puff!
The sound of tearing fabric echoed in the cabin.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.
Empress Hancock, who had been looking arrogant and bowing at a ninety-degree angle, instantly realized that something was amiss.
Unfortunately, due to inertia...
And then there's the thought of the secret on his back.
Hancock's mind went completely blank.
They were completely caught off guard and didn't try to salvage the situation.
Sandersonia and Marigold, who were already standing a little further away, couldn't catch up either and could only watch helplessly as it all unfolded.
The thought of their backs, which they had always considered taboo, was unbearable.
What would happen if someone were to expose themselves to outsiders?
They absolutely cannot imagine it.
Whoosh!
A whooshing sound suddenly rang out.
Bai Yu, enveloped in lightning, appeared beside Hancock like a ghost.
With Inazuma speed, his right hand reached into the silky smooth back, covering the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon in one swift motion.
He used his strong right arm to lift Hancock up.
At the same time, her navy robe also fluttered down onto Hancock's shoulders.
It directly covered her extremely alluring back.
The sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.
Sandersonia and Marigold were also taken aback for a moment, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but their gazes toward Bai Yu held a hint of complexity.
Even Hancock, who was in Bai Yu, seemed a little lost in thought.
For them, what had just happened felt like a major disaster was about to befall them.
Only Jinbe understood the true meaning behind Bai Yu's actions just now.
"What's wrong? Is it comfortable in my arms? If you want, you can continue."
Bai Yu glanced around the arena and, noticing that no one else had clearly noticed the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon on Hancock's back, chuckled and teased.
Hancock snapped back to reality, a rare blush creeping across her cheeks. She hurriedly broke free from Bai Yu's embrace and said through gritted teeth.
"I don't think you're being treated well. I'll return your coat to you later."
"However, where do you want to go next? If you have nowhere to go, I think you should send me to steal a boat first!"
Steal a boat?
Such an Haki statement sent a chill down Bepo's spine, and the group, who had been completely captivated, couldn't help but sober up a bit.
The Hancock before me is indeed a stunning beauty.
However, the title of Pirate Empress is no joke.
When it comes to real killing, these newbies are far more capable than anyone else.
Moreover, the Kuja Pirates ' ship was indeed Crush during Bai Yu and Charlotte Linlin's second collision.
If Hancock and the others need to return to Amazon Lily, a ship is clearly essential.
"I still have to go to the Kales Island. There's another guy there worth killing waiting for me." Bai Yu took a swig of strong liquor and smiled bloodthirstyly.
"If you're in a hurry to leave, I can have Jinbe take you first."
Kales Island?
Hancock and the others froze for a moment, then their expressions changed drastically, with Hancock speaking urgently.
"Bai Yu, you just had a fierce battle with Charlotte Linlin, and you're quite exhausted and injured. Are you heading to Calles Island now to face off against Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
"In your situation, there's no need to be stubborn. Even if you don't go to war, no one will question you."
As she spoke those hurried words, Hancock realized something was amiss.
Normally, she possesses an arrogance ingrained in her very being.
When have I ever worried about anyone like this?
Not to mention, being able to say such caring words.
Now, almost unconsciously, I've blurted out what was on my mind.
What the hell is this?
The only saving grace is that we've spent a lot of time together.
Aside from his two sisters, whom he knew exceptionally well, and his group of subordinates.
Others simply didn't notice these details.
More importantly, the vast majority of people present were shocked by Bai Yu's decision.
Jinbe nodded solemnly in agreement, " Bai Yu, Hancock is right. You just fought a great battle with one of the Four Emperors, and it's already quite an achievement that you managed to escape unscathed. Even if you don't go to this battle, I don't think anyone on this sea will question you."
" Dracule Mihawk is a proud guy at heart. He probably doesn't want to take advantage of your vulnerability and will understand your situation."
"If you're worried, I can go there myself and explain everything to Dracule Mihawk. He should understand, Hiyori."
Among the Shichibukai, there are very few people that Jinbe can take Jinbe liking to.
Aside from Tyrant Kuma, there is only Dracule Mihawk, who is hailed as the World's Greatest Swordsman.
Compared to Doflamingo, Crocodile, and others.
Dracule Mihawk, at least, has his own bottom line and won't resort to any means to achieve his goals.
" Admiral Bai Yu, they are right. You shouldn't take the risk again."
Gion, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up.
Even Luo, who had caught his breath, couldn't help but look at Bai Yu.
It's fair to say that he was the last person who wanted to see Bai Yu go to war.
After all, he was, after all, a promising new pirate on this vast ocean.
The Op-Op Fruit it possesses are something that would make this entire ocean covet them.
Unfortunately, it ended up in Bai Yu's hands.
Trafalgar Law has become nothing more than a tool for moving things.
Aside from using the ROOM from the Op-Op Fruit to save people.
It had absolutely no use for its skills.
If this gets out...
Where has his reputation, which would later become Supernovas, gone?
"Hehe, don't worry, I don't want to wait any longer when facing a worthy opponent."
Bai Yu gave a dry laugh.
"Besides, I was quite exhausted from the fight just now, and I still have more than half a day to recover before I can face another opponent."
"If we can't win, or if the situation changes, I can still have Luo take me away."
As he spoke, Bai Yu patted Luo on the shoulder with satisfaction.
I'm somewhat relieved that I encountered Trafalgar Law, a mere tool, when I was defeating Doflamingo.
Otherwise, even the escape wouldn't have been so smooth.
Trafalgar Law's face immediately turned bitter, and he subconsciously looked at Jinbe beside him.
He was, after all, a pirate, and being used so many times by a marine made him feel uneasy.
As for escaping?
Given that Bai Yu dared to challenge even the Four Emperors, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.
Now we just hope that Jinbe others can persuade Bai Yu to give up this crazy idea.
"This young man?"
Jinbe looked him up and down before speaking in a deep voice.
"With his Devil Fruit ability, even if he can't win, he can certainly escape unscathed. Since you already have a complete plan, I won't try to persuade you any further."
"However, I will accompany you from now on. If you need anything, please feel free to ask me."
