Haig Town.

It looks like an ordinary town, but the townspeople live in fear, because the town is often haunted by a large number of Capone gangsters.

These gangsters collude with local authorities, and even engage in all kinds of insider deals with the navy, often killing people and setting fires, and the navy only symbolically inspects them.

In the middle of the town.

There is a simple building on the outside, but the interior is very luxurious.

In a hall on the top floor of the building, a tall, fat man in a black suit was sitting, shaking his head at a copy of the love newspaper that his hand had just delivered, and his face showed disdain.

"The navy is still as useless as ever, encircling the layout in advance, and it can't even take a pirate hunter."

His name is Capone and Leckie, and he is one of several high-ranking cadres of the Capone family, who is responsible for the development of underground gangs in this area.

A man in a black suit wearing glasses next to him said in a deep voice:

"Maybe it's because the strength of the ghost hand Rhodes is a little beyond expectations, chief, do you think this will involve us?"

"What if it's involved? I've also investigated the information of the ghost hand Rhodes, and he has always been alone, can he turn the world on his own? Even if our forces go head-to-head with the naval division, we may not lose! ”

Leckie shook his head disdainfully and picked up a glass of red wine on the table.

However.

Just as he put the red wine to his lips, the whole building suddenly shook, and with a dull roar, the red wine in the glass spilled all over him.

Lyckey, furious, put down his glass, and slammed to his feet.

"What? What's going on?! ”

"Rai...... Leader Leckie, oh no, someone's coming in from outside! ”

One of Capone's gang men rushed in from outside in a panic and reported to Leckie, with a look of horror on his face.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned to the side, and the maid who was holding a silk scarf and tried to wipe Leckie's suit shook her hand, and her eyes showed horror.

Leckie was also shocked and said, "Who came in?" Navy or Doper gangster bastards? How could there be no news at all. ”

"No...... It's not the Navy, it's not the Doper Gang, it's the Ghost Hand Rhodes, and he's rushing in alone! ”

The gang member spoke tremblingly.

Leckie's eyes widened.

"Ghost Hand Rhodes? Just him? What are you all doing to eat, rushing in alone? Don't go out and kill him for me! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar at the door, and the delicate red oak door shattered, and a figure walked in amid the flying sawdust.

"Who is ...... Cappenleckie? ”

Rhodes's clothes were a little embarrassed, but the gaze revealed in those indifferent eyes made people feel like falling into an ice cellar the moment they touched it.

Several people in the hall couldn't help but turn their eyes to Carpenlecchi, and Rhodes's gaze also moved away.

"The things in Tarot Town, you guys did it."

Rhodes stared at Carpenlecki indifferently.

Carpenlecki was shocked by the aura that Rhodes rushed into, but he was one of the senior cadres of the Capone family after all, so he quickly calmed down and said coldly.

"So what?"

As Caponeleki's voice fell, members of Capone's gang rushed in, and the corridors outside were densely packed with people.

"It's good that you're not looking for the wrong person."

Rhodes didn't care about the steady stream of Capone gang members, he nodded, flicked his wrist, took out a pistol, and fired six shots in a row, killing six gang members who rushed in in an instant.

Followed by.

Rhodes threw away the pistol, and the whole person rushed forward, directly towards Carpenlecchi.

If he was surrounded by hundreds of people armed with firearms, that kind of situation would not be very friendly to Rhodes, so he didn't intend to waste time.

"Don't be too arrogant, boy!"

Carpenlecki's eyes showed cold anger, and he took out two pistols at a speed no inferior to Rhodes, and fired at Rhodes with a thump.

Rhodes slammed forward, stomped hard, and shaved the Navy Six, moving sharply sideways to avoid the bullets fired by Carpenlecchi.

"Damn it!"

Carpenlecki didn't expect Rhodes to be able to avoid his bullets at such a close distance, and after slamming the bullets into the air, he pulled out a long sword at his waist and slashed out at Rhodes who rushed up.

Rhodes looked at him indifferently, did not retreat, did not draw his sword, but clenched his five fingers into a fist, and slammed into a punch against Carpenlecchi's sword.

Airplanes!

The fist that Rhodes swung out did not have any armed color domineering, but it was wrapped in a distorted force, the form was like the shock fruit of Whitebeard, but the color was not white, but colorless and transparent, like the part of the distorted air above the burning flame.

This is a new ability that Rhodes can perform after reaching 75 in the Twisted Fruit.

He can directly attach the twisting power to his fist, and although he can't throw it out for long-range attacks, he already has the ability to deal with swords with his bare hands!

Click!

When Carpenleckie's sword touched that part of the distorted area, the entire sword was forcibly strangled in mid-air by a force, and it was difficult to move down an inch!

