## One Piece Chapter 516, pages 7-8: The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock - Chapter: 516 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Vice Admiral Momonga, Marines, Kuja Pirates ### Summary Page 7: In the Calm Belt seas around the Island of Women, a Marine ship waits near the Kuja vessel and the remains of a Sea King. A Marine tells the Kuja, "YOU CERTAINLY ARE BRAVE, STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF A SEA FULL OF MONSTERS." Another says, "YEAH, WE WERE JUST ATTACKED...!! EVEN THOUGH OUR SHIP IS PLATED WITH KAIROUSEKI." On the Marine deck, the commanding officer worries, "IF WE STAY HERE FOR TOO LONG THEY'LL SPOT US AGAIN." The Marines explain that under the Government's agreement with the Kuja, they are forbidden to come within three kilometers of the Island of Women's coast, so they have no choice but to wait among the sea monster nests. A Kuja woman asks, "AND DID YOU FINISH OFF THAT SEA KING?" A Marine replies that even their cannons did not have much effect. Another nervous soldier says he has heard the Kuja have monsters who can turn men into stone, though a comrade dismisses it as ridiculous. Page 8: The Kuja ship sits beside the sliced-open Sea King carcass, its striped hull and tall masts looming in the Calm Belt. A Kuja speaker explains casually, "SO I SLICED HIM OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OUT. I'D LIKE TO LEAVE THIS SEA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE." The Marine commander answers, "YES, IT SEEMS YOU ARE QUITE STRONG...!!" He then introduces himself formally: "I AM VICE ADMIRAL MOMONGA OF MARINE HEAD-QUARTERS!!!" Addressing the Kuja Pirates, he says, "WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU, AND NOW YOU'VE FINALLY COME BACK, KUJA PIRATES!!" His voice carries across the ships as he calls, "ROYAL SHICHIBUKAI, 'PIRATE EMPRESS' BOA HANCOCK!! SHOW YOUR FACE!! WE'VE COME TO RETRIEVE YOU!!!" The page frames the confrontation between the World Government and Amazon Lily through two ships facing each other, with Momonga demanding Hancock's cooperation while the Kuja remain confident in waters no ordinary crew could survive.
