Pirates, Start with the vampire fruit and rescue the empress

It was a cloudless night, with the waning moon in the sky and the twinkling stars.

Nine Snake Island, Royal Palace.

In a spacious bathroom steaming with white mist, Sephiroth stepped into the large bath filled with hot water and sat down.

The hot water in the bath just reached his chest. He leaned his back on the edge of the bath, with a lazy and timid expression on his face.

Once a Devil Fruit user’s body is mostly immersed in water, whether it is sea water or fresh water, their physical strength will be weakened, causing the user to feel physically exhausted.

Because Sephiroth had just experienced an exhausting battle, and because he deliberately kept his physical strength at a low level, he didn’t even want to move a finger now.

Therefore, Marigold had no choice but to hold a towel and help him gently wipe it and clean every part of his body.

Hancock was lying on the edge of the bathtub with his hands, and Sundar Sonia wiped his back with a towel. She said weakly:

“Hey~! Sephiroth, now you should tell us, where have you been in the past half month…?”

Among the three sisters, Hancock endured the most abuse from Sephiroth.

As a result, there were many marks left on her fair body, and it was estimated that it would take several days to disappear.

Sephiroth slowly closed his eyes and recalled with a lazy expression:

“Well! I went to a strange space called Rainbow Mist, and experienced a very bizarre time and space journey, traveling back and forth between different world nodes…

And… I accidentally drank the new medicine I developed… Due to a strange combination of circumstances, I even went to the underworld and saw my past and present lives in front of the Sansheng Stone… …

If it hadn’t been for the reincarnation guy who guided the dead in front of the Sansheng Stone and put me back, I might have died… Hahaha! ”

“…”×3

Suddenly!

Sephiroth felt the soft flesh around his waist being pinched by a hand. He opened his eyes, turned around and saw Hancock’s lovely bulging cheeks, as well as Sanda Sonia and Mary. Groud looked worried.

Hancock said emphatically while twisting the soft flesh of Sephiroth’s waist:

“Really! Sephiroth, please, can you please stop doing that kind of uncertain and dangerous things in the future…

If something happens to you, we will all be very worried about you…”

“Yes! Yes! Yes!…I know, I rarely do things that are uncertain and risky.

It was really an accident that time…”

Sephiroth looked helpless and raised his hand to touch Hancock’s silky black waist-length hair.

“Oh! By the way, I have a gift for you…”

With that said, Sephiroth stood up from the bath and let the hot water flow to the ground.

He walked to the bamboo basket with two long knives and clothes next to him, pulled the butcher knife out of its scabbard, and opened the carry-on space.

He rummaged through a pile of items inside and found a small wooden box, and took out three silver rings.

Sephiroth sheathed the sword and closed the portable space, then walked into the bath again and sat down.

He handed the three rings in his hand to the three Boya sisters respectively.

“Is this…an engagement ring?”

Hancock asked happily while looking at the ring in her hand carefully. She found that there was a gold inlaid on the inside of the ring, which was constantly emitting golden light.

Hearing this, Sephiroth scratched his head and subconsciously avoided the topic of “proposal”. He stated:

“Huh!?…This…the metal inlaid on the inside of the ring is called pure gold. The light it emits contains an extremely special energy that can greatly delay the growth rate of all living things.

In other words, it has the effect of making people immortal. The body age of the person wearing it will remain at the moment when it is worn…”

“If that’s the case… then this thing will be a priceless treasure!”

While speaking, Sundar Sonia put the ring in her hand on the ring finger of her left hand.

Sephiroth nodded slightly and said:

“Pure gold is indeed a priceless treasure, even the world’s nobles, the Celestial Dragons, covet it…

However, after wearing a ring, if you don’t take it off, your body will no longer be able to grow and your body will stop strengthening. ”

“Ah! Doesn’t that mean that if we want to stay young and beautiful all the time, we won’t be able to gain great strength?”

For Marigruder

With a tangled expression on his face, he looked at the ring in his hand.

No woman can resist the temptation of being forever young and beautiful, but if she wants to stay young, she must give up improving her strength…

“Then when you are practicing, wouldn’t it be better if you don’t wear it…?”

Hancock smiled nonchalantly, put the ring on his left ring finger, and looked at it carefully.

“Actually, the average person’s physical peak is around 25 to 30 years old…

Once this period has passed, your body will basically stop growing. ”

Hearing this, Marigrud thought about it and said with slight surprise:

“Eh!? But… I discovered that even after the age of 30, the female warriors on Nine Snakes Island are still steadily improving in physical strength and strength!?”

Sephiroth recounted while recalling the research data in his laboratory:

“Their strength can continue to grow, that’s because the quality of their armed domineering power has been improving…

Even if the body stops growing, the quality and quantity of armed domineering energy can slowly grow and accumulate through practice.

Therefore, for regular practitioners of armed domineering, their peak strength is probably around forty to fifty years old.

At that time, their tempered bodies had not yet aged, and their armed and domineering qualities had reached their peak state after years of practice.

The stronger the domineering force, the better the effect on increasing muscle fibers. Therefore, in their forties and fifties, they can exert far more power than they had in their twenties and thirties, in their youth!

Therefore, you will have the illusion that their muscle strength is stronger than when they were young!

However, no matter how powerful a domineering practitioner is, after the age of fifty-five, due to the gradual aging of the body and various hidden injuries, the strength will basically show a gradual decline trend.

If you take good care of yourself, this time can be delayed for a few more years, but when you reach the age of seventy or eighty, you will eventually be unable to escape the fate of physical aging and a substantial decline in strength…”

Hancock gently turned the ring on her left hand, and she said with a smile:

“Hehehe! I am already twenty-two years old this year, and my physical growth seems to have reached a bottleneck, and there has been no improvement.

Anyway, you can practice domineering by wearing this thing, so I won’t take it off at all…

After all, Sephiroth, you have always been in love with young girls!

I don’t want to turn into an old woman so quickly…

What if, when I get older, you dislike me? ”

Sephiroth: “…”
