The next day, Grandma Ze and Kona took Mina and Yuyuko to the mouth of the river below the core to see off the Nine Snakes Pirates who were sailing.
The Nine Snakes pirate ship, carried on the backs of two giant poisonous sea snakes, was already waiting quietly at the port.
Accompanied by bursts of cheers, Amazon Lily's warriors headed by Viviya slowly walked towards the pirate ship.
Following closely behind was Viviya’s captain of bodyguard Pattaya.
Further on, Yuyuko saw the three Hancock sisters.
The three of them were walking at the end of the queue, their serious expressions incompatible with the crowd of farewells.
The appearance of the three people now is not much different from the image of the three people in the anime in Yuyuko's mind.
One year not only restored the complexion of the three of them, but also because their nutrition kept up, the strength of the three of them grew extremely rapidly. Although the three of them are now only standing at the end of the team, Yuyuko knew that the three of them Now even Viviya, as the emperor, cannot guarantee victory.
It's just that Yuyuko felt that Hancock and the others seemed to have become silent recently. It's been a long time since I last saw the cute Hancock I met at the rip-off bar.
As if noticing Yuyuko's gaze, Hancock's serious face finally showed a smile.
Although it has lost some cuteness, it has also gained some sexiness...
At this time, the team's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"Gloriousa, what are you doing here?"
Viviya, who was more than three meters tall, stood in front of the short mother-in-law and asked sternly. The huge height difference made mother-in-law Ye completely shrouded in Viviya's shadow.
However, the mother-in-law did not waver at all. She grabbed the sea snake in her hand with one hand and put her hand behind her back and looked straight at Viviya. "Vivia, can you really continue to go to sea in your current condition?"
"you……"
Before Viviya could say anything, her mother-in-law interrupted her, "I am the emperor of the previous generation, and you who have become the emperor should have understood your current situation. I ask you again, is your current situation really good? Can I continue to go to sea?"
"..." Viviya was silent for a moment, and then kicked away the mother-in-law who was blocking the road. "Don't forget your identity, Guluoliosa. You are not the emperor now. You once abandoned the country and the people. You have no right to talk to me here."
After saying that, she ignored her and turned around, continuing to walk slowly towards the Nine Snakes pirate ship.
"Hope you come back safe."
Viviya did not stop but said lightly, "Isn't this a matter of course? I am the emperor of Nine Snake Island."
The Nine Snakes Pirates sailed as scheduled without receiving the slightest influence from Grandma Ze.
After sending away the pirate ship of the Nine Snakes Pirates, life returned to its normal rhythm.
Under the guidance of Granny Ze and Kona, Yuyuko and Mina Brow would go to the arena to compete in gladiatorial matches during the day. After the gladiatorial matches, they would go to the hot spring baths and then return to the west coast to accept the fighting between Granny Ze and Kona. train.
Although both Zebo and Kona are far from Rayleigh's strength, Kona has become a warrior of Amazon Lily and Hancock, who has now gone overseas in terms of strength, needs to be taken seriously. Although Grandma Ye looks short and ugly, she was once the emperor of Amazon Lily. At the same time, she was able to live wandering outside the island for so many years and witnessed major events in history again and again. Even with her age, her strength would not be exceeded. Not so bad.
Even Kona's Armed Color Haki was developed under her guidance.
Under the joint training of the two, Yuyuko and Mina's strength grew little by little.
Two months later, Naval Grand Line Headquarters, Marineford.
"Marshal Warring States, the investigation on the strange ship that appeared last time has come out, and the murderer has been confirmed to be the Nine Snakes Pirates who are currently plundering the Grand Line."
"The Nine Snakes Pirates?" Sengoku showed a hint of doubt.
I have some impressions of the Kuja Pirates Sengoku.
Amazon Lily, which was founded as a pirate country, is not something that needs to be particularly concerned about. The reason why Sengoku really cares about Amazon Lily is because Amazon Lily has the only means to easily sail in the windless zone.
The navy has long been able to build ships that can sail without the help of wind, but even ships that can sail without the help of wind cannot easily go to the windless zone. Because the windless zone is the nest of the sea kings, ships sailing in the windless zone will without exception be attacked by the sea kings in the deep sea.
The super-large Sea Kings there are not easy to defeat even by admiral-level people.
At this time, if the navy wants to enter the four seas directly from the Grand Route, the only way is to have admiral-level combat capabilities follow the ships.
This is one of the reasons why the Navy has given up on the vast sea lanes blocked by the great sea routes in recent years.
The Great Line is too troublesome to travel all over the world. Unless there is a major accident in the four seas, the navy will generally tell the navy stationed in the four seas to handle it themselves.
Amazon Lily, who has the ability to sail in the windless zone, also has the ability to easily go to Impeldo, the world's largest prison, one of the three important places of the navy.
And the Amazon Lily is actually located directly south of Impeldo.
Coupled with the strength level of Amazon Lily's domineering warriors per capita, it can be said that Amazon Lily is the most capable of defeating Impeldor in the entire front section of the Grand Line.
