Hachinosu Island Hall.
Hancock is trying to petrify a passing seagull with Mero Mero Mellow, Yamato is wrestling with Nana, Robin reads a book, Gion cleans the knife, Hiyori arranges flowers, and Perona eats the ice cream prepared by Nana for everyone.
The familiar Vortex appeared, and Allen walked out first, stretching. "Hey, everyone, I'll be back..."
At this time, Allen turned sideways and made way for Imu behind him.
Hancock Petrifying Ray was still facing the direction of the seagull, but his whole body seemed to be stared at by Medusa, and he instantly froze into a perfect stone sculpture.
Pupils trembled and lips trembled. "Then... who is that woman?! Why... why is she next to Husband Lord?! And she is wearing... new clothes?!"
At the critical moment of arm wrestling, Yamato's nose twitched suddenly, and then he jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. "Ouch! It smells like Allen! It's so strong! And... it smells so strong and dangerous!"
Nana scanned Imu up and down. "New face? I never heard Brother Allen mention it! The figure... is good, great!"
Robin was thoughtful and the book in his hand fell to the ground.
She pushed up her glasses, the lenses reflected light, and her eyes were filled with the shock and exploration of an archaeologist discovering a rare treasure. "This temperament... this sense of oppression that seems to have been precipitated by Endless time... is extraordinary. It is definitely not an ordinary woman."
Gion's action of wiping Kompira stopped instantly. He put his thumb on the blade and leaned forward slightly, like a cheetah encountering a strong enemy.
His eyes were solemn. "A strong sense of oppression... bottomless. Who is she?!"
Hiyori The hand that was pruning the flower branches stopped in mid-air, and the gentle and decent smile on his face had cracks like porcelain.
She tried hard to maintain her demeanor, but the shock in her eyes could not be concealed. "... Welcome."
Brother and sister Shalria Palace and Saint Charlos were arguing over a dessert. The moment they saw Imu, they felt like being hit by an invisible giant hammer.
Shalria Palace's scream was stuck in his throat, and Charros's snot bubbles burst.
Their eyes turned white, they fell to the ground with a thud, foamed at the mouth, and fainted from fright.
Allen seemed not to notice the mess on the ground and the frozen people. He smiled and stretched out his hand, hugging Imu's shoulders in a natural and forceful manner.
Imu's body visibly stiffened at the moment of contact, a hint of instinctive anger and humiliation flashed in her silver eyes, but was immediately suppressed by a deeper habit that confused even her.
She didn't resist, she just frowned slightly and looked away.
Allen cleared his throat, with a loud voice, as proud as announcing the headlines of the world. "Ahem! Everyone, please be quiet! Let me formally introduce you!"
He held Imu's hand tightly and took her half a step forward.
"This is Yiyi!"
"From today on--"
Allen drawls to create suspense.
"She is one of the wives of my brother D.Allen! Your sister!"
"As for her previous name..."
Looking around at everyone, the corners of his mouth curled up in an evil smile.
"... called Imu."
Time seems to be Freeze. You can hear a pin drop.
Even the wind stopped. Everyone seemed to have been cast a restraining spell.
Hancock's petrified face was cracked with cracks, and his eyes went from shock to disbelief to collapse and despair. "Imu? That legendary...? I... my love rival is... God?!"
Yamato opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff his fist into it. "I...Imu?! Allen said... the one behind the scenes of the world..."
Robin's ever-changing smile completely disappeared, his pupils shrank to pinpoints, and the pages in his hands moved automatically without any wind.
"Imu...Empty Throne's owner... this... how is this possible?!"
Gion The thumb that pressed on the knife turned white from the force, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.
She stared at Yiyi, as if looking at a walking natural disaster.
Hiyori The flower scissors in his hand clattered to the ground, and his gentle smile broke, leaving only shock.
Perona completely retracted behind Kumashi, only revealing a pair of big frightened eyes. "Ugh...Kumashi... We are going to be finished..."
All eyes, mixed with fear, awe, jealousy, inquiry, and confusion, focused on Imu like a searchlight.
After a brief silence, Imu's eyes changed instantly.
The confusion and laziness faded away like the tide, and the cold and majestic aura belonging to the Lord Empty Throne, which had been accumulated for eight hundred years, spread like a substance!
Although she was wearing an ordinary dress, she raised her chin slightly, as if she was wearing stars.
Her eyes were like cold blades, slowly sweeping over everyone in the room.
It paused briefly on the faces of Hancock, Yamato, Robin and others, and finally landed on Allen, with a hint of subtle complexity.
Her red lips parted slightly, her voice was low, but it could be heard clearly in every corner of the hall, with unquestionable authority and... a hint of her own unique arrogance. "What are you looking at?"
"My name is Yiyi."
"As for orders..."
His eyes swept over everyone again, with a condescending look.
"Except Allen,"
Pause, eyes stay on Allen's face for half a second, then move away.
"Don't even think about it."
There was deathly silence in the hall, except for the faint snoring of Saint Charlos after he fainted.
Hancock was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he didn't dare to break out. Yamato scratched his head, Robin's eyes became deeper, Gion's hand holding the knife tightened and loosened, Hiyori tried hard to maintain a smile, Perona held Kumashi and shivered.
Allen patted Yiyi on the shoulder with a smile, attracting a warning look from her. "Okay, okay, we all know each other. Let's get along well in the future! It's time to leave!"
He hugged Yiyi, ignored the messy and petrified crowd, and walked straight to his room, leaving behind a huge nuclear explosion-level shock bomb that took several days to digest.
The eyes of the girls met in the air, sparks flying.
An area was simply cleared out of the ruins of Mary Geoise, and a huge shed was built to serve as a temporary venue.
The long conference table was filled with bigwigs from all parties. The atmosphere should have been solemn, but there was a subtle sense of... absurdity in the air.
The chairpersons are Dragon, leader Revolutionary Army, and the new team leader World Government Preparatory Group, who looks exhausted as this job is really hard to do.
Revolutionary Army representative, Koala logistics manager, sharp eyes, Bello Belo Betty publicity director, always ready to yell at people with a microphone.
Former Navy representative, Sengoku, held a bag of Senbei, Buddha's Sigh and kept saying, "Hey..."
Marine Hero Garp, ate the refreshments on the conference table as if no one else was watching. "Hmm... this biscuit is good! Crane, some more!"
Crane Grand Chief Officer, sipping tea elegantly, but with sharp eyes as sharp as a knife, was writing and drawing in a small notebook, as if he was keeping a black account. "Garp, pay attention to your image. Also, that is the last piece."
Kuzan leaned back in his chair and yawned, with his bicycle helmet at his feet. "Ah la la... so sleepy... This kind of meeting is not suitable for me..."
