Hancock woke up from the unspeakable sadness, suddenly opened his beautiful eyes, and sat up straight.
“Qiao——”
She turned her head blankly when she saw the familiar snake pattern curtain in front of her.
Through the gauze covering the bedside, you can see the layout of your bedroom… Is this the Nine Snakes Palace?
Am I back?
Is it just a nightmare…
Tears filled Hancock’s eyes as the previous scenes flashed rapidly in his mind.
“Lynch…”
……
The twenty-meter-tall golden Buddha has thousands of golden lights on its head…
The lava giant looks like hell…
A frozen siege hundreds of meters high…
Deadly flash…
Palm impact…
The burning smoke…
A bone-chilling chill…
And the eyes he looked at me… Why should I be so useless! Never resisted his hypnosis? !
“No… don’t…” His body walked uncontrollably towards the phone bug castle in his hand.
I don’t want to hide in it at all. If I die, I will die together. Why are you doing this to me? !
“You…bastard…” I was deeply sleepy aroused by the hypnosis. Before I lost consciousness, I vaguely heard his voice, “No way, Hancock, you are too charming, I’m afraid I can’t I refuse you…”
What kind of explanation is this? !
Lynch, you bastard…
Before the consciousness finally fell into darkness, there was the rough touch of a pair of lip prints…
“Be good, go to sleep.”
……
It was quiet in the Empress’s palace, filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants. Sandasonia’s chest and back were covered with bandages, and she was resting at her desk. Suddenly she opened her eyes, and she vaguely heard a low sob.
“Sister…” She reacted and immediately jumped up and ran to the bed in the palace. Through the curtain, she could see the slim figure sitting up on the bed, “Sister! Are you awake?”
Sanda opened the curtain, revealing the empress on the bed, and the entire palace seemed to be much brighter.
Hancock turned his head, covered his face with his long hair, and wiped his face.
“Sister…” Sanda leaned over and sat on the edge of the bed.
She saw her sister turn her head. Her long, black and smooth hair looked a little messy. Wiped tears could be seen on her previously gorgeous cheeks, and her face was a little pale.
The look in Hancock’s eyes was gloomy, poignant and moving. He looked at Sanda blankly, his red lips trembled a few times, as if he had something to say, wanted to ask, wanted to confirm, but he couldn’t speak.
“Sister…” Sanda saw her usually strong and domineering sister showing such a weak and helpless look, and her heart ached, but she still reluctantly looked into her sister’s absent-minded eyes and said softly: “Lin Qi After the ghost brought us back to Nine Snakes, you were still in a coma. Princess Robin said that you were slumbering because of Lynch’s hypnosis… It’s been two days, sister, you finally woke up. ”
“Two days…”
Hancock muttered to himself and sat blankly on the bed.
Seeing her sister like this, Sanda hesitated to speak, but found that she couldn’t even bear to say a word of comfort.
Unless Lynch stands in front of her again, any words of comfort will only sound harsh in her ears…
After an unknown amount of time, Hancock lifted up the soft quilt and swayed slightly. Sanda wanted to help him, but she pushed him away.
Hancock wore his black hair and sat barefoot on the edge of the bed. He raised his still pale face, but his eyes were completely different from before, showing a firmness.
“Where is she?” Hancock stood up and put on the red coat handed by Sanda.
“Who?” Sanda was startled for a moment, then came to his senses, “Princess Robin? Princess, she…”
Hancock paused barefoot and looked back.
Sanda whispered: “Sister, you have been sleeping these past two days. The princess has not been eating or drinking, or even talking to anyone. Her state is very worrying…”
Hancock bit his lip and said, “Take me to her.”
“Sister, you have to eat something first…” Sanda advised.
“Take me to her,” Hancock repeated.
Her tone was not serious, but Sanda, who was familiar with her, knew that her sister could not hear any sound at this time, so she could only sigh secretly and take Hancock to find Robin.
Along the way, I met many soldiers who protected the country and members of the pirate group… When everyone saw Hancock, they immediately exclaimed.
“Sir Sheji is awake!”
“The Empress looks so haggard…my heart is going to break!”
The women of Nine Snakes hugged each other and cried, giving way one after another.
Hancock had an expressionless face and turned a deaf ear to these noises. He quickly followed Sanda to the side hall where Robin was resting in the Nine Snakes Palace.
In the side hall, Robin sat by the open window, staring blankly at the distant sky, his eyes a little hollow.
Beside her, stood a black armored phantom. At this moment, he turned his head, his narrow eyes glowing, and looked at the two Hancocks who were walking into the hall.
