Chapter 233 Abdication, the last gift(1/2)
The next day, the news that White Dragon and Green Bull became admirals made the front pages of many newspapers.
The newspapers that published the relevant news almost sold out, and the incident caused a huge sensation and heated discussion in the Grand Line and around the world.
Although there are already two navy officers these days, the value and influence of the government's "Navy Headquarters Admiral" has begun to decline.
But no matter what, these are naval admirals, the highest combat power of the world government.
As long as the world government has not collapsed, every general will be a very important figure, affecting the maritime pattern.
However, this event only made headlines for one day.
Because, another big thing happened.
…………
Windless Belt, Amazon Lily Kingdom.
Ever since the Empress defeated the Beast Pirates and returned victorious, this island in the windless zone has been in a state of carnival.
Every household was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and various celebrations were held in the streets and alleys to celebrate this hard-won glorious victory.
The feud between the Empress and the Beast Kaido has been going on for a long time, and the residents of the kingdom all know about it.
If it hadn't been for the restraint of the Beasts Pirates in recent years, the Nine Snakes Pirates would have become emperor long ago.
Now that Nine Snakes' biggest enemy has fallen, the residents of the island, regardless of age or sex, are enthusiastically participating in the celebrations.
After defeating the Four Emperors Kaido, the Empress' personal reputation and authority as the emperor of the Amazon Lily Kingdom reached its highest peak.
But at this peak moment, she suddenly announced something - abdication!
As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.
The royal palace of the Amazon Lily Kingdom is located in the center of the city, surrounded by green plants and fences, with numerous rockery sculptures and the main building, the Gorgon Hall, with its carved beams and painted buildings. It is elegantly decorated, magnificent and full of the style of oriental classical garden architecture.
At this time, the lights in the splendid hall were bright, but the atmosphere was solemn.
The Golden Emperor, Sanmei, Eniro, Platycodon, and Gentian and other members of the Nine Snakes Pirates were standing on both sides of the hall.
In addition, the former emperor of Amazon Lily, Gloriousa, known as "Grandma New", is also there.
Everyone was looking at the two women in the center of the hall and the ongoing "Emperor's Coronation" ceremony. Their expressions were complicated and their feelings were hard to understand.
The empress was wearing a simple and elegant white dress today, with her hair naturally disheveled, and no makeup on her face. She looked a little less domineering and majestic, and a little more calm and peaceful.
She held a gorgeous crown made of gold in her hands and inlaid with many jewels and diamonds. She walked steadily with her long snow-white legs and walked up to her half-bowed sister Poya Sundasonia and put it on for her with her own hands.
Get the crown.
Then, the empress grabbed her sister's hand, straightened her upright, and declared:
"Boya Sandasonia, from this moment on, you are the emperor of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, the queen of Sky Island's Kingdom of Gods, and the captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates...
I hope you can work hard and continue the glory of the kingdom!"
The cold, solemn voice spread throughout the hall, carrying an undeniable majesty.
The Golden Emperor Tezoro, Third Sister, Enilu, Gendan, Granny New and others did not cheer, but were silent.
The palace band began to play music, and the impassioned and soul-shaking orchestral music resounded throughout the hall. In this majestic music, the throne changed, and the reign of a generation of empresses slowly came to an end.
The supreme power of Amazon Lily was officially handed over to Boya Sandasonia.
"elder sister……"
After being crowned emperor, there was no joy on the second sister's face. Tears fell from her face, and her eyes were full of sadness and reluctance.
The royal family has been the most ruthless since ancient times.
Around the throne of the emperor, it is normal for fathers and sons to fight each other, and brothers to turn against each other.
However, the "Three Gorgon Sisters" are very emotional. For the three of them, it really doesn't make much difference who becomes the emperor of Amazon Lily.
The second sister and the third sister all support their elder sister sincerely. If nothing happens, the empress can sit on the throne peacefully for the rest of her life.
The empress's early abdication can only mean one thing - she is leaving.
Although it is not death, it is also farewell.
"Okay, Sandasonia, don't cry in despair, you are already the queen of this country, you can't be so fragile."
