Chapter 72

After being stunned for a few seconds,

Hancock seemed to suddenly remember something,

and actually turned around suddenly,

rushing back into the cabin!

Seeing this,

everyone from the Kuja Pirates on the ship was stunned,

and even Li Xiao on the shore was stunned!

In fact,

when Hancock walked to the bow and looked at Li Xiao,

Li Xiao was also looking at her!

Although in his previous life on Blue Star,

Li Xiao had seen the elegance of this Empress more than once,

but that was through a screen,

and there was ultimately a dimensional wall!

And now,

when Li Xiao broke through the dimensional wall

and saw Hancock with his own eyes in the pirate world for the first time,

he couldn't help but be slightly dazed!

Unlike Nami and Robin,

Hancock gave people a feeling of stunning beauty!

The moment you saw her,

you had a feeling that she was a heavenly being!

It must be said,

Hancock was indeed worthy of the reputation of being the world's most beautiful woman!

Whether in terms of figure, appearance, or temperament,

she was at the top level!

What was even more precious was that

these three factors were merged together very cleverly,

giving people an even stronger visual impact!

Even with Li Xiao's current state of mind,

the moment he saw Hancock,

he couldn't help but feel his heart stir!

However,

before he could take a few more looks,

he discovered that Hancock had suddenly turned around and rushed back into the cabin!

Uh... this...

What’s going on?

No,

it’s one thing that you suddenly turned around,

but why are you walking away so hurriedly!

I, Li Xiao, may not be handsome, dashing, debonair, as beautiful as Pan An, or a celestial being descended to the mortal world,

but I’m not so scary that I’d frighten someone away on the spot!

While pondering this,

Li Xiao lowered his head to look at the half-roasted wild boar in his hands,

and muttered softly:

"Don't tell me you, Pigsy, were the one who scared her off?"

(Wild boar: I’m already on the barbecue rack, what more do you want! I may not be human, but you are truly a dog!)

Just at this moment,

Hancock, who had just rushed back into the ship's cabin, came running back out in a hurry!

Unlike before,

this time,

she had an extra wanted poster in her hand!

Hancock walked back to the bow of the ship,

looked at Li Xiao,

then looked down at the wanted poster in her hand,

compared them carefully for a long time,

and only then asked cautiously and softly:

"Are you Mr. Li Xiao?"

Hearing this,

Li Xiao nodded subconsciously,

but immediately felt something was off!

"Cautious" and "softly,"

are these adjectives that should be used for the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock?

Furthermore,

how would Hancock know his name?

It’s normal for him to know Hancock,

but if Hancock knew him,

that would be truly strange!

Logically speaking,

Li Xiao had never been to the Calm Belt,

let alone Amazon Lily,

nor had he ever had any contact with Hancock,

so how could Hancock know him?

Thinking of this,

Li Xiao immediately asked in return:

"You know me?"

Seeing the confusion on Li Xiao's face,

Hancock thought for a moment and understood the reason,

and immediately threw the wanted poster in her hand toward Li Xiao!

Since the wanted poster was just a piece of paper,

and the ship was still some distance from the shore,

therefore,

in order to make the wanted poster cover such a long distance,

Hancock subconsciously imbued it with a bit of Armament Haki,

making it slightly hardened!

Li Xiao raised his hand slightly and caught the wanted poster,

looked down at it,

and the first thing that caught his eye was that familiar golden barrier!

And inside the golden barrier,

was a young man sitting cross-legged,

eating an orange with a relaxed expression!

At just one glance,

Li Xiao recognized it!

The scene in this photo

was clearly the moment he fought Garp at the Navy G-16 Branch base in the East Blue!

That was also the first time he used the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda,

thereby realizing the power of Brother Pagoda,

and feeling the immense sense of security that Brother Pagoda brought!

What he didn't expect was that

the Navy had actually taken a picture of that scene amidst the chaos!

Well,

I can only say,

this angle was chosen really well!

Where is the photographer?

Add a chicken leg to their dinner tonight!

The moment Li Xiao saw this wanted poster,

he had already realized it!

After all, he had killed two Celestial Dragons in a row at the Sabaody Archipelago,

if there wasn't a wanted poster,

then he would have to doubt whether the two he slaughtered were genuine Celestial Dragons!

It’s just that,

after Li Xiao left the Sabaody Archipelago,

he had been busy looking for the next place to eat,

and hadn't thought about this at all!

In fact,

even if Li Xiao had thought of it,

he wouldn't have believed the wanted poster could spread so quickly!

In just three short days,

it had already reached the Calm Belt!

Finally,

Li Xiao focused his gaze on the bounty amount at the bottom of the wanted poster!

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million, hundred million, billion, three billion...

Whoa,

it was actually a full 3.5 billion Berries!

In all fairness,

in Li Xiao's view,

this bounty was quite high!

After all, this was Li Xiao's first time being wanted,

and he himself didn't have the status of a pirate or revolutionary,

yet he still had a bounty close to that of a Yonko!

If it weren't for Li Xiao killing two Celestial Dragons in a row,

causing the Holy Land of Mary Geoise to be furious,

even with the strength Li Xiao displayed—enough to easily fight two Admirals alone—

the Navy probably wouldn't have given such a high bounty!

However,

regarding the bounty,

Li Xiao didn't care much!

He wasn't a pirate,

so whether the bounty was high or not was completely meaningless!

It wasn't as exciting as getting another Yang Pill from checking in!

But,

having said that,

with such a bounty of 3.5 billion,

in the eyes of a certain little cat burglar,

Li Xiao had probably already become a walking treasure...

Just as Li Xiao was looking down, focused on his wanted poster,

Hancock, standing at the bow of the ship, was also staring at Li Xiao,

silently talking to herself in her mind while watching him.

"Compared to the wanted poster, he himself seems even more handsome!"

"Not only handsome, but his strength is also great; two Admirals were no match for him!"

"And, he even dared to kill Celestial Dragons!"

"He seems like the man of my dreams..."

Watching and watching,

Hancock couldn't help but become a bit entranced,

and couldn't help but recall the scene from two days ago when she was bathing in the bathroom,

staring at that wanted poster for a full half hour,

and her face suddenly flushed slightly!
