Chapter 839: Yim is timid?

〖Marijoa, Pangu City——〗

The tradition of the World Conference has been around for 800 years, so naturally there are special residences for the royal families who come to attend the conference to stay temporarily.

The meeting is held every four years and can last from a week to more than a month.

The longest time was because of a certain issue, because the countries were arguing and arguing back and forth, arguing endlessly for their own interests, and unwilling to give in easily. More than a hundred kings spent more than four months in Marijoa. Fortunately, the communication technology of Den Den Mushi in this world is very advanced. As long as they are willing to spend money and equip large Den Den Mushi with radio signals strong enough to cross the ocean, the kings can handle domestic affairs remotely even if they are in Marijoa. The issue that the kings argued about that time was the establishment of the Shichibukai system.

Some member states thought it was okay for pirates to have legal permission to plunder, but some felt it was a great shame. Most importantly, pirates had official status and certain legal immunity, which was a disaster! Therefore, they argued for half a year before finally passing it.

This time, the world conference, which was held a year in advance, also tends to fall into a protracted dispute.

Because, recognizing the alliance between the Kingdom of Flowers, Ryugu, and Amazon Lily at the World Conference is tantamount to recognizing the legal status of the Nine Snakes, and in fact tacitly agreeing that the Nine Snakes will join the World Government and become a part of the World Conference - but in this case, as a member of the World Government, it should have the obligation to pay celestial gold to the Celestial Dragons.

In response to this, the Queen of Nine Snakes just laughed at the meeting.

Her smile was beautiful. Although it was 100% sarcastic, everyone had to admit that it was beautiful. The entire World Conference even stopped for a minute because of this smile that made the time pale. But no matter how beautiful the smile was, if you, Nine Snakes, wanted to join the World Government, you had to pay the Heavenly Gold! In response, the Queen of Nine Snakes once again disdained, "I am allied with the Kingdom of Flowers and the Dragon Palace. Who said that Nine Snakes would join the World Conference?"

This behavior of pretending to be ignorant was extremely shameless, but the kings at the meeting did not have the courage to confront her on the spot.

The Five Elders at the higher levels have not shown their attitudes, and the kings are unsure about how to treat the empress whose identity and position are unclear. She is the leader of pirates, but she can come to the holy land of Marijoa to attend the World Conference with the Queen of Flower Country and the King of Ryugu. She is recognized by the World Government or the Navy to some extent, but no official has come out to speak for her. In short, she is allowed to fight freely with other kings at the World Conference.

King Nefertari, the royal family of Alabasta, who has a decisive voice in the World Conference, seems to be inclined to support the Nine Snakes Empress for some unknown reason.

The King of the Kingdom of Xikaial, Dalton of the Kingdom of Medicine Snow, and even the King of Dressrosa...

Not to mention the Flower Kingdom Queen and the Dragon Palace King, two interested parties. With so many kings and some countries that are close to these kings - such as Dressrosa's ally, the Kingdom of Prodians - supporting them intentionally or unintentionally, it is really difficult to talk about the final result in a short period of time.

During this period, the entire holy land of Mary Joa was revolving around the World Conference. Although it seemed calm on the surface, undercurrents were surging.

Some kings who were close to the Celestial Dragons strongly opposed this. The bottom line was that allied countries must pay celestial gold, and there would be no exceptions.

Some kings were ambiguous and waited and watched for the time being. After all, who would be willing to pay such a large sum of money every year for the Tianlong people to waste? Wouldn't it be better to use the money scraped from the people in their own country to enjoy themselves?

Dalton, King Riku, Cobra and others tend to be happy to see the emergence of a new alliance that is outside the rules of the World Conference, which is also a good thing for them.

What's more, in this world, many times, if you can make friends with a top-level strong person, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.

There are a large number of top-level strongmen that the Queen of Nine Snakes can contact... Just Lynch and Nico Robin are enough to make people dare not neglect them, not to mention the network spread out by the relationship between these two people: Red-haired Shanks and Pluto Rayleigh are on good terms with them; the strength of the Straw Hat Boys and others who are traveling with them cannot be ignored; the remnants of Whitebeard such as Flamebeard Ace have a very special relationship with Lynch...

If we continue to extrapolate, the father of the Straw Hat Boy is the revolutionary Drago, who is also a terrifying guy; the "Golden Foot" Vinsmoke Sanji, who changed his full name in the bounty order updated a while ago, is also something that cannot be ignored...

Perhaps this is also the reason why the World Government and the Navy did not act rashly against the Nine Snakes Empress. The kings knew this very well. The first domino was pushed down, and the subsequent chain reaction might be even more terrifying than the Battle of Marineford a year ago... Regarding this, when the kings who were temporarily staying in Marijoa saw the huge explosive headline on the front page of the latest newspaper, "The Straw Hat Boy Killed Kaido, the King of Beasts, and Became the Pirate King of the New Era, Maybe It's Not a Big Talk?!", their eyelids jumped.

