## One Piece Chapter 516, pages 11-12: The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock - Chapter: 516 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Boa Hancock, Boa Sandersonia, Boa Marigold, Kuja Pirates, Vice Admiral Momonga, Marines ### Summary Page 11: The Gorgon Sisters are introduced in a commanding spread on the Kuja ship. Boa Sandersonia, the second daughter, stands with long hair and a snake-like tongue; Boa Hancock stands in the center as "Amazon Lily Empress, Captain of the Kuja Pirates, Royal Shichibukai, 'The Empress' Boa Hancock"; and Boa Marigold, the youngest daughter, stands broad and imposing with huge flowing hair. Hancock tells the Marines, "SO YOU MEDDLESOME MEN HAVE FINALLY COME FOR ME..." and dismisses their paperwork: "THAT RESPONSE FROM THE OTHER DAY WAS A FAKE!! WE WILL NOT BE GOING TO WAR!!" Yet she refuses to lose status: "BUT, I WOULD RATHER NOT RELINQUISH MY POSITION AS A SHICHIBUKAI...!!" She adds another demand, looking down on them calmly: "AND YOUR SHIP'S CARGO... I WOULD LIKE THAT AS WELL." The spread establishes Hancock's authority, beauty, arrogance, and the terrifying support of her sisters before the negotiation even begins. Page 12: Momonga and the Marines stare at Hancock's outrageous demands. A Marine shouts, "THAT'S RIDICULOUS!!!" and Momonga snaps, "WHAT KIND OF SPOILED LITTLE BRAT ARE YOU!!? DO YOU REALLY THINK WE'LL GRANT YOUR UNREASONABLE DESIRES!!" Yet the lower-ranking Marines immediately crumble under her charm, hearts floating around them as they say, "WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN," "I WANT TO GIVE HER ANYTHING SHE WANTS," and "COME ON, HURRY!" One panicked officer asks, "WHY ARE YOU BRINGING OUT THE CARGO!!? OPEN YOUR EYES!!!" Another answers helplessly, "OH NO, I SUDDENLY STARTED DOING WHAT SHE TOLD ME!!" Momonga, still disciplined, returns to the war: "THE EXECUTION WILL BE EXACTLY ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!! AT THE PLAZA IN THE TOWN OF MARINEFORD, OWNED BY MARINE HEAD-QUARTERS, FIRE FIST ACE'S LIFE WILL END!" The political stakes of Hancock's refusal now sit directly beside Ace's impending execution.
