Boa Hancock

==Summary==
The sixth of the Seven Warlords of the Sea to be introduced. Boa Hancock is the Empress of the isolated Amazon Lily and captain of the Kuja Pirates. Renowned throughout the world for her beauty, she appears to be aloof, spoiled, cruel, and selfish, prone to looking down on others.
She uses the Love-Love Fruit (Mero Mero no Mi) which allows her to turn people who lust after her into stone. 
She was kidnapped and forced into slavery as a child along with her sisters Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold, and spent four years under the control of the World Nobles, who among other things forced them to eat Devil Fruits and branded them like cattle.
When Hancock was sixteen, a man named Fisher Tiger appeared and while his goal was simply the liberation of the fishman slaves, he freed as many as he could without discrimination. The sisters were later taken in by Elder Nyon, Rayleigh and Shakuyaku, and returned to the Kuja pirates. To not let the truth become known, they said that they had killed a Gorgon and thus were punished with their brands, gaining fame as the Gorgon Sisters. In the decades that followed, Hancock became a powerful figure that commanded respect and loyalty with her strength and beauty.
However, this facade began to fall apart after meeting Monkey D. Luffy, one of the few men to be completely immune to her charms. Seeing his strength and determination ultimately led Hancock to fall in love with the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, becoming an ally to them.
Her bounty is 1,659,000,000 berries.

Lifting Strength: At least Class T (Superior to her sisters Sandersonia and MarigoldOne Piece Vol. 53 Chapter 515. As one of the strongest females in series, she should be at least on the level of the likes of Yamato)
Striking Strength: Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level
Durability: Multi-Continent level, possibly Moon level (Comparable to her Attack Power. Took a hit to the head from BlackbeardOne Piece Vol. 104 Chapter 1059)
Stamina: Superhuman (Has fought in the frontlines of the Marineford War. When it was over, she didn't show a single sign of injury or exhaustion)
Range: Standard Melee Range, at least Tens of Meters with projectiles
Standard Equipment: A very large snake named Salome that she can harden with Haki, allowing her to use it as a weapon.
Intelligence: Gifted (As the captain of the Kuja Pirates and a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hancock is an immensely talented and capable combatant, easily demolishing scores of Pacifistas with her decades of experience in hand-to-hand combat and the use of her Devil Fruit's abilities. She is also one of the few people in the world able to use all three forms of Haki, allowing her to easily anticipate her foes' attacks and crush them with her superior technique. As such, even the highest echelons of the World Government, including the Admirals, are wary of her power and influence. Her prowess was proven during the Whitebeard War, where she was one of the only combatants to leave the battlefield completely unscathed, despite clashing with both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines during the conflict. However, her confidence in her beauty and strength has also made her rather arrogant, often looking down upon others with reckless abandon. In addition, her love for Luffy drives many of her actions, which nearly led her to leap into the fray against the Admirals despite the political upset it would cause.)
Weaknesses: Standard Devil Fruit users weaknesses. Her Devil Fruit's abilities don't work on someone who isn't attracted to her (Example: Luffy), or is feeling an emotion far superior at the time they would feel lust for her (Momonga was able to not be affected during the time she used her powers due to feeling the pain from stabbing himself more than his lust for her)
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Haki: There are normally two types of Haki regular people can tap into: the Kenbunshoku Haki which allows individuals to sense the presence of others, and Busōshoku Haki which allows individuals to create an invisible armor around them. There is however a third type of Haki, Haōshoku Haki, that only a few individuals can use. Hancock is one of these people.
* Haōshoku Haki (Color of the Conquering King): Hancock is stated to be capable of utilizing Haoshoku Haki. She's been shown to use it making animals her servants.
* Busōshoku Haki (Color of Armaments): Hancock has displayed the ability to harm Luffy's Rubber body and Smoker's smoke body with blunt force and projectiles, and like the residents of her island capable of applying hardening to her pet snake, meaning she is at least proficient with it
* Kenbunshoku Haki (Color of Observation or Mantra): She sensed both Luffy and the Heart Pirates were alive deep underwater despite other Kenbunshoku Haki users being unaware, and continued to track their movement while still underwater.
Mero Mero no Mi (Love Love Fruit): A Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that Hancock was forcibly fed as a young woman, it grants her the ability to incite lust and perversion in others as well as the ability to turn her foes to stone should they fall for her charms. Anyone who experiences any sort of "dirty thoughts" towards her will be susceptible to this Devil Fruit's powers, as the Fruit itself amplifies those feelings in order to affects the targets. During this time, Hancock's petrified victims will have their consciousness frozen, as if time had stopped around them, preventing them from making any sort of action unless Hancock willingly releases them from this state. However, sufficient concentration, being blind or blindfolded (and thus unable to experience Hancock's beauty), or simply lacking any sort of affection for Hancock can nullify these effects. On the other hand, she can also petrify her foes with her physical attacks as well as her techniques, regardless of whether or not the target feels lust for her, even working on inanimate objects or machines like Pacifistas. But this use of her powers will only affect the area struck rather than the entirety of the target's body.
*Mero Mero Merrow: Hancock's signature technique, she forms a heart shape with her hands to fire a heart-shaped beam that applies her Devil Fruit's effects to anyone in range. However, as with the Devil Fruit's normal functions, this technique can be resisted by focusing on something other than Hancock (such as a powerful emotion or self-inflicted pain) or simply by not feeling any sort of affection for her (as if the case with Luffy)
** Awaken: Hancock blows a kiss at a person or persons previously turned to stone by Mero Mero Merrow, which causes small hearts that wash over them and restore them to their normal state.
*Pistol Kiss: Hancock blows a kiss, creating a heart-shaped bullet to fire at her victim by aiming it with her index finger. This attack doesn't petrify her opponent, but instead has enough force to pierce the opponent. When first seen on Amazon Lily, Boa Hancock send the bullet flying with enough force that it immediately pierced through Luffy's rubber body, despite the latter constantly displaying the ability to bounce bullets off of his body with ease.
*Slave Arrow: Hancock breathes in deeply and blows a kiss, creating a giant heart that detonates to unleash a barrage of hundreds of arrows that petrify anything they strike, freezing them in place whether or not they were in motion. As such, this can also be used defensively, stopping cannonballs in their tracks.
*Perfume Femur: Hancock performs a handstand before performing a series of spinning kicks that utilize her Devil Fruit's power to petrify anything she strikes, turning her foes to stone upon contact before smashing them with the force of her kicks. However, this technique's effects only apply to the portions of the body Hancock strikes, leaving the rest of the victim unharmed.
