Sea Calendar Year 1520.
Amazon Lily, Palace Bathroom.
The dense steam was like a milky white veil, drifting over the vast white marble bath.
Boa Hancock.
Or rather, the soul from another world currently occupying this body.
Was soaking stiffly in the comfortably warm water.
His head was buzzing, as if it had been violently struck by a Sea King.
Just a few minutes ago, he was a miserable corporate drone who had died from overworking late at night in front of a computer.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he had become the world-renowned Empress of the pirate world, pirate empress Boa Hancock!
He—no, it was "she" now.
Her gaze drifted downward uncontrollably; in the warm water, the contours of that body were faintly visible.
Her skin was as white as fine mutton-fat jade, and water droplets slid down her exquisite curves, inducing a slight shiver.
This... this was simply the Creator's most perfect masterpiece!
A male consciousness deep within her soul was roaring wildly, and a surge of heat suddenly rushed to her nose.
"Ugh..."
Hancock quickly tilted her head back and pressed her fingers firmly against her nose, wailing inwardly.
This is lethal!
Getting a nosebleed from looking at her own body—who would believe that if it got out?
No, this body is "mine" now!
This identity swap is too intense; my heart can't take it.
"Elder Sister, what's wrong? Is the water temperature not right?"
A concerned voice sounded beside her.
Boa Hancock barely managed to suppress her surging blood and turned her head.
Kneeling on either side of her were two tall women—her two younger sisters.
Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold.
The second eldest, Sandersonia, handed over a soft dry towel.
Her wheat-colored skin glowed healthily under the light, and her physique was well-proportioned and athletic, exuding a sense of power.
Boa Hancock subconsciously glanced over.
Hmm, her physique is well-maintained; as expected of Empress Snake's sister.
When her gaze shifted to the third sister, Marigold, Boa Hancock's brow twitched almost imperceptibly.
Marigold was holding a plate of fresh fruit, a simple and honest smile on her face.
It was just that her figure... was indeed even rounder than in her memories.
Sigh.
It seems the food on Amazon Lily is a bit too good; I'll have to find an opportunity to remind her to watch her weight.
After all, health is most important.
But this silly, honest look is actually quite cute.
"It is nothing. This Empress is just... a little tired."
Hancock mimicked the lazy and arrogant tone of the Empress from her memories and waved her hand dismissively.
As the voice left her mouth.
That unique and extremely seductive tone gave even her goosebumps.
She leaned against the smooth wall of the bath, letting the warm water envelop her body.
Her gaze went blank as she looked up at the dome carved with snake patterns.
In the massive bathroom, there was only the sound of gentle ripples and the faint shouts of the island's Female Warriors training in the distance.
Amazon Lily, the Kuja Country—nothing but girls as far as the eye can see!
As a veteran shut-in who had been single since birth for over twenty years in his past life, there was now an unreal ecstasy and an indescribable sense of excitement deep within his soul.
This wasn't just transmigration; it was like falling into heaven... provided she adapted to this body first, of course.
And that troublesome "hoof of the soaring dragon" on her back.
Just as Hancock was immersed in the complex emotion of "how beautiful my kingdom is."
A series of hurried yet respectful footsteps approached from afar.
"Hebihime!"
A Kuja Guardian knelt on one knee behind the gauze curtain outside the bath, her voice tense.
"Marineford has sent an urgent decree!"
Marigold stood up and took the decree. After glancing at it, her expression changed slightly, and she turned to report.
"Elder Sister, it's a Mandatory Summons! The Marine require you to depart immediately for Mary Geoise to participate in a new round of the Seven Warlords of the Sea meeting. It's said there are important topics to discuss."
Those old geezers from the World Government again!
Hancock snorted coldly in her heart.
In her memories, the Empress felt an extreme loathing for the Marine and the World Government.
If not to protect Amazon Lily, she wouldn't have deigned to serve as a Shichibukai at all.
Now they wanted her to go to Mary Geoise, the place that held her darkest memories?
What a joke!
She didn't even bother to ask for the details of the decree.
She lazily raised a wet arm and rubbed her temples with her fingertips.
Her red lips parted, speaking with a casual arrogance.
"A meeting? Empress has no interest in such noisy occasions lately. Besides..."
"Empress is trying out new techniques and it is not suitable for me to travel far. Reply to the Marine and say Empress is unwell and will not be going."
Her tone was light, yet it carried an unquestionable decisiveness.
Sandersonia and Marigold exchanged a look, both somewhat surprised.
Although Elder Sister had always been willful.
But refusing a Mandatory Summons from Marineford so bluntly was a first.
This would likely lead to considerable trouble.
But they never questioned Hancock's orders, and Sandersonia immediately responded.
"Yes, Elder Sister. We will go and reply at once."
However, the moment Hancock finished speaking.
A cold, mechanical voice rang out in her mind.
"Ding! Detected that the Host has publicly refused the summons from Marineford with an arrogant attitude and unruly behavior, successfully drawing intense attention and potential resentment from the Marine high command. Judged to have gained the attention of the first high-level potential Simp!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for activating the hidden condition: The Alternative Persistence of the Strong!"
"Simp System officially activated and bound! Host: Boa Hancock!"
Hancock suddenly sat bolt upright in the water, her stunning face filled with shock and confusion.
What the hell? Simp System?
I transmigrated as the Empress and got such an unreliable cheat?
The more Simps... the stronger I get?
What kind of bullshit setting is this!
"System initialization complete! Newbie gift pack has been issued. Please check it, Host!"
"Currently available skill unlocked: [Charm Eyes (Beginner)]: Slightly increases the favorability and infatuation level of those who make eye contact. The effect depends on the target's willpower."
"Note: The birth of a Simp begins with an inadvertent heartbeat~"
"Issuing the first main quest: [The Simp Squad Begins to Take Shape]. Quest Requirement: Successfully develop 10 'Beginner Simps' within the vicinity of Amazon Lily."
"Definition: Individuals who hold an intense infatuation for the Host and are willing to unconditionally execute simple commands."
"Quest Reward: Slight physical enhancement, Skill Point x1."
"A stream of information flooded into her mind, and Hancock felt like her brain was about to fry."
She looked at her reflection in the water, a face that could captivate all living beings.
Recalling her arrogant display when she refused the Marine just now, an absurd yet exciting idea gradually became clear.
Refusing the summons from Marineford counts as... attracting the attention of potential Simps?
This system's judgment criteria are way too bizarre!
"Then, if it's on this Amazon Lily full of women... The corners of Hancock's mouth slowly curled into a smile that could outshine the world."
"This seems... a bit interesting?"
She gently toyed with the petals on the water's surface, her gaze gradually becoming playful.
"Sandersonia, Marigold."
"We are here, Elder Sister!"
The two sisters immediately replied respectfully.
"Pass down the order."
Hancock's voice returned to its usual laziness.
"Tomorrow at noon, Empress will personally review the training of the Kuja Guardians at the Palace Square. Have everyone... prepare well."
