The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

“Yes, Hiyori is in charge of escorting that group of people ashore. She also wants to see you, but I got there first because of my age and status,” Robin said playfully.

Having not experienced a painful past, her personality is much more cheerful than originally expected.

Especially when she was with Luther, she would always reveal the innocence that had been hidden.

“Hiyori, let’s leave this to her as a test. Let her watch Law deal with these people. If she can handle it after witnessing everything firsthand, then let her return to Wano Country,” Luther said.

"Bad uncle, you've agreed to let Hiyori go back? Her management skills are pretty good now, but I don't know if she can adapt to the high pressure in Wano Country."

Robin's words still revealed her concern for Hiyori.

"We'll get used to it gradually. It's about time. We can afford to wait, but Momonosuke might not be able to."

Luther smiled knowingly.

Upon hearing this, Robin raised his handsome eyebrows slightly.

She had almost forgotten that Momonosuke was already a living dead; if another two years passed, his body would probably be completely cold by then.

If I go back at that time, I will inevitably feel a little regretful.

Suppressing his thoughts, Robin focused his bright eyes on the situation on the island.

She was curious to see if Luo, whom Luther had offered four thousand lives to recruit, was truly a remarkable person.

The stage is set; now it's up to whoever performs best...

Chapter 255 The Beginning of Revenge

Luo stood amidst the ruins of Frevans, his lips slightly pursed, gazing at the thousands of people standing in the open space ahead.

It sounds like a lot of people, but it only takes up the space of a playground to accommodate them.

"Kid, you look so conflicted. Want me to lend a hand?"

Barrett stood beside him, looking down at the large group of people who were tied up and lined up like ants.

This is just a small number of people, not even as many as he killed in Roger's pirate crew, not to mention his hellish childhood experiences.

"Hmph, I don't need you to lift a finger."

Luo tightened his grip on the samurai sword in his arms. It was a gift from Rosinante before he left, and it wasn't a good sword at all, not even a 50-grade one.

He understood what Rosinante meant; he gave him a not-so-good knife so that he wouldn't kill too many people.

Otherwise, if it were replaced with 50 workers, cutting down thousands of people would still be incredibly smooth.

Just as Luo was staring at the group of people in front of him with hatred, pondering something in his mind.

In the distance, a young girl seemed to have noticed Luo.

The girl exuded a cool and aloof aura, as sharp as ice and snow, unique and eye-catching. Her green hair flowed like a waterfall, brimming with natural vitality. Her face was flawless, as perfect as porcelain.

Without much thought, she slowly and gracefully walked towards them.

"Trafalgar D. Rodriguez, I haven't mistaken you for someone else, have I?"

The girl's voice was somewhat indifferent, but Luo could notice that she was looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"It's me. And who are you?"

Luo frowned and nodded. He knew this was one of Luther's men, but he was still very uncomfortable being looked at like an object.

His first impression of the girl in front of him was very bad.

“My name is Amatsuki Hiyori. I am responsible for bringing the person you designate to me and carrying out the execution together with you.”

Just by listening to her voice, Luo could tell that this was a cold woman, no less so than Barrett beside him.

He'll be working with these people from now on...

Thinking about this, for some reason, Luo suddenly felt a little melancholy, and even missed Rosinante a bit.

But he dismissed the thought in just a second and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He's about to execute thousands of enemies, so he's no different from this group of people.

To be honest, we're all the same kind of people.

Thinking this way, Luo's mind cleared, and his gaze towards Hiyori became more benevolent:

"I look forward to your guidance, Mr. Rihe."

"Tell me, which group of people do you want to execute first?"

Hiyori simply nodded slightly, not caring what Luo was thinking, and asked directly.

Only after completing today's tasks can Luo truly join the Don Quixote family; before that, she has no time to be nice to the examiners.

"Let's meet the royal family of Flevans first."

Luo took a deep breath and announced his decision.

"it is good!"

Without saying much, Hiyori bowed to Barrett beside her and then led the way.

Luo followed behind Hiyori with a nervous feeling.

