Vol. 05 Ch. 51 – Hancock Vs Law+Bepo

Arthur: "[Copy Art: Ice Age]"

Robin: "Although it's different from Admiral Aokiji, you can get the same result by creating a liquid that quickly freezes seawater."

Hancock: "Not bad, with this we have room to fight."

Monet: "My body is all stiff, your mother doesn't allow us to practice."

Earlier, right after they had passed through the Calm Belt and arrived at North Blue, Arthur's three wives asked to find an uninhabited island to train. After almost a year at Mary Geoise, the three of them were unable to train their bodies freely even though they could still do light exercises after receiving Maria's permission.

When they want to go against Maria's will, they experience Maria's mysterious devil fruit ability. The three of them felt that there were many invisible "hands" holding their bodies from moving. No matter how hard they tried, they could not let go of Maria's grasp of power. Robin used her devil fruit ability to attack Maria but it did not affect her at all. Hancock tries to turn into an intangible but still can't escape as if the invisible "hand" was using Busoshoku Haki. Even Monet, who wanted to teleport with his devil fruit power, failed to escape.

That way, they didn't try again because if Maria was serious then nothing could stop her, and neither did Arthur. The cloud from the Art-Art Fruit he created wasn't fast enough to knock down all the "hands" Maria was constantly creating. Attacking Maria immediately was still blocked by the "hands". Arthur immediately remembered the nickname the marine gave Maria when she was active as a pirate, "White Witch - Maria".

Returning to some time before, in Athena, after arriving in North Blue.

Hancock: "Arthur, I want to find an uninhabited island to practice fighting. My body feels stiff after almost a year of living in your house. " Hancock suddenly breaks in while Arthur is conferring with Monet about the island location to plant their agent.

Arthur: "I thought you would wait until tomorrow to ask for this. I do not mind this, I know for sure you, Monet, and Robin also want the same thing. " Arthur sighed and put the map of North Blue back in its place.

Monet: "Hehehe, you know that. I want to try the Dog-Dog Fruit Model: Nine-Tailed Fox ability that you secretly give behind your mother. "

Arthur: "Wait a minute, I'll make a place for you to fight."

Arthur immediately went outside and stretched his hand out over the seawater. Robin who was busy reading the picture book to Merlin on the deck turned her attention to watching Arthur's power show. With the frozen seawater with Athena as the center, it stopped Athena's advance suddenly and caused panic among the other members who didn't know what was happening. After they got out and stood on the deck, they were surprised to see the frozen sea around them.

Arthoria, Lancelot, and Merlin are guarded by Arthur, Ikaros, and Nymph while the others do sparring. Baby-5 stands guard in case someone suddenly gets serious injuries or needs help. This time Hancock tries to fight Law and Bepo, then Robin will fight Sabo and Koala, and the rest, Kuina and Sugar will fight Monet.

Hancock: "Show me the results of your training together. Law! Bepo! " Sparks of lightning could be seen from Hancock's body who was getting more proficient with the use of her devil fruit.

Law: "Bepo, don't be afraid to attack, I'll help you from a distance. [Room] "Law is also preparing by bringing up his [Room] which is wider in scope than it was a year ago.

Bepo: "Aye!" Bepo also looks similar to Hancock who emits electric sparks around his hands.

Hancock: "Hoo… Your [Room] is getting bigger, Law. And Bepo can use [Electro] now. " Hancock smiled a little seeing what Law and Bepo showed.

Law: "[Shambles]." With his ability to manipulate anything inside the [Room], Law moved Bepo behind Hancock with [Shambles].

Bepo: "Aiya!" Bepo with his [Electro] and coupled with Busoshoku Haki which made his black right hand launch his punch at Hancock.

Hancock: "[Storm Femur]"

* Boom!

Hancock spun quickly and gave a kick to Bepo's arm, creating a loud sound as the result of the meeting of the two attacks. Hancock wants to train her body skills along with Haki as a warm-up. The close combat between Hancock and Bepo continued, when Bepo was unable to avoid Hancock's attack, Law used [Shambles] again to move Bepo's location. Sometimes Law also uses his ability to attack from a distance to help Bepo.

Law: "[Injection Shot]." This combined technique between [Shigan] and Law's Ope Ope Fruit can still be deflected by Hancock with her Kenbunshoku Haki.

Hancock: "[Rain Pistol]" Two techniques meet and get a draw even though Hancock has coated his water droplets with Busoshoku Haki.

Arthur: "They're getting stronger." Arthur commented from a distance while carrying Arthoria who was sleeping.

Baby-5: "Of course, they have to get stronger to be able to compete on the Grand Line. Ugh ... Arthoria is cute sleeping in your arms, Arthur. " Baby-5's attention was a little distracted when she saw Arthoria in Arthur's arms.

Arthur: "If it weren't for Nymph's ability to manipulate sound then she would have awakened with all this noise. Thank you, Nymph. "

Nymph: "This is not a problem, Master." Nymph answered Arthur while turning the page of the book that Merlin saw.

Meanwhile, Ikaros was running on the deck with a very worried face behind Lancelot. Lancelot crawled to and fro on the deck when he nearly fell off the edge of the deck of the ship so Ikaros carried him back to the middle of the deck. Lancelot also often annoys Merlin by grabbing Merlin's book or playing by quickly flipping every page, Ikaros again takes Lancelot away and separates from Merlin who looks annoyed back to the middle of the deck. But Lancelot doesn't dare to bother Arthoria after getting hit by Arthoria when he tries to tease Arthoria.

Hancock: "I'll be more serious, so, if there's a technique you guys are still hiding then you better use it." Hancock created wings and flew into the air making Bepo and Law even more difficult.

Bepo: "Law, do you have any ideas?" Bepo jumped back right beside Law to make a plan.

Law: "The [Radio Knife] that I created with [Electro] inspiration did not affect her. [Injection Shot] Although strong enough but not fast enough to avoid her Kenbunshoku Haki. You're not strong enough to fight her either. Our only chance is with my [Mes] but I need the right opportunity when she let her guard down. " Law knows that they still can't fight against Hancock's full strength, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

Bepo: "So what should I do?" After all that Law has said, Bepo still needs to ask again what his job is.

Law: "Keep on attacking without stopping."

Bepo: "Aye! [Geppo] " Finally Bepo started to move after hearing Law's short sentence but Law also moved towards Hancock who was leisurely floating in the air.

Hancock: "Come on! Show the best of you! "
