## One Piece Chapter 521, pages 0-2: Hoof of the Soaring Dragon - Chapter: 521 - Pages: 0-2 - Characters: Marine pursuers, CP9, Monkey D. Luffy, Boa Hancock, Boa Sandersonia, Boa Marigold, Marguerite, Sweet Pea, Aphelandra ### Summary Page 0: The chapter opens with the title text, "Chapter 521: \"HOOF OF THE SOARING DRAGON\"." The cover story continues as "CP9 INDEPENDENT ACTION REPORT VOL. 27: \"PURSUERS ARRIVE - OPERATION CAPTURE CP9.\"" A squad of Marines races through a wooded town area in pursuit, weapons drawn and faces tense. Several uniformed soldiers run across the grass with rifles and swords, while a large Marine with a broad dark hairstyle leads the group from the foreground. A ship and buildings appear in the background, indicating that the pursuers have arrived at the location connected to CP9's independent cover story. The image is a side-story extra rather than part of Amazon Lily's main plot, and the manga-hosting footer below the artwork is unrelated boilerplate. Page 1: After the coliseum battle, Sandersonia and Marigold bow their heads in shame before Hancock. They apologize, "We're sorry, sister!!" and admit, "Not only did we lose, but we were even saved by the enemy!" Luffy, still on the platform near the petrified women, asks Hancock, "Are you going to fight me next...?" Hancock, however, has no appetite for it after watching him protect her sister's secret. She says, "No, that's enough... I don't feel like it...!!" Luffy looks over Marguerite's stone body and says, "I see... Looks like she didn't crack..." The page shifts the confrontation from physical combat to consequences: the sisters have been humbled, Hancock is shaken, and Luffy's immediate concern is still the people turned to stone because of him. Page 2: Luffy presses Hancock about the petrified women: "You can do something like that, right? Turn these guys back to normal!!" He insists, "They were just helping me out. They didn't do anything wrong!!" Hancock's eyes narrow, but she answers, "I certainly can undo the petrification." Then she reveals the condition: "But... you said there's somewhere you want to go by boat, right? I will take only one of your requests...!! Either I change them back or I let you leave the island!! Choose one and abandon the other!! Show your true nature, you man...!!" Luffy stares at her as she makes the test explicit. Hancock expects him to reveal selfishness, forcing him to choose between his own escape and the lives of Marguerite, Sweet Pea, and Aphelandra.
