Chapter 84

He looked up at Luo Xing's towering figure and suddenly felt that he, a god, was as laughably insignificant as an ant before this man whose name he did not yet know.

After giving instructions to Jin, Luo Xing wrapped his arm around Yamato's slender waist and left the Sky Island.

He chose a secluded spot, shrouded in mist and clouds, where no one could possibly see him.

Not long after.

The sea of clouds here suddenly churned violently, only calming hours later.

Luo Xing pushed aside the mist with his hand, tightly embracing his utterly exhausted wife Yamato, and stepped on Moon Step toward the sea below.

After resting for a long time, Yamato finally gained the strength to speak.

She punched Luo Xing's chest with a delicate fist, angry:

"You're getting worse and worse."

Luo Xing chuckled in her ear: "Only to my wife."

"Really?" Yamato's beautiful eyes glimmered with suspicion. "Then what about that Fur Tribe maid, Galot? I've seen her in your lab several times."

Luo Xing's heart skipped a beat, but his face showed no sign of disturbance; he dismissed it casually:

"She's just a maid—she has to help me with chores."

Though still somewhat doubtful, Yamato chose to believe Luo Xing.

After all, Luo Xing had never lied to her, and he doted on her terribly.

When she wanted to help the people of Wano Country, he made Wano Country completely renewed.

When she pouted and asked to come to the Sky Island or go to Loguetown, he agreed to both.

What more could Yamato possibly want?

Seeing Yamato happily snuggling back into his arms, Luo Xing exhaled in relief, then a wry, helpless smile appeared on his lips.

He'd have to be even more careful from now on.

Zi, Viola, and Rebecca—these three women must never be known to Yamato.

Because Yamato had never appeared in the Outside World before, Luo Xing had worn the demon Oni mask throughout the Dressrosa incident.

Thus, outside the Beasts Pirates, no one on this sea knew the true faces of Luo Xing and Yamato.

Luo Xing's wanted poster still showed only a yellow Psyduck—utterly ridiculous.

But this had its advantages.

It meant Luo Xing didn't have to worry about countless random thugs coming after him for the five-hundred-million-berry bounty.

Even with his current strength, plus his wife Yamato, he wasn't afraid even if he encountered a Four Emperor or Fleet Admiral-level opponent.

But constant interruptions would ruin the fun of traveling.

Luo Xing held Yamato's slender waist and descended from the Sky Island all the way to Loguetown.

They made no effort to conceal themselves.

Though no one recognized them, their descent from the sky still caused a great stir among the people of Loguetown.

Someone reported this news to the Marine Captain here, Smoker, the Smoke-Smoke Fruit user.

"Oh? Someone walking on air from the sky? Probably Moon Step, one of the Marine Six Powers."

Smoker, chewing two cigars, his expression subtly changed.

The Marine Six Powers were basic martial arts, but few could master them well.

Anyone who truly excelled in them was at least a Captain or Commander, possibly even part of the World Government's covert agency CP9.

"Which Marine colleague is this? Or some pirate with a bounty over a hundred million?"

Smoker grew interested—he hoped it was the latter.

Since arriving in Loguetown as commander, the pirates he'd encountered were far too weak to even be a match for him.

Smoker did not know:

Loguetown lies near the East Blue; every time the Marine Hero Garp returned home, he passed through here—who among the pirates would dare wander around here?

"Captain Smoker, are you going to check it out?"

A slender, bespectacled female Marine officer beside him said.

"Of course. If it's a pirate, that'd be perfect."

Smoker stood up and walked out.

The frail female officer, Daz Bones, called out: "Shouldn't we summon marines, Captain?"

"No need." Smoker waved without looking back. "I'm enough."

Daz Bones hurried after him.

The two arrived at the execution platform of the Pirate King Gol D. Luo Ge.

Sure enough, they saw a man and a woman standing there.

The man was handsome, noble, and imposing.

The woman was graceful, with peerless beauty.

Smoker smiled.

He didn't recognize the pair—clearly, they weren't Marines.

And coming here to gaze at the Pirate King's execution platform meant they were pirates without doubt.

"Hey, state your names. I don't arrest nobodies."

Smoker clenched his fist, confident.

Luo Xing and Yamato turned to look.

Yamato stared at Smoker, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a flicker of eager excitement; she whispered to Luo Xing:

"The Navy is here. Shouldn't we run away quickly?"

Yamato, making her first trip far from home, was also seeing the Navy for the first time.

In her understanding, pirates should run away immediately upon encountering the Navy, and Yamato couldn't wait to play this game.

Luo Xing nodded indifferently.

His gaze swept over Smoker once, but more of it fell on Tashigi standing beside Smoker.

Don't be fooled by Tashigi's current thin and weak appearance; in a few years, she will fully blossom, with great room for growth.

Luo Xing had raised this canary, Little Purple, but had never raised a Navy lark.

He very much wanted to witness Tashigi's growth process with his own eyes, preferably helping her grow up with his own hands.

Moreover, the "Fengxiong Zhaozhao" that Luo Xing invented when his system was at lv1 had never found a use; what a pity for such a great invention.

However, since his wife Yamato was right beside him, even if Luo Xing had such thoughts, he could not put them into practice.

Smoker's expression became somewhat ugly.

Yamato's voice was faint, but he still heard it.

What did she mean by "shouldn't we run away"?

Did she think this was a game of Navy catching pirates, like playing house?

That was too disrespectful to him, the White Hunter Smoker!

"You two..." Thick white smoke billowed around Smoker's body. "Don't be so arrogant!"

Luo Xing seemed not to have heard.

Since he couldn't catch Tashigi, and he also didn't want to expose his true identity in front of the Navy, he was too lazy to stay here any longer.

"Let's go."

Luo Xing took his wife Yamato's jade hand and strolled slowly toward the seashore.

Smoker could hardly believe his eyes.

The people opposite... the people opposite were treating him, a Navy Captain, with far too little respect!

"Damn it!"

Smoker was thoroughly enraged, and his entire body showed signs of turning into white smoke.

Vice-Admiral Tashigi pushed up her glasses and said with full confidence:

"Captain Smoker is angry; those two pirates are going to be in trouble!"

Tashigi greatly admired Smoker, believing that no pirate could ever be a match for Captain Smoker.

Wuuu~~

The next moment.

Smoker's lower body turned into smoke, and he rushed quickly at Luo Xing and Yamato, holding a jitte topped with Sea Prism Stone in his right hand.
