Chapter 206 Goodbye Aunt Lingling! Lola’s decision!
Boom! !
The wind rushed up to the sky.
The violent shock wave made the entire Beehive Island tremble.
”Hee hee hee hee!”
On the wide field, Solem was laughing wildly.
He was wearing golden armor, and the armor on his arms was particularly heavy.
He swung a heavy hammer covered with a layer of gold and smashed it towards the opponent in front of him.
With a loud bang! Dongli raised his round shield and forcibly withstood the blow.
But even so, he was hit by Solem’s hammer and staggered back, almost flying out.
“Isn’t your ability to control gold?”
Broki rushed over to the side, and the huge battle axe chopped down on Solem’s head, “Why is your strength so much stronger?”
“Because my ability is to control gold!”
Solem laughed.
The golden armor on his body instantly turned into a snake and entangled with Broki’s body in an instant. The huge axe stopped in the air and couldn’t fall down at all.
Then Solem turned around and kicked Broki in the stomach, kicking the senior out directly, and fell heavily like a meteorite in the distance.
Solem’s own strength is terrible enough, and the golden armor on his body also greatly increases his strength when he attacks.
So the final result is that he has shown enough strength to suppress Dongli and Broki.
Dongli and Broki were not convinced in the previous battle.
After all, Solem took advantage of their unpreparedness to infiltrate gold powder into their bodies, and then directly turned them into golden statues.
This fighting style does not conform to the fighting aesthetics of the giants at all.
So there was this second battle.
But now, Solem still has the upper hand.
”So awesome!”
Of course, there were many pirates and even civilians watching the giant battle that seemed to happen in mythology nearby.
Zoro clenched his fists, blushing and excited.
”Indeed,”
Beside him, Sanji also watched intently, “We are still a long way off.”
Even with his own exoskeleton, even if he put on combat uniforms, he couldn’t withstand the blows of these giants.
After thinking for a while, he added, “Of course, you are far worse than me, Green Algae Head.”
”Do you want to be chopped?”
Zoro instantly exploded.
”Stop arguing, you two!”
Until Kuina growled impatiently, the two of them completely shut up.
In addition to them, other little ghosts were also here.
Uta, Ace, Runti, Peggy Wan, all looked at it with shining eyes.
Even Uta looked at it very seriously, such a battle between strong men is rare.
In the Skull Building.
Tezulo looked at Ian in surprise, “Lord Ian, are you serious?”
“What?”
Ian lay on his office chair, his hands behind his head, and said with a smile, “Is my plan interesting enough?”
Tezulo hesitated for a long time and finally spoke, “Lord Ian, after all, we are pirates. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate for pirates to open entertainment companies?”
It is not a good idea to engage in cultural industries in this chaotic world.
And now you even have to do it as a pirate.
Lord Ian, aren’t you messing around? Where is the market?
The most stable, vast, and most consumer-powerful member country market in the world is simply inaccessible.
Even if the influence of the Pirate Emperor is huge, even if the two sides already have private transactions, it is impossible for the World Government to open the market to pirates in public, right? Do you still want to save your face?
Even Tezulo couldn’t help but think that Lord Ian was a little too whimsical at this time? ”Calm down, Tezulo,”
Ian just said calmly, “Even if we give up the market of the member countries, there are still half of the non-member countries waiting for us to develop.”
Tezulo’s mouth twitched.
My Lord Ian, how much oil can be squeezed from the non-member countries?
And how many can there be in this world?Less stable non-member countries? At least three of the ten non-member countries are in civil war, and two are plagued by pirate attacks.
Among the remaining five, about three are in a state of collapse and cannot be rebuilt after suffering from war and pirate attacks.
Finally, there are only two slightly normal countries left, but they are definitely not rich.
To develop the entertainment industry with such countries as the target market, isn’t it just a loss? ”Don’t worry about profits,”
Ian said, “You should have known Uta’s ability, now I tell you.”
”Even if you hear her voice through the broadcast of Den Den Mushi, you will also be captured by her ability.”
Tezoro’s eyes suddenly widened, and his throat seemed to be blocked. After extremely hard, he finally squeezed out a voice, ”Actually, like this??”
The broadcast of Den Den Mushi can become the carrier of that girl’s ability? ? There is such a terrible devil fruit ability in the world! ! Tezulo couldn’t believe it! ”I understand!”
He immediately calmed down and nodded in agreement, “In this case, it is indeed necessary to make Miss Uta a world-famous superstar!”
It doesn’t matter whether it is profitable or not.
As long as there are many people watching on time when Uta’s concert is live, it is enough! ”But if we only support Uta, it will be too conspicuous.”
Ian said with interest, “Let’s find some good seedlings, even,”
He looked at Tezulo, “Do you want to give it a try?”
Tezulo also has the dream of becoming a singer.
If I remember correctly, he ran away from home because his mother hated his singing.
Tezulo was slightly startled, and then suddenly smiled, “Since you said so, I’ll give it a try too!”
