"The deck is collapsing.!"
"Quickly back off!"
The people of the Happo Navy watched as the cracks on the deck spread all the way to below their feet and panicked, they rushed back toward the rear. Some people even tightly held the guardrail at the edge of the deck.
Boo stood on the side with one twisted arm, and couldn't help but feel shocked as he watched the aftermath of the confrontation between Ross and Sai. On one hand, he hadn't expected Ross to equally fight with Sai and on the other hand, he was surprised that the aftermath of their confrontation was so intense.
Bang!
Finally, with a roaring sound, the power of distortion and the vibration force completely blew up and Ross' fist shook as he took a small step back.
Before Boo and the members of the Happo Navy could become happy upon seeing this scene, Sai's foot issued cracking sound of joints twisting and his body flipped over, falling down three meters away on the ground.
Crash!
At last, the deck could no longer sustain it. With Ross and Sai as the center, it started to collapse. Ross jumped and retreated to the guardrail on the edge of the deck. Sai also jumped with the help of one leg to the guardrail on the other side.
Sai's expression was extremely serious. Obviously, his leg that collided with Ross did not appear to be agile and it was slightly trembling. Although it was not completely broken in the previous collision, it was obviously severely twisted.
"Hasshoken that have been passed down from generation to generation in the Happo Navy seems to be pretty mediocre."
Ross had a slightly sour muscle on his arm. He looked calmly at Sai across the deck as he forcibly stretched his, dispelling the feeling of numbness by force.
Whiz!
Having withstood the aftershocks of Hasshoken technique, Ross leaped forward and rushed towards Sai leaving an afterimage with his speed.
"This guy……"
Sai didn't expect Ross to withstand the aftermath of his Hasshoken so easily. One of his legs still has no strength.
He lowered his face and stared sternly at Ross who had rushed towards him. He clenched his right fist and punched in the direction of Ross.
Bang!
When two fists collided, Sai's Hasshoken punch was obviously weaker than his leg attack and this attack is not as good as the previous one. Under Ross's punch, the guardrail on the bottom of his feet collapsed directly. His entire body was embedded in the wood.
Kāchā!
Sai struggled hard to get out of the wood. He jumped back trying to avoid Ross's second punch but Ross did not give him any chance and rushed up directly.
Whoosh!
Ross punched and his single punch suddenly turned into countless fists like an Asura with countless hands, as they fell upon Sai's face.
Sai was shocked. Although he immediately captured Ross' original punch with weak Observation Haki, he couldn't evade or counter it. He could only lay his arms on his chest and use Armament Haki on them to resist Ross' punch.
Bang!
Ross punched between Sai arms.
Even though the distortion force on his fist would be weaker when applied with Light distortion, it was a solid hit and Sai had no time to perform his Hasshoken!
His weak Armament Haki was obviously not enough to withstand Ross' power of distortion and the muscles of his arms were distorted by distortion force.
"Hiss!"
Sai suck in a breath of cold air. Even though he tensed his muscles and bones with all his might and retreated backward, the muscles on his arm still suffered severe sprains and bruises under the blow, and both of his arms immediately swelled.
Undoubtedly, the terror of Distortion Fruit was revealed.
Only a strong body and Haki are not enough to completely withstand the power of distortion, every time you take a punch you will be damaged. No one can resist it. It is very similar to Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit (Gura Gura no Mi ).
"This is bad!"
In the distance, Boo covered his injured arm and watched the scene with a sinking feeling in his heart and he ordered the members of Happo Navy who were next to him:
"Everyone attack! Kill that kid!"
"……Yes!"
Members of the Happo Navy were frightened by the fact that Ross was suppressing Sai, but when they heard Boo's order, although their foreheads were overflowing with cold sweat, they gritted their teeth and rushed up with all kinds of swords and artillery in their hands.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The disordered bullets flew towards Ross, and some portable cannon spewed fire, shooting cannonballs towards Ross.
Facing the bullets and cannonballs covering the entire sky, Ross did not retreat. Instead, his eyes slightly flashed, and he opened both of his arms and made a hugging movement in the void.
Buzz!!
All the bullets and cannonballs that were fired at him, had their flight trajectory strangely distort under Ross' region and shot towards Sai's head.
"Damn!"
