Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

For a time, while Hancock and Kaido clashed repeatedly in the sky, the battlefield shifted northwestward, moving over the sea.

The shadows of the Black Winged Demon and the Azure Dragon streaking across the sky also amazed countless pirates.

Of course, while the pirates were amazed, they were also forced to avoid the aftershocks of the battle between Hancock and Kaido.

Fire, thunder, hurricane...

Kaido's blue dragon form possesses terrifying abilities almost identical to those in myths and legends, capable of triggering natural disasters at the slightest provocation.

It merely streaked across the sky, causing countless pirate ships below to sink, and a large number of pirates to flee for their lives, crying out for their fathers and mothers.

And what no one noticed was that far behind Hancock and Kaido, an inconspicuous canary soared into the sky, and under the cover of dark clouds, headed in the same direction as Hancock.

"Rumble..."

In the midst of the clash between the Black Winged Demon and the Azure Dragon, the two had unknowingly traveled dozens of miles away from the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

"Blackwing Demon, it's no use. Even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will definitely capture you." Kaido's tyrannical and domineering voice echoed in the sky.

"Humph!"

Hancock snorted in response, showing no intention of replying. She simply turned around and fired a "Thunder Spear" at Kaido to slow him down.

"boom!"

As "Heat Breath" and "Thunder Spear" collided, a powerful blast wave, strong enough to trigger a tsunami, reappeared behind Hancock.

Then, while dodging Kaido's retaliatory "bad winds," Hancock asked, "Lord Yann, have we reached the designated location according to the emergency plan?"

“Not yet, go another ten miles.” Yann’s voice echoed in Hancock’s mind.

"Yes……"

Upon hearing this, Hancock, while maintaining her speed to create distance from Kaido, asked, "Lord Yann, are there reinforcements at the designated location?"

"no!"

"Huh? Then why go to that location?" Hancock turned her head and glanced at Kaido, who was close behind, and asked.

"Simply because that location is at the very center of the surrounding islands, it can minimize the risk of irreversible damage to the surrounding islands caused by the aftershocks," Yann's voice rang out.

"Is this... really that exaggerated?" Hancock was somewhat taken aback.

"Who knows..."

A hint of helplessness crept into Yann's voice as he said, "But I don't want to unintentionally kill millions of lives."

P.S.: Meow, today is a day of dizziness and headaches for this sick cat, so I can only manage two updates a day. I should be back to normal by tomorrow...

[Chapter 246. Hancock's Conqueror's Haki Entanglement]

Millions of lives?!

Hearing Yann's words, Hancock was stunned and was almost injured by the wind blades that attacked from behind.

"Lord A... Lord Arn, what kind of attack could be so exaggerated?" Hancock asked in utter astonishment.

"That is a power that I cannot fully control in my current state, which is why it is so dangerous."

After a pause, Yann continued to explain.

"Of course, perhaps in ten or twenty years, the possibility of losing control of the power and causing the death of millions of lives will no longer exist. However, it is too early now. But with the crisis at hand, we have no choice but to risk using this power."

At this moment, realizing that Yann was not joking, even Hancock couldn't help but feel her throat go dry.

terrible!

Is this Lord Yaon's power?

Hancock was deeply shocked, and the black wings flapping behind her quickened their pace.

That posture that transcends millions of lives—Hancock inexplicably wanted to witness that posture, the posture that belonged to Lord Yone.

Soon, as they approached the designated location, Yann reminded Hancock.

"Buy some time, Hancock..."

"Wait a minute, remember to stay away, keep a safe distance as much as possible..."

Immediately, Yann's consciousness disappeared from Hancock's mind, which also caused Hancock to break free from her current "Blackwing Demon" state.

"Whoosh!"

Almost immediately, Hancock's speed dropped significantly, allowing Kaido to close the gap considerably.

"boom!"

Another burst of heat breath shot out from the Azure Dragon's mouth and rushed towards Hancock. However, this time Hancock was unable to use the "Thunder Spear" to forcibly negate the attack. She could only sway her body and suddenly descend to the sea to dodge.

"Um?!"

Kaido, now transformed into a blue dragon, was slightly taken aback by what he saw, but a smirk appeared on his face. "You bastard, can't you maintain your power so quickly?"

