## One Piece Chapter 516, pages 2-3: The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock - Chapter: 516 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Marguerite, Borsalino, Sentomaru, Bartholomew Kuma ### Summary Page 2: In the jungle of Amazon Lily, Marguerite looks over Luffy's altered outfit and says, "HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE FRILLS? MEN ARE SUCH STRANGE CREATURES...!!" Luffy, now stripped of the decorative frills, answers simply, "WELL... WHATEVER. THANKS FOR TAKING THEM OFF." He decides, "WELL THEN, I'LL BE ON MY WAY," but admits his real anxiety: "IF I DON'T MEET UP WITH MY FRIENDS, I WON'T BE ABLE TO CALM DOWN." Marguerite notices, "YOU LOOK RESTLESS." Luffy clenches his fist and thinks through the scattered Straw Hats: "IF THEY'RE ALL ALIVE LIKE I AM... THEN EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE!! AS LONG AS WE'RE ALIVE, WE CAN FIGHT THEM AS MANY TIMES AS WE NEED...!!!" The enemies who overwhelmed them flash through his mind, including Kizaru, Sentomaru, and Kuma, as he vows, "WE'LL SURPASS THEM ALL!!!" The page turns panic into determination: the crew is gone, but Luffy refuses to treat separation as defeat. Page 3: Luffy prepares to leave immediately, shouting "HWOO OOH!!!" and declaring, "ALL RIGHT, I'M GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE SHABONDY ARCHI-PELAGO WHILE WALKING ON MY HANDS!!! THAT WAY, I'LL GET STRONGER!!!" Marguerite watches him run off and says, "YOU REALLY ARE RESTLESS, HUH..." Luffy then asks the obvious logistical question: "AH!! WILL YOU GIVE ME A BOAT?" Marguerite answers with disbelief and concern as the jungle opens toward the sea: "YOU DON'T HAVE ANY BOATS!?" She explains the trap he has fallen into: "THIS IS... THE CALM BELT!!" A distant view shows Amazon Lily isolated in still waters, with a huge sea monster carcass or skull-like body near the island. Marguerite says, "THAT'S RIGHT. THIS ISLAND OF WOMEN IS IN THE CALM BELT. GIANT SEA KINGS LIVE IN THE WATERS AROUND THE ISLAND. THAT'S WHY SAILORS NEVER COME BY." Even if a castaway reached shore, she adds, by the time they arrived, "THEY'RE JUST A CORPSE."
