"If it were Shanks, that would be fine; we could just fight it out to decide!"
But Pops, after I saw that flag, I felt like something was off!!!
Fossa quickly spoke to the Whitebeard, pulling a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket as he spoke.
After unfolding the origami, Fossa, the 15th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, pointed to the pattern and said with a look of sudden realization.
"Look, this is the new flag that Fish-Man Island has put up. It feels... so familiar!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fossa looked at Marco with a puzzled expression.
Meanwhile, the captains of each division, who were astonished by this, and even Whitebeard, who was at the head of the group, were all stunned.
Immediately afterwards, they all looked at Marco, whose face clearly showed how sleepy he was.
The Whitebeard suddenly burst into laughter.
"Marco, this pattern looks so familiar, gurgle gurgle!"
"Well, what's going on? I'm confused too..."
Hearing his Pops's laughter, Marco lazily rubbed his hair.
"However, although they are somewhat similar, they are actually quite different."
At least I'm not black, right?
To be honest, although I find the World Government logo surrounded by this bird pattern somewhat disgusting, I still think that this stone-carved bird pattern is surprisingly beautiful.
What do you think?
On the other hand, on Amazon Lily.
The sun had just risen above the horizon when Hancock got out of bed.
She gently patted her face, feeling that she had become much more haggard in just one night.
Especially when I think about last night's banquet, and the memory of how I had inexplicable feelings at the banquet, putting my arm around the shoulder of that Celestial Dragon named Gawain, and constantly drinking with him...
Hancock suddenly clutched her chest. The sensation there was as full as ever, but she felt as if something was missing.
Snap!
Hancock slapped her forehead, wondering if she really was like Elder Nyon said.
No, impossible, absolutely impossible!
Love is definitely not like this!
This uncontrollable heartbeat, this intensely fluctuating emotion—how could this possibly be love?
This is hatred, the deepest hatred!
Even just recalling Gawain's hateful face makes my heart churn with hatred!
Thinking of this, Hancock nodded heavily.
"That's right, my Elder Nyon must be getting old and her thinking is becoming confused."
Besides, only I truly understand myself; that's just how it is!
As soon as she finished speaking, Hancock quickly washed up, then hurriedly dressed and left her palace.
Her two younger sisters were anxiously pacing at the doorway when they saw their eldest sister walk out looking energetic. The Second Sister and Third Sister sisters were immediately delighted.
"Big sister, are you fully recovered?"
"Great! Where are you going? We'll go with you!"
"Hmph, no need!"
Hearing her sister's words, Hancock waved her right hand, issuing a command with an air of authority.
"Leave them in the palace for me, otherwise they might be in danger if the Celestial Dragon see them!"
As for me, as the Queen of Amazon Lily, I must personally monitor the Celestial Dragon to prevent them from abusing my people!
As she said this, without even realizing it, she unconsciously reached out and gently cupped her cheeks.
While swaying her upper body, Hancock blushed slightly and continued speaking sweetly.
"Although Saint Gawain will not lay a hand on my people, I still need to observe them personally. This is my duty as the Queen of Amazon Lily."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hancock covered her cheek and ran past her two sisters.
Behind her, her younger sisters stared in disbelief at their eldest sister's retreating figure.
After a long pause, the Second Sister spoke with a pained expression.
"It's over, it's really all over!"
"Yes!" The Third Sister closed her eyes sadly, "Elder Nyon is really amazing, she was absolutely right!"
On the other hand, Hancock's white cloak with black spots fluttered in the wind, and soon after, Hancock long hair finally danced in the sea breeze at the edge of the dense forest.
The moment she saw Gawain, her brows furrowed sharply. In her eyes, Gawain was being whipped by Gion while pinned to a tree!
This is absolutely outrageous!!!
She quickened her pace and then shouted loudly.
"Perfume Femur!!!"
In the next instant, Hancock suddenly spun around, her left shoe sinking deep into the ground, while her right foot kicked directly at Gion Gawain her sword sheath.
At the same time, Gion's brows furrowed tightly; she had just noticed Hancock's presence.
She assumed Hancock was just visiting, nothing unusual, but she never expected that Hancock was another scoundrel who had come to attack Gawain!!!
Enraged, Gion swiftly drew her sword, and with a clang, the blade of Kompira reflected the rising sun from the sky.
But at this moment, Gion suddenly felt something was wrong. As Hancock's heel drew closer, why did this kick seem to be Gawain?
Seeing that Hancock's high heels were about to nail into her face, Gion finally couldn't help but glance at herself and Gawain, keeping a distance between them.
