The weather was fine and sunny.
On an island in the Calm Belt, a palace stands in the very center of the island.
In a bedroom within the palace, a woman of exceptional beauty, with cascading black hair, lay on the bed, her exquisite curves on full display.
But she wasn't in a good mood at the moment.
"Hmph! He said he'd come back to see me often, but it's been almost two months, and he still hasn't contacted me! You scumbag!"
The woman pouted and said angrily.
"Hey, Hancock, what do you mean I'm only back and all I hear is you cursing me? Talking behind people's backs isn't a good thing!"
A soft male voice rang out, with a slight hint of teasing in its tone.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, the woman, Hancock, immediately showed an excited expression and hurriedly looked towards the palace entrance.
Xia Chen was standing there, smiling at her.
Without hesitation, Hancock jumped out of bed and ran towards Xia Chen like a swallow returning to its nest.
Xia Chen opened his arms and hugged Hancock, who was flying towards him. He smelled the fragrance of Hancock's hair and smiled.
After leaving the Gran Tesoro, he greeted everyone and then flew at top speed towards Amazon Lily using his Flying Nimbus.
Indeed, it's been so long since I've seen Hancock, I really miss her!
Xia Chen cupped Hancock's face in his arms and asked with a smile:
Have you missed me lately?
Hancock's smile hadn't faded yet. Hearing Xia Chen's words, she was about to say she really wanted to, but the words that came out were:
"I don't miss you at all! You wicked man!"
"You said you'd come back to see me often, but now you only come back about once every two months. Do you think once every two months is a lot?"
Hancock turned her head to the side and puffed out her cheeks.
"Well..."
Upon hearing this, Xia Chen couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment.
It's indeed a bit long to come back and see him only once every two months.
In fact, according to his own thinking, he would never have taken so long to come back and see Hancock.
As a young and vigorous man, he didn't think he could endure it for that long.
But the problem is...
Robin appeared out of nowhere!
With Robin providing the energy for Xia Chen, he naturally wouldn't feel thirsty anymore, which is why he only came back to see Hancock once in so long.
But Xia Chen could never tell Hancock this reason.
Although Hancock had said long ago that she wouldn't mind him finding a few more.
But with women, even if she really doesn't mind, you can't mention other women in front of her; that's a huge taboo!
Although Xia Chen didn't have much experience in this area, he was still very clear about this!
After considering it for a moment, Xia Chen said, "It's been half a year since I last saw Luffy and the others, so I've been staying a little longer!"
"And a lot of interesting things have happened during this time, which is why I haven't come back!"
As he led Hancock to the bed, Xia Chen told her about everything he had experienced during this time.
But not long after they finished speaking, a gasp of surprise rang out from Hancock's bedchamber.
Why... why are you taking my clothes off?
"Hey!"
Xia Chen's wicked laughter rang out, and then...
...(One million words omitted here!)
After they finished, Xia Chen and Hancock lay on the bed, embracing each other, with Hancock's fingers tracing circles on Xia Chen's chest.
Xia Chen then recounted the events that had occurred during this time to Xia Chen, telling her the truth about most of the events without hiding anything from Hancock.
And Hancock's occasional exclamations of surprise never stopped Xia Chen's lips from curling into a smile.
While Xia Chen was indulging in a tender embrace, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise...
A familiar room, familiar people, familiar postures.
"This is news from the Navy a couple of days ago. Several Celestial Dragons died at Xia Chen's hands on the Gran Tesoro!" Jupiter placed a piece of paper on the table and said calmly.
"Hmm..." Saturn pondered for a moment and then said:
"They can only blame their bad luck!"
Everyone tacitly agreed with Saturn's statement; however, if someone else had killed Celestial Dragons, it would definitely be a major event for them!
What?! They actually dared to challenge the authority of our World Government?
Are you out of your mind?
The Celestial Dragons can die, but the World Government cannot lose face!
But when the person who killed the Celestial Dragons was Xia Chen...
Hmm! It's alright! So what if a few Celestial Dragons died? So what if the World Government lost face?
So what? It's not like it's the first time I've been this embarrassed!
That's why they didn't hold a meeting immediately after receiving the news; instead, they just mentioned it casually during their weekly routine meeting.
However, while they might not bother with Xia Chen, that doesn't mean no one will care about him!
Saturn's gaze swept over the crowd, a look of delight on his face, and he said:
"Everyone! Our hard times are almost over, and from now on, we will truly be greeted by bright days!"
"We will never be bullied by a pirate again!"
Upon hearing this, the other Five Elders immediately realized something, and their faces lit up with joy.
Mercury stared intently at Saturn and asked, " Saturn, what do you mean by that?"
Saturn smiled and said:
"Lord Imu summoned me before I came to attend the meeting!"
"He clearly told me that the time was right and he would personally deal with Xia Chen! In the meantime, we don't need to worry about anything; everything will be the same as before!"
"We'll discuss everything after he deals with Xia Chen!"
"!!!"
"Really?" Venus stood up excitedly upon hearing this.
"How could this be fake!" Saturn looked calmly at the astonished crowd.
He could understand how they felt, because he felt the same way when he first heard the news from Lord Imu!
"Great! We can finally stop having to act at the mercy of a pirate!"
"We Five Elders have been really frustrated lately, having to worry about a pirate in everything we do!" Mars was also particularly agitated.
"Indeed!" Everyone nodded in agreement.
None of the Five Elders before them had ever been overpowered by a pirate!
And they are the first case!
But they didn't actually feel ashamed about it, because the same thing would happen if Xia Chen were placed in another period of history.
They were just unlucky; they happened to be born in Xia Chen's era!
Fortunately, all of this is about to end!
They have unconditional trust in Lord Imu. As long as Lord Imu takes action, no matter how strong Xia Chen is, it will be useless!
They are absolutely certain of this!
Once Xia Chen dies, who will know that he once held sway over Xia Chen?
History can simply be erased!
