Chapter 126
Ultimately, he still shook his head. It was still too early — Vilin planned to wait until Naz was six years old before training him. Or until Naz himself developed the motivation to become stronger. Let him have a happy childhood for now.
The battle between the Aitrias Pirates and the Mercenary Pirates lasted until the afternoon before finally concluding.
On the transport ship, at this moment, Vilin and Charlotte Linlin were both waiting expectantly for Hu Yue to bring the captured pirates here.
As Hu Yue's ship docked near the transport ship, Hu Yue and Hu Xue soon led their squad members and escorted hundreds of pirates onto the deck. After locking all the pirates in the cells, the crew greeted Vilin briefly before leaving and returning to the Silver Moon.
As for Hu Yue and Hu Xue, they happily wrapped their arms around Vilin's.
Vilin rubbed their soft, smooth hair and directly led Linlin toward the prison cells holding the pirates.
Entering a clean cell, Vilin saw a group of heavily wounded pirates glaring at him with hatred.
Seeing this, Vilin immediately showed a gentle smile and spoke lightly to them:
"Linlin, go ahead."
Hearing Vilin's words, Linlin directly activated her Devil Fruit ability.
"Mamama!" "Become food for the Homies!"
With a thick purple energy enveloping all the prisoners here, the pirates instantly looked on in disbelief as they saw their own bodies floating upward.
Soon they watched as Linlin reached out with one hand and grabbed them.
Under the effect of her Devil Fruit, their consciousness quickly vanished, turning into the purest soul light orbs.
Seeing these light orbs, Napoleon, Zeus, Prometheus, and Euros floating behind Vilin and Linlin all showed longing expressions.
Seeing this, Linlin directly divided the soul orbs into four portions and fed them to the four little ones.
Looking at the pirates without souls, Vilin showed no courtesy either. Countless vines shot out from his body at high speed, rapidly draining these pirates into dried husks.
Watching his and Linlin's actions, Vilin felt like they were a pair of natural-born villains.
Hu Yue and Hu Xue, seeing the fate of these pirates, showed expressions of satisfaction on their faces.
Looking at the dried corpses, Vilin controlled his plants to throw them into the sea.
After finishing all this, Vilin took the three women back to the Flying Bird.
As Vilin and the others began sweeping the second half of the New World, all the pirates in the second half of the New World panicked.
Under the pressure from Vilin and the others, they either submitted to the Rocks Pirates or were directly killed.
The most enthusiastic among them was undoubtedly Shiki — every pirate he encountered was recruited as a subordinate. If any pirate dared refuse his recruitment, they would be cut in half by one of Shiki's swords without hesitation.
With the orderly cooperation of Vilin and the others, the restless pirates entrenched in the second half of the New World were driven toward the central New World.
Black Stone Island, the new base of the Lion King Pirates.
At this moment, a lively banquet was being held here.
On a golden throne, seeing the massive amount of treasure that Sabera and the others had plundered, Lucas immediately let out happy laughter.
"Hahahahaha!" "I'm sure that bastard Rocks will be in extreme pain when he gets this news!"
Hearing Lucas' laughter, the executives and squad leaders in the hall all happily echoed him. Only Guillaume showed a worried expression in his eyes.
He knew very well that after the Rocks Pirates suffered such a huge loss, they would definitely retaliate.
This made him unable to resist reminding Lucas:
"Captain, I think we should immediately relocate our base!" "Rocks will definitely send strong fighters to hunt us down."
Hearing Guillaume's words, Lucas, who had been fantasizing about using this money to recruit more subordinates, finally came back to his senses.
After thinking about it for a while, he still rejected Guillaume's suggestion. Because he felt this place was extremely hidden.
"Uncle Guillaume, don't worry!" "This location is very secret — it won't be found so easily."
Seeing Lucas so confident, Guillaume became half-believing and half-doubting, though he still felt uneasy about this place.
Sabera, sitting next to Guillaume and devouring a suckling pig, saw that the other still looked worried. He directly used his oil-stained palm to hook Guillaume's neck and stuffed a suckling pig into his mouth.
"Hahahahaha!" "Brother, relax — nothing will happen."
Guillaume saw Sabera stuff meat into his mouth and instantly got angry, wrestling with him.
Lucas saw the atmosphere in the hall becoming even more lively. He happily raised a large bowl of wine and downed it, letting out bursts of carefree laughter.
While the Lion King Pirates were immersed in the heated atmosphere, an intelligence officer suddenly ran in from outside the hall, anxiously reporting to Lucas:
"Captain!" "The Rocks Pirates are sweeping toward our sea area!" "They'll probably arrive here in about seven days!"
Hearing this intelligence officer's words, the hall instantly fell deathly silent. Lucas, sitting on the golden throne, suddenly felt a burning pain on his face.
After receiving this news, Lucas also became vigilant. He asked the veteran left by his father:
"Uncle Guillaume, what should we do?"
Hearing Lucas' question, Guillaume immediately thought quickly.
Soon he had an idea and looked at Lucas:
"Captain, I remember Blite once invited us to join their alliance." "We can borrow their power to avenge the old captain."
Hearing Guillaume's words, Lucas fell into silence.
After some thought, he immediately made up his mind.
"Good. Notify all forces under the Lion King Pirates to begin immediate evacuation and head toward the central New World."
Seeing Lucas agree, a relieved expression appeared on Guillaume's face. He began arranging the retreat.
The Lion King Pirates quickly evacuated Black Stone Island and sailed toward the central New World.
As the Lion King Pirates withdrew, Rocks Pirates scouts also transmitted this news back.
On the Flying Bird, Vilin lay on a large lounge chair, lazily sunbathing.
With the sound of high heels clicking on the deck, Vilin saw Shakky walking over, twisting her slim waist in revealing clothes.
