I'm Not Interested in Devil Fruits

(Translator- One More Big Chapter)

Boa Hancock is set to be publicly executed in the arena. As soon as this news spread, the entire Amazon Suzuran Island was thrown into chaos! Women, whether strong or slender, beautiful or ordinary, tall or short, adults or young girls, all flocked to the streets, asking questions and expressing their shock and disbelief.

"How could this happen?"

"Is it that Hancock?"

"This is too much…"

Girls burst into tears right there on the street, wailing, "How can this be? Don't kill Hancock…"

Especially the young warriors who trained with her regularly, though Hancock was not particularly kind to them, everyone actually liked her a lot… Not to mention these young girls; most of the national warriors couldn't believe the news either and, lost in despair, drifted with the crowd toward the arena where the execution would take place.

In an instant, the streets were filled with a mournful atmosphere.

Truly, the entire nation was grieving!

Among the sea of slender, fair legs, a Den Den Mushi, blending into the environment, crawled quietly on the ground, following along with the crowd.

......

National warrior Cosmos stumbled through the crowd, feeling anxious and heartbroken, unwilling to believe that the Snake Princess would issue the order to execute Hancock.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice crying from somewhere in the crowd.

Following the sound, she squeezed her way over to find Hancock's two younger sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold. The two girls struggled to hold back their tears, but their sobs caught in their throats, and they couldn't help but cry.

"Cosmos…" Green-haired Sandersonia raised her tear-stained eyes.

"Don't cry, don't cry… This must be some misunderstanding. How could the Snake Princess want to execute Hancock…" Cosmos embraced the two girls, pushed by the crowd into the vast arena. 

This place usually allowed all citizens to watch the female warriors compete alongside the Snake Princess, but no one would have expected that one day the beloved Hancock would face execution in that arena. "Do you know anything? Why is this happening?"

Sandersonia rubbed her eyes, weeping, "I don't know… I don't know…"

At the other end of the arena, the Snake Princess's entourage slowly entered.

The Snake Princess, tall and expressionless, walked silently through the crowd, making it hard to gauge her emotions.

The regent, Suzuran, stood beside her, unable to help but recall past events as she sensed the atmosphere of mourning in the crowd…

......

''[One year ago, the Kuja Pirate ship sailed out of the Calm Belt.]''

''[On the deck, the black-haired girl spread her arms for the first time, murmuring in ecstasy, "This is the wind… It feels even better than what the books say…"]''

''[Suzuran, passing by, stopped and turned back, looking at Hancock with confusion, wondering, "Is there a storybook about the scenery overseas on the island?"]''

......

The citizens of Amazon Lily Island who came to watch the execution filled the spectator area of the arena.

In the crowd, the Boa sisters and Cosmos looked up to see a cross frame set in the center of the grand arena, surrounded by sharp spikes.

And there was black-haired Hancock, tied up in a large letter "X" on the cross frame, her limbs bound by iron chains.

She hung her head, her long hair falling down, as if she had lost all her strength.

On either side of her stood two fully armed members of the Kuja pirate crew, each wielding a sword, the blades gleaming coldly, sending shivers down people's spines.

The Snake Princess and her entourage slowly ascended to the high throne at the front of the arena.

Suzuran stood quietly beside the princess, gazing at the girl on the cross frame below.

......

''[Encountering a pirate ship at sea, Hancock excitedly charged in, only to have the pirates flee without a fight, leaving her greatly disappointed.]''

''[Suzuran, observing closely, noticed that Hancock's behavior was completely different from the citizens of the nation who first joined the Kuja pirate crew and came to the sea.]''

''[It seemed she… was not surprised by the men, those creatures she had never seen before.]''

''[Keeping a close eye, Suzuran looked for Hancock while carrying supplies from the pirate ship. Outside the captain's room window, she saw Hancock take down two bounty notices from the wall, mumbling something. Suzuran listened carefully, catching only a few fragments of the conversation…]'

'

''[In the Kuja cabin, alone, Suzuran said to the Snake Princess, "Snake Princess, something is off about that girl, Hancock… She seems to not be seeing men for the first time!"]'

'

''["Suzuran, I know you hate wicked men, but you're being too suspicious," The Snake Princess said with a disinterested smile.]''

......

''[Jaya Island, outside Mock Town, West Coast.]'

'

''[Three human traffickers sneaked onto the Kuja Pirate ship and almost abducted Hancock, even poisoning all the female warriors on board…]''

''[The Snake Princess returned just in time, and her Haoshoku Haki instantly suppressed the enemies.]''

