Chapter 170

The World Government and Marine Headquarters quickly issued him an order, dispatching him to head out and arrest Luo En's group, who had appeared in the New World.

Marine Headquarters transferred personnel, and even brought Huang Yuan over.

There were also two Headquarters Vice Admirals, Stoloberri and Burndown Mountain.

The World Government also deployed its highest-level intelligence agency, CP0.

If this had happened before, the World Government and Marine Admiral Zhan Guo had once had a discussion about whether to ease relations and recruit Luo En as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

But after that incident happened, this proposal was completely rejected by both sides!

Obviously.

For Luo En, who had thrown an island at Mariejois and severely damaged the World Government's dignity, the question was no longer whether he would become the fifth Emperor of the Sea, but that his actions had completely exceeded the bottom line the World Government could tolerate.

Too reckless and unrestrained.

This was something they absolutely could not tolerate!

In the eyes of the World Government and the Marines, this guy's threat level was already higher than that of the Four Emperors!

"We must eliminate him as soon as possible, no matter the cost!"

This was the conclusion reached after the Five Elder Stars' discussion.

Regarding this, Steel Bone Kong and Admiral Zhan Guo also agreed.

Even if it meant deploying two Admirals and mobilizing all Marine forces in the New World, they had to strangle that guy in the New World!

The Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Luo En has come to the New World too?!"

Fire Fist Ace, whose bounty had reached 130 million after having gone to Wano Country and visited Red-Haired Shanks, was pleasantly surprised upon hearing this news.

"Do you know him?"

Ma Erke, who was sitting nearby drinking, was a little surprised.

"About seven or eight years ago, we lived together for a period of time. He was the same age as me, and he was already quite strong back then. I had never seen a peer of his who was that strong."

Ace said with emotion.

"Gurara rara."

Bai Huzi, who was drinking on one side while hanging an IV drip on the other, laughed heartily: "That's only because you were too weak back then. Of course, you're still very weak now. Gurara rara!"

Hearing his words, Ma Erke, Jozu, Vista, and others around them all burst into laughter.

Ace narrowed his eyes, stood up, lowered his head and adjusted his hat: "I didn't set out to sea to be laughed at. Even if you're Whitebeard, I won't acknowledge you as the strongest."

Boom!

Violent raging flames erupted from his right fist.

He raised his head and threw a Fire Fist of astonishing power toward Whitebeard.

Facing this strike.

Whitebeard, holding a wine gourd in one hand and an IV drip in the other, merely glared. A terrifying aura burst forth from his body, the air before him suddenly trembled, and a shockwave from the air vibration, like invisible glass, blocked this Fire Fist under Ace's incredulous gaze!

The next second, that shockwave erupted, scattering the flames, and struck Ace, who hadn't had time to elementalize, sending him flying.

"Lost again. That makes 48 losses now."

Ma Erke said, arms crossed.

"Of course, that's our daddy, the strongest man on the sea."

Vista said with a smile.

"Ara ara, have to repair the ship again…"

Jozu scratched his head, looking a little troubled.

Whitebeard took a sip of wine, his peripheral vision sweeping toward the direction Ace had been sent flying, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

He's a good seedling…

Whole Cake Island, Totto Land.

"Mamamama, he's already here…"

Xia Luote · Lingling looked at the Three Sweet Commanders below, "The Marines and the World Government should act soon. We have to snatch that Nico Luo Bin before they do."

"Leave this matter to me, Mama."

Xia Luote · Cracker clenched his fist, a haughty smile on his face, "I'd like to test whether that Traveler Luo En's strength is really as high as the rumors say."

"Cracker, I don't think you can handle him."

Katakuri glanced at him and said.

"Just the fact that he escaped from Huang Yuan and that Tyrant Kuma, I don't think you can do that. Honestly look for a chance to bring that Nico Luo Bin back, don't think about clashing head-on with him."

Cracker still wanted to say something.

"Katakuri is right. You just need to bring Nico Luo Bin back. That Traveler Luo En will be dealt with by the Marines and the World Government. This matter is left to you."

Xia Luote · Lingling looked at him and said: "Don't you dare disappoint me."

"Of course, Mama."

Cracker was full of confidence.

Katakuri beside him, although vaguely uneasy, couldn't quite put his finger on it.

…………

Dressrosa.

"That guy has already come to the New World… The Marines? Any news?"

Doflamingo, with Trebol, was inspecting the factories of Dressrosa.

"Aokiji has already been deployed, and Huang Yuan seems to be heading over from Marineford as well."

Trebol, snot dripping and cane in hand, said sloppily.

They had moles inside the Marines, so getting this information was child's play.

"Fuffuffuffuff, two Admirals, huh… that guy's really being given the red-carpet treatment." Doflamingo laughed wickedly: "After doing something like that, he still dares to come to the New World — he really doesn't know what's good for him. Catching him elsewhere might be tough, but in the New World, there are plenty of strong enough flyers roaming the skies…"

"I'm heading back."

"Already?"

"I have business to discuss with that one — I want him to throw his hat in too, so we can crush that brat once and for all."

…………

Wano Country.

"Provincial Military Commander, it's Doflamingo. He says he has a deal to make with you."

Queen, one of the Three Calamities, held out the Den Den Mushi to Kaido, who was drinking from a gourd.

The drunken Kaido reached out and took the Den Den Mushi:

"What is it?"

"You want me to send King out to help the Marines deal with that Traveler, Luo En? Wahahahaha — what's in it for me?"

Listening to Doflamingo's words on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Kaido narrowed his eyes: "Oh, you can really pull that off?"

"Alright, then I'll have King make a trip."

…………

While undercurrents from all sides were converging on the New World.

The Traveler had already flown above a stretch of Lei Ting's sea domain.

A figure leapt from the ship, plummeting in a perfectly straight line into the thick Lei Yun that blanketed several hundred kilometers.

149. Breaking the Cocoon in the Thunder, Ascending Core Blast Kick — Lv. 3! (Combined Chapter)

Within the Lei Yun.

Ten thousand bolts of Lei Ting writhed and detonated.

Bzzt-bzzt-bzzt.

A humanoid figure, pitch-black all over and wrapped in arcs of lightning, hovered at the center of the Lei Yun, enduring the baptism and lashing of countless bolts.

His right leg gleamed with Jin Guang, as the bulk of the Lei Ting's power surged madly into it, transforming into golden arcs of lightning that coiled around the entire right leg.

Those golden arcs of lightning then spread from the right leg across his whole body, tempering his Armament Haki-hardened flesh again and again.

The qi and blood within his body surged like rivers breaching a dam, rushing wildly.

Luo En's qi and blood value, which had stalled around 3,400, began climbing at a tremendous pace under the repeated tempering of this terrifying Lei Ting energy.