"Devil Fruit ......"

Cappenleckie's pupils shrank, but at this time it was already difficult to ride the tiger, he roared, his hands clenched the hilt of the sword, and slashed hard.

But even though he tried his best to slash, the long sword he held in his hand still twisted and broke at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Click! Click!!

Eventually, the entire sword was twisted into a spiral-shaped mass of iron.

Rhodes withdrew his fist and slapped his hands in front of him, and the twisted sword was crumpled into a ball of iron and thrown at the door with his backhand, smashing the head of a gangster who rushed in.

"You ......"

Carpenlecki's face finally showed a hint of panic, and he retreated, trying to jump out of the window to escape, but before he could retreat, Rhodes stepped forward, grabbed him by the collar, and pressed him against the wall.

"Get your men out of here."

Rhodes spoke indifferently.

As a senior cadre of the Capone family, Carpenleki has experienced an unknown number of battles, large and small, but this is the first time that someone has single-handedly rushed into the base and controlled it.

Feeling the strange power transmitted from the hand that grabbed his neck, and thinking of the scene where his sword was twisted into a spiral piece of iron just now, Carpenleck's inner fear began to spread.

"Don't, don't come in! You all get out! ”

He roared.

Many gang members looked at each other, and finally walked out one by one.

Rhodes glanced at the doorway, slowly retracting his gaze to look at Carpenlecchi, who was pressed against the wall by his neck.

"No one bothers us now."

"You...... What are you doing? If you ask for money, I can give it to you! ”

For Carpenlecchi, it is obvious that his own life is the most important, and since Rhodes is a pirate hunter, in his opinion, all he wants is money.

"No, I'm not interested in money."

Rhodes shook his head, let go of Carpenlecchi, took a piece of paper from his arms, and threw out a recording device.

"I don't like to take the blame for others, the matter in Tarot Town has nothing to do with me, I need you to tell the truth about what happened, and then inform the navy."

Hearing Rhodes's words, Carpenlecki was slightly stunned, he looked at the pen and paper that Rhodes threw on the ground, and suddenly shook his head.

"I see, that's the idea you're hitting...... I'm sorry, but even if I did, it wouldn't work, because I didn't manipulate it. ”

"You didn't manipulate it?"

Rhodes frowned slightly.

The corners of Carpenleckie's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Do you want to know who framed you?" I can tell...... Ahhhh ”

Before he could finish his sentence, the muscles in his entire arm twisted into a terrifying arc, and the terrifying sound of muscles breaking could be faintly heard.

"Who did it?"

Rhodes asked indifferently.

"You damn ......"

Carpenleck's face showed a look of cruelty and anger, and half of his angry scolding was already roared, but when it touched Rhodes's cold eyes, the lower half was forced to block his throat.

Before the threat of death, he finally flinched, his tone softened, and he slowly spoke:

"It's Lieutenant Commander Laika of the Navy, he took the initiative to bring up this matter, and the specific things are all done by the Navy, and it has nothing to do with me."

The air fell silent.

"Navy...... Lieutenant Colonel Laika ......"

Rhodes muttered in a low tone, the expression on his face could not be described in words, and he looked at Carpenlecchi on the side, and suddenly his wrist flicked.

Click!!

One of Carpenlecchi's arms was twisted into a twist in an instant, and the flesh was shattered and miserable, and the sharp pain made him gasp.

"I want to hear the truth."

Rhodes spoke indifferently.

Carpenlecki couldn't help but curse angrily under the severe pain, and said, "You...... You damn bastard! I'm telling the truth! ”

"Really?"

With a backhand press from Rhodes, Carpenlecchi's other arm twisted again, and after repeating this several times, all that remained in the hall was a puddle of minced meat.

"It looks like he's telling the truth."

Rhodes slowly withdrew his hand, bypassed Carpenlecchi's corpse, and came to the window, looking at the blue sea in the distance, his eyes changing.

This matter is led by the navy, and Rhodes has guessed from the beginning, after all, this kind of thing is too loophole, and if no one in the navy acquiesces or even contributes to it, it is impossible to blame him for such a thing.

The question now is......

Is this the meaning of Laika alone, or is the entire navy completely dark?

Rhodes has been avoiding head-on confrontation with the Navy because he really doesn't like the life of being wanted bounty, but that doesn't mean he's afraid of being wanted with a bounty!

"What a nice job, Navy."

Rhodes smiled.

He was going to make a trip to the naval base to make a final decision.

He didn't want to be wanted for a bounty, and he didn't want to be a pirate, but if he had no other choice, he had to be a pirate......

Then turn the world upside down!
