Water Island.

This sea is called the Water Gold Sea because of the names of the two largest islands here, one is called Water and the other one is called Gold.

Among them, Gold Island is the largest island, which is large enough to accommodate a country, while Water island is second only to the Gold Island, which can be measured between a medium-sized Island and a large size island.

Ross and Robin boarded the island and were walking down the street.

The street style here is very dark. Whether it is a pedestrian or a beggar who is kneeling in the corner, their eyes are fierce. Compared to Kano Country, which is still somewhat orderly, here is a pure disorderly zone.

Some of the Underground forces of the West Blue controls the situation here and the Capone Family was originally one of them. However, due to their heavy losses against Ross, their power has dropped and they have already withdrawn from here.

Bang!

Suddenly, a gun firing sound came from the front causing countless people on the street to show vigilant eyes as they noticed a thin man with a gun in his hand and a strong man lying in a pool of blood in front of him. He sneered twice and turned away.

“Sure enough, it’s a Lawless place.”

Ross’ said plainly as both Ross and Robin have been in the dark world of the Underground and these types of situations are nothing new to them so they were not surprised.

After walking for a while, they came to a busy street. Ross looked around and said, “Let’s gather information separately and come back here in half an hour.”

“No problem.”

Robin lowered her hat and gently nodded.

Although she rarely trains, Ross occasionally points out various methods to develop her devil fruit. Now she has no problem dealing with pirates with a bounty of 20 or 30 million berries and because of the special abilities of her devil fruit, she can completely ignore large scale battles.

Ross and Robin separated. After walking for a while, he saw a tavern in front of him. He put his hands in his pockets and went to the counter to order a glass of wine. He asked casually:

“I heard that Double Sword Pirates have appeared on this town recently?”

“Shh!”

Behind the counter, a beautiful woman was startled when she heard Ross’ words. After putting the wine in, she lowered her voice and whispered, “What do want?”.

Ross smiled and put two gold coins on the table and said, “Just want to inquire about it. It seems that you know something.”

The price of a glass of wine here is at most one silver coin. When she sees two gold coins, the women’s eyes suddenly started to shine and she showed smiled at Ross, She accepted the two gold coins without any hesitation. Then she leans slightly down and muffles her voice:

“They came here two days ago and fought with many people when they left. They killed dozens of people. The bodies were everywhere and It took a long time to clean them up. It was a group of terrifying guys… It’s said that even an entire Marine’s fleet was destroyed by them.”

Speaking of this, the women paused and looked at Ross sitting there wearing a leather cap showing only half of his face and whispered, “They seem to be recruiting people near the West Bank. It is said that one needs to have some strength to join them. You are not planning to join them, are you?.”

“Near the West Bank? Thank you very much."

Ross took a sip of wine, stood up and looked up to the women behind the counter and Slightly smiled before saying “As for me joining them… they can’t afford it.”

As his voice dropped, Ross turned and left the tavern.

The women looked at Ross’ back and her eyes widened slightly, as Ross stepped out of the tavern, she suddenly reacted and grabbed a stack of wanted posters beside the table and turned them upside down one by one and quickly pulled out one of them, looking at the familiar face she could not help breathing a cold breath.

The bounty of 92 million Berries…

Ghost Hand Ross!

In the past two days, the two most terrifying Pirates of West Blue have arrived on this island. Today, The Ghost Hand Pirates and The Double Sword Pirates are far superior to other Pirates in The West Blue.

If they collide, it would definitely cause a big event that will alarm the entire West Blue!

……

At the Separation point.

Ross came back here early and waited a moment before he saw Robin coming from the other direction. She came to Ross and lowered her voice and said:

“Double Sword Pirates are recruiting people at their large fleet stationed near the West Bank, Demon Sherrif Laffitte… It is said that someone has seen him in this town in the last few days.”

“Oh? Laffitte is here too?”

Ross looked at Robin unexpectedly and thought a little. Then he said:  “It’s just right that the normal people of the island hear that Ghost Hand Ross is confronting the Double-Sword Pirates. There’s no reason to avoid this big scene. Let’s go directly to the West Bank.”

Robin nodded as Ross thought exactly the same as her.

Ross flicked his finger and he pushed his cap down from the front and moved forward.

