One Piece Talent System Chapter 90-91

Killing a Shichibukai really has hidden rewards, which is equivalent to the first kill of Marine Vice-Admiral. This is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for Ross. Counting the rewards from killing Iron Wall Pirates, he now has 180 Talent Proficiency Points and 4 Free Talent Points.

It can also be deduced from Shichibukai's existence of hidden rewards that the hunting rewards given by Talent System are not based solely on the suspended bounty of the World Government.

However, in most cases, suspended bounty corresponds to the level of strength.

Now that he thinks about it, Iron Wall Ravarro, who had a bounty of 180 million berries has a strength that was comparable to a Shichibukai but he failed to give him any additional reward after the hunt…

Well, people should be content and happy.

"Captain Ross, even a Shichibukai has been killed, so Shichibukai's position is vacant…"

Laffitte came up from a distance and looked at Crocodile's body lying in the Yellow sand, tilting his head and showing a thoughtful look. "Speaking of it, Captain is absolutely qualified to serve as Shichibukai with your strength, but the government is mostly ready to kill us."

"So Shichibukai's position doesn't need to be considered."

Ross nodded, without the previous newspaper, he was likely to receive an invitation by the World Government's Shihibukai agreement after he has eliminated Crocodile.

Now, whether the government or Marine's senior officials, they are eager to kill him. Unless he has something that both the government and Marine are afraid of, Shichibukai's position is completely untenable.

However.

Even the failure to serve as a Shichibukai did not affect Ross's next plan of action.

"The next thing to do is to take shelter from the limelight. I have already thought of a good place for us to go." Ross showed a deep gaze that seemed to hold everything.

"Has it been considered so soon? Captain is reassuring." Laffitte smiled which just shows a little respect.

"Come on, let's get out of here."

Ross did not go to see Crocodile's body and walked away and Laffitte quickly followed.

After destroying one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, plus the previous events, in Ross's vision, he will encounter the following situations: one is the assassination by CP from the government's intelligence agency and the other is in the form of encirclement and suppression by at least two Vice-Admirals from Marine Headquarter.

Finally and worst of all, A Marine Admiral.

Even if he has 180 Talent Proficiency Points and 4 Free Talent Points and his strength can be greatly improved. It is impossible for him to cross the huge power gap between Marine Admiral and escape once he encounters him.

In the first case.

The whole crew must be on high alert at all times. No matter which CP unit is, their strength will not be weak. If they ambush and assassinate their crew, the situation will be very dangerous. He may be able to deal with it but Robin's situation will become very dangerous unless she stays with him all the time.

As for the second case… It's not going to be good either.

With this harvest, Ross's strength will surely surpass those of Doberman's Headquarters Vice-Admiral. But when two Vice-Admiral and even three Vice-Admiral join forces, strength is not as simple as one plus one equals two. Laffitte and Robin are not strong enough to fight against Headquarters Vice-Admiral.

Although relying on Talent System all the way to come here, all the enemies encountered were defeated by him, but Ross never regarded himself as Strawhat Luffy. Luffy could overcome any dangerous situation, including Kizaru's attack, Aokiji's attack and he survived Garp's crazy training and came out even stronger.

For Ross.

Despite the smooth journey so far, as long as he encounters a real dangerous situation, maybe he will never be saved because no one will save him, He can only depend upon himself.

So from the beginning to the present, before every action, he tried to take everything that would happen into account in advance.

The news of Crocodile's defeat at Ghost Hand Ross's hand quickly passed back to the Marine Headquarters and the World Government and was also uncontrolled as the news spread to the entire sea.

For a time, countless people moved!

Every Seven Warlords of the Sea is a well-known strong man on Grand Line. People may not be able to name Vice-Admirals but a Seven Warlords of the Sea, even the Four Emperors of New World, will pay some attention to them!

Many of the top powers judged that Ross would be pursued by the government and Marine crazily when the previous news spread across the sea, he will be silent for a long time or may even die.

Unexpectedly.

Just over half a month later, Ross reappeared and defeated one of the Supernovas offering a $180 million berries bounty in the first half of Grand Line and a Seven Warlords of the Sea!

The rising trend seems to be true as the news said… Unstoppable!

At the same time.

The government and Marine also issued an order urgently and all eyes were gathered at Alcaria.

