"I haven't told anyone about my goal before, so please keep it a secret for me," Blaize winked a little, easing the mood between them.

"Ok. You don't despise me for the Slave mark?" Hancock asked again, a little doubtful.

"I have already said it, some slave mark doesn't define the person. If you are so disturbed by it, I can erase it for you." Blaize expressed his thoughts.

"What? You can? I thought the slave marks were permanent which can't be removed."

"They are! But I can erase or modify them into a better symbol if you want." Blaize said with confidence.

The Slave marks are similar to tattoos of earth, imprinted by special ink into the outer layer of the skin.. As the concepts are the same, he can easily remove them by disintegrating the ink and restoring the skin.

"I want it e-erased," Hancock replied in a quivering voice.

"Ok then. May I?" Walking towards the bed, Blaize gestured to her to show the back. Hancock blushed a little, but she still turned and exposed the back.

Pointing his index finger at the Hoof mark, Blaize fired a solar beam that started to slowly erase the mark little by little. He then placed his palm on her back.

As soon as he did that, Hancock trembled as if she was struck by a lightning. She suddenly asked, "What are you doing?"

"Relax."

Hancock then felt a warm flow of energy on her back and a slight itchy feeling that made her body squirm. In two or three minutes, the burnt marks on her skin disappeared a little.

But, this is not the end. Blaize had to repeat the whole process three more times before the Hoof Mark on her back completely vanished. Her creamy white back looked as good as new.

"Done!"

"Really?" Hancock found it a little unbelievable so she checked her back in the mirror. To her surprise, she found nothing on her back, not even a scar.

"It really disappeared?" Tears gushed from her eyes of happiness. How many years has it been? She's been bothered by the mark ever since it's branded on her back and how others would treat her if it's seen.

"Can you sign the 'Warlord' agreement now?" Blaize asked. "Once you sign it, neither the Marines nor World Government would come near three kilometers of Amazon Lily."

This time Hancock didn't refuse, she directly signed the agreement paper presented by Blaize.

"Well...I think it's time for me to take my leave. See you then." Blaize kept the paper in his coat and prepared to leave but Hancock stopped him.

"Wait...can you erase my sister's mark as well, please..." Hancock pleaded with cute eyes. Blaize's eyes softened looking at her expression, he agreed. "Sure,"

Hancock then called Marigold and SanderSonia to her room. When her sisters reached her room, they were surprised to see Blaize and Hancock in revealing clothing.

"Elder sis...you..." Before they could finish their sentence Hancock exposed her clear back that's devoid of Celestial Dragon's Hoof Mark.

"How?" They looked at Hancock with incredulous eyes. They didn't understand what's happening and how their sister's mark disappeared. "Elder Sis..."

"He helped me in erasing the Mark...I asked him to remove yours too." Hancock spoke in a joyful tone, showing a smiling face.

Blaize then helped Hancock's sisters by erasing the Hoof Mark on their back as well. Especially, Sandersonia, who dropped to the floor bursting into tears and repeatedly thanked him.

"Unbelievable, you can really erase the Slave Mark that's said to be indelible." Elder Nyon who once again magically appeared in the room exclaimed. "You are no ordinary person! It's the Boa sisters' blessing to have met you."

Blaize simply smiled and spoke to Hancock. "Pirate Empress, I think it's time you turn the soldiers back to normal."

"You can call me Hancock."

"Ok"

Blaize then came to the port area along with Hancock, her sisters, and Elder Nyon. Hancock boarded the marine and used the ability to return the soldiers to normal.

After chatting with them for a few more minutes, Blaize returned to his ship and left Amazon Lily while Hancock gazed in the direction he left with a complex expression.

--

As his ship set sail, Blaize called Sengoku. "Sengoku-san, it's done."

"Good! I knew it, sending you was the right choice! I am in the middle of something, we will talk later. You can return to the New World!" Sengoku's voice came from the other side of the Den Den Mushi.

Ending the call, Blaize came out of his cabin and looked at the disappearing view of Amazon Lily. Don't know why but Hancock's beautiful face flashed before his eyes.

Without his knowing, his heart thumped faster than usual. 'Is it because of her devil fruit, or am I beginning to like her?' Blaize couldn't come to a conclusion.

What he doesn't know is, the same thing is happening to Hancock who still stood on the shore of the Island staring in the direction the Marine ships disappeared.

She touched her slightly excited heart which is beating faster than usual while her face had a tinge of redness around them.

--

New World,

Blaize enjoyed the sunrise by relaxing on the deck of the ship. He always enjoyed the feeling of bathing in the morning sunlight as it bring forth a pleasant feeling and strengthen his constitution.

After basking in the sun for an hour, Blaize then checked his status.

[~ Name: Blaize Hunt

Occupation: Marine

Constitution: 65.4

Devil Fruit: 62.7

Haki: 61.3

Free attribute point: 3.1 ~]

His attribute point rose by '0.1' after destroying the pirate crew, yesterday. He doesn't know how his current strength is, compared to the Yonko's.

With his current strength, he can fight Crystal but the same couldn't be said about the other Emperors as he knew they are on a different level.

Blaize desires to face the Emperor but till now, his unit hasn't been allowed anywhere near the Four Emperor's territory. They are basically responsible for the protection of the World-Government-affiliated Kingdoms.

Rarely, they will meet some pirate crews on the sea.

It's been ten days since Blaize and his unit returned to the New World. Nothing much happened in this short time aside from eradicating the pirate crew that tried to plunder the nearby Kingdom.

But today, an urgent report came from the Headquarters: a new devil fruit is discovered on some unknown island but it caused friction between the Whitebeard pirates and Beast Pirates.

Hearing the report, Blaize straightened his back while an excited expression surfaced on his face. "Finally, some good news!"
