Two days later.

The magnetic force of the recording hands was finally full, and Lafitte returned to the ship.

The single-arrow record pointer is indeed one of the three arrows record pointer, which is undoubtedly good news for Rhodes, the previous snatch was not in vain, and the subsequent route will also become flexible to change.

"Let's go to Port Elfa first."

Rhodes gave instructions to Lafitte.

It is very difficult to lock down a pirate in the Western Sea, but in the case of the Great Voyage, every island needs to stop to store magnetism, and the route is limited to a large extent, with the speed of the Ghost, it is much easier to chase a pirate ship.

"Yes, Captain."

Lafitte answered, put the old single-arrow record pointer in his pocket, and looked at the three-arrow record pointer and chart, navigating the ghost.

Seven days later, the Ghost Shadow arrived on the next island, where it took only two days to store magnetism, and then set sail again, arriving at another island in just five days.

The Ghost's advantage in speed, combined with Lafitte, a navigator, was brought into full play, and it took only twenty days to cross three islands in succession and arrive at Port El Fa.

……

The Ghost Shadow Training Room.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A continuous roar sounded here, and Rhodes's hands were clenched into fists, as if he was wearing a thin black glove, punching and punching a square piece of steel, and the steel was constantly dented.

During the battle with Dalmeia, although he did not use the armed color domineering, he always observed Dalmeia's armed color until the end of the battle.

Combat has always been the most effective means of developing the potential of the human body in this world, and after the battle with Dalmeia, it took only a few days for Rhodes to completely master the means of armed color hardening.

"Twisted...... Fist! ”

In the continuous punching, Rhodes' eyes suddenly flashed, and he shouted in his heart, and the twisting power was suddenly stimulated, poured into the fist, and swung out a fierce punch.

Bang!

Under Rhodes' punch, the square steel directly showed a spiral-twisted crack on the front, and if it weren't for Rhodes' rapid withdrawal of ability, the entire piece of steel might have shattered.

Looking at the square steel, Rhodes' brows furrowed slightly, and he looked down at his fist, only to see that the armed domineering attached to the fist had collapsed at some point.

"Still can't you perfectly combine domineering and fruit ability......

After mastering the hardening of the armed color, the next direction of Rhodes' cultivation is to combine the armed color with the ability of the fruit.

The Devil Fruit ability and the armed color domineering are not two abilities that conflict and oppose each other, but can be perfectly integrated through control.

Doflamingo's thread, Luffy's rubber, which can be directly attached to the armed color for the time being, Whitebeard's shock fruit, which can seriously injure Akainu with one punch, obviously has the domineering of the armed color contained in it.

Otherwise.

The natural system filters out the damage of the shock with the help of elementalization, and only bears an ordinary punch of armed color, so that it will not be seriously injured to the point of vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

However, Devil Fruits such as Twist and Shock are obviously different from the superhuman systems with entities such as threads and rubber.

The two Devil Fruit abilities, Thread and Rubber, can be stacked almost perfectly with the armament color, and burst out with extremely strong attack power.

The Twist and Shock Fruit are already extremely strong in their own attack power, and these two abilities are abilities that do not have entities, so the armed color domineering is only used as an auxiliary effect and is mixed into the ability.

The first two can be called combined, and the latter two are additional.

Attached to the vibration of the armed color, it is simply a shock to who is pregnant, no matter whether the natural or superhuman system can resist it, if the power of distortion can be attached to the characteristics of the armed color, it must be extraordinary.

Because of this, the combination of the invisible power and domineering of shock and distortion is obviously much more difficult than the line rubber, and Rhodes has been constantly trying for more than ten days, but he has never been able to attach the armed color domineering when he activates the ability of distorting fruits.

Even.

When Rhodes burst out with all his twisted power, the hardening of the armament on his fist could not be maintained, and it would be affected by the twisted force and then collapsed.

"Whitebeard can add domineering energy to the vibration, which means that the fruit ability without a physical body can indeed attach domineering energy......"

Rhodes looked at his fist, his eyes flickered slightly, since someone can do it, it means that this path is feasible, he can't do it now, just because the armed color is not strong enough, and the control of the armed color and fruit ability is slightly insufficient.

Maybe in the future, his control and development of the twisted fruit will be able to surpass Whitebeard, but now he is obviously far from Whitebeard, who stands at the pinnacle of the world.

Just as Rhodes was about to continue exercising, there was a knock on the door, followed by Robin's voice.

"Captain Rhodes, Port Elfa has arrived."

"I see."

……

After the Ghost docked in Port Elfa, Robin and Rhodes went to the island and split up to gather information about the Iron Wall Pirates.

At the same time, in a corner where no one noticed, a world government intelligence officer in civilian clothes took out a telephone bug and reported to the other side with a serious face.

"Report, the Ghost Hand Pirates have appeared in Port Elfa!"

"Keep watching."

The head of the intelligence department on the other side, after hearing the report from his subordinate intelligence officers, quietly ordered him to continue to monitor and quickly transfer the information to the upper echelons of the world government.

At the same time, this information was also transmitted to the Navy Headquarters.

Due to the extremely bad impact caused by the Rhodes incident, not only the Navy Headquarters, but even the high-level of the world government have already set their sights on the Ghost Hand Pirates.

To deal with Rhodes and the Ghost Hand Pirates, the ordinary branch obviously can't do it, at least the lieutenant general of the headquarters must be in charge, and even for the sake of safety, it is necessary to send two lieutenant generals of the headquarters and lead more than three warships.

"Do you want the headquarters to send warships and vice admirals?"

"No, I'd recommend leaving it to CP9 in secret."

"Port of Elfa ...... If memory serves, two more islands on this route will be the territory of crocodiles. ”

"Really? If that is the case, it is possible to postpone the dispatch of troops. ”

Compared with the navy sending heavy troops to encircle and suppress the Ghost Hand Pirates, it is undoubtedly a better choice to let the Sand Crocodile Klockdahl, who has just signed the Seven Martial Seas Treaty, deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates.

If the Sand Crocodile can destroy the Ghost Hand Pirates, then there will be no problem with the location of the Seven Martial Seas, if the Sand Crocodile is destroyed, then such a Seven Martial Seas is obviously not enough to balance the great route, so it is just right to change people as soon as possible, so as not to have a bigger hole in the future.
