"What! Tina, let Esdeath-sama see the headline!"
Although the photo was indeed well-taken, highlighting all of Esdeath-sama's Haki and handsomeness, there was one problem: how did Hancock get in the picture too!
She herself served as the background, frowning worriedly as she looked into the distance.
Completely unphotogenic!
"Hahaha, Tina, you don't look good in this one."
Glancing at the headline, Esdeath was completely uninterested; she almost instantly thought of a solution.
Instead, she noticed Tina behind her in the photo.
"Oh, Esdeath-sama!"
Esdeath wasn't flustered, but Tina was; this photo had probably spread throughout the world by now, what should she do?
If Esdeath-sama were to betray the Marine, she would definitely follow her!
She couldn't let Esdeath-sama suffer alone, and there was nothing to begin with, it was all those unscrupulous media's fault!
"Don't panic, Tina, don't worry, I have a solution."
"I'm not even flustered, why are you panicking?"
She patted the little head of Tina, who was worried about her; Tina was probably frantic the moment she saw this.
Amazon Lily!
"Snake Princess, something big has happened!"
Elder Nyon, leaning on her snake staff, rushed into Hancock's bedchamber.
"Don't bother me, I'm very annoyed right now!"
Frowning, Hancock looked at Elder Nyon approaching her, a displeased expression on her face.
To come bother her so early in the morning.
She was unhappy right now; Esdeath was about to leave, how could she make Esdeath stay at Amazon Lily!
"No! The battle from yesterday was photographed, quick, look, there's a photo of you and Esdeath here!"
Hearing this, Hancock's eyes lit up, and she instantly snatched the newspaper from Elder Nyon's hand, scrutinizing it.
It was indeed a photo of herself and Esdeath!
"Esdeath-sama is so handsome!"
Her eyes completely missed any problems, shining as she looked at Esdeath on the Ice Throne.
And she herself sat beside Esdeath, both looking straight ahead, their eyes filled with domineering presence!
"Who took this? I like it very much!"
Holding the newspaper, she looked at Elder Nyon; truthfully, she was indeed satisfied with this photo.
"I didn't ask you to look at the photo, look again carefully!" Elder Nyon thought Hancock had already seen the headline, but Hancock was only focused on Esdeath and didn't notice the headline at all!
"Hmm?"
She lowered her head to look at the newspaper's headline, and her small face instantly flushed red.
"Ah~, Hancock, Hancock has nothing to say about Esdeath."
Looking at the headline, Hancock placed one hand on her forehead, her body feeling as if it had a fever.
Hancock was even more satisfied with this headline!
Elder Nyon looked speechlessly at Hancock groaning on the bed; how did she feel that Hancock was getting the wrong idea?
It was clearly a shocking piece of news, why was she lying on the bed, pressing her forehead with one hand?
"I said, think about it carefully!"
"If the World Government or the Marine finds out about this, what will Esdeath face!"
"She might be judged as betraying the Marine, be put on a Marine bounty list, and her reputation will be ruined!"
Word by word, it instantly woke up the still drowsy Hancock, and only then did she realize the seriousness of the matter!
"Damn it!"
She muttered quietly, then thought of Esdeath betraying the Marine and staying at Amazon Lily, becoming even more excited.
Wouldn't she then be able to stay with Esdeath forever, without having to leave Amazon Lily!
If the Marine dared to come, she would dare to fight them!
For Esdeath!
...
Boru boru boru!
The Den Den Mushi in Esdeath's room rang.
She casually picked up the Den Den Mushi and answered it, even deliberately holding it a bit far from herself.
A Den Den Mushi with an afro appeared, opening its mouth and shouting loudly.
"Esdeath! What exactly happened?!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's roar instantly came through, so loud that even Esdeath's entire bedroom could hear Sengoku's bellow!
"That's right, tell me if anything happened!"
"I will definitely help you!"
The Den Den Mushi's appearance changed again, becoming a mohawk, and Zephyr's voice also came from the other side of the phone.
"Exactly, exactly, hahaha!"
Although the appearance didn't change, Garp's loud laughter also came through.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Teacher Zephyr, Garp!"
Esdeath first greeted them before slowly asking, "What happened? Why are you so shocked and concerned about me?"
"What else happened?!"
"Tell me, what's going on with you and that pirate, Boa Hancock!"
"You say you're together, but how did you get photographed? How much impact will this have?!"
"Do you know?! Do you know?!"
On the other side, Sengoku and the others were almost dying of anxiety; how could they not be anxious about such a thing?
They originally had high hopes for Esdeath, and now something that affected Esdeath's image had happened, how could they not worry?
This was the Admiral candidate they valued!
"What's the big deal? Isn't it just the Marine and the Seven Warlords of the Sea cooperating to defeat an invading New World pirate?"
"Isn't that a good thing?"
Esdeath's leisurely voice came through; not only Tina was shocked, but Sengoku and the others were also shocked!
She could even say it like that!
It wasn't a few years later yet; Sengoku and the others obviously hadn't reacted, the Seven Warlords of the Sea were nominally on the World Government's side.
So what were they still worried about?
Isn't this a good opportunity to promote the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
The first cooperation between the Marine and the Seven Warlords of the Sea resolved the great pirate of the New World, Blazing Bark!
"How did I not think of that?"
Laughter immediately erupted in Sengoku's office; he could have thought of it, but he was simply too anxious.
And he hadn't yet become familiar with the existence of the Shichibukai system, but Esdeath was different; she understood the meaning of the Shichibukai.
"This is a good method!"
As expected of the person they valued, her mind switched so quickly!
"What method, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this is just the first cooperation mission you assigned to the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
How could such a thing be considered a method?
It was clearly just a mission given by Fleet Admiral Sengoku to the Seven Warlords of the Sea; what did it have to do with her?
"Hahaha, good!"
After hanging up the phone, Sengoku immediately had an idea, and the two of them also relaxed.
It's good that nothing serious happened!
"Esdeath-sama, Tina truly admires you so much!"
Tina, with an expression of adoration, looked at her easily resolving something she couldn't do.
"You can do it too!"
