Enjoy summary of this One Piece episode:
In the Fishman Island, the Straw Hat pirates are now wanted by the police because of a wrong accusation and prediction. But can the authorities handle the witty Straw Hats? In the Ryugu Palace, a mysterious Mermaid Princess meets Luffy and shares her sadness. And there's an alliance emerging on the ocean floor.
In this episode, it is funny to know that everytime a woman likes Luffy he's just so blind to realize it. A good example is HanNaruto, even if she literally throws herself to Luffy, the latter just ignores it. In the previous episode of One Piece 531, Luffy was searching for food and before he knows it he was already inside the room of Neptune's princess daughter. The princess got scared and ended up crying. These misadventures of Luffy can lead him to a strings of problems, that the Straw Hats are still unaware of. The Straw Hat pirates are being accused of killing mermaids.
The Princess' screaming and crying caught the attention of the guards. But the Princess suddenly had a change of heart when she saw the guards, so she hid Luffy in her hand. She must have wanted to keep him for a while and examine him, or she just wants someone whom she can talk to about her girly problems.
The mermaid Princess started opening up to Luffy. She tells her problems, how she wants to get out of the castle and be free to explore the world. As she was talking, Luffy was busy munching lots of food! But of course, Luffy is also listening to her.
The story is starting to build a few more important elements, especially in this episode in the royal palace. I think that the part where Luffy spent time with the Mermaid Princess is essential in the story, although she's kind of irritating but Luffy balanced everything because of his funny acts. It's going to contribute in other ways for sure, now that the other parts of the story are coming together.
In next episode of One Piece 533 entitled "Emergency Situation - The Ryugu Palace is Occupied". Strawhats hold King Neptune and the entire Ryugu Palace hostage. Luffy takes Princess Shirahoshi for a ride in her Megalo shark. See us in our Anime Forum for discussions. We'll review this One Piece episode shortly.
