Chapter 351 *Hidden*

Chapter 351 *Hidden*

Red Line.

Riding the bubble cable car, a group of World Government people were escorting a large number of items as arrived at Port 3 on the edge of Holy Land.

“Finally delivered … the Heavenly Tribute.”

Some government officials were relieved to finally reach the harbor.

Escorting the Heavenly Tribute is not a perfectly safe job, although CP0 escorts it all the way but occasionally looting occurs.

And.

The collection of Heavenly Tribute is not a thing that can be accomplished peacefully. Some countries and its people are going through poverty, they can not even afford to eat so it is even more impossible for them to pay the Heavenly Tribute. They are already on the edge of a cliff.

“It was a tough job for you.”

A government official spoke to the CP0 member.

The CP0 member waved his hand and said, “It was nothing, now it will be delivered to the World Noble.”

“Yes, let me escort you over.”

The World Government officials will be returning to the Pangaea Castle and CP0 will perform the remaining transfer work.

Several CP0 people nodded, this is not the first time that they had escorted Heavenly Tribute.

And just then.

A CP0 Captain suddenly looked strangely in one direction.

“What happened?”

The person next to him asked.

CP0 Captain released his Observation Haki to feel everything in that direction but he could not feel anything and shook his head.

“It’s nothing……”

Maybe it was a misconception.

Just after the Heavenly Tribute had departed, the Void Distortion suddenly appeared beside some red rock in the direction where that CP0 captain had looked. It was Ross.

He did not choose to invade directly from above Holy Land, because according to the intelligence he had learned, there was some kind of special equipment to monitor real-time situations above Mariejois to prevent anyone from trying to invade and pass from the sky.

Using Light Distortion and Sound Distortion, he moved from the bottom of the sea to the Red Line easily.

However.

He was nearly caught by the CP0’s Captain and narrowly escaped detection. Light Distortion and Sound Distortion were unable to escape from Kenbonshoku Haki.

And the only way to avoid Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki is the trick he just used … To hide inside the Space itself.

Utilizing the ability of Space Distortion to wrap the entire space around him, so that even the Observation Haki can only pass through the Distorted Space and cannot reach Ross’ body.

Naturally.

This ability also has its flaws, that is, he also gets trapped in a single position and it is hard for him to move in any direction.

If he wants to move in this state, it is tantamount to maintaining the space that surrounds him like a quilt, while still moving the space ahead of him and around him to move.

Although Ross can do it, but the consumption of stamina is too large and the speed of movement is too slow, so this ability can only be regarded as simple and will only be used to escape detection.

“Heavenly Tribute …”

Ross stared at the direction in which the CP0 and the government officials leaving and there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

He has seen too much about the ugly side of the world, and he will not be moved by this.

Tenryubito has been doing these kinds of things for a long time now and nobody does anything to prevent it because they know that nothing will change.

But now that he is here, the person who will do something about this and more will not be the Revolutionary Army or the Pirate King, it will be him.

He took a step forward.

Ross followed the people who escorted the Heavenly Tribute and quickly passed the artificial green forest in the first half of Mariejois and reached the World Government’s center, Pangaea Castle.

This building, which is not so tall gives people a majestic and grandeur feeling even when one looks at it from a distance.

Even MarineHeadquarters, which Ross had destroyed, was no match for the seemingly defenseless Pangaea Castle.

Because it represents the center of the World Government, the supreme power of the World Government stands here.

“Pangaea Castle …”

Ross glanced at the Pangaea Castle, his eyes shimmering slightly.

He did not use his Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki to perceive the situation, because there is no shortage of strong people who are proficient in Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki inside that palace. Once he uses Kenbonshoku (Observation) to perceive something, the other party can also discover his existence.

Just to say.

Ross is not afraid of Gor?sei (Five Elder Stars).

Because Gor?sei (Five Elder Stars) are just the top five people among tenryubito. As tenryubito, they possess a large political power, but they don’t have much power themself and can only deploy powerhouses to do their bidding.

Will a Tenryubito go to Battle?

No, they won’t.

They have no experience of any real fight and they aren’t that strong to begin with anyway. Even if they use the government’s intelligence department to collect the top Devil Fruit and eat them, they still won’t be any stronger than a Marine Admiral.

What really made Ross hesitate was the person hiding behind the scenes.

Why would Doflamingo know that a Surgeon-Surgeon Fruit user can use Perpetual Youth Surgery? There is no doubt that someone must have used this operation in the past.

What happens if a person lives for hundreds of years?

There may be limits to physical fitness and the like, but things like Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki and Armament Haki will probably reach a terrifying level.

At least Ross is pretty sure that if he lived for a few hundred years, he would be able to handle his current self with on hand tied behind his back.

Naturally.

It doesn’t mean that he is afraid.

Today he … is recognized as the strongest person in the world!

Since a long time ago, he has never had any fear of World Government, and now he is the strongest person in the world, it is even more impossible for him to fear the World Government!

“The Soul-Soul Fruit should be placed in the core warehouse, but it still needs to be confirmed.”

Ross murmured.

Holy Land Mariejois has a huge warehouse that stores all kinds of weapons, contraband and the like.

In addition to the warehouse on the side, there is a core warehouse, which stores extremely valuable things. Even Tenryubitos are prohibited from taking anything from the core warehouse without the permission of Gor?sei (Five Elder Stars).

For the location of the core warehouse, Ross has learned it from the intelligence, which is a favorable situation for him.

Whoosh!

Ross used Light Distortion to reflect the image of a government official in his memory onto himself, replacing his appearance.

Looking at the Pangaea Castle in front of him, Ross walked forward.

He doesn’t need to worry about being spotted.

Except for the top practitioner of Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, the general Kenbonshoku (Observation) users would only be able to sense human movements and not his figure.

Therefore, the external image produced by Light Distortion can still confuse most people.

Quickly.

Ross walked to the main gate of the Pangaea Castle and the guards outside Pangaea Castle saw Ross and saluted at Ross and let him enter the palace without any obstruction.

After entering the Pangaea Castle, Ross walked around naturally. After going around, he began to look for the accurate news of Soul-Soul Fruit.

Although he hasn’t done intelligence collection for a long time, he would still be able to do this.

Not long after.

Ross got accurate intelligence. The Soul-Soul Fruit was sent to Holy Land Mariejois one day ago and was logged into the warehouse. It was indeed included in the core warehouse.
