A sound rose from the jungle once more.
Immediately afterward, three figures burst out of the dense forest.
Two were tall, and one was short.
The two tall ones were still young, one with green hair and the other with orange hair. The short one was a shriveled old woman.
"Big Sister!"
The green-haired woman shouted excitedly the moment she rushed out of the forest.
But she did not see her elder sister.
By the shore, Rayleigh sat on the ground, smiling as he told stories to the female warriors, making the girls laugh uncontrollably.
"Rayleigh!!"
The orange-haired woman was more powerfully built. Upon seeing Rayleigh, she exclaimed in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Oh! Sandersonia! Marigold!"
Rayleigh turned back with a smile. "You two have grown up too!"
Though they had grown a little too much. They had clearly been about the same height as Hancock before, so how had they both become little giants now?
"Rayleigh, it's been a long time. Have you been well?"
The green-haired Sandersonia also greeted Rayleigh warmly.

"Hahahaha, thanks to you two, I've been doing quite well."
Rayleigh replied with a chuckle.

The short old woman, the former ruler of Amazon Lily from long ago known as Elder Nyon, leaned on her snake-headed cane and asked in confusion, "And where is the Snake Princess?"
"Someone asked me to bring him here."
Rayleigh pointed toward the distant shore. "As for Hancock, she's talking to him right now."
"A man?" Elder Nyon asked suspiciously.
"A man." Rayleigh nodded.
Elder Nyon bared her teeth. "Then that man is dead."
