The Man Who Fell into the Amazon Lily

Chapter 001: The Man Who Fell on Amazon Lily

"Empress, the man found on the island has woken up," a female Amazon warrior reported with her head bowed outside the curtain.

"So he's awake. Why are you bothering me with such a trivial matter now?"

A lazy, charming voice came from inside the curtain, tinged with a hint of anger. Clearly, the Empress, who hadn't slept well, wasn't in a good mood.

"But he said he used to be a slave of the Celestial Dragons and has important secrets about the World Government's dealings with the Amazon Lily Kingdom that he wants to tell you. He said only you are qualified to hear them." The Amazon warrior outside the curtain was under immense pressure and risk. Especially facing an intruder, a man who had trespassed on Nine Snake Island due to a shipwreck, when the Empress was a powerful and notoriously ill-tempered individual, she could easily take her anger out on them.

However, such secrets were clearly beyond their qualifications to hear. The man had insisted on seeing the Empress and refused to speak with them, causing them great distress. They had no choice but to report it layer by layer up to this point, for the Empress to decide.

"Hancock, go meet him!"

An aged female voice rang out. A short, white-haired old woman, barely reaching the Amazon warrior's thigh outside the curtain, appeared in the sleeping quarters, dressed in gaudy attire. Her voice made the woman inside the curtain furious, "You old hag, why are you barging in again?!"

"Hmph, for the sake of the nation, I'd brave mountains of knives and seas of fire!" The old woman, speaking formally, didn't give the Empress a chance to play around any longer. She said seriously and sternly, "Really, you should meet him, Hancock."

She usually gave the Empress face in front of others, addressing her as "Her Majesty the Empress." Only in private, when things were serious, would she call her by her real name, Hancock. As the former former former emperor who brought Hancock to Nine Snake Island and pushed her onto the throne, even though they often bickered, the Empress would still consider her opinion on major matters.

Hearing her address her so seriously, the woman inside the curtain fell silent for a moment before finally raising her hand slightly and saying, "Let him come over."

"Also, have Sandersonia and Marigold come over too."

The Amazon warrior, unaware that the Empress behind the curtain was trembling slightly and only asking for her sisters to bolster her courage, thought her Empress trusted her two sisters immensely, hence wanting them to come and listen in.

But Gloriosa, the former former former emperor of Amazon, who had brought the three sisters out from under Fisher Tiger and back to Amazon, how could she not know that Hancock was actually afraid?

Afraid of the hoof print on her back, afraid of the reputation of the Celestial Dragons, afraid of the word "slave." That's why the Empress, who usually drove her away, didn't mention it at all now, and even called her two younger sisters to escort her.

Who would have thought that the Pirate Empress, proficient in Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, and Observation Haki, was actually such a fragile girl inside?

Before long, her two sisters had walked in from the city of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, followed closely by the shipwreck survivor who had drifted to the Amazon Lily Kingdom island.

The man who was kindly rescued by the nation's warriors.

A slave of the Celestial Dragons...

He was barefoot, wearing only an Amazonian women's bath robe, with nothing visible underneath, revealing large expanses of his chest muscles. He had short hair, and beneath his sharp eyebrows were two deep-set eyes, like stars twinkling in the dark night sky. In fact, because his eyes seemed to speak, his other features and build were no longer that important.

"Thank you for saving my life!" He stood outside the curtain, looking at Sandersonia and Marigold, who stood like guardians on either side of the Empress. These two giant women, over four meters tall, bowed ninety degrees and said solemnly.

His attitude immediately won the favor of the three people outside the curtain.

In this world, recklessness was the norm, rudeness was common, and illiteracy was ninety-nine percent of the population.

Someone like him, who was so polite, was an anomaly in this world, a strange fellow. But who didn't like it when others were polite to them?

"Enough with the pleasantries," the woman behind the curtain said. Her voice wasn't like those of loli-voiced or coquettish TikTok girls, but combined with her aura, it was astonishingly pleasant, making one want to hear her speak more. "What is this secret about Amazon Lily that you mentioned?"

The young man stood up. Marigold and Sandersonia then noticed that although he wasn't tall, when he stood straight, he reached their waists, about 1.85 meters. His back and waist were very straight, and he stood as tall and straight as a pine tree, drawing involuntary glances.

"Then, let me start from the beginning." The man removed the upper half of his bath robe, then turned around, revealing the Celestial Dragon hoof print mark on his back.

"My name is Leo. I am the butler of the Chateau Saint Family, one of the twenty Celestial Dragon families. I was deeply trusted by them; they even handed over the authority to interact with the World Government to me."

"Therefore, I know most of the secrets and information in this world. It's all in my mind." After revealing his Celestial Dragon hoof print, he didn't look at Marigold and Sandersonia, whose expressions had changed. He slowly put on his bath robe and then turned around, his gaze like a sword piercing directly at the woman behind the curtain.

"I don't know how long I drifted at sea, nor how long I slept on Nine Snake Island. So, I want to ask you something to confirm the time."

"Has the current Empress accepted the position of Shichibukai?"

Actually, looking at the expressions of the two guardians standing outside the curtain, Leo already knew the answer.

But he still waited quietly in the still air for the person behind the curtain to answer his question.

His target, from beginning to end, was not the others in this room.

It was the woman who led the entire Nine Snake Pirate Crew and controlled the entire Amazon Lily Kingdom, the Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock.

The air was silent for a moment. No one spoke until the woman behind the curtain calmed her emotions and then slowly asked, "Shichibukai? What is that?"

A smile appeared on his face. Half of his objective had been achieved.

Next, it would depend on how he continued to fool her.

"It is a position that pirates all over the world dream of!"
