After Senga finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room fell silent again, and Hancock remained unconscious.
The Elder Nyon standing nearby couldn't help but speak up.
"You must be Admiral Purple Kirin. Hancock has always remembered you. Her illness is because..."
Before she could finish speaking, Senga interrupted her, looking at Hancock's sweet face and saying softly,
"I know she's lovesick, and it's because of me. Don't worry, I'll cure her."
Elder Nyon moment, wondering how he knew about the illness, but looking at Hancock on the bed, she shook her head and sighed.
"It's good that you know, but it's too late now. Hancock's illness has lasted too long, and her body is severely overtaxed. Even if she saw you, I'm afraid it would be too late to Rotation."
The thought of Hancock's impending death brought a look of pain to Elder Nyon's face. Although Hancock had been somewhat disrespectful to her, she had never harbored any resentment towards Hancock.
Because she had abandoned her people when she was the queen of the Amazon Lily, Hancock's leniency towards her might actually alleviate her guilt.
Moreover, Elder Nyon knows that Hancock's personality has become rather cold due to her childhood experiences.
But that was just a facade; Hancock was still a kind-hearted girl with a cold exterior, and she had long regarded Hancock as her own daughter.
Watching Hancock suffer from her illness and being powerless to help is a feeling that is worse than killing her.
Senga glanced at her Elder Nyon, who was lost in grief, and offered some words of comfort.
"Things aren't as bad as you think. Now that I'm here, I won't let anything happen to Hancock."
These words did not make Elder Nyon feel any better. She simply shook her head helplessly and said with a bitter expression,
"It's too late. Hancock can't even open her eyes now. What good will it do you to come?"
Senga stared intently at Hancock's face and spoke in an unquestionable tone,
"No, she will wake up."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hancock's beautiful eyelashes began to tremble slightly. Then, something that shocked Elder Nyon happened: Hancock actually woke up, just as Senga had said.
Hancock opened her eyes and stared intently at the face she had longed for so long, so close to hers. Her lips parted slightly, and her voice carried a delicate fragility born of her serious illness.
"Admiral Purple Kirin... am I dreaming? How did you end up here...?"
Senga reached under the covers and found Hancock's cold little hand, gently took it, and used her own hand to send warmth to her.
With his other hand, he gently brushed away the stray hairs that were stuck to Hancock's forehead from her sweat.
After doing all that, Senga looked at Hancock and said gently,
"Just call me Senga. You're not dreaming, I've come to see you."
"Lord Senga, I'm fine. I'm a pirate and you're a Marine. It's not good for you to come and see me!"
As she spoke, Hancock struggled to get out of bed, but her body was too weak to even manage a simple movement.
Who would have thought that the Pirate Empress, renowned throughout the seas, would find herself in such an embarrassing situation?
Senga quickly pressed Hancock's shoulders down, making her lie still on the bed. He then looked at Hancock, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He finally understood why Hancock, despite being so seriously ill, wouldn't let her Elder Nyon tell the Marine Headquarters about her illness.
She was afraid that her identity as a pirate would affect her position in the Navy, so even when she was so sick that she could hardly hold on, she still did not have the slightest thought of informing herself.
When Senga was on Blue Star, she once complained that Hancock was a typical love-struck fool. Why would she make herself so silly for a man? She was hardly like the proud Empress.
But now, Hancock's object of affection has become herself, and the feeling is completely different. Senga looked at Hancock lying on the hospital bed, staring at him intently, and felt her heart tremble.
To put it bluntly, Hancock's behavior is what you'd call sycophantic behavior on Blue Star, but isn't it also a form of deep affection? Besides, the object of her affection is herself!
Senga stroked Hancock's cheek, his voice trembling slightly, a tremor he himself didn't even realize.
"How can you be so stupid? You're Shichibukai, a legitimate pirate under the Navy. What's wrong with reporting something that's so dangerous?"
"But it seems Lord Senga doesn't like the Shichibukai. I think that would bother you, and even if they are Marines, Lord Senga's status doesn't warrant him coming in person... um..."
Before Hancock could finish speaking, Senga sealed her lips with a kiss, Elder Nyon standing nearby, witnessing this, instantly turned into a small stone statue.
It's no exaggeration; she really did turn into a genuine stone statue!
The two, caught up in their entanglement, didn't notice Elder Nyon's condition. After they separated, Senga looked directly into Hancock's vacant eyes and said, word by word,
"The Shichibukai belong to the Navy, but you belong to me Uchiha Senga. From this day forward, no matter what happens to you, I will be by your side. Do you understand?!"
Hearing Senga's domineering words, Hancock nodded mechanically. She felt as if she were in a dreamlike cloud, like a kite with a broken string, drifting up and down in it.
Senga didn't let Hancock remain in a daze any longer. He cupped Hancock's pretty face in his hands, making her face him directly, and then his Rinnegan narrowed slightly Ishichikahime power.
Like rain after a long drought, a cool energy flowed through Hancock's body like a stream, and she couldn't help but let out a cute little moan.
Upon realizing what was happening, Hancock's pretty face flushed bright red, but this time it wasn't a sickly red, but a healthy rosy one.
She dared not look into Senga's eyes again, but lowered her head and helplessly rubbed the corner of the quilt with her hands, looking like a shy young wife.
Senga was relieved to see that Hancock had recovered, but he still told Hancock to rest well and not to get out of bed for the time being.
Because his Ishichikahime only repaired Hancock's body, which was damaged by lovesickness, but the mental torment caused by the illness was even more severe, it would be better for her to rest for a while.
However, with him as the "catalyst," it is believed that Hancock will soon fully recover and once again become the proud Pirate Empress, just like a peacock.
Senga sat down on the edge of Hancock's bed, put an arm around Hancock's shoulder, and let her head rest on his shoulder. The two sat there quietly, enjoying this rare moment.
After an unknown amount of time, Hancock, leaning on Senga's shoulder, suddenly asked softly,
"Lord Senga, have you seen Elder Nyon? Why isn't she moving?"
