Capítulo 44: John's preferences!
"You guys play first, I'll go and see other places."
John confessed and disappeared in front of them, Olivia was also taken away by him.
Just when Sarah and the others were dazed, wondering why John wanted them to keep playing in this primitive jungle, they heard the sound of rustling leaves in the jungle. Soon, several slim and athletic figures surrounded them, creating a powerful presence that encircled them.
"Is it you?"
The leader was a woman with a tall black ponytail and cold, sharp eyes. Her slender figure made Bella, who usually stood out in the Edge Horizon team, feel a bit self-conscious.
This was Kikyo, the captain of the Amazon lily Protectors!
To one side stood Margaret, a blonde with an oval face and stunning looks—the warrior who found Luffy in the anime. Then there was Eflandra, a towering woman several times larger than an average person, but with perfect body proportions and a strong, imposing appearance.
As for the others, they were unnamed foot soldiers, merely part of the hunting group in the jungle. When they sensed the presence of intruders, they came here, but were surprised to find "their own people."
"Uh, Captain, we're just here to train in the jungle." Sarah was quick-witted, identifying the leader at a glance, and hurriedly explained, "We want to become strong protectors like you!"
Ding~ Kikyo's favorability towards you has increased!
Kikyo, being rigid and strict, upheld the rules of Amazon lily that forbade men, and she was equally disciplined with her subordinates. Hearing Sarah's words, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly before her expression quickly returned to its usual coldness.
"It's good to want to become stronger," Kikyo replied seriously, "but this part of the jungle isn't suitable for you. Go to the outskirts, where the beasts are weaker."
"Margaret, take them there."
"Okay, Captain Kikyo."
Sarah and the others let out a sigh of relief, secretly grateful that John had helped them change their starting point and craft a convincing backstory for their presence on Amazon lily.
Of course, Amazon lily was vastly superior to Loguetown, but only for women. Any male players who chose Amazon lily as their starting point were treated as refugees, unable to live on the island. The men could only die of starvation, cold, or be shot by the protectors if they tried to enter the island.
Margaret smiled slightly, leading the girls away. "You made it here? I'm not sure if you're lucky or unlucky, but dealing with the beasts here takes some effort, even for us."
"Um, we didn't see any beasts along the way," Sarah replied. "We just went deeper into the jungle without realizing it."
"Is that so? Then I'll need to report this to the captain. The beasts shouldn't just disappear like that," Margaret said seriously.
Sarah: "…"
"Can you teach us how to become stronger?" Bella asked eagerly.
"Become stronger? Well, maybe next time. I have to report this to the captain." Margaret looked surprised for a moment, then shook her head.
As they reached the outskirts of the jungle, Margaret demonstrated her prowess by shattering a massive boulder with a single arrow, her Armament Haki making her attacks overwhelmingly powerful. The display left the girls in awe, inspiring them even more to learn Haki and acquire such abilities themselves.
"This is the place. The beasts here are generally less dangerous. I'll come find you when I have time," Margaret said, stopping at the edge of the jungle.
"Thank you!" The girls thanked her profusely, excited that Margaret had promised to guide them in Armament Haki training.
"Goodbye, Margaret!" Bella waved enthusiastically as Margaret left. Once she was out of sight, Bella turned to the others and whispered, "Wow, do you see their figures? Incredible!"
"Those legs! That imposing aura! Do you think the boss really likes these types?" Bella joked.
"Stop it, Bella!" Emily blushed, oblivious to the annoyed look on John's face as he monitored from afar.
Boom!
John gave Bella a light smack from a distance, grumbling, "What does this have to do with me? Blame Oda, not me!"
"Uh huh~" Bella muttered.
"Alright, let's start training. Margaret already taught us the basics, so we shouldn't waste time," Sarah said decisively.
"Right, especially since we still have to worry about today's game characters," Bella added, pulling a face.
They had just discovered a new world of possibilities, but the pressure of work and game tasks still loomed over them, making them regret taking on extra responsibilities when they could have just been playing games for money.
Meanwhile, John had brought Olivia to another island.
"This is an island in the sky?" Olivia asked, astonished.
Her ability to adapt had improved significantly. Compared to the power of a Devil Fruit, encountering a floating island didn't seem as overwhelming.
"It's called Visalia, the most advanced weather science island in the world. The people here are experts at manipulating weather using clouds," John explained.
Visalia was the same place where Nami had been sent by Kuma in the anime. The people here used artificial clouds, but for someone like Olivia, who had the power of the Cloud Cloud Fruit, this island would be the perfect place to develop her abilities.
"There are only old men here, but they'll teach you as long as you get on their good side," John added, smirking as he mentioned the ready-made training ground.
Nami had followed a similar path in the anime, and with Olivia's powers, learning here should be a breeze. The only challenge was that Visalia constantly moved with the wind, making it difficult to track its location.
John had teleported directly here using his administrator privileges. As for how Kuma managed to find the island, it was likely due to his immense Observation Haki, possibly as powerful as Fujitora's ability to summon meteors from space.
