Chapter 230: Black Pearls Are All Monsters!

—•—|Rifan Live Broadcast Chat Room|—•—

[Damn it, what's the situation?" Just as the screen turned brighter, I saw Brother Rifan being hit by Hancock's devil fruit!]

[Eagle Audience: Great, that bastard Rifan is going to be turned into stone!]

[Green Pheasant Audience: Hahaha, this is really the best news I have seen this year.]

[Chollima Audience: Could it be that Rifan is about to perish in this place?!]

[How is it possible? Open your eyes wide and take a good look; our Brother Fan is perfectly fine!]

[Take a good look, you idiots! Although Brother Rifan was hit by the light, there's no sign of him being petrified at all!]

[Eagle Audience: How is it possible? I clearly saw that Rifan was hit. Could it be that he escaped?]

[There is a possibility that our Brother Rifan is strong-willed and not charmed by Hancock!]

[Green Pheasant Audience: How is it possible? Hancock's charm is overflowing across the screen. How can that man Rifan not be charmed? That man obviously likes beautiful women!]

[Hehe, so what if he likes beauties? Which man doesn't love beauties? It's normal for Brother Rifan to like beauties, but it doesn't mean he'll be easily charmed.]

—•—One Piece Dungeon World—•—

"Is this Mero Mero Mellow? It looks pretty," Rifan stroked his chin and said with great interest.

He wasn't affected by Hancock's charm. Because before he came here, he had already ingested a pill containing the 'secret medicine, Fishwort Hell.'

When Hancock's power struck, Rifan bit the pill into pieces, and the extremely bitter medicine inside diverted Rifan's attention. Naturally, Hancock's ability had no effect on Rifan.

"You...how is it possible? Why is my ability ineffective?!" Hancock widened her beautiful eyes and looked at Rifan in shock.

Mikita was a woman, and Hancock was only amazed that her charms didn't affect her. But Rifan as a man also avoided being petrified by her devil fruit ability! This, of course, shocked Hancock to the extreme!

"Who knows, maybe my endurance is quite strong~"

"Speaking of which, I'm helping you guys. After all, what's behind your sister isn't convenient for other people to see. Under such circumstances, you're still attacking me. Isn't that a bit too much?" Rifan patted the back of Marigold, who was wrapped in a ball by the sail, and said to Hancock with a smile on his face.

As soon as Rifan finished speaking, the elite pirates of the Nine Snake Pirates were immediately shocked. And the faces of the three sisters flashed with complex emotions mixed with gloom and fear.

The Hydra Pirates' elite pirates were surprised that Rifan might have seen the "curse" behind Marigold but was not petrified.

The three Hancock sisters were worried that Rifan might have actually seen the 'The Hoof of the Celestial Dragon,' which represented the slave status of the Celestial Dragons, and that he might spread the matter.

"Damn it, you really saw it!"

Moments later, Hancock was overwhelmed with worry and fear. Regardless of whether Rifan would be charmed by her charm, she once again used her Mero Mero Mellow ability.

However, it was the same as last time. When Mero Mero Mellow attacked Rifan again, Rifan once again used his secret medicine to resist it. Although the secret medicine was extremely bitter, Rifan, who often tried new medicines, could keep his composure after taking it.

"Hey, why bother? Your ability has no effect on me. You should understand this~"

"Compared to this, shouldn't we have a good talk? Maybe our relationship doesn't need to be so tense."

Rifan shook his head and glanced at Leigh on the deck who had fallen asleep due to the Conqueror's Haki contest. Leigh was one of the top 100 reincarnations, but she hadn't received the same rewards as Ada from Rifan.

Facing the double impact of Mikita and Hancock's Conqueror's Haki, she couldn't regain consciousness.

"Hateful man, I have nothing to talk to you about!" Hancock scolded angrily. She kicked her feet hard on the ground and sent a Perfume Femur flying towards Rifan at high speed.

The fear brought about by the exposure of the "Mark" made her forget about the potential difference in strength between her and Rifan, the Nine Snake Pirates, and the Black Pearl Pirates. Now, she just wanted to petrify Rifan completely to prevent the secrets of the three sisters from being exposed.

Faced with Hancock's powerful attack, Rifan shook his head and blocked Hancock's kick with his right fist. With a muffled sound, the black-red light exploded instantly, and the powerful oppressive force scattered around Rifan as the center.

"I haven't even touched it yet; what kind of haki is this!?" Hancock frowned, looking solemnly at the few centimeters between Rifan's fist and her ankle.

"Dark Water!"

Just as Hancock was distracted by Rifan's Conqueror's Haki, Rifan raised his hand, with darkness in his arm, he seized Hancock's neck.

Due to Mikita's drain on Hancock's stamina and the distraction of the "Mark" incident, Hancock had no time to react. She was held by Rifan's hand around her neck, losing control of her Devil Fruit power.

"Although the battle with you isn't my intention, if showing my strength can make you more honest, then I can only use a little bit of violence against you," Rifan said as he lifted Hancock by her neck. He clenched his right fist, using both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, and struck Hancock's neck with precision.

