## One Piece Chapter 523, pages 12-13: Hell - Chapter: 523 - Pages: 12-13 - Characters: Boa Hancock, Vice Admiral Momonga, Marine crew, Boa Sandersonia, Boa Marigold, Kuja Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 12: Momonga admits the wait was worth it and says he has fulfilled his duty, but first he asks Hancock to do something about the crew she petrified: "Or are they dead?" The Kuja farewell continues from their ship. Hancock's sisters call, "Farewell, sister!! Be safe!!" and "You have to come back to us alive, sister!!" The Kuja Pirates pray for Lady Hebihime's good fortune, and a quieter voice also wishes Luffy safety. Hancock answers solemnly, "I will return... In the meantime, watch over the country." Her sisters respond, "YES!!!" The page ties together Hancock's public duty to Amazon Lily, her secret cooperation with Luffy, and the tense need to undo the damage she caused to the Marine crew. Page 13: The page completes the interrupted ending of "Lady Hancock" by showing Hancock restoring the petrified Marines. She sends out hearts with a breathy "FUU" and commands, "Awaken..." The sailors revive and instantly lose themselves in adoration again, covered in hearts and too dazed to be useful. Momonga snaps, "Ready the ship, you fools...!!" and the Marines stammer, "Y... yes, right away!" Narration explains that somehow Luffy has gained the cooperation of the Shichibukai Boa Hancock, successfully boarded the Marine warship, and that the ship is now headed for the world's greatest prison, the great sea floor prison Impel Down. Luffy remains hidden while the official voyage begins.
