Meanwhile on the Calm Belt around three kilometres from the island, a Marine battleship had dropped its anchor.
"Vice Admiral Momonga, is it okay we drop anchor here," a Marine shouted.
"There are sea beasts here," another one said as he looked around.
At that moment, a large fish the size of the battleship broke out from the waves.
"We got a big one," a Marine shouted.
"Fire the canons," another one ordered. The Marine battleship aimed its cannon and fired. Cannon balls erupted and travelled through the air and hit the large fish. The cannon balls exploded and created a small smoke cloud however the large fish was unphased.
At that moment, a man with a black mohawk and a mustache drew his sword. He wore a standard marine uniform, consisting of a purple and white pinstripe suit with a coat draped over his shoulders. Underneath the coat was a dark blue shirt and a light blue tie. He was tall and well-built. "Out of the way," Momonga said as he leaped into the air. He swung his katana. With a single, vertical strike, he slashed the fish monster and went through him. Its massive carcass crashed into the sea with a deafening roar.
"Incredible... the Vice Admiral took down a Sea King that size with one hit," a Marine soldier said as he wiped the sea spray from his eyes.
Momonga landed back on the ship. "Let us keep an eye out," he said as he looked at the sea kings surrounding the ships.
After a few hours, the perfume-scented wind shifted. The Kuja Pirates' ship, pulled by the twin Yuda snakes, pulled alongside the Navy vessel. A figure stepped onto the railing, her long black hair cascading down her back like a silken waterfall.
"You guys have real guts anchoring here with all the sea kings," said an average-sized lady who had jet black hair parted on one side with an earring on each ear. She wore long black stockings with straps that reached her matching color panties. She had a decorative ring around her waist. Her top is a small orange flowered tank top with a window hole in the middle that seems almost too small for her size. She carries a quiver of arrows slung around her back with a snake. She also had an overcoat.
"They must be really strong and stupid Ran," added a slim woman of average height. She has long, bushy orange hair. She had a skimpy green top which appears to be made only from a long piece of cloth which barely covers each breast and tied down with a thin belt, black thigh-high stockings, and matching panties with red cloths buttoned at each side. She had a white cape.
"Maybe Daisy," Ran responded.
"Yes, we were attacked only moments ago in fact," Momonga responded. "The Sea Prism Stone in this warship may conceal our presence, but staying anchored here for so long is bound to attract attention visually," he added. He looked at them. "It is not easy but the agreement between the Kuja and the government forbids us from getting any closer than three kilometers from your island. Consequently we are forced to wait in the middle of the monster`s den," he added.
A Marine leaned and said, "Did you hear, they say the Kuja are specters that turn people to stone." he said.
"Get real," the Marine responded.
"Did you kill that sea king?" Ran asked as she pointed to the dead sea king.
"Sea Kings are hardly rare in the Grand Line," Momonga responded as he put his sword back. "I have not come to hunt Sea Kings," he added as he put his sword on his back. "I would like to finish my business here and leave this water quickly," he said.
"It looks like you have some skill," said a tall, fat woman wearing a tube top and a Kuja hat.
"He does Cosmos," Daisy giggled.
"I was getting tired," Momonga said. "At last you have returned, Kuja Pirates," he said. "I am Vice-Admiral Momonga of the Navy Headquarters," he said. His voice got louder. "Warlord of the Sea and Pirate Empress Boa Hancock," he said and paused."Show yourself. I have come for you," he remarked.
"So sorry but the Snake Princess is not coming" Ran responded. "She has sent her replies," she added.
"That is men for you. Such unsophisticated creatures," a member of the Kuja pirate said.
"I have not seen a live man in a long time," Daisy said. "Pirates and merchants always escape by boat when they see the Kuja flag," she added as she put her hands in the air and laughed.
"Stop that laugh Daisy ," a woman said. She was an average-height woman with skin bearing a slightly darker tan. Her black hair was cut short and tied back into a bun on top of her head. She wore an orange frilled black jacket with purple spiral snake patterns on it. She let it hang open and revealed her bosom and midriff. She also wears a loose fitting orange belt which has a yellow and black patterned cloth in front of her waist.
"Okay Rindo," Daisy laughed.
"We have seen her replies but she shows no indication of coming," Momonga said as he threw the newspaper.
Ran caught the newspaper.
Momonga continued. "A place and date has been decided for the public execution of Portgas D. Ace, 2nd Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates," he said. "There is no turning back," he added. "The World Government has issued strict orders to force the Seven Warlords of the Sea to assemble," he said as he held his sword. "Refuse and the agreement is off," he said. "Your title of Warlord will be revoked," he said as he narrowed his eyes.
"Did you hear that, Boa Hancock?" Momonga shouted.
At that moment, the doors on the deck of the ship opened. A very tall and slender woman with long black hair that extended past her waist with locks of hair that framed her face down to her chin and showed off her high forehead. She had dark brown eyes with long, voluminous eyelashes and pale skin. She has a narrow waist and very large breasts, and a pair of large golden serpent earrings. She wore a buttonless red V-neck blouse with a strap around her, that showed much of her chest and cleavage. She had a loose, red sarong that exposed her long, slender legs with the green symbol of the Kuja adorned on it. She had a white cape and red high heel pumps. Boa Hancock walked out the door. "Who placed this kitty in my path," Hancock said as she kicked the kitty.
