Chapter 122-123

Somewhere on the sea.

In the stormy Rainstorm, the Ghost Shadow s.h.i.+p was sailing through the wind and waves. Occasionally, a huge wave appeared and was immediately overwhelmed by a strange force that could not shake the s.h.i.+p.

No one knows how long the voyage lasted. The dark sky suddenly brightened. The storm Rainstorm disappeared in a flash. Looking back, it was still a strong Rainstorm behind. There was a very clear demarcation line with the center of this mild sea.

The sky and the sea seem to be divided into two parts here.

This kind of scenery is very different and shocking, but for Ross and others who have been sailing on the Grand Line for a long time and have seen all kinds of abnormal weather, this is nothing and they are just a little surprised.

"Well, you can see it already. An island."

Laffitte took a long telescope and looked straight ahead, clearly capturing a black spot at the end of the line of sight, which was an island.

After leaving the spring island, Ghost Shadow s.h.i.+p drove straight away from Oezi sea and Ross chose the next island, which is one of the most difficult islands in the chaotic sea, The Impossible Island.

This is a large island, but there is no country and it is divided between many forces. It is an island that often housed many pirate hunters and has various dark Underground transactions.

Ross stood calmly on the deck, looking at the black spot at the end of the line of sight. There was a wet deck under his feet, but his clothes were dry. All the rainwater slipped aside as soon as it touched his body.

"Captain."

Just then Robin came over and murmured to Ross, "There's a message from Kaku, One of the Seven Warlords of Sea Hawkeye Mihawk appeared on the Impossible island two days ago."

Hearing Robin's words, Ross's eyes finally fluctuated.

Originally, He chose the Impossible island as their next destination. He didn't plan to g after any prey, He just wanted to use it as a transit station. He didn't expect to meet s.h.i.+chibukai in this way.

And this s.h.i.+chibukai is completely beyond Ross's current goal. Hawkeye Mihawk, the world's strongest swordsman is not someone he could defeat even if he doubled his current strength.

"I see."

Ross nodded and threw the news aside, not planning to pay attention to it.

Quickly.

Ghost Shadow s.h.i.+p approached the Impossible island and stopped at an unmanned sh.o.r.e. Ross, Laffitte, and Robin boarded island, leaving Law and Xilu to guard the s.h.i.+p.

"Robin will follow me, Laffitte you can move according to your wishes."

"Okay, Captain Ross."

Laffitte has long been accustomed to such allocation of actions. He turned in one direction and disappeared on the island, while Ross took Robin and stepped into the island from the other direction.

Him being with Robin wasn't something special.

Compared with Laffitte, Robin's memory is quite good. The eight-year-old Archaeology has proved everything. Now she has memorized almost all the pirates that can be targeted. Any pirate they come across can be instantly recognized by her.

Her recognition abilities are much better than Ross. Today, Ross only remembers pirates who have more than 100 million berries bounties on their head and the various supernovas of the first half of the Grand Line, as for other He was too lazy to remember them and he depends upon Robin to provide all the information.

Ross thinks that he should develop Robin's talents very well.

"Impossible island… It's not far from the Marine Headquarters and Red Line, I didn't think there was such a mess here.

After stepping into a street, feeling the dark and oppressive atmosphere around it and the occasional dried-up bloodstains along the street, Robin lowered her hat a little and murmured.

"Its because it is surrounded by stormy seas."

Ross said, The Violent storm sea they pa.s.sed was part of a ring, wrapping the Impossible island in the center.

Because of the greater risk of storm sea, even Marine's Battles.h.i.+p could be overturned and destroyed so Marine and the government completely ignored this island 

In the dark.

Ross and Robin's figure attracted a lot of attention.

Accurately speaking, Robin's figure has attracted a lot of attention. In terms of stature, Robin is almost impeccable nowadays. Her slender waist and limbs are full of grace. Even if the eaves of her hat cover most of her face, she can't hide her temperament.

In this inaccessible island, Apart from the central bustling area, It is almost impossible to see beauty at the level of Robin, so when Robin and Ross walked up to the street, they quickly attracted a lot of attention from the people in the dark.

"Where did you come from? You walked out with a woman so blatantly…"

"It seems that there are only two people."

These gazes reveal a bit of greed and desire.

This is the impossible island, It is a place which is ignored by Marines and the government. Law and order do not exist here. There are only guns and gunpowder!

