The power of faith is not in place in one step, but as time passes, the fermentation of events continues to emerge.

On top of the war, Whitebeard pushed the era of pirates to the peak, and opened a new era with his own death.

At the same time, because of that war, the world for the first time deeply understood the meaning of the Four Emperors, and understood what terrifying power the Four Emperors represented.

As one of the Four Emperors on the same level as Whitebeard, BIGMOM was defeated by the Dragon Slayer Sword Hao, which naturally shook the world, and the speed of transmission was extremely fast.

Almost on the same day, it spread throughout the New World, and then spread to the first half of the Great Passage, and even the four seas where the news was relatively closed were shaken by this news.

And the counterpart to this.

In the next period of time, the power of faith came like a tide, and Rhodes used it all for physical evolution.

But.

From 4 out of 10 to 5 out of 10, the power of faith consumed was far more than Rhodes had imagined.

This retreat lasted much longer than the last one, and it took nearly 30 days to finally complete the evolution.

……

"It's finally done."

Rod slowly opened his eyes.

His pupils were pitch black, like the purest obsidian, and a silver glow flickered within them, slowly fading.

Rhodes stood up and looked at his hands.

With delicate skin like a baby and no pores to be seen, he has evolved to this point, which is quite different from ordinary humans.

"As I expected, five out of ten, half of the progress, and sure enough, there was a metamorphosis again."

Don't look at his thin skin and tender flesh now, but that layer of skin is harder than steel, and I am afraid that the bullet will hit it, and there will be no trace of it.

"This kind of physical defense, even if it is not as good as the Hundred Beast Kaido, and even less than the BIGMOM known as the steel balloon, is far stronger than the average human."

In terms of physical defense alone, except for a few monsters in this world, they are actually not strong.

For example, Karp was slashed by Colonel Monka, Redhead had his arm bitten off by the King of the Sea, and Whitebeard had suffered numerous gunshot wounds before his death.

For these people, if they don't use the weapon color and don't dodge, the average strong person is enough to cause damage.

The previous Rod was similar to Karp and others.

But as his physique evolved to the five-tenths stage, Rod's body metamorphosed again, and something changed.

His skin had become incomparably tough, enough to ignore the attacks of ordinary powerhouses!

That's right, ignore!

It's pretty scary!

It means that Rhodes stood there, even if he didn't move, let ordinary soldiers attack, they couldn't break the defense.

And in the same level battle, the strong defense will also give Rod a very high margin for error.

This point has always been the patent of BIGMOM and Beast Kaido before, and countless people envy it, and at this time Rod also initially has this ability.

"Words of Strength ......"

Rod slowly clenched his white fist, feeling the surging power in his body, as if he had a feeling that he could punch through the earth's crust with one punch.

Of course, this is an illusion brought about by the explosion of strength, but his physique has evolved to this point, and his strength has become incredibly strong, and it is absolutely no problem to knock over the Sea Kings with one punch.

Even BIGMOM, who is known for its monsters and is extremely large, is not far from Kaido, a beast.

"Even if a giant warship is here, I can tear it down empty-handed." Rod smiled.

At this time, even if he doesn't use the power of swordsmanship and thunder, with this body alone, he can crisscross the sea, like a pirate with a reward of four or five billion, and he can be blown up with one punch!

"How strong am I now?"

Rod slowly walked out of the secret room, looked at the sky with his hands down, only to see that the night was like water, and a faint loneliness could not help but rise in his heart.

He's only nineteen years old, and he's almost invincible.

"I don't know how powerful Whitebeard was at his peak......" Rod was a little distracted.

His comprehensive strength at this time has undoubtedly surpassed BIGMOM and Hundred Beasts Kaido, and he is nine out of ten when he fights.

As for Blackbeard, that's a younger brother.

And the redhead Shanks ...... It may be a little more difficult than the first three, but apart from the legendary overlord territory that needs attention, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Will Whitebeard be able to do this?

Rhodes didn't know, and he didn't know, but that didn't stop him from knowing how powerful he was.

"Have you become the strongest in the world? It's surprisingly easy. ”

Rod thought faintly, turned around, and walked towards the man-made hot spring.

After a month of retreat and no bathing, although my body was almost dust-free, it was still a little uncomfortable.

After a while, Rhodes was outside the hot springs.

"Lord Rhodes......"

Seeing Rhodes appear, the female manager of the hot spring house was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Hmm."

Rod smiled and nodded.

The female manager's face turned red suddenly, and she felt like she had been electrocuted.

Oh my God, Lord Rhodes is so handsome, too! And it's so gentle!

Her heart was like a fawn, and she endured the excitement in her heart, took out a bathrobe that had been prepared for a long time, and gently changed it for Rod.

"Luo, Lord Rod, you want to ...... Do you want to rub your back? ”

Her face was flushed, and her little hands were clenched tightly.

Rod glanced at her and found that her appearance was still quite high, and her figure was also very good, especially her temperament was very pure, and she had a feeling of being down-to-earth and generous, probably from a certain aristocratic family.

It stands to reason that with her status, she shouldn't be able to manage a hot spring, but considering Rhodes' existence, it can be understood.

In Dressrosa, Rhodes is the equivalent of an emperor-like existence, supreme, and no one wants to have a relationship with him.

Especially looks very handsome, which makes these girls even more excited.

Rhodes was actually a little distressed by this.

The women of Dressrosa have always been known for their warmth and openness.

Sometimes he walks on the street, and there are no guards nearby, and the beautiful girl is like a moth to a fire, constantly rushing, some unrestrained, even naked, dangling the white rabbit, profoundly showing the demeanor of a female hooligan.

"No, you don't."

After a moment's distraction, Rhodes refused the request, and could clearly feel the disappointment of the girl in front of him, but he didn't care, and walked towards the hot springs.

The hot and humid breath came to the face, the white mist was hazy, and it was impossible to see the scene inside the spring pool.

But Rhodes could clearly sense two familiar breaths and frolicked in the hot spring pool.

He restrained his breath and didn't speak, just quietly admired.

After a while, feeling that his newly evolved body was a little restless, Rhodes blinked and walked directly into the hot spring pool.

"Boom la la ......"

The sound of breaking the water alarmed the two people in the hot spring.

"Someone's coming?"

Wei Wei's face changed slightly, and she quickly pushed away Robin's hands, and scattered the other hands on her body.

"Someone unscrupulous is coming."

Robin pouted.

"How dare you say that I don't have discipline? Looks like you're going to have to get a good look at it. ”

Rod's voice came, and Vivi suddenly showed a look of surprise and shyness.

The surprise was that he didn't expect to meet Rhodes, and of course he was shy because he was still defenseless at this time.

She shrank into the pool, revealing only her small head, and then she saw a blushing and heart-pounding scene.

It's been a long night......
