Amazon Lily, on Amazon Lily.
To celebrate the defeat of Doflamingo and Blackbeard by Ye Jia, the Empress organized a grand, island-wide celebration!
Under the inky night sky, studded with twinkling stars, massive bonfires blazed, casting a warm glow. The entire populace of Amazon Lily gathered around the fires, drinking heartily, feasting on meat, and joyfully celebrating their "new beginning"!
Before the war even began, they only knew that facing two Warlords would be extremely difficult.
But the moment Blackbeard, using the Dark-Dark Fruit, almost annihilated all of them, they were jolted awake. They realized it wasn't just a matter of difficulty anymore... The enemy was too strong, "Nine Three Seven" was so powerful that they couldn't possibly contend with him!
Once defeated, they would face the most tragic outcome!
Their country would be destroyed, and they would be left homeless.
They would be sold into slavery, struggling painfully under torment.
Forced to kill, they would be condemned to live out their lives in constant fear and trepidation...
Thanks to Ye Jia, who, with an overwhelming display of power, effortlessly resolved all their problems. Not only did he rescue Amazon Lily from the crisis of destruction, but he also struck fear into the hearts of other pirates, ensuring they would never again dare to encroach upon Amazon Lily's territory.
Therefore, for all the people of Amazon Lily, the victory of this war was a jubilant celebration, a true "new beginning"!
"Husband!"
Ye Jia was currently drinking and eating meat with Akio and the others, happily planning the future direction of the Grim Reaper Pirates... Just then, the Empress approached, gracefully carrying a wine glass.
Ye Jia sighed helplessly in his heart.
Every move made by Ye Jia and the Empress was observed by Silu Qingluo and Gayaman at the side.
Gayaman was still just a little girl who didn't understand the ways of men and women. She only knew that the Empress was actually lying in Ye Jia's arms, monopolizing him. It was as if her beloved toy had been snatched away. She puffed up her cheeks in anger, her crystalline, Ryukyu-ball-like eyes glaring at the Empress, wishing she could pierce her with her gaze.
Clearly, the Empress was completely unfazed by this.
Meanwhile, Silu Qingluo, who was well-versed in the ways of men and women, had already noticed the ambiguous relationship between the Empress and Ye Jia, and a pang of jealousy immediately arose in her heart.
She could tell that they were intimate enough to have physical contact; Ye Jia had definitely already had relations with the Empress.
"No, I can't give up! If Ye Jia can have that kind of relationship with Boa Hancock... I... I can too!"
"In that regard, I'm definitely better than her!"
Silu Qingluo secretly made up her mind, vowing to win Ye Jia back!
Ye Jia, completely unaware of this, was chatting happily with the Empress.
"Husband, you were amazing today!"
The Empress praised him, her small face flushed.
A man's strength is his woman's pride.
"Amazing or not, it doesn't matter, as long as I can protect you!"
Ye Jia said softly.
With just one sentence, he struck deep into the Empress's heart, making her display a shy, demure expression like a little woman, and she snuggled even closer into Ye Jia's embrace.
On the other side, Akio and Carlz, both single, were silently hit hard by Ye Jia's display.
"The Captain is truly amazing... even the Empress is smitten with him. I've seen many women, but the Empress is the most beautiful... Oh, and there's Silu Qingluo."
Carlz voiced his thoughts as an observer.
"I've seen too much of this kind of thing, I'm used to it."
Akio, as a veteran, was clearly numb from the shock and simply kept drinking wine.
The revelry continued all night.
At dawn the next day, Ye Jia awoke groggily. He saw a expanse of white in his arms—the Empress, sleeping soundly and sweetly. A gentle smile appeared on his face.
He got up quietly. Even though Ye Jia moved as gently as possible, the Empress still noticed him.
"Husband... why are you getting up so early? Sleep a little longer..."
However, his Observation Haki had already detected rapidly approaching footsteps outside.
Soon, the door opened, and the Empress's two sisters quickly walked in.
"Lord Ye Jia!"
Upon seeing Ye Jia, the two sisters respectfully bowed.
"Sandersonia, Marigold, what's wrong?"
The Empress had a deep understanding with her two sisters. They walked in without even greeting him, clearly indicating that something very important had happened.
"Empress, Marine warships are approaching!"
Marigold's expression was visibly unnatural.
"Marine warships? I understand. It must be about Ace, the second division commander of Whitebeard, being captured... When the Marines arrive, just tell them directly. I don't have time, and I don't want to get involved in the commotion."
Without another word, the Empress immediately decided not to participate in the war against Whitebeard.
"Empress, the situation is probably going to be much worse..."
Sandersonia said with a troubled expression, "The one leading the Marine warships isn't just anyone, it's a Marine Headquarters Admiral, Aokiji!"
At these words, the Empress, who had just been half-asleep, instantly sobered up.
"Is it about Blackbeard and Doflamingo from yesterday?"
The Empress frowned, "The clashes among the Warlords should have nothing to do with the World Government... for an Admiral to come, isn't that making too much of a fuss?"
"Aokiji is here?"
Ye Jia seemed to have anticipated it, but he was still a little surprised to hear Aokiji's name. "I'll go meet him!"