When Marigrud saw the eldest and second sisters coming in, she said in surprise: “Sister, are you awake?”
“…” Hancock grabbed the third sister’s bandaged arm and looked at it. Mary explained: “It’s a little burned, but I’m almost healed.”
Hancock let go of his hand and went to uncover the injury under the bandage behind the second sister’s right shoulder.
“Sister…” Sanda was stunned and comforted, “I applied the herbal medicine, plus I have the recovery power of the phantom beast species, it will be fine.”
Such a trivial thing, sister could have noticed it the first time she looked at me after she woke up, right?
“It’s all because of me…” Robin by the window looked at the sky and suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse and dry. “It was me who harmed everyone…”
Hancock grasped the bandage on Sanda’s back, and quickly released it after he realized what was happening.
Mary looked at Robin in surprise. In the past two days, the princess had been ignoring people as if her heart had died. This was the first time she spoke.
Packing, Sanda felt a drop of warm liquid shatter on the bandage on his back, and said in surprise: “Sister–“
When she and Mary looked over, Hancock had already turned his head and wiped his face. He walked up to Robin and “B.I.B” with red eyes, bit his lip and said, “No, it’s all my fault.”
Robin turned around numbly and saw Hancock’s red eyes and haggard and pale face, and felt a pang in his heart.
“The reason why those four navymen were able to ambush that island accurately must be because our pirate ship exposed its whereabouts,” Hancock trembled and blamed himself, “I didn’t think much about it when we finally returned. I directly ordered the sea snake to go straight into the windless zone… It was because of this that I was so stupid that I jumped into the navy’s trap… It’s all my fault…”
Robin shook his head slowly and murmured to himself: “If it weren’t for me…the navy wouldn’t have been able to deal with two kings, the Shichibukai, like this…”
“B.I.B” looked on and said, “It’s meaningless to say this now. What matters is what happens in the future.” 』
Hancock’s eyes were firm and he gritted his teeth and said, “I’m going to save him!”
“…” Robin had no reaction to this, and just looked at “B.I.B”.
The latter said calmly: “I am willing to sacrifice myself to keep you away from danger. 』
“…” Hancock turned his head and stared at the black armored ghost, with tears and anger appearing in his beautiful eyes, “But I don’t want to!”
“Who agrees that you took it upon yourself to sacrifice for us?! Have you ever thought about our feelings?!” She gritted her teeth and said, “Obviously, all you need to do is send Sanda and Mary away…” Tears fell on the Empress With tears remaining on her cheeks, she looked sadly at the reflection of the man in front of her and said sadly, “Don’t you know… we would rather die with you than watch you alone, you… ”
Robin’s dry eye sockets were also red, he clenched his palms and lowered his head in silence.
“B.I.B” was also silent for a while, and then said: “The main body would rather be hated by you, but also wants you to be safe.” 』
“You fart!” Hancock yelled, wiping away tears, “I don’t want to hear that.”
『People who sacrifice themselves are great, and the feeling of greatness should be good. “The black armor said quietly, “And people who live with endless self-blame and regret are very pitiful. 』
“…” Hancock gritted his teeth, “I don’t need pity.”
“B.I.B” shook his head, “I mean…”
It glanced at Hancock and the tearful Robin, “If it weren’t for me, neither Robin nor Hancock would have to face this desperate situation.” If I fail to protect you two, I will live in endless self-blame and regret for the rest of my life… Isn’t this pitiful? 』
“So you sacrifice yourself without permission?” Hancock’s tears kept rolling down and he forced himself to sneer, “How great.”
“You don’t want to… resent yourself for the rest of your life…” Robin murmured hoarsely, “We don’t want to either…”
“B.I.B” is speechless. This is a dead end. If it cannot protect Hancock and Robin, its main body will blame itself, and it is willing to sacrifice itself to send them away, and they will suffer and regret…
“I don’t care.” Hancock wiped away his tears and said expressionlessly, “Anyway, I’m going to save you. – Where are you now?”
“B.I.B” looked at her in silence.
“If you don’t tell me, I will go directly to the Navy Headquarters.” Hancock looked determined, “In this way, I can see you in person anyway. Can’t you?”
『Go directly to the Navy Headquarters to ask for someone? ” The stand-in armor shook his head, “You are committing suicide. 』
“Then I will go to the Undersea Prison!” Hancock gritted his teeth, “Anyway…you dare to do this to me, I will never settle this debt with you!”
