Chapter 172 Hancock is shocked: You killed a Celestial Dragon?!
Hancock, back in her chambers, looked at the statue of Granny Zaza, who was being protected by Aniseda and the others, and her expression was somewhat complicated.
Even now, she still can't understand why the other party would make such a request.
After all... the other party had something on her...
Looking at the silent Hancock, Xiyan said, "Let's dissolve Granny Za's stone."
As he spoke, west Yan released his control over Ainishida and the others.
He's back now, so there's no need to keep these guys under control anymore.
"Buzz~"
"Huh?"
The moment she regained consciousness, a hint of confusion appeared in Anishida's eyes.
Was she in this position just now?
Just then, she saw Hancock standing with Xiyan and exclaimed in surprise, "Lady Snake Princess?"
"Why is Lady Snake standing with a man...?"
The soldiers inside looked on in confusion, wondering what had just happened.
It's like having a part of your memory missing!
"Who were they just now...?" Marigold asked.
"Ah, I just hypnotized them temporarily to keep them in line," west Yan said.
Marigold: ? ? ?
They really have Anishida and the others under their control, huh?
What a... terrifying man!
"You despicable man, what have you done?"
"Lady Snake Princess, what exactly is going on?"
"It's nothing, you may all leave now." Hancock waved her hand and said, "Also, from now on, no one except Sandersonia is allowed to enter the palace, understand?!"
Anishida blinked. Although she didn't know what had happened, she had no choice but to obey since the Snake Princess had spoken.
Thinking of this, Anishida nodded and said, "Yes, Lady Snake Princess."
Afterwards, Anishida led the warriors inside the house away.
Hancock ignored them and strode towards Grandma.
Once she reached the front, she deactivated her Devil Fruit power.
"Um?"
Grandma, now back to normal, glanced at Hancock with a puzzled look, her mind going blank for a moment.
"Hancock?"
"Um."
This time, Hancock didn't nitpick and nodded in agreement.
This surprised my mother-in-law.
Then, Grandma gradually remembered what had just happened.
She remembered... Hancock seemed to be trying to petrify Xiyan, and then she jumped over to push him away.
And then... when I saw Hancock again, she was right in front of me.
Does this mean she was just petrified?
This girl really doesn't hold back... wait a minute!
Where is Xi Yan?!
Thinking of this, Grandma said, "Hancock, what have you done to Xiyan?"
"Grandma, I'm here."
Seeing that his mother-in-law was still worried about him, west Yan's face immediately lit up with a smile.
Upon hearing west Yan's words, Granny Za instinctively turned around to look.
After she saw west Yan's appearance clearly, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're alright..."
She was genuinely afraid that Hancock would use her Devil Fruit powers to petrify West Flame and then crush it with a single kick.
Oops... Wait a minute!!
Suddenly, my mother-in-law noticed something was wrong.
Where did west Yan's jacket go?
Wait, Hancock is wearing what looks like Xiyan's coat!
Grandma turned around and glanced at Hancock walking towards her seat, and a look of shock immediately appeared in her eyes.
It really is his coat.
No, what exactly happened while she was petrified?
Thinking of this, Grandma asked, "What's going on?"
"Ah, we had a fight," west Yan said.
Mother-in-law: ? ? ?
They had a fight?
With Hancock?
Seeing that west Yan had no injuries, Grandma was completely speechless.
She was very clear about just how strong Hancock was.
It can be said that even when facing a Navy Admiral, Hancock is capable of putting up a fight.
But this kid didn't even get hurt when he faced Hancock?
Is this reasonable?
"So... I underestimated this kid's strength?" Grandma Za thought in shock.
"He did get into a fight with my sister," Marigold said. "Right over there in the hills behind us."
"The place is completely destroyed."
My mother-in-law: ...
Grandma was speechless. After such a fierce battle, he was still able to emerge unscathed... This kid's strength was definitely more terrifying than she had imagined.
In that light... they really do qualify to participate in this war.
"Grandma," Hancock stopped and turned to look at Grandma, saying, "What were you trying to say before?"
"Did I say anything?"
A question mark popped up above the mother-in-law's head. How come she couldn't remember what she had said?
