Marine Headquarters Medical Building.
In a separate room in the high-rise ward, a man who lost his right arm and was wrapped in bandages was sitting quietly by the window, holding a newspaper in his hand.
He is Headquarters Vice-Admiral Doberman.
After the Battle of Spring Island, he was seriously injured. Despite the emergency treatment by the accompanying ship doctor on Battleship, he had to amputate one of his arms and because the internal and external injuries were too serious, it can be said that he almost lost his future combat ability.
Because of this, the serious defeat, Marine Headquarters did not issue any substantial punishment to him, and even his Vice-Admiral rank, which was on the verge of being stripped, was retained for him.
Standing next to Doberman was a colonel from the headquarters.
"… The above is all the notice from Headquarters for you. You can stay in Headquarters to deal with documents or you can choose to be an instructor in the recruit camp."
The Headquarters Captain looked at Doberman with some concern. He knew Doberman's situation and knew that Doberman had lost his ability to fight. In the future, he would at most review documents and teach recruits, so he was worried that Doberman would not be able to bear the result.
Doberman, who was sitting by the window, did not know whether he heard it or not. He just held the newspaper in one hand, and as he read it, his fingers were constantly squeezed, and one end of the newspaper was squeezed into a ball.
In that newspaper, it was printed about the duel between Hawkeye and Carlos and the news that Ross killed the Legendary Pirate Leader Don Chinjao.
"Vice-Admiral …"
The Headquarters Captain standing by said worriedly, he was worried that Doberman would not be able to accept it.
He also knew about Ross. At first, he was just a nobody in East Blue, but he rose all the way and eventually made Doberman pay a heavy price for it. Even if this kind of thing happened to him, he may not be able to accept it.
"Ok."
Doberman took a deep breath and suddenly let go of the newspaper and put it aside. He said, "I see. You go back and report for me. Just say that I am willing to stay in Headquarters to deal with documents."
"Vice-Admiral?!"
The Headquarters Captain showed a hint of surprise. He knew Doberman's style very well. He was tough and iron-blooded and believed in strength and absolute justice. He did not expect that after losing his power, Doberman could still accept the clerical job of dealing with documents.
Doberman smiled faintly and said, "I can't fight anymore. I have experienced and seen more than you can imagine. You can go."
"Yes."
The colonel nodded, saluted, and left the room.
After he left, the expression on Doberman's face gradually changed. Although he still had a faint smile on his face, it became more and more ferocious. In the end, it turned into a trace of madness.
"Such an ending, hehehehe …"
He let out a few creepy sneers, grabbed the newspaper, and stared at the article about Ross.
Losing his power is more painful than death for him, but he will not choose to die because he wants to see Ross's fate worse than his!
"I'll be watching."
"Pirate Ross."
Having confronted Ross head-on, plus all the information about Ross, he is very clear about Ross's character and he is definitely not a person who is willing to submit to others.
Arrogant! Proud and aloof!
Even if he is lucky enough to escape Marine's encirclement and enter New World, he will face a situation where the sea is filled with enemies and he will be squeezed between Marine and Yonkō (Four Emperors).
He will watch, watch Ross be defeated by Marine and taken to Impel Down, or be defeated by Yonkō (Four Emperors) and killed by Yonkō (Four Emperors) in despair. Until then, he will live no matter how painful it is. He will never die until he sees Ross's final end!
… …
Impossible island.
After defeating Leader Don Chinjao and killing him, Ross and Robin returned to the Ghost Shadow Ship, leaving Laffitte alone on the island to act freely until Log Pose's magnetic reserve is full.
Leader Don Chinjao's bounty at his peak was as high as 580 million Berries, and after hunting Don Chinjao, Ross's reward was also in the magnitude of 580 million Berries, which did not decrease because Don Chinjao's head was bald by Garp.
1 Free Talent Point!
120 Talent Proficiency Points!
It's even higher than Ross's previous reward for defeating a Marine Vice-Admiral.
These 120 Talent Proficiency Points, after a little thought, Ross made a choice and filled 50 of them into the Physical Enhancement of the General Department.
The General Department's Talent Tree flashed with golden light and some changes took place.
Agility Enhancement: 200 (Top Level Strengthening)
Physical Enhancement: 400 (Top Level Strengthening)
Tenacious: 50 (Mid-Level Strengthening)
A warm current emerged from Ross's body, strengthening his body, disappearing after a few seconds, and his Physical Enhancement also broke through 400 points, which is very close to the Maximum Value of 500 points.
The remaining 70 Proficiency Points, Ross was a little hesitant. After a while of hesitation, he finally chose to add 50 Proficiency Points to Armament Haki.
The 15 Proficiency Points he got from killing Ripper Mogul were all put into Distortion Fruit. The power of distortion has been enhanced by a lot, plus 20 points, the improvement is enough.
And.
Today, he has been able to combine Armament Haki and the power of distortion almost perfectly, and the improvement of Armament Haki is also not weak.
The most important point is that if he meets Marine again, there is a great possibility that he will be a Marine Admiral. Today's three Marine Admirals, Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu, are the top Logia powerhouses.
His Armament Haki can deal with Smoker and Crocodile, but in the face of such a top powerhouse, it will be dwarfed. Even if it can be combined with the power of distortion, it may not be able to hurt the opponent's entity.
In the War of the Best, Undead Marco and Flower Sword's Vista of the Whitebeard Pirates joined forces and used Haki, but they failed to cause any damage to each other after hitting Akainu.
Looking at the entire War of the Best, Whitebeard is the only one who can cause substantial damage to Akainu!
Buzz!!
The golden light flashed, and the branch of Armament Haki, which had been ignored by Ross, finally got proficiency points.
50 Talent Proficiency Points, which just pushed Armament Haki to Mid-Level Strengthening, directly improved Ross's Armament Haki by a lot!
"Armed!"
In the practice room, looking at the square iron block in front of him, Ross clenched his right fist, Armament Haki suddenly condensed, turned into a dark hardened color, and then punched.
Bang!
His fist hit the square iron block, and there was a roar in an instant. Even though the soundproof effect of the training room was excellent, it still echoed in all corners of the Ghost Shadow Ship.
This punch directly hit the iron block and left a deep fist mark.
"It should be a little worse than Don Chinjao, but it's not too much."
Recalling the strength of Don Chinjao's Armament Haki and comparing it in his mind, Ross nodded slightly. This level of Armament Haki is a little bit of capital to fight against an Admiral.
The last 20 points were naturally placed on the Distortion Fruit.
Firearms Shooting: 50
Close-Combat Fighting: 100
Distortion Fruit: 480
Soru of Marine's Rokushiki: 0
Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marine's Rokushiki: 0
Marine's Rokushiki's Geppō (Moonwalk): 0
Observation Haki: 50
Armament Haki: 50