The whole sea was in turmoil and Ross who was in the center of that turmoil was standing alone on the edge of a cliff in Alcaria island, looking at the boundless sea.

In the two Battles with Crocodile and Iron Wall Ravarro, he was not seriously injured. He was only chopped by Crocodile sand blade on his shoulders and the scars were not deep. He was slightly bandaged and Almost had recovered in three days.

If he had a ship doctor, he might recover faster.

Sii!

Ross touched the bandage on his shoulder and gently pulled it off, revealing the dark brown scab inside. He stretched out his hand and the scab slowly fell off, revealing the tender skin inside.

"It seems that there will still be a little scar left. I should really recruit a doctor for the ship."

As one Piece World's most decisive and handsome existence in his own view, a scar on his body is something Ross can't tolerate.

Putting aside the messy ideas, Ross stretched his arm and felt that there was no problem at all. Then he moved his mind and evoked Talent System's Interface.

"Finally…Gravity Distortion."

Ross took a deep breath and made a decision. He immediately placed 3 Free Talent Points into the second branch of Distortion Fruit, Gravity Distortion.

Buzz!!

A golden light flashed and the branch of Gravity Distortion was instantly activated, turning from emerald green to golden yellow and at the same time, a warm current instantly rushed out of Ross' body.

This warmth did not enhance Ross's body, nor did it enhance the power of Distortion Fruit, but it gave Ross a very strange feeling.

The world that was originally in front of him had only the sky and the sea, the air and the earth, but at this moment, he seemed to 'see' something different.

Whoosh!

This strange feeling lasted only a few seconds, then completely disappeared, but Ross's perception has become completely different, he can clearly perceive the existence of gravity and can use the power of distortions to directly interfere with it!

Ross's mind moved, triggering the power of distortion, turning his body's direction of gravity from downward distribution to upward and his body immediately flew towards the sky.

The first time he used Gravity Distortion, Ross seemed to be somewhat uncomfortable. As soon as he flew into the sky, he made an Armstrong 720-degree spiral motion in the air, just like a headless fly.

Bang!

Ross dissipated the power of distortion, lifted his foot and cast Geppō (Moonwalk), which barely stabilized his body, but he was still a little dizzy.

On the deck of Ghost Shadow Ship, anchored at sea, Robin was looking strangely at Ross in the sky tens of meters away, just in line with Ross, who was holding his body.

"Hmm…"

Ross was silent for a moment and asked earnestly, "Robin, Do you see God?"

Robin silently regained her gaze and did not pay any attention to her own Captain that has clearly gone mad.

When Ross thought that this world did not have some kind of insecticidal and mosquito-repellent liquid, he stopped and did not continue to think in depth, but continued to try Gravity Distribution, his new ability.

After a few minutes.

Ross is suspended over Ghost Shadow Ship, flying from left to right and from right to left.

Robin, who sat on the Ghost Shadow Ship, remained expressionless all the time.  If she can, she would like to exert her ability to pull her Captain from the sky, but the consequences of doing so are probably beyond her ability, so she can only think about it.

A few minutes later.

With the power of Gravity Distortion, Ross has taken full control of the flight capabilities and has begun experimenting with the ability to combine this flight with Geppō (Moonwalk).

Geppō (Moonwalk) is a means of walking in the air and it has to bear the limit of gravity at all times, but if there is no gravity, the speed of the Geppō (Moonwalk) will be a lot faster and if the direction of gravity can be changed as desired, In line with the movement direction of Geppō (Moonwalk), the speed can become even faster!

Simply relying on Geppō (Moonwalk) will become frustrating if he is to face an airborne battle with Doflamingo or Kizaru and he will be at a great disadvantage, but if he has the ability to fly with Gravity Distortion, the situation will be completely different.

Whiz! Whiz!

It is difficult to combine gravity with Geppō (Moonwalk) in terms of movement. After all, Ross has just got the Gravity Distortion ability, but Ross's constant practicing has led his aerial walking to become more and more skilled.

With Gravity Distribution, Ross's Moonwalk can be said to have become an upgraded version. Even if he didn't invest much proficiency in the Moonwalk, his instantaneous speed in the air would not be much slower than those of Headquarters Vice-Admiral, who are proficient in Marine's Rokushiki.

