“I didn’t ask you.” Hopdy’s lips twitched, his gaze sweeping over the women with their backs to him, his eyes involuntarily falling on the small patch of fair back revealed by the woman in the cheongsam…
"That woman! I feel like I've seen you somewhere before! Turn around!"
Upon hearing this, everyone on the deck of the Circus Bunting fell silent. Their eyes didn't move on the surface, but they actually started glancing at Hancock out of the corner of their eyes.
Hancock gave a cold laugh, turned around, revealing her stunningly beautiful face, and looked at Hobbdy. "Captain of the Navy Headquarters, what a high-ranking officer you are~ In the past, the Navy officers who came to me for favors were all admirals."
This stunningly beautiful face left Hobbdy stunned for a long time. After regaining his senses, he felt like he had seen Hancock's face somewhere before...
"So beautiful..." The sailors on the naval warship all showed pink heart emojis.
At this time, although the Navy learned of Hancock's appearance, they did not inform all the Navy immediately. Instead, they discussed sending that Admiral to go with the Amazon Lily pirates led by the new Shichibukai.
Meanwhile, the naval warships heading to Amazon Lily have already set sail and will deliver the conditions for becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to the new Empress Bai Bufan in less than a week.
A joint attack would be enough to prove that 'she' has no connection with Uchiha Bufan.
Even though Hopdog had no news from headquarters, he still vaguely remembered that portrait that had appeared in the newspaper some time ago, and the word 'justice' felt like a nightmare...
"Quickly... retreat quickly..." Hobbdy retreated, his arrogant demeanor gone, and said in a low voice to the naval crew on deck.
The naval crew members were puzzled upon hearing this. "Captain Hobbody, aren't we going to attack?"
Although this female pirate is very beautiful, not all marines lose their ability to think because of her beauty; they simply lose control of their physical reactions and their gaze.
For example, at this moment, the naval member was secretly admiring Hancock out of the corner of his eye while asking Hobbdy a question.
"An attack?! That's a pirate with a bounty of 500 million! It's the Justice Pirates... Report to headquarters immediately via Den Den Mushi!" Hobbdy roared.
However, the voice naturally appeared in Hancock's ears, who possessed Observation Haki.
She strode out with her long, slender legs, and white light shone on the faces of countless naval personnel, landing on the railing of the warship belonging to Lieutenant Hopperdy.
"It seems that I have been too gentle, which is why the navy has not yet discovered my movements."
Upon seeing this, Hobbdy trembled and began to announce Hancock's true identity: "Former Shichibukai, Empress of the Kuja Pirates, Boa Hancock! Bounty: 500 million!"
"..." The navy members' gazes shifted from lust to shock, and finally to utter astonishment.
This is the East China Sea! Not the Grand Line!!
How did a former Shichibukai (one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea) appear?! And with a bounty of 500 million?!
"Not only that, all the members of the Justice Pirates have a bounty of 100 million... Damn it! What exactly is your purpose in showing up in the East Blue!" Even though Hobodie's gaze was rudely fixed on the beautiful skin that reflected the white light, his voice continued to tremble.
Perhaps this is the stubbornness of men.
Even as he was dying, he was still thinking about this.
"That's naturally... to tell the Navy that our Justice Pirates have officially set sail." Hancock smiled, raising her right leg, powerful 'ki' gathering on the sole of her foot. Her gaze swept over the Navy members who were raising their muskets. "No matter what bad things I've done, the whole world will forgive me, because I'm just... too beautiful~"
Hancock's last sentence was drawn out, and her moving voice made the naval officer holding the gun go limp in his hand, almost causing him to drop his musket.
Hancock chuckled and then gathered the power in her right leg. "Well then, see you again sometime, my lovely marines."
A terrifying kick landed lightly, and before the naval crew could even react, a massive white light sliced through the entire naval warship.
The deck above the entire naval warship was split in two. All the naval crew members showed expressions of fear and panic, with small tears streaming down their faces. They could no longer hold onto their muskets and tried to grab onto whatever they could to steady themselves.
boom! ! !
Even the guests dining at the Barradi floating restaurant could see what was happening outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Suddenly, Buggy the Clown's pirate ship appeared on the sea, while the navy warship next to it was split in two and slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.
"That...oh my god!! It's the Buggy Pirates!! Those are pirates with a bounty of fifteen million!"
