Chapter 178: Should I lift it!
What! Why, do you think Im bluffing? Ian looked at Hancock in disbelief.
Hum! Hancock snorted coldly and said, You have seen the fate of that impostor, havent you? I admit that you are so powerful that you can hurt the Vice Admiral Doberman, but this doesnt an that you can pretend to be the real arsonist!
Ian touched his chin and said, As I said, Im the real thing. And why would I be impersonating another person? If you dont want to believe it, then thats on you!
Looking at Ians appearance, Hancock was more furious. The other swordsman, Frodes, has already made her very angry. Her Kuja pirate chased the Marines all the way to that island, but she only found a fake guy, which ant that she had made a long trip for nothing
Now after following the leader of the Dragon Hunters, who might know sothing, Hancock went up with so expectation to have a frank talk with Ian. However, what she didnt expect was that the man in front of her was also claiming to be the mastermind
She had always felt that Ian was either an associate of the real mastermind of Marijoas incident, or one of the rescued slaves. She never expected that Ian can be the real man in black.
Although Ian was also carrying a long sword, judging from the fighting process between him and the two vice admirals, the abilities he showed were fundantally different from that of the man in black.
So she was very angry and said in a cold voice: According to the information I got, the real mastermind was a Fla Ability User, but you were using Thunder Abilities. You dare lying to my face. Do you think that by defeating a vice admiral, you can look down to a Shichibukai?
Huh, all right. Ian laughed and asked Hancock, Lets put that aside for a while. Let
ask you a simple question now, what are you going to do when you find the real mastermind?
Its none of your business! Hancock was still unsure of Ians true identity, so it was impossible to tell him her true purpose.
Let
guess! Ian said, narrowing his eyes: You are a Shichibukai. Normally, you are subject to the orders of the world governnt and Marines, so I guess that you are helping the Marines catch the arsonist?
I said, its none of your business! Hancocks expression began to cool down.
Oh, it doesnt look like youre planning on arresting him! Ian ignored her and continued, So, you want to recruit him? Or to be exact, provide him with protection!?
Hancock finally burst out and turned her shyness into a pure fury, but this was because the man in front of her had read her mind again
The second ti, this is the second ti he does it! Her own thoughts and ideas were guessed by the man in front of her, which made Hancock have the sa sense of sha as if she was being stripped
Who the hell is this man? How can he tell whats in my mind? Is it too obvious what Im doing?
Hancock was a Shichibukai. She cares a lot about her identity and doesnt want to lose it. Therefore, she can only do things secretly to help the mastermind of the Marijoa incident. She had to co up with an excuse to cover her arrival to Mainspring Island, but now, her thoughts were read by a stranger!?
This isnt working! It seems that equal communication is not feasible, so I have to take this man down and force him to talk! If he is an associate of black-clothed man, then I will spare his life, but if not, then I have to kill him!
With this in mind, Hancock decided to stop talking, got up, and kicked Ian with her right leg.
This ti, her kick was much faster compared to her previous ones in Mainspring Island!
In this World, although Devil Fruits Abilities were very strong, in fact, there was a collocation problem between Devil Fruit and the user himself. Can their own conditions, personality, and fighting thods fully match the power of the devil fruit? This was a very complicated issue.
However, Hancock was typically a perfect match with her devil fruit. She was a very beautiful woman with incomparable charm. She can exert the ability of the Love-Love Fruit to the extre. If Mrs. Kokoro, the main conductor of the Sea Train, ate the Love-Love fruit, would she be able to do a thing with it!!?
Moreover, although she was a Devil Fruit User, this does not an that she was completely relying only on her own fruit ability to fight. In fact, she was also proficient in using the three types of Haki, and her physical skills were quite powerful
Although it is impossible to compare the strength gap with other Shichibukai, she was so powerful that even the Marine Fleet Admiral, Sengoku, has personally said it.
When she kicked Ian, Hancock has also used her Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) to consider Ians every possible movent. She was confident that no matter how the man in front of her dodges, he cant escape from her
However, to her surprise, in the face of her kick, Ian did not try to dodge at all, he just stretched out his left hand, and with a loud bang, received her kick.
Kicking him like this made Hancock think that Ians left hand would be petrified imdiately, but the results were confusing, Ian wasnt affected!
If she could look at the palm of Ians hand carefully, she would find that there was a strange light film (a thin flexible strip of plastic) in the palm of Ians hand. The light film has isolated the contact between their skins, and nullified Hancocks fruit ability.
And this layer of light film was nothing else than Orihis defensive technique, Santen Kesshun: Three Sacred Links Shield!
Ever since he t Boa Hancock on the Mainspring Island, Ian has been thinking about how to guard against her strange petrification ability, if he ever had to fight the Pirate Empress!
In the face of her attack: ro ro llow, Ian could divert his attention through pain, making the petrification ability ineffective. But what if their fight turns to a direct engagent?
It would be a bit unrealistic not to be touched by Hancock for the whole fight, unless Ians speed was extrely high. But what if he gets hit accidentally?
Many people in the New World can use the Haki, but why are those devil fruit users still so powerful? This was naturally due to the strength of Haki, unable to completely isolate the Devil Fruit Ability!
During his battle against Aokiji, Ian found out that his left wrist was frostbitten, even when he was protecting that area with Busoshoku Haki, Aokijis ice kept on freezing his wrist.
Maybe Ian wearing a glove at that ti resisted a bit of Aokijis freezing effect, but Hancocks ability was more domineering and effective on inorganic substances. If he uses gloves to touch her body, nothing would change; even the gloves would be petrified with his hands
So after thinking about it, Ian ca up with this trick. He used Orihis skill: the Three Sacred Links Shield to block the petrification ability!
He can freely control the size of the Three Sacred Links Shield and concentrate it completely between his palms. In fact, the light film ford was actually a kind of spiritual energy. This layer of energy was like a filter device, which filters out Hancocks petrification ability!
Of course, to use Inoue Orihis skills, Ian needs to inevitably put on her hairpins on his hair. Fortunately, he was wearing the bear ear cap at the mont, which was thankfully covering the hairpins. (T/N: BTW! Didnt she notice Kumas hat!!??)
Holding Hancocks ankle with his hand, Ian felt relieved when he saw that his trick worked.
At this ti, Ians nose again slled the scent of Hancocks leg and couldnt help but swallow his saliva.
He subconsciously followed Hancocks ankles and looked forward. At rest, the look at such a long, white, smooth leg was a test of ns willpower.
Especially when he looked all the way and saw Hancocks thighs, Ian felt the hot blood rushing to his head
What kind of scenery is hidden under that cheongsam!? This gorgeous lady, is she wearing it or not? Im afraid that this has been an unsolved problem for many years, right? And all of those who have tried before to solve this have pledged their lives for this cause! All guesses can only be swayed by imagination
The difference between Ian and the others was that if he wants to, he can easily get the answer as soon as he raises Hancocks leg slightly with his left hand!
Should I lift it, or not, no I have to do it!!
Ian just kept hesitating