The cat went flying and landed near Cosmos.
A member of the Kuja pirates picked the kitty up. "I am sorry, it was my fault," she said.
"Be more careful next time," Hancock said.
The Marines looked shocked. "So you have come out, Boa Hancock," Momonga said.
Boa Hancock walked towards the large sea snake and went on top of its head. She pointed towards the Marine battleship. The snake moved slowly towards them with Boa Hancock on top.
"Dont let you guard down," Momonga said.
"She's even more beautiful than the bounty posters!" a Marine soldier said as his heart began to beat visibly against his uniform.
"I've never seen a woman so radiant," another one added.
"My eyes, I can't look away!" another Marine said as he fell to his knees in a trance of adoration.
At that moment, two women jumped behind her. The woman to the left was a large woman who resembled a snake, with a curvaceous figure and large breasts. Her head was disproportionately large and wide to her body and her long tongue. She had sea green eyes. She wore a green bikini top with white irregular patterns, a white cape over it and green panties encircled by flaps at both sides of her hips. She wears brown boots and a green stocking on her left leg with a design which resembles the Kuja Pirates' Jolly Roger.
"That is Boa Sandersonia," a marine shouted. "She is so beautiful," he added as hearts were in his eyes.
Next to Sandersonia was a muscled, towering, stocky and large young woman. She had long wavy orange-brown hair. She had large breasts. She wore a pink bikini with Kuja designs and gold tassels that trail down to her pink loin cloth and purple flaps. She wears brown boots.She also wore a headband and necklace that is made out of pink flowers.
"That is their sister Boa Marigold," a Marine shouted.
"She could sit on me," another added.
"All my responses were lies," Hancock said. "I will not go to war," she added and paused. "But I want to keep my title of Warlord of the Sea," she said. "And, I also want all of the cargo on your ship," she added.
The Marines were in awe looking at her.
"What nonsense is this?" Momonga said. "You are not a selfish little child," he added. "Do you think we will accept such outrageous demands?" he shouted.
"Hurry and haul it over," a Marine shouted as he was carrying a box. He had hearts in his eyes.
"Why are you hauling our cargo?" Momonga shouted.
"Portgas D. Ace public execution is in over one week from today," Momonga added. "Fire Fist Ace`s life will be ended in the town square of Marineford, at the Navy Headquarters," he added.
"We are going to need the Warlords there as Whitebeard will be coming," Momonga added. "Will you lose the title of Warlord or accept the orders to assemble," he said.
"Decide now," Momonga said. "Time is nearly up," he added.
"I like the title of Warlord," Hancock responded. "I do not want it taken away," she added."But I hate the World Government and I do not want to obey its orders," she added. "How does this sound? The Marines who came to get me had a mysterious accident on the sea and were wiped out when they all turned to stone," she threatened.
"She is planning to do something," one Marine shouted as his cheeks were red.
"I have heard about this before," a Marine said. "A ship was attacked by the Kuja pirate ship and when it was discovered later only strange statues were found onboard," he added.
"That reminds me there were rumors that there was some creature turning people into stone," another Marine shouted.
"I already told you," Momonga said. "Your childish selfishness will not be allowed," he added.
"Big Sis had a terrible personality," Sandersonia said in a sinister voice. "But she gets everything she wants," she added.
"Yes there is a reason for that," Marigold added.
Hancock jumped onto the deck of the Marine ship."Do you know why that is?" she asked. "Because no matter what I do," she said. "Even if I kick a kitten, even if I pull your ears or even if I kill someone, everyone in the world would forgive me," she added. "Yes," she said as she put her hand on her chest. "Because I am beautiful," she stated.
The Kuja Pirate all erupted in cheer. They were fan girling over her. "Snake princess," Ran shouted.
"We will let you do anything," the Marines shouted as they waved their hands. "After all you are beautiful," they said.
"Stop all of you," Momonga shouted.
"For being charmed by me your guilty consciences will turn your bodies solid," Hancock said her hands formed a heart shape. "Mero Mero Mellow," she said as she fired a heart-shaped beam from them. The beam travelled through the air and hit the several men turning them into stone.
Momonga quickly stabbed his hand with his blade. He felt the pain of being stabbed. There was blood leaking from his hand.
"I would expect no less from a navy vice admiral," Hancock said as she walked towards him. "You used pain to block out the evil thoughts," she added."You have much experience indeed," she said. "However I cannot say the same about your men," he said.
"Fools," Momonga said as he looked around and saw they were turned into statues.
"It looks like you are the only one left," Hancock said.
"One and zero are not the same," Momonga said as he took his sword out.
Hancock looked at Momonga and smiled. "We will be taking everything," she said.
At that moment, the Kuja pirates boarded the Marine ship and took all their cargo.
Momonga looked like they took all the cargo in a matter of moments. "Boa Hancock. I will wait here as long as I can. I will not return empty handed. If you don't appear in 5 days time. The agreement is off," he shouted.
Hancock looked at him from her ship. "As you wish," Hancock responded. "Set sail to go home," she added.
"Yes Captain," Ran responded as she saluted her. The Kuja ship started to sail towards Amazon Lily.
