Great Voyage: The Serpentine Half-Route, Larnia
This is an island where travelers rarely set foot, a place where beasts roam freely, making it an extremely dangerous territory.
At this moment, a fierce battle was raging.
"Well? Have you contacted Chris yet?"
Boa Sandersonia stared at Marigold with urgency, her voice tense as she quickly asked.
Marigold nodded, her gaze fixed on the distant fight as she replied with concern, "We did, but the tremors were too strong, and the signal was cut off..."
"Lord Chris must have heard us. The question is whether he can make it in time... Ugh..."
Listening to the thunderous explosions in the distance, Kalara clenched her fists, her face pale. "At this rate, Lady Hancock won't last much longer..."
Marguerite, gripping her bow, declared with fierce loyalty, "Lady Sandersonia, Lady Marigold, let's charge in! We'll fight to the death!"
"Yes! Even if we die, we must protect Lady Hancock!" The other Kuja warriors roared in agreement, their spirits united as they prepared to rush into battle.
Sandersonia glared at them and snapped, "What good would that do? We'd just be throwing our lives away!"
"Besides, our sister has given strict orders—none of us are to interfere! Do you not understand her intentions?!"
Marigold gritted her teeth in frustration. "If only we could escape by sea, we could just retreat..."
"But if we board the ships, he'll use that terrifying ability of his, and we'll all die at sea!" Kalara paced anxiously, muttering under her breath.
"What do we do... What do we do...?"
Then—a booming laugh echoed from the battlefield ahead.
"Fufufu~ Hancock, you're no match for me! Just surrender already!"
Gamenio, clad in a green cloak with a matching mask, his long tongue flickering, bore an eerie resemblance to a certain infamous figure.
"You've seen my power for yourself. I am the strongest in this world, and you—the most beautiful woman alive—are destined to be mine!"
Spreading his arms wide, Gamenio declared with manic arrogance, "Become my woman, Boa Hancock! I'll give you everything!"
"Perfume Femur!"
Ignoring his words, Hancock formed a giant pink heart in front of her, pulling it back before releasing a barrage of pink arrows.
"Useless! Before the power of my Copy-Copy Fruit, all efforts are in vain!"
The moment Gamenio spoke, an identical pink heart materialized before him. He mimicked her motion, firing his own arrows.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two attacks collided mid-air, shockwaves rippling through the battlefield. Hancock's assault was effortlessly neutralized.
"As long as you're a Devil Fruit user, there's no ability I can't replicate!"
Gamenio smirked, hands in his pockets, exuding arrogance.
"Even if I can't perfectly replicate a Devil Fruit's power, one fact remains unchanged—the strongest Paramecia in the world is the Copy-Copy Fruit!"
"Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit is hailed as the strongest Paramecia, but in my eyes, it's nothing!"
"Mythical Zoans? Logias? Before my power, they're all trash!"
His gaze burned with obsession as he stared at Hancock, licking his lips like a predator cornering its prey.
"Fufufu~ How amusing... How utterly amusing!"
"Boa Hancock, become mine. I'll cherish you... I'll worship you~!"
"Ahhh~ Too perfect! How can such beauty exist in this world?! You belong to me—only me! Hahaha!!"
The woman before him was flawless—long, silken black hair, a figure sculpted by the gods, and a face so exquisite it seemed divine.
"Disgusting man!"
Hancock bit her lip, her peerless features twisting in fury.
"A lowly worm like you dares to claim me?! You're nothing but filth!"
Gamenio only laughed louder, his madness growing.
"Haven't you realized yet, Boa Hancock?"
"If I weren't holding back, you'd already be on the ground. The only reason you're still standing is because I allow it!"
"If you were a man, you'd have died a hundred times over by now!"
His eyes raked over her form, his voice dripping with lust.
"You're too beautiful... I can't bear to hurt you."
"A woman like you—if even a single scratch marred that perfection, I wouldn't forgive myself!"
"Boa Hancock, yield to me. I swear I'll treat you well... I'll obey your every word!"
"A woman like you... was made for me!"
Hancock's mind raced, desperately searching for a way to defeat him.
Gamenio had left Sabaody, declaring his intent to conquer the seas and prove his strength to the world.
Yet before even reaching the New World, she had encountered an opponent she couldn't overcome.
Her pride, once unshakable, now wavered.
She had been wrong.
She had underestimated the world.
"Well? Have you made your choice?"
Gamenio studied her with a predator's gaze, grinning.
"No need to rush... I have all the time in the world~!"
"You know, Boa Hancock... I was once a member of Whitebeard's crew. I've traveled everywhere, seen everything."
"Countless women have crossed my path—beauties of every kind."
"But a woman like you...? This is my first time seeing such perfection."
His eyes roamed over her, dissecting every detail with perverse admiration.
"Your hair... so smooth. Your eyes... mesmerizing. Your skin... flawless."
"Ahh~ I don't even know what to say. Too perfect. You have no flaws."
"Heaven truly crafted you without a single mistake... I'm obsessed! Hahaha!!"
