"This is such a strange snake. It can fly and it's such a cute pink color."
Kikyo took the letter, put it away solemnly, and said to Weiwei: "Wait here for a moment, I will report to Granny Flame Flower now."
Although the details are still unclear, Kikyo has already believed what Vivi said.
After all, Granny Flame Flower hasn't left Nine Snake Island for many years, and there are not many people in the outside world who know Granny.
Kikyo took the letter and quickly rushed towards the Nine Snakes Castle. On the way, she met Granny Flame Flower who was heading towards the port.
She took out the letter, handed it to Granny Flame Flower, and then reported in detail what she saw and heard at the dock.
Granny Flame Flower opened the letter, quickly glanced through it, and confirmed that it was indeed Xia Qi's handwriting. The letter mentioned that these people came to the island to practice domineering.
"Go, Kikyo, this is indeed the letter from the previous emperor. Go back to the dock, open the gate, and invite these guests to dock to prevent them from being attacked by sea kings outside. I will be there soon." Grandma Flame Flower ordered.
After receiving the order, Kikyo quickly turned back and rushed towards the port.
Just as she was about to reach the city wall, a deafening thunder suddenly came from outside the wall.
When she hurriedly climbed up the city wall, she saw a sea monster larger than the ship, floating on the water with black smoke coming out of its body.
The patriotic warriors stared at the guests not far away in amazement.
At this time, her team member Margaret came forward and reported the situation to her.
Just now, a sea king appeared in the sea and tried to attack the ship, but a girl on the ship exerted the powerful power of thunder and lightning and killed the sea king with one blow.
In order to ensure that the guests would no longer be threatened by sea kings, Kikyo conveyed the order of Granny Flame Flower and opened the gate to allow the guests to enter the safe harbor.
After receiving the reply from the national defenders, Nami drove the Orange Windmill and docked it steadily at the pier in the port.
El used Flame Cloud to drag the sea king that he had just killed to the shore.
Weiwei and the other female crew members disembarked, quietly waiting to be received by Grandma Flame Flower.
Ai'er continued to use the Flame Cloud to smoothly transport the supplies on the ship to the shore and stacked them neatly.
Xia Qi purchased the relatively scarce supplies on Nine Snake Island. When Al placed them on the dock, they immediately attracted the attention of the national defenders, and many of them showed joy in their eyes.
At this time, Granny Flame Flower also came to the port. She welcomed Weiwei and her group in a friendly manner, and then arranged for the national defenders to transport the supplies on the dock back to Nine Snakes City.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Weiwei and the others, Granny Flame Flower noticed that she didn't see any strange male figures, so she asked, "Is your captain on board?"
The women's eyes were focused on the little dragon that El had transformed into.
Al said, "Grandma Flame Flower, please follow me."
After that, Al rode the flame cloud back to the kitchen in the cabin and regained his human form.
When Granny Flame Flower walked into the restaurant, she looked around and said with emotion: "This is a really nice ship. It reminds me of the days when I was a pirate."
Al followed up her topic and complimented her: "Of course that's different. You were in the Rocks Pirates back then. Three of the Four Emperors on the ocean today were your companions back then."
Granny Flame Flower nodded when she heard this, with a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes. "You do know our Nine Snake Island well. Xia Qi is right. A man like you cannot be easily allowed to set foot on the land of Nine Snake Island."
El smiled bitterly after hearing this, handed the brewed tea to Granny Flame Flower, and said sincerely: "I came here only to teach the crew how to use Haki. Nine Snake Island is the most suitable place in the world. Apart from this, I have no other purpose."
"Indeed, your captain's girls are all stunning beauties, so they naturally look down on the girls from my Nine Snake Island. Xia Qi has spoken, and I will teach them about the practice of domineering, so don't worry."
"Thank you so much, Grandma Flame Flower!" Al said as he handed a stack of sorted newspapers to Grandma Flame Flower.
Granny Flame Flower took the newspaper and glanced at Al: "Although I haven't seen a man for many years, I believe that being your enemy is a terrible thing. You actually know so much about the hobbies of an old woman like me who has lived in seclusion for decades."
"I just thought that since this is a doldrum, there shouldn't be any news birds or merchants coming here, so I prepared this little gift."
After confirming that El would not land on Nine Snake Island, Granny Flame Flower accepted the newspaper and immediately took Vivi and the others to leave the port and head to Nine Snake City.
They followed behind the Flame Flower Granny, and everything around them felt extremely new and interesting.
Not long after the girls left, in the greenhouse where Robin was carefully cultivating Den Den Mushi, a tiny Den Den Mushi suddenly made a slight vibration sound.
Al noticed the change and quickly walked towards the greenhouse, only to see that the Den Den Mushi's eyes were flickering, obviously having received a communication request.
He gently picked up the Den Den Mushi and answered the call.
"Hello, I'm Vice Admiral Gion from the Marine Headquarters. Are you Lord Eir, one of the Shichibukai?" A woman's clear voice came from the microphone.
