## One Piece Chapter 517, pages 15-17: Bath Time - Chapter: 517 - Pages: 15-17 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Marguerite, Kuja warriors, Boa Hancock, Kuja women ### Summary Page 15: In the Island of Women jungle, the Kuja warriors continue searching for Luffy. One asks, "WHERE DID HE GO?" and another reports, "HE CLIMBED UP THE MOUNTAIN!!" Marguerite worries, "HE COULDN'T HAVE GONE BACK INTO THE VILLAGE, COULD HE? HE WAS LOOKING FOR A BOAT!!" High on the wall, Luffy balances and thinks through his next move: "WHAT DO I DO NOW...? IF I JUST STAY HERE, THEY'LL FIND ME AGAIN." Remembering Marguerite's words, he says, "SHE SAID THEY HAD A PIRATE SHIP. IF I COULD BORROW IT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT..." But he immediately realizes the flaw: "... NO, NAMI'S NOT HERE. IF I SET SAIL ON MY OWN, I'D JUST BE ADRIFT." His new plan becomes social rather than nautical: "IT WOULD BE BEST IF I CAN HITCH A RIDE WITH THEM. I'LL JUST ASK THEM IF THEY'LL TAKE ME TO THE SHABONDY ARCHIPELAGO!!" Page 16: Luffy tries to reason out where to ask for help. He says, "THEN TO DO THAT, I'LL NEED TO MEET WITH SOMEONE IMPORTANT. IMPORTANT PEOPLE LIVE IN TALL BUILDINGS... SO... I FEEL LIKE I'M GETTING A FEVER FROM THINKING TOO HARD." He spots the castle and decides, "ALL RIGHT, I'LL JUST ENTER A TALL BUILDING!! HERE WE GO!!" He launches himself from the wall toward the highest structure, stretching through the air and shouting "AAHHHH~!" In the jungle below, the warriors are still rushing back. Someone yells, "HURRY BACK TO THE VILLAGE!!!" and another says, "LADY HEBIHIME HAS PROBABLY ALREADY RETURNED!!" Their fear is precise: "IT'S GOING TO BE A HUGE MESS IF THAT MAN IS DISCOVERED!!!" The page crosscuts Luffy's innocent logic with the Kuja's panic, making it clear he is headed directly toward the worst possible place at the worst possible time. 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.
