Chapter 387 - 389 (1/2)
The empresses of the Amazon Lily generally did not hold the throne for too long.
Most of them were young women, very rarely remaining on the throne even before the age of forty.
The reason for this is quite simple.
The Amazon Lily Empress is responsible not only for robbing and hunting the sea kings, but also for many of Amazon Lily's internal matters.
With such a life, it is simply impossible to have children.
According to the long tradition of the Amazon Lily, each of the female warriors must give birth to a child, because it depends on the stable maintenance of the number of the tribe.
Even the Empress remains a normal woman.
Constantly observing how other women give birth and raise cute daughters, after reaching a certain age, the Empress also has a dėsɨrė to give birth to a child.
Therefore, the Empresses of the Amazon Lily usually leave the throne at a fairly early age, and do not rule until old age.
As for the successor...
According to the traditions of the Amazon Lily, the next Empress is chosen in a duel, not by right of blood.
The most powerful female warrior, Amazon Lily, becomes the Empress.
Therefore.
In order to become the next Amazon Lily Empress, Hancock will have to surpass many other competitors by becoming the strongest female warrior.
This was, of course, an extremely difficult task for Hancock, who was now only twelve years old.
But Hancock, as the owner of the royal will, had a dėsɨrė to become the strongest female warrior of the Amazon Lily from the very beginning, and Yeruashi's words only strengthened her intention.
She will definitely become the Amazon Lily Empress!
«...»
The Empress turned her head several times to look at Hancock and Yeruashi, and then abruptly jumped back onto the Kuja Pirate ship, ” Set sail!»
She shook her head, noticing that Hancock was still looking at the Yeruashi ship, ” You can't make contact with men at that age...»
There is an instinctive attraction between men and women.
This is the foundation of life.
But men can't live on Amazon Lily.
This has long been the main taboo of the Kuja Tribe.
That is why, only when women grow up to a certain age and begin to feel the dėsɨrė to have children, they are told about men and where children come from.
Following this tradition, the women of Amazon Lily catch strong men to conceive a child and break up with them when it's all over.
The contact should be as short as possible to eliminate the possibility of feelings.
But Hancock apparently spent quite a lot of time with this man on the ship, which naturally led to feelings for the opposite sėx.
This is very bad for Amazon Lily women.
Long ago, such women appeared from time to time, but worst of all, they did not rarely betray Amazon Lily because of this.
The most recent example was the previous Amazon Empress Lily.
The Empress didn't want to see Hancock, who had great talent and potential, transform into the previous Amazon Empress Lily.
So after a moment's thought, she said, ” Hancock, don't be too grateful to this man...»
”Although he saved you, he also put you in great danger.»
”You were just lucky enough to come across us while sailing, otherwise this ship would have been destroyed by the sea kings sooner or later.»
There were other women nearby who had noticed Hancock's affection for Yeruashi.
One of them said, ” The Empress is right, although it may seem that he was kind in agreeing to bring you home, but a man who dared to go to Kalm Belt so recklessly is not trustworthy.»
”Men are just our prey.»
The surrounding women expressed their opinion.