The current situation is that my face is at least two meters away from Gawain. Even if this Pirate Empress is blind, she couldn't possibly have kicked two meters away, could she?!
So...
Was that kick really aimed at me?!
In a moment of Dawu, Gion clenched her teeth tightly, raised her sword with both hands, and used her Supreme Grade Sword to block Hancock's Supreme Grade High Heel.
Amidst the clang of metal on metal, Gion pushed Hancock back with all her might, and at the same time, she swung her sword down with tremendous force!
Wow!!!
The black light swept across the blade's edge, tearing through the atmosphere and the earth as the blade's energy roared towards Hancock.
Faced with the attack, Hancock raised her chin and unleashed a critical strike.
"Damn old woman!"
While cursing, Hancock released her Conqueror's Haki. The invisible aura shook the surrounding air, and the black and red Inazuma, the symbol of Conqueror's Haki, quickly wrapped around Hancock's legs.
"Perfume Femur Kiss!"
Hancock planted her left foot on the ground, spun around, and then kicked out with her right leg, which was wrapped in Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, at the side of Gion's sword aura.
Boom... hiss hiss hiss!!!
The blade flashed and burst open in an instant, then scattered into countless turbulent currents, churning and sweeping in all directions.
After kicking away Gion's slash, Hancock slightly parted her legs, straightened her upper body, and gently swept her right hand from bottom to top.
As she moved, a huge pink heart floated in front of her.
She drew her bow with her left hand and nocked an arrow with her right, pulling at that heartstrings, Hancock's lips moved slightly.
"The Captive Arrow!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Countless pink heart-shaped arrows shot out from Hancock's arms, completely enveloping Gion.
Gion instantly sheathed her sword, then slightly bent her knees forward, her right hand gripping the scabbard and her left hand tightly holding the hilt.
"Left-handed knife, Yan F...?"
Before she could even utter the word "return, "Gion suddenly stopped what she was doing.
Beside her, Gawain, who had been doing Gawain push-up with his feet against the tree, frowned, then rolled over and stood up straight.
"Stop right there, all of you!"
With a disgruntled rebuke, Gawain's pupils contracted sharply.
In the next instant, a visible ring of air surged outwards with tremendous force, instantly enveloping the entire Amazon Lily and even affecting a portion of the sea.
At the same time that everyone on the island fell into a coma, countless fish and Sea King with their bellies up began to float on the surface of the nearshore waters.
At the same time, within a 200-meter Conqueror's Haki Gawain, all the trees, before they could even be blown away, shattered into wood chips that scattered in all directions to the west!
At that moment, Rayleigh and his group, who were watching nearby, brightened up. As the sawdust pelted them, Rayleigh couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Even though I've seen such power from afar before, this is truly the first time I've experienced it up close!"
As soon as Rayleigh finished speaking, Lucci jumped down from a tree not far away.
He said in astonishment as he held the unconscious pigeon on his shoulder.
"Is this Gawain's Conqueror's Haki? Not to mention its range, just consider the impact around Lord Gawain."
Even disregarding the effect of the unconsciousness, the sheer force of that impact alone would have been enough to repel all the minor pirates around him, each worth around twenty or thirty million, right?
Hearing Lucci's words, Jinbe looked at the seawater being whipped up beside him with heartache.
How could he not feel heartbroken? Those were the weapons he had prepared for the Kuma's sudden attack—weapons indeed!
While suppressing his heartache, Jinbe nodded with a sigh.
"Yes, if we add the effect of unconsciousness, then I think that even if the adult doesn't exercise, just based on the Conqueror's Haki swirling in his heart..."
"Based on this alone, any pirate below the Supernova level is simply not qualified to stand before you, sir!"
Just as Jinbe was making his assessment, Gawain's Conqueror's Haki collided violently with Hancock 'Conqueror's Haki.
Suddenly, two colors appeared in the sky above Amazon Lily.
One side leans towards pink, the other side is black and gold!
In just a moment, the black and gold lightning directly suppressed the black and pink lightning.
The next moment, Hancock's eyes widened. She desperately withdrew her Conqueror's Haki and stood there with a bewildered expression.
As for her out-of-control Captive Arrow, once they were out of control, they fell to the ground sparsely, like Cupid's Love Arrow encountering seasoned male and female Poseidon.
As for Gion, seeing that Hancock had stopped moving, she pursed her lips, snorted, and did not try to draw her sword from its sheath again.
