The World's Number One Beauty's Reputation Ruined, She Was Actually...

Seeing Hancock's furious expression, the marines' eyes bulged out in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

When did the Pirate Empress get a man?

"No, it must be this Blood-Eyed Ninja has controlled the Pirate Empress!"

"That's right, otherwise how could the Pirate Empress possibly be interested in this damned pirate!"

As if they had found an excuse to convince themselves, the several navy men nodded in unison, then looked at Xi Yan with murderous eyes.

That look seemed to say: Kid, you actually used such despicable means to get the Pirate Empress, you deserve to die!

Xi Yan:...

To be honest, he didn't control Hancock at all.

"Damn it, Xi Yan would never do such a thing!" Enraged Hancock rushed over and kicked the major Rear Admiral away with a few kicks.

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

Those long, Haki legs almost kicked them to death.

"Cough..."

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. The Rear Admiral said, "He's been controlled after all..."

Xi Yan's lips twitched upon hearing this. "Fine, whatever makes you happy."

After shaking his head, Xi Yan looked at Hancock's retreating figure and said, "Hancock ~"

"Yes~"

Upon hearing Xi Yan's voice, Hancock instantly transformed into a lovestruck girl, covering her face as she approached Xi Yan and said, "I'm here~"

Looking at Hancock's adorable appearance, Xi Yan fell silent for a moment.

This mature woman's demeanor... it's practically an invitation to commit a crime!!

Forcibly suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Xi Yan said, "Hancock, you..."

"Ah!"

"You called me by my name again~"

Xi Yan:???

After a moment of silence, Xi Yan said, "We'll talk about our business back on Amazon Lily. Right now, you..."

Xi Yan hesitated for a moment, then walked to Hancock's side and whispered to her, "Just pretend you're under my control for now, okay?"

This way, Hancock can avoid participating in more battles.

"No problem, I'm willing~" Hancock said shyly, "Even if I'm controlled by you for the rest of my life, I'm willing."

Ah~

Could this be the legendary... marriage proposal?!

Xi Yan:...

I have a feeling that the other person seems to have grasped something else entirely.

After clearing his throat, Xi Yan said again, "Remember, if you find anything amiss, go back to the plaza for refuge."

"Just say you're out of my control then, okay?"

"Mmm, no problem~"

Looking at Hancock, who was covering her face and seemingly lost in thought, Xi Yan paused for a moment before saying, "Are you sure you heard what I said?"

"Don't worry, I heard you."

Hancock removed her hand, smiled at Xi Yan, and said, "I will listen to you obediently."

Perfect timing! She can pretend to be hypnotized by Xi Yan and then openly help Xi Yan save people!

Thinking of this, Hancock smiled even more broadly.

Then, Hancock took a key from her pocket and said, "Here, this is for you."

"Could this be...?"

"Yes, it's the Seastone Handcuffs key from Fire Fist Ace," Hancock said. "With this, you can achieve your goal, right?"

After putting away the Sea Stone, Xi Yan smiled and nodded to Hancock, saying, "Alright, thanks."

"You don't need to be so polite with me," Hancock said, covering her face.

Glancing at Hancock's posture, the Marines in the distance cried out in frustration, "Damn it, could it be that the Pirate Empress has also been controlled by this man?!"

"Wouldn't that mean two of the Shichibukai would become enemies?"

"Damn it, how am I supposed to fight this?"

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for them, you bastards!

"Fufufufufu~"

"What a terrifying man!" Doflamingo glanced around, then stared at Xi Yan and said, "He can actually hypnotize two Shichibukai at once."

Fortunately, he hadn't made an enemy of this man before, otherwise... he might have been the one being controlled!

Thinking of this, Doflamingo's expression turned serious.

Just then, an idea popped into Doflamingo's mind.

'Speaking of which... could this guy be a pervert?' Doflamingo muttered to himself.

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't have needed to attack the Pirate Empress at all.

After all... Crocodile came with this guy!

As for whether Crocodile has been hypnotized...

Doflamingo glanced at Crocodile, who was fighting the Whitebeard Pirates, paused for a moment, and then dismissed the idea.