Sai's pupils shrank and he tried to retreat, but one of his legs has not recovered yet and his arms had swollen big. His flexibility has already fallen to the bottom, and even though he can use a little Observation Haki, he can't completely avoid all bullets and cannonballs.
As blood splattered out in all directions, Sai's eyes widened and he held the guardrail of the deck, barely able to stand.
"Finished."
"I will give you a dignified death."
Ross calmly looked at Sai who was seriously injured and yet still standing. He drew out the Named Sword Happy Spring from his waist and step forward.
Chii!
Blood gushed out and Sai's body slowly fell to the ground.
___Silence.
All the members of the Happo Navy who were rushing up with knives, guns, and artillery in their hand froze in their place and the guns in their hands stopped shooting bullets.
The time seemed to stop. Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and there was almost an expression of horror and disbelief on their faces.
Sai is dead.
They, who had even campaigned in Grand Line, though it was just an ordinary campaigned. No one thought that Sai, the Vice Leader of the Happo Navy would die here, died in the trifling West Blue!
"You… you actually killed the Vice Leader…"
"This, if this is known by that person…"
In the silence, they didn't know whose voice was trembling.
Leader Don Chinjao has many descendants, but the most outstanding and the most he was concerned about is Sai. He has long planned to train Sai into the thirteenth generation leader.
Looking at Sai's position as substitute-vice leader of the 13th generation of Happo Navy at such a young age, everyone can see his position in the heart of Leader Don Chinjao. No one knows how Don Chinjao will react to this.
Perhaps the name of the man who has not traveled in the sea for many years has been gradually forgotten by the world, but how could they possibly not know, being members of the Happo Navy.
Don Chinjao The Drill!
Before the Great Age of Pirates, he was an existence that was able to move unhindered in the sea, with a bounty of … 500 million Berries!
"How could this be."
On the other hand, Boo looked at Sai's fallen body. His breathing was almost stagnant, and his heart almost stopped beating.
Thinking of the scene of his grandfather's anger and madness, the cold sweat on his forehead is constantly dripping, he is afraid that even he may get torn into pieces by the angry old man!
Boo looked at Ross' eyes, and his eyes flashed with horror, fear, disbelief and so on.
"You are finished…"
"It wouldn't matter even if you hide in the Grand Line."
"You will be chased to the ends of the earth by him…"
Chii!
A sword light flashed and Boo's voice stopped abruptly.
Ross gently pulled out the tip of his sword and blood gushed out along the edge of the sword. He looked straight ahead and didn't look at Boo's fallen body. He spoke calmly:
"If someone wants to kill me then let him come."
"How can anyone who fears neither the Marines nor the world's governments be afraid of an old man who has become rusted with time?"
After killing Sai and Boo in succession, even though Ross has spent a lot of stamina, he still has more than enough to deal with the remaining Happo Navy members.
As Sai and Boo were hidden under the reputation of Happo Navy and Leader Don Chinjao, the bounty of 30 million Berries and 20 million Berries respectively was only symbolic. They gave Ross 10 points of Talent Proficiency as a reward.
The whole ship was on the verge of crumbling after the big battle, but Ross searched it before the ship completely collapsed.
To Ross' surprise, he got an unexpected surprise as he chose to not immediately destroy the ship, and instead chose to search it.
"Observation Haki's training notes…"
Sitting in his cabin, Ross looked at the notes which were less than two pages long in his hand with a glimmer of joy in his eyes.
He didn't know whose notes these were, but there is no doubt that these notes will come in handy for him now.
He must possess the power of Haki in this world. Although he knows the existence of Haki, he does not know the specific method to practice it. Now, the training method is in his hands.
If he can comprehend Observation Haki on his own by these notes then he can save 1 Free Talent Point in the Talent System.
The only regrettable thing is that the notes on the practice of Armament Haki's were not found.
"Observation Haki, the sixth perception ability, which is independent of the other five senses is a strong ability which is able to predict attacks from enemies outside the line of sight. The main points of its training are…"
Looking at the two pages in his hand, Ross concentrated his thoughts and showed a serious and thoughtful look in his eyes.
Strictly speaking.
These two pages only contain main points of Observation Haki and not a complete practice method but because Ross has a certain understanding of the power of Observation Haki, with these main points, he is able to explore and derive the complete practice direction.
