Preparing to Leave, Garp Arrives!

"Mislanda, can't I stay with you?"

At night, in a certain hotel, Hancock rested her head against Mislanda's chest and asked reluctantly.

They were staying at a hotel some distance from Rayleigh and the others.

After dinner, Rayleigh had driven Mislanda out.

As for the reason...

He was worried that Mislanda might do something with Hancock during the night.

Shakky was incredibly shrewd with age and experience. She could detect even the slightest disturbance in a small bar. If she heard anything, would Rayleigh get any peace that night?

So he sent Mislanda out.

Hancock had secretly followed him, and that was how things had ended up!

"No!"

Mislanda refused outright!

"Be good. I'm doing this for your sake!"

"Mmm..."

Hancock wriggled twice in Mislanda's arms, hoping to change his mind!

But all she got in response was a smack on the butt!

"Stop fooling around. There's no negotiating this. Listen to me!"

"Don't worry. I won't abandon you. At most two years. Once I've become stronger, I'll go find you!"

Mislanda had absolute confidence. In two years, someone like Rayleigh would no longer be his match!

By then, nothing would be able to stop him!

"Get some rest. I'll keep you company until you return to Amazon Lily!"

"Oh, then hold me tight. We can't separate!"

"No problem!"

Over the following week, Mislanda did exactly as he had promised.

He stayed with Hancock and took her everywhere for fun, touring the entire Sabaody Archipelago together.

A week later, an old woman found Shakky.

She was Gloriosa, the previous emperor of Amazon Lily's predecessor—in other words, Shakky's predecessor!

Gloriosa!

Shakky called her Granny Nyon!

Just like Shakky, Granny Nyon had left Amazon Lily because of the person she loved. Several decades had passed since then!

Now that she was advanced in years, Granny Nyon also planned to return to her homeland and spend her remaining years there!

"Shakuyaku, I know what happened!"

"What about the three children?"

Granny Nyon could not help asking.

She had originally planned to return to Amazon Lily alone, but Shakky had unexpectedly asked her to take three young girls back with her.

What shocked her even more was that the three girls had escaped from a slave prison!

"Granny Nyon, wait a moment. The situation is a little complicated!"

Shakky then explained Hancock's circumstances.

After listening, Granny Nyon's brows drew tightly together.

"This...!"

For a moment, she did not know what to say.

Just then, Mislanda returned with Hancock!

The moment Granny Nyon saw Hancock, she was utterly stunned!

She was far too beautiful!

"Hancock, come here. I'll introduce you!"

Shakky pulled Hancock over and brought her before Granny Nyon.

"This is Gloriosa, the former emperor of Amazon Lily before the previous emperor. You can call her Granny Nyon!"

"Oh, Granny Nyon!"

Hancock greeted her politely.

Several seconds passed before Granny Nyon recovered from her shock.

"Good, good!"

"You three should prepare yourselves. I'll take you back in a couple of days!"

"Shakuyaku, you should return as well. Amazon Lily has run into some trouble recently!"

Granny Nyon suddenly spoke.

Hearing that, Shakky could not help rubbing her forehead.

She knew what had happened on Amazon Lily, but she was already a former queen.

Put nicely, she had left to pursue love. Put less nicely, she had abandoned her country!

In the end, Rayleigh stepped forward.

"How about this? We'll all go back together. The Calm Belt is still very dangerous, so I'll escort you!"

The Calm Belt was an extremely troublesome region.

There was no wind there, so ordinary ships could only cross it by relying on manpower.

But the most terrifying thing in the Calm Belt was the Sea Kings.

Under their threat, even Marine warships did not dare pass through lightly.

"Very well. I'll go pack as well!"

"Mislanda, what about you? Are you going?"

Shakky looked at Mislanda and could not help asking.

Mislanda shook his head.

"I have something to do. I need to go to the North Blue. I'll probably be gone for a year!"

"The North Blue?"

Rayleigh was stunned when he heard that.

Was there anything in the North Blue? Probably not!

"Don't worry about it. Once I return from the North Blue, everything will become simple!"

"All right, then. Be careful!"

Rayleigh thought it over carefully. There did not seem to be anyone in the North Blue who could threaten Mislanda.

Besides, Mislanda was so clever that he would not run into any danger!

"Mislanda, I'm leaving tomorrow!"

On the night before her departure, Hancock clung tightly to Mislanda and refused to separate from him no matter what they did!

"I know. After you return, get some proper rest first. After that, don't forget to train!"

"If you aren't strong enough in the future, I won't let you stay by my side!"

Mislanda was joking!

Hearing that, Hancock hurriedly promised that she would train hard!

"All right, it's dark now!"

Mislanda pulled Hancock into his arms and stared intently at her red lips.

"It's been so many days. Let me see how much my darling has improved!"

With that, Mislanda lowered his head and kissed her!

Marine Headquarters, Marineford!

At that moment, Vice Admiral Garp was assembling his fleet. It seemed there was a mission to carry out!

"Garp, according to information from the World Government, the son of the Dark King Rayleigh is on the Sabaody Archipelago. I'm counting on you!"

Three days earlier, Mislanda had made a move on the Sabaody Archipelago!

It had happened near a slave auction house, where Mislanda used the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to destroy the entire building!

The World Government had learned of the incident soon afterward!

Now Garp was preparing to set out and capture Mislanda!

"Don't worry. I won't let that brat get away again this time!"

Garp clenched his enormous fists, looking somewhat excited!

"Good. Be sure to stay careful!"

And so, Garp set out under Steel Bone Kong's orders.

His destination was the Sabaody Archipelago!

Since the Sabaody Archipelago was not too far from Marine Headquarters, they arrived that very night!

As soon as their warship docked, Garp immediately organized his men and headed out to make the arrest!

At the same time, Mislanda, who had been enjoying a massage in bed, immediately stood up!

With the support of Five Vision Omnipotence, Mislanda's five senses had reached an astonishing level. Combined with his mastery of Observation Haki, he immediately learned what Garp and the others had come to do!

"What's wrong, Mislanda?"

Hancock was startled by his actions.

But Mislanda did not answer her. Instead, he used the long-distance vision and X-ray vision abilities of Five Vision Omnipotence to observe the harbor!

Sure enough, Garp was leading the way toward his location!

"Hancock, hurry and find the old man and Shakky. Tell them Garp is here!"

Mislanda kissed Hancock, then quickly got dressed and headed outside.

"You'll probably have to leave ahead of schedule!"
