Chapter 12

Xilan couldn't help but be taken aback by Boa Hancock's playfulness in the face of his anger. Her teasing demeanor sparked a mix of frustration and amusement within him.

"Hmph! Once I'm done dealing with that brat, I'll make you indulge in my greatness again," Xilan retorted angrily, feeling insulted by her remarks.

[𝗠𝗧𝗟 𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲: "𝗛𝗺𝗽𝗵, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗟𝗮𝗼𝘇𝗶 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲."]

Boa Hancock, equally offended, stomped her feet in frustration. The interaction between the two caught the attention of Straw Hat Luffy, who peered out curiously. Even though he quickly retreated, Xilan had already caught sight of him.

"Get out of there!" Xilan commanded.

Boom! The overwhelming aura of an ancient dragon surged forth, and his Conqueror's Haki, akin to divine punishment, manifested as black lightning that rained down upon the sky.

The tremendous pressure sent Boa Hancock flying through the air, crashing heavily into the ground. However, she felt no pain, but instead heard a cry from beneath her cloak.

"It hurts!"

Luffy crawled out from under Boa Hancock's robe, rubbing his sore back.

Damn, she had just used him as a cushion.

Staring at Xilan in disbelief, Luffy remarked, "This is strange. I'm made of rubber, so why am I feeling pain?"

Luffy was taken aback, as he usually didn't feel pain from normal attacks.

"This man is Marine Admiral Xilan, who stood at the pinnacle of the sea thirty or forty years ago," Boa Hancock whispered, her voice filled with fear.

"Monkey D. Luffy..." Xilan's gaze shifted to Luffy, a pleasant expression on his face. "Your grandfather and I were colleagues. We fought side by side in the past."

"He slept on the top bunk, I slept on the bottom, and that bastard Sengoku slept in the middle... Ah, the good old days," Xilan reminisced, sighing with nostalgia. His eyes then turned cold. "Sadly, everything from the past is gone forever."

"Even if you're Garp's grandson, I will arrest you now."

Xilan's eyes gleamed. Just capturing Luffy alone would bring a hefty ransom from Monkey D. Dragon.

Swish!

Boa Hancock swiftlymoved, shielding Luffy like a human shield.

"With me here, I won't let you have what you want!" Boa Hancock declared, her small face filled with determination.

Xilan clenched his fists, his voice turning icy. "Hancock, are you sure you're going against me because of this brat? You know my power."

"Of course I do, but..." Boa Hancock's mouth curled into a tantalizing smile. "My Lord, times have changed."

Whoosh!

In an instant, Boa Hancock closed in, her leg sweeping through the air, revealing a captivating sight under her skirt.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Xilan raised his arm to block the attack, but he had underestimated Boa Hancock. The explosive force from her leg pushed him back three feet.

Xilan glanced up, his expression filled with surprise as he looked at Boa Hancock. There was no denying that he had been careless, but her ability to push him back with a single kick was a testament to her significant progress.

"Mistake," Xilan muttered to himself, feeling secretly annoyed. When Boa Hancock was his mistress, he had not held back any secrets. He had taught her everything she needed to know, as well as things she didn't need to know.

That being said, the saying goes, "The disciples starve after the master dies," and the sayings were not wrong in their wisdom.

"It seems that I'll have to take care of you first before capturing that Straw Hat alive," Xilan exhaled deeply. His pupils sharpened as he spoke sternly, "Show me what you're capable of, Hancock."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A cocoon of red energy shot up into the sky, enveloping Xilan's entire body. It appeared as if he were immersed in a pool of blood, and suddenly, he vanished from sight.

"Could he be running away?" Luffy rubbed his head in confusion.

Boa Hancock gazed at the red cocoon for a moment before suddenly declaring, "He's about to emerge."

Just as she spoke, the bright red light dissipated, revealing Xilan encased in crimson armor. He had sharp claws on his limbs, a dragon-like head, and a mechanical tail behind him.

"What is that?" Luffy's eyes widened with admiration, and his mouth watered. "A steel dragon man? So cool!"

Boa Hancock turned her head to look at Luffy, her expression filled with disbelief. While others were out to capture him, he was still fixated on Xilan's appearance, was he stupid?

Boom Boom Boom!

After Xilan's transformation a shockwave was created, one that reverberated throughout the area. The ground shook as the force of the collision sent dust flying into the air, meanwhile the sky was all blood-red.

tick tock tick tock...

The resounding sound of the ticking clock reverberated in the air, creating a sense of mounting anticipation. Gradually, delicate droplets of sweat cascaded down from the temples, marking the physical exertion and heightened emotions in the atmosphere. Boa Hancock, having undergone a transformative change, was enveloped in an overwhelming surge of pressure, causing her to whisper introspectively, "Could this be the manifestation of the mythical creature known as the Sekiryuutei?"

"Are you prepared, Hancock?" Xilan uttered with an air of detached indifference, his voice carrying a weighty significance. "The enlightening session is about to commence."

In an effort to regain composure, Boa Hancock gingerly bit down on the tip of her tongue, experiencing a tingling sensation that served as a grounding force. Gathering her resolve, she addressed Xilan with a touch of defiance, "Old man, what remains of your bygone era… what?!"

In a swift burst of crimson radiance, Xilan descended upon Boa Hancock in an instant, his colossal hand closing into a mighty fist, aimed directly at her supple abdomen.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The velocity of the strike was astonishing, executed in one seamless motion. Caught off guard, Boa Hancock found herself unable to muster the strength to retaliate, forcefully propelled into the air by the sheer impact.

Rumble! 

The ground quaked beneath them, as a cloud of dust billowed into the sky, shrouding the scenery in a veil of obscurity. The exquisitely graceful figure, adored by countless men in their dreams, plummeted earthward with an ominous thud.

Entranced by the unfolding spectacle, Luffy momentarily disregarded Boa Hancock's earlier warning. Activating his third gear, he unleashed a colossal punch, reminiscent of a titan's devastating blow.

Xilan's eyes gleamed with unbridled disdain as he nonchalantly delivered a resounding slap, signifying his contemptuous dismissal of the situation.
