Chapter 284 Spending money on his wife without feeling the pinch
"If I could, I wouldn't want to say these things," Granny Za said with a complicated expression, "but for the sake of Amazon Lily, there are some things I have to say."
The children are still quite young and may not consider some things, so she, as an elderly woman, has to speak up and remind them.
"Hey, Grandma, what exactly are you trying to say?" Hancock asked, annoyed.
Seeing Hancock's demanding explanation, the old woman said, "Hancock, have you forgotten who you are?"
"Are you implying that I'm the emperor of Amazon Lily?" Hancock said. "That's not a problem. I can just give the throne to Santasonia."
"Huh?"
Santasonia paused for a moment, then said incredulously, "Pass the throne to me?"
"No, no, I'm not suited to sit in that seat."
Only my older sister is qualified to sit in that position; no one else is allowed!
Upon hearing this, Hancock glared at her and said, "If I say you can do it, then you can!"
Santasonia:
Why is my older sister like this?
Seeing Santasonia's pitiful expression, Grandma Za gave her a helpless look.
"Is this about the throne?" Granny Za said. "The throne of Nine-Eyed Snake Island has never been a problem, okay?"
You have to understand that she and that girl Xia Qi have both done things like abandoning the throne, so this is nothing at all!
"Not about the throne?" Hancock asked, puzzled. "Then what is it?"
Just then, Xi Yan said, "Grandma probably meant the title of Shichibukai, right?"
"Right, Grandma?"
They had faced this problem before.
"Yes, that's right, it's the Seven Warlords of the Sea," Grandma Za nodded.
If this problem is not handled properly, destruction awaits Amazon Lily!
So...she has to say it!
"Why is it that damned Shichibukai title again?" Hancock said through gritted teeth.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldn't have accepted this damned Shichibukai.
"Because you are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
After sighing, Granny Zha explained, "The moment you appear on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, the World Government will revoke your title of Shichibukai!"
"After that...they sent troops to attack our Amazon Lily!"
"What will happen to Amazon Lily without you by then?"
As an old woman who survived from the Rocks era, Granny Za knows very well the nature of the World Government. Those guys will definitely send people to attack Amazon Lily immediately!
Without Hancock, Amazon Lily would have no chance of defeating the World Government.
After all... they don't have another fighter here who can directly face a Marine Admiral!
After hearing Granny's words, Hancock paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Damn the World Government, why don't they just die?!"
At that moment, Hancock hated the World Government intensely.
"At least they won't die now," Grandma Za said calmly.
"Then we can't rely on the Calm Belt..." Santasonia stopped speaking before she could finish, because she remembered that the Navy could cross the Calm Belt.
"You thought of that too, didn't you?" Grandma Za glanced at Santasonia and said, "That's what I was worried about too."
"With the technology to traverse the Calm Belt, the Navy could easily take advantage of Hancock's absence to send a large army to attack us."
"If a naval admiral comes along, we...::"
?
Grandma didn't finish her sentence, but the others understood what she meant.
If a naval general were to attack Amazon Lily, they would absolutely be unable to stop it, after all... that's a monster!
"That's true, but will the general really come to attack us?" Marigold said.
"Of course it's possible."
Grandma nodded very seriously and said, "Don't forget how important the Seven Warlords of the Sea are to the World Government!"
If Hancock's relationship with Westfire is exposed, it will be a slap in the face to the World Government.
The World Government will definitely come to punish this traitorous Shichibukai!
"That is indeed a problem," west Yan said.
If the World Government and the Navy knew about his relationship with Hancock, they would understand why the two of them behaved that way at Marine Headquarters.
At that time, the World Government and the Navy will definitely retaliate fiercely against Amazon Lily.
"There's one more thing," Granny continued, "What if the World Government uses Amazon Lily to threaten you two?"
"Especially Xiyan..."
"
At this point, Grandma Za paused for a moment, then said seriously, "Don't forget that he was a ninja."
"The world government is very interested in him!"
west Yan himself stated that the World Government was very interested in him, and given the abilities he displayed at Marine Headquarters, the World Government would definitely do everything in its power to capture him if given the chance!
"That Xiyan..."
Perhaps sensing what Hancock was about to say, the old woman interrupted her directly: "I know what you're trying to say, but..."
"west Yan, will you just watch Nine Serpent Island be destroyed and do nothing?"
Faced with his mother-in-law's question, west Yan replied without hesitation, "No."
