Once you put your heart into it, you will be there for life and death without any regrets.
As for Maud, as a man who was sincerely loved by the empress, even if she is strong-willed, she will inevitably be tempted.
After all, he who is walking on the road to the top of the world is still a man.
"Hancock."
Maude looked at Hancock's messy hair, couldn't help but stretched out her hand, gently tucked the hair behind Hancock's ears, and then asked with concern: "Are you feeling better?"
“…”
Hancock froze and said nothing.
When Maud made the intimate gesture just now, her head stopped spinning with happiness.
Maud was somewhat used to Hancock's reaction.
In order to make a quick decision, he took out a pure gold ring engraved with the word snake.
On the surface coated with shadow film, there are golden lines like snakes, revealing elegance and beauty.
"Hancock, this is a gift."
Maude handed over the ring in her hand.
He knew that if he put the ring directly on Hancock, it would definitely be a critical hit with maximum lethality.
But he was worried that Hancock would not be able to bear it, so he gave up the idea.
Hancock saw the ring that Maud handed over.
The brain that went down again showed signs of functioning again.
"Ring, ring..."
All of a sudden.
Beautiful pictures of the future flooded into Hancock's mind.
Hancock thought he was going to die...
aside.
When the two sisters Guluoliosa and Boya saw Moder handing over the ring, they both showed shocked expressions.
Immediately afterwards, a shocking scene happened.
Creak, creak—
Hancock's body was actually petrified, starting from the soles of his feet and spreading upwards at an extremely fast speed.
"Snake Princess!!!"
"sister… !!!"
The two sisters Guluoliosa and Boya looked at this scene in disbelief.
Only Hancock has always petrified others, but today...
They rushed over, but it was too late.
Hancock is completely petrified.
Maude was also surprised, but he was not worried at all.
Because he believed that petrification was Hancock's ability, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Just a very startling feeling.
After all, it was unexpected.
Groliosa's eyes shifted from the petrified Hancock to Maude.
"Disaster, disaster..."
She murmured to herself.
Chapter 545 Ring Finger
As the former emperor of Nine Snakes, Groliosa has lived to this age and has met many men.
Among them were two outstanding men who made the first two Emperors of Nine Snakes die of physical weakness due to excessive lovesickness.
However, none of these men can compare with Maud.
It's too dangerous, really too dangerous...
From Mode, Groliosa felt a sense of crisis that she had never experienced before.
She thinks—
Mod's existence may destroy the entire Nine Snakes Kingdom.
The strong sense of crisis brought an even stronger uneasiness to Guluoliosa.
If it weren't for her lack of ability, Groliosa would never want to see Mod step into Nine Snakes again.
Mod's appearance was not just a display, she could clearly feel the hostility and fear coming from Croliosa.
He didn't know what Groliosa was thinking, and he had no interest in knowing.
He is just an old man who has passed his seventies, and he is too lazy to delve deeper.
"sister!!!"
Sandasonia and Marigold gathered around Hancock, their faces full of bewilderment.
They would never have dreamed that the sister they had always admired would one day be turned into stone by her own power.
"what to do… ?"
The two of them had never encountered such a situation before and didn't know what to do.
Because they have only seen Hancock turn others into stone. Even if they sometimes remove the petrification, Hancock himself must use his ability.
But now Hancock is turned into stone by his own power...
Where to release it
"One of you can go get some seawater, it might be useful."
Maude looked at the two sisters who were at a loss and gave instructions.
Most of the Devil Fruit's ability effects will be invalidated by sea water or seastone.
Hancock's petrification ability will most likely be deactivated by sea water.
This is Mod's guess. Whether it will be useful depends on Sandasonia and the others bringing the sea water over.
The two sisters Sandasonia and Marigold did not hesitate to follow Maud's instructions to get sea water, and within a few seconds, they ran out of the huge palace.
Instead, Maude took two steps forward and stared at the stone surface of Hancock's body at close range.
Is this Hancock's ability backlash, or is he turning himself into stone
If it's the former, then you have to rely on external force to remove the petrification.
If it's the latter, you should be able to disable the ability yourself.
But whether it's the former or the latter, I'm afraid Hancock will only continue to be petrified like this.
Maud thought Hancock was quite funny.
But this can be regarded as one of the few cute things about Hancock.
"Fortunately I didn't put this ring on your finger..."
Maude said to herself.
Hancock was petrified just by being handed a ring.
People who don't know, think he is a person with sweet fruit ability.
If he took the initiative to put the ring on Hancock's finger, it's hard to imagine what would happen.
"Yo ho ho..."
Brook looked at the petrified Hancock and sighed sincerely: "I always feel that the captain is a very scary man."
"Sexy Bones, this is the first time I think what you said makes sense."
Perona glanced at Brooke.
Hancock, who has the power of sweet fruit, was turned into stone by his charm alone. In a sense, his captain is really a terrible man.
Brooke looked at Perona and hesitated to speak.
He hoped that Perona would stop calling him a pervert.
But thinking that most of the people in the group had been nicknamed by Perona, and considering the threat of negative ghosts, they gave up the plan of asking Perona to change her name.
After a while.
The two Boya sisters finally came back.
The two of them came back with a large basin of water.
Maude looked at the size of the basin. She originally planned to use sea water to wash Hancock's body.
Now that he saw how big the basin was, he simply rolled up Hancock with his shadow and slowly put her into the basin filled with sea water.
Wow—
Hancock, who was slightly heavy due to petrification, sank into the basin, splashing a little water.
The shadow tentacles wrapped around Hancock's body entered the water together, and immediately melted into nothingness like spring snow.
Sea water is the nemesis of those with abilities.
Naturally, he can also restrain the shadows that Maude tears from the shadows.
"I'm not sure if this will work, but it's a method you can try."
Maude removed the shadow and looked at Hancock who was soaked in sea water.
Sandasonia and Marigorud heard this and nodded silently.
At this moment, they managed to calm down and thought about the restraint relationship between sea water and ability.
So Maude is right, this is indeed a way.
But until the results come out, no one knows whether it will work.
Everyone in the venue looked at Hancock in the basin.
About five or six seconds passed...
The stone on Hancock's body suddenly began to fall away and dissipate.
"It seems to be working."
Maud looked calm.
If the sea water can't remove Hancock's petrification, then he will have a headache.
Because according to the original plan, he planned to set off in the evening.
If Hancock continues to be petrified, it will only waste his time.
Sandasonia and Marigorud didn't know what Maud was thinking.
When they saw Hancock's petrification begin to lift, they looked surprised almost at the same time.
Groliosa remained silent.
"As soon as Hancock wakes up, ask her to meet me in the next room as soon as possible. Also, tell her that I don't want to wait too long."
After Maude left a word, she turned and left for the next room.
Perona and Brooke followed Maude.
The two Boya sisters looked at Maud's back and naturally had no objections.
Within the basin.
The stone on Hancock's body was fading away quickly.
About half a minute.
