"Something terrible has happened! A group of pirates have teamed up and are about to attack us."

Vivi's eyes were filled with fear, but Luo Zhen simply pulled her down to sit. "Mei Youlin, are you thinking about empty space, Lin Zaizai, are you there...?"

"Don't be hasty, they're just a bunch of pirates."

Luo Zhen really didn't take these guys seriously.

This is a very early point on the Grand Line. Powerful pirates would probably have already gone to the New World to hunt for the One Piece.

Chapter 62, The Gathering of Pirates

Because of Luo Zhen's series of actions, Alabasta has become a complete pirate no-go zone.

The Shadow Kingdom is rapidly encroaching on another world, having already shrouded the entire desert nation. Pirates who approach it are immediately targeted.

The weaklings will be easily killed by the shadow ninjas, while the strong ones will be left to Luo Zhen.

Earning bounties was a natural consequence, and the ninjas also absorbed the dark energy from the pirates, gaining enhanced strength.

Luo Zhen has accumulated a lot of practical experience and has mastered the swordsmanship and physical skills of many people.

His title of Guardian Knight was earned through sheer hard work; he truly protected the country from pirates.

Moreover, his protective circle continues to expand.

Under such strange circumstances, how could pirates dare to launch an attack? Those pirates who had just entered the Grand Line also tried to detour and leave.

How could they possibly converge in one place and launch a fierce attack?

"For some reason, many strange stories about the Alabasta Kingdom are circulating among the pirates."

"For example, the royal family seized a large amount of Crocodile's wealth, including countless amounts of money and Devil Fruits."

"They also said that we have a lot of gold mines here, and that the royal family has huge gold reserves."

There are indeed gold mines; the little yellow chicks searched everywhere and found a great many.

When Weiwei said these words, her expression looked quite helpless. Because of the large amount of equipment purchased, it attracted the attention of others. By sending in a few people to investigate, a lot of information was leaked.

The noise from mining and oil extraction is too great to be concealed.

Moreover, Luo Zhen had no intention of hiding anything; he only needed to go with the flow, since he possessed the power.

"A mix of information was circulating, but considering that this place was off-limits to pirates, they were still hesitant to take any action."

"But then someone rallied them, and a pirate alliance was formed. They thought their big plan was about to succeed."

Vivi began to analyze the situation calmly. She had already arranged for the kingdom's army to be on alert and had even contacted the navy, hoping to quell the matter.

"The navy has replied that they will send people to provide support, and we just need to hold on for a while."

Vivi said that according to the intelligence she had gathered, the number of pirates attacking was enormous, including some with bounties exceeding 100 million. She felt a sense of worry for Luo Zhen.

"Support? Is it necessary?"

Luo Zhen raised an eyebrow; he didn't take these guys seriously.

A group of pirates, most of whom were still using wooden sailboats, could he just project an aircraft carrier and crush them?

Those who weren't crushed were further filtered out using Conqueror's Haki and the Shadow Legion, leaving at most a few dozen strong individuals.

He can just keep stacking steel pieces one after another, and the matter will be settled. He won't even need to deploy any ship girls.

He quickly went through the relevant procedures in his mind.

The only concern is whether there will be Logia-type Devil Fruit users among them, which would be quite troublesome.

Without Armament Haki, fighting would be extremely troublesome, and this is indeed a power that Luo Zhen lacks.

However, Vivi did manage to procure the Seastone weapons. Anyone with the will can find a way to get their hands on them, not to mention she's royalty.

Besides, even without Armament Haki, Ryouma has other ways to deal with Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

As long as the mysterious energy within the body is utilized, things can always proceed smoothly. Mei Youlin wants to sing, but Lin Zaizai isn't there yet...

"It's better to be cautious. I have a feeling that something is strange about this."

As Weiwei said this, she naturally took Luo Zhen's hand, and their fingers intertwined for a moment.

Such intimate gestures are already commonplace for her.

Even now, the love in her eyes as she looks at Luo Zhen is completely overflowing.

It probably won't be long before she takes the initiative to attack Luo Zhen and pins him to the ground.

After all, she was a princess, and she was still very reserved at heart.

With some time still remaining before the pirates' attack, Luo Zhen pulled Vivi along for a while.

At this moment, the place where resources converge has gradually formed a complete town. Vivi has brought in a large number of people and paid them generously to work here.

With a large population and money, many merchants naturally gathered, and before we knew it, things had turned out this way.

"This country has always been troubled by the problem of pirates because of its long coastline."

"Thanks to you, this problem is completely solved. Thank you for everything you've done for this country."

As Weiwei spoke, she tightened her grip on her hand and gently rubbed her fingers against Luo Zhen's palm.

"Whatever reward you want, I can decide and agree to it for you, and Father won't have any complaints."

Weiwei's voice gradually lowered, and her eyes began to dart around.

"Everything I've done is for you, because you're my partner, we're bound by a shared destiny."

Luo Zhen said in a serious tone that if it weren't for his partners, then the relationship between this country and him would be nothing more than a purely cooperative one, with many things being handled strictly by official business, and he would even be more domineering in his dealings with others.

