One Piece: I Can Repel Anything

Seeing Hancock act like that again, as though she hadn't taken a word he said seriously, Gamenio felt a rage hot enough to burn the whole world.

"Enough!"

"Boa Hancock, you damned bitch."

"Once I've killed him, I'll make you suffer, you bitch! Damn you!"

He whipped around and glared at Chris. "I don't know who you are, and I don't care. You're about to die."

The moment he finished speaking, his right hand turned crimson. Magma churned, heat blasted outward, and thick black smoke rose as though even the air had caught fire.

The temperature was off the charts!

"Chris, he has the Copy-Copy Fruit! He can copy other Devil Fruit users' abilities. You have to be careful..."

Hancock looked at Chris and hurried to warn him, her face tight with worry.

She knew Chris was strong, but she couldn't help worrying.

Gamenio was simply too powerful, and his ability was utterly unpredictable.

Chris didn't answer Hancock. He kept his hands in his pockets and regarded Gamenio calmly.

He looked completely unruffled and made no move at all.

At the sight of him, Gamenio sneered and roared, "Die!"

"Great Eruption!"

An enormous fist of magma appeared in the air, radiating terrifying heat. Even the space around it seemed to warp.

Black smoke billowed upward as the temperature soared, turning the area into a sea of fire.

Boom! The giant magma fist burst apart into countless volcanic bombs.

Each one trailed thick black smoke and carried searing heat. They crowded the sky like a downpour.

They shot toward Chris as fast as lightning.

"Ah..."

The warriors of Amazon Lily screamed in panic at the sight.

Gamenio was too strong. Far too strong.

"Can Lord Chris beat him?" Marigold asked, her face full of worry.

Cold sweat broke out on Sandersonia's forehead. "He should be able to... or we're really finished."

Kalana shook her head and gave a bitter smile. "That bastard was toying with us the whole time. He wasn't even using his full strength."

"Lord Chris, please, you have to win!"

Hancock was just as shaken.

She stared at Chris, panic showing on her beautiful face. "Chris, be careful!"

Chris's gaze sharpened as the terrifying volcanic bombs hurtled toward him.

With a whoosh, he vanished from where he stood and appeared above Gamenio.

Before Gamenio could react, Chris drove a fist down on him...

(Everyone, the picture above shows Great Eruption. This fight ends here. Still want more? Don't worry, there are plenty more fights to come (*￣︶￣).)

Chapter 72

"Ah..."

A piercing scream rang out as Gamenio was knocked unconscious.

Boom, boom, boom!

The terrifying volcanic bombs slammed into the ground. Smoke billowed, the surface was torn apart, and the area instantly became a sea of magma.

Heat rolled off it. Bubbles kept rising and popping.

The surrounding earth turned black under the scorching heat, burned to a crisp.

Trees, flowers, grass, rocks...

Nothing near the volcanic bombs remained. Everything was destroyed.

That was the destructive power of the Logia Magma-Magma Fruit!

But no one nearby paid attention to the devastation Great Eruption had left behind.

They all looked at Chris, stunned beyond words.

Every last one of them was shaken.

One punch.

With one simple punch, he had taken down that incredibly powerful man.

It was terrifying.

"So this is Lord Chris. No wonder Big Sister said he was as strong as an Admiral. He's incredible."

Marigold stared at Chris in awe, newfound respect swelling within her.

She admired his overwhelming strength!

Sandersonia nodded, her panic gone. She smiled broadly. "He's worthy of the man our sister chose. I'll gladly call him my brother-in-law!"

"I didn't believe you when you told me how strong Lord Chris was."

Kalana shook her head, looking deeply moved. "Now I've seen it for myself."

"He's strong. Lord Chris is incredibly strong. He could definitely stand against an Admiral."

Marguerite threw up an arm and cheered, "Long live Lord Chris!"

"Long live Lord Chris!"

The other people of Amazon Lily quickly joined in.

Their voices shook the air. Cheers and applause filled the lively scene.

At that moment, every warrior of Amazon Lily felt admiration for Chris.

They respected him completely!

"Chris, you were wonderful. Truly incredible."

Hancock walked toward Chris with elegant, regal steps, adoration lighting her exquisite face.

Her beautiful eyes brimmed with affection, and her voice was tender. "I... I knew you were the strongest!"

"Chris, I'm so proud of you!"

Not far away, Marigold and Sandersonia exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Come on, everyone. Let's leave, and keep your voices down," Marigold quietly told the warriors.

Kalana nodded with a small smile. "We shouldn't stay here. Let's give those two some time alone."

"Come on, let's go..."

The warriors knew they shouldn't linger. They quickly retreated toward the outskirts.

Soon, only three people remained deep within the island.

Two stood, while the third lay there like a dead dog.

Click.

Chris ignored Hancock's praise. He lit a cigarette and smoked in silence.

Hancock watched the man she loved exhale a cloud of smoke, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"Chris, I've just realized how handsome you look when you smoke."

Hancock clasped her hands behind her back and leaned forward slightly, showing off her flawless figure.

A captivating smile bloomed on her breathtaking face. "Chris, I want to thank you."

"If you hadn't appeared today, I might have died here."

She looked at Chris with resolve in her eyes. "I'm the queen of Amazon Lily. I would have fought to the death, never surrendered!"

"But you appeared before me like a hero and protected me."

"Oh my... What am I saying? I don't even know what to say anymore!"

Hancock cupped her cheeks and gently shook her head, overcome with shyness.

She looked unbearably adorable!

There was no other beauty like her in the world.

No one else could be quite so lovely.

Huff.

Chris still didn't respond. He exhaled smoke and looked at a fruit tree dozens of meters away to his right.

"What is it, Chris?"

Hancock finally noticed his reaction and hurriedly followed his gaze.

But it was just a fruit tree bearing a few apple-shaped fruits. Nothing about it seemed unusual.

She couldn't understand why Chris was staring at it...

Chris didn't answer her. He slowly raised his right hand and said, "Universal Pull!"

A white opening the size of a ping-pong ball appeared in his palm.

With a whoosh, a fruit broke free from the tree dozens of meters away and flew toward Chris.

Hancock was stunned!

The fruit had been so far away, yet Chris had drawn it straight to him.

It was unbelievable!

"Universal Pull?"

Hancock looked at the man beside her, curiosity shining in her eyes. "Chris, what kind of ability is that?"

"Didn't you eat the Repel-Repel Fruit? It should only let you push things away. How can you pull them toward you? I don't understand."

By then, Chris had caught the fruit. He took a drag on his cigarette and answered calmly.

"I developed the Repel-Repel Fruit's power in two directions."

"One is outward repulsion. The other is its reverse."

"With outward repulsion, I use its power to push things away."

Chris exhaled a breath of smoke. "The reverse works the other way. When I use it, I draw things in."

Hancock was speechless.

Chris had explained it without the slightest change in his tone.

But what he had done left her utterly stunned.

Just how extraordinary was this man's talent?

He had developed the Repel-Repel Fruit to this extent.

Hancock could barely wrap her head around it.

"Chris, you really are the strongest man in the world!"
