Bang!
Jon fell from the sky, accompanied by blood and slammed on the beach, hitting the beach and creating a human-shaped crater as numerous rocks splashed around.
The other two Headquarters Rear Admiral saw this scene from far away and their heart was filled with horror and fear. They didn't even dare to came and rescue their comrade and fled in the distance.
One move to defeat Jon!
Even Vice-Admirals of Headquarters can't do it. Ghost Hand Ross is so powerful that it is hard to believe that he was just a small Pirate Hunter in the West Blue two years ago.
Ross did not look at the other two Rear Admiral who had escaped. With his hands on his back, Ross floated back to the beach and headed for the boat. He felt a little stir and movement in the pit behind him.
"It's for you, Laffitte."
"Okay, Captain."
Laffitte grabbed the brim of his hat and saluted Ross and then turned his cane towards the human pit.
Ross, with his hands on his back, slowly climbed onto Ghost Shadow Ship and disappeared from the public's eyes.
Robin smiled slightly and instantly relaxed. Not far away, Law breathed, sat on the beach and gasped.
In a place where they can't see.
Ross, who had just stepped into the cabin, stumbled and almost fell down. He barely stood on the bulkhead and restored a little stamina. He was almost empty on stamina just now. Otherwise, he would not leave the follow-up to Laffitte.
No one can see it.
Ross gasped violently for two times, then swayed back to his room, retreated from the cabin door and fell on the bed.
It was the moment he opened the door that a familiar voice came to his ears.
"The Marine Headquarters fleet has been defeated and you are rewarded with 50 Talent Proficiency Points."
When Ross heard this sound, he could not help slightly twitching his lips. As a matter of fact, the system would not drill any holes for him. Even if three Headquarters Vice-Admiral were defeated, they would still be settled according to a Vice-Admiral reward as long as they belonged to the same queue.
Plus the Vice-Admiral award, which had been awarded once before, halved to 50.
Well, forget it.
Previously, he was worried that this time the system would judge that Marine fleet had not been defeated. So he would gladly take the 50 Proficiency Points. He only gained 40 Proficiency Points when he defeated his last pirate.
With that in mind, Ross's mind moved and the system Interface appeared in front of him and after a little thought, he put 10 Proficiency Points in the General Department's Tenacious.
The golden light flashed and the General panel changed subtly.
Agility Enhancement: 200 (Top Level Strengthening)
Physical Enhancement: 350 (Top Level Strengthening)
Tenacious: 50 (Mid Level Strengthening)
The Tenacious talent was originally at 40 Proficiency Points and now with additional 10 Proficiency points, it directly broke through to the level of Mid Level Strengthening and instantly made Ross's stamina and resilience strengthen again.
Compared to the two major talents of Physical Enhancement and Agility Enhancement, Tenacious Maximum Value is only 200 proficiency Points, while Physical Enhancement and Agility Enhancement Maximum Value are 500 points.
In the Talent System, the highest Maximum Value belongs to the Distortion Fruit, which requires 1000 proficiency points, while Physical Enhancement and Agility Enhancement require 500 points respectively. As for others like Tenacious, Armament Haki, etc., Their Maximum Value is 200 points.
"Hu."
After the Tenacious talent reached Mid Level Strengthening, Ross noticeably felt a lot more comfortable with his heavy body. After a slight heat flow flowed through his body, he lay there, his limbs gradually recovered and the side effects from overloading his Devil Fruit Power were gradually washed away.
"I don't know if I will get an Immortal body like that of Hundred Beast Kaido when Tenacious reached Maximum Value…" Ross touched his chin and thought.
Tenacious alone should not be enough. Physical Enhancement should also be full and his basic physique has to be further improved for him to reach the physique of Hundred Beast Kaido.
Looking at Talent System's Interface, after a little thought, Ross put all the remaining 40 proficiency points in the Distortion Fruit.
Now he can overuse his power of the distortion fruit with the help of Tenacious talent, It is not necessary for him to upgrade his physical fitness this time, He will be able to bear the 40 Point increase in the power of the distortion fruit.
Buzz!!
