"Empress Hancock"
As Magnolia Gorse, the overseer of Kuja City's internal affairs, entered the room, the air grew tense with anticipation. Hancock and her sisters, eager for any new information, awaited her report.
"How did it go?" Hancock asked, her voice commanding.
Gorse bowed slightly before speaking, "Unfortunately, the adults of the Uchiha clan are cautious and tight-lipped, but I managed to gather some information from their children."
Hancock's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Tell me everything!"
"The basic details of their family seem to match what the man, Uchiha Akira, mentioned. There are a few minor discrepancies, but nothing too significant. They come from a place called Konoha Village, which they describe as a ninja village. And they themselves are all ninjas."
"Ninjas?" Hancock and her sisters exchanged confused glances. They had never heard of such a thing.
Suddenly, an elderly voice interrupted, "Ninjas? I've heard that Wanokuni, in the New World, has ninjas." The speaker was none other than Gloriosa known as Granny Nyon, a former empress of Amazon Lily. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Is it possible they came from Wanokuni, Kaido's territory?"
Gorse shook her head. "No, Granny Nyon. They didn't come from Wanokuni. They claim to be from another world entirely."
"What?!" The room erupted with shock. Even Hancock's usually calm demeanor faltered for a moment.
"Another world?!" Hancock's sisters, Marigold and Sandersonia, gasped in disbelief.
"Are you serious, Gorse?" Hancock asked, narrowing her eyes at the woman.
Gorse nodded, her face serious. "I wouldn't dare lie to you, Lady Hancock. That's what I learned from the children, though I can't confirm if it's the truth."
Intrigued, Hancock motioned for Gorse to continue.
"They claim their ninja ranks are divided into three levels: Genin, Chūnin, and Jōnin, based on strength. The leader of their village is called the Hokage. As for the Uchiha clan, they are said to be the guardians of Konoha Village, and Uchiha Akira is regarded as their strongest warrior."
"They call him the 'Sword God' and say he is famous throughout their world for his incredible swordsmanship."
Gorse hesitated for a moment before adding, "Their clan possesses a unique bloodline ability called the Sharingan. It's a special power passed down through their bloodline."
"As for the rest, the information children know is limited, so..."
The room fell silent as Hancock absorbed the information. She waved her hand dismissively. "That will be all for now, Gorse."
As Gorse left, Granny Nyon spoke softly, her voice thoughtful. "Another world... Could it really be true?"
Hancock's eyes gleamed with a mixture of curiosity and calculation. "We will learn more as time passes. If they truly are from another world, and not spies from another force, this could be good news for Amazon Lily."

Meanwhile, in the newly allocated Uchiha clan residence at the northeastern edge of Amazon Lily Island, the Uchiha elders and elite members gathered to discuss their situation.
The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock was very generous and allocated the entire northeastern area of the Island to the Uchiha clan as their residence.
Uchiha Fugaku, the clan head, addressed Akira, curiosity evident in his voice. "Akira, can you tell us more about this world? We've tried asking around, but the locals seem to know very little beyond their own island."
Akira nodded. "This world is vast and filled with powerful individuals. The major powers are roughly divided into three main forces: the World Government, the Four Emperors, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The last two are pirates"
One of the elders raised an eyebrow. "Pirates? Isn't there a group of pirates here, the Kuja Pirates? And didn't you become their deputy leader?"
"Yes," Akira confirmed. "This island belongs to the Kuja Pirates, and their leader is that woman, Boa Hancock. She's known as the 'most beautiful woman in the world,' though her beauty hides her true power."
Several men in the room nodded in agreement. One of them even blushed. "I have to admit, when I saw her, I couldn't help but feel mesmerized. I wondered if I was caught in some kind of illusion."
Akira gave a small, amused smile. "Be careful. Hancock is a Devil Fruit user. Her powers allow her to turn anyone who becomes infatuated with her into stone. If she had used that ability against us during her first attack, about ninety percent of us would have turned into statues."
The room fell silent as the men's faces turned pale with shock. The gravity of Hancock's power sunk in.
Akira continued, "As I said earlier, the three major forces of this world are the World Government, the Four Emperors, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"The World Government is the absolute ruler of this world. At its peak are the Five Elders, who hold Highest Authorities of the World Government. Think of them like the daimyos from our world. In a way, they are like the shadows who control the major nations."
One Uchiha elder raised a hand, looking puzzled. "But in the ninja world, the daimyos are different from the kage. The daimyo is the ruler of a country, while the kage is more like a military leader."
Akira nodded. "In this world, strength is everything. The strongest individuals rise to the top, and the weak must follow. The Five Elders hold power not because they are politically adept but because they command immense strength."
The men in the room murmured among themselves, agreeing that strength should determine leadership.
"The second most powerful force is the Four Emperors," Akira continued. "They are the rulers of the New World, each controlling vast territories. Their power is so great that even the World Government hesitates to act against any one of them."
"Lastly, there are the Seven Warlords of the Sea. These are powerful pirates chosen by the World Government to maintain some balance in the world. They aren't allies or part of a single group. Instead, they operate independently."
"The World Government created the Warlords to curb the increasing number of pirates. In exchange for their title and special privileges, the Warlords must answer the Government's summons and share a portion of their wealth. But aside from that, they can do whatever they like."
Akira paused before concluding, "The woman we encountered, Boa Hancock, is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. That's why she commands so much power."
The Uchiha clan members sat in silence, absorbing all this new information. It was clear now that they had entered a world unlike anything they had ever experienced before.