Fortunately, the Amazon Lily has only been plundering merchant ships and pirate ships at sea for many years. Even if it encounters the navy, it will generally not take the initiative to attack. Impeldo has not been attacked by the Amazon Lily for so many years. The World Government and The navy turned a blind eye to Amazon Lily.
After all, Amazon Lily has always had only one ship plundering at sea, and there has been no increase in the number for so many years. There are so many things in the navy, there is no need to provoke a bomb in the windless zone.
However, a naval ship suddenly lost contact when returning to its headquarters a month ago. The navy that arrived later was surprised to find that all the navy on board had turned into stone. Even Commodore Dorgon, who was leading the ship, was not spared. All the supplies on the ship were looted, and it was almost certain that it was pirates.
Subsequently, the navy also discovered merchant ships and pirate ships in the same situation in the surrounding waters.
This strange situation naturally attracted great attention from the headquarters, so the navy directly began to search for clues to investigate the pirates who committed the crime.
Sengoku narrowed his eyes and frowned, "Are you sure it's the Nine Snakes Pirates?"
The Navy stood up straight, "This information has been confirmed by multiple lieutenant generals who investigated. Among them, Lieutenant General Kaba's right arm was petrified and shattered in the battle, and he is now applying to retire and join Teacher Zefa's teaching team."
"At the same time, the staff department has deduced from the information investigated by the lieutenant generals that the devil fruit that caused this situation should be the superhuman sweet fruit. And the owner of this ability is Boya Han, who has just become the Amazon Lily Emperor. Cook.”
At this moment, Sengoku's phone rang, "Buru Buru ~ Buru Bulu~"
When he picked up the phone again, Sengoku's expression became serious.
After a conversation, Warring States put down the phone bug, but his brows were already knitted together.
The call was from Wulaoxing, and the content of the call was to try to appease Amazon Lily. The world government was already experimenting with ship technology that can sail in the windless zone. The specific experiment may take one to two years. He also said that Sengoku could try to make Amazon Lily a Shichibukai.
Anyway, the first goal is not to rush Amazon Lily until the navy has completely implemented the windless zone navigation technology.
If Amazon Lily is indeed capable of breaking through Impel Down City when the navy's defenses are negligent with the combined efforts of the whole country, and the criminals imprisoned in Impel Down City, especially the lowest level criminals, none of them will be released by the World Government.
"Shichibukai... It's the Shichibukai again. The mighty navy actually needs to recruit pirates to show off." Sengoku whispered through gritted teeth.
After a moment, Warring States calmed down, and then picked up the phone again. "Kizaru, immediately take the exclusive sea current to the windless zone to get to Amazon Lily. Mission? Go and test Amazon Lily's attitude for me. If their attitude is okay, then invite them to join Seven Wu Hai. This is what Wulaoxing means!"
Kizaru, who had just returned from Shampoo Land, pursed his lips speechlessly, "Can't you just let Kuzan go? I just came back from a mission."
"Kuzan?" Warring States hesitated. If it was Kuzan, it would indeed be more convenient to go to the Windless Zone. "Where is he now?"
Hearing this, Kizaru chuckled, "He, I heard the day before yesterday that he captured a group of pirates and sent them to Judiciary Island. They should be near there now."
"Well, you can notify Kuzan later. If he doesn't agree, then you can go."
After hanging up the phone, Kizaru smiled slightly, "Kuzan likes this kind of vacation job the most."
At this time, Kuzan, who was still sunbathing in the rest area on Judiciary Island with a blindfold hanging on his face, suddenly sneezed and said, "I always feel like someone is talking about me~"
"Bulu Bulu~Buru Bulu~"
"No way~" Ku sighed and answered the phone.
Three months later, the Nine Snakes Pirates, loaded with a whole shipload of various supplies, successfully returned to Hong Kong amidst great expectations.
However, a new news soon overshadowed the joy of the Nine Snakes Pirates' successful return to Hong Kong, because during this expedition to the sea, the current emperor of Amazon Lily, Boya Viviya, died of illness.
"Then who led the harvest of this expedition?" Maya Brett, the warrior captain of the Protector of the Nation, looked at the Nine Snakes pirate ship undergoing the port entry ceremony in confusion and fell into deep thought.
Normally, if the emperor dies unexpectedly during an expedition, whether in battle or due to illness, the pirate group will return to port first, instead of plundering a ship full of supplies before returning to port like now.
"Abnormal, too abnormal. No matter how you think about it, it is too abnormal."
Yuyuko, who was following Kona, sighed after thinking for a while.
This situation is not impossible.
According to Grandma Ze's explanation to Youyouzi, apart from those who died in battle, most of Amazon Lily's emperors died of lovesickness.
The storm of love is particularly fierce for the Amazon warriors. Even lovesickness is like that.
It's just that Youyouzi didn't expect that the current emperor would lie down in just three months.
It's really unpredictable.
As for why he didn't come back first, Yuyouzi guessed that it was not necessary. Generally, when an emperor dies and needs to return home immediately, there are only two problems. One is to bury the current emperor and change the place, and at the same time choose the next emperor. Hancock's petrification ability can not only be used to deal with enemies, but it can also be used to preserve corpses, so the burial can be postponed first.
