## One Piece Chapter 516, pages 14-15: The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock - Chapter: 516 - Pages: 14-15 - Characters: Boa Hancock, Vice Admiral Momonga, Boa Sandersonia, Boa Marigold, Marines ### Summary Page 14: Momonga senses the danger and warns his men, "SHE'S PLANNING SOMETHING!!! DON'T SHOW ANY WEAKNESS!!" He recalls the rumors: "I'VE HEARD RUMORS ABOUT THE KUJA PIRATES. ALL THE SHIPS THAT ATTACK THE KUJA SHIP ARE LATER FOUND WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A MAN, CARRYING ONLY STRANGE STONE STATUES!" Momonga insists again, "I TOLD YOU BEFORE, DON'T THINK WE'LL GRANT YOUR SELFISH DEMANDS!!" Sandersonia laughs, "FUFUFUFU, MY SISTER CERTAINLY HAS A TERRIBLE PERSONALITY." Marigold agrees, "YES... BUT SHE IS ALWAYS FORGIVEN," adding, "AND THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT...!!" Hancock strolls forward while the bewitched Marines stare with hearts in their eyes. She asks, "DO YOU KNOW WHY? NO MATTER WHAT I DO, WHETHER I KICK A KITTEN... RIP OFF YOUR EARS... OR EVEN KILL PEOPLE IN COLD BLOOD... THE WORLD WILL ALWAYS FORGIVE ME...!! AND THAT IS BECAUSE," setting up her final answer. Page 15: Hancock finishes her declaration with absolute confidence: "INDEED, I AM BEAUTIFUL!!!" The close-up centers her face, earrings, and poised hand as the surrounding sound effect suggests the men falling madly in love. The Marines lose control, screaming "KYAAA! LADY HEBIHIME~~" while their officers yell, "STOP THAT, MEN!!!" Hancock turns her back to them and explains the attack: "GUILTY HEARTS, CHARMED BY MY BEAUTY, WILL PETRIFY YOUR BODIES...!!" Momonga notices the movement with alarm, "!?" Hancock forms a heart with her hands and releases the technique, calling, "MERO MERO" and then "MELLOW!!!" A note clarifies the sound effect is for falling madly in love. The page presents her power as both supernatural and psychological: the Marines' attraction is the opening she needs, and she weaponizes their surrendered attention into a petrifying beam.
