## One Piece Chapter 517, pages 8-9: Bath Time - Chapter: 517 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Boa Hancock, Elder Nyon, Boa Sandersonia, Boa Marigold, Hancock's snake, Gloriosa, Kuja attendants ### Summary Page 8: Elder Nyon explains why Hancock's position matters beyond pride. The castle and mountain defenses loom as she says, "RIGHT NOW... OUR COUNTRY... IS BEING PROTECTED BY YOUR STATUS AS A SHICHIBUKAI." Long ago, the Calm Belt was their greatest defense, protecting them from foreign invaders. But now, the Government has developed technology that allows its ships to cross that sea. In the throne room, Elder Nyon presses on: because Hancock is a Shichibukai, the Government does not interfere with Amazon Lily despite the Kuja Pirates' actions. If Hancock loses her title and the island returns to being just another pirate country, "IT WILL END IN TRAGEDY!!!" Elder Nyon shouts, "WE HAVE CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY HERE, TOO!!!" Hancock, sipping calmly, asks, "ARE YOU JUST WORRIED FOR YOUR OWN WELL-BEING?" Elder Nyon denies fear for herself: she has lived a good life and does not care when she dies, then offers a crystal ball to illuminate Hancock's future. Page 9: Elder Nyon tries to use her crystal ball, crying "CRYSTAL BALL: GO," but Hancock cuts her off with blunt fury: "YOU'RE SO ANNOYING!!!" She orders, "THROW HER OUT!!!" and the attendants answer, "YES, IMMEDI-ATELY!!" Elder Nyon protests, "WAIT!! HEBIHIME!!" Hancock then addresses her by name and status: "JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE...? YOUR TIME IS LONG OVER... FORMER-FORMER-FORMER EMPRESS OF AMAZON LILY, GLORIOSA!!" Gloriosa flinches, exposed. Hancock insists that even if the country is destroyed, all will forgive her, "BECAUSE OF MY WHIMS..." and repeats the reason: "AFTER ALL... THAT IS BECAUSE I'M BEAUTIFUL!!" She leans backward so far that she is somehow looking down on everyone from below, prompting a comment: "THERE YOU GO AGAIN!! LADY HEBIHIME, THAT POSE SHOWS YOU LOOK DOWN ON OTHERS TOO MUCH!! BUT RATHER THAN LOOKING DOWN, YOU'RE LOOKING UP!!"
