Enthusiasm and Doubt, Hancock's Shock!
Inside the palace on Amazon Lily Island.
Outside the side hall.
Groups of women pressed their faces against the doorways and windows, peering inside with curiosity.
"Is that the legendary man? He's definitely different from us!"
"But he's so handsome, even prettier than any of us!"
"A man who can be brought to a gathering by Lady Snake Princess must be quite remarkable."
"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen Snake Princess treat a man with such kindness!"
"I heard he's from the Navy, and he's come to invite Snake Princess Hancock to Marine Headquarters."
"Is that so?"
The chattering of a group of women reached Feng Lei's ears, causing him to secretly shake his head.
Amazon Lily, known as the Amazon Lily, has never been entered by a man.
Many of the island's residents have never seen a man in their entire lives.
Therefore.
Since he landed on Amazon Lily, he has attracted the attention of the women on the island.
Even though Hancock placed him in a side hall of the palace, it couldn't stop these women's passion and curiosity to see a man.
Even the palace guards joined in, commenting on Feng Lei.
Fortunately, because of his handsome appearance, the comments were mostly about his looks and status, and there were no negative comments.
Even so.
Having so many women watching his every move made Feng Lei quite uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he wouldn't stay long, so he simply began practicing the Eight Gates on his own.
But soon...
Feng Lei was speechless upon discovering this.
These women are no longer satisfied with just looking at him.
Seeing that he was practicing meditation, a guard came forward and approached him under the pretext of bringing him water or a towel.
During this process.
The female guard would deliberately wipe her sweat, give her water, and then take the opportunity to touch her and take advantage of her.
After the first one, the second one followed!
Not only the female guards, but other women also used similar excuses to approach him and take advantage of Feng Lei.
In response to this...
Feng Lei felt somewhat helpless.
But the other party meant no harm and was merely curious, so he turned a blind eye!
However.
This leniency emboldened the women, making them even more unscrupulous.
Curiosity and enthusiasm clouded their judgment, and they were not satisfied with simple touches.
Then.
Groups of women, in small groups, kept finding excuses, saying they wanted to serve the Empress's guests well.
They take care of everything from washing your face and taking a bath to changing clothes, and they take advantage of you like crazy!
Every woman who touched Feng Lei's body became incredibly excited.
Feng Lei was immediately at his wit's end!
Not only that.
The news that she could touch men spread beyond the palace, immediately causing a huge reaction.
Many high-ranking officials and wealthy people tried every means to enter the palace, intending to touch men and see what it was like.
And so.
A long queue had formed outside Feng Lei's dormitory!
"I'm so excited! I've never seen a man before!"
"Me too! The thought of touching a man and being able to feel his body makes me incredibly excited!"
"Ah~ When will it be my turn?! I really want to touch Lord Feng Lei too!"
"Lord Feng Lei?"
"Yes, he is Snake Princess's distinguished guest, so it's not wrong for me to call him 'Lady'!"
"Hmm, not bad, Lord Feng Lei!"
"The ones ahead are too slow! Hurry up! I want to touch Lord Feng Lei!"
Various sighs and exclamations could be heard from time to time within the group.
Upon witnessing this scene...
Feng Lei simply couldn't take it anymore!
It's fine to just look!
Taking advantage is one thing, but...
You're all lining up to touch it, and someone's even charging admission—what do you take me for?
Immediately.
Feng Lei made an excuse to go to the restroom and slipped away.
After much thought...
He still decided to go find Hancock and persuade her to go to Marine Headquarters as soon as possible.
At the same time.
Inside Hancock's bedroom in the palace.
Granny Nyon, leaning on her cane, walked into the bedroom with a curious expression.
"How astonishing, Snake Princess! You actually brought a man back with you!"
"I'm very curious, just who is that man?"
Faced with her Granny Nyon's question.
Hancock's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Old woman, don't pry into things you shouldn't be asking!"
"Snake Princess, what's with your attitude? I'm just concerned about you! Don't forget, I'm the one who brought you all back back then."
The Granny Nyon immediately became indignant.
"Yeah yeah!"
Seeing this, Sandersonia and her sister quickly comforted their Granny Nyon.
Hancock curled her lip and said, "You still remember a small favor from back then!"
"You!"
Granny Nyon could speak, Sandersonia quickly interjected, "Granny Nyon, that man was sent by the Marine Headquarters to invite you to the meeting!"
"Huh? It's that simple?"
Granny Nyon calmed down and looked at Hancock suspiciously, but Hancock turned her head away, completely ignoring her.
Seeing this.
Sandersonia continued, "I think he was some kind of [Special Recruit]!"
"[Special Recruit]!?"
Upon hearing this, Granny Nyon immediately showed surprise.
"What's wrong, Granny Nyon? Is there anything special about this [Special Recruit]?"
Not only Sandersonia and her sister, but even Hancock secretly paid attention to the changes in her Granny Nyon's expression.
Granny Nyon said, "It seems the Navy values Boa Snake Princess quite a bit, as they even sent that [Special Recruit] to invite you."
Upon hearing this,
This made the three Hancock sisters even more curious.
The Granny Nyon and explained directly, "This [Special Recruit] program was established by the Marine Headquarters to cultivate top-tier combat power. Every [Special Recruit] student will definitely become Marine Admiral in the future."
"For example, the current Three Admirals were all Special Recruit back then. However, since then, the navy has been lacking in talent, and the position of 'Special Recruit' has been vacant for more than 20 years!"
"I learned from a recent report that a Marine named Feng Lei killed Charlotte Cracker, one of the Four Emperors Sweetheart Four Sweet Commanders, and became a [Special Recruit] of this generation. I never expected that he would invite you to the Shichibukai meeting!"
Hancock and the other two's expressions changed upon hearing this.
Will he become Marine Admiral in the future?
Kill Charlotte Cracker, a high-ranking executive of Four Emperors?
That's a notorious pirate with a bounty of 860 million Beli!
Even they wouldn't dare to provoke them easily.
I never expected Feng Lei would dare to try and kill him!
"No wonder he was able to beat my sister!"
Marigold exclaimed in admiration.
Only.
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and quickly looked at Hancock.
Upon hearing this, the Granny Nyon exclaimed in shock, "He actually managed to defeat the Snake Princess?"
In her opinion, Hancock is stronger than Charlotte Cracker.
How could that navy officer defeat Hancock?
Are this generation of "Special Recruit" students really that strong?
"To have such strength at such a young age is truly terrifying!"
Even the Granny Nyon sighed with emotion.
"I thought his refusal of the Five Elders' orders was just a rumor, but now it seems there's some truth to it!"
She has been keeping a close eye on world events, especially those concerning World Governments.
When I first heard about Feng Lei refusing the Five Elders, I thought it was a complete fantasy.
That's the highest authority in the World Government; who would dare refuse?
Looking at it now...
That's not necessarily true!
The three Hancock sisters were equally shocked to hear that Feng Lei had actually rejected the Five Elders.
As a former slave of the Celestial Dragons.
I know exactly what the Five Elders represent!
Even ordinary Celestial Dragons must treat the Five Elders with utmost respect.
That navy actually dared to refuse such an existence?
