Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

'Well... taking a peek shouldn't be a problem, right?' No, no, no, how can this be called peeking? I'm just worried that Lord Arn might feel uncomfortable being alone in the bathroom...'

With this thought in mind, Hancock blushed and looked around. Then, with her slender, snake-like waist slightly bent, she opened the door a crack and stared wide-eyed into the bathroom.

However, amidst the billowing smoke, Hancock couldn't see anything clearly, only a hazy figure immersed in the pool.

Even so, Hancock's heart still pounded. She swallowed hard and murmured, "Lord Yone~~"

The next moment, a chorus of voices rang out behind Hancock.

"Huh? Big sister, what are you doing?"

[Chapter 268 Unexpected Event]

Upon hearing this, Hancock suddenly straightened up, as if she had been caught doing something wrong.

A moment later, Hancock turned around, a slight blush still on her face, coughed lightly, and spoke casually in her usual tone.

"Cough, it's nothing..."

Marigold and Sandasonia, however, had already realized what was happening. Their eyes widened as they exclaimed, "Sister, could it be that you're stealing...?"

Hancock flashed and grabbed Marigold and Sandersonia, pulling them aside.

"Shh!"

As Hancock made a silencing gesture, Marigold and Sandersonia quickly covered their mouths as well.

“Mary, Sanda, don’t talk nonsense,” Hancock said, trying to cover up her misunderstanding.

“Yes, my dear sister.” Sandasonia nodded to indicate that she understood.

Marigold, however, seemed puzzled. "But sister, you can't see anything through the crack in the door, can you?"

"What do you mean by 'see clearly'? I wasn't spying on Lord Arn..."

Hancock answered instinctively, then suddenly seemed to remember something, a dangerous glint in her eyes as she asked, "Mary, how did you know? Did you also spy on Lord Yern?"

"No, no, no, how could I dare to compete with my sister for Lord Arn?" Marigold waved her hands repeatedly in explanation.

"Besides, this is Lord Yann's first time visiting Amazon Lily. Even if I wanted to spy on him, I wouldn't have had the chance."

Hearing Marigold's blunt words, Hancock blushed slightly and asked, "Then how do you know you can't see inside through the crack in the door?"

“This…this…” Marigold looked around, completely at a loss for words.

"Cough cough..."

Sandasonia, who was standing nearby, quickly came to the rescue. "We were checking the bathroom for any leaks or anything like that."

Marigold's eyes lit up, and she replied, "That's right, that's right, we definitely didn't come here to spy on you, sister."

"Huh? Really?" Hancock crossed her arms, unconsciously exaggerating her figure, clearly understanding what was going on.

This straightforward answer made Sandasonia rub her forehead slightly, and she quickly pulled Marigold aside to apologize. "I'm sorry, big sister."

"Hmm~"

Hancock scrutinized Marygorod and Sandersonia with a critical eye, watching as cold sweat poured down their foreheads.

Hancock suddenly moved closer and asked in a low voice, "Have you found a suitable location?"

Marigold and Sandersonia were slightly taken aback. They exchanged a glance, their expressions showing some hesitation, before whispering something to Hancock.

Then, Hancock quietly slipped away from the palace guards and ran to the roof above the bathroom. She then carefully lifted the roof tiles and stared down at the ceiling.

However, even in his most relaxed state, Yann subconsciously activated his Observation Haki.

Although the range is not wide, it is always around you, thus preventing any possible unexpected attacks.

So just as Hancock's gaze fell squarely on Yann, Yann also sensed that sudden gaze.

"Who?!"

With a sharp shout from Yann, a large swath of cherry blossoms shot straight up from above the bathroom and swept horizontally toward Hancock.

"boom!"

In an instant, the bathroom roof was blown off, countless tiles were smashed, and the stunned Hancock fell straight down.

"thump!"

Yann stared blankly as the familiar figure fell in front of him, never expecting that the person lying on the roof would be Hancock.

The next moment, Hancock, who had fallen into the pool, quickly stood up. Soaked to the bone, her cheongsam clung tightly to her perfect figure.

"Lord...Lord Yann, I...I'm sorry..."

Hancock covered her eyes with one hand and waved the other hand like a panicked little girl, trying to explain something.

At that moment, the commotion in the bathroom attracted the attention of the guards who were stationed nearby.

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of footsteps converged on the bathroom door, and before Marigold and Sandasonia could stop them, they burst through the door.

???

Yaen's pupils contracted slightly, completely unprepared for this turn of events.

In that instant, a thousand chaotic thoughts flashed through Yann's mind, but he had no time to calmly think about how to deal with it.

