Kaido genuinely wants Harald to join the Beasts Pirates.
Harald's attitude was no longer as firm as it had been at the beginning; he simply shook his head and said, "Sorry, Kaido."
"I am the King of Elbaf. I have a responsibility to my kingdom and my people. There is really no way I can join the Beasts Pirates."
Kaido nodded with some regret, said nothing more, and simply picked up the full glass of wine again and poured it into his mouth.
Harald also drank a glass of wine, then looked at his son.
Loki, with his enormous body, sat among the Beasts Pirates, eating and drinking.
He was clearly a cursed prince in the eyes of the Elbaf giants, someone who would bring disaster, and everyone avoided him like the plague.
But now...
Even though Loki's eyes were no longer covered by the white cloth, none of the Beast Pirates' children were afraid.
A group of children were eating and chatting.
Loki used to be taciturn, even when facing his father.
But today he seems to have found his friend.
Harald sighed softly and called out, "Loki."
"What's wrong?" Loki looked at his father in confusion.
Harald stared at Loki, his expression serious, and asked earnestly, "Have you thought it through? Are you really going to join the Beasts Pirates?"
“Yes, Father, I have made up my mind!” Loki nodded firmly.
His father treated him well, but as king, he was often too busy to spend much time with him.
Moreover... Father has another family.
He didn't dislike the woman named Ida; in fact, she was quite nice to him.
Harald suddenly smiled: "Don't be nervous, once you've made up your mind, I won't stop you."
Loki breathed a sigh of relief; he was genuinely afraid his father wouldn't let him join the Beasts Pirates.
The precocious Ray suddenly waved at Loki: "Hey, big guy."
Loki looked at Ray and asked, "What's wrong?"
He then quickly added, "Also, my name isn't Hey, it's Loki."
Ray smiled and replied, "Okay, Loki, from now on we're partners, right?"
“Yes.” Loki nodded.
Ray laughed and said, "Since we're partners now, let's have a drink."
"Oh, okay." Loki picked up the juice on the table and wanted to clink glasses with Ray.
Ray shook his head, his eyes darting around mischievously. "Who drinks juice? You have to drink alcohol to show sincerity."
Loki nodded; he agreed.
Unexpectedly, Stussy, who was clearly drinking with Harald, Kaido, and Raylor, suddenly appeared in front of Ray and even flicked him on the forehead.
"Children shouldn't drink alcohol!"
The power of love is irresistible.
Ray covered his head with both hands: "It hurts, I know, I won't drink it."
Lei Luo sipped his wine, looking somewhat amused at Lei Yi, who was feigning pitifulness in front of Stussy.
Lightning met his strictest mother!
Ray is indeed too young to drink alcohol, but today Raylo doesn't mind if he has a drink with Loki.
Lei Luo waved his hand at Stusi, "Let's make an exception and let him have a drink today."
Stussy listened to Lei Luo and nodded, "Okay."
Ray's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Long live Dad!"
Lei Luo held up one finger and said with a smile, "You can only have one drink!"
“Okay, Dad!” Ray said, raising his right hand in a salute to Raylo.
Lei Luo shook his head with a smile: "That brat."
Ray immediately ran over, grabbed a bottle of wine, and happily poured himself a drink.
Loki immediately looked at his father.
Not only him, but Yamato was also looking at Kaido.
Weevil and Robin also looked at Leilo.
People are naturally curious; they've never even tried what the alcohol adults drink tastes like.
As for Lei Luo's other children, they are still too young.
Rayleigh, Kaido, and Harald did not refuse them, and nodded with smiles.
The children immediately laughed and went to find the wine, excitedly pouring themselves a large glass.
If you can only drink one cup, then of course you should fill it to the brim.
Lei Luo, Kaido, and Harald didn't say anything, but looked at the child with amusement.
After pouring the wine, the group held their glasses with both hands.
Ray laughed and said, "From today onwards, we're partners! Cheers!"
Chapter 232 Who is afraid of whom?
Nothing lasts forever.
The banquet drew to a close amidst the children's laughter and the adults' hearty cheers.
Lipley sometimes admires Leroy.
