Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

“We are enemies, why are you protecting me?” Hancock asked.

"What you don't want others to see is a separate matter from this duel."

Luffy glanced at the statue of Margaret beside him, "Besides, you're someone Margaret respects."

This reason is simple, yet it strikes at the softest part of Hancock's heart.

Was it all for others from beginning to end?

Why would a man like that exist?!

After Sonia and Marie dispersed the people, they discovered that their sister, the ever-proud and never-showing-weak pirate empress, was biting her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes, which she was trying hard to hold back.

"No, why are you crying?"

When Luffy saw Hancock's appearance, he was immediately at a loss.

What he fears most now is a woman crying.

If Nami were here, she would definitely grab him by the collar and demand to know what he did to her.

I didn't do anything.

Hancock bit her lower lip, on the verge of tears.

"Never mind, you should remove Margaret's petrification first."

Luffy tried to change the subject, returning to his initial demand, "And the ship. As a pirate, you should know what losing this battle means, right?"

The victor has the right to dominate; that is the rule of the sea.

Hancock took a deep breath, trying to calm her turbulent emotions. Looking around, she saw that the area had been cleared and whispered, "Let me go first."

Luffy did as he was told and released his rubber arm.

Sonia immediately stepped forward and draped a complete new coat over Hancock's shoulders.

Hancock, now dressed, stared at Luffy for a long time before making an unexpected move.

She suddenly released her hand from her chest, then faced Luffy, slightly loosened the collar of her newly donned coat, revealing a small patch of snow-white skin below her collarbone and the deep cleavage, her eyes fixed intently on Luffy.

Perona covered her face beside her, her fingers revealing large gaps.

Is this...is this something I can watch?

"Hey! You want to fight?"

Luffy immediately became wary, thinking she was still unwilling to admit defeat.

He had already figured out a little bit about this woman's abilities.

"No, I remember you said that before,"

Hancock shook her head, her voice carrying an unusual emotion. "Where have you seen this symbol before?"

As she spoke, she turned around, her back to Luffy, and then pulled down her clothes a little to completely reveal the ugly hoof-shaped mark deeply engraved on her snow-white skin.

Sky Soaring Dragon's Hoof!

Luffy stared at the mark for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, then clapped his hands: "It is indeed somewhat similar to the mark on Hachi, but not quite the same."

The image of Xiao Ba appeared in his mind.

"Hachi?" Hancock's body trembled, and she turned around abruptly.

“He’s a fish-man, I guess you could call him a friend,” Luffy explained.

Just then, an aged voice came from the shadows:

"Snake Princess, be honest. You can deceive the people of this country, but you can't deceive yourselves."

Grandma Niu slowly walked out, leaning on her snake-head cane.

She looked at Luffy with a complicated expression: "You're a pirate, Monkey D. Luffy, right?"

Luffy was somewhat surprised, "You know me?"

Granny New didn't answer directly, but glanced at Luffy's iconic straw hat, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes:

"Indeed, this straw hat suits a capable man like you perfectly."

Luffy was even more surprised: "You actually said the same thing as Rayleigh!"

"Have you already met Rayleigh?"

Granny New smiled and then introduced herself, "I am Gloriosa, the former, former, former emperor of Amazon Lily. Rayleigh and we have a fairly good relationship."

"Oh? I'm really sorry."

Luffy scratched his head, surprised that they had this connection with Rayleigh.

Rayleigh was their great benefactor.

Thinking about how I had just beaten them all up, I felt a little embarrassed.

This man was so domineering just a moment ago, but now he's apologizing with such a sweet and innocent look on his face?

Hancock looked at Luffy and felt that she couldn't see through the man in front of her at all.

Grandma New sighed and said, "What you guys did in the Sabaody Archipelago has already caused a huge uproar all over the world."

She waved the newspapers she had been holding in her hand.

Luffy's eyes lit up as he looked at the newspaper in Granny New's hand: "Can I take a look?"

He hasn't heard anything from the outside world for days.

I wonder what's going on with my friends now, and if there's any news about them in the newspapers.

I doubt it will happen.

Everyone should have gone to the place that suits them best.

"what happened?"

Perona also floated over curiously.

She has been completely isolated from the outside world ever since she was photographed here by a bear.

Granny New handed the newspaper to Luffy, and Perona leaned over to take a look. The eye-catching headline and accompanying picture on the front page almost made her fall out of the air.

Shocking! The Straw Hat Crew Commits atrocities! They beat up a Celestial Dragon, a world-class noble, in the Sabaody Archipelago!

The World Government is enraged! Admirals are deployed!

The Straw Hat Pirates have apparently been completely wiped out by Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

"You, you actually hit a Celestial Dragon?!"

Perona grabbed Luffy by the collar, her voice trembling, "You didn't tell me about this!"

Even she knew what kind of beings the Celestial Dragons were.

"You didn't ask."

Luffy chuckled dismissively, continuing to flip through the newspaper. Then he pouted, "But this newspaper is just like Vivi said, full of fake news. I clearly killed those three guys, so why did it say I knocked them away?"

"Killed, killed?!"

Perona felt a sudden darkness engulf her vision and almost fainted.

"You killed a Celestial Dragon?!"

Her voice was trembling.

This is a million times more serious than simply knocking a Celestial Dragon away!

Hearing this, the three Hancock sisters were also struck dumb, all showing expressions of disbelief.

The Celestial Dragons were killed?

Hancock suddenly rushed in front of Luffy, grabbing his shoulders with both hands, her nails almost digging into his flesh.

"Really? You really killed a Celestial Dragon?!"

"It is indeed true."

Luffy confirmed, then looked helplessly at Hancock who was standing right in front of him, his gaze involuntarily drifting downwards as he reminded her, "But shouldn't you put your clothes on first?"

This woman's figure and appearance are simply too unfair.

Chapter 332 A Worldview Shaken, The Man Who Challenged Heaven and Killed Heaven

There's a reason why Hancock is called the most beautiful woman in the world.

She has a tall and slender figure of 191cm and a very good figure.

Her long, jet-black hair, styled in a Hime cut, looked slightly disheveled after her battle with Luffy.

Deep blue eyes, long and delicate at the corners, almond-shaped eyes that usually held a cold expression, but now revealed an expression of utter shock.

Her soft, wrinkle-free lips moved up and down so beautifully that it made you want to taste them.

Especially now that she's emotionally agitated and disheveled in front of him.

That breathtaking beauty and allure—if it weren't for the constant processing of pain signals in his brain, Luffy felt he might not have been able to resist.

However, Hancock couldn't care less about any of that at the moment.

Killed a Celestial Dragon?

The world nobleman she hated to the core, yet dared not even entertain the thought of resistance, was actually killed by the man before her?

Besides shock, an extremely complex emotion welled up in her eyes.

There was a sense of exhilaration, disbelief, and a slight flutter of excitement that even she herself couldn't understand.

"He's telling the truth."

Grandma New took out another slightly worn newspaper from her person. "This is an original report that I obtained through special channels and that has not been reviewed by the World Government."

She handed the newspaper to Hancock.
