One Piece: I am the Empress, and the more sycophants I have, the stronger I become.

The atmosphere in the port was as still as iron. The murderous intent of the CP0 and the oppressive feeling of the naval fleet intertwined to form an invisible net, enveloping Hancock and her party who were about to board the ship.

Sandasonia and Marigold's eyes flashed, and they instantly entered battle mode.

A powerful aura erupted, creating a sharp confrontation with the opponent.

Arya, like a hound guarding its master, stared intently at the CP0 leader, as if she were about to pounce on him at any moment.

At this critical moment, an untimely, clinging, and urgent voice broke the silence.

"Stop! All of you, stop!"

Saint Charles, who was sitting on the palanquin, suddenly pushed away the guards who were trying to dissuade him and clumsily climbed down.

He wore a comical bubble headgear, his face a mixture of lingering fear and a morbid obsession.

He walked quickly toward Hancock, but stopped timidly a few steps away.

He rubbed his hands together, speaking in an almost shy tone.

The image, placed on his fat face, only looked utterly repulsive. He stammered as he spoke to Hancock:

"Beautiful...beautiful lady! You...you're leaving already? No...don't leave so soon! Stay a few more days, okay? I...I can give you my best palace! I can give you my most beautiful slaves!"

He completely ignored the tense atmosphere between the CP0 and the Navy around him, his eyes only fixed on Hancock.

His humble and ingratiating demeanor formed an absurd and laughable contrast with his status as a nobleman from the world.

Hancock felt a wave of nausea wash over her as she looked at the disgusting scene before her.

Is this the power of a "basic simp"?

Or are the Celestial Dragons simply abnormal to an extreme degree?

She resisted the urge to kick him into the sea with a "fragrant kick".

His face maintained that cold and arrogant mask, and he merely let out a soft hum from his nose:

"snort."

To Charles Saint, this lukewarm response seemed like a form of tacit approval and encouragement.

He became even more excited: "You...you agreed? That's wonderful! I..."

"Your Highness Charlos!"

The CP0 leader finally lost his temper, his voice booming as if pulled from an ice cave, filled with suppressed rage.

"Please be mindful of your status! She is a sinner who has disrespected the World Government!"

"What sinner! I won't allow you to talk about her like that!"

Charlos Saint turned around and yelled at the CP0 leader, then turned to Hancock and put on a fawning smile.

"Beautiful lady, they...they're just being silly, please don't mind them...you...please be careful on your journey, and be sure to come back to see me again!"

He even tried to reach out and take Hancock's hand, but was scared away by a cold look from her.

He could only stand there awkwardly, staring blankly.

The faces of the CP0 leader and other members beneath their masks were so black they looked like they could drip water, and their hands, gripping their weapons, trembled slightly with extreme rage.

shame!

This is an unprecedented disgrace in the 800-year history of world governments!

A Celestial Dragon, in full view of everyone, so humbly fawned over a Shichibukai who had attacked him, and that Shichibukai was a woman!

Lieutenant Generals Storoberry and Onigumo were also stunned; the scene before them completely overturned their understanding.

All their prepared arguments and plans seemed pale and powerless in the face of this absurd reality.

Hancock took a deep breath, suppressing the nausea in her throat.

She stopped looking at the disgusting Celestial Dragon and glanced at the CP0 members with their ashen faces and the bewildered Marines.

A faint, mocking smile played at the corners of his lips.

"It seems that no lackeys here want to continue their 'sparring'."

She waved her hand lazily, "Then, I'll take my leave."

She turned around, her scarlet skirt tracing a resolute arc, and stepped onto the gangplank of the Kuja Pirate Ship first.

Sandasonia and Marigold followed closely behind, watching their backs warily.

Arya glared at CP0 one last time and followed them.

No one dared to stop them.

CP0 dared not take forceful action under Charlos Saint's explicit protection, as that would thoroughly enrage the Celestial Dragons.

The Navy dared not act without CP0 support and clear orders.

He faces alone a Shichibukai who has just displayed terrifying strength and whose background seems unfathomable.

They could only watch helplessly as the magnificent pirate ship, towed by a snake, slowly sailed away from the port.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting bubbles and light and shadows surrounding the Sabaody Archipelago.

Charles Saint stood on the dock, waving his hand absently until the ship disappeared into the horizon, before reluctantly lowering it, muttering to himself.

"You must come back..."

The CP0 leader slammed his fist into the shipping container next to him, and the hard metal dented instantly.

What a shame!

He swears he will not be a man if he does not avenge this!

Hancock, who was already far from the port, stood at the bow of the ship, facing the sea breeze.

Finally, I let out a long sigh of relief, exhaling the stale air and nausea from my chest.

Using such scum is truly an insult to my hands.

She felt cold inside.

Although he knew through the system that Charles Saint had become his "junior simp".

In some ways, it can be considered a usable pawn, and it may play an unexpected role in certain situations in the future.

But just thinking about his appearance and identity made Hancock's killing intent boil over.

just wait.

She gazed sharply at the distant blue sea.

Once I have enough power, the first people I will settle accounts with are you so-called creators!

Even if you become a high-class sycophant, I will still personally kick you into hell.
