Lovers finally get married!

"Older Sister Lord..."

Seeing Hancock's pained expression, Sander Sonia felt her own heart ache.

Then, she looked at Belladonna beside her and asked, "Belladonna, what illness does my Older Sister Lord have?"

"This..."

Seeing Belladonna's troubled expression, Sander Sonia's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be...?

"It's not what you think, Lady Sander Sonia," Belladonna said. "It's just that I can't figure out what's wrong with Snake Princess."

As she spoke, Belladonna glanced at Hancock, who was clutching her chest, and continued, "At first I thought Lady Hancock had a heart problem, but after the examination, we found that wasn't the case."

"So I don't know what's wrong with Snake Princess."

Without knowing what the illness is, it's impossible to prescribe medication, so she didn't dare to do anything reckless.

"It seems we'll have to ask Xi Yan and Grandma Za to come and see what's going on," Sander Sonia said.

Just then, Grandma Za walked in, leaning on her cane, and asked, "What's wrong with Snake Princess?"

As she spoke, Grandma Za turned her gaze to the Snake Princess lying on the bed.

'Um?!'

As if she had realized something, the Grandma Za's expression immediately changed.

'This girl might really be lovesick...' Grandma Za murmured to herself.

Thinking of this, Grandma Za glanced sideways at Xi Yan, who had walked in with her, making Xi Yan pause in surprise.

Xi Yan:???

What's wrong?

Why is his Grandma Za looking at him with such a strange expression?

However, Grandma Za didn't explain to Xi Yan. She just glanced at him and then looked away, turning her attention to Hancock.

"My Older Sister Lord suddenly collapsed while soaking in the hot spring, and we don't know why," Sander Sonia said.

Grandma Za paused for a moment upon hearing this, then walked to Hancock's side and tentatively said, "We're about to leave Kuja..."

"Ah!"

"West..."

"Ah!"

Seeing Hancock wince every time she spoke, Grandma Za was completely silenced.

It's confirmed, this girl is indeed lovesick!

"Grandma Za, what are you doing?!" Sander Sonia exclaimed, dumbfounded.

At a time like this, Grandma Za still teasing my Older Sister Lord?

Shouldn't we be thinking about how to save people at this time?!

"Of course, it's to check on the girl's condition," Grandma Za said.

Sander Sonia:???

What kind of strange method is this?

Is this confirmed?

"Grandma Za, am I going to die?" Hancock asked weakly.

"Ah, he'll die," Grandma Za said with certainty.

Hancock:!!!

Hearing her Grandma Za's words, Hancock, lying in bed, felt a pang of despair.

Is she... really going to die?

'I'm so unwilling to accept this...'

"Grandma Za, please don't joke like that!!" Sander Sonia said anxiously.

"I'm not joking," the Grandma Za said, her face grim. "The former emperor died from this disease."

Sander Sonia:!!!

So... is my Older Sister Lord going to die?

"Damn it... we finally managed to..."

Marguerite clenched her fists, tears streaming down her face.

Just then, Xi Yan, who hadn't spoken until now, walked over and asked, "Grandma Za, what exactly did you figure out?"

"Huh?"

Hancock was stunned when she heard Xi Yan's voice, and then her physical condition miraculously began to improve.

Seeing this, Grandma Za sighed and said, "Yes, I've noticed a problem."

As she spoke, Grandma Za turned to look at Xi Yan and continued, "The Snake Princess is lovesick!"

"The kind of lovesickness that will kill you if left untreated!!"

"Lovesickness..."

Xi Yan frowned and said, "A mental illness?"

Recalling what Marguerite had just said, Xi Yan immediately realized something and then fell into deep thought.

'It seems... to be related to me.'

"I'm fine."

Hancock, wearing a bathrobe, sat up and smiled at Xi Yan, saying, "I'm perfectly fine now."

"Older Sister Lord!"

Seeing Hancock struggling to sit up, Marguerite and Mary immediately felt worried.

"Still being stubborn..."

Grandma Za shook her head, then looked at Aini Xida and the others and said, "Sander Sonia and Marguerite, stay. Everyone else, please go out first."

