บท 41: Hancock
The whole world was in chaos. The seat for the fleet admiral has yet to be taken. The sudden death of Akainu was unexpected.
The two remaining admirals, Fujitora and Kizaru were assigned to hunt down Madara and kill him.
(There was another Admiral, but not much is known about him, so I will leave him out.)
Kizaru used his devil fruit to travel between islands. Fujitora had something else in mind, visiting the twins.
The marines don't have many clues about Madara Uchiha, but they are adamant to find him even if they have to travel to the end of the world.
With almost no leads, they thought that going after the sisters would lead them to Madara. Since the Lu twins are related to Madara in a way, they thought they could find him through them. It was the best shot they had.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were busy shopping for clothes and food for the future. Last time they had to eat rotten meat in Purgatory for a thousand years because their food supply was short.
As they were having a good time, a voice called out to them.
"Twins!" The voice resounded through the store. It was none other than Hancock, behind her was the Kuja pirates. Hancock really was going to go full out on the twins.
The twins turned to see who it was calling to them, once they saw Hancock they resumed back to shopping ignoring the pirate empress.
Hancock twitched her eyes in anger. She called out to them only for them to ignore her a second later.
"Sis, do you think Saviour will like these clothes?" Lili showed her sister a pair of men's pyjamas with Bartholmeo Kuma's face in it.
"Why P.J's?" Linlin asked.
"Don't you think that Saviour will look cute wearing these?" Lili said with a blush.
Linlin pictured Alex wearing those PJ's and she too blushed.
"All right! Saviour doesn't own any PJ's so he might like them." She responded.
"And look, there are the same PJ's for us. We should get them too and have a slumber party."
"Sometimes you act like a kid." Linlin tapped her sister's head lightly. They're over a thousand years old and she acts like a kindergartener.
"Ow. Sis!"
"HEY! I AM CALLING OUT TO THE BOTH OF YOU!" Hancock couldn't take it anymore. She landed a kick right at Lili, which she blocked easily with her hand.
Part of Lili's hand turned to stone.
"Oh. It's just like Saviour's ability." Lili was astonished. To think that there were others that could turn others into stone.
Hancock smirked, this was her devil fruit power in effect. Whatever she hits will turn to stone, whether its an object or alive.
Lili will not turn to stone, only the part of her hand will turn to stone.
However, Hancock saw that Lili's hand was back to normal. The part where her hand turned to stone was gone.
"What?" Hancock was awestruck. That should not be possible, unless she commands it, Lili's hand should not be able to turn back to normal.
Lili realized that the power of her immortality must have somehow nullified the effect of Hancock's devil fruit power.
Even if it didn't, she would have cut off her hand and a new hand would regenerate.
"How dare you touch my sister." Linlin said creepily behind Hancock. Even Hancock could not sense when the other sister got behind her. Not even the Kuja pirates saw her move at all.
Linlin has super speed, not even their haki could react fast enough to sense her. Unless if one can see the future, no one can react to her speed in this world.
"Let's go for a ride." Linlin grabbed Hancock's shoulder and flew up to the sky leaving a giant hole in the store they were in.
Before Hancock could even think, she saw that she was already far above the clouds. She could hardly breathe, and it felt so cold, even colder than being in the ocean at night.
"Happy landing." Linlin let go of Hancock, who then was falling to her death. No matter if she is a warlord, she will either die upon landing on the ground, or would be left seriously injured.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Hancock screamed at the top of her lungs as she continued to fall from the sky.
The Kuja pirates were looking everywhere for their leader, they could not see where Linlin had dragged Hancock to, despite the obvious hole on top of the building.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" They heard the scream of Hancock coming from above. They looked up, at first they only saw a black dot, but that dot turned to a human, and then it turned out to be Hancock.
"Sis!" both of Hancock's sisters transformed into giant snakes and captured Hancock, using themselves as a cushion.
"Thanks." Hancock thought she was going to die for a second. It's a good thing she had reliable sisters.
"Well, it seems that you have some reliable people on your side. However, that won't be enough to spare your life." Linlin looked down on them, she was pissed at them. Anyone who hurts her sister, Saviour or herself will suffer a terrible fate.
Linlin was usually calm and composed, but now she emitted a feeling like she were a death god or something.
