Chapter 30: Reforms

"Hngh, Tyr. Join the red-hair pirates, munya, munya." Uta was sleep-talking while she was on his shoulders.

"It should be me, not him!" Shanks pointed at him accusingly.

"Well, tough luck man." Tyr shrugged and he patted Uta's head.

Luffy was also sprawled over his arm while Ace was nodding off nearby.

"I think they need to go to bed. Let us bring Ace and Luffy back to Dadan." The Boa sisters carried them carefully.

"You've been here for some time now, Shanks. What's your plan next?" Tyr looked towards his crew.

"Ahh, we're going to sail soon. Thanks for all the sea kings you hunted for the parties." Shanks grinned at him.

"I see, we also need to do a lot of things. So we won't meet for a long time I guess." Tyr looked at Maria and she nodded.

"Here, take care of Uta." Tyr handed her to him and Shanks nodded.

"Of course, she's my daughter. Don't worry about Uta." Shanks stared at her for a good minute.

'I guess he's going to drop her off huh?' Tyr could see it.

After all, he did the same thing a few years ago.

"Explain to her what you're going to do. Hancock kicked me because of that." Tyr snorted and Shanks looked at him in surprise.

"I see, I'll do that." Shanks nodded and they returned to their ship.

"What should we do now? We don't have a ship you know?" Maria smiled wryly at Tyr.

"Well, we can make do with a shitty one for now. We have to find information about Nico, Robin first anyways." Tyr nodded and they regrouped with the Boa sisters.

Tyr told them about his plans as he didn't want the world government getting their hands on someone so important.

"So... This Robin can read these so-called poneglyphs?" Hancock analyzed him thoroughly.

"And these poneglyphs contain lost history?" Sandersonia blinked.

"The government's put a bounty on her since she was eight?" Marigold raised a brow at that.

"Yes, yes, and yes. And I don't want the gorosei having someone like that at all." Tyr squinted his eyes.

"How old is this Nico, Robin again?" Hancock wasn't thrilled.

"Well, she was eight ten years ago. So she's eighteen now. If she's still alive that is." Maria calculated.

'Ahhh... God, why is he such a sinful man?' Hancock bit her lip.

"That's not important, what's important is she should be under the radar and in our protection." Tyr furrowed his brows.

They straightened up as he went serious. "A little girl that's wanted by the world. Do you have any idea what she must've went through? Come on, let's go find traces of her." Every single one of them nodded.

The Boa sisters remembered being captured and helpless. While Maria recalled the discrimination against her. Only because she was born as an oni.

"Let's go to Amazon Lily first." Hancock furrowed her brows.

They sent back Kuina to Shimotsuki first and Tyr charged up their gravity chamber.

After that, Hancock's ship went straight towards the calm belt so they could get to Amazon Lily.

Arriving at the place, Tyr can't help but get a bit anxious.

"Isn't this place only for women? I wonder how your people will react." Tyr chuckled as he remembered stories of Amazonians.

"I am to be the next empress of Amazon Lily. As you've said in the past, tradition is the corpse of wisdom. I will be opening its borders to those strong enough to get in it." Hancock snorted.

"Amazon Lily's women also only give birth to women. So by introducing strong people, we can increase our population." Sandersonia nodded sagely.

"Will it be fine though? Won't our populace decrease instead as more and more amazonians want to sail?" Marigold raised a good point.

"Even if more amazonians go, the trade will increase military might and the economy. Hancock can still recall warriors all over the world." Maria analyzed and they nodded.

"And spreading the agents of Amazon Lily will increase our influence. A network can also be made. Giving us more information about the grand line." Tyr shrugged.

"See? It's a good idea. Though unruly men who have unsavory ideas will be killed immediately." Hancock squinted her eyes.

"Ahhh... That seems to be the best choice for now. And Maria, can you write up a guide on how to deal with people? You're quite adept at it." Tyr asked of her.

"Tche, tell us we're bad at dealing with people, sure." Hancock pouted at him.

"Well, besides me. I don't think you girls can get along with other guys. Except probably Luffy and Ace." Tyr laughed.

"I'll get to it. We should turn the women of Amazon Lily into seductresses." Maria smirked and she started writing a guide.

The ship docked to Amazon Lily and Tyr raised a brow at how they were received.

A red carpet was rolled for them and the populace cheered like their favorite celebrity graced them with her presence.

"What the hell?" Tyr looked at Hancock and she smirked while flaunting her silky hair.

"Your hebihime has arrived." Hancock announced and the masses screamed.

"You sure are popular." Tyr looked around and they didn't even notice him.

"Hmph, that's because I am beautiful." Hancock's confidence was through the roof. And she wasn't even wrong.

"What a narcissist." Maria took off her hairpins which are swords.

Her slightly curly, golden locks then flowed like strings made of gold.

"Waaah, hebihime brought another beautiful person. Is she perhaps a new addition to Amazon Lily?" The people started whispering.

"And who's that muscular girl? Her hair's platinum blonde! Her green eyes are like emeralds and those jet-black wings..." The ladies started noticing Tyr.

"Just smile and wave, smile and wave." Tyr's expression tightened as Hancock glared at them.

"He's a man. And he is to be my husband." Hancock announced as she stomped on the ground.

"A man!? Aren't they just myths!?" The masses murmured and Tyr sighed as he was trying to keep a low profile.

"Men have wings? And they have a fire behind them?" They looked at him curiously.

