Kalifa was annoyed at Hancock for "stealing her love" and wanted to persuade Luo Chen again.
But Hancock gave her a pitiful look. Kalifa's usually cool eyes immediately became blurry and filled with adoration.
Her heart softened, and she directly agreed to Hancock's request.
Tonight, she would yield Luo Chen to the other woman.
Robin watched the show from the side, smiling with amusement.
Hancock's charm was truly astonishing.
Even Kalifa, a World Government agent and a woman herself, could not resist it.
Luo Chen invited the three women to sit down. He also found a chair at random, sat down, and asked if anything major had happened in the past twenty-plus days.
Robin thought for a moment, organized her thoughts, and spoke about several matters.
"Currently, the Totto Land waters are still using the old name."
"Counting Whole Cake Island, which has been renamed 'Sea-Suppressing Star Hub,' a total of thirty-five islands are under our control."
"Seventy percent of the original Big Mom Pirates' combatants have left."
"Ninety percent of the original residents of the Totto Land islands have left."
"The remaining ones have all been incorporated into the God Meteor Pirate Crew."
She took out a notebook from the pile of documents on the conference table, opened it, and read:
"Currently, within the waters of Totto Land, there are only a little over three thousand original residents left."
"There are only 6,617 combatants remaining from the original Big Mom Pirates."
Luo Chen was somewhat surprised. "So many island residents moved away?"
The retention and departure of combatants were within his expectations.
But the fact that ninety percent of Totto Land's original civilians had evacuated was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Robin nodded. "These residents are just like the residents in Whitebeard's territory who refused to submit; they are worried that we will be destroyed by the World Government."
She smiled helplessly. "The Five Elders personally mobilizing to besiege you at the Sabaody Archipelago made these residents uneasy, and they didn't dare to stay for long."
"Now, among the thirty-five islands within Totto Land, apart from here, only one other island has a settled population of over three thousand people."
"The remaining thirty-three islands have no civilians living on them."
"They are being garrisoned by Bullet, Enel, Shiryu, and others, as well as the more than six thousand surrendered combatants."
Robin glanced at the Empress and added:
"Bullet and the others number only seven, each stationed on one island."
"The remaining islands are temporarily garrisoned by the female warriors of Amazon Lily dispatched by Hancock."
Luo Chen nodded silently after listening.
It seemed he didn't have enough manpower.
The territory of Totto Land was vast, with more than thirty islands.
Previously, Big Mom was very fertile, and her many children were stationed separately.
Now, he didn't have that many people under his command, so he could only ask Hancock's national defense warriors to help garrison them for the time being.
Luo Chen asked, "Has the operation to hunt pirates begun? What are the results?"
There were still many corpses of strong individuals in the Kamui dimension that could be used for Impure World Reincarnation.
So before going into seclusion, he had specifically emphasized this to Robin.
Once Bullet and the others were settled, they were to go out and hunt pirates.
Those with bounties over a hundred million were to be kept alive; for those under a hundred million, it didn't matter if they were killed or kept.
Robin smiled. "The pirate hunting operation went quite smoothly. In over twenty days, thirteen pirates with bounties over a hundred million were caught, with the highest bounty reaching five hundred billion Berries."
"As for those under a hundred million but above fifty million, I also had Bullet and the others capture more than three hundred of them."
"They are currently detained in the prison of the Sea-Suppressing Star Hub."
In the New World, the one thing that wasn't lacking was pirates.
The pirate hunting operation was progressing fairly smoothly.
Luo Chen rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
It was time for Impure World Reincarnation.
Shimotsuki Ryuma, Crocodile, Oars... there were quite a few corpses of strong individuals in the Kamui dimension.
He didn't know when the World Government would attack.
He needed to establish an Impure World Reincarnation army as soon as possible to guard the territory of Totto Land.
The territory had been conquered and was being rebuilt with massive construction projects. If the World Government destroyed it, Luo Chen would definitely feel the heartache.
After all, transforming these islands cost real silver and gold.
Wealth he had snatched from various places after fighting life-and-death battles.
Kalifa's eyes flickered as she listened from the side.
She had known about Luo Chen capturing live pirates for a long time.
But no one told her exactly what they were used for.
Asking Robin, Robin said she didn't know.
Asking Hancock or Nami, both said they didn't care.
Asking Luo Chen, Luo Chen had been in seclusion the whole time.
"What exactly does he want to do with living people?" Kalifa wondered internally.
Looking at Luo Chen's past behavior, he wouldn't do useless things.
Capturing so many powerful pirates definitely had a purpose.
Moreover, it was very likely to cause trouble for the World Government's subsequent attacks.
She felt it was necessary to find out clearly.
"I can only start with Luo Chen, but I can't compete with Hancock..." Kalifa was extremely frustrated.
She had sacrificed a lot for Luo Chen.
Knowing her beauty was inferior to Hancock's, Kalifa had played in many stimulating ways.
As a result, she still couldn't grasp Luo Chen's heart.
At the very least, when Hancock bullied her, Luo Chen didn't speak up to intervene.
"This bastard, uses me and throws me away..." Kalifa gritted her teeth secretly, so angry she wanted to bite Luo Chen.
At this moment, Robin smiled faintly and said, "You just came out of seclusion and aren't familiar with the newly built island yet. Let me show you around."
Luo Chen nodded, let Hancock and Kalifa go about their business, and followed Robin outside.
He estimated that Robin had some matters to discuss.
Because Kalifa was present, she could only create an opportunity for them to be alone.
The two walked out of the Heaven Meteor Pavilion.
Robin led him through the palace complex to the huge, square, trapezoidal platform with steep walls.
She pointed at the nine-story black stone tower behind the palace complex and smiled. "That tower is called the Star Gazing Tower."
"The spherical Armillary Sphere on the top of the tower is a technological radar designed by the Germa Kingdom. It can detect all ships within the Totto Land territory and effectively identify enemy ships."
Luo Chen was stunned. The Germa Kingdom?
He remembered that was the maritime nation ruled by Sanji's family.
Their technological power was very strong, and the raid suits they developed could make ordinary people invulnerable and possess extraordinary combat power.
Moreover, they were proficient in Lineage Factor technology.
Sanji and his brothers and sister were all modified humans created via Lineage Factor technology.
Their strength was not inferior to the elite cadres of an Emperor's crew.
The kingdom's overall technological level was very advanced.
Robin, worried he wouldn't understand, explained the Germa Kingdom in detail.
After listening, Luo Chen asked, "Did it cost money?"
"Of course. After you defeated Charlotte Linlin, many people came to visit one after another."
"Emperors of the Underworld, such as 'News King' Morgans."
" 'Queen of the Pleasure District' Stussy."
" 'Loan Shark King' Du Feld."
"The Germa Kingdom was one of them. They happened to be sailing in the New World, and King Vinsmoke Judge intended to get to know you."
"But since you were in seclusion, they waited for seven days and then left."
"The construction teams and designers for rebuilding Whole Cake Island were all connections found by several Underworld Emperors mobilizing their networks."
"After one's reputation grows, many things become much more convenient."
Robin sighed with emotion.
Luo Chen nodded with a smile.
With a big reputation, getting things done was indeed convenient.
He asked, "How are Perona, who was captured earlier, and the Tontatta Princess brought back from Sabaody?"
