Arrows struck the cage with an explosive sound. Seeing this, Luffy exerted force, directly breaking through the roof, and with a flash of his body, he escaped.
Surrounded by a group of warriors, Luffy ran while thinking about what to do next: Should he go back to Sabaody Archipelago? But he didn't know the way... Without Nami, he could only drift. Although Orochimaru said he needed to train for two years... he had no idea how to start... And this was the Amazon Lily, a country of women... Men were forbidden... Ah... he couldn't think, his brain was burning.
Forget it... he'd get a boat first.
He was also worried if others would listen to Orochimaru and train for two years.
(Everyone except Sanji said, 'You're the only one who doesn't listen, okay?')
As Luffy ran and daydreamed, his foot suddenly slipped, and he fell with a'splat,' plummeting straight down with a 'thud' into a bathroom.
"Ah! Ah! Shimada! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!" Luffy thrashed wildly in the water, splashing large amounts. However, after a moment, he realized the water only reached his calves.
（￣ェ￣;） Luffy stood up from the water as if nothing had happened, pretending it was all normal.
Putting on his hat and turning around, Luffy saw a woman's back, and the pattern on her back caught his eye.
He stared at the pattern, his brows slightly furrowed, and thought seriously, "This pattern... I think I've seen it somewhere before."
Hancock, who was bathing, heard the commotion, turned sharply, and seeing Luffy, her face was filled with terror.
She immediately called out to her two sisters.
"Mari! Sonya!"
As the two rushed over, Hancock quickly put on a piece of clothing.
"Kill him! He saw my back!"
Hancock's voice trembled with a hint of fear.
The sisters, Mari and Sonya, heard their sister's words, their pupils suddenly constricted, and their faces were filled with horror.
Sonya subconsciously tightened her grip on her weapon, her eyes turning cold, "Then we'll have to ask you to die."
Upon hearing this, Luffy was even more shocked, his eyes wide with confusion, "W-why? It was just seeing a back."
Hancock, however, clutched her clothes tightly, as if to completely hide herself, and said through gritted teeth,
"What you saw on our backs... is something we would rather die than let anyone see."
Luffy, who had seen the secret of the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, did not resist and was captured by the two sisters and sent to the Colosseum.
Margaret struggled for a long time, remembering how Luffy had grabbed her to escape before but hadn't harmed her. She still stood in the Colosseum, pleading for Luffy.
She also stated that she had accidentally let him in.
Stooby and Affilandora also instantly knelt in the Colosseum, wanting to share Margaret's guilt.
Luffy gave a slightly arrogant smile.
"What's with you guys... You wanted to kill me just now, but you're actually very kind... Hehehe."
Hancock walked down expressionlessly, gently stroking Margaret's face, but in the next moment, she turned her to stone.
Luffy stared intently at the three petrified people, his brows furrowed, his expression gradually turning grim. His eyes burned with anger as he loudly questioned:
"Hey! What did you do to them! They saved my life!"
Hancock, however, acted as if nothing had happened, slowly walking back to her supreme throne, and responded with an arrogant expression, "That's right, they were punished for saving you."
Luffy was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and shouted urgently, "Because of my mistake... Wait! Quickly turn them back!"
"Hey! Did you hear me!"
"I told you to turn them back to normal!"
Luffy kept sharply scolding Hancock, the anger in his eyes almost erupting.
"Do you know who you are commanding?" Hancock said coldly, her voice like an icy wind, devoid of emotion. She sat calmly on her throne, surrounded by pythons, looking down at Luffy.
"This is the land of warriors, Amazon Lily. Only the strong are beautiful. Fight to the death! I will witness it with my own eyes." Hancock's voice echoed in the air, carrying undeniable authority.
"Bring out Bachula." At Hancock's command, a black panther instantly appeared in the arena.
"This black panther is named Bachula. It is raised by each generation of the country's kings, specifically as a carnivorous beast for executioners. Those executed by it are gnawed until not a single bone remains."
The snake originally wrapped around Luffy, upon seeing the black panther, was so scared that it instantly fled.
Seeing this, the surrounding people mocked Luffy. They added fuel to the fire, cheering and exulting, completely disregarding the three petrified people.
Luffy trembled with rage. He clenched his fists, a cold glint in his eyes, and threw a punch. The seemingly fierce black panther was knocked to the ground with a single blow.
Luffy's expression was terrifyingly grim. His eyes wide with anger, he roared at the cold and heartless people in the stands, "You're too strange... Your companions were turned to stone by that woman, how can you still laugh so happily!"
The group of people in the stands, hearing Luffy's roar, showed no guilt at all. Instead, they retorted, "Empress Hime is not wrong! It's all their fault!"
At this moment, Hancock suddenly spoke, "Whatever I do will be forgiven. If you ask why, it is because I am simply too beautiful."
As soon as her words fell, everyone seemed to be enchanted, looking at Hancock with fanaticism and emitting excited screams, their voices almost drowning out the entire Colosseum.
Hancock greatly enjoyed being adored by everyone, then looked at Luffy and smiled.
"You think so too, right?"
Luffy's face was grim, and his tone was impolite... "You're really irritating, you person."
"And speaking of beauty, although I don't know what counts as beautiful, I do know that you are not as good-looking as my younger brother."
"Even the snake under your butt isn't as good-looking as my brother's snake... It's so ugly... What a hideous aesthetic."
(Poisonous Snake Luffy is online for a limited time)
Hancock instantly froze, struck with a pale shock, covering her chest as if severely wounded and about to faint.
Sonya rushed forward to comfort her, "Sister... pull yourself together."
Hancock covered her face with one hand, closing her eyes in distress.
"How can such a thing happen? He actually compared me to a stinky man, and how can there be a man who doesn't fall at my feet... Impossible..."
Then she opened one eye and looked at Luffy coldly, "I cannot tolerate the existence of that man... Attack! Marigold, Thunder Sonya."
"Take that man's head."
The surrounding warriors all shouted in unison,
"Death penalty! Death penalty!"
Mari and Sonya suddenly transformed into two giant snake-women, looking down at Luffy with immense pressure, flicking their forked tongues.
Luffy cracked his knuckles, looking at the two with a sinister smile.
"I... am best at fighting snakes... I've been holding back for a long time..."
The two looked at Luffy with an ominous premonition, feeling as if they had a huge burden on their backs.