'If Crocodile was truly hypnotized, then he couldn't possibly have clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates.'

After all... that would benefit the navy!

The situation is quite obvious: this Blood-Eyed Ninja has definitely set his sights on the Pirate Empress!

Thinking of this, Doflamingo's expression became somewhat strange.

"I wonder if this man's hypnotic abilities have any limits," Doflamingo said.

After thinking for a moment, Doflamingo ran in a more distant direction, intending to get away from the Ninja first.

Just then, Sengoku noticed the Pirate Empress's unusual behavior.

From his perspective, the woman was helping the Blood-Eyed Ninja attack the charging marines!

"Get out of my way, you lot!" Hancock yelled. "Fragrant Foot!"

"Clang!"

"Boom!!"

With her long, Haki legs wrapped around him, she kicked two marines flying with a single blow.

"The Pirate Empress..." Sengoku frowned and said, "Even this woman can't resist the hypnotic abilities of the Blood-Eyed Ninja?"

In terms of Haki power of Haki, Hancock might even surpass Bartholomew Kuma.

Yet, I was still controlled by the other party... Does this mean that the other party's hypnotic abilities can hypnotize anyone below the Admiral?

Thinking of this, Sengoku's expression turned somewhat grim.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Sengoku's mind.

'Could it be that Boa Hancock was hypnotized by the Blood-Eyed Ninja a long time ago?' Sengoku murmured to himself. 'That would explain why the Blood-Eyed Ninja and the Straw Hat were in Underwater Great Prison.'

However, he rejected the idea as soon as it appeared in Sengoku's mind.

After all... after going to Underwater Great Prison, the people there did search the Pirate Empress's body.

This means that the other party did not go to Underwater Great Prison with the Pirate Empress!

Besides... if the Pirate Empress was really controlled at that time, they wouldn't have given them the chance to take Fire Fist Ace away.

Upon realizing this, the Sengoku completely rejected this conjecture.

Then, Sengoku turned his gaze to the bear and said, "Then it must have been the bear who did it."

It's unclear whether the other party was controlled in the Sabaody Archipelago or here.

If it's the latter, that's fine, but if it's the former... then Egghead's information might be leaked!

Thinking of this, Sengoku's expression turned somewhat grim.

'After this war ends, let Borsalino go there for a while,' Sengoku murmured to himself.

After suppressing this thought, Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi that was beside him.

"Attention everyone!"

"The Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock, has been hypnotized by the Blood-Eyed Ninja," Sengoku said. "Don't approach this woman lightly!"

Although it's unknown how much combat power she can unleash after being hypnotized, it's clear that anyone below the Vice Admiral is no match for this woman.

'Should I let the Admiral handle this?' Sengoku murmured to himself.

Although he could order his Admiral to kill the woman, he couldn't actually do it.

After all... that would be seen as discarding a useful tool after it has served its purpose!

If he does that, the other Shichibukai will definitely defect immediately and help Whitebeard attack their Navy Headquarters!

Thinking of this, Sengoku's expression turned somewhat grim.

'This is really tricky!'

Upon hearing Sengoku's words, everyone on the battlefield stopped what they were doing and looked at Xi Yan with disbelief.

"The Pirate Empress... she's been hypnotized too?" a Marine said in disbelief.

"So, the Blood-Eyed Ninja now has two puppets of the Shichibukai?"

"Damn it, how did this guy do that?!"

The sailors looked at the man standing next to Hancock in disbelief, their hearts filled with shock.

Having hypnotized two Shichibukai at the same time... is it possible to hypnotize even more Shichibukai?

Upon realizing this, the navy officer's eyes turned to terror.

If we allow the opponent to continue unchecked, the scales of victory will tip in their favor!

"So you hypnotized two Shichibukai in a row?"

Hawkeye was just about to kill Luffy, subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of Xi Yan upon hearing this, and frowned, saying, "Something's strange."

However, Hawkeye didn't do anything extra; he just glanced at it and then looked away.

After all... he had no reason to take action against that man.

Of course, the Straw Hat still has to chop!

With that in mind, Hawkeye turned his attention to the Straw Hat and quickly rushed towards him.

