One Piece: Shadow monarch? I'm Just Logistics!

Chapter 224: Long Time No See, Nami

A week has passed since the great war at Marineford.

The results of the war spread throughout the world with extreme speed.

The balance of the New World, ruled by the Four Emperors, was shattered in a single day. The chain reaction triggered by Whitebeard's death was still intensifying.

Of course.

For the Straw Hat crew, this had no effect for the time being.

Momoiro Island, the Kamabakka Kingdom, also known as the second Maiden Island.

Here, the sky and the sea were both a shade of pink, and even the mountain peaks were heart-shaped.

At the foot of a towering peak, vicious curses mixed with dull impact sounds were incessant.

"Be cut into a thousand pieces, you bastard!"

Bang!

"Be thrown into a pot of boiling oil and boiled to a pulp!"

Bang!

"Salt and pepper charcoal-grilled Reiner!"

Bang! Bang!

The mountain peak trembled violently and intermittently, shaking off countless loose rocks each time.

Sanji's entire body was burning with flames. The extreme anger triggered by his disappointment turning to despair had transformed into tangible hatred in his eyes.

"This is your so-called second Maiden Island!!"

"Give me back my Kuja Island!!"

"Go to hell!!"

On the steep red rock face, the two large characters for 'Reiner' were carved. Sanji roared angrily, kicking out again and again!

I swear! I will definitely, definitely!

Kill you!!

Bang!

Bang!

The fine sand on the ground jumped with the vibrations. In a distant corner, a group of people hid, secretly watching him.

Those people were wearing various exquisitely made dresses, their every move appearing demure, and they were all heavily made up.

At the same time, their skin was rough...

Their body hair was thick...

"What kind of hatred is this, to make Sanji-boy so angry?"

"Compared to this..."

An okama in a purple princess dress, with a rugged appearance, held a light pink girlish dress in his hand, his eyes shining as he looked at Sanji.

"Today, we must make Sanji-boy successfully wear it!"

"Sneak Attack Plan F, go!"

"Be your true self, Sanji-boy!"

With the command, several okama simultaneously erupted and attacked Sanji from behind.

"You're so annoying, you damn okamas!"

Sensing the abnormality behind him, Sanji's unvented anger all transformed into magma-like heat that coiled around his legs.

He pushed off the ground and shot out, his legs spinning 360 degrees in the air like a propeller!

"Can't you see I'm busy! Diable Jambe!"

"Parage Shot Full Course!!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Uwaah!"

"Swaah!"

One after another, wails were heard as all the charging okama were sent flying back through the air.

His feet, like spinning wheels of fire, carried powerful leg strength and scorching high temperatures, swiftly striking the sneak attackers.

Sanji landed and lit a cigarette, took a drag, and slowly exhaled the smoke. He said with disdain, "With just you guys, you can't possibly win against me."

"Damn it!"

"He's too strong!"

The okama lay on the ground one by one, gritting their teeth with unwilling expressions.

And at this moment.

A strange, loud cry suddenly came from the distance.

"My lovelies! Your queen has returned!!"

"—Hee-haw!"

On the coast, a figure with a purple afro jumped down from a ship that had just docked!

"Ivankov!"

Seeing the newcomer, the anger in Sanji's eyes erupted again. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "You were clearly there at the time, and you actually teamed up with that bastard to screw me over!!"

After discovering that this was the Okama Kingdom, Sanji immediately thought of the Okama King, Ivankov.

Upon asking, he found that the other was indeed the queen here. Sanji immediately recalled Ivankov's sinister smile when Reiner was introducing Momoiro Island to him!

These two bastards were in cahoots!

"Screw you over?"

"No—no—no!"

Ivankov wagged his index finger, one hand on his hip as he looked at him with great interest. "Every word Reiner-boy said was true."

Zing...

His pink leather-gloved fingers came together, and long, thin needles instantly shot out from his fingertips. A corner of Ivankov's mouth lifted. "Could it be that Sanji-boy doesn't approve of my lovely girls?"

"Lovely my ass!"

Sanji closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. A tear couldn't help but be squeezed out from the corner of his eye. He gritted his teeth.

"So-called women! They should have skin that is delicate and smooth, be curvy in all the right places, and exude a charming aura!"

