Yamato vs. Hancock! Recreating a Famous Line!

The moment the Golden Flying Dragon broke through the sea and surged onto the surface of the New World, the deck of the great ship instantly erupted in cheers.

"Is this the sea?!"

"The sunshine at sea is warmer than on Fish-Man Island!"

"That's real clouds, that's real sea breeze! It's different, everything is different!"

"We've finally reached the sea!"

Whether they were thugs from Fish-Man District or immigrants from Fish-Man Island Main Island, most of them were moved to tears.

The longing for land, sunshine, and sea breeze must have been etched into the bones of the Fish-Man Island inhabitants for at least Void Century ago.

Unfortunately, Joy Boy broke his promise eight hundred years ago.

So at this moment, the Fish-Man and mermaids who came to this sea surface were so excited that many of them jumped into the sea and swam happily on the surface, dancing with the fish in the water.

Is it necessary?

Violet pouted.

Everyone rushed onto the deck, and the once spacious deck, which could have been used to dock airplanes, instantly became crowded.

"Of course it's necessary."

Ian leaned against the ship's railing, chuckling as he looked down at the Fish-Man and mermaids frolicking on the sea below. "This is freedom."

Freedom is the most important thing in the world.

On this vast and boundless sea, no one should be restrained.

Although Fish-Man and mermaids seem to possess a vast and boundless deep sea far beyond the world on the surface, they are Fish-Man human beings. They cannot live in the dark, cold, and icy deep sea. Only the area near Fish-Man Island, protected by the Sun Tree Eve, is a place where they can survive.

They had been imprisoned in that narrow area.

That's why Fish-Man and pirates on the high seas have been so persistent despite repeated crackdowns; their yearning for freedom can never be extinguished.

"Free?"

Violet paused for a moment.

She had always been free and unrestrained since childhood, and all her family members treated her very well. She had never experienced anything like being restricted in her freedom before.

But now, she can understand it a little, because she met Ian and was even coerced by him into joining the Beasts Pirates.

She began to understand what it meant to be unfree.

What kind of freedom is this guy talking about?

Violet immediately cast a disdainful look at Ian.

Ian didn't take it to heart and just laughed.

I can do whatever I want; that's the freedom I have as a strong person.

"But we mustn't let anything happen to them."

Ian tilted his head. "Jack."

Jack was practicing his boxing on the deck not far away.

He has abandoned the sword and taken up boxing.

Because Ian suggested he learn Fish-Man techniques.

So during this time, he had been learning from the Fish-Man thugs who had joined the Beasts Pirates and were skilled in Fish-Man arts.

"What's wrong, Brother Ian!"

Upon hearing his most respected elder brother's call, Jack instantly stopped practicing his punches and rushed over.

Ian pointed to the sea, which was now restless due to the activities of the Fish-Man, and asked, "How are things going with the Fish-Man Unit?"

"Very good."

Jack said solemnly, "They all listen to me now."

"Oh?"

Ian raised an eyebrow.

I had no idea this young man had such talent all these years?

"I beat them all up one by one."

Jack honestly replied, "Then I told them that I would kill anyone who dared to disobey, and then they respected me a lot."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Ian burst into laughter.

Very good, very much in the style of the Beasts Pirates.

but.

Ian looked at his little brother with admiration.

His brutality against the Fish-Man Unit was to be expected; with Fisher Tiger and Jinbe absent, there was no one stronger than him on the entire Fish-Man Island.

"Then get your men moving."

Ian said, "Make sure they maintain order. We don't want any accidents to happen at such a joyous time."

"Yes."

Jack nodded solemnly, then immediately walked to the ship's side and shouted down, "Hey! You bastards! Listen up! Everyone, get to the outermost edge of the crowd and be on alert for any unusual activity!"

The next moment.

"Yes, Boss Jack!"

The Fish-Man Unit, which had been frolicking with ordinary residents on the sea surface, suddenly responded loudly and swam outwards without hesitation.

That should solve the problem.

Seeing this, Ian patted Jack's leg—that was all he could do—and said, "Well done, Jack."

Strict discipline, Jack! You even have the talent to be a general?

Jack's face contorted with excitement, his smile as radiant as a sunflower's. "It's what I should do!"

I'm so happy to have been praised by Brother Ian!

"Lord Ian!"

