One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 157

Ray, perched on Weevil's shoulders, walked at the front, waving his hand without looking back: "Okay, okay."

Robin rode on the pink dragon and flew through the air to follow, with Loki bringing up the rear.

As Lipley watched Loki's departing figure, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

Although she didn't like Loki in Elbaf, now that they're on the Beasts Pirates' territory, they're practically from the same hometown.

She wanted to go with Loki, but she felt embarrassed. They were all just a bunch of kids; what would it look like if she went with them?

What will happen to her if Loki leaves?!

Raylor sent King and Barrett to renovate his palace and build a residence for Loki.

As for Ripley, he definitely lives in his palace.

Kaido wanted to have a drink with Rairou, but Rairou refused and sent him away.

What the hell? Lei Luo doesn't have time to drink with that drunkard right now.

Stussy smiled, his eyes crinkling, and gave Lipley a playful look before pulling Olvia and the others into the Doorway World.

Only Rello and Ripley remained at the scene.

Lipley panicked immediately.

No, please don't all leave!

Lipley lowered her eyes and saw Lero looking at her with a half-smile.

In an instant, Ripley's cheeks began to burn again.

"Why...why are you looking at me like that?"

Isn't it obvious what they want to do?

Jin and Barrett were very efficient; soon after, they called to report that the palace renovations were complete.

Lei Luo put down the phone and looked at Lipley with a smile. "Let's go."

Lipley gritted his teeth: "Fine, let's go."

She's a giant, after all; why would she be afraid of a mere human like Lei Luo?

That night, Lei Luo successfully completed the cave exploration and became the strongest man in the world!

(Omitted another ten thousand words; please fill in the details with your own imagination.)

Chapter 233 Should We Take It Over?

Lei Luo slowly woke up from the meat pouch, stretched, and even jumped around a couple of times.

Lipley was still asleep when he felt a movement on his chest and murmured, "Stop it, let me sleep a little longer."

Lei Luo raised an eyebrow and smiled.

A mere giant, nothing special!

However, Lei Luo didn't bother Lipuli any further. He got up, dressed, and walked to the window, humming a cheerful tune: "Opening the window early in the morning, feeling so happy..."

As for how beautiful it is, all I can say is: Lei Luo's happiness is beyond your imagination!

After dinner, Lei Luo went to Loki's place.

Loki's residence was built on the land brought by Elbaf and has been merged with the land of the Celestial Empire.

When Loki saw Rayleigh arrive, he waved and greeted him, "Hi, First Mate."

Lei Luo smiled and nodded:

"I'm sorry, Loki, the town is still under construction, so you'll have to stay here for now."

Loki said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I'm used to it."

The bitterness behind the words "I'm used to it" is probably only known to Loki.

Lei Luo sighed softly, "Don't worry, you'll be able to live with everyone soon."

“Yes!” Loki nodded heavily.

Then, looking around, he realized he couldn't find his new friend from yesterday, so he asked, "First mate, where's Ray?"

Lei Luo laughed: "Lei, he's doing research at the research institute now."

"Huh?" Loki was clearly incredulous. "Ray can do research? What kind of research?"

Lei Luo shook his head: "No, to be studied."

Loki: "..."

A faint smile appeared on Lei Luo's lips.

It wasn't some kind of random experiment; with me around, no one would dare to use their own son as a subject of experimentation.

The reason why little Ray was involved is that the second "Pluto" was not a complete copy of the first one, but rather incorporated the design of the Sky Island's "Ark Maxim" and could turn lightning into power.

In other words, the second "Pluto" can travel through the air without the Float-Float Fruit, as long as it has electricity.

As a being of lightning, Ray naturally needs to occasionally go to the research institute to cooperate with research and act as a generator.

Lei Luo asked with a smile, "Want to go take a look?"

Loki asked uncertainly, "Is it okay? And... with my size, I probably can't go?"

The research institute sounds like a secret place belonging to the Beasts Pirates. Can I really go there?

Lei Luo waved his hand: "It's okay, you can go."

"Pluto" is a very large warship. Rylo suspects that the first builders were giants, and its owner was also a giant, so Loki could also enter it.

Loki's eyes lit up. "Then I'll go."

"Okay, let's go."

Flaming clouds rose beneath Raylo's feet, carrying Loki towards the research institute.

The research institute is completely independent of the Celestial Empire, situated on an isolated island in the sky.

Quinn, Asie, and Judge, three scientific giants, are working together on a research project.

