Chapter 427 Public Execution
Things developed a little too quickly, sliding into a track that no one had expected. So much information flooded into the sky at once that most people could not accept it for a while.
Boa Hancock was still in the holy land of Marijoa at this moment. When she saw that her biggest secret was exposed, the empress's momentum began to shrink instantly, her face turned pale and beads of sweat rose on her neck.
She felt like she was being publicly executed, and was stripped naked. The dignity she had once built up was ruthlessly trampled underfoot. The painful memories of being a slave of the Celestial Dragons kept playing as a slide show in her mind, deepening the impression over and over again.
Although Doflamingo did not see the complete hoof of the Celestial Dragon on the beautiful back of the Empress, as a former Celestial Dragon, he was very familiar with the slave mark. After all, all Celestial Dragons had raised slaves to a certain extent.
The hoof of the soaring dragon is a mark that marks one as an inferior creature, not a badge of honor. No fool would carve such a thing on himself, unless that person is mentally ill.
As the queen of Amazon Lily, Boa Hancock does not need to lower herself to become a slave even if she admires the God Clan. There are many celestial dragons who would marry the world's most beautiful woman.
The hoof of the soaring dragon on the sky cannot be fake. Doflamingo, with an obscene smile on his face, did not mind testing the Empress's attitude at the meeting: "Tsk tsk... So this is the Empress' secret. Maybe I took care of you when you were a child. I just regret that I couldn't remember what the female slave looked like at that time."
As a veteran in the world of women, Ten Yasha basically believes that women are like clothes. Apart from satisfying his own physical needs, he seldom remembers the faces of women he has slept with. Those women who are worthless themselves are not worthy of Doflamingo's memory.
Apart from the outliers like Don Quixote, some of the Celestial Dragons, because they think highly of themselves and believe that foreigners are untouchable, they would be impure if they touched the race of gods, but these Celestial Dragons still raise slaves.
Slaves have the most miserable lives at the hands of these celestial dragons, because they do not regard other lives as lives at all, and they have no psychological burden in persecuting and ravaging them. In their eyes, slaves may be just a string of cold numbers.
Another part of the Celestial Dragons will have more contact with foreigners who look better-looking. Among them, both female and male Celestial Dragons are very promiscuous and may have multiple husbands and multiple wives. However, this is all verbal and has no actual binding force. Their own status as slaves will never change, and the bloodlines born from the Celestial Dragons are likely to still be slaves. There are many slaves who have been broken down and abandoned.
As to which group of Celestial Dragons the Empress Boa Hancock ends up in, that is a matter of opinion. After all, the time span is there, and most of the Celestial Dragons are golden pigs that are kept as captives. It is impossible to find their memories or records.
Fisher Tiger caused a big disturbance in the holy land of Marijoa and started a fire which not only saved some slaves but also burned some original materials, leaving no evidence at all.
If Tianmu hadn't revealed this big news, 99% of the people on the sea would not know that the noble and inviolable Boa Hancock was once a slave of the Gods. But now 99% of the people on the sea know about it, so it can no longer be called a secret.
"Doflamingo, shut up! I don't want to hear any of the Celestial Dragons' bullshit."
The person who spoke was full of energy and his tone was full of resentment. It was obviously not the voice of the Empress. No one present thought at first that the first of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to stand up and speak for the Empress would be the Sea Knight Jinbe of the Fishman Clan.
The Sun Pirates were the first group to be formed. All the fish-men on board were slaves of the Celestial Dragons. They were all branded with the hoof of a soaring dragon. Captain Fisher Tiger personally took the lead and used a red-hot iron to create a red sun to cover the original hoof print, in order to prove that everyone had gained freedom and a new life.
Regarding this humiliating history, Sea Knight Jinbe can empathize the most with Boa Hancock. Although the two of them come from different races, they have a common enemy: the God Clan is truly the source of all evil on the sea.
Boa Hancock could have left this place of trouble, but she insisted on staying. The woman wanted to see her own end before leaving, until she peeked into another self inside her body through the sky curtain.
The other Boa Hancock was not as sensitive and fragile as herself, and her aura and strength were far greater than those of the deeply shocked slave queen.
In the world of Pure Land of Heart, the self was still wearing the slave outfit given to her by the Celestial Dragons, which made Boa Hancock even more frustrated. Her memory of that outfit was so deep that the woman would never forget it for the rest of her life. No wonder her inner world would be revealed.
When another empress completely replaced herself, Boa Hancock saw this scene. Instead of having any opinion, she showed a relieved expression. The ending was neither good nor bad.
Even if being possessed by another's body is the final outcome, it is better than being pinned down by Blackbeard Teach, becoming that fat man's woman, and having children with that ugly guy. The thought of it makes me sick. A life worse than death is really too horrible.
"Medusa, is this the real name of my other self? Does every devil fruit represent a devil?"
If Boa Hancock's prediction really came true, there would be countless Devil Fruit users on the sea, and the scene of everyone being in danger would definitely be very funny.
If a Devil Fruit user wants to hear another voice inside his body, there must be some prerequisites. The case of Boa Hancock proves that if one's inner defenses are broken to a certain extent and one falls into despair from which one cannot escape, the Devil Fruit in one's body will take advantage of the situation and invade.
It is not clear now, if the devil fruit becomes the master and the mount turns around and rides on the king's head, will the devil fruit user's true self-consciousness be able to return to his body one day?
It is more likely that after being possessed by another spirit, one will completely lose control of the body, be devoured and replaced by the devil within, and the body will become a container for the devil fruit.
"Devil Fruits are truly dangerous things. The gifts of fate come with a price tag."
Hawkeye Mihawk glanced coldly at the people at the meeting. Most of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were users of Devil Fruits, with a ratio of five to two. Only he and Jinbe were safe here.
It is exciting to know the secret of a strong man, but afterwards, the brains of these characters regained their composure. The devil fruit, a time bomb that was once ignored, is actually with the main body day and night and tied to it all the time. It is difficult for the devil fruit ability user to be happy.
