Chapter 63: Meeting the Pirate Empress

"Devil King Narmi, our Empress wish to see you."

Narmi was stunned when he heard that. He didn't expect that Hancock would want to meet him. This was due to her past, which caused her to discriminate against men. So, Narmi didn't do anything crazy despite his status due to his knowledge of her past.

But maybe she had something to ask, that's why she wanted to meet him despite that. This caused him to respect her more.

"Lead the way for me." Narmi gave his response.

Along the way, he saw the decorations of the ship which was very well placed. He couldn't help but admire the ship He thought that his ship didn't had that many decorations as they didn't even care about it. Maybe he would try to decorate the Errege after his return.

Not long after, they arrived in front of a big door. The girl who helped lead him here knocked on the door notifying his arrival. She then asked him to go inside before excusing herself. Narmi then proceed to open the door.

Once inside, Narmi saw a beautiful woman wearing a revealing red blouse sitting on a large white snake with pink spots. Even though he had always interact with an exotic type of beauty, this is his first time saw a Goddess type of beauty.

Luckily, his willpower is high enough to prevent himself from being charmed. Unfortunately, her eyes were very emotionless. Beside her, there are two other large woman accompanying her. These are the Gorgon Sisters, Boa Hancock, Marigold and Sandersonia.

When Narmi came near them, he can easily read the pain in their eyes as they was feeling reluctant to face a man after all this time. But they had to do this as it involves the future of their tribe. Without wasting much time, Hancock directly ask the question.

"Is it true what you had said to my subordinates?"

"It is all true. Crocodile had been detained by Marines, meanwhile Doflamingo would face his doom in the near future."

"About the Shichibukai title? What would happen then?"

"Although the World Government would still acknowledge the existence of Shichibukai, but like I said to your subordinates before, there would be pirates that are reckless." Narmi said

"Although it was just my prediction, but they would probably try to attack the other Shichibukai. Besides, the world saw Shichibukai as the World Government's dogs. They can't contend with World Government, but they still can try to contend with the pirates that was under them." Narmi added

Hearing this, Hancock wear a difficult expression on her face. Although, she didn't seem to care about the Kuja, but they are in the crisis of getting attacked in the future. She didn't want the Kuja to experience what she and her sisters had experience from before. This is her duty as their Empress.

Although she knew the excellence of the Kuja tribe, but compared to the outside world, they would probably lose. There are many more outstanding people travelling the sea. And if they decided to attack them, they probably couldn't retaliate.

Narmi at the side just stay silent, watching her fell deep in thought of the solutions. But after a few minutes, without anything came up as a solution for her, she shows an expression of giving up. Seeing this, Narmi then interjected.

"I see you are thinking hard for the solution of the problem. But it seems you have no idea on how to deal with it. Then, how about this? I suggesr that my crew would become your protector."

Hancock and the others put on their vigilance when Narmi said that. First, this was due to the fact that he is a man. Second, nothing in this world is free so he must be planning something.

Narmi just chuckled seeing this. It seems they are cautious of him. Well, not like he didn't understand so he then proceed to explain.

"Don't worry, I don't intend to do anything towards your tribe. I want you guys to do me a favor, which is to stay your position as Shichibukai."

"Why?" Hancock asked

"There will be something interesting happening in the future and I need your help during that time. It is related to the World Government."

"So, you want us to stay as Shichibukai in exchange for your crew service as our tribe protector?"

"Yep. Easy enough isn't it?"

"How can we trust you?"

"You guys know Silvers Rayleigh right?"

"Yeah, we know him."

"Well, he would be responsible for the new members of my crew training. This new members are former slave of Celestial Dragons. Right now I'm heading to Rusukaina so I can teleport them there."

"Former Slave of the Celestial Dragons!?" All three of them were shocked

"Yeah, those bastards dare to insult one of my crew members, so she then trashed them hard. I couldn't even hold my laugh seeing them got trashed." Narmi laughed out loud remembering that event.

"Y-Y-Your crew member trashed them!? Aren't you scared the World Government would retaliate!?"

"Ohh they had retaliate. But the agent they sent were also trashed. But then, they framed their agents so we recruit them into our crew hahaha. That five old man must be pissed off."

By then, Hancock, Marigold and Sandersonia thought of the same thing. The man in front of them was fearless, his crew were also fearless under his leadership. He is a foolish man like the one who had set them free.

"Aren't you afraid of the Celestial Dragons at all!?" Hancock asked

"Living while thinking about what would happen in the future is meaningless. Tread your own path and face whatever comes your way fearlessly. That's my way of life. Besides, no one in this world could contend with me."

"But all of the Celestial Dragons' slaves bear their mark. How are you going to deal with that?" Sandersonia asked

"Ohh I had helped them removed their mark. So, no worries."

This time, the three of them were shocked to their core. They had lived all this time with that mark on their backs. They really wanted to remove this mark so they needn't worry of their past were exposed.

Due to this mark that they need to remain aloof and detached from the tribe. This was so that they wouldn't need to worry of being discovered. When there is a chance that they could remove this mark, they would surely take it. And so with a determined expression, Hancock said.

"To tell you the truth, we are a former slave of Celestial Dragons. We always look for a way to make the mark disappear. So, if you can, could you please help us remove the mark?"

Narmi just smiled hearing Hancock asking for his help. He had expected that she would probably asked. But then, he just bought the potions and gave it to them.

"This is the thing that help remove the mark. I'm giving it to you. Just drink it and endure the pain for a few minutes. Well then, our business is done here. I would like to continue my journey. Take this Den Den Mushi and contact me whenever you guys are in danger."

Narmi then rise up from his seat and went out to continue his journey. The three sisters just watch the bottle containing the liquid that could help them. For safety measure, Marigold asked for the two of them to not drink it yet.

She would try it first to confirm its effect. Without further ado, she quickly gulped the potion. Then, like what Narmi said, the pain came right after she drinks it, and the pain was loss after a few minutes pass by. They then check her back and notice the mark was gone without a trace.

Swiftly, Hancock and Sandersonia took the potion and gulped it down. After a few minutes, they were done and saw their back was without any mark. All of them cried for the first time after a long while. They didn't expect that their meeting with Narmi would help them remove their main concern.

Right now, they wouldn't need to care about the mark and can even interact with the tribes without any worries. They thanked Narmi in their heart.

'Devil King Narmi Amsi eh. I wonder what should I do to thank him in the future?' Hancock thought.
