Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

“A Devil Fruit? This color and shape… are quite rare,” Crocodile said.

"This is called the Operation Fruit!"

Luo Feng pointed at the painting and slowly said, "As you can tell from the name, this is the power of the fruit. Use your connections, resources, and connections to find out where it is and try your best to locate it."

"Whether it's the fruit or its current user, once I find it, I have a way to cure your hidden injury!"

Hearing this, Crocodile was surprised. He hadn't expected that a young man not yet twenty years old would know more than him!

He knows everything about Haki, the Four Emperors, Devil Fruits, the current situation, and even his plans that he has never revealed!

Now he knows how Luo Feng trains. He has lived for forty years and knows, without anyone telling him, how fast one can improve if one persists with this method of training!

Although the hidden injuries on the body cannot be cured immediately, we are not completely without a clue. At least there is hope. If we follow this path, even if the chances are slim, it is not entirely hopeless!

Crocodile gradually became interested, his expression became more and more calm, and his emotions calmed down.

Seeing his condition, Luo Feng nodded. He knew that all his words hadn't been wasted; there was still hope for this guy.

Fortunately, there was no downfall; there is hope for recovery and room for improvement!

If someone is like Moria, willingly degrading themselves, Luo Feng would rather not waste words on them than simply kill them in a one-on-one fight!

"The problems are all out in the open. Apart from these, all that's left is your own will and beliefs."

Luo Feng pressed his advantage, continuing, "You'll have to do this yourself; no one can help you."

"But you should know that Whitebeard is old, and you're not the only one eyeing his head."

“On this vast ocean, countless people are eyeing the heads of the Four Emperors. Ambitious individuals all want to take their place, and you are not the only one who wants to be king!”

"One day, Whitebeard will also be killed by the masses."

"You are in your prime, at the peak of your physical strength. If you seize the opportunity to cultivate diligently, and gain strength that surpasses that of a candidate general and approaches that of a general, you might have a chance to kill him!"

"No matter how powerful something like Hades is, it's not as reliable as one's own strength; it's ultimately an external force."

Hearing Luo Feng's words, Crocodile was completely moved.

Luo Feng analyzed everything he wanted, needed, and focused on, and even found solutions. It's hard not to be tempted!

These are not the most crucial points.

Most importantly, he was thoroughly provoked by Luo Feng.

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth who has been cultivating for a year has actually been driven to this point!

In the past, this was simply a fantasy!

This is absolutely devastating! It's unheard of!

Are all the younger generation this reckless these days?

If he continues unchanged and follows his own plan, stagnating, others will have already dominated their regions while he's still playing house.

"Hahaha, Luo Feng, you're really that terrifying. I misjudged you before."

Crocodile laughed heartily, and after a moment, he continued, "What you've said interests me. Let's give it a try!"

"At this rate, I don't know when it will end. Training... well, let's train then! I want to experience that feeling again!"

At this point, his laughter suddenly stopped.

"However, Hades, I will continue my search. After all these years of painstaking effort, hahaha... it's impossible to give it all up at once."

"Luo Feng, you have a way of knowing everything, so I won't hide anything from you!"

"Baroque has been in operation for many years, so it's only natural that it needs to be put to good use."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, completely unconcerned.

"That's your problem, I'm not interested. Come find me here when you want to train."

"You can leave now, crocodile."

Crocodile was speechless at Luo Feng's appearance, and then glanced at Robin in the distance.

"You brat... I'll send someone to find the Operation Fruit!"

His figure turned into a pile of sand, drifting into the distance, leaving an echo on the training ground...

Chapter Eleven continues to deceive Robin.

"The Op-Op Fruit, if nothing unexpected happens, should have been eaten by Law long ago."

Luo Feng smiled as he watched Crocodile leave.

He was well aware of all this; the fruit of the surgery had been eaten by Trafalgar Law when he was a child many years ago.

But he didn't care. He was only saying it now to give Crocodile some motivation so that he wouldn't be so depressed.

As for Luo, he wasn't in a hurry to search; he had plenty of time!

