Calm Belt, on the deck of a warship.
Looking at Pirate Empress and Momonga who were standing opposite, dressed in a cheongsam and a floral cape, exuding endless charm in every gesture, some of the monks Momonga were confused, and a series of question marks kept popping up on their heads.
You know, when entering Calm Belt and approaching Nine Snake Castle, he secretly prepared a dagger to prevent Empress Hancock from suddenly using Devil Fruit ability to petrify himself.
It's not that he is being overly cautious, it's that he has suffered losses from Hancock before.
The last time World Government issued a compulsory summons order for Shichibukai, he was in charge of Empress Hancock. At that time, he did not realize the seriousness of the matter and came in a fierce manner, but he was almost petrified on the spot by Hancock's wave of Devil Fruit ability.
Fortunately, he decisively drew the knife and stabbed himself, letting the pain stimulate his brain nerves and weakening Hancock Devil Fruit ability's influence, so he was not petrified.
However, although he was able to hold it, all the men he brought were wiped out. They were either petrified on the spot with a red heart in their eyes, or turned into humanoid stone sculptures with a red heart sprouting from their chests.
The reason for all this is not entirely because of Hancock's heart-stopping beauty, but because Hancock's sweet Paramecia Devil Fruit ability can petrify people who are obsessed with her. She can also directly use her abilities to petrify opponents and items.
The most terrifying thing is that once Hancock's Devil Fruit ability is petrified, even if Hancock dies, the petrified person will not be relieved of the state.
Having learned from the past, Momonga naturally had to be careful. Not only did he not bring another subordinate with him, he also secretly held a dagger in his hand.
But--
Different from the last time he came, Hancock at that time could be said to have brought his willfulness and arrogance to the extreme, and even had extreme contempt for him even as Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral. At this time, although Hancock was still arrogant, he was no longer willful, and for the first time, he did not stay on Kuja Pirate Ship. He jumped up and stood in front of him unexpectedly.
"Vice Admiral Momonga, let's go!"
Hancock, who came to the warship deck, turned his back to Momonga, and said impatiently, "I will go to the Shichibukai meeting now!"
"Uh~"
Momonga was a little unexpected and said tentatively, "Hancock, did your people not make it clear? Shichibukai The meeting will be held in three days, and you still have one day to get it right-"
"No need!"
Hancock turned around, put one hand on his waist and pointed one finger at Momonga, tilted his head back and made an exaggerated movement, and said concisely and concisely, "I don't need it!"
"Okay... okay."
Momonga, who still had a shadow in his heart, said no more and simply turned around and walked towards the cockpit.
When Momonga arrived at Marineford port with Hancock, the sky was already dark.
As soon as the warship docked, a large luxury ship flying the flag of World Government parked next to the warship.
Before Momonga and Hancock on the warship could react, Gunko, a tall man wearing a cloak and dragging a pair of long sleeves, jumped off and landed on the shore before them.
Glancing at the big ship parked next to it, as well as Shamrock and the long-haired woman standing on the deck, Momonga had a flash of doubt in his eyes, "What are they doing here?"
Huh?
Finding that the surroundings suddenly became unusually quiet, Momonga's pupils shrank slightly, and he reflexively turned his head to look at Hancock.
I thought that Hancock would get angry because someone came ashore before her, but she didn't expect that Hancock was not only very quiet at this time, but also stared at the long-haired woman standing next to Shamrock with her beautiful eyes, and there was a hint of hatred.
"Hancock?"
Realizing that something was wrong with Hancock's condition, Momonga quickly reminded him, "We are here. However, because you arrived at the headquarters early, I need to report to Lord Marshal."
"They are...Knights of God!"
Hancock seemed not to hear what Momonga was saying. He stared at the long-haired woman next to Shamrock, gritted his silver teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "I have seen her before!"
Not only have I seen it, but when Fisher Fisher Tiger made a big fuss about Holy Land, she managed to escape with her two younger sisters, but was almost caught by the long-haired girl. If Grandma Nyon and the others had not appeared in time, she might still be in Holy Land now.
Feeling the hatred in Hancock's words, Momonga quickly stopped him and said, "Hancock, don't mess around, this is Marine Headquarters!"
"So what!"
Hancock suddenly took a step forward and stared at the long-haired woman on the boat opposite, "No matter what Aijia did, the whole world will forgive me!"
At this point, Hancock suddenly turned around and smiled, "Because Aijia is so beautiful!"
Before Momonga could react, Hancock's aura suddenly rose, causing ripples on the ground. At the same time, her unique Paramecia sweet Devil Fruit ability was released.
"Damn, this woman--"
Momonga, who almost said yes because Hancock suddenly looked back and smiled, secretly wiped a cold sweat, and immediately reacted quickly and shouted, "Hancock, I don't know if the whole world will forgive you, but if you make trouble here, Lord Marshal will definitely strip you of your Shichibukai identity and kill you on the spot!"
"Put away your Devil Fruit ability, this is your final warning!"
Momonga Before he finished speaking, Hancock suddenly woke up, and at the same time retracted Devil Fruit ability decisively, looking at the long-haired woman opposite with a slightly unwilling look.
Youdao is extremely jealous when her enemies meet. The hardships she experienced at Holy Land made her lose her mind the moment she recognized the long-haired girl. Fortunately, Momonga warned her in time, otherwise she would have made a big mistake!
You must know that the person in charge of the huge machine of the Navy at this time is the new Marshal who can compromise World Government. If she had just lost her mind and killed him directly, the new Marshal would definitely be furious. It would be a small matter to deprive her of her Shichibukai identity, but the people of Amazon Lily would be implicated in it.
At the same time.
On the big ship opposite, the long-haired woman who had noticed Hancock for a long time blinked in surprise and said uncertainly, "This woman... I seem to have seen it somewhere before!"
"Shichibukai, Pirate Empress poya·Hancock!"
Shamrock pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist and took a step forward, then said lightly, "She seems to have some issues with you, do you want to show her some color?"
The long-haired woman shrugged slightly, "As long as you are not afraid of arousing Akira's anger, you can kill her!"
Hearing this, Shamrock turned his head and stared at the long-haired woman, "Do you even think that I am not his opponent?"
The long-haired woman smiled and turned around gracefully, "I never deny your power, but Shamrock, haven't you understood it yet? The reason why Holy Land compromised with Akira is not because he is invincible, but the appearance of Akira is likely to be a variable between Nika and Lord Im."
