Chapter 713

Granny Zha came up to Hancock, and seeing Hancock's unhappy expression, she smiled and said, "How about it, little girl? You've suffered a loss, haven't you? You're so arrogant now, always immersed in your own world, unaware of how much the outside world has changed. Even Lord Chen Fan doesn't know who deserves it, you brat!"

"Shut up, you old hag! Or I'll turn you to stone again!" Hancock yelled at her Granny Zha.

"Come on, if you dare! Come on!" Granny Zha ran up behind Chen Fan and challenged Hancock.

Hancock took a deep breath to calm herself down, then said to Chen Fan, "Remember, you said you'd grant me one request: come with me to the Imperial Palace!" She then walked towards the Imperial Palace. The women from the Nine Snake Pirate Ship scrutinized Chen Fan closely; this man had just shocked them greatly. Who exactly was he?

Chen Fan smiled and waved to the group. Seeing that they were almost done, Chen Fan followed behind and turned to the girls, saying, "Sorry everyone! It seems we don't have time tonight! It's such a shame, we could have had a wonderful night."

Those women who had previously thought Chen Fan was alright couldn't help but shake their heads. Chen Fan was actually a lecherous wolf. How could such a lecherous wolf escape from the Snake Princess's grasp? It seems his taste really is questionable.

Chen Fan quickly followed Hancock to the Imperial Palace. Granny Zha also came along. Hancock looked at Granny Zha and said, "You old hag, why did you come along? Did I give you permission to come in?"

"You brat, how rude! If I hadn't come, would you even know who this gentleman in front of you is?" Granny Zha said to Hancock with a displeased expression.

Hancock and her two sisters suddenly realized they didn't even know who Chen Fan was; Chen Fan's summoning of the Sea King had truly stunned them.

Hancock looked at Chen Fan and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"Well...! If I were to introduce myself, I could only say that I am an upright, kind, brave, pure..."

Hancock interrupted Chen Fan's boasting and asked Granny Zha, "Who exactly is this pervert?"

Granny Zha recounted everything Chen Fan had done recently. Chen Fan had risen like a comet, becoming the pirate with the highest bounty in the first half of the Grand Line. The World Government's bounty of 500 million Beli shocked the three Hancock sisters, as Hancock's bounty was only 80 million Beli. What shocked them even more was that this man named Chen Fan hadn't shown off his ability to summon so many colossal Sea King; he had relied entirely on his own strength.

After hearing Granny Zha said, Hancock suddenly remembered that the name Chen Fan seemed a little familiar. The World Government seemed to have sent an invitation not long ago to discuss the new Shichibukai. However, she found it boring and didn't listen carefully, so she casually hung up. In her daze, she seemed to think that the name Chen Fan had been mentioned on the other end of the phone.

So that's how it is. Chen Fan is the one who defeated Crocodile and then Crocodile Vice Admiral from the Navy's encirclement. His strength is indeed extraordinary.

"Well... it's nothing to be proud of, so what are your conditions?" Chen Fan asked, sitting in a chair and taking a bite out of an apple.

"I would like to invite you to be the new ruler of Amazon Lily!!"

"Bang!" Chen Fan's mouth dropped open, and the apple fell from Chen Fan hand, rolling to Hancock's feet...

Chapter 202 The Mark

(Chapter 202 The Mark)

(Hey...! Author, what kind of plot twist is this? You're courting death! Chen Fan shouted in his heart, "Well, too bad I can't hear you.")

Chen Fan was genuinely shocked by Empress Hancock's words. What was she trying to do? What did she want to achieve? Chen Fan couldn't quite understand this woman's thoughts.

Chen Fan broke out in a cold sweat and said, "You've taken this joke way too far."

"Well... it was just a joke!" Hancock said with a nonchalant expression;

"Thump!" Chen Fan fell to the ground. This woman was definitely retaliating against him for summoning Little One to scare her earlier.

Chen Fan got up and sat back down in the chair, saying, "So what are your conditions? If you keep playing games with me, I won't play along anymore." Chen Fan had been unconscious for days, and taking care of Chen Fan had been a hassle, likely done by those women. Chen Fan would naturally help them if he could, which was why he agreed to the Empress's conditions. On the other hand, it was also to give Hancock a way out, since Chen Fan had just threatened their country's highest leader.

Hancock sighed and said, "I am the leader of Amazon Lily Island. Although I always say that I can be forgiven even if the country is destroyed because of me, it's all a lie. Even if I were forgiven by others, I could not forgive myself. The island was protected by the Calm Belt, a natural shield. But the Navy's technology has become increasingly advanced, Calm Belt now allows them to travel freely. The Calm Belt has disappeared. This country is only preserved because of my title Shichibukai title, the country's life will come to an end."

"So you saw that I could command colossal Sea King and that's why you set your sights on me, is that it?" Chen Fan continued, picking up where Boa Hancock left off.

"Yes!" Boa Hancock readily admitted, "You possess the ability to control Sea King, which adds another layer of protection to this country. Even if the title of Shichibukai is stripped, as long as we possess these colossal Sea King, the country will surely be preserved. That's my condition." She called herself Shichibukai, but she was merely a pirate who didn't even dare enter the New World. Countless powerful pirates existed in the New World. The country might appear prosperous on the surface, but danger could strike at any moment, after all, these people were just a group of women.

"Snake Princess! I never imagined you were also thinking about the safety of the island. That's wonderful! In recent years Granny Zha Snake Princess, bouncing back and forth on her cane.
