However, what he didn't know was that Bucky's success was not accidental, but rather that he possessed multiple exciting auras, and that the various blunders that had occurred before coincidentally allowed him to complete one act after another.

"Colonel Smoker, are you alright?"

Seeing that her bullets had missed, Ain didn't care. Instead, she appeared in front of Smoker, holding a knife in one hand and a large-caliber pistol in the other, looking at the Pirate Empress Hancock in front of her.

"It's okay. Are you done on your end? I'm sorry, Straw Hat Boy got away from me."

Smoker, using his jitte as a support, managed to stand up. Looking at the battlefield on the other side, he saw Lightning and the others, now transformed into a group of children, lying unconscious on the ground.

Although he was only a naval captain, Smoker had always been quite confident in his abilities.

Smoker's outstanding academic performance at the naval academy and his status as a Logia-type Devil Fruit user have given him strength that surpasses most naval captains.

But only today did he realize how weak he was. In the past, he was arrogant and even disobeyed his superiors on numerous occasions.

But this "Marineford War" truly woke him up.

Not to mention Whitebeard and the three admirals who fought before, as well as Hawkeye and Wood, even Smoker felt that he was no match for the little girl Ain who was now in front of him.

He had previously seen Ein following Gion closely and assumed she was just Vice Admiral Momousagi's assistant, but now it seemed that things were not like that at all.

Smoker initially thought that Ain was benefiting from Gion's influence to be able to serve as a captain in the Marine Headquarters at such a young age, but now it seems that the Joker is just like himself.

Although the other party was younger than him, his strength was obviously much greater. He was not only a swordsman, but he had also mastered a certain degree of domineering aura.

More importantly, the other party was just like him, merely a naval captain!

After seeing Ain like this, Smoker felt even more strongly that he had nothing to be proud of.

"Vice Admiral Gion was right after all. The Seven Warlords of the Sea are nothing but a bunch of scheming guys."

Pirates are pirates, there's no such thing as legality or illegality. Since you've opposed our justice, then we must punish you!

As she spoke, Ain took out another bullet from the bag tied to her thigh and loaded her pistol.

Upon seeing Ain's actions, Hancock in front of her also reacted instantly, disappearing from sight in a flash and reappearing right in front of Ain.

The long legs covered in Armament Haki came straight at her. Sensing the danger, Ain reacted immediately and raised her famous sword "Kanji" to defend herself.

"clang------!"

A crisp metallic clang echoed through the air. Because Hancock's strength was already greater than Ain's, and because Ain was using one hand to defend herself, although she managed to block the attack, her body slid more than ten meters across the ground.

Without throwing the ammunition into the air while sliding backward, Ain, after popping open the magazine, completed a stylish one-handed reload and once again aimed the gun at Hancock.

Chapter 469 Sister? You actually want to be my sister-in-law!

"boom------!"

As thick smoke billowed from the guns, bullets the size of a child's fist shot toward Hancock at high speed once more.

Zephyr, who taught Ain, once remarked that her talent far surpassed that of Wood.

Aside from a slight deficiency in physical skills, the Six Styles of the Navy cannot be fully mastered.

Whether it's swordsmanship, Haki, or even shooting skills, Ein was the best among that group of naval students.

Ein isn't a sniper, but with a pistol, she can easily hit a target a hundred meters away without using Observation Haki.

Seeing the bullet hurtling towards her, Hancock, who had witnessed its power before, was not foolish enough to take it head-on. So, after using her hands as a support, she performed several somersaults on the ground before jumping onto her pet python Salome. Then, she touched her lips with her index finger, making a big heart shape.

"Captive Arrow!"

Like Cupid's arrows, a barrage of heart-shaped arrows burst forth from the pink heart in front of Hancock, quickly striking the bullets fired by Ain.

The bullet that was hit was petrified in mid-air, but then, as if triggered by something, it suddenly burst out with a dazzling white light.

"boom------!"

With a loud explosion, a small mushroom cloud rose up from the scene once again.

As Ain took out another bullet and prepared to load it, everyone watching was dumbfounded.

This weapon's power is ridiculously high, and even cannons need time to cool down their barrels, yet this thing can load and fire continuously. It's just too outrageous!

The knife in Ain's hand is the "Kanji," a 50-skill quick-sword technique, a gift from Gion, and the gun in her hand is no ordinary weapon either.

Instead, it was a famous gun called "Gebrushhot," a gift from Wood to his sister. As for the powerful ammunition, it goes without saying that it was also a product of Wood Arms Company.

Those special bullets not only have tremendous explosive power, but they also contain a lot of Seastone powder. Even if a Devil Fruit user is hit by them, even if they are a Logia-type user, they will not feel good after taking the attack because of the influence of Seastone, which prevents them from transforming into their own element.

The only drawback of this special ammunition is that it can only be loaded with one round at a time, otherwise it will explode due to impact, and only a small number of guns can use it. For this reason, Wood specifically sought out the "Gebrushhot" gun.

Turning sea stone into powder and mixing it into ammunition is an extremely difficult task, which is why these bullets are very expensive; the cost of making a single bullet can reach an astonishing ten million Berries.

Wood actually manufactured dozens of these bullets and gave them, along with his sidearm "Gebrushott," to Ain. As a result, Robin, the then-financial manager, said more than once that Wood was a siscon.

If it were an ordinary opponent, Ein wouldn't have used "Gebrushhot," since she later learned from Vice Admiral Gion that each bullet she used cost a staggering ten million Berries.

Wood gave her fifty of these bullets, which is a total of 500 million Berries!

No, if you include the 'Gebrushhot' gun, the price would probably be even higher.

