Noir led Hancock to a side room off the main hall, a guest room used for receiving visitors. Outside, the elderly fish-man, Puff, maintained a stern facade while attending to the boisterous Kuja pirates.

As soon as Noir entered the room, he used his System's appraisal on Hancock. A list of talents appeared before him:

Name: Boa Hancock

[World-Renowned Beauty] · [Charm: Gold Quality]. Possesses one of the most beautiful faces in the world. With age, her beauty and figure will become even more captivating, reaching its peak at 25. Men's resistance to her beauty decreases by 50% to 100% depending on the circumstances.

[Pirate Empress]: [Red Quality]. As a woman, she possesses a sharp, perceptive, and resilient mind, with the bearing of a queen among snakes. Her physique combines serpentine flexibility and strength. Her aptitude for physical combat surpasses all other women in the world. She also possesses a deep understanding of Haki. She is destined to face great hardship, but will ultimately survive, awakening and enhancing her Conqueror's Haki after the ordeal.

[Demon Host] · [Mero Mero: Red Quality]. Having consumed the Mero Mero no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, she is imbued with a demonic power, able to charm and petrify her enemies.

[Sea's Rejection]: [Purple Quality]. While gaining power from the Devil Fruit, she is also cursed by it. This curse causes her to be rejected by the sea. Contact with seawater weakens her and prevents her from actively using her abilities.

As Noir had expected, Hancock's talents were all geared towards women. Even if his System's copy function was still active, he wouldn't be able to replicate anything useful.

However, judging by the talents displayed by the System, Hancock's strengths clearly revolved around her beauty.

The only talent purely focused on combat enhancement was "Pirate Empress."

This suggested that Hancock's fighting style capitalized on her natural gifts: Advanced Haki and exceptional physical skills, complemented by her unparalleled beauty and charm.

Even without resorting to the Underworld, Noir was confident he could defeat Hancock in a straight fight based on pure strength.

Following Noir into the guest room, Hancock found herself alone with him. Away from the watchful eyes of her crew, she relaxed visibly.

Noticing her change in demeanor, Noir teased her with a smile. "Being an Empress must be tough. You always seem so tired."

Hancock quickly regained her composure, resuming her haughty demeanor. She lifted her chin. "It's nothing. Just managing a bunch of useless fools."

Ouch.

She doesn't mince words.

This was more like the Hancock he'd expected. Earlier, she had been so captivated by his words that her usual imperial bearing had been absent.

Her appearance was that of a goddess surveying a wasteland, a disdainful glance seeming like a blessing. Even with her conceit, it was hard to feel any resentment towards her.

But Noir felt that this outward display of pride and coldness was a facade, a shield protecting a vulnerable heart.

Even as a renowned Empress, with status and territory, a woman could ultimately rely only on her own strength.
