Chapter 271

"Sign in."

Luo En answered in his mind as he strode toward the location of the dyna rocks.

The surrounding poisonous gases hadn't even gotten close to him before they were intercepted by the repulsive force emanating from his body.

【Beep, sign-in complete. Sign-in reward obtained — Qi and Blood +10.

Sign-in reward obtained — Imperial Arms of Ice 【Demon Extract】.】

【Imperial Arms of Ice 【Demon Extract】: An Imperial Arms forged from the blood of a super dangerous species said to dwell in Jibei in legends from another world. One who is acknowledged by this Imperial Arms possesses the formidable power to create and control ice.】

That world of Akame ga Kill — Esdeath's Imperial Arms, huh…

A strange glint flashed through Luo En's eyes.

He did not attempt to fuse with this Imperial Arms of Ice for the time being.

He would deal with those dangerous dyna rocks first.

When he arrived at the place where the dyna rocks were stored, he immediately spotted the delicate glass containers set into recesses in the wall.

The instant he saw where those glass containers were placed, Luo En frowned.

Something about it seemed off.

"This placement seems far too secure. Even if this island were struck by violent thunder, these dyna rocks wouldn't seem to fall and shatter… How exactly does the World Government plan to detonate these dyna rocks?"

Suddenly!

A deep, strange light flashed in Luo En's azure eyes, and a glimpse of the future appeared before him like a slideshow.

Having seen a glimpse of the future through his Observation Haki at the third stage, Luo En squinted at the wall ahead and said, "I see."

"The World Government really is playing quite the devious scheme."

He reached out and grabbed a bottle of dyna rock from the wall.

Just then, the space on the other side of the wall opened like a gateway from within, and a hand suddenly thrust out, snatching toward that bottle of dyna rock with the speed of lightning.

Just as that hand was about to grab the bottle of dyna rock, Luo En — who had foreseen this scene — flashed a brilliant light in his azure eyes, and a startling suction instantly drew that bottle of dyna rock into his hand.

"Wh-what?!"

A voice of astonishment came from within the spatial gateway.

Luo En reached out again and grabbed at the spatial gateway.

The suction exploded forth.

It forcibly dragged that person out from the opened pocket dimension.

Luo En pinched the neck of the person before him and lifted him up.

Looking at his horn-like hairstyle and combining it with his identity as a user of the Door-Door Fruit, he quickly recalled — wasn't this guy Blueno, that Door-Door Fruit user from the original work?

"Oh, so you're from CP9…"

Luo En now fully understood the World Government's plan.

First, have Blueno of the Door-Door Fruit place the dyna rocks and hide them here; hiding in a pocket dimension meant no one could possibly discover them. Then, once Luo En and Kaidou and the others gathered on this island, detonate these dyna rocks to crush them all in one blow.

And Blueno, who possessed the Door-Door Fruit, could even hide within the pocket dimension and escape that massive explosion.

It was indeed a flawless plan.

But Blueno had never expected Luo En to arrive here a step ahead and find this secret room where the dyna rocks were hidden. Seeing that the dyna rocks were about to be taken, he had no choice but to reveal himself early, intending to kill Luo En — the World Government's greatest enemy — outright by detonating these dyna rocks.

But he hadn't expected to be seen through.

Blueno clenched his teeth, closed his eyes, and prepared to die, his face full of unwillingness.

"Blueno?"

Hearing his own name from Luo En's mouth, Blueno instantly opened his eyes and looked at him in terror: "Wh-why do you know my name?"

Luo En looked at the terrified Blueno in his hand and said with a teasing smile: "Because I'm friends with Lucci."

Blueno's eyes instantly went wide.

"Chief Agent Lucci?! Impossible! Chief Agent Lucci could never be friends with someone like you who's trying to overthrow the World Government!"

"Is that so…"

Luo En looked at him and let out a meaningful chuckle.

Just now.

A fun plan had suddenly occurred to him.

One that would definitely let CP0 and the World Government try to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice — taking a massive loss.

"Wh-what exactly are you planning to do?!"

Blueno looked at his smile and felt deeply uneasy and panicked.

Luo En raised the dyna rock in his other hand and smiled at Blueno: "I want you to deliver these things to the World Government for me, Blueno."

Blueno's eyes instantly went wide.

Before he could say anything.

Luo En simply knocked him out, then used the power of his Rinnegan to gather a green chakra sphere in his palm and placed it inside Blueno's body.

When Blueno opened his eyes again, his expression was blank and vacant, like a puppet.

His consciousness had been completely controlled by Luo En through the Rinnegan.

That day.

After Blueno used the island's secret route to carry a large quantity of dyna rocks and departed the island aboard a submarine.

That night.

In the New World seas, on a mid-sized island under the World Government's control, a massive explosion occurred.

The island that housed a Marine branch office and the New World base of the CP1—9 agencies was directly blown apart!

The towering firelight from the explosion illuminated an entire stretch of sea.

The Navy branch office and all CP1–9 personnel on the island at the time were completely wiped out!

After the investigation revealed that the explosion was caused by Dyna Rocks and CP9's Bruno, CP0 concluded that the blast was the result of CP9 member Bruno's defection!

This matter enraged both the Five Elder Stars and the CP0 commanding officer!

The current CP9 commanding officer, Lucci, was immediately stripped of his duties and, suspected of colluding with the enemy and treason, was detained in a prison in Mary Geoise.

Shackled with sea-prison stone as a suspect and locked inside the prison, Lucci was utterly baffled, his face full of incomprehension.

What on earth did I do?

What exactly happened?!

235, the world's strongest, stepping onto the throne of swordsmen

After Luo En eliminated the threat of the Dyna Rocks and struck back at CP0.

After Luo En brought Luo Bin and the others to Punk Hazard.

Kuina could not help asking Luo En a question.

Why choose this island as the rendezvous point?

"Two reasons. First, this island is not too far and not too close to the Red Earth Continent, which makes it convenient for us to attack, to fall back, and to deploy our forces."

"Second, it's because…"

While the two were speaking, a massive red dragon dwelling within Punk Hazard spread its wings and took flight, soaring toward Luo En and the others.

Whoosh!

A dazzling golden blade-light flashed through the air and vanished.

The Wado Ichimonji in Kuina's hand slid back into its scabbard.

The flames spewed by that artificial creature, the massive red dragon, were sliced apart, and its enormous body was cleaved by the blossoming sword aura midair into three sections—head, torso, and tail.

"What a huge red dragon, it looks delicious!"

Witnessing this, the glutton Bonney's eyes immediately lit up with golden gleam; she grabbed little Xiao Qi beside her and charged in that direction.

"Wh-why are you dragging me along? Big sis Bonney."

"Nonsense, a dragon that big I can't haul back by myself."

Bonney dragged Xiao Qi as she rushed swiftly toward that side.

Luo En paid no heed to this scene and continued saying to Kuina: "The second reason is that this island lies along the sea current route from Fish-Man Island to the depths of the New World, making it convenient to receive and support those coming over from Fish-Man Island."

Kuina nodded: "So that's how it is."

After a while.

"Captain (Master), save me!"

Luo En and the others heard the voice and turned their heads to look.
