132: Chapter 131 Conqueror's Haki, Awakening!After dealing with the executioner Black Panther, Luffy glanced at Hancock provocatively, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips, as if implying, "If you're so capable, hurry up and undo Margaret's petrification!" This action thoroughly enraged Hancock.
Hancock raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Sandsonia, Marigold, go and teach this arrogant man a lesson!" The two sisters behind her moved at the sound of her voice, their eyes flashing with cold light, their tongues hissing as they walked down the platform, forming a pincer movement to tightly surround Luffy.
Just as the battle was about to erupt, Luffy suddenly shouted, "Hey, wait a minute!Let me put this down first." It turned out he still wanted to move Margaret's statue to a safe place.However, the two sisters didn't give him the chance.Their snake tails, as hard as steel, swept towards Luffy with overwhelming force!
Seeing this, Luffy quickly lifted the stone statue, nimbly dodging left and right.Although he had only known Margaret for a short time, his kind heart couldn't bear to see an innocent person suffer because of him.So, while carefully protecting the statue, he searched for an opportunity to counterattack.Finally, when the two sisters' attack showed an opening, Luffy leaped high into the air like an arrow.His right leg suddenly extended, and his rubber axe slashed down at Sandersonia with thunderous force!
Seeing this, Sandersonia originally tried to grab Luffy's outstretched leg with one hand, but when she truly felt the powerful Haki contained in Luffy's leg, she was shocked and immediately changed her strategy, switching from defense to offense, crossing her arms to try to block this fatal blow.
However, Luffy's attack was simply too powerful and unstoppable.Even with Sandersonia's full defense, she couldn't completely withstand it.With a loud bang, Sandersonia was forced back, staggering.Taking advantage of Marigold's distraction at Sandersonia, Luffy acted swiftly.He carefully placed Margaret's statue in a relatively safe corner below the stage.
Seeing this, Hancock on the stage was enraged.She shouted angrily, "Mary!Sonia!What are you doing?You're struggling so much with a man!"
With Mary's help, Sandarsonia struggled to her feet.Hearing her sister's question, Sonia quickly explained, "Sister, that's not how it is.We truly underestimated this man's strength.He not only knows Haki, but his mastery of it is even greater than ours!"
Upon hearing this news, Hancock's face was filled with shock.She hadn't expected this man to possess Haki.They had spent countless hours learning it, and Luffy was only a few years old.Had he started practicing Haki before he was even born?After Luffy put the statue back in its place, he returned to the stage.Seeing the two sisters staring at him with astonishment, Luffy waved his hand sheepishly, saying, "I know I'm cool, but don't look at me like that, it makes me embarrassed."
Three black lines appeared on the three women's faces.Why was this man so foul-mouthed?To end the battle quickly, two of the women activated their Devil Fruit abilities.The green-haired Sania transformed into a snake-man, her hair turning into eight giant snakes.Mary transformed into a King Cobra, simultaneously igniting her hair and transforming it into eight giant fire snakes: "Snake Hair Possession - Yamata no Orochi" * "Snake Hair Possession - Flame Serpent God"
Cheers erupted from the stage, everyone cheering for the two sisters to quickly defeat Luffy.The sisters, brimming with confidence, manipulated their hair to launch a relentless attack on Luffy.Although the giant snakes were woven from hair, their fangs were as hard as steel.Luffy dodged one attack, and seeing the stone shattered into pieces, he couldn't help but think, "If I got hit by that, I'd be covered in bruises, no, more like bruises all over the place." Seeing the sisters getting serious, Luffy decided to get serious too, even though he couldn't use his other abilities.
"Gear Second, Gum-Gum Jet Pistol!" Luffy, his body radiating energy, unleashed a powerful punch at Sania.Sania blocked it, but the sheer force of the blow startled her.Seeing her sister attacked, Mary immediately began spitting out venom.Luffy, lacking poison resistance, dared not take the hits head-on.He dodged and weaved around the arena, soon filling it with a purple haze."Damn it!Young man, you have no sportsmanship!I advise you to become a rat!" Luffy groaned, clutching his slightly dizzy head.The two sisters had been waiting for this opportunity.Their two snake tails lashed out at Luffy, nearly causing him to cough up blood despite his Armament Haki defense."Look!This is the statue you're supposed to protect!If you don't defeat us soon, we." "We can't guarantee the safety of this statue," the two sisters, having gained the upper hand, became even more reckless, especially Sania, who used her snake tail to entangle Margaret's statue.Seeing this, Luffy's anger flared."Hey, this is your fight with me, what does it have to do with her?" Luffy, fighting off his dizziness, questioned her, but Sania ignored him and continued toying with Margaret's statue.Seeing that Sania wouldn't listen, Luffy launched a fierce attack on her, but affected by the poisonous fog, all his attacks missed.Feeling bored, the two sisters bound Luffy.Sania decided to smash Margaret's statue in front of Luffy.As the statue drew closer to the ground, Luffy's anger grew, and finally, unable to bear it any longer, he roared, "I said stop it!""Not at all!"
An invisible aura erupted from Luffy, causing the two sisters closest to him to stare in disbelief, as did Hancock on the platform.When the aura subsided, Sania involuntarily released her snake tail, and Luffy, freed from its restraints, easily caught her.The spectators, still confused about what had happened, watched as people around them collapsed one by one.Soon, only Granny Newt remained in the stands, but she too was stunned by Luffy, muttering to herself, "Conqueror's Haki!Who is this man?"
"He possesses Conqueror's Haki, just like his sister," said Sania, a bead of cold sweat dripping from her forehead as she recovered.Mary nodded, too shocked to know what to say.Hancock, on the platform, bit her finger and looked at Luffy with a complicated expression."Congratulations, host, on successfully awakening Conqueror's Haki.All your abilities are now unlocked!
