Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 261 The Empress's Differential Treatment

The night was as dark as ink, but in the Kingdom of Women, it was brightly lit.

A very large banquet is currently being held in the spacious restaurant.

In addition to the entire Kuja Pirates crew who had returned from their hunt, the banquet was also attended by special guests such as Goku and his friends.

At this moment, the women of the Kuja Pirates were stunned as they watched Goku feasting and gorging on food in the center of the restaurant, like a gluttonous beast.

"This kid can eat so much! He's eaten so much, but his stomach doesn't seem to be bloated at all."

"Shh! Don't call him that now. He's Lady Snake's friend. If she hears you, the consequences will be severe!"

Two women sitting not far away were whispering to each other.

"Slurp slurp!"

"Wow! This stuff is delicious!"

At this moment, Wukong was happily eating a bowl of noodles that was bigger than his head.

This is Gongzoluola Cheese Sea King Tube Noodles, a unique delicacy of the Women's Kingdom. When Wukong tasted this food for the first time, he immediately fell in love with it.

"Eat as much as you like, I guarantee you'll enjoy it." Hancock sat opposite him, not focusing on her own food, but looking at him with a smile, appearing like a gentle older sister next door.

But when she turned to look into the distance, the smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by her usual haughty and aloof queen-like demeanor.

"Tell the kitchen to make more of the Korzolora Cheese Sea King Tube Pasta, and make it quickly! If Goku gets hungry, I'll teach her a lesson!"

"Yes, Lady Snake Princess!"

Upon hearing this, a female soldier guarding the kitchen door immediately agreed with a serious expression and then rushed into the kitchen.

"Empress! Me too! I want another one!"

Sanji, who was next to Goku, couldn't sit still any longer and started showing off his presence with great enthusiasm.

Hancock merely glanced at him indifferently and said, "There's none for you; the rest are all for Goku."

Do not! ! !

Why is God doing this to me?!

Sanji put on the mask of pain, clutching his heart, so heartbroken he couldn't breathe.

Fortunately, there were many other women besides Hancock. Although they couldn't compare to Hancock in terms of looks, they were still quite beautiful. Sanji quickly turned his attention to these beauties and started getting along very well with them, who were very curious about men.

"Sister Snake Princess, if I offended you in any way before, I apologize here." Nami smiled and raised a large wine glass, gesturing to Hancock before gulping it down.

After learning that Hancock was willing to do everything she could to help them solve various problems related to travel and daily life in the coming period, she immediately changed her previous attitude.

After all, one is bound to be obligated to accept gifts and favors. If she were to keep dwelling on past unpleasantness, wouldn't that make her seem narrow-minded?

Moreover, the other party has become friends with Wukong, so even if it's to avoid putting Wukong in a difficult position, she has to put an end to their previous grudges.

"What happened before is in the past, you don't need to apologize to me for it." Hancock didn't take the past to heart at all, so she didn't care about Nami's apology.

However, considering that Nami was Goku's partner and that he had politely toasted her, she thought for a moment and then added, "If you ever have any trouble in the future, you can come to me."

Nami never expected that her casual apology would bring her such a benefit. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she seized the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Hehe, okay, okay, Sister Snake Princess, you're so beautiful inside and out! I absolutely adore you!"

After the banquet, in the Empress's palace.

There were only two figures here at this moment.

Grandma New held a crumpled newspaper in her hand and looked at Hancock with a serious expression.

"Boa Hancock, you must have received the World Government's summons a long time ago, and that naval warship outside the island was there specifically to pick you up, right? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

If she hadn't been paying attention to the newspapers the Kuja Pirates brought back from outside and browsing the news, she would never have known that such earth-shattering things had happened recently.

The capture of Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, by the World Government and his impending public execution at Marineford, is a major news story that rivals, and in some ways even surpasses, the impact of the Celestial Dragons' defeat.

In order to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, who were likely to come to storm the execution ground, the Navy deployed troops in Marineford, amassed a large number of forces, and summoned all the Seven Warlords of the Sea to meet them in battle. It can be said that the overall strength of Marineford was unprecedented.

If a war were to break out here with the Whitebeard Pirates, it would be an epic war of unprecedented scale, and the outcome of the war would affect the future of the entire world.

Hancock sat gracefully on Salome, her delicate white fingers casually playing with her hair, and said lightly, "What does this have to do with you? Why should I tell you?"

Grandma Niu angrily slammed her cane down, making a loud thud.

