Perhaps at This Moment

However, he knew very well that given Doflamingo's extraordinary level of attention to M. Caesar Clown, there was no way he wouldn't have planted someone by his side.

This situation is exactly the same as that of Monet in the original work, who possessed the Logia Snow-Snow Devil Fruit Ability. Perhaps at this very moment, that mysterious figure has already lurked beside M. Caesar Clown. If these two join forces to launch an attack, then Mr. 2, Mr. 3, and Miss Golden Week might really encounter misfortune if they are not careful.

Thinking of this, he quickly raised his voice and warned, "Everyone, please be extra careful! As far as I know, there's a high possibility that M. Caesar Clown has another person with Logia Devil Fruit Ability —by his side." Hearing this, Robin nodded slightly in response, "Captain, please rest assured. We already have this important information. And to be on the safe side, we've specially obtained two pairs of Seastone Handcuffs just in case."

Furthermore, it's important to know that Mr. 3 is a notoriously cunning individual whose strategies and schemes are often impossible to guard against. Add to that the special abilities of Mr. 2 and Miss Golden Week, and they're even more formidable. With the three of them working together, achieving their goal should be no problem.

After all, their primary objective in this operation was merely to seize the Devil Fruit, not to engage in a direct confrontation with those two... Of course, if things developed to the point where success seemed impossible, given their style of doing things, they certainly wouldn't resort to brute force.

Hearing this, Moke nodded in satisfaction, indicating his agreement. "Hmm, not bad. With you handling this matter, I am naturally very relieved..." Just then, Enel, who had been sitting quietly listening to their conversation, suddenly raised his head, staring straight out the window, and warned, "Oh no, someone's coming!" Upon hearing this, Moke's expression changed instantly, and he immediately hung up the ongoing call without hesitation.

Sure enough, not long after, a graceful figure slowly appeared in front of their house. The woman swayed with each step, her posture elegant and charming, like a flower swaying gracefully in the wind. As she approached with her light footsteps, a soft knock sounded on the door—"Knock knock knock..." The sound was crisp and gentle, as if carrying a certain rhythm.

Upon seeing this, Moke's lips involuntarily curved into a slight smile, as if a mysterious and intriguing smile was quietly creeping onto his angular face. He slowly said, "This door isn't locked properly; you can just walk right in!"

As the two were talking, his previously lowered eyes flickered slightly, seemingly unintentionally turning his gaze slowly to Enel, who sat upright beside him. It was only a brief moment, as fleeting as Inazuma across the night sky. However, after this brief, stunning glance, it was as if a Moke had been thrown into the calm lake, instantly creating countless subtle ripples that quickly spread. At the same time, a strange feeling that was difficult to describe in words surged into his heart like a tide.

At this moment, the guy sitting quietly next to him suddenly seemed incredibly annoying and superfluous to him. This feeling came on very abruptly, as if some emotion buried deep in the most secret corner of his heart had been suddenly awakened and broken free of its restraints, gushing out at an astonishing speed. He had never had a similar experience before.

It should be noted that, in fact, from the very first moment he glimpsed the approaching figure through that transparent window, he was able to accurately identify who it was, thanks to his keen observation skills and exceptional memory accumulated over the years.

Normally, if a person has weathered countless storms and their heart has become as calm as a deep pool, then when that long-awaited or unexpected figure finally appears before them, their heart should be like a still lake, without the slightest ripple. However, at this moment, the reality is quite different. For some reason, an indescribable and sudden strange feeling welled up in their heart, like a pebble thrown into a lake, instantly shattering the long-standing tranquility and peace.

Just as his heart, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, began to ripple with this inexplicable strangeness and started to become restless, suddenly, a clear and melodious "click" sound, as pleasant as a silver bell, rang out without warning in the quiet room.

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft; it was neither deafening nor faint enough to be imperceptible. Yet, it was exceptionally clear, like a sharp sword piercing straight into the depths of one's soul, making its presence impossible for anyone present to ignore.

