Red Continent.

Riding the bubble cable car, a group of people from the World Government, escorting a large number of items, arrived at Port No. 3 on the edge of the Holy Land.

"Finally delivered...... Heavenly gold. ”

Finally stepping into port, some government officials breathed a sigh of relief.

Escorting Heavenly Gold is not an absolutely safe job, although there is a CP0 escort throughout the process, but occasionally there will be robberies.

And.

The expropriation of heavenly gold is not a thing that can be completed peacefully, and the people of some countries are saying that they are poor, they can't even afford to eat, and they can't pay the heavenly gold, so they really all deserve to die.

"Thank you."

A government official spoke at the CP0 people.

The person from CP0 waved his hand and said, "Next, it will be sent to the hands of the world nobles." ”

"Yes, I'll ask you to escort you over."

The officials of the World Government are to return to Ponger Castle to resume their lives, and CP0 will carry out the rest of the transfer work.

Several CP0s nodded, it was not the first time that they had escorted Heavenly Gold.

And at this very time.

The captain of CP0 suddenly glanced in a certain direction strangely.

"What's wrong?"

The man next to him asked.

The captain of CP0 released his domineering aura and sensed it, but he didn't perceive anything, so he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Nothing ......"

I guess it's an illusion.

Just after a few people left with Heavenly Gold, next to a certain red rock in that direction, the void suddenly twisted, and a figure emerged, it was Rhodes.

He did not choose to invade directly from above the Holy Land, because according to the information he learned, there was some kind of special equipment in the sky above Mary Joya to monitor it in real time to prevent anyone from trying to invade and cross from the sky.

Using the distorted light and sound, he made his way from the bottom of the ocean to the Red Earth with ease.

But.

I just took a look at the captain of CP0, but I was almost discovered, distorting the light and sound, and I couldn't avoid seeing and hearing it.

And the only way to avoid seeing and hearing is the trick he just used...... The space is hidden.

Use the ability to distort space, distort the space around you, and wrap your whole person, so that even if you are domineering, you can only cross the distorted space and cannot touch Rhodes's body.

Of course.

This ability also has a flaw, that is, when it is used, the whole person is like stuck in a quagmire, and it is difficult to move.

If you want to move in this state, you have to maintain the space that wraps you like a quilt, and at the same time, you have to continue to move by pulling the space further ahead.

Although Rhodes can indeed do it, the consumption of physical strength is too great, and the speed of movement is too slow, so this ability can only be regarded as a simple, in-situ ability.

"Heavenly Golden ......"

Rhodes stared in the direction CP0 and the government officials had left, his eyes unwavering.

He has seen too much about the ugly side of this world, and he will not be moved by it in his heart.

The Celestial Dragon Man had been in that position for a long time, and even without him, he would be taken down sooner or later.

But now that he is here, the person who will do this will not be a revolutionary army, nor will it be a pirate king, but him.

Step forward.

Rhodes followed the people who escorted the heavenly gold, and soon crossed the artificial green forest in the first half of Mary Joy, and arrived at the power center of the world government, the Ponger Castle.

This building is not too high, but from a distance, it gives people a majestic and majestic momentum.

Even.

Even the naval headquarters fortress that Rhodes once destroyed was no match for this castle that didn't seem to have much defense.

Because it represents the center of the world government, the supreme power of the world government, stands here.

"Ponger Castle ......"

Rhodes looked at the castle with a slight glint in his eyes.

He doesn't have a rough perception of seeing and hearing, because there will be no fewer strong people who are proficient in seeing and hearing, and once he uses seeing and hearing to perceive, the other party will also be able to discover his existence.

Insist on saying.

Rhodes is not very jealous of the five old stars.

Because the five old stars are just the five people with the highest status among the Celestial Dragons, as the Celestial Dragons, they are in power, but they may not have much strength in combat.

Will the Draconians go to battle?

I'm afraid not for the rest of my life.

If you haven't experienced a real battle, you won't be strong anyway, and even if you use the government's intelligence department to collect the top Devil Fruits, I'm afraid you won't be stronger than the Admiral.

What really makes Rhodes care is the people behind the scenes.

Why did Doflamingo know that the fruit of the surgery could be used for ageless surgery? There is no doubt that someone must have used this procedure in history.

What happens if a person lives for hundreds of years?

Maybe there will be limits to physical fitness and the like, but things like seeing and hearing and being armed will probably reach a terrifying level.

At least Rhodes was sure that if he lived to be a few hundred years old, he would probably be able to beat his current self with one hand.

Of course.

Caring is not the same as fearing.

Now he ...... It is recognized as the strongest in the world!

Since a long time ago, he has not had any fear of the world government, and now that he is the strongest person in the world, it is even more impossible for him to have fear!

"If nothing else, the Soul Fruit should be placed in the core warehouse, but it still needs to be confirmed."

Rhodes muttered under his breath.

The Holy Land of Mary Joya has a huge warehouse with all kinds of weapons, contraband, and the like.

And in addition to this warehouse on the surface, there is also a core warehouse, which is filled with extremely precious things, even if it is a Celestial Dragon, without the permission of the Five Old Stars, it is forbidden to take things in the core warehouse.

As for the location of the core warehouse, Rhodes learned from the intelligence, which was a favorable situation for him.

Swish!

Rhodes distorts the light, refracting the image of a government official in his memory onto himself, replacing his own appearance.

Looking at the Ponger Castle in front of him, Rhodes walked over.

Don't worry about being recognized.

In addition to the top sight and hearing color, although the general sight and hearing color can sense human movements, it cannot replace the eyes.

Therefore, the external image created by distorting the light can still confuse most people.

Soon.

Rhodes walked to the main entrance of the castle, and the guards outside the castle saw Rhodes and bowed to Rhodes without any hindrance.

After entering Ponger Castle, Rhodes naturally walked around it, and after going around in a circle, he began to look for accurate information about the Soul Fruit.

Although he has not done intelligence gathering work for a long time, the standard in this area is not lagging behind.

It didn't take long.

Rhodes had received accurate information, and the Soul Fruit had been sent to the Holy Land of Mary Joy a day earlier, and had been recorded in storage, indeed in the Core Warehouse.
