Summary:
In the jungle of Amazon Lily, Luffy gets his clothes adjusted by Marguerite, who he thanks before running off to meet his crewmates. As he runs, he realizes that he needs a ship to get back to the Sabaody Archipelago, but is shocked to realize that there are no ships on the Amazon Lilies, as he learns that the island is in a calm belt and is surrounded by sea kings. Only the Pirate Empress herself has a ship on the island. Marguerite explains that the reason only the Pirate Empress can safely leave the island and the tranquil strip is because her ship is being towed by two giant poisonous sea serpents called Yuda, which even the Sea Kings never dare to attack because they know how bad it is for them will end Luffy decides on a raft, but is quickly forced to abandon the idea due to his inability to design a good one.
As he lies down talking to Marguerite, the Amazon quickly gets up and aims her arrow at his head, intending to kill him, but misses as he avoids her weapon. Several more arrows are aimed at Luffy, who is reminded of their intense power despite appearing ordinary, something Marguerite notes is natural when imbued with Haki. As the other women attack Luffy, one of them comments that it is necessary for them to take him out since Boa Hancock has returned.
Out on the seas, a naval ship is anchored to rendezvous with the Amazon ship, which the world government has forbidden from getting too close. Vice Admiral Momonga, who had to kill even the Sea King, requests a meeting with Boa Hancock, the pirate empress of the Seven Sea Warriors. However, Hancock’s pirate crew tells him that she will not meet him, prompting him to remind her that she agreed to attend the Warlords meeting regarding the execution of Portgas D. Ace, the commander of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates. Hearing that her status as a warrior will be revoked if she disobeys the summons, Hancock appears in person and states that she lied before, but still does not want to lose her status, in addition to asking for all the cargo on the Marine Corps ship. . Hearing this, the men on the ship attempt to hand over their possessions before a furious Momonga stops them, telling Hancock that it’s in a week and Whitebeard will definitely make a move in that time.
Told that the three naval admirals will lead all forces against Whitebeard, Hancock is once again asked to either answer the call or have her warrior status revoked. Hancock reiterates that she does not want her status revoked, but that she will not answer the call, instead suggesting that all marines be turned to stone. As the men reminisce about the scary stories of the Kuja pirates, Momonga berates her for her selfishness, but the Amazons counter that whatever Hancock does, she will be forgiven because she is beautiful. As everyone nearby makes out over her, Hancock aims the technique at the naval ship, turning everyone on it into stone statues. Upon inspection, he notices that Momonga was the only survivor as she stabbed his arm to remove his other senses. As the Amazons return to their island, Momonga tells Hancock that he will wait two days and if he does not return, the contract will be void, but Hancock is unconcerned.
