49 Chapter 49: Celestial Pig

[So you say that you got into a fight, and in the process were sent flying through the air, and all the way to our island, which is a 3 days trip to Rusukaina?]: hancock

Soren realized he was being pushed into a corner, and thought that he was going to screw himself over, but all the knowledge was right, as Luffy was also sent all the way from Sabaody, to this place by Kuma's Devil Fruit power, so there has to be an explanation.

[Well you see… I happen to know one of the Seven Warlords who goes by the name Kuma, and we happen to be sparing, and then I asked him to be serious, and in the end I came flying here]: soren

Soren quickly came up with an excuse, and would only hope that in the future when Luffy gets sent here, that it doesn't come up in conversation.

[One of the Warlords?... Okay, let's say that I believe you, why did you land in the bathhouse around the time that I usually go and take my baths?... Were you perhaps lying to me, and stalking me?]: hancock

Soren felt like his honor was being dragged through the mud, and he couldn't let this happen, even if Hancock was partially right, so he made a bold move and stated.

[Look… You're a beautiful woman and all, but I already have 2 wives, and even if I was looking to add another one, I sure as hell wouldn't secretly stalk you, and try to catch you in the bathroom… Now, if you don't have any further questions, I need to find a way back to Rusukaina, so I can pay Kuma back]: soren

Soren stuck with the lie that Kuma caused this, as if he were to try and change it, he would be doomed. When Hancock heard Soren's harsh words, she felt her pride was under fire, knowing that someone wasn't willing to stalk her, as she felt that everyone, even women would give anything to stalk her and see her nude.

[Fine!... You want to leave, we will arrange it, but only after you have defeated our champion in combat… Win, and you will be released. Lose, and you will die here]: hancock

Hancock spoke with a cold tone as she wanted to get this over with at all costs, and go take a bath. Soren was then brought back to the prison he was kept in, awaiting his trial, and Soren's plan was to cause a fire, and save Marigold and Sandersonia from being exposed as EX- Slaves. THe next day, Soren was brought out from the prison, and placed in the arena while all the women from the island came to the stadium to watch the fight, and after everyone was seated, Hancock and her 2 sisters came out and began announcing how this was going to go down.

[Today we are gathered to watch a fight that will decide the fate of this man who has trespassed onto our island, and broke into the royal bathhouse to spy on Elder Nyon… He will be released if he can beat our champion, or he will die if he loses]: hancock

Once Hancock finished speaking, a gigantic Black panther came out on stage, and began observing Soren, while Hancock introduced the animal.

[This is our Champion, his name is Bacura, he is carnivorous, and is quite hungry… Let the fight commence]: hancock

Once Hancock gave the signal to start, Bacura charged towards Soren, but in the very next second, it stood still frozen, before falling to the ground dead.

[It's dead… Am I free to go?]: soren

Everyone was shocked, even Hancock, as she had felt Soren's Haki, and was shocked that Soren could use Conqueror's Haki, but not wanting to make her nation look weak, Hancock told Soren that he had to fight her 2 sisters before he could leave, and with that, both Marigold, and Sandersonia entered the stage, and faced Soren.

[You are going to die here today, hehehe]: sandersonia

[Don't kill him too quickly, Sandersonia, I want a turn as well]: marigold

As the two sisters are getting ready to attack and kill Soren, Hancock had her own thoughts about the situation at hand.

'He's not a bad looking person, but he dared to peep on Elder Nyan while she was in the bath… All men are the same, they see us as nothing by play things in their eyes… That's why… That's why I will rise to the top of this world and overthrow the World Government… Those disgusting pigs need to perish under the power of my Love-Love fruit': hancock

Soren then saw both Marigold and Sandersonia closing in on his position while moving to surround him and keep him from running away, but surprisingly, Soren didn't move at all, and instead, he stood there with his arms crossed waiting for the two sisters to attack.

[Don't come at me separately… Instead, I want the both of you to attack me at the same time, otherwise you both will lose]: soren

Soren gave out a taunting sentence in hopes that both of the sisters will attack with their full power, and devil fruits activated. Surprisingly enough, both the sisters took the taunt and acted as Sandersonia used her ability to summon her poison, while Marigold summoned some fire that began to encase her entire body, and seeing the two get serious, Soren made his move, and finally moved as he quickly used wind magic to clear out the poison, and appeared behind Marigold, and threw her into Sandersonia, maker her fly towards the edge of the ring, and towards the spikes below, but before she could fall to her death, she caught herself as her body made a bridge from the ring, towards the crowd. Marigold began to get up while shaking her head due to the pain from the sudden impact, and then she looked over to her sister who was on the verge of falling into the pit of spikes below, and her back was covered in flames.

[Sandersonia!]: marigold

Marigold shouted, and called attention to Sandersonia as Hancock looked to see that her cape was in the process of being burnt off, and her Teal bra that kept her back hidden had fallen down into the pit as her breasts were exposed, and unlike in the Anime where there was no need for a bra because there were no nipples to show, Sandersonia had a nice set of perky nipples that had dark green areolas to match her skin.

'Holy shit!... Those aren't half bad': soren

Soren took some time to marvel at Sandersonia's nice breasts before he saw his chance to act and jumped over to Sandersonia, and covered her back while putting out the fire.

