"Don't worry, it's fine."
Shano was unconcerned, "As for your mom, hide behind my back and close your eyes. With my body as a shield, this kind of little girl's trick won't affect you in any way."
No response came from behind.
He paused, instinctively turned his head to look.
Only to see Belle-Mere already clasping her cheeks, with heart-filled eyes, gazing at Hancock in complete enchantment:
"Oh my, oh my~ No way, seeing her up close, this girl is so adorable even when she's angry! Shano, I definitely want to stick to my original thought, I want this daughter-in-law!"
Shano: "..."
He sighed helplessly, no choice, after all, his mom is a regular person; unable to resist the Empress's charm is normal.
"When your head retracted, otherwise you'd be petrified."
He casually pushed his mom's protruding head back, turned to face the incoming pink beam, and didn't even bother to dodge.
"Bang!"
The Sweet Breeze struck Shano, instantly like a drop of water hitting the ocean, not even a ripple arose.
"Hmm?"
Hancock's pupils shrank, her red lips slightly parted, revealing a rare hint of astonishment.
"How is it possible?!"
Her ability actually failed?!
This man before her, who looked so ordinary... had absolutely no reaction to her charm?!
Meanwhile, Shano coldly looked at her, anger rising in his heart.
She had actively accelerated to crash into him, considering she was part of the positive faction, he didn't really mind and just let the sea serpent turn around.
Yet, she even felt offended by this, and without a word, directly attacked?
Did she really think he was so easygoing, without a temper?
"Riding a bike for several days, just right to move around a bit."
He twisted his neck, causing a crackling sound like exploding beans, "Mom, stay here and sit tight, I'll go up for a while, be back soon?"
"Eh?"
Belle-Mere still held her chin, completely immersed in the Empress's beauty, hearing this, she was stunned, turned her bewildered head, "What are you going to do?"
No answer came.
After uttering that sentence, Shano's figure suddenly flashed, disappearing from where he stood.
Swoosh!
Hancock felt her vision blur, and the next second, a dark silhouette appeared before her!
"What?!"
She didn't even have time to react before Shano's right foot, entwined with the dense black Armament Haki, kicked toward her waist and abdomen!
Boom!
A terrifying shockwave exploded instantly, blasting a massive hole into the bow deck of the Perfume Snake, causing the entire ship to shake violently, warrior women screamed, stumbling left and right.
And Hancock herself, let out a muffled grunt, blasted into the depths of the ship's cabin!
"Snake Princess!!"
"Protect the lady, prepare for battle!"
The female warriors shouted in terror, drawing their weapons; some wanted to rush to rescue Hancock, while others surrounded Shano.
Shano looked at them indifferently and casually unleashed his Supreme King Haki again.
Buzz!
In an instant, all the female warriors fell to the ground, eyes rolled back like a harvested wheat wave.
"Cough cough..."
Hancock coughed violently, clutching her abdomen, struggling to climb from the ruins, wiping the blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
Such pain...
She raised her head, staring at the indifferent black-haired youth with gritted silver teeth, her exquisite face twisted slightly.
How dare he...
How dare he!!!
Since she became the Empress of Amazon Lily, it's the first time a man dared to be so brutally rude to her!
She must use all her strength to teach this bastard a harsh lesson!
Enduring the pain, she leaped from the ruins, her long legs tracing a graceful arc in the air, her shoe's tip aimed ferociously at Shano's temple!
"Fragrant Foot!"
This move is completely different from the Sweet Breeze.
Even those without affection in their hearts will still be petrified upon being struck, and inorganic materials like iron, stone, and swords will be affected alike.
But...
Haki!
Strong Haki, it's enough to supersede Fruit Ability!
Hancock's Haki is strong too, fully mastering Three-Colored Haki, in this area, she is steadily among the top of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
But that's all!
Compared to him, it's not worth mentioning!
Clap!
Shano didn't even lift his eyelids, casually raised his right hand, and accurately caught Hancock's ankle.
Under the strong Haki defense, this foot could not erode his body at all and couldn't budge an inch!
"What?!"
Hancock's pupils contracted; her proud kicking skill could be so easily caught?
"The force is decent enough, but the speed is indeed too slow."
Shano casually commented, then abruptly exerted force with his right hand, swinging Hancock's right leg along with her whole person, throwing her back and forth in the air, creating numerous arcs before slamming her onto the deck!
Boom!!!
The Perfume Snake violently trembled.
Hancock, struck till eyes sparkled stars, rolled over several times, crashing into the main mast.
The mast collapsed immediately, her golden snake-shaped earrings were also sent flying.
"Pfft!"
Hancock spat a mouthful of blood, trying desperately to stand, but a shadow suddenly loomed ahead.
At the next moment!
A powerful fist, entwined with black and red Inazuma, punched right into her face!
Bam!
The rampant shockwave shattered layer upon layer of the ship's side planks!
Under the pressure of the punch, Hancock's delicate face caved deeply, distorting and deforming, several broken teeth sprayed out from her mouth.
