Chapter 15: Distorting the Light

Rhodes didn't rush to summon the talent system, but turned his head to look behind him, suppressed by Robin, or the remaining pirates who had lost their fighting spirit and trembled.

"There are thirteen people left."

Robin stood next to Rhodes and reported to Rhodes.

Many pirates saw Rhodes kill the one-eyed Flo, and even those who had some strength among them showed expressions of horror and fear.

"Don't ...... Don't kill me, Captain Rhodes, I'm willing to surrender to you. ”

"Me too, me too!"

Quite a few pirates even threw away their weapons on their own initiative.

Rhodes looked at the remaining thirteen pirates, shook his head indifferently and said, "The number is a bit too much, I don't need so many subordinates." ”

Looking at the pirates who were showing fear, Rhodes paused slightly and said calmly, "There are thirteen of you now, and I only need five. ”

Hearing Rhodes's words, the remaining thirteen pirates all breathless.

Only five people are needed, so the meaning of Rhodes is obvious, that is, only five people can live among them, and the remaining eight people will die.

"You want us to kill each other......"

Someone gritted his teeth and spoke, but before he could finish speaking, a sword blade suddenly pierced out of his chest, accompanied by blood splattering.

The many pirates present are not the kind of partners of the Straw Hat Pirates, all of them are cruel and fierce existences, and there are also smart people among them, they obviously cannot fight against Rhodes, and the only way to survive is to obey.

Bang! Bang!

Someone took the lead, and the remaining pirates immediately roared and fought each other, and after a lot of cannibalism, soon only five people were left.

Although these five people stopped fighting, they were still very wary of each other, and if Rhodes changed his words and said that there were only three people, the one who relaxed his vigilance would die first.

Rhodes' gaze glanced indifferently at the five people, and then turned to Robin next to him and said:

"Robin, I'll take care of the rest."

"Yes, Captain."

Robin nodded, commanding the remaining five pirates, sweeping up the ship's corpses and bloodstains, while Rhodes arrived on deck alone.

The thought moved.

The three big trees of the talent system were summoned out by him, and Rhodes directly clicked on the talent of the combat system and found the huge branch of the twisted fruit.

Twisted Fruit: 75

There was only 25 points of talent proficiency left before the first branch ability distorted the light, and Rhodes directly clicked on the 25 points of proficiency as soon as his mind moved.

An emerald green light flashed, and the proficiency of the Twisted Fruit reached 100, and the branch ability of Distorted Light also changed from gray to activating green.

Activating the warp ray, sure enough, requires 1 free talent point.

"Activate."

Rhodes used the 1 free talent point he had just earned directly on top of the branching ability of Warping Light.

In an instant, a strange force poured into Rhodes' body, fusing with the power of the distorted fruit in Rhodes' body.

"Sure enough, there were some different changes."

Rhodes muttered as he felt the change in his body, it was difficult for him to describe the feeling in words, but there was no doubt that the ability to twist the fruit was further developed.

He reached out and shook it in front of his eyes.

That ordinary palm shook out of thin air a phantom, and even under Rhodes's deliberate manipulation, it could make this phantom freeze and not move, as if it had conjured many hands at once.

Robin, who was standing below directing many pirates to clean the deck, couldn't help but be stunned when he caught a glimpse of Rhodes' changes.

When did Rhodes steal her Flower Fruit abilities?

Rhodes stood there, waving his arms constantly, creating one afterimage after another, familiar with his newfound power.

"It's just a phantom......"

Using the ability to distort light, the arms and the like that are made are all phantoms, and they don't have any real attack power, but they are extremely deceptive.

Imagine that in the middle of a battle, you suddenly throw countless fists, all of them look the same, even if only one of them is real, it is undoubtedly very difficult to resist.

Other words.

Opponents who play against Rhodes will be greatly distracted by their vision, and unless they can judge Rhodes' position based on sound and other perceptions alone, they will be greatly limited.

For people who have not mastered the domineering ability of seeing and hearing colors, and have not mastered the ability of paper painting, vision is almost the most important means of perception for them, and in the case of visual interference, the strength will be seriously reduced.

If the current Rhodes encounters a figure of the level of Admiral Mobi again, even if he fights three or five at the same time, it is enough to deal with it easily.

"The range of effect of the Distorted Fruit ability has also been increased."

After getting acquainted with his newly acquired abilities, Rhodes sensed the twisting power he could muster, which was undoubtedly stronger than before.

If before, the scope of action of the distorted force was a sphere with a radius of two meters centered on himself, then now he has reached a sphere with a radius of nearly five meters by the distortion force!

This level of distortion power is already enough to deal with the level of slash of Moby and One-Eyed Flo, which means that Rhodes does not need to dodge that kind of slash again, and can completely rely on the power of distortion to shake it head-on.

Even.

Rhodes felt that he could resist the bullets fired by ordinary firecrackers with his twisting force, but he didn't want to test it.

"The strength of the fruit has increased, and the consumption of physical strength has also increased a lot."

Feeling the changes in his body, Rhodes had a deep groan on his face.

The use of Devil Fruits is undoubtedly physically demanding, especially the superhuman line of Twisted Fruits.

Now that his ability to twist the fruit has more than doubled, it means that when he bursts out with all his strength, his physical strength will be consumed faster, and the burden on his body will be greater.

"It seems that the 'physical enhancement' of the general system still has to be pointed out as soon as possible, and now the situation is okay, if you wait for the activation of distorted gravity, I am afraid that the strength of the body will not be able to keep up with the Devil Fruit ability at all."

The strongest person on the sea today is undoubtedly the Four Emperors Whitebeard, and the reason why Whitebeard is powerful is not just because of a shocking fruit.

Although the Shock Fruit is also a terrifying power, without a strong body that can bear the power of shock, it is impossible to exert the terrifying power of Whitebeard.

"The remaining 25 proficiency can be kept for backup, if you encounter a situation that requires explosive power, you can directly point it to the Twisted Fruit, and if you need speed, then point to shave or agility enhancement."

Rhodes thought about it for a moment, and finally left 25 proficiency, anyway, he could summon the talent system at any time and click on it.

After turning off the talent system, Rhodes continued to familiarize himself with the ability to warp light.

Two hours later.

Robin came to Rhodes' side and reported to Rhodes, who was exercising his abilities: "Captain, the deck and cabin have been cleared, and there is a Navy warship coming towards us in the southwest, it should be a medium-sized warship." ”
