"Oh."
Rayleigh picked up a glass of wine and walked to Akira's side to sit down.
After seeing Hancock, he asked Akira with a strange expression, "I say, little Akira, where did you trick such a beautiful little girl from? Are you preparing to take her back as your wife?"
Rayleigh was definitely a guy with a very poisonous mouth. It was just that it wasn't as obvious as Shakky.
His words not only made Akira feel awkward, but even Hancock, who was on the side, had a flushed face, lowered her head, and was very embarrassed.
Akira said, "I say, Uncle Rayleigh, can we talk properly? This is Hancock. The other two are her younger sisters. They can't find their home. That's why I'm asking you for help."
"Can't find their home?" Rayleigh's face was full of confusion. Shakky, who was on the side, also asked in surprise, "They can't find their home. What's the use of you asking Rayleigh? He doesn't know these little girls."
Akira said in a low voice, "They're from Amazon Lily. They were stranded outside, and encountered some bad things. Now they can't find the way back to Amazon Lily. I know that you're knowledgeable, Uncle Rayleigh. You definitely know how to get to Amazon Lily. That's why I came to ask you."
"They're from Amazon Lily?"
Rayleigh was very surprised. He looked at the Hancock sisters seriously again. After thinking about what Akira had just said, with his intelligence, he immediately guessed that these three little girls might be the slaves that Akira had rescued from Mary Geoise.
However, although he had guessed it, Rayleigh didn't say it. He said, "I really do know about Amazon Lily. However, that place doesn't allow outsiders to enter. So even I can't take you in."
"Then what should we do?" Akira asked.
Rayleigh said, "I know a former empress of Amazon Lily. As long as I can contact her, she can take them back."
Akira immediately said, "Then please help me a lot, Uncle Rayleigh."
Rayleigh laughed, and said, "This isn't anything. I'm also friends with that person. Since these three little girls are from Amazon Lily, then I naturally won't stand idly by. You guys just stay here and wait. I'll find a way to contact her."
Rayleigh was definitely a decisive person. After speaking, he immediately walked out. He should have gone to contact someone.
Akira said to Shakky, "Aunt Sha, I'm troubling you this time. I'll be staying here for a period of time."
Aunt Sha waved her hand, and said, "Alright. I won't ask you for money this time because you did a good thing."
Akira and Tiger releasing the slaves, and attacking the big event of Mary Geoise, might be a heinous bad thing in the eyes of the World Government and ordinary people.
However, in Shakky's eyes, it was doing a good thing. As long as they were pirates, they basically didn't have any good feelings towards the World Government.
Especially since pirates were all pursuing freedom. They hated the slave system even more. Akira doing this kind of thing was truly satisfying.
Rayleigh's actions were still relatively fast. In just five days, he brought Gloriosa, the former former empress of Amazon Lily, to Shakky's Rip-off Bar. Perhaps the name Gloriosa was a bit unfamiliar.
However, as long as they had watched One Piece, everyone knew that there was a small old woman on Amazon Lily, the old woman who was often kicked away by Hancock. She was Gloriosa, the former former empress of Amazon Lily.
"Hancock, you must cultivate well after returning to Amazon Lily. Only by becoming stronger can you protect yourself, and not be bullied by others. Do you understand?"
With their departure imminent, the Hancock sisters were all a bit reluctant to part with Akira. They had been rescued from Mary Geoise by Akira.
Moreover, he had taken care of them all the way. They were very grateful to Akira, and were also very dependent on him. That was why they were so reluctant.
"Brother Akira, will you go to Amazon Lily to visit us?" Hancock asked Akira in a low voice. Her expression was timid.
Akira smiled slightly, and said, "Of course. When I have time, I'll definitely go see you."
However, Akira was just saying it. Amazon Lily rejected outsiders, especially men. Unless Hancock became the empress, he would never be allowed to enter Amazon Lily.
However, he couldn't bear to make the Hancock sisters sad. That was why he had said such certain words.
To Akira's surprise, after he had said these words, that old woman Gloriosa actually opened her mouth, and said, "Young man, if you really want to go see Hancock and the others, go to the edge of Amazon Lily. I'll personally go and welcome you then."
