Character Profile: Boa Hancock

Boa Hancock is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and is the Empress of the people of Amazon Lily, a Nation of women. They kill all men as it is against their laws for men to be on the island. When anyone of the women do get pregnant the child is always a female.

Her powers are from the Love Love fruit which allows her to turn anyone into stone, and back from stone for that matter. She was kidnapped, as a child, by slave traders and sold into slavery along with her sisters. They were each given a devil fruit to eat and that is how she got her powers. She was released when a merman freed his fellow merman from the slave owners and he also released the human captives as well. She went back home and became empress of Amazon Lily.

When Luffy was sent flying, from the Archipelago before the Red Line, as a result of Kuma's attack he landed on Amazon Lily. He accidentally landed in her private bath house. The reason it is private is the rumor of her and her sisters defeating the Gorgon Medusa and afterwards Medusa was said to have placed an eye on their backs and if anybody sees these they will turn to stone. But when Luffy sees her back and she reveals how she was enslaved and branded on the back and revealed what it said earlier and also revealed that the Medusa story was a cover up.

After this, Luffy is sentenced to death according to their laws and he must fight Hancock's sisters. He lives and wins the respect of everyone on Amazon Lily. So Hancock falls in love with Luffy and when Luffy finds out his brother Trace is imprisoned at Impel Down and he must rescue him Luffy asks for a ride to the prison and they leave for Impel Down.
