One Piece: Absolute Domination; Reborn as Luffy

Luffy was utterly mesmerized, unable to turn himself away from the vision before him. This was thrilling, exhilarating—a surge of raw energy that he couldn't suppress.

"Hancock," he murmured, taking a step forward, though his feet seemed rooted to the floor as he gazed straight ahead.

Standing there was a breathtaking beauty: Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress. Truly the world's number-one beauty, as they say. He had doubted before—how could there be one single "most beautiful woman" in the world? He figured all the top beauties were on the same level, each uniquely stunning.

But now, he found himself frozen, his doubts vanishing in her presence.

"Luffy~…" Hancock spoke, her voice soft and sweet, melting him on the spot. Her tone was so delicate, so entrancing. She didn't seem to need him to exercise any Conqueror's Haki to command her loyalty. It was as if her love for him was pure and instinctual. She was completely devoted, and it felt natural, an unbreakable bond.

Boa Hancock's eyes sparkled with tears, as though she hadn't seen him in centuries. She approached him with a joyful, lighthearted step, like a graceful bird, each step resonating in his heart. He was beyond words now, feeling his heart pound with a heat he couldn't control. Her beauty was overwhelming, far beyond what he'd seen in any portrayal of her in his past life.

The light scent she wore seemed to invade his senses, a soft perfume that was both gentle and enticing. In his past life, he'd once heard someone say that a light fragrance could evoke desire in a man's heart. At the time, he hadn't believed it. But now… now he knew it was true.

"Wow," he murmured, almost in awe. Just standing there, she had awakened something inside him.

Finally, Hancock reached him, smiling as she looked him up and down. "You've grown taller," she commented in a soft voice that sent a wave of chaos through Luffy's mind.

"Uh…" Luffy stammered, trying to focus as she studied him with a slight frown.

"Is your outfit not the right size? Why does it look… like that?" she asked, in a simple, clear tone that made him feel shy and embarrassed, though he quickly composed himself.

"No, no, it fits fine," he muttered, glancing down in surprise. "Just… my emotions, I guess."

Hancock tilted her head, clearly confused, and repeated that his outfit must be the wrong size. "Otherwise, how could it be, well, that way?"

"Luffy…" she continued with a mischievous grin. "Earlier, when I arrived, I saw the others practicing those squats for training. Honestly, I wanted to join in, too," she admitted. "They even taught me how."

Luffy smiled, not too surprised, as he nodded. "Yeah, Hancock, your soldiers did well! I saw one of them get up to two hundred reps—she really amazed everyone. Quite a remarkable girl."

Though he meant it as a compliment, he noticed Hancock's smile falter a bit, her expression turning slightly sullen. He realized his mistake—complimenting her subordinates, however well-meaning, wasn't the best move, considering she was the Empress.

Quickly, he added, "But of course, Hancock, you're even more amazing. The best, right?"

Hancock's face softened, a smile returning as she nodded, saying, "Yes! I'm the best, Luffy! I did three hundred reps!"

Luffy's mind was blown—three hundred squats? Hancock doing that many? It was incredible on every level. Mentally, physically—how did she handle it?

"I'm going to change into something special," Hancock said, turning around with a teasing smile. "The others said you'd be back at the cabin soon, so… I thought I'd put on something nice."

Luffy nodded, mesmerized as she gave him a chance to appreciate her beauty. Dressed in such an elegant and stylish outfit, she looked incredible, every bit as captivating as she imagined she'd be. It was enough to make him feel on the edge.

Hancock spoke up again. "Luffy… I worried it might not suit your taste, so I tried on so many outfits, probably a hundred different ones, before I decided on this one."

Luffy chuckled, understanding. How could she not feel nervous before the man she loved?

Taking her hands gently, he said, "Alright, Hancock, no need for small talk. Show me those three hundred reps—you're ready, right?"

Hancock's eyes sparkled as she nodded. She'd been waiting for this, more eager than he'd realized.

With a small grin, she squatted down effortlessly, performing her squat-dance routine without any weight or equipment. Her speed was astonishing, the squats seeming to blur as she hit three hundred in a flash, leaving Luffy in awe.

Impressed, he said, "Alright, your form was perfect. Now, let's go to the real training."

Turning toward the cabin, he started to walk, expecting she might hesitate. After all, they hadn't used Haki for this, which might have made her reconsider.

But instead, Hancock laughed, clearly thrilled by the challenge.

Hancock quickly caught up to Luffy, calling out, "Luffy!~… Wait for me!"

"Hm?" Luffy suddenly paused, a thought crossing his mind. The cabin was crowded, which might not be ideal. Although he hadn't felt uncomfortable in front of others before, he now sensed that Hancock deserved something more personal, something special. He turned slightly, saying, "How about we go deeper into the forest? It's quieter there. A great place to train."

Hancock immediately agreed, nodding with excitement, and practically skipped forward. "Will training be fun? I can't wait!" She sounded a bit uncertain about what their "training" would entail, but Luffy simply reassured her.

"Hancock, if the others can handle it, there's no question you can too. Trust me," he said, flashing a confident smile that left Hancock momentarily speechless. For a second, it felt like he was radiating light, illuminating everything around him. Luffy was the center of her world, the source of all her joy.

"Luffy~…" Hancock felt her devotion intensify. For this man, she was willing to do anything.

The two of them ventured into the forest, their steps light and easy.

A week passed by in a flash. During this time, the cabin remained eerily quiet. Ever since Luffy had left, he hadn't returned, and the women found themselves missing him deeply. But with Luffy preoccupied with more important matters, they devoted themselves to their training routines.

Practicing their squats, a movement that felt like a connection to Luffy, gave them peace of mind whenever they missed him. But a strange phenomenon had started to unfold, particularly at night. The forest often resounded with powerful noises—explosions and loud thuds echoing in the distance.

"Are people dueling out there?" asked Lori, puzzled.

Aimee shook her head. "No, I think I heard a woman's voice, but… she sounded anything but angry."

The swordswoman added, "No, it wasn't anger—it sounded… joyful. Or maybe…"

She hesitated, struggling to find the right words. "It sounded like she was… overwhelmed, somehow. It's hard to explain."

The archer chimed in, "I tried using Observation Haki to check it out, but I couldn't sense anything. There's some kind of… barrier, I think, blocking us."

Intrigued and slightly unnerved, the women discussed this mysterious sound every night. They even made several attempts to investigate as a group, but always came up empty-handed. Despite the persistent noise, they found nothing out of the ordinary.

One night, the group returned for the tenth time. The sound was unmistakable—thunderous crashing and snapping of trees, punctuated by strange cries.

"Look!" one of them pointed. "That tree's been knocked over! Something big is happening out here, but…"

"But why can't we see anything?" someone else wondered aloud, frustration lacing her voice.

Another added, "This is creepy! There's clearly something happening, but we're totally in the dark. Are we all blind?"

It felt almost supernatural, like they were stumbling around in the dark, unable to discern what was right in front of them.

Meanwhile, Luffy and Hancock continued their intense training, seemingly undisturbed. Hancock glanced toward the others in the distance, frowning slightly. "They're all right over there… do you think they've noticed us?"

Luffy chuckled, "What's there to hide from? Just relax." He leaned closer, whispering, "Hancock, have you noticed? They probably can't see us."

Hancock blinked, taken aback. She scanned the area, realizing that the women were indeed close, maybe only a few meters away, yet they seemed entirely unaware of her and Luffy's presence. It was as if they were truly invisible.

"That's… unbelievable," she murmured, feeling an odd thrill. Somehow, the others couldn't see them, even though they were practically in plain sight. The mystery only added to the intense sensations filling her heart.
