Grand Line.
Amazon Lily,
Blurub Blurub Blurub~
Blurub Blurub Blurub~
Victor held the incessantly ringing Den Den Mushi, his expression a mix of anger and helplessness.
The signal on this thing was truly terrible!
It had been disconnected for ten minutes… he wondered if his wife missed him.
Bang!
"Useless thing!"
Victor slammed the Den Den Mushi onto the ground.
It wasn't broken — it was still going Blurub Blurub.
The Den Den Mushi in the pirate world had a terrible signal, but its durability was no weaker than a Nokia.
And… it was alive.
Alive!?
Victor suddenly thought of something and stared down at the Den Den Mushi, which was still dialing.
Den Den Mushi… snail…
Grilled? Braised?
Victor licked his lips, and his stomach rumbled at just the right moment.
Blurub! Blurub! Blurub! Blurub!
With a rapid, sharp dialing sound, the Den Den Mushi seemed to sense his malice and began frantically trying to connect to its target.
It was scared!
Beep!
The signal connected!
Victor instantly swept away his hunger and picked up the Den Den Mushi.
A very sexy female voice came through the receiver.
"Husband!~ If I couldn't reach you again, this wife would've stomped this hateful Den Den Mushi to pieces!"
The Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock, was currently throwing a tantrum on the Kuja Pirate Ship.
Of course, it was directed at the Den Den Mushi.
Towards her husband, Hancock was the gentlest.
"Hancock, when are you coming back!?"
"Soon, we've already reached the Calm Belt. I can't suppress the longing for her husband any longer!"
…
Victor chatted with Hancock for a while before temporarily hanging up the Den Den Mushi.
Recalling his experiences during this period, Victor could only sum them up with two words.
Awesome!
By a strange twist of fate, he had transmigrated to the Pirate World — a world full of passion where strength reigned supreme.
More importantly… Victor had married the Pirate Empress!
The world's most beautiful woman, Boa Hancock!
After Victor's multi-angle, in-depth assessment…
It was genuine.
Well-deserved reputation.
In front of Boa Hancock, all other women had to step aside.
Not only beautiful, but as a Warlord of the Sea, Hancock's strength was also extremely powerful.
With such a wife, Victor didn't want to work hard. He only wanted to live happily ever after with Hancock on Amazon Lily.
Victor was the only man on Amazon Lily — how wonderful!
However, as a transmigrator, Victor had a certain understanding of the Pirate World.
Not long ago, he received news from Granny Nyon, Gloriosa.
Fire Fist Ace had been captured by the World Government and was scheduled for public execution!
This news made Victor very nervous.
Not because of Fire Fist Ace, but because if Ace had been captured…
Would it be long before Luffy was sent flying to Amazon Lily by Kuma!?
Victor absolutely would not allow that silly boy Luffy to get close to his wife, Hancock. And as for scenarios like accidentally stumbling into the bathroom — that was even more impossible!
So when Hancock had to go out on patrol, Victor reluctantly stayed home, fearing he would miss the timing of Luffy's arrival on Amazon Lily.
Of course, the current Victor was just an ordinary person; he probably wouldn't even withstand one of Luffy's Gum-Gum Pistols.
After all, as a man who didn't want to work hard, he hadn't awakened a system since his transmigration.
"Lord Victor! Lord Victor!"
Outside the door, a Kuja warrior with orange hair stood respectfully.
"Daisy, what happened?"
Victor smiled warmly. Loving the wife, he loved the house. He had always been gentle with Hancock's people — especially the adorable Daisy.
"Lord Victor!"
Margaret's pretty face flushed.
Lord Victor called her Daisy… so intimate…
Lord Victor was so handsome, but he was the Snake Princess's husband!
Snake Princess!
Margaret immediately calmed down.
"Lord Victor, Affelandra, Sweet Pea, and I found a strange person in the jungle, exactly as you described to us before!"
Margaret and the others had previously received Victor's request to notify him immediately if they found any suspicious individuals, and he had specifically described Luffy.
It was actually easy to describe: a simple-minded boy wearing a Straw Hat.
"He's finally here!"
Victor's heart skipped a beat.
He was about to meet Luffy, the Child of Destiny of the Pirate World — and he was somewhat excited.
Luffy truly lived up to his reputation as a glutton. As soon as he arrived on Amazon Lily, he ate poisonous mushrooms, which not only made mushrooms grow all over his body but also made him breathe fire. Then he was captured by Daisy and the others.
When Victor saw Luffy, several Kuja women were preparing to treat him.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop! What are you doing!?"
Victor sternly stopped the women who were about to lay hands on Luffy.
"Lord Victor, we are treating him."
The Kuja warriors were very respectful. In fact, all the women on Amazon Lily were incredibly respectful toward Victor — after all, he was the man who had conquered Empress Hancock.
"Treating him? Is this treating him!?"
Victor's face was covered in black lines.
If he remembered correctly, these women had given Luffy quite a rough time. Fortunately, Luffy was a Gum-Gum Fruit user, otherwise the consequences would've been unimaginable.
Victor glanced at Luffy, not intending to save him. He planned to have Daisy prepare a small boat, throw Luffy onto it, and let the Child of Destiny survive in the vast sea.
Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host for binding the Strongest Choice System. To help the host become the strongest man, the system will escort the host!
Ding! A choice has appeared! System activation successful!
Choice One: Let Luffy live or die. Reward: Beginner Finger Pistol. Negative impact: The host's prestige on Amazon Lily will decrease.
Choice Two: Let others treat Luffy. Reward: Perfect Finger Pistol. (Navy Six Styles are divided into Beginner, Proficient, Advanced, Perfect.)
Choice Three: Personally treat Luffy. Reward: Advanced Conqueror's Haki, Advanced Armament Haki, Advanced Observation Haki. (Haki is divided into Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced, King-level.)
Victor was stunned.
Although the system was late, it was finally here. And although he didn't want to work hard, being a kept man was still very appealing.
But as a man, he needed the strength to protect his wife. There were too many strong people in the Pirate World, and Hancock was not invincible — not to mention the existence of the Celestial Dragons, whom his wife hated.
So, for his wife, and to always have a comfortable life, Victor had to become stronger. He had to become tough!
Although… the choices provided by this damn system were indeed a bit messed up. Treating him, personally!? They were both men, wasn't that strange!?
"Lord Victor, let us quickly treat him. If the toxins seep into his body, it'll be a big problem."
Margaret volunteered, knowing that Lord Victor would not stand by and let him die — he was only worried about them having an accident.
"No! Let go of him! Let me diagnose him!!"
Victor gritted his teeth and made an extremely difficult decision.
Yes, very difficult.
"Lord Victor…!"
"Lord Victor is so warm…"
"Lord Victor is so charming…"
The surrounding Kuja women were all deeply moved at this moment.
Victor himself hadn't expected that Daisy and the others would automatically interpret it as him thinking of them.
Now Victor felt much more balanced mentally.
Isn't it just treating Luffy?
For the reward…
Treat him!
