Ray calmly descended from the sky towards the ship. He has to say that the person in front of him was not showing any emotions on his face even if he knew that this might be his last drink in this world.

A chair formed at the same level as the person in the sky which made the swordsman eyed widened before he calmed himself. He was still sipping his wine without any worry as if nothing interesting is happening in front of him.

Ray sat on the chair while putting his right leg on the left while he put his chin on the palm of his which was on the chair. WIth amusement in his voice, he spoke.

"What could be the strongest Swordsman in the world would be doing here in the weakest sea?"

The Swordsman took a sip from the wine before he looked into the eyes Ray without showing any emotions. With a sharp voice, he spoke.

"I could ask you the same"

Ray chuckled a little at his question before he calmed himself down.'He is a man of a few words all right.' With a small smile on his face, he spoke again.

"I'm Ray, a new fellow who has started his adventures from here"

The swordsman narrowed his eyes in confusion before he took a sip from the glass. He looked at Ray for some seconds before a smirk appeared on his face and he spoke again.

"You should already know my name, Ray"

Ray looked at the man in front of him with pure amusement in his eyes. This guy was thinking of himself as one of the top dogs of this world however he is nothing compared to other worlds.

'Wait, he had experienced everything this world has to offer, so I can't call him a frog in the well.'

Ray shook his head slightly before he looked at Mihawk appearance which was very same as the one shown in Anime. His eyes looked at his whole body.

He is a tall lean man with black hair, a short beard, moustache and sideburns that point upwards. His nickname comes from his strangely coloured yellow eyes, which resemble a hawk's eyes.

He wears black and red ornate clothing with a crucifix pendant that hides a little dagger, which gives him the appearance of a Spanish swordsman. His attire consists of a wide-brimmed black hat decorated with a large plume, and a long, open black coat with no shirt underneath, with red, flower-patterned sleeves and collar.

He wears light purple pants held up by a decorated belt and tucked inside overly large boots in comparison to his leg size. He wears a katana around his neck, appearing as a golden cross-shaped necklace, and carries his sword Yoru on his back when he is not using it.

"What could be so interesting here that has piqued your attention, Mihawk?"

Ray asked curiously while raising his eyebrows for the dramatic effect.'I already knew the reason so it is kinda boring asking him these things.'

"A prey of mine has come here, I was bored so here I am"

Mihawk replied, sipping his wine slowly. He was enjoying the chase game as he had nothing better to do.

"Hmmm, I have an offer for you"

Ray spoke grinning while he looked into the eyes of Mihawk.'He should not have any problem accepting the offer of mine.'

"Not interested"

Mihawk replied immediately without any emotion on his face. He was not even bothered by the fact that he had rejected an offer without even listening to it.'Everyone seems to give me some kind of offers even that Big Mom.'

Ray smiled vanished instantly when he heard the nonchalant reply from him. He took a deep breath to calm himself before he spoke in a cold voice, surprising Mihawk a little.

"I want you to join my faction, just like you have joined the Marines"

Mihawk who was sipping his wine calmly suddenly felt an ominous aura from Ray. He looked towards him only to see an illusion of an abyss with one eye which was looking at him. He immediately felt a shiver before he removed his gaze from the abyss. "What was that?'

" Why are you so adamant about recruiting me anyway?"

Mihawk asked with curiosity in his voice as he sipped his wine.'No strong guy would want a subordinate who would insult them that's why everyone left me alone.'

"You are worthy to be part of my faction, Dracule Mihawk"

Ray spoke seriously as a wave of Conqueror haki washed over Mihawk who looked very surprised.

'Now he would accept my offer. The people here have some kind of fetish towards Conqueror haki.'He mused with amusement in his eyes.

"Tell me your offer, Ray. Let me check whether it's good or not"

Mihawk spoke with respect in his voice as he looked at Ray.'To have such control over Conquerer haki and that too at such young age, incredible.'

Ray noticed the change of tone in his voice which made him smile a little before he spoke the offer to him.

"I would give you training resources which would help you to break your limits, in return, you would work for me"

Mihawk looked at him for some moments before he smirked a little in pride. Filling up another glass of wine, he spoke in a proud voice.

"I have reached the peak in the way of the swords. What could you even help me with?"

Ray looked at him with an emotionless face before he started to laugh loudly. Mihawk looked at him with confusion in his eyes. After some minutes of laughing loudly, he finally spoke with a teasing smile.

