Phoenix Reborn In One Piece-Chapter 190 - : A Clash of Conqueror’s Haki

"Ryuen, she's talking about you," Kuina said flatly.

"Hey~~~"

"Kuina, don't drag me into this. That woman is... a bit unusual. Besides, you can handle her yourself." Ryuen glanced down at Kuina from the lookout.

"What about me?"

"Am I not good enough?" Nami protested.

"Nami, don't mess around. She's still a Warlord of the Sea, and I already told you about her Devil Fruit power.

Kuina only cares about becoming the strongest swordsman. That woman's ability won't work on her." Ryuen patiently explained.

"Then I'll take care of this," Kuina said coolly.

She leaped onto the ship's bow, locking eyes with Boa Hancock.

"Boa Hancock, know your place. Right now, you're just a Warlord of the Sea. If you keep blocking our path, I'll show you what it feels like to have your ship sliced in half."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

On the Kuja Pirate Ship, all the women were stunned by Kuina's words. Their mouths hung open in shock, and some even dropped their weapons.

Boa Hancock frowned upon hearing this, clearly confused by Kuina's rude attitude toward her.

Normally, when she struck that kind of pose, no one could resist her charm. But the person in front of her showed no reaction at all.

Although she didn't understand it, her pride wouldn't allow her to tolerate such disrespect!

"You can try if you dare," Boa Hancock said coldly.

"Clang!"

With a sharp sound of a blade being drawn, Kuina fixed her cold gaze on Boa Hancock. Without hesitation, she unsheathed her sword, Wado Ichimonji.

At the same time, a powerful surge of sword energy erupted from the blade, merging with her own aura, making her presence even more intimidating.

In the next instant, a fierce flying slash shot toward the enemy ship like a bolt of lightning!

"A great swordsman!"

On the Perfume Snake, several officers gasped in shock at the sight.

They hadn't expected this young girl to have such overwhelming strength.

Boa Hancock's expression turned serious.

She knew how dangerous this attack was. If she didn't act fast, her ship could take severe damage.

Without hesitation, she charged at the incoming slash, her right foot quickly coated in dense black Armament Haki.

"Perfume Femur!"

With a graceful shout, she swung her leg like a whip, generating a powerful gust of wind as she struck the incoming attack head-on!

"Boom!!!"

A deafening explosion echoed as energy and sword aura clashed in mid-air. The two forces wrestled for several seconds before finally canceling each other out.

Boa Hancock landed back on her ship, standing proudly with her hands on her hips. Her high-slit qipao revealed her long, slender legs, an alluring sight.

However, Kuina remained unfazed. Her eyes were still as cold and resolute as before.

"Boa Hancock, that was just a warning. If you don't move aside, the next attack won't be so simple," Kuina said icily, her tone carrying an undeniable authority.

Boa Hancock glanced at Kuina, then shifted her gaze to the others on the Dream Ship.

Her expression remained calm and unreadable as if she were calculating her next move.

Her beauty and pride were on full display, but at the same time, so was the immense pressure she radiated.

Yet, her arrogance wouldn't allow her to back down.

She raised both hands in front of her, forming a heart shape with her fingers.

Just as she was about to unleash her "Mero Mero" attack—

A sudden and overwhelming force erupted from the Dream Ship.

In an instant, Ryuen released his Conqueror's Haki, sweeping across everything in its path like an unstoppable storm!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Even the railing of the Perfume Snake cracked under the pressure of this invisible force!

"Crackle... Crackle..."

The sky, which had been clear just moments ago, was now dark and heavy with storm clouds. Black and red lightning danced wildly across the sky like demons unleashed.

Everyone on the pirate ship turned their eyes in shock toward the man standing on the Dream Ship's lookout tower.

"H-He has the same Conqueror's Haki... as Lady Hancock..."

Marigold's voice trembled with disbelief.

Sandersonia stared at Ryuen, fear and awe filling her heart.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Kuja Pirates had already collapsed on the deck, unable to withstand the sheer force of Ryuen's Haki.

Marigold and Sandersonia felt dizzy, their heads spinning.

Boa Hancock was stunned.

She had always believed she was strong enough.

But now, she realized—this man's power was beyond anything she had imagined.

"Damn it!"

"Who do you think I am!" Boa Hancock was furious.

Her Conqueror's Haki burst out instantly, and in the blink of an eye, two powerful waves of Haki clashed!

The immense energy collided in midair, creating a violent explosion like a raging storm.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Zzzzt—Zzzzt—

Black and red lightning flashed and disappeared in the sky as the storm howled over the sea. The dark clouds above seemed to crack apart, pouring downward like an inverted tide.

The ships on both sides were now like small boats drifting helplessly in the storm.

"Boa Hancock, your presence is too weak. Today, I'm letting you off the hook only because you're a Warlord of the Sea. Now, move aside!" Ryuen spread his flaming wings, hovering above her as he shouted coldly.

Boa Hancock's cheeks flushed red—not from embarrassment, but from anger. She was furious, yet she had to admit that her aura was being completely overpowered.

But for someone as proud as her to bow down to a man she despised...

She couldn't do it!

"Arrogant man! I am not some weakling you imagine me to be!" Boa Hancock roared and charged straight at Ryuen!

Ryuen looked at the stubborn and defiant woman before him, and anger flared up in his heart. "You unreasonable woman! You don't know when to quit!"

He had already shown her enough tolerance, but she just wouldn't back down.

Ryuen flapped his wings, and in a blink, he appeared right in front of Boa Hancock.

"Perfume Kick!"

Without hesitation, Boa Hancock struck back. Her long, beautiful leg turned into a black streak of light as it slashed toward Ryuen with fierce momentum.

Seeing this, Ryuen quickly threw a punch and shouted, "Iron Fist!"

The two attacks collided in a deafening impact!

BOOM!

The force of their clash was so intense it seemed to tear the very space apart.

"Get down!"

The struggle lasted for a moment, but Ryuen, being in the dominant position, suddenly increased his strength, ready to send Boa Hancock crashing down.

Boa Hancock's eyes flashed, and in an instant, her other leg hooked around Ryuen's waist. Using the force of his punch, she dragged him down with her, sending them both crashing into the cabin of the Perfume Snake!

"You son of a—"

"Big sister!"

"Ryuen!"

Both crews gasped in shock at the scene.
