Chapter 306 Hancock's Gift (Two in One)

The combat effectiveness of the strong ones in the world of One Piece is actually difficult to quantify accurately.

Because of the existence of the special mechanism of "life return" rooted in the deepest level of every life in this ocean, it leads to a very outrageous, but also passionate and romantic result - when your will is strong enough, strong to the point of madness, you can really burn unimaginable flames and burst out incredible power.

That's why Roronoa Zoro can cut off anything that stands in his way time and time again with scars all over his body.

So every time Monkey D. Luffy had the determination to burn everything he had, he always gritted his teeth and stood until the last moment. Even when he was on the verge of death so many times in the big prison, he always survived miraculously.

Strong-willed people are scary.

In the world of One Piece, people with strong will are more terrifying.

In the world of One Piece, the most fucking terrifying people are those who are determined enough to sacrifice their lives without regrets.

So unless the gap between the two is as big as a chasm, it is not certain who will win or lose, who is strong or weak. The veteran Shichibukai, Crocodile and Gekko Moriah, who have strong devil fruit abilities, will still lose to Straw Hat Luffy, who is not as strong, knowledgeable, experienced, or young as them... Compared with Luffy who never wavers, their determination is far behind.

How strong is Hancock?

Lynch's Observation Haki is good at judging the strength of a person's aura. He can clearly sense that Hancock's aura is not as strong as his.

But he would never think that Hancock was necessarily weaker than himself.

Even though Hancock has basically never beaten him in countless competitions over the years, Lynch still doesn't think that Hancock will definitely lose.

Hancock is the strongest Amazon warrior on Nine Snake Island after Tulip's "death".

Then, what about her will? Is it firm? Lin Qi felt that in the eyes of Hancock, who was born arrogant and domineering, she probably would not consider the question of whether her will was firm or not, and there would be no one or anything that could make her even a little shaken, thinking that she was not the center of the world, the most beautiful woman in the world... Extreme narcissism, who can say that this is not a firm will? In the original time and space, the Empress might have a mental loophole from being a slave of the Celestial Dragons, but the current Hancock, who had a thrilling experience of being almost abducted by human traffickers, had no mental loopholes at all. Even if someone knew about her experience in some unknown way and verbally attacked her, it would not cause much harm, but would only bring ruthless revenge...

How strong is Giorno?

Hancock was becoming increasingly difficult to see clearly, which was why she proposed this final duel.

She still remembered that when they first met a few years ago, they started greeting each other with fists.

I didn't expect this guy to become stronger day by day, year by year, and I can't catch up with him. It's really infuriating! Hancock wanted to fight him seriously before he left the Nine Snakes. On the other hand, she also hoped that he would fight her well. The Nine Snakes are strong and beautiful, and the Amazons are a fighting nation. She wanted to... remember him in this way. She also hoped that he would remember her.

Oh, how could anyone forget me? Dark golden snake pupils, charming eye shadow, Hancock smiled wickedly, exuding an invincible youthful aura intertwined with charming and sweet style, her long black hair twisted into a thin snake, hissing and spitting out its tongue, rolling towards the man in close combat.

The snake's fangs bit Lynch's neck one by one, but all of them made popping sounds, and the fangs couldn't even pierce Lynch's skin.

Lynch raised an eyebrow at her. Hancock smiled. He had expected this result. There was nothing he could do about it.

…

A day and a night passed.

A large area of ​​forest was ravaged by the two men, with trees broken, rocks shattered, and holes everywhere.

The birds and beasts in the forest had long since avoided this area. The two humans' auras were more powerful than theirs, like monsters! They were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

The sky is getting brighter...

Bonnie yawned and rubbed her eyes. She leaned against a tree, having woken up from a sleepy nap.

Before she fully opened her eyes, she heard a series of "bang", "bang", "bang", "boom" noises not far away. She immediately opened her eyes in shock and shouted, "The two of them... are still fighting?!"

Sanda Sonya turned around and asked, "Are you awake?"

Marigrude watched from afar the two people fighting in the rubble. Their fists and feet were flying and their domineering aura was so thrilling that she didn't bother to pay attention to Bonnie who had woken up.

"Are they still human? It's been a whole day and a night, and they have the strength of monsters!" Bonnie was shocked and felt that her hope of escaping from Nine Snake Island became even slimmer.

As soon as she moved, she found the blanket covering her body. When she looked down, she realized that it was not a blanket but her clothes.

Bonnie was shocked. She was stripped naked?

When I took off the clothes covering my body, I found that I was fully dressed and had not been stripped. So where did this set of identical clothes come from?

Bonnie looked around blankly and found a few layers of clothes on the ground next to her. There was a person lying on his side taking a nap, also covered with the same clothes as a blanket. Xu Lun...

Robin was not sleeping deeply. He slowly opened his eyes and heard the sounds of fists and feet not far away. He knew that Lynch and Hancock had not finished fighting yet.

