White Ghost's face darkened.
When the hell did I become your husband?
The women's faces also darkened.
When had their man found another woman outside?
They turned and glared at White Ghost.
But when they saw the black look on his face, then looked again at Uholisia, they immediately understood.
Their man would never take a liking to someone like this.
If White Ghost wanted someone, he would look for the kind with a delicate figure and a cute, petite appearance.
This kind of warrior woman was truly not his type.
Uholisia stared at White Ghost with a lovestruck expression.
The Niho chief also nodded in satisfaction, as if saying:
Good. At least he isn't some pretty little weakling.
Uholisia hurried forward, reaching out to pull White Ghost.
"Husband, come with me. We'll go get married right away."
Ain's expression turned ugly.
Her figure flashed, and she appeared in front of Uholisia, one hand resting on the hilt at her waist as she looked at her coldly.
Uholisia stopped and looked at the slender woman blocking her path.
"Move aside. Don't get in the way of me and my husband."
White Ghost's expression became utterly calm, impossible to read.
He turned to Chinjao.
"Was this deliberate?"
Chinjao was badly startled by White Ghost's calm tone and hurriedly waved his hands.
"Misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"
Anyone could see that White Ghost's expression was wrong.
He looked like he was about to explode.
Unfortunately, for some reason, the Niho chief glanced at the women beside White Ghost, then looked back at him with displeasure.
"You brat, aren't you a little too fickle? So many women already?
"But that's fine. Once you marry my precious granddaughter, I'll allow you to take them as concubines."
The moment he finished speaking, the Niho chief felt a sharp pain in his head.
Boom!
His whole body was smashed into a pit.
White Ghost stepped on his bald head, his face pale as he said, "Say that again. I didn't hear you clearly."
Chinjao and the others were shocked.
They had wanted to stop him just now, but their vision blurred, and White Ghost vanished.
The next second, a crash rang out beside them.
When they turned, White Ghost was already stepping on the Niho chief's head, looking down at him from above and telling him to repeat what he had just said.
Chinjao hurried forward.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! Mr. White Ghost, this is all a misunderstanding!"
White Ghost ignored Chinjao and increased the force beneath his foot.
Crack.
The ground split open again.
"I told you to speak. Didn't you hear me?"
Seeing this, the other chiefs drew their weapons and aimed them at White Ghost.
How their own people fought among themselves was one thing.
But if an outsider wanted to do something to one of them, then they were sorry, but that was another matter.
"Don't act rashly!"
Chinjao shouted, his expression grave as he looked at White Ghost.
Before meeting him, Chinjao had still believed he could stop White Ghost.
But after seeing him in person, Chinjao had no confidence at all.
White Ghost's aura was too terrifying.
It was just like Golden Lion back then.
"Hey, hey, hey. Looks pretty lively here."
Kuro slowly descended from the sky, looking at the chiefs holding weapons.
Click.
Kontena's weapon locked onto one chief's head.
As long as White Ghost gave the order, he would pull the trigger without hesitation.
"Is someone trying to harm our captain?"
Enel slowly walked over, silver staff in hand.
Urouge and Wyper followed one after another.
"Roar!"
A-Da and A-Er were even more direct. They transformed into their beast forms, glaring coldly at the chiefs.
As White Ghost's people gradually gathered, the Flower Country chiefs began to lose their composure.
These people's auras were all terrifying, each one stronger than the last.
Before this, they had looked down on White Ghost's crew.
But now it seemed they themselves were the clowns.
Uholisia was already frightened stupid.
Ain and the other women's Observation Haki locked firmly onto her, as though the moment she dared move recklessly, she would be torn apart.
The people on the street had all fled.
No one dared stay here.
Some had already run to call the soldiers.
Cold sweat appeared on Chinjao's forehead as he looked at White Ghost's raised foot.
He hurriedly said, "Mr. White Ghost, please show mercy.
"He is a naval chief of the Flower Country, and also one of the country's generals."
White Ghost glanced at Chinjao, the corner of his mouth curving.
"Are you using the World Government to pressure me?"
Chinjao was just about to say no when White Ghost stomped down.
Boom!
The Niho chief, who had only just regained a little consciousness after being knocked unconscious, felt pain explode at the back of his head and fainted again.
White Ghost smiled at Chinjao.
"Unfortunately, I don't buy that."
He looked coldly at Uholisia.
"Say one more word, and I'll cripple all of you."
Uholisia trembled all over.
White Ghost's icy gaze frightened her, making her face turn pale.
Finally, White Ghost looked at Chinjao.
"If you want to call for help, do it quickly. I'll wait for you at the harbor.
"At worst, I'll just be wanted by the World Government."
After saying that, White Ghost led his people away.
Chinjao heard White Ghost's voice drift back.
"I originally had a decent impression of this place. Now? Heh. What a damn mood-killer."
Chinjao sighed and waved for someone to take the Niho chief away for treatment.
Then he turned to his two grandsons.
"Follow them. Don't let anyone else provoke that group again, or this really won't be explainable.
"I'll go to the palace first and explain the situation to His Majesty."
The two brothers hurried after White Ghost.
They couldn't allow some blind fool to anger him again.
When Chinjao arrived at the palace and reported everything to King Ramen in full detail, the king let out a long sigh.
"So White Ghost wasn't truly enraged?"
Chinjao nodded.
"I was right there. He didn't kill anyone. He only taught the Niho chief a lesson."
King Ramen stroked the long whiskers at the corners of his mouth and motioned for the soldier beside him to speak.
The soldier kneeling on one knee carefully recounted everything White Ghost's crew had done from the moment they entered the Flower Country.
After listening closely, Chinjao let out another long sigh.
From the sound of it, White Ghost had actually held some goodwill toward the Flower Country and had behaved properly the whole way.
Who could have expected the Niho chief to suddenly pop out?
Now that little bit of goodwill was probably gone.
King Ramen considered something in silence.
Chinjao did not dare disturb him and stood respectfully to one side.
After thinking for a while, King Ramen turned to Chinjao.
"If we invite them to attend a banquet tonight, do you think it would work?"
Chinjao thought briefly, then nodded.
"It should. That man isn't so petty. I think he'll come."
King Ramen nodded.
"Then you go invite him. You will be in charge of the banquet arrangements.
"As for Uholisia, tell her to take care of her grandfather and stop running around."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chinjao bowed and left, unable to hide the joy on his face.
As long as they treated White Ghost properly at the banquet, that matter would pass.
Besides, his two grandsons were both quite strong.
Getting them aboard White Ghost's ship shouldn't be impossible.
Chinjao suddenly seemed to think of something and waved a hand.
A member of the Happo Navy quickly ran over.
Chinjao lowered his head and whispered something into the man's ear.
The man nodded, then hurried back.
The corners of Chinjao's mouth rose.
"I refuse to believe you won't be interested in these."
