## One Piece Chapter 523, pages 11-12: Hell - Chapter: 523 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Boa Hancock, Vice Admiral Momonga, Salome, Monkey D. Luffy, Marine crew, Boa Sandersonia, Boa Marigold, Kuja Pirates ### Summary Page 11: At sea, the Kuja ship reaches Vice Admiral Momonga's Marine warship. Momonga states the conditions he already explained over the Den Den Mushi: only Hancock and her pet snake will be allowed aboard. He confirms that he managed to get permission from his superiors for Hancock to visit the Great Prison Impel Down, adding that normally even the Shichibukai stay away from that place. Because this is a special case, she will not be able to stay for very long. Momonga orders, "Now, come aboard!!" Hancock stands poised with Salome while Luffy hides inside or alongside Salome's coiled carrying space, using Hancock's snake as cover so the Marines do not notice that the prisoner-bound ship is secretly transporting Ace's brother. 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.
