Bang bang bang!

Lowe wrapped his feet in Armament Haki, quickly struck Luo Shan's neck several times, then released Luo Shan's thick fingers, spread his fingers, pressed down on Luo Shan's face, and slammed him hard against the corridor wall.

Bang!!!

The hard steel wall was dented by this blow.

"Go back and practice some more, my 'cousin'."

Lowe landed on the ground, didn't even look, and turned to walk deeper into the corridor.

Behind him, the giant slid slowly down the wall.

As he approached, the Prajna statue on the door seemed to come alive. To Lowell, blood gradually flowed from the statue, and the powerful and terrifying aura made Lowell take a deep breath.

He reached out his hand, about to approach the door, when he saw the door slowly open.

Lowe paused, straightened his trousers to make them look neater, and went inside.

Inside the door was a stone chamber, extremely simple, even not yet fully finished. In the center was a stone bed with armrests on both sides, which could also be used as a chair.

Luo Wei looked at the bed, knelt on one knee, bowed his head, and said in a deep voice, "Ancestor..."

On the bed, a thin figure sat with imposing posture. His white hair almost completely covered his face, and his hair volume, which some people envied, hung down to the ground.

Only through the gaps in the hair could one see a mouth smiling, revealing a set of sharp teeth.

He was dressed in tattered hemp clothes, barefoot on the ground, his arms and ankles were very thin, and his fingernails were unusually sharp, like those of a monster.

"Oh...Lowe."

Unlike his appearance, his voice was very gentle, like that of a young man.

This is the head of the Luo family, Luo Shen.

"What happened to this outfit? Hmm... I'm still injured. Did I run into a powerful enemy?"

Upon hearing this, Lowe lowered his head even further and said respectfully, "Yes, I encountered Lucilfer Kuro, and I was no match for him."

"That Marine who supposedly obtained Shiki's power?"

Luo Shen's fingers twitched. "To be able to defeat you, it seems the Navy has obtained some good blood."

"I'm sorry, Ancestor."

Luo Wei said, "I will win and not bring shame to the Luo family."

"Hehehe, I admire your courage in not fearing the strong in the world. That's right, maintaining this kind of courage will prevent you from stopping. But you can't let this kind of courage fail a second time, little Lowe."

Although Luo Shen's words were spoken softly, they sent a chill down Luo Wei's spine.

"Yes, I will not abandon the honor of the Luo family!" Luo Wei said emphatically.

"Good that you understand. Go and rest. Let's just forget about your failure this time."

"Boom boom boom..."

Luo Shen waved her hand, about to tell Luo Wei to leave, when the Den Den Mushi next to the armrest suddenly rang.

He paused, then casually took the Den Den Mushi and put the receiver to his mouth.

The Den Den Mushi's appearance gradually changed, eventually taking on a lazy, listless shape with dead fish eyes and a cigar in its mouth.

"Moshi moshi, moshi moshi, can you hear me? This is Navy Captain Lucilfer Kuro."

Upon hearing the Den Den Mushi's voice, Lowe below looked up in surprise and stared intently at the Den Den Mushi.

"Oh? Colonel? What brings you here?" Luo Shen brought the microphone closer to herself and spoke slowly.

"It's like this, your descendant, perhaps a granddaughter or great-granddaughter, Lolita..."

"It's Lida, you idiot!"

A crisp voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Isn't this for the sake of clarity? You say Lida, but who would know? Alright, alright, I'll negotiate."

The Den Den Mushi made a lot of noise for a while, then Kuro's voice continued.

"It's about that. Your descendant has become a Marine. I've heard that your family has a strange tradition: if you don't come home, you'll go hungry. But your descendant is an adult now and has the right to choose. So, I hope you'll give me, Lucilfer Kuro, some face and break this tradition for your descendant so she can be a Marine properly."

These words made Lowe's pupils shrink and his teeth clench.

You can't say things like that!

This will let the old man know that Lolita is still alive!

Given the ancestor's temperament...

Luo Shen paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Lolita...is there such a person? Never mind, that's fine."

"Oh? So polite? I thought you were hard to talk to, after all, even your country's king has to give you face. Then it's settled, I'll go visit you now, thank you for your trouble." Kuro said in a relaxed voice.

"Come on in."

Luo Shen's lips curled into a sinister smile. "As long as you win the martial arts tournament, I will grant your request. Come on, Lucilfer Kuro."

Click.

The call was disconnected.

Luo Shen remained silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Hehehe, hahahaha! A navy man, carrying my bloodline? Luo Wei, you're going to win this time."

Luo Wei swallowed hard, lowered his head, and dared not look into the sharp, piercing gaze fixed on him. He said, "Yes, I will once again defend the honor of the Luo family."