The Gorgon sisters immediately began fighting, but found that they hit something, like a wall or something.
"We don't have to resort to violence." Lili activated her perfect cube and trapped the Kuja pirates inside.
Lili was more forgiving than her sister, which is why she rarely ever holds grudges.
Linlin knew that her sister didn't trapped the sisters to protect her, she was protecting the Kuja pirates from Linlin.
"Sis, nothing bad happened to me. So there is no reason to kill anyone." Lili reasoned with her sister.
Linlin let out a sigh. "Okay. But next time they do something like that I won't forgive them."
"Thanks, sis, you're the best." Lili smiled, but Linlin just rolled her eyes at her. Lili can sometimes be manipulative.
Lili deactivated her perfect cube, but she still wanted answers.
"Why did you attack us?" Linlin asked harshly.
"Because-" the gorgon sisters were about to say something to excuse Hancock from this, but Hancock suddenly added.
"It's my fault. I led them all here blindly. They were just following my orders." Hancock said, a bit afraid of Linlin.
"That still does not answer my question."
Boa took a second before saying "I attacked you because I am afraid you will take the man I love!" She said whole heartedly.
Honestly, she could care less about her title as the most beautiful, but she believes this title will somehow make Luffy fall in love with her.
It was mostly about not being able to handle the shame of her title being taken and Luffy finding out about it.
"What?" Linlin did not understand her.
"I was afraid that your power and beauty will make the man I love… might fall in love with you two. I cannot bear to see that."
"Oh…" Linlin and Lili said.
"What's your name?" Lili asked.
"Y-you don't know who I am?" Hancock couldn't believe it. Unless one was blind and deaf, then anyone should have at least heard of her, whether it was her title of being the most beautiful woman, a warlord, they should at least seen her face somewhere.
"It's Boa Hancock."
"Never heard of you." Linlin added. Alex didn't think it was important to mention some stuff to the sisters, maybe he did, or maybe he didn't.
"Listen, Hancock. If this man really loves you, then he will love you no matter what. Love isn't something that can change like the wind, it's something that two people write in stone with their own blood, heart and soul. If he really loves you, then you shouldn't worry about him and trust him with all your heart." Lili said something very beautiful to Hancock.
Linlin smiled. That phrase sounded too familiar.
'Why are you using mom's words on her?' Linlin asked through telepathy.
'Why not? It's one of the few things I remember about her.'
(Just to clarify some things, that phrase was never mentioned in the light novel. It's just something I came up with on a whim.)
Hancock shed a few tears. To think she viewed Luffy as someone who is unfaithful, even though Luffy NEVER shown or hinted any type of emotion towards her.
"I'm sorry for attacking you earlier, your words make a lot of sense."
"It's good. No one got hurt here."
The Kuja pirates breathed out a sigh of relief. It felt that they dodged a bullet there.
"I know I shouldn't ask this, but do you two have a man you love?" Hancock asked.
Lili and Linlin looked at each other, before nodding with a hint of blush on their cheeks. It's clear who it was.
"They must be lucky to have you guys."
"Actually, we like the same guy." Lili added.
"Oh." Hancock did not expect that. Who is that man that can have such two strong and beautiful girls as his girlfriends.
"And also, he is not our boyfriend. We like him but he doesn't view us as his lovers or anything like that." Lili started to reveal some personal stuff.
"Really?! He reminds me of the man I love. I love him with all my heart, but I feel that he doesn't love me." Hancock said making a cute pose.
"That's because he doesn't." The elderly woman roasted Hancock.
"SHUT UP!" Hancock kicked the old lady and sent her flying to the ocean.
"Wait, there is another person like Saviour who isn't lustful towards woman?" Lili said in shock. If she didn't know any better she would think that they were talking about the same person.
"Indeed, it's weird. But, that is one of the many reasons I fell in love with him."
"Us too. We wouldn't have followed Saviour for so long if he weren't the man he was." Linlin said, it's rare for them to have a chat like this.
"Who is the man that you love called?"
"Monkey D. Luffy. What about the man you two love?"
"Alexander Anderson. But, we call him Saviour." Linlin and Lili said in unison.
"Saviour? Did he save you two?"
