Amazon Lily is one of the countless small islands in the world of One Piece.
The Amazon Lily Kingdom, located on this island, is more like a small town than a country.
However, because the country's successive empresses have been among the strongest women on the seas, all members of the Kuja Pirates are Haki users, and it is an all-female nation located in the Calm Belt, the Amazon Lily Kingdom, despite being a small place, is still very famous throughout the world—a dream sanctuary that countless men yearn for.
Today, a man quietly arrived on Amazon Lily.
Yami, who had decided to turn Amazon Lily into his backyard, had located the island long ago.
It was only because he hadn't found Trafalgar Law and didn't want to resort to brute force that Yami had delayed his visit.
Now that he had acquired the Op-Op Fruit, Yami came to Amazon Lily at the first opportunity, preparing to win over the world's most beautiful woman, Hancock, and take control of the Amazon Lily Kingdom.
As a transmigrator, Yami was well aware of Hancock's weakness: her fear of people seeing the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon on her back.
The reason Hancock was so afraid of people seeing the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon was that the brand represented her status as a slave and an inferior person.
She was afraid that if her subjects discovered she had been a slave, they would depose her and exile her from the Amazon Lily Kingdom.
She was also afraid that if the world knew the Kuja Empress was actually a slave, it would tarnish her country's reputation.
The more she thought about it, the more afraid Hancock became, forcing her to use the image of an arrogant, unreasonable, and domineering tyrant to hide her inner insecurity.
As long as Yami helped Hancock remove the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon, he could easily win the affection of the world's most beautiful woman.
Because removing the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon was equivalent to defusing a ticking time bomb for her, allowing the Pirate Empress to finally have the courage to step out of the shadows, say goodbye to her past, and embrace a new life.
At that time, the will of this Pirate Empress, who had awakened Conqueror's Haki despite once being a slave, might undergo a sublimation, causing her strength to soar.
Yami, who would have granted her a new life, would become the great benefactor of the three Hancock sisters.
Teleporting to Amazon Lily, Yami did not head straight for the palace.
He first opened an air door, stepped into the alternate dimension, and then teleported into the palace from there.
Wandering through the alternate dimension within the palace, Yami used his Clairvoyance and X-ray Vision to successfully locate Hancock.
She was taking an afternoon nap in her private chambers.
Looking at Hancock's sleeping posture, even though his vision only showed her body in green, Yami still felt his heart begin to race.
This feeling was not unfamiliar to Yami.
He felt the same way whenever Carina entered her Tamamo-no-Mae form, and with Nami and the other girls.
But Carina's charm was not as intense as Hancock's.
Because Carina only had a foxy temperament, it was only after putting on the Miko outfit Yami made for her that a hint of holiness was added.
Hancock, on the other hand, was different. Her sleeping posture alone was full of allure and temptation, yet her sleeping face was as innocent as a little girl's, completely devoid of the coldness and arrogance she displayed when awake.
When a peerless beauty possessed so many different qualities, her every frown and smile would make a man want to protect her, or have thoughts of bullying and possessing her.
The moment he saw Hancock, Yami was certain of one thing.
That was... he couldn't resist Hancock's petrification.
It couldn't be helped; he was a lecher, after all.
Since he couldn't resist Hancock's petrification, he couldn't face her directly before winning her affection, lest he be sneak-attacked by her Love-Love Beam.
Therefore, Yami had to take an unconventional path.
Soon, a flash of inspiration struck Yami, and he immediately thought of a suitable approach.
And so, Yami took another look at Hancock's sleeping form, a slight smile playing on his lips as he teleported away.
Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, it was dusk.
"Sonia, Mari."
Hancock, having woken up from her beauty sleep, called out to her two younger sisters.
"Your Majesty."
Hearing Hancock's voice, Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold, both over four meters tall, immediately walked in from outside and said respectfully.
"I wish to bathe. Go and prepare."
Hancock stretched lazily. The Pirate Empress, who had looked so innocent and cute while sleeping, had instantly transformed into a cool and aloof beauty.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Sandersonia and Marigold nodded obediently, then left the room to give orders to the Kuja warriors, setting up a protective formation to surround the palace.
Seeing this scene, Yami, who had been wandering through the alternate dimension within the palace using his X-ray Vision to look for any high-level Haki manuals, immediately teleported away.
When Yami reappeared, he was standing on the peak of a mountain with a sign that read "Kuja."
Opening an air door, Yami stepped out of the alternate dimension and used his Clairvoyance and X-ray Vision to watch Hancock as she headed to the bathhouse.
Thanks to his X-ray Vision, the peerless beauty's impressive figure was laid bare before Yami's eyes.
That heart-fluttering feeling surged once again.
Yami had thought Robin was well-endowed, but compared to Hancock, Robin was just a little bit behind.
Quickly composing himself, Yami watched as Hancock entered the bathhouse, had her two sisters stand guard outside, and then slowly removed her qipao and stepped into the bath. He knew his chance had come.
And so, Yami's body was enveloped in darkness as he teleported and vanished.
The next second, as Hancock was playing with the water in the bath, a voice sounded by her ear, causing her expression to change drastically.
"I thought there was a real Gorgon curse, but it turns out the so-called 'petrifying eyes' are actually the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon!"
"To think the world's most beautiful woman is a slave of the Celestial Dragons. What big news!"
The voice, filled with both wonder and mockery, reached Hancock's ears, causing her delicate body to tremble uncontrollably and a look of fear to appear in her eyes.
At this moment, Hancock couldn't care less about why a man was here, nor that her body had been seen by him. She was about to turn towards the source of the voice and use her Love-Love Beam to petrify him.
"Dark Water!"
At that moment, a gravitational force, like an invisible hand, pulled Hancock out of the bath, sending her flying backward.
In less than a second, Hancock found her neck being grabbed by a powerful hand.
What terrified her even more was that the moment her neck was grabbed, her Devil Fruit ability vanished.
"ROOM—Heart Extraction!"
At the same time, the man's voice rang out again.
Within Hancock's Observation Haki's perception, a transparent light shield instantly enveloped the entire bathhouse.
Immediately after, a heart, encased in a cube, flew out from within Hancock's body.
