Chapter 521: The hoofs of the heavenly dragon cover story: Operation snatch CP9
Fight is over, and Hancock tells Luffy
Hancock: Yes, I can undo them from their stone state. But you... you said you wanted to go somewhere with a ship? You can only ask one thing from me...!! Either undo their stone, or you leave this island!! Choose one, and forget about the other!!! (Now show your true nature, man....!!!) Luffy: I see, thanks!! You're going to help these guys then? Thanks a lot!!
Luffy bows his head down, and the three sisters look are struck in surprise
Margaret and others are released from their stone status
Luffy is called up to the Kuja castle, and opens the curtain revealing Hancock.
Hancock's upper torso is naked, revealing her back
Hancock: This mark....!!! You said you saw it somewhere.... take a good look again.
Luffy: .... I knew it, it's a little diffrent from the one I saw....!! I have a fishman friend named Hachi.... And I saw a similar mark on his forehead, so I thought I knew it. I don't know your mark! Elder Nyon: If he doesn't know what it is, tell him about it!! He's the very man who caused a great strife not even the gods would dare.... He punched the Tenryuubito (Heavenly Dragon people) on Shabaody isle!!! Hancock: ...There still were such massive fools in this world...!!?
Hancock breaks down crying
Hancock: We three sisters were... once slaves of the World Nobles...!!!
It was when I was only 12... Us three were taken from the Kuja pirate ship by kidnappers, and sold away. From there.... is a past I wish not to speak about...!! The first men we ever saw were nothing but horror
Images show the three being abused, and Sonia breaks down crying
Hancock: ....However. One night after 4 years had passed away, an incident happened that terrified the World Government.
No one stands up to the World Nobles... that was the rule of the world. But one man climbed up the Redline with his BARE HANDS, and infiltrated the holy land of Marie Joie where the World Nobles live. He was.... the adventurer who eventually lead the fishman pirates, the Fisher Tiger. To liberate the slaves from the city that abused many fishmen... he fought with all his might... Even though he hated the human race, he released all the slaves regardless of what race they were. Us three ran for our lives too... we all owe him a great deal....!!! Tiger released many fishmen to the ocean, but the mark of their slaverly will never dissapear... Tiger became the enemy of the World Government, and he formed the Pirates of the Sun with the former slaves, and set out to sail...!! He changed the mark of slaverly on their bodies into the mark of the Sun, as if to erase their curse....!!!
By the way, Fisher Tiger is already dead, and the fishmen pirates have split into multiple groups.
Hancock cries, and says
Hancock: Even if we have to decieve our entire nation... we will never show any weakness!!! We don't want to be enslaved by anyone anymore...!!!
Luffy: .... Hancock: You.... do you despise me for being slave? Luffy: No, I hate the Tenryuubito!!!
Hancock laughs, and says: I like you!! Tell me where you want to go!! I will let you borrow a ship
Luffy: really!!?
End
