Thank god I had enough time to do this, I just hate keeping people waiting! Though I hardly have any reviews… Just to remind you, Xiaolin Showdown and One Piece are not mine. I only own Jack's named moves. So, without further ado, let the reading begin.

Chapter 6: Heartless Judgment

Outside a large door, footsteps were heard. Both of Hancock's sisters burst in, their weapons drawn. "Big sis!" They said, trying to squeeze through the door. "Big sis! What happened?!" Jack and Luffy looked up, confused. "Who are they? Men?!" Sandersonia said. "What are men doing in the island?!" Hancock slowly stepped out, having the men stare at her questioningly. Marigold put a coat around her. "What in the world happened?!" she asked.

"Oh, we, uhh…" Luffy and Jack say in unison. "He saw my back." Hancock whispered. Her sisters gasped in shock. After a pause, they took battle stances. "Then they'll have to die." Marigold said. "Huh?!" They said, "H-how come?! We only saw her back!" "I dunno why," Luffy continued, "but I swear I've seen it somewhere before…"

"We would rather die than let anyone see what you saw on my back!" Hancock said darkly. "That thing? How come?" "Who are you? How come?" They both asked, words mixing together. "Take everything you saw to your graves!" Hancock said, making a heart with her hands. "Love-Love Beam!" "Slow-Slow?!" Luffy gasped. "Huh?!" Jack asked, looking at him panicked.

A pink, transparent beam shot out, heading straight towards them. "A Slow-Slow Beam?!" The beam hit them both, having Luffy in a guard position. "Oh no!" he said, "I'm turning slower! Slow…er..." He stood in the same position, making Jack sweat drop. Luffy then opens his eyes and stares at his hands, flexing them. Meanwhile, the sisters stare at him, as if expectant of something.

Luffy looks up and looks around, biting his lip in wonder. "Love-Love Beam!" Hancock tries again. Luffy shouts as he does a weird pose as he is hit again. But, as expected, nothing but weird behavior happened to Luffy. This makes Jack sweat drop more, before giving the sisters a look that clearly said, 'What the hell?!'.

Luffy looks back at them, questioning. The Gorgan Sisters though, were probably in a state of shock because they just stared. After a moment, all four tilted to the side and had a visible question mark above their head. Jack face palmed, disbelieving of the scene before him.

"Why won't they petrify?!" Hancock shouted. "Does they not feel any excitement from seeing me in the bath?!" "That's not possible, Big Sis!" Marigold said, shocked. "The beauty of your naked body would charm anyone of any age or gender!" "Their fear of death must be overpowering their wicked thoughts!" Sandersonia said. "They're pathetic, but lucky men."

"I dunno what's going on, but I'm getting out of here!" Luffy said as he bolted away. "Hey!" Jack shouted, running after him. "We still gotta talk to someone important!" Luffy jumped out the window, having Jack follow closely behind. "They jumped out from this height!" Marigold gasped.

Hancock kissed a finger, making a heart shaped object. "They won't get away!" she shouted, pointing her finger like a gun towards them. "Pistol Kiss!" A heart shaped projectile shot through them both, making them cringe. "Huh?!" Luffy said. "They don't bounce off! They're not metal bullets?" They landed hard on the ground, making a cloud of smoke.

"Those men are intruders! Seize them Kuja Pirates!" Hancock shouted. "Y-yes ma'am!" Ran said. She turned to a friend. "Men?! What are men doing here?!" "Let's catch them for now!" her friend said, excited. Ran nodded, before leading a group towards the men. Luffy and Jack coughed. "That hurt!" Luffy said. Jack groaned in agreement.

Both looked up, seeing that they are surrounded. "It's in your best interests to do as we say!" Ran announced, drawing an arrow. "Ran!" a woman said, "No man would ever try to defy the Kuja Pirates! Besides, they look weak anyway!" She laughed. "They're men!" another woman said. "Live men in the village…!" said yet another.

Luffy and Jack sat up crossing their legs. "Are you the all-woman pirate group?" Luffy asked, "Do you know where your boss is?" "Why would you want to know that?" Ran asked, guarded. Jack smiled, "Your boss owns a ship, right? We wanna find her and ask for a ride on her ship and hurry out to sea!"

"What nonsense!" Ran scoffed, "Men are forbidden in Amazon Lily! Do you honestly think you'll get to leave alive?!" "Stupid men!" her friend chipped in, laughing. Ran released her arrow, only missing its targets as Luffy and Jack leap into the air. "This is no time for us to get caught!" Jack shouted, landing with Luffy. He crouched while Luffy stretched his arms to grab onto the gate behind the women.