A golden glow flashed, and Distortion Fruit's proficiency reached 445.
After the upgrade, the full power of distortion obviously exceeds Ross's current physical body, but he has the Tenacious talent, as long as the gap is not very large, even if his body is overloaded with the power of distortion, he can gradually recover.
"Next time, A Admiral will come after me."
Ross turned over and looked at the ceiling while meditating.
Vice-Admiral of Marine Headquarters has been killed and Marine Admiral will surely be the next encirclement and suppression. Although his current strength is stronger than that of a senior Vice-Admiral, there is still a huge gap between him and a Marine Admiral.
At least another two or three hundred Talent Proficiency Points will be needed for him to have the qualification to fight an Admiral. Before that, once he encounters an Admiral, the whole ship will be crushed.
No rest.
No pleasure.
It's like running on the road with a lion on his ass. Once he stops, he will become someone's dinner.
Ross knows the danger of the road he has taken. For this reason, he has never stopped persevering since he was forced to take it because he will never fall halfway to rewrite the future direction of the sea!
"The pirate offering a reward of 100 million to 200 million berries is of little value now. There's no need to look for them one by one for the time being. After he enters the New World, they will be everywhere…"
"In the first half of the Grand Line, The only valuable pirates are those who have a bounty of 200 million berries and Shichibukais are also valuable but I don't know if killing another Shichibukai will give me any rewards?"
Ross was thinking about his future and his targets.
The Talent System has never had any loopholes that he can exploit. It won't make it easy for him to extract a lot of proficiency points. His only advantage today is that his strength is above the hunting line.
He hasn't killed any pirate with the bounty of 230 million berries and with his current strength, defeating this level of pirates is nothing for him.
Unless they are a pirate from the New World with a bounty of 300 million berries, No one possesses the strength to stop him.
"Don't let me down with the intelligence collection, CP9." Ross squinted and muttered.
After defeating the fleet led by Headquarters Vice-Admiral, he will face the most dangerous period of time. Once he can get through it and has the strength to escape in front of a Marine Admiral, he will finally have the capital to cross the sea!
Marine Headquarters.
Vice-Admirals of Headquarters are second only to Marine Admirals and even some of the high-level meetings of Marine and the government. Vice-Admirals of Headquarters are eligible to participate.
Even though Momonga and others were newly promoted Headquarters Vice-Admiral, their attack ended in defeat and even Cancer fell in the battle. Such an event undoubtedly caused an earthquake in the whole Marine Headquarters.
Marine held an emergency meeting inside. All three Marine Admiral Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu were present. The outcome of the meeting was unknown, but the Marines outside could clearly see the depressing expression on Admirals and Vice-Admiral's faces.
The impact of this incident is too great.
Almost everyone knows that Marine Headquarters goes from officers to recruits and that the government and Marine can only do their best to eliminate the influence and not completely suppress the matter.
A few days after the incident, news about the Ghost Hand Pirates was taken by the news bird to all over the world and at the same time, the new Bounty Posters that were issued by the government also circulated.
Devil Child Nico Robin, hanging bounty 85 million Berries!
Demon Sherrif Laffitte, hanging bounty 150 million Berries!
Surgeon of DeathTrafalgar Law, hanging bounty 30 million Berries!
Great Axe Xilu, hanging bounty 64 million Berries!
Apart from Ross, the bounty of his four crew members has reached 329 million Berries. Some Supernova Pirates in the first half of Grand Line, together with Captain, can hardly exceed that amount.
In addition, there is a bounty poster that belongs to the Pirates Captain, Ghost Hand Ross, a reward level never seen in the first half of the Grand Line.
440 million Berries!
This level of bounty is enough to be recognized as a strong man even in the second half of the Grand Line, the New World and in the first half of the Grand Line this level of bounty has never appeared in so many years!
After receiving this message, the major forces did not shake as before, but they were silent as they did not know what to say anymore.
"If the government and Marine can no longer impose sanctions on them, then once they are based on New World, it is likely that they will change the pattern of New World Yonko (Four Emperors)!"
Many people have reached a similar conclusion.
