****************
Boom!
Like thunder crashing from the skies, Amazon Lily erupted with swirling winds and dark clouds with his yell.
The deafening roar of anger reverberated across the field, leaving the female warriors shaken.
Pale-faced, they trembled as the airwave centered on Colt dispersed the incoming rain of arrows in an instant.
Yet it wasn't conqueror's haki. Just pure aura.
Inside the palace of Amazon Lily,
Hancock, seated regally, had already been informed of an approaching ship.
She dismissed it as trivial and sent her subordinates to repel the intruder, ordering them to kill if it was necessary.
But then came the voice—loud, commanding, and brazen:
"Boa Hancock! If you don't want me to wipe out your warriors, come out now!"
The booming sound shook the palace walls, causing dust to cascade from the ceilings.
Hancock's face darkened visibly, and she abruptly stood up, fury blazing in her eyes.
"Where did this madman come from, daring to hurl such insolent words at someone as beautiful as me?!"
Her voice seethed with outrage.
"And worse… that's the voice of a… man!"
Elder Nyon, standing nearby, frowned deeply, her expression serious.
"Hancock, be cautious. It doesn't seem like the voice belongs to someone easy to deal with. If you can, drive them away without escalating this further."
Amazon Lily, nestled within the Calm Belt, was difficult for outsiders to reach.
Yet this man not only managed to arrive but brazenly called Hancock out by name—a clear sign of his strength and confidence.
"Hmph!" Hancock brushed aside a stray lock of hair; her expression filled with self-assuredness.
Her high heels clicked on the floor as she marched toward the entrance, followed closely by her younger sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold.
"You old hag, you should just focus on supporting my decisions instead of nagging as usual."
"At any rate, as long as he's a man, he'll bow down before my unparalleled beauty and acknowledge his folly," she said with a haughty smirk.
"After all... I am absolutely Beautiful."
Elder Nyon sighed, shaking her head as she followed with her cane.
A sense of unease lingered in her chest.
****
After his roaring declaration left the Amazon Lily warriors too frightened to act, Colt stood still, arms crossed, awaiting Hancock's arrival. The female warriors exchanged anxious glances but dared not make the first move.
A tense stalemate ensued, broken only by rustling from the forest.
Colt's gaze shifted upward.
Emerging from the shadows was a majestic pink boa, its head adorned with intricate markings.
Behind it followed long, flawless white legs leading up to the figure of Boa Hancock herself.
With her signature hairstyle, a slit dress that accentuated her beauty, and deep almond-shaped eyes, she exuded an almost divine allure.
Even Colt, who had steeled himself for this encounter, couldn't help but acknowledge her flawless features.
'He's a man as expected, but he seems different than the others, he's a bit interesting to look at…' Hancock murmured inwardly, though her arrogance would never allow her to admit it aloud.
Still, just for that, her anger softened slightly, downgraded from a death sentence to a mere imprisonment.
That was how she ruled. By her emotions.
"Surrender now, and I may grant leniency to your companions." Her haughty tone carried a cruel edge.
"As for you, you'll spend the rest of your life in prison."
Her voice dripped with pride as she glanced down at Colt, already imagining him as a captive—a trophy for her amusement.
The surrounding female warriors swooned at her words, adoring their empress.
"Hime-sama is so beautiful! She's so magnanimous!"
"My heart can't take this perfection!"
Colt, unimpressed by the theatrics, sighed internally.
He had been demoted in her mind to a trophy prisoner without even a proper introduction.
"I'm here to make a deal, Hancock," he said firmly.
Hancock raised an eyebrow, her arrogance unwavering.
"What gives you the audacity to propose a deal with me? A beautiful empress such as myself has no need for bargains—whatever I desire is willingly delivered to me."
Colt was annoyed.
The veins in his temple were throbbing.
Despite preparing himself for her vanity, it still tested his patience.
"This woman really needs a lesson," he muttered.
He then looked at her straight and mouthed a certain word.
The rest didn't manage to pick it up, but Hancock and her sisters' expressions shifted sharply. A single word from Colt had struck a nerve, dredging up painful memories.
"Who are you?!" Her commanding tone betrayed a flicker of fear.
Colt maintained his calm demeanor.
"As I said before, I'm here to make a deal. If you refuse, I'll just resort to violence and take what I need."
Incensed, Hancock crossed her arms before her chest and unleashed her signature move.
"Mero Mero Mellow!"
A pink light shot toward Colt. He didn't move, allowing it to hit him directly.
Nothing happened.
Hancock froze, her confidence shattered.
"Impossible!" she exclaimed. "How can there be someone immune to my beauty?!"
The female warriors stared at Colt, their expressions incredulous.
"This person, is he even human?!"
"How is he not enchanted by our empress's unrivaled beauty?!"
Colt sighed.
"It seems reasoning with you is just a waste of time."
With a graceful step, Hancock lunged forward, her leg wrapped in [Armament Haki] as she executed her Perfume Femur attack.
Colt sidestepped effortlessly, catching her ankle in midair.
Before he threw her aside, he paused.
"Boa Hancock... did you clean your feet before you came here?"
Her face contorted in anger at the insult. He was implying that she was dirty.
"You should die!" she screamed, abandoning her usual royal demeanor.
The intensity of her anger activated her Conqueror's Haki, surging in waves that left the nearby warriors trembling.
Colt smirked, unfazed.
"Conqueror's Haki, huh? It's bold of you to use that against me."
