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

She has become stronger through her training over the past two years. Even now, when she is some distance away from the Going Merry in port, she can still communicate with Luffy.

But as expected, he still wanted to see Luffy and his crewmates immediately.

Hancock bit her lip and suddenly stood up:

"Enishida, go prepare, Lord Luffy needs to take a bath!"

The female warrior captain standing to the side paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, Lady Snake Princess."

"Huh? Do I smell bad?"

Luffy paused for a moment, looking at the bright sky. "It's still noon. Isn't this a bit too early?"

Hearing Luffy's words, Hancock shifted her gaze somewhat awkwardly: "After all, you've been on a long trip, so you should get some rest."

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes were unfocused.

"Going for a bath would be good."

Grandma New nodded, though she felt Hancock's suggestion was a bit abrupt. "We're going to Sabaody Archipelago in a couple of days, and there's a lot to prepare."

Luffy might want to rest, but the Pirate King training program won't let him.

Just now, on the way back, he even had a real sparring session with Hancock.

However, since it's Hancock's kind offer, I won't refuse.

Wait a minute, Luffy noticed something was off as he looked at Hancock's shifty eyes.

Hancock blushed even more from being stared at and quickly turned away:

"This concubine will take Lord Luffy to the bathroom!"

She practically dragged Luffy away from the main hall.

Grandma Newt watched Hancock's impatient retreating figure, a few question marks popping into her head: "Something seems off."

Perona, holding Kumasi, said with deadpan eyes, "Need I say more? They definitely want to take advantage of the last two days..."

Amatsuki tilted his head, looking completely innocent: "What do you want to do in the last two days?"

Perona and Granny New both fell silent.

Amatsuki blinked: "I know, she wants to spend more time with Luffy-sama, right? After all, we'll be parting ways in two days."

“Yes, that’s it.” Perona chuckled dryly.

It's not easy to explain too much to this new crew member.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the port of Snake Island, the Thousand Sunny and the Going Merry are ready to set sail.

The Going Merry was piled high with food and supplies prepared by Hancock, so much so that the ship's hold was almost overflowing.

"It's time to set off!"

Luffy adjusted his straw hat, looking quite energetic.

However, when he turned around, he accidentally touched his lower back.

Keep in mind that he didn't even touch his back after fighting the Five Elders!

Grandma New, leaning on her cane, came over and asked, "Shall we go find Riley first?"

"Ah."

Luffy nodded and said, "Vivi said she has arrived at Shakky's tavern and is working with Shakky to gather information about the past two years."

Because Amazon Lily's sources of information are relatively closed, it does lack intelligence.

However, this was not a problem at all for Vivi, who had spent most of the past two years working at the headquarters of the World Economic Herald; she was now considered an intelligence expert.

Luffy only needs to listen.

Regarding the coating, Rayleigh returned six months ago and had already coated both the Thousand Sunny and the Going Merry, making both ships ready to sail to Fishman Island.

"Well, be careful on the road."

Granny Newt said, glancing at Hancock, "But Boa Hancock..."

Before she could finish speaking, Hancock pushed open the door and walked in.

To be precise, she slowly moved in, holding onto the door frame. She looked delicate and frail, and her gait was somewhat awkward.

"I, too, will go and see them off," Hancock said softly.

"Hancock, you should get some rest?" Luffy asked tentatively.

For the past two days, and even this morning, the couple's blissful separation hasn't stopped.

He had initially thought Hancock was exhausted enough that she wouldn't even be able to walk.

It seems that Hancock is quite resilient, although her walking posture gives her away.

"That's right, we can't even walk anymore."

Perona muttered to herself.

Tianyue Shi finally understood in the past two days and couldn't help but cover her burning cheeks.

She never expected that this beautiful woman and Lord Luffy would have that kind of relationship!

Moreover, she had been staying in a side hall for the past two nights and could occasionally hear some noises.

But for some reason, she felt a little envious.

Then she saw Hancock's envious gaze.

Hancock also envies Toki Azuki!

Tengetsu can become Luffy's partner and adventure together.

"Snake Princess, don't forget what we said before," Granny New said sternly.

She knew very well what kind of people the emperors of Snake Island were; once they fell in love, they would disregard everything.

She herself was like that back then, so she had to remind Hancock.

After all, Hancock has the entire Amazon Lily behind her.

Hancock: "Okay!"

She looked at Granny New with some displeasure: "I will not abandon Luffy and leave!"

Honestly, do I really have to keep reminding her?

Hancock looked at Luffy with a pitiful expression: "Lord Luffy, I will miss you."

"Yeah, me too." Luffy smiled and ruffled her hair.

Hancock immediately squinted her eyes comfortably, like a cat being stroked.

But then she paused, and asked cautiously, "May I go to the New World to find you?"

"Hancock!"

Grandma New's voice rang out again.

"Crack!"

Hancock's face immediately contorted with rage, and she turned her head, opening her shark-like mouth wide. "Can you shut up?!"

Granny New calmly wiped the spittle off her face: "I just want to remind you that it's fine to go to the New World to find Luffy, but you can't go to the Straw Hat Pirates' ship in full view of everyone, otherwise you'll easily be caught red-handed!"

She looked at Hancock seriously: "Once the World Government discovers our relationship with Luffy, they will be furious and destroy Amazon Lily immediately."

It's no longer just about the title of Shichibukai.

Given Hancock's relationship with Luffy, the World Government would definitely come to destroy them, so their relationship must never be exposed.

Not at least not now!

Luffy also became serious and placed his hand on Hancock's shoulder: "Hancock, Grandma is right."

Although she looked reluctant, Hancock still agreed.

Let's go see them off.

"The ship is ready and can set sail at any time," Anishida reported.

"Ah, let's go."

Luffy released Hancock and headed towards the port.

Hancock, who was beside him, suddenly remembered something: "Lord Luffy, I've packed all the things you like to eat onto the ship."

She cupped her cheeks in her hands, lost in thought: "With my thoughtfulness, I can definitely become a virtuous wife and loving mother."

Luffy walked onto the Going Merry and smiled wryly:

"Ah, it's almost overflowing."

He had seen the cabins of the Going Merry and the Thousand Sunny, and every storage room was crammed full.

Meat, fruit, vegetables, wine... and even snacks and medicinal herbs specially made by Amazon Lily.

"This is my heartfelt wish!"

Hancock was perfectly justified.

Luffy smiled and shook his head, then looked solemnly at Granny Nunu and the warriors of Amazon Lily: "Well then, I'm off!"

"Have a safe journey, Luffy-sama!"

We'll miss you!

Amid cheers and farewells from the female warriors, the Thousand Sunny and the Going Merry slowly sailed away from the port, with the Kuja pirate ship following behind.

......

Meanwhile, the Sabaody Archipelago.

In Xiaqi's tavern, the woman behind the bar was leisurely wiping glasses.

Time seems to have left few traces on her face; she still has that languid and mysterious look.

"Time flies! It's already been two years."
