"Cough, cough... Blergh!"
As a survivor of the Lunarian race, having eaten an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit, his physical fitness was in no way inferior to a Mythical Zoan user. King the Wildfire, after taking just one kick from Hancock, was coughing up blood in the dust.
When flames are burning on King the Wildfire's body, his defense is at its strongest.
In this form, just like Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, unless one possesses a special fruit ability, or masters Internal Destruction Haki, or waits until his stamina is drained and the flames disappear causing his defense to drop severely, other means are difficult to harm him.
Unfortunately, his opponent was Hancock.
If his defense wasn't so astonishing, and if he didn't use Haki to defend, getting hit by Hancock's kick infused with Conqueror's Haki just now wouldn't have resulted in just internal injuries and coughing blood; he would have been directly petrified and shattered like someone hit by Perfume Femur.
Within the Five Emperor crews, Marco, Charlotte Katakuri, and King the Wildfire all have their own specialties and are contestants of the same level.
But the remaining two First Mates are above them, contestants on a completely different level.
These two First Mates are Benn Beckman and Hancock.
One straw hat worn by three people, the pirate crews formed by these three people have very similar configurations, especially the strength of the vice-captains.
It is known that Roger's vice-captain, Silvers Rayleigh, who shares the same title "Dark King" as one of the Ancient Weapons, is a super-powerhouse who mastered Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
In the original story's Onigashima Arc, Zoro also awakened Conqueror's Haki during his battle with King the Wildfire, and in the future, he will definitely be a super-powerhouse who masters Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
As Luffy's guide and Red-Haired Shanks' vice-captain, Benn Beckman, one of the smartest men on the sea, is also definitely a super-powerhouse who masters Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
Rather than a First Mate, it's better to call them a Vice-King!
It is also because of Benn Beckman's existence that although the Red-Haired Pirates have few members, everyone must give Shanks face, and Kaido is no exception.
Because no one is confident they can defeat two super-powerhouses working together, especially when both parties master Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
Hancock has now used Conqueror's Haki Infusion, proving she has also transcended the level of a First Mate and officially entered the ranks of the world's gold-medal contestants.
"Come at me together. This Empress will crush you all."
Hancock, using Moon Walk in the air, glanced at King the Wildfire in the dust below, then looked in Charlotte Katakuri's direction, speaking with domineering Haki.
After speaking, Hancock's figure descended from the sky, suppressing King the Wildfire with absolutely powerful strength.
Before long, Charlotte Katakuri, Charlotte Smoothie, and Jack the Drought all arrived.
The four top commanders began to join forces to deal with Hancock.
The result was that within a few rounds, Jack, whose Haki was not as strong as King's, had an arm directly petrified and shattered by Hancock.
If he hadn't dodged quickly, he probably would have been finished off by one of Hancock's kicks.
"Jack, you are not her match. Go help on other battlefields quickly."
Seeing this, King the Wildfire quickly said.
"...I understand."
Jack, having had an arm kicked off, also calmed down instantly, then quickly disengaged from the battlefield.
Hancock's instant-death ability, the terrifying effect after being amplified by Haki.
If Hancock hadn't mastered Advanced Haki, then her petrification and shattering abilities could be defended against as long as one possessed decent Haki.
But as Hancock mastered the advanced applications of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, her petrification and shattering abilities became indefensible without extremely powerful Haki.
This made Hancock's lethality suddenly break through the heavens.
Such rule-based ability users are also the ones all enemies least want to encounter.
Like Vice Admiral Tsuru on the Marines' side, the user of the Paramecia-type Wash-Wash Fruit, who can wash enemies like clothes. Not only can she flatten enemies into clothes-like shapes, but she can also wash away their strength and spirit.
People without powerful Haki, once caught by Vice Admiral Tsuru, will not only lose their combat ability but will also be like those hit by Negative Hollows, losing even the will to resist.
If Vice Admiral Tsuru's Haki is strong enough, it's the same even if a Haki master is caught.
The reason Doflamingo is so afraid of Vice Admiral Tsuru, choosing to flee every time he saw her in the North Blue.
Once caught by that old woman, there really is no turning back.
Hancock's current strength is more terrifying than Vice Admiral Tsuru.
The only people who can withstand the Perfume Femur are First Mate level contestants.
Like Jack the Drought and Charlotte Smoothie, once kicked by Hancock, they would be either dead or maimed.
Therefore, Charlotte Smoothie didn't dare to get close at all, only daring to launch attacks at Hancock from a distance.
Charlotte Katakuri did the same, directly using his Fruit Awakening to support King the Wildfire.
Possessing Future Sight, he saw the result of getting close.
The opponent's petrification ability is his nemesis.
Because he is only a Special Paramecia, not a true Logia.
His elementalization is fake. Without consuming a large amount of Haki, he can't withstand Hancock's instant-death ability at all.
Thus, a scene that left the whole world dumbfounded was immediately presented.
Facing the combined forces of four top commanders, Hancock not only beat one away but also suppressed the other three.
Such strength, such achievements...
Regardless of whether the Black Hole Pirates win this war, as long as Hancock can leave this island alive, her bounty will definitely double and skyrocket again.
If she weren't Yami's maid, the various factions watching the broadcast would have no doubt that this woman possesses the qualifications to become the Sixth Emperor of the Sea.
After all, she has both the strength and the forces!
While Hancock fought one against three, Jozu and those division commanders and pirate captains were partially stalled by Nami and the Donquixote Family, while the remaining part chose to attack the Perfume Yuda in the sky.
Unfortunately, no matter what means they used, they couldn't break the tornado created by Shirahoshi.
If they rushed into the sky, they would be hit by Negative Hollows.
Commanders who hadn't mastered Advanced Haki couldn't resist the influence of the Negative Hollows at all, falling back to the ground one by one, looking socially dead.
When they lost their combat ability, a rain of arrows would fall from the sky.
Luckily, the other division commanders and pirate captains were strong enough, otherwise, these New World powerhouses who lost their combat ability would probably have been shot into beehives.
Seeing this, Whitebeard finally couldn't sit still.
He no longer headed towards the center of the island. Clenching his fist the size of a sandbag, he prepared to attack the mobile fortress in the sky.
It's unknown if it was a coincidence.
Just as Whitebeard was about to act, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in the sky not far from the Perfume Yuda.
That figure was Yami, whose whereabouts had been unknown.
Around Yami, four huge red stone tablets were floating.
Seeing the four stone tablets, Whitebeard's pupils contracted. The Five Elders and Sengoku, who saw this scene through the Visual Den Den Mushi perspective, looked even more shocked and restless.
