　Accustomed to his domineering ways, all he wanted at that moment was this woman.

　As for Ye Chen, a wandering swordsman, he was overlooked long ago.

　The greatest tragedy in the world is to possess something that doesn't belong to you and have no ability to protect it.

　Ye Chen, who was having lunch, could roughly guess what this...纨绔子弟 (spoiled brat) was thinking, but he was disdainful of it and did not take any immediate action.

　"You have committed an unforgivable crime by cleaning up the king's meal!"

　Enraged, Hancock pointed her long, slender finger at the three people before her—one master, two servants, and three servants—and pronounced their death sentence.

　The surrounding passengers watched the commotion, showing no intention of offering help. After all, no one wanted to offend a famous person for the sake of an unknown stranger.

　This is undoubtedly extremely unwise! "Grab this woman, I'm going to torture her properly!"

　At this point, Kojiro Mado completely shed his pretentious gentlemanly demeanor, revealing his ugly true nature. Like a man-eating demon, he disregarded everything. His two bodyguards, who appeared to be samurai, were actually more than that in reality.

　The two stepped forward, exuding a formidable aura.

　Some of the passengers on the nearby ship noticed and exclaimed in surprise, "I never expected that the daimyo's son's bodyguard would be a ninja!"

　"Ninjas! They actually hired ninjas as bodyguards!"

　"Those two are in big trouble now!"

　"Mere ants!"

　Are you two trying to oppose me?

　Hancock arrogantly pointed at the two servants, staring down at them with an even more domineering air.

　She is the Queen, and the Queen rules everything! Upon seeing the stunningly beautiful Hanku, the two ninjas, their bulging brows betraying their shame, blushed deeply.

　They subconsciously wanted to say "

　To go against such a beautiful woman, isn't that just plain stupid? He'd even be willing to give up everything he has just to win her smile!

　This is the power of the Devil Fruit, the Love-Love Fruit—an unparalleled charm and attraction, amplified countless times, captivating both men and women; no one can resist it.

　Unless one is blind or enlightened.

　A highly accomplished monk! Ordinary people—Hancock could easily control and enslave them with just a glance! However, most would be the first to turn to stone! "Baka! What are you doing?!"

　nbs

　Kojiro Mado coveted the Empress's beauty, but was even more furious upon seeing his guards in such a state.

　The more this happened, the more he wanted this woman! The two ninja guards immediately snapped out of their reverie, exchanged a glance, and then drew their shuriken.

　"Why!"

　"I am truly disappointed!"

　"However, I have no intention of forgiving anyone who opposes me and who cleans up my king's mess!"

　"Accept judgment from Boa Hancock, the goddess of the moon!"

　"Sweet and refreshing!"

　Hancock makes a heart shape with her hands and emits heart-shaped rays of light from her palms.

　A pink glow enveloped Hancock, bathing her in this ambiguous halo, making her as alluring as the goddess of love.

　Visible to the naked eye, rings of heart-shaped rays shot out, instantly striking two guards, including Mado Kojiro.

　"So cute!"

　I feel like I'm in love!

　"Is this love?!"

　The ninja guard's face was flushed red; he had absolutely no will to fight and stood there, lost in his own fantasies.

　As for Kojiro Mado, his knees buckled, and he revealed an exaggeratedly lecherous face, chuckling foolishly.

　But that wasn't the most terrifying part! After two or three breaths, the three people's bodies slowly petrified in the eyes of all the passengers, eventually turning into solid stone statues, devoid of any life force.

　The passengers were in an uproar, all staring in disbelief at what they were seeing.

　Before anyone could react, a pair of long, slender legs suddenly appeared and shattered all three stone statues into pieces! Boom! The statues collapsed with a deafening roar, crumbling into countless fragments.

　At this moment, someone finally realized that this wasn't a dream; turning into stone really meant death. "If your body is shattered, how could you possibly live?" That was clearly impossible. "Ah!"

　Some female passengers screamed! Hancock stood proudly, hands on her hips! This was the power of the Devil Fruit, the power of love! When struck by the beam of love, those attracted by beauty would instantly turn to stone, like the legendary petrifying eyes of Queen Medusa—extremely vicious and incurable.

　However, this doesn't work on people without lustful desires, and it also doesn't work on people whose attention isn't on the Empress.

