Senga noticed the unusual movement in Hancock's hair, and not only him, but even Elder Nyon was staring at Hancock's hair in surprise.
Her thick, long black hair gradually split into nine strands, resembling nine long black snakes.
Senga frowned as he looked at the nine snake-shaped black hairs. He couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment, but he sensed a familiar fluctuation from the nine black snakes.
Hancock didn't seem to notice the change in her hair. When she saw Senga suddenly frown, she assumed that Senga had noticed her little mood and displeased him.
This terrified Hancock. She was completely focused on Senga right now, and if this caused Senga to develop a dislike for her, it would be worse than death.
The image of Senga looking at her with disgust flashed through Hancock's mind, and she felt a strong sense of suffocation; her face immediately turned ashen.
As expected of Hancock, the genius of imagination, Senga's simple expression change was enough for her to immediately conjure up the ending in her mind.
Senga was also startled by Hancock's change; she was perfectly fine just a moment ago, how could she suddenly look like she had returned to her seriously ill state?
He quickly placed his hands on Hancock's shoulders and shook them twice, then asked,
"Hancock! You look terrible. Are you feeling unwell again?"
Hancock stared blankly at Senga's face, looking very strange, like a soulless puppet, muttering to herself.
"Lord Senga, please don't despise me. It's my fault..."
These words truly baffled Senga. When had she ever said she disliked her?
Senga couldn't understand Hancock's thought process at all. Just as she was about to speak, Hancock's nine separate, flowing snake-like strands of hair suddenly changed again.
The nine long black hairs transformed into deep purple, and their shape was no longer limited to snake form, but completely transformed into nine small deep purple snakes, with the characteristic hissing sound of snakes emanating from their mouths.
Not only her hair changed, but Hancock's appearance also gradually changed.
A golden, crown-like Forehead Protector appeared on her smooth forehead, and her pupils turned into deep purple vertical lines, giving her an unusually sinister look.
Moreover, a pink auspicious cloud ribbon appeared around her body, forming a heart shape behind her.
Elder Nyon was floating behind Hancock, was completely stunned. She couldn't help but exclaim, which caused all nine little snakes to turn around and stare at her.
Stared at by the nine small snakes' chilling gaze, Elder Nyon felt a chill creep up from the depths of her heart. Before she could look away, her body turned into a stone statue once more.
This time, however, her face was filled with fear.
After petrifying Elder Nyon, the nine small snakes turned their heads and stared at Senga, seemingly wanting to use the same trick again to turn Senga into a stone statue as well.
However, Senga merely snorted coldly, and a brilliant purple light Rinnegan. The nine small snakes were instantly struck as if by lightning, their heads drooping, no longer displaying their previous arrogance.
Unlike the nine arrogant little snakes, Hancock herself remained blankly dazed, as if she had no idea what had just happened.
Senga stared into Hancock's eyes and released a faint mental wave using his Rinnegan. Hancock shuddered, and the expression on her face gradually relaxed.
Hancock blinked as she regained consciousness. This time, she finally noticed the strangeness in her body. She caught a glimpse of her hair, which had turned into a snake, and was so frightened that she jumped out of bed.
As she suddenly stood up, she bumped into her Elder Nyon behind her.
Hancock groaned in pain, turned her head, and saw that Elder Nyon had turned into a stone statue again.
Although she still didn't understand how Elder Nyon had turned into a stone statue again, she knew it must be related to her, so she quickly released Elder Nyon from her stone statue state.
Elder Nyon, now recovered, glanced at Hancock with a look of fear, then struggled in mid-air, trying to return to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Senga stopped releasing his Deva Path ability, Elder Nyon plopped down on the bed.
Once on the bed, without saying a word, she grabbed her crutch, jumped off, and disappeared in a flash.
She'd been petrified by Hancock twice in one day, and if she stayed here any longer, she was afraid there would be a third time. Her old bones couldn't take this kind of ordeal!
After Elder Nyon disappeared without a trace, only Senga and Hancock remained in the room.
Senga reached out and pinched a snake head formed from Hancock's hair, examined it for a moment, and then looked at Hancock helplessly and said...
"What's wrong with you just now? You told me not to hate you. When did I say I hated you? Stop making up weird things, okay?"
After Senga said that, Hancock hummed twice in embarrassment. She knew that she had overthought things again, but she couldn't help it. Senga was just too important to her, and she really couldn't bear the consequences of losing Senga.
After giving Hancock a brief talking-to, Senga began to focus her attention on the changes in her body.
He had already guessed the reason for Hancock's physical changes; it was most likely the Awakening of the Love-Love Fruit.
Perhaps it shouldn't be called the Love-Love Fruit anymore; this Awakening state is clearly not what Paramecia should be exhibiting. It's obviously the Awakening of Zoan.
Judging from Hancock's appearance, her real name should be...
Zoan, Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Medusa form.
Senga didn't find the idea of Paramecia Zoan strange at all; after all, the Rubber-Rubber Fruit could also transform into something like the Nika Fruit, right?
When Luffy suddenly transform into Nika Form, he wondered if Robin's Senga no Mi (Flower-Flower Fruit) could also directly create Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Senju Guanyin form.
Furthermore, Senga recalled the appearance of the Love-Love Fruit, which was a cherry-shaped Devil Fruit, but strangely, it was composed of two heart-shaped cherries of different colors!
One is pink, and the other is dark purple.
Based on Hancock's demonstrated abilities, the pink cherry should symbolize the petrifying heart-shaped energy of the Love-Love Fruit.
The deep purple effect must have been what gave Hancock the ability to transform into Medusa.
No wonder Blackbeard went to great lengths, even clashing head-on with the Navy, to obtain Hancock's Love-Love Fruit.
So this guy already knew that the Love-Love Fruit was not as simple as it looked; it was another god-level fruit.
It must be said that you can doubt Blackbeard's character, but you absolutely cannot doubt his eye for choosing Devil Fruit.
