One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

The clear waves rolled, like naughty children playing, and the blue waves caressed the Neptune's body, leaving wet kiss marks.

At the end of the sea, nine ferocious snake mouths face the sea with fangs exposed, and the stone snake tails are intertwined like a dome standing on the top of the mountain.

"We finally arrived at Nine Snakes Island!" Rayleigh finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two characters "Nine Snakes" carved on the flat cliff below the stone snake.

Even the powerful Rayleigh was a little bit too much to endure after spending more than a month on the sea. "

The powerful Overlord color was released, and Rayleigh picked up Ann and came to the edge of the island.

Even if Rayleigh has not personally experienced the rules of the Nine Snakes clan, he has heard about them for a long time. The purpose of releasing the Overlord Color is to remind the residents of Nine Snakes Island.

Overlord colors exploded in the sky, and a powerful aura spread throughout Nine Snakes Island.

Just as Rayleigh thought, the moment the overlord color was released, Hancock, who was in the palace bathhouse, immediately felt the wave.

Naked, Hancock got up from the bathing area. He didn't have time to wipe off the water droplets on his body and put on the cheongsam he had taken off before. Hancock hurriedly left the palace.

The edge of the forest on Nine Snake Island.

A group of female warriors from the Nine Snakes Pirates surrounded Rayleigh with snake bows and spears.

As a nation where everyone can use Haki, its combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Feeling the color of weapons wrapped around the arrows and spears, Rayleigh did not act rashly, but quietly waited for Hancock's arrival.

Soon a graceful figure landed from the sky in front of Nine Snakes' warriors. Hancock's face was flushed because he had just taken a shower and was on his way quickly.

As soon as he landed, Hancock recognized the person who had helped him Reilly.

Signaling the soldiers to put away their weapons, Hancock led Rayleigh towards the village.

Naturally, men are not allowed to enter Nine Snake Island, but as his benefactor and old man, Rayleigh is a special case.

Passing through the forest, the view begins to widen, and the city wall connected to the sky separates the village of Nine Snakes from the outside.

After passing through the village gate, as a man, even Leili, who was well-informed, began to look at the village of Nine Snakes curiously.

As he walked along, Lei Li found that this place was indeed full of women as rumored outside. I don't know if it was because there were no men, but the women here were very open-minded.

He withdrew his curious gaze and moved forward. Not long after, he saw the tall and majestic castle tower, the residence of Empress Nine Snakes, halfway up the cliff, leaning against the city wall, beneath the stone sculpture of Nine Snakes.

Strolling up the side steps, passing many residences and pavilions along the way, the two finally arrived in front of the castle tower.

The ancient green door opened, and the two of them walked towards the interior of the castle tower.

Inside the castle tower.

The former emperor of Nine Snakes, Grandma Guluoliosa, had already received the news and was waiting for Rayleigh in the palace.

Compared to the normal Nine Snake warriors, Groliosa is significantly shorter in height. She has gray wavy hair with a red flower and holds a cane made of a curled snake in her hand.

"Leilly, why did you come to Nine Snakes Island if you didn't stay with Xia Qi in the Shampoo Islands!" The snake staff tapped the ground, and Groliosa was very dissatisfied.

"Oh, Groliosa, I came to Nine Snakes to ask for your help with something."

Groliosa didn't say much about Rayleigh's attitude. After all, without Rayleigh, it would have been impossible for the three Hancock sisters to return to Nine Snakes Island.

"Your matter refers to the recently wanted navy in your hands?"

As the Empress's assistant, she recognized An's identity the first time Rayleigh came in.

"That's right, I hope you'll help me see if there's any way to wake her up."

"Let Nine Snake's doctors take a look at her first!"

Hancock ordered toward the door, and soon several female doctors from Nine Snakes came in.

As time passed, the examining doctor's expression changed from calmness to surprise.

"Lord Snake Ji, this marine is in good health, but his spirit seems to have been greatly shocked, and he has been in a coma since then."

As for why, Kuja's doctors were able to tell that Ann was a marine, thanks to the damaged navy uniform she wore that hadn't been replaced.

"You guys go down first!"

On Hancock's orders, several Nine Snake doctors left the palace.

"It's exactly what I thought." Taking the others away, Rayleigh confirmed his previous guess, which also gave him a headache.

The mind is different from the body, and its treatment is not only difficult but also dangerous.

"Hancock, Groliosa, is there any way you can treat her?" Rayleigh asked the two of them.

"If conventional medical treatments don't work, maybe the Devil Fruit can wake her up," Groliosa reminded.

After getting the suggestion, Rayleigh took out the phone bug and planned to ask Shanks.

As strong men from the old era, Rayleigh and Roger were not very interested in Devil Fruits, so they had never read the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book.

On the contrary, as the new Yonko, Shanks may have a better proposal.

Bulu Bulu...

Red Forth.

Shanks, who was having a party, connected to Rayleigh's communication in surprise.

Three claw marks appeared out of thin air, and then Shanks' face appeared.

"Mr. Reilly."

Shanks' voice came from the phone bug.

"Shanks, do you know which fruit has the ability to heal the spirit," Rayleigh said without any nonsense.

Although he didn't understand Rayleigh's intention, Shanks still gave the answer, "Big Mom's Soul Fruit and Revolutionary Army Commander Betty's Inspiration Fruit both have the ability to affect the mind. I don't know about the others."

There is no need to think about the soul fruit. It is impossible to expect Big Mom to save people.

"Shanks, help me find the person with the Encourage Fruit ability."

Soon Shanks' voice came again, "Mr. Rayleigh, I haven't found Betty's location, but I know that the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Drago, recently appeared in the East China Sea Windmill Kingdom."

Continuing to exchange a few words with Shanks, Rayleigh put away the phone bug.

"Hancock, Croriosa," Rayleigh called their names sincerely, the pleading in his tone self-evident.

"Give me a reason to stay," Hancock's proud voice sounded.

Hancock is indeed grateful for Reilly's help back then, but this does not mean that he will obey the former's words. If the other party cannot give a satisfactory answer, he will refuse without hesitation.

Not only was Groliosa not disgusted with Hancock's approach, but she also agreed with it. As the empress of Nine Snakes, she needs to have her own ideas.

Facing such a scene, Reilly raised his glasses and said calmly: "Hancock, do you know why she is wanted by the Navy?"

In the empty palace, Rayleigh's question rang in their ears.

"What does what she did have to do with me?"

Hancock, who was sitting on Samero with his legs crossed, raised his head and answered Riley's question proudly.

After touching his nose, Rayleigh said angrily, "She killed the Celestial Dragon."

Without much explanation, Reilly knew exactly how to convince Hancock.

"Dragon people!"

"Hearing this disgusting name, Hancock felt uncomfortable all over, and waves of nausea surged into his chest, making him gag."

"Ugh~"

"Hancock!"

Groliosa panicked and ran to Snake Girl, stroking her back.

"No matter how much time passes, the 'Draco hoof' symbolizing the slave symbol on Hancock's back reminds him at all times not to forget what the Draco did."

Pushing away the approaching mother-in-law, Hancock said to Reilly: "I agree to your request!"
