Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

These words were a wake-up call, filling Crocodile and the rest of the crew with a surge of pride, causing them to clench their fists.

In their eyes, Luo Feng's few words had painted a magnificent blueprint for the future, waiting for them to realize it!

No wonder the Four Emperors and the Pirate King couldn't pique their captain's interest at all. Crocodile and the others only then realized that Luo Feng was not just being casual at all...

On the contrary, his goals were astonishingly large, exceeding their expectations and beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!

No wonder, their starting point was an unattainable goal in the eyes of others. The terrible war at Marineford was just a brief announcement of their debut.

How could we possibly understand their future from the perspective of ordinary people?

For a moment, the entire Tianyun ship fell silent as everyone pondered Luo Feng's words, their hearts trembling and lost in thought.

After a long pause, Crocodile's distinctive, eerie laugh rang out: "Guhahaha, Captain, I really didn't follow the wrong person."

"I look forward to that day. It seems I'll have the chance to stand at a higher vantage point than that old geezer with the white beard and look down upon this vast ocean!"

^#!&{}(〇“However…”

Just then, Crocodile suddenly chuckled slyly and said, "Even if you, Captain, are powerful and unafraid of the many enemies you will face in the future."

"However, you can't change people's perceptions. In their eyes, even if we're not yet part of the Four Emperors' team, we're practically there."

"This also means that I will become a true Imperial Vice-President!"

"This title sounds much better than that lousy Shichibukai title. Even if I can't become emperor, being a vice-captain is not bad. Hahaha!"

Damn it!

Upon hearing this, veins bulged on Luo Feng's forehead, and several black lines appeared on his forehead. Clearly, this guy in front of him had left him speechless.

He almost spat it out. Luo Feng said, "I still prefer your initial arrogant self. Try to calm down..."

"The senior's brilliance... is so dazzling, so moving..."

Just then, Bartolomeo, the little fanboy on the other side, started causing trouble again, bursting into tears, his exaggerated behavior was outrageous!

While wiping away her tears, she also half-covered her eyes, as if Luo Feng really had golden light shining from his body.

"No, Senior Luo Feng's famous quote is just too inspiring! I'm about to burst into flames, I need to let it out!"

With that, Bartolomeo lunged toward Zoro's location, ready to resume the fight that had been abruptly halted...

"Are you an idiot or something? Two hundred million for that rooster-haired guy! I'll fucking chop you up!"

Luo Feng rolled his eyes instantly, bared his teeth, and started wrestling with Bartolomeo again.

"Two idiots..."

Seeing this, Nami rolled her eyes at the two of them. Bounty posters were something she wanted to avoid at all costs, and she really couldn't understand why these two were arguing about the amount of the bounty!

Then, Nami walked to the side of the ship and used her excellent Observation Haki and navigation skills to sense the nearby climate and ocean currents.

That's right, the Meteorite, carrying this group of people, has arrived in the New World after seven days of sky travel!

That's why they stopped searching.

Unlike others, in order to enter the New World, one must complete the ship coating in Sabaody Archipelago, the last city in the first half of the Grand Line.

Then they have to cross the ocean thousands of meters deep, risking their lives to pass through the deep sea ruled by sea kings. Only those who survive can reach the new world.

Alternatively, they could only apply to the World Government of Mary Geoise, which is located high in the sky above the intersection of the Grand Line, to open the gates and allow passage to the New World.

But obviously, pirates wouldn't do such stupid things when they're drunk, so the only option left is to risk going to the deep sea.

Clearly, with Nochiko on board, their group didn't need to go through all that trouble.

Passing directly through the air, ignoring the obstacles of the terrain, one can easily enter a new world.

Once you get here, all the Log Pose become completely useless. Unlike the first half of the Grand Line, where the Log Pose still had some effect, it becomes completely ineffective here!

The seas, terrain, and climate here are more dangerous and complex. One wrong move and you could be wiped out. Countless pirate crews have been wiped out here.

Even Nami, with her extraordinary talent for navigation, needed to adapt to the ocean currents and climate when she first arrived in the New World, as it was completely different from other places.

After sensing the surroundings and finding a suitable route, the senior officers, under Nami's guidance, piloted the Meteorite and began to venture deeper into the New World!

Looking at the noisy deck that had returned to normal at the bow of the ship, Luo Feng shook his head helplessly and could only curse Zoro and Bartolomeo as idiots for ruining his mood for watching girls!

Just then, a beautiful figure walked up to him. Luo Feng turned around and saw Weiwei, who had already taken off her mask and had long, light blue hair draped over her shoulders.

"What's wrong, Weiwei? Do you want to come back to my room for extra lessons?"

Seeing this, Luo Feng immediately took Weiwei's small hand, gently pulled her, and pulled her into his arms amidst her exclamation.

It's started. Luo Feng's old, frivolous demeanor is on full display; where is the trace of his previous righteous and awe-inspiring image?

Upon witnessing this scene, all the male crew members on board turned away instinctively, silently repeating, "I can't see, I can't see..."

小7群包说62括诺奇高，也2俏脸8微红，第 一时86间转过灵苍9身 去9。

Nami, who was standing by the ship, had just finished directing the navigation route when she saw this scene. She rolled her eyes, looked sullen, and kept muttering the words "old pervert"!

