Chapter 74: Chapter 74



"Hmm... Where am I? What happened to me?"

The twelve-year-old Boa Hancock slowly woke up in an unfamiliar bed.

After a brief moment of confusion, her memories came flooding back.

She immediately recalled how she and her younger sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold, had been playing near the ship's bow when they were suddenly kidnapped by a group of pirates!

She quickly glanced to either side of the bed and saw her sisters still deep in slumber.

It seemed her greater strength and potential had allowed her to wake up earlier.

But now... what should she do?

Though Hancock had been raised as the future empress, at the end of the day, she was still just a twelve-year-old girl.

She had neither the ability nor the experience to handle such a crisis.

Just then, the door creaked open.

"Oh, you're already awake."

A man dressed in a Marine uniform walked in.

His platinum blond hair swayed slightly with the motion of the door, casting a faint, almost tangible Holy light.

"Ma-Marines?!"

Before Hancock could fully process the situation, two women rushed in from outside.

"Thank goodness! Hancock, it's such a relief that you're all safe!"

"Mhm, try not to get captured by pirates again, alright? For a future empress, that's not exactly a good look."

Hancock stared blankly at the two beautiful women before her, unsure who they were, how they knew her, or why they cared so much about her safety.

"Who... are you?"

That single question from Hancock froze Gloriosa and Shakky in place.

This was precisely the hardest question for them to answer.

After all, according to Amazon Lily's records, Shakky, the former empress, had already passed away from illness.

As for Gloriosa, while she was only recorded as "missing," her current involvement with the Cross Guild made it even more impossible for her to reveal her true identity.

"Let me handle this one" Michael said, stepping forward as he noticed their awkward predicament.

"They were both once residents of Amazon Lily. They just never returned after setting out to sea and instead settled elsewhere."

Hancock immediately believed Michael's explanation.

This was actually quite common in Amazon Lily.

Typically, citizens who settled outside the island would send their daughters back to be raised there.

It was also the reason Amazon Lily's population could remain at a healthy level.

"But what exactly happened to me...?"

"Hmm? The sedatives must have been too strong, so your memory isn't fully intact?" Michael raised an eyebrow, then casually waved his hand.

Three beams of light suddenly manifested and poured over Hancock and her sisters.

Holy Healing Art—an ability Michael had unlocked over the past two years while developing his Devil Fruit powers.

It could instantly heal certain physical injuries and had a remarkable effect on calming the mind and soothing emotions.

It worked far faster than directly using Holy light and most importantly, it didn't require physical contact to channel the light.

Under the effects of the Holy Healing Art, not only did Hancock's mind clear completely, but the two little girls, Sandersonia and Marigold, also gradually woke up.

At this moment, the two little girls still had their adorable appearances, clearly showing they would grow into beauties second only to Hancock in the future.

After all, they hadn't yet transform into their burly figures seen in the original story.

Watching the three Boa sisters embrace and weep, a faint smile appeared on Michael's lips.

For the past two years, Michael had been searching for a proper opportunity to intervene in Amazon Lily.

Since the goal was peaceful recruitment, he couldn't forcefully breach the nation's gates with violence—how would that be any different from the World Government?

Thus, if he wanted to achieve his goal through gentle means, he had to pin his hopes on the Boa sisters' kidnapping incident, he only know roughly the year they're kidnap but not the exact time or location.

But starting today, he realized that as a transmigrator, all events would inevitably drawn towards him.

This kind of shit… Could simply be called "trouble magnet."

The SWORD Secret Special Forces sweeping through random enemies on the road could even "drop" the Boa sisters as loot.

This also resolved a minor dilemma for Michael.

Without the Boa sisters, Michael had been prepared to pretend to be an amnesiac man and "drift" to Amazon Lily, forcibly unlocking a new map.

So, without delay, Michael brought them to Sabaody Archipelago and handed them over to Shakky.

As the Boa sisters' sobs gradually subsided, Michael finally spoke again.

"Let's go. I'll take you back to Amazon Lily."

"Y-you… aren't arresting us? We're members of the Kuja Pirates."

"Hmm, how should I put it?" Michael stroked his chin, then suddenly flashed a mischievous grin.

"Not yet~"

"Y-you! What do you mean by that?!" Hancock instantly bristled like a startled kitten.

Her bared teeth and aggressive stance only made her look adorable—her "attack posture" seemed more like she was playfully pouting at Michael.

At this moment, Michael understood more clearly: without strength, every action just came off as cute.

"Alright Michael, stop teasing the kids. Let's hurry up and move out!"

Gloriosa said this as she headed for the door, but Michael yanked her back.

"You actually want to return to Amazon Lily? Do you want the entire island to be marked by the World Government?" Michael's words instantly crushed all the impatience in Gloriosa heart.

"Don't forget, this is the price you must pay… Until the World Government is completely destroyed, you cannot return to Amazon Lily."

"Michael's right. This time, let me handle it." Shakky lit a cigarette, took a slow drag and exhaled leisurely.

"Tell that old man Rayleigh to get his ass over here and watch the shop for me."

With that, she walked out the door.

Hancock glanced at Michael, then at Gloriosa darkened expression.

Though she didn't fully grasp the situation, she still hurriedly follow after Shakky.

As fellow Amazon Lily natives, they were surely more trustworthy than this Marine, right?

Meanwhile, Sandersonia and Marigold clung tightly to their older sister's side.

"…Michael, is that goal something I can achieve in my lifetime?"

"Just do what you're supposed to. Leave the rest to me."

Michael turned and walked away, leaving Gloriosa alone.

"I'll show you a world where everyone can live happily."
