Chapter 17 Nine Snake Island
"Grandma Gloriosa sighed again!"
On the beach of Nine Snake Island, the Emperor of Nine Snakes sat on the shore for another day. When night fell, she returned to the palace in disappointment.
She overheard the guards talking, and they all thought she was crazy, but none of them knew the torment in her heart.
"You must come back safely, Hancock," Gloriosa thought to herself. Since Shakky talked to her on the phone bug, he told her that the three Boya sisters, who were abducted by human traffickers three years ago, came to Shakky for help, and among them was a person with Conqueror's qualifications.
Grandma Gloriosa was overjoyed when she heard this. It had been a long time since Nine Snake Island had descendants with Conqueror's qualifications, and now they were about to come back.
"What is that?" One of the guards keenly discovered that there was a large shadow in the sea moving quickly towards Nine Snake Island.
"Protect Granny Gloriosa!" Following the guard leader's loud shout, the long snake around her waist instantly turned into a longbow, and the rest of the guards aimed their bows and arrows towards the sea.
"No, it's a Sea King, everyone is ready to retreat!" When the Sea King approached, the guards were shocked. Although everyone among the Nine Snakes warriors practiced Armament Haki, it was still too reluctant for them to deal with this behemoth.
"Why are there Sea Kings coming here? There have been no Sea Kings near my Nine Snakes Island for nearly a hundred years." Gloriosa's brows knitted together deeply.
"Sisters of Nine Snakes, I am Hancock, I'm back!" Hancock saw the shadowy figures on the coast, so she shouted excitedly.
"Hancock? The Hancock who disappeared three years ago?" The guards started talking one after another. Hancock was the heir trained by Nine Snakes, but she disappeared with her sister the first time she went to sea.
Granny Gloriosa's face suddenly became happy: "Hancock, good boy, you are finally back."
Before the sea beast could reach the shore, Hancock and her two sisters rushed towards the shore on the Moonwalk.
This is what Levi taught them. They are indeed the geniuses of Nine Snakes. They learned Marine Six Styles in a short period of time.
The three Hancock sisters hugged Granny Gloriosa and the guard leader and cried uncontrollably.
"Children, you have suffered. Don't worry, as long as you return to Nine Snakes, you will be safe, and you will never suffer the slightest grievance again." Grandma Gloriosa kept comforting them.
"Ding! It is detected that the Host has completed this sign-in task, and the rewards will be distributed now."
As the system's sound chimed, various insights about Armament Haki emerged in Levi's mind, and Levi mastered Armament Haki in an instant.
Tezzolo glanced at Levi curiously. Although Levi was standing there, Tezzolo felt that Levi had become stronger again.
"Hancock, I heard that you have awakened Conqueror's Haki?" Granny Gloriosa asked, with a hint of trembling in her voice. Although she said she got the news from Shakky, she still felt uneasy without verifying it herself.
Hancock glanced at Levi, and when she saw Levi nod to her, she turned around and came to Granny Gloriosa.
Hancock's eyes were sharp, and her aura suddenly changed, an inviolable aura emerging from her body.
Granny Gloriosa and others felt a pressure on their hearts, and one guard after another fell down.
"Hancock, it's okay." Levi patted Hancock's shoulder gently, and Hancock retracted her Conqueror's Haki.
"It's really Conqueror's Haki. I, Nine Snakes, am about to rise." Mother-in-law Gloriosa's face flushed with excitement. When she saw Levi acting close to Hancock, her brows immediately furrowed.
"Let her go!"
The rest of the guards also aimed their bows and arrows at Levi.
"Young man, men are not allowed to set foot on Nine Snake Island. Since you are the one who sent Hancock back, I don't care. You can leave quickly!" Gloriosa said.
"Leave quickly!"
The rest of the guards roared together.
"Levi is my husband, who dares to drive him away?" Hancock had a slight blush on her face, and then she took Levi's hand in front of everyone on Nine Snakes.
"Hancock, you..."
Mother-in-law Gloriosa was also speechless. All the emperors of Nine Snakes Island were single, and none of them had ever looked for a man as blatantly as Hancock.
Grandma Gloriosa advised: "Hancock, don't mess around. This is the ancestral motto of our Nine Snakes for hundreds of years..."
"In that case, brother Levi and I will go together, and you can choose another emperor!" Before Granny Gloriosa could finish speaking, Hancock pulled Levi and prepared to leave.
Grandma Gloriosa felt a headache. Hancock had left Nine Snake Island for three years, and she didn't have that much sense of belonging to Nine Snakes at all. It just so happens that this little girl is the only one in Kuji who owns Conqueror's Haki.
"Okay! Let's make an exception and let the two of them go to Nine Snakes Island!" Granny Gloriosa compromised.