Robin, standing in the distance, cast a strange glance, her expression seemingly conveying a sense of 'Captain, you're getting better and better, it has to be you...'

Luo Feng was already used to these strange looks and had gradually become immune to them. He was so thick-skinned (and rich) that he simply ignored them and looked at Weiwei in his arms with a wicked grin.

"Mr. Luo Feng, you... let go...!"

After struggling for a while, Weiwei couldn't break free. Her face was flushed, and she glared at Luo Feng with a mixture of shame and anger.

Although the two had already spent a night together, Luo Feng acted shamelessly in front of everyone, which Weiwei, who was always thin-skinned, could not tolerate.

"Hahaha, tell me, Weiwei, what's the matter?"

Seeing Weiwei's flushed face, Luo Feng laughed a few times, released her, and asked Dao Yuan.

Weiwei stood up, her face flushed with shame and indignation as she straightened her long dress. Only after hearing the unscrupulous captain's question did she realize what had happened.

I clearly came to see him with important business, but after this interruption, I almost forgot all about it!

Then, Vivi pulled out her bounty poster from the newspaper next to her.

A hint of worry appeared on Weiwei's still slightly flushed face as she pointed to the information on the screen and said, "Mr. Luo Feng, look at this..."

Chapter 243 Thank you, but let's wait until tonight.

When the bounty was first issued, it was divided up among the people and they got their hands on it, which led to constant arguments.

Only Weiwei didn't get involved, and stood quietly to the side the whole time.

Clearly, it was her 'unique' bounty poster that made her panic and leave her momentarily at a loss.

Finally, unable to contain her worry, Weiwei came over and handed her bounty poster to Luo Feng.

"What should I do? What if the Navy recognizes me?"

"They clearly knew my Devil Fruit ability, so why did they write 'unknown'..."

“Mr. Luo Feng, I am very worried that Alabasta and my father might be implicated because of me?”

Seeing Luo Feng accept the bounty order, Weiwei finally couldn't suppress her worry and asked Luo Feng.

There's no way around it, her wanted poster is just too bizarre!

Not to mention the general public, even Vivi herself was completely baffled for a moment, thinking that the Navy had discovered her true identity, which was why this had happened.

During the Marineford War, she witnessed the power of the Navy. This level of combat power could easily overthrow Alabasta 097 Stan, not to mention the World Government behind it!

Vivi was terrified that her exposure would bring utter destruction to Alabasta!

"I see. That explains why you've been looking so downcast."

"I made a blunder. I was just trying to make you happy."

Luo Feng spoke with righteous indignation, trying to justify himself without batting an eye, claiming his earlier teasing was just to amuse her, which earned him several eye-rolls from nearby...

"Don't worry, your father and Alabasta will be fine."

"Most of the 'unknown' information on the bounty poster is true. They definitely couldn't find out your real identity. If they can't even find out your identity, how would they know your other information? What else could they fill in besides 'unknown'?"

Luo Feng stood up with a smile, ruffled Weiwei's long blue hair, and gestured for her to relax.

"The only trick the Navy played was your Devil Fruit ability."

"You should know that the Dark-Dark Fruit, just because it can strip away the abilities of all other fruits, will drive countless people crazy with envy, making them willing to pay any price and risk their lives to obtain it."

"The Navy is obviously no exception; they want to keep your Devil Fruit ability for themselves."

"So even without any information, your bounty will still be this high, and it will be noted that you can only be captured alive."

At this point, Luo Feng suddenly sneered and said disdainfully, "That's why I say the so-called justice of the Navy and the World Government has always been hypocritical!"

"It's just that their high status allows them to obtain most things in this world, and very few things can catch their eye."

"But once these things appear, they will bare their fangs, and the methods they use will be far more insidious than those of most people!"

"The Dark-Dark Fruit is one of the things that can drive them mad!"

Luo Feng's words were forceful and heavy, utterly disparaging the Navy, especially the World Government.

And indeed, this was the case, almost exactly as Luo Feng had guessed.

They couldn't find out Vivi's identity, but the section on her Devil Fruit ability was indeed ordered by higher-ups not to be revealed!

Once this fruit is exposed, it's easy to imagine how many people will come to fight for it, and there will be a lot of variables, which could very well cause the situation to get out of control!

The Dark-Dark Fruit's power is something the Navy and the World Government wouldn't feel comfortable letting anyone else have; they can only allow themselves to control it.

Furthermore, it's foreseeable how terrifying the power of the navy and government would become in a short period of time once this ability is mastered...

With their power, acquiring the most powerful Devil Fruits in the world would be incredibly easy for them, whether openly or secretly.

Moreover, it should be noted that the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability to strip away power has no side effects, which is far superior to Kaido's so-called SMILE Fruit; they are not even in the same league!

If this kind of rampant growth were to occur in the navy and government, it is foreseeable that they would have the power to wipe out all hostile forces in the world in a short period of time!

And they will rule this sea forever, and no one will be able to stir up any waves again!

This is not an exaggeration at all. The top combat power of the Navy and the World Government is sufficient to hunt even the strongest.

The number of followers is also ridiculously large; they could easily create an army of ability users...

In short, regardless of whether Sengoku and other high-ranking naval officers were aware of it, this was a death order issued by the government leadership, headed by Im and the Five Elders!

It's obvious that this group had this in mind.

After all, isn't this thing better than those so-called ancient weapons?
