Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Chapter 183 Escape is not defeat, but victory!

The affection was completely beyond expectations, even for a shameless goddess like Aqua, it was a bit too much for her.

This was the first time that she felt chills running down her spine and had an emotion called fear because of the enthusiastic and pious gaze of her fans!

As soon as Hancock said this, without activating the fruit's ability, Meow Meow and King's expressions froze and they were "petrified" on the spot.

A beautiful woman with such a strong and domineering aura actually wants to be with Aqua...

marry?

They once again saw the diversity of species in the pirate world.

"Oh, Majiya Bakunai." Kangna exclaimed in confusion.

"Guo, are you still too anxious? Let's talk about the wedding tomorrow."

Hancock, who had regained his composure a little, bit his thumbnail with a look of pain on his face.

As if he had made a very difficult decision, he spoke slowly: "If possible, can you have a good talk with me, Lady Aqua."

She has absolute confidence in her own charm, and even if she is a woman, she will inevitably fall.

Therefore, when she saw that Aqua was still indifferent to her request for marriage and even had disgust written on her face, this not only did not make her feel lost and painful, but instead strengthened her determination:
Sure enough, the man I admire is different from everyone else!
After all, he is the shrewdest Shichibukai in the pirate world. I have to say that compared to the silly love-minded image in the original work, the real Hancock has a little more scheming.

"What's the point of marrying you, bastard? Not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, not forever! I'm a goddess, the goddess of water who is above me!!"

Aqua was so panicked that she even spoke in dialect. With her IQ, it was naturally impossible for her to discover the details in Hancock's words, so she refused very excitedly and firmly.

"This is not a good place to talk. Come inside the restaurant."

Suddenly, a steady voice floated out slowly.

That's Lin Zhi's voice!
Hearing this, Hancock, who was immersed in the dual emotions of the joy of seeing his idol and the fear of becoming a slave, contracted his beautiful eyes violently.

Looking back, he saw that the male creature that he had petrified when he came into contact with him just now returned to normal and walked slowly over like a normal person!
"How is this possible? That man removed Lady Snake's ability?"

"How on earth did he do it? How can there be any man in the world who can resist the charm of Lady Snake?!"

The members of the Nine Snakes Pirates who had been following Hancock for many years all looked like they had seen a ghost.

The two sisters, Boya, were even more shocked by the scene in front of them, and their eyes jumped out.

Even if it was clear that Hancock's visit was not hostile, according to Lin Zhi's cautious and declining character, it was impossible to put himself in a state of being unable to act and let his partners with insufficient intelligence bear unknown risks.

He is still very self-aware and knows that it is difficult to withstand Hancock's charm with just his insignificant courage that has just awakened the Overlord Color.

As for the method, some clues can be seen from the slightly heaving chest due to the huge physical exertion.

——The second before he was petrified, he controlled the accuracy and used the ability to go back in time on himself in advance!
Full of shock, Hancock left all his cadres on the Perfume Serpent, taking only his two sisters, Sanda Sonia and Marigold, and followed Lin Zhi into the restaurant on the first floor.

After confirming that the other party was not an enemy, Miao Miao poured a cup of hot tea for each of the three sisters.

"Man, how did you do that?!" Hancock said coldly while sitting on the pet snake.

Just from the title, we can tell that she is a little more dignified and serious about Lin Zhi, who can release his fruit power.

Lin Zhi, who was slightly tired, just smiled indifferently and did not explain the specific reason, leaving the questions for Hancock to guess.

It was the appearance of Marigold, the blond lady, that made him a little surprised.

This image is completely different from the big fat snake ten years later!

"Before that, I think you should first tell me why you came to us, right? Your Majesty belongs to the Shichibukai, the Pirate Empress Boya Hancock."

Lin Zhi adjusted his slightly disordered breathing and stared closely at Hancock's eyes.

This is a unique trick he discovered by accident.

Just looking at these eyes with the same color as Aqua's, for some reason, my mind becomes extremely pure.

The more this happened, the tighter Hancock's slender brows became.

In this sea, there are not many guys who have the courage to look directly at their beauty, but those are the great pirates who have been famous for a long time, and their domineering power is amazing.

