Background / History
Hancock and her sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold, were kidnapped by human traffickers while at sea and enslaved by the Celestial Dragons. During her imprisonment, Hancock ate the Love-Love Fruit but had no opportunity to develop its power. 20
During Fisher Tiger’s slave-prison breakout, Hancock stayed behind rather than flee because Marigold had suffered a severe leg wound. She overcame her fear of Mislanda to ask him for help; he treated Marigold’s injury, supplied the sisters, and brought them out of the ruined prison. 20
After learning that Mislanda was Rayleigh’s adopted son and therefore connected to former Amazon Lily queen Shakky, Hancock began calling him “His Highness the Prince.” She and her sisters were brought to Shakky’s care on Sabaody Archipelago, where Hancock gradually recognized that her attachment to Mislanda was romantic love. 21 25
Mislanda gave Hancock a ruby-studded spatial ring, which she initially understood as a proposal, and publicly declared her his partner. Although reluctant to part from him, she accepted Shakky’s plan to return her and her sisters to Amazon Lily so she could recover from captivity. 28 29
Hancock was prepared to become Amazon Lily’s next empress under Shakky and Granny Nyon’s guidance. By the time Mislanda reunited with her, she ruled the island and commanded the Kuja Pirates. 37 48 111
She later joined Mislanda at the head of the Kuja Pirates and became part of the Dark Night Pirates’ expanding force. Mislanda promised that she would remain Amazon Lily’s queen even while living beside him. 93 97
Appearance
At the time of her rescue, Hancock was around seventeen years old. Though she wore filthy prison clothes and her face was smeared with dust, Mislanda immediately recognized her exceptional beauty and the alluring aura associated with the Love-Love Fruit. 20 21
- Tall and imposing; she stands roughly 1.9 meters tall. 215
- Her beauty is a major component of her combat effectiveness, enabling the Love-Love Fruit’s petrification effect. 20
- Initially wore Mislanda’s black clothing after escaping the slave prison. 26
- Keeps the large snake Salome as a pet. 49
Personality
Hancock was initially frightened and vulnerable after years of enslavement, but she showed resolve when Marigold needed medical aid. Her first major action after meeting Mislanda was to advocate for her injured sister. 20
She is intensely devoted to Mislanda and suffers anxiety when separated from him, fearing that he may abandon her. Her attachment developed from the care, protection, and stability he gave her after her captivity. 25 37 48
As Amazon Lily’s ruler, Hancock can be commanding and decisive. She exercises absolute authority on the island, directs Kuja forces in battle, and is capable of accepting new members into Mislanda’s unconventional household without openly lashing out. 111 215 220
