Three days later.
Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo led a fleet composed of various branches of the West Blue and lost in pursuit of the Ghost Hand Pirates. Four Battleships were destroyed and his life and death were unknown.
On this day, the whole West Blue was boiling.
"This … is fake!"
"Are you kidding me, even the Rear Admiral sent by Headquarters …"
Countless people held the newspaper, and all of them showed a look of horror and disbelief on their faces.
No one expected that the Rear Admiral sent from the Marine Headquarters would still fail to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates. It's hard to believe that this is just a West Blue Pirate group, not a powerful force on the Grand Line!
As the news spread, not only West Blue, but also some pirate forces on the Grand Line have received the news and paid attention to it.
A certain sea area of the Grand Line.
On a Pirate Ship of the Happo Navy, a fat old man in a green shirt with a lush and gray beard and a bald head was looking at the newspaper in his hand.
He is the twelfth generation of the Happo Navy, Leader Don Chinjao.
"Cai Yi's skill was inferior, so there's nothing to say about him dying at sea. However, he killed the next generation of the Eight Treasures Navy. This matter is unforgivable!"
He tore the newspaper in his hand violently, and his eyes seemed to be burning with anger. "Wait for me, little devil, I will find you sooner or later!"
On another sea.
A pirate with a bounty of 90 million berries held the newspaper and said, "Did he kill a Rear Admiral of the Marine Headquarters? There is a great guy in West Blue … "
Somewhere in a bar, a one-eyed pirate who was drinking and reading the newspaper grinned and said, "Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo, that bastard came to chase me before, I didn't expect him to die in West Blue."
"It seems that he will come to the Grand Line sooner or later."
"Who knows? But the Grand Line is not West Blue. It may not be a good thing to break into the Grand Line in such a high-profile way. It has attracted a lot of attention. "
In most cases, pirate forces fight each other because there is only one big secret treasure and there is only one Pirate King. Only by defeating all competitors can they stand at the top of the sea.
…
There were still two days before the completion of the new ship.
In the cabin of the old ship, Ross stood in the middle of six swinging sandbags with his eyes closed, his fingers clenched into fists and he kept hitting the swinging sandbags.
In the process of confronting Onigumo, although he comprehended and displayed Observation Haki, it was not stable and could only be regarded as a beginner. Only when he was fully concentrated and entered that special state could he display it.
Even if Haoshoku Haki is inadvertently awakened, it can't be mastered without a long time of training, and Armament Haki hardening is also something that requires a lot of fighting and training to fully master.
The same goes for Observation Haki.
Even if it was awakened in battle, it still required a large number of battles and training to polish it to the point of perfection and complete mastery.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As time went on, Ross was no longer limited to a fixed position but began to move gradually. He closed his eyes and weaved through a large number of swinging sandbags. His fists accurately hit the sandbags that were thrown at him and occasionally he sidestepped a few.
"In the previous Battle with Onigumo, I was always at a disadvantage in terms of speed. Otherwise, even if Onigumo mastered Observation Haki, I could avoid most of the attacks with my speed and agility."
Ross evaded the sandbags while recalling the previous Battle.
Now his speed has improved a lot compared to before.
Because the 40 Talent Proficiency Points obtained after killing Onigumo were all put into the Agility Enhancement talent. Now the proficiency of Agility Enhancement has reached 100 points, crossing the threshold of High-Level Agility Enhancement.
In terms of speed and reaction speed, he has almost doubled compared to before. If he fought Onigumo again, even if he didn't use Observation Haki, he wouldn't have to fight to the last extent to determine the winner.
In addition.
The improvement of Agility Enhancement brings not only speed and reaction speed, but also sharper senses and perception, which greatly reduces the difficulty of Ross's practice of Observation Haki.
With stronger senses and perception, Ross can easily perceive the existence of Observation Haki and constantly try to control it in the process of exercise.
What he wants is not to be used unconsciously or naturally in Battle, but to be able to use Observation Haki at will with his own consciousness.
Bang! Bang!
There were a total of twelve sandbags hanging in the room. As Ross walked, they were all swung by him. The size of each sandbag and the direction of the swing were completely different.
With the perception of Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, Ross accurately avoided every sandbag and his fist accurately hit every falling sandbag.
"It's still a little difficult to control this Haki at will."
Ross kept dodging and punching, enduring the bursts of fatigue from his spirit, until he could no longer perceive the sandbags coming at him and he stopped.
Observation Haki doesn't consume much stamina, but it consumes a lot of mental energy. Even Ross can only exercise intermittently.
But.
In these three days, with his own exploration and the main points recorded in the Observation Haki notes, Ross has gradually found the direction to fully master Observation Haki and the rest is unremitting practice.
Just as Ross walked out of the practice room and returned to his room, intending to have a drink of water and rest for a while, Robin's figure suddenly turned around the corner.
She came over with a newspaper in her hand.
"Captain Ross, you have occupied a large space in today's newspaper."
Ross took the newspaper from her hand and glanced at the part about himself. It was all official words, such as heinous crimes, being tried and so on.
"The government is still talking nonsense as usual."
He shook his head and took out a new bounty order from the bottom of the newspaper. Looking at the amount on the bounty order, Ross showed a slight smile and said:
"92 million Berries, finally, I am no longer a Captain whose bounty is not as high as a crew member."
Robin's bounty is as high as 79 million Berries, which has been higher than Ross's bounty before, and now it is finally in the right position.
Robin chuckled and said: "Captain's bounty will be higher sooner or later."
The new 92 million Berries bounty has also caused a violent earthquake among West Blue's Pirate Hunters.
Together with the Devil Child Nico Robin on board, the total hanging bounty of the Ghost Hand Pirates is as high as 171 million Berries. This huge hanging bounty undoubtedly makes countless Pirate Hunters jealous, leaving other pirates in the West Blue by a large margin!
But.
Even though they are jealous, no one dares to pay attention to the Ghost Hand Pirates.
