Chapter 65: The Beginning of the Dawn
"Ah, that's bad news, but I'm just starting my journey and I don't want to end here...... What do you think? ”
Lafitte was not angry, but showed a strange smile, and as soon as he finished the first half of the sentence, his whole body disappeared silently, and when he reappeared, he had already come behind the person who had just spoken, and he had an extra musket in his hand.
“?!”
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then they were all taken aback, because no one noticed how Lafitte suddenly came to the side, as if it was a teleportation in magic.
Pointed at the musket, a cold sweat broke out on the pirate hunter's forehead, and he didn't expect the worthless Lafitte to suddenly teleport next to him.
"So...... Do you feel like your journey ends here? ”
Lafitte still had a strange expression on her face.
Bang!
Almost as the cold sweat on the pirate hunter's forehead slipped down his cheeks, and everyone present reacted and aimed their weapons at Lafitte, Lafitte fired.
There was a thud of gunshots, blood splattered everywhere, and the pirate hunter shook for a moment, with a frightened look on his face, and fell to the ground with a pop.
"Damn it!"
"Kill him!"
Many pirate hunters looked angry when they saw this scene, and after aiming at Lafitte, there was a fire, and for a while, the gunshots rang out continuously.
But everyone only fired two or three shots before they stopped pulling the trigger, because Lafitte's figure disappeared like a phantom at some point.
"I'm sorry Captain, it looks like they're not going to kill each other."
Lafitte appeared next to Rhodes, the pistol he didn't know where he had hidden, and he said apologetically to Rhodes.
Rhodes didn't care and said, "It's okay. ”
At this time, many pirate hunters also found that Lafitte had returned to the Ghost, and couldn't help but aim their weapons at Roz Robin and Lafitte standing on the side of the Ghost.
This time, both Ailin and Walding did not clash with each other again, but looked at the three people on the Ghost Shadow with solemn eyes.
Lafitte's elusive methods obviously shocked them in their hearts, and the point was that Lafitte didn't offer a bounty at all, and was completely unexpected.
Coupled with the fact that Lafitte looks completely dominated by Rhodes and respectfully treats Rhodes, then Rhodes, the sea thief with a bounty of 92 million Bailey, has invisibly put a heavy pressure on them.
"It really doesn't seem that easy to deal with."
Kebero put away his smile, the expression on his face became very solemn, and said to Walding and Ayrin: "Let go of the private matter first, this time we really have to join forces to deal with it, otherwise I am afraid that we will really suffer heavy casualties and lose control of Pluton Town." ”
There are a lot of pirate hunters in Pluton Town, but they are all the three of them, and many foreign pirate hunters are squeezed out by them.
"Humph!"
Eileen snorted coldly, but didn't say anything, obviously agreeing with what Kerbero said, and Waldin's solemn gaze also expressed what he meant.
Since it's not so easy to deal with, and it's not certain that either one can deal with it alone, let's join forces for the time being, and then distribute the bounty after killing them.
"The pirates with a bounty of 171 million Bailey really have some skills, but this is a great route!"
Walding stared at the three Rhodes and spoke in a deep voice, taking the lead in pulling the trigger of the heavy machine gun on their shoulders, and the dense rain of bullets suddenly crackled towards the Rhodes three.
Meanwhile.
Many pirate hunters with guns also aimed at the three Rhodes and opened fire, and some of them carried portable cannons and fired shells in the smoke.
Sou! Sou!
Robin and Lafitte retreated to both sides at the same time, Lafitte pulled out his musket and was about to fight back, while Robin also crossed his arms and intended to activate his abilities.
However, at this moment, Rhodes's voice was transmitted from the sound of gunfire.
"Stand back, I'll ......"
Although Robin and Lafitte teamed up to deal with this group of pirate hunters, Rhodes did not intend to sit idly by, but planned to solve it quickly, he did not like to watch farce.
Dense bullets were fired at Rhodes's body, all of which were frozen there, and all the bullets showed signs of distortion and deformation.
Ding Ding Dong!
