The chapter opens with the title text, "Chapter 518: \"COLISEUM\"." The cover story continues as "CP9 INDEPENDENT ACTION REPORT VOL. 25: \"HOMETOWN.\"" The CP9 members move through a wooded path toward a tall, narrow tower rising above the trees. Several townspeople or onlookers appear startled around them, and the agents' silhouettes and distinctive shapes fill the foreground as they approach the place identified as their hometown. The tower stands isolated in the distance with birds in the sky and dense trees on both sides, giving the cover a quiet homecoming atmosphere after the CP9 group left Saint Popla by ship. The lower edge of the image is partly cut by the beginning of the next story page, but the cover story caption and chapter title remain clear.

Sandersonia and Marigold rush into the bath chamber in panic, shouting, "SISTER!!!" and "WHAT HAPPENED, SISTER!?" Inside the steaming room, Luffy stands awkwardly across from Hancock while the sisters stare at him in disbelief: "WHO IS THAT...!? A MAN!?" and "WHY IS A MAN IN THIS COUNTRY...!!?" Sandersonia orders, "TAKE THIS ROBE, SISTER...!!" while Marigold demands, "JUST WHAT HAPPENED HERE...!!?" Hancock is shaken beyond her usual composure. Luffy raises both hands, stammering, "NO, NO... I JUST..." but Hancock's face is pale with shock as she says, "HE SAW..." and then, in a close-up of terror and anger, "MY BACK...!!!" The page frames the intrusion not as simple nudity but as the violation of the sisters' hidden mark, the secret Amazon Lily protects with the Gorgon curse legend.

The Gorgon Sisters react with horror. Hancock tells Luffy coldly, "WELL THEN, YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO DIE." Luffy protests, "EH!? WHY!? I JUST SAW HER BACK...!! I FEEL LIKE I'VE SEEN THAT SOME-WHERE BEFORE..." Hancock answers with the weight of the secret: "WE WOULD RATHER DIE THAN LET ANYONE SEE WHAT IS ON OUR BACKS...!!" Luffy, confused and cornered, asks, "THAT...!! WHY!? WHO ARE YOU!? WHY!?" Hancock does not explain. She raises her hands into a heart and says, "TAKE WHAT YOU SAW... TO YOUR GRAVE!! \"MERO MERO MELLOW\"!!!" The heart-shaped beam launches through the bath chamber toward Luffy. He reacts with surprise, "EH? NORO NORO!?" because it resembles a familiar slow beam to him, but the sisters expect it to petrify him as it does anyone whose heart is charmed by Hancock.

03
Luffy braces as the heart beam passes over him and cries, "THE NORO NORO BEAM!? DAMN, I'M SLOWING DOWN!!" He closes his eyes and says, "SLOWING..." but nothing happens. Hancock watches in suspicion and confusion. Luffy lowers his guard, still puzzled, while a tiny question mark hangs between him and the sisters. Hancock tries again from the far side of the bath, calling, "\"MERO MERO MELLOW\"!!!" Another heart wave sweeps over Luffy as he yells, "UWAAA!" Yet again, he remains flesh and blood rather than stone. The page lingers on the impossible failure: Luffy is neither charmed nor petrified, and he misunderstands the attack as a slowing technique rather than a beauty-based petrification. Hancock, who is used to instant submission, has found someone who does not respond to her power in the expected way.

After the second failed Mero Mero Mellow, everyone freezes in a silent cloud of question marks. Hancock grips her robe and demands, "WHY ISN'T HE TURNING TO STONE...!? HE SAW ME IN THE BATH... YET HIS HEART STILL ISN'T MOVED!?" Marigold insists, "THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S POSSIBLE! SISTER!! YOUR BODY IS SO BEAUTIFUL THAT IT CHARMS MEN AND WOMEN, BOTH YOUNG AND OLD!!" Sandersonia guesses, "HIS FEAR OF DEATH MUST BE OVERWHELMING HIS LUST. IT'S PATHETIC, BUT HE'S A LUCKY MAN...!!" Luffy, still not grasping the emotional stakes, says, "I DUNNO WHAT'S GOING ON, BUT I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!! I JUST WANTED TO SEE SOMEONE IMPORTANT!" He tries to explain that he needs to meet someone important so he can get a boat and ride out of the island, but the sisters only see a man who saw what must never be seen.

