Gloriosa (One Piece)

Gloriosa, also known as Elder Nyon, is a character in One Piece. She is the former first Empress of Amazon Lily (before Shakuyaku (one generation), Tritoma (two generations) and Hancock (three generations)). She adopted and raised the current Empress Boa Hancock and her sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold as her own daughters. She has good relationship with Sonia and Mari. However, she has a bad relationship with Hancock despite of rescuing her and sisters and return to Amazon Lily.
Despite her old age, Nyon is a strong combatant and she can survive being thrown out of a building by Hancock, but also land on her feet unharmed.
She is friends with Silver Rayleigh and Shakuyaku (her successor). She befriended with the Straw Hat Pirates's captain, Monkey D. Luffy, due to him causing an incident on Sabaody Archipelago by punching a Celestial Dragon. After Portgas D. Ace's death, the Kujas (including Gloriosa) sheltered Luffy from the World Government. possibly Gloriosa learned that Luffy's true identity as the son of the Revolutionary, Dragon and the grandson of Marine Hero Garp (who beat her 40 years ago).
After the Warlords' system was abolished due to the actions of both Crocodile and Donquixote Doflamingo as well the invasion of the Marines and Blackbeard Pirates, Gloriosa's life would be endanger if Hancock stays at Amazon Lily. Hancock decided to leave Amazon Lily under both Silvers Rayleigh and the former Amazon Lily's empress Shakuyaku's protection for her reunite with Luffy just to ensure of Hancock's adoptive mother and the Kuja's safety. Although Gloriosa is annoyed by Hancock's beliefs of still wanted to marry Luffy but she wasn't against Hancock's decision to leave and reunite with Luffy since it's the only choice she has left to provide the safety of the Kuja Tribe.
Gloriosa was revealed to be a former member of the Rocks Pirates (along with Whitebeard, Kaido and Big Mom). But she along her fellow crewmates, were defeated and her captain, Rocks D. Xebec was killed by Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp.
She is voiced by Ako Mayama in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Nancy Sherrard in the English version of the anime.

==Trivia== 
*The reason why Hancock called Gloriosa as a "traitor" for leaving Amazon Lily because it is possibly she joined the Rocks Pirates although Hancock is too young to know about the Rocks Pirates.
*It is heavily implied that Gloriosa's former lover was Rocks D. Xebec, which is probably explained how Gloriosa survived from "Love Sickness".
*Despite she learned Luffy's relation with his grandfather Monkey D. Garp, Gloriosa doesn't seem to hold a grudge on Garp or his family even when she was defeated by Garp in the God Valley Incident.
