Chapter 147
"It's news about Ace, right, Ma Erke?"
Swordsman Bista, Diamond Joz, and the other captains hurriedly gathered to listen.
Ma Erke gripped the newspaper tightly and said:
"Ace has been captured by the Marines! The Navy plans to publicly execute him!"
"What?!"
Swordsman and the others were shocked, exclaiming:
"Damn Marines, how dare they do this!"
"We must go save Ace!"
"If we save Ace, we'll have to storm the Marine Headquarters!"
"So what? We are the Whitebeard Pirates!"
"We cannot stand by and watch Ace be executed!"
The members of the Whitebeard crew argued back and forth, most clamoring to go to Marine Headquarters to save Ace,
but a small minority believed they shouldn't, as Marine Headquarters was too dangerous, with military strength and combat power far exceeding that of their Whitebeard Pirates...
The crowd argued until their faces turned red.
Bai Huzi's voice suddenly rang out, like a lion king, immediately silencing the crowd's argument.
"Ace must be saved!"
Bai Huzi made the final decision:
"You are all my sons. No matter which of you is captured by the Marines, I, Bai Huzi, will go save you without hesitation!"
The members of the Whitebeard crew were moved to tears, stopping their argument and raising no further objections, shouting in unison:
"Old Man, we will follow you to save Ace, forever at your back!"
At the same moment, the Red Hair Pirates.
Red Hair stared silently at the newspaper.
Benn Beckman puffed on his cigarette.
Lucky Roux, unconcerned, gnawed on a chicken leg and said:
"Captain, are we going to save Fire Fist Ace? He is the son of your former captain, Luo Jie."
Red Hair did not respond for a long time.
By all rights, given his bold and domineering personality, such a matter required no thought.
In the original story, he went to save Ace, but was delayed because he had to stop Kaido.
But in reality,
Red Hair's true identity has some connection with the Five Elders.
Even without the Kaido incident, he could not participate in the Summit War without Gu Ji.
"The situation has indeed become irretrievable; no one can stop it," Red Hair sighed deeply.
He had foreseen this situation when he went to meet Bai Huzi.
Pity that Bai Huzi was unwilling to listen to his advice.
Benn Beckman understood the meaning in Red Hair's words and said:
"Bai Huzi will definitely go save Fire Fist Ace. The war between the Four Emperors and the Navy is inevitable; the era will undergo a drastic change!"
"And the Beasts Pirates, that Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, I suspect will not let this Dahaoji Society opportunity pass; they might make some big move!"
Benn Beckman, worthy of the title of the wisest brain, guessed that Luo Xing would use the Summit War as an opportunity to cause trouble.
But exactly what trouble he would cause, Benn Beckman could not guess.
Mihawk was also in the Red Hair crew; he spoke up:
"That man once said he would change the world, to launch a massive war affecting the entire world. This struggle between Bai Huzi and the Navy might be the prelude to that massive war!"
The expressions of Red Hair and Benn Beckman became Increasingly Solemn.
The Summit War between Bai Huzi and the Navy.
The Beasts Pirates, the massive war of the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing.
Which direction the era would move in, even they could not predict at all.
132. Shadow-Shadow Fruit Evolution: Child Binding Technique, Sengoku's huge mistake!
Thriller Bark is shrouded in dark clouds year-round, isolated from the outside world.
Therefore, Luo Xing, Moria, and the others did not yet know what was happening outside.
However, for Luo Xing, it mattered not whether he knew or not.
After all, as a transmigrator, everything was already clear in his mind, all within the plan.
Luo Xing was quite satisfied with the combination of the Demon Man Oars's powerful physique, Luo Bu's Six Powers martial arts and considerable potential, plus the Dragon-level Monster Cell, which together created the strongest giant in history.
That two-hundred-meter massive size, peerless strength, and extremely fast speed, the moment they appeared before the world, would probably make countless people drop their jaws.
Luo Xing thought leisurely. At this moment, Moria leaned in, his eyes full of desire, saying:
"My lord Luo Xing, could you give me... give me a Monster Cell?"
Although Demon Man Oars was a zombie created by Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit, the former, after consuming the Monster Cell, possessed strength sufficient to crush him.
How could Moria not be envious?
Luo Xing glanced at Moria's significantly thinner stomach, estimating that Moria should be able to withstand the side effects of a Ghost-level Monster Cell, so he was not stingy.
He directly took out a piece of purple flesh and tossed it to him, reminding him:
"Although the grade of this Monster Cell is not as high as Oars's, it is equally incredibly powerful. If you cannot withstand its side effects, you may die."
Moria took it lightly, revealing a touch of the heroic ambition he once displayed when vying for dominance with Kaido, and said confidently:
"Rest assured, my lord Luo Xing."
Then, without hesitation, he swallowed the Ghost-Class Humanoid Cell.
Perona, floating in the air, hurriedly circled around Moria, shouting:
"My lord Moria, are you alright? Won't you die? Sigh, why eat such a thing? You'll become so ugly!"
Perona truly couldn't understand why everyone was scrambling to eat Humanoid Cells.
Anyway, she would never eat one, even if it killed her!
Absalom, who had eaten a Tiger-Class Humanoid Cell long ago, sneered:
"Perona, what does a little girl like you know? Men want powerful strength; looking ugly is something only women care about!"
Perona's eyebrows shot up instantly, and she cried out:
"You're the little girl!"
As she spoke, she summoned her Negative Ghost to pass through Absalom's body.
The next second, Absalom fell to his knees on the ground:
"I'm not even as good as a little girl; I might as well become a lapdog!"
"Hahaha!"
Perona giggled, happily circling in the air.
Accidentally drifting near Luo Xing, her laughter suddenly stopped dead.
Like a mouse seeing a cat, she floated away in a flash.
Luo Xing couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth.
This Ghost Princess was truly mischievous.
Speaking of which,
Every woman Luo Xing took a liking to had her own unique personality and charm, which was also why Luo Xing couldn't help but collect them.
Not long after, Moria completed his evolution.
His Shadow-Shadow Fruit received a massive enhancement, and his strength was even greater than during his Peak Period!
Moria was extremely excited.
Although he had already submitted to Luo Xing, he did not want to be a weakling lost in the crowd.
Luo Xing recalled that when Foxy and others ate Ghost-Class Humanoid Cells, their Devil Fruits evolved from Ancient Types to Mythical Zoan Types.
Moria's was not an Animal-Type Devil Fruit, but there should still be some kind of amplification.
Luo Xing asked:
"Moria, has your Shadow-Shadow Fruit undergone any changes?"
