Chapter 78: Big And Small Things In Three Years, Reunion And Changes
In the past three years, apart from the development of the "Cross Family" into a first-class force, Kahn and his crew have undergone tremendous changes.
Somewhere in this world, significant events have taken place.
For instance, after the destruction of Ohara a few years ago, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, the future "most ferocious criminal in history", Monkey D. Dragon, has formed an army and is expanding rapidly.
I believe that it won't take many years before the Revolutionary Army's headquarters moves into the New World and becomes one of the dominant forces opposing the World Government.
Three years ago, Dragon returned to Garp with a grandson, the future Son of Destiny, Monkey D. Luffy.
Two years ago, Doflamingo's younger brother, Corazon, returned to the Donquixote Family as an undercover Marine.
The Marine and World Government are aware of the cooperation between Kahn and Doflamingo.
However, due to Kahn's secret cooperation with the World Government, the Five Elders specifically issued an order to Kong, instructing Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was hunting Doflamingo, to leave Kahn's business alone.
This is one of the privileges of the "Cross Family" working with the World Government.
In addition to this privilege, Kahn can also, like the Seven Warlords of the Sea, let his sailboat pass through Mariejois to and from the first and second halves of the Grand Line.
Of course, the premise is that Kahn is not afraid of being ambushed.
This privilege is not only available to Kahn but also to Kaido.
Both the World Government and the Marines are short of seastone, and most of the seastone in the world comes from Wano Country.
Just like Kahn, who controls a small human race, the World Government can't confront Kaido directly, so they establish cooperation with him.
A year ago, a pirate imprisoned soldiers and threatened a king to surrender the throne in a member country.
When the king sent a signal to the World Government for help, they sent the future CP9, the strongest killing machine in the past 800 years. Rob Lucci, who was only 13 years old at the time, killed 500 soldiers and pirates by himself.
A few months ago this year, lead disease broke out in North Blue. The country called "White City" Flevance was devastated. Trafalgar Law, who has three years and two months left to live, joined the "Donquixote Family" in mid-June this year.
These are some of the significant events of the past three years.
Additionally, Shanks, who recruited Usopp's father, Yasopp, established his own "Red-Hair Pirates" and started his voyage.
Once his crew is complete, I believe they will soon become a world-renowned pirate group.
But when Shanks entered the world's highest stage and challenged the world's greatest peaks, Kahn was already waiting for him at the top.
So, Kahn didn't care about Shanks' rise.
After setting out with a large and a small maid, Kahn took out Hancock's life card, followed its guidance, and sailed their ship towards Amazon Lily.
With the help of telekinetic wind control, their ship arrived at Amazon Lily in just three days.
"Master, I miss you so much~!"
As Amazon Lily appeared on the distant horizon, still more than a dozen nautical miles away, a blue-white lightning bolt appeared out of thin air on the deck of their floating ship.
Hancock teleported to the deck, threw herself into Kahn's arms, and said in an excited tone.
"We missed you."
Kahn, embracing Hancock's slender waist with both hands, smiled and said, "Hancock, you've grown up a lot."
"..."
Like a child, Hancock kept rubbing her cheek, known as the world's most beautiful, against Kahn's chest. She then looked up and smiled, saying, "Master has also grown up, not only more beautiful but also taller and stronger than three years ago."
"How have Sonya and Mary been these three years?"
Standing up with Hancock in his arms, Kahn asked the now 21-year-old Hancock as he looked at her closely.
As Kahn just said, Hancock has grown up a lot and surpassed her original self.
In the original story, Hancock's height was only 1.91 meters, and she would be close to 2 meters only if she wore high-heeled shoes.
In this life, Hancock, even in ordinary shoes, stands at 1.95 meters, matching Kahn's height. If she wears high heels, she would easily surpass 2 meters.
Obviously, this growth spurt is thanks to the Logia Rumble Rumble Fruit.
Electrotherapy, one of the Rumble Rumble Fruit's abilities, isn't just a life-saving skill. Its function is similar to the technique of Life Return; it helps the host digest energy and stimulates the human body to develop its potential.
With electrotherapy, Hancock's growth rate is at least twice that of her original story.
At this growth rate, by the Sea Circle Calendar 1522, Hancock's strength would be worth at least three billion berries.
With this level of power, she would be one of the world's top-tier fighters.
"Sonia and Mary have changed a lot in the past three years," Hancock said, hugging Kahn's waist tightly. "They have been with Granny Nyon for three years, learning how to manage a country."
"Thanks to their assistance, I was able to manage a country without losing strength."
Hearing this, Kahn laughed and said, "It looks like they've all grown up."
"Uh-huh," Hancock nodded repeatedly, smiling. "On the phone, Master, you should have sensed that Mary has become much quieter, and Sonia has become more mature, right?"
"True," Kahn nodded, wondering how much Mary's appearance had changed.
Soon, their ship arrived in the skies over Amazon Lily.
The sudden appearance of a flying sailboat in the sky did not cause a huge sensation on the island.
Before Kahn entered the windless zone, he had already informed the three Boa sisters.
Sonia and Mary had also informed the citizens of Amazon Lily about the imminent migration of their kingdom.
Seeing the arrival of the spaceship, the soldiers and citizens of Amazon Lily realized that it was time for their relocation.
Both soldiers and citizens were filled with excitement and anticipation.
Living in the windless zone, they had always yearned for the outside world.
Especially the Kuja warriors who returned from expeditions with the Empress. Their tales of the outside world only fueled this desire.
However, the number of people going to sea each time was limited.
Therefore, ordinary citizens of Amazon Lily had only two ways to experience the outside world.
One was to strive to become a Kuja warrior who mastered Haki and then compete to become a member of the "Kuja Pirates," allowing them to go on expeditions.
The second was to ask the Empress to take them on her next expedition, find a strong man in the outside world, get pregnant before the expedition ended, and then return to give birth.
Now, with Amazon Lily moving to the outside world, they could live in a bustling world in the future.
This possibility filled the soldiers and citizens of Amazon Lily with excitement and anticipation.
Coupled with their blind trust and worship of the Empress, no one objected to Hancock's decision.
