One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 138 stuck bug!

Thinking of how Bakara relied on her invincible luck to land critical hits with every punch, Rhodes couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Do you know what the European Emperor is?
"Go ahead and hurry up and deliver the things to me."

Rhodes waved his hand to signal these CP0s to leave quickly.

He also suffered considerable damage, and now it was finally time for him to use the bug.

"By the way, take that guy's body away and dispose of it."

Rhodes did not forget to point at Spandine who was lying in a pool of blood not far away.

"Then we'll leave it at that."

Guernica left with two team members, but his heart was still full of doubts.

Compared to the injuries they suffered, Rhodes' injuries were more serious.

Moreover, no one knew why he dragged the three of them into a fight.

It was just an ordinary sparring fight, except that he scored critical hits twice in the fight.

However, there is no need to verify this kind of thing.

"Big Bear!"

After watching the CP0 members leave, Rhode turned around and shouted to the side.

Then the figure of Big Bear appeared beside Rhodes.

Robben paused slightly.

He was ready to treat Rhodes.

After all, he looks seriously injured now.

only···

Luo glanced at the big bear, who appeared beside Rhodes and clapped his hands lightly. A bright red bear paw-shaped bubble was slapped out, and Rhodes' injuries healed quickly.

I'll be redundant!

I'd better continue to study Bonnie's treatment surgery.

Thinking of this, Luo turned around with a somewhat stiff expression and walked back into the castle.

Robin looked at Luo, whose steps were stiff, with some amusement, then looked at Rhodes, who was moving his body in the distance, and smiled softly with his hands covering his mouth.

This group of friends is really interesting!

···
very good!

Rhodes was unaware of Luo's reaction in the distance. He was feeling the changes in his own body.

In the battle with those CP0s just now, Rhodes did not use the Armament Haki for defense the whole time, and even controlled his body not to block too much, but just relied on his own physique to withstand the opponent's attacks.

These CP0 members were indeed very powerful and caused considerable damage to Rhodes.

And the result is...

Bang! !

Rhodes clenched his fist suddenly, and a burst of explosion sound came from the palm of his hand.

He could clearly feel that his body had become stronger!

"Big Bear, is there a limit to the number of times you can use your ability?"

Rod turned and asked Big Bear.

"??"

Big Bear looked at Rhodes in confusion.

The enemy has already left, why ask such questions?
There won't be anything that requires me to use my abilities next.

According to his own thoughts, Rhodes and his crew even stopped sailing in order to treat his daughter, and their kindness to him could never be repaid.

Big Bear also planned to take on the damage that Rhodes suffered in the battle later.

"There is no limit, as long as I have enough physical strength to support it."

Although he didn't quite understand what Rhodes was thinking, Big Bear still answered Rhodes' question honestly.

"That's good."

As he spoke, Rhodes inserted his hand into the red bubble created by the big bear.

The next moment, severe pain swept through Rhodes' body again, making his eyes brighter.

Being hurt means that you will become stronger in the future!

Although it is not as serious as the previous injuries, it is still an improvement.

"Again."

Big Bear was shocked.

He completely couldn't understand the meaning of Rhodes's action.

Shoot out the damage you take, then reabsorb it.

If it was during a battle, Big Bear could understand that Rod wanted to temporarily suppress his injuries and continue fighting in the best condition.

But now the battle is over, what is the point of such behavior other than causing myself to suffer pain many times over?

However, although he was full of doubts, Big Bear still obediently clapped at Rhodes again.

"Again!"

"Come again!"

"continue!"

···
The big bear repeatedly shot the damage out of Rod's body, and Rod reabsorbed the damage again and again. The two continued this operation in the heavy snow.

Until the big bear slapped, only a small bubble floated out from Rod's body, and even the color changed from red to light pink.

"there is none left···"

Big Bear looked at Rhodes, his eyes filled with shock.

His meat ball fruit can only shoot out the damage. In this process, the damage itself will not decrease or disappear. It must be absorbed by others. In other words, even if he shoots the damage out of Rhode's body countless times and Rhode absorbs the damage back countless times, theoretically speaking, the bear paw bubbles representing "damage" he shoots out will not get smaller.

However, in this cycle of 'dealing damage - absorbing damage', the damage he could inflict from Rhodes became less and less.

Either that or Rhode's physique had become stronger in this short period of time, and the 'injury' that could have injured him was no longer enough to hurt him.

However, this is obviously not possible. No one can make such a big change in physical fitness in such a short period of time.

Or maybe Rhodes' body had a very strong recovery ability, and it would quickly repair and recover after each injury, making the injuries on his body less and less severe.

Although it is also incredible, it is the only possibility.

Big Bear looked at Rhodes in front of him in shock.

What an amazing ability to adapt and recover!
"My body has become much stronger!"

Rhodes felt the changes taking place in himself.

In the cycle of "injury-recovery", his physical fitness improved rapidly. In just a dozen minutes, his physical fitness made a new leap.

Even if Rhode stood still now, those CP0s wouldn't be able to cause any harm to him.

Moreover, Rhodes's strengthening is not only in his physical strength and defense ability. Under the effect of the golden finger, his strengthening is all-round. Whether it is speed, strength, endurance, reaction, all these body-related aspects have become much stronger!
'I need more fights!'

The increase in strength also aroused a strong desire to fight in Rhodes' heart, but when he thought of his crew members, Rhodes calmed down again.

After all, his own growth rate was too exaggerated, far exceeding the growth rate of his companions.

However, if his partners cannot keep up with his pace and the gap becomes larger and larger, it will not be a good thing for either him or other partners.

So, let's stick to the original plan and stay on this island for a while.

Whether it is my partners or myself, it takes some time to settle down.

Rhodes thought back to his experiences since he went to sea.

The so-called strong person is someone who is strong in all aspects of "mind", "skill" and "body"!

With the help of the two golden fingers, Rhodes can continuously improve his "physical" without any bottleneck until he reaches the top of the world; and in terms of "skills", [Knights Do Not Die Barehanded] can also allow Rhodes to quickly master various skills and integrate them into his own combat system.

Only the "heart". The strength of the "heart" cannot be improved by relying on the golden finger, but can only be improved in battles and through repeated practice and understanding.

Now it is time for me to calm down.

Rhodes' heart became calm again. This small island covered with ice and snow all year round was just right for him to practice.

While the Rod Pirates were training on Drum Island, the news that Tyrant Rod had become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea spread throughout the world.

···
Lavis Island
"Ba Fist!"

Tesoro looked at the newspaper in his hand, which used a large amount of space to introduce Rhodes' experience, and attached a lot of domineering photos of Rhodes. Serving as the background of the photos were Vice Admiral Spider of the Marine Headquarters, the legend of the last era - [Black Arm] Zephyr, and Admiral [Aokiji] Kuzan of the Marine Headquarters!
"For the time being, let's keep a low profile and develop under the banner of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Tezoro held the newspaper in his hand, but his thoughts couldn't help but fly.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing those guys have terrified looks on their faces!"

"Master Tezolo!"

Big-headed Tanaka appears in the room.

"You need me for something?"

"Mr. Tanaka!"

Tezulo stood up and looked at the casino below through the French windows.

"Give the order and have everyone get ready! Our Grand Tesoro is about to officially set sail!"

···
A sea area in the New World

"Shichibukai? What are those?"

Dongli looked at the newspaper.

"Bang bang bang bang, Rhodes boy made quite a noise!"
