Across from him, he looked at Gawain serious-looking Gawain and sensed the dangerous aura surrounding him.
Stussy's muscles tensed slightly!
Just now, just before, this woman respected Gawain, but that respect was just that—respect. Everything she showed was solely because of Gawain's status.
But now...
Admittedly, Stussy sensed a familiar feeling from Gawain!
That was a dangerous smell!
Just as he hovered beside Whitebeard, in Stussy's eyes, Gawain had transformed into a lion king, looking down on her fragile body from above.
This feeling sent shivers down her spine!
He wasn't trembling because a dangerous lion was about to lie beside him.
She just felt...
For a woman, especially for a woman like her.
Only by conquering one lion after another that reigns supreme in the sea can a woman truly be considered accomplished!
Stussy always believed that a woman's true sense of accomplishment comes from having a strong man kneel before her.
As for power, status, and strength?
Ah, didn't Charlotte Linlin get all of that?
As one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, isn't she simply a woman standing at the pinnacle of power and strength?
Even women like that sometimes feel so empty that they need dozens of husbands to satisfy themselves, don't they?
At least that's what Stussy thinks.
Women and men are two completely different beings; they need entirely different things.
Power, status, strength, fame—these things fill the chest of 99% of men.
As for women and love, they are merely a lingering aftertaste in the hearts of successful men.
For women, power, status, and everything else cannot fill their hearts; only a deep and sweet love and being loved can truly satisfy them.
However, if one incidentally gains power and wealth while happily loving and being loved...
That would be even happier, wouldn't it?
He watched from the side, observing Stussy's rapidly changing expression.
Especially when you see Stussy's two long legs instinctively intertwined.
Hancock became slightly more serious; she had a feeling that the woman opposite her was in heat.
Originally, she didn't need to care about Stussy, because at that time Stussy only had fevers.
A beautiful woman who only gets fevers would find it very difficult to seduce a man like Gawain.
But a beautiful woman who is truly aroused has the opportunity to seduce any man!
In an instant, Hancock frowned slightly, and then involuntarily curled her toes.
I must protect Gawain's home, even if it's full of simple, naive women. I can't let any slutty, cheap women in!!!
As for Stussy, she knew what Hancock was thinking even without looking.
But now she's too lazy to look at Hancock.
Because Gawain already had enough for her to see.
She excitedly twisted her legs, cupped her hands to her heart, and said with a coquettish laugh.
"My lord, I know what great things you are about to accomplish."
At the same time, I now understand how you intend to achieve the prosperous era you desire through the media industry!
I am so touched that you are willing to entrust me with such an important task!
I dare not say for sure that I can handle everything well.
But I hereby swear that I will use all my knowledge to handle all future affairs well, and lay the foundation for you, my lord, to overturn the entire world!
As she finished speaking, Stussy's eyes even welled up with a little moisture, and that moisture made one think that there was more to her than just that.
In short, looking at Stussy at this moment, Gawain smiled without saying a word, but he knew she was indeed serious.
With that in mind, Gawain could rest a little more at ease, since Stussy's abilities were indeed rare.
If he puts his mind to it, in an era where the entertainment industry is sparsely populated and print media is self-absorbed, as long as Pirate World does it seriously, he can succeed.
With its holdings in a series of booming industries such as television, film, and live streaming, Stussy is bound to achieve great things unless someone is completely incompetent.
What she achieves in the future will determine how quickly Gawain gains international recognition.
It's clearly impossible for everyone to be like a dragon. Even if everything were a dragon, dragons would still have varying degrees of strength and power.
But at least, Gawain believed that his actions would gradually create a more reasonable and peaceful Pirate World than it is now.
This is not due to his ability, but rather the inevitable pressure and replacement of outdated customs and practices by advanced ideas.
Isn't that right?
Gawain simply waved his hand and smiled.
"Very good, it seems we can become friends, Stussy."
Then let's get busy now, because time waits for no one, and we should seize every minute.
Our ship is currently undergoing upgrades in Water 7 Beautiful Mountain, and for now you can only familiarize yourself with the work in Mary Geoise.
Although the Den Den Mushi) is not yet fully developed, you can at least select maids and guards from within my family to prepare song and dance performances and dramas for future promotion.
