## One Piece Chapter 517, pages 11-13: Bath Time - Chapter: 517 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Boa Hancock, Gloriosa, Boa Sandersonia, Boa Marigold, Kuja attendants, Kuja women, Kuja children ### Summary Page 11: For a moment Hancock smiles and says, "JUST KIDDING. DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY." Then she shouts, "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!" and Gloriosa is blasted or thrown out of the castle window with a violent impact. The attendants scream, "OOOOHH-HHH!!!" and one cries, "DAMN YOU, HEBI-HIMEEE!!" Hancock coolly claims, "I slipped..." then sweetly adds, "OH YES, YES, THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME." Down below, Gloriosa does not die. She falls hard and rebounds into a landing with "HAIYAA!!!" while the women shout, "ELDER NYON!?" She crosses her arms, breathing hard, and declares, "I MAY HAVE GROWN OLD, BUT I'M STILL A KUJA WARRIOR!!" The page turns Hancock's cruelty into another exaggerated gag, but it also shows Gloriosa's resilience and the old authority she still carries despite being discarded. Page 12: A bell rings through the castle with "KANKAN-KANKAN!!!" and the announcement spreads: "IT IS NOW TIME FOR... LADY HEBIHIME'S BATH!!!" The castle is cleared immediately. Guards order, "GET OUT OF THE CASTLE AT ONCE!!" and attendants herd everyone away while people protest, "... B... BUT I'M EATING." They are told, "LADY HEBIHIME IS TAKING A BATH! NO, NO, WE HAVE TO HURRY!! QUICKLY, GET OUTSIDE...!!" Outside, the crowd gathers in the streets and shops. A woman carrying food remarks, "OH, IT'S BATH TIME..." while another explains, "THE STORES ARE GONNA GET CROWDED WITH EVERYONE FROM THE CASTLE OUT HERE." Even the warriors outside seem to understand the ritual. The page establishes the bath as a strict, island-wide privacy rule: when Hancock bathes, the castle becomes empty and forbidden, creating a dangerous opening for anyone who does not know the custom. Page 13: Outside the castle, banners marked with the Kuja skull emblem are raised, and a note identifies them as "BATH TIME" banners. The announcement is absolute: "FROM NOW ON, ENTERING THE CASTLE IS FORBID-DEN!!!" Children ask why every time Lady Hebihime bathes it becomes such a big deal, wondering whether she simply does not want to be seen naked that much. An older child says it is about "THE SECRET... OF THE THREE GORGON SISTERS" and begins the legend. She explains that the "GORGON" was a monster who lived long ago in the Central Sea, a fearsome being that would turn you to stone if you looked her in the eyes. In the illustration, the Gorgon is shown as a many-eyed, monstrous figure with serpentine hair and staring eyes. The children listen wide-eyed, linking Hancock's bath privacy to myth, curse, and forbidden sight.
