Although the general direction of the route was the same, they reached Momoiro Island first, which proves Koala's hometown lies even further ahead, closer to the Grand Line entrance.

"So her home is actually positioned that far forward," Liam thought.

On the small ship's deck, a tall youth about 2 to 3 or 4 meters jumped out of the green Den Den Mushi with a "BIU" sound, causing the entire boat to shake slightly.

Liam gazed ahead at the island, which looked like it was draped in a dreamy, peach-pink haze, and mused, "In the manga, Koala and the Sun Pirates are mentioned in the 'two years later' New World arc, which makes people mistakenly think those events happened in the New World… Well, that makes sense, because Arlong was such a weakling, totally unlike someone trained in the New World!"

"BIU! BIU!" Robin emerged from the Den Den Mushi fortress with Koala right behind her. She patted the little girl's head and comforted her, "Giorno, elder brother, has some business to attend to on this island first…"

"That's okay," Koala raised her face with a smile. "I'm happy to spend a bit more time with Big Brother and elder sister."

Robin smiled softly.

Koala, facing the sea breeze, walked to Liam by the ship's rail and curiously asked, "What kind of place is that island? It looks so beautiful…"

Indeed, from afar, Momoiro Island was suffused with a misty Barbie-pink glow that seemed to even tint the sky, very dreamy and irresistibly attractive to a young girl like Koala.

After docking, the three landed. B.I.B. skillfully stowed the small ship into the mouth of the green Den Den Mushi, Paulie, then grabbed the Den Den Mushi and followed closely behind them.

"In any case…"

The three strolled through Momoiro Island's dreamlike environment, where even the grass and trees were full of girlish pink hues, and the gently flowing streams seemed filtered through a pale pink veil.

Robin smiled like a breath of spring breeze. Though her aesthetic was somewhat dark, she could still appreciate the beauty that ordinary people saw.

Koala was even more curious about this gorgeous, fantastical environment, but the occasional animals popping out of the pink woods felt off, somehow out of place and disharmonious…

Just then, she heard elder brother Giorno succinctly introduce,

"…It's basically a gathering place for a bunch of super perverts!"

"…"

Koala's mouth dropped in shock as she looked up at Big Brother, who said such a terrifying thing so calmly.

Robin recalled the miserable scene when Liam was chased all over this Momoiro Island by a bunch of muscular, hairy-armed, hairy-legged Okama men and couldn't help but laugh.

A rustling sound passed nearby, and Koala caught a glimpse of an animal darting past. "Gū lū." Her face paled, if she wasn't mistaken, that animal's face was made up! With strange, heavy eyeshadow and fiery red lips… It even looked like it had mascara, with four thick, shiny, curled rows of lashes… Just a quick glance was already scary enough…

"In other words," Liam said, arms crossed as he walked through the pink island, "it's a place where some marginalized folks band together for warmth."

"We won't pretend we didn't hear that, Giorno sweetheart~!"

Suddenly, a loud, quacking duck-like voice rang out.

Huh… Koala instinctively got goosebumps all over and rubbed her arms as she looked over, her eyes nearly blinded by what she saw.

There were several muscular men in princess dresses, their makeup as strange and scary as those animals in the woods, heavy eyeshadow, fiery red lips, thick makeup… all very over the top!

"…" Liam expressionlessly turned his head to look, "I'm amazed you recognized me at a glance... I honestly don't know how to feel about this."

Pū chī! Robin suddenly burst out laughing next to him.

Liam looked at her.

"Sorry? S-sorry…" Robin, unusually losing composure, covered her mouth giggling, "I just couldn't hold it in…"

"You're so annoying~ Giorno sweetheart, how could we forget you~!"

Several Okama with muscular, hairy legs giggled coquettishly, "Besides, it's been in the papers recently…"

Before they could finish speaking, just as Liam was about to throw a few punches at these clueless Okama, a bunch of chaotic auras suddenly erupted nearby.

Liam, B.I.B., and Robin all looked over, only to find that those were a group of outsiders.

Why could they recognize them instantly? Because these people were obviously not Okama. Although many wore incomplete clothing, some even just a top that exposed their hairy legs, none of them were without weapons. Most carried swords or blades.

Liam and Robin knew that the Okama of Momoiro Island were masters of hand-to-hand combat and rarely used swords.

"Bastards!"

"Die, Okama scum! We'll fight you!"

"A bunch of filthy perverts!"

The outsiders wildly brandished their swords and charged forward.

