"Killed Crocodile, destroyed Judicial Island?!"
Hancock's beautiful eyes flickered, letting out a soft huff beside her.
One is a Shichibukai publicly acknowledged by the Marine.
The other is one of the three major institutions under the World Government's rule.
Reno is clearly going against the Marine and the World Government; he certainly has a lot of guts.
"Hahahahaha... Empress, there's something even more interesting."
Her sister, Sandersonia, chimed in, "Empress, besides Captain Reno, all the other crew members of the Reno Pirates are beautiful women."
Upon hearing this, Hancock's stunning face suddenly turned cold, and she couldn't help but say in a chilling voice, "Another stinking man."
With that, Hancock lazily propped her chin with her delicate hand again, glancing sideways at the newspaper beside her, and couldn't help but scoff, "I don't understand why they would so devotedly follow a stinking man."
"If I get the chance, I really want to see what this Reno is capable of."
Sandersonia and Marigold exchanged smiles and said, "If Reno sees Empress, he will surely fall at your feet."
Hancock immediately raised her head and proudly declared, "Of course, after all, I am as beautiful as a celestial maiden."
Her incredibly narcissistic words echoed, and the people of Amazon Lily below instantly had hearts in their eyes, screaming in admiration.
This is the charm of Pirate Empress Boa Hancock.
"Hancock, are you that confident in yourself?!"
Suddenly, a calm yet somewhat abrupt voice unsuitably rang out in the hall.
"Who?!" The Sandersonia sisters and the other Kuja Warriors all became vigilant.
A man's voice appeared on the all-female Amazon Lily?!
Who is so reckless as to dare to cause trouble on Amazon Lily!
The next second, Reno's figure appeared in the hall without warning.
In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Reno.
"Presumptuous! How dare you trespass on Amazon Lily!" Several Kuja Warriors drew their bows, ready to shoot Reno.
As Kuja Warriors, it is their duty to protect Amazon Lily and protect the Empress.
No one should disturb the Empress.
"Wait!!"
"Stop!!!"
Almost simultaneously, Sandersonia and Marigold loudly stopped everyone's next actions.
The two looked at the man in the center of the hall with some apprehension, quickly walked to Hancock's side, and whispered a few words in her ear.
"Oh?!" Hancock let out a soft sound of surprise, examining the man in front of her with interest, "You are Reno?!"
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
As Hancock observed Reno, Reno was also observing Hancock.
Having seen too many beautiful women, he had to admit that Hancock was truly beautiful.
Her beauty was in no way inferior to any of the beautiful women in his Pirate Crew.
If one only watched the anime, many might not think Hancock was very pretty, or even find the praise for her beauty somewhat exaggerated.
But in reality, the three most beautiful women in the One Piece World are Boa Hancock, Kozuki Hiyori, and Shirahoshi.
This was personally confirmed by Oda.
Noticing Reno's undisguised burning gaze, Hancock, feeling offended, lowered her eyes, and her expression subsequently turned cold.
"Reno, trespassing on Amazon Lily, you should know what price you have to pay, right?!"
In her opinion, even if Reno killed Crocodile, it didn't mean anything.
The taboos of Amazon Lily would not change for anyone.
Hancock slowly rose, looking down at Reno in the center of the hall, and arrogantly said, "Reno, I will use your stone statue to warn men like you who disregard the rules of Amazon Lily."
At this point, Hancock once again struck her classic backward-leaning pose, fully displaying the two massive peaks in front of her.
Reno gazed intently, admiring the constantly shifting peaks before him. As for Hancock's threat, he had long since cast it aside.
"Bastard, you weren't even listening to what the Empress said, were you?!"
"Damn it, how dare you stare at the Empress with such eyes!"
Sandersonia and Marigold, the two sisters, watched Reno with piercing eyes. They noticed that Reno's gaze had never left Hancock's massive white breasts from beginning to end.
This was an unforgivable offense to the Empress!
"Reno, pay the price for your rude behavior!"
Hancock's eyes narrowed, her Love-Love Fruit ability activated, and her two delicate hands drew out a pink heart, which she then aimed at Reno.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Hancock was about to shoot the pink arrow, Reno suddenly raised his hand to interrupt.
"Hmm?!" Hancock's beautiful eyes furrowed slightly, but inwardly she was secretly pleased.
Only now does he know fear and want to beg for mercy?!
Too late, unfortunately!
Any man who offends her must turn to stone!
"Hancock, don't be in a hurry. I didn't come empty-handed this time; I even brought you a gift."
"Once you see him, you will definitely—"
"Enough! I have no interest in your so-called gift, and don't even think of using such methods to gain my forgiveness!"
