Chapter 233

The duel between Momousagi and Katarina Domino, unlike the rough and fierce clashes of men, appeared remarkably calm.

Pink mist flowed around the two women.

Faint sword light flickered.

Nine fox tails waved wildly like brooms.

Though such a duel did not look as earth-shattering, the peril it contained was no less than on any other battlefield.

On Sabaody Archipelago.

Luo Xing's gaze swept lightly over the entire battlefield.

Whether it was Kuzan, Huang Yuan, or even Fleet Admiral Sengoku at the pinnacle of the Marines personally intervening, he showed no unusual expression.

Only when he saw Momousagi move did his eyebrows lift slightly.

Although Luo Xing loved beauties and enjoyed collecting various types of flowers of different kinds,

he was never lenient toward the dogs loyal to the World Government.

Such as the petite and exquisite Queen of the Red Light District, Stussy, or Kalifa of CP9 with her black stockings and long legs.

When Luo Xing killed them, he did not even blink.

But Momousagi Gion was somewhat different from those vulgar women; that was Luo Xing's first impression upon seeing this woman.

Even across a distance of several hundred meters, Luo Xing seemed able to smell the pink fragrance on her.

Luo Xing could not help but feel the desire to collect this pink peach blossom.

Speaking of which, he had already collected two flowers from the Marines before.

One was Zephyr's disciple Ain, and the other was the cute little sister Tashigi.

Ain was fine; due to Zephyr's dying words, she wished to replace Zephyr's teacher and see the future world.

She was quite obedient to Luo Xing.

When Luo Xing held her that night, she did not resist much.

But little sister Tashigi was a bit stubborn.

Even though Luo Xing had personally taught her swordsmanship for several hours, Tashigi still resisted fiercely.

The day Luo Xing left Punk Hazard, little sister Tashigi cried like a willow weeping in the rain, her silver teeth nearly ground to dust.

Understanding Luo Xing decided he could not let Tashigi remain in that state of mind; he still hoped his women could be happier.

Coincidentally, he saw Momousagi.

Momousagi should know Tashigi; having the two women keep each other company was a good idea.

No one knew the thoughts turning in Luo Xing's mind at that moment; only Perona, floating in the air and full of mischief, saw a little of it.

Perona bit her red, lovely little lips and thought in her heart:

"This bad man must be up to something bad again!"

"Wuwuwuwu, even such a cute girl like me has been ruined by him!"

Recalling her own experience, Perona's eyes turned red, and she cried pitifully.

When she first met Luo Xing, he said he was merely a collector acting on whim.

Perona did not know what that meant at the time.

But just a few hours ago, she understood completely.

This bad man suddenly appeared in her room through that strange arbitrary door.

He grabbed her twin tails and bullied her; wuwuwu, he was simply too bad!

Perona cried terribly at the time, yet the man remained ruthless.

He made it so that Perona's body could not move even now, and she could only float in the air as a spirit.

Hearing Perona's sobbing, Luo Xing glanced over and said gently:

"What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Perona turned her head away, pouting angrily.

Who else could it be? It's you, you big bad man!

Luo Xing roughly guessed the reason but pretended not to know, continuing gently:

"Rest assured, I will protect you from now on; no one except me can bully you!"

Perona's big eyes suddenly widened, her mouth puffed out like a small bean bun, and she glared fiercely at Luo Xing.

You, you, you... big bad man, what do you mean except you? Do you still want to bully me?!

Just as Perona was about to shout, Luo Xing already spoke solemnly to Moria:

"Moria, you go command the Thriller Bark, and charge toward the Marine fleet."

Moria was the person Perona respected most, so Perona had to swallow the words rising in her throat.

Her mouth remained puffed out, her big eyes filled with both anger and grievance.

Thriller Bark should be the largest ship in the world, big enough to be an entire island, capable of carrying tens of thousands without issue.

Luo Xing, leading his criminal legion, merged with the zombie legion on the ship and pressed down toward the Marine fleet.

This meant that the struggle for Sabaody Archipelago had officially entered the White-Hot Stage.

Thriller Bark was pitch black throughout, like a ghost ship from hell, carrying a thick aura of darkness.

The fifty thousand troops led by Koby, seeing such a terrifying giant ship, could not help but feel fear.

Even Koby, a veteran of countless battles and still vigorous in his old age, took a deep breath.

The Fifth Emperor Luo Xing had personally moved; success or failure depended on this one move!

He dared not be negligent and immediately ordered dozens of warships to form a line and begin firing cannons simultaneously.

Shiu shiu shiu!

Hundreds, even thousands of cannonballs erupted in an instant, firing in unison toward the terrifying Thousand Sunny.

Luo Xing stood with his hands behind his back, motionless.

Behind him, Enel let out a wild laugh:

"Three Billion Volt: Thunder Net!"

A massive net woven from thunder engulfed all the cannonballs, exploding them into nothing.

Enel then transformed into a bolt of lightning, charging toward the Navy, cackling:

"You ignorant ants, daring to oppose my young lord! Accept the punishment of the gods!"

Enel immediately unleashed a thunderstorm, with endless thunderbolts raining down from the sky.

Crack!

A thick lightning bolt struck a warship; the vessel instantly caught fire, and the Navy soldiers aboard were electrocuted into charcoal.

Huang Yuan, who was engaged in a Swordsmanship Contest with Shiryu, glanced aside:

"The Goro Goro no Mi is indeed terrifying; even my Pika Pika no Mi cannot suppress it!"

Huang Yuan had fought Enel before.

Thunder and light, neither could claim victory.

Sengoku flew into a rage.

If they continued to be bombarded by this thunderstorm, countless warships would be destroyed.

This former Fleet Admiral, now Supreme Commander of the World Government's land, sea, and air forces, decided to intervene personally.

Carrying violent fury and overwhelming dominance, he charged at Enel like a cannonball, roaring:

"Get down here, you thundering bastard!"

As the terrifying Thousand Sunny and the Navy fleet drew closer,

fifty thousand Marines and Luo Xing's criminal legion and zombie legion finally engaged in close combat.

The cries of battle were deafening.

The scent of blood filled the sky, and the surrounding seas were dyed red.

And most of this blood came from the Navy.

Although the Navy's numbers were five times those of Luo Xing's side, the criminals and zombies under Luo Xing were fearless, each capable of fighting ten men.

Fierce criminals, grotesque zombies, and ordinary Marines were torn apart by them as easily as tofu.

If this continued, the defeat of the Marines was only a matter of time.

Admiral Aokiji, preparing to vie for the position of Fleet Admiral, could not allow this situation to continue.

He leaped into the air, breaking free from Sanjuan Wolf's entanglement, and landed on the terrifying Thousand Sunny.

Facing the criminal legion and the zombie legion, he unleashed a large-scale freezing technique.
