I, Broly, began by destroying the pirate world.

48 You're too easy to win over!

Shakky's Bamboo Bar, Area 13, Sabaody Archipelago.

As soon as Torituma hung up the phone with Broly, she turned to Hancock beside her and reminded her, "Lord Broly is coming over later, show him some respect, you hear me?"

Upon hearing Broly's name, Hancock immediately lowered her head, softly humming in agreement, her cheeks flushed with an unconcealable blush.

Compared to her cold and aloof demeanor three months ago, it's a world of difference.

Behind the bar, Shakky, puffing on a cigarette, glanced at the two of them and clicked her tongue: "Kids these days are so precocious. But I wonder if being obsessed with Broly is a good thing or a bad thing."

For the past three months, Toritoma and Hancock have basically stayed in her bar without moving an inch.

"Shaqi, what do you want to say?"

On the other side of the sofa, Grandma Za squinted and spoke, saying that in this small bar, four emperors of Amazon Lily had gathered together.

"The world government has been able to maintain its rule for eight hundred years, it must have some trump cards up its sleeve."

Shakky exhaled a smoke ring and said slowly, "Broly is strong, but in the end, he's just one person. To kill someone, you don't necessarily have to fight them head-on, do you? For example, have you forgotten how Rocks was defeated?"

Upon hearing this, Grandma and Toritoma's faces immediately darkened.

It goes without saying how powerful Rocks was back then, but in the end he still fell into Im's hands and became a puppet to be manipulated at will.

No one expected that Rocks' final fate would be like that.

Hancock was completely bewildered, tilting her head with a face full of question marks—she had never even heard of the name Rocks.

After a few seconds of silence, Grandma Zha said in a deep voice, "Broly's strength is far greater than Rocks'."

"Strong as he may be, he's not immortal."

Shakky took another drag of her cigarette, the butt almost burning her fingers. "I've retired and should theoretically not interfere in Kuja's affairs anymore, but I still want to say, sister, putting all your eggs in one basket with Broly is too risky. Those guys at the World Government, how many dirty tricks do they have? They could easily poison him; can you guarantee Broly won't fall for it?"

The bar fell silent again.

Yes, the Kuja Pirates are now completely cornered.

Just then, the bar door was pushed open with a bang.

Xia Qi didn't even look up, casually retorting, "Oh, you've lost it all so quickly?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her expression froze instantly. The cigarette she was holding shook, and the ash fell onto the back of her hand, burning her. She didn't even realize it.

She thought it was Rayleigh, who had been out gambling for several days, who had returned, but instead, it was Broly who had been on the phone with Toritoma just five minutes before!

"Lord Broly?!"

Toritoma and Hancock were so startled they almost fell off the sofa, and Grandma also straightened up abruptly, looking completely incredulous.

Broly plopped down on the sofa next to him with a nonchalant air. "Why are you all acting like you've seen a ghost?"

Toritoma forced a dry laugh: "N-no, it's just that you arrived way too fast..."

Are you kidding me!

The newspaper clearly stated that Broly should be in the Kingdom of Sorbe in the South China Sea right now!

In less than five minutes, they've arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago?

Even with a smooth journey, it would take at least two months to get here from the South China Sea!

"It's alright, it just took a bit of time asking around at the dock," Broly said nonchalantly.

Broly first arrived at the dock where the Kuja Pirates gathered in Area 41. The female pirates on the ship told him that Hancock and the others were there, and then he came over.

Upon hearing this, the four "Queens of the Women's Kingdom" in the bar were all dumbfounded.

According to Broly, it took him some time to get from the dock to the bar, which means he probably only took less than two minutes, or even less, to fly from the South China Sea to the end of the first half of the Grand Line!

Broly, on the other hand, wasn't surprised at all.

Gotenks could circle the Earth several times in just a few seconds, so he felt his speed was actually quite slow.

Xia Qi's fingers, which were holding the cigarette, trembled uncontrollably; she felt as if she had been slapped across the face.

Broly's strength is a hundred times more terrifying than she imagined!

She was about to light another cigarette to calm her nerves when, just as her hand touched the lighter, she felt Broly's gaze fixed intently on her.

Shakky paused, "Um, Mr. Broly, is there...something wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Broly grinned. "I just want to see what the legendary Supreme Succubus looks like."

"The Supreme Succubus?"

Toritoma and Grandma Za exchanged a glance, their expressions turning strange.

But on second thought, this title actually suits Xia Qi quite well.

Back in the day, every man in the ocean, no, the whole world, was like a drug addict whenever they saw Xia Qi.

Xia Qi opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Fortunately, Broly's attention quickly shifted to Hancock. He pointed to the little girl huddled in the corner of the sofa and gestured with his chin towards Toritoma: "By the way, what's up with this girl?"

Torituma quickly reached out and gently pushed Hancock from behind.

Hancock lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes with her small hands, remaining silent for a long time. Broly, growing increasingly impatient, finally managed to stammer out a soft, trembling question: "B-Broly, from now on... can I go on adventures with you?"

Broly was stunned.

Isn't this the same approach Hancock used on Luffy in the original work? Why is she applying it all to herself?

The last time we met, this girl was indifferent to me. How come she's changed so much in just three months?

He instinctively raised his hand and touched Hancock's forehead.

Hancock screamed as if she'd been burned, her face flushed, and she jumped back several steps.

Broly pointed at her and asked the others, "What's wrong with her?"

"This is a serious problem; it's lovesickness."

The mother-in-law complained, "All four women in this house have had this disease."

"During these past few months apart, I've been staying with Shakky and Hancock."

Toritoma explained, "I took her to see those guys from the World Government every day, especially the slave auction house."

She paused, then continued, "This girl witnessed the true nature of the Celestial Dragons firsthand, saw the true nature of this world, and understood the greatness of Lord Broly. This morning she saw the news in the newspaper, and then..."

Broly finally understood.

Isn't this just a copy of Luffy's strategy to win over Hancock in the original work?

Although Hancock wasn't captured and enslaved like in the original story, watching the Celestial Dragons lord it over for more than two months must have left her with just as much trauma as she did in the original story—don't forget, she's still just a little girl under ten years old.

Seeing the Celestial Dragons' inhuman behavior, and recalling how Broly treated those Celestial Dragons like Wano Country people, I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

Today's newspapers are nothing more than the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Goodness, he's managed to steal the young girl's heart without her even realizing it?

Broly looked at Hancock's blushing and awkward expression, unsure whether to be happy or not.

You're too easy to win over!
