"It's fine, my Kenbunshoku Haki is always on. As long as they come back, I will definitely find them."
Saying that, Nox swept all the papers on the desk onto the floor, clearing the space on the desk.
"Hey, those are the materials for the various islands…"
Looking at Nox's rough actions, Athena couldn't help but blush and complain.
"None of that is as important as you."
Nox picked up Athena in a horizontal embrace and placed her on the desk.
An office-based push-up session thus began.
Time flew by without them noticing, until it was almost lunchtime. The five child, tired from playing outside, happily ran home to eat.
"Mama, we're back!"
The fastest to return wasn't Esdeath, the eldest sister, but Valent, the youngest brother.
At this moment, Athena was tidying up the battlefield after their exercise, the blush on her face not yet faded.
Valent's voice nearly startled Athena. Fortunately, they finished a minute earlier. If they had finished a minute later, they would have been caught by the child.
"Mama, Mama, why is your face so red?"
Valent asked innocently.
"Your Mama is too tired from work, so she's a bit out of breath, and her face is red."
"Valent, what did you guys do today? Why did you come back so early today?"
Nox walked over, picked up Valent, and asked.
"Father, we went to play with other child. We played the King's game, it was so much fun."
Valent tilted his head and thought for a while. Just as he was about to speak, Esdeath spoke first.
"Father, Father, I want a hug too!"
After saying that, Esdeath hugged Nox's thigh again, her big eyes looking at Nox longingly.
"Alright, alright, come here for a hug!"
Nox bent down and picked up Esdeath as well.
"Father, Father, I want a hug too!"
Seeing Nox holding Esdeath and Valent, Rhea, Gaenie, and Drake also ran over, vying for a hug.
"Alright, alright, one by one."
Looking at his child, Nox took them to the chair where they had just been battling, and then Nox sat down.
He placed Esdeath on his neck, Gaenie and Drake sat on his lap, and he held Valent and Rhea in his arms.
Athena watched Nox playing with the child, smiled slightly, and then had the servants bring up the food.
"Mama is back!" × 4
Subsequently, Shakky and Lesley also returned.
With Shakky's Mirror-Mirror Fruit, as long as Nox and the others didn't have urgent matters, they would return to have lunch and dinner with the child, enjoying a warm family time.
"Shakky, help me gather information on whether there are any World Government member states in the direction of the territories occupied by the Rocks Pirates Executive Officers. Pay attention to the timing of their expansion and occupation."
After finishing lunch and coaxing the child to go play, Nox began to discuss matters of the Limitless Pirates with the three women.
"I've been collecting their intelligence. Based on the current speed of expansion, the first ones to encounter World Government member states should be Shiki and John."
Shakky said.
"Okay, remind me after they meet."
Nox nodded.
"Lesley, you will also send people to govern the three non-World Government member states we recently conquered."
"Sea Transport King Umit has come to pledge allegiance to us. When the time comes, the medicines you have researched will be mass-produced and transported by them for sale."
Then Nox looked at Lesley and said.
Now, after several years of development, Lesley's Medicine-Medicine Fruit has been able to significantly enhance the effects of the original medicines.
For example, a special healing medicine: taking one pill can quickly recover from injuries, although the side effects are relatively large.
But for many people who are about to die, it is a life-saving medicine. In the face of life, who cares about side effects!
These medicines are all failed products created by Lesley during her research process; the truly successful products have not yet been manufactured.
But even so, in this World where people can die at any time, it is still a unique special healing medicine.
As long as it is sold, there will be no lack of market.
"Well, that's for the best. This way, I can expand my medicinal material Training bases."
Lesley said happily. Although Nox invested a large sum of money in her medical research, Lesley still preferred to profit from her own products and then invest in herself, rather than always taking money from Nox.
After discussing for a while, the four of them left separately. They all had their own things to be busy with now, and being able to spare time to come home for lunch and accompany the child was already a result of compressing their time.
Nox gathered all the shipwrights in the Limitless Pirates, including those sent by Sea Transport King Umit.
"How is it? Can the ship designs I proposed be completed?"
Nox asked.
"Captain, the conditions you specified can be built, but if it sails at sea, the speed will probably be very slow."
One of the shipwrights said.
