Chapter 216

The moment has come to say goodbye to his first wife. Tears welled up in Hancock's eyes, but she controlled herself and only hugged her husband tighter. Everyone around decided to move away for a while and give them time. The Empress's ship was already preparing to leave. The Boa sisters, as well as the entire team, have already completed the training camp. It remains only to wait for your captain.

The couple stood in silence on the dock. The crimson rays of the setting sun brushed Hancock's delicate skin, warming her back. Mor gently stroked his wife's hair and whispered:

- You can handle it, maybe after the last days I managed to leave a part of myself in you. Understand?

Hancock immediately pulled away and asked in surprise:

- You think so?

“Perhaps,” Mor shrugged. “I did it with everyone, but with you much more and more often. Anything can happen, you just need to wait.

The girl's cheeks immediately turned pink and happy lights sparkled in her eyes:

- I'll be waiting! If we didn't succeed ... Promising that you will do it again!

- As long as it takes, I promise my dear little wife. - the pirate grinned.

Hancock kissed him gently on the lips and whispered in his ear:

- Be careful. I don’t lean heavily on Aliya, you have more girls after all. Plus, don't forget who's the first! Understood?!

- Yes, captain! - saluted the famous Yonko.

Hancock laughed loudly and ran to the ship.

- Look at me! You are now my husband, you have responsibilities!

Mor nodded smiling.

The sails were raised. The ship departed. Hancock stood and smiled at her beloved, and when the distance between them grew so far that it became difficult to distinguish faces, Hancock waved at James and then burst into tears. The sisters immediately rushed to console her.

- Sis, what are you doing? Marigold panicked.

- Y-yes ... It's okay! Let's go! - Shrugging off, Hancock ran into the cabin.

At the same time, Mor sighed heavily. Farewell is definitely not his favorite thing to do ...

As soon as the Empress's ship disappeared over the horizon, the man turned and walked towards his team. Now they are all gathered on a distant hill under a long canopy. Not long ago, pirates were drinking here, but now it is empty.

Once seated at the table, the team was finally fully assembled for the first time in a long time. Everyone was present, even Yong and Sargon sat down opposite each other, only one seat was still empty - the seat at the head of the table. Outsiders, of course, were not allowed, only all members of the Blood Star team. All as one serious, no one touched a drink, everyone was waiting for the captain. The preparations for the legendary battle began here. The Blood Star Pirates were not going to rush into battle thoughtlessly, they had to plan as far as possible and, if possible, catch the enemy by surprise. At least one of those present thought so ... Kaido is still Yonko, even if Mor defeated one, the other should not be underestimated.

With a scowl, the Sea Devil took his place at the head of the table and examined those present one by one. On his right hand is Zoro, in his green coat and three katanas. Nami in a tight bikini and a dagger at the waist. Smiling Robin with the usual carelessness on her face and in a beautiful tight top. The golden-haired beauty Alia in a silver bikini and a white cap. Next is a long-legged and long-armed Charlie in a hat and yellow shirt. The guitar was still resting behind his long back. At the end of the table, Yong sat in his usual cloak covering a lonely wing. Nearby lay his silver ax, all in anticipation of a glorious battle.

To the left of the Sea Devil sat Sanji in the same white shirt and a cigarette in his mouth. Next is the big man North in some black pants and sunglasses. Next comes the barefoot Sargon in some gray pajamas and a ginger cat on his shoulder. All the Blood Star Pirates are here!

Mor nodded contentedly and pushed the glass of wine closer. After parting, the mood is not so hot ...

After taking a couple of sips, the man finally spoke:

- Dragon is going to attack Marijoa, we are going to battle on Kaido. You will not be able to get a poneglyph without spilled blood. The King of Beasts is renowned for his ferocity and unbridled desire for battle.

Zoro grinned and put in a word.

- We are also not made of paper. Where there is a battle - there I am always!

"Don't forget about the others," Sanji chuckled. "And by the way ... How do you know about Dragon's move?"

- Karasu ... - Mor grimaced with displeasure: - I would have slapped him for impudence, but Hancock asked him to let go. He gave me a message, just from our friend - Monkey D. Dragon. He didn't actually say anything new. I was counting on problems with the Government anyway. They clearly would not have ignored the fight with Kaido. After defeating Lingling, they definitely won't sit back. Now they are being pushed from both sides. Dragon himself expects that the forces of the enemy are divided. Therefore, we may not be close friends, but we can be considered allies in some way. Dragon will take over the homeland of Tenrjubito - a rather dangerous move. Especially when you consider the hidden forces of the enemy, which we do not even suspect. It's easier for us ...

- Monkey? - suddenly a surprised exclamation was heard. All eyes were directed towards Us. The girl blinked and asked:

"Isn't that funny guy in that straw hat Monkey?"

"Exactly." Sanji nodded. "There's also Monkey D. Garp." Is there something that connects them?

Mor nodded.

- Exactly. Grandfather, son and grandson. Garp is naturally the oldest here, and Dragon, in turn, is Luffy's father.

“In business,” North whistled.

- Yeah, well, the boy's legacy. With such and such relatives it is not surprising that he is so impudent. - Zoro laughed: - Ha, although I like him!

"Yes, Luffy is a nice guy," Sanji agreed.

Alia asked in surprise:

- Wow, have you finally stopped swearing?

- With him then? Zoro glanced sideways at Sanji and only snorted in annoyance. Kok responded similarly. Alia just giggled and looked at the captain:

- So what's the plan?

“Nothing too complicated,” Mor stood up and said with complete seriousness, “Enemy of Yonko. Kaido is unpredictable. Since his voyage on the Rocks ship, he has definitely become a different person. Simple cabin boy reached such heights. The Wano country is also not an open territory. One thing is clear - Kaido himself is dangerous, and so is his team. He could well have united with our enemy. I have already finished off one of the important people in the government, but who knows what else is up their sleeve. According to Dragon, the forces of the patrol are being pulled up towards the country of the samurai. This means that a battle between two Yonko can grow into a battle of at least four people of this level. Yeon and I may well run into Kaido and Sakazuki, or maybe Kong. This is only the best case. You should be wary of the admirals and stars of the Beasts pirates. I patted a couple of admirals, but there is at least one more hidden and that couple could have already recovered. The forces of the enemy are dimly known, but we cannot retreat. In any case, we are not just going to fight. We need a poneglyph, this is the main purpose of the trip to Onigashima. The only problem is that we do not know at all where it can be stored. This complicates things, but penetration is already a belated method. So go to the break!

- Yes! - the guys immediately supported their captain, and Nami just rolled her eyes and shook her head: - And why are you crucifying? Where's the plan anyway? We're just going to break into the Yonko and take the poneglyph.

- Well, yes, - Mor laughed furiously and slammed his fist on the table: - We'll fill up and take our own, damn it! We are Team Bloodstar, the worst thugs of all the seas!

Loud laughter from the team immediately shook the lonely hill. They finally got ready to hit the road!
