Spoiler alert: One Piece readers Boa Hancock 's clone Seraphim used her power to turn adults to stone. They believed the adults were attracted to a child, which sparked some controversy. However, Eiichiro Oda clarified in the SBS for volume 106 that this was a fan misunderstanding.
One Piece – Eiichiro Oda clarifies controversial doubt about Boa Hancock
Check it out:
Shortly after the Wano arc, the Seraphim were introduced in One Piece, robots created with the DNA of the Shichibukai and the Lunares. Each Seraphim has the power and appearance of a Shichibukai, but in child form. A clone of Boa Hancock also emerged with the powers of the Mero Mero no Mi , the Devil Fruit capable of petrifying those attracted to the user.
Boa Hancock uses her power to turn anyone who feels sensually attracted to her beauty into stone. Meanwhile, the clone Seraphim, who appears as a child, used the same power to petrify adult men. As a result, some manga readers began to question whether this could be an inappropriate act.
However, Eiichiro Oda explained in the latest SBS that those who are petrified by little Seraphim Hancock feel attraction in the sense of finding a baby or child cute. In other words, it's not a passionate attraction in the same sense as with adult Hancock.
“L: If someone gets petrified by Loli Hancock’s Mero Mero Mellow, will they be treated like a lolicon afterward? They won’t, right? Please tell me they won’t!!!”
O: Her power is to prey on people who think, "How cute," "beautiful," and thus lower their emotional guard. We all look at babies and children and think they're cute, right? And that's enough to make us petrified. Even if there's a true lolicon among those petrified, it's impossible to determine what kind of emotion led them to this state. So don't worry, your lolicon identity hasn't been revealed, so now stay petrified!
Synopsis:
The story revolves around Monkey D. Luffy, a young man who gained a rubber body after eating the magical Gomu Gomu no Mi (the Rubber Fruit). Inspired by his childhood idol, the powerful pirate Red-Haired Shanks, he becomes a pirate and sets sail across the sea to find the mythical treasure, the One Piece, and proclaim himself the Pirate King.
