The current queen of Amazon Lily, the newly appointed Shichibukai, and the woman known as the world's most beautiful woman, Boa Hancock, sat languidly and alluringly upon the throne.
The palace had a classical style, with an elegant architectural beauty somewhat reminiscent of ancient Eastern buildings.
On either side of the throne stood two tall women with unmistakable serpentine features, along with female guards armed with spears and clubs.
"Hancock!!"
A short old woman with long, wavy white hair, a flower tucked into the hairline on her left side, and a cane in hand walked steadily out from a corner of the palace hall. Holding up a newspaper she had just obtained, she shouted at Hancock on the throne:
"This is the newspaper I just received today! Something major has happened!"
"—?!"
The two women beside the throne were startled. They had not sensed the white-haired old woman's presence at all, nor had they noticed when she entered the hall!
"Granny Nyon..."
"This is my palace. How did you get in here?"
Hancock raised her eyes slightly and asked coldly.
"Lady Granny Nyon... where did you come in from?"
The female guards belatedly realized what had happened, their faces filled with shock as well.
This unassuming woman had been the queen three generations before the current queen. Despite her advanced age, her status on Amazon Lily was second only to the current queen, Hancock!
Ordinary members of the tribe had to lower their heads in greeting whenever they saw her. They were not allowed to look directly at her!
"I'm everywhere..."
Granny Nyon's expression did not change as she pretended to be profound and showed off.
However, Hancock was far more willful than she imagined. She immediately waved her hand and shouted at the guards beside her:
"Throw her out!!"