Barrett, on the other hand, looked completely relaxed, like someone who was having a good time.

"Look, all 86 members of the Frevans royal family are here."

Hiyori led Luo to a small open space where dozens of men, women, and children were scattered about, some as old as 80 and others as young as 5.

They gathered in the open space, constantly shouting, crying, and roaring.

When they were captured, they were completely unable to resist, and they were all unconscious on the ship. At this point, they didn't even know what was going on.

After speaking, Hiyori stood coldly to the side.

She was quite curious whether Luo could really bring himself to do it.

Luo pursed her lips and slowly walked forward.

The opportunity for revenge was right in front of him, which made him feel extremely unreal.

But this is his only chance to kill his enemy, and he won't miss it!

"Professor Barrett, it's been a long time."

While Luo was still preparing himself mentally, Hiyori and Barrett bowed slightly and began to talk.

Compared to her attitude towards Law, Hiyori treated Barrett much better.

“I’ve only taught two people, so I can’t really be considered your teacher. You’re about to officially embark on the path of a strong person, aren’t you?” Barrett grinned.

He had contact with almost all of Luther's children, and even trained them for a period of time.

But of all of them, it was Hiyori who was more to his liking.

It's not that Hiyori's strength is anything special, but rather that Hiyori's ideas are very much to his liking.

Ace was Roger's son, which he disliked to begin with, and was further groomed by Luther to be a superior, which he disliked even more.

Although Yamato is intelligent, he only uses his brain when it comes to Luther; otherwise, he acts like a brute, which Yamato doesn't like.

Robin is too thoughtful, which he dislikes.

Black Mary is good, but unfortunately she worships Luther like a god and lacks the heart of a strongman, making her quite boring.

In his eyes, Sanji and Reiju were nothing special, except for their interesting cooking skills.

The only exception is Hiyori, who is somewhat similar to him back then. Both had nightmarish experiences, coupled with a belief that they only trust their own strength and abilities—this is the mark of a strong person.

Perhaps Hiyori won't become a powerful figure in terms of strength, but Barrett is absolutely certain that she can turn the New World upside down.

"If I do well in this matter, Father will allow me to go to Wano Country."

Although Hiyori's voice was cool and indifferent, her pale green eyes sparkled with ambition.

She was very grateful for Luther's guidance over the years, and for the care he had given to Tianyue. She also wholeheartedly accepted the title of 'father'.

However, her difficult childhood experiences, coupled with her life with Luther over the years, have always reminded her that only by becoming stronger and more capable can she gain more attention and obtain what she wants.

Ultimately, only one's own strength and ability truly belong to oneself.

"Wano Country... If you need help, feel free to contact me anytime."

Barrett grinned, making no attempt to hide his admiration for Hiyori.

He had always had a feeling that Hiyori was even more outstanding than she appeared, but he didn't know what Hiyori was hiding; perhaps only Luther knew.

"Okay! Thank you!"

Hiyori smiled and nodded, glancing at Luo, and said softly:

"It's started over there."

On the other side, before Luo could even reach the group, a middle-aged man spoke with utter arrogance:

"You lowly people, untie me now! Do you want to be executed?"

"Noisy!"

Upon seeing this state of affairs, Luo could no longer suppress the hatred in his eyes and quickly drew his sword.

scoff!

The middle-aged man's neck was slashed by the blade. He looked at Luo in disbelief. He wanted to say something, but a large amount of blood gushed from his neck. He could not speak and became a corpse in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing someone die, the male members of the royal family all turned grim, some even wetting their trousers, and cried out for mercy. The female members either screamed or looked at Luo in fear.

Looking at the royal family members in front of him, who were behaving so disgracefully, Luo recalled that night.

Faced with equally powerless people, Fryvanus was still cruelly destroyed.

This time, he will show no mercy either!

Chapter 256 Numbness and Perseverance

"Your Majesty, it has been a long time."

Luo slowly walked up to a man with an aged but still relatively calm face, staring at him with hatred in his eyes.
