Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 256 Because I am simply too beautiful (Nearly 8 words long chapter)

Below Nine Serpents City was an ancient-style arena, which was now surrounded by a huge crowd of people. Many citizens of the Women's Kingdom were excited and eagerly awaiting the execution that was about to take place.

When the Empress appeared on the arena atop a multi-story tower, the cheers were deafening. All the citizens of the Women's Kingdom shouted at the top of their lungs, "Lady Snake Princess!! Lady Snake Princess!!"

Nami, Robin, and Sanji, with their hands bound, were brought here when they were suddenly surrounded by cheers that made their heads buzz.

Before they could even figure out where they were, the three of them were pushed up the steps to the fighting arena by the guards who were escorting them.

"What are they trying to do?"

After being pushed up, Nami looked around nervously.

Grandma Niu said they would be fine, but it seems like their situation is a bit precarious now.

That is...

'

Robin noticed the gazes of the surrounding audience and looked up at the tower in front of him, where he saw a woman with outstanding looks and a cold expression sitting high on it.

Sanji was completely captivated by the beautiful women around him, so much so that he forgot he was still tied up. He kept exclaiming, "So many beautiful women! Wow! There are three lovely ladies here, and over here! What a beautiful woman with such a graceful figure! Ah! I absolutely love this place!"

His behavior infuriated Nami, who yelled, "What are you doing, Sanji! Instead of admiring beautiful women, you should think about our current situation!!"

On the tower, Hancock, resting her chin on her hand, looked expressionlessly at the three below, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

Is this the partner of that idiot who attacked the Celestial Dragons?

Haha, what qualifications do these people have to be his partners?

"Stop talking. Look at that. I think that's the legendary Empress, the only female among the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

On the fighting stage, Robin spoke in a deep voice.

At her prompting, Nami and Sanji looked up and finally saw Hancock sitting high in the tower.

"Wow, so beautiful..."

"7

With just one glance, Nami was slightly lost in thought and murmured unconsciously.

Sanji, the infatuated girl, was even more overwhelmed. After letting out a strange cry, he rushed to Hancock's side, his eyes sparkling with hearts, trembling with excitement.

"Ahhh!! You are the Empress! What an exquisite face! What a graceful figure! In your presence, all the beautiful things in the world pale in comparison! If I could kiss the back of your hand, no, just seeing you, I would have no regrets in this life!"

Everyone was startled by his sudden action, and Sandersonia and Marigold, who were guarding Hancock on either side, immediately put two weapons to his neck.

"That guy was incredibly fast!"

The two men looked grave, a bead of cold sweat trickling down their foreheads.

It's unbelievable that they failed to catch each other's movements for that brief moment.

The surrounding spectators from the Kingdom of Women were all startled, but Empress Hancock remained calm, still resting her chin on her hand, her legs elegantly crossed, and smiled slightly at the man she was so deeply infatuated with: "No regrets in this life? Then I command you to die right now, how about that?"

Upon hearing the word "death," Sanji's hormone-fueled brain finally calmed down a little.

"I'm sorry, although I have no regrets in this life, I can't die yet. I still have dreams to fulfill," Sanji said, shaking his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hancock's demeanor changed drastically. She suddenly transformed from a cool and aloof older sister into a shy and bashful younger sister, saying in a sweet voice, "Really not allowed? I really want to see you die right now."

Ugh—! ! !

Steam seemed to rise from Sanji's head, and his face instantly turned bright red. With hearts flashing in his eyes, he shouted, "No problem! I'll die right now! To hell with that damned dream!!"

After saying that, he was about to jump off the tall tower and commit suicide.

Before he could jump out, several hands emerged from the railing and grabbed him, then threw him back onto the fighting platform.

Bang bang bang!

"What are you doing, Sanji?! Are you crazy?!" Nami rolled her eyes in anger and kicked Sanji, who had been thrown in front of her, several times.

"Oh? A power user?"

Hancock turned her gaze to Robin. Although she didn't see Robin make a move, it was obvious that this calm woman was more likely to be the one who had just attacked than the shouting woman.

Robin took a deep breath, looked away from Hancock, and said to her companions, "We're in big trouble. I don't know what's wrong with this woman, but whenever I see her, I can't help but want to obey her. I think that's why Sanji did what he did just now."

Nami stopped beating her up, nodded in deep agreement, and said with a serious expression, "That's right, I feel the same way. This woman is terrifying."

Unbeknownst to them, Hancock was arguably the only woman in the world with maxed-out charm; anyone who saw her would be captivated.

