As evening falls, the sun sets in the west.
On the Windrider, which was heading towards Dressrosa, Luo Wen had no idea what Doflamingo was thinking.
Of course, even if I knew, I wouldn't care at all.
In the face of absolute power, petty tricks are useless.
At this moment, Luo Wen and his group were taking stock of their gains.
"Artificial Mythical Zoan - Dragon mode, five Artificial Devil Fruits, and a production line for Artificial Devil Fruit."
"This haul has been truly substantial!"
The women exclaimed in amazement at Punk Hazard's haul.
"That's not all. I also gained a beautiful prisoner and a capable lieutenant."
Luo Wen pointed to Monet, who was wearing Seastone Handcuffs, and Hina, who was still catching up with Gion.
Monet snorted and turned his head away.
Luo Wen didn't care; he figured he'd wait until he had time to do a defeat CG, Monet would behave herself.
Hina humbly replied to Luo Wen, "In terms of talent, I am no match for Sister Gion!"
Hina truly believed this; in terms of both strength and experience in naval management, she was far inferior to Gion, a former candidate for Admiral.
Gion arranged the newly recruited navy personnel with just a few words, something Hina knew she couldn't do herself.
"Didn't you hear what Luo Wen said? He's about to build New Marines. Are you trying to kill me by not helping him?!"
Gion patted Hina on the shoulder and said in an annoyed tone.
The New Marines that Luo Wen spoke of was not just talk; he would definitely take action.
That's a huge project; she couldn't possibly manage it all by herself.
"Hehe, I'll do my best to help!"
Hina stuck out her tongue playfully and said.
She was really looking forward to the New Marines that Luo Wen had mentioned.
Not long after, Hina, Kalifa, and Tashigi were pulled away by the mermaids to inquire about the detailed story of Punk Hazard.
"I never imagined that there would be so much shady dealings on an island abandoned by the navy!"
Shirahoshi, Madame Shyarly, and the other merfolk were all deeply moved.
They never expected that following Luo Wen would lead to such a thrilling event.
What's even more outrageous is that Luo Wen actually abducted more than 2,000 marines; that's absolutely insane.
If things continue this way, it's only a matter of time before Luo Wen becomes the King of the World!
Then, Fish-Man Island can move to the mainland to live.
As they thought about it, the merfolk's eyes practically stretched into slits as they looked at Luo Wen.
Luo Wen also noticed the mermaid girls' expressions and felt a little smug.
Now, it's likely that with just a snap of the fingers, plenty of mermaids would come knocking on your door.
However, although Luo Wen was very interested in studying the physiology of mermaids, he decided to wait.
Because he has a more pressing goal.
Luo Wen walked to Gion's side and whispered in her ear, "Come to my room tonight and we'll discuss the bet."
Gion's body trembled, and a blush crept onto her ears. She nodded almost imperceptibly, accepting Luo Wen's invitation.
On one side, Nami, Robin, Vivi, and the other girls smiled.
"I told you, we'd definitely take it down in less than two months!"
Vivi said smugly.
"She didn't last two months; she only lasted a month, okay?"
Robin corrected Vivi's mistake.
"Luo Wen's abilities are far more impressive than we imagined!"
Nami rubbed her forehead, somewhat helpless.
"Hehe, I approve of him in this regard!"
Vivi gave Luo Wen a thumbs up and said playfully.
"..."
Gion walked calmly into the cabin as if he hadn't heard anything.
But inside, he was seething with hatred.
Once the New Marines is established, I'll definitely make you guys do all the hard labor!
Beside them, Nojiko and Uta looked rather sullen.
As more and more women appeared on the ship, Boa Hancock successfully rose to power after them.
Time is running out for them.
The two glanced at the mermen flirting with Luo Wen and felt a growing sense of urgency.
Before we knew it, night had fallen, and the moon and stars were few.
While waiting for Gion in his room, Luo Wen also sorted through the harvest.
The 600 million Beli sent by Vergo have now become part of the progress bar, pushing it to 42%.
However, the improvement in strength was not as significant as before.
Luo Wen only inherited some gun-fighting experience; as for the improvement in attributes, it was better than nothing.
In terms of basic attributes, it doesn't offer much of a boost to Luo Wen is already nearing the limit of Heroic Spirit.
After all, the value of Karna's template lies mostly in his inherent skills and Noble Phantasm.
His inherent skills and Noble Phantasms were completely inherited when he obtained the template, without any compromise.
I must say, this aspect of the system is quite commendable.
The real prize from the Punk Hazard trip wasn't the 600 million Beli.
Kalifa obtained the Mythical Zoan Dragon form, greatly enhancing her strength and potential.
They obtained five Artificial Devil Fruits, which were flawed, and together they could probably sell for 300 million Beli.