For someone so young, this man in front of me is still the first!
Lin Zhi's words also made Aqua and the others look stern: Another King of the Shichibukai?

Since the Shampoo Islands incident, in just a few days, they had encountered three great pirates with such titles!

People are afraid of being famous just as pigs are afraid of being strong. What Lin Zhi said makes sense...

"I made it very clear just now that I came here this time just to see with my own eyes what an outstanding person Aqua-sama is who killed the Celestial Dragon."

Hancock put away his shock towards Lin Zhi, raised his hand to brush away his long black hair, and focused on Aqua again.

If it were normal, Aqua, who would easily get carried away when she hears someone praising herself as "excellent" in such a respectful tone, was already laughing happily.

But now, being stared at by Hancock's intense gaze, she was more restless.

The goddess of water, who denounced the sky, the earth, and the air, finally had someone to fear.

"Of course, as Aqua-sama's companions, the men who participated in the attack on the Celestial Dragons can barely be considered individuals."

Hancock added casually.

Lin Zhi, who knew Hancock, knew very well that such an evaluation was actually very good to her.

But partners are different.

"Whatever you call it, it's a human being. I'm an upright Pokémon, Meowth!" Meowth immediately jumped out to retort.

"Kanna, you are also a very ferocious dragon!" Kanganna stretched out her little finger and pointed at Hancock, uniting the front with Meowth.

Only the silent king's mouth twitched slightly.

As an ordinary human being, he felt the deep malice of a world rich in species.

Born to be human, I'm sorry...

"So, what does it have to do with you, a pervert, if we kill the Celestial Dragons?"

Aqua couldn't help but asked loudly, with no intention of giving Hancock any face.

She really wanted to figure out why she had an extra fiancée for no reason!
"Aqua-sama, may I ask you the reason why you attacked the Celestial Dragons?" Just mentioning the three words "Celestial Dragons" caused a look of pain and confusion on Hancock's pretty face.

Her eyes flashed as she looked at Aqua, with deep anticipation.

"Isn't it normal for those scum who claim to be gods but wantonly torture and kill their own people to be beaten away?"

Thinking of the Celestial Dragons she met in Shampoo Land, Aqua waved her fist and blurted out without hesitation, "There is no need for a reason to beat up guys like this. I just see them being unhappy!"

As the goddess of water who is loved by believers, the focus of her words is "god", but in the ears of the three Boya sisters, it was a different kind of shock.

A touch that made them burst into tears in an instant!
That's a dragon man!
The nobles of the whole world, even if they are slightly injured, need the protection of the navy admiral. They are as unshakable as the supreme existence of the Red Earth Continent!
After receiving an answer that exceeded his expectations, Hancock could no longer remain calm.

Although her body continued to tremble and she instinctively resisted recalling the painful hell experience, she bit her nails and finally let go of her last guard and decided to open her heart.

If it were such a great Aqua-sama and her companions, maybe...

"Lord Aqua, you just said that killing a Celestial Dragon has nothing to do with me."

Hancock took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and asked the pet snake to turn around and face Aqua with his back.

As her slender fingers waved, the purple cheongsam slipped off, revealing her flawless and beautiful back.

On it, there is a bright red and dazzling mark - the "Celestial Dragon's Hoofprint" representing the Celestial Dragon slaves!
……

"I, I have been waiting for you all this time. People like you, Lord Aqua, thought it would take an extremely long time. I didn't expect that I would be so lucky."

After recounting the encounter with difficulty, Hancock covered his face with his trembling palms, and two lines of crystal tears overflowed from his fingers.

Behind them, Sandasonia and Marigold were slumped on the ground and sobbing continuously, as if all their strength had been drained away.

"What, that's all."

Surprisingly, Aqua was unmoved after hearing the experiences of several people and ate the potato chips leisurely.

As a goddess who guides the dead in the world, she has seen too many experiences similar to the three Hancock sisters, and even things more tragic than them are commonplace.

So, she didn't show many obvious mood swings.

