Chapter 60
How could it be that easy to take back?
The strength of the Beasts Pirates is nothing like it was before.
With the boost of the Mera Mera no Mi cells and Senzu Beans, they can almost be called an immortal army!
How many troops must the Navy commit to retake Dressrosa?
Moreover, as Fleet Admiral, Sengoku cannot keep his attention fixed on the Beasts Pirates forever.
He has already received news that a major incident seems to have occurred on the Whitebeard Pirates' side as well.
When Sengoku left Mary Geoise, he felt a headache unlike any he had ever known, even a sense of utter exhaustion.
……
……
"Breaking news! Breaking news!"
"The Beasts Pirates killed the Warlord Doflamingo and seized his territory, Dressrosa!"
"The Navy has raised the bounty on the mysterious Imperial Son-in-Law of the Beasts, Luo Xing, by another five hundred million, reaching a terrifying two billion!"
"A bounty of two billion Berries! Only the bounties of the Four Emperors are higher across the entire sea. Luo Xing is rightly called the Fifth Emperor of the Sea!"
The Great News Corgi Morgans distributed the newspapers across the world, causing a global uproar!
People stood with their mouths agape.
They felt fear at the Beasts Pirates' sudden expansion.
They felt utterly shocked by Luo Xing's two-billion bounty.
Some say the Beasts Pirates are about to launch a massive war that will sweep across the entire world!
Some say the Imperial Son-in-Law of the Beasts, Luo Xing, is not human, but a demon!
Others say that Luo Xing, this Fifth Emperor of the Sea, is even more terrifying than Kaido of the Beasts himself!
Rumors and gossip are everywhere.
And while the outside world was buzzing with discussion, Luo Xing himself arrived at the Top Floor of the Wang Gong in Dressrosa.
Before him stood two beauties, one tall and one small.
The tall one was like a rare orchid, rich and fragrant, yet her beautiful eyes were very complex, holding both gratitude and shame and anger.
The small one was much simpler, fresh and lovely like a flower bud, and the gaze she directed at Luo Xing held only full gratitude.
"My lord Luo Xing, thank you for saving Dressrosa."
Rebecca bowed deeply to Luo Xing.
A ninety-degree angle.
This angle was perfect for Luo Xing's position.
After admiring it for a while, he reached out, took Rebecca's arm, and helped her up, speaking in a gentle voice:
"As a good man, this is what I should do."
Rebecca was moved even more, so much so that she didn't even notice when Luo Xing did not let go of her hand.
Viola noticed, spat in her heart, and glared with her brown beautiful eyes, saying:
"You are not a good man!"
Luo Xing replied with a serious face: "If you don't believe me, feel free to use your Mero Mero no Mi later to examine my brain and heart."
"No need to wait until later; I'll try it right now."
Saying this, Viola formed her fingers into a circle and placed them before her eyes.
Her Mero Mero no Mi can directly see into a person's mind.
A few seconds later.
Viola's face turned completely red, and she stamped her foot, saying: "You... you are simply full of nothing but..."
Viola could not find the right adjective; in her shame and panic, she turned and tried to run.
Luo Xing grabbed Viola's jade hand with one hand, while holding Rebecca's small hand with the other, and said with a serious expression:
"A good man like me only thinks of beautiful things in his mind."

Luo Xing did some very beautiful things.
The next morning, he left the Wang Gong feeling refreshed and energetic.
Inside the room.
Viola and Rebecca, this aunt and niece, hugged each other tightly.
Rebecca's face was red; she buried her head in Viola's arms and said softly:
"Auntie, I'm afraid I won't have the strength to go out for a few days."
Viola's face was equally red, and she spat, saying:
"That bastard doesn't know how to cherish a delicate flower at all."
"Auntie, don't say that about brother... brother," Rebecca lifted her small pink-haired head and said weakly, "We are both brother's wo... women now."
Viola felt like she was dealing with iron that refused to be forged into steel.
"He told you to call him brother, and you actually do!"
Rebecca buried her head again and said nothing.
Speaking of which, Rebecca is truly a pitiful girl.
Her childhood, which should have been happy and joyful, instantly fell into hell because of Doflamingo.
First her mother died, then her father turned into a toy, and she even forgot her father's existence.
It is hard to imagine how such a young Rebecca, with no one to rely on, managed to grow into the flower-season young girl she is today.
Rebecca, though she pretended to be strong on the surface and even went to the arena to fight others,
actually desperately craved care deep within her heart and lacked a sense of security to an extreme degree.
And Luo Xing, who saved her, saved her country of Dressrosa, and saved her father and grandfather, brought her immense security.
Last night, this sense of security was amplified to the maximum.
Unknowingly, Rebecca had already become extremely dependent on Luo Xing in her heart.
"Sigh~"
Viola let out a sigh; she understood Rebecca's thoughts to some extent.
For how was she herself not lacking in a sense of security?
Having once been a princess of a nation, she had been treading on thin ice within the Tang Jihede family for so many years!
It was also Luo Xing who rescued her from this bitter sea.
But that bad guy, if he was going to be a good person, should have done it to the end; why did he still have to harm the two of them, aunt and niece?
Viola cursed Luo Xing as a bad guy several times in her heart before she could barely feel relieved.
After a while, she said to Rebecca:
"An aunt is always older than you and can still move about; I'll go get you something to eat. You must be hungry after expending so much energy."
Rebecca obediently made a soft "mm" sound like a little kitten.
Viola then struggled to get up, rubbed her sore and numb legs, and cursed another bad guy in her heart.
Luo Xing, whom Viola called a bad guy, went straight to the SMILE factory.
Foxy the Fox hurriedly came to welcome him.
"Has the production progress of the artificial Devil Fruits been affected?"
"No, everything is normal."
Foxy the Fox smiled and said:
"After I killed that guy named Pica, the little people in the factory were grateful to me, and Page One and the others brought a group of little people over."
"Now, the manufacturing process of the artificial Devil Fruits has not only not slowed down but has become faster than before."
Luo Xing nodded in satisfaction.
He then entered the SMILE factory together with him.
From afar, the unpleasant laughter of "Hehehehehe" could be heard.
Foxy the Fox explained: "That is the evil scientist Caesar Clown, who makes SMILE for Doflamingo. It is said that he once worked with Vegapunk."
How could Luo Xing Qi Society not know these things?
He approached Caesar Clown, who, upon seeing him, was so terrified that his gaseous body nearly scattered like a mouse seeing a cat.
