Hancock's pursuit of Maples was less than half a month before she encountered trouble.
Because of the existence of Maples, the plot has been seriously deviated, or Hancock's psychology has been greatly deviated. She is not afraid of Tenryubito or the World Government.
The scene of Maples destroying Holy Land Mariejois, even when she became the Emperor of the Amazon Lily Island, she still reappeared in her dreams from time to time.
Because of this,
She refused the invitation of the World Government's Shichibukai.
Now Hancock does not have the identity of a Shichibukai, and she is still hostile to the World Government, and the Amazon Lily Island does not fly the flag of Maples and has become a subordinate force of Maples.
Even so, she could have been unimpeded in East Blue, because there is no Marine in East Blue that can stop her, but East Blue is too lively during this time.
First, Golden Lion Shiki.
Then, Red Hair Shanks, Revolutionary Army Dragon, and Traveler Maples appeared in East Blue one after another, causing East Blue to be in a state of high alert during this time.
Garp is fixing Luffy, and Aokiji has been dealing with the remaining problems after the destruction of the Golden Lion Pirates and has not yet returned to the Marine Headquarters.
And,
In addition to Aokiji, there are four other Headquarters Vice-Admirals in East Blue.
Among the other four Headquarters Vice-Admirals, Momonga and Yamakaji, who have just been promoted, have average strength, but there is also one who is close to Aokiji in strength, Headquarters Vice-Admiral Momousagi!
This lineup was originally prepared for the Golden Lion Pirates. After Golden Lion was killed by Maples, several Headquarters Vice-Admirals still stayed in East Blue to deal with the follow-up.
As a result, Hancock, who was rampaging in East Blue, was soon discovered by the East Blue Marine, and then triggered a large-scale operation.
Somewhere in the sea.
A fierce naval battle is going on here.
The ship of the Amazon Lily Island is fighting against three large Warships from the Marine Headquarters. The Warships are constantly firing and shooting at each other. The Marines on both sides of the Warships and the female warriors of the Amazon Lily Island are also constantly blocking the cannonballs.
However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that at the center of the battlefield, two women are fighting fiercely at the stern of one of the warships.
One of them was wearing a purple cheongsam. She constantly used exquisite kicking techniques to attack the enemy. Every kick contained the power of Haki and Devil Fruit.
It was Pirate Empress Boa Hancock.
On the other side.
On the opposite side of Hancock is a woman with a famous sword in her hand. She is Marine Headquarters Vice-Admiral Momotsuki and one of the candidates for the position of Admiral.
Hancock is only nineteen years old this year, but because of the Maples, she works harder than usual. Now her strength is very strong, only slightly weaker than Quinn.
But he was still no match for Momousagi.
Momousagi's strength is slightly inferior to Aokiji, but now she is also an Admiral candidate of the Marine Headquarters. Her strength at the moment has not yet reached the level of a Marine Admiral, but she is slightly stronger than Quinn, and she will be close to a Marine Admiral if she grows a little more.
Under Momousagi's attack, Hancock seems to be struggling. If she didn't rely on the charm of Mero Mero Fruit and Haoshoku Haki, which has some influence on Momousagi, she may be defeated in a few dozen moves.
Fighting Momousagi on the Warship is a helpless move.
Because the Amazon Lily Island's ship has been surrounded by the Navy's warships, if she doesn't rush over to fight Momousagi one on one, Momousagi will stand on the warship's side and continuously use long-range slashes and sword qi to attack the ship.
Although Mero-Mero Fruit also has the ability to attack from a distance, it is very difficult to resist Momousagi's continuous attack. If she is not careful, the ship will be destroyed.
"You have no chance of winning."
"It's better to be captured, Pirate Empress."
Momousagi kept waving her sword, and the sword edge collided with Hancock's heel, and sparks splashed. She looked very calm and said to Hancock.
Although Hancock was suppressed and fell into a disadvantage, her eyes did not waver, and she said with a cold face: "This Empress will not … be stopped here by you!"
"You became the Empress of the Amazon Lily Island at a young age. Your talent is really strong, but you refused the government's invitation to Shichibukai, so you are destined to be arrested."
Peach Rabbit held her sword horizontally and said calmly.
The Amazon Lily Island is located in the calm belt. Hancock refused the invitation of Shichibukai before, and the Marine can't do anything to her, but it's different when she comes to East Blue.
"…"
Hancock gritted her teeth slightly.
A thought flashed in her mind. If she was arrested and imprisoned by the Marine, would Maples appear again and save her?
Maybe he will.
But she doesn't want that.
Because it would be too shameful, and she would have no face to see Maples again.
"I have said, I will never … lose to the Marine!"
Hancock took a breath and her eyes were firm. The firmness of her will made her Haki grow faintly, and she recovered a little from the precarious situation.
Momousagi noticed that Hancock's will was extremely firm in this situation, causing her Haki to become a little stronger. Momousagi blinked.
"Haki became stronger …"
"This woman …"
She took a breath and realized that she couldn't delay like this, so she held the sword with both hands and her eyes flashed with a cold light. She was ready to give up the idea of capturing her alive and fully exert her swordsmanship.
But almost as soon as she raised the sword in her hand and waved it in the direction of Hancock, a black crack suddenly appeared in the void in front of her sword.
Then.
A hand stretched out from the crack.
The hand looked ordinary, not big or small, no different from a normal person's palm. After it came out, it bent its index finger and flicked it on the blade.
Ding!!!
There was a crisp sound of the sword.
This simple flick made Momousagi feel a huge force that was difficult to resist. It was transmitted along the blade and made her hand tremble violently.
This force was transmitted along the palm of her hand. She tried her best to hold the hilt of the sword so that it wouldn't fly out of her hand, but she still staggered back a few steps.
"Who?!"
Momousagi shouted at the black crack. Her eyes were full of shock.
Just with a flick of the finger, it stopped her attack and repelled her. What a terrifying power, I'm afraid that few people in the whole sea can do this!
Garp, Whitebeard, and other names flashed in her mind, but they all flashed because those people's palms didn't look like this.
The names that flew through her mind finally settled on one of them.
Traveler –
Maples!
In addition to Whitebeard and Garp, I'm afraid only that man can have such terrifying power!
Almost as soon as she thought of Maples, from the dark crack, Maples stepped out and waved his hand toward the sea.
There was no sound.
The shells between the Marine's Battleship and the Pirate Ship of the Amazon Lily Island were all frozen in the air in an instant, as if time stood still, frozen.
Next, Feng Ye raised his left hand and clenched his fist. The dozens of cannonballs flew into the sky and gathered at a point in the sky. They squeezed together and then exploded with a boom.
"Why did you come to the East Blue?"
After this step, Maples looked at Hancock.
