A Hundred Thousand Girls' Dream

The old song goes, "A young monk goes down the mountain to beg for alms, but the old monk warns him: the women down the mountain are tigers; if you encounter them, stay away."

Ian hadn't thought much of it before, after all, whether or not there were boxers in the world, most of the girls he met were quite cute.

But now, facing these members of the Kuja Pirates surrounding him, Ian felt they were more terrifying and dreadful than 100,000 Akainu!

"Don't!"

Ian was completely overwhelmed by the Kuja pirates rushing towards him. "Don't touch me!"

There were countless hands, either indistinguishable or impossible to count, groping his body.

They even tried to pull him into their arms as if they were fighting over him.

Ian felt as if he were trapped in a pile of cotton, surrounded by soft cotton.

Sounds came from all around.

"Thank you! Lord Ian! You saved us!"

"That's right, Lord Ian, you are a great benefactor of Amazon Lily!"

Everything is still normal up to this point.

Ian could also praise them for being grateful.

"Lord Ian is so handsome! Please marry me!"

"I'm the Lord Ian! I'm going to give Lord Ian ten daughters!"

"I want some too! I only need five!"

The counting has begun.

Yare yare.

They say only handsome guys know how proactive girls can be. Is it just because I'm too handsome?

It's a happy kind of trouble.

Then.

"Oh! Lord Ian's whole body is covered in strong muscles!"

"Lord Ian's scent, strong and powerful! So strong!"

"Lord Ian's thighs are so bouncy!"

Ian's face turned ashen instantly.

Is this the true value of the Amazon Lily?

A super-powered, upgraded version of a girls' dormitory, right?

I remember seeing online comments saying girls are way more lewd than boys in private, and I didn't believe it. But now it seems they really are way more adventurous than the boys in our dorm.

Boys should definitely protect themselves when they go out to fight crime.

Master, help me!

Wano Country, Onigashima).

While drinking, Teacher Kai sneezed. Slightly surprised, he suddenly remembered his disciple who had mentioned going to Amazon Lily, and muttered dismissively, "Ian?"

Then immediately, the teacher continued drinking without any further concern.

What could that brat possibly have to do?

It's already a great thing that he prevents anything from happening to others.

Fortunately, although the master couldn't help, the junior sister immediately lost her temper.

"You bastards! Let Ian go!"

Yamato and charged into the Kuja Pirates' ranks surrounding Ian, and the next second, figures were thrown out one after another.

But Gloriosa, watching this scene, burst into laughter, "The young girls on the island are still so full of energy!"

"How dare you say that?"

Beside him, King Rose, whose body was being treated by his physician, looked at Gloriosa with disdain. "Someone who abandoned his country and the Kuja Pirates for so-called love, only to have to slink back in disgrace, has the nerve to spout nonsense here?"

Gloriosa scratched her face, somewhat embarrassed.

However, she still managed to maintain her composure and spoke with great passion, "This is love! Love always makes people blind! Even if the outcome isn't what you want, as long as the process is worth remembering, that's enough. Besides,"

She blinked. "Going to sea for love, isn't that the tradition of all the emperors of Amazon Lily? Rose, you're just too serious."

Rose curled his lip.

Keep being stubborn. I'd believe you if you hadn't ended up coming back all alone.

If you had the same skills as Shakky, I would think twice about you.

but.

Rose turned her head and looked at the girl standing next to her.

She stood tall and graceful, aloof and ethereal, an unparalleled young woman.

"Hancock, aren't you going to join them in causing trouble?"

Rose smiled and said, "Girls all like heroes, right?"

And Ian was the great hero who saved the island.

It's perfectly normal for the girls on the island to like him.

Rose even thought it wouldn't be bad if Ian could leave some children on the island; his children would surely be very talented, wouldn't they?

If it were Hancock and Ian's child, wouldn't it be exceptionally talented?

Rose looked at the girl in front of him.

His eyes were filled with pity.

Four years ago, when Hancock was only twelve years old, she was already a famous genius girl on Amazon Lily. Even Rose was amazed by her, so he made an exception and let her join the Kuja Pirates ahead of schedule.

But that one voyage that took her ahead of schedule plunged the three Hancock sisters into hell.

Rose felt guilty, but thankfully, Rayleigh and Shakky brought them back.

Although they returned, Rose could see that the three sisters had been left with severe psychological trauma, and they even resisted contact with other members of the pirate crew.

This can't go on. Hancock is the one she believes can inherit the throne of the Kuja Emperor.

She needs to have the demeanor of a queen.

Rose also hoped that Hancock could be as cheerful as a normal Kuja girl.

However, she also knew the chances were slim, after all, the child was always very aloof.

"May I?"

The stunningly beautiful girl suddenly turned her head, her face flushed with an unusual blush. "I can touch, touch, touch Lord Ian too—ah!!"

Seemingly embarrassed by her own words, the girl covered her face with her hands and screamed, "This is... marriage?"

Rose's lips twitched slightly. "I don't think so."

The good news is that Hancock is indeed a traditional Kuja girl.

The bad news is, it's too traditional.

Hehehe.

