The Medusa's fruit venom coursed through Bonney's body, yet she could still move normally. However, her will have completely slipped beyond her control. Bonney found herself utterly unable to resist Hancock's commands. 

With Hancock's foot pressing down on her hair, Bonney obediently lifted her head, drawn closer to the exquisite jade foot before her. Without thinking, she pressed her red lips against it.

Her soft lips brushed against the delicate toes, and in an instant, the petite foot began to grow in size— first eight years old, then nine, ten... thirteen, fourteen, fifteen. 

Hancock's foot, along with her long, slender legs and graceful body, transformed with each blink, quickly returning to its original, curvaceous form, radiating a divine light, a body worthy of national treasure.

Liam's gaze shifted from Hancock to Bonney, who knelt before her. He murmured, "What kind of Devil Fruit is this...?"

'Damn! I almost fell for it… Hancock's beauty was already overwhelming, and her being completely naked was an even greater shock, enough to make stones bleed! It seemed only Luffy, that rubber-headed fool, could remain immune to such a stunning sight.'

Liam silently sighed in relief, grateful he hadn't reacted foolishly or shown any signs of arousal— he wouldn't have been able to hold his head high in front of Hancock afterward!

Robin averted her gaze, and Hancock looked away as well.

As Bonney's body reacted to the venom, B.I.B.'s narrow, white-glowing eyes flickered with rapid memory fragments. It quickly accessed the "Devil Fruit Encyclopedia," comparing Bonney's ability to the milder Devil Fruits in the Paramecia section.

Hancock's pet snake, Salome, nipped at her clothes. Hancock gently shook her garments and put them on, covering her flawless body.

Sandersonia exhaled softly, and Marigold followed suit. Despite their familiarity with their elder sister, seeing her naked body so suddenly nearly made them lose control.

The Kuja warriors, whether they were young girls or older women, all breathed quickly and blushed. They were certain that the power Hancock had just displayed could drive an entire country mad.

'Giorno was impressive, remaining so calm…' The women of Kuja silently admired Liam's composure.

"Restore them too," Hancock commanded, nudging Bonney's cheek with her foot as she slowly slipped on her high heels.

Still under the influence of the snake venom, Bonney obediently approached the transformed Kuja warriors, touching each one, and they immediately returned to their true ages.

Sandersonia quickly regained her original height of one meter ninety, her elegant and stunning appearance restored, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Bonney walked over to Old Boss, who had fainted, though no one knew when it had happened.

Robin quietly smirked, having noticed that when Hancock first shrank due to the pink-haired woman and her clothes falling off, Hancock's inherent Haoshoku Haki had immediately unleashed. 

Robin quickly realized that among everyone present, only Old Boss, who had come with her and Liam, had been struck by the Haoshoku Haki, foaming at the mouth and still unconscious.

"He doesn't need it," Liam reminded Bonney. "He's just old, not made old by you..."

Bonney gazed blankly at the unconscious Old Boss, muttering, "I've seen him... he was... his friend..."

"He?" Liam asked. "I guess the 'he' you're talking about is... Bartholomew Kuma?"

Bonney remained silent.

"Answer him," Hancock ordered.

Bonney replied, "Yes..."

Hancock calmly asked, "What is it?"

Bonney obediently answered, "This person... was once Bartholomew Kuma's friend... Twenty years ago, they often met at the Ice Cream Paradise in this country..."

Her eyes subtly reddened, perhaps reminded of past events.

"Twenty years ago?" Sandersonia was puzzled. "Then how old are you...?"

...

The entire group finished clearing the Glacier Pirates that had occupied the island, scraping clean everything they could find.

The Kuja warriors returned, laden with supplies and spoils, heading toward the pirate ship docked in the distance. The scene of waves crashing against the shore formed a circular view through a monocular.

In that view, the entire group gradually appeared, walking along the coastline. The enchanting women chatted and laughed, looking in good spirits; these were the Kuja women!

But... Behind the monocular, Colonel Augat gritted his teeth, and the pain in his arm became clearer and more intense.

However, when he saw the most striking figure among the Kuja women—the tall woman whose presence made all the surrounding beauty pale in comparison—Colonel Augat was once again stunned. 

He slapped himself twice, took a deep breath, and upon closer inspection, noticed that beside Hancock stood another woman with pink hair, dressed in completely different attire from the other Kuja women.

Who is she?

Someone from the island?

Adjusting the monocular's magnification, he brought the view closer. He could vaguely see that the pink-haired woman was following Hancock, seemingly docile, with no signs of being forced. Colonel Augat pondered, shifting the view slightly, and immediately spotted the person he could never forget— the only man among the Kuja women.

In the monocular's view, the man, who had been laughing and talking with the tall woman next to him, suddenly seemed to sense something and turned his head to look directly at him!

Liam appeared to make eye contact with the person behind the monocular, raising his hand and pointing at the screen, as if saying, "You're looking at me, right?"

What are you looking at?!

'Slap!' Colonel Augat quickly turned his face away, covering the lens, astonished: "What a monster! How did he notice...?"

...

A group of Marines carrying guns landed on the island of Solba, and upon finding the abandoned factory, they saw many pirate corpses along the way.

"As expected, it's the Glacier Pirates!"

The Marines were secretly shocked.

"Over here!"

Inside the abandoned factory, a Marine waved his hand to signal.

As everyone entered, they couldn't help but gasp.

"The Glacier Pirate Captain, Papu. Sicru, the bounty of 89 Million Belly... a big pirate..."

"Pirate, Killer Hammer, a bounty of 43 million Belly..."

"Add to that the former Vice-Captain of the Glacier Pirates..." The Marines exchanged glances. "The Kuja Pirates wiped out the entire Glacier Pirates without a scratch?"

A dozen pirates lay unconscious, bound tightly with iron chains, not a single one awake, most of them bruised and battered.

Especially the most prominent of the bound pirates, the Captain of the Glacier Pirates, whose head was bloodied and unconscious, beaten to the point of no longer resembling a human. It was only his physique and usual long blade that allowed the Marines to recognize him.

"How could something like this happen..."

The Marines murmured. Comparing this to their own Marine forces, they suddenly felt embarrassed. A mere female pirate crew that happened to appear managed to wipe out a large-scale pirate group that had been a headache for many of their branches. 

At this point, one of the Marines noticed a piece of paper wedged in the iron chains binding the pirates. He pulled it out and read the words: "Just accept it with a thick face, no need to give change." There was also a simple smiley face drawn next to it.

The Marines were filled with a mix of shame and anger, but they took the pirates.

In the corner, Old Boss, who had been unconscious, slowly regained consciousness, feeling empty, as if he had missed something...

He lowered his head and saw that his hands were shackled. When he looked up, he saw a Marine standing before him.

"Wait, wait, why am I shackled? I'm not a pirate!!"

...

At the bow of the ship, two Snake Seakings came to life as the Kuja pirate ship slowly set sail.

Back in the cabin, Boa's two younger sisters glanced at the pink-haired woman who was following their elder sister like a well-behaved maid... Why did their elder sister bring her on the ship?
