Reiju's heart was more than just beating fast, it was almost beating out of her chest.
A picture appeared in her mind.
Countless armored monsters wrapped in this metal appeared on the battlefield, spewing flames in all directions.
All the enemy's attacks could not cause even the slightest damage to it.
Wherever he went, all enemies were reduced to ashes, and no one could defeat him.
In this way, my father's ideal and the glory of the Vinsmoke family may really be realized soon.
"Make your offer, Mr. Crocodile. I will convey today's observations to my father as soon as possible."
Reiju looked at Luo Heng with burning eyes.
"I need Germa to send a scientific team to work with us on the follow-up research and development."
“If there are difficult problems, your father needs to be involved.”
"Also, there's your combat suit technology."
"That's it?" Reiju widened her eyes and looked at Luo Heng in disbelief.
She originally thought that the other party would ask for exorbitant prices and propose conditions that they would find difficult to accept, but she didn't expect it to be so simple.
She seriously suspected that the man in front of her had dug a huge pit and was waiting for them to jump into it.
But she can't see it yet.
"What do you think?" Luo Heng shrugged.
"Can you give me a quiet room? I need to discuss things with my family." Reiju asked after taking a deep breath.
"Find a quiet room for Miss Reiju." Luo Heng said to the guards not far away.
Looking at Reiju's hurried steps away, Luo Heng couldn't help but smile.
"If you want to drive my chariot away, you must first tie yourself tightly to me."
"The most critical raw materials are all in my hands. The Vinsmoke family can't escape."
Reiju closed the door, sorted out her thoughts, and then called her father Judge.
"Reiju, how are you doing in Alabasta? Did Crocodile give you any trouble?" Judge asked anxiously on the other end of the phone.
Reiju couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart as she hadn't received any care from this cold-blooded father for many years.
"Father, I'm fine, so fine that I feel like I'm in a dream." Reiju said softly.
"Oh? Tell me in detail." Jiazhi said with some surprise.
Reiju told her father everything that happened after arriving in Alabasta.
Especially when talking about what he had seen and heard today, Reiju could clearly hear her father's heavy breathing on the other end of the phone, which was a bit excited.
"If all this is true, it is great news for us."
"However, if we really choose to cooperate with Crocodile, we must choose between him and the World Government."
After Jiazhi finished speaking, he fell into a long silence.
"What's your impression of Crocodile?" After a moment, Judge suddenly spoke again.
Reiju was stunned, not knowing what her father meant by asking this question.
But after thinking about it, she answered honestly:
"It's very different from what was rumored."
"He doesn't have the arrogance of a top-level expert."
"He's quite a gentleman."
"He gives me the impression of being more of a businessman."
After hearing this, Judge fell silent again.
"How about this, you stay in Eden for the time being."
"If you have the opportunity, get in touch with each other more."
"I'll contact you after I think about it."
After hanging up the phone, Reiju found Luo Heng again and conveyed Judge's thoughts.
"I understand, but I hope you won't make me wait too long."
"By the way, Miss Reiju must be hungry, right?"
"How about having lunch together?"
Reiju chuckled and said, "It's my honor."
Luo Heng arranged lunch with Reiju at the Royal Holiday Hotel.
She is a princess after all, so it would be somewhat inappropriate to take her to the cafeteria.
Perhaps influenced by her father Judge's previous problems, Reiju would secretly observe the man in front of her from time to time during the meal.
He eats a lot, but his movements are very graceful.
If she didn't know the other person's identity, she would definitely think that he was a nobleman.
From the occasional chat, one can clearly feel this man's wisdom and profound knowledge.
Any question Reiju asked would quickly receive an answer that was easy to understand and even had a hint of humor.
This was a feeling she had never experienced in that cold, machine-like family.
She soon came to like the feeling of chatting with this vicious person in the eyes of the world.
"I heard from the staff here that this city was built by you. Is that true?" Reiju asked curiously.
"I really put a lot of effort into Eden."
"But I'm mainly responsible for coming up with the ideas."
"Most of the work is actually done by my friends."
"Before this, I found it hard to imagine that you would call your subordinates 'little friends'." Reiju covered her mouth and chuckled.
“There’s no such thing as subordinates or non-subordinates. It’s just a group of people who complement each other.”
“I made them, and they made me.”
Reiju felt that the other party's idea was very rational, but not so cold-blooded as to exploit each other.
This way of getting along should be easy for everyone.
"I've seen a boy named Sanji before. Could he be from your family too?"
"Why do you think so?" A strange light flashed in Reiju's eyes.
"I don't mean to offend you, I just think your places are surprisingly similar." Luo Heng said, pointing at his eyebrows.
"Yes, he is indeed my brother."
"Due to some special reasons, I left the family at a very young age."
Reiju took a sip of the red wine in the glass and stared at the sea in the distance outside the window in a trance.
"He's a smart guy, but he almost ruined my plan not long ago." Luo Heng pretended to complain.
"Hehe, how could a fool like him possibly hinder a big shot like you?"
Reiju let out a pleasant laugh.
Although he said this, he looked a little smug on his face.
"Don't underestimate this stupid brother you mentioned."
"He and his group of friends have the ability to shine in the future." Luo Heng shook his head and said.
"You mean the Straw Hat Pirates? I didn't expect you to think so highly of them."
The two were chatting.
A man in a black suit and sunglasses suddenly came over, leaned close to Luo Heng and whispered something.
"Got it, I'll be there later."
"I'm sorry, Miss Reiju, I have something urgent to attend to. I have to excuse myself for now."
"It's okay, go ahead and do your work, I can handle it on my own."
Looking at the man's handsome figure walking away with one hand in his pocket, Reiju couldn't take her eyes off him for a long time.
"What a charming man."
"pity..."
