Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 306 Pirate Empress: Is this all the Five Elders are?

He saw that there were no enemies left in front of him.

Bane's expression remained unchanged. Following the aura of Im that he had sensed earlier, he was in no hurry. As if strolling leisurely through the battlefield, he slowly walked towards Mary Geoise and toward Pangel Castle.

It seemed that they noticed his actions.

With a fang thrust that knocked Garp aside, Vochuli immediately shouted, "Stop Bane! Don't forget who we need to deal with!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Vochuli Saint twisted his limbs and his massive body tried to chase after Bane.

It had only taken two steps when it felt a sharp pain in its tail, forcing it to halt its charge.

Turning around, he saw Garp grabbing his pig tail, a smug grin on his face, and saying, "Don't even think about running away! I haven't met a tough, indestructible punching bag like you in ages!!!"

"Garp!!!" Vochuli Saint angrily kicked Garp from behind, trying to force him away.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, a fragrant breeze wafted over.

The moment he caught a whiff of the fragrance, Sacred Vochuli felt his heart skip a beat. Even though he hadn't seen anything yet, it was as if some desire within him had been stirred.

The moment this desire was aroused, he instinctively sensed a deadly threat and immediately tried to suppress the inexplicable desire rising in his heart.

However, in the next instant, a pair of smooth and long legs appeared in his sight.

Compared to the fragrance I had smelled before, this leg seemed to possess a more lethal allure.

"Boa Hancock!!?" Sacred Vochuli instantly recognized the woman who had risen into the air, dressed in a graceful cheongsam, exuding boundless charm from head to toe.

As one of the Five Elders, what riches and honors hasn't he enjoyed? What beauties hasn't he seen?

At this age, having seen countless storms and waves, yet, in this instant, my gaze was involuntarily drawn to the absolute territory beneath the cheongsam, which was barely visible, and I instinctively wanted to see it clearly.

He knew in his heart that he was bewitched by Hancock's power and wanted to wake up, but he could not control his desires.

And it is precisely those who have long held the highest position of power, act without restraint, and get whatever they want, that find it most difficult to control their desires.

"Big Fragrant Kick!!!" Hancock shouted, and in an instant, she kicked Vochury right in the middle of his forehead.

The petrifying power of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit erupted instantly. Volchury's expression twisted into a ferocious grimace, but two uncontrollable hearts materialized in his eyes. His enormous fangs opened wide, and he roared, "Bastard!"

However, before he could finish speaking, petrification rapidly spread from the spot on his forehead where Hancock had kicked him, completely covering his enormous warthog body in the blink of an eye, turning him into a lifelike statue.

At the same time, Hancock landed lightly on Sacred Volcholl's forehead, standing on one leg with the other leg slightly bent at the knee, her legs crossed, her cheongsam fluttering in the wind, a long snake like her personal pet circling around her side, her whole being both heroic and full of sexy charm.

Like a queen standing at the top of the world, Hancock reached out and stroked her pet Salome.

Hancock glanced at Garp, then arrogantly raised her chin and said, "What? Seeing how evenly you two are fighting, I thought they were some kind of powerful bunch. They're just a bunch of rude scoundrels."

Even Garp felt a sense of crisis when facing Hancock, but compared to the Five Elders, who were powerful figures who could not control their desires, Garp adjusted his mindset almost instantly.

"Hahaha, the Empress of Amazon Lily truly lives up to her reputation. No wonder Borsalino and that guy Aramu both suffered at your hands," Garp said with a loud laugh.

After speaking, his expression gradually became serious. Looking at the petrified Vorchury Saint by Hancock, he said with a hint of surprise, "Still not recovered? I see. So, apart from Bane's Dark-Dark Fruit, your Love-Love Fruit ability is also a terrifying fatal weakness for this kind of 'immortality'?"

Petrochemical!

It did not possess the terrifying ability to seize the opponent's life force. At this moment, Sacred Worchul was dead, but not completely dead.

In the blink of an eye, Hancock could fully recover without any loss of vitality. Moreover, even if he was shattered, he would only be harmed at the moment Hancock released his petrification ability.

At this moment, Schrödinger's Worchli Saint is in a state of being under strict control; whether he is dead or alive is temporarily uncertain.

It was precisely because of this strange state that the surging life force he received from Im had no room to be exerted. After all, he was neither injured nor dying, but petrified and fixed in this state.

"Hancock, your abilities can completely counter their immortality, go help!" Garp shouted immediately after realizing what was happening.

Standing atop the giant warthog statue, Hancock frowned slightly as she listened to Garp's shouts, and said with some displeasure, "Are you ordering me around?"

Her original target wasn't even the Five Elders; she wanted to storm into the God's Abode and wipe out all those damned Celestial Dragons who were like termites.

But the pace of the war was not subject to her will. The Five Elders, who were supposed to remain firmly in Pangel Castle and were even being discussed at the meeting as possibly abandoning Mary Geoise and evacuating directly, actually arrived at the city walls, the front line of the war, at the first opportunity, hindering their advance into Mary Geoise.

