Chapter 101

"Young Master, when shall we attack Punk Hazard?"

Luo Xing paused, then smiled:

"It seems you all know. This time, the two of you won't be needed."

As his words fell, heavy thud-thud-thud footsteps echoed from the laboratory behind them.

Queen and Jack both widened their eyes, staring inside.

They knew Young Master must have another new invention.

Five towering silver-white robots, each over ten meters tall, stepped out.

Queen's eyes gleamed: "Is this a mecha?"

As a cyborg and biochemist, Queen did have some understanding of mechas.

And as a man, who could resist the allure of a mecha?

Queen stepped forward and touched it with his hand.

The hard metallic texture, the sleek lines, the perfect mechanical structure, and the wings on its back—Queen's drool was practically about to drip down.

"So cool! Truly the most perfect masterpiece in this world!"

"Huh, what's this on the thigh... a turbine?"

Queen suddenly let out a soft "huh," asking in confusion:

"Young Master, why did you install turbines?"

Luo Xing smiled slightly and said, "Of course, for underwater combat."

In the World of Pirates, where the sea is the primary terrain, Luo Xing naturally modified the Cybertronians to ensure they could maneuver flexibly even beneath the waves.

Queen was stunned.

Mechas are for land battles; can they fight in water too?

Crucially, given this robot's size and structure, even with the thrust from the turbines, movement underwater would be inconvenient.

Seeing Queen's confusion, Luo Xing explained:

"This thing is called a Cybertronian; it is a transforming robot."

"It has two forms: one is the current mecha form, and the other is the beast form."

"The mecha form can fire its equipped weaponry with maximum efficiency, making it suitable for long-range attacks on enemies."

"The beast form is more agile and possesses greater strength, making it suitable for tearing enemies apart at close range."

"At the same time, the wings on its back grant it aerial combat capabilities, while the turbines on its legs provide naval combat capabilities."

Queen and Jack were completely dumbfounded, staring blankly as if listening to heavenly scripture.

Jack said, "This guy is almost like Big Boss Kaido; he can fight on sea, land, and air."

Although Jack was a bit of a simpleton, he actually spoke the truth.

The Cybertronians invented by Luo Xing are true three-domain combat robots, with virtually no weaknesses.

And when Kaido saw the Cybertronians, he was utterly amazed, roaring with laughter.

That thunderous laughter made the entire Onigashima tremble several times.

Kaido said to Luo Xing:

"On this great sea, the number of people capable of fighting across sea, land, and air terrains is few."

Indeed, few; because many of the strong in the World of Pirates are Devil Fruit users.

And Devil Fruit users are immediately ruled out for naval combat.

Even Kaido's combat power would drop significantly in the sea.

From this perspective, the Cybertronians invented by Luo Xing even surpass Kaido!

After humbly accepting the praise, Luo Xing said to Scorching Heat King:

"For this Punk Hazard battle, you will lead five Cybertronians."

"Eliminate all the Marines and World Government personnel there, and bring Punk Hazard under the control of my Beasts Pirates!"

King solemnly accepted the order.

"Leave it to me, Young Master!"

Voom~

A massive pterosaur spread its wings and shot skyward.

The five Cybertronians transformed into ferocious beasts and likewise soared into the sky.

They flew straight toward Punk Hazard.

On Punk Hazard Island.

A middle-aged man with a sly appearance, wearing a yellow-striped coat, was clipping his nails, occasionally letting out a few yawns.

Standing beside him was a huge figure carrying an axe on his shoulder.

"Old man Huang Yuan, if the Beasts Pirates aren't coming, can't we go find them? Waiting like this, how long will it take!"

"Sentomaru, don't be so impatient; things must be done step by step."

"But old man, we've been on Punk Hazard for nearly four days, and there's been no progress at all!"

Huang Yuan Borsalino, lying in the chair, heard this and immediately showed a dissatisfied expression, saying:

"What do you mean 'no progress at all'? Since I arrived, hasn't the Beasts Pirates not appeared even once?"

"The raw material for the artificial Devil Fruits, SAD, remains intact; that is the greatest progress!"

Sentomaru wore a speechless expression.

You've just been lying here for a full four days, and that's your greatest progress?

Yet he couldn't think of any rebuttal, after all, Huang Yuan was stating facts.

Sentaro growled in anger:

"But if the Beasts Pirates never come, will we just keep waiting here?"

Huang Yuan, while clipping his nails, nodded casually:

"Mm-hmm, that's right."

Sentaro stormed off in a huff.

Huang Yuan watched Sentaro's retreating back and let out a sigh:

"Young people are just foolish; why work nine-to-nine, six-days-a-week for such meager pay?"

Admiral Huang Yuan Borusarino, who resolutely implements ambiguous justice, lives by the creed: for how much pay, so much effort.

You Navy and World Government pay me so little and expect me to fight the strongest Yonko crew; is that fair?

How much you pay, how much work I do.

I, Huang Yuan, clock out on time; I never work overtime.

Huang Yuan stood up and let out a huge yawn.

Another fulfilling day of doing nothing; time to go home and sleep.

Just as he was about to leave, his peripheral vision caught a few black dots in the distant sky, speeding rapidly toward him.

"Wow, such incredible speed; it's terrifying, isn't it?"

Huang Yuan shoved both hands into his pockets and stared intently at those black dots.

As the distance closed, Huang Yuan could make out the specific forms of the black dots.

Huang Yuan's eyes widened, and he twisted his mouth:

"Oh my, that great winged dragon; could it be Kaido's top three trump cards, the Heat Disaster, King?"

"And what are the five fierce beasts following King? Zoan-type users? Or some special weapons?"

"Sigh, I truly have a very ominous feeling, don't I?"

Huang Yuan sighed deeply; could anyone even get off work peacefully anymore?

But while he sighed, his subordinate Sentaro was extremely excited.

"Finally, the Beasts Pirates have come; I thought they were all cowards!"

Sentaro rubbed his fists together, ready to fight with all his might.

The Marine soldiers on Punk Hazard also hurriedly gathered, standing ready for battle.

Moreover, ten colossal figures, identical in appearance to the Warlord Bartholomew Kuma, stood firmly in this place.

Huang Yuan zipped forward in an instant, appearing before Sentaro, and spoke in a lazy tone:
