From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Xia Jieren was almost tangled into a "Chinese knot" at this moment.

Suddenly, he moved his ears and heard a rustling sound coming from behind the bed curtain. This sound immediately made Xia Jieren's imagination run wild again.

He suddenly felt that this scene was extremely familiar, and soon, the plot that he had watched many times flooded into his mind.

One of the famous scenes of Hancock’s welfare show, which impressed all the audience.

I still remember that when Xia Jieren watched it for the first time, he played it frame by frame, fearing that he would miss every detail. After that, he watched it n+1 times, but he still felt unsatisfied and would review it from time to time to deepen his impression.

"Is it finally my turn?" Thinking of this, Xia Jieren felt slightly excited.

"No! No! I have to stay calm! At this critical moment, I must remain calm!" Xia Jieren forced himself to calm down.

"Hmph!" Kerrigan snorted coldly when she saw the Overlord being so useless.

Kerrigan's sudden voice interrupted Xia Jieren's reverie.

Coming back to his senses, Xia Jieren touched his head awkwardly.

Kerrigan was the person who knew him best, and her understanding of him far exceeded Xia Jieren's own. So when facing Kerrigan, Xia Jieren was embarrassed for a moment, but he quickly calmed down.

In order to avoid making a fool of himself in front of Hancock, Xia Jieren silently said in his heart: "A pure heart is like water, and pure water is the heart. There is no breeze, and there are no waves... A pure heart is like water, and pure water is the heart. There is no breeze, and there are no waves... "

Just as Xia Jieren was silently reciting the "Qing Xin Jue" for the second time, Hancock's somewhat suppressed voice came to his ears: "Come in!"

When it really came to this, Xia Jieren couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat.

He took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, gently pushed aside the bed curtain, and put his head inside.

Such white and smooth skin.

This was the first thought that came to Xia Jieren's mind.

Xia Jieren stared at Hancock's back without blinking, his mind wandering: "What went wrong? My treatment is not even a little bit worse than Luffy's. Why is the back the first thing I see? Is this the difference between the Destiny Child and the Outer Devil?"

"Are you in?" Hancock asked in a trembling voice.

"Come in!" Xia Jieren replied subconsciously.

Xia Jieren was quite surprised by Hancock's slow reaction.

"It seems that the experience of becoming a slave was too painful for Hancock!" Soon, he figured out why Hancock was so slow.

Her jet-black hair flowed down to her slender waist.

Xia Jieren opened his eyes wide and concentrated completely. He had never been so focused before.

Hancock leaned forward slightly, grasping the white sheets with both hands, her body trembling slightly.

"I... was once... a slave... of the... Celestial... Dragons." Hancock gently pushed aside her long hair, revealing the scar on her back, and spoke word by word.

Xia Jieren already knew this, but when he saw the mark, he still frowned and anger rose in his heart.

"I'm sure you know the meaning of this mark! It's... the hoofprint of the Nine Sky Flying Dragon... the seal of the Celestial Dragons."

After saying this, Hancock collapsed like a deflated ball.

"It is proof of being an 'inferior race' that can never be erased in a lifetime!"

Xia Jieren listened in silence.

Hancock hugged his knees, curled up his body, and choked up as he recounted his past experiences.

From being kidnapped at sea to becoming a slave of the Celestial Dragons; from the miserable life in [Mariejoa] to seizing the opportunity to escape, from avoiding the [World Government] to the difficult return to [Nine Snake Island]...

Hancock recounted every single one of these experiences in detail.

During this period, Xia Jieren remained silent and listened quietly.

After she finished talking about everything, Hancock's mood stabilized a lot. After telling Xia Jieren about these things, Hancock felt much more relaxed.

At this time, Hancock asked anxiously: "Master Jieren..., will you look down on me...who was once a slave?"

When asking this question, Hancock lowered her head and did not dare to look directly at Xia Jieren. She was very afraid of hearing a despairing answer.

Hancock waited quietly for Xia Jieren's answer. Every minute and every second was extremely tormenting for her at this moment.

Xia Jieren didn't hesitate at all. After hearing Hancock's question, he blurted out: "Of course not!"

"Really?" Hancock wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and suddenly looked up at Xia Jieren.

Xia Jieren looked at her with a firm gaze and a sincere tone: "Yes!"

Looking at Hancock's charming face with traces of tears, Xia Jieren couldn't help but feel pity.

"None of this is your fault! It's all the fault of those scum of the Celestial Dragons!" Xia Jieren leaned forward slightly, placed his right hand on the top of Hancock's head, and gently stroked her inky hair, as if he was comforting a small animal.

"Don't worry! The [World Government] and the [Celestial Dragons] will be destroyed in the near future. By then, you can also go to [Mariejoa] yourself and kill two [Celestial Dragons] to satisfy your desire!"

Xia Jieren didn't realize that his behavior was inappropriate. He touched her and talked about his vision for the future.

Hancock's mind went blank because of Xia Jieren's sudden action. She stared at Xia Jieren's profile blankly for a long time.

Under Xia Jieren's touch, Hancock gradually calmed down. At this moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.

"what--"

After a long time, Hancock realized her current condition, screamed, supported herself on the bed with her hands, and backed away repeatedly.

At this time, Xia Jieren also came to his senses.

He looked at his right hand, then glanced at Hancock, and finally realized what he had just done.

Xia Jieren smiled awkwardly, supporting himself on the bed somewhat helplessly.

Hancock held her blushing cheeks in her hands, her heart beating wildly as if it was about to jump out of her throat. She murmured to herself, "What happened to me just now? Why didn't I resist?"

Thinking back to what had just happened, Hancock's face couldn't help but blush with shyness again.

Her eyes were wandering and she didn't dare to look directly at Xia Jieren.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Xia Jieren stepped back slightly and said through the bed curtain, "Hancock, wait a moment... I have something on my ship that may be useful to you."

After saying that, without waiting for Hancock's reaction, Xia Jieren hurriedly left Hancock's bedroom.

After Xia Jieren left, Hancock lay on the bed, tossing and turning: "Why do I feel weak all over when I think of Master Jieren? Is he sick?"

As time went on, Hancock felt more and more uncomfortable. He tossed and turned and looked very miserable.

Beside the bed, Samelo looked at his master's miserable appearance and shook his snake body anxiously.

Hancock glanced at it and whispered, "I'm fine!"
