"you……!"
Xia Qi was both embarrassed and angry at being stared at, and also felt a deep resentment towards Lei Luo.
That bastard has no idea what it means to cherish a woman.
It's as if I only agreed to spend a year with him, and if he doesn't come more often, I'll be at a loss.
"Oh, don't be shy. You're thirty-five, not some little girl."
Seeing Shakky's embarrassed and angry expression, Stuart's smile grew even brighter:
"Alright, alright, stop looking so cold. We're sisters from now on."
"By the way, you should call me sister."
Xia Qi glared at Stusi in annoyance: "Stusi, what nonsense are you talking about? Who's your sister? I'll be leaving here in a year."
“Interesting.” Stussy clicked his tongue in amazement. “Everything that was going to happen has happened, and you’re still thinking about leaving? Then why did you come here in the first place?”
Xia Qi remained silent.
She couldn't answer that question.
Trading one's body for Lei Luo is not a respectable thing to do.
Seeing Shakky's appearance, Stussy's curiosity was piqued.
However, it's obvious that this woman won't say.
There's no point in not telling her. She'll ask Lei Luo later. Lei Luo shouldn't be so stingy as to not tell her something like this.
So Stussy continued to joke:
"Why leave here? Isn't it good here? Or is Lei Luo not strong enough? That can't be right, you're already like this."
"Shut up, you!"
Shaki couldn't stand Stussy at all. After snorting, she leaned against the wall and limped away.
Stussy didn't stop her, crossing his arms and watching Shakky's departing figure, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
At this moment, Leilo, with a smile on his lips, slowly walked out of the palace and came to Stussy's side.
Xia Qi woke up and left his side; how could he not know?
Xia Qi was also terrified of being tormented by her, so she left the palace as soon as she woke up, afraid that Lei Luo would drag her to do it again.
Lei Luo didn't care and just let her leave.
It's only once a year, so one or two more won't make a difference.
Moreover, it may not be just one year.
Stussy nudged Leilo lightly with his elbow: "Wow, impressive, how did you manage to hook up with him?"
Shakky looked down on all the powerful pirates who once dominated Beehive Island.
Later, on God Valley, Stussy learned that Shakky had a crush on Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Black Nose Pirates.
But how did Lei Luo manage to get his hands on it?
It doesn't look like it was forcibly stolen.
Moreover, it was obvious from the conversation just now that Xia Qi didn't like Lei Luo either!
Lei Luo didn't force Xia Qi, and Xia Qi didn't like Lei Luo, so how did that woman willingly accompany Lei Luo?
Lei Luo smiled and said, "What do you mean by flirting? This woman came to me of her own accord."
"Hmm? Tell me about it." Stussy became interested; what woman could resist gossip?
There was no point in hiding it, so Lei Luo said frankly, "She wanted the red road sign history text we had, so she made a deal with me."
Stussy was very clever. Connecting Xia's words with what she had just said, he immediately knew what Xia Qi's condition was: "She will stay with you for a year?"
Lei Luo nodded slightly: "Yes."
Stussy scoffed and said sarcastically, "That's really incredibly stupid of them to actually believe you."
She might not understand others, but how could she not understand Lei Luo?
If Shaki manages to leave this place a year from now, carrying the red historical text of the road sign, she will change her name from Stussy to Sistus.
Lei Luo also wore a mocking smile.
Xia Qi gave Lei Luo the feeling that she was shrewd and calculating, but also that he couldn't quite figure her out.
I don't understand at all why she would believe a pirate like herself.
Just like that idiot Oden.
No wonder they're all people who can hang out with the Black Nose Pirates.
Or is it that women with a "love-struck" mindset experience a drop in IQ to negative numbers when it comes to their lovers?
One year later, haha.
However, now that Xia Qi is already in my possession, then...
I need to find some time to go to Baterila Island in the South China Sea, and then to the Giant Kingdom of Elbaf.
Rouge, Shakky, Ripley.
The wife of Roger's three strongest fighters, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, was someone he, Raylor, could rival alone.
Chapter 186 Trading
Malinfando, Navy Headquarters.
In the marshal's office.
A naval soldier stood in front of his desk, reporting the latest news to the air: "Reporting to the Fleet Admiral, the Black Nose Pirates have arrived at Whole Cake Island."
Kong waved his hand: "I understand, you can go now."
"Yes, sir!" The marine saluted respectfully and left the office.
Kong leaned back in his office chair, his brow furrowed.
"First the Whitebeard Pirates, now the Big Mom Pirates, what exactly is Roger trying to do?"
Roger's last meeting with Whitebeard had already alerted Marine Headquarters, but nothing happened.
If Roger and Whitebeard had some kind of relationship, then Roger and Linlin certainly didn't.
Why go find Lingling?
