T4 branch base of the Navy.

Ever since Bastius was killed by Rhodes in the kingdom of Sman, the base chief had been left vacant, with the only remaining colonel remaining to take charge of the base until a month ago.

A month ago, a warship dispatched by the Navy Headquarters arrived at the T4 branch base and directly took over all the affairs of the T4 branch base, and the top officer was a rear admiral from the Navy Headquarters...... Ghost spiders!

Once the rear admiral of the headquarters is assigned to the naval branch base, he usually holds the position of vice admiral of the branch, but the task of the ghost spider this time is to be fully responsible for the pursuit of the ghost hand Rhodes, so it is just a mission, not a decentralization.

Office of the Base Chief.

The ghost spider was sitting behind his desk, reviewing the papers, and it was easy for him, a major general, to deal with the affairs of the branch base.

And just as he picked up a document and read it, and was about to sign it, the phone bug on the table suddenly rang.

Ghost Spider answers the phone.

"This is the base of the T4 branch."

"Report to Major General Ghost Spider, the scout of our branch, found traces of Ghost Hand Rhodes in the Land of Flowers, how to deal with it?!"

"Huh?!"

Hearing the discovery of the traces of the ghost hand Rhodes, the ghost spider's expression suddenly became serious, and he took the chart on the table and found the country of flowers.

The country of flowers is at least three days away from the T4 branch base.

And the naval force that can reach the country of flowers in one day only has a nearby town branch, and even if it is dispatched, it is obviously not enough to suppress the Ghost Hand Pirates.

"It is impossible to gather a strong force to encircle and suppress it in a short period of time, and the country of flowers is ...... It's also a very troublesome place. ”

The ghost spider groaned for a while, ordered the other side not to act rashly, and after observing secretly for a while, he hung up the phone and thought about it.

Soon there was a twinkle in his eyes, as if he had thought of something.

……

The Land of Flowers.

This is the entertainment scene of the Flower Country, and many well-dressed people come and go, and there are also fierce pirates who gather to pass by.

On the top floor of one of the third-floor bars, it was much more harmonious than the chaos on the ground floor, with scantily clad women twisting their waists in the center and people drinking in their arms and arms in the outer ring.

Suddenly.

The door to the third floor was pushed open, and an inconspicuous young man wearing a fur hat walked in with a black shawl-haired girl.

Due to the loud noise everywhere in the hall, Rhodes and Robin walked in without attracting much attention or movement.

After glancing around the hall, Rhodes casually walked to a seat not far away and sat down, casually examining the scene in the hall.

"One, two, three......"

Robin stood next to Rhodes, calmly observing the scene in the hall, and quickly leaned over and whispered in Rhodes' ear: "It's almost all here." ”

"Hmm."

Rhodes nodded and withdrew his gaze, but he was not in a hurry to make a move, but let him take a glass of champagne from the waiter and take a sip.

Robin stood quietly and waited, not urging or bothering, she always knew what she had to do.

After taking two sips of champagne, Rhodes put the glass on the table beside him, and was about to stand up when a man who was full of alcohol and ragged suddenly leaned over, glanced at Robin, and grinned:

"Boy, your girlfriend looks pretty good, how about borrowing it for fun?"

Compared to the women in the hall, most of whom were over twenty-three or fourteen, Robin, who was only seventeen years old, undoubtedly looked very fresh.

Robin didn't show any expression when he heard such rude words, but still stood calmly behind Rhodes's side, but there was a slight hint of danger in his eyes.

"Get out."

Rhodes sat there, spitting out a word without raising his head.

"Huh?"

The drunken pirate was stunned for a moment, then grinned, slowly lowered his body, tried to see Rhodes's face clearly, and said at the same time:

"It's been a long time since I've heard such bold words, Lao Tzu is a member of the White Bear Pirates, you kid ......"

As he spoke, his head was already lowered to a position close to the level of Rhodes who was sitting there, and he could clearly see Rhodes' face, and his voice gradually became weaker, and finally stopped abruptly.

"The White Bear Pirates, are they very powerful?"

Rhodes' low-pressed brim was raised slightly, and his eyes calmly looked at the drunken pirate, and took his abrupt words.

"You...... You...... You are ......"

The pirate who was full of alcohol, after seeing Rhodes's face clearly, the wine instantly woke up more than half, as a crew member of the White Bear Pirates, how could he not have seen the bounty order of the ghost hand Rhodes, and did not know the ghost hand whose bounty ranked first in the West Sea?!

Rhodes slowly stood up, pulled his pistol from his waist, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at the pirate's fearful gaze.

Bang!

A gunshot rang out.

The hall was silent for a moment, and then there was chaos.

The captain of the White Bear Pirates, after hearing the gunshot, subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from, just in time to see his crew falling backwards to the ground, and at the same time saw the face of Rhodes standing up.

"You ......"

He was slightly stunned and narrowed his eyes slightly.

……

Outside on the street.

The sudden gunshot from the third floor of the bar startled the people nearby, and many people subconsciously looked up at the third floor of the bar, and soon saw a large group of people fleeing from it in a panic.

"Gunshots?!"

"What's going on? Which pirate is making trouble here?! ”

Just as many people were in shock, and the patrols in the distance heard the gunshots, the walls of the third floor of the bar shattered, and a figure flew upside down from above amid the debris splashing.

Bang!

The scarred, embarrassed figure on the street was not humanoid, but a monster with a human head and a bear body, its claws all twisted and broken strangely, and its face still had a somewhat hideous expression.

The sudden change made the people on the street startled, and they all moved to the sides, and countless eyes shifted in shock.

"That's ...... Captain of the White Bear Pirates! ”

"A pirate with a bounty of 45 million? How could this be a tragic situation?! ”

A passer-by recognized the half-human, half-bear-like existence, and couldn't help but gasp, looking at the top floor of the bar with some horror.

Who could beat the pirates with a bounty of 45 million Bailey so miserably?!

Sou!

Just as they were terrified, a figure jumped down from the top floor of the bar and stepped directly on the white bear who was trying to get up.

"Ahem!"

The white bear coughed up a mouthful of blood, unable to maintain his form any longer, and the white fur on his body quickly faded, turning into a middle-aged pirate in a jacket.

"Damn ......"

"You bastard!"

The middle-aged pirate who had changed into a human form, with a crazy and hideous expression on his face, did not beg for mercy, but struggled to pull out the pistol at his waist and shoot at Rhodes.

Rhodes' eyes were calm, and the soles of his feet slammed into each other.

Click! Click!

The middle-aged pirate's chest collapsed, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the hand holding the pistol finally fell to the ground weakly.

The many passers-by next to him had not yet woken up from the terrible shock of the captain of the White Bear Pirates being beaten, and they couldn't help but swallow when they saw the figure that indifferently stepped on the body of the captain White Bear.

"That person is ......"

“…… Ghost Hand Rhodes! ”

The sea thief with a bounty of 45 million Bailey, the pirate captain White Bear with the ability of animal-based devil fruits, actually fell so miserably at the hands of Rhodes, and looking at Rhodes' appearance, it seems that it didn't take much effort!

The pedestrians around, whether it was the aristocratic gentlemen of the Flower Country or some pirates who enjoyed drinking, couldn't help but step back in a circle.
