"Your Highness, you can leave it here."

"When will you come again? I'll take you to see the sea of flowers. It is full of all kinds of beautiful flowers, and based on the timing, they should all bloom collectively before long."

"Alright, if I get the chance, I'll definitely come back."

"Then it's a promise~"

"Okay."

As Abel prepared to depart by boat, he looked at the beautiful princess in front of him, struggling to part, and felt helpless inside.

Previously, to help Senor create a grand and romantic proposal ceremony, Abel couldn't help but hit on the idea of involving the royal family of this nation.

Only with their cooperation could he turn all his ideas into reality.

However, the good news was that this place was already under the flag of their Donquixote family, with the entire nation under the family's protection.

Of course, this 'protection' sounded good, but in reality, it was to openly receive 'tribute'.

This was the significance of having territory.

So Abel decisively went to the royal palace and clarified his executive status.

With the existence of the wanted poster, it was easy for the royal family to confirm his identity.

Then came a series of negotiations and haggling.

It wasn't a big deal, and the royal family wasn't foolish enough to refuse and offend the Donquixote family, which was as emerging as the sun in the North Blue.

Moreover, after this relationship was established, if anything happened in the future, would the Donquixote family not help?

This was a profitable deal no matter how one looked at it.

Eventually, both parties reached mutually satisfactory conclusions.

But Abel didn't expect his charm to be so great that he would captivate the princess, who had just turned 18.

Despite repeatedly stating that he was really too young.

The princess, however, said that she herself was young and could wait.

Most interesting was the fact that her father, the king, surprisingly didn't object to his daughter pursuing happiness and didn't care about Abel's 'special status'.

Perhaps this was a common ailment among the people of Romance Island – for the sake of a romantic love, everything else could be ignored.

Everyone has the right to pursue their happiness, and not even a king could deprive them of that.

However, Abel knew he couldn't stay in the North Blue forever, let alone live a stable life with the beautiful princess.

So he gave up on that idea.

As for Senor Pink and Lucianne's wedding, it was scheduled to take place in three months.

A lot of things needed to be arranged in advance.

Senor Pink didn't plan to invite family members to the wedding; he also didn't want Lucianne to know his true past, so he needed these three months to finish all the tasks arranged by the family.

In fact, Abel had offered to help him with some of it, but he declined.

The reason was that Abel had already helped him too much.

Of course, when the time came to marry, Abel might be the only one from the family who would be invited and would attend.

"What's wrong? You've been sulking ever since a while ago."

After boarding the ship and leaving, Abel let out a sigh of relief and looked at Baby-5, who was pouting, with a bit of amusement.

"It's because Abel wouldn't let me take out that bad woman."

"If someone just helped us and then you take them out right after, how would that look? If word gets out, who would dare to cooperate with the Donquixote family in the future?"

"I'm not listening, not listening!"

"Alright, tell me then, why do you always think about taking her out? It doesn't seem like she's done anything to you, has she?""That wicked woman always wants to steal Abel from me; I can't forgive her!"

Abel couldn't help but let out a wry smile upon hearing this, and then he reassured her by rubbing the little girl's head, "Don't worry, nobody can take me away from you."

"And have you forgotten? You're my most important personal weapon, and we agreed to never part."

The little girl's mood instantly brightened, and she nodded vigorously, "Yes! I am Abel's personal weapon, and we will never be separated!"

"But what if bad women appear again in the future?"

"Then I'll have to count on you to protect me. Just chase them all away. Of course, you have to ask me before taking action, in case you attack the wrong person by mistake."

"Okay, I'll protect Abel in the future and drive away all the bad women!"

At that moment, Baby-5 revealed her own lofty ambitions, not yet realizing how difficult it would be to fulfill this ideal in the future since not every 'bad woman' was as frail as the princess of Romancia.

...

Sabaody Archipelago, Area 13.

After many twists and turns, the three sisters - Boa Hancock and her siblings - were finally rescued and brought here.

Those who came to seek them out included the former Empress of the Amazon Lily, Gloriosa, a white-haired short granny.

The previous Empress of Amazon Lily, known as Shakuyaku, is a tall, thin woman with black short hair.

Living with Shakuyaku was Silvers Rayleigh, an old man with silver hair and a beard, wearing glasses.

Of course, one should not underestimate this old man; he had been the first mate on the ship of the Pirate King, Roger, known as the "right hand of the Pirate King."

Aside from the Boa sisters, there was another woman who ended up at Shakuyaku's bar on the island with nowhere else to go.

"Hancock, it's still too dangerous here; we must return to Amazon Lily as soon as possible," the short granny with a walking stick said sternly.

Hancock, however, didn't even glance at her and instead approached the other woman, asking, "Ivankov, what have you decided? I have already told you the situation in Amazon Lily, do you wish to come with me to Amazon Lily?"

Kroley, the dethroned queen from the North Blue, took a deep breath before responding, "I will go with you to Amazon Lily, but I won't give up my ideals."

"If one day I find like-minded comrades, I will leave Amazon Lily, giving my all to achieve my goal, and I hope you understand."

In fact, Ivankov would not have ended up here if Fisher Tiger had not lost trust in humans and disagreed with her joining his crew, which comprised only fish-men.

But the resolve Ivankov held to liberate slaves wasn't diminished; instead, it was reinforced by witnessing the Celestial Dragons' atrocities during that time.

Although Fisher Tiger, whom she regarded as a 'leader' and 'hero,' didn't accept her, she believed that there would be thousands more slaves to stand against the Celestial Dragons till the end!

And what she needed to do was to become stronger herself, strong enough to take control of her destiny, before qualifying to change the destinies of others!

She would harness the power of the devil that the Celestial Dragons forced upon her for their amusement!
