CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 181: TAKING AMAZON LILY, ESTABLISHING THE GOLDEN NATION

"...Do as you please!"

"You are the king of this country. The rise and fall of the country is for you to decide."

"I only hope that you will not regret doing this."

The day after Hancock returned to Amazon Lily, she announced her decision to lead the Amazon Lily Kingdom to join Gran Tesoro.

Hearing this news.

The citizens, like the warriors of the Kuja Pirates, had no objection.

Wherever Lady Snake Princess goes, they will go.

Whatever Lady Snake Princess decides, they will decide.

Not only that, but some of the citizens who had long been curious about the world outside the Calm Belt even raised their hands in approval with excited expressions and let out cheers.

In Karl’s impression, Gloriosa, who should have been the only one to dissuade Hancock, did not stop her.

She only left a sentence, tacitly approving Hancock’s decision, and left the royal palace.

Karl had originally thought that Hancock would have a dispute with Gloriosa, and that he might even have to personally intervene to get her to agree to Hancock bringing Amazon Lily to join Gran Tesoro.

He hadn’t expected it to be completed so easily!

Little did he know...

Karl had somewhat underestimated his reputation and status.

In this world, not everyone had the backing of the World’s Strongest Man like Neptune.

Why was Doflamingo willing to do whatever it took to board Karl’s giant ship?

It was for nothing more than to gain his protection.

As the former, former, former empress who had lived outside for a long time, no one in the Amazon Lily Kingdom knew better than Gloriosa what an Emperor of the Sea meant on this great sea.

If they wanted to occupy a country, they didn’t even need to personally intervene; they only needed to send a notice to that country.

If they dared to refuse, then they would have to face the wrath of the Emperor of the Sea.

At that time, not only would they lose their royal power, but the entire country might suffer a devastating disaster.

Island-destroying combat power represented the supreme status in this world!

Gloriosa, who came from a fighting race, knew that her opposition was completely useless.

What was fortunate...

Hancock was not being forced by Karl to join Gran Tesoro; she had fallen in love with him and was willing to bring the entire country to become his power.

Gloriosa, who knew the terror of lovesickness and also knew of Karl’s legendary achievements, could not possibly intervene to stop her, whether for the sake of the country or for the sake of the country’s king.

It was just that...

If the Amazon Lily Kingdom were to join them, then in the future, the long-standing Kuja tribe might no longer be a holy land that forbade men from entering.

Logically, Gloriosa should have stopped her.

But in the year that Hancock joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Gloriosa ultimately could not bring herself to speak.

The advantage of the Calm Belt no longer existed in the face of warships that could freely cross it.

A legal pirate was, in the end, still a pirate.

When Hancock grew old, or when Mary Geoise abolished the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Kuja Island might be besieged by the Marines.

Rather than clinging to the old things, staying in the Calm Belt and stagnating, waiting for the era to eliminate them.

It was better to join the youngest and most powerful Emperor of the Sea in history, and with the help of the Float-Float Fruit user in his camp, let Amazon Lily leave the remote and backward place of the Calm Belt, proactively contact the outside world, and let them progress and become stronger.

And so...

Nami controlled Amazon Lily without any obstruction.

Under the admiring and amazed gazes of the Kuja warriors and citizens, she controlled the entire island to float.

End of July.

Amazon Lily met up with Gran Tesoro in the first half of the Grand Line.

Seeing an island descend from the sky, except for the knowledgeable guests who had followed them from the New World, the rich, nobles, and pirates from the various islands of the first half of the Grand Line were all startled by this scene at first.

Not until the island stopped, only floating above Gran Tesoro.

Did these people react and realize that in this city of gold, there was a Float-Float Fruit user.

Letting Amazon Lily float in the air and move along with Gran Tesoro.

Karl’s group and the Kuja Pirates, on the other hand, boarded the large galleon and the Perfume Yuda, and, with a huge amount of gold, returned to the city of gold.

That’s right, a huge amount of gold!

The reason Karl had taken so long to return was because on the way back, he had made a trip to the sky island 10,000 meters above and had plundered all the gold of Upper Yard.

The City of Gold of four hundred years ago naturally had more than just the little bit of gold that Karl had taken.

Besides the gold that Enel had used to build the Ark Maxim, only a small part of the gold had been eaten and digested by the Lord of the Sky.

In fact, there was a large amount of gold buried in the ruins.

The golden pillar that Bellamy had given to Doflamingo in the original story was one of them.

Karl, who was preparing to expand Gran Tesoro, might have to buy gold from all over the world in the future, just like Gildo Tesoro.

Because from now on, Gran Tesoro was no longer a golden ship or a city of gold, but—the Golden Nation.

Next, the guests of Gran Tesoro and the lookouts of the major powers were fortunate enough to witness the expansion and change of Gran Tesoro.

Nami used her Float-Float Fruit ability to liquefy the walls of the golden ship and remove the walls that blocked the view of the sea.

For a time, everyone in the city of gold could see the vast, boundless sea and the giant island turtle.

At this moment, as if sitting on a lonely boat, they only felt so small.

But soon, their sense of security returned.

A floating island descended from the sky and, like two attracting magnets, pieced together with the city of gold.

The mixed land of earth and mangrove, as well as the golden land, fused with the land of Amazon Lily.

Then, Nami, who had transformed into a creator, along with the world’s top designers, began to modify the newborn island.

First, they fused the two circles, which looked one large and one small when viewed from above, to form one circle.

Because the city of gold was only ten thousand meters long, after the fusion, Amazon Lily naturally occupied the largest area.

Then, the two sisters, Nami and Nojiko, worked together to melt the huge amount of gold brought back from the sky island, as well as the surplus gold in the storeroom, and coated half of the new island with a layer of gold.

If viewed from above, one would see a circular island, one side golden, and the other side of ordinary color.

One side was the world’s largest entertainment city, and the other side was the holy land in the hearts of all men—the Amazon Lily of the Kuja.

But, this was only the beginning