The empress reached out to wipe away the tears on her sister's face, her movements were gentle, and there was reluctance and nostalgia in her eyes, but this emotion was quickly extinguished by her force and buried deep in her heart.
She is a sister, a generation of empress, the queen of the air islands and the empress of the sea. She will never show her weak side in front of others.
The empress helped her sister to sit on the throne, looked back at the people in the hall with uncertain expressions, and said with indifference in her clear ice blue pupils:
"What are you doing standing still? You haven't met the new emperor yet."
"My lord, meet the Queen!" xN!
Gil Tezzolo, Gloriousa, Third Sister, Enel and War Ghost Wapa all knelt on one knee and saluted.
No matter what they felt in their hearts, the matter was a foregone conclusion and they had no way to interfere.
Once the empress made up her mind to do something, no one could dissuade her, not even her two younger sisters.
After the coronation ceremony of the new emperor was over, everyone left the Gorgon Hall with deep thoughts.
As soon as he arrived outside the palace, Enelu couldn't help it anymore and said with an irritated look:
"I really don't understand why she abdicated and why she left. She is still so young and has plenty of time to rule this country!"
"She said a few years ago that she was going to leave and never come back."
Gilder Tezzolo sighed.
He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow. He seemed a little tired. The excitement and joy of defeating the Beast Pirates some time ago were gone.
"I thought she was just joking at that time! But..." Enelu was very irritable and stamped her feet angrily.
"Look at it, I know you admire her a little, and who of the men below doesn't?"
It was rare that War Ghost Wapa did not quarrel with his old enemy Enelu. He reached out and patted his shoulder and said, "Although Boya Sandasonia is not as good as her sister, she is still very good. There is no problem in being an emperor."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Having said that, he seemed to be equally uninterested.
"I know, it's just..."
Enilu's eyes were a little sad, he lowered his head and hurried on, and stopped talking.
He never expected to climb into the empress's bed, but he was used to her sitting on the throne, her domineering and powerful giving orders, and her invincible demeanor on the battlefield...
If the empress simply abdicates, it really doesn't matter who among the three Gorgon sisters becomes emperor.
But this time she is... farewell.
"For a while, I quite hated her."
The Golden Emperor Gil Tezolo suddenly spoke. Seeing Eniro and Wapa looking over, he laughed dumbly and said, "I can't forget the feeling of her grabbing my neck and stuffing it into the bucket. I kept repeating it.
I was on the verge of drowning more than a dozen times before I gave up.
She is right, people are actually cheap, and only when you feel the same pain personally can you know that it is not easy for others to live."
Everyone: "..."
Why are you saying this suddenly?
Seeing everyone's confused faces, Gil Tezzolo suddenly shook his head:
"I mean, she may have her own difficulties and reasons for leaving.
If you really love her and are loyal to her, put away those little thoughts in your heart and protect the inheritance she left behind.
There is no doubt that she has devoted countless efforts to this country and placed her feelings and ideals on it.
This is the last thing she left to us."
Enelu: "..."
Wapa: "..."
Gentian: "..."
The rest: "..."
Outside the hall, there was silence.
Enelu came back to his senses, curled his lips and said, "I never expected that these words would come from the mouth of a greedy old money man like you."
Tezzoro held the golden scepter in his hand, shook his head, and strode away straight away.
"You don't understand, no matter how much gold Bailey you have, what's the matter? No matter how much money you spend, you can't get back the most cherished thing you have lost.
Young people, savor this kind of loss. Whether it is for her or you, this is the only way to grow up."
The man's somewhat low-pitched words floated in the wind, a bit free and easy, a bit vicissitudes of life, ups and downs, and a self-awareness of warmth and coldness.
Even though he became the richest man in the world, his heart was still empty. This mountain of wealth could not restore the lost soul, leaving only nothingness.
This is a warning from a lonely middle-aged uncle.
Enelu glanced back at the empty hall. He could not see the familiar figure who usually sat on the throne and watched them leave. He turned back and looked at the bustling, gorgeous, crowded and noisy city below the steps.