Almost everyone on the street is wearing rags and the atmosphere is depressed and dark, almost everyone is staring at the two people on the street, As Ross and Robin, who are dressed up in a different way are naturally the focus of their attention.

When Ross flicked on the top of his hat, he stared at various people in secret and he could hear shocked sound coming from many corners of the street.

“That guy is…”

“Ghost Hand Ross! It’s really him!”

Almost at the same moment, the atmosphere of the street changed dramatically. Ross and Robin walked forward and nobody dared to stand in their way. They all retreated back on both sides. Most people did not even dare to look at Ross for fear of causing trouble.

Compared to the Captain of Double Sword Pirates, who has been anonymous for many years, the name of the Ghost Hand that recently swept through West Blue is undoubtedly more awe-inspiring and fearful.

The streets became unobstructed.

Ross took Robin across the street and headed all the way towards the West Bank. Those who could sense Ross’ direction along the way could not help but think of something and stare at their back shocked.

“They seem to be…going towards the West Bank!”

What is there in the West Bank? Most people are very clear that the Double Sword Pirates are recruiting powerful people to board ships in the West Bank. Will Ghost Hand Ross is going to join the Double Sword Pirates?

The answer is no doubt a no!

It is rumored that the Captain of Ghost Hand Pirates, Ghost Hand Ross has always had the hobby of hunting the strong. West Blue originally had a large number of pirates with the bounty of more than 20 or 30 million berries and he killed most of them, So far, no new person has come up to take their positions.

Now that Ghost Hand Ross is heading towards the West Bank to find the Double Sword Pirates, His goal is already clear to most. He most likely regards the Double-Sword Pirates, which regained the first position of West Blue, as prey!!

“Ghost Hand Ross is going after The Double Sword Pirates? This is big news!”

“If they fought, the outcome is really hard to predict. One is a person who killed a Rear Admiral that was sent by the Marine Headquarters and the other person has been to the Grand Line…”

Many people looked at Ross’s back and murmured with a tremor in their hearts.

“I think that Ghost Hand Ross has a better chance of winning. It was a Marine’s Headquarters Rear Admiral that he destroyed recently and not a branch Rear Admiral that other Pirates destroyed.” Someone spoke quietly.

One person shook his head and replied, “Ghost Sword’s bounty is 98 million Berries, and this was three years ago, on the other hand, Ghost Hand Ross has never been to the Grand Line!”

Grand Line is known as the Pirate Graveyard. Many of the most powerful pirates in the East, West, North, and the South Blue couldn’t do anything in the Grand Line and they died there.

Ghost Sword entered the Grand Line and had a bounty of 98 million Berries, then he returned to the West Blue, His strength is undoubtedly terrible.

As Ross moved closer to the West Bank, even the Underground forces, who controlled the island, were shaken by the news.

For a time.

The eyes of the whole island are focused on West Bank

About ten miles away from the island, a Battleship slowly stops there

The highest officer of the Battleship, A Rear Admiral of the West Blue branch, put his hands on the guardrails of the deck and looked far in the direction of the island where only one black spot could be seen. His expressions are extremely tense and grave.

“Do we have eyes on The Ghost Hand Pirates and Double Sword Pirates…”

Headquarters ordered him to remain on standby here. Once there was a situation where both sides were wounded or one side died and one side was seriously injured, he would immediately appear and suppress both sides down so he could not help feeling nervous.

If he could finish the mission, He would acquire enough military credits to get him transferred to Headquarters as a Rear Admiral and it would not be a big problem to become a Vice-Admiral after a few years.

Although it’s shameful to watch Pirate kill each other and take advantage of their situation, history is always written by the winners. Once the mission is completed, it can be reported to the world that a Marine defeated the Ghost Hand Pirates and Double Sword Pirates.

……

On the West Bank of the island.

There aren’t many ships docked here, because there are three large ships at the dock that are comparable in size to Marine Battleship, all flying the flag of Pirates with two swords.

Unlike Ross’ elite route, the Double-Sword Pirates follows a fleet route, with a large enough number of people and large sailing ships to fight head-on with any general Battleship.

Naturally.

Although the number of pirates of the Double Sword Pirates is huge, not everyone can be recruited and at the very least they must have a certain level of strength to join.

At this moment, there are many pirates of Double Swords Pirates and many people trying to join them. In the middle of the field, a strong pirate with a long scar is standing.