Al was a little surprised that it was Vice Admiral Taotu who called, and quickly replied, "Hello, Vice Admiral Taotu, I'm Al, what can I do for you?"
Chapter 51: Compulsory Convocation (Please recommend and collect)
"It's like this, Lord El," Momosaki's voice became serious, "The Navy is about to publicly execute the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division, Fire Fist Portgas D. Ace. According to the mandatory summons from the World Government, you must come to the Marine Headquarters in Maryford within ten days. If you refuse, your title of Shichibukai will be revoked."
"No problem, Vice Admiral Taotu, I will definitely participate. It's just that I'm a bit far away from Maryford now, so it may take some time for me to get there. But I can promise that I will arrive before the execution."
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, and then Taotu's voice sounded again: "Then it's a deal, Lord Al. I'll be waiting for you at the headquarters."
After confirming that El would attend as scheduled, Vice Admiral Momosa hung up the Den Den Mushi.
At this time, Vivi and her group, who were received in Jiushe City, were arranged to practice domineering under the guidance of the captain of the national warriors, Kikyo.
However, this decision of Granny Flame Flower made the heroic captain seem somewhat distressed.
The women on the Nine Snake Island began their domineering training almost since they were children, and it is undoubtedly inappropriate to apply such a training system to Weiwei and others.
She arranged for several national warriors to accompany them on their tour of the village, while she convened an emergency meeting.
With everyone's brainstorming, she gradually found a feasible solution.
After Vivi and her group returned from visiting the most lively arena in the village, Kikyo confidently announced a training plan specially designed for them.
The place where they practiced was not on Nine Snake Island, but on the nearby Ruskaina Island, an uninhabited island that was home to countless huge and ferocious beasts.
The reason why Kikyo dared to propose such a bold plan was that she had witnessed with her own eyes the magical power of thunder and lightning of Nami and the others, which made her believe that they could hone their domineering power in that dangerous land.
When they returned to the ship, Al was lying quietly in the lounge, playing with a piece of seastone in his hand.
Nami and her group gathered around, and Weiwei was the first to speak: "Captain, we are going to a nearby uninhabited island to practice tomorrow!"
El thought about it and felt that that should be the island where Luffy would practice Haki in the future, but the strongest animals there were as powerful as the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
So he said, "Then you better be careful, it's a very dangerous place."
"Really? I think we shouldn't be afraid of animals given our strength." Nami took over the conversation, with a hint of joking regret in her tone, "Captain, it's a pity that you can't set foot on Nine Snake Island."
Those animals that don't have Haki really can't cause any harm to Nami.
Al chuckled, put down the seastone in his hand, and listened to the girls' narration.
Thinking about what they had seen on the road, Nojigo said, "This is the first time we have come to an island inhabited by women. People here dress boldly and openly, and beautiful figures can be seen everywhere."
Robin added in her characteristic voice: "What surprised me most was that here, beauty is defined by strength. No matter what you look like, as long as you show enough strength, you can be considered beautiful. It's a really unique place."
Al nodded in understanding. "Perhaps it is precisely because they are all women and belong to a fighting nation that they have formed such a culture that respects strength."
Dashiqi said at the side: "It's a pity that I didn't get to see the legendary Queen Hancock. I wonder how beautiful she is."
El warned: "You have to be careful when you meet the Empress. Her fruit ability can turn anyone who becomes obsessed with her into stone. No one except herself can remove this state. However, you can use the pain to avoid her ability when she uses her ability."
"It does sound dangerous," Weiwei said gently, "but I think I can still control myself."
As she said this, she turned her head and looked at Keya beside her, "After all, we have Keya here. Her skin is truly something that all women envy."
When Kaya heard this, her cheeks flushed slightly.
Several girls were chatting and laughing happily, and Al sat quietly aside with a faint smile on his face.
He took out the life paper that he had made in the past few days from his pocket, tore it into appropriate sizes, and handed it to each of his companions present.
"These are my life papers. I may be away for a while in the next few days. In addition to using Den Den Mushi to contact me, the life papers can be used to know my location and reflect my condition."
Al patiently explained to them the function of life paper and gave them detailed instructions on how to make this special prop.
This was the knowledge he had learned when communicating with Big Bear a few days ago. He had just asked casually at the time to prevent someone from relying on life paper to find Big Bear's location. Unexpectedly, he learned how to make life paper by accident.
Ke Ya took the life paper, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, "El, what are you going to do? Do you need us to go with you?"
Al shook his head gently and said in a reassuring tone, "It will be more convenient for me to go on this mission by myself. You guys stay here and practice your Haki."
As Al finished his words, the atmosphere in the originally lively restaurant suddenly became a little heavy.
Everyone's eyes were on Al, wanting to know more.
As if noticing everyone's mood changes, Al added: "Actually, I'm planning to go to Impel Prison. According to the information I got, there may be some changes there recently, and I want to take this opportunity to find a fruit that suits Tashigi's ability."
