Unruly Hancock, Attacks Kizaru!
Behind a large tree, Hancock quietly observed the scene before her.
She witnessed a young man catching his breath, standing in front of a massive wild boar carcass.
"Arias's fighting stance is so impressive!" she whispered to herself, lost in admiration. However, an old voice behind her interrupted her reverie.
"Hancock! We still don't know the details of this man. How can you be so infatuated?" scolded Granny Niu.
Hancock turned back, giving Granny Niu a cold stare, then snorted and walked away.
Frowning, Granny Niu watched Hancock depart, feeling that the girl she had rescued was becoming increasingly rebellious.
Once Hancock was gone, Granny Niu approached Arias.
"Granny Niu?"
Arias, still catching his breath and silently congratulating himself on the successful hunt, turned around at the sound of footsteps. Granny Niu, wielding a snake staff, looked at him with an inquisitive expression.
"It's truly peculiar. Why can men be so enchanting? Is it some kind of monster? Or perhaps a Devil Fruit ability?"
Arias, unaware of the old woman's thoughts, offered a friendly smile and asked, "Is there something on your mind, Granny Niu?"
Granny Niu shook off her distracting thoughts and met Arias's gaze directly.
"Who are you?"
Arias was momentarily stunned. Is this old woman doubting him?
But he repeated his earlier statement without changing his expression.
However, Granny New, being an old woman, couldn't easily trust him.
"I don't care who you are or where you come from, but your ideas are too dangerous, and I want you to leave immediately!"
Arias understood what she meant. The idea of destroying Celestial Dragons could put Amazon Lily in danger of destruction. Although the Empress was strong, she was still very immature. If she were to issue a Buster Call, Amazon Lily might disappear from the map.
However, Arias, having just arrived in the world of pirates, was unfamiliar with the place and lacked strength. Leaving Nine Snakes Island now would be self-destruction.
He shook his head and earnestly told Granny New, "Don't worry, I won't implicate Nine Snakes."
Without giving Granny New a chance to continue threatening, he turned around and left.
As for the wild boar? He tried, but carrying it proved too challenging.
Watching his departing figure, Granny New's eyes flashed, and she murmured, "Is this man's arrival a blessing or a curse for Nine Snakes?"
In the following days, Arias continued battling wild animals. In these intense fights, his Liuku Immortal Thief swiftly converted the energy from the Sea Kings' meat in his body.
This rapid improvement in strength continued!
A month later, he had become the overlord of the jungle, and no beast here was his opponent.
On this day, Amazon Lily received an uninvited guest.
To be precise, it was an uninvited Marine guest!
A fleet led by Marine Vice Admiral!
Hancock brought her two foster sisters, Arias, and many female warriors to the shore, and they boarded a huge snake head to the Marine battleship.
"Why is it him?"
Arias, following Hancock, was stunned.
The Vice Admiral appeared to be in his forties, wearing a gray striped shirt, a black hat, black gloves on his hands, and a cigarette in his mouth.
The most striking thing was his extremely laid-back demeanor!
"Hey! This is the new pirate who has made a big splash, the Emperor of Amazon Lily, Boa Hancock!"
The visitor had a lazy attitude, as if nothing could arouse his interest.
"I am Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral Porusalino, and I am here to invite you to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
Porusalino stated his intention straightforwardly.
As he spoke, he looked at Arias with curious eyes: "I've always heard that Amazon Lily is a country of girls. When did there be an extra man?"
Being stared at by the future Marine Admiral, codenamed Kizaru, Arias felt uncomfortable all over.
But Hancock doesn't care who is in front of her. She flatly refused: "Not interested!"
"If you don't leave, you will stay here forever!"
As she spoke, she made a loving gesture with her hands, and a pink light emitted.
The sailors behind Kizaru were all fascinated by Hancock's beauty. Under the Mero Mero Mellow, all of them were instantly petrified!
Damn it!
Arias was shocked!
If you attack Kizaru now, do you think your life is too long?
Porusalino still touched his chin with his hand and did not stimulate the back of his hand with a dagger like the flying squirrel Vice Admiral. He faced Mero Mero Mellow without any harm!
"Is this the legendary ability to turn people into stone?"
Porusalino didn't seem to be worried about the sailors under his command at all and looked at Hancock with interest.
"But it's not okay for you to turn my subordinates into this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the others turned into light and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of Hancock.
But he seemed to intend to establish his power and did not take action immediately after teleporting to Hancock.
Hancock was horrified, with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, but she reacted extremely quickly. After just a moment of shock, Perfume Femur was kicked out!
Hancock had already taken action, and it was useless to regret at this moment. Arias then spat out Porusalino next to him with a mouthful of saliva!
