"Husband, a group of scholars from Ohara say they want to understand the history of Wano Country and meet with you."
"Sister Shakky has already investigated their identities. They are indeed just a group of scholars. Do you want to see them?"
Athena was also meeting scholars requesting to see Nox for the first time.
You should know that countless people want to see Nox every day. Generally, after Shakky investigates their identities, Athena sends people to contact them. They can't even see Athena, let alone Nox.
Compared to the identities of those who wanted to see Nox before, this group of scholars can be said to have the lowest status, which is why they attracted Athena's attention.
"Ohara scholars? Is there a guy named Dr. Clover among them?"
Nox asked after thinking for a moment.
"Yes, Husband, do you know them?"
Athena said in surprise.
"I've heard of them. By the way, where are they now? Let's go see them, and have someone bring out the historical books of Wano Country."
Nox said with interest.
This interest came from being interested in the original characters, but the interest was not great, he just wanted to meet them.
"They are on Venice Island. I will have someone send the historical books to Venice Island right now."
Athena said.
As they spoke, the two went to Venice Island through the power of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit.
To be honest, ever since Shakky got the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, Nox likes to pass through the Mirror World no matter where he goes.
There's no reason, it's just because it's fast!
"Dr. Clover, it's so prosperous here. Is this really a pirate-ruled area?"
Nico Olivia and many other scholars looked at the bustling streets, the people coming and going, the neatly planned streets, and the various hawkers and stallholders.
It was so prosperous, so orderly, no one dared to cause trouble here, and there were many powerful people patrolling around.
In order to pursue ancient history, they had traveled to countless places and islands, but no island or country could compare to half of Venice Island, no, not even a third!
"I said before that the World's Greatest Swordsman Nox is a wise Pirate. He is different from many Pirates."
Dr. Clover said with emotion.
They had been here for three days, which was enough time to tour the entire Venice Island. In these three days, they hadn't seen anything in Venice that they were dissatisfied with. This island was too perfect!
"You must be the scholars from Ohara. Our Captain has agreed to meet with you. Please follow me!"
Marcus, the Vice Captain of the Limitless Pirates, walked up to Dr. Clover and said.
"Oh, oh, oh, thank you for the guidance!"
Dr. Clover was stunned for a moment and then reacted, saying excitedly, he didn't expect their request to actually be granted, that legendary World's Greatest Swordsman was actually willing to see them!
Immediately, Dr. Clover immediately took Nico Olivia and the other scholars to follow Marcus's pace.
Soon, Marcus took Dr. Clover and the others to a luxurious villa on Venice Island. This was Nox's residence on Venice Island, and the style of construction was built according to the style of the villa in Nox's memory.
This style can be said to be unique in the entire One Piece world.
"The architecture here is so special!"
Nico Olivia, being a woman, was very curious about this unique architecture.
"Captain, I've brought them!"
Upon arriving at the villa hall, Marcus saw Nox sitting in the main seat.
"This is the legendary World's Greatest Swordsman, the Captain of the Limitless Pirates, Nox!"
Upon hearing this, Dr. Clover and the others' eyes all focused on Nox.
They found that the person in front of them was very young, excessively young, even much younger than he appeared in videos and newspapers.
Even just sitting here, the invisible, overbearing, and sharp aura emanating from him made them feel inferior and dare not look Nox in the eye.
"Marcus, I remember you've been with me since Sea Calendar 1481. It is now Sea Calendar 1493."
"When you first got on the ship, you were about the same level as Karoo and Kano, and you could even occasionally beat them by relying on the Mink Tribe's static electricity talent."
"Now Karoo and Kano have both become Executive Officers, and you are still the Vice Captain. Your progress is a bit slow. Why is that?"
"Is it because I gave you fewer resources than Karoo and Kano? Or is it because I didn't guide you when I was guiding Karoo and Kano?"
When he saw Marcus and Dr. Clover walk in, Nox didn't look at Dr. Clover, but instead focused his attention on Marcus.
Compared to outsiders, he cared more about the people of the Limitless Pirates, especially someone he had previously thought highly of.
