One Piece Talent System Chapter 116-117

"This ability should not directly affect our eyes and ears… Something is wrong"

Momonga forced himself to settle and a thought flashed in his mind. As he gritted his teeth, he quickly retreated toward the rear. He soon felt that his eyes could see and the Buzz in his ear disappeared as he left the dark cage.

"Sure enough, this ability only works within a certain range."

Momonga's eyes flashed a ray of light.

Whiz! Whiz!

After noticing that Momonga had retreated far away, Doberman and Cancer both came to their senses and moved further away.

The three men retreated from the dark cage one after another, but they soon found that retreating from that dark area had no effect when Ross is coming towards them.

The dark cage is centered on Ross's position and even if they are out of the cage, the dark cage will still move with Ross and will change its position.

If they want to fight Ross, they have to go in the Dark Cage.

And.

Ross is faster than them. Even if three of them retreat in three different directions, Ross only needs to chase one and attack him which will create even more flaws.

"Sure enough, we still have to form some defense against him inside that cage."

Doberman and Moognga all know how to fight in the constant confrontation, but Ross did not sit by and watch them form that kind of corner defense situation but continues to rush left and right, destroying the alliance of the three.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Various sounds echoed from the Dark Cage and the Marines were shocked seeing sword energies coming from the battlefield from time to time and leaving cracks on the ground.

No one knows how long it took but the dark cage gradually dissipated, revealing four figures.

Doberman, Momonga, and Cancer are standing in a corner. They are still in constant confusion and confrontation. They are standing defensively against Ross. That's why Ross no longer spends stamina to maintain the dark cage and let it dissipate.

"Hu…Hu…"

Both the Vice Admiral trio and Ross are breathing heavily.

At the moment, Ross's shirt was tattered and there was a wound of about ten centimeters long on his left shoulder, blood stained a shirt and blood dripping on his fist, but most of the wounds are skin wound and there were no deep wounds.

Compared to Ross, the three Vice Admirals are in a difficult position.

Momonga looked at Ross with a sullen look. His left hand was hanging beside him. His entire arm was constantly shaking and it seemed that he could not use it in a short time.

"How are you?"

He asked Cancer.

Cancer looked at his bloody right arm and shook his head as bones pierced through the flesh and blood. "My right arm is out of use for the time being and I can't use my full powered sword arts.

"Cough! Cough!"

Doberman coughed violently. Blood spilled from one side of his mouth and his clothes were covered with blood and stones.

None of them expected that their fight with Ross will lead to such a situation. Although Ross was injured, it was much lighter than them.

"He is Powerfull…"

Doberman gritted his teeth and showed anger in his eyes.

In the strange dark cage just now, every move is extremely grievous and they were passively beaten and they could only defend themselves from  Ross's attacks.

Ross is an excellent experienced fighter as it is clear that even with their numbers advantage, they have lost the power to attack actively.

"His stamina will empty soon, He can't keep using these attacks without some sort of pressure on his body."

Momonga looked at Ross calmly and said, "He's Devil Fruit user. It's bound to take a lot of stamina to maintain that thing. Don't give him a chance to breathe."

Cancer took a deep breath and nodded while looking coldly at Ross, his left hand holding the sword suddenly tightened and he attacked Ross with his sword energy.

Whiz! Whiz!

At the same time, Momonga and Doberman shouted loudly and rushed up from left and right. As Headquarters Vice-Admiral who had experienced countless fights, their battle instincts are good. Although their injuries are serious now, Ross stamina's consumption must be more serious!

If they were replaced by ordinary Pirates, the pirates would have to give up on their dreams and live the rest of their lives as cripple because they could only rely on themselves, but for Marines the situation is different, with the government and Headquarters as a strong backup, as long as they could win, everything would be all right!

Sure enough.

Faced with the pursuit of the three, Ross no longer exerted the ability of the dark cage but used the ability of Gravity Distortion to avoid the three people's frontal attack.

"Single Sword Flow, Water Cutting Blade!"

Momonga's eyes flashed and he suddenly gave a low cry. His trembling left hand barely reached over and grabbed the handle with his right hand. A blue light flashed over the blade, converged at the tip of the blade and swept out at Ross.

This sword directly split out a huge sword energy of about tens of meters and it was very solid. It broke through the air and flew directly to Ross in mid-air.

"Rankyaku (Tempest Kick)!"

Cancer gave a low cry and jumped, kicking four or five chops to block Ross's escape, while the sword in his left-hand slammed into Ross's chest.

Ross was expressionless as he put his hand on Momonga's huge sword energy. The sword energy displayed some elastic characteristics as it slanting from the side of Ross.

Then.

