One Piece: Hashirama Template

In less than half a day, Link returned to Amazon Lily with a ship full of cloth and steel.

When Sandersonia and Marigold organized the Kuja warriors to unload the goods from the ship and announced to the entire nation that the male master, who ranked above the Empress, would be distributing free clothes and steel weapons, the entire Amazon Lily kingdom was in an uproar. All the citizens' favorability towards the male master who had conquered Lady Snake Princess soared.

Winning the favor of the Kuja women was that easy.

After all, Amazon Lily was too small. It had no mineral resources and was located in the Calm Belt, with its neighbor being an island ruled by ferocious beasts.

Without machinery, making clothes not only required manual labor but also sufficient materials.

Therefore, the women only had a few sets of clothes.

To save fabric, these clothes were extremely revealing.

To avoid ruining them in battle, they were often reluctant to wear them, spending most of their time in undergarments made of animal hides.

On the entire island, only the Kuja warriors who joined the Kuja Pirates and could go on expeditions with the Empress were the wealthiest.

Not only could they see the outside world, but they could also taste foreign delicacies, encounter the legendary men, and possess a large number of beautiful clothes and weapons.

Now, what the members of the Kuja Pirates had, everyone would have.

The people's hearts were naturally won over!

Seeing how much Link cared for the citizens of Amazon Lily, Gloriosa was completely relieved.

Thus, this old woman, who had lived through the end of the Rocks era and had stayed in the Calm Belt to protect Amazon Lily after overcoming her lovesickness, finally decided to leave the island again and take a walk.

But before leaving Amazon Lily, Gloriosa sought out Hancock, preparing to have a good talk with her.

Her very first words short-circuited Hancock's brain: "Snake Princess, this old woman is going out to visit old friends. When you marry The Impaler, remember to inform me."

"M-m-marriage?" Hancock was momentarily stunned.

Seeing Hancock's expression, Gloriosa couldn't help but frown. "What? You gave him the entire island and the Kuja Pirates. Did he not promise to marry you?"

"Marriage... marriage..."

As if she hadn't heard Gloriosa's words, Hancock kept muttering those two words. An unknown scene flashed in her mind, and her small face turned beet red at a visible rate. White steam rose from her head, turning her into a steam princess.

Gloriosa's words were like a key, finally allowing Hancock to recognize her own heart and understand her feelings for Link.

"Snake Princess... Snake Princess..."

Seeing Hancock swaying, as if she would faint in the next second, Gloriosa called out a few more times.

When she failed to rouse Hancock, Gloriosa could only leave helplessly.

Having once been afflicted with lovesickness herself, she knew all too well how humble a woman in love could be.

She only hoped that Link would not fail Hancock and would let this woman with a dark childhood find some happiness.

Just like that, Gloriosa set off in a small boat, leaving Amazon Lily alone, and began to sail the sea she knew so well. She went to see if, besides that old woman Linlin and that intern Kaido, any other old friends were still alive.

What she didn't know was that Link had his eyes on one of her old friends at that very moment.

After bringing back the cloth and steel, Link gave orders for the cloth to be made into uniform outfits and the steel to be forged into longswords and bows and arrows as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he also personally supervised the training of Carina and the other women, instructing them on how to coordinate with each other.

"Link, are you preparing to go to war with another pirate crew again?"

One night, Carina, Nami, and Vivi joined forces, yet they could still only barely fight Link to a draw.

Carina, in her Human-Beast form, lay naked on Link's body, chatting while panting.

Link held Nami and Vivi, one in each arm. The hand that was playing with their assets paused slightly as he asked with some surprise, "How did you know?"

"Ufufufu... It's too obvious. You usually don't push me this hard in training." Carina looked at Nami and Vivi and said with a grin, "Vivi, little cat burglar, you two must have noticed as well, right?"

Vivi: "..."

Nami: "..."

Looking at the two speechless women, Carina, with red eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes, couldn't help but roll her eyes charmingly. "Looks like I overestimated you."

"Who pays attention to that? I'm not Sister Robin." Nami couldn't help but retort, "I just thought Link was teaching me Armament Haki."

"Mmm-hmm..." Vivi nodded in agreement.

Looking at the two cute girls, Link's fighting spirit was once again ignited.

The just-extinguished flames of battle were rekindled.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

During that week, a significant event occurred in the New World.

The expanding Blackbeard Pirates finally had their first large-scale clash with the Whitebeard Pirates.

The battle was extremely fierce, but the result was a one-sided crush. The Blackbeard Pirates were completely wiped out, with only the captain and his officers managing to escape.

Although Teach had obtained the Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit and possessed top-tier combat power, his flaw remained his arrogance and conceit.

He had clearly suffered a loss at Link's hands, yet he still loved his raft so much.

He had just begun to invade the Whitebeard Pirates' territory when, before he could even land, his raft was sunk by Jinbe, who had emerged from Impel Down at some unknown time, with a single Fish-Man Karate move.

Then, the division commanders led by Marco and Ace, along with the several hundred pirates who had survived the Summit War, crushed the thousands of members of the Blackbeard Pirates.

If Laffitte hadn't flown into the sky in time, dodging the sea current attack from the Fish-Man Karate, and then retreated with Burgess, Teach, and the other officers, Teach would likely have been captured. His head would have then been cut off by Ace and the others to be used as an offering to their old man.

Reading this news while simultaneously teaching Nami and Carina the specific way to pronounce the word "nemesis," Link was left speechless.

Although being instantly defeated was a characteristic of the Blackbeard Pirates, and a common occurrence for Teach, that was in the past.

He had the Tremor-Tremor Fruit now, and he was still getting instantly defeated?

He was a real disgrace to the #1 of the Worst Generation. I feel ashamed to be ranked alongside him!

But Link also knew that after this defeat, Teach would quickly learn his lesson, and the Whitebeard Pirates would no longer have it so easy.
