Blackbeard’s interest in Boa Hancock’s Mero Mero no Mi (Love-Love Fruit) might indeed stem from its unique ability to turn people into stone—an ability that could theoretically bypass conventional defenses, perhaps even affecting those with special forms of immortality. Since this Devil Fruit works by exploiting emotional vulnerability or desire, it’s plausible that it could affect characters who are otherwise very resilient or even "immortal."

Bypassing Physical and Devil Fruit Resistances: Hancock’s ability doesn’t rely on physical strength or brute force alone. Instead, it uses her target's natural instinct of lust at first glance or absolute physical contact against them the slighest touch of her kick can petrified them. This might be one of the few abilities that could bypass powerful Devil Fruit defenses or natural resistances like powerful logia user, as it’s not a raw physical attack but rather a psychological one or one hit one kill attack.

Potential Against Immortality: Some characters in the One Piece world, like those who have received the "immortality surgery" from the Ope Ope no Mi, might only be susceptible to unique forms of attack. If the Mero Mero no Mi can turn even such people to stone, it could theoretically “kill” immortals by trapping them eternally in stone, effectively bypassing their unending life.

It'll be very usefull for him if he were up against the world government without worry about overpower enemies. He know Boa personality will not want to cooperate with him, dude even ask Bonney to be her women but he instanly know Boa will just kill him if he just joked about it.

Thats why despite not sending admirals to capture all the ex warlord and despite mihawk considered stronger than her. Even the marine still sent two seraphim to capture her not killing her as intention stated by koby.

Yet the prediction she will be captured sooner or later because it deemed more beneficial to the plotline. It'll serves as powerful trigger for Strawhat Crew to enter marijois arc and cooperate with Revolutionary Plan and fits saving allies concept.

Beside it clear that Vivi is also targeted but it will be to redundant to just save her again after alabasta arc so it need additional fuel. Boa's Traumatic past can be powerful fuel and her captured story might mirroring Bonney's mother story and it'll fullfill luffy promise to pay her back.

That's why its important to show her again after so many arc and her survival against Blackbeard. Unlike nami or Fisher tiger who rebrand their traumatic mark, it was weird that she never did try to do the same eventhough she hates it so much it serves a point that her mark will be usefull for future plot if its recognizable at it is.

I read a theory that Lily disapereance 800 years ago to hide in calm belt to build Amazon Lily and the reason why men banned there in the first place is due to her avoiding certain enemies come and suspicious of the island tight security and it become hereditary culture. It'll also make their advance knowledge in haki since the past compared to others country make sense. If Lily didn't die on marijois it plausible she'll want live in seclusion afterall nefertari family does indeed has tendency to give birth to daughter first in history.

But there is one more mystery which is the descendant of the D, does that mean they all Lily descendant? that's why she want to continue living and didnt go against the world government after joyboy death? the reason why all D clan member scattered around the world since men as the name bearer arent allowed to stay in amazon lily and the female line didnt pass down the name in the island.

Most of D clan member has black hair and coincidentally most powerfull warrior in kuja always has the same color hair but Lily hair was blue the same as vivi.

Lily eventhough one of the 20 family who go against the Ancient Kingdom shown has somewhat good relationship with JoyBoy which supposed to be their enemies, which fits what happen in marineford arc with boa as warlord so it might looked like joke and really out of nowhere but actually subtle foreshadowing for much important mystery.

It also make sense the theory if gloriosa lovesickness partner is Rock.D.Xebec.

She already a Captain to Kuja Pirates at her time but instead choosing to join Rock Pirates they must met at some point and very strong reason for her to abandon her post.
