"Out of the way, out of the way!"

"What happened here?"

The patrol guard of Kano Country quickly arrived to the street and after seeing the body lying at the center of the street and the youth wearing the leather cap, their faces changed.

Ghost Hand Ross!

The body on the ground was a little non-human, but after careful examination, they also recognized that it was the body of the captain of the Polar Bear pirates.

"Did Ghost Hand Ross fought with the Polar Bear pirates here?"

The patrol captain was a little nervous. This level of a pirate is not something he can handle. If there is a civilian or a nobleman who is injured because of this fight then it will be very troublesome.

Fortunately, after asking some questions from the surrounding people, he found that no aristocrats and civilians were injured and the patrol captain was relieved.

Although there are rules in the entertainment street that prohibits fighting and killing here, such rules are only to restrict ordinary pirates and protect the civilians and nobles of Kano Country.

By the time the chaos in the entertainment street subsided, Ross and Robin had already left and as Ghost Hand Ross said nothing, the killing of the Captain of the Polar Bear pirates became a hot topic of discussion on the same day.

Killing the captain of Polar Bear pirate group, Ross got 15 points of Talent Proficiency, he didn't intend to keep it and directly assigned them to the Distortion Fruit.

After adding 15 points of Talent Proficiency, the total proficiency of Distortion Fruit has reached 190 points and the range of its effect has become much larger.

For Ross' current physical strength, he can fully bear the increase in power of Distortion Fruit. But he may not be able to use it flexibly when it reached around 230 or 240 points.

"The wealth of the Polar Bear pirates is quite a lot, more than 30 million Berries."

After destroying the Polar Bear pirates, Ross took over all of the Polar Bear pirate group's wealth and searched their Pirate Ship, which together had more than 30 million Berries.

Robin looked at the box of money piled up in front and said: "It should be that all the treasures that Polar Bear pirate group looted during this time have just been disposed of in Kano Country."

Ross nodded.

There are no such things as gold and silver jewels in there, all of them are Berries, so he can save his time.

"Now we have more than 100 million Berries, but if you want to buy the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam, I am afraid it will not be enough."

Robin understands the worth of the Treasure Tree Adam.

Ross threw the money-filled box into the cabin.

"So, we will have enough."

He does not bother to do things like looting civilians, but robbing pirates is a different matter. If he lacks money, he will rob another pirate.

Just in a day and a half.

Ross broke the rules of killing in Kano country and started slaughtering all the pirate's in Kano country. A total of six large pirate groups were killed by his hands and small pirate groups defeated were countless.

At first, Ross didn't plan to behave recklessly and begin a slaughter. The result was that he didn't expect that after he killed three pirate groups, a large number of smaller pirate groups will collude together to form a giant single group and secretly spreading the rumor that he wanted to kill all the pirates. Uniting every single one of them against him.

Naturally, there is no need to mention more about what happened to them.

The pirate groups assembled has two pirates that had 30 million bounties on their head, but for Ross and Robin who make their mission to kill these pirates, there was nothing the pirates could do.

When Ross started to kill them and successively sank two Pirate Ships, the color of the sea on the shore became blood red and the temporary alliance of the pirates collapsed completely.

This incident has undoubtedly alerted the official forces of Kano Country, but Kano Country allowed the situation to develop and did not intervene.

After slaughtering a large number of pirates, Ross also made up nearly 300 million Berries.

Other than that.

He also got 25 points of Talent Proficiency.

For the allocation of the 25-point Talent Proficiency, Ross did not hesitate and directly put the 25 proficiency points into the Distortion Fruit and by doing that the total proficiency of the Distortion Fruit became 215 points.

If the physical strength is strong enough, the ability to improve Distortion Fruit is undoubtedly the most profitable. The 25 proficiency points have enhanced the ability of his Distortion Fruit.

Currently, he is standing in the cabin of his own ship. If the ability of Distortion Fruit is applied to the hull, the entire ship can be covered!

In other words.

If Ross is facing a Battleship now, as long as he can reach the Battleship by using Geppō (Moonwalk), he can use his fruit's ability to instantly distort the whole Battleship!

