One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 135 Enemies meet
On the edge of the cliff, Rhodes looked ahead with a hint of distress.

Big Bear also rejected the suggestion of injuring himself directly, which made Rhodes' plan to block the BUG fail.

Although his golden finger can make him stronger after recovering from injury, it is not without limits.

Only injuries that exceed the upper limit of his body's tolerance will make his body stronger after recovery.

However, if you deliberately lower your body's defenses and allow yourself to be hurt by attacks that shouldn't hurt you, the improvement after recovery will be almost zero.

Only the damage sustained in battle or extreme training can maximize the improvement of the golden finger.

However, although there was no way to let the big bear hurt him directly, Rhodes had already decided to bring the big bear with him in the next battle, and then he would attack with all his strength.

With no way to improve his physical fitness quickly for the time being, Rhodes began to ponder his own inspiration again.

After a few days of thinking, he already had a vague idea.

When a person is hit by a fist, the force begins to be transferred from the place where he is hit.

Because the body is hit, the muscles and internal organs throughout the body will vibrate slightly. If a second wave of force hits at the same time as this vibration occurs, and if another impact occurs before the previous wave of vibration has ended, the damage will be superimposed and cause even stronger damage.

However, the time interval between the two forces must be very short so that the two forces can produce special effects and burst out with greater power.

The interval between them was difficult to control, and Rhodes still hadn't figured it out.

Only by continuous attempts can you trigger that state again.

Rhodes let out a long breath, squatted slightly, put all distracting thoughts in his mind, and concentrated on his fists.

Bang! !

As Rhodes punched out, a terrifying explosion sounded.

···
Guernica held Spandine in his arms, tapped his feet in the air, and quickly moved his body upwards toward the top of the drum.

As the team leader in CP0, if the mission was not very important and the Five Elders had not personally inquired about the selection of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he would not have easily set out.

However, he has always been the kind of person who resolutely carries out orders. As long as the order comes from above, no matter what it is, he will complete it without fail.

"arrive."

The top of the mountain was already in sight, so Guernica stepped forward and leaped straight up.

Bang! ! !
Guernica's eyes lit up, and just as he rushed to the top of the mountain, a powerful fist hit him in the face, and the terrifying fist covered him in an instant.

Guernica's expression changed slightly, and he threw Spandine behind him, and his domineering aura instantly surged through him.

"Iron Block·Martial Body!"

Guernica's powerful aura covered his body and extended outward, while he used the six techniques that he had honed over thousands of years - Iron Block!
Bang! !

Accompanied by a dull sound, Guernica's face turned dark and he slid back a few steps.

"It's going to fall!"

Spandine, who didn't have time to stand firm, was blown away by the air flow of the collision and almost fell down. He was now lying on the ground in a mess, holding tightly onto a protruding stone in front of him with both hands.

This is a mountain with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. Given his physique, if he fell from here, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have a complete body.

"stop fighting!"

The two CP0 members who followed closely behind picked up Spandine and threw him aside, then stood on Guernica's left and right, looking vigilantly at Rhodes opposite.

"As expected of [Ba Quan] Rod, he gave us a show of strength right after we met!"

Guernica regained his breath and looked at the sharp-eyed man opposite him.

The other person's red hair always reminds him of the new Pirate Emperor, "Red Hair" Shanks!

Both of them have the same red hair and are equally domineering.

Especially the punch that came towards him just now, which made him feel that he could not dodge it no matter what, and the powerful domineering aura that came towards him almost suffocated him.

"cp0?"

Rhodes looked at the people in front of him.

To be honest, he was completely immersed in his own world just now and didn't notice the other person approaching at all.

"It seems that you know our identities. That will make things easier."

Unlike CP0 who were tense all over after realizing how powerful Rhodes was, Spandine stood up, brushed off the snow on his body, straightened his tie, and walked in front of the three CP0 members, looking at Rhodes with a slightly reserved attitude.

"Baquan Rod, on behalf of the World Government, I invite you to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Staring at the unusually young red-haired boy in front of him, Spandine's eyes rolled and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"You should also know that after becoming a Shichibukai, the Navy will cancel the bounty on you. Not only that, the Shichibukai also enjoy the right to legally plunder, which is a right that countless people dream of."

"I did hear before that the World Government is planning to make me one of the Shichibukai. That sounds great."

