Watching Olvia's cheerful figure as she walked away, Mashiro chuckled softly.

Although she promised to let Olvia return to Ohara, the Five Elders would not agree.

The Five Elders knew that Olivia was interpreting the Poneglyphs for Mashiro, but because they had already promised Mashiro, they turned a blind eye to it.

However, for Olvia, who already knows the contents of the Poneglyphs, the Five Elders only offer her two choices: remain in Mary Geoise forever or die.

Of course, if Olvia comes to her for help, she might help me, but it depends on what price she's willing to pay. Amazon Lily.

An island located in the doldrums.

This island is also known as "Daughter Island," which, as the name suggests, is an island inhabited only by women.

The island is inhabited by a female warrior race called "Nine Serpents," who have established a nation on the island also named "Amazon Lily." Because Amazon Lily is located in the "calm zone," it is unaffected by any stormy weather.

However, because the island is surrounded by the nests of enormous sea monsters, ordinary sailors cannot venture in or out without permission, which allows the island's inhabitants to be isolated from the outside world and free from external disturbances.

It is precisely because of this sense of mystery that women of the Nine Serpent Clan are exceptionally popular, especially in the slave market, where they command prices comparable to those of mermaids.

Amazon Lily's only means of communication with the outside world is through the Kuja Pirates, composed of powerful members of the Kuja clan. They play a crucial role in supplying Amazon Lily with resources from the outside world.

Therefore, becoming a member of the Kuja Pirates is the dream of every Kuja woman.

Chapter 72: Boa Hancock

“Hancock, you and Sandersonia, Marigold, stay behind to retrieve the ship. Remember, if anyone gets close, immediately blow the snake whistle.” A

"It was said by a very tall blonde woman."

“Yes, Lady Moriana,” Hancock said excitedly.

Boa Hancock, Boa Marigold, and Boa Sandersonia, the most outstanding young members of the Kuja Clan, became candidates for the Kuja Pirates at a young age.

This was their first time sailing with the Kuja Pirates.

Mauriana stroked Hancock's hair and led the group off the ship. Not far from the Perfume Serpent, a submarine was roaming the sea.

"Boss, I'm not mistaken, it is indeed the flag of the Nine Serpents." A one-eyed man looked at the Perfume Serpent through the submarine's binoculars and said.

"This is our chance. You know, women from the Nine Serpent Clan are highly sought-after commodities, extremely popular with auction houses. Three women from the Nine Serpent Clan are worth a year's worth of our work," said a bearded man.

"Let's go. While the main force of the Kuja Pirates is away, let's capture those three little girls on the ship," the bearded man ordered. "Yes, boss," the crew members in the submarine responded in unison.

They were a capture gang that ravaged the first half of the Grand Line, making a living by buying and selling slaves.

They originally intended to capture slaves in a small country, but they unexpectedly encountered the Kuja Pirates.

To be fair, they wouldn't dare to provoke the Kuja Pirates, but faced with huge profits, they secretly followed them, and now, they've finally gotten their chance.

Hancock was sitting at the bow of the ship, while Marigold and Sandersonia were cautiously observing their surroundings.

"Is this the view the adults of the Kuja Pirates get to see? It's so different from Amazon Lily!" Hancock exclaimed excitedly. "With your strength, big sister, you'll probably be promoted to a full member of the Kuja Pirates soon, and then you can often see all the adults..."

"We've set sail," Marigold said.

"The three of us sisters will all become official members of the Kuja Pirates. At that time, the title of the Boa Sisters will surely be remembered by the people of the island," Hancock said with great anticipation.

Just then, a submarine suddenly surfaced, followed by a dozen middle-aged men who poured out of the submarine and quickly climbed aboard the Perfume Serpent.

Seeing this, Hancock hurriedly tried to blow the snake whistle, but it was too late. A one-eyed man suddenly appeared behind her and covered her mouth. Moments later, Hancock fell into a deep sleep.

They tied the unconscious Hancock, Marigold, and Sandersonia together with ropes and put them into the submarine. The submarine quickly sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared from the spot.

