Chapter 112
In that case, Oars' strength would at least reach the level of the younger giant brother who appeared in the opening of the One Punch Man world.
Luo Xing was looking forward to the surprises the Demon Oars would bring him.
Next,
Luo Xing stayed on Thriller Bark for a day, mainly to inspect the zombie army under Moria.
The more he looked, the more he felt that Moria had wasted the last ten years; not only were there few strong zombies among his subordinates, but the quantity was also small, only four or five thousand.
And with this, he still wanted to take revenge on Kaido and become the Pirate King?
Luo Xing was speechless for a moment, but he did not mock Moria, after all, the latter was now his subordinate.
Luo Xing selected several hundred of the strongest zombies and fed them Tiger-level monster cells.
In an instant, the overall strength of the zombie army doubled.
Moria looked at the monster cells eagerly and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Back then, he had also participated in the scramble for the monster cells that flowed out from Big Mom, but Shanks had intercepted them.
Moria had hated Shanks ever since that time.
Logically speaking, since Moria had become his subordinate, Luo Xing certainly wouldn't be stingy about rewarding him with a Tiger-level monster cell, but Luo Xing didn't give him one.
In Luo Xing's view,
Moria was, after all, a Warlord of the Sea who once dared to contend with his father-in-law Kaido; his strength should at least be able to handle a Demon-level monster cell.
But looking at Moria's bloated body, it was probably tough now.
Luo Xing instructed Moria:
"Work hard on your cultivation and restore your former strength; I will give you higher-level monster cells to eat. At the very least, in this sea, there is still a place for you."
How could Moria have the power to refuse?
He had to constantly adjust his mindset and adapt to the feeling of being ordered around.
105. Checking Perona's body, Empress Hancock's lovesickness (Seeking subscriptions)
Luo Xing had turned Thriller Bark into his third war base, following Dressrosa and Punk Hazard.
As for Cocoyasi Village in the East Blue where Nami was, there was only Alvida, an insignificant subordinate, stationed there, so it didn't count as a true war base.
Thriller Bark was geographically located in the first half of the Grand Line, close to the Sabaody Archipelago.
If he launched troops from here, he would first attack Sabaody, use Sabaody as a springboard to attack the Marine Headquarters Marineford, and finally charge straight to the Holy Land Mary Geoise atop the Red Line!
Luo Xing had a comprehensive plan; he didn't choose his war bases randomly.
Night.
When Luo Xing intended to rest for the night and return to Wano Country tomorrow.
A red shadow floated in stealthily.
Luo Xing sat upright, looking at the red shadow with a half-smile.
The red shadow thought her movements were light and that she was undetected, and just as she was showing a triumphant giggle, her big eyes suddenly met Luo Xing's gaze.
"Ah!!"
The red shadow let out a super loud scream, then turned and fled.
Then, after not running far, she obediently returned.
Looking at Luo Xing, she said:
"Luo... Lord Luo Xing, can you please return my body to me?"
Who else could this eccentric red shadow be but the Ghost Princess Perona?
Her purpose for sneaking in here was simple: to retrieve her own body.
Perona was actually quite angry and depressed inside.
Lord Moria has already agreed to submit to you, so why won't you return the body of a pure, cute, and harmless little girl like me, who has become your subordinate's subordinate?
Ever since they were on the way to see the Demon Oars, Perona had been thinking about this question, and she didn't know how many faces she had made behind Luo Xing's back.
By the time night fell, Luo Xing still had no intention of returning her body.
Perona finally couldn't hold back anymore and mustered up the courage to try and steal it.
She didn't expect to be caught red-handed by Luo Xing.
Perona's expression was aggrieved, her small red mouth pouted, and her round eyes stared straight at Luo Xing, wanting a reason.
"Ahem!"
Luo Xing coughed, feeling a bit like a creepy uncle bullying a cute young girl.
However, Luo Xing quickly regained his composure; he was actually saving Perona.
Otherwise, according to the original plot, Perona would sooner or later be swatted away by Bartholomew Kuma.
Luo Xing said: "Do you know who I am?"
Perona was stunned and replied:
"You are the Imperial Son-in-Law of the Beasts Pirates, the fifth Emperor of the Sea, and a scientist greater than Vegapunk."
Perona stated the identity that the outside world generally recognized for Luo Xing.
Luo Xing shook his head and said: "Anything else?"
Anything else? What else could there be?
How would I know!
This is the first time I've met you, okay?
Perona pouted angrily, then her eyes suddenly rolled, and she remembered an answer, saying excitedly:
"You are also a collector out of interest, and you love collecting different kinds of flowers the most!"
This was what Luo Xing told Perona when they first met; he didn't expect Perona to still remember.
Luo Xing gave Perona an appreciative look; she was teachable.
But since you know I'm a collector, isn't it normal for me to collect your body?
"Cough..."
Luo Xing coughed again, serious and solemn:
"Everything you just said is correct, but you missed one answer. Besides the identities above, I am actually also a doctor."
A doctor?
A look of confusion appeared in Perona's eyes.
Luo Xing looked at Perona's real body lying beside him and said:
"As a doctor with high professional ethics, I just checked your body and found that your physical condition does not match your age."
"You are too small; you can see your toes when you look down. How can this be?"
In this regard, Perona was probably the smallest woman on this sea.
Luo Xing, the good guy, naturally had to help Perona.
Luo Xing took out a bra and said:
"This is something I invented a long time ago; it has a breast-enhancing effect. You must wear it all the time."
"Next time I come to check your body, your physical condition will definitely be greatly improved."
Perona was completely bewildered.
By the time Luo Xing left Thriller Bark the next day, Perona still hadn't come to her senses.
Luo Xing glanced back at Perona's dazed eyes, the corners of his mouth curling into a satisfied arc.
This operation could be considered a complete success.
Not only did he subdue Moria and his zombie army, providing a powerful force for the future war against the World Government.
At the same time, he retrieved the Wano Country national treasure, the Black Blade Shusui, and Luo Xing's collection gained another ghost flower.
Luo Xing suddenly thought of another noble flower, the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock.
Since parting ways in Dressrosa, Luo Xing hadn't encountered the Empress again, and he felt quite regretful.
He had the heart to visit Amazon Lily to help the girls there check their bodies, but he lacked a sufficient reason.
If his wife Yamato found out, she would definitely be suspicious, and it wouldn't be easy to handle if that vinegar jar tipped over.
Luo Xing had to temporarily suppress this thought.
Luo Xing didn't know that when he was thinking of the Empress, the Empress was also thinking of him.
To be precise, ever since she returned to Amazon Lily from Dressrosa that day, Luo Xing's figure would often flash through the Empress's mind involuntarily, and no matter how she tried to erase it, it wouldn't go away.