After the death of the emperor, the reason why the Nine Snakes Pirates still looted enough supplies on the sea before returning to Amazon Lily, if Yuyuko guessed correctly, Hancock must have shown his past on the ship after Viviya's death. Human strength thus gains leadership.
Then the two necessary return requirements have been temporarily suppressed, and return is naturally not so urgent.
At the same time, if Hancock shows extraordinary strength and contribution in this situation, he can gain enough prestige.
If you think about it this way, Hancock will probably become the emperor of Amazon Lily soon.
It is estimated that after Viviya's burial is over, Hancock will naturally become the emperor.
Soon, the red carpet symbolizing victory was rolled out from the ship, and Hancock, with an indifferent look on his face, slowly took the lead and walked off.
Sonia and Mary followed closely, and behind them were Viviya's guards and crew. The last two soldiers in the team followed silently carrying a coffin.
Different from the joy of returning to Hong Kong in the past, this time the soldiers of Amazon Lily were only surprised and confused.
The port that should have been shrouded in cheers was now silent, and the crisp sound of heels hitting the ground echoed in everyone's ears. The silence was not broken until the entire team left the port.
"The ones just now are the three monster sisters. How come they are at the front of the queue?"
"What's going on?"
…
Youyouzi shook her head and followed Granny Ze as she slowly retreated from the crowd.
Grandma Ye, who had just withdrawn from the crowd, immediately ran towards Nine Snakes City quickly. The expression is very serious.
Youyouzi thought for a moment, then spoke to Kona and then followed her mother-in-law's footsteps and ran towards Nine Snakes City.
"Why are you here too?" Grandma Ye frowned and her running speed on the eaves slowed down. "Forget it, since you have followed me, let's go and see it with me. Hancock may have become the next Amazon Lily Emperor." "If it is that child, he is not suitable to become the emperor now. !”
A few minutes later, Youyouzi successfully witnessed Grandma Ze's sneaking skills that were difficult to detect even if she was so domineering.
The aura of Grandma Ze who had just arrived at the lower part of Nine Snakes City was suddenly blocked. Even if she used the Haki of Seeing and Hearing, she could not sense the existence of Grandma Ze. If it were not for the existence of Tingfeng, Youyouzi would probably have forgotten her subconsciously. The presence of mother-in-law.
"Don't be surprised, it's just another way of using the Haki of seeing and hearing. The Haki of seeing and hearing is actually about detecting a person's aura, and similarly, it can be done by sensing one's own aura and deliberately hiding one's own aura."
Hearing this, Yuyuko suddenly realized that, to put it simply, it is to use the Haki of seeing and hearing to perceive oneself, and then constantly adjust one's own aura, eventually making it difficult for oneself to detect one's own aura, and if oneself cannot detect one's own aura, then others will naturally do the same. It can't be noticed.
In this way, you can avoid other people's perception of domineering colors and make the enemy unable to predict your actions.
"Mother-in-law, can you teach me this?"
Mother-in-law Ze nodded, "No problem. When you are strong enough, go and learn from Ke Na. I have already given this move to her."
"It's better to deal with Hancock's matter now."
Finally the two came to the emperor's palace.
On the big bed that belonged to the emperor, the three Hancock sisters were lying down and resting.
The three-month expedition kept Hancock's nerves on edge.
For the three sisters, this expedition was a challenge for the three of them to face their past. Because in their memories, during the first expedition five years ago, they were abducted by slave traders and began a period of indelible pain.
If you want to start your life again, you have to face these unbearable pasts again. At least he must be able to return to the sea.
If he couldn't do this, Hancock felt that he might not even be able to gain a foothold in Amazon Lily.
Because of the influence of Devil Fruit abilities, the three sisters have become monster-like existences in Amazon Lily, whether it is her sweet fruit or her sister's python fruit and cobra fruit.
The three of them have been gradually isolated by Amazon Lily.
So she needs enough prestige and merit to silence others.
These are the two purposes of the three sisters going to sea this time.
However, a month after the voyage, Emperor Viviya suddenly turned gray overnight and looked haggard. It happened that at that time, a desperate pirate ship discovered them.
After that station, everyone was moved by the strength of the three Hancock sisters who defeated most of the enemy with just three people. Naturally, this also includes Viviya.
So after a night of thinking, Hancock was appointed by Viviya as the next emperor of Amazon Lily.
Then at the end of her life, Viviya asked Hancock to petrify her body, and led the Nine Snakes Pirates to complete this expedition and plunder.
Lying on the big bed, the three sisters felt that the past three months had been like a magical dream.
It's too unreal and unreal.
"But sister, if we become emperor, people won't call us monsters."
Hancock bit his lip and nodded with difficulty, "If I become the emperor, I will definitely be able to shut them up... for sure."
"How whimsical Hancock! Prejudices will not change just because you become the emperor." At some point, mother-in-law Ye appeared with Youyouzi not far from the big bed.
That day, Grandma Ye and Hancock talked a lot.
