Chapter Nine, The Pirate Version of One Thousand and One Nights
Many women on Amazon displayed fervent expressions on their faces as they covered their chests and exclaimed: "Your Majesty the Empress!"
"Ah, do you want to stay?" the Empress asked in surprise, covering her mouth.
Leo brought the modern mindset into the discussion, viewing the Empress's choices with excessive rationality and calmness, which led to a humorous situation
The proprietress, Lian, sat in the VIP section, not leaving her seat. Instead, she held a bottle of wine in her hand, propped her chin on her arm, and gazed at the man seated before her, who spoke eloquently, with an appreciative look, her eyes filled with admiration.
Thus, under the incessant harassment of pirates, this princess was captured and taken to the Sabaody Archipelago, where she was sold to the Celestial Dragons
The tales of One Thousand and One Nights, though originating over a thousand years ago, are imbued with profound philosophy. Their denunciation of ignorant rulers and dark realities is no less significant than that found in various modern classics. However, after undergoing extensive religious embellishment, they are filled with a plethora of tedious praises to the divine. When Leo removes these elements, the stories become concise and incisive. Coupled with Leo's localized expressions, the entire narrative is infused with various explosive elements.
With the arrival of the Empress and the ancient Loli Osa, everyone hurriedly made way, allowing the Empress and her two younger sisters to enter the tavern
"Haven't you yet agreed to work with me..." Leo looked at the joyful blush on the Empress's face and felt a sudden jolt in his heart, as if he had overlooked something important.
Although the man sat right in the middle, surrounded by countless Amazonian warriors gazing at him, he showed no signs of intimidation and spoke eloquently: "That female slave was originally a princess from a certain country. However, the royal family of that country, being compassionate, did not wish to exploit their own people to obtain heavenly gold, thereby becoming a member state of the world government. As a result of not having heavenly gold and not being a member state of the world government, their country has been facing great difficulties, and the navy does not protect those countries that do not pay heavenly gold."
I cannot tell you all these stories in one go; I will be staying on Amazon Lily Island for a while, which conveniently leaves you with a suspense and a bit of fun. His face was adorned with a wise smile, and he exuded the self-assuredness typical of modern individuals
When the Empress and the ancient Loli Osa arrived at the tavern, it was already bustling with noise, with hundreds of Amazonian women inside listening to stories, while outside, eager Amazonian female warriors were lining up, waiting to enter
The title of this first story is: The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fishmonger
Hancock maintained a calm demeanor and completely ignored him, simply looking at Leo and asking, "Why did you stop speaking?"
For instance, the Empress perceives the princess in her role as a slave, while Sandasonia and Marigold see their own tragic experiences. Others are moved by the resonance among women, which is well-known to be particularly strong in this regard. Consequently, many marketing accounts on the internet deliberately create narratives that resonate with women, emphasizing the facts of the news within a feminine context, which easily leads to achieving high levels of shares and engagement. It is widely recognized that women have a strong resonance in this area, prompting many marketing accounts online to intentionally guide the narrative towards women's perspectives, thereby highlighting the news facts in a way that aligns with feminine sentiments, making it easy to achieve targeted sharing performance.
The errand runner at the tavern stood at the entrance, charging each person individually. However, it was simply too crowded inside, and some people, feeling too lazy to pay, directly leaned over from the second floor to listen to the stories.
He did this day after day, and after a month, it finally came to this princess.
She was unwilling to die just like that, so she said to the Celestial Dragon: "How about I tell you a story from my hometown? After I finish telling it, we can share the same bed." The already irritable and brutal Celestial Dragon agreed, and thus the princess slowly began to narrate the story of her hometown
In that case, you may stay here. The empress, who initially intended to give him a definitive answer, instantly displayed her intelligence and said with a smile
The title of this story is One Thousand and One Nights, and this is merely the beginning of the tale. As the young woman continued to narrate the story, each morning it would end at the most thrilling point. Therefore, that day the dragon man neither touched her nor killed her; instead, he kept her to prepare for the story of the following day
Previously, we also mentioned that this Celestial Dragon, after being betrayed by his slave wife, became extremely brutal. He no longer trusted slaves, yet he still had those needs. Every day, he would choose a new virgin slave, and then on the following morning, he would kill that virgin.
The nearby Amazon warriors were instantly captivated by her smile, and they all shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, the Empress!"
Clearly, his departure for the sea has to be postponed, but this is also for the best
And she ultimately used the stories of One Thousand and One Nights to secure herself time and opportunities for survival
The atmosphere in the tavern is very lively, with basically every person having a bottle of wine in hand, clearly indicating that today is destined to be a profitable day for the landlady
Gulori Osa stood behind the Empress, smiling as she looked at him, indeed starting to believe that this fellow was not truly an enemy spy infiltrating Amazon Lily Island; a spy with so many flaws would probably not last a few days.
After going through it in his mind, a smile appeared on his face: "Just right, my body hasn't fully recovered yet, so I will rest for a while in the Amazon Lily Kingdom."
Indeed, what he is speaking of are the tales of One Thousand and One Nights
Among one thousand people, there are one thousand Hamlets, and in Leo's story, the one thousand Amazon warriors perceive the story in completely different ways
"Why have you stopped speaking? Please continue." Empress Hancock stood in the middle of the path cleared by everyone, inevitably becoming the center of attention. With her hands on her hips, she wore a red dress that resembled flames, exposing large areas of her skin, which was so fair it left people in a daze.
Neither of them paid her any attention. Leo, frustrated, tapped his own head, realizing that he had made a "common sense" mistake by thinking of everyone in overly "utilitarian" terms. In reality, this is an agricultural society where most people will wholeheartedly believe in you once you move them. Often, the transition between the villains and heroes in One Piece hinges on just one action that can touch them.
It is precisely for this reason that when Leo recounted this story, all the women present resonated with it; they truly immersed themselves in the identity of a female slave while listening to the tale. When they reached the first story, he suddenly stopped, and everyone let out a disappointed sigh, as the uniformity of their reaction instead stirred up a tremendous wave of sound in the entire setting, startling everyone.