As if drawn by a powerful magnet, everyone's gaze instantly turned towards the source of the sound. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and astonishment, as if they wanted to immediately uncover the secret hidden behind this mysterious sound. Following the direction of everyone's gaze, they saw a door that had been tightly closed, like an impregnable fortress, separating the inside and outside of the room into two completely different worlds. However, at this moment, this seemingly unbreakable door suddenly moved.

It was being gently pushed by an invisible and mysterious hand, as silent as a ghost, leaving no trace. Accompanying it was the slight friction sound of the door hinges turning slowly. Although the sound was faint, it was particularly clear and jarring in the silent environment, as if it were a whisper from another time and space.

At first, the door was only slightly ajar, an extremely narrow crack, so narrow it was almost imperceptible. Looking through this gap, all that could be seen was a dim, hazy scene outside; everything was indistinct, giving a sense of ambiguity. But as time passed, that initially insignificant crack began to widen visibly. Like a glimmer of dawn appearing in the darkness, though faint and small, it stubbornly pierced through the thick fog, striving to expand its territory.

Gradually, the dawn grew brighter and brighter, and the gap widened. Finally, after a long wait, the door opened completely, revealing a completely unfamiliar and unknown New World. What secrets and surprises did this world hold? Or did it harbor countless unknown dangers and challenges? Filled with questions and anticipation, the group cautiously took their first steps into that unknown realm...

At the same time, a subtle yet undeniable current of air rushed into the room through the gradually opening door. Although this current was not as strong as Zhou Yu Gale, it carried a hint of coolness, like a gentle breeze caressing the face, bringing a refreshing and pleasant feeling that invigorated the spirit. Both body and mind seemed to find some degree of relief and relaxation at that moment.

Like an uninvited guest, it silently intruded into this originally enclosed space, bringing a touch of the outside world and unknown variables. This gust of air, like an invisible hand, gently brushed across the faces of everyone in the room, bringing a slight coolness.

Almost simultaneously, a faint, elegant fragrance wafted over, like a shadow. This fragrance was not strong or pungent; instead, it gave a refreshing and refined feeling. It was neither as intense and flamboyant as the common perfumes on the market, but possessed its own unique charm and allure.

It contained no trace of artificial scent; it was pure, natural, and refreshingly pleasant, like the fragrance of newly blossoming flowers in spring, intoxicating and delightful to behold... Moke knew perfectly well that this unique fragrance could only come from a woman's natural body odor.

Looking back on the daytime, because they were seated far apart, he hadn't realized how captivating Boa Hancock's fragrance was! It was truly a case of "only upon closer inspection does one realize how rich and fragrant it is!"

There's a saying that goes, "A woman should be fragrant, soft, understanding, and tender." And the beautiful woman standing before me at this moment truly embodies that.

She not only exuded a captivating fragrance, but her skin was also so delicate and soft it seemed as if you could squeeze water from it; her figure was also graceful and alluring, especially a certain part that was particularly eye-catching... Although her personality was somewhat haughty like a queen, as long as she truly fell in love with someone, she would immediately become gentle, sweet, and submissive in front of that person.

Such a woman is undoubtedly the perfect choice for a wife. If he could hold her in his arms every night as he fell asleep, wouldn't he be blissfully happy? Thinking of this, Moke couldn't help but feel a surge of longing, and he involuntarily coughed a few times. "Cough cough..."

Just then, Enel, who was standing to the side, saw what was happening and his face immediately showed a look of confusion and bewilderment. He blinked his big eyes, stared straight at Moke, and then asked in a slightly hesitant tone, "What on earth is going on?"

Upon hearing Enel's question, Moke felt a wave of speechlessness wash over him. He couldn't help but feel inwardly annoyed. "Oh dear, how can this guy be so dense? He doesn't even have the most basic ability to read people! I really regret it! What was I thinking, to bring him here?" Thinking of this, Moke couldn't help but lament Dark-Dark Fruit.

