--- Chapter 405 ---
Huo Yuhao faced Boa Hancock with a headache.
Honestly, this pirate empress is something because her qualifications are among the best in the world. However, there is something wrong with her head!
He stared at the beauty with a complicated look because this woman had awakened her Devil Fruit, but not in a good way. She ate Mero-Mero no Mi, which allowed her to wield the concept of love.
The problem is that the concept of love is high-level. After all, it was one of the most precious emotions.
And what Boa Hancock awakened is not love but obsession.
To be precise, the "Will" of Mero-Mero no Mi she ate affected her on the soul level. Huo Yuhao was 'rather' afraid that Boa Hancock wouldn't be herself if this continued.
Of course, Huo Yuhao has a way to deal with this problem.
He only needed to shift Boa's obsession to something else, or perhaps someone.
No, wait. Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched slightly because Boa's obsession seemed to shift to himself already.
He was thinking about what could help Boa's problem but then realized that her obsession stemmed from her getting enslaved by the Celestial Dragon at a young age.
If Huo Yuhao hadn't arrived at Tiny World two years ago and declared a 'simple' war against the World Government and Celestial Dragons, Boa Hancock might still have followed the plot and fallen in love with Luffy madly.
It comes in full circle. The butterfly effect changed the world and the people who lived inside it.
"I don't know if this was a good thing." Huo Yuhao felt the Harem's halo was a bit strong now.
After some consideration, he decided not to think too much about it.
Let it flow naturally.
Huo Yuhao cleared her throat and said, "Okay, now that [Kuja Army] has come into existence, we can start awakening your Martial Soul."
"Hancock, Sandersonia, Marigold, come forward. As the chief and vice-chiefs, I will awaken your Martial Soul personally."
Boa Hancock stepped forward confidently, and her two sisters followed behind.
Huo Yuhao carved Spirit Awakening Rune on the ground and injected his divine power casually because he had done this a dozen times after arriving in this world.
Boa Hancock and two sisters were 'deeply' filled with expectation as golden light wrapped their bodies.
Sandersonia and Marigold let out a howl. They felt an invisible force knead their bodies like playing with clay, reshaping them into a more perfect form.
As the golden light on their bodies dissipated, the [Kuja Army], Rayleigh, and his wife not far away were shocked.
Rayleigh, in particular, was dumbfounded because he had witnessed some Spirit Awakening, but none of them were like this!
Physical changes have never occurred so far.
Sandersonia slowly opened her eyes and looked down, noticing her arm had become more slender but didn't lose its strength. At the same time, she felt her Devil Fruit's power had become easier to control.
Not too long after, Marigold also opened her eyes. She frowned slightly because her body had shrunk too much.
Unlike Hancock and Sandersonia, who are slender and thin, Marigold trained her body more than them and bulked up like a Sumo Wrestler, layering her muscles repeatedly.
But now, her 'big' figure has shrunk to be more compact.
In fact, Marigold felt her strength wasn't decreasing but increasing instead.
"Sister, your body." Sandersonia stared at Marigold in disbelief.
Marigold stared at Sandersonia likewise and covered her mouth, "Sister, your head."
After awakening their Martial Soul, Sandersonia and Marigold made up for their defect and looked more similar to Boa Hancock. After all, they are blood-related.
Of course, each has differences, such as their hair and physique.
But looking at facial features, they are 90% look alike.
"Release your Martial Souls." Although Huo Yuhao was also stunned by two of the Gorgon Sisters' evolution, he hurriedly calmed his curiosity and instructed in one breath.
In the void, Zoey cast a look of contempt on this low-level evolution. As a higher-level lifeform, Sandersonia and Marigold's case is nothing but a failure in her eyes.
Still, Zoey found another interesting point about this conceptual lower world. She could tell both Gorgon Sisters ate a Concept Fruit of animal-type, probably snake ones, and evolved into a better lifeform after touching Huo Yuhao's divine power (luck).
It means their chance of evolving is heavily affected by Huo Yuhao's luck, or else this won't happen.
'What an abnormal luck you have there.' Zoey noticed this but couldn't connect Huo Yuhao's luck with the legendary Radiant Epoch.
At the same time, Sandersonia and Marigold released their Martial Souls, and two massive serpentine monsters appeared before everyone's eyes.
Due to Tiny World's natural laws and blood from D, each creature could grow as big as a skyscraper. There is a "giant" essence in their blood.
So, back in the early times, even a snake could grow as big as a giant.
After centuries, these animals' concepts condensed and ripened into Devil Fruits.
Sandersonia ate [Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Anaconda].
And Marigold ate [Snake-snake Fruit, Model: King Cobra].
These snakes are one of the best snake types, which allowed them to awaken Martial Soul of a higher grade.
Behind Sandersonia is a three-headed anaconda over twenty meters with azure-like lustrous skin. This beast of a snake gave one a suffocating feeling as its massive body would crush them to paste.
Behind Marigold is a king cobra over fifteen meters with a sword-shaped head, dark-red scales-covered skins, and a pair of fleshy wings. It has extreme heat lingering around its mouth.
Huo Yuhao scanned them with the help of Evo and mumbled, "Three-headed Swamp Anaconda King and Dark-Winged Fire Cobra King."
"Not bad."
Yes, Huo Yuhao was honest with his comment. Although both Martial Souls mutated due to the presence of Devil Fruit, it was still a benign mutation that's rare in the Douluo Dalu World.
On top of that, as Gorgon Sisters mastered the concept of Devil Fruit, their Martial Soul will continue to mutate and evolve into a superior lifeform. Even without Huo Yuhao's help, becoming a dragon is still possible.
Then, a piercing light broke the golden light and soared to the sky.
"This is..." In the void, Zoey was a little surprised.
"Transforming concepts into law?"
"There is such a good thing from this world?"
Everyone stared at the golden cocoon around Boa Hancock and saw a giant silhouette slowly manifesting with starlights. Seven-colored lights followed and hit the forming giant, turning into a beautiful yet slender serpentine body.
Two charming purple eyes opened, gazing down at all creatures but Huo Yuhao.
Zoey's eyes widened, "Heaven Swallowing Python!"
"How come a low-level world could awaken such a beast!"
"And this is not an ordinary Heaven Swallowing Python, but the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, which has the potential to become Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python at 6 Sequence and Twelve-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python at 7 Sequence!"
Zoey was speechless. Her face contorted in discomfort because this was no ordinary case.
She glanced at Huo Yuhao, "Him."
"It must be him."
"But how?"
Huo Yuhao also stared at the giant python in disbelief.
He obviously recognized the Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, even if he didn't use Evo's scan, because this creature is a Magical Beast from a famous Cultivation World - Battle Through the Heaven!
One of the protagonist's wives was Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, and later evolved into Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python, becoming one of the powerhouses in said world.
Huo Yuhao felt this wasn't simple, "Don't tell me Battle Through the Heaven World was close to Tiny World? No, it can't be."
"I thought the Tiny World was close to the Fate Universe?"
"What's exactly happening here??"
There must be a secret about this world that Huo Yuhao didn't know.
