Several days later.
The seas were turbulent.
Because Admiral Akainu's downfall had a negative impact, the number of pirate incidents in various places continued to surge. In addition, one of the Marine's top combat forces, Aokiji, was dispatched, leading a fleet of over 100,000 troops,
including Admiral candidate Momousagi, to the South Blue to purge the Revolutionary Army, resulting in a shortage of manpower and causing the Marines to become quite anxious.
Under the pressure brought by the Marine fleet led by Aokiji and Momousagi, and by CP0, not only "Battle Ogre" Koor, who could be called the Revolutionary Army's second-in-command, but even the Revolutionary Army's leader, Monkey D. Dragon himself, rushed to the South Blue to oversee the overall situation.
On a certain island, Charlotte Linlin, screaming and wailing "Nun," "Everyone," "I'm sorry," words like those, her face covered in tears, heartbroken and almost collapsing, frantically bombarded the island, unable to control herself.
She directly gathered her pirates again, and continued to search for traces of Shiki the Golden Lion with all her might, wanting to avenge the Whitebeard Pirates who were defeated by Marshall D. Teach.
The extensive sweep continuously expanded its scope, implicitly threatening the Blackbeard Pirates and the Kuja Pirates in the New World.
All of this had nothing to do with Germa.
Ichiji, this king, finally left Baggy's island and returned to Germa's headquarters the Airborne Kingdom.
More than a year later, the Airborne Kingdom has undergone a complete transformation.
City after city, orderly and well-arranged, were successively established and completed like spring bamboo shoots after rain. The residents of Sky Island had all moved in, officially settling there. It was a scene of utter prosperity.
By using "Golden Lion" Shiki's name as a deterrent, Germa, who didn't have to worry too much, then successively had the Beast Pirates and the Tontatta Tribe directly transport several giant resource islands, which originally belonged to the World Government, up to the Airborne Kingdom.
And now, the entire territory of the Airborne Kingdom was somewhat exaggerated in size. A large portion of the area remained to be developed and built.
Team after team of formidable troops patrolled inside and outside those cities.
The magnificent Royal Palace, located in the center of the kingdom, had also long been completed. Its efficiency was astonishing.
The palace walls were towering, magnificent, and solemn.
It was even larger than the original Germa Kingdom, which was composed of dozens of war factories. From afar, it looked grand and spectacular, full of grandeur and refinement.
To the west of this royal palace, there was also a colossal tall tower, equipped with elevators specially designed by Germa's scientists.
It was a full nine stories high, luxuriously and exquisitely decorated, and it could directly offer a panoramic view of the entire Germa capital, with picturesque scenery.
"How is it? This place, isn't it better than Big Mom's 'Whole Cake Island' (Wano Country)?"
Standing on the newly completed nine-story tall tower, overlooking the entire Germa royal capital, Ichiji felt a surge of heroic pride. He smiled and asked his still somewhat shocked Queen Smoothie.
Taking Smoothie to the Germa Airborne Kingdom and letting her access some of Germa's secrets naturally meant that he had already directly "consumed" this most beautiful flower of the infamous Charlotte family.
As a pirate, especially the daughter of a Yonko like Big Mom, Smoothie's thoughts were naturally not very conservative.
Having already acknowledged that Vinsmoke Ichiji was indeed qualified to be her future husband, and given that she herself did not object to him, she naturally wouldn't mind doing something a little improper with Ichiji beforehand.
After one or more intentional or unintentional "drinking bouts," the two naturally and directly...
This wild and domineering Juice Queen, for the first time, was so open in that regard that Ichiji even found it a bit unbelievable, and she even had a slight "yuri" tendency.
Although no engagement or wedding ceremonies had been held yet, this queen, whose personality was not as violent as imagined and who was relatively obedient to her captain, had already gained Ichiji's approval and had her status as "Queen" announced to everyone.
It was just that it was highly unlikely she would be the only "Queen."
"I never expected Germa to have already occupied Sky Island..."
Her long, beautiful hair fluttered gently in the wind. The entire person leaned languidly into Ichiji's embrace. Smoothie's beautiful eyes still held a hint of disbelief as she nodded and agreed, "I'm afraid the World Government never imagined that this evil organization, right under their noses, had already developed to this extent, huh?"
When she first learned that Shiki the Golden Lion had already been killed by her future husband, and that even his Fuwa Fuwa no Mi (Float-Float Fruit) ability had been seized by Germa, and that Admiral Akainu had not died at the hands of Shiki the Golden Lion, but had died directly at the hands of Ichiji, this young authority figure of Germa, her shock was almost beyond measure.
However, she only thought that Germa had simply seized Shiki the Golden Lion's ability, and had no idea that the Beast Pirates and Fujitora had directly taken over the former king's powerful body.
"Your Highness, the Beast Pirates have brought back the ES drug you gave him..."
At this moment, the beautiful maid Isabel walked over gracefully. Her golden hair fluttered as she smiled and reported to Ichiji, who was surveying the capital's scenery: "That fellow Caesar has already taken it for experimentation, unable to wait. Would you like to go and see?"
"ES drug?"
Hearing this, Smoothie was slightly startled.
She gazed at Isabel suspiciously and asked, "What is that thing?"
"A medicine that, once consumed, can stimulate the human body's potential, greatly enhancing its power. However, it has very significant side effects..."
Facing this "queen" who had a yuri tendency, and who had been tormented more than once by Isabel, the latter couldn't help but blush slightly.
Having received Ichiji's permission, she did not hide anything from this "mistress" who had gradually integrated into Germa. She directly introduced, "If taken in large quantities, it will directly make a person incomparably withered in less than a day!"
"There's something like that too?"
Smoothie's pupils couldn't help but constrict.
Perhaps this dangerous drug had significant side effects, but its immense effect could not be ignored.
"Since we're idle anyway, let's go take a look..." Ichiji said with a light chuckle.
