Chereads / One Piece: The Strongest Creature / Chapter 24 - The Enraged Hancock

Chapter 24 - The Enraged Hancock

As I mentioned earlier, no one knew that Kahn had entered the New World about a month ago.

But soon, all the major forces in the Grand Line, and even ordinary pirates in the New World, knew that the strongest supernova in history, who had been offered a bounty of 300 million berries before entering the Grand Line, had already entered the New World.

Because the New World... is so small!

Except for the losers who escaped the New World and the weak who dare not enter, few pirates will develop in the first half of the Grand Line.

When they enter the Grand Line, they will only continue to go to islands to fill up their magnetic power, finally passing through the Sabaody Archipelago and Fish-Man Island to reach the New World.

In the first half of the Grand Line, pirates can experience the thrill of adventure.

However, after entering the New World, most pirates can no longer take risks as they did in the first half.

Those who don't know how to reach Raftel find their original dream of finding the One Piece affected by the harsh environment here, gradually turning into a struggle for dominance.

The Marine, which rules the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line, is no longer the biggest power in this sea area.

As long as they don't attack the allied countries, the World Government and Marine Headquarters will turn a blind eye to the pirates' behaviour, much like in the lawless area of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Therefore, this sea area is a paradise for pirates, where real strength matters most.

All pirates who come to this sea area will try to occupy an island as their base.

If they lack strength, the weak band together, or the strong join forces to form large or small pirate alliances.

Pirate alliances are very rampant in the New World.

Because they need to band together to survive.

The weak pirate groups can only intimidate other weak alliances.

The powerful pirate groups must band together to have a chance against the three Yonko.

Of course, there are some powerful pirate groups that choose not to form alliances, challenging the three Yonko alone.

As a result, they either escape from the New World in disgrace, are completely annihilated or are recognized by the Yonko and become their affiliated pirate groups.

Crocodile and Gecko Moria are among the former.

Every year, a large number of pirates escape from the New World, and a large number travel thousands of miles to enter the New World through the first half of the Grand Line.

Apparently, more pirates are entering than leaving.

Over time, in the New World, wherever there are islands with people, there will be pirates and spies from major forces.

Their ship flew in the sky with a high profile, so it wasn't too conspicuous.

The flag and canvas, as well as the Celestial Dragon logo on the bow, are recognized by pirates who are good at gathering information. This is the symbol of the Cross family, which recently caused a sensation in the world.

The head of the Cross family is also known as "the strongest supernova in history" and "the walking natural disaster" - Cross Kahn.

As a result, the news that Kahn had entered the New World quickly spread throughout the entire New World through word of mouth and Den Den Mushi.

In an instant, countless pirates began to act.

Some wanted to kill Kahn to make a name for themselves in the New World.

Some wanted to join Kahn, using his reputation and strength to survive in the harshest sea.

Others wanted to recruit Kahn or form an alliance with him to challenge the three Yonko.

No one dared to underestimate this man who possessed the traits of two Yonko.

Even Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, among the three Yonko, are extremely interested in Kahn.

When Charlotte Linlin, also known as Big Mom, learned that Kahn was a natural destroyer like her, she wanted to capture him and breed a superior child, even more perfect than Katakuri.

Kaido, on the other hand, was eager to recruit Kahn due to the scarcity of strong talents in his fleet. As a fellow Mythical Zoan user, Kaido had a particular interest in Kahn.

It's no exaggeration to say that Kahn had just stepped onto the world's highest stage and immediately became one of the main characters under the spotlight.

Until he makes a name for himself and solidifies his status, he shouldn't expect to live as comfortably as he did in the first half of the West Blue and Grand Line.

...

Kahn's debut in the New World came sooner than expected.

On the second day after entering the New World, their low-flying ship was bombarded by three pirate ships.

This time, though, Kahn didn't act himself.

Zizizi...boom boom boom!!!

Hancock, who had exceptional perception and noticed the enemy's attack, had blue and white lightning flashing all over her body. She used her Electric Metallurgy ability to turn the gold on her wrist into a golden staff.

Utilizing the increased speed of gold conduction, Hancock lightly waved the gold staff, releasing a massive electric serpent.

The electric serpent split into three parts, intercepting the incoming shells from different angles.

Three fireworks suddenly bloomed in the air.

"It's unforgivable to dare to harm their ship!"

After destroying the cannonballs, Hancock's delicate and lovely face was immediately full of fury.

The lighting on her body became more violent, reflecting her master's anger.

The terrifying current scared Sonia, Mary, and even Robin, making them hesitant to approach Hancock.

Kahn, who was planning to lift the attacking pirates and their ships into the air with his telekinetic powers and slam them into the sea, paused as his interest was piqued by Hancock's rage.

Sitting back on the outdoor sofa, Kahn watched Hancock with keen interest.

Hancock's character was very simple, like a blank sheet of paper. Whoever painted on it could determine her character.

Living on Amazon Lily, where strength is beauty, Hancock was raised with the belief that the strong are respected.

Therefore, she developed a strong will from a young age, with an innate destiny to awaken Conqueror's Haki one day.

In the original story, even after suffering at the hands of human traffickers and becoming a slave of the Celestial Dragons for several years, Hancock returned to Amazon Lily and awakened Conqueror's Haki, becoming the new captain of the Kuja Pirates at eighteen and joining the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

But now, Hancock had escaped the traffickers' grasp and never became a slave. She had also eaten the Rumble Fruit, one of the strongest Logia fruits.

Her current journey was far smoother than Ace's rise to become Whitebeard's son.

Hancock was very aware that everything she and her sisters had was thanks to Kahn.

With a pure personality, Hancock had long considered Robin, who helped the three sisters eliminate their trauma, as a good sister and viewed Kahn as the master she must repay for life.

They were her family, and their ship was their home.

Now, with someone daring to attack their home, Hancock's anger was justified.

At this moment, Hancock's expression mirrored her rage during the Summit War when she saw Luffy being abused by Smoker.

Whether it was due to her anger or her talent...

Hancock's next move made Kahn's eyes brighten.
