As the crowd waited in anticipation, a massive vessel adorned with the distinctive seagull emblem gradually parted the clouds, materializing in the distant sky.
"Look! It's the Stormbreaker! Admiral Luffy has returned!" ca an excited shout from a particularly sharp-eyed tourist.
The exclamation sparked imdiate activity throughout the port as the atmosphere beca electric with excitent. Many witnessing the Stormbreaker for the first ti couldn't suppress their astonished gasps.
This was the world's first warship capable of autonomous flight through technological innovation—a legendary vessel hailed as both a "miracle" and a "flying fortress" by renowned scientists and shipwrights alike. It served as the exclusive transport for one of the Marine's four Admirals.
The ship's reputation had spread far and wide alongside Luffy's teoric rise. Among younger generations, it was considered comparable to Roger's "Oro Jackson" and Whitebeard's "Moby Dick"—a truly legendary warship that had already secured its place in mariti folklore.
As the Stormbreaker's approach beca unmistakable, Wano residents spontaneously began waving and cheering with unbridled enthusiasm.
Reporters and photographers representing major newspapers—having received advance notice and positioned themselves strategically—rapidly assembled their equipnt. The majestic spectacle of the Stormbreaker breaking through the clouds and soaring against the azure sky was captured with precision.
Among the beautiful won at the forefront of the gathering crowd, several could no longer contain their excitent.
Yamato stood on tiptoe, one hand shading her forehead as she peered into the distance.
"They're here! They've returned!" she announced, barely controlling her enthusiasm.
Koala, equally unable to disguise her eagerness, declared: "After more than six months away, they're finally back! I must show him how significantly my strength has improved during his absence."
"I've missed Luffy terribly," Mansherry added, clasping her hands together with undisguised anticipation. "I wonder if he's missed as well."
Listening to the animated conversation among the three won, Hancock stood with one hand resting imperiously on her hip, her expression betraying mounting impatience as several prominent veins began throbbing visibly on her forehead.
Observing their discussion grow increasingly enthusiastic—the three won seemingly prepared to throw themselves into Luffy's arms the mont he disembarked—Hancock finally reached her breaking point.
"Silence, you three fools!" she commanded sharply.
"Huh?" The trio responded in unison, turning toward her with expressions of bewildered innocence.
Undeterred, Hancock continued her tirade, her beautiful features contorted with indignation:
"Have you all forgotten how that heartless man abandoned you? Have you forgotten spending half a year alone and helpless in this wretched place?!"
Witnessing Hancock's outrage, the three won exchanged glances, silently struggling to suppress their amusent.
Perceiving their compliance, Hancock nodded with satisfaction, though she continued her impassioned criticism:
"That bastard left us here while taking Ain to the North Blue. Without a word of explanation, he's returning with two additional won. If we simply observe passively, aren't you concerned that the number of 'sisters' will continue to increase until we're eventually supplanted entirely?"
"Hmm? I don't mind," Yamato responded cheerfully. "The more sisters we have, the more friends to enjoy! Isn't that wonderful?"
Hancock directed a ferocious glare toward Yamato, who remained oblivious to her social misstep. The energetic woman prepared to elaborate on the nurous benefits of an expanded sisterhood.
However, Koala—displaying remarkable awareness and quick reflexes—leapt forward to cover Yamato's mouth with her hand before additional damage could occur.
Koala offered an awkward smile and hastily affird: "Ha ha ha, Sister Hancock is absolutely correct! When that scoundrel returns, we must confront him properly."
Relieved that not all her companions were similarly obtuse, Hancock released a dismissive snort, temporarily absolving Yamato of her indiscretion.
Yet she remained unsatisfied, continuing to indoctrinate her "sisters" with unwavering dedication:
"Rember this well—when Luffy disembarks, do not approach him, and certainly do not offer him a warm reception."
Koala and the others nodded obediently, indicating their willingness to follow the elder sister's guidance.
"Excellent," Hancock affird. "I shall represent all sisters in questioning this unfaithful man. You need only observe my performance. Is that understood?"
Having delivered these instructions, Hancock surveyed her audience, directing her gaze toward Hina, Olivia, and Viola, who had maintained silence throughout the exchange.
Noting no objections from this quarter, Hancock finally expressed satisfaction. A triumphant smirk settled on her lips as she positioned herself to await Luffy's arrival, thoroughly pleased with her diplomatic maneuvering.
