At the summit of the Red Line lies the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
As Ian and his group stepped onto the moving walkway, the sunlight shone perfectly on the magnificent palace complex, illuminating the entire Holy Land with a dazzling brilliance.
Nami widened her eyes, excitedly looking left and right.
"Wow! Is this the legendary Holy Land? It's so beautiful!"
As she spoke, her gaze was drawn to a proud golden statue in the distance, her eyes filled with Berries symbols.
Princess Sally was equally awestruck by the scene before her. Although she was a princess and had seen many luxurious palaces, they were like thatched huts in the countryside compared to the palaces before her.
Princess Anna, on the other hand, held Ian's arm with a smug expression, acting like a mistress.
"Nami, can you be a little less ignorant? This is the Holy Land, the Young Master's home. You can look at it as long as you want in the future."
However, Hancock was not in the mood to admire the surrounding scenery at this moment.
She tightly gripped Ian's sleeve, her delicate body trembling slightly.
As she stepped onto this land that had once left her with endless nightmares, the fears buried deep in her memory surged like a tide.
She vaguely remembered when she first came to the Holy Land, she was just a little girl in a cage, sold by human traffickers.
The Celestial Dragons looked at her with the eyes of someone appraising merchandise. In the end, she and her two sisters were sold to a fat, ugly Celestial Dragon. Fortunately, before she was abused by that fat Celestial Dragon, she met Ian, who was still young at the time.
Hancock took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing those bad memories, and looked up at the tall figure walking ahead.
Thinking about it carefully, she was much luckier than the other slaves who were sold to the Holy Land.
Although Ian had left a psychological shadow on her during her adolescence, weren't those seemingly cruel tortures a form of alternative protection?
She vaguely remembered a young woman who was sold to the Holy Land with her at the time.
When that woman arrived, she was young and beautiful, with an outstanding temperament. But less than half a month later, when she followed Ian to Pangu Square and saw that woman, she had been tortured beyond recognition and was being led on the ground by that Celestial Dragon with a chain.
And what about her?
Although she had been tortured by Ian to the point of wanting to commit suicide several times, at least she was still intact.
Thinking of this, Hancock straightened her back and regained the arrogant posture she had in the Amazon Lily Kingdom.
She held her head high, tightly holding Ian's arm, and followed him towards Pangu Square.
Pangu Square is the largest public area in the Holy Land.
On weekdays, the Celestial Dragons like to gather here, leading their slaves, basking in the sun, chatting, and showing off their newly bought "toys".
However, the moment Ian and his group stepped into the square—
The entire square suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
The Celestial Dragons, who were still talking loudly, stopped abruptly.
Everyone froze in place, the smiles on their faces solidified, and a hint of undisguised fear flashed in their eyes.
Immediately afterward, the servants and bodyguards who followed these Celestial Dragons turned pale instantly.
Before they even had time to think, their bodies reacted instinctively.
"Whoosh—"
Dozens of servants and bodyguards knelt on the ground in unison, burying their heads deeply in their arms, their bodies trembling violently with extreme fear.
"Greetings... Greetings, Saint Ian!"
A young Celestial Dragon closest to Ian suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Saint Ian is back—"
The sudden shout was like a depth charge dropped on a calm lake. Several Celestial Dragons who reacted quickly immediately turned around and ran, not even caring about the slaves around them.
"Run!"
"Saint Ian is back!"
"Damn it! Someone save me—"
For a time, the entire Pangu Square was in chaos.
The Celestial Dragons cried and screamed as they fled in all directions, and the servants and bodyguards did not care about etiquette and rules, scrambling to escape with their masters.
Soon, the once bustling Pangu Square was left with only Ian and his group, and a few shivering slaves who had been abandoned by their masters.
Nami stared blankly at this scene. How could the world nobles, who were rumored to enjoy all privileges, be like mice seeing a cat when they saw the Young Master, who was also a Celestial Dragon?
Ian blinked and looked at Gunko and Anna beside him: "What's the situation? Is This Young Master that scary?"
Gunko and Anna exchanged glances and nodded tacitly, saying in unison: "Scary."
Hancock, Nami, Kaya, and Princess Sally looked at each other.
In the past, they only knew that Ian was the most powerful crown prince in the Holy Land, but they did not fully understand the meaning of the words "most powerful".
