One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman
Chapter 459 9 Snake Camp
She felt confused and inexplicably excited by her reaction just now.
For her, who had always been proud and used to being in control of everything, this unfamiliar emotion was like a sudden surge of strong winds and huge waves on the calm sea. It was completely beyond her understanding.
She secretly warned herself: "Humph, how can I lose my mind because of this young boy? He is just an ordinary pirate."
She tried to suppress the surging emotions in her heart with such thoughts, so that she could regain the dignity of the empress. However, her eyes seemed to be cast under a spell by Luffy's figure, and she always followed him unconsciously.
When they were about to reach the camp, the sun shone through the dense branches and leaves, falling on the ground in patches. The Nine Snakes' guards were patrolling around the camp, their bodies were agile, their eyes were sharp, and they were always alert.
Suddenly, a guard spotted Hancock and shouted, "The Empress is back!" Instantly, the other guards put down their work and gathered in Hancock's direction.
"Your Majesty, you're back. Are you okay?" The guards looked concerned and worried.
They surrounded Hancock tightly, looking at her carefully, not missing any possible details. They looked so anxious as if Hancock was their most precious treasure and any mistake would break their hearts.
"Hmph, what can happen to me? Don't make a fuss." Hancock raised her chin slightly, a hint of impatience flashed in her eyes, and she returned to her arrogant posture.
Her voice was as cold as a mountain spring, and she responded coldly. There was an unquestionable majesty in her tone, which immediately silenced the guards, but the worry in their eyes was only slightly reduced.
Luffy followed behind Hancock, his eyes wide open, like two bright stars. He looked at these female warriors curiously, his eyes flashing with excitement, like a child walking into a treasure room full of toys.
"Wow, there are so many amazing sisters!" He couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
His eyes swept over the guards, taking in every detail from the weapons in their hands to their unique costumes. He looked as if he was looking at a group of novel treasures, and was full of curiosity and admiration for these female warriors.
The guards heard Luffy's voice and noticed this strange man. They all frowned, and the worry on their faces was instantly replaced by vigilance.
They narrowed their eyes slightly, their gazes shot towards Luffy like sharp blades, looking at him with vigilance, "Lady Empress, who is this man? Why is he with you?"
Hancock frowned slightly, her delicate eyebrows slightly knitted, and a trace of imperceptible displeasure flashed in her eyes.
She was about to explain Luffy's identity to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, but Luffy's impetuous temper made him speak first: "I am Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King!"
His voice was loud and confident, echoing in the open space, and every word seemed to carry a magical power, demonstrating his unshakable belief.
He stood straight with his chest held high, and his iconic straw hat looked even more dazzling in the sun.
His confident look stunned the guards. They looked at this seemingly reckless boy in surprise and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Hmph, what Pirate King? You're the only one who can do that?" A guard said disdainfully. She curled her lips, her eyes full of contempt, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and looked at Luffy with a scrutinizing look.
In her opinion, One Piece is an unattainable dream. Only legendary figures like Whitebeard and Roger are worthy of this title, and the young boy in front of her is just bragging.
Luffy jumped up in dissatisfaction, like an enraged little lion. He pushed the ground with both feet and leaped up, and after landing, he took another step forward with great momentum.
"Of course I can, I will definitely find One Piece!" His eyes were full of determination, a persistence in his dream, like a burning flame, hot and dazzling.
He clenched his fists tightly, his joints turning slightly white from the force, and his unyielding spirit was like surging waves, hitting the people around him wave after wave.
Hancock looked at Luffy and her heart moved again. She seemed to see a familiar yet unfamiliar power from Luffy. That power made her even more curious about Luffy.
"Okay, okay, he's my guest, don't be rude." Hancock waved her hand, her movements were elegant and majestic, with an unquestionable authority.
The camp was bustling with activity, with some female warriors training and some sorting their weapons. Seeing Hancock coming in with two men, they all looked at her in surprise.
Luffy was like a curious baby, looking around and was interested in everything around him.
"It's so fun here, much more fun than our boat!" He ran around excitedly, touching this and looking at that.
Hancock looked at Luffy's actions, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
Her impression of Luffy gradually changed during their interactions. This man, whom she originally hated, now had an inexplicable attraction to her.
Ling Tian watched all this from the side, secretly laughing in his heart. He knew that Luffy could bring a different atmosphere wherever he went, and this time was no exception.
He felt relieved when he saw the change in Hancock's attitude towards Luffy. He hoped that this harmonious atmosphere could be maintained and that no more trouble would occur.
After all, on this mysterious and dangerous island, there are still many more unknowns waiting for them to explore.
Luffy stopped in the middle of the camp. He looked up at the sky and shouted, "Rhinoceros Beetle, where are you? I must find you!"
His voice echoed over the camp, as if announcing his determination to the entire island.
Hancock looked at Luffy's energetic appearance, and the blush on her face quietly appeared again. She coughed lightly, trying to cover up her loss of composure, then turned and walked towards her tent, leaving Luffy to continue his search for rhinoceros beetles in the center of the camp.
In the tent, Hancock sat on a chair, chin in her hand, and Luffy's image kept appearing in her mind.
She sighed softly, and the strange feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger. She didn't know what kind of emotion it was, but she knew that this man named Luffy had left a special mark in her heart.
At this time, Luffy was still mingling with the female warriors outside the camp. His hearty laughter and fearless courage gradually changed the female warriors of the Nine Snakes tribe's views of him.