Luffy flees the bath tower, leaping from high above the castle as someone shouts, "HE JUMPED... FROM THIS HIGH UP!!" Hancock, wrapped in her robe, blows a kiss and says, "CHUU," warning, "YOU WON'T ESCAPE!!" The kiss becomes a heart-shaped projectile with "GYAKIN" and she fires, "\"PISTOL KISS\"!!!" It slams into Luffy like a bullet, making him cry, "UHH!!!" as he tumbles through the air. Luffy is shocked: "WHAT!? THAT WASN'T A BULLET!?" Below, the Kuja notice the intruder: "AN INTRUDER!! IT'S THAT MAN!!" and "CAPTURE HIM!! KUJA PIRATES!!" Other voices ask, "A MAN!? WHY IS A MAN HERE!?" and answer, "Y... YES!!" Luffy has escaped the bath chamber only to be exposed to the whole island, with Hancock's attack and the Kuja alarm driving him toward public punishment.

Luffy is hauled into a massive coliseum, dragged by snake-like steel ropes that coil tightly around him. The crowd roars from the stands as the giant gate marked with kanji opens behind the throne platform. Luffy pants, "ZEEH ZEEH... DAMN!! THEY GOT ME!!" and struggles against the binding: "WHAT'S WITH THESE SNAKES!? THEY'RE LIKE STEEL ROPES!!" The spectators cheer, "KYAAA! LADY HEBIHIME~!" and call for the sisters: "LADY SANDER-SONIA!" and "LADY MARI-GOLD~" At the lower seats, Marguerite, Sweet Pea, and Aphelandra arrive too late. One says, "WE'RE TOO LATE..." another hopes the Kuja do not ask how Luffy got there, and the grim conclusion follows: "HE'S GOING TO BE KILLED..." Luffy looks around and asks, "WHAT'S WITH THIS COUNTRY? THERE REALLY ISN'T A SINGLE MALE HERE," realizing his public execution is becoming a national spectacle.

Hancock sits above Luffy with Sandersonia and Marigold beside her, asking, "NOW I'M ASKING YOU, 'MAN'...!! WHY AND HOW DID YOU COME TO THIS ISLAND...!?" Luffy answers honestly but sounds impossible: "I'M TELLING YOU, I DON'T REALLY KNOW EITHER. JUST A LITTLE WHILE AGO, I WAS FLYING THROUGH THE SKY... AND WHEN I CAME TO, I WAS HERE!!" Hancock rejects it: "YOU LIAR!! I WON'T BE FOOLED BY SUCH A RIDICULOUS STORY...!! YOU MUST HAVE SOME MOTIVE!!" Luffy insists he only wants a boat: "THERE'S SOMEPLACE THAT I NEED TO GET TO, FAST!! IF YOU'RE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON HERE, THEN I'M BEGGING YOU!! I NEED TO GO OUT TO THE SEA!!" The crowd is horrified by his plain speech to Lady Hebihime, calling him rude and vulgar. Hancock's verdict is final: "... DON'T THINK YOU'LL BE LEAVING HERE ALIVE! YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE YOUR DEATH...!!"

Marguerite can no longer stay silent. She shouts from the stands, "PLEASE WAIT!! LADY HEBIHIME!!" Hancock turns, surprised. The crowd recognizes her: "MARGARET!!" Marguerite says, trembling but firm, "... TH-THIS MAN... DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE KIND OF PERSON WHO WOULD LIE!! HE REALLY MEANS EVERYTHING THAT HE SAYS...!! I TRULY DON'T BELIEVE HE MEANS TO BRING HARM TO OUR COUNTRY!!" Luffy brightens and calls up to her, "OH, YOU!! THAT'S RIGHT, THANKS FOR SPEAKING UP FOR ME!!" Hancock asks whether she is one of the guardian warriors, and Marguerite introduces herself: "I AM CALLED MARGARET." Hancock presses the central contradiction: "THE MOMENT THAT MAN ENTERED OUR COUNTRY, WHERE MEN ARE FORBIDDEN, HIS DEATH WAS CERTAIN. WHY DO YOU STAND UP FOR HIM?" Marguerite answers with responsibility: "... I FEEL RESPONSIBLE...!! I WAS THE ONE WHO ALLOWED THIS MAN TO ENTER OUR COUNTRY."

The other guardian warriors panic when Marguerite speaks. Kikyo shouts, "MARGARET...! WHY!?" Sweet Pea adds, "LADY HEBIHIME!! TH... THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT!!" She explains, "THAT'S RIGHT!! WE FOUND THIS MAN IN THE FOREST, COVERED WITH MUSH-ROOMS!! WE THOUGHT HE WAS FROM THE VILLAGE, SO WE JUST TOOK HIM BACK WITH US...!!" and calls, "SWEETPEA!! APHELANDRA!!" On the arena floor, Sweet Pea and Aphelandra join Marguerite in taking responsibility, saying that if Marguerite is punished, they are responsible too. Luffy grins despite the danger and says, "WEREN'T YOU GUYS TRYING TO KILL ME A LITTLE WHILE AGO? JEEZ, YOU TURNED OUT TO BE NICE PEOPLE AFTER ALL, SHISHISHI!!" The crowd murmurs that Marguerite is too honest. Another Kuja says, "IF THEY SAY THAT, THEN..." and Hancock begins descending from her throne, the sound of her steps cutting through the murmurs.