However, Moke was no ordinary man. Although his heart was filled with regret, he reacted quickly, forcibly suppressing the overwhelming wave of remorse. Then, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his restless heart as soon as possible.

As his breathing gradually steadied, Moke began to methodically organize the chaotic thoughts swirling in his mind. He concentrated, focusing intently on every detail, leaving no stone unturned. Gradually, his previously chaotic thoughts began to clear and become organized... Finally, after much effort, Moke successfully refocused all his attention on the beautiful and charming woman before him— Boa Hancock.

He bowed slightly, a polite smile on his face, and then slowly asked, "Miss Boa Hancock, what brings you here so late at night?"

From the moment she stepped into the room, Boa Hancock's beautiful eyes were fixed on Moke as if drawn by a magnet, never wavering. Hearing Moke's question, she hesitated slightly, but answered directly, "You... you really can eliminate..." At this point, Boa Hancock suddenly seemed to realize something, swallowing back the words "Celestial Dragon's Hoofprint" that were about to escape her lips. It turned out that she had caught a glimpse of Enel standing quietly to the side, and inwardly cursed. If this person knew her true purpose for coming, it would likely cause considerable trouble. Therefore, Celestial Dragon Hoof Mark quickly changed her words, saying, "Um... I just wanted to ask some questions about magic." Although she said this, a hint of panic unconsciously flashed Boa Hancock her eyes.

She absolutely did not want any third person to witness or hear about her deepest, most secret feelings. Just then, Moke keenly caught her suggestive gaze. He slightly turned his head, his gaze falling on Enel, who was still somewhat absent-minded, and said, "Enel, would you please go outside and keep watch... Judging from the looks of it, she must have some extremely private matters to discuss with me."

Upon hearing this, Enel taken aback for a moment before recovering. A hint of displeasure appeared on his face, but he still turned and walked towards the door as instructed. As he brushed past Boa Hancock, who was walking towards him, he even let out a cold snort, expressing his dissatisfaction. However, surprisingly, the beautiful and charming Empress Hancock did not seem to have successfully bewitched Enel's heart.

It has to be said that those who can resist Boa Hancock's powerful charm are truly exceptional, like Luffy and Enel! And look at the infamous Blackbeard; even in the original story, facing the stunningly beautiful Boa Hancock, he didn't dare to directly confront her. Instead, this cunning and treacherous fellow would only instruct his crew to distract Boa Hancock while he lurked in the shadows, waiting for the opportune moment to launch a surprise attack.

Even after the successful ambush, he didn't dare relax his grip on Boa Hancock for a moment. Blackbeard's face was filled with terror as he muttered to himself, "If I let go of this woman now, everyone here will be doomed..." And this "everyone" naturally included Blackbeard himself. After all, even someone as cunning and treacherous as him couldn't resist Boa Hancock's captivating charm. It's not hard to imagine the awe-inspiring power that would be achieved when Boa Hancock's formidable strength and innate charisma merged!

Faced with this situation, Boa Hancock simply returned Enel with a look full of contempt and arrogance. Enel, speechless, could only stand there, unable to utter a word for a long time. After Enel turned and left dejectedly, Boa Hancock's previously tense expression suddenly underwent a dramatic change. Her expression instantly became incredibly deep and solemn, and her once captivating eyes suddenly sharpened, as if capable of piercing through the world. Then, in a low and serious tone, she questioned Moke: "Do you truly have a way to remove this Celestial Dragons's hoofprint for me?"

Upon hearing this, Moke nodded without hesitation, then turned his gaze to Boa Hancock and said slowly, "Please extend your hand first, let me try to see if I can do it."

"???"

Boa Hancock's beautiful face was filled with confusion, her beautiful eyes blinking, her long eyelashes trembling slightly like butterfly wings. She really couldn't understand why removing the Celestial Dragon Hoof Mark would be related to her hand, but out of trust in Moke, she obediently followed his instructions and slowly extended her delicate and smooth jade-like hand.

