Looking at Kaya, an elegant and fair noble lady, Nami, the little thief cat, and Nojiko, the orange farmer, they indeed felt a slight inferiority.
“I... I am Nami, from Coco Yashi Village in Conomi Province.”
“This is my sister, Nojiko.”
“We are talents recruited by King Wang Shi.”
Nami, who often went out to sea, showed the boldness of a pirate, suppressing the slight inferiority in her heart, and revealed a proud look of being valued by Wang Shi.
She was the ‘Nami Two-Guns’ of Coco Yashi Village, and the ‘Fishman Double Slayer’ who had close contact with Wang Shi!
“Hello, Miss Kaya, I am Nojiko.”
Nojiko, with her dark skin, looked at the polite Kaya and showed an enthusiastic expression.
Thinking of Wang Shi’s embrace, Nojiko also became confident.
She, Nojiko One-Gun, would definitely not be worse than anyone else!
“Are you also ladies-in-waiting recruited by King Wang Shi for Queen Sally?”
Kaya’s eyes lit up; perhaps these two sisters would be her future colleagues.
“Queen Sally’s ladies-in-waiting?”
“We are not, we are talents directly recruited by King Wang Shi!”
Nami answered directly. Wang Shi had said that he valued Nami’s navigation talent and intended to train Nami to become the Chief Navigator of the Goa Empire, accompanying Wang Shi on diplomatic missions to Allied Nations around the world.
Thinking of being able to safely sail around the world and draw her own sea charts, Nami was incredibly excited.
Most importantly, hearing the title of Chief Navigator, Nami felt that the salary would definitely not be low.
This way, she could both earn money and fulfill her dream.
This job was simply too perfect.
“Talents? What are you good at?”
Kaya was a little disappointed. These two girls could actually follow Wang Shi, while she seemed to be following Queen Sally.
“I am a navigation genius proficient in navigation, the future Chief Navigator of the Goa Empire.”
“And my sister, Nojiko, is King Wang Shi’s Chief Nutritionist and Cultivation Gardener.”
Nami’s eyes slyly darted, determined to suppress Kaya’s ‘noble arrogance’.
When out and about, titles are self-proclaimed.
Nojiko stared at Nami with wide eyes.
This bragging was too much!
What Chief Nutritionist and gardener? She didn't know about that.
She was just a fruit farmer who was good at growing oranges and some flowers and plants.
“You are so amazing~”
“I only know a little about medicine.”
Kaya was immediately intimidated when she heard the titles of Chief Navigator and Chief Nutritionist.
She really didn't expect that these two girls, who looked like village girls, would have such great abilities.
No wonder they could be recruited by Wang Shi.
Now it was Kaya’s turn to feel a little inferior to this little rich woman.
Could her medical skills truly impress King Wang Shi and Queen Sally?
Under the guidance of the Royal Guard, the three women successfully entered the imperial palace’s office area.
Wang Shi had already instructed the Royal Guard about these three girls.
So, there were no difficulties or contemptuous incidents.
In the Emperor’s office hall.
Wang Shi was looking at the information on various pirate groups and forces in the East Blue.
As for the ordinary government affairs, they were, of course, left to Queen Sally and the noble officials to handle.
Wang Shi’s main task was to cultivate and become stronger, as well as to enhance the military power of the Goa Empire.
“The Isshin Dojo in Shimotsuki Village of Moonlight Province must send swordsmanship talents to the Goa Empire.”
“Zoro goes without saying; he will grow into a great swordsman in a few years.”
“Isn’t it just challenging the world’s greatest swordsman? Following me, are you afraid of not having masters to fight?”
“This white-haired Saka is also good. In the original timeline, he lost an arm to save Zoro, and later went to Asuka Island to obtain the Shichiseiken.”
“His strength to save Zoro suggests his talent won't be too bad.”
“Cultivate him well.”
“Also, the Baratie, a sea restaurant doing business in the waters of Sasbas Kingdom.”
“Have someone invite them in the name of the Goa Empire to do business in Goa waters. Anyway, where they do business doesn't matter.”
“Red-Leg Zeff, Vinsmoke’s third son, Sanji...”
“It might be possible to stimulate Judge and attract Reiju’s attention.”
Wang Shi looked at the data. Currently, within the Goa Empire, there were still pirate groups such as the Alvida Pirates, Buggy Pirates, and Edradgo Pirates.
It was time to free up his hands and clear them out.
However, Clockwork Island, occupied by the Poker Pirates, was actually within the Sasbas Kingdom.
But crossing the border to capture pirates, Wang Shi assumed the Sasbas Kingdom wouldn't dare to grumble.
Wang Shi tapped on the desk, thinking about his next plan.
Dealing with King Ba Dodshinei of the Flaus Kingdom was not urgent.
This guy was still employing the Germa 66 army and had been restless, but he just didn't dare to make the first move.
So Wang Shi would first capture those pirates.
For pirates willing to surrender, Wang Shi wouldn't mind notifying Marineford to revoke their bounties.
Otherwise, they could only become Wang Shi’s pirate slaves, charging into battle for Wang Shi until death.
As Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya entered Wang Shi’s domain, he noticed these girls.
“I didn’t expect them to arrive so quickly!”
Wang Shi smiled slightly. It only took about ten days for Kaya to recover from her illness, and for Nami and Nojiko to handle matters in their village and report for duty.
And they coincidentally ran into each other.
As the three women entered the magnificent palace.
Even though Nami had found a bit of confidence in front of Kaya, she still felt a little nervous when facing Wang Shi.
Nojiko and Kaya were also incredibly tense.
After all, this Emperor was the King of Exile who had conquered four kingdoms.
“No need to be nervous.”
“From now on, you will be female officials of the Goa Empire.”
Wang Shi said with a gentle smile, and this mild tone immediately made the three women relax a little.
“Nami, next you will go and study with the court navigator to familiarize yourself with the East Blue and world maps and routes.”
“The next time we set sail, you will depart with the ship.”
“Nojiko, from now on, you will be the Nutritionist and Vegetable and Fruit Cultivator for my 【Exile Emperor】.”
I plan to transplant some oranges and fruits and vegetables onto my ship, and you will be responsible for taking care of them from now on.”
“As for Kaya, you will first study with the court physician.”
Based on your learning progress, we will decide whether you accompany Queen Sally or depart with the ship.”
Wang Shi efficiently arranged the matters for the three women, without wasting any time.
Currently, the girls still needed some training to meet Wang Shi’s expectations.
Right now, the three women were flat, dark, and weak, simply not suitable for his purposes.
“Yes...”
The three women came and left quickly. They hadn't expected to be entrusted with important tasks so soon.
However, Wang Shi’s clean and decisive commands, along with his mix of domineering and gentle demeanor, were indeed captivating.
On the road outside the palace.
“Kaya, you can work hard, otherwise you might not even be able to set sail with the ship and go on missions around the world!”
Nami was very happy; Wang Shi really hadn't lied, he had arranged them exactly as he said that day.
Nojiko, hearing that she had indeed obtained the positions of Nutritionist and Cultivator, finally felt relieved and became even more confident.
“I will work hard.”
Kaya clenched her fists, encouraging herself.
Compared to staying in the palace with Queen Sally, she preferred to go out to sea and travel.
She really wanted to see the islands and exciting adventures Usopp boasted about.