The old woman's sudden words made Akira feel flattered. He didn't understand why she would say these words when he had only met her for the first time. He had to know that Amazon Lily was very exclusive towards men.
Actually, Akira didn't know that on the way that Rayleigh had brought Gloriosa to the Sabaody Archipelago, Rayleigh had told Gloriosa about Akira's matters.
That was why she was so certain about Akira. Even Rayleigh had praised him so much.
A teenager with such a great reputation in the world, even if their Amazon Lily was so exclusive, they had to befriend such a big figure.
Amazon Lily was an island that had been passed down for countless years. However, each generation was worse than the last. Now, their strength was nothing to the world.
If it wasn't because of the location, they would probably have been attacked by other forces long ago.
So for the sake of Amazon Lily's future, they had to have enough strength. If that wasn't possible, they had to befriend strong people and forces.
Akira was young, had strength, and was also the son of the Four Emperor Whitebeard. He was even considered to be the successor of the Whitebeard Pirates.
So being able to befriend such a promising young man was definitely beneficial and harmless to Amazon Lily.
Akira answered, "You're too kind, Grandma. If I have time in the future, I'll definitely make a trip to Amazon Lily."
Gloriosa smiled, and said, "Then I'll wait for you to come to Amazon Lily, young man. Let's go, Hancock."
Under Hancock and the others' reluctant gazes, they still left with Gloriosa.
North Blue!
"According to the information, the place where the Navy and the pirates are trading the Ope Ope no Mi is not far from here. However, finding the specific location is a bit troublesome."
Akira had determined a rough location based on his understanding of the One Piece world, plus Shakky's information on the Navy's recent troop deployment and operation near the North Blue.
However, he really wasn't confident about which island it was.
Since he couldn't determine the specific location, Akira could only search in the vicinity. What he was searching for was Corazon and Trafalgar Law. As long as he found these two people, he would be able to find the Ope Ope no Mi.
However, he didn't know if it was because Akira's luck was bad, or if he shouldn't have gotten the Ope Ope no Mi. He hadn't found his target after wandering around for half a day.
Until one day, when he was flying in the air, he saw a small island 107 that was suddenly enveloped by a large area of something like a cage. It seemed to be formed of white strings.
"Is that Birdcage?"
Seeing this phenomenon, Akira immediately reacted. This move was probably Doflamingo's ultimate move, Birdcage.
He also remembered that Doflamingo had used Birdcage to surround a small island because he wanted to get the Ope Ope no Mi. However, he still hadn't succeeded in the end.
"It's there."
Akira's heart shook greatly. He immediately rushed towards the location of that small island. He was different from Doflamingo. Doflamingo wanted to get the Ope Ope no Mi, and then use that ability to get infinite life.
However, he just wanted to use the ability of the Ope Ope no Mi to unlock Minazuki's Bankai. After all, no one could say for sure whether the Ope Ope no Mi's infinite life was real or fake.
As Akira headed in that direction, he discovered that there were two destroyed warships. Moreover, there were traces of battle around. However, Akira didn't pay attention. Instead, he continued to head in that direction.
Soon, Akira entered that small island. However, he discovered that there was actually a birdcage made of strings above the town on the island, enveloping the entire town.
Not only that, but he also discovered that there were also many Navy soldiers around the birdcage. When Akira landed, these Navy soldiers immediately discovered him, and shouted loudly, "Who are you?"
Akira glanced at these Navy soldiers, and said coldly, "Get out of the way. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
After speaking, Conqueror's Haki burst out from his body. These people were just soldiers from the North Blue. How could they stop Akira's Conqueror's Haki? So these Navy soldiers were quickly knocked unconscious by his Haki.
Walking to the front of the birdcage, Akira looked at these substantial strings. His right hand turned pitch-black. Armament Haki covered his right hand. He slammed it hard against these strings.
"Clang!"
Akira's attack hit the birdcage. It just shook a few times, and made a sound like gold and iron colliding. However, it wasn't destroyed.