"Hu…Hu…"

After exercising for about half an hour, Ross's Stamina finally couldn't support it. The Gravity Distortion itself was not very expensive for Stamina, but Geppō (Moonwalk) was a real stamina consumer. Under double consumption, his body still couldn't bear it.

Controlling gravity, Ross slowly landed on the Ghost Shadow Ship deck.

Robin took the book in one hand and silently picked up the juice on the table with the other hand and put it to her mouth without drinking or putting it down.

Ross calmed down and looked contemptuous at Robin. What does this action mean? Being a Pirates Captain, can't he grab his crew members glass of juice?

After a short break, Ross jumped to the cliff on the shore again. Instead of rushing to exercise, he called out Talent System's Interface again.

Without hesitation, he put 90 Talent Proficiency Points on Physical Enhancement.

Buzz!!

The golden light flashed and the General's talent value changed rapidly.

Agility Enhancement: 150 (High-Level Strengthening)

Physical Enhancement: 350 (Top Level Strengthening)

Physical Enhancement's Maximum Value is 500 points and today it has reached 350 points, which is very close to Maximum Value.

Since Physical Enhancement is a passive percentage-increasing talent, it is not a fixed numerical increase. Therefore, Maximum Value means that Physical Enhancement is at the apex and can no longer continue to improve. On the other hand, it will mean that Ross' passive talent bonus has reached a terrifying level.

Maybe his own basic physical fitness just needs to be exercised to the level of Headquarters Vice-Admiral. With the great improvement of Physical Enhancement Maximum Value, he can directly reach the level close to Garp!

The remaining 90 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross put them all in Distortion Fruit.

Buzz!!

The 90 additional Talent Proficiency Points of Distortion Fruit has made Ross's power of distortion boost from 100 meters to more than 200 meters.

This level of power of distortion is far from the power of Whitebeard and Marine Admiral, which can easily shake a large island, but in this sea, it is a level that countless people can hardly reach in their lifetime!

Firearms Shooting: 50

Close-Combat Fighting: 100

Distortion Fruit: 390

Soru of Marine's Rokushiki: 0

Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marine's Rokushiki: 0

Marine's Rokushiki's Geppō (Moonwalk):0

Observation Haki: 15

Armament Haki: 0

Looking at the brand new Battle skill tree, Ross blinked and muttered:

"If only I could take back the talent point used for Firearms Shooting, I don't know if there will be any chance to take back the talent point in the future."

When he first came to this world, he couldn't fight the guns with his strength. The guns were indeed something that must be mastered, but now it has almost no effect, Close-Combat Fighting is the ability that still plays a very important role even now.

One is a loss but the combination of two is not a loss.

After shaking his head, Ross's mind moved and the Talent System Interface disappeared. He shook his fist and felt the strength in his body, then suddenly lifted his foot and stepped on it.

Bang Rumble!

He applied Gravity Distribution to the 100-meter-square cliff wall, which instantly showed signs of widespread collapse.

The stones broke apart and floated up. Although they had no direct contact with Ross's body during the suspension process, the gravity of Distortion was not restored. Instead, they were still in the state of Distortion and under Ross'control.

"Sure enough, the power will not disappear directly, but will gradually weaken."

Ross's eyes flashed as he smiled.

Previously, his power of distortion had to be transmitted through the medium of matter. Once there was a break between the substances, his power of distortions would be cut off instantly.

Just like holding a knife. If the blade suddenly breaks, his power of distortions will be instantly cut off and can no longer act on the broken part of the blade, unless he touches it again with his body.

But now.

After the Gravity Distortion is activated, even if the medium of transmission disappears, his power of distortion will not be interrupted by the moment, but will still act on that part of the material!

That is to say, even if the blade suddenly breaks, as long as the knife is used by his power of distortion, it is still under his control!

Although the power of this partition will slowly diminishing over time, it is enough for Ross.

There was an irrepressible excitement on his face, and he raised his hands and slammed them in front of him.

Bang Long!

The square of rock that was nearly a hundred meters long was completely ruptured and suspended in a place. Under the influence of Ross's ability, it slammed toward the center and turned into a huge meteorite with a radius of tens of meters. Suspended in the air, it looked like a perfect work of art.
