"Is that the person that Lord Snake Ji has repeatedly challenged but failed repeatedly?"

In the waters of the GN-25 branch, a warship stayed quietly on the sea, with the sails furled and the anchor dropped. A figure that could not be called tall, let alone majestic, was sitting on the guardrail of the warship.

Opposite the warship is a fleet of pirate ships, and on the leading ship, the empress of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, Boya Hancock, is standing on the deck, looking at Skyler on the warship with complicated eyes.

.

Hancock heard the whispers of the Amazon warriors and other citizens behind her. If she heard someone dare to criticize her in normal times, Hancock would definitely punish them in the most severe way.

But at this time, she was in no mood to care about other people's rudeness. She couldn't feel any pride in front of Skyler, because Skyler made her feel like a more perfect version of herself.

No matter in terms of ability or experience, Skyler lives like she is in her most ideal state. Needless to say, there is no one who can be said to be better than Skyler in terms of strength.

Even if we list some characters who may be equal to Skyler, we can only find them from the legends of the past. In today's era, Skyler is undoubtedly the number one.

But for Hancock, what she envies even more is Skyler's experience, because sometimes, when she thinks of Skyler, she feels like a deserter.

Skyler has no past enmity with the Draco, but when the Draco makes a mistake, she dares to scold him and even take action, even going to the extent of killing him.

However, Hancock, who had an insatiable hatred against the Celestial Dragons, had never really attacked the Celestial Dragons. Even when she was closest to the Celestial Dragons, she could only reach them on foot.

Hancock was very envious of Skyler's courage to face everything, and also envied Skylar's ability to dare to draw his sword and defeat everything even when faced with a desperate situation.

Hancock also tried to cultivate his courage and determination little by little, such as setting a goal for himself and striving to make a little progress every year. He did not seek to defeat Skyler at his most powerful age, but only sought to keep the distance between the two.

shorten.

Hancock persisted with such a small goal for ten years, but just after the top war two years ago, when she saw that Skyler was growing faster than her and making greater progress than her, she decided again.

Broken.

Even if a hunter pursues his prey, after the prey quickly escapes, the hunter will change his target, not to mention that the relationship between Hancock and Skyler is far from being called a hunter and prey.

However, in the past two years, Hancock has been telling himself that he has more important things to do, so he has no time to challenge Skyler.

But today, she truly realized that she was not a busy person, she just lacked courage, or in other words, she gave up her useless fantasies after realizing that she had no hope at all.

If she could face herself like this three days ago, then she might not even leave the first half of the Great Channel, or even the windless zone.

It's just that I've arrived here and made it clear that I'm here for a challenge. It would be ridiculous to just calm down like this.

"Forget it, I will be defeated in an instant anyway."

Hancock murmured in his heart, then raised his head, looked in the direction of Skyler, and said: "Lieutenant General Skyler, I'm here for you this time."

She wanted to shout out "I can beat you" with some unfounded confidence like every time in the past, but today she couldn't say it.

Next to Hancock, the two sisters looked at Hancock with some worry. They had never seen their sister show such a look. Even when he was detained by the Tianlong people when he was young, Hancock had never been like this.

Wandered over.

Skyler slowly turned his head back at this time, turned sideways, looked at Hancock, and asked: "Will you challenge me again in the future?"

Hearing this, Hancock bit his lip and did not give an answer. He had already made a decision after going to war, but he didn't know how to say it.

But Skyler understood and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you won't have this opportunity again in the future. Since this is the last challenge, naturally you can't take it lightly.

I have already found an uninhabited island. If you are not going to back down this time, then just follow my ship."

After Skyler finished speaking, she didn't turn around to give instructions. The anchor of the warship crashed into the sea and was rolled up, and then the roar of the engine was heard at this time.

The warship quickly adjusted its direction and then sailed away into the distance.

On the Nine Snakes pirate ship dragged by Youlong, Sandasonia whispered to Hancock: "Sister, this time we just used an excuse to challenge Vice Admiral Skyler. In fact, we just wanted to come to the New World to see the attitude of the navy.

.

Actually we’re not going”

"Follow up."

Hancock said firmly, Sandasonia was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Sister, but"

"Don't you understand?" Hancock looked at his sister and said, "Soon, there will be no more King Shichibukai in this sea. This is my last chance."

At this time, Sandasonia finally realized that Skyler's words just now were a hint, no, a clear indication that the Shichibukai system was about to be abolished.

This can also explain why the Navy treated itself like that in the windless zone three days ago, because Hancock's privileges as the King's Shichibukai were about to expire.

It's just that it hasn't been announced yet, so the Navy can't really take action against Hancock as the Shichibukai. However, once the King's Shichibukai is abolished, Hancock and the entire Amazon Lily Kingdom will be in danger.

If the Shichibukai system is abolished, then this time will indeed be Hancock's last chance to challenge Skyler, but Sandasonia frowned and said:

"Sister, if the Shichibukai system is abolished, then we must find a way out. If you challenge Lieutenant General Skyler at this time and are injured, then we"

"I told you to follow me!"

Hancock interrupted Sandasonia with a very dissatisfied tone. How could she not know that once the Shichibukai system is abolished, the Amazon Lily Kingdom will become the enemy of the World Government.

She also knew that if she continued this challenge, she would inevitably get injured, and if she was injured and "turned friends into enemies" with the Navy, especially within the waters under Schuyler's jurisdiction, there would be almost no possibility for her and her fellow citizens to leave.

