Hancock's powerful kick was easily caught by a warm, strong hand.
Su Hui appeared at close range, grabbing her slender ankle with one hand and fixing her stunningly beautiful leg in mid-air.
Hancock instantly lost her balance, ending up in an extremely humiliating position, standing on one leg with the other leg raised high.
Her cheongsam, with its slit up to her waist, thus completely lost its function of concealing her.
Su Hui's gaze followed her ankle, which was being held, and slowly moved upwards.
The gaze swept over her slender calves, rounded knees, and firm, rounded thighs, finally settling on the view beneath her skirt, exposed by her high leg lift.
Beneath the high slit of the cheongsam lay a mysterious shadow and a touch of pure black lace.
He admired her for a few seconds before raising his head to meet Hancock's eyes, which were practically spitting fire with shame and indignation. A smirk played on his lips, and in a voice only the two of them could hear, he whispered suggestively:
"Her legs are beautiful. And... black, very alluring."
boom!
Hancock's mind went blank for a moment, and then an unprecedented surge of shame and anger erupted like a volcano.
humiliation!
An unprecedented humiliation!
She abruptly broke free from Su Hui's grasp, her body trembling violently with extreme rage, her beautiful face filled with murderous intent.
"You...you filthy man! I'm going to kill you!!"
"Sister!" Sandasonia and Marigold were both shocked and furious, and immediately stood in front of Hancock to protect her.
"All personnel! Prepare for battle!"
Captain Kikyo let out a roar, and all the Amazon warriors in the square instantly drew their longbows, their arrows all aimed at Su Hui and his group.
A war is about to break out.
"Stop! All of you, stop right now!"
Just as tensions were about to rise, an old and anxious voice rang out.
Grandma New, leaning on her cane, mustered all her strength and rushed between the two groups, spreading her arms to block the enraged Hancock.
"Boa Hancock! Calm down!" Granny Newt turned to Hancock, her tone more stern than ever before. "This lady is not our enemy!"
Su Hui watched this scene with his smile unchanged. He shrugged, seemingly unconcerned about the situation.
"I'll say it again, I'm here with goodwill. Of course, if you want to greet your guest with a fight, I'm ready to oblige."
His words remained gentle, but the absolute confidence hidden beneath that gentleness sent a chill down the spines of all the Amazon warriors present.
In the end, it was Grandma New who broke the deadlock.
She took a deep breath, turned to Su Hui, and bowed respectfully:
“Mr. Su Hui, please forgive our rudeness. Would you please move to the palace so that we can…have a proper talk?”
Su Hui's gaze passed over her and landed once more on the stunningly beautiful empress, whose body trembled slightly but who still maintained a haughty expression. He nodded.
"can."
.......
Inside a secluded reception room in the Nine Serpents Palace.
The atmosphere remained oppressive. Hancock sat in the main seat, her face cold, but the hand tightly gripping her skirt betrayed her inner turmoil.
Grandma Niu and her two sisters stood on either side, their expressions solemn.
Su Hui casually found a seat and sat down, while his female companions, including Yamato and Runti, waited outside the door.
"Tell me, what exactly is your purpose?"
Hancock spoke first, attempting to regain control with her icy voice. "Your Lin is here, my Lin Yongkong, your Lin is here, are you here...?"
Instead of answering directly, Su Hui asked an unrelated question: "The Sky Soaring Dragon's Hoof... that brand must hurt a lot, right?"
"Bang!"
The teacup in Hancock's hand fell to the ground and shattered.
Her body trembled violently, and her beautiful face, which had maintained its haughty appearance, instantly lost all color, turning as pale as paper.
Her pupils contracted to their maximum size, and her breathing became rapid, as if someone were choking her.
This brand is the deepest and darkest secret in her and her sisters' hearts, a humiliating testament to their status as slaves of the Celestial Dragons!
It's a nightmare they'd rather die than ever mention again!
How could this man know their biggest secret and deepest fear?!
"You...who are you?!"
For the first time, Hancock's voice trembled with undisguised fear, and her high and mighty queen mask shattered completely at that moment.
"elder sister!"
Sandasonia and Marigold also paled, staring at Su Hui in horror as if he were a demon.
Grandma Niu froze, her aged face filled with horror.
She knew the secret, so she understood all too well how devastating those five words were to the Hancock sisters.
"It doesn't matter who I am."
Su Hui put down his teacup and looked calmly at Hancock, who was gripped by immense panic. "The important thing is that I can remove that mark of shame from you."
These words struck the three sisters like a thunderbolt.
"You...what did you say?"
Hancock could hardly believe her ears.
“I said, I can completely erase your past as slaves.”
