Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　As for the Empress, she is quite powerful and is also a user of Haki.

　However, since the summoning period lasts for three days, Ye Chen did want to...

　"I wonder what will happen if this Pirate Empress appears in the world."

　Ye Chen only thought for a moment before decisively using the character card.

　The card floated in the air, motionless.

　Immediately afterwards, streaks of eye-catching pink light emanated from the center of the card and spread outwards.

　A captivating floral fragrance suddenly filled the air, and the pink light grew increasingly intense, maintaining its shape roughly like a human before slowly fading away.

　(1/2)

　A few breaths later, a tall and beautiful woman emerged from the dazzling light.

　This is a woman with an extremely exaggerated yet captivating figure, possessing almost all the desirable qualities of a woman.

　When a woman sees jealousy, she might even become unrecognizable.

　Men were driven mad by this, willing to go to any lengths, even becoming sycophants.

　She possessed unparalleled beauty, dressed in an elegant rose-red slit cheongsam, with long, straight, jet-black hair, deep blue eyes, exquisite features, and adorned with a pair of snake-shaped gold earrings.

　She emerged from the hazy light, bathed in the most dazzling radiance in the world, as if she were the sole recipient of heaven and earth's favor.

　With her arrival, everything around her—the blue sky, white clouds, mountains, and vegetation—became her backdrop; everything served to accentuate her beauty.

　Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, has arrived! Even Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat when he saw Boa Hancock so close to him.

　This isn't to say he lacked willpower, but rather that the woman's allure caused a primal physical reaction.

　In other words, the brain is offline, and each part of the body is doing its own thing.

　Just like the legendary Siberian husky! Boa Hancock walked gracefully towards us, her beautiful eyes filled with affection, a gentle smile playing on her lips.

　In Ye Chen's eyes, she made a very familiar gesture! "Whatever I do will be forgiven, because I am simply too beautiful!"

　After saying that, Boa Hancock struck that classic pose of utter contempt for all living beings.

　Head drooping, face upward, fingers pointing to the sky, waist bent at a ninety-degree angle parallel to the ground.

　"Hey, that's enough!"

　"So capable!"

　Ye Chen couldn't help but say

　As soon as she finished speaking, Hancock immediately resumed her original posture, revealing a very beautiful smile, and said excitedly, "Pray, bless, witness this moment, traversing time and space to connect two worlds, the only queen of this world, I pay my respects to my king!"

　"Wait, what did you say, Queen Hancock?"

　Ye Chen asked

　"Something's not right with this script," Hancock said seriously. "Anyone who possesses Conqueror's Haki is recognized as having the potential to be a king. I sense an extremely powerful and unique Haki emanating from you."

　Moreover, it was you who summoned me, so you are naturally my king.

　After hearing this, Ye Chen felt the reason was a bit far-fetched and asked, "What's your understanding of this world? Don't you ever wonder why you're here?"

　The last time I summoned Shanks, he acted perfectly normal! He has an independent personality and memories.

　Something just doesn't feel right here with Hancock.

　"I only know that you are my king, and I will obey all your requests."

　A moment of confusion flashed in Hancock's eyes, then she said earnestly and firmly.

　Ye Chen noticed this sudden change and roughly understood Hancock's situation.

　Because of the character card summoning, Hancock's memories may have been altered, perhaps to better adapt to this world.

　The summoning of the red-haired man had only taken an hour; at that time, Ye Chen was weak and naturally didn't notice any significant changes.

Chapter 382 Beauty is a Curse

　Is this content being published for the first time? (First update)

　The Land of Water is located on the easternmost edge of the Land of Fire, practically right on the seashore. Across the sea lies the Land of Water.

　A large ship sailed from the seas of the Land of Fire towards the territory of the Land of Water.

　These are merchants from the Land of Water traveling to and from the Land of Fire for trade! There's no other way; among the five great nations, the Land of Fire has the highest per capita income and the most prosperous commerce, so those who see business opportunities flock there to seek their fortune.

　Although this is a ninja world, it's not just about ninjas.

　Conversely, ninjas constituted less than 10% of the population, making them a very small minority.

　This ratio is roughly one hundred to one, which is enough to illustrate the point.

　Practicing ninjutsu and refining chakra is not something everyone can do, which naturally leads to the existence of ordinary people.

　In reality, the people who control the ninja world are still ordinary people, namely the daimyo, similar to the positions of castle lords in ancient times.