　As if making a vow, Empress Hancock solemnly declared, "No matter what evil deeds I commit, the whole world will forgive me, because I am simply too beautiful."

　As soon as she finished speaking, the panicked crowd suddenly fell silent. Hancock looked so beautiful and captivating at that moment.

　Everyone stared intently at the Empress, but this time, no one would dare to lay a finger on her.

　As long as they don't want to be turned into stone statues! As for those three unlucky ringleaders, no one will pity them.

　In the world of ninjas, every day brings death. Even if someone is the son of a daimyo, so what! Afterwards, the restaurant returned to calm, and the passengers ate their lunch without disturbing each other.

　"My king, it's all my fault!"

　At this moment, Hancock looked as if she was admitting her mistake and begging for punishment.

　"You did a great job, absolutely wonderful, how could you be wrong?"

　Ye Chen couldn't help but say

　"It is my greatest mistake to have these lowly people disturb the king's enjoyment."

　(2/3)

　Please forgive me, my king!

　Hancock gripped Ye Chen's arm tightly and said sincerely and tenderly.

Chapter 385 The Empress's Sacrifice

　This content was first published here (second update).

　It takes about two days to travel by water to the Land of Water. The journey is relatively smooth, and Ye Chen has a rare moment of leisure.

　As for the Pirate Empress Hancock, due to her personality, she always tries to curry favor with him from time to time, striving to display her beauty and please him.

　Hancock in the original story is such a girl; she hates things because of her childhood experiences.

　The opposite sex, especially after obtaining the sweet fruit, finds them extremely ugly and dirty.

　Most men in this world lust after her beauty and desire her body, yet their hearts are filled with lewdness and shamelessness.

　Therefore, for these people, petrification is their only fate.

　In the original story, the only one unmoved by her beauty was Luffy, whose head was full of rubber bands.

　This complete idiot probably thinks even the most beautiful woman is less appealing than a Deep Sea King's chicken leg.

　Empress Hancock, on the other hand, believes Luffy to be a man with a pure heart, and the person she admires most in the world.

　Therefore, he was willing to do anything for Luffy, even fighting against the Navy during the Marineford War.

　She is a woman who would give everything for her man.

　Perhaps this is human nature! The more we lack something, the more we crave it! Because of her Devil Fruit powers, Hancock doesn't believe in true love, yet deep down she yearns for a love of her own. Life is sometimes so contradictory, yet surprisingly unified.

　The summoned Hancock clearly inherited this personality trait; Ye Chen was immune to her beauty and was her ruler, which is why she acted this way.

　Inside a quaint and elegant room on the merchant ship, Ye Chen, dressed in loose-fitting pajamas, lay on a chair, eyes closed in rest.

　Hancock, dressed in a purple dress, obediently and considerately massaged his back, fanned him, and helped to soothe his muscles and tendons.

　Gentle fingers caressed his body, and every now and then a jolt of electricity would send a jolt of sensation through his brain—a wondrous and unforgettable feeling.

　Hancock's beautiful eyes were gentle, as if they held a pool of spring water that could melt away everything in the world.

　No one can resist her beauty, but not everyone can possess her.

　Ye Chen had both! A smile appeared on his lips, and although his eyes were closed, one could feel the contentment in his heart.

　No wonder ancient emperors were willing to abandon their vast and prosperous empires for the sake of beautiful women, and from then on, they neglected their morning court sessions; there's a reason for this.

　The allure of pleasure is a graveyard for heroes, and wine and women are slow poisons that numb the spirit.

　This is common knowledge, but many people still choose to be poisoned by it.

　Ye Chen suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Does that mean you'll never refuse to do anything I ask?"

　Upon hearing this, Hancock, who was gently massaging his back, trembled, a blush creeping across her face as she covered her mouth and said, "My King, what do you want me to do?"

　Guess!

　Ye Chen laughed heartily and suddenly turned over.

　*Ahem*, I'll skip the next ten thousand words! Two and a half days later, the merchant ship carrying Ye Chen finally arrived at the coast of the Land of Water.

　He was alone when he disembarked; Hancock had vanished due to the time limit of the summoning.

　Recalling the absurdity of the three days on the ship, Ye Chen himself felt...
