Chapter 545 Ring Finger

The latest website: As the former emperor of the Nine Snakes, Glorioza lived to this age and met many men.

Among them, there are two outstanding men who let the previous two nine snake emperors die of physical weakness due to excessive lovesickness.

However, none of these men can compare to Maud.

It's too dangerous, it's really too dangerous...

From Maud, Glorioza felt a sense of crisis that he had never had before.

She thinks-

The existence of Maud may destroy the entire Nine Snake Kingdom.

The strong sense of crisis brought even stronger unease to Glorious.

If it weren't for his lack of ability, Glorioza would never want to see Maud take a step into the Nine Serpents.

Maud's sight is not a decoration, and he can clearly feel the hostility and jealousy from Glorious.

He didn't know what Glorioza was thinking, and he had no interest in knowing.

It is just an old man who has passed his old age, and he is too lazy to go into it.

"sister!!!"

Sandasonia and Marigold surrounded Hancock with a look of bewilderment on their faces.

Even in their dreams, they would never have imagined that the elder sister they had always admired would one day be turned into stone by her own abilities.

"How to do……?"

The two, who had never encountered such a situation, didn't know what to do.

Because they have only seen Hancock turn others into stone, even if they sometimes go to dispel the petrification, Hancock himself must use his abilities.

But now it's Hancock turned to stone by his own abilities...

How to release?

"Anyone of you get some sea water, maybe it will be useful."

Maud glanced at the two sisters who were at a loss, and gave an order.

Most Devil Fruit ability effects,

All will fail due to seawater or sea floor stones.

Hancock's petrification ability is likely to be dispelled by sea water.

This is Maud's guess. Whether it is useful or not, we have to wait for Sandasonia and the others to bring the sea water.

The sisters Sandasonia and Marigold did not hesitate to follow Maud's instructions to get the sea water, but within a few seconds, they ran out of the huge palace.

Instead, Maud took two steps forward and stared at the stone surface of Hancock's body from a close distance.

Is this because Hancock was attacked by his ability, or turned himself into a stone?

If it is the former, then you have to rely on external force to remove the petrification.

If it is the latter, it should be able to disarm the ability on its own.

But whether it is the former or the latter, I am afraid that Hancock will only continue to petrify like this.

Maud thought Hancock was funny.

But that's one of the few cute things about Hancock.

"Fortunately, I didn't put this ring on your hand..."

Maud muttered to himself in his heart.

Just handing a ring made Hancock petrified.

Those who didn't know, thought he was a sweet fruit person.

It's hard to imagine what would happen if he took the initiative to put the ring on Hancock's finger.

"Yo hoo hoo..."

Brook looked at Hancock in a petrified state and sighed sincerely: "I always think the captain is a terrible man."

"Lust, this is the first time I think what you said makes sense."

Perona glanced at Brooke.

He turned Hancock, who possessed the power of sweet fruit, into stone just by charm. In a sense, his own captain was really a terrible man.

Brooke looked at Perona and hesitated.

He hoped that Perona would stop calling him lustful.

But thinking that most of the people in the group have been nicknamed by Perona, and considering the threat of the passive ghost, he gave up the plan to make Perona change his tune.

After a while.

The two Boya sisters finally returned.

The two of them came back with a large basin of water.

Maud looked at the size of the basin, originally intended to wash Hancock's body with sea water.

Now that the basin was so big, he simply rolled up Hancock with his shadow and slowly put her into the basin filled with sea water.

wow-

Hancock, slightly heavy due to petrification, sank into the basin with a little splash.

The shadow tentacles wrapped around Hancock's body entered the water together, and immediately melted into the invisible like spring snow.

Sea water is the nemesis of the able.

Nature can also restrain the shadows that Maud ripped from the shadows.

"I'm not sure if this will work, but it's something to try."

Maud removed the shadow and looked at Hancock, who was soaked in sea water.

Sandasonia and Marigold heard the words and nodded silently.

At this moment, they reluctantly calmed down, and also thought of the restraint relationship between sea water and ability.

So Maud is right, this is indeed a way.

It's just that no one knows whether it will work or not until the results come out.

