One Piece: All-girl Group, Awakening the Blue Dragon Fruit

Her whole body was immersed in the bathtub, and due to the side effects of the devil fruit, her body gradually became weak and powerless in the bathtub.

The ice in her heart began to slowly melt, and the emotions and thoughts that were usually suppressed now surged into her heart like a tide.

The bath lasted for more than an hour, and when Hancock finally got up from the tub, she suddenly felt dizzy.

Her body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and she felt extremely uncomfortable all over. Finally, she fell powerlessly on the bed.

When Housekeeper Plantagenet discovered that the empress was sick, she hurriedly sent someone to ask Bella Donna, the island's doctor, to come and treat her.

However, unexpectedly, Bella Donna was also helpless against her condition.

She tried a variety of treatments, but none of them could alleviate the Empress' symptoms, and Hancock's physical condition began to deteriorate.

For a time, the news that the empress was ill and bedridden spread quickly throughout the Nine Snake Island like wings.

There was a tense and worried atmosphere on Nine Snake Island, and everyone was praying that the empress would recover soon.

When Granny Flame Flower heard the news that Hancock was ill, she was extremely worried and rushed into Nine Snakes City.

When she arrived at Hancock's bedroom, she saw Hancock lying on the bed with a flushed face, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead, and she looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Mother-in-law, Lady Snake has been pressing her chest and looks very distressed. There might be something wrong with her heart." Bella Donna anxiously reported her diagnosis to Mother-in-law Flame Flower.

Granny Flame Flower carefully examined Hancock's body but found nothing abnormal.

So she began to ask everyone whether Hancock had eaten poisonous food or encountered anything strange.

Housekeeper Goldbroom thought about it carefully and shook her head: "Grandma Flame Flower, Lady Snake just returned to Nine Snake Island today and has not eaten here yet. She just met with the national defenders in the hall and then became like this after taking a bath."

Bella Donna suddenly remembered a terrible rumor and asked, "Grandma Flame Flower, could it be the terrible Gorgon curse?"

"Take me to the bathroom first." Grandma Flame Flower said in a deep voice, and then quickly walked towards the bathroom where Empress Hancock was bathing.

She checked the bathroom carefully, and found nothing unusual in every corner of the room or the pool water.

Back in the bedroom, Granny Flame Flower looked at Hancock's painful appearance with a frown on her face. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Go to the port and ask the leader of the El Pirates to come over. I want to ask him if Snake Princess was injured during the war."

However, Goldbroom looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Grandma Flame Flower, the members of the El Pirates have already left by ship, and a national warrior came to report this matter."

This unintentional remark suddenly awakened Grandma Flame Flower. She suddenly realized and had a vague guess in her mind.

Seeing the change in Granny Flame Flower's expression, everyone quickly gathered around her and said, "Granny, have you thought of something? Has Lady Snake been saved?"

Granny Flame Flower stamped her cane and said solemnly, "This could be a very deadly virus. You guys go out first. I want to check Snake Princess alone and confirm it again."

After hearing what Granny Flame Flower said, everyone left the bedroom obediently, leaving only Granny Flame Flower and Hancock in the room.

Granny Flame Flower sat beside Hancock's bed, carefully observing her every subtle reaction.

She already had a bold guess in her mind, but it still needed further verification.

Hancock's breathing seemed a little rapid, but she was still conscious, but the physical discomfort made her unbearable.

Chapter 73: Treating Lovesickness (Please recommend and collect)

"Snake Princess, have you been in frequent contact with one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, El, recently?" asked Granny Flame Flower softly, hoping to get some clues from Hancock.

Hancock opened her eyes slightly, her voice weak but clear: "I... didn't, I just helped him send him to Impel... and we came back together after the war... In addition, he fulfilled his previous promise..."

Granny Flame Flower nodded and continued, "I just happened to have something else to do with him, so I'll send someone to get him back now."

Hancock nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, just arrange for someone to go. If we set off now, the water snakes should be able to catch up with them."

Looking at Hancock's sudden energetic appearance, Granny Flame Flower felt mixed emotions. She sighed softly and confirmed Hancock's condition again.

She first called Goldfinch and arranged, "Go and call the patriotic soldiers on duty at the port. Also ask Longdan and the others to come over. I may have something for them to do."

When Goldbroom saw that Hancock on the bed seemed to be in better spirits than before, she was a little surprised but did not dare to be negligent at all. She hurriedly went to find someone to come over according to the instructions of Grandma Flame Flower.

