Hasty escape

'Please don't let anything happen'

Michael flew desperately praying that nothing bad happens to Hancock. On the way he flew past many CP agents leaving behind a gust of cold wind. Some of them tried to investigate but stopped soon after as they could not find anything.

In this desperate way he reached Rosward's mansion in a few minutes. He did not pay attention to the guards standing in front of the gate and directly rushed to the mansion.

There was much less fog near the mansion so he had to stop before he reached the building and mobilized the surrounding fog to flood towards the building. Slowly the surrounding began to get foggy and even the inside of the mansion also started to get affected.

The guards inside the mansion also noticed this abnormal behaviour.

"Hey! Why does it suddenly get foggy here"

"It must be the weather outside. What a mess!!, last year weather wasn't this bad."

"Can you two quiet down!! Lord Rosward just caught a little girl to play with. Don't you know what will happen to you if you disturb him at this time? The last guy who annoyed him was thrown down from Mary Groise"

All the guards trembled a little when they heard this story.

Michael also entered the mansion along with the fog. It was a big three-floored mansion with many rooms. He did not check the first floor but directly went up to the top floor. Those arrogant nobles will most likely be on the top floor. They like looking down on people so much that they even built their city on top of the red line.

On the second floor there were much more CP agents than on the first floor but when he reached the top floor there were none of them. There were only a few rooms and he heard a wicked laugh from one of the rooms. He quickly rushed towards it.

...

Today Saint Rosward felt very lucky. A few days ago, one of his subordinates reported that he found a very beautiful girl among his slaves but he did not pay much attention to it.

He is a world noble, the most powerful group of people in the world, what kind of beauty had he not seen? But these days the fog is getting thicker and thicker and he could not enjoy the outdoor games he played with his fellow nobles. He was very bored so he ordered his subordinate to catch the slave girl.

When he first saw the slave girl he was almost captivated but one of his subordinates quickly blocked his sight which made him angry. He wanted to punish the guy but then he saw him quickly turned into stone. It turned out that the girl was one of those devil fruit users. But he wasn't afraid, instead he felt that he found a very good new toy.

His subordinates quickly put the girl in a seastone handcuff. The girl tried to resist but other than a few more stone statues nothing could be changed. Looking at the girl's helpless and pitiful face he became more excited. He quickly brought the girl to his playroom and hung her up on the wall. Thinking of the many exciting things he was about to do, he let out a wicked laugh..

...

Hancock is also a little desperate at this moment. She wanted to fight back and kill the sinister guy in front of her but she was so weak that she couldn't make any resistance. The last time she was this helpless was only when she was caught by the slave traders.

Her life was full of happiness and hope just a moment ago but everything changed in a moment. Looking at the guy coming towards her with a sinister laugh, her body trembled wildly

'Michael, come and save me, I am scared' Tears started falling from her eyes and she called out to the only support in her heart.

....

When Michael entered the room the first thing he saw made his eyes go red. In a room with many torture devices he saw Hancock being hung on the wall, her eyes were tightly closed, her face filled with tears, her dress was messed up and her body trembled wildly. This is the first time he saw her this terrified, she wasn't this weak, not even when they first met. And an ugly middle aged man was walking towards Hancock with a sinister laugh.

His body reacted before his mind even responded, he flew towards the middle aged man. On the way his upper body manifested in the fog, he picked up a weapon which looked like an iron rod, rushed behind the man and swung at his head with all his force.

The man seemed to feel something and tried to turn around but the stick his head before he could do anything. He didn't even have the time to make any sound and collapsed on the floor. The floor was quickly dyed with blood flowing out of his head.

Michael didn't have time to check whether the man was dead or alive, he rushed towards Hancock and quickly untied her from the wall.

"Hancock, quickly open your eyes, I am here. Let me see where you are hurt. I am sorry i came late."

Hancock's eyes snapped open when she heard his voice and she saw Michael appearing in front of her. She threw herself at him and burst into tears...

"Sob... Sob.....Michael, I thought I couldn't see you again. I was so afraid, they tied me up with a new handcuff and I became weak and my powers were also lost. I tried to call you loudly in my mind, did you hear me and come to save me....? Sob.... " Hancock spoke quickly with sobs in between and at the end her voice bacame incoherent.

Michael saw Hancock suddenly jump at him and tried to hug her but he suddenly became weak and fell down on his back. It turned out that the seastone on Hancock was leaning on him. But still, he hugged her tightly and consoled her.

