Chapter 658 Go Save Him (7000 words)

Hancock woke up from unspeakable sadness, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, and sat up straight.

"Joe—"

She saw the familiar snake-patterned curtain in front of her and turned her head away blankly.

Through the light veil beside the bed, I could see the layout of my bedroom... Is this the Nine Snakes Palace? Am I back?

Is it just a nightmare?

Tears welled up in Hancock's eyes, and the previous scenes flashed through her mind quickly.

“Lynch…”

…

The 20-meter-tall golden Buddha has thousands of golden rays on its head...

A lava giant like hell descending...

A frozen siege hundreds of meters high...

Deadly flash...

Palm force impact...

Thick hot smoke...

A bone-chilling chill...

And the eyes he looked at me with... Why am I so useless! I never knew how to resist his hypnosis? ! "No... don't..." My body walked uncontrollably towards the Den Den Mushi castle in his hand.

I didn't want to hide in there at all. If we were to die, we could die together. Why did you do this to me? ! "You... bastard..." Hypnosis made me feel very sleepy. Before I lost consciousness, I could vaguely hear his voice, "I can't help it, Hancock. You are too charming. I am afraid I can't refuse you..."

What kind of explanation is this?!

Lynch, you bastard...

Before my consciousness finally fell into darkness, I felt the rough touch of a pair of lip prints...

"Be good, go to sleep."

…

The empress's bedroom was quiet, filled with the fragrance of flowers and herbs. Sandasonia was resting at the desk with her chest and back wrapped in bandages. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and vaguely heard low sobs.

"Sister..." She reacted and immediately jumped up and ran to the bed in the bedroom. Through the curtains, she could see a slender figure sitting up on the bed. "Sister! Are you awake?"

Sanda opened the curtains, revealing the empress lying on the bed, and the entire bedroom seemed a lot brighter.

Hancock turned her head away, covered her face with her long hair, and wiped her face.

"Sister..." Sanda sat down on the edge of the bed.

She saw her sister turn her head. Her long hair, which used to be black, shiny and smooth, now looked a little messy. Tear marks could be seen on her once beautiful cheeks, and her face looked a little pale.

There was a gloomy and sad look in Hancock's eyes. She stared at Sanda blankly, her red lips trembling slightly. It seemed that she had something to say, something to ask, something to confirm, but she couldn't open her mouth.

"Sister..." Seeing her usually strong and overbearing sister showing such a weak and helpless look, Sanda felt a pain in her heart, but she still looked at her sister's absent-minded eyes with pain, and said softly: "After Lynch's ghost brought us back to Nine Snakes, you have been in a coma. Princess Robin said that you were hypnotized by Lynch, so you have been in a coma... It has been two days, sister, you finally woke up."

"Two days..."

Hancock muttered to herself, sitting blankly on the bed.

Seeing her sister like this, Sanda wanted to say something but found that she couldn't bear to say even a word of comfort.

Unless Lin Qi stood in front of her again, any words of comfort would only sound harsh to her sister's ears...

After an unknown amount of time, Hancock lifted the soft quilt and her body swayed slightly. Sanda wanted to support her, but she pushed her away.

Hancock, with her black hair draped over her shoulders, sat barefoot on the edge of the bed. She raised her still pale face, but her eyes were completely different from before, revealing a firmness.

"What about her?" Hancock stood up and put on the red coat handed to her by Sanda.

"Who?" Sanda was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, "Princess Robin? The princess..."

Hancock paused barefoot and looked back.

Sanda whispered, "Sister, you have been in a coma for the past two days, and the princess has not eaten or drunk anything, and even doesn't talk to anyone. Her condition is very worrying..."

Hancock bit her lip and said, "Take me to her."

"Sister, you should eat something first..." Sanda advised.

"Take me to her," Hancock repeated.

Her tone was not harsh, but Sanda, who was familiar with her, knew that her sister could not hear anything at this time. She could only sigh and take Hancock to find Robin.

Along the way, they met many national defenders and pirate members... When everyone saw Hancock, they immediately exclaimed.

"Lady Snake is awake!"

"The Empress looks so haggard... My heart is broken!"

The women of the Nine Snakes cried and gave way.

Hancock had a blank expression on her face and turned a deaf ear to the noise. She followed Sanda and soon came to the side hall where Robin was resting in the Nine Snakes Palace.

