Chapter 249: Power Up

Half a day later, Roja leaned heavily on the soft couch inside Hancock’s room and Hancock sat next to him supporting him lightly .

At the moment, she looked different than before .

Although there was no change to her appearance, her temperament and charm seem to have increased by at least 10% .

“Unfortunately, it isn’t enough…”

Roja tried to make Hancock into a Shinigami but he encountered a problem in the process of doing so which made Hancock’s soul unable to transform into a Shinigami .

Fortunately, his effort didn’t go to waste as Hancock’s soul got stronger than before .

First of all, her charm and temperament increased due to the increase in her soul power . Before she would have to use too much of her mental powers to control the mero mero no mi .

Luffy said that except his brain everything else is rubber .

You can say that soul power made her brain stronger which led to her fruit getting stronger as well .

Hancock’s ability was strong already, a vice admiral would hardly resist her even with Haki and now even people with the same strength as Jack and Doflamingo would find it hard to defend against her .

And because her charm and temperament increased, She absorbed some of Roja’s Reiatsu, which was equivalent to merging her soul with Roja making them feel connected .

It was as though they were in the same body and the power of the Mero Mero no Mi lost its effectiveness of Roja completely .

In addition to the fruit ability, with the increase in soul power, Hancock’s Kenbunshoko, Busoshoku, and Haoshoku Haki are stronger now .

All three types of Haki got stronger, Other than physical strength everything else is stronger .

Now Hancock was as strong as a Quasi Admiral, even when she is placed with them she would be on the top .

“Roja how are you?”

At this time, Hancock didn’t feel joy even as she got stronger . Instead, she was extremely worried about Roja as he laid in her arms .

“I’m Fine, I just overdone it a little, I will recover after a break . ”

Roja smiled at her and signaled that he was alright . He just exhausted his Reiatsu and needed a little rest .

But although Roja didn’t care about the Reiatsu used, he used at least 70% of his power but Hancock couldn’t absorb much of it, it’s as if her body already reached the limit and couldn’t break through the shackles .

Roja had Sen Maboroshi and could break the chain, but she didn’t .

“Is it really okay?”

Hancock’s face was full of worry . She felt that if she wasn’t so weak, Roja wouldn’t need to exhaust himself like this .

Although Roja said that he is okay, in her opinion she made Roja this tired because she was weak .

Roja looked at her concerned gaze and couldn’t help but smile . He reached out his hand and squeezed her cheeks as he said: “It’s worth it if it is something for you . ”

When Hancock her his words, she was moved and she didn’t know what to say .

Her eyes suddenly turned wet and crystal tears fell off .

Now she wasn’t the pirate empress, she was just a girl, a very normal girl .

“Cry, cry all you want, you will feel better . ”

Roja’s face showed a hint of helplessness . It was rare for Hancock to cry . Even when he entered the bath by accident, she didn’t cry .

He sat upright and reached to wipe the tears from her eyes .

Hancock was still crying as her voice shook .

“I’m sorry… I don’t deserve you… I’m a runaway slave, as long as you are willing to stay with me…”

When Roja heard this he looked at her eyes that were full of tears and said .

“Hancock, don’t ever say anything like that again . ”

Hancock’s was messy, and her face was all wet due to her tears, even so, her tears still couldn’t stop rolling down .

No one had ever treated Hancock so well before, especially after she closed her heart . Roja was so good to her that she felt scared .

She was scared of losing him .

This is her most fragile side . Losing Roja was more terrible to her than being a celestial Dragon’s slave . She couldn’t afford to lose him .

Roja directly looked at her eyes and saw what she was thinking, He suddenly said gently .

“I won’t leave you, I never will . ”

This sentence took effect directly . Hancock directly hugged Roja while her tears still coming out .

No one came to disturb them .

Roja made everyone faint so no one could see Hancock cry .

After a long time, Hancock finally calmed down .

Roja’s clothes were soaked with her tears, But Roja didn’t care about that picked up a handkerchief and wiped Hancock’s cheeks and tears from her eyes then smiled at her .

“You are really gorgeous . ”

Hancock looked at Roja with some traces of tears in her eyes . She didn’t know what to say . But she didn’t need to say anything as her eyes told Roja everything .

Roja touched her little face and smiled gently .

“Okay, stop crying . ”

After that Roja yawned and finally showed a tired look, then he leaned in Hancock’s arm and said .

“Let me sleep for a little bit . ”