“As long as you can take three punches from me and still stand, you can join us. Who else wants to try?!”

His hands were folded in front of him, his head held high as he stood there with imposing manners.

People gathered here looked at each other and soon someone came out of the crowd on their own initiative and put on a guarded stance, and said, “Will we really be able to join the crew by taking three punches?”

“Yes, my strength is generally average on board, so it will suffice if you can block my three punches… … It looks like you are ready.”

The pirate grinned and suddenly showed a fierce expression. He stepped forward and punched the man who tried to join.

Boom!

The man tried to block the blow by folding his arms in front of him, but the force of the punch was obviously beyond his expectation. Under the punch, the bones on his arms cracked and he flew backward, bleeding out of his mouth.

“What, so weak.”

The fist-wielding pirate saw this scene and he was very disappointed by the results and then looked at the others with a grin and said, “Who else wants to try it?” Our Double-Sword Pirates are going to the Grand Line soon. This is your last chance to join us!

All the people gathered here looked at each other for a while, and many of their faces showed fear. After hesitation, they retreated and did not go up.

Some people are eager to join the Double Sword Pirates, but the rule of blocking three punches of the pirate in front of them left them discouraged.

“No one?!”

The pirate stood there with an expression of discontent on his face.

Yesterday another man stood here alone, but there have been many people who have come up to challenge him. Today, it’s his turn and no one has come up to fight.

“As soon as they come up, you break all of their bones with your strongest punch. Only someone who has muscles for a brain would dare to come up.” Pirates were laughing and scolding at him behind his back.

“Ah? Is that true?”

The pirate grabbed his hair and showed a trace of embarrassment, but still forced his mouth to say: “The last punch was not my strongest, anyway I can’t help but use all my strength and that guy is not qualified to join us.”

Just as the group of Pirates laughed at each other, a sudden new crowd gathered behind the already existing crowd. A young man in a leather cap separated from the crowd and walked all the way forward.

Every person’s eyes quickly looked at him.

“Oh? Someone is coming up.”

Then the Pirate turned and looked at Ross, who was slightly thinner than he was, with his stout arms in front of him, he grinned: “This time I will not use my full strength.”

At the moment his voice fell, a bloodthirsty look flashed through his eyes and he swung a fierce punch at Ross, saying that he wouldn’t use his full strength, but the current punch is not any bit weaker than the previous punch.

Boom!

Just when many people thought that Ross was going to fly out by blocking the punch like the previous one, the pirate’s punch was slammed and steadily accepted and Ross only slightly raised his hand to block it.

“This……”

“Blocked?!”

The crowd of onlookers showed surprise. It was surprising that Ross, who was not well-built, could block such a heavy punch with one hand. Obviously, it was somewhat incredible!

Many of the pirates leaning towards the shore were stunned and they were surprised. They didn’t expect that anyone could block the punch of the big man so easily.

Quickly.

One of the many pirates stepped into the arena. He was a Double-Sword Pirates cadre in charge of receiving new members. Ross could block the big man’s full punch with one hand so he will be able to block the remaining two punches easily. Obviously, he was fully qualified to join them.

“Hey! What’s your name?”

“Ross.”

Ross responded plainly.

The cadres of Pirates slightly frowned, he thought that the name was somewhat familiar, but he grinned: “Ross? Congratulations, you can join our Double-Sword Pirates!”

However.

As he said this, suddenly there was a silence in the field.

All the voices seemed to be pinched, and if a needle fell to the ground at this moment it could be heard clearly. In this silence, the atmosphere gradually became strange.

No one was shocked, no one was envious and countless pairs of eyes stared at Ross in the field. Their eyes were constantly changing. Most of them were stunned as if they had seen something incredible.

There was silence.

“Did you make a mistake?”

Ross calmly looked at the Pirates cadre in front of him and said: “When did I say I wanted to join you, or say… Are you going to invite me as a Captain?”

In the past, if someone dared to say this many pirates will immediately kill him, but now with the strange atmosphere in the field, the cadre and the pirates of the Double Sword Pirates are also aware that something is wrong.

He looked at Ross’ face and his smile faded away. A drop of cold sweat gradually overflowed from his forehead and slowly flowed down to his cheek.

“You… you are…”
