One piece : Celestial Rose

After a whole day of work, Saint Saturn was sitting in his house, taking care of his cane.

He didn't have much use of it beyond walking nowadays, so there wasn't a lot to take care of, and thus his mind wandered to Im sama.

"What happened that day, that we failed to see."

"Did Mark let those three escape or was it a coincidence?"

Saturn muttered, he wasn't actually asking the question to anyone, he was just talking to himself.

He wasn't able to understand what Im sama was thinking when he saw that page, so he decided to put the events in order.

"Two years ago, Fisher tiger invaded holy land and released all the slaves."

"A lot of people escaped that day, the three Boa sister's also ran away during that time."

Wiping some wood oil on his cane, the elder wondered how Mark was involved in everything.

"Mark was out with his guards when fisher tiger invaded, and he happened to meet those three sisters."

Saturn narrowed his eyes and thought about what happened next.

"According to Mark, he told them that escaping from holy land was impossible, he asked them to go back as he didn't want them to die in vain."

Looking at his shining cane, Saturn smiled and put it back on the ground

"Because he knew escape was out of the question, he took them to the edge of the holy land."

"He wanted to show them what happened to the people who tried to escape from here."

Frowning lightly, Saturn got to the part which he thought Im sama might have found worthy of consideration.

"But after reaching the edge, Boa Hancock attacked Mark and jumped down with her sisters."

"She didn't appreciate his kindness, even though Mark had stopped his guards from shooting them before."

Saturn put his hands on top of his cane, he found this story perfectly logical, this didn't seem like a lie.

Hancock wasn't the kind of girl to give up because of fear.

"She used Mark and his guards to reach the edge, otherwise she would have risked getting caught again."

So where was the problem.. wondered Saturn.

But then he realised, he understood what Im likey saw in the situation that they didn't.

"I see, so it wasn't an accident."

Smilingly he whispered.

"It was fate."

"It was fate!"

Yelled Boa Hancock while hugging a pillow which had Mark's face drawn on it.

Her sisters were looking at her with a helpless expression.

"Sister, he is a celestial dragon.. why are you so attached to him.. they were going to kill us all."

Marigold asked weakly, she didn't get it, she didn't even know what to say, she hated Mark like she hated every celestial dragon.

Yet her sister was rolling around with his face drawn on a pillow.

Sandersonia was trying to pull Hancock off the pillow from the side.

"Enough sister! He is a celestial dragon!"

"We still have their symbol burned on our backs! We cannot even remove it! "

Watching Hancock not wanting to let go of the pillow regardless of what she says, Sandersonia sat down on the ground with helplessness.

"Why did you get love sickness for this man!?! Why couldn't it be someone else!?"

Cried Sandersonia.

Marigold was sad as well, they didn't know why their sister was acting this way, but Boa Hancock didn't say a word.

It was as if she can was intent on not telling a soul what the reason for her lovesickness was.

That was until elder Nyon came into her room.

"Hancock, It's been two years, I think you should let them know now."

Marigold and Sandersonia looked confused after hearing this, while Boa Hancock trembled.

"..don't you dare."

Hancock whispered and held Mark's pillow tighter, but elder Nyon ignored it completely.

"Hancock, you are the queen of Amazon lily starting today, I have waited until this day without saying anything, just because I wanted you to take the position without any issues."

"But it's been two years now, your sisters deserve to know the truth."

"Tell them what happened that day, what did Mark Rose do that you fell in love with him."

Hancock looked down at the pillow without speaking for an entire minute, before she slowly got up with a twist to her waist.

She looked like a snake who was trying to intimidate her prey.

But elder Nyon was neither a prey nor intimidated.

"Okay, if you don't tell them I will, Marigold, Sandersonia."

Hancock trembled, the two sister's suspiciously looked at elder Nyon.

They wanted to know what the hell was going on.

"You guy's didn't escape that day by chance, that boy Mark made sure that you escaped."

Hancock put her hands on her mouth, tears were threatening to spill any second out of her eyes.

"You! I promised him not to tell anyone!"

The next she became enraged and lunged on elder Nyon, she started shaking the old woman from the collar.

But the old woman was completely used to this, she didn't even blink.

"Nonsense, your sisters were there too, were you planning on hiding this from them their entire lives!"

Hancock didn't stop shaking Nyon as if that would solve all her worries.

"But I promised him!"

"I was supposed to keep it a secret until the end of times!"

Meanwhile Sandersonia looked at Hancock in shock, hearing all this she was feeling very out of the loop.

"No wait! When did that happen?!"

"We were there with you that day, didn't we just walk to the edge and you kicked him away?"

Marigold also nodded quickly.

"Yeah, you guys didn't even say anything to each other!"

"When did he tell you all this?! How do I not know."

Boa smirked and left Nyon's collar, she joined her hands together, as if remembering a precious time.

"He didn't tell me anything! I just know it!"

"Ha??"

Even elder Nyon was shocked after hearing this.

Everything she said just now was something she had figured out by herself.

It was an easy conclusion to reach for her because boa Hancock developed love sickness shortly after returning.

Elder Nyon was a Amazonian too, she knew how their biology worked.

Hancock would have died if Nyon didn't give her the pillow with Mark's face on it, and gave her a solid goal to work towards before meeting him again.

But now Hancock is telling her that she imagined everything!

"So you just think he did all that?! There was no secret conversion between you two?!"

Elder Nyon gasped but Hancock proudly raised her head.

As if showing off how amazing they were to hold conversations with their heart alone.

"Girl.. I don't know what to do with you."

Elder Nyon shook her head, she walked slowly away with a sigh, she had given up thinking on this topic.

"Perhaps, this is her fate."

Whispering lightly, Nyon went her way.

Until Hancock got a grip on herself, she still needed to manage the work of the empress.

'That Mark, he must be truly extraordinary.'

'Hancock might not be wrong here, there is a possibility that she didn't imagine this.'

'After all, Hancock is not an ordinary girl, she has the potential of a king.'

When a user of conqueror's haki like Hancock thinks like this, then elder Nyon had no doubt that the man named Mark must also have the quality of a king.

He was also a conqueror, a conqueror who conquered a conqueror, not many men can achieve such a feat, but all those who do, were destined for greatness.
