Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

Unexpectedly, Whitebeard was furious upon hearing this:

"Marco, are you telling me to go beg Kaido? I'm Whitebeard!"

Back when Kaido was on Rocks' ship, what was he? Just an apprentice.

Upon seeing his white beard, one must respectfully address him as "senior."

Even if you asked Whitebeard to condescend to beg Kaido, he would never do it!

Whitebeard has his own dignity, a dignity that is more important than his life!

Marco was thoroughly scolded and could only lower his head in disappointment.

But in his heart he thought, if he couldn't ask Kaido of the Beasts for help, he might be able to ask Luo Xing for help.

If I had the chance to meet that Luo Xing, I would even make Marco kneel down before him.

……

The first half of the Grand Line.

Hawkeye, who was traveling to the East China Sea, also received news of the Senzu Bean.

Besides being even more curious about Luo Xing, the Prince Consort of the Hundred Beasts, the first person he thought of was the red-haired man.

To be precise, it was Shanks' lost left arm.

"If he eats the Senzu Bean, perhaps Shanks' left arm can grow back."

Hawkeye has always been curious as to why Shanks lost his left arm in the weakest region, the East Blue, which is why he is traveling to the East Blue this time.

After Shanks lost his arm, he never sparred with Shanks again.

Hawkeye was quite disappointed by this, and therefore hoped that Shanks' severed arm could grow back.

"A Senzu Bean, if I get the chance, I'll have to grab one too."

42. The Powerful Ones Who Covet the Senzu Beans (Seeking Flowers and Votes)

The red-haired pirates.

If Hawkeye could figure out that Senzu Beans could heal his captain's left arm, then it's no surprise that the members of the Red-Haired Pirates couldn't either.

Fat Lachiru chuckled:

"Captain, you don't have to be a one-armed hero anymore."

Redhead snapped, "Shut up! I've staked this left arm on the new era!"

Lachiru, munching on a chicken leg, said dismissively:

"Captain, are you referring to that brat Luffy? We don't even know if he's set sail as a pirate yet. It'll probably be several years before we know for sure in this new era."

The redhead looked helpless.

In fact, even if he didn't want to place his hopes for a new era on Luffy, he couldn't help it.

Because Luffy had already eaten the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Nika form.

Only the one who eats that fruit can become Joy Boy and ultimately overthrow the World Government.

Ben Beckman took a puff of his cigar and said:

"Latchet, don't say that. That fruit has some kind of will of its own. Since it chose Luffy, there must be a reason for it."

"Alright." Since both the captain and the first mate said so, Lachiru obediently gave in.

At this time,

Usopp's father, Yasopp the Sharpshooter, changed the subject:

"Captain Shanks, you really should try to steal a Senzu Bean if you have the chance. Losing your left arm will definitely have some impact on your strength."

Redhead could only nod helplessly.

Although the crew didn't say anything, they were secretly laughing as their left arm was bitten off by a mere king of the near sea.

Redheads never dared to tell anyone about this embarrassing incident.

Therefore, Hawkeye, Whitebeard, and others were unaware of the truth.

……

……

Located on Amazon Lily Island in the Calm Belt of the Grand Line, there is a country entirely populated by women, the famous Kingdom of Women.

The queen of the Amazon Lily is none other than Boa Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world.

As the only woman in this ocean besides Big Mom and Yamato (Luo Xing's wife) who possesses Conqueror's Haki, Boa Hancock is a proud, cold, and domineering woman.

Her pride, like her beauty, made her seem unapproachable, even causing others to feel ashamed of themselves.

however,

Few people know that behind that proud and indifferent exterior lies a fragile soul and a painful scar.

When the three Boa Hancock sisters were young, they were captured by the Celestial Dragons and enslaved!

The hoof of a Celestial Dragon can still be seen on its back!

This is a shame and painful memory that the Hancock sisters can never wash away.

But today, a piece of news made them overjoyed.

The two younger sisters, Sandasonia and Marigold, rushed to the palace, dismissed the rest of the kingdom, and exclaimed joyfully:

"Big sister, Senzu beans, Senzu beans might be able to erase the traces on our backs!"

On the throne, Empress Boa Hancock, with her red lips and cold beauty, crossed her two long, fair legs.

She was wearing a bright red cheongsam, with two gold snake earrings hanging from her ears, and her beautiful black hair cascading down to her waist.

Although Hancock's expression didn't change much, her two younger sisters, who knew her well, could see a hint of excitement flash in her eyes.

"Fairy Beans, is that another invention of Luo Xing, the Prince Consort of a Hundred Beasts?"

Hancock murmured.

She already knew about the strange cells that Luo Xing had invented.

The Empress wasn't interested because she'd heard that monster cells could make people ugly.

She didn't participate in the last conflict over the monster cells.

This time is different. If Senzu Bean is really as her two younger sisters say, then it will have great significance for her.

Empress Hancock calmly asked:

"Senzu beans, can they really heal our wounds?"

Sandasonia and Marigold said:

"This is news from the Navy. It is said that Admiral Akainu said it himself. Senzu beans can regenerate severed limbs and instantly heal all injuries. It should be true."

Boa Hancock finally stood up, moved. The faint aura of Conqueror's Haki emanating from her made her beautiful hair flutter like willow catkins.

This empress, possessing both beauty and domineering power, resolutely declared:

"We'll search for Senzu Beans at all costs, even if it means offending the Beasts Pirates!"

"Ideally, we could capture that Luo Xing and bring him to our Women's Kingdom!"

……

……

Tens of thousands of meters above the East China Sea, no one knows that an island is floating there.

This island is not a floating island, because it is not made of solidified clouds, nor is it supported by anything underneath, and it floats without any external force.

There is only one person in the entire ocean who can do this—

Shiki the Golden Lion, a legendary pirate who is on par with Whitebeard and Roger, and the only person in history to successfully escape from Impel Down, the underwater prison!

Since escaping from prison years ago, Shiki has been hiding in the sky, researching a plant ingredient called "IQ" with his subordinate scientist Indigo.

Shiki's IQ can make animals extremely ferocious, and he plans to use this to take revenge on the World Government when the time is right.

However, IQ research is progressing slowly, and Shiki is getting impatient.

As it happened, he had nothing to do today, so he caught a carrier pigeon flying in the sky and prepared to read the long-lost newspaper.

Upon seeing this, the golden lion's eyes widened immediately.

"A monster cell that can multiply one's strength?!"

"A Senzu Bean that can regenerate severed limbs?!"

The Golden Lion was shocked. Had the technology below advanced to this level?

Compared to this, the IQ he spent over a decade researching is utterly pathetic!

Golden Lion read the newspaper more carefully and learned that both of these incredible technologies were invented by a man named Luo Xing.

He was Kaido's son-in-law, who was an apprentice on Rocks' ship back then.

"Interesting, very interesting!"
