Before I do my general analysis post, I want to do a brief explanation of how Boa's Fruit works, using Manga panels as direct evidence.
(Disclaimer: I did not want S-Snake to have Boa's Fruit, and I think the way Oda wrote this is unnecessarily sketchy, especially considering Boa's past as an implied sexual abuse victim. The way Oda drew the Marines with the standard heart eyes and tongue is just... bad. IT'S BAD. I am not defending Oda's writing decisions, I'm explaining how Boa's Fruit works)
A lot of people (including myself at first) falsely were acting like Boa's Fruit is based off of sexual attraction. So, we thought the CP agents were turning to stone, because they felt lust for Boa. That's not how her Fruit works, though: it is based off of admiration for her beauty, as well as lust.
While most often, this is shown through Boa using her beauty to seduce men, and then turn them into stone via their impure thoughts regarding her body, Amazon Lilly showed he is also capable of using people's admiration for her beauty/cuteness to turn them to stone, rather than just pure lust.
Let's look through some Amazon Lilly panels:
As Boa arrives, she is greeted by a crowd, with one woman having heart eyes. Of course, this doesn't prove anything by itself, so let's continue on:
The next instance I could find of heart eyes being triggered by Boa amongst the Kuja is, hilariously enough, Grandma Nyon herself. Am I supposed to believe this old ass lady, who already had her experience with chasing love, wants to fuck Boa Hancock? Somehow I doubt that (please no one make lewds of this, PLEASE):
Now that we've confirmed even the heterosexual elderly can fall for Boa's charms, we see her own attendants also simp over her, after Boa literally yeeted said elderly woman (who saved her life in the past, mind you) out of a fucking window. But, Boa's too beautiful, so, her attendants understand her attempted geriatricide:
Now, we have BY FAR the most important panels, that prove directly that Boa's powers are also based on beauty/cuteness/admiration, rather than purely lust. In this panel, Boa uses her Mero Mero Mellow, which is supposed to target people's impure thoughts, and turn them into stone, to turn three women who aren't even simping, and have no heart eyes, into stone.
This panel proves that Boa's Fruit is not purely-lust based, and that heterosexual woman are perfectly capable of falling for her charms. Marguerite does blush a little, though. Her admiration for her Queen's beauty is too great, and she cannot bear to stare her straight in the eyes:
Immediately after, the rest of the Kuja accept the fact that Boa more or less murdered their sisters in cold blood because... wait for it... Boa, their Hebihime, is beautiful. Lust has nothing to do with any of this section, unless you want to convince me Amazon Lilly is filled with closeted lesbians who all want to fuck Hancock (including Nyon, LOLOLOLOL).
Boa's powers are based off of triggering people's tendency to worship beautiful things, hence her position as Pirate Empress/Kuja Queen. Her entire character is based off of her desire to be worshipped.
If Sanji ever does turn to stone, it won't be because he wants to fuck a clone child, it will because he is enamored my her natural charm and beauty, just like the women on Amazon Lilly.
(SECOND DISCLAIMER: Fuck Oda for pulling this shit, there's plenty of lewd Manga for this kind of thing, I like how One Piece generally doesn't sexualize child characters. However, in this case, I think it's a cultural disconnect, and Oda made a mistake not changing how he drew the faces.
If Sanji simps for S-Snake, I will scream: I just want to make it clear, that Boa's power is not purely lust based. WHY ODA WHY MAKE THE CP AGENTS SIMP OVER A CLONE CHILD GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M SICK OF DEFENDING YOUR SHIT ODAAAAAA CHILDREN WATCH YOUR SHOW ON TV ODAAAAAA.
Now back to your regularly scheduled powerscaling debates, chapter analysis soon.
