Chapter 518 summary
Sandersonia and Marigold rush into the bath chamber and discover Luffy with Hancock. Hancock fires her Mero Mero Mellow attack at Luffy twice but he remains unaffected and does not turn to stone. Luffy flees the tower only to be captured by the Kuja and dragged into the coliseum. Hancock questions him about his arrival and rejects his request for a boat while the crowd demands his death. Marguerite confesses to bringing Luffy into the country and Hancock petrifies her along with Sweet Pea and Aphelandra. Luffy defeats the executioner beast Bacura with one blow after the snake ropes release him. The crowd defends Hancock's actions and cheers her beauty while Luffy shouts his anger at her. Hancock reacts with shock and orders his execution as the spectators chant.
