It is worth noting that the Straw Hat crew arrived in Wano Country, where they met with Rozen once again.
"Two of the Four Emperors are gone now. Next, you should either fight Blackbeard or go see Shanks."
Luo Zhen spoke casually to Luffy, while the future Pirate King fell into deep thought.
"You've been through some adventures lately and your strength has improved a lot, but to be absolutely sure, let's practice some more."
Although Doflamingo, Big Mom, Kaido, and the like have all been dealt with by Ryoujin, the Straw Hat crew will definitely encounter other enemies as well.
Luffy could already reliably use Gear 5, so Rōjin dragged him into a training session, where they began frantically stacking steel.
Even as Nika, the poor Straw Hat Boy was powerless to fight back, but thanks to this sparring session, he became even stronger.
It seems that beating up Blackbeard will no longer be a difficult task.
After saying goodbye to the group, Luo Zhen relaxed once again. During this time, Frederick brought an unexpected character to Luo Zhen.
"It's Yamato?"
This is Kaido's daughter, but she is an extremely filial daughter, so there is no hatred between them.
Luo Zhen looked Yamato up and down. There was no denying that this tall and voluptuous girl was indeed very beautiful, but the problem was that she was out of her mind.
“She contributed a lot during the battle against Kaido, so I decided to recruit her.”
"Don't worry, I've completely corrected her thinking."
Frederick said with a smile, patting Yamato on the shoulder. The young woman immediately knelt down and bowed to Luo Zhen.
"Is the Commander interested in her? Feel free to make a move."
Frederick is essentially telling Rozen to take Yamato directly.
"is this necessary?"
Luo Zhen's lips twitched, revealing a strange expression.
Frederick's arrangement has left Luo Zhen bewildered; the thoughts of ship girls are truly unfathomable.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the commander is happy."
A slight smile appeared on Frederick's lips.
"Are you angry? I admit it, I have been a bit of a womanizer, and I even made a move on Hiyori."
Luo Zhen was very honest and directly admitted the mistakes he had made.
"How can that be considered a mistake? If you ask me, this is how a commander should be; you did a great job."
Frederick, however, wore a satisfied smile.
"This world will soon be under the Commander's control. You can do whatever you want without any problem."
"I hope you can deeply understand this feeling of crushing and conquering everything."
"It's nothing more than flirting. The world is yours, and these women are naturally yours too."
Frederick's words stirred a surge of madness within Rozen.
Fortunately, he quickly regained his composure.
He knew Frederick wasn't angry, and she was genuinely happy with Rozen's actions.
In Frederick's eyes, everything Rozen did was an embodiment of "conquest".
She always acted like she doted on Luo Zhen, and no matter what Luo Zhen did, she thought it was all right.
Even if some problems do arise, she will help resolve them.
"Don't worry, just go when you need to. I'll handle the minor complaints from the ship girls."
This is allowing Luo Zhen to act recklessly.
So, do we really have to take over Yamato?
Luo Zhen looked at Yamato, who was lying prostrate on the ground with his head bowed and his body trembling, and sighed helplessly.
"She helped us defeat Kaido, so it's like sacrificing family for the greater good."
"She's not exactly a fighter; we could just send her to fight. Why go through all this trouble?"
Luo Zhen felt confused; he could take it down, but it didn't seem to make much sense.
"She did it voluntarily."
Frederick said, his Conqueror's Haki slightly intimidating, and Yamato's body trembled even more violently.
"Yes, Lord Luo Zhen, I did it voluntarily!"
She even raised her voice, which was trembling, showing that she was genuinely scared.
"No, Frederick, what exactly did you do to her? She was such a cheerful young woman, how did she end up like this?"
Luo Zhen found this development very strange.
“A naughty child like this who doesn’t listen to reason will be fine after a beating. If one beating isn’t enough, then a few more will do.”
Frederick stated matter-of-factly that she had completely overturned Yamato's mind through sheer force. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)
"You're beating him to death."
Luo Zhen patted Yamato's head gently, and she finally seemed to be returning to normal.
Although Kaido attacked his own daughter with great force, he ultimately didn't kill her.
Even though planting a bomb on her daughter seems cruel, Yamato still managed to live to adulthood.
Kaido even gave her an important position and placed high hopes on her.
The reason for naming him Yamato was probably with the idea that one day, after killing Kurozumi Orochi, Yamato would become the shogun.
In this way, by taking a two-pronged approach, Kaido's ambitions can be further expanded.
Of course, none of this matters, because Kaido is gone, and Yamato has even personally participated in related operations.
What a loving father and filial daughter...
Kaido would still have a trick up his sleeve, but Frederick didn't care about that.
