Chapter 169 Susanoo, Upgrade!
"Big—big fragrant feet?"
A question mark appeared above west Yan's head.
Is this guy's move names also this narcissistic?
As Hancock drew ever closer, west Yan was speechless for a moment.
The next moment—
"bump!"
Those two long, imposing legs, brimming with domineering power, struck Xi Yan's Susanoo with an incredibly terrifying force, actually shattering it!
"Click~"
"boom!!"
"Varied......?!"
Seeing Susanoo shattered by a single kick, west Yan's pupils constricted, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The initial stage of Susanoo... is it really that fragile?!
It was actually smashed by the opponent with a single kick?
However, the next moment, west Yan realized why his Susanoo had been shattered by the opponent, because... the power of that kick was truly terrifying!
"bump!!"
The high heel that had shattered Susanoo was placed squarely on Xiyan's chest.
"puff!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.
"Whoosh~"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
Like a cannonball, west Yan smashed several large trees before landing on a boulder, where he became firmly embedded.
"boom!!"
"call...
After finishing this task, Hancock gradually stabilized her breathing.
Launching an attack of this level consumes a significant amount of Haki.
"I wonder if this kid will survive being sent flying by that blow."
Thinking of this, Hancock frowned.
She didn't care whether the other party lived or died, but she didn't want her subordinates to be controlled forever.
Just then, Hancock's Observation Haki detected that the Western Flame embedded in the stone had disappeared, causing her pupils to shrink instantly.
"The text disappeared so suddenly."
Damn it, what's going on?
The next moment, Hancock's Observation Haki detected Xiyan's location, and she subconsciously looked at the tree trunk to the side.
"That really was... a merciless attack." Standing on the tree trunk, Xi Yan squinted at Hancock and said, "You almost killed me."
Despite this, Xi Yan appeared completely unharmed, and even his clothes were clean.
This scene completely stunned Hancock.
"Are you kidding me?!"
"What exactly is your ability?!"
Why does the other person seem completely unharmed?
It's like...::.The time I hit the opponent was just an illusion...:
But how is that possible?!
I can clearly perceive everything around me, which means that I cannot be trapped in some kind of hallucination.
But... Hancock still couldn't understand what was going on with Xiyan.
At that moment, Hancock recalled what Xiyan had said before.
(Because I am invincible.)
Invincible?
Is this guy really invincible?
"No...that's not right!!"
Hancock, calm down and think about it carefully.
There is no such thing as true invincibility in this world; the opponent must have used some method that I am unaware of.
After thinking for a moment, Hancock said, "Is it something like... a substitution ability?"
That must be it!
After all... Paramecia-type Devil Fruits are incredibly diverse, and any kind of Devil Fruit ability is possible!
"Oh?"
west Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "Is that what you think?"
"But unfortunately, you guessed wrong."
"Even if it isn't, it should be a similar ability," Hancock said. "And such an ability must have a limit on the number of uses."
She didn't believe that the ability to die indefinitely truly existed in this world, so... if she could just kill this guy in front of her a few more times, she could finally defeat him completely.
Thinking of this, Hancock's eyes immediately sharpened.
"Then you should give it a try," west Yan said, looking at Hancock. "Let's see if your conclusions are correct!"
As soon as he finished speaking, west Yan returned to the ground and then quickly rushed towards Hancock.
While running, west Yan wrapped his fists with Armament Haki.
"A battle of sheer power and might?"
As west Yan drew closer, Hancock seemed to sense his intentions. She immediately wrapped her long legs in Haki and then delivered a powerful whip kick!
"Armed Superhuman Strength Fist!"
"Fragrant feet!"
"Clang!"
"Click click click..."
"What?"
As he watched his fist gradually turn into stone, a strange glint flashed in west Yan's eyes.
A fist enveloped in Haki...: ...Even the power of a Devil Fruit can affect this?
Isn't Haki supposed to be a powerful tool to counter Devil Fruit abilities?
"You think you can resist my abilities with just Haki?" Hancock sneered. "How naive."
"Domineering...: ...Even strength has its weaknesses!"
"Clang~"
"boom!!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hancock used her long legs to shatter Xiyan's petrified arm completely!
Then, the signs of petrification began to spread to other parts of the body, clearly indicating that Hancock intended to control Westflame.
However, west Yan didn't pay attention to this change; he was pondering the relationship between Haki and Devil Fruits.
"In other words, when the opponent's Haki is stronger than one's own, the Devil Fruit ability can be effective..." west Yan murmured to himself.
However... this woman's domineering aura was so strong, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.