"Emporio Female Hormones!"

Pfft!

Just then, Ivankov suddenly stabbed the needles into his own waist.

Then, before Sanji's shocked eyes, his body began to shrink, his chest gradually became fuller, and his rough skin became smooth.

In less than a few seconds, he had instantly transformed into a tall, sexy woman in a hot leather outfit!

"Here it comes, Lord Iva's ability!"

"This is the power of miracles!"

The okamas' eyes shone with adoration as they cheered.

Sanji stood there dumbfounded, completely stunned by the scene.

"What on earth just happened?"

What a sexy beauty!!

No, no, that's an okama!

But the full breasts and perky butt... that's definitely a woman, right!

No, no, no! What am I thinking? That person was a man just now!

So, a super sexy okama with a hot body?

Under the fierce impact of various contradictory thoughts, Sanji's brain instantly shut down!

This isn't training at all!!

I've clearly come here to face my death tribulation!!

On the other side, several thousand meters up in the sky, was the small sky island of Weatheria, a country dedicated to the study of meteorological science.

Firm, white cotton clouds were stacked layer upon layer. Although it was a sky island, it didn't need a sea of clouds to support it like Angel Island; instead, it floated in the air on its own.

And on top of the clouds was actually a stretch of grassland, with green hills rising and falling.

From time to time, one could see a few stooped figures, old men with white goat beards, treading on the grass, strolling between the various buildings.

A falcon streaked across the sky at high speed, circling a few times as if searching for something.

"An artificial sky island?"

Looking at the pleasant scenery below, the peaceful and serene Weatheria, Reiner couldn't help but murmur with emotion, "It's a good place to study with a calm mind."

After looking around for a bit, Reiner recalled the falcon and leaped down from the high sky.

In a residential house on a certain hill, an old man in a simple blue robe and a pointed hat sat in the living room.

The old man squinted his eyes, leaning back on the sofa, drinking coffee and enjoying this rare afternoon moment.

Bang!

"Aiyayaya!"

Suddenly, the study door was violently thrown open. The huge commotion startled him so much that the coffee cup in his hand overturned on him.

"—Hiss, it's hot, it's hot!" The sudden pain made him jump up.

After hastily wiping himself with a cloth, he finally let out a sigh of relief and looked at the figure walking straight out the door.

"What are you going to do now, little girl?" the old man sighed helplessly.

Ever since she had arrived at Weatheria, his leisurely and peaceful life in his later years had gradually drifted away from him.

No, it should be said, it had drifted away from everyone on the island.

"I'm in a bad mood! Can't I even go out for a walk!"

Bang! Nami slammed the door and walked out angrily.

Leaving the old man to sigh alone, "Sigh, what a little handful."

Nami had arrived at Weatheria four days ago.

At first, they had mistaken her for an intruder and were about to lock her up.

And then they were struck by lightning...

Nami had very politely stated her intentions, that she just wanted to stay here to study meteorological science.

There was nothing to refuse. Weatheria welcomed any meteorology enthusiast.

The meteorological talent Nami displayed left them in awe.

At first, everyone thought Weatheria had found a treasure and were overjoyed.

Until that woman revealed her true nature!

Violent!

Too violent!

It was simply a desecration of this sacred place!

But it was useless...

They couldn't beat her, couldn't out-argue her, and couldn't bear to drive her away. So they resorted to academic suppression!

And then Nami acted pitiful and cute, and completely won over the group of old men.

Thus, the Great Demon King of Weatheria began her path of domination.

"Ah, this..."

On the street, listening to the vivid descriptions of several old men, Reiner's lips twitched. "Aren't you guys exaggerating a bit?"

Although it sounded a bit like Nami's style, this was too fast.

In just four days, she had won over a group of old foxes and successfully ruled Weatheria?

"You say we're exaggerating?!"

"Don't underestimate that she-devil, young man!"

"Be very careful if you're going to find her!"

The several kind-faced old men all blew their beards and glared when Nami was mentioned.

"I see. Thank you for the warning. I'll be on my way then."

Reiner smiled and nodded, preparing to head in the direction they had just indicated.

"Oh, right!"

Suddenly thinking of something, he stopped, smiled warmly at the group, and said, "We'll probably be seeing each other often in the future. Please take care of me."

