Chapter 301 - 301: The Awakening of the Three

The room on the Argo suddenly transformed; with a sudden deformation, the ceiling retracted, and the three people inside floated out.

Hera supported her lower back as she walked out the door, took the grilled meat Kuina had prepared, and began to recover her stamina.

Light pink and golden spiritual energy swirled around Hancock. Her innate Conqueror's Haki fused with the spirit power of Hoshimiya Mukuro, turning into fine stardust that circled around her.

The 'spirit dress: Number Six' appeared on Hancock.

A pink and purple short cheongsam that fit Hancock's figure emerged on her; the collar and cuffs of the cheongsam were embroidered with brilliant constellation patterns, with faint starlight shimmering on the lines.

The neckline of the cheongsam featured an elegant crossover design, revealing her fair neck, and the star-shaped pendant at the collar complemented the snake-shaped pendants hanging from her ears.

A wide golden belt was tied around her waist, outlining her slender waistline, with a small key-shaped charm hanging from the end of the belt, which was the miniature version of the spirit dress 'Raziel'.

Her originally pitch-black long hair shimmered with a faint golden light after the spirit dress was unleashed, making her entire person seem to emit a glow.

Ink-black and white light intersected on Reiju, gently wrapping around her body; the 'spirit dress: Number Two' appeared on Reiju.

Her original pink combat suit and the butterfly wings behind her disappeared, transforming into an ink-black nun's habit.

A simple white veil appeared on her head, and a silver quill pen appeared on the edge of the veil.

The hem of the spirit dress reached her knees, dotted with patterns of pages; as the hem turned, it was as if flipping pages were flowing.

A book appeared in Reiju's hands; her spirit dress, 'Manuscript', emerged. The book snapped open, and streams of energy were injected into it.

Ink-colored text continuously poured into the Manuscript. With the final influx of text, the light of the Manuscript dissipated, and it closed.

Pure white spirit energy erupted from Theseus, even gradually spreading to the Argo; the 'spirit dress: Number One' appeared on Theseus.

A slim-fitting gown resembling a pure white wedding dress covered Theseus's tall figure, and the V-neck design revealed his slender collarbone.

His white hair, which reached his waist, became increasingly fluffy as it was imbued with spiritual power, with a faint silver sheen visible at the ends.

He wore a simple silver crown on his forehead, inlaid with a white crystal; upon closer inspection, one would find that there seemed to be a warship inside this crystal.

A layer of transparent veil hung down around the crown, just like a wedding veil, shrouding Theseus.

Three pairs of white wings gradually condensed behind him, glowing with a silver-white light, and in the center of the wings was a silver-white halo.

Several floating cannons appeared behind him, circling the halo, and the white light from the muzzles looked exceptionally terrifying.

The Argo also changed with Theseus's transformation, with the whole body shifting from its original black and gold to silver-white, and the hull flashed with golden light, looking extremely high-tech.

As the spirit dresses appeared on the three of them, the light that had been wrapping around them retracted into their bodies, and the three of them slowly opened their eyes and looked at each other.

Seeing Hera eating, Hancock flew over and hugged her: "As expected of the person I chose, you can actually bring me new power."

"More importantly, you actually made me even more beautiful. How should I repay you?"

Theseus looked at the spirit dress on his body, and his originally cold temperament vanished as he spoke. He hugged his clothes, revealing a somewhat lecherous smile:

"Hehehehe, so it's a wedding dress? As expected, Captain still has me in his heart."

Reiju looked at the Manuscript in her hand. Although she knew the function of the item the moment she awakened the spirit crystal, she still couldn't believe it.

After looking at it for a long time, Reiju held the book in her hand in disbelief and looked at Hera:

"The location of the Final Island, Laugh Tale, what the great treasure really is, the truth of the 800 years, and the three ancient weapons—is everything recorded in here true?"

Hera struggled to lift her head from Hancock's embrace: "Yes, didn't you know the function of this thing? Since it's written on it, it's true."

Reiju looked at the Manuscript in her hand, somewhat dazed: "In that case, if we spread the information inside, would we be the Pirate King right now?"

Hera didn't say anything more and just focused on eating; even for her, helping three people awaken at once was still too much.

If she hadn't found the Toki Toki no Mi before leaving Wano Country and absorbed its power to enhance her own spiritual power, she felt like her body would have been drained dry.

Yamato looked at the three changing people with envy, her eyes seemingly lighting up: "So cool, it's just like transforming. Captain, I want this ability too."

Hera thought about it; the remaining ice-attribute spirit crystal she had was quite suitable for Yamato, but it wasn't the right time yet.

Seeing that Hera had gradually recovered her energy, Nami restarted the Argo and approached Egghead Island.

Hera pushed away Hancock, who was clinging to her, and comforted her: "There is still serious business to do now. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Hancock looked at the approaching port, and realizing that there was serious business to be done, she pulled back the hands that were hugging Hera.

Reiju continued to immerse herself in the records of the Manuscript.

Kizaru at the port noticed that the Argo had changed its appearance. After it got closer, he took off the newspaper covering his face and looked at Hera, who had already disembarked:

"Yo, long time no see, Nightmare Admiral. I've seen your activities in the newspaper. Young people these days are truly terrifying."

Hera glanced at the newspaper Kizaru was looking at; it reported the photo of Hera fighting two Emperors alone, and the picture was so realistic that it looked like it was taken while standing next to the battlefield.

Hera couldn't help but complain: "I really don't know how this guy took the photo. He was actually able to gather material amidst such combat aftermath."

The headline of the newspaper for this picture read directly: "This era belongs to the Marine, and it belongs to the Nightmare."

Even the news of Luffy awakening Gear 5 to fight Big Mom and becoming a new Emperor of the Sea was pushed to the side by the news of Hera fighting two Emperors alone.

"Alright, just call me Hera. Do we need to be so formal between us? If you hadn't brought me here to build the Argo, I would still be that recruit who hadn't gone to sea yet."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Kizaru asked curiously: "Why did you come here? I didn't receive any news about this on my end."

Hera got straight to the point: "I came here to take Vegapunk away."
