Chapter 13: Chapter 13 : A Safe haven and Setting off
Alex stayed a few more days in Amazon Lily, getting to know the women there better.
The vibrant jungle surrounding the village pulsed with life, and each day brought new experiences and deeper connections.
The women of Amazon Lily were fierce and independent, their strength evident in their laughter and camaraderie.
As he immersed himself in their world, he found himself captivated not just by their bodies but by their stories, their resilience, and the bonds they shared.
His mornings began with sex and ended with sex, a gentle rhythm that set the tone for his entire day.
Thought most of his time was spent with Hancock only. As though the other women in Amazon Lily were also beautiful, there was no one like Hancock.
The way she moved, the way she looked at him with those piercing eyes, ignited a fire within him that he had never known before.
No matter how many times Alex had sex with Hancock, he would always want more.
The sun was just beginning to rise over Amazon Lily, casting warm hues of orange and gold across the island's lush jungles and pristine shores.
Alex stood at the edge of the harbor, gazing at the now-transformed ship that seemed to hum with life, its sleek, obsidian-like frame glinting under the morning light.
Beside him, Boa Hancock stood silently, watching him with her usual mix of admiration and curiosity.
Alex turned to Hancock, a confident smirk on his face. "It's time to set sail."
Hancock tilted her head slightly. "Are we taking any of my warriors? Surely we need a crew for a proper voyage."
Alex shook his head, his eyes glinting with pride. "This ship doesn't need a crew. It's alive, an extension of my will. It can steer itself, defend itself, and navigate better than any sailor alive. For now, it's just you and me."
Her expression softened, a faint blush rising to her cheeks. "Only you could create something so magnificent, Alex."
Before boarding, Alex turned back to face the island.
Amazon Lily had been his first conquest, but he had no intention of letting it fall into the hands of anyone else.
He closed his eyes, his powers thrumming to life as he stretched his influence across the entire island.
The waters surrounding Amazon Lily shimmered, and an invisible barrier began to form.
It wasn't visible to the naked eye, but Alex could feel its presence, a protective shield that would ensure the safety of the island.
"No one will be able to reach Amazon Lily unless I allow it," Alex declared. "Not the Marines, not pirates, no one."
Hancock's eyes widened in awe as she felt the shift in the air. "You've made our home invincible."
Alex turned to her, a satisfied smile on his lips. "I promised I'd keep it safe, didn't I? Now, let's go. We have a crew to build."
The two boarded the ship, and as if sensing Alex's intent, the vessel came alive.
The sails unfurled, glowing faintly, and the ship began to glide smoothly out of the harbor without any manual input.
Hancock watched in amazement as the ship navigated itself with perfect precision.
From the shore, the other Kuja Pirates and the warriors of Amazon Lily gathered to bid farewell.
A crowd of strong, proud women stood on the beach, their expressions a mixture of respect, admiration, and a longing emotion.
Among them, the crew of the former Kuja pirates stood at attention, their loyalty to Hancock evident even in her absence.
"Good luck, Emperor Alex, Empress Hancock!" One of the warriors shouted, her voice carrying over the waves.
"We'll guard Amazon Lily with our lives until you return!" another called, raising her weapon high.
Hancock, standing at the railing beside Alex, raised her hand in a graceful wave.
Her usual regal demeanor was softened by a rare smile as she addressed her people.
"I leave the island in your hands. Serve and protect it as you always have. And remember, none may enter without my or Alex's permission."
The Kuja Pirates nodded firmly, their confidence bolstered by Emperor Alex's earlier display of power.
They had seen their island transformed into a fortress no enemy could breach, and their Empress was sailing away with their Emperor, who had made it so.
"Empress Hancock!" Marguerite, one of her trusted warriors, stepped forward, her voice tinged with emotion.
"May your journey bring you glory and success. We'll be waiting for your return."
Hancock's gaze softened as she looked at Marguerite and the others. "You have my trust. I know you will not fail me."
Alex observed the scene, his smirk fading into a more genuine expression.
The loyalty and love these women held for Hancock and him was evident.
As the ship moved further from the shore, the warriors raised their hands in unison, a silent salute to their departing leaders.
Some of the younger ones waved enthusiastically, their faces lit with hope and admiration. Others stood stoically, their pride in their leaders unshakable.
"So, where do we go first?" she asked, standing beside Alex at the bow.
Alex leaned against the railing, the wind tugging at his hair. "Cocoyashi Village. My first pick is Nojiko, Nami's sister."
Hancock raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Not Nami herself? Why her sister?"
Alex smirked. "Nami will come in time, but Nojiko has something special. She's calm, strong, and fiercely loyal. She's the kind of person I want as the foundation of my crew."
Hancock nodded thoughtfully, her confidence in Alex unwavering. "If that is your choice, then I trust your judgment."
As the ship sailed smoothly through the Grand Line, Alex couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
With Hancock by his side and his invincible ship beneath his feet, his journey was truly beginning.
The day was close where he would have all the women that he had liked in the anime by his side.
"I hope Nojiko is ready," Alex said with a grin. "Because her life is about to change forever."