Rose heard a snicker coming from beside him.

She turned her head and saw Gloriosa smirking. "Love is like a storm! I told you, this is our Kuja tradition! Rose, you're the odd one out!"

Dog poop tradition.

Captain Rose's lips twitched.

but.

Am I, who dutifully clings to my positions as emperor and captain, truly the one who doesn't fit in?

"Wow, it's so lively!"

A somewhat languid voice suddenly came from behind.

Rose turned around in surprise, "Shakky!"

"Yo, Rose."

The woman, Shakky, leaned against a large tree, lazily smoking a cigarette. "Looks like Ian did a good job, huh?"

"Yes, he made his entrance like a hero from a story."

Rose smiled and turned his head, "That's why all the young women in the pirate crew like him."

But now, the poor Kuja girls have all been thrown away by the enraged white-haired girl.

A disheveled Ian was held in Princess Yamato's arms. "All of you, stay away from Ian!"

After warning the Kuja girls, Yamato, his Yamato standing on end, looked at the dejected Ian in his arms with pity. "Are you alright, Ian?"

"Fine."

Ian nodded slowly.

I just encountered the biggest crisis of my life, (in a sense, regarding my chastity).

He looked up at Yamato's worried little face.

But you, my Yamato, are the true hero who has entered the scene.

Ian couldn't help but reach out and pat Yamato's head. "Well done."

"Hey-hey."

Yamato grinned foolishly for a moment.

Meanwhile.

Hancock, who witnessed this scene, turned deathly pale in an instant, then ashen, and finally blushed with an unhealthy redness.

"Hmm--"

The girl let out a soft moan, and her tall body slumped to the ground.

"Elder sister!"

Her two younger sisters reacted quickly and rushed to catch her.

Rose's eyes twitched wildly as she witnessed this. She looked at Shakky and asked, "Is it that one?"

"That's right!"

Shakky and Gloriosa nodded emphatically in unison, "It's lovesickness!"

Nothing carries more weight than the testimony of someone who has previously suffered from the illness.

Smack

Rose slapped himself on the forehead.

It's over.

The ex and the ex-ex ran away, and now the successor is running away too.

Or should I run away first?

A hot air balloon is slowly drifting away in the sky.

"Hehehehehe!"

The birdman, sprawled in the hanging basket, was writing furiously. "I've seen something very interesting again."

Then he sighed, "It's just a pity that today's news can't be reported casually."

Otherwise, neither the Navy nor the Beasts Pirates would let him go.

If it gets to that point, it's all over.

While chaos reigned on Amazon Lily, in Mary Geoise...

Marine Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong immediately rushed to the Gorosei ' office and was given a furious scolding by his superior.

You've completely disgraced the government!

The most frequent criticism was this. "How could he stoop so low as to be held hostage and threatened by pirates! Is someone who was about to become Admiral really this useless? Go back and let that idiot Sakazuki reflect on his actions!"

He dared not utter a single word in rebuttal, letting the Gorosei rant and rave.

There's no way around it, Sakazuki really embarrassed himself this time.

He was about to become Admiral, but he was completely overwhelmed by a thirteen-year-old kid. If it weren't for the kid's concern for the government, he probably wouldn't have made it back.

The Gorosei finally had their fill of scolding.

The long-bearded Gorosei, Mars, calmed himself down and said, "That kid Ian has been making a lot of moves lately. In Dressrosa, he took away Tontatta and learned the King Punch from King Elizabello of Prodence. Sakazuki was injured by that move."

"On Fish-Man Island, he signed a relocation agreement with Neptune and even formed a Fish-Man Unit. And now, he's even brought the Kuja Pirates under his control."

Kong gasped, genuinely unaware of all the work Ian had accomplished recently. "So the Beasts Pirates are developing very quickly?"

Although neither the Tontatta, the Fish-Man Unit, nor the Kuja Pirates seemed particularly powerful to Kong, adding three forces at once seemed too fast, didn't it?

"So what exactly is your navy doing?"

Saturn, the bearded man, glared at the empty space. The pirates' enemy is the Navy, not the World Government; this has been the norm for eight hundred years.

He then added, "However, it's definitely time to take the development of the Beasts Pirates seriously."

"Let's keep an eye on the Beasts Pirates for now. They're still under control, but things will probably be different in a few years."

The Gorosei looked at the Marine Fleet Admiral, "Kong, pay attention, don't let us down."

He only uttered empty words.

But I was also complaining inside.

The Navy's adversaries are pirates from all over the world.

With the Great Pirate Era intensifying, it won't be easy for the Navy to spare enough forces to defeat the Beasts Pirates.

Sigh, let's just hope the Beasts Pirates will calm down a bit from now on.

We should hurry up and hand over the position of Fleet Admiral to that Sengoku guy.

Amazon Lily.

Ian and Yamato, as the most distinguished guests, entered the interior of the Kuja Kingdom with the Kuja Pirates.

After passing through the narrow passage, the space suddenly opens up.

It has a feeling of the Peach Blossom Spring, with flat land, neat houses, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboo groves.

However, the area inside these mountains wasn't very large; there wasn't even a bustling city. Ian only saw a few villages.

