[insert text: He saw her back!!]
Marigold: Sister!!!
Sandersonia: Sister, what on Earth is going on?!
Marigold: ?!! // Who is THAT?!! ...A man?!!
Sandersonia: What is a man doing in this country...?!! / Sister!! Your robe......!! // Exactly what has happened here.........?!!
Luffy: Ah - no... look, I...
Hancock: He saw... // ...my back...!!!

3
Marigold/Sandersonia: ?!!
Marigold: ...Then he will have to die. That is the only solution.
Luffy: Wha - ?! / C'mon, what's so bad about seeing someone's back.........?!! // ...Still, I do get the weirdest feeling I've seen that somewhere before...
Hancock: That which you have seen, that which lies upon our backs... // ...is something that must never be seen, even if we die...!!!
Luffy: That......?!! But why?!! // Who are you, anyway?! What the...?!
Hancock: Now take everything you have seen here... with you to the grave!! / Mero Mero Merrow!!!
Luffy: ?!! // Huh? Noro Noro?!

4
Luffy: Is this a Noro Noro Beam?! // Oh, crap - I'm gonna slow down!! // I'm slowing......!! // ?
Hancock: ? // Mero Mero Merrow!!!
Luffy: Aaaghhhh!!

5
Hancock: Why do you not turn to stone......?!! // Even after seeing me in the bath... is your heart not moved in the slightest?!
Marigold: Do not be ridiculous, sister!! // None, old or young, male or female, could fail to be captured by your beauty!!
Sandersonia: His fear of death must simply be outweighing his wicked desires. // Pathetic, but lucky for him...!!!
Luffy: ...I'm not sure what's going on, but I think I'd better get out of here!!
Hancock: !
Luffy: I just want to find someone important, that's all!!

6
Luffy: Haahh!!
Gorgon: He jumped out!! From this height...!!
Hancock: *kiss*~♡ // You're not getting away!! // Pistol Kiss!!!
Luffy: Agh...!!! // Huh?! It wasn't a bullet?!
Hancock: That man is an intruder!! // Capture him!! / Kuja Pirates!!
Kuja: Y - Yes, sir!! / A man?! Why's a man...?!!

7
Kuja: Ahhhh~~!♡ Hebihime-sama~~~~!♡
Luffy: Damn...!! Get off me already!! / *pant* / *pant* / What's with these snakes?! They're like steel rope!!
Kuja: Marigold-sama~~~~!♡ // Sandersonia-sama~~~~!♡
Kikyou: ...We were too late... // Now all we can do is hope we are not asked how he got here...
Margaret: ......... / He's going to be killed, isn't he... That man...
Luffy: ......What's with this country? // There really isn't a single guy here...

8
Hancock: ...Now then, let me ask you, Man...!!! // How, and for what purpose, did you come here to our island...?!!
Luffy: Look, I don't even really know how I got here! / I just ended up flying through the air...... and before I knew it, // I was just here!!
Hancock: Filthy liar!! You cannot fool us with such a laughable tale... / You must have some purpose here!
Luffy: Well, if it's a purpose you want... I'd like a boat!! Well, really, a ride would be best... / But whatever, I just have to get out of here quickly; there's somewhere I have to go!! // If you're the most important person here, then please!! I have to go out to sea!!
Kuja: ...............!! Addressing Hebihime-sama in such a fashion... // Such a crude, undignified brute he is.........!!! How terrible......!!
Hancock: .........You will not leave this place alive. // You cannot escape from death now...!!!

9
Margaret: Please, wait!! Hebihime-sama!!
Hancock: !
Kuja: Margaret...!!
Margaret: ......I do not believe that this man... / I do not believe that he is the kind of person who would lie!! // What he is saying is the truth...!! / I cannot believe that he means any harm to our country!!
Luffy: Y - You...?! That's right! You tell her, please!!
Hancock: One of my country's guards...?
Margaret: My name is Margaret!
Hancock: The simple act of entering this country means death for any man. Why do you defend him?
Margaret: ...I feel I have a debt to him...!! The one who brought this man into our country... / ...was me!

