"Why did Captain Renji suddenly start fighting Hancock?"
"Yeah, isn't she a warlord?"
"Warlord my ass! Didn't you see how that woman shamelessly attacked us, relying on her beauty and status?"
In the distant darkness, Blackbeard looked at Hancock's body in the sky, his eyes gleaming with evil light, and he let out a low chuckle of "Zehahaha!" from time to time.
"Pirate Empress, if you're going to die like this, I might as well take your Devil Fruit with me."
Blackbeard revealed his uneven teeth and, with several of his subordinates, began to rapidly approach Whitebeard's body.
"Bullet! It's up to you!"
On the execution platform, Sengoku frowned, his gaze constantly sweeping across the battlefield.
"That bastard Teach… What is his purpose for being here? It can't be to rescue Ace, can it?"
"And that Pirate Empress, every single one of them is a headache."
Looking at the violent explosion in the sky, Sengoku had already tacitly approved Renji's actions.
Just a mere warlord, if she's killed, then she's killed. Anyway, Whitebeard is already dead, the Admirals can free up their hands, and Marine no longer needs them.
Even without these people, Marine, representing justice, can win this war.
Under the gaze of Sengoku and others, Renji's figure flashed above Hancock. The latter was about to utter harsh words, but her keen senses immediately detected Renji's naked killing intent.
'That damned man actually wants to kill me. This concubine only wanted to give him a trivial lesson.'
Hancock's pupils contracted wildly as the crimson Cursed Energy glow ignited. The attack gathering on that blade was definitely a power that could endanger her life.
She pulled open a pink alluring heart in front of her. The alluring power that instantly spread out was very potent. Even without experiencing it firsthand, the Marines or pirates downwind, had their eyes pop out with hearts.
Even more unlucky individuals were directly petrified by this power.
Hancock, fully unleashing her Devil Fruit ability, reached the peak of her charm.
She was very confident. If it were Vice Admiral Momonga facing this move that day, even if he were to stab a knife into his palm to drive away distracting thoughts with pain, it would still be useless.
However, Hancock witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.
Renji's hair fluttered in the wind, and his azure eyes showed no wavering from her Devil Fruit ability. The crimson Cursed Energy flickering on Kurai was condensing faster and faster!
Just who is this man?!
Hancock couldn't help but feel a chill. She hadn't even managed to unleash her technique, as forming that giant alluring heart was already her limit in such a short time.
Renji was simply too fast.
The next moment.
Whoosh!
Crimson Blade was fully charged, and its burst speed was even faster than Kizaru's laser, by an unknown margin.
The dark red Cursed Energy instantly tore through the air. Hancock's fully activated Devil Fruit heart was broken through like paper, and then, under the gaze of her pupils, which had contracted to pinpricks, it instantly pierced her delicate body.
Extreme pain instantly spread throughout Hancock's body. Luffy below could clearly see that after Crimson Blade penetrated her body, her body began to tremble violently.
"Hancock! What did you do to her, you bastard!"
Luffy's face was instantly filled with rage, but before he could react—
Boom!
The enlarged dark red blade plunged straight into the ground. Terrifying power fluctuations wildly erupted, sending a crowd of miscellaneous soldiers and Luffy flying far away, finally crashing heavily to the ground.
Koby in the distance watched this scene with despair. He clutched his broken arm and muttered in a daze, "How could this be… Even such a strong Luffy-senpai was sent flying with one blow… This monster!"
In the sky, Hancock's body was frozen in mid-air. After a violent tremor, the life in her pupils was on the verge of fading.
"Ugh! Hancock…"
On the ground, Luffy struggled to get up. He looked at the figure in the sky. The one who had helped him so much during the rescue of Ace was being wantonly harmed by that Marine.
It was just like in Shambles, everyone was affected by him.
"Damn it… damn it!"
At this moment, Luffy, after several days, once again felt that deep sense of powerlessness.
"Hiss!"
A large pink python, its entire body wreathed in Haki, actually performed an S-shaped maneuver in the air, rapidly striking towards Renji.
"A python with Haki, huh."
Renji smiled slightly, placing his hand on Hancock's head. With precise control, the intense pain stimulated the dying Hancock to briefly regain her vision.
Then, under her dazed gaze, the pink python that had accompanied her day and night instantly broke into dozens of pieces, and bright red blood spurted out as a blood mist. Her vision also blurred with rage.
"This is your own choice."
A cold voice, like the whisper of a demon, echoed in Hancock's ears.
Before she could express her anger, Renji grabbed her head and slammed it down towards the ground.
Bang!
Rocks shattered, and blood continuously flowed out. Hancock was now silent. The life of a warlord, Queen of Amazon Lily, the Pirate Empress, thus ended.
"Hancock!" Luffy roared in anger, his fingernails digging deeply into his flesh from the exertion.
The remaining warlords couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines as they watched this scene.
"This Renji… actually dared to kill Hancock. She had the World government's approval."
"Fufufufu, can this be considered a confrontation with the World Government?" Doflamingo's expression was playful.
Jinbe's face was extremely solemn. "This person's strength… is a bit too troublesome."
"Zehahaha… Well done, Renji, it's just a shame about that big blood hole." Blackbeard looked at the motionless body on the ground.
On her slender waist, a horrifying hole continuously oozed fresh blood, with dark red Cursed Energy residue within it, though it was not very noticeable mixed with the blood.
"Bullet should be ready soon too."
Stepping on Hancock's head, Renji's eyes were cold, and he said nothing.
Luffy had now gotten up from the ground, his face incredibly grim as he looked at Renji. "Take your foot off!"
Seeing this, Renji paused slightly, then a playful smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He stomped on Hancock's foot a few times before pressing down hard.
Bang!
"!!!"
Luffy's face instantly turned bright red.
At this moment—
Rumble!
On the Marineford battlefield, a sudden change occurred.
"Sengoku, Garp, come on, let me see if you've improved over the years!"
A heavy robot, entirely black and exuding a terrifying aura, appeared on a part of the battlefield at some unknown time. With a bang, it rapidly flew towards the execution platform.
Sengoku's expression changed, "This guy is… the descendant of that demon? How is he here?!"
"Zehaha! That's right, let's turn the battlefield upside down!"
As Blackbeard chuckled sinisterly, a figure as tall as Marineford appeared in the shadows. Its giant hand slammed down towards the execution platform.
"Captain, preparations are complete." Shiryu slowly sheathed his sword as several Marine soldiers fell to the ground.
