## One Piece Chapter 518, pages 13-15: Coliseum - Chapter: 518 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Bacura, Kuja spectators, Boa Hancock ### Summary Page 13: Bacura towers over Luffy, jaws open in a savage roar of "GARU-RURU-RUU!!!" Luffy, newly freed from the ropes, watches with narrowed eyes and a dry "KOK" in his throat, but he does not run. The black panther lunges with enormous force. In a blur of motion and impact, Luffy drives a brutal counterattack into Bacura, smashing the executioner aside with a huge crashing blow. The beast cries "GYA-BUU!!!" as it is knocked backward, mouth gaping and teeth flashing. The arena crowd erupts in stunned disbelief, one voice shouting "EH!?" as the supposedly unstoppable executioner crumples. Luffy's face in the final close-up is no longer confused or comical. His eyes are sharp, shadowed, and furious. The attack makes clear that Bacura is not the terrifying threat here; Luffy's anger over the petrified women is. Page 14: Bacura crashes into the arena wall with a tremendous impact as spectators scream, "BACURA...!!!" Hancock watches in tense silence. The crowd cannot believe it: "HE'S STRONG...!!! BACURA WAS... BEATEN WITH ONE ATTACK?!" Others note the most shocking part: "HE DIDN'T USE HAKI! THEN THAT WAS JUST BRUTE STRENGTH!?" Another woman says, "... THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU...!!" Luffy turns his fury on the coliseum and shouts, "WHILE SHE WAS TURNING YOUR FRIENDS TO STONE... HOW COULD YOU ALL SIT THERE LAUGHING LIKE IDIOTS!!?" His anger is not for himself; it is for the women punished for saving him. The page breaks the crowd's easy devotion to Hancock for a moment, because Luffy names the cruelty plainly and makes the spectators confront what they applauded. Page 15: The Kuja crowd refuses to accept Luffy's rebuke. They call him "THAT SAVAGE" and "WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLY BARBARIC CREATURE!!" One woman insists, "WE FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE THREE, BUT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH WHAT LADY HEBIHIME DID!!" Another shouts, "THEY WERE WRONG FOR BREAKING OUR COUNTRY'S LAWS!!" Hancock looks down over the arena and repeats her absolute justification: "NO MATTER WHAT I DO... I WILL BE FORGIVEN...!! AND THAT IS BECAUSE... YES, IT'S BECAUSE I'M BEAUTIFUL!!!" The crowd instantly melts again, cheering "LADY HEBIHIME!" and "KYAAA!" with hearts floating through the stands. Hancock asks Luffy, "... FUFU, DON'T YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY...?" Luffy stands below her, still furious and unmoved. The page shows the island's worship of Hancock overpowering sympathy, law, and ordinary moral judgment.