This is Hancock's home; he can't just ignore it.
Grandma nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Hancock and said, "Did you hear that, Hancock?"
"For the sake of Nine Snake Island and Xiyan, you should think this over carefully."
Hancock opened her mouth as if to say something, but found herself at a loss for words.
After all... my mother-in-law is right.
If she really disregards everything and follows west Yan, then both Nine Serpent Island and west Yan may be in danger.
After a moment of silence, Hancock, unwilling to give up, asked, "Can't I really leave with Xiyan?"
Grandma Za said, "If you really don't care about Nine Snake Island and Xiyan, I won't stop you."
In one sentence, he directly hit Hancock's Achilles' heel.
Hancock paused for a moment upon hearing this, then sighed softly and said, "I understand."
For the sake of her beloved and her hometown, she had no choice but to endure it.
Seeing Hancock's expression, Grandma was silent for a moment before saying, "I only said you can't go with Xiyan, but I didn't say you two can't meet."
"If you really want to, just contact me via Den Den Mushi and then find an opportunity to meet up later."
After saying that, Granny paused for a moment, then added, "But you absolutely cannot appear on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, understand?!"
Upon hearing her grandmother's words, Hancock's smile returned, and she replied, "Yes, I understand!"
She didn't ask for anything more than being able to see each other often.
"Okay, I'll contact Sister Xia Qi in a bit and ask her to get me a white Den Den Mushi," west Yan said.
"A white Den Den Mushi?"
"It's a kind of Den Den Mushi that can prevent eavesdropping," west Yan explained. "That way, the World Government won't be able to hear our conversations."
"Alright, I understand!!" Hancock laughed.
"You're really generous," Grandma Za said with a smile.
Those Den Den Mushi are extremely expensive; even they don't own any.
"Of course I'd buy it for my wife," west Yan said with a smile.
"Ah~"
Hancock blushed instantly when she heard Xiyan call her wife.
Then he raised his hands to cover his face and started to smoke.
west Yan: ....
My mother-in-law: ...
Why is it smoking again?
At that moment, west Yan's expression changed slightly, and then he quickly said, "See you later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, west Yan turned into white smoke and disappeared from the spot.
Hancock: ? ? ?
Looking at the suddenly vanished Xiyan, a question mark appeared above Hancock's head.
What's going on here?
"This is that little girl Meili's ability," Granny Za said. "She can summon Xiyan away regardless of distance."
Upon hearing this, Hancock immediately showed an envious expression.
"This ability is really good..."
'
If she had this ability, wouldn't she be able to summon west Yan to her side anytime, anywhere?
"Should I keep this little girl with me?" Hancock thought to herself.
However, she rejected the idea as soon as it came to mind, after all... that was west Yan's partner.
She didn't want to put west Yan in a difficult position because of her own selfish desires.
"What an amazing ability," Santasonia remarked, then added, "But why did that little girl summon Xiyan away?"
Could it be that they've encountered danger?
That shouldn't be the case...
There shouldn't be any danger on their Amazon Lily.
"It must be Straw Hat Boy waking up," Grandma said.
Before the two of them arrived, west Yan had told Mei Li about this matter, so she guessed that the boy had woken up.
"Straw Hat Boy is awake?" Santasonia asked in surprise. "Was he unconscious the whole time?"
"Yes, that's right." Granny Za nodded and said, "west Yan said that kid started sleeping as soon as he left the Marine Headquarters."
"He can really sleep..." Santasonia said, her lips twitching.
It's been so many days since that battle at Marine Headquarters, and this guy is still sleeping...: It's really surprising.
"He's probably just been accumulating too much fatigue, that's why he's been sleeping so much," Grandma Za said. "But he does get up to eat at mealtimes though."
Santasonia: ? ? ?
Why do I have to get up to eat at mealtimes?
Perhaps sensing Santasonia's confusion, Grandma Za explained, "This guy can eat even while he's sleeping."
As she spoke, Grandma Za showed a wistful expression.
This was the first time she had ever seen a guy like this.
Santasonia:....
Santasonia opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"How amusing," Marigold laughed. "Looks like this guy won't starve."
She had been worried that the other person might starve to death from not eating for so long, but then she discovered that the other person could eat and sleep at the same time...
That's outrageous.
"Yes, you definitely won't starve to death."
Grandma nodded, then turned her gaze to Hancock, who seemed lost in thought, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about Xiyan," Hancock said, looking up. "Straw Hat Boy has woken up, does that mean Xiyan is about to leave?"
Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately fell silent.
Yes, west Yan is about to leave.
After a moment of silence, Granny Za said, "If you really can't bear to part with them, then use a pirate ship to send them to the Sabaody Archipelago. That way, they can spend more time together."
Upon hearing this, Hancock's eyes immediately lit up.
"That's right!!" Hancock exclaimed, "I will personally escort Xiyan to the Sabaody Archipelago!"
In this way... she can spend more time with Xiyan. Thinking of this, a happy smile appeared on Hancock's face.
Then Hancock said, "But before we leave, we should give Xiyan a proper welcome."
"And there's Straw Hat Boy and Merry," Grandma Za added.
Why does this girl only have eyes for west Yan?
"Ah, and those two too." Hancock nodded, then rested her chin on her hand and said, "What should we prepare for Xiyan?"
My mother-in-law: ...
She felt that Hancock's condition was worse than hers.
Just then, Enishida ran in from outside, shouting, "Lady Snake Princess, something terrible has happened!"
Hancock frowned, her train of thought interrupted, and then looked up at Anishida, saying, "What happened? Why are you all so flustered?"
"Lady Snake Princess, something terrible has happened!" Enishida exclaimed. "A guy claiming to be Rayleigh has appeared on the beach of Amazon Lily and has taken down many of our warriors in a single encounter!"
"Rayleigh?"
Grandma Za gave a strange look and asked, "What's this guy doing here on our Nine-Shell Island?"
Are you planning to come and see Xiyan and Luffy in person?
Thinking back to the phone call Xi Yan had made before, my mother-in-law felt that the probability was not small.
"Why would this guy come here?" Hancock asked, looking puzzled.
Then, she looked at Anishida and asked, "Did he say anything?"
"Ah, he did," Anishida said. "He said he came to see Lord Xiyan and Luffy."
"However, we don't know him, and we don't know if what he said is true or false, so we've kept him outside for the time being and plan to inform you first."
Although that guy confidently claimed that he knew Lord Xiyan and Lady Snake Princess, they ultimately had no way of confirming their identities, so they could only come back and ask first.
Upon hearing this, Grandma's lips twitched slightly, and she thought to herself: "Stop Rayleigh?"
If it weren't for the fact that that guy didn't want to cause trouble, even if all the National Guardians attacked together, they wouldn't be able to touch a single hair on his head!
After shaking her head, Granny Za said, "west Yan said that he has a good relationship with Lei Li and Xia Qi, so Lei Li probably wasn't lying."
"Is that so...."
Hancock paused for a moment, then said, "Then bring him in and take him to Granny Za to see Xiyan."
"Huh?"
Anishida paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said in surprise:
"He's a man, after all."
"Are we really going to bring him in?"
west Yan and Straw Hat Boy were allowed in because Lady Snake and Granny gave them special permission, but that guy named Rayleigh...
Ok?
Rayleigh?
Could it be that Rayleigh?
As if she had just thought of something, Anishida's heart skipped a beat.
"If he wants to come in, I can't stop him," Hancock said, shaking her head.
What she said was true; if Rayleigh really intended to force his way into Amazon Lily, she really wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
After all, that guy is the Pirate King's right-hand man!
If a fight breaks out, she might not be able to defeat that guy.
Anishida:
Could that guy really be Rayleigh, the legendary Hades?
This explains why Lady Snake would say such a thing.
"Go ahead," said Granny Za. "He poses no danger to our Nine-Shell Island."
After all... that guy was the man of their former emperor of Amazon Lily!
Even if it were just for Shakky's sake, Rayleigh wouldn't do anything reckless.
"Yes, I'll take care of it right away!" Anishida exclaimed.
Then, the woman quickly turned and ran outside, intending to reach the beach as fast as possible to avoid unnecessary casualties.
After watching the other person leave, Hancock said, "Let's go see what this guy is up to."
"it is good."
Grandma nodded upon hearing this, then picked up her snake cane and followed Hancock away.
Santasonia, following behind the two, glanced at Marigold and asked, "What does he want with our brother-in-law?"
"How would I know?" Marigold shook her head.
She only just received the news, okay?
As for whether she can deduce the other party's purpose... don't be ridiculous, her brain is simply not suited for doing that kind of thing.
"We'll know his purpose when we see that guy," Hancock said. "Let's go."
"Yes, elder sister!" The two women nodded.
Then, the two strode after Hancock and walked out of the palace!
