Lovesickness! Incompetent Ain

Naito raised an eyebrow with interest.

"You're actually Devil Fruit User, aren't you? That woman was definitely brainwashed by you!!"

Binz shouted.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on!

How could someone develop such deep feelings after just being beaten up?

"Idiot."

Naito scoffed softly.

"Really, Brother Naito,"

Sanji gave Naito a genuine thumbs-up, "You're absolutely amazing!"

Not only young Sanji, but the other marines who witnessed this farce also looked at Naito with genuine admiration.

This is our proud Vice Admiral Naito! Not only did he overpower the Pirate Empress in terms of strength, but he also captivated the world's most beautiful woman with his unparalleled charm!

Meanwhile, inside the ship's cabin.

Ain had led the Empress to a spacious room.

This is it.

Ain casually turned her head and met the Empress's almost fiery eyes. She acted as if she hadn't seen her at all, her tone full of the composure of a victor.

"Please stay in this room for the next few days, Pirate Empress."

Hey, woman!

An invisible aura emanated from Boa Hancock. "Stay away from Naito!"

It makes me uncomfortable to see this woman so close to Naito!

"I can actually understand you, Boa Hancock,"

Ain said indifferently, "Although I don't know why you fell in love with Naito, it's not surprising at all. I know Naito's charm better than anyone else."

Hancock was stunned.

Like?

She said, love?

So, is this feeling of being drawn to him, of joy and pain because of him, love?

My name is Naito.

Right!

Hancock raised her right hand and pressed it against her chest, feeling her heartbeat gradually quicken.

Yes!

I have fallen in love with Naito!

Lovers should be together. I do indeed want to be close to Naito, and I want to be with him!

Ain had no idea that her words had directly awakened the bewildered Empress.

She simply said, "It's understandable that you fell in love with Naito, but you should still give up."

"Naito is the best navy man; he could fall in love with anyone, but he would never fall in love with a pirate like you."

Hancock was taken aback.

Naito, will he never fall in love with himself?

He won't be with me?

Knock knock!

Knock knock!

My heart started racing instantly.

Boa Hancock's face flushed crimson instantly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her body, already severely injured by Naito, was now swaying precariously.

"Um?"

Ain was taken aback.

What happened?

Is this woman's mental fortitude really that weak? She broke down so easily with just a few words from me?

Isn't she a user of Conqueror's Haki?

"Eek—"

Before Ain could react, Hancock let out a soft groan and her tall, voluptuous body slumped to the ground.

"Huh?"

Chapter 179 Lovesickness! The Incompetent Ain

The massive naval warships have gradually set sail, drifting further and further away from the legendary Amazon Lily.

Many naval soldiers were disappointed, having come all this way only to have no chance to truly see the country.

Ultimately, it's because Vice Admiral Naito is just too capable.

Naito stood at the bow of the ship; Amazon Lily held no appeal for him.

What he cared about more was the island not far from Amazon Lily, an island teeming with ferocious beasts.

However, it's too far from the sea area occupied by World and his group, and it's even separated by the Red Line. Even if they occupied the island, transporting those monsters would be very difficult.

After all, that old guy Golden Lion, is a bit rebellious these days; he refused to help us last time.

But it doesn't matter. With the Mountain Lord of Elbaf as a supplement, we won't lack these monsters.

Just as they were about to begin their training for the day, Ain suddenly rushed out of the cabin in a hurry.

"Naito!"

Ain, who was always calm, looked quite anxious at this moment. "That woman seems to be sick!"

Are you sick?

Naito was somewhat surprised.

Boa Hancock, who only suffered minor injuries after being thrown out and smashing a mountain, is she sick?

Later.

Inside the ship's cabin, in the room prepared for Boa Hancock.

Naito stood by the bed, quietly looking down at the Pirate Empress lying on it.

The woman's face was flushed, her eyes were closed, her breathing was extremely rapid, and large beads of sweat seeped from her forehead, then slid down and dampened her temples.

What happened?

Naito's voice was calm.

"I don't know what happened either,"

Ain was getting anxious. "It is me," she hesitated for a moment, then made a few sarcastic remarks to tell her not to be delusional.

Ain paused for a moment, then gritted her teeth slightly, "I didn't expect her to be so fragile! She was just a couple of things I said to her and then—"

"Naito, won't this affect headquarters' upcoming strategy?"

"Calm down, Ain."

Naito remained calm. "If she dies because of something so absurd, then she deserves to die."

"Naito..."

Ain's pupils twitched.

Are you trying to comfort me?

Naito, he can be quite gentle sometimes.

"Yes, Naito?"

Boa Hancock, who had been delirious with fever on the bed, seemed to hear Naito's voice and instantly opened her eyes.

Not only that, she even sat up abruptly, her flushed face instantly becoming just a rosy hue, and she looked completely radiant.

"Naito, you've come to see me!"

Boa Hancock's eyes sparkled, a mixture of grievance and joy in them.

"This?"

Ain's eyes widened in a moment of confusion.

What happened?

How did this woman recover so quickly?

She had just touched the Pirate Empress's forehead with her own hand; it was frighteningly hot, and her heart rate was completely out of control!

"The doctor is here!"

Just then, Binz arrived with the ship's doctor.

The middle-aged female ship's doctor was still breathing rapidly after the frantic run.

But when she saw the Pirate Empress on the bed, completely radiant, she was somewhat bewildered. "Wasn't there a patient?"

"Give her a checkup."

Naito gestured with his chin toward Boa Hancock.

He already had a rough guess.

Tsk, all I can say is that there are still too many women like that.

"Understood, Vice Admiral Naito."

The ship's doctor nodded slightly. "Vice Admiral Naito, Major Binz, would you please excuse us for a moment?"

Although she is a pirate, she is indeed a woman.

"Um."

Naito nodded slightly, then pulled Binz along, preparing to leave the room.

"Naito!"

Boa Hancock suddenly became anxious and tried to get out of bed, "Don't go—"

"Quiet."

Naito didn't even turn his head. "We'll talk about it after the checkup."
