Plot Points

 * Marguerite, Sweet Pea, and Aphelandra are turned back to normal.
 * Hancock reveals that the marks on her and her sisters' backs were branded by the World Nobles, and that they were enslaved by them when she was 12 years old.
 * Four years after they were enslaved, the Sisters along with thousands of slaves of different races including Fishmen, were freed by a Fishman who climbed the Red Line to Mariejois named Fisher Tiger.

 * Elder Nyon reveals that it was her that took the Sisters in raised them and brought them back to Amazon Lily.
 * Hancock happily agrees to let Luffy use a ship to leave.
