Half a month later.

When Rhodes finally touched the edge of the hardening of the armament for the first time, the Ghost Shadow arrived at the town of Belros, the closest island to Upside Down Mountain in the Western Sea, also known as the Island of Origin in the Western Sea, and the town of Rogue in the East Sea was just one piece away from the execution of One Piece.

Although there are often pirates landing here, after the Ghost Shadow arrived at the port, it still caused a shock on the docks, as the number one pirate in the West Sea, the reputation of the Ghost Hand Pirates has long been covered here.

"Replenish enough fresh water and food first."

When the ship docked, Rhodes stood on the deck and said to Lafitte and Robin, "I also need to get a record pointer, which is a necessary item for the great voyage." ”

"Yes, Captain."

Lafitte shook the red cane in his hand, walked down the gangway with a smile, and said, "As a navigator, then leave the matter of recording the pointer to me." ”

No matter how talented Lafitte is, he can even become a cadre of the Blackbeard Pirates, but now he is only a native of the West Sea who has never set foot in the great voyage, and he doesn't know much about things like recording pointers, but with Rhodes here, of course he will not step into the great voyage unprepared.

"Go ahead."

Rhodes nodded, handing over the task of recording the pointer to Lafitte.

Robin smiled slightly, also walked towards the gangway, and said, "Then the purchase of fresh water and food will be left to me." ”

The two crew members each took on a mission, and Rhodes found that he didn't seem to have much more to do, and he didn't have the same appetite to go ashore, so he sat on the Ghost and waited for the two to complete the mission.

Meanwhile.

The news of the arrival of the Ghost Hand Pirates in Belos Town also spread quickly to the naval headquarters stationed in Belos Town.

Bang!

The top commander of the branch, Admiral Yukimula, slapped the table with a thud and stood up abruptly, saying, "The Ghost Hand Pirates are here?!" ”

"Yes...... Their ship was found at the port. ”

The Lieutenant Commander of the Navy who was standing in front of Yukimura was overflowing with cold sweat on his forehead, and asked nervously: "Colonel, what should we do, do we want to surround them?!" ”

Yukimula also had a serious and nervous expression, shook his head solemnly, and said, "No, I'll report to the headquarters first." ”

As a division colonel stationed in the town of Belos, his strength is not comparable to that of ordinary West Sea colonels, and the next step will not be promoted to rear admiral of the division, but will be transferred to the Navy Headquarters as a headquarters colonel.

But even so, in the face of the Ghost Hand Pirates who defeated and sank the Western Sea Fleet led by Rear Admiral Oni Spider, once there was a conflict, he still had no chance of winning.

Soon.

The information was transmitted from Yuchmura back to the Navy headquarters' office in charge of the West Sea, and the atmosphere in the entire office was depressing.

The people who work in this office are the rear admirals of the Navy Headquarters, and the ghost spider was also a member of this office before, and he is also the existence with the best work, no one thought that he would fall in a place like the West Sea.

From not caring about Rhodes, a pirate turned pirate hunter, to the chaos of the entire office, now the name of the Ghost Hand Pirates is mentioned, and the entire office is silent.

Dauberman soon arrives in the office, and since the defeat of the Western Sea Fleet led by Ghost Spider, he has been in charge of all matters related to Ghost Hand Rhodes.

"The town of Berros...... It looks like we're finally about to embark on a great voyage. ”

Listening to the nervous voice coming from the phone bug, Dauberman groaned for a while, and said, "Colonel Yukimura, stay still for the time being, and don't clash with the Ghost Hand Pirates." ”

"Uh...... Be! ”

Yuchmura was stunned for a moment when he heard Dauberman's order, but immediately responded.

Almost any pirate who appears in the town of Beros will be surrounded and pursued by the navy he leads, and at least three or four of the ten pirate groups will be defeated by him in the town of Belros, but this is the first time that the pirate groups have to stand still.

He also knew in his heart that with the deployment of the navy in Belos Town, he could deal with the pirates with a bounty of 350 million, but it was indeed far from enough to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates.

"Since you want to come to the Great Route, let you in, I'll be waiting for you on the Great Route...... The Great Voyage is not a place like the West Sea, where you can do whatever you want. ”

Dauberman hung up the phone bug with a deep look.

I'm not afraid that Rhodes will come to the great voyage, I'm afraid that Rhodes won't come!

Rhodes stayed in the West Sea, it was indeed difficult for him to dispose of it, no branch base in the West Sea had the strength to exterminate the Ghost Hand Pirates, and it was not possible to transfer people from the headquarters or the Great Voyage to do it in a single sentence, and it was extremely troublesome to deal with.

But.

It's a different story when you step into the Great Voyage!

Once you enter the Great Route, you will officially enter the area heavily guarded by the navy.

The troop allocation on the Great Voyage is far beyond that of the West Sea, and the top commanders of each branch base are all lieutenant generals, and their seniority is deeper than that of ghosts and spiders.

Coupled with the large number of pirates who are more famous than the Ghost Hand Pirates, maybe Rhodes will not be able to go under the jurisdiction of the naval branch at all, and will already be destroyed on the sea.

"Inform the naval branches closest to Upside Down Mountain, keep an eye on the movements of all the pirates who have stepped into the great voyage, and once you find the Ghost Hand Pirates, attack immediately, and be sure to exterminate them!"

Dauberman doesn't plan to give Rhodes any more opportunities to grow.

"Yes!"

Many rear admirals responded and dialed the phone bugs of each branch base one after another, passing on Dauberman's order, and his expression gradually changed from serious to relaxed.

As soon as Rhodes reached the Great Route, it was no longer under their jurisdiction.

Second, the strong and arrogant force allocation on the Great Route, even the pirates with a bounty of more than one or two hundred million, have suppressed I don't know how much, just a ghost hand pirate group, which cannot be dealt with in the West Sea, but in the Great Route, it is just a shallow wave.

……

The town of Beros.

The actions of the Navy Headquarters, Rhodes naturally did not know, and even if he knew, he would not care, the Navy was waiting, and he was also waiting, waiting for the meeting on the great voyage.

Those sea thieves on the great voyage with bounties of 100 million, 200 million, and 300 million, and even the king's seven martial seas...... To Rhodes, it was like a hunter walking into a hunting ground, looking at the prey from afar, grinning.

Those beings will be the cornerstones of his ascent to the top of this world.

From the moment he stepped into the Great Voyage, the end of the Navy's top brass who treated him as an insignificant little man and ordered him to be wiped out will be closer and closer.
