Arrival in the Daughter Country! Reunited Again

Amazon Lily.

This is a small country located deep in the Calm Belt, on an island called Amazon Lily.

The total population nationwide is less than 100,000.

However, there are few countries in the world more famous than this.

Because Amazon Lily is also known as the Daughter Country, and only women live in this country, it is a truly all-female kingdom and a dreamland that men all over the world yearn for.

If this country weren't located deep within the Calm Belt, inaccessible to ordinary people, and if the Kuja Pirates weren't renowned and powerful, it would have been conquered by madmen countless years ago.

Even so, the country has become somewhat chaotic today.

Kuja Castle, the residence of the queens of the Daughter Country's Kingdom throughout history.

It is a unique building constructed on a steep cliff on the back of a ring-shaped mountain range.

Meanwhile, inside this building...

The Kuja Warriors this country were summoned.

"Granny Nyon,"

The captain of the Kuja Warriors, a woman with a long red snake coiled around her body, looked somewhat bewildered at the panicked old woman before Kikyo.

What do you mean by "this country is in danger"?

Robin has sent a message: Roa is coming!

Gloriosa, a former member of the Rocks Pirates and the former captain of the Kuja Pirates, leaned on a cane made of a long snake. His face, which had become deeply lined with wrinkles due to his age, was covered in cold sweat.

"Roa?"

Kikyo, the captain of the Kuja Warriors, blinked blankly. "Who is it?"

"Forehead..."

The utterly panicked Gloriosa was genuinely taken aback.

Yes!

This country is incredibly isolated!

Apart from the members of the Kuja Pirates and the women who left the country to sail away in search of a child, the other women living on this island had never even seen a man.

Roa, the man who stirred up a huge storm around the world, seemed quite unfamiliar and had no prestige in this country.

In short, he's a very dangerous guy!

Gloriosa's chest heaved violently, her tone grave, "He possesses the power to sink the entire Amazon Lily to the bottom of the sea with a mere gesture."

"Eh!!"

The Kuja Warriors could hardly believe it, "Such a powerful guy?"

"Why would such a powerful guy come here?"

One of the Kuja Warriors was a girl with beautiful short blonde hair, Marguerite asked with some curiosity.

"We came for Robin and the others."

The speaker was another woman in the palace.

She had completely white hair, a slender and tall figure, and many wrinkles on her face, but her temperament was outstanding, and it was clear that she was definitely a great beauty when she was young.

The woman's name is Nico Olvia, the mother of Robin, the current Emperor of Kuja Lily, and the teacher of almost all the young women on Amazon Lily.

Kikyo's face darkened. "So they're here for Lady Robin and the others?"

"Understood, Granny Nyon, Teacher Olvia, so we're preparing for the battle, right?"

"How is that possible!"

Gloriosa almost screamed, "On the contrary, you absolutely cannot resist that guy!"

"Hey!"

The Kuja Warriors were all taken aback.

Is resistance not allowed?

Listen carefully!

Gloriosa said with a serious expression, "I'm not exaggerating when I say that guy has the power to sink the entire Amazon Lily with a flick of his wrist!"

"That kid is a true walking natural disaster; in terms of destructive power alone, no one in the world can compare to him!"

"If he really does arrive before Robin and the others, then you only have one thing to do: maintain order in the country and don't let anyone provoke him!"

"Otherwise, Amazon Lily would collapse and the world would shatter in an instant!"

The Kuja Warriors remained bewildered.

"Do as Gloriosa says,"

Olvia sighed as well, "If we truly anger that man, then only destruction awaits this country."

"... yes!"

The soldiers finally nodded seriously, then hurriedly left to carry out the orders given to them by Granny Nyon.

Although he was an emperor from a previous dynasty, he still retains some authority to issue orders in the absence of the current emperor.

After the Kuja Warriors left, only Olvia and Gloriosa remained in the palace.

"It's really frustrating,"

Olvia shook her head dejectedly, "There's no way to escape."

There wasn't another ship to be found on the entire Amazon Lily; the only one was the Perfume Serpent, used by the Kuja Pirates.

After all, being in the Calm Belt means that normal ships cannot sail, and Sea Beast can bring unexpected surprises.

Therefore, even though they knew that Roa was coming soon, they had no way to escape.

All we can do is wait helplessly.

"Gloriosa, do you think Roa will make a move against Amazon Lily?"

"Olvia asked."

Gloriosa glanced back at the woman.