After carefully reading the two pages of notes, Ross remembered them all. After a moment of contemplation, he walked into his training room and began to transform the environment of the room.
Quickly.
Ross hung many ropes from the ceiling of his room and various ball-shaped sandbags of different sizes hung below them.
This is the environment layout of a practice room that was previously found on the Happo Navy ship. It is obviously used to practice Observation Haki and Ross has recreated it in his own ship.
"Observation Haki and Armament Haki are a potential force that everyone has and they are qualified to practice it once they are strong enough."
After arranging the room, Ross went to the center of the room and stood. After recording the positions of the sandbags around him, he closed his eyes and tried to concentrate all his energy and attention. Then he suddenly attacked and hit the nearest four sandbags causing them to fly out.
Whirl! Whirl!
Four sandbags suspended by ropes in the air were flying out. Because of the different sizes and the force and time of Ross' hitting, the trajectories of the four sandbags were all different. Some even hit other sandbags.
Bang! Bang!
Ross listened to the sounds coming from sandbags, He closed his eyes and punched two sandbags coming at him causing them to fly back, but he was hit in the head by the other two sandbags because of his inaccurate judgment.
"It's very difficult to judge an attack without relying on vision."
Ross opened his eyes and looked at the four sandbags swinging around. Then he closed his eyes again. "Let's start with these four sandbags."
Although there are only main points of training Observation Haki's and no specific method on the notes, it is not difficult for Ross to figure out the basic practice method, direction, and route according to the layout of the room seen on the Happo Navy ship.
Bang! Bang!
Ross closed his eyes, punched again and hit the four sandbags causing them to flew out, then he concentrate on perceiving the flight trajectory of the four sandbags.
He punched out four times and this time was a little better than the last time. He punched out four times and hit three sandbags, but these three punches are not hit in the right position, there is some deviation.
"It's coming back again."
Ross opened his eyes for a moment and closed them again.
Ross again threw four punches and hit three sandbags. As he gradually adapted to this exercise method, this time he was more precise than last time.
After training for a while, Ross thought of the 10-points of Talent Proficiency he acquired when he killed Sai and Boo.
"The promotion of Agility Enhancement should also be helpful in practicing the Observation Haki."
He called the Talent System and put these 10 points of proficiency to Agility Enhancement. The total proficiency of Agility Enhancement has reached 60.
The improvement brought by Agility Enhancement is not only speed but also response time and more sensitive perception.
These 10 points of Talent Proficiency went up, giving Ross the feeling that a part of weight has been lifted from his body and his body became much lighter.
"Continue."
After adapting to the changes of his body, Ross exhaled and continued to hit the sandbags, practicing Observation Haki.
Kano Country.
Two Battleships were docked at the dock on the South Bank, while the many Pirate Ships on the South Coast had already dispersed and disappeared.
"Only wreckage remains of the Happo Navy Ship?"
Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo stood on the deck and shook his head as he listened to the report by his subordinates Marine.
Happo Navy is the official Pirates of the Kano Country, They are similar to Shichibukai, as they are generally not pursued by Marines.
As one of the subordinate countries of the world government, Kano Country has some connections with Marines. Before that, he had contacted the top authority of Kano Country to let them stop Ghost Hand Ross.
But he didn't expect Ross to easily leave.
"Sure enough, pirates are unreliable."
Onigumo eyes showed a trace of indifference.
A Marine Captain next to Onigumo frowned and whispered: "Rear Admiral, what are we going to do next? Ghost Hand Ross has destroyed the Happo Navy ship, Happo Navy will certainly not give up "
Onigumo snorted coldly and said: "You want to say that we watch at the side and let them deal with him? What else our navy could do if we can't even catch up to him. We can't let this situation continue or we will lose our standing in the Headquarter.
"Yes."
The Captain who was reprimanded bowed his head.
Onigumo looked at the sea in the distance and a cold light flashed lightly in his eyes. He said: "That fellow bought a branch of Treasure Tree Adam. He should be planning to build a new ship. Most likely he is going to the Shipwright Town. Unfortunately, I will not give him the opportunity to ride on his new ship!"
"Relay my orders, each branch's Battleship will divert their course, the target is Shipwright Town, and completely destroy the Ghost Hand pirates."
