Momonga was at his wit's end.
Although he had managed to stop Hancock from charging at the mbers of the God's Knights, he couldn't stop the Marine Headquarters' crazy officers and soldiers. The Warlord eting wasn't scheduled for another three days, and Hancock had arrived two days early.
This ant she would have to stay at the Headquarters for the entire next day and Momonga head was spinning!
If he had known Hancock would be so cooperative, he wouldn't have rushed to Amazon Lily to pick her up so quickly. Now, all he could do was hand this ss over to their Fleet Admiral.
After all, the Fleet Admiral already had one Warlord staying at his ho. What was one more?
At this thought, Momonga felt a wave of relief and straightforwardly said.
"Hancock, I'll take you to et the Fleet Admiral right now."
"et him now?"
Hearing that Momonga was taking her to see Orion imdiately, Hancock, who had been willful and spoiled just a mont ago, unexpectedly showed a hint of shyness. Covering her face, she bashfully said.
"This humble one… hasn't prepared herself ntally yet."
"What are you thinking?!"
Startled by Hancock sudden display of shyness, Momonga quickly distanced himself, his eyes wide. One hand gripped his thigh, while the other tightly held a dagger. He exclaid in frustration.
"I'm taking you to et the Fleet Admiral, not to a blind date!"
"Did… did this humble one say sothing wrong?" Hancock covered her face, which was flushed from whatever scenario she had imagined and looked at Momonga with innocent eyes.
"Enough with your nonsense, follow !" Momonga didn't dare to et Hancock gaze.
After throwing out these words, he decisively turned around.
....
anwhile.
At the family quarters, the Fleet Admiral residence.
Gunko, who had arrived ahead of Hancock and Momonga, didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose to Orion.
Learning that Gunko had co under Im orders and wanted to participate in his yet-to-be-launched transformation plan, Orion, who was wielding a hoe to clear the vegetable garden in the yard, blinked in surprise.
He then handed the hoe to Sakazuki beside him and replied off-topic.
"You used the teleportation array just for this trivial matter?"
As he spoke, Orion pointed in the direction of the headquarters building.
"Yes!" Gunko didn't show any embarrassnt despite being sent flying by the Conqueror's Haki stored in the seal. She said seriously.
"Lord Im wants to know what this transformation plan is all about!"
Orion nodded. "No problem. Since you're here, you might as well experience it firsthand!"
Before the words had fully left his mouth, Orion picked up a sickle nearby and tossed it over.
"Help cut the weeds in the yard. This is part of the plan. Consider it a warm-up."
"???????"
Gunko looked down at the sickle that had landed at her feet, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly beneath the bandages.
'I ca all the way from the Holy Land, and not only did you not arrange a place for to stay, but you're also making cut weeds? I'm a mber of the God's Knights!'
Though she thought this in her heart, Gunko didn't dare to voice it out loud.
First, she was worried about being sent flying again. Second, Sakazuki, a Navy Admiral, was sweating profusely as he swung the hoe and Orion had already turned his attention to fixing the fence.
If even Orion himself and an Admiral were doing such tasks, cutting so weeds didn't seem so out of place.
After a brief silence, Gunko took a deep breath and decisively activated her Devil Fruit ability. With a flick of her sleeve, a bandage flew out and wrapped around the sickle handle.
Instantly, the sickle seed to gain a mind of its own, flying at an astonishing speed and cutting down the weeds in the yard in swathes.
Orion glanced sideways but didn't stop her. After securing the fence in front of him, he imdiately stood up and called out to Mihawk, who was lounging under a parasol across the yard like a boss, reading a newspaper.
"MITARO, co help with the fence!"
"!!!!!"
The sudden ntion of "Mitaro" nearly broke Mihawk composure.
He reacted sharply, gripping the hilt of the supre-grade sword standing beside him, then turned his head to fix Orion with his hawk-like, piercing eyes, clearly ready to draw his blade if Orion dared to call him that again.
Seeing Mihawk reaction, Orion shrugged slightly and said.
"If you don't want to call you that nickna, then put down that newspaper and co help. Otherwise, not only will I call you that every day, but I'll also issue a bounty poster with the na 'Mitaro' and mark it below, 'Forrly known as Dracule Mihawk'!"
Hearing this, Mihawk facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.
He must have been out of his mind back then, feeling inexplicably compassionate and helping Orion, who was stranded on a deserted island. He helped, but of all people, he had to help such a scheming young man!
What happened to repaying kindness with kindness?
After all, he was the world's greatest swordsman!
And now he was being asked to fix a fence?
If the Marine Headquarters reporters saw this and took photos, how could he ever maintain his reputation in the Grand Line?
Though he had a thousand reasons to refuse, Mihawk took a deep breath, put down the newspaper, and walked over.
Just as Mihawk joined the "labor," Momonga arrived at the gate of the yard with Hancock.
As soon as he reached the gate, Momonga was stunned by the scene in the yard. Admiral Sakazuki was enthusiastically wielding a hoe to dig the ground, while the God's Knight mber Gunko skillfully and swiftly trimd the grass and trees with a sickle wrapped in bandages.
Even the world's greatest swordsman was crouched in front of a fence, reinforcing it alongside the Fleet Admiral?
'What on earth was going on???'
Momonga eyes widened in shock, unsure whether he should interrupt.
"This, this—"
After a brief ntal shutdown, Momonga stamred for a mont before suddenly snapping back to reality. Without hesitation, he took off his Vice Admiral coat, rolled up his sleeves, and rushed over to Orion, exclaiming excitedly.
"Fleet Admiral, how could I let you handle this? Leave it to —I'm an expert at building fence walls!"
"Momonga?" Orion was montarily stunned, a look of confusion on his face. "Haven't you left yet?"
"The mission already completed!" Momonga pointed to the tall figure standing outside the courtyard gate.
Seeing this, Orion quickly turned to look.
Outside the courtyard, Hancock was also in a state of disarray. Apart from the woman wearing underwear on the outside and half her face wrapped in bandages, everyone in the courtyard was familiar to her.
But what they were doing was sothing she couldn't wrap her head around, no matter how hard she tried.
"Tsk tsk tsk, truly the world's most beautiful woman!"
The mont Orion turned to look at Hancock, his eyes lit up and he didn't hesitate to give her thumbs up. Then, he stood up, brushed the dirt off his hands, and waved to Hancock outside the courtyard gate.
"What are you staring at? Co in and help!"
Before Hancock could react, Orion walked over to the eaves, picked up two wooden buckets, and returned to her. He casually placed a carrying pole on her shoulders, which had been leaning against the gate.
"You know how to carry water, right? There's a well in the backyard. Hurry up and fetch so—I need it soon."
"??????????"
Hancock brain was practically smoking. The scene she had imagined in her mind monts ago was now completely shattered. Reflexively steadying the pole on her shoulders, she blinked in confusion and stamred.
"I… I don't know how to carry water."
Orion shook his head with a warm smile.
"With your height, it'd be a waste if you couldn't carry water!"
Before he could finish speaking, Orion turned to the mber of the God Knights who had just finished cutting the grass.
"Gunko, go teach Hancock. There are two more buckets by the well!"
Hearing this, Gunko who had just put down her sickle and was about to take a break, nearly exploded on the spot.
"How could I possibly know how to do that? I'm a mber of the God Knights!"
Orion blinked. "Should I send you away, then?"
"You—" Gunko was so angry she felt like her period had co early.
"Give the pole!"