In the side hall, Robin sat by the open window, staring blankly at the distant sky with a somewhat empty look in his eyes.

Beside her stood a phantom in black armor. She turned her head, her narrow eyes glowing with light, and looked at Hancock and the other two who were walking into the hall.

Marigrude saw her elder and second sisters coming in and asked in surprise, "Sister, are you awake?"

"..." Hancock took the third sister's bandaged arm and took a look. Mary explained, "It's a little burned, but I'm almost healed."

Hancock let go of her hand and went to look at the injury under the bandage on the right shoulder of her second sister next to her.

"Sister..." Sanda was stunned and comforted her, "I applied some herbs, plus the recovery power of the mythical beasts, it's okay."

This is a small matter. My sister must have noticed it the first time she saw me when she woke up, right? "It's all because of me..." Robin, who was standing by the window, looked at the sky and suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse and dry. "I harmed everyone..."

Hancock grabbed the bandage on Sanda's back, then quickly let go when she realized what was happening.

Mary looked at Robin in surprise. In the past two days, the princess seemed to be dead inside and ignored everyone. This was the first time she spoke.

With a click, Sanda felt a drop of warm liquid fall on the bandage on his back and said in surprise: "Sister——"

When she and Mary looked over, Hancock had already turned her head and wiped her face. With red eyes, she walked in front of Robin and "BIB" and bit her lip and said, "No, it's all my fault."

Robin turned around woodenly and saw Hancock's red eyes and haggard face, and his heart ached.

"Those four navy officers were able to ambush that island precisely because our pirate ship had exposed their whereabouts," Hancock said with a trembling voice, blaming herself. "On the way back, I didn't think twice before ordering the Sea Snakes to go straight into the Calm Belt... That's why I foolishly fell into the navy's trap... It's all my fault..."

Robin shook her head slowly and muttered to herself, "If it weren't for me... the Navy wouldn't be able to deal with two Shichibukai like this..."

"BIB" was watching from the side, and then he said: "It's meaningless to say this now, what's important is what happens in the future."

Hancock's eyes were firm, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to save him!"

"..." Robin didn't react to this and just looked at BIB.

The latter said calmly: "I am willing to sacrifice myself to keep you away from danger."

"..." Hancock turned her head and glared at the black armored ghost. Anger appeared in her beautiful eyes along with tears. "But I don't want to!"

“Who agreed to you sacrificing for us on your own initiative?! Have you ever thought about our feelings?!” She gritted her teeth and said, “It’s obvious that we just need to send Sanda and Mary away…” Tears flowed down the empress’s tear-stained cheeks. She looked at the reflection of the man in front of her sadly and said sadly, “Don’t you know… We would rather die with you than see you alone, you…”

Robin's dry eyes turned red, he clenched his hands, lowered his head and said nothing.

"BIB" was silent for a while, and then said: "As for me, I would rather be hated by you, but I also want you to be safe."

"You're talking bullshit!" Hancock wiped her tears and scolded, "I don't want to hear that."

"People who sacrifice themselves are great, and the feeling of being great should be very good." The black armor said faintly, "But people who live with endless self-blame and regret are very pitiful."

"..." Hancock gritted his teeth, "I don't need pity."

"BIB" shook his head, "I mean..."

It glanced at Hancock and Robin, who was crying and looking numb, "If it weren't for me, neither Robin nor Hancock would have to face this desperate situation. If I hadn't been able to protect you two, I would have to live in endless self-blame and regret for the rest of my life... Isn't this pitiful?"

"So you're going to sacrifice yourself without permission?" Hancock's tears kept falling, and she forced a cold smile, "How great."

"You don't want to... hate yourself for the rest of your life..." Robin murmured hoarsely, "We don't want to either..."

"BIB" was speechless. This was a dead end. If he couldn't protect Hancock and Robin, he would blame himself, and he would rather sacrifice himself to send them away, and they would be in pain and regret...

"I don't care." Hancock wiped away her tears and said expressionlessly, "Anyway, I'm going to save you. - Where is your real body now?"

"BIB" looked at her in silence.

"If you don't tell me, I'll go directly to the Navy Headquarters." Hancock said resolutely, "This way, I can see your true form anyway. Isn't that right?"

"Go directly to the Marine Headquarters to ask for someone?" The Stand Armor shook his head, "You are committing suicide."

