Hancock didn't feel the slightest pain; instead, she felt a warm sensation on her back.

This warmth was a feeling she had never experienced before.

Soon, a phoenix rising from the ashes appeared behind Hancock.

"It looks much better this way," Roja said.

The words felt like a soothing current, instantly reaching the softest part of Hancock's heart. The tears that had been welling up in her eyes finally fell.

Hancock's small body then rushed into Roja's arms.

"Thank you, thank you! Thank you for saving us! No one has been so kind to us since we were captured near Nine Snake Island!"

Roja gently patted Hancock's back, taking on a big brother role as he spoke softly, "It's alright. I'll make a new pattern for your sisters now."

With that, Roja turned to Hancock's sisters and said, "I heard you're from Nine Snake Island. I'll draw a Nine Snake pattern for you both. How does that sound?"

"Uh-huh."

Soon, Roja covered the two women's marks with the Nine Snake pattern.

"Thank you," Hancock said, a slight blush on her face. "My name is Boa Hancock, but you can just call me Hancock."

"My name is Boa Sandersonia."

"And I'm Boa Marigold."

Roja glanced at Hancock, who was slightly embarrassed, and gave a small smile.

"Roja."

Upon hearing Roja's name, Hancock's face turned even redder.

"Sister, are you feeling sick?"

"Why is your face so red?"

Hancock, suddenly realizing her embarrassment, quickly responded, "We have to escape now, or we'll lose our chance!"

She then turned to Roja.

Roja replied calmly, "I'll get you out of here."

"Okay!"

The girls nodded.

Though their time together had been brief, Hancock and her sisters already trusted Roja. Especially Hancock, whose gaze was filled with admiration for him.

After emerging from the basement, Roja asked Fisher Tiger, "Do you feel better?"

"Much better," Fisher Tiger replied.

The Fish-Man stood up. In the short time they'd been inside, his wounds had stopped bleeding.

"Then let's leave Mariejoia," Roja said.

With that, Roja led the way, followed by Hancock and her sisters. Fisher Tiger brought up the rear to ensure nothing happened to the women.

As they neared the beach, Hancock's eyes sparkled brighter with each step. The beach represented freedom and the vast sea—everything they had longed for.

"This is it! We're almost free!" Hancock said joyfully.

But just as she finished speaking, a light appeared before them, accompanied by a casual voice saying, "Escape? Impossible."

As the light dissipated, a tall, thin man with curly black hair, a yellow and white striped suit, a beard, and sunglasses stood before them.

Fisher Tiger's eyes widened in disbelief. "Vice Admiral... Kizaru?!"

Kizaru was one of the three Admirals of the Navy, and Fisher Tiger had heard of him before.

Seeing Kizaru approaching, Fisher Tiger felt a wave of despair.

Kizaru looked down at Roja and the others, speaking in his characteristic slow, drawling voice, "How scary~ I didn't expect Fisher Tiger and this mysterious man to know each other. After I defeat you, my paycheck's going to get a nice boost~"

His words were absurd, but Kizaru's power was undeniable.

As the user of the Glint-Glint Fruit (Pika Pika no Mi), Kizaru possessed incredible speed and piercing attacks—two traits that made him one of the most formidable Admirals.

Kizaru casually asked Roja, "Ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

Without waiting for a response, Kizaru transformed into a streak of yellow light and sped toward Roja.

"Light-Speed Kick!"

His speed was so immense that the human eye couldn't track it!

But Roja didn't even flinch.

Six glowing orbs appeared before him, trapping Kizaru's figure in an instant.

Roja then calmly spoke, "Six-Stick Light Prison."

The entire process was smooth and effortless.

Kizaru, now trapped, stared at the scene in shock. "How is this possible?!"

Not just Kizaru, but Fisher Tiger too stood frozen, unable to comprehend the turn of events.

"One move... with just one move, Kizaru's attack was stopped!" Fisher Tiger was in utter disbelief.

Hancock gently tugged at Roja's cloak; her eyes full of admiration.

She couldn't help but think, He's amazing!

"I hope the Navy will reimburse you for your medical expenses!" Roja said wryly.

As his words echoed, Roja twisted the hilt of his sword, holding Blade Ruohuo, and aimed it at Kizaru's head.

"Song Ming!"

A burst of flames exploded, creating a tornado-shaped wall of fire that surrounded Kizaru.

The flames scorched him, but Kizaru attempted to dodge by turning into light. However, the Six-Stick Light Prison kept him immobilized, preventing him from moving.

"Let's go," Roja said.

After returning Blade Ruohuo to its scabbard, Roja led everyone toward the exit of the Holy Land Mariejoia.

He soon found a warship and steered it away from the island.

On the deck, the sea breeze gently fluttered Roja's cloak.

Roja lightly patted Hancock's hair and asked, "Do you hate this place?"

Hancock nodded firmly. For her, this place was nothing but pain and loathing.

"If that's the case," Roja said, raising his hand with a smirk, "Let me give them a little gift."

Roja snapped his fingers.

At first, Hancock looked around, confused, not noticing anything unusual.

Suddenly, Fisher Tiger gasped, pointing up at the sky in shock. "Look! Look at the sky!"

Everyone looked up, and saw...