"Snake Princess! This is a matter of national importance! Fine, you don't have to tell me, but tell me why you refused the summons! Do you know what the consequences of doing so will be for the country?!"

After seeing the news in the newspaper, she immediately grabbed a member of the Kuja Pirates to get information and learned that Hancock had refused the summons.

Upon learning of this, she was both anxious and angry, so she immediately came here to question Hancock about why she had refused.

Why did you refuse?

Hancock stopped playing with her hair, looked up at Granny New, and then made an unexpected expression.

"Because I am so afraid, I dare not go."

Hancock looked weak and pitiful.

That pitiful expression immediately stirred Grandma New's aged heart, and she subconsciously said, "Okay, okay, if you're scared, then don't go, no..."

'

She suddenly realized what was happening, shook her head violently, and screamed frantically, "Aaaaah! Stop your damn charm! How can you refuse something like this! You need to know that if you refuse the summons, your Shichibukai status will be revoked! Then our country will no longer be protected, and the Navy will definitely come to hunt us down!!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, Nami obtained some newspapers from a member of the Kuja Pirates, whom she was on good terms with, which they had collected during their hunt, in order to learn more about the recent world situation.

Of course, the most important thing is to see if we can learn about the aftermath of their attack on the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago from the newspapers.

"Hmm... these are from last month's newspapers, how come they even collected this?"

Upon seeing the date of the first newspaper, Nami shook her head speechlessly.

News is all about timeliness; a newspaper that's more than a month old has long lost its purpose.

So she didn't even glance at it and immediately flipped to the second newspaper.

"Hmm... This one is from two weeks ago, I've seen it before."

The second newspaper was the World Economic News report about Goku fighting the Celestial Dragons; she had seen it from Granny New a week earlier.

She kept flipping through the newspapers, but they were either from a long time ago or ones she had read before.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up because she finally saw a new newspaper that had just been published a few days ago.

Well, actually, it wasn't new a few days ago, but since they live in a remote place isolated from outside information, what's new to them is news from a few days ago, and Nami is no exception.

"This is?!"

When her gaze fell from the date onto the newspaper page, her pupils instantly contracted because she saw a headline with rather explosive content.

"A week from now, the Navy will publicly execute Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, at Marineford?!"

She involuntarily read the headline aloud, her heart churning with turmoil.

Ace, whom they had met once before, was going to be publicly executed?!

This is just too unbelievable!

After her mind went blank for several seconds, she came to her senses. After thinking for a moment, she felt she had to tell Wukong the news, so she quickly walked towards a certain place.

boom! !

"Wukong! Something terrible has happened!"

Nami suddenly pushed open the door and walked into the room where they were assigned to spend the night.

In the room, only Wukong was there. He had just finished taking a bath and was drying his wet hair, preparing to change into a new set of clothes and end his wild man appearance of the past few days.

Seeing Nami suddenly burst in, he asked in confusion while drying his hair, "What's wrong, Nami? What happened?"

'

Although Nami wanted to tell Goku what had happened, she wasn't in a rush. So she let Goku dry his hair and change his clothes before handing him the newspaper.

"Look at this, Goku, Ace is going to be publicly executed."

Wukong was a little taken aback.

Ace? Which Ace?

It's no wonder he didn't remember immediately; a long time had passed since he met Ace, and the time they spent together was relatively short, so it's normal that he didn't remember right away.

However, when he saw Ace's picture in the newspaper, he immediately remembered him.

Oh, it's him! What happened to him?

His gaze fell on the news headline, and then his expression suddenly changed.

Execution? Ace is going to be executed?!

His eyes were filled with disbelief, and he stood there stunned.

Although he had only known Ace for a short time and they had only been in contact for a short period of time, there was no doubt that Ace was his friend. He even made a promise with Ace to have a formal sparring match when they met again.

Unexpectedly, instead of reuniting with the other person, he received the devastating news that the other person was about to be executed.

"I have to save him!"

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Wukong spoke with a serious expression.

Nami was somewhat taken aback: "Are you crazy, Goku! That's Marine Headquarters! They've gathered an immense force there. There are three of the Marine Admirals who gave us a terrible chase last time!"

"It's alright, Nami. I've gotten a lot stronger now." Goku smiled slightly, clenching his fist.

"If I run into that guy again, I definitely won't lose!"

In the Empress's palace, Granny Niu, having failed to persuade her earnestly, sighed.

"Sigh, since you're not going, then you'd better be prepared to face the consequences of having your Shichibukai status stripped away, Boa Hancock."

