Total Domination: Peacock at Dawn, Tiger at Noon!
Seeing that Hancock refused to concede, Feng Lei decided to strike hard and teach her a lesson.
Otherwise, she would really think he couldn't handle her!
With that thought,
a powerful aura erupted from Feng Lei.
"Seventh Gate, Gate of View, open!"
In an instant,
a green glow enveloped Feng Lei.
A powerful pressure descended on Hancock.
Hancock's expression changed.
"What's going on?"
Sensing Feng Lei's aura, she felt her heart tremble.
Had he not used his full strength in their earlier exchange either?
The next moment,
before she could recover from her surprise, Feng Lei vanished from where he stood.
Then,
as if he had crossed the distance in a single step, he appeared before Hancock. His right foot, glowing like a red-hot branding iron and carrying scorching heat and powerful Armament Haki, shot toward her chin at a vicious angle.
"He's so fast!"
A wave of heat rushed toward her, bringing a burning sensation to her pretty face. Hancock's expression changed drastically.
His speed was astonishing.
It seemed
he wanted to match kicks with her too?
"Perfume Femur!"
Seeing Feng Lei try to defeat her with such a fierce, tricky move, Hancock felt anger surge within her.
She immediately wrapped her long leg in Armament Haki and slammed it against Feng Lei's right foot.
Bang!
The terrifying clash of their kicks cracked the deck beneath them.
But
the instant they made contact,
Hancock's expression changed drastically.
An immense force came through her foot, overwhelming her kick like a primordial beast.
The terrifying force and heat sent waves of pain through her long leg.
How could he have such terrifying power? The thought flashed through Hancock's mind as she shot backward, trying to put some distance between herself and Feng Lei.
But while she was still retreating,
Hancock looked up.
Feng Lei had vanished!
The Feng Lei in front of her was nowhere to be seen.
She hurriedly used Observation Haki.
Then
she was shocked to discover that Feng Lei had somehow appeared above and behind her.
At that moment,
Feng Lei unleashed a continuous barrage of punches, his arms swinging at incredible speed, his fists as dense as a sudden downpour.
"Morning Peacock!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless blazing bursts of punching force tore through the air. Dense gusts of punches carried a scorching red glow, pouring down in a barrage like peacock feathers fanned across the sky.
In an instant,
the barrage completely engulfed Hancock.
I can't dodge it!
Hancock's pupils contracted.
Even with Observation Haki, Feng Lei was too fast, and his attacks were too dense, exceeding her ability to react and escape.
She was at a disadvantage in both strength and speed!
When had a monster like this appeared in the Navy?
But soon,
she reacted.
Since she couldn't dodge, she would meet attack with attack!
"Great Perfume Femur!"
Hancock braced one hand against the deck, channeled Armament Haki into both feet, and delivered a spinning kick in midair.
This was her strongest attack.
She had cultivated her Armament Haki to the level of Internal Destruction.
It was powerful enough to kick a mountain apart!
Boom!!
In midair,
a tremendous crash rang out.
She kicked Morning Peacock apart, and her foot struck Feng Lei squarely.
"Navy man, it's over!"
Her full-powered kick met the peacock's fan spread across the sky, producing a sonic boom and even trailing thin streaks of black lightning.
But the scene Hancock had expected, in which she defeated Feng Lei, did not occur. Although her kick had scattered his attack,
when
it landed on Feng Lei,
she was stunned to discover
that he showed no sign of pain.
Bang!
Feng Lei took Hancock's kick head-on and landed on the warship completely unharmed.
His entire body had turned black, as if covered in Armament Haki, but the hardness of his flesh far surpassed Armament Haki Hardening.
After all, if Armament Haki Hardening only affected the surface,
then
her Armament Haki: Internal Destruction kick should have been enough to pass through his exterior and attack Feng Lei's insides.
But
Feng Lei's insides were just as hard.
In other words,
Feng Lei had cultivated both his exterior and interior to the point where he could ignore Armament Haki: Internal Destruction!
"How is that possible!?"
Even Hancock, the proud empress,
felt stormy waves rise in her heart when she reached that conclusion.
After all,
although the outside of the human body could be hardened with Armament Haki to block attacks,
the internal organs were the most fragile and softest parts of the body, and could not be trained like the rest of it.
That was what made Armament Haki: Internal Destruction so terrifying.
Yet the Navy man before her had cultivated even his internal organs, and every single cell, to a state as hard as diamond.
This was beyond her comprehension!
Not far away,
Sandersonia and her sister stood on the pirate ship, watching Feng Lei take the Great Perfume Femur head-on and emerge completely unscathed. They couldn't help showing their shock.
"How did he do that? He actually took our sister's strongest kick!"
"Even Armament Haki Hardening shouldn't have left him unharmed, right? Sister used Armament Haki: Internal Destruction to its absolute limit in that kick!"
As far as they were concerned,
Hancock's use of that kick should have been enough to declare the fight over.
But an extraordinary scene had unfolded instead.
Feng Lei was fine!
Completely unharmed.
If he had dodged it, they might have found it easier to accept.
But Feng Lei had taken it head-on.
That was somewhat beyond their imagination.
Feng Lei looked at the stunned Hancock, a faint smile touching his lips.
The Ninjutsu Earth Release: Earth Spear did more than simply harden his exterior. It transformed every cell in his body into a state as hard as the mineral diamond.
In other words,
whether it was his exterior, his internal organs, or even every cell in his body, all were as hard as diamond.
That so-called Armament Haki: Internal Destruction couldn't even break through his surface defenses, let alone reach his insides!
"It would be rude not to return the favor!"
"Your Excellency, Empress, take one of my attacks too!"
Feng Lei crossed his hands in front of him and spoke slowly.
"Seventh Gate, Gate of Wonder, open!"
Violent cracks erupted one after another from his joints as the muscles all over Feng Lei's body swelled wildly.
The sweat in his body evaporated at an astonishing speed, forming blue steam around him as a mighty pressure swept out in every direction!
Seeing this, Hancock was finally shaken!!
"This aura! This kind of power!"
"How is this possible..."
The overwhelming pressure made even her breathing grow slightly ragged.
Sensing the terrifying power within Feng Lei, like a primordial beast lying in wait, even she, proud as she always was, couldn't help wondering.
Could she withstand it?
During the moment she stood there in a daze,
Feng Lei attacked.
Feng Lei bent forward, gathered all the power of the Gate of Wonder into both fists, and punched forward with all his might!
"Daytime Tiger!"
Terrifying punching force burst through the air, transforming into the apparition of a colossal, ferocious azure tiger that roared toward Hancock!