"After being petrified, will there be a brief period of memory confusion...?" west Yan thought to himself, "And it seems he won't know what happened after being petrified."
In a sense, this ability is essentially sealed.
The question is whether the next generation of Devil Fruit users will be able to remove the petrification effect from the previous generation.
If possible, there are quite a few things that can be done.
After suppressing that thought, Xi Yan said, "Grandma, what you really wanted to say was: I'm Xia Qi's friend."
"Ah... oh yes, yes, yes!"
Reminded by west Yan, Grandma Zha also remembered and nodded, saying, "That's indeed it."
"Hancock, Xiyan is Shakky's friend, so please help him out."
Hearing Grandma's words, Hancock glanced at Xiyan with some surprise and said, "I didn't expect you to know Xia Qi."
Marigold looked at Xiyan with some surprise; this was too much of a coincidence.
"Ah, we have a pretty good relationship," west Yan said with a smile.
If it weren't for Xia Qi's information, they might not have been able to find Mei Li.
"He knows not only Xia Qi, but also Lei Li," Grandma Za added.
Upon hearing this, both Hancock and Marigold fell silent.
The people who once helped them all now know this guy... Is this fate?
"I don't know why you two started fighting, nor do I know why you two were able to return here so calmly."
But... now that you're back, let's talk.
After speaking, Granny Za paused for a moment, then said, "west Yan's idea is simple: he just needs to obtain the permanent log pointer to the Marine Headquarters."
Grandma blurted out everything she wanted to say, afraid that Hancock, that willful girl, would interrupt her again.
"Grandma, we've already reached an agreement," west Yan said.
"Have you reached an agreement?"
The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment. How did she do that?
"Yes, it's settled."
"What did you all say?"
This time, west Yan didn't answer, but looked at Hancock.
There's something special about this woman, and he's not sure if his mother-in-law knows, so he won't answer the question easily.
Noticing Xi Yan's gaze, Hancock paused for a moment, then used her Observation Haki to scan the entire palace. After confirming that there was no one else on this floor, she slowly spoke, "He... saw the mark on my back."
My mother-in-law: !!!
Upon hearing Hancock's words, Grandma's expression immediately changed.
She knew all too well what that meant.
Could it be... that this kid managed to get Hancock to compromise through threats?
Perhaps sensing her mother-in-law's thoughts, Hancock continued, "He didn't threaten me; instead, he made a deal with me."
"trade?"
A question mark popped up above Grandma's head: What kind of deal could make Hancock compromise?
"I can help her remove the mark on her back," west Yan explained. "In exchange, she has to remove your petrification state and give me the permanent log pointer to Marine Headquarters."
Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law fell silent.
The fact that Xiyan could use some kind of ability to remove the mark on Hancock's back truly surprised her.
But what surprised her even more was that the young man's first condition was to save her!
For a moment, Grandma's feelings were quite complicated.
"Thinking about it carefully, the fact that this kid didn't threaten Hancock because of this speaks volumes about his character."
This kid might...
With that in mind, Grandma made a decision.
Just then, Sandasonia ran in from outside, saying, "Big sister, I'm back."
"Is everything resolved?"
"Hmm." Sandersonia nodded and said, "The Straw Hat Luffy requested a lot of meat, and I've already asked Kikyo and the others to prepare it."
"Once it's done, I'll send it to Grandma's."
It has to be said that Straw Hat Boy's appetite is truly astonishing.
Along the way, the other party ate countless large chunks of meat, yet they seemed completely unharmed... I wonder what's wrong with their body.
"Thank you," west Yan nodded to Sandasonia.
"Hmph, I'm just following my older sister's orders."
west Yan simply smiled at this and didn't seem to care.
"Big sister, what brings you here?" Sandasonia asked.
"This guy can help me remove the mark on my back," Hancock said. "I'm going to have him try."
"Huh?!"
Upon hearing Hancock's words, Sandersonia was stunned, then said incredulously, "Big sister, you told him about this?"
"He saw it himself."
Sandasonia:
Sandasonia fell silent. Did the other party actually see it themselves?
If that's the case...
"Clang!"
Armament Haki wrapped around his arms, and a fierce glint appeared in Sandersonia's eyes.
She's going to kill this guy!
"Stop, Sandersonia!"
