Two days later.
Floran Kingdom, Queen's Palace.
Damn it!
"Andy, one day, this Queen will defeat you!" Queen Ella glared, her face flushed with shame and anger, roaring.
"Hey, hey, hey, my dear Queen Ella, it clearly wasn't my fault just now, and now you're blaming me again, what a heartless woman..." Andy looked at Ella with an innocent expression.
Just now, he and Ella discussed the purpose of the fox's three tails.
After a few hours of experimentation.
Both agreed that the three tails were very useful.
It's just that this woman is too heartless.
"This Queen did not!"
"This Queen... that's none of this Queen's business, it wasn't this Queen's intention!" Ella, blushing with shame, tried to find words to refute.
"ε=(´ο｀*))) Ah... If not, then not. By the way, Queen, my 1 billion Berries?" Andy suddenly remembered.
He hadn't received the bounty yet. Although he wasn't short on Berries, who would dislike having more?
Ella, who had just changed out of a uniform with an open back, heard Andy's words, and her ice-blue eyes began to dart away.
"What 1 billion Berries? This Queen doesn't understand. This Queen has things to do. This Queen is leaving first!" After speaking quickly, Ella put on her high heels, ready to leave.
Andy looked at her in shock: "Oh my goodness, a dignified Queen actually wants to go back on her word?!"
Hearing Andy say that, Ella simply stopped pretending. She put on a righteous facade: "So what if I'm going back on my word? Besides... besides, you're not at a loss; this Queen has become your woman!"
"You... are you gold-plated? So expensive! That's 1 billion Berries!" Andy's eyes widened as he watched Ella's shameless behavior, feeling truly enlightened.
"What gold-plated?" Ella didn't understand, her face slightly flushed as she said, "Anyway, there isn't any. Even if... even if this Queen owes it for now, this Queen will give you a surprise later!"
As she spoke, she subtly touched her stomach, wondering if she had conceived.
"Queen Ella, Right Minister Novan reports that Vice Admiral Yamakaji of the Marine has arrived, bringing the agreed-upon compensation." Linna, the maid,'s voice came from outside the door.
"This Queen understands. Go tell Novan that this Queen will be there shortly," Ella said indifferently.
"Yes, Queen Ella." Linna immediately withdrew, her moist cheeks somewhat flushed, perhaps from being too warm.
Ella walked up to Andy, pulled him down, kissed him fiercely, and then said, "Man, this Queen needs to attend to official business. Do you want to meet that Marine?"
"Yamakaji? I won't meet him. If I appear with you now, it will cause you considerable trouble," Andy said, savoring the feeling from just now.
"Indeed." Queen Ella slowly nodded, "Then you rest by yourself. Don't bully Linna; she can't withstand that terrifying strength."
With that, Ella, her complexion fair with a rosy blush, left the bedchamber with somewhat irregular steps, looking very much like she was fleeing.
"Yamakaji?" Andy crossed his arms, carefully recalling Vice Admiral Yamakaji's appearance and his actions.
This fellow, he seemed to be a Marine who always had a smile on his face and a somewhat gentle way of doing things~
At this moment, Linna also returned.
"Linna, I want to take a bath," Andy said, then walked towards the bathroom.
"Yes, Lord Andy," Linna followed, blushing. Why did Lord Andy always not wear a shirt!
----
Inside the spacious office of the Royal Palace.
Queen Ella met Vice Admiral Yamakaji and a dozen Marine soldiers carrying boxes.
"Queen Ella, here is the agreed-upon 1.5 billion Berries. I hope Queen Ella will abide by the agreement with the World Government," Yamakaji said gently with a friendly expression.
After he finished speaking, the dozen or so Marine soldiers behind him stepped forward two paces, then opened the boxes in their hands, which were all filled with Berries.
Ella looked indifferent, glanced at the dozen boxes of Berries, then cast a look at Right Minister Novan.
Novan waved towards outside the office, and immediately over a dozen people walked in and took the Berries from the Marine soldiers' hands.
"This Queen will, of course, abide by the agreement. This Queen only hopes that the World Government won't pull any tricks afterward," Queen Ella said indifferently, looking at Yamakaji.
"Hehehe~" Yamakaji chuckled twice casually, "This time I came to Floran Kingdom, besides bringing the agreed-upon Berries, I also want to meet Red Hawk. I hope Queen Ella can introduce him."
"This has nothing to do with our Floran Kingdom. Furthermore, this Queen doesn't know where Red Hawk is," Ella said indifferently, her expression natural and watertight.
Right Minister Novan and Army Commander Kamler, who were standing by, also looked indifferent.
Red Hawk Andy helped their Floran Kingdom eliminate Hanafza, so they naturally wouldn't betray Lord Red Hawk to the Marine.
They heard that Lord Red Hawk was still within the Royal Palace, but they didn't know where.
Vice Admiral Yamakaji naturally didn't believe Queen Ella's words.
He continued:
"Due to Hanafza's death, a vacancy has appeared among the Seven Warlords of the Sea. We plan to invite Red Hawk to take Hanafza's place.
Moreover, with Red Hawk's current reputation, he is perfectly capable of serving as a Shichibukai. Queen Ella, this is not a bad thing for Red Hawk."
After Vice Admiral Yamakaji finished speaking, a hint of emotion appeared on Queen Ella's face.
As Yamakaji said, she also believed this would be beneficial for Andy. After becoming a Seven Warlords of the Sea, he would no longer be pursued by the Marine.
The most crucial thing was that if Andy became a Seven Warlords of the Sea, she could also appear with Andy in public.
It's just that she didn't know that becoming a Seven Warlords of the Sea required being cloned by the World Government~
Ella pondered for a moment before saying, "We truly don't know where Red Hawk is, but this Queen will have people search for him. You can wait in Frost Flower City and see."
"Then I'll trouble Queen Ella," Yamakaji said amiably. Immediately afterward, he and the dozen Marine soldiers left the Royal Palace.
"You all handle the remaining matters. This Queen is going back first," Ella instructed Novan and Kamler, then got up, preparing to return to her bedchamber.
"Your Majesty, regarding Lord Red Hawk, should we inform him?" Novan immediately asked.
"Remember, Red Hawk has no relation to us now. Just do your jobs well," Queen Ella said indifferently.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Novan quickly responded.
----
Queen Ella returned to her bedchamber and went directly to the bathroom, where she saw Andy lying by the bathtub with his eyes closed, while Linna knelt beside him, giving him a massage.
"Andy, this time, besides bringing the compensation, the Marine also brought an invitation to become a Seven Warlords of the Sea," Ella said, sitting down next to Andy.
"Seven Warlords of the Sea? Hehehe... The World Government really thinks highly of me~" Andy chuckled coldly.
"By your tone... you're rejecting the invitation to become a Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Ella was somewhat surprised by Andy's choice.
She was a bit puzzled.
Isn't becoming a Seven Warlords of the Sea good? That way, he wouldn't have to worry about being pursued by the Marine.
