With the crew's expectations, Hancock released the Conqueror's Haki in mid-air, preparing to clean up some soldiers. This caused the crew behind her to cheer again.
"Long live the Empress."
"I like the Empress so much."
Then he landed beautifully on the bow of the Voyager. Then he stood with his feet apart, tilted his head back, put one hand on his waist, stretched one hand forward, and pointed his index finger downward.
"How dare you invade Amazon Lily. It is your honor to die in my hands this time!"
It's so embarrassing. Why can everyone in One Piece do such an embarrassing action so naturally? The head is tilted back to the back of the neck.
In the live version, people who just watched it had the urge to tap their toes on the ground. Noah looked at Rayleigh and asked, "Why don't you tell me something?"
"Ahem, little Hancock, it's me, Rayleigh, and next to me is Noah from the Revolutionary Army, the one who saved you."
Gah—Noah could feel Hancock in front of him completely stiffened.
Well, that's understandable. At this time, it's embarrassing to do anything.
Time passed by minute by minute, this can't go on.
"Well, how about we sit down and talk? Hancock, go talk to your crew to avoid any misunderstandings."
call out!
A red figure jumped back to the ship of Nine Snake Island at a speed beyond the limit, and even sprained her ankle when she landed. In the early stage, the empress still had a certain sense of shame when posing, and she was not as rude as she was in the later stage when she killed people indiscriminately regardless of the occasion.
Damn it, how could I run into Uncle Rayleigh and Lord Noah in such an occasion? I am so out of control. Hancock's heart is like a violent stickman, madly beating a monster called embarrassment.
"Sister, what's wrong!"
Marigold hurried forward to support Hancock who was about to fall.
"Lady Empress, what's wrong? Is the enemy very powerful?"
The crew members were all worried when they saw Hancock, who was a little flustered and embarrassed. How could someone let such a beautiful woman get hurt? Then they were filled with murderous intent. We were going to kill the guy who made His Majesty so sad.
Hancock suppressed her shame and stood firm.
"Don't make a fuss. He is my friend. You all wait here and I will send someone to tell my mother-in-law that Nine Snake Island will hold a grand banquet tonight, the grandest one.
Sandasonia, Marigold came with me to discuss the matter concerning Gorgon."
The two sisters looked at each other, somewhat worried. No matter who was involved in that incident, it would be a very troublesome matter.
It is understandable that Hancock did not let others pass. Those past events really should not be known to people. The king of a country was once a slave, and not everyone has the courage to tear open his scars for everyone to see.
After changing to a small boat, the three of them sailed towards the Voyager together.
"elder sister……"
"No need to say more, the people on the boat are benefactors, you can rest assured."
"Then why were you so flustered just now, sister?"
Even if it was her own sister Hancock, she didn't want to talk about that socially fatal moment.
"Nothing, just a little excited."
"That……"
Sandasonia wanted to ask more but was stopped by her other sister. Now Hancock didn't want to talk about it, so there was no need to ask. Didn't you see that her sister was clenching her fists?
The boat soon reached the Voyager. Hancock was a little reluctant to get on board. It would be great if an enemy came at this time.
After gritting his teeth, he took his sisters upstairs.
"Mr. Rayleigh, and Lord Noah. Hello."
Looking at her benefactor, Hancock returned to normal after getting rid of the shame a little.
The two sisters were also very excited. It had been four years since they came out of that hell. Their gratitude towards Noah was growing day by day. Especially after they knew that Noah had killed a celestial dragon, they had an even more worshipful mood.
"Um, you don't have to call me Sir. We don't talk about that in the Revolutionary Army. Just call me Mr. Noah."
This made Hancock a little embarrassed, as she just wanted to express her highest respect to her benefactor.
"Okay, it's just a question of address. Just listen to what Noah has to say."
Rayleigh tried to smooth things over with a smile. Whenever he was with this guy, he had never been in the center. The era of One Piece is completely over. How sad.
"Okay, Mr. Noah." Hancock didn't want to embarrass his benefactor by calling him.
"We haven't seen each other for many years. It is our honor to have you come to Nine Snake Island. Tonight, we will definitely receive you with the highest etiquette."
Noah couldn't refuse this. In the world of One Piece, holding a party means a lot. It means that you are their friend, and it is basically not something that can be refused.
