Marigold, aka, Mari, and Sandersonia were facing Josh now in their snake form.

While sitting on her throne, Hancock felt that today was the third-worst day in her life.

Today, a man made her so frustrated. Not only he mocked her and didn't give her any attention, but he gave attention and a confession to Sonia.

She felt her pride was struck. While resisting the urge to pay back and say that his D isn't enough for her 4.5 meters tall little sis, Hancock massaged her temple.

For real, what's wrong with that guy. Her sister can kill him by sitting on him and he just flirts with her, while ignoring someone as sexy and beautiful as Hancock, who is chosen as a perfect woman by both genders.

Hancock was so frustrated with the man that she wanted not to kill him, but to keep him and see if he can resist her charm any longer.

Anyway, seeing him now getting his ass kicked would give Hancock a good feeling.

Supporting her chin with her hand, elbow on the chair, Hancock crossed her long legs, waiting for an enjoyable show.

Josh was done from shadow boxing it seems. He was now staring at the giant snake sisters, his neck hurt from looking up.

Marigold, the golden snake, hissed at him with her snake tongue and started rolling around him. Smirking, Sonia followed her sister and circled around Josh.

"You know, we know how to deal with a weakling like you," Marigold said, holding her spear.

Josh was only staring forward, not even looking at the snake sisters.

Marigold stared at her sister as if waiting for her to continue her line.

"Oh." Sonia snapped looking down at Josh and said. "You must think yourself tough for beating a little kitten."

"Who knows." Josh shrugged his shoulders, looked up, and smirked. "My snake seemed to get tough, replaceing a nice mate."

*Crick*

The metallic chair's spot under Hancock's elbow started bending down as she was keeping watch.

"Enough!"

Before Sonia could think of a reply, Marigold, the other sister, lifted her spear and slammed down. Squatting down, Josh turned into an afterimage after using Shave. When he appeared in the air, behind Marigold, Josh clenched his fist.

Unfortunately for him, it seems that his opponent was expecting his attack, and it turned quickly, parrying his punch with her palm, which was almost as big as him.

"Got ya, rat!" Marigold hissed, opened her mouth, and spat a purple liquid. It almost touched Josh, who dodge at the last moment by using Shave and Moonwalk at the same time.

"Six Powers, you seem to know them," Marigold said.

"Maybe he is a marine or a part of World Government."

Sonia, saying that, flinched as she held her spear tightly and stabbed toward Josh.

Josh was frowning inside. Had this been a normal-sized spear, he would be able to use Kung Fu to parry it. Nevertheless, depending on his superior senses, Josh jumped slightly.

Sonia, who was lifting her spear up, smirked and looked at the tip of the spear. Josh was sitting, legs crossed, hands on the knee.

"World Government. Hell no… I hate them." Josh shook his head, disgusted. "I'm self-taught."

Crossing his arms while sitting, Josh sent two long projectiles of Storm Arms. The spear suddenly became pitch black, and when the compressed blades touched it, they reflected it on it, heading toward Sonia before reflecting on her skin. The arena around her had two slits appearing. The amazons, who were watching, were staring forward with awe.

"Nice self-taught." She said as she was about to lift the spear and slam it down. Marigold, whoever, appeared behind him, opening her mouth widely. Her mouth was full of poison, she was about to eat Josh in one poisonous bite.

Although Josh doesn't have Haki, he could sense that attack behind him. He let himself fall from the spear, and when Marigold's tail headed toward him to hit him from a near distance, Josh turned and crossed his arms. When the tail's tip, which was full of Haki, and Josh's arms met, Josh was sent to the sky, flying. The impact produced a strong sound that everyone around could hear.

"Hey, that wasn't so nice," Sonia said, looking up. "I swear, I heard his bones crack."

"Why do you care, don't you have a better job than flirting with a man."

"Shut up! We were tasked not to kill him. Besides, I think you are jealous because no one would ever look at you."

"What did you say."

Sonia and Marigold stared at each other furiously, as if provoked.

Josh, whose arms cracks were healed in instant, had a small smirk as he was flying.

"You heard it." Sonia pointed with her hand to Marigold.

As if offended, Marigold span her spear many times in the air. Josh, who was falling there, would get cut by that spear. It seemed that Marigold is doing that on purpose.

"So, you are acting like a bitch because you got some attention," Marigold said, angry at her sister, and wanting to kill Josh in front of her.

Luckily, Josh, who fell, extended his hands down. The moment the spinning spear was about to cut him, he held it and moved along it, landing on his feet.

It seems Marigold's prediction got weaker because she is angry.

"Excuse me!" Sonia, if had feet now, would take steps back. "1 for me, zero for you. At least I got some attention in big sis's attention. Geez. You were only attractive as 12 years old because you looked like mature 20 years old then!"

"Hoho. I had enough guys drolling for me when I was slim. More than Hancock ever did. " Marigold pointed to Sonia, angry. "Do you remember? Just because I needed some growth spurt, I ate without consideration. If I put I diet, our big sis wouldn't have the light spot."

'Holy shit. This is better than watching wrestling.' Josh lied down and looked up.

Sonia and Marigold seemed to be angry. It seems that having their big sis having all the attention of the men had affected them as well. Not wanting to hurt their feeling, Josh kept his mouth shut and didn't tell Sonia that he is flirting with her because of her sister. But still, she is a hot woman. No deny of it. Even with a big head, she still has her charms and she is beautiful, and her body was perfect.

"Damn you, you want me to beat your ass, little sis."

"Go ahead."

"Hsss…"

Sonia and Marigold left their spears and extended hands at each other. They started pulling their hair. Although the two women were fearsome warriors, they were only fighting like sisters.

Turning his head away from them, Josh stared at Hancock, who half-closed her eyes at him, like a hawk looking for meat. Josh, then, mercilessly, turned his head and looked at the two sisters.