Kong couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, so he simply ordered his soldiers to summon all the high-ranking officers for a meeting.
On the one hand, it's about pooling wisdom; on the other hand, it's about the fact that their navy hasn't been idle—they've already held meetings and discussed this matter.
They may not be able to reach a conclusion, but their navy has done what it had to do.
Upon hearing Roger's name at the conference table, Garp immediately stood up, intending to arrest Roger.
Kong immediately scolded, "Garp, what are you doing? I haven't finished speaking yet."
"You haven't finished speaking, but I've already heard everything." Karp walked out of the conference room on his own.
Just as Garp was about to close the conference room door, Sora finally couldn't hold back and roared:
"Garp, do you want what happened on Ozawa Island to happen again?"
Garp paused, his usually carefree personality replaced by sadness in his eyes when Sora mentioned Osawa Island.
Tsuru kindly advised, "Garp, Whole Cake Island is in the New World; the Navy can't just openly enter."
Karp returned to his seat with a gloomy face and clenched fists, without saying a word.
Seeing Garp like this, Sora was probably not feeling too good inside either.
The marines who sacrificed their lives on Osawa Island were the new generation of the navy. As the admiral of the navy, how could he not feel heartbroken?
With a sigh, Sora continued, "Tell me, what do you all think Roger wanted to do on Whole Cake Island?"
"Marshal, I think..."
Roger, Rayleigh, and Jabba thus openly and legitimately landed on Big Mom's territory.
The arrival of another "Four Emperors" put the entire Big Mom Pirates on high alert.
Lingling immediately surrounded Roger, Rayleigh, and Jabba with Longbread, the children led by Katakuri, and the soldiers of Whole Cake Island.
Roger and his two companions remained calm, seemingly oblivious to the soldiers surrounding them.
The strong have the confidence of the strong. Although there are only three of them now, if they really fight, they will definitely not be the ones to lose.
Upon seeing Lingling's arrival, Roger took the initiative to greet her: "Hi, Lingling."
Lingling, carrying "Napoleon," looked at Roger and his two companions warily: "Roger, you dare to come to my territory?"
Despite Lingling's boastful words, she was actually quite scared inside.
These three are not easy to deal with!
Letting her fight one is fine, but if she fights three, then the pirates of the New World can start preparing to compete for the next "Four Emperors" position.
"Should we call for backup?" This thought instantly popped into Lingling's mind.
Roger noticed the wariness in Lingling's eyes and grinned, "Lingling, don't be nervous. We're not here to fight."
Lingling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the wariness in her eyes remained.
She's not a newbie pirate; how could she possibly believe everything people say?
Lingling snorted coldly and asked, "Then what are you doing here? I don't have any connection with you!"
They even had a grudge; Roger even stole her Red Road Poneglyph.
Roger revealed his purpose: "Lingling, let's make a deal."
"A transaction?" Lingling repeated in confusion.
“Hmm.” Roger nodded seriously, then looked around. “This isn’t the place to talk business. Let’s find somewhere else to have a proper chat.”
Lingling stared at Roger with scrutinizing eyes for a long time, while Roger calmly met her gaze.
After thinking for a moment, Lingling nodded and agreed to Roger's request: "Alright, come with me."
What can we do if we don't agree? No one can force us to change the situation.
Moreover, she now has a large and successful family business.
The enemy was reduced to only three people by the Beasts Pirates, all of whom were top-tier experts of their time.
Three barefoot, top-tier martial arts masters—which force wouldn't be afraid of them?
Lingling waved to the soldiers: "You may all step back."
The soldiers obeyed Queen Torrent's orders unconditionally and quickly left the area.
"Come with me." Lingling turned and walked towards the cake castle in front of her.
Lingling's second son, Katakuri, looked worried and called out, "Mom."
Lingling didn't turn her head, and smiled, "Oh, oh, oh, oh... don't worry, my dear son, it's alright."
To be precise, worrying is useless.
If the Roger Pirates wanted to do something, the Big Mom Pirates would be completely powerless to stop them.
Since that's the case, why not listen to what kind of deal Roger wants to discuss with her?
If it benefits both sides, she wouldn't mind cooperating with the Black Nose Pirates.
If someone makes unfounded claims or says something impractical, she'll agree to it first and then call people to help.
Do you really think she's easy to bully?
Katakuri watched Linlin's retreating figure, a sense of powerless defeat filling his heart.
Perospero walked over with his lollipop cane and gently patted his younger brother's shoulder: "This is none of your business, that's beyond your ability to handle."
Katakuri knew perfectly well that he couldn't handle it, which was why he was so resentful: "If only I were stronger."
Seeing that his younger brother was still in this state, Perospero continued to comfort him, "You have done very well, Katakuri. You are only nineteen years old."