Rhodes stroked his chin, recalling the identity of the man in front of him.

The other person's face looks very familiar!

"But compared to this, I care more about another thing."

Rhodes stared at the people in front of him with his green eyes.

"You just called me Tyrant Fist?"

Rhodes' face was filled with an unconcealable smile.

"Is this my new nickname?"

“That’s right…”

The corners of Spandine's mouth twitched slightly.

He seemed unable to keep up with the rapid thought process of the young man in front of him.

Why do you care so much about the title?
Compared to something like a title, isn't the title of Shichibukai more important?
"Not bad."

Rhodes nodded with satisfaction. This sounded much better than [Blue Eyes].

Because he was immersed in training during this period, he didn't pay much attention to the latest newspapers. Since the last time he saw the battle between them and Aokiji written by Martha in the newspaper, he hasn't read the latest newspaper.

I didn't expect that he would actually change his title without updating the bounty.

I don’t know whether this is Martha’s or Tezoro’s credit.

But as long as the result is good, that's enough.

"So, what's your answer?"

Spandine asked, drawing Rhodes' attention back.

After seeing that Rhodes did not take any further action, Guernica and the other two CP0 members did not make any further trouble and just watched Spandine negotiate with Rhodes.

They were here only as guards and witnesses.

"Um, could I ask your name, please?"

Rhodes once again looked at the World Government official in front of him.

The other person's face looked familiar, but Rhodes couldn't remember his identity.

"I'm Spandine!"

Although he didn't know why Rhodes suddenly asked his name, Spandine still answered directly.

"Oh it's you!"

Rhodes suddenly understood.

No wonder this guy looks so familiar.

It turns out that he is Spandam's father, the man who led the team to handle the O'Hara massacre.

It seems that Tesoro has a lot of influence in the World Government. I just told him this with a try-it attitude, but I didn't expect that the World Government would really send Spandine over.

"I want to ask one more question."

Rhode took two steps forward, and the CP0 members instantly became alert. However, since Rhode did not make any other moves, they did not act rashly. However, their bodies were all tense, ready to take action at any time.

"Just like that, you're going to let me become a Shichibukai?"

"Are there any other conditions?"

"Cough cough!"

Spandine rolled his eyes, coughed twice, and put on a serious expression.

"Nicole Robin, stay with your pirate group."

"She is an important criminal that the World Government has been pursuing. She is the orphan of O'Hara who committed a serious crime. As a condition for you to become a Shichibukai, you must hand her over to me!"

Although the Five Elders never made such a request, compared to a deterrent Shichibukai, a mere Nico Robin is nothing at all.

But Spandine, who sensed the opportunity to make a contribution, would never let go of such a good opportunity.

This is a major achievement that is enough to allow him to move up to the next level in the government.

In particular, the O'Hara incident was handled by him, and the only one who leaked out, Nicole Robin, has always been a thorn in Spandine's heart.

Now that there is such an opportunity to completely clean up the mess left over from that year, Spandine will certainly not let it go.

"They are indeed father and son."

Hearing Spandine's request, Rhodes couldn't help but chuckle softly.

"what?"

Rhodes' voice was too soft and Spandine didn't hear it clearly.

"You heard it too, Robin!"

Ignoring Spandine, Rhodes suddenly turned around and spoke to the person beside him.

An arm grew out of his side at some point, with an eye and an ear on it.

"Come and take a look."

Soon, a black-haired beauty in a green dress and a black fur-collared coat walked out of the castle, walked to Rhodes' side, and looked at Spandine not far in front of her with an extremely complicated look.

She had seen this face of the other person in her dreams countless times.

"Yes, it's this woman!"

Although Robin was just a little girl back then, Spandine gave up her identity at first sight.

Robin is exactly like her mother, except for the color of her hair.

"It seems that you have made up your mind. Don't worry, I will speak well of you in front of the Five Elders."

Spandine looked at Rhodes with approval.

He had only made the request on a whim, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Guernica frowned slightly, he always felt that things were not that simple.

According to the intelligence they had gathered, this Rhodes was definitely not the kind of person who would easily abandon his companions.

"Isn't that right?"

Rhodes looked down at Robin beside him.

"That's right!"

When Robin saw Spandine again, he did not feel much hatred in his heart.

The real cause of O'Hara's tragedy was not the man in front of him, but was merely driven by the World Government.

"Want to do it yourself?"