"Huh?"

Aini Xida paused, wondering if there was something she couldn't let them know.

Although she was puzzled, Aini Xida didn't say anything more and obediently led the people away.

After everyone had left, Grandma Za turned her gaze to Xi Yan and said, "Now it's up to you, boy."

"Xi Yan, do you have a way to cure my sister?!" Marguerite asked excitedly.

If Xi Yan could cure their Older Sister Lord, they would be willing to pay any price!

"I already said, I'm fine," Hancock said. "So please don't make things difficult for Xi Yan..."

Xi Yan glanced at Hancock, who was still thinking of him even now, paused for a moment, and then said, "Lovesickness should be considered a kind of mental illness. To cure this illness, you need to treat it with Heart medicine."

What is the Heart medicine?

Sander Sonia and Marguerite had a question mark above their heads, clearly unable to understand what Xi Yan meant.

This was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing.

"What Hancock desires most in her heart is the Heart medicine," Xi Yan said.

"Is that so...?"

Marguerite thought for a moment, then turned to Hancock and said, "Older Sister Lord, what do you desire most right now?"

"Of course it is..."

Hancock glanced at Xi Yan, who was staring at her, and suddenly covered her face, saying nothing more.

"Of course it's that kid Xi Yan," Grandma Za said for Hancock.

"Xi Yan?"

"Ah, it's him." Grandma Za turned to look at Xi Yan and said, "Boy, you have two choices now."

"First: Ignore Hancock's situation, do what you want, and then let Hancock die of lovesickness."

Secondly: Take that step like a man, don't be like that...

At this point, Grandma Za suddenly paused, and her eyes dimmed.

Then, she shook her head to dispel the unnecessary thoughts in her mind and said, "In short, whether or not to save Hancock is your own choice."

After saying that, Grandma Za took her Snake Cane and went to the window. She looked up at the distant sky and said nothing more.

After glancing at Grandma Za's retreating figure, Xi Yan turned his gaze to Hancock.

Judging from the other person's expression, they clearly didn't understand Grandma Za meant, but he did.

Yes, Hancock likes him.

He already knew this, after all... this guy, who was very naive when it came to emotions, didn't hide his thoughts.

Although Hancock didn't seem to know much about this, her straightforward approach still conveyed her thoughts.

Then, a question arose in Xi Yan's mind.

Do I like her?

After pondering for a moment, Xi Yan gave himself an answer.

Like!

But this is not because the other person is beautiful.

The main reason he was attracted to her was her straightforward personality and... the things she was willing to do for him!

The former can be seen from the things the other party said to him before.

As for the latter...

The fact that the other party was willing to compromise with the World Government, which he hated most, and was even willing to risk going to a place like Underwater Great Prison, shows how much they wanted to help him.

Especially when going to the Underwater Great Prison, you'll need to wear Seastone Handcuffs!!!

If the Navy develops any ill intentions, Hancock is finished.

Hancock will suffer more than death then, after all... she's the World's Number One Beauty!!

Therefore, Hancock's actions still moved him deeply, especially considering her various performances at Navy Headquarters...

What reason would he have to refuse such a woman?

Besides, he's the only one who can save Hancock now.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan walked towards Hancock step by step, leaving Hancock stunned.

"Xi... Xi Yan?"

After noticing Xi Yan's actions, Grandma Za's expression became somewhat relieved, and then... tears welled up in her eyes.

'If only it were back then...'

"Hancock." Xi Yan approached Hancock, looked at her earnestly, and said, "Will you be my woman?"

Faced with Hancock's tendency to take a direct approach, Xi Yan also chose to respond in the same way.

"Huh?!!"

Sander Sonia and Marguerite were stunned when they heard Xi Yan say that. Why did he suddenly say something like that?

Weren't we supposed to be saving people?

What does it mean to make my Older Sister Lord his woman?

They just wanted Xi Yan to save their sister, but he wanted to be their brother-in-law?

"This concubine... this concubine..."

Hearing Xi Yan's words, Hancock was so happy she didn't know how to express it.