Suddenly, Kaido turned around and stopped using "Heat Breath," instead extending his dragon claws.

"Whoosh!"

Hancock narrowly escaped through the gaps between Kaido's dragon claws and immediately delivered a side kick to Kaido's dragon claw.

"boom!"

A loud roar resounded, causing noticeable ripples in the air.

However, this kick only cracked one of Kaido's dragon scales and did not cause any real damage.

"Blackwing Demon, is this all you've got?"

Kaido glanced at the tiny wound on the dragon claw, his massive body hovering in front of Hancock, and spoke again.

"Submit to me, Blackwing Great Demon."

"Ah……"

Hancock let out a disdainful sneer and said, "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? The only one in this world who is worthy of my submission is the Lord of Hueco Mundo, not a little worm like you."

Faced with Hancock's merciless mockery once again, Kaido was not angry. Instead, a cunning glint flashed in his eyes as he casually remarked.

"The so-called Lord of Hueco Mundo is nothing but a rat who doesn't even dare to show his face."

These words completely crossed Hancock's bottom line.

Even though Hancock knew perfectly well that all she needed to do now was stall for time, she couldn’t stand the contemptuous words directed at Yann.

"You ugly, stupid crawler, shut your stinking mouth!"

Fueled by rage, Hancock almost instinctively unleashed all her power in a spinning side kick aimed at Kaido's head.

However, Hancock's actions were entirely in line with Kaido's calculations.

Given Hancock's agility, it would be extremely difficult for Kaido to catch her if he didn't let her get close on her own.

If Hancock launches an attack, her weaknesses will naturally be exposed.

"boom!"

Hancock's kick landed heavily on Kaido's forehead, but it had no effect whatsoever.

"Lulu lulu~"

Kaido laughed wildly and said, "Black Winged Demon, I told you, it's useless. Not to mention that you seem to have already broken out of your strongest state, even if you were in your strongest state, you couldn't defeat me. Submit."

"Don't get too cocky, you crawler!"

With a flap of her black wings, Hancock moved like a shadow, circling around to the jaw of Kaido's dragon head, and then delivered another high kick.

Kaido remained unconvinced.

However, what Kaido didn't notice this time was that inconspicuous strands of black lightning were wrapped around Hancock's legs.

"boom!"

The attack struck, and Kaido's expression changed drastically, even sending the massive and majestic blue dragon flying.

"Crack..."

"puff!"

A few streaks of blood oozed from the corner of Kaido's mouth, and Kaido stared intently at Hancock with a look of surprise in his eyes.

That feeling... it can't be wrong!

"You bastard, you can even use Conqueror's Haki?!" Kaido exclaimed.

"Conqueror's Haki Entanglement? Mastering such a small technique is nothing more than a matter of course."

Hancock replied calmly, "Is this really something to be surprised about? A crawler."

"very good!"

Kaido twisted his body, spiraled into the air, and then suddenly swung his dragon tail at Hancock, with black lightning also wrapped around it.

Hancock's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this.

Hancock spoke lightly, but having only trained for half a year, even though she had learned Conqueror's Haki Entanglement from the methods passed down from Amazon Lily's ancestors, she could only be considered to have barely learned it, and she couldn't even use it flexibly.

The reason Hancock was able to successfully use Conqueror's Haki Entanglement was largely due to her anger.

Right now, Hancock is trying to forcefully block Kaido's dragon tail as it swings down, but she can't use Conqueror's Haki again.

Driven by her inner pride, Hancock ultimately did not retreat, attempting to withstand Kaido's attack solely with her "Armament Haki" and the physique of "Black Winged Demon".

"boom!"

Upon collision, the Conqueror's Haki wrapped around the dragon's tail slammed into Hancock's body, followed by the whip-like lash of the dragon's tail that sent Hancock flying.

"Click...click..."

The sound of bones breaking and shattering exploded from Hancock's body in an instant.

"I've changed my mind, Blackwing Archmage..."

Witnessing Hancock being flung away like a kite with a broken string, Kaido opened his mouth, and as a fiery red light began to condense, he spoke.

"Since that's the case, then let you die as a subordinate of the Lord of Hueco Mundo!"

"Heat Breath!"
