"When ......"

"When ......"

In the Nine Snake City, when the women of the Amazon Lily heard the bell, they all raised their heads and looked silently at the place where the palace was.

At the foot of the city wall, Bonnie, who was cornered, saw the winged green woman suddenly stop.

Sandasonia looked in the direction where the next bell came from and said sadly, "It's my sister...... It seems that Sergehime-sama has left. Mary, go pick two tulips in the flower garden. ”

Mary Grude, who was not far away, nodded and said seriously: "Pick three." Bring one for my sister too. ”

"When ......"

"When ......"

The bells rang one after the other, slowly dissipating into the sky.

The surface of the ancient bell has left one overlapping palm print after another.

Hancock walked to the cave window of the bell tower and saw more and more Nine Snake Women on the ground outside temporarily putting down their work and slowly gathering in this direction.

The sad atmosphere slowly spread, and Hancock looked up with a blank face, and a figure in the distance jumped high and landed at the top of the city wall, and the sky was also looking at this side.

………………

In the palace, ministers, maids, protectors, and members of the pirates...... More and more Nine Snake Women came, and when they saw that they were tidy and tidy, they even wore light makeup, although their faces were a little thin and haggard, but when they closed their eyes, they seemed to be sleeping snake queens. This is her last appearance. Several female ministers wiped away tears, sniffed, and checked their heartbeats, and although they were sad and reluctant, they officially confirmed the death of Snake Ji to the rest of the people.

All the people of the Nine Snakes are warriors. But the fighters also had moments of tears.

In the main hall, there were nine snake female warriors who looked at the body of the snake queen and wept silently.

Lynch also came, standing at the edge of the crowd. Although the nine snake women have different body shapes, tall ones such as Eflandra, who has giant blood, are probably more than ten meters tall, but most of them are actually still within the range of ordinary people, one meter eight and one meter nine. Even if Lynch's two-meter-three height stood on the edge, he could clearly see the body of the snake tulip surrounded by flowers.

Robin saw him and leaned over quietly. Lynch reached over and crossed his fingers and shook her hand as a sign of comfort.

"So...... According to tradition," the gray-haired female minister announced in a hoarse voice with red eyes, "after the death of the snake queen, a new generation of snake queen will succeed him as emperor of the Amazon lily." ”

If according to tradition, then whenever the snake queen dies, at this moment when the whole country is grieving, it will also start a big competition, survival of the fittest, compete for the strongest warrior of the new generation, and shoulder the name of the snake queen.

However, the strongest warrior of this generation, everyone knows it, there is no objection, and he has also gone through the process long before the Tulip Snake Ji died, and it is determined that it is Hancock.

Hancock stood alone beside the body of the snake queen, and said expressionlessly, "Let's prepare for the funeral." ”

"Yes......" The women in the hall replied, bowing their heads one by one.

………………

On the outskirts, a new tomb with the name of a tulip written on it.

All the Nine Snakes came to the funeral.

The isolated island is full of simple women. Seeing the death of the snake queen, they all couldn't hide their sadness and shed tears.

The body of the snake queen was gently lowered into the pit.

In front of the monument, one after another nine snake women passed by, and after silent mourning, they offered a tulip flower.

"Snake Hime-sama." Sandasonia sighed softly, and together with her sister, she placed three freshly picked white tulip flowers in front of a monument full of various tulips.

She patted Mary Grude, who was red-eyed from crying, on the shoulder and retreated with her into the crowd.

Rustle rustle......

Robin, as the princess of the Nine Snakes, stands at the front with the new snake queen Hancock, watching the protector Cosmus and a member of the pirates push the dirt back into the pit one by one, burying the wooden coffin bit by bit.

At the edge of the crowd, Bonnie slipped away, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to escape from the place.

But suddenly I heard the man's voice: "I advise you to calm down, Hancock is in a very bad mood now, if you run away now and are caught by her, have you thought about the consequences?" ”

Bonnie's chest heaved, she took a deep breath, her fists clenched and loosened, and she looked back angrily.

But the nasty guy named Giorno didn't look at her much, but looked at the tulips piled up in front of the tombstone from afar.

"I can't see it, you also have feelings for that snake queen?" There was a hint of sarcasm in Bonnie's tone, but it was a pity that Giorno didn't pay attention to her.

Lynch saw that the female ministers took out a few bags and walked to the crowd. The women of the Nine Snakes reached into their pockets one after another, took out something and held it in their palms.

"What's that?" Bonnie was confused.

"It's a seed." Sandasonia and Mari Grud also reached for a bag from a minister, and they came to Lynch's side, where Mari Grude opened her palm, and a few seeds lay quietly in her palm. "It's all snow fruit flower seeds, everyone took the seeds and went back to plant them."

Lynch said, "Snow Fruit Flower...... This is the name of the flower from which Hancock's name comes from. ”

"Hmm." Mary nodded.

Bonnie was surprised, "You still have such a tradition! Could it be that she was ...... back then? When she ascended the throne, did you receive the seeds of tulip flowers? ”

"Hmm." Sanda nodded, "It should be." ”

Bonnie muttered, "No wonder you picked so many different tulips at once......

Lynch looked at Serpent's tombstone for a moment, and said to Sanda, "I'll leave first." ”

Nodding, Lynch turned to leave, and at his speed, almost with a "swish", he was gone.

There was a sad atmosphere in the crowd. Han Cook in front of the tomb raised his head slightly, turned to look at Xu Lun.

Hancock muttered to himself, "What a sharp fellow! ”

She turned and walked away, but the crowd stopped her in amazement. Hancock scolded, "What are you going to do, do you want to disobey me, the snake princess? Although it was too willful at the funeral, I wanted to ......"

She smiled softly, "You'll forgive me, won't you?" ”

In a fit of obsession, Hancock walked away.

Xu Lun, the princess of the nine snakes, bowed her head silently in front of the tombstone full of various tulips.

At the same time, the palace dormitory was decorated in plain white, and Lynch came here.

Lynch was walking around the dormitory when he suddenly heard Hancock's voice behind him: "Hey! What are you looking for? ”

"Since you're following, you must have guessed what you did." Lynch didn't look back, and continued to touch in the dormitory, and soon, '. . B's voice came from somewhere in the dormitory, and Lynch stepped forward, came to the corner of the side hall, and saw something lying on the ground covered by a sheet, and the pitch-black armor stood aside and pointed to something lying under the sheets.

Wow-'. B』 Lift the sheet at the signal of the main body.

Hancock followed, standing next to Giorno and joining him in seeing the stone statue of the snake tulip peeking out from under the sheets.

In the suburbs, in front of the tombstones piled up with all kinds of tulips, the mourning crowd dispersed one after another, and the ministers came one by one to comfort Princess Xu Lun for her mourning.

Robin stood alone in front of the monument, his fingers moving lightly, letting go of the maintenance of Huahuaguo's ability.

Through the surface of the loose earth, through the lid of the wooden coffin...... In the coffin of the snake tulip, the body of the snake queen crumbled unkemptly, disintegrating into petals that were piled up in the silent wooden coffin.
