Guardians of Amazon Lily

After Hashirama's impressive display of power, a profound silence fell over Amazon Lily.

The sun, previously eclipsed by the wooden dragons, began to shine brightly again.

The wooden dragons, after their deafening roar, gracefully ascended into the sky. Their serpentine bodies moved towards the nearest coastal mountains, where they coiled around the peaks. With a collective sigh, they closed their eyes and entered a deep slumber, their bodies immobile like guardian statues.

The giant wooden ogres, on the other hand, slowly moved towards the island's shores. Their footsteps resonated on the ground, making the earth tremble under their feet.

Once they reached their destinations, they knelt down and crossed their arms over their chests, their wooden eyes fixed on the horizon. They remained motionless, like sleeping giants.

With one last look at his creations, Hashirama turned to Vivi, who was gazing at the spectacle in amazement.

He couldn't explain why, but ever since Vivi appeared in the manga, she had become his favorite waifu in the One Piece world. He loved everything about her.

That's why, when he transmigrated and realized he had arrived during the Rocks era, he felt sad because all the One Piece waifus had not yet been born. But now that he had been resurrected in the post-timeskip period, he could enjoy all the beauties with a bit more maturity, like this Vivi who had a touch of maturity in her charm and curves.

"Rest," he whispered, gently stroking her hair.

Vivi, lifting her head and looking into his eyes, nodded slowly and let herself be carried away by sleep, nestled in his arm.

Some Kuja warriors, unable to withstand the pressure of the protectors' will, fell to the ground unconscious, foam coming from their mouths.

The warriors who remained standing, after recovering from the initial impact, burst into shouts of surprise and excitement. Recognizing the Conqueror's Haki, the same power their beloved Empress possessed.

"Incredible!" exclaimed Kikyo, her eyes shining with admiration. "Our new protectors have the Conqueror's Haki!"

"It's a miracle!" shouted Enishida, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks. "Amazon Lily is safe!"

The excitement spread quickly, and soon the entire island was filled with shouts of jubilation and celebration. The Kuja warriors danced and sang, praising Hashirama. Some even knelt before the protectors, their hands joined in prayer.

Wapol, though not fainted, staggered like a drunk, his body struggling to adapt to the surge of Conqueror's Haki. "Incredible..." he murmured, his eyes glazed. "I've never felt such power before..."

King and Morgans, unperturbed by the Conqueror's Haki, observed the scene with fascination.

"Impressive," commented King with his usual stoicism. "Hashirama-sama never ceases to amaze."

Morgans, his eyes shining with excitement, nodded energetically. "This is front-page news!" he exclaimed, pulling out his notebook and pen. "The whole world needs to know about this!"

Nyon stood paralyzed with awe. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she beheld the new protectors of her island. She had never imagined that Amazon Lily would be so well protected. Emotion overwhelmed her, and for a moment, she felt young and full of hope.

…

Meanwhile, in her room, Hancock rose from the bed, her face pale and her eyes swollen from crying. Feeling the shockwave of the Conqueror's Haki, her heart filled with hope. Could it be Luffy?

Looking outside, she was surprised to see five new Patrons and five giant ogres. Her heart leapt with joy as she recalled the old Patron. But the joy quickly turned to bitterness as she remembered that all this was Hashirama's doing.

Her eyes filled with tears again, and a sob escaped her lips. At that moment, her gaze fell on the figure of Hashirama, walking towards the celebration with Vivi clinging to his chest. The image of the princess nestled in his arms unexpectedly filled her with jealousy and rage.

With a choked cry, Hancock threw herself on the bed, burying her face in the pillow. Her heart shattered into a thousand pieces.

The Saber of Xebec sailed full speed through the waters near the Sabaody Archipelago. On the deck, a wild feast was in full swing. Blackbeard's pirates were celebrating their next conquest: Amazon Lily.

Amid the commotion, Catarina Devon raised her wine cup with a malicious smile. "The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock!" she said in a syrupy voice, "They say she's the most beautiful woman in the world. I hope our dear captain doesn't have mercy on her."

Her words prompted a wave of comments among the other officers and crew.

"Ha!" exclaimed Vasco Shot. "Knowing the captain, I doubt he can resist a woman like that!"

The conversation turned more lascivious as the pirates imagined Amazon Lily.

"An island full of women!" shouted a crew member. "This trip will be like a vacation!"

"And what a vacation!" added another, with a dry laugh. "I hope those amazons are ready for some fun."

Suddenly, a loud crash cut the conversation. Blackbeard, who had been drinking in silence, threw his empty mug to the ground, shattering it. His characteristic laugh filled the air.

"No woman will stand in my way!" he declared in a booming voice. "If Hancock wants to keep her head, she'd better surrender without a fight."

Then, his gaze settled on Catarina Devon. "And you," he said with a malicious grin, "if you want her head, you'll have to wait until I get her powers."

Devon, far from feeling intimidated, returned his smile with a defiant look. "Don't worry, captain," she replied confidently. "I'll bring you Hancock's head on a silver platter."
