"Elder Nyon…"
Hancock, only 24 years old at the time, clearly lacked the domineering aura she would possess a few years later, and immediately burrowed into Elder Nyon's embrace.
"Sigh, Snake Princess…"
It was true that women being together on Amazon Lily was not surprising, but Esdeath was clearly not from Amazon Lily.
As someone from outside Amazon Lily, how could she like women?
Even if women from Amazon Lily were together, they would leave the island to get pregnant when it was time to have children, and then return.
Elder Nyon silently patted Hancock's shoulder. She believed that with time, Hancock would forget that woman. She would leave it to time.
"Elder Nyon, I'm so sad. Why is this happening?"
Hancock clutched her chest, feeling an immense discomfort in her heart, yet not knowing why, nor what kind of feeling it was.
Her face also turned red, as if her body was burning!
Elder Nyon seemed to notice Hancock's abnormality, her eyes filled with disbelief. Hancock had truly fallen for that Marine!
A red face and a body feeling like it's burning – this was a reaction to emotion that had existed in Amazon Lily since ancient times!
This also indicated that Hancock was truly experiencing genuine feelings.
"This is disastrous!"
Pressing her hands to her cheeks, she carried Hancock's feverish body and rushed to Hancock's bedroom.
"Elder Nyon, what's wrong with Big Sister?"
Boa Sonia and Boa Marigold, her two younger sisters, quickly came over with concern, looking at their pained older sister in Elder Nyon's arms and urgently asking Elder Nyon.
"Sigh, because of Esdeath…"
"What! How dare she hurt Big Sister! We'll go find her and settle the score!"
Before Elder Nyon could finish, Sonia was already about to take Marigold to the beach to confront Esdeath!
"It's not what you think!"
"It's because Snake Princess is sick, with an incurable illness."
"Impossible! Big Sister has always been very healthy!"
Hearing that Hancock was in such pain because of an illness, Sonia didn't believe it at all.
The three of them lived together day and night; how could they not know if their sister was sick? Besides, if it was truly bad, they would just treat her!
There was no such thing as an incurable illness!
"It's no use. The illness Snake Princess has is called lovesickness." Elder Nyon sighed, her eyes seeming to recall her past self, wondering if she hadn't been just like Hancock now.
...…
"Lady Esdeath."
Tina cautiously approached Esdeath's room and knocked on the door, her eyes filled with brightness and a hint of confusion.
Creak!
The door opened, and Esdeath looked at Tina with some curiosity. What was she doing coming to see her in the middle of the night?
"What is it, Tina? Come in and talk."
"Okay! Tina is coming in."
Closing the door, Tina sat down on a nearby stool with some restraint, her eyes fixed on Esdeath.
"What do you need me for in the middle of the night?"
She smoothed her hair, looking at Tina.
"Tina actually has something she wants to ask Lady Esdeath."
She tapped her two fingers together, a bit embarrassed, and then spoke: "Tina wants to know why Lady Esdeath rejected that woman?"
"Tina thinks that woman, whether in terms of figure, looks, or strength, is far superior to Tina. Why didn't Lady Esdeath agree?"
"If it was merely her pirate identity that concerned you, Tina believes Lady Esdeath wouldn't care about such things!"
Tina then shook her head, her tone firm as she questioned Esdeath.
To put it mildly, even if the marriage proposal had been directed at her, she might have agreed!
That woman's beauty was simply too unbelievable, to the point where it made even her, a woman, feel moved.
Even setting aside her strange charming ability, that woman's appearance and figure were top-tier!
Yet Lady Esdeath showed no reaction at all, even refusing without hesitation.
As for why she asked this question, it was because there was one thing Tina was absolutely certain of: Lady Esdeath definitely liked women and had no interest in men.
So why reject such a stunning woman?
"You came in the middle of the night just to ask this?"
She looked at Tina with amusement, somewhat disbelieving that this matter could keep Tina awake.
To be honest, Hancock's proposal had moved her.
You can imagine, right? When a woman known as the most beautiful in the world proposes to you, would you not be moved?
Especially for Esdeath, who had a woman's body but a man's heart?
"Lady Esdeath, don't laugh. Tina is very serious!"
"If it's to consider Tina's feelings, Tina believes that as long as Lady Esdeath is happy, Tina will be happy!"
Looking at Tina's serious face, Esdeath suppressed her smile and slowly began to speak: "Actually, it's nothing…"
She didn't give Tina an explanation, because she didn't know what to say. Should she say that she preferred to be the dominant one, and that the proposal should have come from her?
That would be a bit inappropriate.
"Let's not talk about that. Don't leave tonight. I happen to be a bit lonely."
"Ah! Tina, Tina should still go back to sleep. Tina is used to sleeping alone."
Tina, who was originally concerned about Esdeath's answer, instantly blushed upon hearing this. She immediately stood up and burst out of Esdeath's room with unimaginable speed.
"Hahaha, this little girl."
Esdeath shook her head and returned to bed.
Tina, who had quickly fled Esdeath's room, walked onto the deck and let the night sea breeze blow on her, muttering with a red face: "Esdeath actually wants to sleep with Tina… but Tina isn't ready yet."
Her face was as red as a monkey's backside.
"Lieutenant Commander Tina!"
"You two go back. I'll take watch tonight."
She hadn't calmed down yet, so she would stand watch for the Marine soldiers for a while, and then calm herself down.
"Yes!"
The two female Marines exchanged glances and disappeared from the deck, their eyes full of gossip.
If they hadn't been mistaken just now, Lieutenant Commander Tina had just come out of Lady Esdeath's room!
In the middle of the night!
"Be careful, don't alert them!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Two furtive pirates surfaced by the bottom of the warship, and after confirming there was only one person on the warship, one of them went back to report the news.
Tina, who was still enjoying the sea breeze, seemed to sense something amiss and fired a Black Spear behind her.
"Black Spear!"
"Damn it, we've been exposed!"
Just as he was about to flee, a black iron bar pierced through his chest.
The male pirate couldn't believe he had died just like that, when the legendary Daughter Island was right before his eyes!
"Woo—"
A sea whistle sounded.
"Everyone to the deck, pirates are attacking!"
"Inferno Explosion!"
A violent flame instantly struck the deck, and the deck caught fire.
