265 Hancock Vs Weevil

Ms. Bakin sneered, "Didn't I say my son will marry your empress?"

"Hancock doesn't have a man yet, right?"

"Since your Kamiari Festival is happening, I brought my son to propose marriage."

"Look at my charming little fat boy, he is definitely worthy of your king."

Elder Nyonba refused and said, "I'm sorry, our Kamiari Festival has passed."

"And..." Elder Nyonba glanced at Weevil's ugly and disgusting face, "Are you blind? How did you see that he is so charming?"

Elder Nyonba has figured it out. The other party is coming today with bad intentions, and there must be a fight!

"Jijijiji, guess there's no choice then!" Ms. Bakin shrieked.

"Weevil, take her! Make her your wife!"

"Oh, which woman to grab, mom." There were women all around. Weevil didn't know which one was the target, so he could only look at Buckingham Stussy with pleading eyes.

"You idiot!" Ms. Bakin smacked him hard on the forehead.

"It hurts so much, mom, stop hitting me~"

"Look in the direction of my finger, the woman with the longest legs!"

"Oh, I understand, mom." Weevil reacted slowly and pulled out the big naginata from the ground.

"Idiot." Hancock's beautiful face was filled with anger.

"How dare you! Filthy, ugly people like you even dreaming of making me your wife? Absurd!"

"Mero Mero Mellow!"

The empress gracefully formed a heart with her hands, releasing a wave of love-shaped energy.

"Mom, what's she doing?"

"Huh? Mom, why are you closing your eyes? Why are you covering your ears? Mom, say something!"

Weevil stood blankly, letting the light hit him without any change, scratching his head, wondering what the other party was doing.

Meanwhile, Ms. Bakin had already blocked her eyes and ears, hiding behind Weevil.

"What?! My Sweet Sweet Fruit didn't work?!"

The empress unconsciously took two steps back before suppressing the shock in her heart.

Since going out to sea, no matter whether it is men, women, animals, children, the elderly, or objects, nothing has been able to avoid being petrified by her beauty.

But now, against Weevil, the Sweet Sweet Fruit had failed for the first time.

The Sweet Sweet Fruit is a special Paramecia-type Devil Fruit.

It grants the ability to petrify anyone who harbors feelings of attraction. The user can also directly turn opponents and objects into stone at will.

Once petrified, the effect remains even after death.

The fruit naturally enhances charm, and with the empress's unparalleled beauty, it has enchanted both men and women alike. No one has ever resisted its power—until now.

Weevil, however, is different. He lacks any concept of beauty or ugliness. He simply doesn't understand attraction, making him completely immune.

"Hahaha! Hancock, my son and I are your worst nightmare!" Buckingham Stussy cackled.

"Kiss Gun!"

Unwilling to admit defeat, the empress took action again, lightly touched her lips with her fingers, and created a small peach-colored heart-shaped substance. 

She then used it as a bullet, aimed at the target with her fingers as a muzzle, and shot at the target.

"Ouch, it hurts." Weevil rubbed the area where he was hit, but it was still not petrified.

It was undeniable now. The Sweet Sweet Fruit had no effect on him.

Hancock bit her lower lip. She had to face the harsh truth that her Devil Fruit was useless in this fight, so she could only rely on physical skills to fight.

Without the Sweet Sweet Fruit, Hancock's combat effectiveness dropped by at least 50%—if not more.

At first glance, she seemed like an average Shichibukai in terms of strength.

But in the later years, she would prove to be one of the strongest, easily ranking in the top three among the Shichibukai.

In the future, she would use her Devil Fruit to instantly defeat two of Blackbeard's captain-level officers—one of them possessing a Mythical Zoan.

An instant kill.

But now, without the fruit's power, Hancock had suddenly fallen from being one of the strongest Shichibukai to one of the weakest.

"Mom, hold on tight! I'm starting!"

Weevil bent his knees and slashed his massive blade—a technique similar to Whitebeard's Murakumogami.

A dozens-meter-long flying slash shot forward.

Rumble!

Hundreds of massive trees were cleaved apart, the force of the attack still raging forward.

To protect the citizens behind her, Hancock charged head-on.

"Perfume Femur!"

Boom!

She countered the attack, neutralizing it with her devastating kick.

But only Elder Nyonba noticed—Hancock's lowered leg was trembling slightly.

"Everyone, leave! Now!"

"You'll only be a burden if you stay!"

Elder Nyonba ordered the Amazon Lily guards to retreat, leaving only herself and Hancock behind.

No one else could interfere in this battle.

Weevil might be an idiot, but his instincts in battle were powerful. 

His sheer strength and talent suggested that—even if he wasn't Whitebeard's son—his father had to be someone extraordinary.

Once the fight began, Weevil didn't need Bakin's orders.

He charged forward like a moving fortress, swinging his massive blade at Hancock.

"Perfume Femur!"

Hancock coated her leg in Armament Haki, aiming to petrify Weevil's weapon.

But the moment her attack landed, she realized the problem—Weevil had already coated his weapon in Armament Haki as well.

"Wait… isn't he supposed to be an idiot? He can use Haki?!"

"AHHHHHHHH!!!"

Weevil roared, swung his sword, and sent Hancock flying into the sky.

Just as the blade was about to strike her down, Weevil suddenly remembered his mother's orders—

He needed to capture Hancock alive.

At the last second, he flipped the blade, using the flat side instead.

Weevil's worries were unnecessary.

Hancock twisted in mid-air and used Moonwalk to regain distance.

"Sweet—"

Her muscle memory kicked in, but she quickly bit her tongue—the Sweet Fruit was useless against Weevil.

Troublesome…

From their brief exchange, it was clear—Weevil wasn't weaker than her in either physical strength or combat skill.

At first, Hancock considered taking the opportunity to eliminate Buckingham Stussy, but killing her wouldn't change anything.

For Weevil, fighting was as natural as breathing.

"Idiot! Stop holding back! You can't kill her!"

Buckingham Stussy yanked Weevil's ear angrily.

"Got it, Mom!"

Weevil nodded and charged again, raising his massive blade to strike at Hancock's head.

Boom!

Hancock swiftly ducked, swept her leg low, and delivered a powerful Armament Haki kick to Weevil's ankle.

The impact made his massive frame tilt forward slightly.

But Hancock wasn't done—

Balancing on one leg, she pressed her hands against the ground, using them as a pivot.

Then, like a coiled spring, she launched her other leg upward, striking at an impossible angle!

When people look at it, they can't help but sigh, the flexibility is so good.

Her long, toned legs—nearly one and a half meters—sliced through the air, sending a gust of wind that lifted the hem of her skirt.

With precision and power, her Armament Haki-infused high heels struck Weevil's chin.

Hancock pressed down harder, aiming to end the fight in one decisive blow—

But her heel was stuck.

It wouldn't budge.

At that moment, Weevil's sword came crashing down like a warhammer.

With no choice, Hancock abandoned her high heel, dodging barefoot just in time.
