One piece :Nox ( Before Dawn)

Sal slowly said:

"Boa Hancock, you are such a vile woman."

At this blunt statement, Hancock's face darkened, but she quickly regained her usual expression. Her eyes were seductive and charming, and her demeanor was regal. She held her head and chest high, displaying her enticing curves to Sal.

"No matter what I do, the world will forgive me because I am so beautiful, isn't that right, man?"

"Uh... Kuja Queen ..."

"..."

Hancock's allure, as always, completely captivated the people of Amazon Lily. Sal was stunned, watching the proceedings. Surprised during their first encounter, he now felt a dislike for this woman's character.

"I don't think so. I'd gladly beat you right now. You deserve it."

Once again, her charm was ignored. Hancock didn't pretend. Angry, she gnawed at her long nails. Waving her hand, she thrust her left and right hands forward.

"Come on, Sandersonia, Marigold, take this guy's head."

Sandersonia, the second sister of the Boa trio, and Marigold, the third sister, simultaneously leaped into the dueling arena. In front of Sal, they transformed into two 30-meter-tall giant snakes, both of which were variations of the snake snake Fruit Ability.

The sinister snakeheads with wide-open jaws replied:

"Yes, sister." x2

Without stopping, they immediately attacked, swinging their long snake tails with such force that the arena shook several times.

The smoke and dust cleared, and Sal calmly stood on top of the two tails. Using Observation Haki, he noted that their speed was too slow.

"You are too slow."

The sisters didn't respond, but gritting their teeth, they kept attacking.

While Sal dodged the halberd attack, the venom sprayed from Marigold's mouth missed its target. For a while, the two snakes could only circle the dueling arena, unable to land a single hit.

As he evaded, Sal recalled information about them. The Devil Fruits of the three Boa sisters were apparently given to them by the Celestial Dragons after they became their slaves. The goal was purely out of curiosity; they wanted to have slaves in various forms. They truly are scum those Celestial Dragons. More than a hundred million Devil Fruits were wasted in such a manner.

Two of them had also awakened Haki.

Armament Haki and Observation Haki, but each has their own unique strengths.

Sandersonia, with green hair, possesses mid-level Observation Haki, and beginner-level Armament Haki.

Marigold, with her orange hair, possesses mid-level Armament Haki and beginner-level Observation Haki.

With the awakening of dual-color Haki, their power still amounts to roughly 100 million—a supernova level.

In the end, their basic strength is too weak, otherwise, their power wouldn't be so low after awakening Haki.

Seeing their attack easily parried, the sisters' faces grew very serious, and the eldest sister on the throne became increasingly impatient. By this point in the battle, they also realized the difference in speed and didn't dare to hold back their strength, so they used their strongest cards.

"Enveloped by Serpent Hair, Yamata no Orochi!"

"Fire Serpent God!"

Sandersonia's long green hair curled into eight snake heads with green hair. Marigold's entire body was engulfed in bright flames. Both their ultimate attacks simultaneously descended upon Thrall.

The attacks were filled with visual effects, causing many exclamations from the spectators. Seeing that everyone was excited, Sal didn't prolong the fight.

Armament Haki enveloped his two arms, turning them coal-black. He parried the attacking attacks with two strikes, the sky blazed with fire and long hair. Then he instantly leaped above Marigold and struck the unprepared snake. The powerful force made the giant snake fall to the ground and lose consciousness.

Seeing her sister defeated by the opponent, Sandersonia, without hesitation, rushed to attack and shouted:

"You..."

The massive snake body lunged at him. This time Thrall didn't dodge, simply holding out his fist. Under the effect of rapid compression of Armament Haki, black lightning ran across his fist. This was the highest level of Armament Haki usage.

"Serious Punch!"

"Boom..."

The serpent hair was shattered once more, even Sandersonia, raising her arms in defense, was thrown back by the powerful blow. Her clothes were torn, and the enormous snake figure in the air returned to human form. Evidently, she had lost consciousness and fell onto the spikes outside the arena.

Hancock, who was initially anxious, immediately rushed forward upon seeing her sister in danger. But Sal had already got there first, carrying Sandersonia back to the dueling arena.

Seeing that her clothing was already torn and the mark of the Heavenly Dragon's hoof was visible on her back, Sal frowned, took off his coat, and draped it over her to shield her from view.

Whether it was from Roger's memory, or the memory of the people from Earth, the mark of the Heavenly Dragon was still vivid to Sal.

In the silence of the spectators, Hancock approached Sal. The enchanting beauty stood motionless, not attacking, simply gazing at her opponent with complex eyes as she handed Sandersonia to Marigold, who had regained consciousness. After what she had experienced, Hancock no longer felt the murderous intent she initially had, given that he had saved her sister.

"Leave, get off the Island of Nine Snakes, and I'll pretend you were never here."

At that moment, Sal couldn't hear what she was saying; he was simply happily observing the system prompt.

[B-level characters feel neutral emotions towards the Host, moderate surprise, +30X49 experience]

[C-level characters feel neutral emotions towards the Host, moderate surprise, +8X4693 experience]

[Level Up: Level 53 (31691/46000)]

Nearly all the women warriors of the Nine Snakes gathered here gained experience.

Reading the system prompt, Sal turned to Hancock with eyes ablaze. As the right-hand woman, she could generate 40,000 experience points. One could only imagine the effect the most important woman on the Island of Amazon Lily would have.

"What did you just say?"

Seeing that he dared not listen to her, Hancock, always the center of attention, couldn't accept this. Her face darkened once more. As expected, this man was truly detestable.

"I told you to get off the Island of Nine Snakes immediately, or else I'll take action myself..."

Hancock was interrupted by her opponent's even more fervent eyes. She looked at the man in front of her with slight bewilderment. Why was his reaction so strange? Sal didn't care what his opponent was thinking. If they reconciled, he'd have to come up with an excuse to provoke her into a public attack. Now, she'd given him a reason herself. It was as if he had wanted to sleep, and someone had just handed him a pillow.

Sal said seriously, "One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Pirate Queen Hancock, if you want me to leave, just do it."

"You want to fight me?"

"Exactly, I want to see your level, or just one of your moves, that's enough."

Here, Sal was being a bit cunning. Under the current circumstances, Sal could not guarantee he would defeat Hancock without using his trump card. Hancock couldn't comprehend his thoughts. The strength Sal displayed in the skirmish was indeed impressive, but in her opinion, he still wasn't her equal. However, thinking that she could teach this insolent man a lesson, she agreed.

"Since you are asking me so earnestly, I will allow you to fight. Don't blame me if you die."

A gust of wind lifted Hancock's skirt, revealing her perfectly long legs. A commanding aura emanated from her body. She intended to defeat this arrogant man with her strongest power.

Sal's eyes slightly twitched. He was well aware of the aura of her Haki. He knew that the strength of her Haki was at a high level, but she was still far from perfect mastery.

[Level: Level 53+7]

In addition to using magic to enhance the necklace, he also released the highest level of Armament Haki. The Haki Field was under his control and directed straight at the opponent