There are only two kinds of people who dare to walk in such a remote area with women in their eyes. One is a man of great strength and courage, and the other is a rookie who has no idea of what is going on here, who has just pa.s.sed through the stormy sea and landed on this island by chance.

So, which one is it?

As Ross and Robin penetrated the streets, their eyes grew more and more, but although they were full of greed and desire, they did not rush up towards them. Instead, they restrained themselves. They were still afraid of encountering the first situation.

Naturally.

The most indispensable thing in the world is the people who never think. After Ross and Robin walked for a while, some people came out of the darkness and followed behind them.

There were three people who slowly followed Ross and Robin from behind, They grinned as they pointed their guns at Ross's back.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

No one spoke. The three of them had a very tacit understanding between themselves.

It's foolish to jump out and say a lot of nonsense to a fellow like Ross. The least valuable thing here is human life. Whoever he is, kill him first and then say, even if he really has the ability, they won't give their opponent the chance to show it.

However.

When the gunfire stopped and the smoke disappeared in the air, the grin on the three faces suddenly solidified because they saw that the bullets they fired did not leave b.l.o.o.d.y holes on Ross, but hovered in mid-air at the moment they touched Ross's body.

Ross did not look back. As he stepped forward, he raised his right hand gently and snapped his finger.

Patter!

When the sound of finger-clicking sounded in the silent and dark street, the bullet hovering in the air suddenly turned and shot at the three men.

In the splash of blood, the three of them had a frightening look on their faces and they wanted to scream but they could not make any sound. They fell silently to the ground, blood slowly flowed out and spread all the way through the street.

Silence!

It was not until Ross and Robin disappeared at the end of the street that innumerable breathing sounds came from the darkness. The eyes hidden in the darkness were tinged with fear.

"The bullets shot back, there is no mistake…"

"Devil Fruit User!"

Although this is the impossible island on the Grand Line and they are all the lowest people on this island. They have all seen Devil Fruit ability many times, a Devil Fruit ability user is obviously not the existence they can provoke.

"This is really an unsightly place."

Walking out of the lonely street, Robin held the brim of her hat and pulled it down a little.

Ross also reached out and pressed his leather cap lightly, covering most of his face, and said, "This remote place should be nothing to care about. Let's go to Central Citytown."

Robin silently followed Ross.

After walking through a street the road gradually became wider and the environment also showed a clear change. From dark and dirty scenes, occasionally dried up bloodstains, it has gradually become a normal bluestone path.

When they came to this area, although there were a lot of eyes on Ross and Robin, most of them were swept away and only a few eyes followed them but they were limited to snooping.

Gradually.

Ross and Robin arrived in the Central City District of the Impossible island, where the environment became quite different from the border, with luxurious taverns or casinos on both sides, It was a lively scene.

The streets are flooding with people dressed like n.o.bles and gentlemen, walking with young girls in their arms, followed by many guards.

"Let's go there."

Because there is no exact intelligence and goal, He just wanted to see if he can find a valuable prey, Ross glanced down the street and walked towards a nearby casino.

Into the casino, Ross casually exchanged 10,000 Berries worth of chips and lost while Robin looked around with her head down and finally shook her head at Ross.

"Let's go."

Ross casually dropped the last bit of chips on the table, lost it and left the casino with Robin and went to another casino in the rear, which looked bigger.

This time, Ross didn't even plan to exchange his money for chips. He was planning to walk in and turn around if he didn't find any prey. Unexpectedly, in this casino, Ross found a very unexpected person.

"Is it white? I won again. I'm so embarra.s.sed."

An uncle with his eyes closed, wearing a lavender loose kimono and a beard is sitting on the side of a gaming table, one hand touching the back of his head, revealing a thick smile.

"It's him?"

Ross's eyes flashed as he watched the purple-clothed blind man sitting there.

According to the normal historical development, two years after Luffy went out to sea, this blind man in purple clothing will partic.i.p.ate in the world conscription and will be promoted to a Marine Headquarters Admiral with his monstrous-level strength!

Ross has already recognized him.

Issho or he will be commonly known as Fujitora in future!

Ross had thought about the Battle crew on his s.h.i.+p. Laffitte was good, but he could not afford a strong position. Fujitora was one of the figures Ross had considered, but now the problem is that it was too early to meet each other.