"Gum-Gum…" "Rocket…" they said. "Seize them!" Ran shouted, leading the group towards them. "…Rocket!" "Launch!" Both zoomed over the Kuja's heads, over the fence, and soaring above the village. "What the…?" a woman said, staring at them like the other women. "After him!" Ran said, "Quickly! The Snake Princesses orders! Don't let them escape, no matter what!"

In the village…

"Men!" a woman alerted, running towards a crowd. She stops, panting. "There are male intruders!" A gasp went through the crowd. "Men?!" a woman asked. "The Kuja pirates are chasing them! Let's help out too!" "Alright, let's go!" Many women ran off, taking out their weapons. At a table, Granny Nyon sat reading the newspaper. She looked over it.

"Of all things, allowing men onto the island when the Kuja are in peril…" Nyon whispered. "This is unprecedented." She sighed, shaking her head. "I can't help but worry what the future holds for this land." Granny Nyon then goes back to reading the newspaper.

Women are seen running through the village, yelling. "Catch the men!" Margaret's Group arrived seeing this. "The Kuja pirates!" Margaret gasped. "So they did return to the village…" No shit. "There they are! Over there!" Aphelandra said, pointing to the roof. And there, of course, was Luffy and Jack sitting on it, scanning the village.

"I would've thought she'd be in a tall building…" Luffy said, "Where do we go to meet someone important?" An arrow shot between them, making them reel away. More were shot, forcing Luffy and Jack to jump. "Those pirates caught up to us already?!" Jack shouted. "Let's kill him before the Snake Princess catches them!" a woman said, drawing her arrow. The others followed suit.

The duo landed on the roof carefully before running along the peak of it. "Oh, it's them again?!" Luffy shouted, annoyed. Arrows swiftly passed them, forcing them to dodge in odd ways. One landed on the roof, blasting them off and having them fall. "They fell off!" Margaret said. The group ran after them.

Luffy and Jack landed on their feet, crouching from the impact. They look up and see they're right behind the warriors from earlier. Ran looked back. "There they are! The men!" "Crap!" Jack shouted, jumping away with Luffy, who stretched himself away. "Halt!" Ran yelled.

They landed in the street, right where Nyon is, before running off. They slid back, seeing the meat she had. Oh no. Nyon lifted her fork, as if going to eat it. Luffy and Jack ran off again, before coming right back. They chuckled. Luffy stretched his arm and reeled in the meat, just when Nyon slams her fork were her meat was just moments before. She looked up startled.

"Ok!" Jack said, "Rock, paper, scissors for who gets the meat! Ready? Go!" "Rock, paper, scissors!" they shouted, getting a tie. "Rock, paper scissors!" Tie again. "Rock, paper, scissors!" Luffy got rock while Jack got scissors. And now Jack sat in a corner, sulking his loss, while Luffy happily munched on the meat. Granny Nyon watched this, sweat dropping at their behavior.

Jack must have already gotten over it because he started to run off, followed by Luffy. "Wait, you!" Nyon shouted. She looked at her newspaper, seeing Luffy's bounty, before looking back at him and gasped. 'It can't be! Why would this rookie be worth 300 million be in Amazon Lily?!' Footsteps could be heard from an approaching group.

"There they are!" Ran yelled. "We gotta run!" Jack panicked, breaking into a run with Luffy. "Wait!" Nyon yelled, standing up. "Let me see your face again!" They kept running, not looking back. "I said wait!" Nyon yelled flipping towards them and crashing on Luffy's back. "Luffy!" Jack yelled. Luffy crashed into some boxes, landing on his back. Jack saw Luffy curl in pain, before looking at Nyon.

"Damn, old lady! What kind of steroids do you take?!" Jack shouts. Luffy sits up, rubbing his back. "Even the old ladies here are strong?" he groans. Women then start to surround them. "There's no escape now!" Ran said. Luffy and Jack look up, before freaking out seeing many arrows pointed at them.

Right then, Margaret's group arrived, seeing their predicament. "Oh no! The Kuja Pirates caught them!" a woman gasped. "I guess there's nothing we can do now!" Sweetpea said. The men stared at the pirates, unsure what to do. Granny Nyon approached, 'This man really is…' she thought, gripping the paper.

Later at a coliseum…

Luffy and Jack were sitting at the middle of the platform, tied up in…snakes? "Damn! Come off, you stupid things!" Luffy grunted. Jack mumbled through his gag, also having snakes used as manacles. "Wmf er eef ern rm ike aks?!" Translation: 'What are these rope-like snakes?!' At the seating area, Margaret and the others watched.

"We were too slow. Let's just hope they don't ask how they arrived here…" a woman said, "They're going to be killed, aren't they?" Margaret asked. "What's with this place?" Luffy mumbled, "There really isn't even one guy here." Jack shrugged, not really understanding either. Woman are heard screaming fanatically, making them look where it's directed, and see the Gorgan Sisters.