"He did. It all started when I was trapped in an ice block for many years…" After that, the trio of girls began having a very long chat.
The Kuja pirates just sat there. It was five minutes ago that Hancock wanted to teach those two a lesson, then 2 minutes ago they thought they were going to die, and 20 seconds ago they became best friends.
While that was happening, Alexander broke into many small marine bases and several pirate bases as well.
He found many interesting books, mostly about haki, maps, sword art and devil fruits.
Surprisingly, he compiled a new art in library of heaven's path.
Heaven's devil fruit path.
He had found over 1000 books related to devil fruits, and he made a complete book with no flaws on it.
Devil fruits had a few weaknesses, such as ocean water, haki and so one. But, with the Heaven's devil fruit path he can correct those flaws.
"A devil fruit without a flaw. Neat." Alex smiled, this system is too OP. (Ya think?!)
And also, after finding and copying several haki related books, he finally perfected that art.
He cladded his fist in haki, which was easy. According to the Library of Heaven's path, haki can give one a defensive and offensive boost when they use it.
But, with Alex, he can do more than just that. He can conjure weapons out of thin air made out of pure haki. Even his own haki was stronger and better than most haki users out there.
Next was his observation haki. His senses has increased by many folds. He could even see a bit of the future, even further than Katakuri could.
And finally, was his conqueror's haki. There is no need to mention this one, as his will is so strong that can even affect Shanks severely.
Alex's three types of haki was perfect. Now his strength has increased many fold, and there was still room for development.
"What to do now? System, you mentioned that I won a new system, right?"
{The Avatar the last airbender system.}
"What kind of abilities can I buy?"
{There is really not much, it's actually one of the few rare shops that doesn't have many things}
{Fire bending N/A}
{Water bending 300,000 SP}
{Earth bending 300,000 SP}
{Air bending 300,000 SO}
{Avatar state 5,000,000 SP. Also required to master all four elements before purchasing.}
{Since you already have the Sunshine V2 there is no point to master fire bending.}
"That's hella expensive. Almost 6,000,000 SP. Do you have any way for me to get some SP quick?"
{Yes, there happened to be a few missions that can give you what you want}
"Show me."
{Find the One Piece 10,000,000}
{...}
Blue screen showed various missions, but the one that stood out the most was the One Piece.
"I'll get right on it! Looks like I will have to make a trip to Zou, big mom, and Kaido… who is dead… and his entire island sunk to the bottom of the ocean… along with the road Ponyglyph… FUUUUUUUUU-"
-Back with Madara.
He was just chilling on the middle of the ocean on a raft he built. He was practicing his ninjutsus and haki skills.
Before they left the Naruto world, Alex told Madara something in secret. What he said was 'Madara, the power you once wielded when you owned the ten-tails is still inside you, it's just lying dormant. I can help you a bit by altering your body, but you will need to find it yourself. After you manage to do that, you will gain the power of god that you once had.'
He had been thinking about this ever since they left. When he searched inside his body, there was a hint of the ten tails chakra in Madara's body, but it was small.
Fighting Kaido and learning to control haki did help his ten tails chakra, but only a little bit. Until he can gain that power back, he won't rest until he gains control of it again.
That is why he is in the middle of the ocean, away from all possible distractions.
Until his raft hit something. Madara was too busy learning to control the ten tails power to notice anything,
He hit a small boat. On the small boat, was 2 kids barely alive, a boy and a girl no older than 10 years old. They were covered in a white sheet which was covered in blood, it was hard to say if it was the kid's blood on the white sheet.
The kid's lives were hanging by a thread.
Madara was ruthless and spared no one, not even children. Even Obito and Itachi had killed numerous children from the Uchiha clan when they massacred them.
He was about to push the small boat away, until he heard the boy say in a soft and small voice "Safe… my… sister… please…"
Even with the kid's life hanging by a hair, he still found the will to say something to Madara, and it was all a selfless act.
The kid barely had the strength to open up his eyelids to see anything, but he somehow was able to sense Madara.
Madara looked at the kid for a moment.
"I can only help one of you. One of you will die but the other one will live. If you save your sister, you will die."
The kid heard Madara. He barely opened his eyelid to see Madara. He could not see well with his vision blurred by his blood and the sun hitting his eyes.
