Chapter 288

But at this moment,

Xiao Zi was still completely drained, too lazy to lift even a single little finger.

Luo Xing comforted her in a gentle voice:

"Rest well here; I will leave first."

He took out the Any Door,

just about to depart.

Xiao Zi suddenly, with all her strength, propped up her upper body,

her beautiful eyes filled with infinite complexity as she looked at Luo Xing, biting her lip and saying:

"No matter the reason, Ma Erke and the others were originally supposed to be my father's companions, yet now they are defecting to you..."

Kozuki Oden stayed on Bai Huzi's ship for several years.

He met Amatsuki Toki.

560, she gave birth to Xiao Zi and Momonosuke.

The relationship between Kozuki Oden and Ma Erke and the others was extremely deep.

But now,

Ma Erke and the other White Team captains, disregarding the hatred between her father Oden and the Beasts Gang, were coming to defect to this man before her.

It meant they must have encountered some great calamity, with no other choice.

"I received much care from them when I was young; I hope you can help them."

Xiao Zi actually spoke such words.

Luo Xing was somewhat surprised.

After a moment,

he smiled and said:

"Of course; if they can come, I would welcome it, so how could I turn them away?"

It was not as exaggerated as "welcoming it,"

after all, the Beasts Gang's current strength would not be greatly affected whether Ma Erke and the others joined or not.

Of course.

If Ma Erke and the others could join, that would be best.

"There is one more thing..."

Xiao Zi's purpose in stopping Luo Xing was certainly not merely to have Luo Xing help Ma Erke and the others.

But for the next words, she did not know how to say them.

She was struggling.

Her heart was in utter turmoil.

Logically speaking.

As Oden's daughter, the man before her was undoubtedly her great enemy.

But,

(bjdh) after being bullied by the man so many times,

Xiao Zi's heart had unconsciously developed many feelings.

These feelings, Xiao Zi could not control at all.

She was in great pain, often falling into struggle.

This was her enemy; how could she truly fall in love with him!

Xiao Zi opened her red lips.

Suddenly her pretty face turned pale, and she swallowed her words again.

"No, I cannot say it; this is my mother's final wish and my father's only hope; I cannot betray them!"

"I cannot... cannot... cannot betray them..."

Xiao Zi shook her head repeatedly, persuading herself,

tears suddenly streaming down.

From Xiao Zi's struggle and words, Luo Xing guessed what Xiao Zi wanted to say.

Xiao Zi probably wanted to tell him about the prophecy his mother Amatsuki Toki made on her deathbed.

In twenty years, nine shadows will fall from the sky, and someone will save Wano Country and defeat the Beasts Gang.

Counting the time, at most one year remains until the twenty-year deadline.

Because of her feelings for Luo Xing, Xiao Zi wanted to warn Luo Xing.

After all, Luo Xing was tied to the Beasts Gang; if the Beasts Gang were defeated as in the prophecy, Luo Xing's fate would certainly also be extremely miserable.

Xiao Zi could not bear to see that scene.

However.

Xiao Zi could not also betray her mother's and father's expectations.

So,

she struggled in pain, tears streaming down her face.

Luo Xing sighed slightly in his heart, but his face showed no expression; he said lightly:

"You do not need to tell me; actually, I already knew that prophecy long ago."

"What, you..."

Xiao Zi was stunned at once, staring blankly at Luo Xing.

Luo Xing said calmly:

"You must have known long ago, right? Denjiro, Wadatsumi, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi, all of your father's former retainers, were killed by my hand."

"As for the prophecy of twenty years from now, how could I possibly know nothing about it?"

Little Violet's slender body trembled violently.

Her beautiful eyes revealed fear.

Now.

She no longer worried about Luo Xing's safety, but rather about Momonosuke and the others!

With this man's terrifying methods.

Since he knew of that prophecy long ago, he must have prepared long ago!

Can the prophecy still come true?

What will happen to Momonosuke and the others?

"You are my woman, but some people must die."

Leaving these words, Luo Xing passed through the Anywhere Door and vanished.

Little Violet sat motionless in place.

Some people must die.

Who?

Momonosuke?

That is her own brother!

Despair suddenly surged in Little Violet's heart.

That feeling of both loving and hating Luo Xing instantly reached its peak!

Luo Xing liked Little Violet very much; he also wanted Little Violet to live happily.

But how could worldly affairs be so satisfactory?

No matter how much Luo Xing liked Little Violet,

Momonosuke and the retainers of Oden such as the Jinwei Sect must die,

this is beyond doubt.

Luo Xing had long ago stationed personnel in the seas surrounding Dressrosa.

Once the figures of Momonosuke and the others were spotted, they would immediately report to him.

The Luoxingbu Society would not allow Momonosuke and the others even a sliver of room to resist.
