the phone bug in his hand:

"Lafitt, you go to the Ghost with Robin, don't let the Navy break my ship."

After saying this, he hung up the phone bug and put it in his pocket.

After a few seconds.

The navy that rushed from the last direction made way to both sides, a scarred naval general walked out slowly, forming a triangle with the squirrel and Mozambia, sandwiching Rhodes in the center.

Three lieutenant generals from the Navy headquarters gathered on the Sakura Street. No one spoke, but the atmosphere of this street has become extremely depressing, almost suffocating.

In a repression.

Daubman, who finally appeared, broke the suppressed and solidified atmosphere. He slowly opened his mouth towards Rhodes, pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and slowly pulled the blade out of the scabbard.

"We finally met."

"Ghost Hand...Roz."

...
