One Piece: Enslaving a Celestial Dragon and Kidnapping Nami and Robin

"Sincerity?"

Sandersonia froze when she heard the word.

"Lord Sora, what exactly do you mean by sincerity?" she asked, puzzled.

Of course, what he meant was her sister—Pirate Empress, member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Boa Hancock.

That was what Sora thought to himself, though he could only fantasize for now.

Boa Hancock, who possessed Conqueror's Haki and the terrifying compatibility of the Love-Love Fruit, wouldn't be swayed by a mere 1-billion-plus bounty.

After all, in the original timeline, even after losing her Warlord title, Hancock's bounty exceeded his current one. She instantly defeated two of Blackbeard's top commanders. Even Blackbeard himself, one of the Four Emperors, had to rely on his Dark-Dark Fruit's nullification ability just to restrain her—and even then, he didn't dare give her any openings.

That alone spoke volumes about how terrifyingly broken Boa Hancock was, with her beauty and Devil Fruit power combined.

Sora knew he had to be cautious and take things slowly.

Looking at Sandersonia, he finally said aloud, "If you three sisters are willing to help me with one thing, then I'll agree to hand over the flying ship technology."

Sora was determined to make Hancock his. If that meant giving the flight technology to Amazon Lily, so be it.

After all, both Alabasta and Amazon Lily would eventually become his territory—and they would serve him as their king.

"What would you have us do?" Sandersonia asked.

Sora pulled out a piece of paper and a pen from the void and quickly wrote his request in a letter.

It was a simple ask: he wanted Boa Hancock, as one of the Warlords, to join him in the upcoming war at Marineford—to help him hunt down Devil Fruit users from the Whitebeard Pirates.

Of course, if the opportunity arose, he also intended to claim other rare fruits: Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit, Doflamingo's String-String Fruit, and Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit.

Another ability!

Sandersonia was once again stunned as she watched Sora casually pull writing supplies from thin air. Between the air current shielding his flight, the iron restraints used to pin her down earlier, and now the ability to retrieve items from the void…

In just this short time aboard, he had demonstrated three or four entirely different powers.

She was becoming more and more convinced: this man's strength had no bounds.

As she watched Sora quietly write by the railing, something stirred in her chest.

He really was handsome.

Not only was he strong and mysterious, but he had even removed the mark of her slavery...

"I've written my request in this letter."

"Give it to your sister. If she agrees, tell her to wear a white cheongsam that day."

Sora sealed the letter and handed it to her.

The dress request? That was purely self-indulgent.

Sora had no shame in admitting that.

"Hey!"

"What are you zoning out for?"

He tugged her green hair, yanking her face toward his.

"N-Nothing," she stammered, not resisting. Instead, she humbly reached out and took the letter.

At over four meters tall, she could only lower herself and accept it from Sora, who held her hair in his grip.

Tch. She's got some meat on her… shame about the face.

In that position, Sora couldn't help but catch a glimpse of things he wasn't supposed to see.

He wondered what Sandersonia and Marigold would look like if they slimmed down…

With that thought lingering, he let go of her hair and turned to leave.

He still had a beauty waiting for him on the Divine Slave.

Halfway there, Sora stopped abruptly.

A troubling thought crossed his mind.

In the original story, the number of named beautiful characters was finite. If the pirate crew kept leveling up, how would he keep meeting the member quota?

Nine for Level 1. Eighteen for Level 2. Level 3? Twenty-seven. Level 4? Thirty-six. Level 5? Forty-five. What about six or seven?

Compared to emperors with massive harems or corrupt nobles with hundreds of concubines, that number wasn't too high...

But in One Piece canon? That many named beauties might not even exist.

And as for recruiting any rugged men to fill the gaps? Sora scoffed at the thought.

It would betray the very spirit with which he had first entered this world.

Screw it. He'd recruit for numbers—even if just for show.

With that, he grabbed Sandersonia's hair again, pulling her close.

"Tell Marigold that if she slims down and becomes beautiful again, I'll erase her slave mark too."

"And you—you need to become beautiful as well."

"Got that?!"

If they ended up like the transformed Alvida, Sora wouldn't mind adding the other two Boa sisters to his crew.

Having all three Boa sisters? That sounded pretty fun—and it would help hit the headcount.

If they didn't get pretty? Forget it.

Sora wasn't about to lower his standards.

Sandersonia blushed but nodded rapidly.

With that settled, Sora made for the ship's edge.

Then he paused.

"If Hancock doesn't want to accept my offer, that's fine."

"Your secret—I'll keep it."

And with that, he launched into the air, transforming into a bolt of lightning and shooting toward the Divine Slave.

Another ability…

Sandersonia stared in stunned silence. That was the fourth power he'd shown her.

Especially that flash of lightning—it radiated an overwhelming danger.

Then, she remembered his last words.

Strangely, she believed him.

Back aboard the Divine Slave—

Sora landed on deck and instructed Nami to set course for Judge's location.

Then he headed straight for the captain's quarters.

"Master, everything is ready," Anna and Shalria reported respectfully as they stood at the door.

"Well done," Sora said, giving each of them a playful pinch before stepping inside.

Once Aphelandra was added to the crew, he could upgrade the pirate group and unlock new powers.

"Lord Sora… please let me go," came a soft voice.

Aphelandra, tall and innocent-eyed, sat with her hands bound behind her back at the edge of his bed.

Tch. She's tall as hell.

Even kneeling on the carpet, she was still taller than Sora. He couldn't help but marvel.

Sitting beside her, Sora smiled.

"Your ship tried to rob mine earlier, and that really pissed me off."

"If you're willing to join me and become my woman, I'll let your crew go unharmed."

"If not… I'll sink them all to the bottom of the sea."

"Your choice."