Rhodes' hands were empty, and the bullets that were condensed on his body were all twisted and squeezed by a force, and instantly converged in front of him, crumpled into a ball of iron.
"This ......"
"It's a Devil Fruit Ability!"
Walding and the others were stunned for a moment, and then they were shocked in their hearts, although it is very common for those with Devil Fruit abilities on the Great Voyage, those with abilities still have a strong deterrent power!
Smack!
Rhodes threw away the crumpled mass of iron from the bullets and cannonballs, and with a flicker, his figure leaped off the side of the ship and landed on the dock.
"Let's get on it!"
Although they don't know what Rhodes' Devil Fruit ability is, Walding and the others are not unaware of Devil Fruits, and they can still maintain their composure.
In the shouts of everyone, countless people drew their swords and rushed towards Rhodes, and the bright swords slashed down at Rhodes.
But.
A strange scene appeared.
All the swords that touched Rhodes' body were like soft clay, directly twisted and bent, turning into an L-shape, and the sword that stabbed Rhodes was even more twisted like a swimming snake.
Rhodes walked forward calmly, all the swords were silently twisted, he stretched out his fingers and swiped gently, and all the people who were crossed by his fingers showed a strange twist in their bodies, and even the upper body and the lower body were directly separated.
"Damn it!"
"What the hell is this ability!"
This scene finally frightened everyone, whether it was Walding or Kerbero, all of them showed a bit of horror.
"To be a pirate hunter, you must distinguish the scope of your prey, if you can't distinguish it clearly, it will be like now, and there will be no chance to distinguish clearly."
Rhodes spoke in a flat tone, and his steps kept moving forward, and everywhere he went, or where his fingers could reach, all the bodies of the pirate hunters were separated.
In the past, Rhodes could only break people's twisted muscles and bones, but now he has done it as if it was distorted from a deeper level, extending from the surface to the level of cells.
There was no sound of bones breaking where his fingers touched, and even on the half-torsos of the pirate hunters whose bodies were separated, there was no blood, and it was such a strange separation of all bodies.
"Damn!"
Ai Linen looked at Rhodes, who was walking forward and unstoppable, with a gritted teeth and hideous look on her face, she did not flinch, but held the huge machete with both hands and slashed at Rhodes.
This knife was powerful and heavy, and there was a faint invisible slash that fell.
However.
In the face of such a knife, Rhodes showed a spicy-eyed expression, he withdrew his fingers, and flicked his fingers at the falling blade, as if he had no power.
Silent.
The bullet didn't even make a sound like a ding-dong, and the huge machete seemed to turn into soft mud, and Rhodes's fingers swept directly over it, and the entire blade was directly split in half.
"Really...... It's ugly. ”
Rhodes's eyes showed a rare trace of unbearable direct gaze, and as soon as he stepped on it, the mud and sand under his feet surged up directly, wrapping the other party, and then twisting and squeezing, making a bang.
But even so, it still can't heal the damage to Rhodes's eyes, so he closed his eyes and used what he saw and heard.
“……”
The remaining seven or eight pirate hunters, watching Eileen being crushed and killed by Rhodes without resistance, almost showed a look of fear as they all joined Walding and the others.
Damn it!
Is this guy really a newcomer to the pirates who has just stepped into the great voyage?!
Looking at Rhodes in the field, they had a chill down their spines, fear quickly took over their hearts, they subconsciously retreated, one step at a time, and then began to turn around and flee.
"Hurt my eyes...... Don't go. ”
Rhodes's gaze returned to calm, and there was a hint of indifference in the calm, and he raised his hand to grasp it far away, and the mud and sand under his feet surged wildly, covering all the seven or eight people who had escaped.
As Rhodes' fists tightened, there was a popping sound like a tomato being trampled through the rising sand, and then there was silence.
……
In January of the twelfth year of the Age of the Pirates, the Ghost Hand Pirates set foot on the great voyage and bloodied the local pirate hunter gang in Pluton Town, one of the original islands, and showed their edge!