Just then, Hancock rushed out of the cabin with a delighted expression, pushing a food cart. "I've prepared afternoon tea for you!"

Jack instantly turned his head to look at Hancock face was flushed.

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but the moment Jack saw Hancock, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

Ian frowned instantly.

"I've prepared cake and black tea."

Hancock smiled and lifted the lid of the food cart, revealing a stack of cakes that, while not particularly exquisite, were at least presentable, along with a pot of steaming hot black tea.

It's clear that they put their heart into it.

This wasn't the first time; ever since they left Fish-Man Island, Hancock had always tried to please him in various ways.

To be honest, Ian wasn't very happy.

"Oh? Is there cake? I'm actually hungry!"

Dressed in a leather jacket and pants, with sunglasses perched on his forehead, paying homage to Teacher Kai, who was going for a cool and stylish look today, came over Yamato unhesitatingly picked up a small cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Then.

Wow! It's so sweet!

Yamato grinned, "Too sweet!"

Hancock's eyes froze instantly.

Ian's lips also stiffened.

"That's the food I prepared for Lord Ian!"

Hancock's face instantly darkened.

"Yeah?"

Yamato nodded, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone, "But Ian's things are mine, and my things are Ian's. It's always been like that."

This girl did it on purpose!

This isn't the first time.

Whenever Hancock tries to curry favor, Yamato always interrupts.

Ian turned his head and looked at Black Maria not far away.

The gigantic, blonde beauty smiled and waved at Ian, her lips moving silently as if to say, "Ian, don't you dare be unfaithful, okay?"

You're great, Maria.

Once I overthrow the old man and take power, I'll appoint you as my bed warmer. Let's see what you say then.

"..."

Upon hearing Yamato's words, Hancock's face turned deathly pale, and she looked at Ian with teary eyes, "Lord Ian!"

Ian felt a bit sweaty.

"Hehe, Ian,"

Ian was suddenly nudged in the elbow. He turned around and saw Luo grinning smugly, "Aren't you going to say anything?"

Ian grabbed the guy's head and threw him away.

Luo was still laughing loudly when he was thrown out.

This bastard is definitely getting more cheerful every day, but Ian misses his old, perpetually sullen face even more.

In that instant of turning his head, Ian saw Violet make an OK sign with both hands, covering her eyes upside down.

The girl's expression was somewhat agitated. In this situation, if everyone remained silent, they had no choice but to use their mind-reading abilities!

Ian glared at her fiercely, and the girl sheepishly lowered her hand.

To be honest, Ian didn't think Yamato did anything wrong, or rather, she should have done it.

Otherwise, Ian would start to doubt his life, because that would prove that his position in Yamato's heart was nothing more than that, making her feel no possessiveness at all.

But Hancock isn't easy to deal with either.

She really will die.

This is a future top-tier All-Stars -level combatant, and it's also related to Amazon Lily; we'll need their help to capture the ferocious beasts.

Ian didn't know what to say for a moment.

But at that moment, Jack lowered his head.

Brother Ian is troubled!

Hateful!

Those two stinky women actually dared to cause trouble for Brother Ian!

Jack was furious.

However, no matter how angry he was, he dared not vent his anger on his third most respected Sister Yamato, Yamato.

So, Warriors 'Jack came up with a plan.

"Can't you see that Brother Ian is troubled?"

Jack shouted, "If we must compete, let's settle this with our strength!"

Ian's face instantly darkened.

He also saw Jack nod slightly at him, a smug smile on his lips, as if to say, "Leave it to me, Brother Ian, you can rest assured."

You're such a thoughtful little brother.

I'm completely relieved.

Are you afraid the conflict isn't intense enough?

Hancock's eyes lit up instantly.

Yes, Lord Ian said that the Beasts Pirates believe in strength above all else, and that the strong prey on the weak!

So, if she defeats this eyesore of a white-haired woman, will she be able to replace her and continue her sweet and loving relationship with Lord Ian?

"That suits me perfectly!"

Yamato nodded in agreement even faster. She looked at Hancock, her chin slightly raised, her eyes disdainful. Although she was usually silly, at this moment she resembled the vicious female supporting character in a female-oriented novel, humiliating the innocent female lead. "Ready to get beaten up?"

