"Who did it?!"
Boa Hancock shot up from her seat, her fury palpable. If there were anyone she cared about more than herself, it was undoubtedly her two younger sisters. And now, with Sandersonia injured, how could she possibly remain calm?
She rushed to check on Sandersonia. Thankfully, it looked like she had only fainted—nothing fatal.
"Who did this?! Was it the person on that ship?!"
Marguerite stood at attention and responded, "Yes, it was the person across from us. She summoned a thunderbird. When Lady Sandersonia tried to resist, sothing went wrong..."
"I will not let them get away with this!" Hancock barked. She ordered the massive Sea King beneath them to speed up. At this point, the Kuja Pirates' ship was just thirty ters away from Vane's vessel.
Kalifa spotted them closing in. She imdiately noticed Boa Hancock, her presence captivating.
"So that's the real Pirate Empress... she's even more beautiful in person!"
Jealousy and anxiety flared in Kalifa's heart. She feared Vane might awaken and beco enamored with Hancock. She couldn't allow that. She needed to defeat the Empress with her own strength.
"No matter what, I can't lose!"
"Thirty Million Volts: Ten-Thousand Thunder!"
Kalifa raised a finger. Instantly, thick black clouds ford above the Kuja Pirates' ship, crackling with thunder and electricity.
"Co near and die! Don't think so highly of yourself!"
Kalifa's voice was cold and full of contempt.
The Kuja Pirates were imdiately alard as they looked up at the sky.
"What's happening?!"
"Where did the thunderclouds co from?"
"And they're so low!"
But Hancock remained composed.
"It's that woman! That blonde on the opposite ship! You dare use such a thing against ?! You've only made angrier!"
Hancock snarled as she stepped onto the railing—and with a single powerful leap, she landed on Vane's ship with incredible grace.
"She jumped that far?! Is she even human?!" Kalifa was stunned. Her technique still needed to charge, and Hancock was already upon her!
"Perfect. Boa Hancock, I'll make you kneel and beg for rcy!"
Kalifa lashed out with a powerful kick. She was skilled in close-quarters combat, quick and flexible.
"? Kneel to you? Don't make laugh. Ugly woman, you think you can defeat ?"
Boa Hancock sneered and retaliated.
Kalifa's kick missed as Hancock elegantly dodged and struck back.
"Perfu Femur!"
Hancock's attack was laced with the power of the Love-Love Fruit. One touch and Kalifa's body could begin to turn to stone. But Kalifa's Logia powers made her body intangible—her body turned into lightning just as Hancock's leg passed through her.
"You… You're a Logia user?!"
Hancock's eyes narrowed as realization struck.
"That's right! So what?" Kalifa smirked. "I suggest you get lost. Don't wake up Lord Vane!"
Kalifa's priority was clear—protect Vane's rest. He had a habit of deep midday naps, but even thunder might not be enough to keep him sleeping through a full battle.
"Such arrogance," Hancock scoffed. "Just because you're a Logia user doesn't an you're untouchable to !"
She attacked again, this ti unleashing a flurry of strikes with her hands and legs—each one empowered by Armant Haki.
Kalifa tried to dodge, but she couldn't keep up. Hancock's strikes were precise, brutal, and unrelenting.
Hancock flipped and struck Kalifa with a spinning kick, following up with a flurry of Haki-imbued blows. Kalifa was overwheld—her strength barely asured up to a lieutenant before she got her Devil Fruit. Even with the Thunder Fruit, she was still not ready for soone on Hancock's level.
She was sent flying, smashed into the ship's mast. The entire mast trembled from the impact.
"How dare you hurt my sister?!" Hancock raged. She rushed forward, grabbed Kalifa by the collar, and raised her palm for a final blow across the face.
"Damn it… I'm still too weak… I took too many hits…" Kalifa was dazed and braced herself.
But just then, a blur shot between them with a lightning-fast steps.
SLAP!
The sound of the slap echoed across the deck as Hancock was sent flying, crashing hard into the ship's railing.
Vane had arrived.
He didn't use much force—this was a brand-new ship, after all. If he had, he would have kicked Hancock straight into the sea.
Anyone who dared lay a hand on his crewmates—especially while he slept—would face the wrath of the Pirate Empress' greatest rival.
---
Note: He only protect does that are close to him. Hancock has nothing to do with him... 'YET'.
