Seeing that the strength of everyone around him had been significantly enhanced, Luo Tian couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of relief.

Soon the lively banquet came to an end, and as night quietly fell, the dawn's light shone upon the earth.

The next morning, just as the sun rose, Tesoro came to Luo Tian to say goodbye.

Tesoro said with a serious expression.

"Captain Luo Tian, ​​I have to go back. I'm really worried about my men since I'm leaving so hastily. I'm afraid something might go wrong while I'm gone."

Luo Tian smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood Tesoro's concerns, and gestured for him to return as soon as possible.

Not long after Tesoro turned and left, a sea breeze swept in, and a huge pirate ship slowly docked at the shore of the island where Luo Tian and his group were stationed.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Empress Boa Hancock leading her Kuja Pirates.

Hancock and her two sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold, were the first to arrive on the Dragon.

Hancock's two sisters came forward and greeted Luo Tian warmly:

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​it's been a long time!"

Luo Tian smiled and waved in response to their greetings.

At this moment, Hancock could no longer contain her excitement and quickly walked up to Luo Tian.

Having not seen each other for so long, Hancock no longer cared about her so-called reserve and the dignified image that an empress should have. Without hesitation, she opened her arms and hugged Luo Tian tightly.

Hancock is now quite tall, much taller than Luo Tian.

Caught off guard, Luo Tian was pulled into Hancock's arms and felt as if he were enveloped in a soft cloud.

Hancock hugged Luo Tian tightly, her affection making her unconsciously tighten her embrace.

Poor Luo Tian was squeezed by this gentle yet powerful force, and he could hardly breathe.

He struggled to raise his hands and gently patted Hancock's back, signaling her to relax a little.

At this moment, Hancock's two younger sisters, seeing their sister in such a state, were extremely anxious and hurriedly called out to Hancock.

"Sister, pay attention to your appearance! Your appearance is important!"

As Sandersonia called out, she also reached out and tugged at Hancock's sleeve.

The third sister, Marigold, added anxiously.

"Sister, don't forget there are many crew members watching over this ship!"

However, Hancock seemed not to hear, continuing to hold the person in her arms tightly, ignoring her two sisters' calls.

Meanwhile, the crew members who were busy with their own affairs on the ship also noticed the unusual situation.

They first looked at her curiously, then began to whisper among themselves.

"Look, who is that person that the Empress is holding in her arms?"

"It looks like a man."

"A man!? There is actually a man who can be treated so intimately by our Empress?"

"Sigh, I'm so envious. I wish I could be hugged by the Empress like that..."

Grandma saw Hancock's appearance and thought she saw her younger self. She shook her head helplessly and sighed.

"Ah, love..."

After a while, Hancock seemed to realize that she had lost her composure, and reluctantly let go of her arm.

When she saw Luo Tian's face turn red because of her actions, a shy look immediately appeared on her face.

But soon, she regained her usual dignity and turned to give instructions to her two younger sisters behind her.

"Inform the crew that we need to rest and recuperate here."

Upon hearing what her sister had said, Hancock's two younger sisters hurriedly turned back to the ship and relayed the news to all the crew members.

Soon, the crew members began to get to work, preparing for a short rest on the island.

At this moment, seeing that all the crew members had disembarked and landed on the island, and that no one was paying attention to this place anymore, Hancock's beautiful face once again showed a shy blush.

Hancock, her eyes brimming with tears, parted her lips slightly and spoke softly to Luo Tian.

"Brother Luo Tian, ​​I miss you so much! You have no idea how deep and intense my longing for you has been all these years..."

Luo Tian was well aware of this. Just now, when Hancock hugged him tightly, the force was so great that he almost couldn't breathe when he was pulled into her arms, and he almost fainted from suffocation.

At this moment, Luo Tian also looked at Hancock in front of him and couldn't help but sigh to himself: Yes, so much time has passed, and the little girl has indeed grown up quite a bit.

Then Luo Tian said softly to Hancock with an apologetic expression.

"I'm truly sorry, Hancock. The time it took me to break through my own limits this time far exceeded my expectations; even I didn't anticipate it would take so long."

However, before Luo Tian could finish speaking, Hancock hurriedly waved her hand and responded eagerly.

"No, no, no, Brother Luo Tian, ​​I absolutely do not blame you in the slightest. No matter how long I wait, as long as I can finally see you return, it will all be worth it for me."

After speaking, Hancock's beautiful eyes revealed deep affection as she gazed intently at Luo Tian.

Luo Tian, ​​who was being gazed at so affectionately by Hancock, seemed a little awkward and embarrassed, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
