The power of belief is not achieved in one step, but with the passage of time, the fermentation of events continues to emerge.
On top of the war, Whitebeard pushed the era of the Great Pirate to its peak, and with his own death, opened a new era.
At the same time, because of that war, for the first time, the world deeply understood the meaning of the Four Emperors, and understood what kind of terrifying power the Four Emperors represented.
As one of the four emperors with the same fame as the original Whitebeard, the incident that Bigo was defeated by the Dragon Slaying Swordsman naturally shook the world, and the speed of the spread was extremely fast.
It spread all over the New World almost on the same day, and then spread to the first half of the great waterway. Even the four seas, where the news was relatively closed, were shocked by this news.
And corresponding to this.
In the next period of time, the power of faith came like a tide and was used by Rhodes for physical evolution.
but.
From four-tenths to five-tenths, the power of faith consumed is far more than Rhodes imagined.
The time of this retreat was much longer than the last time, and it took nearly 30 days to finally complete the evolution.
...
"Finally finished."
Rhodes slowly opened his eyes.
His pupils were pitch-black, like the purest obsidian, with a silver light flickering in them, slowly disappearing.
Rhodes stood up and looked at his hands.
The skin is as delicate as a baby, and there is not a single pore to see. It has evolved to this point, and he is quite different from ordinary humans.
"As I expected, five out of ten, half of the progress, really changed again."
Don't look at his thin skin and tender flesh now, but that layer of skin is harder than steel, so if a bullet hits it, there will be no trace of it.
"This kind of physical defense, even if it is not as good as the beast Kaido, and even less than the bigo known as the steel balloon, but it is far stronger than the average human."
In terms of physical defense alone, except for a very few monsters in this world, they are actually not strong.
For example, Cap was slashed by Colonel Monka, the redhead was bitten off by the King of the Sea, and Whitebeard suffered numerous gunshot wounds before his death.
For these people, if they don't use their armament colors and don't dodge, the average powerhouse is enough to cause damage.
The previous Rhodes and Karp were similar.
But as the physique evolved to five-tenths stage, Rhodes' body transformed again, and something changed.
His skin has become extremely tough, enough to ignore the attacks of ordinary powerhouses!
Yes, ignore it!
This is very scary!
It means that Rhodes stood there, even if he didn't move, and let ordinary soldiers attack, they couldn't break the defense.
In a battle of the same rank, a strong defense will also give Rhodes a very high fault tolerance rate.
This has always been the patent of bigo and Kaido, and countless people are envious of it. At this time, Rhodes also initially possessed this ability.
"In terms of strength..."
Rhodes slowly clenched his fair fist and felt the surging power in his body, as if he had a feeling that he could pierce the crust with one punch.
This is of course the illusion brought about by the skyrocketing power, but his physique has evolved to this point, and his strength has become unbelievably strong.
Even Bigo, who is known as a monster and is huge in size, is not far from Kaido, the beast.
"Even if a giant warship is here, I can tear it down with my bare hands." Rhode smiled.
At this time, even if he does not use the power of swordsmanship and thunder, he can traverse the sea with this physical body alone, like a pirate with a reward of four or five billion, and he can blow it up with one punch!
"How strong am I now?"
Rhodes slowly walked out of the secret room, looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, and saw that the night was like water, and he couldn't help but feel a touch of loneliness in his heart.
He was only nineteen years old, and he was almost invincible in the world.
"I don't know how powerful Whitebeard was at his peak..." Rhodes was a little lost.
His comprehensive strength at this time has undoubtedly surpassed that of Bigo and Kaido.
As for Blackbeard, that's a younger brother.
And the red-haired Shanks... may be a little more difficult than the first three, but other than that the legendary tyrant's territory needs to be paid attention to, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Can the original white beard do this?
Rhode does not know and does not know, but this does not prevent him from understanding his own strength.
"Have you become the strongest in the world? It's surprisingly easy."
Rhodes thought lightly, turned around, and walked towards the artificial hot spring.
After retreating for a month, without taking a bath, although my body is almost free of dust, it is still a little uncomfortable.
After a while, Rhodes came outside the hot spring.
"Lord Rhodes..."
Seeing Rhodes appearing, the female manager of the hot spring house was shocked, got up quickly, and saluted.
"Um."
Rhodes smiled and nodded.
The female manager's face turned red, and she felt as if she had been electrocuted.
God, Lord Rhodes is too handsome! And so gentle!
Her heart was pounding like a deer, resisting her inner excitement, she took out a bathrobe that had been prepared for a long time, and put it on Rod gently.
"Luo, Lord Rhodes, do you want... do you want to rub your back?"
She blushed, her hands tightly clenched.
Rhodes glanced at her and found that he was still quite handsome and had a good figure. In particular, he had a very pure temperament and a sense of grace. It was estimated that he came from a noble family.
It stands to reason that in her capacity, she should not manage a hot spring, but considering the existence of Rhodes, it can be understood.
In Dressrosa, Rhodes is equivalent to the existence of the emperor, supreme, and no one wants to have a relationship with him.
In particular, she is very handsome, which makes these girls even more excited.
Rhodes was actually a little troubled by this.
The women of Dressrosa have always been known for their enthusiasm and openness.
Sometimes he walks on the street, and there are no guards nearby, and the beautiful girl is like a moth to a fire, constantly rushing, some unrestrained, even naked, swinging a big white rabbit, profoundly showing the demeanor of a female hooligan. .
"Need not."
After a while, Rhodes refused the request, and he could clearly feel the disappointment of the girl in front of him, but he didn't care and walked into the hot spring.
The hot and humid breath rushed towards the face, and the white fog was hazy, and it was impossible to see the scene in the spring pool.
But Rhodes could clearly sense two familiar auras, playing in the hot spring pool.
He restrained his breath, did not speak, just quietly admired.
After a while, feeling that the body that had just evolved was a little restless, Rhode blinked and walked directly into the hot spring pool.
"Crash..."
The sound of breaking the water alarmed the two people in the hot spring.
"someone is coming?"
Weiwei's face changed slightly, she quickly pushed Robin's hands away, and scattered the other hands on her body.
"Some unscrupulous man has come."
Robin pouted.
"How dare you say that I have no integrity? It seems that you must have a good experience."
When Rhodes' voice came, Vivi suddenly showed a surprised and shy look.
The surprise was that I didn't expect to meet Rhodes, and of course I was shy because I was still clueless at this time.
She retracted into the spring pool, only showing a small head, and then saw a scene that made people blush.
It's been a long night...
