After setting foot onto the island, and almost getting into a fight, the residents of the SkyDancer, as well as Boa Hancock, had switched genders thanks to Ivankov. "This defies logic on so many levels", Blueno said as she gazed into the water near the shore. Of course, a feminine reflection stared back.

"Iva! I demand that you turn me back this instant", Boa shouted.

"Sorry, snake prince, but I can't do that. After using that move to change so many people at once, I'm afraid I have to rest it. It has a cooldown period you know. I only did this so you two could learn a lesson. I'll change you back when I see some progress. Ok?"

Raymond crossed her arms and huffed. "Why am I being punished for this!? I don't have anything against women. Just THAT woman...er...man? This is really confusing."

Iva smiled and twirled. "Yes, I know. However, I believe that there is something about each other you each should learn. Your friends were just a bonus, for reasons I'll explain later. In the meantime, I suggest you two work out your differences". Iva said as he skipped away.

"Two days!? Great, so looks like we're stuck here for two days. This is going to halt our progress", Gurin said as he began gathering sticks.

"This is YOUR fault. I simply came here to share information about Dressrosa, but you had to stand in my way", Boa yelled as he pointed at Raymond.

"Oh shut up already! Even tho this isn't my fault you STILL find a way to blame me. He did have a point about one thing. Why do you hate men so much!? Why do you berate us at every opportunity? And for that matter why are you always looking down on people?"

"Because I CAN! Didn't you hear me the first time? Only someone as beautiful as me would have the privilege. And while you're not ugly, you'll definitely never be as gorgeous as me. Therefore, you'll never see it from my point of view.

"Ok, whatever Boa. My head is starting to hurt again. I can only take so much of you in one setting", she said as she walked back towards the Skydancer.

Boa huffed and made his way back over to the group of women that is his crew. Despite knowing Boa for quite some time, they seemed to be mesmerized by how she looked now. "W-what are you all staring at", he asked seeming to blush. She was normally used to people admiring her thanks to her looks...but now with the recent development, it felt... odd. "Dont get used to this! Its only until I can get turned back. Then I can make Iva pay for this, and we'll be on our way."

Night began to inch its way onto the island. It still looked so bright on the island thanks to trees, but even so, there was a campfire ablaze on the beach. "How are you all adjusting", Serenity asked.

"Um...I have to go to the bathroom... anything I should... 'know'", Moira asked.

"As long as you have good aim, you should be fine", Jabra replied. Her hair was down, and she decided earlier that it would be best to cover herself by buttoning her shirt.

"My chest feels a lot lighter, and my voice got so deep. This whole experience is very different", Gurin said. He seemed to be examining himself. "Is it fitting that Kumadori-San is already wearing makeup", he asked.

"Yoi yoi! No matter, what happens to my body, I must always come prepared. Would anyone like some", she shouted as she held up what looked like some Kabuki makeup.

"I'm sorry everyone. This wouldn't have happened if I just ignored Boa like I said I would", Raymond said. She seemed to be fiddling with some kind of clear circular object.

"Meh, we're not hurt I think, so it's not much of a problem", Borya said. The long hair remained, but her body shrunk a bit. Not to mention the beard vanished.

"Boa was kind of being rude. She must have been through something horrible to make her act this. I mean, not that it gives her the right to be, but still", Moria said.

Raymond thought about that, and actually began to feel just a bit bad. Perhaps something traumatized Boa at some point. Even so, he was not someone's punching bag. "Well, that's too bad, but..."

"Indeed", Boa said as he walked over to the campfire. He must have overheard some of the conversation. His two sisters Boa Sandersonia, and Boa Marigold were with her.

"What do YOU want", Raymond asked.

"Be silent", I only came to talk...I suppose.

"Oh, so there's a shred of humanity in you After all? Who'd have thought?"

"Hey! She...um...he's actually trying to talk to you this time", Marigold said.

"Fine, fine, what is it?"

"You wonder why I hate men so much, right? I talked to my sisters and my tribe...and they reminded me that at SOME point, you were actually a member of the tribe Albeit for such a short time. I guess somewhere along the way, I could grant you an explanation...but I won't tell everyone here. Only you", he said as he stood up and made his way towards the forest area.

"Very well", I'll be right back everyone", Raymond said, as she followed him into the forest.

"Please sit", Sandersonia said as she urged them all to gather around the campfire. "We'll tell you...some things, and in exchange you'll tell us some things. Sound fair", she asked.

"Very well. I have a good idea of what it's going to be about", Serenity replied. His hair was much shorter, but it still had the flowers in it.

"Why did you drag me all the way out here", Raymond asked.

"To show you this", Boa replied as he pulled off his shirt.

"Woah, woah! I know you...but I don't know you like 'that'. Raymond said as she covered her eyes seemingly embarrassed.

"What do you take me for, you fool! I was only going to show you my back! Look!" He turned around, and revealed that tattoo. The Hoof of the Soaring Dragon.

"Huh? Wait a minute...I've seen that scar before. Isn't that the scar that they gave..."

"Thats right! It's a brand given to those that were enslaved. And you know who gave my sisters and I this scar?" Raymond shook her head. "It was a MAN! It was the very first time any of us had seen a man."

