Chapter 71

And sitting beside the campfire was a person,

who seemed to be roasting something!

On the deck,

one of them stared at the person by the campfire and observed carefully for a long time,

before finally saying:

"Judging by the clothes, that person doesn't seem to be from our island!"

"It's possible it's an outsider; let's sail over and take a look!"

"Yes, right, let's go take a look, don't let anyone with ulterior motives sneak onto the island!"

Subsequently,

the two huge swimming snakes changed direction,

dragging the Perfume Snake behind them toward Li Xiao's direction!

A moment later,

as the ship drew closer,

everyone on the deck finally saw Li Xiao's appearance clearly,

and immediately exclaimed in succession:

"No way, a man! That's actually a man!"

The Kuja tribe is a group composed entirely of women,

and not even a single man lives within their group!

Sometimes,

Kuja tribe members who are away from home will get pregnant outside,

and then return to the Island of Women,

and the children they give birth to are inevitably girls!

Plus, the Island of Women is located in the Calm Belt,

and they have not been in contact with the outside world for a long time,

so they cannot distinguish the difference between men and women,

and might not even recognize a man at all!

However,

the members of the Kuja Pirates before them were exceptions!

Because they were the most elite warriors within the Kuja tribe,

they were able to become members of the Kuja Pirates!

They often leave the Island of Women on this one ship,

so they have some knowledge of men,

which is why they were able to recognize Li Xiao at first glance!

Looking at the Kuja Pirates before him,

Li Xiao couldn't help but let out a light sigh,

rubbing his temples in distress!

Just a moment ago,

he was still considering whether or not to make contact with the Kuja tribe on the Island of Women,

and now,

no need to consider,

he had already made contact!

At this moment,

everyone's gaze on the deck fell squarely on Li Xiao!

The tall, thin woman who had previously noticed that Li Xiao was not from the island immediately shouted:

"An unknown man has appeared on the island! Alert! Prepare for battle!"

As soon as she finished speaking,

all the members of the Kuja Pirates instantly entered combat mode,

taking out their bows and arrows,

drawing their bows,

and aiming at Li Xiao on the shore!

Meanwhile,

the two huge swimming snakes pulling the ship also poked their bodies out of the water,

hissing loudly at Li Xiao on the shore!

Seeing this,

Li Xiao turned his head slightly,

looked at the two huge swimming snakes,

and let out a light hum,

releasing the pressure of the late stage of Refinement of Qi into Spirit,

intentionally pressing it toward the two snakes under his control!

The two huge swimming snakes that were previously hissing loudly instantly went silent,

their entire bodies stiffening!

Then they suddenly plunged their bodies into the water,

leaving only their eyes and noses exposed above the surface,

looking exactly like crocodiles!

In those eyes exposed above the water,

visible fear was revealed!

I, Li, just didn't want to have a conflict with the Kuja Pirates,

after all, he had trespassed on their territory!

But what are you two big mud-loaches roaring about here?

If the Sky Lord were here right now,

he would likely smash these two fellows into the water with his tail!

And then whisper in their ears,

don't provoke this fierce man before you, no matter who you provoke!

He will give you a stomach wash!

And make you a guard snake!

Even though the pressure Li Xiao released was only aimed at the two huge swimming snakes,

the dissipated part of the pressure

still made everyone on the ship feel a sense of oppression,

as if the air had become much heavier!

Under this dissipated pressure,

everyone on the deck changed their expressions,

becoming even more solemn!

Clearly,

this man before them was stronger than they had imagined!

Just then,

footsteps were heard,

A sound of footsteps approached,

and two huge figures walked out of the cabin!

Both of them had partial snake features,

and they were none other than the second and third of the Gorgon sisters!

The one with green hair was the second sister,

named Boa Sandersonia,

a user of the Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Anaconda!

The other with brown hair was the third sister,

named Boa Marigold,

a user of the Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: King Cobra!

Following behind them,

another person walked out of the cabin!

Compared to the two,

the figure of the last person to walk out was undoubtedly much more normal!

She was about 1.9 meters tall,

with a slender and curvaceous figure,

a head of long, jet-black hair draped behind her,

deep blue eyes, and a pair of snake-shaped earrings hanging from her earlobes,

wearing a red outfit,

and a white cape draped over her back—

it was none other than the Empress—Boa Hancock!

With Hancock's appearance,

the solemn atmosphere caused by Li Xiao's dissipated pressure dissipated by more than half!

Everyone on the deck turned their heads to look,

and shouted:

"Ah, Snake Princess has come out!"

"Snake Princess!!! No matter how many times I see her, I still want to say, Snake Princess is so beautiful!!!"

"That's for sure, Snake Princess is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

At this moment,

the second of the three sisters, Boa Sandersonia, looked around,

and asked:

"What's going on, why have you all picked up your weapons? Did you encounter any enemies?"

Upon hearing this,

someone immediately replied:

"Sandersonia-sama, we discovered an unknown man on the shore of the island!"

"He is very strong; just by looking at them, he scared both swimming snakes into diving into the water!"

Upon hearing this,

Hancock walked calmly to the bow of the ship,

and looked in the direction everyone's bows were aimed!

She saw a campfire lit on the shore,

with a dead wild boar roasting on the fire,

and sitting beside the campfire

was a man!

Because the man was sitting facing the sea,

from Hancock's angle,

she could see his face perfectly!

He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes,

his features were handsome but not overly soft,

and his long hair was tied behind his head with a jade hairpin...

Wait!

This face,

I seem to have seen it somewhere before!

I feel as though I have seen you somewhere before!
