On the Windrider, the women breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the unharmed Luo Wen and the blood-soaked Aokiji.
Aside from his tattered clothes and somewhat dusty appearance, Luo Wen was not seriously injured.
"Luo Wen, thank you."
Robin hugged Luo Wen tightly, tears streaming down his face.
Despite Robin's absolute trust in Luo Wen, firmly believing that Luo Wen would ultimately achieve victory.
But after all, they were powerful figures standing at the top of the world, beings that instilled deep fear in her.
But now, her captain has defeated Aokiji.
A shadow in Robin's heart was erased by Luo Wen.
"There's nothing to thank me for, you're one of my people."
Luo Wen patted Robin's head affectionately.
Robin, who is usually quite mature, showing such a girlish side creates a surprisingly beautiful contrast.
"Luo Wen, you're amazing! You're even a match for Admiral Aokiji!"
Tashigi looked at him with adoration, her eyes practically sparkling.
Vivi and Nami were also surrounding Luo Wen, chattering away.
"Okay, okay, stop talking."
Although Luo Wen enjoyed it, he still managed to calm the overly excited group down.
"Let me get some sleep first. I hope to wake up to the most sumptuous dinner."
Luo Wen, looking slightly tired, smiled and said...
He fought for five days and five nights without sleep, food, or water. Although this was far from his limit, a rest was still necessary.
"Okay, Luo Wen, you should get some rest. We'll be ready!"
Looking at Luo Wen, who was dressed in rags, the girls nodded vigorously.
"Okay, then I'll wait."
Luo Wen waved his hand, returned to his room, quickly showered, lay down on the bed, and fell fast asleep.
Meanwhile, Nami and the other girls went into the kitchen and busied themselves preparing a big meal.
Kalifa, now freed from her restraints, was utterly shocked, her mind reeling.
"He actually defeated Admiral Aokiji! This man is terrifying!"
She thought that Luo Wen was no match for Aokiji, but he managed to beat Aokiji so badly without sustaining any injuries himself.
In other words, this man has already reached the top of the ocean, and is a powerful figure who can act with impunity.
"Now, all I can do is offer my loyalty!"
Kalifa flashed, and at that moment she made up her mind.
Having witnessed Luo Wen's power, she lost all her ulterior motives and knew she had no choice but to follow the dark path from now on.
After only a moment's hesitation, Kalifa joined the kitchen, working with Nami and the other girls to prepare dinner for Luo Wen.
While everyone on the Windrider was enjoying themselves, Doflamingo was in a panic.
In the sky, Doflamingo fled rapidly towards the New World, his face showing a look of utter disbelief.
"So, what on earth did I mess with?"
Doflamingo muttered to himself, feeling a sense of collapse.
He watched the entire terrifying battle between Luo Wen and Aokiji.
The scene of the two colliding like a cataclysmic event kept lingering in his mind.
He wanted to see the Admiral go all out, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't beat that Luo Wen!
He traveled all the way to the first half of the Grand Line with the sole purpose of taking down Luo Wen.
I never expected to witness such a horrifying scene.
The feeling that Luo Wen gave him was similar to that of Kaido, with his ultimate defense, unbeatable power, and extremely vigorous vitality.
Aside from not being as good as Kaido at using Haki, they are in no way inferior in other aspects.
Based on this one battle alone, Doflamingo could confirm that Luo Wen was definitely Four Emperors- level powerhouse.
"Thank goodness, Aokiji found that guy first, otherwise I would be finished."
Doflamingo patted his chest, muttering with lingering fear.
If he were to approach Luo Wen before Aokiji and then spout nonsense in front of Luo Wen, he couldn't even imagine how wonderful that scene would be.
It must be covered in bruises and welts, at least.
"That's too brutal! I'm outta here!"
Recalling Aokiji's crushing defeat, Doflamingo shuddered and increased his flight speed.
His initial thought of causing trouble for Luo Wen vanished; now he only wanted to return to Dressrosa.
He could only feel a sliver of security in his own base.
He is, after all, Kaido's partner, so it's likely that Luo Wen wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him.
Probably not?
Doflamingo thought anxiously.
But you've offended the nun, and you think you can just run away?
Luo Wen said, "You're overthinking it."
On the ice of the deserted island, Aokiji sat there without any regard for his image; the spot where he used to park his bicycle had vanished.
Clearly, his bicycle had been destroyed in the battle.
"Sigh! We've really bitten off more than we can chew this time."
Aokiji scratched his head and said with a troubled expression.
Aokiji exhaled a breath of icy air, temporarily sealing off his injuries.
However, this is only a temporary solution; an injury of this severity will not heal in less than two months.
I originally just wanted to check on Nico Robin and, incidentally, see how the now-famous Luo Wen has risen to prominence on the high seas.
He had overestimated Luo Wen, believing he had the potential to become Four Emperors.
Little did they expect that it wasn't just the potential of Four Emperors of the Sea), but the actual strength of Four Emperors.
"This is truly an overwhelming surprise."
Aokiji smiled bitterly, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Robin-chan has found a good home, which puts his mind at ease.
As for Luo Wen, he was even more surprised. Not only was his strength beyond his imagination, but his ideas were also so unique.
To even think of inviting one of his Admiral to Luo Wen's team is utterly delusional.
However, Aokiji didn't dislike Luo Wen for this reason.
Everything was wonderful, except for my own serious injuries.
That's terrible. They were fine when they came, but they can't go back.
"Oh well, I'll just consider it an extra two months of vacation."
Aokiji grinned, making the best of a bad situation with a soliloquy.
However, in his current state, he cannot return to the Marine Headquarters alone; he will need to call a warship.
"Brubru."
Aokiji took out a Transponder Snail and dialed the Marine Headquarters.
Marine Headquarters.
"Brubrub!"
Inside the Fleet Admiral's Office, Sengoku's Transponder Snail suddenly rang.
"Aokiji? This guy actually contacted me on his own initiative?"
Sengoku was somewhat surprised to see the Transponder Snail ringing incessantly.
This lazy guy is usually elusive, only contacting me during missions.
But it seems like Aokiji hasn't been assigned any tasks lately, right?
With a sense of doubt, Sengoku answered the phone.
"Fleet Admiral, I'm wounded. Send a warship to pick me up."
Aokiji's voice came through the Transponder Snail Aokiji, and Sengoku's eyes widened in surprise.
"You're injured? Didn't you use the excuse of looking for Nico Robin to slack off again?"
The Sengoku was shocked by the question.
What's going on, little bro?
How did you manage to hurt yourself while trying to catch a fish?