Without hesitation, Moke grabbed Boa Hancock's outstretched hand, his rough palm tightly enveloping her slender little hand. Then, he raised his other hand and lightly scratched Boa Hancock's delicate, flawless skin with his sharp nails. In an instant, a long, thin wound appeared on the back of her fair hand, and bright red blood flowed from the wound like a thin red snake winding down.

Boa Hancock frowned instinctively, the pain causing her to gasp softly. However, in the next moment, the pain on her face was suddenly replaced by shock. It turned out that a strange and mysterious power was surging from the hand that Moke was holding hers. This power seemed to have a life of its own, rapidly flowing towards the wound on the back of Boa Hancock's hand and continuously pouring into it.

A jaw-dropping scene unfolded! The wound, which had been bleeding profusely, began to heal at an astonishing speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the wound vanished completely without a trace, leaving not a single mark. Boa Hancock stared in disbelief at the unharmed back of her hand; the skin was still as delicate and smooth as before, as if it had never been injured at all. If it weren't for the few traces of blood remaining on the back of her hand reminding her that everything that had just happened was real, Boa Hancock might have doubted whether she had simply imagined it.

Just then, Moke slowly opened his mouth and said, "This is one of my unique abilities, which allows me to effectively heal injuries to myself and others... whether it's a newly formed wound or an old scar that has existed for a long time. Not only that, I can also easily absorb tattoo ink that has long been integrated with the skin."

Upon hearing this, a haughty expression immediately appeared on Boa Hancock's beautiful face. She slightly raised her chin and commanded in an unquestionable tone, "Since that's the case, why don't you hurry up and remove this wretched Celestial Dragon Hoof Mark for this queen!"

Looking at the woman before him, as proud as a Kujaku, Moke couldn't help but smile inwardly. Sure enough, this was Boa Hancock's usual style. However, while he did have a slight lust for beautiful women, he was completely different from those simps who would become infatuated and lose all reason upon seeing Boa Hancock. Therefore, his gaze towards Boa Hancock at this moment contained only a hint of "admiration." You see, whenever Boa Hancock adopted such an arrogant posture, she would subconsciously puff out her chest, instantly making her already aggressive demeanor even more ferocious.

Faced with this situation, Moke's lips curled slightly upwards, and he replied with a half-smile, "Oh? Why should I listen to you?" However, deep down, he couldn't help Dark-Dark Fruit mutter to himself, "If I really had the chance to touch this alluring body, it would be absolutely perfect..."

Suddenly, as if struck by Inazuma, a wondrous thought flashed through his mind. In an instant, his eyes lit up involuntarily, sparkling with excitement and anticipation. This idea, like a dazzling star, illuminated his previously somewhat confused path.

However, when he tried to put it into practice, he found that things weren't as simple as he had imagined. He hesitated for a moment, then tried to stretch out his hands, but quickly withdrew them, letting out a soft sigh, "Tsk... this doesn't seem to be going to work either!"

Just then, Boa Hancock spoke up coquettishly, "Hmph, because I am so beautiful, so stunning, you should agree to whatever I ask of you without hesitation." As she spoke, she swayed her body slightly, exuding a captivating charm.

Moke narrowed his eyes slightly and replied expressionlessly, "Save your breath, put away your tricks. They have absolutely no effect on me." He remained unusually calm and composed in the face of Boa Hancock's temptation, completely unmoved.

Boa Hancock was taken aback by this. She knew that both men and women often succumbed to her charms, falling at her feet. But Moke remained unmoved, which truly surprised her. At the same time, she began to look at Moke in a new light, realizing he was no ordinary person.

Boa Hancock's expression turned serious, and she raised an eyebrow, asking earnestly, "In that case, what exactly do you want me to do to remove the Celestial Dragon Hoof Mark from my body?"

Moke's lips curled into a slight smile as he replied casually, "Yes, since this is an old wound, it might be a little troublesome to treat. However, it's not particularly difficult. Just let me press and rub it for about half an hour, and it should be completely gone."