Hancock mercilessly cut off Reno's words.
Reno wasn't angry; he just looked at Hancock with a strange expression.
As expected of the legendary pirate empress, her personality is indeed eccentric and she acts on her own whims.
Of course, this was also Hancock's way of protecting herself.
But she really needed some discipline.
Reno decided that after he tamed this proud rose, he would first spank her until her butt was swollen.
Then he would make her kneel and serve him for two hours before anything else!
Thinking this, Reno vanished directly from the hall. Before anyone could react, the next second, Reno reappeared.
Only this time, besides him, there was also an open sack.
"Ah!"
Saint Charloss, who had his five limbs broken and his scapula (shoulder blades) pierced, fell heavily to the ground, letting out another pig-like scream.
Everyone was startled by this sudden scene.
"Another man?!"
Hancock was furious; it was endless.
She made a move to unleash her Love-Love Fruit to turn both men in front of her into stone.
"Hancock, take a good look at who he is!"
A voice like thunder suddenly exploded in Hancock's ear, and the movement of her hand paused.
Hancock's beautiful eyes widened.
!!
When that corpulent body emerged from the sack, all thoughts in Hancock's mind instantly ceased, and her two delicate hands unconsciously dropped.
"He...he is..."
Although Saint Charloss's mask was gone, when Hancock saw the familiar attire on him, memories she could never bear to recall surged into her mind like a tide. Even her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Celestial Dragon! He's a Celestial Dragon!!!"
Hancock's face no longer held its previous arrogance and disdain; instead, it was replaced by fear, a visible terror and unease that anyone could see.
This attire, so familiar she couldn't be more familiar with it, was the nightmare of her life, a nightmare she could never shake off!
"How could this be?!"
Changing color along with her were the two sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold. The moment they recognized Saint Charloss's identity, their reaction was identical to Hancock's.
That deep-seated fear was utterly impossible to hide.
Even though Reno had prepared himself, he still sighed inwardly upon seeing this scene.
The experiences of the Hancock sisters could indeed be described as tragic.
The three sisters were abducted by human traffickers when they were young, and later fell into the hands of the Celestial Dragons, where they were arbitrarily played with as slaves.
Even the Love-Love Fruit that Hancock ate was merely a part of the Celestial Dragons' games.
Although they were fortunate enough to be rescued by Tiger, that dark past was deeply etched in their minds, impossible to erase.
Most importantly, even though they had escaped their former environment, Hancock often forced herself to forget that unbearable scene.
But the Celestial Dragon's Hoof Mark on her back, as if carrying the Celestial Dragons' mockery, rekindled her past memories every minute of every second.
"All of you, get out!"
As time passed, the look of terror on Hancock's face receded somewhat. She waved her hand, dismissing all the Kuja Warriors from the hall except for her two sisters.
After they left, Hancock stared blankly at Saint Charloss, who was still screaming in pain.
She had never heard such a beautiful sound, pleasant and melodious.
After a moment of enjoyment, Hancock slightly raised her head and looked at Reno again. Compared to before, her expression had softened considerably.
"Reno, do you know who he is?!"
"I captured him, so do you think I know?" Reno looked at Hancock and asked with a smile.
Captured him?!
Hancock was momentarily lost in thought. Could those four words truly be used to describe a Celestial Dragon?!
Or did Reno think that because he had defeated Crocodile and destroyed Judicial Island, he had become so arrogant that he no longer cared about even the Celestial Dragons?!
Hancock stared at Reno, then suddenly lost control of her emotions and shouted, "Reno, do you even know what the words 'Celestial Dragon' mean?!"
Reno smiled slightly, pointing at Saint Charloss and saying, "Hancock, Celestial Dragons are no different from ordinary people. Haven't you all seen? He's also screaming."
"He'll also kneel before me like a dog, begging for my forgiveness, won't you, Saint Charloss?!"
As if to confirm Reno's words, as soon as he finished speaking, Saint Charloss scrambled and crawled to kneel before him.
He kowtowed like a frantic pestle, "Let me go! I am a Celestial Dragon. If you let me go, I'll give you anything."
"I can also let bygones be bygones regarding what just happened!!"
Saint Charloss's voice was urgent as he pleaded without an ounce of dignity.
A devil! The man before him was a devil!!
Reno actually disregarded his status as a Celestial Dragon and tortured him like this.
He would endure for now. Once he returned to Mary Geoise, he would definitely have Sengoku send people to kill this bastard!
"Big Sister, is he… is he really a Celestial Dragon?!!"
The two sisters looked at the scene before them in disbelief, their voices trembling.
