Chapter 253

Back to the Skeleton Castle.

Rocks walked all the way to the bottom of the castle. No one except him was allowed to enter or leave here. There were many pirates guarding outside.

Under the strict defense, not even a fly could fly in.

In the passage, the light was dim, and he went down the stairs.

Soon he came to a huge iron door. There was a video telephone bug on each side of the iron door, looking around with eyes open, transmitting the picture in front of the door to the monitoring room.

A moment.

The iron door slowly opened and Rocks walked in.

There were many rooms inside. He soon came to the door of a room and pushed the door open.

When Rocks entered the room, someone immediately greeted him: "Captain!"

"Why are you here?!"

The speaker was a woman in a kimono.

"Higurashi, I'm here to see if there is any accident with the Celestial Dragons." Rocks said.

Kurotan Higurashi said with a smile: "Don't worry, Captain. With the barrier fruit of Chanmaru, no one can rescue the Celestial Dragons."

"This barrier is an absolute defense, no one can destroy it!"

As he said this, he also knocked on the barrier in front of him that looked like blue glass.

It made a crisp "ding ding" sound.

Inside the barrier, a man in a kimono sat cross-legged, holding a pipa in his arms. The most peculiar thing was that his left hand always maintained a special posture.

In addition to him, the Celestial Dragons Egbert and his family were also inside the barrier, with their hands and feet locked by seastone shackles, and even their mouths were blocked.

"It's good that there is no problem. Hold on for a few more days, and then execute the Celestial Dragons, and it will be over." Rocks nodded. He came to see it just to make himself feel a little more at ease.

At the same time, he was also ready to think about the next plan.

······

After Rocks left, Captain John no longer stopped Slarda.

Slarda rushed to Ares and said with concern: "Ares, you have lost so much blood, go find a doctor for treatment!"

"The wound has almost recovered automatically. I look scary now, but the blood has just coagulated. It's okay now." Ares said, and turned to Slarda and asked: "Slarda, is there any news about Kata Ku Li?"

"No..." Slarda said with a low face.

At this moment.

A familiar shout came from a distance, which immediately touched the hearts of several people present.

"Captain Ares!!!"

Ares looked up suddenly, his face full of surprise, "Kata Ku Li!"

Ski and Slarda also looked over, and saw Kata Ku Li running towards him, with emotion and surprise on his face, and a little self-blame.

Soon.

Katakuri ran to Ares, biting his lip and whispering, "Sorry... I made... the captain worried."

"I'm glad you're okay." Ares smiled.

But his blood-stained smile immediately made Katakuri feel distressed. He blamed himself and said, "Captain, it's all because I'm too weak..."

"That's why you were kidnapped by CP0 and you got so badly injured..."

Ares reached out and lifted up Katakuri, whose head was hanging down, and comforted him, "I wasn't as strong as I am now. People become stronger step by step through continuous training and fighting."

"You will definitely become stronger in the future."

He was not good at speaking, because before he joined the Rocks Pirates, he was regarded as a madman by the people on the island and basically didn't interact with others.

He didn't receive much education.

After all, in this world, there are very few educational institutions, all of which are prepared for the nobles.

Ares changed the subject and said, "Since Katakuri is back, let's go drink!"

"That's a good idea!" The Golden Lion's eyes lit up. Speaking of drinking, he must be counted in.

Ares reached out and lifted Katakuri, put him on his broad shoulders, and said with a smile, "I heard Wang Zhi said that you have awakened the Conqueror's Haki, so you will become the king in the future, so you can't be so listless and without Haki."

"I..." Katakuri opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and then reached out to wipe the tears from his face.

Cheered up and said in Ares' ear: "I want to become stronger, strong enough to protect my brothers and sisters."

"Oh, by the way, your brothers and sisters are fine." Ares said, and asked, "How did you come back?"

Katakuri told CP0 about letting him go.

A figure instantly appeared in Ares' mind, CP0 Claude.

Afterwards, the group headed towards the Skeleton Castle and began to prepare for the dinner.

