Chapter 165

That Bonnie, has she been getting a bit too cocky lately? Looks like I'll have to teach her a proper lesson one of these days...

After the four girls came out of the clothing store, Xiao Qi's back now had a huge bundle on it.

After another stroll around Fish-Man Island.

The sunlight of the Yang Tree Eve gradually dimmed, and Fish-Man Island seemed to be entering night as well.

After Luo Bin told this news to Luo En, who could not see.

Luo En spoke up: "Let's find a place to stay for now."

He had no intention of leaving Fish-Man Island immediately for the time being.

Afterwards, the group purchased a luxurious mansion in Fish-Man Island's most upscale district, the Fish Folley Manor, and settled in there for the time being.

……

That very night.

Luo En lay on the bed, his consciousness sinking into the Heart Lake, the Breath of the Sun circulating on its own, his stamina and spirit growing rapidly, only to be devoured by the bottomless vortex in his eyes, never reaching full peak, barely maintaining around two-thirds.

The lights of Fish-Man Island at night filtered through the massive floor-to-ceiling window, falling onto Luo En's face and body, who was in a state of deep sleep.

In the depths of the night.

The door to Luo En's room opened quietly.

A figure sneaked in stealthily.

The faint sound of the door closing made her whole body jolt; after confirming she hadn't woken Luo En on the bed, she finally let out a quiet sigh of relief.

She tiptoed closer to the bedside.

After leaning over the bedside for quite a while, gazing at Luo En's handsomely chiseled sleeping face under the moonlight.

She tentatively called out in a small voice: "Hey~"

"Captain~"

"Luo En~"

"Romance-blind stupid captain~"

No reaction.

【23】 No reaction.

She covered her mouth with a giggle, then slowly lay down beside him, lying on her side as she gazed at his peaceful sleeping face.

"Looks like I still got ahead of them. I wonder what they're being shy about, hehe."

"This way, the captain's first kiss is mine, mumu~~"

"Still no reaction... Looks like I can try out some of the moves from that book."

Just as the inwardly excited her was about to do something to the sleeping captain.

"What are you doing? Bonnie."

Luo En's voice suddenly rang out by her ear, making her whole body tremble.

Startled!

Bonnie, wearing a thin nightgown, was drenched in cold sweat, her face stiff as she slowly raised her head.

Luo En, with his eyes closed, propped his head up with one hand, facing her side, an expression somewhere between a smile and a smirk on his face.

Her voice trembled and stammered: "C-C-C-C-Captain, you're s-s-s-still awake..."

"No, I was indeed asleep, I just got woken up by you, that's all."

"By the way, I was woken up by you from the moment you came through the door."

Doesn't this mean he noticed from the very beginning?!!

So he was faking sleep the whole time!!

Cold sweat poured down Bonnie's face like a waterfall.

"Th-that, I suddenly remembered I still have something to do, I-I'll head back first." As Bonnie spoke, she tried to slip away.

"You're already here, what's the rush to leave? Why don't you tell me in detail what moves you were planning to use on me."

…………

The next day.

Luo En, along with Kuina, Luo Bin, and Conis, went to stroll around Fish-Man Island's Mermaid Coral Bay and Gyoncorde Plaza.

Bonnie, on the other hand, citing feeling unwell, stayed behind in the mansion at Fish Folley Manor and did not come along.

"Is Bonnie going to be alright?"

Conis said with some concern.

"I heard she caught a cold. Is it because she's not used to Fish-Man Island's climate?"

Luo Bin pondered.

The group walked through Gyoncorde Plaza.

"Luo Bin, Fish-Man Island also has a Road Poneglyph, in the Sea Forest to the northeast. Want to go take a look?"

Luo En suddenly spoke up.

Luo Bin was momentarily stunned, then her eyes lit up.

"Of course!"

The group headed to the Sea Forest, where they saw that Road Poneglyph stele. This Road Poneglyph stele was slightly different from the previous ones; inscribed upon it was an apology text from a human named Joy Boy regarding Fish-Man Island.

It seemed to be a repentance and apology for failing to fulfill a certain promise regarding Fish-Man Island back in the day.

After hearing Luo Bin translate the contents of this apology text, Luo En's heart stirred slightly at the word "promise."

Eight hundred years ago... a human... the giant ship Noah... the mermaid Princess who was one of the three Ancient Weapons, "Poseidon"... the waiting of the colossal sea kings...

A rough conjecture about that promise gradually formed in Luo En's mind.

On the promised day, all the people on Fish-Man Island would board that giant ship Noah, towed by the colossal sea kings who obeyed the mermaid Princess's commands, and head to the surface...

This matter was attempted eight hundred years ago by Joy Boy and the Mermaid Princess of that time, but it clearly failed.

However, it did leave behind a possibility for Fish-Man Island.

A possibility that could change Fish-Man Island's fate.

But... it really has nothing to do with Luo En.

【PS: Added an image to this chapter, you can take a look.

55, I did find a really nice image, but it seems the app can't display it... I'm crying】

145, the Blind Youth? The Great Villain Who Shook Fish-Man Island!

When the group arrived at the Sea Forest.

Inside the Long Gong above.

Neptune had just learned a piece of news that shocked him, the Long Gong ministers, and the eldest prince Shark Star to the core.

"That traveler Luo En... attacked Mariejois and Marineford?!"

Shark Star swallowed hard, his heart trembling beyond words.

"A bounty of... 1.34 billion Berries!"

One minister was also stunned speechless.

Cold sweat also broke out on Neptune's forehead.

Within a single day, he attacked both the holy land Mariejois and Marine Headquarters Marineford, and still managed to escape...

What a madman!

And now such a man is actually on Fish-Man Island!

He suddenly felt an immense pressure.

If this isn't handled well, and that man is angered... what will become of Fish-Man Island?

At the mere thought of it, waves of chill rose in Neptune's heart, and cold sweat poured from his forehead like rain.

"Father... did you just say he moved an island and smashed it into Mariejois?"

Shark Star suddenly asked.

Neptune nodded: "That's right."

"Father..."

Shark Star stared at Neptune with a solemn expression: "That Mariejois, it's situated at the top of the Red Line, isn't it?"

"Of course, Shark Star, what are you trying to say?"

Under the gaze of Neptune and several ministers, Shark Star said to Neptune with some agitation:
