The fist infused with Conqueror's Haki Infusion sank into the barrier formed by petrified air, its speed visibly slowing for a brief moment, as though it had struck some incomparably tough fluid.
That precious opening she had gained lasted less than a second!
A trace of resolve flashed through Hancock's eyes. She forcibly drew a breath, used Geppo to abruptly shift her center of gravity in midair, twisted her slender yet powerful waist, and unleashed several consecutive upward kicks with her long legs like a raging storm!
Each kick was infused with Armament Haki. Her toes carved sharp arcs through the air like several pink blades, smashing solidly into Adams's chest.