Ross punched and broke Cancer's four or five tempest energy kick. At the same time, his fist matched with Cancer's sword causing the Vice Admiral to retreat.

But just then, Doberman rushed up again not giving Ross a chance to breathe as he needed to kill Ross here.

Far away.

Numerous Marines looked at this scene and their hearts were waving like waves.

"The Vice-Admirals are injured…"

"Ghost Hand Ross is also injured. He is Paramecia's Devil Fruit. The more he uses his Devil Fruit, the more stamina he will consume. It should be over soon."

A lot of people murmured nervously, some glanced at them with open mouths, while others dialed Den Den Mushi and contacted several Headquarters Rear Admiral who are protecting the Battleships and told them to come and reinforce the Vice-Admirals.

On the field.

Ross's stamina is near its end and the wound on his shoulder affected his actions. Under the aggressive attack of Doberman and others, he was constantly pushed back.

"It's really troublesome."

He constantly resists the attacks of Doberman and others and there is a slight fluctuation in his eyes. These Headquarters Vice-Admirals are not only strong but their battle senses are also sharp.

Looking at three Headquarters Vice-Admiral who were trying to make him use his stamina, Ross took a deep breath and his eyes shone cold.

I didn't want to spend my Free Talent Points but my stamina and fitness are still lacking if I want to defeat these three Headquarters Vice-Admirals.

Bang!

Ross blocked the attacking Momonga with a punch, showed a little decisiveness on his face, and moved his mind to evoke the Talent System.

"System!"

"Activate the General talent…Tenacious!"

Chapter 116 Talent "Tenacious"

A translucent system interface appeared in front of Ross and he switched to the Talents Tree of the General Department.

As his mind moved, the branch named 'Tenacious' was instantly activated in the branch of Physical Enhancement and then he put 40 Talent Proficiency Points he obtained by killing Bartra.

Buzz!!

Instantly, a warm current flowed from Ross's heart and through his whole body. His muscles, which had become somewhat weak due to overuse were rejuvenated.

The bloody wound on his shoulder, which had not yet scabbed, began to heal at a faster rate. As for the scabs on his fist, they were constantly falling off and recovering.

Bang!

Ross shouted angrily and he clenched his left hand and punched Doberman's sword which resulted in Doberman flying backward.

Doberman thought that Ross's stamina was completely exhausted, so where does this strength come from which caused him to fly back and even made his arms numb.

"He wants to make a final struggle. Don't let him escape!"

Cancer was also slightly surprised by Ross's sudden burst of power but quickly responded, shouting a warning to Doberman and Momonga.

The three men took a deep breath and all took their strongest defensive measures. They didn't intend to give Ross any chance to break through and rushed out.

Central Place.

The heat flow in Ross is slowly receding. This heat has been strengthening his self-healing ability and he has recovered a lot of his stamina.

With the talent of Tenacious, even if the power of distortion is overloaded, there is no need to fear serious unrecoverable injuries.

His slightly closed eyes slammed open as he took a deep breath and looked at the three Vice Admirals who were rushing towards him, he slightly grinned and with a single thought, the power of distortion in his body broke out.

"The last struggle? No, no, no, you're wrong. This will… decide the final outcome!"

"Take it!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The power of distortion broke out as he directly punched Doberman and Momonga and he kicked Cancer on his chest.

"Dark prison! Meteorite array!"

In the next moment, the dark prison and the cracked earth filled with sand and gravel was manipulated by Ross and the area with a radius of sixty or seventy meters fell into darkness in an instant.

In the darkness, the earth breaks apart and rolls over and strikes in a chaotic way, like a meteorite belt in the sky.

"Damn it… how could he still have the strength to do…"

In the darkness, Doberman's pupils violently contracted and his Observation Haki caught an attack coming from the front and he slammed his sword to defend against it.

Bang!

Under Ross's punch, he flies backward directly. His flighting route just ushered with two pieces of sand and stone more than ten meters in diameter which were squeezed in the middle and the rubble splashed in all directions and blood gushed out violently, dyeing the nearby stones red.

Sensing that Doberman was in danger, Momonga and Cancer both screamed and rushed to support him, but Momonga was blocked by flying stones and had to make a path with his sword.

Cancer alone rushed over in the dark.

Ross looked at Cancer indifferently. He was the only person who could ignore the limitations of the dark cage because it was his own ability.

Cancer can't hear Ross.

Bang!

A single full powered punch caused Cancer to flew out and the sword in his hand could no longer withstand the power of distortion and it broke from the middle.

Of the three, Cancer was the most seriously injured. After his right arm was almost destroyed, his left hand was half weakened further with the loss of his sword and at least 30 or 40% of his strength was cut off. He was no longer capable of confronting Ross and at most, he will be able to restrain Ross for a few seconds.

