"One Piece" Events:
"Marigold!!" "Sandersonia!!" "Take that man's head!!!" Hancock ordered coldly... She could no longer bear the presence of such a "man" who felt no love towards her.
"Leave it to us, Sister..." As the two 'Huge Sisters' entered the arena, they transformed into giant snakes.
"So they're fruit users!!" Luffy realized that in an instant...
"Here it is!! The gorgon's curse!!"
"The younger Gorgon sisters are starting their 'Dance of Saragi'!!"
"Death!!"
"Death!!"
"Death!!"
... While the audience remained ignorant of the nature of Devil Fruits.
Hancock's sisters surrounded Luffy in the middle, ready to tear him apart at any moment.
Amazon Lily Art Store:
The stars sparkled in the eyes of both little sisters, Mari and Sonia, as they watched their future counterparts battle against Luffy.
And it couldn't even be called a 'battle' at first, just a mockery of Luffy, who had no knowledge of Haki yet.
"This... is amazing!"
"I never imagined I would fight Luffy in the future!"
"Me neither!"
The sisters, whom Rob had resized to 'normal,' were approximately Robin's age. Besides Hancock, they're also the main characters in the story their father is telling them at present.
They're also his dear children.
Seeing themselves in the manga made them extremely excited, just like Hancock, but the events in the manga and their encounters with Luffy made things seem very strange.
They undoubtedly felt bitter and complex emotions, as deep down they wanted Luffy to win... but who was Luffy's opponent this time?
It was them and their older sister!!
And even all the women of Amazon Lily!
Surely, these young children did not want to see this.
"Will the situation continue as it is, Dad?"
"Will we easily defeat Luffy because he doesn't know Haki? Or will Luffy win somehow and get what he wants, and we end up as enemies?"
This time, Little Hancock asked.
Rob remained silent for a while before speaking:
"A significant change will happen later, and you'll like it."
"But first, the world will witness the awakening of the king for the first time..."
"The awakening of the king for the first time? Which king?"
...
Marigoa:
"A few small snakes playing with the story's protagonist, the one even Rob Lucci lost to in a fiery battle... Where is the logic in that arc?"
"Why does Luffy seem so weak? Isn't he fighting seriously?"
"It's not that he's not fighting seriously... but he has finally encountered an opponent who masters two types of Haki..."
"Does that mean Rob Lucci wasn't proficient in Haki?"
"Even Smoker wasn't."
"Seriously? How can a captain from the headquarters not master Haki before going out? That's illogical..."
"It can be explained that CP9 members stationed in the first half of the Grand Line don't master Haki because it's not part of their training program... but what about the Marine captains...?"
"Perhaps because he couldn't learn Haki, he was initially sent to the weak East Blue..."
"Not just Smoker... even Shichibukai Crocodile and Moria... How can Shichibukai who should have sailed across the New World not know about Haki and lose to a beginner?"
The Five Elders were extremely puzzled about the reason why Smoker, in particular, didn't master Haki... after all, if he were proficient in Haki, Luffy wouldn't have been able to escape his grasp repeatedly...
"Simply put, it's because of the plot armor." Imu-sama spoke at that moment.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, a certain scene caught her attention, and it left the Five Elders staring in awe for a while.
"So, he's awakened... Fufufu~ Things are starting to get more fun."
After a one-sided battle, Sandersonia lifted Margaret's petrified body, intending to shatter her to make Luffy feel even more desperate.
"Hey!! What are you doing?!! Don't touch her!!! What'll happen if she breaks!? I owe my life to her!!" said Luffy, angrily.
"If she breaks? Well, I'll feel sorry for her... But this is your punishment after all..." replied Sandersonia.
"Don't screw around!! This fight is between you two and me, isn't it?!!" exclaimed Luffy.
At that moment, Marigold grabbed Luffy by her tail. Although she, as a user of the Hebi Hebi no Mi - Model: King Cobra, wasn't as skilled in squeezing as her sister who ate the Model: Anaconda, her massive size allowed her to overpower Luffy.
"You're the only one who thinks this is a fight...!! This is a public execution," said Marigold.
"Be quiet and watch...!! This is nothing compared to the wounds on my sister's heart!!" she added.
("Lady Hebihime is a woman that everyone in this country admires. She's strong and elegant, and her beauty is unparalleled.")
Luffy remembered Margaret's description of the empress of this place. Then he shouted:
"She looked up to you!!"
"Ufufu, everybody in this country does, so I think they'll be satisfied!!" replied Sandersonia instead of Hancock.
"There's no way they will!! Are you an idiot!!?"
"Oh my, what vulgar words... 3... 2..."
Sandersonia began the countdown until Margaret would fall to the hard ground.
"Margaret!!" Kikyu shouted in despair.
"1...!!"
"I TOLD YOU TO STOP!!"
A wave of pure mental power emanated from Luffy like a shockwave and swept through the Colosseum.
As Margaret was about to fall, Sandersonia was stunned, as if her head had been struck with a hammer. She stopped instinctively.
The eyes of Sandersonia and Marigold widened, and women in the audience started fainting one after another.
"KYAAA!!"
"Some of the warriors are fainting!!"
"...!!? Could it be...!!?"
"That was... Haou-Type Haki...!!!"
"That can't be!! The odds of having it are less than one in a million... It's the haki of the chosen ones!!!"
"My sister is the only person I've ever seen who could use that...!!!"
"This man... he has the 'Qualities of a King,' the disposition to stand above others...!!!"
"He has the same Haou-Type as me...!!? How could that be?!! This man... He's not just some brat...!!"
Marineford:
"As expected..."
Sengoku's forehead quivered as he witnessed this scene for the first time.
"Damn pirate!" Akainu unconsciously tightened his grip, while Zephyr, Momonga, and even Tsuru exhaled cold breaths.
"He's Garp-san's grandson after all..." Momonga said.
"As expected from a pirate aspiring to be the Pirate King... His determination is genuine, then..." Sengoku could only sigh silently.
"His strong desire to save the girl he owes his life to allowed his Conqueror's Haki to erupt for the first time... What a wonderful and kind boy he is." Tsuru felt warmth and positive emotions growing once again towards Luffy.
"Even Hancock possesses Conqueror's Haki!!... I'll make a note of it... No one possesses this kind of power casually."
"She's an Empress... no wonder."