"I will prove it to Lord Ian,"

Hancock straightened up. Although she was three years older than Yamato, she was actually shorter, but that didn't diminish her imposing manner. "Who's the better one!"

Ian has a toothache.

Indeed, office romances are a major taboo, let alone when it involves three people.

but.

Ian's eyes darkened.

Since we're going to fight, let's fight to the bitter end.

So, while the Fish-Man and mermaids around the large ship were having a great time, a clearing had been cleared out on the ship's deck.

Two exceptionally beautiful young women stood facing each other, surrounded by a crowd.

Ian sat on the gunwale, simply watching quietly.

"Hey, Lord Ian,"

Luo's slightly mocking voice came from the side. This guy sat down next to him, "How does it feel to have two great beauties dueling for you?"

"If you say another word, I'll throw you into the sea."

Ian said calmly.

"That was terrifying, I understand."

Luo pulled his hand across his mouth from left to right, indicating that he had zipped his mouth up.

But the smile on his face never stopped.

He simply stared at the two girls.

He was also somewhat curious: between Yamato and Hancock, who was stronger at this moment?

In the original work, both of them are among the most outstanding female powerhouses besides Charlotte Linlin. Yamato, who has mastered the Conqueror's Coating, should be even stronger. But now, between thirteen-year-old Yamato and sixteen-year-old Hancock, who is stronger?

"Don't expect me to go easy on you!"

Yamato pulled out the iron rod from her Kenjiro Two. As she poured her power into it, the rod instantly turned crystal clear and white, and a bone-chilling cold spread out instantly.

This woman is always harassing Ian; she's more annoying than the women on Amazon Lily or the mermaids on Fish-Man Island!

Give her a good beating!

Thinking this, an uncontrollable, violent aura began to surge, directly crushing towards Hancock.

But at the same time.

I will turn you into a stone statue.

Hancock tossed her long, jet-black hair, her tone indifferent.

She was always indifferent when dealing with people other than Ian.

However, unlike her cold words, an equally surging aura burst forth from her slender body, colliding with Yamato's Conqueror's Haki.

"Conqueror's Haki?"

Black Maria, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but exclaim, "This guy has it too?"

That's the aura of a king, one in a million!

And now, there are three people who own this ship?

Yamato, unable to contain himself any longer, launched himself forward, shouting, "Thunder Bagua!"

"Perfume Femur!"

Hancock showed no sign of dissatisfaction, launching herself forward with a flying kick.

The iron bar collided abruptly with Hancock's toes.

The difference is that Yamato's iron rod is pure white, while Hancock's toes are completely black.

With a Yamato and a howling wind, Yamato was sent flying backward in a sorry state.

"Yamato was defeated?"

Luo's mouth, which had been zipped up, opened again. "This woman!!"

He knew Yamato's strength very well; even compared to someone as exceptional as Ian, her strength was still monstrous.

Apart from Ian, no one on the Golden Flying Dragon was a match for her.

But now, Yamato has been kicked away with a single kick?

Ian, however, was not surprised at all.

Hancock is very strong.

During the previous battle on Amazon Lily, they demonstrated the ability to easily suppress those Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral.

This level of strength was certainly not something he honed after returning to Kuja.

Back in Mary Geoise, they were probably used as combat slaves, right?

This strength was honed amidst fear and despair.

"You're pretty good, aren't you!"

Yamato landed, but instead of being annoyed, his eyes lit up.

If Hancock is driven by love, then she's driven by battle, just like Teacher Kai. They both love strong guys!

"Then I'll give it my all!"

A cold wind instantly swept across the deck as the white werewolf made a dashing entrance.

"Mouth-Tearing Ice Fang!"

Yamato and exhaled, and under the influence of the power of Return to Life, the breath that should have been like mist condensed like a laser beam.

Mythical Zoan?

Hancock took a deep breath. "Let's do it!"

The black-haired girl leaped up, dodging Yamato's breath attack, and lightly touched her lips with her left hand, instantly drawing a large heart shape.

With a gentle pull of the right hand on the heart, it transformed into a crossbow ready to be fired.

"The Captive Arrow!"

A dense barrage of Peach-colored Arrows rained down from the sky, sweeping towards Yamato like a storm.

"Phantom Blade!"

With Yamato his spiked club, a slash of ice shot skyward.

However, the white slash was instantly turned to stone upon contact with the falling arrow, falling limply to the ground.

