Although Hancock was unforgiving with her words, the cold sweat on her forehead exposed her nervous inner state.
After all, she was facing one of the strongest people on the entire sea.
Although she was confident that she could reach the same or even a higher height in the future.
But now...
It was absolutely the greatest crisis in history!
If it were just her alone, Hancock was actually confident in running away.
But in her hands, there was a half-dead Weevil who only had a stupid mouth left making "aba aba" sounds.
This made it very difficult to handle!
And behind Kaido, there was that overwhelming combined fleet...
The corners of her mouth twitched, and her body began to accumulate power, ready to fight to the death.
"It seems you don't intend to hand Weevil over to me." Kaido looked at Hancock's stance and nodded, "Just as I expected, a genius like you would not compromise."
"No, of course, I would compromise, but that is only when facing someone respected... that I would do so." Hancock smiled, the makeup used for disguise on her face had completely fallen off during the rapid escape just now, revealing the face known as the "World's Most Beautiful Woman" in its entirety,
"But as for you... sorry, Kaido, whether it's a gorilla or a dragon or whatever... you are really not my type."
After speaking, she threw Weevil violently toward the distant sky.
The half-dead Weevil could only emit a weak "Oh oh oh oh" sound as he flew into the distance.
And using this rotational force, the momentum Hancock had just accumulated exploded instantly.
It was the same move, the same Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
But the difference was, this time Hancock did not choose a large-area impact shockwave.
Instead, she tried her best to condense the shockwave onto a single point.
Kaido's eyes widened suddenly.
Just now, the distance was so far that he didn't have a concrete feeling.
Now...
Sure enough! It was the taste of Conqueror's!
Instantly, he was delighted upon seeing prey.
So he also extended his dragon claw without hesitation.
Extremely tyrannical Conqueror's surged out.
The same Conqueror's Haki Infusion blocked Hancock's swift and violent attack.
Instantly, the collision of Conqueror's sent black lightning flying wildly.
It was just that...
Hancock was still young after all, and whether it was personal strength or the application of Conqueror's, she had not yet reached Kaido's level.
Although the sky was still torn apart, anyone with a discerning eye could see...
Hancock had fallen into a disadvantage.
Blackbeard and the others were on the ship, looking up at the battle in mid-air.
The collision of Conqueror's, even for them, was a rare grand sight.
Under this collision, she was no match for Kaido; a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out violently, and she was sent flying directly.
But before being blown away, Hancock's hands made a heart-shaped gesture toward Kaido.
This was her killing move hidden behind the Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
Kaido might be a powerhouse with terrifyingly firm willpower, but he was also a person who prioritized desire; such a formidable hero could not be without desires or wants...
Even if he wouldn't be affected, he would definitely have lustful thoughts toward her.
Instantly, Kaido's entire dragon body began to petrify...
And Hancock used the force of being blown away to step out Geppo, speeding through the air toward Weevil who had been thrown into the distance.
While fleeing, she laughed loudly:
"Oh ho ho ho! Kaido! This is my escape route!"
"As for this mouthful of blood, sooner or later, I will personally claim it back from you!"
As soon as the voice fell, Hancock had already caught Weevil in a place quite far away and continued to flee toward Wano Country.
Everything happened in a flash, vividly reflecting Hancock's combat intelligence; the goal was always to escape, not to fight like a trapped beast.
"N-next time, can you remind me first?" Weevil, with a pale face, sniffed the eternal crystal pendant on his nose, "I felt like I almost saw Heaven just now."
"That was all an illusion." Hancock wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth; a smear of blood red and that face formed a stunningly strange landscape, "Besides, even if I could tell you in a split second, would you understand?"
"That's true too."
The exchange between the two hostages continued, but from the distance behind them came the sounds of wind and thunder.
Hancock looked back, the smile on her lips vanishing.
Although she didn't think her attack could control Kaido for long... this was a bit too fast!
But this distance... was far enough.
Even if Kaido wanted to catch up with her, she was already extremely close to Wano Country.
So she didn't think much more and continued to flee rapidly.
And Kaido...
Was really a bit angry.
Clearly an existence weaker than himself, yet in that instant just now, she had played him in the palm of her hand.
He could not accept it.
So he circled into the air and continued the pursuit.
Hancock and Weevil had really gotten to his head.
The fleet behind him did not have any problems.
Instead, under Blackbeard's command, as if ignoring the chase in the sky, they continued to advance, preparing to complete their mission.
But...
Kaido's speed was far faster than the fleet.
So after the distance opened up between the fleet and Kaido...
...
Above the clouds, there was a movement.
An island cloud, wrapped in sand and smoke, drifted mightily toward Kaido's combined fleet.
And just when no one was paying attention, countless lightning bolts as thick as water buckets covered the entire sea surface.
Mixed within were sharp knives made of iron clouds...
Truly, it was raining knives from the sky.
The smoke and sand also completely obscured the road ahead.
At this time, even the stupidest guy could see that this was an offensive by Devil Fruit users.
Blackbeard could naturally see it.
But what confused him for a short time was...
Why did four Logia Devil Fruit users suddenly pop out?
And it wasn't just Blackbeard who was dumbfounded; Red the Aloof and Douglas Bullet, these ruthless men, were also dumbfounded.
In their era, there weren't really any natural disaster-level Logia powerhouses, so their knowledge was limited.
"Sorry... here, it's a one-way road."
A husky mature female voice descended from the sky.
Behind Crocodile, carrying two hurricane-shaped "wings", she revealed her true form amidst the wind and sand.
"I feel like you copied someone's line..."
"Lines belong to whoever says them first."
Beside her, Stella and Smoker also condensed into human forms one after another.
"Yawn... Can you guys bring me some fun? Pirates."
Lightning flashed, and the Thunder God Enel descended to the mortal world.
And not far away...
The Seraphim, flying no flag, carried everyone from the SWORD Secret Special Force except for the four major Logia users.
"Hey, are we really going to charge directly into the entire fleet with one ship? Even for us, this is a bit too crazy!"
Shu looked at the mighty fleet in the distance and wiped a handful of sweat.
Only to see Jack let out a cold snort.
"Who do you think we are!"
"Bring the ship closer!"
