## One Piece Chapter 517, pages 17-18: Bath Time - Chapter: 517 - Pages: 17-18 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Boa Hancock, Kuja women ### Summary Page 17: Luffy hits the castle roof hard and tries to brace himself, but the structure breaks beneath him. He shouts, "DOWAA!! IT BROKE!!" as he crashes through with a massive "GASHAAAN!!" From outside, the villagers look up in horror: "WHAT!!? THE ROOF OF THE CASTLE TOWER COLLAPSED!!" Another realizes, "ISN'T THAT WHERE LADY HEBIHIME IS TAKING HER BATH!?" Inside, Luffy plunges into hot bath water with a huge splash, yelling, "BUHOOO, IT'S WATER!!" Then he screams, "HOT HOT HOT!!!" and corrects himself, "NO, IT'S HOT WATER!!" As a Devil Fruit user, he panics as if drowning: "I'M DYING!! I'M DROWNING!! HELP..." The page fulfills the bath-time setup brutally: the forbidden castle has been emptied for Hancock's privacy, and Luffy has accidentally smashed straight into the most forbidden room on the island. Page 18: Luffy flails in the bath until he realizes, "AH! NO, I CAN STAND!" Panting "ZEEH ZEEH," he looks around the steam-filled room and asks, "HUH!? THIS IS A BATH HOUSE?" Boa Hancock, wet and bare-backed in the bath, turns in shock and disbelief: "...? A MAN...!?" Luffy and Hancock lock eyes. As she starts to move, he glimpses the mark on her back and says, "HM? THAT THING ON YOUR BACK... I'VE SEEN IT SOMEWHERE..." The reaction is immediate and terrifying. Hancock's face tightens with rage and alarm; the huge close-up shows sweat, wide eyes, and a clenched expression as she says, "YOU SAW IT!!" The page shatters the public Gorgon myth into a private crisis. Luffy has not merely entered the forbidden bath; he has seen the hidden mark that Hancock and her sisters go to extreme lengths to conceal.
