Chapter 59: Chapter-59 Controlling The Amazon Lily
Then Sakazuki explained to Zephyr in detail about the Amazon Lily Island, the Kuja pirates, and how they could quickly master Armament Haki.
And there are many suitable islands around the island that can be used for cultivation.
Especially the uninhabied island "Rusukaina" northwest of Amazon Lily Island.
There are 48 seasons a year there, and there are hordes of wild beasts, making the living conditions extremely challenging.
If Luffy can master three-color Haki in two years there, potential soldiers in the Marines can also try it.
"Are you saying that we can train our own soldiers here?" Zephyr touched his chin and thought.
"That's right, and we can also recruit the Kuja pirates, which is a powerful military force!" Sakazuki continued to add.
Amazon Lily Island is inhabited by the "Kuja," a fighting nation composed entirely of women.
Its characteristic is that it has a snake wrapped around its body that can transform into a weapon at will.
They are born warriors and are trained as soldiers. Almost all the people are fighters and have relatively strong combat capabilities.
It is also a good choice to take it under Marine command and act as cannon fodder when necessary.
For example, let the Kuja Pirates specifically find trouble with the Celestial Dragons wandering in the sea to divert the attention of the World Government.
Perhaps in the future, Hancock can be ordered to lead this group of female pirates to the Sabaody Archipelago to guard against the Celestial Dragons who come down from Mary Joa.
"Hancock! Are you awake?"
After Sakazuki and Zephyr discussed it, Hancock looked at the bow of the ship and glared at Saint Roswald and shouted sharply.
"Akainu! What do you Marines want to do?"
Hancock's face looked complicated at this time.
This man, who was the second person besides Luffy to know her secret, dared to abuse the Celestial Dragons like this.
This is much more serious than Luffy fighting the Celestial Dragons alone.
Hancock's mentality couldn't help but undergo a 180-degree change.
"Can't you see? Of course, I'm helping you kill your enemy!"
"I can allow you to take this Celestial Dragon to your ship, then wake up all your crew members who are still alive, and ask them to kill this pig with you!"
Sakazuki followed suit, and his demonic and bewitching whispers gently sounded in Hancock's ears.
"Wha...what? Why?"
Hancock looked at Sakazuki with blank eyes.
"Stop talking nonsense! Just do what you think in your heart! Otherwise, your sister and the crew will all die!"
Sakazuki pointed at the two Boa sisters who were beaten down by Enel and said unceremoniously.
Hancock was filled with a mixture of anger, fear, doubt, and hesitation.
She picked up the unconscious Celestial Dragon and returned to the pirate ship.
She ordered the two Boa sisters, who also looked frightened, to call up the entire crew and prepare to cut the body of Saint Roswald together.
Your secret must never be known to more people!
Damn Celestial Dragons, let me die!
Hancock was like a maniac and kept stomping on Saint Roswald with the soles of her high heels.
During this period, Sakazuki made a gesture to Enel above the pirate ship.
Enel instantly took out the video Transponder Snail and completely recorded the brutal murder process.
After all the broken corpses were thrown into the sea, Hancock fell limply to the ground.
Sometimes she cried in pain, and sometimes she smiled.
After a while, Hancock wiped away her tears and stood up again.
Looking at the bright moon on the sea, she was stunned and speechless for a long time.
Silence is the best way to express it.
She had never felt so good.
Even when she first learned that Luffy had beaten the Celestial Dragon, she was only excited for a while.
But now her mind seemed to be liberated.
The darkness suppressed in the deepest part of her heart seemed to be getting lighter.
The pain that penetrates deep into the bone marrow—the only way to escape it is through violence!
"Now that you've taken revenge, it's time to talk about what your Kingdom should pay for in the future, right?"
At some point, Sakazuki appeared next to Hancock again, forcibly waking her up from silence.
"Why is the Kingdom involved? I can be willing to obey Marine's orders."
Hancock no longer had any burdens and worries at this time.
Even the thought of Luffy, who had been obsessed with her before, gradually faded away.
Even if the Marines asked her to fight the Four Emperors now, Hancock felt it wouldn't matter.
Without her, Granny Nyon and her two younger sisters could continue managing the Amazon Lily Kingdom.
This was a scenario Sakazuki was pleased to see, but he wanted more than just that.
"Oh? You think too highly of yourself! Look at the sky first!"
Hancock raised her head in confusion and saw Enel dragging a curtain. A video was being projected on it, showing a harrowing scene. It ended with the Kuja Pirates' crew dumping Saint Rosward's corpse into the sea.
"You...!" Hancock was shocked and furious, but she found herself helpless.
Now the entire Kuja clan was irreversibly entangled in the death of a Celestial Dragon.
Even if the Kuja Pirates surrendered to the World Government, there would be no way for them to escape the consequences.
"There is an unofficial agreement here. If you give this to your former emperor, Granny Nyon, she will know what to do." Sakazuki pulled out a pamphlet and handed it to Hancock.
Granny Nyon, the former ruler of Amazon Lily, now served as a trusted advisor. She possessed wisdom, strategic insight, and the experience of a seasoned leader.
Despite her age, she retained the strength and skills of a Kuja warrior. In the past, she subdued Luffy effortlessly and remained steadfast even after being thrown from a window by Hancock.
"Stop using the Shichibukai's transponder snail!"
"Also, tomorrow, you will renounce the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"The Kuja Pirates are forbidden from looting in the future. Instead, you will be tasked with regularly eliminating a certain number of pirates. The specifics are detailed in the agreement. Black Arm Zephyr will coordinate with you."
Sakazuki handed Hancock a new transponder snail. As Hancock took it with her charred hands, Sakazuki couldn't help but feel like he had become a distributor of snails and would need to invest heavily in them in the future.
After hearing Sakazuki's instructions, Hancock realized how serious the situation was. Even with her typically brash demeanor, she knew she couldn't handle this alone. She needed Granny Nyon's guidance.
Sakazuki, observing Hancock's troubled expression, smirked inwardly.
He had secured another desperate ally. From now on, whether it was against the Four Emperors or the World Government, she would charge ahead on his behalf.
