**************
Boom!
Like thunder crashing from the skies, Amazon Lily erupted with swirling winds and dark clouds with his yell.
The deafening roar of anger reverberated across the field, leaving the female warriors shaken.
Pale-faced, they trembled as the airwave centered on Colt dispersed the incoming rain of arrows in an instant.
Yet it wasn't conqueror's haki. Just pure aura.
Inside the palace of Amazon Lily,
Hancock, seated regally, had already been informed of an approaching ship.
She dismissed it as trivial and sent her subordinates to repel the intruder, ordering them to kill if it was necessary.
But then came the voice-loud, commanding, and brazen:
"Boa Hancock! If you don't want me to wipe out your warriors, come out now!"
The booming sound shook the palace walls, causing dust to cascade from the ceilings. Hancock's face darkened visibly, and she abruptly stood up, fury blazing in her eyes.
"Where did this madman come from, daring to hurl such insolent words at someone as beautiful as me?!"
Her voice seethed with outrage.
"And worse... that's the voice of a... man!"
Elder Nyon, standing nearby, frowned deeply, her expression serious.
"Hancock, be cautious. It doesn't seem like the voice belongs to someone easy to deal with. If you can, drive them away without escalating this further."
Amazon Lily, nestled within the Calm Belt, was difficult for outsiders to reach.
Yet this man not only managed to arrive but brazenly called Hancock out by name-a clear sign of his strength and confidence.
"Hmph!" Hancock brushed aside a stray lock of hair; her expression filled with self- assuredness.
Her high heels clicked on the floor as she marched toward the entrance, followed closely by her younger sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold.
"You old hag, you should just focus on supporting my decisions instead of nagging as usual." "At any rate, as long as he's a man, he'll bow down before my unparalleled beauty and acknowledge his folly," she said with a haughty smirk.
"After all... I am absolutely Beautiful."
Elder Nyon sighed, shaking her head as she followed with her cane.
A sense of unease lingered in her chest.

After his roaring declaration left the Amazon Lily warriors too frightened to act, Colt stood still, arms crossed, awaiting Hancock's arrival. The female warriors exchanged anxious glances but dared not make the first move.
A tense stalemate ensued, broken only by rustling from the forest.
Colt's gaze shifted upward.
Emerging from the shadows was a majestic pink boa, its head adorned with intricate markings.
Behind it followed long, flawless white legs leading up to the figure of Boa Hancock herself.
With her signature hairstyle, a slit dress that accentuated her beauty, and deep almond- shaped eyes, she exuded an almost divine allure.
Even Colt, who had steeled himself for this encounter, couldn't help but acknowledge her flawless features.
'He's a man as expected, but he seems different than the others, he's a bit interesting to look at...' Hancock murmured inwardly, though her arrogance would never allow her to admit it aloud.
Still, just for that, her anger softened slightly, downgraded from a death sentence to a mere imprisonment.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
That was how she ruled. By her emotions.
"Surrender now, and I may grant leniency to your companions." Her haughty tone carried a cruel edge.
"As for you, you'll spend the rest of your life in prison."
Her voice dripped with pride as she glanced down at Colt, already imagining him as a captive -a trophy for her amusement.
The surrounding female warriors swooned at her words, adoring their empress.
"Hime-sama is so beautiful! She's so magnanimous!"
"My heart can't take this perfection!"
Colt, unimpressed by the theatrics, sighed internally.
He had been demoted in her mind to a trophy prisoner without even a proper introduction.
"I'm here to make a deal, Hancock," he said firmly.
Hancock raised an eyebrow, her arrogance unwavering.
"What gives you the audacity to propose a deal with me? A beautiful empress such as myself
has no need for bargains-whatever I desire is willingly delivered to me."
Colt was annoyed.
The veins in his temple were throbbing.
Despite preparing himself for her vanity, it still tested his patience.
"This woman really needs a lesson," he muttered.
He then looked at her straight and mouthed a certain word.
The rest didn't manage to pick it up, but Hancock and her sisters' expressions shifted sharply.
A single word from Colt had struck a nerve, dredging up painful memories.
"Who are you?!" Her commanding tone betrayed a flicker of fear.
Colt maintained his calm demeanor.
"As I said before, I'm here to make a deal. If you refuse, I'll just resort to violence and take
what I need."
Incensed, Hancock crossed her arms before her chest and unleashed her signature move.
"Mero Mero Mellow!"
A pink light shot toward Colt. He didn't move, allowing it to hit him directly.
Nothing happened.
Hancock froze, her confidence shattered.
"Impossible!" she exclaimed. "How can there be someone immune to my beauty?!"
The female warriors stared at Colt, their expressions incredulous.
"This person, is he even human?!"
"How is he not enchanted by our empress's unrivaled beauty?!"
Colt sighed.
"It seems reasoning with you is just a waste of time."
With a graceful step, Hancock lunged forward, her leg wrapped in [Armament Haki] as she
executed her Perfume Femur attack.
Colt sidestepped effortlessly, catching her ankle in midair.
Before he threw her aside, he paused.
"Boa Hancock... did you clean your feet before you came here?"
Her face contorted in anger at the insult. He was implying that she was dirty.
"You should die!" she screamed, abandoning her usual royal demeanor.
The intensity of her anger activated her Conqueror's Haki, surging in waves that left the
nearby warriors trembling.
Colt smirked, unfazed.
"Conqueror's Haki, huh? It's bold of you to use that against me."
Tossing her aside, he summoned water to wash his hands, an act that further incensed
Hancock.
Then, with a cold glint in his eyes, he muttered:
"I haven't even unleashed mine yet."
The air around him grew heavy, and red energy flickered in his gaze.
For the first time, Colt unleashed his Conqueror's Haki upon this world.
