Drunken In Love

Luffy's arm blackened as he blew into it. Steam covered the area as his limbs blackened and his hair stood up. The steam wrapped around him like a cloak as his body became leaner. His eyes darkened and a serious expression stained his face. 

"Gear Fourth: Snake Man!" 

At the same time, Hancock placed her hands over her lips. Her face reddened as it became flushed. 

"Muah!" 

She loudly blew a kiss with both hands and a giant heart appeared in front of her. The heart engulfed her until only her silhouette could be seen. The giant heart moved as if it was dancing before it exploded. Countless mini-hearts spread through the area. 

"Awakening:..." 

Hancock reappeared with her appearance disheveled and doing a sexy pose. 

"Love Mania~." 

Her voice was as devilishly sweet as a choir of fallen angels. It raised the heart rates of everyone who heard it. She did another sexy pose with an intoxicated expression. 

"What the?!" 

Everyone was confused by what they were seeing. Hancock and Luffy had taken strange appearances. 

"Oh! Let's go!" 

Astrid and Jessie spoke in unison. Seeing their opponents' new appearances only excited them. 

"When I'm like this I feel like I can have unlimited fun." 

Hancock giggled as she spoke. Her giggles caused the bystanders' chests to tighten. She took a step forward and hearts appeared at her feet. The gravels around her were covered by a fresh layer of stone. The earth the spectators stood on started being coated by stone. 

"Shit!" 

Everybody started to retreat in a panic. All except Frantz, who stared at Hancock as if he was in trance. 

"Frantz!" 

Caria called out to him when she saw him being petrified from the feet up. In an instant, he was turned into stone. 

"She didn't even use her beam on him. Forget that, she didn't even look in his direction." 

Elder Nyon mumbled in shock. She looked at Hancock. As if she sensed her gaze, Hancock glanced over at her. 

"?!" 

Elder Nyon's body stiffened. She found herself staring into Hancock's eyes without being able to stop. The longer she looked, the more she was drawn in. Soon, her mind became foggy, and she was slowly forgetting to do anything other than look at Hancock, even breathing. 

"Elder Nyon!" 

She was only brought back when she was shaken by Rindo. 

"Are you okay? We were talking to you, but you weren't responding."

"Y-Yeah. I..." 

She glanced back at Hancock. 

"Ekk!" 

This time she fell on her butt. 

(It felt like my soul was being dragged out of my body!) 

Her body started trembling. 

"It's like she became a succubus from the legends." 

Tate mumbled while looking at Hancock. He smiled. 

"Astrid, your arrogance really saved you this time. Otherwise, you would've lost already." 

"Hahaha!" 

Astrid burst out laughing. 

"Looks like you're ready to have fun!" 

He lifted his fists. 

"Let's g--" 

He suddenly found himself flying through the air. 

"Huh?" 

He crashed into the gravel before he could register what happened. He sat up and saw Hancock with her leg raised a hundred meters away. 

"When did she...?" 

He sprung to his feet. She looked at him and nodded. 

"I'm going to enjoy this." 

Meanwhile, Jessie hovered while looking down at Luffy. He grinned and dove down. 

"Let's go, Strawhat!" 

Luffy watched as he flew at him. He threw a punch and it stretched towards Jessie. Jessie smiled and evaded it. He continued to fly towards Luffy. 

"Come on, Strawh-" 

He was hit in the face by a punch from his left and crashed into the earth. He got up and looked at Luffy in confusion. 

"What just happened?" 

Luffy bounced in place while keeping eyes on him. Jessie got up and flew at Luffy again. Luffy timed him and punched out. Again, Jessie evaded the punch and charged at Luffy. 

"?!" 

He was punched from below and sent flying into the air. 

"What the?!" 

Luffy blasted off the ground and flew at the confused Jessie like a rocket. Jessie dove at him. Luffy evaded him and circled around his back. 

"He can fly freely?!" 

Jessie spun around and was hit by a punch to the face. He was forced back. He caught himself and hovered in the air. Luffy charged him while retracting his arm into his body. 

"Gum-Gum Culverin!" 

A fist flew at Jessie with overwhelming speed. Jessie coated his body in Haki and flew at him. 

"Humming Missile!" 

He clashed with the fist and was forced back. Luffy caught up to him. 

"Jet Culverin!" 

Jessie was hit by a rapid fist before he could see it. 

"What the-" 

He was hit again before he could finish speaking. 

