Chapter 35

She would never be able to escape this man's clutches from now on.

Luo Xing felt the smoothness of the beauty's jade hand and leaned closer to her.

Xiao Zi instantly became as panicked as a helpless little beast.

"No, don't, stay away from me..."

Luo Xing's voice was gentle: "Canaries are meant to be admired."

"You demon..." Xiao Zi's beautiful eyes filled with tears, deep fear evident within them.

Luo Xing was stunned, then immediately understood the source of Xiao Zi's fear.

It must be that his previous roughness had left her with psychological trauma.

This was probably also the reason Xiao Zi attempted to assassinate him this time.

Luo Xing's tone grew even gentler as he smiled and said:

"Rest assured, I will be very gentle."

Luo Xing was not gentle at all.

When half a day later he left Xiao Zi's room, a strange look remained in his eyes.

Could she possibly be an M?

Luo Xing thought strangely, suddenly paused mid-step, and said to Xiao Zi, who was weeping behind him with her face covered:

"Next time I come, if you try to assassinate me again, I will stay in your room for an extra hour."

One could clearly see Xiao Zi's delicate body shudder violently, revealing her tear-streaked, beautiful face:

"Demon, bastard, you are a huge bastard!"

Luo Xing smiled faintly and returned to Onigashima, completely satisfied.

On Onigashima.

Compared to the joyful atmosphere of lanterns and decorations from the previous two days, today presented a scene of panic and rage.

Luo Xing casually grabbed a minion and asked, "Did anything happen while I was away?"

The minion first knelt in fear, then said:

"It's Jack, Lord Jack has returned!"

Disaster Jack had gone out to the outside world to get money for Luo Xing; could something have gone wrong?

"What exactly happened?"

"Lord Jack was dragged back by two sharks; he suffered heavy losses, his lung tubes were completely burned away!"

"Who did this?"

Luo Xing's voice instantly turned cold.

Whoever could inflict such severe injuries on Disaster Jack was no ordinary person.

Was it one of the other Four Emperors, or an Admiral of the Marines?

Or perhaps, one of those hidden legendary powerhouses?

The little minion's terrified voice said: "It was done by Admiral Akainu of the Marines; the Marines actually sent him to guard the Heavenly Tribute!"

Sakazuki Akainu!

No wonder Jack's lung tubes were directly burned away; it was that ruthless man, Akainu.

Although the three Admirals are evenly matched in strength, if one must distinguish who is superior, Akainu is undoubtedly the strongest.

The Magma Fruit is even called the Devil Fruit with the strongest offensive power.

Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, on the other hand, possesses the greatest destructive power.

Luo Xing released the little minion and headed straight for his father-in-law Kaido's palace.

Inside the palace.

Scorching Heat, Plague Doctor Queen, Who's-Who, Page One, and the other Tobiroppo were all present.

Disaster Jack lay on the ground, his entire body wrapped in bandages, looking utterly exhausted.

Queen was treating Jack; seeing Luo Xing arrive, he wiped the sweat from his large forehead and said:

"This unlucky kid Jack actually ran into Akainu; his entire lung tubes are nothing but ash. Unless mechanical lung tubes are installed, his strength will definitely be greatly affected from now on."

Besides creating bio-viruses, Queen is also skilled in mechanical technology.

His left arm is a mechanical arm; even his neck and tail in the Brachiosaurus state can detach.

"Damn Marines! Jack is my main ace!"

Kaido roared in anger, causing cracks to appear across the entire ground.

Even if Jack gets mechanical lungs, they certainly won't work as well as the original ones; his strength will inevitably still be affected.

How could Kaido, who values his subordinates, not be angry?

Luo Xing stepped forward and said:

"Father-in-law, please do not be angry; I have a way to restore Jack's lung tubes."

"Really?"

Kaido was overjoyed at first, then his expression turned hesitant.

"Jack's lungs were completely melted by magma; even Queen has no solution, and you, son-in-law, are not a doctor."

Queen interjected: "Imperial Son-in-Law, Jack's lungs cannot be restored; they can only be replaced with mechanical lungs."

Jinbe, the Tobiroppo, and others all nodded in deep agreement.

Even though the Imperial Son-in-Law is immensely powerful and invented the Mysterious Cell, something comparable to a Devil Fruit, could he possibly create something out of nothing?

"That is not necessarily true."

A hint of mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Luo Xing's lips as he said leisurely:

"Creating something from nothing is not difficult at all; one only needs Senzu Beans."

38. Senzu Beans Make Everything Possible (Please Vote with Flowers)

Senzu Beans?

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Kaido and the others were filled with question marks.

"What is that?"

"A supreme healing treasure."

As Luo Xing spoke, he walked toward the laboratory.

"When I have finished making it, you will know its effects."

He left behind a crowd of puzzled and expectant gazes.

Jack, lying on the ground, asked weakly:

"Big Brother Queen, can Senzu Beans really restore my lungs?"

An ordinary person whose lungs were burned away by magma would have been dead long ago.

But Jack was a Zoan-type Ancient Species Mammoth Fruit user, possessing an extremely tenacious life force.

Queen shrugged: "I don't know, but since the Imperial Son-in-Law said so, it must be possible."

An immense sense of expectation inevitably appeared in Jack's eyes.

He no longer cared about any shame now; he only hoped his strength in the future would not be affected.

After a full day, Luo Xing finally returned to the palace.

In his hand, he held a bag containing three round little pills.

The more precious the item, the longer the time required to create it, and the higher the production cost.

For instance, the cost of a single Senzu Bean exceeds ten million Berries.

"So this is a Senzu Bean? It's too small; can it really create Jack's lungs out of nothing?"

Even though they knew Luo Xing could not be lying, King, the Tobiroppo, and others still wore expressions of doubt.

Luo Xing offered no explanation; he went straight to Jack and said, "Open your mouth."

Jack obediently opened his mouth.

Luo Xing tossed a Senzu Bean into his mouth.

Including Kaido, everyone stared tightly at Jack without blinking, afraid to miss a single second.

A miraculous scene appeared.

They saw the terrifying wound on Jack's abdomen heal rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His lungs, which had originally been empty inside, grew back.
