Chapter 259
But being old and frail, and having not fought anyone for decades, all she could do at this moment was to brace herself against the tree trunk to keep her balance.
Then, he stared in disbelief at the figure that had disappeared into the woods.
There are actually monsters like this in the world!!
He's only a few years old!
In the distance, below the majestic ring-shaped mountain range.
Part of the mountainside here has collapsed, creating a huge hole tens of meters high.
A large amount of rubble piled up on the ground, forming a small rocky hill.
The next moment, the rock mountain exploded.
Accompanied by leaping black arcs of electricity, stones of all sizes shot out in all directions, and a figure leaped out.
"Forehead--"
The Pirate Empress landed on the ground, the world's most beautiful woman now in a sorry state.
His face was covered in dust and dirt, with blood still lingering at the corners of his mouth. His exquisite face was now filled with pain, fine beads of sweat covered his smooth forehead, and his beautiful eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
It hurts!!
She was slightly hunched over, as if her intestines were about to be ruptured by that punch!
On her exposed, flat stomach, a chilling, dark purple fist mark was deeply imprinted.
That damned bastard! How dare he treat me like this?!
But what exactly were those phantoms he created?
If even Observation Haki can't distinguish truth from falsehood, then how can one possibly become his enemy?
Are you thinking about me?
The young Marine Vice Admiral emerged from the dense forest. "There's no need for this pointless thing. You should be thinking about how to surrender with more dignity."
"How arrogant!"
Boa Hancock suddenly sprang into action.
The ground beneath her feet shattered under her feet, cracking into a large, spiderweb-like pattern.
An overwhelming force propelled her body through the air like a gust of wind.
"Perfume Femur!"
The red high heels turned pitch black at this moment, with invisible ripples Coating them!
Of course, it's the highest level of Armament Haki for Internal Destruction!
The sharp high heels are about to pierce through everything!
A red light flickered in Naito's eyes.
"Kami-e."
In the split second, just as the Empress's cheek head-on, Naito's body twisted and deformed.
Like putty, it collapsed to one side, and thus, the Empress's long legs brushed past Naito.
In that instant, Naito reached out and grabbed the Empress's right hand, which she was using to protect herself.
It feels smooth, delicate, and soft to the touch, like warm, fragrant jade; it's hard to imagine that this is the hand of a great pirate.
It feels great.
They have a lot of power when you swing them.
Naito grabbed the Empress's hand and forcefully flung it to her side.
Boa Hancock's slender body transformed into a long whip at that moment.
"..."
The woman's pupils constricted, and she quickly summoned her Haki defensive energy.
"Undersea Drop!"
Boom!
The Empress was slammed heavily to the ground by Naito.
The earth shattered in an instant, and countless rocks and soil were thrown into the sky as if weightless, creating a huge hole tens of meters deep in the ground in a flash.
"Forehead!"
For a moment, the Empress's mind went blank.
Such incredible power!
Before she could even think, Naito had already pulled her up again, swung her backward to gather strength, and then stepped forward, twisting his waist to exert force.
As the earth shattered, the Empress was launched by Naito like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the mountainside in front of her.
Boom!!
Amidst a deafening roar, dust billowed into the air.
The towering cliff collapsed in an instant, and the huge crack tore apart the massive characters "Kuja" in the first place.
It then continued upwards, causing the snake head statue at the top, which had stood there for countless years, to suddenly shatter.
Rumble!
The mountain range on this side collapsed.
Naito launched himself into the air, dodging the collapsing boulders.
The natural wall protecting Amazon Lily was now missing a corner, Naito could now see the true form of the Kuja Kingdom inside the ring-shaped mountain range.
Well, calling it a country is a bit of a stretch, because it's really not that big; it just has a few scattered villages.
If I had to name it, the Amazon Lily should probably be called a tribe.
Boom!
A violent aura surged into the sky, and the piled-up rubble exploded once more.
Laugh!
A huge pink arrow came flying straight at them.
Naito casually kicked out, and a vacuum wave, like a dark ray, pierced through the air, suddenly colliding with the giant arrow.
Boom!
A violent explosion erupted in the sky.
A figure was ejected from below the explosion.
"Great Perfume Femur!"
Boa Hancock nearly roared.
The woman, who always cared a lot about her appearance, was now completely oblivious to her disheveled state.
The clothes were already tattered and torn, revealing a lot of skin, and now they could barely cover anything.
Blood was seeping from the corners of the woman's mouth and nostrils, her eyes were bloodshot, and her skin was covered in abrasions.
We absolutely cannot lose!
Absolutely not!
Naito's lips twitched slightly. "Thousand Shadows."
The sky was instantly filled with endless phantoms once again.
Boa Hancock's pupils constricted.
I can't find it!
She couldn't find that guy again. No matter how much she used her Observation Haki, she couldn't find where he was!
"Get out here right now!!"
Boa Hancock roared as she kicked the endless clones one after another.
Then.
A hand, as if forged of steel, grabbed her neck from behind.
Boa Hancock's expression changed drastically, but it was too late.
She was grabbed and slammed heavily to the ground, her upper body almost completely embedded in the earth.
But at this moment, Hancock felt not physical pain.
Instead, the already tattered clothes were completely destroyed by the friction with the ground at that moment.
A cool sensation ran down my back.
"..."
The Pirate Empress's mind went completely blank.
Oh no, he saw it!
Naito did indeed see it; the ugly brand on the woman's smooth back.
Naito, however, didn't react much. He already knew this; what was there to be surprised about?
Naito simply pressed down on the back of the Pirate Empress's head, using his knee to press against her back.
"I'll ask you one last time, Boa Hancock, no or yes?"
This woman's Haki is indeed much stronger than Doflamingo's, especially her Armament Haki, which has reached the level of Internal Destruction.
However, in terms of overall strength, he is not much stronger Doflamingo. After all, without the ability to petrify himself directly, the power of the Love-Love Fruit is largely wasted.
That makes sense, though, this woman is only twenty-three years old and still growing.
"..."
Boa Hancock did not answer, but this time it wasn't because of her defiance; Naito noticed that the woman's body was trembling.
Hot tears streamed down her beautiful face as she was pinned to the ground.
"Tsk."
Naito was speechless.
Okay, I've got a PTSD flare-up.
And judging from this situation, it makes it seem like I, Brother Naito, am the criminal.
But Naito didn't let go; instead, he tightened his grip, almost breaking the woman's neck. "I'll give you an answer."
Does this man still intend to torment me now?
Boa Hancock was utterly despondent. Almost in despair, she said, "What's the point of my reply? Just report what you saw to the Celestial Dragons."