　To some extent, ninjas were merely tools serving the daimyo! This situation was only broken with the appearance of the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju.

　The ninja and the daimyo reached some kind of agreement, something like equality.

　However, with the expansion of human ambition, this kind of equality is actually quite useless.

　In the five great nations, the politics of the two nations of Lightning and Water are controlled by ninjas, who occupy a dominant position in their countries due to their formidable strength.

　The Land of Rain during the Second Shinobi World War is another typical example; otherwise, the Akatsuki organization wouldn't have been formed later.

　No oppression, no resistance—this principle couldn't be more straightforward! (Water Kingdom merchant ship)

　The ship carried only about twenty people, and their backgrounds were quite varied; there were all sorts of people on board.

　Men, women, the elderly, children, and even the ninja Yoruichi were on this ship; his destination was the Land of Water.

　To avoid drawing too much attention, given his reputation, he made some effort to dress up.

　He was dressed in a wide, black robe, with a long, slanted belt around his waist and a katana at the waist. He wore wooden clogs, looking every bit the part of a ronin samurai! Beside him, Empress Hancock stood respectfully, her gaze filled with adoration, her eyes sparkling as if they held the stars, a light that could melt away everything in the world.

　Of course, to prevent the Empress's Devil Fruit ability from being triggered passively, Ye Chen still had Hancock wear a straw hat and veil.

　Even so, Hancock's striking figure frequently attracted attention; she was simply too captivating! Beautiful women are prone to trouble, and this applies everywhere, especially with a woman as alluring as Hancock.

　It was midday, lunchtime on the merchant ship, and most passengers would go to the designated area for lunch.

　This is a large commercial vessel, owned by a wealthy merchant from the Land of Water, whose businesses span many regions of the five great nations.

　Therefore, even though the dining area is luxurious and grand, those who can board this ship are basically people of extraordinary status.

　Either you have connections, or you have money! Ye Chen belongs to the latter. Over the years, he's accumulated countless bounties; he's never counted them and has no concept of it, but he's simply very wealthy.

　Each meal is served at a private table, minimizing disturbance. Soft classical music plays in the main hall, and the uniform silver tableware adds a touch of elegance and sophistication.

　"My king, please allow me to serve you!"

　Hancock said solicitously, her beautiful eyes sparkling as she looked at Ye Chen with fervent affection.

　(1/3)

　"Need not"

　nb

　Ye Chen shook his head and continued eating.

　"As expected of a king, so extraordinary, truly worthy of being the king I have chosen. I am truly happy."

　Hancock blushed charmingly, her mind racing with countless images, her heart fluttering.

　To exaggerate a bit, given Hancock's unconventional personality and wildly imaginative mind, she might have already thought of names for her future children.

　After all, this is the world of anime; what's impossible? Ye Chen enjoyed his lunch while listening to music, and was in a very good mood.

　However, this comfort did not last long, as soon as his Observation Haki detected an unknown malice.

　Before long, a young man dressed like a playboy, accompanied by two servants, walked to their table.

　This young playboy was just like the typical troublemaker in the script—arrogant and disdainful of everyone.

　Ye Chen glanced at her indifferently, already guessing what would happen next—it would all be because of the woman! With Hancock around, sooner or later some overconfident people would try to take advantage of her.

　The arrogant young master said, "Your woman, come with me obediently!"

　Hancock frowned upon hearing this.

　Ye Chen ignored the纨绔 (playboy) and continued enjoying his exquisite lunch.

　Not everyone was worth his time; in his eyes, this man was nothing more than a clown.

　Two servants in black stepped forward, gesturing for them to leave! The hot-tempered Hancock abruptly stood up, shouting, "Insolent fool, get out of my way!"

　While speaking, he once again used the classic gesture: one hand on his hip, the other pointing at someone, and his head tilted back.

　That… pose of utter contempt for all living beings reappeared! The veil and hat that concealed her peerless beauty fell to the ground due to gravity! At that moment, all eyes were fixed on her! They stared intently at Empress Hancock, motionless.

　She's so beautiful! How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world?

　Thump, thump, thump! Apart from the rapid beating of hearts, the entire restaurant was completely silent. Everyone held their breath, afraid to miss such a beautiful scene.

　As for that… the playboy's eyes widened, his face burning with desire and madness.

　Hancock returned to normal, looking down at everyone with disdain, seemingly oblivious to their gazes.