But at that same moment, Gion was absolutely certain that she and Hancock would eventually have a battle!
Gawain, who was standing to the side, had no time to guess what the two women were thinking. After seeing that they had stopped fighting, Gawain withdrew his Conqueror's Haki.
Then he stepped barefoot onto the wrecked ground and walked step by step toward Hancock.
Thump, thump, thump.
As Gawain approached her, Hancock's heart pounded harder and harder. Gawain's steps were like drumbeats, completely disrupting the rhythm in Hancock's heart.
As Gawain drew closer, Hancock grew increasingly nervous, and the more nervous she became, the colder her outward appearance grew.
Looking at Hancock, who remained silent like Iceburg, Gawain stopped in front of her and said in a deep voice.
"Boa Hancock!"
After a brief pause, Gawain frowned and stared intently into Hancock's beautiful eyes.
"I thought that after last night, you should have a certain understanding of me."
But I never expected that even after getting to know me, you would still choose to attack me.
So you want me to die, right? Even if my death brings destruction to you and your Amazon Lily.
Is the ending you expect "better to die a glorious death than live a shameful life"?
Upon hearing Gawain's words, Hancock, who was standing tall, closed her eyes in anguish. Her shoulders trembled violently, and for a moment, she even lost her balance.
"I... I didn't... I... I..."
Her usually sharp tongue suddenly lost its power, and Hancock was speechless. The more she couldn't speak clearly, the more intermittent her words became, until she fell completely silent.
Seeing Hancock remain silent with her head down, Gawain took a deep breath. Her words and Hancock expression had already made him realize something.
At the same time, Gion, who was standing to the side, also let out a heavy snort.
"Hmph, although I wish I could take my sword and kill this woman, but, sir..."
Her attack just now was definitely not directed at you.
You're standing upside down next to the tree trunk, with your back to the woman, so of course you can't see her clearly.
But I saw it clearly; the Snake Princess's kick was definitely aimed at me!!!
As soon as she finished speaking, Gion could no longer tolerate it. She had never been looked down upon like this before!
She rushed to Hancock's side and grabbed her by Hancock collar.
"Pirate Empress!"
Right here on Amazon Lily, with your leg and my knife, only one of us can survive to the end!
Is this the result you wanted?!
"Release my collar, you damned old woman!!!"
The moment the person in front of her turned into Gion, the Pirate Empress instantly transformed. Her eyes were filled with sharpness, her Conqueror's Haki was about to burst forth, and as she glared coldly at Gion, her Mero Mero no Mi was already activated at full power.
For a moment, Gawain, who was standing next to him, seemed to be in a daze.
Buzz...!
The Conqueror's Haki flashed by, Gawain regained his composure. But while he was calm, Gion was not.
Looking into Hancock's eyes at that moment, Gion suddenly felt that Hancock so beautiful...
The next moment, she felt a slight itch between her nose and nose, but when she instinctively lowered her head slightly, she saw Hancock's collar, which she had lifted up.
Gion felt a rush of heat in Gion nostrils, and she quickly released her hand and turned away.
She hurriedly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe her upper lip, and seeing the red bloodstains left on the handkerchief, Gion's entire face turned purple.
What on earth is going on...?!
How can anyone in the world possess such shamelessness!
Quietly tucking the handkerchief back into her waistband, Gion suddenly didn't know what to do.
How embarrassing...
As for Hancock, she was a little bewildered by Gion's behavior.
She'd seen women fall for her before, but none had ever been so captivated by her that they got nosebleeds...
Even if Gion isn't number one, it's at least in the top three...
Watching the situation unfold like this, Gawain sighed speechlessly.
This can't go on any longer; if it does, I'm afraid I'll have to pay...
He simply raised his hand and clapped twice.
"That's enough for now, let's stop with all the fighting, Gion, let's continue training."
As for Hancock..."
Upon hearing this, Hancock on the other side jolted awake.
"I'm listening!"
"Hmm, good attitude, but don't disturb my training again!"
"I understand..."
Hancock belatedly lowered her head, realizing that it had just been Gawain training.
Seeing Hancock's quick agreement, Gawain nodded, and then subtly helped Gion out of a predicament.
"Gion!" he emphasized, "Let's continue."
"Um!"
Gion nodded, quietly reverting to her coach demeanor.
As training continued, Rayleigh and his group, with a watchful, gossipy attitude, all crowded around Hancock.
But just as they drew closer, Hancock frowned.
"What are you all doing crowding around here, you filthy men? Get the hell away from me!!!"
