"What!!"
Reiju's beautiful eyes widened instantly, her stunning face full of shock.
An Admiral… that's the highest military power of the Navy.
An invincible existence!!
And Chris had actually reached that level? How could that be possible?
Yes, Reiju admitted that Chris was strong—very strong.
But she never imagined… he was that strong.
"Chris really is at that level."
Betty glanced at Reiju and said calmly, "Don't be fooled by his young age. He trains so hard, day and night."
"So having that kind of power isn't that unbelievable."
Sweetheart Queen looked toward Chris and smiled, "By the way, I think he's grown taller."
"He used to be 183 cm, but now he's 185. Probably will keep growing after entering the Grand Line."
Baccarat tidied her long red hair, elegantly and nobly saying, "He's only 19, still growing—so it's perfectly normal."
Reiju didn't speak again. Her eyes quietly stared at the man in front of her, filled with admiration.
So young… and already so powerful.
She was genuinely curious about Chris' future, eager to see how far he would go.
The title of Shichibukai (Warlord)… was definitely not his final stop!
Calm Belt – Amazon Lily Port
The sky was an endless blue, clouds drifting like cotton, and the sun shone brightly.
It was a perfect day for setting out.
"Who dared place a cat in my path!?"
Hancock quickly kicked out with her right leg, sending a white cat flying to the side.
A plump woman nearby immediately rushed over, holding the cat, and knelt down apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Lady Snake Princess. I'll be more careful next time!"
Hancock ignored her, her expression cold and proud as she walked gracefully toward the port.
"Lady Hancock, please take me with you on this voyage!!"
"Your Majesty! Please bring me! Waaaah~~"
"Snake Princess! The sea is where women belong! Please take me with you, I beg you!"
"I can still fight! I want to serve the country more! Please don't abandon me, Lady Hancock…"
"Nooo! I want to sail toooo~~"
Gloriosa, the elder, walked up with her cane and said with concern:
"Snake Princess, the Grand Line isn't like the Calm Belt. It's full of dangers. You must be careful."
"Especially the New World—most people there know Haki."
"If you meet a powerful enemy, you must be careful. If needed, you should…"
Before she could finish—
"Silence!"
Hancock coldly glanced at her and snapped, "Gloriosa, are you suggesting I run away from battle?"
"I am a Shichibukai and queen of Amazon Lily. How could I lose to anyone!?"
"You traitor who once abandoned our nation—just stay here and watch over the island. Don't spout such foolishness again!"
She brushed her hair behind her shoulder and strode proudly onto the ship.
Gloriosa almost lost it. "Hancock! You can't always be so arrogant! If you meet someone you can't beat, you must retreat!"
"Don't worry, Granny."
"We'll be careful."
Marygold and Sandersonia said in unison and quickly followed.
Gloriosa shook her head with a weary expression and muttered, "Looks like Hancock still needs to suffer a little…"
"But that's not a bad thing. Once she enters the New World, she'll realize her shortcomings."
"A little setback might actually help her."
Soon, the large ship set sail, slowly leaving the harbor and heading into deeper waters…
Inside the lounge.
"What should I do? I really want to call Chris…"
Hancock sat on Salome, cupping her cheeks with both hands, blushing and murmuring to herself:
"But no, I mustn't. Chris must be busy. I mustn't disturb him..."
Marygold and Sandersonia exchanged helpless glances.
These past two days, Hancock had been like this constantly.
Whether sitting or standing, she'd talk to herself.
And each time—it was always "Chris" this, "Chris" that.
At first, they had no idea what was going on. Later, Granny Gloriosa explained…
Hancock had fallen in love with Chris.
But Amazon Lily was all women—neither of them had ever experienced "love."
So they found Hancock's behavior completely incomprehensible.
"Big Sis, if you want to call him, then just call him."
Marygold smiled and said, "He won't be mad. You're the world's most beautiful woman, after all. He'd definitely forgive you."
Sandersonia nodded in agreement, "Yeah, Big Sis. You're missing him, but he doesn't even know it."
"Why not just call him and tell him we're headed to the Grand Line? Wouldn't that be nice?"
Of course, the real reason they said this—
They both really wanted to see what kind of man could make their sister act like this.
The man named Chris.
