Somewhere in the shadowy underground.

The sound of gurgling water resounded in the damp underground, and here is an underground river deep in the island, which is said to be an underground river, but it is actually connected to the sea.

In the middle of this underground river, a boat is parked there, filled with ancient breath and covered with moss, as if it has passed hundreds of thousands of years.

Ancient Weapon - Hades.

"Is this the legendary ancient weapon, the product of the Empire......" Robin came to the side of the Immortal King, reaching out and stroking the moss on it.

She was not interested in the power of Hades, but Hades was an ancient weapon that transcended the ages, a part of the history of that era, and the study of that part of history had long been her goal in life.

"I've heard that a single cannon can flatten an island, and that's not a small power."

Rhodes looked up at the entire Hades ship.

Like Whitebeard, or himself, now has the strength to easily destroy an island, and it is not difficult to sink an island into the sea if no one stops it.

But it would be very difficult to completely flatten a large island with one blow, and Rhodes has not tried it, and he is not going to use a large island for boxing.

It can be listed as an ancient weapon alongside the Neptune White Star, who controls the sea king, and the power of the Hades ship is also unquestionable, and few people can stop it when it comes to the naval headquarters.

"You said you should shoot at the Holy Land when you go back."

Rhodes smiled at Robin.

Robin didn't look back and said, "That is to force the world government to fight to the death with us, are you ready?" ”

Robin knew that Rhodes' goal was not to be a Four Emperors or a One Piece, but to destroy all the pirates and then overthrow the world government.

"Well, it's not ready."

Rhodes walked up to Robin, put his hands around her waist, put his arms around her from behind, leaned his body together, and said, "But I'm ready to shoot you." ”

“……”

Robin conjured a bunch of arms and ripped Rhodes apart, continuing to study the centuries-old history of Hades.

The ship of Hades is not an ordinary sailing ship, but it is a little difficult to pilot, Rhodes and Robin boarded Hades and studied it carefully before they understood part of it.

But.

It doesn't matter if you can drive it or not, and Rhodes doesn't plan to drive Hades to swagger through the market, of course, it is more stable to fly back to the world with the entire Hades ship with twisted gravity.

"Let's go, go back and study it again."

Rhodes got dressed, and seeing that Robin was going to continue studying Hades, he said a word at her, walked to the stern of Hades' ship, and struck the current with a twisted force.

Crash!

The Hades ship, which had been stationary for hundreds of years, finally moved again, though not by its own power.

Rhodes manipulates the currents of the sea, propelling the Immortal ship through the underground river.

The further forward the water level became, eventually filling the entire underground cavern, Rhodes directly propped up the sea with twisted walls and rushed into the dark current.

In this way, he walked forward for hundreds of meters, and finally broke out of the cave, appeared at the bottom of the sea dozens of meters, and then quickly floated up.

With the rolling of the waves.

The ancient weapon Hades, which has been silent for hundreds of years, has finally seen the light of day!

"Up!"

Rhodes took a deep breath and exerted a twisted gravity force that acted on the entire Hades ship, slowly lifting the entire ship into the air, and then quickly rising up, and finally disappearing into the sky.

……

World government.

Ponger Castle, between powers.

The five old stars had learned of Rhodes' appearance in Alabastan, and they gathered in the power room, discussing each other with solemn faces.

"Alabastan...... Why did the ghost hand go there. ”

"The Nephilutali family is the only descendant of the first twenty people left in the Nether......"

"In other words, a traitor."

"Could it be that Ghost Hand and the Nafirutari family are secretly in collusion? After all, that family was once a descendant of the king, did they know something? ”

The faces of the five old stars were a little cold and solemn.

The Naferutari family didn't care, although they were the descendants of the king, they chose to stay in the nether realm, and they didn't have the identity and power of the Celestial Dragons.

But if the people of this family know some secrets and collude with the Ghost Hand Pirates, it will not be a trivial matter.

In fact.

The current Ghost Hand Pirates made the five old stars a little restless.

If the Ghost Hand Pirates were to take action against the redheads and the beast Kaido, snatch the historical text of the road signs, and put on a posture to conquer the great voyage and set foot on Ralph Dru to become the new One Piece, they would not be as vigilant as they are now.

One Piece or something, it is not unheard of in history, and it will not affect the operation of the world government, but will attract countless challengers to challenge it.

The world government, on the contrary, could welcome this outcome.

But.

Rhodes has no intention of becoming the king of the pirates, but continues to develop steadily, especially the internal governance and external expansion of the kingdoms, which makes the five old stars faintly uneasy.

They always felt that the purpose of Rhodes would not be as simple as simply governing all countries and being an 'emperor' who ruled the sea.

"That's right."

"Alabastan may have a clue to the ancient weapon Hades."

A fifth old star thought of something, and suddenly spoke with a solemn face.

When the other four people heard this, their faces changed.

In addition to Rhodes, there is also Nico Robin who appears in Alabastan, and Nico Robin is the only survivor of O'Hara, the only one who can decipher the original text of history!

This combination suddenly made the five old stars feel bad.

"It's not good."

"If his purpose was an ancient weapon, he might have succeeded by now!"

"Ghost hands master ancient weapons...... Trouble ......"

Several of the five old stars all showed solemn and headache expressions.

Originally, the Ghost Hand Pirates were already their biggest headache, but now if they had ancient weapons, it would be like a tiger with wings.

Judging from this situation, the Navy Headquarters will take a posture and fight with the Ghost Hand Pirates, even if it can win, I am afraid it will be a miserable victory, and the casualties will be extremely heavy!

"Ancient weapons cannot fall into his hands."

A fifth old star spoke in a deep voice.

But the others were silent, they definitely didn't want to see the ancient weapon fall into the hands of Rhodes, but how to stop it was a big problem.

It's impossible to send the entire Navy Headquarters to the New World to fight the Ghost Hand Pirates.

"There is no way to stop this, what we can do is to get the design blueprints of Hades as soon as possible, so that the people of CP9 can speed up their movements."

The sword-wielding Five Old Stars said in a deep voice: "With the design drawings, Vegapunk is able to replicate the ancient weapon Hades!" ”

"That's all it can be."

A few people next to him nodded or sighed.