It was not until they saw the Celestial Dragons in Pangu Square, who called themselves gods, reacting to Ian like mice seeing a cat, that they began to understand the true meaning of the words "most powerful"... Inside a luxurious mansion not far from Pangu Square.
A young Celestial Dragon stumbled into the courtyard, looking back at the bodyguards and servants behind him and shouting desperately: "Close the door! Close the door, damn it!"
His face was pale and his voice was trembling, "If Saint Ian chases after us, I will kill you all first!"
The bodyguards did not dare to neglect and quickly closed the heavy door.
At this moment, a middle-aged Celestial Dragon came out of the main house.
He looked at his son's distraught appearance, and his face suddenly darkened.
"You bastard!"
"As a Celestial Dragon, you are so distraught. What kind of decorum is this!"
The young Celestial Dragon saw his father as if he had caught a life-saving straw.
He staggered over, grabbed his father's sleeve, and his voice was full of fear.
"Father! Saint Ian is back!"
"That damn Saint Ian is back!"
Hearing this, the anger on the middle-aged Celestial Dragon's face instantly solidified, replaced by the same fear.
The next second, he turned around abruptly and shouted at the bodyguards and servants behind him: "Quick! Close the door! Lock it!"
"No one is allowed to leave this yard recently!"
"I will kill anyone who dares to go out."
...Pangu Square.
Looking at the Celestial Dragons who scattered like birds and beasts, Ian shook his head and smiled to himself.
At this moment, several figures walked over from the other side of the square.
The leader was a tall and handsome young Celestial Dragon.
He was wearing a well-tailored white robe, with a proper smile on his face, exuding a composure and elegance that was completely different from other Celestial Dragons.
It was the young master from Shepherd Family in the Holy Land—Saint Shepherd Maserati.
Behind him were four other young and handsome Celestial Dragons.
They were Saint Topman Oss, the young master of Topman Family, Saint Ferrari Donquixote, the young master of Donquixote Family, Saint Philip Sacherlz, the young master of Sacherlz Family, and Saint William Manmaya, the young master of Manmaya Family.
These five were the existences in the younger generation of the Holy Land, except for Saint Ferrari Donquixote, whose identity and background were second only to Ian.
Saint Maserati walked quickly to Ian and said with a smile: "Saint Ian, it seems that you have gained a lot from this trip."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Hancock, Anna, and Kaya.
When he saw Hancock, his eyes lit up.
"This woman looks a little familiar..."
He stared at Hancock for a few seconds, then suddenly widened his eyes: "I remember! She is the female slave who was forced to eat the Devil Fruit by you back then!"
Saint Maserati looked enlightened, and then laughed, "So this time you left the Holy Land to catch her back?"
Before he could finish speaking.
"Pa!"
A crisp slap sounded.
Saint Maserati staggered, and five bright red finger marks instantly appeared on his face.
He covered his face and looked at Gunko in disbelief.
"Saint Maserati."
Gunko retracted her hand and said coldly: "Watch your attitude."
"The one standing in front of you now is Saint Ian!"
Saint Maserati's face stiffened. Just as he was about to say something, Gunko's eyes had already fallen on Saint William Manmaya, who was standing at the end of the team.
"William."
Gunko's voice became even colder.
"You useless trash, how dare you not salute when you see the Young Master!"
When Saint William Manmaya heard this, a hint of unwillingness flashed across his face.
He took a step forward and retorted tit-for-tat: "He is your Young Master, not mine!"
"Besides, in terms of identity alone, I am also a Young Master!"
As soon as these words came out, Gunko's face instantly darkened.
However, before she could take action to teach this useless trash a lesson, Hancock suddenly took a step forward, her beautiful eyes burning with anger:
"What are you, to be compared with the Young Master?"
Before she could finish speaking, she raised her leg and kicked out.
"Bang!"
Saint William Manmaya flew out in response and rolled several times on the ground before stopping.
Hancock retracted her leg and raised her head arrogantly: "This concubine is now the Young Master's woman. No matter what I do, I will be forgiven by the Young Master!"
After speaking, she instantly turned into a docile kitten, approached Ian, took his arm, and said Jiao softly: "Young Master, did this concubine do the right thing?"
Ian nodded very satisfied and smiled: "That's how This Young Master's woman should be."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pinched Hancock's cheek, "Good performance. You will serve me tonight."
