Three poles in the sun.
The door finally opened.
Uchiha Xin walked out from inside.
My clothes were all tidied up, and I felt no fatigue whatsoever.
Perona was about to speak when her gaze passed over him and fell into the interior of the room.
The bed was a mess.
Kalifa lay inside, her blonde hair scattered on the pillow.
She's awake.
However, his body has not yet recovered, and he even has some difficulty sitting up.
The damage sustained last night has already been repaired by the Power of the Limit.
Otherwise, given her physical condition, she wouldn't have lasted this long.
Being repairable doesn't mean nothing happened.
Uchiha Xin's Power of the Limit can heal injuries, but it cannot erase the fatigue left on his body.
Kalifa also saw Perona outside the door.
Her face turned cold, and she reached out to pull the blanket over her body.
Have you seen enough?
Perona quickly looked away.
"I didn't look at it on purpose!"
She retorted verbally, but her body unconsciously drifted backward a short distance.
What I heard last night was the same thing.
Seeing it with my own eyes now is a different story.
Kalifa is a member of CP9.
Master the Six Powers.
His body has undergone years of training, making him far more capable than the average person.
Yet, even someone like him couldn't last a single day after being brought back to Sky Island by Uchiha Xin.
More importantly, Kalifa did not willingly follow Uchiha Xin.
She was taken directly from Enies Lobby.
There was no choice.
They had no right to resist.
Perona glanced down at Kumashi in her arms.
She suddenly realized that she was already lucky before, as she had only been taken away and imprisoned.
Uchiha Xin noticed that she was constantly backing away.
What are you afraid of?
Perona immediately shook her head.
"Who's afraid?"
"I just think it's a bit crowded here."
The Divine Palace corridor is wide enough for a dozen people to walk side by side.
She didn't even believe her own words.
Uchiha Xin glanced at her.
Perona hugged Kumashi tightly.
Fearing that Uchiha Xin would continue to press her for answers, she quickly added:
"I didn't see anything!"
"I didn't hear anything last night either!"
"Real!"
Upon hearing this, Kalifa's expression grew even colder.
"Shut up."
Perona shrank her neck.
She dared not provoke Uchiha Xin, but she wasn't as afraid of Kalifa.
Why are you yelling at me?
"It's not like I brought you back."
"Go ahead and yell at him if you dare."
Kalifa remained silent.
Of course she was fierce.
They also resisted.
The result remained unchanged.
The gap in strength between the two sides is too large.
Forget escaping the Sky Island, she couldn't even leave this room.
Uchiha Xin casually closed the door.
" Kalifa is different from you."
Perona paused for a moment.
What's different?
She has not yet submitted.
Uchiha Xin walked outside.
"Once she recognizes her place, her treatment will naturally change."
Perona remained suspended in place, not following immediately.
She glanced at the closed door, then at Uchiha Xin's retreating figure.
Is this considered consolation?
Kalifa received this treatment because she did not submit to the government.
In other words, as long as you're obedient, you don't have to become like this.
Perona did feel a little relieved.
But her vigilance did not lessen.
Uchiha Xin rarely gets angry over trivial matters.
They're not harsh on their own people either.
But that doesn't mean he has a good temper.
Whether it's the Navy, pirates, or the World Government, anyone who stands against him ultimately meets a bad end.
Tens of thousands of people Enies Lobby.
It was gone just like that.
Legendary pirate Golden Lion Shiki died without even leaving a body behind.
Kalifa at least still alive.
Based on that alone, her fate wasn't the worst.
Perona, carrying Kumashi, chased after them.
Uchiha Xin stopped only after reaching the platform outside the Divine Palace.
Sunlight shines on the sea of clouds at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Patches of Island Cloud can be seen in the distance.
Training sounds could be heard intermittently from the direction of the Divine Palace Square.
Tashigi has begun training the first batch of Sky Island soldiers who have completed their enhancements.
Neither the Six Powers nor Haki can be mastered in a short time.
Although those soldiers possessed the physique of Marine Vice Admiral, they could only be considered a group of physically strong rookies.
It will take time to turn them into a real army.
Uchiha Xin looked at Perona, who had followed him.
"Speak."
"What brings you here so early in the morning?"
Perona then remembered the important matter.
She put Kumashi aside and took out a wanted poster from her clothes.
"For you."
Uchiha Xin did not answer.
"A bounty poster?"
"Right."
Perona raised the bounty poster higher.
"The latest."
It was just delivered to Sky Island this morning.
"I specifically had my Ghost Clone retrieve it from the News Coo."
Uchiha Xin accepted the bounty poster.
The photo is the same one as before.
The content below has been completely changed.
Thunder Emperor, Uchiha Xin.
Bounty amount: 3 billion Beli.
Life and death are irrelevant.
Uchiha Xin glanced at the edge of the bounty poster again.
There was also a line of small print printed there.
Four Emperors and One Emperor.
Perona floated to his side.
"See that?"
"Three billion Beli!"
"Not a billion!"
"It tripled!"
She held up three fingers.
"The Navy also released all your battle records."
" Hawk Eyes, Moria, Crocodile, Chaton, Golden Lion, and Enies Lobby."
"Everyone in the Blue Sea is talking about you now."
"The newspapers also said that the original maritime landscape had been transformed into Four Emperors and One Emperor."
Whitebeard, Kaido, Red-Haired, and Big Mom are the Four Emperors.
You are the only emperor.
As Perona spoke, she herself began to realize she was exaggerating.
She had served under Moria.
The Shichibukai are already powerful figures that ordinary pirates cannot afford to offend.
Moria has taken control of the Thriller Bark.
He commands a large number of zombies.
There were also his men, such as Hogback and Absalom.
But after Uchiha Xin appeared, Moria didn't even have a chance to escape.
At that time Uchiha Xin was only appearing on the sea for the first time.
How much time has passed?
Several of the Shichibukai have died.
The admiral Admiral also died.
Even a powerful figure from the old era like the Golden Lion fell to his hand.
The bounty jumped from zero to one billion, and then from one billion to three billion.
What other pirates would take decades to reach, Uchiha Xin accomplished in a very short time.
Perona pointed to the bounty poster.
"Your bounty is now close to that of Four Emperors )."
"The title 'Thunder Emperor ' is much more prestigious than before."
"And there are also Four Emperors and One Emperor."
"The Navy is essentially admitting that you've reached the very top of the ocean."
Uchiha Xin watched for a few seconds.
"Only three billion?"
Perona's excitement vanished.
"What do you mean, only 3 billion?"
"That's three billion Beli!"
How many people across the entire ocean can reach that number?
Uchiha Xin flipped the bounty poster to the back.
Still nothing.
"A bit higher than one billion."
"Barely up to standard."
Perona stared at him.
She originally thought that Uchiha Xin, even if he wasn't excited, would at least be satisfied.
