I did not ignore anything. I am merely saying Rayleigh's the biggest reason why everyone backed off when all of them were at each other's throats before he came in. I am not sure how that's so hard to comprehend. If Hancock could end BB so easily, then Rayleigh wouldn't talk about him potentially losing against BB. And BB did not enter the island without ever considering the possibility of a fight with her. He's prepared to fight her. He was simply not willing to risk giving her a chance to turn him into a stone when he doesn't have to. Not being foolish and being scared are two different things.
The marines went there to capture her knowing she can turn them into stones. It's not something they only learned after entering the island. That's why they took the Pacifista with them because her beauty can't charm them.
"Each other's throats".. nobody was at each other's throat it was Boa trying to deal with Marines & Blackbeard pirates on the island at the sametime. She dealt with VA Yamakiji, She dealt with two BB Commanders without a single scratch on her. And then Teach got her when she was fighting somebody else.
"He prepared to fight her"... is headcanon, you're trying to support your argument by using headcanon assumptions of what you believe regarding teach. Teach himself tells us here in this very chapter that she would end them if he let go of her, which is why it's a difficult situation, where he can't let her go.. and instead will kill her and deal with his commanders being stoned.
Rayleigh came in and saved Boa from Teach, who got a hold of her when she was fighting the Marines. Not from the marines, Boa would've bitch slapped the marines by herself, like she already was doing.
@Bold, Yes and Momonga was sent there pre-TS to bring in Hancock with force if she denied... the Marines knew about her power then as well. Guess what? Couldn't do shit.
And nobody said her beauty can charm them. She can turn inanimate objects into stone by touching them, nothing to do with beauty charm, that's a different thing. Pacifistas here are no exception.
