Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

Although Robin is usually the most cunning and the one who can shut Luo Feng up with a single sentence, she is also the one who can see through Luo Feng's thoughts best when it's crucial and serious.

Luo Feng appreciated this intelligence, so Robin was always the undisputed and irreplaceable leader of the Godfall gang!

"I think it's still not safe. The enemy we're facing this time is different from the past, so it's best not to be careless."

Luo Feng closed his eyes slightly, quietly enjoying the small hands roaming over his temples, and responded.

"Isn't this safe enough? Heh, causing so many disasters at sea is far more terrifying than the Marineford War!"

Robin's voice was soft and gentle, her breath sweet as orchids, creating a relaxing atmosphere for Luo Feng.

After a while, Luo Feng, who was immersed in the gentle embrace, seemed to remember something. He suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed Robin's arm, pulling her from behind to in front of him.

"By the way, Robin, last month when I was training, you told me that Baroque retrieved a sealed rock from the underground market, is that right?"

Luo Feng's expression suddenly became somewhat excited as he looked at Robin and asked him a question.

"Yes, that rock is very peculiar, and its price is quite high. Baroque didn't figure it out either, he only knew that it contained a lot of energy."

"It's been in storage ever since that incident, and hasn't been taken out again. What's wrong, Captain?"

Robin was somewhat surprised, not understanding why Luo Feng had suddenly become interested in the rock.

Originally, Robin was in charge of managing the intelligence for the Baroque intelligence organization.

After moving to Godfall Isles, Baroque had its own complete set of operating rules, and it no longer needed Godfall's crew to manage it; it could operate entirely on its own.

However, when faced with major events or special incidents, the people of Baroque cannot make decisions on their own and are not qualified to go directly to Luo Feng, so they still follow the previous habit and report to Robin!

Robin, always understanding and considerate, naturally didn't mind these minor troubles. Instead, she was happy to help Luo Feng with some problems, and so the year passed by.

Last month, Baroque, who had already dominated the entire underground market of the New World, acquired a sealed rock from someone.

Almost no one has ever seen this thing before, and even the seller doesn't know what it is, but people can sense that it contains a lot of energy and is extremely violent!

The Godfall Pirates are now incredibly wealthy and have no shortage of money. Baroque immediately bought the unfamiliar rock and gave it to Robin.

Robin had mentioned this to Luo Feng, but Luo Feng was at a crucial stage of his cultivation at the time and didn't pay attention to it until now!

Hearing this, Luo Feng became even more certain that his guess was correct, and hurriedly said to Robin, "Have the Baroques bring me that rock, now!"

Just a few minutes later, the box containing the rocks appeared in the conference room.

'Snap!'

As the lock on the box was opened, a violent force swept out, startling everyone in the conference room!

Along with this power emerged a hazy purple light...

"It really is it, the Power Rock!"

"Dynamic rock? What's that??"

Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, everyone was puzzled and looked at the rock sealed inside the container.

It looks ordinary, but the power it exudes is truly astonishing!

However, that's all there is to it. While this power is formidable for the Baroque people, it's rather insignificant in the face of Godfall's group...

Each of them possesses energy countless times greater than this; even high-ranking officials don't have this much energy.

Everyone was simply curious as to why a sealed rock could possess such an aura.

"Don't underestimate it; there's a reason this thing was sealed away."

After confirming that the object was indeed the Power Rock, Luo Feng was overjoyed. This time, his worries should be gone...

Seeing the curious looks on everyone's faces, Luo Feng explained, "Once this thing is opened, the substances inside will come into contact with the air and explode within a short time!"

"And just one of these things is enough to easily destroy an island with its explosive power!"

"It can be said that if this thing explodes, it will be equivalent to the power of a single strike from an ancient weapon!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, everyone present was shocked. No one could have imagined that such a small thing would have the power to destroy an island!

Even the ancient warship Hades' Strike couldn't compare to this, could it?

The Navy's Buster Call is nothing special, isn't it?!

To everyone's utter astonishment, such a thing actually existed in this world...

"Crocodile, you've been searching for Pluto for over a decade, boasting of your vast knowledge of the ocean, yet you don't even know about Dynamic Rock?"

Luo Feng understood that it was the first time anyone else had seen this thing, but when he saw Crocodile's equally astonished expression, he was instantly speechless...

"Uh... cough, haha, people always have blind spots in their understanding."

Upon hearing this, Crocodile was taken aback at first, then chuckled and skipped the topic. Then, as if realizing something, he hesitated and asked Luo Feng, "Captain... if this thing is really that powerful, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"

"That's exactly what you think!"

Luo Feng's lips curled slightly, directly confirming Crocodile's idea. He then said to Robin, "Robin, inform Baroque in a moment to issue a notice in the underground market to collect Power Rock!"

"No matter how expensive, there's no need to lower the price. I just want speed. I'll take as many as I can get!"

Seeing Luo Feng suddenly become interested, Robin was slightly taken aback at first, then smiled and nodded.

"Let Power Rock bring our setup to a perfect close!"

