Gawain, who was standing nearby, was genuinely stunned after hearing Franky's words.
A moment later, he picked up Shalria, laughed Charlos, and kicked him.
"What are you saying, you son of a bitch? You've married eight wives and you're still proud of it, huh?"
You feel even more proud of competing with your child for milk, right?
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain laughed and gave Charlos another kick.
Seeing that he had been kicked by Gawain again, Charlos was furious. Looking at Gawain's nonchalant face, he really wanted to shoot something!
But before Charlos could even make a move, or Charlos didn't even dare to make a move at all.
In short, before Charlos could speak, Shalria was in Gawain's arms, turned her head and gave Charlos a disdainful look.
"Hmph, brother, let's not bring up your dirty secrets in public, okay!"
You're not ashamed? I am!
Why don't you look around? How many Celestial Dragons in all of Mary Geoise are like you, marrying those damned lowlifes?!
Besides you, I can't even find a person with one hand, brother!!!
As soon as she finished speaking, Shalria jumped off Gawain's arms, clearly annoyed. Her older brother had done so many terrible things that she was too ashamed to enjoy Gawain's embrace anymore!
As soon as she landed, she raised her hand and punched Charlos in the face.
Since they were still in Mary Geoise at this time, none of them were wearing the bubble headgear, so Shalria's punch landed directly on Charlos's face!
While beating her own brother until his nose bled profusely, Shalria continued to speak with dissatisfaction.
"Did you hear me, brother? You're not allowed to gossip about your dirty secrets anymore, and you're not allowed to embarrass me anymore!"
It's one thing for you to disgrace the Rosward Family, but to disgrace your sister is to damage the reputation of the Gawain Family as well!
You know that, you bastard!!!
After saying that, Shalria pinched Charlos's ear and shook it repeatedly, Charlos immediately started to burst into tears.
Sister, you're not married into the Gawain Family yet? Your elbows are turned outwards like that, haven't you seen a doctor about this problem?
With these thoughts in mind, Charlos responded to Shalria with a sense of frustration.
"Little sister, please don't be so hypocritical!"
What's wrong with me marrying a woman from a lower social class? There are beautiful women among the lower social classes too, so why can't I marry one?
You see, the other Celestial Dragon don't marry those women, but do you see, they still play around with those women, and they still play around in a ridiculous way!
According to you, even though I Charlos, am shameful, I'm at least much better than those bastards who play with women's feelings but refuse to marry them!
At this point, Charlos pointed angrily at Gawain, who, while struggling, continued speaking to Shalria.
"Besides, how dare you talk about me like that? Why don't you talk about your Gawain!"
His engagement to the Mermaid Princess has already spread throughout Mary Geoise, hasn't it? How enviable!
In short, I'm not the only one who's embarrassed; Gawain and I are no different... Ahhhhh!!!
Before Charlos could finish speaking, Shalria immediately increased the intensity of her attack.
She grabbed Charlos's face and forced him to the ground while yelling at him.
"You think you can compare to Brother Gawain? What do you have to offer? Do you even have the ability?"
Even if Gawain is a bit willful, look at the quality of the low-class women he wants to marry!!!
The two most beautiful women in the world, one Mermaid Princess and the other some kind of Pirate Empress —do you even know the meaning of "most beautiful in the world"?
Even if Gawain a little willful, it only proves that he has good eyesight and a strong sense of aesthetics!
But you? You could easily steal the wife of some lower-class person while walking down the street!
Compared to Gawain, do you even have any shame?!
As soon as she finished speaking, Shalria turned around, gave Gawain an apologetic look, and then kicked Charlos in the face with her high heel.
While crushing her own brother, the good sister Shalria gave Gawain an extremely apologetic look.
"I'm so sorry, Brother Gawain. Charlos's boastful words have questioned the Gawain Family's aesthetic sense!"
Don't be angry, I'll go back and teach him a lesson. He's really gone too far, Charlos is getting more and more outrageous!
Having such a brother has really caused this poor girl so much worry, but it's nothing, it's all for the honor of the Gawain Family ~~~.
As for the remaining sisters, hehe, they're fine.
Although you were considered lower-class people before, you won't be anymore. Now that you've joined our great Gawain Family, you're all members of the Gawain Family, aren't you?
Hehe, I'm leaving now~~~."
After saying that, Shalria grabbed Charlos and left, who knows what kind of treatment Charlos would face next.
Anyway, it probably won't be too good, because Charlos was on the verge of a breakdown after being dragged away.
