Chapter 147 Skeleton Brook
"Quickly calm down the expression on your face."
Nia suddenly spoke.
Their captain was probably hopeless.
This fetish is getting worse.
"I got a satisfactory New Year gift, why should I be happy?"
Rhodes happily grabbed the autumn water in his hand and didn't pay attention to Nia's teasing.
"Things stolen cannot be considered gifts."
"What you stole! In order to celebrate a young man like me joining the ranks of the Shichibukai, senior Moonlight Moria specially gave me the sword in his collection."
Rhodes said seriously, perhaps his words would be more convincing if he ignored the unconscious Moriah lying at his feet.
"Cut~~"
Nia curled her lips and did not continue discussing this topic with Rhodes.
"Speaking of which, how did you know there was a big sharp knife here?"
Nia asked.
Robin also cast curious eyes on Rhodes.
Whether before or this time, Rhodes has demonstrated this incredible intelligence ability more than once.
He seems to know a lot of hidden information.
But the people in charge of intelligence work on the ship were obviously Nailu and Robin.
"Just think of it as one of my innate abilities."
Rhodes made random remarks.
'I see! ’
Nia and Robin's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
They already know the existence of Haki, and they also know that after practicing Haki to an extremely advanced level, they can even "foresee the future".
In this world, in addition to acquired practice, there are also people who are born with the power of seeing, hearing, and color, and possess all kinds of incredible abilities.
Emotional perception, listening to your heart...
These things that sound incredible are just their innate abilities.
If Rhodes is also a person who is born with the awakening of Haki, then it is not surprising that he has such intelligence ability.
Perhaps, his knowledge can help him obtain some special information.
Rhodes glanced at Robin and Nia strangely, wondering what the two of them had figured out.
"Get ready to go back!"
"Leaving now?"
Nia was slightly startled.
"What if?"
Rhodes looked at Nia strangely.
"Although this place looks big, it's just Moria's pirate ship. There's nothing interesting. It's better to seize the time and go back to practice."
"I don't want it!"
Nia crossed her arms in rejection.
"Even if it's just an uninhabited island, I still want to walk here inch by inch!"
"I'm a little curious too."
Robin smiled slightly.
"It seems that some of the zombies that besieged us just now are famous pirates from the past. There may be some treasures left behind on this island."
"Pirate's treasure!!"
Nia's eyes shone slightly and she grabbed Robin.
"Is there a treasure map!?"
"I can only say it's very possible."
Seeing that Nia was indeed as interested as expected, the corners of Robin's mouth raised slightly.
If she simply said that there were some ancient ruins here that she wanted to study, I’m afraid Nia wouldn’t be so determined to stay.
"Then let's go hunting for treasure quickly!"
Looking at Robin being pulled away by Nia, Rhodes couldn't help but shook his head.
Nia’s thoughts are really easy to guess.
But Robin is the same. If you want to stay for a while, just say so. He is not the kind of unreasonable person.
It seems that the other party still hasn't completely let go.
Although Robin has joined the Rhodes Pirates and sailed together for so long, they even defeated the Aokiji some time ago, which can be regarded as untying Robin's heart knot.
But the habits she has developed over the years are still affecting Robin. She will not directly put forward any ideas or requests she has, but will use other roundabout ways to achieve her goals.
Perhaps only as time goes by and as everyone's relationship deepens, she will let herself go more.
Otherwise, prepare a New Year gift for her.
Rhodes immediately thought of Alabasta.
There, there is something that Robin has been pursuing all these years - the historical text!
Although I don’t know what is recorded on it, but as long as it is a historical text, it will be fine.
Crocodile, who was far away in Alabasta, suddenly felt a chill.
···
"Where is their control room? I want to study this ship!"
Gray looked far away, but couldn't tell that this was a ship.
"If not, you can ask him."
Rhodes suddenly reached out and grabbed the invisible Absalom.
"How is that possible!?"
Absalom looked at Rhodes with a horrified expression.
He originally wanted to enter the invisible state and quietly approach Lord Moria, and then make Lord Moria transparent when the enemy was not paying attention, and then rescue him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he got closer, the other party directly noticed his whereabouts and even caught him.
"Although I can't see you using the transparent fruit, I can still find your possible location through changes in the surrounding environment."
Rhodes threw Absalom in front of Gray.
There is definitely something about transparent fruit.
