Do You Still Need to Doubt It?

Garp and Oboro began their 'second round' of combat, but Shiryu and Enel had lost all interest in watching.

Although Garp seemed to be attacking the captain with all his might, and the battle seemed somewhat 'intense', compared to the captain's relaxed attitude, Garp was completely acting like a 'last gasp' in a frenzy... Of course, the power of their hand-to-hand combat was still incredibly impressive.

But it can only be said that it added a final bit of excitement to this 'fight to the death'.

Shiryu took a puff of his cigar, glanced at Enel who had already turned into lightning and disappeared into the distance, and then turned and left.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the island.

The Kuja Pirates, led by Shichibukai Boa Hancock, have run into trouble.

They were unable to reach the island as they had hoped.

Because several officers of the Hell Pirates blocked their way.

Although they had an overwhelming numerical advantage, the warriors of Kuja were suppressed due to the abilities of one of their opponents.

Waldo gripped an old-fashioned musket, firing relentlessly at the dark mass of women swimming ashore. Each bullet was capable of taking a life. His Momo-Momo Fruit amplified the speed of his bullets, making it impossible for ordinary Kuja warriors to react, let alone defend themselves.

Moreover, the bullets are imbued with a powerful Haki, making them even more lethal.

Waldo laughed wildly.

He seemed to be enjoying watching the bodies lying face up, splattered with blood.

Even when the Kuja warriors used human shields to force their way up to Waldo and attempt a close-quarters attack, it was to no avail. The old man's physical skills and combat abilities were equally terrifying; he could fire a gun while simultaneously unleashing his fists and feet. With each swing of his limbs, a nearby enemy would be struck and rendered incapacitated.

Besides his own combat strength, Waldo's divine power came from Chaton, a candidate for Admiral.

Furthermore, due to the previous attack, Boa Hancock's ship had been severely damaged and was stuck at sea.

Waldo uprooted large trees from the shore and hurled them like javelins with tremendous force. These tree trunks, besides possessing astonishing strength, were also amplified in size and speed by the Momo-Momo Fruit. With the blessing of divine power, Waldo's fruit ability, which was originally limited to 1 to 100 times its original power, could now be pushed to a staggering 150 times, making it incredibly powerful.

As for the three Boa Hancock sisters, they had no time to pay attention to the crew members who were falling like leeks after being cut down on the shore.

Because... they also encountered trouble.

Boa Hancock, her face covered in sweat and slightly panting, stared at the rude and terrifying man before her.

She has been targeted by Yurivich.

After a brief exchange, he gained no advantage whatsoever.

Her Devil Fruit ability doesn't seem to be very effective against this 'giant'.

The other party seemed somewhat indifferent to women, and on the other hand, this person possessed an extremely powerful and domineering Haki.

The second of the three sisters, the green-haired Boa Sandersonia, is facing Dom, the most famous Hell Pirates.

Boa Marigold, was injured by Rob Lucci, who had betrayed the World Government and was the former captain of CP9.

In short, the situation is very bad for the Kuja Pirates.

Boa Hancock had a vague feeling of unease as soon as she woke up this morning. Although Rayleigh had repeatedly told them not to disturb Luffy's training, Boa Hancock still came out of concern and worry... Sure enough, her intuition came true. The Hell Pirates had actually come to Rusukaina!

Hearing the loud sounds of battle coming from afar on the island, Boa Hancock's heart skipped a beat. She didn't know what Luffy's current situation was.

"You vulgar, lowly man... Get out of my way right now! I'm going to find Luffy!"

Boa Hancock had no time to care about her sisters. Her biggest worry right now was Luffy. She wiped her sweat, struck her signature pose, leaned back, pointed at Yurivich with her slender, jade-like fingers, and loudly scolded him.

However, faced with such a stunning beauty, Yurivich remained unmoved; instead, the murderous intent in his eyes intensified.

They vanished from their spot in an instant.

Boa Hancock frowned, twirled her skirt and waist, and swiftly kicked back with her long legs, colliding with the incoming broadsword.

Both of them simultaneously unleashed their Haki.

Pistol Kiss!

Then, Boa Hancock deftly flipped over, creating distance. In the instant her body turned, she grabbed the heart-shaped object from her mouth and fired at Yurivich with a 'Pistol'... However, it was difficult to hit her. Not only was the opponent too fast, but her movements were also completely unpredictable, which was completely inconsistent with her enormous body.

Boa Hancock found that her extensive combat experience was not enough to 'dataficate' this person in her mind and generate a battle plan.

She was not facing a powerful being with human thoughts, but rather a wild beast! The opponent was attacking with primal savagery and instinct.

If a single-trajectory Pistol Kiss doesn't work, then expand the range.

"The Slave Arrow!"

