Morning....

Hancock summoned her two sisters, Granny Nyon, and Luffy to the palace.

Hancock then sat by Lepus' side and made a statement.

"From now on, I am my husband's wife."

""""Whaaat!!!???""""

The four people, apart from Lepus who heard that statement were also very surprised!

""What in the world actually happened!?""

The two Hancock sisters asked in confusion and disbelief.

Nyon's grandmother also explained the real situation.

"Hebihime's illness is love sickness. The previous Queens died from holding back their feelings."

""Whaaat...!!!???""

Seeing those who were dumbfounded, Lepus then spoke.

"Enough. Stop being surprised.... We're here for a discussion."

"Silence! My husband wants to talk!"

Hancock slightly snapped at the others. They were silent.

Then, Lepus started to speak.

"My queen, fulfill the call for war at Marineford. But this is also the last time you will become a Sichibukai. After the war you will resign and I will take your place."

""""Whaaat!?""""

The other four were again shocked and dumbfounded by Lepus' statement.

"Silence!"

Hancock once again snapped at them.

Lepus then calms them down.

"Don't worry. I have the capital to qualify as a Sichibukai.... I'll talk to Sengoku later. And the World Government won't reject me either.... Kuja will remain safe under my protection."

"Yes, my husband."

Hancock nodded accepting whatever decision and whatever her husband wanted without asking much because she believed in her husband.

Lepus then continued talking.

"You fulfilled the call, but you will asked for a condition which is to visit Impel Down with the reason of being curious to see Ace the Fire Fist."

"For what, my husband?"

Hancock asked somewhat confused.

Lepus also explained the reason while pointed at Luffy.

"That's because that rubber brat wants to infiltrate Impel Down to save Ace who is his brother."

"""What!?"""

The three sisters were quite surprised to hear that Ace who was the trigger for the upcoming big war was actually Luffy's brother!

"Me, my wife and this brat are going to Impel Down. Me and this boy are going to hide with my ability, so we won't be found out."

Lepus then explained a little about the abilities of his Kara Kara no Mi to them.

And they were astonished to know what Lepus could do with his DF's abilities.

"Actually I could have send him straight into Impel Down with my ability. But I don't want to."

"What!? Why!?"

Luffy protested slightly.

Lepus also responded.

"Why should I? Who are you to me? And after all, I want to spend time my wife during the trip. It's good enough that I want to help you."

Hearing Lepus' response, Luffy frowned even more and complained.

"What's that... Stingy."

"Want me to send you to your grandfather instead?"

Hearing Lepus threaten to throw Luffy to Garp instead, Luffy was silent for a thousand words.

"...."

Realizing that Lepus had finished speaking, Hancock then ordered her sister.

"Sonia, get me the Den Den Mushi!"