"Giorno, Jolyne, wait a moment~!" The Okama gave a rough, flirtatious wink to Liam and Robin, then shattered a heart-shaped petrification crack and laughed loudly as they charged those armed attackers, "How rude~ We like it! Gagagaga~"

"Sweetheart~ Do you really like tearing up our clothes? Naughty naughty!"

The Okama fought fiercely in the crowd. The swordsmen from outside the sea barely had any chance to defend themselves.

Though these Okama appeared rough and perverted, their strength was undeniable.

They had long been consuming the "offensive cuisine" proudly created by the Okama King, Emporio Ivankov. This was a special recipe derived from the Okama King's own Hormone Fruit powers, a unique diet designed to fully unleash certain potentials of the human body, a kind of "hormone recipe."

Liam had experienced firsthand the power of the Okama Hasshoken many years ago.

If it weren't for the need to combine the Hasshoken with this offensive cuisine, he might have gradually turned into one of these Okama himself, and could have trained his fists here back then.

Before long, the Okama brutally defeated the swordsmen, leaving them sprawled in all directions on the ground, looking utterly wrecked, their eyes vacant as they pondered their miserable lives.

"Giorno~~ Sweetheart~~!!" The Okama, having gotten carried away, suddenly all lunged at Liam together.

"Sigh!" Koala heard Giorno Nii San sigh softly and then step forward.

But when she looked up, she clearly saw a smile at the corner of Giorno Nii San's mouth as he brushed past.

"Damn, finally a chance to settle the old score!"

Liam rubbed his fists and called out, "Good brothers, there's no need for Jianghu chivalry with these damn Okama. Let's fight side by side!"

Whiz Whiz , he and B.I.B. charged forward.

Like lightning, the duo dealt a barrage of heavy punches to the shocked Okama faces, sending them flying a dozen meters. They landed with heavy thuds next to the swordsmen who were still lying there, contemplating life after being trampled.

"Heh heh heh…" Robin squinted, smiling at the scene.

"Truly amazing, Giorno sweet-"

On the way to the palace, the bruised Okama voiced their admiration. When Liam smiled at them, several quickly shut their mouths and said instead,

"Giorno, your strength has grown so much, it's incredible. The Okama Hasshoken can't compete with you anymore…"

"How can hearing that from your mouth, Paulie, not make me happy?" Liam said, speechless.

Koala followed closely beside Robin, occasionally sneaking glances at those strange people who had just been taught a lesson by Giorno Nii San.

Inside the city fortress filled with pink Barbie vibes, Liam pressed,

"Enough. I said I'm here to find Iva, so where is he?"

An Okama answered, "Ah, the Queen? He's not on the island."

"Not here? After all that talk?!" Liam almost wanted to punch them again. These Okama looked so damn punchable, big, rough, hairy-chested, scruffy with a stubbly chin, Adam's apples like walnuts rolling, thick limbs covered in hair… yet all insisted on dressing like Barbie princesses, wearing mascara, eyeshadow, and deathly pink lipstick… Damn, just describing it made Liam's Qilin arm twitch uncontrollably.

Iva isn't on the island? Liam and B.I.B. exchanged a glance. They both recalled the manga scenes, Okama King's first appearance was actually in the underwater great prison.

Probably, the Okama King who's not on the island now is just out roaming for a few more years before he ends up being thrown into the big prison… After all, counting the time, it more or less matches up perfectly…

"Don't be upset~!" the Okama giggled, "The Queen isn't on the island, but we have a Den Den Mushi to contact him!"

Saying that, an Okama wearing a butterfly hairpin brought over a slightly larger Den Den Mushi.

The Okama helped dial the number.

Koala saw that the Den Den Mushi in front of Giorno Nii San's face quickly changed expression, its lips curled open, painted with heavy purple lipstick, and its eyes grew wide, especially those distinct exaggerated eyelashes, like two pairs of folding fans opening and closing!

"Boru boru boru…" The Den Den Mushi muttered, indicating the call was connected.

Liam picked up the receiver and stared at the Den Den Mushi waiting to be answered, as if he suddenly remembered something, pausing for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Robin glanced at him.

Liam shook his head and grabbed the Den Den Mushi's microphone. Almost immediately, the face of the Den Den Mushi vividly simulated the expression of Okama King Ivankov on the other end of the line:

"Hee ha! So it's the honey arcs calling, I thought it was the Marines coming to arrest me, scared me to death, no, didn't really scare me!!"

"Not scared, huh! Ha ha ha…" The surrounding Okama echoed support even through the phone.

Liam was speechless and shouted into the Den Den Mushi, "Hey, is this Iva? This is Giorno!"