“Hancock, Marigold, Sandersonia…” Moriana called softly, leading the large group toward the Perfume Serpent. No one answered.

“There are cookies you all love,” Moriana continued.

Still no response. "This is bad!"

Mauriana immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly ran towards the Perfume Serpent. She went up to the deck, and then to the various rooms.

"Lady Moriana, Hancock and the others aren't in any of the rooms," a dark-haired woman wielding samurai power said anxiously. "Hancock..." Moriana gazed at the distant sea, her expression filled with worry.

The submarine "Srif".

The slaves were trapped in cages deep inside the submarine.

Hancock woke up and looked around warily.

It was clear that she was in a cell, with Marigold and Sandasonia still unconscious, lying not far away.

"Are you awake?" A middle-aged man's voice came from behind. Hancock looked up.

A middle-aged man with a thick beard was watching her from outside the iron cage.

"Who are you? The Kuja Pirates won't let you go. Release us now!" Hancock said.

“Who I am? You don’t need to know that. You only need to know one thing: from today onwards, the three of you are slaves, and I am the one responsible for selling you.” The bearded man said.

"What are you talking about?!" Hancock exclaimed in horror.

The Kuja tribe members are generally precocious, so Hancock also knew what it meant to become a slave.

"You don't need to know so much. In short, if you don't want to die, just obey me obediently. Don't worry, I don't have a habit of abusing slaves. Malnourished slaves will fetch a much lower price." After saying this, the bearded man got up and left.

At this moment, Marigold and Sandasonia also came over.

"Big sister, where is this?" Marigold asked in a panic after looking around at her surroundings.

Looking at her two younger sisters, Hancock suddenly didn't know how to explain; her heart was filled with panic and fear. "One billion Berries once! One billion Berries twice! One billion Berries three times! Deal!"

"Congratulations, Lady Caroline Angong, on winning the bid for the three Nine Serpent Clan sisters!" On the auction stage.

Hancock, Marigold, and Sandersonia clung tightly to each other, staring in terror at the frenzied crowd below. Then the three of them were led off the stage once more.

“Sister, I’m scared,” Marigold cried.

“I’m scared too,” Sandasonia said, her voice filled with fear.

“It’s alright, Marigold, it’s alright. Sandersonia, we’ll be fine, Lady Moriana is coming to rescue us,” Hancock comforted her.

Soon, a strangely dressed woman led them onto a ship. They arrived at a magnificent but completely unfamiliar place.

Beneath a palace, the woman had red-hot irons branded onto the backs of the three women. Only then did Hancock fully understand that their status as slaves could never be removed. After being branded with the "Celestial Dragon's Hoof," a man claiming to be their steward told them many things.

This is Mary Geoise, the holy land where the Celestial Dragons reside, and these women are battle slaves of the world's noble family, Caroline. After that day, they were forced to fight against various ferocious beasts.

Although the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan possessed combat abilities from a very young age, the three of them still suffered numerous injuries after each battle with ferocious beasts.

Their owner, Caroline Angong, seemed very dissatisfied with their performance and often punched and kicked the three of them.

After several days of fighting with ferocious beasts, the three of them were taken to an arena. Inside were many dragon-taming people.

Forced to fight a giant polar bear, the three of them, though severely wounded, managed to defeat it. Caroline Angolan, however, still seemed dissatisfied with their performance.

She forced the three of them to eat strange fruits. After her two younger sisters ate the fruits, their bodies underwent incredibly strange changes, while she herself became even more beautiful after eating them.

"The three of you should be grateful for my gift, especially you. Those two Zoan-type Devil Fruits are one thing, but the one you ate was the one that almost made you a god back then..."

"The fruits of the Valley Hunting Contest." Caroline Angong said, stepping on Hancock's head.

“Starting tomorrow, I will arrange new opponents for you. If you lose, then die.” With that, Caroline turned and left.

(I made the Celestial Dragon who bought the Hancock sisters a woman; only then would the plot make sense. Otherwise, if the Celestial Dragon were male...)

I don't think he'll let Hancock get away with eating the Sweet-Sweet Fruit.

