Chapter 113
The Empress was very troubled by this.
For this reason, she even condescended to consult the previous Empress of Amazon Lily, Elder Nyon.
Elder Nyon's gaze at that time was very strange, and she said with extreme solemnity:
"Snake Princess, I'm afraid you have fallen in love with that man!"
Love?
Even the Empress, who possessed Conqueror's Haki, was startled.
But she didn't show it, instead putting on a cold and arrogant expression.
"This concubine is the most beautiful woman in the world; how could I possibly fall in love with a mere man?"
"You old hag, how dare you insult this concubine's beauty; your crime is unforgivable!"
After saying that, the Empress Boa Hancock kicked Elder Nyon away.
Elder Nyon shouted in the air:
"Snake Princess, you must take this matter seriously; this is lovesickness! Several generations of Empresses of Amazon Lily have died from this illness!"
"Shut up, you old hag!"
The Empress was angry and ordered her two sisters.
"Go and make that old hag shut her mouth forever!"
Marigold and Sandersonia took the order and left.
But the two only scolded Elder Nyon symbolically, and at the end, they secretly asked Elder Nyon:
"Has Big Sister really contracted lovesickness and fallen in love with that Fifth Emperor, Lord Luo Xing?"
Elder Nyon was serious:
"I will never be wrong. But looking at the Snake Princess's performance, it hasn't reached the point of being incurable. You two, from now on, are not allowed to let the Snake Princess know anything about that Luo Xing!"
"That man is, after all, the Imperial Son-in-Law of the Beasts Pirates and already has a family; it's impossible for him and the Snake Princess!"
"If the Snake Princess is truly hopelessly in love, it will only harm herself!"
Marigold and Sandersonia were frightened and nodded hurriedly.
On the way back to the palace.
Marigold said: "Big Sister has basically never asked us to inquire about the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, so there shouldn't be much of a problem."
Sandersonia agreed:
"Yes, after all, back in Dressrosa, we didn't even see the true face of that Beasts Imperial Son-in-Law."
Luo Xing had been wearing the Hannya mask given by his wife Yamato at that time.
Adding a word here, Luo Xing's bounty poster photo had also been changed from the original Psyduck to the masked image because of this.
Marigold and Sandersonia didn't know that,
when their sister, the most noble Empress in the world, returned to her room,
there were two bounty posters hanging on the wall of her room.
One was Luo Xing's original Psyduck bounty poster, and the other was Luo Xing wearing the mask.
The Empress Boa Hancock stared foolishly at the two bounty posters, biting her lower lip slightly, and all kinds of complex emotions flowed in her beautiful eyes.
106. Yamato's dream, the multi-functional Cybertronian, solving the problem of having enough to eat
Luo Xing returned to Wano Country.
Zoro, who had obtained the Black Blade Shusui and finally gathered three famous swords, entered the five-times gravity room to cultivate without a moment's rest.
Luo Xing came to the Shogun's office, where his wife Yamato was handling official business.
When Yamato saw Luo Xing, her originally tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and she leaped into Luo Xing's arms.
"Husband, you're back!"
Luo Xing wrapped his arms tightly around Yamato's slender waist, his nose lingering with the wonderful fragrance that he could never get enough of.
After a while, Luo Xing said:
"Wife, sit down."
Yamato sat down obediently.
Luo Xing went behind Yamato, placed his hands on her fragrant shoulders, and began to knead them gently.
Yamato showed a comfortable expression and said with emotion: "Husband, you are so good."
Luo Xing leaned into Yamato's ear and said:
"If you think I'm good, you have to give me a massage tonight too, but not with your hands."
Yamato's pretty face flushed, and she rolled her eyes at Luo Xing, but still nodded imperceptibly.
Luo Xing was overjoyed.
Yamato's were much larger than Perona's, so it would definitely be very comfortable to massage.
Luo Xing saw that although Yamato was massaged very comfortably by him, there was still a lingering trace of sorrow between her brows.
He asked in surprise:
"Did you encounter any problems? Tell me."
Yamato sighed deeply and said:
"Husband, I increasingly find that the old me was really too naive and too childish."
"I thought that by driving away the old man and that Kurozumi Orochi, and letting the Kozuki family regain power, Wano Country would gain happiness."
"But in the few months since I became the Shogun of Wano, I've found that things are far from that simple."
"Wano Country's barren soil and terrible economic situation mean that even without Kurozumi Orochi's exploitation, the people still find it hard to have enough to eat."
What Yamato said was the truth; Wano Country was too poor, poor in every aspect.
The people were poor, the land was poor, and the economy was poor.
And these problems were not caused by Kaido or Orochi; they were problems that had existed in Wano Country for hundreds of years.
The rule of the Kozuki family did not bring true happiness to Wano Country; it was nothing more than barely being able to survive.
Including the policy of isolation, it was also formulated by the Kozuki family.
Kozuki Oden, the only one with the strength and possibility to improve Wano Country's situation, was a complete fool with no political or livelihood sense.
His defeat and tragedy could only be described as self-inflicted.
Luo Xing had long been aware of these things and said:
"Wife, then what do you want?"
Yamato said firmly: "I want to create a world where everyone can have enough to eat!"
Luo Xing raised his eyebrows slightly.
If he remembered correctly, Monkey D. Luffy, who awakened the Nika form in the original work, said similar words when he defeated Kaido.
It's just that Luffy said he wanted his friends to have enough to eat; the realm was not on the same level as Yamato's "everyone."
Luo Xing smiled:
"Wife, your dream is truly great, but it's still too far away to realize. Let's start from Wano Country under our feet."
Yamato turned around happily, her beautiful eyes looking at Luo Xing like shining jewels:
"Husband, are you going to help me?"
Luo Xing scraped Yamato's nose: "You are my wife; if I don't help you, who would I help?"
Yamato jumped up excitedly, her long, slender legs wrapped around Luo Xing's waist, and her two jade-like arms hooked around Luo Xing's neck.
"Husband, you are really too good!"
Luo Xing's kindness was always marked with a price tag.
Yamato's massage that night used all her strength, and her arms and legs were sore.
Luo Xing walked into the laboratory early the next morning.
In the laboratory, there was still a Cybertronian standing there.
Cybertronians were mechanical lifeforms with high intelligence, flexible and agile; Luo Xing specially kept one to help him.
Luo Xing asked the Cybertronian to bring him grain seeds.
How to let the people of Wano Country have enough to eat?
Luo Xing's previous approach was to buy grain from the outside world.
But this method was unsustainable and very expensive.
Luo Xing planned to improve the grain seeds, learning from a certain great man in his previous life, to create super seeds with a yield of a thousand catties per mu.
