## One Piece Chapter 521, pages 3-5: Hoof of the Soaring Dragon - Chapter: 521 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Boa Hancock, Boa Sandersonia, Boa Marigold, Marguerite, Sweet Pea, Aphelandra, Kuja warriors ### Summary Page 3: Luffy answers without hesitation. He drops forward with a huge grin and says, "Okay!! Thanks!! Then please save these guys!!" Hancock, Sandersonia, and Marigold are shocked by how quickly he abandons the chance to leave. Luffy even bows deeply, saying, "Thank you very much!!" The sisters stare in silence, sweating and wide-eyed. Sandersonia reflects, "... A man with that kind of Haki... in order to help those who saved him... is willing to lower his head..." and another thought completes the point: "Without a moment's hesitation..." Luffy's simple choice overturns Hancock's test. He chooses the women who helped him over his own urgent journey, revealing a loyalty and humility the sisters did not expect from a man or an enemy. Page 4: At the coliseum exit, the petrification is undone. Marguerite, Sweet Pea, and Aphelandra stand alive again while friends shout their names: "Margaret!!" "Sweetpea!!" and "Aphelandra!!" One warrior cries, "Everyone! So this is where you were!" Another group says, "Thank goodness you're un-petrified," while others explain, "We were worried!! Going out there to help that man...!!" and ask, "We thought something happened!! Petrified?" Marguerite looks confused, saying, "I have no idea what happened..." while her companions ask, "What happened...?" They do not remember the missing time. The page restores Luffy's friends to life and lets the surrounding Kuja exhale, but it also shows how much of the arena incident has been hidden from ordinary warriors. Page 5: Marguerite tries to reconstruct what happened. She remembers, "When I came to, that man was really happy... and everyone was gone..." while a flashback shows Luffy thanking her and saying, "Thank God, you guys! I don't know what I would do if you guys died!!" The others gather around and ask, "Margaret, what happened to the man?" and, "What about Lady Hebihime? Did she turn the man to stone?" Another says her memory ended after being petrified and asks what happened next. Marguerite answers, "I don't really understand, but... he was taken into Kuja Castle..." The group is stunned: "Eh!? The man was... taken to Kuja Castle...!!?" The page moves the story from the public arena to the private palace, while the Kuja outside are left bewildered by Hancock's sudden decision.
