Seeing the teasing look in Momousagi's eyes—
Tashigi became even more embarrassed and flustered.
"I-I don't want this at all!"
"Hurry up and let go of me!"
She struggled desperately.
Her slender waist twisted unconsciously—
causing the Luo Xing pressed tightly against her from behind to feel rather comfortable.
Tashigi immediately noticed something strange.
Her pretty face instantly turned red as blood.
"Ahem..."
Luo Xing coughed lightly and said:
"If you want to twist your waist, do it later in the room."
"For now, focus on learning swordsmanship."
Tashigi's face burned like a sunset cloud.
Her beautiful eyes blazed with embarrassed fury as she glared up at Luo Xing, puffing out her pink cheeks.
"Y-you!!"
"Who wants to twist their waist?!"
"Hmph, you're absolutely awful!"
Tashigi was completely helpless against him.
She could only obediently let Luo Xing control every movement of her body hand-in-hand.
Momousagi finally couldn't hold back anymore and covered her lips while laughing.
Beside her—
Ain also smiled softly.
Luo Xing maintained a perfectly serious expression.
"Training should look like proper training."
"Watch the sword."
Holding Tashigi's hands—
he directly swung a slash toward Momousagi.
Momousagi laughed so hard her body trembled gracefully.
With a light sidestep—
she easily dodged and smiled with curved brows.
"How can anyone seriously train in such a ridiculous posture?"
But Luo Xing ignored her entirely.
He continued guiding Tashigi toward Momousagi.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
After exchanging several casual blows—
Tashigi's face turned even redder.
Meanwhile—
Momousagi was nearly laughing until she ran out of breath.
Only then did Luo Xing calmly sheath the sword and declare:
"Alright."
"Training is over."
"It's time to rest."
Momousagi rolled her beautiful eyes and replied teasingly:
"This 'rest' of yours..."
"Is it even proper?"
Of course it was proper.
Even while "resting," Luo Xing still helped the girls train.
He made Tashigi practice several extremely difficult postures—
because attacking from strange angles made sword strikes harder to predict.
He had Ain repeatedly practice her Ain Devil Fruit ability—
turning both Tashigi and Momousagi into little girls several years younger.
And finally—
he personally helped Momousagi practice her charming abilities.
The entire room quickly filled with pink mist—
making it feel almost like a heavenly paradise.
Only after receiving news from the North Blue—
that Admiral Fujitora and the Marines were about to arrive at Germa—
did Luo Xing finally prepare to leave, still somewhat unsatisfied.
Momousagi had naturally overheard the call.
Now that she had become Luo Xing's woman—
she appeared even more beautiful and enchanting than before.
Every movement she made carried a natural seductive charm.
A strand of damp hair clung to her fair forehead from sweat.
She gently exhaled, calming her uneven breathing.
Then—
stretching out her snow-white arm—
she leaned against Luo Xing's broad shoulder from behind and sighed softly:
"You're going to the North Blue to fight the Marines again?"
"But now..."
"I don't even know whether I still count as a Marine anymore."
Luo Xing turned around and pulled Momousagi into his embrace.
He wasn't the kind of man who turned cold after getting what he wanted.
Whether before or after—
he had always treated his women very well.
Luo Xing comforted her softly:
"Whether you're a Marine or a pirate..."
"Does it really matter?"
"Those identities are nothing more than external chains and symbols."
"They don't truly define who a person is."
"We only need to be ourselves."
Momousagi buried her face against the man's chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat.
That heartbeat made her feel an unprecedented sense of warmth and security.
She whispered quietly:
"Then what exactly am I now?"
Luo Xing answered with霸道 certainty:
"You're my woman."
Momousagi froze briefly—
before suddenly bursting into laughter.
Yet deep down—
she accepted that answer completely.
Because it was true.
She had already become Luo Xing's woman.
That fact could never change.
And perhaps—
watching the future of the world unfold from the perspective of Luo Xing's woman...
wasn't such a bad thing after all.
