Half a month later, Ginny finally stood before Blake.
Ginny was different from the others; she truly dared to resist, so Blake did not have her shackles removed.
Blake looked at Ginny with a half-smile, teasing her:
"How is it? Returning to Mary Geoise again, do you feel any different?"
"How do you know?"
Ginny's eyes widened.
Judging by Blake's age, he shouldn't have experienced the God Valley incident.
Even those who did experience the events back then might not recognize her after so many years.
Whether it was the God Valley incident or the Mary Geoise arson, there were many young people present.
After they grew up, the World Government never recognized them.
"See, you're focusing on the wrong thing."
Blake leaned back, closing his eyes in the lounge chair:
"Shouldn't your main concern right now be why I brought you back?"
Ginny was stunned, then her angry expression returned as she asked:
"Why did you capture me?"
Blake was speechless; why did Ginny seem a bit slow?
A malicious smile appeared on his face:
"Want to know? I'm not telling you."
Before Ginny could get angry again, Blake continued:
"None of that matters. From now on, you are the maid of this manor!"
"How about it? Do you have any fond childhood memories you'd like to share?"
Ginny's childhood was certainly not fond.
She became a Slave at the age of four, until the God Valley incident when she was over ten years old, which allowed her to escape.
After living in the Sorbet Kingdom for a few years, she had just joined the Revolutionary Army for a short time when she was captured again.
Seeing that Ginny still looked somewhat unconvinced, Blake waved his hand, signaling for her to be taken away.
Ginny now possessed a rebellious consciousness; like Kozuki Toki, it was impossible for her to settle down.
However, Blake's expectation for Ginny was only to relay some information to the Revolutionary Army when he needed it, and to help the Sweating King make up his mind... Time flew by in Mary Geoise, and four years passed in a blink.
During these four years, great changes occurred both on the sea and in Blake's own life.
Shanks found Yasopp in the East Blue, and Yasopp began his days of abandoning his wife and child to pursue a life of freedom.
After many years at sea with no news, Usopp and his mother were impoverished.
Looking at it this way, Kaido was truly a good father.
Besides that, two years ago, the thirteen-year-old Rob Lucci began to show his talent.
During a hijacking incident, Lucci single-handedly killed all the hijackers and hostages, completing a successful Russian-style rescue.
Since then, the reputation of the World Government's strongest genius in eight hundred years has grown even louder.
After hearing about Lucci, Law began to train even harder.
He hadn't forgotten that when Blake first found him, Rob Lucci was mentioned as a comparison.
Law was determined not to lose to him under any circumstances.
Kuzan became the second Admiral after Sakazuki, codenamed Aokiji.
Interestingly, in his inauguration speech, he elaborated on many points that directly contradicted Akainu's previous statements, also gaining the support of a large number of Marine.
It could even be said that the Marine who agreed with Aokiji's views far outnumbered the hawkish Marine who followed Akainu.
Akainu was so angry he was fuming below the stage.
Doflamingo and Sengoku were either telepathic or shared similar insights.
In any case, Doflamingo dispatched Vergo to join the Marine, becoming the Donquixote Family's spy within the Marine.
As the Donquixote Family's influence in the North Blue grew, the Marine also couldn't sit still.
Sengoku decided to send his adopted son, Doflamingo's brother Rosinante, back to the Donquixote Family to become the Marine's spy embedded with Doflamingo.
To be honest, Blake didn't like Rosinante.
The saying goes, "Fathers conceal for their sons, and sons conceal for their fathers; righteousness lies therein."
According to traditional values, if a family member commits a crime, the family should help conceal it.
Indeed, from the moral perspective of Blake's previous life, shielding was not encouraged.
But one shouldn't use a relative's trust to conduct undercover work either.
Doflamingo was truly miserable; when he found out Rosinante was a spy, it's hard to imagine his mental state.
After several absurd actions by his relatives, it's not surprising at all that Doflamingo later became a deranged villain.
Although this kid wasn't a good person even when he was young.
Rebecca, who should have been born a year ago, had been completely flapped away by Blake, this big butterfly.
Kyros was still pedaling in the lowest level of the sanctuary, having not seen the sun for several years.
Let alone his strength, even his eyesight was almost gone.
After Scarlett came of age, Blake naturally took her into his chambers, and she had no intention of getting pregnant.
Besides these events on the sea, many changes also occurred in Blake's manor.
With Blake's help, Mandy successfully entered the realm of a Great Swordsman.
Her strength was in no way inferior to Whitebeard's division commander, Vista.
Originally, Blake had planned to send her back to the Warburg Kingdom to establish an external stronghold once she had grown stronger.
However, it was delayed for various reasons.
Now, Mandy was unwilling to leave Blake's side.
After a moment of thought, Blake agreed.
However, he sent someone to contact the King of the Warburg Kingdom, who was Mandy's father.
After Mandy communicated with him, a stronghold was still built in the Warburg Kingdom, and it has now become the main activity area for Aramaki and others.
Koala's strength grew stronger and stronger; she should now be able to reach the level of a watered-down Kizaru.
The fifteen-year-old Robin became more and more graceful, her appearance not much different from her original counterpart.
Although Perona was ten years old, she still acted like an ungrowing child, providing Blake with much amusement every day.
Rami successfully overcame her calamity; under the research of the Victor couple, her lead rot disease was stabilized.
The biggest changes should be with Kozuki Toki, Kozuki Hiyori, Ginny, and Hancock.
When she first arrived at Mary Geoise, Hiyori was just a six-year-old child.
Her adaptability was strong, and in these past few years, she had completely adjusted to life in Blake's manor.
Although she couldn't completely forget the deaths of her father and brother, she had no thoughts of enduring hardship for revenge and had integrated into her current environment.
Seeing her daughter become brighter day by day, Kozuki Toki gradually regained her sanity and was no longer muddled.
For her, the initial blow must have been even greater, but these past few years had also made her gradually begin to accept her fate.
If one cannot resist fate, one can only enjoy it; Kozuki Toki had developed a resigned attitude.
As for Ginny?
The members of the Revolutionary Army had incredibly firm wills; she was clearly pretending.
Every day, she followed behind Blake, acting like a maid, even taking over many of Stella's tasks.
She thought she was doing a great job, but in reality, she had no talent for acting.
Let alone Blake, even Perona had her suspicions.
As for Hancock... she had become Blake's most satisfying creation to date.
