"If you don't want to be my enemy, then you have only one choice now, and that is to become my ally."
"ah?"
When Hancock heard this, his eyes suddenly trembled.
"You just said... that you want me to be yours..."
She couldn't help but cover her mouth, and did not say the last word "person". Instead, she stared at Maude, her heart beating uncontrollably faster.
At this moment, Hancock, who heard "be my ally" as "be my person", was filled with thoughts of the non-existent words spoken by Maude.
Maud was also stunned when she saw that Hancock's expression was turning towards that of a nymphomaniac.
He carefully recalled what he just said. There's nothing wrong with it, right
"I say, make you my ally."
"ah… "
Hancock once again heard this sentence as "let you be mine", and couldn't help but fell to the ground, muttering to himself: "Is this a confession..."
"???"
Maude suddenly had a question mark.
After just one minute of contact, he finally figured it out.
In the eyes of the world, the empress, who is as cold as an iceberg and makes it difficult for all men to approach her, is actually frighteningly simple in some aspects.
It’s no wonder that there are such nymphomaniacs in the original work.
"In a sense, this woman... is not so annoying."
Looking at Hancock who was in nympho mode, Maude shook her head slightly.
At this time, Jinbei and Baki, who were belatedly arriving, came to the scene from a passage.
Then, they saw the empress Hancock sitting in front of Maude with a shy look on her face, and they were stunned.
"What's happening here?"
Jinbei and Baki couldn't hide their surprise. They couldn't believe that such a look would appear on the face of the legendary cold empress Hancock.
Hancock was still immersed in Maude's overbearing confession and did not notice the arrival of Jinbe and Bucky.
Mod glanced at Jinbei and Bucky who came to the venue, and said calmly: "Let's go out directly."
Although the number of prisoners on the first and second floors was several times that of the other prison floors, the quality of the shadows was not worth Mod's time.
Moreover, the longer they stay in Impel Down City, the higher the pressure will be on their companions who are fighting fiercely with the navy.
After hearing Mod's words, Jinbei nodded slowly.
Bucky, on the other hand, couldn't hide his joy. He was going crazy thinking about escaping from Impel Down.
Before leaving, Jinbei glanced at Weibull, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and then looked at Hancock, who was immersed in deep fantasy and kept shaking his head and muttering to himself.
"Maud...what happened to her?"
Jinbei's eyes became a little weird, he looked away and turned his head to look at Maude beside him.
Maude was silent for a moment, not knowing how to explain.
"In short, she is one of our own."
"oh?"
Jinbei raised his eyebrows and said with emotion: "For us who are short of 'combat power', this is really good news."
As a former Shichibukai, he is very aware of the strength of Hancock, who is also a Shichibukai.
In such a situation surrounded by powerful enemies, having such a strong reinforcement join the team can be described as a timely help.
Maud nodded to Jinbei.
Given their current situation, the addition of Hancock would indeed bring immeasurable combat value.
... ... .
While Maud was promoting the chaos inside the city, he was also promoting the battle outside the city, which gradually became more intense.
The participation of the red-haired pirates is a change that cannot be ignored for the navy.
Even so, the Navy still did not fall behind.
Akainu, as the well-deserved main force of the navy, faced off against the strongest red-haired Shanks in the enemy camp.
"The dog of Hades."
The rapidly extending molten fist struck Shanks with lightning speed.
Shanks calmly waved the famous sword Griffin in his hand, and easily chopped down Akainu's Hades.
The lava that lost its temperature in an instant turned into charred black matter and scattered on the ground.
Seeing Shanks defeating the Hades so easily, Akainu snorted and glanced at Shanks' intact left arm.
Shanks noticed Akainu's gaze and said calmly: "It's just that the arm has recovered. It shouldn't be anything worth worrying about."
"Redhead, is that why you wanted to get involved at all costs by asking Maude to use her ability to help you recover your arm?"
Akainu's face was filled with hot lava, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
Shanks casually hung the Griffin blade by his side and said unmoved: "It seems that you have forgotten my former 'identity', Akainu."
“…”
Akainu stopped talking and suddenly exerted his strength. He waved his molten fist, wrapped in waves of heat, and hit Shanks' body directly.
Shanks raised his sword and collided with the lava fist from Akainu.
In an instant, a raging air wave, with them as the center point, suddenly swept around.
I don’t know whether it’s because they can’t get close, or because they have a tacit understanding.
Both the members of the red-haired pirates and the members of the navy were far away from Shanks and Akainu who were fighting, creating an environment for the two of them to fight alone.
This development is tacitly understood by both parties.
But Hawkeye disagreed.