Judging from this, this guy is much stronger than Moria and Crocodile!
It's at least at the level of a bear!
No...: In a sense, this woman's abilities are even more troublesome than a bear's.
After all... not everyone is like him, completely ignoring the other person's charm.
It's a pity I never witnessed the sheer power of the bear's aura; otherwise, I would have known who was stronger, him or this woman.
west Yan murmured to himself.
"Click click click~"
While west Yan was thinking, Hancock placed her hand on west Yan's shoulder and activated her ability again.
Moments later, most of west Yan's body was petrified, leaving only his head that could move.
Then, Hancock wrapped her Haki around her hands and gripped Xiyan's shoulders tightly.
Glancing at the hand resting on his shoulder, west Yan asked, "What do you mean?"
"I just don't want you to activate your ability." Hancock said, grabbing Xiyan's shoulder. "Alright, enough talk, just release your ability now."
"Otherwise... I'll smash your body to pieces, leaving only your head."
"This... will make you wish you were dead!"
Looking at Hancock's devilish smile, west Yan's lips twitched and he said, "What a twisted sense of humor."
Only a head was left?
That was truly worse than death.
However, the power of the Devil Fruit is indeed very magical. Right now, he can't feel any other part of his body at all, just like... he's been given anesthesia.
This feeling... is quite interesting.
"You're not afraid?"
"I never said you could effectively target me like this," west Yan said with a smirk. "Guess if I can be resurrected?"
Upon hearing this, Hancock was immediately rendered speechless.
Then, she channeled her domineering aura into her long legs, and delivered a knee strike to west Yan.
"Click~"
"bump!!"
The force was so great that it shattered the stone statue to pieces!
Watching her head slowly fall to the ground, Hancock coldly said, "I refuse to believe..."
"Buzz~"
Before Hancock could finish speaking, she noticed that the rubble on the ground and Xiyan's head twisted together and then disappeared.
Hancock: !!!
Damn it... Is it happening again?
With that thought in mind, Hancock quickly began using her Observation Haki to search for Xiyan's whereabouts.
Soon, she found Xi Yan on a small hill.
"Even his domineering aura couldn't restrain him."
Hancock's expression immediately turned cold after glancing at the unharmed West Flame.
"Obviously, you're wrong."
"Then I will continue to smash you to pieces!" Hancock said coldly.
At worst, she'd just have to fight it out physically, for days and nights, and she refused to believe she couldn't beat this guy to death.
With that thought in mind, Hancock rushed toward Xiyan.
"Earth Release: Earth Splitting Technique!!"
"boom!!"
As west Yan slammed his hands on the ground, the ground beneath Hancock's feet suddenly cracked open, like a giant abyss maw extending a deadly invitation to her!
"Varied......?!""
Hancock, whose feet had suddenly lost their footing, flashed a look of shock in her eyes.
Why does the ground crack?
Wait...did they just mention Earth Escape?
So, is this guy a legendary ninja?
Is he the kind of ninja who has mastered all kinds of ninjutsu?
"I thought it was just a story, but I never expected that there really are ninjas..." Hancock murmured to herself.
If the other party is indeed a ninja, then taking them down will probably not be an easy task.
And this... is probably why the opponent can keep resurrecting.
No... This isn't the time to think about that. We should be figuring out how to escape from here!
As her body fell, Hancock's eyes also fell on the huge opening below.
She then raised her arm, simultaneously imbuing her abdomen and fist with an aura of dominance.
Although she didn't know what kind of effect the following thing would have, she had no intention of experimenting on other people's ninjutsu!
Thinking of this, Hancock punched herself in the stomach, the immense force sending her flying through the empty air!
"Whoosh~"
"boom!!"
It smashed a large crater into a small mound in the distance!
The moment she flew out, the huge gash beneath her feet closed rapidly, narrowly missing her leg.
"Wow, that's quite a decisive fighting style," west Yan said, withdrawing his hand. "To actually use that method to send himself flying..."
He originally planned to subdue Hancock and then use Susanoo to knock her unconscious.
And so the battle ended.
To his surprise, this guy actually punched him so decisively!
"Using the power of his fist to send himself flying...::. That's indeed a good method."
If it cannot fly, this is the optimal solution.
This Shichibukai... is really decisive!
"call.
Hancock, having managed to stabilize her breathing, immediately jumped out of the pit, fearing that the other party would use earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic in Chinese fantasy novels) to bury her again.
Then, she watched west Yan warily, while using her Observation Haki to observe the changes on the ground.
She would immediately dodge at the slightest sign of unusual activity.
