Water splashed behind Boa Hancock, and there in her bath stood a man. He dwarfed her in size and could have crushed her with his girth. His torso was shaped like a balloon, and his legs were submerged in bathwater. Steam rose and covered his head that was too small for his body, and the vapor obscured his face. With a little, skinny hand, he wiped his eyes, and he gazed at her back.
"You saw it." Hancock formed a heart with her hands. "LOVE-LOVE MELLOW!"
A beam of hearts raced for the man. His eyes widened. He moved to dodge and would have been in position to attack if he wanted, but he was hindered by his size. Hearts washed over him, and his hair, clothes, and body turned to stone.
Hancock exhaled. How did someone this large make it past the guards? Only one person had managed to invade her bath, and it was Luffy. She closed her eyes. It had been 22 months, 1 week, and 3 days since she dropped him off on Rusukaina Island. If only she could sail there and visit him, yet she had promised not to interfere with his training. She would endure until he had finished, and upon his return, she would ask to be his wife.
She seized her chest. He did not share her feelings, but her heart refused to give up. Nothing would make her happier than to become his bride.
Sighing, she returned to the matter at hand. The intruder's statue stood in the water as if part of the bath's décor. After he had seen her slave brand, his punishment would be—she blinked.
Luffy?
Splashing through the water, she rushed to the statue. A stitched scar adorned his cheek and unruly hair graced his head. This was Luffy, the man she loved, but why was he so large, and how did he get here from Rusukaina Island? Her powers only affected those attracted to her, so why did they turn him to stone?
She clapped her cheeks. "Is this that thing I heard so much about? Is this… a confession?"
"IT IS NYOT!" said Elder Nyon, whose boots clacked the floor as she entered the bath with Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold.
More footsteps sounded, but Hancock placed her hand on Luffy's stomach. Like a carved sculpture, his skin was hard yet smooth. Her powers had worked on him, which meant…
He saw her as beautiful.
Her strength left her, and she fainted.
