Grand Line, Thriller Bark:
In this desolate and terrifying Sea area, there is a region shrouded in fog.
Frightening things often happen here, such as the appearance of zombies or ghosts singing, to the point that many people dare not approach this Sea area.
However, today, a ship pulled by several Sea Kings snakes directly rushed into this foggy Sea area.
"What a gloomy and disgusting place. I dislike it very much. I will turn the guys here into stone and sink them into the Sea!"
Hancock, as part of the Kuja Pirates, looked at everything before her with great arrogance and disgust.
After living in the Limitless Pirates for so many years, and being from Amazon Lily, Hancock naturally took over the position of Captain of the Kuja Pirates.
Her own beauty, coupled with her powerful strength and the power of the Mero Mero no Mi, has made her the widely popular Pirate Empress in the World over the past few years, also known as the most beautiful Pirate in this World. Countless men are willing to surrender under her spell.
"Sister, Lord Nox ordered that these Shichibukai cannot help the Marine and the World Government this time, but it seems he didn't say to kill him, right? If we kill him, will it be alright?"
Boa Sandersonia said with some doubt.
"Hmph, that's because Lord Nox is benevolent and unwilling to say it so cruelly. Trash like the Shichibukai previously defected to the World Government. If they defect to the Limitless Pirates now, they might betray Lord Nox. To prevent such accidents, let me clear all hidden dangers for Lord Nox!"
What Hancock said was so cold, but when she mentioned Nox, her face instantly flushed, and she covered her cheeks with both hands, wondering what she was thinking.
Seeing their sister like this, they, as younger sisters, really wanted to persuade her not to have such thoughts. After all, their Grandma Shakky is Lord Nox's wife. Their sister's behavior seems a bit unethical.
According to their seniority, they are indeed Shakky's granddaughters, just without a blood relationship.
As soon as they thought of their sister competing with Grandma Shakky for a man, they felt a little embarrassed.
But thinking of their sister's stubborn personality, the two younger sisters immediately gave up the idea of persuading her.
"I wonder if Grandma Shakky knows about sister's thoughts!"
The two sisters, Boa Sandersonia and Boa Sandersonia, could only pray that Grandma Shakky didn't know about this situation.
But what they didn't expect was that Shakky already knew, and had talked to Hancock, but it was useless!
In the end, Shakky saw that Nox had no particular feelings either, so she simply didn't bother anymore!
"Captain, Captain, a ship has entered our territory! According to observation, it's the Kuja Pirates' ship, and the person who came is the currently popular Pirate Empress, Hancock!"
A subordinate hurriedly ran into the Thriller Bark's cabin to inform Gekko Moriah of the news.
"Heh heh heh heh, what Pirate Empress? Since she dares to intrude upon my territory, I'll let her know how powerful I, Gekko Moriah, am. I happen to be short on shadows recently, so I'll use their shadows to fill up my shadow library."
Gekko Moriah laughed heartily, and then led his subordinates out of the cabin.
The fact that the Limitless Pirates stood behind Hancock had not spread. Only a few forces with good intelligence knew about it. Someone like Gekko Moriah, who had no intelligence system and no friends, had no idea that the Limitless Pirates were behind Hancock. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so arrogant when facing Hancock.
"Sister, we're here. Thriller Bark is ahead, that's Gekko Moriah's territory. I heard he can control zombies, it's very evil!"
Boa Sandersonia pointed ahead and said.
"Hmph, bring the ship closer. I will immediately eliminate these disgusting guys and go back to report the mission to Lord Nox!"
Hancock said proudly with her chin raised.
"Minions, kill everyone on this ship!!"
After Gekko Moriah saw Hancock's ship approaching, he gave an order, and the massive zombie army behind him all charged forward together.
"Dirty and ugly guys, you will all turn into stone under my beauty!!"
Hancock stood on the bow of the ship, looking down at the many zombie legions below. She lightly kissed her two fingers with her red lips, pulling out a large heart that appeared in front of her.
"Mero Mero Mellow!!"
As Hancock pulled the heart and then released her fingers, arrows of captivation instantly shot out from the heart like a machine gun.
And under Hancock's control, all the arrows of captivation hit their targets, none missing!
