Firstly, because the geographical location here is extremely treacherous, situated above the doldrums, making it impossible for ordinary pirate ships to sail here.
Of course, besides this, what's even more important is the presence of those enormous sea monsters in the Calm Belt, which roam around year-round, making them awe-inspiring.
At this moment, the Nine Serpents Island was under heavy guard, and a solemn atmosphere permeated every corner of the island.
The national border was under tight security, with the entire country on high alert. Warriors from Nine Serpents Island, entwined with small snakes and wielding weapons, came and went.
Especially inside the palace, there were sentries every three steps and guards every five steps.
Even Hancock's two best friends, Sandersonia with her cascading green hair and Marigold with her plump figure and orange hair, were standing guard at the door.
The entire nation was on high alert not because of any major battle or preparation for an enemy attack, but because Empress Hancock was currently taking a bath in the palace bathroom.
........
Chapter 132 I didn't mean to! You swear!
The two sisters guarding the bathroom door exuded a terrifying aura. Their snake-like eyes flashed with a sharp light as they scanned every inch of space, warily assessing their surroundings.
Because of that unspeakable experience in Mary Geoise during his childhood, he was branded with the Celestial Dragons' hoofprints.
After escaping from the Celestial Dragons, in order to protect this secret, the three of them unanimously claimed that they were cursed because they defeated Gorgon, a monster capable of petrifying creatures.
Anyone who sees the curse on their back will be petrified by the power of the curse.
At this moment, inside the royal bathroom, which was built with a great deal of money.
Steam rises and floats in mid-air, obscuring the view. Through these constantly rising and falling wisps of mist, one can see...
A woman with long, glossy black hair, a tall figure, wearing exaggerated snake-shaped earrings, captivating deep blue eyes, and a large forehead is taking a bath.
Her beauty is exquisite; every smile and frown exudes boundless charm, captivating all who behold her.
One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Pirate Empress, and the user of the Love Love Fruit: Boa Hancock!
Not only is her strength admirable, but her unparalleled beauty is also unmatched in the world.
Tick tock!
Water slid down her fragrant shoulders, dripping into the pool and splashing with a series of sounds.
Taking a deep breath, Hancock activated her Observation Haki to survey her surroundings.
Although... now the entire Nine-Shell Island is under martial law and has been peaceful for so many years, with no one able to get in, she is still uneasy and remains vigilant every time.
After scanning every corner of the bathroom and making sure no one was there, she felt a little more at ease.
Slowly, I immersed my body in the clear pool of water.
At this moment, the sky gradually darkened, and above the roof of the palace bathroom, a sixth brother was quietly falling from the sky.
"Ok?"
"Why is there a sound of flowing water?" Luo Xiu was half-bent over, his feet lightly touching the tiles. He sensed the sound of water flowing below and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Let's see how things go first!"
Thinking of this, Luo Xiu casually lifted a tile, peered through the light, and scanned the surroundings below.
hiss~
What a huge bathhouse!
Luo Xiu's pupils widened slightly, and his body involuntarily leaned forward. When he saw the Empress emerging from the water, her entire body on display, his heart skipped a beat, and his pupils dilated violently.
I rely on!
"Who?"
Suddenly, the commotion on the roof made Hancock's eyes narrow, and she quickly put on the clothes on the ground.
Wow!
Luo Xiu was already lying prostrate on the rubble when he was startled by the noise. With a slight effort, he fell off, bringing with him pieces of rubble that landed on the open ground of the palace bathhouse.
Luckily, he could fly and regained control of his body mid-flight, otherwise he would have fallen flat on his face.
Two meters tall, black hair and black eyes, and this face!
"Luo Xiu!"
Hancock's expression changed drastically when she saw the person falling from above.
She knew this person.
It should be said that there are very few people in this world who don't recognize the person in front of them.
He overthrew Impel Down, cleansed Marine Headquarters, and was the founder of the Devil Guild.
