Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 197 Unshakable Will (6k)

When they arrived at the palace gate, the female warrior who had reported earlier was already standing outside waiting.

Nodding to them, Margaret led Reiner and the other three in.

Walking along the corridor of the front hall, there are mahogany pillars with carved beams and painted buildings on both sides, and several female warriors standing at the end.

Unlike the female warriors who protected the nation at the beginning, although they were slightly curious about Reiner and Zoro, they did not show any surprise as if they had seen something rare.

Margaret kindly reminded, "The ones in front are warriors from the Nine Snakes Pirates. They are all strong warriors who have passed strict selection and are able to follow the Empress. They are heroes of this country."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but reveal longing in her eyes. From Margaret's explanation, the few of them also learned more detailed information.

Amazon Lily is a country that values strength as beauty. All women are trained to be warriors from childhood. People like her are selected through layers of hard work to become a warrior protecting the country.

The selection requirements to join the Nine Snakes Pirates and follow the Queen to sea are even more stringent, and it is also the dream of most citizens.

Reiner couldn't help but think of the foremen of the Water Seven City Shipyard, who were also city idols.

Leading them through the front hall and coming in front of those people, Margaret bowed her head slightly and said respectfully: "Lord Rindou, Lord Ran, Lord Kiku, I have brought the members of the Straw Hat Pirates here."

"Thank you for your hard work, Daisy. Leave the rest to us."

The woman known as Gentian patted Margaret on the shoulder, a cigarette dangling from her lips.

She was only wearing a sexy half-length vest, revealing her tanned skin, with a short bazooka hanging from her waist. She raised her chin slightly towards Reiner and said, "Come with us."

Reiner and the other three followed them inside, while Margaret retreated. The three female warriors seemed to have very cold personalities and remained silent all the way.

When they were about to enter the hall, Long Dan finally couldn't help himself and slowed down his pace until Reiner passed by before he asked in a low voice: "Excuse me, that..."

"Well, what's wrong?" Reiner couldn't help but wonder when he saw that she looked a little embarrassed.

Longdan took a deep breath and looked up at him, suddenly saying something shocking: "Can I see your golden eggs? You have some, right?!"

"are you crazy!!"

boom! !

Nami behind her cursed with gritted teeth, raised her fist and hit her on the back of the head!

What the hell are you looking at?
"."

A group of black lines appeared above Reiner and Zoro's heads.

"Haven't you been to sea? At least you have seen men." Reiner was speechless.

Forget about the women on the island, but once you go out to sea, there’s nothing special about men. No matter how hungry and thirsty they are, they can be well fed every day, right?
More importantly, don't say this kind of thing so bluntly!
Be more tactful and let's make an appointment. If you show your flesh in front of the tiger, her fangs will affect me!
"Ahem, actually we seldom come into contact with men. Basically, the enemies we encounter are petrified by the charm of the Empress as soon as they meet."

Longdan explained with a big bump on his head, but the expectation in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

As a pirate, you do see men often, but the little contact you have is basically fighting. If you do something secretly and get discovered by the Empress, you will not end well.

Hearing this, Nami couldn't help but look around vigilantly, only to find that there were many women hiding in the corners, staring at the two men in the field.

She glanced at Reiner's strange expression again, and suddenly became furious. She reached out and grabbed his ear tightly!

Fortunately, I followed him into the city, otherwise this bastard would have been lawless!

Reiner grimaced in pain, "Ahhhh! Hashidou sack!"

"I'm still taking advantage of you!" Nami cursed and twisted her hand backhand!
--hiss!

Someone's soul ascended to heaven on the spot.

"Idiot." Zoro glanced at him with disdain.

He really couldn't understand these two golden-haired girls. What's so good about women? Men's pleasure is of course swords and wine!
The palace was not big. Soon, led by Longdan and the other two, they bypassed a martial arts arena and came to a hall with an excellent view.

The aisle in the middle of the hall leads directly to the throne on the steps, and there are low desks on both sides of the aisle.

