In the windless sea area, there is an island called ‘Ruskaina’, also known as ‘Forty-eight Seasons Island’.
Hancock is leading the Nine Snakes Pirates in training.
In the history of less than 800 years ago, there was once a human kingdom on the island of Ruskaina, but in the end it was defeated by nature and was destroyed by the huge ancient beasts. This island also became the ancient beasts.
of heaven and earth.
The beasts on this island are far from comparable to the uninhabited island where the monster family stayed when they were young.
Among the beasts here, any being in the middle of the food chain can run rampant in the "Paradise".
Even the Nine Snakes clan, who are a fighting nation, are quite afraid of the beasts on this island and have never gone deep into this island.
However, things have changed since a few years ago.
Ever since the Queen of Kuja Island gained a nominal brother, she began to lead the Kuji Pirates gradually towards the depths of Ruskai.
In Hancock's view, the Nine Snakes Pirates can be regarded as the sister group of the Monster Pirates that has not been exposed to the world. After all, the three leading sisters are all Kazan's nominal sisters.
It's not okay to be too weak.
"One-sama, do you want to go back to the shore?"
Marigold gasped and glanced at Hancock, who was looking a little embarrassed in front.
The three sisters had just experienced a big battle, fighting five extremely huge ancient elephants.
Among them, Hancock was able to defeat three of them by himself, but the injuries he suffered were minimal, but the cost was a bit high, and the giant elephant's skin was too thick.
"What? Mary, this won't work?"
Hancock, who smoothed his hair and regained his elegant posture, looked at Marigold next to him with some dissatisfaction.
In the past few years, Marigold has also lost weight and become stronger under Hancock's supervision. Now she has grown into a slim beauty that matches the potential she had when she was a child.
Of course, this is while ignoring the opponent's height of 4.3 meters.
At this height, only Dibalu and Niuniu in the entire monster family are taller than her.
"Hey, I heard there is a special issue of the newspaper today, Onai-sama."
The green-haired Sandasonia came over to help Marigold.
"Nani?! Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Hancock was startled, and she quickly opened her long legs and ran towards the coast. A giant bear of more than 20 meters ran out in the middle and was pierced by her casual kick. Even the fruit power was useless: "Get out of here."
!Beast, you actually delayed me for a second. Sanda, Mary, take this smelly bear with you, it will be our dinner today."
Sandasonia and Marigold looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and together they took the fallen bear and chased it in the direction Hancock left.
The Nine Snakes pirates who were resting on the shore saw Hancock rushing towards them and immediately handed over the newspaper they had just delivered in a tacit understanding.
No one dared to watch it until Hancock watched it.
No girl in the entire Kuja Pirates dared to get the news about Kazan before Hancock, otherwise Hancock would have a bad temper and bully others.
"Oni sama!"
As soon as he saw Kazan's photo in the newspaper, Hancock immediately got excited and twisted his long legs together.
It's not like, it's not love, it's an emotion similar to that of a girl chasing stars.
"Kirla-chan seems to be living a good life and her body is developing well."
Hancock will always pay more attention to Kerra than to other people, after all, the two people once had the same identity and situation.
"Lord She Ji, what did it say?"
Seeing Hancock glance at him for the first time, the remaining little girls of the Nine Snakes Pirates approached him without any scruples, stretching their heads to stare at the newspaper.
"Five five five five...Five Emperors?!"
"The underground world is completely unified by the monster family?!"
"Fight with the admiral and become invincible?!"
"Dressrosa has hung up the monster family's pirate flag?"
"Eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa one use that or--sama or the other or Sama-sama!"
...
"Of course! Who do you think 'Red Eyes' is? That's my Onii-sama!"
Listening to the exclamations of the crew members in his ears, Hancock proudly raised his upper body back, stared at the crew members with his nostrils, pointed at them with one index finger, and pinched the newspaper tightly with the other finger.
"Hmph! When we go back, we will also hang up the Monster Family's pirate flag and place it next to our Nine Snakes pirate flag."
Hancock bit his thumb and looked unconvinced at the content about Dressrosa in the newspaper, his chest shaking with anger.
"Huh?!" xn
"But... Granny New will not agree, and our Nine Snakes clan has never had such a precedent."
"It will be available in a few days."
Hancock is an extremely willful empress. She doesn't care what her girls say. Even if she values them, she will not change her decision: "Okay, you guys have had enough rest. Let's continue practicing."
"Eh!"
“Today’s practice time is twenty minutes less than usual!”
"Lord Snake Ji, I'm so tired~"
"Dah ah ah ah..."
Hancock ignored how his crew howled and walked straight into the depths of the forest.
Hancock turned around with a slightly cold expression. In addition to what she just said, she also noticed a piece of news.
[The strongest ‘Red Eyes’ in the new era and the strongest ‘Whitebeard’ in the old era may break out in a battle at any time! 】
We need to hurry up to improve our strength.
Hancock stepped forward, his eyes extremely determined.
The terrifying ancient uninhabited island in front of her no longer posed much of a threat in her eyes.
She knew very well that Kazan's goal was to be the strongest in the world.
Then a fight with the world's strongest "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate is inevitable.
At that time, it may not be a battle between two people, but a brutal battle between two large pirate groups.
The combat power of the Whitebeard Pirates is visible to all across the sea. Excluding those in the underground world, the monster family cannot compare with the remaining maritime overlords from the previous era in terms of numbers or high-end combat power.
Hancock does not intend to let the monster family fight alone in this situation. When the time comes, she will definitely find an excuse to reasonably intervene in the battle and live and die with Katsun.
She already had a solution in mind.
Moreover, there are more powerful enemies after the Whitebeard Pirates.
The whole world government.
Hancock took a deep breath and calmed down his somewhat tense heart.
