CHAPTER 7 IF THERE IS NO OTHER CHOICE (1/2)

Haig town.

At first glance, it seemed like an ordinary town but the residents of this town are living in fear and trepidation because there are often a large number of Capone Mafia members appearing in the town.

These gangsters collude with local authorities and even have inside trading with Marines. Many times they arbitrarily kill and set fire to anything they hate and Marine only do a symbolic inspection.

Center of the town.

In a building which has a simple exterior but very luxurious interior.

In a hall on the top floor of the building, a tall fat man wearing a black suit was sitting there watching the information in his hand that had just been sent to him. He shook his head while looking at the report with disdain.

“Marines are still useless as always. If you had surrounded the place in advance then you can’t let a Pirate Hunter escape, that is just pathetic.” The man saying this is Capone Leckie. He is one of several High-Level members of the criminal syndicate Capone Family and is responsible for the development of his Underground organization in this area.

A man in a black suit with glasses stood next to him and said: “The strength possessed by Ghost Hand Ross was a bit unexpected. Leader, do you think that this will involve us?”

“What involvement? I have already investigated all the information on Ghost Hand Ross, he has always been alone. Can he even fight us alone? Our troops will not lose even if they have to compete with the entire Marine division. Hewon’t be able to do anything to us. “

Leckie shook his head disdainfully and picked up a glass of red wine on the table.

However.

Just as he put the glass of red wine on his lips, the entire building suddenly shook with a dull roar and the red wine in the cup spilled on him.

Leckie was furious as he stood up after putting the glass down.

“What? What happened?”

“Le…Leader Leckie, this is not good, someone has invaded from outside!” A Capone Mafia’s subordinate frantically ran over from outside, and reported to Leckie with a terrified look on his face.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the atmosphere in the entire hall froze, while the maid’s hand who was trying to clean Leckie’s suit trembled, her eyes revealing a panic-stricken look.

Leckie was startled and asked: “Who has invaded? Are they Marines or Dupo Mafia’s bastards? Why was there be no news?

“No… not Marine nor Dupo Mafia. Its Ghost Hand Ross, he rushed in alone!”

The member of the mafia trembled in fear.

Leckie’s eyes were wide open, “Ghost Hand Ross? Did he come alone? What are you guys doing then, go out there and kill him using all of our forces!”

Just as he finished giving orders there was a loud bang at the door and the exquisite red oak door exploded, sawdust was flying everywhere and at that moment a figure came in.

“Who is… Capone Leckie?”

Ross’s clothes were a bit messed up, but the expression in his eyes was completely different, the moment Ross’ eyes fall upon them, they felt their entire body froze up, and they felt as if they were standing outside in a blizzard.

The several people in the hall couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards Capone Leckie, and Ross’s gaze also shifted towards him.

“The situation in Tarot town was done by you, wasn’t it?”

Ross looked indifferently at Capone Leckie.

Capone Leckie was shocked by the intimidating aura produced by Ross, but after all, he was also one of the high-level officer of the Capone Family. He quickly calmed down and said coldly.

“What about it?”

As Capone Leckie’s voice fell, members of Capone Mafia rushed in and the hallway outside was completely packed with people.

“It’s good that I did not found the wrong person.”

Ross didn’t care about the Capone Mafia members outside who came from all over the place. After confirming that it was indeed Leckie, he nodded as he shook his wrist and took out a pistol, fired six shots from his gun instantly killing six criminal organization members who rushed in.

Ross followed that act by throwing the pistol aside and rushed directly towards Capone Leckie.

Ross was surrounded by hundreds of people holding guns and other weapons, the situation was not very good for Ross, so he did not intend to waste any time.

“Don’t be too arrogant, boy!”

Capone Leckie’s eyes were filled with coldness and anger, he quickly took out two pistols and shot at Ross.

Ross avoided the bullets shot at him by Capone Leckie by using Marine’s Rokushiki Shave(Soru).

“Damn!”

Capone Leckie didn’t expect Ross to avoid his bullets at such a close distance. After the barrel of the gun was emptied, he pulled out a long sword at his waist and prepared to fight Ross out.

Ross’s eyes were indifferent, he did not retreat and also didn’t draw the sword. Instead, his five fingers clenched into fist and slammed into Capone Leckie’s sword.

Buzz!

Ross didn’t use Armament Haki’s, but his hands were wrapped in distortion power working exactly like Whitebeard Tremor-Tremor Fruit, but the color on his hands was not white but it was colorless and transparent and distorted the air present around it.

This is the new ability that Ross can display after his Proficiency in Distortion Fruit has reached 75.

He can attach distortion power directly to his fist. Although he can’t do any long-range attack, he still has the ability to deal with any sword bare-handed!

Ka!

When Capone Leckie’s sword touched the partially distorted area around the fist, the entire sword was forced into the air by a force and it became very difficult to move the sword even by an inch!

“Devil Fruit User…”

Capone Leckie’s pupils shrank but at this time he was already unable to change anything. He screamed, his hands still clenching the hilt of his sword and tried to chop it down.
