The emotions of the Kuja women in the arena were in turmoil, leaving them feeling somewhat dazed. First, they learned that the beloved Snake Princess was going to execute Boa Hancock. Then they discovered that Hancock had secretly consorted with an outsider pirate— a man, no less! She had openly violated their nation's laws.

Before they could sort through their feelings— whether to sympathize with Hancock, feeling sorry that she was facing death for such a minor offense, or to resent her for knowingly courting disaster— they were shocked when that man, Chopper Giorno, suddenly appeared from who knows where to save Hancock…

Just when the Kuja women thought this ungrateful outsider pirate would be easily suppressed by the warriors and Snake Princess, they saw him effortlessly defeat their pirate crew warrior without anyone being able to clearly see how it happened!

Moreover, after Snake Princess took action, this Giorno even showed the power to fight back! The dazzling battle between this man and Snake Princess, with a speed that left them in awe, was beyond anything they had ever witnessed. Especially the punches of Snake Princess infused with Haoshoku Haki!

He had survived.

Twice, he had lived through Snake Princess's punches.

Though his arms looked like they were broken, reaching such a state had garnered secret admiration from the Amazon Lily women, who prided themselves on their fighting prowess. 

Strength was beauty. To the Kuja women, this Giorno was undeniably beautiful.

The repeated emphasis on "beautiful" was not just due to his strength; his appearance was quite handsome as well. Although many Kuja women had never seen a man, they still shared some common aesthetic sensibilities. 

It was a pity that such a strong and beautiful man was about to die. 

Just a minute ago, this was the thought in the hearts of all the watching Kuja women. Even Hancock had a fleeting moment of the same sentiment.

Sonia and Mari had red, swollen eyes and could no longer shed tears. Cosmos sighed beside them, thinking that Giorno seemed like a decent person, willing to step forward to save Hancock… but unfortunately, he was still doomed in front of Snake Princess.

The developments in the next minute exceeded everyone's expectations. 

When Snake Princess and the warriors aimed their arrows at the man who could transform into mist… suddenly, arms inexplicably sprouted from the snake bows of Snake Princess and the warriors! 

Then, another unfamiliar girl leaped out from who knows where. Perhaps she was the Captain, Kuujou Jolyne, with a bounty of 100 million Belly, the one that Snake Princess mentioned!

Everyone thought these two incredibly bountiful pirates would meet their end beneath Snake Princess's rain of arrows.

No one expected…

This phrase had been used many times, but it was true; what followed far exceeded everyone's expectations. After Snake Princess asked a question, she surprisingly put down her snake bow.

Then she called out to Robin, "Do you want to save his life? Then agree to one condition!"

Hancock, still hanging on Snake Princess's shoulder, was taken aback. In that instant, a scene from the book "The Room" flashed through her mind, replacing the main character from "Hancock" with "Jolyne"... Snake Princess wouldn't really do something so outrageous, would she? Or perhaps Hancock's imagination had switched the main character from "Jolyne" to "Giorno"…

Liam's arms were limp, and B.I.B. enveloped his entire body as his own form was busy. It quietly employed the Life Return technique, commanding his flesh to make the fractured bones click back into place, realigning even the tiny shards of bone…

This process was excruciating, causing Liam to furrow his brows tightly, yet his gaze remained fixed on the tall, blonde empress in the arena.

Robin, standing next to Liam, was also watching Snake Princess. Without much hesitation, she nodded.

In that moment, she thought of many things. 

She hoped that Snake Princess didn't mean for her to trade her life for his. 

She was willing to give her own life for Liam to live. But her life didn't entirely belong to her.

She had to continue living, carrying the weight of Ohara's destruction, the dead doctor, her mother, and all the others who had perished…

Robin couldn't bear to think about how she would react if Snake Princess truly wanted her life in exchange for Liam's. 

Would she betray Liam and escape alone? 

The cold face of the Marine Vice Admiral flashed through her mind. He had once said that she was that kind of person…

Robin couldn't help but feel her heart tremble, unable to continue thinking further, repeating silently: *Don't… don't… don't…*

Perhaps her prayers were too fervent, leading to hallucinations. Robin couldn't believe it. Liam beside her also seemed to doubt his own hearing. The Kuja women in the entire arena were confused; the developments of the day were simply too bizarre!

In front of the high throne, Suzuran could hardly believe her ears. Did Snake Princess really know what she was saying? Why was she suddenly acting so capriciously like Hancock?!

Hancock herself hung on Snake Princess's shoulder, as if deeply offended. She straightened her neck and glared angrily at the side of Snake Princess's face!

"Become the Princess of Kuja," Snake Princess had just said to Robin. Her words were crystal clear, echoing in the ears of many.

Seeing Kuujou Jolyne remain silent, Snake Princess smiled and extended her hand toward her. "Come."

Without a word, Robin used her Flower-Flower Fruit ability to cross over the deep pits surrounding the arena, stepping onto the stage and walking toward the tall Snake Princess, step by step.

The Kuja women in the audience area were in an uproar. What was going on? 

Hadn't Snake Princess already had a princess? Just by looking at Snake Princess's figure, one could tell that Princess Your Highness had already been born. Why was she suddenly bestowing the title of princess upon an outsider woman?

Suzuran could no longer contain herself. She leaped onto the stage, striding forward, ready to demand answers, but as she approached Snake Princess, she felt an overwhelming presence…

Haoshoku Haki! Suzuran slowed her pace, swallowing hard. Although she couldn't see Snake Princess's face clearly, she could already imagine the terrifying expression she wore.

Looking around, she noticed that at some point, the noisy stands filled with Kuja women had quieted down…

Snake Princess was serious…

Hancock furrowed her brow and jumped down from Snake Princess's shoulder, seeing Jolyne tilt her head to ask Snake Princess, "You didn't pretend to execute Hancock to lure Giorno out, but to get to me?"

Hancock stroked her chin, realizing the truth.

Snake Princess smiled slightly, not denying it, and winked at Robin, saying softly, "Make sure to use your ability later."

With that, she straightened her posture, took a step forward, and scanned the warriors and citizens of the nation in the stands.

"Seven hundred and forty-eight years ago, the first generation of Empress Lily of Kuja Island led her companions to establish this country. The first Empress established the first law, which is our nation's greatest prohibition— men are forbidden to enter!"

Snake Princess's voice echoed throughout the arena, amplified by the Den Den Mushi.

"However… this national law can be disregarded in certain situations, in front of a specific person! This exception does not apply to just any generation of Snake Princesses. Every generation of Snake Princess knows who this exception applies to. Each successive Snake Princess has inherited the will of the first Snake Princess…"

Snake Princess paused, leaning closer to the Den Den Mushi microphone, and softly added, "It is also a lifelong regret."