He frantically pulled at the ground, even looking at Gawain with pleading eyes, and then at Franky.
While pleading, Charlos continued to wail.
"Let me go, let me go!!!"
Waaaaah, Mommy, save me! Let me go home! I want to find my mommy!
I want to play soccer! Waaaaaah!!!
Hearing Charlos's cries, Franky felt a pang of pity. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but whisper something.
"Gow, so even Celestial Dragon get beaten up. He looks so pitiful!"
Considering that although he misremembered my name, he at least remembered me and even considered me a friend, I really wanted to help him.
However, considering that he actually has eight or nine wives, I suddenly don't want to get involved anymore!
Damn, that's really enviable, no wonder they're Celestial Dragon!!!
At this point, Franky suddenly felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
So, a moment later, Franky, having figured it out, was immediately stunned.
"Hey, sir, I wasn't talking about you! You're not like them!"
I envy them, but I...
Forget it, I'm not saying anything anymore, honestly.
Aren't I busy enough with the Sea Train project? Aren't I busy enough with the robot project?
Look at me, haha, ahahaha~~~."
Franky chuckled and left. If he didn't leave, Gawain might kick him.
Gawain had already said that Mary Geoise was open to him to wander around, so why shouldn't he hurry up and broaden his horizons? Wouldn't it be an eyesore for him to stay by Gawain's side?
At the same time, the other cadres around Gawain were also a little embarrassed, and they also wanted to take a step back and speak.
Because the girls next to Gawain all had dark expressions on their faces at that moment.
The words Shalria used about "lower-class women" really hurt these girls.
Although Shalria herself realized something was wrong, she quickly made amends by praising Hancock and Shirahoshi's looks.
But...
Doesn't Gion's face also turn black?
Don't Nami and Robin's faces get dark too?
Wait, what does Nami and Robin have to do with this?
Ha, they won't let us eat pork, but they won't even let us dream about pigs running?
Anyone who has entertained such thoughts, even without expressing them, wouldn't be hurt by Shalria's words, wouldn't they?
In short, seeing the women's dark faces, even the unseen Xiao couldn't help but wave at Gawain.
"Ahem, sir, those Celestial Dragons were there to welcome you. We are not worthy of their welcome, so we will leave now and wander around."
"That's right."
Jinbe the joke ended than Jinbe quickly spoke up.
"We came to Mary Geoise with you last time, so we've memorized your house's location. We'll take you there first. Please, sir, exchange pleasantries with the other Celestial Dragon, cough cough!"
After Jinbe coughed twice, the group immediately prepared to leave. Apart from Doflamingo, who had something to say to his uncle, everyone else ran several hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.
Watching the officials gradually leave, Gion couldn't hold back any longer. She let out a soft snort and immediately tried to leave as well.
"Sir, I'll go home first, I..."
"Etc!"
Before Gion could finish speaking, Gawain suddenly interrupted her.
Immediately afterwards, Gawain, holding Shirahoshi's tail, addressed the people around him.
"Shalria is a girl who speaks without thinking, so I hope everyone will be understanding. From now on, I'll handle the other Celestial Dragon myself."
However, Gion, Hancock, and Shirahoshi, the three of you stay.
I'm going to take you to see the Five Elders in a bit. They told me last time that if I don't bring you along, I can forget about seeing them next time.
As for Doflamingo, you should stay as well; after all, your elders are among those who come to greet you!
Besides that, Ace!
Gawain suddenly called out Ace's name, which made Ace, who was following Rayleigh toward Mary Geoise, pause slightly.
"What's going on, sir? What happened to me?"
"Keep a low profile, kid."
Seeing Ace's confused expression, Gawain gently reminded him.
"No need to be too low-key, just be at least a little low-key, understand?"
"Got it, haha, looks like it's my cheapskate dad causing trouble again, humph!"
Upon hearing Gawain's words, Ace nodded knowingly, then nonchalantly followed Rayleigh and, guided by Jinbe, headed towards Mary Geoise.
They walked right past the Celestial Dragon were approaching.
Many members of the Celestial Dragon' group were quite dissatisfied as they watched them pass by.
How dare these lowly people refuse to kneel before them and even pass by the Celestial Dragon!
However, considering that the leading clan leaders had not spoken, the other Celestial Dragon did not dare to speak either. After each grumbling a few times, they continued walking towards Gawain.
As for the leading clan leaders...
Well...
Mjosgard, the patriarch of the Donquixote Family, was now covered in tears and had no strength left to speak.
As for the other Rosward patriarch, he's currently being carried by his men.