Chapter 73: Mary Geoise (Part 9)

"She learned to grasp the power of the sea, which is the possibility of overcoming... the root cause. She is the queen of the sea kings, the daughter of the sea, and can change everything... He deceived her, which also allowed her to escape."

Noah's Ark will reach its destination.

"Is this the contents of the second stone tablet?" Mashiro asked softly.

"Yes, Master, the text recorded in the Poneglyphs is far more complex than I thought, and I've discovered that the Black Poneglyphs seem to have originally been a single entity. Many of the texts on individual Poneglyph stones cannot be deciphered, so I can only decipher what I can," Olvia explained.

"I understand, you may go back now," Mashiro said softly. "Yes, Master," Olvia bowed and left.

Originally, Olvia addressed Mashiro as "Sir," but after being taught a lesson by Butler Bard and influenced by the other slaves of the Sassarian family, she changed her address to "Master."

Mashiro didn't seem to care much about this; she was already used to being called "master."

"It seems that the study of the historical text will take some time. The contents of the stone tablets are actually interconnected. If we can't find a matching stone tablet, then the content that can be deciphered will be very limited," Mashiro muttered to himself.

However, the stone tablet that Olvia deciphered today, although its contents were somewhat incomplete, still proved useful to Mashiro. Before traveling back in time, Mashiro obtained the Poneglyphs of Shandora, the Golden City, and Robin had also deciphered their contents.

"To eternally rule the world, the gods created three ancient weapons with the title of 'god' that could destroy the world: Hades (Pluto), Poseidon, and Uranus."

The Sea Queen is a mermaid princess who has the ability to communicate with other sea creatures, and she appears once every few hundred years.

When a mermaid princess possesses the ability to communicate with sea kings, someone will become her "guide." The guide for the current mermaid princess is a being named "JOYBOY," who betrayed her.

By combining the contents of the Poneglyphs of Shandora in Golden City with the contents of the two Poneglyphs deciphered by Olvia, a general story can be deduced.

"JOYBOY" is Joy Boy. He was Aquaman's guide 800 years ago.

For some reason, "JOYBOY" did not keep his promise to the Little Mermaid, but this allowed the Little Mermaid to continue living.

"He represents the height of victory. He lied about his promise. He was a companion of the sea and its beasts. He crowned the Sea King."

We arrived in the courtyard.

Amatsuki was practicing swordsmanship.

The Celestial Dragons have no shortage of resources. When Mashiro heard that Amatsuki wanted to practice swordsmanship, she found her a lot of insights and information about swordsmanship.

Because it was obvious to the naked eye that Mashiro doted on Amatsuki, and because the steward turned a blind eye to Amatsuki's overstepping of boundaries, and the other slaves did the same, daring not to voice any objections.

Zhenbai casually found a place to sit down and watched Guan Yue practice swordsmanship.

Following the movements and postures of Kanzuki's practice, Mashiro also gently moved her fingers.

She didn't think swordsmanship was that difficult. It didn't involve wielding a sword, slashing, parrying, or hacking—how complicated could it be? After watching for a while, Amatsuki walked breathlessly to Mashiro's side and sat directly on her lap.

"Toki, how's the practice going?" Mashiro asked softly. "I'm exhausted~" Toki said, hugging Mashiro's neck.

“That’s normal. After all, it’s sword practice. It’s not that easy.” Mashiro patted Tengetsu’s waist and said with a smile.

"I know, so I will continue to practice hard. One day, I will become a powerful samurai," Amatsuki Toki said firmly. "Good luck," Mashiro patted Amatsuki Toki's head and said.

"Oh, right, I'm going to a gladiator match this afternoon, want to come along?" Mashiro asked softly.

“Forget it, I still don’t really like being around Celestial Dragons. There are too many Celestial Dragons in the arena; it just makes me feel uncomfortable,” Amatsuki Toki said. “Alright then,” Mashiro said softly.

This morning, Badrian came to see her, saying that Caroline Angong had returned from her training and brought three powerful gladiator slaves with her. Caroline Angong, one of the three members of the Knights of the Gods, was a regular at the arena and extremely fond of gladiator activities.