10
Kikyou: !!! // Margaret!! ...Why...?!
Sweetpea: Hebihime-sama!! Th... "There Is An Explanation For This"!!
Aphelandra: That's right!! We found this man covered in mushrooms in the forest!! We thought he was one of our villagers, that's the only reason why we...!!
Kikyou: Sweetpea!! Ariadne!!
Aphelandra: We are as much to blame as she is for bringing the man into our land!!
Margaret: Stop this, you two! I'm the one who said we should take him to the village!!
Luffy: What's all this, after you tried to kill me and everything...! / So you're actually nice guys really, huh? Shishishishi!!
Ran: If they carry on like this.........
Daisy: You're just too honest, aren't ya, Margaret! Zahahaha!!

11
Margaret: It was I alone who brought the man into this country!!!
Kikyou: Margaret!!
Hancock: Enough.........!! // Raise your head... "honest Margaret".........
Margaret: .................. // !
Hancock: Mero Mero Merrow!!!
People: !!
Margaret: Ah - !
Luffy: ?!!

12
Luffy: Huh?! What's going on?! You guys?!! What's wrong...?! // C'mon, answer me...!!
Kikyou: .........You fools...!!!
Luffy: What's wrong with you?!!! // .........They've turned to stone.........!! // But why......? // Hey - you!!! What did you do to them?!!! / These guys saved my life!!!
Hancock: Indeed. And for that reason... // ...they have been punished accordingly.
Luffy: Wait...!!
Hancock: Bring Bacura to the arena!!!

13
Hancock: This is the warrior nation, Amazon Lily, where strength is beauty... // You shall die fighting for your life, whilst we watch you meet your doom. // This black panther is named Bacura. For many generations...
Bacura: Grrrrrr!!
Hancock: ...he has served this land's Empress as a carnivorous executioner. Once the execution is done... / ...not a single bone of the victim will remain.
Luffy: ! / Ah! The snakes are gone! // What's going to happen to these guys, huh?!! Will they go back to normal?!
Kuja: Don't talk back to Hebihime-sama!! // Go get him, Bacura!! // You stupid weak little "man"!!
Hancock: Bacura!!
Luffy: ......!!

14
Bacura: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAHH!!!
Luffy: !
Kuja: !!! // Wha - ?!!

15
Hancock: ......!!
Kuja: Aahhhhh~~~!! // Bacura......!!!
Ran: He's strong......!!! Bacura... was defeated in a single hit?!! // He wasn't even using Haki... // He did that with pure brute force?!
Luffy: ...There's something wrong with you guys......!! // That woman...
Kuja: ...............?
Luffy: WHEN SHE JUST TURNED YOUR NAKAMA INTO STONE... // ...HOW THE HELL CAN YOU ALL JUST SIT AROUND LAUGHING?!!!
Kuja: ?!!

16
Kuja: The savage is actually shouting at us...!! // Ah, what a ferocious beast he is!! // Of course we feel sorry for those three, but there's nothing wrong with what Hebihime-sama did!! // It was their fault for breaking the laws of the land!!!
Hancock: ...No matter what I may do......
Luffy: .........
Hancock: ...I will always be forgiven.........!! / Why, you ask...? // It is because I am... // ...beautiful!!!
Kuja: Aaaahhhhhh~~~~!♡ // Hebihime-sama~~~~!♡
Hancock: ......Hoho... And you, too......... You forgive me, do you not......?
Luffy: ...............!!

17
Luffy: You really piss me off...!!!
Hancock: ?!!! // Ahhh...
Marigold: Sister?!! Get a hold of yourself!!
Hancock: This is simply impossible... / There cannot possibly exist a man immune to my charms... // .........That man's existence... / I cannot bear it!!!
Kuja: How can he speak that way to Hebihime-sama...?!! // Hurry up and execute him!!!

18
Kuja: Death!! // Death! // Death!
Hancock: Go!! // Marigold...!! // Sandersonia...!! // Take that man's head for me!!!
Sandersonia: You just leave it to us, sister...

19
Luffy: ...............!! // Are these guys Fruit users.........?!!
Kuja: Here it comes!! The Gorgon curse!! // The younger Gorgon sisters are going to start their "Saragi Dance"!!
[TN: "Saragi" is the name of a city in Nara, the kanji of which literally mean "snake pit".]
Luffy: ?!!
Kuja: Death! // Death!! // Death!!
