The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Boa Hancock lay in the calm dead water, where she could only allow herself to rot. Her dying heart would die along with her body in the outside world. Even if she was resurrected by some forced means, the empress would be nothing more than a walking corpse.

"You are such a loser! You don't want to live after encountering such a small setback"?

A cold voice came to her ears, and the empress lying in the water suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the figure that was mocking her.

Compared to her original ragged slave attire, the person she was talking to was wearing an expensive, high-end cheongsam, and her figure and appearance were exactly the same as Boa Hancock.

"Who are you? Are you another me?"

Facing the original body's questioning, the other Boa Hancock raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and her eyes flashed with confidence.

There was a unique kind of pride in her brows. This pride was not arrogance, but came from the strength and self-confidence deep in her heart. She was no less proud than the empress who had not collapsed.

At that moment, the other empress appeared more upright, more elegant and extraordinary. Her presence seemed to exude an invisible charm that made people fall for her.

"I am you and not you. I come from the sweet fruit you eat. We are one, you are in me and I am in you. No one can separate us."

The other me turned out to be the parahuman Sweet-Sweet Fruit. Boa Hancock, who had never seen the world, had a look of surprise and doubt on her face. She never thought in her life that one day she would meet another Boa Hancock in the world of heart.

The devil fruit actually has self-awareness. This has somewhat impacted the Empress's worldview. As a Shichibukai, this is the first time she knows this. If there is another self living inside her, won't it have an impact on the original self?

"Isn't it a little too late to be scared now? If you weren't so decadent, I wouldn't have the chance to meet you."

The other empress's appearance began to change. Snake scales formed on her skin one after another. Her waist-length black hair gradually came to life and began to sway in the windless land of her heart.

The Empress had a premonition and knew what was going to happen next. Boa Hancock was no longer so concerned about what would happen on Nine Snake Island. She was only curious about one question and hoped that her other self could give her the answer.

"This sweet fruit was force-fed to me by the Celestial Dragons. Now it seems that things are far from that simple. Did I choose the fruit, or did the sweet fruit choose me?"

The woman's dead eyes blossomed with a final desire for knowledge. Perhaps this is what human beings are like. Curiosity is human nature and one of the origins that led their entire race out of the wilderness.

The other Empress looked at the original body calmly. She could have not answered, but Boa Hancock's personality and body were very compatible with hers. In the short history of mankind, the Empress was her most satisfactory host, no doubt about it.

"I chose you. From the moment you became a slave of the Celestial Dragons, our fate has been inseparable. Boa Hancock wishes you a sweet dream."

Boa Hancock's eyes gradually lost focus, she slowly closed her eyes, saying her final goodbye to the world. A crystal tear slid down the corner of her eye, it was her last concern and attachment to this world.

Her face was calm and sad, tears slid down her cheeks, leaving a faint mark, like the last trace she left in this world, her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end it just turned into a faint sigh.

At this moment, time in the pure land of the heart solidified, everything around became still and silent, only that drop of tear, carrying her endless sorrow and deep concern for the world, fell quietly.

It fell into the stagnant water, splashing a faint splash of water, and then disappeared, as if symbolizing her departure and final relief, and Boa Hancock's pure land in her heart collapsed the next moment.

Marshall D. Teach was still outside holding the empress's body. Feeling that this beautiful woman had lost consciousness, the evil thoughts in his heart began to grow. Who made Boa Hancock so beautiful?

"Why not have some fun while it's hot?"

"I think it's okay, I can't help it anymore"

"She is so small, I guess she can't do it many times."

After Blackbeard's three ferocious faces exchanged opinions with each other, the other arms began to move. Boa Hancock's heavy breasts became the first target of his hands.

Just when Marshall D. Teach was about to kiss the empress, his dirty hand was about to touch her chest, but the man stopped halfway. It was not that Blackbeard had a change of heart, but his arm began to show signs of petrification from the inside out.

"The smell of you makes me sick"

Boa Hancock slowly opened her eyes, revealing a kind of indifference and cruelty different from before. Her gaze was as cold as a star, making people shudder. Her originally beautiful face was now covered with a layer of frost, exuding a natural sense of alienation.

Her body exuded another powerful aura, completely different from that of a human being, like that of a naturally cold-blooded beast, or a demon without human emotions.

The part of the Sixth Heaven Demon King's body close to the Empress gradually showed signs of large-scale petrification. Even if Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach possessed the Dark Dark Fruit, he could not offset this horrifying petrification ability. This was already a power beyond the Devil Fruit and infinitely close to the power of the law.

Blackbeard's petrified body was extremely fragile and shattered piece by piece without any external force, completely freeing the Empress Boa Hancock, and the woman's body floated in the air.

The empress's hair fell on her back like a waterfall, black and shiny, sparkling with a mysterious light. The breeze blew through her hair, gently fluttering as if it had life.

Suddenly, every strand of hair came to life and began to twist and wriggle, transforming into horrifying poisonous snakes. They raised their heads and spit out their tongues, twisting their bodies, and emitting a suffocating breath. The poisonous snakes' eyes flashed with cold light, as if they were watching everything around them, making people shudder.

These poisonous snakes entangled and intertwined with each other, forming a dense group of snakes, which made the audience watching the sky screen shudder. Their body scales flashed with strange light, and they hissed from time to time, as if announcing their horror to the world.

The whole scene is full of weirdness and horror, and the changes that happen to the woman remind people of those ancient myths and legends.

"This feeling of being alive is something I really miss."
