The Visitor

As the Empress finished speaking, all the citizens of Amazon Lily were stunned!

"What?!"

"The Empress's curse, it's been lifted?"

"The curse on the Empress's back came from a monster in the Central Sea; how could it be removed so easily?"

"But this was announced by the Empress herself—do you think she could be wrong?"

"Just now, what did the Empress call this man... Divine Doctor Wu An?"

"That's right, Divine Doctor Wu An!"

Everyone stared at Wu An with fanatical eyes!

Because Wu An had lifted the Empress's curse, he was a benefactor to all of Amazon Lily!

Wu An smiled indifferently!

He hadn't expected the Empress to announce this in front of everyone!

He had originally intended to keep a low profile, gain the Empress's favor, and then repel the people from the World Government!

He just wanted to complete his mission honestly!

Now it seemed that keeping a low profile was no longer an option!

Once this news got out, who in the entire One Piece world wouldn't know him?

After all, the Empress was one of the Shichibukai!

Furthermore, she was the most beautiful woman in the world!

She possessed immense fame throughout the One Piece world!

And as the Empress's benefactor, it would be difficult for Wu An not to attract attention!

"Divine Doctor Wu An..."

"This Concubine has one more request!"

The Empress seemed to recall something and spoke cautiously!

"You want me to help your two sisters?"

Wu An shrugged, not minding at all!

Familiar with the plot, he naturally knew that although the Empress was arrogant and willful, she was also deeply sentimental!

Even though the slave brand on her back had been removed!

Her two sisters still bore theirs!

"Yes, just now, they were quite offensive..."

"I hope Divine Doctor Wu An will not take it to heart!"

The Empress glared at the two sisters behind her!

"No problem!"

Wu An waved his hand dismissively!

To him, this was just a simple favor!

"Thank you, Divine Doctor Wu An!"

The Empress was overjoyed, and she immediately looked at Boa Marigold and Boa Sandersonia:

"Why haven't you thanked Divine Doctor Wu An yet!"

The two sisters exchanged a glance, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you, Divine Doctor Wu An!"

"Alright, everyone, I still have matters to discuss with Divine Doctor Wu An!"

"You may all disperse!"

The Empress looked back toward the palace entrance and announced loudly!

After saying this, she led Wu An back into the palace!

Soon, An hour later!

Following the same method as before, Wu An removed the slave brands from Boa Marigold and Boa Sandersonia!

Afterward, the three sisters were all overjoyed!

However, Wu An could vaguely sense that the Empress's expression was somewhat conflicted!

It seemed as if she were troubled by something!

"Empress, is there something on your mind?"

Wu An asked directly!

He was quite familiar with the Empress by now.

Having transmigrated from a modern urban world, he held no particular awe for her, so his tone remained indifferent.

"It is like this."

"The World Government has sent an invitation to this one."

"They want this one to join the Shichibukai."

"This one is hesitating, wondering whether or not to accept."

The Empress spoke slowly.

Hm?

Join the Shichibukai?

Wu An was taken aback.

Could it be that the current timeline was set before the Empress became one of the Shichibukai?

No wonder...

The Empress before him now seemed to lack a touch of maturity compared to the anime, possessing instead a hint of youthful cuteness.

So that was it.

Wu An had a sudden realization.

"Divine Physician Wu An, do you think this one should accept their offer?"

The Empress looked at Wu An with anticipation.

Ever since they met, Wu An's actions had always exceeded her expectations.

Therefore, the Empress hoped that Wu An could offer some advice.

"By all means, join."

Wu An pondered for a moment before speaking.

"However, you shouldn't join too easily."

Wu An added.

Huh?!

The Empress was stunned.

Join?

But don't join too easily?

Was she supposed to join or not?

The Empress blinked her large eyes, her face full of confusion.

"What I mean is, before joining, you must establish your authority and display your strength."

"Only then will others truly respect you."

Wu An smiled calmly.

When it came down to it, the world of One Piece was a place where the strong preyed upon the weak.

If your strength is formidable, you can rule over a territory.

If your strength is lacking, you can only be enslaved and bullied.

After all, even among the Shichibukai, there was a hierarchy of power.

The Empress was a woman, which inherently put her at a disadvantage.

If she didn't establish her authority, she would undoubtedly be looked down upon and targeted.

"This one understands."

The Empress seemed to grasp his meaning, though not entirely.

However!

Just at that moment!

A loud, booming siren echoed from afar.

"What is this?!"

The Empress's expression shifted.

Immediately after, someone rushed in in a panic.

"Empress, there is a warship!"

"People from the World Government have arrived!"

The World Government?

The Celestial Dragons?

Wu An narrowed his eyes!

"I know why they have come!"

"They are likely representing the Celestial Dragon, demanding an answer from this concubine!"

The Empress said!

"Empress, the opportunity to establish your authority has arrived!"

Wu An said with a smile!

"Do you mean to slaughter everyone on that warship?"

The Empress paused, her face filled with killing intent!

"Slaughtering them all would not be establishing authority!"

"That would be creating a blood feud!"

Wu An shook his head!

"Kill the soldiers, but leave the leader alive so he can return to report!"

Wu An said indifferently.

Soon, the group arrived at the pier!

They saw a massive warship anchored not far away!

Over a hundred men stood upon the deck!

At their head was a tall, imposing man!

"Empress, I represent the World Government, formally inviting you to join the Shichibukai!"

The man leading the warship shouted aloud!

"Surround them!"

The Empress commanded!

Immediately, a large number of the Kuja Pirates rushed forward, fully armed!

"You?!"

The leader's expression changed drastically!

He had never imagined that the Empress would hold the World Government in such contempt!

"Empress, I am joining the fray as well!"

Wu An suddenly spoke up!

A surging, extreme battle intent rose from his body!

The side quest issued by the system was to repel the people from the World Government!

Although the Empress could repel them on her own, In Wu An's view, the rewards would certainly be meager if he did so!

After all, Wu An would have contributed nothing!

And the mission rewards were determined by the extent of his participation!

Therefore, for the sake of a generous reward, Wu An had to enter the fray himself!

"Divine Doctor Wu An... there is absolutely no need for you to do this!"

A look of being moved appeared on the Empress's face!

She assumed that Wu An was risking his life for her sake!

However, before she could finish speaking, Wu An leaped into the air and landed directly on the warship!

"Kill him!"

"All of you, attack!"

Soon, countless soldiers surrounded Wu An!

With Wu An's current physical constitution, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person!

Facing such a large encirclement, he was definitely out of his depth!

Not to mention, there was a man who clearly appeared to be the leader, watching him like a tiger stalking its prey!

Yet, Wu An's expression remained calm!

"Origin of Qi!!"

Instantly, silver-white flames ignited across Wu An's body!

Within Wu An's field of vision, everyone's movements slowed down by a beat!

Under the enhancement of the Origin of Qi, a single casual strike from Wu An was enough to send several men flying!

But very quickly, more people swarmed up!

Gradually, even Wu An began to feel the pressure!

Because, there were simply too many people!

They were impossible to kill off!

What a pity, my Origin of Qi is only at the primary level!

If I had the intermediate or advanced level, this entire ship of marines probably wouldn't be enough to kill!

Wu An thought with a longing heart!