''[After comforting the frightened Hancock, Suzuran found the Snake Princess and, after she was cured of the poison and regained her mobility, said in a grim tone, "This may not sound pleasant, but Snake Princess! If that Hancock I remember is right, she should have been easily fooled by those three men…"]''

''[The Snake Princess, expressionless, remained silent.]''

''[Suzuran continued, "You know what Hancock is like. She has never faced setbacks in her life. Everyone she met indulged her, pampered her, and even if she made mistakes and acted willfully, no one would blame her; they would just cater to her whims… With her personality, those three scoundrels could easily trick her into disembarking…"]''

''["What are you trying to say?" The Snake Princess glanced at her.]''

''["There are outsiders on Kuja Island! It's highly likely that they are men," Suzuran stated clearly, "And Hancock has seen them before, perhaps even colluded with them! She must have encountered men before, so she wasn't surprised when she arrived at the sea. She might have even been deceived or bullied, which is why she's so wary of those three! Princess, you saw Hancock's state earlier; it's definitely not normal! There must be some secret about her!"]''

''[The Snake Princess listened silently and then softly said, "So, esteemed regent of the previous emperor, how do you propose I deal with our Kuja's 'crown princess'?"]''

''[Feeling a chill, Suzuran's pupils contracted.]''

......

"Wow~~!!"

Seeing this scene on the platform, the once radiant elder sister, who was always so beautiful and admired, was now tied to a cross frame, "On the verge of death…"

The orange-haired youngest sister, Marigold, immediately broke down, crying loudly, "Elder sister is going to be killed—!!"

Her cry ignited a fuse, and the audience area, bustling with people, suddenly erupted into sobs, one after another, with a collective wailing filling the air.

On the high throne, the Snake Princess listened calmly to everything, gazing faintly at the girl tied to the cross on the arena stage.

...

[Two giant snakes dragged a red ship as it sailed across the Grand Line.]

[Upon reaching shore, they arrived at City Town. Suzuran entered a shop specializing in Den Den Mushi and selected a few special-purpose Den Den Mushi.]

[Suzuran returned to the ship and entered the Snake Princess's cabin, noticing the window was open and the curtains swayed in the wind.]

"You shouldn't be in the wind now that you're pregnant," Suzuran said as she walked over to close the window, surprised, "But there's no wind…"

The Snake Princess lay on her side, her pet snake lazily flicking its tongue, mirroring its mistress's relaxed demeanor.

Suzuran's expression turned serious as she said, "Aren't you going to perform the 'Snake Kiss'?"

The Snake Kiss was a secret technique passed down for hundreds of years among the Kuja daughters of the island, allowing them to discern the gender of the fetus after becoming pregnant with the help of their pet Kuja snakes. If it was a boy, the pet snake would hiss and flick its tongue; if it was a girl, the pet snake would gently rub against its mistress's belly, showing immense affection.

The Snake Princess replied indifferently, "What difference does it make if I do it or not?"

Suzuran immediately retorted, "If it's a boy—"

"If it's a boy…" The Snake Princess raised her eyelids, and a terrifying aura suddenly pressed down, causing the doors and windows of the cabin to tremble. She gently stroked her still-flat abdomen, revealing a faint smile, and softly asked, "Are you going to kill my child?"

"This… you…" Suzuran was both shocked and angry, her neck stiffening as she fumed, 

"No males are allowed! No boys are to be kept! This has been our Kuja tradition for many years! It's an ironclad rule!"

The Snake Princess flicked her fingernails coldly and said, "Suzuran, I know better than you what this country is all about. What do you think?"

Despite the absence of Haoshoku Haki's oppressive aura, Suzuran felt a cold sweat running down her back, even more tense than before.

After hesitating a bit, she decided not to continue debating the topic with the soon-to-be mother and, after some contemplation, took out a special Den Den Mushi from her arms…

...

No one disliked Boa Hancock.

This included the members of the Kujapirate crew who were tasked with carrying out the execution.

After all, Hancock had once been on their ship, and they had sailed together for more than half a year; she was their short-lived companion. Furthermore, everyone believed that on the next voyage, the Snake Princess would formally agree to Hancock joining the Kuja Pirate crew, making her a true comrade.

Yet now, they had to personally execute this companion, a girl they genuinely liked.

The atmosphere was one of overwhelming sorrow. The guardians of the nation and members of the Kujapirate crew all shed tears, unable to turn their faces away for one last look at Hancock tied to the cross; their hearts felt as if they would break.

Hancock, bound and unable to move much, appeared somewhat haggard and silent. She glanced at the crowd, listening to the heart-wrenching cries, silently wondering why it seemed that she was the one about to be executed?

Struggling to turn her head, she looked toward the blurred face of the Snake Princess on the high throne.
