## One Piece Chapter 522, pages 5-6: Fatal Disease - Chapter: 522 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Marguerite, Elder Nyon, Boa Hancock, Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard ### Summary Page 5: Luffy screams across Amazon Lily when he learns Hancock is a Shichibukai: "EEEHHHHH!?" He asks, "She... she's a Shichibukai? Then... is she really strong!?" Elder Nyon is shocked that he did not know: "You're a pirate, and you didn't know?" Luffy admits, "No, I didn't..." and also says he does not read newspapers. Elder Nyon explains that it has been eleven years since Hancock became the empress and captain of the Kuja Pirates. After a single campaign at sea, an 80 million bounty was placed on her head. That alone, with the already infamous Kuja name, alerted the World Government immediately. They cautiously recommended that Hebihime be added to the Shichibukai, but now she is in danger of losing her title. The page shifts from party comedy to world politics and Hancock's precarious position. Page 6: Luffy is overwhelmed by the political information and shouts, "Wait wait wait, this is too much for me to handle all at once." Elder Nyon tells him his ignorance is almost a prediction, because a battle is likely imminent. Luffy hears the scale and panics: "The Shichibukai and Marine Headquarters...!!? Are going to fight with the Whitebeard Pirates!!? What the hell is going on!?" Elder Nyon explains that the World Government caused this because Whitebeard is not a man who would let one of his men die. They still plan to give Portgas D. Ace, Whitebeard's trusted subordinate, a public execution. Luffy freezes, cup in hand, as the words sink in. The page ends on the phrase "A public execution...!!!" and Luffy's blank stare, beginning the true crisis of the chapter.
