Chapter 226: The Empress
"That...... Mom asked me to send you back. Charlotte Bryn looked at Ace and the others and said timidly.
"That's it, that's bothering you!" Ace looked up, looked at Charlotte Brynn on the boat, and smiled.
"I didn't ...... Never mind. Hearing Ace's words, Charlotte Brynn suddenly covered her cheeks and put on a shy expression.
"Huh." Ace looked at Charlotte Brynn's 'shy' appearance, maintaining a polite smile on his face, but sneering in his heart.
This woman is worthy of being Charlotte Lingling's most valued daughter, this acting is really speechless, if Lao Tzu didn't know your true colors, I would have almost been deceived by you.
However, Charlotte Lingling asked her to see me off, and she put on such a 'girl's spring' appearance in front of me, it seems that she is still trying to recruit me as a son-in-law.
Hmph, old woman with a thief's heart, I won't let you succeed.
Boarding Charlotte Brynn's ship, after hours at sea, they finally come across a ship, the ship of the Nine Snake Pirates from Amazon Lily.
"Hey, Hancock, everyone! ~”
Seeing the ship of the Nine Snakes, Wang Luffy looked very happy, standing on the bow of the boat and waving at the ship of the Nine Snakes Pirates.
"Sister, it's Luffy." Sandasonia saw Wang Luffy waving to them at the bow of the ship, and said happily to the 'empress' Boya Hancock.
"The mourners saw it." Boya Hancock replied coldly, but his eyes kept fixed on Ace's figure.
Mary Gorud followed her sister's gaze, also saw Ace's figure, and said, "That man, is it the [Yan Emperor]?" ”
Ever since they knew that Ace almost killed the Celestial Dragons in the Chambord Islands, the three empress sisters have been paying attention to the news of Ace, and it is precisely because of Ace's relationship that they will accept Luffy and let him stay in the territory of the Nine Snakes to practice.
"......" The empress didn't speak, just quietly looked at Ace who was standing on Charlotte Brynn's boat, she always wanted to ask this man face to face, did he regret what he did to the Draco.
A few minutes later, the two ships met on the sea, and Luffy and the three women of the Nine Snakes excitedly rushed onto the ship of the Nine Snake Pirates.
"Margaret, Japherandora, Spitdo, you're all right." The 'national protector' Kikyo of Nine Snake Island, who came with the Nine Snake Pirates, was relieved to see the three Margaritas who were safe and sound.
To be precise, the three Margarets, like Kikyo, are not official members of the Nine Snake Pirates, but are protectors who belong to Amazon Lily.
"We're fine, thanks to Luffy's brother."
"We ...... compared to this"
Margaret and Kikyo exchanged pleasantries for a while, then came to the empress, knelt down directly, and said in unison: "I'm sorry, Lord Snake Queen, we have caused you trouble." ”
"It's okay, stand down."
The Empress didn't even look at the three of them, waved her hand casually, and then came to the side of the boat and looked at Ace, who was still on Charlotte Brynn's boat.
Ace just raised his head, met the empress's gaze, showed him a kind smile, and then raised his hand to greet him: "Long time no see, Your Excellency the Empress of the Nine Snakes." ”
The first time the two met, it was on the battlefield of the top war, although they did not fight at that time, but they were also hostile positions, but they did not meet at that time.
Strictly speaking, this was their first official meeting.
"......" The empress looked at Ace with a hesitant expression on her face, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.
Seeing the empress's expression, Ace knew that she should have something to say to herself, and it just so happened that Ace also had something to tell her.
"Miss Brynn, thank you for sending us here, you won't need to send us for the rest of the journey." Ace greeted Charlotte Brynn, jumped into the Nine Snakes Pirates' ship.
"No...... You are welcome. Charlotte Brynn shook her head timidly, then plucked up her courage and said loudly to Ace, "That...... See you next time, Lord Ace. ”
"See you next time!" Ace waved his hand at Charlotte Brynn, then looked at the empress and said with a smile: "My companions are heading here, they should be here soon, don't you mind giving me a ride?" ”
"It's okay......" The empress shook her head, and then said, "Come with me, mourning...... I have something to say to you. With that, the Empress turned and walked towards the cabin room.
"It just so happens that I have something to say to you." Ace smiled and followed.
"Whatever you have to say, I'm going to ...... too"
Wang Luffy heard the conversation between the two and was very interested and wanted to follow, but was pulled by Sanda Sonia and Marigorud at the same time.
"Luffy, I want to know what you're doing at BIG· What's going on here at MOM, you stay and tell us. ”
"Mm-hmm, I want to know too."
Sandasonia and Marigorud pestered Luffy and said.
"That's right, that's okay." Wang Luffy scratched his head, and then happily told them about his work at BIG· What happened to the MOM Pirates.
Well, in fact, this guy can't say it at all, or it was Margaret and the three of them who told the story of the matter, and everyone figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
"I see."
After listening to Wang Luffy and Margaret's trio in BIG· After the MOM Pirates pass by, Sandasonia and Sister Marigorud look at Snake Queen's room at the same time.
To be able to fight with the [Four Emperors] to that extent, that man was already strong to this extent.
……
In the cabin, in the room of the snake queen, Ace and the empress sat opposite each other.
"First of all, thank you very much for taking care of my brother during this time, fortunately." Ace stood up, bowed politely to the empress, thanked him, and said, "I'll take Luffy away later, and I won't let him trouble you anymore." ”
"It's okay......" The empress waved her hand, and she looked at Ace for a while, her face tangled.
Looking at the empress with a tangled face, Ace immediately guessed what he wanted to ask, so he said: "Your Excellency the empress can ask whatever you want, as a life-saving benefactor for my younger brother, no matter what you want to know, I will tell you without reservation." ”
"Then I'll be blunt." Hearing Ace's words, the empress also plucked up her courage and asked him, "I want to know, after you beat the Celestial Dragon Man in Chambord, do you regret it?" ”
"That's what happened." Hearing this, Ace smiled and said, "To be honest, I regret it......"
Listening to Ace's answer, the empress's face showed a look of disappointment, but Ace's words later shocked her.