(I got to create some distance!) 

He flew in reverse and the fist followed. He abruptly flew up. 

"Chase him, Python!" 

The punch bent and chased after him. 

"Wha?!" 

Jessie twisted his body out of the way. He looked and saw the fist bend again and fly at him. He flew upwards while looking down. The fist accelerated and chased after him. 

"What the hell?!" 

He suddenly burst out laughing. 

"It's actually chasing me!" 

He stopped and dove down. He clashed with the fist again. Luffy flew at him and retracted the fist. Jessie was bleeding from his head and his beak was severely damaged. 

"Hahahaha!" 

Yet he was still laughing. 

"I don't know what's going, but this is sick!" 

Meanwhile, Astrid was facing a strange Hancock. She evaded his punches with weird footwork and slammed her heel on the side of his head. 

(She moves like she's drunk!) 

"4000 Brick Fist!" 

He aimed a punch at her chest. She bent backward and lowered her body until she was only a few inches off the ground. The punch flew over her. She sprung back up and laughed in Astrid's face. 

"Vacuum!" 

He controlled the water in her body and pulled her towards him. She giggled as he grabbed at her. She bent her body like a snake and evaded his grasp. She held his arm and pulled him closer to her. She forced him to look in her eyes. He could see hearts in them. He kicked her away. She glided across the ground and landed like a ballerina. She spun on her toes and flew back at him. 

"Water Shot!" 

He fired water bullets at her. She evaded them while jumping and spinning like a ballerina. Before he noticed it, she had cut the distance. He blinked and his head was planted on the ground with Hancock spinning on top of it. 

"Ahh!" 

He roared and forced her off him. He got up and threw strong punches. She swatted away every punch with swift kicks before they could reach her. He threw a hook. She leaped over it and landed on his shoulders. She spun on his shoulders, hooked his head, and threw his body like a showboating wrestler. Astrid sprung to his feet and saw her waving at the spectators and blowing them kisses. 

"Don't turn your back on me!" 

He flew at her. 

"Piercing Wave!" 

He thrust his fingers at her with terrifying force and speed. She looked over her shoulder with her hair sticking to her face. 

"Are you trying to stand in the way of my love?" 

"Huh?" 

Astrid's body froze. No, it didn't freeze. Everything around him had slowed down. He saw Hancock turn around and walk towards him. She alone moved normally in this slow world. She stopped in front of him and lifted her leg. 

(Ah...) 

That's when Astrid realized what was happening. 

(It's not that the world is moving slowly...) 

Hancock swung her leg and pressed her foot against Astrid's temple. 

(It's just she's moving too fast for my brain to process what is going on.) 

He looked at Hancock's flushed face and her beautiful yet seductive smile. 

"Ah..." 

She winked at him. 

"She really is beautiful." 

Meanwhile, Jessie was struggling to keep up with Luffy in their battle. He flew at Luffy while laughing. Luffy grinned and fired two punches at him. 

"Black Mamba!" 

Jessie's vision was overwhelmed by fists coming at him. He laughed as he tried to maneuver through the storm of fists. He evaded as much as he could with his mobility, but it didn't take long for the first attack to land. After that, it was over. 

"Ahhh!" 

Jessie screamed as the fists rained down on him. His body danced in the air as it was hit from every direction. By the time he was freed, he had returned to his human form. He fell towards the ground with his eyes rolled to the back of his head. Luffy flew towards to catch him. 

"Huh?" 

The moment Luffy got close, Jessie stretched his arms out and placed his fists over Luffy's chest. 

"This is... 

Luffy suddenly remembered his fight with Rob Lucci. 

"Oh sh-" 

*BAM!* 

A burst of force rushed from Jessie's fist and hit Luffy. However, he was only forced away and didn't suffer any serious damage. He looked at Jessie who hit the ground. His eyes were still rolled to the back of his head. 

"Heh." 

Luffy found himself smiling. He deactivated Gear Four and immediately slumped to the ground. 

"Ugh...I wonder if Hancock won." 

Elsewhere, Hancock was lying on the ground sleeping. 

"Hehehe...Luffy~." 

She mumbled. Next to her, Astrid was laid out with his body twitching. There was an indent on the side of his head. 

"......" 

Everyone spectating the battle was at a loss for words. All four fighters were down, but there was an obvious winner in both battles. In the end, Luka broke the silence. 

"What the hell did I just watch?"