"Then I'll go to the Undersea Prison!" Hancock gritted her teeth. "Anyway... you dare to do this to me, I can't let you off the hook!"

BIB was silent again. It looked at Hancock's determined eyes, then looked down at Robin who was sitting by the window.

Robin was stunned and murmured, "It's all because of me..."

"Going to the Undersea Prison is also tantamount to suicide." The Stand Armor denied again, "The prison warden Magellan is the user of the Poison-Poison Fruit. His ability seems to have awakened. The venom he produces can infect anything it touches, even the ground and walls... Even Robin's Hua Zizai clone is useless in the face of such poison..."

Hancock interrupted it, "So what? It's not like I care!"

"That kind of extreme poison, if you get even a little bit of it, you will definitely die."

BIB's narrow eyes shone with light, and his tone was extremely serious, "The risk is too great! Hancock... I have managed to protect your safety with great difficulty..."

Looking at Hancock's indifferent and firm eyes, its tone gradually calmed down and it glanced at Robin, "...Robin, what do you think?"

Robin looked up, "What do you want me to think?"

"I don't want you to be in danger... You are doomed now. I want to destroy myself... But I know you will stop me." She said miserably, "Besides, it is better to die in front of the navy than to die in obscurity like this. At least they can know that the dangerous 'Devil's Child' is really gone... If they want to harm the Nine Snakes, they can stop."

Sanda and Mary felt extremely sad when they saw the distraught princess.

Hancock said indifferently: "Anyway, I have made up my mind, don't try to stop me. You can't stop me, and of course you can't stop Robin either."

She glared at the shadow hatefully, "Just like... we couldn't stop you!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Robin stood up weakly, but was pressed down by BIB's hand covered with flames. He sighed silently and said helplessly to Hancock's back: "Even if we have to go to the underwater prison... you should at least rest your body, okay?"

Hancock held onto the stone pillars in the hall and shouted loudly to those outside the hall: "Where are the people? Bring me some food!!!"

Sanda and Mary looked worried, but gradually they became determined and immediately went out to help prepare food.

A relieved smile appeared on Robin's face, which was so pale that it was transparent.

…

"Why aren't we allowed to go with them?!"

Next to the long table in the main hall, which was piled with food, Sanda and Mary were stunned when they heard this. "Sister——"

"No reason. If you don't want to go, then you can't go." Hancock said without even looking up. "Robin and I will go to the prison to rescue people. You two will stay in Nine Snakes."

She devoured a big leg of meat in a very unpresentable manner, but she was still very beautiful. The Nine Snake women who were peeking at her from the window outside the palace couldn't help but sigh one after another...

Robin had no objection to Hancock's decision, and he also devoured the piles of food in front of him at a fairly fast pace.

"BIB" stood not far away, folding his arms and watching them. It didn't need to eat, and it couldn't eat.

Hancock always acted arbitrarily in Nine Snakes, not giving her two sisters any chance to disobey. She turned her head to look at the black armor, her pretty cheeks puffed up by a mouthful of food, and asked, "Can you sense the current location of your original body?"

"It's too far." The narrow eyes on the mask's face shone with a faint light, and it turned its head to look in the direction of the Red Earth Continent. "I only know that it must be in that direction... but it's very far away, and I don't know the exact location."

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

"It's all about the sense!" Hancock continued to work hard with Robin, "When we get closer, we'll be able to sense it more clearly, right..."

Robin said nothing, just ate.

She didn't have a big appetite. She was exhausted both physically and mentally and was on the verge of collapse. What she needed more was quiet rest and recuperation, so she soon left the table to rest.

Hancock ate more attentively. I don't know if she was imitating someone. Tears fell from her eyes while she was eating. She wiped them away and continued eating.

Sanda and Mary sighed and were very worried.

"BIB" silently watched Robin leave and Hancock eat voraciously, with worry hidden in his narrow eyes...

It was not kidding them. Not everyone could break into the underwater prison.

For hundreds of years, only a ruthless person like Golden Lion has successfully escaped from prison by cutting off his own feet. This is just him escaping from the inside out as a prisoner. If you want to sneak into the prison from the outside and escape, the difficulty will rise to another level... There is a high-speed current connecting the underwater prison and the Navy Headquarters. Once the infiltration of the prison is discovered, the Navy Headquarters can send high-level combat forces at any time.