In just over ten seconds, all the zombies that had charged forward were hit by the arrows of captivation, turned into stone, and then knocked over and crushed by the zombies charging from behind.
"Damn it, you bastard! How dare you turn my beloved zombies into stone!"
Losing hundreds of zombies in just over ten seconds made Gekko Moriah's heart ache. "Brick Bat!"
Gekko Moriah personally took action, controlling the power of shadows to suddenly attack Hancock from behind.
But Hancock had already sensed it. With power from her flawless, long legs, she rapidly charged towards Gekko Moriah, simultaneously dodging Gekko Moriah's sneak attack.
"Perfume Femur!"
The moment Hancock sprinted forward, her speed was extreme. In the blink of an eye, she had already approached Gekko Moriah, and then fiercely kicked directly at him!
"Not good!!"
Gekko Moriah couldn't have imagined Hancock's speed would be so fast. Subconsciously, he used his left hand to block his left side.
"Crack!!!"
However, to Gekko Moriah's horror, his hand was actually kicked into stone by the opponent, and then his entire arm shattered!
"Doppelman!"
This scared Gekko Moriah so much that he quickly used his ability to swap positions with a shadow behind him, widening the distance from Hancock.
"Shadows Asgard!!"
Having witnessed Hancock's terror, Gekko Moriah didn't dare to hesitate for a moment. He immediately used his ultimate move. Countless shadows rapidly poured into his body, causing his entire body to quickly grow stronger.
"Disgusting guy, you can't escape!"
"Soru!!"
Hancock's legs exerted force again, creating a large pit on the ship's deck. She burst out with even faster speed than before, instantly reaching Gekko Moriah's true body.
"Consecutive Great Perfume Femur!!"
Hancock leaped up, rushing directly in front of Gekko Moriah's head. Twisting her waist, she spun her body, continuously kicking towards Gekko Moriah's head with both feet.
Gekko Moriah, who was gathering shadows to strengthen himself, used his other hand to block Hancock's kicks, but his remaining hand was also shattered. Along with his head, which hadn't finished transforming, it was also kicked into stone and shattered, leaving only a headless corpse!
"Bang!!!"
As soon as Gekko Moriah died, countless shadows controlled by him scattered and fled. Gekko Moriah's expanding body quickly shrunk and collapsed onto the ground.
"Hmph, trash Shichibukai, a weakling who doesn't even dare to enter the New World, yet dares to help the World Government oppose Lord Nox!"
Hancock snorted coldly, didn't even spare a glance at Gekko Moriah's corpse, and turned to leave.
A fool whose Busoshoku Haki had even degenerated. If Lord Nox hadn't ordered it, she wouldn't have bothered dealing with such a fool.
"Sister is truly amazing! If Lord Nox saw you defeat a Shichibukai so easily, he would definitely look at you differently!"
Boa Sandersonia saw her sister easily defeat Gekko Moriah and habitually began to praise her.
"It's nothing, it's all thanks to Lord Nox, it doesn't have much to do with me. Will Lord Nox really look at me differently?"
Praised by her sister like this, Hancock, who was just the cold and arrogant Empress, instantly turned into a shy girl. This sudden change made even her sisters, who were used to it, a little slow to react.
With Gekko Moriah's death, the remaining Pirates also did not escape the Kuja Pirates' slaughter.
However, the Kuja Pirates only simply cleared out Gekko Moriah's main members. They didn't bother with those who were hiding deeper, as they were a group of women who truly disliked this environment. After seeing that things were mostly done, they set sail and left.
"Yohohoho, my shadow is finally back, this is great!"
"As soon as my shadow returned, I could see such beautiful women, this is simply too fortunate!"
"What a pity, these beautiful women are truly terrifying. They can turn people into stone, even zombies can't escape it. My skeleton body probably can't avoid it either, so it's better not to go out!"
A skeleton, Brook, excitedly held a telescope he got from who knows where, secretly observing Hancock and her group leaving.
If another group had come instead, he might have hitched a ride to leave this place.
Unfortunately, after seeing Hancock's disgusted expression and a ship full of women, although Brook was very eager to get on that ship, his survival instinct sobered him up, and he didn't do something that would lead to his demise.
