Kalifa was annoyed at Hancock for “stealing” Luo Chen and wanted to persuade him again.

But Hancock looked at her pitifully, and Kalifa’s usually clear and cold eyes immediately became hazy, filled with adoration.

Her heart softened, and she directly agreed to Hancock’s request.

Tonight, she would give Luo Chen to the other party.

Robin watched the show from the side, smiling faintly.

Hancock’s charm was indeed too astonishing.

Even Kalifa, a World Government agent and a woman herself, couldn’t resist.

Luo Chen greeted the three women to sit down, and he also casually found a chair to sit on, asking if anything major had happened in the past twenty-odd days.

Robin thought for a moment, sorted out her thoughts, and spoke of a few things.

“Currently, the Totto Land Sea still uses the old name of Totto Land.”

“Including Whole Cake Island, which was renamed ‘Seastar Hub,’ a total of thirty-five islands have been brought under our control.”

“Seventy percent of the original Big Mom Pirates’ combat personnel have left.”

“Ninety percent of the original Totto Land island residents have left.”

“The remaining ones have all been incorporated under the gods fall Pirates’ flag.”

She found a notebook from the stack of documents on the conference table, opened it, and read, saying:

“Currently, within the Totto Land Sea, there are only over three thousand remaining original residents.”

“Of the original Big Mom Pirates’ combat personnel, only six thousand six hundred and seventeen remain.”

Luo Chen was a little surprised, “So many island residents moved away?”

The retention and departure of combat personnel were within his expectations.

But ninety percent of Totto Land’s original civilians evacuating was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Robin nodded, “These residents, like those in Whitebeard’s territory who were unwilling to submit, are worried that we will be annihilated by the World Government.”

She smiled helplessly, “The Five Elders personally mobilized to encircle and kill you at Sabaody Archipelago, which made these residents uneasy and unwilling to stay long.”

“Now, of the thirty-five islands within Totto Land, besides here, only one other island has over three thousand residents.”

“The remaining thirty-three islands have no civilians living on them.”

“They are guarded by Douglas Bullet, Enel, Shiryu, and others, as well as over six thousand six hundred surrendered combat personnel.”

Robin glanced at Empress and added:

“Douglas Bullet and his group are only seven people, each stationed on one island.”

“The remaining islands are temporarily guarded by the female warriors from Kuja Island dispatched by Hancock.”

Luo Chen listened and nodded silently.

It seemed there still weren’t enough people.

Totto Land was vast, with over thirty islands.

Previously, Linlin was so prolific that her many children were stationed on different islands.

Now, he didn’t have that many people under him, so he could only ask Hancock’s national guard warriors to help with the defense for now.

Luo Chen asked, “Has the pirate hunting operation begun? What are the results?”

In the Kamui Dimension, there were still many corpses of strong individuals that could be brought back by Impure World Reincarnation.

So before going into seclusion, he had specifically emphasized to Robin.

Once Douglas Bullet and the others settled down, they were to go out and hunt pirates.

Keep alive those with bounties over 100 million Berries; for those under 100 million, it didn't matter whether they were killed or kept alive.

Robin smiled, “The pirate hunting operation went quite smoothly. In over twenty days, thirteen pirates with bounties over 100 million were captured, the highest bounty among them reaching 500 million Berries.”

“For pirates with bounties under 100 million, but above 50 million, I also had Douglas Bullet and his group capture over three hundred people.”

“They are currently imprisoned in the Seastar Hub’s prison.”

In the New World, the one thing not lacking was pirates.

The pirate hunting operation was progressing quite smoothly.

Luo Chen stroked his chin, his eyes filled with thought.

He could perform Impure World Reincarnation now.

Shimotsuki Ryuma, Crocodile, Oars… there were quite a few strong corpses in the Kamui Dimension.

The World Government might invade at any time.

He needed to quickly establish an Impure World Reincarnation army to defend the Totto Land territory.

The territory had been taken, and reconstruction was underway. If the World Government destroyed it, Luo Chen would surely feel pained.

After all, modifying these islands cost real money.

It was wealth he had fought tooth and nail to seize from various places.

Kalifa listened from the side, her eyes flickering.

She had known about Luo Chen capturing live pirates for a long time.

But no one had told her what exactly they were used for.

When she asked Robin, Robin said she didn’t know.

When she asked Hancock and Nami, they said they didn’t care.

When she asked Luo Chen, he had been in seclusion the whole time.

“What exactly does he want to do with living people?” Kalifa wondered.

Looking at Luo Chen’s past actions, he wouldn’t do anything useless.

Capturing so many powerful pirates must have a purpose.

Moreover, it would likely cause trouble for the World Government’s subsequent attacks.

She felt it was necessary to find out clearly.

“I can only try to get it from Luo Chen, but I can’t win against Hancock…” Kalifa was utterly helpless.

She had sacrificed a lot for Luo Chen.

Knowing her looks were not as good as Hancock’s, Kalifa tried many exciting methods.

Yet, she still couldn’t capture Luo Chen’s heart.

At least, when Hancock bullied her, Luo Chen didn’t intervene.

“This scoundrel, uses and discards…” Kalifa gritted her teeth secretly, so angry she wanted to bite Luo Chen.

At this moment, Robin smiled slightly and said, “You’ve just come out of seclusion and are not yet familiar with the newly built islands. Let me show you around.”

Luo Chen nodded, told Hancock and Kalifa to go about their business, and walked out with Robin.

He guessed that Robin still had some things to say.

Due to Kalifa’s presence, she could only create an opportunity to be alone.

The two walked out of the Skyfall Pavilion.

Robin led him through the palace complex to the top of the huge, square, trapezoidal platform with sheer, cliff-like walls.

She pointed to the nine-story black stone tower behind the palace complex and smiled, “This tower is called the Stargazing Tower.”

“The spherical armillary sphere at the top of the tower is a technological radar designed by the Vinsmoke Kingdom, capable of detecting all ships within Totto Land and effectively identifying enemy ships.”

Luo Chen was stunned, Vinsmoke Kingdom?

He remembered that was the maritime nation ruled by Sanji’s family.

Their technological power was formidable; the battle suits they developed could make ordinary people invulnerable to blades and Douglas Bullets, giving them extraordinary combat capabilities.

They were also proficient in Lineage Factor technology.

Sanji and his siblings were all cyborgs modified with Lineage Factor technology.

Their strength was not inferior to the elite cadres of the Four Emperors’ crews.

The overall technological level of the kingdom was very advanced.

Robin, worried he wasn’t clear, explained the Vinsmoke Kingdom in detail.

Luo Chen listened, then asked, “Did it cost money?”

“Of course. After you defeated Charlotte Linlin, many people came to visit.”

“The Emperors of the Underworld, such as ‘Big News’ Morgans.”

“The Queen of the Pleasure District, Stussy.”

“The Loan Shark King, Du Feld.”

“The Vinsmoke Kingdom was also among them. They happened to be sailing in the New World, and King Vinsmoke Judge was interested in meeting you.”

“But because you were in seclusion, they waited for seven days and then left.”

“The construction team and designers for rebuilding Whole Cake Island were all contacts found by several Underworld Emperors through their connections.”

“Once your reputation grows, many things become much easier.”

Robin sighed.

Luo Chen smiled and nodded.

Indeed, things were much easier with a big reputation.

He asked, “What about Perona, whom we captured earlier, and the Tontatta Tribe princess brought back from Sabaody?”