"Don't worry, I won't use that earth-遁术 (earth-遁术) again," west Yan said.
Hancock merely sneered at this, not truly believing Xiyan's words.
After all... they are enemies!
west Yan didn't care, since he didn't expect the other party to believe him anyway.
After shaking his head, west Yan thought to himself, "Let's try upgrading Susanoo."
If we can increase the strength of Susanoo in one battle, then this battle will not have been in vain.
Thinking of this, west Yan's eyes narrowed, and he began to activate his pupil power and chakra.
The next moment, the pale golden skeleton and arms reappeared on Xi Yan's body, protecting him firmly inside.
"It's this thing again. :::"
Seeing the familiar skeleton, Hancock frowned, thinking, "But... if he uses this, he won't be able to use his other abilities, right?"
At that moment, Hancock thought of the time when the other person punched her and sent her sliding backward.
After the opponent's main body launched the attack, the huge skeleton began to dissipate.
That means the opponent might not be able to use their abilities simultaneously!
In that case, he won't be able to use that earth-遁 (earth-遁) technique!
"Of course, it's also possible he did it on purpose to show me, so... we shouldn't let our guard down."
Thinking of this, Hancock subconsciously glanced at the ground.
west Yan didn't pay attention to Hancock's little tricks, but was thinking about his own abilities.
Although I haven't had the Mangekyou Sharingan for very long, after two battles, I've become increasingly proficient in using my eye power. Xi Yan murmured to himself, "It should work!"
With this in mind, west Yan increased the output of his pupil power and the release of his chakra.
Soon, Susanoo began to change!
"Click click click~"
With a clanging sound of bones colliding, the pale golden Susanoo changed, transforming from its original skull arms and skeleton into the entire upper body of a skull!
Susanoo, upgrade!
"At this moment, west Yan felt an even more intense pain acting on his body, which made him subconsciously frown."
Does the pain Susanoo endure double with each power-up?
Is it because I'm not skilled enough, or is this a characteristic of mine?
As he felt this power eroding his body, west Yan's brows furrowed even deeper.
Forget it, let's finish this fight first.
"Why has it changed again?"
Hancock watched Xiyan warily, wondering what tricks he was up to this time.
Seeing west Yan frown, Hancock began to have some guesses.
"Could it be... that this guy is under a lot of pressure when using this ability?"
Ha, it seems her guess was correct; the other party's ability is also limited!
That's good... Now we'll see who gives up first.
Just then, Hancock noticed that the way the other person was looking at her... had become extremely excited.
That look in his eyes didn't seem to harbor any evil intentions; rather, it was as if he had spotted some interesting prey!
This discovery made Hancock's face turn ugly.
"Are they using me as a whetstone?!"
That despicable man! She's a Shichibukai!
"Aren't you going to continue the attack?" west Yan grinned and said, "The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for you~"
"Mind your own business!"
Hancock took a sip, but she didn't fly into a rage; instead, she gradually calmed down.
After glancing at west Yan's Susanoo, Hancock thought to herself, "This guy's lower body is unprotected."
Let's find an opportunity to break in from below!
Thinking of this, Hancock glanced at the surroundings in the distance, and a few thoughts began to form in her mind.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
"Why did you go to the back mountain, sister?" Marigold asked, frowning.
Although my older sister's place isn't particularly far from the back mountain, she shouldn't have run this fast.
Could it be... that it flew off?
However, the moment that thought crossed Marigold's mind, she crushed it, because it was absolutely impossible!
My sister is so strong, even a vice admiral in the navy wouldn't be a match for her, how could anyone possibly knock her away?
"I don't know, but we'll find out when we get there," Sandasonia said.
Just then, Sandasonia noticed a strange figure, which made her stop immediately.
"What's wrong, Sister Sandasonia?"
"Marigold...that's a man, isn't it?"
Marigold: ? ? ?
Following Sandasonia's finger, Marigold immediately noticed the shadow on the house. After examining it closely, her pupils contracted, and she exclaimed, "This... this is definitely a man!"
"That's Grandma's house..." Sandasonia frowned. "Is this the man who came to my sister's place just now?"
But that doesn't make sense. If the other person is that person, then...: Why is my sister gone?
Thinking of this, Sandasonia called out to the woman who had just reported the problem to them, and said, "Is this the man who went to find my sister with Grandma?"
Upon hearing this, the woman squinted at Luffy, then exclaimed in shock, "No... it's not him..."
Upon hearing this, everyone around was stunned.
Why is there another man here?
