One Piece Talent System Chapter 245-247

Walking.

There was a sudden commotion from the crowd, and the royal guard led the way in the rear, escorting the crowned King Riku and others.

And King Riku and others haven't arrived yet, and a little pink-haired girl arrived in front of him.

"Please, are you Mr. Ross?"

"Asked the little pink girl, with big, lovely eyes, addressing Ross with a childish voice. It was Princess Rebecca of Dressrosa, King Riku's granddaughter.

Ross looks down at Rebecca, who is only ten years old now, and some of his memories come out and he can't help smiling.

Robin on one side became quite fond of Rebecca, and said: "if there is no other person with the same name here, then it should be our Captain."

"Thank you very much."

Rebecca bit her lip and bowed towards Ross, thanking him with a childish and pure voice. If it weren't for Ross, she wouldn't know that the one-legged toy soldier protecting her was her father Kyros.

"You know, a princess shouldn't bow to others."

Ross faintly smiled, It doesn't matter if you're a Pirate or a Princess. In his opinion, this kind of girl is a cute creature, different from the ordinary people around her.

It was at this time that King Riku's voice came from behind.

"No, Rebecca should thank you."

Surrounded by soldiers, King Riku came through the crowd. As the King of the land and an elderly man, his face and manner were calm and unrevealing.

He looked at Ross with the most solemn expression, and said, "Allow me to express to you, on behalf of all the people of Dressrosa, our utmost gratitude."

Many years ago.

He was framed by Doflamingo, stripped of his status as king, and reduced to a sinner in Dressrosa, all of which seems like hell to him as a king.

But more than half a year ago, Ross came to Dressrosa, breaking the light of the surface and revealing all the darkness to the public and fought and defeated the devil so that the country can enjoy the sunshine again, which is a great grace towards him and the people of Dressrosa.

"Your majesty… "

All the people nearby were surprised to see King Riku slowly bowing to Ross. A guard tried to stop him, but his outstretched hand stopped in midair.

However.

King Riku wasn't able to bow before he was stopped.

"Please, King Riku, we're pirates." Robin stops King Riku from saluting and speaks softly to King Riku.

After the Dressrosa incident, it became a place where the World's attention converged. Not only did the Revolutionary Army secretly protect it, but also all the major forces were secretly staring at it. The World Government could not easily impose Buster Call on it to destroy the country.

To do so would be to create a bigger mess than the Dressrosa incident.

But.

If King Riku bowed to a pirate, it would give the World Government a chance to make a great fuss about Dressrosa, even if they couldn't do anything to it.

"Nico Robin…"

King Riku was stopped and turned to look at Robin and became a little silent.

Ross slowly opened his mouth and Distorted his voice and said King Riku so only he could hear. "This is not a place to talk. It just so happens that I want to talk to you. I don't know if your palace is rebuilt."

With that, Ross took Sugar's little hand and walked through the crowd on one side with Robin, disappearing in an instant.

King's Plateau.

Dressrosa's palace was finally being built and is still under reconstruction. The temporary palace is on the former King's Plateau, where King Riku and other royal families live.

Robin and Ross, standing in the garden of the King's Plateau, looking out at the view of the garden.

"If word got out about the bow you took towards a pirate, there'd be a lot of fuss because you are still part of the World Government."

"World Government…"

King Riku sighed. "After all this, how can I trust the World Government again?"

In fact, he wanted to quit the World Government, but the real royal family in charge of Dressrosa was the Donquixote Family eight hundred years ago, and it was only when the Donquixote Family moved to the Holy Land Mariejois that King Riku's ancestors took over the throne.

Therefore, Dressrosa is one of the original orthodox countries to join the World Government. Even if he is the king, he has no right to withdraw from the World Government.

Robin sighed.

However, she had a clear understanding of Dressrosa's history before and after and understood King Riku's situation. No matter how dissatisfied he was with the World Government, he could do nothing.

Ross looked at the Sunflower Garden in King's Plateau and said: "If there is a huge regime that can oppose the World Government, what choice will you make, King Riku."

"Well……"

King Riku was startled.

