Clear the Mark!

"Mislanda, it's almost dawn!"

Hancock looked at the sky outside, which was beginning to lighten, and spoke weakly.

Hearing that, Mislanda stopped and did not continue after their battle.

"Alright, then let's sleep!"

He held Hancock in his arms. She nodded slightly, then fell asleep.

After Hancock had fallen asleep, Mislanda opened his palm, and a drop of blood appeared in it.

Phoenix Blood, a treasure much like Dragon Essence.

It could likewise grant eternal youth, immortality, and indestructibility.

"System, can Phoenix Blood erase things like brands?"

Mislanda asked.

[Of course! A treasure like Phoenix Blood can handle a mere brand with ease!]

"Good."

Mislanda then smeared the Phoenix Blood onto his finger and fed it into Hancock's mouth.

Dragon Essence and Phoenix Blood could not coexist in the same body. Even if they could, Mislanda would not greedily take this drop for himself.

After swallowing the Phoenix Blood, Hancock let out a soft moan, and the discomfort on her face gradually eased.

Then Hancock's body temperature slowly rose, and her skin gradually turned red.

Mislanda looked at her back. Sure enough, the spot where the mark had been was also changing.

It seemed the Phoenix Blood was working!

As Hancock's breathing gradually became rapid, her body temperature slowly returned to normal.

Once her temperature had completely normalized, the mark disappeared as well!

"The effect is pretty good."

Mislanda then held Hancock and planned to rest for a while.

He definitely had not gotten enough sleep, so he would just take a short nap!

After resting for some time, Mislanda looked at the now-bright sky outside, got dressed, and walked out.

Outside the door, Hancock's pet snake, Salome, was standing guard.

It had stood there all night!

"Mm, not bad. A responsible pet."

He patted Salome on the head, and the pet snake immediately froze, terrified that Mislanda would slap it to death!

"Keep watch here. Otherwise, I'll stew you into soup!"

After saying that, Mislanda left and flew toward where Rayleigh and Shakky lived.

Since Shakky had been the queen two generations ago, she naturally could not live in the palace. She had settled outside, near the forest.

Not far from them, Granny Nyon had settled there as well!

When Mislanda arrived, Rayleigh was eating.

But he did not look too well.

Mislanda could clearly sense that Rayleigh's legs seemed to be trembling slightly, and there were red marks on his neck.

Uh...

Mislanda knew that Shakky had gone to the palace last night.

But he and Hancock had been passionately occupied at the time and had not come out at all.

"Hey, old man, did you sleep well last night?"

Mislanda suppressed his laughter as he spoke to Rayleigh.

Hearing that familiar voice, Rayleigh turned around and saw Mislanda trying not to laugh.

"When did you get here?"

"Last night. Aunt Shakky knew. What, didn't she tell you?"

Mislanda sat across from Rayleigh and looked around.

"You've kept the place pretty well. You've improved!"

The house was small, but it was neat and orderly, looking quite nice.

Just then, Shakky walked out from inside, carrying a pot of porridge.

"Oh my, why did you come so early?"

"Was Hancock's charm not enough? You actually managed to get out of bed!"

With such a beautiful woman clinging to him, most men would have gone three days and three nights without sleep or food. Yet Mislanda could still get up this early.

Shakky could not help but feel curious.

What she did not know was that Mislanda had not slept at all!

"Of course I didn't want to get up, but I had to care about Hancock's health too. After all, she's no match for me!"

Mislanda served himself a bowl of porridge and drank it in one gulp.

"By the way, what exactly did you do not long ago? Steel Bone Kong has gone crazy, searching the whole world for traces of us father and son!"

A year ago, Rayleigh had been preparing to leave Amazon Lily.

But Steel Bone Kong had issued bounties for Rayleigh and Mislanda at the time.

He had even paid out of his own pocket to place bounties on them!

With no other choice, Rayleigh could only remain here until now.

"It was nothing. I just captured his daughter."

Mislanda said indifferently.

"That's all? Was that enough for Steel Bone Kong to go this far? It's normal for Marines to be captured by pirates!"

"Yeah. I just made his daughter sleep with me for one night. I didn't do anything else besides that!"

Pfft!

Upon hearing Mislanda's words, Rayleigh spat out the porridge he had just swallowed.

He stared at Mislanda in disbelief.

"What did you say? You slept with Steel Bone Kong's daughter?!"

"Yeah. She hurt my face, so I made her stay with me for one night. That's normal, isn't it?"

Rayleigh: I...

After doing something like that, it was already a miracle Steel Bone Kong had not eaten you alive!

"Relax, it was just kissing, hugging, and touching. I didn't really do anything!"

"You're already this old, yet you can't even handle that much mentally. And you call yourself Dark King Rayleigh? How embarrassing!"

After breakfast, Mislanda gathered everyone from the Kuja Pirates in front of the palace.

Under the intimidation of Shakky, Granny Nyon, and Mislanda's own overwhelming strength, Mislanda quickly gained everyone's respect.

"Today, I'm only announcing one thing: all Kuja Pirates voyages for the next half year are canceled!"

"I'll provide the supplies you need!"

As he spoke, Mislanda raised his right hand, and a huge black vortex appeared in the open space.

Then bundles and packages of goods were sent out.

Mislanda had bought all of them on his way to Amazon Lily.

Amazon Lily did not have many inhabitants. These supplies were enough to fill three or four Kuja ships and could fully support Amazon Lily's needs for half a year.

"No need to go to sea for half a year? This kid must be planning something!"

Hearing Mislanda's plan, Shakky immediately guessed something.

Just then, Hancock arrived after getting dressed.

"Snake Princess!"

The people of Amazon Lily hurriedly cried out fervently.

Hancock's beauty charmed both men and women. Even the women of this island of women could not resist her.

"Does it still hurt?"

Shakky asked quietly.

Hancock immediately blushed, then secretly glanced at Mislanda.

"Much better!"

Mislanda found that perfectly normal.

Hancock had already taken the Phoenix Blood. It would have been strange if she still felt something wrong with her body!

He then held out his hand, and Hancock immediately placed hers in his palm.

"Aunt Shakky, sorry for the trouble, but I need a favor!"

"I knew it. You brat must be plotting something!"

If he was not letting Hancock go out, then he definitely had something to do.

"It's nothing much. I'm just taking my woman on a honeymoon. After all, I dote on my women, unlike certain people!"

Rayleigh, who was drinking beside them: ???
