A few days later.

In a hidden cave somewhere on the back mountain of Jiushe Island.

"I didn't expect there was a historical stone tablet."

Rhodes stood inside the cave, which should have been an extremely dark place, but Rhodes distorted the light from the entrance to the cave, making the entire cave as bright as daytime.

When he brought Robin to find the historical text stele. Rhodes originally just said that because in his memory, there was no historical text stele or something like that, but after searching the Jiushe Island carefully, he didn't expect that it was really there.

"Is the history of Jiushe Island..."

Robin came to the stone tablet of history and looked over carefully word by word.

This is an ordinary historical stone tablet, which records the history of Jiushe Island, not the intelligence historical text, nor the historical text of the road sign.

but.

Even Robin has carefully studied this in an ordinary historical text stele.

In the past few days, in addition to finding the historical text stele, Han Cook finally chose to lead Jiushe Island to join the flag of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms.

It is said that it is a surrender, but it is actually just a flag of the Ghost Hand Pirates.

Just like the Fishman Island today, the Kingdom of Dresrosa, these two countries are under the banner of the Ghost Hand Pirates and are ranked under the flag of the Immortal Kingdom.

Rhodes initially wondered whether to bring Hancock to the whole country, but after thinking about it, he put it on Jiushe Island so as not to cause a lot of trouble and difficult to deal with.

...

Half a month later.

The Pirate Empress, one of the Seven Warriors Seas, openly terminated the Seven Warriors Sea contract with the World Government and joined the Ghost Hand Pirates.

The news came out and the world shook!

No one expected that the arrogant empress would be conquered.

However, the ghost hand Rhodes, who stands in the world's strongest position, does have this qualification.

Countless people who had inappropriate thoughts about the empress couldn't help but sigh after learning the news and quickly gave up their unrealistic ideas.

...

So far, four kings, Seven Warriors, have had an accident under Rhodes. In addition to Clockdal, Moonlight Molia, and Doflamingo, the Pirate Empress has also had an accident.

What made the world government even more furious was that the empress was not destroyed by Rhodes, but gave up her status as the Seven Warlords Sea and devoted herself to the Ghost Hand!

"It's so hateful!"

Within the power of the world government, a five-old star couldn't help but scold him.

The five old stars next to her flickered eyes and said, "Pirates are unreliable. When they give her the status of the Seven Warlords Sea, they should consider the current situation in advance."

"How about destroying Nine Snake Island?"

The five old stars next to them were flickering in their eyes and suggested.

It would be fine if it was destroyed by Rhodes. Such a blatant betrayal would undoubtedly be a great blow to the majesty of the world government.

If such things happen too much, many people will think that the world government is terrifying without the Ghost Hand Pirates, and the Ghost Hand Pirates is even more terrifying than the World Government.

This idea is extremely dangerous.

and.

When the Pirate Empress joined the Seven Warlords Sea, Baigapunk had not yet developed a warship that could cross the windless belt with a turbo power plus a sea tower stone base.

It is precisely because I was extremely helpless about the Nine Snake Island, which was hiding in the windless belt, that I decided to make the other party a seven-war world sea, which is a very important factor.

Now, with the warships studied by Baikal Punk that can easily pass through the windless belt, there is no big danger even if they enter the windless belt, and the natural barrier of Jiushe Island no longer exists.

"no."

"That guy from Ghost Hand is not a foolish beast. Since he has included the Pirate Empress under his command, he must have considered that we will turn against each other."

The Five Old Stars with Swords stood there, a hint of coldness flashed in their eyes.

A person next to him took the speech and said, "Yes, maybe the Ghost Hands' people are on Jiushe Island now. If they rashly send troops to attack, they will suffer a lot of losses."

After discussion, there was no conclusion in the end.

This matter was put on hold by the world government.

...

After Nine Snake Island was listed as one of the vassal states under the leadership of the nation, Rhodes stayed on Nine Snake Island for another week, and had in-depth exchanges with Empress Han Cook on the future development direction and plan of Nine Snake Island, and comprehensively explained the tone of sustainable development.

Rhodes highly praised Hancock's milk... for his contribution to Nine Snake Island and determined that Nine Snake Island has independence and autonomy. Planning and management are still decided by the Empress alone. In addition, when all countries are threatened, Nine Snake Island needs to send troops to help.

One week later.

Rhodes left Nine Snake Island by boat, and Hancook went to the dock to see him farewell. He carried a little red cloud on his cheeks, revealing all kinds of charm under the sea breeze.

...

On the rugged sea, a sailboat was sailing slowly.

Robin, holding a newspaper he had just bought from the Newsbird, came to Rhodes, who was sitting on the deck and said:

"The government seems to be really angry with the bounty of 500 million Bailey."

The newspaper published the news that the Empress unilaterally gave up the title of the Seven Warriors and became one of the vassal states of the nations. The World Government added a reward of 500 million Baileys to the Empress!

The empress's strength is not weak either. The reward of 500 million Bailey is not low, and it is not very high.

"It's good to get angry."

Rhodes took the newspaper and looked at it, and smiled and said, "It would be better to piss those five old people to death, and the world government will be in chaos, and the guy behind the scenes should jump out directly."

Robin hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you a little reckless when you asked the Empress to publicly announce the abandonment of the Treaty of the Seven Warlords and Seas to invest in all countries? Now the other four emperors are very vigilant about us, so are the world government and navy."

The Ghost Hand Pirates are already huge.

After defeating the Whitebeard Pirates, he was already the leader of the Four Emperors.

It is precisely because the Ghost Hand Pirates are too powerful that after receiving the public franchise of Derma 66 and the Pirate Empress, both the Navy, the World Government, or the other four emperors have maintained great vigilance against the Ghost Hand Pirates.

Just imagine.

It is normal for the four pirate groups with small strength to maintain distance and balance between each other, but if one of the pirate groups becomes increasingly powerful and gradually widens a big gap with other pirate groups, then the balance will gradually be broken.

"With the intelligence capabilities of the world government, sooner or later, we will know about the empress."

Rhodes said calmly: "Instead of letting the world government voluntarily announce the removal of Han Cook's position in the Seven Warriors Sea and send troops to encircle and suppress Jiushe Island, it is better to let Han Cook give up on his own initiative."

"The nations are not afraid of being wary of them now, because neither the white beard nor the red-haired ones will take the initiative to attack, and the same is true for the navy and the government."

"Building such big news will make it easier to attract strong people who are willing to surrender around the world and form a virtuous cycle."

Robin thought about it after hearing Rhodes' explanation.

After packing the table, Robin chuckled with a slight teasing look, "Hancook... When did you start calling the Empress by her name?"

Rhodes's face remained unchanged and said, "A more intimate name will help narrow the distance between Wanguo and Jiushe Island and form a harmonious and mutual assistance."

Robin smiled and wanted to say something, but Rhodes suddenly reached out and pulled him.

Caught off guard, she suddenly became unstable and fell into Rhodes' arms.

"I don't matter who I call my name directly. Now you are the only one who can call me directly." Rhodes said slowly at Robin.

Robin didn't struggle, just looked at Rhodes with a smile, his starry eyes bright, and his long soft black hair gently whirled with the sea breeze.