And at this level of power of distortion, the general artillery and even the large-caliber artillery on any Pirate Ship will not affect Ross and he will be able to block them easily.

Unless it is heavy artillery, there is no threat to Ross.

"The power of Distortion Fruit and my physical strength have finally reached equilibrium again. Now I have to raise my Agility Enhancement as soon as possible."

Feeling the power of distortion flowing within his body, Ross muttered.

Now, even if he faced two or three people of Rear Admiral Bastille's level, they will not be his opponent. Even if they uses the Armament Haki, if their Haki cultivation is weak, they may not be able to block his present Distortion Power.

But in terms of agility and speed, his current speed is only a little faster than Bastille. If he meets a speed-type opponent or who can use Observation Haki, he will easily fall into a troublesome situation.

In the first place, he is a strength based fighter and not speed based.

Nowadays, due to the rapid increase in his physical strength and fruit's ability, his speed is somewhat unable to keep up with his progress and it becomes a weak point.

"Captain, the auction will start in an hour."

Robin knocked on the door and walked into Ross's room, reminding Ross.

The auction time and location of the Treasure Tree Adam's branch, which have long been inquired by Robin, are the finale items placed on the auction by the Kano Country's officials.

"Let's go."

Ross turned around and saw that Robin was sprouting four hands and carrying four huge suitcases, he couldn't help but smile and took two suitcases from her hand.

"Captain is really considerate."

Robin grinned, after being with him for so long, she was familiar with Ross's personality and occasionally showed some playful behavior.

"No, it's just that the four arms are too eye-catching."

Ross grinned and walked by Robin.

Robin's mouth slightly curled into a smile, the extra two arms turned into petals and disappeared before she put on a hat and followed Ross on the shore and walked toward the treasure wood auction site.

Kano Country receives some valuable wood every year. These woods are very expensive and often difficult to sell, so they are generally put together in large auctions for trade.

The auction site was located in the open-air timber area on the south bank of Kano Country.

When Ross and Robin arrived, there were already a large number of people gathered there, who were mostly merchants from all over the world, with some pirates mixed in.

There are a large number of various types of woods on the site, the most conspicuous of which is undoubtedly a giant wood of about forty meters long. It is the branch of Treasure Tree Adam, which is regarded as best in hardness or flexibility and its toughness is above that of steel!

"The branch of the Treasure Tree Adam, it shouldn't be the one that was used to build the Thousand Sunny Go in the original work."

Looking at the branch of the most conspicuous Treasure Tree Adam from far away, his eyes flashed with suspicion, but he shook his head.

How can it be so coincidental, not to mention that it's the 11th year of Great Age of Pirates.

After Ross retracted his gaze, he found a place on the periphery and sat down.

Soon.

The timber trade began and the auctioneer in a suit walked onto the stage, first introducing a five- or six-meter-long crimson wooden stake.

It was the trunk of crimson oak. Whether it is used to make tables or chairs or sofas, it is very luxurious. Ross is not interested in this. He calmly listened as some nobles shouted, bidding for it.  

"Five million Berries once… five million Berries twice…"

"Deal!"

The man in charge of the auction delightedly dropped the hammer and began to introduce the second rare wood.

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed and occasionally there were some rare types of wood for ships but no matter the size or quality it was not as good as the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam. Ross just looked at a few of them before looking away.

Biddings for treasure wood of ships were comparatively fewer than furniture wood, as most nobles were not interested in wood for ships.

Finally,

One by one the all kinds of woods in the auction site were traded away and it was the turn of the last item. The wood was dark red and exudes an ancient aura.

"Finally… it's the turn of today's best item."

The man in charge has already been speaking continuously for a few hours and he was a little tired, but at this time he forcefully cheers himself up and waved his finger to the last piece of wood.

"There is an island that has experienced countless wars. Although the island was hit by a hail of bullets, and the residents of that island died and the city also changed into ruins, a big tree survived and stood tall."

"There are only a few such trees in the world and the most powerful of them is called Treasure Tree Adam! It's right! It's the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam"

"The starting price… 100 million Berries!"

