Chapter 96 - Chapter 96

Seeing the three women being silenced, Luffy quickly escaped from the crowd of women.

After taking a breath, he pulled Ain over and hugged her on his lap, took out the key from his pocket and put it in her palm.

"Stop arguing and look at what this is."

The girls' eyes were instantly drawn to it. When they saw the key in Ain's hand,

Hina and Kujaku's eyes lit up and they said in surprise:

"Is this a key for a new house?!"

"That's right." Luffy smiled and nodded heavily

"So stop arguing, pack up what needs to be packed, buy what needs to be bought, and we're moving today!"

"Great!"

Nami cheered, and quickly left everyone behind to go back to her room to clean up.

Ain also smiled and broke away from Luffy's arms, and got busy with Hina and Kujaku.

Hancock looked at them with envy as they left, and sat next to Luffy and leaned on him.

"Luffy"

""Hmm~"

Luffy hugged her gently and made a nasal sound.

Hancock buried her head in the man's chest in a depressed mood and said sullenly:

"After these Shichibukai meetings, I don't want to go back to Amazon Lily for the time being."

Luffy was shocked, looked down at her in surprise, and asked in confusion:

"What about your people? You are their empress. They won't die without you, but this is a big deal. You should at least discuss it with your sisters and some high-ranking officials in the kingdom."

Hancock snorted proudly, nudging Luffy with her little head.

"No, no, I am the empress, I can do whatever I want!"

"Okay, okay, you are the empress and you have the final say." Luffy rubbed her hair with a smile and comforted her repeatedly.

Hancock calmed down and stopped acting like a spoiled child.

In this way, the two of them snuggled together and enjoyed the warm time in silence.

Just when Luffy thought Hancock had made up her mind and decided to follow him around the world, she suddenly changed her mind.

"How about I pass the throne to Sonia?"

Luffy was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Is this a trivial issue that can be decided in a few words?

'You, the empress, are too willful.'

"Well, don't say such willful words, if you want to follow me, just follow me.

At most, we can go back every once in a while."

"Oh, that's right."

Hancock didn't respond after that. She sniffed the reassuring scent on Luffy's body and gradually fell asleep.

Luffy patted her back gently as if coaxing a child.

After she fell asleep, he carefully carried her back to the bedroom and covered her with a quilt.

Looking at the sleeping beauty falling asleep on the bed, Luffy kissed her forehead gently, and walked out of the room after seeing her smile happily.

Standing in the corridor, he rubbed his chin and looked back at the closed door, as if something was missing.

"Eh? Where's Hancock's snake? Didn't it follow him onto the ship? Where did it go now?"

At the port, Salome, who had just woken up from a dream, looked at the empty warship, tilted her head in confusion, and three question marks appeared on her head.

Where's the master?

As the time of the meeting approached, the atmosphere at the Marine Headquarters gradually became solemn.

One by one, the big shots who were only seen in newspapers gathered at the headquarters.

In order to deter the unruly Seven Warlords of the Sea, Sengoku not only kept Kizaru and Aokiji at the headquarters.

He also called back the older generations such as Garp and Tsuru to take charge.

And Luffy, as the rear admiral of the Marine Headquarters and the main contributor to destroying Crocodile's conspiracy, was also asked to attend this meeting.

In the large conference room of the headquarters, a huge white round table was placed in the middle.

Three less famous vice admirals sat down in a formal and orderly manner, sorting out the documents that would be used in the meeting.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the conference room. Here it comes - the sound of high heels stepping on the ground.

Upon hearing the sound, the three of them subconsciously looked back, and then they couldn't take their eyes off.

Hancock, who returned to the room arranged by the marine last night and was unable to stay at Luffy's house, was in a very bad mood because she had a meeting today.

When she came here with her pet snake Salome with a gloomy face, what caught her eyes were three stinky men who were staring at her blankly.

She frowned, pointed without thinking, and without her command, Salome rushed up and slapped the three men with a flick of her tail.

The three people who were awakened were shocked, and then they realized what stupid things they had just done. They quickly lowered their heads and dared not look at the people coming.

Seeing that they took the initiative to admit their mistakes, Hancock snorted and sat down at the seat marked with her name.

She wanted to close her eyes and take a nap, but suddenly a sinister voice forced her to open her eyes.

"Fufufu~ Look who this is?

The Marine is so great that they even manage invited the most beautiful woman in the world.

It turns out that the Pirate Queen is also afraid of the Marine's threats and was forced to attend this meeting."

Hancock looked at the person who was speaking with cold eyes.

He is a blonde wearing sunglasses, wearing a flirtatious pink feather coat, a fancy shirt, cropped pants, and black loafers.

He squatted on a chair with a very arrogant look on his face.

"Shut up, you rude guy, who allowed you to talk to me!"

Hancock, who was already in a bad mood, retorted directly.

Doflamingo, who was choked, was not angry, but smiled and watched her close her eyes again. After she ignore him, he looked away. He glanced around and ignored the three useless marine men at the same table.

After discovering that the only one among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, except for the two of them, was the blue-skinned fishman, he unexpectedly began to divert his attention.

"Jinbei, you are here too.

With Whitebeard as your backer, are you still afraid of the marine?

Or is that old man no longer good enough and he can't be relied on?"

Jinbei, a tall whale shark with two exposed fangs, turned his sharp eyes after hearing his words.

"This is my personal matter and has nothing to do with my father.

Doflamingo, this is not Dressrosa, keep your mouth shut."

"Fufufu~ Why are you so angry?

Anyway, everyone hasn't arrived yet, why not take advantage of this moment to have some fun."

With his unique laughter and an evil smile on his lips, Doflamingo almost wrote"I am a bad guy" on his face. Jinbei looked at him with disgust, frowned, and began to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, not taking him seriously.

Seeing that one by one they were giving him the cold shoulder, Doflamingo also felt a little angry in his heart.

The fingers on his leg moved, and a tiny thread that was invisible to the naked eye was ready to go, as if it would launch an attack at the next moment.

"Stop, I'm not here to watch you fight and waste time."

A deep and magnetic voice suddenly came from outside, and Doflamingo looked back in surprise.

Dracule Mihawk's figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.

With him came Gekko Moriah, who was as fat as a ball and is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Hehehe, why should we stop them, Hawkeye?

If one of these two can die here, my Shadow Army will have another great general."