"This is why I was trying to make myself scarce, Hancock." Tyr rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Ahh..." She then looked at the ground in shame.

"Heh, do you only give Tyr problems?" Maria gloated at her and Hancock glared daggers at Maria.

"Girls, girls, let's go to the palace first." Sandersonia and Marigold pried them off of each other.

When they reached the palace, they were met with a small, old lady.

"T-that's a man! And a Lunarian to boot! Hebihime! Where did you find him nyo!?" The old woman had the shock of her life.

"Elder nyon, shut up. This is my husband you're talking about." Hancock glared at her.

"Wait... You know I'm a Lunarian?" Tyr looked at her curiously.

"Ahh, please forget that nyo." Elder nyon sweated.

"Hmph, I'll give you a pass. What's your name? I'm Tyr." He looked at the others and they nodded at him.

"Gloriosa... I never expected Hancock to bring back a man of all things." Gloriosa blinked.

"Well, technically. I'm not a man yet, but I get your point. Gloriosa, who are you?" Tyr got suspicious of her.

"I... I'm a past empress of this island. A few generations ago. That is why I am shocked that Hancock returned with you. The empresses of Amazon Lily can die if they repress their feelings." Gloriosa was confused.

"What disease?" The others immediately looked at Hancock with concern.

"The love disease! A lot of past empresses died to it. Hancock didn't show any signs of it. So imagine my surprise." Gloriosa looked at her curiously.

'Hah, I'm still technically a child. Let's wait for a few more years.' Tyr looked at Hancock stealthily.

"Maybe it's because she isn't the empress yet?" Maria theorized.

"Ohh, that was dangerous." Sandersonia winced.

"But how does it work against empresses exactly?" Marigold was confused.

"I do not know, but several empresses of Amazon Lily died due to it. I followed my heart and got out of the country, so I survived." Gloriosa was clueless as well.

"So? Hancock has to follow me when she turns into the empress?" Tyr thought that can bring some problems.

An absent ruler will receive mutiny after all. "As far as I know, no. The empresses who suppress their feelings are the ones most affected."

"Hancock, sorry about this. But you have to lead Amazon Lily." Tyr patted her on the shoulders and she moaned.

"A-ahh, if you will it." Hancock blushed and Tyr thought her up and coming disease was quite something.

"Who are you really? There's only one Lunarian left and he's on Kaido's crew." Gloriosa looked at Tyr.

"Me? I'm quite a bit special you see? Let me introduce myself fully. Saint Tyr Warcury at your service." Tyr smiled with a small bow and Gloriosa bugged out.

"A... A celestial dragon!?" Gloriosa can't believe it.

"Enough about that though, it's not important." Tyr waved it off.

"It sure is in my eyes!" Gloriosa looked around in anxiety. Thinking that the world government might raid them.

"It definitely isn't. Gloriosa, you're a past empress of Amazon Lily. We'll be making reforms on the place. We need more people outside to find someone." Gloriosa raised a brow at that.

"And who is it?" Tyr took out a poster and she saw that it was Nico, Robin.

"The demon child of Ohara?" Gloriosa went wide eyed.

"Mostly propaganda, I'm sure. I need to get her to safety. The world government either wants her dead or as their tool to translate ancient language." Tyr furrowed his brows.

"So you need information... I know a place." Gloriosa squinted her eyes.

"Really? You think you can lead us to them?" Tyr thought she was quite useful.

"Yeah, it depends if they'll help you though." Gloriosa shrugged.

"Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained." Tyr was ready to sail immediately.

"They're on Sabaody, it's a bar called Shakky's rip-off bar. You'll maybe get a better idea there." Gloriosa rubbed her chin.

"Are you leaving already?" Hancock grabbed his wing and he turned around.

"Duty calls, Hancock. Don't worry, I might leave Robin here for her safety. So I will see you guys again soon." Tyr smiled at them.

"He won't be disappearing, nee-san." Sandersonia smiled wryly.

"Though we did have to find him to see him again." Marigold pouted at him and Tyr laughed.

"That's why I gave you my vivre card. You're too high profile as well. Your combined bounty is 700 million." Tyr remembered their posters.

Marigold and Sandersonia had 200 million bounties. While Hancock has 300. They were obviously famous now.

"We'll be back, don't worry." Tyr hugged them and kissed their foreheads.

"Hoh? What a sinful man." Gloriosa saw Maria fume, but she will be able to stay with him so she let it go.

"Come on, Maria. Let's go to Sabaody." Tyr gestured for them to go and they retrieved his boat that was being pulled by Hancock's ship.

"Here, call me if you need anything." Tyr gave the Boa sisters his den den mushi coordinates.

"I'll ask for updates often!" Hancock held it carefully as she waved at them.

"Tyr will be well taken care of." Maria smirked at her.

"Heh, big words for someone that hasn't even held hands with him." Hancock gave her a smug look.

"Gah! You! Just you wait!" Maria butted heads with her and Tyr had to pry them off of each other.

"Let's go, Sabaody's waiting for us." Tyr rolled his eyes and Maria sat on his boat again.

"Ugh, can't a lady have a better seat?" Maria complained.

"We'll probably just steal a marine battleship while we're on the way, sorry about the tight space." Tyr looked at her apologetically.

"O-oh, it's fine for now then." Maria twirled her hair and Tyr patted her on the shoulder.

"We have to get Adam wood to build our ship. So we need to wait for it to appear in the black market." Maria nodded and they sailed to Sabaody.
