## One Piece Chapter 524, pages 13-15: Nobody Can Stop This Anymore - Chapter: 524 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Boa Hancock, Salome, Marine crew, Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard, Marine officers ### Summary Page 13: A Marine at the door glimpses Luffy's hand or movement and asks, "I... is that...!?" Another warns him that anyone who tries to peek into Hancock's room ends up like the burned, battered intruder lying outside the door. Inside, Hancock invites Luffy, "Luffy... come now... take a bite." Luffy eats the sea king ham and says it is ridiculously good. Hancock blushes at the compliment, saying that when he feeds her anything, it becomes the sweetest food in the world. Luffy, stuffed with food and lounging on Salome, tells her to eat too because the sea king ham is good. Hancock, overcome by the intimacy, thinks that to be talking like that is wonderful, while Luffy says he is fine and just feels full rather than hungry. Page 14: Luffy groans that he is stuffed, with a huge belch sound, then declares, "Damn that was good!!!" Hancock reminds him not to forget that he is supposed to be hiding. A knock comes at the door, and Marines ask if someone else is in her room. Luffy panics behind her and blurts, "Bu...!! Buheeh, I'm stuffed!!" The Marines debate whether they really heard something and joke that if Hancock said that, one of them will get a mohawk. Hancock calmly pushes out dirty plates and orders them taken away, saying she needs a meal like this five times a day. The Marines shout that it does not leave anything for them, while Hancock says she does not care if they all die. Even the crew admits she is terrible but beautiful. Page 15: Narration states that Portgas D. Ace's public execution is six days away. Since Whitebeard destroyed all the patrol boats around him, tensions are running high at Marine Headquarters. Luffy sits in silence aboard the Marine ship, holding food but staring ahead with the weight of Ace's situation on his face. At the port in Marineford, more and more famous and powerful Marines arrive every day. The page shows grim officers and armed forces gathering under the towering structures of the headquarters, turning the setting into a military fortress preparing for war. The quiet panels contrast Luffy's private urgency with the public escalation around Ace's execution and Whitebeard's expected response.
