One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 247: The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gathering
"justice?"

Rhodes sneered.

"Don't be ridiculous, you are a navy. A navy asks a pirate what justice is?"

Rhodes led Nia and Minina to the room, leaving Gion disheveled in the sea breeze.

"It's you who keeps talking about justice!"

The rest of the voyage was uneventful.

Gion seemed to have some special idea in mind and kept trying to talk to Rhodes, but Rhodes had no interest in this admiral candidate of the navy. Compared with Gion, his subordinates who got his soul fragments were more worthy of his attention.

In this atmosphere, the navy's warships passed through the sea and quickly approached the red earth continent.

Marijoa, where the World Government is located, is located at the top of the Red Earth Continent, just above Fishman Island.

If the pirates want to enter the second half of the Grand Line, they naturally have to pass through Fishman Island ten thousand meters below and enter the New World through the gap in the Red Earth Continent.

As an agency directly under the World Government, the Navy only needs to take the elevator under the Red Earth Continent, then pass through the Red Earth Continent from above, and take the elevator on the other side to reach the sea surface again.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea also have such rights.

However, Rhodes was not strong enough at that time. Due to an unknown sense of crisis in his heart, Rhodes did not cross the Red Earth Continent to the New World, but arrived at the second half through Fishman Island.

And this time, having received the summons from the World Government, they need to take such an elevator to reach the Red Earth Continent!

Under the guidance, the warship that Rhodes and his crew were on docked at an artificial port. Nia looked up at the towering red earth continent in front of her.

“No matter how many times I see it, it’s always shocking!”

An endless red wall stood in front of them, like a creation of God, dividing the world.

"Come this way. I've already contacted the elevator to go up."

Although they were treated coldly along the way, Gion still had a faint smile on his face as he led Rhodes and his group towards an elevator.

"They actually built such an outrageous elevator that goes all the way up to a height of 10,000 meters. The Celestial Dragons are really good at making things happen."

Nia looked at the elevators going up and down the walls. Everywhere she could see elevators carrying food, wine, treasures, slaves, and all kinds of strange things.

Even at an altitude of ten thousand meters, crops can be grown.

In fact, the Sky Island is also located at an altitude of ten thousand meters, possibly even higher than the Red Soil Continent, but this does not affect the growth of plants on the Sky Island.

However, Marijoa is the residence of the Celestial Dragons. As descendants of the Creator, how could they allow farming or fishing to exist where they live?

Therefore, the Celestial Dragons living in Marijoa have all their daily necessities transported up via the elevator.

“So much food!”

Minnina noticed the food being transported up, which included various precious ingredients, which made Minnina's heart beat fast.

"The food of the Celestial Dragons is transported up via this elevator?"

Minina looked at the elevators moving back and forth.

"If the elevator is attacked, won't they have nothing to eat?"

"Oh my, please don't say such horrible things so casually."

Gion looked at Minina with a smile.

"Attacking the elevators that the Celestial Dragons use to transport food is too dangerous and will cause unrest in the world."

As they were talking, Gion had already led them to the front of the elevator. Several people in white protective suits were standing in front of the elevator. When they saw Rhodes and his men approaching, they first stood up and nodded slightly to show respect, then stretched out their hands to stop them from getting on the elevator.

"I'm sorry, but you're not only going to the Red Earth Continent this time, but you're also going to pass through Marijoa. Considering the safety of the Celestial Dragons, you need to do a quick physical examination."

The man in white protective clothing said this and took out several blood-collecting instruments.

"It's just that there has been a serious epidemic outbreak in some places recently, so it's just a simple test. It only requires a small amount of blood to be tested."

"Oh?"

Rhodes looked towards Gion.

"It should be the Hodgkin's flu that broke out recently in the South China Sea. I heard that it has paralyzed several countries. It is more serious than the platinum-lead disease in the North China Sea."

Gion first stretched out his arm, signaling the other party to take his blood for testing.

