"So strong."
Hancock bit her lip tightly.
She was no match.
She was only sixteen, too early to reach her peak, while Momousagi Gion was twenty-eight.
Momousagi Gion expressionlessly glanced at Kevin.
Then looked at the Hancock sisters.
Hancock held her head up proudly, not retreating a single step.
"You are not the main culprits, and you are also victims. Go, I will pretend I didn't find you."
The Hancock sisters' eyes flickered slightly.
They looked at Momousagi Gion in surprise.
She actually wants to let us go?
The Celestial Dragons had issued a death order for all escaped slaves to be recaptured and executed; escaped slaves were a disgrace to the World Nobles.
"Not all Marines are lapdogs." The hostility in Hancock's eyes lessened somewhat.
"Leave immediately, I will pretend nothing happened, otherwise, I can only arrest you too, it's my duty." Momousagi Gion issued her final command.
Hancock, facing her powerful aura, took a step forward: "I…"
Before she could speak.
A sharp blade cut past Hancock.
A pink flying slash, tearing through the night, cleaving the sea, the divided ocean extending into the unseen depths of darkness.
"If you don't leave, you won't have a chance to leave."
Momousagi Gion looked at them coldly.
"Hmph, why should I listen to you? Unless you also let Kevin go, I will not leave." Hancock said without thinking.
Leave!
Okay!
Leave together!
"Impossible, he is the main culprit. The World Government will spare no effort to encircle and suppress him. If I don't bring him back, I cannot bear the responsibility." Momousagi Gion shook her head, pointing her sharp sword at Kevin.
"He is not a criminal, he is our benefactor who saved us."
"Exactly."
"Don't the Marines claim to uphold justice? Why are they targeting Kevin?"
The Hancock sisters all stepped forward.
Under the suffocating aura, with death looming, the two younger sisters stood fearlessly by Kevin's side.
"Are you sure?" Momousagi Gion's gaze was sharp: "Even if I pretend not to have found you today, later, the Marines will fully encircle and suppress you. If you stay with him, you will be caught by the Marines sooner or later and then executed. Are you not afraid?"
"No."
"Compared to death, the nightmares of the past are the most terrifying."
Hancock, with her sisters, spoke with unwavering determination.
"Alright, since you've made your choice."
Momousagi Gion slowly closed her eyes.
Hancock slowly clenched her fists, and her two younger sisters transformed into giant pythons and cobras.
They were ready to fight to the death.
"Alright, Gion, stop scaring them." Kevin gently pushed away Momousagi Gion's sword, stepped forward, and couldn't help but playfully flick Momousagi Gion's forehead.
"I was just worried about you."
When she opened her eyes again.
Momousagi Gion's sharp aura and cold eyes had vanished.
Instead, she looked at Kevin with doting affection.
She couldn't help but hug him, "Little Kevin, don't do such crazy things again. You worried me to death."
"Huh?"
The Hancock sisters.
Slowly opened their mouths wide.
They watched the scene in a daze, like wooden chickens.
Their dazed, big eyes were full of question marks.
"Little Kevin, you have good taste in people." Momousagi Gion sized up the Hancock sisters with satisfaction.
They had the resolve to die for Kevin.
She was very satisfied.
She absolutely could not tolerate anyone with malicious intentions approaching Kevin.
"What's your name?" Momousagi Gion asked Hancock curiously.
She sensed a strong talent from Hancock.
"This is?" Hancock couldn't react for a moment, blinking her dazed, big eyes.
"Let me introduce her to you. She is my older sister, the Vice-Captain of our Pirate Crew." Kevin introduced Momousagi Gion's identity to the Hancock sisters.
"My sworn sister," Momousagi Gion added.
Kevin was eighteen years old and had transmigrated for eighteen years.
He and Momousagi Gion were neighbors, childhood sweethearts.
They grew up depending on each other.
Before Hancock and her sisters joined the Pirate Crew, the 150,000 combat power came from Momousagi Gion.
She hadn't reached her peak yet.
The peak of the Grand Line is almost between forty and sixty years old.
Momousagi Gion, who was not yet thirty years old.
She was in a phase of rapid strength improvement, a future Admiral candidate, and very likely to become a new Admiral after Kizaru and the others retire.
She had just become a Marine Vice Admiral not long ago.
Her strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Marine Vice Admiral, and she already possessed the combat power of a Yonko's First Mate.
"Is that so?"
Hancock breathed a sigh of relief. She had been scared to death, thinking she was going to die here.
"That's great."
The two younger sisters cheered with joy.
We have a powerful Captain, and Gion, the Vice-Captain. Our lives are guaranteed.
A smile had just appeared on Hancock's lips, but when she saw the two siblings huddled together, whispering, her eyes dimmed slightly. She bit her finger, "Is this what they call... an affair?"
"Gion, have you really thought it through?" Kevin didn't want to force Gion, who had protected him since childhood, "Do you really want to leave the Marines?"
Momousagi Gion stretched.
Her graceful figure was revealed.
"Little Kevin, you joined the Marines with me, against your will. This time, it's my turn, big sister, to fulfill your wish. Being a dog for the World Nobles, I don't recognize such Marines and justice."
"Captain, please give me more guidance from now on." Gion looked at Kevin with a smile, "How do we proceed next, my Captain, have you thought it through? My identity should be able to buy us some time, but not too long."
"This is more interesting."
Peach Rabbit stared blankly at Kevin's profile.
"Little Kevin has grown up, so majestic." After a faint smile, Momousagi Gion walked towards the cabin, "I was so annoyed in Holy Land Mary Geoise, I can finally take a good bath and relax. Little Kevin... want to join me?"
Kevin: "........?"
"Oh, still shy? When you were little, you were..."
"Don't say it." Kevin's face turned black.
