Chapter 31: Shakky
As the pirate ship approached, Hades gradually saw the figure standing at the bow.
She had beautiful long hair, wore a sexy leather outfit, had long, tanned legs, and half of her chest was exposed.
Hades felt a sense of familiarity.
Although her appearance and clothing style were quite different from how she would look in the future, he still recognized her identity: Shakky, the previous generation's King of Amazon Lily and Captain of the Nine Snake Pirates.
From a chronological perspective, this was exactly the period when Shakky began to be active.
"My dear Nyx, you've kept me waiting!"
Boarding the Nine Snake Pirates' ship, Shakky rushed to Nyx and hugged her tightly, their ample chests pressing together as if about to burst.
The openness was as expected; after all, they came from the Women's Country, a paradise for men.
The twelve-year age difference did not affect their relationship.
In terms of appearance, they truly looked like sisters.
Shakky made quite a name for herself when she went to sea at seventeen, holding the dual identities of Captain of the Nine Snake Pirates and King of the Women's Country.
"Women's Country" is the external name for Amazon Lily Island, located in the Calm Belt. The island's residents are all female, with fierce customs, and every one of them is a warrior.
For the Women's Country to survive, it needs to rely on the Nine Snake Pirates to plunder externally.
Some supplies need to be supplemented from the outside, otherwise, they will gradually weaken.
Without strength, the only outcome is the destruction of the Kingdom.
Therefore, every generation's Captain of the Nine Snake Pirates becomes a powerful individual on the Great Sea.
Although Shakky is still young, she has already shown such potential.
She also caught the eye of the Rocks Pirates, who sent someone to recruit the Nine Snake Pirates. That person was Nyx.
Nyx thought highly of Shakky and provided significant help to her and the Nine Snake Pirates, assisting them in quickly integrating into the New World and advising them on matters to note.
The two naturally became close friends.
"Didn't I just arrive? Let me introduce you." Nyx pulled Shakky and looked towards Hades and the other two.
"This is my son, Hades. You can get to know each other better in the future."
"This is Ananke." "His name is Titan."
"So you're Nyx's son?" Looking at Hades, Shakky crossed her arms, a strange glint in her eyes, showing some curiosity.
"I've heard your name from Nyx several times."
"Greetings, Sister Shakky!" Hades greeted her.
He was also looking at Shakky. She was very different from his impression in his Past Life: healthy tanned skin, her leather jacket open to reveal eight-pack abs, and strong, powerful arms and long legs.
Her physique was as toned as a leopard's, and her eyes revealed a wildness.
Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and her buttocks were shapely, immediately reminding Hades of a female fitness coach he had intimately interacted with in his Past Life, though Shakky was taller and her body more symmetrical.
"Hoho! Little Hades!"
Although Shakky noticed Hades' gaze, she didn't mind.
Hearing Hades' address, Shakky covered her mouth and chuckled, "Find a room to rest. Next, we're returning to Amazon Lily."
"Remember not to run around on the ship!"
Shakky smiled and reminded Hades and the others, then turned to Nyx, saying, "Sister, why don't you sleep with me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled Nyx and headed towards the Captain's cabin on a higher deck.
Nyx didn't refuse. She waved at Hades and the other two, then followed along.
This left Hades speechless. Is this really okay?
But over the years, he had accepted some different concepts, and could even be said to have adapted quickly.
Looking around, the Nine Snake Pirates' openness was about what he expected. Most were exposing their skin, only covering their private parts.
There were quite a few women wearing only short skirts and bras.
As expected, were they truly from the legendary Women's Country?
However, the surrounding gazes made him feel uncomfortable.
He didn't show it on the surface.
The Amazon Kingdom's reproduction largely relies on these Nine Snake Pirates warriors. Their targets for plundering at sea include men.
After becoming pregnant, they return to Amazon Lily. If they give birth to a boy, he is killed; if it's a girl, she is kept and raised.
Men are merely tools for their reproduction.
As for the rumors about adopting girls from outside, they are not credible. The residents of Amazon Lily Island are also called the Amazon Kuja Tribe, a race with a very long history.
According to Hades' guess, the bloodline of the Snake People Tribe flows within them.
Not only is it indicated by their Pirate Flag, but also by the custom of raising snakes on the island.
The Snake People Tribe is a special variant race similar to the Fish-Man Tribe, with human bodies and snake tails. Upon reaching a certain age, their snake tails can transform into human legs.
The Snake Head Tribe is said to be a race that originated from mutations resulting from the union of the Snake People Tribe and humans.
The Snake People Tribe is very rare. The Kronos Kingdom also has some intelligence about them. They have almost vanished from the Great Sea and are said to have hidden themselves in the Calm Belt to avoid greedy human traffickers.
Why is there a record? Because the Kronos Kingdom once took notice.
The Kronos Kingdom is located in the northern part of the New World, and the Snake People Tribe fled from the northern New World into the Calm Belt.
Hades expressed understanding regarding their unique customs, as he didn't care and it wasn't his concern.
But those greedy gazes made him feel somewhat disgusted. Among them were two Nine Snake Pirates warriors with large bellies.
These members of the Nine Snake Pirates were all well-traveled and knowledgeable.
It would be a different story for those Women's Country warriors who hadn't been out to sea yet.
Fortunately, this was only a portion; some Nine Snake Pirates members were considered "normal".
A Nine Snake Pirates warrior carrying a bow and arrows and with a snake coiled around her waist and shoulder walked up to the three of them.
"Follow me."
After speaking, she turned and left, but Hades could feel that she had given him an extra look.
Not minding it, he noticed Titan, who looked a bit awkward, and patted his waist, saying, "Let's go!"
The real world was indeed very different from the one he had imagined in the past. Hades realized this.
In any case, his goal was just to find a place where he could train under pressure.
It was true that the Women's Country was all women, but the rumor that they were all beauties was nonsense.
Moreover, among these Nine Snake Pirates warriors, although there were quite a few beauties, there were indeed some who were strangely shaped, fierce, even somewhat deformed, and did not fit Hades' aesthetic.
As for them, Hades wouldn't even spare them a glance.
In comparison, the Amazon Kuja Tribe warriors who hadn't left the Women's Country yet had the potential for further improvement.
And compared to the Women's Country, Hades actually preferred the Wano Women from Wano Country.
