Having been branded with the hoof of the Celestial Dragon and enslaved by the Celestial Dragons, Boa Hancock always presents an arrogant and aloof demeanor to everyone. However, whenever the Celestial Dragons are mentioned, she becomes like a wounded kitten, trembling and pitiful, unable to maintain her usual empress-like composure due to the painful memories of the past.
That's why she was absolutely astonished when she saw the news in the newspaper and learned that the Marine Headquarters had become independent.
Even witnessing Rosen crush the strongest creatures on land, sea, and air with overwhelming force through a live global broadcast couldn't compare to the immense shock she felt upon seeing the newspaper news and learning of the Marine Headquarters' independence.
In Boa Hancock's mind, the Celestial Dragons, who held the reins of power over the world, were equivalent to the Celestials of the Grand Line.
No one can resist it; any resistance will only result in utter destruction.
But now, she has discovered that the Marine Headquarters, which is the least likely to rebel against the World Government and is directly under its control, has become independent.
She knew perfectly well what all of this meant.
Arrogance and willfulness are just personality traits; they don't mean Boa Hancock is brainless.
Considering the recent series of events, and with Gloriosa's hints from the side, how could she not know that the root of the Marine Headquarters' independence lay in a man?
Rosen.
slap slap
Just as Boa Hancock's beautiful eyes were glazed over and her face showed a dazed expression, there was a rapid knocking at the door, followed by the persuasion of Sandersonia and Marigold standing guard outside.
"Elder Nyon".
"My sister is still taking a shower!"
"No matter what urgent matter you have, please wait until your sister has finished taking a shower before going in."
Hancock and her companion, who were guarding the door, worked together to hold down the Gloriosa.
"no!"
"Times are changing, and it's been three days already. We can't let this drag on any longer."
"The fate of Amazon Lily, and the future of the Kuja, are all in her hands. Today, the Snake Princess must give me an answer."
Although Gloriosa is old and frail, she is still a graduate of Rocks Pirate Academy and the former emperor of Amazon Lily. Once she gets serious, neither Sandersonia nor Marigold can stop her.
Bang
She unleashed her powerful aura with both hands, instantly shaking off the two sisters who were grabbing her.
Because all the women in Kuja City had been driven away, Gloriosa had no more scruples. After repelling the two sisters, she pushed open the bathroom door and rushed in as if no one else was there.
"The Snake Princess".
You should know why I came here.
"As the emperor of Amazon Lily, I didn't care how willful or reckless you were in the past, but this time is different."
Gloriosa strode over to Boa Hancock, who was lying in the warm water pool:
"That man shows no mercy to pirates."
"Whether you take the Kuja Pirates and leave Amazon Lily, or you use the strength of your entire nation to fight the Marines to the death."
"You all have to make your mark today."
She plopped down on the edge of the warm water pool.
As the former, former, former emperor of Amazon Lily, Gloriosa wasn't there to force Boa Hancock's hand; instead, she simply wanted an answer.
Is it war?
She will not object, but will obey the will of the current Kuja Emperor and fight to the death.
Should we escape?
Then let's set off for the New World together with the Kuja Pirates.
That's all.
"Aren't you annoying, you old woman?"
"You even come to disturb me when I'm taking a bath."
"Who is the emperor, you or I?"
Boa Hancock's pretty face turned cold as her thoughts were interrupted. She grabbed Gloriosa and threw her away like a basketball shot.
"Sister, don't be angry."
"Grandma Niu's actions weren't quite right, but she was doing it for your own good!"
"Moreover, this is no joke."
When Sandersonia saw Gloriosa being thrown out of the window, but landing smoothly with a flip and then about to rush back into the bathroom, she quickly grabbed Gloriosa and spoke up for her.
"Yes, sister."
"Grandma Niu respects you very much. To avoid suspicion, she has already moved out of Kuja City."
"She's just a little impatient, so please don't take it to heart."
Marigold also stepped forward to persuade her, and at the same time, she brought a bathrobe to wrap Boa Hancock's flawless body.
"The Snake Princess".
"Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh, but I don't mean to force you."
"However, you've also heard a little about Rosen's deeds; Kaido and Ochoku are examples."
Gloriosa also softened her tone:
"We are faced with only two choices."
"With the full strength of the nation, we will fight to the death against the Marines."
"Leading the Kuja Pirates, we traveled far away from home."
"Although Amazon Lily is a pirate nation, only the members of the Kuja Pirates can truly be called pirates. If we choose to leave, judging from Rosen's past behavior, he won't make things difficult for non-pirate citizens."
"However, no matter what you choose in the end, I will not oppose you, but will follow you to the death."
"If you want to fight, I'll risk my old life and show you the power of the strongest Marine in history."
"If you want to leave, I will accompany you to the new world. I spent a long time there and can continue to assist you."
Facing the earnest and heartfelt words of the Gloriosa.
Boa Hancock, who had been wearing a cold expression, also thawed.
Although she was proud and willful, she was not cruel or heartless.
Even though she is usually very rude to Gloriosa, she still regards her as the most important family member besides her sisters.
Even the flames have spoken out.
Whether it's a fight to the death or a departure, I will follow you to the very end.
Boa Hancock was also moved.
"Um?"
Just as Boa Hancock was about to tell Gloriosa her thoughts, a red light flashed in her eyes, and she turned to look out the window.
It wasn't just her.
The Gloriosa reacted in the same way at the same time, its red-glowing eyes fixed on the sky.
"Is this really an aura that humans can possess?"
Sensing the sky above Kuja City, Gloriosa was suddenly struck by an incredibly powerful aura, causing her to change color in horror.
Even when she was young and studying at the Rocks Pirate Academy, she had never seen such a terrifying aura.
Even the former world king, Rocks D. Xebec, never possessed such an aura.
"Much stronger than Silvers Rayleigh."
Boa Hancock was also surprised by the intensity of this aura.
Of all the people she had ever met, the strongest was Dark King Rayleigh. However, after comparing Dark King Rayleigh's aura with the aura that suddenly appeared above Amazon Lily, she discovered that the Pirate King's right arm was far inferior to this unfamiliar aura.
While not quite as large as fireflies and the moon, they are at least ten times smaller.
"Could it be?"
Suddenly, Boa Hancock seemed to remember something, and a complex expression appeared on her pretty face.
There was curiosity, anticipation, trepidation, unease, but also excitement and exhilaration.
"It's him."
Gloriosa burst out of the door, flipped over and stood on the top floor of Kuja City, where a Garganta that tore through the sky came into view.
as well as.
A towering figure slowly emerged from the depths of the Garganta.
Although it was their first meeting, Gloriosa had seen this face countless times through newspapers and other channels.
so.
She recognized him at a glance.
Is it finally coming?
"The man who decides the fate of Amazon Lily."
"Rosen."
Gloriosa looked up at Rosen, who stood in the sky, his aged face showing an unprecedented heaviness.