Hancock usually handles most of her affairs here, and further inside is the back hall where she lives.

Looking at Nami who was dragging Reiner along, Longdan obviously knew who was in charge of this group. With a hint of respect in his tone, he said:
"Everyone, please take a seat. His Majesty will be here soon. We will serve you some snacks first."

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you."

Nami smiled and let go of the ignorant person. She pointed to the rectangular wooden box behind her and said, "This is a gift for your emperor."

Although she didn't know what Reiner had put in it, he said the other party would like it, so it was probably something quite valuable.

"Yes, let's put it aside first. Please take a seat and wait." Longdan nodded respectfully and stepped back, taking the wooden box away.

In this country where strength is considered beautiful, Nami's strength has won their respect.

The four of them split into two teams and took their seats. Besides them, there were many other female warriors on the field.

As members of the pirate group, they are allowed to move around here as long as the Empress does not ask them to leave.

"That must be Black Snake Reiner, the great pirate with a bounty of 520 million berries."

"And Roronoa, the powerful swordsman with a bounty of 200 million berries."

"The incident of them causing a big disturbance on Judicial Island a while ago caused a lot of controversy."

"You are out of date. I heard they caused a big fight in the Sabaody Archipelago, overwhelming this year's supernova."

No one came up to talk to them, but just looked at Reiner and Zoro curiously out of the corner of their eyes, and whispered to each other.

Everyone was surprised that His Majesty, who had always disliked men, would meet with them.

Several maids brought up food, fruit plates and wine and placed them one by one, also secretly looking at them with curious eyes.

"What a weird atmosphere." After the maid left, Reiner lowered his eyelids and spoke without hesitation. He picked a grape and put it into his mouth, looking a little dissatisfied.

It’s quite difficult to meet someone.

On the contrary, Zoro on the opposite side picked up the bowl, tilted his head back and took a sip of the wine, then put the bowl down heavily with a thud, grinning and saying happily: "What a strong wine, I've never drunk it before, I like it."

"That is the liquor popular in the Land of Daughters. It is rarely seen outside. Although they are all girls, you must have felt the toughness of the people here. If you like it, I'll give you some before you leave."

A short, white-haired old lady suddenly spoke up. She had a big square face and thick lips and walked up with a cane.

Zoro raised the corner of his mouth, "Then I won't be polite."

"It's okay, just a little wine. You can call me Granny Niu. I'm the national teacher of this country. Xia Qi has already written to me about your affairs."

Granny New spoke up, "Before Hancock comes, I want to ask you for a favor. Can you help this country?"

"There is no such thing as a free lunch."

Hearing her words, Nami turned her face away immediately and said dissatisfiedly: "We just met for the first time, and you want us to help you for no reason. You can't do it with just a little wine."

"That's right."

Seeing the other person's expression, Granny New lowered her head and sighed, "Forget it, just treat me as..."

"No, no, no, I mean."

Nami winked at her, rubbing her thumb and index finger together, and said, "It'll cost extra."

Since the other party is acquainted with Xia Qireli, they should not be bad people. If you want to ask them for help, just give them money. Then business will come, right?
"As the ruler of a country and one of the Shichibukai with the legal right to plunder, your emperor should be able to have money."

Nami curled her lips and pointed her index finger at the other party, "Tell me how you can help first, and then we'll consider whether to accept the job and the specific compensation."

Reiner rolled his eyes and said, "Nami, you came here specially, not because you want to make money here, right?"

I thought you were here to target me, but it turns out you were targeting someone else's treasury.

"Hehe." Nami smiled, confirming his statement.

Seeing that she did not refuse directly, Granny New took the opportunity to speak:

"You already know the identity of Snake Princess Shichibukai. Due to Ace's public execution, the World Government forcibly summoned the Shichibukai to deal with the war with the Four Emperors Whitebeard, but Snake Princess refused."

Refusing compulsory conscription means being stripped of the title of Shichibukai. The pirate nation of Nine Snake Island will lose its privileges and will inevitably become a target of the navy and be caught in endless fire.

