After completing the King of Biceps serum, Luo Xing produced several more Anywhere Doors.
The primary purpose of these doors was battlefield logistics—allowing rapid troop deployment between war bases, catching the Navy and the World Government completely off guard.
Accordingly, Luo Xing installed doors in Dressrosa and Punk Hazard, entrusting them to King and Who's-Who respectively.
He then had Queen deliver the completed serum to Big Mom via the Anywhere Door.
As for Luo Xing himself—
He quietly slipped away to Komurasaki's private residence.
After witnessing Yamato's jealousy explode to the point where she dared to challenge Big Mom head-on, Luo Xing had grown far more cautious when it came to visiting other women.
Fortunately, with the Anywhere Door, traveling discreetly had become effortless.
At this moment—
Inside Komurasaki's room, she sat before her vanity mirror, carefully drawing her brows.
She had always loved dressing up, taking great care to present herself beautifully.
Perhaps it was a habit left over from her days as an oiran—but even now, confined to this residence, she never neglected her makeup.
Her beauty was already breathtaking. With careful adornment, she looked almost ethereal.
Especially after consuming the Slip-Slip Fruit, her skin had become unbelievably smooth—so flawless that few in the world could compare.
Yet once, she had dressed up to deceive Orochi, to serve as a spy.
Now…
Who was she dressing up for?
Komurasaki felt unsettled. She didn't want to admit it.
But deep down, she already knew the answer.
At some point, she had fallen for that man.
Even though he often ignored her feelings, treated her roughly, and never stopped no matter how she pleaded—
What terrified her was that she had discovered she was drawn to it.
…That word again.
He had been the one to say she had such a tendency.
"Bah!"
Komurasaki cursed softly to herself.
I don't have any strange tendencies!
But once she thought of him, her thoughts spiraled out of control.
His image filled her mind, until even her father and Kyoshiro's faces blurred into the background.
She stared at her reflection and sighed softly, her voice tinged with resentment.
"I can't stop thinking about him… and that awful man still hasn't come…"
Just then—
She caught sight of something strange in the mirror.
A door was forming behind her.
Komurasaki froze, her expression changing instantly as she spun around.
"W-What is that—?!"
Click.
The door opened.
A tall figure stepped through—broad shoulders, familiar face.
Komurasaki let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding.
…Wait, why am I relieved?!
She immediately puffed out her cheeks and pretended to be angry.
"A new invention again? Now you can meet other women without worrying about your wife finding out!"
Luo Xing stepped out of the door and pulled her into his arms without hesitation, murmuring by her ear:
"You look beautiful today. Were you waiting for me?"
Komurasaki's face flushed as she struggled lightly.
"W-Who was waiting for you?!"
She would never admit that she put on makeup every single day just in case he came.
Never.
Though her words said otherwise, Luo Xing could guess the truth.
He was genuinely glad to see this change in her.
Truth be told, the way he had taken her had not been honorable.
Luo Xing didn't want his women to hate him.
So even if the beginning was flawed, he treated them well afterward—hoping to change how they felt.
Komurasaki was responding.
As for the other one—Tashigi—that would likely be much harder.
Gentle as she was, she was stubborn to the core.
Luo Xing held Komurasaki and said calmly:
"I've been busy nonstop—war, inventions, planning. I'm exhausted. Help me relax a bit."
With the Slip-Slip Fruit, Komurasaki's entire body was incredibly smooth.
She didn't need oils or tools—just sitting or leaning against him allowed her to glide effortlessly, providing the perfect massage.
She stomped her foot.
"No! I'm not massaging a villain like you! You should just collapse from exhaustion!"
Her refusal was firm—
Yet her movements were anything but.
From morning until mid-afternoon, Luo Xing felt completely refreshed, all fatigue swept away.
Meanwhile, Komurasaki couldn't even lift a finger.
Luo Xing gently covered her with a thin blanket and said softly:
"Rest well. I'll come see you again."
She turned her head away with a huff, eyes filled with faint resentment.
Luo Xing smiled, opened the Anywhere Door, and left.
He didn't return to the shogunate immediately.
His body still carried Komurasaki's fragrance—Yamato would notice instantly.
He needed time to let it fade.
Perfect timing.
It was time to visit Udon Prison and check on Enel and Trafalgar Law.
He brought Carrot along.
The last full moon hadn't been long ago, so she couldn't enter Sulong yet—something Luo Xing found slightly regrettable.
He quite liked her cool aura and graceful figure in that state.
"Master~"
Carrot greeted sweetly, dressed as a proper little maid, her fluffy tail swaying behind her, long rabbit ears twitching.
Luo Xing loved teasing those ears and tail whenever he had the chance.
They arrived at Udon Prison.
Under the warden's escort, the first person they met was Enel.
The moment Enel saw Luo Xing, he dropped to his knees.
"L-Lord Luo Xing! I'm willing! I'll serve you—be your subordinate!"
Life in Udon had broken him.
Endless forced labor just to eat, followed by a hundred brutal lashes every day.
Hell didn't even compare.
Once a self-proclaimed god of the sky, Enel had fallen to rock bottom.
After rage, despair, and hopelessness—
He finally understood.
There were only two ways out.
Death.
Or submission.
And Enel had no intention of dying.
He hadn't even reached the moon yet.
So after agonizing struggle, he made his choice.
Luo Xing smiled and personally helped him up.
"That's more like it. Gods are just illusions."
"Follow me, and you'll never go hungry."
Enel nearly wept—not from loyalty, but at the thought of soup.
He hadn't had a single sip of broth in Udon.
"Here. Eat this first."
Luo Xing tossed him a strange, purple, flesh-like mass.
Though Luo Xing was smiling, his tone left no room for refusal.
Enel swallowed nervously.
His Mantra screamed danger.
This man was far more terrifying than the black-winged one who had defeated him before.
There was no resisting.
Enel closed his eyes and swallowed the Dragon-Level Monster Cell whole.
The next instant—
A shrill scream echoed through Udon Prison.
