As Hancock returned from the Central Sea, news of Gorgon's demise spread quickly!
Everyone on Amazon Lily knew.
They saw Hancock as Amazon Lily's strongest Empress!
Only Hancock could lead them to prosperity!
As a pirate nation, Hancock's strength was crucial.
The stronger she was, the more prosperous the nation would be!
Providing better resources for the warriors!
Most importantly, the Amazonian women adored Hancock.
Only Hancock could be their Empress!
As Hancock and her sisters walked towards the palace, the citizens lined the streets, watching Hancock like a hero.
Chanting her name! Marigold, seeing Hancock's radiant face, approached her, "Hancock, you seem different today!"
"Prepare the coronation ceremony. I've killed Gorgon. Prepare a grand feast, and send all warriors to hunt for resources!"
Amazon Lily had no Empress.
The previous Empress almost died in an accident.
She abdicated. Hancock's recent actions made her the rightful Empress!
But Marigold didn't expect Hancock to use imperial authority before the coronation!
Before Marigold finished, Hancock's leg moved, kicking Marigold!
The force sent Marigold flying!
Hancock murmured, "So noisy!"
She told her sisters, "Ryuya will be here soon. It's an important day. Don't be careless!"
Hancock valued this coronation.
She wanted to show her best self to Ryuya!
To secure a prominent place in his heart!
Three days passed. Delicious food and wine filled the palace.
Even the altar was adorned with rare ingredients!
This was Hancock's three-day effort!
During the coronation, they offered sacrifices to the Amazon Lily's snake god.
For good fortune and prosperity!
This was a tradition since Amazon Lily's founding.
Hancock didn't care. Ignoring Marigold's objections, she left the palace.
"Granny, I don't need your interference. Ryuya will be here soon. I must greet him!"
Thinking of seeing Ryuya, Hancock was excited!
Her eyes sparkled, her cheeks flushed.
"But this violates tradition!"
"Tradition? Compared to Ryuya, it's nothing! And I'm so beautiful, they'll forgive me!"
Hancock tilted her head back, pointing forward, looking cute!
Marigold sighed, "I hope Ryuya will protect Amazon Lily for Hancock's sake!"
In the sky, Ryuya, piloting the Noah Ark, arrived above Amazon Lily!
Near Amazon Lily was a Calm Belt, filled with Sea Kings!
The Noah Ark was strong, but lacked Seastone.
To arrive on time, Ryuya used his talisman to lift the Noah Ark into the sky!
"Everyone, that's Amazon Lily. Let's go!"
Ryuya jumped first. Then Kuina, Nami, and Nojiko.
Kuina and Nojiko used Geppo, descending.
Nami used her Devil Fruit ability!
Creating a long slide from the Noah Ark!
Sliding down from the sky. Ryuya had collected much gold for Nami's ability enhancement!
They descended. The Noah Ark remained in the sky, hidden. Cloaks billowed in the sky.
Ryuya descended faster. He saw Hancock. The Pirate World's Empress! He hadn't seen her in a long time!
Ryuya didn't hide his presence. Hancock looked up at Ryuya.
Unable to contain her emotions, she bent her knees, jumping into the air.
Ryuya and Hancock rapidly approached.
Girls develop quickly.
Since their last meeting, Hancock had blossomed into a young woman!
Like a swallow returning to its nest, Hancock opened her arms, hugging Ryuya.
She wasn't her usual haughty self. She exuded a childlike aura.
Hancock couldn't hold back her tears. Tears welled up! Time seemed to stop…
