Chapter 115
In that case, Oz's strength would at the very least reach the level of the giant brother who debuted at the start of the One-Punch World.
Luo Xing had high expectations that the demon Oz would bring him a surprise.
Next,
Luo Xing stayed on the Thriller Bark for a day, mainly inspecting Moria's zombie army.
The more he looked, the more he felt Moria had wasted ten years of his life; not only were few of his zombies strong, but their numbers were also low, totaling only four or five thousand.
With this, he still wanted to take revenge on Kaido and become the Pirate King?
Luo Xing was speechless, yet he did not mock Moria, since the latter was now his subordinate.
Luo Xing selected the strongest few hundred from the zombies and fed them Tiger-class Monster Cells.
Instantly, the overall strength of the zombie army doubled.
Moria watched the Monster Cells with eager eyes and swallowed his saliva.
Back then, when Monster Cells leaked from Big Mom, he had participated in the raid, only to have Red Hair cut in and steal them.
Since that time, Moria had hated Red Hair.
Logically, since Moria had become his subordinate, Luo Xing certainly would not have been stingy about rewarding him with a Tiger-class Monster Cell, but Luo Xing did not give him one.
In Luo Xing's view,
Moria was after all one of the Seven Warlords, who had once dared to challenge his father-in-law Kaido; his strength should at least be able to consume a Ghost-class Monster Cell.
But looking at Moria's bloated body, he was probably in no shape for it now.
Luo Xing instructed Moria:
"Train hard and restore your former strength; I will give you higher-grade Monster Cells to consume. At the very least, there is still a place for you on this Grand Line."
Moria had no power to refuse.
He had to constantly adjust his mindset and adapt to the feeling of receiving orders from others.

Luo Xing turned Thriller Bark into the third war base, following Dressrosa and Punk Hazard.
As for the Cocoyasi Village in the East Blue where Nami resides, only the insignificant subordinate Alvida is there, so it does not count as a true war base.
Thriller Bark is located in the first half of the Grand Line, near the Sabaody Archipelago.
If troops are dispatched from here, they would first attack Sabaody, use Sabaody as a springboard, then strike the Marine Headquarters at Marineford, and finally charge straight for the Holy Land Mary Geoise atop the Red Line!
Luo Xing had a comprehensive plan; he did not choose the war base arbitrarily.
Night.
When Luo Xing intended to rest for the night and return to Wano the next day.
A red shadow quietly drifted in.
Luo Xing sat upright, watching that red shadow with a half-smile.
The red shadow thought her movements were very light, unnoticed by gods or men, and was just revealing a triumphant grin when her large eyes suddenly met Luo Xing's gaze.
"Ahh!!"
The red shadow let out a super loud scream, then turned and fled.
Then, after not running far, she obediently came back.
She looked at Luo Xing and said:
"Luo... Luo Xing my lord, could you please return this Young Lady's body to me?"
This whimsical red shadow could be none other than 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.
Even Lord Moria has agreed to submit to you; why won't you return this cute, harmless, pure little girl's body, since she has become the subordinate of your subordinate?
From the moment she went to see the demon Oz on the road novel, Perona had been thinking about this question nonstop, making countless grimaces behind Luo Xing's back.
By nightfall, when Luo Xing still showed no intention of returning her body,
Perona finally could not hold back and, summoning her courage, came to steal it.
Unexpectedly, she was caught red-handed by Luo Xing.
Perona's expression was aggrieved; her small red lips pouted, and her round eyes stared straight at Luo Xing, wanting a reason.
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Luo Xing coughed once, feeling like a strange uncle bullying a cute 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 slapped away by Bartholomew Kuma.
Luo Xing said, "Do you know who I am?"
Perona replied, stunned:
"You are the Imperial Son-in-Law of the Beasts Pirates, the fifth Emperor of the Sea, and a scientist greater than Vegapunk."
Perona spoke out the identity that the outside world generally recognized for Luo Xing.
Luo Xing shook his head and said, "And what else?"
And what else, what else is there?
How would this Young Lady know!
This is the first time I have ever seen you, okay?
Perona puffed her cheeks in anger, then suddenly her eyes rolled, she remembered an answer, and said excitedly:
"You are also a collector driven by interest, who loves to collect different kinds of flowers the most!"
This was what Luo Xing told Perona when they first met; he did not expect Perona to remember it.
Luo Xing gave Perona an appreciative look; Ruzike Sect indeed.
But since you know I am a collector, is it not normal for me to collect your body?
"Ahem..."
Luo Xing coughed again, speaking seriously and solemnly:
"Everything you just said is correct, but you missed one answer. Besides the identities mentioned above, I am actually a doctor."
A doctor?
Perona's eyes showed a look of confusion.
Luo Xing looked at Perona's true form lying beside him and said:
"As a doctor of high professional ethics, I just examined 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 is probably the smallest woman on this great sea.
The good man Luo Xing, of course, must help Perona.
Luo Xing took out a bra and said:
"This is something I invented long ago; it has a breast-enhancing effect. You must wear it all the time."
"When I come to examine your body again next time, your physical condition will surely improve greatly."
Perona was completely stunned.
By the time Luo Xing left the Thriller Bark the next day, Perona had not yet come to her senses.
Luo Xing glanced back at Perona's dazed eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved into a satisfied arc.
This operation can be considered a complete success.
Not only did he subdue Moria and his zombie army under his command, providing a powerful force for launching a war against the World Government in the future,
but he also retrieved the national treasure of Wano Country, the black blade Ame no Habakiri, and Luo Xing's collection gained another ghost flower.
Luo Xing suddenly remembered another noble flower, the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock.
Since parting ways in Dressrosa, Luo Xing had not met the Empress again, and he felt somewhat regretful in his heart.
He had the intention to go to Amazon Lily to help the girls there check their bodies, but he lacked a sufficient reason.
If his wife Yamato found out, she would surely suspect him; if that vinegar jar overturned, it would be hard to clean up.
Luo Xing could only suppress this thought for the time being.
Luo Xing did not know that when he thought of the Empress, the Empress was also thinking of him.
To be precise, since that day when she returned to Amazon Lily from Dressrosa, the Empress's mind would often involuntarily flash with Luo Xing's figure, which she could not erase no matter how hard she tried.
