Chapter 85
When I started reading the newspaper, I was in great anticipation, there was some "Greatest News" in the headline, I hope this is about me and my business.
Morgans described it in some detail, about how I finished off a lot of Tenrjubito and wreaked havoc in Marie Geoah.
"The Sea Devil has unleashed his wrath on the Heavenly Dragons, rivers of blood and the holy ground is scorched" - This albatross can exaggerate. My cruelty was vividly described here, but of course Morgans did not take my side, as well as the side of the World Government. He was not a stupid person, so he did not anger any of us. Although he exaggerated some things, in principle he described everything in some detail. Even the way Kong took the form of a huge beast and attacked me has been described. Then it was simply said - "Is the Sea Devil seriously injured or dead? It is not known, but one thing is clear, he rocked the entire Grand Line. "
It also turned out that I even freed the slaves, and many more. Many of them, of course, died or were caught again, but there are many who escaped, probably thanks to them, the information spread.
What was surprising is that the World Government did not keep silent about what happened and try to hide everything. Moreover, they gave me a decent reward, which made me very happy. As many as two billion ... Yes, this is just a huge amount, of course it is far from Yonko, but for an ordinary pirate from Paradise it is a huge amount.
Yes, this award is delightful ... Now I can be proud, it's not in vain that I climbed into Marie Geoa, the risk paid off. True, now Shichibukai can start hunting me, and the agents of the World Government are unlikely to just leave me. Well, do not forget about Yonko, these guys are unpredictable, they can throw out something unpleasant. I am now a celebrity and also the hated enemy of the World Government. They will probably do everything to make me die, so you should be careful. But this will not be a problem, after training I will be even stronger and they will have to try to kill me.
Putting this curious newspaper aside, I chuckled:
- Not bad.
The elder chuckled.
- Your head is not all right, do you know?
I shrugged my shoulders:
"Perhaps, but I had a rescue plan, so I didn't just rush there at breakneck speed.
Nyon shook her head.
- Well, of course...
I decided to turn the conversation in a different direction, so I asked:
- How is the Empress? Looks like she doesn't want to kill me anymore.
The elder looked at me with displeasure, then turned around and left, saying:
- You better get well and don't get involved in this.
They are strange ... Well, apparently I can stay here now, and this is the most important thing. Now I can finally close for training and rest.
Now I even have a royal will, so I simply have to sail to the New World, but first I need to strengthen myself. I did not expect her to awaken in this way. Someone awakens her because of grief, someone because of hatred, and someone because of rage. Although, I awakened her rather because of some crazy impulse, I wanted everyone to hear my name and tremble with fear. At that moment I felt like a king and that nothing could stop me. Hmm, for this I paid with my hand ... I had to act according to the plan and just make a rustle and escape to the Dark Dimension. But then there was no fear at all, so I was stupid, I am too impulsive. Eh ... I was a little hot-tempered in my past life, but now that I have strength, everything has become even worse.
Okay, the main thing is that I survived, and thanks to my incontinence, I was able to get many advantages, there are advantages in everything.
Well, I'll rest for now, the body is not ready for training yet ...
***
After three days I fully recovered, the bandages were removed and I could finally start training. The last days it was something boring, no one came to me except a couple of doctors. About Hancock in general there is no rumor, no spirit, she seemed to evaporate. Judging by the aura, she sits in her room all these days and hardly moves, I don't like it, maybe it's worth visiting her? Hmm, no, after the last time I don't feel like it. I think the elder can cope without me, but for now I will go about my business.
I left the room through the window, but it would be better if I did not catch the eye of the local inhabitants. After that, I went to the highest mountain which was next to my cave ...
***
In the palace of the Empress.
Boa Hancock's chambers.
For the third day, the Empress has been unwell, and the disease is progressing. Today she can no longer walk and just lies in bed, holding her heart.
"I don't know what happened to her, yesterday I thought it was a common cold, but now ..." said the woman who had recently treated Mora with a sigh.
Old Woman Nyon stepped closer to the Empress's bed and muttered:
"I didn't want to jump to conclusions earlier, but now ..." The old woman leaned closer to Hancock and said:
- Maybe I should call him? Immediately after that, Hancock arched her back and sighed heavily.
The old woman nodded:
- Now everything is clear ... This virus has caught up with you ...
- Virus? What kind of virus is it? Elder do you know something? The green-haired girl asked.
Hancock turned to Nyon and quietly asked:
- Old Nyon ... I ... I feel so ... It hurts ... Am I going to die?
The old woman frowned and said:
- Yes ... you will die.
- What?! Old lady Nyon, this is not funny! Sandersonia exclaimed.
The elder chuckled.
"I'm not kidding, this disease has killed many past Empresses, only I was able to survive. This disease is called Love Fever.
- And ... And how do we cure her? - Asked a friend the sister of the Empress.
* Bach *
The old woman struck the floor with her cane and said loudly:
- Get out, I need to talk to Hibihime!
- But ... - Someone tried to argue, but they were interrupted by a cry from Marigold:
- You heard her, let's go!
When everyone had dispersed and only Old Woman Nyon and Boa Hancock remained in the chambers, the old woman sat down on the bed and sighed:
- I didn't think that everything would come to this, this guy is lucky, although he is not friendly with his head a little ... Eh ... - The old woman looked at the sick Empress and said:
- There is a way to cure your illness.
- Y-Yes? Which one? Hancock was surprised.
- You fell in love with this guy, if you accept your feelings, you will not die. - Said the old woman.
- I fell in love? To Mora? Hancock blushed deeply and grabbed her cheeks, and then said:
- So that's what happened to me.
Nyon nodded.
"Yes, this disease haunts all the Kuja Empresses, accept it, otherwise you will not survive.
- And ... How can I do this? - asked the girl.
The elder chuckled.
- It's not that difficult, I'll tell you ...
