--- Chapter 407 ---
"Okay, the Fish-Man Island aside..." Huo Yuhao casually decided to wait until Shakuyaku set up the place for the meeting. "I'm afraid Hancock won't be able to command the Kuja Army soon."
"This... Yuhao-sama, did I make a mistake?" Boa Hancock panicked.
"Please, Yuhao-sama. Hancock would do anything. Y-You can punish me with anything, but please don't abandon me."
Boa Hancock's watery eyes gazed at Huo Yuhao. Her every movement was full of charms that could captivate one's soul and heart.
The prime example is Rayleigh, whose jaw dropped in disbelief as he never thought the "proud" Kuja Empress could act like this.
"Hmm." Shakuyaku had to pinch Rayleigh's waist while giving him a smile-not-smile look to wake him up. Pray that this fellow had to sleep on the couch tonight.
After awakening the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python Martial Soul, Boa Hancock's charm seemed to crank up by a thousand. However, this is normal because the "magical beast" of this stature is noble and blessed by heaven and earth.
In fact, if Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python's concept becomes Devil Fruit, it would be two steps ahead of Mythical Zoan because it can evolve.
Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "It seems you misunderstood my intention."
"The Martial Soul you awakened, the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, is not ordinary. Your talent is many times higher than Rayleigh here."
"Hey!" Rayleigh complained immediately. How could you put a bro down like this?
Huo Yuhao ignored Rayleigh's complaint and added, "So, you better not waste your talent by commanding Kuja Army for now. Sandersonia and Marigold could handle them just fine."
"Right?" He glanced at the other Gorgon Sisters.
Sandersonia and Marigold were dumbfounded. They swallowed hard as they understood this was a "golden time" for their sister.
Although the [Kuja Army] just got founded and Boa Hancock as the chief must leave would be distasteful, there is nothing they could do about it because Boa Hancock's Martial Soul awakening is beyond everyone's control.
So, Boa Hancock should become stronger faster and gain a foothold in the Dragon Nest. At least the Kuja Army wouldn't be a foot soldier if she became powerful enough to stand beside Huo Yuhao.
"That's right, sister. It's better to cultivate yourself because, according to Rayleigh, a Spirit Master's earlier growth is faster." Sandersonia said after some thought.
"Mm, if possible, you should become God!" Marigold added with a strong fanatism.
Honestly, Sandersonia and Marigold always knew that their older sister's talent was beyond ordinary. After all, the oldest had awakened "Haoshoku Haki" at a young age, which they didn't possess.
"You heard them." Huo Yuhao commented calmly. "I wanted you to focus on training your Martial Soul till you're a Spirit Sage Realm."
"After that, you can return to the Kuja Army."
"I understand!" Boa Hancock's eyes lit up.
She clenched her hand excitedly because Huo Yuhao seemed to want to train her personally. Being taught by her idol? It sounds like a dream.
Huo Yuhao saw Hancock's expression and said, "It wouldn't be too long, and I wouldn't personally coach you."
"Then, who..." Boa Hancock was disappointed.
"My clone." Huo Yuhao replied jokingly.
"Ah, then it's fine." Boa Hancock's lips curved up.
"..." Huo Yuhao.
This woman. She had fallen too much.
Huo Yuhao sighed inside because ten hours in the Mirror Dimension should be enough to set Boa Hancock on the correct path.
He also needed to learn more about [Obsidian Sea's Chapter].
"Okay, I will share the core techniques of Dragon Nest with you guys. As for the resources, these watches would allow you to access the pocket dimension bank under my rule."
Firstly, Huo Yuhao telepathically sent cultivation techniques to Hancock and others, then handed the smartwatches to them.
Rayleigh already has one, so he teaches Shakuyaku and others how to operate this alien technology.
"What a magical device..." Shakuyaku browsed the world map and felt no territory could escape her grasp. At the same time, she was also scared because Dragon Nest had mastered such technology. Isn't conquering this world just a matter of time?
With such a precise mapping ability, Dragon Nest could air bomb almost every land the World Government owned. Of course, it wouldn't be easy because the World Government also possessed some means to defend against such attacks.
Boa Hancock and her sisters also realized the satellite map's frightening potential in war and couldn't help but tremble. It seemed that joining Dragon Nest to meet their idol gave them more flavor than loss.
"Well, you can return now." Huo Yuhao waved his hand.
"Shakuyaku, don't forget to contact me through the watch when you have set up the meeting place."
"Okay." Shakuyaku nodded with a smile. Then, she dragged her husband away.
Sandersonia and Marigold looked at Boa Hancock, "Sister, you must do your best when training with Yuhao-sama."
"Hmph, I know. Don't worry." Boa Hancock put on a confident smile.
"The same goes for you. You two shouldn't embarrass our Kuja Army while I'm away."
"Leave it to us!" Sandersonia and Marigold patted their chest. This kind of tacit understanding between them has developed for years.
After hugging, Sandersonia and Marigold left the mangrove forest.
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched at their dramatic parting, "You know that you can see them again soon, right? It's not like you're going to disappear for years."
Boa Hancock smirked, "But you can do it, right, Yuhao-sama? I have read the introduction of Primordial Runes in the smartwatches and knew you can use them to create another dimension called Mirror Dimension."
"In the Mirror Dimension, time flows differently. Ten hours here is probably ten years inside?"
"Quite a sharp mind you had there." Huo Yuhao praised while raising his eyebrow.
"I was given a chance. It's a shame not to use it." Boa Hancock returned humbly.
Huo Yuhao shook his head gently, "Unfortunately, your guest is incorrect this time. Although it's possible for Mirror Dimension's time to flow faster than outside, your body can't endure the erosion of temporal force."
"Let's not talk about ten years because even one year is impossible for you."
"Your mind and body can't bear it."
"Then, how long can I endure this erosion?" asked Boa Hancock.
Huo Yuhao pondered deeply, "Ten months. No more, no less."
"Ten months..." Boa Hancock's expression became solemn real quick.
"What's the matter? Not confident you can't reach the goal within ten months?" Huo Yuhao playfully teased her.
Boa Hancock's fighting spirit aroused, "Yuhao-sama, please don't look down on me."
"Fine, ten months! I will show you my title as Kuja Empress has its meaning."
"Well, I can't wait." Huo Yuhao laughed in amusement. He snapped his finger and created a clone, sending it and Hancock to the Mirror Dimension.
Huo Yuhao's consciousness is still connected to the clone as he did to the main body in the Douluo Dalu World, but they wouldn't directly mess with others because each has a different focus.
Zoey suddenly appeared before Huo Yuhao and asked, "Are you going to train that girl?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Huo Yuhao didn't expect Zoey to make an appearance here.
"I thought you would only observe from the shadows?"
"I did..." Zoey replied calmly. "Until that girl appeared, that is."
"You better keep her close because she has quite a potential."
Huo Yuhao rolled his eyes, "I know."
Zoey ignored Huo Yuhao's eye-roll and added, "Anyway, continue your study in [Obsidian Sea's Chapter]. Remember, the closer you look, the further your goal is running away from you."
After saying that, Zoey disappeared from Huo Yuhao's sight and left his mouth twitching crazily.
"I hate riddle..." Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly.