As one of the Five Emperors, it is obviously not possible for Ross to say such unreasonable words, but for there to be a regime that can opposite the World Government, which has not been opposed in 800 years!

Even the 'Four Emperors' wouldn't oppose the regime of the World Government. The only reason that the World Government didn't want to fight them is that it would cause too much impact and loss and they had just let the Yonkō (Four Emperors) let go, otherwise, not a single one of Yonkō (Four Emperors) has the power to fight against the government and win.

To establish a regime that is opposed to the government, it is not enough to plant flags on some islands. In addition to having enough power to contend with the government, countries far more than the islands in the New World should choose to join.

Otherwise.

It's just a joke.

This is a much more difficult goal to achieve than becoming a pirate king. Even if Ross is already one of the five emperors, it is almost impossible for him to establish a faction that opposes the government even with King Riku's help.

"If there is a new government that is fair and just, I am willing to join."

King Riku slowly opened his mouth. There was no one here but himself and Ross and Robin, so he didn't mind saying something that would turn the World Government against him.

Ross's faintly smiled.

This is the beginning and this is the first country that had joined him, although there is still a long journey ahead.

Defeating all Yonkō (Four Emperors), going to the apex of Yonkō (Four Emperors), become the Pirate King and even this is not enough, he must have at least three forces powerful enough to rival Yonkō (Four Emperors) Pirates. Only then would he have the capital to fight against the World Government.

On the site, even if all the sites of the Yonkō (Four Emperors) Pirates are brought together and the whole New World is included, it will barely meet the 'regime' standard.

Naturally.

All of these are goals that are too far away right now. The biggest problem he's facing now is Yonkō (Four Emperors). How to beat Yonkō (Four Emperors) and take their place is what Ross is currently considering.

It is extremely ridiculous for the 'Emperor' to be empty and powerful without any territory.

In the eyes of countless forces in the whole sea, including King Riku standing here, they all know very well that the Ghost Hand Pirates will inevitably collide with other Yonkō (Four Emperors)!

Will it be a reshuffle, or splitting the sphere of influence into five pieces, or will there eventually be someone annihilated, restoring the former Yonkō (Four Emperors) pattern?

No one knows.

The only thing to know for sure is that the sea will never settle down!

In the coming battle of the five sovereigns, the entire New World will be affected, and the second half of the Grand Line may become a battlefield!

While Ross was enjoying the scenery with Robin in the garden on King's Plateau, a figure appeared in front of him in a dark arc.

The figure was wearing a high-top ceremonial hat and holding a mahogany cane, he was Laffitte.

"Captain Ross."

Laffitte bowed slightly to Ross, holding a mahogany stick in one hand, his other hand turned into the void and a fine Devil Fruit appeared in his hand.

"The fruit you were looking for."

A few people went to Grinbit to find Heal-Heal Fruit, and the results were that it was easier to find than they had thought. They first encountered Dwarves Race, and the Dwarves Race didn't even need hypnosis. Laffitte literally said a few words which included Ross's name and the Dwarves Race began to launch a full scale invasion on their own island to help Laffitte find the Devil Fruit.

Under a large-scale search, Grinbit was quickly turned over and they eventually found the Heal-Heal Fruit hidden in vines in a hole.

"Well, it went better than I thought."

Ross smiled as he took the delicate-looking Heal-Heal Fruit from Laffitte.

Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit's medical strength does not need to be mentioned, Heal-Heal Fruit being able to cure all internal injuries is not just empty talk, its ultimate ability can even restore all wounds!

Even if the internal organs are damaged or even missing, under the ability of Heal-Heal Fruit, they can be restored, the only drawback is that the ultimate ability has to be used at the cost of one's life.

"Lucky day we're having today."

Robin stood by and looked at the exquisite Heal-Heal Fruit with a smile.

Now they have the Heal-Heal Fruit with them and there is also the Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit. As long as they are not fatally injured and die on spot, there is a cure for almost everything. It is two-layered insurance.

"This is very good."

"And with our next step is to fight a Yonkō (Four Emperors). It is also an early preparation."

