Chapter 80 : Captured Hancock!!

The crowd was stunned to see the sudden attack; they hadn't expected anyone to strike at Buggy at this moment!

"Perfume Femur!"

A long leg swung through the air as Boa Hancock didn't hold back at all, delivering a full-force kick toward Buggy!

Having been thrown away by Buggy, Boa Hancock missed encountering Ivankov and Luffy! Moreover, with her title as a Shichibukai stripped and now being hunted by the Navy, Boa Hancock had no choice but to use Buggy's ship to leave Marineford!

Boa Hancock didn't find this situation odd at all; everyone should be at her feet, serving her!

On the contrary, Boa Hancock was constantly looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Buggy!

However, after suffering several defeats at Buggy's hands previously, Boa Hancock chose not to launch a direct assault this time but opted for a sneak attack instead!

Earlier, when Doflamingo agreed to Buggy's request, Buggy, in his excitement, exposed a vulnerability that Boa Hancock had been waiting for. Thus, she acted decisively!

One must admit that Boa Hancock had a keen eye for opportunity. Her sudden attack did indeed catch Buggy off guard for a moment!

However, Buggy was more surprised by why Boa Hancock was here than the sneak attack itself.

As for the sneak attack... what a joke! Was this really a sneak attack?

Charging in grandly after finding an enemy's flaw was hardly different from a frontal assault!

When it came to sneak attacks, it was more about Blackbeard and Shiryu!

Buggy raised his hand, using Armament Haki to block Boa Hancock's kick!

With a dull thud, Buggy was sent retreating several steps before he could steady himself!

Boa Hancock was indeed very strong, but could she surpass Whitebeard and Sengoku?

Buggy could withstand attacks from Whitebeard and Sengoku, so Boa Hancock's kick was nothing to him!

Shaking his numb arm, Buggy frowned at the imposing Boa Hancock and said, "Hancock, are you out of your mind? Is it necessary to harass me like this?"

Boa Hancock snorted lightly and said, "Not only did you break one of Luffy's legs, but you also did such things to me. Regardless of what happens, I will never let you go!"

Buggy was somewhat speechless, but looking at Boa Hancock's self-righteous demeanor, he couldn't help but show a hint of unusual expression in his eyes and said, "Even if you want to take revenge, at least choose a better time and place!"

"Right now, everyone here is my people. Do you want to experience a bit of ruthlessness?" 

"Hmph, there's a flaw!" Boa Hancock didn't understand the deeper meaning of Buggy's words, but being very familiar with the look men gave her, she quickly noticed the fleeting unusual glint in Buggy's eyes. She swiftly raised her hand and assumed an archery stance, "Pistol Kiss!"

A pink arrow shot out from Boa Hancock's hand, heading straight for Buggy's face!

Buggy, fully aware of Boa Hancock's Love-Love Devil Fruit powers, paid no attention to the pink arrows and simply raised his hand to block them casually.

In the next moment, Buggy furrowed his brows slightly as he observed a small section of his arm turned to stone, showing a thoughtful expression.

Seeing this, Boa Hancock snorted with satisfaction and said, "Hmph, a filthy man is just a filthy man!"

Buggy, his Haki surging within him, dispelled the effects of Boa Hancock's Devil Fruit power. He shook his hand and said, "Boa Hancock, do you even realize what you're doing?"

Boa Hancock, hearing this, pointed at Buggy, tilted her head back, and with a condescending nose-up gesture said, "No matter what I do, I'll always be forgiven, because I am just too beautiful..."

"Shockwave!"

Before Boa Hancock could finish her sentence, Blackbeard suddenly appeared beside her and delivered a powerful punch, infused with boundless shockwave force, to her lower back!

Though Boa Hancock sensed Blackbeard's move, her inhuman pose left her unable to defend herself in time, and she was knocked away by Blackbeard's blow!

In mid-air, Boa Hancock was injured and bleeding from her mouth, her exquisite face contorted in pain!

While Blackbeard's punch wasn't lethal, it clearly inflicted significant damage on Boa Hancock.

However, the next moment, Buggy's figure appeared beside Boa Hancock. He grabbed her slender neck with a hand like an iron clamp and, showing no mercy, slammed her downwards!

With a loud 'boom,' Boa Hancock's entire body sank into the deck!

"Hahaha!" Blackbeard laughed heartily and said, "Buggy, stop wasting time on this woman! Deal with her quickly and get back to business!"

Buggy ignored Blackbeard, lifting Boa Hancock's body by the neck, and turned to Domino, saying, "Domino, go get a pair of Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs and restrain her!"

Domino responded with a nod, turned, and entered the ship's cabin. Shortly after, she emerged with a pair of Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs.

To guard against prisoners with Devil Fruit powers causing trouble, large warships like these are generally equipped with several pairs of Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs. Naturally, the three warships under Buggy's command were no exception.

Once Domino had secured Boa Hancock with Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs, Buggy spoke up: "Throw her down into the prison below, provide her with food and water, and make sure she stays alive!"

Domino nodded, hoisted Boa Hancock, and turned to leave.

Buggy then turned to Blackbeard and the others, smiling, "Alright everyone, let's continue with what we were doing earlier!"

With that, Buggy led the way to the meeting room in the ship's cabin.

The others glanced at each other, and one by one, they followed Buggy into the cabin. 

However, most remained where they were, only watching with envy as those who dared to follow Buggy entered the cabin. Although Buggy hadn't restricted the number of people entering the cabin, everyone understood that the upcoming discussion in the cabin was not something everyone was entitled to know!

The cake is only so big; the more people who go in, the smaller the share for each person!

Figures like Bullet and Blackbeard certainly wouldn't let just anyone take their share of the benefits!

Entering without the necessary strength would be akin to seeking one's own demise!

Of course, there were exceptions. For example, Mr. 3 and members of Blackbeard's crew like Burgess, although not particularly strong, were considered eligible due to their close ties with Buggy and Blackbeard.

In the end, even counting Mr. 3 and the others, the number of people who followed Buggy into the cabin was fewer than twenty!

The rest understood their own limitations and preferred to stay behind, hoping to benefit from the aftermath when the big shots were done with the main course.