"You think that you have reached the peak in the way of swords with this measly strength of yours"

Mihawk looked at him with a frowning gaze before he put the glass of wine in the corner of the ship. He stood up from his place with a serious expression while the aura around him also changed. He spoke in a cold voice.

"let's exchange a single strike and see whether you are speaking the truth or not"

"Very well, Let's do this"

Ray spoke in an exciting tone while a sword appeared in his hand. Mihawk also took out his sword from the back of his. Mihawk narrowed his eyes when he saw the blade which appeared in the hand Ray.

A Western-looking sword, Yoru is a cruciform and well-ornated weapon with a curved, single-edged, black blade—resembling an oversized kriegmesser. It has a total length of well over two meters.

Ray blade was completely normal as it didn't have any design on it. It looked like a cheap sword that could be found everywhere in this world. In nutshell, it was a local sword that was going against one of the 12th Supreme swords. This was a sign of clear disrespect for the world strongest swordsmen.

Mihawk looked into the eyes of Ray with a serious expression while the latter looking at him with amusement. Mihawk sword suddenly started to shine before a black aura wrapped around the sword.

Ray was quite impressed at this aa he could guess that this was somewhat similar to Conquerer haki which people wrapped around their weapons to attack.'Maybe he has Conqueror haki?'

They both swung their swords at the same time, creating two energy attacks that met each other head-on. Ray energy attack easily cut through the attack of Mihawk who was looking at the scene with wide eyes.

The energy attack of Ray disappeared when it was about to reach the chest of Mihawk who was standing there in clear shock. The sky over them had been divided into two parts while a huge wind blew everywhere.

"I lost"

Mihawk spoke shockingly as he looked in his palms. He could feel that he was about to die there however he was saved by Ray. A smirk appeared on his face, he looked at Ray with visible excitement.

"I'm ready to join your faction, Ray"

Ray didn't speak anything instead he raised his hand in the air to snap his fingers. Everything returned to normal just like it was before they clashed with each other. Ray sword disappeared from his hand while Mihawk put his sword back in its place.

A wristband appeared in the palms Ray before he threw it towards Mihawk who caught it easily. The wristband was completely blue with a logo of "R" on it.

Mihawk immediately put it on his right hand as a sign of respect towards the person who was able to defeat him so easily.'To think I would be defeated in the weakest sea by someone unknown.'

"The band would help you in your training, Mihawk"

Ray spoke pointing at the band which was now in his right hand. Though Mihawk looked quite confused as he was not aware of how he could use the band. Ray seeing his confusion just smiled and spoke.

"It would do its work by itself so don't worry about it"

The moment Ray spoke about it, Mihawk suddenly felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders which shook his entire body before he managed to control his body. He could tell that the pressure was making it hard for him to use his body however it was also helping him in some way to become strong.

"I hope you would not harm anyone of Amazon Empire"

Ray spoke in an authoritative tone while his eyes flashed for a second. Mihawk nodded at him as he does not have kind of bad moments with that particular pirate group.

"Very well then I would be going. Just remember I would be watching you always"

Ray spoke smiling as his expressions completely changed.'I need to see my girl as well.'

Mihawk didn't speak instead he sat on his chair again and took the glass of wine. He looked at the figure of Ray who started to float higher in the sky while his chair disappeared. Ray suddenly shouted from the above before he vanished from the place.

"Remember, A blade is a part of the body and the body is also a part of the blade"

Mihawk started to whisper the words which Ray had spoken from the sky. He could not understand what that guy wanted to tell him. After pondering for a while his eyes finally showed an excited look. With a small smile on his face, he spoke.

"To think there is something beyond in the way of the sword"

"I can finally surpass myself without having me to look for a worthy opponent"

Mihawk mumbled to himself with a smirk at the prospect of surpassing his limits.'To think I would meet someone so powerful here.'

Mihawk shook his head before he looked into the sky where Ray was standing some time ago.'To have so many abilities, he is someone who would cause storms in this era. No one would be able to stop him.'

"Let us meet again when the world would be in turmoil"

Mihawk spoke smirking before he started to drink his wine while remembering the words of Ray. 'At such a young he is so wise.' Suddenly his entire body shook before he controlled it again.

"Shit! The pressure around me increasing slowly while my body is adapting to it. I'm feeling hunger right now more than I have ever felt in my life"

Mihawk spoke to himself as he felt the changes in his body. Even with the use of haki, he couldn't handle the pressure.'He is a demon to use such methods to train someone but then again they are showing immediate results.'

