Mihawk's appearance shocked the audience, and in the video, Zoro was equally astonished by his arrival.
〖Sensing the familiar attack, Zoro whipped his head around to look.
A small boat was slowly approaching them, emanating an eerie green glow.
Dracule Mihawk was sitting on that very boat.
Just then, a cheerful laugh rang out. Accompanied by this laughter, several white ghosts suddenly passed through the bodies of Sentomaru and his men.
Perona had made her entrance.
Struck by Perona's attack, Sentomaru and the others all fell to the ground in a state of utter despair.〗
[Pirate 1: It's really Hawk-Eyes Mihawk! I didn't expect him to participate in this Pirate Expo too!]
[Pirate 2: Who is that cute girl? Her Devil Fruit power seems really interesting!]
[Pirate 3: That's the Ghost-Ghost Fruit (Horo Horo no Mi). It can make people become negative. It's practically an unsolvable ability.]
[Pirate 4: That ability is truly terrifying. If you faced her, you'd probably lose before the fight even began.]
[Pirate 5: But she came with Hawk-Eyes! Is she his subordinate? But I thought Mihawk preferred to be alone. Why would he suddenly take a beautiful girl as a subordinate?]
[Gecko Moria: Perona is my subordinate, not Hawk-Eyes'! But Perona, why are you still with Hawk-Eyes? Why haven't you come to find me?]
[Perona: Lord Moria, I don't want to either! I can't leave this place right now. I have no idea what to do!]
[Pirate 6: Speaking of which, that's three Warlords assembled now, right? Buggy the Clown, Tyrant Kuma, and Hawk-Eyes Mihawk. Do you think she will come?]
[Pirate 7: You mean her? To be honest, I'm really looking forward to it. I'd love to see her beautiful face again.]
[Pirate 8: AAAAAH! Look! On that ship! Everyone on that ship has been turned to stone!]
[Pirate 9: What? Really?]
[Pirate 10: No mistake about it. The only one with that ability can be her!]
[Pirate 11: That's right! It's her! The Most Beautiful Woman in the World, Empress Boa Hancock!]
On the celestial screen, many admirers went wild upon discovering traces of the Empress's signature ability.
In the video, the Empress they were eagerly awaiting finally made her appearance.
〖"Just who dares to park a pirate ship in my path?"
The Empress's haughty voice rang out. As her words fell, an extremely large pirate ship came into view.
Flying from the mast was a flag bearing a nine-headed snake skull the flag of the Kuja Pirates, the Empress's crew.
Then, accompanied by the sound of high heels clicking on the deck, the Most Beautiful Woman in the World, the devastatingly gorgeous Empress Boa Hancock, appeared on screen.
"No matter what I do, the world will forgive me... because I'm just too beautiful."〗
[AAAAAAAH!]
[OOOOH OOH OOH!]
[Empress! Empress! Empress!]
[Pirate 1: She's finally appeared again! My Empress! The days without you have felt like years!]
[Pirate 2: Even though she's appeared several times before, I'm stunned by her beauty every single time!]
[Pirate 3: Truly worthy of being the Most Beautiful Woman in the World. Such beauty is rare, capable toppling nations!]
[Pirate 4: Faced with such beauty, I feel like I'm going to turn to stone even without her using her ability!]
The Empress's reappearance once again drove many people across the world into a frenzy.
Under the spell of her peerless beauty, almost anyone would be captivated.
Just as most were immersed in the Empress's beauty, the system suddenly posed another question.
["Ding! Question: What is the reason Pirate Empress Boa Hancock attended the festival?"]
["This is an open-ended question. Please, the respondents who gain the chance to answer, state the answer in your heart."]
["The quick question round begins now."]
After the system's question, many began frantically clicking the option before them, hoping to get a chance to answer.
In most people's view, the reason the Empress participated in the Pirate Expo was simple: she must also have come for the legendary treasure of the Pirate King.
Therefore, they didn't hesitate, believing their answer was definitely correct and not worrying about being wrong, so they were particularly enthusiastic about buzzing in.
Subsequently, the system began announcing the list of those who successfully answered quickly.
["Ding! The answering session has ended. This round's respondents are: Marshall D. Teach, Donquixote Doflamingo, Trafalgar Law, Charlotte Perospero."]
[Cavendish of the White Horse: Damn it! I didn't get it again! Such a good opportunity, and it went to someone else!]
[Jewelry Bonney: Don't worry. Maybe they'll get it wrong.]
[Charlotte Perospero: Perorin~ Such a simple question, it's impossible to get wrong. What a pity I only got fourth place. It seems the reward is beyond my reach, perorin~]
[Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach: ZEHAHAHA! As expected, I'm the chosen one! My answer is: She came to the festival for the Pirate King's secret treasure!]
["Ding! Marshall D. Teach answered incorrectly. Punishment: For the next year, no matter who he looks at, he will see them as Big Mom in a swimsuit."]
[Kaido of the Beasts: There's actually a punishment like that? Blackbeard brat, you're in for a treat next year! You get to see Linlin in a swimsuit! Urororororo!]
[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: To use me as a punishment? Really now... This is clearly a reward! You've hit the jackpot, kid~]
[Pirate 1: Strange. The Pirate Empress didn't come for the Eternal Pose?]
[Pirate 2: I just remembered! We all overlooked something! The matter about the Pirate King's treasure was only announced after the festival began. The Pirate Empress couldn't have known about it beforehand, so why would she come for it?]
[Pirate 3: True. Then what was her purpose for coming?]
The crowd was puzzled, and the system began urging the next respondent to answer.
["Ding. Next respondent, Donquixote Doflamingo, please answer the question."]
[Donquixote Doflamingo: Fufufufu. My answer is: She was summoned by the Marines and came to this place as a Warlord to complete a mission for the Navy.]
["Ding! Donquixote Doflamingo answered incorrectly. Punishment: For the next year, in his dreams, he will be forced to relive the event he least wants to remember."]
[Pirate 1: Wrong again? A woman's heart is truly difficult to guess.]
[Pirate 2: But Doflamingo's punishment seems too light. It doesn't feel on the same level as the previous one.]
[Pirate 3: That might not necessarily be true.]
[Pirate 4: Let's put the punishments aside for now. Right now, I just want to know if anyone can get this question right.]
[Pirate 5: The next one is Trafalgar Law, right? I think he might be in trouble too.]
