"One Piece" Events:

—————————

"He saw... my back...!!" Hancock said while trying to suppress her trembling.

The faces of both Sandersonia and Marigold darkened after seeing the unfamiliar man and hearing what their elder sister said.

"Well then, you'll just have to die," Marigold said.

"Eh!? Why!? I just saw her back...!! I feel like I've seen that somewhere before..."

"We would rather die than let anyone see what is on our backs...!!!" said Hancock, trembling.

"That...!! Why!!?" "Who are you!? Why!?" Luffy was shocked after hearing that. This means that the two large women next to her have the same backmark. He became more curious about their backgrounds.

But Hancock didn't give him any time to ask. She quickly attacked: "Take what you saw... to your grave!! Mero Mero Mellow!!!"

"Eh? Noro Noro!? The Noro Noro beam!? Damn, I'm slowing down!!"

After seeing Hancock's attack, Luffy felt a déjà vu and quickly remembered Foxy's special ability, the Noro Noro no Mi.

"Slowing..."

Luffy felt that he wasn't slowing down as much as he thought, and then he looked at Hancock in confusion with a question mark above his head.

"Mero Mero Mellow!!!"

Hancock became puzzled as to why the boy wasn't turning to stone, but she quickly attacked again.

This time, multiple question marks appeared above all their heads.

"Why isn't he turning to stone...!!? He saw me in the bath... yet his heart still isn't moved!?" exclaimed Hancock.

•———•———•———•———•———•

"Why didn't he turn to stone, Dad? Did his heart really not move?"

Inside the art store, in Rob's personal section, both Rob and his daughters were enjoying reading manga.

Hancock was particularly excited about the new arc since, after all, her future counterpart was one of the main characters... the same goes for both Sonia and Marigold.

"Well... as you know, Luffy is not the type to be affected by a woman's charm," Rob replied with a smile.

Rob was keen on not letting his young children delve too deeply into this 'sensitive' topic and quickly thought of changing the conversation to the direction he wanted.

"I mean, it's not something for kids like you to think about. You, my little ones, are as pure as the Sky Island's clouds. Luffy has the heart of a little child, just like you,~" Rob said gently.

"Even though he's already a grown-up?" Little Hancock opened her small mouth in surprise.

"Yes, that's right, that's why he wasn't affected by your future counterpart's Love Beam."

"He even thinks that was Foxy Beam! What a fool, Hehehe!"

...

..

"They captured him already... this quickly?"

With concern, Little Hancock looked at Luffy, who was tied up with some snakes and sitting in the middle of the Colosseum surrounded by a large crowd of women, while Hancock sat on the judge's throne, flanked by her sisters.

"Continue reading in silence; the upcoming events will surprise you," Rob replied with a warm smile.

...

Fish-Man Island:

"Tiger-san... the new volume of One Piece has been released."

Both Hatchi and Arlong hurried to where Tiger was in Fish-Man District, which had recently started to become cleaner.

"I already know," Tiger said as he exited his room and glanced at the energetic boys outside.

("It seems they're beginning to feel the positive change in the kingdom, being accepted back into society after being abandoned... truly wonderful,") Tiger thought with a gentle smile on his fearsome face.

"This is your volume, Tiger-san!" Arlong pulled out the new One Piece volume, marked with the name of the new arc 'Amazon Lily Arc' and a stunning cover featuring some of the warriors from the Island of Women and Luffy alone.

"Thank you; this is your reward." Tiger handed a 5000 Beri one paper to Arlong.

Since one volume cost only 1000 Beri, the remaining 4000 Beri was a significant tip for both Arlong and Hatchi.

Fisher Tiger opened the new volume and began reading the new events, particularly curious about the fate of the Straw Hats after their separation due to Bartholomew Kuma.

...

In the art store 'Mermaid Bay,' many Fishmen and humans gathered here to enjoy the Manga Day.

As usual, Tom and his disciples were still residing in the Ryuju Kingdom, making life easier with the "Sky Port" referred to as the "Seabed Port," thanks to Tom and his disciples being the main contributors to the Sea Train railway project.

They could easily commute to their workplaces in a flash.

King Neptune and his aides were also in the art store, this time accompanied by Jinbe, who had been promoted to the Royal Guard due to his strength and great talent in Fish-Man Karate.

Suzan and her daughter Shyarly were busy with customer service, alongside Kokoro and the other sea mermaids carefully chosen by Rob to work in his store.

At this moment, most readers were focused on the ongoing events... Luffy had been captured and was brought for execution in a highly theatrical manner!

•———•———•———•———•———•

"Now I'm asking you, 'Man'...!!" Sitting with one leg crossed over the other and an air of royalty, Hancock asked nonchalantly, "Why and how did you come to this island...!!?"

"I'm telling you, I don't know either. Just a little while ago, I was flying through the sky... And when I came to, I was here!!" Luffy stated the truth once again.

"You liar!! I won't be fooled by such a ridiculous story...!! You must have some motive!" Of course, Hancock didn't believe him.

"If it's something I want, then I need a boat!! I'd really like to get a ride out of here...!! There's someplace that I need to get to, fast!!"

Luffy was still unaware of the situation he was in. "If you're the most important person here, then I'm begging you!! I need to go out to the sea!!"

Upon hearing that, the women from the audience shouted in anger, "…!! Did you hear how he spoke to Lady Hebihime!?" "What a rude, vulgar way of speaking…!!! He's the worst…!!"

Hancock gestured for the crowd to quiet down, then said, "... Don't think you'll be leaving here alive! You will not escape your death…!!!"

"Please wait!! Lady Hebihime!!" Suddenly, a blonde girl from the audience shouted. It was Margaret.

•———•———•———•———•———•

Amazon Lily, inside the art store:

"Your resemblance is quite courageous, Marlin~" At that moment, Gloriosa pointed to Marlin, who bore a strong resemblance to Margaret, before saying this.

"She's really courageous..."

Marlin's eyelashes quivered after hearing her mistress's comment. She had already noticed the similarity between herself and the girl in the manga named Margaret. However, she still believed it was just a coincidence and hadn't dared to connect herself to her in any way.

"It seems Hancock is really angry... Margaret's confession will likely anger her even more..."

"As expected... Sigh..."

Seeing Margaret and her companions's fate turning into stone, Olvia sighed with regret.

"This is unreasonable..." said Otohime.

"No, this is how the Empress of Amazon Lily should be," Shakky said, then she added, her voice almost inaudible, "An Empress who is not ill."