"This is also for everyone's safety. After all, the World Conference will be held in a week. The kings of some countries have already arrived in Marijoa. If we are careless, it may become a major problem that affects the whole world!"

Rhodes nodded, accepting what he said, and also stretched out his arm to let the man in white protective clothing draw blood from him.

Minina and Nia behind him did not refuse and allowed the other party to draw their blood.

However, at the moment the blood was drawn, Rhodes used the power of the fruit to attach a part of the soul power to the blood.

Not only his own part, but also Nia and Minina's blood.

After doing all these things, Rhodes and his group waited for a few minutes, and then got the signal from the person in white protective clothing and got on the elevator.

Rhodes glanced at the blood sample that was collected by the other party out of the corner of his eye, and a hint of inexplicable meaning flashed in his eyes.

What does the world government want to do by coming up with this method to obtain its own blood samples?

clone?

Rhodes thought of the Vinsmoke family's cloning technology.

Even Judge can master the cloning technology. There is no reason why Vegapunk, which claims to be 500 years ahead of the world, would not understand this technology.

If these blood samples are really to be handed over to Vegapunk, then with the soul power attached to the blood, Rhodes can directly locate Punk Hazard where Vegapunk is!

Tezoro had just managed to get the pointer to that place, it couldn't be such a coincidence.

As he pondered these things, the elevator below took Rhodes and his companions up to the top of the Red Earth Continent at a rapid speed.

After a while.

"This is Marijoa!"

Nia stepped onto the land of the Red Earth Continent and looked at the buildings not far away.

That is the center of the world, the political center, the center of power, and the place where the so-called descendants of God live.

"Please come this way. You can't walk around in Marijoa. Not only that, there are some places you can't just go to."

After Nia looked at the buildings of Mary Geoise for a while, Gion led Rhodes and the others to walk in one direction.

"After all, this is where the Celestial Dragons live. If we accidentally bump into them, it will be a troublesome matter."

Gion glanced at Rhodes and saw that there was no special expression on his face, and he felt a little relieved.

This is the person who directly killed the Pirate Emperor. It is really unlikely to expect him to respect the Celestial Dragons.

If the other party really collides with the Celestial Dragons, Gion would have to worry about whether the other party would directly fight in Marijoa.

In fact, Gion was a little confused as to why the top leaders of the World Government wanted the Seven Warlords of the Sea to gather in Marijoa this time.

These Seven Warlords of the Sea were all restless guys, and each of them possessed terrifying power. If they were really allowed to cause trouble in Marijoa, she couldn't imagine what the impact would be.

Rhode and his companions followed Gion to a meeting room prepared for the gathering of the Seven Warlords. Perhaps because there were some extremely tall people among the Seven Warlords, or perhaps there were some burly people in the World Government, the meeting room was unusually spacious.

"Baquan Rod!"

As soon as he reached the door of the room, Rhodes felt a sharp gaze coming from the side, and then a slightly unfamiliar voice came into his ears.

Although he had never dealt with each other before, just by feeling the sharp aura and the feeling like being pointed at by a sharp blade, Rhodes instantly knew the other party's identity.

Sure enough, as Rhodes turned around, the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of sharp eyes.

"Hawkeye, Mihawk!"

The greatest swordsman in the world!
He is also the only swordsman known in the world who has mastered the black sword!

Hawkeye reached out to touch the black knife [Night] on his back, and a hint of intention flashed in his eyes.

Back then on Urukum Island, when he saw Rhodes's slashing blow that cut through the sky and severed the sea, he wanted to have a fight with him.

However, the situation at that time was not right, and no suitable opportunity was found afterwards. This time, it was a rare opportunity to meet the opponent, and Hawkeye just wanted to have a good fight with Rhodes.

But the next moment, his eyes fell on Rhodes' empty waist, and the fighting spirit that had flashed in his eyes instantly faded.

"Where's your knife?"

"Did not bring."

