Marigold, her eyes also red, grasped her hand.
"Sister, you're free."
That mark should never have existed in the first place.
Hancock did not answer.
She simply looked at Uchiha Xin.
The fear, shame, and despair in my heart were all replaced by another emotion at this moment.
gratitude.
There are also uncontrollable dependencies.
Did you do this?
"Um."
"Why?"
I don't like it.
Uchiha Xin's answer was simple.
Hancock bit her lip tightly.
He simply didn't like the look of it, so he erased the mark that had tormented her for years.
For Uchiha Xin, it might just be a small matter.
For her, it was like being given a second chance at life.
"Thanks."
When Hancock uttered those two words, her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.
Uchiha Xin looked at her.
"You don't need to hide it anymore."
Hancock gripped the mirror tightly.
"You don't find me unbearable?"
"I don't mind."
Don't you think my status is lowly?
I don't think so.
Even if I was once a slave of the Celestial Dragons?
"That's the Celestial Dragons ' fault, not yours."
Hancock's tears fell again.
She looked up at Uchiha Xin, and for the first time did not adopt the posture of Pirate Empress.
Why are you so good to me?
Uchiha Xin did not answer immediately.
He looked at Hancock in front of him.
This woman possesses a beauty that no man can ignore, as well as considerable strength and status.
More importantly, she possesses the power of laws unique to this world.
The system has already made a judgment.
Once Hancock completely submits to him, the power of the laws embodied by the most beautiful woman in the pirate world will be absorbed by the Eye of God.
But these are only some of the reasons.
When he saw the mark on Hancock's back, his decision was made.
No matter the cost.
Regardless of whether they will become enemies with the entire Pirate King world in the future.
He wanted to keep Hancock by his side.
Make her your woman.
To ensure she is never bullied by anyone again.
Because I want you.
Uchiha Xin said:
"Become my woman, stay by my side."
Hancock's cheeks flushed quickly.
"What... what did you say?"
I've made myself very clear.
"I am the Emperor of Amazon Lily."
"I know."
"I am still Shichibukai."
"I know."
"I will not easily submit to anyone."
"Then let's take it slow."
Hancock looked at him, her embarrassment growing more and more pronounced.
In the past, if any man had dared to speak to her like that, she would have kicked him away long ago.
But at this moment, she felt no anger.
Uchiha Xin erased her deepest humiliation.
Even when she least wanted to face it, he didn't show the slightest disgust.
The man's gaze remained calm throughout.
There was no pity.
There was no contempt.
They didn't treat her as a slave who had been trampled on by the Celestial Dragons.
He only saw her as Boa Hancock.
He became the emperor of Amazon Lily.
She was considered the most beautiful woman in the world.
"I may consider it."
Hancock turned her head away.
"But you cannot assume that I will immediately submit just because you removed my mark."
"Certainly."
Uchiha Xin nodded.
I don't need you to agree under duress.
Hancock looked at him again.
Are you serious?
I never force my woman.
This statement put Hancock at ease.
But the next moment, she remembered the scene of Uchiha Xin forcibly restraining her from behind, and her cheeks turned even redder.
"You just said you wouldn't force me."
"It was because you suddenly intervened."
"I was merely testing your strength."
What was the result?
Hancock fell silent.
The result is obvious.
Her Slave Arrow twice, but had no effect on Uchiha Xin.
He then easily subdued her, and her struggles were futile.
You are indeed very strong.
Hancock acknowledged this.
"The entire Amazon Lily combined is no match for you."
So what are you going to do?
Hancock pursed her lips.
"Let's go back to Amazon Lily first."
"Can."
"I want to verify your identity myself."
"What ever."
Uchiha Xin looked up into the distance.
Let's go.
Spatial forces unfolded from the deck.
Hancock glanced at the two sisters behind her.
"Notify everyone that no one is allowed to obstruct this."
Sandersonia nodded hastily.
They had already noticed that their older sister's attitude towards Uchiha Xin had changed.
The Pirate Empress did not order an attack.
They did not ask the other party to leave.
This says it all.
Spatial fluctuations enveloped the entire Kuja Pirates.
The next moment, the ships on the sea disappeared.
Amazon Lily, space cracked open.
The Kuja Pirates ' ship slowly descended from it and came to a steady stop in the harbor.
All the soldiers on the island looked up.
When they saw Uchiha Xin and Hancock appear together, their expressions all changed.
"Man?"
How did he end up on the ship?
"That's Thunder Emperor Uchiha Xin!"
"Your Majesty has brought a man back?"
Exclamations of surprise echoed from the harbor.
Many Kuja warriors gripped their weapons, but none dared to actually approach.
Uchiha Xin stood at the bow of the ship, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.
Men are strictly prohibited from landing on the Amazon Lily.
But this rule meant nothing to him.
Hancock stepped off the ship, her face still flushed with embarrassment.
Hearing the surrounding chatter, she immediately spoke in a cold voice:
"He is the husband I brought back."
The port fell silent instantly.
Sandersonia and Marigold both looked at Hancock.
They hadn't expected their older sister to say that so directly.
Hancock, however, raised her chin, forcefully maintaining her Pirate Empress dignity.
"As the emperor of Amazon Lily, what's wrong with me bringing my husband back with me?"
The soldiers on the island looked at each other in bewilderment.
No one dared to refute it.
They glanced at Uchiha Xin, then at Hancock, and finally lowered their heads.
On this day, the Pirate Empress herself broke the ironclad rules of Amazon Lily.
Uchiha Xin stayed at Amazon Lily for several days.
Hancock did not attack him again in the past few days.
The usually arrogant and domineering Pirate Empress completely changed her demeanor when she was in front of Uchiha Xin.
She would personally prepare food for Uchiha Xin.
I will listen quietly when he speaks.
She would blush at a compliment, yet she would force herself to adopt the demeanor of Pirate Empress.
The two sisters witnessed these changes and still couldn't believe it.
"Has my sister really fallen for him?"
"Marigold asked in a low voice."
Sandersonia glanced at the two people not far away.
"At least my sister didn't reject him."
Isn't that obvious enough?
As the two sisters were talking, Hancock was sitting next to Uchiha Xin.
She was very close to me, and her words carried less of the guardedness she used to have.
When are you planning to leave?
"No rush."
Uchiha Xin said:
"I still have some things to take care of."
Hancock nodded slightly.
"Then I will accompany you."
She spoke naturally.
It's only natural for someone to accompany Uchiha Xin.
