Alcaria.
Inside a luxurious building, in a room on the top floor, Crocodile was sitting on the sofa, holding a cigar and watching the Den Den Mushi, which he had just hung up and he smirked and snorted.
“Ghost Hand Pirates… They are really taking me for a casual squad. I don't have time to deal with your troubles for you.”
He is not interested in the Ghost Hand Pirates. As for the Ghost Pirates, who seems to be hunting other pirates, he did not care much either.
He had been to the New World and he returned, he even challenged Whitebeard. Although he lost miserably, a pirate with a bounty of 200 million berries is undoubtedly not in his eyes.
Just as Crocodile put the Den Den Mushi back in his pocket, a knock on the door was heard and a man with his chin covered came in.
The man with his jaw covered came in the front of Crocodile with a respectful look and whispered: “Mr. Crocodile, Iron Wall Pirates appeared in Elfa Port ten days ago, they seem to be coming here on their own. "
“Huh? After looking for them for more than a month, I didn't expect them to come here on their own.
Crocodile indifferent eyes flashed with a ray of light, he was more concerned about the Iron Wall Pirates than about Ghost Hands Pirates, because Iron Wall Pirates had what he needed.
Previous efforts to deal with the Iron Wall Pirates were also aimed at robbing him of what he needed. As a result, he was escaped by his opponent.
“Keep an eye on the Iron Wall Pirates and report to me as soon as they appear.”
……
Elfa Port.
Whether it is Ross, Robin, or Laffitte, they are very good at acquiring information. In a single day, they collected all the information that Ross needed.
The Iron Wall Pirates with a bounty of 180 million Berries left Elfa Port ten days ago. Although their exact route is unknown, Robin has got an important intelligence, Apparently, the Iron Wall Pirates fought Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The two sides had once fought in a certain place in the sea and Iron Wall Pirates were defeated but the Captain and important cadres escaped.
And.
After appearing in Elfa Port, the Iron Wall Pirates inquired about Crocodile in the Underground world.
“That is to say the purpose of Iron Wall Pirates is probably to go and fight Crocodile.” Ross listened to Robin's intelligence and his eyes flashed with a whisper of a thought.
Crocodile has only recently become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea with a bounty of only 81 million Berries, but his strength can not be measured by this bounty, he is a Logia Devil Fruit user, even with obvious weaknesses, he can run rampant in the first half of the Grand Line without Haki.
But.
Compared to the time when Luffy went out to sea, Crocodile is much younger. Even the Baroque work agency has not yet been formed and he has not gone to Alabasta. His reputation is not high even though many pirates with the bounty up to 170 million Berries has suffered in his hands.
But after ten years, the Barrier-Barrier Fruit will be eaten by someone else, so the Iron Wall Pirates were probably completely destroyed by Crocodile.
“My prey can't be taken away by others, even if that someone is a Shichibukai.”
Ross's eyes flashed, although it seems that it will cause him some trouble with Crocodile, he can't let go of the first killing reward of the pirate with over 100 million rewards.
By killing Iron Wall Pirates, he will get 1 Free Talent Point and the Gravity Distortion branch can be activated.
After a little thought, Ross calmly said: “Since this Iron Wall Pirates are going to find Crocodile, then we just have to find the location of Crocodile, Robin did you collect the intelligence on Crocodile?”
"Crocodile has stayed in Alcaria for the last month."
Robin nodded, consistently capable and reassuring, She is left arm of Ross.
After reporting the information on Crocodile, Robin's eyes flashed with thought and she said to Ross:
“Shichibukai is a pirate that can plunder and loot with the government permission. When we go towards Crocodile, the government will probably take this opportunity to deal with us.”
“There is such a possibility, but Crocodile is not a person who will listen to the World Government. It is unlikely that he will cooperate with the Marines. Even if he really comes after us… then let's let him.”
Ross's gaze is flat.
Even if he was the original 10-year-later Crocodile, Ross was not afraid of him, not to mention that he has just become a Shichibukai. If he comes after him, he would just deal with him. Although the bounty of 81 million Berries is a bit low, Shichibukai may have a special bonus.
“Captain.”
