Navigation: Healing Warlock, top-tier healer for Whitebeard

This makes brainwashing a mindset both laborious and unrewarding, so it's better to abandon it.

Charlia was hypnotized and brainwashed into believing that she would overthrow the Celestial Dragons' tyranny and remain loyal to Loya.

However, Loya felt that there was neither a need to change her way of thinking nor the time to do so, so she retained the mindset of the Celestial Dragon Charlia Palace.

Because the older brother, Charlos Saint, is a man, he will inherit everything in the family, while the younger sister, Charrlia, will eventually marry into another Celestial Dragon family.

Therefore, in Charlia's mind, she was always worried that after marriage, she would be ostracized by the women in her husband's family.

In order to have someone to back her up should she be ostracized, Charlos Palace has always deliberately tried to please her brother, Saint Charles.

My brother is a very important family member; he's my support in my maternal family.

This ingrained way of thinking has now been applied to Loya.

Moreover, Loya is not only gentle, strong, and reliable, but also exceptionally handsome, and his mind is instilled with the belief of loyalty and unwavering devotion to his brother.

With all these factors combined, Charlia's obsession with her "brother" Loya became astonishingly strong! In some ways, it even surpassed her obsession with survival!

Now, seeing the arrogant demeanor of her brother's "fiancée," the Empress, Charlia secretly felt that the Empress might be difficult to get along with, and her ingrained fear of being ostracized immediately transferred to the Empress herself.

Although Charlia had offered to help her brother become Empress, and she was indeed willing to do so for him,

However, he still couldn't help but feel hostility and jealousy towards the Empress, as well as intense resentment that the Empress had "taken over his most important brother."

and this.

It's not entirely a bad thing.

From Loya's perspective, it could even be seen as a good thing!

Because there are two ways to awaken and grow the Conqueror's Haki.

One type is awakening and growth under conditions such as strong beliefs, intense anger, or profound suffering!

Another type is awakening and growing through fierce battles with opponents who also possess Conqueror's Haki!

The king has come to see the king!

Faced with the proud empress who has awakened her Conqueror's Haki, Charllia's resentment, hostility, and jealousy will become the fuel for her to awaken her Conqueror's Haki!

The more unwilling she was to accept it, the more jealous she became, and the more she wanted to win.

Then, the firewood will accumulate more and more!

When a spark (opportunity) ignites, the accumulated fuel will be ignited immediately!

Forged in the fire!

At that time, Charlia's Conqueror's Haki will awaken!

At this moment, despite the Empress's constant allure, Charlia was able to remain calm and composed, and not become obsessed with the Empress.

It was precisely because of the hostility and jealousy burning within her!

The king has come to see the king!

The Celestial Dragon bloodline unconsciously instilled in Charlia a sense of being a "king," making her absolutely unwilling to bow her head to another "king."

'This woman's aura isn't strong either, not at all comparable to the White Team's officers, yet she can resist my allure and isn't infatuated with me~'

'It seems my face is indeed dirty, obscuring my beauty.'

When the Snake Princess thought of beauty, she thought of Dr. Loya, who made her feel resentful.

"Speaking of which, it's unbelievable that a gentle and considerate man like the doctor would utter such arrogant words as 'He's invincible below the Four Emperors'!"

'You really can't judge a book by its cover!'

'Oh right, I need to go help the doctor. Although he's a man, he's very different from ordinary men, and he's also my benefactor!'

Just as the Snake Princess ignored Charlia and rested her chin on her hand in deep thought.

Seeing this, Charlia on the opposite side was immediately furious and said:

What are you thinking about now?

"Don't make me say it again~"

"Your brother doesn't need your help. You're injured yourself; you'll only be a burden to him if you go."

"By staying here and resting obediently, and not hindering him, you're already helping your brother."

Upon hearing this, the Snake Princess smiled arrogantly and pointed at Charlia:

"I'll do it because you're a doctor's sister~"

"I will not hold your disrespect against me against you."

Hearing the other person's condescending tone, Charlia's brows twitched, and her anger intensified.

'This woman is truly arrogant!'

'hateful!!'

After the Empress finished speaking, she gracefully tossed her long hair and turned to run towards Loya.

"Are you even listening to me?!"

Behind her, Charlia shouted angrily.

At this very moment——

Boom——

A deep, resounding thud was followed by a considerable tremor that traveled from a hill about a hundred meters away.

Then there was another "buzzing" sound.

A dazzling, circular white sword light~

It bloomed on a hill a hundred meters away! It expanded instantly in all directions!

The sharp aftershocks of the sword energy swept past above the heads of Boa Hancock, Charlia, and the others.

It's truly terrifying.

And the next second!

Boom! ...

A burst of light exploded on the hilltop, accompanied by a deafening roar that hurt the eardrums and a tremendous tremor that made the earth feel as if it were about to collapse!

Several thick bolts of black lightning snaked across the sky.

Within the exploding ball of light, there were black, cyan, and scarlet flames.

The shockwave instantly expanded from a few meters in diameter to a terrifying size of nearly 100 meters.

The hill was razed to the ground in an instant!

Immediately following was a fierce storm, comparable to a Category 12 typhoon, sweeping in all directions.

"No way~"

The Snake Princess crouched down, shielding herself from the oncoming sandstorm with one hand, staring at the scene with a look of utter horror.

'Such amazing battle noise~'

'Is the doctor really as good as his sister said?'

'And Marco just seemed to have used that amazing move that injured me back then!?'

'Doctor...I hope he's alright?'

The Snake Princess clenched her fist and placed it over her heart, a look of worry on her face.

When the first, fiercest gust of wind swept by~

Having regained her footing, the Snake Princess looked intently at the center of the storm once more.

His eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

"Doctor...and Marco!!"

The Snake Princess was shocked to see that, at the center of the storm, Loya had blocked Marco's bird claw attack with just his right hand.

However, the two did not actually have any contact.

Instead, it was separated by an invisible, astonishingly powerful energy.

Marco's domineering aura and Loya's domineering aura are constantly vying for dominance, and no one has yet emerged victorious!

This also caused wave after wave of shockwaves and storms to continuously and violently sweep outwards from the center of their contest.

However, although the two are evenly matched.

But in Snake Princess's eyes, Marco's constipated expression clearly indicated that he had given it his all, holding nothing back.

Loya not only used one hand, but also...

"The doctor..."

"He's actually laughing!!"

Looking at Loya, who stood at the center of the storm, her clothes fluttering, dignified and composed, smiling elegantly.
