Chapter 153 Not an Ordinary Navy Lieutenant Commander
Using life in exchange for power is, in short, a "Kryptonite" battle. Wood even feels that the power of his God's Heart is a bit similar to the new plug-in Oda arranged for Luffy, the Human Fruit Nika form...
Of course, although the point of exchanging lives for combat power is the same, Wood does not have other matching abilities.
But there are advantages, that is, Wood's abilities are not derived from Devil Fruit, so he is not a landlubber.
"Are you really a human being? You're not just an animal in human skin!"
The sea train completely passed the section where the Neptunes gathered. After a brief shock, Franky and the others finally reacted. When they looked at Wood, they no longer had the easy intention to follow them before.
Pirates with a bounty of over 100 million were considered outstanding in the first half of the Grand Line, but they were not uncommon. Franky even saw many of them in the Seven Islands of Water.
But Franky had to admit that the pirate supernova in front of him, who had a bounty of over 100 million, was obviously not on the same level as the other guys.
Last night in their studio, Franky saw Wood looking funny and even being easily suppressed by the girl-like Robin. Franky thought Wood was just a lucky new pirate.
But after seeing the scene that just happened, Franky's understanding of Wood was completely refreshed. What kind of new pirate is this? He is simply a big boss among pirates, okay?
On what basis do those guys at the Navy Headquarters decide the amount of the bounty?
The guy in front of me who can cut through four large sea kings with one sword is actually worth a mere 120 million per head? This is obviously trying to trick those pirate hunters!
No, no, no, if you think about it carefully, Wood was just a lieutenant colonel before betraying the navy.
"So, the pirates with a bounty of over 100 million are basically at this level of strength?
And Nico Robin, the son of the devil last night, is he also a hidden boss with terrifying power!"
Thinking of Robin who suppressed Wood last night, Franky suddenly felt a little panicked.
Last night, he recommended a weapon he developed to Robin, but Robin rejected it. He even mocked the opponent for not knowing what he was selling.
Thinking about it now, the other party must have remembered it correctly, right?
"Idiot Franky, it's not like we haven't seen a pirate with a bounty of over 100 million. Brother Wood is obviously much stronger than other pirates."
Compared to Franky, who was still unclear about the current situation, Bingshan was obviously more sophisticated. After seeing Wood's amazing strength, his title was immediately upgraded from the original Wood to "Big Brother Wood".
No wonder he can be the mayor of the Seven Islands of Water in the future, and can also find a capable and beautiful female secretary, while Franky can only be a low-level gangster in the scrap shipyard.
"Thank you very much this time, Brother Wood. Without your help this time, the passengers on the Smoky Tom would have been in danger.
I, Tom, have not admired many people in my life, but this time I admire you loud and clear.
With your ability, I think you will soon be able to make a name for yourself on the sea, and even become someone like Roger."
What Tom said was certainly part of encouragement out of gratitude. However, Tom was indeed surprised and admired the strength that Wood had just shown.
Unlike Franky and Bingshan, who have never seen much of the world, Tom, who has lived to this age, has dealt with many pirates and navy in his life.
But among all the people Tom has met, Wood may not be ranked in terms of strength. But the cutting power that Wood released just now is definitely enough to rank among the top ten swordsmen in the world.
!
Of course, the first ten here refer not to Wood's strength, but to the level of the slash just now.
On the other hand, Tom is actually quite puzzling. With the strength shown by Wood, even if it is placed at the Navy Headquarters, it is outstanding.
Although releasing the prisoners in Impel Down is considered a serious crime, as long as it does not offend the World Government, there is no reason for the Navy Headquarters to abandon a genius like Wood just because of this matter.
After going through the trouble caused by the Neptunes, the Sea Train Smokey Tom finally successfully landed on another small island near the Seven Islands of Water.
Although the brakes are broken, as long as the distance is sufficient, the sea train can successfully enter the port by reducing the use of coal.
This time, the test ride of the sea train was generally thrilling, but fortunately, some other accidents occurred in the end, resulting in casualties.
The passengers on the train did not know that there was a problem with the Sea Train's brakes. As for the Neptune type problems, they can only be said to be accidental incidents and have nothing to do with the safety issues of the Sea Train itself.
Passengers who returned to the Water City that day also excitedly shared their riding experience with those around them, and highlighted the extremely fast speed of the sea train and the encounters with Neptunes on the road.
Hearing test riders talk about the benefits of the sea train, most residents of the water city are also excited and happy.
Of course, most people are happy, but there are also some who are unhappy, such as the commander of a certain judicial island who just landed in the air.
Spadam, who had been waiting for good news, became furious on the spot when he heard that the sea train had entered the port safely and that the passengers on the train were safe and sound.
The success of the sea train means that Tom has made a huge contribution. The crime of building a ship for Roger, the Pirate King, naturally outweighs the merits and demerits.
Originally, Spadam threatened Tom to hand over the design of "Hades" on this charge, but now everything has come to nothing.
“According to people who took the sea train at that time, there were indeed many large sea kings gathered where we threw bait.
But at that time, a swordsman on the train actually killed all the sea kings blocking the road with one sword, opening a way for the sea train to escape!"
When he heard the report from his subordinates, the angry Spadam first realized that his subordinates were fooling him. However, when he found the serious face of CP9 who reported the report, Spadam showed a look of disbelief.
"A pirate with a reward of 120 million beli is a mere former navy lieutenant commander. You actually said that he split several large sea kings with one knife?
Do you think the other person is the world’s greatest swordsman, or the admiral of the Navy Headquarters?”
Looking at the reward order handed over by CP9 and looking at Wood's young appearance in the photo, Spadam's expression was filled with disbelief.
"According to the intelligence collected by our world government, this billionaire pirate named Wood is no ordinary naval lieutenant commander.
According to the intelligence collected by our CP organization, this former naval lieutenant commander once defeated the current rear admiral, Rear Admiral Gion, known as Momotu, in a single battle.
Afterwards, the Navy Headquarters chose to block the news because it was afraid that the news would have a negative impact on the Navy's reputation."
