One Piece Talent System Chapter 33-34

Harbour.

Under a lot of people's greedy gaze, after the huge Treasure Tree Adam branch was firmly tied, Ross reached out and pushed it into the water.

200 million berries Treasure Tree Adam branch, no matter who it was they were a bit jealous, but Ross slaughtering pirates a few days ago is still remembered by them and even if there are any thoughts about it, most of the pirate will wait and see before taking any action.

"He got the branch of Treasure Tree Adam. If he builds a powerful Pirate Ship, I am afraid that Marine will never be able to stop him again."

"Oh, I don't think Marines will let him easily make a Treasure Tree Adam ship. Maybe the army that encircled the island is already on the way."

Many people looked at Ross' ship from afar while discussing spiritedly.

Ross did not pay attention to the gazes around him. After pushing the branch into the water, he let the handyman on the ship untie the rope, pull up the anchor and slowly leave the port.

"Go to the Shipwright town."

On the east side of Kano Country, there is an island which is the famous Shipwright Town, one of the most famous places of West Blue where ships are built. This town doesn't have any Shipbuilders, only Shipbuilder apprentice.

He already has the most important Keel of the new ship, while the rest of the materials are available in the Shipwright town, and buying those materials with the remaining 90 million Berries will be more than enough.

On the deck.

Ross looked at the distant scenery and said: "When we have a new ship, we can finally step into the Grand Line."

"Grand Line…"

Robin stood by his side and there was a glimmer of light in her selike eyes. For her, the only thing her heart longed for is to find the Poneglyph steles hidden all over the world and to understand the secrets of the Void Century.

Poneglyph, from the information that she has secretly collected over the years, they are mostly in the Grand Line.

Grand Line also known as the pirate grave is naturally very dangerous. From time to time, there will be news that some of the strongest pirates of the sea were thoroughly defeated in the Grand Line, but that is a place that she must go to achieve her dream.

She silently glanced at the back of Ross.

She didn't know why but she has a feeling that if she continues to follow Ross, she will be able to achieve her dream.

As the ship traveled towards the Shipwright island, the Kano Country gradually became blurred in their field of vision and they gradually left the island far behind.

Just as the Kano Country's island gradually turned into a small black dot, from the direction of Kano Country, there was a blurry shadow of a ship following them.

Robin quickly discovered the ship that was quickly catching up to them.

"Captain Ross, we seem to have been targeted."

"Oh? Marines?"

"It seems to be the Happo Navy of the Kano Country."

Robin and Ross came to the stern and looked at the ship that was catching up to them. Robin's eyes flashed.

As the ship approached, its shape became clearer and clearer. Although it was huge, it was not a Marine's Battleship.

"Right."

Ross looked at the pirate flag of the ship and did not reveal any emotion on his face. He said calmly: "After all, it is the country of pirates. How could they let me take away the Treasure Tree Adam branch which is worth 200 million Berries so easily? "

Ross' ship was a light sailing ship but because of the heavy Treasure Tree Adam's branch, it greatly affected the ship speed. It was not long before it was caught up by Kano Country's Pirate Ship.

On the Pirate Ship of the Kano Country, there were a lot of pirates holding weapons.

Perhaps the other pirates were scared of the slaughter done by Ross and they would not dare to ask for any trouble but these pirates were different as their boss has been on the Grand Line!

For them, any West Blue's pirate is like a normal person without any powers.

"Sure enough, I can't run fast with a heavy piece of wood tied to my ship."

The younger brother Boo with three axes on his back and the Vice Leader of the Happo Navy, Sai was standing on the deck, as they grinned while looking at the distant Ghost Hand Pirate Ship.

The Vice Leader Sai took out a small long-handled blade(Bisento) and stood in front of Boo. His expression looked cold and serious.

Leader Don Chinjao is not here, so he is in charge of the ship.

Today is the 11th year of the Great Age of Pirates, Sai has not taken over the position of the Happo Navy and Boo is just an ordinary cadre but both have followed Leader Don Chinjao on the Grand Line.

"Reporting! The enemy ship has entered the firing range."

As the two ships got closer, a member of the Happo Navy came forward to report.

"Do not fire."

Sai shook his head and said: " We don't want to break the piece of wood, it's something worth 200 million Berries."

Boo yelled at his brother: "The Treasure Tree Adam branch should not be that easy to break… but forget it, they won't be able to run away even if we do not fire."

The distance between the two ships was getting closer.

The two sides do not need to use a telescope as they can see the people on both sides of the ship.

"On the bow of the ship is the 13th generation members of the Happo Navy, Sai, and Boo, but I did not find Leader Don Chinjao among them." Robin scouted as she reported to Ross.