After Goldbroom left, Granny Flame Flower turned her gaze to Hancock again and said solemnly, "I roughly know what your illness is."

Hancock asked with a distressed look on his face: "Am I sick?"

"This is a terrible virus. All emperors of Nine Snake Island have suffered from it. The previous emperor died of this disease. It was because of this disease that Xia Qi and I left our homes and homes and left Nine Snake Island to save our lives." Granny Flame Flower explained, with a hint of helplessness and heaviness in her tone.

Hancock couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition when he heard this: "Then... do I also have to leave Nine Snake Island to find a way to save it?"

Granny Flame Flower nodded, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "Yes, if this disease will continue to worsen on Nine Snake Island, the only way to survive is to leave here and follow that man. But the specific situation, I still need to further confirm it before seeing it."

"What is going on?" Hancock couldn't help but ask directly when she saw the mysterious look on Flame Flower Granny's face.

Granny Flame Flower sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "You must be suffering from lovesickness. I originally thought that if I didn't let that guy go to the island, there would be no accidents, but fate is always so unpredictable. Because of the navy's call, you met each other, and now because of his departure, your illness broke out. As long as you follow him, your illness should be cured."

"Are you kidding? I said I got this disease because of that El? How is that possible? I am the emperor of Nine Snake Island." There was obvious unconvincedness in Hancock's tone.

Granny Flame Flower looked at Hancock, sighed and said, "You can't deceive your own heart."

At this moment, Plantagenet hurried in to report that the patriotic soldiers on duty at the port and Platycodon had all arrived outside the hall.

After Granny Flame Flower let them into the hall, she began to ask in detail about the whereabouts of the El Pirates.

Several national defenders described the situation at that time, and finally Flame Flower came to know that they were heading to Ruskaina Island.

"That should be fine. They may just be going to that island to check on the progress of their practice." Granny Flame Flower breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Long Dan, who had received the news, also rushed to Jiushe City. He asked with concern, "Grandma Huoyanhua, how is Lady Snake Princess?"

Granny Flame Flower waved her hand and said, "It's okay. Take your men to Ruskaina Island now and bring back all the members of the El Pirates. I have something to discuss with them."

"No need, I'll go there myself." Hancock suddenly sat up from the bed.

She decided to go to Ruskaina Island herself to see what was going on.

Hancock's sudden decision surprised everyone present.

Everyone hurriedly advised: "Sir Snake Princess, you are not well yet, how can you go out to sea now? You should just lie down in bed and rest."

Hancock straightened her clothes, her expression revealing an unquestionable determination.

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, Longdan, we will set off now." Hancock said firmly.

Following the Empress' order, the group marched towards the port in a mighty procession.

The national defenders quickly prepared the ship, and Hancock boarded the ship surrounded by the crowd, looking at the distant Ruskaina Island with mixed feelings.

When their ship arrived at Ruskaina Island, they found that the ship of the El Pirates and the ship brought by Lord Rayleigh were both quietly docked on the beach.

Hancock's spirits were getting better and better, just like usual.

Everyone felt relieved when they saw the empress's condition.

Under the leadership of Granny Flame Flower, she and the Empress headed towards the center of the island, looking for traces of El and his group.

After passing through a lush forest, they finally found Al and his gang.

At this time, Rayleigh was explaining his experience of domineering to everyone.

Hancock's eyes swept through the crowd, and the man's figure immediately came into her sight, causing her heart to beat faster.

When Rayleigh saw the arrival of Flame Flower Granny and the Empress, he stopped teaching and came up to them.

"What's wrong, Flame Flower, are you and Hancock here for something?" Rayleigh asked.

Granny Flame Flower looked at the people in the distance and whispered, "Hancock has also contracted the same disease as me and Xia Qi."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Rayleigh's gaze lingered on Hancock for a moment. Seeing her eyes full of tenderness, he couldn't help but laugh.

Judging from Hancock's expression, the person she loves is obviously among this group of people.

The people he brought with him, as well as Ace and his three companions who joined later, had never come into contact with Hancock.

Then there is only one truth.

He turned around and waved, motioning for Al to come over.

Although Al was puzzled, he still came to them as Rayleigh instructed.

At this time, on the field behind him, Chopper was anxiously performing emergency rescue treatment on Sanji who had gone into shock.

"What's wrong, Uncle Rayleigh?" Al asked confusedly.

Rayleigh patted Al's shoulder gently, smiling with some approval: "Young man, you look pretty good. Not only do you have the qualifications for Conqueror's Haki, but your strength is also stronger than I was back then. Now you have the favor of the most beautiful Hancock in the world."

