"Very well, things have indeed come too suddenly. Let's stay here today and let you say goodbye to your sisters."
Kazu thought about it and agreed to Hancock's idea of staying overnight, as leaving today would indeed be too rushed.
Kazu called Makino and told him he didn't need to wait for him for dinner tonight; he would go back tomorrow.
On the other side, Makino readily agreed, her tone even carrying a hint of relief.
Makino: Great! I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight.
That night, Hancock had over a hundred dishes prepared and summoned all the high-ranking members of the Kuja Pirates for a banquet.
This was Kazu's first time attending a party where he was the only man there, and you have to admit, it was pretty awesome.
"Lord Kazu, I raise another glass to you, hoping that you and Snake Princess will grow old together in happiness."
"Lord Kazu, let me also raise a toast to you. Please bring Snake Princess back to visit often in the future."
"Lord Kazu..."
Like Tang Sanzang entering the Silken Cave, Kazu was surrounded by a group of women, all wanting to have a drink with Kazu.
Kazu, on the other hand, was intoxicated by the atmosphere rather than the alcohol Amazon Lily's style of dress was exactly to Kazu's liking; all the women were dressed in revealing outfits, making Kazu's eyes almost dazzled.
The banquet finally ended late into the night. As Kazu closed his eyes to rest in his room, all he could see in his mind was a vast expanse of white.
"So many balls..."
Meanwhile, Hancock, somewhat shy, spent a long time mentally preparing herself in her room before finally mustering the courage to push open the door to Kazu's room.
"Honey, I'm coming in."
Kazu patted the empty space next to the large bed and said, " Hancock, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
An earth-shattering battle has begun. It can only be said that Hancock, as Shichibukai, is incredibly powerful even in her first battle.
The next day at noon, Kazu put down his long, white leg and went to the bathroom to wash up.
The reason is simple: he woke up because he was hungry.
After washing up, I took out some food and drinks from my Independent Space and woke Hancock up to eat together. She had been exhausted all night and needed to replenish her energy.
"Come on, darling, eat more."
Hancock transformed into a doting wife, barely eating any herself but constantly adding food to Kazu. Only after Kazu had finished eating did Hancock begin to eat herself.
Kazu had initially told Hancock that he could reach everything himself and could just pick whichever food he wanted, but Hancock insisted, so Kazu went along with it.
"Alright, now that you've had your fill of food and drink, it's time to say goodbye to your sisters. We'll be heading to the Divine Dragon soon."
"Okay, whatever you say, darling."
Hancock put her arm around Kazu's, and the two of them walked past, becoming the center of attention.
"That's wonderful! Snake Princess, you must be happy!"
"Yes, but what kind of magic do men possess that even Snake Princess has fallen for them?"
"I don't know, I really want to try it with a man too. Look how happy Snake Princess is."
The higher-ups didn't try to hide the news, and within a day, the news of Hancock and Kazu's love spread throughout Amazon Lily.
Hearing the whispers of the maids by the roadside, Hancock felt even sweeter inside. Just as they said, she was very happy now. With Kazu by her side, she felt as if she had the whole world.
Most men would find it hard to resist a woman like Hancock, who is single-minded, innocent, and adorably romantic, especially since she is also a stunning beauty.
Kazu felt in high spirits as the two of them arrived at the council hall, where Elder Nyon, Marigold, Sandersonia, and the Kuja Pirates had all been waiting for a long time.
They knew their elder sister was leaving, and they were very reluctant to part with her. After all, they had lived together day and night for more than ten years, and their bond was very deep.
" Marigold, be careful at sea from now on, without me around."
"I'm afraid the World Government will soon revoke my title Shichibukai."
" In Sandersonia, if you have any questions about anything, big or small, you can go to Elder Nyon; she has a wealth of experience."
Hancock gave her detailed instructions, reminding her that she was, after all, the Empress of the Amazon Lily, and also deeply loved this country.
"Big sister, you must come back to visit often in the future."
"Yes, dear sister, we will always be here waiting for you to come back."
" Snake Princess, go ahead and pursue your love with peace of mind. This old body of mine can still guide them for a while. Things won't get chaotic here."
After Hancock said goodbye to everyone, Kazu spoke up, saying, "Don't worry, with me here, Hancock will be safe. I will protect her with my life."
Hearing Kazu's solemn guarantee, everyone nodded with satisfaction. They were extremely pleased with Kazu's promise and his abilities.
"Call Hancock if you miss her."
"I'm leaving, bye~"