Everyone in the field looked at Hancock in the basin.

About five or six seconds passed...

The stone on Hancock's body suddenly began to slough off and dissipate.

"Looks useful."

Maud looked calm.

If the sea can't dispel Hancock's petrification, he'll have a headache.

Because according to the original plan, he planned to leave in the evening.

If Hancock keeps petrifying, it will only delay his time.

Sandasonia and Marigold don't know what Maud is thinking.

They saw that Hancock's petrification began to dissipate, and they were surprised at almost the same time.

Gruriosa was silent by the side.

"As soon as Hancock wakes up, let her go to the next room to see me as soon as possible, and tell her that I don't want to wait too long."

After Maud left a sentence, he turned and left to go to the next room.

Perona and Brooke followed closely behind Maud.

The two Boya sisters looked at Maud's back, and naturally they would not have any objection.

within the basin.

The stone on Hancock's body is fading fast.

About half a minute.

Hancock's body returned to normal.

"Concubine... what's wrong...?"

She woke up leisurely, a hint of doubt flashed across her eyes.

Looking at Hancock's reaction after waking up, Glorioza realized that Hancock didn't take the initiative to petrify himself, but was really petrified by Maud...

Next room.

Maud used the shadow to fabricate a sofa out of thin air.

Compared with the wooden chair of Nine Snakes, he still thinks that the sofa is better to sit on.

Maud sat in the center, while Brooke and Perona sat on the sides.

Half an hour passed.

The door was suddenly pushed open.

Hancock, who had changed his clothes, walked in.

Sandasonia and Marigold followed behind Hancock like guards.

Hancock stepped forward, and when he saw Maud on the sofa, his heart beat like an engine again.

But this time, she didn't back down, took a deep breath, and then strode towards Maud with the attitude of an empress.

Maud calmly watched Hancock approach.

Compared with the previous fainting, Hancock is normal now, and it is what Maud is willing to see.

Otherwise, there is no need to talk about it.

"sit."

Maud pointed to the single sofa directly in front.

Hancock followed Maud's guidance and slowly sat down on the sofa.

And Sandasonia and Marigold stood quietly behind Hancock.

Maud looked at Hancock and said straight to the point: "I came to Nine Snake Island this time, besides wanting to personally deliver the gift to you, there is one more thing I want to ask for your help."

"no problem!"

Hancock expressed his attitude without hesitation.

"You agreed without asking?"

"For Lord Maud, no matter what, the concubine is willing to do it!"

Hancock's eyes were like waves running over Maud.

Her heart seemed to be rushing out of her chest, which made her quite uncomfortable.

But even so, she would not hide her admiration for Maud.

Not every man can resist this kind of love view that moths fearlessly rush to the flame.

Maud actually knew that.

No matter what request he makes, Hancock, who loves him as blazingly hot as the sun, will do everything in his power to satisfy him without reservation.

But--

What he wants Hancock to help this time is tantamount to letting Hancock return to the abyss.

"yes……"

Maud looked at Hancock and said solemnly: "Even if it is to attack Mary Joa?"

As soon as this word comes out.

Standing behind Hancock, Sandasonia and Marigold stepped back several steps with fearful faces, as if they were stimulated by something.

Just the word Mariejoa directly evoked their nightmare-like memory.

"For the sake of Lord Maud, even if it is to attack Mary Joa... concubine, I am willing!"

Hancock stared intently at Maud.

Compared to the terrified reactions of Sandasonia and Marigold, there was no fear on Hancock's face.

Not because she had escaped the nightmarish experience of the past, but because—

In her eyes, it was already full of Maud's appearance.

Her heart was full of love for Maud.

In addition, there is no room for other things, including the fear of the Holy Land Mary Joa and the Draco.

Maud was slightly moved, and his heart was filled with waves.

He knew very well how much Hancock feared the Holy Land and the Draco.

That kind of fear is already a deep psychological wound in Hancock's soul.

This time I came to ask Hancock for help. On the one hand, I needed the combat power of the Nine Snakes, and on the other hand, I wanted to let Hancock take this opportunity to overcome the psychological shadow.

