One Piece Talent System Chapter 224-226

Whiz!

Sengoku rushed to the front of Ross and slammed him out.

Ross dodged Sengoku's attack and appeared behind Sengoku's back and stepped down and trampled Sengoku down from the sky.

At the same time, Tokikake's attack came from behind.

Ross backhandedly resisted Tokikake's attack and caused Tokikake to flew out. Just then, a shock came from below and flew Ross out.

With Sengoku alone, it was hard to win or lose in a short time, but with Tokikake present in the battle and his ability of future prediction, Ross gradually lost interest in Battle.

"After all, it's Marine Fleet Admiral. One-on-two is still too hard."

Ross wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a gentle tone while being suspended in the air.

"Don't make unnecessary struggles, Ghost Hand Ross, We won't let you run away after you destroyed the Marine Headquarters in this way, I must use your life to defend the majesty of Marines!"

Sengoku looked sternly at Ross.

He was not confident in blocking Ross in one-on-one confrontation but with Tokikake and his Future prediction ability, it would be difficult for Ross to escape. He was confident that he can hold Ross here.

But.

At this time, Ross suddenly showed a strange expression, saying: "Destroying this way… Do you think it is just like this?"

When he heard Ross, Sengoku started a little and did not understand what Ross meant.

But at that moment, Tokikake on the other side seemed to see something. There was an expression of horror on his face and he stood with his mouth open.

"Bad… That's terrible!"

The next moment, he saw Ross stepping out to the right, and the whole person had already arrived in front of the Marine Fortress, punching a punch and slamming into the Marine Fortress.

Sengoku didn't know what Ross was going to do, but he was instinctively aware that he should stop this, but he couldn't match the movement of the Ross's Distortion space, and it was too late to do anything.

"What is he trying to do?"

Many Marine recruits in the Marine Headquarters also saw Ross, who appeared in front of the huge fortress, and saw Ross's punching action.

Destroying the Marine Fortress?

This huge Marine fortress, standing in Marinford, is made from one of the world's toughest ores. It is also filled with Seastone and has a unique design. It is not so weak as to be shaken by one blow.

Ross's fist fell silently as countless people watched, the power of distortion swung open and hammered into the Marine fortress.

Bang!

In the next moment.

Everyone's face changed and their mouths widened little by little, whether it was a Rear Admiral or a Vice-Admiral, or even Fleet Admiral Sengoku, they all stared dead and stared incredibly.

Only to see!

After Ross's fist fell, it was like the space in front of him became empty. His attack hit and ripples spread out and the layers swayed. His punch hit the center of the fortress, in the middle of the two characters of 'Marine'. The seagull-shaped one represents the flag of Marine.

The logo representing Marines, under this punch, showed signs of fragmentation, like a whirlpool of Distortion has collapsed on it.

But.

This is not the real scene that shocked and horrified the people.

What really shocked everyone is that the Marine Fortress which gives them an indestructible, strong and ultimate feeling, broke off from the bottom and collapsed towards the Citytown behind the Marine Headquarters under Ross's fist.

One punch!

The Marine fortress collapsed!

"Quick… Quick, there's Citytown behind, you can't let it fall down!"

Tokikake saw this scene in advance with his Future Prediction and took the lead and responded with horror, rushing toward the collapsed Headquarters fortress.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku also woke up from his dream state and his face changed dramatically, he ignored Ross and followed Tokikake and rushed toward the collapsed Headquarters Fortress.

At the rear of the Headquarters Fortress is the Citytown where the family of Marine lives!

No matter who it is, their relatives live there and even Sengoku's relatives live there. If the fortress collapses, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"Block it!"

Sengoku tried his best to rush to the bottom of the collapsed fortress when the fortress collapsed nearly two-thirds and tried to prop up the collapsed fortress.

However, the weight of this fortress is terrifying. It is almost impossible for human beings to support such a terrifying fortress weight with their bodies. Sengoku can break this fortress, but it is not so easy to carry it up!

"Quick… Come and help!!!

Tokikake is also holding on to the collapsed Marine Fortress while screaming at the Venice-Admirals and Rear Admirals who are still watching in the horror.

