The Amazon Lily Empire:
The Empress of Amazon Lily, who assumed her reign after Gloriosa's abdication, was 18-year-old Kikyu, chosen over Shakky, who refused to reclaim her imperial throne.
Kikyu, despite her young age, was a strong warrior and defender in the Amazon Lily Defense Warriors. That's why she was selected to be the new empress for a land that no longer relied on strong warriors for survival.
Kikyu never thought she would appear in the manga, but there she was, leading the Amazon Lily Defense Warriors in the manga!
This was what she aspired to before becoming empress suddenly!
"Hmm? Are you lost in your thoughts again, Empress?" At that moment, her companion woke her from her daydreams.
Despite becoming the empress, it was just ink on paper and a symbolic position. Everyone knew that the true ruler of Amazon Lily was Rob—just like other kings protected by Rob and the Hunters Guild.
"... It seems the battle between Luffy and the gorgon sisters has become more intense..." The current Empress of Amazon Lily, Kikyu, commented on the manga events after waking up from her daydreams.
She was currently inside the art store, like most women. Empresses from three generations gathered in the art store at that moment: Gloriosa was the eldest, followed by Shakky, and finally, Kikyu, who took the place of the 'Unknown Empress,' the last empress before Hancock.
"That's right, Sonia and Mari seem to be unable to hold on any longer, fufu~" The former empress and current legendary hunter, Shakky, laughed after hearing Kikyu's comment.
"Well, Luffy has become serious, so they can't defeat him." Olivia said before adding with a light sigh and a bright smile, "It's truly a strong battle. My children will be proud of their counterparts in the manga after seeing this…"
Suddenly, the shouts of the readers caught the attention of the store's goddesses and empresses.
"Is he really doing that…!"
"He saved everyone from petrification! Luffy is amazing."
"He even saves his enemies who wanted to kill him…"
"Empress Hancock… she's crying!"
...
..
Olivia, Bella, and the others quickly realized that the upcoming change in events was entirely unexpected.

"One Piece" Events:
—————————
"Don't give him anywhere to escape…!! Yamata No Orochi!!!" Sandersonia surrounded Luffy from all directions, attempting to tighten the noose around him.
"This is their best attack!!!" "No matter how quick he is, he won't get away!!!" Apparently, the audience was familiar with this.
Luffy began preparing for his attack as well: "Gomu Gomu no… Jet Gatling!!!"
His jet-propelled fists destroyed all the attacks close to him.
"KYAAAA!!! HOT!!!" Due to losing balance, Sandersonia fell onto her sister's body, ignited with a fire-like venom, causing her to burn.
"Damn!! Sister Sonia!!!" "Quick move away!!!" "Eh!?" Marigold noticed that she wasn't falling backward and couldn't regain her balance.
"Wait!! I'm getting pulled back!! What!!?"
"I'm getting pulled toward Sonia!!"
"Ahh!!! Our tails!" "When did he!!?" Mari couldn't do anything to grasp the situation, while Sonia continued screaming in pain: "Hot!! It's so hot, help me!!!"
"Wait, sister!! We're going to…!!!"
"AAAAAHH!!" Sonia continued to fall, almost landing on the steel spikes below.
"Sonia!! Look out, the spike pit's there!" "Grab onto the seats!!"
"Haa… Haa…!! Th… That was close…" Sandersonia held onto the other side where the seats were, her burnt back exposed to the audience.
"Hmm?" Luffy noticed that, then jumped with agility and clung to her back.
"…!!! He's trying to finish her!!!"
"That's not fair!!! He's trying to skewer Lady Sonia!!!"
That's what the audience thought.
"You damn man…!!!" Sonia cursed at Luffy, who was clinging to her back.
"Don't move!!!" "Even if you're trying to kill me…!! Haa… Haa… I have no intention of killing you…!!!" said Luffy.
Sonia couldn't believe him and tried to urge her sister to push him away, but Mari strangely refused: "I can't Sonia…!!" Then she added: "Right now, we're… being protected by that man…!!!"
"You don't want anyone to see what's on your back, right? So don't move." Luffy said in a low voice.
At this moment, Hancock stood up and announced: "We're done here!!!" "Before the gorgon's eye is revealed!!! Everyone, leave the Coliseum!!!"
As soon as she announced that, all the women began running outside.
"I was fighting against you… Why are you helping me?" Sonia asked with a melancholic expression.
"What you don't want to be seen has nothing to do with our fight." Luffy's answer was straightforward.
Empress Hancock returned to her seat.
"…!!" At this moment, she cried silently.
•———•———•———•———•———•
"I wonder what's on their backs that they don't want to reveal this intensely…"
"Why do I have this ominous and strangely familiar feeling…"
In Foosha Town, Garp was eager to know what was really happening in this chapter.
"…" Dragon's eyebrows trembled; he had a familiar feeling similar to what his father felt.
"It can't be…"
Suddenly, Dragon's eyes widened, and veins appeared on his forehead. He had a bad premonition after recalling the source of fondness and linking it to Hancock's tears.
Quickly turning the page to the next chapter with a heavy heart.
No one noticed Kuma's vacant gaze at this moment; he already understood what was happening.
…
Marigoa:
"Fufu~ Did the battle end this way?"
"Do enemies become allies just like that?"
"What a terrifying power he possesses… even while deeply asleep, it can still influence people around him unconsciously…"
"As expected from Joy Boy… the liberator of slaves… the bringer of smiles and healer of sorrows and shocks..." The tone was mocking, but a hint of nostalgia from the past could be noticed if one paid attention.
Hearing all those familiar titles from the mouth of their revered leader made the five elders instinctively shudder.
These words were taboo… just saying them by someone else would lead to disappearance from history…
But the person saying them now was the greatest enemy of Joy Boy! And their revered leader… they had neither the power nor the courage to prevent her from saying that.
"He turned an enemy into an ally in this way… this is truly a miracle… he did it spontaneously… without even realizing it." said one of the Gorosei.
"What a strange power…"
"Only 'he' can do that…"
...
..
"Well… maybe the events after this chapter will be something to look forward to…"
At this moment, Imu stood up and began descending the stairs calmly.
The five elders also stood in their places as a gesture of respect.
"We will be facing a new wave of popular anger… be prepared for what's coming."
