Detective: I'm Sato Miwako's Informant

Shiraishi Osamu gave an awkward laugh and said, "No, that's not true!"

Empress Lorna said, "Then give me a chance. I will serve you well while you stay here, and we will have many, many little monkeys."

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Xiu's face showed a hint of embarrassment. He really didn't expect that Empress Lorna, a dignified empress, would say such shameless things.

Under Shiraishi Xiu's burning gaze, Empress Lorna realized her slip of the tongue and covered her face, turning away to say, "Really. I was out of my mind. That's why I said such nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Shiraishi Xiu burst into laughter and said, "You just said you wanted to have my babies, which is really strange to me."

snort!

Empress Lorna turned around and said reproachfully, "So what if you don't want to? What's the big deal? Anyway, I can have as many men as I want. My suitors could line up all the way to the Western Sea!"

Shiraishi Xiu laughed heartily and said, "Then you are truly remarkable. Someone like me is indeed not worthy of you!"

Empress Lorna was speechless for a moment, but seeing Shiroshi Xiu's serious expression, she felt a surge of emotion, as if she still had a lot to say, but Shiroshi Xiu rejected her outright.

With tears in her eyes, Empress Lorna said to Shiraishi Xiu, "I really didn't mean that, I..."

For a moment, she didn't know what to say. A hush fell over the air; you could hear a pin drop.

Chapter 0967: Refusal

Empress Lorna suddenly said, "Is it really impossible...? Is there absolutely no possibility between us..."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "That's not true, I don't know either. Anyway, if you insist on making me your man, I will definitely refuse!"

Why are you rejecting me?

Empress Lorna said.

Shiraishi Xiu said with a grin, "I've already made it clear to you, haven't I? '483' means that this era is not suitable for marriage, so I don't plan to marry you. It's not that you're not good enough or outstanding enough."

"You're lying! You're lying!"

Empress Lorna became anxious, stamping her feet as she did so, appearing extremely agitated.

Shiraishi Xiu approached Empress Lorna, patted her hair, and comforted her, "I'm so sorry. No matter what, you're a good girl. I'm so happy to accept your confession today. It warms my heart."

"Then just say yes!"

Empress Lorna spoke with tears in her eyes.

Shiraishi Xiu, however, remained firm in his decision, shaking his head and saying, "No, it really won't work. As for the reason, I've already emphasized it many times."

Empress Lorna then turned and left, bursting out the door like a heartbroken kitten, disappearing from Shiraishi Xiu's sight!

Just then, a figure sneaked up in front of Shiraishi Xiu; it was none other than Boa Hancock.

Shiraishi Osamu glanced at Boa Hancock, who was hiding in the corner, and couldn't help but say, "Did you hear what was just said...?"

Boa Hancock stuck her tongue out at Shiraishi Shu and said, "Yeah, I heard it all. You rejected our country's empress, it's really too... I don't know what to say!"

Boa Hancock continued, "I originally came here to steal some food, but I never expected to witness this earth-shattering scene of emotional conflict."

Shiraishi Shu laughed heartily, pointed to the roast goose on the table, and said to Boa Hancock, "You can eat all of these chicken legs, duck legs, and the big pig's udder, since you're so awesome!"

Boa Hancock glanced at Osamu Shiraishi and said, "How could a girl like her possibly eat that much?"

Then, ignoring Shiraishi Xiu, he strolled to the dining table and began to eat by himself.

Seeing Boa Hancock wolfing down her food, Osamu Shiraishi busied himself pouring her drinks while asking, "Tell me! Are you happy to be back in your own country?"

Boa Hancock stopped eating and said to Shiraishi Osamu, "Aren't you happy? Grandma dotes on me, she hardly wants me to do anything, I feel like a princess!"

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "Yes, you are the princess of this country. Because I brought you back, they dare not neglect you."

Boa Hancock suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I see. Thank you so much..."

In just a few short periods of time, Boa Hancock seemed to have matured considerably.

Shiraishi Xiu couldn't help but say, "What have you been through these past few days? Your tone of voice has become so proper!"

Boa Hancock stuck out her tongue and said, "Really? Is that so? I don't know. Anyway, my mother-in-law told me that this country has its own rules, and some etiquette must be learned, so I think it's necessary to change my previous attitude and habits!"

Chapter 0968: Wine Glass

Hearing this, Shiraishi Osamu was very pleased and said, "You have indeed matured a lot, which makes me very happy."

With that, Shiraishi Osamu raised his glass and said to Boa Hancock, "Come on, let's have a drink."

Boa Hancock shook her head and said, "Children shouldn't drink alcohol!"

Just then, Boa Hancock wiped her mouth. Taking advantage of Shiraishi's inattention, she secretly kissed him, then turned and disappeared without a trace.

Shiraishi Xiu stood there, stunned, and muttered to himself, "What... what is going on here?"

