The Most Beautiful Woman in the World Today

"Hey, there's a ship ahead!"

On the small ship returning from Asuka Island to the New World, Kaido spotted a large vessel ahead of them from the bow. After alerting the other three aboard, none of them reacted.

"It's a pirate ship too, and it's heading this way!"

Seeing the ship turn toward them, he warned them again, but there was still no reaction.

The three lay on the deck, those sunbathing continued sunbathing, while those maintaining their weapons continued maintaining them, until he gave his third warning.

"It looks like a pirate ship from Amazon Lily!"

"Amazon Lily?"

Oak and Rocks shot up from the deck with a rumble, then appeared at the bow at the fastest speed of their lives. Kaido did not even have time to react. All he saw was a blur before two people appeared beside him, one on each side.

"Where? Where? Let me see!"

With a shove, Oak squeezed Kaido aside.

"If it's a ship from the Kuja Pirates, then Shakuyaku must be aboard too!"

Rocks shoved again, directly sending Kaido flying.

"You bastards!"

Kaido climbed to his feet after landing on his backside on the deck, deeply dissatisfied with the two in front of him. But no one paid him any attention. Instead, they craned their necks and stared greedily at the ship opposite them.

"Make some room for me to look!"

Kaido tried to squeeze back in. He wanted to see the women of the Kuja Pirates too, but Newgate appeared behind him at some point without a sound. Murakumogiri "accidentally" tripped him, and Newgate took the opportunity to slip into the spot Kaido had struggled so hard to reclaim.

As the large ship drew closer and closer, Oak saw it more clearly.

Women. They were all women!

His eyes were filled with women covering the entire ship.

Moreover, every one of them was dressed sexily and provocatively, wearing the Kuja Pirates' classic cheongsam style: plunging necklines on top and high slits below.

There was so little fabric that Oak wondered whether Amazon Lily was especially short on cloth. Otherwise, why were their clothes even more revealing than swimsuits? Aside from a few crucial areas, all their skin was exposed to the air. The vast stretches of snowy white nearly blinded him!

Two of the women in particular made Oak especially reluctant to look away.

One was breathtakingly beautiful, with full lips and sharp eyes that nevertheless carried a hint of seduction. Her long, straight black hair made her seem both capable and alluring.

Even less fabric covered her than the others, exposing her breasts and most of her long legs. Oak could almost see her panties. Her tall, graceful figure had curves perfect enough to rival the future Hancock.

The other was just as revealing, with long brown wavy hair. She was tall and slender, with perfect proportions and captivating long legs.

Oak liked both of them so much that he unconsciously raised his head. Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, he impatiently said to Rocks,

"Rocks, let's rob them and take all those women!"

"I'll go around and block their escape route first. You intercept them from the front. Don't let a single one get away!"

Without even waiting for Rocks to respond, he spread his wings and eagerly flew over.

"Robbery! All the women stay behind!"

After landing on the deck, Oak let out an excited roar at the sight of the ship full of pale women. Just as he was about to complete the first job of his pirate career, a long, straight, pale leg kicked him flying.

That pale leg sent him flying with an upward diagonal kick to the chin, causing him to arch backward and shoot straight into the air.

Yet as he flew up, his first thought was neither to fight back nor to stabilize himself. He immediately looked beneath her skirt instead.

"White!"

A breeze lifted the hem of her skirt, revealing a flash of white beneath it. His eyes lit up, and he slammed heavily into the deck with a loud bang.

"Where did this little brat come from!"

Shakuyaku did not care that he had seen something he should not have. Retracting her long leg, she somehow produced a slender ladies' cigarette, lit it with a snap, then blew out a smoke ring and glanced at the brat who had climbed onto her ship and made such outrageous boasts.

"Hehe, I'm not little. Once I take you back, you'll know!"

Oak sprang up from the deck with a sit-up, staring at Shakuyaku as his lecherous eyes roamed over her.

"Not just you. You, them, all of you—I'm taking you all back!"

With difficulty, Oak tore his gaze away from Shakuyaku, then swept it over Gloriosa and the other members of the Kuja Pirates as he made his bold declaration.

"I remember now..."

Shakuyaku gave a faint, seductive smile after hearing that, then leisurely blew another smoke ring.

"You're the brat who just joined Rocks' crew. You seem to be an apprentice too. I heard you came from West Blue?

People from there really are arrogant. You dare to boast about robbing the Kuja Pirates? Who gave a little brat like you that kind of courage!"

Casually tossing her cigarette to the ground, Shakuyaku had been gentle a moment ago, but suddenly turned sharp the next. She kicked at Oak again.

"Of course, Fish Leong gave me the courage!"

This time, Oak reacted quickly. Rather than being kicked, he seized the leg Shakuyaku had kicked toward him. A soft, smooth sensation instantly spread through his entire body.

"Hehe~"

However, he did not get to enjoy that sensation for long before it was interrupted.

"Slap slap slap slap~"

Shakuyaku spun through the air, both feet unleashing a barrage of kicks as dense as raindrops, enveloping his entire body.

"So heavy!"

Kicked again and again by that fierce series of strikes, Oak retreated repeatedly.

From this seemingly delicate woman, he felt an astonishing weight behind every blow.

The women of Amazon Lily were all born warriors. Not only did they possess a complete system for cultivating Haki, every adult warrior could master Haki, and their physiques far surpassed those of ordinary people. This was the unique gift of their warrior race.

But Oak remained utterly unafraid. No matter how strong the warriors of Amazon Lily were, they could not compare to a natural monster like him. Even someone as exceptional among Amazon Lily's warriors as Shakuyaku was not his equal. Thus, he allowed Shakuyaku's attacks to land on him while taking the chance to admire the scenery.

Oak had no idea what the women of Amazon Lily were thinking. They often needed to fight and make large movements, yet they insisted on wearing such revealing clothing. Wasn't that simply giving their enemies a free show?

"White, with peony patterns!"

Before long, he had gotten a perfectly clear look at one of Shakuyaku's garments—clear enough to see every pattern on it.

That finally surprised Shakuyaku. She stopped moving and stared at the brat in disbelief.
