Lancelot's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes narrowed.
It had to be said, Jewelry Bonney's appearance was quite striking.
Then, a cold glint flashed in Lancelot's eyes—he had already made his decision.
But just at that moment, more people appeared in Lancelot's line of sight.
This time, there were three of them, approaching from different directions. The one in the middle wore a fluffy winter hat with leopard spots, had distinct dark circles under his eyes, two small golden earrings on each ear, and a beard on his chin.
The one on the left had a tall and robust physique, with wings on his back characteristic of the Skypieans.
Whether in battle or showing surprise, he always wore a smile, with tattoos on his upper arms.
He had a scar on his left forehead, a full beard, golden earrings, and large red prayer beads. He typically dressed in monk's attire.
The one on the right had spiky red hair, black sunglasses perched on his head, fierce eyes, no eyebrows, and wore an open black jacket with a dark red coat over it.
A metal bracelet adorned his left wrist, and he carried a dagger and a pistol at his waist, with black boots on his feet.
'Tsk, tsk!'
Seeing these three, a smile reappeared on Lancelot's face.
Because these three were the remaining Supernovas: Trafalgar Law, Urouge, and Eustass Kid.
"This..."
When Lancelot's gaze met theirs, an odd feeling surged in his heart.
After all, these guys represented an era in the world of pirates.
At the same time, the other side clearly noticed Lancelot and Basil Hawkins beside him.
However, to everyone's surprise, their gazes merely lingered on Basil Hawkins for a brief moment before being drawn like magnets, unanimously locking onto Lancelot.
The reason was simple: the Navy Justice cloak draped over Lancelot's shoulders was far too conspicuous.
It fluttered and snapped in the wind like a banner symbolizing authority and power.
Meanwhile, Trafalgar Law, Urouge, and Eustass Kid, standing not far away, exchanged glances.
In each other's eyes, they could read profound shock and astonishment.
Although the area had been reduced to ruins, the remnants of broken walls and debris still faintly revealed traces of its former prosperity.
The once-bustling streets now lay in devastation, with shattered bricks and rubble piled like mountains, while dust and smoke hung thick in the air.
The scene was truly horrifying to behold.
Clearly, this place had just endured a fierce battle. The scale and destructive power of this conflict far exceeded their imaginations.
What kind of enemy could have caused such immense devastation?
Or rather, what kind of earth-shaking events had unfolded here?
These questions swarmed in their minds, plunging everyone present into deep contemplation.
Simultaneously, a sense of dread welled up within them, causing their bodies to tremble.
They stared wide-eyed at the disfigured landscape before them, unable to fathom what kind of existence could wield such terrifying destructive power.
If there was anyone among them who understood the Navy best, it was undoubtedly Jewelry Bonney.
At this moment, her face shifted colors like a chameleon.
Especially when she noticed the way Lancelot had just looked at her, she instantly turned pale with fright.
Lancelot's gaze was cold, brimming with killing intent, as if a single thought from him could end her life.
This sensation sent chills down Jewelry Bonney's spine, cold sweat trickling down her forehead.
After all, she had already recognized who this Navy officer standing beside Basil Hawkins was—he was the newly appointed Admiral Candidate, Lancelot!
That fearsome monster who had once fought evenly for an extended period against Kaido, the Emperor renowned across the Four Blues as the "Strongest Creature"!
Among the many Supernovas, only Jewelry Bonney could clearly recognize and properly assess her own position.
She deeply understood exactly what level her combat prowess occupied—neither inflated by arrogance nor diminished by unwarranted humility.
More crucially, unlike her peers who had become pirates driven by unrealistic dreams, Jewelry Bonney's reasons for choosing this path were different.
For her, the most urgent and vital matter was to ensure her own safe survival by any means necessary.
Only through this could she possibly succeed in rescuing her father from peril.
Thus, she cautiously began shifting backward, step by step, trying to avoid drawing anyone's attention.
However, heaven didn't grant her wish.
At that critical moment, Sanji actually noticed her movement.
His originally narrow eyes widened, blazing with fervent light as if two burning hearts were glowing within them.
Immediately, he shot forth like an arrow from a bow, charging straight toward Jewelry Bonney at breakneck speed.
It was clear that Sanji's innate perverted nature had been triggered at this moment!
"Whoosh..."
Lancelot, who had previously shifted his gaze elsewhere, turned his head upon hearing the sound.
He happened to witness Jewelry Bonney attempting to escape and the lovestruck Sanji pouncing on her like a hungry tiger.
Seeing this, Lancelot couldn't help but freeze momentarily as the corner of his eye twitching.
Meanwhile, Jewelry Bonney was already seething with rage internally, gritting her teeth as she thought, 'How detestable! Right now, I truly wish to unleash a massacre! I'm serious!'
With that, she glared fiercely at the approaching Sanji.
If looks could kill, Sanji would have already been torn to pieces and dismembered by now!
Startled by Jewelry Bonney's ferocious glare, Sanji came to an abrupt halt.
At the same time, Eustass Kid spotted Killer trapped under a collapsed wall in the ruins.
Half of Killer's body was visible, facing directly toward Eustass Kid's direction.
Thus, Eustass Kid saw him clearly.
"KILLER..."
Eustass Kid roared in fury.
That was his right-hand man, the second strongest combatant of his Pirate Crew.
To Eustass Kid, Killer was like Zoro to the Straw Hat Pirates in the original story.
