Sharing The Same Hatred And Hatred, The Relationship Became Closer In An Instant

Entering Hancock's boudoir with the three Gorgon sisters, Arias found himself enveloped in a pervasive girl's fragrance, leaving him slightly uneasy.

"Who are you?" Hancock reiterated her question, a response to which held potential consequences.

Arias mind raced, recognizing this as an opportunity to both clarify his origins and forge a connection with the captivating pirate.

"My name is Arias. I hail from a small island in North Blue. Just yesterday, the Celestial Dragons sought to capture us as slaves. All my friends were taken, and I barely escaped using a special weapon."

As he spoke, Arias infused sadness into his tone, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists for added effect.

"In my lifetime, I will destroy the Celestial Dragons!"

His declaration elicited a profound shift in the Gorgon sisters' eyes, as Arias words resonated with their own painful memories of slavery.

The mention of slavery cast a somber shadow over the Gorgon sisters, a painful stain they had long avoided discussing.

Their eyes darkened, faces contorted with unpleasant memories, and a heavy silence lingered. Finally, Hancock broke it, questioning Arias.

"Those are the world's nobles, the rulers of the world. If you want to destroy them, aren't you afraid of death?"

Arias met Hancock's gaze, unwaveringly responding, "Afraid! How could you not be afraid? But wouldn't you do it if you were afraid?"

Stunned, the Gorgon sisters listened as Arias continued, disdain evident in his words.

"The nobles of the world? Humph! They are the maggots of the world! The dirtiest existence!"

While acknowledging his own limitations, Arias vowed to kindle the flames of resistance, predicting the demise of the Celestial Dragons.

"I may be weak, but I believe it will be no problem to kill a few Celestial Dragons before I die."

A bright smile adorned his face, leaving Hancock and the others in blank stares, a perplexing sentiment taking root in their hearts.

Childhood humiliation transformed into anger, then grief, tears welling up in Arias eyes.

To the Gorgon sisters, the idea of opposing the Celestial Dragons seemed inconceivable. Despite enduring the same humiliation, they chose silence over rebellion.

Arias, sharing openly, acknowledged the power imbalance but affirmed his unwavering commitment to dismantling the Celestial Dragons.

"If you want to take me to the World Government to collect the reward, please feel free to do so. I will never give up my goal."

Hancock, influenced by the bone scraper, felt a deepening connection to Arias. His serious intent was evident, prompting her to reveal a fiery red mark on her skin—the Celestial Dragon's hoof.

Pretending surprise, Arias asked, "This is?"

Hancock explained, her voice filled with sorrow, and she confided in him about the symbol of slavery. Tears fell on her jade-white legs as she shared a painful truth.

"We don't want anyone to know our past. Will you look down on us who were once slaves?"

Arias, stunned, realized Hancock's words mirrored those he had said to Luffy. Her opening up was the first step toward accepting him.

"Celestial Dragons!" Arias anger resonated. "There are no slaves in this world! I want to destroy them. Will you join me?"

Hancock, now dressed, smiled through tears, red clouds on her cheeks. Satisfied with Arias, she voiced a poignant truth.

"I like you. However, Nine Snake Island cannot perish. My duty is to protect the island, even if it means standing against the Celestial Dragons."

"Besides, you are so weak, and you don't even seem to know how to Haki. How can you implement this great plan?" Hancock questioned.

Arias smiled, not just because of the Pirate Queen's acknowledgment but also due to the electronic voice in his mind:

"Seduce the Empress, causing Luffy to lose a big help. Host has slightly changed the world line and will reward one of the eight magical skills [Liuku Immortal Thief]!"

The corners of his mouth lifted, a mysterious Qi entering his body, instantly revitalizing his internal organs into a perfect state.

At that moment, he comprehended the nature of Qi.
