When Lan Luo contacted the Empress, a weak, impatient voice came through: "Lord Lan Luo, you finally answered my ring message."
"I'm sorry, Hancock, I was forging weapons a while ago and didn't see your message. I replied to you as soon as I finished," Lan Luo explained, a bit helpless.
It seemed the Empress on the other side didn't notice the important point: "Did you contact me immediately?"
Hearing this, Lan Luo's face darkened. It was clear the Empress on the other side had misunderstood: "Is something wrong, Hancock?"
"I've captured a Pirate, a very powerful one. It seems to be Blackbeard, the one you mentioned. Are you interested?" the Empress said, a hint of seriousness in her voice.
Speaking of Blackbeard, he was quite unlucky. In the original story, he wanted the Munch-Munch Fruit, but Lan Luo got it first. So, his first target after obtaining the Dark-Dark Fruit wasn't Winter Island, but the Empress's Amazon Lily. He originally thought he could easily defeat this Shichibukai.
Blackbeard, with his newly recruited subordinates, attacked Amazon Lily. The beginning went exactly as he predicted, but later, everything changed when he met the Empress.
The moment Blackbeard's subordinates saw the Empress, they were turned to stone. Blackbeard immediately felt something was wrong and was about to escape, but the Empress, seeing that he was the Blackbeard her Lord Lan Luo wanted, acted immediately. With her close-combat ability from the Breath of Life, the succubus powers, and the Love-Love Fruit's abilities, plus her Haki, which was much stronger than in the original story, she was formidable.
Not long after they clashed, Blackbeard became lost in the Empress's charm. His Haki was greatly depleted, and in a short time, he was hit by the Empress's kick, imbued with Haoshoku. Not long after, he was directly petrified.
Originally, she wanted to claim credit from Lan Luo as soon as she defeated Blackbeard, but she didn't expect Lan Luo to still be busy forging his weapons. She couldn't contact him for several days. Later, she found herself getting hotter and hotter all over. Elder Nyon told her this was lovesickness.
Upon hearing this news, her two sisters and Elder Nyon were in a panic. Just as they were about to give up, Lan Luo's projection appeared in the Empress's room. Hearing Lan Luo's words, the Empress's breathing slowly returned to normal.
Before everyone could think much more, Lan Luo's real figure appeared in the palace. Seeing Lan Luo, no longer a projection, Hancock could no longer restrain herself. She immediately got up from the bed and pounced on Lan Luo.
Heaven help her, every day she used the phantom projection from her ring to look at Lan Luo's figure, but they were all mere projections. But today, she finally saw the real Lan Luo, and for a moment, she couldn't control her emotions.
Lan Luo gently patted her back, feeling her burning body: "It's alright, I'm here. Everything will be fine."
"I've come this time to evolve your Devil Fruits. Also, if you don't want to bear the burden of Amazon Lily, I can use the Float-Float Fruit's power to move Amazon Lily to Sky Island. There's no war there, only peace and tranquility. The World Government will never threaten you again," Lan Luo whispered words of care into the Empress's ear.
The Empress then felt a little embarrassed, having pounced on Lan Luo the moment she saw him: "I was just too excited. I didn't expect Lord Lan Luo to come and see me." After saying that, she awkwardly left Lan Luo's embrace.
Hancock, remembering Lan Luo's previous words, also said: "I am the Empress of Amazon Lily, and protecting them is my duty. But it is also because of them that I am threatened by the World Government, which I despise the most."
Before she could finish, Elder Nyon interjected: "Amazon Lily is our home, Hancock."
As soon as Elder Nyon finished speaking, Hancock kicked her out of the palace, then continued: "Just as Elder Nyon said, as the Empress, I must bear the fate and responsibility of Amazon Lily."
Lan Luo didn't force the three sisters, as they truly had it tough. After receiving Lan Luo's help, they also made significant progress.
Subsequently, Lan Luo summoned Daji, instructing her to evolve the Devil Fruit abilities of the three sisters and also help them eliminate the drawbacks of the Devil Fruits. Not only that, Lan Luo also lifted the restriction on their rings, allowing them to reach the airship at any time. Now, they could go to the airship whenever they wished.
Hearing Lan Luo's words, Hancock once again pounced on Lan Luo and said: "I've been learning to cook recently. Once I master it, I'll definitely be a very good wife." As she spoke, she began to tell Lan Luo about some cooking performance ring accounts she followed.
When Lan Luo saw the Longarm Tribe member demonstrating 108 ways to cook earthworms, and some other strange accounts, he found it somewhat unbearable to watch.
"I have some cooking information in my ring. I'll send it all to you in a bit," Lan Luo thought. If the Empress cooked by hand, it would be nice. On their ship, a single spell always took care of it.
"Really? Lord Lan Luo, you're so good to me!" Hancock looked at Lan Luo with heart-shaped eyes.
Unable to bear the Empress's intense gaze, Lan Luo had to change the subject: "Alright, you now have the Float-Float Fruit's ability yourself. You can control Amazon Lily to fly into the sky at any time, and go wherever you want. Can I see Blackbeard now?"
"Of course, Lord Lan Luo, please follow me." With that, the Empress led the way. Her two sisters watched, dumbfounded, muttering to themselves, 'He can accept such an awkward change of topic. One dares to speak, the other dares to listen.'
When Lan Luo and the others arrived at the port, they saw many warriors gathered around the stone statues, saying: "So these are the legendary men? They don't seem much different from us, just smaller chests and a little something extra down below."
The Empress and Lan Luo both had darkened expressions upon hearing this.
Seeing the Empress's arrival, everyone slowly moved aside. Lan Luo even saw someone in the crowd turn themselves into stone, just like Sanji, a true loyal fan.
Lan Luo didn't make the Empress and the others wait long. He directly used the power of the soul gem to extract all the Devil Fruits inside. A flash of Conqueror's Haki swept through, and all the stone statues, except for the petrified people of Amazon Lily, turned into rubble. Thus, the Blackbeard Pirates were completely wiped out.
He casually threw the Dark-Dark Fruit to Hancock and said: "This is the Devil FruitBlackbeard schemed for decades, the most vicious Devil Fruit in this world. It can nullify other Devil Fruits and steal others' Devil Fruits. You now have this ability. You can choose whether to sell it or keep it on Amazon Lily. But these Devil Fruits have their own will. If it were me, I would sell it to secure more development funds for Amazon Lily."
The Empress, holding the Dark-Dark Fruit with both hands over her heart, said: "This is the first gift Lord Lan Luo has given me. I will cherish it and will not sell it."
Her two sisters muttered from the side: "Wasn't the beauty potion the first gift?"
