Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

"I understand. I will definitely work hard!" Hancock clenched her fists and looked at Meilai, a trace of determination on her face!

Hancock thought to herself that as long as she could become the empress, she could become the captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

Then she will be able to go out to sea!

"I believe you can do it, come on!" Meilai looked at Hancock and felt relieved.

Finally, Milai asked Jellal, "Jellal, do you need anything else here?"

Hearing this, Jellal scratched his head and thought for a while, then said, "I don't need anything for now, Sister Milai, you should have a method to practice Haki, right? I want to learn Haki!"

"Of course there is, and the domineering cultivation method of our Nine Snake Island is also top-notch! I will bring it to you tomorrow. Okay, you guys continue eating, I'm leaving first!" Mei Lai left after saying that.

Almost all Amazon Lily are domineering, so she agreed to Jellal's request without even thinking about it.

"Congratulations, the future Empress Hancock!" Gerald said with a smile.

"That's great, sister. Once you become the empress, we can go to sea with a legitimate reason!" Sandasonia said excitedly.

"It's really too sudden. I didn't expect that I could become a candidate for the empress. But I will work hard. One piece. I also want to fight for it!" Hancock looked up at the sky, her eyes shining with excitement and anticipation!

"I also believe you can do it, Hancock!" Jellal came to Hancock and looked up at the sky together.

Just now, Jellal saw Hancock's strong ambition in her eyes!

It is now the year 1502 in the Sea Calendar, the fourth year of the Great Pirate Era!

The appearance of Jellal changed the fate of the three Boa sisters, making them candidates for the empress ahead of time.

If Jellal had not appeared, the three Boa sisters would have been captured when they went out to sea in 1503 of the Martian Calendar, and would not be rescued until the fishman Tiger caused trouble in Marijoa.

Now Gerald is 9 years old and Hancock is 11 years old.

…………

A few days later, someone from the palace came to take away the three Boa sisters, and Jellal's small courtyard became quiet.

"It's time for me to start practicing. I need to strengthen my physique first. Only when my physique is strong can I practice easily!" After making up his mind, Gerard ran to the blacksmith shop on the street.

In front of the blacksmith shop, a muscular middle-aged woman was forging arrows. Almost everyone in Amazon Lily's weapons are bows and arrows, so the demand for arrows is very great.

The blacksmith's name was Kayla, and Hancock introduced him to her. Kayla was the best blacksmith on the island!

I just don’t like taking baths…

"Keira! Can I ask you a favor?" Gerard asked when he came to the blacksmith shop.

"It's little Jellal, what can I do for you?" When Kira saw Jellal coming, she stopped swinging the hammer and started smoking.

"I want you to help me make some weight-bearing equipment that can be worn on the body, probably like the one above. I'm going to start training my physical fitness!" As he said that, Gerard took out the drawings he had drawn in advance and handed them to Keira.

As Kayla picked up the blueprint, she said, "You're really working hard, Jellal. Keep it up! I can make something like what you drew, and I can help you improve it. Just come and get it tomorrow."

Gerard was very happy to hear that his weighted suit could do the job, as it was the easiest way he could think of to train his physique.

From now on, except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, he plans to wear a weight-bearing suit all the time!

"Thank you, Kira! I'll leave first and come back to get it tomorrow!" Gerard said goodbye to Kira and ran towards the beach.

It's still early today, and Jellal is going to the beach to train his resistance to seawater and the development of his devil fruit!

Coming to the shallows of a bay and looking at the azure water, Gerard recalled his experience a few days ago. Fortunately, the storm was not big and did not overturn his raft.

"Fight! Only those who fight hard can win!"

Gerard walked into the sea with firm steps. As soon as he touched the water, he felt weak and powerless, and almost fell into the sea.

Fortunately, it is still acceptable. Thanks to the experiment conducted by Golden Lion and others, Gerard himself has discovered in the past few days that his physical condition is rapidly improving!

He sat down cross-legged directly, enduring the discomfort, and began to activate the ability of the fruit as soon as his hands touched the sea water. A cold breath instantly emanated from Jellal!

Under the power of the Leng Leng Fruit, a thin layer of ice began to form on the surface of the sea, and finally spread to the surroundings.

When it was about ten meters away, the ice stopped forming. Gerard also realized that his current cold air could only affect a range of ten meters.

He was not discouraged. It had not been long since he had eaten the Leng Leng Fruit. After he developed it himself, the range would gradually expand!

Jellal retracted his power, and the frozen areas quickly melted. After all the ice had melted, Jellal activated his power again to freeze the water surface.

Gerard repeated this action over and over again throughout the day.

In the training ground of the palace, the three Boa sisters were also receiving training from Granny New.

Granny New nodded from time to time as she watched the fierce battle on the field.

Hancock is now fighting against the kingdom's guards, each of whom is one of the kingdom's top warriors.

Hancock, who had just awakened her domineering aura not long ago, was able to protect her teammates and fight back and forth. It can be seen that her combat awareness is very good, which made Grandma New very satisfied!

At this time, Mi Lai also came to the training ground. She smiled at Hancock on the field. Then she came to Granny New and said, "Granny New, you guessed right. Jellal has eaten a devil fruit. It should be an ice-type devil fruit. He is now practicing his devil fruit ability at the beach."

"Ice type? The ice fruit has been eaten by that kid in the navy, so the devil fruit that Jellal ate should be the parahuman type." Granny New said softly, with an expression of "as expected" on her face.

The reason why she didn't take away Jellal's devil fruits immediately was that she thought that Jellal should have already eaten the devil fruits, so what was the point of him keeping those devil fruits?

Now Jellal has also joined their Amazon Lily Kingdom, and from Milie he said that he has a very good relationship with the three Hancock sisters, so sooner or later he will take out those devil fruits in his hands!

Of course, Granny New could take it away by force, but that would disgust Gerald, so it would be better for him to take it out himself.

"Let's remove the people who are monitoring Jellal. This child won't do anything to let down the Amazon Kingdom." Granny New looked at Milai.

"I understand, Granny New," My Lai responded.