Ordinary people simply can't resist this, even Rear Admirals has little effect, only those Vice-Admirals can be used to support the collapsed fortress.

Because the fortress is too big, except for Sengoku, who is in the form of a big Buddha, no one else has any foothold at all. They can only tread on the Geppo (Moonwalk) to fight hard. It's like a mayfly shaking a tree!

"This……"

Momousagi, who is confronting Shiliew of the Rain, is also stunned seeing this scene. She didn't expect to see such a scene. Under the shock, she couldn't compete with Shiliew of the Rain and charged towards the collapsing Marine Fortress.

The entire Headquarter is in a mess right now.

Screaming and shouting came and went like a fire at home. Everyone rushed to fight the fire. But they could not save nither could they put out the fire.

Shiliew of the Rain looked at the collapsed Marine Headquarters and stared at it for a long time until Ross walked over to him, he put his sword in its scabbard.

"Sure enough, joining him was the correct decision."

When Sengoku and others rushed to pick up the collapsed Headquarters, Ross flew back to the ruined port and waved at Shiliew of the Rain. The two grabbed a Battleship and Ross used Gravity Distortion to fly it in the sky to go away.

"This… bastard…"

Sengoku screamed while he was carrying the collapsing Marine Headquarters. He had already noticed that the base of the Marine Headquarters had been broken, but there was no way he could give up and he could not free his hand to stop Ross.

Even if his heart is roaring and even if he can't wait to kill Ross 10,000 times. At this time, he can only let Ross and Shiliew of the Rain fly away.

Great Age of Pirates, 16th year.

Ghost Hand Ross teamed up with Shiliew of the Rain and seriously injured Impel Down Chief Magellan, They escaped from Impel Down and created a legend of them being the second one to escape in the history of Impel Down and almost completely destroyed the entire Impel Down Prison.

Half an hour later, Ghost Hand Ross and Shiliew of the Rain hit the Marine Headquarters, destroying the Gulf of Marinford and the fortress of the Marine Headquarters, making a horrible situation and leaving, The Marines failed to stop them.

Three days later.

Ghost Hand Ross's hanging bounty was raised to 1.7 Billion Berries, Shiliew of the Rain's bounty was posted at 1.1 billion Berries and the news spread throughout the sea.

That's what it's said in the last two paragraphs of a news report.

'When we all thought that he became a history, he escaped from Impel Down and rushed into the Marine Headquarters, destroying the Marine Fortress and leaving.

There is no doubt that the Grand Line finally ushered in the fifth Emperor that ruled it…

And that Emperor is Ghost Hand Ross!'

Chapter 224 5th Emperor

New World.

Somewhere in the sea, a Marine Battleship is sailing on the sea.

This Battleship is the Battleship that Ross and Shiliew of the Rain robbed from the Marine Headquarters and Ross took the opportunity to take it directly across the Red Line to the New World.

"Then I'll go there and settle down first."

Ross stood on the deck, looking at an island shadow at the end of the horizon and looking down at Log Pose on his wrist.

Shiliew of the Rain stood beside him and saw the far island.

"In that case, will your men be able to catch up? Maybe Marine and the government will come sooner."

"Rest assured."

Ross said plainly, "Although they can't get in touch for the time being, they have my Vivre Card in their hands, and the news of our escape must have spread all over the world by now."

"That's good."

Shiliew of the Rain took out a box of matches, lighted a fire and lit a cigar and took a sip, and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"I haven't decided yet."

Ross turned and paced to a chair on the deck and sat on it.

After the addition of the Shiliew of the Rain, the Ghost Hand Pirates force has grown directly, but there is still a certain gap compared to the Yonkō (Four Emperors) forces.

Shiliew of the Rain has an advantage over people under Four Emperors, whether they are Three Disasters or General Stars, but apart from Shiliew, only Hajrudin can reach the level of Three Disasters or General Star, he lacks high-level people.

He would be able to stop Yonkō (Four Emperors), but Shiliew of the Rain and others can't beat Yonkō (Four Emperors) subordinates.

