Chapter 5

Grand Line, Amazon Lily Island, Royal Palace.

"Hebihime-sama. Your breakfast is ready to be served." A maid working in the Royal Palace gave a report to a woman who was currently sitting on a throne chair with a gaze filled with serenity and there was also a kind of superior aura emitted by that woman.

"Good work. Come and arrange all those dishes in my dining room."

The woman said in a proud tone.

The woman has the appearance of a slender body with a perfect shape, has long smooth black hair, white skin, and a very beautiful face. The woman was wearing a red china dress that showed her curves and behind her was a large snake that always followed her. The woman was named Boa Hancock and the snake behind her was Solome.

Boa Hancock is the Empress of Amazon Lily Island and the Captain of the Kuja Pirates. Boa Hancock's identity is Shichibukai.

The Shichibukai are an organization that is directly under the World Government. This organization consists of seven major pirates who are affiliated with the World government. The Shichibukai have the right to own their own territory as well as carry out illegal looting at a cost of 10% to be given to the World Government.

At the same time. Hancock's den-den mushi sounded.

"Who calls me this early in the morning?" Hancock muttered as she frowned.

Solome quickly took the den-den mushi and brought it to Hancock. Hancock immediately raised the den-den mushi.

"Who dares to contact me?" Hancock asked in a cold tone and full of the arrogance of an empress.

"Ara, Hancock? Haven't heard your voice in a long time. Am I currently bothering you?"

"Shakky?" The voice coming from the den-den mushi was instantly recognized by Hancock.

Naturally, because Shakky was the one who had saved Hancock in the past. This is what makes Hancock indebted to Shakky.

"Is that you, Shaky? You haven't contacted me in a long time." Hancock's previously cold and unfriendly voice immediately turned friendly and calm, "How are you doing with Rayleigh over there? Healthy?"

"We're both still the same as the last time you came here" Shakky replied, "How are you? Many news about you and your strength have increased compared to before. How are you from Sonia and Mari? Are they okay?"

"They're both fine, Shakky. The three of us are living a good life at the moment" Hancock said with a sweet smile, "Is there something that made you want to contact me, Shakky?"

"Fig? Can I not contact you just because I want to ask how are you? Looks like the little lady we helped before already has a lot of work to do for her" Shakky said in a teasing tone.

"Stop teasing me, Shakky" Hancock said in a slightly sullen tone.

"Okay. Maybe I should just get to the point of my conversation." Shakky's tone suddenly turned a little serious, "How are you doing now? Do you mean the scar on your back? Have you found a medicine that can remove the scar?"

"Still not yet" Hancock frowned with a serious look, "Until now we still haven't found him. I don't think it's possible to find such a thing."

"Why do you think so, Hancock?" Shakky asked in a slightly humorous tone, "You know, there's a place that just opened. The place is called the Guild and its current location is very close to my bar."

"Guilds? What's so special about that place? Maybe just a bar that disgusting men go to" Hancock said mockingly.

"Hehe… Don't get me wrong, Hancock" Shakky said, "Even though the place itself has a function as a bar as well as a restaurant. However, that place is more magical than you think."

"More magical?" Hancock's interest began to rise to hear this.

"There are a lot of interesting things in that place even for Ray-san's class people are very interested in the place and are currently starting to do some preparations"

"Some preparations? Your words almost seem to imply that Rayleigh is going to fight" Hancock lightly replied.

"The place called the Guild itself isn't a place people just come and drink, Hancock. But that place also facilitates one to fight with very strong monsters and get an item that can later be exchanged into an item in the Guild" Shakky said in a severe tone.

"Battle with monsters? What do you mean, Shaky?" Hancock asked while frowning seriously.

Shakky started explaining all things about the Guild to Hancock. Like the facilities there, what can be done there, dungeons, and also the items that can be obtained there.

All the explanations given by Shakky made Hancock suddenly pause in surprise.

"What… Does a place like this really exist?" Hancock asked in a slightly broken tone.

"It's hard to believe it. However, Rayleigh and I immediately confirmed this, Hancock. The owner of the place named Ars immediately took the two of us into the dungeon to verify the truth. The two of us went in and took a direct look at the inside of the dungeon and it was all according to the explanation."

"Then…" Hancock's voice was now full of hope.

"Yes. There is a medicine that can heal the permanent scars on your back right now. However, you also need to work for it. You can't use pirate methods to get the items that are there. Because the owner of the place was no ordinary person. There's no way ordinary people can create a dungeon-like place with monsters that have the power level of a Sea Emperor even higher."

"I know" Hancock nodded and also knew about this situation.

Although Hancock herself was a bit reluctant to accept it. Hancock knew very well that her current strength might or might not even be worthy of standing in front of the owner of the place.

"You guys come here quickly. Later I will take you to meet him. Currently, Rayleigh has also contacted one of his acquaintances, Akagami Shanks. He is likely to be involved as well and will be coming soon. With his presence, the place will begin to be known by many people. Before that happens, you better build your initial foundation there. So that at that time the place was known by many people. You already have a decent starting foundation there. There is a possibility that the world will begin to change. Previously, many people aspired to hunt One Piece with the arrival of this place. There will be many people who move places and become an adventurer. If you don't hurry to build the initial foundation. You will soon step aside from the changes that occur."

"I understand." Hancock nodded seriously.

Communication between the two was immediately cut off. Hancock immediately got up from her seat, "Call Sonia and Mari right now!" Hancock shouted to her subordinates who were currently guarding the entrance to his room.

"I see, Hebihime-sama." Her subordinate immediately went to carry out the order.

It didn't take long for Sandersonia and Marigold, the two sisters of Hancock, to arrive there.

"Is there something we need to do, Big Sister?" Sandersonia asked excitedly.

"Sonia, Mari. You ordered all members of the Kuja Pirates to prepare the ship. We will go sailing to Saboundy Island now."

"Is there something very important for us to come there, Big Sister?" Marigold asked with great interest.

"I'll explain later when we sail. This will change the pattern of today's world. Better move quickly and don't let other people overtake us." Hancock said in a serious tone.

"Change the pattern of the world?" Sandersonia and Marigold were quite confused by Hancock's words. However, the two of them did what she was told to do. The two of them immediately went to order all members of the Kuja pirate group to prepare the ship.
