Half a day later.
An island is slowly flying in mid-air.
"Tsk tsk, we've finally arrived at this legendary kingdom of women!"
"Your Majesty is truly amazing; you actually managed to get your hands on the Pirate Empress! Hehe~"
"I wonder if there are any beautiful women in Amazon Lily who lack strong men."
···
Two airships from the Goa Empire landed on the floating Amazon Lily.
Some Baron harbored fantasies about this Amazon Lily, yearning for a romantic encounter.
Perhaps it was because they had obtained permission from the Pirate Empress to allow men from the Goa Empire to enter the country that countless women in the Amazon Lily lowered their guard against these outsiders.
There were indeed hundreds, even thousands, of women who had never seen a man before, who came to join in the fun and study the differences between these men.
A large number of young women even took notebooks and sketchbooks and began to record and draw these men.
Sanji and Aramaki, the two conspicuous figures, even took off their upper clothes, revealing their strong bodies, and posed in bodybuilding positions, allowing the women to touch and study them.
Immersed in the caresses and tugs of countless women, his eyes turned into hearts, lost in bliss.
Seeing how much fun Sanji and Aramaki were having, Bill, Burgess, Eric, El Drago, and the others joined the 'research' team with red eyes.
Enjoy the touch of countless soft little hands and precise measurements.
Even Ou Jinjin's cousin, was repeatedly and roughly pulled by these innocent women from the Amazon Lily, eliciting cries of pain from them.
But these guys stubbornly persevered and continued to enjoy themselves without a care in the world.
In the end, even Benn Beckman and Capone Bege stopped being so reserved and 'voluntarily' became models for the beauties of the Amazon Lily, allowing them to study the uniqueness of men and the differences in height, weight, and build.
···
Inside the royal palace of the Amazon Lily.
Watching Boa Hancock, the Pirate Empress, cling to Wang Shi like a little girl.
Uta, the newlywed princess, was also quite helpless.
Sally, the Empress of the Empire who was embarking on her first voyage with the Wang Shi, was also a little jealous.
Seeing how much Wang Shi enjoyed himself, Empress Sally decided to imitate the pretty face of the Pirate Empress.
The ever-changing Nine-Tailed Fox Queen is the woman the Wang Shi loves and cherishes most!
However, the imperial concubines like Reiju, Baby5, and Vivi were already used to it.
"Rayleigh, I originally wanted you, Gaban, and Garp— these three legendary old men—to protect Sun God Nika."
"How come Gaban runs so fast?"
Wang Shi embraced the Pirate Empress as they sat on the throne, and laughed at Dark King Rayleigh face had darkened.
"Hmph, if he can't even reach the Sabaody Archipelago, it proves that this chosen one is nothing special."
Rayleigh retorted irritably. He didn't have time to keep an eye on Nika, the ability user. Didn't he have his own life?
To guide this chosen one, Crocus, the ship's doctor of the Roger Pirates, was responsible for providing the Log Pose at the entrance to the Grand Line, guiding this Nika Fruit user, Nika, onto the fourth route that the Roger Pirates had traveled.
Meanwhile, Dark King Rayleigh, the right-hand man of the Pirate King, works as a coating worker on Sabaody Archipelago of the Grand Line, providing protection and guidance to the chosen one.
To safely deliver this chosen one to the New World.
As for Gaban, the Pirate King's left-hand man, he's in Elbaf, in the latter part of the New World, waiting for the chosen one to come and complete the final upgrade of his Conqueror's Haki.
All of this has been clearly arranged by fate.
This is what is known as the chosen one.
"You guys are really bold."
Wang Shi smiled faintly, letting Straw Hat Luffy grow freely, only providing assistance at crucial moments.
This demonstrates the Roger Pirates' trust in the Sun God Nika and in the prophecy.
They believed that the Sun God Nika would overcome all the crises, grow rapidly, and become the true chosen one.
"This is fate's choice! We believe in him!"
Dark King Rayleigh, spoke earnestly, but seeing Wang Shi's meaningful smile, his tone became somewhat uncertain.
Knowing so much information and news, Rayleigh was Wang Shi to lose his composure.
If Wang Shi pulls some tricks, Straw Hat Luffy will really have no chance to grow stronger.
Even if he, Gaban, and Garp protected Straw Hat Luffy, it wouldn't make a difference.
"Fate, what an irresponsible word..."
Wang Shi did not delve further into the issue of fate and prophecy.
He couldn't understand why the Roger Pirates, after landing on the Laugh Tale, Laugh Tale, so readily believed in the prophecy left by Joy Boy.
That fool Kozuki Oden, because of the prophecy of opening the country twenty years later, didn't even want to resist Kurozumi Orochi and Beast Kaido at first.
This is absolutely outrageous!
After leaving Laugh Tale, Roger told Rayleigh that his son would become the chosen one.
Rayleigh asked Roger, "Roger, where is your son?"
Roger just laughed heartily.
Roger knew perfectly well that Rayleigh would never have a son, since Shakky possessed the unique bloodline of the Amazon Lily and could never give birth to a boy.
To avoid being unable to father a son, Pirate King Roger continued to ignore Gloria, the former Queen of Amazon Lily Gloriosa, who was madly in love with him.
On the island of Baterila in the South China Sea, he found a blonde beauty, Portgas D. Rouge, who was also a member of the D. clan.
This ensured the purity of the D Clan's bloodline while also providing an opportunity to have a son.
Although he had a child with Rouge, there was only a one-in-five chance that the offspring would be a boy.
Therefore, he left Rouge with two names, Ace and Ann, one for a boy and one for a girl.
But there's at least a 50% chance it's a son, a chance to become the chosen one.
If he accepts Gloriosa's advances, he'll truly end up like Rayleigh, unable to have a son for the rest of his life.
Roger believed in fate's choices, but he also believed in giving fate the opportunity to choose.
If she were to marry Gloriosa, she would have no choice but to have a daughter.
Roger, terminally ill and on the verge of death, married Portgas D. Rouge, and he truly made the right gamble.
Rouge endured 20 months of labor and gave birth to his son.
Shanks, Roger's successor, also stayed in Foosha Village for a full year with the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, just to find Ace, who was adopted by Fist Garp.
But in the end, all their efforts were in vain, as Monkey D. Luffy accidentally ate the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika.
This grandson of Garp has become the new chosen one!
When Red-Haired Shanks saw the emergence of a new chosen one who had eaten the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika, he even risked his own life to lead this grandson of a naval hero onto the path of unwavering piracy, and entrusted Captain Roger's Straw Hat to Luffy.
Of course, Red-Haired Shanks also took the opportunity to sever his left arm and break free from Imu's control.
In short, it's a win-win situation.
Roger made a promise to Rayleigh that his son would become the chosen one, but ultimately, he fell short.
Fate has made its own choice!
Since Roger entrusted his son to Fist Garp, fate bestowed the destiny of the chosen one upon Garp's grandson.
Roger's biological son became the turning point that ignited an era.
He became the nourishment for the growth of Straw Hat Luffy, the Sun God Nika, and also contributed to the rise of Teach, the Son of Darkness.
This is what they call fate.
Roger and the entire Roger Pirates were manipulated by fate and prophecy.
Wang Shi dismissed this with disdain.
He came into this world to break free from destiny and fate.
Screw the prophecy!
