Hancock began to make plans in her heads for the moment she left with Luffy as she knew she would have to take the Marine's ship to the Gaol. If any hint of her involvement with a pirate like Luffy was made known, then her island would be under attack from a much more powerful force. Unless one was able to stack the deck in the opposite direction.
'The ring is the most power tool and weapon in it's universe. If even just some of the Kuja like my sisters or Elder Nyon were to be gifted with the rings... Ring, can you hear my thoughts? Is it possible to make copies of the rings?' she thought as she looked with what appeared to be distane at her sisters and the elder.
'The ring can replicate itself, it can also replicate the lantern required for recharging the ring. Yours is stored in a special section of sub-space. If multiple Star Sapphires are to be created, it would be best to design a central lantern power battery to keep the optimium power for all lantern batteries. Central lantern power battery designs are also recorded in the ring's database, in case of emergancies like destruction of most of the Star Sapphire corps.' came the comment from the ring as it responded to her thoughts and questions.
"Elder, sisters, I have a means to give you the power to protect the Kuja from the Marines and the world government. The ring I hold can create copies of itself and convert you to the power of the Star Sapphire Corps, the power to do almost anything in the universe. As long as you are willing to hold it and contain the power of love which powers it.
I select the three of you to wield them for now, as the rings require the element of loss. Whether it is the lost of being a slave and a love of freedom or the loss of a love from a man, the three of you are the best I can think of to hold the power of the rings. This will allow you to build defenses against the Marines when I leave, to protect the island in case I do not return. I feel my destiney is linked with the fate of Monkey D. Luffy. Do you accept this?"
"Of course, sister. We believe in you." said Sandersonia as she took the information in.
"But why do you have to go off with that 'man' of all things?" said Marigold as she was confused why her sister was so bent on following this man.
Nyon looked at Hancock like she was trying to study what was in the beautiful woman's head from her facial expression and eyes. The older woman took her time as she rubbed her chin, deep with thought. Then the elder said, "Yes, I will accept this power."
Hancock nodded and pointed her ring at the trio before speaking, "It will take a time to convert you, which can be as long as seconds or weeks. It all depends on if you resist or if you accept the transformation. Be prepared to have your eyes opened."
The Empress fired the ring and beams of violet light covered the trio and froze them into crystals of the same colour as the light. It was not long before the three of the crystalized woman broke from the violet material and were revealed in more conservative versions of the outfit their leader wore. Likely a cause of the ring, as it now seems to have a flaunt it if you got it attitude.
She retracted her costume which was followed by the others. The dark-haired woman then began to express her plans, "Prepare the ship to sail to the Marine vessal, and prepare for the case I do not return. Marigold and Sandersonia, I leave you in charge until I return or until you know I will not return. There are also a few other factors which must be made ready before I leave. This is what needs to be done."
They all listened to the woman as she mapped out a plan for how to smuggle Luffy into the greatest prison in the world, one with only a single escaped prisoner in all of it's history. There was also a need to hide the rings from the world, for if they were known... nothing would stop the most powerful forces on their world from trying to grasp them as well.
