"Queen Linlin, this is the blueprint for the academy's construction." El handed a drawing to Linlin.
Linlin glanced at it and saw that the blueprint had everything planned out for a school, from a library and training rooms to laboratories for cultivating scientific talent.
It had everything.
"It looks good." Linlin nodded, acknowledging El's work.
"I've been trying to purchase books of all kinds of knowledge from the outside, but even so, we've acquired very few. A library built like this wouldn't be very useful." El looked at Linlin, hoping she could offer a solution.
"Hmm!" Linlin thought for a moment. It was indeed a problem. Milim had already brought back the training method for quickly mastering Armament Haki and the Empress, so there was no need to worry about training combat personnel.
But Totto Land also needed all sorts of other talents, whether in navigation or astronomy. These people would be a great help to technology and development.
Therefore, Totto Land needed to collect a massive number of books to expand its knowledge base.
Linlin lowered her head in thought for a few seconds. "El, go find a way to contact the scholars of Ohara. See if we can get a copy of their books."
El's eyes lit up. That's right, when it came to knowledge, no place had more than the Tree of Knowledge in Ohara.
"Understood. I'll go find a way to contact Ohara right away." With that, El turned and left.
...
After three days of sailing, Milim felt like she had become completely useless.
Every morning when she woke up, Gloriosa would help her brush her teeth and wash her face. Breakfast was always perfectly prepared, and she didn't even have to walk to the table; Gloriosa would carry her directly to her seat.
Gloriosa had even figured out what foods Milim liked during this time, always feeding her by hand with a smile in her eyes.
In just three days, Milim had been completely spoiled. She could no longer leave Gloriosa's side.
And so, Linlin, who was waiting for Milim on the shore, witnessed a strange scene.
Milim was currently lying on Gloriosa's back, her cheek resting on Gloriosa's shoulder with an expression of utter comfort and laziness, as if she had become completely debilitated.
Linlin was stunned for a moment but quickly recovered. "You must be Gloriosa!"
"That's right! Long time no see, Linlin." Milim, with her eyes half-closed on Gloriosa's back, waved her small hand in greeting.
"Hello, Charlotte Linlin!" Gloriosa also greeted Linlin with a smile. After all, this was Milim's younger sister.
If she's Milim's sister, then she's my sister too.
"Hello!" Linlin replied, then looked at Milim, not quite sure what to say. Wasn't this too much trouble for Gloriosa?
Gloriosa seemed to know what Linlin was thinking and answered proactively, "I'm the one who wants to take care of Milim. It's completely voluntary!"
"Even so, this is too much. It feels like Milim has become completely decadent," Linlin could only retort.
"Hehe!" Milim rubbed her face against Gloriosa's fair and smooth cheek, a happy smile on her lips. "I can't help it. Gloriosa is just too good at taking care of people. It's impossible to resist."
"Sigh!" Linlin slapped her forehead. "It seems I was being nosy."
"Don't say that. You were just looking out for Milim."
"Perfect!" Linlin walked over to Milim and pinched her cheek. "She's never had anyone to look after her. From now on, your job in Totto Land will be to stay with Milim!"
"How about it? Does that suit you?" Linlin already knew from the Den Den Mushi that Gloriosa had followed because she adored Milim.
In that case, it was better to let Gloriosa stay by Milim's side. Besides, someone was needed to help keep an eye on Milim.
Although, Linlin had a feeling that not only would Gloriosa fail to restrain Milim, she might even indulge her more than Linlin herself did.
"Thank you so much, Queen Linlin." Gloriosa's face was full of happiness, and even her way of addressing Linlin had changed.
Linlin's mouth twitched. She looked at Milim, who was enjoying herself with her eyes half-closed, and thought to herself, What a sinfully charming woman!
But I'll never give up my hug pillow time.
Ever since Milim returned to Totto Land, the entire country became lively again. The people of Totto Land could always see Milim running around in the streets and alleys.
But what was different this time was a woman of stunning beauty by her side. Some people recognized this woman as Gloriosa, the former captain of the Kuja Pirates!
Although they were a bit surprised, everyone quickly accepted it. As long as it was someone Milim brought back, they would trust them unconditionally.
Today, Milim and Gloriosa arrived at the site of the school under construction. Since the work had just begun, the large plot of land was mostly empty.
The workers were laying the foundation. Since Milim had nothing to do today and was bored, she decided to help build the school.
Then, an astonishing scene unfolded. One after another, thick wooden logs flew in from a distance like arrows, and were caught with incredible stability by Gloriosa.
She then placed them on the ground. A job that would have taken the workers five or six days was completed by Milim and Gloriosa in just one hour.
...
Meanwhile, in a room in the Holy Land, Mary Geoise.
The Five Elders were gathered, discussing matters concerning Totto Land.
"All our agents disappear the moment they enter Totto Land. We can't get any detailed information," Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said calmly.
"But they went to Karakuri Island and took scientist Vegapunk," Saint Shepherd Ju Peter said. "Then they went to Amazon Lily and took the former empress, Gloriosa. Moreover, Totto Land and Amazon Lily have formed an alliance. Totto Land's power is growing stronger and stronger."