There is no doubt that the moment Kizaru knows that the people who broke into the prison are Nico Robin and Hancock, he will rush there first!

"BIB"'s eyes flashed white as he flipped through the comics of the Grand Prison and the Marineford War... He knew very well that even for a "protagonist" like Luffy, who was destined to be a hero, it was a fluke among flukes to be able to get out of the Grand Prison alive! The biggest reason was that the main combat power of the Navy Headquarters was involved in the Marineford battlefield at the time. Even if Magellan lost face and asked the Navy for help, the Navy had no time to support the Grand Prison.

Secondly, Luffy was able to survive the prison because he was lucky enough to meet the Shemale King Eva, otherwise Luffy would have been poisoned to death by Magellan's invincible toxin hundreds of times...

But at this point in time, is the Shemale King in the prison? "BIB" is not sure about this at all. Not to mention that the comics do not explain the specific year when the Shemale King was arrested and sent to the prison. Even if it is explained, will the Shemale King be arrested again? At least on the side of the Revolutionary Army, especially the Shemale King, the original body has had many dealings with them. God knows what kind of butterfly wings will be flapped... It doesn't need to be big, maybe just cause a butterfly effect, so that the Shemale King will go out a minute later one day, and it is possible to avoid her being caught by the navy!

If the Demon King is not in the prison now, what will happen if Robin, Hancock, or Xiaolu are exposed to Magellan's poison? The same goes for the main body! The main body does not have a physique that is immune to all poisons. No matter how powerful the Swallowing Fruit is, it may not be completely immune to Magellan's terrible poison...

"what's on your mind?"

Hancock's voice interrupted BIB's thoughts and brought him back to reality.

Looking up, it saw her and Robin ready to go.

Two days had passed since they decided to go to the big prison to rescue people.

Over the past two days, Robin tried his best to adjust his condition. His complexion recovered a lot and he refused to delay any further.

Not to mention Hancock, she almost couldn't bear it on the first day, because Robin looked so bad, so she forced herself to endure it again and again.

There were several newspapers from the past two days on the table. The news recorded was the conflict between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates, as well as the follow-up to the previous conflict between the JoJo Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates... There was absolutely no content about the Navy Admiral Sengoku teaming up with the three headquarters vice admirals Monkey, Chicken and Dog to ambush the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Kujo Jolyne, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea Empress...

Obviously, the outside world knows nothing about this matter.

The Navy did not expose the captured Lynch to anyone...

Hancock waved his hand in front of its eyes. "What are you daydreaming about? It's time to set off!"

"BIB" was silent, her eyes slowly moving from the impatient Hancock's face to Robin's face next to her. She held the little green in her hand and stroked it slowly, with a calm face, as if she was ready to accept any outcome.

Sanda and Mary looked sad and helpless.

"Sister, my wound is almost healed," Sanda removed the bandages on his body, leaving only a radial circular scar on the skin behind his shoulder blade. "After a while, there won't even be a scar left. Let me go with you!"

"Me too..." Mary also said, but was interrupted impatiently by Hancock, "I told you not to come with me, so you are not allowed to. Don't you listen to your sister?"

The empress glanced majestically at her two sisters.

Sanda and Mary hung their heads in grievance, tears dripping down their cheeks. They knew, of course, how dangerous the underwater prison was and how there was no way back.

"..." Hancock's expression softened a lot, and he said calmly, "Sanda, Mary."

The two younger sisters raised their heads and wiped their eyes, only to see their eldest sister say, "If I can't come back, you have to organize everyone and choose the next Snake Queen."

"Sister!" Sanda and Mary's tears burst out again.

“Hiss! Hiss!”

Hancock's snake hair popped out and bit Sanda and Mary on the neck as they walked. Their movements suddenly became stiff.

"You will be back in one hour."

Hancock turned away expressionlessly, "That's it."

With a wave of her hand, she strode out of the palace.

"..."Robin walked up to Sanda and Mary, looked at their tears that could not stop flowing, hugged them gently one by one, said nothing, and turned and left.

『BIB』 glanced at the two Boa sisters who were unable to move due to the snake venom and whose faces were covered with tears. Without saying anything, he turned around and followed Robin to the balcony outside the palace. Hancock was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, looking at the scenery in Nine Snakes Castle as usual... The women were working in the fields, fishing by the river, hunting animals in the mountains, standing sentry on the city wall, and practicing Haki and archery in the training ground...