While Ross and Robin were talking, Laffitte also returned with the Intelligence, carrying an umbrellhandle-shaped mahogany cane in one hand and courteous said: “The information you need has been collected, the Iron Wall Pirates is on their way to Alcaria. They should not have reached there yet.”
Ross turned to look at Laffitte and said: “It is aligned with the information Robin and I collected but you seem to have collected more accurate intelligence.”
“I am very honored.”
Laffitte's smile and flickered his wrist and took out an Eternal Pose and said: “Iron Wall Pirates bought an Eternal Pose to Alcaria in the Underground world and I also got one.”
“Good job.”
Ross looked at the Eternal Pose in Laffitte's hands and nodded. With an Eternal Pose, he could reach Alcaria without having to go through the islands one by one, or even wait for the magnetic field to be fully stored in Elfa Port.
After basically determining the route of Iron Wall Pirates, Ross and Laffitte returned to the ship and hung up full sails and headed for Alcaria at full speed with the fastest Ghost Shadow Ship.
Ordinary cargo ships will take at least fifteen days to reach there but the Ghost Shadow Ship reached their destination in six and a half days.
“Finally reached.”
Standing in front of the deck of the Ghost Shadow Ship and looking at the large island in the distance, Ross took a deep breath. He didn't want Iron Wall Pirates to be robbed of their heads by Crocodile.
If that's the case, he might have to take Crocodile head to vent his anger.
Buzz!!
Looking at Alcaria, Ross stood on the deck and suddenly raised his right hand and shook the empty space below.
Under Ross's control, the power of distortion quickly spread into the sea, stirring a wave and directly carrying the Ghost Shadow Ship to the direction of Alcaria.
Ross now has the ability to make waves and accelerate the ship without damaging the hull, but the stamina cost is not small, so he rarely does it.
Crash!
The Ghost Shadow Ship, which was extremely fast, left a white line on the sea and It took only two minutes to cross the 10-minute journey.
As soon as he arrived on the shore, Ross converges and Laffitte and Robin quickly decelerate the Ghost Shadow Ship and it was finally docked on the shore of Alcaria.
“I hope it's not too late.”
“If my prey is robbed, then pray, Crocodile…”
Ross jumped and set foot on the island, his eyes were calm and indifferent.
Alcaria island.
This is a large island, where the Kingdom of Alcaria sits. This country is not a country of pirates, but one of the 170 subordinates allies affiliated with World Government.
On a street, on the roof of a building, Ross and Laffitte stood looking at a group of people at the end of the street.
There is no doubt that it was Iron Wall Pirates that Ross was eyeing.
Ross asked Robin to stay with the ship and boarded the island with Laffitte, looking for the Iron Wall Pirates and the Iron Wall Pirates were also searching for Crocodile. In this search, Ross and Laffitte quickly discovered the Iron Wall Pirates and also found their large force.
"Hanging bounty of 180 million Berries, Iron Wall Ravarro and hanging bounty 70 million Berries wrestler Hanu, their main members are here."
Laffitte turned to look at Ross.
Do you want to go? Captain?"
"Naturally."
Ross stood on the edge of the roof, looking at the Iron Wall Pirates members gathering not far from the street below as if watching a group of monsters who provide experience.
Whiz!
The next moment, Ross jumped from the roof and landed on the street, straight in the direction of the Iron Wall Pirates.
The people of Iron Wall Pirates were heading in the direction of Ross. Many people in the street recognized the Iron Wall Pirates and hid from them in fear.
"That is… Iron Wall Pirates!"
"Hey, is that Iron Wall Pirates that destroyed thirteen towns? It's said that their total bounty is more than 300 million berries. Why did they come here?
The Captain of Iron Wall Pirates is a Supernova with a bounty of 180 million Berries. The total bounty of these pirate force is 300 million berries, which undoubtedly means that they have a very prestigious reputation in the first half of the Grand Line.
However.
As Ross leaped from the roof and headed in the direction of Iron Wall Pirates, countless breathing sounds soon came around.
"No, that man looks a bit like…"
"Yes… it's Ghost Hand Ross!"
Although many of the people present had not read the newspaper about Ross, they had more or less heard about it, but even so, a big pirate with a bounty of 200 million Berries appeared in the street, everyone still panicked and retreated.
