After searching for a while without finding Vic's lips, Hancock finally realized what was happening, opened her eyes, and asked the question that had been flashing through her mind.
But seeing the smile in Vic's eyes, she remembered what she had just done. Like a little puppy looking for milk, she closed her eyes, pouted, and snuggled into Vic's arms, searching for a pacifier.
Thinking of this, Hancock's face turned even redder, as if it were about to bleed. She quickly lowered her eyelids to avoid looking at the grinning man opposite her, who was actually mocking her. She wanted to leave Vic's embrace, but found that her legs were weak and she could not even stand steadily.
"I'd like to get to know you better, but it's still broad daylight, so I can't do it right now!"
"Come on! Now, get to know me thoroughly, and I'll make sure you understand me completely!"
"Bai Rixuan... that's not good, is it? That old guy Rayleigh is definitely watching this place with his Observation Haki. We can't let him see the show!"
"Let him see if he wants to. I'm only safe because he arrived in time. Consider this a reward for him!"
"Oh? You're being so generous? Let's continue kissing, let you get used to it first, then we'll go help your two sisters get rid of the toxins in their bodies!"
"Mmm! Ugh... Ugh..."
Vic and Hancock hadn't even taken the final step, not even taken off their clothes, after a bloody battle that had destroyed many buildings in the city.
Many people were injured by Blackbeard and Seraphim, and it would be unreasonable for Hancock to ignore these things and instead do things with Vic.
Vic wasn't in a hurry. Since Hancock's heart was set on him, when he would take her back was up to him!
So Vic only helped Hancock practice her wet kisses a few times. Although he didn't really "get to know her deeply," he used his Devil Fruit ability to thoroughly examine her from the inside out, healing any injuries and taking care of any uninjured parts. In any case, it would be good for her appearance. Only then did they leave the palace together.
Vic first helped Hancock's two sisters Sandersonia and Marigold, remove the toxins from their bodies!
Like Hancock, both of them chose to keep the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon, forever etching this hatred onto their backs until they avenged themselves. Vic respected their decision and promised to come find him when they decided to remove it.
After that came the discussion of internal affairs of the Amazon Lily. Vic and Rayleigh, being outsiders, did not participate. The two of them sat on the island's beach, eating barbecue and drinking fine wine.
The barbecue was cooked by Vic using his powers, allowing him to cook as he pleased, resulting in an exceptionally delicious flavor. The ingredients were Sea Kings that had broken out of the sea to devour the warships sunk by Blackbeard.
The wine was also brewed by Vic himself, combining the best sensory feedback from human stimulation. Aokiji couldn't forget it after drinking it, and even asked Vic for a large jar before leaving. Vic had quite a few of these wines in his Dimensional Space, but he didn't give him that many for fear that Aokiji would become addicted to them.
Rayleigh ate barbecue and drank fine wine, shaking his head and sighing. Vic asked if it wasn't to his liking. Rayleigh said that he had wasted all these years. He had tasted fine wines from all over the Four Blues and the Grand Line, but he had never encountered one like the one Vic had brought out!
Rayleigh felt incredibly regretful, as if he had wasted his life. If he had never met her in his entire life, it wouldn't have mattered, but now that he had, what was the point? How many years did he have left to live?
After encountering such fine wine, he no longer wanted to die. After downing a glass, wasn't this more enjoyable than having sex with a woman? Rayleigh exclaimed that he had been tormented by Vic, feeling a sense of melancholy like the referee Big Mom in the movie "The God of Cookery" after eating the "Sorrowful Meal"!
Vic smiled without saying a word, thinking to himself that if he didn't want to fight and kill anymore, opening a small tavern wouldn't be bad. He wouldn't charge people for drinks; he would let those who wanted to drink exchange their stories for the drinks!
Whether it's his own story or someone else's, it doesn't matter! As long as the story is good and exciting enough, we can have a few more drinks. If any fools try to cause trouble and steal our drinks, let them see our methods and make sure they feel incredibly uncomfortable!
