Chapter 148

Moria felt it and said:

"There is a change, my lord Luo Xing, please look."

Only to see Moria's shadow suddenly stretch out and connect with Absalom's shadow.

A strange scene appeared.

No matter what action Moria performed, Absalom would follow along.

If Moria remained motionless, no matter how much force Absalom exerted, he could not move a single inch.

A strange expression inevitably appeared on Luo Xing's face.

This evolution of the Moria Fruit looks exactly like the Child Binding Technique of the Nara clan in the World of Naruto?

But thinking about it, it is quite normal, after all, both involve playing with shadows.

And binding others' shadows to control their movements is an extremely terrifying ability.

After all, no matter how powerful a figure is, they all have shadows and could all be controlled, at least bound for a period of time.

And in a Duel Between the strong, this brief binding is enough to determine victory or defeat.

Luo Xing told Moria to cultivate this ability diligently.

Night.

Luo Xing arrived at a room.

On the round bed in the room lay Perona's physical body.

Perona's spirit floated behind Luo Xing and said fearfully:

"Y-you... what do you want to do? You won't make me eat a Monster Cell, will you? Don't make me, I absolutely won't eat it even if I die! Boo hoo!"

Luo Xing directly grabbed Perona's physical body by her twin tails and said with a smile:

"Rest assured, how could I bear to make you eat a Monster Cell?"

"You don't want me to eat it? That's great!"

Perona jumped up happily.

Then she saw her physical body had fallen into Luo Xing's hands, so her face turned bitter again, and she said weakly:

"Luo... my lord Luo Xing, please don't bully me, I am just a cute, pitiful girl."

Luo Xing held Perona's physical body by her twin tails with one hand, supported her small waist with the other, made her sit on his lap, and said with a serious expression:

"How could I bully you? I am a doctor, just giving you a physical examination."

"Come, do not be afraid, return inside your physical body."

Perona was about to cry.

But she dared not disobey, so while crawling back into her physical body, she sighed sorrowfully in her heart:

"Sigh, a cute, pitiful Princess is being bullied by a bad guy; why hasn't a Prince come to save me? Boo hoo~~"

Luo Xing indicated that he was the Prince, and he was indeed saving Perona.

See, Perona had been looking down at her toes, everything was completely visible.

Now it was almost impossible to hold back.

Where in this world is there a Prince as good as Luo Xing?

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Sengoku received intelligence from the New World: the Whitebeard Pirates were going to use the full strength of their crew to rescue Fire Fist Ace.

A war between the Marines and an Emperor was unavoidable!

Although the Marines held an absolute advantage, they could not be the slightest bit careless.

Because that guy Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, possessed the power to destroy the world!

In his office, Sengoku summoned Garp, Tsuru, the three Admirals, Warlord Bartholomew Kuma, and several elite Vice Admirals including Wosuke.

Sengoku said with a serious expression:

"Regarding the war with the Whitebeard Pirates, we absolutely cannot relax even the slightest bit!"

"Aokiji, you go gather the Marine branches in the Four Seas and the Grand Line, assemble one hundred thousand officer marines, and guard Marineford!"

"Huang Yuan, Kuma, Wosuke, and the other Vice Admirals, you go notify those arrogant Warlords; tell them they must participate in the war against the Whitebeard Pirates on the day of the execution. If they refuse, directly strip them of their Warlord titles!"

"Akainu, Little Tsuru, you must send people to strictly monitor the movements of the Beasts Pirates, especially Punk Hazard and Dressrosa!"

"These two places are not far from the Marine Headquarters; we must strictly guard against them making small moves while we are fighting the Whitebeard Pirates!"

It must be said that Sengoku's title of "Strategist" is truly deserved.

He considered everything extremely thoroughly, deployed his forces very reasonably, and even thought of the possibility that the Beasts Pirates might take advantage of the situation.

But thinking of this point was useless.

Because Sengoku only knew to guard against Punk Hazard and Dressrosa, but did not know that Moria's Thriller Bark was Luo Xing's true direction of attack!

And this lack of intelligence will be the greatest and irreparable huge mistake for the Marines and the World Government in this Summit War!

133, System Upgrade LV7, Develop Farenyi Sect

Perona, this little girl rich in psychological drama, sometimes giggling and sometimes crying, is truly fun to bully.

Especially her pink twin tails, which are very easy to grab and exert force on.

In the original story, Perona two years later changed to a single ponytail; how can this be allowed?

Luo Xing said very seriously:

"Twin tails are very good; do not change your hairstyle casually, understand?"

Perona, with red and swollen eyes, said while crying:

"I... I understand."

After Luo Xing left,

Perona jumped up with a cry.

But her legs were so sore she immediately collapsed back onto the bed.

Angry, Perona grabbed a small bear from beside the bed and squeezed it hard, treating it like someone in particular.

The stuffing inside the bear was pulled out.

While squeezing it, Perona pouted and said resentfully:

"Bullying me, bullying me! Let you, you villain, bully me! Waaah, waaah..."

In an exceptionally good mood, Luo Xing called Jack and Foxy to prepare to return to Wano Country.

Before departing, he told Moria:

"A major event is about to happen. You must organize the zombie army; at that time, we will also make a big move!"

With his strength greatly increased, Moria was now extremely grateful to Luo Xing and patted his chest, promising:

"Rest assured, my lord!"

Seeing Moria's high morale and full confidence, he had completely regained the warlord aura he possessed during his struggle with his father-in-law Kaido.

Luo Xing felt satisfied and left the Thriller Bark ship with peace of mind.

Foxy did not return to Wano Country but went back to Dressrosa again.

After all,

Dressrosa and Punk Hazard are the two most important war bases of the Beasts Pirates in the New World; they cannot be without strong defenders.

Punk Island has Scorching Disaster Jack and the Tobiroppo Momonosuke, plus two hundred Gifters and five Cybertronians, so there is no need to worry about defensive strength.

However, Dressrosa currently has only the Tobiroppo Reiju and Page One, plus two hundred Gifters.

Although the defense is also sufficient, adding the even stronger Foxy makes it safer.

Luo Xing absolutely will not allow any accidents to occur in Dressrosa.

Not to mention the artificial Devil Fruit factory located there, he must ensure the safety of his two women, Viola and Rebecca.

Sometimes, to satisfy himself, Luo Xing may not respect a woman's wishes.

But regarding a woman's safety and other unreasonable demands, Luo Xing attaches extreme importance and will generally agree.

For instance, he taught Spiky Swordsmanship to Tashigi, and last night he taught Perona Observation Haki, telling the latter how to make her negative ghosts hit enemies more accurately.

Enough of these trivialities.

Suffice it to say that on the return journey, Luo Xing saw a newspaper.

The Marines had raised his bounty to three billion.