Ares also took the time to take a shower and change his clothesBecause of his large body, his clothes are all custom-made and very simple, with open short sleeves and shorts.

It is also mainly for his own training.

Arriving at the dinner venue, Ares saw Kaido and Whitebeard.

"Brother Ares!" Kaido ran to Ares, looked him up and down, and praised with a smile: "As expected of Brother Ares, your recovery ability is really too strong. I heard them say that you were seriously injured."

Seeing that Ares had no wounds on his body, he was relieved and took Ares' arm to sit down.

Whitebeard put his arm around Ares's shoulders and said: "Now you know the strength of Rocks, he is really strong, stronger than us."

"Well, I know, I can't beat him with my current strength." Ares nodded.

Whitebeard drank the wine bowl and grinned: "Kulalala... Don't be discouraged. With your talent and potential, you will surpass him sooner or later. To be honest, I was also surprised to hear that you hurt Rocks!"

"I haven't seen you fight with all your strength for a long time. I didn't expect that you can hurt Rocks now. You are worthy of being recognized by me, Whitebeard!"

"When I saw Rocks being blown away in front of me, I was stunned." Shiki said vividly: "I didn't react. I only heard a few sounds of broken ribs, and then I saw Rocks vomiting blood and flying."

Ares said: "Rocks's Dark Star is really strong. If I was trapped for half a day, I couldn't hold on at all."

Thinking of the power of the Dark Dark Fruit, he felt a palpitation.

Later, he slowly recalled that it seemed that Rocks's Dark Dark Fruit would only make his devil fruit ability disappear if he touched it with his hand.

Thinking of the Dark Dark Fruit.

Ares asked Whitebeard, "Brother Newgate, do you know much about Rocks's Dark-Dark Fruit?"

He wanted to know more about Rocks's Devil Fruit ability.

Whitebeard put down the huge wine bowl and said while pouring wine, "That is the ability of the Natural System Dark-Dark Fruit, known as the most vicious Devil Fruit in history."

Others also listened to Whitebeard's explanation carefully.

He took a sip of wine and continued, "But the Dark-Dark Fruit is a very special Natural System Devil Fruit, otherwise it would not be called the most vicious Devil Fruit in history."

"According to the information in the Devil Fruit Atlas, it has the infinite gravity of a black hole, and can also make people temporarily lose the ability of the Devil Fruit through hand contact."

"It also has a disadvantage, that is, it will suffer double the pain."

"·········"

Whitebeard also told everyone some of the information he knew about the Dark-Dark Fruit.

During this period, he had drunk seven or eight bowls of wine.

After that, Whitebeard said to Ares solemnly: "Rocks is a very cunning man. I think Rocks will definitely hold a grudge against what happened today. You should be careful."

Kaido, who had heard a lot on the side, suggested: "Brother Ares, since Rocks has cancelled your position as the captain of the squad, I say, just form a pirate group by yourself and let you be the captain!"

"That way you will be much freer!"

"With Brother Ares's strength, plus me and Slarda, forming a pirate group is absolutely impossible To be able to dominate this sea. "

Golden Lion Shiki sneered and retorted: "Kaido, things are not as simple as you think. Leaving the Rocks Pirates to form a new pirate group is equivalent to betrayal."

"Do you know the consequences of betrayal? !"

Whitebeard pondered for a moment, and he also agreed with the words of the Golden Lion, saying: "Shiki is right, and if you form a pirate group by yourself, you will also face the pursuit of the navy. The navy is still very powerful."

"Well, I don't have this plan for the time being." Ares said.

But he also had an idea in his mind, "Will the domineering color domineering be enhanced after becoming a captain?"

Ares himself was not sure. The domineering color domineering is a kind of power that cannot be improved through practice, but there is a voice in his heart, that is, the domineering color domineering is definitely a way to improve.

There must be a way.

······

After eating and drinking.

Ares returned to his room.

In the room.

He closed his eyes and began to think about his new training plan. The previous training plan was no longer enough.

After all.

In the battle with Rocks, he found that he still had many shortcomings.