Hearing this, Dashiqi opened her eyes wide, "Imperial Prison is one of the most secure prisons in the world! Captain, do you really want to go there?"
"Don't worry," Al replied, "I only plan to sneak in quietly, not to challenge the guards there head-on. If we have too many people, it will easily cause unnecessary trouble."
After listening to Al's explanation, the atmosphere in the restaurant gradually returned to calm.
Although Impel Prison is one of the most heavily guarded places in the world, considering the extraordinary strength and wisdom that Al has shown along the way, they don't think Impel can stop the captain.
However, this was also mixed with a hint of regret. They exchanged glances and read the same thoughts in each other's eyes.
If they were strong enough, they would be able to accompany the captain to Impel and face challenges together. This thought made them feel a little unwilling.
"I must become stronger." Nami made up her mind secretly, "So that next time I won't be left behind due to lack of strength."
The night was as dark as ink, and the stars were twinkling in the sky. Al was lying on the deck, gazing up at the sky full of stars, his thoughts rising and falling.
Chapter 52: First Meeting with Hancock (Please recommend and collect)
The other girls have returned to their rooms to rest and prepare for the next day's domineering practice.
Because he intervened early to change Kuma's fate, the Straw Hat Pirates' experiences in the Sabaody Archipelago also changed.
Without the help of Kuma, even with the help of Rayleigh, Luffy would not be able to reach the Impel Undersea Prison in time to rescue Ace.
"If I could get the help of Empress Hancock..." Al said to himself, but then shook his head.
"But I have never beaten up a Celestial Dragon. Even if I break into the bathroom, I won't get the same result as Luffy. Besides, I certainly can't ignore the Empress's abilities in her bathroom."
Another option is to wait for Blackbeard Teach to attack Impel Prison and take the opportunity to sneak in, but if you do that, in addition to facing a more complicated situation, you will also need to be on guard against Blackbeard, this dangerous opponent, at all times.
After a long while, Al finally sighed and decided to put aside these worries for the time being. "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. The most important thing now is to wait for the Queen to come back."
The next morning, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Platycodon had already arrived at the port. Her figure looked particularly heroic in the morning light.
Following her instructions, the group sailed to the uninhabited island of Ruskaina not far away.
After arriving at the island, Kikyo carefully assessed everyone's strength and grouped them according to their characteristics.
Nami was assigned to fight alone due to the ability of her nature-type fruit.
Robin and Kaya form a pair. Kaya can flexibly slide away the attacks of wild beasts, while Robin's ability of the Hana-Hana Fruit can launch attacks from unexpected angles, making it difficult for wild beasts to defend themselves.
Nokigo, Vivi and Tashigi form a team. If they encounter danger, Nokigo's barrier ability can provide protection in the first time.
Whenever a battle begins, Kikyo will stand aside and watch their movements. At this time, she not only teaches them how to practice domineering, but also gives them guidance on physical skills.
In the following days, this deserted island became their battlefield.
Every battle with wild beasts is extremely difficult. These huge and ferocious creatures not only possess amazing strength, but also have thick skin and flesh, making them difficult to deal with.
But it is precisely such challenges that allow them to continue to grow in actual combat. Although they have not yet fully realized the essence of domineering, everyone feels that their combat effectiveness has been significantly improved.
El also went deep into the deserted island and faced those beings known as the kings of beasts alone.
Each of these behemoths has a combat power comparable to that of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and can easily defeat Luffy in Gear 2 or Gear 3 mode.
However, with the strong physique given by Kaido's bloodline and the all-round ability improvement brought by the Blue Dragon Fruit, he has the upper hand in the confrontation with these beasts.
After hard training and fierce fighting, Al also made a breakthrough on this deserted island, not only creating basic moves such as the Fire Fist and the Thunder Fist.
It also strengthens the two long-range moves, Storm Kick and Flying Finger Gun, making them more swift and powerful, with each strike being as powerful as thunder.
In addition, Al also studied the use of lightning to stimulate the body, allowing himself to temporarily gain enhanced speed and strength.
Once this ability is successfully developed, he will be able to perform self-pacing like Enel, and combined with the recovery ability brought by the animal-type fruit, he can achieve a simplified version of the Liberation Drum effect.
On the afternoon of the third day after they arrived on the island, a ship towed by two huge snakes slowly appeared on the sea surface.
After the ship named Perfume Serpent docked, Queen Boa Hancock and Granny Flame Flower walked down from the ship together.
When this legendary world's most beautiful woman appeared in front of everyone, everyone's eyes were attracted by her stunning beauty.
Every move of Boa Hancock is full of elegance and confidence. Her beauty lies not only in her appearance, but also in the temperament that radiates from the inside out.
But what embarrassed them was that the empress did not respond to their greetings, but directly asked about Al's location and then left.
After the empress left, Kikyo explained to everyone: "Snake-sama is just like this, but no matter what she does, everyone will forgive her because of her beauty."
Nami, Vivi and Kaya looked at each other, with a hint of worry in their eyes.