Rifan's precise control of power and the impact of Conqueror's Haki on Hancock's spirit made her fall unconscious.

[Rifan, congratulations on defeating the Shichibukai Empress Boa·Hancock, special reward 'Paramecia Devil Fruit Awakening Scroll'!]

[Remarks: Every time you defeat a Shichibukai, you can get corresponding rewards.]

[Remarks: If you defeat the Seven Shichibukai, you will receive rich rewards.]

—•—|Rifan Live Broadcast Chat Room|—•—

[As expected of Brother Rifan, he easily did what we couldn't!]

[Eagle Audience: This guy, is he really not affected by Hancock's charm? Did he attack Hancock so simply?]

[Camel Audience: I think this guy just wants to knock the Empress unconscious, and then turn the Empress into his own slave... The Nine Snake Pirates still have so many beautiful women; damn it, this guy is a lucky bastard!]

[Why did I hear voices of envy, jealousy, and hatred?]

[Don't pay attention to that pickle man; he has no control over what Brother Rifan wants to do. What I care about now is whether there will be any rewards after Brother Rifan defeats Hancock.]

[There should be; defeating a Shichibukai should be like finding the historical text stele, and it should allow Brother Rifan to get excellent rewards.]

[Unfortunately, apart from the announcements made by the entire server, we have no way to see the specific rewards that Brother Rifan received.]

Rifan naturally didn't know what the Blue Star viewer was talking about.

After seeing Ayane, Ada Wong, Leigh, and others, Rifan understood that the planet he passed through was different from his previous world. He also understood that these people hidden in the inner world must have some powerful individuals. But before returning from the dungeon world, Rifan didn't have time to pay attention to them. Now his attention is on the Nine Snake Pirates and the reward he just received.

It's the same as the reward for defeating Crocodile last time.

In this way, Chopper's Munch-Munch Fruit can also be awakened. 'I hope that after awakening, Chopper can gain strong fighting abilities. And with Crocodile and Hancock, in this way, I have defeated two Shichibukai.'

'Excellent rewards for defeating seven Shichibukai… I hope that the copy space will provide enough generous rewards by then.'

But Rifan suddenly couldn't help thinking seriously when he thought of Mihawk, the world's number one swordsman in Shichibukai who could fight against Four Emperors red-haired Shanks. Among Shichibukai, Rifan is confident that he can defeat the other six and receive rewards. But Rifan isn't sure about Hawkeye, who can crush the meteorite summoned by Fujitora with a flat A slash.

Because defeating Shichibukai can be rewarded. When Rifan met Hancock, he was actually ready to fight and defeat her. In Rifan's mind, he was the one who first looked for an opportunity to talk to Hancock. After that, defeat Hancock in the name of a competition to get a reward, instead of defeating her in the current situation that seems to be a life-and-death struggle.

But now that the situation has reached this level, he doesn't mind knocking out Hancock directly. Of course, his behavior also made the other pirates of the Nine Snake Pirates very angry.

"Damn man, return Snake-hime to us!"

"Sister! What did you bastard do to our sister!?"

"Everyone, attack him, snatch Snake-Hime from his grasp!"

A group of fighters of the Nine Snake Pirates rushed towards Rifan angrily.

However, at the next moment, a vigorous aura exploded from Rifan's side, directly overwhelming the Nine Snake Pirates, making them unable to move.

"This... this is Conqueror's Haki!?"

"It is even stronger than that woman, Mikita!"

"Are all the Black Pearl Pirates monsters?!"

Sandersonia knelt on the ground with both legs, and raised her head with difficulty to look at Rifan who was exuding a terrifying aura.

Then, she forced herself to look at the rest of the Nine Snake Pirates, and found that they, like herself, were also unable to act under the influence of Rifan's Conqueror's Haki.

Such a scene made Sandersonia desperate.

Fortunately, Rifan did not continue to exert Conqueror's Haki for too long. Seeing that everyone had stopped, Rifan also put away his Haki.

"Don't worry, your Captain is fine. I just saw that she was too excited, so I let her fall asleep temporarily. I don't have any malice in keeping her; I just want to talk to her."

"Over there, you are Hancock's sister Sandersonia right? Come and take Hancock and Marigold to your cabin."

As Rifan said, he took the initiative to walk to Sandersonia's side and handed Hancock into her hands.

Although Sandersonia was puzzled by Rifan's actions, she, who cared about Hancock, couldn't wait to confirm Hancock's situation.

"Sister, are you okay? Sister, wake up quickly. Where is the doctor? Come here quickly."

Sandersonia shook Hancock in her arms, and at the same time shouted loudly to the people of the Kuja Pirates behind her.

"That, Sandersonia-sama. The doctor has also passed out."

"What? Passed out?"

Sandersonia's brow furrowed even further. Just when she was thinking about what to do, a coughing sound suddenly came from her arms.

"Sister, are you awake?!"

Sandersonia turned her head in surprise, and looked at Hancock who slowly opened her eyes in her arms.