After all, Crocodile hasn't settled down yet; it's just that Luo Feng has initially stimulated and influenced him.

We'll take it one step at a time. The path and plan that Luo Feng has laid out haven't really begun yet!

At the edge of the training field, Robin was still in a daze, staring blankly in the direction where Luo Feng and Crocodile had just fought in the center of the field.

Even though the battle had ended quite some time ago, and Crocodile had left, she still hadn't come to her senses.

This battle had a tremendous impact on her mind!

In her view, Crocodile's power is beyond doubt.

She began fleeing from a young age, and the World Government and Navy have never stopped pursuing her.

She was constantly on the move, and perhaps it was luck, coupled with the help she received from some people along the way, that allowed her to survive in such harsh conditions and avoid being captured.

Until many years ago, she met Crocodile.

Once they learned of her identity and were attracted by her ability to decipher ancient texts, they brought her here.

Robin didn't run away either, after all, she had had enough of that kind of life.

Crocodile, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, possesses immense strength, enough to protect her, thus the two formed a cooperative relationship.

Crocodile even gave her a very high title: Vice President of Baroque Works!

That's how she managed to get through those few years peacefully.

But now, the sudden appearance of Luo Feng is constantly causing her shock!

It's important to know that not only Crocodile, but even Robin believed that Luo Feng was just a newcomer who was simply lucky to have eaten a powerful Devil Fruit.

Even though Luo Feng said those things to her a year ago, which did shock her, nothing came of it afterwards.

Robin didn't think this newcomer could cause any trouble under the powerful Seven Warlords of the Sea!

So even if he knows something, so what?

But things are different now. Luo Feng's impressive record has shattered her worldview!

In just one year, his strength surpassed Crocodile's!

That's right, not just catch up, but completely surpass them and leave them behind.

Robin knew that if Luo Feng hadn't been training for so long and was so young, he wouldn't have awakened his Haki yet.

If Luo Feng possessed Armament Haki, this battle would probably have ended much sooner!

Elementalization is not very useful against Armament Haki. With Luo Feng's terrifying speed and strength, he could probably defeat Crocodile with just his fists!

So young, yet so powerful, with such extraordinary talent—all of this reveals an overflowing innate ability…

"He might know something. If I follow such a powerful man in the future, maybe... I won't have to live in fear every day?"

Robin asked himself the question.

She knew that peace with Crocodile was always fleeting.

It's just that the other party didn't achieve their goal, so keeping her around is still useful. But if one day she becomes useless, then what will happen...?

Unbelievable!

Crocodile is no saint; he has always been a dangerous being, and being around him is like asking a tiger for its skin.

Luo Feng was different; at least on the surface, he said he wouldn't harm her...

If this is true, then Robin will only find true security by following Luo Feng!

Thump... thump...

The sound of footsteps approached, startling Robin from her reverie.

Luo Feng had already walked over and was now standing in front of her, looking at her with a half-smile.

"See? What I said a year ago still works."

Luo Feng smiled and said, "I know you need me, so now, I've come to you."

"What's the meaning?"

Robin's mind was in a daze, and he asked blankly, "Mr. Luo Feng, what exactly do you know? We... we should have met for the first time a year ago."

Seeing Robin's bewildered state, Luo Feng's smile deepened as he walked out of the training ground.

"Let's talk as we walk."

Upon hearing this, Robin followed.

"There's no doubt about it, we did meet for the first time a year ago."

“But Robin, I know everything about your background, your experiences, and your abilities.”

Now that Crocodile has been defeated by Luo Feng, he has no psychological pressure and can say anything.

"To be honest, Robin, I don't care about your dark past."

"What I care about is you as a person and your abilities. After the Ohara incident, apart from the World Government, you are probably the only one in the world who has the ability to interpret history."

"You are unique, Robin. Your abilities are extremely important to everyone."

Robin's expression shifted from bewilderment to understanding, and then he said, "Mr. Luo Feng, I really find it hard to believe that you know so much about my past..."

Luo Feng remained noncommittal about Robin's doubts. He naturally wouldn't tell her; there was no way to explain it, nor was there any need to.
