The bombing of Amazon Lily continued unabated. Only after Hancock had assembled the warriors of the Kuja Pirates did she realize she had no way of dealing with the enemy.
At an altitude of several thousand meters, they could not even spot the Ark Maxim without telescopes.
"Big sister, we've passed the word along. Everyone else is hiding in cellars and other structures now, but some houses have already been destroyed, and they show no intention of stopping."
The second of the Boa sisters reported to Hancock. Although they had made arrangements for the people of Amazon Lily, they still had no way of dealing with the Ark Maxim overhead.
"Marigold, try throwing me up toward that ship in a moment. The King will never allow these lawless scoundrels to do as they please."
"Forget it, Snake Princess."
Before Hancock could finish, Granny Nyon, who had just been driven away, appeared beside Boa Hancock again and told her, "The Magician's Ark Maxim has even hunted down flying Zoan Devil Fruit Users. When Marigold throws you up there, you'll face tens of thousands of bullets. Even with Armament Haki, you'll be shot down."
Boa Hancock's expression darkened at Granny Nyon's words. Although she disliked this constantly nagging old woman, she knew she would not lie to her at a time like this.
