Well, sorry for the slight delay in updating. I've been extremely busy lately, so I couldn't find any time to use my personal computer.

"One Piece" Events:

—————————

After successfully escaping the pursuit of the Kuja Warriors, Luffy pressed his forehead in deep thought. "To accomplish that, I'll need to meet someone important."

"Important people live in tall buildings... So... I feel like I'm getting a fever from thinking too hard."

In the end, he decided on his course of action and leaped from the towering cliff.

"All right, I'll just enter a tall building!! Here we go!!" "AAHHHH~!"

Once he reached the rooftop of the building, he tried to steady himself, but the impact was strong enough to shatter the roof.

"DOWAAA!! It broke!!"

This caused a commotion that was noticed by the warriors outside, who were preventing anyone from entering the castle.

"What!!? The roof of the castle tower collapsed!!"

"Isn't that where Lady Hebihime is taking her bath?"

...

As for Luffy, he fell directly into a pool of water, so he thought he might drown.

"Buhooo, it's water!! Hot hot hot!! No, it's hot water!!"

"I'm dying!! I'm drowning!! Help..."

"Ah! No, I can stand!"

In the end, Luffy realized he wasn't drowning but could stand.

"Zeeh, Zeeh... Huh? This is a bathhouse?"

"...!? A man...!?"

Hancock couldn't understand why a strange man had appeared in her private housebath.

Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly turned to hide her back.

"Hm? That thing on your back... I've seen it somewhere..."

Unfortunately for her, Luffy had already noticed.

"You saw it!!"

Hancock's eyes darkened as she realized that the worst thing she feared had happened.

•———•———•———•———•———•

Marigoa, Pangaea Castle:

"Heh~ He has already seen her back, so why hasn't he turned to stone yet... Fufu~ Let me guess?"

Imu crossed her legs and chuckled dryly as she turned the page...

"The so-called Gorgon curse was just a lie to cover up a shocking truth, wasn't it?" A strange smile appeared on Imu's face, who was, at the very least, no less beautiful than Hancock.

"It's clear they're just Devil Fruit users—two Zoans and one Paramecia," Elder Saturn said mockingly.

"It's easy to deceive the ignorant... those women there are clueless... I wonder if they're still like that after being ruled by 'that' man," Elder Mars added somewhat curiously.

"What an indecent scene... she's practically naked... seeing a Love-Love Devil Fruit user in this state is enough to drive any man insane... What's the deal with Luffy? Why does it seem like he's only seeing Zoro taking a bath...?"

"Pft! Zoro taking a bath? What's with this strange analogy?" Elder Warcury almost coughed up his lungs at the 'analogy' mentioned by Elder Ju Peter.

"Cough! Enough of this unfunny nonsense, remember we're in the presence of Lord Imu-sama." At this moment, Elder Venus, as he liked to call himself, coughed to clear the strange atmosphere before continuing, "Right, it's strange to see Luffy not affected by such a scene... but we've known Luffy's personality from the beginning, as you all know. What's strange is for Luffy to be affected by something other than food."

"Hahahahaha!" After hearing that, Imu burst into laughter, causing the five elders to tense up.

"Hahaha! That's a very accurate description, Venus..." Imu gestured towards the bald-headed swordsman with a smirk as she said that.

"Well, barging into the 'strong' Empress's housebath in this manner and stealing a glimpse of some of her 'most sensitive secrets' will have dire consequences for Luffy," Imu said with an amused look on her face.

"I wonder how the plot will evolve after this," she added.

...

Ohara:

"Pa!" Brook slapped his forehead and discreetly wiped his nose to prevent anyone from noticing the nosebleed he had just gotten... 

At this moment, everyone swallowed their saliva, but before they could form any lewd thoughts, all of them strangely vanished from their minds, whether it was Brook, Vinsmoke Judge 'present in the North Blue,' or anyone else who was reading the same scene in the manga at this moment. All of those who had lewd thoughts without exception "returned to focusing on the essence of art" rather than fixating on 'Hancock's naked body'...

"Oh my goodness! Yohohoho! Luffy fell into the Empress's bath!"

"He has already seen her back! Wait... why hasn't he turned to stone?"

Both Brook and Clover, among others, were taken aback by this turn of events.

No one expected that the meeting between Luffy and Hancock would unfold in this manner.

"Judging by Boa Hancock's personality, she won't allow Luffy to leave... there's no doubt she wants to tear him apart now, fufu~" Doffy laughed, finding this scene particularly enjoyable.

"Why are you laughing?" Rosinante wondered.

Doffy looked towards Mihawk, who was sitting not far away, before saying, "Since their appearance, the Shichibukai have been presented as enemies of Luffy and his crew..."

Rosinante understood what his brother was getting at even before he finished.

"But I don't know why I have this feeling that Hancock won't be an enemy to Luffy... but rather, a powerful ally," Rosinante whispered.

"She's the daughter of our Master... whether she's with or against Luffy, I'll support her!" exclaimed Enel.

For Enel, Hancock was the daughter of a 'God'! She couldn't be wrong about what she would do.

... 

"HM?" Mihawk noticed Doffy's glance that had landed on him seconds ago before returning to focus on the events in the manga.

"Children grow up quickly," Mihawk said, and no one knew if he meant Doffy or Hancock in the manga.

"You were a child not too long ago as well... Hohoho~" laughed Issho, Mihawk's best friend.

"I just wonder when the war will begin... since the Shichibukai will be involved, I want to see my future opponents and assess them well before entering the 'Games Dungeon'," Mihawk said mysteriously.

"Don't mention the 'Games Dungeon' out loud; the Captain hasn't announced it yet," Issho silently signaled to Mihawk.
