Chapter 20 The beginning of love
In the Nine Snakes Island, Hancock, who was brought back by the former Empress Gloriosa, was standing in front of the current Empress at this time, with his head bowed and a look of shame on his face.
"Hancock, do you know how much trouble you've gotten into trouble? Do you know what kind of situation our Nine Snake Island will fall into if this matter is known to the World Government! The Empress said to Hancock, with a hint of anger on her face.
Although the empress has always been very fond of Hancock, for the sake of the future of Nine Snake Island, she should be strict, and when it is time to educate, she will never be soft, after all, strict teachers make high apprentices.
"I know it's wrong, Snake Princess, it won't be ....... anymore," Hancock said seriously, and then hesitated for something, but when he thought of the figure bathed in golden light at that moment, his eyes immediately became determined.
"Snake Hime-sama, please ask me to cultivate! I want to be strong! I don't want the people of Nine Snake Island to be captured by the abominable Celestial Dragons like me in the future, I want to become stronger quickly and better protect Nine Snake Island! ”
"Hancock...... You, hey~ I'm really happy that you can have this kind of awareness, I didn't expect this catastrophe to allow you to have such a big growth, okay, from tomorrow, I will teach you to cultivate, say in advance, I'm very strict. The empress looked at Hancock with satisfaction, and then said sternly.
After seeing the empress agree, Hancock felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart. Immediately bowed deeply to the empress: "Thank you, Lord Snake Queen!" And he scurried back to the palace.
At this time, the former empress, Gu Luoliosa watched this scene from the side, and the corners of her mouth twitched wildly. If she hadn't seen that scene before, she would definitely think that Hancock was really thinking about the people of Nine Snake Island. At the thought of that scene, Gloriosa's face began to turn strange, and finally left with only a sigh.
Half a month ago, Meliodas and Hancock, as well as Reilly and the others, had just returned to the Chambord Islands when they saw the pirate ship of the Nine Snake Pirates docked at the port of Island 13.
A diminutive figure jumped off the deck of the ship and ran straight for Hancock. Seeing this scene, Reilly also smiled and waved hello to the short figure.
"Gloriosa, it's been a long time, hahahaha!"
Gloriosa circled around the three Hancock sisters worriedly, as if they were a little injured. After reading it carefully several times, he responded to Reilly.
"It's been a long time, Rayleigh, thanks to you this time, otherwise the empress would have been worried about death. I owe you a favor this time. ”
"Hahahaha! All right. If there's anything to do in the future, I'll leave it to you. Reilly said with a smile.
Guroriosa nodded in acquiescence, and then reprimanded Hancock, "Why did you sneak out, do you know how worried Snake Queen is?" As the next empress of Nine Snake Island in the future, you have to take the lead, if you start to have no rules, what about the rest of Nine Snake Island in the future? Fleeing the island en masse? I want you to reflect on it. ”
"Mother-in-law, I know it's wrong." Hancock's eyes welled up with tears in the eyes of Gloriosa as if he were about to burst out. Then he bowed his head and apologized in shame, the emotions in his heart could no longer be bearable, and finally, a jewel-like crystal clear tear slowly fell down the corner of his eye.
And at this moment, a hand held the teardrop that was about to fall to the ground.
"Little Han Cook, it won't look good if you cry~ Come and laugh." Meliodas reassured, then grimaced at Hancock.
"Poof~" Hancock was amused by Meliodas's antics and couldn't hold back for a moment, and laughed, even if the smile was described as a closed moon shy flower, it couldn't describe that kind of amazement.
"That's a lot better, isn't it?" Meliodas looked at Hancock at this time, and smiled heartily, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: how long ago was the last real laugh. Although I can't remember exactly, I can still feel the distance of the years.
Afterwards, Reilly told Gloriosa about the incident. Including how Meliodas killed the admiral in seconds, it is explained clearly. She was shocked to hear it.
Gloriosa looked at Meliodas and then at Hancock, but silently sighed in his heart: The woman is not staying~!
"Alright, Hancock, let's go, it's time to go back after being away for so long, Snake Queen is still thinking about you." Looking at the darkening sky, he said to Hancock. He took the three Hancock sisters aboard the boat, and Hancock said hello to Reilly and Meliodas, and left with tears in his eyes.
Back to the present, Hancock is happily thinking: When I get stronger, I can help Lord Meliodas, and then we can always be together, ah~ I'm so excited!
The more Hancock thought about it, the more his face blushed, the young Hancock didn't know what was wrong with him, and he didn't know anything about the feelings between men and women.
At this moment, a seagull carrying a newspaper streaked through the sky, and a bounty was ensued.
Hancock caught the bounty order that fell from the sky, looked at the people above, his entire pupils almost turned into a heart shape, and looked at the sky-high bounty. Hancock not only didn't worry, but the meaning of worship was even better, and his eyes also revealed many emotions different from worship, and it was impossible for Hancock to figure it out at this time.
What Hancock and Meliodas don't know is that the bounty hunter guilds around the world have gone crazy, and everyone is desperately trying to find Meliodas's traces, almost turning several islands upside down.
When everyone was anxious, a dragon bounty hunter with a mace suddenly rushed in and said.
"Found it! I found it! In the Chambord Islands! I saw it with my own eyes with a few brothers! ”
Hearing this, everyone boiled and began to fight each other, just to grab such a place that could kill Meliodas and seize the bounty. The battle lasted for three full hours, and was eventually won by a bounty hunter named Haojie, armed with two steel pipes, who was very famous in the area, known as the "Pirate Corpse Crusher", known for his cruelty in killing pirates.
