I'm Not Interested in Devil Fruits

Robin laughed lightly as she spoke, "If there's no hair gel, it won't be easy unless you do it yourself." 

At that moment, Hancock slowly walked back from the bow, moving gracefully and beautifully, her movements controlled by the snake venom. 

With a click, her high heels stopped right in front of Liam. Mission Complete, Liam didn't speak and Hancock regained control of her body. 

She was slightly out of breath, her chest rising and falling. Just when Liam thought she might scold him, or at least pretend to, Hancock acted as if nothing had happened. 

She casually tucked her hair behind her ear, then looked at Jolyne, who still seemed lost in thought. Hancock reached out, wrapped her five fingers in the dark Busoshoku Haki (Armament Haki), and lifted Jolyne's face armor... 

"What exactly are you doing?" Hancock asked, looking at Jolyne and then at Giorno. When she saw that they didn't object, she snorted and put the facial armor over her own face. 

A faint light flickered through the small eyes of the mask, and B.I.B. silently adjusted the memory playback, bringing up the appropriate scene. 

Once Hancock donned the mask, she focused on using Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) and was surprised to see a different vision through the mask... 

The environment seemed to be inside the Ghost City Fortress? Wait, is this me from a few years ago? Why am I being beaten up? Is this... Giorno's memory replay? 

In an instant, Hancock understood what Giorno had been doing in the library. Everything that had happened to him and his ghost could be replayed like this... 

But... Why did Jolyne want to see the memory where I lost a battle to Giorno? 

Hancock's angry expression left Robin confused. After learning the reason, she quickly explained, "I didn't mean it like that, I was just looking at books in the Torino Kingdom library..." 

Hancock refocused her attention on the mask's eyes and indeed saw books being turned over. The images slowed and froze, clearly showing densely packed text and illustrations of plants on a page... 

Liam reached out and removed the mask from her face, pointing to the pirate ship in the distance in front of the Kuja pirate ship. The pirate ship had suddenly turned and seemed to be making a hasty escape. 

The female warriors on the deck perked up and urged the two towing snake, to speed up and chase after it. 

"Go, capture the pirate ship." 

Liam gave another command with the snakehead venom, worried that it might not be enough. He also transformed a strand of hair hanging from his forehead into a long snake and bit Hancock's other earlobe, adding another dose. 

A hint of pink appeared on Hancock's pale skin. Liam shifted his gaze and thought, "This is really hard! I'm really working hard to satisfy this girl's peculiar preference. 

Before Hancock moved, Liam thought for a moment and set a condition, adding, "Only use your legs to attack. 

Hancock's body moved on its own. 

Following Liam's command, she was the first to jump onto the deck of the pirate ship as soon as the two ships were close. 

On the dirty, chaotic deck of the pirate ship, the pirates were in a panic. 

"It's... it's them..." 

"The Kuja Pirates!" 

"The notorious all-female pirate crew..." 

As the women continued to jump onto the pirate ship, the pirates, who had initially feared the Kuja crew due to their notorious reputation, gradually replaced that fear with greed as they gazed at the alluring and graceful warriors, each with a different figure and mesmerizing beauty... 

Sandersonia looked at the pirates with some disappointment, "These are the pirates from outside the sea?" 

Marigold said, "So weak! And they don't even look good..." 

Totally the opposite of Giorno! 

"Damn it! It's just a few women!" The pirate who appeared to be the captain licked his chapped lips. "Just perfect, after we finish this, we'll go straight to Magnify Island, maybe we can even marry a princess... hehehe!" 

But no pirate answered him. Everyone stared at the tall figure in amazement. 

"She's so beautiful..." 

"Even if we die now, it's worth it..." 

The pirates muttered to themselves, almost drooling.

"Hey! You useless bastards!" The pirate captain exploded in anger. 

Hancock had no interest in what they said, nor did she care about their stares or ugly expressions. She didn't even bother to give them a dirty look. 

Although she really wanted to turn these ugly creatures to stone, her body obediently followed Giorno's orders... 

As she walked casually across the deck of the pirate ship, Hancock kicked each of them off the ship as if they were just small rocks in her path, whether they were pirates frozen in infatuation or the angry pirate captain. 

The pirates' eyes rolled back and blood spilled from their mouths as they fell like raindrops into the sea. 

Having completed her task, Hancock quietly returned to her ship. The remaining Kuja warriors began to gather the spoils from the enemy ship. 

Sandersonia whispered, "Nee San (Elder Sister) seems a bit strange..." 

"Really? Isn't Nee San always like that?" Marigold cheerfully pulled her younger sister along. "Sonia, come on, help us move this stuff! It looks like there's a lot!" 

Hancock returned to the Kuja ship. Liam didn't say anything and of course took the Medusa chip out of his body and gave it back to Hancock. 

"I'm so hungry. I wonder how long it will be before we reach the next island..." Liam spoke to Robin. 

Hancock walked beside her. She noticed that Jolyne had casually put the facial armor back on her face, blending in with Giorno's dark, ghostly visage... 

B.I.B. seemed to sense something, turning his head. Through the narrow, glowing eyes, he saw Hancock turning back. 

I really want to see their memories before they came to Kuja... Hancock walked with her head down, then, just before entering the Snake Princess' room, she suddenly turned and asked, "Would you... think less of me if I did this?" 

"What?" Liam asked, confused. Robin glanced at him and blinked. 

Hancock glanced at both of them, then immediately said, "Never mind!" and entered the Snake Princess' room. 

Liam and Robin exchanged looks. After returning to their own room, they could vaguely hear Hancock's footsteps pacing back and forth in the room next door. 

Thud, thud, thud. The footsteps seemed to follow them as they slowly moved toward their door. 

Whoosh! 

The door was suddenly flung open. Hancock stood in the doorway, hands on her hips, looking elsewhere. 

"Though you're beautiful, standing in the doorway without moving— what are you trying to do?" Liam said, speechless. 

Hancock took a deep breath and walked in. The door behind her seemed to bloom and sprout arms, closing itself. 

Hancock stepped forward slowly, sitting down in front of the two of them. Neither Liam nor Robin spoke. In their gaze, Hancock's proud demeanor slowly broke down, and she lowered her head. Her long hair fell forward, and she covered her face, her muffled voice slipping through her fingers: "Do you... look down on me?" 

Robin chuckled helplessly. 

"Is that it?" Liam said, speechless.