'Damn, keeping my bluffing face is hard. But looking away from her is hard as well.' Josh then stood up. He decided to take advantage of the moment the Boa snake sisters lost their temper, and thus, some of the Observation Haki.

Hancock stood up. She seemed to be angry. Although Josh had frustrated her by flirting with her sis, the fact that her sisters are fighting over that man frustrated her more. It made her want to fight them as well, if not for the fact that this is execution.

"Shut the hell up, he is sneaking on you!" Hancock yelled as she pointed to her sisters. "Kick him, and later take any other man."

Sonia and Marigold, who were wrestling and holding each other's hair, snapped and stared at each other's eyes.

Josh appeared above them. When they lifted their close heads, they saw that Josh was standing up on his hands, each hand on one of their heads.

"Hmm…"

Exhaling slowly, Josh's hands were wrapped with red energy. Gaining a new attribute, that redness seemed to be close to purple.

Josh was focusing. He had learnt this technique while 'supposedly torturing' Kalifa. This was one of the incubus techniques, lust attribute. It let one dream about one of his most fantasies, and make them experience a sudden boost in their sex drive.

The snake sisters opened their eyes widely when Josh let their heads and was falling to the ground.

Marigold was seeing an image of herself. The time seemed to be wrapped because the scene she was seeing was happening too fast, yet to her, it felt so slow. Josh, in her vision, grew bigger all of the sudden and started doing a naughty thing to her, playing with her booty. Sonia, on the other hand, imagined herself go back to her human form. In her vision, Josh was crawling on her body while kissing different parts of her body. It felt so real. When he reached her boobs, she begged him to stop while being so horny. He, however, didn't listen and started sucking on her nipples.

"AAA!!!"

"Ohhh…"

The amazons heard a strong moan. Marigold fell on her hands and started panting, a blush running on her cheeks. Although she is fighting, she felt that she could barely stand up on her feet. Sonia, on the other hand, seemed to have a mental orgasm, as her arms seemed to be weak as well.

The amazons on the stadium looked strangely. Those who has daughters had blush on their cheeks. Still, everyone was wondering what happened.

"What is this witchery."

"Could it be something that happens when a man touches you?"

"No! It takes time!"

"Wake up, boa sister!"

While the horny sisters were trying to regain their temper, Josh started getting taller. His legs and arms morphed into demons. He didn't turn completely into a demon, but he transformed enough to strengthen his techniques.

'Time for my plan's climax.'

The red demonic energy started gaining a new attribute. Josh extended his hands in two different directions when he jumped high. Controlling wrath, which meant heat, Josh shot two fireballs from his hands, gently flying down.

They blew up on the girls back, burning their cloth there.

The fire was gentle that it didn't burn their skin.

However, when they growled in pain, Hancock opened her eyes widely upon realising which spot that fire hit.

She clearly saw how Josh, who was the nearest, opened his eyes widely when he saw the symbol on her sisters' backs.

Josh vanished from his spot, appearing above Sonia's back, covering it.

The amazons opened their eyes widely. Some put their hands on their faces and they exclaimed in panic.

"Oh my god, it's the curse."

"Anyone who looks will die."

Standing up while feeling panic, Hancock opened her eyes widely. Marigold is defenceless and the secret of the sisters would be exposed. Hancock had no choice. When she took a step forward, a strong wave was unleashed from her body. The wave couldn't be seen. However, the ground quaked, some cracks appearing on it. The amazons, most of them, who were watching from the seats, started losing consciousness.

While everyone was in a daze, Hancock vanished from her spot and sat on Marigold's back. Taking a look at the ones who didn't lose consciousness, Hancock said.

"Leave quickly, or you may turn into a stone."

Hancock had made a bullshit story that anyone who looks at their backs would turn into a stone. Most of the amazons believed so since Hancock had used the Devil Fruit's powers as covers.

The rest of the amazons turned and started running. Hancock then turned her head to Josh, who was loosely lying on Sonia's back. She was wondering why is he lying on her back. But she couldn't complain, since that action is protecting her and her sisters.

Before Hancock could ask, Josh, who was staring at the sky, said.

"No need to thank me." He said calmly. "I heard the rest of the amazons. They said it's a curse. I believe you are hiding it from them."

Hancock half-closed her eyes on Josh. "What do you mean. Why are you helping us."

"Personal reasons," Josh said.

Hancock looked at him, while he was staring at the sky.

She didn't know what this mysterious, strange man is thinking of.

"What personal reason."

"Shared history maybe," Josh replied as he yawned. "Tell me your story, I'll tell you mine."

Josh's words seemed to add more confusion to Hancock's mind. But for now, she had no right to complain.

Hancock only nodded. "Later."

Sonia, as she was about to move, was stopped all of the sudden as Hancock pointed to her.

"Sonia, don't move. This man is protecting our secrets."

Sonia and Marigold, who just awakened from their lust dreams, turned and stared at each other, blush taking over their face. They just nodded and stayed in their place, not daring to move at all.

Marigold, whom Hancock was sitting on her back, looked toward Josh, who just waved at her.

"Small world, isn't it," Josh said to Marigold.

"Damn you, you didn't have to do that." Marigold lowered her head, turning into her human form. The fat woman surely had her skin red. The same happened for Sonia, whose skin turned pink. She only turned to Josh and half-closed her eyes. "What in the hell did you do."

"Did you like it?" Josh patted her back. "I was gentle, as I promised."

"With that fire, gentle my ass. Just get over this quickly." Turning with a blush on her cheeks, she crossed her arms on the ground and rested her head there.

"What's this strange smell." Hancock sniffed all of the sudden.

'Adult woman's scent… doesn't she know it.'Josh shrugged his shoulders.. "I don't know."