Not to mention Sanji, who is completely powerless against women, it's almost a miracle that he was able to refuse Hancock's first request!

"No, we can't go on like this. Where is Granny New? She promised to help us!" Nami kept scanning her surroundings, trying to find the old woman who was willing to help them, but she couldn't find her no matter how hard she looked.

"You're looking for that old woman?" Hancock suddenly asked from her throne.

As Nami and the others looked over, she smoothed her hair and said lightly, "No need to look anymore. I've already thrown that noisy old woman out. She kept nagging in my ear, which really annoyed me."

He was... he was thrown out?!

Nami and the other two froze on the spot.

"The three of you have already committed a capital offense by trespassing into our country without permission, not to mention that one of you is a man, which is an even greater capital offense."

Now, you will fight one by one on the arena until you die here.

39

Hancock said without any emotion.

No sooner had the words been spoken than a huge black panther was released by the warriors of the nation, leaping onto the fighting platform and baring its sharp fangs as it roared at Nami and the others.

Meanwhile, the snakes that had bound Nami and the others' hands broke free, finally freeing them from their restraints.

"Wait, wait! We can talk this out, why do we have to fight and kill each other!" Nami, seeing that things were not going well, quickly put on a smile and waved her hands repeatedly.

"We did not intrude into your country on purpose. We were brought here by someone else. Your Majesty should already know this."

We mean you no harm. If you release us, we'll leave immediately and won't cause you any trouble!

Hancock looked at her expressionlessly and said calmly, "The facts are clear. No matter how you try to justify yourself, you have already trespassed into our country and deserve to be punished."

"You, how can you be so unreasonable! I've already said we had no intention of offending you. If you let us leave now, we'll leave right away!" Nami was furious when she saw that the other party was unyielding.

"You say I'm unreasonable? Heh, no matter what I do, even if I'm wrong, I will be forgiven because—"

Hancock slightly raised her chin, pursed her red lips, and uttered a sentence that drove everyone present into a frenzy.

"Because I am simply too beautiful."

boom!!!

The entire venue instantly erupted in cheers.

"Ahhh! Lady Boa Hancock! Lady Boa Hancock is so beautiful!!!"

"That's right! No matter what Lady Boa Hancock does, she'll be forgiven!!!"

The entire Women's Kingdom crowd went wild. Not only that, Nami, who had been furious just moments before, now held her cheeks, her face flushed, and her eyes glazed over, saying, "No, that's right, whatever you do is right, because you are just too beautiful."

Several seconds later, Nami suddenly shook her head violently, looking horrified. "No, no! What did I just say? Oh my god! How could I have said something like that!"

She exchanged a glance with Robin, who had also just regained consciousness, and a chill ran down her spine.

The empress in front of them is just too charming; if this continues, they'll all fall for her!

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Who wants to fight first?" After things calmed down, Hancock gave them her final ultimatum.

Nami and Robin exchanged glances, their faces grim. With so many people around, including a Shichibukai eyeing them, the three of them had no chance of escaping.

Is this really the only arrangement they have to accept?

Just then, Sanji, who had been so captivated by the Empress's charm that he was ignored by Nami and Robin, suddenly stepped forward, straightened his collar, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, slowly exhaled the smoke, and then said calmly, "How can I let a lady handle such a dangerous task? Let me do it. No matter what kind of opponent we face, I will take on the responsibility. But I have one request: if I win, please let the three of us leave this place."

Hancock's lips curled slightly: "Oh? I didn't realize you had some guts, but that's impossible. Not only can you not win, but even if you did, I would never let you go, especially since you are a man who is absolutely forbidden from setting foot in this country."

Sanji frowned slightly, thought for a few seconds, and then said, "How about this? If I win, please let my friends leave. Although they came to your country by accident, they have not done anything to harm you. Besides, they are all women, so you don't need to make things difficult for them. I will stay here alone to accept your punishment."

"Sanji, you!" Nami and Robin's expressions changed.

Sanji, however, did not look at them. Instead, he calmly and collectedly looked at Hancock, showing no sign of tension or fear about being left behind to be punished.

Hancock narrowed her eyes, finally beginning to take this man more seriously.

After thinking for a moment, she didn't respond to Sanji's words, but said indifferently, "A man who only talks big is useless. You should try to survive in Baccarat's clutches first."

Bakola is the name of that black panther. It is a ferocious beast that the Queen of the Women's Kingdom has raised for generations, and it is used to execute death row inmates. It is said that no death row inmate can be spared a single bone by it.

"Nami-san, Robin-chan, don't worry, leave everything to me. I'll make sure you get out of here safely." Sanji nodded to Nami and Robin.

