Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Is this a joke?

"Let's go find that snake princess. I'll go borrow a boat from her."

As Luffy easily dodged the attacks, he said, "This isn't the New World. Going back to Sabaody Archipelago is easy."

"Borrow a boat? Do you even know where Boa Hancock is?!"

Perona thought Luffy was just being delusional.

"Yes, I can already sense that guy's powerful aura, it's in that direction!"

Luffy looked at the highest point on the roof and said, "As expected of a Shichibukai, his aura is very noticeable!"

Perona had considerable skepticism about the so-called loan of the boat.

That's one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

This is simply walking into a trap.

However, with Luffy as their captain, they sped all the way to the roof of the castle tower.

It was a close call, but at least we managed to shake off the kingdom's guards and escaped detection.

Perona had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she was safe for the time being, and was about to complain when she saw Luffy take a few steps on the roof, then suddenly lose his footing and fall off.

The roof didn't seem very sturdy.

"Hey!"

Why does she feel like she has more worries than when she was on Thriller Bark?

"Luffy!"

Perona screamed and quickly floated to the edge of the hole to look down.

Below is a huge, steamy bathhouse.

"I am fine."

Luffy adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed lightly, only getting a little wet from the splashing hot spring water.

This place is quite flimsy.

Luffy turned his head and fixed his gaze on the center of the bathtub.

The rising white steam gradually dissipated, revealing a flawless female body with her back to him.

Her long, dark hair was wet and cascaded down her back, with water droplets sliding down her graceful spine.

However, Luffy's gaze was drawn to a dark brand tattoo resembling a dragon's hoof print in the center of his back.

His expression faltered slightly.

"Where do I look at this tattoo before?"

Just then, the woman in the bath seemed to notice the movement behind her and turned around abruptly.

Eyes facing each other.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Sorry, sorry, did I bother you?" Luffy had a bit of a toothache.

Why does he always seem to encounter this situation?

Sanji: "......."

man?

Cracks appeared on Boa Hancock's perpetually proud and perfect face.

A secret concerning life and dignity has been revealed!

Almost instinctively, she crouched down abruptly, submerging her body into the water until only her head remained above water, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly:

"you saw it?"

Luffy nodded and honestly admitted it.

You can't just say you didn't see it when you did.

He's not blind; the angle is too clear, he can see everything.

Pure white and flawless...it's all white.

Inside the bathhouse, the lingering heat had not yet completely dissipated, and the air was thick with awkwardness and a sudden surge of murderous intent.

"sister!"

Just as Luffy turned around, he heard hurried footsteps and shouts coming from the entrance of the bathhouse.

Upon hearing the unusual commotion inside, Boa Santasonia and Boa Marigold rushed in.

They immediately spotted Hancock in the bathtub and Luffy, soaking wet, standing below the hole, and their expressions changed drastically.

man?

"Why are there men in the kingdom?!"

Santasonia gasped in surprise, but her movements were swift. She grabbed a spare, gorgeous coat from the side, jumped into the pool, and carefully draped it over Hancock, covering most of her exposed skin.

Marie-Goddess immediately stepped in front of Hancock, glaring warily at Luffy, "Who are you?"

"Monkey D. Luffy, I am..."

"He saw it, from behind."

Hancock interrupted Luffy.

The moment she put on her clothes, she regained a little support, but the shame and fear of her secret being exposed made her stiff.

These words struck Santasonia and Marie Gothia like a thunderclap.

The color drained from their faces instantly, replaced by terror and anger.

They knew better than anyone what that brand meant to their older sister and to the three sisters.

That is an indelible past, a scar that must be covered up with pride and lies, a secret that is enough to overturn everything they have on Amazon Lily!

"In that case, you can only die." Sonia and Mary both assumed attack stances.

They were filled with doubt: how did this man manage to break through the windless zone and the kingdom's guards and sneak into the deepest part of the bathhouse without a sound?

"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Luffy quickly waved his hand, but his body shifted slightly as if he had foreseen the future, perfectly dodging the two attacks.

He looked at Hancock, who was being protected by her sisters, and tried to explain, "You must be Boa Hancock, right? I came to talk to you about something, but I didn't know you were taking a bath."

This was purely accidental.

Who knew she would take a shower in broad daylight?

Even Observation Haki doesn't grant X-ray vision.

"You must call me Lady Snake Princess!" Hancock corrected sharply.

At this moment, she was extremely concerned about the title that symbolized status and distance.

A mixture of shame and indignation, along with a sense of being offended and defeated, caused her to stand up abruptly. Despite being covered by her outer clothing, her stunning curves and breathtaking beauty still possessed a fatal impact.

With hands forming a heart shape in front of her chest, pink light gathered within, "Take what you've seen and go to the grave! Beloved Ganfeng!"

A pink heart-shaped beam of light shot rapidly toward Luffy!

"what?"

Luffy frowned, sensing an instinctive warning from his Observation Haki. He pushed off with his feet, blurring his figure as he instantly shifted several meters to the side, narrowly avoiding the beam of light.

He looked at where the light had passed, and the air seemed to distort slightly. "Is it a Devil Fruit ability?"

"Humph!"

Hancock's eyes grew even colder after her first attack missed. Her movements were as fast as a ghost, and she closed the distance between herself and Luffy almost instantly.

Perhaps it was extreme anger that made her lose her usual composure, or perhaps it was her eagerness to silence him. When she rushed up to Luffy, the outer garment she was wearing came undone slightly due to the large movement.

The coat she had just put on couldn't cover everything, and the breathtakingly white curve of her chest was suddenly exposed even more.

Luffy's movements paused instinctively.

Hancock sneered inwardly.

She used to be able to charm men with her looks alone, but this is the first time she's used her physical advantages on men.

Indeed, there is no man in the world who can completely ignore her charm!

The previous attempts to evade the situation were merely lucky; under the impact of such close-up beauty, the flaws would eventually be revealed.

"Obsessed with Gan Feng!"

Without hesitation, she faced Luffy head-on again and unleashed her petrification beam.

However, just as the light was about to hit Luffy, he suddenly reached out and shoved Perona, who had just peeked through the hole, away: "Hey, don't fly in here!"

Hancock's expression froze for a moment, then she instantly understood.

The reason Luffy's movements stopped just now was not because of her charming body, but because her attack trajectory might have hit the pink-haired girl who suddenly peeked out.

In that situation, the man's priority was actually protecting his companion?

Are they companions or lovers?

But that doesn't matter anymore!

Hancock suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. As long as she was struck by the wind of her infatuation, she would obediently turn into... turn into stone?

"Hey, what's going on?"

Perona, who had been pushed aside, regained her balance and floated in the air, looking down at the tense situation with lingering fear.

"It's just a small misunderstanding. Trust your captain, I can handle it."

Luffy shook the water droplets off his hands and made a solemn promise to Perona.

"Idiot captain, is this something that can be calmed down?!"

Perona was so angry she almost fell off the plane.
