"Sister, you are famous!"
"Sister, today's headlines are all your photos, and the newspaper says you are the most beautiful woman in the world!"
Just when Kahn and Hancock became famous worldwide and were called the strongest twin stars of the year by Morgans, today's Newspaper also fell into the hands of Kahn and his group.
On the lawn deck of their ship, which was sailing slowly on the sea, Kahn and his gang held a copy of the World Economic Journal.
After reading today's news, Mary and Sonia came to their sister one after another and said with admiration, "Sister, you are really amazing!"
"Of course..."
With one hand on her hip, Hancock stroked her smooth hairstyle with the other hand. With a smug smile on her face, she said, "I'm the most beautiful. That guy named Morgans is just telling the truth."
Seeing this scene, Scarlett couldn't help asking Robin next to her, "Has she always been so arrogant?"
"Ara ara... Hancock is indeed the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and she's just telling the truth."
Robin covered her lips and smiled. Her beautiful blue-black eyes curved into crescents, making it impossible for people to judge whether her words were true or not through the window of the soul.
Only Kahn, who has natural Observation Haki, knew that Robin said this on purpose.
Under Robin's gentle and calm appearance, she is actually quite cunning, hiding a sharp mind.
Just as Hancock is hostile to Scarlett, Robin is actually hostile to Scarlett, too.
It's just that Hancock shows it with arrogance, while Robin doesn't show it.
Because they don't want this girl with super good looks, who is the princess of a member country and who is "well-matched" with the Master, to become their master's partner.
That's why Hancock immediately asked Kahn if she was prettier or if Scarlett was prettier when she got bigger.
Hancock wants to use her own beauty to charm the Master so she won't be afraid that the Master will be swayed by Scarlett.
Robin, who is the most mature among the girls, also saw Hancock's thoughts and expressed support for Hancock's approach.
She and Hancock are now the Master's head maid and battle maid chief.
If someone wants to become their mistress, they have to pass the level of the two of them.
Those who are not recognized by them, or who don't convince them, won't become their mistress.
Scarlett didn't know that Robin, a girl with a gentle personality like a big sister, actually had a cunning side.
After hearing Robin's words, Scarlett had to admit that eighteen-year-old Hancock was indeed worthy of the title of the most beautiful woman in the world.
Her figure, appearance, and strength are all flawless, much stronger than her meagre self, which is only 1.7 meters tall.
'Ah... I want to become so powerful, too!'
Scarlett sighed silently.
Kahn, who saw her heart in his eyes, slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
'Just think about it. I'm afraid you just want to be a vase.'
Kahn thought to himself slightly.
Originally, Kahn was still hesitating about whether to give the Paramecia Love Love Fruit to Scarlett so that Scarlett, whose beauty is only slightly inferior to Hancock's, would become a slightly weaker version of the original.
And now, Kahn has made his decision.
After returning to the New World, Kahn will let Scarlett choose.
If she chooses to become strong, Kahn will teach her Haki and the Marine Six Styles.
As long as Scarlett learns even one and a half of them, Kahn will see her determination.
Then, Kahn will give the Paramecia Love Love Fruit to Scarlett.
If Scarlett doesn't have the patience to practice and doesn't want to become stronger, Kahn will keep the Paramecia Love Love Fruit and find her an auxiliary Devil Fruit that is easier to manage and doesn't require much development.
As for the Paramecia Love Love Fruit, it will be reserved for the next family member who is super good-looking and trustworthy.
"Master, this is for you!"
Just at this moment, a timid voice brought Kahn back to his senses.
Looking sideways, Koala, who is only four years old this year, is petite, wearing a maid outfit Robin specially made for her, holding a fruit plate that has been cut and handing it to Kahn.
"Thank you, Koala."
After taking the fruit plate from Koala, Kahn smiled and reached out to touch Koala's little head.
Feeling the touch in his hands, Kahn finally regained the long-lost sense of accomplishment.
"Heehee..."
Koala, who was enjoying Kahn's head pat, felt the kindness and favour of the Master through his warm palm.
This made Koala, who was abducted by human traffickers, saw many people along the way, was whipped by human traffickers, and was frightened like the original Boa sisters, bow her head in fear when seeing strangers, and dare not look directly at others. Her heart of fear was filled with warmth.
With the support of the three seniors and the comfort of Robin, the big sister, Koala, came out of the shadows in just two days and became a member of the Cross Family.
Not only that but at the age of four, she showed a natural talent for maid duties and was accepted as a "disciple" by Robin, who was ready to train her as her deputy.
Additionally, Robin secretly asked Kahn not to take Koala to Wano to hasten her growth but to let Koala grow normally.
In fact, Kahn would do the same even without Robin saying much.
Except for the battle maids, Kahn would only consider accelerating their age if they were girls with a mature mind and their consent.
Otherwise, Kahn would not have recruited a young family member and immediately aged her to eighteen.
Because there is no need for this!
It was a last resort to give Robin and the others the age boost.
Entering the New World early and wanting to develop the Cross Family in this sea of the strongest, Kahn couldn't do it alone.
Now that the chief maid of life and the chief maid of battle are already in place, Kahn only needs to bring new members to the family and let them be responsible for cultivating them.
Koala is just the beginning!
The next morning.
After more than three days of voyage, their Ship once again came to the capital of waters, Water 7, which is known as the holy land of shipbuilding, after three months.
This time, back in the capital of Water 7, Kahn and his group were in no hurry to leave.
The last time they left eagerly was to go to Hancock Island to find the Logia Rumble Fruit.
And now, the team of the Cross Family is complete. This trip back to the first half of the Grand Line is to travel and relax while doing business in West Blue and other sea areas. There is plenty of time.
So, this time, back in the capital of Water 7, Kahn is going to upgrade the workers of their Ship.