Ross slowly opened his mouth, took a closer look at Heal-Heal Fruit, put it in his pocket, and motioned for Laffitte to return to the ship.

Laffitte lifted up his ceremonial hat, smiled and flashed, disappearing from the King's Plateau and headed for the coast.

"Let's go."

Ross also walked forward, and he reached out to Void.

Buzz!!

The space in front of him is suddenly folded and distorted, forming a Distortion channel. Ross takes Sugar by the waist with one hand and Law bin with the other, and steps forward.

With this step, the three figures suddenly crossed hundreds of meters from the King's Plateau and appeared on a roof in Dressrosa.

The limit of space that Ross can fold currently is about a kilometer, which means he can fold space in any direction he chooses and get away.

Whiz! Whiz!

He can also use this ability several times in a row, just like flash steps.

When the final step falls, on a ship anchored on the shore, Void suddenly bends and Ross is seen taking one step and landing on the deck.

"Captain."

Road, who had been watching the ship, became alarmed at the strange movement, but seeing that it was Ross, he dropped his guard down.

Ross nodded towards Road and put down Sugar before asking Road:

"Where is Gerth?"

"Loading freshwater and fish over there."

Road pointed to the side of the ship.

For the Heal-Heal Fruit, the most suitable user is naturally Gerth. As a giant, she is large enough and has a strong vitality, her life expectancy is far longer than the average human.

Gerth can heal other giants using the Heal-Heal Fruit and she may be the only one who can stand the consumption to heal the other giants. For the time being, treating ordinary humans such as Laffitte and others, the effect is likely to increase greatly, and the consumption may be reduced by several times. So that even with using the ultimate ability, life expectancy will only be reduced by a little bit.

After Ross nodded, he headed in the direction pointed by Road, the Giants are bigger so they are easy to find and Ross was able to see her at a glance.

Whiz!

As he stepped down, the whole man flashed onto Gerth's shoulder.

"Captain?"

Gerth did a double-take, turned her head and looked over her shoulder and found Ross sitting there with a smile on his face.

Ross stood on her shoulder and took out the Heal-Heal Fruit and put it at her red lips. Heal-Heal Fruit was like millet and it fell into Gerth's mouth.

"What?"

Although the Devil Fruit is tiny compared to her size but like a human eating a grain of sand, it still doesn't taste good.

Gerth felt bitter in her mouth and couldn't help but say: "Captain, what did you throw?"

"Devil Fruit."

Ross flew up and came to the front of Gerth, responding to her.

Gerth had guessed the Devil Fruit possibility. Ross couldn't have shot anything else in her mouth.

After the bitterness passed, she noticed a force coming out of her body.

It was a very gentle force that flowed to every part of her body and she felt the warm comfort of that area. It flowed to her feet and wrists, and all the small bruises and her tiredness vanished.

"This is……"

Gerth put down the bucket in surprise and looked at her hands.

If none of her fellow giants had Devil Fruit then she also wouldn't want one, but now that her fellow giants had eaten the devil fruit, she also had a very strong desire for Devil Fruit, because everyone else was much more powerful than she was.

"Heal-Heal Fruit, you need to figure out the specific properties and effects of this devil fruit by yourself, just know that the scope of this fruit is not limited to treatment, but also eliminate fatigue, supplement stamina, and various other extraordinary effects."

Ross looked at Gerth and smiled.

Although Heal-Heal Fruit is not a Battle oriented devil fruit, its role is unquestionable in a fight. Imagine Aokiji and Akainu fighting for ten days and ten nights in order to compete for the position of the Fleet Admiral. Finally, Akainu was slightly better.

In this process, If Aokiji received a dandelion that can restore some of his Stamina and heal his injuries, the results of the entire Battle will be directly reversed!

"You have Devil Fruit now, Gerth."

Hajrudin came to the ship with a large barrel and smiled at Gerth, they were joined by Goldberg and others.

The Devil Fruit users are the majority population of this ship. Gerth had never had the Devil Fruit ability and now she had also got it.

This is the end.

