One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 77

They were initially unconvinced when Kaido was called the Pirate King. Why should the Pirate King be the one who lands on the final island?

But when the newspaper came out, it was different. With this kind of strength, he should be called the Pirate King!

The Beasts Pirates' reputation grew even stronger, and those smaller pirate crews that had already considered joining them were now even more determined to do so.

Other pirate crews also began to reassess the strength of the Beasts Pirates.

This actually includes Garp's old rival, Hairy-nosed Man, Roger Wong.

Roger held the newspaper, reading it over and over again, still finding it hard to believe.

He has never fought against the Beasts Pirates.

After all, when Kaido was in the Rocks Pirates, he was just an apprentice and not yet worthy of Kaido's attention.

Lei Luo was a complete stranger to him.

But he knew the strength of Sengoku and Garp!

He was also familiar with the strength of the Beasts Pirates' opponents, such as Shiki, Whitebeard, and Big Mom.

Even if Kaido is on par with Whitebeard, and Rael is on par with Big Mom, there's no reason for Sengoku and Garp to be defeated!

Nine-Eyed Snake Island, the Land of Women.

After Empress Toritoma returned, she suddenly collapsed to the ground without any warning.

The crew quickly took the empress to the palace and then summoned all the doctors in the country, but to no avail; they could not find the cause.

Left with no other choice, they had to seek out Gloria, the former empress who had returned to Amazon Lily after the Rocks Pirates disbanded.

In the Empress's palace,

Gloriosa frowned as he looked at Toritoma, whose face was flushed and who was having difficulty breathing.

"These symptoms...no way?!"

Toritoma clutched her forehead, panting heavily. "I feel so awful. Am I going to die?"

"It's alright," Gloriaosa gently reassured Toritoma.

He then said to the soldiers protecting the country, "Come out here for a moment."

After saying that, Gloriosa turned and walked towards the door.

Outside the door, Gloria asked carefully what unusual things had happened on this voyage and whether she had met any memorable men.

During their voyage, they encountered many things, but if they had to pick a man who left the deepest impression, it would undoubtedly be Lei Luo.

The warrior truthfully reported to Gloriosa about encountering the Garp warship and Raylo's sudden appearance from the sky.

Gloriosa had a sudden thought, and when she thought about Toritoma's symptoms earlier, it seemed to make perfect sense.

The warrior cautiously asked, "Lady Gloriosa, what illness does the Empress have? Can you..."

Gloriosa did not tell the warriors what she was thinking, but simply smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen."

The warriors still trusted the former empress quite a bit, and nodded heavily: "Well, then we'll leave it to you."

Gloriosa waved her hand: "You all step back first, I'll take care of things here."

"Yes, sir," the soldiers replied respectfully, then turned and left.

Gloriosa suddenly stopped them and instructed, "Go and get a wanted poster for the vice-captain of the Beasts Pirates. Also, if you have any newspapers about the Beasts Pirates, especially the vice-captain, send them here immediately."

The warriors responded and turned to leave, while Gloriosa went to Toritoma's bedside.

Although she already had a premonition, Gloriosa decided to confirm it again and whispered, "The vice-captain of the Beasts Pirates..."

With a soft moan, Toritoma arched her body in pain, clutching her chest.

Okay, no need to test anymore, the diagnosis is confirmed.

Toritoma is also lovesick!

Love strikes like a sudden storm, just like falling in love with Roger at first sight.

However, Toritoma's storm was far more intense than hers.

Put yourself in his shoes: at a critical moment of life and death, a man descends from the sky and, to save you from dire straits, resolutely goes to war with a naval hero.

He even stayed behind to cover the retreat so that the Kuja Pirates could escape first, facing the Marines alone!

Gloriosa had seen the bounty poster for Raylo; he was quite handsome.

Considering all these factors, Gloriosa felt it was not surprising at all that Toritoma was lovesick; it would have been strange if she hadn't.

Tori Tomma's eyelashes trembled slightly as she asked in anguish, "What's wrong with me...?"

Gloria sighed. How come every empress seems to be afflicted with this disease?

Chapter 115 Then I'll Wait for You

“Child, you’re lovesick,” Gloria explained helplessly.

Toritoma was stunned.

The image of Lei Luo smiling and waving at him from the sky naturally came to mind.

Toritoma's pretty face turned even redder and she felt even more uncomfortable. Her breathing became more rapid, and she let out soft moans.

Gloria frowned with worry.

Why do these symptoms look so much more severe than they were before?!

At this moment, the warriors of Kuja rushed over with Lei Luo's bounty poster.

Gloriosa took it and placed it in front of Toritoma, asking, "You like him, don't you?"

Toritoma gazed at Leilo's handsome face with infatuation in her eyes.

Gloriosa felt she had asked a pointless question, but she breathed a sigh of relief; indeed, quenching thirst with a mirage was effective.

But this is only a temporary solution.

Gloriosa had also suffered from lovesickness, so she naturally knew that quenching thirst by looking at plums ultimately required obtaining water; one couldn't just "look" at them, otherwise it would be like drinking poison to quench thirst.

