By popular demand here is chapter 2 of Boa Hancock askes for help.
You couldn't have asked for a better day to sail. Perfect weather, temperature, and waves to get any ship to wherever it was heading with no issues. The Perfume Yuda, ship of the Kuja Pirates was sailing full speed ahead, their shipped pulled by two giant Yuda snakes. Though that didn't stop Boa Hancock from growing impatient.
"How much longer until we arrive at our destination?" Hancock demanded to know.
The navigator of the Kuja pirates checked her map and then the condition of the two giant snakes pulling their ship. "At the rate we're going it'll be at most three hours before we arrive Empress."
"One hour."
"Huh?"
"Get us there in one hour at most."
"Eh!? But the Yuda snakes won't handle the pace."
"Get us there in one hour. Please?" Hancock gave the amazon a soft smile, slightly tilting her head for extra innocence. Just one look like that was enough to turn the Kuja pirate's navigator into a bright faced bumbling mess.
"Y-Yes! P-Pirate Empress!" The love-struck navigator obeyed, having their snakes pick up the pace.
Boa Hancock was on a mission to make Luffy hers. Before she would've waited but now, she'd be taking matters into her own hands. Hancock went on her way, but not before kicking away a cute puppy that had miraculously been left in her path. Despite that no one loved her any less. Why? Because she was beautiful.
Nami huffed watching the scene pay out. It was insane what the pirate empress could get away with. Planned assault. Abusing animals. Abusing her crew. Heck! That woman could've taken every beri from a bank and they would've thanked Hancock for her patronage. Was there no atrocity she could commit that wouldn't be forgiven? It made Nami sick. And jealous. If only she could get away with that… Did that golden beauty pass come from her natural beauty, or her devil fruit powers? She wasn't sure which one it was.
"Hey Robin…" Nami rested her arms and head on the edge of their captor's ship. "Assuming everything goes to hell…" Which it probably would given their history. "What do you thinks going to happen to us?"
Nico Robin put down the surprisingly well written novel lended to her for the ride. "Assuming things go south, we'll most likely we'll be strung over a roasting fire. Slowly burned alive as a meal for the Amazon's feast. Then our bones will be made into fashion accessories." Personally, Robin hoped she'd get made into a cute bracelet.
The way she said that with a straight face made her navigator take a step away.
Nami looked out to the open waters, letting her hands spread out along the rails. Either the Kuja pirates weren't worried about them putting up a fight or they'd never taken anyone hostage before in their lives. It would've made things pretty easy to escape if there was anywhere to escape to. But when your friends were unable to swim, it makes sea-based run-aways tricky. And speaking of friends…
Across the ship, Yamato and one of the larger amazons had their arms locked in a contest of strength in arm wrestling. A whole crowd of amazons surrounded them hollering and cheering. It looked to be neck and neck until Yamato slowly started gaining the upper hand. Little by little the amazon's hand was pushed down until it collided against the table.
"All right, ten in a row!" Yamato raised her arms as the amazons applauded her victory. The Oni Princess was looking right at home with these amazons. They were strong, cared for each other, went above and beyond for their leader, and knew how to have a good time. Yamato hadn't forgotten the whole 'help beat up her captain' thing. But hey, no one was perfect. "Who's next? Hey Nami! Wanna go a round?" Yamato spoke with a kind smile, but with the kind of fire in her eyes shared by Luffy and Zoro when they were facing a tough challenge.
For her life's safety Nami declined without hesitation. That girl had enough strength to rival their crew's monster trio. Or was it a quartet now that she was on their crew? Technically a quintet if you counted Jinbei…
Nami shook her head, getting off track. Stupid Oni. This was all her fault.
"Do you have a plan Ms. Navigator?" Robin asked.
The gears in Nami's head had been turning all day trying to figure out a way to get out of this mess. After all the turning and grinding, her brain had broken down and ended up out of service.
"It's no good. All we can do is stay on Hancock's good side for now. What about you Robin, did you find out whatever it is Hancock is planning?"
As the wielder of the Hana Hana no Mi, Robin could replicate parts of her body on the surface of any object or living thing. An eye here or an ear there was perfect for espionage.
"Sorry. I haven't heard anything. Whatever Hancock's planning, she's keeping it close to her chest. Though I was able to learn of two things regarding the pirate empress's plan for our captain. First, she sent out her a note regarding our capture to our crew via messenger snake not too long ago. It'll definitely lead the crew to wherever we're going."
"And the second thing?"
"She's been putting a lot of thought into what to do with Luffy once she claims him. Want to know what she intends to do?"
"No."
She wants to sail the seas with him, cook for him, kiss him, bath with him, sleep with him… Ride him." Robin said.
"R-Riding him!?" Nami's face gained some color.
Robin wasn't sure what that was about. She was currently having a thought bubble about Hancock riding on Luffy's back like he was some kind of horse. Horse costume and cowgirl hat included. Nami waved her hands around Robin, dispelling the thought bubble, sighing before leaning back against the ships railing.
The clicking of Boa Hancock's heels drew their attention. The former warlord took one final step before stopping in place, putting her hands on her hips. "You two. I don't have much time to waste so I'll make this quick. Tell me more about Luffy!"
"You want to know more about what he likes?" Nami's eyes turned to gold.
