“…”

Looking at the islands, Rhodes's eyes flashed and he was silent.

The Golden Lion's reward was also extremely high. Although the reward was eliminated after being arrested and pushed into the city, after escaping from prison, he was offered again. Although it was not as high as before, it still reached as much as 1.7 billion!

A reward of 1.7 billion!

If the Golden Lion can be killed, the talent reward you get will be enough to increase his strength a lot. However, the problem is that the Golden Lion's strength is completely corresponding to this reward!

He encountered Luffy and lost to the halo. Not to mention the fact that before the Golden Lion escaped from prison, he was able to enter the Navy headquarters alone and fight with Caper, the Warring States Period, which was at its peak, destroying nearly half of the Navy headquarters.

Even if he cut off his legs to escape from prison and his brain becomes abnormal, his strength will not decline too much, and at least he can remain at the level of the Navy General!

"It's not easy to deal with."

Rhodes pondered for a moment, but still gave such an evaluation in his heart. The Golden Lion Ski is not within his prey area for the time being.

But just as Rhodes' ship continued to fly upwards and was about to separate from the island of the Golden Lion, a figure cut through the clouds and walked quickly.

"Someone is here!"

“It’s very fast.”

Lafitte and others noticed the figure rushing over, and they all showed a look of alert. Almost the next moment, the figure drew an arc and landed on the deck of the ship.

"Hehahahaha... It's a great ability to make the ship fly. Who is your captain?" The golden lion who landed on the ship grinned with a cigar in his mouth.

Although there was no such thing as domineering in the face of the legendary pirate, the momentum of the legendary pirate was also revealed in an instant, making Kaku and others feel breathing heavily.

Looking at the uninvited golden lion, Rhodes stood there with a calm look on his face:

"I'm the captain, and I'm sorry there is no drink on the boat to entertain you, Golden Lion."

“…”

The golden lion looked at Rhodes and narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he had been in the sky, he was not ignorant of the matter at sea. Rhodes, who had a reward of one billion Bailey, was enough to enter his eyes. When he saw Rhodes, he recognized him.

I thought it was an unknown person, but I didn't expect it to be a well-known pirate. This was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for him, and the desire to recruit him was even more serious. Moreover, it seems that Rhodes was not ignorant of him even if he could call out his title.

"You are called Ghost Hand Rhodes... Jiehahahahaha, how about joining the Flying Pirates?!"

After staring at Rhodes for a few seconds, the golden lion suddenly grinned, with a hint of domineeringness in his eyes. He raised a hand and clenched his fist in front of him, and said, "If you join forces with me, this sea will sooner or later be our bag!"

Since he was imprisoned in the city, his former subordinates have almost dispersed. Now there are not many people who follow him, and they are alone and have no one under his command that can show off.

Pirates with a reward of one billion, regardless of their strength or fame, are qualified to join his pirate group and become a sharp sword in his hand!

"Pirate the sea or something is indeed what I want to do, but..."

Rhodes spoke calmly, and even under the momentum brought by the Golden Lion, there was no movement or change at all, saying, "I am not interested in being someone else's subordinate."

"Hey."

Hearing Rhodes' neat rejection, the Golden Lion suddenly yelled, put down his fist, raised his head slightly, and said, "Although I haven't paid attention to the sea for a long time, I still have a little understanding. Do you think you can defeat those four emperors with your words?!"

For the Golden Lion, among the Four Emperors, except for Whitebeard and his era, everyone else rose much later than him, and in his eyes, they naturally belong to the juniors.

"How can you know if you don't try it?"

Rhodes responded calmly.

The golden lion stared at Rhodes and suddenly raised his head and laughed. A sound of "Jiehahahahaha" echoed in the clouds. At the same time, a violent and chaotic aura suddenly swept away in all directions.

Overlord color... domineering!

Almost in an instant, the nearby clouds were severely affected, stirring up like vortexes, as if the sky and the earth were fading!

This domineering aura is far beyond the reach of Green Pepper. Owl, Carlyfa and others fell into a coma directly. Bruno barely failed to fall into a coma, but his breathing was stagnant and cold sweat was overflowing on his forehead.

As for Kakugabra and Robin, they all were under great pressure.

Only Lafitte can still maintain some calmness, and Rhodes still stands there with a calm eyes.

"The domineering and domineering..."

Feeling the slight vibration and oppression from the surface of his body, Rhodes murmured in his heart. This was the second time he had encountered the domineering spirit of the king.

Looking at Rhodes and others, the golden lion gradually stopped laughing, and slowly floated up, looking at Rhodes condescendingly.

"It's great to have such courage, but having courage alone is not enough. Not having enough strength, it's just a verbal speech!"

Even the Golden Lion himself was sure that he could not defeat Whitebeard alone, so he naturally sniffed at Rhodes's "pride" attitude.

However, he knew very well the mentality of a newcomer like Rhodes who had just risen for a while. It was normal to be arrogant and arrogant. Only by experiencing the gap between failure and the real strong can he restrain his arrogance.

"Enjoy the difference, ghost-handed boy!"

He flew to a place about dozens of meters high from the ship, his eyes became as quiet as water. He raised his leg and swept it violently. The famous sword Killing Wood, which replaced his calves, suddenly burst out with a terrifying sword energy and cut across the ship directly below.

This sword energy is much stronger than the generals Rhodes encountered. The only one that can match him in his impression is Hawkeye, the world's largest swordsman, Hawkeye!

There is no doubt.

The Golden Lion is also a great swordsman standing at the top of the swordsman!

The purpose of this sword was not to destroy Rhodes and others. It was just to come on the boat, trying to let Rhodes realize the gap with the strong and to make him surrender.

but.

Surrendering to the strong or something, such a mentality did not exist in Rhodes' mind from the beginning. Will a person playing the game surrender to the NPC in the game?

Of course the answer is no!

Whoosh!

Almost the moment the golden lion slashed, Rhodz flew out of the air, his eyes calm and cold, and he suddenly punched out and rushed towards the sword energy.

With his current twisted power, this kind of slash at the great swordsman level cannot be cured into a ball, but this does not prevent Rhods from bombing it with his power!

boom!

The huge golden sword energy collided with Rhodes' fist, like a golden crescent moon cutting steel rapidly, and a trace of golden light splashed everywhere.

The two forces were stalemate for about a second, and the huge golden sword energy could not maintain its perfect arc. It twisted and broke from the middle, rubbed against both sides of the hull, fell into the clouds below, and cut a white cloud into two sections.

Rhodz floated in the air, looked up at the golden lion in the sky, slowly retracted his fist, and his eyes were calm.

"The gap is for catching up."

"Tsk..."

The Golden Lion was a little surprised by Rhodes' ability to block his attack, but he still twitched. The stronger Rhodes' strength, the more powerful he became, the more he could strengthen his strength.

He waved his legs again, kicked in the void one after another, instantly swept out seven or eight golden sword energy, slashing towards Rhodz head-on without any intention of hiding his hand.
