"Don't worry! She's out of danger now!"
In the Kuja infirmary, after the doctor finished bandaging Luffy, she looked at the beautiful Amazon warrior with short blond hair, then at the heavily muscled Jovian, and spoke.
"Hoo…"
"Relax. Your sister is fine."
After receiving that answer, the beautiful Amazon warrior with short blond hair looked at Jovian gently and smiled softly.
"You've really helped me out."
When Jovian heard that, he gave the beautiful warrior in front of him a thumbs-up. Perhaps it was because the woman before him, and all the women on this island, had never left the island before, but right now, they had mistaken both Jovian and Luffy for women, because they had never seen men before.
Since they had never seen men, they subconsciously treated Jovian and Luffy as women, even though they did realize that Jovian and Luffy looked somewhat strange compared with them.
"She's my actual sister…"
"My best sister. I'll leave her safety in your hands."
"To repay you…"
"I can give you money."
As Jovian spoke, he put down the backpack he was carrying and took out a large stack of Berries.
"What are these…"
The women inside the room looked at the Berries in Jovian's backpack, and their gazes trembled as shock appeared on their faces.
"Heh heh…"
Jovian chuckled softly. He knew that no one in this world could remain calm in front of Berries, especially in front of hundreds of millions of them.
"Are these picture books or something?"
However, the next thing the Amazon warrior said left Jovian completely stunned.
"What!?"
Jovian's eyes went wide. He had thought through a thousand possibilities, but had forgotten one thing. The Amazon Lily Kingdom was not connected to foreign countries, and because of the Calm Belt, very few people could come here, so this place did not use Berries, the common currency issued by the World Government, for transactions.
Instead of using these Berries, shiny things would probably attract the girls here far more effectively.
"Sorry, that was my mistake. Please wait a moment…"
After Jovian reacted, he immediately put the Berries back into his backpack. Then he grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground.
Rustle, rustle…
Rustle, rustle…
Right in front of everyone, Jovian kept placing the sand and soil in his hands and rubbing it together, again and again, without stopping.
"Hmm!?"
The Amazon warriors stared wide-eyed at Jovian's incomprehensible movements. They racked their brains, trying to figure out what Jovian was planning to do.
"Done!"
About fifteen minutes later, Jovian finally stopped. He opened his hands in front of everyone.
A diamond the size of a pigeon egg lay quietly in Jovian's palm.
"Is that magic?"
All the Amazon warriors in the room widened their eyes. They could not understand what Jovian had done. All they knew was that Jovian had turned sand and dirt into a sparkling gemstone.
"This beautiful gem is a gift for the beautiful you."
Jovian smiled slightly and placed the diamond in the hand of the Amazon warrior with short yellow hair.
"Oh…"
The female warrior with short yellow hair, a lovely face, and a graceful figure looked at the diamond in her hand. Her heart thumped wildly, over and over. She was beyond excited. Even a resilient warrior like her could not help being entranced after seeing something this beautiful.
"It's so beautiful…"
"This gem is as beautiful as our Empress and shines just as brilliantly!"
The yellow-haired warrior murmured to herself. At this moment, in her heart, this diamond already possessed a beauty that could rival the Empress of Amazon Lily.
"It's just an ordinary gem. Compared with the beautiful Empress, it still falls short."
"If you want, I can keep giving you more."
Jovian smiled. Diamonds were utterly worthless to him. The reason he had not previously made money by selling diamonds was, first, because producing diamonds in large quantities would lower their value, and second, because finding suitable distributors and handling all that nonsense was too troublesome. He was too lazy to deal with things like that. But now, using these diamonds to fool… cough, to please the girls of Amazon Lily was something he was willing to spend time on.
"You have a lot more?"
The yellow-haired warrior looked at Jovian in surprise. She had originally planned to return this beautiful gem to Jovian, because even she felt unworthy in front of it. She was truly too embarrassed to accept something this precious. But… if Jovian had many of them, then she supposed she could accept it after all.
