Chapter 98

But Luo Xing was unwilling to show weakness, saying:

"Your current identity is the base commander of the Navy's G5 Branch. You deployed so many warships and troops just to capture me, yet you hand me over to the Beasts Pirates. Aren't you afraid the Navy will suspect you?"

Vergo had already considered this point and replied without hesitation:

"I will announce your Ope Ope no Mi ability to the Navy. As for how miraculous this Devil Fruit worth five billion is, I'm sure the Navy knows better than I do."

"You using your Ope Ope no Mi ability to escape secretly is not an impossible thing."

Law's expression grew increasingly grim.

In front of the old and experienced Vergo, he was completely no match.

"Yo, you're here!"

A young, burly man with dragon horns on his head and several meters tall walked toward them.

Upon seeing this person, Vergo no longer maintained his superiority over Law; instead, he adopted a respectful posture and said:

"My lord Page One."

The visitor was indeed Page One of the Beasts Pirates' Tobiroppo.

Although Vergo was older than Page One, Page One, who had consumed the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, possessed strength far beyond Vergo's.

Therefore, Vergo dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Even last time he came here, when the other man called him a liar and threatened to kill him, Vergo did not dare to get angry.

"Hurry up and go; the Young Master has been waiting for you for a while."

Page One spoke directly without wasting words.

The three boarded an elevator, which was pulled by iron chains, constantly ascending.

With every inch it rose, Vergo's tension increased by a fraction.

Meanwhile, Trafalgar Law's heart sank a fraction deeper; his hope of escaping grew increasingly slim.

The elevator stopped only when it reached the very top floor of the Wang Gong in Dressrosa.

Page One led Vergo and Trafalgar Law into a magnificent grand hall.

At the head of the hall, seated upon a high Wang Zuo, was a tall young man with black hair and black eyes, his appearance refined and handsome.

Vergo glanced at that young man once and suddenly felt a chill of fear, far beyond anything his former master Doflamingo could compare to.

Vergo immediately knew this person was undoubtedly the legendary Beasts Imperial Son-in-Law, the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing!

Without a word, he knelt down, pulling Trafalgar Law down with him, and bowed respectfully, saying:

"We pay our respects to the Fifth Emperor, my lord!"

Luo Xing stepped down from the Wang Zuo, one step at a time, until he stood before Vergo, and said indifferently:

"Rise."

His voice was calm, yet it seemed to contain a terrible majesty.

When Vergo stood up, his back was drenched in cold sweat, though he knew not when it had happened.

Trafalgar Law was the same.

Although he did not yet possess Observation Haki, by intuition alone, he knew the man before him was a terrifying existence beyond his imagination; no wonder he could defeat Doflamingo in a single strike!

Luo Xing's gaze swept over the faces of Vergo and Trafalgar Law one by one.

After receiving Page One's call, Luo Xing had rushed from Wano Country to Dressrosa without delay.

There were two very important reasons worthy of his personal intervention.

One reason was that Vergo himself possessed considerable strength, courage, and strategy, making him worthy of Luo Xing's personal attention.

Additionally, Vergo's identity as a spy within the Navy was also crucial.

To date, not a single member of the Beasts Pirates had infiltrated the Navy's ranks; Vergo's joining made up for this deficiency.

· ········· Begging for flowers · ···

The other reason was Trafalgar Law.

More accurately, it was Trafalgar Law's Ope Ope no Mi.

Legend says this fruit can perform the Eternal Life Surgery on people.

When Luo Xing was on the Sky Island, he had once speculated whether he could use Senzu Beans to make Law undergo the Eternal Life Surgery many times; at that time, he had already considered seeking out Trafalgar Law.

He never expected Vergo to bring him here; truly, he obtained him without any effort.

Oh, right, there is another reason that cannot be spoken to outsiders: Luo Xing missed Viola and Rebecca, this aunt and niece pair of twin flowers...

Although Luo Xing's tone was calm, his attitude remained gentle.

Vergo breathed a huge sigh of relief, while simultaneously feeling overjoyed.

The Fifth Emperor's attitude clearly indicated acceptance; he had successfully joined the Beasts Pirates and become a member of the strongest Emperor's crew!