Instinctively, Yann instinctively tried to conceal Hancock's presence in the bathroom, pulling her into his arms.

"what happened?"

"An enemy attack?"

Where is the enemy?

……

A large number of palace guards, armed with weapons and bows and arrows, rushed in. Amidst the chaotic questions, their eyes scanned the bathroom.

However, their gazes soon fell unconsciously on Yann's rather beautiful back.

"Hiss~ Is this what a man's body is like?"

"Gurgle~"

"It doesn't seem to be that different from us, except that the muscle contours are much more obvious and the muscle lines are clearer."

……

It wasn't until then that Marigold and Sandasonia realized from the exaggerated noises coming from the bathroom that they understood something was probably going to happen.

The fact that the Nine Serpent Emperor was spying on men will inevitably spread throughout the country, becoming a major scandal for my elder sister!

However, when Marigold and Sandersonia hurriedly rushed into the bathroom, their panicked glances revealed no trace of Hancock; only Lord Yann's upper body appeared in the middle of the bath.

"Lord Yann, what...what happened?" Marigold asked, sounding slightly flustered.

While Yann, who dared not move an inch, was also pounding with nervousness, he tried his best to feign calmness as he spoke.

"It's nothing. I accidentally leaked some power just now, which caused some damage and made you misunderstand."

"really?"

Clearly, this claim is full of loopholes and raises suspicions. Some palace guards have even begun to move around to inspect Arn from both sides.

This made Yann glance down at Hancock, his eyes darting nervously, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, Hancock was in a position that was extremely easy to misunderstand. She was soaking wet and her face was covered with water droplets, half-lying on Yann's abdomen, thus avoiding the sight of the palace guards who had entered the bathroom.

[Chapter 269. To Leave a Pure Name in the World]

How to do?

If exposed, they'd be dead on the spot, right?

Moreover, any explanation for such a scene would be futile!

Although Yann had harbored some slightly sordid thoughts at times, he was far from being able to accept such a level of inappropriate behavior.

Even if Amazon Lily is located in the windless zone, which is isolated from the world, such a scandal will not reach the Navy in a short time, but my story with Hancock will definitely be recorded in the history of Amazon Lily, right?

For example: "On that day, Rear Admiral Tefimo Yann of the Navy Headquarters visited Kuja and entered the palace with the Princess. He secretly bathed with the Princess, making a great commotion. The scene was very obscene and indescribable. More than thirty people witnessed it."

Won't that become a laughing stock for future generations? How will I be able to hold my head high in their eyes then?

No, I'd rather die than leave behind a legacy of integrity!

"Gurgle~"

Just as A'en was contemplating using the power of "Senbonzakura Kageyoshi" to create a barrier of countless cherry blossoms in order to forcibly conceal the truth.

"and many more!"

Sandasonia seemed to understand something and shouted, "What are you doing? This is a distinguished guest of my elder sister!"

"We are also on guard duty under the orders of Lady Snake Princess. We were worried about the commotion just now..." the head guard captain said hesitantly.

"Didn't Lord Yern just explain? What are you doubting?"

"Sounds like," Sandersonia snapped. "Do you think the distinguished guest invited by my sister is lying?"

"No... I wouldn't dare."

The captain of the guard was immediately silenced, not daring to argue with Sandersonia on such a matter, especially since Sandersonia, as the princess's sister, already enjoyed an extraordinary status in the country and was deeply trusted by Hancock.

“But, that commotion could also be attributed to an unintentional leak of power…” the dutiful captain of the guards continued.

“It’s probably just a difference between men and women, there’s nothing to question,” Sandasonia said casually, making up an excuse.

"Then... that's fine."

Convinced by this reason, the captain of the guard could only respectfully nod to Sandasonia and Marigold, then apologize to Yaen before leading the palace guards out of the bathroom.

However, the palace guards were clearly still puzzled by the sudden noise in the bathroom that had blown the roof off, and their constant whispers reached Arn's ears.

"Could that kind of noise really be caused by a man's unconscious leakage?"

"It shouldn't be wrong, after all, that's how Princess Sandersonia explained it. She's a warrior who fought alongside Lady Hancock in the outer seas, she's knowledgeable and experienced."

"But if that's the case, wouldn't men be too likely to unconsciously leak their power? Wouldn't it be troublesome if this happened every time they showered?"

"That's right, this time the roof was blown off. Who knows, Lady Snake will be furious afterwards, after all, this is the bathroom that Lady Snake often uses."

"Perhaps not every man is this bad. Maybe it's just that Lord Yan is a special case, which is why his power leaks out so dramatically."