"No, no, that pirate flag doesn't belong to the Buggy Pirates. It must be some other, lesser-known pirate crew..."
"Are you an idiot?! A pirate crew capable of stealing the Buggy Pirates' ship, could they be ordinary pirates?!"
The guests' panic drew the attention of the chefs at the floating restaurant, Baratie.
"A great pirate?" Zeff, the head chef with a whip-like mustache and the ship's owner, remarked, gazing at the scenery. He couldn't help but recall his days on the Grand Line.
"Old man," Sanji, a man in a black suit and smoking a cigarette, held a bottle of red wine, "this guy isn't your average pirate. He must have come from the Grand Line, since we're so close here..."
Upon hearing this, the other chefs in the restaurant nervously swallowed hard.
A pirate who can return from the Grand Line unscathed must be a super pirate!
Seeing this, Zeff calmly returned to his room, saying before leaving, "That's enough. No matter what, we just need to make good food. Everyone, get back to your posts."
His heart was heavy, but with a great pirate approaching, he, as the captain and owner, had no way to escape with the cooks and even the guests from the middle of the ocean; he could only face it.
Over there, Hancock stood in mid-air, expressionless, looking down at the Marines who hadn't drowned, and clapped her hands. "Congratulations~ you survived."
"I have a favor to ask of you."
Captain Hopperdy clung to a plank of wood, panting heavily, thankful to have survived.
Hearing Hancock's voice from above, he looked up angrily, but blushed when he saw her fair thighs. His tone changed from angry to nonsensical, "You damned pirate... Don't think that just because you're good-looking, the Navy will let you off the hook!"
"We will report this to headquarters. You won't get away with this!"
"That's good." What Hancock wanted was for the Navy to report it as soon as possible so that the latest batch of bounty lists could appear, because her bounty list hadn't been updated for a long time; it had been released two years ago. Even though the bounty amount was still there, because of the constant disappearances, bounties for members of the Justice Pirates and even the captain were only added later.
Even so, printing stopped a year ago.
Therefore, she needs to bring the Righteous Pirates back to the seas.
She turned to Kurenai Yuhi, Anko Mitarashi, and Nawaki and made a gesture. The three of them immediately understood and spoke up.
Nawaki: "I am Nawaki, the ship's doctor of the Justice Pirates."
Kurenai Yuhi: "I am Kurenai Yuhi, the temporary cook of the Justice Pirates."
Mitarashi Anko: "My turn, my turn! I'm from the Justice Pirates... emmm.... what am I?"
She suddenly realized that she seemed to be of no use.
“Miss Red Bean, I think being a fighter suits you perfectly,” Nami joked. To make sure the Marines couldn’t see her face, she deliberately peeked out from the ship’s railing. “My name is Nami, and I’m the navigator of the Justice Pirates.”
"What?!" Hoppo hadn't expected that so soon after capturing members of the Krieg Pirates, they would encounter a pirate crew even stronger than the Krieg Pirates...
"in addition."
Hancock's voice interrupted Hopperdy's thoughts, and he looked up.
Hancock sat in mid-air with a cold expression, her abilities and equipment unreadable. "Vice-Captain of the Justice Pirates, Boa Hancock."
"Remember our pirate crew members well."
After Hancock finished speaking, she returned to her position on the deck of the Circus Bones. The Circus Bones continued to move forward, ignoring the naval crew members who were groaning and clinging to the wreckage of the naval ship, and arrived at the Barratier, the sea restaurant.
The ship docked at the shore, and the doors of the Baratie floating restaurant were pushed open by people outside. Hancock was in front, with Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarashi on either side. Luffy, Nawaki, and the others were all outside, with two ships moored.
“Is there any room left?”
The guests and chefs watched nervously as the newcomers entered the restaurant.
Just then, Zeff's eyes widened in surprise, "Former Shichibukai, Boa Hancock!"
Although I may not have seen the Empress in person, I have heard of the Seven Warlords of the Sea's reputation through rumors and newspaper articles.
At the same time, Hancock was also a former Shichibukai who was wanted by the Navy worldwide for 500 million two years ago, so he naturally recognized her.
What was uncertain before, is now completely certain, which makes Zeff feel very complicated.
"The Seven Warlords of the Sea?! Aren't those legendary figures only found in the Grand Line?"