"Do you want to take a closer look?!" Reno smiled, looking at Hancock.
Hancock froze, then slowly walked towards the center of the hall on her long, beautiful legs, stopping about a meter away from Saint Charloss.
Before her, the dull thud of his head hitting the ground, his humble pleas for mercy, and his agonizing screams intertwined, constantly stimulating Hancock's senses.
"The Celestial Dragons you consider high and mighty, they also feel pain, they also feel fear, and their blood is also red. So you have no need to fear them at all." Reno's gentle voice came from beside her again.
Hancock paused, shifting her gaze from Saint Charloss to Reno again.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt that Reno wasn't as annoying as he had been just now.
Especially after she saw Reno torture Saint Charloss to this extent, she even found Reno a little cute.
"Hancock, I know you three sisters have an unbearable past. What happened in the past cannot be changed, but you can have a brand new future."
"You… you know about my past?!!!"
Hancock's beautiful eyes widened, looking at Reno in disbelief.
She had never voluntarily mentioned those things, and had even deliberately concealed them.
Even many of the Kuja Warriors on the island didn't know about her experiences, so how did Reno know?!
But soon, she became relieved, looking at Reno with a complex expression, gently biting her lower lip, and whispered, "Since you know about our past, then… will you look down on me?!"
With her deepest secret exposed, all of Hancock's arrogance and pretense vanished before Reno at this moment.
Reno smiled slightly, pointing at Saint Charloss, who was kneeling on the ground and repeatedly kowtowing, "If I looked down on you, I wouldn't have brought him here."
A casual remark, like a heavy hammer, struck Hancock's heart.
Hancock was in a daze, having received the answer she longed for.
Feeling a little dizzy, she instinctively grabbed Reno's shoulder, looking up at him quietly.
Did Reno really, for her sake, dare to defy the world and capture a Celestial Dragon?!
Was there really such a man in the world?!
Hancock, whose head was spinning with happiness, suddenly found her breathing becoming a little rapid.
Her eyes, like a spring, couldn't help but ripple as she looked at Reno.
Uh… Reno froze.
He knew this move worked on Hancock, but he didn't expect it to work so well.
The Celestial Dragon plan was indeed tried and true.
He glanced at Saint Charloss with a pitiful look.
To him, Saint Charloss no longer had any use.
Just wait for the next transmigrator.
He could kill him to vent his anger and win Hancock's heart, killing two birds with one stone.
"Cough, cough." Seeing Hancock's eyes gradually glaze over, Reno quickly cleared his throat. He was indeed eager, but not that eager.
Reno changed the subject, "Hancock, besides the Celestial Dragon, there's another matter. If I'm not mistaken, don't you three sisters have the Celestial Dragon Hoof Mark, unique to Celestial Dragons, carved on your backs?!"
"That's right." Hancock nodded, her eyes gradually returning to clarity.
At this point, she had nothing left to hide.
Seemingly realizing something, Hancock's voice became urgent again, "Reno, do you have a way to help us remove the mark?!"
As soon as she said this, the eyes of Sandersonia and Marigold, her two sisters, lit up simultaneously.
Meeting their expectant gazes, Reno nodded slightly.
"Reno, can you really do it?!" Hancock nervously clutched Reno's arm.
As the Empress of the Kuja, Hancock hadn't lost her composure like this in a long time.
But at this moment, she truly couldn't help herself; she couldn't control her emotions at all.
"I can indeed remove the mark from your backs." Reno nodded again, his tone certain.
With the Healing Power from the Healing-Healing Fruit, a small mark was simply not worth mentioning.
"Come back to my room with me now and help me remove the mark from my body." Hancock grabbed Reno's arm, pulling him towards the room without question.
"Before that, I think it's better to deal with Saint Charloss as soon as possible. You don't want him to keep shouting here, do you?!" Reno stopped Hancock's actions and looked at Saint Charloss again.
At this moment, Saint Charloss was already terrified, only knowing how to kowtow repeatedly.
"Big Sister, how should we deal with him?!!"
Sandersonia and Marigold stepped forward simultaneously, their faces filled with murderous intent.
"Saint Charloss!!!" Hancock gritted her teeth, looking coldly at Saint Charloss.
"Don't let him die too easily. Give him every torture Amazon Lily has!" With that, Hancock eagerly took Reno's hand and turned to leave the main hall.
After the two left, cruel smiles appeared on the faces of Sandersonia and Marigold. Their long hair became menacing, and several giant long snakes, flicking their tongues, approached Saint Charloss.
"Don't come any closer!!!" Saint Charloss shrieked, then fainted directly.
