Akira was happy to be seeing Hancock, whom he hadn't seen in a long time. However, he hadn't expected that he would be greeted by a series of cannonballs that were rapidly shooting towards him.
"Damn, do you have to use this kind of welcome?"
However, he was even more certain that there probably wouldn't be anyone besides Hancock who would fire cannons directly without saying hello like this.
A ray of light flashed. All of the cannonballs that were rapidly shooting over instantly split in half, and then fell into the seawater.
Afterwards, Akira suddenly revealed a strange smile. He only saw him softly shout, "All Things in the Universe, Turn to Ashes! Ryūjin Jakka!"
At the moment when Akira drew his sword, a huge tornado-shaped flame wall formed. The tornado of flames enveloped the pirate ship of the pirate group that had been defeated by the Amazon Lily Pirates. He only saw that the pirate ship was burned to ashes at an extremely fast speed. In just a few dozen seconds from beginning to end, that entire ship was burned down.
"Hiss!"
The female warriors on the Amazon Lily Pirates' ship all gasped. They had seen flames appear the moment the person on the small boat had drawn his sword before. However, the flames had rushed towards the other pirate ship. They had thought that the person on the small boat had missed. However, thinking about it again, they were a bit of a distance away from that pirate ship. It was impossible for it to miss so far, right?
What shocked them even more was that the large pirate ship had actually been burned to ashes so quickly. What kind of flames were these? Even though they were some distance away, they could clearly feel that scorching temperature.
"Han, Empress Hancock, the other party seems to be very powerful."
Hancock naturally wouldn't completely ignore this scene. Her arrogant expression also instantly became serious. Whether it was splitting the cannonballs in half, or forming a tornado of flames to burn down the pirate ship, these weren't things that ordinary people could do.
Although Hancock was arrogant, it didn't mean that she wasn't smart. If she wasn't smart, she wouldn't have been chosen as the empress of Amazon Lily of this generation. So she said, "Aim there, but don't attack. Wait for the other party to come over."
Seeing how powerful his attack was, Akira also smiled slightly. He had to say that Ryūjin Jakka's attack power was really strong. It had such a strong power with just Shikai. Even Zangetsu was far inferior when it came to range attacks. Zangetsu and Tensa Zangetsu were indeed very strong. However, Akira wasn't Ichigo Kurosaki after all. He didn't have Hollowfication. So it was difficult to unleash all of Zangetsu's power. However, it was different for Ryūjin Jakka. Its practicality and power were both top-notch.
After this attack, seeing that the Amazon Lily Pirates didn't attack again, Akira smiled slightly, and controlled the small boat to quickly approach the Amazon Lily Pirates' large ship. When he arrived nearby, he heard the other party's warning.
"Friend on the other side, we're the Amazon Lily Pirates. You've approached our restricted area. Please state your intentions. Otherwise, we'll treat you as an enemy, and attack."
A rough female voice spread across the sea surface. Akira smiled slightly after hearing it, and said, "Everyone of the Amazon Lily Pirates, I also have some relationship with your Amazon Lily. I wonder who your current captain is?"
Hearing Akira's words, the female warriors of Amazon Lily immediately asked Hancock, "Empress Hancock, it's a man. He said that he has some relationship with our Amazon Lily, and also asked who the captain is. Should we answer?"
Hancock snorted coldly, and said, "When has our Amazon Lily ever had a relationship with a man? I don't know where this guy came from. He's actually trying to deceive us. Isn't he saying that he has a relationship with Amazon Lily? Ask him what his name is. If I haven't heard of it, then kill him immediately."
"Yes."
The female pirates of the Amazon Lily Pirates all nodded. Then, one of them shouted loudly, "Kid, you say that you have a relationship with our Amazon Lily. Words are useless. Report your name."
Akira answered, "My name is Newgate D. Akira Stone. Is the leader of your Amazon Lily now Boa Hancock? I know her. There's also an old woman named Gloriosa on your Amazon Lily. I also know her."
