roar...
Seeing that he was gradually approaching the motionless little monkey in front of him, a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the black Bacura, thinking that he was about to succeed...
Whoosh~~
Bang!!
Just then, Luffy finally made his move. He swung his arm to the right with great force, stretching it out and slamming it heavily into the leopard's mouth, breaking off Bacura's fangs and sending it flying into the audience along with its massive body, leaving everyone in the arena in shock.
"Eh... that man's hand actually stretched out, and he even... touched Bacura..."
Almost everyone in the audience was astonished; even the Snake Princess hadn't expected the battle to end so quickly and in such a way.
"Hmph, she can still laugh even after turning your companions to stone? A bunch of strange women..."
Luffy, protecting the three stone statues, shouted insults at the people in the arena.
"How dare a Savage speak to us like that? Men should all be executed..."
"That's right, they deserve this punishment for offending Snake Princess. Snake Princess is always right, no matter what she does!!"
Hearing Luffy, a criminal, shout at them and condemn everyone, the crowd couldn't stand it anymore and started criticizing Luffy and the three Marguerite sisters who had turned to stone.
"That's right, whatever I do will be forgiven, because I am simply... too beautiful!!"
Hancock chuckled softly, gently stroking her hair as she explained to Luffy.
As soon as her voice, which was like celestial music and exuded a strong queenly majesty, came out, everyone couldn't help but shout in unison.
However, there was one person on the scene who was different. Luffy, who was immune to beauty, or rather, who was always single-minded, was completely unmoved by Hancock's stunning beauty. Upon hearing her words, he suddenly became angry and cursed at Hancock.
"You despicable woman..."
"Ah..."
After being scolded by Luffy, Hancock slumped onto the snake sofa as if she were ill. She couldn't understand how a man who had absolutely no interest in her could appear, and her momentum vanished instantly.
"Um, are you alright, sister?!"
Seeing that their older sister Hancock seemed upset by Luffy's words, the two younger sisters immediately helped her up and asked her with concern.
"How could there be a man who is not interested in my beauty, Sonia, Marigold?"
A moment later Hancock composed herself, sat up straight, and gave orders to her two sisters.
"Exist..."
Sonia and Marigold responded simultaneously, one on each side.
"You will personally go and completely eliminate this man! I will not tolerate anyone who disregards my beauty!!"
Hancock's eyes were filled with murderous intent as she looked at Luffy in the audience. She didn't want or allow someone like Luffy to exist. Since he already existed, she would kill him so that he would no longer exist.
"Yes..."
The two sisters received their orders and stepped onto the arena, looking at Luffy with mocking eyes, completely disregarding him.
"Ah~ It's Lady Sonia, Lady Marigold, the Gorgon Sisters are going to take action themselves! We'll have the honor of witnessing the Curse of the Gorgon manifest again! Let's use men's blood to sacrifice for that curse!!"
"Go! Marigold Mary, Lady Sonia, execute the man who offended Snake Princess as an atonement!!"
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the sisters Marigold and Sonia transformed into snake-people, looking down at Luffy with their Giant -like figures, and mentally planning how to make him suffer a painful death.
"Hmm... a curse?! What are they talking about? Isn't that just the power of two Devil Fruit?"
When Luffy heard the audience call the snake-man form the two of them a curse, he was puzzled and asked in confusion.
"Hehehe, that's a secret. Judging from your appearance, you should be Paramecia, the same category as my sister. But I wonder if you're that strong..."
Hearing Luffy's words, the two sisters chuckled and explained to him.
"Then let's begin, let's carry out the Kuja ' most severe punishment... the Snake Execution!!"
On the other side, Sonia laughed, then brandished her large sword and pointed it at Luffy as if she wanted to cleave him in two, giving him a quick glance before speaking.
"Wait... let's wait a moment before we make a move..."
Just as the two were about to attack, Luffy intervened and stopped their offensive.
"Huh?! What's wrong? Asking for pleading won't work..."