After regaining her balance, Boa Hancock touched her lips, drawing a striking pink heart shape, and then launched herself into the air like a drawn bow. Unlike Sweet Wind, this move would petrify even those without lust if struck by the rain of arrows.

Even if it's not a living thing.

Before the rain of arrows could even fall, Yurivich's massive frame had already flashed in front of the woman and raised his broadsword.

His attack speed... was clearly faster than the Empress activating her Devil Fruit ability!

Boa Hancock's pupils contracted.

Driven by a wild instinct for attack and possessing unparalleled physical coordination, this person maintains an optimal fighting posture at all times, unleashing extraordinary speed every second. Their judgment and capture of opportunities during combat seem to require no conscious thought; they execute the best counterattacks effortlessly.

The Moon Breathing, the land takes form Perpetual Night, Lonely Moon – Incessant.

In the blink of an eye, the greatsword was nimbly swung, and countless dense, massive, arc-shaped slashes radiated outwards from Yurivich.

Boa Hancock was too close and was the first to be hit by the blade's edge.

Yuri inherited the power of Kokushibo, which has become a form of swordsmanship in the world of One Piece... Relying on his physique and strength, as well as his exaggeratedly large sword, even the most ordinary slashes have the effect of destroying the withered and decaying.

Boa Hancock Observation Haki, her graceful figure dodging the narrow gaps in the slashes, but her skirt was still torn to shreds by the blades, and her clothes were left in tatters.

As soon as a sword technique was executed, Yurivich suddenly twisted his wrist, changing his grip on the knife.

The Moon-Dragon Ringtail!

This time, an even more astonishing number of crescent-shaped slashes were used. Unlike the huge arc-shaped blade light, these crescent-shaped rainbow rays were smaller and more fragmented, yet they were able to fill a space within a radius of a thousand meters.

All the officers of the Hell Pirates were well aware of how terrifying Yurivich was.

Once this behemoth gets close, you'll face an endless barrage of slashes... and each slash will be equally powerful, brimming with destructive force. Don't be fooled by Yurivich's physique; having grown to this level, Yurivich's swordsmanship has reached a 'remarkably refined' level.

For an ordinary swordsman, unleashing a single slash requires a significant amount of stamina.

But for Yuri, who possesses superhuman flesh and strength, his slashes are larger, wider, and more impactful... Most fatally, for him, slashes, which other swordsmen have to 'exert all their strength' to use, are as simple as breathing, with no concern about stamina whatsoever.

His monstrous physique allows him to unleash every strike with Haki...

If we were to pinpoint the difference between him and Shiryu, it would be in their understanding and mastery of swordsmanship, specifically their 'inner level'... In Shiryu's eyes, Yuri's control over swordsmanship was still too crude and not pure enough.

He's a bit of a 'reckless brute'.

Of course, Shiryu's swordsmanship and fighting style are not suitable for Yuri.

Because aside from his swordsmanship, Yuri's true strength lies in his physical body.

The two players are fundamentally different in terms of their playing styles and styles.

In short, even without the knife in his hand, Yuri, this monster, is not much less of a threat.

But Shiryu... is different.

Boa Hancock was instantly engulfed in a torrent of slashes.

There's no way to dodge this.

A moment later, amidst the deafening roar of the intertwined strikes, the Empress landed on the ground, covered in blood, her two slender arms crossed in front of her.

At that moment, a sharp sound of something cutting through the air came from behind.

Before Boa Hancock even hit the ground, she was kicked by a high-heeled shoe.

Perfume Femur! But the one who came wasn't Yurivich, but a large knife thrown by a man.

The blade shattered into pieces upon being kicked by her.

But it was this kick that created an opening for Boa Hancock in mid-air.

A rough, large hand followed closely behind, gripping the woman's fair neck tightly and slamming her into the ground like a cannonball.

Yurivich also knew that the woman's Sweet-Sweet Fruit ability was extremely dangerous.

Even though he doesn't feel anything for 'beauty', the power of the Love-Love Fruit still poses a deadly danger to him to some extent.

One careless move could lead to being caught off guard and put you at a disadvantage.

Just as Yurivich's battle with the Empress ended, a massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky, sweeping across the entire coastline.

Those Amazon warriors who were still putting up a stubborn resistance were instantly and accurately struck by high-frequency electric rays.

Such a wide-ranging and destructive attack immediately secured victory for the Hell Pirates.

Enel arrived.

As for Sonia and Gordo, they had already fallen into pools of blood.

At the scene, the only one still alive was Empress Boa Hancock.

Yurivich gripped the woman's neck tightly and lifted her off the ground.

"Is it... over there?"

Dom stuck out his tongue, licking the blood off his short blade, and glanced coldly at Enel, who was floating above his head, yawning.

"It was over long ago... from the moment we landed on the island."

Enel rested his chin on his hand, tilting his head slightly. "Is there any doubt about that?"
