Chapter IV. The Empress's friendship
It seems that Li Hao was too worried, after going to the island, although the empress was too polite to him, there was no such thing as Li Hao thought, 'nothing to do, no treachery or theft', the wine and food sent were not poisonous, and there were no five hundred axes in ambush outside the banquet hall, and there was no cup for the number, chopping Li Hao into meat sauce or something....
In a word... Well, it's politeness and enthusiasm, that attitude, so that Li Hao can't help but wonder if he has awakened something like an affinity aura, and has a good affinity bonus for strangers, after all, even if it is the protagonist Luffy who flew the Tianlong people like the original book, he didn't see how polite the empress was to him at the beginning.
Li Hao raised his glass and drank wine, and glanced at the empress without a trace, although this enthusiasm was a little unnatural, but he didn't feel that she had any other thoughts.
It seems that I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but there is no harm in being careful.
Although he didn't know that his current bounty was already three billion, before he left the One Piece world, the bounty was already so high, if he took his head to the navy, it would be worth the Nine Snake Pirates going to sea to loot ten times!
Even if Li Hao knew that she had a grudge against the Tianlong people, she might have a good impression of herself who had slaughtered the Tianlong people, but if he was completely reassured, it would be unlikely, after all, ...... The empress, she's also a pirate!
Halfway through the banquet, the empress took the lead, and it didn't take long for someone to find Li Hao and invite the empress, "Your Excellency Li Hao, Lord Snake Ji invites you to the palace for a while." ”
Li Hao has nothing to do, he also wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in the empress's gourd, and in addition, the way to leave the windless zone, he should also ask, after all, he doesn't want to go around in the windless zone for ten days and half a month, then in addition to the sea or the sea, he is about to vomit when he sees it.
The female official took Li Hao straight to the empress's bedroom, and then said through the palace gate: "Lord Snake Ji, Your Excellency Li Hao has already brought it. ”
"Well, I see, you go down first." The empress's voice came from inside, "Mr. Li Hao, please come in." ”
Li Hao nodded, bothered, and then pushed the door in, "Excuse me." ”
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the empress leaning on the snake chair coiled by her pet snake, looking directly at Li Hao.
"Mr. Li Hao, please be seated."
"Thank you." Li Hao nodded in gratitude, sat down opposite the empress according to his words, and then said again, "I don't know if Lord Snake Ji called me over, is there something wrong?" In addition, I don't know if the method of leaving the windless zone can be accepted? ”
"The eternal pointer to the outer islands of the windless belt has been prepared, and if needed, it is also possible for the Nine Snake Pirates led by the concubine to take Mr. out of this sea, so please don't worry about this matter anymore."
The empress glanced at it, then lowered her gaze, "As for calling Mr. Li Hao over now, it's for another matter.... The concubine wanted to express her gratitude to Mr. Li Hao in person. ”
"Thanks?" Although she knew that she was probably referring to the Tianlong people, Li Hao couldn't show it, so could it be difficult to say to others directly, 'I know, it's because you have been a slave of the Tianlong people'?
If you really say that, people may turn against you in the next second, believe it or not?
"Hmm." The empress nodded, then stood up and began to undress....
Li Hao: "...."What kind of god is this?! Why are you taking off your clothes?!
Fortunately, the empress turned her body around while unraveling.... Li Hao probably understood what she was going to do.
Sure enough, the empress lifted the long hair that was scattered on her back, revealing her smooth and white back... The only thing that makes people feel flawed is that there is an abrupt hoof-like imprint on the skin that looks like clotted jade.
Dragon's Hoof! Slave symbol of the Draconian!
"Seeing this, I think Mr. Li Hao understands everything.....
Li Hao: "..... "I already knew it, and to be honest, I still don't understand, just say it, why do you have to take off your clothes?" Do you have to show this mark? Do you send benefits?
Without waiting for Li Hao to answer, the empress continued: "As I want to tell you, I was once bought as a slave by the Tianlong people, and I never want to remember that miserable time, but I can't forget it for the rest of my life.
For this reason, the concubine body has been haunted by this nightmare for many years, dreaming of that nightmarish day countless times, and then waking up..... The concubine didn't know how many times she had thought about killing those Tianlong people, but the concubine couldn't do anything like that.
