At the harbor of Amazon Lily.
Granny Nyon was very worried. Ever since Boa Hancock met this man named Ryuen, her personality had changed instantly.
Back then, as someone who'd been through it, she knew that Hancock had fallen for this man named Ryuen.
And luckily, while Hancock's lovesickness was bad at first, it got better after she went out to sea and saw Ryuen again.
This was something to be thankful for, because Hancock had escaped the curse that caused all the past queens of Amazon Lily to die of lovesickness!
So she became curious about this man Ryuen.
Although there had been a lot of news about him in the papers, you can only learn so much from the newspaper.
It wasn't until she heard Hancock say that Ryuen was coming to Amazon Lily, and knew the reason why, that she started to worry.
She hadn't expected that Ryuen had not only taken out one of the Five Elders of the World Government, but was also planning to overthrow the Celestial Dragons!
As someone who had experienced the God Valley incident, she didn't think Ryuen had the ability to do that.
So now she was very worried about Hancock getting so close to Ryuen.
The crocodile sea king slowly approached the harbor of Amazon Lily, until they could see each other clearly.
At that moment,
Hancock couldn't hold back. She shouted excitedly towards Ryuen, not caring about her image:
"Ryuen!"
"You've finally come to Amazon Lily. Are you here to marry me...?"
Thump~
As soon as Hancock said this, people at the harbor and those on top of the sea kings almost dropped their jaws in shock.
But Hancock didn't see anyone else. At this moment, her mind was full of Ryuen.
Ryuen was stunned.
But he quickly realized that this was the real Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock!
However, Shirahoshi on top of the crocodile sea king was completely speechless.
What?
Ryuen is coming to Amazon Lily to marry this woman named Boa Hancock?
No way…
She instantly looked at Ryuen with pitiful eyes:
"Ryuen, are you really here to marry her? Shirahoshi... Shirahoshi doesn't want to see Ryuen get married..."
Ryuen was speechless:
"Shirahoshi, don't overthink it. That's just her personality. Her thinking is different from ours..."
Hearing Ryuen say he wasn't here to get married, Shirahoshi's eyes instantly lit up.
"Ryuen!"
"I missed you so much..."
Hancock's voice came again at this time.
And then the sea kings docked, and Ryuen and the others walked up.
Shirahoshi had a bubble ring around her tail, allowing her to float. Even on land, she could wiggle her tail and 'swim' along.
"Um... Hancock, thanks for this time. Shirahoshi's secret here can't be revealed..." Ryuen said a little awkwardly.
He felt like he was becoming more and more of a bad guy.
"Ryuen~"
"Don't worry, I will protect this mermaid princess well~" Boa Hancock was very shy at the moment. She even shyly hid behind Marigold.
Then she stuck out her cute face and looked at Ryuen with a peeking gesture.
Before Ryuen landed, she had seen Ryuen, and the actions she made could be said to be very bold.
But now that she was close, she suddenly felt her body heating up, as if she was completely red and hot.
This left Ryuen at a loss for words...
At this moment.
Granny Nyon and the others looked at Ryuen, then at Shirahoshi.
The nearly twelve-meter-tall mermaid princess Shirahoshi was standing right in front of them, which was a bit shocking.
And they had a big question in their hearts.
Why would Ryuen bring this mermaid princess named Shirahoshi to their Amazon Lily and ask Hancock to protect her?
You know, Ryuen's strength and reputation are far beyond what Hancock can match...
And Shirahoshi felt very shy being watched by so many strangers. She quietly moved behind Ryuen and said weakly:
"Ryuen..."
Hearing Shirahoshi's voice, Ryuen came back to his senses and smiled reassuringly at Shirahoshi:
"Shirahoshi, it's okay. They are all good people. You will make a lot of friends here."
Then Ryuen looked at Granny Nyon and the others:
"You must be Granny Nyon. I've heard of you for a long time. Due to some reasons, could you please take care of Shirahoshi for a while..."
Before Granny Nyon could answer, Hancock spoke faster than her.
"Ryuen, don't worry, Shirahoshi will be very safe with me!"
After saying that, she shrank back behind Marigold.
She knows Shirahoshi's special identity, but she did not tell the Amazon Lily pirates or Granny Nyon about it.
Because she also knows that the fewer people know about Shirahoshi's special identity, the better.
It is precisely because of Shirahoshi's special identity that she is not so resistant to Shirahoshi as a mermaid princess.
She thought that for Ryuen's sake, she should treat this woman named Shirahoshi better in the future.
"Then I can rest assured. Thank you, Hancock. I only feel relieved when Shirahoshi is with you." Ryuen said sincerely to Hancock.
But when Hancock heard his words, she interpreted them in another way...
"Sigh..."
"In that case, please follow me to the palace first. We can talk about the rest there. The harbor can't be closed for too long..." Granny Nyon said helplessly at this time.
"That's right, that's right!"
"Ryuen, knowing that you were coming today, I got up early and prepared a lot of food."
"That mean woman said that you have a big appetite, so I prepared a lot of food..." Hancock peeked out her head from behind Marigold and said quickly.
And she stared at Ryuen with eager eyes.
"Okay... okay... Then let's go..." Ryuen said, bracing himself against Hancock's gaze.
Then,
Led by Granny Nyon, the group walked towards the palace of the Amazon Lily kingdom.
As for Hancock, she suddenly changed her hiding spot to look at Ryuen, moving towards the palace in this way.
At this time, Daisy's eyes towards Ryuen were a little meaningful.
When they left Skypiea, Nami had a long phone call with that woman named Hancock.
The final result was that Nami didn't come to Amazon Lily with them, and Hancock paid some price and got what she wanted.
But now, looking at Hancock's shy appearance, she wondered if this woman could really do what she said...