But for Weiwei, he was willing to give up many benefits, and his style became gentler.

"For me..."

Vivi's voice trembled slightly.

At this moment, Luo Zhen felt that his compatibility with the desert had reached its maximum.

The desert even wanted to give him a hug.

What is going on here?

"That's right, the rest of your life belongs to me."

Luo Zhen reached out and patted her head, then let go of her hand.

Weiwei felt a surge of emotion, but Luo Zhen waved his hand and summoned a petite girl, Pinghai.

She hugged Luo Zhen, and the two looked very affectionate.

"Eh?"

The emotion remained, but Weiwei wore a confused expression.

Who is she? Why is she hugging me so tightly? And why are we even kissing?

Luo Zhen, do you prefer smaller ones?

Weiwei looked at Pinghai's muscular physique, which resembled steel plates and screws, and then at herself.

Therefore, she had been misunderstanding all along. Luo Zhen only saw her as a partner, a very pure partner, and he only wanted to be with her for life.

"This is Pinghai, my partner, and there are others besides him."

"Next, I'd like to ask Pinghai and me to practice a little."

Luo Zhen muttered to himself, realizing that they had left the town and arrived at an open area.

Weiwei stood aside watching, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she pondered some heavy matters.

“You used the ‘energy-dissipating’ technique in bed before, and now I want to try it out.”

Luo Zhen raised his fist, assuming a ready-to-attack stance.

"Oh? You want to use force dissipation to achieve continuous steel stacking? I think it should be possible. Throw a punch."

Pinghai smiled confidently, then met Luo Zhen's fist head-on.

The power of the steel heart burst forth, and Pinghai dispelled the immense force as easily as a feather.

"The number of floors has been increased, which is feasible. Let's continue."

Luo Zhen was filled with excitement; the path to becoming stronger had suddenly become much wider.

Chapter 63, Pinghai's Fast Food Moment

Luo Zhen and Ping Hai practiced for a while. Luo Zhen exerted his strength one after another with his Heart Steel, but Ping Hai neutralized it one by one. The technique of neutralizing force is indeed very interesting, and Ping Hai brought it to its extreme.

The layers of Heart Steel gradually increased, and at the same time, Luo Zhen gained a deeper understanding of the technique of dissipating energy. (The remaining text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the preceding sentences.)

Rather, it's more accurate to say that his relationship with the two ship girls, Ninghai and Pinghai, has broken through the relevant constraints, and he has already gained some martial arts enhancements from them.

Seeing Pinghai repeatedly use the technique of dissipating force, Luo Zhen gradually understood it and began to try to break it.

However, their sparring sessions mainly focused on stacking steel and familiarizing themselves with the moves.

Before long, Pinghai was drenched in sweat and panting heavily. She looked exhausted and was clearly very tired.

"Commander, I need your energy. I've trained you for so long, it's time for me to get some rewards."

Pinghai started acting cute towards Luo Zhen, and the strange combination of steel plate and screws rubbed against Luo Zhen at close range.

A faint smell of sweat wafted from her body. How could a ship girl from the world of anime smell bad? So, within this sweaty smell, there was a subtle fragrance.

Pinghai was radiating heat, and her pupils had turned into pink hearts.

How to replenish the consumed energy naturally depends on Luo Zhen's performance. If that activity is launched, Pinghai will also be able to get what he wants.

"But I'm still getting used to the finer details of the technique. Why don't you wait a little longer and be patient?"

Luo Zhen tried to greet her, hoping to stall for time.

After all, Vivi is there too, so it's better to tone it down a bit.

"No, let's hide over there. It's a newly built house, there won't be anyone there."

"We can have the main course later, but it shouldn't be a problem to have some dessert, right?"

Pinghai licked her lips; her meaning was quite clear: she intended to try the fried dough sticks and soy milk.

Luo Zhen had no choice but to follow her away.

"Weiwei, we need to take care of a few minor issues. Please wait a moment."

"Or, if you're busy, you can go back first."

Luo Zhen said, waving goodbye to Weiwei.

As they entered the small building, their figures were swallowed up by the darkness.

Before Luo Zhen could even stand properly, Ping Hai impatiently pulled down his pants.

With a "smack," it was the sound of something hitting my face, followed by a gasp.

Ever since Pinghai and Luozhen had their in-depth conversation, she could no longer suppress her feelings.

She usually appears dignified and charming, a well-behaved little sister, but when it comes to crucial moments, she will completely unleash her true self.

Luo Zhen pressed down on her head, and she began to move like a woodpecker.

His large ship entered a small harbor, and some sounds could be heard. Luo Zhen's body trembled slightly.

Only a sliver of light shone through the window to the side, allowing Luo Zhen to clearly see Ping Hai's body.

The petite ship girl was moving around energetically. The narrow room felt incredibly spacious, and her vigorous movements caused the sounds to echo.

Luo Zhen took a deep breath, and his eyes showed a great deal of relaxation.

For him, being able to relax his body and mind a little during training breaks is quite nice.

"No need to rush, you can take your time."

Luo Zhen spoke softly, reaching out to gently stroke Ping Hai's hair.
