One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

……

"Bang!"

The heavy iron door was kicked open violently, and a beautiful figure was thrown onto the floor of the room.

Immediately afterwards, two figures staggered and were violently pushed into the closed room.

"Hmph, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're slaves favored by Saint Charles!"

"You actually dare to resist?!"

A robust, muscular middle-aged man with a cold expression and an aura of ferocity emanated from him.

He looked at the three helpless girls in front of him with hostility and spoke a warning:

"If it weren't for Saint Charles showing you mercy, you wouldn't be seeing the sun rise tomorrow!"

"You'd better reflect on your actions and stay here for a week!"

boom!

After a loud slam of the door, the room fell completely silent, with only the three sisters' disordered breathing remaining.

One of them was Boa Hancock, whom Kiro was looking for and who had been kidnapped and enslaved by the Celestial Dragons.

The other two were her two younger sisters, Boa Sonia and Boa Marigold.

Right now, all three of them are in a very sorry state.

Marigold's body was covered in bloodstains, as if she had just been attacked.

After a moment of silence, Marigold, looking ashamed, spoke in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, it was my rash decision that led to us being locked up for a week."

Upon hearing this, Hancock abruptly raised her head and grabbed her sister's shoulder.

"No, you did nothing wrong!"

"You did this to protect me!"

Hancock's eyes flashed with pain as she thought about what had happened just ten minutes earlier.

……

Let's go back ten minutes.

The magnificent bedroom door was slowly pushed open, and an extremely obese Celestial Dragon, with a snotty nose, walked into the room surrounded by his servants.

The burly man followed closely behind Saint Charles.

"How are you? Haven't seen me for two days, missed me? Hancock?"

Charles Saint greeted the beautiful figure on the sofa with a smug smile and a greasy tone.

When his gaze fell upon that figure's back, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Beneath her flawless, smooth neck lay a beautifully contoured figure, her perfect physique further accentuated by the long dress.

Beneath a head of beautiful, smooth black hair was a stunningly beautiful face that could captivate anyone's heart.

Although Hancock is only 16 years old, she already exudes a beauty that could astound the world.

However, this stunningly beautiful young woman was staring at Saint Charles with a wary expression.

Seeing Hancock's distancing, Charlos Saint's expression stiffened, and a barely perceptible shadow flashed in his eyes.

Charles Saint was almost delirious with joy upon learning that his father, Saint Roswald, had bought Hancock and given her to him.

Hancock's beauty is the most stunning he has ever seen, bar none.

Even though he had countless beautiful slaves under his command, including some rare merfolk, none of them could compare to the girl in front of him.

That naturally beautiful face and the budding, alluring figure constantly captivated Charles Saint's heart.

However, Charles Saint, who was well-versed in this matter, knew that a forced relationship would not be sweet.

Rather than forcing Hancock to submit, he preferred to completely conquer the stunning beauty before him.

He had subdued countless cold and beautiful snow lotuses from the high mountains. The ultimate sense of accomplishment he felt upon successfully conquering them was something that no amount of force could replace.

He wanted to see this beautiful, thorny rose bloom beneath him.

However, of all the slaves Charlos Saint had ever encountered, Hancock was the most difficult to deal with.

Despite Charles Saint's repeated attempts to befriend him, Hancock always maintained a distance and wariness towards him.

Even when he offered her the "Sweet Fruit," Hancock simply accepted it silently without saying a word of thanks.

After composing himself, Charles Saint smiled and said:

"It's alright, Hancock, we can take it slow."

"You turned 16 last month, right? I prepared a special birthday present for you."

He took an exquisite wooden box from the burly man beside him, and when he opened it, he found a heart-shaped glass ornament that was about half the size of his palm.

Charlos Saint took out the heart-shaped ornament, sat down next to Hancock, and slowly hung the ornament around Hancock's neck.

"Here, let me make up for your missed birthday present!"

Hancock frowned and unconsciously clenched her hands when faced with Charlos Saint's somewhat ambiguous behavior, but after glancing at her two sisters beside her, she restrained herself and did not stop him.

However, after putting on the jewelry, Charlos Saint did not withdraw his hand, but instead casually placed it on Hancock's shoulder.

"So? Have you thought it through?"

His rather swollen hand restlessly rested on Hancock's shoulder, seemingly poised to continue downwards.

Hancock pursed her lips tightly and ultimately remained silent.

But just as despair began to creep into her eyes, a sudden change occurred.

"stop!"

Marigold could no longer bear to see her sister suffer such a cruel fate, so she immediately transformed into a cobra, writhing her entire body as she lunged at Charles Saint.

Even with bodyguards by his side, Charles Saint was so frightened by the ferocious snake's jaws that he screamed and slipped, falling towards the door.

He stared at the snake's mouth that was hissing at him, and in fear he stumbled back two steps, but then suddenly realized what was happening.

At that moment, a guard following behind him suddenly struck, punching the snake's belly.

boom!

The heavy punch landed hard on Marigold's body, creating a surging shockwave.

"puff!"

Struck by this blow, Marigold could no longer maintain her cobra form and collapsed to the ground in agony.

"Marie Groot!"

Hancock exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward to support the agonizing Marigold.

"Are you alright!? Marigold!?"

Charlos Saint had already reacted; the fear in his eyes instantly turned into anger, and his gaze towards Marigold was filled with murderous intent.

His right hand trembled as he pointed at Marigold, his sharp voice distorted with extreme anger.

"Kill her!"

Upon hearing the sound, the burly man stepped forward, his right hand already stained with a layer of jet-black Armament Haki.

But just as he was about to make a move, he saw that Hancock had already shielded the powerless Marigold beneath her.

Hancock gritted her teeth, staring intently at Saint Charles. "If you dare kill her, I'll die right here!"

These words made the burly man stop and turn to look at Charles Saint.

Charlos Saint's expression was unpredictable, his eyes shifting back and forth between Hancock and Marigold.

Finally, he let out a long sigh and put on an extremely hypocritical and greasy smile.

"Alright, Hancock, for your sake, I won't kill her."

"but……"

"If you do something wrong, you must pay the price."

"Kazo, lock them up in solitary confinement for a week, and don't give them food or water!"

Charlos straightened his clothes, a cold glint in his eyes, and turned to walk towards the door.

Just before leaving, he turned and gave Hancock a cold glance.

"Hancock, my patience is limited."

"If you still haven't given me a satisfactory answer after seven days..."

He scoffed, "I don't mind ending this game."

boom!

The door was slammed shut, leaving only the three Hancock sisters trembling inside the room.