Boa Hancock's 10 actions couldn't be clearer: she was declaring that she also liked Shiraishi Osamu.

Grandma was tidying up a piece of brocade in the room. The brocade had a map of the sea on it.

Unbeknownst to her, Shiraishi Xiu had already come up behind her.

"Grandma, excuse me for bothering you, but I still have something to ask you!"

Shiraishi Xiu said softly.

Hearing this, the old woman wasn't surprised, and simply said, "It's about those girls, isn't it..."

Shiraishi Xiu smiled at her, walked to the bedside and sat down, saying, "How did you know?"

Grandma turned around and said to Bai Shixiu, "You must be laughing at me. These girls are all so useless."

Shiraishi Osamu smiled and said, "Is that so? Not really. Maybe it's because I'm too handsome!"

Grandma rolled her eyes at Bai Shixiu and said, "I'm already quite old, and I've seen plenty of real handsome men!"

Hearing this, Shiraishi Osamu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then who do you think is the most handsome on the sea!"

After thinking it over carefully, Grandma said, "White Beard, I don't think there are any other handsome men besides him."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed and said, "Alright, I admit you're right. Compared to Whitebeard, many men pale in comparison."

Great minds think alike!

What my mother-in-law said.

Shiraishi Osamu smiled and said, "Then I came to see you today because there is something important, not because of romantic feelings!"

Grandma said seriously, "I can tell you're not a superficial man!"

Shiraishi Xiu said, "It seems that you, sir, have given this matter considerable thought."

At this moment, Grandma Za was silent for a moment, then said, "To be honest, I think it would be good for you to marry our Empress."

Shiraishi Xiu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but this is the one thing I absolutely cannot compromise on."

Grandma said, "So what do you plan to do?"

Shiraishi Xiu said with a grin, "I plan to incorporate this place into my empire. You should have heard of me!"

Grandma 483 nodded seriously and said, "Of course I've heard of your great name. You are Shiraishi Xiu."

Shiraishi Osamu laughed heartily and said, "Yes, so would you like to form an alliance with me?"

"I'm afraid that's not something I can decide!"

Grandma Za said to Bai Shixiu, "You should know that this country belongs to our Land King, who is Lorna. That little girl has always done a good job. I never expected that she would fall in love with you. It's quite unexpected."

Shiraishi Osamu scratched his head awkwardly and said, "So I have to get his opinion before I can get your country to govern our country?"

Grandma nodded and said:

Chapter 0969: The Perfect Plan

"More or less, but I'll go and explain it to you first, so you can persuade her."

Shiraishi Osamu said with a grin, "In that case, thank you."

Grandma Za said seriously, "In the long run, this is indeed a perfect plan, so I have no reason not to agree. I don't know why she doesn't agree; I guess she's just being childish."

Grandma Za's words were like a club, striking the deepest part of Bai Shixiu's soul.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Shiraishi Xiu said something to Granny Za, then turned and left.

Just then, Grandma Zha lifted the curtain to the side, and there stood Lorna.

The old woman said, still angry, "You heard what he said just now!"

Empress Lorna bit her red lips and said, "I heard it. So what? Since he doesn't agree to marry me, there's no need for my country to be subservient to him."

Grandma said, "That's enough, you mustn't be so willful. You probably don't pay much attention to the news. This protagonist has a lot of influence outside. If anyone could directly overthrow the World Government, I reckon it would be him."

Empress Lorna glanced at her mother-in-law and said, "I never expected that you, old lady, would also be so infatuated with him!"

The old woman became anxious and said, "Now that things have come to this, don't give me any more of this nonsense. I'm already so old."

Empress Lorna sneered and said, "You really are shameless!"

Empress Lorna showed absolutely no respect for her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law knew she was just being dramatic.

All women are a little bit pretentious, even an empress like Empress Lorna.

Grandma sat down and said, "I know. You used such methods to deal with him because he wouldn't give you a chance. This is simply absurd. You should know that you are the emperor of a country and cannot be so willful."

Empress Lorna jumped up and exclaimed excitedly, "I'm going to be willful!"

Grandma Za said, "Your willfulness will bring huge losses to our country. Do you even understand that?"

After saying that, Granny Za jumped off the chair and stood in front of Empress Lorna, grabbed her shoulders, and shook her repeatedly while saying, "Listen to me carefully, this country is not your plaything. Everyone trusts you, and you must take responsibility for us!"

For a moment, Empress Lorna's eyes glazed over. She remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a sigh of relief and saying, "I don't want to be emperor anymore."

Crystalline tears streamed down her face as Empress Lorna continued, "If I had to make a choice, I would choose love!"

"Love is bullshit!"

"Your mother-in-law scolded you angrily, 'This is completely unrequited love! No one likes you at all! The main character doesn't like you!'"

"No! He likes me, he just said it!"

Empress Lorna smiled sweetly and said contentedly.

"He said he likes you?"