But isn't she, Boya Hancock, the person who is said to be willful?

Sandasonia heard Hancock's order. After pondering for a while, she could only nod her head and carry out Hancock's order. Soon the fleet turned around and followed the route of the warships of the Zhanye detachment.

As if to take care of the speed of the Amazon Lily Kingdom fleet, the warships of the Zhanye detachment were not very fast. They sailed for a while and stopped when they approached the windless zone.

The place where it docked was an archipelago. The structure seemed somewhat similar to the Chambord Islands, both of which were composed of the roots of certain plants.

However, it is obvious that the plants that make up this island are not as strange as the Yarchman mangroves that make up the Chambord Islands. The land here does not look solid and the scale is much smaller.

The soil above is somewhat loose. Under the wash of the waves, you can even see part of the soil collapse, exposing the sea below. Such a place is very unfriendly to people with fruit abilities.

Especially when fighting, if you are not careful, you may step on the soil under your feet and fall into the sea. If a person with abilities is immersed in the sea, he will undoubtedly fail.

Seeing that Skyler had chosen such a venue, Hancock's face looked a little ugly. It was not because he maliciously speculated that Skyler wanted her to fall into the sea, but because Hancock was not sure that he could withstand such a test.

Hancock didn't have time to think too much when he saw Skyler had jumped up from the warship and landed on an "island". Even with Skyler's size, he just landed on the island. The whole island had

Signs of subsidence.

This is just the landing. If the battle starts later, and the force is exerted, collided, or the force is dissipated and bombarded, can this archipelago really be able to sustain it?

Sandasonia and others also wanted to dissuade Hancock, but before they could speak, Hancock gritted his teeth, jumped up from the deck, and also jumped to the island where Skyler was.

When he landed, Hancock clearly felt the sinking under his feet, and there was a faint sound of tree roots breaking. At the same time, the small piece of soil quickly became moist.

Hancock quickly moved his steps and came to another place that looked more solid, and then looked at Skyler.

Skyler also spoke at this time: "I have never seen a strong person who is really afraid of the sea, whether it is Kuzan, Sakaski, Porusalino or Katakuri.

Not to mention people like Edward Newgate and Charlotte Lingling who can even control the sea. If you are still worried about the ground under your feet that may break at any time and the sea that may fall at any time, then there is only one reason.

That means you are not strong enough."

Hancock frowned and was noncommittal. Who were the people Skyler listed? They were either generals or kings of the sea. They were powerful, but there were only a few such people in an era.

No matter how confident or even arrogant Hancock is, she cannot be so arrogant as to be able to compete with these people. Even if she may dare to fight against these people, she still has her own judgment in her heart.

But Schuyler is right. The people she listed are indeed not afraid of the sea, because they are indeed strong enough to avoid the sea or even conquer it.

Skyler also continued at this time: "You first set sail at the age of eighteen and obtained a reward of nearly 100 million. This is amazing, but your growth is lackluster.

More than ten years have passed, and now you, even if the Shichibukai system is abolished and the bounty is restarted, including the entire Amazon Lily Kingdom, the bounty is only around one billion beli.

With all due respect, if the Navy and the World Government had known about the situation in the Amazon Lily Kingdom more than ten years ago, you would have received a similar bounty."

Hearing Skyler's disparagement, Hancock's face turned ugly, but he had no way to refute it. From the age of eighteen to thirty-one, Hancock's growth in thirteen years was indeed not amazing.

At least compared to her first experience when she represented the Amazon Lily Kingdom, her growth was indeed lackluster as Skyler said.

"What exactly do you want to tell me?"

Hancock couldn't help it anymore and asked dissatisfiedly. Skyler nodded and said: "If you want to survive after the abolition of the Shichibukai system, or follow someone, your current strength is far from enough.

.

In fact, your current strength cannot survive today, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"Humph! I understand, didn't you just want to say that you can kill me at any time?"

"I don't mean to say it, but I want to do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two black knives were unsheathed, and the short-bladed White Fang was also pulled out by the ghost silk. Just like the tail of a scorpion raised when fighting, the poisonous needle was swinging in the air.

At the same time, Skyler's unparalleled fierce sword force also burst out, and the soil under her feet exploded and flew, revealing the fragile roots and branches that were involved in these sudden attacks.

The surrounding soil that covered several islands was also cracking and becoming loose. The woods on the sea were also being swept away by Skyler's sword, and scars were constantly being cut.

Not even a fallen leaf could fall to the ground completely, and the ships docked by the island and the people on the ships all squinted their eyes. Once they opened their eyes, they felt the stinging feeling of facing a hurricane.

"Need to retreat?"

Jinbe asked Nurkic. Nurkic glanced at Kuji's fleet, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid they won't trust us, so just resist here.

Didn't you say that you have made progress now and can challenge Lieutenant General Garp at any time within two years?"

Hearing Nurkic's words, Fatty Blue smiled and scratched his head. A shy blush appeared on Fatty Blue's face and said: "I'm just talking, don't tell Bogart.

As for challenging Lieutenant General Garp, it should be two years later, after all, that was the final time limit originally agreed upon."

Seeing that Jinbe had taken back the lofty ambitions that had been inspired by Skyler when he killed the Celestial Dragon ten days ago, Nurkic also smiled and shook his head and said:

"Then it depends on your performance. In the past, I was cut into pieces by the commander's sword and slashes. Today, it's up to you."
