At that moment, on the deck of the Kuja Pirates, someone suddenly seemed to remember something and exclaimed in surprise.
"Is that... Lord Guardian? Our Kuja's Guardian Deity!"
Hearing this suddenly, Boa Hancock, who had been watching the battle, frowned slightly and looked at the speaker in confusion.
This person was Shakuyaku, someone who was very knowledgeable about history and had served as an assistant to the previous empress.
Seeing her look at herself, Shakuyaku immediately said, "Hancock-sama, there has always been a legend on our Amazon Lily Island that a Guardian Deity has been protecting us since a long time ago. The Calm Belt around Amazon Lily Island was not formed naturally, but by the power of the Guardian Deity!"
Amazon Lily Island is located in a certain part of the Calm Belt.
And the Calm Belt is exactly what it sounds like. In this sea area, there are no winds or waves, and sailing ships simply cannot navigate. Therefore, Amazon Lily Island is almost isolated from the outside world. At the same time, the Calm Belt also protects Amazon Lily Island.
Speaking of this, Shakuyaku paused, then shook her head and said, "However, creating the Calm Belt may be an exaggeration, but the Guardian Deity is indeed real. There are clear records in ancient documents, and there are also images. If you look closely, Lord Guardian is now hidden in the thick fog, and you can barely see the shadow. This shadow is exactly the same as the illustrations in the documents!"
When Shakuyaku saw Vladimir controlling the seawater earlier, she immediately thought of the island's legend. When she saw the vague shadow, she was extremely convinced.
She had a deep knowledge of history, so she was the first to discover it.
After listening to these words, Boa Hancock was silent for a moment, "That's just a legend..."
"No, Hancock-sama, the existence of the Guardian Deity is also recorded in our history. I can find those documents for you when we get back!"
The woman seemed to have suddenly opened up her thoughts, speaking eloquently: "A year ago, you defeated the great monster 'Gorgon' in the Central Sea, didn't you? Gorgon is also recorded in that document. It's real! So, the Guardian Deity must also be real!"
Speaking of this, the woman who was speaking suddenly became excited and shouted, "We must protect Lord Guardian! We must not let the Navy harm Lord Guardian!"
Hearing this, the women on the ship were immediately moved. Most of them had heard of this legend, and a year ago, their empress, Empress Boa Hancock, had indeed seen the legendary great monster and defeated it. This also proved that the Guardian Deity seemed to really exist!
"Protect Lord Guardian!"
"Is he really our Guardian Deity?"
"Hancock-sama?"
Immediately, countless gazes turned to the Empress at the same time.
Seeing this, Boa Hancock's breathing stagnated.
The great monster Gorgon... she defeated and killed it. That's right, that's what she told the people of Amazon Lily Island.
But in reality, that was just an excuse, an excuse to cover up something.
Gorgon doesn't exist! She had never even seen it!
However, she couldn't say these words, because she couldn't deny the existence of that secret.
Since she couldn't deny Gorgon, and she had to admit its existence, then at this moment, she could only agree with the reality of the Guardian Deity!
Taking a deep breath, Boa Hancock's expression turned cold, and her pair of exquisite beautiful eyes suddenly swept towards Sakazuki, and she said coldly:
"Navy, he is our Amazon Lily Island's Guardian Deity. Your attack on him is a provocation to me!"
Boa Hancock spoke coldly, immediately causing the scene of conflict to pause slightly.
Hearing these words suddenly, the people on the Navy's side all looked dazed.
Guardian Deity? Are you kidding me? We've never heard of such a thing.
Sakazuki snorted and said, "Boa Hancock, you still have time to take back what you just said. Do you want to bring destruction to your country?"
Hearing this, the Empress smiled, and it was like a hundred flowers blooming, her beauty unparalleled.
For a time, the group of marines on the warship all showed infatuated expressions.
"I will be forgiven no matter what I do, because I am too beautiful."
Boa Hancock's posture was high and mighty, "You are the same. Wanting to point fingers at me... hmph."
A faint nasal sound revealed her posture.
She didn't take the Navy under the World Government seriously at all.
However, hearing such impolite words, the infatuated expressions of the group of marines not only did not diminish, but increased instead, and they shouted excitedly.
"Hancock! Hancock!"
"The most beautiful woman in the world!"
"We forgive you! We forgive you!"
Seeing that his subordinates were so unbearable, Sakazuki's face immediately turned ashen.
"A bunch of fools!" He glanced at everyone angrily, which made many marines sober up a bit.
At this time, the mist dissipated, and the three parties looked at each other, and the scene suddenly fell into a stalemate.
Vladimir opened his dragon eyes and looked at the Empress with a strange expression.
Of course, he had heard the conversation between the Empress and the other woman. What Guardian Deity of Amazon Lily Island? Who knows what that is.
And the reason was even more nonsense. Gorgon exists, so the Guardian Deity also exists?
Vladimir was clear about this. The Empress was willing to fabricate a huge lie and deceive the people of the entire island in order to cover up her own secrets.
Others didn't know, but the Empress probably knew very well in her heart that he was not some Guardian Deity at all, but a sea dragon of unknown origin that had suddenly appeared.
This girl is going all out to cover up her secrets...
Vladimir thought with amusement in his heart, but his face remained calm, "Meddling in other people's business. What Akainu, Admiral? In the realm of the ocean, I can deal with it myself."
Akainu, one of the three peak combat forces of the Navy under the World Government!
His combat power was indeed extraordinarily strong, basically at the top level of the world, but as a Devil Fruit ability user, he had a fatal weakness, which was his fear of seawater.
And unfortunately, Vladimir, as a sea dragon, had a handy control over seawater.
He wasn't afraid to fight. Although he didn't have any combat experience, his innate advantages were too great, and he was confident that he could make up for it.
Hearing Vladimir's ungrateful remarks, the Empress immediately raised her eyebrows, and her pair of beautiful eyes glared over in anger.
"What are you looking at?" Vladimir breathed out dragon breath and said calmly, "Just telling the truth."
"Hmph, ungrateful." The Empress's slender eyebrows trembled, becoming even more angry.
But this anger could not be vented, after all, Vladimir was now recognized as the "Guardian Deity," so she had to cast her cold gaze on Sakazuki.
In comparison, Sakazuki was even more angry to the point of rushing blood.
