Evening....

Luffy is partying and eating at the Kuja banquet.

However, the curiosity of the Kuja residents that makes them touching and pinching him disturbed his meal.

Luffy finally escaped with the help of Marguerite.

They then headed to Granny Nyon's house.

Luffy then chatted with Granny Nyon and he was very surprised to find out that Hancock was actually one of the Sichibukai!

Then, Luffy was also very shocked and dumbfounded to hear that the Whitebeard Pirates were going to war against the Marines and the Sichibukai because his older brother, Portgas D. Ace, would be executed!

Luffy was quite panicked.

And after thinking and considering, he finally decided to postpone looking for his pirate crew members and prioritized to save Ace as soon as possible.

Granny Nyon then said that if he wants to save Ace before him being executed, Luffy had to come to the Great Prison Impel Down!

And Granny Nyon also said that the only quickest way to get to Impel Down before Ace was transferred to Marineford for execution was to board a Marine battleship that had special access through the Tarai Current. And Hancock can help Luffy with this while at the same time fulfilling her Sichibukai summons!

Then, Luffy and Granny Nyon immediately went to the palace.

Arriving in front of the palace, Luffy and Granny Nyon met Enishida who had just come out to open the door.

"Grandma Nyon!"

Enishida was quite surprised to see Granny Nyon here.

"What's the matter, Enishida?"

Granny Nyon asked a bit confused why Enishida seemed in such a hurry.

"Thank goodness you're here! I was just about to find you!"

"Hm? What's the matter?"

"That's.... Hebihime-sama suddenly became seriously ill! Right now Hebihime-sama is lying limp!"

Enishida nervously informs that Hancock has fallen ill!

""What!? Why now!?""

Granny Nyon and Luffy are both shocked!

They rushed into the palace!

Arriving at Hancock's room, Granny Nyon and Luffy saw Hancock lying weakly on the bed.

"Haahh.... Haahh.... It hurts...!"

Hancock looked breathless and in pain.

"Onee-sama, hang on!"

Sandersonia tried to calm her sister down.

"Onee-sama...."

Marigold also looked worried.

Seeing Granny Nyon coming, Belladonna, who is Kuja's doctor and who is also here, explained the symptoms Hancock experienced.

"Hebihime-sama seems to be in pain holding her chest, so I suspect there is a problem with her heart or lungs. But after I examined her, it seems her organs are still healthy and fine. I've never seen conditions like this, so... I'm confused too."

Enishida then added.

"Hebihime-sama seems to be in a lot of pain and doesn't want to eat since earlier..."

Hearing their statement, Granny Nyon thought.

"Hmm...."

Not long after, Granny Nyon then called Hancock.

"Hebihime...."

"Uuuhhh....!!!!"

Hancock looks in pain!

Seeing Hancock's reaction, Granny Nyon then closed her eyes and shook her head.

"Aahh.... I see.... How did this happen.... Such a troublesome virus...."

Hearing Granny Nyon's statement, the others were quite surprised!

"Eh!? Virus!? You know what the disease is!?"

Marigold asked.

"Granny Nyon.... It so hurts.... Am I... going to die...?"

Hancock said while panting limply.

".... Yes. You will die...."

Granny Nyon answered grimly.

"What!? What do you mean!? Don't joke, Granny Nyon!"

Marigold was surprised and did not accept Granny Nyon's statement.

"Two of her predecessor queens died of this disease.... I also had this disease before until I finally decided to leave this country.... And I survived."

Nyon's grandmother said that Hancock was not the first to suffer from this disease.

"I see... So.... I... will die...."

Hancock smiled bitterly.

Then Hancock weakly took something out of her pocket. A piece of paper with some numbers on it.

"Call... him...."

After that, Hancock was fall unconscious!

""Onee-sama!""

"Hebihime!"

"Hebihime-sama!""

They were very surprised that Hancock suddenly fainted after taking out a piece of paper!

Sandersonia then took a piece of paper with some of the numbers on it and looked at it.

".... What is this? What number is this?"

Sandersonia was confused and did not understand.

"Number? Den Den Mushi number?"

Marigold also looked and guessed this was Den Den Mushi's number.

Hearing this, Granny Nyon guessed that Hancock had asked them to call someone who had the number. Granny Nyon then decided.

"Okay.... We don't know whose number it is, but just call it! It's urgent!"
