Chapter 98: Captain Vs Captain , Vice Captain Vs Vice Captain (Part 1)
Boom...
While Kahn was searching for Kaido, Hancock and Sandersonia had already located the sailboat carrying King and Queen.
Both women could fly and weren't about to wait for King and Queen to reach their boat, potentially endangering Viola and the Kuja warriors.
After pinpointing King and Queen's location, Hancock and Sandersonia launched an attack.
An invisible electric field enveloped the area.
Before Hancock even arrived, deafening thunder echoed in the blue sky.
Dazzling blue and white light and a thick electric snake appeared above King and Queen's sailboat.
In an instant, countless electric snakes and blue and white lights condensed into a massive blue and white light cluster.
This light cluster was many times larger than any produced by Enel.
When this huge light cluster transformed into a beam of light, it was enormous.
Boom!
The enormous light cluster quickly turned into a gigantic blue and white beam of light, falling towards the sailboat below.
The beam of light was almost the size of half a large sailing ship.
In this age of sail, everyone used wooden boats.
Even if the Thunder Pillar was less than one-third the size of a large sailing ship, it was enough to destroy it.
Lightning damage is secondary; the real terror is the electric heat.
When wood ignites, it triggers flammables, gunpowder, and shells in the cabin, maximizing the power of the lightning strike.
The momentum and power of Hancock's "God's Judgment" were terrifying, truly like a divine judgment.
Even the strongest Haki users in the New World would be shocked when caught in the range of this attack.
However, King, Queen, and the Beasts Pirates' crew were undaunted.
Especially the crew, who are confident in their commanders.
In the next second, King acted.
Standing at 6.13 meters, he drew his massive sword, several meters long.
Utilizing his Lunarian abilities, he wrapped his flame around the sword, swinging a dragon-shaped flame towards the sky. The flame's temperature rivaled magma.
The beam of light and the dragon-shaped flame collided mid-air.
The Thunder Pillar failed to split the Fire Dragon Emperor but turned into an electric snake, while the Fire Dragon exploded into a sky full of flames, painting the sky in blue, white, orange, and other colours.
"Not good, jump off the ship quickly!"
Blocking Hancock's "God's Judgment" with a single blow, King's expression changed under his black helmet before his subordinates could cheer. He immediately gave an order.
Hearing this, Queen and the crew who had mastered Observation Haki also seemed to sense something, their expressions changing drastically.
Boom!
Before they could move, the sailboat beneath them erupted with a deafening explosion.
The deck shook violently, and before they lost their balance, terrifying heat rose through the deck.
From a distance, a horrifying scene unfolded.
In the cabin of the sailboat, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in a certain room, and terrifying flames ignited the entire sailboat in just a few blinks of an eye.
It was as if the whole sailboat was doused in gasoline and set ablaze under the sun.
The culprit behind this inferno was Hancock, who used God's Judgment to attract attention.
While King swung his sword to block the thunder pillar and Queen and the others were distracted by the collision, Hancock teleported through an astonishingly large invisible electric field, bypassing all obstacles. She appeared in the cabin of the sailboat, found the ammunition depot, detonated all the shells, and released intense electric heat, setting the entire sailboat on fire.
The terrifying sea of flames instantly engulfed the pirates on the sailboat.
The speed was so fast that even the fire expert, King, couldn't react in time.
Fortunately, the pirates accompanying the team this time were prepared to deal with Kuja warriors who had mastered Haki. Many of them also had mastery over both types of Haki.
While some pirates were completely burnt out by the flames, others used Haki to block the flames, then rushed to the side of the boat and jumped into the sea.
"I was careless. I didn't expect the Logia Rumble Fruit's teleportation to bypass all obstacles," King muttered, flying out of the flames in his Zoan, Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Pteranodon form. He glanced at the burning sailboat below, ignoring the crew members who jumped into the sea and were calling for help, regretting his slow reaction.
"Damn it! That woman plays dirty with sneak attacks. It's really shameless," Queen, standing at 6.12 meters tall and extremely fat, yelled. "If it weren't for me preparing a floating device in advance, I would've been caught in an instant."
"If this bastard, King, sees me getting killed, how will I face anyone in the future?"
"You fat pig, you're really noisy," a cold but pleasant female voice suddenly came from behind Queen.
A flash of lightning appeared out of thin air, transforming into Hancock. She had swapped her black and white maid uniform for a black cheongsam with the Kuja logo since she was leading the soldiers.
With a swift move, Hancock infused her long legs and special high-heeled shoes with lightning, delivering a powerful kick to Queen.
In the next second, Queen, whose body was like a hill, immediately turned into a huge afterimage, falling toward the sky below. However, on the way down, Queen's body vanished.
Phew—
Before Hancock could react, the ear-piercing sound of something cutting through the air reached her ears.
King, seeing Hancock kick Queen away, lengthened the sharp beak of his Pteranodon form into a black spear imbued with Armament Haki and incredible piercing power, lunging toward Hancock.
Simultaneously, a golden laser appeared out of thin air above the sea below.
The golden laser shot into the sky, almost following the path of the black spear, aiming at Hancock.
In response, Hancock transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared, reappearing somewhere in the electric field, effortlessly dodging the deadly attacks from King and the now-invisible Queen.
Before going invisible, Queen uses the floating device to attack Hancock, which leads to a shocking scene.
"Night Realm!"
An extremely ghostly figure quickly entered the battlefield, accurately finding Queen's hidden position. Releasing a thick black mist, the figure quickly formed a huge black ball, enveloping both Queen and the figure.
The newcomer was Sandersonia, who had transformed from her beast form to her human-beast form.