Hearing that Akira actually said that he knew Hancock and Gloriosa, the female pirates of Amazon Lily all revealed looks of surprise. Their gazes involuntarily turned towards Hancock.
Hancock also revealed an incredulous expression at this time. She asked her two younger sisters beside her with some daze, "Sandersonia, Marigold, did you hear clearly? Is it Brother Akira?"
Hancock's two younger sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold, didn't have much better expressions than Hancock. They both nodded, and answered, "Sister, you didn't hear wrong. It's him. It's Lord Akira."
After receiving her two younger sisters' affirmative answer, the confused expression on Hancock's face instantly disappeared. What replaced it was incomparable joy and happiness. A smile of joy actually appeared on her arrogant and cold face.
The female warriors beside her all looked at the face-changing Hancock in surprise. They had never seen Hancock like this before. It was really too unbelievable.
Chapter 0199 Joyful Reunion
Akira, who was on the small boat, heard Hancock's shout, and his face also lit up with joy. Although Hancock's voice had changed a lot compared to two years ago, he knew that it must be Hancock without a doubt, because only Hancock would call him Brother Akira.
"Is it really Hancock? That's really great! Hancock, move aside a bit. I'm coming up."
Hancock's face was full of joy. Seeing the female pirates of Amazon Lily who were gathered together, she immediately snorted, "All of you move aside. Quickly move aside. Brother Akira is coming up. Don't block him."
It was fortunate that Hancock said these words. The deck at the bow of the ship was so big. Even if ten more Akiras came, there wouldn't be a problem. However, she wanted everyone else to move aside. This attitude was really incomparably domineering.
After Akira finished speaking, he controlled the small boat to come to the bottom of the Amazon Lily Pirates' ship. Then, he stomped his feet hard, and his entire person jumped up high, landing next to Hancock in one go.
Looking at the beautiful girl, who was only a head shorter than him, Akira asked in surprise, "Hancock?"
When Akira looked at Hancock, Hancock was also staring at Akira. Besides growing taller, Akira hadn't changed anything else compared to two years ago. So Hancock recognized him at a glance.
Hancock's eyes were full of joy and excitement. She said excitedly, "It's me, Brother Akira. I'm Hancock."
Akira smiled slightly, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Hancock's head. Then, he compared it to himself, and said, "When I saw you last time, you hadn't even reached my chin. I didn't expect that you would have grown so tall after not seeing you for two years. Moreover, you've also become more beautiful, and more confident. I almost didn't recognize you."
Hearing Akira's praise, Hancock was like she had eaten honey. Her face was full of joy. She said in a low voice, "Brother Akira has also become more and more handsome. He's still exactly the same as the Brother Akira in my memory. That's great."
When Hancock and Akira were talking, the female pirates of Amazon Lily, besides Hancock's two younger sisters, all revealed looks of disbelief and incredulity. They had never seen this side of Hancock before. Not to mention seeing it, they didn't even dare to imagine it.
"Is this still Empress Hancock?" This question popped up in everyone's hearts.
Akira asked Hancock with confusion, "By the way, Hancock, why are you here?"
Hancock answered, "Brother Akira, this is the first time I'm leading the pirate group on an expedition. We just came out of Amazon Lily not long ago. We've been conquering some pirates along the way."
Akira said, "Oh, so this is the first time you're leading the pirate group. It seems that our Hancock has also become a big figure. Have you already become the leader of Amazon Lily?"
Hancock immediately revealed a proud expression like a little girl. She said with a smug smile, "Yes, Brother Akira. I've been listening to your words all along these past two years, and have been working hard to train. Now Hancock is already the empress of Amazon Lily. Hancock has the final say on everything on Amazon Lily."
After proudly saying her situation, Hancock then said to Akira with some displeasure, pouting her lips, "Brother Akira, you had said that you would go to Amazon Lily to see Hancock when we separated back then. However, Hancock waited for you for two years, but didn't see you come. Have you already forgotten Hancock?"