Although he would feel uncomfortable attending a party filled with only women, since he was there, he had to adapt to the local customs. Besides, he was feeling uncomfortable with an old man accompanying him.
Wait, why does old guy Rayleigh still look so expectant? I forgot, this guy played a lot of games on the sea back then. I need to discuss this matter with Sister Xia Qi when we settle the bill.
"Hancock, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
You can tell at a glance that he wants to say something but stops himself, and you can even tell what he wants to say.
Hancock mustered up the courage to speak.
"Mr. Noah, could you please not tell anyone about Marijoa's situation? We are really, really scared..."
Even if Oda's description of the most beautiful woman is not entirely accurate, it does make sense.
"What happened to Marijoa? I didn't see you there."
It was still a gentle tone, but it made the three little girls who were under great pressure burst into tears.
Chapter 272 Rayleigh Saves His Respect
Nine Snake Island is located in the doldrums and is a relatively closed island. Most of the information here and the outside world is obtained by the pirate groups going out to plunder.
They have a unique cultural heritage, systematic methods of practicing domineering power, and they advocate primitive power.
The setting is somewhat similar to the Amazon warriors in ancient Greek mythology.
When we were on the boat before, several people chatted for a while about the changes in our lives over the all, some content has reached the island, and it is inconvenient to say it in front of the people of Daughter Country.
After Marijoa was liberated, how Rayleigh helped them return to Amazon Lily, how Hancock and others came out of their fear, how they ascended the throne, and how they fabricated the lie about Gorgon.
These words had been weighing on their minds for a long time. Reilly and Noah, who came this time, were insiders, so there was nothing to hide and they told their experiences freely.
Through the conversation, Noah could see that Hancock had not gotten out of her fear, but was just using lies and arrogance to cover up her inner feelings. It was strange that such a person could awaken the Conqueror's Haki.
This was a bit beyond my expectations. I thought that only those who followed their hearts and had the qualifications could awaken. Could it be that Nine Snake Island had another way, or was Hancock's qualifications too good?
I have felt her domineering Haki before, it was just ordinary mental pressure, and the domineering feeling was a bit weak inside. Noah has a say in this area. Not to mention his own, even Rossinante's newly awakened domineering Haki was more condensed than hers.
Among the future Shichibukai, she is clearly in the second tier, whether it is her performance in the top war or in the movie. She relies more on physical skills and fruit abilities.
If she could really rely on herself to overcome her inner demons, her dominance might reach a new level. If not, her strength would basically stop there.
At the same time, they also listened to Noah's story about how he went to the Red Earth Continent for the second time after liberating Marijoa, and how he chopped off the heads of the Celestial Dragons in the East China Sea.
Those who witnessed these stories recounted the unknown behind-the-scenes stories on the spot, and even old man Reilly, who claimed to have seen many storms, was fascinated by them.
"So that's what a celestial dragon looks like when his head is chopped off."
Hancock said in a complicated tone.
"Yeah, it was just a casual sword move. This time, the one I chopped off was a square bubble head. I wonder if there is any significance to it. By the way, Lao Lei, you have been on the sea for so long, and you are the right arm of the Pirate King. Do you know what the difference is?"
Everyone looked at Lao Lei, who was eating melons, with inquiring eyes.
Rayleigh was at a loss. Why are you cueing me at this time? You are fighting Mary Geoise and killing the Celestial Dragons. What should I say to make people feel that I am also in the high-end game? I am a little panicked.
Valley of the Gods? I can’t say that.
"Ahem, the Celestial Dragon's bubble is not important. It's just like when I coat the ship, any shape is fine, but a round shape is the most suitable."
Rayleigh tried to save his reputation. Everyone expressed their admiration, saying that Rayleigh was indeed a famous craftsman in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Finally, they chatted until it was almost dark, and then they remembered to go to the island to attend the banquet. Noah was going back to the cabin to change into the skin of Kenshin Himura, so as not to cause trouble for Nine Snake Island.
After learning about this, Hancock said that Mr. Noah need not worry. The location of their Nine Snake Island and the way to go out to sea make this place very closed, and ordinary people will not monitor it.
Moreover, the citizens here have all grown up here, and basically they can't plant any spies.