Even though the current strength of the Ghost Hand Pirates is far from reaching the level of Yonko, but their potential is horrifying!
New World.
In the Kingdom of Dressrosa in the back garden of the palace, Doflamingo is sitting in a reclining chair beside the swimming pool with a new newspaper in his hand.
After reading the newspaper for a while, he drew out a bounty order from it. Although no one could not see his eyes under his sunglasses, several veins broke out onto his forehead veins.
"Surgeon of Death? Law… you kid."
"Doffy, Law got on the Ghost Hand Pirates' ship. What should we do?"
The sticky, sluggish Trebol crawled from one side to the side of Doflamingo, his face slightly deformed.
He naturally knows something about Pirate Supernovas. But before today, even if Ghost Hand Ross's hanging bounty reached 300 million, he wouldn't care too much.
After all.
The first half of the Grand Line is completely different from the second half. The second half is called the New World. It does mean a new world. Only when someone strong enough comes to the New World, which is ruled by Yonkō (Four Emperors) and have the strength to at least put a fight against the Yonko, then and only then are they qualified to run amok in the sea.
But today, the news said that the Ghost Hand Pirates defeated an entire fleet led by three Headquarters Vice-Admiral and the bounty of the Ghost Hand Ross is increased to 440 million Berries!
He knew what it means.
Even Doflamingo only had a bounty of 340 million berries before he became a Shichibukai, although the current Doflamingo has the strength that will put him in the leagues with the 500 million berries pirates, The Ghost Hand Pirates are no longer an insignificant existence.
"Fufufufu, what to do? Nothing."
Doflamingo stared at the bounty order for several seconds and his eyebrows suddenly relaxed. He threw the bounty order aside and gave a strange laugh.
"Having defeated the Vice-Admiral fleet of Marine Headquarters, can Admirals still sit idly by? So we don't do anything, let's just wait for Marine to catch the little devil Law for us."
For Doflamingo, he is both a tenryubito and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It was easier to get a pirate with the bounty of 30 million Berries from Marines than to fight the Ghost-Hand Pirates to the death.
"Nah, that's right."
Trebol also showed a smile. They had some ways to negotiate with Marine and deal with the government. There was no need to fight with The Ghost Hand Pirates.
Doflamingo took a sip of wine from the glass and said: "Mobilize our Intelligence department to collect all the intelligence about the Ghost Hand Pirates, preferably their location and quietly send it to Vergo for delivery to Marine."
"Oh… that's great."
Vergo was Donquixote Family's first official member and he is now undercover in Marine Headquarters and has reached a rank of Rear Admiral with a step-by-step promotion.
If Ross's intelligence can be obtained and handed over to Marine, it will not only add to Vergo's achievements but it will also attract Marine Admiral to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates, killing two birds with one stone.
Somewhere in White town.
The man in the green trench coat is staring at a newspaper in his hand.
"The survivor of O'Hara's, Nico Robin and the Ghost Hand Pirates, your situation is very dangerous…"
Not far away, a golden-haired teenager was practicing with a fisherman, beside which a young girl sat on the top of the ruins and looked at them while smiling.
Water Seven.
On a Pirate Ship that was docked here, Leader Don Chinjao was standing there, staring at the newspaper with one hand and the other hand subconsciously touching his head.
"Marines are still useless as always."
His biggest enemy in this life is Garp, but he can't beat Garp and he can't find Garp's family. Since Sai died by Ross's hands, Ross became his second enemy. During this period, he has been looking for Ross's traces.
Now he is located in Water Seven, not far from Oezi sea and the Spring island. He can arrive in the next island earlier than Ross and there is a great possibility for him to intercept the Ghost Hand Pirates, but the growth of the Ghost Hand Ross in just two years is astonishing.
440 million Berries!
This growth rate is too horrible. In just two years, Ross is almost out of his control. If he waited for some time then Ross will become another Garp for him and by that time he can only bear the hate in his heart and won't be able to do anything.
Whether to intercept the Ghost Hand Pirates in the next island, he is afraid that it is his last chance.
"That damn junior."
"I will use your blood to pay tribute to Sai…."
