Knock knock knock …
Just as Kuro thought the matter was stable, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Crowe spoke and a Marine entered the office, saluted them and said: "Reporting to Colonel, we have obtained the contact information of the Worm Country and have made contact."
"Oh? What did he say?" Kuro raised his eyebrows.
"Rejected!"
"Huh?"
Kuro was stunned. "The Insect Country refused?"
The Marine responded, "Yes, the relevant personnel of the Country of Insects said that the matter of the Luo Family has nothing to do with the Royal Family. They are autonomous nobles, and the Country of Insects respects the wishes of the Luo Family, so he asked us to contact the Luo Family alone and gave us the contact information."
A king can't control his nobles?
Crowe pushed up his glasses. From this point, it can be inferred that the Luo family's position in the Country of Insects is indeed advanced.
Kuro got the number from Marine and turned on the Den Den Mushi on the table, ready to make a call.
… .
Shedding Town, Luo Family's base.
Although the houses in the entire town are not uniform, in front of the highest building in the center, whether it is the second floor or the third floor, all living things are equal.
The tallest building takes up almost a third of the town, and its buildings are unusually large.
In front of the entrance was a huge door. There was no need to guard it because the entrance and exit were all there, and the door was a huge and heavy door.
Those who push open this door can enter and leave at will.
This is the Law Family's rule.
SQUEAK …
The heavy door was pushed open and Lowe walked in.
The moment he entered, he frowned and his face became serious.
"Wisa, you're back."
A few maids with cleaning tools immediately knelt down and bowed their heads respectfully.
Lowe ignored them and passed by them.
Along the way, whether it was servants or soldiers in armor, they all knelt down when they met Lowe.
For Lowe, this is normal.
In this city, other than the Luo family, there are only slaves. The purpose of their existence is to serve the Luo family.
Along the way, Lowe went straight to the top floor. Unlike the people below, there was only a deep corridor at the top floor, which was very quiet, and at the end of the corridor was a door painted with Prajna.
Just looking at it made him feel ghostly and shudder.
No one approached this place.
This is the head of the Luo Family, an existence they call 'Ancestor'. He is also the leader who led the family from the Flower Country to the Insect Country.
Be it strength or prestige, he is undoubtedly the strongest person in the Luo Family.
Lowe took a deep breath and slowly walked in.
"Lowe, you're back."
A gruff voice sounded.
Behind Lowe, a tall shadow appeared. It was a huge, muscular bald man. The muscles on his arms alone seemed to be comparable to Lowe, who was more than two meters tall.
Lowe didn't even look at the back and his face was calm. "Why can't I come back to my own home? Don't bother me, Lowe, I'm not in a good mood now."
The giant man named Luo Shan clenched his fists and grinned. "When you came back, you were alone, right? You didn't even have any clothes. It seems that not only did you not get anything, but you also lost your boat."
"You failed, Lowe!"
Luo Shan's face floated up and formed a twisted smile. "You, who failed, are not qualified to be the strongest in the family!"
"I repeat, stay away from me, Lo Shan." Lowe's voice gradually became cold.
"Hey!"
Whoosh!
With Lo Shan's sneer, a strong wind came from the back of Lowe's head.
Lowe bent his legs slightly and lowered his head. A thick arm swung over his head.
His elbow was stained with a layer of darkness. He leaned back and his elbow hit Luo Shan's abdomen in an instant.
"After going out to sea, is my head not clear? My defense is the strongest!"
A layer of black light appeared on Luo Shan's abdomen. It was Armament Haki!
Bang!
His elbow hit Luo Shan's abdomen, and Luo Shan looked down indifferently, "I told you, I am a defense… pfft!"
Before he could finish, his eyes rolled back, his mouth opened, and saliva sprayed out.
"No, it's impossible! It's just a blow… Why does it have such a strong piercing ability?"
Luo Shan held his abdomen and his body swayed as he stared at Lowe in horror.
"I just learned it."
Lowe turned his head with contempt in his eyes. "Marine Rokushiki power, don't you understand?"
"How can it be fixed!"
That contempt angered Luo Shan. He put his hands together, dyed them with Armament Haki, and hammered down from above.
Lowe turned his body to the side and dodged the hammer strike. His legs were pulled up fiercely, forming a 180-degree angle with his standing feet, and the tip of his feet was under Lowe's chin.
Bang!
With just one kick, Luo Shan's head tilted up and blood burst out from between his teeth.
"You bastard!"
Luo Shan gritted his teeth and his forehead was dyed with a thick layer of Armament Haki as he hit Lowe below.
"Dragon Impact!"
Whoosh!
Lowe disappeared on the spot and jumped directly to the side of Luo Shan's head. His legs were like swords as he stabbed towards Luo Shan's neck and kicked him to the side.