Ray lay casually on the sofa, eating snacks, and stretched out one finger, shooting lightning at the engine.

Weeble and Barrett are here too.

Weevil was here because the two brothers had been inseparable ever since they met Ray.

Barrett is here because...

He was more excited than anyone else when he learned that the second "Pluto" could fly.

He always believed that King's bounty was higher than his, simply because the Float-Float Fruit allowed Hades to come and go freely, maintaining a constant deterrent effect on the world.

However, if Hades himself can fly, then his fusion fruit can also fuse with Hades, achieving the same deterrent effect.

Catching up with Jhin in the bounty is just around the corner!

However, the second-generation "Pluto" still needs lightning as its power source, so even if it is successfully created, Ray will still need to sit inside the "Pluto" capsule after the fusion.

The research requires Ray's cooperation, and Ray's cooperation will be needed again at the time, so Barrett is being unusually nice to Ray now.

Almost all of his salary was spent on Ray, and these snacks were bought by him.

Upon seeing Lei Luo's arrival, the group greeted him warmly.

Lei Luo smiled and nodded, letting them go about their business.

Loki circled around Hades with stars in his eyes.

Although I had seen the warship in a live broadcast, nothing compares to the awe-inspiring sight of it in person.

Quinn stopped what he was doing and went to a tea table with Rello and Barrett to have some tea.

He is different from Asie and Judge.

He was among the first to join the Beasts Pirates, one of the founding members, and a true high-ranking officer.

Quinn lit a cigar and asked with a smile, "First mate, would you like one?"

Lei Luo waved his hand: "No, I'm not used to smoking cigars."

Lei Luo picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued, "How's the research going? When can the second 'Pluto' be ready?"

"Soon, soon," Quinn said, sounding like a seasoned veteran.

Lei Luo didn't care, because he didn't want to cause trouble in the short term, nor did he need both "Pluto" ships to be deployed at the same time.

It's simply a matter of being prepared.

Barrett, who was standing nearby, said irritably, "You're always saying 'almost there,' but how long have you been saying 'almost there'?"

Quinn blew out a puff of smoke, grinned, and said dismissively, "It'll be soon."

Barrett snorted and said nothing more.

Queen holds a high position in the Beasts Pirates, so it's fine for him to complain a bit, but he has no right to criticize Queen.

Lei Luo rubbed his chin and laughed, "By the way, Barrett, shouldn't you be renovating the town right now? Why are you at the research institute?"

Barrett: "Uh... this... that..."

Judge glanced furtively at the group of people drinking tea, then at Ray, Weevil, and Loki.

These kids are all terrifying.

He himself was no match for these monsters, but his child…

They don't seem to be as good as these monsters' children!

Does that mean the Vinsmoke family can only serve as scientists within the Beasts Pirates?

Even if the Beasts Pirates really do overturn the world, Vinsmoke should still have a place.

But... what do I have to fight these monsters with?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Judge, reminding him of the lineage factor he had researched at Vegapunk and the technology from ancient history he had encountered recently.

Another thought suddenly occurred to me: perhaps my child could…

As they drank tea at the table, Lei Luo suddenly remembered the son Quinn had abandoned and asked:

"Quinn, why don't you bring your son to the Beasts Pirates?"

S: Speechless. He said he wouldn't accept speculation, but Oda admitted in the latest SBS that Franky is Queen's son.

Chapter 234 The Biggest Victim

Franky, aside from other things, is also one of the world's top scientists; you could say he's a scientist in the guise of a shipwright.

It's no wonder that the concept of bloodline permeates all Japanese manga.

The son is strong because his father is strong, and Franky's technological prowess is due to his father, Quinn, being a top figure at the very top of the technological pyramid.

Quinn was clearly taken aback. "Why is the first mate suddenly asking this?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered that you have a son," Lei Luo replied casually.

Quinn couldn't help but exclaim, "First mate, your memory is amazing!"

The fact that he had a son was something he had casually mentioned at a banquet when he first joined the Beasts Pirates. He had almost forgotten about it, but the vice-captain actually remembered.

Lei Luo smiled faintly and asked, "So, should we take it or not?"

Quinn exhaled a puff of smoke, rubbed his chin, and began to think seriously.

In the past, there would have been no need to even consider it.

My son is nothing compared to scientific research!!

Besides, what kind of pirate carries a burden by their side? They might get wiped out in one fell swoop.

But today is different.

The Beasts Pirates are on the right track, and his research is progressing more and more smoothly.

So taking it over isn't out of the question.
