“Hiss~~”
Don't get me wrong, that's not the hissing of a snake, but the sound of Vivian lying alone on the edge of the boat, sucking on a cigar.
They found a deserted island nearby and burned the dead snake to ashes with the Flame-Flame Fruit.
Seeing the huge snake body disappear in the flames, many people shed sad tears, including Domino and Eli.
The two women were very kind-hearted, especially Ai Li. She even chopped down a tree with a saber, cut it into pieces, and erected a tombstone for the snake on the uninhabited island. She also engraved the words "General Thunder Saved the Snake" on the tombstone, which made Vivian feel that she was somewhat cute, but also a little bit amused.
However, putting all this aside, the current situation made Vivian feel a little troubled again.
Because the two water snakes are the main tools used to support the pirate ship, now that one is dead, the remaining one naturally cannot bear the weight of the ship alone.
Hancock wanted Vivian to send them back to Kensomia Island, but as a navy officer, Vivian naturally could not help pirates who were wanted by the World Government in front of her subordinates.
So after thinking it over, he said, "Let's find an island later and I'll have the craftsmen rebuild your boat so that it can sail directly into the sea."
But who knew that he had just finished speaking.
"General Thunder, you don't have to worry about our lives. This woman is cruel and ruthless. More people will surely die at her hands in the future."
"Yes, Admiral Vivian, we are the navy, how can we be in league with pirates?"
"Especially since you are a general. Even if we die at the hands of that woman, we cannot destroy your reputation."
"Navy, never surrender!"
Some people began to shout Vivian's "famous slogan".
However, at this moment, Hancock bit her fingers and suddenly spoke: "Is this really how you see me?"
As soon as the voice fell, the navy soldiers who had just shouted indignantly that they wanted to go to war with the Nine Snakes Pirates, now changed their previous attitude and looked at Vivian righteously and said: "Admiral Vivian, please be sure to take her away from here!"
Vivian: “…”
Your moral bottom line is really easy to change.
"Hey, cheer up!"
"Didn't everyone just say they wanted to defeat the Nine Snakes Pirates?"
"A woman with such a vicious heart should be locked up in the Impel Down Prison and tortured!"
Domino tried to wake everyone up, but just as she finished her words, Hancock appeared behind Domino, patted her shoulder, and asked softly, "Do you want to put me in the Impel Down Prison?"
The biting cold instantly enveloped every part of the body.
Domino subconsciously turned her head and saw that her left shoulder had hardened into stone without her knowing. No matter how hard she tried, she could not move it at all.
Is this the strength of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Pirate Empress
Fear immediately surged into my heart.
At the same time, Vivian reached out and grabbed Hancock's wrist, smiling and saying to her, "That's enough, Boa Hancock. If you keep making trouble, I will really take action."
"Do it?"
Hancock was about to say "Show me how you do it" but when he realized that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move Vivian's hand that was holding him, he swallowed his words back.
There was no way, she was arrogant and rude, but that didn't mean she was stupid. The man in front of her was an admiral after all, even if his strength was weaker than that of a real admiral, but if they really fought, she had no confidence that she could defeat him.
As the saying goes, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head... Just consider it as a favor to the other party who told me who Larven really is, and let them go.
"I am tired. If there is nothing else, please send me to a nearby island."
As he spoke, he patted the back of Vivian's hand with his other hand.
Seeing this, Vivian eased up, leaving a purple mark on Hancock's wrist.
"Wait a moment."
"Anything else?"
Hancock was about to leave when Vivian stopped her and said in a very unhappy tone.
"Remove the petrification from her shoulders."
Hancock turned around and glanced at Vivian with dissatisfaction, then raised her slender hand, and after removing the petrified part of Domino's body, she raised her head again, twisted her graceful figure arrogantly, and walked straight to the bow.
...
"That woman, I could clearly feel that if you hadn't taken action at that time, she would definitely have killed me."
Patopak Island, the shipyard in town.
While Hancock was relatively far away, Domino stood behind Vivian and complained in a voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
"I know...that's why I took action at that time."
She also felt Hancock's murderous intent at that time.
However, given Hancock's arrogant personality, he was not surprised at all.
As for why they didn't just arrest Hancock...
Maybe because she is beautiful
Or maybe he doesn't want to interfere too much with the original plot
But in short, at this moment, Vivian held the attitude that it was better to have less trouble than more, and just wanted to get rid of this woman quickly, and then go back to the headquarters to have a good rest for a while.
What
You said there are still many official business to be handled
He had already given that thing to his secretary to do.
Although doing so is somewhat against the rules, given his status as an admiral, I believe Stephanie would not dare to object or report him to Akainu.
"Well, I've already paid the money. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Vivian said.
"Consider it as I'm lending it to you." Hancock crossed her arms over her chest and subconsciously pulled her sleeves to cover the bruises on her wrists. Then she tilted her head back and looked at Vivian through her nose.
Vivian: “…”
"No need. Consider the money I paid for rebuilding the ship a gift to you. Let's not meet again if we can avoid it." Vivian said, waving her hand.
He really thought so.
Once you provoke a beautiful yet ruthless woman like Hancock, the troubles she brings will most likely be endless.
For example, when he was at the Rogue Town base, he was almost murdered by a radical navy soldier who broke into his home because he was too close to Tashigi. Even now, he still remembers it vividly.
Although I am now strong enough to not be afraid of such trivial matters, it is still annoying to have so many flies.
He is most afraid of trouble.
And at the moment when he waved goodbye and walked out of the shipyard without any reluctance, Hancock also felt a little curious about this man whom she met for the second time in her heart.
"This is the first time a man has shown such indifference towards me."
Oh yeah, the guy named Luffy from last time also counts as one, this guy is the second one..
"You have successfully attracted my attention..."
After I meet Larven in the Revolutionary Army’s territory, I’ll find an opportunity to thank this guy in person.
"It would be best if I could invite this guy to be a guest at my wedding with Larven..."
Muttering to herself, she couldn't help but imagine the scene of marrying her idol. Hancock actually lifted her left leg for the first time, held her face, and began to scream uncontrollably under the astonished gazes of the Nine Snakes Pirates.