Noah thought so too. When Luffy was stranded in Amazon Lily, he caused such a big fuss, but the World Government didn't know about it and even sent the Mole to recruit the Empress to go to Marineford to participate in the Battle of Marineford, so he gave up on approving the vests.
This time, Noah and Rayleigh set foot on this land where men are not allowed to enter. There was no dissatisfaction, because this was the order of their most beautiful king, Boa Hancock.
With her powerful strength and peerless beauty, Boa Hancock is the most authoritative emperor of Nine Snake Island.
When they arrived, the banquet was ready. Hancock led the way and took Noah and the others to the banquet hall.
Along the way, Noah really felt the treatment of his brother. Wu Chengen's words: Beautiful girls are calling for men all over the road, and young women are waiting for their lovers in the streets. There is some truth in it.
I really don’t know what kind of imagination can write such an appropriate sentence. I’m impressed.
Although Rayleigh also showed the charm of a handsome middle-aged uncle, unfortunately, in the eyes of most Amazons, Noah is still the most delicious and tender.
The banquet hall was crowded with people, all of whom came to broaden their horizons. Fortunately, the rules here were strict and Hancock's authority still suppressed these restless women.
Grandma Zha led the national defense captain Kikyo and others to line up here to welcome them. As it was the king's order, they had to carry it out 100%.
The soldier who delivered the order said that the king wanted the most grand and noble banquet to welcome his friends, so this request must be implemented immediately.
At the same time, Granny Zha was thinking about who Hancock could call a friend. She knew the life stories of the three Gorgon sisters very well, and the only time they had contact with the outside world was during that period of time that could not be mentioned.
Could it be Rayleigh and Shaqi who are here? That's possible. It can't be the Revolutionary Army...
Um, are my eyes blurry? Is the person walking behind Hancock the enemy of the world, Noah? !
At this moment, Granny Zha's heart was like a landslide and a tsunami. Even though Rayleigh had come, she didn't even look at him. She just stared at Noah. What should she do? Nine Snake Island couldn't withstand such strong winds and waves.
The older you get, the more you can understand the horror of the world her opinion, perhaps Noah and the others seem to have the upper hand in the news, causing the world government to repeatedly deflate.
But the monster called the world has not yet exerted its full strength. Rocks was so arrogant back then, but he was also wiped out physically and historically.
What is the difference between Noah and Rocks at this moment?
Hancock and the others also noticed this look, which made her very dissatisfied. This old woman!
"Guroliosa! How disrespectful! How can you look at my distinguished guest like that?"
"I overstepped."
The old woman hesitated to speak, but she still didn't say anything to spoil the fun before the party.
The banquet on Nine Snake Island was a very formal and ancient banquet, different from the popular pirate banquets nowadays, and not so unrestrained. In fact, this kind of banquet was more acceptable to Noah.
A group of people are toasting each other in a warm atmosphere. It's hard for a man to just ignore those curious eyes coming from all directions.
Chapter 273: Weak people cannot participate in war
"Mr. Noah, why did you come to Nine Snake Island this time?"
The day after the banquet, Grandma Zha asked out of curiosity, and Hancock also looked over.
The former king was really worried that Noah's coming this time would lead to destruction, so he changed the way of asking. If Noah dared to say that everything was fine, then she would go in the direction of everything being fine, so that Noah would not have the opportunity to say it later.
This kind of thinking is understandable, and from the perspective of an ordinary king, it is quite correct.
"Well, it's mainly to communicate with Nine Snake Island on behalf of the Revolutionary Army and establish some connections."
This is also true. No one can form an alliance right away. Of course, one must first get to know each other, then communicate, and share interests, only then can a more reliable alliance relationship be established.
He was only indebted to the king now, and it was not something he could openly express. Besides, repaying a favor usually ended badly.
"That's it?"
"That's all!"
The conversation between Grandma Zha and Noah had already made Hancock extremely angry. How could you speak to your benefactor in that way?
"Guroliosa!"
With a roar of anger, he threw the old woman out of the window.
"Mr. Noah, what the old woman said just now cannot represent Amazon Lily. You can just tell me what you want."
"It's okay. I understand her worries. After all, the title of the world's enemy is hard not to worry about the ruler of a country. It's okay to clear up the misunderstanding.
