134: Chapter 133 Removing the Nine Heavens HoofprintsJust as Luffy was preparing to continue fighting, Granny New walked down from the stands and steadily ascended the execution platform.Her eyes were fixed intently on Hancock, who was hesitating above her.She shouted in a booming voice, "Still haven't made up your mind, Hancock?This man has such a broad mind, which is enough to prove that he is different from other men.You can try to trust him!"
Hancock stood up from her chair and slowly walked to Luffy, her eyes sharp as she questioned, "You did win this battle.I can remove Margaret's petrification, but I can also offer you another option.I can use my pirate ship to send you back to Sabaody Archipelago, but in that case, Margaret's petrification will remain." With that, Hancock gazed at Luffy expectantly, convinced that once she said those words, the man before her would surely reveal his true colors.
However, Luffy simply grinned, seemingly unconcerned about his predicament.Without hesitation, he replied, "Then I'll trouble you.Please remove Margaret's petrification.As for returning to Sabaody Archipelago, things will work themselves out.We'll find a way back in time." His tone was relaxed yet firm, leaving everyone present astonished.Hancock slowly turned around, her expression unreadable.Since Luffy had already spoken, Hancock waved her arm, instantly removing Margaret's petrification.Then, they led Luffy to the palace.There, Hancock would reveal to Luffy their most unspeakable secrets.
"I'm so hungry!Why can't we eat first?" Luffy squatted on the ground, his face full of grievance, clutching his stomach tightly with both hands.Sania, Mary, and Granny New looked at him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.Just then, Hancock, who had been mentally prepared, took off her clothes and gestured for Luffy to enter.Once inside, Luffy immediately saw Hancock sitting there naked.Hancock herself turned around, gently lifting her hair to reveal the secret hidden behind it."Aha!So this is the legendary Nine Heavens Hoof Mark!What's wrong?Do you want me to help you figure out how to get rid of this annoying thing?Hehe, that's easy!But, I'm telling you first, if I help you solve this problem, you have to treat me to a big meal!" Luffy deliberately feigned sudden realization, then quickly redeemed a magical ointment from his system space that could erase any trace.
Before Hancock could react, Luffy had already smeared the ointment on the spot where the Nine Heavens Hoofprint had been.Hancock felt a sudden cool sensation on her back, but before she could think further, she heard her two sisters peek into the room, followed by a gasp of surprise:
"Wow!Sister, that.that Nine Heavens Hoofprint on your back.it.it's gone!" The two sisters stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.They simply couldn't believe their eyes; the Nine Heavens Hoofprint, so deeply imprinted on Hancock's back, had vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye!
Hancock herself was startled by the sudden change.She quickly turned around and examined herself closely in the mirror.Sure enough, the hideous hoofprint on her back had vanished, replaced by smooth, delicate skin.A surge of joy and gratitude welled up within her, and her gaze towards Luffy softened considerably.
Luffy pulled out two more jade bottles from his pocket and tossed them casually, the liquid landing precisely in the hands of the two sisters.Without hesitation, the sisters opened the bottles and applied the liquid inside to their backs.
As they watched the hoofprints gradually disappear through the mirror, their long-suppressed emotions were finally released, and the three sisters embraced and wept bitterly.Tears flowed like a burst dam, fully expressing their inner pain and joy.
After a while, they gradually calmed down and began to fix their makeup.As they prepared to thank Luffy, they found him staring at them with an extremely strange look.His gaze seemed to contain confusion, surprise, and a hint of barely perceptible embarrassment.
Just then, Granny Niu reminded them, "You three girls, hurry up and put your clothes on!" Her reminder jolted the three sisters awake, realizing they were still naked.A blush instantly spread across their faces, and they hurriedly grabbed their clothes and began to dress.
"Cough cough cough.Luffy, do you know what this thing really means?" Hancock deliberately put on a mysterious and unfathomable look, but before she could finish speaking, Luffy interrupted her without any politeness.
"Oh dear, it's just a slave brand left by the Celestial Dragons!Of course I removed it, no need to explain, I will never look down on you because of it!After all, having this thing on your bodies is enough proof that you suffered persecution from that despicable Celestial Dragon and his Babars.But luckily, someone eventually came to your rescue." Luffy bluntly revealed the whole truth.At this moment, he was already starving and had no time to listen to Hancock's leisurely recounting of the past.
Hearing Luffy's words, Hancock's lips twitched slightly, unsure how to respond.Just then, Granny New entered the room with a newspaper in hand, her expression unusually serious as she asked, "Boy, are you sure you were really just accidentally photographed?""Did you come from here?You've caused a huge disaster!Not only that, you were hunted down by three admirals from Marine Headquarters.It's unbelievable that you managed to escape unscathed under such circumstances."
As she spoke, Granny New threw the newspaper in front of everyone.The three Hancock sisters curiously leaned over to take a look, and then they were completely stunned.Luffy, looking utterly bewildered, picked at his ear and said, "What I said is all true.As for why I'm here, it's because the Shichibukai Kuma is my father Dragon's subordinate.It's only right that he saves me, his young master."
The group felt that what had happened today was quite crazy.Granny New continued to question, "So it's true that you beat up a Celestial Dragon?" Luffy shrugged, waved his hand, and a black vortex appeared.The Celestial Dragon's corpse fell to the ground.Luffy pointed at the corpse and said, "I didn't just beat him up, look, I also killed one!"