Su Hui leaned forward slightly, his gaze sharpening. "Boa Hancock, do you think your status as a Shichibukai can protect Kuja forever? You know better than I what the World Government is like. Once you lose your usefulness, or they find a more suitable replacement, what will become of you and your country?"
His words were like a sharp knife, precisely piercing the most vulnerable spot of Amazon Lily.
Grandma Niu's expression grew increasingly solemn. She had thought about these issues before, but she dared not delve into them.
"As for why I know so many secrets..."
Su Hui leaned back in his chair, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. "Because I am not from this world."
This statement is more impactful than anything before.
"No...not from this world?"
Grandma Niu gasped in shock.
"You can think of it this way: I come from a higher-dimensional world."
Su Hui said calmly, "In my world, everything here, including Devil Fruits, Haki, the D clan, the Void Century... is not a secret."
He looked at the stunned Hancock and dropped the final bombshell.
“I came into this world to give you the opportunity for revenge. Join forces to bring down those so-called ‘gods’ descendants of Marineford and crush them from their thrones in the mud.”
"Hunting... Celestial Dragons?!"
Hancock shuddered violently, as if struck by an electric current.
She stared at Su Hui in disbelief. The fear and shock in her beautiful eyes had faded, replaced by a violent surge of hatred, pain, and madness.
Celestial Dragons!
These three words were her lifelong nightmare and the root of all her suffering!
She dreamed of tearing those scumbags to pieces, but she also knew that it was an absolutely impossible dream.
To challenge the Celestial Dragons is to make an enemy of the entire world.
But now, this mysterious man in front of them, in a tone as calm as if he were talking about the weather, uttered the earth-shattering words, "hunting Celestial Dragons."
this moment,
The image of Su Hui in her eyes was completely overturned.
He was no longer a frivolous intruder with unfathomable strength, but someone who dared to challenge the world order, possessing an unimaginable background and goals...
madman?
Or a savior?
"Of course, this is just my short-term goal in this world."
As if the excitement wasn't enough, Su Hui added, "The reason I'm uniting your forces is to prepare for an even greater crisis. A dimensional demon, powerful enough to destroy our entire universe, will soon descend. We don't have much time left; we must take action."
Dimensional Demon?
Destroy the entire universe?
The words Su Hui used were completely beyond Hancock and Granny New's comprehension, but they could sense the terrifying weight they contained, a weight that sent chills down their spines. Night Rain says: Welcome to read this book at 705U.com!
A deathly silence fell over the reception room.
a long time,
Su Hui spoke again, this time with a much gentler tone, and his gaze shifted from scrutiny back to the pure appreciation he had shown at the beginning.
"There is an even simpler reason why I chose Kuja and you, Boa Hancock."
He gazed into her eyes, which were exceptionally captivating due to the intense emotions she was experiencing, and smiled as he said:
"Because I like you very much. Hancock, you've captured my heart. So, how about it, are you interested in being my woman?"
"!"
Straightforward, domineering, and undisguised.
Hancock's heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly by a large hand, and then gently released.
She had heard countless compliments and seen countless infatuated gazes, but no one had ever said "I like you" to her in such a way that it was almost like a declaration of ownership.
A surge of emotion she had never experienced before, burning hot and leaving her feeling helpless, instantly welled up from the bottom of her heart to her cheeks.
She, Boa Hancock, the world's most beautiful woman, the empress who captivated countless men, was actually... blushing.
The blush spread from her fair neck to her ears, making her already stunningly beautiful face even more breathtakingly gorgeous.
She instinctively wanted to adopt a disdainful posture, but found herself stiff all over, without even the strength to lift a finger.
"Alas... I..."
She opened her mouth, but only managed to utter a single, incoherent syllable before quickly closing it again.
like?
This man said he liked her?
This feeling... is so unfamiliar.
It was so unfamiliar that it frightened her, yet it also made her... unable to resist a secret joy and a flutter in her heart.
Seeing Hancock's utterly lost arrogance and her frightened deer-like appearance, Su Hui felt that she was becoming more and more endearing.
finally,
Grandma Niu was the first to react.
Looking at her queen's unusually shy expression, she was both shocked and helpless, and could only let out a long sigh.
She knew that this man had completely shattered the Snake Princess's heart.
She walked forward shakily and bowed deeply to Su Hui.
"Lord Su Hui...please, you and your companions, stay on the island for now. Please give us some time regarding the alliance..."
"of course."
Su Hui stood up, straightened his collar, and said, "I'm not in a hurry."
Grandma New immediately turned around and called out towards the door, "Margaret!"
The blonde Amazon warrior Margaret immediately walked in, and when she saw her Snake Princess blushing and looking shy with her head down, she was completely stunned.
"Lady Snake Princess... what happened to her?"