In this situation, Hancock could not possibly turn a blind eye, so she seized an opportunity and took action to kill Vorchury Saint.

She retorted to Garp, but Hancock also harbored hatred for the Celestial Dragons, who were at the pinnacle of power. If it weren't for their leniency, how could ordinary Celestial Dragons be so hated?

"Be careful of that pirate empress. Sacred Volchury is such a waste. Even knowing she's an enemy, she still can't control her lust!" Maz, who was fighting Sakazuki, warned angrily from the air.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hancock pushed off with her feet, shattering the boar-headed statue and creating cracks. At the same time, her slender figure launched into the air and flew towards the transformed Il-Ryū-Tenma-Sei. Her body was once again enveloped in a pink halo, transforming into a tangible charm bomb, which she then kicked out.

At the same time, she said arrogantly, "If my charm can be resisted simply by knowing that 'I am the enemy,' then you are greatly underestimating my beauty. Strange bird, am I beautiful?"

As she spoke, Hancock's figure swayed gracefully in the air, revealing her alluring curves. At the same time, the arrogance on her face vanished, replaced by a shy and slightly aggrieved expression, as if she had been hurt by Mazsaint's insults.

Normally, even with Hancock's beauty, such an action wouldn't be able to truly shake the heart of a top-tier powerhouse. But her beauty perfectly complements the power of her Love-Love Fruit, creating a harmonious and seamless whole, as if made by nature itself.

Even Maz, who was just a second ago reminding his colleagues and secretly cursing Volcholi Saint as a useless piece of trash who couldn't resist beauty, paused in mid-air after seeing Hancock's actions.

It felt as if an uncontrollable desire was about to erupt from the depths of my heart.

He suddenly felt that deadly threat and wanted to break free from the shackles of this desire, but when he saw Hancock's weak and slightly sad expression, his heartbeat became involuntarily out of rhythm.

"Damn it." Maz Saint quickly looked away, trying to avoid Hancock's charm.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

But it was too late!

"You're tempted, aren't you, you stubborn old man!" Hancock's previously 'mournful and aggrieved' expression instantly vanished, her eyes turning disgusted and fierce. She conjured a heart shape in her hand and said, "Sweetie."

"Oh no!" Maz Saint's expression turned ferocious as he flapped his wings, trying to escape.

But it was too late. His movements froze, and he felt that certain parts of his body were no longer under his control—the wings!

Then, petrification spread from his wings and almost instantly covered him completely, turning him into a strange stone bird sculpture in mid-air before he fell downwards.

At the same time, Sakazuki roared, "Rock Burst!!!"

The scorching magma fist slammed into the Maz Holy Stone Sculpture, which was about to hit the ground. The surging magma power immediately exploded, shattering the stone sculpture into pieces that scattered on the ground.

Even so, as long as Hancock doesn't break free of petrification, Maz Saint cannot be considered truly dead. Therefore, he is not considered injured right now, and like Volchuli Saint, his rich and surging life force cannot be exerted at all.

With Garp and Sakazuki, two top-tier combatants, freed from the battle, and Hancock, a powerful weapon, waiting to strike, the situation became even more dire.

The remaining three of the Five Elders had no chance of turning the tide after Sakazuki and Garp rejoined the battle. Even though they forcibly suppressed their attention with their injuries and deliberately took injuries to avoid being petrified when Hancock attacked, they were still completely powerless to stop Bane from getting away.

Compared to the brutal battlefield outside the city, Mary Geoise still maintains its 'prosperous' appearance. The streets are still so clean, and even when it is deserted, it has the feel of a work of art.

Walking through the city of Mary Geoise, passing through the social square, Bann gradually arrived at the front of Pangel Castle.

Since he entered the city, no one has stopped him, which shows that Mary Geoise's power, apart from outside the city, has all been transferred to the God's Abode at the very back.

Stepping through the gates of Pongel Castle, one is greeted by a vast courtyard planted with various precious flowers and plants from all over the world.

Unmoved by the scenery of the courtyard, Bann admired the flowers and plants as he walked deeper into Pangel Castle.

He didn't know where the flowers were.

But there was no need to search for the flowers at this moment. From the moment he stepped into the Pongel Castle, he had already felt the 'invitation' of the owner of this place.

Soon, Bane arrived at the entrance of a grand hall, which did not appear to be the legendary Flower Chamber.

Bane knew where he was; it was a palace containing the Void Throne, which symbolized the supreme power of the world's government and represented "equality, justice, and no dictatorship."

At this moment, the magnificent doors of the hall opened to the left and right, without any intention of concealing anything.

But inside, it seemed to be completely isolated from the outside light, appearing quiet and dark, with faint red lights visible from outside the door.

Standing outside the door, Bane could sense a mysterious aura emanating from within.

That must be Im.

He waited for a moment, but there was no response of "please come in" from inside. This made Bane smile slightly at himself, and then he stepped inside.