He grabbed his sisters hand and pulled her to Madara.
"Save… her…"
Madara was weirded out. A kid, who is no older than 10 years old, would rather sacrifice his own life to save another's. Even kid's who aren't even Genin yet would not be that selfless.
(This is true, as we can see that the one time Kakashi failed his first team. And also there were kids on many occasions were were just plain assholes to Naruto, even his own classmates, who were 12 years old at the time.)
Madara has seen war, and he has seen betrayals even among the best of friends or the closest of families.
Greed, power, love, they all lead to betrayal.
But a kid, has shown to him more loyalty than anybody else Madara has ever seen, except that time with Hashirama and Naruto.
It is said that those who are near death show their true colours. And he was right.
Madara grabbed a kunai from his pocket and stabbed his own wrist. He led his blood enter the kid's mouth.
According to what he knew about his immortality, even his blood can cure others if they drink it, like a cure to everything.
(This was proven when Ban was giving his life force to the Sacred Tree and at one instance even to King)
Once the blood entered their mouths, their wounds and cuts were healed. They even gained the strength to stand up.
The boy was the first one to get up. He wiped his eyes to see who it was that saved them, and his eyes glittered.
"Are you an angel?" he asked.
"..." Madara. He was anything but an angel, more like an angel of death, or a ninja of death.
-Back with the sisters and Hancock.
Literally after spending hours and hours talking, Hancock and the twins had become best friends.
Hancock invited said sisters to her island. Since the twins were girls nobody was against them joining their island of women only, it was not like they could stop them if they could.
Linlin at first started this chat to know about the world, but she never would have thought that Hancock and her would have 'some' things in common.
Tragic backstory, complicated love story, siblings, power… wow, they do actually have a lot in common.
(I literally just realized this after typing it)
Inside of Hancock's room, things turned a bit eerie. Hancock wanted to know about the sisters past, and they had a bad backstory.
The sisters mentioned everything up till Alexander saved them, it was not a bad story, it was just tragic. (Could not come up with a backstory for them, so I'll just add it later in the story, mostly when they return back to their home)
Hancock felt bad for them, it reminded her of her shameful past.
That was when Hancock felt confident enough to tell them her past, even showing them the symbol that they hate so much imprinted on their backs.
The sisters hatred for the Celestials was immeasurable. They knew this world had slavery, but for it to be this bad.
"Hancock, it's just a scar, Saviour can remove it." Lili said after seeing the scar on Hancock's back.
"He can?" Hancock what startled. A scar cannot be removed, which she knows because she has tried numerous times to remove the scar, but to no avail.
"I'll ask him." Linlin sensed where Alex was, and she flew at the speed of light to his direction.
It didn't even take a minute for her to reach his location.
"Saviour I need… what are you doing?"
Alexander was currently searching the sea for the road poneglyph under the sea. Thanks to Madara, he only made it more troublesome for Alexander to find the One Piece.
"Nothing, Linlin. Did you need something?" Alexander asked. Even after diving for hours he is nowhere close to finding that poneglyph.
"Sorry to bother you, Saviour, but can you lend me 3 droplets of life, please?" Linlin asked.
"Sure." he got three cups from god knows where, and poured a golden drop in each of the cups. A droplet of life can life forever inside a glass bottle, as long as one doesn't mix it with other liquids it should be fine.
"Thank you, Saviour." She bowed to him earnestly and left in a flash.
"Now… back to finding that damn thing." Alex dived once again to the bottom of the ocean.
Linlin could not use her immortal blood to cure Hancock's scar. Because even Ban could not fix a certain scar that was left by Meliodas.
Just to be sure, she asked a few droplets of life from Alexander, which can even cure any type of scar.
She arrived at Hancock's room.
"Here." Linlin made sure the droplet touched Hancock's hand, it did not matter where the droplet touched her as it could heal anything and everything.
Hancock felt a tingly sensation on her back. It lasted a short period of time before it stopped. She ran to the nearest window and saw that her hideous scar was nowhere to be seen on her bare back. It was like it was never even there.
"Please, can you also get rid of that cursed scar from my sisters as well?" She said with puppy eyes, she was just too happy and words alone could not express her joy.
"Of course." Linlin smiled and proceeded to do the same with the Gorgon sisters.
