Chapter 178
After the two finished talking, Rocks no longer beat around the bush.
He immediately voiced his idea.
"Hahaha, Newgate." "Take my greetings and invite Roger to join us!" "I'm looking forward to the Rocks Pirates gaining another talented powerhouse."
Hearing Rocks' instructions, Newgate immediately agreed.
"Gurararara!" "What an interesting newcomer!"
After Newgate agreed, Rocks chatted with him for a while longer before hanging up the call himself, then began thinking about another matter.
By now, he had already obtained information about three red historical texts.
Just one more piece and he would have all four Road Poneglyphs.
The thought that the location might hold something to help him overthrow the World Government and become King of the World made his heart burn with excitement.
"Could it be in the first half of the New World?"
Muttering to himself, Rocks quickly shifted his gaze to the map of the first half of the New World.
Seeing the Navy flags marked there, Rocks couldn't help but frown.
He wasn't yet ready for a full-scale war with the Navy.
"Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer."
By now, Rocks' strength had long since changed dramatically.
His Haki had basically been tempered to the limit his body could handle.
The only thing he could still improve was his mastery of Conqueror's Haki techniques.
After this period of consolidation, Rocks had already become proficient in using Conqueror's Haki.
But he still felt that Conqueror's Haki had many more possible applications to explore.
He planned to spend some time experimenting, striving to push his strength to the absolute limit before clashing with the Navy.
Thinking of this, he immediately headed toward the training ground.
He cared deeply about power.
Central New World.
To meet this newcomer as quickly as possible, Newgate immediately took Barkin and excitedly set sail on his pirate ship toward Shiki's territory.
While the New World was in full chaos, after two months of travel, Vilin finally returned to the Totto Land sea area with Olvia and Otohime.
When he brought the floating island to hover above Cake Island, all members of the Aitrias family were immediately alerted — even Linlin, who was pregnant, stepped out of her massive castle.
When they realized it was Vilin returning, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, many of them were pregnant. They had been worried that someone might attack while the Aitrias family was at its weakest.
Seeing his family gathered in the plaza, Vilin immediately smiled and flew down from the island holding Olvia and Otohime, landing in front of them and warmly hugging each one.
Seeing Vilin return after disappearing for half a year, Rouge, Aurora, and the other women immediately threw themselves into his arms, planting passionate kisses on his cheeks.
Vilin comforted them for a long while before they reluctantly returned to their respective castles to continue their pregnancies.
"Vilin, show us that golden castle you mentioned!" "I really want to see it!"
Seeing Rouge and Aurora looking at him expectantly, Vilin immediately smiled and flew toward the floating island with them.
Floating above the floating island with Vilin, when they saw the city made entirely of gold, even with their composure, the two women couldn't help jumping out of Vilin's arms and clinging tightly to the walls of the golden city, unwilling to let go.
Seeing the two acting like money-grubbers, Vilin immediately gave each of them a playful flick on the forehead.
"Hahaha, look at you two being such money lovers!" "Are you afraid these treasures will fly away or something?"
Hearing Vilin's teasing, the two women showed no annoyance. After hugging the little treasures affectionately for a while, Aurora finally looked at Vilin in confusion.
"How are we going to transport all this gold back to Cake Island?" "If others find out, won't it bring us trouble?"
Hearing Aurora's question, Vilin immediately reached out and flicked her cute nose playfully:
"Have you forgotten? Evelyn ate the Book-Book Fruit." "Just have her store all this gold inside the world of books." "I believe with a few more trips, we can definitely transfer all this gold to our treasury."
Hearing Vilin's words, Aurora and Rouge both nodded in agreement.
Seeing so much gold for the first time, Rouge and Aurora immediately threw themselves happily into his arms.
Seeing their longing expressions, Vilin immediately understood what they wanted and led them into one of the golden palaces.
He was already very familiar with the architecture here.
During the journey, he and Olvia had explored every corner of it in every possible way.
Because they got a little too carried away, Olvia ended up unexpectedly pregnant.
After discovering she was pregnant, Olvia thought carefully.
In the end, she decided to keep the child.
Vilin naturally supported Olvia's decision fully.
He just didn't know if Robin would be a little unhappy after hearing the news.
After a passionate night, the next day, as the sun rose, Vilin energetically headed to the intelligence department.
Having been away for so long, he also wanted to know if any major events had happened in the New World recently.
In the intelligence department, Vilin gently held the intelligence minister Shakky and his second son Finnick, lying on a soft sofa chair chatting.
After being away for so long, Vilin really missed this ever-changing enchantress.
"Shakky, how does it feel to be a mother?"
Hearing Vilin's question, the smile on Shakky's pretty face instantly froze.
Even the way she looked at Vilin became resentful.
"Hmph~" "You still have the nerve to say that." "If it weren't for the sisters helping take care of things, my head would've exploded by now."
Seeing Shakky looking at him with displeasure, Vilin immediately felt a bit embarrassed and scratched his nose.
Seeing Shakky quickly calm down, Vilin took the opportunity to reach out and stroke her smooth, fair pretty face.
Watching Shakky comfortably lean into his arms, a satisfied look appeared on Vilin's face.
As if remembering something, he immediately took out a lady's crown made of pure gold from his pocket and personally placed it on her head.
Seeing Shakky wearing the crown with the aura of an empress, Vilin felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
Seeing Vilin personally place a delicate crown on her head, Shakky — wearing a purple silk nightgown — immediately took out a small mirror in surprise and carefully examined herself in it.
Looking at the shining golden crown on her head, she felt an indescribable love for it.
Seeing that Vilin had prepared a gift for her too, Shakky opened her red lips, wrapped her arms around Vilin's neck, and passionately kissed him on the cheek.
Feeling the warm touch on his cheek, Vilin also thoroughly enjoyed kissing her back.