It has to be said that Sanji's masculine charm is amplified under these circumstances, and Nami couldn't help but worry, "But even if you win, what will you do, Sanji?"

Sanji exhales smoke, projecting an image of a calm and composed mature man who is unafraid of danger.

The next second, the scene abruptly changed. He was seen swaying seductively in place, his heart-shaped eyes glued to Hancock, shouting like a fanatical fan, "Don't worry about me! Even if I'm going to die, I'd be willing to die at the hands of the Empress!"

Snapped! !

Nami slapped her forehead suddenly, her lips twitching uncontrollably.

Alright, Sanji is still Sanji, he really hasn't changed.

After the little farce ended, the real battle finally began. Nami and Robin retreated to the viewing platform next to the arena and watched the fight intently.

The black panther, who had been waiting impatiently, pounced on Sanji without hesitation, its gaping maw spewing blood.

Stinky gale.

The surrounding spectators from the Women's Kingdom shouted, "Go, Bakura! Show this man what you're made of!"

Bang! !

Just as the audience was shouting, Sanji suddenly appeared above Black Panther's head on the fighting stage and delivered a powerful kick to Black Panther's head.

The next instant, the black panther collapsed heavily to the ground with a thud, its eyes swirling with bubbles, completely incapacitated.

The shouts around them stopped abruptly.

All the audience members stared in disbelief, their mouths agape.

Their ferocious beast, Bakura, was defeated in a single blow?

On top of the tower, Hancock raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise in her voice: "Oh? I didn't expect this man to have such power."

Sanji stood on the arena and looked at her: "Empress Boa Hancock! I won this match. Please send out more opponents so I can continue fighting. If I win every match, please release my crewmates, okay?"

Whether it was because Sanji's performance pleased her, or because she was thinking of something else, or perhaps both, Hancock nodded slightly this time and said, "Alright, I agree, but if you lose, you and those two women will all die."

"No problem! Empress, I will definitely win!" Sanji shouted with a big smile.

But the next second, his smile vanished, because Sandersonia, who had been standing beside Hancock, suddenly landed on the stage, flicking her scarlet tongue at him, and said, "I'll be your opponent from now on."

Sanji's face stiffened, and he stammered, "Wait, wait a minute, shouldn't my opponent still be some kind of beast? Why is it you?"

Sandasonia was a little puzzled: "Why do you think that? Although Bakola is powerful, the strongest people in our country are humans, not beasts. You have already shown your strength, so it's my turn to take the stage next."

Sanji's pupils were dull.

Oh no, why is this happening? He thought his opponents were some strange and ferocious beasts, which is why he took on all the battles.

Now that a woman is fighting him, how is he supposed to fight?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly called out to Hancock, "Empress! Can we have a different opponent? As long as she's not a woman, it's fine!"

Hancock's voice turned cold: "What? Do you look down on our nation's soldiers?"

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant. I just... I just never fight with women!" Sanji hurriedly explained.

"You don't fight with women?" Hancock's lips curled into a mocking smile.

"In the end, it's just that he looks down on women, isn't it? Sandasonia, teach this man who despises women a lesson, let him know how powerful women are!"

"No problem, big sister!"

Seeing that a battle was inevitable, Sanji became so anxious that cold sweat began to bead on his forehead, but he couldn't think of any good solutions.

Sandersonia, however, wouldn't give him time. After Hancock announced the start of the fight, she transformed into a giant serpent and slammed her tail down on him.

Swish! !

Sanji dodged the attack with a shave and moved to a place where Sandasonia couldn't see him, but he didn't make a move.

Sandasonia sensed his location with her Observation Haki, quickly turned around, and her green hair transformed into a giant serpent, fiercely attacking Sanji.

Under such fierce attacks, Sanji, who only dodged and did not attack, soon made a mistake and was hit hard by a giant snake. He slammed onto the fighting platform and rolled many times before stopping.

"Why aren't you making a move?" Sandasonia asked instead of continuing to attack.

"I've already said, I don't fight women. I will never lay a hand on a woman," Sanji said, getting up and wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Heh, what a foolish idea. Even if you don't make a move, I won't show you any mercy." After saying that, Sandasonia attacked again, this time using Armament Haki to blast Sanji, who was completely unaware of the attack, away.

"Sanji!!"

Seeing Sanji cough up blood and fly backwards beside the arena, Nami finally couldn't help but shout, "Sanji! Let us take your turn! You can't keep going like this!"

