Chapter 129 - Choice
The Marine ship has anchored a little away from the borders of Amazon Lily. Within a few minutes after Blaize sent the message, tension arose between the Marines and women of the Kuja tribe.
Hundred some women in warrior clothing gathered at the Island port, pointing the arrows at them that were coated with Haki.
Fortunately, they didn\'t attack but waited for their Empress\'s order. Even so, the marine soldiers on the ship were extremely nervous so they pointed the canons and pistols at the warriors, for their share.
As for Blaize, he didn\'t care about them he just relaxed in his favorite recliner arranged in the front deck of the ship, waiting for Boa Hancock to appear.
It didn\'t take long, not even fifteen minutes passed before his observation Haki picked several figures approaching from the center of the Island.
\'Finally!\' Blaize rose to his feet and stretched his hands.
"Hebihime-sama...." The Kuja warriors made way for Hancock noticing her presence. She came forward, walking step by step showing her endless charm and elegance.
She wore a yellow dress that\'s adorned with the emblem of the Kuja and a pair of golden earrings that resemble snakes made her even more beautiful.
Even Blaize who has seen countless beauties of the earth has to admit her beauty is indeed out of this world. Especially, her hourglass figure. \'No wonder everyone\'s charmed by her.\'
When he looked at his companions, he revealed a helpless expression. All the marine soldiers had an infatuated expression, their eyes filled with tenderness and love.
Regis and Rosinante are no exceptions. Forget about them, even Kuina is affected by her as he heard her murmur. \'How can a woman be so beautiful?\'
Every one of them has turned into gleeful suitors of Boa Hancock. Knowing they are hopeless, Blaize stepped forward to meet her himself.
At first glance, Hancock seems to be arrogant, selfish, and spoiled but Blaize knew deep down, she is a rather sensitive and vulnerable woman who is afraid and concerned about how other people might react to the truth of the shameful past that she and her sisters experienced.
Another human being affected by the cruel and despicable deeds of world nobles.
"So you came, Bao Hancock, Empress of the Amazon Lily. I thought you won\'t. Let me introduce myself, I am Blaize, Headquarters–"
Before he could finish the introduction, Hancock interrupted him midway. "I don\'t care who you are and have no interest in aligning myself with the World government to become a Warlord of the sea."
"Oh!" Blaize shook his head in pity,
"You have a bounty of 80 million berries and even turned many of the Marine soldiers into the stone using your devil fruit ability. Since you rejected the offer, then as a Marine I have no choice but to arrest you."
"No matter what I do, even if I reject the offer, even if I commit crimes, even if I kill someone, Everyone in the world will forgive me...because I am beautiful. Don\'t you think so too?"
Hancock cutely looked at him while adjusting some of her bangs to the back of her ear.
"Hebihime-sama..."
"Ah...she\'s so beautiful." Everyone screamed and agreed in unison, even the soldiers behind him.
"You are indeed beautiful but not to the point that I would forgive your crimes." Blaize put the hard front but in reality, his heart thumped a little.
But, his willpower isn\'t some normal people can compare so he got over her charms very quickly.
On the other hand, Hancock was surprised. \'How can a man resist my charm? Was I not attractive to him?\'
At that moment, Elder Nyon, who was beside her once again persuaded Hancock. "Hebihime, accept the offer. This man isn\'t someone you can face right now!"
"Shut up," Hancock directly kicked Elder Nyon away and faced Blaize. \'Even if you hide them from my eyes, I will show your lustful heart to the world.\'
Thinking through, she shaped her hand in the form of a heart and shouted, "Mero Mero Merō", from her hand heart-shaped beam shot forward.
Blaize is positive her powers won\'t work on him but the people behind him will surely turn into statuses considering their perverted thoughts. So he doesn\'t plan on sit and by and watch.
Blaize\'s eyes widened, the air around him distorted before ripples went in all directions. The overbearing Conqueror\'s haki pushed Hancock\'s Love beam and crashed down on Amazon Lily.
His domineering Haki affected the surroundings as the ground the Kuja warriors stood on showed signs of cracking while the still sea of Calm Belt swayed back and forth.
Foam came out of most Kuja women\'s mouths; with their eyes blank, mouths wide open, they all hit the ground with audible thuds, unconscious.
The ones who are conscious were pushed back while they struggled to breathe and fought with all their might to remain standing. They all had a look of horror on their face. "Conqueror\'s Haki..."
Even Hancock and her two sisters who are formidable Haki users felt the Haki pressing upon her. Elder Nyon who reappeared had an astonishing expression on her face. "This is...what a powerful Haoshoku Haki."
"Boa Hancock, you stand no chance against me. I give you two choices: Sign the agreement or prepare to get captured." Blaize smiled at Hancock.
His statement and smile completely provoked Hanock who suddenly lept high in the air and dashed at Blaize before delivering a powerful flying kick.
"Perfume Femur!"
Blaize effortlessly blocked the attack by lifting his left arm slightly coating them with emission-style Haki. As the result, her full-power kick couldn\'t even touch his arm.
She was gritting her teeth in anger while her emotions were out of control. "How could a man like you who sides with the World Government use the Conqueror\'s haki?"
Flipping in mid-air, she landed on the handrail of the ship looking down on him.
"I joined Marines so that I can help some people and it\'s also convenient for me to achieve my goals. It doesn\'t mean I support the World Government or their deeds."
Hearing his words, Hancock snorted. At that moment, "Elder sis..." Marigold and Sandersonia came along with Hancock\'s snake weapon, Salome.
"Stop being stubborn. Agreeing to the World Government offer doesn\'t mean you work under them, you will only be aiding when the situation demands." Blaize persuaded with gentle words.
But it had an opposite reaction on Hancock. She felt Blaize is looking down upon her as a weak woman so she attacked again.
After exchanging ten moves, Blaize pushed Hancock back and spoke, "You can keep on attacking but the time\'s running out for your people. Look back!"
Only then Hancock noticed, the miniature sun in the sky is ten times bigger than she last saw. Not only that, the heat from that thing began to affect the Island.
The women were sweating more than usual while the high temperature showed signs of scorching the surface of the Island.
"What\'s your choice, are you going to agree or let your people die?" Blaize asked.