Years ago, she was found and brought back by Shakky after wandering the seas. But when she saw this woman, she almost cried from anger.

This woman stole the man she loved most and even had a daughter with Roger.

Now they've even gone all the way to her hometown!

Because of this relationship, she and Olvia have been somewhat estranged over the years.

But now is certainly not the time to dwell on these inexplicable things.

"It's hard to say,"

Gloriosa's expression was grave. "Roa is a born scoundrel who takes pleasure in the suffering of others!"

"He already took pleasure in tormenting people when he was very young."

As a child, Roa was indeed very cute, but only in appearance.

Back then, Roa particularly enjoyed tormenting people.

Gloria still vividly remembers the pirate battle royale that kid orchestrated on Beehive Island.

Looking back, wasn't it just a youthful version of the God Valley incident?

It's a real shame that Roa wasn't born among the Celestial Dragons.

"But,"

Roa's kind aunt continued, "He actually didn't like killing as much as torturing."

"Because human suffering is his food!"

"But,"

Olvia shook her head. "Whether he likes killing or not, this country will become his bargaining chip to blackmail Robin and the others."

"Now we can only hope that Robin and the others come back first!"

Gloriosa said, "If Rayleigh and Shanks come along too, along with Robin and Hancock, they might be able to put up a fight against Roa. I just don't know how many people they brought this time!"

It's not just his personal strength; that brat Roa has also gathered a power that completely surpasses that of the Rocks Pirates back in the day!

Even the World Government is helpless against them. If they really go all out, even if Robin returns with the remnants of Roger Pirates, they probably won't stand a chance.

Olvia, however, knew more.

Roa has even destroyed Mary Geoise; he has most likely confronted Imu directly and escaped unscathed. Can Shanks and Robin truly contend with such power?

Olvia felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

In any case, this is all they can do now.

Now, it's up to fate...

"Oh no! Granny Nyon! Teacher Olvia! A huge ship is coming down from the sky!"

A Kuja Warriors hurriedly ran back.

Gloriosa and Olvia's expressions changed drastically in an instant.

How could it be so fast?

Has an hour passed since we received the contact from Robin and his team?

The Calm Belt, as the name suggests, are a sea area without wind.

There was neither wind nor clouds; it was always a clear, cloudless sky.

Therefore, when the Sky Battleship, held aloft by an enormous Golden Divine Bird, slowly came to a stop in the sky, Roa, standing on the deck of the ship, could clearly see the island below.

"Oh, Amazon Lily, the island lives up to its name."

Roa had sharp eyes, so even from high in the air, he could see at a glance the nine Orochi carved on the mountain peak facing Amazon Lily.

Below these nine snake-head sculptures, the words "Kuja" are written in huge characters on the mountain wall.

"Vomit--"

Bege stood beside Roa, pale-faced, leaning against the gunwale, almost vomiting. "This is way too fast—"

What kind of monster is that bird that the boss summoned? How can it carry such a massive ship Luffy such an astonishing speed?

It was so fast that he felt like his brain was being shaken to mush!

Not to mention him, even a monster like Loki turned pale.

He was almost thrown off by inertia during the two moments when the large bird started and decelerated.

"Hahaha, what a bunch of useless bastards."

Only Enel grinned.

This speed was still too slow for him.

Do you even understand the significance of lightning?

"But is this the legendary Daughter Country?"

Bege wiped her mouth, her bloodshot eyes now revealing an obvious excitement.

No wonder, how many men in the world could resist Daughter Country?

"The world's only all-female nation, isn't that amazing?"

Roa grinned too.

In its previous life, the so-called all-female economy suffered repeated defeats and became a laughing stock, its biggest positive effect being to provide amusement for netizens.

But it doesn't matter, this is the world of anime!

What's wrong with an all-female kingdom? An all-female kingdom is amazing!

"Let's go down and take a look."

At Roa's command, the massive airship began to slowly descend.

Meanwhile, Amazon Lily was in complete chaos.

"What is that?! A sea ship flying in the sky?!"

"I can't believe such a ship exists in the world! But why would it come here?!"

"Intruders? Oh no! The Kuja Pirates have set sail!"

The people of this country were in a state of panic.

Foreign attack—this was an unprecedented event for the country, one that hadn't been seen in centuries.

Although the Calm Belt are dangerous, it must be said that this sea area has indeed protected this country too well.

Fortunately, at this time, the Kuja Warriors had received the orders from Gloriosa and Olvia began to take action.