"It's ok!! It's ok!! Hancock, everything is fine. I am here, I will not let anything happen to you. I will beat any bad guys who try to hurt you"

Hearing his words Hancock cried even more but now Michael has somewhat calmed down, he knows that something big has happened. He either killed a Celestial Dragon or knocked one into a vegetable. He had used all his strength in that blow and the Celestial Dragons themselves weren't strong people. If someone found out now then they will have no chance to escape and if Hancock kept crying loudly like this, someone will surely find out.

'It can't go on like this. It is time to use that ultimate move? '

He made the 'correct' judgement in an instant. He looked at the crying girl in his arm and kissed her crying lips.

' well it is soft and a little salty'

Hancock crying stopped abruptly and her eyes widened but she did not struggled. After a moment she responded and kissed back wildly as if trying to vent all her emotions with the kiss.

Michael suddenly felt a sweet slippery thing in his mouth and his eyes widened at the girl on top of him. Then he also used his own moves and they fought back and forth for a few minutes.

'I wanted to stop your crying but your took away my innocence🥺'

A few minutes flew fast before they separated. They looked at each other's eyes with affection. Their faces were red and their breathings were a little short.

"Have you calmed down" Michael asked.

"Hmmm.. " Hancock turned her red face away and nodded a little.

Michael had no time to taste this exciting moment, he got up from the floor, put Hancock aside and went to check the Celestial Dragon lying on blood. As he thought, the man was not breathing anymore. He sigh

"We are in big trouble, Hancock!! Let's quickly go before anyone noticed"

He was already prepared for the worse when he came here so he quickly calmed down.

'World government might not even know my name. Let's escape from here first.'

Hancock also knew the seriousness of the situation. They quietly searched the room and fortunately both the keys for the seastone handcuff and the exploding collar were in the room.

They got rid of their shackles and tried to find a way to escape from here unnoticed. Michael quickly thought of a way, he could use fogs as a cover and fry out of the window with flying clouds. He quickly implemented it.

He made a flying cloud platform just enough for one person to stand on it and turned himself into dense fog to cover everything.

He let Hancock stand on the platform and cover her with dense fog and they flew out of the window. He didn't even forget to lock the window back. He didn't know how long it would take before they found the dead Celestial Dragon, everything was a rush against time.

They rushed back to their room at the maximum speed. Michael doesn't care if anyone will suspect anything because of them flying too fast, it is already a forgone conclusion that they would be found out. What he had to do is to escape from this place before they found out.

When they reached their building Michael flooded the whole building with dense cloud. Now he is not escaping alone so they have to went through the front door. To prevent anyone from noticing he blocked everyone sight. SanderSonia and Marigold were waiting in the room impatiently when they came in.

"Sonia, Marigold lets go. Don't take anything we prepared, time is limited we have to move fast"

He had no time to explain anything to the girls. He was also ready to abandon the foods he had prepared for this escape. Hancock and her sisters didn't have any time to express their reunion. Michael quickly unlocked their exploding collars and led them outside the building where he made another bigger flying cloud platform and flew towards the forest.

It took them only about 10 minutes to reach the forest. It has only been a little more than half an hour since he released the signal. He didn't have much hope for meeting Tesore but he still decided to go there. When he came in front of the forest he turned back to human form and shouted with a little strength towards the forest.

"Tesoro!! Are you here!!"

As soon as his voice sounded he heard a sound of footsteps from the forest and in the next moment Tesoro walked out of the forest with a woman on his back.

"I thought you might not come. The plan was too sudden and I almost missed it"

"Something happened on our side, I will explain to you on the way let's quickly get out of here first"

He made the cloud platform bigger to fit all of them and called them up.

"So this is the escape plan you were talking about. It is indeed perfect" Tesoro commented as he climbed up on the flying cloud. He was also very excited when he first saw the cloud platform floating in the air.

After telling everyone to prepare themselves Michael quickly let the cloud rise up. All of them kept quite as they rose higher. There was both excitement and tension on their faces. It took them a few minutes to get out of the fog and when the morning sunlight shone on their faces all that was left was excitement.

Michael's face was also filled with excitement, he almost shouted out loud but he quickly covered his mouth. He built more clouds around them to hide themself and also to shield from the strong winds. He also built some of his sunlight storage clouds on top just in case of an emergency.

He let the cloud platform rise some more until he found a fast and steady wind and then he let it glide along the wind direction. This will not only increase their speed but also reduce his consumption. As for where they will land, it depends on fate. They quickly flew away with the wind and in a few minutes only a small dot could be seen.
