Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 8: The Commission from the Nine Snakes! (First update, seeking collection of fresh flower votes)

Celestial Dragons are the world's nobility, possessing almost absolute power and protected by the Naval Headquarters. They are the most esteemed existence in the world.

Merely offending them would result in being pursued by an Admiral, let alone attempting to assassinate them!

"You, are you saying that your brothers have taken on the commission to assassinate Celestial Dragons?" Hancock's body stiffened upon hearing this.

The two sisters stood there dumbfounded, their mouths slightly moving and their bodies trembling.

The tragic reason for their sisters' suffering was the Celestial Dragons!

Upon hearing Zhao Xu's words, not to mention the two sisters, even Hancock's heart felt an unusual impulse.

Commission him! Kill that damn guy!

If it were someone else, they might not be able to accomplish this, but if there is someone with the level of power like Uchiha Madara, it's really possible to kill the Celestial Dragons!

However, Hancock quickly calmed down. One hand couldn't help but reach behind her, her gaze cold and stern. "If you think you can say such things just because you see the seal behind me, and expect me to let you go, then you are gravely mistaken!"

"You will meet your end here!"

Upon hearing Hancock's words, the sisters also calmed down.

In reality, Uchiha Madara, who possesses the power of an Admiral, could indeed kill the Celestial Dragons.

Even the strong Admirals under the Four Emperors, as well as the Four Emperors themselves, have the potential to kill the Celestial Dragons with their strength.

But the Celestial Dragons have been arrogant for hundreds of years and have never experienced an assassination.

Because even the subordinates of the Four Emperors, or even the Four Emperors themselves, are afraid of unnecessary trouble.

Assassinating the Celestial Dragons is not difficult, and the likelihood of success is high, but what comes next?

Can you escape the pursuit of the Marines? Will Sengoku not take action? Will the Five Elders turn a blind eye...

It's not that they can't be killed, but why bother?

In reality, even if Hancock herself is willing to pay any price, she could possibly kill a Celestial Dragon.

But...

She dares not.

Killing the Celestial Dragons may bring temporary satisfaction, but the insane retaliation from the World Government is something that no one can bear.

Even the Four Emperors!

"Don't be in such a hurry. If I say I can take on the commission, there must be a reason." Zhao Xu smiled. "Anyway, whether you suffer any losses or not, it doesn't matter..."

"I can act as a hostage for you."

This statement made the three sisters even more intrigued.

Hancock gritted her teeth and still didn't believe it. "Maybe you just want to meet your brother..."

Zhao Xu smiled and said, "You can use a knife, a bow and arrow, or anything else to aim at me. If anything unexpected happens, you can immediately attack me."

"Who knows if you might suddenly make a move..."

"You can also mobilize your Nine Snakes army."

"In case you fail, you can inform the World Government about our information..."

"Risk is always something that must be taken, but as ninjas, guarding secrets is our professional code of conduct."

Hancock kept asking questions, finding one reason after another to distrust Zhao Xu.

But each one was countered by Zhao Xu's response, making the two sisters more and more intrigued, even Hancock herself was somewhat swayed.

Their hearts always held onto the hatred behind them. If there was no hatred, no humiliation, why would they make such a big fuss every time they took a bath?

After hesitating and considering for a long time, Hancock finally spoke.

"Alright, take us to find your elder brother..."

"If you can truly do it, we won't mind this offense," Zhao Xu finally showed a smile.

The next question then was how to avoid their sight, use a clone to replace oneself, and then transform into Uchiha Madara...

In reality, there was no need to worry about this question.

The appearance of a man on Amazon Lily Island was not a small matter, let alone the matter of Hancock entrusting Zhao Xu. It was not something that could be made public.

Following behind Zhao Xu were only the three Hancock sisters.

And so...

"So, this is your reason for aiming arrows at my younger brother?" Uchiha Madara's face was cold, a fierce killing intent soaring into the sky.

"Please calm down a bit. It was your younger brother's request..." Hancock felt a sense of trepidation, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.

Whether it was an illusion or not, she always felt that he was stronger now than when he fought against Akainu!

"Calm down, brother, I'm fine." Zhao Xu's clone smiled.

Hearing the words 'younger brother,' Uchiha Madara finally calmed down a bit, but the look in his eyes as he looked at Hancock and the others still carried an extremely cold chill.

Hancock coughed, "Let's discuss the specifics when we return to the city..."

"Mm..." Uchiha Madara nodded.

Back at the palace, there was no need to explain much about the subsequent discussion.

The mission was accepted, and the reward was all the Devil Fruits in the inventory of Snake Island.

Although Devil Fruits were expensive, Hancock, due to her own reasons, didn't want the warriors of Snake Island to eat them unless they were her sisters or some kind of animal-type Devil Fruit. Otherwise, her deception might be exposed at any time...

Of course, she didn't fully trust Zhao Xu and the others either. Although Zhao Xu wanted her to give the reward in advance, she insisted that the Devil Fruits be handed over to 'younger brother Zhao Xu' as a hostage. Uchiha Madara would go assassinate him, and after the news spread, they would send Zhao Xu to a small island in the Grand Line.

Zhao Xu had no problem with this arrangement. After all, he could transform again at a later time and absorb the Devil Fruits without any issues.

There was no Transformation Technique in the world of pirates, so finding a flaw was easy.

And so...
