One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 245: The Use of Soul Soul Fruit

"Fist Security Company?"

Wano Country, Onigashima.

Kaido put the wine glass on the table with a "bang", burped, and looked at the people in front of him.

"What is that bastard Baquan doing again?"

"But as long as you can give me the devil fruit on time, it'll be fine."

Although Linlin lost to Rod in the previous battle and was even killed by him, Kaido had no worries about Rod at all.

They had just fought a battle a few months ago, and Rhodes had asked Ruo to give him some.

Even if the other party killed Lingling and obtained her fruit, if it happened again, Rhodes would probably still not be his opponent.

After all, he is the strongest creature!

"There is no problem with the devil fruit. I have already contacted the other party. There is no problem with Trafalgar Law."

"That's it!"

Kaido burped again, looked at Cracker who was sitting in front of him but didn't talk much, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Oh, you're my new boss, come and have a drink!"

"Mr. Kaido..."

"Call me Big Brother!"

Kaido interrupted Cracker and stuffed a wine jar into his hand.

Cracker took the jar of wine and drank it down with one gulp.

More than a month ago, Kaido brought Jin and attacked Wano Country immediately after his mother was killed by Rod.

As the strongest among the remaining personnel, Cracker tried his best to stop Kaido, but he was no match for Kaido.

When he woke up again, he and many of his brothers and sisters had already appeared in Kaido's base camp.

Nowadays, he is the fourth big boss under Kaido. Not only him, but also many of his brothers and sisters have become cadres of the Beasts Pirates.

In exchange, some weaker brothers and sisters can go out to sea on their own, and some can live on the territory of the Beasts Pirates.

According to the latest news, Katakuri's brother became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and Perospero, Smoothie, and Snaggle all became captains or vice-captains under Haoken.

The former Four Emperors pirate group, the Charlotte Family, has fallen apart.

"Let's wait until we catch more people with special abilities before we go find Tyrant Fist!"

Kaido laughed and drank happily.

Although he lost an old friend, his friendship with his new friend remained strong.

Not only that, the legacy of old friends and the help of new friends will make the power he wields stronger and stronger!
We are getting closer and closer to launching a war that will sweep the world!

cake island

boom! ! !
With a violent roar, pillars of lightning fell from the sky, and the terrifying power was released on Rhodes without reservation. Under the terrifying power, Rhodes' body turned into a charred black.

"Lord Rhodes! Please don't continue to treat yourself like this!"

Although it was not the first time that the dwarf princess next to her had seen such a situation, she still cried nervously, and used her ability to quickly heal the injuries suffered by Rhodes with healing tears.

"Oh, not again!"

Rhodes clenched his fists suddenly and felt terrifying power surging out of his body.

After eating the [Soul-Soul Fruit] and increasing his soul strength, his physical fitness can be quickly improved with the help of the power of the golden finger.

Moreover, with the help of the [Healing Fruit] ability of the dwarf princess Manshiri, it is easier for him to deal with bugs than before.

After more than three months of training, his physical fitness has reached its current limit.

This is far beyond the physical strength of Kaido, the King of Beasts!
If they fight again, Rhodes is 100% sure that he can defeat Kaido.

However, three months have passed and his physical strength has reached its limit, so he can no longer absorb soul power to strengthen his soul.

"Is the CD time so long?"

Rhodes muttered secretly in his heart.

At present, it seems that such an improvement has a cooling time limit.

When he had just absorbed the soul power, Rhodes' excess soul power could not be absorbed by himself at all, and it felt like it was saturated.

Now, although he still couldn't absorb soul power to improve himself, Rhodes could feel that he would be able to continue to improve after a while.

But this time is a bit long.

'It can only absorb 1 soul power per year, increasing its strength by 0.1.'

At this rate of improvement, in just eight or nine years, Rod's physical fitness alone will be twice that of Kaido, the King of Beasts. Considering that the strength of Armament Haki is also related to the soul as well as the body, Rod's overall strength will probably be even stronger.

Even if facing three or four Kaidos at the same time, he will not be afraid.

But, it's too slow!

Although Rhodes didn't see the end of One Piece's storyline in his previous life, judging from the pace of the storyline at the time, it would probably only take a year or two to finish the storyline of the entire world.

It is now the 1518th year of the Haiyuan calendar, and there are only two years left before the Child of Destiny sets sail.

If the development speed cannot keep up, I am afraid that I will become an experience bag that is brushed away.

Thinking of this, Rhodes felt a sense of urgency in his heart and continued to study his fruit ability.

"Rod, it's Tezoro's call."

Luo appeared in front of Rod holding a Den Den Mushi.

"Boss Rhodes, I lived up to your expectations. I found the location of Punk Hazard!"

Rod picked up the phone and immediately heard the good news told by Tezoro.

"very good!"

"That island seems to involve important secrets of the navy. It took me a lot of effort to find the relevant information."

"Thank you for your hard work, Tezulo."

"No, I'm the captain of the 8th Division that you appointed."

Tezulo's voice came over the phone.

"I'm looking forward to the moment when I set foot on Marijoa!"

"You will wait till that day!"

Rhodes hung up the phone and began to look forward to the next trip.

Punk Hazard is still a naval research base today, where Vegapunk conducts a series of research.

He has been trying to find out information about Punk Hazard, not only for the artificial devil fruit stored there, but also for Vegapunk!

"Rod, it's a call from the World Government."

The phone bug rang again.

Rhodes picked up the phone and a familiar voice came from the phone.

The Five Elder Stars, the God of Finance, and the Saint Nasu Shouro!
"The World Conference is about to be held. We are going to gather all the Seven Warlords of the Sea. There is a mission that requires your cooperation."

"Task?"

Rhode wondered. For something like this, it would be enough to arrange for the navy or CP0 to contact them directly. There was no need for the Five Elders to contact them personally.