“B.I.B” was silent again. It looked at Hancock’s determined eyes, and then looked down at Robin sitting by the window.
Robin was stunned and murmured: “It’s all because of me…”
“Going to the underwater prison is tantamount to committing suicide.” “The stand-in armor once again denied, “Warden Magellan is a Poison Fruit user. His ability is suspected to have been awakened. The venom he creates can infect anything he touches, including the ground and walls… even Robin. His flower-free clone has no effect in the face of such poison…』
Hancock interrupted, “So what? I don’t care!”
『That kind of extreme poison, if you get even the slightest bit of it, you will definitely die. 』
“B.I.B”‘s narrow eyes shimmered, and his tone was extremely serious, “The risk is too great!” Hancock…the main body has finally managed to protect your safety…』
Looking at Hancock’s indifferent and firm eyes, its tone slowly calmed down and glanced at Robin, “…Robin, what do you think?” 』
Robin raised his head, “What do you want me to think?”
“I don’t want you to be in danger…Now you are beyond redemption. I want to self-destruct…but I know you will definitely stop me.” She said miserably, “Besides, it would be better to die like this than to die unknown to anyone. Dying in front of the navy will at least let them know that the dangerous ‘Devil’s Son’ has really disappeared… If they want to be detrimental to Nine Snakes, they can stop.”
Sanda and Mary felt extremely uncomfortable looking at the lost princess.
Hancock said indifferently: “I’m determined anyway, don’t try to stop me. You can’t stop me, and of course you can’t stop Robin.”
She glared at the shadow hatefully, “It’s like… we couldn’t stop you!”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Robin stood up weakly and was pressed down by the flame-lined palm of “B.I.B”. It sighed silently and said helplessly to Hancock’s back: “Even if you are going to the underwater prison… at least you guys Do you want to rest your body? 』
Hancock held on to the stone pillars in the hall and shouted loudly to the outside: “Where are the people? Get me something to eat!!!”
Sanda and Mary looked worried, then gradually became firm and immediately went out to help prepare food.
Robin’s face was so pale that it looked transparent, with a relieved smile.
……
“Why aren’t we allowed to go there together?!”
Beside the mountains of food on the long table in the main hall, Sanda and Mary were shocked when they heard this, “Sister–“
“If you don’t want to go, you can’t go without a reason.” Hancock didn’t even raise his head, “Robin and I will go to the prison to rescue people, and you two will stay in Nine Snakes.”
She devoured a big meaty leg in a very inconspicuous manner, but she was still very beautiful. The Nine Snake women peeking out of the window could not help but let out sighs one after another…
Robin had no objection to Hancock’s decision, and he also destroyed the piles of food in front of him at the same speed.
『B.I.B』 stood not far away with his arms folded and looked at them. It does not need to eat and cannot eat.
Hancock has always acted arbitrarily in Nine Snakes, and did not give his two sisters any chance to disobey. He turned to look at the black armor, his beautiful cheeks were bulging with a mouth full of food, and asked: “Can you really do it?” Perceive your current position?”
‘It’s too far. “The narrow eyes on the face of the mask shimmered, and it turned to look in the direction of the Red Earth Continent. “I only know that it must be in that direction… but it is far away, and I don’t know the specific location. 』
“As long as you can sense it!” Hancock continued to work hard with Robin, “You can feel it more clearly when you get closer, right…”
Robin said nothing, just ate.
She didn’t eat much. This time she was physically and mentally exhausted and on the verge of collapse. What she needed more was quiet rest and conditioning, so she quickly left the table to rest.
Hancock ate more intently, and he didn’t know if he was imitating someone. He shed tears as he ate, wiped them away and continued eating.
Thonda and Mary sighed, worried.
“B.I.B” silently watched the departing Robin and the eating Hancock, unable to see the worry hidden in his narrow eyes…
It really wasn’t kidding them. Not everyone can break into the underwater prison.
For hundreds of years, only a ruthless man like Golden Lion managed to escape from prison by cutting off his own feet. This is because he, as a prisoner, unexpectedly escaped from the prison from the inside out. If he wanted to sneak into the prison from the outside and escape, the difficulty would rise to another level… There is a high-speed ocean current connecting the underwater prison and the navy headquarters. Once the prison is Once the infiltration is discovered, the Navy Headquarters can send high-level combat forces over at any time.
There is no doubt that Kizaru will arrive as soon as he knows that the people who broke into the prison are Nicole Robin and Hancock!