"Snake princess!" "Marigold-sama!" "Sandersonia-sama!" Many shouts were heard, directed at the group. "Let me ask you this, men." Hancock said. "How and why did you come to this island?!" "Seriously, I don't know either!" Luffy said, "I suddenly went flying through the sky and before I realized it, I was here!" "I do." Jack said, and blushed. "But I don't want to talk about it."

"Lies." Hancock said calmly. "You can't fool me with that ridiculous story. You must be after something." "Well, you could give us a ship!" Luffy said, having Jack nod in agreement. "We'd appreciate getting a lift most of all, but anyway, there's a place we need to leave for right away!"

He continued, "If you're the most important person here, then please! We want to set sail!" The surrounding women were enraged. "What nonsense is this?! The Snake Princess is right! They're obviously lying!" "They must be plotting something!" "You can't fool us!" Meanwhile, Margaret's group was silent, reminded of the previous events.

"How dare they speak so rudely and tastelessly to the Snake Princess?! They're appalling!" Luffy and Jack sit there, ignoring the shouting women. Margaret looks down guiltily. "Don't think you can leave this place alive." Hancock said, "Your death is inescapable!" Margaret gasps, horrified, as she looks to the still silent men. She nods to herself before standing up.

"Please wait Snake Princess!" Margaret shouts, earning shocked looks from the surrounding population. Margaret jumps onto the platform and walks next to Luffy. "I-I don't think he's the kind of person who can lie!" Bingo! "Margaret!" her friends shout in shock. Luffy and Jack stare at her in surprise, while Hancock had an impassive expression. Women shouted amongst themselves, making any words intangible.

"Snake Princess…" Margaret said, unsure. "Snake Princess. E-everything these men say are sincere. They hardly seem like the type to bring harm to our land!" Luffy smiles. "Oh! You! Yeah tell her for me!" "A defense warrior?" Hancock asked. "My name is Margaret!" "Men are forbidden here. Their death sentence was set in stone the moment they stepped foot on this island. Why do you protect them?"

Margaret looked at them. "I feel I owe them. The person who let them into this country…" She paused, closing her eyes, before snapping them back open. "…was I!" The crowd gasped, shocked at what they heard. "Margaret! Why?!" whispered a woman. Two more people ran up onto the platform, slamming their hands to the ground. "Snake Princess! W-we can explain!" Sweetpea said.

"Yes! We found them in the forest covered in mushrooms!" clarified Aphelandra, "We thought they were from the village and carried them here!" "Sweetpea! Aphelandra!" Margaret gasped. "We're also responsible for the crime of bringing them here!" Aphelandra continued. "That's right!" Sweetpea said. "Stop it you two! I'm the one who suggested bringing them to the village!"

"Does she know what this means?" questioned Ran. "Margaret is way too honest!" her friend commented, chortling. "Oh, you guys!" Luffy said, "You guys tried to kill us, but you're actually nice after all!" Jack nodded in agreement, not able to say his own words comfortably. Hancock got up from her position and walked down the stairs.

All was silent, having an uneasy atmosphere thick enough to cut. Margaret fell to her knees, having her head hang. "Only I'm guilty of letting them into the country!" "Margaret!" her friends called out desperately. Hancock kept going, her footsteps echoing throughout the stadium. Margaret trembled as she came closer, unsure what's to happen.

Hancock stopped right in front of her, having Luffy stare at her indifferently while Jack took a worried expression. "It's alright." Hancock said calmly. Margaret's eyes snapped open. Hancock took a finger to lift her head. "Look up, honest Margaret." She was smiling. "I like honest people. Tell me. Do you wish for forgiveness?"

"Y-yes." Margaret blushed. Hancock stood up, a smile on her face. "You may rise." Margaret stood up, looking curious. Hancock looked at her friends, who looked away blushing. Luffy and Jack smiled, one with happiness and another relief. "Is the Snake Princess going to forgive those three for their great crimes?!" asked a woman in the seating area.

"That's the Snake Princess for you!" another cooed, "She's not only beautiful, she's so compassionate to!" "Snake Princess!" One squealed. Hancock frowned. Oh shit… She put up her hands and made a heart. Margaret gasped. "Love-Love Beam!" Hancock shouted, covering them in the beam and turning them into stone.

"What the…?" Luffy said confused. Jack started ranting through his gag, fire apparent in his eyes. I will not translate because even I don't know some of those words. The crowd gasped, shocked at the outcome. "The fools…" a woman murmured, holding a hand against her head.

