Daiki was somewhat taken aback, he wasn't too surprised. Abona was much older than him and had spent years navigating the Grand Line.

While Abona rarely shared details about his past, encountering familiar faces on the Grand Line or even in the New World was hardly unexpected.

At the port, Abona and Granny Nyon hugged each other and wept. Only they could understand the story that bound them together.

After sharing this emotional reunion, Granny Nyon gently pushed Abona back and, with curiosity in her voice, asked, "Why are you on the Kuja Pirates' ship?"

"Sister Gloriosa, it's a long story. After Captain Tiger's passing, I joined Brother Jinbei to rebuild the Sun Pirates. But five years ago, I was captured by the Marines and became a slave to the Celestial Dragons. It wasn't until a few days ago, when King Anos of Tru Kingdom killed the Celestial Dragons, that I was freed," Abona said openly.

To Granny Nyon, Abona even revealed that Anos had killed a Celestial Dragon a testament to how much he trusted her.

"Killed the Celestial Dragons!!!"

Granny Nyon's face filled with shock. This was far more surprising than encountering Abona.

In this world, the Celestial Dragons had always stood at the pinnacle of authority. Even Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, had once taken a detour rather than confront them directly.

In all her years, Granny Nyon had never heard of anyone killing a Celestial Dragon!

"Is what you're saying true?"

Granny Nyon asked in disbelief.

Abona nodded but then seemed to realize he might have spoken too freely. Such a serious revelation could cause unimaginable ripples.

"Abona, did you consider how you'd explain this to His Majesty?"

While Abona was still grappling with how to reply, Daiki appeared in front of them, his expression grave, fists clenched, and his voice low.

He was prepared to intervene, waiting for an answer.

"Daiki, I…"

Abona stood up, lost for words. He'd been carried away, unintentionally revealing something he wasn't supposed to. Now that it was out, he felt a pang of fear.

Granny Nyon also stood, observing the tense exchange between Abona and the newcomer.

"Abona, who is this?"

Granny Nyon asked calmly.

"Sister Gloriosa, this is Daiki, captain of the Royal Guards of Tru Kingdom and my current companion!" Abona introduced with a smile.

"Abona, don't forget what you promised His Majesty, It's only been a few days, and it seems you've already forgotten. Have you considered the gravity of this matter?" Daiki spoke sternly.

"I'm sorry. It was indeed careless of me this time. I'll personally clarify everything to His Majesty. But I trust Sister Gloriosa, and I hope you can trust her too," Abona explained.

"Let's go! We'll address this matter directly with King Anos."

Granny Nyon surveyed the scene, sensing the seriousness of Abona's words.

She knew this could strain their bond, something she wanted to avoid.

Although Granny Nyon upheld Amazon Lily's traditions more strictly than anyone, she was now willing to break her own rules by inviting two men into the women-only nation.

For Abona, whom she had known for so long, she was willing to make an exception.

Daiki didn't protest. Even if Granny Nyon had refused, he would have found a way onto Amazon Lily.

The news of a Celestial Dragon being killed was monumental.

They made their way across the island, heading towards the palace where Boa Hancock resided.

Although the island wasn't vast, they needed to cross its width to reach their destination.

For the three of them, it wasn't long before they arrived.

Today was an unprecedented event on Amazon Lily. The palace guards looked on in disbelief as Granny Nyon, known for her strict adherence to tradition, walked toward them with a man in tow.

"Lady Gloriosa, what is this…?" one of the female guards stammered, her expression filled with astonishment.

Their surprise was understandable. To them, Granny Nyon was the island's strictest traditionalist.

Seeing her escort a man to the palace was nothing short of shocking.

"Open the gates. We need to speak with Snake Princess," Granny Nyon instructed, leaving no room for questions.

"I'm sorry, Lady Gloriosa, but the Empress has ordered that no one may enter the palace at this time, including you!" the guard replied.