As Granny New slowly unfolded the story, everyone understood the whole story.

She had been trying to persuade Hancock with all her heart and soul for several days, but the other party simply wouldn't listen.

The warship that came to greet Hancock returned to the headquarters last night after waiting for several days in vain. I am afraid that after the war, the navy will begin to settle the matter of Nine Snake Island.

Grandma New hopes that Reiner and others can help persuade her. After all, no one in this country can convince Hancock.

"So that's it."

Robin nodded slightly, then asked doubtfully, "Unfortunately, I'm afraid we can't help with this matter. Although we still have time to rush to the headquarters, there is no reason for her to listen to us."

"At least she will be willing to listen to you. Although I may not be able to persuade her, I still hope you can try your best to persuade her." Grandma New bowed her head and requested sincerely.

Granny New has lobbied everyone on the island who can talk to Hancock, and she will try any opportunity she can.

"That's not good. I don't really understand your emperor's strength, but..."

Nami looked hesitant, "That's the Navy Headquarters versus the Four Emperors Whitebeard. I can't persuade a woman to participate in that kind of war.
“If someone voluntarily sacrifices himself to protect the country, I will definitely only admire him, just like Weiwei did;
"But everyone is afraid of death. Even if it is to protect the country, we cannot force the king to take risks, after all."

Nami smiled and said to her: "Life cannot be measured by numbers. One person's life and ten thousand lives are both worth cherishing, aren't they?"

Reiner was stunned. How could Nami play such a cool game? !
Oh, this damn woman! I am completely lost!
After she finished speaking, everyone looked at her in shock.

Granny New opened her mouth slightly but was speechless. As the former emperor before the former emperor, and someone who had been in the Rocks Pirates, she naturally knew Hancock's strength better than Nami.

As long as you keep yourself safe, it will probably be no problem to keep your life even in a war like that.

But the other party said this.

One life or ten thousand lives are both worth cherishing.

"What a pure and kind person he is!" Grandma New said in a hoarse voice, feeling as if her heart was suddenly hit hard!

The entire hall fell into silence, and everyone had a look of disbelief.

They had always thought that the country was in crisis, although they did not blame Hancock.

Because the Empress is so beautiful, even if she is willful, it is forgivable!

But deep down, they hoped that she would accept the call and continue to protect their country with the title of Shichibukai.

But they never thought that when the country was in trouble, they would only think of letting the emperor take on this responsibility.

The female soldiers were heartbroken and fell to their knees on the ground.

"How could I have such dark thoughts?"

"I am really not worthy of following Her Majesty the Snake Princess!"

"I can no longer face Lady Snake!"

"I'm going to commit hara-kiri!!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Wait a minute!!"

Nami was so scared that she waved her hands and yelled, "That's not what I meant!"

What are these people doing!
Who on earth is that empress, and why is she so charming? !
"I'm not saying that the responsibility lies with you. I'm just saying that you can't force others to go to war."

Nami hurriedly explained, but when she saw that they didn't cheer up at all, she felt even more guilty.

She waved her hands again and smiled awkwardly: "Well, of course, if she is very strong, as a king she must bear some responsibilities, ha.haha."

Reiner stared blankly at the scene where everyone was kneeling down in guilt, then looked at Nami who was in a panic, and had a strange premonition in his heart.

It seems like you accidentally did something big!
In a dark corner behind the screen that separated the hall, a woman wearing a cheongsam, with a slender and sexy figure and long straight black hair, stood by the wall.

He covered his heart with one hand and supported his weak body with the other hand against the wall, as if he might collapse to the ground at any time.

Boa Hancock stood there in a daze, her eyes fixed on the orange-haired figure in the hall who was frantically trying to appease his men. Hancock had been observing Reiner and his party since they entered the palace.

She just wanted to meet Reiner and Zoro and see what kind of people these two were who killed the Celestial Dragons.