"Hey!" Luffy said, trying to get up, "What happened to you guys?! What happened?!" Jack finally spat out the gag. "They turned to stone!" He looked at Hancock. "How come?!" She turned walking away. "Hey." Luffy said, not turning away from the statues. "Hey, you! What did you do to them?!" He turned around. "They saved our lives, you know!" Hancock went up the stairs, still not looking back.

"Yes." She said, "They were punished because they helped you." "So it's our fault they…" Jack said, a shadow hiding his eyes. "Wait!" Luffy shouted. "Turn them back too normal!" "Just who do you think you're giving orders to?" "Turn them back now!" Jack said furiously. Hancock sat down, clearly displeased, and shouted, "Bring out Bakula!"

"Bakula?!" Ran gasped. "It's all over for those men now!" her friend chortled. "We said turn them back!" Luffy shouted, just as furious as Jack. "This is a warrior nation of Amazon Lily." Hancock said, "The strong are beautiful. Fight your hardest and perish. We will watch and see you off." An animalistic growl was heard behind them, followed by a stomp and a roar.

"The black panther's name is Bakula." Hancock stated. "A carnivorous beast that has served as executioner for this island's empresses for generations. After each execution, not even a single bone remains." The snakes that were used to tie up the men unraveled themselves and slithered away, freeing them. The panther came closer.

"Bakula seems to be quite starved." Hancock said smugly. Bakula lowered its head, saliva dripping from its mouth. "Yes, Big Sis." Marigold agreed. "I'm told it hasn't been fed for several days now." Sandersonia chuckled, "Be happy, men! Bakula will gladly eat even scrawny monkeys like you!" "Never mind that…" Jack growled, standing up with Luffy. "What about these guys?!" Luffy shouted, "Will they go back to normal?!"

The crowd went up in an uproar. "How dare they speak so rudely to the Snake Princess?!" "Get 'em Bakula!" The said panther crushed the stone beneath its paws, growling. "Bakula!" Hancock shouted. "Go!" shouted the crowd. It went to lunge at Luffy, who still had his back to it, with its claws aiming to rip him apart.

Jack stood between them and whispered to Luffy, "Cover your ears." Luffy complied. Jack took a deep breath. "Sonic…" his chest expanded as he inhaled, "…Howl!" A demonic howl emanated from him, stopping the panther in midair. Its teeth shattered from the sound waves witch were visible within a mile radius. Shocked looks came from everyone, even the Snake Princess, while they all covered their ears in pain.

Bakula landed outside the stadium with a loud crash, making it unlikely to get up again. A very pissed Jack turned and faced the Gorgan Sisters with Luffy, both sharing the same expression. The crowd gawked at Bakula, who was face up in a large crater. "He's strong!" Ran gasped, "He knocked out Bakula with just his voice! He didn't even use Haki!" "Then that was just brute strength?!" her friend asked.

"You guys are screwed up." Jack said. "That woman…" Luffy said, looking up, "She turned your comrades into stone, so how can you all sit there and laugh like that?!" The women gave them shocked looks, before one by one they stood up. "Th-those savage men are yelling at us!" "Unbelievable! What vicious creatures!" "I feel bad for those three, but the Snake Princess was right to do what she did!"

More kept shouting. "They're the ones to blame! They broke the rules of our land!" "Whatever I do…" said Hancock, "…I will be forgiven. The reason for that is, yes… Because I am beautiful!" She whipped her hair back, as if to finalize it. The women blushed, before lapsing into the S.F syndrome. "Snake Princess!" they cried, making the air pink in adoration. Hancock giggled and looked down.

"Wouldn't you agree too?" Luffy and Jack gave her a dark look. "You piss me off!" they said in unison. Hancock expressed a broken-hearted gasp before leaning back in despair. Marigold stepped forward. "Big Sis!" she shouted, "Stay strong!" "This can't be!" Hancock said, gasping, "No man exists that won't be my slave! None the less two!" She looked at Luffy and Jack with their expressions still the same.

"I cannot stand those men's existence!" The crowed then went into another rage. "How dare you say that to the Snake Princess?!" "Hurry and execute them!" "Execution!" They started to chant. "Execution! Execution!" Hancock peeked through her fingers. "Go! Marigold! Sandersonia! Take those men's heads!" Her sisters jumped down, both landing on one foot. "Yes! Leave it to us, Big Sis!" Sandersonia said.

They both transformed, gaining fangs and a scaly body, looking like a hybrid between a snake and human. Luffy looked at Jack. "These guys have powers?" "Apparently so." Jack said, looking at the sisters that circled them. "Execution! Execution! Execution! Execution!" the women chanted in unison. Meanwhile, Hancock looked on, giving a stony stare.

Well, that's it for the episode. Please, PLEASE, review! I'm seriously wondering if I should stop… The next one should take a month at most, but it should be ok. Right now I will encourage reviews.
