One piece :Nox ( Before Dawn)

The warrior's grip tightened around Trell, while the imperious Hancock, with an inscrutable expression, sank listlessly onto the couch. She couldn't accept that an ordinary mortal had uncovered her carefully hidden past.

"Sister, what should we do with this man?" Boa Sandersonia asked doubtfully.

"Execute him, and don't give him a chance to spread this news. If he dares to blabber at the trial, I will handle it myself," Hancock's resolute voice betrayed her fury.

At that moment, Gloriosa entered the hall, looking around in bewilderment. Upon entering, she encountered Sal, escorted by the warriors. The contrast—him, a prisoner, and her, free—seemed surreal to her. Yet, as if oblivious to this, he greeted her with a smile, maintaining calm and composure, not appearing like a desperate criminal.

"Old woman, what are you doing here? I told you I wouldn't respond to the call of the Seven Warlords."

Gloriosa wanted to continue persuading Hancock. After all, the call of the Seven Warlords offered more advantages than disadvantages. However, today the Snake Princess was extraordinarily angry, which silenced her. In such circumstances, the headstrong and commanding Hancock wouldn't heed anyone's advice.

"Snake Princess, what happened with this man? Did he attack you?" Gloriosa asked.

"This man saw the mark on my body?" Hancock hissed through clenched teeth.

"...

August D. Sar... What is he planning? Knowing the secret of the Snake Princess is something impossible to accept. They are now mortal enemies...

Sal was being led by two warrior women, using a black two-headed snake as a rope. Both heads gently and gracefully licked each other, like a pair of lovers.

"... What kind of sight is this?"

"Please, loosen your grip, and don't be so tender in front of me," Sal said, looking disapprovingly at the strange snake that seemed to be trying to show him affection.

At Sal's authoritative tone, the two heads of the snake instantly separated, as if encountering a predator, and the grip weakened.

This surprised the accompanying warriors. After all, the venomous two-headed snake of the Island of the Amazon Lily symbolized death, a fierce creature. And now it's afraid of the prisoner?

The surprised exclamations of the soldiers were accompanied by the familiar sound of a notification.

[The course of events for the S-rank character Siant Shalria has been altered, reward 5000 points]

[Current number of points: 57329]

The system notification aroused Sal's curiosity. He anticipated that his actions would influence the fate of the Celestial Dragone from the Rozvard family. After all, he had killed two of her relatives.

With the Rozvard family devoid of all its men, they would inevitably lose a substantial part of their influence among the Celestial Dragons. However, how exactly these short-sighted Celestial Dragons would change remained unclear.

In just one day, the number of fate points had significantly increased. Although it didn't grow as quickly as through emotional experiences, it was still a considerable boost. Perhaps killing the Celestial Dragons would earn him over 100,000 points.

"A purple lottery... I am eagerly anticipating it."

Soon Sal found himself in a familiar place—the Arena of the Amazon Lily. Countless spikes were set between the wide arena and the spectator seats, upon which lay bodies not yet cleared away.

Not long ago, he was a spectator, and now he had become an actor—a true twist of fate.

The warriors of the Island of the Amazon Lily, dressed in revealing attire, discussed his appearance. After all, he was not only a major sinner but also a man they had never seen before.

"Is that really a man? He's so handsome."

"Doesn't he seem quite similar to us?"

"His chest is flat, that's strange."

"...

With his Observation Haki, Sal clearly heard their conversations. A group of women who had never seen a man. If no one restrained them, it would be a real hell for any man.

Don't dream of a man's paradise—not every man can withstand this. And by the way, dear, who said his chest is flat, are you serious?

The noisy crowd quieted down when the three Boa sisters appeared, accompanied by loud applause.

"Today, The Empress is as beautiful as ever!"

"Kuja Queen X999!"

"Silence..."

On the command of the guards, the situation was under complete control. The Queen of Amazon Lily, Boa Hancock, sat on her throne with legs crossed. Two slender white legs beneath her skirt guarded an enigmatic area of her body. Her beautiful face was impassive, and her eyes radiated malice. In a cold voice, she said:

"Man, I want to ask you why you came to the Island of Nine Snakes and how you managed to get here."

Sal didn't rush to answer, first looking around. He didn't see Luffy or those familiar warriors. It seemed that Straw Hat hadn't been caught yet, though theoretically, besides the Pirate Queen, no one on the island should be able to defeat him.

Sal's gaze shifted to the three Boa sisters towering over him. This perspective—looking up at them—was quite unpleasant.

As for Boa Hancock, despite their brief encounter, Sal understood well how difficult a character this beauty possessed.

She was no noble lady; she was a pirate, burning, killing, and looting.

"Boa Hancock, my arrival here was accidental. I was being pursued by an admiral, and I just wanted to find shelter. I reached the island through the air," Sal lied seriously.

Seeing the prisoner dared to call Lady Snake by her name, the crowd was outraged. To them, Hancock was akin to a deity.

"This man is so rude; he dared to call Kuja Queen by name!"

"Liar, what does 'through the air' mean?"

"Guilty, this man is clearly up to something!"

Sal ignored the crowd's words, keeping his gaze fixed on the beautiful eyes looking down at him. In them, he saw only coldness.

A magnetic female voice rang out:

"Even if you are lying, you won't survive here. I sentence you to death."

The sentence was pronounced, and the crowd erupted:

"Kill this man X999!"

Sal was in shock. As expected from a wild lily of the Amazons, she didn't bother with a trial and immediately pronounced a death sentence. Such is the nature of these woman, terrible.

"Release the executioner beast, Barbara!"

As soon as Hancock finished, a giant black panther leaped into the arena. Its bloody maw greedily swallowed spit, and its fierce eyes looked at the man as if he were prey.

...

Seeing this, Sal easily freed himself from the snake ties and began stretching under the gaze of countless women. The giant beast was nothing to him.

Seeing its prey daring to behave so boldly, the giant black panther rushed to attack. But it was met by a fist the size of a sandbag.

"Boom..."

The fist sent the Black Panther flying far beyond the arena, disappearing from sight.

[C-ranked characters experience normal emotions towards the host, elementary surprise, experience increase 5 x 1797]

Sal smiled and looked at Hancock. At that moment, the Kuja Queen frowned and looked at him displeased.

Yes, the real show was just beginning. He was going to "squeeze" everything he could out of the Island of Amazon Lily.
