"What's wrong, Chief?"
Bello Belo Betty looked at Dragon in confusion. There was something wrong with the Conqueror's Haki and the light emanating from the longsword Wang Shi. How come she couldn't sense anything at all?
Neither her Observation Haki nor her Armament Haki detected any danger of attack.
She felt that Wang Shi, radiating charm.
He was practically her perfect male god.
Belo Betty looked at the bright red 'slipper mark' on Dragon's bronze face and muttered to herself.
Could Chief Dragon be jealous of His Wang Shi's handsome face?
"Wang Shi's Conqueror's Haki might be a bit unusual, and his sword is also problematic. Don't look at his sword."
Dragon immediately unleashed a sliver of his Conqueror's Haki to shield Belo Betty from the Wang Shi's Conqueror's Haki.
Dragon's expression grew increasingly solemn. He had heard that Queen Otohime of Fish-Man Island possessed a unique Observation Haki that could influence the emotions and thoughts of others.
Could it be that the Conqueror's Haki of the Wang Shi has this effect?
Or perhaps it was the Demon Sword and the Wang Shi's Conqueror's Haki that merged and activated each other, giving it the effect of influencing people's hearts.
What terrifying power.
In the future, the Wang Shi will have countless loyal subordinates and fervent citizens.
"Yeah?"
Belo Betty still didn't seem to notice anything, but seeing Dragon's serious expression, she began to observe the others.
There didn't seem to be anything unusual, except that they were more excited and enthusiastic.
If such a great emperor had appeared in her hometown, she would surely have admired Wang Shi in the same way.
Such a good emperor is truly one in eight hundred years.
Dragon observed Belo Betty, his heart growing increasingly gloomy. Had the influence of the Wang Shi truly penetrated so deeply into people's hearts?
"Walk!"
Without saying a word, Dragon took Belo Betty and left.
A good reputation and image, combined with the influence of the Demon Sword and Conqueror's Haki, make it surprisingly terrifying.
If this continues, even the commander of their own East Army will probably become a fan of Wang Shi.
Belo Betty did not disobey the leader's orders and immediately followed him away.
However, the image of Wang Shi, with his platinum cloak billowing, riding Kirin Lion, and pointing his sword to the sky, was already deeply etched into her mind.
Meanwhile, on another towering building, there's the Tyrant Kuma.
Looking at Wang Shi, a hint of admiration and longing flashed in their eyes.
If only their family's hometown were in the Goa Empire, if only he and Ginny could live happily there.
If it weren't for King Bekori's atrocities, he and Ginny might never have joined the Revolutionary Army, as long as they could have lived peacefully and happily.
He really didn't like fighting; he just wanted to be an honest priest and heal people's illnesses.
"This task will not be easy to complete."
Kuma sighed. Saint Saturn wanted him to figure out the strength of the One Emperor and Three Marquesses. He might end up like Sand Crocodile, killed by the Wang Shi.
···
On the Exile Emperor.
"Your Majesty~"
Baby5 was completely infatuated with Wang Shi, her face flushed, leaning against the railing.
Reiju, Nojiko, and Maya weren't in much better shape.
Nami and Kaya were trembling all over, wishing they could immediately offer themselves to the Wang Shi; they couldn't wait any longer.
Wearing a mask, Nico Robin looked at that sacred figure, and her cold heart was filled with boundless warmth. The shackles on her body were removed, and her shoulders felt much lighter.
Wang Shi knew more Poneglyph than she did, and he hid them so well that he could still "chat freely" with the Five Elders. What did she, a descendant of Ohara, have to fear?
"Haki domineering!"
Burgess' eyes were filled with admiration; he remembered Wang Shi's words deeply.
One day he returned to his hometown Stoia Island.
He also wanted to shout: 'Stoja, your champions are back!'
Coincidentally, Aramaki was thinking the same thing at that moment.
He was already thinking about how he should appear before those bastards like King Keiji VI, Prince Taya, Grand Duke Harada, and Harada Shinagawako after returning to the Taya Kingdom of the South Sea.
Then add: 'Taya, your Grand Duke of the Aramaki has returned!'
Burgess and Aramaki were all smiles, lost in their fantasies, and excitedly licked their lips.
The other Baron and soldiers were equally filled with excitement and anticipation.
Returning home in glory feels so good!
···
Under Wang Shi's leadership, the three warships entered the Royal Port.
Countless people cheered to welcome their expeditionary heroes.
Even the newly joined Baron and soldiers are heroes of the Goa Empire.
"I love this feeling!"
"Hahaha, me too!"
Aramaki and Burgess thoroughly enjoyed the grand spectacle of being the center of attention.
Even Zoro and Van Augur, those reserved and expressionless men, showed smiles.
Who says they don't like excitement? They absolutely love this kind of grand, enthusiastic welcome.
Let the flowers and cheers from the beautiful women be even more enthusiastic.
Sanji, that lecherous guy, wasn't willing to let go of any of the flowers and dolls thrown at him by the beautiful women. His arms were already full of flowers, and he even had several bouquets between his thighs, so he fell behind.
His eyes were full of hearts; he was determined to take all these flowers and gifts back to Baratie and show them off to old man Zeff, Patty, and Carne.
This is a treasure trove no less valuable than All Blue.
As the Kirin Lion landed, Empress Sally was the first to rush towards the Wang Shi and hug her man tightly.
"I miss you, Wang."
Empress Sally kissed the Wang Shi heavily without any hesitation, her whole body trembling.
She missed this man terribly.
If there's another voyage, she wants to go with it.
This really benefits Reiju and Baby5, those two imperial concubines.
The imperial concubines behind them also came forward to salute the Wang Shi.
However, they were not as favored as Empress Sally, who could freely ask for kisses and hugs.
Wang Shi, holding Empress Sally's hand, greeted these concubines who had been married into the royal family; after all, they were women who had once stirred up storms.
Next came the welcoming ceremony for the kings, queens, princes, nobles of Goa, and other high-ranking nobles from Affiliated Nation.
The Wang Shi kept everything simple, quickly handling the aristocratic etiquette, and then delivered a one-and-a-half-hour speech to respond to the people's enthusiasm.
Finally, amidst the cheers of the crowd, he led everyone back to the Goa Imperial Palace.
Inside the palace, a grand banquet had already been prepared, with Zeff as the head chef.
This was another busy introductory and exchange conference.
A considerable amount of time was spent both introducing these new Baron and dealing with the flattery of the king and nobles.
The three Marquess, in particular, were revered by countless people.
However, Yixiao and Spaden were not used to these kinds of interpersonal interactions, but Aramaki took on all the praise for them, which made him very happy and satisfied.
This grand feast did not come to a complete end until late at night.
Meanwhile, Wang Shi and his empresses and concubines would continue with a grand cream puff party to ease their longing.
The next day, as expected, the grand scene of Wang Shi's triumphant return made Big News.
This allowed the world to once again understand the power of the Goa Empire.
The might of the Overlord of the East Blue, with a hundred nations paying tribute this time, was unparalleled in its prowess.
Wang Shi the Emperor of Exile, Wang Shi, arrived, he ushered in a new era in the East Blue.