**********************************************

Ray was smiling a lot while flying towards the island of Amazon. His hair was fluttering in the air along with his clothes which seems to increase his charm even more. Suddenly, he took a deep breath.

"I am glad that he had accepted the offer otherwise I would not have left him alive"

Ray spoke smiling though he looked like a demon right now. He looked at the sea which below him to see many sea kings coming out from it while looking at him. He waved at them with an enthusiasm that made them happy.

'Even though he got the same training as my wives however it would not have the same effects on him. Gravity is not the only thing that helps them tremendously to get such good results. It's my food that helps them to get the required energy to handle the pressure.'

'Now I have one more good pawn in my little army though he would act alone as he used to. I don't think I would give him any kind of support. If he wants to get people then he should add them by himself under him.'

Ray shook his head to remove those unnecessary thoughts from his mind before he increased his speed slightly to reach there faster.'I wonder what could be my Hancock doing right now?'

**********************************************

"Elder sister, are you sure about this announcement?"

Marigold asked with a sceptical expression on her face as she looked towards her sister. Sandersonia was also standing in the room along with Elder Nyon who was smiling for some reason.

"Of course, I'm sure about this entire announcement that I would give"

Hancock responded to her little sisters confidently as she looked through some documents.

"But isn't it quite fast to announce something so big, Elder sister?"

Sandersonia asked worriedly as the announcement is gonna change many things in their Empire. She was looking at Elder Nyon for some help however Elder Nyon seems to agree with their elder sister.

"Are you perhaps doubting the abilities of my darling, Ray?"

Hancock asked with an angry expression, releasing her Conqueror haki subconsciously, making the other people in the room take two steps backwards in fear.

"Did you call everyone outside the palace it or not?"

Hancock asked again with an unpleasant expression on her face while looking at her sisters who seem to be stopping her from doing something important.'Hmph! No one can badmouth my darling.'

"Of course, Hancock I have prepared everything outside Nyo!"

Elder Nyon spoke smiling towards Hancock who instantly smiled at the work. The two sisters were still speechless as they have never seen these two talk with each other without their elder sister insulting her.

"Very well then let's go"

Hancock spoke smiling as she started to walk outside her room though this gate took them to the high place from they could see the entire island.

Below them were all the inhabitants of this Empire who were looking at the Empress with extreme reverence in their eyes though some of them were trying to look for someone alongside her though they didn't find the person which disheartened them a little.

Hancock returned in her Empress mode and came forward on the balcony. With a serious expression, she looked at her people of Empire who were also looking at with hearts. She spoke calmly showing her charm.

"People of Amazon, Today I have something very important to tell you from tomorrow I would not be your Empress anymore."

The people around them become confused as they did not understand why she was doing this. One of the citizens came forwards from the crowd to speak with a worried face.

"But you are our beloved Empress. How could be there someone better than you who could oversee this great Empire?"

Everyone looked at the woman who spoke with such confidence in a new light. The Kuja pirates were also impressed though even they were unaware of their Empress sudden decision. No one informed them about this whole thing.

Hancock looked at the woman for some seconds along with her sisters and elder Nyon before Hancock spoke again.

"I understand your concerns however I have already found someone worthy to take my position"

The citizens started to talk among them along with the Kuja pirates. Even though they were sad however they were also curious about the person who was worthy enough to sit on the throne when the current Empress is still young and strong.

They were discussing among selves when they suddenly heard a noise coming from the sky. They all curiously looked towards the sky only to see a figure coming down towards the place where their Empress was standing along with the family.

The Kuja pirates immediately prepared for a sudden attack by using their bows towards the location of that individual.

The citizens also took a step back as they were taught in their childhood in case of an attack on the Empire though they were willing to give their lives to protect the Empress.

"Darling"

Hancock suddenly shouted in excitement while looking at the person who was descending from the sky with a smile on his face. Everyone calmed down when they saw that their Empress knows the person.

Ray who was looking at the scene with confusion was hugged by Hancock. He accepted the hug and started to pat her head happily while waving at the other people present on the balcony.

"Ray-sama"

Some of the women started to shout his name with hearts in their eyes. Others also looked at him curiously as they have heard about him from the palace guards and some citizens who were speaking very highly of him.

"You have made quite a few fans already, darling"

Hancock spoke teasingly as she looked at the women who have an excited look in their eyes seeing Ray.

"Hehe, I'm your darling so what can you even expect"

Ray spoke smiling while waving the crowd of the women. They were shouting his name along with Hancock.

"So what is this all about?"

