"You bastard!"

Hancock raised an eyebrow. Although she hadn't underestimated this man, the fact that he had broken through her 'Prisoner's Arrow' with just his abilities was simply too monstrous.

"Hmm? That's not right..."

She stared at Kuro in the air. The man's expression seemed a bit off, as if he had used some kind of physically demanding technique. Although he hid it well, she still noticed that Kuro's breathing had changed rhythm.

Indeed, her moves are not so easy to counter.

Keep up the good work!

"The Captive's Arrow!"

Hancock's act of kindness once again unleashed a deluge of pink arrows.

Her attacks were relentless and her arrows were incredibly fast. It wasn't easy for Kuro to dodge her attacks; if he were hit by even one arrow, he would be petrified.

Ability, sometimes, is a miracle; it defies logic.

Just as Kuro was wary of Sugar in Dressrosa, no matter how strong she was, she would become like a toy if touched or fed candy.

And now, Ain, who is following Zephyr, has the power to regress twelve years with just one touch, and becomes twenty-four years old with two touches. Kuro is twenty-five this year, and if he touches it a third time, he will go back to his mother's womb.

etc...

Kuro raised an eyebrow. If he were to be touched three times, would he travel back in time?

Forget it, it's better not to do something so dangerous.

Kuro clenched his fist, his power continuing to stir the air, creating a gale that swept the incoming pink arrows into the sky.

These arrows are good, although they require the medium of air to control, making them less easy to manipulate. Moreover, they are Hancock's own ability, so they are useless to herself and those around her, since she can undo her own power.

But it works very well against other people.

Although we can't perform precise micro-management, at least we have enough quantity to unleash a volley of arrows, turning anyone hit into stone.

This is great stuff!

Then bring more.

Pink arrows shot out in rapid succession, seemingly not wanting to give Kuro any breathing room, while Kuro simply kept using his ability to make the wind blow all the pink arrows upwards.

Gradually, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing became heavier and heavier.

It's not easy to hold it in like this!

This level of power, comparable to that of a Shichibukai, is not something that can be easily faked by an ordinary person.

He had to put on a show of pretending to be in complete control, but actually on the verge of collapse. It was a real test of his acting skills, and it was exhausting to hold it in.

If she relaxes even slightly, the woman will probably realize she's being played.

I haven't gotten enough yet, I can't let it slip.

"Big sister, we're here to help you!"

The two enormous figures then rushed out and transformed into snake-men.

The green-haired snake-man is Sandasonia.

The orange-haired snake-woman is Marigold.

She is Hancock's sister.

Bang!

Marigold's body suddenly swayed to the side, and a pale blue light flew past her body, cutting a gash in the ground.

Kro blocked Marigold's path, grinning and revealing his canine teeth: "Don't even think about getting past me."

Meanwhile, Lida stood in front of Sandersonia, saying, "You won't interfere with Kuro's affairs."

If others don't know, how could they not know?

It's obvious at a glance that Kuro is filling his Heavenly Treasury again.

If they get disturbed at this time, they'll be the ones who suffer...

Without 'them', only Chloe would suffer.

As a subordinate, if he can't even meet this basic requirement that no one can interfere, Kuro can imagine Kuro's anger.

"Get out of the way!"

Marigold wielded a large axe, which, combined with her massive and obese figure, swung with tremendous force as she swung it at the werewolf-beast before her.

With just a few swings, Kro perfectly dodged them all. He leaped onto the surface of Marigold's axe, crouched slightly, and confidently declared, "Observation Haki? I can do that too."

Marigold uses the power of Observation Haki. If it were an ordinary person, she would know the signs of the opponent's dodge early on and then attack, usually hitting the target.

Unless the other party is faster than her, or also possesses Observation Haki.

"Does the navy of Paradise also possess an imposing aura?"

Marigold stared at Crow, somewhat surprised.

But then she thought about it and felt relieved.

The other party is Lucilfer Kuro's subordinate, so we can't judge them by ordinary standards.

"venom!"

Seeing Kro standing on the surface of his axe, Marigold opened his mouth and spat out a stream of purple venom.

Kro was startled and quickly jumped away from the axe. The venom swept past Kro and landed on the ground, corroding a hole in it.

Marigold is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user with the Snake-Snake Fruit, King Cobra form.

Her second sister, Sandasonia, is in the form of a python.

The three women, collectively known as the 'Gorgon Sisters', defeated the monster 'Gorgon' in the legend of Amazon Lily, but were cursed as a result. They bear cursed marks on their backs, and if seen, people will turn to stone.

But the truth...

Kuro glanced over there briefly.

In my memory, Hancock's two sisters were quite good-looking back then. Although their green hair and large heads were always a big thing, it didn't matter and didn't affect their looks.

But after that incident, apart from Hancock who was naturally gifted, the other two paid a heavy price to become stronger.