Its fame has already spread throughout the seas!
It was precisely because she recognized Luo Xiu's identity that Hancock was so solemn. The guy who could escape from the hands of three Marine Admirals had terrifying strength, which was far beyond what she could compare to at the moment.
And the other party must have seen the Heavenly Dragon Hoofprint on his back just now!
This is intolerable; he must be killed.
But that's simply impossible.
Meanwhile, the two sisters who were waiting outside the door also sensed the noise inside the bathroom, opened the door and rushed in.
"elder sister!"
"what happened?"
An immense pressure weighed on their hearts, and the words they were about to say were immediately swallowed back down.
Because they know this person too!
“He saw us from behind…” Hancock said in a deep voice.
"what?"
The two sisters gasped in surprise, realizing the problem was more serious than they had imagined.
The thing I feared most still happened.
The dragon hoofprints they used to cover their shameful past have been seen...
If the other party didn't see it, given Luo Xiu's immense strength, even his impolite intrusion could be overlooked.
Let's pretend this never happened.
But now, Luo Xiu has seen it... This means that they were once slaves in the hands of the Celestial Dragons, and that terrifying experience buried deep in their hearts is very likely to be exposed.
hiss~
Thinking of this, the two sisters couldn't help but gasp.
Absolutely not.
No matter who it is, no matter how powerful Luo Xiu is, they will fight with all their might to kill him!
Even if he is the devil Rosh!
The three exchanged a glance, their auras suddenly intensified, and their eerie pupils stared intently at Luo Xiu.
"Um... I didn't mean to! You might not believe it, but that's really how it is!"
"I promise I won't tell anyone about the Celestial Dragon hoofprints on your backs, and I have absolutely no interest in what you do with the Celestial Dragons!"
"Anyway, I meant no harm!"
"I'm here only to discuss a deal!"
Sensing the gazes and murderous intent emanating from the three women, Luo Xiu quickly offered an explanation.
The point of contention isn't that Hancock's body was completely exposed, but rather the dragon hoofprint on her back and the old story behind it.
As long as you promise on the spot not to reveal what you saw and state your position, the conflict will naturally be resolved. Even if it cannot be resolved immediately, it can ease the tense atmosphere and create some room for future transactions.
Sure enough, after Luo Xiu said that, Hancock and the two sisters' cold killing intent subsided considerably, but they remained vigilant.
After all, this was the first time they had met Luo Xiu in person, and they had no way of knowing his character or whether he was lying on purpose.
“Swear it!” Hancock raised her slender, pale arm and pointed at Luo Xiu with a cold snort.
You saw my body naked, and you said you meant no harm.
Do you really think I'm a naive and innocent girl?
Luo Xiu's expression froze.
Why do women in your One Piece world believe in this stuff?
You should know that a man's vows are generally useless, especially when they come to a woman.
"I swear, I will keep this a secret!"
"Otherwise, I'll be struck by lightning and die on the spot!" Although he thought this in his heart, Luo Xiu still raised his hand, spread out four fingers, and made a declaration to the sky.
Hancock was slightly satisfied. Making Luo Xiu swear was out of necessity, since she had no other way to restrain him.
Hopefully, Roche will be a man of his word.
"You just said you came here for a deal?" Hancock brought up Rosh's last words.
"Correct!"
"Slay the Celestial Dragon with your own hands!"
Chapter 133 Accept the deal!
Luo Xiu's words clearly made the three of them perk up.
"As long as there's compensation, the Celestial Dragons who have persecuted you can become your primary targets!" Luo Xiu continued.
The Celestial Dragons are the world's nobles, hailed as descendants of gods, and are above all people and all laws.
Such a being, let alone killing him, would be a capital offense even if one did not kowtow upon meeting him.
However, the person in front of me now says he wants to kill the Celestial Dragons with his own hands.
Moreover, they are those same few terrifying faces that exist deep in my memory, faces that I only recall when I have nightmares.
