Chapter 142
On one hand, Luo Bin now stands with the Hundred Beast Group camp represented by Luo Xing, no longer in an adversarial relationship with Maria.
On the other hand,
Maria has already consumed a Devil-class monster cell, and her fruit has evolved into a Mythical Zoan type; her Devil form is beyond Luo Bin's ability to defeat.
However, Luo Xing remains very curious about Luo Bin's Devil form.
Last night, he taught Luo Bin step by step how to cultivate Armament Haki.
He hopes Luo Bin will soon develop the Hana Hana no Mi to the point where she can unleash her Devil form.
The next day.
Inside the Wang Gong of Alabasta.
After being washed by a night of torrential rain, the entire Alabasta was refreshed, as if reborn.
Every citizen's face beamed with a long-lost, brilliant smile.
A beautiful figure in royal blue threw herself before Luo Xing.
"Brother!"
It was Princess Vivi, who Currently Already, just like Rebecca Princess of Dressrosa, addresses Luo Xing as "Brother."
Luo Xing rubbed Vivi's lovely sky-blue hair and said to Nico Luo Bin beside him:
"Next, we are heading to Water Seven to also get our hands on the Pluton blueprints. You will encounter your old enemies, CP9. Do you want to come along?"
Luo Xing's meaning was clearly asking Luo Bin if she wanted to see the fate of her old enemies, CP9.
After all,
with Luo Xing's capabilities, combined with the ruthlessness of Jack and Foxy, how could any dogs of the World Government survive?
Luo Bin shook her head:
"No need. The World Government currently does not know I am hiding in Alabasta. Going to Water Seven would expose my whereabouts and be detrimental to you."
As Nico Luo Bin, the Daughter of the Devil, she is a target the World Government must eliminate.
Whoever shelters her is essentially opposing the World Government, the greatest power of the seas.
Luo Xing said dismissively, "Do you think I would fear this?"
Luo Bin's beautiful eyes glanced at Luo Xing's handsome profile, and she smiled charmingly:
"The famous Fifth Emperor, my lord Luo Xing, of course would not fear the World Government."
"But you must not be fully prepared to go to war with the World Government yet, right?"
"Otherwise, yesterday you would not have let that Blackbeard go."
"You are still waiting for the right moment, am I correct?"
Luo Xing fell silent for a moment, then sighed:
"A woman who is too smart makes a man feel immense pressure."
Luo Bin let out a giggle, looking so stunning she was beyond compare.
Yesterday, she had been thoroughly manipulated and bullied by the man before her; now she had finally won back a small victory.
Vivi looked at Luo Xing, then at Nico Luo Bin, who was formerly Crocodile's companion.
Why did it feel like Brother and this wicked woman were sharing some secret?
Feeling a bit jealous, she tightly hugged Luo Xing's arm and said in a coquettish tone:
"Brother, I want to go to Water Seven. I heard it is a shipbuilding town with all kinds of large ships¨~."
What is there to see in a shipbuilding town? Building beds would be more fitting.
Luo Xing smiled and refused:
"Brother is going this time for important matters. Once everything is finished, I will take you to Water Seven to play."
Having said that.
Luo Xing did not linger any longer; he and Jack and Foxy set off, quietly heading for Water Seven.
……
……
The mayor of Water Seven is named Bingshan, a disciple of the legendary shipwright Tom.
Tom once built a pirate ship for the Pirate King Luo Jie, and for this reason, the World Government sentenced him to death.
Before dying, he handed the blueprints for Pluton to Bingshan.
To prevent the World Government from obtaining the Pluton blueprints, Bingshan quietly entrusted the plans to his junior brother, Franky, for safekeeping.
As a transmigrator who already knew all this, Luo Xing, upon arriving in Water Seven, did not immediately seek out Bingshan.
Instead, he went to Franky's demolition house.
"Wow, who are you people, daring to trespass on my territory, Lord Franky's domain?"
Franky, with his outfit that made one unable to bear looking, struck a bizarre pose, accompanied by his chattering cries.
Luo Xing's goosebumps rose.
Too lazy to waste words, he waved his hand:
"Take this guy away."
Leaving first.
The members of the Franky Family panicked, shouting and screaming:
"Who are you people? Why are you arresting our boss?"
Franky himself struck an eye-painful pose and said confidently:
"If you want to capture me, Lord Franky, then see if you have the skill..."
Tragically, before his words even finished, he was knocked down by a single punch from Jack and was lifted up by Jack as if he were a little chick.
The members of the Franky family were left utterly stunned.
Luo Xing then arrived at Bingshan's mayoral residence.
Bingshan's secretary was CP9 spy Kalifa, wearing a business suit, black stockings, long legs, and a curvaceous figure.
The moment Kalifa saw the three of Luo Xing, her heart gave a sudden jolt.
Her intuition told her that the three before her were by no means ordinary people!
But she was, after all, an elite spy; she did not panic too much, but instead approached Luo Xing and the others with a composed expression, asking with a faint smile:
"Distinguished guests, are you here to see my lord the mayor? What a pity, but my lord the mayor is not here today."
Luo Xing seemed not to hear Kalifa's voice and walked straight inside.
Kalifa's expression changed several times.
She was about to continue blocking them.
This time, Jack needed no instruction from Luo Xing; he raised that massive palm like a millstone and slapped Kalifa's head into watermelon fragments.
Another CP9 spy hidden here, seeing this terrifying scene, was struck with utter horror.
He was more knowledgeable than Kalifa and recognized Jack and Who's-Who.
"That is the Beasts Pirates!"
"How could they appear here?"
"Right, the news the World Government seeks about Pluton must have leaked out; the Beasts Pirates intend to strike first!"
This CP9 agent was quite sharp and guessed the cause and effect correctly.
Without another word, he turned and fled.
Alone as he was, there was absolutely no way he could be a match for the Beasts Pirates' Drought Jack and the Tobiroppo Who's-Who!
Who's-Who gazed in the direction of that person, bloodthirsty light flickering in his eyes.
"Young master, leave this man to me!"
"Never mind, let him escape," Luo Xing said indifferently. "It will serve to summon all the CP9 members, including Rob Lucci, so we don't have to hunt them down one by one."
The secretary of the mayor, Kalifa, having died so miserably, naturally caused the remaining staff to scream in terror.
The screaming drew Bingshan's attention.
Bingshan walked out of his office, saw the blood and brains all over the ground, and Kalifa's headless corpse; his stomach churned violently, and he nearly vomited.
He looked at Luo Xing and the others with a pale face:
"You... who are you?"
Then he saw Franky, held in Jack's hand, and his expression changed even more drastically.
"Let go of my junior brother! What exactly do you want?!"
Luo Xing revealed a hint of a kind smile and said:
