After Boa Hancock ordered the Kuja pirates and warriors to chase the unidentified young man, after not too long he, Luffy, was soon captured!
Then Luffy was supposed to be executed by fighting Sandersonia and Marigold at the Colosseum Amazon Lily, but the situation got chaotic as the 'Gorgon Eye Curse' on Sandersonia's back was almost visible.
The execution was canceled and soon Luffy was brought to the palace.
"Why was I brought here? .... Ah! Is there a banquet here!? Then I want to!"
Luffy is currently at the Kuja palace. And he thought there would be a banquet here.
"We are very grateful to you...."
Sandersonia blushingly thanks Luffy for protecting her back during the previous fight.
"That's right.... If the marks on our backs are seen by others, we won't be able to be in this country anymore...."
Marigold also thanked Luffy.
"No need! No need! Thank you can't be eaten anyway."
Unfortunately, Luffy only cares about food.
Not long after, Hancock's voice was heard.
"You may come in...."
"Hm?"
Luffy was confused.
"Get behind this curtain, man!"
"Curtains? Any food behind the curtains?"
Luffy went to the curtain and opened it. But he was disappointed.
"Ah! No food...."
Luffy then noticed Hancock sitting on the bed.
"Hm? Why are you turning your back on me? And why aren't you wearing clothes?"
Hancock frowned slightly at Luffy's outspoken attitude.
"You rude.... Well, whatever."
Hancock then pulled her hair showing her back to Luffy.
"This symbol.... You said you've seen it? Take another look.... Where have you seen it? Do you know what symbol is this?"
Hancock asked Luffy about the symbol on her back.
"Hmm...."
Luffy looked at the emblem on Hancock's back carefully and thought about it.
"Answer quickly!"
".... Looks like what I've seen is a little different! I have a fish-man friend named Hacchi. He has a similar symbol on his forehead. I think I misunderstood the symbol on your back. I don't know what that symbol is."
Luffy answered and explained.
"Then it must be told!"
Suddenly, someone else's voice was heard!
Hancock also looked and was surprised that Granny Nyon had suddenly appeared here.
"Granny Nyon!? How did you get in here!?"
Granny Nyon ignored Hancock's shout and spoke calmly.
"How big is this man's heart, you've seen it for yourself.... Tell him all about the symbol...."
Granny Nyon said while looking at the symbol on Hancock's back and then she was shocked!
"Wait a minute! Why have the symbol on your back changed!?"
""What!?""
Sandersonia and Marigold who heard Granny Nyon's surprised exclamation then opened the curtains. And they were astonished after seeing the symbol on Hancock's back!
The symbol on Hancock's back is not the 'Soaring Dragon's Claw' symbol which is the Tenryuubito slaves' mark! The symbol on Hancock's back was instead a coiled snake biting its tail around a barred circle!

"What does this mean, Hebihime!? How could it be!?"
Granny Nyon asked in an interrogating tone asking for the symbol on Hancock's back.
"Shut up! This symbol is none of your business!"
However, Hancock was adamant that she didn't want to answer!
"Hebihime!"
""Onee-sama!""
"I said shut up!"
Hancock got a little emotional then used Haoushoku Haki to suppress them!
""""....""""
The three of them also Luffy was silent and did not dare to ask about the new symbol on Hancock's back.
"Hah~.... Fine."
Granny Nyon sighed and then looked at Luffy and asked him.
"Young man, are you Monkey D. Luffy?"
"Hm? Yeah. Why you asked, Small Granny?"
Granny Nyon then talked about who Luffy really is and how he caused a big incident at Shabondy a few days ago.
Hearing Granny Nyon's statement and Luffy also admitting it, the three Boa sisters were completely dumbfounded!
Hancock then finally told how she and her sisters used to be Tenryuubito's slaves! She also tells how they got free was because a fishman named Fisher Tiger attacked the Mary-Geoise! And also how Fisher Tiger then formed the Fishman Pirates and the origin of the sun symbol on Hacchi's forehead.
Some time later....
"You.... Are you looking down on me now... after finding out that I was a former slave?"
Hancock asked Luffy.
"I already said I hate Tenryuubito."
Luffy answered Hancock's question with a slight frown.
"I see.... So that's how it is...."
Hancock remembered 'that person' statement that she doesn't need to be afraid of being looked down upon by others.
Then Hancock looked at Luffy and said to him.
".... You want to leave this island, right? We'll take you on our ship tomorrow morning."
