Chapter 212

At the same time,

somewhere else in the New World,

aboard the Moby Dick,

one of the Four Emperors,

Bai Huzi, hailed as "the strongest man in the world," sat in the seat of honor,

with IV drips hanging from all over his body,

yet a broad, hearty smile never left his face.

At this moment,

he looked at a bounty poster in his hand,

and laughed heartily:

"Hahahaha! Another extraordinary figure has risen on the seas!"

…………

Calm Belt,

Amazon Lily,

inside a bathroom.

Mist filled the air,

and through it one could faintly make out a woman sitting in the bathing pool.

The woman's body from the neck down was soaked in the hot spring water,

and with the mist shrouding everything,

it was impossible to see clearly!

Looking upward past her neck,

there was a face of breathtaking, melon-seed beauty,

paired with a pair of deep blue eyes,

8 as if they could steal one's soul and captivate one's heart at any moment!

6 On her earlobes she wore a pair of snake-shaped earrings,

1 a cascade of jet-black long hair tumbled down like a waterfall,

0 floating upon the water's surface!

6 The world's most beautiful woman, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the reigning Emperor of the Amazon Kingdom, captain of the Kuja Pirates!

4 ··· 0 asking for flowers·· ········

;　　The Pirate Empress — Boa Hancock!

7　　At this moment,

4　　Hancock leaned against the edge of the bathing pool,

!　　a newspaper in her hand,

6　　the contents of which were unmistakably about the Celestial Dragon death incident that had taken place on Sabaody Archipelago!

Hancock stared blankly at the newspaper in her hand,

and murmured:

"Celestial Dragons…"

Just speaking those three words

made her body tremble slightly, instinctively,

a shudder born of fear!

Those three words

seemed to drag up a memory from the deepest part of her mind,

the darkest memory,

the most painful memory,

the one she least wished to recall!

After a long while,

Hancock finally managed to rein in her emotions,

and slowly rose to her feet,

her upper body, previously hidden beneath the water, now fully exposed to the air without a stitch of concealment!

However,

due to threats from the River Crab Divine Beast,

the cowardly author gave up on any frontal description of her upper body!

And on Hancock's back,

there was a crimson mark!

The center of the mark was a red circle,

above the circle were three spike-like shapes,

and below the circle was one more!

The entire mark, put together,

looked like the paw print of some kind of animal!

This was the Hoof of the Flying Dragon!

The Flying Dragon's Hoof,

is the slave brand the Celestial Dragons carve upon their slaves!

Once branded,

it can never be erased!

This indelible mark is regarded as proof of an inferior human that can never be wiped away!

Hancock extended her right hand,

reached past her armpit along her side to touch the Flying Dragon's Hoof brand on her back,

and time seemed to return to those darkest days many years before!

She lowered her head to look at her own reflection on the water's surface,

and softly said in a low voice:

"Celestial Dragons…"

"He actually… killed two Celestial Dragons…"

After a long while,

Hancock picked up the wanted poster bearing Li Xiao's photograph that lay beside her,

stared at it in a daze for a long time,

and suddenly her cheeks flushed faintly red,

and she said softly:

"He's… he's actually quite handsome!" Gong.