Even with his knowledge, he could not detect Absalom in a transparent state.
However, the opponent's basic strength is too poor. When acting, it will always affect the surrounding environment involuntarily. As long as you pay attention to changes in the environment, you can accurately find the opponent's location.
"Great, please take me to the power room of this ship. I'm really curious."
Gray grabbed Absalom and immediately injected a tube of unknown liquid into him.
"What did you do to me!?"
The cold liquid entered his body through the syringe. Absalom's face changed slightly and he looked at Gray in horror.
On the terrifying three-masted ship, there was a surgeon named Hogbark who was good at research and transformation. Absalom had also seen the surgeon perform surgery.
No, to be precise, he once lay on the other party's operating table and underwent transformation.
After the transformation, he had the skin of an elephant and the strength of a bear.
But even so, Absalom didn't want to recall the past when he was lying on the operating table. It was like a nightmare.
"Don't worry, I'm just worried that you ran away and injected some markers and trackers randomly."
Gray said lightly.
"The marker is colorless and can only be identified with my specific instrument. However, I was worried that your ability might invalidate the marker, so I put a tracker inside."
"The tracker cannot be recognized by the naked eye and cannot allow me to find your location, but all the bullets and shells I fire will regard it as a target and attack it unconditionally!"
"I won't run around!"
Thinking of Gray's artillery attack just now, Absalom's expression changed and he immediately promised.
"It's okay. This is my first time using a tracker, so it may not be accurate."
Gray looked at Absalom with burning eyes, a bit of encouragement in his eyes.
He seemed to be encouraging him to run away.
‘This guy wants to use me to test the effectiveness of the weapon! ’
Absalom instantly saw through Gray's mind, and without making any small moves at all, he led Gray to the core power area of the terrifying three-masted sailing ship in an orderly manner.
This ship doesn't have any great technology, it's just huge.
However, being able to drive such a huge ship safely without disintegrating is already an extraordinary thing.
"Just wait a little while."
Nia took Robin on a treasure hunt, and Gray also went to study the secrets of the terrifying three-masted sailing ship. Rhodes had nothing to do for a while, so he simply sat on the ground, put the autumn water in front of him, and tried to understand what he could get from the autumn water. Various perceptions.
As the sword of the great swordsman Ryoma hundreds of years ago, Qiu Shui has accompanied Ryoma throughout his life. He has experienced countless battles, and in each battle, he was tempered by Ryoma into a black sword.
Just holding Qiu Shui's blade, Qiu Shui's various skills in using it flowed in Rhode's heart. They were Ryoma's sword skills after thousands of hard trainings, and his lifelong understanding of the way of the sword.
The various mysteries and skills contained in it are definitely not something that Rhodes can absorb in a short time.
With the ability of [Knights will not die with bare hands], Rhodes can reproduce Ryoma's various sword skills while holding Qiushui in his hand, but once he releases his hand, Rhodes can no longer use these skills.
What Rhodes has to do is to absorb all these skills and transform them into something of his own.
Big Bear remained silent and stood beside Rhodes.
Although Rhodes and the others did not make any demands on Daxiong, Daxiong's heart was filled with gratitude when faced with Rhodes and his group who saved his daughter's life.
However, he has nothing to offer and is unable to repay the other party's kindness.
Therefore, Big Bear could only silently follow Rhodes and the others, try his best to meet Rhodes' various requests, and express his feelings in this simple way.
The same is true now.
"Yohohoho~~"
A strange laughter suddenly came, followed by a tall and thin figure walking slowly.
"I am Brooke! You are the one who defeated the master here and released my shadow, right?"
Brooke glanced at Moriah lying on the ground, and then looked at Rhodes sitting cross-legged over there.
‘Skeleton? ’
As the figure approached, Big Bear also saw the other person's appearance, and a trace of curiosity flashed in his heart.
Even he saw such a person for the first time.
When he was a child, he was captured by the Tianlong people and became a slave.
In Mariejoia, the holy land of the Draco, there are slaves of almost all races.
However, even there, Big Bear had never seen a skeleton like this.
Brooke walked closer, took off his top hat, gave a gentleman's salute, and then spoke to Rhodes in a very serious tone.
"Although Your Excellency may have only done this unintentionally, for me, this is an extremely huge kindness!"
"If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to ask me. I will do my best!"
