CHAPTER 24 *HIDDEN* (1/2)

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Bastille did not understand what Ross meant.

Whether Ross felt that his rank was very high, or very low, he could not see it from Ross’s expression.

Ross’ expression was as if he is looking at his prey, but this expression was very strange and laughable in Bastille eyes.

Prey?

He is the captain of the West BlueT4 branch and not the Marine Captain of those branch divisions. His strength has already surpassed the pirates that have the bounty of more than 50 million Berries and he had defeated more than one of those pirates!

Such that before long, with his achievements and age, he will be able to transfer to Headquarters to serve a post or to a large base on the Grand Line and become a Vice-Admiral.

Ross dared to show him this kind of look?

Ridiculous.

And the Marine branch that he leads has already docked two Battleships on the shoreline. Even if Ross wants to escape, he will be bombed by close-range bombardments, including people and ship.

“It seems that you are not willing to surrender…”

Bastille’s aura changed from calm to fierce in an instant and he unknowingly revealed a ferocious expression on his face under the bull-head mask.

But there is no doubt of that when he held the handle of his Shark Cutter, the pressure of a strong expert was revealed and it made Capone Bege in the distance look dignified.

“Godfather, Victor and Leckie are already…”

“The guns group have at least 114 casualties and the artillery team has at least 19 casualties.”

“The loss is very heavy.”

There were scattered members of the criminal organization as well as a large number of Marine forces who came over here and members of the criminal organization reported to Capone Bege.

Marine’s attitude towards the members of the criminal organization is very unfriendly, but due to the orders of their superiors, the criminal organization members such as Capone Bege were ignored.

“The loss is very serious, but it does not affect the overall situation.”

Capone Bege said with a calm expression, as he had a cigar in his mouth while looking at Bastille and Ross who were confronting each other in the distance.

Although Bastille is proud, he doesn’t look down on Ross. Any pirate that has the ability to throw West Blue into chaos, he needs to face them seriously.

Chiii!

His both hands gripped the handle of the Shark Cutter as he fiercely waved it towards Ross. A heavy momentum, bringing along a terrifying and invisible attack, swept obliquely towards Ross.

This enormous Shark Cutter can very easily shot out formless attacks by only relying brute force, not to mention that Bastille’s own sword arts were also very extraordinary.

However.

Such a powerful attack also has its weakness that is the speed which is too slow, Ross only needs to step slightly to one side to avoid the attack.

“Soru.”

Ross’s gaze was like a lion staring at its prey, calm and steady, as he stepped forward and rushed towards Bastille.

Bastille had read all the information on Ross and he knew that Ross could use Soru of Marine’s Rokushiki and has the ability to distort steel and even bullets, so when Ross rushed over, he didn’t panic, and lifted his huge Shark Cutter and with a mighty force slammed it downwards towards Ross.

“Haaa!”

Because of the close distance, this attack was more difficult to dodge than the previous attack as it directly chops downwards towards Ross.

However, just as the sword fell, Ross’ body suddenly just like a piece of paper, swayed and dodged the attack.
