Chapter 435

"Father, how are you! (Sky Island dialect)"

Luffy didn't understand anything except the name, but Nami's eyes lit up: "Conis, what is that thing your father is riding? It looks like it might be fun."

"Ah! That? That's a Waver." "Wow, this thing is so imposing!"

On the cloud sea, Conis's father shouted loudly: "Sorry, excuse me, I'm going to stop!"

But for some reason, the Waver accelerated uncontrollably toward the front.

"Ahhhhh! Conis, save me!"

At this moment, a flash of golden light streaked by.

"Uncle, are you alright?"

Pagaya rubbed his head. After seeing clearly who had saved him, he quickly retreated a few steps and bowed in salute.

"Ve, very sorry, Lord Karl."

Karl waved his hand: "It's fine. Just be more careful next time."

"Dad, are you okay! Ah, Lord Karl, why are you here?"

Karl pinched Conis's cheek: "Hahaha, I heard pirates had broken in, so I came to take a look. But you, you've grown so much in a few years? You're getting prettier and prettier!"

Feeling Karl's intimate gesture, Conis's face instantly turned bright red, and steam was almost rising from the top of her head.

"Lord Karl~"

Karl laughed, patted Conis on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I won't tease you anymore. I know those guys over there; I'm going to go talk to them."

Conis's expression changed, and she immediately said: "Lord Karl, although they are pirates, I feel like they should be good people."

"Don't worry, I have my own judgment."

On the other side.

Luo Bin's mouth curled up slightly. This guy really did come. She hadn't expected to meet him so soon.

*Click~*

Zoro gripped his sword, looking at the tall figure not far away with a complex expression. He let out a long sigh; it wasn't the time yet.

Although he felt he had become much stronger, it was still far from enough.

"Eh, it's you again. Why are you here too?" Luffy shouted at Karl in his usual carefree manner.

Karl walked slowly toward Luffy, saying as he walked: "What kind of question is that? This is my fiancée's territory; isn't it normal for me to be here?"

"Fiancée!!!" *N

Luo Bin took a few steps forward, looking at Karl in disbelief: "When did you get engaged? How come there wasn't any news at all?"

Karl scratched his head: "Well, because my fiancée is a pirate, it wasn't very convenient to spread the word."

Luo Bin quickly caught the keyword. After a brief moment of thought, she blurted out: "Your fiancée is the world's most beautiful woman, Boa Hancock?"

"Yes, that's right." Karl nodded.

Sanji, who was eavesdropping on the side: "What? The Pirate Empress is already taken!!! And by this guy!!"

"No! No, no! No, no~~~"

Sanji fell to his knees in despair, like a salted fish that had lost its dreams. At this moment, even a Negative Hollow wouldn't be able to make him feel any worse.

"Ah? Pirate Empress? Who is that?"

Conis walked over to explain: "It's the Warlord of the Sea, Lady Boa Hancock. She is also the ruler of the Sky Island and the Empress of Amazon Lily."

"Let's not talk about that. How did you guys end up here? Could it be that you came here riding the Knock-Up Stream?"

Luffy nodded happily: "That's right, it was very exciting!"

"I have to say, you guys are really lucky. The survival rate for riding the Knock-Up Stream up here is less than 10%. You guys are really lucky!"

"But since you're here, I'll tell you about the rules here."

Karl pointed toward the distant Amazon Lily: "That over there is the forbidden land of the Sky Island, Amazon Lily. You are not allowed to enter without permission. If you trespass, Hancock will kill you all without hesitation."

"Nami and Luo Bin are fine, since they are women. Once a man breaks into Amazon Lily, no matter what the reason, the outcome is very miserable."

Usopp nodded thoughtfully, then realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Then what about you? Aren't you a man too? You can't go to the Island of Women either?"

"Hahaha, I am probably the only man in this world who can enter and leave Amazon Lily freely, because the Empress of Amazon Lily is my fiancée. What, do you have an opinion?"

Usopp shook his head—no, no, no.

"Alright, that's about it. Angel Island has its own rules too; I'll let Conis tell you about those. Luo Bin, I'll take you to Amazon Lily to see. There are things there you'd be interested in. Hmm... Nami, do you want to come?"

Nami hesitated for a moment, looked at her companions, then looked at Karl. In the end, her gossip-driven desire to see Karl's fiancée took the upper hand.

"I want to go!"

After saying that, Nami said to Luffy, Zoro, and the others: "Luo Bin and I are going to Amazon Lily. You guys behave yourselves; don't cause a bunch of trouble before I get back! Did you hear me?"

Luffy picked his nose: "No problem."

Hearing that Nami was going to Amazon Lily, Sanji, who was lying on the ground, began to crawl frantically, soon reaching Nami's feet.

"Miss Nami, please, take me with you too! I don't want to stay with that green-haired idiot!"

Zoro was instantly displeased, drew his sword, and pointed it at Sanji: "You lecherous kappa, don't think I don't know what's going on in your head! Don't dream about it; a guy like you will never have a chance to go to Amazon Lily in this lifetime."

"Who are you calling a lecherous kappa!?"

Karl shook his head and turned to Conis: "I'll leave these guys to you. Don't let them do anything out of line. If there's a problem, contact Gan Fall directly."

"Yes, Lord Karl, I know. Please go with peace of mind."

"That's good. Raven!"

"Caw!"

Karl jumped onto the raven's back and shouted to Nami and Luo Bin: "Come on up!"

"Okay!"

Luo Bin immediately used her Hana Hana no Mi ability to bring Nami up onto the raven's back.

"We won't fall off, will we?" Nami seemed a bit worried.

Karl smiled faintly and didn't say much, and the raven took off immediately.

After Karl left, Usopp said speechlessly: "They just abandoned us and left with someone else?"

Zoro shrugged: "What can we do? Anyway, Karl won't hurt them. After all, he is a Navy officer."

"That's the key point! A Navy officer who can coexist peacefully with pirates—it's too strange."

It wasn't Usopp's fault for feeling that way, because other Navy officers had always attacked them without rhyme or reason.

Especially that White Smoker; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was relentless in his pursuit. ===== CHAPTER 437 =====