If I don't have enough maids, then you can go and choose from all over Mary Geoise. As long as you think they're suitable, I can even ask for maids who serve in the Five Elders' castle."
"Yes, sir!"
Across from her, Stussy quickly nodded; she was increasingly looking forward to what lay ahead.
She's incredibly skilled at training women, and he's always been doing the same thing.
However, the people she had trained in the past were always just playthings of other people.
As for now, not only is she able to stand in the spotlight, but the playthings she trains may even become idols for men all over the world!
The shock this caused Stussy was indescribable, after all, what she always cherished was sufficient influence and fame.
She has found the most suitable platform!
With that thought in mind, Stussy stopped fawning over Gawain and gracefully walked away into the distance.
She first needs to select a group of outstanding maids and strive to train them into qualified actresses.
As for the future, she has so much to do; if she doesn't do it well, she'll gain nothing.
But if she does well enough, then wealth, power, fame, and the alluring man, Gawain...
She could potentially seize all of that!
At this moment, she only wished time would pass so slowly; each day felt like an eternity!
After Stussy left, Shakky couldn't help but take a drag of her cigarette.
"Hehe, after all these years, this woman still looks as lazy and alluring as ever."
"But you, sir, are truly skilled. Even she is now full of energy."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shakky chuckled and exhaled a smoke ring, then turned and nestled against the sofa.
Beside him, Rayleigh patted Shakky's head with a sigh.
People their age, when they see old friends, will always feel nostalgic, no matter what.
Hearing Shakky's words, Gawain smiled and then shook his head.
"There's no such thing as time; after all, what everyone craves is simply what they want most."
For example, my ambitions have brought us together, and isn't that why we've come together?
As for Stussy, she doesn't care what my ideals are, but I want her to do exactly what he wants.
That's enough.
After speaking, Gawain raised his glass, and everyone immediately followed suit, taking a sip.
After putting down the cup, Gawain turned to his left and said softly.
"And you, Moria, you... you haven't been very energetic lately."
Even if I told you that our main task next is to take down Kaido of the Beasts is entrenched on Onigashima.
If even this can't cheer you up, then I really think I might as well just kill you.
After saying that, Gawain looked at Moria with amusement.
Meeting Gawain's gaze, Moria hurriedly raised his head. Having only been on the ship for a few days, he simply couldn't adjust.
Especially these past few days, he's been forced to fight with many people on the ship.
Although Rayleigh smiled, the monsters in Gion did not bully him.
However, among the Shichibukai, Gawain's group consisted of Jinbe and Crocodile, who were on their way to Water 7 to escort the flagship.
All the other Shichibukai fought Moria more than once!
So... cough cough.
Moria beat him up so badly he was almost questioning his existence.
Kuma is incredibly powerful; no wonder he's the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, he's practically another monster.
Moria even thought that Kuma was capable of competing with Mihawk!
Besides Kuma, the ruthless Doflamingo is Moria's junior. Doflamingo only rose to prominence in recent years, after seizing power in Dressrosa.
These juniors have actually Devil Fruit Awakening their Devil Fruit powers, leaving this guy who once rivaled Kaido bewildered...
And that Hancock, just a woman.
But this very woman is the one Moria finds most difficult to deal with!
Moria didn't dare to make a move because Hancock was Gawain's woman.
Hancock's leg techniques are truly amazing, and the effects of the Mero Mero no Mi on men are just too strong!
After all, the Mero Mero no Mi is something that even Blackbeard, who became one of the Four Emperors, has been eyeing for a long time. Once that Devil Fruit is decided, it's likely that anyone without Conqueror's Haki will be severely affected by Devil Fruit.
Even if Hancock hadn't Awakening Devil Fruit powers, she could still use Devil Fruit to restrain Moria.
Moreover, even without the Empress, there are skilled fighters like Shiryu Zephyr on board.
Even Ace...
That little brat who plays with fire, he can't beat Moria in more than two hours now.
After hiding in the Florian Triangle for nearly twenty years, Moria has become even less capable than a brat?
Have I trained myself to be a dog over the past twenty years?
