## One Piece Chapter 518, pages 8-9: Coliseum - Chapter: 518 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Boa Hancock, Marguerite, Kuja spectators, Sweet Pea, Aphelandra, Kikyo ### Summary Page 8: Marguerite can no longer stay silent. She shouts from the stands, "PLEASE WAIT!! LADY HEBIHIME!!" Hancock turns, surprised. The crowd recognizes her: "MARGARET!!" Marguerite says, trembling but firm, "... TH-THIS MAN... DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WOULD LIE!! HE REALLY MEANS EVERYTHING THAT HE SAYS...!! I TRULY DON'T BELIEVE HE MEANS TO BRING HARM TO OUR COUNTRY!!" Luffy brightens and calls up to her, "OH, YOU!! THAT'S RIGHT, THANKS FOR SPEAKING UP FOR ME!!" Hancock asks whether she is one of the guardian warriors, and Marguerite introduces herself: "I AM CALLED MARGARET." Hancock presses the central contradiction: "THE MOMENT THAT MAN ENTERED OUR COUNTRY, WHERE MEN ARE FORBIDDEN, HIS DEATH WAS CERTAIN. WHY DO YOU STAND UP FOR HIM?" Marguerite answers with responsibility: "... I FEEL RESPONSIBLE...!! I WAS THE ONE WHO ALLOWED THIS MAN TO ENTER OUR COUNTRY." Page 9: The other guardian warriors panic when Marguerite speaks. Kikyo shouts, "MARGARET...! WHY!?" Sweet Pea adds, "LADY HEBIHIME!! TH... THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT!!" She explains, "THAT'S RIGHT!! WE FOUND THIS MAN IN THE FOREST, COVERED WITH MUSH-ROOMS!! WE THOUGHT HE WAS FROM THE VILLAGE, SO WE JUST TOOK HIM BACK WITH US...!!" and calls, "SWEETPEA!! APHELANDRA!!" On the arena floor, Sweet Pea and Aphelandra join Marguerite in taking responsibility, saying that if Marguerite is punished, they are responsible too. Luffy grins despite the danger and says, "WEREN'T YOU GUYS TRYING TO KILL ME A LITTLE WHILE AGO? JEEZ, YOU TURNED OUT TO BE NICE PEOPLE AFTER ALL, SHISHISHI!!" The crowd murmurs that Marguerite is too honest. Another Kuja says, "IF THEY SAY THAT, THEN..." and Hancock begins descending from her throne, the sound of her steps cutting through the murmurs.