Who has a musical dream? Although he said he wanted to help Uta become a world superstar, who said there can only be one superstar?
”Very good, then I’ll leave this to you.”
Ian was getting more and more satisfied with Tezulo.
It was a genius decision to recruit him.
How much effort did this save him?
Blu blu blu.
The Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.
Ian took out his phone and reconnected it.
”Mom, mom! Ian! Are you ready to welcome me?”
It came quite quickly.
Ian looked at Tezulo.
Tezulo nodded slightly, indicating that the preparations were complete.
Soon after, a huge ship gradually approached the Beehive Island.
There was a huge smiling face on the front bow of the ship, laughing and humming at this time.
“Mom, mom! Pirate Island Hive! I haven’t been back for many years!”
Charlotte Linling stood on the bow of the big ship and looked at the island that was getting closer and closer in the distance. Especially when she saw the high-rise building that looked like a skeleton, a trace of nostalgia appeared in her eyes.
”My youth was spent on this island! Mom, mom!”
She turned around, “Hey, Katakuri, do you still remember this place?”
Katakuri nodded gently, and his muffled voice came from under the scarf covering the lower half of his face, “I lived here until I was ten years old.”
How could she forget that Brulee’s face was scratched by a group of pirates on this island back then.
When he was ten years old, the Rocks Pirates collapsed.
After that, the big cadres went their separate ways, and this island was occupied by Wang Zhi, and he never came back again.
“But now is not the time to reminisce about the past!”
Aunt Lingling looked at someone on the deck affectionately, “Lola, you will definitely not let me down, right?”
Lola’s body trembled slightly, and she nodded hurriedly, “Yes, yes, mom!”
“Great! Mom, mom!”
The triumphant laughter instantly echoed on the deck, “I will get the power of Elbaf soon!”
“At that time, Whitebeard, Kaido, and Ian, all go to hell with me!!”
Katakuri really wanted to remind his crazy mother that Ian had a very close relationship with the giants.
It’s okay to have a whole army of giants, but now even the blind date has been put on the Beehive Island.
However,Katakuri dared not say anything, of course.
On Beehive Island.
The square outside the Skull Building is the main venue for today’s blind date.
The layout has been completed here.
The entire venue is isolated with a white curtain to prevent ordinary residents on the island from snooping.
The venue is decorated in a festive style, with flowers everywhere.
Although the original intention was to ruin this blind date, the venue should be as bad as it can be.
But Prince Loki calls Ian his brother.
Ian feels that no matter what, he should not let his good brother lose face, right?
The seats in the venue for entertaining the Charlotte family who came from afar have been set up.
The larger row of seats opposite is occupied by the Giant Pirates and Prince Loki.
“Hasn’t it arrived yet?”
Loki, who was sitting in the main seat, seemed quite anxious, and his eyes kept looking outside the venue.
”Can’t we really go to the port to greet them?”
You licked them all.
”Don’t worry.” Sitting at a table next to him, which was quite close to both parties, Ian said leisurely, “You have to remember one thing, Loki.”
”It was Aunt Lingling who begged for a marriage with you, and we are the ones being flattered.”
”But isn’t this too rude?”
Loki, a 20-meter-tall rough man, scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, “I also said to leave a good impression on Lola.”
Ian couldn’t help but sigh.
Sure enough, there is no need to worry at all. With your cowardly appearance, how could Lola, who yearns for freedom, look down on you?
Almost at the same time, between the office rights of Mary Joa and the Five Elders.
“Ian and BIG·MOM are about to start contact.”
”I can’t believe that Charlotte Linling is actually going to marry the Giant Kingdom.”
”This is not good news. If Charlotte Linling, Ian, and Elbaf unite, who in the New World can stop them?”
”How is that possible? Ian will never allow Charlotte Linling to get involved in the Giant Kingdom. He will stop her.”
”Wait for Stussy’s news.”
At the port, the Queen Mother Anthem is approaching.
The arrival of this ship naturally caused a huge sensation.
Both pirates and civilians were shocked.
This is the flagship of Charlotte Linling, one of the Four Emperors!
Are the two pirate emperors going to meet today?
The big ship docked at the port, and the huge staircase was lowered.
Under everyone’s attention on the dock, Charlotte Linlin, wearing a pink dress and holding a small umbrella, walked down from the deck.
The entire dock fell into silence at this moment.
That’s Charlotte Linlin?
Sasaki, who was responsible for maintaining order at the port with his subordinates, widened his eyes.
Just looking at this woman, I felt a terrible momentum! This is the pirate emperor who stood shoulder to shoulder with Lord Ian! Sure enough, she is as strong as a monster! Just seeing her with my eyes, every corner of my body was shouting that this was an enemy that was absolutely impossible to defeat.
“Mom, mom! Where’s Ian?”
Aunt Lingling scanned the port but didn’t see the person she wanted to see. She asked, “Didn’t the boy say he was here to welcome me?”