"Impossible… How could he still have such power…"

When Cancer flies backward, his face becomes a little distorted. It's not unreasonable to believe that Ross's stamina was almost exhausted, How could he explode with such power.

But no matter how unbelievable things are, they are placed in front of him. He flew out and landed in the chaotic rocks like an insect caught on the table. He was hit everywhere by countless rolling balls and his blood spurted out and stained the ground around him red.

The outside world.

Ross's sudden burst of power shocked all Marine.

"Is it not over yet?"

It was at this time that Rear Admiral Strawberry and another Rear Admiral arrived from a distance.

A total of six Headquarters Rear Admiral were dispatched, three people were going to deal with Robin, Laffitte, and others, while the other three were on standby. After receiving information about current circumstances, one of the three was left behind on the ship to guard it and the other two quickly came over.

"What is that?"

Strawberry looked at the Dark Cage and asked.

A Marine Captain next to him, recovered from him dismay and quickly explained to Strawberry what had just happened and described the entire battle process.

"So, It has the ability to isolate sound and vision"

Listening to Marine's Captain explanation, Strawberry nodded and looked at the dark cage. He shook his head and laughed bitterly. Doberman's orders were conveyed in the beginning, but who could have imagined that it would cause such trouble in the future?

Fortunately.

It will all end here, the three Vice-Admirals are here and the other Ghost Hand Pirates are blocked on the island, it is almost impossible for them to get away.

At the next moment, the dark cage in the field dispersed and light gradually returned to the dark area.

"It's over."

The Rear Admiral watched the darkness fade and took a deep breath with cold eyes.

But.

Almost at the next moment, his and Strawberry, as well as the expressions of the many Marines in the room all solidified on their faces.

The land in the field was already fragmented, It looked like a farmland that has been plowed many times. In this terrible battlefield, Cancer's body was lying on a piece of gravel and his face seemed to have an unbelievable look.

Doberman and Momonga, respectively, fell on both sides.

Momonga leaned on his sword and barely stood. He gasped violently. Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth and his arms trembled constantly.

On the other side, Doberman leaned back against a raised rock and barely stood, his chest was collapsing as he struggled to breathe.

Unacceptable!

At this moment, he could not accept the result of Battle in his heart!

"I didn't want to become a pirate."

"You forced me to become one."

The sentence repeated by his subordinates seemed to have changed into Ross's voice, which echoed in his ears as if he had seen Ross say it indifferently in the blood and bones of West Blue.

Did he decide the future direction of this sea?

Don't make jokes!!

Doberman coughed violently, his eyes were trance, angry, regretful and so on. All kinds of emotions erupted constantly and finally converged into a hoarse roar.

"You… no faith… no justice…"

"Even if you grow up to the present strength, it's just an accident. Every pirate wants to dominate the future direction of this sea… Don't be kidding by telling me that it was I who decided the future direction of this sea!"

Ross stood there, slightly gasping, recovering his depleted stamina. He looked at Strawberry and another Headquarters Rear Admiral who were coming towards him and his eyes returned to Doberman and he said.

"Well, you just watch."

"At least today, you couldn't make me fall here."

Stimulating the remaining strength in his body, Ross displayed Gravity Distortion and floated up before crossing an arc in the sky as he flew away.

Strawberry and another Rear Admiral looked at the scene and their fingers on the hilt of their sword couldn't help but squeeze, but they didn't dare to pull their sword to stop Ross.

Doberman lost consciousness, leaving only Momongga still standing there.

He gasped violently until Ross flew away and spoke to Strawberry and the Rear Admiral with great difficulty.

"You… should stop him…"

When the Rear Admiral heard Momonga words his face changed slightly and he shook his fist and said, "I will chase him!"

"Don't go."

Momonga sat down slowly and watched the Rear Admiral before shaking his head and said, "The best opportunity has been missed, now we can't do anything…"

Having said that, he coughed twice and looked at Cancer's body and he also looked towards Doberman whose life and death were unknown to him with a bitter bitterness on his face.

"Give orders to retreat."

" Vice-Admiral Momonga…"

They looked at Momonga with slight astonishment.

Momonga shook his head slowly and said, "No more forced combat. It will only increase casualties and fail to defeat Ghost Hand Ross. The result of this encirclement and suppression is obvious, We failed."

Great Age of Pirates on 13 June.

The Marine fleet, led by three Headquarters Vice-Admiral, met the Ghost Hand Pirates in Spring's island, where Vice Admiral Cancer died and Marine fleet collapsed.

The news came out and shocked the world!
