Chapter 213: How Does It Feel to Be a Draculina?
Hancock slowly opened her eyes after sensing a faint light.
She found herself in a golden space with nothing else around her.
Suddenly, countless monsters surged from behind her, each one filled with violent bloodlust. They charged at her like an army of thousands. There were humans, Mink Tribe members, Giants, and even animals, all with bloodshot eyes and blood-red tears, their teeth bared and claws outstretched, like the zombies in some stories.
"Aaaaaah! Aaaaaah! Aaaaaah!" Hancock screamed in terror and turned to run. After running for an unknown distance with the monsters chasing her, she suddenly felt herself bumping into someone. She quickly looked up and saw a man standing in front of her, dressed in a blood-red coat, round sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed top hat. He was over two meters tall.
"Y-You, you are...!" Hancock took two steps back in disbelief, staring at the person. Even with the sunglasses, his attire and the aura that was exactly the same as the one on the wanted poster made it clear that this was the great pirate who had teamed up with the legendary great pirate, Golden Lion Shiki, to cause a ruckus in Marineford and Mariejois a while back.
Alucard the Immortal!
Why was he here? And where was this place anyway?
"Boa Hancock, how does it feel to die?" Alucard asked.
"You, you know my name?" Hancock didn’t know what to say, as she had too many questions in her mind.
"Heh," Alucard scoffed. "But you have chosen the path of a Draculina."
"Huh?" Hancock blinked, clearly confused by Alucard’s words. Alucard slowly bent down. In Hancock’s trembling gaze, he opened his mouth, revealing two rows of sharp fangs, and then sank them into Hancock’s neck.
"Aaaaaah!" Unable to hold back her panic, Hancock screamed again. When she snapped back to reality, she opened her eyes and saw that she was in a room. The incredibly familiar emerald green walls instantly brought back memories.
This was... that Celestial Dragon’s room.
Hancock recalled what had happened before she fainted. ’Right, I think I fought a man with green hair and then I collapsed. I also heard Sandersonia and Marigold’s voices.’
Hancock couldn’t help but pinch her face. The pain made her excited, and she clenched her fists, muttering to herself, "I... I’m still alive!"
"Hehehe..." Just then, Hancock heard a laugh from her right ear. She turned her head and saw a man sitting next to her, his back to her. He turned his head halfway, revealing sharp fangs as he smiled at her.
"Aaaah! Y-You are!" Hancock screamed. It was the man she had just seen in her dream, the man who had turned the World Government upside down! Alucard!
Alucard stood up from the coffin and turned around, laughing. "Hancock, how does it feel to be a Draculina?"
"Huh?" Only then did Hancock realize that she had been sleeping in a coffin. She touched her face and suddenly felt something strange in her mouth. Ignoring everything else, Hancock put a finger into her mouth and felt that two of her canine teeth had grown into sharp fangs!
"W-What is this?" Hancock looked at the large mirror next to her in disbelief and saw the fangs in her mouth.
At that moment, the hesitant voices of her two sisters came from outside the door. "O-Onee-sama, are you alright?"
Sandersonia and Marigold were both excited and scared when they heard their sister Hancock’s scream. At least it meant that she was awake, but they didn’t know why she was screaming.
Alucard walked to the door and, with his back to Hancock, said, "I finally managed to turn you into a Draculina. Don’t be in such a hurry to die."
As Alucard opened the door and walked out, Sandersonia and Marigold were stunned. The "Saint Aptheim" who walked out was completely different from the one who went in. They were frozen in place until Hancock herself came out. Only then did they snap out of it and ask Hancock, "O-Onee-sama, are you alright?"
"I’m fine." Hancock was also surprised. Her body, which had been on the verge of death from severe injuries, no longer felt any pain. "What... what exactly happened?" Hancock asked her two sisters in confusion.
Sandersonia put aside her shock at seeing Alucard for a moment and explained to Hancock, "Onee-sama, a few hours ago, you were... you were brought out of the arena by... us. Then, he... that person... sent you into the room. We’ve been guarding the door for the past few hours and don’t know what happened inside. And then..." Sandersonia’s voice trailed off.
The three sisters looked at Alucard, who was sitting on the giant ruby chair in the back, in disbelief. His posture and expression made him gradually overlap with the "Saint Aptheim" Celestial Dragon in their memories.
A few seconds later, Hancock screamed, "You, you and that Celestial Dragon... are the same person?"
Alucard acted as if nothing had happened and, as usual, gave an order to the three Hancock sisters in a flat tone. "Have you forgotten the rules of being a slave?"
"Y-Yes, master!" Hancock quickly walked up and poured wine for Alucard. However, in the next second, a sense of confusion washed over her. She asked herself, "S-Strange, why did I call him ’master’ without even thinking?"
Besides Hancock, who had accepted it a little faster for some reason, Sandersonia and Marigold were still in a state of disbelief.
The Celestial Dragon Saint Aptheim, who had been tormenting them, and the great pirate Alucard, were the same person.
What in the world was going on?
