Half a month later.
When Ross finally touched the edge of Armament Haki hardening for the first time, the Ghost Shadow Ship arrived at Berros town, which is the closest island to the Reverse Mountain in West Blue, also known as the Island of the Beginning of West Blue, and Loguetown in East Blue.
Although there are often pirates landing here, the arrival of the Ghost Shadow Ship at the port still caused a shock on the dock. As the number one pirate in West Blue, the name of the Ghost Hand Pirates has spread far and wide and has already covered this place.
"Replenish enough fresh water and food first."
When the ship docked, Ross stood on the deck and said to Laffitte and Robin and others, "In addition, get a Log Pose, which is a necessary item for the Grand Line."
"Understood, Captain."
Laffitte shook the red cane in his hand and smiled as he walked down the gangway and said, "As a navigator, I will take care of the Log Pose."
No matter how talented Laffitte is, he can even become a cadre of the Blackbeard Pirates. Now he is just a West Blue native who has never stepped into the Grand Line. He doesn't know much about Log Pose and the like, but with Ross here, he will certainly not step into the Grand Line unprepared.
"Go."
Ross nodded and handed over the task of Log Pose to Laffitte.
Robin smiled slightly and walked towards the gangway, saying, "I'll take care of the purchase of fresh water and food."
The two crew members took on a task respectively. Ross found that he seemed to have nothing to do. He was not interested in going ashore, so he sat on the Ghost Shadow Ship and waited for the two to complete their task.
At the same time.
The news that the Ghost Hand Pirates arrived in Berros town quickly spread to the Marine branch stationed in Berros town.
Boom!
The highest officer of the branch, Marine Captain Yukimura slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, saying, "The Ghost Hand Pirates are here?!"
"Yes … Their ship was found at the port."
Standing in front of Yukimura, Marine Lieutenant Commander was sweating on his forehead and asked nervously, "Captain, what should we do, should we surround them?!"
Yukimura also had a serious and nervous expression on his face. He shook his head solemnly and said, "No, I will report to the headquarters first."
As the Colonel of the branch stationed in Berros town, his strength was not comparable to that of ordinary West Blue Captains. Moreover, he would not be promoted to Rear Admiral of the branch. Instead, he would be transferred to the Marine Headquarters as the Colonel of the Headquarters.
But even so, in the face of the Ghost Hand Pirates who defeated and sank the West Blue fleet led by Headquarters Rear Admiral Onigumo, once a conflict occurs, he still has no confidence in winning.
Very soon.
The intelligence was passed from Yukimura back to the Marine Headquarters office in charge of West Blue, and the atmosphere in the office was depressed.
The people working in this office are all Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral. Onigumo was also a member of this office before and he was the most outstanding one. No one thought that he would fall in a place like West Blue.
From the initial disregard for Ross, a pirate transformed from a Pirate Hunter, to the chaos in the entire office. Now when the name of the Ghost Hand Pirates is mentioned, the entire office is in awe.
Doberman soon came to the office. Since the defeat of the West Blue fleet led by Onigumo, he has been personally responsible for everything about Ghost Hand Ross.
"Berros town … It seems that I'm finally going to step into the Grand Line."
Listening to the nervous voice coming from the Den Den Mushi, Doberman hesitated a little and said, "Colonel Yukimura, don't move for the time being, don't clash with the Ghost Hand Pirates."
"Uh … Yes!"
Yukimura heard Doberman's order and was a little stunned, but he immediately responded.
Almost any pirate that appears in Berros town will be surrounded and hunted down by Marines led by him. At least three or four out of ten pirate groups will be defeated by him in Berros town, but this is the first time that he has to stay still when he encounters a pirate group.
He also knows that with Marine's arrangement in Berros town, he can deal with pirates with a bounty of 30 to 50 million berries, but it is not enough to deal with the Ghost Hand Pirates.
"Since you want to come to the Grand Line, I'll let you in. I'll wait for you in the Grand Line … The Grand Line is not a place like West Blue where you can do whatever you want."
Doberman's eyes were deep as he hung up the Den Den Mushi.
He is not afraid of Ross coming to the Grand Line, he is afraid that Ross will not come!
If Ross stays in West Blue, it will be really difficult for him to get rid of him. No branch base in West Blue has the strength to annihilate the Ghost Hand Pirates, and it is not possible to transfer people from Headquarters or Grand Line. It is very troublesome to deal with.
But.
Stepping into the Grand Line is different!
Once he enters the Grand Line, he officially enters the area heavily guarded by Marines.
The military configuration on the Grand Line is far from comparable to that of West Blue. The highest officer of each branch base is a Vice-Admiral and his seniority is deeper than that of Onigumo.
Coupled with a large number of pirates that are more famous than the Ghost Hand Pirates, maybe Ross will perish on the sea before he can even reach the jurisdiction of the Marine branch.
"Notify the Marine branches nearest to the Reverse Mountain to stare at the movements of all the pirates that step into the Grand Line. Once the Ghost Hand Pirates are found, attack immediately and be sure to annihilate them!"
Doberman does not intend to give Ross any chance to grow.
"Yes!"
Many Marine Rear Admirals responded and dialed the Den Den Mushi of the branch bases to pass on Doberman's orders, and their expressions gradually relaxed.
First, Ross is no longer under their jurisdiction when he arrives on the Grand Line.
Secondly, the tyrannical military configuration on the Grand Line, even the pirates with a bounty of more than one or two hundred million berries have been suppressed. A mere Ghost Hand Pirates can't be dealt with in West Blue, but in the Grand Line, it's just a shallow wave.
… …
Berros town.
Ross naturally doesn't know about the actions of the Marine Headquarters. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He and Marines are waiting, waiting for the meeting on the Grand Line.
The pirates on the Grand Line with a bounty of 100 million, 200 million, 300 million berries, and even Seven Warlords of the Sea … For Ross, it's like a hunter walking into a hunting ground, looking at the prey from afar and grinning.
Those existences will be the cornerstones for him to climb to the top of the world.