"I don't know, but since Lord Sandasonia said he's a man, then he must be."
"Lord Sandersonia, what should we do?"
"That was truly an embarrassment..." Sandasonia said coldly, "When has such a thing ever happened on Amazon Lily?"
It's unbelievable that two men were allowed to infiltrate this place.
Thinking of this, Sandasonia said, "Marigorud, go to the back mountain to find my sister, I'll go and capture this man."
"yes!"
Without further ado, Marigold led a group of people away.
Sandersonia, meanwhile, walked step by step toward Luffy.
She didn't know why the other person was at her mother-in-law's place, but... once she caught the other person, everything would become clear!
Thinking of this, Sandersonia quickly rushed towards Luffy.
"Hey, Luffy, don't stay on the roof!" Little Merry, looking up at Luffy on the roof from the yard, said, "Have you forgotten what Grandma said?"
My mother-in-law said that we shouldn't go outside unless absolutely necessary.
Otherwise, it could easily cause some trouble, and things might get out of control.
"How can I possibly sit still in the house at a time like this?!" Luffy said, grabbing his hair.
He was eager to know how things were going with west Yan, and whether they had managed to obtain the permanent log pointer for the Navy Headquarters.
If they can get their hands on it, they can set off to rescue Ace right now.
If we can't get it... we'll still go!
Looking at Luffy's expression, Merry sighed.
If it weren't for west Yan and Granny Za's warnings, Luffy probably would have already run away.
"I see, men are all impatient creatures." Outside the door, the woman who had been secretly observing the room took out a small notebook and began to record the information she had gathered.
The others were also watching Luffy with great interest, observing his every move.
"Why does this guy look like a monkey?"
"That's true."
"Haha, maybe all men are like monkeys?"
"Hmm, it's not impossible."
Just then, Margaret, carrying food, walked over from a distance and was stunned when she saw Luffy standing on the roof.
Then, she quickly ran into the yard and said, "Come down quickly, what happened? Didn't Grandma say..."
Before Margaret could finish speaking, Luffy suddenly jumped down from the roof.
The next moment...
"boom!!"
With a loud bang, a hole was gradually punched into Grandma's roof!
"Huh?!?!"
Margaret stared blankly at the heights, wondering where this attack was coming from.
Merry was also stunned, not knowing why Luffy was being attacked.
"Whoosh~"
"Click~"
Luffy, who had landed on the ground, stared intently at the direction of the gate.
No, to be precise, it was behind those women.
"Who are you, and why are you attacking me?" Luffy asked, frowning.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that question?"
Sandersonia looked coldly at Luffy and said, "Don't you know the taboos of Amazon Lily?!"
As they spoke, the woman standing beside her drew her bow again, aiming at Luffy.
Perhaps sensing Sandersonia's murderous intent, Luffy adjusted his hat and said, "I don't want to get into a conflict with you. I just want to get the Permanent Log Pose to Marine Headquarters."
"Then stop dreaming," Sandasonia said coldly. "There's no way we'll give that thing to you."
Upon hearing this, Luffy's expression immediately changed.
"you...
"Just surrender obediently!"
Sandasonia, whose body had transformed into a python, rushed into the courtyard.
The moment he got close to Luffy, he raised his arm and struck him.
"boom!!"
The fist, brimming with domineering power, punched a massive crater into the ground!
"What terrifying power..."
.
Luffy, who had jumped onto the wall, looked at Sandersonia warily. Was the opponent's attack power a little too strong?
"Lord Sandasonia, he is Grandma's guest."
"Shut up," Sandasonia said, glaring at Margaret. "Are you trying to protect a man?"
Upon hearing this, Margaret froze on the spot.
Seeing Margaret's reaction, Sandasonia ignored her and then glanced at Mary, saying, "This is a child from the village, isn't she? Take her away from here and don't get in our way of catching this man."
Upon hearing Sandasonia's words, Mary instinctively wanted to open her mouth to refute, but Margaret quickly covered her mouth.
"Yes, Lord Sandasonia."
After saying that, Margaret turned and left with Mary.
Luffy breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this.
It seems the other party's target is him... That's fine, it saves Mary from getting hurt.
Thinking this, Luffy quickly ran off into the distance, saying, "If you're so capable, then catch me!"
He will stall for time as much as possible before west Yan returns!
"Ha, trying to outrun me?" Sandasonia sneered. "You underestimate pythons."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sandersonia quickly climbed up the wall and chased after Luffy at an extremely fast speed.
However, before leaving, Sandasonia still ordered, "Surround and kill this man!"
"clear!"
