Chapter 239
In fact, Baby-5 also knew that the two of them were going to a very dangerous place to save people and not to play around.
Big Mom’s territory was no different from a dragon’s pool or a tiger’s den, making it difficult for people to relax at all.
“No matter what, it is still too dangerous. You don’t have to risk your life for a favor, do you?” Baby-5 shouted. Firstly, she did not want her husband to take such a big risk. Secondly, it was the Empress’ appearance that made her instinctively feel threatened.
Leiyin smiled and touched Baby-5’s head. “To put my life on the line? It seems that you still don’t believe in my strength. Let me tell you, I recently mastered a big ultimate move. Let alone Big Mom, even Whitebeard is no match for me…”
Big ultimate move? Even Whitebeard is no match for me?
Are you kidding?
She didn’t know if Leiyin wanted to make her feel at ease, or if there really was such a thing, but looking at her confused expression, she most likely believed it.
Baby-5 could be considered a woman who had experienced many things. She might not believe the words of others, but for her husband, Leiyin, who loved her so much, she would always choose to believe unconditionally.
This was her silly and sweet side.
Seeing how close Leiyin and Baby-5 were, the Empress felt extremely uncomfortable. She dragged Leiyin and urged him to hurry and leave with her.
Before he left, Leiyin instructed, “Ruma, Clavin, Bon Kurei, I’ll leave the base to you. After I leave, you have to defend properly.”
Ruma, Clavin, Bon Kurei said, “Don’t worry, captain.”
“Little girl, you have to take good care of yourself. When I come back, I will bring you delicious snacks. Big Mom doesn’t lack these things.”
Baby-5 nodded.
After Leiyin finished, the Empress couldn’t wait to pull him away.
Many people in Leiyin’s pirate group knew that Leiyin was an extremely a.s.sertiveperson. If he decided something, ordinary people would definitely not be able to change it, so they didn’t try to dissuade him too much. Even if they were very nervous… That was the territory of the Four Emperors…
There was no point in saying more. The Empress and Leiyin boarded a small boat and headed to the Whole Cake Island.
On the way, the Empress kept looking at Leiyin with her beautiful eyes, which made Leiyin feel uncomfortable. “Hey, why are you looking at me all the time?”
The Empress said, “If you don’t look at me, how do you know that I am looking at you?”
“Tsk, unreasonable.”
After Leiyin finished speaking, the Empress walked over directly. Compared to her face, her face was only two fists away.
Leiyin was shocked and quickly jumped away. “Hey, why are you suddenly so close to me? Are you crazy?”
The Empress said in a strange tone, “Tsk, I didn’t expect that a little brat like you would actually get married.”
Leiyin replied, “What little brat? You speak as if you are very old.”
“Hmph, I am twenty-two years old this year. You are only twenty years old. If you are not a little brat, what are you?”
“You are only two years older. What is there to be proud of?”
Following that, the Empress cleared her throat. Her face was a little red. “Hey, let me ask you, what is that girl doing?”
She was naturally asking about Leiyin’s wife, Baby-5.
“Like you, she is a pirate.” Leiyin’s tone was stiff.
“Then, how did you get to know each other?” The Empress asked softly.
Leiyin looked at her. “Hey, we are here to save people. Why do you keep asking me about my private life?”
The Empress was also angry. “If you don’t want to tell me, then don’t tell me. Why are you so aggressive? Tsk, even if you don’t tell me, I would still know. Hmph!”
Although the Empress said this, she actually cared a lot in her heart.
The illness that the Empress had previously contracted was lovesickness, which was why she had recovered half of her health the moment Leiyin appeared.
Although he was already a husband, the Empress felt that as long as she could see him every day, she would be satisfied.
“Hey! What is that thing?”
As the two of them were sailing, they heard the Empress shout.
The two of them looked at a giant red crab with a green turtle sh.e.l.l on its back. It was more than sixty meters long and suddenly intercepted the sea surface.
Compared to the Grand Line route, the sea route in the New World was more dangerous, and the creatures were more strange and powerful.
Later, Leiyin learned that the monster in front of him was called Turtle Crab. It was a giant sea beast.
“Sweet wind!”
When the Empress saw this, she took the initiative to attack. She gestured at Turtle Crab with a peach heart and a pink peach heart wave suddenly shot out. This wave of light almost covered all the giant beasts.
However.
The reaction of Turtle Crab, who was attacked by the light wave, was not even affected, let alone petrified.
“Ha, it seems that your charm doesn’t work, Hanc.o.c.k.” Leiyin joked.
“What time is it? Are you still in the mood to joke? Wow, it’s attacking!” The Empress was so frightened that she immediately threw herself into Leiyin’s arms.
Leiyin ignored this at first. Instead, he stared at the charging Turtle Crab and gathered the white energy on his index and middle fingers. Then, he suddenly slashed,
“White Blade!”
The white energy brought with it a ma.s.sive ripple, as if it wanted to cut through the sky. When it received a strike that was like a grand sword energy, the body of the Turtle Crab was directly cut into two. It spat out a large amount of viscous blood, dyeing the nearby sea water in another color.
The Empress, who was in Leiyin’s arms, turned her head to look and was already stunned.
Just a casual wave of his hand was enough to split the giant beast in half?
What kind of power was this?
Just as the Empress was secretly shocked, Leiyin pushed her away from his embrace and asked, “What are you doing?”
The Empress said, “Can’t I even lean on you for a bit? b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
Seeing her like this, Leiyin couldn’t help but find it funny. “Hey, you are the dignified Kuja Emperor. How can you be so timid? If you are afraid of even a sea beast, wouldn’t you be scared to the point of wetting your pants when you see Big Mom?”
“I… I’m not afraid. I’m just a little scared…”
In the past, the reason why the Empress was able to sail so smoothly was because she had her pet, Salome, who was a poisonous python with excellent water attributes, leading the way in front of her. This made the sea kings and giant sea beasts not dare to approach her ship. Now that she was not by her side, the Empress did not have any support in her heart. Naturally, she was a little timid.
However, fortunately, she had a powerful and bottomless Leiyin by her side.
“You are so intimate with that woman. You can’t even let me lean on you. Tsk, if you don’t let me lean on you, I’m too lazy to lean on you…” The Empress had been brooding over the matter of being pushed away just now.
Not long after, they finally arrived at their destination – Whole Cake Island.
Whole Cake Island was formed from thirty-four islands with the Totto Land as the center. These thirty-four islands were managed by thirty-four officials.
The first thing Leiyin and the Empress did when they came here was to think about how to enter.
Every port in Whole Cake Island was guarded by guards. If an enemy attacked, they would immediately suppress it…
