One Piece: Space-Space Fruit, Joining the Rocks Crew

"Lingling, the cadre!" Luo Tian suddenly stood up, and with a swift movement, he dodged directly behind Shiki and Newgate.

Then he pointed to the two people who looked bewildered, but then realized something was wrong:

"Look at them—how strong and robust they are! How incredibly powerful they are! How experienced and seasoned they are!"

Most importantly, they are now in their prime, when they are strong, healthy, and full of energy!

The children you have with them will definitely have excellent genes and extraordinary talents; they will be born strong!

Seriously, those two are the best choices!

In comparison, I'm too young, not mature or stable enough, and probably not your type! You should find someone like them!

Luo Tian put on a sincere expression that said, "I'm thinking about you and your future child."

Sure enough, Charlotte Lingling blinked after listening to Luo Tian's "reasonable and well-founded" analysis, finding it quite reasonable.

A robust physique and the strength to stand atop the ocean are indeed key indicators for cultivating outstanding offspring.

Although Luo Tian is young and handsome, his strength is indeed somewhat "weak" compared to Newgate and Shiki.

Can good looks put food on the table? Charlotte Linlin values ​​ability more.

Her eyes lit up, and her burning gaze immediately shifted from Luo Tian to Newgate and Shiki.

His gaze was even more intense and aggressive than when he had stared at Luo Tian earlier!

Just as Shiki and Newgate were about to confront Luo Tian, ​​that bastard, and question him about why he had "shifted the blame," they suddenly felt Charlotte Linlin's hungry gaze.

The two of them trembled, and their faces changed instantly.

The terrifying memories of being "pursued" by Lingling back then instantly flooded back into my mind.

Almost simultaneously, they sprang up from their seats with a "whoosh," not daring to look back, and burst forth with astonishing speed, rushing towards the open gates of the castle.

"Ski! Newgate! Don't run away! Don't you think Luo Tian's words make a lot of sense?"

Now is the prime age for childbearing; if you miss these few years, you can't guarantee the quality of your genes!

Seeing this, Charlotte Linlin quickly took off after her, shouting as she ran.

"Lingling! Go find Shiki! He's more experienced!" The white-bearded man's voice came from afar, unhesitatingly shifting the blame to Shiki.

"Bullshit! Newgate, you're talking nonsense! Lingling, look at Whitebeard's build and muscles, he's worth two or three of me!"

You can't go wrong with him! His child will definitely be stronger than either of us!

Shiki's exasperated voice came from another direction, not to be outdone.

"Neither of you are getting away! You'd better come back and have a few kids before you leave...!"

Soon, a chase was unfolding on Beehive Island.

As Luo Tian listened to the gradually fading sound, he couldn't help but swallow hard, wiping away imaginary cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear.

On the other side, John, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and others who were drinking didn't say much, but their eyes were filled with deep sympathy and a hint of schadenfreude.

"Hahaha...you're really something else."

"Ski and Newgate had finally managed to escape Linlin's clutches a while ago by raiding at sea, and now you've ruined it all with just one sentence! This is going to be interesting!"

Silver Axe slapped his thigh and laughed heartily.

They all refused Charlotte Linlin's invitation without hesitation and by doing everything they could.

Even though Lingling is incredibly strong and has an exceptionally beautiful appearance and figure, these ambitious men have no romantic "interest" in her.

They only pursue tangible wealth, power, and strength. Even when looking for women, they wouldn't choose someone like Charlotte Linlin, who is highly scheming and may have complicated connections.

Luo Tian took a deep breath, calmed himself down, picked up his wine glass and walked towards the silver axe, a helpless smile on his face:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Silver Axe cadre. I never expected that I would be 'focused on' by Lingling cadre in this way so soon after joining and before I could even settle in."

Silver Axe raised his glass in response: "I understand, I understand! Everyone has been through this."

You're quick-witted and clever! Come on, have a drink!

Although he had opposed Luo Tian becoming a cadre directly, he had gained more recognition for Luo Tian's strength and resourcefulness.

After drinking several more glasses of strong liquor and chatting briefly with Silver Axe, John, and others,

Luo Tian estimated that it was about time, so he got up to say goodbye and left the noisy central castle hall.

He decided to go find Shiki again.

He remained very interested in the idea of ​​temporarily staying on the other ship and exchanging sword skills.

Before he could even agree, Charlotte Linlin interrupted him.

By now, given Skeeter and Newgate's skills and speed, they should have successfully gotten rid of her, right?

Perhaps he's hiding in some corner drinking to calm his nerves.

As Luo Tian pondered this, he headed toward the harbor where the flagship of Shiki's pirate ship "Flying Fleet" usually docked.

The open-air banquet area outside the castle was even more noisy and chaotic than inside, with bonfires blazing.

The pirates mingled around tables, drinking and laughing, their arms around each other's shoulders, the air thick with the mixed smells of grilled meat and alcohol.

Shortly after Luo Tian left, one of the cadres glanced at the several other cadres beside him who were already drunk and snoring loudly, and his eyes flickered.

He pretended to be intoxicated and needed to use the restroom. He stood up unsteadily and left the noisy and bustling center of the banquet.

After making his way around several times and confirming that no one was following him, he arrived at a secluded, leeward coastline.

under the moonlight.

He looked around warily again, then quickly hid behind a huge rock, and then took out an encrypted Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

He took a deep breath, then expertly dialed a number...

……

At the same time, at Marineford, Naval Headquarters.

The marshal's office was brightly lit.

Kong is discussing important matters with the Navy's current golden generation—Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr.

"The Rocks Pirates in the New World have been expanding their power more and more rampantly lately, to the point of being almost unscrupulous."

Sengoku used his baton to point to several naval bases marked in red on the map:

"We are under unprecedented pressure in our G-1 to G-5 branches in the New World. Our supply lines are frequently attacked, and the morale of the base garrison is low."

The tentacles of the Rocks Pirates are constantly squeezing our living space, and many countries and forces that were originally taking a wait-and-see attitude are beginning to waver.

Our existence in the new world is practically nonexistent.

"Indeed, as Warring States said." Zefa nodded solemnly.

"The Rocks Pirates not only have that monster Rocks D. Xebec."

His subordinates include Edward Newgate, Shiki the Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, and others.

Each of them possesses terrifying strength, capable of standing alone or even destroying an island.

The gap in both the quality and quantity of our high-end combat capabilities is gradually being widened by them.

The more challenging aspect is replenishing the blood supply.

Previously, the G-3 branch sent back top-secret intelligence about the Rocks Pirates' newly recruited monster rookie named "Kaido".

His bloodline is suspected to be that of a demon, and his physical strength is unbelievable.

He single-handedly withstood the combined attack of three lieutenant generals from the New World branch.

They're still absorbing monsters of this caliber!