Especially, in the front page photo, I don't know which news bird risked its life to take a close-up photo of Luffy. The snake-shaped pendant on his neck made countless royals, World Government officials, and naval officers gasp, slap their foreheads, or slap their thighs. Damn, this kid is not from the Nine Snake Island? ! Lynch and the Empress's child? No, no, this kid's father is the Revolutionary Army Dragon... and the age doesn't match. The figure of a blonde woman whose life and death is still unknown appeared in the minds of the navy, the former Empress of the Nine Snakes!

My goodness, after all this fuss, Straw Hat Boy Luffy, Lynch, Nico Robin, Empress Boa Hancock, the former Snake Princess, and even the Revolutionary Army Dragon, these people are actually originally a family of Nine Snake Island? ! "Luffy is not bad!"

In the magnificent villa, Sanda and Mary were browsing the latest newspapers that were delivered to them with a smile, "He actually killed Kaido, the King of Beasts, all by himself? Haha, he must have asked Lynch not to interfere, otherwise Lynch would have dealt with Kaido before Luffy arrived."

The Empress leaned back on the sofa elegantly and casually, flicked her nails, and said calmly: "Just Kaido."

Just Kaido!

Rose, Rebecca, Vivi, and the mermaid princess Shirahoshi, who seemed to be visiting, were all secretly shocked. Even if you, the Empress, said this, it would make people feel dizzy.

That's Kaido! Oyu smiled and sipped his tea, "If Luffy enters Gear 4 and Rubber Man at full power, he will have a good chance of winning even against Kaido. It's no surprise that he can defeat him."

Sanda nudged Ayu with his elbow, lowered his head and chuckled, "Of course, you have a say in this, Ayu~"

Otama's Black Dragon ability is similar to Kaido's Blue Dragon. At the end of a year of collective training, after Luffy fully mastered the fourth gear, the Black Dragon Otama was no match for him...

Ayu got upset and pulled Sanda's cheek.

The tea party of the queens, empresses, and princesses was filled with laughter from time to time. The guards stood guard and patrolled at the entrance of the villa and in the lobby. Although this was the holy land of Marijoa, there wouldn't be any bad guys or assassins, but they still had to do their job. To be disrespectful, what if another tactless Celestial Dragon showed up?

A few days before the World Conference, some ungrateful Celestial Dragons showed up and tried to harass the Pirate Empress. Although it turned out to be a false alarm—the Empress unexpectedly did not lose her temper, and the Celestial Dragons also gave up their greed very quickly, and left for unknown reasons—it was still scary.

The invisible airflow passed openly between the guards with different expressions.

The Kerla element turned into invisible and colorless gas, and its consciousness seemed to be able to disperse into every corner of the gas body, calmly observing the terrain and passing through every gap.

The Celestial Dragons are so hateful, but the Empress Sister actually endured it? Kerla was secretly surprised, and soon she thought about it. That's right, the Empress Sister is famous for her strength. The first time she set foot in Mary Geoise, she would probably be asked to wear seastone handcuffs...

Invisible and colorless gas flowed out from the gaps in the luxurious glazed windows. Kerla came to the room where the princesses' laughter came from, and as expected, she saw Queen Boa Hancock leaning on the sofa.

She was lowering her beautiful eyes, looking at a "bracelet" on her wrist.

Kerla recognized it, it was half of a seastone handcuff. The World Government probably feared that the Empress would turn against them, so they didn't dare to handcuff her. Anyway, as long as it could limit her combat power as a user with special abilities, it didn't matter whether it was a seastone handcuff or a seastone bracelet. Half of the handcuffs could weaken the Empress's resistance, so it was naturally the best.

"Otherwise, the Tianlong who dared to harass the empress sister would definitely be kicked to death by her on the street..." Kerla thought secretly as she floated in the air of the tea party room. In her impression, the empress was not a good-tempered person - except to Brother Lin Qi and Sister Robin.

Rose smiled and suggested, "We can't keep on being stuck like this. How about this? Should we also officially join the alliance?"

"Your country and the Empress and the others are not in the same area, right?" Rebecca sat obediently next to Vivi. The Princess of Alabasta, who was not much older than her but gave people a feeling of being strong and reliable, made Rebecca feel very close to her.

Weiwei smiled and said, "Can't the Jade Queen move the island? Why not just move Kraikana Island to the New World or the West Sea?"

Ah Yu said, "Just call me Ah Yu."

"Lady Vivi, where is Alabasta?" Shirahoshi clasped his hands and bowed his head happily, "If we all move together, we can play together like this more often in the future, right?"

Vivi blushed, "Isn't Alabasta too big?"

Ah Yu complained, "Kraikana Island is not small, right?"

This atmosphere of seriousness and joking made the girls laugh. Sanda and Mary also joined the discussion. The princesses were very curious about the appearance of the world-famous women's country. They caught the two of them telling jokes or asked a soul-searching question with blushing faces and shining eyes: What if the country is full of girls, what should we do if we have children? Then there was a whisper and a burst of laughter.