After all, the condition Nox proposed was that the ship's hull alone should be four hundred to five hundred meters long.
Such a massive ship, relying solely on the current sails for propulsion, would undoubtedly be very slow.
"In that case, you should draw the blueprints first, so I can confirm the appearance."
"Then leave the design for the power system and weapon system blank for now. I will find someone to fill them in later."
Nox nodded.
He wanted to build such a huge ship because it was his, Nox's, flagship on the Sea.
If it wasn't large enough, the next time he met with other Great Pirates, his ship would be smaller than theirs, where would his face be?
Although he might not ride this ship many times, as a Pirate, he must have his own ship with a high level of prestige, otherwise how could he be worthy of his Pirate identity!
"Yes, Captain!"
Hearing Nox say this, what else could they, as shipwrights, say? They could only honestly do as Nox said.
Nox came to Oni Island in Wano Country. Many wild beasts and monsters live here, and the environment is very harsh, so no one lives there.
But Nox considered it a trial island. When the Vice Captains had free time, Nox would throw them onto this island for trials.
Defeating those monsters was their trial, but Nox requested that those monsters not be killed; there were no other requirements.
"Eva!!!"
After Nox arrived, he shouted loudly.
"Brother, Brother, you finally came to see Eva!"
At this moment, a small black mountain suddenly developed facial features and floated towards Nox.
Nox usually cultivated on Oni Island, so for convenience, he threw Eva onto Oni Island.
"Eva, 7 times gravity!"
Nox ignored the playful Eva and said directly.
"Coming, coming!"
Eva didn't say anything, and his massive body directly pressed down on Nox.
Nox raised his hands to support Eva's body, gritting his teeth and persisting in doing the simplest squats.
Eva's body was already incredibly heavy, and with seven times the gravity, even with Nox's current physique, he felt it was difficult to lift.
Not to mention, lifting it was easy, but persisting in lifting it was even more difficult!
It was like an ordinary person could easily lift forty pounds, but trying to persist in holding it for several hours was simply impossible.
Let alone persisting in holding a heavy object, even persisting in holding up one's hands for several hours would exhaust one's arms and body.
The heavy pressure and the gravity spread throughout his body quickly made Nox feel tired, but it was in this fatigue that he kept persisting.
Haki was also constantly tempering his muscles to alleviate this fatigue.
While continuously tempering his body with the [Sword God Body Tempering Art], many sword road inspirations also kept emerging, causing his sword road to continuously improve.
"Using dual Sword Intent is a bit difficult!"
Nox had been pondering how to use two Sword Intents simultaneously during this period.
This was something that no Grand Swordmaster in the entire World of Pirates had ever been able to do.
But Nox didn't think so. Just because others couldn't do it didn't mean he couldn't.
Because he had the [Sword God Body Tempering Art], he had the confidence to keep trying, and he had already touched upon the key point, just one step away!
When Nox was truly exhausted, Eva immediately removed the gravity.
Nox then came to the base on Oni Island, where a large amount of meat had already been prepared for him to recover his strength.
After finishing his body tempering, Nox picked up a specially made giant sword as large as his body.
This giant sword was the heaviest sword Nox had specially commissioned the craftsmen of Wano Country to forge, weighing a full thousand pounds!
Holding this giant sword, Nox jumped into the deep sea, submerging himself beneath the seabed, and used the pressure of the Sea to practice his sword skills.
Nox continued to Training while paying attention to the information on the Sea.
The turbulent Sea would never calm down just because one person stopped.
Sea Calendar 1485:
One year after the dissolution of the Rocks Pirates, the New World remained chaotic because the territory Rocks had once occupied was too vast.
It was so vast that even after a year of continuous occupation by the Rocks Pirates Executive Officers, they still hadn't finished occupying the territory left by Rocks.
And the Limitless Pirates, after occupying three non-World Government member states last year, did not stop their expansion even with Kingdom of Baikal, a World Government member state, blocking the way.
Anyway, Kingdom of Baikal only blocked a part of it. The Limitless Pirates continued to expand and occupy more islands from other directions without moving against Kingdom of Baikal.
As the Limitless Pirates continued to expand, even though Kingdom of Baikal was not invaded by the Limitless Pirates, it still had a bad feeling.