“Lord Ian is already waiting for you at the venue. Big Mom, Prince Loki and the Giant Pirates are also here,”
Tesoro, who was waiting at the port, stepped forward at the right time and bowed slightly. “Please follow me.”
Aunt Lingling looked down at Tesoro. To be honest, her face didn’t look very good.
It’s okay that Ian didn’t come to pick her up. After all, he is no longer the same as before.
But not even a famous cadre was sent here. Isn’t that too contemptuous?
If Ian knew what Aunt Lingling was thinking, he would probably call it wronged.
Tesoro is now the chief steward of Beehive Island and a close minister of the emperor. He is not just a nobody.
Sending him here is much more reliable than sending Yamato and Hancock.
However, even though she was dissatisfied, Aunt Lingling did not show it.
After all, the most important thing for her now is to let Prince Loki see her beloved daughter.
Thinking of this, the bright smile hasOnce bloomed on Aunt Lingling’s face, “Then lead the way.”
She said.
”Please follow me.”
Tezoro turned around gracefully.
It’s a pity that there is no means of transportation on the Beehive Island, so even Aunt Lingling, who is of noble status, can only walk step by step.
Fortunately, the island is not very big. Not long after, Tezoro had brought Charlotte’s family to the venue.
Ian stood up, and a warm smile naturally appeared on his face, “Welcome, Aunt Lingling.”
”Long time no see! Aunt Lingling!”
Yamato, who was sitting next to Ian, also waved with a smile.
”Mom, mom!”
Aunt Lingling’s face was also kind and gentle, “Ian, and Yamato, you have grown up a lot after not seeing you for so long.”
”Not bad.”
Ian chuckled.
Compared to last year, he has indeed grown a lot taller, and his body is further developing towards maturity.
”Is this Prince Loki?”
Aunt Lingling just exchanged a few words with Ian, and even didn’t bother to look at the cadres gathered around Ian, her eyes were already impatiently falling on Loki.
”Where is Lola?”
Prince Loki’s eyes were even more impatient than Aunt Lingling’s.
He stood up directly and looked behind Aunt Lingling.
Ian couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
At this time, he really wanted to teach Loki that a man’s charm comes from strength.
Strong strength, power, wealth, and spiritual strength.
But strength and weakness are contradictory.
You are very weak now.
However, it can only be said that this is the best.
“Mom, mom! Are you so anxious?”
Aunt Lingling was so happy that her face was about to break. Her old face was as big as a chrysanthemum.
She quickly shouted behind her, “Lola! Come and see your future husband!”
Is this the future husband?
Aunt Lingling, don’t be too anxious.
Lola, dressed in a gorgeous dress, walked out quickly from behind Aunt Lingling.
Ian instantly became expressionless.
But Prince Loki’s eyes were almost full of hearts, his face turned red, and he almost subconsciously wanted to walk towards Lola.
Ian quickly gave a look.
Donli and Broki grabbed Loki’s shoulders from the left and right, and forced him back to his seat.
While Prince Loki was looking at Lola, Lola was also looking at him.
It was visible to the naked eye that this fourteen-year-old girl had a disappointed expression on her face.
The aesthetics are not right.
”Miss Lola!!”
Even though Prince Loki was suppressed by the two giants, his face was full of radiance, “Please marry me, I will definitely make you happy!”
Didn’t you say you were here for a blind date? Why did you propose directly? Ian looked at Lola.
Aunt Lingling even lowered her body and gently stroked Lola’s head.
The tone was full of surprise and haste, “Lola, what are you still hesitating about? My child, my most beloved daughter! Say yes!”
”Say yes!!!”
Her saliva kept flowing from the corners of her mouth, corroding the floor below with deep marks.
Lola’s body trembled.
She stared at Loki blankly.
Ian smiled, this won’t do, Aunt Lingling.
In modern society, free love is the main focus, how can there be arranged marriages? Shh! Ian turned into a phantom.
”Ugh!!”
Aunt Lingling groaned.
Ian grabbed her hand and pulled it away from Lola’s head.
”Ian!!”
Aunt Lingling barely maintained a smile, but her voice sounded extremely fierce, “What are you doing?”
”Loki, you should also want to hear Lola’s sincere answer.”
Ian turned back.
”Of course!”
Prince Loki nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice, “I want Lola to marry me sincerely!”
”Then,”
Ian looked at Lola, whose body was still shaking, “Lola, speak your mind boldly.”
”With me here, no one can hurt you.”
Miss Lola trembled, turned back subconsciously, and looked at Ian in shock.
Ian said with a smile, “Not even Aunt Lingling!”
”Ian, what are you talking about?”Aunt Lingling exerted her strength to break free from Ian’s hand. Her smile was very forced. “Of course Lola really wants to marry Prince Loki.”
She looked at her daughter, “Right, my daughter?”
Lola’s body trembled again.
Then she looked at Ian and saw his encouraging eyes.
So.
”I refuse! Mom!”
Lola said loudly, “I don’t want to marry Prince Loki!”
She said it.
Ian’s mouth corners raised high.
Great.
