## One Piece Chapter 521, pages 7-8: Hoof of the Soaring Dragon - Chapter: 521 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Boa Hancock, Hancock's snake, Boa Sandersonia, Boa Marigold, Hachi ### Summary Page 7: Luffy steps behind the curtain and finds Hancock naked except for a sheet and her giant snake companion coiled around her. He recoils and says, "Excuse m-... that's not food!" then blurts, "Hey! Why are you naked?" Hancock calmly replies, "That was a very rude response... but I suppose that's to be expected." She tells him, "Very well..." and turns her back to him. Pulling her hair aside, she reveals the black mark between her shoulders and says, "This mark...!! You said you had seen it somewhere before... Take a good look at it now." Luffy stares in confusion. The page changes the tone from comedy to vulnerability, as Hancock deliberately exposes the exact secret she once wanted to kill him for seeing. Page 8: Hancock asks, "Where have you seen it...? Do you know what this symbol means?" Luffy studies the mark, unsure, while Hancock presses, "Answer me already...!! This is not something that I show off to people...!!" Luffy finally says, "Well, the one that I have seen is a little different...!!" He remembers Hachi and explains, "One of my friends, a fishman named Hachi... has a similar mark on his forehead, and I got it mixed up with that. I don't know what that mark is!" Hancock decides that if he does not know, she will tell him. The page connects Hancock's hidden brand to the symbol on Hachi, setting up the distinction between the original mark of enslavement and the altered Sun Pirates mark Luffy remembers.
