Inside the luxurious carriage heading for Konohagakure, a black spatial gate opened, and Vegapunk stepped out.
Just after stepping out of the carriage, Vegapunk glanced around, his body subtly shaking as he showed an expression of speechlessness.
Inside the carriage compartment, a scene that would make blood boil was unfolding. Hancock sat lazily on a chair, a half-smile playing on her stunningly beautiful face. Her form-fitting qipao accentuated her already perfect figure, making it even more fiery.
A pair of long, beautiful legs, shimmering with a faint jade glow, were crossed, one foot slightly raised, revealing a perfectly shaped jade foot.
In front of Hancock, Mei Terumī knelt on the ground with a confused look, her hands cradling Hancock's jade foot. Her small mouth was slightly open, her fragrant tongue lightly extended, slowly licking Hancock's toes.
Vegapunk's appearance immediately startled the two women. Mei Terumī's expression instantly recovered from its confusion, replaced by a look of shame mixed with indignation.
Hancock, however, didn't care at all. Upon seeing Vegapunk, she even showed a joyful expression: "darling, did the experiment go smoothly?"
"The experiment went very smoothly... but what are you doing? What exactly happened to Mei Terumī?"
"Hehe, I was just bored, so I exercised my Devil Fruit ability a bit."
Hancock glanced at Mei Terumī, whose face was so red it looked ready to bleed, and spoke nonchalantly. Then she looked at Vegapunk, squeezed over to hug him, and whispered into his ear: "How about it? I trained this maid quite well, didn't I? Want to try her out tonight?"
"And it's not just this maid, I can join too, you know!"
Wrapped by Hancock's soft body and sweet fragrance, and hearing such stimulating words, Vegapunk immediately drew a sharp breath.
If they weren't still in the carriage and approaching Konohagakure, Vegapunk might have already been unable to resist adopting Hancock's suggestion and taking both women right then and there.
But for now, he could only give Hancock a fierce glare, pat her rear, and make her move away from him.
Hancock stayed close to Vegapunk for a while longer before finally letting go with satisfaction, only to immediately cling to one of his arms.
As for Mei Terumī, she was hiding in a corner, shrinking into herself, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. Heavens, she was still an innocent maiden! Even if she had a strong liking for Vegapunk due to his appearance, she couldn't handle such vulgar suggestions, let alone what she had just been forced to experience.
Hancock's Love-Love Fruit, combined with her stunning beauty and the massive amounts of Ōtsutsuki Chakra she had absorbed—which made her aura even more extraordinary—was extremely potent. Especially since Chakra provides a huge boost to spiritual energy, her Devil Fruit ability was nearly Awakened.
Even a Ninja of Mei Terumī's caliber, with her Chakra restrained and herself harboring a huge psychological fear of Hancock, was easily confused and compelled to perform that recent, almost servile act.
Especially when she remembered that Vegapunk had witnessed the entire incident, Mei Terumī felt an urge to simply die, preventing the beautiful woman with the demeanor of an older sister from even daring to raise her head.
Glancing at the shrinking Mei Terumī, a smile touched Hancock's lips. After this incident, this maid should no longer dare to harbor any thoughts about becoming the official wife, right?
It must be said that when it comes to matters of love, a woman's intelligence can become quite erratic. Even though the Empress seems like a not-too-bright love-struck idiot, she can still display peculiar bursts of cleverness in certain areas... "We're finally here, Konohagakure!"
Stepping down from the carriage, Vegapunk looked at the Village before him.
Although Konohagakure is called a Ninja Village, its actual area is equivalent to a very large town.
However, compared to modern cities, it is closer to a suburban area. It has public facilities like power lines and water pipes, but lacks skyscrapers. Even the tallest structure, the Hokage Tower, is only four or five stories high.
Many houses have been built, but the planning doesn't look very perfect; there are wide main streets, but also many crowded and narrow alleys.
Of course, although it appears disorganized due to the excessive number of buildings and population, the heavy flow of people makes it bustling and lively, with all kinds of shops available. Compared to the original Kirigakure and Sand Ninja Village, it is undoubtedly much more prosperous.
But compared to the current Kirigakure and Sand Ninja Village... "This place doesn't look like much!" Mei Terumī glanced at Konohagakure, subtly showing a hint of disdain. "The urban planning is truly terrible! It's far worse than our Sea Ninja Village!"
The two Konoha Ninja standing guard at the gate glared fiercely at Mei Terumī, but she didn't care at all. She now had the confidence to speak such words.
Kirigakure was the first Village to make contact with Vegapunk. After a period of massive technological development, the entire Kirigakure was simply demolished and rebuilt, becoming the new Sea Ninja Village.
Since there was no burden from previous Ninja Village planning, this reconstruction faced no obstacles. The current Sea Ninja Village is now full of tall buildings and wide streets, resembling a small modern port city, which is far superior to the current Konoha.
Furthermore, the new location of the Sea Ninja Village is situated at a crucial port in the Land of Water. The sheer volume of trade every day is astonishing, and the Sea Ninja are overwhelmed with all sorts of missions, keeping their wallets stuffed.
Without the blood mist policy, merchants wouldn't miss such a heaven-sent opportunity. The current Sea Ninja Village absolutely surpasses Konohagakure in terms of modernization and prosperity.
Compared to Mei Terumī, Vegapunk and Hancock were completely unfazed. The One Piece World is practically a civilization per island; forget about technology and prosperity, even the ecological environments are entirely different. These two are truly worldly, and a mere suburban-level Konohagakure was beneath their notice.
On the contrary, Uchiha Obito, who had been driving the carriage, looked at Konohagakure with a complicated expression. Was it nostalgia, guilt, or hatred? Even Obito himself couldn't clearly define the emotion.
However, when Vegapunk performed modifications on Uchiha Obito, he had already altered his appearance somewhat. Even acquaintances would find it difficult to see the shadow of the original Uchiha Obito on his face. Coupled with the fact that he wanted to keep a low profile and was wearing a large straw hat, no one paid attention to his complex expression.
