Chapter 46: Post-War

  An hour later, having tidied up some spoils of war in the auction hall, Hobody led Monet, Vika the Small Folk, and fifty survivors from Sniper Island through the town filled with gunfire to the port of Minion Island.

  Luo had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw the large crowd of people brought by Hobodi, those big and small packages, he frowned and said: "There are too many people."

  "It's enough that the ship can be loaded. These sniper island survivors have packs of bullets and famous weapons on their backs, which is enough for me to develop for a long time."

  "You've really managed to thoroughly offend many Flemings, haven't you!" Luo didn't know how to evaluate this bandit-like behavior. From the looks of the fifty people on the other side, it was clear that nothing had been spared in the past hour - not even the auction house itself or the items on the nobles' bodies.

  "So you can rest assured, right?"

  "Alright, let them board! If the beds in my hospital hadn't been smashed by you, these people should be able to squeeze in. And this woman, I hope you can take good care of her." Luo Jie's eyes were fixed on Monet beside Hoboldy.

  "That's no trouble at all."

  After a big battle, both Hoboldy and Luo chose to rest early when they returned to Seagull Island. They were either injured or exhausted from the auction scene, but on the surface, they both pretended to be 'very healthy'. However, once they returned to their own rooms, without worrying about being stabbed in the back, they immediately fell onto the bed and started snoring loudly.

  Hobabody locked Monae in a sickbay just before sleep, while the other fifty "Sniper Island survivors" were handed over to Row's crewmen Chaki and Pegwin.

  This is currently his temporary member, but Hobody believes that with beneficial training (tempering), they all have the possibility of being sharp weapons in their hands in the future.

  The next day.

  Luo and Hobadi appeared together at the edge of a large open-air kitchen temporarily set up on the back hill of the hospital, looking at the dense crowd, chatting from time to time.

  "What exactly do you plan to do with these people? They can't stay in my hospital forever?" Luo pointed at the fifty emaciated "Sniper Island survivors" queuing up for food, his expression tinged with displeasure. This was his turf, and this bastard Harald not only destroyed his hospital but also moved in with a large group of people, making his hospital extremely crowded.

  "When are you setting sail? I mean on the Great Voyage." Hobodi didn't answer but instead asked a question.

  Luocheng pondered for a moment, recalling the powerlessness of yesterday's battle, and his face immediately darkened: "At least I need to cultivate my aura, time-wise, I estimate it will take about two years. During this period, I plan to go find the famous cultivation island in the North Sea - Babari Island. The climate on that island is constantly windy, and there are often fierce beasts similar to sea kings appearing. If I can see and learn from the aura of those beasts, I plan to cultivate there."

  Rose was unaware that after the battle yesterday, he had unknowingly expressed his purpose to Hoboldi without any worries. If it were before they first met yesterday, he would never have said such a thing.

  Hobbit's interest was piqued by Luo's words: "Gale every day? And often with ferocious beasts lurking about? You've got me interested now."

  "You should have cultivated an aura of dominance by now?" Luo asked in surprise and confusion.

  Hobbit shook his head.

  "So how did you defeat Mona of the Nature clan?" Luo continued to ask.

  "That's where I found her weakness." Hoboldi didn't specify what the weakness was, and continued: "If you hadn't let her exhaust so much physical strength, even if I had found her weakness, I wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. When she was one-on-one with me, her combat power was at most only half left, and then I quickly settled the battle!"

  "So you're still trying to control her?" Luo didn't know whether to praise this guy for his boldness or fearlessness, as he didn't even have half the strength of his opponent and yet wanted to be in charge of him - it was like a kitten trying to command a leopard.

  Hoboldi shrugged and waved his hand: "Anyway, there's the Sea Tower Stone, isn't there? Never mind that, let's get back to what you were saying about that island. I plan on sending these people to that island."

  "You're not thinking of handing all these people over to me, are you?" Luo's face showed dissatisfaction.

  "No, just temporarily help me carry it while I'm on my journey. I'll still be staying in the North Sea for 20 days, and after these people train for 20 days, I'll leave. Except for the Devil Fruit and the famous sword, I'll also leave half of those riches behind, you just need to take care of their food and check their bodies."

  "What about Mona? If you're going to leave her behind, I'm not planning on letting this time bomb live."

  "Don't worry, I'll take Monet away, she can't betray me."

  Luo Yi furrowed his brow, and began to think deeply. To be honest, Hoboldy's proposal was still very tempting to him. Those large and small bags from yesterday were worth at least 10 billion Bellis, and even if he left half of them behind, he would still have 5 billion.

  These fifty people stayed here for food and drink diagnosis, how much did they use? One billion a year is the limit, that is to say... he has four billion funds.

  All pirate ships setting sail in the future have been grounded!

  "Why? Aren't you afraid that I'll take your money, or even abduct these subordinates of yours? Although I don't understand why you would photograph them, they must have some kind of talent that attracted you, right? If I were to put these people here, wouldn't you really be worried?"

  "Of course you are... my ally..."

  "Stop joking, Harald! Do you think I'd believe such a thing? What's your real intention?" Luo's gaze was fixed tightly on Hoboldy, his pupils fluctuating constantly. This person was really incomprehensible, and he saw the shadow of the former Florentine, as well as another side, the shadow of the benefactor who had saved him.

  Hobbit locked eyes with Luo, helplessly spreading his hands: "Looks like you won't respond unless I tell the truth, huh?"

  "That's right!" Luo said loudly.

  "If one day you suddenly wake up and find that the world around you has changed. In this world, there are only a few people you know and understand. You will discover that no matter how much others trust and worship you, those few people who are evil and unforgivable can give you peace and pleasure. The survivors of Sniper Island have almost been eaten up, from today on, I'm going to go train them. Goodbye..."

  Hobadi finished speaking and turned to leave, leaving Luo standing there in a daze, pondering the specific meaning of his words. However, soon after, he discovered that this speech seemed to have nothing to do with his question at all.

  When Hobodi took the fifty survivors of Sniper Island away, Luo gazed at his back, his face filled with gloom: "How detestable, does he take me for a fool?"
