“These…
these really are all Sea King bones.”
“To actually feed on Sea Kings…
how terrifying.”
Boa Hancock looked at the skeletons that were a hundred times larger than her own body and swallowed hard.
As for her two younger sisters, the two little girls were so frightened that they clutched tightly at the hem of Boa Hancock’s clothes.
Although their elder sister was standing in front of them, it did not give them even the slightest sense of safety.
Beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down their foreheads.
“Are we going to be eaten by monsters, Sister Hancock?”
Sandersonia looked at the terrifying scene before her, and there was already a sob in her voice.
“Don’t cry.
Being buried in a monster’s mouth is still better than being captured and taken back again!”
Boa Hancock looked at her younger sisters.
Under her gaze, the two girls stopped crying.
Seeing the Marines begin to land on the island, the three Hancock sisters started walking deeper into the forest of white bones.
Whether it was the Marines or the three Hancock sisters, none of them noticed that beneath the surface of the sea and among the piles of bones, unknown creatures had already begun slowly closing in on them.
The three Hancock sisters had only just escaped from Mary Geoise, and their bodies were extremely weak.
Although they were Devil Fruit users, the current them could not use their fruit abilities very well.
After knocking down several Marines, the remaining Marines surrounded them with guns in hand.
“Surrender quietly!”
A one-eyed Marine stared at the three Hancock sisters and threw three pairs of Seastone shackles toward them.
Boa Hancock clenched her silver teeth, staring at the Marine encirclement with eyes full of unwillingness.
They had clearly already been rescued from Mary Geoise by Tiger.
Could it be that they still could not escape the claws of the Celestial Dragons?
“There’s movement!”
The Marine holding a gun beside them suddenly shouted, aiming his weapon toward the left.
Before he could pull the trigger, Boa Hancock and the one-eyed Marine felt a violent gust of wind sweep past them.
At the same time, large amounts of blood splattered across the bodies of the two Marines.
“What just happened?”
Boa Hancock had originally thought she was dead for sure.
She never expected this sudden turn of events to save her.
The Marine who had been holding the gun had disappeared.
In the place where he had just stood, a massive bloodstained impact pattern appeared.
Judging from the scene, the Marine’s body had been pierced and burst apart like a balloon.
“Stay alert!”
The one-eyed Marine drew the pistol at his waist and shouted at the Marines.
From the moment his subordinate died until now, he had not discovered even the slightest trace of the enemy.
“A monster!
This is the monster on Bone Island!”
A bearded Marine stared into the forest of bones, and the hand holding his gun trembled nonstop.
“Roar!”
With a beast-like roar, another Marine vanished into the bone forest.
“Open fire!
Kill that monster!”
The Marines finally saw the white monster clearly, and they pulled their triggers by instinct.
The bullets struck the monster’s body, but only a few sparks burst out.
Their bullets could not injure the monster at all.
“Ah!”
At that moment, a scream rang out behind them.
Another Marine had been killed.
“There’s more than one monster like this!”
A chill rose in the one-eyed Marine’s heart.
He had never seen monsters like this on the sea before.
One of them was already terrifying enough, yet there was actually more than one.
“There are monsters to the east!”
“There are monsters to the west too!”
“There’s one here as well!”
As more and more monsters appeared within the Marines’ field of vision, they finally realized they had already been surrounded.
“No, I have to report this to Rear Admiral Strawberry!”
The one-eyed Marine picked up a Transponder Snail.
These monsters were no longer enemies they could deal with.
He had to request reinforcements.
The instant he took out the Transponder Snail, the monsters seemed to receive some kind of command as well.
Together, they pounced toward the Marines.
As those monsters charged forward, the three Hancock sisters hugged each other tightly.
They thought their fate would be the same as the Marines, that they would all become food for these monsters.
But after a long time, they still did not feel any pain.
When Boa Hancock opened her eyes, she saw a scene she would never forget for the rest of her life.
More than a dozen monsters that had been savage and brutal just moments ago now stood on both sides, their heads pressed tightly against the ground.
Before the passage formed by these monsters, an extremely handsome young man slowly walked out.
That scene was as if those monsters were welcoming their king.
“It’s actually a man around my age!”
When Boa Hancock saw Morin, her eyes could not help but light up.
Since she had not been torn apart by the monsters just now, it meant the young man before her had no intention of killing them.
Their lives were saved.
Boa Hancock felt that this surprise had come too abruptly.
Just moments ago, she had been about to be killed, yet in the blink of an eye, the people trying to kill her were all dead.
“My lord, thank you for saving me.
I thought I was going to lose my life on this island!”
Boa Hancock glanced at the completely motionless monsters, then gratefully spoke to Morin as he walked over.
Although Hancock did not know Morin’s name, she could tell that Morin did not want to take her life.
“Your name is Boa Hancock, right?”
Morin looked at the filthy Hancock and asked.
The current Boa Hancock looked like a malnourished bean sprout.
Who could have imagined that in a few years, she would become the most beautiful woman on this sea?
“Yes.
These are my younger sisters, Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold.”
Boa Hancock introduced the identities of her two younger sisters to Morin.
Looking at the three of them, Morin used Observation Haki to examine their memories.
Morin’s Observation Haki could hear their inner thoughts.
This ability was equivalent to a lie detector.
Aside from the very peak combatants on the sea, no one could lie in front of him.
After they were rescued by Tiger, as female warriors of Amazon Lily, they had not acted together with the Sun Pirates.
When they were preparing to head to the Sabaody Archipelago and return to their hometown, someone reported them, which was how the Marines forced them onto Bone Island.
“Do you know how to cook?”
Morin looked at the three sisters before him and suddenly asked.
The three Boa sisters had never expected Morin to ask such a question, and the three of them looked at one another in confusion.
“Um…
I can make grilled meat and sumo hot pot!”
Marigold answered timidly.
“I know a little too!”
Sandersonia quickly followed up.
“Good.
From now on, you’ll be responsible for grilling meat for me.”
Morin felt that he had not saved the wrong people.
Although Morin could create subordinates himself, these Chimera Ants could only create slaughter and provide food for Morin.
If he wanted them to do delicate work like grilling meat, they were completely incapable of it.
Some pirates had broken in here before, but not a single one of those guys had been a cook.
Morin had always had to grill the meat himself.
Now that he had the three Boa sisters, Morin could finally free his own hands.
