Chapter 23 - Hanc.o.c.k's cooking

The next day seth got up from the bad and started stretching ( starting from on many people's lives would depend on me, haaay can't do anything about it I already told hanc.o.c.k to relieve her duties so that she could take a good long rest ) he then wash himself got dressed and went out, while he was walking towards the throne room he smelled something burning.

He followed the smell what he saw was hanc.o.c.k trying to put off the fire, the egg got burned and the frying pan was on fire ( What? How can an egg be burned to an extent that it begun to burst into flames?! ) thought seth while watching a comical hanc.o.c.k who was running back and forth to extinguish the fire.

When the fire was finally extinguished she then turned towards seth with a red face and tears on her eyes, seth was put on an awkward spot he didn't know what to say to comfort her so he steeled his self and smile at her saying " It's okay to fail hanc.o.c.k, without experiencing failure you wont ever succeed " when she heard his words she brigthened up ( yes, why am I being so negative failure is only normal. yosh!! let's try it again! )

When seth saw the burning eyes of hanc.o.c.k he knew the he fcked up ( hayysss, looks like I wont get to eat anything until she succeeds ) seth then found a chair to sit down and watched hanc.o.c.k starting cooking again then she failed another try failed again and again and again .. ( I knew it, no food for you today Mr. nice guy )

After failing for who knows how many times hanc.o.c.k finally cooked an egg that wasn't burned she then presented it to seth with a toasted bread, seth who was day dreaming about food was surprised to see a plate with egg and bread infront of him he rubbed his eyes to see if he wasn't day dreaming which hanc.o.c.k saw and she started pouting at seth's reaction.

Seth realizing his mistake immediately smiled at hanc.o.c.k and shamelessy disregarded his mistake earlier and looked at food exclaiming " OMG! my princess sure knows how to cook, da*n this looks good let's stop being pirates and just open our own restaurant It would surely become famous. " seth was complementing her food like it was the best food in the entire one piece world just so that she would feel happy about her success.

Hanc.o.c.k knew that seth was just saying this to make her feel good, but even though she knew this she was still happy well who wouldn't be? the one she loves is complementing her food of course she would be happy she then sat opposite of seth and watched him eat with a smiling face.

He then looked at her and asked " why aren't you eating? are you on a diet? " hearing his words hanc.o.c.k just smiled and said " Well I'm not hungry I already ate some bread earlier " seth hearing that she already ate stopped asking.

After finishing his food he then asked hanc.o.c.k " did you already told elder nyon and your sisters about the arrangements? " she shooked her heard saying " I was busy preparing food for you and I was waiting for you so that we could tell them together. he nodded stood up and they went towards the throne room where they will have their meeting and discuss about their future actions.

When they reached the throne room sandersonia, marigold and elder nyon were already waiting for them on the throne room, then both seth and hanc.o.c.k proceeded towards the throne chair what shocked the three of them was that hanc.o.c.k wasn't the one who sat on the chair. but seth he looked comfortable like it was just the right place for him.

He then looked at three ladies infront of him with dumbfounded looks, sandersonia and marigold were about to lash out on him, he immediately released his conqueror's haki and pressured them to stand back. elder nyon didn't say anything and waited for seth to speak when they were already settled he then spoke " Starting today Boa Hanc.o.c.k one of the 7 warlords of the sea will resign, She will also step-down from being the empress of amazon lily. "

Sandersonia,marigold and elder nyon were shocked they can't process what seth just told them and looked at him with questioning looks, seth seeing them confused ignored them and continued " Elder nyon would then replace hanc.o.c.k as empress of amazon lily until a suitable heir would be chosen, Hanc.o.c.k will also step down from being the captain of the kuja pirates and will be replaced by sandersonia and marigold. "

Elder nyon was the first to react and asked " Why? why would she need to resign all her positions? " sandersonia and marigold also reacted " Yes! why would we listen to you! elder sister won't ever step down on being an empress of amazon lily and captain of the kuja pirates " seth hearing their words shook his head in dissapointment.

" You both are selfish do you know that " he looked at sandersonia and marigold then continued " did you know that your elder sister is already tired? she is carrying all this responsibilities and burden of keeping everyone in the amazon lily safe, your sister is already drained out she needs to rest and delegate trust worthy people to replace her position as captain."

Seth stopped talking even though he still got more to say to the two ignorant ladies infront of him. he let them think about their actions and waited for them to finish, sandersonia and marigold who were thinking about seth's words realized that he was right. they were ashamed because they were always beside their elder sister and they didn't even notice that she was burdened by a lot of things. they then promised to help their sister from here on out to take some of her burdens off her shoulders.

They then looked at seth with fire in their eyes they said with conviction " We Sandersonia and Marigold would glady accept our new roles as Captains of the Kuja pirates, we would do our best to lessen the burdens of our elder sister." they then looked at hanc.o.c.k who in response smiled at them with tears on her eyes, she was happy and touched that her sisters would accept to lessen her burdens.