"Of course. You can accept this diamond without the slightest guilt, because…"
"I can give every girl in the entire Amazon Lily Kingdom a diamond!"
Jovian smiled at the yellow-haired warrior. After all, diamonds were not worth anything to him.
"Really? That's wonderful!"
"Everyone will be so happy…"
The yellow-haired warrior, pure and guileless like a young deer, could not hide the joy in her expression. She was happy that she could keep this diamond, and she was also happy that her sisters could receive gifts like this too.
"Leave it to me."
"However, please wait a moment first. This diamond still needs a little processing."
Jovian gently patted the young warrior's head, then took the diamond back from her hand. At the same time, he raised the middle finger of her left hand and carefully examined it.
"What are you doing?"
For some reason, the yellow-haired warrior found herself drawn to Jovian's appearance. At the same time, she felt a strange heat inside her. She always felt that Jovian seemed special, somehow different from them.
"You'll understand when you see it."
Jovian smiled at the yellow-haired warrior. Then he picked an arrow from her quiver, directly pinched off its metal arrowhead, and rubbed it between both hands, turning the metal into a thin strand. Then he twisted it into a ring. After fixing the pigeon-egg-sized diamond onto the ring, Jovian added a smaller loop beneath it and gently slipped it onto the middle finger of the yellow-haired warrior's left hand.
"This is…"
The beautiful yellow-haired warrior stared at the ring on her left hand with wide eyes. She discovered that the diamond had actually become one with her.
"This way, you won't lose it."
"Do you like it?"
Jovian looked at the incredibly pure warrior before him and smiled.
"Mm-hmm!"
The warrior kept nodding. She stretched out her hand, admired the ring on her middle finger, and revealed a sweet smile.
"Wear it without worry. This thing is very sturdy. Even if you hacked at it with metal, it would be difficult to shatter this gem."
"Unless something unexpected happens, this gem can stay with you for the rest of your life."
Jovian remembered a line. A diamond is forever, and one lasts forever. Though it was a little exaggerated, it did prove from another angle that diamonds really were quite sturdy. After all, a diamond was essentially the hardest natural substance.
Although Jovian's diamonds leaned more toward artificial diamonds, at their core, they were all just arrangements of carbon atoms. There was not much difference.
After the short yellow-haired warrior bounced happily out of the room and announced Jovian's deeds to the entire island, making everyone aware of him, Jovian's work began.
One sparkling, incomparably beautiful diamond after another was handed out from Jovian's hands.
Although Jovian gave everyone a ring, he did not put all of them on the middle finger of their left hand. If they were pretty, he put it on the middle finger of their left hand. If they were not pretty, he put it on their pinky.
Jovian was a very picky person!
After Jovian began handing out diamonds in bulk, the entire Amazon Lily Kingdom was alarmed.
Some warriors even abandoned their posts and deliberately ran over to Jovian, all for the sake of obtaining a sparkling ring.
And news of this also successfully reached the ears of a certain peerless beauty.
"Your Majesty, it is said that a mysterious witch has suddenly appeared on the island. She can create sparkling gemstones and is distributing them to everyone on the island for free. Many people on the island have already gone to receive diamonds. Would you like to go and take a look as well?"
Inside a luxurious palace, a woman wearing armor knelt on one knee before a thin veil and spoke softly to the peerless woman behind it.
"Oh?"
When that peerless woman heard this, her eyes narrowed. An invisible aura swirled around her. Without question, this was a woman who stood at the summit of the sea in both appearance and authority. She also possessed the disposition of a ruler that only one in a million people could have. She was a user of Conqueror's Haki.
Yes, this woman with creamy skin, pearl-like eyes, long hair like silk, and a perfect figure that seemed as though God had carved it with painstaking care was none other than Boa Hancock, known as the Pirate Empress, one of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea. She was also the most beautiful woman on the sea.
"I understand. You may leave."
