Many of the Amazon Lily warriors present couldn’t help but be moved by Gen’s words.
On one hand, it was out of sympathy, and on the other, they had all seen the power of the Uchiha Clan.
The three strongest women of Amazon Lily, including their Empress, the Snake Princess, had actually lost to the opponent.
They could have clearly occupied this place by force, yet the opponent used such gentle means and only wanted to cooperate, which made Gen’s words seem even more sincere.
Furthermore, the emotions shown by the Uchiha members didn’t seem fake.
They had men, women, young, and old; the truly young and strong men accounted for less than a quarter.
Of course, the truly decisive reason was that the performance of Gen’s trio had conquered the warriors of Amazon Lily.
Amazon Lily was a nation of warriors where strength was beauty, and in their eyes, Gen was now the most beautiful man.
If the occasion hadn’t forbidden it, they would have wanted to kidnap Gen back to their homes to have children right then and there.
With such a powerful man, the children born would surely be incredibly strong.
Although Hancock didn’t fully believe Gen’s words, she couldn’t say much at this moment.
The opponent’s strength had exceeded her expectations.
If she turned against them now, the entire Amazon Lily wouldn’t gain any advantage; in fact, it could lead to a crisis concerning the very survival of Amazon Lily.
“The duel ends here!
Enishida, take the Uchiha Clan to rest.”
“Yes!” Enishida was the internal affairs minister of Kuja City and was usually responsible for managing the city’s miscellaneous affairs.
“You, follow me into Kuja City.”
Hancock glared fiercely at Gen, then turned and walked toward Kuja City.
Soon, Gen followed Hancock into Kuja City.
Upon arriving at the bedroom in the castle, Hancock’s pet snake transformed into a chair, and the Empress sat directly upon it.
The Pirate Empress’s two younger sisters stood by her side.
“Tell me, what is your real purpose for coming here?
Don’t give me that nonsense you just said.
I am no ignorant young girl.”
Hearing Hancock’s words, Gen smiled.
“Most of what I said just now is true, but I indeed have another purpose.
My true goal is actually very simple: to grow the Uchiha Clan.”
“Amazon Lily is a very good place. This story is hosted at g.com.
It is located in the Calm Belt, where few people disturb it, making it the most suitable for peaceful development.”
“Furthermore, it has a complete ecosystem.
My family has just migrated in its entirety, so having such a peaceful place to grow is perfect.”
“Actually, you don’t need to worry too much about us.
If we wanted to seize this island, we could have done so long ago.”
“Our clan are not pirates; we don’t like to plunder.
Our way of life as Ninjas is cooperation.
Employers pay money to commission missions, and we collect the reward after completing them.”
“However, because our Uchiha Clan held a somewhat awkward position in the Village, the higher-ups mainly assigned us to guard the Village, which is quite similar to your Kuja Warriors.”
“Besides, taking this island by force wouldn’t bring much benefit to my family.
On the contrary, peaceful coexistence is beneficial to both of us.”
“If my clan settles on this island and it faces an invasion by enemies, our clan will definitely take action.”
“Although Amazon Lily is located in the Calm Belt and is relatively safe, to truly powerful forces, there is actually no difference between the Calm Belt and the regular seas, is there?”
Hearing Gen’s words, Hancock couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Indeed, just as he said, the Calm Belt was only relatively safe.
The World Government had long since developed technology that allowed ships to safely cross the Calm Belt.
Although pirates didn’t possess this technology, they could steal it from the Marines.
As far as she knew, the emperors in the New World could all cross the Calm Belt safely.
Although she was currently one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who was to say the World Government wouldn’t go back on their word one day?
It wasn’t impossible for them to strip her of the Seven Warlords of the Sea title.
When that time came, the risks faced by Amazon Lily would be even greater than they were now.
She had to prepare in advance, and the best way was to take this force for her own use.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
“Agree to it!”
An old woman leaning on a staff shaped like a snake walked in.
“Old hag, what are you doing here?!”
Marigold and Sandersonia both looked at Elder Nyon in surprise.
“After all, this is a matter of life and death for Amazon Lily.
This old body still needs to show some concern.”
Hancock’s face instantly soured when she saw Elder Nyon.
This old woman was always making a fuss and liked to boss her around.
She was the Pirate Empress; with her pride, how could she tolerate this?
“How annoying!!
Who do you think you are?
Your era ended long ago, Gloriosa, the emperor of Amazon Lily from three generations ago!!”
“Even if the nation’s downfall is caused by me, everyone will forgive me!
The reason is…
that’s right, because I am…
too beautiful!!”
As Hancock said this, she struck her signature pose of looking down on others by tilting her head all the way back.
Gen couldn’t help but chuckle upon seeing this.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing, I just find the way you look down on people very amusing.”
He used to find it strange when watching Pirate King, but seeing it with his own eyes, he found it highly entertaining.
“Amusing?”
Hearing Gen say this, and seeing his smile, Hancock didn’t find it amusing at all.
She also lost the mood to continue arguing with Elder Nyon.
If she kept going, she felt like she would just be made a laughingstock.
Hancock turned around and sat back down on her snake throne.
“I can agree to take in your Uchiha Clan, but we don’t harbor freeloaders in Amazon Lily.
You and your clan must join my command!”
“Sure.”