"You're ganging up on me, huh? Well then I'll pull off a big heist and send you all on your way!"

Luo Feng's gaze was intense as he looked out at the distant sea through the huge glass window of the conference room. Even the usually composed man found it hard to remain calm at this moment, and felt a surge of inexplicable excitement in his heart!

The same goes for everyone else. The entire Godfall Pirates, who were originally under immense pressure from the impending attack of the two emperors joining forces, were now completely overwhelmed and filled with fighting spirit!

For them, as long as Captain Luo Feng was there, they had nothing to fear, even when facing two combined behemoths!

After all, they are now a genuine Yonko-level pirate crew, so who would be afraid of whom?

The Godfall Pirates' battle plan to counter the alliance of the two emperors has now been finalized.

Immediately afterwards, everyone left the conference room and went to prepare according to Luo Feng's previous instructions.

In the large conference room, only Luo Feng and Crocodile remained.

"Crocodile, wait a minute, let me make a phone call first. There's something I might need you to do."

As Luo Feng gave instructions to Crocodile, he took out a Den Den Mushi from the pocket of his cloak.

"Guhaha, yes, Captain, I really can't wait!"

……

Wano Country's capital, the Flower Capital—

On this day, the usually bustling Flower Capital was unusually quiet, with members of the Beast Pirates gathering everywhere towards the coast in the direction of Onigashima.

Even Orochi, the apparent ruler of the Flower Capital, was summoned by Kaido and led his servants to Onigashima!

It's clear that while Kaido is preparing to personally lead a large army to defeat the Godfall Pirates, he is equally worried about Wano Country.

Before setting off, in addition to assembling the main force, he also gave instructions to the garrison forces guarding Wano Country.

Kurozumi Orochi is another example. Although I despise this villain, he hasn't completely lost his value, so I still need to appease Kaido.

With the temporary departure of Orochi and Kaido's subordinates, the Flower Capital was left empty, with only a few retainers from the Shogun's mansion remaining.

The Flower Capital—Yūdō, is the territory of Kyoshirō, the strongest retainer under Kurozumi Orochi, and also the largest brothel in the Flower Capital.

At this moment, in the highest and most secluded room of this wooden building, two figures were sitting on the floor facing each other.

One was Kyoshiro, and the other was Komurasaki, the most beautiful woman in Wano Country and the top courtesan of Yugoku!

"Your Highness, you must be patient. There are less than two years left until the 20-year agreement is reached..."

"Lady Shi's prophecy will surely come true, and the soul of the departed Kozuki will surely return. The time for our restoration of our kingdom is not far off!"

With the giant serpent gone, in this secret place, both Kyoshiro and Komurasaki were finally able to temporarily remove their masks and reveal their true identities...

"I know...you don't need to worry about me, I'm fine."

Komurasaki's voice came from the shadows, but before Kyoshiro could reply, a Den Den Mushi rang... Nine.

Chapter 345 The Mysterious Man?

'Thump thump...'

'Bru bru bru...'

A series of footsteps and the ringing of a Den Den Mushi suddenly appeared outside the secret room door, startling both Kyoshiro and Komurasaki!

"Who?!"

Kyoshiro was shocked. After signaling Komurasaki to hide, he stood up, drew his sword instantly, and then slowly pushed open the door to the secret room and walked into the living room outside.

However, after coming out, there was no one in sight, and the footsteps that had been heard earlier had disappeared. There was only a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) on the living room table, ringing incessantly...

After carefully examining the room and confirming that no one was lurking inside, Kyoshiro hesitated for a moment before picking up the Den Den Mushi from the table and hurriedly returning to the secret room.

"Who is it?" "160."

As soon as I returned to the secret room and closed the door, I heard Xiao Zi's cautious voice.

Upon hearing this, Kyoshiro slowly shook his head and said, "The person is gone. We don't know who it was; they only left behind this Den Den Mushi."

"Your Highness Hiyori, look..."

"Go ahead and answer it, I won't say a word." Seeing that Kyoshiro was hesitant, Komurasaki smiled gently and said to him.

"Ok."

Kyoshiro nodded and then pressed the answer button, but remained silent, waiting for the other party to speak.

"Kyoshiro? Hmm... Should I call you Kyoshiro? Or Ushimitsu Kozo? Or perhaps..."

"Denjiro?"

As soon as I answered the Den Den Mushi, a casual and nonchalant voice came through.

The sound wasn't loud, but to Kyoshiro and Komurasaki, it was like a thunderclap. For a moment, the two of them stared wide-eyed as if they had seen a ghost, and collapsed to the spot, completely dumbfounded!

Denjiro, this familiar yet unfamiliar name, is Kyoshiro's real name from twenty years ago!

Back then, driven by extreme rage, he distorted his face, dyed his hair, and changed his clothes, becoming someone even his closest friends couldn't recognize. He infiltrated the general's mansion and became the most powerful and loyal 'lackey' under his enemy, Kurozumi Orochi!

All for the sake of waiting for the day Lady Toki predicted to arrive twenty years from now, so that she can avenge the Kozuki family!
