Chapter 193 - Boa Hancock 02.

[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

Calm Belt, First Half of GrandLine.

...

...

As Luffy flipped through the newspaper, completely absorbed in his own bounty and the news, utterly oblivious to the chaos he had instigated on the Kuja Pirates' ship, Boa Hancock experienced a level of fury she seldom felt towards a man. In all past instances, she could simply turn them to stone, but this pirate was faster than she was, which already infuriated her, and to see herself being ignored...

A vein appeared on her forehead. The Pirate Queen, known for her beauty considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world, was not accustomed to being ignored, much less scorned. 

"How dare he ignore my presence, my beauty!" Hancock murmured to herself, her eyes fixed on Luffy with a burning intensity. The other pirates, noticing their queen's indignation, quickly rallied to her defense, hurling a barrage of insults towards the carefree pirate. 

"Despicable!" shouted one of the younger pirates, a haki arrow ready on her bow. 

"Insolent!" echoed another, as she prepared her own attack, determined to protect their leader's honor. 

Hancock, trying to maintain an appearance of calm and control, raised a hand, signaling her subordinates to calm down. "Leave him to me," she said, her voice a mix of calm and coldness. "This man... This 'Monkey D. Luffy' will learn to respect the most beautiful woman in the world." 

"Sister...?" One of her sisters looked towards Hancock cautiously, after all, she knew Luffy was not a common enemy they would encounter in paradise. 

Without saying anything more, Hancock advanced towards Luffy, determined to subjugate him. She began to leap into the air, using the geppo technique she had learned on her own. 

[I believe she cannot use Geppo, but I think it's a technique that can be added to her here.] 

Meanwhile, Luffy was oblivious to a scorned woman approaching him as there was a flurry of complaints on the ship below, Luffy remained focused on the newspapers in his hands. He laughed loudly, his joy at seeing new bounties as his laughter spread through the sky. "750 million, huh? That's amazing! But why didn't it reach 1 billion?" he asked curiously, his expression becoming a bit disappointed. "I defeated a billion-bounty pirate, that's not fair..." His joy turned into complaint. 

"Hm? What's that?" He diverted his attention from the newspaper feeling a danger approaching with his developing observation haki. 

He looked down and noticed Hancock approaching with hatred in her gaze. "Why is she so angry..." Luffy murmured and received a kick, dodging it, forced to drop the newspaper. 

"Hey, don't disturb others in their reading." Luffy commented. 

"You, you damned man! This queen will teach you a lesson and break you when you turn to stone!" She said, starting a combo of kicks at Luffy. 

"Hancock, you should wear panties, I can see everything from here." Luffy commented, dodging the attacks again. "And I only like women who I have exclusivities with, it bothers me if someone else can see something that only I should." Luffy commented calmly. 

"You! What are you implying with that, I will kill you!" She snarled. 

"Your arrogant personality is also a turn-off..." He said, making her intensify her strikes even more, Luffy was the most hated man for Hancock at that moment. 

"You're really sensitive, aren't you?" Luffy complains with a kick passing just milliseconds from his head. 'This is getting dangerous, I'll have to fight back too.' He comments internally, as his arms wrap in haki, and began to hit Hancock's feet with his attacks, forming a fight of punches and kicks, with haki, at least he wasn't turning into stone. 

Luffy, on the other hand, used his agility and haki ability to dodge and counter-attack, his punches targeting Hancock with precision. The duel between the two was not just physical, but also a confrontation of wills, where Hancock's fury collided with Luffy's uncommitted joy. 

Luffy and Hancock began to exchange blows, causing a disturbance in the air with the sonic explosions of both forces, Luffy could not beat her in his usual form just with wings, but at least he could defend himself for the moment.

*BOOM!* 

*BOOM!* 

*BOOM!* 

*BOOM!* 

*BOOM!* 

As the two continued to fight, the confrontation became increasingly intense, both moving like shadows, their limbs in motion as if they were dancing in front of each other. The Kuja Pirates were in shock, while Hancock's sisters were deeply concerned about how the fight was progressing, as the man seemed undeterred by the woman known as the most beautiful in the world. 

At one moment, Hancock decided to add a different twist to the fight using her fruit, fighting only with her legs against Luffy. She moved her arms and formed a heart with her hands in front of Luffy. Seeing this, Luffy was quite surprised, knowing he could fall right there to this point-blank beam, as Hancock wouldn't let him escape easily. 

"Mero Mero no Mi... Hm?!" Hancock, smiling triumphantly, noticed a change in Luffy. A burst of purple flames occurred, and she was thrown backward as she launched her beam. 

*FLAMES* The sound of flames covered the sky, and Hancock's beam went straight to the center. 

Hancock frowned, looking at a spot inside the flames where her attack hadn't reached. Luffy had managed to escape her point-blank shot. 

