The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock herself (and Salomé)
Head Swap 017 - Pirates
This was the first monthly illustration for 2022! This time, we’re featuring the world of One Piece!
We’re not sure what the the Straw Hats could’ve done to make Trafalgar Law angry, but it seems he’s leaving Luffy and Boa Hancock swapped like this as punishment, among other things.

A Woman
Amazon Lily has always been Luffy’s whole world. He loves its rocky mountains, runs through its green forests from dawn to dusk, adores the calm bay, the soft song of the waves. He laughs at the skies when rain falls, stick his tongue out, drink the heavy drops and when the rain season comes, Hancock is resolute to sew his clothes herself. She’s fifteen, and by the gods it’s been two years already, it seems Luffy never ceases to grow.
She becomes quite talented for it, embroiders her clan’s coat of arms on it, doesn’t jab her fingers as much as in her first days. She knows Luffy will never be able to see it, but at least, the rest of the tribe will.
And yet she still fears for him at night, let her terror taint her dreams with the shapes of her people taking him away from her, claiming she’s nothing but a wicked woman and fating this child to a merciless death, and it doesn’t happen as much as before but it is still enough to bring clouds of gloom on her young and tired face.
Hancock sews harder. Forgets the blood dripping off her hands and the needle piercing her skin because there’s nothing in the whole world she won’t do for him, for Luffy, for her child, and truly, her blood is but a small price to pay for a smile on his face.
I usually hate the ‘gorgeous woman falls unconditionally in love with the subpar mc’ trope but ngl Luffy deserves it
Happy Birthday Empress, Boa!