At the same time, he reached out with one hand and grabbed Luo Shan's finger. He pulled hard and the staggering figure went straight to Lowe.
Bang bang bang!
Lowe wrapped his feet in Armament Haki and quickly hit his neck a few times. Then, he let go of Luo Shan's thick fingers, stretched out his fingers, pressed his face, and slammed it against the wall of the corridor.
Bang!!!
The hard steel wall was dented by this blow.
"Go back and practice, my 'cousin'."
Lowe landed on the ground and turned to walk deeper into the corridor without looking.
Behind him, the huge man slowly slid down against the wall.
As he approached, the Prajna on the door seemed to come alive. In Lowe's view, blood gradually flowed out of the statue of the Prajna. The power and horror made Lowe take a deep breath.
He reached out and was about to approach the door when it slowly opened.
Lowe paused, adjusted his pants to make them look neat, and walked in.
Inside the door was a stone room. It was unusually simple and had not even been completely polished. In the center, there was a stone bed with armrests on both sides of the bed, which could also be used as a seat.
Lowe looked at the bed and knelt on one knee. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Ancestor…"
On the bed sat a thin figure. His white hair almost covered his face, making some people envious.
Only between the gaps of the hair can be seen a mouth smiling and revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
He was wearing tattered linen clothes and his bare feet were pressed against the ground. His arms and ankles looked very thin, and the nails of his five fingers were unusually sharp, like that of a demon beast.
"Oh… Lowe."
Unlike his appearance, his voice was very gentle, like a youth.
This is the head of the Luo family, Hero Luo.
"What's going on with this body? Hmm… Is there any injury that hasn't healed? Did he encounter a strong enemy?"
Lowe lowered his head even more and said respectfully, "Yes, I met Lucilu Kuro and I am not his opponent."
"The Marine who is rumored to have gotten the power of Shiki?"
Luoshen's fingers moved, "To be able to defeat you, it seems that Marine got a good blood."
"Sorry, Ancestor."
Lowe said, "I will win and not embarrass the Lowe family."
"Hehehehe, I admire your courage to not be afraid of the strong in the world. Yes, keep this courage so that you won't stop. But this courage can't fail a second time, little Lowe."
Although Luoshen's words were soft, they entered Lowe's ears and made him sweat.
"Yes, I will not abandon the honor of the Luo Family!" Lowe said firmly.
"It's good that you understand. Go down and recuperate. This time you failed, forget it."
"Rustle, rustle, rustle…"
Luoshen waved her hand and was about to ask Lowe to leave when the Den Den Mushi beside the armrest suddenly rang.
His arm paused and he took the Den Den Mushi and put the microphone to his mouth.
The appearance of the Den Den Mushi gradually changed, forming a lazy appearance with dead fish eyes and a cigar in its mouth.
"Moximossi, Mossimossi, can you hear me? This is Marine Captain, Luciru Kuro."
Hearing Den Den Mushi's voice, Lowe raised his head in surprise and stared at Den Den Mushi.
"Oh? Colonel? What's the matter?" Hero Luo approached the microphone and said slowly.
"It's like this, your descendant, may be a granddaughter or a great-granddaughter, Lolita…"
"It's Leda, idiot!"
There was a crisp voice on the Den Den Mushi side.
"Isn't this to make it easier to distinguish? Who can know about Leda? Okay, okay, I'll negotiate."
The Den Den Mushi was noisy for a while, then Kuro's voice continued.
"It's that, your descendant has become a Marine. I heard that your family has a strange tradition. If you don't go home, you will starve, but your descendant is an adult and has the right to choose. So, I hope that you can give me, Luciru Kuro, face and untie this tradition for your descendant and let her be a Marine."
These words made Lowe's pupils contract and he gritted his teeth.
I can't say such things!
This will let the Patriarch know that Loretta is still alive!
With the Patriarch's temperament…
Hero Luo paused for a while and chuckled. "Lolita… Is there such a person? Forget it, okay."
"Oh? So polite? I thought it would be difficult for you to talk. After all, the king of your country has to give you face. Then it's settled. I will go over now as a guest, please." Kuro made a relaxed sound.
"You do it."
The corner of Luoshen's mouth opened, revealing a ferocious smile, "As long as you win the championship in the Martial Arts Conference, I will satisfy your request. Come, Luciru Kuro."
Click.
The call was hung up.
After a moment of silence, Hero Luo suddenly laughed out loud. "Hehehe, hahahaha! A Marine with my bloodline? Lowe, you must win this time."
Lowe swallowed his saliva and lowered his head, not daring to look at the gaze that was staring at him like a sharp blade. He said, "Yes, I will defend the honor of the Lowe family again."