A rough calculation suggests that the total population of this country is probably only around one or two hundred thousand, which is less than one-twentieth of Fish-Man Island's population, let alone compared to Wano Country.

Ian looked up at the distant mountainside, where rows of buildings suspended on the cliff face were quite unique.

However, because Akainu destroyed one side of the mountain wall, the suspended buildings on that side collapsed.

As he surveyed the scenery of the country, Ian casually remarked, "Why didn't Senior Rayleigh come?"

Shakky, walking a few steps ahead of him, said casually while smoking, "Old Lei said it wouldn't be convenient for him to come over."

Ian nodded slightly.

He is now Kuja's great benefactor, and practically Shakky's benefactor as well, but to Rayleigh, he is the enemy who killed his friend.

Therefore, the best way to handle this is to avoid appearing in front of him.

This is the composure of an adult.

"Congratulations, young man!"

Shakky said slowly.

Now Amazon Lily has indeed become the territory of the Beasts Pirates.

And there's no way to refuse.

Congratulations!

Ian chuckled softly.

"I'm just a little curious,"

Shakky turned her head slightly. "Young man, is it really worth facing someone like Sakazuki for the sake of Kuja?"

She knew very well that if Ian's charged attack failed, he would be finished.

After all, it's impossible for someone to have known from the beginning that Lao Lei and I would be coming, right?

Ian declared righteously, "The crisis on Amazon Lily is all due to the emergence of the Seastone inlay technique, and this technique was advertised in the newspaper by me in order to sell Seastone. So, strictly speaking, the crisis on Kuja is all because of me."

"Therefore, it is my duty!"

How can we say "great, glorious, and correct"? Great, glorious, and correct!

Shakky's lips twitched slightly.

That kid really has the nerve to say that.

but.

"Oh! Lord Ian!!"

The girls of the Kuja Pirates screamed. If Yamato hadn't nimbly stepped in front of Ian once again, they would have pounced on him.

"But Lord Ian,"

King Rose approached, showing Ian great respect. "Why disband the Kuja Pirates? Without the Kuja Pirates hunting for resources, this country would be finished."

The Kuja Pirates ceased operations; this was Ian giving face to the Gorosei.

"The Calm Belt is no longer safe."

Ian said, "If we continue to plunder everywhere like we have in the past, it will undoubtedly be provoking the Navy's nerves, which is a very dangerous act."

"But,"

King Rose sighed, "In that case, what should we Kuja do?"

Ian smiled and said, "Don't forget, King Rose, you now have the Beasts Pirates behind you. We'll help you with anything!"

Seriously speaking, with the meager population of the Kuja Kingdom, the Beasts Pirates could easily support them all.

"Really?"

The King of Rose' was overjoyed.

Ian smiled, "Wano Country has no shortage of Seastone. You can easily build a fleet that can traverse the Calm Belt, or even become merchants traveling between the Grand Line and the Four Blues— that should be enough for you to make a living."

"Oh! Is that so?"

Rose's eyes lit up.

"Even,"

Ian thought for a moment. The Kuja Kingdom had been isolated from the world for too long, and most of its citizens didn't even know what men looked like. He added, "If you're not good at business, just rent those ships to one of my friends as an investment, and he can give you dividends on time."

Umit shouldn't mind, right?

"That's great!"

Rose breathed a sigh of relief.

If you could live a life of leisure, who would want to be a pirate?

In the time it takes to say a few words, the group has already entered the country lanes of the Kuja Kingdom, and soon they arrived at a village.

Their arrival caused an immediate uproar in the village.

All the women in the village poured out, especially the naive young girls, who stared at Ian with a fervent gaze that made his scalp tingle.

"Is that a man? This is the first time I've ever seen one!"

"Don't use that kind of manly language! That's Lord Ian! Lord Ian who saved us!"

Yes, news of that battle has already spread throughout the entire Amazon Lily.

"Lord Ian! Will you have a child with me?"

A girl looked at Ian and then shouted loudly.

It was as if some kind of infinite loop switch had been flipped; the shouts began to rise and fall instantly.

"Lord Ian! Please marry me!"

"Oh! Lord Ian!!"

Ian Ian Ian.

Ian had never thought his name sounded so awful; the endless repetition of his name made him dizzy and lightheaded.

"Hehehe, young man,"

Shakky said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Now, you're the dream lover of every girl on Amazon Lily."

Ian's lips twitched slightly.

Shakky was right. Every time they passed through a village, cheers of "Lord Ian! Lord Ian!" would erupt from within.

Ian was now convinced that it was truly a phenomenon among countless young girls, wasn't it?

But Ian felt a little scared.

There are no men on Amazon Lily, nor is there a Mother-Child River. Girls in this country who want to have children go out to sea and return pregnant.

It's terrifying to think about.

Professional marriage scammers are...

Being targeted by millions of girls like this, Ian felt a little uneasy.

In any case, a group of people arrived at the Kuja Palace, where King Rose was to hold a welcoming banquet for Ian and Yamato.

Yes, when in doubt, a banquet is often held; this is a common practice at sea.