"A figure from the Grand Line?!"
The guests were surprised, but Hancock ignored the stares and conversations of the guests and chefs and sat down in an empty seat.
"Waiter, I'd like to order."
Even though all the chefs thought Hancock and Kurenai were beautiful, and that Anko Mitarashi's clothes and appearance made her look youthful, no one dared to approach and serve her, except for one person.
"Three beautiful ladies, what would you like to eat?"
Bright red roses appeared on Sanji's hands and the tip of his mouth.
"This is a small gift, please don't be shy."
"..."x3
Hancock paused for a moment, then covered her face. "Although I know I am beautiful, I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend."
In an instant, it was as if a thunderbolt had struck Sanji's heart.
"How could this be?!" He clutched the flowers to his heart, looking at the other two, hoping to get the answer he wanted.
Kurenai Yuhi rested her chin on her hands, showing some curiosity about Sanji's appearance, but she didn't mince words and bluntly said, "Sorry, I already have a girlfriend."
“Me too~” Mitarashi Anko chimed in, echoing Kurenai’s words.
"Pfft."
"Smelly old man!!"
Sanji turned around and saw that the other cooks were trying not to laugh, but only Zeff laughed out loud.
"If you ask me, you little brat, you should just go and become a pirate."
"I'm not leaving! You old geezer." Sanji calmed down considerably, his face returning to seriousness, and introduced the menu to the three beautiful girls, "The restaurant has everything. If none of you have any dietary restrictions, I can improvise."
Hancock nodded. "Okay."
Hancock was somewhat surprised to see Sanji quickly composed himself and walk away.
This is still the first...
Five men who are immune to my charm.
interesting.
Aside from those two idiots outside and that watermelon-headed guy in the ninja world, he's a rare find among decent men.
But it's still not as good as Extraordinary~
None of the guests dared to move. They all returned to their seats, pretending to eat, and even after finishing, they pretended to continue eating, or tried to change the subject by chatting.
Afterwards, Luffy and his crew entered the restaurant and started shouting, attracting a lot of attention and improving the atmosphere of the restaurant.
Wow!! That's so cool!
Nami, seeing Luffy running around the restaurant like a monkey, covered her face, feeling incredibly embarrassed. "Luffy, can't you just be quiet for a second?!"
"Johnny, do you think there's anything good to eat at the restaurant?" Zoro asked Johnny, who was standing next to him.
Joseph walked to the side, drooling, and said, "The food here is delicious."
Before Johnny could respond, a blond young man appeared ahead of Nami, holding the red flowers he had just received. "Beautiful lady, I never imagined we would meet here. It must be fate!"
The three women, who hadn't eaten yet: ......
Hancock's lips twitched, she withdrew her earlier admiration, and covered her eyes, unable to bear watching.
......
At one of the dining tables, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Justice Pirates were drinking red wine and eating delicious food. After confirming that the other party was harmless and would pay the bill, the restaurant's chefs and guests breathed a sigh of relief, some leaving and others going back to work.
"Delicious! Kurenai, what you made is practically pig swill!" Mitarashi Anko said through tears as she ate the steak on her plate while complaining about Kurenai's cooking.
Kurenai Yuhi: ?
"If you're so good, then you do it yourself! You bastard!!" Hong put down her spoon and grabbed the girl's face, which was stuffed with meat, with both hands. "Don't eat my cooking next time!"
Of all the people on the ship, only her cooking skills were passable.
Hancock can't cook but can help prepare the ingredients; Nawaki knows a little; and her best friend, Red Bean, can only eat...
"No, I was just kidding," Hongdou said ingratiatingly. The food at Yuhi Hong was only home-style cooking, but the food at this restaurant was so delicious that she had to praise it.
Nami and the others also looked surprised.
Whether it's the texture of the rice in the fried rice, the freshness of the shrimp, or the broth that has been simmering for days, everything is incredibly delicious.
With the addition of red wine gifted by Sanji, the meal was truly delightful.
Just then, Luffy learned that Sanji had cooked all the food and couldn't help but extend an invitation, "Hey, do you want to join my pirate crew?"
"Your pirate crew... Are these beauties all members of your pirate crew?" Sanji's eyes widened as he pointed at Hancock, Kurenai, Anko, and Nami.
"No, no, no—" Luffy shook his head and waved his hands.
Sanji: "?"