Sanji climbed up from the edge of the arena, took a few breaths, and casually lit a cigarette, putting it in his mouth. His gaze was calm and firm: "That won't do. As a man, protecting ladies is my duty. Besides, I've already made an agreement with the Empress that I must make sure you leave here safely."

"But you can't even make a move, how could you possibly win!"

Sanji didn't answer, because Sandasonia's attack came again.

Bang! !

Bang! !

Bang! !

The battle on the arena turned into a one-sided affair, even though Sanji's Shave technique was so fast that even Sandersonia, who had witnessed it, couldn't stop him.

Even though the color was hard to detect, Sandasonia also had Armament Haki attacks that Sanji couldn't sense. Sanji couldn't dodge any of the Armament Haki attacks and was covered in injuries.

As his injuries worsened, Sanji found it increasingly difficult to use Shave to dodge visible attacks, and was forced to raise his hand to block, but still did not launch an attack.

However, all of his defensive actions were anticipated by Sandasonia's Observation Haki. Every time, Sandasonia could find his weakness and blast him away, making his injuries even more severe.

Finally, after blasting Sanji away countless times, Sandersonia watched as Sanji, bruised and bloodied, shakily got to his feet. She stopped attacking and asked, utterly bewildered, "Why didn't you do anything? Didn't you know that doing so would get you beaten to death?"

Sanji's eyes were swollen from the beating, leaving only slits for him to see. He shakily pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, struggled to light it, took a deep drag, and then replied, "This is my chivalrous spirit. Even if I die, I will never lay a hand on any woman."

"Then how are you going to save them? If you don't beat me, your companions are all doomed!" Sandasonia pointed at Nami and Robin, who were tied up.

The two of them simply couldn't bear to watch Sanji being beaten up any longer, so they decided to intervene without hesitation.

Before they could even make a move, several guards who had been watching them quickly subdued them, giving them no chance whatsoever.

Sanji didn't look at Nami and Robin; he just stared at Sandersonia with his eyes half-closed, his tone as firm as before: "I'll win if I wear you down to the point where you can't fight anymore."

boom!!

This short and powerful sentence instantly resonated throughout the arena, and the people of the Women's Kingdom watching the battle stared at him in disbelief.

What did that man just say? He actually wants to defeat Lady Sandasonia, whose strength is second only to Lady Snake Princess, using this method?!

Has he gone mad?!

On the tower, Hancock remained indifferent, gazing down at the battle below with a detached expression.

Suddenly, she stood up and began walking up the steps toward the arena.

As she walked, the once noisy and bustling place instantly quieted down, leaving only the sound of her high heels tapping on the steps, echoing in everyone's hearts.

Before long, Hancock arrived at the arena, and Sandersonia silently gave up her spot.

Sanji watched the Empress descend, but unlike before, he didn't show any signs of infatuation. He simply watched her quietly, waiting for her to speak.

Hancock didn't keep him waiting long. She parted her red lips and uttered a sentence that instantly shocked everyone.

"I admire you, man. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a chance. If you surrender and admit defeat, I'll let you leave here safely."

The audience in the Kingdom of Women was instantly in an uproar.

"Lady Snake Princess is going to release this man? Why?"

"Shut up! Lady Snake Princess must have her reasons for doing this. We should just support her!"

On the fighting stage, Sanji was also stunned; he never expected Hancock to suddenly say such a thing.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Can my companions come with me?"

Hancock gently shook her head: "Of course not. The previous agreement still stands. If you lose, all your companions will die."

As she spoke, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

Men are good at disguising themselves. No matter how righteous and fearless they pretend to be before, they will eventually reveal their true colors in this situation.

She had previously declared that Sanji was doomed, giving him the most desperate feeling. But now she has suddenly given him a way out, like seeing the light of dawn in the darkness. She believes that Sanji will definitely drop all pretense and seize this ray of light under these circumstances.

Of course, this glimmer of hope is actually false. Once the other party thinks he has found a way out, she will completely shatter all his hopes and teach this hypocritical man a lesson he deserves.

To her surprise, Sanji, after hearing her words, paused for a moment but quickly shook his head firmly: "No, I can't watch my comrades die. Let me continue fighting. I will win."

Hancock's pupils contracted slightly, followed by a tone as cold as the dead of winter: "You mean, you're going to refuse the life I'm mercifully offering you?"

"That's not a way out. For me, watching my comrades die would be worse than death itself," Sanji said in a deep voice.

Hancock bit her lip, her expression shifting between anger and uncertainty as she looked at Sanji, who showed no sign of backing down.

After a long silence, she suddenly let out a cold laugh, making a heart shape with her hands in front of her chest: "Fine, since you're not afraid of death, then I'll grant your wish. You'd better think it over, because no one has ever survived this move of mine!"