"Hey, what on earth did that guy do?!" Buggy exclaimed in shock. "He even hypnotized the Pirate Empress?"

This guy... he's just too enviable!

"As expected of the Ninja Bro," the man beside him remarked.

"That's right."

"Even someone like the Pirate Empress could be defeated by him; he's truly a terrifying Ninja."

"But our Captain Buggy is no slouch either!!"

"That's right!" The man next to Buggy said excitedly, looking at Buggy. "After all, our captain is someone who can form an equal alliance with Whitebeard!"

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing the man's words, the others immediately burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, you're absolutely right!" Buggy laughed loudly. "Your captain is on par with Whitebeard!"

"Profound!!"

Mr. 3:...

These guys are more optimistic than I thought.

After shaking his head, Mr. 3 turned his gaze to Xi Yan, thinking to himself, 'How strange... if Xi Yan can hypnotize the Shichibukai, why didn't he hypnotize the boss on the ship as well?'

In that case, they will have an extra perfect combatant!

But the other party didn't do that... Was it disdain or incompetence?

Thinking this, Mr. 3 turned his gaze to Hancock and Kuma, thinking to himself: 'Perhaps... these two knew Xi Yan a long time ago?'

However, Mr. 3 dismissed the idea as soon as it crossed his mind.

After all... the Pirate Empress is known to hate men, so there's no way she would befriend Blood-Eyed Ninja!

"Judging from this, Xi Yan must have achieved that through sheer strength," Mr. 3 remarked. "He's truly a terrifying guy."

Fortunately, he obeyed his master while he was in the Underwater Great Prison, otherwise... he might already be a puppet by now.

Thinking about this, Mr. 3 felt somewhat fortunate.

Such a person is only suitable to be a friend, not an enemy!

Thinking of this, Mr. 3 turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Execution platform, muttering, "Perhaps..."

After thinking for a while, Mr. 3 shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's see how things go first."

Then, the man walked towards Buggy.

"Pops, Ace's partner is pretty strong." Marco, standing next to Whitebeard, looked at Xi Yan in shock and said.

It's one thing to hypnotize the powerful Bartholomew Kuma, but now he's also controlled the Pirate Empress.

What exactly is his limit?

"Kurararara, that's certainly true," the Whitebeard said with a loud laugh.

With these two Shichibukai around, who knows, this Blood-Eyed Ninja might be able to quickly make his way to the Execution platform.

'If these two Shichibukai each hold off a Marine Admiral...'

Thinking of this, Whitebeard's eyes lit up.

"Could you control two Shichibukai at once...?"

Crocodile, who had been sent flying by Diamond Jozu, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, then turned to look at Xi Yan and said, "This is really annoying."

No wonder the other party said those things in the Underwater Great Prison; it seems this guy never took him seriously from the beginning!

Thinking of this, Crocodile's expression turned somewhat grim.

"Hey, did you hear what the Fleet Admiral said?" The reporters from Sabaody Archipelago stared in shock at the magnified image of Xi Yan and Hancock on the screen. "This man not only hypnotized Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Shichibukai, but he didn't even spare the Pirate Empress!"

"What a terrifying power this is!"

Just then, a reporter shouted, "I understand!!"

"What do you know?"

The others looked at the guy with suspicion, wondering what he meant.

"Of course I know the Blood-Eyed Ninja's purpose!" The reporter grinned, revealing a confident expression.

"Alright, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me!"

The reporter cleared his throat and then said, "It must be that the Blood-Eyed Ninja has taken a liking to this Pirate Empress!"

"Otherwise, why didn't he try to control Doflamingo, who had just come to his side?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of 'I see'.

"That's right. He ignored Doflamingo, who had just arrived, and instead went after the Pirate Empress..."

"This guy is definitely a perverted Ninja!"

"That's right, a pervert!"

"Hmph, using despicable means to obtain the Pirate Empress, how shameless!"

"If he can attack the Pirate Empress today, he can attack someone else tomorrow!"

"I'm going to include him in this news story and spread his name!"

"Profound!!"

After understanding what had happened, the group of reporters started yelling, as if Xi Yan's actions had desecrated their goddess.