"Oh~, are you planning to stay here?"

"Is the young man also a meteorology enthusiast?"

"Then we'll be in your care in the future, young man."

The several old men resumed their kind expressions and waved goodbye to Reiner.

It wasn't until he was far away that they left together, whispering to each other about Reiner.

"What a polite young man."

"You can tell just by looking at his face. He must be a young man full of thirst for knowledge."

"If only that she-devil had half his temper."

They expressed their opinions of Reiner one by one.

Their tone held undisguised admiration for him.

Little did they know that the small sky island of Weatheria was about to be dominated by a King and a Queen.

Nami was the Queen, and Reiner was the King. Usually...

"Sigh~~"

On an empty hill, Nami sat on the grass with her legs bent, her arms wrapped around her knees.

A gentle breeze swept across the vast fields, gently creating a green ripple.

A trace of disappointment showed in her eyes as she quietly watched the wind blow, gust after gust.

"I wonder how everyone is doing now. I miss everyone so much."

Everyone had gone to different places and started their own training, preparing to enter the New World in two years.

After experiencing the Summit War, they had a deeper understanding of their own weakness.

Ordinary people felt desperate on that kind of battlefield, and when facing an Admiral's pursuit, what was the difference between them and ordinary people?

Just one Aokiji was enough to make everyone flee in panic.

"I wonder where that guy went..."

Nami stared blankly at the grassland, sighed in disappointment, and buried her face in her arms.

Everyone else had a fixed training location, but only Reiner said he would travel all over the world. No one knew where he would go.

"He clearly promised to take me on a trip around the world."

A cold wind blew over her arms, a little chilly.

But the restlessness in her heart did not diminish in the slightest.

"I hate him," Nami buried her face deeper, unconsciously clenching her hands.

"Liar..."

Although she knew Weatheria was the right place for her to study.

Although she knew Reiner had gone to train, to better protect everyone.

But she just couldn't help but feel disappointed.

For the first time, she found it so hard to be away from everyone.

I really want to be with Reiner...

When she first arrived here and saw all sorts of new and strange things, she was still quite excited.

Knotted ropes that could release wind, bubbles that could wrap around clouds, all sorts of advanced meteorological knowledge...

But after the novelty wore off, the tedious study began.

She liked meteorological science and didn't hate studying.

But the thought of not seeing her comrades for two whole years, day after day...

Loneliness welled up in her heart, as if it would suffocate her.

She missed everything on the ship. Even the sound of Luffy's shouting seemed to have become cute.

Thinking of this, Nami couldn't help but chuckle.

"—Phew."

Looking up, she let out a long breath. Nami wiped the tear stains from under her slightly red eyes and patted her cheeks to cheer herself up.

Pat, pat!

"Go for it, Nami! Everyone is working hard, you have to persevere too!"

"Go back and continue studying! I have to finish learning about the influence of climate on magnetic fields this week!"

After muttering to herself a few times, Nami forced a smile onto her face.

Just as she was about to get up.

She heard a familiar voice by her ear.

"Long time no see, Nami."

Nami's heart skipped a beat. She sat there stunned, somewhat at a loss.

Her mind went blank for a second. Excited, and also worried.

She was afraid it was a sudden auditory hallucination, afraid that if she turned around, all that would be left for her was an empty grassland.

Until a rustling sound came from behind her, as if someone had knelt down behind her.

An arm passed through her waist and gently wrapped around her. It was a blue sleeve.

A firm chest pressed against her back, very warm, with a familiar scent.

"The liar is here."

Reiner leaned in close to Nami's ear, gently kissed her cheek where her hair fell, and said with a gentle smile, "I've come to take you on a trip around the world."

It wasn't a hallucination. It wasn't an illusion.

It was really Reiner.

Nami pursed her lips, her eyes immediately turning red again. Tears she couldn't hold back slid down her face as she sobbed intermittently, "Did you just..."

"Mm, I was hiding behind you and eavesdropping," Reiner chuckled.

"You bastard!" Nami wiped away her tears, turned around, and buried her head in Reiner's chest, her arms wrapped tightly around him, not letting go.

She held on very tightly, very forcefully, as if she were afraid he would run away...

"Don't go."

"Mm, I won't go."
