And there are two girls who escaped from the Ryugu Palace, and headed to the Sea Forest. They are seeking for some answers, only Jimbei can answer.
Luffy is now in danger, as he was accused of kidnapping Shirahoshi. Sanji turned to stone when he saw the Mermaid Princess, eventhough Chopper warned him not to look. It is known that Sanji gets too much excited everytime he sees beautiful women, and a mermaid is one of his dream girls. Chopper thought that Sanji will lose blood again, but much to their surprise, Sanji is now hard as a rock. And now Chopper is thinking that the okama blood has something to do with this.
[GoogleAd]Out of confusion, the Mermaid Princess cries (as she would always do), and then suddenly Luffy together with Chopper, Hatchan and Sanji were arrested and tied up by the people of Fishman Island! Shirahoshi was doing her best to convince the people that Luffy is not a kidnapper and just wanted to help her. But the people are very angry at the pirates and won't listen to the princess.
Vander Decken suddenly showed up, and all of the people are surprised to see him. The last time he was seen in the island was 10 years ago. Vander threatens the princess that if she will not marry him, she will die. But the Princess was firm on her decisions, he doesn't want to marry him because he's not her type! Vander felt he was struck by a lightning, and his life crumbled into pieces. The woman that he loved for 10 years rejected him, so Vander attacks Shirahoshi for breaking his heart. Even if Luffy is still tied up, he immediately jumps at Decken knocking him off!
Decken is now more furious and wanted to kill Luffy and Shirahoshi. But Luffy is now ready with his new technique, called Gomu Gomu no Jet Hammer, planting Decken's head to the ground. The people captured Decken, while the crew prepares to escape. The Straw Hats and the Princess ride on Megalo's back but Decken yells at Wadatsumi to stop them. Luffy uses his Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol on him and broke his tooth!
Back to the Ryugu Palace, Nami and Keimi are planning to escape. Keimi hesitates as they leave the place, but Nami tells her that it's okay. Nami wanted to see Jinbe, because she's puzzled about the message he sent to Luffy. And now the two are heading to the Sea Forest, where Jinbei is waiting. Neptune tells his soldiers to surrender, for now. He thought of a better plan, they will reassemble with akatsukiaboshi, and if they are ready, they will fight again. Meanwhile, the New Fishman Pirates were surprised to see their captain Jones being overpowered by Zoro