As for the reason, well, ever since Shalria revealed her severe elbow valgus again, this old father has lost the strength to speak, and even the strength to clutch his chest.
He fainted again...
As the Celestial Dragon approached Gawain and his group, the women who had been specifically chosen by Gawain to stay behind displayed various expressions.
Shirahoshi didn't understand what was going on, but she knew that the adults had told her to wait here for a while.
Is it possible that the adults are reluctant to get rid of her tail just yet?
Ugh, so embarrassing! The adults are holding my tail and wiggling it, it's ticklish~.
It's one thing for Shirahoshi to act silly, but surprisingly, Hancock at this moment is no different from Shirahoshi.
Originally, places like Mary Geoise were quite stimulating for Hancock. Although Hancock had overcome her psychological trauma, she still felt pressured when walking there.
Then, after hearing Shalria's words, although she was dissatisfied, her inferiority complex grew day by day.
Although she, the Pirate Empress, never relinquishes her pride, the consensus throughout the Pirate World is that Celestial Dragon are superior to commoners.
At least in the last few hundred years, these Celestial Dragons have indeed been recognized by 99% of people as descendants of gods, that is, descendants of the Creator.
But for most people themselves...
Judging from their barely-daring attitude towards harming Celestial Dragon, you can tell they see themselves as inferior beings. Sigh.
In short, although Hancock was hurt by Shalria's unintentional words, aside from that feeling, Hancock long-lost inferiority complex resurfaced.
But here's the crucial point: before Hancock could even get a chance to speak, Gawain's next words left Hancock completely speechless.
"Meeting the parents... Waaaaah, is this what they call meeting the parents?!"
So sudden, so domineering, mmm, so fast~~~."
In short, Shirahoshi shyly longed for her little tail, Hancock shyly longed to meet her parents.
Only Gion, her face flushed, asked Gawain softly.
"My lord, I... I also wish to see the Five Elders?"
Am I... not really suitable, after all, I...?
There's nothing wrong with it.
Gawain freed one hand and released Shirahoshi's tail, then gently grabbed Gion's wrist.
"No matter what kind of people the Five Elders are in your eyes, I must admit one thing, that is... they are indeed my seniors!"
At least their attitude towards me was very kind and gentle, like an elder looking at a young person.
As for me, I would never do something like eating from a bowl and then cursing the cook.
Therefore, I must fulfill my promise to the five of them and bring the woman they requested, who can inherit my Gawain surname, when I meet with them next time!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain pulled Gion's hand in front of him and gently pressed it against his cheek.
After a brief encounter, Gawain released Gion, then took two steps forward and nodded to the approaching Celestial Dragon who were there to greet him.
"Saint Mjosgard, Saint Rosward, and all others."
My return has truly caused you all trouble.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all, boohoo!"
"Long time no see, Gawain, I've missed you so much!!!"
Mjosgard stood before Gawain, weeping, then looked up in astonishment at Gawain's height.
"Young people really are young, they grow so fast! Last time I saw you you were a little shorter than me, and now you're so much taller!!!"
At this point, Mjosgard gave Gawain a warm hug, and after the hug, he looked at the people remaining behind Gawain.
As he watched, Mjosgard knelt down on the ground without hesitation, weeping bitterly as he roared at Doflamingo.
"Wow, my nephew, my dear nephew!!!"
Seriously, sob sob sob, I was utterly heartless back then, I was a complete scoundrel, waa...
Ever since I was moved by Queen Otohime's kindness, I've truly realized just how awful I was in the past, sob sob sob!
As a brother, as a relative, how could I have been such a bastard back then, watching my sister-in-law die right at our hometown's doorstep?!
As he cried out, Mjosgard actually knelt down and moved toward Doflamingo.
As he moved, Mjosgard reached out his hand, wanting to give Doflamingo a hug.
Even Doflamingo was a little stunned when he saw Mjosgard being carried towards him. He hesitated and glanced at Gawain.
Although I had heard about the changes in Mjosgard, these changes were just too outrageous!
This is... just like that, he just knelt down like that???
Feeling utterly bewildered, Doflamingo quickly dodged Mjosgard's embrace.
Even with his uncle's behavior, he had no intention of reconciling with them.
Because some cracks can't be erased!
One is the rift caused by his own mother being abandoned and banished by Mjosgard, ultimately leading to her death!
The other is the rift between Doflamingo and Homing, who personally killed Mjosgard's brother!
He even killed his own father; how could he possibly forget everything from the past just because of the tears of his own uncle?
How is that possible?!
