"Kuro!"
Upon hearing Kuro's words, Lida looked directly at him, her eyes fixed on him, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"I was just saying."
Without looking Lida in the eye, Kuro addressed the female warriors, "Um, where's Boa Hancock?"
The tall, slender female warrior, her hair tied in a ponytail, suppressed the murderous aura emanating from Kuro, straightened her trembling body, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Lady Boa Hancock isn't here. You've come to the wrong place, Marine."
"No way!"
Before Kuro could speak, Lida answered first.
She glared at the other woman's hairstyle and said, "I can sense that woman's nasty aura; she's on this island."
After saying that, she glanced at her smooth white hair, looked around, and suddenly walked towards a navy man. To his astonishment, she pulled the indigo silk scarf tied around his shoulder.
She swept her hair up, tied it into a bow, and put her white hair up in a ponytail.
Then, she puffed out her chest—which looked incredibly wealthy, enough to hold several warships—to the ponytail-wearing female warrior, with a proud expression that said, "I won."
The ponytail-wearing female warrior was somewhat bewildered by her appearance, not understanding what this girl was so proud of.
and...
The ponytail-wearing warrior glanced at Lida's chest, thinking, "What's so great about that sea-level chest..."
Seemingly sensing the meaning in the ponytail warrior's gaze, Lida widened her eyes and was about to transform into her girl form when a voice rang out from behind the jungle.
"You filthy men, who allowed you to set foot on my island!"
The sound carried an extremely powerful aura, pressing down on the jungle, causing it to rustle and sink deeper into the forest, as if in submission.
The force swept towards the shore, causing the sailors to freeze, their eyes to roll back, and one by one they collapsed.
Fanny was also swaying, but she couldn't hold on for long before she fainted.
"Tsk."
Kro clicked his tongue and subconsciously transformed into his half-orc form.
Lida transformed into a young girl, gazing intently into the depths of the jungle.
"Conqueror's Haki?!"
Sazil was so overwhelmed by this imposing aura that he knelt on one knee, sweat beading on his forehead, staring in horror into the jungle.
Kikyo took a few steps back, drew her bow and nocked an arrow. Without waiting for orders, the bowstring twanged like thunder, and the arrow flew out like a streak of light.
Just then, an arrow suddenly emerged from the jungle and collided with Kikyo's arrow.
"Your archery skills are quite good."
A sound rang out from within the jungle.
A dashing woman carrying a bow walked out, gave Kikyo an approving look, and then stood aside after leaving the forest.
From within the jungle, several female warriors gradually emerged, their aura far surpassing that of the guards.
The female warriors stood in two rows, forming a human-shaped passage. Then, two huge shadows surrounded a slender figure in the middle, who walked slowly forward.
The two shadows were two enormous women, each over four meters tall, with huge bodies. One had green hair, and the other had orange hair. The woman flanking them was 1.9 meters tall, with silky black hair. She walked with a graceful and charming gait.
Boa Hancock.
The world's most beautiful woman, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, captain of the Kuja Pirates, empress of Amazon Lily, and a stunningly beautiful tyrant.
She wore a low-cut top, and as she walked, her ample chest swayed with every step. Below her slender waist were a pair of long, beautiful legs. The open design, resembling a cheongsam, was almost completely unobstructed with her steps, yet the deepest part remained unseen, leaving one's heart pounding with desire.
At least Kuro was scratching.
His eyes were practically darting up and down, his left eye looking at his upper body and his right eye looking at his lower body. As Hancock arrived, he muttered, "Why don't you show some skin? Why aren't you showing any? Is this the attire of the strong?"
"Kuro!"
Lida glared at him and said, "Your eyes are about to pop out!"
"Yeah?"
Kuro realized what was happening and pouted, saying, "That's really scary. The Seven Warlords of the Sea are indeed powerful."
Lida snorted and glared fiercely at Hancock as she approached.
Sure enough, this woman is exceptionally annoying!
"Lucil Kuro..."
A black line appeared on Hancock's forehead as she looked at the few remaining Marines standing there and said, "I remember we had an agreement with the World Government that no outsiders, whether from the World Government or the Navy, are allowed to come to this island."
"Ah...that kind of thing."
Kuro thought for a moment and said, "It seems like there was something like that, but you didn't answer the phone. I was wondering if you had any troubles, like the ship breaking down or something, or if you were having mobility issues, or..."
He looked at Hancock, a slight smile playing on his lips: "For some man in a straw hat or something."
Upon hearing this, the two women beside Hancock stared blankly, their eyes filled with shock.
He...found out?!
Thump!
A sound came from the ground, and a puff of smoke appeared. Hancock's body disappeared, and a blur flew past Lida and Kuro. To their horror, a long leg, like a whip, kicked towards Kuro's neck.
when!
A black knife was placed against that leg, and a shockwave was unleashed and blew it away.
Kuro gripped Shusui with his left hand, the blade not yet fully drawn from its sheath. He pulled it open slightly, supporting Hancock's legs, and said, "Oh? Why do you seem to be killing me, 'Empress' Boa Hancock? I'm just here on a mission to pick you up."
"Shut up! You've trespassed on my island, and I'm just furious!"
Hancock missed her kick, pulled back her leg, did a backflip, pressed her hands on the ground, and her long leg spiraled straight at her.
"Fragrant feet!"
"Then..."
Kuro stepped back to the side, pulled his left hand up, and drew out Shusui. He swung his left hand repeatedly to block Hancock's series of kicks from all directions. Then, he shifted his body to dodge Hancock's kick. At the same time, he released his left hand, and Shusui froze in mid-air for a moment before landing on his right hand.
"Just playing around with it for a bit."
In an instant, Hancock changed her handstand kicking stance, bracing herself with her hands on the ground and leaping into the air, jumping high into the air.
A black light flashed past where she had been standing.
"Slice the Waves".
But the black light hadn't ended yet. Kuro turned his blade and swung it upwards, unleashing a golden slash that shot straight at Hancock in the air.
Hancock kicked out, shattering the slash, then spun several times in the air before landing back on the ground, where she and Kuro stared at each other.
Her face was full of solemnity.
Even before he defeated Redfield, Hancock knew that this man was not to be underestimated.
Almost all the veteran Shichibukai knew that, in the Navy, besides the three admirals, the person they needed to be most wary of was Lucilfer Clow.
