"…"
Looking at the islands, Ross's eyes twinkled and he was silent for a while.
Golden Lion's bounty at that time was also extremely high. Although the bounty was eliminated after he was caught in Impel Down, after he escaped from prison, his bounty was reinstated. Although it was not as high as before, it still reached 1.7 billion!
1.7 billion bounty!
If he can kill Golden Lion, the Talent Point reward he will get is enough to improve his strength by a lot, but the problem is that Golden Lion's strength fully corresponds to this bounty!
He encountered Luffy's group and was defeated by the aura. Before Golden Lion escaped from prison, he was able to break into the Marine Headquarters alone and fought with Garp Sengoku who was at his peak, destroying nearly half of the Marine Headquarters.
Even if he broke his legs in order to escape from prison and his brain became abnormal, his strength will not decline too much, at least he can maintain the level of a Marine Admiral!
"Not easy to deal with."
Ross pondered for a moment and gave such an evaluation in his heart. Golden Lion Shiki is not in the scope of his prey for the time being.
But just as Ross's ship continued to fly up and was about to separate from Golden Lion's island, a figure broke through the clouds and came quickly.
"Someone is coming!"
"Very fast."
Laffitte and others were aware of the figure rushing over and they were on guard. Almost at the next moment, the figure crossed an arc and landed on the deck of the ship.
"Hahahaha … It's a good ability to make the ship fly. Who is your Captain?" Golden Lion, who landed on the ship, grinned with a cigar in his mouth.
Although he didn't show anything like Haoshoku Haki, the momentum belonging to the legendary pirate was also revealed in an instant, making Kaku and others feel heavy breathing.
Looking at Golden Lion who came uninvited, Ross stood there with a calm look in his eyes.
"I'm the Captain. Unfortunately, there are no drinks on board to entertain you, Golden Lion."
"…"
Golden Lion looked at Ross and narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he has been staying in the sky, he is not ignorant of things at sea. Ross, who has a bounty of 1 Billion Berries, is enough to enter his eyes. When he saw Ross, he recognized him.
He thought he was a nobody, but he didn't expect him to be a famous pirate. This is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for him, and his heart of recruiting is heavier, and Ross can call out his name, it seems that he is also not ignorant of him.
"Your name is Ghost Hand Ross … Jie Ha ha ha ha, how about joining the Flying Pirates?!"
After staring at Ross for a while, Golden Lion suddenly grinned and his eyes showed a touch of arrogance. He raised a hand and clenched his fist in front of him and said, "If you join forces with me, this sea will be ours sooner or later!"
Since he was imprisoned in the Impel Down, most of his former subordinates had dispersed, and now there were only a few who were still following him. He was in a state of loneliness, and he didn't even have a single subordinate who could fight.
A pirate with a bounty of 1 Billion Berries, regardless of strength or fame, is qualified to join his pirate group and can become a sharp sword in his hand!
"Controlling the sea is really what I want to do, but …"
Ross's eyes were calm and even under the momentum brought by Golden Lion, there was no change in his expression. He said, "I'm not interested in being someone else's subordinate."
"Hey."
Hearing Ross's clean refusal, Golden Lion suddenly snorted, put down his fist, raised his head slightly and said, "Although I haven't paid attention to the sea for a long time, I still know a little bit about it. Do you think you can defeat those Yonkō (Four Emperors) with your words?!"
For Golden Lion, except for Whitebeard and him, the others among Yonkō (Four Emperors) rose much later than him, and in his eyes, they are naturally juniors.
"How will I know if I don't try."
Ross responded calmly.
Golden Lion stared at Ross and suddenly looked up and laughed. A 'Jie Ha Ha Ha Ha' sound echoed in the clouds. At the same time, a violent and chaotic momentum swung in all directions.
Haoshoku … Haki!
Almost in an instant, the nearby clouds were violently affected, like a whirlpool being stirred up, it was as if the sky and the earth were discolored!
This Haoshoku Haki is far from comparable to Don Chinjao. Fukuro and Kalifa and others fainted directly. Blueno barely did not faint, but his breathing was stagnant and his forehead was overflowing with cold sweat.
As for Kaku, Jabra, and Robin, they are all under great pressure.
Only Laffitte can still keep a little calm. As for Ross, he is still standing there with a calm look.
"Haoshoku Haki …"
Feeling the subtle vibration and oppression from the surface of his body, Ross murmured in his heart. This is the second time he has encountered Haoshoku Haki.
Looking at Ross and others, Golden Lion gradually stopped laughing and slowly floated up, looking down at Ross.
"It's good to have this kind of courage, but courage alone is not enough. Without enough strength, it's just empty talk!"
Even Golden Lion himself is very sure that he can't beat Whitebeard in a one-on-one fight, and he naturally scoffs at Ross's' arrogant 'attitude.
However, he understood the mentality of a newcomer like Ross who had just risen. It was normal for him to be arrogant and conceited. Only by experiencing failure and the gap between him and the real strong could he restrain his arrogance.
"Experience the gap, Ghost Hand Boy!"
He flew to a place about tens of meters high from the ship and his eyes became as calm as water. He raised one leg and swept it violently. The Famous Sword (Deadwood), which replaced his calf, suddenly burst out with a terrifying sword energy and cut across the ship directly below.
This sword energy is much stronger than the Vice-Admiral Ross has encountered. The only one who can match it in his impression is the World's Greatest Swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk!
No doubt.
Golden Lion is also a Great Swordsman who stands at the top of the Swordsman!
The purpose of this sword is not to destroy Ross and others, it is just to come to the ship, trying to make Ross realize the gap between him and the strong, to make him rise in the heart of submission.
But.
Surrendering to the strong or something, such a mentality does not exist in Ross's mind from the beginning. Will a person who plays a game surrender to an NPC in the game?
The answer is, of course, no!
Whiz!
Almost at the moment when Golden Lion launched his attack, Ross flew into the air, his eyes were calm and indifferent, and he suddenly punched out towards the sword energy.
This kind of Great Swordsman level attack, with his current power of distortion, can't be kneaded into a ball, but this does not prevent Ross from breaking it with his strength!
Bang!
The huge golden sword energy collided with Ross's fist, as if a golden crescent was rapidly cutting steel, and the golden light splashed everywhere.
The two forces were in a stalemate for about a second. The huge golden sword Qi was unable to maintain its perfect arc. It twisted and collapsed from the middle, scraping the sides of the ship and falling into the clouds below, cutting a white cloud into two.
Ross floated in the air and looked up at Golden Lion in the sky, slowly retracting his fist, his eyes calm.
"The gap is made to be caught up."
"Tsk … …"
Golden Lion was a little surprised that Ross was able to block his attack, but he still snorted. The stronger Ross is, the more strength he can gain by becoming his subordinate.
He waved his legs again and kicked in the void, sweeping out seven or eight golden sword energies in an instant, like a storm, they fell head-on towards Ross without any intention of holding back.
