Chapter 265 (cont.)

Chris took out another Den Den Mushi and made another call.

"Chris, what made you think of calling me? Did you miss me?"

When the call connected, the Den Den Mushi took on Hancock's appearance.

With flowing hair and a deep red outfit, she looked beautiful and elegant.

The world's most beautiful pirate certainly lived up to her reputation. She always looked stunning.

"No. I have something to tell you."

Chris glanced at her, then looked away.

"You may not have missed me, but I missed you."

The Den Den Mushi tossed its long hair like Hancock and smiled sweetly.

"Moria has joined our Seven Warlords Alliance. I'm calling to let you know."

Chris ignored what Hancock had said.

"All right, I know. Now tell me honestly—did you miss me?"

The Den Den Mushi mimicked Hancock as she brushed back her hair.

"That's all I had to say. I'm hanging up."

Chris ended the call as soon as he finished speaking.

The women around him watched without surprise.

"Chris, you hung up on me, but I know you love me."

She raised her pale arms and began another imaginary conversation between her thumbs.

"Hancock..."

Her left thumb moved as she called out Chris's name with deep affection.

"Yes..."

Her right thumb moved in reply, and Hancock answered softly, sounding shy.

"Hancock..."

"Yes..."

Her left thumb spoke earnestly. "Hancock, will you marry me?"

Her right thumb cried out in delight. "Chris, you're finally going to marry me! I'm so happy!"

"Is... is this what marriage is like?"
