Senga and Hancock finally discovered Elder Nyon had been a stone statue for a long time.
Looking at the shocked statue of Elder Nyon, Senga asked curiously,
"Hancock, did you just use your ability?"
Hancock also looked puzzled. She shook her head and said,
"No, I did not use any abilities."
Senga got out of bed, went to the stone statue of Elder Nyon, and gently tapped Elder Nyon's head twice with a finger, making two thuds.
Judging from the feel of it just now, the stone statue is of good quality; at least its hardness is not an issue.
Hancock leaned against the headboard, amused by Senga's actions, and said softly,
"Lord Senga, please move Elder Nyon to my bedside so I can see what's going on."
"Um."
Senga did not move the statue of Elder Nyon. Instead, she returned to Hancock's side and sat down. Then, she released the power of the Deva Path, which made Elder Nyon float up and slowly draw the statue towards Hancock.
Taking advantage of the moment when Elder Nyon floated over, Hancock rested her head on Senga's shoulder again; she really didn't want to leave Senga for even a second longer.
She reached out and touched Elder Nyon's stone statue, then gently tapped it with her finger. A series of pink heart-shaped ripples spread out, and Elder Nyon returned to her original state as a stone statue.
Elder Nyon was still in the same expression she had before she turned into a stone statue. As soon as she recovered, she floated in the air and danced around. Hancock frowned slightly at the sight and even wanted to throw her out the window like she used to.
She had finally managed to have such wonderful time with her beloved Lord Senga, and she didn't want this old woman to ruin it.
But with Senga right beside her, she felt it best to maintain some composure, so she only verbally reprimanded him.
"Can you please be quiet? You're disturbing Lord Senga!"
Senga squeezed Hancock's little hand, signaling her not to be so cold to her Elder Nyon; he didn't care.
Hancock's pretty face turned bright red, and she buried her head in Senga's arms, burying her head in the sand like an ostrich.
Elder Nyon, floating in the air, wasn't angry at Hancock's attitude; she was used to it.
Now she was looking at Hancock and Senga with a maternal smile. In her eyes, the handsome man and beautiful woman looked exceptionally well-matched.
Moreover, Senga is a highly sought-after Marine Admiral in the Navy, and possibly the strongest man in the world. With his protection, Amazon Lily is safer than ever.
Thinking of this, Elder Nyon's expression became very strange. She cupped her large face in her hands and sighed.
"Love is so wonderful! I, too, once had a sweet love affair!"
"..."
Senga was speechless at Elder Nyon's tone. Looking at Elder Nyon's short stature and wrinkled face, he sighed at this wickedly humorous setting in the Pirate World.
That is, in the Pirate World, no matter how beautiful a woman is when she is young, once she gets older, she will undergo a complete 180-degree transformation, becoming as ugly as can be. Vice Admiral Tsuru is alright, but other older women look terrible, like Dadan, the mermaid grandma on the Sea Train, Four Emperors Big Mom, and the Elder Nyon in front of me.
She was, after all, the former, former, former empress of the Amazon Lily; her appearance couldn't possibly be bad, and she certainly wouldn't be this short.
But as she got older, not only did her appearance become extremely exaggerated, but her body shape also seemed to shrink, becoming so short.
There's a saying on Blue Star, "Time never defeats a beauty," but that doesn't apply here at all. Here, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she is defeated—utterly defeated!
Senga couldn't help but think of the women around her. Would they also become like her Elder Nyon in a few decades?
He wouldn't look down on them; it's just that his body has now entered the Otsutsuki state, meaning his lifespan will be much longer than that of ordinary humans, and his aging process will be greatly slowed down.
I can't possibly look incredibly young while all the women around me have turned into old ladies like my Elder Nyon, can I?
Thinking of that scene, Senga shivered involuntarily. Hancock, who was in her arms, thought that Senga was cold and quickly put the blanket she was covering herself on Senga.
Senga gently stroked Hancock's long, black hair, gazing at Hancock exquisite profile. He secretly vowed that he would never let that happen!
He raised his hand and placed it on his right Rinnegan, where one of the Tomoe held the power of the Op-Op Fruit), which would grant him the power to change everything.
Awakening Devil Fruit is incredibly difficult for others, but for Senga, it's as easy as eating and drinking.
He has already Awakening the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the Matatabi Fruit, and the Asura Fruit, so Awakening the Op-Op Fruit shouldn't be too difficult.
The reason he hasn't Awakening yet is because he doesn't have absolute confidence in avoiding the so-called life-for-life exchange that is the anti- Immortality Surgery.
Although he possesses the Dojutsu "Ishichikahime," which has absolute restorative power, releasing "Ishichikahime" requires at least a sliver of consciousness to be retained.
If that life-for-life exchange involves instantly giving up one's own life, then things could get really messed up. He's not yet a fully realized Six Paths Body, and he can't achieve the same level of physical regeneration as Six Paths Madara.
Thinking of this, Senga narrowed his eyes slightly. His left eye was only three Devil Fruit away from being completely filled, at which point his body would definitely evolve again.
He refused to believe that the Immortality Surgery from an Op-Op Fruit could take his life.
Senga stared intently at Elder Nyon, who was floating in the air, his expression shifting rapidly. Elder Nyon didn't dare to breathe, thinking she had offended this Marine Admiral.
Seeing that Senga hadn't reacted for a while, Hancock reluctantly got up from Senga's arms, gently pushed Senga away, and said,
"Lord Senga, what's wrong?"
With Hancock's push, Senga stopped thinking about the Immortality Surgery. He looked at Hancock, who was watching him somewhat uneasily, and playfully hooked her nose with a finger, smiling as he said...
"I'm fine, I'm just thinking about how I can keep you all by my side."
"Us?"
Hancock keenly noticed the "them" in Senga's words, and she remembered seeing Kalifa and Ain when she went to Marine Headquarters.
The two women were also very beautiful, and they were always by Lord Senga. Lord Senga must be referring to them.
As expected, such an outstanding Lord Senga cannot belong to her alone. Although that's what she thought, Hancock couldn't help but feel a little wronged.
Even Hancock herself didn't notice that, as her emotions fluctuated, her long, jet-black hair suddenly started moving without any wind.
