The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

"Chomp… chomp…"

At dusk, as the sun dipped below the distant horizon, it painted the sky with beautiful hues of cloud and light—a breathtaking scene.

"Delicious! So delicious!"

On a hill, Peony couldn't stop drooling as she savored a refreshing ice pop, her crescent-shaped eyes brimming with delight.

"Thank you, El-sama!"

In front of her was a large box overflowing with assorted snacks, which she held tightly, as though they were precious treasures.

"If you want more, I can have someone deliver them again," El said with a smile.

Through his mirror communication, he had instructed the Homies on standby to notify Barry—the Mirror-Mirror Fruit courier from Totto Land—to send over some new-world snacks and specialties.

Beside him were more than ten large boxes filled to the brim with treats and delicacies, all prepared specifically for Gloriosa, the Empress of Amazon Lily.

"Who's there, sneaking around?"

Suddenly, several agile, lightly dressed figures dashed toward them.

"Huh? Peony?"

"El-sama?"

The guards of the nation stared in shock at the sight of El and Peony sitting together.

"Relax, I'm just here chatting with her and admiring the sunset," El said with a warm smile.

He had to admit that Gloriosa had an excellent eye for selecting her Royal Guard. The four women were not only competent warriors but also strikingly beautiful. By Amazon Lily's standards, they were among the most exceptional in appearance and skill—not at all like the rough, rugged image some might expect.

Dressed in bold, revealing outfits, their presence was undeniably captivating.

"Sister Littonia, Sister Tulip, Sister Lily, Sister Hibiscus… Do you want some?"

Peony offered snacks to the group while holding her own box tightly.

"What's this?" Littonia, the red-haired leader of the guards, eyed the snacks with a confident gaze. Wearing a leopard-print outfit, she combined elegance with boldness.

"You should keep them for yourself," El said, patting Peony on the head with a smile.

He then grabbed one of the boxes—nearly a meter tall and packed with snacks—and handed it to the guards.

"These are some snacks and specialties I just had sent from the New World. Feel free to try them!"

"Snacks?"

"Specialties from the New World?"

The guards' eyes lit up, but they instinctively looked to Littonia for approval.

"Thank you, El-sama," Littonia said, nodding lightly and maintaining her composed demeanor.

"Thank you so much, El-sama!"

"Let me see… what's this? Potato chips?"

Receiving their leader's permission, the other guards couldn't contain their excitement. Rushing to the box, they dug through its contents, marveling at the colorful array of treats and eagerly sampling them.

"El-sama, are all the men in the outside world as kind as you?" asked Tulip, one of the guards. She stood a remarkable five to six meters tall, her proportions strikingly elegant. As she nibbled on some chips, she looked at El with wide, curious eyes.

"Haha, I wouldn't exactly call myself a good person…" El chuckled. "To countless others, I'm a figure of dread. The Navy even considers me a demon and trembles at the mere mention of my name."

His kindness was reserved for those he considered his own. To his enemies, he offered only terror and destruction.

"Huh? Really?"

Both Peony and the guards were astonished. Tulip, in particular, gazed at El with starry eyes, her admiration growing.

Unlike the members of the Kuja Pirates or the older women of Amazon Lily who had ventured out to bear children, these young guards had spent their entire lives on the island. They were deeply curious about the outside world. Dedicated to rigorous training, they dreamed of someday joining the Kuja Pirates and setting sail with Gloriosa to explore the world beyond their home.

…

Three days later, El returned to the Totto Land Kingdom via the Mirror World, leaving Gloriosa behind. The Amazon Lily Empress watched him depart with great reluctance.

"El, you're back!"

On Atlantis, Gerd greeted him happily. She held two little troublemakers by their black wings as they struggled to escape.

"Waa waa waa…"

"Dada… Dada… Hug… hug!"

El's eldest son and daughter were truly extraordinary, exhibiting behavior far beyond ordinary children. Even compared to giant children, their development was astonishing. Not only could they toddle around, but they had already begun to babble simple words.

The moment they saw El, they wriggled out of Gerd's hands and reached their tiny arms toward their father for hugs.

"You two little rascals, misbehaving again?" El sighed and scooped them up, gently teasing his son and daughter. "You can't be naughty! Behave, okay?"

"El-sama!"

Lillian emerged from the castle at the sound of the commotion, her visibly swollen belly indicating how far along she was in her pregnancy. El nodded to her warmly, smiling before turning to Gerd.

"Where's Linlin?"

"She went out with Afar and a crew to seize a few resource islands in the midsection of the New World, following the early-stage expansion plans," Gerd replied, shooting him a mildly disapproving glance for his hands-off leadership style. Still, she smiled as she answered.

"The Four Calamities of the Fallen Angel Pirates have become truly fearsome," Lillian said with a laugh, settling onto a Bubble Homie.

"They've lived up to their name," El agreed, placing his squirming children onto the Bubble Homie. "Though Linlin and Afar still fall a bit short of my expectations in overall strength, their destructive power certainly qualifies them for the title of 'Calamity.'"

In recent months, Linlin, Cyril Oka, Irma Irene, and Afar—a Lunarian who had eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit—had made names for themselves across the seas. With Afar's diligent training and newfound devil fruit powers, his mastery of Haki and flames had advanced rapidly. He had surpassed other figures, like Little Oars, and become the fourth-strongest member of the Fallen Angel Pirates.

Of course, this didn't include individuals like Francis Bangi, the Barrier-Barrier Fruit user, whose specialized abilities made him nearly invincible under most circumstances.

Countless would-be challengers who thought to cause trouble in Totto Land had been burned to ashes by Afar, earning him the moniker "Scourge of Flame." The World Government had placed a bounty of 500 million berries on his head, securing his place as one of the "Four Calamities" of the Fallen Angel Pirates:

"Storm Calamity" Irene

"Thunder Calamity" Cyril Oka

"Blood Calamity" Charlotte Linlin

"Flame Calamity" Afar

Each led their own fleet and had become notorious figures in the New World. Their ferocity shattered the ambitions of countless reckless pirates who underestimated their strength and paid the ultimate price. Even the Rocks Pirates, despite gaining power during this chaotic era, avoided provoking the Fallen Angel Pirates, now widely regarded as the de facto rulers of the New World.

"Gerd, if you're feeling bored, maybe you could take on a mission yourself," El teased, playfully pinching his children's cheeks. "With your ability to control the weather, you could earn a 'Calamity' title of your own!"

"As for these two little ones, don't worry. We can leave them in someone else's care for now."

Gerd had grown impressively strong. With her new weapon—the Bloodstained Crescent Scythe—and the supreme Homie Hades, along with Zeus, Prometheus, and the sea Homie Umibōzu, she was a near-unstoppable force. Her ability to manipulate the weather elevated her beyond the limits of ordinary giant warriors.

El had no intention of confining her to domestic life. She was no mere ornament, and he wanted her to continue pursuing her goals and dreams of becoming a great warrior.

"Is that so? Hehe…" Gerd's eyes sparkled with excitement at the prospect of adventure.

She didn't want to be confined at home taking care of children all day. She had her own ambitions and dreams—she wanted to become a great warrior!