When the flames dissipated, a Phase 2 Luffy was shown to all, his body having changed. 

"So this is your mythical Zoan..." Hancock commented, not foolish enough to be unaware of Luffy's powers. This pirate was taking down all the Shichibukais, and she had to be cautious with him too after the news of Doflamingo and Jack's fall. 

"That was close..." Luffy commented while in his transformation. He looked at Hancock and cracked a small smile. In an instant, he advanced directly towards the pirate empress, wanting to test her strength. 

Luffy dodged the Mero Mero no Mi beams as he approached, Hancock had no choice but to face him head-on. 

*BOOM!* 

*BOOM!* 

*BOOM!* 

*BOOM!* 

*BOOM!* 

Once again, the fight between arms and legs began anew, but Hancock found some difficulty in combating her enemy now, though it wasn't so visible to the eyes of others. 

The Kuja Pirates, still shocked on the ship below, raised their thoughts seeking answers. "Can a man transform into this purple thing?!" one of the younger ones asked, looking bewildered. "How can he move so fast?!" exclaimed one of the older ones, her eyes wide in surprise as she followed the nearly invisible movements of Luffy and her empress. "Can he really fight on par with our queen?!" Another fangirl couldn't help but exclaim, for her, Hancock was invincible, and no one could say otherwise. 

Some of the younger pirates began to scream in support of their queen. "Finish him, finish that man, Hancock-Sama!" "Show him the power of the Kuja Pirates!" Meanwhile, the more experienced exchanged worried glances with Hancock's sisters, aware that the fight was not so simple. 

With every move of Hancock, trying to corner Luffy with her Love Rays, the crew reacted with palpable tension. And when Luffy used his increased speed to dodge, a murmur of astonishment swept across the deck of the ship. Luffy's flames began to affect the women on the ship, forcing them to start moving away from the hot flames intensifying in the sky. 

"I think your crew will be in a bad state if we continue our fight here." Luffy commented while punching Hancock's feathers, launching an explosion with a radius of armament haki around them with a shock explosion. 

"..." Hancock didn't say anything, just continued trying to get through the man's defense while he attempted to hit her so she would turn to stone. 

Luffy backed away a bit and looked towards the island he had already planned to go to anyway, before flapping his wings and flying in that direction.

"Do you intend to flee from this empress?" Hancock practically shouted, watching Luffy move away. She would not let this happen. Still boiling with rage for having been challenged and, in her perception, disrespected by this man, she was not willing to let Luffy escape so easily. 

Though she recognized he was strong, perhaps stronger than her, and in speed, he had already surpassed her, she was confident she could defeat him by turning him into stone. Then, using Geppo, she started to follow him in the air towards the island. 

"She's following me... That's good." Luffy looked back to see Hancock stepping through the air trying to approach him. He wanted to talk to her alone, and now he would have a chance, while on the Kuja pirates' ship, everyone watched dumbfounded as the two moved away. 

Luffy flew over the island and found a deserted beach on the other side with ample space to fight without affecting the beasts within the forests, and this would give time until the Kuja pirates could circumnavigate the island to reach them. 

Luffy landed softly on the white sand, turning to wait for Hancock, who soon landed elegantly near him, her expression still laden with fury but also with a hint of curiosity about Luffy's intentions, knowing the pirate had lured her here on purpose. 

"Damned man, why did you bring me here?" Hancock demanded, maintaining her arrogant composure. 

Luffy, with his characteristic ease, replied: "I think we were going too far back on the ship. Maybe here we can talk better, without everyone watching. I don't want to hurt you or your ship... or your crew." 

"Do you think you can do that?!" She said angrily and charged at him. Luffy dodged her kick, he punched her in an opening making her retreat several meters, when she was about to return to the fight and attack again, she realized Luffy was above her, as flames swirled like a tornado around his right arm as he clenched his fist to attack her. Hancock had to go on the defensive seeing that she could not dodge him. 

The flames exploded before that beach, lifting sand all over the place. *BOOOOOOM!!!!* the explosion of purple flames exploded all over the place as Luffy canceled his transformation and maintained his "human" appearance. 

When the flames and dust settled, a Hancock appeared in the middle of a crater, she was fine while keeping her arms crossed in a defensive position, however, the same could not be said about her clothes, because she was completely naked. 

"I'm sure she's going to try to kill me without even listening after this, but I must say, she really is one of the most beautiful women in the world." Luffy comments looking at Hancock. 

He was right, Hancock had never experienced such humiliation since she left her life as a slave; she had been ignored, mocked, and now humiliated by this man, she wanted to kill him once and for all because now he could see the mark on her back, so now she would kill him mercilessly as she looked at him with eyes filled with hatred.
