The sun was high in the sky, casting shimmering reflections on the endless ocean. The Marine warship sailed steadily toward its destination—Amazon Lily, the island of women.
Luffy leaned lazily against the railing, arms crossed behind his head as he was messing with the system panel.

Luffy had amassed a fortune so obscene that even the Marines would grit their teeth, billions of bellies, plundered from the scum of the seas and even stolen straight from the World Government's coffers when he brazenly attacked a ship carrying the Heavenly Tribute.
His audacity knew no bounds, and his pockets ran deeper than the Grand Line itself.
But wealth alone wasn't enough—Luffy wanted power. True, unrivaled, world-shaking power. And so, he spent his hard-stolen fortune recklessly, pouring mountains of gold and treasure into a gacha system crueler than fate itself. He had used over 50 high-stakes draws, burning through both the highest-tier and mid-tier chances like a madman at a casino.
And what did he get for his near-bottomless spending spree?
Five abilities.
Just five.
The drop rates were very low, a cruel joke played by the universe.
It was like squeezing blood from a stone, wringing hope from despair, or begging a miser for charity.
He could only rely on his luck.
Around him, the sailors murmured nervously.
Despite their training, the idea of sailing so close to an island where men were forbidden filled them with a mix of excitement and terror.
"We're really going to Amazon Lily…" One whispered.
"The land where no men are allowed to step foot…" Another muttered.
"Shame we have to wait outside," A third sighed wistfully.
Luffy shook his head as he closed the system panel and smirked at their words, already expecting their reactions. He knew very well that if even one of them tried sneaking onto the island, they'd be instantly cut down by the Kuja warriors.
"Don't get any stupid ideas," He warned, stretching his arms.
One sailor laughed nervously. "W-We wouldn't dare, Rear Admiral!"
Luffy shook his head. "Sure, sure…"
SPLASH!
At the next moment, a massive shadow loomed over the water.
A Sea King—towering over the warship—emerged from the ocean, its scales gleaming like dark steel. Its enormous jaws parted, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth.
The Marines froze.
"W-What the hell?! A Sea King?!"
"Battle stations! We need to—!"
Before anyone could react, Kuina stepped forward. She barely even hesitated.
A gust of wind blew past her as she unsheathed her katana in a flash.
Shiiing!
BOOM!
The Sea King's massive head was severed from its body, the impact sending shockwaves through the ocean.
For a few seconds, there was complete silence.
The sailors could barely comprehend what had just happened.
"…W-What?"
"T-The thing just… died?"
They hadn't even seen the attack!
Only Luffy and Zoro, completely unfazed, exchanged a knowing glance.
Zoro smirked. "Not bad."
Luffy chuckled. "You didn't even need to flex, you know."
Kuina flicked the blood off her blade before gracefully sheathing it back into its scabbard. Her expression was calm, as if she had merely swatted away a fly.
"I was just getting warmed up," She teased, looking at Luffy.
Luffy grinned. "Show off."
She smirked back.
The sailors, still trying to process the sheer speed of her attack, stared at her in utter disbelief.
"H-How strong is she…?"
"This... is this the power of a Rear Admiral Kuina…?"
They had always known Kuina was strong, but to one-shot a massive Sea King like that…?
They were still recovering from their shock when another ship appeared in the distance.
A sleek galleon covered in golden serpent motifs cut smoothly through the waves, its sails adorned with the insignia of the Kuja Pirates.
The moment it came into view, the atmosphere shifted.
The Kuja warriors—clad in exotic, revealing battle outfits—stood at the edge of their ship, weapons ready. Their expressions were steely, their presence radiating deadly beauty.
And at the front of the ship, a woman stood tall, her presence commanding the very air around her.
She was Boa Hancock, the infamous Pirate Empress—the most beautiful woman in the world.
Her long, silky black hair cascaded down her back, framing a face so flawless it seemed unreal. Her violet eyes—sharp yet alluring—glowed with an undeniable charm, enhanced by long, delicate lashes. Her lips were full, seductive, and slightly parted, as if she were always moments away from uttering a spellbinding whisper.
She wore an elegant red qipao, its fabric hugging every curve of her voluptuous body. The high slit of her dress exposed long, sculpted legs, and with every step she took, the fabric shifted, teasing glimpses of her smooth, flawless skin.
Her figure was breathtaking—a narrow waist, ample bosom, and hips that swayed with an almost hypnotic rhythm.
A golden serpent earring dangled from her ears, gleaming under the sun as if whispering her divinity to the world.
The moment she appeared, the Marine sailors collapsed to their knees.
Some clutched their chests as if struck by lightning. Others froze, faces red, mouths hanging open in dumbstruck awe.
"S-She's… g-gorgeous…"
"I… I can't breathe…"
"S-So… beautiful…"
Even some of the Kuja warriors smirked at the sight, amused by the predictable reaction of men.
Luffy, meanwhile, let out a deep sigh.
Even he felt his body reacting—a sudden rush of heat, an instinctive pull toward the woman before him.
He clicked his tongue.
Damn it… Her ability is seriously unfair.
It wasn't even her Devil Fruit—it was just her.
Boa Hancock didn't just walk onto the ship—she glided. Her gaze, however, ignored everyone else. She made a beeline straight for Luffy.
"Luffy~♥!" She called out in an almost sing-song voice.
And before anyone could react, she jumped onto the warship and, with a graceful twirl, landed right in front of him.
Her smile was radiant, genuine, and full of affection.
"How wonderful it is to see you again!" She beamed.
The entire ship went silent.
Every Marine onboard looked like they'd been turned to stone—though not in the literal sense.
They stared in absolute disbelief.
"…Did… did she just…greet him first?!"
"S-She ignored EVERYONE ELSE…?!"
"Th-This is a dream… I must be dreaming…!"
Luffy's eye twitched.
Oi, oi, oi… What the hell is this woman doing?
He had expected a dramatic entrance, but this?
He sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yo, Hancock. Been a while, huh?"
Her violet eyes sparkled. "It has! I have longed for this moment ever since that day!"
