Surrounded by countless pirates, Miss Buckingham Stussy resembled a breathtaking courtesan, causing large numbers of pirates to fall beneath her charms.
Stussy slightly raised her head toward the skull eye socket and saw Rocks and the other officers standing beneath the lights, revealing a faintly confident smile.
Scientific research was her talent, while creating hype and building attention was her hobby.
She had long since studied men thoroughly!
She refused to believe men like Rocks and Ignis wouldn't fall beneath her skirt.
Strong men loved conquest!
At this moment, she had already become the absolute center of attention for tens of thousands.
If this still couldn't trigger those stinking men's desire to conquer her,
Then nothing would.
Having the Rocks Pirates actively seek her out was far safer than proactively joining them herself.
She definitely didn't want to get slashed by Rocks like Ganzui did.
The surrounding pirates were already growing restless. If Elysium Island hadn't been the territory of the Rocks Pirates, they would have directly abducted this great beauty already.
....
Inside the Chibaku Tensei skull eye.
"So this is the future scientist of the Rocks Pirates?"
"She's a fraud?"
Rocks never expected this gorgeous woman to be one of his future officers.
With that appearance, she looked nothing like a scientist!
She looked more like a courtesan!
This caused Rocks to seriously reconsider whether he even wanted to recruit this scientific bandit.
Even if she was destined to become one of the Rocks Pirates' officers, Rocks wasn't necessarily going to follow Ignis's predicted future completely.
After all, they had already killed Wang Zhi, who was originally one of those destined officers.
"A future officer?"
"Can Ignis really predict the future?"
Ganzui narrowed his eyes.
'If that was true, then did Ignis already foresee my thoughts of competing for the vice captain position?'
If so, then things seemed rather dangerous for him.
A chill suddenly ran down his spine.
He felt like he finally understood Shiki's encouragement, along with the teasing expressions from Barbel and the others.
'Damn it!'
'I had almost fallen into Shiki's trap!'
'Looks like I needed to keep a lower profile from now on.'
He also finally understood why the troublemaker Kyo was constantly being targeted and mocked by the other officers.
That bastard Shiki truly harbored ill intentions.
He definitely needed to guard against that guy in the future.
Fortunately, years of smuggling business across countless seas had sharpened his mind. He had weathered every kind of storm imaginable.
He wasn't a brute like Kyo who got toyed with in Shiki's palm.
"Bahahaha! Vice Captain already sees all of your futures clearly."
Barbel teasingly glanced at Ganzui.
Looks like this sly smuggler was far smarter than Kyo, realizing the situation so quickly.
"..."
Ganzui laughed awkwardly while silently glancing toward Shiki.
That guy's "support" was probably just an attempt to turn him into the next Kyo, a living joke for everyone to target.
...
"How strong is she?"
Rocks narrowed his tiger-like eyes slightly. His crew had no need for decorative vases.
If this scientific bandit truly was just a fraud, he wouldn't mind eliminating another "destined officer."
"Her strength should be decent, I guess."
Even Ignis didn't know exactly how strong Stussy was.
However, she had become one of the original six officers of the Rocks Pirates.
She was even one of the three officers, alongside Golden Lion and Whitebeard, who accompanied Rocks in searching for Harald.
Her strength should be fairly impressive.
Otherwise, she would have died long ago from the aftershocks of battle.
Stussy also frequently quarreled with Gloriosa, so the two were probably similarly matched.
Even Stussy's clone could become a CP0 agent and Queen of the Pleasure District, so the original body's talent certainly wouldn't be poor.
"Linlin! Test her strength!"
Rocks didn't let the men make the move. Guys like Shiki and Gill Bastar would probably hold back, while Newgate and Kyo disdained fighting women.
"Stop ordering me around!"
Charlotte Linlin protested again. Why did they always make her fight? Ignis and Shiki could fly too!
"I'll do it."
Ignis revealed an evil smile. After suffering for three years, it was finally time to reward his brothers a little.
As an old saying often taught: having no women in your heart didn't mean having no women around you.
He wasn't like Great Love Immortal Venerable, who coldly slaughtered beauties like cats and dogs.
"You brat..."
Rocks raised an eyebrow. 'Was this bastard planning to go easy on her?'
"Everyone, allow me to show you what true style looks like!"
Ignis floated outward and calmly smiled back at these brutes.
"Divine Body Phenomenon: Moon Rising Over the Sea!"
A silver moon materialized behind Ignis as he stepped barefoot into the sky with silver hair flowing, his white wolf cloak fluttering in the wind.
Every step Ignis took through the air caused ripples of moonlight to spread beneath his feet, as though space itself had become solid.
"AAAAHHHH!!"
"It's Lord Ignis!!"
As Ignis made his magnificent appearance, countless female pirates instantly screamed wildly.
What they saw was even more handsome and majestic than the photographs.
Countless female pirates and reporters pulled out photo-den den mushi and frantically took pictures, desperate to immortalize this scene forever.
"Damn it! Does he really have to show off this much?!"
Watching Ignis descend like a god, Rocks immediately cursed in annoyance.
So what if he had a few extra Devil Fruit abilities? What was there to show off about?!
Shiki and Kyo also felt mentally shattered.
How were they supposed to pick up women after this?
Meanwhile, Gill furiously took notes, already planning to imitate Ignis's entrance style in the future.
Perhaps he could develop a full-moon-shaped ghost using his Ghost Fruit ability.
He wanted this kind of divine aura too!
At this moment, even the elegantly dressed Stussy was stunned by Ignis's godlike appearance.
Before the divine Ignis, she suddenly felt like an ordinary vulgar girl.
"Miss Buckingham Stussy, are you prepared to face my test?"
As Ignis walked through the sky, the glowing moon phenomenon behind him radiated silver light while crescent-shaped slashes formed in the air.
The sharp aura emanating from those moonlight blades proved that this moon wasn't merely decorative.
"A test?"
Stussy's pupils trembled violently.
Not only did Ignis know her full name, but he was actually planning to attack her?
But she had never intended to fight the Rocks Pirates.
Originally, she wanted to rely on beauty...
However, after seeing Ignis, who was even more "beautiful" than herself, Stussy felt utterly helpless.
Instead of attracting Ignis, she herself had become entranced by Ignis's divine appearance...
Countless dense crescent slashes mercilessly descended upon Stussy.
Stussy instantly flung away her extravagant robes and transformed into a blur, vanishing from her original position with a high-speed movement technique similar to the Rokushiki's Soru.
The nearby pirates scattered in panic upon seeing Ignis attack, fleeing far away from the dangerous battlefield.
"AAAHHH~! Even Lord Ignis's combat style is so handsome and elegant!"
"Lord Ignis! I love you! I want to become your personal maid~"
"We're rich, we're rich! We captured so many photos! Hurry and sell them to the newspapers and the female Celestial Dragons!"
Countless female pirates and special reporters had gone completely mad.
After waiting for many days, they had finally witnessed Ignis, the 4-Billion Supreme Grade Incubus!