The Giant Corps finally has five devil fruit users giants!

"You carry on, and let Gerth think about her own strength." Ross spoke to Hajrudin and the others, and flew to the ship.

When he came to the ship's deck, Shiliew of the Rain seemed to have just returned.

"Did you give it to her? Heal-Heal Fruit…"

He had a cigar in his mouth and looked at Gerth's direction. His eyelids hang down and said, "This is fine."

When he heard Shiliew of the Rain, Ross wondered: "What's wrong? Did you wanted the Heal-Heal Fruit?!"

There are very few non devil fruit users on board today, and Shiliew of the Rain is one of them, but Shiliew of the Rain is a character who has nothing to do with healing!

"It's nothing."

Shiliew of the Rain shook his head and looked faintly: "I was just thinking about the situation when I met the enemy. Would it be more interesting to cure him after attacking him, and cure him again before killing him with one blow"

Ross glanced at Shiliew of the Rain with a blank expression and turned toward his cabin.

Not even going to ask. Let's just forget that I heard that.

"Future Prediction…"

In the ship's practice room, Ross holds a piece of Seastone in each hand to make himself weak and to suppress the power of distortion and avoids the bullets being fired around him.

To stimulate Observation Haki to the limit alone is not to touch the ability of Future Prediction, but it is to plunge one's consciousness into an infinite extension of time.

To practice Future Prediction, a more specific approach is needed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Robin conjured up a dozen arms, each holding a handgun and she kept firing them at Ross.

Your body becomes weak while holding the Seastones so it's not easy to avoid a bullet even if your Kenbonshoku (Observation) is fully aroused. From time to time, it will be hit by the bullets.

However.

With Ross's current physical strength, the bullet will only leave a simple white mark on him even without him using the Armament Haki to defend himself.

If it wasn't clear how strong Ross was and that the regular bullets were at best toys to him than Robin wouldn't have accompanied him to this "dangerous" training.

Bang! Bang!

Robin shot randomly with so many guns and it became even more difficult for Ross to predict the paths of the bullets even with his Kenbonshoku (Observation) and Ross had to keep the Spirit Heart state active all the time to avoid the bullets.

It's hard to avoid all bullets as his body got more and more bruised, it is difficult to avoid all bullets even with using Kenbonshoku (Observation) to perceive their paths.

In this state, if he wants to avoid all bullets perfectly, he must have the ability of Future Prediction, to see the flight trajectory of all bullets in advance and to stand in the position that avoids all the bullets in advance or put himself in a position that can pass through the bullet net.

Poof bursts! Poof bursts!

In a series of elusion, Ross's forehead soaked with sweat and he was ultimate hit by two bullets in his chest and stomach and could no longer hold the two Seastones.

The two Seastones fell to the ground, and Ross sat on the ground and gasped.

"All right?"

Robin came over and looked at Ross. She saw a slight white dot on his chest and stomach and her eyes flashed slightly.

Although Ross' stamina is mostly drained but under the strong resilience brought by the Tenacious Talent Maximum Value, the white point that was shot by the bullet disappeared in a few seconds.

"It's all right."

"Seems to have got the hang of it."

Ross calmed his breath and slowly opened his eyes with a thoughtful look in them and his mind was constantly reminiscing about the practice process.

This practice is still slightly dangerous. For example, if he is hit in the eyes, the problem will be very big. However, with Ross's current resilience and his recovery speed, even if his eyeballs are hurt, they can be recovered without a problem.

"Don't ask me to do this again."

Robin looked at Ross and opened her mouth with a deadpan expression. Even though she knew that Ross would not be hurt, she still felt uncomfortable shooting guns at him.

Ross recovered back from his thoughts and saw Robin's appearance. He couldn't help but raise his lips and said: "How can I quit halfway and you promised that you would help me train."

"You didn't say it was this kind of training."

Robin stared at Ross with a blank expression.

Ross gathered the middle finger and the first finger and made a gun posture with his hand. He moved the hand made gun towards Robin and said, "You can't go back on your promise. Come, let's continue. If you don't shoot me, I will shoot you. "

Robin stood up and glanced at Ross before walking out of the training room, ignoring Ross's threat.

