Hancock's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her red lips parted. "I thought this was already over."
"I never expected another complication."
"From the looks of it, Ochoku won't settle for anything less than a full-blown fight with Chris."
"I wonder how much strength he has left."
Chapter 946
Since Ochoku had belonged to the Rocks Pirates, there was no question about the strength he had once possessed.
He had fought alongside figures such as Whitebeard and Kaido of the Beasts, and had been a prominent figure himself back then.
That meant Ochoku's strength must also have reached the very pinnacle.
However, Ochoku had kept a low profile all these years.
Unlike Whitebeard, Kaido of the Beasts, and the others, he had not remained active on the seas.
The reason for that inevitably invited all sorts of speculation.
Could it have had something to do with his health?
After all, when a great pirate with top-tier strength suddenly chose to disappear and abandon the pirate life, there had to be a reason.
One that made sense.
Watching Ochoku, Hancock murmured, "I wonder if Ochoku still has the strength he had back then."
"After all these years, could he still be a true top-tier fighter?"
In truth, Hancock was worried about Chris.
Ochoku's arrival might have presented Chris with his first real opponent.
Who knew whether Ochoku still possessed strength comparable to Whitebeard and Kaido of the Beasts—strength worthy of the Four Emperors?
If he truly did, then Chris really was in for some trouble.
Bartholomew Kuma remained expressionless as he said calmly, "We have no way of knowing."
"We aren't familiar with the people of that era."
"We haven't heard anything about Ochoku all these years, either."
"So it's hard to say how strong he is now!"
Jinbe nodded as well
