*********

"Hey girl, stop killing my subordinates." When Hailey was stabbing a pirate with her spear, she heard these words, and then using Observation Haki, she felt the danger so she quickly ran away.

After Hailey got away the place she was in was bombarded by a beam similar to a laser.

Hayley looked at the person who attacked her and recognized him as Eldoraggo.

Eldoraggo is a dark skinned, red-haired man that resembles a cat or lion in appearance. he wears shoulder pad armor made of gold, with a white shirt underneath. Additionally, he has hard and sharp golden nails over his normal ones, which can be used as weapons.

Hailey didn't notice any weapon in his hands and concluded that this was a Devil Fruit ability.

"Girl, is there gold on your ship?" Eldoraggo was obsessed with gold, and looking at the shape of the ship there was definitely a lot of gold inside.

"Does this matter? We're in a fight anyway." Suddenly Hailey advanced very quickly and used her spear to try to pierce Eldoraggo's body.

Before she could reach him, Eldoraggo opened his mouth and created a wave of sound, in appearance similar to a laser beam.

Hailey was able to predict the attack intent as soon as Eldoraggo opened his mouth, so she was able to get away from the attack easily and continued to advance towards him.

Eldoraggo uses his shoulder armor to block Hailey's spear. "I'm just saying this so I don't accidentally destroy the ship and lose my dear gold."

Eldoraggo tried to stab her with his golden nails but Hailey stopped him "There's nothing for you on our ship."

"You're wrong. All the gold in this world should be mine." Eldoraggo grabs the spear and then opens his mouth again and releases sound blasts, once again Hailey foretells this attack and drops the spear and jumps aside.

"What a beautiful spear, unfortunately it is not made of gold." Eldoraggo threw the spear behind him as if it was trash and then looked at Hailey with a savage smile. "Your spear is gone, what are you going to do, little girl?"

"You are a fool if you think I am weak when my spear is not with me." Hailey disappeared from her place and appeared in front of Eldoraggo.

*Soru*

Then she quickly swung her hand and shot an air blade right near him and he didn't have time to dodge so his chest was slashed.

Blood flowed profusely and Eldoraggo fell onto the deck unconscious.

...

Bear King looked at Clara who wanted to fight him and then at Nami, who had just defeated Queen Honey.

Bear King kept looking at Nami seriously making her confused. "What're you lookin' at?"

'She's my type!' A slight blush appeared on his cheeks and then he showed red roses out of nowhere and presented them to Nami as he stammered. "P-p-please marry me!"

"Oh? After just meeting you only once? Unfortunately, I already have a husband." Nami looked at him seriously while holding her weapon tightly. Surely Nami was referring to Ethan when she said she had a husband.

"Never mind, you can divorce and marry me! After all, I will be the Pirate King and there is no one better than me that you will marry." Bear King kept trying while holding a cute smile, but this annoyed Ethan and wanted to smash the bear's face.

Nami was also upset by this, "Do you really think you are the best man in the world? This is just a bad joke. Even if you are the best man in the world in terms of strength and handsomeness, I would rather die than marry you, because my heart and my body belong to Ethan only."

"Ethan?! Then die and you are loyal to him." Bear King's face turned red in anger and then swing his fist at her.

Before his fist reached Nami, Clara moved quickly and swung her rapier and tried to cut his hand, but all she did was change the course of the punch.

Clara looked at this in astonishment because she felt that what she was trying to cut was not a human hand but a piece of steel.

Bear King looked at Clara's expression of surprise and then said proudly, "My body is strong as steel. The Power of the Kachi Kachi Fruit."

This fruit allows the eater to harden the body at will, increasing defense capabilities. The user can also increase the temperature of their hardened body portions, which can be used to increase damage done to the opponent.

Even in the movie, Luffy couldn't do anything against him, and Luffy was very lucky to survive against this person. If they fight in a different environment, the victor will undoubtedly be Bear King.

In the movie, Luffy did not leave a single scratch on Bear King's body, and was eventually defeated because the island was destroyed and collapsed on him.

"Really then how about this!" Clara swings her rapier again but this time she uses Armament Haki as well.

"Useless!" Bear King intercepted the rapier in his palm.

A shocked look appeared on both Clara and Bear King's faces.

A shocked look appeared on Clara's face as she expected his hand to be cut off, but it only made a superficial scratch.

She only cut the skin and could not cut the flesh. The reason for this was that her sword skill did not reach the level where she would be able to cut steel.

She's also not very skilled with Armament Haki yet, but at least it made her scratch him.

Shock appeared on Bear King's face as this was the first time he had been scratched since eating a Devil Fruit.

Bear King held the rapier tight and did not allow Clara to pull it off and then punched at her.

*Tekkai*

Clara used her arm to block the punch, but from the expression on her face it was clear that she was in pain. This is because the Bear King heated his hand to such an extent that it turned red-orange.

Tekkai skill makes her body stiffer but won't make her heat resistant.

Bear King marvels when he sees her stop his punch while she stays put. "Oh? You seem stronger than I thought."

Bear King gripped the rapier tightly and then lifted it with Clara and then swung the rapier with her body and hit her on the floor of the ship over and over again until the wooden floor was completely shattered.

However, Clara did not suffer any major damage because she was using the Tekkai skill.

Clara took a deep breath and endured the pain of her scorched hand and then used all her strength to pull the rapier out of his hand, and succeeded in doing so while cutting off a little bit of the flesh of his hand as well.

'I've trained for a long time with Ethan, Zora, and Kuina. my sword skills should be half a step closer to being able to cut steel.' Clara took a deep breath and then, using her rapier, deflected the incoming blazing punch and slashed the Bear King's chest.

This time she cut off his skin and a little of his flesh.

Bear King tried to grab the rapier, but Clara wouldn't let it happen again. Bear King has one weak point and that is his slow speed, so Clara made good use of that.

After that Clara continued attacking while Bear King couldn't do anything because of Clara's speed and Observation Haki and also because it's too slow for her.

Bear King's body was slashed all over, yet the wounds were only minor.

Eventually Clara learned how to cut steel and created a new technique.

*Hana gasaku* (blooming flowers)

Clara moved quickly and passed through Bear King and then stood behind him with a smile. Her movements were very fast and when she swung her rapier it was as if the rapier and her hand had disappeared for a moment.

Moments later, several deep wounds appeared on Bear King's chest and took the shape of an blooming flower.
