Threatening the Empress with a Cero

"You..."

In an instant! Boa Hancock's pupils contracted sharply!

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I accidentally let my Conqueror's Haki get out of control." Haku scratched her head, looking a little embarrassed!

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to target you, it's just..."

As he spoke, he glanced at the Kuja Warrior lying all over the place.

Boa Hancock thought to herself: Okay! What's with the 'sorry'? He did it on purpose. What a shameless man!

Now that both sides have already taken action, there's no point in pretending anymore!

"The Slave Arrow"

Boa Hancock lightly touched her lips with her finger, and a huge pink heart-shaped substance appeared!

Then, pulling it back like a bow and arrow, it fired a barrage of pink arrows at Haku!

Haku knows this trick! The target hit by it will be petrified regardless of whether they are attracted to the Empress. Unlike "Mero Mero Mellow", this trick can petrify non-living things.

Haku simply used Shunpo to disappear from the spot; he dared not use Broken Sky to block such a conceptual move!

If he fails to defend himself, he risks being petrified!

"Damn it! Where did she go!" Boa Hancock cursed under her breath as she watched Haku dodge the attack so easily!

"I'm here!"

Boa Hancock tapped her shoulder with one finger, and that familiar voice rang out behind him!

Without hesitation, Boa Hancock turned and kicked out an Aroma Leg behind her!

Haku didn't draw her Ryujin Jakka; instead, she blocked the attack with her scabbard!

Then the scabbard in Haku's hand slowly turned to stone, until it shattered!

"Hey, that's pretty ruthless, actually using that trick against me." Haku stroked her chin, looking at Boa Hancock with a playful expression.

Hancock ignored Haku's teasing and kicked at Haku anyway.

Haku shook her head and said, "Really! Since you broke my scabbard, you have to buy me a new one!"

Boa Hancock scoffed, "Pay you? In your next life!"

Haku flashed to Boa Hancock's side and swung her sword at her with the hilt in her hand!

Boa Hancock's expression changed slightly; she hadn't expected Haku to be so fast!

Haku's scabbard struck the man in the abdomen, causing him to collapse and nearly kneel on the ground!

"Elder sister!"

"Elder sister!"

Two cries rang out simultaneously, and Sandersonia and Marigold rushed to Hancock's side to protect her!

"Get out of the way!" Boa Hancock said to the two people in front of her.

"The Slave Arrow!"

The pink arrow pierced the air again, heading straight for Haku; however, the attack still missed!

Haku herself was getting a little annoyed by Boa Hancock's petrification ability! So, Haku came up with her own countermeasures against this move!

To the astonishment of the others, a Bone Mask slowly appeared on Haku's face!

At the same time, the whites of his two eyes turned completely black!

"Playing tricks!"

Boa Hancock didn't give much thought to the changes in Haku! She fired another Slave Arrow in Haku's direction!

But this time, facing the enemy's arrows, Haku did not use Shunpo to escape!

He let the enemy's arrows rain down on him!

"What? How is this possible? How come my sister's Slave Arrow didn't petrify the enemy?" Marigold exclaimed in shock.

"Damn it!"

At that moment, Hancock's face showed both annoyance and confusion.

Why can't the man before her be petrified?

You need to know!

Faced with her Devil Fruit power, even the slightest hint of inappropriate thoughts would be instantly petrified!

But! The man before them not only perfectly withstood the petrification, he wasn't even affected!!

This was a huge blow to her! For the first time, she, who had always been proud and arrogant, experienced defeat!

She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her inner rage.

"Mero Mero Mellow!"

Boa Hancock changed her attack method this time, intending to petrify the person in front of her on the spot!

Haku allowed the heart-shaped light from the other party to pass through her, since she was affected by the mask as long as she wore Hollow Mask!

He no longer harbored any improper thoughts about Boa Hancock!

"How is this possible? Mero Mero Mellow is ineffective?" Boa Hancock stared wide-eyed at Haku in disbelief.

"That's right, your abilities are no longer effective against me, Boa Hancock," Haku said calmly.

Hearing Haku's words, Boa Hancock's heart sank. She knew she was in a very unfavorable situation. Not only could her opponent withstand her attacks, but they could also easily break through her abilities.

"What... what did you do?" Boa Hancock asked through gritted teeth.

"It's nothing, I just made your abilities ineffective against me," Haku said with a smile.

Boa Hancock remained silent, knowing that further questioning would be futile. If her opponent could nullify her abilities, they must have other methods to deal with her as well.

"You lost, so you'd better just agree to my terms!" Haku said, looking at Boa Hancock.

Boa Hancock remained silent, simply watching Haku. She knew she had lost the moment her powers failed her, but she was unwilling to accept it. She was the captain of the Kuja Pirates, and the Empress of Amazon Lily! How could she possibly lose to a man of unknown origin?

"I refuse to accept this!" Boa Hancock suddenly shouted, and then charged at Haku.

Haku smiled slightly, without flinching. He knew Boa Hancock had no chance of winning. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn't change that fact.

After playing for so long, Haku had no more interest in fooling around with the other person! Wearing the Hollow Mask, he just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible!

After defeating Boa Hancock, Haku slowly said, "It seems you still haven't grasped the difference in strength between us!"

As she spoke, Haku conjured a Cero, compressed to its maximum Cero, on her Zanpakuto!

Seemingly sensing the violent energy emanating from the Cero, waves of deadly danger washed over Boa Hancock and the others!

Soon, the Cero in Haku's hand grazed past the Kuja Pirates and shot towards the bow of the Perfume Snake!

"Boom!"

A series of violent explosions rang out!

As the Cero exploded, powerful shockwaves spread outwards!

Boa Hancock and the others were thrown away by the powerful shockwave!

After everything calmed down, Haku's hoarse voice rang out, "I think this time, you'll behave, right?"