As the suit-wearing man screamed out the word 100 billion Berries, the auction site was quiet and only some sounds of discussion could be heard and no one immediately bid.

The man in the suit was a little anxious and worried that the branch of Treasure Tree Adam would not be sold but finally, someone bid.

"100 million Berries."

It was a businessman sitting in the front row and he only called the base price.

"110 million."

Some people started to bid and all of them were businessmen. They all thought that if the branch of this Treasure Tree Adam were sold in the right hands, they will be able to easily earn more than 100 million Berries.

Several merchants started to bid on the Branch and slowly the price of Treasure Tree Adam's branch reached 150 million Berries.

This price has already caused many businessmen to retreat. The price is too high for them and the risk of reselling is too great. In the event of any mistakes, they will not be able to earn much.

"200 million."

Ross finally bid.

Suddenly raising the price from 150 million Berries to 200 million Berries, the nobles, and businessmen present were a little shocked, the price of 200 million Berries, for them is already somewhat unbearable.

At the same time, some pirates who wanted the Treasure Tree Adam branch but didn't have the money and planned to snatch it halfway also looked in the direction of the voice as they wanted to see the person who called this price.

"Is that person…"

"Ghost Hand Ross!"

When some pirate's eyes fell on Ross, they were shocked. Many pirates looked at each other and saw the fear in the other's eyes.

No matter which merchant and noble bought the branch of this Treasure Tree Adam, they all planned to let them go halfway before robbing it, but if Ross is the one who bought it, then the best ship wood is as good as gone for them.

Robbing Ross?

What a joke!

The water on the shore of West Blue is still bright red now!

Maybe some of them would dare to steal from Ross but it is definitely not going to be them.

In addition to pirates, those businessmen and nobles did not directly recognize Ross, but when they heard the people around them, they quickly reacted and looked different.

"The guy is a pirate, Ghost Hand Ross."

"Can a pirate even come up with so much money?"

The price of 200 million Berries itself is already a bit high and the bounty price on Ghost Hand Ross is also very high considering that he is one of the most dangerous pirates in the West Blue, they obviously have a lot to think about.

"…Ghost Hand Ross."

The expression on the face of the man in charge changed greatly.

There are a lot of pirates here, he knows that but he didn't expect a pirate to bid in the auction and he bid 200 million berries to buy the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam. There are too many unstable factors in this situation.

However, he also thought that The Happo Navy Of the Kano Country is in charge of the auction site and is fully responsible for it and he was relieved.

In addition to the merchants, nobles, and pirates, there are still some people that have been stealthily staring at Ross from the beginning. When they saw Ross bidding for the branch of Treasure Tree Adam, these people all showed different expressions on their faces and quietly retreated behind the crowd and disappeared.

One second…two seconds…

Except for some muffled discussions, the auction site remained quiet, no matter whether it was a businessman or a nobleman, no one bids again.

"200 million Berries, deal!"

The man in charge shouted a few times, seeing that no one dared to compete with Ross and finally took a deep breath before closing the deal.

At the same time as the hammer fell, the man responsible for the auction site immediately came to Ross to talk with Ross and invited him:

"Sir, please come here for the delivery."

"Good."

Ross calmly stood up and followed.

The people responsible for the order of auction site were wearing Kano Country's Happo navy special uniform. Facing Ross, they are very serious and vigilant. All of them hold weapons. Obviously, the existence of Ross West Blue is very high and they do not dare to let their guard down.

"200 million Berries, check it out."

Under Ross's signal, Robin opened the three boxes behind her and quickly took out 200 million Berries.

The person in charge of the auction was slightly startled as he didn't expect Ross to actually pay the price of 200 million Berries, but when he recalled that Ross seemed to have killed a lot of pirates these days, it was not a surprise that he has gotten so much money

Since he is willing to pay, then everything is fine.

The person in charge relaxed a lot and he smiled. He came forward and quickly counted the stacked Berries.

"I have counted, and there is no problem, the branch of the Treasure Tree Adam is yours."
