Chapter 166

"The Marines have set the execution date for Fire Fist Ace—ten days from now!"

Luo Xing's gaze flickered slightly.

In ten days, the war at Marineford that will shake the entire world is about to erupt.

Luo Xing had no interest in saving Fire Fist Ace.

What interested him was the hidden power of the Marines and the World Government.

I hope Whitebeard, after eating the Immortal Bean, unleashes even stronger power than in the original timeline, forcing the Marines to reveal their full strength.

Of course,

Luo Xing had already planned his own moves—he would use the opportunity of the Marineford War to launch several large-scale operations!

These operations will have an impact on the World Government deeper than the Marineford War itself!

As Luo Xing pondered, he suddenly remembered Straw Hat Luffy.

By this timeline, Straw Hat Luffy should be at Thriller Bark, fighting Moria.

After defeating Moria, he would head to the Sabaody Archipelago, then be sent to Amazon Lily by Bartholomew Kuma.

But Luo Xing had not received any call from Moria reporting an intrusion at Thriller Bark.

This indicates that, because of Luo Xing's presence, Straw Hat Luffy's path has diverged drastically from the original timeline.

That was only natural.

After all,

Straw Hat Luffy's most important partner, Zoro Already, had become Luo Xing's subordinate.

The navigator Nami had also been saved by Luo Xing.

And Nico Luo Bin, who had slept in Luo Xing's arms for an entire night, could never again follow the Straw Hat crew.

Luo Xing could not predict how Straw Hat Luffy's current path had changed.

He couldn't help but feel curious.

After all, that was the Nika Fruit destined to change the world, heh.

Luo Xing planned to travel to the East Blue.

Asking about Straw Hat Luffy was incidental; Luo Xing mainly missed that mischievous little orange thief-cat.

After parting with Queen and Galot, Luo Xing opened a Gate of Anywhere and stepped through.

The next moment, he appeared in Cocoyasi Village.

When creating the Gate of Anywhere, Luo Xing first input the coordinates of his various women's locations.

Cocoyasi Village was naturally included.

Luo Xing did not go straight to Nami's house—he went to the former base of the Arlong Pirates.

Now, it was Arlita's territory.

Lately, Arlita had been riding high.

Ever since eating the Monster Cells bestowed by the Five Emperors, Luo Xing himself, her power had surged, and she had become the strongest pirate in the East Blue.

Even Arlong, the Fish-Man with a bounty of 20 million Berries, had been crushed by her in no time.

Arlita seized all of Arlong's territories.

Following Luo Xing's orders, she colluded with Marine Colonel Rat, expanding her forces and recruiting men under the Marines' very noses.

Now, she clearly had several hundred underlings!

Every time Arlita went out, she was surrounded by a retinue, utterly majestic.

Buggy, who had once been somewhat acquainted with her, was stunned—his eyes bulged at her grandeur.

Arlita became even more self-satisfied.

One day,

she sat on a spacious tiger chair, devouring meat and gulping down liquor, thoroughly delighted..........

Beside her, dozens of underlings nervously attended.

Arlita said: "Pour me more wine!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Lady Arlita!"

The underlings hurried to pour wine.

But the next second,

the underlings were horrified to see Lady Arlita's face suddenly twist into an expression of utter terror and humility,

and she leapt from her tiger chair, falling prostrate on the ground with a thud.

The underlings stood frozen, as if in a dream.

They instinctively turned toward the direction Arlita was bowing.

There, a tall, majestic young man was walking toward them at a leisurely pace.

"You all leave."

The stranger gave orders to the dozens of underlings as if he owned the place.

The underlings stared blankly.

But seeing Lady Arlita kneeling obediently on the ground, they instantly realized this stranger was their boss's boss.

Without a word, they scurried out.

Arlita knelt on the ground, smiling obsequiously:

"Five Emperors, how unexpectedly kind of you to arrive! Why didn't you send word ahead? I would have prepared the Zhunbeiyan Society to welcome you!"

Luo Xing stood with his hands behind his back, glancing around, and said coolly:

"You've developed quite well lately."

Arlotta hurriedly said in a submissive tone, "It is all thanks to my lord's great fortune."

Luo Xing smiled, too lazy to waste more words, and said directly:

"Arlotta, have you heard news of someone named Luffy of the Straw Hat?"

Arlotta raised her head and said:

"Yes, my lord. I once knew a fellow called Buggy the Clown; that guy was defeated by Luffy of the Straw Hat not long ago and even tried to seek my help, but I ignored him."

Luo Xing raised an eyebrow slightly.

Buggy the Clown, another familiar name, a possessor of Lucky Color, on par with the 2.5 Conqueror's Haki of Red-Haired Shanks.

Arlotta continued:

"Luffy of the Straw Hat successively defeated famous pirates like Krieg and Kuro, then entered the Grand Line; it is said he has done many great deeds since, and his current bounty exceeds two hundred million!"

"My lord, here is the wanted poster newspaper for the Straw Hat crew."

Luo Xing took the newspaper.

Luffy of the Straw Hat, the great god Usopp, Black Leg Sanji, the backup rations Chopper, Franky whom he had met once in Water Seven, and three others.

They were obviously partners Luffy of the Straw Hat found to replace Zoro, Nami, and Luo Bin.

They had indeed made quite a name for themselves; no wonder he is the legendary user of the Nika Fruit, the light of the Sun God indeed cannot be obscured no matter what.

A mocking curve formed at the corner of Luo Xing's mouth.

He then tossed the newspaper to Arlotta and instructed her to continue making efforts.

After that, he went to the residence of Nami and Nojiko.

The previous chapter has also been modified to a certain extent; those who are not satisfied can take another look.

147. Hugging Nami to pick oranges, Nojiko's face red and embarrassed (please subscribe)

The residence of Nami and her sister Nojiko is the home of their adoptive mother, Bell-mere.

After Bell-mere was killed by the fish-man Arlong, this place became Nami's final harbor.

Therefore, even though they are wealthy now, and even though the house is already dilapidated, the Nami sisters do not plan to renovate the house.

This dilapidated house records too many childhood memories.

When still some distance away from Nami's residence, Luo Xing heard the noise coming from inside the house, as well as the giggling laughter of Nami and Nojiko.

She originally joined the Arlong Pirates to save the village and was misunderstood by the villagers.

Now that Arlong has been destroyed, such misunderstandings have naturally been resolved long ago.

Upon learning that Luo Xing and Yamato, who saved them, were invited by Nami, the villagers were naturally extremely grateful to Nami and also felt guilty for the past misunderstandings.

Therefore,

the villagers, to compensate Nami, gave Nami quite a lot of treasures and things.