In fact, not only Aqua, but also King Meowth, Kangna, and Brooke, who has lived for decades, are also very aware of the darkness that exists in the world, and they just maintain a solemn expression of silence.

After finishing the potato chips, Aqua clapped her hands, stood up and walked to the three Boya sisters who were crying.

Originally, she didn't want to deal with a few people, especially there was a pervert among them who wanted to marry her.

But thinking of the firm and pious eyes they looked at him, the idiot goddess finally recognized their qualifications as believers.

Since she is a believer in the Axis Cult, she has no choice but to ignore it.

"No matter which world there are, there are such damn scumbags. If you want revenge, then be serious, because those who believe in this goddess can do anything as long as they are serious. If you can't, don't blame yourself. If you want to blame it, blame the world.”

"If you just don't have the courage to face it, then just run away. Running away is not a loss, but a victory!"

The goddess with a rare serious expression said this.

Even the sunlight outside was very cooperative through the window, shining on that delicate side face, which looked very sacred - of course, provided that you don't pay attention to the weird creed.

"Escape is not defeat, but victory..."

Hancock murmured in a low voice, repeating Aqua's words just now.

Tens of seconds later, as if she had figured something out, she swept away her decadence and weakness, stood up firmly, and resumed her arrogant and fierce posture as the Pirate Empress.

"I know what to do, Aqua-sama, thank you very much for the courage you gave me!"

Seeing this, Aqua nodded appreciatively and pulled out the Axis Cult leaflet from the crack in her chest with ease.

"Believe firmly in this goddess, you will be reborn from now on~" She smiled brightly.

"Ah! Ah! This, this is yours and my concubine's marriage certificate. Is this your marriage certificate?!"

Hancock was so confused that his face turned red and his eyes turned red. The image of the empress that he had managed to maintain collapsed once again.

"What a marriage certificate? This is an application form from the Axis Cult!!" Aqua burst into tears.

Sure enough, she still had no way to deal with such an affectionate and passionate strange woman like Hancock!

In any case, Hancock finally became a new general of the Axis Cult, and along with it, he also had a lot of respect for Lin Zhi, Aqua's partner.

Until Hancock reluctantly took his two sisters and the pirate cadres back to the Perfume Snake and embarked on the return journey to the daughter country, Lin Zhi didn't interrupt and remained silent the whole time.

Although the plot didn't develop as I expected, and in terms of mental state, Hancock would probably become more, um, weird?
But judging from the ending, the fact that the Nine Snakes Pirates have become the strongest allies of the Sea Restaurant can be considered a complete conclusion.

The joining of the Nine Snakes Pirates represents the joining of the Amazon Lily Nation of combatants from across the country, and even the relationship between Rayleigh Shachi and them will become more subtle.

The combat effectiveness of the entire large team has directly risen to a level!
That's enough. As for who killed the Draco, it doesn't seem particularly important. Hancock will know it sooner or later anyway.

At this point, the brief episode of encountering the Nine Snakes Pirates has come to a complete conclusion.

The restaurant on the sea continued to break through the waves and headed towards its destination, the Capital of Seven Waters.

At the same time, on the island very close to them, Kizaru, who had finally completed the handover of pirates, retired.

After handing the pirates and the warship to his adjutant to escort them back to the underwater prison, he looked up at the sun that was about to set over the sea in the distance, and stretched lazily.

"It's almost time to get off work. It's too late to rush to the Seven Waters Capital now. Let's cut the uncut nails first and then go there tomorrow."

The sea breeze blew the yellow-edged cloak of justice. Not only his movements, but Kizaru's voice also sounded lazy, without any enthusiasm that a candidate for a navy admiral should have.

If the ghost of negativity passes through his body, he will probably have to go on strike and find a place to hide, drink tea and fish...

"You actually said it directly! Even being lazy is super cool, Lieutenant General Kizaru!"

Next to him, young recruits from the former navy branch exclaimed in admiration.

Kizaru, who took out the nail clippers, turned his eyes, and his slightly lewd gaze fell on him:

"This is not about laziness, young guy. I have to face all kinds of vicious criminals every day. If I don't maintain my condition well, I will easily encounter those guys who are as strong as monsters. ."
