The Dark Knight

Tak! Clack! Clack!

The footsteps were light, but in the dead silence, they were particularly noticeable.

"Who, who's there?" The leader of the pirates shivered and asked with a trembling voice in his mouth.

Not that he did not want to run, purely weak feet can not run!

"A few more ..." Apophis stepped out from the darkroom, his voice unmistakably indifferent beneath his mask, "Death-defying?"

"We were just passing by, just passing by!" The leader of the pirates let out a scream and rolled towards the outside.

Although the other side does not know how powerful it is, the masked man's compulsion is too high, and it does not look like a right mess!

"So handsome! So handsome!" The little beggar's eyes shone with red hearts, having forgotten the existence of the group of pirates completely.

Hiss! Hiss!

A few fingertips flicked, and several sword strokes directly tore those fleeing pirates apart.

See Apophis's gaze cast; the little beggar eagerly said, "Swordsman-sama never look at my face, ... ah, huh?"

Apophis calm as water pupils slightly rippled, " that kid wearing a mask yesterday is Boa Hancock? It was an oversight on my part."

"Apophis-sama is strong, and can ignore my ability!" Hancock is not too long after eating the fruit, unable to collect their charm.

"You're not afraid of me?"

"Ahhhhh! Apophis-sama is talking to me!" Hancock exclaimed in excitement before looking at him with adoration and saying, "Of course I'm not afraid, you're as good as anyone in the world, Apophis-sama."

A good man? Are you afraid that you have some misunderstanding about me, Apophis?

Apophis took two steps forward and put his right hand on Hancock's smooth forehead, and soon, he was able to get a clear picture of Hancock's mental history.

Even Apophis himself did not expect his reputation for cruelty and tyranny to be quite popular among slaves, a vulnerable group.

In particular, his violence methods have made those poor people who suffered from the destruction and persecution of slave owners worship him as a god in the darkness.

As for Boa Hancock, there is one more to add: he once killed the big man in CP0.

Now, perhaps, you can also add the bargaining chip called "Hero Save Girl ".

"Ah! Apophis-sama touched me; he must like me, is this a code word for marriage?" Hancock eyes intoxicated, the body fell limp into the arms of Apophis, "but I'm not developed enough, and I can not cook, not to mention laundry, this will certainly be disliked by Apophis-sama."

"Maybe, I will be abandoned by Apophis-sama, or, Apophis-sama will not love our children." Just for a moment, Hancock has already made up her scene from a romantic drama to a bitter drama in her head.

Apophis' fingers slid down Hancock's back.

Crack!

"My handcuffs are broken!" At this moment, the love drama in Hancock's head once again prevailed, "Apophis-sama even took the initiative to release my handcuffs, he does love me!"

"What wedding dress is better to choose for the wedding? What is a better name for the future child?"

Apophis pupil depths ripples, judging a person, he will always start from the value side.

Does Hancock have value?

Naturally, there is.

Not to mention her future powerful strength and the power of the Kuja Pirates, just her unwavering "loyalty" is enough for him to make a choice.

Besides, Hancock's identity for his current operation may also be of little help.

"The name Shakky means peony, and the name of those on the Island of Women is very similar, and, from memory, how Elder Nyon addressed her is exactly the tone of the elder to the descendant."

"Again from Rayleigh to rescue Hancock trio who have no semblance of a relationship with him ..."

Apophis dispersed his thoughts, "the woman who claimed to have been a pirate forty years ago, whether from Kuja or not, must have a fairly strong connection with the Island of Woman."

"That way, I might be able to drag Rayleigh down without having to do it the hard way! That way, I can also further let go of some of my suspicions and verify some of them!"

"You are, a slave of the Celestial Dragons, right?" Apophis did not have any thoughts of pity, but directly used the simplest and most brutal way to subdue this future empress completely. She had zero difficulties in taking advantage of him.

"Me? I'm not! I'm not!" Hancock's face was pale as she backed up, her legs went limp, and she sat lifeless to the ground like a duck.

Apophis never had any idea of setting up power, a leader who could not appear for a long time; it is only natural to be overthrown and snatched authority.

However, the appearance of Hancock made him change his mind.

This woman is strong enough; the more important is enough "loyalty"!

Therefore, he naturally had to polish this rough jade well to do so.

"Why do you want to escape?" Apophis' cold voice came out from under the mask, "If you think it's a shame, just use blood to wash it away!"

"The blood ... washes ... away," Hancock's pupils lost focus and muttered the repetition.

"If you don't want to be ridiculed, let others be afraid of you and fear you! Become the one who controls the power; even if it is a stain, it can be followed and worshipped, even if it is an infamy, it can be erased and tampered over."

"This is the law of the ... world!"

Apophis's brainwashing undoubtedly caused a significant impact on Hancock's triviality, and more crucially, she did not hear contempt and sympathy from Apophis's words.

"Apophis-sama, he does not mind my past as a slave; he is the sun, the sun for those of us who have fallen into the darkness and can not see the light!" Hancock wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes while thinking in her heart, "I must have the power and the power to make Apophis-sama look at me sideways!"

"That way, I will be able to be useful to Apophis-sama!"

"If you want revenge, come with me!" Apophis coldly and indifferently walked towards the outside.

"Yes, I will always follow Apophis-sama!" Hancock hurriedly stood up, picked up the fallen mask from the ground after chasing out.

"The next step is to get on the line with Shakky." Walking down the street, Apophis calmly analyzed, "Go ahead and try to side-step them first, and if you can't, then pick up the pieces with them."

"Anyway, this identity already has too many mysteries. And it doesn't hurt to put on another layer of the mysterious background."

Hancock also followed behind, not even to ask them where to go next or what to do next.

It is one of the things Apophis valued most about her, obedience.

PS: I think there is a good chance that Shakky is one of the two "dead" emperors because the former-former emperor and the former emperor died because of love. Of course, to prevent being hit in the face, I will be ambiguous about the process (￣▼￣).