"I see. That explains a lot then. The trauma that you felt as a child carried over. They, made you feel powerless...and then you got your own power, and decided to make them pay...by taking it out on others", Raymond said. She was trying to be understanding, but she was also trying to be realistic.

"So you all were enslaved then? That explains a lot", Gurin said.

"This is something many of us haven't told anyone...the fact that we're even telling you is beyond me...but our sis...er, brother said its ok...but no we want to know why your friend is so bent out of shape", Sandersonia asked.

"You mean besides the obvious awkward encounter? Well, I don't know EVERY detail, but...", Fukurou said as she warmed her hands by the fire.

"You know most of what happened already, Boa. My mother... everything was alright at the beginning...but it just so happens that when I turned old enough, people on the island began to find out that I wasn't supposed to be there. In fact even I didn't know I wasn't supposed to be there...but then YOU found out...and YOU made her get rid of me..."

"It was against the rules to...", he began to say.

"SO WHAT!? She was all I HAD at the time. You scared my father off, and you made her abandon me! She sent me adrift in the ocean! If it wasn't for a marine ship spotting me, I could have been DEAD. Do you know what kind of thoughts ran through my mind when they told me what you and your tribe were all about!?"

Boa turned his head. Are...you still blaming me", he asked. It was hard to tell how he was feeling at this point.

"How would YOU like it if someone took your sister away from you? I understand that you were hurt because of what a man did, but all YOU did was turn around and hurt someone else in the process", Raymond was fuming at this point. Even her breathing became heavier. "No matter how awful you are to someone, they just forgive you as soon as you act all cute. That's why I cant stand the sight of you! That's why I cant stand listening to you talk! THAT'S why I detest EVERYTHING you stand for!"

Boa continued to look away at first...but then he returned his gaze towards Raymond. "Do you feel better", he asked.

All that anger he must have suppressed for all those years...though perhaps she was being just a BIT hypocritical for a reason that JUST occurred to her. She sighed and sat down on a stump. "I'm sorry. I should be blaming my mother, more than I blame you. She is the one who gave me up. Didn't even bother to come with me to a different island. I'm sorry I yelled, and I'm sorry about what happened to you. Trauma really makes a person do crazy things I suppose."

Boa sighed and sat down on a wayward log. "She loved you, you know." Raymond raised her head at this. "I had never seen someone admire a child so lovingly. It tore her apart when she informed me that she would be letting you go", Boa said. Her voice continued to be emotionless, making it hard to tell is she was feeling bad, or just talking. All she knew is that it wasn't condescending like it usually was. She knew you'd be better off somewhere else anyway. Due to our customs, you would have only suffered as long as she was with you. I suppose I at least owe you that much information."

Raymond smiled. "See what happens when you're...more or less nice? "Though I suppose it doesn't really matter. People like you no matter what you do. In SOME ways I'll admit you at least deserve happiness in some form or another. And if this makes you happy...then whatever. If they're not complaining then that's on them", Raymond said as she stood up. No hard feelings", she asked.

"Hmph! Don't get me wrong, I still detest most men! That won't change. But I suppose you aren't so bad. Maybe! You tell anyone I said that, or mention ANYTHING about that scar and I'll kill you", he said.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, snake prince. I wish I could do something about that scar at the least, but..."

"It's of no concern. I'm heading back, now.", he said as he went back towards the group.

"So, it's more of an abandonment thing", Marigold asked. "That's quite a step down from what Boa went through, but..."

"Doesn't matter! Pain is pain. That feeling of abandonment can really hurt too...I would know", Jabra said. She recalled her own feeling of it, when he had arrived to Zero Island. "Depending on the person, it can also traumatize. Do you think they're ok in there? They haven't killed each other, have they?"

"Nah, just a little heart to heart", Raymond said. She seemed to be in one piece. As was Boa."

"Boa, you have returned! Shall we start preparing food", Marigold asked.

"Yes! See to it that the sea king is prepared!"

"Will you be joining us", Sandersonia asked over to the adjacent group.

"No! They can find their own food! We don't have to share our sustenance", Boa said as he marched over to his ship.

"Well, the Queen...eh..king has spoken. Sorry", Marigold giggled and she and Sandersonia ran off towards Boa.

"Ugh, I knew there wouldn't be too much of a change. Baby steps I suppose", Raymond said.

"What was the talk about", Gurin asked. "Did you get her to apologize?"

"Well, it wasn't exactly an apology, but considering who it was, it was almost as good as one, I guess.

"Thats great an all, but I'm getting a craving for boar now. Did you see any in the forest", Jabra asked.

"Hm, there might be some wildlife there. Plenty of vegetation too but.."

"Good! As long as its not fish", Jabra said as she transformed. For the most part, she still looked the same in her wolf human hybrid form.

"Oh, hunting! What a marvelous group activity", Kumadori said.

"I could live without it", Moira replied. It would seem he didn't take to the idea. His face seemed to be flushed.

With the first night already coming to a close, the group could only wait until the morning, in hopes that they would be returned to normal. Unbeknownst to them there was yet another enemy watching them.