"No." That was a lie, but she had to stay focused on the task at hand. "I need to know how powerful Luffy's gotten. It's been so long since I last saw him and I can only imagine he's gotten much stronger after so long. What new abilities has he learned? What are his most common battle strategies? Has he awakened his devil fruit abilities? You will tell me everything at once!"
It was impossible to think Luffy would just do nothing after all his training. He'd always be searching for more strength to make his dream of becoming king of the pirates a reality. Which is why Hancock had to know everything if she wanted to bring down Luffy. Her Luffy. The most handsome man in all the seas. The man she'll walk down the aisle for. The man of her dreams!
Her cheeks went rosy just thinking about him.
"Glady Ms. Pirate Empress." A new dark smile formed on Robin's face. "I'll tell you all about the new abilities our captain's learned. First. What you need to know is that Luffy has learned the art of ninjitsu"
Nami's palm smashed into her face.
"N-Ninjitsu!?" Hancock's eyes widened. "The famous art practiced by ninjas!?"
"That's right. When he learned about ninjas from the land of Wano, Luffy pushed himself hard to learn their techniques. Now he can perform all sorts of ninja techniques. Turning invisible, creating clones made from shadows, summoning giant frogs, throwing shurikens…" On and on Robin went about the impressive techniques their captain totally knew. Each one had Boa Hancock convinced Luffy had grown into a powerful ninja pirate hybrid. Believe it!
Through every bonkers technique Robin listed, Nami could do nothing more than smile and nod. At least there was a bright side to all this. It couldn't get any more insane from here.

Nami hated being wrong.
"Horohorohorohorohoro!"
That laughter came not from a ghostly hollow girl but rather a pirate empress doing her best to sound threatening.
"To ghostly." Robin commented. "You sound more like a bratty ghost princess than a pirate empress. Luffy won't be intimidated at all."
If anyone believed even a fraction of the lies about Luffy that came out from Robin's mouth, you'd think the rubber man was superhuman. And if you believed 100% of that trash, you'd be like Hancock and think he was a god. Though Hancock couldn't deny it made her feel all tingly to hear how magnificent her Luffy had gotten.
Luckilly, Robin had let her captor know of a weakness Luffy secretly had that was only known among the straw hat crew. The best way to stand up Monkey D. Luffy was to hit him with your best intimidating laugh. It'd show him you weren't afraid of him, and help make you more memorable to the rubber man.
And thus, here they were listening to the all-mighty Pirate Empress practice her laughter.
"Gyahahahahahaha!"
"Now you sound like a clown that's gotten way too lucky."
"Kuhahahahahahaha!"
"Too dry."
"Fefefefefefefefefefe!"
"Too annoying."
"Sususususususususu!"
Robin looked disgusted. "Too ugly. What do you think Nami?"
Any sound Nami made was muffled due to her head being buried in her hands. She could already feel the graves being dug for her and her friends when the braincells of Hancock returned from their lovesick vacation. If by some miracle they got out of this mess alive, Nami would personally make sure Robin never hung out with Usopp ever again.
"She thinks it won't work." Robin spoke for her.
Hancock looked to be in deep thought, trying to come up with the most dangerous laugh she could imagine.
"Shurorororororororo!"
"Too ghastly and unforgivable."
"Wororororororororo!"
Yamato turned towards Hancock, having just finished taking down five amazons at once in arm wrestling. "That laugh is stupid!"
"Gurarararararararara!"
"Close. That almost frightened me. You're on the right track."
Hancock put a lot of thought into this next one. "Dereshishishishishi!"
Robin didn't move a muscle.
"No good?" Hancock asked.
Robin didn't say anything for a minute. It wasn't until a tear ran down her eye a minute later that she began smiling once more.
"Yeah. That one's perfect." She wiped the tear from her eye. "Luffy will cower before you when he hears you."
Hancock cupped her hands against her cheeks. She could already imagine her and Luffy laughing together. Sharing uncountable amounts of joy as they'd finally be together. Oh she could see it now..
"Captain!" the navigator yelled.
"What have I told you about interrupting my fantasies?"
"Forgive me my empress. But something's approaching our ship!"
"Is it Luffy!?" Hancock who had been practically floating on air raced to the deck of the ship to look out to sea. It was impressive how she could go from merciless empress to maiden in love at the drop of a name.
"Negative. Its sky bound and heading towards our ship."
"Enemy fire?"
The amazon navigator hesitated to answer. "Umm… Sort of?" It wasn't a launched projectile heading their way, but it was probably an enemy. And it was definitely on fire. So, their captain wasn't wrong.
Hancock peered through a telescope for a better look. It appeared to be some sort of person traveling through the sky. Hancock rubbed her eyes and looked again. As it got closer, Hancock could confirm it was a man heading towards them as though he was running on air with feet cloaked in flames.
Nami squinted her eyes to get a better look at the seemingly familiar shape. "Don't tell me… Is that…"
"NAMI-SWAN! ROBIN-CHAN! YAMATO-CHAN!"
"Yup. He came to save us. I wouldn't expect any less from him." Robin confirmed.
"Hey Sanji!" Yamato waved her arms frantically. "We're over here!"
Nami searched all around for any signs of the Thousand Sunny, only for her fears to be realized when she couldn't find their ship. Just as she feared, this idiot had come alone. Unknowingly to a ship full of nothing but women.
Nami was a navigator and not a shaman. But she had a pretty good idea how this would all play out. "Well… This rescue plan has already gone to hell." Her snark didn't make things any better, but the other straw hats couldn't disagree with her.
