Watching Hancock's hurried departure.
Gloriosa and Shakky's faces darkened.
Is the Queen of the Amazon Lily about to abandon her throne and leave again?
Rayleigh and Gaban felt quite helpless about the 'traditions' of the Amazon Lily, which consisted of a group of willful women.
Golden Lion Shiki ignored these people and focused on completing his mission: relocating Amazon Lily.
He placed one hand on Amazon Lily and activated the Float-Float Fruit ability, gradually spreading his power throughout the entire island.
"If it's beyond repair, then Sandersonia and Marigold should be named as candidates for king."
"Captain Kikyo, the Kuja Warriors, and Marguerite, the Elite National Guardian Warrior, are both nominated!"
Gloriosa's expression was grave; she and Shakky both knew perfectly well what kind of mess Hancock was in.
If Hancock is determined to leave, they will have no choice but to quickly elect a new queen to stabilize the situation in the Amazon Lily.
If Sandersonia and Marigold were to follow Hancock away, they had other candidates in mind.
"That's fine too. Anyway, once the Amazon Lily relocation is complete, I want the Amazon Lily to retire for a period of time and operate discreetly."
"The power struggle Wang Shi Imu, the King of the World, and Goa Emperor, along with the war World Government, the Revolutionary Army, and the Four Emperors, will soon spread throughout the entire world."
Shakky exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed softly. Once the Amazon Lily was safe, it wouldn't be impossible for Hancock to leave.
In any case, Hancock no longer holds the title of Shichibukai, and is wanted and targeted by the World Government.
Leaving may not be a bad thing for Amazon Lily.
"Have you considered that even if Amazon Lily is relocated, its coordinates will still be known to Wang Shi?"
"Therefore, the safety of Amazon Lily will remain in Wang Shi's hands."
"Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to have Hancock follow Wang Shi; in some ways, she's actually quite good to her own people."
Gaban suddenly spoke in a low voice. From the moment he confirmed that Golden Lion Shiki had been influenced and controlled by Wang Shi, he already knew that Amazon Lily could not get rid of Wang Shi, this ambitious man.
They could only hope that Wang Shi would have some sense of morality, do what he was paid for, and not betray information about the new location of Amazon Lily.
However, having Hancock follow the Wang Shi was a way of expressing a certain attitude.
Anyway, Hancock is already in love with Wang Shi, so it wouldn't be bad to make Hancock one of Wang Shi's own people.
Besides, Hancock is also very strong.
I believe Wang Shi wouldn't refuse Hancock, the world's most beautiful woman.
With the secret support of the Goa Empire, Amazon Lily might be better off.
Even if Amazon Lily were to disappear for an era, they could still find high-quality men through the Goa Empire to reproduce.
The powerful bloodlines of the monsters under Wang Shi's command were quite excellent.
"I suspect that Wang Shi came to Amazon Lily in person because of Hancock."
Gloriosa sighed again. Given the Wang Shi's lecherous nature and the many concubines he had taken in, he certainly wouldn't want to miss out on Hancock, the world's most beautiful woman.
Now that Amazon Lily no longer has the protection of her status Shichibukai, Wang Shi can act even more recklessly against Amazon Lily.
Even if Hancock hadn't fallen for Wang Shi would probably have forcibly taken the Pirate Empress.
This current direction of development seems acceptable.
At least Hancock wouldn't rebel against the Wang Shi and drag the Amazon Lily back into the Abyss of war.
"Wang Shi's current pretext is to retaliate against us and the Revolutionary Army, to avenge the 'theft of the Shiki's and the 'invasion of the Goa Imperial Palace '."
Shakky kept a close eye on the situation outside through her intelligence network.
"That guy Wang Shi is cooperating with us and the Revolutionary Army on one hand, and with the World Government on the other. Now he can even kill Celestial Dragons and nothing happens to him."
What an ambitious and meticulous monster of a schemer!
"If Rocks had even half his brains back then, he wouldn't have ended up like that."
Rayleigh looked up and took a sip of his drink. Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes flashed with deep apprehension and worry.
He felt that even Benn Beckman, who was known for his unparalleled intelligence, couldn't compare to Wang Shi in the slightest.
Wang Shi is simply unlike any other human in this world; he seems to exist in another dimension.
"Wang Shi is destined to surpass Rocks, and may even reach the level of the Sun God Nika!"
Gaban looked at the distant sea and spoke solemnly; he no longer wanted to see Wang Shi.
He had a vague feeling that Wang Shi would soon set his sights on his secluded Elbaf.
Gaban really didn't want to bring the war to peaceful Elbaf.
Ever since Gaban learned from Wang Shi at the Dadan Tavern that Elbaf has a magical teleportation array belonging to the World Government, allowing the Five Elders and the Holy Knights to teleport Elbaf at any time.
He felt a very bad feeling and was deeply uneasy.
Loki, the strongest being in the Kingdom of Elbaf, has been forcibly suppressed, and Gaban himself is not in Elbaf.
If the Holy Knights were to invade Elbaf, could the warriors Holy Knights the Elbaf truly withstand them?
His wife, Ripley, and son Colon, are both in Elbaf.
He couldn't possibly neglect his wife's family, Elbaf, just for the sake of his good friend Rayleigh's family, Amazon Lily.
He wants to leave immediately.
So that the Wang Shi wouldn't use him as an excuse to go to Elbaf again.
It must be said that Gaban is quite intelligent, worthy of being called the "King's Hands" of the Roger Pirates, comparable to Sanji, the "King's Wings" strategist.
Wang Shi really wanted to continue 'pursuing' Gaban after dealing with the Pirate Empress, all the way to Elbaf!
Poor Prince Loki, burdened with the sins of being a cursed prince and a patricide, was forcibly imprisoned for four years.
Back then Red-Haired Shanks ascended to the position of Four Emperors by suppressing Prince Loki, who had a bounty of 2.6 billion.
···
"Now that Shiki has begun his actions, I believe Wang Shi will not go back on his word, so I will take my leave."
Gaban, who had absolutely no desire to see the Wang Shi, immediately bid farewell to Rayleigh and the others, wanting to rush back to the New World Elbaf.
Rayleigh and Shakky's attempts to persuade him to stay were to no avail. Gaban boarded a small sailboat and left Amazon Lily, crossing the Calm Belt alone.
"Hopefully everything will get better."
As Gaban's little sailboat turned into a black dot, Shakky spoke calmly.
Perhaps Gaban is right; having Hancock follow the Wang Shi is not a bad choice.
Anyway Hancock is already showing signs of lovesickness, having fallen for the unfathomable, Emperor of Exile, Wang Shi!
···
On the Exile Emperor.
"Ha, the World Government is really useless!"
Wang Shi saw the inside information that Momousagi Gion and Chaton Tokikake were about to be promoted to Marine Admiral, and smiled faintly.
Wang Shi's two moves, 'exposing Pluton's and 'exposing the forced recruitment of strong individuals from Affiliated Nation,' resulted in the World Military Draft not having enough time to recruit strong individuals, nor was it possible to forcibly recruit strong individuals from Affiliated Nation.
The World Government couldn't wait to go to Wano Country to seize the Pluton Battleship, so it had no choice but to appoint two candidates for Admiral to fill the Three Admirals positions.
"They've even lowered the standards for the Shichibukai; it seems they're recruiting cannon fodder to die in Wano Country."
"Did Weevil. still become Shichibukai?!"
"Tch, then let's make another Shichibukai rebel!"
