Chapter 515: Bathing at the Amazon Lily
Approximately two days later, at the outer sea of the Calm Belt, Amazon Lily.
On the surface of the sea there, a standard-issue Marine warship is anchored. Adjacent to the warship lies a gigantic sea king that has been slain, its blood nearly dyeing the entire sea red.
The deceased sea king was the accomplishnt of Vice-Admiral Momonga aboard this vessel. Although the bottom of the Marine ship is covered with Kairoseki, preventing it from drawing the attention of sea kings lurking beneath the seas surface, this safety asure isnt foolproof. Occasionally, sea kings from the depths of the Calm Belt, their nesting ground, unwittingly approach the surface and might notice the Marine vessels, leading to an attack.
After slaying this sea king, Momonga has been waiting on the ships deck.
He was sent here on orders from the Marine Headquarters to pick up the Shichibukai, Boa Hancock. However, n are not allowed near Amazon Lily, and, unfortunately for them, the Kuja Pirates, under Boa Hancocks lead, have already set sail for a hunt. Thus, Momonga can only wait here.
In fact, hes been waiting here for two days!
At that mont, a Marine soldier suddenly rushed to report the discovery of the Kuja Pirates ship on the seas surface. They have returned!
Momonga swiftly stood up, gripping his sword, and moved to the ships railing.
The Kuja Pirates ship, still being pulled by those two ferocious sea serpents, is clearly approaching the Marine warship. Its evident that the Kuja Pirates have also noticed the Marine vessel and are heading in this direction.
As the two ships drew near, Momonga shouted towards the Kuja Pirates vessel, Weve been waiting for you. Finally, the Kuja Pirates have returned. I am Vice-Admiral Momonga from the Marine Headquarters, here to retrieve you, Boa Hancock, one of the Shichibukai. Weve been ordered to enforce your compulsory summons!
However, Momongas declaration was t with mockery from the female warriors of the Kuja Pirates.
Weve already given our answer countless tis. Unfortunately, the Snake Princess wont co out!
So, this is a man? Quite tasteless, shouting so loudly
Glaring at the Kuja female warriors, Momonga continued, This summons to the Shichibukai is a strict directive from the World Governnt. Refusal ans breaching the agreent. The title and privileges of the Seven Warlords will be revoked. Boa Hancock, even in this scenario, you still refuse to appear?
Perhaps upon hearing Momongas words, Boa Hancock finally erged from the ships cabin.
Still as stunning and graceful as ever
So, youve co. Such ddleso folks Boa Hancock stood at the bow of the ship, one hand on her waist, gently arranging her luscious dark hair. I have no interest in participating in any war. However, I hope you wont strip
of the Shichibukai title. Also, everything on your ship now belongs to !
! Unable to contain himself upon hearing this, Momonga exclaid, Stop daydreaming. Youre not so petulant little girl. Do you think Id entertain such an unreasonable demand?
However, before Momonga could finish speaking, the Marine soldiers, captivated by Boa Hancocks beauty, hastily began carrying all the valuable items from the warship
Momonga had to once again angrily reprimand these foolish subordinates.
Listen up, Boa Hancock! Momonga said with a dark expression. Just two days ago, the Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, was critically wounded by the Blackbeard, Teach. His ti may be running short. Admiral Akainu of the Marine Headquarters has already led a fleet to encircle the Whitebeard Pirates base on an island in the Ed War Seas. They have defeated the Whitebeard Pirates 5th and 6th divisions attempting to break free. For the Marines, this is an unprecedented opportunity. The obligations of the Shichibukai, as outlined in the agreent, state that during a battle between the Marines and the Four Emperors, you must unconditionally follow the Marines command. In the next week, all pirates from Whitebeards territories will co to rescue him. The Marine Headquarters has assembled the three Admirals as the vanguard, preparing to confront the entire Whitebeard Pirates. Now, you have only two choices: either comply with the summons or be stripped of your Shichibukai title!
But I detest the World Governnt and refuse to obey them! Boa Hancock adopted a pitiful expression. Yet, I cherish my title and dont want to lose it. How about this? I encounter a peculiar accident with the Marine ship on the sea, leading to its total destruction
!!!
Upon hearing this statent, Momonga was imdiately alard. However, before he could react, Boa Hancock suddenly clasped her hands in front of her chest, emitting concentric circles of pink light towards the Marine warship.
ro ro llow!
Seeing Boa Hancocks action, Momonga instantly realized the danger and swiftly drew his sword, plunging it into his own thigh.
The pain enabled him to evade being petrified, but the Marines behind him were not as fortunate. Enchanted by Boa Hancocks beauty, they were all transford into stone statues.
Such such fools Momonga muttered, glancing at the petrified soldiers behind him.
Using pain to distract, youre quite clever! Boa Hancock stood before Momonga. But now, youre the only one left. Do you wish to persist?
1 and 0 theyre different! Momonga retorted bitterly.
As you wish! Boa Hancock turned to leave.
However, at that mont, Momonga addressed Boa Hancock, I will wait until the deadline. I wont return empty-handed. If you fail to appear in two days, it ans the agreent is broken.
Boa Hancock glanced at him but said nothing. She departed with the Kuja Pirates towards their island, leaving Momonga stranded alone on the warship. The only companionship he had was the group of petrified, foolish Marine soldiers.
Upon her return to the Citadel of Amazon Lily, Boa Hancocks first action was to bathe.
Although the slave mark on her back had been erased by Ian, her long-standing habits led her to maintain strict vigilance within the inner city.
When the warm water enveloped Boa Hancocks body, she sighed contentedly, then relaxed, enjoying this rare mont. However, at that mont, she suddenly heard a faint dripping sound.
Whos there!? Boa Hancock imdiately beca alert. There shouldnt have been anyone within a two-mile radius while she was bathing!
However, to her surprise, as she turned to look towards the sound, she was stunned. A very familiar figure was crouched in a corner of the pool, staring at her with eyes fixed, a red liquid dripping from under their nose.
I Ian!? Upon recognizing the face, Boa Hancock was suddenly thrown into chaos. Holding a towel to cover her chest, her cheeks flushed, and she stamred,
Wh-What are you doing here!?
Uh Ian wiped his nose, feeling a bit awkward. I ca to find you. I heard you were going to bathe, so I waited here in advance, wanting to have a private eting with you. But I didnt expect you to be so quick
Ian truly wasnt intending to spy. He just hadnt anticipated that while Boa Hancock entered the bath, she was already undressing. Ian had even forgotten to speak up to stop her
Being spoken to by Ian, Boa Hancock didnt know how to react. Eventually, it was Ian who collected himself first and turned away, saying, You put your clothes on first.
After Boa Hancock shyly dressed, Ian turned back. However, seeing Boa Hancock with damp hair and emitting a mist of moisture, Ian couldnt help feeling another nosebleed impulse.
A gorgeous lady such as Hancock is always breath-taking, whether dressed or undressed.
Once the slightly awkward atmosphere settled, Boa Hancock suddenly rembered and asked Ian anxiously, A few days ago, when I was at sea, I heard the news that the Marine Headquarters revoked your Shichibukai title. Is that true?
Yes, it is, Ian nodded.
Why would they do that!? Boa Hancock exclaid indignantly. Is it because of the compulsory summons?
