Chapter 146

How to form powerful techniques by making objects lose gravity.

Besides controlling massive mountains and seawater, and simply smashing them downward, could other offensive methods be developed?

This was what Luo En now had to consider.

Of course, while developing the Pika Pika no Mi's abilities, Luo En had not stopped his training of physique, swordsmanship, and Haki.

Even though he had blocked Akainu's Great Eruption, he had not done so easily, and one more strike would definitely be unblockable.

Yet facing such an Akainu, Aokiji could fight him for ten days.

Huang Yuan was probably also a monster on par with them.

Even though his current strength was already formidable, he still had not touched the level of an Admiral, the Navy's strongest combat power.

And the World Government still had the unfathomable Five Elder Stars, and that Im...

Since he had already stood against them, Luo En did not count on having protagonist halo protection like the main character, did not count on someone coming to save him when in danger; the only thing he could rely on... was his own strength.

One's own powerful strength is the guarantee of everything!

After these six months, Luo En would head to the Grand Line and the New World, to see if he could rapidly grow stronger through the system's sign-ins.

He wanted to possess the strength of an Admiral or even an Emperor as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the Navy sent that troublesome Huang Yuan to deal with them, Luo En would truly be in some trouble.

He couldn't just stay in the sky forever.

……

Just as Luo En was thinking about this matter.

Navy Admiral, wielder of the Pika Pika no Mi, Huang Yuan, Borsalino, had truly been dispatched by Fleet Admiral Sengoku to the North Blue.

He was now at the North Blue Navy branch, waiting for news from various places.

Once there was any information about that floating ship drifting in the sky.

Huang Yuan would immediately set out to rush over.

The World Government and Navy could tolerate a Golden Lion who had fallen from his peak and whose strength was steadily declining, but they could not tolerate a powerful, terrifyingly talented young man like Luo En.

God knew how far he could go.

If in seven or eight years another Whitebeard at his prime appeared on the seas, and one in his twenties at that, how terrible would that be?!

The Five Elder Stars would probably find it hard to sleep just thinking about it.

So they urgently recalled Huang Yuan, who had been holding the situation in the New World, letting him, who could move at light speed and briefly fly through photonization, head to the North Blue at once.

That traveler Luo En had to be dealt with quickly, before he grew beyond being able to be handled!

But...

Huang Yuan had already been in the North Blue for five days, and still had not received any news about that floating ship.

"Is that man really still in the North Blue?"

Sentomaru, shouldering his great axe, asked Huang Yuan, "Old man, if he just keeps not showing up, do we just keep waiting here?"

"Who knows."

Huang Yuan, wearing a yellow-striped suit and a Justice coat, with tea-colored sunglasses, sat in a chair, crossed his legs, and looked down as he picked at his fingernails.

"Could he have already left the North Blue? Didn't he say at the time he was going to the Grand Line? Could he have already gone?"

Sentomaru said with a frown.

"Headquarters doesn't have any news either, does it?"

Huang Yuan, head lowered as he picked at his fingers, said leisurely: "That kid is very clever, you know. Maybe he guessed I would come, so he's deliberately not showing himself..."

"We can't rule out that possibility."

Sentomaru nodded and said in a low voice, "But if that's really the case, it won't be easy to handle."

"Indeed not easy."

Huang Yuan nodded: "The World Government and Navy have provoked a troublesome enemy this time."

"The former Navy specially-recruited intern, the one Hero Garp took a liking to, traveler Luo En... what kind of guy is he really?"

Sentomaru looked at Huang Yuan with some curiosity: "Old man, are you very familiar with that traveler Luo En? From your tone, you seem to know him pretty well."

"Not familiar, just met him a few times. But..."

Huang Yuan raised his head, facing the falling sunlight, and recalled the gaze of that black-haired youth he had seen on the ship back then.

That youth seemed to have believed, from that moment on, that he would become stronger than him in the future...

And that kind of powerful, unwavering confidence, Huang Yuan had never seen in anyone else's eyes.

"Although I'm not very familiar, I do know one thing."

Sentomaru listened to Huang Yuan's words, his eyes narrowing slightly: "What thing?"

The next words spoken by Huang Yuan, who had his hands in his pockets and was looking up at the sky, made Sentomaru's pupils contract sharply and his heart tremble violently.

"That kid is a thorough and complete terrifying monster. If possible, I don't really want to be his enemy either..."

…………

131. Eating hotpot on Reverse Mountain, arriving at the Grand Line

The Pika Pika no Mi's ability, combined with Luo En's system space, was truly convenient.

A single batch of stored supplies could last for several months of use in the sky.

For a full six months, the Traveler transformed into a floating ship, drifting above the sea of clouds at an unreachable altitude of ten thousand meters, never once descending.

After waiting at the North Blue branch for a month without receiving any news about that floating ship or the Sky Calamity Brigade, Huang Yuan took Sentomaru and returned to Navy Headquarters.

After Luo En triggered that shocking North Blue incident that shook the seas, and publicly provoked the World Government and Navy, declaring he would enter the Grand Line, everyone was waiting.

But a full six months passed, and still there was no news.

The traveler Luo En and all members of the Sky Calamity Brigade, who had created major headlines in just a few days and shaken the entire sea, vanished from the ocean as if overnight, disappearing without a trace, leaving not the slightest mark.
