Chapter 256
"That's enough for you two, isn't it?"
Ain's lips twitched slightly. "If you're not satisfied, how about we protest to the government?"
Binz and Sanji immediately fell silent.
Naito,
Ain looked at Naito, who was standing at the bow of the ship, "What should we do? Should we contact the government first and have them inform the Pirate Empress that we've arrived?"
"No need for that."
Naito said calmly, "They've already seen us."
Not far from the island's coast, amidst the lush forest, several figures, using the cover of the jungle, cautiously observed the massive warship on the sea.
"That's a naval warship, isn't it?"
"Why are they here? This is deep in the Calm Belt! How did they get here?!"
"No, we must report this to Snake Princess immediately!"
These figures instantly darted into the depths of the jungle like cheetahs.
On the deck of a warship.
"So,"
"Should we wait for them to inform the Pirate Empress?" Ain asked.
"Too slow."
Naito said calmly, "Let's say hello first."
He took a step forward, his eyes slightly opening.
Buzz!
The air trembled violently, as if even the atmosphere itself was groaning under the weight of this man's power.
Dark Inazuma leaped from Naito's body, like wildly dancing black snakes, shooting directly towards the distant Amazon Lily.
At that moment, even Ain, standing next to Naito, felt a little dizzy.
Naito's Conqueror's Haki is becoming increasingly astonishing!
Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of control, it has been greatly improved compared to the past!
Ahead, on Amazon Lily.
The figures that were flying through the forest suddenly turned around, their faces filled with fear and disbelief.
"What? Conqueror's Haki...?"
With groans, the women's bodies lost all strength, and they collapsed limply to the ground, unconscious.
Its ferocious momentum continued forward, sweeping away all living things in its path, and the dense forest instantly fell silent.
The black arc of electricity had already crossed the towering crater, then suddenly turned downwards, crashing directly towards the palace halfway up the crater.
Let's rewind to one minute earlier, inside this palace.
A woman with jet-black hair sat cross-legged on an Orochi coiled into a chair. "Elder Nyon, what brings you here?"
Two bodyguards stood beside the woman.
One was thinner, but had a large, round head and green hair.
The other one is a bit fatter, but its head is more proportionate.
In front of the three stood a short, old woman leaning on a cane.
The old woman said with a pained expression, "Snake Princess, hasn't the World Government already issued a summons for you? Why are you still holding back?"
"Huh? You old hag."
The world's most beautiful woman's dark green eyes flickered, her exquisitely beautiful nose wrinkled slightly, revealing a somewhat disgusted expression. "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"
Even with such a disgusted expression, the old woman in front of her was thrilled; she even exclaimed with starry eyes, "Wow! That look of disgust is so cute!"
"Wrong!"
However, being an old hand at the trade, the old woman quickly regained her senses, stomped her serpentine staff, and shouted in a shrill voice, "Snake Princess! Now is not the time for you to act recklessly!"
"If we anger the World Government, they might even lose their status as Shichibukai, which would put this country in grave danger!"
"But,"
The stunningly beautiful woman suddenly bit her lip, her eyes flashing with an expression of utter grievance, "I truly do not wish to be controlled by the World Government."
"Wow!! To hell with the World Government!!"
The old woman's expression instantly became dazed, and she shouted indignantly, "How can such a beautiful woman be forgiven for her willful and reckless behavior!"
"Snort."
Pirate Empress Boa Hancock snorted coldly, stood up from the Orochi's back, stepped forward, and grabbed the old woman's head. "If you understand, then get out of my way."
As she spoke, she was about to throw the old woman out the window.
But it was at this very moment...
Boom!!
The dome above the palace suddenly began to shake violently, the ceiling cracked, and tiles shattered and fell.
A black Inazuma pierced through the ceiling and crashed down.
"Forehead!!"
Boa Hancock's body suddenly trembled.
The old woman she had been holding suddenly realized what was happening.
Their expressions changed drastically almost simultaneously.
"Conqueror's Haki!!" x4
The four people in the palace exclaimed in almost unison.
What's remarkable about Amazon Lily is that almost all of its warriors have mastered Haki.
While Haki is relatively common in the New World, strictly speaking, it's only a technique reserved for highly skilled individuals. The average noob can't even get a glimpse of Haki.
However, this is not the case on Amazon Lily, where all the warriors are equipped with dual-color Haki.
Although their strength is much weaker than that of the seasoned users of Haki in the New World, they are indeed all Haki.
Boa Hancock herself is a user of Conqueror's Haki, so it's impossible for them not to recognize what this aura descending from the sky is.
But it's precisely because I recognized it that it's so unbelievable.
"Are you kidding me?! That level of Conqueror's Haki!"
"Elder Nyon, former emperor of Amazon Lily, former high-ranking officer of the Rocks Pirates, Gloriosa exclaimed."
This level of Conqueror's Haki is completely on par with Newgate and Shiki's back in the day!!
It can even cause physical damage!
What kind of monster has arrived?!
Yes, it's only natural to make that judgment.
Conqueror's Haki cannot be trained; the stronger the user, the stronger the Conqueror's Haki.
Naito's true strength is already at the standard Four Emperors level, and his full-force Conqueror's Haki is of course at the Four Emperors level.
Furthermore, Naito's talent in Haki far surpasses that of ordinary people; with the same strength, his Conqueror's Haki is significantly stronger than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, the awe-inspiring power that descended from the heavens at this moment was truly breathtaking!
That is why everyone in the Navy is convinced that as long as Naito masters Conqueror's Haki's Coating, he will immediately become a top-tier fighter at the Admiral level!
"Snake Princess!!"
Elder Nyon suddenly turned around.
A monster has arrived!
A truly super monster!
"..."
Boa Hancock's eyes narrowed abruptly, and a powerful aura emanated from her, colliding with the black lightning descending from the sky.
Crack!
In an instant, black flashes scattered throughout the palace.
The ground was breaking, the pillars were cracking, and the walls were trembling.
"Sonia! Mari!"
Hancock gritted her teeth slightly and said coldly, "Summon the Kuja Pirates! Prepare for battle!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
On the Marine warship side.
Naito withdrew his Conqueror's Haki and nodded slightly. "In that case, the greeting should be adequate."
"That's too rough."
Binz smirked. "You're clearly here to start a war, aren't you?"
"They'd have to have the guts to be my enemy."
Naito said calmly, "Let's go, move closer."
"Huh? But Brother Naito,"
Sanji asked with a mixture of anticipation and doubt, "Didn't Ain say that Boa Hancock has an agreement with the government, and that we can't get close to this island?"
"Then let them file a complaint with the government."
Naito said calmly.
Ain couldn't help but chuckle softly.
That's just like Naito, always doing things his own way.
With the commander giving the order, the navy personnel naturally had nothing to say.
The warship's two outer wheels continued to turn, and soon the large ship had docked at the shore of Amazon Lily.
Naito flipped himself onto the gunwale, swinging his legs and gazing at the lush forest ahead. "Let's wait half an hour."
The island isn't very big; half an hour should be more than enough.
If the person hasn't arrived by the appointed time, then we'll have to resort to a ruse involving a black ship.
Binz, already impatient, leaned halfway out from the ship's railing, looking around in amazement. "The Pirate Empress lives on this island!"
Is she coming soon?