“B.I.B”‘s eyes flashed with white light, and he flipped through the comic content of the Big Prison Chapter and the War on the Top… It couldn’t be clearer that in the comics, even a “protagonist” like Luffy who has destiny can escape from the Big Prison. Coming out alive is also a fluke among flukes!
The biggest reason is that the main combat power of the Navy Headquarters at that time was involved in the battlefield. Even if Magellan lowered his face and asked for help from the Navy, the Navy would have no time to deal with the prison.
Secondly, Luffy was able to survive after breaking into the prison because he was lucky enough to meet Eva, the Demon King. Otherwise, Luffy would have been poisoned hundreds of times by Magellan’s invincible poison…
But at this time, is the Shemale King in the prison?
‘B.I.B’ is not sure about this at all. Not to mention that the comic did not explain the specific year in which the Demon King was captured and sent to the prison. Even if it was explained, would the Demon King definitely still be arrested? At least the side of the Revolutionary Army, especially the Human Demon King, has had a lot of dealings with him. God knows what kind of butterfly wings he will flap… It doesn’t have to be big, maybe it just needs to cause a butterfly effect, so that the Human Demon King goes out a minute late one day. It is possible to avoid her being caught by the navy!
If the Shemale King is not in the prison now, what will happen if Robin, Hancock, or Little Green are exposed to Magellan’s poison?
The same applies to the main body!
The body does not have a constitution that is invulnerable to all poisons. No matter how powerful it is at swallowing fruit, it may not be completely immune to the terrifying poison of Magellan…
“What are you thinking about?”
Hancock’s voice interrupted “B.I.B”‘s thoughts and dragged it back to reality.
Looking up, it saw her and Robin ready to go.
Two days have passed since they decided to go to the prison to rescue people.
In two days, Robin tried his best to adjust his condition, and his complexion recovered a lot, and he refused to delay any longer.
Not to mention Hancock, she almost couldn’t bear it on the first day, because Robin’s condition looked so bad, so she forced herself to endure it again and again.
There are several newspapers from the past two days on the table. The news recorded is the conflict between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, as well as the aftermath of the previous conflict between the JOJO Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates… Completely There is not even a shred of content about Admiral Sengoku teaming up with three lieutenant generals, Monkey, Chicken and Dog, to ambush the Shichibukai Kujo Xu Lun and the Shichibukai Empress…
Obviously, the outside world knows nothing about this matter.
The Navy did not expose Lynch, whom they captured, to anyone…
Hancock waved his hand in front of its eyes, “Why are you dazed? We’re about to leave!”
“B.I.B” was silent, her eyes slowly moved from the impatient Hancock’s face to Robin’s face next to her. She held the little green in her hand and stroked it slowly. Her face was calm, and she seemed to be ready to accept it. Be prepared for any outcome.
Sanda and Mary looked sad and helpless.
“Sister, my injury is almost healed.” Sanda took off the bandage on his body, and there was only a radiating circular scar left on the skin of the back shoulder blade. “In a while, there won’t even be a scar left.” , let me go with you!”
“Me too -” Mary also said, but was interrupted impatiently by Hancock, “I told you not to come, so you won’t. Don’t you listen to your sister?”
The empress glanced at the two sisters majestically.
Sanda and Mary lowered their heads in grievance, with tears streaming down their faces. Of course they knew how dangerous the underwater prison was, and how there was no way back.
“…” Hancock’s face softened a lot and he said calmly, “Sanda, Mary.”
The two younger sisters raised their heads and wiped the corners of their eyes, and saw the eldest sister saying: “If I can’t come back, you have to organize everyone to elect the next Snake Lady.”
“Sister!” Tears welled up in Sanda and Mary’s eyes again.
“His! His!”
Hancock’s snake hair popped out and stung Sanda and Mary each on their necks as they moved. Their movements suddenly became stiff and motionless.
“You will be back in one hour.”
Hancock turned and left expressionlessly, “That’s it.”
Waving her hand, she strode out of the palace.
“…” Robin walked up to Sanda and Mary, looked at their uncontrollable tears, hugged them gently one by one, turned and left without saying anything.
“B.I.B” took a look at the two Boya sisters whose bodies were unable to move due to the gorgon poison, but with tears streaming down their faces. It was nothing. They turned around and followed Robin’s footsteps, and together they came to the balcony outside the palace. , Hancock is leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, looking at the scenery in Nine Snakes City as before… women are working in the fields, fishing by the river, hunting animals in the mountains, standing sentry on the city walls, and practicing domineering and arrows in the training ground. Technique…
“Let’s go.” Hancock said expressionlessly, turning around and entering the phone bug castle in Robin’s hand.
