Amazon Lily is an extraordinarily magical place known as the Island of Women. In other words, the people of this nation possess incredible physiques. They go to sea when they become adults, get pregnant, and return to Amazon Lily, and the children born are also women.
So, it's a country where only women live.
It's likely that a country without men would face a crisis if not for the protection of the Calm Belt and the patronage of a strong King.
The Kuja Pirates are not so much pirates as they are the only armed forces in this country, resembling an army. Previously, their primary goal in going to sea was more about holding back pirates, which is more significant than looting.
There are very few peaceful ships in these seas. But the Kuja Pirates are not the type to actively attack others.
According to the law of Alabasta, dozens or even hundreds of kilometers near Amazon Lily belong to their territorial waters, and the Kuja's activities are within this range, giving them the right to do whatever they want with people who enter this area.
Moreover, encroachment on Amazon Lily's territory will now be considered an act of aggression against the sovereignty of Alabasta. As long as Alabasta exists, the Kuja Pirates will exist.
But even if the Kuja Pirates were somehow destroyed, the country of Amazon Lily would still remain under Alabasta's full protection.
Furthermore, Ezekiel has established a strong friendship and cooperation with the Kuja Pirates. Although Justice is the mission of Alabasta's Royal Fleet, they can only provide protection within the country; they do not control other countries.
However, this world harbors a great deal of injustice, such as slavery. This issue must be resolved. Ezekiel did not want this phenomenon to continue.
In this case, he decided to give the Kuja warriors the opportunity to join the Royal Fleet of Alabasta.
Being a pirate is too hopeless, follow me to learn how to be a soldier!
As soon as this phrase was spoken, an expression of shock immediately appeared on Jinbei's otherwise expressionless face. Jinbei felt the words catch in his throat, unsure of how to express his feelings. He simply concluded once again that His Majesty the King truly is an amazing ruler. After all, the Kuja Pirates represent one of the great forces at sea, and their Captain is a Shichibukai!
But Jinbei understood that Ezekiel would not stop there. In reality, the Kuja Pirates consist of only a few dozen people, while Ezekiel wanted to recruit more than just dozens. What he wanted was the entire group of the island's warrior women.
Since it's a request from Ezekiel, my warriors will definitely not refuse, - Hancock said, sitting in her chair with her legs tucked under her, smiling at Ezekiel. Her pair of slender and perfect legs made a strong visual impression. Even someone as steely as Ezekiel couldn't withstand it. She is the number one beauty in the world!
Although he had never heard anyone else claim that title, Ezekiel believed that with her fruit ability, it's unlikely anyone could truly compare to her in terms of beauty.
However, my warriors will only follow the orders of their Empress, so I must lead this Royal Fleet unit.
Hearing what Hancock said, Ezekiel was stunned. After all, Hancock is the ruler of the country. No matter how small Amazon Lily is, one cannot deny the fact that it is a separate nation, and that Hancock is the Empress.
Hancock tilted her head and looked directly at Ezekiel:
The warriors of Amazon Lily will be the sword in your hand, do you trust me?
Ezekiel groaned and laughed silently. It seems there was no need to ask Hancock, as she already understood that this was the best way forward for the Kuja Pirates.
He took his imperial seal and pressed it onto the contract he had prepared in advance.
Thus, seven days later in Erume, the first women's corps of the Royal Fleet was officially established.
Former Shichibukai Hancock accepted the appointment from Marshal of the Royal Fleet Zephyr and King of Alabasta Ezekiel, becoming the first Admiral of the Royal Fleet, commanding all the women soldiers of the Royal Fleet.
The position of Admiral of the Royal Fleet, which had remained vacant for several years, finally had its first candidate. On one hand, giving such a position to the young Hancock seemed excessive, but she is an Empress, so Ezekiel couldn't appoint her as Vice Admiral. In the end, Ezekiel gave her the power of the Thunder Fruit, making her, after Smoker, another person with dual fruit abilities in the Royal Fleet.
The former Pirate Empress, a member of the Shichibukai, became an Admiral of the Royal Fleet.
For countless people, this seemed absolutely incredible. But it was true.
News headlines reported this for several days, the forums exploded, and the World Government seized the opportunity to desperately malign Alabasta.
"Pirate Empress becomes Admiral of the Royal Fleet, legendary woman."
"Amazon Lily, a country recognized by Alabasta, has a status equivalent to World Government countries."
"Marshal Zephyr: Amazon Lily has made many mistakes in the past as a nation, but Alabasta is ready to give it a chance for rebirth."
"Admiral of the Marine Patrol Akainu: what an absurd decision to make a pirate an Admiral of the Fleet, it's an insult to absolute Justice!"
"Admiral of the Marine Patrol Kizaru: young people these days are truly crazy!"
In these seas, everyone has their own sense of justice.
Zephyr's justice lies not in killing, but in tolerant justice.
Akainu's justice is murderous, absolute justice.
In fact, in the distant past, Zephyr had the same ideas as Akainu. But from a certain day, he believed in tolerant justice and was called an Admiral who did not acknowledge killings. Zephyr didn't change his convictions until he encountered Edward Weeble.
But this doesn't mean Zephyr turned back into a man who once insisted on absolute Justice.
In the Royal Fleet, there aren't any significant disagreements. Now that the country of Amazon Lily had been fully accepted under the protection of Alabasta, the focus was on the Kuja Pirates. They are not just a pirate crew, but a nation with hundreds of thousands of people behind them!
For those who continue to have doubts, Zephyr posed the same question that Ezekiel had asked him.
Can you guarantee the survival of these hundreds of thousands of people? You can adhere to your beliefs as long as you can take responsibility for the survival of these hundreds of thousands of people!
