One Piece: I am the Empress, and the more sycophants I have, the stronger I become.

Hancock's Conqueror's Haki.

For Kidd, who had not yet matured.

Like an invisible tsunami collapsing from the heavens, it instantly engulfed Kidd's pirate ship with absolute power.

On deck, apart from Captain Kidd and his first mate Kira who held on with their indomitable will, all the other crew members collapsed like wheat being harvested, unconscious.

"Crunch..."

Kidd's gums were almost crushed, and the giant mechanical arm hovering to his side emitted a resentful roar.

He stared intently at the woman at the top of the mast, a woman of unparalleled beauty yet exuding a terrifying aura, his mind in turmoil!

How could this be a mere pretty face from the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

This is clearly a true sea empress!

He made a fatal mistake by severely underestimating the strength of his opponent.

"You wretched woman...don't be so arrogant!"

Kidd's pride was completely ignited, and with a roar, the giant mechanical arm, carrying immense magnetic force, moved.

Like a roaring steel behemoth, it crashed down on the mast where Hancock was!

"Mechanical Giant Arm - Magnetic Frenzy!"

Faced with this powerful blow that could sink a warship, only a faint look of surprise flashed across Hancock's eyes.

This red-haired kid's brute strength and Devil Fruit development are indeed far beyond those of ordinary pirates, making him a promising talent.

However, she has been through countless battles and has been tempered by Rayleigh, the King of Hades, which has greatly improved her reaction and insight.

She neither dodged nor avoided; just as the giant arm was about to strike her, her figure swayed gently like a phantom.

To dodge gracefully with exquisite skill.

Boom!

The base of the mast was shattered by splinters of wood, and the ship tilted violently.

"The strength is acceptable, but the speed is too sluggish."

A cool and arrogant comment rang in Kid's ears, and Hancock appeared in the air behind him as if by teleportation.

Her long, slender legs, wreathed in a pink halo and condensed jet-black armor color, transformed into a deadly red beam, aimed straight at Kidd's temple.

"Fragrant feet!"

Kidd's pupils contracted sharply, and he hastily gathered the metal together, using his left arm to block.

boom!

A loud explosion rang out!

Kidd felt an overwhelming force surge towards him, mixed with a strange and alluring feeling that made him sway his mind and almost sink into it.

His entire arm went numb instantly, and his burly body slid backward uncontrollably, leaving deep furrows in the ground.

"Oh? To be able to withstand my kick without falling, your brute strength is indeed remarkable."

Hancock landed gracefully, her skirt fluttering, her tone carrying a hint of condescending praise.

More often, it's a regal, overarching scrutiny.

Sit down!

While Kid's destructive power is strong, it is no match for absolute speed, combat skills, and a deeper level of Haki.

They were completely manipulated by Hancock.

Hancock's beautiful eyes flickered as she thought to herself.

"This kid is arrogant. He can't even withstand a kick from Kizaru, let alone a kick from himself, yet he's so haughty. Does he even have the qualities of a sycophant?"

However, when she sensed the almost bursting anger, resentment, and intense desire for conquest in Kidd's eyes...

This reveals that this beast is wild and untamed, and it will be difficult to gain its true submission in the short term.

At most, it can only arouse their distorted possessiveness, turning them into another form of "obsessed".

"Hmph, a stubborn rock, wasting my time."

Having run out of patience, Hancock decided to give up.

With a wave of her hand, a more condensed, smaller-range, yet terrifyingly petrifying pink heart-shaped light wave precisely enveloped Kidd and Killer!

"Sweet and refreshing breeze, focus extinguished!"

Kidd roared, unleashing his domineering aura to its fullest extent.

Its body surface flickered with grayish-white color, and despite its formidable strength, it struggled to resist petrification.

Kira, on the other hand, was protected by Armament Haki.

But under the double impact of that all-pervasive allure and petrification, it was already teetering on the brink of collapse, and the eyes beneath the mask began to glaze over.

"Kidd! This ability is weird! Retreat!"

Kira screamed with his last shred of sanity.

Kidd's face was contorted with rage, his overwhelming resentment nearly extinguishing his reason.

But looking at his unconscious partner and his deputy who was on the verge of collapse, he had no choice but to make a humiliating decision.

"Woman! I, Kidd, will repay this humiliation a hundredfold!"

After uttering these harsh words, he activated the Magnet Fruit with all his might, attempting to turn the ship around and escape.

In the instant that Kid was distracted from controlling the ship, Hancock locked her sights on Kira, who had been appearing more composed.

A brilliant pink light shone in her eyes, the upgraded [Enchanting Eyes] combined with a mental impact infused with the domineering aura of the Overlord.

Like an invisible arrow, it pierced through the mask and went straight to the deepest part of Kira's heart!

That single glance contained the ultimate charm of the world and the supreme majesty of the empress, as if showing him a glorious path leading to eternal loyalty.

Kira's resistance froze instantly, and he lost his composure.

It was precisely in this moment of mental lapse that the suppressed subconscious suddenly erupted.

He uncontrollably blurted out, in a tone that was a mixture of fanaticism and piety:

"Kira is willing to offer his heart to Her Majesty the Empress!"

The sound wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap, exploding across the chaotic deck.

Kidd, who was preparing to make a full-scale escape, suddenly turned around, his pupils dilated, and stared at his first mate in disbelief.

He almost thought he was hallucinating: "Kira?! What the hell are you talking about?!"

Kira was stunned by his own shocking slip of the tongue, instantly snapping out of his bewitching state.

A strong sense of shame and guilt towards Kidd welled up inside her, and she hurriedly tried to make amends.

He spat several times in Hancock's direction, his face under the mask turning bright red.

"Pah! I...I was just...affected by my abilities! Talking nonsense!"

However, words spoken are like water spilled on the ground.

That sudden burst of almost instinctive admiration and loyalty.

It has been accurately captured by Hancock and clearly recorded by the system.

"Ding! Detected that the Killer Samurai Kira has developed extreme admiration and loyalty towards the host. His slip of the tongue revealed his true desires, meeting the criteria for an [Elite Simp]! Initial infatuation value: 35/100! Simp energy is being absorbed rapidly..."

"Ding! Captain Eustace Kid has been detected to be extremely shocked, possessive, and exhibiting a distorted competitive mentality towards the host. Stimulated by the first mate's declaration of betrayal, his desire to conquer and attention have surged, meeting the criteria for [Excellent Simp]! Initial infatuation value: 20/100! Simp energy is being absorbed..."

Hancock's lips curved into a stunning smile, her mood one of unparalleled joy.

The joy of accident!

Not only did they gain a highly promising "elite simp," but they also indirectly spurred that arrogant red-haired boy to mark him as an "excellent simp" ahead of time!

While Kidd's methods of infatuation may be a bit awkward, the energy he provides is absolutely top-notch.

She stopped intervening and looked down on Kidd as he frantically tried to control the ship, as if she were a god.

With a distraught and flushed Kira, and a ship full of unconscious crew, they disappeared in a very disheveled state on the horizon of the doldrums.

At the top of the cliff, Hancock stood against the wind, her skirt and long hair fluttering in the wind.

"Supernovas... truly the best breeding ground for simps. Kira... Kid... Sabaody Archipelago, I'm sure there will be many more interesting prey waiting for me."

Her power, her charm.

It is destined to stir up even greater waves in that chaotic land.
