Sandersonia's initial anger and sense of betrayal were replaced, at this moment, by immense shock and a strong desire for knowledge.
If they could truly learn this, then these past few months of Chakra training would not have been in vain!
Especially for them, Devil Fruit users.
Being able to freely walk on the sea was simply a dream skill for all Ability Users.

The anger in Sandersonia's eyes gradually subsided, replaced by a hint of anticipation.
She looked at Uchiha Yoru on the sea and asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure, with our current Chakra, we can really learn it?"
"I'm sure," Night nodded affirmatively.
"This technique is inherently designed for beginners with limited Chakra. The difficulty lies in the precision of control, not the amount of Chakra.
I will send the absolute geniuses of our clan to teach you until one of you succeeds."
As he spoke, Night waved towards Shisui on the shore and shouted loudly:
"No problem, Shisui!"
"I'll do my best, Clan Head," Shisui gave Night a thumbs-up.
The Clan Head really knows how to handle things, calming down that group of berserk women in just a few words.
Is Water Walking really that important?
Why do those women seem so eager?
Shisui didn't quite understand.
"...Alright!" Sandersonia exchanged glances with the other leading warriors and finally nodded heavily.
"We'll trust you one more time! We'll learn this 'Water Walking'! But if this is also..."
"If you can't even learn Water Walking, then you shouldn't be carrying swords, you should be carrying hoes," Night shrugged, putting on a look of disdain.
The storm temporarily subsided.
For the next month, the Kuja warriors temporarily halted their Chakra refinement.
Uchiha Shisui and several clan members skilled in Chakra control patiently guided the Kuja warriors on how to precisely cover the soles of their feet with Chakra, how to sense the ripples on the water and adjust accordingly.
The process was not smooth sailing.
For the Kuja warriors, accustomed to the broad and powerful application of Haki, this delicate operation was very awkward at first. Many fell into the sea repeatedly, becoming drenched.
But in order to master the divine skill of Water Walking.
The Kuja warriors approached it with the utmost enthusiasm, tirelessly practicing Water Walking... falling into the water... and Water Walking again...
After countless failures, finally, someone succeeded!
The first to succeed was surprisingly Granny Niu, who only started practicing Water Walking midway.
Granny Niu was already very old and wasn't that eager for an increase in strength.
However, to prevent those red-eyed brats from playing tricks, she was among the first batch of Kuja warriors to cultivate Chakra.
After cultivating Chakra and sensing that there were no issues with this power, Granny Niu paused her training.
Later, she heard that the other party was going to teach them how to walk on the sea.
As a former great pirate who had sailed the seas, this skill truly struck a chord with Granny Niu.
So, she very proactively joined the Water Walking training.
Then, during one moment of concentration, Granny Niu was pleasantly surprised to find herself standing steadily on the sea surface. Although she could only hold it for a short ten-odd seconds, it was already very surprising to her!
Those red-eyed brats didn't lie, we can also walk on the sea!
Subsequently, as if triggering a chain reaction, more and more Kuja warriors gradually grasped the knack.
As if they had gotten a fun new toy, they excitedly practiced walking and running on the sea surface.
Although they were still wobbly, the novelty and sense of freedom from being unbound by ships and standing directly on the sea made the Kuja warriors incredibly excited.
"We did it! I'm really standing on the water!"
"Great! I'll never be afraid of falling into the sea again!"
"This ability is too useful!"
Cheers echoed along the coastline.
The Kuja warriors, who had come aggressively seeking retribution a month ago, were now filled with the joy and excitement of mastering a new power.
The hostility in their gaze towards Uchiha Yoru had also significantly decreased.
Meanwhile, in the palace of Kuja City.
"Damn it, Sandersonia, Marigold, you can all walk on the sea now? Why can't I?!"
Empress Hancock, in her luxurious palace, had her peerless beauty filled with indignation.
The two younger sisters, due to the uniqueness of their Devil Fruits and the seals on their backs, did not practice Water Walking on the sea with the clan members at the beginning of this period.
Instead, they practiced Water Walking in the Imperial Palace's swimming pool.
At first, the Empress couldn't believe that people could walk on water.
Could it be the Navy's Geppo?
The user generates propulsion by stomping on the air multiple times with powerful leg strength, creating a hovering effect similar to stepping on stairs, allowing them to move and attack in mid-air.
But from the two younger sisters' descriptions, it didn't seem like it.
Because if propulsion was generated by powerful leg strength, the resulting backward thrust would be enormous.
It couldn't possibly be like the description, "calmly walking on the sea," and they could stand on the sea for a long time?
So the Empress concluded that her two younger sisters had been tricked by that red-eyed brat again.
It was useless no matter how Sandersonia and the other explained.
Finally, Sandersonia and her sister stopped explaining and decided to practice first. Once they succeeded, their elder sister would naturally believe them.
Then, every day, the Empress watched her two younger sisters practice Water Walking... fall into the water... and practice Water Walking again...
A little over half a month passed, and the two were actually able to walk somewhat unsteadily on the water.
Could that red-eyed brat have been telling the truth?
People really can walk on water.
Seeing this, the Empress became a little restless.
Think of me, Boa Hancock, as the Kuja Island Emperor, a Shichibukai, with unmatched strength on the entire island, and revered by the world as the most beautiful woman in the world.
Whether it's strength or charm, I consider myself to be at the pinnacle of Kuja Island.
But now, her own Kuja clan members could walk on the sea, and she, the Emperor, was falling behind!
How could her proud self-esteem accept this?
When the Uchiha Clan first taught Chakra, she had scoffed.
She thought it was just some unorthodox method, far inferior to her own perfected Haki and Devil Fruit abilities.
Even when her clan members gradually cultivated Chakra later, she hadn't paid any attention.
Not until now, watching her two younger sisters walk on water.
The Empress suddenly felt that this technique called Water Walking didn't seem so useless after all!
If I cultivate it, it won't tarnish my beauty!
But with her pride, how could she bring herself to learn from the Uchiha members, whom she had never treated well?
Especially that Uchiha Yoru, whom she hated so much she wanted to beat him up!
Therefore, while the Kuja warriors were enthusiastically practicing Water Walking, the Empress secretly summoned her sister, Sandersonia.
"Sandersonia, tell me, the method you're cultivating... for Chakra, and that Water Walking technique, tell it to me completely."
The Empress commanded casually, but her gaze involuntarily drifted out the window.
