Hanc.o.c.k got shock then stop moving
The Kuja pirates got confuse again by their conversation
Sansersonia and Marigold got a guess on what they talking about
'Is he talking about the mark on our back?'
'How did he found out?'
The both of them thought
The mark on their back is there biggest secret, they just can't casually tell it to anyone
"Why should I trust your word?"
Hanc.o.c.k said
"You human males always lie"
