One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

At this moment, Luffy looked at Hancock motionless, and a thought immediately flashed through his simple mind: this strange woman must be trying to harm him.

So, he immediately rolled up his sleeves without hesitation. The action was quick and decisive, without any hesitation at all.

His bronze arms gleamed with a healthy luster in the sun, his muscles were taut like a bull about to charge, each muscle was like hard rock, full of explosive power, showing great strength.

"Hmph, no matter what your conspiracy is, I'm not afraid of you. Watch me knock you down!" Luffy's face turned red, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes burned with flames of anger. He shouted loudly and aggressively.

His immature yet powerful voice echoed in the clearing in the forest, as if it could break through all obstacles.

As he spoke, he squatted down slightly, his feet firmly rooted to the ground, and lowered the center of gravity of his entire body, assuming a standard fighting posture.

He raised his clenched fist high, his muscles were as tight as hard stone, and the blue veins on his fist were clearly visible like winding snakes.

His eyes were fixed on Hancock, revealing his fearless determination, and he was ready to swing his powerful fist at Hancock, as if he was going to pour all his strength on this woman who he thought was going to harm him in the next second.

Just as Luffy's clenched fist was about to swing towards Hancock, time seemed to freeze at this moment. In a flash, Ling Tian jumped directly between the two of them like a bolt of lightning that cuts through the night sky.

His figure was so fast that only a blurry afterimage was left behind, and the air around him seemed to be suddenly torn apart, making a whooshing sound.

His movements were swift and decisive, each one was clean and neat, without the slightest drag. His body brought up a gust of wind, which was like a raging wave, sweeping in all directions with overwhelming force.

The dust on the ground flew up like disturbed elves, and together with the fallen leaves blown down by the wind, it formed a chaotic scene in the air.

Ling Tian opened his arms. His arms were like spread-out wings of steel, solid and powerful.

He was like an extremely solid wall, a wall built of firm will and fearless courage, which separated the two of them.

His eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty, a determination to stop the conflict. His appearance successfully stopped the conflict that was about to break out, like a solid shield covering the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt, preventing the surging magma from erupting.

When Luffy saw Ling Tian suddenly appear, his angry face immediately turned into a bright smile, like a dark cloud pierced by the sun. That smile was as gorgeous as a flower blooming in spring, full of vitality and energy.

He jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Ling Tian, ​​you're here just in time. This strange woman wants to attack me. Let's defeat her together!"

As he spoke, he waved his fist vigorously, with a fighting light flashing in his eyes, and he fully believed that Ling Tian was here to help him fight.

When Hancock saw another person suddenly appear, her eyes instantly became serious. She frowned slightly, and a trace of vigilance flashed in her eyes.

Her graceful body leaned back slightly in a defensive posture, like a frightened beautiful cheetah, ready to attack at any time.

Because Ling Tian was facing Luffy with his back to her, she did not recognize who Ling Tian was, but instinctively felt that this sudden appearance of the person might bring new variables.

Ling Tian ignored Luffy's excitement. He looked at Luffy seriously and shouted, "Luffy, stop! She is not an enemy, you can't attack her."

His voice was firm and powerful, like the sound of a huge bell, echoing in the open space.

When Luffy heard Ling Tian's words, he scratched his head in confusion.

When Hancock heard Ling Tian's voice, she felt it sounded familiar, and a hint of doubt flashed in her beautiful eyes.

However, she still did not let down her guard, secretly gathering strength in her hands, ready to deal with possible dangers. Her eyes were fixed on Ling Tian's back, as if she was staring at a bomb that could explode at any time.

Ling Tian felt Hancock's increased defense behind him, sighed helplessly, and slowly said: "Hancock, there's no need to be so wary of me. We are old acquaintances."

As he spoke, he slowly lowered his arms, turned around, his movements light and natural, with a gentle smile on his face, and looked at Hancock.

When Hancock saw Ling Tian's face, her originally tense body relaxed instantly, and the vigilance in her eyes disappeared without a trace.

Her beautiful lips opened slightly, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Mr. Ling Tian!" Her voice was full of surprise and joy, as if she had seen an old friend she had not seen for a long time.

Ling Tian smiled slightly, and that smile was like warm sunshine, dispelling the tense atmosphere around him. He said to Hancock: "Long time no see, Hancock, you are still so beautiful." His words were sincere and kind, with a hint of teasing.

Then, Ling Tian patted his forehead lightly, a wry smile appeared on his face, he turned to Hancock and began to explain patiently.

He pursed his lips in Luffy's direction and said, "Hancock, this is Luffy. He is my current captain. Although this guy sometimes acts rashly, he is not a bad person. Don't bother with him."

Hancock raised her chin slightly, her beautiful eyes moving, looking at the silly boy in a straw hat in front of her with a bit of arrogance and scrutiny.

She snorted and thought to herself, "Is this Mr. Ling Tian's captain? He looks ordinary, how could Ling Tian be willing to follow him?"

Immediately, Hancock seemed to suddenly remember something, her brows slightly frowned, and the scene of Luffy facing her just now appeared in her mind.

His own fruit ability actually had no effect on him, which had never happened before.

No matter whether it is the ferocious pirates on the Grand Line or the self-important nobles in the holy land of Marijoa, as long as one can display his abilities, they will all be impressed by them.

She gently twisted her hair with her slender fingers, analyzing in her mind: "Generally speaking, there are only two situations in which one can be immune to my ability. One is that the Conqueror's Haki is strong enough to completely suppress my fruit ability."

When Hancock thought of this, her eyes became deep, and she looked at Luffy secretly, trying to find a trace of domineering from him.

"The other one..." Hancock's mouth corners slightly raised, as if smiling, "I am not interested in this guy in the straw hat in front of me."

As the owner of three colors of Haki, Hancock's perception and understanding of Haki far exceeds that of ordinary people. What's more, Amazon Lily comes from a country that specializes in practicing Haki. She grew up in such an environment and is extremely sensitive to Haki.

Therefore, she was sure that Luffy had not used Haki just now. Her eyes fell on Luffy again, as if she was looking at a strange monster.