The news of the death of the Celestial Dragon has not been spread... Hancock looked at the half-broken seastone handcuffs on her wrist and thought about this question. Her Medusa ability had long been integrated with her blood, and this ability had become a part of her, and she was no longer a Devil Fruit user. Wearing this seastone handcuff on her was actually useless.

When the celestial dragon jumped out halfway, Hancock was too lazy to say a word to such an idiot and just stabbed him with a strand of snake hair.

Medusa's poison completely controlled the nerves of the celestial dragon, and directly ordered him to go home and find the strongest slave in Pangu City to fight him in a duel.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This way of dying should be very unique. Hancock smiled disdainfully, then suddenly his eyes fixed, he looked away, and shouted, "Who is it?"

Her long black hair moved without wind, and one strand of it turned into a slender black snake that raised its head, hissing and spitting out its tongue, with a wisp of purple poisonous mist ready to be released -

Sanda and Mary put their hands on their pet snake that was taking a nap on the carpet; Ayu looked in the direction indicated by Hancock's snake hair, and the hands crossed on her legs quietly turned into black-scaled dragon claws; the other princesses were a little confused, Vivi and Rose were more suspicious, and Shirahoshi and Rebecca were more shocked.

"Don't do it, Sister Empress, it's me!"

A female voice in a low voice emerged from the air, and the invisible and colorless gas swept through the room with a breeze, gathering into Kerla's pretty and lovely entity.

"Is it you?" Hancock crossed her arms, and a strand of hair in her hair returned to normal and fell down quietly.

Kerla breathed a sigh of relief.

Ayu was surprised and said, "Kerla, why are you...just you?"

She looked out. Ayu, who had also participated in the previous year's training, naturally knew Kerla and knew her background. This girl who was rescued by Brother Lin Qi and Sister Robin and received the gas fruit from Brother Lin Qi was now one of the core cadres of the Revolutionary Army. Such a person suddenly appeared in the headquarters of this World Government, which made people wonder whether the Revolutionary Army was going to go to war with the World Government.

Kerla shook his head and said, "Although I didn't sneak in alone, the purpose of our operation this time is not to confront the World Government head-on..."

Weiwei looked at the Empress, looked at Ayu, and then looked at Kerla, "So what are you doing for..."

"Rescue an important companion." Kerla said firmly, "He must still be alive."

That bear-like guy? Hancock thought thoughtfully. If she remembered correctly, at the Sabaody Archipelago after the Battle of Marineford, Lynch relayed the Big Bear's last words to Dragon.

"Is he in Marijoa?" asked the empress.

"Hmm..." Kerla nodded in a low voice, "According to the doctor, he became a slave of the Celestial Dragons."

PhD……

Hancock's heart moved. The doctor she heard from the mouth of this core cadre of the Revolutionary Army was related to the bear. Perhaps it was only the doctor that Lynch and Robin often mentioned.

She called Kerla to the next room and said, "Recently, the news that a celestial dragon died in a duel with a slave in Pangu City has been suppressed. The person you are looking for should be that slave."

The order given by Snake Toxin was to have the Celestial Dragon challenge the strongest slave of Mary Geoise. Since Kerla said that the big bear had become a slave of the Celestial Dragon, who else could be the strongest? Upon hearing this, Kerla stared at Hancock blankly and asked carefully: "Sister Empress, could this be... your doing?"

She looked down in astonishment at the half-broken seastone handcuffs on the empress's left wrist. This shouldn't be the case! "It has nothing to do with you." Hancock crossed her arms with a cold expression.

"Anyway, thank you for the information." Kerla hesitated for a long time and couldn't help but said, "This is Marijoa after all. If possible, Empress Sister should try not to..."

If the situation gets too serious, no one can predict the consequences.

The Empress glanced at her and asked, "Did the doctor reveal anything to you?"

The atmosphere was a bit strange. Both girls had a hunch that what the other party wanted to mention was not Dr. Vegapunk, but the name of the person who was forbidden to be mentioned in the Holy Land or even in any corner of the world.

Kerla sighed, scratched his head and said, "The doctor said... he doesn't know much about it, but he thinks he is a coward."

A coward? This time, Hancock couldn't hold back any longer. She wondered if she and the girl from the Revolutionary Army had no chemistry at all and were talking about completely different things.

Are you sure that the person who can project a clone of himself in the sea water and confront Lynch from a distance has anything to do with the word "cowardly"?

Kerla said seriously: "So, don't do anything that might irritate that person. That's what the doctor said. If someone misunderstands you, the consequences will be unpredictable..."

Hancock narrowed his eyes. "So, this is why you don't want to go to war with the world's nobles?"

…

At the same time, in the Hall of Power, five people who stood at the top of the world's nobility gathered together to discuss things. On the coffee table where they sat, there was a copy of the latest newspaper.
