Uta's Idol.

The Volour Family.

I'm so sorry this chapter took so long, but it went through many changes before I could get comfortable with releasing it. The main focus of this chapter will be about what Abell has gone through during her travels, specifically Amazon Lily. The chapter may be a bit boring, but all of the following lore will play an important part in this story in the future. Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy this chapter after a long wait. I don't own One Piece.

About a week before Abell successfully met up with Uta, Abell first went to Amazon Lily thinking that Uta was there. After seeing the news of Uta's wanted poster, Abell had no choice but to go and get her. It was a non-eventful, yet stressful trip to the Island of Women as Abell could think of the many things that could go wrong. She had got the intel she needed from Shakky prior and the warnings she gave Abell gave her some concern. Plus, there was a chance she could meet her. Once Abell approaches the island, she notices several large battleships docked nearby.

"Huh, that's strange." Abell said as she pulled out her telescope. "Those are Marine vessels. I wonder what they are doing here."

Shakky told Abell about Hancock's dislike for the World Government so it confused her even more.

"This will make things hard." Abell sighs as she puts down her telescope. "I can't be seen going to an island ruled by pirates by the Marines. I need to sneak around, but I don't want to look like an intruder to the Kuja."

Abell taps her foot as she thinks on what she could do.

Splash!

The sound of water splashing snaps Abell out of her thoughts and she looks starboard to see what was in the ocean. Abell was shocked to see two young women bobbing in the waves. Abell reaches for her chain in preparation at the sight. They were, without a doubt, Kuja warriors.

Impressive. I couldn't sense them coming with my haki. Abell thought as she awaits nervously. I'm at a disadvantage if they attack me from the sea. Are they friend or foe?

The two Kujas jump from the ocean and onto the deck forcing Abell to take a fighting stance.The two Kujas looked no older than Abell being at least twenty years of age and both had snakes coiled around their waist. One Kuja had a thick frame and had long brown hair while the other was a taller woman with blond bobbed cut hair.

"You are 'Eastern Wave' Abell, are you not?" one of the women asks excitedly.

"...Yeah."

The two girls squeal with delight and run to Abell to shake her hand.

"We are such big fans of yours!" said the other Kuja. "We have been awaiting your arrival!"

"You know me?" Abell asks awkwardly.

"Of course!" answers one of the Kuja. "Red and her Section Leaders are the idols in Amazon Lily!"

"That's surprising." Abell said, rubbing her neck. "I didn't expect that we would be famous among the Kuja."

At the very least, I can rest easy knowing that Uta was safe with them. Abell said, letting out a sigh. "Mind leading me to the island? I need to pick up Red."

"We can lead you to the bay that's on the opposite end of our island." one of the Kuja said. "Away from the Marines."

"Why are the Marines here?" Abell asks. "On some Warlord business?"

"The Snake Princess can tell you all about it." answers the Kuja. "For now, let's go and make haste."

Without letting Abell retort, the two Kuja jump back into the ocean and begin to swim back to the island. Abell was shocked on how casually those two could swim in sea king infested waters, but seeing as she has no other option, Abell steers the boat along the same path as the Kuja. Eventually, the Kuja lead Abell to the bay in the back of the island full of jungle and a rickety old dock. After setting anchor, the Kuja guides Abell through the jungle of Amazon Lily and to the city plaza. Due to the Marines coming into the island, Abell had to be careful regarding her presence on the island and so they went through the back alleyway. Another thing that Abell noticed was that all of the Marines were female.