Ah.

After resting for a few hours, Robin came back to help Ross with his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki training.

The ship has already left the Dressrosa at this time, heading deeper into the New World, and just after Ross completed another workout session and feels that he is closer to activating the Future Prediction ability, the intelligence from Kaku and others was delivered.

"The Beast Pirates made a big move?"

In the bathroom, Ross wiped the water off his face with a towel, his eyes flashing as he listened to the news from Robin nearby.

"The details?"

"We can't find out. We only know that the Beast Pirates have completed mobilized their forces and left the island they were anchored upon. We can't find out what their target and purpose is."

Robin said slowly.

No one dares to follow the ships of a Yonkō (Four Emperors) Pirate group. It is possible to detect that the Yonkō (Four Emperors) Pirates has gathered all of their combat forces and left the center of their territory. Which is already enough to alarm the intelligence of all parties.

"He could be coming against us."

Ross thought for a moment and made a judgment.

Kaido might not have paid attention if Ross had been weak enough to challenge the Beast Pirates, but now that he has been proclaimed as the Fifth Emperor of the sea, it's a different story for Kaido.

"What should we do, should we bypass the established route?"

Robin came over and put the bathrobe on Ross's body and asked.

Their originally proposed route is very close to the territory of the BIGMOM Pirates and it is also very close to one of the territories of the Beast Pirates. Their destination is an island on the border of the two sides.

Now that the Beast Pirates party is on the move. If they want to avoid them, they have to bypass their original route and take the route between the territories of Whitebeard and Akagami (Red Hair), so Kaido will have to run into either Akagami (Red Hair) or Whitebeard's Territory.

"No."

"Stay on course."

Ross pulled on his bathrobe and stepped out of the bathroom, he straightened his hair and said with a glint in his eye, "Since Kaido wants to fight, let's fight!"

Since confrontation with other Yonkō (Four Emperors) is only a matter of time, it is better to start now.

If he can defeat the Beast Pirates than it would be better. If he can't beat him, Ross doesn't think Kaido can do the same either.

The Ghost Hand Pirates combat power is now fully formed, they are strong enough to rival any pirate group. There is no possibility of being a one-sided fight and being crushed and killed.

"Then we are ready for war."

Robin said faintly.

Currently, she is not the scared little girl who escaped from O'Hara's, and Devil Child that has been hiding under the pursuit of Marine.

She has experienced many battle many times and she has trained with Ross many times too. Even if she doesn't like to fight, she can now utilize the hardened Armament Haki, she is also proficient in Observation Haki and she has developed her Flower-Flower Fruit (Hana Hana no Mi) and she can now create doppelgängers with her powers.

Her mentality and strength have been promoted by a lot since the time when they all got chased by Aokiji and had to flee.

"Let everyone know."

Ross said quietly.

Robin nodded and exists the room and passed the message to the rest of the Ghost Hand Pirates.

"Hundred Beast Kaido?"

Shiliew of the Rain pulled out the second generation ghost blade and looked at the sharp blade, his face showing a calm and heart-wrenching smile.

"The Beast Pirates, isn't it?"

Ficheux Erman sighed as another headache came to him, he sighed again and said: "Since it's a fight they want than a fight they will get!"

"Ho, ho, ho, the world is going to be shocked again."

Laffitte wiped his black ceremonial hat and made a creepy laugh.

"Kaido? I finally got to this step."

Trafalgar Law put the demon blade on his shoulders, his eyes flashing with sharpness.

"I heard that the Beast Pirates are very strong."

The giant of the sand, Road said slowly.

Hajrudin, with a calm face, clenched his fist in front of him and said: "Any enemy can be beaton in front of the Giants Corps!"

"Let's fight for the glory of Elfbuff and Captain!"

Everyone in the Giant Corps is filled with fighting sprit. As pure warriors, there is absolutely no fear in their hearts. Even if the other party is the Beast Pirates, it is the same!

Ghost Hand Pirates.

All staff… prepare for war!
