"The Snake Princess".
"You are the emperor of Amazon Lily!"
"How could you do such a thing?"
Gloriosa was furious when she saw that Boa Hancock had put on the collar before Rosen even made a move.
"The Emperor of the Amazon Lily?"
Is that useful?
"Can they fight against the Celestial Dragons?"
Boa Hancock's stunningly beautiful face turned cold, revealing a contemptuous smile.
"you."
Upon hearing this, Gloriosa couldn't help but think of Boa Hancock's background, and then fell silent.
Seeing no hope, Boa Hancock felt fear towards the Celestial Dragons and resistance towards the Marine Headquarters, the direct agency of the World Government.
But seeing hope, and discovering that the Celestial Dragons were not omnipotent, that they could also bow their heads, back down, and be defeated, her thoughts changed.
Especially after Rosen admitted it herself, just as she said.
The Pirate Empress has been captured.
"Rosen."
"No matter what you want to do to me, no matter what you want me to do, I will not refuse you."
"As long as you carry out what you just told me, 'Make the Celestial Dragons submit to the Marine's justice,' to the end, regardless of success or failure, everything I have will be yours."
Boa Hancock ignored the grim-faced Gloriosa and approached Rosen step by step, speaking in an unquestionable tone:
"Kuja Pirates".
"Amazon Lily".
Everything I possess, including myself, belongs to you.
After saying that,
Boa Hancock lowered her knees and knelt before Rosen, pressing her face gently against his legs like a submissive cat.
Faced with the Pirate Empress's embrace, Rosen remained silent.
He has encountered different kinds of Shichibukai.
There is Donquixote Doflamingo, who is a Celestial Dragon.
It includes the world's most powerful swordsman, Dracule Mihawk.
There is Crocodile, the king of the desert.
There is also Gecko Moria, the gatekeeper of the Shichibukai.
Regardless of who they are, all of the Shichibukai are unruly and will choose to fight to the death even if they know they are no match for them.
Only the Pirate Empress.
Without a fight or any means, Boa Hancock willingly put on the collar and indicated that she had been captured.
Even more outrageous, after using his Observation Haki to read Boa Hancock's thoughts and memories, Rosen discovered that Boa Hancock wasn't acting, but was actually playing herself.
The Pirate Empress truly lives up to her words, obeying her every command.
Three things.
"If you do well, I will drop the warrant for your arrest and revoke your title as one of the Shichibukai."
"So that you can become a member of the Marine in the future."
Facing the most complex background among the Shichibukai, and the only one who obeyed him completely, Boa Hancock pondered for a moment before deciding how to settle Boa Hancock, the Kuja Pirates, and Amazon Lily behind them.
He was able to take on the Blackbeard Pirates, led by Marshall D. Teach, as well as Marines like Yamakaji and Deserter King.
In the blink of an eye, the petrified Blackbeard crew officers and the Marine Vice Admiral were present.
This made Marshall D. Teach, who possessed two Devil Fruit abilities, extremely wary, and he could only launch a surprise attack while Boa Hancock was attacking Koby.
Among the Shichibukai, the Pirate Empress's individual combat strength is second only to Dracule Mihawk, no less than Bartholomew Kuma, and perhaps even surpasses him.
If he could go a step further and master the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, he would surely be able to join the ranks of the Emperors.
Secondly, there's the Kuja Pirates.
As members carefully selected from the Kuja Tribe, each of them is proficient in Armament Haki and their combat strength is no less than that of a Captain in the headquarters. If they receive formal training at the Marine academy, they will surely reach an even higher level.
Finally, there's Amazon Lily.
The entire population is a soldier; any woman you pick out is a skilled warrior who can use Armament Haki.
Looking at the whole world, there are few countries that have popularized Armament Haki to this extent as Amazon Lily.
Neither Boa Hancock's personal strength nor the power of Amazon Lily should be underestimated.
Especially after Boa Hancock voluntarily put on the collar, all of this could be used by the Marine.
"I will listen to you."
Boa Hancock agreed without thinking or asking any questions.
She was an extremely arrogant, self-centered, and willful woman.
Once you've made up your mind about something, even if the decision seems absurd or unbelievable to others, you'll stick to it no matter what.
Just like now.
Upon their first meeting, after only a few words, she offered herself, along with Amazon Lily, to Rosen.
To Gloriosa, this was incomprehensible.
To Boa Sandersonia and Marigold, it was incomprehensible.
But Boa Hancock didn't care at all.
"etc."
"Snake Princess, even though you are the emperor of Kuja, you can't just hand over the entire country to the Marine so easily."
Gloriosa simply couldn't stand it anymore.
"Old woman."
"I will only say it once."
"Don't force me to kill you."
Boa Hancock stared coldly at the Gloriosa.
In other words, the person who said this was Gloriosa. If it had been anyone else from the Kuja Tribe, she would have taken immediate action and petrified them on the spot.
"you!"
Gloriosa's expression changed drastically. Just as she was about to speak, she was grabbed by Boa Sandersonia and Marigold beside her.
One person covered their mouth, while the other embraced them.
To avoid Gloriosa saying something that might provoke Boa Hancock in her anger, which could lead to an imperial civil war between Amazon Lily and Rosen instead of a fight between them, which would be disastrous.
What do you want me to do for you?
Even after Gloriosa was "subdued," Boa Hancock remained kneeling before Rosen, looking up at the man before her.
"First, Amazon Lily is located in the Calm Belt and has the ability to hunt Sea Kings. It does not lack the resources for survival. From now on, you must give up your plundering and disband the Kuja Pirates. As for other things, you can use berries to buy them in the outside world or barter them."
"Secondly, the Marine will recruit Amazon Lily. As long as they are outstanding and have military merits, they can be granted corresponding military ranks and benefits. In other words, for the Kuja Tribe, where everyone is a soldier, they will be able to continuously obtain various supplies from the Marine Headquarters, including the transportation of materials, which can be carried out by mobilizing the Marine fleet."
"Third, if the World Government or other Shichibukai try to persuade you to join forces against me, don't hesitate to agree."
Rosen recounted his arrangements for Boa Hancock and even Amazon Lily.
Simply put
He wanted the pirate empress, one of the strongest among the Shichibukai.
He wanted the Kuja Tribe, a nation where everyone was a soldier and everyone possessed Armament Haki.
Rosen wants everything that belongs to Amazon Lily.
By integrating Boa Hancock with the Kuja Tribe, the Marine Headquarters will have an additional combat power second only to the Marine Admirals. At the same time, the problem of recruiting female soldiers will be completely solved, and a time bomb can be planted among the Shichibukai.
It can be detonated whenever needed.
"The Snake Princess".
"You absolutely cannot agree with him."
"If you agree to the Marine Headquarters' recruitment, from now on, Kuja will be the Marine's Kuja, and Amazon Lily will also become the Marine's Amazon Lily."
Upon hearing this, Gloriosa immediately and vehemently objected.
In his view, if all the Kuja Tribe members were Marine personnel, would Amazon Lily still be Amazon Lily of the Kuja Tribe?
no.
It will only be the Marine's Amazon Lily.
Bang
Before Rosen could say anything, Boa Hancock, who had been kneeling in front of him like a docile cat, nestled against his legs, suddenly turned cold, her pretty face covered in frost.
call out
No sooner had Gloriosa finished speaking than a figure shot out from the Perfume Yuda like an arrow, flashing in front of Gloriosa with lightning speed.
Bang
Boa Hancock's right foot swept across the air like a drawn blade, shattering the sound barrier with overwhelming force and sending the Gloriosa flying through the air.