Hancock played with her hair and said calmly, "You don't need to worry about that. I'll take care of it myself."

Grandma New shook her head. It seemed that their country would soon revert to being the unprotected pirate nation it once was. In the past, it was difficult for the Navy to enter the Calm Belt to cause trouble for them, but now that they had developed new warships that could freely enter the Calm Belt, it would be much easier for the Navy to cause them trouble.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Goku rushed in, shouting before he even stopped, "Hancock, I need your help!"

Hancock, who had been casually playing with her hair, suddenly brightened up and jumped up from her chair, smiling sweetly, "You're here, Goku! No problem, whatever you need, I'll help you!"

"Are you going to Marineford? If you're going, can I come with you?" Goku asked earnestly.

After being unable to dissuade Goku from rescuing Ace, Nami had no choice but to accept it and offered her own thoughts.

They didn't know how to get to Marineford, but Hancock, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was summoned and would be going there this time, so if Goku wanted to go there, he could only hope that Hancock could find a way to take him there.

"sure!"

"You're going to Marineford?!"

A resounding affirmative answer and a gasp of astonishment rang out simultaneously.

Grandma New had just exclaimed in surprise when she looked at Hancock again, her face as if she had seen a ghost.

"What did you just say?!"

Hancock glanced at her and said indifferently, "I said I would take Goku with me to Marineford, what's wrong?"

Grandma New stared wide-eyed and opened her mouth wide.

Wait a minute, I just kept asking you to go, and you stubbornly refused. How come you're going now?

Hancock ignored her astonishment and smiled slightly at Goku: "You are my friend, and I will grant you any request. However, I must ask, what are you going to Marineford for?"

"I'm going to save my friend!" Wukong said earnestly.

"Your friend?"

"Yes, yes! His name is Ace!"

Hearing Goku mention the name, Hancock was somewhat surprised, while Granny Newt was even more astonished: "Is Portgas D. Ace of the Whitebeard Pirates your friend?"

"Uh-huh!"

After receiving confirmation from Goku, Granny New looked at him with an incredulous gaze: "You want to go to Marine Headquarters to storm the execution ground?!"

, 7

"Rescue Ace from the execution ground? What does that mean? Anyway, I'm going there to rescue Ace." Goku scratched his head.

Grandma New was a woman who had seen a lot in her life. Although the news shocked her, she quickly calmed down and shook her head, saying, "You can't possibly rescue him by going there."

Marineford is a place where the strongest fortress, which gathers most of the Navy's power, is located. Even Shiki the Golden Lion, who was once on par with the Pirate King Roger, was arrested and imprisoned on the spot after causing a great disturbance there.

It can be said that anyone who wants to cause trouble there will be suppressed by the navy with lightning speed.

Goku's idea of ​​going there to rescue Ace was, in her view, nothing short of suicide.

Hancock frowned at this point: "Goku, I fully support you going to rescue your friend, but that place is too dangerous. If you go there to rescue your friend, I may not be able to get you out of there safely."

Granny New nodded: "That's right. If you really want to save your friend, then going to Impel Down still offers a sliver of hope. Let me think... there's still one... 7..."

Before she could finish speaking, she frowned deeply.

"Oh no, time is running out. Even if you board a Navy warship now, you won't have time to get to Impel Down."

.

If it had been a day earlier, Goku would have had time to rescue Ace from Impel Down, but now it was impossible. By the time Goku arrived at Impel Down, Ace would have already been taken to Marineford and was about to be publicly executed.

Seeing their solemn expressions, Goku firmly stated again, "No matter what, I have to rescue Ace. I can't just watch him be killed by someone else!"

Grandma New sighed deeply: "Well, it's not entirely hopeless. The Whitebeard Pirates will definitely go there this time. With their strength, they might actually have a slight chance of rescuing Ace. With your strength, you can also help out if you go."

But you must understand that even so, the danger is still far too great. It will become a giant meat grinder, where any strong person could perish. Even though you, Goku, are quite strong, you could still die there.

So, do you still want to go?

"Of course!" Wukong answered without the slightest hesitation.

"A determination to face death without fear?" Granny New said with emotion.

"Then you only have one chance: join the Whitebeard Pirates when they attack Marineford and help them rescue your friend. And you absolutely must not show yourself until they appear."

Hancock had made up her mind and looked at Goku earnestly, saying, "I will take you to Marineford and help you hide yourself before the battle begins. After the battle starts, I will do my best to help you. Goku, I believe you can definitely rescue your friends."

Goku nodded emphatically: "Thank you, Hancock."
