Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 199: The Mark of the Celestial Dragons

Chapter 199: The Mark of the Celestial Dragons
The night is pleasant, with a faint silver light making the sky under the moon as transparent as a cicada's wing.

The lights of thousands of houses on Nine Snake Island were on, but the palace was deserted and quiet.

In the back hall where the emperor lived, the three sisters stared at a dying figure in a coffin-like wooden box in front of them, with his limbs pierced by a dagger and nailed to the wooden board.

Hancock gritted her teeth and had a gloomy expression on her face. Her five fingers tightly grasped the pet snake under her seat, causing it to reveal a painful expression but not dare to make a sound.

There was a hint of anger, fear, and extreme hatred in her eyes. She stared at the other person hatefully for a long time before she squeezed out a few words with difficulty.

"Cover up the boards!"

"Ah, yes."

Santasonia, the green-haired middle daughter, came to her senses and hurriedly picked up the wooden board of the long box and slammed the lid shut.

This was sent by the female warriors, who said it was a gift from the Straw Hat Pirates. Hancock took a look out of curiosity.

But he never expected that the so-called gift was actually a living celestial dragon!

There was also a note inside, with only a few simple words on it, and no compliments.

"The World Government probably thinks he's dead. You can do whatever you want with him without involving Nine Snakes. If you don't like him, just return him and don't mess with him."

There wasn't even a signature, but from today's meeting, Hancock roughly guessed it was Roronoa, because the coldness he displayed seemed like someone who would say such a thing.

It's normal for her to guess the wrong person. Zoro has always been very cold, but Reiner is different. He is only cold towards his enemies.

Hancock slowly stood up and walked outside in silence.

"Where are you going sister."

"Nami and the others are in the bathhouse, right?"

"Yes." Marigorude responded and quickly caught up.

In the bathhouse, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Nine Snakes members got along very well, talking and laughing about their respective adventures.

Usopp, who was extremely shy at first, also boasted boldly about his achievements.

"Let me tell you! Reiner was almost killed by Crocodile. At this critical moment, I fired the shot that turned the tide of the battle!"

Usopp had a smug look on his face. He stretched out his hand and made a pistol gesture, gesticulating vividly, attracting countless admiring glances from the people around him.

A team of maids pulled several carts, delivering vegetables, fruits and special foods one after another.

At the edge of the hot spring, Reiner had most of his body soaked in the water, and he was leaning against the rough stone wall with Luffy, Chopper, Brook and several other ability users.

“Although I feel weak all over, I feel really comfortable.”

Brooke placed a folded towel on his forehead and tilted his head back with a look of enjoyment, "My heart is about to be melted by the hot spring, even though I'm a skeleton and don't have a heart, yohohoho~~."

"What a miraculous ability! It can actually keep you alive even though you are just a skeleton."

Gendan sat on the hot spring next to Reiner, looking at Brook curiously. When he saw the maids bringing food, he waved to them to push it over.

"Oh! There are delicious foods in the hot springs!"

Luffy opened his mouth in excitement and almost drooled, "Sanji is right! This place is simply heaven, hahahaha!"

Before the cart came up, he couldn't wait to stretch out his hand to grab the food.

Under the maid's surprised gaze, he stuffed a huge piece of sea king steak into his mouth, puffing up his entire face.

Long Dan, who was watching from the side, was amazed, "Can all men be able to expand and shrink as freely as Luffy-sama?"

"Ahem, that's not wrong, it's only limited to certain parts."

Reiner explained awkwardly, "Luffy is an exception. He is a rubber man who ate the rubber fruit."

"So that's how it is." Longdan curiously reached out and pulled Luffy's face for a bit.

He took some food from the cart at the back and handed it over with a smile, "Master Reiner, try it too. These are the sea king dishes that are our Nine Snakes' specialty."

Due to its geographical location in the doldrums, Nine Snake Island has almost no way to trade with the outside world.

Various supplies are extremely scarce and can only be replenished by relying on the plunder of pirates. Only food is never lacking here.

They are all brave and good at fighting, and are all powerful warriors who have mastered the color of armament. The calm belt filled with sea kings is their natural hunting ground.

"Speaking of which, you guys are really amazing."

Zoro couldn't help but sigh. When he learned that all the warriors here could use Haki, he was deeply shocked.

"You are the ones who deserve more admiration."

Longdan lit a cigarette and chuckled, "I didn't expect that you would come from Impel Down after causing such a commotion. Are you going to Marinford later?"

"Of course!"

Luffy stuffed his mouth with meat and spoke incoherently, "I must rescue Ace!"

"According to the time, we will probably leave tomorrow afternoon."

Reiner looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, then turned his head and said, "The clothes are in the dressing room. Give me one."