Marguerite bows her head and insists, "I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO BROUGHT THE MAN HERE!!!" Luffy smiles as if her honesty will help, but Hancock says, "THAT'S ENOUGH...!! MARGARET!!" She approaches and speaks softly: "RAISE YOUR HEAD... YOU'RE VERY HONEST, MARGARET..." For an instant Marguerite looks relieved. Then Hancock's expression twists into a predatory smile, and she unleashes "\"MERO MERO MELLOW\"!!!" The heart-shaped beam strikes Marguerite, Sweet Pea, and Aphelandra. In a single cold moment, the three women who saved Luffy are transformed into stone, frozen together in shocked poses. Luffy sits bound on the arena floor, stunned, while Hancock stands before him with her hand extended. The punishment is swift and theatrical: the empress rewards honesty by petrifying the women who confessed to helping the man.

Luffy stares at the petrified Marguerite, Sweet Pea, and Aphelandra, shouting, "EH!? HEY, WHAT!? WHAT'S WRONG, YOU GUYS?!! TALK TO ME!!" He asks, "... HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED...!?" and then realizes, "... THEY TURNED TO STONE...!! WHY...?" Hancock watches without pity and says, "THIS IS THEIR PUNISHMENT FOR SAVING YOU." Luffy snaps back, "HEY YOU!!! WHAT DID YOU DO TO THEM!!? I OWE MY LIFE TO THEM!!!" Hancock ignores his gratitude and orders, "BRING OUT BACURA!!!" The command changes the execution from judgment to spectacle. Luffy remains trapped in the steel-like snake ropes, kneeling before the stone bodies of the women who helped him, while the crowd prepares for the next phase of punishment. The stakes are no longer only Luffy's life; he now has three innocent victims to protect and restore.

Hancock announces the rules of Amazon Lily's punishment: "THIS IS THE COUNTRY OF WARRIORS, AMAZON LILY, WHERE STRENGTH IS BEAUTY... FIGHT WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, DIE A NOBLE DEATH... WE WILL WATCH YOU TO THE END." A black panther-like beast emerges with a deep "GURURURURU!!" as the crowd recoils. Hancock identifies it: "THAT BLACK PANTHER'S NAME IS BACURA. HE HAS BEEN USED BY THIS COUNTRY'S EMPRESS FOR GENERATIONS. AS A CARNIVOROUS EXECUTIONER, ONCE HE IS FINISHED, NOT EVEN THE BONES REMAIN." The creature's roar makes Luffy tense, and the snake ropes withdraw from his body. Luffy immediately asks, "WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN TO THEM!? WILL YOU RETURN THEM TO NORMAL!?" The crowd yells at him for talking back to Lady Hebihime, calling him cheeky and weak. Luffy only faces Bacura with a hard stare, his anger focused.

Bacura towers over Luffy, jaws open in a savage roar of "GARU-RURU-RUU!!!" Luffy, newly freed from the ropes, watches with narrowed eyes and a dry "KOK" in his throat, but he does not run. The black panther lunges with enormous force. In a blur of motion and impact, Luffy drives a brutal counterattack into Bacura, smashing the executioner aside with a huge crashing blow. The beast cries "GYA-BUU!!!" as it is knocked backward, mouth gaping and teeth flashing. The arena crowd erupts in stunned disbelief, one voice shouting "EH!?" as the supposedly unstoppable executioner crumples. Luffy's face in the final close-up is no longer confused or comical. His eyes are sharp, shadowed, and furious. The attack makes clear that Bacura is not the terrifying threat here; Luffy's anger over the petrified women is.

Bacura crashes into the arena wall with a tremendous impact as spectators scream, "BACURA...!!!" Hancock watches in tense silence. The crowd cannot believe it: "HE'S STRONG...!!! BACURA WAS... BEATEN WITH ONE ATTACK?!" Others note the most shocking part: "HE DIDN'T USE HAKI! THEN THAT WAS JUST BRUTE STRENGTH!?" Another woman says, "... THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH ALL OF YOU...!!" Luffy turns his fury on the coliseum and shouts, "WHILE SHE WAS TURNING YOUR FRIENDS TO STONE... HOW COULD YOU ALL SIT THERE LAUGHING LIKE IDIOTS!!?" His anger is not for himself; it is for the women punished for saving him. The page breaks the crowd's easy devotion to Hancock for a moment, because Luffy names the cruelty plainly and makes the spectators confront what they applauded.

