Chapter 132: Fist Mark
"Hancock, you can't be so proud. You might suffer in the future."
Upon hearing this, the female warriors on the deck of the ship turned around and saw a two-meter-tall blonde woman. She was wearing a red dress and followed by a huge snake, looking very aggressive. But her beautiful face revealed a gentle and peaceful temperament...
"Snake Lady!"
"Snake Lady..."
The nine female snake warriors greeted their queen together.
However, the black-haired girl Hancock (whose name comes from snow fruit) who claimed to be 11 years old did not react much. Instead, she put her hands on her waist and said nonchalantly, "I will suffer a loss? How is that possible?"
"Hancock! You are so rude..."
"How can you speak to Lady Snake like that?"
The female warriors expressed their dissatisfaction. Lady Snake is the emperor of the Nine Snake Island, the most powerful warrior, and the most beautiful woman.
Snake Princess brought her snake to Hancock, leaned over and touched the little girl's tender face, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Hancock is so cute and beautiful, please forgive her."
Hancock thought, isn't this natural? She pushed away the hand that Snake was touching her face.
The other female warriors laughed and said, "Lady Snake is right! Hancock is so cute..."
"She's so beautiful, of course I have to forgive her."
The female warrior Everlandra (whose name comes from the zebra flower) who was as tall as a giant, wearing a hat with a nine-snake pattern on it, a white cloak similar to the navy, and a long sword across her back, smiled and said, "Hancock may grow up to be the most beautiful woman in our Nine Snakes."
Hancock glanced over secretly. Is there still any doubt about this? She made a note of Everlandra who said this in her heart.
At this time, the two giant black-bearded snakes tied to the front of the ship slowly slowed down, and then... stopped and docked.
"Well, let's get ready to start this archery trial."
Snake Princess disembarked with a group of well-trained female warriors from Nine Snake Island and landed on the shore.
These female warriors, including 11-year-old Hancock, all keep a companion snake with them.
After getting on the island, they all reached out to grab the snake's body. The long snake, which cooperated well with the warriors, immediately tensed its body and turned into a longbow. The snake's neck and tail were tied with tacit bowstrings. The movements were so skillful that people could not see clearly how the bowstring was strung... Hancock followed the warriors into the island. Although it was in the waters near Nine Snake Island and there was no thing called "wind" that she longed to feel, it was the land of an outer island after all. The different smell of the forest made the young warrior feel a little excited.
Snake Princess led a group of female warriors and introduced them as they walked: "The sea area around Ruskaina Island has a very special magnetic field... The climate of this island changes once a week, so it is also called the 'Island of Forty-eight Seasons'."
Some female warriors who had never been to this island could not help but marvel at the fact that there was such an island with such a strange climate. They thought that the climate of the Grand Line was already strange enough...
The Snake Queen reminded her people, "The animals that survived the natural elimination on this island are all very ferocious and terrifying. Even I am not sure of winning against some of the overly powerful giant monsters..."
“How could it be…”
"Even Lady Snake can't defeat me?"
"You must be kidding..."
The female warriors looked incredulous, which made Snake Princess laugh. She said gently, "There are many incomprehensible and powerful monsters on this sea. I'm not just talking about the beasts... it's the same among humans!" After a pause, Snake Princess added, "So, in this archery trial, training archery is the priority, and competition between each other is not important. In other words, as you are going to become national warriors in the future, what you need to train this time is unity and cooperation... Do you understand?"
"Um!"
"Don't worry, Lady Snake!"
“We’ll work together.”
"Where's Hancock?"
The one who spoke was Bella Donna (her name came from scopolamine), she was not very old, only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her skills were not bad, and most importantly, she was very talented in herbs and was a good doctor, so she was also brought along for the archery trial on the island of Ruskaina. Treating injuries was secondary, as the female warriors had strong bodies and some minor injuries did not need treatment at all. The main purpose was to prevent the female warriors from encountering any toxins on the island.
After Bella Donna's reminder, everyone realized that Hancock was missing.
"Really, she's too much of a mess."
"She's still so willful... I can't help it. She's so beautiful. I have no choice but to go find her."
"Will she be in danger alone?"
"Don't forget, Hancock is very powerful." Snake Princess calmed everyone down and smiled calmly, "Although she is young, how many of you dare to say that your domineering power is much stronger than hers?"
The female warriors heard this and thought it was true.
Beautiful people are indeed powerful.
Hancock is so beautiful that people can't even envy her, and her strength is also beyond ordinary people.
"Eflandra, you have a better vision, so please go and find Hancock." The Snake Princess looked up and said gently to the tall female warrior, "You should also pay attention to safety. If anything unexpected happens, send out a sentinel arrow to ask for help."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Okay, Lady Snake." Everlandra bent down and saluted obediently, then pressed one hand on the huge hilt of the sword behind her waist, walked away from the team with her long legs, and shouted loudly: "Hancock, where are you..."
On the other side, Hancock was holding her pet Salome, which had been transformed into a snake bow. When she heard the faint shouting coming from behind, she rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay attention.
Going deep into the jungle, we suddenly saw a huge wild beast lying on the roadside ahead.
Hancock drew his bow and drew his arrow with skill and fluency.
The Salome snake head at the top of the bow spit out its tongue, feeling a force called domineering by the nine snake female warriors, which was entangled around the master's arrow.
With a "bang", the arrow shot out at high speed.
This arrow accurately hit the body of the huge animal lying on the roadside ahead, but it did not hit the target silently like an ordinary arrow. Instead, it exploded when it hit the beast lying on the roadside, leaving a large bloody wound on its body, deep enough to see the bone...
Hancock frowned his beautiful eyebrows, "Salome, has it died a long time ago?"
Even if it didn't react to my arrow, it should at least scream when it was hit.
The snake bow hissed and spit out a signal in response.
Hancock walked forward with his bow and touched the flesh at the wound, which was already cold. Moreover, the flesh exuded a foul smell... The huge animal lying on the side of the road was indeed dead.
"This is……"
Hancock found a very obvious fist mark on the head of the huge, cold beast.
Under the fist mark, the huge beast's head collapsed slightly, and blood was flowing from all seven orifices. The blood had turned black and solidified.
How could he smash the skull of such a huge beast with one punch? Hancock pressed his fist against it and compared it. It was not much bigger than his own fist.
………………
“Is this a trace left by everyone who has been here before?”
The female warrior curiously turned over a long-dead black bison on the roadside. The horns of the bison were bent, and its back seemed to have been broken by something and collapsed.
Given that all members of the Kujatribe are named after flowers, it is possible that her first name comes from the scientific name for the snowberry, a plant known for its showy flowers, symphoricarpos chenaultii hancock. Her family name, Boa, comes from theboa, a group of constricting snakes.