If he can recruit a third Disasters-level force in his regiment, even if they won't reach the level of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) Pirates, they won't be far from it. Except for Whitebeard, they would be able to face any other Yonkō (Four Emperors).

After destroying the Marine Headquarters fortress and leaving the Marine Headquarters, Ross received an unexpected reward, 100 Talent Proficiency Points.

Although he did not defeat any Admiral and did not defeat the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, destroying the Marine Headquarters seems to be an event recognized by the Talent System.

100 Talent Proficiency Points.

Ross thought about it a little and put 20 points of proficiency to Distortion Fruit so that Distortion Fruit's proficiency jumped over 700 points.

After crossing the 700-point proficiency barrier, Ross's power of distortions did not show any dramatic increase. Since Distortion Fruit's proficiency reached more than 600, the increase has not doubled as before but slowed down.

From 500 points of proficiency to 600 points of proficiency, his power of distortion has increased by almost three times, but from 600 to 700, the improvement is less than doubled.

However.

Based on Ross's current strength, even if it is upgraded once, it is extremely terrifying, just like raising the envelope from five kilometers to six kilometers, compared with raising the envelope from one hundred meters to three hundred meters, even if the former only increases by 10%, it is several times more than the latter.

For the remaining 80 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross hesitated for a moment and tried to fill in Agility Enhancement and perceived its own changes.

Not surprisingly.

In addition to the most direct increase in his speed, the improvement of agility also increases the speed of power of distortion cohesion and launch, and even the speed of Distortion space.

Ross is now in a very strange field in terms of speed.

Depending on the ability of Distortion Space, he can be faster than Kizaru under certain circumstances, but if it's pure positive close combat, he's still slower than Garp and Kaido, who are at the peak of physical skills, let alone comparing with Kizaru.

In addition.

The launch of the Distortion space also takes time. Although his opponents did not grasp this point well in the confrontation with Kizaru, Sengoku, and others but this weakness will be grasped sooner rather then later if he continues to fight.

Therefore, the speed of his body and the speed of the distortion space are still the most important to him.

After perceiving the improvement of Agility Enhancement and the speed of the Distortion space, Ross slightly thought about the 80 Talent Proficiency Points to Agility Enhancement.

Agility Enhancement: 380 (Top Level Strengthening)

Physical Enhancement: 500 (Maximum Value)

Spirit Heart: 0(Basic Level Strengthening)

Tenacious: 200 (Maximum Value)

Rock: 50 (Mid Level Strengthening)

The Agility Enhancement reached 380 points and there was only a gap of 120 points from the Maximum Value.

According to Ross's judgment, when his Agility Enhancement gets to the Maximum Value, his nerve reaction speed should exceed that of Kizaru's and with the ability of Distortion space, his speed will completely exceed Kizaru.

If the talent 'Rock' is completely full and Armament Haki is also full, the Tenacious degree of his body will not be much different from Kaido, maybe there is a similar possibility.

If the Distortion Fruit is full, even if Time Distortion is not activated, it will definitely surpass the peak of Whitebeard's shock power in the pure power of distortion.

His speed ​will ​surpass Kizaru, his power will surpass Whitebeard, His body will surpass Kaido, His Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki will reach the level of Future Prediction… This will be his final form!

Not far away.

Shiliew of the Rain was standing on the outer edge of the deck and looking at the sea. A news bird suddenly flew over.

"Hey, the newspaper is coming."

He grinned at the news bird with a cigar in his mouth, pulled a coin out of his pocket, popped it into the pocket around the news bird neck and took a newspaper in his hand.

The news bird humanized a salute to Shiliew of the Rain, flapping its wings and flying away.

"Where did you steal the coin from?"

Ross put away the Talent System and looked down at Shiliew of the Rain. He had planned to mourn for the news bird but it seems that Shiliew of the Rain had no desire to kill anything but human beings.

Shiliew of the Rain opened the newspaper and looked at it as he said, "I found it in Battleship and grabbed a little… Well, sure enough, the news of the destruction of Marine Headquarters can't be covered up."

He grinned with pleasure.

