"Bulu bulu bulu~~"
"Bulu bulu bulu~~"
Late at night, Luo Heng's Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.
Luo Heng had not rested at this time. After answering the phone, he frowned deeply when he heard the voice coming from the other end.
"What did you say?"
"Didn't I arrange for someone to guard King Cobra? Why did it take so long for someone to disappear before I received any news?"
The person who called him was Kosha, the current governor of Alabasta.
He had just received news that King Cobra disappeared in the palace, and hurried to report to Luo Heng.
"Several agents sent to protect the king were all eliminated by unknown individuals. The surrounding kingdom guards heard nothing."
Luo Heng took a deep breath when he heard this and felt very bad.
I thought that after this round of retaliation, the World Government would calm down a bit, but I didn't expect them to take action against them again so soon.
The agents he sent to protect Cobra were all powerful figures who had been strengthened with Rokushiki and Armament Haki.
They can be killed silently without attracting anyone's attention.
Apart from the elite agents of CPO, Luo Heng couldn't think of any other force that had the power to use such means.
"I understand. You don't have to blame yourself. The people sent by the World Government are very powerful. It's my fault that I didn't expect them to take action against the old king."
"I will send stronger personnel to provide you with personal protection as soon as possible. You should also be careful yourself."
Luo Heng also comforted Kou Sha and felt a little tired.
The World Government secretly took the king of this country away as well, and I'm afraid they have further plans.
Cobra's prestige is too high both among the nobles of this country and among the people of Alabasta.
If the World Government were to use him, Alabasta would likely fall into turmoil.
However, it is still impossible to guess what the other party wants to do. We can only take it one step at a time and respond to its moves accordingly.
Luo Heng stayed awake all night in the office, dealing with a series of recent official duties.
It was not until the early morning when Robin came to see him with breakfast that he stopped working and had a break.
"Don't overwork yourself. Even if you have a strong body, it will affect your health if you keep doing this."
Nico Robin began to massage him with some heartache.
"There's no other way. Now that Weiwei is not here, such a huge mess has to be shouldered by me. If I don't work harder, this country will be in chaos." Luo Heng said with a sigh.
"If there's anything I can do, you can let me handle it. I believe I'm not much worse than Vivi." Nico Robin said confidently.
"Alright, you'll stay with me for the time being. I'll teach you how to handle Eden's affairs, big and small. It'll also be a bit of training for you."
Luo Heng felt somewhat relieved and took Robin's hand and kissed it gently, feeling very satisfied with the woman's understanding.
"Then you can't keep it secret, Mr. Crocodile." Robin smiled playfully, and was very happy about Luo Heng's arrangement.
"Bulu bulu bulu~~"
"Bulu bulu bulu~~"
At this moment, Luo Heng's Den Den Mushi made a sound again.
"Crocodile, now that your revenge is over, do you feel better now?"
An old yet powerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
Luo Heng was really surprised by this person's call. He didn't understand what else he wanted to say to him.
"I will only feel comfortable if you return Vivi and Cobra." Luo Heng said bluntly.
"Weiwei is the girl personally requested by the Supreme Lord. Even we cannot satisfy your request."
The one who spoke was none other than Saint Satan, one of the Five Elder Stars who had cornered Luo Heng not long ago and forced him to use cheats to escape.
"In that case, what else can we say?"
"Is this really what you want to see, a fight to the death?"
"You are a smart person. You must be well aware of what the final outcome would be if the World Government tried to suppress you and your forces with all its might."
"We might suffer some serious injuries, but you will be left with nothing."
There was a naked threat in Satan Saint's tone.
"So, what exactly do you want to express?" Luo Heng asked in confusion.
"We recognize your status as the Emperor of the Sea."
"And allow the sea and land within a certain range to become your sphere of influence."
"But you must promise not to overstep the line."
"Otherwise, we will have no choice but to fight each other to the death."
"Also, Princess Weiwei's safety will become uncertain."
When Luo Heng heard this, he immediately understood that the Five Elders were trying to make peace with him.
It seems that the Battle of Marineford and this retaliation action really hurt them badly.
However, he was also very clear about what the other party was planning.
It's nothing more than delaying time and giving them a chance to replenish their troops.
In the original novel, after the Battle of Marineford, the Navy soon began a large-scale recruitment campaign worldwide.
Presumably, their plan now is to wait until their troops are replenished, and then eliminate this powerful force rooted in the first half of the Grand Line in one fell swoop.
The World Government needs a chance to breathe, and Luo Heng also wants enough time to develop.
Although he has a golden finger, what he lacks most now is time and money.
When the World Government is fully prepared, his strength and the strength of his subordinates will definitely surprise everyone.
