After the death of the 18th-century Austrian composer, the youngest of the 18th-century Austrians, the youngest of the 18th-century Austrians, was born.

(All the characters in this chapter are adults)

(To avoid unnecessary words, the names of the two younger sisters will be shortened)

"Eh? Eh?"

Looking at the twin cherries in front of her, one red and one purple with a heart-shaped pattern, Hancock barely recovered from her shyness and said in surprise,

"Is this... a devil fruit?"

Hancock, who came from Nine Snake Island, naturally knew what a devil fruit meant. It was a "secret treasure of the sea" that could give the user all kinds of incredible abilities, a shortcut to strengthening oneself, and also a shackle. After eating it, the sea would despise it.

From what the other party meant, was it for herself?

As if noticing Hancock's surprised and puzzled look, Yakumo Shiro smiled and explained,

"Strength is the root of this sea, isn't it? If you are strong enough, you won't be caught in the holy land, right? If you believe me and crave strength, then eat it.

After all, you don't want your sisters to be in danger again, right?"

The gentle words were as warm as the spring breeze, but after falling into Hancock's ears, it made Hancock's heart tremble violently.

Has she not thought about it before? You know, Nine Snake Island is a country full of women. Even with the natural barrier of the doldrums, it still pursues violence and power! Because only in this way can this unique country of women be protected!

If I were stronger, I could completely kill those hateful human traffickers! Even this holy land is the same!

It's just that I have not practiced for a long time now. Not to mention the top power in this sea, even some ordinary navy, pirates, and even slave ships can't defeat them. If I have a powerful devil fruit, it is indeed the best choice to enhance my strength!

But...

Hancock was a little worried, her eyebrows were twisted together, her eyes were downcast, and she asked in a muffled voice,

"Yakumo Bai... is this the name, right? I... can I ask you a question?"

"Oh? Of course, speaking of it, I know you quite well, but you only know my name~"

Yakumo Bai teased with a hint of meaning.

Hearing this, Hancock blushed. She knew what the other party was talking about. So she glared at Yakumo Bai with a coquettish and angry look, and then she tried to calm down and asked softly, "I want to know... you are so powerful and can break into the Holy Land to enslave the Celestial Dragons, why... why do you want to buy us... and now you are giving me another devil fruit...

Could it be... could it be for...嘤~"

Having said this, Hancock lowered her head again in embarrassment. The girl now is far from being as narcissistic as she will be 20 years later, so she really can't say that Yakumo Bai is doing it for the beauty of the three sisters... and that would be too self-satisfied.. ....

However, contrary to the girl's expectation, Yakumo Bai was surprisingly honest. He said,

"Actually, I learned this from an elder sister~

Beautiful things should be cherished, just like famous paintings are well preserved in frames, and books are collected in libraries...

Beautiful girls should also enjoy their lives happily, showing their beauty to themselves and those who cherish them, and should never bury it in such a dirty holy place..."

Yakumo Bai's words were really decent, but looking at it carefully, there were only five words: —————

Of course, the simple Hancock would definitely not be able to hear it, but he could more or less understand that the other party was praising him! つ﹏⊂

Although he seemed to have been shy countless times in front of the other party, Hancock still couldn't help but hold up his face, as if he was using his cold little hands to cool down his hot little face.

However, Yakumo Shiro would not let the girl play the "ostrich" like this. Seeing that she seemed to be a little confused, he firmly grasped her wrist and said, "No matter what, Hancock, I hope you can understand that beautiful flowers need careful care, but they also need the ability to protect themselves. I "bought" you out of selfishness, but I also hope that while you have the ability to protect yourself and the things you cherish, you can also be my helper.

Power~

In this way, you and I can both feel at ease, right? "

After Yakumo Bai finished speaking, Hancock's heart was already stirred.

At this moment, Hancock felt that she was extremely lucky. She was lucky to be bought by the other party and escape the fate of a slave. She was lucky to be treated kindly by the other party, and just for simple protection. She was lucky to know and understand the other party, and would use her own strength to become his helper...

If Hancock was still a little wary and suspicious when she was brought here by Yakumo Bai, then after a series of "contacts" and such a conversation, Hancock has quietly begun to began to trust each other and began to regard him as a support.

Speaking of which, Hancock was just a little girl. In an environment where she was isolated and almost became a slave, such a reliable warmth had already won the girl's favor, not to mention that the two of them were hugging each other now~

"I...I know...I will do as you say~"

Taking the sweet fruit from Yakumo Shiro's hand, Hancock reached out and stroked the hair by her ears, lowered her head and said embarrassedly.

"...Oh! Of course! "

Yakumo Shiro slightly turned his eyes away. After all, in the original work, the Sweet-Sweet Fruit was almost immune only to Luffy and powerful domineering owners. Although he could temporarily turn himself into a doll, he was still unsure whether he would be tempted. Just in case, he should look away for the time being.

Hancock held the Sweet-Sweet Fruit in his hand. After taking a steady look at Yakumo Shiro, he solemnly put the Sweet-Sweet Fruit to his mouth and pursed his lips nervously. Hancock knew that he was holding his own future in his hands!

A future that could control his own destiny and walk with him!

Secretly making up his mind, Hancock closed his eyes tightly, then opened his mouth slightly and took a bite of the cherry in his hand!

"Hmm... It's so unpalatable! "

Hancock could not help coughing a few times after she swallowed hard with frowning eyebrows. After the uncomfortable feeling dissipated, she gathered her mind and wanted to feel her own ability.

However, before she could calm down, there was a sudden exclamation behind her-

"Sanda!"

Marigorud looked at the gradually petrified Sanda Sonia with a worried look on her face. Before she could finish her words, she was also petrified on the spot under the charm of Hancock's ability.

"Sanda! Mary!"

Seeing this, before Hancock could figure out the current situation, she heard Yakumo Bai shouting to her,

"Oh no! I forgot they were here! Hancock! Find a place to hide first and get familiar with your ability. They are fine for the time being! It's just the effect of the ability! They can be changed back! "

Hearing this, Hancock heaved a sigh of relief, and then wanted to turn around and leave as Yakumo Bai ordered, but what the girl didn't expect was that due to the violent action just now, something unexpected happened suddenly-

"Ah~~~~!!!"

A scream that could not hide shyness suddenly rang in her ears, and at the same time, it also attracted Yakumo Bai, who was about to go to check on Sandasonia and the others, to turn around and look-

"No! Don't look back~~"

"————"

Another stone sculpture stood up, but it returned to its original state in a blink of an eye. Hancock's whole body turned red, and she hurriedly grabbed the bath towel and stumbled towards the room, leaving Yakumo Bai with a dazed look stiff in place.

"Uh... Why is Hancock petrified? I'm fine? Could it be that it bounced back?"

After a long time, Yakumo Bai wiped his nose and murmured unnaturally.