He beat up Harald's son, stole the Devil Fruit passed down through generations in Elbaf, and even took himself away.
As a result, he managed to drink and chat happily with Harald without changing his expression throughout the banquet.
You should know that you're incredibly guilty.
After the banquet ended, having achieved his goal, Rello did not wish to linger in Elbaf any longer and bid farewell to Harald.
Harald personally escorted the Beasts Pirates to the shore.
It's unclear whether he intended to send the Beasts Pirates as a gift, or to give his son one last farewell.
Looking at the empty sea, Harald asked with some confusion, "Kaido, where is your pirate ship?"
Kaido grinned: "Pirate ship? We didn't bring one."
Harald was clearly taken aback, but he quickly thought of the Beasts Pirates' abilities and realized something was strange.
Lei Luo called out, "Jin, let's go back."
"Okay." Jin responded, then bent down, his palm lightly touching the ground, and then his fingers gently twitched.
The land on the coast of Elbaf split open, and the Beast Pirates and their crew stood on it, slowly floating upwards.
Harald's eyes twitched as he looked at them.
That's outrageous!
They actually seized Elbaf's territory right in front of the king!
Lei Luo didn't care about any of that.
He had an inexplicable obsession with the land.
Besides, what's wrong with your son taking some of his hometown with him when he leaves? Is there a problem?
Looking at the calm and collected Lero, Lipuli's understanding of this man's shamelessness was once again refreshed.
However, given the current situation, she seems to be an accomplice, standing alongside the Beasts Pirates on this ceded land.
Loki stood there, waving goodbye to Harald: "Father, go back."
Seeing the genuine joy on Loki's face, Harald felt a mix of emotions.
He felt guilty towards his son; he was not a good father.
Now my son is about to set sail on a long sea voyage...
But it's all good; at least Loki will be happier with the Beasts Pirates.
Harald smiled and nodded.
Loki turned around, looking at the sky and the sea, filled with anticipation for his life with the Beasts Pirates.
Lipley looked at Elbaf with lingering reluctance.
She was about to leave the place where she had lived for decades and start a new life with this man elsewhere.
Lipley's mind immediately began to wander, and then her whole face turned red with embarrassment, even her ears were burning.
Sitting on Ripley's chest, Lero could clearly feel the temperature rising.
Turning around, I saw that Lipley's whole body was red, like a boiled shrimp.
Lei Luo pressed his palm down to feel the temperature and asked, "You have a fever?"
Lipley: "..."
Watching his son's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Harald suddenly called out, "Loki."
Loki turned around and looked at his father with a puzzled expression. "What's wrong?"
Jin's fingers paused, and the ground beneath his feet stopped rising, bidding a final farewell to the father and son.
Fathers are creatures of few words.
A gentle smile appeared on Harald's face. "Take care of yourself, don't get hurt."
The group quickly returned to the Celestial Empire.
Loki's eyes lit up.
For him, the world outside of Elbaf was full of novelty.
The boy never hid his thoughts; they were all written on his face, and Lei Luo could tell at a glance.
He then instructed Ray, "Take Loki for a good look around."
“Okay, Dad,” Ray replied obediently.
Then he waved to Loki and said, "Come on, I'll take you to play."
Robin and Yamato quickly raised their hands and shouted, "I want to go too! I want to go too!"
Lei Luo nodded: "Let's go together."
Yamato chuckled cutely, and then its body began to transform, turning into a pink dragon.
Some things require talent.
Four-year-old Yamato's use of the fruit is far superior to that useless Momonosuke.
The pink dragon opened its mouth and called out to Robin, "Sister Robin, come up here quickly."
"Hey, you're here." Robin smiled sweetly and transformed into a cloud, floating onto the dragon's back.
Lei Luo quickly instructed, "Don't go to town yet, go somewhere else to play."
Because of Kaido's existence, the Celestial Empire has actually been built to be very tall and large.
Anyway, there are two senior students, Jhin and Barrett.
However, the two giants were much taller than Kaido, especially Loki.
This needs to be modified.
Loki has joined the Beasts Pirates, so Ripley will be his woman from now on.
From then on, the Celestial Empire became their home, at least allowing them to move freely.
