Chapter 32

So he didn't pay much attention.

The banquet continued until late at night before finally ending.

Drunk, Luo Xing, supported by the little maid Garotte, headed toward the Flower Capital General's Mansion.

At the General's Mansion, Yamato, having received the news early, hurried out to welcome him.

They say a short parting makes the reunion sweeter; the couple hadn't seen each other for a few days, truly feeling as if they had been apart for three autumns.

Luo Xing and Yamato embraced tightly.

At their feet, a tiny figure cried out, "Big brother, I want a hug too, a hug!"

If it isn't the little girl A-Yu, then who else could it be?

Luo Xing lifted A-Yu onto his shoulder, pinched her chubby little face, and said with a smile:

"A-Yu, this time your sticky rice balls have earned Great Merit."

Yamato watched with a smile from the side, when suddenly she noticed someone following behind Luo Xing.

Snow-white fur, a slender figure; it was actually a Fur-Clan girl.

Yamato's expression changed slightly; she asked as if casually, "Husband, who is this?"

"Oh, her? Her name is Garotte. Since she made a small mistake, I punished her by making her my temporary maid."

Luo Xing, feigning a surge of drunkenness, said carelessly.

His eyes, meanwhile, quietly observed Yamato's expression.

Yamato seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and complained, "If you want a maid, the General's Mansion has plenty; why go looking outside?"

Luo Xing laughed it off, stepped forward to embrace Yamato's soft, slender waist, and brushed it aside, saying:

"Hmm, it's all the same anyway... It's getting late; let's rest quickly!"

Saying such things under everyone's gaze made Yamato's face turn red; she spat, "You villain!"

Luo Xing waved for Garotte, A-Yu, and the others to leave, then carried his wife Yamato into the room himself.

On the surface, he appeared completely unchanged, but inwardly he felt a bit of a headache.

Just now.

He had actually used Garotte to test whether Yamato minded him having other women.

Although the result of the test was already within Luo Xing's expectations, the fact that Yamato was so jealous even over a small maid like Garotte still made him unable to help but sigh deeply.

It seems the matter of Little Purple absolutely cannot be let known to his wife Yamato.

New World.

Somewhere in a vast sea area.

A luxurious Navy warship was moving slowly.

This warship was heavily guarded, with Marine soldiers stationed all around.

On the deck, dozens more Marine soldiers stood holding guns.

With such military strength, one might think the Navy was going to crush some great pirate.

However, the mission of this warship was far more significant than crushing any pirate.

Because,

aboard it were the Tribute Golds from several nations, dedicated to the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons!

Several miles away from this warship, on the sea surface, there was another ship.

Judging by the skull-and-crossbones flag fluttering on its mast, it was actually a pirate ship of the Beasts Pirates.

"J... Jack, my lord!"

A small lackey holding a telescope suddenly jumped down from the crow's nest in a panic.

Drought Jack, with his massive body standing on the deck like a small mountain, roared in a gloomy voice:

"What are you panicking about? Are there many Navy troops?"

The little lackey trembled, "N... not many, only a few dozen."

"A few dozen and you panic like this, what is this display!" Jack scolded angrily.

That little lackey, with a mournful face, said grievously:

"This humble one isn't afraid of those few dozen Marines, but there is someone on board, it seems to be... it seems to be..."

"Who is it?"

"It seems to be Navy Admiral Akainu!"

"What?!"

Jack's eyes suddenly widened.

His subordinates were even more shocked, their jaws dropping, panicking and shouting:

"Has the Navy gone mad, sending a top-tier combatant Admiral to protect the Tribute Golds!"

"And it's Admiral Akainu; that guy is a Magma-Magma Fruit user; touch him and you die!"

"Let's just go; we won't raid this time; facing Akainu is too dangerous!"

Hearing the fearful, cowering voices around him, Jack's two eyes opened even wider, with bloodshot veins faintly appearing on his eyeballs.

His fists clenched tightly, and he suddenly let out a furious roar:

"What are you afraid of! Who do you think I am!"

"I am Drought Jack!"

"Get the ship to move over!"

"My Lord Jack, that is Admiral Akainu of the Navy!"

His subordinates hurriedly urged:

"Compared to the other two Admirals of the Navy, Akainu is the most radical; we will lose our lives!"

Jack's ox-like eyes glared over; beneath his iron mask, a gloomy killing intent surfaced on his face as he spoke in a chilling voice:

"You bunch of bastards, are you looking down on me? I'll say it again: get the damn ship close to them immediately!"

Jack was very angry.

What was he out here for this time?

Was it not to pull off a big score and make Boss Kaido and Imperial Son-in-Law Luo Xing look at him with new respect!

If he were to return in such a disgraceful manner, not to mention that Big Brothers Enel and Queen would severely reprimand him.

Just consider that group of Tobiroppo who ate Devil Fruit cells; their hearts would surely look down on him as well.

Even if Jack were to die, he could not endure such humiliation.

Therefore,

even if he encountered the most terrifying of the Navy Admirals, Akainu, he would still clash with him!

The little minions could not dissuade Jack.

If they urged further, perhaps without Akainu lifting a finger, My Lord Jack would wipe them out.

Helpless, they could only steer the ship toward the Navy warship.

Soon, the two ships reached a distance visible to the naked eye.

On the Navy warship, the Marines shouted:

"Alert! Alert! Pirate ship spotted! Pirate ship spotted!"

"Whose pirate ship is it?" a Navy Vice Admiral asked.

"It is the Beasts Pirates, who have already stolen the Heavenly Gold twice!"

Dozens of Marines on the warship instantly turned pale with shock.

The Beasts Pirates are stealing the Heavenly Gold again; have they become addicted to stealing?

"No need to panic," that Navy Vice Admiral said calmly. "This time, we have Admiral Sakazuki stationed here!"

No sooner had his words ended than a tall red figure walked forward from behind.

The instant they saw the red figure, all the Marines, including that Vice Admiral, stood straight and saluted:

"Greetings, Admiral!"
