The Strongest Lunarian in One Piece

"Mamahaha, so this is pure gold?"

"The light is dazzling, but it doesn't hurt the eyes…"

"It's indeed quite special!"

"Unbelievable…"

That afternoon.

At dusk.

On Atlantis.

Tsuru, Linlin, Sally, Helen, Baka, Lillian, and the others had all gathered here.

Even Gloriosa, who was far away on Amazon Lily, had rushed over. The giant-mink hybrid Callisto was no exception.

They all widened their eyes, staring intently at the pure gold—about the size of a normal human's fist—emitting its eternal glow.

Linlin, who could maintain eternal youth thanks to her Mythical Zoan: Vampire form, and Helen and Gerd, whose giant heritage granted them three times a human's lifespan, were naturally less concerned.

But Tsuru, Sally, Baka, Lillian, and the others all gazed at it with burning anticipation, filled with excitement.

After all, they were no longer young.

Even though they followed Dr. Kureha's longevity and skincare methods and maintained themselves well—looking only in their twenties—their real ages had already exceeded thirty.

Meanwhile, El, being a man and carrying half-giant blood, was still in his prime, growing stronger by the day.

Though they never voiced it aloud, they naturally felt some anxiety about aging.

"I've already sent part of it to the research base," El casually stated, lounging on the sofa with one leg crossed. "I've instructed Ryan to first craft a batch of rings. There will be distinct designs for standard officers, core members, and the Kukulkan family."

"They will be distributed first to key members over forty years old. As for their relatives, eligibility will depend on individual merit."

For the powerful officers, there was no question.

For those less capable, only the founding members of Dreamhouse—who had fought alongside him since the beginning—would receive such privileges.

Going forward, pure gold rings wouldn't be given out freely.

There would be strict limitations, possibly even denying them to anyone below a certain strength threshold.

"Hehe, looks like fate still favors me," Sally chuckled. "If we hadn't found 'pure gold,' I was already planning to become Linlin's Bloodborne in ten years!"

Although no one willingly submits to others, regardless of trust, if there were no other ways to maintain youth, becoming Linlin's blood kin wasn't entirely unacceptable.

By now, Linlin had developed her Mythical Zoan: Vampire abilities to an astonishing degree.

She could now sustain five Bloodborne.

Sally had already planned to talk to Linlin and reserve a spot.

After all, aside from being under Linlin's absolute control, Bloodbornes also gained some of her abilities, meaning their combat prowess could also reach a new level.

"Linlin and Gerd go without saying—your power can still grow significantly…"

El looked at the stunning women present—Tsuru, Linlin, Sally, Gerd, Lillian, and Callisto—each with their own unique charm. He smiled and said:

"Tsuru, Sally, Baka, Gloriosa, Lillian, Callisto… if you still feel you have room for improvement, you might consider waiting before wearing it."

"But if you fear aging once your body starts declining, then after giving birth, you can go ahead and wear the pure gold ring."

"Of course, while you're pregnant, you absolutely cannot wear it…"

"This thing drastically slows biological aging, which might affect fetal development!"

"My strength can still improve a bit—I'm in no rush."

Tsuru smiled. As a Mythical Zoan: Okuchi-no-Makami user, she was only thirty-two years old, and with Dr. Kureha's medicinal wines for longevity and beauty, she was in excellent condition. For now, she didn't need to worry about aging.

"I'm not in a hurry either," Lillian grinned. Although she had already become a legitimate Great Swordsman, she was actually younger than Tsuru, and with pure gold as a fallback, there was no urgency. Even El believed she had a chance to step into the realm of true monsters.

"As for me, I think I've nearly reached my peak," Sally sighed. "Once I give birth, I'll put on the pure gold."

At thirty-four years old, while she still had some time left, most women were naturally physically weaker than men. And since she wasn't a Zoan-type, her growth potential was limited.

Furthermore, after wearing the pure gold ring, her body might be affected—making physical training less effective. Her Armament Haki, tied to physical toughness, would likely hit a ceiling. But she could still train her Observation Haki.

Over the years, she had displayed remarkable talent for Observation Haki. She was already on the verge of foreseeing the future, just one step away. Besides, if she ever wanted to further improve her strength, she could simply remove the ring while training.

"Yeah, I should probably wear mine too…" Gloriosa smiled, toying with the pure gold. "I'll just take it off while training."

She was two years older than Sally. Although she had maintained herself well, considering El was still at his peak, it was natural to feel some anxiety about aging—fearing she might lose her appeal.

Over the years, under El's guidance and thanks to her Logia: Forest-Forest Fruit, plus her persistent training, Gloriosa's strength had skyrocketed. Though she had yet to master Advanced Conqueror's Haki, her Armament and Observation Haki had improved tremendously, making her fully capable of standing up to a Marine Admiral.

Moreover, at El's suggestion, she took Shakuyaku as her disciple. Shakuyaku lacked Conqueror's Haki, but her talent was impressive, leaving Gloriosa quite satisfied. She even requested a high-quality Devil Fruit from El to gift to her student.

Over the past year, the Kuja Pirates had embarked on several expeditions, with Gloriosa leading them personally. She had successfully commanded every mission without issue.

This Empress of Amazon Lily was now ready to abdicate. She planned to step down from ruling Amazon Lily, leaving behind her burdens to permanently stay in Totto Land by El's side.
