Chapter 205: God-like plan!
"Kishishishi! I guess even the strongest swordman can't escape from the World Government and be obedient to follow their wishes, huh, Mihawk?"
"Aren't you the same, Moria?"
"Kishishishi." Gecko Moria, a large man with a demonic-like feature, only laughed, but didn't continue to provoke this man, as he knew well that he wasn't Mihawk's opponent.
Dracule Mihawk.
While there were seven of the Seven Warlords of the Seas, without a doubt, Mihawk was the strongest.
If it were before, Moria would definitely provoke Mihawk, but now?
"But why are there only the four of us now?"
Mihawk, Moria, Kuma, and Boa Hancock.
As the four of them stood together, walking toward the Mary Geoise, they exuded a pressure that made people tremble.
Yet, without a doubt, even if all of them were frightened, their eyes subconsciously drew toward the most beautiful woman in the world, Boa Hancock.
Unexpectedly, she had decided to come despite how selfish and capricious her personality was.
Mihawk, Moria, and Kuma aside, as they were quite obedient, Hancock was the one who had the most troublesome personality, yet somehow, the three of them didn't feel surprised, especially with how low their numbers had become.
The original seven became four.
Crocodile aside, as he was killed by a newbie, which made the rest of them mock and even look down on him in their hearts, Doflamingo and Jinbe were different.
Doflamingo was caught as he had messed up a country that was part of the World Government, and to erase the blunder of the strongest organization in the world, they had decided to put all the blame on him and put him inside Impel Down.
What about Jinbe?
"Have you heard something, Kuma?" Mihawk asked.
Kuma lightly pushed the frame of his glasses as he was in deep thought for a moment, which made Moria, Mihawk, and even Hancock look in his direction. "I have heard that he refused the call."
"Jinbe was?"
"Yes." Kuma nodded. "If I am not wrong, Jinbe should have a good relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates, so with his personality and the nature of this invitation given by the World Government and the Marines, it isn't surprising for him to refuse."
"So... what happened to him?" Moria asked with a hint of tension.
"Probably on Impel Down? Or he might have been killed secretly..."
The former aside, the latter made all of them feel at a loss and even in crisis. Unlike before, all of them could tell that the World Government and the Marines had changed. It was different from before, where they were unable to fully take care of the ocean due to Roger's declaration, which caused the Golden Age of the Pirates.
Due to Roger, the ocean was full of pirates, and there was no stopping them anymore, so their existence, the Seven Warlords of the Seas, needed to be in balance.
Whether it was Moria, Mihawk, or Hancock, all of them needed the position of the Shichibukai for their own purposes, or simply a peaceful life without being haunted by the Marines.
Yet, it seemed the World Government and the Marines didn't seem to need them anymore and just threw them away like they were trash that could be replaced at any moment.
"How dare they!"
If Jinbe could be caught or killed so easily like this, what about them tomorrow?
"Did they have that confidence after they got that new hero? How ridiculous!"
Yet, while Moria said so, his body shivered as he knew that the young man, who was known as the Kuroyagi, had defeated Kaidou, the terror that had become his nightmare for many decades!
Moria knew how powerful Kaidou was, as all of his men were killed by Kaidou, which turned him into a strange obsession with corpses, so that way, he had no need to feel afraid of losing his partners.
Still, this was also the reason why he readily gave the sword of the national hero of the Wano Country, Shishui, to the World Government when their agent asked, as it would be given to Shinra.
Unlike before, Moria's will had been crushed, and he was no longer the brave man who would aim to become the King of Pirates!
Like the previous Crocodile, Moria was just a loser who hid and devoured the weak to satisfy their ego.
Yet, without a doubt, due to Shinra, the existence of Shichibukai wasn't taken seriously as before. After all, as he had said before, those pirates could be replaced at any moment, and if they weren't obedient, then they could just kill them and replace them with the stronger ones!
The World Government was the strongest organization in the world, the ruler of this world.
As long as they gave some meat, everyone would give their everything to become their dogs!
Regardless, this change made Mihawk, Hancock, and Moria feel anxious and nervous.
As for Kuma?
Kuma was a man who had given his everything to the World Government, so for him, it didn't really matter.
Still, as they arrived on the Mary Geoise, all of a sudden—
"WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN! ALL OF YOU CATCH HER! I WILL MAKE HER MY WIFE!"
All of a sudden, when that disgusting voice echoed, everyone was at a loss, and all the voices disappeared.
"...."
Everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to the source of the voice, then, as expected, they saw a figure that made their faces ugly.
A disgusting man with an astronaut-like outfit laughed lewdly at the direction of Hancock as he wished to make her his wife!
Gulp!
Yet, this strong woman was unexpectedly completely frozen, rooted in place as her heart was full of horror, thinking of her fate when she was caught by this man, whose identity was the Celestial Dragon!
'No!'
Hancock subconsciously turned her eyes in all directions, especially Mihawk, Moria, and Kuma.
As for the agents and the Marines who were by the man's side, she knew that she couldn't depend on them, as they were all followers of the Celestial Dragon.
However, Mihawk, Moria, and Kuma were different as they were on the same side, so Hancock hoped that they would help her, but the three of them quickly looked away and didn't dare to meet her eyes, standing still, as they looked away.
"...you... are you all going to do nothing?"
Hancock looked at the three with shock, anger, and fear.
Moria felt humiliated inside his heart as he did nothing when the Celestial Dragon wanted to make Hancock his wife, but then, as his pride and everything were shattered by Kaidou in the past, he quickly accepted everything. "You are lucky, Boa Hancock. As you will become his wife, you won't have to worry about having to be chased around like us, pirates."
Kuma said nothing and just held his bible tightly.
Meanwhile, compared to Moria, Mihawk's humiliation was higher, as he felt an intense shame, but he did nothing as he wanted to protect his peaceful life. His wish was simple, and that was to live without being haunted, so he didn't care about the rest, including Hancock.
"Moria is right. You should be happy, Boa Hancock."
"...."
Hancock looked at the three in disbelief, but she knew that she could do nothing. Despite being known as the Empress, the one who led her country and was worshipped by many, in front of the Celestial Dragon, she was reduced to a slave who could do nothing but just wish for her plea to be heard.
"Catch her!"
"Yes, Sir!"
"No, I will catch her myself! Now, be my wife!"
The Celestial Dragon was so excited when he saw Hancock, as a certain part of his body was all tense, but as it was too small, it was impossible to notice, and somehow, when he ran, his body exuded a strange smell, and he stopped for a moment before he tried to calm his rough breathing.
"..." Everyone.
Yet, no one laughed; only disgust appeared on their faces, as they didn't dare to show those feelings on their expressions.
"NOW, BE MINE!"
Still, the obsession of the Celestia Dragon became higher, and he wanted to cling to Hancock, dirtying, straining, and marking her as his possession!
'NOOOOOOOOOO!!!'
Hancock, who was in her deepest despair, thought that everything was over, and she knew that there was nothing she could do until a hand grasped the head of the Celestial Dragon and turned this existence that was worshipped as a god into a toy.
"....."
"Eh?"
Like a gentle ray that descended upon her during her darkest moment, the existence that Hancock thought of couldn't be tarnished, but was broken by him.
