One Piece: The Emperor-Level Item Master Shocks the World

It wasn't because of what Lei Luo said, but because of his actions. No man, or any creature, could remain calm and composed in front of the Empress.

Moreover, the Empress had already gone to such lengths, yet this man before her remained so calm.

His actions, both before and after, were in accordance with the conduct of a gentleman.

Before watching, after the Empress took off her bathrobe, Lei Luo's behavior did not seem like that of a completely indifferent person.

But just now, he was still able to calmly drape a bathrobe over the Empress without any hesitation.

Simply summarizing it with the word "gentleman" would be far too unconvincing.

With this in mind, Grandma New's expression hardened.

Two words surfaced in his mind: strong!

That's right, the only explanation that barely makes sense now is the word "stronger".

Not only did Lei Luo demonstrate a strength surpassing that of the Empress, but he was also a formidable figure in terms of self-cultivation.

Thinking of this, Granny New felt a sense of awe towards Lei Luo.

The only way to kick out the World Government and the Navy Headquarters while still protecting Amazon Lily is to unite with a powerful figure like Rayleigh.

They need to make Lei Luo their new backer.

Although they have been spared from being held accountable by the World Government and even the Navy Headquarters over the years thanks to their status as the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

However, every year, they have to hand over a generous amount of heavenly gold to the Celestial Dragons.

These heavenly golds are no small sum.

Although it's barely enough for Daughter Island to pay.

But if this continues, they will eventually be drained dry by the Celestial Dragons.

If the Seven Warlords system encounters any problems, their demise will be the only outcome.

As Granny Niu was thinking, the Empress suddenly covered her mouth and burst into tears.

She then hugged Lei Luo tightly, burying her head in his chest.

Feeling the Empress's tenderness, Lei Luo couldn't help but frown, his hands nervously raised upwards.

This progress was far too fast, even causing Lei Luo to have some doubts.

If the Empress were to use Sweet Breeze on him at this moment, it would be 100% successful.

Therefore, he cannot be careless in the slightest.

After a while, the Empress's crying gradually stopped, and Lei Luo realized that the Empress had indeed been expressing her emotions.

Lei Luo placed his hand on the Empress's smooth back.

Even through the towel, one could still feel the empress's scorching heat.

At this moment, the Empress realized that she had been somewhat out of line, so she pushed Lei Luo away and said with a shy expression:

"I apologize for my rudeness just now."

As she spoke, the Empress tightened her grip on Lei Luo's arm.

The Conqueror's Haki radiated outwards, and Lei Luo gritted his teeth in pain, not wanting to disturb the Empress's emotions.

At this moment, the Empress said angrily:

"Thank you for doing what I didn't dare to do."

"I'm such a coward. I was so afraid that I trembled when I faced those scumbags."

"I promise you, I will go to the top to rescue your captain's brother, but I have one more request, and I hope you will grant it."

Upon hearing this, Lei Luo placed his hand on the Empress's palm and then said firmly:

"Tell me your requests, no matter how difficult they are, I will help you fulfill them."

Upon hearing this, the Empress blushed and turned her head away in embarrassment.

Grandma Niu looked surprised when she saw this.

I was immediately excited.

Unexpectedly, the Empress had the same idea as him.

If we are to break with the World Government, we need a new backer.

Otherwise, Daughter Island would definitely not be able to be saved.

At this time, proposing that the Straw Hat crew become Kuja's new backer is the best idea.

If you bring it up now, Lei Luo definitely won't be able to refuse.

Thinking of this, Granny Niu clenched her fists and looked at the Empress expectantly.

However, at this moment, the Empress, with a shy expression, raised her head and said:

"If I go to Marineford this time and rescue Portgas D. Ace, could you...?"

At this point, the Empress lowered her head again and paused for a moment.

Grandma Niu clenched her fists, sweat pouring down her face, and nodded repeatedly.

After a moment, the empress finally mustered her courage, clasped her hands together, and her eyes shone.

"Could you elope with me?"

Upon hearing this, both Granny New and Lei Luo showed expressions of shock.

It struck like a bolt of lightning, a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

Grandma Niu was surprised and stepped back, bumping into the door panel and slumping to the ground.

After a long while, he finally reacted, clenched his fists, and shouted:

"Hey, Snake Princess, what nonsense are you talking about? What will happen to Amazon Lily if you leave Amazon Lily!"

"Please, wake up!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of impatience appeared in the Empress's eyes. She then glanced at Granny Niu and said:

"Shut up, you old hag! I'm the emperor now, and I don't need your peeping!"

As she spoke, the Empress noticed Lei Luo's expression, then lowered her head and said shyly:

"I apologize for my rudeness just now. Please just consider it as me talking nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Lei Luo couldn't help but take two steps back. Faced with such an unprecedentedly beautiful woman, no man could resist such temptation.

But now, he really has no choice in the matter.

Even without the system's protection, failure to complete the system's tasks will result in complete annihilation.

Moreover, the Straw Hat crew has now become an inseparable part of him.

How could he possibly abandon his comrades for the sake of the Empress?

Thinking of this, Lei Luo couldn't help but laugh awkwardly:

"Your Majesty the Empress is quite the joker. Let's make some more reasonable requests instead."

"For example, the safety of Amazon Lily after Kuja broke with the World Government."

Upon hearing this, the Empress's face showed a hint of disappointment, then she said indifferently:

"It doesn't matter. I have a way to protect Kuja. Let's discuss how to rescue Fire Fist Ace."

Upon hearing this, Granny Niu could no longer contain herself and immediately shouted:

"Hey, Boa Hancock, that's enough! After breaking with the World Government, what are you going to use to protect Amazon Lily's safety!"

"Is it enough to just protect you alone?!"

Upon hearing this, a cold look appeared in the Empress's eyes.

He then flicked a stray strand of hair from his chest and said coldly:

"In my eyes, all men are the same. Whether they are pirates or marines, I will not show them any mercy."

Chapter 501 Eavesdropping Grass, Decides to Head to Impel Down!

Upon hearing this, Lei Luo frowned slightly, immediately understanding the Empress's meaning.

Indeed, he only sent the Empress to Marineford to help, but the Marine Headquarters also knew about the Empress's personality.

The Empress doesn't care about the other party's identity when she takes action.

This trip may not necessarily lead to a direct split with the Navy Headquarters.

But Granny Niu clearly didn't understand the Empress's meaning, and directly picked up her cane, pointed it at the Empress, and said:

"Please, stop talking nonsense. Planting the Straw Hat Crew's flag on our Amazon Lily will do more good than anything else!"

As she spoke, Grandma Niu took a few steps forward, as if she wanted to say something more.

But at that moment, the palace gates, which he had lost his reliance on, were pushed open.

Immediately, the Straw Hat crew, and even the members of Kuja, all rushed in.

Because it was so sudden, everyone lost their balance and fell to the ground.

This scene startled Grandma Niu.

Grandma Niu turned around abruptly, her eyes showing shock, and pointed at the woman with orange-red hair, saying:

"Hey, when did you guys get here? How much of what you just said did you hear?!"

Upon hearing this, the woman with orange-red hair glanced at the Empress and frowned slightly.

“We were already here from the moment you came in.”

Upon hearing this, a solemn expression appeared in Grandma Niu's eyes.

This matter cannot be known to too many people right now.

Especially the people of Amazon Lily, even the Kuja Pirates.

If one of them were a spy for the World Government, it would be a catastrophe for Kuja and even the entire Amazon Lily.