Although the other side's performance is to uphold justice and be kind to others, his style of action, whether it is the meteorite landing to deter Doflamingo or the fight with Fleet Admiral Akainu for justice without fear, reveals the arrogance of the strong everywhere.

In fact.

Any strong man has his own pride. It is almost impossible for him to attract Fujitora onto the s.h.i.+p without being stronger than Fujitora.

"Change 100,000 Berries into chips."

Ross indulged for a moment before exchanging his money for chips at the casino's front desk, He walked toward Fujitora's gaming table and sat in on an empty chair.

At this point, Fujitora had just taken over the chip that he had won and the dealer had handed over.

Robin was next to Ross and she also noticed Fujitora.

Even in a non-Battle state, Observation Haki can slightly feel a person's strength and Fujitora gives her the feeling that it is extremely heavy and oppressive!

It is like she is looking at a towering steel fortress, there is a sense of insignificance that cannot be shaken by any means.

This man…

Robin's eyes showed her cautiousness but she did not speak. She knew that if she could perceive the difference between Fujitora and her then Ross must have noticed it long ago. She didn't need to remind him.

When Ross arrived at the table and sat down, he exhaled and stared at the spinning wheel. He released his Observation Haki and began to capture the trajectory of the ball on the wheel.

"…Please Make your bet."

After the dealer turned the wheel, he waved to the public to place their bets.

Ross stares at the ball, his Observation Haki stretched to its limit, a moment later, he gently pushes a few chips.

"Black."

Fujitora, sitting on the other side of the table, caught Ross's movements, paused for a moment, pushed the chips out with a simple smile, and said, "I'll bet black, too."

As the rotation speed of the wheel gradually slowed down, the ball finally stopped and fell into a black grid.

The dealer expressionlessly took back the chips betting on white and delivered the chips won by Fujitora, Ross, and others, then turned the wheel again.

This time.

Almost as soon as the roulette had just turned and the ball had just hit two laps, Fujitora gently pushed his chips out.

"White."

"Great…"

Ross sighed softly, sure enough, Fujitora's Observation Haki was much better than his. He had not caught anything yet and Fujitora had already determined the final placement.

He paused for a second and he pushed his stack of chips to the white betting point.

The final drop of the ball is really white.

Fujitora took the chips handed over by the dealer's hand and showed an embarra.s.sed smile while touching the back of his head and saying, "Oh, It looked like my luck is good today."

Half an hour later.

Ross had 500,000 Berries in front of him and Fujitora had more than 900,000 Berries in front of him, they were surrounded by many people who bet with them.

The dealer's forehead has overflowed with a bit of cold sweat. Although Ross and Fujitora have not made many bets and they bet with a small amount but their successive wins have attracted countless people to follow their bets, leading to his loss here which is beginning to grow larger and larger.

"I'm very sorry, but we need to repair the wheel of this table."

The main people of the casino finally couldn't sit still and seven or eight people came over and prevented everyone from betting.

Just then, Robin, standing behind Ross, leaned over Ross and whispered something in his ear.

"The one who just came down from the second floor is Mogel, The Ripper' with 71 million Berries bounty on his head."

"I see."

Ross nodded as he looked at Fujitora on the other side and laughed, "Something needs to be done first, but before you go, you want to bet again. If you win, these chips will be yours. How about that?"

"Oh, all chips? I wonder how you want to bet?

Fujitora was gathering the chips in front of him. When he heard Ross's words, he paused a little and asked with both hands on the chips.

Ross tapped his finger lightly on the roulette table that was being taken away by a group of casino staff, then the table suddenly jumped up and fell between Ross and Fujitora.

"This……"

"What happened?"

Everyone was shocked as looked at the scene. For a while, they were somewhat at a loss.

Ross gently pinched the ball, threw it into the wheel, snapped his back finger and the power of distortion was slightly activated and the whole wheel moved rapidly.

"This way…"

Fujitora nodded and thought for a second. He pushed the chip in front of him and said, "If you try your best, I will bet on white."

Kāchā! Kāchā!

Under the action of the power of distortion, the whole roulette showed signs of fragmentation as it slowly stopped and after a few bounces, the ball finally fell onto the white grid.

"I lost."

Ross stood up and was not depressed. He pushed the chips to Fujitora, turned and walked out of the casino, smiling. "If we have a chance in the future, we'll have another bet."

"Well, then I will accompany you when we meet again."

Fujitora nodded and smiled and stood up while collecting chips from the table.