But he didn't expect that woman, a woman who was not charmed by her abilities, nor attracted by her beauty, and whom he had never even met.

Faced with the same problem, he considered it from a completely opposite perspective than others.

Even Hancock felt that this was her own country, but the other party felt that the country’s crisis was not her sole responsibility, and a person’s life was also worth cherishing.

Compared with my own willfulness, the other party is simply...
Hancock's face gradually turned red with shame, and she gasped and said intermittently: "Did I see an angel?"

"Sister."

"Are you OK."

Sisters Sandasonia and Marigorude stood behind her, looking worried.

The tragic experiences in their childhood caused great psychological trauma to the three sisters.

As if to fill the wounds in her heart, my sister's personality became more and more willful, and she always used her charm to gain forgiveness.

Originally, I just wanted to see Black Snake Reiner and Roronoa today, but I didn't expect to be truly touched by someone I had never met.

What other words can describe such a kind person except angel? !

"Sister, you should go back and have some rest."

"That's right, sister, just let us go and entertain."

Faced with the dissuasion from her two younger sisters, she simply waved her hands and took a long breath to calm herself down.

"That would be very disrespectful to the guests."

Hancock's face returned to its usual calmness and she slowly walked towards the hall, "I'm fine, let's go."

Looking at her back, sisters Sandasonia and Marygorude stood there in a daze.

"How disrespectful to the guests?!"

"Would my sister say something like that?"

The two looked at each other, both shocked by each other's gaze.

In the open space of the hall, Reiner and his companions continued to eat and drink, and the female warriors who had just knelt on the ground also recovered.

"Hey~~."

Nami lowered her head and sighed, "It almost caused a big trouble. Do you think we will be kicked out later?"

"probably not."

Reiner frowned and said in a deep voice, "Probably you will be directly charged with the crime of splitting the emperor and his subjects and mobilizing the people to rebel and be executed."

How would he know that? My hometown is very good at this.

"Nani!?" Nami's face turned pale with fright in an instant.

She didn't expect things to unfold like this!
I couldn't help but turn my head and look at Granny New, pointing at her nose and cursing, "It's all your fault, old woman! Asshole, if you hadn't asked us to persuade her, this wouldn't have happened!"

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding you, Nami."

"Is it funny!"

boom!
Nami cursed and raised her fist to hit him, and he instantly became obedient again.

"Cough cough."

Reiner looked at her from his position on the table and couldn't help but smile, "Honestly Nami, you looked so handsome just now."

Hearing this, Nami, who was still angry just now, immediately looked embarrassed and fanned her hands and said, "Oh, no."

That's when.

Hancock and the other two finally came out from behind the screen.

Seeing the three Gorgon sisters, the whole place immediately became excited, and the eyes of those female warriors all turned into love and they cheered.

"Lord Snake Princess!"

"Ah! I can't do it anymore!"

"Snake-sama, I love you!"

This sudden movement naturally attracted the attention of Reiner and others, and they all turned their heads to look at the leader.

She is tall with long black hair, and wears a cheongsam that reveals her long, white legs. Her pretty face and graceful figure are a perfect combination.

It is Boa Hancock, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the world!

The two people behind her were automatically ignored.

Nami couldn't help but sigh at her beauty, "Is this beautiful lady the emperor here? She is so beautiful."

"I think so too." Reiner nodded in agreement.

Hancock walked to the top of the steps, with a red and white snake coiled up to form a seat beside him.

She remained silent and did not sit down, but looked directly at Reiner and the other three below with a scrutinizing gaze.

The cheers gradually died down, and the entire hall became inexplicably quiet.

Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming weird, Zoro looked puzzled, raised his wine bowl and took the initiative to say, "Hello, thank you for the hospitality."

Since the other party invited him to drink, he might as well say hello, Zoro just thought so.

However, the moment the words were spoken, they aroused public outrage, and everyone loudly condemned them!

"How rude, you stinky pirate!"

"You must call her Her Majesty Snake Princess!"

"It turns out that all men are bad!"