The reason why he agreed to the navy's call-up order was that on the one hand he did not want to destroy the comfort at this stage, and on the other hand he wanted to fight Shanks whose arm had recovered.
The result was good, but Akainu got the better of him.
However, Hawkeye did not give up and moved closer to Shanks' location.
"boom!"
A lead bullet wrapped in military colors hit the ground in front of Hawkeye, making a big crater.
Hawkeye stopped and raised his eyes to look at the shooter—Ben Beckman, the vice-captain of the red-haired pirates.
Beckman held up the long gun that was smoking from the muzzle with one hand, and said calmly:
"Eagle Eye, I can understand how you feel, but... the current situation, although not much better, is not too bad. Before the 'new changes' appear, we cannot let you mess around."
"I'm not interested in 'The Gunslinger'."
Hawkeye looked at Beckman calmly.
When Beckman heard this, he curled up his lips slightly and said, "I've done a lot of using guns as swordsmen, so just think of me as a half-baked swordsman."
“…”
Hawkeye was silent.
Just then, a man came to Beckman's side.
The man had braided hair and a black coat, with his chest exposed and his abdomen exposed. He held a long knife that had not been sheathed in his back hand and rested it casually on his shoulder.
"Vice Captain, let me do it."
"Just in time."
Beckman looked at the braided man whose swordsmanship was second only to Shanks and smiled slightly.
Hawkeye was helpless and silently raised the black knife.
at the same time.
The members of the red-haired pirate group faced off against many of the main forces of the navy.
And Lafayette and the others are also the inevitable backbone of the navy.
Although the red-haired pirates shared most of the pressure, the remaining combat power of the navy was still sufficient to suppress Lafayette and the others.
"Hmm~~ It seems that the 'trump card' specially prepared by Dr. Vegapunk in advance will not be used."
Kizaru rubbed his chin and calmly watched the situation on the field.
He was originally fighting against Aokiji, but Garp suddenly took action and restrained Aokiji on his behalf.
After all, with his ability, he is more suitable to snipe and kill the Mord Pirates who are in a chaotic battle than to contain Aokiji.
Especially when everyone in the Mod Pirates is suppressed, his laser beam will become a death scythe that can harvest the lives of everyone in the Mod Pirates.
“Which one should I start with first~~”
Kizaru looked at everyone in the Mord Pirates slowly.
The crisis is approaching quietly.
Chapter 299: The Quiet Crisis
The battle gradually heated up.
The main forces of both sides fought independently.
After seeing that the red-haired pirates had lured away most of the navy's main force, Lafayette planned to push outside the city to meet Mod.
He turned on his partial human-animal form, sprouted wings from his back, and flew towards the Impel Down City.
However, the tea dolphin jumped high without warning and knocked Lafayette down from the sky.
"Bang!"
Lafayette's body fell sharply and hit the remains of one of the islands offshore.
The huge force of the impact smashed a large crater into the ground, and the air waves formed stirred up bursts of smoke and dust.
After counting the interest.
The smoke and dust that filled the surroundings were pushed away by a strong wind.
Lafayette flapped his wings to push away the smoke and dust, jumped out of the pit, and immediately raised his hand to wipe away the blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.
In the collision just now, although he used his weapons to defend himself at the last moment, he was too hasty and failed to fully defend against it, so he was slightly injured.
However, this slight injury is nothing compared to the resilience of the animal system.
"Do you know what navigators hate most?"
Lafayette looked at the tea dolphin who was approaching step by step with cold eyes. He turned his wrist and the sword body reflected the moonlight, reflecting the coldness.
The tea dolphin stood more than ten meters away. Under the influence of [Life Return], its originally ordinary-looking body bulged out into layers of muscles like rocks.
He looked at Lafayette, who exuded a cold aura, with an expressionless face, and said calmly: "I didn't know at first, but after you asked...it seems that what navigators hate most is that their 'way' is blocked."
“Hoo ho…”
Lafayette sneered: "Although the most labor-saving plan is to go around, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Lafayette flashed out of his body and shot out a sharp sword light, piercing the tea pig's face directly.
With a calm expression on his face, Tea Dolphin suddenly raised his arms wrapped in armaments, and put the stabbed sword into his palms.
The blade of the staff sword was controlled by the two palms of the tea dolphin. Lafayette's figure was quickly revealed, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I'm afraid this plan won't work with you."
"It really helps that you understand."
Tea Dolphin's eyes were filled with darkness. He turned his sword with both hands and threw Lafayette away arrogantly.
shave!
Then, the tea dolphin stepped on the ground and disappeared out of thin air.
The next moment.
