Chapter 260
Chapter 260
"That’s right! I’ve taken a liking to you! This is your honor!"
Hancock’s gaze turned firm as she nodded and declared it.
Since she didn’t know Rorschach well and had no common ground with him, it was difficult for her to express herself normally. Still, she chose to confess her feelings in her own bold way.
Rorschach smiled at her words. Then, without warning, he leaned in and kissed her directly on the lips.
"Mm?!"
Hancock let out a surprised, muffled sound.
Her expression instantly turned flustered. Under Rorschach’s experienced lead, she gradually began to respond.
After a long moment, Rorschach finally pulled away.
"Haah... haah..."
Hancock panted heavily, her eyes avoiding his.
"How do you feel now?"
Rorschach asked with a smile.
"...It felt quite nice. So... does this mean you’ve accepted my proposal?"
After catching her breath, Hancock asked shyly.
"Hm? You still don’t understand?"
Rorschach raised an eyebrow, then leaned in again.
"Mm!"
This time the kiss was even deeper. Hancock let out another soft sound, her body trembling.
She felt like she was about to suffocate.
Only after Rorschach released her did she realize she could still breathe, gasping for air.
"Get one thing straight. It’s not that I have to become your husband. It’s that you are going to become my woman. Understand?"
Rorschach held her chin, his tone making it clear that if she dared to say "no," he would make her experience that suffocating feeling again.
"Y-Yes... Lord Rorschach..."
Contrary to expectations, Hancock’s face was flushed with infatuation. She simply lay quietly in his arms like a docile little woman, completely lacking her usual arrogance.
Right now, she was nothing more than a woman starved for love.
After a moment of intimacy, Hancock slowly pulled herself out of his embrace.
"Is there anything you need my power for, Lord Rorschach? No matter what it is, I will support you with everything I have."
Her face was still red as she spoke, completely devoted.
Rorschach rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.
He didn’t actually need Hancock’s strength for anything specific right now... but he did need her.
Still, he gave her one clear request.
"I need you to resign from the Seven Warlords."
"No problem."
Hancock nodded without the slightest hesitation.
She didn’t even consider the possibility that leaving the Warlords might bring Marine retaliation to Amazon Lily. She was the type who would do anything for love without hesitation.
"Mm. Also, I want Amazon Lily."
"If that’s what you want, Lord Rorschach, then you may even become the king of Amazon Lily."
Hancock agreed immediately.
"What a good woman."
Rorschach gently patted her head and spoke softly.
"As long as it’s for you, Lord Rorschach... I can do anything."
Hancock rubbed her head against his hand obediently, her face flushed.
"Since I’ve accepted so many of your requests, Lord Rorschach... could you grant me one in return?"
"Hm? Go ahead."
Rorschach looked at her curiously.
He was quite interested in what kind of request Hancock would make. Once this woman fell in love, she could be just as devoted as Baby 5.
Still, he didn’t agree immediately. He wanted to hear what it was first. If she asked him to only love her and abandon the others, then even if he had agreed to her request, he would have to refuse.
"Lord Rorschach... you can do anything you want with me. But... could you throw that woman away? I don’t like her."
Hancock first twisted her body shyly, then pointed at the unconscious Catarina Devon with a vicious expression.
Rorschach looked at her with a mix of amusement and helplessness.
So Hancock had been holding onto this the whole time. He had only captured Catarina Devon for her Devil Fruit ability, but apparently Hancock had completely misunderstood.
"Alright, alright. I understand how you feel. I’m taking this woman back for research. Her Devil Fruit is very useful."
Rorschach smiled wryly and patted Hancock’s head to calm her down.
"Really?"
"Of course. With a woman as beautiful as you by my side, how could I possibly be interested in someone like her?"
Rorschach was already sweating. He truly had zero interest in Catarina Devon, but why did it feel like no one believed him?
"I see... I thought Lord Rorschach had taken a liking to her. Thank goodness..."
Hancock finally relaxed, her expression brightening.
However, her reaction made Rorschach a little worried.
He already had quite a few women. If Hancock was this jealous already, he didn’t know how chaotic things would become later.
So he decided to give her a warning in advance.
"Hancock, look at me."
Rorschach gently turned her face toward him by the chin.
"Y-Yes, Lord Rorschach... Are you going to... again?"
Hancock’s face turned red, looking strangely expectant.
She thought he was going to kiss her again.
"Hancock, I need to make something clear first. I have many women. Even so, I like every single one of them, and I won’t abandon any of them for just one person. So... can you get along with them?"
Rorschach spoke gently but seriously.
Hancock’s expression became complicated. After a moment, she slowly nodded.
"...Although I don’t want to share you with anyone else, if that’s what you want, Lord Rorschach... I will endure it."
"Good girl. Here’s your reward."
Rorschach lightly kissed her forehead.
"The gentle Lord Rorschach is so handsome... He makes me feel so safe."
Hancock looked a little disappointed at first, but quickly returned to her lovestruck expression.
"Alright. Let’s go. We’ll make a trip to Amazon Lily first. Once you resign from the Seven Warlords, Amazon Lily will no longer be safe. We need to move it to the New World."
"Yes! Lord Rorschach!"
Hancock agreed without any hesitation.
She then took out Amazon Lily’s Eternal Pose.
At Rorschach’s command, Little Silver shot forward at high speed, flying straight toward Amazon Lily.
The distance wasn’t far. It lay in the triangular area formed by Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and Marine Headquarters — the Calm Belt.
Like Impel Down, it was located in a windless zone.
Because no wind blew in this area, it was called the Calm Belt. Countless giant Sea Kings lived here, and this special environment had long protected Amazon Lily from outside invaders.
However, now that the Marines had developed sea-stone powered ships, the Calm Belt could no longer completely stop them.
