OPTS- Chapter 108 Promoting Strength

Bounty of 300 million Berries!

Before Ross, the top Supernova in the first half of the Grand Line was a pirate named Bartra who had a bounty of 280 million Berries. Now Ross has surpassed him in the first half of the Grand Line of this era, he has a bounty of 300 million berries which made him the top Supernova.

In the first half of the Grand Line, a supernova with a bounty of 100 million berries read the new wanted poster of Ghost Hand Ross and he couldn’t help but blink repeatedly when he read the reward.

“Oh, 300 million, what a big deal.”

Sabaody Archipelago.

Another Supernova with a bounty of over 100 million berries, read the bounty order falling from the sky and slightly grinned:

“What a great guy, For someone who has completely angered the government and Marine and still lives to this day.”

“It is unfortunate that he didn’t meet us.”

A man next to him with a cigarette grinned and said, “But we’re going to the New World soon, let’s see if that guy can live till he reaches the New World.”

On a piece of sea.

Don Chinjao, a bald man in a blue cloth, touched his bald head and looked angry: “The younger generation man always runs around, but sooner or later this old man will find you!”

For the first half of the Grand Line, all the Supernovas which held the bounty of over 100 million berries paid attention to this news, because in the first half of the Grand Line anyone who has a bounty of over 100 million berries will be able to survive in the New World and they will have a chance to become one of the members in Yonkō (Four Emperors) Pirates.

Compared to it.

In New World, there are many pirates with the bounty of over 100 million berries, but not many people will pay attention to this kind of news.

“Ghost Hand Ross’s hanging bounty… reaches 300 million!”

“Don’t you say that he had disappeared from the sea? What did he do now?!”

Many people were shocked to find Ross’s bounty order, which changed from 200 million Berries to 300 million Berries. As the government tried to cover up the CP9 accident, the news of Ross’s defeat of CP9 in North Blue did not leak out. Few people knew the inside story.

Although there is not much news about Ross, the change in the bounty order has caused some waves on Grand Line and some forces who believe that Ross has been secretly dealt with by the government have once again focused their attention on them.

Compared to other Pirates, the Ghost Hand Pirates is undoubtedly regarded by the World Government as a bone spike, a stab in the flesh that has to be removed.

“The government and Marines will never give up.”

“They have raised the bounty on his head and I am sure that Marines will continue to chase to either suppress or kill the Ghost Hand Pirates.”

Never had a Pirates been able to shame the World Government and Marines several times before they entered New World.

Never had a Pirates been able to survive the first half of Grand Line and reach New World after outraging the government and Marines!

……

Ghost Shadow Ship.

After placing CP9 and others on a large island in Grand Line, Ross gave them the first mission, which contained two submissions.

First, to collect all the intelligence of Supernova pirate in the first half of the Grand Line, especially those who have a bounty of over 100 million, their location and specific routes.

Second is to collect all Seven Warlords of the Sea Intelligence data, focusing on location information as well.

“I will kill some pirates in the first half of the Grand Line but I need to hurry and go to the New World as soon as possible. Any future actions taken by the World Government will include CP0, or Buster Call, or a Marine Admiral will personally come out.”

Ross stood on the deck and murmured as he watched the rolling sea.

The exact existence of CP0 is not clear to Ross, but from the memory of Lucci joining CP0, their strength can be compared with a person who has eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit, they are the highest Battle power in the organization, Their strength will not be much weaker than a Marine Admiral.

Buster Call has 10 large Battleships, five Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral and at least ten Headquarters Rear Admiral, which are second only to CP0 and Marine Admiral.

As for a Marine Admiral…

The worst thing for Ross is to encounter a Marine Admiral, He is now strong enough to surpass the veteran Headquarters Vice-Admiral, but still, the huge gap between him and a Marine Admiral cannot be erased even with the assistance of the Proficiency Points he gained after killing Lucci.

Marine Admiral is almost at the peak of both body and Haki. There is no absolute shortcoming. Even Kizaru, which Zephyr calls its over-dependence on fruit, has absolute capital to rely on fruit, and the speed of glittering fruit is too terrifying.

“Unlike Luffy, can a year or two be enough to reach a Marine Admiral’s in strength…” Ross pondered.

His present situation seems to be at ease. In fact, it is at the edge of the cliff that he is likely to fall into the abyss at any time. If he wants to truly have the ability of self-protection, he must at least have the strength of a High-Level cadre of Yonkō (Four Emperors) Pirates or it will be even better if his strength is similar to a Marine Admiral!

Thinking for a while, Ross shook his head and called out the Talent System.

After killing Lucci, he had not used the 100 Talent Proficiency Points. Looking at the semi-permeable Talent System Interface, he thought about it and put 50 Proficiency points on Agility Enhancement.

Speed is his current weakness and shortcomings. If he did not conceal his strength and create opportunities to hit Lucci hard, even if he would win in the end, but it would be difficult for him to catch Lucci if he wanted to escape.

Lucci was a lot faster than him, not to mention Marine Admiral. If he meets Kizaru, he can easily play Ross on the palm of his hand by using speed alone.

Buzz!!

The golden light flashed and the panel of the General department changed.

Agility Enhancement: 200 (Top Level Strengthening)

Physical Enhancement: 350 (Top Level Strengthening)

After filling in 50 Talent Proficiency Points, Agility Enhancement rose from 150 to 200, crossing the threshold of Top Level Strengthening.

After a burst of heat flowing through his body, Ross could almost clearly feel that his body had become extremely light and that lightness had no effect on his strength.

Whiz! Whiz!

He lifted his foot and utilized Geppō (Moonwalk), he circled around the Ghost Shadow Ship and returned to his original place. His speed was at least 50% higher than before.

Such a surge will make up for the speed gap between Lucci and him in an instant, even slightly better than that!

If he fought with Lucci with his current speed then he would be able to defeat him in speed and he will not have any weakness!

The remaining 50 Talent Proficiency Points, Ross slightly thought and assigned 35 points to the Observation Haki and 15 points to the Distortion Fruit.

Buzz!!

The golden light illuminates from the bottom of the Battle Talents Tree and it flashes all the way.

Firearms Shooting: 50

Close-Combat Fighting: 100

Distortion Fruit: 405

Soru of Marine’s Rokushiki: 0

Kami-e (Paper Drawing) of Marine’s Rokushiki: 0

Marine’s Rokushiki’s Geppō (Moonwalk):0

Observation Haki: 50

Armament Haki: 0

Distortion Fruit’s proficiency breaks through the 400-point mark to 405 points, which fits in with the seven-month improvement in the Sky island.

As for Observation Haki, it also reached 50 points and it has soared. With his full concentration, it is easy for him to perceive the action of Robin who is taking a shower in the bathroom.

However.

He can only perceive actions and can’t see the full picture.

“I don’t know if I can catch Kizaru’s action now… but It should still be very difficult.

As Ross adapted to the improved Observation Haki, he thought and muttered to himself.