Tossing her aside, he summoned water to wash his hands, an act that further incensed Hancock.
Then, with a cold glint in his eyes, he muttered:
"I haven't even unleashed mine yet."
The air around him grew heavy, and red energy flickered in his gaze.
For the first time, Colt unleashed his Conqueror's Haki upon this world.

****************
People and their constitutions cannot be generalized to be comparable.
Some struggle, and some have it easy.
The power of Conqueror's Haki was fully awakened in Colt's body the moment he came to this world.
In an instant, it had reached an incomparably deep level.
Haki, at its core, was simply the energy produced by the spirit and body.
When it comes to manipulating energy, Colt, who had become one with the divine tree, had reached a level beyond comprehension.
Even Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Isshiki, members of a high-level alien race, could not compare to him.
In the past, Colt had primarily utilized [Armament Haki] and [Observation Haki].
His Conqueror's Haki had remained dormant, never unleashed.
However, Boa Hancock's unintentional move today piqued Colt's interest.
When she attempted to overwhelm him with her Conqueror's Haki, it only seemed fair to strike back with his own.
Though it was his first time using it, and he lacked full control, the results were... excessive.
An overwhelming surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Colt's body, unrestrained.
The world turned colorless, and an eerie silence enveloped the surroundings.
Moments later—
Boom!
The clear skies darkened.
Thunderclouds amassed, violent lightning roared across the heavens, and the previously tranquil sea erupted into a restless tsunami.
An aura of dominion shot into the skies, shaking the very foundation of the world.
Countless Sea Kings fainted, their massive bodies tossed lifelessly into the ocean, barely creating ripples.
As far as the eye could see, scenes of devastation and chaos unfolded, resembling the end of the world.
****
Far away in the New World, figures like Madara, Sasuke, and the Red-Haired Emperor—one of the Four Emperors—paused in their activities.
At the Navy Headquarters, Naruto and Aokiji, immersed in their duties, felt their hearts skip a beat.
They instinctively looked to the sky, only to see nothing out of the ordinary.
Their confusion grew as they exchanged glances.
Madara, seated in the rebuilt Shogun Mansion, narrowed his eyes in thought.
"Colt? Could it be him?"
The sensation of unease pointed directly to him.
This was no coincidence.
The strong have their instincts, and Madara's told him that Colt was the only one capable of causing such a disturbance.
The so-called Four Emperors?
They didn't deserve such credit.
****
At the same time, in Mariejois, within the Sacred Land, the figure seated on the Void Throne trembled briefly before regaining composure.
"An illusion? No... Why did I feel fear?" came a faint muttering.
Then…
"Investigate…" came the cold command.
****
On Amazon Lily, the Kuja warriors collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Even Hancock, their Empress, knelt weakly, pale and drenched in sweat.
Despite her Conqueror's Haki, she struggled to remain conscious.
The immense gap between her and Colt's power left her trembling.
Regret filled her heart.
If she hadn't awakened Conqueror's Haki, she could've blissfully fainted like her sisters.
The mental agony of enduring Colt's overwhelming energy felt like her soul was being ripped apart.
Colt approached her, crouching to meet her at eye level.
"Apologies, Empress. It seems I overdid it."
Though his words expressed regret, his expression betrayed no sincerity.
Colt had long since lost a proper sense of his own strength.
He knew he was strong—exceptionally so—but his exact limits remained unknown.
Even after restraining himself, the destruction he caused exceeded expectations.
Perhaps next time he should use even less than 30% of his strength.
Lifting Hancock's chin with a hand, Colt locked eyes with her misty gaze.
"Now, tell me how Amazon Lily trains Haki."
His voice was soft yet commanding as he leaned closer to her ear.
Hancock instinctively wanted to refuse, but his grip on her chin left no room for defiance.
Looking around, she saw her people collapsed on the ground.
"Hancock, you wouldn't want your people to suffer further because of your pride, would you?"
Faced with the overwhelming presence of Colt, Hancock finally relented.
****
Inside the palace, Hancock retrieved a few books from a hidden mechanism in the side hall.
"These contain the methods to train Haki," she said reluctantly.
Colt flipped through the book briefly, confirming its authenticity.
"When you get what you want, please leave my country at once," Hancock pleaded, choosing her words carefully.
Despite her prideful nature, even she could recognize the insurmountable difference in strength between them.
He was the predator, and she was the prey.
Yet, resentment lingered in her heart. To her, this was nothing short of a robbery.
Colt shook his head with a faint smile.
"You misunderstood. I came to make a trade, not to rob you. You've given me these books, but I haven't paid my end of the bargain yet."
"No need. Leaving my island will suffice as payment," Hancock snapped, turning her back to him.
****
Colt suddenly moved, and Hancock panicked.
"What are you doing?!" she shouted as the sound of fabric tearing echoed.
"Relax. This might hurt a little," Colt replied calmly.
***
Ten minutes later, Hancock stood before Colt in a fresh outfit, her expression conflicted.
The mark on her back—the source of her deepest nightmares—was gone.
"Thank you," she whispered.
"It was a fair trade," Colt replied.
Tossing the Haki training books back to her, he added, "I've memorized everything."
'I'll share it with the Ninja Alliance.'
Without another word, Colt began walking toward the pier, ready to leave.
Hancock silently followed him, stopping at the shore as he boarded his ship.
"What's your name?" she called out.
Colt glanced back with a slight smirk.
"Colt. Kamiyo Colt."
With that, the ship turned, and Colt sailed away from Amazon Lily.
