On the vast ice field, the peerlessly beautiful Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock, was staring intently at the woman before her.
As the ruler of a nation, once recognized by the World Government and invited to join the Shichibukai, her status and strength placed her among the world's most elite female figures.
Yet, the towering woman before her surpassed her in every aspect.
Charlotte Linlin, one of the former Four Emperors, wielded terrifying power and her status far exceeded that of a mere kingdom's ruler.
The Totto Land archipelago alone comprised dozens of islands, with a population in the millions.
"Mamamama, 'Pirate Empress'—what a grand title! Boa Hancock, what brings you to my home? A marriage proposal? Have you taken a fancy to my husband?"
Linlin held the massive sword Napoleon with ease, her expression relaxed and carefree, a stark contrast to Hancock's tension.
Hancock's face darkened with disgust.
She raised a slender finger and snapped, "How dare you! I would never set my eyes on that hideous muscle-bound monster! He harmed the one I cherish most—Luffy! I've come to take his life!"
Linlin burst into laughter, her voluptuous figure shaking with amusement.
Hancock fumed. "What are you laughing at?"
Linlin caught her breath and sneered, "Oh my, you? You think you can kill Caesar? Tsk tsk tsk, what a delusional woman! Coming all the way to Whole Cake Island... I'll capture you and make you bear Caesar's child. Mamamama, now that would be amusing! I wonder, would it be a boy or a girl?"
Hancock could endure no more.
With a flick of her left hand, a pink heart-shaped glow appeared, firing a barrage of pink rays at Linlin.
Hancock cried out, "Mero Mero Mellow!"
"What kind of ability is this?"
Linlin didn't dodge, allowing the pink rays to strike her body, scattering glimmers of light—but nothing happened.
Hancock seethed.
Her ability, the Paramecia-type Love-Love Fruit, worked wonders against men and even against women infatuated with her beauty.
Anyone who harbored lustful thoughts towards her, regardless of gender, would instantly turn to stone upon being hit by the Mellow rays, rendered them powerless.
But how could a woman as domineering as Linlin possibly be infatuated with someone weaker than herself?
"What kind of cheap trick is this Boa Hancock? Emperor Sword—Shatter Blade!"
Linlin swung her massive sword down in a devastating slash!
Flames roared along the blade, scorching the air.
The slash incinerated all oxygen in its path, suffocating anyone nearby.
Hancock's expression shifted.
Her form vanished in a flash, reappearing above Linlin's head.
Her red high heels, coated in Armament Haki, lashed out at Linlin's skull.
"Perfume Femur!"
A kick combining her ability and Haki—if it landed, the target would petrify and shatter instantly!
"Mamamama, you little bitch, not a bad Haki!" Linlin chuckled, swatting Hancock away like a fly.
BOOM!
A massive hole exploded in the ice as Hancock struggled to her feet, looking rather disheveled.
Her clothes were torn in several places, revealing patches of delicate skin.
A trickle of crimson blood seeped from the corner of her lips, her expression grave.
Linlin was indeed a formidable opponent!
Whether it was Haki, raw strength, or physical endurance, Linlin far surpassed her in every aspect.
'My only advantage is probably speed—I have to overwhelm her with it!'
Hancock, a woman of exceptional talent, quickly adjusted her combat rhythm.
She began darting around Linlin's towering figure, striking the moment she spotted an opening.
"Mamamama, what an annoying little fly! Soul Intimidation!"
Linlin suddenly let out a soundless roar, a primal beast-like roar that resonated from the depths of Hancock's soul, causing her flickering movements to falter for a moment.
"Elbaf Spear!"
Seizing the opportunity, Linlin swung her massive blade wreathed in violet lightning of Conqueror's Haki.
The strike carved a deep chasm through the thick ice, extending hundreds of meters as countless frozen shards burst apart.
BOOM!
Hancock's slender body was sent tumbling through the storm like a fragile leaf on the wind.
The shattered ice fragments, now sharper than blades, relentlessly sliced at Hancock's body, wearing down the protective Haki armor coating her skin.
"Slave Arrow!"
Even amid the tempest, Hancock flicked her wrist, summoning waves of pink arrows that rained down towards Linlin.
"You think you can enslave me, Pirate Empress?"
Linlin grinned wickedly, raising her right hand high.
A colossal fireball slowly formed above her, blazing like a miniature sun.
She then discarded her sword, which morphed back into a ship-shaped hat, settling atop her head.
With her left hand, she conjured a mass of ink-black storm clouds, within which thunder rumbled ominously.
"Awaken! Prometheus! Hera! Crush her!"
In an instant, the battlefield around Linlin transformed into a cataclysmic storm of fire and lightning.
Gigantic fireballs rained from the blazing sun above her, engulfing the area for hundreds of meters.
Meanwhile, the expanding storm clouds unleashed thick, blinding bolts of lightning, shattering the thick ice sheets beneath.
Hancock's arrows were obliterated in the blink of an eye.
"Damn it!" Hancock seethed, weaving desperately through the storm of thunder and flame.
Yet, despite her efforts, she was struck multiple times.
Her Haki armor steadily eroded, leaving her in an increasingly dire situation.
"Thunder-Fire Fusion! Conqueror's Haki Infusion!" Linlin roared, raising her right hand high.
The massive sun, Prometheus, merged with the pitch-black storm clouds.
Wrapped in her immense Armament and Conqueror's Haki, the attack radiated terrifying power.
With a single step, she shattered the ice beneath her and launched the devastating strike towards Hancock's head.
"Motherly Cannon: Three Thousand Miles!"
A deluge of thunder and fire poured down.
Hancock's Armament Haki armor shattered completely, and she was sent flying hundreds of meters by the overwhelming force.
Her clothes burned away entirely, leaving her completely exposed.
Her alluring skin glistened in the open air, exuding an irresistible charm—one that could ensnare even the hearts of women.
Hancock curled up on the ice, revealing a pitiful and delicate expression that could melt anyone's heart.
With such a look on her face, no one would have the heart to strike her.
BOOM!
Yet, in the next moment, Linlin's massive fist smashed mercilessly into Hancock's delicate body, sending her flying once again!
