"My lord husband!"
Hancock stared at Loya with adoration, her eyes glazed over as she called out in a sweet, dreamy voice.
……
Soon, beautiful celestial music filled the air once again.
……
Night was just beginning to fall.
The entire Kingdom of Women was illuminated by lanterns.
A water and land transport turtle slowly emerged from the Empress's palace.
Moon was in the driver's seat, with Hancock's two sisters on either side, accompanied by a guard.
However, the two younger sisters, upon learning the truth, were both blushing deeply and unable to shake off the embarrassment.
On the carriage, Hancock nestled sweetly and contentedly against Loya.
Hancock clung to Loya, kissing his face all over, completely oblivious to everyone else.
She wished she could embed herself entirely in Loya, so they could never be apart.
Hancock, having tasted the sweetness of the forbidden fruit for the first time, felt that she had wasted the previous decades of her life.
"Alright, Hancock, there are people around anyway~ Let's continue after the dinner~"
Loya was almost unable to resist her teasing.
But considering the impact on the public, he held back.
"I'm afraid you'll leave Nine Serpents again soon, and it will be another month away."
"My husband, do you know how much I've missed you these past month?"
"If it weren't for the golden Den Den Mushi you left behind, allowing me to exchange a few words with you every day, I'm afraid I would have long since fallen ill from longing and been confined to my bed."
Hancock immediately burst into tears.
Is she really made of water? She cries at the drop of a hat!
Loya could only hold Hancock tightly, whispering sweet nothings and patiently comforting her over and over again.
'Hancock is different from Gion, after all~'
Even when Gion falls in love, she still manages to maintain a sense of rationality and independence.
'But Hancock... right now she's like a child, completely consumed by love, and can't handle anything.'
But it was precisely because of this that Loya grew to like and cherish her even more.
Upon arriving at the main building of the King's Palace, the King's Hall, Hancock remained clinging to Loa and refused to come down.
····Requesting flowers············
Helpless, Loya had no choice but to carry her (in a princess carry) all the way to the private banquet hall on the top floor.
Tonight's banquet is essentially Loya's family dinner.
This exquisite and elegant little banquet hall is not large and has few people, but the layout is quite warm and inviting.
Nico Robin, Jewelry Bonney, Xia Xiaoqi, Kalifa, Gion, Charlia, and... Perona.
They sat around a round table.
"Brother is here!"
Charlia cheered when she saw Loya arrive at the banquet late.
"Brother, sit here~"
0 ........
Charlize patted the cushion on her right.
As soon as Loya saw the arrangement of the cushions, he knew that Charlia had another scheme up her sleeve.
The two empty seat cushions.
They're positioned opposite each other at this round table, perhaps to separate him from Hancock.
"Charlize, go over there! Have you already forgotten what I told you?"
Loya pretended to be angry.

"嘁~"
Charlia stood up unwillingly, about to sit down opposite.
"Little sister Liya, let's switch places. That way, you can get closer to Lord Wu."
Nico Robin stood up and smiled at Charlize.
"Hancock, it's time to sit down and eat!"
Loya looked at Hancock in his arms, who still refused to get down, and gently reminded her.
"My husband, feed me~"
Hancock buried her head in Loya's arms, tightening her embrace, but still refused to come down.
"Okay, okay? Get to know your girlfriends, and you should get along well with them in the future!"
Loya spoke patiently and softly.
Hancock's eyes flickered, and she slightly turned her gaze to the other women present.
She didn't care about anyone else and didn't pay them any attention. However, when she saw Gion still wearing her navy coat, her gaze couldn't help but falter slightly.
What are the navy doing here?
Hancock finally snapped out of her daze.

Loya then gently placed Hancock on Charlia's cushion.
"Hmm~" Hancock gave a soft reproach, tidied her appearance, and sat up straight.
Seating arrangements often reflect social status.
Now, to Loya's left is Hancock.
To the right is Gion.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting, let's eat!"
Looking at the untouched dining table, Loya said with a hint of apology.
Perona, who had been starving but dared not touch her mouth, began to wolf down her food after hearing Loya's words, eating with great gusto.
But the other seven women moved gracefully, chewing slowly and deliberately, each with their own little thoughts.
"You have two more sisters, they're at the villa in Chambord, I haven't brought them over yet~"
“One of them is named Vinsmoke Reiju, the eldest princess of the Germa Kingdom in the North Sea.”
"A girl named Nami possesses the extraordinary navigator talent 'Zero-53,' making her arguably the strongest navigator! Moreover, she is the youngest among you, having just turned eighteen this year."
Loya finished his introduction.
Charlia was startled: "There's another princess?"
"The princess of the Germa Kingdom? Husband, you've brought Germa under your control too?" Gion exclaimed in surprise.
Luo Ya took a sip of wine and said, "Xia Xiaoqi is the daughter of Xia Qi, the former empress of the Women's Kingdom. In fact, she can also be considered a princess of the Women's Kingdom."
"If I want to overthrow the current world government system dominated by the Celestial Dragons, I must establish another world government system to counter it."
"Therefore, I will marry princesses from many countries in the future."
"For example, Princess Vivi of the Alabasta Kingdom, the princess of Dressrosa, the princess of Wano Country, and so on."
“My marriage to Bonnie is a political one. Bonnie will become the next queen of the Kingdom of Sorbe and rule the entire country.”
"Through this political marriage, with my blood as the bond, I will unite these countries to form a new world government system and establish a new naval system."
"Gion, you will be a Navy Admiral under the new system from now on."
Loya said these words.
Except for Perona, everyone else put down their chopsticks or knives and forks.
"Hey, do you have the strength of a Marine Admiral?"
Hancock put down her small wine glass and looked at Gion with a hint of hostility. "Don't embarrass our husband!"
Seeing this, Gion was not angry, but smiled and said:
“Sister Hancock, since our husband has entrusted such an important position to me…”
That means my husband firmly believes I'm capable of handling this.
"Hancock, you may not believe me, but you should at least believe your husband, right?"
