Fujitora single-handedly restrained one captain with a 500 million Belly bounty and another with a bounty over 100 million, along with more than a hundred pirates.
...
At the same time, on another small section of the battlefield.
"Gahahaha! I am the captain of the Pervert Pirates, Black Lust Wolf!"
"I'm going to capture all of you and take you back to my ship!"
The Pervert Pirates, captain Black Lust Wolf, bounty 270 million Belly.
Black Lust Wolf was a native of the New World. He matured early, and at the age of twelve, due to being unable to control his physical urges, he committed acts so atrocious they defied description.
More importantly, Black Lust Wolf was a complete psychological deviant. When he toyed with women, he did so to the point of death. Other flower thieves and rapists might get sentenced to over a decade in prison—he was the type sentenced straight to death. So far, none of the women who fell into his hands had survived.
And Black Lust Wolf's opponent was the team Hancock belonged to.
With her peerless beauty and proud figure, Hancock merely standing there nearly caused the sea around Black Lust Wolf's fleet to drown in drool.
With a captain like Black Lust Wolf, his crew naturally consisted of men who couldn't control themselves either. Saliva poured down like a waterfall.
Looking at Hancock, Black Lust Wolf felt he could change his usual principles:
"What a beautiful woman! Someone this beautiful can't be played to death in one go! I've decided—I'll play with her for a long time. After I'm done, the boys can line up behind me."
"Captain, I'll follow you forever!"
"The best boss ever—no objections allowed!"
"This is the best decision of my life!"
The underlings howled like ghosts and wolves, declaring their loyalty to Black Lust Wolf.
"What a filthy bunch of men… then I'll send you to your next life."
Opponents like this were actually advantageous for Hancock.
Black Lust Wolf felt no fear toward her. He had killed countless women, so he felt nothing from her threats.
It wasn't that he "looked down on women." It was simply that there were very few powerful female fighters in this world. Hancock didn't look like Big Mom—ten meters tall and clearly terrifying at a glance.
She didn't even carry a bounty yet. Naturally, Black Lust Wolf didn't believe that someone with a 270 million Belly bounty like himself would lose to her.
Hancock crossed her hands and formed a heart shape with her fingers.
"Are you confessing your love to me? Let me tell you, I don't—"
Waves of pink mist spread outward in circles.
Clang!
The pirate Black Lust Wolf, worth 270 million Belly, along with his officers worth tens of millions and dozens of pirate underlings, all turned into stone.
If her Devil Fruit ability had been developed to its peak, the number petrified at once could have increased by at least four or five times.
"W-what's going on?!"
"Captain—and the vice captain—have turned into stone!"
Hancock's ability—even if one knows the mechanism of her Devil Fruit—requires decisiveness like Vice Admiral Momonga stabbing his own palm to maintain clarity and avoid turning into stone.
Let alone these men, who harbored desire toward her. Within the range of her ability, anyone facing her was instantly turned to stone.
"A monster… but a beautiful monster!"
With a wave of her hand, Hancock commanded, "Seize all these ugly men!"
The three Devil Fruit users in her team moved first. The two sisters transformed into massive snakes, wrapping their tails around the petrified men and hurling them into the crowd.
They could knock down several enemies at once, and the shattered stone bodies made it a two-for-one.
The Frilled Lizard Model user was a nearly three-meter-tall muscle-bound woman. After transforming, she was even more powerful. She copied the sisters, using the petrified men as discus weapons.
"I'll defeat the most pirates and make Vane-sama look at me with new eyes!"
Vane: No need. Every night I already want to look at you.
With that thought in mind, Hancock held nothing back in this battle. She dashed forward again, leaping high and performing a forward flip in midair.
Then she raised her hand and fired dozens of pink Slave Arrows.
This move was even more overbearing than previous—capable of petrifying even bombs.
The pirates struck by the arrows naturally turned into stone without exception.
It had to be said, Hancock's killing efficiency far surpassed Fujitora's. Even though Fujitora was far stronger—and Hancock would be crushed if she faced him—it made sense… Fujitora couldn't see anything, so the charm effect was directly cut in half.
In the movie version, the Pirate Empress once encountered a blind Fish-Man. Although she successfully turned him into stone, how could that Fish-Man's willpower compare to Fujitora's? Fujitora was ruthless enough to blind himself—more ruthless even than Momonga.
"Run! This woman's ability—"
"We're going to turn into stone!"
When facing a mechanic-based monster, no amount of brute force can win.
...
On Bonez's side, he encountered a pair of brothers.
"We are…"
"…the One-Heart Pirates!"
"Meeting us means you've…"
"…run into terrible luck!"
Both brothers had bounties of 150 million, totaling 300 million Belly together.
As twins, they fought with flawless coordination. Their weapons were long-handled scythes.
"Twin-Heart Slash!"
The two scythes slashed toward Bonez, one high and one low.
"Let us slice open that charcoal-black body of yours!"
Clang! Clang!
Large sparks burst from Bonez's body.
The tips of the brothers' scythes pressed against his flesh but couldn't pierce even an inch.
Standing unmoved, Bonez lifted his eyelids slightly.
"That's it?"
The brothers weren't surprised. "The Dice-Dice Fruit—truly as hard as steel."
Bonez had followed Vane early on. Much of his information was public; they knew his body was as hard as steel.
"Don't think that having a steel body means you can be fearless."
"Have a taste of our invincible combined technique!"
One held his scythe in his left hand, the other in his right. Their free hands clasped together, toes pressed against each other, and they began spinning in place.
"This is the technique that can…"
"…tear steel apart!"
The two brothers spun like fan blades.
Their scythes weren't the most stable structure, so the move required perfect coordination in distributing body strength. But its power was real—it could cleave a ship in two.
"Alloy Steel!"
Armament Haki covered his entire body. Bonez stood still, taking their attack head-on.
The two brothers spun like tops, repeatedly crashing into Bonez, producing ear-piercing grinding sounds.
After dozens of collisions, aside from showers of sparks, Bonez still stood there, unmoving.