Destroying the Marine Headquarters Fortress!

In a sense, this is even more of a big event than the invasion of the territory of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), enough to make an uproar in the world.

Although the destruction of the fortress was entirely a matter for Ross alone, he did not have any credit for him, but he had some light and was painted with a little ink on the report in this newspaper. His bounty directly reached Billion Berries.

It can be said that his reputation has changed overnight, from being second to Magellan, he suddenly became a terrifying existence in the Grand Line 

"It's no accident that his bounty is 1.7 billion Berries."

Ross glanced at the newspaper in his hand and his face showed a hint of laughter.

Shiliew of the Rain continued to see the bottom of the page and saw the depiction of the so-called 'Fifth Emperor'. He couldn't help but grin and said: "Maybe the whole world has been turned upside down by now. Then, if you develop with peace of mind for a while, stabilize the position of the "Fifth emperor."

"I'm afraid it would be difficult to develop with peace."

Ross shrugged, saw Shiliew of the Rain's eyes, and said, "I have killed one of Hundred Beast Kaido's men before, it won't be long before that fellow will come knocking on my door."

Shiliew of the Rain: "…"

However, after witnessing the madness at the Marine Headquarters, he has adapted to Ross's behavior, Ross has the guts to destroy the Marine Fortress, Compared to that, Hundred Beast Kaido is not so terrible.

As a top swordsman, despite choosing to follow Ross, Shiliew of the Rain's goal is not reaching the level of just one of Four Emperors. At this level, people naturally look higher.

Above Yonkō (Four Emperors) is the King!

Only by surpassing Yonkō (Four Emperors) can you really reach the top of this Grand Line. No matter whether Ross and Kaido have a fight now or later, this confrontation is something that will definitely happen, it's just a matter of time.

"Let's go."

Ross took the newspaper from Shiliew of the Rain. After carefully reading it, he threw the newspaper aside and stood up, looking at the island that was approaching in the distance.

Kāchā!

He lifted his foot and gently stepped on it. The entire Battleship began to break down bit by bit from his position. Eventually, the entire Battleship was so broken and completely destroyed.

Ross raised his hand and waved, the power of distortion sprung, sweeping the current below, charging the broken pieces of the battleship into the distance, and he glided with Shiliew of the Rain to the distant island.

Soon.

The two came to the shore of the island and boarded the island.

This is a large island, and there is nothing on the edge, but the architecture inside the island is very prosperous, it's either a country or one of the territories of a Yonkō (Four Emperors).

Ross and Shiliew of the Rain are not afraid of exposing themselves. If someone wants to catch them both, they would need at least three Admiral-level fighters. Obviously, three Admiral-level fighters can't be easily deployed. Besides, the Marine Headquarters is in a mess right now. It's necessary to urgently repair the Impel Down and the Marine Headquarters and they can't afford to deploy all of their top-level fighters.

"Wherever you go, the law of the jungle will never change."

In the slum on the outskirts of the island, Ross and Shiliew of the Rain watched a shabby poor man surrounded by a group of people getting beaten and spitting blood on the ground.

The group eventually left and the poor man who was beaten lay there, not knowing whether he's alive or not. Other people in the neighborhood did not know what the reason was and did not go to rescue him.

"So you have to be strong."

Shiliew of the Rain's gentle said and followed Ross through the street.

Although the poor people on the street and the gang of former assailants failed to recognize Ross and Shiliew of the Rain immediately, they instinctively perceived that Ross and Shiliew of the Rain were not easy to mess with and they all gave a wide berth to let them pass, showing completely different attitudes.

"Yes, that's why we should be strong."

Ross smiled faintly, he did not see the murderers or the poor, so he crossed the street with Shiliew of the Rain and disappeared at the end of the slum.

After passing through the slums, what appeared in front was the gradually prosperous area.

"I'll get some money and change my clothes by the way."

When he escaped from prison, Ross dressed in a few clothes that fitted him, but he still looked very different. He walked with Shiliew of the Rain and looked like a valet.

Shiliew of the Rain didn't care about his clothes. When he was put into Eternal Hell, he was not changed into prison clothes. He was wearing his own clothes, and when he came out, he was still wearing his own clothes.