Ross nodded.

Leader Don Chinjao who has the bounty of 500 million berries is not someone he can deal with now. If Don Chinjao is on the ship, he can only find a way to destroy the Happo Navy ship and flee.

If Don Chinjao is not here… Ross' eyes flashed with a cold light.

He looked at the ship of the Happo Navy in the distance and judged the distance between the two ships. His tone was calm while giving orders.

"Keep the distance, I will come back when I am done."

By the time Ross' voice echoed in Robin's ear, he had already arrived in the air, lifting his foot in the air and taking two steps. He crossed the sea directly and landed on the Happo Navy ship.

Under the astonished gazes of the pirates of the Happo Navy, Ross fell on their deck and landed smoothly.

"What."

"Geppō (Moonwalk)?"

Boo and Sai turned their heads and looked at Ross. They showed a little surprise on their faces. Following Don Chinjao to the Grand Line, their knowledge was not too light. They are still able to recognize Geppō (Moonwalk).

Geppō (Moonwalk) is a very difficult ability in Marine's Rokushiki. Even in Marine, only the Captains and above can use Geppō (Moonwalk), and Ross using Geppō (Moonwalk) left them a little surprised.

But.

Even if he can use Geppō (Moonwalk), it's too arrogant of him to come to their ship alone.

Although Ross is known in the West Blue as one of the most dangerous pirates, it is limited to West Blue and it is nothing to them who have been to the Grand Line.

"West Blue's most dangerous pirate, your courage is really not small. Let me see how much skill you have to back that courage."

Boo took down an axe from his back and indicated to the numerous ordinary pirates to draw back before he grinned and rushed towards Ross.

Sai originally planned to do it himself but he saw that Boo had already gone up and he didn't plan on stopping him. He folded his hands on his chest and stood in the same place.

However.

Just as Boo was about to reach Ross, Ross suddenly stepped on his feet and a strange force fell directly on the ship's board.

Kāchā! Kāchā!

The power of the Distortion Fruit was centered on the area where Ross put his foot before spreading rapidly in all directions and the entire ship strangely distorted in the middle.

"Damn it! This guy wants to break our ship!"

Boo was dumbfounded for a moment before he immediately become angry. He jumped up while roaring and charged towards Ross, the axe in his hand maliciously falling upon Ross.

Facing Boo's axe, Ross did not show any fear and his eyes were calm as he indifferently raised his left hand to directly greet the incoming axe.

Seeing Ross dares to block his axe with his bare hands, Boo snorted in his heart and relentlessly increased his strength intending to chop Ross's hand in two.

However.

When the axe touched Ross' hand, the imaginary scene of blood spilling and the arm being cut off did not appear. Instead, the entire axe got stuck in the air by a strange force.

Ross' spread out his fingers and he grasped the blade of the axe with one hand and the other hand turned over and twisted, the steel axe looked like a bamboo pole as it was being distorted into a spiral shape that continues to spread along the shaft of the axe.

"Not good!"

Boo was shocked and he did not hesitate to release his hand from the axe while his other hand clenched into a fist and he fiercely waved it down towards Ross.

This punch seems to be ordinary but when it was thrown, it was wrapped in a strange force as if it contains a force that is irresistible.

"It has appeared!"

"It's Eight Punches Hasshoken of Sir Boo!"

Many of the Happo Navy troops in the distance holding swords and guns in their hands looked shocked seeing this scene. As an ordinary member of the Happo Navy, they were not qualified to practice Hasshoken. Hasshoken is a fighting style that only the core members of the Happo Navy can train.

Not long ago, Boo used Hasshoken to kill a big pirate with a bounty of more than 40 million Berries!

Faced with Boo's Hasshoken, Ross' expression did not change. He threw away the distorted axe before his five fingers clenched into a fist which was wrapped with distortion power and then he welcomed the incoming fist.

Bang!

The moment when Ross and Boo's fists collided together, the vibration force and power of distortion produced a fierce sound and force with their fists being the center, just like a cannonball exploding in the air.

Happo Navy's cadres and Leaders practices Hasshoken punches which are essentially the manipulation of vibration force that can ignore the armor and other defenses. Ross' power of distortion can also distort steel and ignore other defenses.

However.

The Hasshoken is a practiced technique whereas the power of distortion is derived from the distortion effect of a Devil Fruit. Together with the various reinforcement of the Talent System, Ross' power of distortion is still far stronger than Boo's Hasshoken!

Bang!

The force of vibration and the force of distortion in the air was frozen for less than a second before the vibration force is forcibly defeated by Ross's force of distortion.

And the force of distortion continues towards Boo's fist all the way up, and with various cracking sounds, his arm was completely distorted.

