When Xia Li greeted His Majesty the Emperor at the port of Fish-Man Island, she took off her blue hood, revealing shoulder-length short hair and a mature and beautiful face.

"Your Majesty, the most important 'trading partner' of the Dragon Palace Kingdom at present, in addition to the major kingdoms and islands within the Deep Sea Empire, is the Chambord Islands."

"Do you remember Xia Qi? It's the companion of the 'Hades' Reilly. The world government restricts trade with us, and Xia Qi always has a way and a channel to help us solve the obstacles. ”

After the top war, Reilly and Xia Qi would come to Fish-Man Island from time to time for business or to exchange coating craftsman skills.

David Jones wasn't always on Fish-Man Island, so they only met a few times on and off.

He did have some impressions of the woman who was always standing by Reilly's side.

Seems to be a very capable, quite capable woman.

"Did Rayleigh and Xia Qi come to Fish-Man Island this month?"

"No, Your Majesty. They told us last month that they were going to be very busy this month, saying that they were preparing for the 'Straw Hats' and for the Straw Hats. ”

"Straw Hats? Are they going to be reunited? ”

Originally, Jinping was just listening from the sidelines and interjected into the topic, because after the end of the war, he was one of the people who sent the "Straw Hat Kid" Luffy away safely.

"Your Majesty, after the top war, Luffy realized that their strength was not enough to enter the new world and challenge the 'Four Emperors' and the 'Seven Martial Seas', so he decided to scatter around and practice."

"Of course, during this period of time, the new world has changed because of you, and there is no such thing as 'Four Emperors' and 'Seven Martial Seas'."

"For two years, Luffy has been on the Nine Snake Island in the windless zone, under the teaching of Han Cook, the 'One Piece Empress' of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, and that group of female warriors, learning domineering. Reilly also went over from time to time to point out. ”

David Jones became a little curious: "I have heard of the Nine Snake Island without wind, and I have heard that the female warriors there can drive the sea kings to pull boats for them, is this true?" ”

"It's true, those sea snakes have been domesticated since they were children, and they listen to them very much." Jinping replied truthfully.

David Jones thought of the kid who wore a straw hat and lost to him twice: "The 'Straw Hat Kid' spent two years learning domineering, and it seems that he has studied this aspect very well?" ”

"Also...... Not necessarily. Jinping showed a somewhat embarrassed expression, and touched his big belly with a wide palm with fish webs, "I've chatted with Reilly a few times, and I probably know Luffy's progress. ”

"Where have you learned?" When David Jones saw Jinping's expression, he knew in his heart, "The foundation of the armed color and the color of seeing and hearing should be known, right?" ”

"That's right." Jinping nodded, "The overlord color can also be released independently." However, the advanced skills of the three-color domineering will have to wait for him to learn in the new world in the future. ”

In simple terms, the armed color is three directions.

One is to arm itself like armor, protect itself, and limit the enemy's Devil Fruit abilities, one is to attack enemies like a flintlock pistol, and the other is to inflict visceral critical hits like a shockwave.

Luffy has no problem with the first direction, and now he is in the second direction of learning.

Seeing and hearing colors are also roughly in three directions.

One is to detect the surroundings like a radar, the other is to predict the future like a weather forecast, and the other is to hear the voice of the heart and infect the soul like a psychiatrist.

Luffy is also proficient in the first direction, and the last two directions need to be honed.

The overlord color is mainly wound and released.

Luffy had learned to unleash, but he hadn't even heard of the tyrant, and Rayleigh and Hancock hadn't told him because they felt it was too early to say it.

So far, Luffy's domineering is just an entry, and there is still a distance from the real master.

Jinping told what he knew about Luffy's domineering progress.

David Jones couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

This progress is too slow, and if Luffy is only at this level, his companions are probably not much better.

In this way, what is the significance of practicing for two years?

I'm afraid, soon someone will teach them a lesson.

Smiling squirting grinning -

At this time, the ringtone of the telephone bug rang, coming from Xia Li's robe.

She duly apologized to His Majesty the Emperor, then sat down on the ring bubble and floated to the back of the line to answer the phone.

As a result, when David Jones had just entered the palace of Dragon Palace with his left foot and was about to go to the banquet set up in Neptune, he saw Xia Li, who was still calm, chasing after him.

"Your Majesty, something has happened to the Chambord Islands." Xia Li looked nervous, and she was still holding a phone bug in her hand, "Xia Qi called and asked us for help. ”

David Jones stood still: "What's going on?" ”

"Navy warships have suddenly blockaded the entire Chambord Islands, and soldiers are arresting and exterminating pirates and thieves on the islands with the help of 'third-generation pacifists' and new humanoid weapons called 'Seraphs'."

"The 'Straw Hats' were besieged, and Reilly and Xia Qi were also affected. The navy even dispatched Admiral 'Fuji Tiger' and Vice Admiral 'Green Bull'......"

The familiar words "third-generation pacifist", "seraphim", "vine tiger" and "green cow" quickly led David Jones to paint a picture of the current situation in the Chambord Islands.

He just thought that the new world would teach the "Straw Hats" a lesson, but he didn't expect it to come true so soon.

When Jinping and Neptune heard this, they all looked at His Majesty the Emperor, and the decision on how to deal with this matter was in His Majesty's thoughts.

"Reilly and Xia Qi are our allies." David Jones set the tone directly, "Neptune, it looks like this afternoon's banquet is going to be postponed by one or two hours. ”

Neptune grabbed his orange beard and smiled heartily, "Your Majesty, we are waiting for your return to the celebration feast." ”

——

The clock was retraced to half an hour ago.

The Chambord Islands are bustling with merchants, tourists, and a group of pirates who recruit gangs with great fanfare, attracting the attention of quite a few people.

Correspondingly, Xia Qi's bar is very deserted.

However, Xia Qi didn't make a living by selling wine in the first place, even if it was Reilly's coating work, it was not so easy to do now.

The main income of the two in the past two years is the business with Fish-Man Island.

However, they all had a hunch that with the increasingly bad relationship between the Deep Sea Empire and the World Government, this business would not last long.

Fortunately, both of them are pirates, and their years of seafaring life have made them open-minded by nature, so they put aside their worries about the future for the time being and celebrate today's happy events.

The "Straw Hats" are about to reunite.

Reilly and Xia Qi already have a good impression of the Straw Hat Pirates, and the last empress of the Amazon Lily Kingdom where Luffy practiced is Xia Qi, which deepens the connection with each other.

For this reason, Xia Qi held a small banquet for their group in the bar.

It was also this feast that allowed the happy and lucky Straw Hats to avoid the first wave of the navy outside.
