Your urgent business was to take a bath?

"This must be it!"

Feng Lei looked at the tallest building in front of him, which was guarded by soldiers. It must be the palace where Hancock lived.

Without hesitation.

He used "Geppo" to dodge the guards at incredible speed and headed towards a window in the palace.

When Feng Lei stepped into the room through the window.

The room was filled with mist and a faint warmth.

A glance around revealed only a pool of hot water in the otherwise empty room.

Not only that.

Standing in the hot water was a completely naked woman with an extremely graceful figure; her mere back view was enough to make any man's blood boil.

There was a brand on the woman's back that resembled a horseshoe.

"This mark is..."

"No way? What a coincidence?"

When Feng Lei saw this scene, he felt it was extremely familiar.

He actually barged into Hancock's bathtub!

At the same time.

Hancock also noticed the intruder.

"Who?"

She quickly turned around and then squatted down in the pool to hide the mark on her back.

Her voluptuous figure, submerged in hot water, still revealed its surging curves, sparking the imagination.

It's you!

Hancock looked up and gazed ahead.

She never expected that Feng Lei would actually barge in here.

Will he see the mark on my back?

With his abilities, he must have noticed, right?

What to do?

Kill him?

But I'm not strong enough!

For a moment, a sense of fear rose in Hancock's heart.

She was afraid that the Celestial Dragons's slave mark would be seen.

Once that's exposed.

She could no longer stay at Amazon Lily.

Then, all the people of the country will know that she, Hancock, was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons!

Feng Lei admired Hancock's figure, then noticed a hint of fear on her face. He paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.

Is it because he's afraid of seeing that Celestial Dragons slave mark?

"Don't worry, I didn't see anything!"

Feng Lei spoke slowly, his expression calm.

Hancock: "..."

I didn't see anything?

With his abilities, how could that be possible?

But in the blink of an eye...

She then thought of Granny Nyon had said before.

The person before me has rejected the existence of the Five Elders.

What a ruthless person who defied the Celestial Dragons' orders!

Even if he sees it, so what?

"You saw that, didn't you?"

"You were just talking to yourself, mentioning that mark..."

Hancock covered her breasts and stared intently at Feng Lei, wanting to confirm something.

Even if this will reopen her wounds!

It would make her feel utterly ashamed.

Okay! I did see it!

Feng Lei shrugged. The other party seemed unconvinced, so he stopped lying.

Do you know what that means?

Hancock bit her red lips tightly.

"Know!"

Feng Lei nodded.

The words were finished.

A deep fear flashed in Hancock's eyes, followed by a look of pain.

He knew it all along!

Yes!

He's a navy officer, and that "Special Recruit" guy, a future Marine Admiral —how could he not know?

But.

After struggling internally for a moment, she raised her head, looked directly at Feng Lei, and asked a self-deprecating question.

"Hehe, you must be very proud of yourself!"

"I, the Emperor of Amazon Lily, one of the Shichibukai, am actually a slave of the Celestial Dragons!"

After saying that.

Hancock stared intently at Feng Lei's expression.

It seems like they're trying to figure something out!

However.

Feng Lei, however, remained completely unconcerned.

"I already knew all that you're saying."

"You knew all along?"

Hancock was stunned, a hint of disbelief appearing in her beautiful eyes.

She observed Feng Lei's expression and realized that he wasn't lying.

Did the other party already know about his status Celestial Dragons's slave?

That's why he remained so calm?

If they knew all along, why didn't they use this to threaten me when they invited me?

In that case, I definitely wouldn't be able to refuse, would I?

But...

The guy in front of me only uses his strength to make me submit.

Is it because of confidence in one's own abilities?

Still...

An indescribable feeling took root and sprouted in Hancock's heart!

That was a feeling she had never experienced before.

This feeling actually gave her a sense of peace and... happiness!

Splash!

Hancock stood up from the pool.

He stood before Feng Lei completely, without any reservations.

Her snow-white peaks, her slender waist swaying like willow branches, her flawless white legs, and the hot water sliding down her smooth skin made her appear even more charming and alluring!

Even Feng Lei had to admit he was impressed.

Aside from being somewhat neurotic, the empress had no other flaws.

Especially her body.

Absolutely flawless!

Since the other party was so generous, he wouldn't stand on ceremony and began to look them up and down, admiring their beauty with pleasure.

Seeing Feng Lei's appearance.

Hancock didn't show any disgust; she simply stepped out of the pool and took a red bathrobe from the hanger to wrap herself in.

Spring is just beginning!

Feng Lei reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

How did you get here?

At this moment, Hancock spoke.

"Those women are so annoying!"

Feng Lei glanced at Hancock and tentatively asked, "The urgent matter you're returning to the island for isn't just taking a shower, is it?"

Upon hearing this...

Hancock was stunned, looking bewildered as if she had been exposed.

She was just looking for an excuse to take a few days off!

Unexpected.

I was taking a shower when the other person caught me.

"Really!"

Seeing Hancock's embarrassed appearance, Feng Lei understood perfectly.

"Now that you've finished your business, shouldn't you come with me to Marine Headquarters?"

"I will naturally do what I have promised."

Hancock breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Feng Lei didn't press the matter further.

"Let's set off tomorrow then!"

After saying that.

Feng Lei then prepared to turn and leave.

Unexpectedly, Hancock called out to stop her, "Wait!"

"Um?"

Feng Lei turned his head and looked at her.

"If you find staying outside inconvenient, you can stay here tonight. No one will dare to bother you!"

Hancock avoided Feng Lei's gaze and spoke slowly.

"That's a good choice."

Feng Lei did not refuse.

If I go back to my old place, who knows, women might sneak into my room and take advantage of me even when I'm sleeping.

Feng Lei agreed.

Hancock's face lit up with joy.

When Feng Lei followed Hancock out of the bathroom, Sandersonia and Marigold, who were waiting outside the door, were completely dumbfounded!

"Sister, this..."

The two women looked at each other, then turned to Hancock.

Incredible.

There was a man hiding in my sister's bathroom.

Could it be that...

Was my sister bathing with this man earlier?

Hancock knew her two sisters had misunderstood, and for some reason, a secret sense of smugness rose within her.

But outwardly, he explained, "Feng Lei came to urge me to go to the Marine Headquarters!"

Oh, right!

"Arrange a room for him; he'll stay here tonight!"

Heeding Hancock's words.

The two sisters' pupils contracted, and they felt as if their brains couldn't process what they were seeing.

Is he urging you to go to Marine Headquarters from the bathroom?

Besides.

Let him stay here.

This is your bedroom, sister!