These agile soldiers dispersed and maintained order in various locations.

"Don't get agitated! Let's wait for Granny Nyon and the others to handle it!"

"Everyone hide! Don't even think about fighting!"

They faithfully carried out Gloriosa's orders.

At that moment, Gloriosa and Olvia, who had rushed out of the palace, also clearly saw the large ship descending in the sky.

"This is the worst possible situation!"

Gloriosa's face was deathly pale, and her words seemed to be forced out from between her teeth.

Yes, that's the worst-case scenario.

Olvia was equally solemn and deeply moved.

In that case, everyone in the entire country of Amazon Lily would become Roa's hostage!

Roa is definitely not an upright person!

His favorite thing to do is coercion and intimidation!

In the blink of an eye, the large ship had descended into the air, and the height of the top deck was no more than that of the Kuja Castle, which was suspended in the middle of the cliff.

Both Gloriosa and Olvia could clearly see the enormous creature standing on the deck.

That's Cursed Giant Prince Loki!

And beside that behemoth—

Olvia was pale.

Gaban...

"Oh, is this Aunt Gloriosa? It's been so many years!"

A figure lightly leaped from the deck and landed in front of the two. "Oh, and Olvia too. You've aged quite a bit over the years."

Looking at the two aged women before him, Roa couldn't help but sigh, "The most fleeting things in life are beauty; youth fades from the mirror, flowers wither from the tree."

What do those two great beauties look like now?

Olvia is somewhat better; similar to Vice Admiral Tsuru, she has indeed aged, but her temperament remains outstanding.

But, Aunt Gloriosa, this is... sigh.

At the same time, both women's pupils contracted slightly.

Although I had seen it in newspapers and on wanted posters long ago, seeing this guy in person, looking exactly the same as he did more than twenty years ago, still left me deeply shocked.

"Roa..."

Olvia remained silent.

More than twenty years ago, Roa couldn't even defeat Roger, so what about now?

At the same time, even though she was deeply shocked, Gloriosa quickly came to her senses.

Is the only thing that might slightly restrain Roa now her past friendship with Roa?

"Haha, little Roa!"

Gloriosa laughed until her eyes narrowed into slits. "Haven't seen you since God Valley, have you! You've really made something of yourself these days, kid. A bounty of 100 billion—I never even dreamed of such a thing before!"

"That's not enough,"

Roa shrugged, feigning helplessness, and said, "The fact that the World Government still dares to put a bounty on me means it's not enough. They really don't take me seriously, right?"

"Yes, the World Government truly deserves to die!"

Gloriosa, equally indignant, declared, "Next time you go to war with the government, remember to call us!"

"Auntie, I'll help you deal with those scumbags from the World Government!"

Let's just go along with this guy for now, and buy him as much time as we can.

"Forget about it, Aunt Gloriosa,"

Roa made no attempt to hide his disdain in his words, "At your age, you should just enjoy your retirement."

He grinned. "However, the Kuja Pirates are not bad, especially Robin and Hancock. I like beautiful and strong women."

Has Roa completely turned into a lecherous brat?

Gloriosa cursed inwardly, but smiled and said, "In that case, let's discuss it with them after they return."

"Hmm, I hope they won't refuse, otherwise,"

Roa turned around and looked down at the not-so-large country. "Ah, what a wonderful place. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a boy's dream. Wouldn't it be such a pity if it were destroyed like this?"

Both Gloriosa and Olvia felt a chill run down their spines at that moment.

Were they truly prepared to destroy this country at any moment?

"Roa,"

Gloriosa swallowed hard, her words laced with trepidation, "Isn't it a bit much? We can talk things out, you know? I used to hold you in my arms!"

"Alright, Aunt Gloriosa,"

Roa turned around and chuckled lightly, "The fate of this country is not up to me."

"You shouldn't be trying to persuade me; you should be trying to persuade Robin and the others instead."

"..."

Gloriosa's heart continued to sink.

"Oh, right,"

Roa laughed and said, "I've come all this way, you haven't even prepared a welcome banquet for me, have you?"

Gloriosa's face paled slightly.

Even though they hadn't seen each other for decades, she still remembered exactly what delicious food Roa had enjoyed.

"Hmm? Aunt Gloriosa, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you?"

Roa laughed, "If there's no banquet, I'll just have to eat at the buffet."

"..."

Gloriosa felt the flesh on her cheeks trembling. "Okay..."

That brat, doesn't he have even a shred of lingering affection?