Before that, Maude had prepared for Hancock's inability to overcome the psychological shadow.

But now...

He found himself underestimating Hancock.

Or.

Underestimate the love Hancock poured out of himself.

"Hancock."

Maud stood up suddenly.

"Um?"

Hancock looked up at Maud.

Perona and Brook are also looking at Maud, while the sisters Sandasonia and Marigold are still in deep fear and can't extricate themselves.

Maud walked over and took Hancock's right hand.

Such a move instantly turned Hancock's face into a red apple.

Maud took out the ring that he couldn't give out just now, and slowly put it on Hancock's ring finger. The whole action of wearing the ring was extremely gentle.

on the sofa.

Brooke and Perona watched Maud put the ring on Hancock, their eyes straightened.

"Ah this..."

Brooke didn't know the meaning of the ring on the ring finger, but it didn't prevent him from thinking.

Mainly because when Maud wore the ring for Hancock, no matter his expression or action, it was too gentle.

This may also be the first time he has seen Maud like this.

Perona stared blankly, as if she heard a broken heart.

She felt that she was also being attacked by the Devil Fruit ability.

Maud looked down at the ring on Hancock's ring finger and said from his heart, "Thank you, Hancock."

"..."

Hancock's eyes widened, suffocating instantly.

creak creak-

She was caught off guard and petrified again on the spot.

And this time, the petrification speed was faster and fiercer, almost turning into stone in a second.

This is the second time.

So Maud is even less worried.

He looked at Hancock turned to stone and couldn't help but smile.

This Hancock is so much fun.

If the last step to the vertex can be successfully completed.

Then he will definitely accept Hancock's moth-to-fire love.

so.

He put the ring on Hancock's ring finger.

Although Hancock may not know the implications of this move...

at dusk.

The sun sets in the west, and the sunset glows like fire.

The orange-red afterglow spread all over the Nine Snake Island.

along the coast.

There was no wind and no waves, and the Netherland moored here was motionless.

Lafayette stood on the side of the ship, staring blankly at Nine Snake Island.

Since Maud and the others entered the island, he has maintained this action.

suddenly.

Lafayette's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the edge of the lush forest.

Where they looked, a group of figures came out from the shadows of the forest.

The person in the lead is Maud.

Hancock, Perona, Brook, and the female warriors of the Nine Snakes followed behind Maud.

Lafayette saw them, and a smile slowly appeared on his expressionless face.

With the feeling that the empress treats her own captain...

Although Lafayette knew it could happen, he was still a little uneasy until he saw it happen.

Now.

In the team that was preparing to attack Mary Joa, there was another reliable fighting force.

When the last rays of the sunset disappeared.

The ship of the Nine Snake Pirates was dragged away from the island by two huge sea snakes.

ashore.

A group of women headed by the two Boya sisters waved goodbye to the departing ship of the Nine Snake Pirates.

After all, Sandasonia and Marigold couldn't overcome their fear of Marijoa and the Dragons, so they could only stay on the island of Nine Snakes.

The other female warriors of the Nine Snake Pirates basically set out with Hancock.

This is a team that can skillfully use armed colors, and its comprehensive combat power should not be underestimated.

Because of the ship of the Nine Snake Pirates, Maud simply put the Netherland into the shadow box, and boarded the ship of the Nine Snake Pirates with Lafayette and the others.

Driven by the efforts of the sea snakes, the ships of the Nine Snake Pirates sailed faster and faster.

"Lord Maud, this soup is too hot, my concubine will help you cool down a bit."

"Lord Maud, the concubine will feed you."

"Lord Maud..."

As the Nine Snake Pirates sailed away from the island, Hancock's voice echoed over the quiet windless belt.

Brook and Bailey, as well as the women of the Nine Snake Pirates, all stared at Hancock, who was trying his best to serve Maud.

Is this still the empress they know?

"By the way, why didn't you see that flat-chested girl?"

Bailey suddenly thought of something and asked about Perona's whereabouts.

Brook was silent for a while after hearing the words, and then slowly said:

"Mr. Bailey, I didn't know until today that those who were originally capable would be attacked by their abilities."

"???"