Feeling the fighting spirit disappearing from Hawkeye, Rhodes blinked.

"You also said that I am Tyrant Fist."

"What a pity!"

Hawkeye lowered his arms and turned to walk into the room.

"Wait a mininute."

Rhodes called out to Hawkeye.

"Will you let me try your sword?"

Hawkeye turned around, his brows slightly furrowed.

To a swordsman, the sword is as important as his life. Doesn’t the other party know this?

The next moment, Hawkeye remembered Rhodes's habit and the supreme sword that he tried to take away when fighting Whitebeard - Kusukome Kirei.

Hawkeye grasped the hilt of the knife, and the black knife that was originally on his back was now pointed at Rhodes.

"If you can beat me!"

On the side, a hint of excitement flashed in Gion's eyes.

She is also a swordsman!
Although the two sides have different positions, both Rhodes and Hawkeye are among the greatest swordsmen in the world. It would be a great honor for her to witness the battle between the two.

Thinking of this, Gion took off his sword and handed it to Rhodes.

"You can use my weapon first, Kinpila!"

Rhodes reached out and took Gion's weapon, taking the opportunity to study the swordsmanship level of this navy candidate admiral.

As for the battle with Hawkeye.

“Hehehe, you guys want to fight here?”

Moriah's iconic laughter rang out, and he threw himself back into the battle of the new world. However, in just about a year, Moriah's body shape had changed dramatically. His originally fat belly had long disappeared, replaced by a body of muscular body.

Not only that, perhaps because he had several conflicts with Kaido and did not suffer a crushing defeat like he did in the past, Moria's aura seemed a little different, and a strong aura was revealed in his every move.

"This is Marijoa. If we fight here, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction from the World Government."

Jinbei was still dressed the same way, and although he was trying to dissuade him, he walked straight to Rhodes' side.

"What a rude man! If you want to fight, just get out of the way."

As a proud voice sounded, a tall figure walked over with a "keep away from strangers" expression on his face, and glanced at everyone present with contempt.

"The most beautiful woman in the world!"

"so beautiful!"

Nia and Minina looked at the newcomer with shining eyes. Even though they were women, they were deeply attracted by the charm emanating from each other.

"Huh, little girls nowadays are so arrogant when they talk!"

A harsh voice sounded.

"Did she upset you, Mom? Then I'll tear her mouth apart."

"Don't be so impulsive, Weibul! You are all Shichibukai. According to the agreement, you can't start a war at will."

"Oh, ok, Mom!"

As the conversation continued, an extremely tall man with a crescent-shaped beard and holding a huge naginata appeared in Rhodes' sight.

"White beard?"

Moria looked at the new person who had appeared.

Not only him, Jinbei also stared at the man in front of him.

No matter the weapon he uses or the identical white beard, the opponent looks exactly like Dad!
"Oh, you can see it too, right? He is Whitebeard's son!"

Behind the man who looked like a white beard, a short, wrinkled old woman holding a cane spoke in a sharp voice.

"Daddy's son?"

Jinbei looked at the woman.

If he heard correctly, the man who looked like his father just now called this woman "Mom".

In other words, she is Daddy’s woman! ?

As if she could see through what was going on in Jinbei's mind, the old woman continued to speak.

"Yes, I am Whitebeard's beloved, Miss Barkin!"

"What!?"

Jinbei looked in shock at the woman in front of him who was probably only as big as his father's fist.

"Get out of my way!"

A straight long leg stretched out from the side and kicked Miss Bakin away.

"Mom! Bastard, I'll kill you!"

The dumbfounded Weevil's expression suddenly changed, and he swung the naginata in his hand violently. Under his terrifying power, the naginata seemed to split the air, and a violent roar broke out.

Bang! ! !
Hancock's long legs were wrapped in domineering aura, and she kicked out suddenly to meet Weevil's slash. A violent roar broke out at the moment the two fought, and the tremendous force from the opponent's naginata made Hancock's expression change slightly.
