Chapter 131: Concentrate on Practice

"I'll go back and bring Bonnie here!"

The big bear stood up and left impatiently.

Since Bonnie fell ill, he didn't know how many places he had been and how many doctors he had consulted.

This was the first time someone had given the answer that he could try treatment, and he would not let go of such an opportunity no matter what.

"We'll be on this island for a while."

Rhodes said to Big Bear.

This was a decision he had made after talking to Nailu before.

It takes some time for the partners to settle and grow, and this winter island with an extreme climate is just right for them to practice.

Moreover, now that the World Government wants to recruit him to join the Shichibukai, it should temporarily stop the pursuit.

This just gives them time to rest.

"Next, we can talk about you, Miss Chameleon."

Watching the bear leave, Rhodes set his sights on a petite woman with short light blue hair.

"I'm Martha!"

Martha wore a pure white overalls and a pure white plush coat, allowing her to perfectly blend into the island environment.

In fact, she blended in very well and hid it from almost everyone. Even Nailu didn't notice her existence.

However, her strength is still a little worse, and her luck is also a little worse. She was accidentally involved in the scope of Qing Pheasant's ability before. Under the coldness of Qing Pheasant, her disguise was exposed and she was killed by Nailu. Noticed.

"I'm not an enemy, I'm just a reporter!"

Martha raised her hands to show she was not a threat.

After discovering Rhodes and his group from Tiger Shark Island, she chased the Rhodes Pirates all the way into the Grand Line. Before that, she saw them destroy Whiskey Mountain, fight [Black Arms] Zefa, and defeat the underground world [Golden Emperor]. 】A series of actions.

Martha doesn't think Rhodes and the others are good men and women.

"So, those photos of us before were all taken by you, right?"

Rhodes took the phone bug handed over by Nailu and looked through the photos taken by the other party.

"Hehe~~ I carefully selected your most handsome and beautiful photos before publishing them."

"That's true."

Rhodes nodded affirmatively.

There is nothing to say about the other party's photography skills. The photos I saw in the newspaper before did take them very well.

"Are you from Morgans?"

Rhodes suddenly asked.

"I can't be considered one of his. I'm a freelance journalist, but I've only cooperated with him in depth."

Martha is very honest and answers all questions.

"However, if it's exclusive news from me, even Morgans will take it seriously!"

Seeing that there seemed to be some disappointment on Rhode's face, Martha quickly spoke to increase her bargaining chip.

"I can be your mouthpiece!"

As if she guessed what Rhodes was thinking, Martha spoke quickly.

At this time, don't think about the reporter's persistence and ethics, although she doesn't have much of that in the first place.

Martha glanced at the heart held in Luo's hand.

As soon as her whereabouts were discovered, the other party took out her heart.

"Alright."

Rhodes nodded slightly and threw the phone bug to the other party.

"I allow you to publish some intelligence and news about us. If there is anything special, I will tell you in advance; but in exchange, you have to make a name for me."

A glimmer of light flashed in Rhodes' eyes.

If you want to achieve world hegemony, you cannot rely on strength alone; you must also have the support of public opinion.

With the support of public opinion, even Baki can become the 'Four Emperors'.

"I understand everything!"

Martha put away her phone bug, and then glanced at her heart, which was still held in Luo's hand.

"that···"

"Don't even think about it."

Rhodes signaled Luo to collect Martha's heart.

"I don't have much trust in you, so just bet on my side."

Martha hesitated slightly, but in the end she didn't dare to say anything.

In the final analysis, she was just a prisoner captured by the other party, and it was good to be able to save her life.

"By the way, let's write two articles first!"

Rhodes changed the topic, moved closer to Martha, and patted her on the shoulder.

"I think the Navy will not renew my reward order in the short term. Please write two articles and give me a different name!"

"boring!"

After glancing at Rhodes, Luo turned and left.

He was now even more curious about the 'green jade scale' that Big Bear was talking about. Before the other party came with his daughter, he had to go to Kuleha to learn some relevant information and make preparations.

Nailu glanced at Rhodes, shook his head and left.

Although Rhodes decided to stay on this island for a while, this did not mean that their progress would also stop.

Compared to Rhodes, he has fallen far behind, so he must take advantage of this period to move forward faster.

It's just that at this level, it's impossible to be Rhodes' right-hand man.

And, it’s not just him, everyone else needs to improve too!