"Well, you guys should relax tonight."

Longdan smiled and nodded, subconsciously picked up the cigarette box and found that it was empty, then took out the cigarette in his mouth and handed it over.

"You have been to Sky Island, right? Can you tell me what it's like there?"

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Chopper quickly jumped onto Reiner's head, gesticulating with his hands and shouting excitedly: "We rode the ocean current! There were so many magical shells there!"

Deep inside the hot spring, in a small hot spring surrounded by a screen, Nami and Perona soaked most of their bodies in the hot spring. Robin also leaned against the stone wall to support her weak body from being submerged, while she sat by the hot spring wrapped in a bathrobe.

"They seem to be very lively outside." Listening to the noise outside, Nami sank down with only her head exposed above the water, and couldn't help but speak softly.

Seeing her expression, Robin smiled and asked tentatively, "Do you want me to help you see what they are doing?"

"No, I don't care about him." Nami turned her face away, looking indifferent.

"I'm talking about them, who are you talking about?"

Robin joked, which made Nami blush.

"Dazzled!"

As Robin closed his eyes and activated his ability, a pair of eyes immediately grew outside the screen, taking in the entire bathhouse.

Sanji's eyes were filled with love and his face was red. He was surrounded by a group of girls. He looked like a crazy fan and was almost unconscious.

The others were basically leaning against the hot spring, chatting and laughing with the Nine Snakes’ people, but they were just chatting and eating.

"It's quite unexpected."

Robin retracted his ability, looked down at Nami, and chuckled, "Make sure it's safe."

"Don't do anything unnecessary, Robin. I'm not that kind of person."

Nami opened her mouth softly, lowering her mouth so that only half of her head was exposed, and bubbles were gurgling in the water in front of her.

At this time, several figures walked in from behind the screen. Robin looked and saw that they were the three Hancock sisters.

"Hancock?"

Wow!

Seeing the person coming, Nami couldn't help but feel puzzled and stood up with half of her body exposed.

After all, the other party is the emperor of a country and he politely entertained their group of people, so it is only right for them to show their respect.

"Don't worry, Miss Nami. I'm just here to take a bath in the hot spring."

Hanku raised his hand to stop Nami, and in front of the shocked gazes of his two younger sisters behind him, he took off his clothes without any cover to reveal his body.

The fair and smooth skin and the slender and almost perfect lines outlined a body that was so beautiful that even Robin and others couldn't help but blush.

But the two sisters behind him looked terrified!
"elder sister?!"

"The mark will be!!"

"It's okay." Hancock interrupted the two with a calm face. While Nami and the others looked confused, she slowly walked down the hot spring and submerged half of her body in the water.

"What's wrong?" Nami was a little confused. We are all women, you have it, I have it, and everyone has it. Is it necessary to pay attention to this when taking a hot spring bath?

Hancock asked calmly, "You must have seen a lot of slaves in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"Ah, I did see it."

Nami's expression darkened. They had indeed seen various slaves wearing explosive collars around their necks, being led by people of noble status. Xiao Ba had also explained it to them.

"--call."

Hancock slowly turned around, gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, reached out and lifted up the back covered by the dark hair, and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever seen this mark?"

"what is this?"

"The Hoof of the Nine-Sky Flying Dragon?"

Compared to Nami's confusion, Robin's pupils shrank. He obviously recognized it at the first sight. He looked incredulous, "That is the mark branded on the slaves by the Celestial Dragons."

"Well, it's hard to imagine that as a concubine of the emperor of a country, I used to be a slave."

Hancock let down her hair, slowly turned around and looked at them in silence.

The air suddenly fell into silence and no one spoke.

No wonder there was such a performance during the day, and Reiner and Zoro, who killed the Celestial Dragons, were allowed to enter as an exception.

Nami's thoughts were churning, as if some dark memories were evoked, and she couldn't help but look down at the blue tattoo on her arm.

The pattern is a windmill and an orange, which is the mark of the former Arlong Pirates that she scraped off with a knife and then tattooed on it.

"That must be a sad memory," Nami murmured.

She and Robin had equally unfortunate childhoods, but fortunately, they met partners who redeemed their hearts.

I couldn't help but think of the time when I was chased by the Crow Pirates in the East China Sea.

What would happen to her now if that man hadn't jumped onto her boat?

Reiner: I will go directly to Cocosia Village to find you. I have always been going for you. You didn't expect that.

Looking up, Nami didn't say anything to comfort him, but just smiled and said, "Hancock, do you want to hear our story?"

".I agree."

Nami: "."

When some of the girls gathered together open their hearts and start talking, this night is destined not to end easily.

 Um, not finished yet, haha.
