Navigation: Healing Warlock, top-tier healer for Whitebeard

He stepped forward, took her right hand, and then took out the bracelet that Lei Li had bought from his pants pocket, slowly putting it on her wrist.

'Looking closely, Aunt Xiaqi, you're actually quite pretty!'

At first glance, it might seem a bit ordinary, but the more you look at it, the more you appreciate its charm.

Unlike the gentle and graceful style of women from our land, you possess a wild beauty reminiscent of Egypt.

"From now on, your identity is Xia Xiaoqi, the daughter of Rayleigh and Xia Qi."

'Old Mr. Raleigh suddenly passed away from a serious illness. Aunt Shaki was devastated and followed him in death. Before she died, she entrusted you, who had lost your memory, to me (in marriage).'

'This identity is bizarre and full of loopholes, but no one can disprove it.'

"With you here, Shanks and the old guard of the Roger Pirates, without absolute evidence, should all refrain from directly opposing me because I'm your husband."

Loya is still wary of the Red-Haired Pirates.

After all, Shanks' strength alone is comparable to Loa's.

In addition, there's a first mate, Ben Beckman, who's only slightly inferior to Shanks.

If they were to join forces with Skobard Jabba, the third-in-command of Roger's crew...

The three of them working together are fully capable of killing Loya.

Moreover, Shanks is a self-righteous and arrogant man who is a troublemaker who moves between various forces.

Even during the Marineford War, they had to ask the Navy to grant them a truce.

Loya is secretly pushing for the upcoming "Super Summit War," and he will likely not be absent.

The key is that Shanks is also extremely intelligent; he might be able to figure something out.

With Xia Xiaoqi acting as a de facto hostage, Shanks and the others would have some reservations.

Loya reached out and gently stroked Xia Xiaoqi's face...

More than an hour later.

Loya, having only taken a brief sip, is now fully conscious, embracing (in a princess carry).

Nestled in Luo Ya's arms like a kitten, Xia Xiaoqi, her cheeks still flushed,

I stepped out of the basement and into the outside.

Near the ruins of the extortion bar, Sebastian, Kanu, and others had been waiting for a long time.

"All the items in the basement should be put away and stored in a special room in the ship's cabin."

After giving the order.

Loya sensed something with his Observation Haki and then walked towards the ship.

I just got onto the deck.

A blonde woman of marriageable age, accompanied by a purple-haired dancer, walked towards them.

"Lord Loya~!"

The blonde woman's name was Sally, and she was the stage actress who had been transformed into Joel Bonney by Loya using [temporary optimization].

Sally was also a pretty girl. After calling out to Loya, she was taken aback when she saw Xia Xiaoqi in Loya's arms.

"Her name is Xia Xiaoqi, she is the daughter entrusted to me by my deceased friend before he passed away..."

After a pause, Loya added, "She's already my wife."

While performing the "Permanent Optimization - Rejuvenation Surgery" on Xia Qi, Loya also turned her into a virgin.

Therefore, she has some difficulty walking now.

That was the might of China, a military expedition against the Queen of Egypt.

That is the beauty of wildness, a harmonious blend after being tamed by the power of civilization.

Loya cherished her, so he held her like that.

She has lost her memory and is very dependent on Loya, the man she first saw and who brought her joy, but she is also curious about the outside world.

Loya looked at the purple-haired beauty dressed as a dancer next to Sally.

She is a truly stunning beauty, with an extremely exaggerated body proportion.

"Greetings, Lord Loya~"

Upon seeing Loya, the dancer immediately approached him timidly.

'The "most beautiful female slave" at the Sabaody Archipelago slave auction, right?'

She appears in the auction scene of the original novel; although she's a minor character with no screen time, she does have a name…

"Her name is Passia, Lord Loya~"

Sally said, "Lord Sebastian and the others rescued her from the auction house... I saw she was a girl, and since she used to work in acting and dancing, I took it upon myself to bring her along."

"You did very well."

Loya primarily treats his subordinates with praise and rewards.

The task of discipline was left to Sebastian.

'Sally, along with Passia, their personalities and temperaments are indeed very suitable for the upcoming plan.'

Loya thought to himself.

"From now on, you'll work with Sally and take care of my two wives. Your salary will be 300,000 Berries a month, and there will be additional bonuses if there are any missions."

(Pele = Japanese Yen, 300,000 Pele is equivalent to 15,000 Yen)

"Do you want to?"

Loya asked Pasia.

"I am willing!"

Pasia whispered, her gratitude tinged with a hint of trepidation.

"Okay, take me to see Bonnie."

Loya smiled at Sally again.

……

……

The battle between Shiki and Kizaru.

It lasted for a day and a night before it finally stopped.

Although the two fought fiercely, neither of them was actually injured.

After returning to the Golden Lion, the Golden Lion used a Den Den Mushi to attend a banquet.

Inside the castle of the Golden Lion.

After the two had drunk several rounds of wine, the Golden Lion spoke:

“Brother Loya, I will do as you said. If the naval commander comes, I will go up and fight him, threaten him a few times, and drive him away.”

"...As expected, Admiral Kizaru left."

"It won't interfere with our plans for the remaining new generation."

“Hmm.” Loya nodded, waiting for what was to come.

"Hehe~" Shiki suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother, you've done me a great favor. Once the Straw Hat crew arrives on the island, I'll deal with them and then send those two beauties to you to warm your bed~"

"But a question suddenly came to mind, and I wonder what you, my brother, have..."

Shiki stroked the tuft of golden beard on his chin, his tone hesitant.

“Please speak freely, senior,” Loya said.

Shiki cleared his throat and said slowly, "Brother, do you only want those two beauties' bodies, or do you also want their hearts?"

Loya chuckled inwardly, but outwardly remained calm as he took a sip of his wine before saying, "If possible, I would naturally like to win their hearts as well!"

"However, this kind of thing can't be forced. I can only get their bodies first."

"Ah~~" Shiki nodded, then stroked his beard. "In that case, I'll be frank!"

“Please speak, senior!” Loya said with a smile.

Shiki smiled and said, "The whole plan to capture Straw Hat Boy and take over Impel Down was originally your idea, Brother Loya."

"But if you want to win the hearts of those two beauties, I'm afraid you can't reveal this information."

“Yes! That’s right!” Loya nodded immediately. “I know a little about those two beauties. To save Nico Robin, the Straw Hat Pirates actually attacked Enies Lobby, which triggered the Navy’s Buster Call.”

"It is clear that these two beautiful women have a deep bond with their captain and crew."

"Oh, right! That's exactly what I wanted to say!" Shiki said with a chuckle. "So, Brother Loya, in order to win their hearts, you can't let them know that the idea of ​​capturing the Straw Hat Boy was yours!"

"It's best not to tell anyone!"

"I will bear all the blame!"

The Golden Lion spoke with righteous indignation.