Next, Rhodes and his group occupied the original palace in a grand manner.

After Big Bear's verbal abuse, Dalton seemed to have figured out something and never led the escort team to look for Rhodes again. He also seemed to have forgotten that there was a group of pirates occupying the original palace.

They seemed to have forgotten that there was a royal palace in this country, and consciously turned the Drum Peak into a forbidden area. They only led the guard team to patrol the island and assisted the citizens to do some work within their ability.

However, every time Minina and her team went to the small town on the island to purchase supplies, they would be warmly received by the citizens on the island.

The people on the island clearly felt that their lives were better after the king was killed by pirates.

Luo had to take out most of his time every day to read medical books with Kuleha and discuss the treatment plan for the disease "Jade Scale".

Not only that, the 20 doctors of the former Drum Kingdom also expressed their willingness to join in and discuss medical plans together.

As early as two years ago, they wanted to change themselves because of Hiruluk and worked hard to study medicine.

Now that Wapol was defeated, they can finally speak out their ideas loudly and do what they want to do.

After so many doctors' discussions, although they have not seen the patient in person, Luo and Kuleha have already had a vague treatment plan in their hearts.

During this time, Neru took the others to start training again, just like when they were young.

The difference is that the place where they practiced this time was the winter island with snow all year round and cold climate, and they were carrying the super weight-bearing equipment newly developed by Gray on their backs so that they could better squeeze their physical strength.

"Our training ends here."

Pekin and Xia Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked towards the coast together.

They are devil fruit ability users. In addition to half a day of physical training with Neru every day, they also have to take out the other half of the time to develop their fruit abilities.

However, their fruit abilities are too vigorous, and every time they can only go to the seaside where there are few people to train.

"I didn't expect that I would have to work so hard to become a pirate."

Bakara wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Even she was doing physical training with them.

"If you don't work hard, you can't keep up with Rhode's pace."

Nia patted Bakara.

In the battle with Lucci, she finally really exerted the power of her devil fruit.

However, apart from the addition of a strange black flame, Nia did not find anything different, and her physical strength did not improve significantly.

However, when she was exercising, it seemed to improve more obviously than before.

This made her fall in love with practice during this period, and she followed Neru every day to the end.

"Huh - I want to participate in the next battle."

Genos exhaled.

As a mythical beast, his fruit ability gave him super strength, defense, and recovery.

However, it seems that it is precisely because of his strong recovery ability that conventional practice has little effect on him, and the improvement he brings to him is negligible.

Perhaps, only by fighting continuously can his ability improve faster.

"You should fight with me first!"

Nia turned her head and looked at Genos, with a flash of excitement in her eyes.

She likes to practice with Genos the most.

He is slightly stronger, can suppress the opponent, and there is no need to show mercy, no need to worry about hitting hard.

Such an opponent is great!

"Come on!"

The corners of Genos' mouth twitched slightly, but he finally nodded and agreed.

He didn't want to be the one who held back on the ship.

Not far away from the mountain wall.

Daz Bonis put his hands together and half-crouched in front of the mountain wall in a horse stance.

On his body, there were all kinds of weights.

'The power to cut steel! '

Daz Bonis opened his eyes slightly, and his eyes were calm.

He thought of the previous battles.

In the small garden, he was almost instantly defeated by the female navy.

Although his body became as hard as steel, the opponent was a 'swordsman' who could easily cut steel!

So, what if he could also cut steel?

Daz Bonis' mind flashed with what Rhodes said to him.

"The heart should be as calm as the sky, and the action should be as fast as lightning!"

"Listen to the breathing of all things, find the weak points, and then you can cut everything."

Slightly loosening his palms, Daz Bonis put down the weight on his body, and his right arm became a blade, his eyes fixed on the mountain wall in front of him.

Due to the long-term cold, the mountain wall is covered with a thick layer of ice, which is harder than steel.

If I can cut this layer of ice, I can also cut steel.

Daz Bonis touched the ice wall with his arm, closed his eyes slightly, and felt the breath of the ice wall in front of him.

According to Captain Rhodes, they will stay here for a while.

Before that, I asked Bepo to bring him rice balls every day.

Then, until I can feel the breath of the ice wall and cut it, I will stay here!

Daz Bonis sank slightly, and took a horse stance again, touching the ice wall with his arm, and feeling the breath with his heart.