This is also the reason why they seldom fought with all their might in the past. At their level, in a fight that is not a life-and-death duel, or even a civilized competition where they are not willing to injure the other party... it is impossible to end the fight unless one of the parties’ physical strength is completely exhausted.

Robin noticed Bonnie's confused face over there, and sat up with her long hair loose, "What's wrong?"

"These clothes..." Bonnie was very confused.

Robin shook his head and said, "The flower clone doesn't appear naked! I just need to control it more finely to do something like this..."

As she thought about it, the layers of clothes on the ground where she was sitting, as well as the clothes covering her and Bonnie, suddenly broke into petals and scattered on the ground.

"Is this possible?" Bonnie was no longer confused, she was shocked.

It's very similar to what I said when I saw Lynch's operation before... Robin brushed her messy hair. Most devil fruit abilities have a coverage area when activated, and most of them are tightly attached to the body surface of the ability user. For example, the Castle Fruit is like this. The ability coverage layer close to the body surface of the Castle Fruit will be shrunk and taken into the city... The Flower-Flower Fruit is the same. The ability covers the body closely, so when creating a clone, the clothes will naturally be copied as well, and even some accessories carried with the person.

Robin narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people who were fighting in the distance. He asked the two Boa sisters, "Are you hungry?"

Unlike the original time and space, Mary, who was still young and beautiful, touched her flat belly and growled.

Sanda smiled and said, "It's indeed time for breakfast."

Bonnie looked at the three people who were going to make breakfast together - probably picking some fruits from the woods - and was very speechless. She turned her head and looked at the two people who were playing the same as yesterday, at least in her opinion, there was not much change... They were playing with all their heart, while they were leisurely eating breakfast. What a weird picture!

"Wait for me!" Bonnie hurried after him, she was also hungry.

…

As warriors, Sanda and Mari watched the long battle between their sister and Giorno with great interest.

Although it is not a competition to determine who is better or to decide life or death, civilized competition also has civilized views. This form of fair competition can allow them to see many exciting aspects. The ideas behind the moves and the use of domineering moves are all worth learning and imitating.

Robin watched their fight for a while, and when he got tired, he sat down and read a few books to rest.

Only Bonnie got bored the fastest. She started to feel bored half a day after the competition started. But she felt bored and those people would not let her go, so she could only sit there and sulk. She found that no one would pay attention to her even if she sulk, so she had to relieve her boredom by herself. Hancock's two sisters were very fierce and liked to tease people, so she had to talk to that Kujo Jolyne, who seemed to be easy to talk to.

Unexpectedly, Kujo Jolyne just took out a few books for her to choose from and invited her to read together.

Bonnie flipped through the pages for a while and felt even more bored. Before she knew it, she began to doze off again.

The sun is high in the sky... The sun is setting in the west... The sun is setting at dusk... The night sky is full of stars...

When it was bright the next day, Bonnie was woken up by someone. When she opened her eyes, she saw the green-haired woman spitting out a snake's tongue, which scared her.

"Finally the fight is over?" Bonnie stretched and stood up. "They fought for two days and two nights. They are really two monsters..."

Robin covered his mouth and yawned softly, squinting at the mess in front of him and seeing two tall figures walking against the morning sunlight.

Marigrud stared at him with dark circles under her eyes and said in annoyance: "I just took a nap... I didn't see the results..."

Lynch and Hancock walked slowly side by side, both of them looked exhausted after the battle. Maybe the battle ended late at night or early in the morning, so they had rested for a while, so they didn't look exhausted enough to make people notice anything unusual. In other words - Robin and the others couldn't tell who was the first to give up.

Although the answer can be guessed, I still want to know who won and who lost! Marigrud blinked her beautiful dark eyes at her sister.

"Sister, who won among you?" Sandasonia asked curiously.

"Hmph!" Hancock didn't answer, but just raised her chin, leaving everyone with a proud back view, "Let's go, it's almost time to go back."

Marigrud muttered, "It can't be that my sister really won, right?"

After being patted on the head by the second sister, she followed her to chase the eldest sister.

Could it be that Hancock really won? Robin looked at Lynch with a puzzled look and a smile.

Lin Qi gave her an innocent look in return, touched his belly and said, "Sister Xu Lun, I'm so hungry!"

"Then let's go get something to eat." Robin nodded, didn't argue, and pulled him away.

Only Bonnie didn't care who won or lost, because she couldn't beat them anyway. Instead, she was thinking: Why does Giorno call Jolyne sister even though he is older than her?

…

Nine Snake Island, seaside.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After the battle, relax.

Have a good meal before leaving.

Lynch temporarily took out the mythical beast chips from the three sisters of the Boa family so that they could go into the sea and play in the water without any worries.