The Kuja crowd refuses to accept Luffy's rebuke. They call him "THAT SAVAGE" and "WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLY BARBARIC CREATURE!!" One woman insists, "WE FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE THREE, BUT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH WHAT LADY HEBIHIME DID!!" Another shouts, "THEY WERE WRONG FOR BREAKING OUR COUNTRY'S LAWS!!" Hancock looks down over the arena and repeats her absolute justification: "NO MATTER WHAT I DO... I WILL BE FORGIVEN...!! AND THAT IS BECAUSE... YES, IT'S BECAUSE I'M BEAUTIFUL!!!" The crowd instantly melts again, cheering "LADY HEBIHIME!" and "KYAAA!" with hearts floating through the stands. Hancock asks Luffy, "... FUFU, DON'T YOU FEEL THE SAME WAY...?" Luffy stands below her, still furious and unmoved. The page shows the island's worship of Hancock overpowering sympathy, law, and ordinary moral judgment.

16
Luffy answers Hancock's beauty-and-forgiveness pose with blunt rage: "GOD, YOU PISS ME OFF!!!" Hancock recoils in disbelief, the crowd shocked that he would speak to her that way. Nearby, Sandersonia clings to a serpent or arena structure after the commotion, breathing "HAA..." while Marigold calls, "SISTER!? HANG IN THERE!!" The spectators shout, "HURRY UP AND EXECUTE HIM!!!" and "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO LADY HEBIHIME LIKE THAT...!!" Hancock, shaken and sweating, thinks, "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. THERE SHOULDN'T BE A MAN ALIVE WHO WON'T BE MY PLAYTHING... THAT MAN'S VERY EXISTENCE... I CAN'T STAND IT!!!" Luffy has done more than resist her power; he has refused the worldview that everyone must adore and excuse her. The conflict becomes personal, because his moral anger pierces the performance she uses to rule.

The crowd chants "DEATH!! DEATH!! DEATH!!" as Hancock gives the order: "GO!!" Sandersonia and Marigold step onto the arena floor before Luffy, towering over him. Hancock commands, "SANDER-SONIA!!! MARI-GOLD!!! TAKE THAT MAN'S HEAD!!!" The sisters answer, "LEAVE IT TO US, SISTER..." and begin a terrifying transformation. Their bodies twist, necks lengthen, and serpentine features spread across them with low sounds: Sandersonia murmurs "GUGUGUGUGU..." while Marigold rumbles "ZOWAWAWAWA..." Luffy stands between them, silent and ready, as the massive gate and cheering stands loom behind. The execution has moved from Bacura's brute animal attack to the Gorgon Sisters themselves. Hancock is no longer letting the arena beast handle him; she has sent her own blood to erase the man who angered her.

Sandersonia and Marigold complete their transformations into enormous snake-bodied forms. Luffy looks up and realizes, "SO THEY'RE FRUIT USERS...!!" The crowd, however, interprets the change through the island's legend: "HERE IT IS!! THE GORGON'S CURSE!!" A note explains that the kanji reads "snake pit," and that "Saragi" is the name of a city in Nara. The announcer-like cry declares, "THE YOUNGER GORGON SISTERS ARE STARTING THEIR 'VANCE OF SARAGI'!!" Around the coliseum, the chant continues: "DEATH!! DEATH!! DEATH!!" Sandersonia's snake body coils high beside Luffy, her face calm and almost smiling, while Marigold's massive body curls on the other side. Luffy is physically dwarfed between them, but he does not retreat. The page ends with the two sisters' Devil Fruit forms filling the arena, setting up a true coliseum fight.

An SBS question corner appears with an illustration of characters and floating clouds spelling out SBS. A reader asks whose faces are on the money in the One Piece world, beris, and asks Oda to draw them. Oda says he guesses he had not drawn them before, then shows bills and coins: 10,000 Beri with "Skeleton Yukichi," 5000 Beri with "Bear Adult Ichiro," 1000 Beri with "Rabbit Adult Hideo," plus 500, 100, 50, 10, 5, and 1 Beri coins. He jokes that from now on he will use these designs. Another reader asks about Brook's flashback: in chapter 487, one skeleton with a polka-dot shirt should have died while singing with a sword through his head, but in chapter 488 he is alive, and the reader asks what happened. Oda uses the question to introduce them as the Mizouta twin brothers, with the elder Mizouta Madaisuki saying, "I got stabbed in the head!" and the younger Mizouta Mawaritosuki saying, "I died while singing."