That damn Draco, Sticky Richard Saint! When I heard that his entire family had perished in the hands of Mr. Li Hao, the concubine couldn't help but cry with joy, because I knew that the nightmare that entangled the concubine was finally over..."
Well, if you say that, I probably understand, I slaughtered your enemy, and you are so polite and warm to me, it is completely reasonable.
But I still don't understand, why are you taking off your clothes?
"Ahem.. That's just what I'm supposed to do, it's not a pity to die like a scum like the Celestial Dragons. Li Hao glanced at the empress with his back to him, and couldn't help but remind, "Also, Lord Snake Ji is still wearing clothes, that mark.... You don't want to be seen, don't push yourself anymore. ”
The empress just smiled faintly, put her clothes back on, then turned around and said, "When I used to be, I really didn't want anyone to find this mark.
But now, it doesn't matter, because Sticky Richard Saint is dead, and this mark doesn't have to be kept anymore, I just want Mr. Li Hao to see it with his own eyes, I want Mr. Li Hao to know that you saved me...
Then, the concubine will destroy it and cover it up, along with the unbearable past. ”
This kind of thing like a tattoo, if the empress really wants to get rid of it, it's actually not difficult, just like the Sun Pirates once changed it to the mark of the sun? Didn't the Aaron Pirates tattoo on Nami's shoulder change the shape and image to a windmill and an orange?
And the reason why the empress has kept this Tianxiang Dragon Hoof is completely because of a certain hatred mentality, she wants to let herself remember that hatred, and then not forget revenge.
But because of the identity of those Tianlong people, as well as her identity as the empress of Nine Snake Island, she couldn't do that kind of thing, and she couldn't bring the entire Nine Snake Island into danger because of her personal enmity, so she could only ferment her hatred in the bottom of her heart, secretly suffering and suffocating, but she couldn't do anything.
And more than two years ago, Li Hao made a big fuss about the holy land of Maryjoy, and directly 'nuclearized' the so-called holy land with a thunderbolt, and her enemy's entire family was wiped out in the thunder that washed the world.... It is precisely because of this that she is so concerned about Li Hao, a benefactor, and even thinks of coming forward to help Li Hao when the world government and the navy are chasing him.
Li Hao smiled, "Isn't that good?" Those Celestial Dragons have gone to hell to atone for their deeds, you don't have to care about these things anymore, after getting rid of them, your life will definitely be better. ”
"Thanks to Mr. Li Hao's auspicious words, Sanda, Mary, you can also come out, our three sisters, we want to formally thank Mr. Li Hao."
As soon as the Empress finished speaking, her two younger sisters stepped out of the cubicles of the dormitory and stood side by side with their sisters.
"Thank you, Mr. Li Hao, for your kindness." All three of them bowed to Li Haoshen.
When thanking and apologizing, it is common sense to lower your head to 90 degrees and then expose your breasts... No matter what this guy is talking about in his heart, at least on the surface, he is still very decent.
"It doesn't have to be like this, a tumor like the Tianlong people, everyone will be punished..."
Because the three sisters of the empress wanted to officially hold a thank-you banquet to Li Hao, Li Hao stayed on Nine Snake Island for another day, and it was not until noon the next day that he took the eternal pointer he got from the empress and prepared to leave on the road.
At the dock portal of Nine Snake Island, the empress said goodbye to Li Hao, "Mr. Li Hao, I'm sorry, because I waited for the Nine Snake Pirates to just return from overseas, so I can't personally send you out of the windless zone....
Also, if you have time in the future, please be sure to come back to Nine Snake Island and come back to visit us.
Finally, if the husband encounters any trouble outside, please be sure to inform the concubine, no matter what it is, the concubine has decided to help! ”
"In this way, I will thank you in advance." Li Hao nodded with a smile, he ran to Nine Snake Island once, and the harvest was not bad, in addition to getting the way to leave the windless zone, he also gained the friendship of the empress, the lord of a country, which should be very helpful for his plan to make a 'big news'.
"Lord Snake Queen, please go back, I'll leave here, if I'm free in the future, I'll definitely come to bother me again."
On the fifth day after returning to the One Piece world, Li Hao finally officially set off again, but I don't know if this world is ready to meet his big news!