Marigold stopped as well, giving him a slightly disdainful look.
"I'm not talking about that. Before we make a move, let me move them out of here first. If we fight here, we might accidentally break something!"
Luffy turned to the side and pointed to the stone statue next to him as he spoke.
"Hmph, what kind of scheme are they trying to pull? Fine, let them have their way. First, move the statue. Don't stop them Sonia, Marigold!!"
Hancock bit her thumbnail, pondering what scheme Luffy might be plotting, but she went along with it, letting her sister Luffy aside so Luffy could easily move the statues. Soon, the three statues were moved, and Luffy returned to the field, stretching his limbs before letting them make their move.
"Tch, is it all over already?" Sonia asked with a sneer.
"Okay, let's go!" Luffy gestured.
Swoosh...
"Then I'll make my move..."
As soon as Luffy finished speaking, Sonia swung her large sword at him.
clatter...
"Um..."
Luffy's senses immediately detected danger, and he quickly leaped upwards to avoid her blade.
" Snake Thrust!!"
Swoosh...
Bang!!
Just as Luffy leaped into the air, he heard a woman's voice. Turning around, he saw his second sister, Marigold, raise her tail and strike him in the stomach, sending Luffy flying.
"Wow..."
Knock knock...
He slid across the ground repeatedly, sliding for a while before finally coming to a stop.
"Cough cough... Ouch, that hurts! What happened just now? And why do I feel like my moves were predicted..."
Luffy clutched his stomach and swayed a few times before regaining his balance. He looked at the two men with a serious expression and began to speak.
However, his performance was seen as mere bluffing by the citizens in the audience, who immediately looked at Luffy with disdain.
"Hmph, you have time to think about other things?"
As he was observing and pondering what abilities the two were using, he heard Sonia's cold snort again, and then Luffy's body suddenly emitted a danger signal and involuntarily One Flash to the side.
Clang...
Sonia's greatsword struck the ground, slicing a gash in the hard marble floor. If he hadn't dodged, he would have been the one cleaved in two.
Swoosh...
Just as he jumped away, another attack came. Marigold used her hair, which was strong enough to bite through steel, to transform into a snake's head and bite through the spectator fence that Luffy had avoided.
clatter...
"That was close, that was close... I can't think about anything else now... Gum-Gum... Gatling!!"
Luffy shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore, and launched a fierce attack on Marigold.
" Snake Dance..."
Swish... swish... swish...
Marigold dodged every single one of Luffy's punches, which were thrown at bullet speed.
Swoosh...
"... Eh!!"
Whoosh... Bang!!
As Luffy attacked, Sonia attacked from behind again, slashing down with her sword. Luffy turned around and quickly withdrew his arm, leaping up to dodge the blade, but was then swept away by the hilt of the sword. Then Marigold's attack followed, her Snake Tail Extreme Speed across him like a steel whip, sending him flying again.
Silk...
"Damn it... Gum-Gum... Bazooka!!"
Luffy quickly stood up from the ground, pushed off the ground and leaped up, stretching his left fist backward and punching towards Sonia.
puff...
"Um..."
In response, Sonia first spat a mouthful of venom at Luffy, who charged forward, but Luffy dodged it in time, and the fist imprint arrived as expected.
"Snort..."
Sonia snorted coldly, raised her arm, and slapped her palm hard against Luffy was rushing towards her. The invisible Armament Haki reflected his fist back.
"Hmm... what's going on?!"
Bang!!
Pfft...
Thump thump thump...
Before he could even wonder, Sonia thrust her sword at him again with the bottom of the hilt, jolting Luffy up while simultaneously sweeping him down with force.
He was once again violently swept to the ground, clutching the painful area in his stomach, and for a moment he collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up.
"Hehehe, what's wrong? Weren't you just spouting nonsense and threatening us? Now you can't hold on anymore?"
Marigold looked down at Luffy, who was unable to stand, and mocked him. Then, her hair transformed into a snake head and bit down, intending to end his life.