As the wine flowed freely, Rayleigh recounted many amusing stories and his and Roger's thrilling adventures, things Vic hadn't had the chance to hear before, as their relationship hadn't reached that level.
Although the two had crossed paths quite a bit before, it was mostly a cooperative relationship. Now that Rayleigh has brought it up, it's like adding an appetizer to this fine wine!
Perhaps Rayleigh felt that such fine wine deserved a good story, otherwise it would be a disgrace to the wine. Vic didn't say much or ask any questions; he just listened quietly.
Vic felt that the funny stories and exciting adventures Rayleigh told him weren't meant for him, but rather his own memories and reminiscences, just like how seeing Luffy's hat reminded him of Roger!
Vic's fine wine reminded Rayleigh of the passionate days when he and his companions went on adventures and threw parties, but those days could never be returned to!
The important affairs of the Amazon Lily were discussed for quite some time, and a final decision was not reached until after sunset.
Hancock was definitely going to leave the country, and she already had her own place to stay, which she was quite happy with!
As for the next empress, it will be her sister Sandersonia. From then on, the country's survival will no longer depend on plunder, because Vic has given them a way to make a living.
As long as we rely on those two Orochi, which are enough to intimidate Sea Kings, to travel between the Calm Belt and the surrounding areas, and manage things carefully for a period of time to stabilize the situation, even if we don't make the people of this country extremely wealthy, they should be able to live a life free from worries about food and clothing!
Of course, force cannot be ignored. Fortunately, this country has always had a method for cultivating dual-color Haki, so ordinary villains dare not provoke this place.
As long as Hancock and Vic appear together, the Navy won't dare to make any rash moves here!
Even if Vic doesn't say anything, as long as it's confirmed that Boa Hancock, Shichibukai the Sea, has joined the Thunder God Pirates, Amazon Lily will be considered Four Emperors 'Vic territory!
As long as Vic doesn't fall, the World Government won't dare to touch this place. It's just an insignificant island, and they won't make a big fuss about it. That's the future national policy here!
By the time the stars filled the sky, Rayleigh was already swaying unsteadily. Shakky came to support Rayleigh, and glared at Vic in the process.
Vic thought to himself, "This former queen of the Amazon Lily really has a soft spot for that old man Rayleigh. If she knew that Rayleigh once used Armament Haki to enhance his place and got a female Celestial Dragons there, I wonder what she would think!"
Rayleigh was quite the playboy in his youth, with a rich romantic history. It's a mystery how this auntie Shakuyaku managed to tame him. And how does she manage to look like she's in her late thirties even in her sixties? Her skin is firm and her breasts are perky. Vic even suspects she possesses Pure Gold, a special substance that can slow down aging.
"Lord Vic! Please come and sleep in my room tonight!"
After Rayleigh left, Hancock came to Vic's side. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were filled with shyness. She had made love with Vic several times during the day, and she was still somewhat unsatisfied with the sweet and wonderful feeling. She wanted to take it a step further that night, so although she was shy, she still invited him.
"Come on, Hancock! Have a drink with me, and I promise you'll forget all your troubles after you finish it!"
Vic declined Hancock's invitation, saying that now was not the right time. He added that his homemade wine was perfect for Hancock right now; one sip would make her forget all her worries and troubles, bringing her joy and preventing her from pursuing him any further.
The night passed quickly. Hancock woke up in her own bed. She stretched comfortably and sat on the bed for a moment, then rolled over and started looking for Vic.
But she couldn't find it, and she didn't remember how she got to the bed; she only remembered getting drunk after drinking that glass of wine!
It's not the kind of drunkenness caused by alcohol numbing you, but rather the kind of drunkenness that comes from the ultimate relaxation of the body, as if a thousand-pound burden has been lifted off your shoulders, and you feel like you're floating!
The feeling was so comfortable, Hancock had never experienced before. Afterwards, her mind went blank, and her consciousness fell into a deep sleep. She woke up now!