Hancock gave a soft order, indicating that she already knew about the matter.
"As you command!"
When the female official heard this, she nodded softly. She looked at the ring on her left hand, then happily walked away to continue admiring it.
"A witch who can create gems out of thin air?"
"Heh heh…"
"A Devil Fruit user?"
"Distributing them to everyone on the island for free?"
"Is she planning to win over the people, then overthrow me?"
"I will never, ever forgive anyone who tries to overthrow me!"
After the female official left, the Empress bit the thumbnail of her right hand and began thinking. After a brief moment of thought, she reached a shocking conclusion.
"Sister, should we go finish off that hateful woman?"
After hearing the Empress muttering to herself, Hancock's two younger sisters came to her side at the same time.
"Then let the three of us sisters go and see exactly what trick that hateful woman is trying to play!"
Having already treated Jovian as an opponent, Hancock decided to go personally, expose Jovian's trick, and properly defend her authority.
"This one is yours…"
"This one is yours…"
"You get one too!"
"Everyone, don't rush. Every one of you will get one!"
Jovian was smiling as he made rings for every beautiful girl. After all, because of the place these girls lived, they could never freely fall in love for their entire lives. It was truly too tragic. Someone once sang a line about how a woman without love was the most pitiful of all. Yes, everything Jovian was doing at this moment was for love, all kinds of love!
"The Empress has arrived!"
Just as Jovian was happily giving out diamonds, a loud cry rang out like an oriole singing at full voice.
Squads of fully armed guards separated the crowd.
A woman with an endless aura and world-class beauty slowly walked toward Jovian.
"Let me see for myself who is doing such boring things!"
Boa Hancock placed one hand on her hip. Like a fairy from a painting, she was so beautiful that she seemed unlike anything that should exist in the mortal world.
"Beautiful! Truly beautiful!"
Jovian looked at Boa Hancock walking toward him and gave her a thumbs-up. To be fair, Hancock's looks were genuinely powerful. Add in that faint, barely perceptible charm of hers, and he dared guarantee that ninety-nine percent of transmigrators would turn to stone the moment they saw Hancock for the first time.
"So you are the woman using diamonds to deceive my subjects…"
Hancock walked up to Jovian. She looked him up and down, then froze, because Hancock was absolutely certain that Jovian was not a woman at all.
"A man!?"
The corner of Hancock's eye twitched slightly. She could not understand how a man like Jovian had reached this island. And even if he had reached the island, not a single person had reported it to her. What a terrifying thing that was! It meant that the entire defense of the Kuja had grown lax. That was unforgivable!
"Uh…"
"It's the Snake Princess…"
In the crowd, an old woman saw Hancock and began trying to flee.
"Hmm!?"
Unfortunately, the old woman's figure could not escape Hancock's precise Observation Haki.
"You damn old hag!"
"It's one thing if the others didn't know he was a man!"
"Don't tell me you didn't know either!"
"Why didn't you expose this man's identity?"
"Why didn't you come find me?"
Hancock very roughly dragged the old woman out of the crowd and scolded her with no respect for the elderly whatsoever.
Clatter, clatter…
As the hunched old woman was pulled out of the crowd by Hancock, a large pile of glittering diamonds fell from the tiny old woman's clothes.
"I…"
"I did notice he was a man!"
"But, but…"
"He gave me far too much!"
The old woman explained tearfully. She really had planned to report Jovian, but Jovian had given her a treasure chest filled entirely with diamonds. Who could possibly resist that? Besides, Jovian was so handsome, and he had not done anything excessive. On the contrary, every girl was very happy, so she had not exposed Jovian.
Granny Nyon's expression carried a touch of innocence.
"Get lost!"
Hancock was furious inside and threw Granny Nyon high into the air.
"You bastard who abandoned Amazon Lily for a man when you were young, sooner or later, you'll die because of a man!"
Hancock shouted angrily at Granny Nyon, who was also the former empress from three generations ago.
