Early the next morning, Luo Chen woke up.
He looked at the fair white leg pressing down on him and gently moved it aside.
The cool and tender touch made Luo Chen's heart sway, and he said to himself inwardly:
'Get up and do serious business. I must perform the Impure World Reincarnation today.'
Luo Chen sat up, but his movement disturbed Hancock.
A fair, slender hand grabbed Luo Chen's arm, and the Empress's soft, fragrant body hugged him from behind like a beautiful snake.
"Stay with this concubine for one more day, okay?"
Hancock exhaled like an orchid, tickling Luo Chen's ear.
He sat silently for a moment, then slowly lay back on the bed.
"Waiting one more day isn't impossible," Luo Chen comforted himself.
The materials for Impure World Reincarnation were all complete.
He could let Bullet and the others catch pirates for another day.
As for the possibility of a sudden attack by the World Government, it wasn't high.
With Aokiji as an insider, Luo Chen would definitely receive news in advance.
"This concubine will cook for you again today." Seeing him lie down, Hancock smiled brightly and charmingly, saying shyly, "There are no outsiders in the house, so... I'll only wear an apron."
Without a second word, Luo Chen lifted the covers, and the bed shook.
...
After enjoying the Empress's care for a full day and night, he finally left the palace.
However, Nami and Kalifa sent messages one after another, saying they had important matters to discuss.
"This is somewhat of a waste of time."
"Running back and forth."
"I have to find a way to make them live together."
Luo Chen sighed.
He first went to find Robin and ordered her to have Bullet and the others continue capturing pirates.
He would need them in a few days.
Then he went to Nami's room.
After accompanying her for the day, that night, Luo Chen went to Kalifa's office.
Luo Chen wasn't too gentle with Kalifa.
The other party's identity and stance belonged to the enemy.
Kalifa's body was also much more resilient than Nami's.
While he and Kalifa got to know each other thoroughly in the office, Robin, who was still working late next door, covered her ears in anger.
She spat softly, her face slightly red.
"The room has already been soundproofed, yet your voices can still come through."
"Kalifa is really too..."
Robin's excellent upbringing prevented her from speaking her true thoughts.
She simply controlled the Flower-Flower Fruit ability to grow two small hands beside her ears to cover them.
Kalifa's high-pitched, passionate voice diminished a lot.
But immediately, a muffled bang came from the wall in front, as if something in the next room had hit the wall.
While Robin was stunned, the muffled sounds of impact continued, and the wall plaster that hadn't been painted long ago shook and fell.
Her face burning, gritting her silver teeth, she activated the Flower-Flower Fruit ability.
...
Next door in the office.
Luo Chen was being dazzled by two blinding white lights.
On the wall beside Kalifa's slender waist, a small pair of rosy red lips appeared.
The rosy lips opened and closed, emitting Robin's voice, which sounded calm but was actually slightly tight.
"You guys... keep the noise down. Don't collapse the house."
As the words fell, the rosy lips vanished immediately.
Luo Chen and Kalifa looked at each other and silently reduced the amplitude of their movements.
Indeed, if the house collapsed, they would definitely be mocked by Robin.
The night passed, and the next day dawned.
Luo Chen walked out of Kalifa's office.
In the room next door, Robin also happened to walk out, her face full of fatigue and dark circles under her eyes.
"Captain, if you're going to sleep, can you go back to the palace?"
"Don't do it in the Heaven Meteor Pavilion; I still have to work overtime."
Robin said grumpily.
She really hadn't slept all night last night.
The voices next door, sometimes high and sometimes low, rang out all night.
Even when she wanted to sleep in the latter half of the night, she couldn't.
Especially the strange "Hooooooo" sounds Kalifa made every so often; they made Robin so ashamed she wanted to burrow into a crack in the ground.
Luo Chen laughed. "Why didn't you go upstairs? There are so many rooms in the Heaven Meteor Pavilion."
Hearing this, the fatigue in Robin's eyes vanished instantly.
Her expression stiffened slightly, her throat rolled gently, and she turned her head away, walking away quickly without looking at Luo Chen.
That's right, why didn't I think of changing rooms last night... Robin walked very fast, almost jogging.
Her breathing was rapid, unable to understand why she hadn't thought of such a simple thing.
"I must have been thinking about too many things recently and forgot." Robin ran out of the Heaven Meteor Pavilion before breathing a sigh of relief and muttering to herself.
She definitely forgot about that option yesterday.
Wouldn't it have been solved by just changing rooms?
Really stupid... Robin patted her cheek lightly, her red lips pressed tight.
...
On the other side, Luo Chen arrived alone at the prison on the island.
The prison guards were also served by the female warriors of the Amazon Lily Kingdom.
A blonde Marguerite walked in front, leading the way for Luo Chen.
The many cells they passed were holding prisoners.
The cells were built with Seastone.
Each prisoner also wore Seastone shackles on their hands and feet.
Marguerite spoke respectfully, "In the past few days, Douglas Bullet and Shiryu have caught some more pirates."
"The number of pirates with bounties over a hundred million has reached fifteen."
"There are a total of 417 pirates with bounties under a hundred million."
She and Luo Chen arrived at the deeper part of the prison.
The prisoners in the cells here were kept in solitary confinement.
Luo Chen scanned with his eyes; he didn't find any familiar faces among the prisoners in the fifteen cells.
They belonged to characters who had never appeared in the original story, or perhaps had appeared but were unimportant.
The fifteen pirates with bounties over a hundred million all had serious injuries.
Their black and white prison uniforms were dyed red with blood.
Luo Chen smiled. "It looks similar to Impel Down."
The bar-style prison made of Seastone, the black and white prison uniforms, the dim environment.
It reminded him of his days in jail.
Marguerite smiled and nodded. "I heard the designer of this prison received the true teachings of the master architect who built Impel Down."
Luo Chen nodded, signaling that Marguerite could return to her post.
He was preparing to perform Impure World Reincarnation next.
The scene would be somewhat bloody and unsuitable for viewing.
Marguerite bowed and retreated.
Luo Chen expanded his Observation Haki to perceive the strength of these prisoners with bounties over a hundred million.
The two strongest prisoners had bounties around five hundred million.
He first arrived outside a cell.
Deep in the dark cell lay a middle-aged man with a bloodstained prison uniform and a full beard.
Sensing Luo Chen's gaze, he turned his head to look, his eyes cold.
"Fifth Emperor, Luo Chen."
"You had Douglas Bullet capture us; what do you want? To subdue us?"
"Submitting to you wouldn't be shameful, but at least send someone to treat our injuries, right?"
Luo Chen's gaze swept over the bearded middle-aged man's body.
Many of his joints were strangely twisted, and broken white bones pierced through the skin and flesh, exposed to the air.
He ignored the other party's words and used Kamui to turn his body intangible, passing through the Seastone prison bars.
This scene caused a look of shock and suspicion to appear in the eyes of the bearded middle-aged man on the ground.
He stared tightly at Luo Chen, not understanding his purpose.
In the nearby cells, any pirate who could still turn their head looked over.
What exactly did Luo Chen want to do by capturing them?
Perhaps they would find out soon.