Sanda and Mary were both very happy. After becoming users of the Devil Fruit, they became unable to swim. Fortunately, with Giorno's help, they could still enjoy swimming.

Originally, Lynch didn't mind helping Bonnie, but unfortunately the Queen Mother was so scared that she kept shaking her head. She didn't want to have her abilities taken away and turn into an old woman.

Robin needed to maintain the "Joylo Mask" and could not take the Hana-Hana Fruit, so she held a book, smiled and read on the beach, watching them play.

Like her sisters, Hancock changed into a short swimming suit and floated on the sea with her long limbs spread out.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, listening to the sounds of playing and laughing, she recalled what happened in the early hours of the night...

…

【The night sky is full of stars.】

[In the messy woods, a young man over 2.2 meters tall stood in the moonlight, catching his breath for a while before calming down.]

[“Hey,” Lynch kicked the snake fairy’s leg. The girl was now limp on the ground like mud, with silent eyes. “You’re not dead, are you?”]

[“Huff…Huff…” Hancock glanced at him blankly, obviously not having the energy to pay attention to him.]

[“It seems that I win again, Your Majesty.” Lin Qi smiled. ]

[He raised his foot and hooked it, then gently lifted Hancock under her armpit and lifted her up. It was amazing, Hancock's fighting power was off the charts, and her physical strength was as strong as a monster - Lynch spent two days and two nights to make this girl tired and weak and lie down - but her weight was extremely light. Compared with her height of nearly 1.9 meters and fighting power, this weight was really light.]

[Hancock leaned softly in Lynch's arms, her chin hanging on his shoulder, and her panting breath had a wet and hot fragrance.]

[Lin Qi muttered: "You are really a Mary Sue heroine. Even your sweat smells good... It's unscientific!"]

[“It smells good…?” I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but my panting became heavier. ]

[Boom boom, boom boom, boom boom…]

[With such close proximity, Lynch could clearly feel the other person's pulse.]

[“Your heartbeat is quickening, Your Majesty.”]

[“Don’t call me that.” She seemed a little dissatisfied. “Just call me Hancock…”]

[“Okay, Hancock.” Lynch followed suit. “Are you nervous? This is not like you, Hancock girl.”]

[“Stop talking!”]

【"All right."】

[Boom boom boom, boom boom boom, boom boom boom boom…]

[Lin Qi didn't understand where this girl got the strength from. She was as soft as a snake just now, but suddenly she broke free from his arms, her face flushed, her eyes showing a charming shyness, and she rushed directly towards his face.]

[Not far away, Sandra Sonya was sleeping against a tree, Marigold was dozing on the ground with her butt sticking up, and Robin was sleeping soundly against Bonnie.]

【The sky is full of stars and the full moon is high in the sky. 】

[A young man of about 2.3 meters tall and a girl of 1.9 meters tall sat on the coast, looking at the black calm sea in the distance.]

[What's going on? Lin Qi looked up at the sky in silence.]

[Hancock said: "Will you come back?"]

[Lin Qi reminded: "Please don't make it seem like a life-and-death separation..."]

【Young girls are so sentimental! Tsk.】

[Hancock punched him, lightly touching his cheek with his fist, and wrinkled his nose to show his displeasure.]

[“We are all so young, and there is still plenty of time in the future. Who knows? Maybe after wandering around the Grand Line for a few years, you will get bored and come back!” Lin Qi laughed, “Maybe you will find being an empress boring and stop being one, and come to the Grand Line to play with us?”]

【Hancock twisted the fist against his face.】

[“You are so willful, arrogant, unreasonable, and self-centered. You do whatever you want.” Lynch grabbed her wrist and took her fist away. “I wouldn’t be surprised if you suddenly disbanded the Amazon Lily Country one day!”]

【“…” Hancock lowered her head, her ears turned red. 】

[Hey, you don’t think I’m praising you, do you? Lin Qi was shocked.]

[In the horizon, the gradually rising sun reflects the black sea surface into a fiery red, with a hint of deep blue on the edge. From afar, the scenery is magnificent and magical. ]

【Lin Qi laughed and said: "You know, you and I are from the same hometown!"】

【“Hmm?” Hancock was puzzled. 】

[“This time I went out to sea to fulfill someone’s wish…” Lin Qi said, “In her suicide note, she asked me to go back to her hometown, the Kingdom of Flowers, and I agreed to it in front of her grave. You have to do what you promised, otherwise you’re not a man, and how can you still be out on the sea?”]

[Last letter? She? Hancock asked softly: "Is it your mother?"]

[“I guess so!”]

[After resting for a while, Lynch and Hancock walked back side by side in the morning light. From a distance, they saw Robin yawning with his hands covering his mouth, as if he had just woken up...]

…

Giorno and Jolyne are finally ready to leave.

The three Hancock sisters came to see them off and accompanied them all the way to the city gate.

Two chapters combined into one, too lazy to separate them