The trouble should end it!

But whether the one who tied the bell is willing to untie it, Gloriosa paused for a moment and asked:

"Tori Tomma, I heard from them that the Beasts' first mate said he would come looking for you?"

Tori Tomma nodded shyly.

Gloria sighed, "Then you're sure he's not lying to you."

Tori Tomah retorted, dissatisfied, "No way, he would never lie to me!"

"I hope so." Gloriosa had already made up her mind and took out a Den Den Mushi.

Tori Tomah asked in confusion, "What is this...?"

Gloriosa explained, "Contact the captain of the Beasts Pirates and ask him for Raylo's contact information. Tell Raylo to come find you as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Tori Toma's eyes lit up. Her large, bright eyes sparkled as she asked expectantly:

"Really? You know their captain?"

"Oh, I forgot, you were once on the Rocks Pirates."

"Then ask quickly."

Before Gloriosa could even make the call, Toritoma suddenly asked worriedly:

"But, won't this bother him? He's the Pirate King's right-hand man; he must have a lot to do."

"Actually, I didn't really want to see him right away."

Gloria retorted mercilessly, "You look like you can't wait to see him."

Tori Toma felt a little embarrassed by what was said and could only shyly turn her face away.

Oh, young girl in love!

Gloriosa chuckled and shook her head, then dialed Kaido's number:

"Moshimoshi, Kaido, it's me, Gloriosa..."

Kaido was quite surprised to receive the call: "Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

Gloriosa explained the whole story and then asked Kaido for Leeroy's phone number.

Kaido did not refuse.

My own first mate is just too outstanding; he even managed to win over the world's most beautiful woman.

Inside the Kuja Palace, Toritoma listened intently the entire time Gloriosa was on the phone.

When Gloriosa successfully obtained Reilly's phone number, Toritoma's face lit up with a sweet smile.

Gloriosa handed her the Den Den Mushi and teased, "Go ahead and call him, see your sweetheart."

Tori Tomma took the Den Den Mushi with both hands, her hands trembling slightly with nervousness. She took a deep breath and dialed the number.

Lei Luo's clear voice came quickly from the other end of the phone: "Hello."

Tori Tomma's heart suddenly raced, her face turned as red as a ripe apple, and she was so nervous that she couldn't speak for a moment.

Gloriosa gently nudged her from the side. Toritoma mustered her courage and whispered, "Rello, it's me, Toritoma."

On the other end of the phone, Lei Luo chuckled, "Hello, beautiful Miss Tori Tomma."

As the Queen of Kuja, Tori Tomoma has heard countless praises and is already immune to them.

But her beloved's simple praise made her feel as if she had been electrocuted, and her whole body went weak.

She stammered, "You...you said you would come to find me, you...you will come?"

Lei Luo laughed heartily: "Of course, how could I forget my promise to Miss Mei? I will head to Amazon Lily as soon as I finish what I have to do."

Upon hearing this answer, Tori Tomoma's eyes sparkled with surprise and anticipation, and her previously tense mood relaxed considerably.

Gloriosa dodged the Den Den Mushi: "Rylo, right? If there's nothing else, you should come to Amazon Lily as soon as possible."

Rello frowned, and the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) mimicked his expression in real time; "What happened?"

Gloriosa assumed Reilly didn't know, so she explained, "Toritoma is lovesick, this kind of illness..."

"So if you also like Toritoma, I hope you can come to Kuja as soon as possible."

Lei Luo immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll head over right now."

Knowing that Tori Tomoma was still in front of the Den Den Mushi, Lero smiled gently and said, "Wait for me, Miss Tori Tomoma."

Tori Tomma nodded shyly and said, "Okay, then... I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Tori Tomma was still immersed in joy, cupping her face in her hands, smiling radiantly with her eyes crinkling.

The sky is most beautiful when it is just before it gets dark; love is most enchanting when it is just before it begins; and the moment when you are infinitely close to happiness is the happiest.

It was as if Tori Tomma knew that Lero was coming to see her, so from that moment on, she began to look forward to it, and she couldn't stop smiling.

Looking at her like this, Gloriosa shook his head with a smile: "It seems there's a cure for this lovesickness."

At the same time, I felt a bit bitter inside.

That brat is so lucky; the person she likes likes her too.

Unlike myself, I love but cannot have the one I desire.

Lei Luo hung up the phone and turned to fly towards Amazon Lily.

I originally planned to go to Amazon Lily after getting the Devil Fruit, but now I can't.

The original work has already confirmed that Tori Tomma really will die from lovesickness.

Tori Tomma was overjoyed at the thought of Lero's imminent arrival and looked forward to seeing him again. Her previously unpleasant symptoms were also relieved.

On this day, a warrior ran quickly to Toritoma and said, "Lady Toritoma."

Toritoma stood up excitedly and asked, "Is it Raylo?"

The warrior shook his head and reported, "Lady Toritoma, the snakes on the island have suddenly gone berserk for some unknown reason."

"I understand. Let's go see what's going on." Toritoma got up to go check.
