This seems familiar (spoilah for OP516)
I have such mixed feelings about Boa Hancock.
On the one hand YESSSSS NEW SHICHIBUKAI! (loves those guys) AND A SHE-CHIBUKAI TO BOOT! LUFFY MIGHT CONCEIVABLY HAVE A PROPER FIGHT AGAINST A FEMALE FOE!!1
On the other hand, her powers.. erm. I hope there's more to it than using men's desire as a means of turning them to stone. Much as I like the nod to Greek mythology, making her source of power stem from being a temptress is so.. uninspired.
And doesn't the description of that little 'display' between her and the marines seems a bit Alvida-ish? Especially if we can assume that she's going to try and use the same trick against Luffy, which obviously won't work because well, it's Luffy. (Heck none of the Straw Hats besides Sanji and Brook are particularly 'lustful', so I can't see her fruit being effective against any of them.)
However, if her power extends to being able to petrify people exhibiting ANY kind of strong emotion, then well, that's be awesome.
I won't be able to do my usual image-heavy chapter ramble because I'm heading south of the border for a little while (lol road trip), but I hope Boa won't disappoint.
