One Piece King

Chapter 242 The Returning Empress

"Devil Fruit?"

Irene looked at the fruit in Lei Luo's hand in great surprise. This was the first time she had seen such a legendary thing.

"Yeah." Lei Luo nodded: "You shouldn't have eaten other devil fruits before, right?"

"No."

"That's all right, eat her quickly, the wound on your body will definitely recover!" Lei Luo said.

Hearing this, Erin was stunned again.

Can he recover from his injuries?
She was silent, reaching out to touch her mask and the scarf that tightly wrapped her neck.

For ten years, no matter how the seasons change, she is always dressed like this, with her head covered and her face covered. She looks so mysterious that all the commoners on the island respect her and dare not approach her.

Now, Lei Luo actually took out such a precious devil fruit again, saying that it can heal the burns on her body?
"You" Irene slightly opened her lips.

"Huh?" Lei Luo stared at Irene, then grinned slightly.

After seeing Lei Luo's smile, Irene couldn't stop, and shed tears again.

"Uh, what's wrong with you?"

Lei Luo was also a little confused when he saw this.

Why did you start crying again while talking?Isn't it just a devil fruit? As for being so moved?
"Why are you so nice to me?" Irene asked in a trembling voice while wiping her tears vigorously.

So was Aunt Betty back then.

So is Lei Luo now.

Is this family all angels descending to earth?

"Hey, don't cry, look at your snot coming out, you are still a blue-haired witch, if people on Daughter's Island see it, won't you laugh at you?" Lei Luo changed the subject.

After hearing this, Irene quickly took out a tissue from her clothes, and wiped away her tears and snot fiercely.

"This fruit...I...I accept it, and I will return this kindness in the future." Irene said.

"Do we still need to talk about this between the two of us?" Lei Luo replied with a smile.

He felt that since Irene had said everything, the two of them were half childhood sweethearts who had lived together since they were young, plus they had experienced life and death together ten years ago, so they could be regarded as life and death friends, right?
However, what he said left a big misunderstanding in Irene's heart for some time to come.

With a blushing face, he took the Devil Fruit at a loss, and ran away.

Lei Luo was left behind, standing by the pool inexplicably, looking at the back of Irene who was getting further and further away, feeling a little confused for a while.

"What a strange girl."

"Could it be that she likes me?"

Muttering, and then shrugging, Lei Luo immediately wiped his wet hair with a towel, and walked quickly back to Margaret's residence.

the next few days.

After learning that Lei Luo was being monitored by Margaret, Irene decisively issued an order to evacuate Margaret, Kikyo and others from Lei Luo.

In response to the fact that a man broke into Daughter's Island, Irene did not order the kingdom's guards to stop the search.

After all, this matter has almost caused an uproar in the city. It is said that this is just a rumor, and it is estimated that not many people will believe it. It would be better to wait for the empress to come back, and then let Lei Luo stand in front of her and explain clearly. Believe it When the empress sees her savior, she will definitely lose her composure, right?
Erin thought so.

"By the way, have you eaten the devil fruit I gave you?"

In the restaurant, Lei Luo, who was waiting for the food, glanced at Irene who was sitting opposite him, still wrapping herself up airtight, and couldn't help but doubt. Could it be that the devil fruit he found didn't work?
Unexpectedly, Irene shook her head and said, "I haven't eaten yet."

"Why?" Lei Luo was even more puzzled.

It stands to reason that the burns severely affected her life for ten years. After getting the Slippery Fruit, Irene should have swallowed it without saying a word.

"I'm not ready yet." Irene thought for a while.

"Mental preparation?"

Lei Luo frowned, obviously not understanding what Irene's so-called psychological preparation meant.

However, the dishes had just been served, and Lei Luo hadn't even picked up his chopsticks to eat two bites, when he saw the giant woman, Eflandra, who used to follow Margaret's buttocks, ran in.

"Master Irene, Master She Ji is back, and she said she wants to see you!"

"is it?"

Irene nodded when she heard the words, and then looked at Lei Luo: "Let's go and clarify the matter first."

"What about the food?" Lei Luo looked at the dishes on this table and smacked his lips in reluctance.

"Hancock is the empress of this country, and when we meet her, you can eat whatever you want for free." Irene said flatly.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up!"

Hearing this, Lei Luo stood up without saying a word, and almost rushed towards the door without starting the razor.

Erin: "."

After ten minutes.

Daughter's Island Ring Arena.

Standing at the door, Lei Luo looked at the huge building that was no different from the bullfighting arena in Dressrosa, and asked a little strangely, "What are we doing here?"

And Irene, who heard Lei Luo's question, turned to look at Eflandra.

"It's Lady Snake, she said she wants you to come here to find her." Aflandra explained.

Irene couldn't help frowning, and suddenly felt a very bad premonition in her heart.

Lei Luo obediently followed the two into the gate of the arena, and then found a seat near the front of the stands.

Looking around, across the long distance, on the high tower behind the arena, on a series of stone steps, it seems that a woman in red clothes is sitting, she looks very tall.

Lei Luo narrowed his eyes.

There is a distance of more than 100 meters. Although I can't see what the other person's face looks like, but just from the degree of fair skin and the gestures she makes with her legs crossed, she can definitely make people feel that she is a woman. Beauty without a doubt.

"Is that the Empress?"

Lei Luo muttered in a low voice.

At the same time, Irene, who was called over, also wore her iconic mask and walked to the chair at the top of the tower with an epee on her back.

"Are you here?" The woman in red held her cheek with the back of her hand, turned her head to look at Irene: "How much do you know about the man who broke into the island?"

"this one"

Irene was about to say that the man was Lei Luo who rescued them ten years ago, but who knows, before she could speak, the woman in red went on to say: "The woman who broke in with that man, isn't it? Hidden by you?"
