Chapter 251

There were simply too many powerhouses in the Beasts Pirates; with his Supernova strength, he was completely unremarkable among them.

Kid's death was just a trivial matter to Luo Xing now.

Luo Xing had Page One return to Dressrosa and sent the newly joined Apoo and Hawkins to Wano Country to await his father-in-law's orders.

He himself took out the Anywhere Door and went to where Vergo was.

Previously,

in order to help Vergo ascend to the position of Navy Admiral, Luo Xing had informed him of the location of the Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire Model.

Right now.

Vergo had already obtained this powerful Mythical Zoan fruit, and his strength had received a significant boost.

Luo Xing intended to have Vergo drink the Super God Water as well, so that Vergo's promotion to Navy Admiral would be a certainty.

222. The abilities of the Vampire Model, Vergo possesses Admiral-level strength!

Vergo led the G-5 fleet to Sleepy Town and successfully obtained the Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire Model.

This was an extremely powerful fruit that could restore one's youth.

However, Vergo himself was in his prime and did not need to use this ability.

The greatest use of this fruit for him was to constantly weaken enemies by absorbing their life force, while keeping himself in peak condition at all times.

This ability was somewhat similar to Green Bull's ability to absorb nutrients from others' bodies.

It was unclear who would absorb faster if Vergo and Green Bull were to fight.

Vergo had the fleet anchor at an uninhabited small island.

He had the G-5 soldiers wait for him on the coast.

Vergo went onto the island alone.

On the deck of the warship, Smoker the White Hunter watched Vergo's back with a suspicious and hostile gaze.

Back when they were suppressing the Neo Marines led by former Admiral Black Arm Zephyr,

it was Vergo who went alone to deal with Teacher Zephyr.

Afterward, Tashigi was also lured to that battlefield by Zephyr's student, Ain.

Later, the volcano erupted, and the entire island was destroyed.

Vergo returned unscathed, but claimed that Tashigi had been engulfed by the erupting volcano.

At that time, Smoker was so furious his eyes turned red and he wanted to settle the score with Vergo, but was instead kicked away by him.

He was far from being Vergo's match.

Smoker was incensed, hating his own weakness.

He couldn't protect Tashigi, and he couldn't even teach the detestable Vergo a lesson!

In order to increase his strength as quickly as possible, he disregarded the danger and participated in the Summit War.

But he hadn't been able to play much of a role.

He could only deal with the small-fry pirates under Whitebeard or lower-ranked pirate captains.

Smoker couldn't defeat any of the dozen or so commanders on Whitebeard's main ship.

After the Summit War ended,

he returned to the G-5 branch.

On one hand,

he always felt that Vergo's movements were mysterious and that he seemed to be hiding something; he wanted to monitor him.

On the eve of the Summit War, Smoker had suggested that Aokiji carefully investigate Vergo's past.

But because Vergo had the merit of suppressing Zephyr, he was valued by the Navy's top brass, and Sengoku even praised him as having the bearing of an Admiral.

Now.

Aokiji had already left the Navy and his whereabouts were unknown, so this matter naturally came to nothing.

On the other hand.

Smoker was also holding his breath, training for over a dozen hours every day.

He was thinking that one day he would avenge Tashigi and give Vergo a sound beating.

Unfortunately,

this wish of Smoker's would likely never be realized.

Unless Smoker could one day possess Navy Admiral-level strength.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to touch Vergo's shadow.

Vergo, walking toward the center of the island, didn't need to look back to feel Smoker's hostile gaze behind him.

He gave a cold smile, feeling disdain in his heart.

If it weren't for Lord Luo Xing's orders, he would have secretly finished off the overconfident Smoker long ago.

He arrived at the center of the island.

Here, the G-5 soldiers on the coast could not possibly see him.

A tall, heroic man stood here.

The moment Vergo saw the man's figure, his dignity as the G-5 base commander vanished without a trace.

He knelt on one knee and bowed with an extremely respectful voice:

"Greetings, Young Master!"

"Get up."

Luo Xing sensed Vergo's increasingly deep and heavy aura and nodded with satisfaction:

"Didn't I go to fetch reinforcements so that we could have a better chance of winning when we attack the Red-Haired Pirates in the future!"

Vergo stood up, but his respectful posture didn't diminish in the slightest, and he said:

"It is all thanks to the Monster Cells and the Gravity Training Room bestowed by Young Master."

In order for Vergo to possess Admiral-level strength as soon as possible, Luo Xing had specially built a Gravity Training Room for him.

It was the only Gravity Training Room on the seas outside of Wano Country.

This showed how much he valued Vergo.

How could Vergo not be grateful?

Luo Xing took out the Super God Water and tossed it to Vergo:

"Drink this bottle of medicine, and you will completely possess the top-tier strength of these seas."

Vergo caught it excitedly.

Was this medicine another heaven-defying invention of Lord Luo Xing comparable to the Monster Cells?

Awe and gratitude surged up in his heart together.

Vergo bowed deeply to Luo Xing once more.

Then he drank the Super God Water.

After a period of intense pain, his aura surged by a large margin.

He was now no different from an Admiral-level powerhouse.

Feeling the unprecedented, surging power within his body, Vergo couldn't help but let out a long roar toward the sky.

Roar!

The roar soared into the sky, startling the birds and beasts on the island into fleeing in terror.

Vergo said confidently:

"Young Master, with my current strength, I can definitely ascend to Navy Admiral! I won't lose to those two newcomers, Fujitora and Green Bull!"

Luo Xing was also very confident in Vergo's current strength.

He said:

"The new Navy under Akainu's leadership will soon have all its systems finalized."

"You must go to Marineford as soon as possible and seize the position of Admiral."

"But before that, while you still have the status of G-5 base commander, go to the City of Gold and take back all the money in the hands of the Golden Emperor, Tesoro, for me."

The Golden Emperor, Tesoro, was a user of the Gold-Gold Fruit and could freely manipulate gold.

It was said that he controlled twenty percent of the world's Berries and had numerous industries all over the world.

Luo Xing wanted to compete with the World Government for hegemony over the seas, and a massive war that would affect the entire world was starting to push forward from the North Blue.

Although the process of conquering the world would itself yield huge profits.

But who would complain about having too much money?