Luo Xing ordered Page One to take Trafalgar Law away and send him to Wano Country later.

And when the Seastone chains, a specialty of Wano Country, were shackled onto Trafalgar Law, the man's eyes already revealed a look of despair.

Bound by Seastone, he now truly had no chance of escape at all.

Luo Xing noticed Trafalgar Law's despair, thought for a moment, and said to Vergo:

"Where are the other members of the Heart Pirates?"

Vergo replied respectfully: "Except for those killed during the capture, I have brought the rest of them as well."

Vergo, who was keenly observant, had already referred to himself as a subordinate.

This ability to read the room was indeed worthy of someone who could serve as a spy in the Navy and rise to the high position of a branch base commander.

Luo Xing showed a look of satisfaction and ordered:

"Keep them here as well; I will send them to Wano Country together with Trafalgar Law later."

Trafalgar Law's body trembled; the gaze he directed at Luo Xing was filled with confusion and incomprehension.

Then he was pulled down by Peggy Wan.

Luo Xing did this naturally because he did not want Trafalgar Law to be too hostile toward him.

After all, since Luo Xing hoped the other party would undergo the Eternal Life Surgery, it would surely have to be done with the other party's willing consent.

Of course,

if Trafalgar Law did not appreciate Luo Xing's kindness, then Luo Xing would have no choice but to kill him and send someone to the Great Sea to find the surgically produced fruit that would be reborn.

All of that is for later.

Luo Xing encouraged Vergo a few more times, telling him to continue as a spy within the Marines, assuring him that the Beasts Pirates would not treat him poorly in the future.

After speaking, Luo Xing intended to go find Viola and Rebecca, the aunt and niece, but Vergo suddenly stepped forward, lowered his voice, and solemnly said:

"My lord, this subordinate recently heard that the Marines have developed a special weapon, extremely powerful, possessing the strength to crush pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions!"

"Oh?" Luo Xing raised an eyebrow. "Do you know what that weapon is called?"

"It seems to be called... Human Weapon, Pacifista!"

91. Comparing weapons with me? Luo Xing's new invention, Cybertronians! (Requesting monthly tickets)

Pacifista?

An image of the Warlord of the Sea Bartholomew Kuma shooting lasers from his palm appeared in Luo Xing's mind.

This Human Weapon, modified based on Kuma's body and Huang Yuan's Flash-Flash Fruit ability, indeed possessed tremendous power.

In the original story at Sabaody Archipelago, a single Pacifista nearly wiped out the Straw Hat Pirates; if not for Second Uncle Huang Yuan letting them off, the Straw Hat Pirates would likely have been finished for good.

Vergo's voice said:

"According to my intelligence, this Pacifista was researched and manufactured by Vegapunk. Fleet Admiral Sengoku has high expectations for this weapon, hoping to reverse the declining trend against our Beasts Pirates."

Ever since Luo Xing invented the first Devil Fruit, the Marines' offensive against the Beasts Pirates has been in continuous retreat, forced to take only defensive blows.

Not only were more than ten base fortresses destroyed by the Beasts Pirates, but the Heavenly Tribute offered to the Celestial Dragons was also stolen twice!

This has led the World Government to dare not casually collect the Heavenly Tribute from the New World anymore, fearing the Beasts Pirates will go steal "537" again; they cannot possibly send the highest combat power, the Admirals, to escort it every time.

Moreover.

Even if Admirals are dispatched, it is no longer safe now.

Because the Beasts Pirates have already publicly exposed four Emperors-level combat powers, totaling three!

One is naturally the Strongest Creature, Kaido himself; another is the Inferno Calamity, who has stepped through the threshold of the Emperor level; and the last is the combined giant form of the Plague Calamity Queen and the Drought Calamity Jack.

This does not even count Luo Xing and Yamato, the husband and wife.

In short, the Beasts Pirates are now called the strongest Emperor crew, a ranking even Bai Huzi has tacitly accepted, and there is a reason for that.

Luo Xing, using the Doupaimai Society as a pretext, killed Donquixote Doflamingo, occupied Dressrosa, and destroyed the CP0 spy Stussy, causing the Five Elders to tremble with rage.

Subsequently, the Marines dispatched Admiral Akainu, wanting to retake Dressrosa and regain some face.