Is this a marriage proposal?

This must be a marriage proposal!!

Does agreeing to the marriage mean they're officially married?

Thinking about this, Hancock's CPU short-circuited, and she started smoking.

Marguerite:???

Looking at the smoking Hancock, a question mark appeared above Marguerite's head.

Why is their Older Sister Lord smoking?

"Hancock," Grandma Za turned to Hancock and said, "Happiness is right in front of you, try to grasp it."

Hancock paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded emphatically and said, "I am willing!"

The moment she finished speaking, Hancock's abnormality began to disappear rapidly, leaving only her blushing face.

"Huh?"

"Older Sister Lord... are you really healed?!" Sander Sonia exclaimed, looking at the two of them in shock.

No, what's the underlying principle?

Why did my Older Sister Lord's illness get better after she agreed to become Xi Yan's woman?

Marguerite, however, had a look of Satori realization on her face and said, "So this is how to cure lovesickness!"

Although she didn't understand the underlying principles, she did understand that Xi Yan was a medicine.

No wonder he's Ninja who could heal the marks on their backs!

"That's so nice... that's so nice~"

Looking at the couple gazing into each other's eyes, Grandma Za's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

This girl at least didn't follow her old path.

Then, Grandma Za said, "Hancock's lovesickness is cured, you two don't need to worry anymore."

"Um..."

Sander Sonia nodded, then said, "But Grandma Za, I still don't quite understand the principle behind it."

"I can't explain this to you," the Grandma Za said helplessly.

She only knew about lovesickness and its solutions, but she didn't understand the underlying principles.

"Simply put, I'll just give you what you want," Xi Yan explained.

"Do you want it...?"

Upon hearing this, Sander Sonia glanced at Xi Yan, then at Hancock, before falling into deep thought.

'What my Older Sister Lord wants is Xi Yan, so...'

Oh~

She understood!

Sander Sonia, having grasped the key to the matter, suddenly had a look of Satori on her face.

'Hey, she's really smart!'

"Does that mean I have to call him brother-in-law from now on?" Marguerite asked. "That's what everyone outside calls him."

"Mmm... mmm!"

After thinking for a moment, Hancock nodded with absolute certainty.

If Xi Yan becomes her man, isn't that the same as her two younger sisters' brother-in-law?

Very reasonable!

"Greetings Brother-in-law Lord!"

"Alright, alright, you all are well too," Xi Yan said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, this trip to Amazon Lily resulted in him marrying the World's Number One Beauty. His luck is truly unbelievable.

After saying that, Xi Yan put his hand into his Ninja Tool Bag to see if there was anything suitable as a gift.

But after searching around, he found nothing suitable as a gift, which made Xi Yan feel rather embarrassed.

Then, Xi Yan said, "I didn't bring much this time, I'll make up for the gifts next time..."

The two women exchanged a glance, then smiled and said, "Okay, Brother-in-law Lord!"

Having a brother-in-law all of a sudden seems... not so bad.

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Hancock's smile gradually faded, and she murmured, "Next time...?"

It seems that Xi Yan will ultimately have to leave Amazon Lily with Straw Hat.

However, after agreeing to become Xi Yan's woman, the excruciating, near-death feeling she had been experiencing disappeared.

That feeling of reluctance still lingers in my heart.

After a moment's thought, Hancock said, "Xi Yan, I wish to go with you..."

"No!"

Hancock, startled by her Grandma Za's interruption, paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "You old..."

"Um?"

Grandma Za glared at him, indicating that Xi Yan was still there.

Hancock:...

"Grandma Za," Hancock changed her tune, "Why did you say no?"

"Can't I leave with Xi Yan?"

She's already married to Xi Yan, so why can't she leave with him?

Could it be because she is the Empress of Amazon Lily?

No, she doesn't care about the title; she can just give it to her younger sister!

'Hmm, I think the second sister would be perfect!'

Hancock glanced at Sander Sonia, Grandma Za with a questioning gaze, and nodded to herself.

Xi Yan wore a thoughtful expression, eager to know Grandma Za wanted to say.