"Captain, these are all my problems, it has nothing to do with you, Captain. From now on, I will definitely train hard and strive to become an Executive Officer as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing Nox's words, Marcus immediately understood. He was a slave at the time, rescued by the Captain, and joined the Limitless Pirates.
At that time, his only thought was to become stronger and repay the Captain, so his strength improved rapidly during that period.
But in recent years, as the Limitless Pirates grew stronger and stronger, he became somewhat immersed in that false glory.
Especially after returning from robbing the Celestial Dragons' treasure together in 1490, he became a little arrogant. Although he still trained, his mentality relaxed.
"Three years, I'll give you three years. I hope that after three years, your name will be on the list of Limitless Pirates Executive Officers."
Seeing Marcus's change in mentality, Nox nodded with satisfaction.
Marcus is a Mink Tribe member and also possesses the Paramecia Fluff-Fluff Fruit that Nox specially gave him, which can be said to be a perfect match for his race and can develop the power of the Mink Tribe to the extreme.
Coupled with the Limitless Pirates' medicinal baths, Gravity Homies, Battle Pyramid, and Marcus's friendship with many Executive Officers, allowing the Executive Officers to be his sparring partners.
It can be said that with this set of procedures, as long as he is not a waste, he can take off, let alone Marcus is not a waste, but a genius who can freely control the Mink Tribe's Sulong form.
"You must be the scholars from Ohara, please sit down."
After lecturing Marcus, Nox finally turned his attention to Dr. Clover and the others.
However, when he saw Nico Olivia, his eyes paused for a moment.
Her face was very beautiful, but it was a little yellow from years of wind and sun, but her white hair made him pay attention, after all, there are very few women with white hair in this World.
"Hiss!!!"
However, his gaze only lingered on Nico Olivia for a little while longer, and his waist suddenly felt a pain.
Heaven knows, his physique is already strong enough now, and even when completely relaxed, few people can hurt him.
But at this moment, Athena was directly using Busoshoku Haki to twist his skin!
"Hmph!"
Athena snorted angrily. This guy is really something. He already has their four sisters and is still not satisfied, and he still looks at other women. Doesn't he know that Sister Toki Amatsuki is about to give birth now?
"Thank you, Mr. Nox, we didn't expect to be able to meet Mr. Nox."
Dr. Clover and the others immediately began to thank Nox after hearing his words.
"Without further ado, Dr. Clover, you want the history of Wano Country. May I ask what you plan to do with it?"
Nox asked knowingly.
"Mr. Nox, we are pursuing the true history of the Blank 100 Years in the World. We heard that the history of Wano Country has been passed down for over 800 years, so we want to see if Wano Country records the events of the Blank 100 Years."
Dr. Clover said.
"I see. However, as you know, I am a Pirate and have never liked giving things away for free, nor do I like owing others anything."
"I can give you all the historical books about Wano Country, but I also want something."
Nox said.
"Mr. Nox, what do you want?"
Dr. Clover asked in confusion. It seemed that they didn't have anything that the other party would value. After all, with the other party's status, position, and strength, would he need to ask them for something he wanted?
"I heard that the Tree of Knowledge in Ohara stores the richest collection of knowledge books in the World. I also like to read books very much, so I want you to allow me to copy all the books in Ohara."
Nox said.
Knowledge is power, although this sentence is not fully applicable in this World, it is partially applicable.
The books in Ohara cover various aspects of knowledge, including medical skills, technology, shipbuilding technology, navigation technology, celestial phenomena, body art, swordsmanship, Haki Training, and so on.
It can be said to be a treasure trove of knowledge, and Nox naturally wanted to acquire it.
After all, Nox also likes to read books in his daily life now, but he only reads books related to various swordsmanship, body art, Haki Training, Devil Fruit development, etc.
With the current strength of the Limitless Pirates, they can completely occupy Ohara without the consent of Dr. Clover and the others.
But Nox has some respect for these people who are pursuing their dreams, so he made such a request.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Mr. Nox to be someone who loves knowledge as well. This is absolutely no problem!"