Ray asked curiously while looking at his soon to be a wife who just smiled at him. He looked at the sisters for an answer who was looking at him with flushed faces.'I guess they did fall for me.'

Marigold started to explain the current situation to him with a smile making Sandersonia jealous who wanted to speak first. Ray nodded at them as he didn't have any problems regarding this whole scenario.

After listening to the entire thing, a small smirk appeared on his face. He wanted to become Emperor however he did not think that it would this early.'Now the fun would be double.'

He took a deep breath to calm his increasing excitement. He pulled Hancock towards him by grabbing her slim waist, making her surprised at the sudden movement of his. Now she was hugging his arms as his right arm was between her soft boobs. With a gentle smile, he spoke loudly.

"People of Amazon, My name is Ray Morningstar. I'm soon to be your new Emperor"

The women who knew him already cheered in happiness though most of them still looked unsure about this. Seeing this Ray smile vanished which worried the people close to him.

Suddenly a high wave of Conqueror haki passed through the crowd though not everyone was affected by this. He had purposely left those who supported him as a sign of his gratitude. The women who were left now were cheering even more for him.

"You know how to handle this, darling otherwise some of them might have died today."

Hancock spoke in a cold tone as she looked at the people who were about to get conscious.'Darling is purposely holding back so they could learn from the experience.'

"We accept you Ray-sama"

Everyone shouted with hearts in their eyes making him a little confused before he remembered something from the Anime.'Right! the charm here has a very deadly effect on the people and when you combine it with Conqueror haki, you become their God.'

"Now that everyone has accepted my darling as their new Emperor, I want to announce something else"

Hancock spoke in her Empress style which made her look even more cure in his eyes. He subconsciously pulled her even closer making her very happy at the close contact.'Darling is making his move in public though I loved it.'

"I'm gonna marry Ray in next coming months"

Hancock dropped the bomb on everyone she said that. She had not said anything about marriage to anyone, not even her family. It was very shocking for everyone except Ray who was grinning.

The women were happy though they felt quite sad hearing about the marriage. They were looking at Ray with a longing look still everyone clapped for them.

"That's not all, from now on no one would go outside to have children"

Hancock spoke shocking everyone as she was taking their birthright to have children. They started to discuss among themselves as it was against their right. Hancock spoke again with a smile on her face, not caring about what they were speaking.

"From now one, you would come to your Emperor to bear his child so no men should touch you as they all are evil"

Everyone who was listening to her was silent as they could not believe their Empress words. After all, she did say that she would marry him but now she is telling them to have a relationship with her soon to be husband.

Ray looked at her in surprise as he didn't think that she would say something like this here when she just have announced their marriage. 'Well, I don't have a problem with it anyway. After all, I would never let any men touch them so it is all good.'

Hancock family didn't know what to say right now. They got many surprises today first being the sudden announcement of their marriage then this whole thing is bearing children of her husband. Still, the sisters were feeling quite good about this.

"Now that it's done, let's celebrate this occasion"

Hancock shouted enthusiastically while holding the hand of her beloved Ray. Everyone cheered happily at the mention of the celebration.

Ray didn't speak anything as he knew that he would get many women tonight. He could feel the lust and devotion, they held for him right now. 'It's gonna be an interesting night though I might not do anything naughty before tasting my wife first.'

**********************************************

"Are you sure that this is the way, Elder Mary?"

A girl in her early twenties spoke to an old man who was walking alongside her. The road was completely dark though they had lamps in their hand.

"This is the right way, young lady"

Mary spoke in a tired voice as he was walking for a long time due to not arriving in the daylight.'Walking in the night is so frustrating.'

"Are you sure that my sister Nojiko would be there?"

The young girl asked again worriedly as she doesn't want anything to happen with her elder sister.'Our saviour would be there as well. I want to thank him for his help.'

"Of course, Nami-san, she is present there along with her husband Ray"

Mary spoke smiling a little as this girl was making him remember his young miss.'She seems to have a horrible past compared to her sister but then again I could be wrong.'

Nami is a slim young woman of average height with orange hair and brown eyes. She has an hourglass figure coupled with a small chest.

Nami wore her trademark orange mini-skirt with two white rings on each side filled in with orange or brown in their centres and shirts with short sleeves which was hiding a tattoo on her left arm.

She also had short hair with a particularly curled strand over the left side of her face.

'I hope you both are fine Nojiko, Ray. I'm coming to see you both.'

Nami thought worriedly while walking towards the village which was situated on the island. A small smile appeared on her face as she thought about meeting her sister after a long time.
