## One Piece Chapter 519, pages 8-10: The Disposition of a King - Chapter: 519 - Pages: 8-10 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Boa Marigold, Boa Sandersonia, Kuja spectators ### Summary Page 8: Luffy is slammed around the arena with a violent crash and cries, "O... ow...!! Why did that hurt!? I'm made of rubber!!" The crowd laughs and points, shouting, "Look! I knew he was just bluffing!!" while another says, "But it's true that men can stretch! How interesting!" Luffy clings to Marigold's tail and asks in confusion, "Why!? Am I not made of rubber anymore? As if that could happen! But then why does it hurt when I get hit!?" Marigold presses the attack with a sweeping pole strike, and Luffy yells "WAH!!" as he dodges through the moving coils. The page captures his growing confusion: his Devil Fruit body still stretches, but the sisters' blows bypass the protection he normally takes for granted. Page 9: Luffy is caught and squeezed by Sandersonia's coils, shouting, "UGYA-GYAGYA-GYA!!!" as she lifts him up. Marigold lazily scolds her sister, "You're so mean, Mari... playing with him all by yourself...!!!" Luffy, upside down and battered, snaps, "Seriously, why am I getting hurt!? I'm made of rubber!!" Sandersonia smiles and says, "Ufufu... So you... have a Devil Fruit power, too..." but she adds the decisive point: "But you can't use Haki. Most outsiders are like that... and that's why they're weak." Luffy tries to strike again, calling, "EH!?" as Marigold asks for her turn. Sandersonia's explanation gives the reader a name for the mystery: the sisters' attacks hurt him because they are using Haki, a power Luffy does not yet understand. Page 10: Sandersonia reads Luffy's movements before he can land anything, and Luffy realizes, "She read my moves...!!!" She darts aside with "Ufufu" and sends him crashing down with "Snake Slam!!!" The margin note explains that "snake" is used as a pun sounding like "heavy," matching the force of the blow. Luffy hits the ground with a strained "FUGEH!!" and thinks, "This isn't gonna work like usual." Still, he rises and begins another attack: "Gomu Gomu..." The page shows that the sisters' advantage is not only durability. Sandersonia anticipates where Luffy will strike and punishes him before he can complete his normal rhythm, making his usual elastic brawling style unreliable in front of Haki users.
