It may sound strange, but the truth is that the dress she wore One Piece: Stampede (and in the Cidre Guild filler arc) is one of the most incredible pieces of clothing ever designed for this franchise.

Yin and Yang is a concept from Chinese philosophy that suits Boa Hancock quite well, as she is a tough and fearsome pirate who in reality is much kinder and more romantic than she may initially appear. So, the idea of ​​giving her a black and white dress that reflects this complex aspect of her personality is quite brilliant.