"Hey! It's turned to stone!"

Yamato was surprised Yamato retreated to avoid Hancock's shot. She had arrived late during the Battle of Amazon Lily and had not witnessed Hancock using her powers.

However, her attempt to dodge resulted in a large area of the deck turning into stone.

Ian's lips twitched.

Of course, Yamato didn't just dodge; he used Shave, his entire body flashing across the deck like a phantom.

Hancock couldn't aim properly.

"War Cry!"

With Yamato's powerful swing, a sharp Shockwave roared towards Hancock in the sky.

"Perfume Femur!"

As Hancock landed, she casually kicked away the incoming Shockwave.

But before she even landed...

"Divine Foot - White Snake Drive!"

Yamato has already struck like Inazuma.

"Captive Arrow!"

The heart in her hand swelled, Hancock fired a giant arrow with a backhand motion, piercing through the air like a missile.

Yamato had no choice but to change tactics on the spot, leaping into the air and spinning his iron rod, shouting, "Resurrecting the Three Worlds - Drawing Naraku!"

"Captive Impact".

Hancock pushed the heart-shaped object in her hand upwards, and as it flew out, it expanded into a giant heart that crashed into Yamato.

Ian raised an eyebrow. "You can do that?"

But then I thought, the Love-Love Fruit's power can turn into arrows, so what's wrong with shooting out hearts to hit people?

Boom!

The heart was instantly smashed to pieces by Yamato's iron bar, but at the same time, Yamato had already stepped on the air and fled, afraid of being petrified.

"Great Perfume Femur!"

Just then, Hancock launched herself upwards and delivered a flying kick to Yamato.

Ian shook his head.

Hancock, you've lost your mind.

Yamato is just waiting for you to get close.

You excel at close combat, but Yamato excels even better.

Sure enough, Yamato's eyes lit up instantly, "Thunder Bagua!!"

The iron bar and Hancock's toes finally collided once again.

But this time it's different.

Hancock plummeted downwards like a meteorite, her face pale.

What incredible strength!

"Don't even think about running away!"

Yamato charged forward like a leech, "Gundari Dragon Bloom!!"

The iron rod transformed into a torrential downpour.

Hancock gritted her teeth, "Perfume Femur!"

With their toes touching the iron bar, the clash between the two caused the entire ship to tremble slightly, and the resulting gale made Ian squint.

Hancock has fallen below.

A simple kick is not enough to petrify Yamato's Haki. Although Yamato can't freeze her either, Yamato's strength is much greater.

Moreover, although Yamato doesn't yet possess Observation Haki, she's nearly there. Combined with her beast-like intuition, she's not afraid to engage in a fast-paced attack with Hancock.

It was very sudden.

"Oh! I see! I finally understand!"

Yamato suddenly burst into laughter.

Ian opened his eyes.

But then they saw that the iron rod in Yamato's hand was stained with black.

A last-minute breakthrough, huh?

Are you the protagonist and am I the protagonist?

Ian remembered that he mastered Armament Haki hardening after fighting Marco; he hadn't mastered it during the fight.

As his Haki deepened, Yamato's iron rod suddenly became even more powerful.

"It's over!"

The white-haired girl smiled smugly, "Roaring Thunder Eight Trigrams!!"

So you think you can claim to know the Roaring Thunder Eight Trigrams just because you've mastered Hardening?

If you were to learn the Flowing Haki, wouldn't that be the Great Vajra Thunder Bagua?

Ian squinted.

Although it was a bankrupt version of the Roaring Thunder Eight Trigrams, Yamato's attack was still quite powerful, sending Hancock flying.

To make matters worse, Hancock's right foot was frozen solid!

The black-haired girl landed, but before she could get up, the deck was instantly frozen solid, and she was frozen to the ground.

Just as she was about to break free of the ice, Yamato landed beside her, placing a gleaming iron rod on her forehead.

You lost!

Yamato chuckled.

Hancock froze instantly, then turned deathly pale.

Seeing this, Ian sighed. He had to do something, otherwise Hancock would really die here.

So, Ian said,

"Let's leave it at that, Hancock."

Hancock trembled, and the girl turned her head blankly to look at Ian.

Ian said meaningfully,

"Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding."

Famous line!

My bad, something came up today, I'm late...