At the very least—
she would be able to witness the changing tides of the era more deeply than anyone else.
Momousagi slowly stood up from Luo Xing's embrace and smiled elegantly.
"Then, my dear husband..."
"Would you allow me to accompany you to the North Blue?"
Seeing Momousagi's attitude—
Luo Xing naturally understood that she had already truly accepted him.
And honestly—
he was delighted.
When he first captured Momousagi—
he had never expected her to willingly become his woman.
He originally thought she would resist to the very end like Tashigi.
So this development genuinely surprised him.
Luo Xing roughly understood the reason for her change.
First—
as an Admiral Candidate, Momousagi had seen far too much of the Celestial Dragons' ugliness and no longer wished to serve the World Government.
Second...
Well—
wasn't it perfectly normal for a once-in-history extraordinary man like Luo Xing to make women fall for him?
In any case—
Luo Xing was in an excellent mood and immediately agreed to her request.
Upon hearing this—
both Tashigi and Ain forced themselves upright despite their exhausted bodies and insisted on accompanying him to the North Blue as well.
Ain wished to witness the future era on behalf of her teacher Zephyr.
As for Tashigi—
there was no need to explain.
Even after being thoroughly bullied by Luo Xing earlier—
her rebellious spirit had only grown stronger.
The little girl still dreamed of returning to the Marines someday.
Though naturally—
that was impossible.
Luo Xing simply agreed to bring all three of them.
The girls still needed to bathe and change clothes.
By the time they finished preparing—
quite a while had already passed.
Calculating the timing—
Luo Xing estimated that Fujitora's fleet had likely just entered the North Blue.
The timing was perfect.
King had already assembled the Gifters stationed at Punk Hazard.
Thus—
Luo Xing no longer delayed.
He took out the Anywhere Door.
King and the others went through first.
Luo Xing remained behind with:
MomousagiTashigiand Ain.
On the opposite side of the door—
was a massive island located near the border of the North Blue.
This island had once been one of the strongest kingdoms in the North Blue.
But during the early stages of Luo Xing's conquest—
it had been crushed entirely by Germa's clone army and turned into Beasts Pirates territory.
Leading the three women through the Anywhere Door—
Luo Xing stepped onto the island.
Instantly—
Vinsmoke Judge and his four sons—
along with the tens of thousands of clone soldiers behind them—
all dropped to one knee simultaneously and shouted in unison:
"Greetings, Young Master!!"
The crowd stretched endlessly into the distance.
The unified roar of over ten thousand people was deafening.
Both Tashigi and Ain were completely stunned by the sight.
Especially Tashigi.
For a long time—
she couldn't recover from the shock.
Tashigi had always believed Luo Xing was merely a scoundrel who enjoyed bullying women.
A refined beast in gentleman's clothing.
After all—
he had never truly acted cruelly toward her.
Even when forcing or teasing her—
his attitude had always remained strangely gentle.
This was the very first time—
Tashigi truly experienced the terrifying authority hidden beneath Luo Xing's calm exterior.
A supreme majesty powerful enough to shake the world itself.
She stared blankly at the man before her.
Facing the worship of ten thousand people—
he remained utterly calm and composed.
With only a casual lift of his hand—
all ten thousand people rose simultaneously.
That overwhelming dominance and authority—
was utterly breathtaking.
At least for someone as inexperienced as Tashigi—
she had never witnessed anything like it before.
The shock it brought her was immeasurable.
Subconsciously—
Tashigi compared Luo Xing to the person she had always admired most:
Smoker.
And she unwillingly realized—
Smoker wasn't even worthy of comparing to a single finger of this man.
"So this..."
"...is what a true Emperor of the Sea looks like?"
"The Beasts Pirates that intend to change the world..."
Tashigi's emotions churned violently.
As she stared at Luo Xing's back—
her gaze gradually became absent-minded and captivated.