"Let's go." Hancock turned expressionlessly and entered the Den Den Mushi castle in Robin's hand.

Robin smiled at "BIB" and disappeared into thin air.

Xiaolu was slightly startled and fell a few inches, then was held up by a mecha hand covered with flame patterns.

"BIB" glanced at the prosperous and simple Nine Snake City, floated up, identified the direction in the sky, and rushed away following the vague sense of the main body's position.

…

[Inside Den Den Mushi Castle——]

Hancock and Robin walked through the living room, bedroom, study, bathroom that were full of life... Everything they had experienced here was still vivid in their minds, except that the joking and unruly person was missing.

They sat on the sofa, looking at each other in silence.

After a long while, Robin broke the strange silence, "I have a rare moment, do you want to listen?"

"Listen to what?" Hancock asked.

"It's not Jolyne Kujo, nor is it Giovanna Giorno..."

Robin muttered to himself, leaning back on the sofa, looking at the ceiling of the castle that he and Lynch had seen many times while hugging each other on the sofa. "It's the story of Nicole Robin and Lynch, before they met Boa Hancock, and the story after that..."

Hancock didn't say anything, just looked at her. Robin didn't really listen to her answer, and continued to talk: "I was born in O'Hara, West Sea. My mother..."

"The Navy launched a demon-killing order, destroying O'Hara and everyone except me..."

"That day, I met him on Nanga Island... He crawled out from under the garbage dump and saw me saying the first words..."

…

"After returning to his hometown, the Kingdom of Flowers... we learned about his mother's past..."

"Lily..."

Hancock finished Robin's story quietly without saying a word.

Robin didn't remember where she stopped talking. She stood up from the sofa, looked towards the castle gate, and whispered, "Haven't we arrived yet?"

She walked over and said something in surprise, as if she was communicating with "BIB" who was flying with the Castle Den Den Mushi outside.

Hancock came back to her senses, looked towards Robin, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?" She followed him and slowly heard what Robin was saying to "BIB" outside.

"What's wrong?" Hancock wondered, bypassing Robin and jumping out of the castle gate.

BIU, she suddenly appeared high in the sky, and at the moment of falling, she was grabbed by an invisible ghost's hand and supported in the air.

"Where's the big prison? Why can't I see it?"

Hancock looked around and saw no trace of any buildings on the sea, not even an island.

"wrong……"

Her hair fluttered in her face. Hancock's face changed. She stared at the waves around her. "Isn't this a doldrums? You—"

Although she didn't know the exact location of the big prison, she was sure that the place was definitely in the doldrums!

And this sea area clearly has wind, is it the Grand Line? Behind the castle gate, Robin stared at "BIB".

When she leaned out of the castle gate to look just now, it had been maintaining this posture, hovering over the sea for a long time.

Obviously, it was carefully distinguishing where its body was at the moment.

BIB held Hancock in one hand and Den Den Mushi Castle in the other. Its narrow eyes glowed with light as it stared ahead in the direction it was flying in, following its sense of its main body...

Hancock and Robin's expressions changed slightly. Ahead of them was a "shadow" that could be seen with the naked eye stretching across the sea...

Red Earth Continent!

"BIB" murmured: "So that's how it is..."

"What's going on?" Hancock asked in confusion, "Is your real body still imprisoned in the Navy Headquarters?"

"No, the Marine Headquarters is at sea level, but the main body... is now higher up."

"BIB" looked far ahead, his sight slowly sweeping across the top of the red earth continent, and he uttered the name of a place that made Hancock and Robin's faces change drastically at the same time.

"In the holy land of the Celestial Dragons, Marijoa."

…

…

A bloody crack appeared in the dim world... It was Lynch who slowly opened his eyes.

Slowly, Lynch regained consciousness. He looked up and saw something flying before his eyes. It seemed to be a garden or a church? It seemed as if he saw butterflies flying...

I am...

Lynch's blurry vision gradually focused and fixed on the tall, slender, dark figure in front of him.

The other party seemed to be saying something, but Lin Qi couldn't hear it clearly...

The other party stretched out her slender jade hand, pinched his chin and lifted it up, without a trace of emotion in her eyes, and said indifferently: "Where is your substitute?"

Lynch suddenly woke up and stared at the other person's rippling eyes.