Rayleigh's words instantly turned Hancock's cheeks red.

Although she still maintained that proud attitude, with her head held high and her eyes fixed firmly on Al, her heart was beating like a deer, stirring up ripples.

She didn't want to reveal her vulnerability and shyness easily in such a public spotlight.

When Al heard Rayleigh's words, he was so surprised that he couldn't express it in words.

Chapter 74 The Empress' Invitation

He admitted that he had feelings for the Empress, otherwise he would not have ruined Luffy's trip to Nine Snake Island.

It was only after actually meeting Hancock that he began to consider that if the Empress came on board, the Orange Windmill would change from a big family full of laughter and joy into a battlefield.

As a result, he didn't make any obvious moves, nor did he accidentally break into the bathroom like Luffy, but he actually won the heart of the Empress?

But this is not the time to be surprised.

He knew the lovesickness situation on Nine Snake Island, especially here in Hancock, who was particularly overwhelmed.

Even though Al is a straight man, he knows that Hancock should not be left alone to face this embarrassment at this time.

He quickly spoke, his voice full of sincerity: "Thank you for your love, Hancock, I like you too, let's work hard together!"

Al still remembers his initial thoughts. At that time, he just wanted to get promoted in Donghai, get a raise, marry the rich and beautiful Ke Ya, and live a stable life together.

Looking back now, I found that I had become a scumbag, taking Ke Ya away from her wealthy home and drifting on the sea with him.

But this was not the time to think about anything else. Al quickly dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind and looked intently at Hancock in front of him.

When Hancock heard Al's words at this moment, she felt as if she had eaten honey. Her face flushed and her heart was beating fast.

She raised her head proudly, trying to remain calm, but the tenderness in her eyes could not be concealed.

She did not respond to him as Al expected, but turned and left, leaving only a gentle voice: "I'm going back to Nine Snake City first. When you finish your work here, come find me. I have something to tell you."

Hancock's steps were light and graceful, and she gradually disappeared into the woods.

Rayleigh patted Al's shoulder in an almost fatherly manner, with a meaningful smile on his face. "Young man, you are really lucky. However, love is a flower that needs careful care. Don't let her down, otherwise I, an old man, will not let you go."

El nodded, and was about to follow Hancock's direction when he was stopped by Granny Flameflower. "The child's past experiences have made her more sensitive than others. Give her some time to let her heart slowly open up to you, and then go find her at night."

El respectfully accepted Granny's advice and responded softly, "I understand, Granny Flame Flower. I will remain patient."

After watching the Flame Flower Granny leave, El returned to Rayleigh's lecture.

And all of this was quietly captured by Nami, who possessed the ability of the Thunder Fruit.

She stood aside, staring at her captain with complicated eyes, feeling mixed emotions.

It was this man who saved himself and his village, and was willing to help him realize his dream of drawing nautical charts all over the world.

Although his and his sister's fruits were not as varied as Vivi's mythical beast species, during this journey, he had already realized how precious his fruits were.

Even the genius of the World Government Intelligence Agency, who was said to appear once every 800 years, was defeated by the power of his own fruit.

Although she secretly had a vague affection for the captain, when her sisters boarded the ship, Kaya, the stunningly beautiful companion, was already on board. Princess Vivi joined later, so she kept her feelings deep in her heart.

He does not have Ke Ya's beauty, nor does he have Wei Wei's noble status.

Ever since she obtained the Thunder Fruit, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

She, an ordinary girl from the countryside, can finally accompany the captain as a partner rather than a burden, and face every adventure together.

I just didn't expect that the captain would be hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world today, and that an empress like Hancock would confess her love to her in person.

In this way, Rayleigh's teaching continued until the sunset covered the sky.

Everyone except Al benefited a lot from his explanation.

At this time, not only did El's two-color domineering power reach the level of a general emperor, he also possessed the secret of his fist bones that was equivalent to the level of Ryuo.

Garp's fist bone secret technique can not only release shock waves to cause large-scale damage, but also cause internal destruction like Ryuo Armament Haki.

Back on the ship, El did not go to Nine Snake Island immediately, but celebrated Perona's joining with everyone.

Although he was also worried about how to deal with Hancock's feelings at this time, he did not ignore Perona.

Seeing that El was not in a hurry to leave, but chose to stay on the ship to celebrate the addition of new partners with everyone, Nami couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart.

This was the captain she followed, a man who cherished his companions and put friendship and teamwork first.