"Good."

Shiliew nodded, approaching a restaurant.

Ross walked down the street, glanced around, looking for someone who didn't look good, and then calmly educated him and took the tuition.

After a while.

Ross returned to the restaurant, completely replaced with his nondescript clothes, dressed in a very elaborate shirt and a dark trench coat.

The Cursed Blade Murasame was wrapped in black strips and hung around his waist, hiding in the dark windbreaker.

This blade was very uncomfortable to use at first, but after several days of training, it has been much easier to use.

"Oh, it looks much better."

Shiliew of the Rain cut off a bloody cow and put it into his mouth.

Ross ordered a nine-point steak and said, "Never make me look like a follower… Next, I'll stay in this island for a while, but I didn't realize that the world-famous Happy Street is right here. I'll look at it later.

Now that Robin is not around, there isn't even a capable person who can collect and categorized intelligence.

"Oh, do you like that kind of place?"

Shiliew of the Rain said in a less enthusiastic way, "What's the meaning of that place? It's all about women who are powerless. It's better to look for places like arenas or something similar."

 Ross looked at Shiliew of the Rain in a weird look.

Shiliew of the Rain said strangely: "What's wrong? Is it anything I said?"

"No, its nothing."

Ross shook his head and said, "Let's split up then."

Happy Street.

This is one of the most famous entertainment blocks in the world. The whole street is full of places like casinos and bars. Every now and then, a nobleman passes by with one or two beautiful women in his arms.

If he remembers it correctly, the ruler here should be one of the secret undercover agents of the World Government subordinates CP0, Stussy, Queen of the Pleasure District.

However.

Killing a normal CP0 member will produce no rewards for him at all so Ross isn't interested in her at all. To come here is simply to enjoy and see if he can bump into luck and meet Fujitora again. If he can get Fujitora aboard, it will be much less difficult to fight against the Yonko(Four Emperors) pirate regiment.

When Ross stepped into Happy Street, in a luxury building in the middle of Happy Street, a beautiful figure was standing at the window with Den Den Mushi in her hand.

"Ghost Hand Ross and Shiliew of the Rain are here, do you want to take action."

"… They need to be dealt with in the long run.

On the other side of Den Den Mushi came the voice of one of the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) and he said in a low voice: "But you can try it, any means can be done."

"Understand."

Stussy nodded gently and hung up the Den Den Mushi.

On the other side.

One of the Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) was sitting in his office of the highest level of the World Government. He thought that Ross was able to get out of Impel Down. He didn't expect his strength to increase to this level, he even destroyed the Marine Headquarters fortress.

Although Ross's power is not enough to compete with Yonkō (Four Emperors), whether it's his current strength or his name at the sea, it is no exaggeration to call him the Fifth Emperor.

This is the situation that Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) didn't want to see at first.

"Marin Fort and Impel Down are rebuilding. If we want to deal with Ghost Hand Ross and Shiliew, we have to mobilize at least two Battle forces above the Admiral level. Can we even do that right now, is it even appropriate?"

"No matter whether we can or can't, we have to do this."

A Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) squinted and said: "Compared with Whitebear and Hundred Beast Kaido, Ghost Hand Ross pose a greater threat to us. They would rather let other Yonko(Four Emperor) exist than let Ross develop."

Whether it is Whitebeard or Hundred Beast Kaido, they generally don't take the initiative to find trouble with the government, nor will they take the initiative to attack the Marines.

But Ross is different.

Whether it is the Dressrosa incident or the Impel Down escape or the attack on the Marine Headquarters, it proves that Ross is a threat to the government, both in strength and in thought!

"Ghost Hand Ross and Shiliew of the Rain will not be so easy to annihilate but they have provoked Hundred Beast Kaido before, and with Kaido's character, he will not let them go easily."

"If that's the case, maybe you can pass the message to Kaido."

"We can't put all of our hopes entirely on Kaido. We must also send troops out…"

The Gorōsei (Five Elder Stars) talked to each other and eventually turned the plan into a single order and gave it out.