"It's not convenient to explain over the phone, so just come on time and participate."

"I see."

Rhodes nodded in agreement and then hung up the phone.

"Do you think he will come?"

Mary Joa and the Five Elders sat together.

In the past few months, the "Fist Security Company" authorized by the World Government has expanded rapidly and opened its own companies all over the world. It is indeed as Luo said, after the security company moved in, even the North Sea, where pirate forces were most rampant, and the West Sea, where gang forces were strong, have become calm.

According to the investigation of the CP organization, some of those guys who were originally rampant in the countryside and were not stable were absorbed by security companies, and the other part were directly transferred to the New World. Those guys who were originally preparing to go out to sea directly entered the sea area where the pirate forces were the most powerful.

Not only that, every time Fist Security Company expands its business to a city, they will, based on local conditions, either partner with large local companies or go out on their own to open various types of factories and arrange all those who have no source of income to work in the factories.

After this series of actions, the World Government was surprised to find that not only the New World, but also the four seas were much more stable than before.

And once the sea becomes calm, the money they plan to allocate to the navy this year can be reduced.

In the long run, the navy's power can be compressed little by little and return to the previous controllable situation.

However, Tyrant Rhodes also needs to be vigilant.

Vegapunk proposed a new research plan some time ago, which can use cloning technology, bloodline factors, mechanical technology and other means to artificially create biological weapons with powerful power.

If this so-called biological weapon could succeed, all the Four Emperors and the Seven Warlords of the Sea could be dealt with.

However, the research on this kind of biological weapon requires the blood tissue of some strong people.

This is also the reason why the World Government asked the Seven Warlords of the Sea to assemble.

"If he doesn't come, it means he has given up his status as a Shichibukai."

Saint Satan said coldly.

Vegapunk's plan received his full support, and it was also his suggestion to assemble the Seven Warlords of the Sea and cooperate with Vegapunk's research.

Unlike Nasu Shouro, he has always been reluctant to give Tyrant Rhodes too many privileges.

If the other party doesn't come to this gathering, then we can just deprive him of his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
"Do you want to push such a powerful force towards the pirates?"

"These Seven Warlords of the Sea are pirates!"

"Maybe we should wait and see."

"That's right. Since Vegapunk has put forward his research plan, we should wait for a while. If his research goes smoothly, we can eliminate all of them, whether they are the Four Emperors or the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Second, let's take a look at Vegapunk's research plan first."

"Yes, the sea has finally calmed down again."

···
"Something's wrong!"

Rhodes couldn't hear what the Five Elders of Mary Geoise were talking about, nor did he know what they were planning, but he could sense that there was something fishy about this matter.

What does the World Conference have to do with the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Why are the Seven Warlords of the Sea required to gather in Marijoa when the World Conference is held?
Moreover, it was the Five Elders who called personally.

"Could it be that the Navy wants to trick you into Mary Geoise and then concentrate their forces to kill you?"

Nia guessed.

"Probably not. There is no such deep hatred between me and the World Government."

Rhodes was a little confused about the World Government's intentions for a moment.

"Forget it, we'll know when the time comes."

"That's great. Let me also see this place that is the pinnacle of power in the world today!"

Although no one had the confidence to fight against the three admirals of the navy, Rhode didn't think anyone could beat him in a one-on-one battle.

Even if he arrived in Marijoa, at the center of power of the World Government, no one could force him to do anything.

"But before that."

Several huge black shadows walked in front of Rhodes.

That was the messenger he created using the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, used to harvest the lives of the residents of all nations.

Just like the previous ability user, Rhodes now requires the residents here to give up one month of their lifespan every six months.

In this dangerous sea area, there are still countless people who cannot even get enough food to eat and are in danger of losing their lives from day to day. The residents here are already lucky to have a stable living environment.

Especially, Rhode was not like Charlotte Lingling, who would have attacks from time to time and would not recognize anyone when she was sick. Anyone could be affected and even lose their life.

Rhodes stretched out his hand and gathered all the souls harvested by the messengers in his hand, then used his ability to refine them, and finally obtained the soul power equivalent to that of four people.

In this way, he has the soul power equivalent to that of five people in his hands.

According to the results of previous attempts, he is currently unable to use soul power to strengthen his soul.

But what if it’s not strengthening, but restoration?
Thinking of this, Rhodes split off a small part of his soul, roughly equivalent to one year's lifespan.

Sure enough, after splitting his soul, that kind of pure soul power can repair his soul.

It takes two days and consumes about 1/10 of the soul power to repair the lost part.

"Smoothie!"

Rhodes called Smoothie, and in the other's uneasy eyes, he first returned to the other the one year of life that he had taken from the other.

Then, in Smoothie's shocked eyes, Rhodes put the part of his soul that he had just separated into her.

The soul passed through Smoothie's body.

"As expected, you can't give your soul directly to another person."

The soul must first be given to a carrier.

Thinking of this, Rhodes' arm was filled with domineering energy, and then he cut his palm, a few drops of blood flowed out from his fingertips, and then he poured the part of the soul that had just been separated into his own blood.

Instantly, the blood seemed to come alive and transformed into a swimming fish, flying towards Smoothie in the air.

"This is···?"

Smoothie was slightly stunned.

She had never seen her mother use the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit like this!

"Swallow."

After hearing Rhodes' order, Smoothie opened her mouth and let the blood that absorbed Rhodes' soul fly into her mouth.

The next moment, Smoothie suddenly felt a surge of power in his body, and many sword-fighting techniques seemed to flash through his mind.

"This is!?"

Smoothie's eyes widened in surprise.

Opposite her, Rhodes had a satisfied smile on his face.

"Success!"

He successfully sensed Smoothie's soul.
