## One Piece Chapter 516, pages 4-5: The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock - Chapter: 516 - Pages: 4-5 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Marguerite, Yuda sea snakes ### Summary Page 4: Marguerite describes the only safe route through the Calm Belt: "LADY HEBIHIME'S PIRATE SHIP IS DRAWN BY FEROCIOUS BEASTS CALLED \"YUDA.\" THEY'RE POISONOUS SEA SNAKES, SO EVEN SEA KINGS WON'T ATTACK. THAT IS THE ONE AND ONLY SHIP IN AMAZON LILY." A note explains that the kanji reads "play snake." Luffy lies thinking and proposes, "THAT'S A PROBLEM...!! THERE'S NO WIND... MAYBE I SHOULD MAKE A RAFT AND PADDLE OUT?" Marguerite flatly calls it stupid. Luffy ignores the warning, cheers, "ALL RIGHT!! I'LL MAKE A RAFT AND PADDLE OUT!!!" and Marguerite screams, "YOU'RE NOT EVEN THINKING TWICE!!?" He quickly assembles a crude log raft and declares, "DONE!!!" but it immediately breaks apart in the surf with "BUKU BUKU..." and heavy crashing sounds. Marguerite yells, "THAT'S TERRIBLE!!! IT'S ALREADY COMING APART!!!" while Luffy tumbles down the cliffside with "GYAAA-AAAH..." Page 5: On the shore, Luffy lies defeated beside the broken raft pieces and admits, "AHH, THAT WAS CLOSE, DAMN IT! IF ONLY FRANKY WAS HERE... THIS IS BAD... I'M THE ONE IN TROUBLE HERE...!! IF ONLY YOU COULD RUN FAR, FAR AWAY..." Marguerite wrings out cloth nearby and tells him, "... I'M NOT OBLIGATED TO HELP YOU...!!" She asks a basic question born from Amazon Lily's isolation: "CAN YOU \"MEN\" EVEN SWIM?" Luffy is still thinking through the problem when Marguerite adds, "IF I GET TOO FRIENDLY WITH YOU, THEN I MIGHT GET ATTACHED." She suddenly whips out or swings her snake weapon toward him, and Luffy shouts, "HEY, STOP THAT!!!" The next instant the ground explodes around him with a violent crash and flying splinters as he cries, "WAH!!" Marguerite yells back, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!?" The page leaves the exact danger unfolding fast: whether she is attacking, warning, or yanking him clear, arrows and pursuit have reached them.
