"Tch, at worst I'll just restore them. Is it really necessary to keep chasing me like this? Seriously, those two are such cheapskates," Hera grumbled as she sat in her chair, showing no signs of having matured at all.
Beside her, Kuina rubbed her eyebrows helplessly. She had heard about the scene back then; supposedly, it happened while Michael and Lucifer were bestowing blessings upon their followers.
A small hand appeared from behind them, plucked a feather, and even gave their wings a couple of rubs. This scene was recorded by numerous believers and is currently the biggest news in the entire universe.
Hera said dissatisfiedly, "Tch, so many people want me to touch them but I won't. Those two actually acted all disgusted. Though, the feel of Archangel and Fallen Angel feathers is indeed different."
Hera's small hands mimicked the feeling in the air, as if she were still reminiscing about the sensations—one burning yet gentle, the other cold but smooth.
Back to the present, Michael's devil fruit chose the second sister, Boa Sandersonia, while Lucifer's devil fruit chose the third sister, Boa Marigold.
After they absorbed the fruits, light and darkness intertwined upon them, gradually wrapping around their bodies until they eventually turned into two giant eggs as tall as Hancock.
Startled by this change, Hera quickly sensed their condition. After discovering that the life force within was growing robustly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"The two of them should be undergoing a metamorphosis. Looking at the situation, they'll likely welcome their new birth in a few days. Let's wait here for a while."
The power within the two feathers sponsored by the Hera from the future was not something ordinary Mythical Zoan Types could compare to. Combined with the relatively weak foundations of these two, it would take some time for them to adapt.
Ain controlled the two fruits to float up. Just as the group finished eating, they returned to the palace and placed these two special 'giant eggs' into the hot spring.
Time passed quickly. A week later, the two placed there finally showed signs of movement. As the sky over Amazon Lily turned into two colors—one light and one dark—the figures of Hancock's two sisters emerged from within.
A pair of huge wings condensed behind them. Below those wings, two phantom images flashed by briefly, as if they only flickered once due to insufficient energy.
Black and white wings wrapped around their bodies, then dissipated into light, revealing their pure white forms.
The shattered eggshells turned into light and gathered into their bodies. Then, both of them opened their eyes simultaneously.
As soon as everyone noticed the anomaly in the sky, they rushed back to the hot spring. Seeing the two of them completely naked, Kuina quickly covered Hera's eyes.
Hera immediately protested, her hands waving in front of her: "What are you doing? I'm not a child anymore! Why are you blocking my eyes?"
As the two submerged their bodies into the hot spring, Kuina finally released the hand blocking Hera's eyes.
Sandersonia and Marigold swam to Hera's side, pulling her into the hot spring from both the left and right.
"It's okay. If you want, you can look as long as you like later. Right, Sister?"
Sandersonia nodded. Holding Hera's left arm, her body pressed even closer, climbing onto the left half of Hera's body.
Feeling the softness on both sides, Hera subconsciously swallowed. Only now did she realize that what was even more charming than Hancock was Hancock along with her two sisters.
Watching Hera being snatched away, Kuina and Ain exchanged a look. It seemed their alliance needed to speed up its progress as well.
The next day, Hera, having experienced the flavors of both an angel and a Fallen Angel simultaneously, walked out of the bedchamber. From her slightly unsteady footsteps, one could see that even as an elf, fighting against these two factions at once was somewhat taxing.
Hera patted her face twice to perk herself up. Although her combat power might not keep up, her recovery ability made up for this flaw quite well.
After Hera used a transponder snail to inform Sabo that Luffy was here, Sabo volunteered to come and build a New Navy branch. Today was the day of their arrival.
Hearing that Sabo was going to Amazon Lily, Koala, who couldn't rest easy, followed along, and they arrived here together.
The construction of the New Navy proceeded smoothly under Hancock's direction. The residents of Amazon Lily were initially surprised by the men arriving here, but they have gradually adapted.
Seeing things becoming more complete, Hera nodded in satisfaction. Now that their group had all awakened Two-Color Haki, it was time to find their next partner, Uta.
After replenishing supplies, the Argo set sail once again, but there was an unexpected person on board.
Hancock followed Hera onto the Argo. Seeing Hera's confused gaze, Hancock said somewhat shyly, "I have decided that from now on, I will be a member of the Argo."
Hera quickly asked, "Then what about the Amazon Lily Kingdom? Aren't you their Empress?"
Hancock said, "Don't worry. Shakky and Granny Gloriosa will govern it well. Besides, my two sisters and Rayleigh are both here. Even if I'm not around, no one can threaten this place."
Hearing this, Hera felt relieved. As she said, the current Amazon Lily was no longer like before, relying entirely on the Empress alone. Now, the island was full of experts and had the protection of the Marine.
"Furthermore, I have already submitted a proposal to the World Government to resign from the Shichibukai and join the Marine directly. Given my beauty, they should agree very soon."
Just as Hancock said this, the transponder snail connecting to Sengoku rang. When Hera picked up the call, Sengoku's voice came through:
"I have already agreed to Hancock's proposal to join the Argo. Don't worry about the World Government's side; just let her on the ship."
Hearing this, Hera nodded: "Alright, I understand."
Casting aside her last bit of worry, Hera turned to Hancock and gave a sincere smile: "Welcome to the Argo, Hancock."
Putting aside whatever agreement Sengoku reached with the Gorosei to let the Marine have an all-female unit capable of using Haki, the current World Government was furious that the original Shichibukai had now become the 'Three-bukai.'
As the pirates among the Shichibukai were either defeated, resigned voluntarily, or chose to rebel within just a few years, they hadn't managed to gather seven people for a while now.
The Gorosei were also extremely irritated that their policy had turned out like this, but they had no other choice. There were only a few people on this sea who could carry such a title.
They could only keep comforting themselves that once Stussy from CP0 launched an attack on Hera, everything would get better.
