Luffy, Marguerite, Kuja warriors ### Summary Page 0: The chapter opens with the title text, "Chapter 517: \"BATH TIME\"." The cover story continues as "CP9 INDEPENDENT ACTION REPORT VOL. 24: \"CP9 LEAVES SAINT POPLA.\"" A sailing ship moves across open water under full canvas, with the CP9 members visible aboard as they depart the town that had become unsafe for them. The sea is calm but heavily shaded, birds circle overhead, and the vessel looks small against the wide horizon. The cover image has no direct connection to Luffy's current Amazon Lily crisis, but it continues the independent CP9 side story: after the previous town scenes, they have now left Saint Popla by ship. Scanner-hosting boilerplate below the artwork is unrelated and ignored. Page 1: The enormous gates of Amazon Lily open with a heavy "GAKON..." as someone commands, "OPEN THE GATES!!!" and the cry spreads: "LADY HEBIHIME HAS RETURNED!!!" The Kuja Pirates' ship passes through the mountain gate while the city erupts in welcome. Women wave from the road and buildings, shouting, "WELCOME HOME!!!" and "WELCOME HOME, KUJA PIRATES!!" The Yuda sea snakes pull the vessel into the inner harbor, their long necks rising above the crowd. One group cheers, "WE GOT A HUGE HAUL!! ZAHAHAHAHA!!" while others call out names in excitement, including "KYAAA, RAN!! DAISY!!" The page turns Hancock's return into a public celebration: the whole island crowds around the route, delighted by the pirates' safe return and their plunder, while the forbidden man crisis remains hidden offstage. Page 2: The Gorgon Sisters disembark in triumph. Boa Hancock strides at the center, long hair and cloak flowing, while Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold flank her and the crowd showers them with admiration. Women cry, "LADY HEBIHIME!!!" "HER BEAUTY KNOWS NO BOUNDS!!" "LADY SANDER-SONIA!!" and "LADY MARIGOLD!!" Children gush, "THEY'RE SO COOL!!!" and "I'M GONNA JOIN THEM SOMEDAY!" while others shout, "KYAAAA!!! IT'S THE GORGON SISTERS!!" A Kuja attendant thanks Hancock for her work and says, "WE HAVE PREPARED YOUR CARRIAGE." Hancock, however, immediately turns to the state of the country and asks, "HAS ANYTHING CHANGED HERE?" The answer comes carefully: "NO, NOT A THING..." The lie is heavy, because Luffy's intrusion has already broken the island's deepest rule, but the people dare not disturb their beloved empress. Page 3: The Kuja unload plunder in the city, displaying goods from the voyage. One woman proudly says, "THIS IS AN AMAZING HAUL!! STEEL, GUNPOW-DER, SAKE, AND PRODUCE FROM THE NORTH!!" Another explains, "WE PLUNDERED TWO MERCHANT SHIPS AND A PIRATE SHIP. AND RIGHT BEFORE WE GOT BACK, WE TOOK THE CARGO OF A GOVERNMENT SHIP!" Elder Nyon appears among the crowd and asks, "RAN, DID YOU GET ANY BOOKS?" When addressed as "ELDER NYON!" she is handed a paper: "THE GOVERNMENT SHIP WE MET JUST NOW HAD THIS NEWSPAPER. HERE YOU GO." The scene then cuts to Amazon Lily, Kuja Castle, where the citizens call, "WELCOME BACK!" and "WELCOME BACK, LADY HEBIHIME." From within the castle approach, Hancock notices something and asks her attendant, "... ENISHIDA, WHAT IS THIS?" The question points toward a gift waiting inside the palace. Page 4: Enishida explains the object placed in Hancock's room: "A CLAY STATUE OF YOU, LADY HEBIHIME, THAT THE CHILDREN FROM THE VILLAGE WORKED VERY HARD ON." Another attendant says, "THEY EVEN PAINTED IT... I'M SURE THAT IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM." Enishida adds, "THEY CARRIED IT TO THE CASTLE VERY CAREFULLY, SO AS NOT TO BREAK IT. IT WAS VERY CUTE..." Hancock studies the handmade statue, which awkwardly imitates her face and pose, and says only, "I SEE... THEY MADE ME OUT OF CLAY..." Then she suddenly smashes it apart with a violent crash. An attendant screams, "IT'S RUINING THE DECOR OF THIS ROOM..." while Hancock declares, "IT'S SO UGLY...!!" and orders, "DON'T BRING SUCH FILTHY THINGS INTO THE CASTLE!! JUST THROW IT AWAY AND CLEAN UP THE FLOOR!! MORE IMPORTANTLY, ENISHIDA..." The children's devotion means nothing to her when it offends her sense of beauty. Page 5: Hancock asks why the warriors are not at the port to defend the kingdom: "I DIDN'T SEE THE WARRIORS DEFENDING OUR KINGDOM AT THE PORT." Enishida nervously explains, "... AH, ABOUT THAT... IT SEEMS THAT A DANGEROUS 'MONKEY' WAS SPOTTED IN THE JUNGLE... AND SO, THEY ALL WENT TO SUBDUE IT!! BUT DO NOT WORRY, THEY WILL RETURN SOON. MY APOLOGIES THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECEIVE YOU." Hancock dismisses the matter: "A MONKEY...? WELL, WHATEVER..." One of her snake companions murmurs "NYORO NYORO" as she asks, "WOULD YOU LIKE SOMETHING TO DRINK?" Hancock settles in regally and replies, "BRING ME SOME WHITE SAKE." The sn...