Dr. Clover agreed without hesitation after hearing Nox's request.
The original intention of establishing the Tree of Knowledge in Ohara was to spread this knowledge so that everyone in the World could see, understand, and pursue this knowledge.
"Alright then, I will send someone over in a while. The pile over there contains all the historical books about Wano Country. You can read them slowly here, and someone will bring you food."
After getting Dr. Clover's answer, Nox pointed to the pile of books not far away and said.
"Thank you, Mr. Nox!"
Dr. Clover now also understood that Nox was deliberately taking care of them. Although he didn't know what made the other party help them kindly, they had definitely profited this time!
Nox didn't say anything, but took Athena and left here, returning to Wano Country.
"Doctor, these are really historical books of Wano Country!"
"I didn't expect this legendary World's Greatest Swordsman to actually agree to our request!"
Nico Olivia said in surprise after flipping through the books for a while.
"A person like him would never condescend to lie. Let's quickly record all these books. We can't take the originals, they must stay."
Dr. Clover said.
Many of the books in Ohara were brought back from other places, but many of the books brought back were handwritten copies by the ancestors of Ohara, rather than the originals.
"What, still jealous?"
Nox pinched Athena's still pouting little face and teased.
"I'm not jealous at all, you big flirt!"
Athena glared at Nox angrily.
"Husband, Sister Athena, you're back!"
As soon as Nox and the others entered the door, they saw Toki Amatsuki, with her big belly, walking out.
"Sister Toki, you're already nine months pregnant, why are you still coming out? Go back and rest quickly."
Seeing Toki Amatsuki, Athena quickly stepped forward to help her.
"It's okay, Sister Athena, it's still a month before I give birth."
Toki Amatsuki said, her body wasn't that weak.
"Athena is right, you need to rest more and not disturb the fetus. Let's go, I'll help you back."
Nox also came up to help Toki Amatsuki and said carefully.
A month passed quickly. Under the care of Lesley and many other doctors, Toki Amatsuki gave birth smoothly and delivered a pair of twins.
"Husband, let's name our child."
Toki Amatsuki looked at the two little babies in her arms with a loving expression.
"Toki, you name them!"
This time, Nox didn't name his child. After all, his naming ability wasn't very good, he only copied, so this time he planned to let Toki Amatsuki name them.
"Then the older brother will be named Alucard Rhodes, and the younger sister will be named Alucard Asuna!"
Toki Amatsuki said after thinking for a while.
"Rhodes and Asuna? What great names."
Nox smiled. These names were much better than the names he could come up with when he wasn't copying.
A month later:
"Husband, we found a Gravity Island in the Calm Belt, but there are many powerful beasts on the island."
Athena came to Oni Island and found Nox.
"Gravity Island? That's great. This way, Eva's gravity multiple should be able to increase."
Nox said happily, having just finished training.
Eva's current gravity multiple and oppressive force were no longer enough to provide him with the maximum level of training. If Eva's controlled gravity multiple could be increased, then everything would be solved.
"Brother, brother, can Eva become stronger?"
Hearing Nox's words, Eva flew over happily.
"I'm not sure yet, but we'll go take a look right now."
Nox said.
"Okay, okay, let's go take a look together."
Eva smiled very happily when he heard that he could fly out of Oni Island.
Heaven knows, Eva used to help Nox Training, and most of the time he stayed on Oni Island when Nox wasn't cultivating. Only occasionally did Nox take him to other places in Wano Country, which made Eva very bored.
"By the way, Athena, where is Gravity Island?"
Nox asked.
"Husband, the Hades is ready, I'll take you to Gravity Island!"
Athena playfully stuck out her little tongue.
How could Athena miss such a rare opportunity to travel with her Husband?
Hearing this, Nox also understood that this little girl wanted to keep it to herself.
"Eva, let's go, fly towards the port!"
Nox chuckled, picked up Athena, and jumped onto Eva, throwing off the dozens of tons of weight loaded on Eva.
"Brother, hold on, let's go!"
Eva said happily.