Eh eh eh?
Something is starting to go wrong!

Reiner couldn't help but feel a headache. It was too noisy and it was not easy to take action.

"My name is Boa Hancock."

Hancock raised her chin high and said in a cold voice: "Today, you are allowed to call me by my real name."

Nami: "."

This character doesn't seem easy to get along with.

Reiner couldn't help but look back at Nami. The two exchanged glances tacitly and nodded in understanding.

She must be having trouble thinking.

The two sisters behind Hancock were also looking at them.

I couldn't help but feel anxious. My sister is talking to you, please respond, you bastards. It will be troublesome if you make my sister angry.

After all, they are pirates who dared to attack the Celestial Dragons. They have a natural good impression of them. If there is no falling out, they are still willing to entertain them.

Little did they know that Reiner and the others didn't want to do that either, but it was so hard to respond to this person's words!

At this time, it was Robin who spoke first and took the initiative to introduce herself: "We are members of the Straw Hat Pirates. My name is Nico Robin, and I am an archaeologist."

Since the other party has introduced himself, she can just respond in the same way.

"My name is Nami, and I'm the navigator on the ship." Nami followed closely.

Such a formal speech! Reiner couldn't help but complain that he had never greeted others like this since he went to sea.

Compared to the two women, he and Zoro are much simpler.

"Reiner."

"Zoron."

"I know you." Hancock said.

Reiner and the others fell silent again and looked at each other. It was really hard to respond to what she said!
In fact, Hancock was a little panicked because she had never received guests before and she didn't know what to say.

Seeing the atmosphere getting colder, she decided to return to her original behavior, sat back on the seat formed by the long snake, and said indifferently:

"I'm sure you all know that I intend to summon Black Snake Reiner and Roronoa. I just want to ask you two questions."

"Tell me what's the matter." Reiner said calmly.

Zoro also waited quietly for the other party to speak.

"first question."

Hancock raised her arm, lifted the hair on her neck with her fingertips and flicked it gently, making a pitiful expression and said in a soft voice, "Am I beautiful?"

"You are crazy!!!" the two of them started cursing instantly!
Veins popped up on Zoro's forehead, and he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "Forget it, what's the second question?"

"Not bad, I'm not so easily bewitched. Before asking the second question."

Hancock stood up and returned to her cold expression. "I am the user of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit. Anyone who has evil thoughts towards me will be petrified by my power. Let me test your will!"

As she spoke, she slightly spread her legs, stretched her arms in front of her, put her four fingers together, bent her thumbs, and put her palms together to make a heart shape.

"Sweet Ganfeng!"

A pink heart-shaped light wave instantly shot out from his palm and quickly spread towards the two people below!
"Want to test your will? That's interesting." Zoro raised the corner of his mouth and stood up and stood beside Reiner.

He allowed the so-called petrifying light wave to penetrate his body, and after two seconds, his body did not change at all! !

"How can it be!!"

"Onee-sama's ability is invalid!!"

The three sisters standing on the steps above had their pupils shrunken and their faces filled with shock!

Hancock's eyes were filled with disbelief. How could there be someone in this world who would not have evil thoughts towards him? !

She can even charm women, let alone men! !

Hancock naturally didn't expect that she would run into trouble.

"Haha, if you're not charmed you won't be affected, it seems like your ability isn't that great."

Zoro grinned and said calmly, "It's okay to deal with ordinary people, but how can Reiner and I, who have been practicing hard day and night, be shaken by you?"

Hancock smiled coldly, "Really? Look back."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Zoro turned his head in confusion and was suddenly stunned.

"You've been petrified!!!"

Snapped!
Zoro bared his teeth and yelled, slapping Reiner's gray stone statue hard, "How shameful, you piece of shit!!"

Why aren't you petrified?!

Reiner bared his teeth and cursed back, anyone with a brain would definitely fall for it!!
If he could speak.
　Two in one
　　I will leave Jiushe tomorrow and prepare to take on the challenge.