Moria truly began to doubt his past actions, after all, before deciding to play the shadows, he could at least rely on his swordsmanship and Raimei Hakke to clash countless times.
In short, Moria's pride was severely wounded, probably from being beaten so badly, that he couldn't even lift his head!
Faced with Gawain's greeting, even though Gawain reminded him to be more alert, he lowered his head in surprise and shame, not daring to look up...
"Gawain... my lord!"
Moria said.
"You might as well just kill me..."
I... I feel like I'm really useless now...
Even if it works, sigh...
There are plenty of people here stronger than me; in fact, any random person could be stronger than me.
Even though I still think about challenging Kaido again, in reality, I'm probably already someone who's been left behind by the times...
At this point, Moria lowered his head, his dejection almost tangible, as if it were about to burst into flames.
Seeing Moria like this, Gawain chuckled and glanced aside.
"What's going on here? Tsk tsk, is this something Shichibukai would say?"
Perona, did you secretly use Negative Hollow on Moria?
"No, no, no!!!"
Perona quickly shook her head.
"I didn't do that. Lord Moria raised me, I would never do anything to hurt him!"
And then it suddenly occurred to me, sir, your ship is indeed teeming with talented people.
My Devil Fruit ability has always been very effective; if it hits, almost anyone will collapse.
Turns out, there are people on your ship who aren't affected by my Negative Hollow influence!
As soon as she finished speaking, Perona pouted and looked at Usopp.
Meeting Perona's confused gaze, Usopp blushed and quickly waved his hand to explain.
"Hahaha, what so-called Negative Hollow? Those things won't affect my enthusiasm!"
Not to mention a single Negative Hollow, even if you let hundreds or thousands of Negative Hollow crawl into my body, I, Usopp, will never show the slightest bit of cowardly negativity.
Because this is Usopp's heart, and I'm an incredibly positive person!
"Well..."
Hearing Usopp's boastful words, Perona pouted even more unhappily, then turned her head and whispered.
"You're so stupid, you actually thought I was praising you."
Clearly, only the most negative people are immune to my ghostly influence.
You're incredibly negative. I always felt that you even despise yourself, which is why...
Waaaaaah!!!
She had barely finished speaking when Uta covered her mouth with a kiss.
While gagging Perona, Uta said with a laugh.
"Hehe, Perona was just joking. Of course, Brother Usopp is excellent. You're a genius sniper that Aunt Shakky has her eye on!"
Let's not talk about those things, let's talk about something else.
Gawain, do you know that the skeleton uncle you brought back is the one who spends all day sticking to Laboon, playing in the water and reminiscing?
I've talked to him a lot these past two days, and that uncle is truly a very talented musician.
He not only taught me some music forms from previous eras, but he also taught me rock and rap!
I never expected that uncle's rock music would be so infectious. His death metal is definitely not just named after his skeleton.
In short, he is truly qualified to be my teacher. I never imagined I would meet such a respected senior musician!
As she finished speaking, Uta pursed her lips happily. In recent days, she had learned many ancient melodies for various musical instruments from Brook.
Each melody brings Uta considerable inspiration, and she always feels that she needs to write new songs.
Just as Uta finished speaking, Gawain Gion, smiled and nodded. Then, as if she had suddenly remembered something, she said to Gawain.
"After Uta mentioned the people we brought back that day, I suddenly remembered a guy."
Gawain, did you know that Charlotte Linlin's daughter is actually trapped on that Terrifying Roar?
"Indeed, thinking about it now, I'm also somewhat surprised."
Not far away, Rayleigh nodded slightly and smiled.
"Although Linlin really likes having children, her children can't be like ants that can spread all over the ocean."
To find Linlin's daughter in the Devil's Zone, especially one who possesses Linlin's Vivre Card, means she must have at least a certain status.
This is so much fun!
As he spoke, Rayleigh applied eyeliner, then continued with a smile.
"After all, with Linlin's Vivre Card, we can find her anytime, even if Linlin's on the run. That's so convenient."
If the situation on Onigashima hadn't been more unique, Kaido's ambitions would have been even more dangerous.
"Then I'd really like to use this Vivre Card to change our target from Kaido to Charlotte Linlin!"
