There are two large armed sailing ships in town, and the momentum of the fleet is rising. Ordinary pirates flee when they look out for the wind, and the navy generally does not care about such ships that do not fly the pirate flag.
So the next voyage was smooth sailing.
About half a day later, Rhodes and others arrived at their destination, Black Harbor, the third largest city in the Land of Flowers!
Second only to the royal capital, and Grody, who is entrenched by the Eight Treasures Water Army.
The country of flowers is different from the weakened Alabasta. The royal family is powerful and firmly controls most of the country.
Official armed forces such as the Eight Treasures Navy are stationed at the mouth of the largest river in the Land of Flowers, which is the city of Grody, guarding the capital and blocking the sea.
The military power of the whole country is very strong, and ordinary pirates would not dare to harass them. In order to avoid political disputes, the navy of such a big country will not send troops to station.
And the black port, as the name suggests, is where the underground forces such as gangs and killer organizations gather, and the most mixed, so the base of the Revolutionary Army in the Land of Flowers is also located here.
Leaving some people to guard the boat, Rhodes, Hela and the others quickly disembarked and came to the port. The powerful lineup made everyone in the port look suspicious.
The average strength of this batch of revolutionary armies is ranked first in the West Sea, and it is completely sufficient to control the situation in Heigang, at least the underlying forces.
Rhodes could clearly feel that some people left quickly, probably to report.
"interesting."
Rhodes placed his left hand lightly on the hilt of the sword, and looked around casually, revealing a hint of interest.
In the rear, all the revolutionary troops stood upright and did not look sideways. Occasionally, when they looked at Rhodes, their eyes were full of awe and reverence.
Obviously, Rhode's formidable strength has convinced this group of people.
"We should now meet up with the people who stayed here to learn the latest information."
Hela is talking.
A middle-aged man who looked quite capable and capable suddenly appeared not far away. He walked quickly and said anxiously:
"Hella, you guys are here."
"What about the cadres from the headquarters?"
His eyes swept across the crowd, but he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
Hela knew him, and the rows behind were obviously ordinary revolutionary troops.
So……
The cadre from the headquarters is this young man? ! !
The middle-aged man couldn't help being stunned.
If it wasn't for this possibility now, he would never believe that this young man who looked younger than his son was a cadre from the headquarters!
"I am."
Rhode didn't care.
It's normal for a genius to always suffer from a strange look.
The middle-aged man frowned, feeling somewhat unacceptable in his heart.
But he was very shrewd and his eyes were vicious. Seeing that Hela did not deny it, and from the eyes of the revolutionary army looking at Rhodes, he seemed to sense something, so he temporarily pressed the question and said:
"This year's martial arts competition is about to start."
"Uncle Larry has already passed by. I also ask Mr. Cadre to come over and meet up, and discuss how to deal with it."
He speaks very fast, obviously things are in a hurry.
"Knowing martial arts?"
Rhodes was slightly curious.
Hella did her homework and explained:
"This is a meeting for the underworld bosses in the land of flowers to resolve disputes. All parties send their hands to compete in order to divide the turf."
"The host is a representative sent by the Eight Treasures Navy."
Rhode nodded in understanding.
The so-called blocking is worse than sparse.
Underworld forces like killer organizations and gangs cannot be wiped out completely. There is black and there is white.
Therefore, the officials of the Land of Flowers used this kind of competition, through the prestige of the Eight Treasures Navy, to limit the conflict within the tolerance range, and even through the established prestige, they could command the underworld forces to a certain extent, killing two birds with one stone.
"Where is the location?"
"This." The middle-aged man quickly took out the map and pointed it to Rhodes.
Rhodes glanced at it and found that it was not far from Black Harbor, in a valley outside the city.
"You guys find a place to rest, I'll go take a look."
Rhode explained lightly, and then without waiting for Hela and the middle-aged man to agree, he stepped out in one step, appeared at the end of the port in the next second, and disappeared from sight in the next second.
"The speed is so fast!"
Hela and the others were stunned. Not only was it the violent power of thunder that seemed to destroy everything, but was it even so fast?
Who can withstand this!
The middle-aged man also looked shocked, what speed is this?
It was like a gust of wind, and in a blink of an eye, it was already at the end of the line of sight.
This kind of strength cannot be as young as it looks on the surface!
Is it the kind of natural baby face, or some kind of fruit power that can maintain a youthful appearance?
With such a brainstorming, the middle-aged man finally calmed down. If Rhodes really was only seventeen or eighteen years old as he seemed, he would really doubt his life.
……
Panshi Valley.
Rhodes came here and found that there were people everywhere.
"I don't know if there will be some ruthless characters this year, and I don't force it. It's good to be half as good as last time."
"It's so naive. Capone Becky is known as the godfather of the West Sea. Such a character is unique and impossible to have this year."
"What about him, we'll have fun watching it. If we fancy someone, we can charge him hundreds of thousands and earn a fortune."
There were pedestrians chatting all the way, and Rhode was secretly surprised. It seemed that this competition was quite well-known, at least most people in Black Harbor knew about it.
"These people should be the Eight Treasures Marines They are really elite, and they are more than one step stronger than the West Sea Revolutionary Army."
Seeing some sturdy figures at the intersection and in the field responsible for maintaining order, Rhodes' eyes flashed a ray of light, but his expression was calm.
In front of his existence, ordinary human sea tactics are meaningless.
In the very center of Panshi Valley, there is a natural stone platform with a radius of several hundred meters, which is equivalent to a square.
The stone platform was already filled with seats. At this time, there were many strong men on the platform fighting naked, which caused a great applause from the audience.
In Rhode's view, this kind of child's home-like fight was boring, so he simply climbed the mountain next to him and walked to a higher place.
Walking halfway up the mountain, he seemed to feel something, and walked quickly to the dense forest on the right.
"boom!"
There seems to be a fight in the jungle.
Rhode took a few steps and saw a middle-aged man.
He is tall and straight, his hands are claws, his steps are slightly staggered, and his expression is relaxed.
Behind him is a boy in white.
The young man has clear eyebrows, fair skin, and a pair of big eyes that are very special. They are actually pale pink, and the shoulder-length hair is also the same color. His handsome appearance is even higher than that of Rhodes.
nonexistent!
How could there be a man more handsome than him in this world?
Rhodes was extremely calm, and the domineering look swept past him. He instantly saw through this person's true gender, and it really was a woman disguised as a man.
And this woman has a kind of grace and grace in her gestures, and her aristocratic temperament is much stronger than that of Weiwei. Obviously, her background is not small.
However, Rhode shook his head and looked at an ancient tree in front of the two with his plain eyes.
There was a giant golden python that was much thicker than a human thigh.
looks like...
It's delicious.