Because of its high price, Ain would not normally use such an expensive weapon. However, her opponent was Boa Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and one of the strongest women on the sea. So the situation was different.

Looking at the scorched earth not far away, Hancock, as a Devil Fruit user, also smelled an unpleasant odor and understood why her "Prisoner's Arrow" had failed.

Fortunately, I used "Captive Arrow" from a distance instead of using "Fragrant Kick" at close range; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"No, we can't let her use that strange weapon anymore, or she'll be in danger sooner or later."

Seeing that Ain was loading bullets into "Gebrushott" again, Hancock used her pet snake Salome as a spring to launch herself forward and approach Ain at high speed with her long legs.

Although the weapon used by Ain is powerful and has a certain restraining effect on ability users, it also has a very obvious drawback: it needs to be reloaded after each attack, and each reload takes a long time.

As long as you close the distance to the enemy while they are reloading, you won't give them a chance to reload!

Just as Ain was about to reload with another cool one-handed gun-flicking motion, a long, white leg came hurtling towards her head as soon as the bullet was thrown into the air.

Left with no other option, Ain had to give up on reloading "Gebrushhot". Instead, she covered "Gebrushhot" with Armament Haki, pressed the gun against Hancock's long leg, and retaliated with "Kanse" in her other hand!

However, just as "Observe the Time" struck, Hancock spun her body with astonishing coordination and whipped her other leg at Ain's famous sword.

After this collision, the two slid back several meters each, and almost simultaneously used their Devil Fruit abilities on each other.

Hancock kissed her index finger with her lips, then made a gun gesture. The next second, a pink heart shot out like a bullet towards Ain.

"Kiss Gun!" One of the powers of the Love Love Fruit, it is said to have the attribute of "guaranteed hit", and even Luffy, who is a rubber man, will feel pain if he is hit by this skill.

"Flame of Regression!"

Compared to Hancock's diverse moves with the "Love-Love Fruit," Ain's "Rewind-Rewind Fruit" doesn't have many moves. The so-called "Rewind-Rewind Flame" is simply throwing the power of the Rewind-Rewind Fruit in the form of pink flames from a distance.

Since abilities are ageless, when the "Kiss Gun" and the "Flame of Regression" collided in mid-air, a huge pink storm was instantly created.

To Ain's surprise, before the storm dissipated, a large wave of pink heart-shaped arrows suddenly burst out from the storm and swept towards Ain's location.

At first, Ain was able to use her Observation Haki to predict and dodge these "capture arrows". However, unfortunately, a wave of Haki different from Armament Haki and Observation Haki soon came straight at Ain, even causing her to experience a brief period of confusion.

The last of the three types of Haki, it is said that only one in a million people possesses "Conqueror's Haki"!

"Conqueror's Haki" is a mental attack; if someone is slightly weaker, they may not even be able to stay conscious in front of the user of Conqueror's Haki.

While Ain's strength was not enough to cause her to fall unconscious under Hancock's Conqueror's Haki, she did fall into a brief state of disorientation due to the impact of the Conqueror's Haki.

It was this brief moment of disorientation that prevented Ain from dodging the "Prisoner's Arrow," which she could have easily avoided. As a result, one of her feet was hit by the arrow and "petrified" because she couldn't dodge in time.

In a battle between two strong individuals, even the smallest flaw can be fatal, let alone now that one of their legs is completely immobilized due to petrification.

Whether it's "Shave" or "Moonwalk" from the Six Styles of the Navy, both require the use of both feet for rapid movement. With only one foot left, the battle has undoubtedly been declared a defeat for Ain.

Facing Hancock's renewed frontal attack, Ain tried to defend herself with both swords and spears, but it was clearly useless. Soon, Hancock's whip kick sent Ain flying dozens of meters through the back!

Smoker, eager to help, quickly transformed into smoke and rushed over, but having already been badly injured, he was no match for him before, and even less so now.

After glancing at Ain and Smoker lying on the ground, Hancock hesitated for a moment before deciding to take down the more dangerous Ain first. So she slowly walked up to her, covered her long legs with Armament Haki, and prepared to stomp on Ain's head and crush it.

Although the Seven Warlords of the Sea belong to the World Government, Hancock is ultimately a pirate, so taking down the Marines is no big deal for her.

Moreover, with the battlefield in such chaos, even if she "accidentally" killed one or two naval captains, probably no one would know, and even less would anyone care.

"You should think this through. Although she is a captain in the Navy Headquarters, she is also the sister of that ancient weapon, Wood."

Even you, a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, can't ignore that person. If you kill his sister here, your Amazon Lily Kingdom might face his revenge.

Seeing that Hancock intended to kill Ain, Smoker, unable to act, could only try his best by invoking Wood's name in an attempt to scare away the Pirate Empress.

Although Smoker hates pirates and disdains using the name of his former self to save his life, Ain ultimately ended up in this predicament because she saved him.

Moreover, putting aside other aspects for the moment, Wood's name still carries considerable weight on the high seas.

Pirates may not fear the Navy, but they will dread Wood, known as the "Ancient Weapon".

"boom------!"

This is the sound of Hancock's high heels shattering the ground, but the imagined bloody scene of brains splattering did not occur here.

Because of Hancock's kick, upon hearing Smoker's shout, she abruptly changed the angle of her attack.

In other words, her foot missed its mark...

"You're Wood's sister, the 'Ancient Weapon'?"

Hancock, who had been looking at Ain with a cold expression, now completely demonstrated what it means to have a drastic change in attitude. Her originally icy tone had become gentle as she asked.

Even if Ayn didn't say it, Hancock already had a feeling that the other person might be Wood's sister.