And then there's Caesar and his SAD production line; if they were sold, it would be worth two or three billion Beli.
More importantly, he recruited over 2,000 marines, laying the foundation for his future power.
It can be said that the gains from Punk Hazard were even greater than those from the raid on the Celestial Dragons.
"Next stop, Dressrosa!"
Luo Wen was already looking forward to it.
In his plan, once he captured Dressrosa, his grand ambitions could officially begin.
As Doflamingo's painstakingly built base, Luo Wen had a premonition that the gains there would be no less than those from Punk Hazard.
There is a vast estate owned by Doflamingo there, containing countless Beli.
That area is also the source of raw materials for Artificial Devil Fruit. Controlling that area would allow for a monopoly on the production of Artificial Devil Fruit.
Once he accepts those things, his new power will have fertile ground to grow.
After thinking for a while, Luo Wen stopped pondering; there was another important matter to attend to that evening.
Luo Wen made a bet with Gion: if Luo Wen could find a powerful Devil Fruit suitable for Kalifa on Punk Hazard, Gion would spend the night in Luo Wen's room.
Clearly, it's time to make it happen.
Judging by the time, it was already late at night.
Luo Wen dialed a Transponder Snail and said, "Gion, it's almost time."
"..."
Gion remained silent, her face flushed, thinking to herself, "It's finally here."
She has been mentally preparing herself ever since Punk Hazard ended.
But it's still really hard to accept just giving myself away like this!
She wanted to slap herself twice; how could she have made such a bet!
Is the Transponder Snail broken?
Luo Wen listened intently and heard slightly disordered breathing.
Turns out, she was just shy.
Luo Wen understood, and was pleasantly surprised.
Even the usually dignified and spirited Gion would blush in the face of such things, which made Loven like Luo Wen even more.
However, if Gion isn't ready, it's fine to wait a while.
Thinking of this, Luo Wen said, "I'm not in such a hurry. We can talk about it later."
Upon hearing this, Gion sighed and said, "No need, I'll be right there."
Afterwards, Gion hung up the Transponder Snail and headed towards Luo Wen's room.
The longer I wait, the more upset I become. It's better to cut things off quickly and decisively to avoid any unforeseen complications.
As for not keeping the promise, that's absolutely impossible!
She's willing to accept defeat; she has that much magnanimity.
Moreover, she had already prepared herself mentally after boarding Luo Wen's ship.
Overall, aside from being a womanizer, this man isn't unpleasant.
Soon, Gion entered Luo Wen's room.
Looking at the beauty before him, Luo Wen, who had seen countless people, was slightly amazed.
She wore a white, half-slit bathrobe that accentuated her perfect figure.
Between the slits, long, fair legs were faintly visible.
It's no exaggeration to say that he could admire those legs for a year.
Even if other people have legs, he could play for a year and that would be fine too.
Gion's previously stunning and spirited face now showed a hint of shyness, and her sharp eyes held a touch more allure.
It's like a female general in military uniform, after she takes off her armor.
Her beauty is tinged with a heroic spirit, arousing a powerful desire to conquer.
Or rather, Gion was a shogun from the beginning, both in the navy and in the power he would later establish.
"Then, let me help the general undress."
Luo Wen stepped forward with a smile and said gently.
Getting straight to the point is something a defeated CG should do, something they should do to Monet.
Even for one's own Gion, there should still be some charm.
Gion rolled her eyes at Luo Wen.
Is undressing the general a special kind of romantic gesture?
This guy is just as awful as I imagined.
"Then you can do it."
Gion tried to remain calm as she spoke.
Her face flushed crimson, and she waited nervously for Luo Wen's next move.
Slowly, she felt a pair of burning hands.
That hand was like a magical furnace, gradually drawing her in.
As Luo Wen looked at Gion, who had taken off her bathrobe, a perfect body appeared before him.
At that moment, a poem came to mind, and Luo Wen n't help but recite it aloud.
"I and the general removed our battle robes, and spent a warm spring night in the Phoebe. The spring night was too short, and the sun rose high; from then on, the emperor no longer held morning court."
"What kind of lousy poem did you write!"
Gion was taken aback, then said with embarrassment and annoyance.
Each poem is quite proper on its own, but when put together, it becomes rather improper.
"That means you're so beautiful, so gorgeous I can't resist you!"
Luo Wen wrapped his arms around Gion's waist and whispered in her ear.
In times like these, you should say some kind words.
Moreover, his Gion is truly breathtakingly beautiful.
"Um."
Gion blushed, but also felt a surge of joy.
At this point, it's always more comforting to hear praise from your partner.
Afterwards, the two became deeply entwined.
In a daze, the night passed.