"I heard that he has never looted civilians?"
"Who knows this kind of thing… But there seems to be some movement there, it seems to be Iron Wall Pirates!" Someone turned to look at the other side of the street and his pupils shrank violently and there was a shudder in his heart.
Iron Wall Pirates!
Although there was no such thing as Pirates in the limelight, the slaughtering of 13 towns was still astounding and horrifying and more importantly, the Iron Wall Pirates and the Ghost Hand Ross appeared on the same street.
Coincidence?
No, if you remember correctly, the Ghost Hand Pirates… seems to hunt other Pirates!
Someone thought of this and couldn't help but stagnate as a terrifying and horrible thought appeared in his heart. Would the Ghost-Hand Pirates collide with the Iron Wall Pirates here?!
With countless stares of shock, nervousness, or fear, the crowd disappeared in the street between Ross and Iron Wall Pirates.
The Iron Wall Pirates saw Ross and stopped one by one.
"Ghost hand…Ross."
Standing there, Captain Ravarro of Iron Wall Pirates, looked at Ross across the street, squinting slightly and said, "After causing such big movement, you still dare to show up so casually?"
"No, it's not a casual appearance, but a show for you. Hanging bounty of 180 million Berries, Iron Wall Ravarro, I heard… you are strong."
Ross took two more steps forward, stopping only ten meters away from the Iron Wall Pirates.
Ravarro's slightly raised his mouth and said to Ross. "You've beaten up an entire Marine branch and your strength is good, but it's not wise to block my way. I'm looking for someone to settle accounts and I don't have time to play with you."
"Really?"
Ross gently lifted his foot and said: "I really want to play a game with you… Only one person can survive the game."
Bang!
Ross's raised foot slammed down and the earth in front of him slammed into a Distortion, showing a wave of terrifying ripples, rolling toward the mighty crowd of Iron Wall Pirates.
"It seems that you are tired of living."
Ravarro's face turned cold in an instant, he is famous for exacting vengeance. Otherwise, he would not put together a large force and came here to fight Crocodile.
Anyone who dares to provoke him has been sent to hell by him!
"Protection… barrier!"
His forefinger and middle finger were curved and folded together, a transparent glass barrier appeared in the middle of the street, inserting into the Underground fiercely.
Bang!
The Power of distortion surged along with the earth and hit the barrier, letting the glassy barrier suddenly show a strange Distortion and depression.
For the first time, Ravarro met a person who could shake his barrier and his eyes flashed, but he didn't panic and raised his hand and pushed forward.
"Barrier Impact!"
The barrier that was Distorted and bent like rubber bounced back into the original shape and a repulsive force bursts into the front colliding with the power of distortion released by Ross.
Bang Long!
Suddenly, the earth in front of the barrier cracked and spread to both sides. Instantly, a deep ravine about 10 meters wide was split and the ground in front of Ross was all fragmented, It was similar to the aftermath of a magnitude 10 earthquake.
The buildings on both sides of the street were completely smashed in the aftermath of the attack and the countless people were shocked.
"This… Is it still human?!"
Without even moving, they destroyed a large street and two buildings. This scene falls in the eyes of many people. They were undoubtedly amazed by them and they were shocked.
Can't it be destroyed?
Ross looked at the barrier that was deformed by the power of distortion but it suddenly bounced back to its original shape. His eyes were calm and he did not show any surprise.
Devil Fruit's ability, in many cases, is also restrained. For example, the Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit can almost crush the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, making the barrier completely obsolete, but if a Zoan fruit faces the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, it can't do anything. A single punch that can destroy a town, will not be able to break this small barrier.
And his Distortion Fruit works against the Barrier-Barrier Fruit. Although it can't destroy the barrier, it can deform the barrier like rubber.
"It really scared me. You are the first person who can shake my barrier…"
"But, that's it!"
Ravarro looked at Ross indifferently and his eyes flashed with ferocity as his hands raised and he waved violently.
"Barrier Impact!"
Whoosh!
The two-sided barrier appeared silently in the position where Ravarro's hands were closed in the middle, sandwiching Ross in the middle and squeezing toward the center at a very fast speed, intending to squeeze Ross into a meat paste.
