Hancock also began to persuade her two sisters. As girls, who would want to endure a monster-like body? Now that there was a chance to restore their appearance, Hancock naturally didn't want the two of them to miss it.
Hancock said: "Now that I am here on Amazon Lily, don't worry, there won't be any problems. After all, I am the most beautiful woman."
Seeing the two still hesitating, Hancock grew a bit angry: "What, do you not believe in my strength? Do I have to knock you both unconscious?"
Hera said: "Don't worry, I will help Hancock. With the two of us protecting this place, there's absolutely no problem. And I guarantee that the new devil fruits we find will definitely be stronger than these two."
Sandersonia and Marigold looked at each other, nodded, and finally agreed to Hera's proposal.
Seeing the two agree, Hera expanded the City of Devouring Time, turning it into two large spheres that enveloped them. She looked at Hancock, who had a worried expression:
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. It will be over soon."
As the two large spheres gradually shrank, two Devil Fruits—the Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Python and the Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: King Cobra—gradually formed within the City of Devouring Time.
Sandersonia and Marigold gradually returned to their normal body sizes. Once the fruits were fully formed, Hera withdrew the coverage of the City of Devouring Time, and the two, now in a deep sleep, emerged from the black spheres.
Hera sensed their presence and said: "Don't worry, they are fine. They're just a bit exhausted from suddenly losing their Devil Fruits. They'll be okay after some rest."
The two, now back to normal, had faces similar to Hancock's. Their height was only slightly shorter than hers, but their hair colors hadn't changed, remaining green and orange.
Ain controlled the clothes to wrap around their bodies as they floated in the air, following the group.
After arriving at Kuja City, Hancock pulled Hera tightly, placing her on her lap as she sat on the dragon throne. Hugging Hera from behind, she asked: "Is there something you came here for? I will definitely support you with all my heart."
Feeling the softness behind her, Hera gave an awkward smile. If looks could kill, she would have been hacked into a thousand pieces by her companions sitting below.
However, she still explained her purpose: "I heard that the awakening and application of Haki are taught here. Three of my companions have not yet awakened their Haki, and I want them to learn here."
She continued: "To deal with the battles ahead, the others also need to become stronger."
Hancock said proudly: "Don't worry, we have the best teachers for Haki here. Every warrior of the kingdom is skilled in using Haki."
Hearing this, Ain was a bit surprised. If it was truly as Hancock said, then this country's military force was not to be underestimated.
Hera also felt it was a bit ridiculous. In the Marine, only a Vice Admiral could master Haki proficiently. But then she thought about how the top-tier power of the Amazon Lily Kingdom was only Hancock herself, and it didn't seem quite so absurd anymore.
Perona, on the other hand, was concerned about another aspect: "If this place is all women, what about the population?"
Hancock said: "Sometimes Kuja women leave this place to go to the outside world to conceive. When a woman of the Kuja Tribe becomes pregnant, she will only give birth to females."
Reiju was very surprised. To her, this was not scientific at all. How could the union of two people only result in female offspring?
As Hancock clapped her hands, the serving maids came forward, bringing various foods. Hancock said: "Since it's your first day here, let's have a welcome banquet first. We'll talk about other matters tomorrow."
Saying this, she picked up a grape peeled by a maid and brought it to the mouth of Hera, who was in her arms.
Seeing this scene, Kuina, who could no longer bear it, said: "A banquet is fine, but can you please put our Captain down first?"
Hancock hugged Hera's arm even tighter. She looked at Kuina; she had noticed from the start that Kuina carried Hera's scent.
At this moment, their gazes met officially, making Hera, caught in the middle, afraid to look up, so she just focused on eating.
Hancock said: "Hera is the one I have chosen. Naturally, she should sit in my lap."
After their gazes clashed for a long time, both looked at Hera together. Feeling their gazes, Hera pretended not to notice and just kept eating.
In the end, it was Kuina, who wasn't on her home turf, who backed down first. After giving the ostrich-acting Hera a sharp glare, she started eating on her own, thinking to herself:
"I'll eat you out of house and home, and then you'll be begging us to leave." However, she soon became lost in the deliciousness of the local specialty, 'Gorgonzola Cheese Sea King Pasta'.
After dinner, Hancock led everyone to the bathhouse at the top of the Kuja City Tenshu. After lying on the ship for several days, Hera submerged herself completely in the bath, leaving only her head to blow bubbles.
Relaxed all over, Hera felt a force coming from behind. Her waist was grabbed as she was picked up. Before she could react, Hera's upper body slumped over the other person's arm.
It turned out that while Hera and her companions were completely relaxed, Hancock had taken the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Hera.
Feeling the height from the ground and realizing Hancock was holding her, Hera began to struggle, her hands and feet flailing in the air: "It's cold! Let me go back!"
Hancock blocked Hera's mouth with her other hand and, while no one was paying attention, slipped away with her.
At that moment, the others realized Hera had disappeared. Sandersonia quickly said: "Miss Hera just went to another place," dispelling everyone's concerns.
Kuina looked around and, seeing that Hancock had also disappeared, became suspicious. She wanted to release her Observation Haki to sense them, but was stopped by Sandersonia and Marigold.
"Miss, isn't it a bit inappropriate to use sensing in the pool?"
Hearing Marigold's words, Kuina gave up on searching for Hera.
Sandersonia and Marigold looked at each other, and after confirming their thoughts, they also quietly slipped away, leaving only the crew of the argo in the bath.
On the other side, the abducted Hera only felt a burst of rapid movement before she was thrown onto a soft place.
Because she realized the person who took her was Hancock, Hera didn't resist.
Hancock looked at the naked Hera on the bed, her eyes turning into heart shapes.
Compared to Hancock, Hera's figure was like an elementary school student caught by Lady Dimitrescu. At this moment, feeling her chastity was at stake, Hera pulled over a quilt to cover herself and said, trembling:
"This isn't right! Why the attack right from the start? It wasn't like this in the manga!"
