Chapter 169

"The war against the Whitebeard Pirates, is it? Very well, I shall participate in this battle."

Hawk Eyes spoke concisely, not even glancing at that Vice Admiral, and walked toward the shore on his own.

This left the Marines staring at one another in silence.

That Vice Admiral angrily said:

"Hawk Eyes sensed our arrival long ago, yet deliberately stayed out, sitting idly by while the baboons attacked us and watching us make a fool of ourselves. He is truly despicable!"

But he could do nothing about it and could only complain a couple of times.

After all, Hawk Eyes is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the world's greatest swordsman; he is beyond what that Vice Admiral could handle.

Hawk Eyes boarded his small sailboat alone, his sharp eyes flashing with deep thought.

"The Summit War, the Five Emperors Luo Xing, and the great war you mentioned in the East Blue—what connection exists between them?"

The Calm Belt of the Grand Line, Amazon Lily.

A Navy-specialized warship could bypass the countless Sea Kings surrounding this area and reach the isolated Amazon Lily Island.

The one coming to deliver the summons to Boa Hancock, the world's most beautiful pirate and Empress of the Seven Warlords, was the Navy Headquarters elite Vice Admiral Wosuke.

He was lucky; upon arriving, he happened to encounter the Kuja Pirates returning from their voyage.

Wosuke hurriedly shouted:

"Empress Boa Hancock, this is the mandatory summons for the Seven Warlords issued by the Fleet Admiral, my lord! You must accept it!"

But Wosuke's luck was also very poor.

Because the Empress was in a bad mood at this moment, even one could say very bad.

The Empress's peerless face was shrouded in frost, and her clear, cold, and proud eyes held not a shred of emotion.

She paid no attention whatsoever to the summons Wosuke mentioned, directly clasped her hands together to form a heart shape:

"Ugly man, you defile my eyes. Sweet Sweet Wind!"

Buzz buzz buzz~

One by one, pink circles instantly pierced through the bodies of the Marine soldiers who had already been captivated by the Empress's peerless elegance.

Dozens of Marine soldiers immediately turned into dozens of stone statues.

Only Wosuke, in time, stabbed his own foot with his sword, using the pain to cover the bewitchment of the Empress's beauty.

Wosuke endured the excruciating pain, sweat beading on his forehead, and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Pirate Empress, if you do this, are you not afraid of losing the title of Seven Warlords...?"

But before he finished speaking, the proud Empress did not even look at him and walked straight into Amazon Lily.

The Empress's two younger sisters behind her, Sandersonia and Marigold, looked pitifully at Wosuke and said:

"Marines, you should leave quickly. Your luck is terrible; my lady is in a bad mood today."

Why was the Empress in a bad mood?

Clearly, this voyage yielded great gains.

No one knew the reason behind it.

Or rather, even if a few people knew the reason, they dared not speak it.

Sandersonia and Marigold were the two few who knew.

"Every time my lady goes on a voyage, she intentionally or unintentionally asks about that man's news."

"My lady even went to the New World several times, getting very close to Dressrosa."

"My lady must be hoping to meet that man..."

"Shh, speak quietly; if my lady hears you, we're done for!"

The Empress walking at the very front had actually perceived the two sisters' conversation with her Observation Haki.

Her mood grew even worse.

As Sandersonia and Marigold said, every time she went on a voyage, she indeed held the expectation of meeting that man.

But every time, that expectation was shattered.

The Empress's pride and self-esteem made it impossible for her to go begging to Dressrosa or Wano Country to find that man.

She was as beautiful as a fairy, proud to the bone.

At least until now, she had not completely indulged in the fantasy of love.

After all, she had only met Luo Xing once, had not yet seen Luo Xing's true face, and their contact was indeed too little.

The Empress, with a cold face, walked into the Wang Gong, preparing to bathe.

The Den Den Mushi hidden in her bosom suddenly rang.

The fact that the Empress hid this Den Den Mushi in this place made one realize how precious it was.

The Empress's heart pounded uncontrollably.

She ordered all the idlers in the palace to leave immediately.

Only then did she, with a trembling jade hand, take out the Den Den Mushi from her bosom that carried her body scent.

The Empress took a deep breath, connected the call, and pressed her bright red lips tightly together.

A man's clear and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Hello, is this Hancock? This is Luo Xing. I would like to ask you for a favor."

149. The Tsundere Empress, the smoke of the great war shrouds the world

When they parted after establishing the alliance agreement in Dressrosa, Luo Xing gave the Empress a Den Den Mushi.

After receiving it, the Empress began to deliberately pretend not to care, casually tossing the Den Den Mushi aside.

However,

Luo Xing's figure, however, always unconsciously appeared in her mind.

Even when dreaming at night, she dreamed of the two of them getting married and living a shameless life.

In the dream, she had no majesty of the Empress, no aloofness of the world's most beautiful woman; she was just a soft, timid little girl.

She squatted in the corner, opening her innocent, watery big eyes, gazing at the tall man approaching her step by step.

The man wore a vicious Oni mask, his face unseen, but the eyes revealed were extremely deep and domineering.

The man suddenly pounced on the weak Empress...

Waking up, Hancock was soaked through.

Just then, Granny Nyo told her she might have fallen in love.

How could the Empress's pride admit it?

She kicked Granny Nyo flying.

But afterwards, she quietly hid the Den Den Mushi Luo Xing had given her, keeping it close to her chest.

So much so that the Den Den Mushi had absorbed her sweet body fragrance.

Holding the Den Den Mushi, the Empress heard the name "Hancock" coming from the receiver; her heart nearly jumped out.

"Hancock? Hancock?"

On the other end of the line, Luo Xing, hearing no reply from the Empress, asked strangely.

The Empress took a deep breath, her tightly pressed red lips moving slightly:

"I... I am here."

Luo Xing breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought something unexpected had happened to the Empress.

Luo Xing repeated his previous words.

"Hancock, I would like to ask you for a favor."

"Good." The Empress replied.

Such a decisive and straightforward 210 reply, instead, made Luo Xing pause in surprise.

He hadn't even said what it was, and the Empress had agreed directly.

Even though the Beasts Pirates and the Kuja Pirates had secretly formed an alliance, one still could not be so unguarded.

Obviously,

the Empress agreeing so decisively could not be due to the face of the Beasts Pirates, but because of him, Luo Xing.

Luo Xing's heart was very happy.

It seemed that back in Dressrosa, his soft-approach strategy toward the Empress had taken effect.

Luo Xing had always believed that every woman was a different flower, and different women required different approaches.

Such as his doting on his wife Yamato, and his domineering attitude toward Omasa and Tashigi.