Robin smiled slightly at “B.I.B” and disappeared out of thin air.
Xiao Lu was slightly startled and fell a few inches before being held up by a mecha palm covered with flame patterns.
“B.I.B” glanced at the prosperous and simple Nine Snakes City, floated up, identified the direction in the sky, followed the vague sense of the direction of the main body, and galloped away.
……
〖Inside the Telephone Bug Castle——〗
Hancock and Robin walked through the living room, bedroom, study room, bathroom, etc., which were full of life. Everything they had experienced here was still vivid in their minds, except that the person who was joking and uninhibited was missing.
They sat on the sofa, looking at each other in silence.
For a long time, Robin broke the weird silence and said, “It’s rare that you have time. Do you want to listen?”
“Listen to what?” Hancock asked.
“It’s not Kujo Xu Lun, nor Giovanna Giorno…”
Robin murmured to himself, lying on the back of the sofa, looking at the ceiling of the castle that he and Lynch had seen many times on the sofa, “It’s Nicole Robin, and Lynch, Before meeting Boya Hancock, and the story after that…”
Hancock said nothing, just looked at her. Robin didn’t really listen to her answer and kept talking to himself:
“I was born in O’Hara, West China Sea, my mother…”
“The Navy launched the Demon-Slaying Order, destroying O’Hara and everyone except me…”
“That day, I met him on South Chicago Island…he climbed out from under the garbage dump and saw the first words I said…”
……
“After returning to his hometown of Flower Country… we learned about his mother’s past…”
“Lily, she…”
Hancock finished telling Robin’s stories quietly without saying a word.
Robin couldn’t remember where she had said it and stopped. She stood up from the sofa, looked at the castle door, and whispered: “Aren’t you here yet?”
She walked over and quickly said something in surprise. She seemed to be communicating with the “B.I.B” who was flying with the castle phone bug from the outside world.
Hancock came back to his senses, looked towards Robin, frowned slightly, “What’s wrong?” He followed, and slowly heard what Robin was saying to “B.I.B” outside.
“What’s wrong?” Hancock wondered, bypassing Robin, and jumped out from the castle portal.
BIU, she suddenly appeared at high altitude. The moment she fell, she was caught by an invisible ghost hand and held up in the air.
“Where’s the big prison? Why didn’t you see it?”
Hancock looked around and saw no trace of any offshore structures, not even an island.
“That’s not right…”
His hair was blowing on his face, Hancock’s expression changed, and he stared at the undulating waves around him, “Isn’t this a windless zone? You–“
Although she didn’t know the specific location of the big prison, she knew that it was definitely in the windless zone!
And this sea area is obviously windy, is it the Grand Line?
Behind the castle portal, Robin looked at “B.I.B” steadily.
When she poked her head out of the castle portal to watch, it had already maintained this action, hovering over the sea for a long time.
Obviously, it is carefully distinguishing the location of its body at the moment.
“B.I.B” is holding Hancock in one hand and the Phone Bug Castle in the other. Its narrow eyes are glowing with light, and it is looking steadily ahead in the direction it is flying in following the induction of the main body…
Both Hancock and Robin’s expressions changed slightly. In front of them was a “shadow” stretching over the sea that could already be seen with the naked eye…
Red Earth Continent!
“B.I.B” murmured: “So that’s it…”
“What’s going on?” Hancock asked in confusion, “Are you still being detained at the Navy Headquarters?”
“No, the naval headquarters is at the height of the sea, but the main body… is higher now. 』
“B.I.B” looked forward in the distance, his eyes slowly swept across the top of the Red Continent, and he read the name of a place that made Hancock and Robin’s expressions change drastically at the same time.
『In the Holy Land of the Celestial Dragons, Marie Joa. 』
……
……
A **** crack opened in the dim world… It was Lynch who slowly opened his eyes.
Consciousness is slowly returning, and Lynch gradually wakes up. He looks up, and what he sees in front of him flies and shakes. It seems to be a garden or a church? I seem to see butterflies flying…
I am…
Lin Qi’s blurred vision gradually focused on the…tall and slender dark figure in front of him.
Lin Qi couldn’t hear clearly what the other party seemed to be saying…
The other party stretched out his slender jade hand, pinched his chin and raised it. There was no trace of emotion in his eyes, and he said indifferently: “Where is your substitute?”
Lin Qi woke up instantly and stared at the opponent’s ripple-like pupils.