[Look!... That man wants to kill Sandersonia-sama!... How shameful he is!]: crowd

[What are you doing!... get off my back this instant!]: sandersonia

[Shut up!... I'm protecting you]: soren

[What do you mean protecting me! I don't need prote-]: sandersonia

Before Sandersonia could finish her sentence, Marigold shouted out towards her.

[Sister! Your back!]: marigold

When Marigold said that, Sandersonia shut up and let Soren do what he was doing, and as many of the crowd her what Marigold said, they began to freak out about Sandersonia's back, and shout about the lie that was told to them about the gorgon's eye that would turn anyone who looked at it to stone. Once Hancock saw Soren protecting Sandersonia, she thought about how Soren could have come to know, but before this situation could get any worse, Hancock cave the order for all the spectators to leave, and after everyone left, Soren gor off of Sandersonia while creating her a new set of clothes, once again shocking everyone present.

[Okay… Now tell me, how do you know about the mark on Sandersonia's back?]: hancock

[I've seen it before, and I know that anyone with this mark would feel like an outcast if it was seen by others… I also know that you and Marigold have the same mark]: soren

[You!... How do you know!]: hancock

Hancock's tone started to become cold as Soren outed her for having the cursed mark placed on them from the Celestial Dragons.

[Calm down… I know because I've seen the day you escaped along with your sisters when Fisher Tiger attacked… I've been around for quite a while]: soren

Soren came up with a lie that would seem believable to some extent, and when Hancock heard it, she felt some feeling well up inside her, but didn't express them before she spoke once more.

[If what you say is true, then thank you for protecting Sandersonia's secret… But I would ask you to keep this secret to yourself… Since you won the battle, you can leave, I'll have my people prepare a boat for you to depart on]: hancock

Hancock wanted Soren to leave as soon as possible, and with this, Hancock left Soren there to be escorted by Marigold and Sandersonia to the place a boat would be waiting for him at. Soren was a bit upset that Hancock didn't take a liking to him for protecting Sandersonia, and thought it must have been due to Luffy's charm as a Protagonist that Hancock fell for him.

'Maybe I need to profess my love for her?... But how?': soren

Soren then thought to come up with some way to make Hancock look at him in a romantic light, but the question was how to do this. Soren had broken into her bathroom, then fought with her sisters, and even though Soren saved Sandersonia, Luffy had more merit, as he was given a choice to save people he met on Amazon Lily, and shocked Hancock with his choice, as she thought it would be selfish, then Luffy had saved Sandersonia, making Luffy's image in Hancock's eyes skyrocket.

'Maybe I should go destroy Mary Geoise, and get rid of the Celestial Dragons?... But that's not really something that would shout "I want you to be with me in my Harem" it's more like "I want you, and I killed these people for you"... Seems a bit psychopathic': soren

Soren was then given a small boat, and was sent off the island, along with his sword which almost made the boat sink due to the weight, and almost killed the snake that was leading the boat through the calm belt back into the Grand Line, and after a few days of sailing, Soren made it back to Sabaody, and got off the boat as he watched it speed away, back to Amazon Lily.

[That's traveling in style… Anyway, I guess I can pass my time by hanging out in Shakky's Rip-Off Bar]: soren

As Soren was heading towards Shakky's Bar, he noticed that everyone he was passing by had started to kneel down as murmurs began to become silent whispers.

[What the-... Oh no, have I come down the wrong street today?]: soren

As Soren looked around to survey his surroundings, he noticed that the Auction House was just down the street from him, and looking the other way, Soren could see a fat human like pig riding on top of a human on all 4's looking to be on the brink of death.

[Hurry up you piece of garbage!... I want to get to the auction house in a timely manner!]: fat pig

As the pig spoke, he began to get angry at the human being underneath him, as the human was struggling to move under the huge amount of weight, and seconds later, the fat pig began kicking the head of the human as he shouted in anger, and once the human endured the 3rd kick, the 4th one made the human collapse as he died.

[What is this!... How am I supposed to move now!]: pig

Just as the pig said this, he happened to look around and see Soren still standing, and without a second thought, the pig called out to Soren with an angry shout as a smile appeared on his face, as if finding his new ride.

[You there!... Commoner! Come and show respect by kneeling on the ground and becoming my new mount!]: pig

Soren looked around, before looking back at the pig and pointing to himself and asking with his head tilted.

[Me?]: soren

When the pig saw this, he got angry that Soren wasn't moving on his command, but instead questioning him about who he was calling.

[Yes you!... You don't want to kneel for me like the rest of these trash commoners, I'll make you my new mount!... You should be happy that I want you as my mount, as it's a great honor for someone like you]: pig

When Soren heard this, he wanted to punch the pig in the face, but held back, as he didn't want to destroy this whole island before Luffy and the rest could even get here.

[I'm good… I'd rather not be a mount for a fat pig like you]: soren

As Soren said this, he began to walk away, leaving everyone present shocked to their cores, while some of the citizens began to freak out in their minds as they inwardly said.

'You idiot!... Now you're dead!... But hey, dying is by far better than being one of their slave mounts': citizens

The pig was furious when he heard Soren's words, and with anger, and spit flying from his fat face, he shouted at Soren.

[You!... Come back here now! You will give me respect! I am a Celestial Dragon! A God who has graced you trash with his presence!]: pig