"Then can you release my friend?" Sanji quickly asked, sensing the possible hidden meaning in the other person's words.

"No problem! I will have the mercy to spare their lives, but if you dodge this attack, I will absolutely not spare them!"

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Sanji finally turned around and waved to Nami and Robin, who were shouting "Sanji, no!" not far away, saying, "Nami-san! Robin-chan! You must find Goku! Tell him I'm fine! Because..."

He turned around and gazed at Hancock with deep affection, his eyes sparkling with hearts again, a lovestruck smile on his face.

"Because I died at the hands of the world's most beautiful woman! This feeling is absolutely amazing!"

"Sweet and refreshing!"

As Sanji uttered his last words, a beam of heart-shaped light shot out from Hancock's hand, instantly turning Sanji, who had a lovestruck smile on his face, into a stone statue.

"No!! Sanji!!!"

Nami and Robin screamed in despair, tears streaming down their faces.

At this moment, Granny Niu, who had been abandoned outside Daughter City, arrived here breathlessly and witnessed what was happening on the fighting stage.

She looked at Hancock, who had petrified Sanji, with a complex expression in her eyes, and thought to herself:

Snake Princess, are you satisfied now? These people aren't the kind you imagine who only care about their own lives and not the safety of their companions. They truly deserve to be Sun Wukong's companions.

Now that things have come to this, how are you going to end this?

Watching Hancock's departing figure, Granny Newt sighed inwardly, then hurriedly went to Nami and Robin, who had been freed from their restraints, and said urgently, "Don't be so sad! This man isn't dead yet. As long as we protect his statue from damage, he has a chance to recover!"

"What?! Are you serious?!" Nami and Robin, tears streaming down their faces, didn't even bother to wipe them away before pressing for an answer.

When they heard Grandma New's confirmation, their desperate eyes finally regained their light.

Thus, Nami and Robin, who were spared the death penalty, settled down on Amazon Lily with Sanji's statue. Empress Hancock seemed to have forgotten about the two and did not expel them from the island because of their dangerous identities.

As time passed, on the tenth day of Goku's exile on Monkey Island, and the day before the news of Ace's execution was announced, Rayleigh, far away in the Sabaody Archipelago, suddenly arrived and visited Empress Hancock.

Rayleigh was quite surprised when he learned that Goku had not come to the island. It was a decision he, Kuma, and Shakky had made together when Kuma sent Goku and Nami flying. Moreover, he had personally witnessed Goku being sent flying by Kuma. How come Nami and the others were here, but Goku was not?

Upon learning that Goku had not fallen into the hands of the Navy, Hancock showed no outward expression, but a rare sense of joy welled up inside her.

Although she thought this kind of person was an utterly stupid fool, and that dying at the hands of the Navy was simply his fate, she didn't want him to die at the Navy's hands so soon.

Later, Rayleigh met Nami and Robin and praised Sanji for his manly behavior, but when Nami asked him if he could help Sanji recover, he said he was powerless to do so.

"Only Hancock can help him recover, but I can't persuade her," Rayleigh shook his head.

Actually, given his influence, it's still possible to persuade him, after all, he did Hancock a favor.

However, he felt it was inappropriate for him to get involved in such matters. He believed that Nami and the other girl should take matters into their own hands if they wanted to rescue their companions. Therefore, he only gave them one direction: to persuade Hancock.

However, Nami and Robin had already learned about this method from Granny Newt, but they really didn't know how to persuade Hancock.

Despite this, they were determined to completely abandon all pride and dignity to beg the other party, but when they went to find them, they were ruthlessly turned away.

So now that they've heard Rayleigh has met Hancock, they want to ask him to take them to see her.

After pondering for a moment, Rayleigh felt that there was no problem with it, so he readily agreed.

Before he could take the two of them to visit, Hancock had already led the Kuja Pirates out to sea to hunt, so the matter had to be put on hold for the time being.

Rayleigh didn't leave Amazon Lily either; he stayed there, saying that someone like Goku couldn't possibly be in trouble and would definitely find his way here by following his life chart.

Of course, because he was male, he could not stay in the Nine Serpent City, but instead lived on the outskirts of the Nine Serpent Island.

Even with his special status, he was only allowed to stay on Amazon Lily for no more than three days. After three days, he had to leave no matter what.

When Nami and Robin heard that Goku would come to this place, they naturally moved out of Kuja Castle with him and waited anxiously in the border area.

Thus, the scene where Nami sighed earlier came about.