"In short, she's in your hands now. Do whatever you want with her."
Frederick said nonchalantly.
This completely allows Luo Zhen to act as he pleases; he can make a move on any girl he fancys whenever he wants.
Of course, Luo Zhen might not do that, since he still prefers ship girls.
"Alright, since we've come this far..."
Luo Zhen has no immediate plans to launch an attack, but he should be able to bring Yamato along for future operations.
The mythical beast also has the ice attribute, which should come in handy.
From a "functional" perspective, Luo Zhen wanted to take her back to the port area to prepare for the big operation to come.
"Let them develop as they please in Wano Country. We don't have much time left; it's time to go back."
The tunnel will be temporarily closed. Luo Zhen has a premonition that the passage will be permanently solidified next time.
But the port area is still indispensable; it's our own world.
The whole world has been destroyed, and no matter what, Luo Zhen wants to see what happened.
After arranging the follow-up matters, Luo Zhen returned to the port area.
Following closely behind, they embarked on a long voyage, as Luo Zhen wanted to investigate the root of the sea monster tide.
Now that there are enough ship girls and their combat strength is strong enough, Luo Zhen believes this is the perfect opportunity.
"We are ready, it's time to go."
Bismarck's expression was serious; she had been preparing for war all this time.
Chapter 170, The Battle of the Sea Beasts
The three large ships are operating smoothly at sea, and any sea creatures they encounter will be dealt with immediately.
Helena unleashed her power, beginning to survey her surroundings, especially the activity on the seabed.
Luo Zhen led the ship girls into battle. They couldn't always be on the defensive; this time, he chose to take the initiative.
The Flying Thunder God Technique, the Shadow Kingdom Teleportation Tunnel, and the Yamato Blade—all the means to escape are ready.
If they encounter any particularly dangerous situation, they can escape immediately.
Luo Zhen needs the strength of the ship girls, but he will not put them in danger.
"It's a pity we didn't get the 'submarine' character; otherwise, we could have explored more details."
Although the little yellow chick created several submarines using its technological prowess, their quality was ultimately lacking.
Luo Zhen, on the other hand, adjusted the relevant methods and directly projected a small submarine, which could directly enter the deep sea area.
When Helena notices something unusual, Luo Zhen will arrange for a small submarine to conduct a probing search.
Typically, it simply involves finding the lair of a sea monster, which inevitably leads to a major battle.
"The sea monster nests are becoming more and more densely packed, and the number and strength of the sea monsters are also constantly increasing."
"Perhaps we are approaching what is called a 'critical area'."
Bismarck reported on the relevant work to Rōjin, who remained tense throughout.
"So, we're actually surrounded by sea monsters, right?"
This was a dangerous area, but Luo Zhen remained calm.
“That’s right. If all the sea creatures around us attack us, the situation will be very bad.”
Bismarck continued his report, a few drops of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
"In fact, according to observations from carrier-based aircraft, some sea creatures have already carried out such operations."
"They are indeed intelligent; they sensed our approach and immediately took action."
Bismarck has already conveyed the message, and all the ship girls are on high alert, waiting to break through the current predicament.
"They're holding back, probably waiting for us to get deeper into the territory before they suddenly attack."
Luo Zhen gripped the Yama Blade tightly, stepped out of the cabin, and gazed at the gathering dark clouds in the distance.
A storm was brewing, and the sea creatures began their attack.
With the large ship as their support, the ship girls easily annihilated these fools who were oblivious to their own mortality.
Having a large ship is like having a cover to hide at sea for ship girls.
The three ships are what's visible; in fact, there are more than a dozen more hidden within the Shadow Kingdom.
These were all projected by Luo Zhen with great effort; of course, some of them were also created with considerable resources.
Several more days passed at sea, during which storms never ceased, and the attacks from sea monsters were relentless.
Finally, Luo Zhen arrived at the deepest part of the danger zone.
"Is that our enemy?"
The company looked at the enormous figure ahead and wore a strange expression.
It was a huge island, but it was actually a strange "creature" whose parts that surfaced were twisted pieces of flesh and blood.
The sea monsters are already on high alert, waiting for Luo Zhen and his companions.
"The previous counter-offensives were just harassment; now the real show begins."
Luo Zhen didn't need to order an attack, because the sea monsters took action first.
“I’ll take care of that island; you all go deal with the sea monsters.”
Luo Zhen gathered immense power and launched an attack on the island of flesh and blood.
With a single slash, it was thought the island would be completely obliterated, but the seawater surged and it immediately returned to normal.
Under the sea, there is a much larger body, like an iceberg.
Only a very small portion of them surfaced.
