130: Chapter 129 The Kingdom of Women"Ara, you're awake!By the way, what species are you?Why do you look different from us?" The short-haired, blonde woman who was about to pull down Luffy's pants tilted her head and asked him.Luffy didn't know how to answer for a moment.He wondered to himself, "Who are these people?How did they get here?And where is this place?" Just as Luffy was pondering, an old woman leaning on a snake-shaped cane stepped out from the crowd.Her eyes were sharp, as if she could see through everything.
When she saw Luffy, her expression instantly turned to one of utter surprise: "You, you, you're a man!" The moment the word "man" escaped her lips, the women gathered in the hot spring tensed.They summoned the snakes coiled around their bodies, which instantly transformed into sharp arrows, aimed at Luffy.
"You filthy man, how did you even get onto this island?" the short-haired woman leading the group shouted, her voice filled with anger and wariness.Seeing this, Luffy quickly raised his hands in surrender and said, "Would you believe me if I said I was filmed and ended up on this island?"
Suddenly, the women around Luffy felt deeply insulted, as he seemed to be mocking their intelligence!Enraged, they released their bowstrings without hesitation, and countless arrows imbued with powerful Haki rained down on Luffy!
However, Luffy simply waved his arm, and instantly a fierce wind arose, easily scattering all the arrows!"My God!Quick, write this down!This man can create such a strong wind just by waving his hand!" A petite woman immediately pulled out a small notebook and began writing down this amazing scene.
Feeling a bit troubled, Luffy didn't want to get entangled with these women any longer.He quickly went to the short-haired woman's side.Before the others could react, he effortlessly hoisted her onto his shoulder and soared into the sky like a bird!
Upon seeing this, the women screamed in terror.They quickly rallied their brave warriors and followed closely in the direction Luffy had fled, giving chase with all their might."Hurry!Everyone, speed up!Margaret has been captured by that despicable man!We must rescue her as soon as possible, otherwise no one can predict what terrible things this wicked man might do to Margaret!" The leader decisively opened the city gates and led her valiant warriors in a relentless pursuit of Luffy's departing figure.
After flying for some time, Luffy finally landed slowly on the ground.He carefully placed Margaret on his shoulder and then sat down wearily under a large tree, concentrating his mind to use the wood element within his body to heal his severe injuries.
Margaret, holding a bow and arrow, remained highly vigilant, her arrows always aimed at Luffy.If the man made any wrong move, her sharp arrows would not hesitate to strike him, piercing his body.
Time ticked by, and finally, Luffy opened his eyes, immediately seeing Margaret's current appearance.He couldn't help but chuckle softly, teasingly saying, "Alright, alright, don't be so tense!If I really wanted to do something to you, your Haki is far from enough to faze me!"
Hearing this, Margaret felt a surge of shame and anger.Unable to bear such contempt, she loosened her grip, and the arrow she had been holding flew from the bowstring, carrying her fury and resentment, straight towards Luffy.She wanted to teach this man who had looked down on her a lesson he wouldn't forget.
However, Luffy reacted incredibly quickly.He easily caught the rapidly approaching arrow, then threw it with a backhand motion, sending it flying even faster.It grazed past Margaret's body before striking a huge rock behind her, shattering it into pieces with a deafening roar.
"See?I told you your Haki is too weak against me.And I meant it, I really was blasted here!" Luffy looked at Margaret innocently, then casually waved his hand.Only then did Margaret begin to believe Luffy's words, but she remained wary and kept a certain distance from him.
"Then, with your strength, why were you still knocked away?" Margaret asked curiously, her eyes filled with doubt.
Luffy scratched his head and replied with a smile, "There are plenty of people in this world stronger than me!Although I'm a bit stronger than you, it doesn't mean I'm invincible.That's why young people should take advantage of their youth to go out and explore, broaden their horizons, and that's how they can continuously improve!"
His smile was radiant, as if nothing could bother him.Listening to him, Margaret felt a surge of admiration.This seemingly carefree man possessed such a broad mind and optimistic attitude.The two chatted, Luffy telling Margaret his adventures, and Margaret introducing Luffy to the country.
"Oh, right, Margaret, where's my straw hat?That straw hat is very important to me!" Luffy said, anxiously searching around, but he couldn't find his beloved straw hat.
Margaret frowned, trying to recall what had happened.After a while, she suddenly remembered that when they were giving Luffy a bath, they had taken off their straw hats and placed them aside.
Luffy immediately stood up, stretched, and prepared to go retrieve his straw hat alone.However, Margaret quickly stopped him, saying she wanted to go with him.They went together, intending to explain to everyone that the man was not a bad person.
Luffy shook his head, dissuading him, "After all, the aversion to men is deeply ingrained in this country, and your words alone are unlikely to change the situation.You might even be punished as a traitor.So, let me go alone."
Ignoring Margaret's attempts to stop him, Luffy resolutely flew towards the town alone, leaving Margaret standing there dumbfounded.Not long after, her companions, who had come to rescue her, found her.When they learned from Margaret that Luffy had actually turned back, the female warrior in charge became as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof.
You see, today is the big day of Her Majesty's return!We absolutely cannot let that scoundrel offend Her Majesty!So, everyone hurriedly rushed back again, their hearts filled with anxiety.
Meanwhile, at the port of the Kingdom of Women, a group of women were joyfully welcoming the return of their queen, Boa Hancock.Before long, an exceptionally beautiful and captivating woman, escorted by two tall and imposing women, slowly walked back to the palace.
"Hancock, you should have received the summons from Marine Headquarters, right?Why didn't you go?Aren't you afraid that our country will perish because of this?" The old woman walked quickly up to Hancock and asked anxiously.
