Chapter 243: At Worst, Start Over

Hancock stopped immediately.

She leaned over and looked at the little girl with long green wavy hair in front of her, and said in disbelief: "You are... Sanda?!"

The "little girl" in front of him responded: "It's me, sister."

Hancock felt a little dizzy at the time.

How come my 15-year-old sister, who was only 1.9 meters tall just now, shrunk by half in the blink of an eye and became a girl of a few years old? !

"What just happened?"

Hancock's beautiful eyes immediately focused, her gaze became sharp, and her domineering aura emanated from her almost instinctively!

Of course, her domineering Haki was not aimed at Sanda, but to sweep across the surrounding space on a large scale.

Sanda's body suddenly became smaller. Such a strange thing must be related to the devil fruit! In other words, there is an enemy here.

Sanda said: "I'm not sure... I just ran into an old woman nearby, and she touched me like this. When I came to my senses, I became like this..."

"Old woman?"

Hancock frowned. Sanda's words further confirmed her guess. The man must be a user of some devil fruit ability, and he used his ability to turn Sanda into a younger version of himself.

At this moment, Hancock's observation Haki captured a fleeting figure.

"Over there!"

Hancock's expression darkened and she chased after him without hesitation.

With her long pink hair flying, a beautiful figure flashed in front of the gate, and she hurried out of the palace before Hancock caught up with her.

From far behind, Sanda called out, "Sister..."

Hancock stopped in surprise and looked back.

My younger sister, who was quite strong, actually fell far behind. After she caught up slowly, she looked very tired.

“Hu…Hu…” Sandasonia wiped the sweat off her face while panting. After she realized her physical problem, she was just as shocked as Hancock. She looked at her hands, which had become as soft as a real little girl, with difficulty accepting it. “How…how could this happen to me?”

Touching her face and pinching her body, Sandasonia couldn't believe that in the blink of an eye, her entire body seemed to have returned to her childhood state intact.

Not only his appearance, but his physical strength has also regressed to his childhood state.

Sanda Sonia apologized, "I'm sorry, sister...I've become a burden to you!"

“…”

Hancock was silent.

This is an island where pirates exist. There is no way Hancock would abandon Sander in this state and go chase the escaped guy alone.

However, Hancock was not angry.

She was indeed used to being arrogant.

But this "person" usually refers to someone she doesn't care about. And it just so happens that there are not many people she really cares about.

But her own sister is obviously one of the people Hancock really cares about.

She didn't explain, but just supported her waist with one hand and asked, "See how the devil fruit is doing?"

"Oh, right, my Mythical Beast Fruit!" Sandasonia was reminded by her. With a thought, dense green scales appeared on the edge of her cheeks, and a pair of thin wings immediately spread out from her shoulders. Although the size of the wings also shrunk a lot along with her body, at least the Mythical Beast Fruit was still there, which made people feel relieved. "It's still there..."

It would be too depressing if my devil fruit also disappeared due to the inexplicable changes in my body.

Hancock nodded and said calmly: "In this case, even if we can't find the damn old woman who made you smaller, and ask her to change you back... then the worst case scenario is that you will just have to start all over again, and you will grow up again at this age. It's not a big deal!"

Sandasonia was touched. It was not easy for her elder sister to say such comforting words.

She muttered, "Mary will laugh at me... Then I will be the youngest, right?"

Imagining the scene where her third sister would laugh and lift her up high, Sanda Sonya quickly shook her head, spread the wings of the flying snake, and soared into the air in the palace. With her body becoming so small, she could actually spread her wings indoors. She didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing... However, with Sanda's current physical strength, it was not realistic for her to rely on the power of these wings to catch up with the fleeing person.

And even if she flew up and caught up with him, she would probably just be a dead end.

Hancock reached out and pulled her sister down from the low-flying sky. Grabbing her by the back of the collar, she ran directly out of the palace and stood on a high place, looking down at the desolate and dilapidated royal city below.

"Don't worry, she can't run away."

Where in the world are there so many flying abilities? Hancock didn't think that the other party had the ability to fly while having the strange ability to make people smaller.

In that case, Hancock will not let her go as long as she is on this island!

Carrying Sandasonia, Hancock jumped down from the palace.

………………

In the dilapidated and desolate alley of the royal city, the woman with long pink hair looked back in the direction of the high palace and was immediately startled.

Seeing that tall figure holding a little girl actually jumped down like that, it was obvious that she was chasing after her... Bonnie murmured, "It's so beautiful... Bah! Damn it, it's so troublesome, and she's still chasing after me? In this case..."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

She adjusted the brim of her hat and quietly slipped out of the city.

………………

[The suburbs covered with weeds——]

The 28-year-old man didn't seem to believe that Lynch and Robin were pirates.

Just now he suddenly jumped out to attack. These two people had overwhelming strength advantage, but they only stopped at a certain point and did not do anything excessive, which made him believe that these two people were not bad people.

"Bang!"

Hearing this, Lin Qi punched the 28-year-old man in front of him on the head and blew on his smoking fist, "How about this?"

"It hurts so much..." The old man was knocked to the ground, a big bump appeared on his head, and tears were streaming down his face.

Robin looked at Lynch, "We don't have to prove that we are pirates, right?"

Lin Qi said: "Yeah, but I always felt that this guy deserved a beating, so I beat him up."

The old man covered his head and complained: "This is too casual! It's too much... Well, anyway, you are not bad people who want to harm this country. I already understand this."

"Although I am very upset by your evaluation of me, I can't find any reason to refute it." Lin Qi nodded, "Then, what do you want to do?"

The 28-year-old old man showed his determination, "I will drive all the pirates out of this country!"

He looked in the other direction.

Robin recognized that this was the direction she and Lynch were heading to. This was where Lynch's observation Haki had detected the Ice Pirates' entrenched position.

"Say no? You'll get killed."

Lynch gave a perfunctory piece of advice.

The old man bowed his head and clenched his fists, saying in a deep voice: "I have something I must protect... This country, and there are people who are worth waiting for..."

He talked to himself for a long time with tears in his eyes, but there was no response from anyone around him.

The old man looked up and saw that the young man and the beautiful girl had already left side by side, walking and talking for a long distance. The direction they were heading was exactly the place he would protect even if he died.

"Hey! Don't ignore me!"

The old man jumped up and down and hurriedly followed.

When he ran to catch up with Lynch and Robin, the old man panted slightly, looked at the two of them, and suddenly said, "Young men, how about I tell you a story?"

"You are twenty-eight, and you call me a young man?" Lin Qi was dissatisfied.

Robin thought, aren't you only sixteen years old? "A long time ago, there was a young prince on this island. He was born noble, but he practiced self-cultivation and cared about the lives of the people at a very young age..." The old man seemed not to hear Lin Qi's complaints and continued to tell the story.