"Sister, he must be lying to you!" Sandasonia said. "I don't believe he could do such a thing."
"Kill him, we will."
"Sandasonia!!!"
"Big sister."
Upon seeing Hancock's incredibly stern gaze, Sandersonia trembled, and then her arm fell limply to her side.
She just wanted to keep their secret, what did she do wrong?
Seeing Sandersonia's state, Hancock's heart softened, and she sighed, "Sandersonia, we have no other choice."
Sandasonia: ? ? ?
Sandsonia glanced at Hancock, then at Marigold, who had her head down, and a look of doubt appeared in her eyes.
Did something happen that she doesn't know about?
"Step down, Sandasonia."
Sandasonia paused for a moment, then walked over to Marigold's side without saying anything more.
"Don't worry, I won't lie to you," west Yan said.
Hearing west Yan's words, Sandasonia turned her head and gave him a cold look, saying, "Whether it is true or not, I will see it clearly myself."
Since her older sister had already spoken, she couldn't say anything more.
But... if the other party is deceiving her, she will kill that guy even if it means death!
"When can we begin?" Hancock asked.
"I'm ready anytime," west Yan said. "I always carry my tools with me."
As he spoke, west Yan took out a sealing scroll containing a set of surgical tools specifically designed for delicate procedures.
Mary Gorud looked at the scroll in west Yan's hand with a puzzled expression, wondering what it was for.
Could it be that this is the tool the other party used to remove the mark?
Just then, Grandma suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute!"
"Um?"
Hearing Grandma's words, the other four were all taken aback.
"What's wrong?"
Just as west Yan was about to lift the seal, he turned back to look at Granny Zha with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
Could it be... that they want me to explain the surgical procedure?
That's not a problem, it's just... whether the other person can understand it.
"Before that, I want to say something."
As she spoke, Granny Za took out the newspaper from which Xiyan had killed three Celestial Dragons and held it up to Hancock.
"This is... a newspaper?" Marigold asked疑惑地. "Grandma, what are you trying to say?"
Sandasonia looked at her mother-in-law with confusion, wondering what her old lady was up to.
Hancock stared blankly at the words on the newspaper, then walked over step by step, her body trembling slightly.
"Oh my god," Grandma Za said seriously, "that's right, a major news story that shocked the world happened not long ago!"
"At the auction of Tree Number One in the Sabaody Archipelago, three Celestial Dragons were killed."
"And the one who killed them... is the man standing in front of you."
"The Blood-Eyed Ninja with a Bounty of 4 Million Berries - Xiyan!"
"Thump~"
"Thump~"
"Thump~"
With three muffled thuds, the three Hancock sisters collapsed to the ground.
Not only that, but cold sweat appeared on the faces of all three women at the same time, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
west Yan: ? ? ?
west Yan looked at the three of them, puzzled, wondering what was going on this time.
It's just that three Celestial Dragons died, why are they acting like they've suffered a huge shock?
Could it be... that these Celestial Dragons have some kind of relationship with them?
Thinking of this, west Yan frowned.
After seeing this scene, Grandma sighed deeply.
"Why.
She knew it would be like this.
"They killed a Celestial Dragon..."
Sandasonia stared at Xiyan in disbelief. This man actually... dared to kill a god?!
"Who exactly are you...?" Marigold asked, trembling.
"I?"
"I'm just an ordinary ninja."
"general:
A person who dares to kill a Celestial Dragon claims to be just an ordinary ninja... Is this what a strong person is?
"You...you really killed a Celestial Dragon?" Hancock asked, trembling as she looked at Xiyan. "You...really 77..."
"ah."
west Yan nodded and said, "Those three guys were planning to take my friends and companions away as slaves, so I killed them."
Hancock: !!!
Looking at Xiyan, who said those words so casually, Hancock clenched her fists and gripped the hem of her clothes tightly in her hands.
What she never expected was that there would actually be someone in this world who dared to attack a Celestial Dragon, and even kill three of them at once!
"Incredible... there really are people like that..."
"Dare to challenge the heavens..."
Hancock trembled all over, tears streaming down her face.
It's as if... the mountain that weighed on my heart has been moved away.
Finally, the woman couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears, covering her face.