"Ahhhh!"

Boo screamed, his eyes showing pain and horror. He didn't expect that his Hasshoken has not only failed to ignore Ross defense but instead, he was defeated by Ross' power!

Many members of the Happo Navy looked at this scene and they all revealed incredulous looks.

"How is it possible…….Sir Boo's Hasshoken was actually defeated in close combat? What did that guy do?"

"Boo!"

When Sai, who was holding a halberd in the distance saw this scene, his face changed. He thought that Boo might not be Ross' opponent, but he didn't expect Boo to lose this quickly. The two moves made by Ross decided the entire fight and also took one arm of Boo.

"Such vicious means."

Sai glanced at Boo's injury with traces of anger in his eyes, and then coldly looked at Ross before he walked towards him with his halberd.

"Don't."

Ross says in a plain tone: "It should be said that if you dare to rob me of something, you must be prepared to pay the price."

He stepped on his feet and the hull began to collapse again.

Sai muttered and ignored the destruction to the ship. Instead, he said with a blank face: "That's right, it's true that Boo's skills are inferior to yours and Strong preys on weak as it is the law of jungle and it is also the way of the world…

"However, to make my subordinates look like this, as the 13th generation head of the Happo Navy, no matter what the enemy must pay the price!"

At the moment when his voice fell, he fiercely jumped forward and the halberd in his hand swung towards Ross.

"That's right, everyone is prey to the strong."

Ross calmly said as he avoided the halberd by using Kami-e, while his fingers clenched into a fist and he punched towards Sai.

Sai snorted while holding the halberd with both hands and placing the halberd in front of him, blocking Ross' fist.

Bang!

Ross' fist fell, and the power of distortion suddenly broke out, but Sai roared and shook both of his arms holding the Halberd hard. He had resisted most of the force of distortion and the Halberd showed only a slight distortion on it.

"It's blocked! That weird attack!"

The People of the Happo Navy in the distance saw this scene with awe.

Compared with Boo, the older brother Sai is much stronger. Not long ago, he even defeated a big pirate with a bounty of 100 million berries on the Grand Line!

On the deck.

Perceiving a strange power on the Halberd that blocked his power of distortion, Ross slowly spits out a word with a glimmer in his eyes.

"Armament Haki… ."

"For a trivial pirate to recognize Haki in West Blue sea, you are really knowledgeable."

Sai smirked and fiercely revolved the halberd while tightly gripping it with both hands before chopping down towards Ross, again and again, launching storm like attacks.

"So what if you have Devil Fruit ability? It doesn't work in front of me!"

"Really?"

After a little surprise, Ross' expression returned to a calm look.

Armament Haki's ability can certainly withstand any Devil Fruit's ability, but Armament Haki is also divided into ranks. Sai in front of him can only surround himself with Haki and he can't do the hardening part. Wanting to ignore his Distortion Fruit abilities with only this level of skill is a big joke.

Between the devil's fruit and Haki, which is strong and which is weak has never reached a conclusion. The weak fruit ability cannot overcome Haki but a weak Haki cannot resist an extremely strong devil's fruit ability!

In the face of Sai's storm-like offensive, Ross did not use Kami-e (Paper Drawing) to dodge the attacks but he clenched his fingers into a fist, the power of distortion gathered on the fist.

"Distortion Impact!"

He hit Sai's halberd attacks in the sky with one punch and the force of distortion burst out, crushing every attack in an instant.

His punch hit the center of the halberd's blade.

Sai only felt that a powerful and strange force was fiercely rushing towards him along the blade. Even if he tried his best to push his Armament Haki to its limit, he still couldn't stop the blade from distorting and breaking!

Bang!

Eventually, the Halberd in his hand was completely shattered and his body flew upside down. The sleeves on his arms were turned into pieces and his fingers were slightly shaken as they suffered some damage.

"It turns out that this is your full strength? Then I really underestimated you." His face became a little gloomy and he tightly clenched his trembling fingers.

"In that case, I'll take this fight seriously now."

"Bujao….gen!"

Sai angrily roared as he fiercely rushed towards Ross. Instead of waving his fist, he leaped in the air, turning over one of his leg in mid-air, his heel surrounded by Armament Haki, brought along powerful force as it kicked down on Ross' head.

Without any fear, Ross used the power of distortion to its limit and without any reservation, rushed up towards Sai.

Bang!

The Power of distortion and The Armament Haki clashed with each other as a collision between feet and fist occurred and the air in surrounding started to crack similar to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) attack, and aftershocks spread out in all directions.

Originally under Ross' power of distortion, the ship was severely damaged. Taking the center of the deck as the center where the two of them fighting, cracks like spider webs spread out in all directions.
